“What’s the situation, is this brat Zhang Ruochen done offending all the cultivators in the world?”
Wine Crazy Man pressed one hand on Zhang Ruochen’s back and turned around, looking at the locust-like cultivators rushing over, he was also startled.
The number of cultivators who had struck out was too many to count, some were striking out in the open, while some were hiding in the shadows.
The cultivators in the open were all rabble, however, those hidden in the shadows were each extremely powerful, at least at the Saint realm cultivation level.
Some of them perhaps wanted to seize the treasure, while others wanted to bring death to Zhang Ruochen, not wanting to let him leave the Imperial City.
“Although the Empress hasn’t ordered it, however, I can guess her mind, she actually wants to kill Zhang Ruochen to get rid of future troubles, it’s just that it’s inconvenient to do so in the Empress’s capacity.”
Some of the higher-ups of the imperial court and the Ministry of Military Affairs were guessing what was in the Empress’ mind, wanting to behead Zhang Ruochen to curry favour with the Empress.
“The Nine Great Realm Sons have all suffered great losses at the hands of Zhang Ruochen, they must behead Zhang Ruochen to avenge them.”
“The Empress has become a god, it won’t be long before she will definitely abdicate, and the new lord of the Kunlun Realm will definitely be born among the nine Realm Sons. Whoever can kill Zhang Ruochen will definitely be able to soar in the future.”
There was a Thousand Stripes Destruction Power and Saint Art that descended from the sky, bound to obliterate Zhang Ruochen.
How powerful was Gu Songzi’s mental power, naturally, he heard some secret transmissions and probably understood what was going on, and said grimly, “No matter what, Zhang Ruochen has saved a lot of human beings, and what he has done is something that even old me admires. The Empress is really ruthless, is this an attempt to drive out all of them?”
Gu Songzi already knew about the time when the Empress had forced the Wine Crazy Man to kneel and swear, and thus, was quite resentful towards the Empress.
Gu Songzi was about to strike, when suddenly, a cold wind, swept head on, and then a woman with a head full of white hair, appeared in front of the three of them out of nowhere.
Although, her head full of white hair, but does not appear old, has an extremely young immortal face, skin as gelatinous, red lips bright, eyelashes long, elegant temperament, very much like from the painting out of the stunning goddess.
On her body, yet a cold and chilly power surged out.
“Die.”
There was no sign of any movement on her part, only, from her red lips, she spat out such a word.
“Boom boom.”
One by one, the bodies of the cultivators exploded and turned into blood mist, and there were also some cultivators who were farther away who let out miserable cries and fell down from mid-air.
With just this one word, a large area was cleared, with tens of thousands of cultivators falling, and in the air, a thick smell of blood wafted.
The air, turned blood red.
“She’s the Sacred Ancestor of Mingtang, run away.”
“Heavens, how did this Gaijin female devil come to the Central Imperial City again? Hurry up and leave this place, piss her off and ambush her for thousands of miles.”
“It’s over, since the Bright Hall Sacred Ancestor has appeared, the treasures on Zhang Ruochen’s body will most likely be taken by her. After obtaining those treasures from Zhang Ruochen, won’t her cultivation level rise even higher?”
Whether it was the bright curmudgeons or the big names hidden in the shadows, all of them were fleeing.
“Wow–”
In the Central Imperial City, a thousands of miles long cyan-coloured cloud bridge flew out, and on the cloud bridge, there were dense words floating.
Wang Shiqi stepped on the cloud bridge and arrived outside the city, appearing hundreds of feet above the ground. Behind him stood dozens of Sacred Scholars and Great Scholars of the Ru Dao, including the Patriarchs of the four sects of the Ru Dao.
On top of that, the Fighting Heavenly King and the King of Slaying the End of the World, among other great figures from the Ministry of War, also showed up and appeared in several other directions.
Wang Shiqi was wearing a Confucian robe, with a majestic aura all over his body, his voice spreading across heaven and earth: “Kong LanYou, the Empress has already become a god, how dare you come to the Central Imperial City to kill in a big way, do you really think that the Empress has killed not you?”
Kong Lan You’s pupils released two sharp cold auras, saying, “So what if Chi Yao becomes a god? The debt she owes, sooner or later, someone will find her to pay it back. Wang Shiqi, if you’re sensible, immediately bring the court’s wine bags and get the hell out of here, don’t force me to go on a killing spree.”
Beside them, the Wine Crazy Man and Ancient Songzi glanced at each other, both revealing an odd expression, secretly saying, “The Mingtang Sacred Ancestor is just awesome, how dare he speak to Wang Shiqi like that, that’s the Sacred Teacher of Confucianism, the First Central Empire’s Imperial Sovereign, and a counted big shot of the Kunlun Realm.”
Behind Wang Shiqi, a white-bearded, white-haired great Confucian stepped out and said in a cold voice, “How dare you, with the new god coming out and the world returning to the world, how can we allow you, a female devil, to continue to show off?”
Kong Lanyou’s pair of phoenix eyes glanced towards him, stretching out a glistening white finger and pointing it forwards.
“Not good.”
Wang Shiqi’s face changed slightly, and he hurriedly released his spiritual power.
In the next moment, a steady stream of heaven and earth holy qi converged over, transforming into a single arcane holy text and forming a “shield” character.
“Boom.”
In an instant, the “Shield” character formed by Wang Shiqi crumbled apart, and an invisible energy flew past his neck and struck the white-bearded, white-haired great scholar.
“Pfft.”
In the next moment, that great scholar’s body was split into pieces, and the bloody remains of his body, fell from the sky.
In the Imperial City, many cultivators looked in that direction, and all of them twitched at the sight of that great scholar being killed.
The saints present were all subdued by this strike from Kong Lan You.
The eyes of the Fighting Heavenly King sank as he carried a serpentine spear and took a step forward.
Wang Shiqi’s face was quite grave as he stared at the Fighting Heavenly King and shouted out in a deep voice, “Go back.”
“Taizai, why are you blocking this king?”
A puzzled look appeared in the eyes of the Fighting Heavenly King.
“She should have already crossed the final step, her realm is already different from ours, you going up is also …… death ……”
Wang Shiqi’s body was trembling, covering his heart, only feeling that the Sacred Heart was going to be shattered by the might on Kong Lanyou’s body. The Kong Lan You of the past could never have caused such oppression to him.
Hearing Wang Shiqi’s words, Fighting Heavenly King’s face changed drastically and he hastily backed away.
In the court, other powerful people, too, looked at each other, revealing deep scorn.
Kong Lanyou snorted lightly, and pressed his palm in the direction of the Central Imperial City, and immediately, every cultivator in the city felt incredibly oppressed.
“Rumble.”
A large handprint, tens of thousands of feet long, coalesced out and slapped down, splitting the three thousand zhang high statue of the god in the Zi Wei Palace into pieces and turning it into a piece of rubble.
At the same time, the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword flew out from the city and fell into Kong Lan You’s hands.
“Let’s go.”
Kong Lanyou turned around, and with a flick of his palm, he struck out a layer of yarn-like holy qi, which rolled up Zhang Ruochen, Ancient Songzi, and the Wine Crazy Man, and in an instant, they disappeared outside of the Imperial City.
Not long after, they were far away from the Imperial City and appeared in an open wilderness, not continuing their journey.
Wine Crazy Man and Ancient Songzi’s expressions were quite tense, both of them tensed up and stared at Kong Lan You as if they were enemies.
Although it was said that Empress Chi Yao was ruthless, but the Ming Tang Sacred Ancestor was also fiercely renowned.
Why would a great person like her step in to save Zhang Ruochen if she had nothing to gain?
“Most likely, she is hitting on the idea of the treasures on Zhang Ruochen’s body.”Gu Songzi whispered to Wine Crazy and transmitted his voice, guessing so.
Wine Crazy’s face changed as he transmitted, “Could it be that she knows that the formula for the Six Sacred Ascension Wine is in Zhang Ruochen’s hands?”
“Most likely, she is playing with the Thousand Leaf Sacred Core Grass. ” Gu Songzi transmitted his voice.
In the eyes of the two of them, nothing was more precious than the Six Sacred Ascending Heavenly Wine’s formula and the Thousand Leaf Sacred Core Grass, and while discussing it, they even argued.
“It must be the Six Sacred Ascending Heavenly Wine’s formula, with her cultivation, she can’t even look at the Thousand Leaf Sacred Core Grass.”
“Impossible, the Thousand Leaf Sacred Core Grass is a 100,000 year old sacred medicine, even a Great Saint would be moved, she wouldn’t be able to look at it?”
……
Seeing Kong Lanyou walking over, the Wine Crazy Man and Gu Songzi hurriedly stopped arguing, and both of their faces turned a little pale.
“Actually, old me is not familiar with Zhang Ruochen at all, if Saint Ancestor wants the treasures on Zhang Ruochen, just go ahead and take them …… Just leave him alive.”The Wine Crazy Man bowed to Kong Lanyou and laughed sardonically.
“The two of us know nothing and saw nothing.”
After saying this, Gu Song Zi was afraid that Kong Lan You would kill and silence him, and hurriedly pulled the wine lunatic and immediately walked towards the distance.
Kong Lanyou stared at the two old men with some suspicion, and quickly withdrew his gaze and walked to Zhang Ruochen.
Looking at the injuries on Zhang Ruochen’s body, as well as a pair of wooden eyes, Kong Lanyou was the one whose heart ached as she stretched out her crystal clear fingers and gently stroked the wounds on Zhang Ruochen’s body.
She bit her lips tightly, tears flowing from her eyes, her fingers trembling as if she could feel the pain on Zhang Ruochen’s body and the suffering in his heart.
“Don’t pull me, we can’t leave Zhang Ruochen behind. That kid is quite pitiful, let’s fight to the death to save his life.”Wine Crazy Man said.
Gu Songzi said, “That’s the Sacred Ancestor of Mingtang, in front of her, even Wang Shiqi, the Fighting Heavenly King, and the King of Slaying the End wouldn’t dare to say a word more, so who the hell are we? Protect it, definitely. The problem is that we can’t protect ourselves, so we’d better hurry up and escape!”
“Cousin, you’ve suffered!”
Hearing these words, both the Wine Crazy Man and Ancient Songzi were shaken, their mouths open wide as if they were petrified.
“Cousin?’
It was only after a long time that the two old men blinked their eyes and turned around to look towards Kong Lanyou and Zhang Ruochen.
Only to see that the stunningly beautiful Ming Tang Sacred Ancestor was actually hugging Zhang Ruochen tightly, as if she was a young girl, sobbing and shedding tears, extremely sad.
The eyes of the Wine Crazy Man and Ancient Songzi were about to fall to the ground, and their throats felt as if they were being pinched, unable to speak for half a day.
In the Imperial City, the Ming Tang Sacred Ancestor, who killed people at the drop of a hat, was actually hugging Zhang Ruochen and calling him his cousin?
Gu Songzi used his arm to pestle and mortar the wine madman, his lips moved, and whispered, “Could it be that Ming Tang Sacred Ancestor’s kung fu practice had gone off the rails, and had become delirious, recognising Zhang Ruochen as her cousin?”
The Wine Crazy Man rubbed his eyes and said very seriously, “It’s very likely.”
“Good thing, in that case, we do have a chance to save Zhang Ruochen. I have a strategy that we can try.”
Gu Songzi took a deep breath and had to fight once in order to save Zhang Ruochen. He gently stroked his beard, a wise look appearing in his eyes as he took a calm step and walked over, appearing beside Zhang Ruochen and Kong Lanyou, and laughed, “In fact, old man is Zhang Ruochen’s grandfather, so you two juniors don’t have to be so sad.”
Kong Lanyou’s face, raised from Zhang Ruochen’s chest, contained tears and stared at Gu Songzi.
Because of the tears in Kong Lanyou’s eyes, Gu Songzi couldn’t see her eyes and revealed a kind smile, nodded to her and continued, “That’s right, I am your grandfather.”
