Cultivating into the Four Spirit Treasure Body, Zhang Ruochen’s physique was already very strong, and even though the self-healing ability of his injuries was not as good as that of the Innate Extreme Yang Body and the Immortal Saint Body, it was still at a rather astonishing level.
At this moment, the wound on his leg, which had already healed and congealed into a scar, slowly stood up and stared over towards Saint Xuan Yi, saying, “The disguise of the Immortal Blood Race is indeed able to conceal itself from the heavens and the seas, yet, there are some cracks in it as well. Since everyone wants to know, then, I will talk about it.”
“Firstly, on the back of the Undying Blood Clan, there are wings, and even if they are disguised as humans, the bones on their backs are very different from normal people.”
“Secondly, the Undying Blood Race’s disguise is mainly derived from blood. The Immortal Blood Clan member just now was able to disguise himself as a Xuanlong Half-Saint, and moreover, he was able to conceal himself from a Saint’s five senses. In fact, that was because, he had absorbed the entire body of the Xuanlong Half-Saint’s blood, causing the aura of his body to become one with the Xuanlong Half-Saint. In this way, even if your cultivation level is high, it would be difficult to discover the end.”
“However, once he enters a fighting state, he will not be able to control the blood in his body perfectly, and it will be easy for him to reveal his flaws and give off the aura that the Immortal Blood Race originally had.”
The two points that Zhang Ruochen had just uttered were simply too important, and the cultivators present all silently memorised them.
When they encountered the Immortal Blood Race in the future, they would be able to take precautions.
Saint Xuan Yi’s eyes narrowed as he added, “Lin Yue, how do you know so much about the Immortal Blood Race?”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said without slowing down, “It’s not that I know the Immortal Blood Race very well, it’s just that I happened to read an ancient book. The two points I just mentioned are, in fact, both recorded above the ancient book.”
“Eight hundred years ago, Emperor Ming led all the great clans and saintly sects to expel the Undying Blood Clan to Barbarian Rocky Island, in fact, at a huge cost.”
“After the battle, Emperor Ming ordered that the Crown Prince’s Guarantor, Shangguan Que, and a group of Saints who participated in the battle at that time, joined together and compiled a booklet specifically about the Undying Blood Race called the Secret Scroll of the Blood Race. On there, it was a record of some of the weaknesses of the Undying Blood Race, as well as various means of dealing with the Undying Blood Race, and at the same time, there were also some hidden secrets about the Undying Blood Race.”
“Only, eight hundred years have passed, and the Kunlun Realm has never seen an Immortal Blood Race again, so I guess no one has ever gone through that book again, so that’s why you guys don’t know about it.”
Back then, when Shangguan Que was compiling the Secret Scroll of the Blood Race, Zhang Ruochen happened to see a few pages of it. Just now, the two articles he mentioned were the contents on top of those pages.
As for the rest of the contents of the Secret Scroll of the Blood Race, Zhang Ruochen simply didn’t know.
Hearing Zhang Ruochen’s words, all of them wrote down the book, The Secret Scroll of the Blood Race, and secretly resolved that when they returned to the sect, they would definitely find it and study it carefully.
After all, eight hundred years later, the Undying Blood Race would make a comeback and would definitely bring another catastrophe to the Kunlun Realm.
If one could find the means to deal with them, when the Undying Blood Race really appeared on a large scale, it would be easier to deal with them.
Zhang Ruochen did not know that back then, Shangguan Que had indeed brought people to compile the Secret Scrolls of the Blood Race, only that the Secret Scrolls of the Blood Race had just been compiled successfully and had not yet been passed on to the great clans, when a palace mutiny incident occurred in the Sacred Brightness Central Empire, with the disappearance of the Brightness Emperor and the assassination of the Crown Prince. Overnight, the sky turned upside down.
Since then, the whereabouts of the Blood Clan Secret Scrolls were also unknown, and they were not circulated at all.
It could be imagined that by the time the people went back to look for it and were unable to find the book, The Secret Scroll of the Blood Race, there would definitely be many people who would suspect Lin Yue.
Present, the most suspicious people were actually Shangguan Linglong and Shangguan Nihong of the Shangguan Family.
“The old ancestor once compiled this book?”
Shangguan Linglong frowned both eyebrows, giving birth to a puzzled demeanour.
Shangguan Nihong also pursed her crystalline red lips, her eyes looking over in Lin Yue’s direction, really feeling very ashamed.
The old ancestor had compiled a tome that she, as a descendant of the younger generation, was actually completely unaware of, but on the contrary, it was an outsider who knew it quite clearly.
The Sacred Book Talented Lady’s pair of beautiful eyes, staring at Lin Yue’s body, revealed a very sparkling light, obviously not expecting that this guy, not only was his talent in the Sword Dao strangely high, but he was even more well-read.
To know, she had read ten thousand volumes of books, but she had also become a saint with the Book Dao, even so, every year, she still had to read a large number of books to supplement her knowledge.
It could be said that the entire Kunlun realm, from ancient times to the present, from astronomy and geography to the human world, the Sacred Book Talented Woman had read countless books, but she had never flipped through the “Secret Scrolls of the Blood Clan”.
After two consecutive battles, no one dared to doubt Lin Yue’s strength anymore.
A sword nailed Shao Lin to death, and a hair chopped down a half saint …… With such a dazzling record, who would dare to challenge him without any self-importance?
There was no doubt that this session of the Sword Discussion Conference, the Two Yi Sect had once again won.
In the next hundred years, the Sword Pavilion would still have to remain in the Two Yi Sect.
With her hands behind her back, the Sacred Book Talented Maiden wore a white Confucian coat, resembling a graceful and beautiful young man as she stepped out and stared towards Zhang Ruochen, saying, ”The Two Yi Sect is going to clean up their house, and being a member of the court, it is inconvenient for this Sage to intervene. Shao Lin’s grudge with the Two Element Sect, this Saint can ignore it. However, Lin Yue killed a Boundary Son, how should this Saint go back and explain to the Queen?”
The identity of a Boundary Son was indeed non-trivial.
A Boundary Son being killed for whatever reason was also a big deal, so how could the court not pursue the matter?
However, it was also fortunate that the Sacred Book Talented Lady had not yet brought the nine Realm Sons back to the Central Imperial City to pay a visit to the Empress, which meant that the identity of the nine Realm Sons had not yet been formally established.
Otherwise, for Lin Yue to kill Shao Lin would be a great disrespect to the Empress, and he would definitely be copied and destroyed.
Ning Xuandao and the Sword Saint of the Buried Moon could see that the Sacred Book Talented Maiden didn’t make things difficult for Lin Yue, nor did she make an issue out of Shao Lin’s death, and there was even the implication that she intended to exonerate Lin Yue.
Therefore, they immediately understood the intentions of the Sacred Book Talented Lady.
The Sacred Book Talented Lady wanted Lin Yue to take Shao Lin’s place and become one of the Nine Great Sect Sons. Figuring this out, Ning Xuandao and the Burial Moon Sword Saint glanced at each other and both revealed smiles.
If, Lin Yue and Gai Tianjiao both became Sect Sons, in the next few hundred years, the Two Eyes Sect would definitely become even more powerful. Not only would it become the head of the Ten Thousand Sect in the Eastern Region, it would become the head of the Ten Thousand Sect in the entire Kunlun Realm.
Zhang Ruochen clasped his hands together and said, ”Thank you, Lord Saint for your clarity. I believe that since Shao Lin is dead, the first king at the Realm Son Banquet should naturally become the new Realm Son.”
The Sacred Book Talented Lady had expected that Lin Yue would definitely continue to refuse and said, “Nowadays, the identity of the Boundary Son has not been officially established. This Saint believes that whoever kills a boundary son is qualified to become the new boundary son.”
“Lin Yue, your strength is really strong, if you don’t become a Sector Son, this Saint will feel quite regretful. Tomorrow, this Saint will bring the other eight Sectors and return to the Central Imperial City, so you still have one day to think about it, if you think about it clearly, you can come to me anytime.”
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden stared Avray at Zhang Ruochen before she retreated again.
Zhang Ruochen also returned to the Two Elemental Sect’s camp, and the Burying Moon Sword Saint stared at him, saying, ”Are the injuries alright?
Zhang Ruochen smiled and shook his head, saying, “The external injuries are no big deal, it’s just the damage to the meridians that will take a few days to heal.”
The Lunar Burial Sword Saint’s lips moved, wanting to speak, as if he was tempted to ask why he had rejected the Sacred Book Talented Lady.
However, in the end, the Buried Moon Sword Saint didn’t ask, he believed that Lin Yue should know how to choose, and just said, “This time, you’ve done the most credit, when the Sword Discussion Conference is over, the clan will definitely reward you with some precious treasures. As for now, don’t care about anything, first recuperate your injuries.”
Zhang Ruochen retreated and was immediately surrounded by the young sword cultivators of the Two Yi Sect as if they were welcoming the return of a hero.
In any case, Zhang Ruochen could not possibly go as a Boundary Son, and thus, did not think too much about it. His gaze, however, was fixed in the direction where the Eastern Domain Sacred Courtyard was.
Under the attention of the crowd, the Xuan Gui Sword Saint took slow steps and walked out, his gaze staring in the direction of the Nine Spectres Sword Saint as he said, “Nine Spectres, the grudge between us, today, it is time to put an end to it.”
The Nine Spectres Sword Saint’s figure shifted and appeared opposite the Xuan Gui Sword Saint, his pair of pale eyes gradually becoming sharp as he said, “The two of us have been rivals for our entire lives, and it is indeed time for an end to be put to it.
“Since, today, one of us will definitely fall, then this Saint must also openly fail to clarify one thing, your disciple, Zhang Ruochen, was not killed by this Saint. The cause of his death should be something else.”
The eyelids of the Xuan Gui Sword Sage opened slightly, and a pensive expression appeared on his aged face.
After the death of the Space-Time Successor Zhang Ruochen, the Nine Spectres Sword Saint had never made a public statement, so why did he suddenly deny the matter today?
Obviously, the Nine Spectres Sword Saint’s words had caused a great sensation.
If the Nine Spectres Sword Saint was telling the truth, then the person who lied was Trillion Trillion. The person who killed Zhang Ruochen could also be Ten Thousand Trillion.
Why would Wan Zhaoyi do this?
Or rather, why did the court do this?
However, some people with meticulous minds thought of a deeper level. Since, the Nine Spectres Sword Saint didn’t kill Zhang Ruochen, and no one had seen Zhang Ruochen’s corpse, could it be, that Zhang Ruochen didn’t die at all, and was still alive?
It was clear to everyone that the Nine Spectres Sword Saint was about to have a duel with the Xuan Gui Sword Saint, and it was hard to predict whether he would live or die, thus, there was no need for him to lie at all.
The Sacred Book Talented Lady, however, knew that the imperial court had not issued a secret order to secretly execute the Time Successor Zhang Ruochen. Even, Wan Zhaoyi was chastised by the Empress when he returned to the Central Imperial City.
“Could it be that the Immortal Blood Clan had disguised themselves as the Nine Pale Sword Saint and fooled Ten Thousand Trillion?”
Just as she thought of this, the Sacred Book Talented Maiden immediately shook her head again.
If the Immortal Blood Clan had struck, there was no need to disguise themselves in the appearance of the Jiuyue Sword Saint, and they could have killed Zhang Ruochen openly and honestly.
Furthermore, the Immortal Blood Clan had not sucked the Nine Pale Sword Saint’s blood, so even if they disguised themselves as the Nine Pale Sword Saint, it would be impossible to fool the Trillion Trillion.
“This matter, there really is something fishy.”
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden had a vague premonition that Time and Space Transmitter Zhang Ruochen was most likely not dead, but had already shed his shell from the Golden Silkworm, and was still living in one of the corners of the Kunlun Realm.
Of course, she still had to return to the Central Imperial City and personally meet Ten Thousand Trillion Trillions to understand the exact circumstances of that day before she could be sure of the conjecture in her heart.
If Timeless Transmitter Zhang Ruochen had not died, where could he have gone?
Many people, like the Sacred Book Talented Maiden, pondered the same question.
