“The Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect was seriously injured by an expert of the Black Market how could this be?”
Zhang Ruochen’s face changed, and his heart, which was originally ancient and unperturbed, was actually a little disturbed.
Without any hesitation, under the Red Desire Star Envoy’s astonished gaze, Zhang Ruochen turned around and marched out of the gate, his footsteps were extremely fast and he rushed out of the Sacred Willow Hall in almost an instant.
What do you mean?
The Red Desire Star Envoy’s brows furrowed as he turned into a red stream of light and chased after him, stopping Zhang Ruochen, saying, “Where are you going?”
“I’m going out.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were sunken as if he was pondering something.
There was no need to guess that his leaving the Red Willow Villa at this time was definitely related to the Demon Sect’s Holy Maiden, acting too nervous and obvious, and actually not even hiding it.
How could the Red Desire Star Envoy know that Zhang Ruochen had stayed at the Red Willow Villa solely for the purpose of killing Emperor Yi? But how could killing Emperor Yi be as important as Senior Sister Duanmu’s life?
The Red Lust Star Envoy said somewhat huffily, “You’re going to save the Holy Maiden of the Devil Cult? Are you from the Devil Cult?”
Zhang Ruochen locked gazes with the Red Lust Star Envoy, looking very determined as he said, “It’s true that I’m going to save the Demon Sect’s Holy Maiden, but I’m not a member of the Demon Sect. Lord Star Envoy, this is my personal matter, so I hope you won’t meddle in it.”
“Swish!”
Executing the Thunder Running Technique, Zhang Ruochen transformed into a lightning silhouette, passing through the Red Lust Star Envoy’s left side and rushing out, leaving the Red Willow Villa.
The Red Lust Star Envoy would never believe that Zhang Ruochen had only met with the Demon Sect’s Holy Maiden as simple as that.
Looking at Zhang Ruochen’s resolute departing figure, for some reason, the Red Lust Star Envoy’s heart turned out to be quite irritated.
She had personally enthroned the Great Protector, and she had also trusted and favoured him in a hundred ways. How could he abandon her at such a critical moment?
Could it be that the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect was more important than her?
The Red Desire Star Envoy clenched his silver teeth, his heart was quite unwilling and unusually uncomfortable.
“Lord Star Envoy, the Great Protector left a letter for me to pass on to you.”
A tall Evil Dao cultivator, who walked quickly from afar, knelt down on one knee and presented a letter engraved on a jade stone to the Red Desire Star Envoy.
The Red Lust Star Envoy immediately gathered his emotions, took the jade letter over, and began to examine it.
“By stationing yourself at the Red Willow Villa, you will always be in the clear and can only be pressed by Emperor Yi. Only by abandoning the Red Willow Villa will you be able to turn from the light to the dark, and only then will you have a chance to take the initiative. I’m going to the Falling God Mountain Ridge now, not only to save the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect, but also to deal with the Green Clothed Star Envoy and the Ice Demon. If you figure it out, you can come to me at the Falling God Mountain Ridge and help me, or there may be an opportunity to turn defeat into victory.”
After reading the contents of the jade book, the Red Desire Star Envoy closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down, pondering for a long time before reopening his eyes, as if he had finally made up his mind, and said, “I’ll just trust you one more time.”
The Red Desire Star Envoy immediately began to gather her men, gathering together the group of Evil Dao cultivators who were loyal to her, and left the Red Willow Villa, rushing to the Falling God Mountain Range.
When he rushed out of the Red Willow Villa, Zhang Ruochen immediately mobilised his spiritual power and soared off the ground, flying in the direction of the Fallen God Mountain Range.
After spending only half a day, Zhang Ruochen rushed to the outskirts of the God Fall Mountain Range.
The area where the God Fall Mountain Range was located was quite vast, with peaks rising up and jungles densely covering an unknown number of thousands of miles, trying to find a person was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Zhang Ruochen harnessed the spiritual qi of heaven and earth and hung in mid-air three feet above the ground, closing his eyes and bringing his hands together, his spiritual energy transformed into grains of light dots that rushed out from his body and flew in all directions, enveloping the territory of a thousand miles in all directions.
It was as if the spiritual energy had transformed into thousands of pairs of eyes, causing the primordial ancient forest in a radius of a thousand miles to gradually become clear, with savage beasts, savage fowls, human beings, fishes and insects, all presenting themselves in his mind’s eye.
A few moments later, Zhang Ruochen discovered a trace left behind by a battle.
“East, six hundred miles away.”
With a swish, Zhang Ruochen executed Spatial Shift and disappeared from his spot, rushing over as fast as he could.
Before long, Zhang Ruochen reached six hundred miles away.
It was a dense primordial forest that was completely covered by sky-high trees. But now, at a glance, dozens of miles in every direction were filled with white frost, abnormally cold, and the trees, flowers, grass, and the ground were completely covered in a thick layer of cold ice.
“Snap!”
Zhang Ruochen simply used his finger to point on the trunk of a tree, and a maple tree that was more than twenty feet tall immediately crumbled, turning into a fragment of ice crystals that collapsed and piled up into a small mountain of ice.
“What a powerful Cold Ice Qi, only a forty-fourth rank Ice Mental Power Master can cause such a terrifying destructive force.”
Zhang Ruochen sucked in a breath of cool air and followed the battle traces as he continued to chase after them, his already hanging heart becoming even more tense.
The presence of a forty-fourth rank Ice Mental Power Master was definitely a sign of danger.
From daytime, chasing until dark, Zhang Ruochen had completely entered the depths of the Falling God Mountain Range.
In the mountain range, powerful savage beast figures could be seen everywhere, as well as towering peaks, poisonous valleys filled with miasma, and bottomless cliffs, giving off an aura of boundless recklessness.
Late at night, Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power suddenly sensed an abnormal energy fluctuation, so he immediately stopped and landed on the top of a treacherous mountain peak.
“Heavenly Eye, open.”
In the centre of his brow, a crack of white light appeared, and a vertical eye emerged, shooting out a three-foot-long white light that peered down at the reckless earth below.
“What kind of person is opening the eye of heaven?”
A hundred miles away, a cold cry rang out.
A nine-metre tall Yeti warrior, carrying a three-foot long war spear and standing on the back of a griffin, flew up from the dark forest.
Yeti, also known as “Ice and Snow Giants”, lived in the far north and had innate divine power. An adult Yeti warrior, even without cultivation techniques, could burst out hundreds of thousands of jin of strength, and could be called a humanoid savage beast.
The Snowman Warrior in front of him clearly cultivated profound techniques, wearing white battle armour, and the battle spear in his hand was as thick as a bowl’s mouth, with arcane inscriptions carved on its surface.
Zhang Ruochen used his Heavenly Eyes and glanced towards the ice and snow giant, saying, “Fish Dragon Seventh Transformation’s cultivation level.”
Seeing that the other party was able to open the Heaven’s Eye, he was obviously a Spiritual Power Master, and not wanting to offend him too much, the Snowman Warrior chided, “The Black Market One Piece Hall is here to do business, and the 3,000 miles in the vicinity has been designated as a restricted area, so idle people, leave at once.”
The name of the Black Market One Piece Hall was already as loud as thunder, not to mention that it was still in the territory of the Eastern Region Evil Land, who would dare to go against them?
Under normal circumstances, the other party would naturally retreat immediately.
However, Zhang Ruochen had no intention of leaving and instead said, “You’re from the Black Market One Piece Hall? It just so happens that you are the ones I’m looking for.”
“Wind Thunder Finger.”
Zhang Ruochen struck first, his fingertips condensed the power of wind and thunder and attacked the snowman warrior in a hurry.
According to Zhang Ruochen’s plan, he would first take down the Snowman Warrior, and then slowly torture Sister Duanmu’s whereabouts from his mouth.
Although the Snowman Warrior was at the cultivation level of the Fish Dragon Seventh Transformation, it had the advantage of a physical body, and was strong enough to cross a realm to fight with someone, erupting with the power of the peak of the Fish Dragon Eighth Transformation.
“What great guts.”
The snowman warrior bellowed, his eyes showing a ferocious light as he thrust his arms forward and struck the spear out.
The inscriptions on the spear sprouted a greenish-coloured light that rapidly rotated around the spear shaft, erupting a cold and icy aura that surprisingly blocked the power of the Wind and Thunder Finger.
Zhang Ruochen did not clash hard with the Yeti Warrior, his body was like lightning as he quickly flickered and changed his orientation, appearing in front of the Yeti Warrior’s close proximity.
“Nine Chopping Electric Blades.”
With a wave of his arm forward, he formed nine ten-metre-long knife-shaped lightning arcs, which were like waves of water, impacting layer by layer, chopping at the Snowman Warrior’s neck.
The Snowman Warrior’s face changed in shock as he immediately put his spear up and blocked it in front of his body to ward off the spell Zhang Ruochen had struck.
“Rumble!”
A series of nine electric blades with increasing power finally pierced through the Snowman Warrior’s Holy Light Deity. The last electric blade that struck his body made a giggling sound, leaving a scorched black wound.
A muffled sound came out of the Snowman Warrior’s mouth, a burning pain came from his chest, his throat was fishy and sweet, and a mouthful of blood recoiled from his throat and spewed out of his mouth.
When the Yeti Warrior steadied himself and was about to counterattack, before his eyes, a piercing purple electric light appeared.
It was a shuttle-shaped lightning bolt that rushed out from Zhang Ruochen’s fingertip, the other end pointing at the Snowman Warrior’s brow, and as long as it moved forward a foot, it would be able to pierce through the Snowman Warrior’s skull.
The snowman warrior didn’t dare to move, but only stared coldly at Zhang Ruochen with a pair of big eyes, saying, “Being an enemy of the Black Market One Piece Hall won’t end well.”
“The Black Market One Piece Hall can’t cover the sky with one hand either.”
Zhang Ruochen stood in the void, like a heroic teenage Thunder God, his eyes looking disdainfully, “Tell me where the Demon Sect’s Holy Maiden is? Otherwise, die.”
The Snowman Warrior did not reply to Zhang Ruochen, his gaze glanced towards the northeast and immediately withdrew his eyes.
Zhang Ruochen naturally noticed the change in his demeanour and released his spiritual power, probing towards the northeast.
“Wow!”
In the northeast direction, at the bottom of a deep valley, a black smoke rushed out and flew straight up high into the sky, condensing into a black silhouette.
This person, whose entire body was shrouded in black robes, with a white cloud of cold air under his feet, hovered right in the void, standing at the same height as Zhang Ruochen.
“Junior, this place is not where you should be, let go of Yuanban, and I can spare your life and let you go.”The black-robed man’s face was shrouded inside a hood, and only the two green-coloured ghostly flames in his eyes could be seen.
The very moment the black-robed man appeared, the air became abnormally cold, and the water vapour condensed into ice particles that turned into snowflakes and drifted down from the sky.
A cold current poured out, causing Zhang Ruochen to feel a huge pressure.
The black-robed man opposite him gave him a feeling that was simply like a towering snow mountain, cold, tall, and lofty, oppressing him so much that he could hardly catch his breath.
