The Divine Demon Mouse recounted the recent events in the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect in detail, and while speaking, he also howled, “Master Dust, Ah Le died a horrible death, his head was shattered by Autumn Rain, and his skull was burnt to the point that it bubbled up.”
Zhang Ruochen remained calm, however, after listening, the wine madman was furious and reached out a hand to grab the Divine Demon Mouse, “A Saint, at the General Altar, being killed by an outsider, is simply slapping the Moon Worshipping Divine Sect’s face. What does Shi Qianjie, this sect master, do?”
The Divine Demon Mouse only felt that all of his holy qi was suppressed and unable to function, and his heart was startled, “My cultivation, which has also reached the holy realm, is still quite a formidable species of the Swift Ancient Remnant, and I’m actually being completely suppressed, with no power to fight back. This old drunkard’s cultivation, it’s too terrifying, isn’t it?”
It was presumably one of the seniors of the Divine Sect.
The Divine Demon Mouse’s cultivation was strong, but his guts weren’t too big, and he said in a trembling voice, “Qiu Yu is the seedling of the Sycamore Divine Tree, and in the future, he will have the chance to metamorphose into a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root, and become the second God of the Kunlun Realm. Befriending him will allow for endless benefits. Even the Sect Master wouldn’t turn against him, against the entire Fire Nation, because of a Saint.”
Gu Songzi had long since separated from the Demon Sect, however, he had deep feelings for the Demon Sect, his eyes were a little chilly as he said, “When the previous Sect Leader was in power, how strong was the Divine Sect, even when faced with the armies of the Central Empire of Chiqing, he met them straight on, and would never compromise half of the time. At the general altar, killing a holy man of the Divine Religion and marrying a holy woman to him, not to mention that he hasn’t become a god yet, even if he reaches the god realm, he definitely can’t agree to it. The majesty of the Divine Religion must not be lost.”
When the Divine Demon Mouse saw the two old guys were so furious, he was a bit puzzled, shouldn’t the person who was most furious be Zhang Ruochen?
However, Zhang Ruochen was in an ancient and unperturbed state and started drinking again.
The Divine Demon Mouse said, ”Master Dust, you won’t ignore this matter, right? You have to know that the Little Holy Maiden’s favourite person is you, letting her marry someone else is undoubtedly forcing her to die. You wouldn’t be unaware of her feelings for you, would you?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Little Black told you to say that? What else did it tell you to say?”
The Divine Demon Mouse didn’t expect Zhang Ruochen’s eyesight to be so venomous, and tossed his lips as he whispered, “Master Black also said that the promise you owe must be repaid after all.”
“The promise owed ……”
Zhang Ruochen recited such a sentence, and in his mind, images emerged.
In the Two Element Sect, Mu Lingshi had wept when she told him the story of Luo Xu and Lin Suxian, “I just want you to know that if there is that day when the Sect Leader marries me to someone else as well, how much I hope that there is that one person who will also be able to righteously kill the Peakless Mountain. If he really does that, even if he wants me to die immediately, I would still be willing.”
???”Zhang Ruochen, do you know? The Holy Maiden of the Divine Sect is merely a tool used by the Sect Master to buy people’s hearts, and could be rewarded at any time to a Saint who has made great contributions to the Divine Sect.”
“Don’t be afraid, if that day really comes, you must believe that there will definitely be someone who will ascend the Peakless Mountain and personally go to receive you. Even if, the Demon Sect has a thousand armies, they won’t be able to stop him.”
……
At the top of the cliff in the netherworld, Mu Lingshi sprawled on the ground with her hair in disarray, thinking that Zhang Ruochen had already died, “Since, you’re already dead, what’s the point of me living?”
……
“Senior Sister Duanmu, what are you doing?”
“Where did you go just now? I thought ……”
“In the future, don’t do anything stupid again, if I come back a little late, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
“As long as you are alive, I will absolutely not do anything stupid.”
……
?”The people of the Wood Family, they dislike you a lot?”
“Please, if those old guys liked me, they wouldn’t have sent me to sneak into the Martial City Academy. That’s how dangerous it is, once your identity is revealed, you should know better than me what will happen.”
……
Thinking about this, a rather complicated look appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes as he mumbled to himself, “A promise owed is naturally something that has to be repaid.”
The days of peace and happiness could not continue after all.
Whether it was for the sake of Mu Lingshi or for the sake of Ah Le, Zhang Ruochen had to make a trip to the Demon Sect’s General Altar and personally ascend the Peakless Mountain to ask for a statement and return a promise.
If it wasn’t for Ah Le, Zhang Ruochen’s mother would have already been killed by Zhang Tiangui, how could she have survived until now?
Back then, it was Ah Le who, with one person and one sword, brought Princess Lin and killed her way out of the Yunwu County Kingdom’s royal palace, saving her life.
Ah Le was a desperate swordsman who had been deeply wounded by love, and a desperate swordsman who had long forgotten life and death, in his life, apart from his sword, he only had one friend, Zhang Ruochen.
A true friend, even if you don’t see him for 10,000 years, when your friend needs him, he will definitely go to the mountain of swords and the sea of fire, even if he dies.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t have many friends, but now, Ah Le had been beaten to death without a whole body, even if his face acted calmly, his heart was already filled with a murderous aura.
Receiving Zhang Ruochen’s affirmative reply, the Divine Demon Mouse’s heart was overjoyed, saying, “Great! With Master Dust and Master Black stepping in, the Little Saintess is saved!”
Zhang Ruochen glanced at him obliquely and said, “Where exactly is Little Black?”
“Master Black said that it would step in at the most crucial moment and sweep away all powerful enemies with a strong stance.”The Divine Demon Mouse said with great excitement.
Zhang Ruochen naturally wouldn’t pin his hopes on Little Black, if it was truly capable of sweeping away everything, with its relationship with Mu Lingshi, it would have already ascended the Peakless Mountain and taken Mu Lingshi away, so how could it possibly let the Divine Demon Mouse come to him?
The Wine Crazy Man blew his moustache and glared with rage, saying, “Zhang Ruochen, I’ll accompany you to the Peakless Mountain, those little brats in the Divine Sect are getting more and more disappointing, it’s time to teach them a lesson.”
Zhang Ruochen looked at the problem more profoundly than the wine madman and said, “It’s useless for you to go, you’ll only cause me trouble. It’s better to stay in the Yunwu County Kingdom and continue refining the Six Sacred Ascending Heavenly Wine.”
“With my cultivation, I would cause you trouble?”The wine madman roared.
Gu Songzi walked over and said solemnly, “Zhang Ruochen is right, it’s useless for you to go. Do you think that the Divine Church will turn against the Fire Clan and the Sycamore God Tree because of you? It’s not certain that the Divine Church would even step in to capture you and force my whereabouts from your mouth.”
“Shi Qianjie is a supreme male lord, with a high cultivation level, a deep state of mind, and a great ambition that is beyond what you and I can imagine. How can your fellowship with his master and brother be compared to the value of the Sacred Transformation Pill?”
The Wine Crazy Man also calmed down and said, “You know just as well as I do how powerful the Divine Sect is, is it possible to just let Zhang Ruochen go alone? Isn’t this letting him go to his death?”
“Zhang Ruochen is more than ten times smarter than you, how could he possibly go and send himself to death?”
Gu Songzi shook his head at the wine madman, that is, he took out three yellow talismans from his body and handed them to Zhang Ruochen, saying, “Old me’s attainments in formations are quite shallow. However, I still have some confidence in my attainments above the talisman path. These three talismans are enough to save your life three times, so be sure to use them carefully.”
Zhang Ruochen knew in his heart that Gu Songzi was very cunning and was unwilling to watch the wine madman go into danger, which was why he said those words.
In reality, in Gu Songzi’s heart, he mostly also thought that Zhang Ruochen’s trip would be as dangerous as hitting a stone with an egg.
Gu Songzi was able to survive until now precisely because of this caution on his part.
It was Zhang Ruochen’s own business, so there was no need to drag them to risk their lives. For Gu Songzi to be able to give Zhang Ruochen three precious protective talismans was already benevolent.
“Many thanks.”
Zhang Ruochen did not push back and put away the three protective talismans.
Only after bidding farewell to Zhang Shaochu and Zhang Yuxi did Zhang Ruochen go to the Central Region with the Divine Demon Mouse, stepping into the territory of the First Central Imperial City once again.
Another two days passed before they finally reached the Copper Furnace Plain, and standing above the endless wilderness, the outline of a lofty mountain could be seen appearing on the horizon.
“That’s the Peakless Mountain.”The Divine Demon Mouse said.
The body of the Peakless Mountain was incomparably huge, not like a mountain, but rather like a plateau. Ordinary cultivators had no idea where the summit of the Peakless Mountain was, nor did they know how long the circumference of the Peakless Mountain was.
Only cultivators with extremely advanced realms, standing tens of thousands of miles away, could see the outline of the Peakless Mountain with their extraordinary eyesight.
The Divine Demon Mouse followed behind Zhang Ruochen and said, “Master Dust, we’re just going straight to the General Altar?”
“Hmm.”Zhang Ruochen said.
The Divine Demon Mouse swallowed a mouthful of saliva and added, “Why don’t we wait until the night, I know a secret passageway that allows us to enter the Peerless Mountain silently and without a sound.”
Zhang Ruochen took a sip of wine and said, “Could it be that with your status in the Divine Sect, you can’t bring someone into Peerless Mountain?”
“Master Dust, please spare me! I still want to stay on in the Divine Sect and continue to work for you and Master Black …… I’m loyal and don’t want to die yet ……”
The Divine Demon Mouse knelt on the ground and begged, staring at Zhang Ruochen with pitiful eyes.
“Alright! I won’t make things difficult for you, I’ll find another person to lead the way for me.”
Zhang Ruochen waved his hand, signalling that the Divine Demon Mouse could leave.
“Many thanks, Master Dust.”
The Divine Demon Mouse was like an amnesty and immediately burrowed into the ground, disappearing within Zhang Ruochen’s senses and disappearing into the Peakless Mountain first.
……
Under the Peakless Mountain, there was a city named Moon Worshipping City.
This place was once a bazaar where the disciples of the Devil Sect traded pills and weapons with each other, and with the development of tens of thousands of years, gradually, it was turned into a city.
“Senior sister Qi, long time no see.”
In the Moon Worshipping City, Qi Fayu had originally come to purchase a type of elixir when she suddenly heard this voice, and her heart was slightly startled. Immediately turning around, she looked towards the inside of a wine shop on the opposite side of the street and saw a back that was both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.
That person’s hair was dishevelled and he was dressed plainly, yet, it caused her a great deal of pressure.
Qi Fayu was the daughter of the Sacred Maiden Palace’s Vice Palace Master, Lin Suxian, who had once trained in the Two Elemental Sect, and had some friendship and grudges with Zhang Ruochen, who had taken on the guise of “Lin Yue”. At the same time, Lin Fei Yu was also a Holy Daughter of the Devil Sect, with extremely high natural talent.
“You are …… Lin Yue, no, you are Zhang Ruochen ……”
Qi Fayu’s pair of beautiful eyes revealed a look of surprise, it was hard to believe that Zhang Ruochen would appear here.
Zhang Ruochen turned around and looked towards her, saying, “Senior Sister Qi even remembers my voice, then, you should know the purpose of my coming here, right? I’m going to the Demon Sect’s General Altar, Senior Sister, lead the way!”
At this moment, Qi Fayu was surprised to realise that all the Devil Sect cultivators around her had disappeared, leaving only her and Zhang Ruochen alone, and it was obvious that she was pulled into the spatial realm by Zhang Ruochen.
Not to mention escaping, even if she cried out for help, it was impossible for anyone to hear her.
At this moment, for Zhang Ruochen to kill her was as easy as pinching out an ant, not allowing her to resist or refuse.
