One of the sergeants, who was quite old, gripped his spear and was about to attack Zhang Ruochen.
Before he could even strike, he was slapped away by Pot.
Pot sighed, “I’ve told you all not to go over there, you guys blocking his path now is really no different from looking for death.”
A rabbit that was taller than a human was spitting out human words, those soldiers were very surprised.
Especially that one sergeant who had been slapped out by Pot Pot was even more terrified when he realised that he had landed dozens of metres away without a single injury on his entire body.
That one young swordsman and that one rabbit were definitely both marvellous martial powerhouses, not something they could mess with.
Those soldiers, in the end, still didn’t dare to strike at Zhang Ruochen and watched Zhang Ruochen enter the King City.
The royal city was still as lively as ever, with people flowing and traffic flowing, only occasionally, one could hear people discussing the huge changes in the royal palace, as well as the tragedy of the Lin Family’s extermination.
“The seventh prince is really ruthless enough, in order to ascend to the throne, he even killed all the people in the royal family, and the princes and county lords all became ghosts under the knife.”
“It is said that there are several princes who even kneeled down to beg him, wanting to join him, but they were still executed by him.”
“Anyway, that’s the royal family’s business, and it has nothing to do with us.”
“Not only the royal family, even the Lin family was exterminated, the eight hundred and forty-seven corpses in the courtyard have not been buried to this day, and the blood has flowed onto the streets!”
“Why did the Seventh Prince want to move the Lin Family?”
“It should be related to the Ninth Prince, after all, the old head of the Lin Family is the Ninth Prince’s grandfather, and it is said that he has also been killed, even his head has been chopped off. Ai! Sins!”
“Hehe! You guys take a quick look at …… that one carrying a sword, why does it resemble the Ninth Prince?”
Zhang Ruochen was already attracting attention as he walked down the street, and at this moment, someone finally recognised him.
“That person is the Ninth Prince …… He actually came back ……”
“The royal palace has undergone a drastic change, he must be coming back, it’s just a pity that his coming back won’t change anything, almost all the clansmen of the royal family have been killed cleanly, and the seventh prince has already become the master of the Yunwu County Kingdom.”
“How did he come back alone? The fourth prince led a large army back and failed to avenge his father’s death, what use can he be alone, but he just came back to die!”
……
What happened to the royal family did cause a lot of shocks, but it didn’t affect the daily lives of the ordinary people, so they didn’t care who became the county king of Yunwu County Kingdom.
Of course, there were still a lot of people who secretly cursed Zhang Tiangui for even being able to do something like killing his father and brother, it was simply heartless.
At the same time, the news of Zhang Ruochen entering the royal city travelled into the royal palace and into Zhang Tiangui’s ears.
Hearing this news, Zhang Tian Gui was quite surprised, looking at that one sergeant who came in to report, confirming once again, “Are you sure it’s really Zhang Ruochen?”
“It’s him, there’s absolutely no mistake.”That one sergeant said with certainty.
“He’s the only one?”
“That’s right, it’s just him alone, along with …… a rabbit. The Four Directions County King and Elder Jin, they have already rushed over with their men, Great King, should we immediately deploy our troops to surround him?”
“How could this be, the Young Lord personally attacked, but even Zhang Ruochen escaped?”A bad feeling arose in Zhang Tiangui’s heart.
Zhang Tiangui sat back down again and gently shook his head, “Since the Four Direction County King and Jin Chuan have already rushed over, I believe they can deal with Zhang Ruochen. If even they are unable to do so, then even sending more troops over will be futile. You will now go and pass on my order to immediately open the Palace Protector Formation of the Royal Palace, since Zhang Ruochen wants to come back to seek death, then I will fulfil him.”
Just at this moment, outside the palace, footsteps sounded.
The Queen quickly walked in from outside, a little alarmed, and said, “Gui’er, I heard that Zhang Ruochen has returned! Didn’t you say that Zhang Ruochen had been killed by the young master of the Black Market One Piece Hall, so how come he’s back in the royal city?”
Zhang Tian Gui faintly smiled and said, “Mother, you don’t have to worry, even if Zhang Ruochen has rushed back, he is only at the early stage of the Heavenly Extremity Realm. The Four Direction County King and Jin Chuan can both be top experts who have cultivated their Martial Souls, dealing with him is just a breeze.”
The Queen’s heart was slightly settled as she said, “What do we need to do now?”
“We don’t need to do anything, we just need to go to the top of the city wall of the royal palace and watch how Zhang Ruochen is killed by the experts of the Four Direction County Kingdom.”
Zhang Tian Gui still had one more move in his hand, so he appeared to be very calm, without a trace of fear in his heart.
It was just that he was still still a little puzzled as to how Zhang Ruochen had escaped from the heavenly net set up by Emperor Yi.
Zhang Tiangui and the Queen walked out of the grand hall and climbed up the walls of the royal palace, looking into the distance, they soon saw Zhang Ruochen walking on the wide streets.
Zhang Ruochen’s appearance caused a huge stir in the entire royal city, as many martial artists rushed over and surrounded the streets.
In the Yunwu County Kingdom, almost all the martial artists knew that the royal clan had two human experts whose fame had spread throughout the world, one being the Seventh Prince and the other being the Ninth Prince.
Many people were secretly discussing whether the Seventh Prince was more powerful or the Ninth Prince was more outstanding.
Now, with the huge change in the royal palace and the return of the Ninth Prince, everything seemed to be foreshadowing that the two princes would be duking it out.
Brothers turning against each other and geniuses clashing, it was definitely an event that all martial artists were looking forward to.
With bucket hats on their heads and black cloaks, Lin Mishan and Lin Chenyu walked through the crowd, looking at Zhang Ruochen in the centre of the street from afar.
“It’s really him, he’s back!”Lin Mishan’s eyes were a little red and swollen as she stared at Zhang Ruochen standing in the distance, a different emotion arising in her heart.
Only three short years had passed, and that once sickly cousin had now become a world-famous expert.
Lin Chenyu’s voice was hoarse as he said, “What’s the use of coming back?”
“Perhaps …… he can avenge father, grandfather and the others ……,” Lin Mishan said.
After the Lin family extermination tragedy, Lin Mishan and Lin Chenyu secretly returned to King City. It was a pity that the black market had many experts ambushed outside the Lin family, they didn’t even have the chance to go back to collect the bodies of their family members, they could only watch the bones of their loved ones fall in a pool of blood and slowly rot.
Lin Chenyu said, ”Zhang Tiangui has already taken control of the situation and has defected to the black market, surrounded by experts. Zhang Ruochen coming back alone is just hitting a stone with an egg. Zhang Ruochen is still too impulsive, if he could have invited Pavilion Master Lei here, even if Zhang Tiangui had three heads and six arms, he would still be dead.”
In Lin Chenyu’s opinion, Zhang Ruochen was indeed not smart enough, but instead very foolish.
The martial cultivation was not strong enough to run back for revenge. What was this not stupidity?
Right at this moment, a “da da da” roar rang out from the street.
A group of soldiers wearing golden battle armour, riding huge savage beasts, came galloping from afar, causing a large cloud of smoke and dust, creating a huge noise.
The ground, was shaking.
Those martial artists on the street were all stunned and immediately scattered, retreating into the shops on both sides of the street.
At the forefront of that group of soldiers was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a steel-needle beard, elite tiger eyes, carrying a bronze halberd, and riding a four-metre tall turquoise-eyed golden lion under his seat.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen standing in front, a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes, and a roar came out of his mouth.
That one turquoise-eyed golden lion received the order and immediately stopped, two tubes of white smoke emerging from its nostrils.
The dozen or so sergeants behind it also called their mounts to a halt and stood neatly behind them.
In a flash, the entire street formed a murderous aura, and a powerful martial aura emanated from the bodies of those ten or so sergeants, causing those martial artists in the surroundings to feel their hearts trembling with fear.
Those dozen or so sergeants, what exactly were their origins, how could they have such a powerful aura?
They were by no means ordinary martial artists.
Zhang Ruochen stopped and looked up, his gaze fixed on the face of the middle-aged man at the very front, saying, “Four Directions County King, you are also a lord of a party, when did you become a sergeant of the Yunwu County Kingdom?”
That’s right.
That one middle-aged man in armour was none other than the Four Square County King.
The dozen or so sergeants standing behind the Sifang County King were also all once first-rate experts of the Sifang County Kingdom.
If Emperor Yi hadn’t ordered the Sifang County King to follow Zhang Tiangui’s orders, how could the Sifang County King be willing to follow Zhang Tiangui’s orders. Of course, he and Zhang Tiangui also had a common enemy, and that was Zhang Ruochen.
Since Zhang Ruochen appeared, the Four Directions County King naturally rushed over immediately.
“Zhang Ruochen, you really have a great life, you actually didn’t die in the Underwater Dragon Palace, but since you’ve come to the Yunwu County Kingdom’s King City, there’s no longer a chance for you to escape.”The Four Directions County King said coldly.
Zhang Ruochen said, “I came back only to settle a score with Zhang Tiangui, I advise you not to get involved.”
“You are referring to the killing of the Yunwu County King? Haha! To tell you the truth, I was also a party to it, the number one expert of your Yunwu County Kingdom, that one royal eunuch, died in my hands. Unbeatable!”The Four Direction County King deliberately said this in order to provoke Zhang Ruochen.
Originally, Zhang Ruochen was too lazy to pay attention to those martial artists of the Four Directions County Kingdom and only wanted to kill Zhang Tiangui alone.
Hearing the words of the Four Directions County King, however, once again triggered Zhang Ruochen’s killing intent.
“Giggle!”
A cold and chilly true qi emanated out from Zhang Ruochen’s body, and on the ground, it condensed into a thick cold ice that kept spreading into the distance.
“Angry at this?”
The Four Direction County King laughed, “I haven’t told you yet that your grandfather, that Heavenly Extremity Realm expert of the Lin Family, was also killed by me. I chopped off his head with just one palm strike. The top experts of your Yunwu County Kingdom are all too weak!”
“Haha!”
Those soldiers behind the Four Direction County King all laughed.
“Since that’s the case, you will have to pay a heavy price for the offence you committed.”Zhang Ruochen said in a cold voice.
Those martial artists of the Four Direction County King let out another laugh as if they had heard the funniest joke.
“Zhang Ruochen, you really think you are so powerful, with the County King and Elder Jin here, do you still want to take revenge?”A martial artist from the Four Directions County Kingdom in the middle stage of the Heavenly Extreme Realm laughed.
His name was Wang Jin Yi, a great disciple of the Sifang County King, and once a great general of the Sifang County over sitting on one side.
