Chapter 442: The Enemy’s Arrival
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Like a Female Warlord straight out of a painting, Silvermoon had an extraordinary temperament and powerful presence. Even if she just stood there casually, people would feel tremendous pressure from her.
“Nie Honglou said that you wanted to hire me to help you kill a Blood Spirit at the Sixth Change of the Fish-dragon Realm. Do you know how much does it cost to hire me for one day?” Silvermoon said frankly.
Even if he was standing in front of a superior like Silvermoon, Zhang Ruochen was not afraid and looked very calm. He said, “A superior like the Commander of Silvermoon Group wouldn’t bother about silver coins and Spiritual Crystals. I guess what you need is something else, right?”
After seeing how composed he was, Silvermoon had a look of praise in her eyes. She said, “You lived up to your name, Zhang Ruochen. No wonder that you can defeat the young master of the Black Market Excellence Hall. Let’s Go! We’ll talk in detail inside the Silver Sky Tower.”
With a gesture of invitation, Silvermoon slightly moved her body and disappeared.
In the next moment, she had returned to the seven-story tower.
Zhang Ruochen set foot on the stairs, climbed upwards, and walked into the Silver Sky Tower.
As he stood on the first story of the Silver Sky Tower, Zhang Ruochen looked up and saw Silvermoon sitting on a seat with sliver eagle wings.
She wore a thin layer of silver armor which only wrapped around her breasts and hips. The armor was made out of unknown materials and it was radiant and bright as if it was burning in flames. Much of her white skin was exposed outside the armor.
Drops of silvery light rain fell from the sky, and she seemed to be hidden in the rain.
Her long silver hair covered her shoulders and hung around her slender and sexy neck, impressing people with the visual impact of a cold, arrogant, yet sexy goddess. Conflicting temperaments were shown at the same time.
Silvermoon said, “Zhang Ruochen, I have two conditions. You only have to agree to either one of them, and I’ll personally kill that Blood Spirit without receiving any additional commission. Moreover, I’ll send Nie Honglou to protect you for a month.”
Zhang Ruochen stood straight with his hands on his back in the center of the tower, saying, “What are your conditions?”
Silvermoon said, “I know that you’re the Buddha Emperor’s descendant with the Dragon Pearl. Therefore, the first condition is that I’d like to read the Buddhist Emperor’s True Thought Painting for three days.”
“I’ve now reached the peak of the Ninth Change in the Fish-dragon Realm and only one step away from the Half-saint Realm. However, it’s extremely difficult, like how the wrath of heaven can never be comprehended by mere mortals.”
“If I can perceive the Buddhist Emperor’s True Thought Painting, it should help me a lot. Perhaps I can use this to realize the true meaning of the Half-Saint Realm.”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, I don’t have the Buddhist Emperor’s True Thought Painting.”
Silvermoon was disappointed, but she could understand him.
The True Thought Painting was drawn by Buddhist Emperor with his lifelong Buddhist doctrine. Thus, it was very precious. Even if she had such a treasure, she would not take it out easily to others.
However, Silvermoon still misunderstood Zhang Ruochen, because he really did not have the treasure.
“All right!”
She nodded and said, “In that case, here’s the second condition.”
Zhang Ruochen listened carefully and said to himself that with her status and cultivation, the requirement Silvermoon put forward would certainly not be cheap. By no means could an ordinary person achieve it.
What would her second condition be?
Silvermoon said, “Zhang Ruochen, you should be quite knowledgeblae about the Silver Sky Mercenary Group. It was founded by me, and the members all are young talents. Although the mercenary group isn’t powerful now, it’s full of life and vitality.”
“Moreover, it has a relatively high degree of credibility, and it has recruited a lot of extraordinary talents. Imaginably, if its development is smooth, with a hundred years, it’ll surely become a super mercenary group with its name known all over the Eastern Region. So, are you interested in joining us?”
Zhang Ruochen was slightly surprised. He didn’t expect that her second condition was to invite him to join the Silver Sky Mercenary Group.
“Are you inviting me to join you?” Zhang Ruochen reconfirmed.
Silvermoon gave a rare smile, stood up, and walked through the air. She said, “Silver Sky Mercenary Group is widely known as a gathering of geniuses. If the there are news about how Zhang Ruochen, one of the Six Great Kings of the new generation, is also a member of us, it would definitely be a good advertisement. Soon many young warriors with an adventurous dream would come to join us Thus, our group would grow rapidly.”
“So, your name itself is already a priceless treasure. If you join us, I’ll certainly help you to kill the Blood Spirit and ensure your safety.”
In fact, Zhang Ruochen also wanted to join some mercenary groups to advanture in various places of the world, increase his information of the world, experience martial arts, and enhance his capability.
The Eastern Region had a vast land that Zhang Ruochen had never been to.
Read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles.
Martial Arts and Holy Road could not be practiced by secluding onself in a room.
When Silvermoon invited him to join the Silver Sky Mercenary Group, Zhang Ruochen certainly had an intention to do so.
Just when he was still considering, a man in purple robe flew from a distance, flashed from the void space like a ghost, and landed on the top of the Silver Sky Tower.
It was not until he stood still that people could saw his appearance. He was the Purple Wind Emissary, the leader of Seven Star Emissaries of the Black Market Excellence Hall.
“Swoosh!”
Purple Wind Emissary took out a delicate small golden bell that was two inches tall. He put it in the center of his palm, and then mobilized Genuine Qi into the bell.
As the Genuine Qi erupted, the inscription inside the bell was activated.
The small golden bell quickly rotated and flew out. It hovered over the sky above the Silver Sky Mercenary Group.
“Bang!”
A huge Golden Bell Shield fell down, completely wrapped up the Silver Sky Mercenary Group, and enveloped them inside the bell.
When Purple Wind Emissary flew to the top of the group, Zhang Ruochen and Silvermoon in the tower had already noticed.
“Someone is on the top of the tower.”
Silvermoon broke through the rooftop of the tower immediately and threw a palm to attack the Purple Wind Emissary.
But she was a little too late. After displaying the Langhuan Golden Bell, Purple Wind Emissary had immediately retreated and disappeared without a trace.
“Buzz!”
That palm thrown by Silvermoon hit the light wall of the Golden Bell. However, it did not break the light wall. Instead, it caused a giant sound, just like the ringing of a bell.
Circles of sound waves surged down like waves.
“Splash!”
The Silver Sky Tower was the first to be attacked. Under the impact of the sound wave, the seventh floor shattered, the pillars turned into flying ash, and the glazed tiles were reduced to fine powder, followed by the sixth-floor, the fifth-floor…
