When he returned to the camp of the Pixie Character Heavenly Palace and walked into the cave, Zhang Ruochen took out paper and a pen from within the Spatial Realm Sub.
While gazing at his thoughts, he wrote on the paper.
It took an entire night to finish writing a series of four letters, put them into envelopes, and sealed them up.
On top of the envelopes of the four letters, the names of four people were written on them: mother, Huang Yichen, Kong Lanyou, and Chi Yao.
In fact, Zhang Ruochen wanted to write more letters, write to more people, and explain more things.
Only, time was too short, so he could only write to the four most important people first, which were the closest person, the person he should be most responsible for, the person he was most sorry for, and the person he hated and loved the most.
The reason why, he felt most sorry for Kong Lanyou, then because, he cheated her twice in a row, but had to cheat.
After hearing the name “Zhang Ruochen”, only Kong Lanyou personally came to see him, a stranger, and he also approached him twice in a row.
From this, it could be seen how important the name Zhang Ruochen was in her heart.
In fact, there were many things that Zhang Ruochen understood, only that he ultimately chose to escape because of various reasons.
Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath and handed over the four letters, along with the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram, to Little Black, saying, “If I don’t return from the Endless Abyss, help me to send these four letters, to them.”
Xiao Hei took it and said, “The some things you refer to as not having done, is writing a suicide note?”
Zhang Ruochen smiled faintly and said, “Not really! It’s just that I feel that there are some things that I should explain, in case I don’t die in the Endless Abyss, these four letters will naturally lose their effect.”
“In fact, this Emperor thinks that we should spread the secret that there are three gradients in the Endless Abyss, in which case, the Ru Dao and the imperial court will definitely send strong people to investigate the life and death of the Sacred Book Talented Lady, and there’s no need for you to personally go ahead and risk your life.”Little Black said.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “Firstly, if we do that, those who want to kill the Sacred Book Talented Maiden will definitely enter the first echelon first.”
“Secondly, I’m not just going there to investigate the life and death of the Sacred Book Talented Lady, there’s also an even more important matter.”?Little Black asked, “There’s a more important matter?”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes, which were quite deep, said, “Based on some of the information I learned from the Sea Underworld Dharma King, plus, the Undying Blood Clan that I encountered last night in the Endless Abyss, and the death of the Sacred Book Talented Maiden. I finally feel that there seems to be a shocking secret hidden beneath the Endless Abyss. Perhaps, the only way to find the answer is to go down there once more.”
The sky had dawned and it was a new day.
Zhang Ruochen made up his mind to go to the Endless Abyss one more time, just today.
However, he had only just stepped out of the cave when he heard a summons from the Infinite Flag King, asking him to go forward to the entrance of the Cang Tian Valley.
“What exactly is the matter?”
Zhang Ruochen pondered briefly for a moment before unfolding his stance and disappearing into thin air, rushing in the direction of the valley entrance.
The mouth of the Cangtian Valley was an empty snowy field.
At this moment, on the snowy ground, there were one hundred and twenty flag bearers wearing black armour standing neatly, and the flag bearer with the weakest cultivation was also in the great circle of the Heavenly Extremity Realm.
Among them, half of the flagbearers were in the Fish Dragon Realm.
Such an elite army was already enough to exterminate a Half Saint family.
“Wow!”
A pillar of black light, falling from the sky above, condensed into the Infinite Flag King’s Half-Saint doppelgänger, which stood a few dozen feet off the ground.
“Greetings to the Flag King.”
The one hundred and twenty flag bearers below roared at the same time, creating a surging aura.
Zhang Ruochen had also arrived outside the valley and stood not far away, looking at the one hundred and twenty flag bearers and the Infinite Flag King with a puzzled expression.
The Immeasurable Flag King glanced in the direction where Zhang Ruochen was, and then, raised his voice and said, ”To the east of the Endless Abyss, a small number of Blood Beasts have appeared in the Falling Wind Mountain, eight hundred miles away. The Vice Palace Lord ordered that within today, they must all be eliminated. Flag Master Gu, how about you lead the team in this matter?”
From Little Black, Zhang Ruochen had already learnt something about the blood beasts.
Zhang Ruochen revealed a puzzled look and asked, “Lord Flag King, what kind of beings are Blood Beasts?”
The Infinite Flag King landed on the ground and struck a circle of holy qi in the palm of his hand, forming a domain that wrapped him and Zhang Ruochen in the domain.
The Infinite Flag King stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, “Some of the secrets of the Endless Abyss are only qualified to be known by characters at the Flag Lord level. Since you were sent out to execute the characters, this King will now tell you the secrets of the Blood Beast.”
There was a layer of domain wrapped around them, and those Flag Masters from the Outer Sect could not hear the dialogue between the Infinite Flag King and Zhang Ruochen at all.
The Immeasurable Flag King looked solemn as he said, “You should have heard of the Blood Queen, right?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Naturally, I have heard of it, it is said that the Blood Queen is the most powerful Great Sage level figure in the history of the Immortal Blood Race besides the Underworld King.”?The Infinite Flag King nodded and said, “Eight hundred years ago, the Blood Queen fought with Emperor Ming, and in the end, the Blood Queen fell in the Endless Abyss.”
“In that battle, the Blood Queen’s blood was spilled on the First Echelon, and some savage beasts absorbed that powerful blood qi, and surprisingly turned into bloodthirsty ferocious beasts. Our mission for the Pixie Character Heavenly Palace is to exterminate those blood beasts, all of them, so that they don’t escape from the Jiegu Snow Mountain.”
Zhang Ruochen’s heart stirred as he asked suspiciously, “What does the first gradient mean?”
“The first gradient is in the Endless Abyss.”
Seeing Zhang Ruochen’s still puzzled look, the Infinite Flag King added, “In fact, the Endless Abyss is divided into three gradients, and when one enters the first gradient and the second gradient, there is actually a certain chance of returning to the surface again. Only if one falls into into the third gradient, is there truly no return.”
“This matter belongs to the top secret, and only those above the rank of Flag Master are qualified to know about it. You must keep it a secret, if it gets out, it will definitely be a death sentence.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, “Just who was the first to discover the secret of the Endless Abyss?”
“Naturally, it was the current Blood God Sect’s Sectmaster.”The Infinite Flag King continued, “It is said that three hundred years ago, the Sect Master was still very young when he came to the Absolute Ancient Snow Mountain to practice and encountered an attack from a Blood Beast. After killing the Blood Beast, the Sect Master, alone, went to track down the source of the Blood Beast, all the way to the Endless Abyss. In the end, it was discovered that beneath the abyss, there were actually two more layers of worlds, and those Blood Beasts crawled out from the first echelon.”
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Has Lord Flag King ever been to the first gradient?”
“No.”
The Infinite Flag King immediately shook his head and said, “The Sect Leader has issued an injunction that no one is allowed to go to the First Gradient without his order. Besides, the First Gradient is quite dangerous, there was once a Flag King who secretly entered the First Gradient, wanting to explore the secrets there, yet there was no return. The Sect Master personally went to rescue him, but merely brought back a white bone.”
The Infinite Flag King glanced at Zhang Ruochen and said, “Flag Lord Gu seems to be very interested in the First Gradient? This King must remind you that Flag King level characters have all died down there, and with your cultivation level, it would be best if you don’t take any risks.”
“Subordinate understands.”Zhang Ruochen said.
“Go and exterminate the blood beasts of Falling Wind Mountain first, this is your first mission, make sure you complete it cleanly and beautifully.”The Infinite Flag King said.
Zhang Ruochen led one hundred and twenty flag bearers, all of whom were dressed as savage elephants, and sped out, rushing to the Falling Wind Mountain, swirling up endless wind and snow.
“Saying so many words to a dying man, this king is considered to be as kind as he can be, His Highness the Divine Son should be waiting for him at the Falling Wind Mountain!”
The Infinite Banner King smiled a little and his body dispersed, turning into a black cloud of smoke that dissipated into the air.
“Let’s go to Falling Wind Mountain first, then find a chance to get away.”
Zhang Ruochen sat on the back of the Barbarian Beast and made this decision in his mind.
The Barbarian Elephant’s running speed was extremely fast, and after half an hour, Zhang Ruochen was already able to see the outline of Falling Wind Mountain.
Right at this moment, Zhao Shiqi’s voice, through the Thousand Miles Voice Transmission, entered Zhang Ruochen’s ears, “My lord, Falling Wind Mountain is a trap set up by the Infinite Flag King and the Divine Son, wanting to use it to get rid of you.”
Zhang Ruochen’s heart was slightly startled as he unleashed his spiritual power and probed back along the sound waves, quickly locking onto the location where Zhao Shiqi was.
It was none other than Falling Wind Mountain there.
This Divine Son Highness, who had tried to bring death to Zhang Ruochen several times, had already succeeded in enraging Zhang Ruochen.
If he was not eliminated, in the future, there was no telling what other tactics he would use.
“The Infinite Flag King is also at the Falling Wind Mountain?”Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were somewhat sullen and cold.
“Not in.”
Zhao Shiqi continued to transmit his voice, saying, “The Divine Son thought that Your Excellency was only at the cultivation level of a Second Stage Half-Saint, and thus, merely brought four Flag Kings with him. The joint efforts of my subordinate and Gongzi are enough to clean up all of them. Should we make a move?”
“Of course.”
Zhang Ruochen added, “Wait for me to arrive before you make your move, it’s best to leave no one alive.”
Zhang Ruochen rode the savage beast, pretending to be completely unaware of the situation, and continued to head towards Falling Wind Mountain with one hundred and twenty flag bearers.
Mei Lanzhu stood at the top of one of the icefall cliffs of the Falling Wind Mountain, looking at the approaching team of flag bearers, revealing a sneer, “Gu Linfeng, this fool, has actually come to the Falling Wind Mountain. Why doesn’t Flag Master Qi Feng take action immediately?”
“Don’t worry, Divine Son, I have already set up the Divine Hurricane Formation, even if Gu Linfeng is a Seventh Order Half-Saint, he is bound to die.”?The Qi Feng Flag Master grinned and opened an iron fan, his entire body’s spiritual energy completely mobilised as he waved his hand.
On the surface of the iron fan, a piercing light emanated, with a slender inscription flying out.
“Wow!”
Under the triggering of the inscription, the Divine Hurricane Formation operated.
All of the snowy mountains in a hundred-mile radius shook, and densely-packed wind blades flew out, heading towards Zhang Ruochen and the one hundred and twenty flag bearers, engulfing them completely.
“Ah …… there is an ambush ……”
“Save me …… attack formation ……”
In the mountain pass, screams rang out one after another.
Those flag bearers were attacked by the wind blades and were unable to resist, their bodies split apart and became a large push of mutilated corpses that fell in a pool of blood.
Seeing this scene, Mei Lanzhu had a satisfied smile on her face as she said, “The Divine Hurricane Formation is worthy of being the topmost sixth grade attack formation, Gu Linfeng should be dead beyond death. It’s just a pity that an elite flagman was lost in order to kill him.”
Zhao Shiqi stood behind Mei Lanzhu and laughed, “If there wasn’t a team of flag bearers to accompany him, who would believe that a great figure of the Blood God Sect would actually die here?”
“Gu Linfeng is just a clown who jumped through hoops, does he deserve to be called a big shot?”Mei Lanzhu glanced at Zhao Shiqi and let out a cold laugh, looking rather disdainful.
