Yao Ji could be certain that this person was by no means a close friend with a life-long friendship, instead, he was coming from a bad place and was most likely a great enemy.
In an instant, three white fox tails flew out, much like three white waterfalls, passing through the great hall and striking at the young man’s shadow standing below.
The three fox tails twisted and entwined quickly, forming a strangling aura.
Affected by that Qi force, arcane defence formation inscriptions surfaced on all of the walls, pillars, and surfaces of the glazed tiles of the great hall, like thousands of flowing chains.
A soft hum came out of that young man’s shadow’s mouth.
“Wow…”
The blood qi that enveloped the area around his body spun rapidly, forming an increasingly massive vortex.
The three fox tails collided with the vortex of blood qi and were immediately bounced off by a massive force, dropping a white fox fur.
Yao Ji only felt a sharp pain coming from the top of her tail, and her upturned hips gently trembled for a moment as she bit her red lips and left her seat, barging into the blood qi vortex and pointing out with a single finger.
Yao Ji’s finger was as soft, long and snow-white as if it was carved from immortal jade.
“Giggle.”
This finger, which contained an extremely profound Saint Dao power, formed a circle of flaming light around her finger, connecting into a long string that extended all the way to the young man’s shadow’s brow.
The blood aura was pierced through, and Yao Ji finally saw the true face of the young man’s shadow, which was none other than Timeless Transmitter Zhang Ruochen.
“It’s him …….”
Yao Ji had once dealt with Zhang Ruochen and wanted to seize the treasures on him, thus, the first guess was that Zhang Ruochen must have come to take revenge.
Zhang Ruochen revealed a bemused smile as his right palm struck out quickly, coming after and striking Yao Ji’s chest.
“Boom!”
The Saint Qi that Yao Ji had mobilised was all dispersed and flew backwards.
Zhang Ruochen had already become a Saint in flesh, and even if he didn’t use his Saint Qi, the palm he struck out was not something Yao Ji, a Saint of the Lower Realm, could withstand.
Zhang Ruochen’s palm pressed on Yao Ji’s chest and flew out along with her with a loud bang, pressing her down on top of the steps in the large hall.
“Wow!”
In Yao Ji’s mouth, she spat out blood, and the steps underneath her dented downwards, all broken and cracked.
Suffering from Zhang Ruochen’s palm force suppression, she was simply unable to get back up.
Zhang Ruochen withdrew his palm force and stepped on the steps, walking step by step to the topmost seat of the temple and sat down, saying, “After not seeing you for such a long time, Patriarch Yao’s cultivation, surprisingly, hasn’t progressed at all.”
Yao Ji climbed up from the ground and propped her hands on the ground like a beautiful scented fox, staring at Zhang Ruochen sitting above her in shock and anger, saying, “Zhang Ruochen, what the hell are you doing?”
Just now, the power that Zhang Ruochen burst out was so powerful that Yao Ji felt suffocated.
Just how long had passed, Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation level could already crush her.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Do you think that with my current cultivation, I can exterminate the Tian Luo Sect?”
Yao Ji’s heart thumped and she hurriedly put away her anger and lowered her stance, saying, “That incident back then was indeed the fault of this Sect Master, I shouldn’t have struck out at you because of a moment of greed, here, this Sect Master makes amends to you. Zhang Ruochen, you are a strong dragon crossing the river, destined to roam the nine heavens in the future, so why should you have any common sense with a small sect like ours?”
Zhang Ruochen glanced towards Yao Ji, the corner of his mouth hooked slightly as he said, “Do you think that with such a trivial apology, I will let you go?”
“What do you want? As long as you see fit, you can take all the treasures of the Tian Luo Sect.”Yao Ji said.
In front of absolute power, Yao Ji had to bow her head.
If the feud with Zhang Ruochen could be resolved by giving away some treasures, it would naturally be the best thing to do.
Zhang Ruochen possessed a world, and had also obtained the treasury of the Green Dragon Dynasty, holding incomparably rich cultivation resources, and those treasures of the Tian Luo Sect, he really couldn’t look at any of them.
Zhang Ruochen’s fingers gently tapped on the table and laughed, “What if, I want you, Sovereign?”
Yao Ji was slightly stunned, and then, a soft, watery smile appeared on her charming face as she twisted her slender willow waist and walked towards Zhang Ruochen in a graceful manner, softly saying, “The Time and Space Transmitter whose might has spread throughout the world, to look at this Sage’s bushy willow posture is really an honour for this Sage.”
Yao Ji had already cultivated for over three hundred years, yet she was still at the cultivation level of a Lower Realm Saint, and it could be said that it was estimated that she would not be able to break through to a higher realm in her lifetime.
Zhang Ruochen, however, was different, having already become a Saint at a young age, rising quite swiftly, and with infinite potential for the future. If he could really become his woman, it would conversely be an opportunity for Yao Ji.
“Patriarch Yao has misunderstood!”
Zhang Ruochen’s voice was cold as he said, “I have no interest in your body, I just want you to go and do something for me. If, you are able to honestly get this matter done, the grudge between us will be cancelled from now on.”
Yao Ji appeared unperturbed and did not feel embarrassed, but asked, “What is it?”
With that, Zhang Ruochen told her the news that the Yellow Sky Clan’s experts were hiding in the Black Market General Altar.
Upon hearing the news, Yao Ji’s face became quite serious as she said, “In fact, not long ago, the Grand Master also sent us a message that the Yellow Sky Tribe would be rushing a large number of strong men to the Tiantai Prefecture, telling us to pay more attention and report to him as soon as we have any news.”
Zhang Ruochen did know that the so-called “Grand Arranger” was the helmsman of the Tiantai Prefecture’s Black Market General Altar, and was a first-class big shot in the entire Black Market.
The masters of all the evil forces in Tiantai Prefecture were all subject to the orders of the Grand Master.
It would not be too much to call him the number one person of the Evil Dao in Tiantai Prefecture.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “What is your Black Market’s attitude towards the Immortal Blood Clan?”
Yao Ji stretched out a finger and pointed upwards, saying, “It is said that the topmost level of the Black Market, that Lord Evil Emperor of the Huan Yu Heaven, passed down a supreme decree. When encountering the Immortal Blood Clan, they must be killed.”
Huan Yu Heaven, a place name, had been the holy land of the black market since ancient times.
Other than the Evil Dao Saint of the Black Market, no one knew where exactly the Huan Yu Heaven was.
The Evil Emperor of the Huan Yu Heaven nowadays was obviously not the Evil Emperor of eight hundred years ago.
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, ”Go! Go and pass the news, to the Grand Master of the Black Market General Altar, I’m curious to know what the Grand Master will do next.”
After Yao Ji left, Zhang Ruochen did not continue to stay in the Tian Luo Sect and followed along.
In the end, Zhang Ruochen did not feel at ease with Yao Ji, what if she leaked the news about him and led a large group of Evil Dao Saints to deal with him?
Zhang Ruochen had to be extra careful.
Walking out of the Sky Luo Sect, Zhang Ruochen received a transmission light talisman, and seeing the contents on the talisman, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, “Second Senior Brother’s degree is very fast, to think that he has already rushed to the Tiantai Prefecture.”
Zhang Ruochen booked a room at an inn not far from the Tian Luo Sect, and then, sent a message to his second senior brother, telling him the location.
The second disciple of the Xuan Gui Sword Saint, Zhu Hongtao, with a height of four metres three, fat head and ears, and a waist as thick as a millstone, wore a pair of large red trousers with a green silk shirt on top, and walked into the inn with a big round belly.
The third disciple of the Xuan Gui Sword Saint, Wan Ke, walked beside Zhu Hongtao, looking to be around thirty years of age, with a white face, beardless, and a decent demeanour, with a modest smile on his face at all times.
It was fortunate that Wan Ke followed Zhu Hongtao’s side, otherwise, with a fierce appearance like Zhu Hongtao’s, even evil cultivators would be scared to run away.
The three senior brothers finally met.
When Zhu Hongtao and Wan Ke saw Zhang Ruochen, they both revealed an excited expression.
“Sixth Senior Brother, you’re actually still alive, all these years, why haven’t you come to find Second Senior Brother? After receiving your transmission and learning that you were in trouble, Third Senior Brother and I rushed to Tiantai Prefecture without stopping.”
Although, Zhu Hongtao was very fierce looking, he was quite sentimental.
Wan Ke appeared quite calm and laughed, “Sixth Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother has heard about all those things you did! Right now, other than Master Teacher, the one that Third Senior Brother admires the most is you.”
“That’s right, I heard that you went to the netherworld, searched for the Raise the Dead Pill, and resurrected Senior Elder. Such a thing should be done by us senior brothers, how could you risk your life alone?”Zhu Hongtao said with some complaints.
Wan Ke continued, “The battle at the Green Dragon Market Realm killed the hearts of the Barbarian Beast clans and the Immortal Blood Clan, and according to those trainees from the Eastern Domain Sacred Academy, wherever you have done, the Barbarian Beasts and the Immortal Blood Clan have had to retreat, and no one has dared to contend with you. If Third Senior Brother hadn’t broken through to the Saint realm, at that time, it is estimated that he should have also been in the Green Dragon Market Realm to fight alongside you.”
“It is said that in the Green Dragon Market Realm, many human cultivators owed you a favour and admired you to the core, seeing you as the number one strongest person of the new generation of the human race, and the object of study and admiration for young cultivators.”
……
…………
Zhu Hongtao and Wan Ke were both excited, proud to be Zhang Ruochen’s senior brother.
Every time those other cultivators mentioned Zhang Ruochen’s name and said that he had done something great again, Zhu Hongtao and Wan Ke would immediately say, that’s our senior brother.
Zhang Ruochen knew that Zhu Hongtao and Wan Ke were both people of temperament, and being praised by them for this, he was actually a bit embarrassed and laughed, “It’s not easy for our senior brothers to meet again, so let’s sit down and talk again!”
Next, the three of them talked about many more things, talking about Feng Han poisoning the Xuan Gui Sword Saint, causing him to die in defeat.
“It’s so hateful! I’ve always thought that my master was stronger than the Nine Spectres Sword Saint, so how could he have died in a tragic defeat, so it turned out that it was some traitor who did this.”
“Right now, all those sword cultivators in the Eastern Domain think that the Nine Spectres Sword Saint is the number one Sword Saint in the Eastern Domain, and many of them are rushing to Nine Spectres City to pay homage to their master.”
“Especially those disciples and grandchildren of the Nine Spectres Sword Saint are even more hateful, all kinds of belittling their masters and elevating the Nine Spectres Sword Saint… I must make the real truth public, so that they know that the number one Sword Saint in the Eastern Domain is the Xuan Gui Sword Saint, not the Nine Spectres Sword Saint.”
Zhu Hongtao was infuriated and held a bellyful of fire, with a bang, he smashed the table with a slap and let out ruthless words, “Even if Feng Han is dead, I will still settle the score with the Undying Blood Race. I’m going to the battlefield in the Northern Domain right now, and I’ll never come back until I’ve killed ten Undying Blood Race Saints.”
“Why bother going to the Northern Domain if you want to kill the Immortal Blood Clan?”Zhang Ruochen said.
