Seeing Yuan Long Half-Saint, all the disciples present, all stood up and bowed respectfully, saying in unison, “Greetings to Ancestor Yuan Long.”
Yuan Long Half-Saint’s gaze, swept towards the crowd present, with a serious face, he said, “Leaving the clan, also means losing the clan’s shelter, and everything has to rely on one’s own strength to break through. Although, this seat will also be travelling with you all, but, after all, there is a limit to the amount of energy, and it is impossible to shelter everyone. Nowadays, it’s an eventful autumn, so after heading to the Central Region, you guys must be careful.”
Without further ado, the Yuanlong Half-Saint took the lead and took a step into the light gate above, stepping into the wormhole.
Immediately after, the Sacred Transmission Disciples, Inner Sect Disciples, and Outer Sect Disciples at the top of the Spirit Mountain followed in this manner.
It wasn’t the first time Zhang Ruochen had gone through a wormhole and made a space jump, and thus, appeared extraordinarily calm. On the contrary, those outside disciples and inner disciples around him were all whispering, looking very excited.
“If, my comprehension of the rules of space is a little more thorough, I should be able to set up a spatial teleportation array.”Zhang Ruochen secretly said.
A spatial teleportation array was equivalent to a great spatial shift, and although it could not cross a domain, crossing thousands of miles, or even tens of thousands of miles, should still be no problem.
Of course, setting up a spatial teleportation array required a high level of spatial attainment, and at Zhang Ruochen’s current level, he was not able to make it that far.
The other end of the wormhole was located in one of the nine states of the Central Region, the Tiantai Prefecture.
At this moment, in the northeast of the Tiantai Prefecture, in the centre of an ancient city, the wormhole suspended in mid-air emitted a piercing light.
Immediately after, a silhouette dressed in Daoist robes walked out from the wormhole.
The Yuan Long Half-Saint stood in mid-air at the centre of the verdant square, staring down at the hundreds of Two Element Sect disciples below him, saying, “This city, named Taiyin Ancient City, was established during the ancient times, and has always been an important stronghold for the mutual exchanges between the Two Element Sect’s cultivators and the Central Region’s cultivators.”
“The Two Element Sect has been operating in Taiyin Ancient City for many years, and there are many of your masters and brothers in the city, as well as a number of trading places where you can exchange for battle armaments, savage beasts, elixirs, secret martial arts …… and so on. Therefore, you guys are still quite safe in Taiyin Ancient City.”
“Taiyin Ancient City is located in Qingli County in the Tiantai Prefecture, and after leaving the city, to the east is the 30,000 Leagues of Wolves Plain, which is the clan land of the Demon Wolf Demi-Human Race. If it is not necessary, do not intrude into the depths of the Wolf Plains, lest you cause misunderstandings among the Demonic Wolf Half-Human Race and cause unnecessary trouble.”
After the explanation, Yuan Long Half-Saint was about to lead the hundreds of disciples present into the Taiyin Ancient City to settle down for the time being.
“Rumble.”
Right at this moment, the hurried sound of a savage beast running rang out, followed by the sound of iron clashing.
A few moments later, roughly three thousand heavily-armed soldiers riding demonic wolf beasts surrounded all of the Two Element Sect disciples in the square.
A powerful aura of solemnity enveloped the central city of Taiyin Ancient City.
The cultivators in Taiyin Ancient City all felt quite surprised. Those cultivators with high cultivation levels released their spiritual power and secretly observed. Those cultivators with lower cultivation levels rushed towards the central city area and stood at the edge, holding a mindset of watching the spectacle.
“The Wolf Army has been guarding the northern part of the Wolf Plains, how did they come to Taiyin Ancient City?”
“The four great vajra under the Northern Wolf King Zhao Sheng Royal’s seat, all of them have arrived, it’s unbelievable.”
“The four great vajra are all in the army?”?”The four people at the forefront of the Wolf Army are the Four Great Vajra, Zhao Gongming, Xu Qing, Wolf Seven, and Wolf Fifteen. The four of them, although they also come to Taiyin Ancient City from time to time to purchase some cultivation resources, it is the first time they have led an army into the city. Moreover, the four of them are still travelling at the same time, so I’m afraid that something really big has happened.”
……
The Northern Wolf King, Zhao Shengwu, led 800,000 wolf armies and sat in the Wolf Plains, not only defending against the Demon Wolf Demi-humans, but also, deterring the major clans and families in Qingli County.
Qingli County, separated by 120,000 miles from north to south and 74,000 miles from east to west, had a resident population of roughly 1.7 billion people, with hundreds of cultivation forces of all sizes spread out.
The Northern Wolf King, Zhao Shengwu, could be said to be the number one person arranged by the imperial court in Qingli County, and even the county governor of Qingli County had to give him a break.
The four great vajra under the Northern Wolf King’s seat were naturally all first-rate powerhouses, and in the entire Qingli County, they were also prestigious existences. When they arrived at any sect, they would also be treated with the highest specifications.
After all, in the Central Domain, the influence of the imperial court could be said to be at its peak, and even powerful Saint sects wouldn’t dare to go against the official forces.
Zhao Gongming, the head of the Four Great Vajra, rode on the back of a savage beast burning with flames, holding a piece of iron order, and raised his voice, “By the order of the Northern Wolf King, we are capturing Zhang Ruochen, a major criminal of the imperial court, and all the disciples of the Two Element Sect who have just stepped out of the wormhole must be subjected to the lineup one by one, and are not allowed to leave the plaza for half a step, or else they are to be killed on pain of death.”
Zhao Gongming’s cultivation, reaching the realm of a First Order Half Saint, shouted out a voice that was extremely voluminous, spreading throughout half of Taiyin Ancient City.
The cultivators in the city finally understood what was going on, so the Wolf Army had come to capture Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen?
Could it be the legendary Which Time Successor?
This time, it caused an even greater shock.
The fame of Time and Space Transmitter Zhang Ruochen was enough to be compared to those famous saints, after all, he was the only major criminal that the Empress had personally ordered to be captured in the last hundred years.
“As far as I know, wasn’t Zhang Ruochen already killed by the Nine Pale Sword Saint, so how come the Ministry of War is capturing him again?”
“Your news is too closed, don’t you know that not long ago, Zhang Ruochen appeared in the netherworld and found the Resurrection Pill to revive his master, the Xuan Gui Sword Saint.”
“Even if Zhang Ruochen is still alive, how could he have appeared among the disciples of the Two Element Sect? Besides, even if Zhang Ruochen really blended into the Two Element Sect, how would the Ministry of Military Affairs know that he would come to the Central Region?”
……
Because of the name “Zhang Ruochen”, the entire Taiyin Ancient City became abuzz as countless cultivators rushed towards the square in the centre of the city, wanting to see the true face of the Time Successor with their own eyes.
“The Ministry of Military Affairs really doesn’t lack capable and wise people, they even made preparations in advance and came to capture me just after stepping out of the wormhole, it seems that today, it is inevitable that there will be a vicious battle.”
Zhang Ruochen sighed softly as he stood between the outer disciples.
Just as Zhang Ruochen secretly gathered his Saint Qi and prepared to take the initiative, a cold snort came from Yuan Long Half-Saint in his ears.
“The Taiyin Ancient City, is the territory of the Two Elemental Sect, when did it become possible for your Wolf Army to trespass in at will?”
Recently, Yuan Long Half-Saint’s mood, which was already very irritable, held a bellyful of fire. After a long time, he had taken the initiative to apply to lead a group of disciples and travelled to the Central Region for training, however, he had only just stepped out of the wormhole when he was blocked, so naturally, he was quite annoyed.
How could Zhang Ruochen be among the disciples of the Two Element Sect?
The Yuan Long Half-Saint was extremely confident in his eyesight. If, that bullsh*t time and space transmitter was really hiding amongst the disciples of the Two Element Sect, would he not be able to see it?
Zhao Gongming was naturally able to tell that this old Taoist in front of him was a Half-Saint Ancestor of the Two Elemental Sect, with an extremely profound cultivation, and even when compared to the Northern Wolf King, I’m afraid that he wasn’t much weaker.
It was best not to offend such a character.
Zhao Gongming frowned, clasped his hands together, and said, ”The Ministry of Military Affairs has already received precise information that Zhang Ruochen has indeed infiltrated into the Two Yi Sect, and, will most likely come to the Central Domain in the near future. We are also acting under orders, and we hope that Your Excellency and the Two Yi Sect’s can cooperate.”
“Bullsh*t, do you think Zhang Ruochen is proficient in the 36 changes? This seat is at least a Half-Saint, if, indeed, he is under our eyes, can he escape our eyes?”The Yuanlong Half-Saint said in a cold voice.
Ever since he had given the Void Sword to Zhang Ruochen, he had become a laughing stock amongst the Half-Saints of the Two Element Sect. Thus, anyone who doubted his eyesight would enrage him.
The fact that the Yuan Long Half-Saint was so brutal and unreasonable had caused Zhang Ruochen to show a hint of joy, and for the time being, he did not make a move and waited to see what would happen.
Zhao Gongming was at least a Half-Saint and naturally wanted to save face, and he was naturally quite angry in his heart when he was reprimanded by Yuan Long Half-Saint. He said, “I think you are deliberately harbouring Zhang Ruochen, all the generals listen to the order, arrest all the disciples of the Two Yi Sect who are present and bring them back to the Wolf Army camp.”?”I’ll see who dares.”?Yuan Long Half-Saint roared out sternly.
A powerful sound wave spat out from his mouth and surged out in all directions.
The three thousand Wolf Army members, even though they had formed a battle formation, were unable to withstand it, and they immediately toppled over and fell in a large swathe.
Zhao Gongming was hit by the brunt of the impact and fell back more than ten feet before he was able to stabilise his footing, a drop of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
With extremely shocked eyes, he stared at the Yuan Long Half-Saint, ”This old fellow’s cultivation is so terrifying. Could it be that the information from the Ministry of Military Affairs is true, and the Two Elemental Sect is indeed deliberately sheltering Zhang Ruochen. Now, it seems that only Lord Northern Wolf King himself can suppress him.”
The Yuan Long Half-Saint landed back on the ground, and with four wrinkled fingers, he struck forwards, and four sword waves flew out from his fingertips, like four pillars of fire, radiating an extremely majestic power.
“Poof!”
The four great vajra of the Wolf Army, all of them were pierced through their bodies by the sword waves and flew out backwards, falling to the ground.
The Yuan Long Half-Saint flung out his sleeves, snorted coldly, and said, “I don’t really want to pay attention to whoever your Ministry of War wants to capture. However, you’d better not bully the Two Element Sect’s head, today, is considered a small punishment for you, if there’s a next time, even if the Northern Wolf King comes out, this seat will still clean him up.”
“Ow!”?Right at this moment, outside of Tai Yin Ancient City, a loud wolf whistle resounded.
The sound hadn’t completely dissipated yet, and the Northern Wolf King Zhao Shengwu rode a giant golden wolf, transforming into a golden gale that passed through the city and arrived in the middle of the square in the centre of the city.
“Why is Yuan Long Half-Saint so angry? Our Ministry of Military Affairs is only handling the case impartially, and has never intentionally targeted the Two Yi Sect.”
In Zhao Shengyou’s hand, he was holding an octagonal Saint’s Eye, and his voice was quite cold. There was a strong and incomparable battle intent that spread out from his body, enveloping the entire Taiyin Ancient City.
Only to see that one of the mirrors of the Octagonal Sacred Eye was precisely Zhang Ruochen’s silhouette.
At the same time, Zhao Shengyou’s gaze, following the guidance of the Octagonal Sacred Eye, stared towards the hundreds of Two Element Sect disciples in the centre of the square, and finally, locked onto Zhang Ruochen’s body.
