The words that Zhang Ruochen uttered were just too shocking, to the point of wanting to destroy the Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion.
The Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion was sitting in Shengming City, and not only was it able to suppress both the Ming Jiang King and the Ming Tang, but it was also able to check and balance the black market, the Demon Cult, the Blood God Cult …… and other evil forces, so how terrifying was its strength. How can it be destroyed just by saying so?
The Lingxiao Heavenly King’s House was a sharp blade used by the imperial court to deal with the remnants of the Sacred Ming Central Empire, and it could use bloody means to decimate them.
It could be said that in the eyes of King Ming Jiang, Bai Su, Yan Kaixuan, and the others, the person they hated, hated, and wanted to kill the most had always been the Ling Xiao Heavenly King.
Chi Yao could only come in second place.
Of course, whether it was the Ling Xiao Heavenly King or Chi Yao, their cultivation levels were too powerful, and it was simply not something they could fight against. Under the pursuit and purging of the Ling Xiao Heavenly King, it was already quite remarkable that they were able to survive until now.
Qin Yutong sent Zhang Ruochen back to his cultivation mansion, her heart struggling to calm down as she stared at the handsome, upright, and cold figure walking ahead, and in the end, she couldn’t help but ask, “Your Highness, are you really going to attack the Ling Xiao Heavenly King’s Mansion?”?
“What?”Zhang Ruochen asked.
Qin Yutong said, “I want to join the battle.”
Zhang Ruochen stopped and turned around, staring at her charming and soulful eyes. To be able to be called the number one beauty of Sacred Brightness City, Qin Yutong’s appearance was naturally impeccable.
“Even the Twelve Royal Clans fell silent when they heard that statement of mine, clearly not believing that this Crown Prince is capable of destroying the Lingxiao Heavenly King’s Mansion. Your cultivation is not even close to the Saint realm, how dare you join the battle?”Zhang Ruochen said.
Qin Yutong kneeled down on one knee and raised a stunningly beautiful face as she said, “Even if I have to die nine deaths, I still want to participate in the battle. I don’t want to continue to hide anymore, nor do I want to offer a dance for my enemies, I only want to take revenge, for my parents, and also for my grandfather. Please, Your Highness, make it happen.”
Seeing that her eyes were very determined, Zhang Ruochen contemplated for a moment and took out a Sacred Source and a 10,000 year old Sacred Pill from inside his spatial ring and threw it to her.
“Within ten days, if you are able to break through to the Saint realm, this Prince will allow you to participate in the battle.”
“Many thanks, Your Highness, many thanks for the reward.”
Qin Yutong’s snow-white shell teeth, gently biting her red lips, a rippling lustre flowed out of her beautiful eyes, and when she raised her head again, Zhang Ruochen’s silhouette had already disappeared at the end of the corridor.
It had to be said that this Crown Prince was simply too charismatic, not only was he handsome, but he was also extremely gifted and bold, with both a strong side and sometimes some melancholy.
“I must cultivate hard and never let His Highness down.”
In Qin Yutong’s heart, she secretly vowed.
In the Lakeshine Palace building, the saints gradually calmed down, all of them pondering what kind of cards Zhang Ruochen had that he claimed to be able to destroy the Lingxiao Heavenly King’s Mansion.
“The Dragon Protector Pavilion …… must be the Dragon Protector Pavilion ……”
King Ming Jiang’s mouth recited this sentence.
Yan Kaixuan said, “The Dragon Protector Pavilion has always been nothing but a legend, no one has ever seen them, it’s impossible to say for sure, it’s simply an organisation that’s not true.”
King Ming Jiang shook his head and said, “The Dragon Protector Pavilion is most likely real. At the time when the imperial brother disappeared, the two Protector Totems and the Spirit Ancestor of Zhen Guo, both disappeared at the same time. This king suspects that they are members of the Dragon Protector Pavilion.”
The totem of the Sacred Brightness Central Empire was a golden geibeast.
Legend had it that the mount of the Zhang Clan’s originator, the Immovable King of Brightness, was a golden geibi.
Only the direct members of the royal family knew that eight hundred years ago, there were still two golden geibeys guarding the Sacred Ming Central Empire, which were the descendants of the golden geibeys that had lived for tens of thousands of years.
Truly powerful divine beast descendants and ancient relics, their lifespans were far from humans, and even if they lived for tens of thousands of years, they might not die.
The Zhen Guo Spiritual Ancestor, on the other hand, was a plant that had been guarding the Zhang Clan since the Middle Ages, or even further back.
Of course, the Zhen Guo Spirit Ancestor was a legend, and it was difficult to prove that it was real. This was because, according to the legend, only after the Ming Emperor of each generation succeeded to the throne, could he go and pay his respects to it.
Only the Ming Emperor of each generation would know if the Zhen Guo Spiritual Ancestor was real or not.
King Ming Jiang had also gone through some ancient family books and now, every time the Zhang Family encountered a great calamity, a mysterious and unpredictable force would appear to help resolve the calamity. Thus, even during the great upheaval at the end of the Middle Ages, the Zhang Family had not been destroyed.
That mysterious power was sometimes a flower petal that descended from the sky, sheltering the Zhang Clan’s clansmen below; sometimes, it was a root that rushed out from the ground, killing the powerful enemies that dealt with the Zhang Clan.
Therefore, King Ming Jiang suspected that the mysterious force was most likely the Zhen Guo Spirit Ancestor.
Wang Silence was somewhat moved and said, “In case Zhang Ruochen really recalls the members of the Dragon Protector Pavilion in teleportation and destroys the Lingxiao Heavenly King’s Mansion. What should we do?”
“If, indeed, he is able to exterminate the Ling Xiao Heavenly King’s Mansion, he will also be qualified to be the Crown Prince of the Sacred Brightness Central Empire.”King Ming Jiang said.
……
For the next two days, Zhang Ruochen had been going all out to cultivate and impact the Thoroughfare Realm.
The cultivation level of the Xuan Huang Realm was still a bit too low, and he could still cope with ordinary True Saints, but when he encountered a powerhouse amongst the True Saints, I was afraid that it wouldn’t be an easy task if he wanted to win.
Although it was said that Zhang Ruochen had only used three swords to defeat Mu Kengtian, however, that was using the Seven Swords and the Time Sword Technique, having gone all out.
At full strength, he had only beheaded Mu Kengtian’s crown, not his head.
From this, it could be seen that wanting to defeat a True Saint Late Stage figure was by no means as simple as it appeared to outsiders.
What’s more, above the late True Saint stage, there was the peak True Saint realm.
“It really is as difficult as heaven to break through every realm of a Saint. It’s no wonder that with Ling Fei Yu’s natural talent, he also cultivated at the Saint realm for three hundred years before breaking through to become a Saint King. Which one of Eldest Senior Brother, Pei Yutian, and Stuart Fengcheng is not a first-class heavenly pride, yet, after cultivating for a hundred years, they are also all still at the Passing Sky Realm and have not been able to break through to the True Saint Realm.”
The further back he went, Zhang Ruochen felt that every breakthrough to a realm was like climbing a high mountain, and it was simply not something that could be broken through overnight.
I’m afraid that only the Nine Great Realm Sons could raise their cultivation realms quickly. This was because, at the Half-Saint realm, they had received unimaginable cultivation from ordinary people, consuming a great deal of the Kunlun Realm’s resources.
For Zhang Ruochen to be able to keep up with the cultivation degree of the Nine Great Realm Sons and stay ahead of them was already quite difficult.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power, sensing an icy aura, opened his eyes wide. Only to see that in the cultivation house, right in front of him, there was actually a silhouette standing.
That silhouette, wearing a white robe, every single thread on the robe seemed to be fused with the rules of heaven and earth, like a white waterfall, naturally dropping downwards, radiating a glistening light.
On his face, he was wearing a crystal clear mask that covered his entire face without any holes, including the location of his eyes.
Inside the mask, it was as if there was a starry sky that was both pitch black and deep, yet scattered grains of light.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen open his eyes and present him, it was only then that the man gently nodded and said, “Deputy Master of the Dragon Protector Pavilion Sky Dipper Pavilion, meet Your Highness the Crown Prince.”
Zhang Ruochen maintained his composure without a hint of panic and said, “How long did you arrive here?”
“Have been waiting in front of Your Highness for three hours.”A misty, hoarse voice came out from beneath the mask.
Zhang Ruochen sucked in a breath of cool air, the other party had been standing in front of him for three hours, and with the strength of his spiritual power, he was unaware of it.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Where’s Zhao Biao?”
“Zhao Zhen and the other Heavenly Deities are waiting outside.”
The tone of the Deputy Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Dipper Pavilion was smooth and without any emotion, neither appearing to be inferior to Zhang Ruochen, but at the same time, there was also respect for Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen knew that the identity of the Dragon Protector Pavilion’s Pavilion Master was very special, thus, he did not care about this.
“All outside?”
Zhang Ruochen’s Spiritual Force did not detect Zhao Zhen’s aura at all, and slightly surprised, he stood up, walked over to the window, and looked outside.
Under the moonlight, there were indeed silhouettes standing, all of them wearing waterfall-like white robes and starry sky-like masks. Some stood on the streets, some stood on top of the halls, and some were suspended in midair.
However, the cultivators in the Phoenix Dance Pavilion were as if they were invisible to them, treating them as air, it was really quite bizarre.
“It should be the white robes and masks they are wearing that have the magical power to avoid the spiritual power and holy senses of the cultivators.”Zhang Ruochen said in his heart.
There were a total of thirty-four white silhouettes that stood on all sides of the house, as if they were stars arching over the moon.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen push open the window, all the members of the Dragon Protector Pavilion, all bowed and saluted, “Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince.”
Zhang Ruochen resumed staring at that Heavenly Dipper Pavilion’s Vice Master, saying, “Heavenly Dipper Pavilion’s Master, why didn’t he come in person?”
“Could it be that Your Highness doesn’t know where the Pavilion Master is going?”The Deputy Pavilion Master said.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed slightly as he said, “Why would this Prince know?”
“The Blood Clan Secret Scroll was handed over to Your Highness by the Pavilion Master, Your Highness should have met with the Pavilion Master.”The Deputy Pavilion Master said.
“The ‘Blood Clan Secret Scrolls’ …… Pavilion Master …… Tai Shang Elder, Yan Li Ren. He is the Pavilion Master of the Dragon Protector Pavilion?”
Zhang Ruochen was slightly shocked, and then, realisation dawned on him.
When Yan Li Ren handed the Secret Scrolls of the Blood Race to Zhang Ruochen, he claimed to know the Pavilion Master of the Dragon Protector Pavilion, and got the manuscript of the Secret Scrolls of the Blood Race from the Pavilion Master of the Dragon Protector Pavilion.
At that time, Zhang Ruochen should have been suspicious.
How could the Pavilion Master of the Dragon Protector Pavilion tell someone else about his identity?
The so-called handwritten copy of the Secret Scrolls of the Blood Race was definitely the real thing.
Zhang Ruochen felt incredulous but had to accept this fact and said, “How could the Pavilion Master of the Dragon Protector Pavilion be the Supreme Elder of the Blood God Sect?”
The Deputy Pavilion Master said, “The members of the Dragon Protector Pavilion were originally spread all over the Kunlun Realm, hiding amongst the major forces, some of which, were even the Patriarchs of a major clan. It is only when we receive an edict from the Ming Emperor that we will regroup into the Dragon Protector Pavilion. Only the Ming Emperor of each generation is also qualified to know our identities.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes stared and said, “What about your identity? This Prince should be able to know it, right?”
