God Emperor

Chapter 2445: A Puzzling Matter

Zhang Ruochen had led the Immortal Vampires to the first place on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. He had made a name for himself. After returning, he had been bestowed marriage by the Reverend and killed Yan Wushen. His name was well-known, it might not be enough to intimidate the top-notch Supreme Saints like Ling and Cang Baizi, but for Cang Jie, who was in the Saint King Realm, the impact was too great. It was as if he had seen heaven.

SWOOSH!

Zhang Ruochen’s body swayed and he returned to his original appearance.

Cang Jie was so excited that he almost fainted when he saw Zhang Ruochen’s real face. He immediately knelt down on one knee and said, “Cang Jie is willing to follow boss for the rest of my life. I will die with no regret.”

Zhang Ruochen took a new leaf of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree from the Qiankun Realm and took out a white jade box.

The new leaf was placed in the box and sealed with the Power of Dimensions.

Zhang Ruochen handed the box to Cang Jie, he said, “Go to Kunlun’s Battlefield of Merits and give it to Ji Fanxin of the Qianrui Realm. Tell her that someone wants to see her. If she still remembers and trusts her old friend, she will go to the Royal City of Hundred Clans at the edge of the Infernal Court within three months and drink a cup of Blossoms Brew.

“If Ji Fanxin is no longer in Kunlun, go to the Endless Abyss and find a woman named Kong Lanyou. Tell her what I said. Leave the rest to her.”

“Understood,” said Cang Jie.

Cang Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that his boss only wanted to meet his old lover.

He took the box carefully and said, “Don’t worry, boss. I will deliver it to the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers as soon as possible.”

The news of the birth of the Fane of Origin was too important. Zhang Ruochen could not tell Cang Jie anything, and he did not want to involve too many people. In Kunlun, Zhang Ruochen had absolute trust. There were very few cultivators with strong cultivation.

Kong Lanyou was the most suitable candidate.

......

Even if the world did not trust him, Lanyou must be the one who trusted him the most.

After Cang Jie left, Zhang Ruochen fell into deep thought. How should he deal with the following situation?

There was no need to worry about the matter of the Southern Sword Realm. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N(o)vᴇl(F)ire

In Phoenix Annex, he deliberately showed his determination to seize the Southern Sword Realm. In fact, he just wanted to stabilize Ling and make him feel that the Southern Sword Realm could be used as a trap to deal with him.

In this way, the lives on the Southern Sword Realm were temporarily safe.

As for the Fane of Origin, although Zhang Ruochen was interested, deep down, he still felt that it was illusory. Now, only five superior grade Divine Crystals of Origin had appeared. Even the gods were not sure whether the Fane of Origin had appeared or not.

Looking for Mu Lingxi and the Emperor Who Slaughtered the Heavens and Earth who had appeared on Hoth was Zhang Ruochen’s biggest concern at the moment.

However, before he went to Hoth, Zhang Ruochen decided to do something that would shake the whole world.

He didn’t want anyone to provoke him.

...

Many forces in the Infernal Court were ruled by gods. They were as many as the 8,000 worlds in the Celestial Court.

However, there were only a dozen forces that knew about the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin.

The Hall of Permanence wasn’t one of them. Therefore, after the plan against Zhang Ruochen failed, Cang Baizi left the House of Enchanteurs. As a Supreme Saint in the Banshi Isshou Realm, he was a first-class existence. Of course, he did not bring any guards.

Zhang Ruochen thought that Cang Baizi would go to the dimensional teleportation array near the House of Enchanteurs and leave.

However, to his surprise, Cang Baizi did not go to the teleportation array. Instead, he restrained his aura and rushed along the tributaries of the River of Present. It seemed that he had something important to do.

The Fane of Destiny was vast. Metaform City was remote and sparsely populated. Only the House of Enchanteurs had a large dimensional teleportation array. Once he left the House of Enchanteurs, it would take him a long time to reach another city on foot.

What was Cang Baizi going to do?

Zhang Ruochen was not in a hurry to make a move. He followed quietly.

The river became wider and wider as he went down the river.

After traveling for about 30,000 miles, it became very desolate and there were signs of battle. The river water was frozen, the blood-red mountains on both sides of the river collapsed, and a thousand miles of land turned into a crimson fire field.

Such a terrifying scene was horrifying.

The most horrifying thing was that Zhang Ruochen did not sense any battle ripples before entering this area. There was no doubt that someone with strong spiritual power had concealed the battle ripples to prevent the enforcers of the Fane of Destiny from noticing.

Zhang Ruochen thought, ‘The battle should be an hour ago. What kind of powerful existence could cause such destruction?

‘Why did they ignore the Fane of Destiny’s ban and fight in the divine domain?

‘How did Cang Baizi know that a battle had broken out here?’

Zhang Ruochen was curious. Suddenly, he saw Cang Baizi stop on the frozen river and slap his palm down.

BOOM!

A large piece of the ice shattered, and a blood-red water column rushed up. ????????????????????????d. ᴄ????????

At the top of the water column, there was a corpse.

Zhang Ruochen was surprised when he saw the appearance of the corpse.

It was Xing Qian, the Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint of the Fane of Asura.

Xing Qian was willing to be his servant for a thousand years in the Citadel Casino of the House of Enchanteurs because he had offended Seven-Armed Elder. Even so, he was still the Supreme Saint of the Fane of Asura and a disciple of the gods. Who would dare to kill him in the Divine Domain of Destiny?

The key was, why should he be killed?

Cang Baizi grabbed the collar of the corpse and grinned hideously. He said, “What a poor guy. How could he suffer such an unexpected disaster?”

Zhang Ruochen knew that Cang Baizi must have known what was going on here, so he did not wait any longer. He took out the Violet Gourd and secretly activated it.

Cang Baizi’s expression changed dramatically when he sensed danger.

Swoosh

The Violet Gourd floated above his head. 72 million Dimensional Array Inscriptions gushed out from the mouth of the gourd, forming a large Dimensional Array with a diameter of 800 miles. It illuminated the night sky as bright as day.

“Zhang Ruochen...” said Cang Baizi as he looked up.

Boom

The Dimensional Array collapsed and Cang Baizi was instantly sucked into the gourd.

With Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation, he might not be a match for a Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint without using the power of the Qiankun Realm. However, this battle was not a head-on clash. Instead, he used a Supreme Artifact to sneak attack.

Naturally, he succeeded in one move.

Just as Zhang Ruochen grabbed the Violet Gourd, an earth-shaking noise came from the gourd. It shook his arm until it hurt.

“Ruochen, you’re only in the Hundred-Shackle Realm. How dare you imprison me? Are you looking forward to dying?” shouted Cang Baizi.

Cang Baizi roared in the gourd.

No one knew what saint technique he had used. The Violet Gourd grew bigger and bigger, from one foot tall to one person tall to the size of a house.

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t afraid of Cang Baizi breaking the Violet Gourd. He snorted and pressed his palm on the wall of the gourd. He started spinning quickly.

After spinning more than ten times, Cang Baizi couldn’t take it anymore. He screamed, “What kind of gourd is this? Why does time flow so fast? Stop it! Stop it!”

Every time the Violet Gourd spun, it could cut off 100 years of lifespan.

Cang Baizi’s vitality was severely harmed. He couldn’t take it any longer. Then, the Violet Gourd shrank once more.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t stop. He circled around more than ten times.

At first, Cang Baizi was still tough. He cursed in the gourd, but after losing a lot of lifespans, he became afraid. His tone softened. He said, “What happened in the House of Enchanteurs had nothing to do with me. It was Ling’s idea. Why are you taking revenge on me?

“I can’t keep going. A Corpusian may have died once, but he still has life. My corpse is rotting! Zhang Ruochen, I can give you anything you want.”

Zhang Ruochen hadn’t expected Cang Baizi, a Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint, to be so weak. He’d given in so quickly. He was about to take the chance to ask about his doubts.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen felt a terrifying aura approaching quickly.

His expression changed. He quickly sealed the Violet Gourd and used the Great Dimensional Shift to escape. He didn’t go to the House of Enchanteurs. Instead, he went to the closest city with a lot of cultivators.

Not long after Zhang Ruochen escaped, the black-veiled cultivator descended like a bolt of lightning.

Although Lord Turtle was a jade stone turtle, it was not slow. Instead, it was extremely fast. It ran like a duck and appeared on the other side of the ice river.

Its two eyeballs rolled and it stuttered, “Di... Di... Men... Men... Sion...”

“It’s the remnant Power of Dimension, and it’s Zhang Ruochen’s aura.” said the black-veiled cultivator. Her voice was as sweet as an oriole, but there was a hint of coldness in her tone.

Lord Turtle widened his eyes and pointed at the shattered ice river. “Corpse... Corpse...”

“Xing Qian’s corpse is missing! However, Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t use such a vigorous Power of Dimension just because of a corpse. If I’m not wrong, it must be because Cang Baizi followed him rashly that Zhang Ruochen saw this,” the black-veiled cultivator said.

Lord Turtle said, “Why...”

“Why? Because the only cultivator who knows about this has something to do with Zhang Ruochen is Cang Baizi,” explained the black-veiled cultivator.

Lord Turtle stopped talking and looked at her with a look that said, “What should we do next?”.

“Don’t worry. My spiritual avatar has gone after him to silence him. Let’s see if this Scion of Time and Space deserves his reputation.” said the black-veiled cultivator.

The black gauze on the black-veiled cultivator’s body dispersed, and a jade-white radiance condensed into a sacred cloud that enveloped her hazy and graceful body. Every inch of her skin was as bright as immortal jade, and her long black hair swayed like a waterfall.

Her temperament was ethereal, like the rosy moon in the clouds and the pearl in the water. No one could see her true appearance clearly.

Whoosh

Beneath her feet, Saint Qi which contained the five elements and Origin surged out in all directions.

In her mind, the terrain and landform before the destruction appeared. Thus, wherever the Saint Qi surged, the frozen river channel melted, the collapsed mountains rose again, and the fire field was extinguished.

Dense five-element origin particles surged out of the soil, condensing into various plants.

In a moment, everything that had been destroyed recovered, as if there had never been a battle here.

He would have been shocked to the core if Zhang Ruochen had not fled. The Maiden of a Thousand Stars had previously demonstrated the mystery of the Path of Origin in front of him.

All matter could turn into Origin particles and condense into another form.

However, compared to Bai Qing’er, the Maiden of a Thousand Stars’ attainments in Origin were like fireflies compared to the blazing sun.

When the Origin was combined with the five elements, it could even create plant life in an instant.

General Pillar rushed back. Although his body was tall, his speed was much slower than Lord Turtle’s, he asked, “My Lady, we still haven’t found Seven-Armed Elder. That old fellow couldn’t have been killed by you with one palm, right?”

Bai Qing’er shook her head and said, “As the god of gambling, if he didn’t even have this bit of life-saving ability, he would have died long ago!”

“However, your spiritual power is not much weaker than his. If he was still in this area, how could you not find him?” General Pillar said.

Suddenly, Bai Qing’er frowned and said to herself, “He escaped!”

“Who escaped?” General Pillar asked curiously.

Lord Turtle looked proud. Finally, there was something you didn’t know, so he said arrogantly, “Zhang... Zhang...”

“It’s Zhang Ruochen. This kid had some talent. He’s only in the Hundred-Shackle Realm, but he already can escape from my spiritual avatar,” Bai Qing’er said.

General Pillar’s tone was disdainful. “Even if he condensed a Grade Two Saintwill, he’s only outstanding. The only real Yuanhui level figures are Lord Huang Tian and that old fox Wargod Bloodximius.”

“Shut up,” said Bai Qing’er.

She did not want to hear General Pillar mention that name.

“Yes, my lady,” said General Pillar as he quickly shut up.

“Hehe.”

Lord Turtle secretly laughed.

Bai Qing’er closed her eyes and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, she thought of something and said, “I understand! Just now, we went to chase after Seven-Armed Elder’s puppet form, but we neglected Xing Qian’s corpse.”

“You mean Seven-Armed Elder is hiding in Qian Xing’s body?” General Pillar asked in surprise.

Bai Qing’er said, “That’s the only possibility!”

“Qian Xing’s body... was taken away by Zhang Ruochen?” General Pillar asked.

Bai Qing’er was very decisive, she said, “General Pillar, go to the Adjudication Division immediately... No, go to the Death Palace and tell the Death Palace’s High Priest that Zhang Ruochen killed Qian Xing of the Fane of Asura and captured Cang Baizi of the Hall of Permanence.”

“Can the Death Palace interfere in this matter?” General Pillar asked.

Bai Qing’er said, “The Death Palace’s High Priest can restrain the Fortune Palace’s High Priest, and he can also mobilize his connections in the Adjudication Division to capture Zhang Ruochen.”

“I’m afraid that the Death Palace’s High Priest is unwilling to interfere in this matter. After all, the true cause of death of Xing Qian is not difficult to investigate,” General Pillar said.

Bai Qing’er said, “So you have to go back to the House of Enchanteurs and ask the master to go with you. It’s impossible for the Death Palace’s High Priest to not give you face.”

“My Lady, what about you?” General Pillar asked.

Bai Qing’er said, “Zhang Ruochen has a big background after all. If we want to deal with him, we have to add more crimes to his name. We can make use of the big event in the House of Enchanteurs Tonight.”
