Chapter 768: The Traitor
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Many people felt sympathy for Zhang Ruochen and thought that he had missed the best opportunity. From now on, he would no longer be able to match any of the Nine Kunlun Heirs.
Huang Yanchen blamed herself for dragging Zhang Ruochen down.
If not for her, he would have drunk the Holy Spring Water.
“I’m sorry, if it weren’t for me, you would have been able to sit on Heir Seats and become one of the Nine Heirs of Kunlun’s Field with a promising future.”
Huang Yanchen bit her lips. Her blue eyes, which were fixed on Zhang Ruochen across the table, became watery.
If Huang Yanchen had known in advance that Lin Yue might be Zhang Ruochen, she would never have let him serve as a royal bodyguard.
What kind of woman wouldn’t want her fiancé to become a big shot with great power and courage?
“It’s my fault, I’m too stupid. If I had known sooner…”
Huang Yanchen looked around and saw that there were young monks nearby, therefore, she had to bite her tongue.
On the other hand, Zhang Ruochen was quite composed. He smiled. “Being an Heir of Kunlun’s Field isn’t something worth bragging about. No matter how many practice resources you have, they’re only assistance. Finding the way to reach the end of Holy Road depends on yourself. ”
After the Kunlun Heir’s banquet, everyone went down the Scroll Mountain.
“Junior Fellow Apprentice Lin Yue.”
Gai Tianjiao’s voice came from behind.
Zhang Ruochen stopped and turned around. He gave her a salute with hands folded. “Senior Sister Apprentice.”
After drinking the Holy Spring Water, the Holy Qi flowing around Gai Tianjiao was abundant. It looked like a fountain of light, continuously gushing out from her as if her cultivation would break the bottleneck any minute and reach the Half-Saint Realm.
However, Gai Tianjiao wanted to attend Sword Technique Conference, so she suppressed her realm.
Gai Tianjiao approached Zhang Ruochen with a distressed look on her face and she asked, “Why? Your cultivation is high enough to secure one of the Heir Seats, why didn’t you fight for it? ”
Zhang Ruochen knew that after this Kunlun Heir’s banquet, many people would come to blame him, so he had already prepared for it.
Zhang Ruochen grinned as if there was nothing to worry about, and he said, “It is already great news for the Yin and Yang Sect that you secured one of the Heir Seats. As for me, I am satisfied to have been able to drink Great Saint Tongtian Tea.”
Gai Tianjiao knew that nothing could change after the Nine Heirs of Kunlun’s Field were selected, so she sighed and stopped talking.
“Haha!”
Suddenly, someone on the stairs of Scroll Mountain sneered. “Please don’t sigh, my Senior Sister Apprentice. Actually, it’s a good thing for Lin Yue not to fight for an Heir Seat. At least for me, it’s the best thing ever.”
A handsome but arrogant young man slowly walked down the stairs with his hands behind his back. He stared at Gai Tianjiao with a wry smile on his face, his eyes full of evil.
“Traitor, how dare you show yourself in front of me. I will cripple you right now.”
Gai Tianjiao became furious upon seeing this man. She subconsciously clenched her fists and flames gushed out of her pores.
This young man was the traitor to the Yin and Yang Sect, also known as Shao Lin, a disciple of the Four Symbols Sect.
Shao Lin shook his head and smiled. “Why is Senior Sister Apprentice angry with me? After all, yesterday is history, why can’t we let it go? From now on, we are both Heirs of Kunlun’s Field and will become the Empress’s disciples in the future. In this respect, we are disciples of the same family. ”
Gai Tianjiao didn’t want to argue with him. She stomped her feet, turned into a flash of flaming red light, and punched him.
Shao Lin’s cultivation was not as powerful as the eight other Heirs of Kunlun’s Field, so he couldn’t face off against Gai Tianjiao.
As a result, he immediately executed a superior class Ghost Level bodily movement and turned himself into a ghostly shadow. Gai Tianjiao’s fist landed on his transparent shadow and went through it. Then, he appeared again behind her.
When Gai Tianjiao’s punch landed in the air, her face became sullen. “Four Symbols Sect’s unique skill, Seven Star Diversion.”
“You’re right, it’s the Seven Star Diversion.”
Shao Lin smiled and glanced at Zhang Ruochen. “I’m not here to fight with you. I want to thank Lin Yue. If he didn’t beat the Third Prince of the Vampires, and if he didn’t give up the Heir Seat, I wouldn’t be an Heir of Kunlun’s Field, and I wouldn’t have the great opportunity to drink the Holy Spring Water.”
Shao Lin folded his hands and saluted Zhang Ruochen.
However, there was a smirk on his face.
Everyone knew that he wasn’t sincerely showing his gratitude to Zhang Ruochen—he was flaunting his success to Zhang Ruochen, as a winner to a loser.
Zhang Ruochen frowned, he felt that Shao Lin was a pompous person, every time he had some achievements, he would become supercilious.
A man like him would never achieve much even if he became an Heir of Kunlun’s Field.
Zhang Ruochen was indifferent as he said, “I never thought of fighting to be an Heir of Kunlun’s Field. Besides, I fought with the Third Prince of the Immortal Vampires simply because I didn’t like him acting so haughtily. You don’t need to thank me. From this moment on, I will fight each and every conceited man I meet without hesitation.”
Of course, Shao Lin was aware of the implicit meaning of Zhang Ruolin’s words. He sneered silently .”I have drunk the Holy Spring Water and my cultivation has surpassed yours. Even if I act conceitedly, what could you do to me?
“As an Heir of Kunlun’s Field , I will not only learn from the Empress, but I will also get access to countless practice resources, I will sleep with the most beautiful woman and will wield the greatest power. From now on, even the Saints won’t look down on me.
“Can you do that?”
As he thought of this, Shao Lin despised Zhang Ruochen even more. He smiled. “I really appreciate your tolerance, but we need to face reality. You were possibly more powerful than me before, but from now on, you’re no longer a match for me.”
“Is that so?”
Zhang Ruochen licked his lips and smiled faintly.
Shao Lin arrogantly stood up straight and tall, he looked at the horizon and said, “We’ll find out at the Sword Technique Conference.”
Zhang Ruochen glanced at Shao Lin and shook his head, feeling a little dull.“What an arrogant man,” he thought.
Were Heirs of Kunlun’s Field invincible?
Zhang Ruochen firmly believed that no matter how good you thought you were, there was always someone out there who was better than you. Anyone who thought himself invincible would eventually be defeated miserably.
“Senior Sister Apprentice, who is this guy? Is he going to attend the Sword Technique Conference on September 9?” asked Zhang Ruochen.
Gai Tianjiao’s flames gradually receded and she replied. “This man is Shao Lin. I first met him when I went down the mountain for practice. Back then, he was almost starved to death, so I saved him and took him back to the Yin and Yang Sect to teach him cultivation.
“He didn’t let me down. He progressed as quickly as you did, and soon, he became the most excellent genius in the Yin and Yang Sect. He surpassed me and Qi Feiyu in terms of talent in the Tao of the sword. At that time, the three of us were selected to enter the Sword Pavilion for cultivation and we consumed a large number of practice resources of the Yin and Yang Sect.
“Unfortunately, Shao Lin never respected these. After he reached the succeed level, he betrayed the Yin and Yang Sect.”
Gai Tianjiao looked at her sinewy arms and touched the rough skin on her face before smiling bitterly. “Shao Lin attacked me by surprise when I was at the most critical moment during practice. As a result, I lost the balance of Yin and Yang. Though I survived, I ended up looking like this.
“Frankly, even though he did this to me, I only blame myself for bringing him into the Yin and Yang Sect. I hurt not only myself but also my Suzerain.
“What I hate most is that he practiced martial art skills in the Yin and Yang Sect, was trained by the best Masters, and gained the access to the best resources he could ever have, but in the end, he represents the Four Symbols Sect and fights against us. This is the thing I cannot tolerate.”
Zhang Ruochen could feel the hatred in Gai Tianjiao’s heart. He thought that she was indeed unlucky.
She saved a man out of the goodness of her heart, but he betrayed her and she ended up looking like a man.
Gai Tianjiao was once called the head of the four beauties of the Yin and Yang Sect. She must have been extremely beautiful before.
However, it was she who caused damage to the Yin and Yang Sect.
The Yin and Yang Sect spent a huge amount of practice resources on Shao Lin, but in the end, they brought up an enemy. They must have felt quite humiliated.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Since he is a traitor, I will seek revenge for the Suzerain during the Sword Technique Conference.”
Gai Tianjiao stared at Zhang Ruochen with red eyes for a minute before shaking her head. She sighed. “You may have been able to defeat him before the Kunlun Heir’s banquet, but now, after drinking Holy Spring Water, his cultivation must have reached a much higher level since he could again condense the Three Sects of Deity Print. You won’t be able to compete with him now. I think I’d better do it myself.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “If you two fight alone or have a battle of life and death, Shao Lin is no match for you. However, you will fight with swords at the Sword Technique Conference.
“Senior Sister Apprentice, your sword skill is not as sophisticated as his. You are no match for him with a sword. I think you should have faith and leave him to me.”
Gai Tianjiao thought that Lin Yue was underestimating Shao Lin.
She was keenly aware of the Holy Spring Water’s power, which was far beyond his imagination.
Gai Tianjiao didn’t pay much attention to Zhang Ruochen’s words and left the Scroll Mountain. She needed to return to the Sword Pavilion in order to prepare for the Sword Technique Conference.
Huang Yanchen stared at Zhang Ruochen and asked, “Shao Lin was able to secure the Heir Seat because of his powerful cultivation, and it has become unfathomable after he drank the Holy Spring Water. Do you really want to attend the Sword Technique Conference and fight him?”
Zhang Ruochen said firmly, “The thing I hate most in my life is betrayal.”
Zhang Ruochen then turned his back and left the Scroll Mountain.
Huang Yanchen paused for a minute before running over to catch up with him. There was something she needed to know, but she couldn’t talk to him just now because there were too many people around them.
Whether he was Lin Yue or Zhang Ruochen, he had to give her an explanation.
