Chapter 930 – Murong Yue
In a flash of lightning, Er Sikong had already knocked down the Blood Dragon Hall’s cultivators, all of them, and nullified their cultivation.
Immediately after, with a wave of his sleeve, a large golden blade of light coalesced out, hovered in mid-air, and flew out, cutting off all the chains on the hands and feet of those slaves.
“Many thanks to Master for coming to the rescue.”
The disciples of the Xuan Realm Sect, after regaining their freedom, immediately bowed down and thanked Erskine.
On the palanquin, the Blood Dragon Duke was quite furious, in this Yuanfu, there was still someone who dared to be an enemy of the Blood Dragon Palace, could that black-faced monk have eaten bear’s heart and leopard’s gall?
He pushed away the two beautiful women he was holding in his hands, and in the palms of his two hands, he condensed two clusters of red holy qi, and said in a deep voice, “This Duke has come to meet you for a while, just how much skill do you have?”
“Ow!”
A blood-coloured dragon shadow, more than ten feet long, flew out and wrapped around the Blood Dragon Duke’s body, causing his aura, to become more and more powerful.
Originally, the Blood Dragon Duke, who only had the cultivation of the Fish Dragon Ninth Transformation, was exuding the power fluctuations that only a First Order Half Saint could have.
The aura of a half-saint shocked the evil cultivators present, causing them to retreat back and forth.
“Duke Blood Dragon has actually cultivated the Blood Dragon Scripture to the seventh layer, and even if he hasn’t reached the Half-Saint realm, he can still erupt with power comparable to that of a Half-Saint.”?”Quickly retreat, it’s best to retreat farther away, an attack at the Half Saint level, even just an aftershock, can shock us to death.”
……
Those disciples of the Xuan Realm Sect were all trembling in fear, their hearts quite terrified. Some of those disciples with weaker cultivation levels even had their bodies go limp and fell to the ground.
The Blood Dragon Duke smiled cruelly as he struck out with one palm, forming a powerful forceful aura that destroyed all the buildings on both sides of the street.
Immediately after that, above Erskine’s head, a large blood-red handprint condensed and slapped downwards.
Just as the Blood Dragon Duke was very pleased with himself, he saw that a silhouette, flashed past his eyes. In the next moment, Erskine was already standing in front of him.
“Boom!”
One of Erskine’s hand seals struck out, striking the Blood Dragon Duke’s abdomen.
The Blood Dragon Duke spat out heart blood and flew out backwards, knocking through the three feet tall palanquin and hitting the ground in a vicious dog pounce like position, hitting the ground with a bloodstained face, miserable and unimaginable.
In the other direction, Zhang Ruochen used all of his breath and blew out with a breath, blowing the blood red handprints struck by the Blood Dragon Duke into thin air.
With Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation, he could dissolve the attack of a First Order Half-Saint with just one breath.
Er Sikong did not kill the Blood Dragon Duke and retreated back, and when he saw that Zhang Ruochen had dissolved the aftermath of the battle, he bowed slightly and saluted, saying, “Many thanks to Senior Uncle for stepping in and saving their lives.”?Zhang Ruochen said, “The one who saved them was not me, but you. Yet, I don’t think that you actually harmed them by saving them.”?Erskine was very puzzled and said, “Why?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “When they were sent to the auction house, even if they could only be slaves, they could at least live. However, if you save them, they will only die. The Blood Dragon Hall’s power in Yuanfu is very large, with their cultivation, even if they regained their free bodies, it is expected that they would have been killed by the experts sent by the Blood Dragon Hall before they could escape from the capital city.”
Second Sikong said, “Poor monk can protect their lives.”
“How long can you protect them? Can you protect them for a moment, but can you protect them for a lifetime? The next time you encounter the same thing, what should you do? Keep saving people, keep protecting them, how many people can you protect? Do you still need to cultivate when you use all of your energy to protect them?”
Zhang Ruochen’s expression, which became quite serious, added, “Even your master doesn’t dare to dip into karma, how dare you?”
Since Master Indra had entrusted the two to Zhang Ruochen, Zhang Ruochen certainly had to teach them something.
There were times when doing things too recklessly would only harm others and themselves.
The Second Sikong was a bit bewildered, muttering to himself, “Did I do something wrong?”
The First Sikong chortled, “Definitely did something wrong, why don’t you immediately admit your mistake to Master Uncle?”
Zhang Ruochen stretched out a hand to stop Dasikong and said, “You didn’t do anything wrong either, you just did things a little wrong.”
“Yes, Senior Uncle is right, you’re using the wrong method! Why do you need to use violence when you can spend money to solve things? Don’t you just spend money to buy them out directly and solve the matter perfectly?”Dasikong said.
Zhang Ruochen glared at Dasikong, wanting to reprimand him, but then realised that it was somewhat impossible to refute his words.
Right!
Why use violence for something that could be resolved with money?
Those disciples of the Xuan Realm Sect obviously also knew that offending the Blood Dragon Hall would only lead them to their deaths. Thus, even though they had regained their freedom, they were even more fearful.
“Master, you must save us.”
“The Blood Dragon Duke has been seriously injured, the Blood Dragon Palace will definitely vent their anger, on us, and with the massive power of the Blood Dragon Palace, we don’t have any way to live at all.”
……
The disciples of the Xuan Realm Sect, when they heard the First and Second Sect call Zhang Ruochen as Senior Uncle, thought that he was a Buddhist monk who practised on behalf of his hair.
Thus, they knelt down and begged Zhang Ruochen for help.
Naturally, Zhang Ruochen was not someone who would see death, so he pondered.
Just at this moment, a sound wave, drifting from afar, entered into Zhang Ruochen’s ears.
Zhang Ruochen’s raised his head, and his eyes looked towards the distant crowd, only to see a woman wearing a goose-yellow long skirt, meeting his eyes and nodding towards him.
The woman, with a slender figure like a stringed moon, stood in a mist of confusion, and apart from Zhang Ruochen, very few people present were able to see her appearance clearly.
“She actually came to the Central Region.”
The corners of Zhang Ruochen’s mouth hooked slightly, revealing a smirk as he instructed the Great Sikong and the Second Sikong, saying, “Take them with you and follow me.”
Following the scent left behind by that goose-coloured long-skirted woman, Zhang Ruochen arrived at the hinterland of the black market and appeared outside a six-storey palace-like building.
Zhang Ruochen brought along the Grand Sikong, the Second Sikong, and all the disciples of the Xuan Realm Sect and walked straight in.
While the rest of the people all stayed in the courtyard to wait, Zhang Ruochen, alone, walked into the inner courtyard and once again met the woman in the goose-coloured gown.
“Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince.”
The woman in the goose-yellow long skirt immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted Zhang Ruochen.
This woman, was none other than Murong Yue of the Murong Family, who was also the former Orange Moon Star Envoy of the Eastern Domain Black Market’s Hall of One Piece, belonging to the Sacred Brightness Central King’s old ministry.
It was normal that Murong Yue was able to recognise Zhang Ruochen, after all, she was aware that Zhang Ruochen had once used the identity of Lin Yue.
“How did you come to the Central Region?”Zhang Ruochen was a bit curious.
Murong Yue stood up again and said, “I heard the news that His Highness the Crown Prince had appeared in Yuanfu, and was worried about His Highness’s safety, so I led the experts of the Murong Clan and the Black Market’s Hall of One Piece and immediately rushed over.”
Zhang Ruochen glanced at Murong Yue and realised that her cultivation, had already reached the Half-Saint realm.
With Murong Yue’s current cultivation, coupled with her special status, she was expected to have become a high-ranking member of the Black Market One Piece Hall, which was indeed able to mobilise a very large amount of manpower and material resources.
Zhang Ruochen said, “You told the elders of the Murong Family about my identity?”
“No. Without Your Highness’s decree, my subordinate does not dare to make a decision on his own.”
Suddenly, Murong Yue thought of something, her eyes dripping as she immediately said, “Your Highness seems to have some grudges with the Blood Dragon Duke, do you want my subordinate to send someone to exterminate the Blood Dragon Hall?”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “I came to the Black Market, everything is still low key. Dealing with the Blood Dragon Hall is just a small matter, but drawing the strong men of the Ministry of War and the Immortal Blood Clan over is the big trouble.”
Following that, Zhang Ruochen added, “The Eastern Region Black Market One Piece Hall should have some power in Yuanfu, right?”
“If Your Highness needs anything, just order. Although the Eastern Domain Black Market One Piece Hall and the Central Domain Black Market One Piece Hall are located in two separate places and operate separately, in the end, they both still belong to the One Piece Hall’s branch. I am now the Young Master of the Eastern Domain Black Market One Piece Hall, and even in the Central Domain, I have a great deal of power.”Murong Yue said.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed as he asked, “You have defeated Ye Hongtear and officially become the Young Master of the East Domain Black Market One Piece Hall?”
Ye Hongtear was the former Red Desire Star Envoy.
Murong Yue gently shook her head and said, “Ye Hong Tear is extremely intelligent and is very good at enlisting people, the forces behind her are very large, I can only be considered an even match with her. That’s why, this term of the Eastern Region Black Market One Piece Hall, a total of two Young Masters were elected. Let’s just see who can have the last laugh, me or her?”
Zhang Ruochen also had a certain understanding of Ye Hongtian, and was indeed a rather powerful woman, especially in terms of her attainments in spiritual power and illusions, which could be considered the first of her generation.
“I came to the black market, and I actually wanted to purchase a Third Grade Sacred Origin Pill.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Murong Yue said, “Your Highness is aiming to impact a Third Grade Half-Saint?”
“I can only say that I’m preparing for impacting the Third Order Half-Saint.”Zhang Ruochen said.
“Sacred Yuan Pills have always been strictly controlled by the major medieval families and cannot be sold to the outside world, in the black market, it is possible to buy Sacred Yuan Pills below the fourth grade by spending a high price. Only ……”
Above that pretty face of Murong Yue’s, a rather embarrassed look appeared, saying, “Only, the Third Grade Holy Yuan Dan is just too expensive, even if my subordinate poured out all of her savings, she couldn’t afford to buy half of one.”
“If Your Highness really needs it, I can immediately send a message back to the Eastern Domain and have the elders of the family, escort a Third Grade Sacred Origin Pill to the Yuan Mansion. With the Murong Family’s heritage, every three years, they can refine a Sacred Yuan Dan, and they should be stocking a Third Grade Sacred Yuan Dan.”
Sacred Yuan Dan, was the only shortcut to the Half-Saint realm, and even for the Medieval Family, it would take several years, or even decades, to refine one.
As such, the Sacred Origin Pill was also quite expensive, and even a Saint realm figure might not be able to afford to buy one.
In the entire Kunlun Realm, I’m afraid that only the nine Realm Sons would be able to obtain an ample supply of Sacred Origin Pills. For every realm, it could be taken.
Zhang Ruochen smiled rather confidently and said, “You don’t have to worry about the price, even if the price is high, I can afford it. The key is, you have to tell me, where can I buy the Third Grade Sacred Yuan Pill?”
