Chapter 2609: Encounter
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In an empty ancient city in the Southern Sword Realm, Zhang Ruochen and his surroundings, Shentu Yunkong, Lord Sinluo, and of course, the clone of Master Ye You, had gathered together.
One after another, they handed over an Exquisite Dimensional Orb to Zhang
Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen used his spiritual power to investigate. The internal planets of the Exquisite Dimensional Orb were now filled with living creatures, numbering in the billions.
They had done their best in such a short time.
Zhang Ruochen praised the three of them. Then he took out three Yuanhui Tribulation sacred herbs and gave them to them. The three of them were overjoyed. They suddenly felt that Zhang Ruochen was more generous than anyone else.
They did not know that the three Yuanhui Tribulation sacred herbs were just a drop in the bucket for Zhang Ruochen.
On the other side, Master Ye You and the Seven-Armed Elder surrounded Lord Ming. They introduced themselves one by one, claiming that they had joined the Xue Jue Family and wanted to become Lord Ming’s disciple.
Lord Ming had no interest in managing the family or recruiting talents for the family
In his opinion, the two old folks in front of him were just two pieces of trash that he could kill with just the strike of a sword.
Even if he were to recruit students, it was impossible for him to accept such old fogeys. Their malleability was too low, and their future achievements and potential were almost set in stone.
Master Ye You and the Seven-Armed Elder talked for a long time, but Lord Ming did not respond at all, as if he could not hear their voices at all. After all, they were just nobody to him.
Powerful divine might appeared from time to time in the sky, and then quickly disappeared.
Groups of Saint-level cultivators drove chariots and Saint Vessels to the Ocean of Demon.
Zhang Ruochen looked at the sky with mixed feelings. Too many unexpected things had happened during his trip to the Fane of Origin. Although he had successfully condensed the Grade Three Swordsmanship Saintwill, he was not in a good mood.
Maybe it was because of Chi Yao, or maybe it was because of Bai Qing’er.
Even the Grade Three Swordsmanship Saintwill could not cut through all the complexities in his heart.
Ji Fanxin’s identity was special. She must not be seen by the Infernal Court cultivators. Zhang Ruochen temporarily brought her to the Qiankun Realm.
According to Master Ye You and the Seven-Armed Elder, Le and High-Saint Kai Luo had been taken into the Sword Pavilion by Granny Begonia and had left. If High-Saint Kai Luo played this card well, he might be able to make the Heavenly Realm suffer a substantial loss.
Of course, the dragon lord and the others had to be able to save the island lord.
Only the dragon lord and the island lord could make the Heavenly Realm bleed.
New Gods like Chi Yao and Xue Lingxian could not shake the massive Heavenly Realm, no matter how good their cards were.
“I wonder if the island lord has been rescued.
Zhang Ruochen could not forget what his father had said before he left. The Divine Domain of Destiny was the territory of the Fane of Destiny, after all. There were many arrangements, and there were so many hidden, powerful figures that no one knew. Even if there was just a minor accident, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Just like how the gods of the Infernal Court went to the Celestial Palace of the Celestial Court to save people, even the god kings and reverends had to be prepared to die if they went.
“The Empress has been operating in the Infernal Court for many years, and my father is a god who has long infiltrated the Fane of Destiny. It should be easier with him as an insider.” Zhang Ruochen’s heart unconsciously became nervous.
SWOOSH!
A communication talisman flew from the clouds and landed in Lord Ming’s hand.
After reading the message on the communication talisman, Lord Ming’s originally calm and natural expression suddenly became fierce, and his eyes kept changing.
SNAP!
The communication talisman was shattered into powder by the divine power gushing out of his fingers.
The Seven-Armed Elder and Master Ye You were shocked and immediately shut up. Their hearts beat faster and more nervously, as they found that this god of the Xue Jue Family was really difficult to get along with.
‘If he didn’t want a disciple, he could have just said so. Why did he have to show such a scary look?’
Master Ye You felt his knees were disobeying him. If he did not really understand what he had done wrong, he might have already kneeled down.
Lord Ming walked toward Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen did not know what message Lord Ming had received, but seeing him walk over with such a look, he already had a guess. It seemed that the rescue plan of the Fane of Destiny had come to a conclusion.
Lord Ming had always been easy-going with Zhang Ruochen. He was as fierce and ruthless as what the Kunlun cultivators said.
But now, as he got closer, Zhang Ruochen felt cold all over, as if he had fallen into an extremely cold hell.
Lord Ming stood opposite Zhang Ruochen and asked, “To what extent are you involved in the Kunlun rescue plan?”
He did not ask if Zhang Ruochen was involved. He directly asked to what extent he was involved, as he was sure that he was indeed involved.
Zhang Ruochen knew that there was no point in denying it now.
He looked up and stared at Lord Ming’s bright red eyes. “With my cultivation, to what extent do you think I can get involved?”
“The Fane of Origin is part of the Kunlun plan? You’ve been planning this since the five supreme-quality Divine Crystal of Origin appeared in the Divine Domain of Destiny?” Lord Ming asked.
Zhang Ruochen did not want to lie to Lord Ming, and he shook his head. “The appearance of the Fane of Origin is just a coincidence. Please believe me. I’ve done nothing to harm the Xue Jue Family. I sincerely hope that the Xue Jue Family will benefit the most from this great opportunity.”
Lord Ming nodded, believing Zhang Ruochen’s words.
If it was not for the Xue Jue Family, Zhang Ruochen would not have told him the exact location of the Fane of Origin in advance. If it was not for the Xue Jue Family, he would not have spent so much effort to recruit Master Ye You and the Seven-Armed Elder.
If it was not for the Xue Jue Family, Zhang Ruochen would have returned to Kunlun with Chi Yao and Xue Lingxian. He would have chosen to stay.
He had given up the six divine swords and stayed, and this was the best proof.
The force pressing on Zhang Ruochen gradually dissipated. Lord Ming fell into deep thought.
He was very satisfied that Zhang Ruochen told him the truth. If Zhang Ruochen continued to hide it from him, he would turn around and leave.
“Since you called me uncle and gave me a tremendous opportunity in the Fane of Origin, it wouldn’t make sense if I didn’t save you this time.”
“While the gods of the Infernal Court are still dealing with the gods of the Heavenly Realm factions, chasing after the Lord of the Nephilim Island and splitting the remaining benefits in the Fane of Origin, leave the Southern Sword Realm with me immediately. Otherwise, when the dust settles, they will definitely focus their attention on you. You have been too involved in the matter of the Fane of Origin. You have done some things too clearly. The forces that want to kill you won’t let go of this opportunity.”
Zhang Ruochen sensed Lord Ming’s concern. “What about the Southern Sword
Realm?”
Lord Ming had got the Ancestral Swordmaster’s sword valor. He was obviously affected by karma as well. He would not give up on the Southern Sword Realm so easily.
He thought for a moment. “If you travel with me, we will become an obvious target, which isn’t the best idea. How about I stay behind and take the Southern Sword Realm? You return to the Infernal Court immediately and hide in the Fane of Immortality for a while. When the old man comes back, he should be able to protect you. Now, only the Fane of Immortality can protect you. You have the Wargod Belt with you, and the Fane of Immortality will never keep you out. If the Fane of Destiny finds the Fane of Immortality, you just need to deny everything. You never admit that you have taken part in it. It’s best to blame everything on Bai Qing’er. She is the most suspicious person in this matter. Remember; you only have one goal from the beginning, and that is to seek benefits for the Xue Jue Family. Answer anyone who asks you this.”
Zhang Ruochen was worried. “But it’s dangerous for you to stay alone in the Southern Sword Realm.”
“What danger can there be? I’m a god, the god of the Bloodysky Clan. I have pure bloodline, brilliant talent, and endless potential. If anyone dares to touch me, the entire Immortal Vampire will not agree. Besides, do you really think I’m a rookie god? It’s difficult to kill me.” Lord Ming looked disdainful and sounded unfazed.
“Well, it seems that I should worry more about myself. Goodbye!”
Zhang Ruochen transformed into a burly and ugly Rakshasa man, staring at
the Seven-Armed Elder and Master Ye You. “They are both talented people with potential to become gods. If you have time, you can give them some pointers.”
“They are just two pieces of trash. Let me send them off.”
Lord Ming pressed his palm on Zhang Ruochen’s back and pushed him forward. Zhang Ruochen’s vision went dark, his body spun nonstop, as if he was in a whirlpool.
When he regained his vision and stabilized his posture, he found that he had crossed hundreds of millions of miles and left the Triangular Starfield of Darkness.
He turned around, looked at the dark void space behind him, and was speechless.
A true God was indeed powerful. A casual display of his skills was better than him, a Master of Time and Space. The Saint level and divinity were truly an insurmountable chasm.
Zhang Ruochen did not stay any longer but flew toward the Ancestral Domain of the Yakshas.
Only by borrowing the space wormhole and Dimensional Array of the Ancestral Domain of the Yakshas could he reach the Fane of Immortality at the fastest speed.
But Zhang Ruochen did not fly for long before he crashed into a faint light wall. His body passed through it with no obstruction.
“Not good.”
Zhang Ruochen realized that something was wrong. He immediately took out the Shenlong Chaos Tower of Sun and Moon and hid it in his sleeve.
When he passed through the almost invisible light wall, he clearly felt a faint divine power. It was obvious that he had entered some realm set up by the gods.
Zhang Ruochen stopped and looked around. He found the stars had disappeared, and the entire space was dark.
“I am General Ruoji, a disciple of the Rakshasha divine prince. I wonder who set up the realm again?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
A sneer rang out, shaking the entire space. “That’s just a child’s play, kid. Why haven’t you revealed your true form? I have been expecting you here.”
A long river formed from the light spots of Mark of Time flew over from afar. It condensed into a hazy divine shadow and charged toward Zhang Ruochen with a mighty divine power.
“Samay.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed.
“Zhang Ruochen, you have no escape today..”
