Huang Yichen frowned, and a few doubts appeared in his eyes as well, saying, “Rather, there was no divine blessing, presumably because the scale of Yunwu County Country’s sacrifice was too small, and it hadn’t yet gained the recognition of the gods.”
“Such as the Thousand Waters County Country’s sacrifice, the scale is a hundred times that of Yunwu County Country, just the sacrifices alone are tens of millions of cows and sheep, hundreds of thousands of savage beasts, and the blood qi emanating from them is enough to cover a thousand miles in a radius.”
“For a sacrifice like the Yunwu County Kingdom’s, it’s already quite remarkable to have a divine manifestation, and you still want to be blessed by a divine spirit?”
Zhang Ruochen laughed, “Since there is no Divine Blessing, so what if we miss the Divine Manifestation?”
“You ……” Huang Yichen said.
How sacred a matter the divine Spirit Manifestation was, yet he completely disregarded it, exasperating Huang Yichen so much that he didn’t want to continue talking about it with him.
Huang Yichen lightly glanced at Zhang Ruochen and said, “You’ve been in closed-door cultivation lately, there are many things that you shouldn’t know about, right?”
“During the time I was in seclusion, what happened in the King City?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Huang Yichen’s expression was somewhat proud as he said, “The Martial City Academy Palace sent six Silver-robed Elders to Yunwu County Kingdom, and in conjunction with the Yuntai Sect House, they have already annihilated the headquarters of the Black Market, beheading more than 5,000 Evil Dao Martial Artists, and capturing more than 3,000 Evil Dao Martial Artists, dealing a heavy blow to the Black Market. Other than the Hellmouth Sect and the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce, the other black market forces were almost completely wiped out.”
Zhang Ruochen was shocked, the Martial Market Palace had actually dispatched six Silver-robed Elders, that would be six Heavenly Extremity Realm Martial Dao powerhouses, it seemed that they had been moved to true anger.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “What about the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect?”
Huang Yichen said, “Apart from the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect’s headquarters not being found, all of the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect’s sub-runs in the Yunwu County Kingdom have almost all been wiped out. With the loss of those sub-rudders, the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect has lost its absolute dominance in the Yunwu County Country, and it’s impossible to recover without decades of time.”
“This retaliation against the Black Market and the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect is considered to be completely over, it’s only a pity that I let the Poison Spider Young Master and Lord Hua Ming escape. If I had let them catch them, I would have had to break them into pieces.”
Huang Yichen’s five fingers were in the shape of claws, revealing long fingernails, hating the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce very much.
After a long while, Huang Yichen collected the anger in his heart and said, “I’m returning to Sky Demon Martial City tomorrow, what about you?”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “I should stay in the King City for a while longer, a month before I return.”
The Martial Dao realm had just broken through, so Zhang Ruochen did not intend to go back to the Martial City Palace immediately, preparing to consolidate his realm in the King City while taking some time to spend more time with his family.
After leaving this time, there wouldn’t be much time to come back in the future.
Huang Yichen said, “Alright! I’ve killed quite a few Evil Dao martial artists this time, so when I return to Sky Demon Martial City, I’ll be able to exchange a large amount of merit value. Once I get the merit value, I can exchange it for more cultivation resources, and I also need to raise my realm up as soon as possible.”
The next day, the students of the Martial City Academy and the disciples of the Yuntai Sect House began to leave the Yunwu County Kingdom one after another.
Although Zhang Ruochen had missed this great battle and lost the opportunity to earn Merit Value, he had no regrets, at least his cultivation had broken through to the Earth Extremity Realm Minor Extremity Position!
After having breakfast with Concubine Lin, Zhang Ruochen had just stepped out of Gongwan when he saw Zhang Tiangui walking towards him.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen, a smile appeared on Zhang Tianwei’s face as he took the initiative to call out, “Ninth Brother, what a coincidence, I was just about to go look for you.”
“Looking for me for what?” Zhang Ruochen said.
Zhang Tian Gui said, “To be exact, it’s not me looking for you, it’s Father King who wants to find you, come with me to the Xia Qi Palace!”
Zhang Ruochen stared Avray at Zhang Tiangui, although he felt that Zhang Tiangui’s smile was fake, but in the middle of the royal palace, Zhang Ruochen didn’t believe that he would be able to pull any more tricks, so he followed him forward to the Xia Qi Hall.
The Yunwu County King was sitting at the top of the Xia Qi Hall, wearing a golden robe, his eyes shining, the Qi of Dragon and Tiger flowing around his body, his martial arts cultivation seemed to have improved again.
“Greetings to the Great King!”
The crowd below, saluted Yunwu County King one after another.
Yunwu County King nodded and said, “The Black Market and the Moon Worshipping Demon Cult have been crushed, but there are still many remnants of evil martial artists fleeing outside, for the sake of the stability of the Yunwu County Kingdom, it is necessary to purge these evil martial artists to avoid leaving behind any future troubles. Last night, the Seventh Prince detected one of the strands of Evil Dao martial artists, hiding in Qinghe Fort, which is three hundred miles away from the royal city.”
“This wave of evil way martial artists is very powerful, and there are even experts at the Earth Extreme Realm Grand Circle level among them. This king has decided that it will be the Seventh Prince and General Red Khan who will lead 10,000 troops with 3,000 bows and crossbows to go ahead and eliminate the Evil Dao martial artists in Qinghe Fort, does everyone have any opinions?”
General Red Khan knelt on one knee and said, “My subordinate will lead the way.”
Zhang Tiangui stepped out and bowed to the Yunwu County King, saying, “Father, my son has just received a message from a senior disciple of the Yuntai Zongfu, who has discovered the whereabouts of the Poisonous Spider Chamber of Commerce’s chief leader in the Yunwu County Kingdom, Duke Hua Ming. Hua Ming Gong is an expert of the Heavenly Extreme Realm, and only if my son personally takes action will he be able to deal with him. As for Qinghe Fort, my son would like to recommend Ninth Brother and General Red Khan to go and conquer it.”
County King Yunwu pondered for a moment and nodded, “Lord Hua Ming is a Heavenly Extreme Realm Martial Myth, and it is said that he has already been injured by the silver-robed elder of the Martial City Academy, so it is the perfect time to kill him. If you let him go, it’s like letting a tiger return to the mountain. With your strength alone, I’m afraid you won’t be able to kill him. Let’s do it this way! Let Wan Cheng Chong accompany you, combining the strength of the two of you will give you a greater certainty.”
Heavenly Extreme Realm Martial Myths were each characters with heavenly cultivation and possessed many means of preserving their lives, so it was very difficult to be killed.
In order to kill a Heavenly Extreme Realm martial artist, at least three Heavenly Extreme Realm martial artists would need to join forces. Or, one of the Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artists would be more than ten times stronger than the other Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artist in order to kill their opponent.
The Yunwu County King had naturally gone through a round of thorough consideration when he dispatched Zhang Tiangui and Wan Chengzhong to join forces to deal with Duke Hua Ming.
County King Yunwu’s gaze was fixed on Zhang Ruochen as he said, “Jiu’er, are you willing to go with General Red Khan to conquer Qinghe Fort?”
Zhang Ruochen always felt that there was something wrong with this matter, how could it be so coincidental? Zhang Tiangui just happened to learn that a wave of Evil Dao martial practitioners were lurking in Qinghe Fort last night, and then today, he got the news from Lord Hua Ming, it was almost as if it had already been arranged in advance.
It was as if Zhang Tiangui had already prepared for Zhang Ruochen and General Red Khan to go to Qinghe Fort, and everything that was being said now was completely just a formality.
Zhang Tiangui laughed, ”Ninth brother, Qinghe Fort is just a bunch of rabble, and the strongest is only an Earth Extremity Realm Grand Circle Evil Dao Martial Artist, you won’t be afraid, right? Don’t worry, even if you encounter any danger, there’s still General Red Khan, he’s enough to protect your safety.”
General Red Khan was tiger-like and bearded, his cultivation reached the Earth Extremity Realm Great Perfection, and he was one of the tough generals in Yunwu County*, good enough to be ranked as one of the top ten experts in the army.
He patted his chest and said in a rough voice, “Don’t worry, Ninth Prince, after going to Qinghe Fort, you will only be at the back of the line, this general will definitely raze Qinghe Fort to the ground. At that time, all the credit for killing the evil martial artists can be credited to Your Highness the Ninth Prince, and Your Highness the Ninth Prince will bring this credit back to the Martial City Palace of Learning, where it can be exchanged for a large amount of merit value.”
In General Red Khan’s opinion, Zhang Ruochen was only in his teens after all, and had probably not seen any big scenes, so even if he was scared in his heart, it was a very normal thing.
However, who called someone else a prince?
Even if Qinghe Fort was defeated, it was still the Ninth Prince’s credit.
General Red Khan’s heart is very clear, the siege of Qinghe Fort, that a ninth prince can not rely on, can only rely on his own. The ninth prince, stand aside to pick up the credit on the line.
After all, the Ninth Prince is still too young to be compared to the Seventh Prince. Someone else, the Seventh Prince, had already dared to go alone to kill a Heavenly Extreme Realm Martial Myth, truly worthy of being the pride of the Yunwu County Kingdom, the number one heavenly pride of the thirty-six counties of the Heavenly Demon Ridge.
Although Zhang Ruochen felt that something was wrong, he was not afraid in the slightest, with his current strength, even if he faced a normal Heavenly Extreme Realm Martial Dao Myth, he still had the power to fight.
Zhang Ruochen smiled, “Since that’s the case, then I’ll make a trip to Qinghe Fort with General Red Khan.”
Seeing Zhang Ruochen agree, a hint of an unseen smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Tiangui’s mouth.
When Zhang Ruochen and General Red Khan walked out of the royal palace, they rode the two savage beasts and rushed to the military camp outside the royal city.
Half an hour later, General Red Khan consolidated 10,000 cavalrymen and rushed in the direction of Qinghe Fort.
General Red Khan rode a seven-metre tall red tiger, clad in thick battle armour that was formidable and powerful, and carried an eight-hundred kilogram black wolf tooth stick in his right hand as he walked at the forefront of the army to open up the way.
Zhang Ruochen sat inside a magnificent carriage, travelling in the centre of the army, protected tightly.
Inside the carriage, Zhang Ruochen sat on top of a soft sable cushion, with a fireplace placed next to him, looking very cosy.
“This General Red Khan, it seems that he treats me as a genius prince, thinking that I am going to Qinghe Fort to grab the credit.” Zhang Ruochen laughed bitterly.
General Red Khan had indeed misinterpreted the situation, and in his view, his strength alone was enough to annihilate the evil martial practitioners of Qinghe Fort. When the Yunwu County King dispatched the Ninth Prince to him, it was obvious that he was letting the Ninth Prince go and harvest the merit, with which he would be able to exchange for Merit Values when he returned to the Martial City Palace of Learning.
And his mission, besides attacking Qinghe Fort, was to protect the Ninth Prince’s safety.
That was why he treated Zhang Ruochen like a dude and protected him tightly, fearing that this Ninth Prince would be injured by an evil martial artist.
Qinghe Fort was only three hundred miles away from the royal city, and with the speed of the cavalry, in an hour’s time, they had arrived and surrounded the entire castle.
Qinghe Castle, was a castle that was not too big and not too small, covering an area of two hundred and forty acres, with walls as high as ten feet.
At the same time, Qinghe Castle was also a stronghold of the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce.
Most of the goods of the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce were first transported from all over the country to the Qinghe Fort, and then, from the Qinghe Fort, they were transported to the underground black market in the King City for trading.
After the Poison Spider Young Master and Hua Ming Gong escaped from the King City, they immediately rushed to Qinghe Fort, preparing to withdraw immediately after transferring the goods hoarded in Qinghe Fort.
However, before they could retreat, the army of the Yunwu County Kingdom surrounded Qinghe Fort.
Zhang Tiangui naturally knew that the Poison Spider Young Lord and Hua Ming Gong were in Qinghe Fort, that was why he had asked Zhang Ruochen to come to besiege Qinghe Fort, and that was why he intended to kill Zhang Ruochen with the help of the Poison Spider Young Lord and Hua Ming Gong.
I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to do that!
