Chapter 1041: Told a Lie
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The new Son of Deity of the Blood God Sect was more overbearing than the words said. It had gone beyond the monks’ knowledge.
People onsite left him a new comment. “He has not only lust for women, but a desire to murder. He’s so badass that people should get away from him.”
All the other four commanders of the Canglong Army appeared.
Yan Tong, the best of them, stood out, trying to rescue Chi Zhongshan from the situation.
The cultivation of Yan Tong had reached the peak of the Ninth Level Half-Saint. He was the No.1 of the ten commanders, also the elder brother of Yan Honglie, and a well-known figure in the Sacred City.
Because of his connection with the Canglong Army and the Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion, he could talk with some powerful saints. He had the influence several times stronger than Chi Zhongshan did.
Yan Tong put on a smile, and cupped his hands. “Your Highness, Chi Zhongshan did offend you first. I apologize to you on his behalf. And here are three drops of divine blood. Please accept them, Your Highness.”
Then Yan Tong took out three drops of divine blood and handed them to Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t accept them. He gave a cold glance at him, and said, “Three drops of divine blood? Even 300 drops of divine blood are not enough to please me.”
Yan Tong’s hand stopped in midair akwardly. A smile froze on his face, and a fleeting coldness showed in his eyes.
The Son of Deity of the Blood God Sect was so arrogant that he didn’t even respect him. Did he really think he had become the Hierarch of the Blood God Sect?
Zhang Ruochen didn’t pay attention to Yan Tong, but glared at Chi Zhongshan with coldness. “Kneel and apologize. This is your last chance.”
Three monks of the Blood God Sect stood out and activated their Saint Soul Territory. They moved around and crowded Chi Zhongshan at their center.
Shangguan Xianyan, on behalf of the Blood God Sect, had brought a few monks here to unite with the Cai Family in the Sacred City this time.
But the monks coming along with her were all powerful figures.
Especially the old man in blood robes who had thrown Chi Zhongshan back, who had reached the peak of the Ninth Level Half-Saint, comparable to Yan Tong.
“Gu Linfeng, you push me too hard…”
Chi Zhongshan roared, blood veins of his whole body standing up.
“Do it,” Zhang Ruochen ordered coldly.
The three powerful figures of the Blood God Sect acted together to attack Chi Zhongshan. None of them had a lower cultivation than Chi Zhongshan. Therefore, he couldn’t escape.
The other four commanders of the Canglong Army roared at the same time, trying to help Chi Zhongshan.
Although Chi Zhongshan had offended him first, if he got humiliated here in the base of the Canglong Army, the reputation of the Army would be taken away and laughed at by all monks in the world.
But they were stopped by other monks of the Blood God Sect.
As for other soldiers of the Canglong Army, they wouldn’t dare to rush forward. It was a fight among high talents, and ordinary people would die there most certainly.
Qingmo walked to Huang Yanchen and stuck out her tongue. She passed words to Huang Yanchen silently. “Princess, Lord Zhang is so overbearing! He has become a totally different person.”
“As the Son of Deity of the Blood God Sect, he would get suspected if he didn’t act overbearing.”
Huang Yanchen’s dark blue eyes stared at Zhang Ruochen, and she smiled. “Besides, it’s natural to treat different people with different attitudes.”
Crack!
The sounds of two bones breaking were heard at the same time.
Chi Zhongshan’s legs suffered a powerful hit and broke from their knees. He moaned and knelt on the ground.
“Gu…Linfeng…”
Chi Zhongshan shouted. He pressed his hands on the ground and tried to stand up. But he was suppressed again.
Zhang Ruochen walked to Chi Zhongshan, and collected the three ship tickets from his body. He glanced at him, and laughed. “If you had given the tickets to me earlier, there wouldn’t be so much trouble.”
Then, Zhang Ruochen looked at the crowd, and asked, “How much is each ticket of the Void World Ship?”
“30,000 Spiritual Crystals,” someone shouted.
Zhang Ruochen took out a saintly rock and tossed it to Chi Zhongshan. He said lightly, “Business is business. I don’t take things from others for free. The three ship tickets are mine. Your can use the rest of the money to buy pills and cure yourself.”
“Let’s go.”
Zhang Ruochen held three tickets in hand and went to the Void World Ship in the head, appearing to be at ease and unconventional.
A huge splash was heard in the crowd behind him.
“What a Son of Deity! He’s so generous that he has tossed a saintly rock casually.”
“To get a saintly rock, even if I had to kneel for three days and nights with broken legs, I’d say yes.”
Another monk sneered. “Don’t you know that a man prefers death to humiliation? Who’s Chi Zhongshan? He’s a figure who will probably become a saint in the future! The Son of Deity of the Blood God Sect has made him kneel in public. It will surely become a stain on his whole life.”
“Although Gu Linfeng is ferocious, he is a man of principle.”
“Do you call that principle? It is a blunt humiliation. He tossed a saintly rock, but Chi Zhongshan would never pick it up.”
…
Chi Zhongshan’s eyes were bloodshot. He felt angry and ashamed, so he shouted and hit the saintly rock with a strong blow of his fist.
With a bang, the saintly rock was smashed.
Patterns appeared on the ground like a large thick cobweb.
“Gu Linfeng, I will never let it go!”
The Holy Qi of Chi Zhongshan spread up, shaking some innocent monks away.
The other four commanders of the Canglong Army all appeared to be furious.
Yan Tong’s eyes were grave and gloomy. Finally he pressed down his anger, and comforted Chi Zhongshan. “Gu Linfeng is arrogant because of his identity as a Son of Deity of the Blood God Sect. His own cultivation is low. After we arrive in the Blue Dragon Void World, we will surely have a chance to get back at him. Cheer up, now.”
“After I arrive in the Blue Dragon Void World, I will break his body into thousands of parts.”
Chi Zhongshan used his Holy Qi to cover up his whole body. He floated in midair, with the look of the strongest murderous intention.
Zhang Ruochen walked with Huang Yanchen and got on the Void World Ship. Other monks all fled away, worrying that they would offend this ruthless person of the Blood God Sect.
Zhang Ruochen appeared to be at ease. As a Son of Deity, he had to build up his might.
Zhang Ruochen passed words to Huang Yanchen silently. “Senior Sister, you just brought trouble to me on purpose. It doesn’t seem like you.”
“Really?”
Huang Yanchen said, “To my knowledge, you once had a fierce fight with the Young Master of the Sacred Central Crypt for a woman. And you even turned your back on the Demonic Sect and killed two saints of the Demonic Sect for her. Is it true?”
Since Gu Linfeng was Zhang Ruochen, the thing that they had done in the headquarters of the Black Market in the Tiantai State should have been done by him alone.
How could she not feel jealous that her husband had taken the risk to offend both the Sacred Central Crypt and the Demonic Sect and fight them, for another woman?
Huang Yanchen had the Gold Phantom Mask on, so Zhang Ruochen couldn’t make ouut her expression.
Zhang Ruochen laughed, “She’s just a friend.”
“So, you can fight the world for a friend, but not for me?”
Huang Yanchen stared at Zhang Ruochen straightly.
Kong Lanyou had practiced for 800 years and yet had an innocent mind. But Huang Yanchen had only practiced for 15 years, and she had grown so sophisticated. A single question of hers was too hard for Zhang Ruochen to answer.
Zhang Ruochen moved his lips and said nothing.
The more he said, the more mistakes he would make.
Huang Yanchen spoke casually, and stopped walking all of a sudden. She looked at Zhang Ruochen. “Chen, why have you become the Son of Deity of the Blood God Sect?”
Zhang Ruochen saw that Huang Yanchen stopped asking and felt a little relieved. “I had some important errands to deal with. It was complete coincidence that I competed for the position of the Son of Deity.”
Huang Yanchen ground her teeth slightly. “But I heard that the Son of Deity and the Saintess of the Blood God Sect will mate and practice together in the future.”
Zhang Ruochen knew that it wouldn’t be easy for him to get away, so he tried to calm himself down. “I didn’t do it for Shangguan Xianyan.”
“So what’s your purpose? What’s the errand that’s so important you can’t even tell me?”
Apparently, he had joined the Blood God Sect to save the Saint Lady.
But if he told her, wouldn’t things get worse?
“Alright! I was to approach Shangguan Xianyan when I fought for the position of the Son of Deity.”
Now he had to pick an easier side. He didn’t want to involve the Saint Lady.
After all, the Saint Lady was too outstanding. Once Huang Yanchen found out that he had a past with the Saint Lady, she would surely feel self-conscious, with a sense of crisis.
It wouldn’t be good for him nor her.
So he’d better try to hide it from her.
Zhang Ruochen put on a serious face, mixing truth with lies. “The Grand Elder of the Shangguan Clan, Saint King Que, was my teacher. He should know the things happened 800 years ago. But from the things that have happened lately, I doubt that the Shangguan Clan had deep connections with the Immortal Vampires.”
Huang Yanchen said, “You suspect that the coup that happened 800 years had things to do with the Immortal Vampires, so you approached Shangguan Xianyan for a chance to get in the Shangguan Clan and find out?”
Zhang Ruochen nodded, and said, “Even if the coup had nothing to do with the Immortal Vampires, I have to investigate it. And I want to know whether my teacher is still alive.”
But Huang Yanchen shook her head, “No, no…”
“What’s wrong?” Zhang Ruochen didn’t change his face.
Huang Yanchen said, “You have the ability to change your appearance, which makes it so easy for you to get in the Shangguan Clan. Why should you approach Shangguan Xianyan in the Blood God Sect? Wouldn’t it be a little harder in this way?”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t expect Huang Yanchen to have become so cautious now. He found it a little hard to adapt to it.
He told a lie, and now he had to tell more lies to make up for it. At the end, he would expose more weak points.
Meanwhile, the wind of fragrance came to them.
Then, rings of white saint lights spread out between Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen. An extremely beautiful woman stood in the middle of them.
Shangguan Xianyan smiled with enchantment. “Your Highness, the way you dealt with Chi Zhongshan was full of the character of the Blood God Sect.”
The Cai Family and the Blood God Sect had ordered the ship tickets in advance. Hundreds of Half-Saints all had gotten onboard the same ship with Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen.
“Follow me. I have some important errands to discuss with you alone. It’s top secret to our sect. Nobody should know it besides us.”
Shangguan Xianyan added “alone” deliberately. She glanced at Huang Yanchen with demonstration and provocation. Then, she reached out a soft hand to catch Zhang Ruochen’s wrist, and walked to a cabin underneath the deck, appearing to be intimate with him.
Zhang Ruochen was struggling to find an answer to Huang Yanchen’s questions. The coming of Shangguan Xianyan helped him out.
But wouldn’t the misunderstanding between them grow deeper?
