Ah Le said, “What I cultivate is the Killing Sword Art and the Nine Turns of Life and Death Determination, and I am destined to embark on a path of killing that involves nine deaths and one life. Now that my cultivation has reached the Xuanji Realm, I’ve decided to make a break for the black market.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “The black market is definitely a road of no return for others, but for you, it might be a good way out.”
The power of the black market was also quite huge, spreading all over the world, possessing the strength to fight against the Martial Market Money Bank, Inscription Guild, and Moon Worshipping Demon Sect, and was a gathering place for evil people and outlaws.
“Your Highness the Ninth Prince! Lin Chenyu and Lin Mishan asked a palace maid to send a message to you, saying that the one-month period has come and gone, inviting you to come and watch the battle at the royal family’s martial arts training ground.” Yun’er rushed over somewhat hurriedly and bowed slightly to Zhang Ruochen.
“Oh! The one-month period has arrived so soon? Alright! I’ll go to the Royal Clan’s Martial Arts Training Ground right away.” A few smiles appeared on Zhang Ruochen’s face as he glanced towards Ah Le and found that Ah Le’s expression had not changed in any way, appearing very calm.
Zhang Ruochen nodded slightly and said, “Do you want to go over and take a look together?”
“Good.” Ah Le said.
When Zhang Ruochen, Ah Le, and Yun’er arrived at the royal family’s martial arts training ground, the princes and county lords had already waited in the training ground.
The Lin Family, apart from Lin Chenyu and Lin Mishan, had also brought four guards to the Royal Clan’s Martial Practice Ground.
Seeing Ah Le and Zhang Ruochen walk into the martial practice ground together, all the Lin Family martial artists, including Lin Mishan, were slightly stunned.
“Isn’t that Second Miss’s slave, he actually didn’t die, what a great life.” One of the four guards sneered.
“Even if he didn’t die, so what? His meridians have all been broken, he’s just an invalid.” The other guard said with disdain.
The four guards who followed behind Lin Mishan were the same four who had broken both of Ah Le’s hands and feet outside the Martial Market Fighting Arena.
Originally, they all thought that they had beaten Ah Le to death, but at this moment, they were naturally very surprised to see Ah Le following behind Zhang Ruochen.
Among them, a guard with an eagle-hooked nose, holding a hundred-catty iron rod, stepped out from behind Lin Mishan and chided, “Ah Le, you are Second Miss’s slave, why don’t you kneel down immediately when you see Second Miss?”
Ah Le’s eyes chilled as he glared towards that one guard.
That one guard was only at the late stage of the Yellow Extreme Realm, and when he saw Ah Le’s eyes, his heart went cold.
His meridians are broken, what am I afraid of him for?
That one guard continued, ”What’s wrong? Does a slave still want to turn over a new leaf? Today, I, Lin Zhuo Si, will teach you, a lowly slave, a good lesson on behalf of Second Miss.”
That one guard cupped the iron rod with both hands and swept it out, striking at Dale’s waist.
“Wow!”
There was a flash of sword light.
The head of that one guard flew out from his neck, a three-foot-high column of blood rushing up from his neck.
The headless corpse fell heavily to the ground.
The three guards following Lin Mishan were all stunned, not thinking that Ah Le would actually dare to make a move to kill Lin Zhuo Si.
Moreover, the speed at which he struck was too fast, it was impossible to see how he struck his sword.
Not to mention the three Lin family guards, even Lin Mishan didn’t see Ah Le’s sword move clearly.
Only Lin Chenyu saw it clearly, and a hint of a smile appeared on his face, ”Ah Le, you’re worthy of being our Lin family’s life-taking swordsman, your cultivation is stronger than before, and your sword is faster than before. You’ve reached the Xuanji realm, right?”
Ah Le said, “Young Master Lin, the previous Ah Le was a slave of the Lin family, the current Ah Le, is just Ah Le, and is not half related to the Lin family.”
“Ah Le! You’re too naive! Once a slave, always a slave. If you dare to betray your master, you are going against the regulations of the county and will be executed by lynching.” Lin Mishan said indifferently, “Since you have already broken through the Xuanji realm, return to the Lin family again, as long as you are loyal to the Lin family, there will be no shortage of benefits for you in the future.”
Ah Le’s eyes were very sharp as he said, “Miss Lin, the reason why I agreed to be your slave is because you had saved my life. However, outside of the Martial Market Fighting Arena, you had already beaten the past Ah Le to death. Your saving grace is naturally cancelled out. The present Lok will not be anyone’s slave. If you force me, you will surely die.”
Lin Mishan was so angry that her five fingers trembled, saying, “Against you, someone come ……”
“Cousin, I’ll buy this slave!” Zhang Ruochen walked over towards Lin Mishan and pointed at Ah Le.
Although Lin Mishan was arrogant, however, she wasn’t wrong about one thing, in the Yunwu County Kingdom, if a slave betrayed his master, it was a felony, and he would indeed be subjected to the punishment of lynching.
After Lin Mishan saw Zhang Ruochen, a hint of a smile appeared in her eyes as she said, “Cousin, can I take it as you begging me?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “If you must interpret it that way, it’s not impossible.”
“Good! Since you personally begged me, cousin, as a cousin, how can I not give you face. As long as you give me one million silver coins, I will immediately sell this slave to you.” Lin Mishan’s chin tilted upwards, a faint smile hanging on her face.
A slave at the early Xuanji realm was worth a million silver coins at most. There was no one who would spend a million silver coins to purchase a slave at the early Xuanji Realm. Lin Mishan naturally felt the same way.
The Ninth County Lord immediately said, ”Lin Mishan, why don’t you go and rob? One million silver coins would be enough to purchase a hundred slaves at the early Xuanji Realm!”
Lin Mishan laughed, “If you can’t afford the silver coins, don’t pretend to be a good person. There is a price to pay for being a good person ……”
Zhang Ruochen interrupted Lin Mishan and said, “One million silver coins is indeed a very good price, so it’s settled. Within a month, I will deliver one million silver coins to the Lin Mansion.”
Everyone present, including Lin Mishan, froze.
Spending one million silver coins to buy a lowly slave?
Only a fool would do such a costly thing.
“Ninth Brother ……”
The Ninth County Lord wanted to say something, but Zhang Ruochen blocked her.
Zhang Ruochen stared at Lin Mishan and stretched out a hand, saying, “Cousin, can you hand over the slave deed to me now?”
“Cousin, you are really rich and generous, cousin admires you. One million silver coins, just right for my dowry for marrying His Highness the Seventh Prince, thank you cousin for your generous funding.” Lin Mishan revealed a gorgeous smile as she took out a beast skin deed and handed it to Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen’s face also wore a faint smile as he took the beast skin deed, and after confirming that the name on it was Ah Le, he revolved the true qi in his body and surged it towards his five fingers.
“Boom!”
The Beast Skin Deed Book was shattered by the True Qi and turned into a piece of broken skin the size of a fingernail cap.
The crowd froze once again.
After spending a million silver coins to purchase a lowly slave, he actually damaged the slave deed again. Had the Ninth Prince really gone mad?
Ah Le stared Avray at Zhang Ruochen and said, “In the future, I will pay you back a hundred times over!”
“Snort!”
A guard behind Lin Mishan laughed and said, “A hundred times? Bluffing! One hundred times can be one hundred million silver coins, even if a Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouse accumulates a lifetime’s worth of wealth, there’s no way he’ll have one hundred million silver coins.”
Lin Mishan naturally didn’t believe it either, and only thought that Ah Le was too naive.
Even the Nine Counties Lord shook her head slightly, feeling unworthy of Zhang Ruochen. Even those big families would find it hard to come up with a million silver coins at once.
Her heart sighed, since Ninth Brother had now made a decision, she could only cheapen that b*tch Lin Mishan!
The Ninth County Lord stood in the centre of the martial arts training ground in an outstanding manner, slender and moving with an elegant posture, holding her battle sword and pointing it at Lin Mishan, saying, “Lin Mishan, don’t you dare to be complacent, the one-month period has come and gone, and now I’m formally challenging you.”
Lin Mishan had just obtained a fortune of one million silver coins, her heart was indescribably complacent, plus her cultivation had greatly improved, how could she put the Nine Counties Lord in her eyes?
“Your Highness the Ninth County Lord is really confident, I just don’t know that if you lose to me for the third time later, will you still be as cold and arrogant as you are now?” Lin Mishan laughed.
The Ninth County Lord was confident and laughed, “If you lose at the hands of this County Lord, this County Lord will not let you off so easily.”
Lin Mishan was like a lily untainted by dust, beautiful in the city, her white clothes fluttering as she walked towards the martial arts training ground and stood opposite the Ninth County Lord.
Her eyes glanced towards Zhang Ruochen and said, “Cousin, I want to change the rules, if I win against the Nine County Lord. I don’t want you to apologise to me, I want you to do one thing for me.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “What is it?”
Lin Mishan’s eyes were slightly upturned as she smiled, “I haven’t thought about it yet, so when I do, I will definitely tell you. Don’t worry, you are my cousin, how could I harm you?”
Zhang Ruochen glanced towards the Ninth County Lord and nodded, saying, “I have faith in Ninth Sister, I promise you.”
Hearing Zhang Ruochen’s words, the Ninth County Mistress felt the pressure multiply as she said in her heart, “I have to win, I absolutely can’t lose, and I can’t let that little sl*t Lin Mushan have her way again. With my current cultivation level and the Heavenly River Jade Scripture, it shouldn’t be difficult to win against Lin Mashan.
Nine County Lord naturally understood the importance of this battle, in the recent month, she had taken out all her savings to buy cultivation resources, and her cultivation had skyrocketed.
“Ninth brother, don’t worry, ninth sister will definitely not let you down.” A hint of a smile appeared in the Ninth County Lord’s beautiful eyes as she passed a mysterious look towards Zhang Ruochen.
“This look? Could it be that she has already successfully cultivated the first level of the Heavenly River Jade Scripture?” Zhang Ruochen was slightly surprised.
“Cut the crap, Nine County Lord, you are destined to lose to me again today.”
Lin Mishan snorted coldly, and with a swish, she drew out her Starglow Treasure Sword and stabbed it towards the Ninth County Lord.
As soon as the sword was released, it dragged out a half a zhang long sword light, emitting an ear-piercing sword sound.
“Yellow Extreme Realm Grand Circle.” Zhang Ruochen’s brows frowned slightly. As soon as Lin Mishan released her sword, Zhang Ruochen could tell her martial realm.
Her cultivation had also risen too quickly, in just one month, she had broken through from the Yellow Extreme Realm Great Extreme Position to the Yellow Extreme Realm Great Circle, if she hadn’t taken an elixir, it would be impossible for her to have such a cultivation speed.
The third prince shook his head, revealing a hint of a smile and said, “Lin Mishan’s cultivation has reached the Great Circle of the Yellow Extreme Realm, this is the end, the ninth sister will definitely lose.”
“If the ninth sister loses, won’t the ninth brother have to do one thing for Lin Mashan? If Lin Mashan makes him kneel, won’t it damage the face of our royal family?” The Fifth Prince’s eyes were a little chilly as he said.
The third prince said, “Ninth brother is too young and impetuous, letting him suffer some setbacks would be a good thing for him.”
