The depths of the Absolute Ancient Blood God were filled with mountain peaks, deep valleys, icy skies and snowy lands, a complete white cold world where it was difficult to see human habitation.
The camp of the Spectral Character Heavenly Palace was located at the edge of the Endless Abyss, situated in the Cang Tian Valley.
At the entrance of the valley, there were two ninety-nine-storey high iron towers cast, like two icy peaks standing in the cold wind, adding a bit of lofty atmosphere.
The “Savage Flag King”, the battalion leader of the fifth battalion of the Pixie Character Heavenly Palace, and the “Infinite Flag King”, the battalion leader of the sixth battalion, stood underneath the iron towers on the left and the right. There was a thick aura emanating from their bodies, causing the snowflakes falling from the sky to automatically fly out when they were still ten feet away.
Mei Lanzhu and Shangguan Xianyan had already arrived at the camp of the Pixie Character Heavenly Palace and stood behind the Savage Flag King.
Shangguan Xianyan’s petite jade body was surrounded by nine circles of holy light, and her shapely figure appeared like a shadow, full of a hazy beauty. She said, “We’ve already waited for half an hour, why hasn’t Gu Linfeng reported to the camp?”
“Maybe he met a certain ferocious beast halfway and has already died in the belly of the beast.”At the corner of Mei Lanzhu’s mouth, a cruel smile hung.
The Savage Flag King’s body was as tall as a human-sized iron tower, and he said roughly, “We’d better wait a little longer! Gu Linfeng’s strength isn’t weak, so as long as his luck isn’t too bad, it’s enough to cross the Jiegu Snow Mountain and come to the main camp of the Pixie Character Heavenly Palace.”
The Savage Banner King and the Infinite Banner King had allowed Gu Linfeng, Mei Lanzhu, and Shangguan Xianyan to report to the Pixie Character Heavenly Palace alone, and, in fact, it was also a test for them.
Only a strong person who was able to come and go as they pleased in the Jiegu Snow Mountain would be qualified to become a Flag Lord of the Pixie Word Heavenly Palace. In the future, only then would they be able to lead a team of Psi Character Flagbearers on their own and go out on missions.
If, however, Gu Linfeng died halfway, it could only mean that, with his cultivation, he was not yet strong enough to become the flag master of the Psi Character Heavenly Palace.
After waiting for another half an hour.
Even the Sixth Battalion’s Master, the Limitless Flag King, frowned and said, “Could it be that Gu Linfeng didn’t know the exact location of the Psi Character Heavenly Palace and took the wrong path?”
Mei Lanzhu gently touched his palm and said, “The Jiegu Snow Mountain is so vast, trying to find the camp of the Psi Character Heavenly Palace isn’t an easy task, and it’s normal for him to take the wrong path. If, by mistake, he intrudes into the area where the Endless Abyss is located, that would really be a bit of a pity ……”
In the distance, a silhouette, flew out from the sky full of wind and snow, landing at the mouth of the Cang Heavenly Valley, and smiled aloud, “Many thanks to Your Highness the Divine Son for your concern… Just now, I did indeed take the wrong path, and fortunately, I retreated back in time, and finally managed to locate the main camp of the Phantom Character Heavenly Palace.”
As he got closer and closer, Zhang Ruochen’s figure, which became clearer and clearer, appeared in front of the crowd.
He bowed and said, “Greetings to the two Flag Kings, Your Highness the Divine Son, and Your Highness the Holy Maiden.”?Shangguan Xianyan’s voice, which was very pleasant and melodious, said, “Gu Linfeng, you’re also too late, making us wait for you for two hours in the wind and snow, what a great face!”
“Atonement, atonement, it’s all Linfeng’s sin, to make Your Highness’s Thousand Gold body stand in the cold wind and wait for so long, it’s really an unpardonable sin.”
Zhang Ruochen appeared to be very poised and immediately took out a small and delicate green-flower dan vase from his pocket, handing it over to Shangguan Xianyan and smilingly said, “This is an eighth-grade Pure Marrow Pill, which can help a half-saint comprehend the rules of the Sacred Dao, so please make sure that Your Highness the Holy Maiden accepts it as a gift of atonement from Lin Feng to Your Highness the Holy Maiden.”?The Clear Marrow Pill was one of the most precious pills that Zhang Ruochen had searched out, from Su Bai’s body.
Even a seventh-ranked Half-Saint had brought it with him, thus it was evident that this elixir must be of great help to a Half-Saint’s cultivation.
Zhang Ruochen had a large amount of divine blood at his disposal, and the effect of each drop of divine blood also surpassed that of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, so he didn’t give it a second thought.
Giving it to Shangguan Xianyan would, on the contrary, infuriate Mei Lanzhu.
Of course, Shangguan Xianyan would not be polite and extended a slender jade hand to take the Cyanide Dan vase from Zhang Ruochen’s hand.
Her fingers, each one of them as if they were carved from immortal jade, crystal clear, jade clean and ice-clear, her fingertips traced through Zhang Ruochen’s palm, appearing extraordinarily soft.
“Since you are so heartfelt, this Holy Maiden only has to forgive you once again.”Shangguan Xianyan smiled faintly.
Mei Lanzhu, who was standing next to her, clenched his fists so tightly that he was trembling with anger, and his eyes were as if they were about to spit out flames.
If it wasn’t, for the fact that the Sect Leader had always taught him that he should have the temperament of a Divine Son, I’m afraid that he would have already rushed up and killed Zhang Ruochen with a palm strike.
To make a person with a small temperament must have a large temperament was really a difficult thing to force people to do.
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, stared towards Mei Lanzhu, smiling slightly in his heart, but on the surface, he put on a panicked look, “Oh no, there is only one Pure Marrow Elixir, which was given to Her Highness the Holy Maiden, but was not prepared for His Highness the Divine Son. With Your Highness the Divine Son’s bosom, you shouldn’t blame me, right?”
Mei Lanzhu snorted coldly, “It’s just a mere Clear Marrow Pill, this Divine Son can have as many as he wants, only someone like you, who came from a small place, would treat it as a treasure.”
The Savage Banner King stepped out, stared at the Infinite Banner King, and said, “Since Gu Linfeng has already come to Cangtian Valley, this king will first take the divine Son and Holy Maiden back to the Fifth Battalion.”
With that, the Savage Banner King, Mei Lanzhu, and Shangguan Xianyan, went into the Cangtian Valley first and disappeared into the wind and snow.
On the vast white land, only the Limitless Flag King and Zhang Ruochen remained.
A smile hung on the Infinite Flag King’s face as he said, ”Gu Linfeng, in the future, you will be the Flag Master of the Sixth Battalion of the Phantom Character Heavenly Palace, and will belong to this King’s banner. Let’s go! This King will take you to the Sixth Battalion and meet the rest of the flag lords.”
In the Yu Zi Heavenly Palace, there were a total of six battalions.
For each battalion, there was a Flag King, twelve Flag Masters, and twelve hundred flagmen.
The flag king was the battalion master.
Above the Flag King was the Palace Master and two Vice Palace Masters of the Pixie Character Heavenly Palace. Normally, all the two Deputy Palace Masters would come out to arrange tasks, and the Palace Master rarely appeared.
However, once the Palace Master appeared, something big must have happened.
The Phantom Character Heavenly Palace was known to be the first of the Cross Heavenly Palaces, and although their numbers were sparse, they were all elites amongst the elites, and experts amongst the experts.
Not to mention the flag masters of each battalion, even those flag bearers, after leaving the Psi Character Heavenly Palace, were able to hold a higher position in the sect, or at least become the helmsman of a sub-rudder.
Zhang Ruochen was the newest to join the Psi Character Heavenly Palace and was also the youngest, so he was ranked the lowest amongst the twelve Flag Masters of the sixth battalion.
On the very first day of entering the Pixie Character Heavenly Palace, the Immeasurable Flag King organised a reception banquet for Zhang Ruochen, and a total of seven Flag Lords came to the banquet, as for the other four Flag Lords, they were said to be out on a mission.
The fact that the seven Flag Lords were able to come to the banquet was mostly due to the face of the Immeasurable Flag King, after all, Gu Linfeng was just a young junior, how could he invite them?
The seven Flag Lords were all prestigious older generation figures, and even in the Tiantai Prefecture where there were so many powerful people, they were still known as great evil devils.The one with the weakest cultivation had also reached the realm of a Fourth Order Half Saint.
“Isn’t the Spectral Character Heavenly Palace responsible for guarding the Endless Abyss, what other tasks do they need to perform?”Zhang Ruochen felt curious and asked the doubts in his heart.
The Infinite Flag Lord sat at the topmost position and said, “The Endless Abyss is not a peaceful place, and even at its periphery, there are many dangers. The mission of our Pixie Character Heavenly Palace is to be responsible for removing those dangers.”
Zhang Ruochen remained puzzled, revealing a look of incomprehension.
A one-eyed Flag Lord, laughed loudly, “Flag Lord Gu, you don’t need to know too much right now, since you’ve come to the Phantom Character Heavenly Palace, you’ll naturally have many opportunities to carry out missions in the future. Come, dry this bowl first.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled faintly as he held up a bowl of Sacred Heart Wine, only touching the edge of the bowl with his lips. Afterwards, he poured the Sacred Heart Wine into the spatial ring without actually drinking it.
Sacred Heart Wine, it was said that it was made from the heart of a Half Saint, a fine wine that could help cultivators cultivate.
Such a fine wine …… Zhang Ruochen really couldn’t drink it.
After drinking the receiving wine, Zhang Ruochen returned to the Flag Master’s place of residence and entered a cave that was cut into the top of a cliff wall.
In the cave mansion, there was a stone staircase that stretched all the way down to the ground, and the further down one went, the denser the heaven and earth aura became. At the bottom of the cave, there was a pool of spiritual springs, and in the centre of the pool, there was a ten foot square bed of spiritual crystals.
In the pool of the spiritual spring, a Spirit Gathering Formation was constructed, turning this place into a cultivation treasure.
In the future, this would be Zhang Ruochen’s place of cultivation in the Pixie Character Heavenly Palace, and when there was no mission, there was no need to go out at all.
“The Pixie Character Heavenly Palace treats its Flag Master quite well.”
Zhang Ruochen just turned around in the cave and didn’t stay for long before putting the Meteor Invisibility Clothes on and leaving the camp of the Pixie Character Heavenly Palace.
Tonight, he was going to explore the Endless Abyss.
……
In the Cang Heavenly Valley, in another Flag Lord’s cave.
On Mei Lanzhu’s body, a piercing golden light emanated, and he roared angrily, “What the hell is going on, why didn’t Gu Linfeng die?”
Along with his roar, a powerful holy qi impacted towards Zhao Shiqi, who was half-kneeling on the ground, sending Zhao Shiqi flying backwards and crashing into the top of the stone wall.
“Boom!”
Zhao Shiqi climbed up from the ground, covered his chest, and said, “Your Highness, Divine Son, please listen to my explanation. Old me and Flag Master Su Bai were indeed preparing to intercept Gu Linfeng, but, halfway there, we were attacked by a blood beast.”?”That one blood beast, it was quite powerful, I’m afraid it had already reached the Saint realm. Flag Master Su Bai was unable to escape in time and was swallowed by it in one gulp. Old me also escaped only by using the power of the Saint’s Decree, and was lucky enough to save my life.”
Mei Lanzhu’s face stared as she said suspiciously, “How could a blood beast of the Saint realm escape to the region outside the Endless Abyss?”?Zhao Shiqi sighed, “At that time, the situation was too perilous, and I only wanted to escape immediately and save my life, not daring to think much about anything else at all.”
Mei Lanzhu gritted her teeth and with a bang, she ruthlessly struck a palm on top of the stone wall on the left side of the cave.
By the impact of the palm force, a formation light, gushed out from above the stone wall.
“Count him lucky, let him live for a few more days.”
Mei Lanzhu’s large hand waved, his face grim as he said, “You retreat first!”
After Zhao Shiqi retreated, in a darker corner of the cave, a subtle fluctuation of holy qi emanated, forming a circle of black ripples that spread outwards.
A thin and old silhouette emerged from the darkness.
“What kind of person?”
Mei Lanzhu sensed something and let out a low growl as he turned around abruptly.
At the same time, his hands emitted golden light, and two half a zhang long hand seals coalesced out in front of his palms, sealing towards that one black silhouette.
