Chapter 462: A Man Infatuated
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
“You think you have the right to know? It’s a deal between Bu Qianfan and me. You just need to stay here.”
Zhang Ruochen paid no attention to the Orange Star Emissary. He put his hands together to practice the Scripture of Emperor Ming’s Empyrean as if he was alone.
“Hmm! You can defeat me, but you can’t detain me.”
In an attempt to escape from the room, the Orange Star Emissary mobilized her Genuine Qi and displayed a bodily movement.
“Uh!”
But, when she began to run her Genuine Qi, she felt a deep chest pain.
The Genuine Qi inside began to reflux.
The Orange Star Emissary was in a lot of pain. She clutched her chest, sat on the ground, and breathed heavily.
Zhang Ruochen did not open his eyes. “I’ve sealed your nine Meridians. I only released one of them. You can’t run Genuine Qi now. Otherwise, you’ll suffer a backfire.”
The Orange Star Emissary tightened her fingers and stared at him coldly. Her eyes were full of resentment.
At dusk, the sun was about to set.
Bu Qianfan came to the Courier Station of Martial Market with Source of Spiritual Fire and delivered it to Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen held the Source of Spiritual Fire and examined it. When he was finished, he covered the box, saying, “You can leave!”
This was simply a transaction. Zhang Ruochen did not stand on ceremony with Bu Qianfan. Each took what he needed.
Since Bu Qianfan had come to save someone, he had to be well-prepared for everything. There had to be a way for him to take the Orange Star Emissary away.
As for Xie Yun’an outside and the warriors from the Law Enforcement Hall, they were not as strong as Bu Qianfan and the Orange Star Emissary. They could not keep them there.
“Thank you again.”
Bu Qianfan clasped his hands together to salute Zhang Ruochen.
He took a golden metal mask from his sleeve and placed it over his face, showing only his eyes. He took the Orange Star Emissary and displayed a bodily movement to fly out.
The metal mask on his face was very similar to the one Di Yi wore.
“He really is infatuated. It seems that his martial flaw still exists. As long as there’s such a flaw, he’ll never be well-matched with Di Yi.” Zhang Ruochen shook his head and sighed.
RUMBLE!
There was a fierce fight happening outside.
It didn’t last long. Xie Yun’an and a group of wounded warriors rushed in and appeared before Zhang Ruochen.
Xie Yun’an’s eyes were red. He was very angry. “Zhang Ruochen, was the Orange Star Emissary rescued?”
On his chest, there were three crimson gashes. The wounds were so deep that his white ribs could be seen.
Zhang Ruochen sat on the stone bench in the courtyard and responded calmly, “You’ve been hurt by the Orange Star Emissary’s Hell Ghost King Claw. Obviously, she has run away.”
Just glancing at it briefly, Zhang Ruochen could see that Xie Yun’an had been wounded by the Hell Ghost King Claw.
“Why? Why did you let her go?” Xie Yun’an yelled, holding his hands tightly.
Zhang Ruochen looked at him and said casually, “I didn’t let her go. She was rescued. Besides, you, someone who has reached the First Change in the Fish-dragon Realm, and a large number of warriors from the Law Enforcement Hall, can’t stop her. Is it that odd that she ran away from me?”
Xie Yun’an looked at the scars on chest and said angrily, “If it weren’t for Di Yi, I wouldn’t have been hurt by her.”
Zhang Ruochen feigned ignorance, saying, “How do you know that it was Di Yi?”
“He wore a metal mask and displayed the Hades Sword Skill, the Black Market’s unique skill. Who but he would do that?” Xie Yun’an said.
Zhang Ruochen knew the masked man had been Bu Qianfan, not Di Yi.
Of course, he did not reveal that.
A warrior who had attained the Completion of the Earth Realm quickly stepped in from the outside. He got down on one knee in front of Xie Yun’an. “Elder, Law Enforcement Master is arriving!”
Xie Yun’an’s expression changed.
If the Orange Star Emissary had not escaped, he would have been awarded when Law Enforcement Master came, for rendering outstanding service.
Now, the Orange Star Emissary had fled, and Xie Yun’an would be guilty of a dereliction of duty.
He would have no merit, rather he would be in trouble.
A moment later, Shen Fengtian, Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, dressed in a dark black robe, walked in imposingly from the outside.
“Master of the Hall!” Xie Yun’an immediately bowed to him.
Because of the fear in his heart, Xie Yun’an’s face was drenched in sweat and his eyebrows were soaked.
A Law Enforcement Hall was set by the Martial Market Bank in each district. Shen Fengtian was the Master of the Law Enforcement Hall in the Seventh District.
Both the Law Enforcement Hall and the School of the Martial Market belonged to the Martial Market Bank.
The School of the Martial Market trained qualified talents for the Martial Market Bank. Its training was conducted in the Outer Palace, the Outer Palace, and the Saint Academy. It carried out cultivation from childhood and had a perfect teaching system.
Those who could graduate from the Saint Academy would become high-ranking officials in the Martial Market Bank. They would have superior rights and a lot of resources.
The Law Enforcement Hall recruited talents for the School of the Martial Market.
In terms of talent, the entrance requirements for the Law Enforcement Hall were lower than that of the School of the Martial Market.
Any extraordinary warrior had a chance to enter the Law Enforcement Hall.
People in the Law Enforcement Hall had not been trained since childhood. Most developed profound martial cultivation before joining the Martial Market Bank.
The other people were not admitted into the Saint Academy for lack of exceptional talent. Thus, they had to join the Law Enforcement Hall.
Therefore, the Martial Market Bank laid more emphasis on the School of the Martial Market and input plenty of resources to it.
Certainly, warriors from the Law Enforcement Hall also had great rights. The Martial Market Bank assigned many shady things to them.
Shen Fengtian’s face had a scar and a cold draught of air encircled his body. He glanced at Xie Yun’an. In a cold voice, without any emotional turmoil, he said, “Where is the Orange Star Emissary?”
Xie Yun’an shook and knelt down on the ground with a loud sound. “She… she has run away. Please spare my life, spare my life, Master of the Hall… It’s none of my business. She was released by Zhang Ruochen.”
Shen Fengtian’s eyes turned green and he looked at Zhang Ruochen. He said, “Did you release the Orange Star Emissary?”
Xie Yun’an, who had reached the Fish-dragon Realm, was frightened to kneel down in front of Shen Fengtian. Shen Fengtian was a very powerful figure.
Zhang Ruochen on the other hand was fearless. He said calmly. “Of course not. The Orange Star Emissary was rescued by Di Yi. Elder Xie just said the same to me personally.”
Shen Fengtian knit his brows and immediately turned back. He stared at Xie Yun’an, saying, “Did Di Yi come here?”
“Yes. He rescued the Orange Star Emissary,” Xie Yun’an said. “I’m sure that it must have been him.”
BAM!
Shen Fengtian flung up his arms and struck Xie Yun’an. Xie Yun’an was flung back and slammed against a stone wall.
“Crap, how dare you release both the Emissary and the young master of Black Market Excellence Hall!? I’ll fix you when I return.”
Although Shen Fengtian was yelling at Xie Yun’an, his eyes were fixed on Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen stared fearlessly at Shen Fengtian, with a smile on his face.
Shen Fengtian snorted and swung his sleeves. He left to chase Di Yi and the Orange Star Emissary.
If he could get them, he would gain great merit.
Zhang Ruochen looked at the stone wall in the distance. Xie Yun’an climbed out from a pile of stones. He spat blood and glared at Zhang Ruochen. Then, he left.
The air was cold and there was a bright moon in the sky.
As if nothing had happened, Zhang Ruochen held the Abyss Ancient Sword and practiced Sacred Guiding Sword in the yard. He practiced and pondered this movement repeatedly, in an attempt to understand its quintessence.
A manor of Saint Bu Gentry in the Seventh District.
The Orange Star Emissary returned to her natural shape. She was dressed in an orange robe and wore a veil. She had a graceful figure and extraordinary temperament.
She stood in the air as if floating on a mass of mist. She looked at Bu Qianfan. “I’ll pay you back for saving my life.”
SWISH!
Her tender body glittered with brilliance. She flew out of the manor and disappeared into the night.
Bu Qianfan clasped his hands behind him and looked solemn. He glanced in the direction of the Orange Star Emissary’s departure and stood still for a long time, as if he had become a sculpture.
“Young master, she is only an evil woman sent by Di Yi to disturb your heart state. If you keep being infatuated with her, you’ll be defeated again the next time you meet him.” A skinny elder came out of the darkness and spoke in a hoarse voice.
Bu Qianfan exhaled and withdrew his eyes. “I understand.”
“Didn’t you harden yourself against affection last time you went to the Death Primitive World?” The elder continued.
Bu Qianfan stayed silent for a long time before replying, “Tenth Uncle, I’m going to the Death Primitive World again. This time, I’ll practice for half a year.”
“Young master… You shouldn’t be too impulsive,” the elder advised. “The Death Primitive World is very dangerous. If you are careless, you could die. The last time you went there, you were almost…”
Bu Qianfan waved his hand. “I’m not being impulsive. I’m clear about what I’m doing. I not only want to practice the Iron and Blood Martial Classics, but also the Treasured Bodies of Double Spirits. Before breaking through the Fish-dragon Realm, I must accomplish Treasured Bodies of Double Spirits. Only in this way, can I compete with Zhang Ruochen in the future.”
The elder breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself, “Great! The Young Master isn’t infatuated with that evil woman anymore. He’s thinking about how to defeat Zhang Ruochen.”
After watching the battle between Zhang Ruochen and the Orange Star Emissary today, Bu Qianfan was worried.
Zhang Ruochen had defeated the Orange Star Emissary in just 10 movements. He needed 100 movements to defeat her.
It meant that Zhang Ruochen was stronger than him.
He could only avoid being defeated by Zhang Rouchen if he practiced harder than him.
