Han Chu’s eyes sank, and a dark power surged out from his delicate body, saying, “In your eyes, I can only be your subordinate or subject? You should understand what I want. As long as you promise me, in the future, I can do anything for you.”
Zhang Ruochen said without slowing down, “Members of the Dragon Protector Pavilion have a great deal of autonomy. In principle, they are not considered to be my subordinates, but rather guardians of me and my offspring, and can refuse some of my orders as long as you wish, and you don’t even need to bow to me. When you are not summoned, you are free men. As long as you are able to become the Pavilion Master of the Dragon Protector Pavilion, you and I are equals. Of course, when my offspring and I need you, you however must appear at the first opportunity.”
“So what? What I want is ……”
Han Chu paused, his eyes gradually becoming softer, then he pursed his lips and smiled, “Guardian right? Fine, I can still promise you.”
The reason why Han Chu immediately changed her words was because, as Huang Yichen had already broken with Zhang Ruochen, now, was her best chance.
If, she didn’t stay by Zhang Ruochen’s side now, and waited until another woman appeared, it might be another woman who took Huang Yichen’s place.
For example, that little Holy Maiden of the Devil Sect.
Only if Zhang Ruochen realised her value and could no longer stay away from her, then would the position of the Crown Princess still be far away?
What kind of Mu Lingxi, what kind of Demon Sect’s Little Holy Maiden, would they be able to compete with her?
Han Chu’s eyes blinked and said, “It is said that on the seventh day of the first month next month, you are going to ascend the Peakless Mountain to pick up Mu Lingshi in order to return a promise owed to her?”
“That’s right.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Han Chu said, “If you want me to join the Dragon Protector Pavilion and become a guardian of the Imperial Clan, you must also give me a promise.”
“What promise?”Zhang Ruochen asked.
The pair of full and elastic peaks on Han Chu’s chest pressed against Zhang Ruochen’s chest, raising a pair of beautiful eyes and staring at Zhang Ruochen’s face from a close distance, she said, “If, my ability, passes the Pavilion Master of the Dragon Protector Pavilion. At that time, I will not only be the Pavilion Master, but also a member of the Imperial Clan. You should understand what I mean, right?”
“If you can really go that far, you are naturally qualified to become a member of the royal family. I promise you.”Zhang Ruochen said.
A delighted look appeared in Han Chu’s eyes as he said, “Good, with your words, I can go all out to help you in whatever you do in the future. You have to understand that the person who loves you the most is definitely me. As long as you treat me well, I definitely won’t betray you like Huang Smokey. Therefore, the Imperial Palace of the Saint Bright Central Empire must have a place for me in the future. On the seventh day of next month, you will have to deal with the Fire Nation and the Demon Cult, it’s a tough battle. However, I have a way to make half of the Fire Race die before then.”
A cold, craggy light flashed in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes as he said, “What method?”
Han Chu said, “Half a year ago, Fengdu Ghost City was attacked by the Fire Nation, and almost all of the Yin soldiers and ghosts were suppressed, even the Lord of the Ghost City, the Divine Primordial Ghost King, was suppressed. At that time, I was also in the Fengdu Ghost City and saw the Divine Primordial Ghost King being captured with my own eyes.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “When I was in the netherworld, the Divine Primordial Ghost King had already reached the peak of the Sixth Ghost King and was preparing to cross the Seventh Ghost Tribulation. It can be said that it is the most powerful batch of powerhouses under the Great Saints. The Fire Nation was actually able to suppress it, its strength is really daunting.”
“In order to suppress the Divine Primordial Ghost King, the Fire Nation used a supreme saint artefact, the Sacred Refining Furnace.”Han Chu said.
Zhang Ruochen said, “The Fire Race has even grasped a Supreme Saint Artifact as well, that’s really something, no wonder it’s so high-profile.”
Han Chu continued, “As far as I know, the Divine Primordial Ghost King is imprisoned in the Fire Race’s territory, the Fire Realm. As long as it is released, the entire Fire Realm will definitely be in great turmoil. It would be normal for the Fire Race to die even if half of them died, wouldn’t it?”
Zhang Ruochen was a bit curious and said, “Since the Fire Race holds the Sacred Refining Furnace, why didn’t they refine the Divine Primordial Ghost King?”
“From what I have probed within the Fire Race, it is said that the Divine Primordial Ghost King is a wisp of God’s residual soul that has cultivated into the current Sixth Tribulation Ghost King. Precisely, it is much more powerful than any ordinary Sixth Tribulation Ghost King, strong enough to briefly fight against a Great Saint. The Fire Nation’s purpose for imprisoning it was because they wanted to study the secret of becoming a god from its body.”Han Chu said with some complacency.
Coming to meet Zhang Ruochen, Han Chu had naturally made full preparations, and sending the great gift of the Divine Primordial Ghost King was to let Zhang Ruochen know that she, Han Chu, was different from those other women, and was someone who could truly help him.
Zhang Ruochen thought carefully and said, “An existence like the Divine Primordial Ghost King, the Fire Nation will definitely guard it closely. You were able to release it?”
“For your sake, even if it’s dangerous, I will definitely do it. Besides, with my Darkness Body and the Way of Darkness, I am able to open the gates of the Netherworld and walk in both the Yin and Yang realms. With my abilities, I have at least a 30% chance of successfully releasing the Divine Primordial Ghost King.”Han Chu said.
“With only a 30% chance, you dare to take the risk? Do you know what will happen once you fail?”
Zhang Ruochen always did things steadily and never fought battles he wasn’t sure of.
A 30% chance was still too low.
Han Chu smiled evilly, “Chance does not lie in how much, but in being able to grasp it. Even if there is only a 10% chance, once grasped, isn’t it the same as being able to succeed?”
“Wait a little longer, when that person comes, let him accompany you to do it, perhaps the chance of success can reach 60% to 70%.”Zhang Ruochen looked at the sky, revealing a look of anticipation.
Han Chu didn’t know who “that person” Zhang Ruochen was talking about, but it was definitely a big shot.
On the seventh day of next month, fighting against the Demon Sect and the Fire Race at the same time, as well as a large number of powerful people from the imperial court, was indeed a strenuous task.
If the Fire Race could be heavily defeated before then, Zhang Ruochen’s pressure would indeed become less.
Moreover, he could also take this opportunity to test how strong the Fire Nation was? How deep was its depth? Was there a Great Saint level character?
Next, Zhang Ruochen summoned all those old Saint Ming ministries out of the Qian Kun Realm, and all of them once again assembled outside the Xuan Yuan Hall.
Zhang Ruochen said, ”That world is called the Qian Kun Realm. Tomorrow, Sacred Ming City will definitely be subjected to a frantic counterattack from the First Central Empire, so it would be best for everyone to bring their clansmen and move into the Qian Kun Realm. In the Qian Kun Realm, everyone can re-establish their clans, clans, and cities, and all of the spiritual mountains and treasure lands are all open to everyone.”
Someone revealed an incredulous look and asked, “Really? All the clans can move into the Qiankun Realm?”
“That’s right.”Zhang Ruochen said.
The Cai Clan’s family head was a little anxious, saying, “But our Cai Clan is a large family, with more than 100 million clansmen in the direct and collateral lines combined, and they are spread across all the major prefectures in the Tiantai Prefecture, so I’m afraid that it won’t be possible to gather them all in an instant.”
“That’s right, our Yan Family’s clansmen are also spread all over the place.”
……
Zhang Ruochen said, “There’s no need to be in such a hurry, for the next half a month, everyone should hurry back to organise and make arrangements to gather all the clansmen together. This Crown Prince will travel to all parts of the world and access them all into the Qiankun Realm. Of course, everyone’s degree should be fast, if the assembly is not completed within half a month, we can only meet again on the seventh day of the next month, at Peakless Mountain.”
All the great masters and leaders of the organisations immediately rushed out and began arranging for their clansmen to enter the Qian Kun Realm. At the same time, they also shot a summoning light talisman out, flying towards the major state capitals.
The World Gate of the Qiankun Realm stood outside the Xuan Yuan Hall, and a dense number of cultivators went forward and entered the gate, stepping into that brand new heaven and earth.
Zhang Ruochen arranged for Princess Baili to take charge of the order in the Qiankun Realm, and then, it was only with King Ming Jiang that he travelled towards the middle of the Shrine of the Emperors.
“You actually trust this king so much, aren’t you afraid that this king will kill you in the middle of the Shrine of the Emperors?”King Ming Jiang carried his hands behind his back, a cold look appearing in his eyes.
Zhang Ruochen looked bashful as he said, “If Twelfth Imperial Uncle kills me, will the Sacred Minds of the Ancestors spare you? I’m afraid that those old parts of the Sacred Minds outside are not something that Twelfth Imperial Uncle would be able to suppress either.”
The cold colour in King Ming Jiang’s eyes disappeared, revealing a soft smile, “Haha! Well, couldn’t scare you. Grown up! You’ve really grown up! You can hold up a piece of heaven and earth! With this battle at the Lingxiao Heavenly King’s Mansion, your position in the hearts of the old Saint Ming clan is much higher than that of me, the Imperial Uncle. Just a moment ago, the Hall Master of the Hall of Brightness actually took the initiative to come see me.”
“What do they mean?”Zhang Ruochen asked.
King Ming Jiang laughed, “Obviously, they were also shocked by this battle, and they actually wanted to be introduced through me and then pay you a personal visit.”
“And then, you rejected them?”Zhang Ruochen said.
King Ming Jiang nodded and let out a cold smile, “When they attacked the Lingxiao Heavenly King’s Mansion, they had been hiding in the shadows and didn’t make a move. Such people naturally cannot be allowed to enter the Qiankun Realm, much less be allowed to rejoin the Sacred Ming Central Empire.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “On the seventh day of next month, there will be another chance, so let’s see if they can grasp it.”
No matter what, for the sake of Kong Lanyou’s affection, as long as Ming Tang was willing to experience a life and death battle side by side with Zhang Ruochen, Zhang Ruochen was completely fine with accepting them.
Tomorrow, both the Qiankun Realm and the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood would no longer be a secret, and would surely spread throughout the Kunlun Realm.
Next, it was up to them to choose?
Zhang Ruochen and King Ming Jiang walked into the Sacred Mountain and stood underneath the spirit seats of the ancestors, both of them gazing reverently as they bowed and saluted.
Afterwards, Zhang Ruochen’s gaze was locked onto the coffin below the altar, his eyes becoming more and more sullen.
King Ming Jiang also spotted the coffin, revealing a strange expression, “Whose coffin, how did it get placed in the Shrine of the Emperors? Who put it in?”
“Perhaps the only way to know the real answer is to open it up as well.”
Zhang Ruochen reached forward and grabbed it, and a wave of holy qi surged out, wrapping around the coffin and dragging it slowly out from the depths of the holy light.
Seeing the word “Dust” on the head of the coffin, King Ming Jiang’s eyes, furiously shrunk, “Imperial brother’s handwriting, it’s actually that of an Imperial brother.”
“Father.”
Zhang Ruochen’s mind fluctuated and became bigger and bigger, there was doubt, anticipation, excitement, and some fear.
