The trillion trillion trillion’s eyes, as if they were cast in gold, swept the four directions, searching for Zhang Ruochen’s traces.
If someone was able to observe him from a close distance, they would find that his two pupils were in the form of two golden divine lions.
Those were the “Hidden Lion Golden Pupils”, which were said to be possessed only by the Great Saints of the Lion Clan, and could see through all the illusions in the world.
Seeing Wan Zhaoyi display the Hidden Lion Golden Pupils, even Zhang Ruochen revealed a grave expression, worried whether the Xuanwu Hidden Sky Formation set up by Xiao Hei would be able to block Wan Zhaoyi’s probing.
Xiao Hei, on the contrary, appeared confident and said, ”Surprisingly, it’s a rare Hidden Lion Golden Pupil, this Wan Zhaoyi is truly not an ordinary person, possessing the qualifications of a Great Sage. If it was just a simple Xuanwu Hidden Sky Grand Formation, there is a real possibility that it would be recognised by him.”
“However, the terrain here is special, and the formation that this Emperor has set up is completely fused with the terrain as one, becoming a part of the earth, so even if it is the Hidden Lion’s Golden Pupil, it would be impossible to see through it.”
At the edge of the sky, a piece of cyan-coloured text flew over, transforming into a long bridge spanning thousands of miles and hanging in mid-air.
On top of that long bridge of text, there was a stunning woman with red lips and white teeth, standing proudly, like an exiled immortal descending to the earth.
Her beauty was naturally overwhelming, and what was even more astonishing was that the elegant temperament was enough to compare the princes’ and nobles’ proud daughters of heaven.
“The words become a bridge, and the qi catches the clouds. Could it be a certain Spiritual Power Saint of the Confucian Way arriving?”
Li-Min stared at the white-clothed woman above with wide eyes in awe.
Her greatest dream all along had only been to enter the four sects of the Confucian Dao to cultivate, and it would naturally be the best if she could cultivate to the level of a Spiritual Power Half-Saint.
Zhang Ruochen glanced upwards and said indifferently, “Sacred Book Talent Girl, Nalan Danqing.”
In fact, Zhang Ruochen didn’t expect to see the Sacred Book Talent Girl again so soon.
“She …… she is the Sacred Book Talented Lady …… my god ……”
Li-Min was so excited that her legs were trembling, her whole body was soft, and she was about to faint, directly collapsing on Zhang Ruochen’s body.
“What’s wrong?”
Zhang Ruochen extended a hand and lifted her up.
“The Sacred Book Talented Lady is really as beautiful as the heavens. …… Ah …… Zhang Ruochen, I’m going to die. …… I’ve actually met the Sacred Book Talented Lady……”
Li-Min was extremely excited and even a little crazy, her hands tightly squeezed Zhang Ruochen’s arm and directly bit down.
If it wasn’t for Zhang Ruochen holding Li-Min in place, I’m afraid that she would have already knelt down and worshipped.
It was true that a Saint of Confucianism had appeared, but it was still a Heaven’s Pride Daughter who was famous in heaven and earth, and any Confucianism student would be afraid to kneel down and bow in worship when they saw her.
A Sacred Book Talented Girl had such great charisma?
Zhang Ruochen really couldn’t understand Li-Min’s mood and just shook his head before continuing to focus on the duo flying in the sky above.
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden stared at Wan Zhaoyi and asked, “Where is the Monstrous Sword?”
Wan Zhaoyi put away the Hidden Lion’s Golden Pupil and returned to a calm state, saying, “After chasing them here, the Heavenly Monstrous Sword disappeared without a trace. Zhang Ruochen should be hiding nearby, it seems that we can only use the Heavenly Fate Talisman to force him out.”
“Hold on, it’s best not to use the Heavenly Destiny Talisman Edict so easily, lest we disturb the rules of the Sacred Dao in the surrounding area. This place is only a few hundred miles away from the Ziyong Pass, once the Heavenly Fate Rune Edict is used, the military camp will have to be moved away, which is just too much of a labour of love.”
After saying this, the Sacred Book Talented Lady opened her Heavenly Eyes and began to observe the surrounding area.
After checking for a moment, she put her Heavenly Eyes away and said, “Your Hidden Lion Golden Pupils and my Heavenly Eyes were unable to locate Zhang Ruochen, this son must have fled far away. Zhang Ruochen should have mastered a spatial means similar to a wormhole, and has long since put away the Monstrous Heavenly Sword, the spatial power is quite divine.”
In fact, Wan Zhaoyi also rather suspected that Zhang Ruochen had already fled long ago, after all, his Hidden Lion Golden Pupils were enough to see through the concealment formations, so how could a mere Half-Saint escape his eyes?
“Just as well, since Zhang Ruochen dared to come to Zhongyuan County, there will naturally be opportunities to deal with him in the future. Let’s return to Ziyong Pass first, lest there be any more changes.”Wan Zhaoyi said.
“Swish!”
A golden light flashed by, and Wan Zhaoyi left first, leaving the Sacred Book Talented Girl alone above the sky dome.
A pair of starry eyes of the Sacred Book Talented Maiden glanced downwards before she waved her folding fan and surged backward along with the long bridge of words.
It was only after the two left that Zhang Ruochen was the one who asked, “What is the Heavenly Fate Talisman Edict?”
Ri Min patted her chest and let out a long breath, saying, “Luckily, the Sacred Script Talent Lady talked Wan Zhaobian down and didn’t use the Heavenly Fate Rune Edict, or else, we would all have died here.”
“The Heavenly Fate Rune Edict is a transmission runic edict left behind by the Heavenly Fate Emperor, bringing together the imperial aura of the Heavenly Fate Emperor’s entire life. Whoever can obtain the Heavenly Fate Rune Edict will be able to command the world and change the rules of the Sacred Dao with the Emperor’s Qi, becoming the new Emperor of the Heavenly Fate Central Empire.”
“Of course, with the departure of the Heaven’s Mandate Emperor, the Heaven’s Mandate Central Empire was wiped out 70,000 years ago, becoming a long time ago. Now that the Empress is on the throne again, the world is invincible, and even if the Ten Thousand Trillion Trillions obtain the Heavenly Destiny Talisman, it can only be used as a powerful magic treasure, and it is simply impossible for them to form a country of their own.”
Zhang Ruochen had naturally heard of the legend about the Heaven’s Mandate Great Emperor, and it was said that after the Medieval Era, the entire Kunlun Realm was in turmoil, and it was the Heaven’s Mandate Great Emperor who, with his supreme magical powers, established the first Central Empire, in the Southern Domain.
The Heavenly Fate Central Empire was also strong for a while, but unfortunately, after the death of the Heavenly Fate Great Emperor, the empire had no successor, and it was divided into pieces, and the Southern Region was once again in turmoil.
It was not until thirty years ago that the Emperor’s tomb of the Heavenly Fate Emperor flew out from the depths of the earth, and after many competitions, in the end, Ten Thousand Trillion Trillions overpowered all the others and captured the inheritance of the Heavenly Fate Emperor.
The Heavenly Fate Talisman was the most precious treasure in the Emperor’s Tomb.
“Wan Zhaoyi was able to become the number one person in the entire Kunlun Realm in the last hundred years, so naturally, he has great fortune.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Zhang Ruochen also secretly warned himself that he should be more careful in the future, when he encountered a character like Wan Zhaoyi, even those old antiquities who had lived for hundreds of years would probably choose to retreat.
Although, Wan Zhaobian and the Sacred Book Talented Girl had already left, Zhang Ruochen knew that their cultivation was powerful, and they must still have their five senses and spiritual power, enveloping this area.
Therefore, he waited until the late night of the second day before Zhang Ruochen put on the Meteor Invisibility Clothes, wrapped it around him and Li-Min, and left the area.
Early in the morning of the third day, Zhang Ruochen and Li-Min appeared in a small town three thousand miles away from the Ziyong Pass, sitting at a street stall and eating light food.
With Zhang Ruochen’s current realm, he naturally didn’t need to eat grains and cereals, however, Li-Min couldn’t, even though she was a genius of spiritual power, she was only a mortal body.
Although the town was small, it had all the five organs and was well connected, and there was an endless stream of caravans and martial artists travelling to and from the town.
The news of Zhang Ruochen splitting the Ziyong Pass with a single sword had spread throughout the entire Zhongyuan County within a very short period of time, and even the peddlers amongst the commoners were talking about it.
“Ever since Zhang Ruochen came to Yuanfu, he hasn’t stopped, first, he destroyed the four Half-Saints of the Ministry of Soldiers, and now, he even took the initiative to kill the Ministry of Soldiers’ camp, splitting the entire Ziyong Pass in half.”
“The Ministry of War is considered to have lost face, and it is said that Wan Zhaoyi has already let slip that within three months, he will definitely capture Zhang Ruochen.”
“Ever since Wan Zhaoyi became famous, anyone he has had to deal with has never been able to survive more than three months. This time, there should be no exception.”
……
…………
Sitting on the street, one could hear all sorts of gossip, and of course, there were some news that were spread too far, and some people even said that Zhang Ruochen fought with Wan Zhaoyi for a day and a night, sinking Ziyongguan into the ground.
After hearing this, Zhang Ruochen only smiled slightly, thus showing how unreliable the so-called legends had to be.
“Looking for you guys, it’s quite hard for old me to find you.”
Suddenly, a rather old silhouette, who came from nowhere, walked into the stall’s canopy, and without being polite, sat down directly opposite Zhang Ruochen.
Seeing that old silhouette, Li-Min turned pale with fright and immediately stood up, bowing somewhat tremblingly, saying, “Greetings to the old ancestor.”
The old man who came forward was none other than the old ancestor of the Li Clan, the Liku Half-Saint.
“You’re quite good at getting into trouble, I’ll come back to clean you up later.”
The Liku Half-Saint stared at Li-Min and snorted coldly before he turned his gaze, again, towards Zhang Ruochen, arching his hand slightly and saying, “Sir Zhang, the Patriarch wants to see you.”
Zhang Ruochen seemed to have expected this, and thus, was not surprised in the slightest, and only nodded gently, saying, “Please lead the way, old sir.”
The forces of the Ancient Clan of Prison Suppression were indeed spread throughout every corner of the Yuanfu, and Zhang Ruochen and Lai Min had arrived in this town last night. In the morning, the Liku Half-Saint had found them.
From this, it could be seen that they were feared to have been targeted the moment they entered the town.
It wasn’t long after Zhang Ruochen, Riku Half-Saint, and Li-Min had left that the strong men from the Ministry of Military Affairs also rushed over, and naturally, they pounced on them.
