With one of his hands, Zhang Ruochen pressed on Ao Xinyan’s body, and with the other hand, he split two fingers.
Under the effect of the Holy Dragon Qi, a tiny golden dragon scale grew above the skin of the two fingers, which quickly stretched out and clamped the tip of the Dragon Marked Aqua Sword.
Afterwards, his fingers flicked.
A powerful forceful qi, from the tip of his finger, travelled to the sword, and from the sword, to the Wei Family Boss’s arm.
“Giggle! ”
The tiger’s mouth of the Wei Family Boss’s right hand cracked, and all five fingers looked like they had been shattered, and the Dragon Marked Aqua Sword fell from his hand.
The Wei Family Boss was also worthy of being a 《Tian Ranking》 martial artist with rich combat experience, and after being knocked back, he did not make any stops and struck the Falling Phoenix Needle out quickly again, striking at Zhang Ruochen’s vest.
Zhang Ruochen used a roll of his True Qi to roll up the Dragon-Tattooed Aqua Sword on the ground, cupping it in his hand, and with a wave of his arm, a sword Qi flew out.
“Splat!”
The sword qi sent the Falling Phoenix Needle flying backwards and back, counterattacking the Wei Clan Boss’s brow, leaving a tiny bloody hole that flew out of the back of his head and landed on top of the wooden pillar.
On the tip of the needle, blood was still dripping.
The Wei Family Boss held his head with both hands and knelt on the ground, roaring in pain.
It didn’t take long for his head to turn blue, bleeding from all seven holes as he died on the spot.
Seeing the horrifying appearance of the Wei Family Boss as he died, Ao Xin Yan sucked in a breath of cold air, secretly thankful that Zhang Ruochen had stepped in to help her refine the toxin, otherwise, she would be the one who would be collapsing on the ground right now.
Although, on Ao Xin Yan’s face, she still had an ungrateful look.
However, in her heart, she was still somewhat grateful to Zhang Ruochen.
The Holy Dragon Qi, refined most of the toxins in Ao Xin Yan’s body, before Zhang Ruochen withdrew his palm.
“Big brother, big brother ……”
Seeing the dead Wei Family Boss, the Wei Family Second and Wei Family Fourth were instantly scared pale and immediately knelt down in front of the Red Lust Star Envoy, begging bitterly, “Lord Red Lust Star Envoy, you must avenge our Big Brother.”
The Red Lust Star Envoy’s red lips hooked as he laughed evilly, “That’s an enemy that your four Wei Family brothers have incurred, what’s it got to do with me? Since Big Brother Wei is already dead, now, it’s your two’s turn! As long as you kill Zhang Ruochen, the Holy Sword and the beauty, both belong to you.”
Having seen Zhang Ruochen’s terrifying strength, how could the second and fourth Wei Family members dare to fight Zhang Ruochen?
The two of them cried out and said, “My lord, Zhang Ruochen’s strength is too strong, what’s the difference between us going to deal with him and sending him to his death?”
The Red Desire Star Envoy put away his smile and his face chilled as he said, “Since that’s the case, what’s the point of keeping you two losers?”
The Red Desire Star Envoy stretched out a slender jade hand and waved it in front of the eyes of the Wei Clan’s Oldest Two and the Wei Clan’s Oldest Four, then, raised it upwards.
“Oo…… er…… help……”
The Wei Family’s Oldest Two and the Wei Family’s Oldest Four, suddenly wanted to go crazy, strangling each other’s necks as hard as they could.
In the end, both of their necks became only as thin as a wine glass, and with blood flowing from the corners of their mouths, they collapsed to the ground in unison.
The Wei Clan’s second and Wei Clan’s fourth, died in such a bizarre manner that they actually strangled each other to death, causing the martial artists in the Nebula Hall to all feel chills in their vests as they stared at the Red Desire Star Envoy in horror.
This demoness, was simply more terrifying than a devil.
Zhang Ruochen knew that the Red Desire Star Envoy was using an illusionary technique, causing the Wei Family’s Second and Wei Family’s Fourth to hallucinate before they went crazy and strangled each other to death.
It had to be said that people who practised illusion arts were indeed quite terrifying.
No matter how high your cultivation level was, as long as your mental power was inferior to that of the Red Lust Star Envoy, once you were caught in her illusions, it would be quite dangerous.
Zhang Ruochen could tell that the Red Desire Star Envoy’s spiritual power was already very close to the 40th rank.
Even many cultivators of the Fish Dragon Realm were far from being able to compare to her in terms of spiritual power.
In the Nebula Lobby, an explosive shout rang out, “Daring, the Imperial Court’s Ministry of War has a clear decree that anyone who dares to kill someone in the Chaos Ten Thousand Boundaries Mountain will be dealt with severely.”
“Ta-da!”
A series of footsteps sounded.
Immediately after, Steward Qi of the Ten Thousand Realms Tavern, leading four warriors in military armour, walked in from outside.
“Steward Qi has come!”
“Steward Qi has finally come!”
……
Zhang Ruochen glanced towards that one Steward Qi, this person, who appeared to be in his forties, was wearing military armour, with sword brows and eagle eyes, and a stout figure, clearly a formidable figure.
Subsequently, Zhang Ruochen glanced at the four warriors in military armour following Steward Qi, and in his heart, he said, “No wonder Steward Qi was able to help martial artists smuggle themselves into the Wood Essence Market Realm, so it turns out, he himself is a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Military Affairs.
The Red Desire Star Envoy stood up and let out a silver bell-like laughter, saying, ”Everyone can see that the Wei Family’s Elder was strangled to death by the Wei Family’s Elder, the Wei Family’s Elder was strangled to death by the Wei Family’s Elder, and it doesn’t have anything to do with me. Steward Qi, you can’t accuse people wrongly. People are quite the rule-abiding people.”
Steward Qi stared towards the Red Desire Star Envoy, and then, glancing at the eighteen glazed knights, he cursed bad luck in his heart. How was it that the people from the Black Market One Piece Hall also had to smuggle themselves to the Wood Essence Market Realm?
Although the imperial court had always supported the Martial Market Money Changers and suppressed the black market. However, that was in the Kunlun Realm, and this was the Chaotic Ten Thousand Realms Mountain.
Empress Chi Yao has a decree: as long as one is willing to go to the Market Realm battlefield to open up territory for mankind, whether they are martial artists from the Black Market or the Moon Worshipping Demon Cult, they can all come to the Mountain of Chaos, and the Ministry of Military Affairs shall not make things difficult.
Although Steward Qi wasn’t afraid of the Red Desire Star Envoy, he didn’t dare to offend the Black Market One Piece Hall too much. Therefore, he only mentioned it and said no more.
Afterwards, his gaze, then stared at the Wei Family Boss’s corpse and asked, “And who killed the Wei Family Boss?”
Zhang Ruochen calmly said, “The Wei Family Boss died after being hit by his own Falling Phoenix Needle.”
Steward Qi’s gaze looked over towards Zhang Ruochen.
Before entering the gate, Steward Qi already had a general understanding of what happened inside. Therefore, he also knew Zhang Ruochen’s identity, a Saint of the Sacred Academy and a disciple of the Xuan Gui Sword Saint.
Although Steward Qi was an official of the Ministry of War and had the imperial court as his backer, but, when he met the disciple of the Sword Saint, he still had to be polite. There was no need to offend the other party for the sake of a dead man.
In the end, Steward Qi had no choice but to order someone to carry out the bodies of the three Wei family brothers. Of course, the Wei Family’s oldest three, who had fainted earlier, was also carried away.
Steward Qi’s face, which was somewhat gloomy, was clearly in a bad mood as he said, “This is the Ten Thousand Realms Tavern, and as you have come here, I believe that you should also understand the identity of our family’s boss, and even more so, you should also understand how much energy our boss has.”
“Whether it’s a Saint from the Holy Academy or an evil martial artist from the Black Market One Piece Hall, as long as you come to the Chaotic Ten Thousand Boundaries Mountain and come to the Ten Thousand Realms Tavern, then you have to follow the rules of our Ten Thousand Realms Tavern. If someone deliberately breaks the rules, no matter who it is, they shouldn’t have a good ending.”
At this moment, even the Red Desire Star Envoy had a gloomy expression and did not say much.
Obviously, even with her status, she did not dare to offend the Ten Thousand Realms Tavern too much.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen felt a faint fragrant breeze, drifting in from afar, so he turned his gaze in the direction of the window.
Only to see that an orange-white slender shadow flew in through the window, coalescing into a veiled woman who was none other than the Orange Moon Star Envoy of the Black Market One Piece Hall.
The Orange Moon Star Envoy’s pair of beautiful eyes, exposed on the outside of the veil, met Zhang Ruochen’s gaze for a moment.
She then walked towards the Red Lust Star Envoy and converged.
“The Red Desire Star Envoy and the Orange Moon Star Envoy, as well as the eighteen Liuli Knights, actually came to the Chaotic Ten Thousand Boundaries Mountain at the same time, so it seems that their target is really me.”
Zhang Ruochen was secretly on guard.
With just one Red Lust Star Envoy, Zhang Ruochen could still deal with it. If another Orange Moon Star Envoy was added, it would be a bit troublesome to deal with.
Most of all, Zhang Ruochen wasn’t sure just how many experts the Black Market One Piece Hall had dispatched?
Only the Red Desire Star Envoy and the Orange Moon Star Envoy arrived?
Steward Qi continued, ”The warships heading to the Wood Essence Market Realm will depart tomorrow morning. Cultivators who have reached the Fish Dragon Realm, please leave on your own. Although we, the Ten Thousand Realms Tavern, can help you sneak across, we will not break the rules of the First Central Empire.”
The Ten Thousand Realms Tavern could help martial artists sneak into some protected market realms or market realms under the control of a certain Saint Sect, and as long as they didn’t do too much, the Ministry of Military Affairs would only turn a blind eye even if they found out.
However, it was different when the Ten Thousand Realms Tavern smuggled cultivators from the Fish Dragon Realm into the Wood Essence Market Realm.
In case, the cultivators of the Fish Dragon Realm, wreaked havoc on the Wood Essence Market Realm, they would definitely be discovered by the higher-ups of the Ministry of War, and at that time, even the Ten Thousand Realms Tavern would be out of luck.
Steward Qi continued, ”After going to the Wood Essence Ruins Realm, you guys can stay there for as long as you want, or stay there forever. At the beginning of every month, the ships of the Ten Thousand Realms Tavern will, at a specific time, go forward to a specific location in the Wood Essence Market Realm. Those who wish to leave the Wood Essence Ruins Realm need only go to the specific location and wait, and the ship will be able to pick you back up.”
“Now, those who want to go to the Wood Essence Ruin Realm can come to me to open and buy a boat ticket. One boat ticket, ten thousand spirit crystals.”
As soon as Steward Qi’s words fell, someone immediately exclaimed, “Ten thousand spirit crystals for a boat ticket, that’s too expensive!”
Steward Qi raised his voice, “If you can’t afford it, get out.”
Ten thousand spirit crystals, only able to buy a single ticket, was indeed ridiculously expensive.
Originally, there were quite a few people, who wanted to venture to the Wood Essence Market Realm, but when they heard the price of the ticket, they began to back out. In the end, after weighing the pros and cons, a portion of them left.
“I’ll buy three boat tickets, no need to look!”
Ao Xin Yan walked over and took out a turquoise coloured piece of extremely high grade spirit crystal and handed it over to Steward Qi.
That piece of extreme grade water attribute spirit crystal was worth at least 50,000 ordinary spirit crystals.
A smile appeared on Steward Qi’s face, and he painfully accepted the Spirit Crystal, and then, handed over the three boat tickets to Ao Xin Yan.
After Ao Xin Yan returned, she placed two of the boat tickets, onto the table, and said to Zhang Ruochen, “You helped me refine the toxin earlier, and I bought the boat tickets for you, now, we’re even!”
