Xu Longyi was still a little disbelieving, thinking that he was hallucinating, and asked again, “Really?”
Zhang Ruochen was a little impatient, his eyes sank as he said, “If you don’t leave, I’m afraid I’m going to change my mind.”
Sensing the cold aura on Zhang Ruochen’s body, Xu Longyi no longer stayed and immediately unfolded his stance and leapt up, landing on top of the pavilion next to the street.
“Swish!”
Then, with a few more dodges, he completely disappeared.
“Amitabha!”
Monk Lidi, carrying the huge blade that was contained in a knife box, walked out and stood not far from Zhang Ruochen, revealing a naive smile.
Seeing Monk Standing Ground was like seeing a plague, Zhang Ruochen’s brows furrowed as he immediately unfolded his stance and rushed in the direction of the Market Realm Ferry.
Monk Standing Ground executed a profound Buddhist Body Technique and chased after Zhang Ruochen without slowing down, like a piece of cowhide candy, surprisingly really pestering Zhang Ruochen.
The Ten Thousand Realms Tavern, a more ornate other garden.
Xu Sheng Clan’s heir “Xu Hai”, the “Green-robed Star Envoy” of the Black Market’s Hall of One, Ghost Sage’s third disciple “Yin Wu Chang”, and dozens of Evil Dao martial practitioners were all gathered here, standing by the edge of a pond.They were all gathered here, standing on the edge of a pond.
Whether it was Xu Hai or those Evil Dao martial practitioners, all of them were staring at Xu Longyi, who had just returned, with a strange look in their eyes.
Xu Hai’s eyes, somewhat cold and sharp, said, “Did Zhang Ruochen really tell you that he’s going to the Xuanwu Market Realm, and moreover, today?”
Xu Longyi sensed that the atmosphere was a bit off, but, still, he said stiffly, “That’s right. He also said that if you want to kill him, or if you want to rescue the Orange Moon Star Ambassador, you must not miss this opportunity.”
Xu Hai took three steps forward and stood in front of Xu Longyi, saying, “You didn’t tell him the secret of the alliance between the Xu Sacred Sect Clan and the Black Market, did you?
From Xu Hai’s body, a powerful oppressive force emanated, and even the air seemed to turn solid and stop flowing.
Xu Longyi felt as if there was a huge mountain that was pressing down on him, and he hurriedly said, ”No, no. How could I possibly tell him such a confidential matter?”
“Is that so?”
Xu Hai sneered and said, “Do you take me for an idiot? If you hadn’t told him, would he have released you back? The way I see it, you’re already his now!”
Xu Longyi was so scared that his face turned pale, his legs went limp, and with a thud, he knelt on the ground, saying in a trembling voice, “Gong Gongzi, please believe me, I would never dare to betray the sect ah”
Xu Hai struck the top of Xu Longyi’s head with a palm, and with a snap, Xu Longyi’s head cracked open with four bloody slits, spreading all the way from the top of his head to his neck.
Crimson blood, gurgling out from the blood slits, dyed the robes on Xu Longyi’s body blood red.
Xu Hai retracted his palm, and from his sleeve, he took out a white silk scarf, wiping the blood from his hand dry, and laughed, “I failed to control my subordinates, making Brother Yin and Lord Green-robed Star Envoy laugh!”
The Green-robed Star Envoy cackled, “All of us can see that Xu Longyi has been subdued by Zhang Ruochen. Zhang Ruochen should have already set up a trap, that’s why he sent Xu Longyi to lure us to the Xuanwu Ruins Realm, wanting to wipe us out.”
Xu Hai snorted coldly and said, “Zhang Ruochen is still a bit too tender, using such low-level tactics to deal with us, do you really think that we are all stupid? However, since Zhang Ruochen has let slip that he wants to go to the Xuanwu Market Realm, it is indeed an opportunity for us. Shall we, shall we use it as a trick?”
The green-robed Star Envoy thought for a moment and said, “Wait a little longer, Zhang Ruochen isn’t that easy to deal with, we mustn’t take this lightly.”
Just at this moment, an evil martial artist wearing a black robe with a mask on his face walked in quickly from outside and said, “Reporting to Star Envoy, just now, a disciple from the Blood Cloud Sect rushed to report that Zhang Ruochen had gone to the Market Realm Ferry, and had already filed a record at the Ministry of Military Affairs, and was about to head to the Market Realm Battlefield in the Xuanwu Market Realm at the very moment.”
The green-robed Star Envoy’s expression twitched as he asked, “How many people did he bring with him?”
“Only him.”
The green-robed Star Envoy was slightly stunned and said, “Sure it’s just him?”
That one Evil Dao martial artist said, “My subordinate has already checked, there is only one person, Zhang Ruochen, and moreover, has already boarded the ship heading to the Xuanwu Market Realm. All the forces that were friends with Zhang Ruochen have also checked, and the Sacred Academy, Chen Clan, and Silver Hollow Mercenary Corps have not set up their manpower on the ship. Therefore, Zhang Ruochen is indeed alone, travelling to the Xuanwu Market Realm.”
Xu Hai couldn’t help but glance towards Xu Longyi’s corpse, and said in his heart, “Could it be that he killed the wrong person?
However, even if he had killed the wrong person, Xu Hai did not blame himself in the slightest.
Xu Hai only felt that Zhang Ruochen was too cunning, deliberately letting Xu Longyi back, and deliberately asking Xu Longyi to help carry the message, and it was precisely because of this that he was misled, and only then did he kill Xu Longyi with a single slap.
Therefore, he placed the death of Xu Longyi on Zhang Ruochen as well.
Xu Hai’s eyes chilled as he said in a cold voice, “Zhang Ruochen is too conceited to actually dare to go to the Xuanwu Market Realm alone.”
The green-robed Star Envoy let out a loud laugh, “After all, Zhang Ruochen is just a martial artist who came out of a small place, and all of a sudden, he became the king of the younger generation, and won the first place on the Heavenly Ranking, and his fame has moved around the world, so it’s inevitable that he would become complacent and his heart would swell.”
Xu Hai also laughed and said, “I thought that Zhang Ruochen was someone who had no weaknesses at all, but I didn’t expect that he would be so arrogant. Does he think that with just his own strength, he can fight against the Xu Sheng Sect Valves and the Black Market?”
“Since he’s so arrogant, then let’s teach him a good lesson, and make sure to let him know clearly that one must keep a low profile.”The green-robed Star Envoy laughed hoarsely.
Xu Hai led the three cultivators of the Fish Dragon Realm, while the Green-robed Star Envoy and the third disciple of the Ghost Sage, Yin Wu Chang, also led the evil experts of the Black Market towards the Market Realm Ferry.
The Xuanwu Ruins Realm, was a top-level medium Ruins Realm, where the territory was vast and dangerous, and countless powerful Ruins Realm natives survived.
The war between the Kunlun Realm and the Xuanwu Ruins Realm had been stalemated for one hundred and twenty years, but the Xuanwu Ruins Realm had still not been completely captured.
It was said that the Xuanwu Ruins Realm possessed a Saint level Indigenous Monarch who was quite powerful, and even some Half-Saints from the Kunlun Realm were killed by him.
At this moment, the Ruin Realm ship, had not yet sailed.
Zhang Ruochen stood on the deck, holding a booklet in his hands, which outlined a map of some of the hells of the Xuanwu Market Realm, as well as some explanations about the indigenous beings of the Xuanwu Market Realm.
This was something that Zhang Ruochen had spent three Spirit Crystals to buy from a young Market Realm Warrior at the Market Realm Ferry.
The Standing Monk followed Zhang Ruochen not far away, still carrying his sword and sitting on the ground, as motionless as a rock or a withered tree.
“Worthy of being a Medium Market Realm, there are actually Saint level natives. It seems that this time when we go to the Xuanwu Ruins Realm, we must be more careful, in case we are targeted by a certain Half-Saint level indigenous, then we will surely die!”
Zhang Ruochen closed the scroll and put it away.
He had already memorised all the contents on the scroll.
Zhang Ruochen sensed that there were gazes behind him, so he turned around and glanced towards those Market Realm warriors, then, retracting his gaze, he mumbled to himself, “I can’t believe that so many people have followed me here, it seems that I’ve really turned into a fragrant bun now, and anyone would want to take a bite of it.”
On top of this single vessel, there were a total of more than six thousand Market Realm warriors, with the weakest cultivation being at the early stage of the Heavenly Extremity Realm, and amongst them, one thirtieth of the Market Realm warriors had even reached the Fish Dragon Realm.
In other words, just on top of this one ship, there were close to two hundred Fish Dragon Realm cultivators.
Zhang Ruochen was able to sense that at least fifty of these Fish Dragon Realm Market Realm warriors had their attention on him. Without a doubt, all of these people, for sure, were here for him.
This was still only the Fish Dragon Realm’s Market Realm warriors, among those Heavenly Extremity Realm’s Market Realm warriors, it was estimated that there were even more of them, who also held the same purpose.
Some of them, it should be for the Dragon Pearl and Sacred Sword, while others, it was estimated, were for the Xuanwu’s inheritance.
“It seems that this trip to the Xuanwu Market Realm is truly a crisis.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and shook his head, although there were many difficulties, he was not the slightest bit afraid.
Whether it was for the purpose of impacting the Supreme Extreme Realm or searching for the Xuanwu Inheritance, he was definitely going to the Xuanwu Ruins Realm. Of course, Zhang Ruochen was not someone who was adventurous, much less arrogant. Since he dared to go, he naturally had the certainty of getting away.
Right at this moment, there were two more groups of people, boarding the ship.
These two groups of people, the leaders of which Zhang Ruochen recognised, were none other than Xu Hai of the Xu Sheng Sect Clan and the green-robed Star Envoy of the Black Market One Piece Hall.
“They really did come after all!”Zhang Ruochen said.
Xu Hai brought three cultivators of the Fish Dragon Realm with him, boarded the ship, and walked over in Zhang Ruochen’s direction, standing not far from Zhang Ruochen’s left side, but without the intention of immediately having to make a move.
Xu Hai acted as if he didn’t know Zhang Ruochen, only exchanging low voices with the three Fish Dragon Realm cultivators, glancing in Zhang Ruochen’s direction from time to time.
Unlike Xu Hai, the arrival of the green-robed Star Envoy caused quite a shock on top of the ship.
Everyone knew that Zhang Ruochen had a grudge against the Black Market One Piece Hall.
The green-robed Star Envoy’s appearance was an extraordinary signal.
As such, other cultivators who wanted to hit on Zhang Ruochen’s idea would have to retreat. After all, the Black Market was too powerful, and ordinary people simply didn’t dare to call their bluff.
The green-robed Star Envoy only brought two people with him, a man and a woman.
The one man was none other than the third disciple of the Ghost Saint, Yin Wu Chang.
The man was the third disciple of the Ghost Sage, Yin Wu Chang. Yin Wu Chang was quite elegant, but his skin was very white, as if he had been living in a place where the sun didn’t shine for many years, giving off an eerie and horrifying feeling.
That woman, named “Iron Lady”, was the tenth assassin trained by the Blood Cloud Sect.
Her figure was quite tall, and her entire body was dressed in black leather armour, which appeared particularly taut, highlighting her plump breasts and hips, and her supple and slender legs. Under her feet, she wore a pair of metal iron boots, which made a “thumping” sound every time she took a step.
The Iron Maiden wore a black iron mask on her face, covering her eyes and nose, and a Xuan cloth cloak hung on her shoulders, making her look very heroic and capable, and one could tell at a glance that she was a top expert who had killed countless people.
Yin Wu Chang walked straight towards Zhang Ruochen, not even hiding the hostility on her body as she said, “Zhang Ruochen, where did you hide my senior sister?”
The Orange Moon Star Envoy was the fourth disciple of the Ghost Sage, and naturally, Yin Wu Chang’s senior sister.
Upon learning that Zhang Ruochen had travelled alone to the Xuanwu Market Realm, Yin Wushang immediately went to where Zhang Ruochen was residing, however, he did not find the Orange Moon Star Envoy at all.
Therefore, Yin Wu Chang could only follow the green-robed Star Envoy and came to the Market Realm Ferry, wanting to ask Zhang Ruochen for an answer from his mouth.
Zhang Ruochen appeared calm and said, “Who are you? And who is your senior sister?”
“I am the Ghost Saint’s heir, Yin Wu Chang. Now, you should know who my senior sister is, right?”Yin Wu Chang said.
Zhang Ruochen said, “So you’re looking for the Orange Moon Star Envoy, but unfortunately, the Orange Moon Star Envoy has already submitted to me, and in the future, I’m afraid that she won’t return to the Black Market.”
“What did you say?”
Yin Wu Chang’s eyes, turned crimson, and the rage within his body, caused his hands to burn.
When he arrived at the Chaotic Ten Thousand Realms Mountain, Yin Wu Chang heard the crowd talk about how Zhang Ruochen had mistreated his senior sister by various means, and had even tempered his senior sister into a plaything on the bed.
Originally, he was still a bit unconvinced, but after hearing what Zhang Ruochen had just said, he finally believed it.
If not, if Zhang Ruochen had used despicable means and abused his senior sister, how could she submit to him?
Zhang Ruochen didn’t expect Yin Wushang to be so angry, and was a bit surprised in his heart, but Zhang Ruochen had the rare opportunity to think about the reason for this, and just said indifferently, “The Market Realm Ferry is also still considered the boundary of the Chaos Ten Thousand Realms Mountain, so I would advise you, it would be best not to make a move here.”
The green-robed Star Envoy was a little worried that Yin Wu Chang would not be able to restrain his anger and lose his mind, so he immediately rushed up and stopped Yin Wu Chang, saying, “Brother Yin, even if you want to kill him, there is no rush. Wait until we reach the Xuanwu Ruins Realm, then we’ll slowly clean him up.”
Yin Wu Chang eventually restrained himself and retreated for the time being.
Not long after, under the escort of a Fish Dragon Ninth Transformation Military General, the formation on the Ruin Realm Ship slowly operated, forming an egg-shaped light shield that wrapped the ship in the centre.
The Market Realm Ship set sail and flew towards the Xuanwu Market Realm.
Note: Military Merit Value: for the challenges of the Heaven Rank Battle Stage, the military merit value could not be stacked, and could only replace the military merit value of a highly ranked Heaven Rank martial artist. Therefore, Zhang Ruochen’s achievement of reaching number one on the Heavenly Ranking List only replaced Huang Shenyi’s military merit value. His own military merit value could not be stacked on top of it.
