Chapter 2066: The Four Heavenly Kings Gathered
The five other Emissaries Vigilant all rushed down from the top of the Blood God’s Altar as they cast their gaze at the underground space.
Although the Supreme Saint Xuefu that descended upon the Sect of the Blood God was just a blood avatar, it was not weak by any means. No one expected that after he entered the underground space beneath the altar, only to suffer a terrible blow.
As for what Supreme Saint Xuefu had encountered inside the space, the over Emissaries were naturally very curious but they dare not rush in hastily.
Supreme Saint Xuefu stood up, his face was very pale as a look of fear flashed past his eyes. He had never expected, even so long after the Blood God’s fall, the divine will he had left behind was still so terrifying.
Sadly, only his blood avatar had descended upon this world, and it was totally unable to resist the Immortal Divine Will.
Emperor Wen perceived slightly, and then glanced at Supreme Saint Xuefu, and said. “You are so bold, to actually touch the divine corpse, causing the Blood God’s Immortal Divine Will to revive.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were cold as he stared daggers at Supreme Saint Xuefu. “Supreme Saint Xuefu, while you are an emissary from the Infernal Court, that doesn’t mean you can do as you please. No one can blaspheme the divine corpse of our sect’s ancestral master. The Immortal Vampires are known to be bloodthirsty, were you trying to draw the divine blood out of our master’s divine corpse?”
Upon hearing this, Supreme Saint Xuefu immediately snorted and said. “Brazen, Zhang Ruochen, but you can forget about slandering me. I was just entering to investigate it and had accidentally triggered the Blood God’s Immortal Divine Will.
“Is that so? That I would like to ask, did you find anything? If not, please leave the Sect of the Blood God now.” Zhang Ruochen stepped forward and said.
Anyone could hear that Zhang Ruochen’s remarks were not only aimed at Supreme Saint Xuefu, it was an eviction notice to all of the Emissaries Vigilant.
For someone to be as bold as him, and took them for nothing, there were scant few if any among the Saint Kings.
Supreme Saint Xuefu’s expression turned gloomy. A mere Saint King dared to embarrass him again and again. Heavens damn him!
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Supreme Saint Xuefu yelled. “Although I found nothing on this altar, that doesn’t mean that there are no problems with other parts of the sect. For you to be so anxious to see me off, are you hiding something?”
As he said that, Supreme Saint Xuefu rose into the iar and flew towards the other places inside the sect, obviously not giving up yet.
If he was to find any problems with the sect, he’ll make Zhang Ruochen pay.
Seeing this, the other five Emissaries Vigilant all set out to investigate other spots.
While Emperor Ji Mie was not too fussed about this, but as an Emissary Vigilant, he still needed to do his part.
Not long after, the six Emissaries Vigilant searched through the entire grounds of the Sect of the Blood God, including Yingzhu Peak and Qianyuan Mountain, but they found nothing.
Forget the traces of Xue Lingxian, they did not even find Xue Lingxian’s aura at all.
It seemed that it was just as Zhang Ruochen had said. Xue Lingxian’s remnant will had already dissipated into nothingness.
On the contrary, when Supreme Saint Blackquill saw Du Mosheng, Pei Linhu, and the others on Yingzhu Peak, and almost could not restrain himself from striking at them.
Before the arrival of the six Emissaries Vigilant, Zhang Ruochen had already placed all of the members of the sect, including Mu Lingxi, Han Xue and the others on Yingzhu Peak.
Soon, all six Emissaries Vigilant gathered together again, and exchanged views with one another.
Supreme Saint Hunling waved his sleeve and said flatly. “Since there’s nothing wrong with the Sect of the Blood God, that’s the end of this matter. I should also return to the Celestial Palace to report.”
Such a result actually fit what Supreme Saint Hunling wanted.
With the presence of an Infernal Court emissary here this time, if there was any problems, it will undoubtedly damage the reputation of the Celestial Court, and allow the Infernal Court an advantage.
Moreover, this time around, the trouble had gotten big enough, and needed to be calmed down as soon as possible.
If this were to go on, it may very well proceed to the point of no return, and it will not be good for anyone, so the Celestial Palace will never allow such a thing to happen.
Hearing this, Supreme Saint Xuefu, Supreme Saint Aust, Supreme Saint Blackquill frowned. This was definitely not the result they wanted.
Having found nothing, no matter how bitter they were, there was nothing they could do.
After a pause, Supreme Saint Hunling continued. “The Celestial Palace had ordered, that no more infighting is allowed to occur any longer. If anyone dares to do this again, the punishment will be severe.
Supreme Saint Hunling’s expression was very serious. There were a series of infighting in Kunlun Realm, causing the deaths of many elites, and the impact was extremely bad, enough to incur the wrath of the Celestial Palace. Thus, a strict order was issued to restrain all parties.
When he said these words, it was undoubtedly to remind Zhang Ruochen, Zou Yu, and Mo Sheng. After all, the enmity the three had created this time was very deep, and it was impossible to guarantee that there would be no conflict again.
All three of them have the potential to become gods, and should anything happen to either of them, it will be a great loss to the Celestial Court.
Sayingt that, Supreme Saint Hunling did not dither as he transformed into a stream of light and few out of the Sect of the Blood God into the heavens, and fusing with his true body.
The face of Supreme Saint Xuefu was so gloomy that ice could form. Not only did he gained nothing out of this trip, he had also lost face for nothing.
Not only he did not find Xue Lingxian, he could not rescue Xuetu either.
After giving Zhang Ruochen a fierce look, Supreme Saint Xuefu turned and flew away from the Sect of the Blood God.
Upon seeing this Supreme Saint Aust and Supreme Saint Black Quill also prepared to leave, unwilling to waste any more time here.
Zou Yu rushed to the side of Supreme Saint Aust and said telepathically. “Senior brother, my Heavenly Tome of Light had been taken away.”
At the same time, Mo Sheng and Zhuo Gu also flashed to the side of Supreme Saint Black Quill.
“Senior Brother Black Quill, my Nethersun Wheel and Blade of the Voracious Wolf, and also the collected Demonstone Engravings had also fallen into Zhang Ruochen’s hands.” Mo Sheng said.
Zhuo Gu also said. “My Purple-Gold Demonic Spear and the treasures of the others were also taken away.”
Hearing this, Supreme Saint Aust raised his eyebrows and immediately looked at Zhang Ruochen, growling. “Zhang Ruochen, hand over the treasures you have seized.”
“According to the agreement the Heavenly Realm faction made with Yueshen, it only ask of me to let go those I had subdued, and did not ask me to return the seized treasures, so I cannot agree to that.” Zhang Ruochen said impassively.
Supreme Saint Aust’s eyes immediately turn chilly. “You seriously don’t intend to hand them over?”
“There are some things that you should not get involve with. If you don’t know your place, your end will not be pretty.” Supreme Saint Blackquill also spoke, his tone very threatening.
Zhang Ruochen did not show any fear as he sneered. “No matter how my end will be, I have no need for outsiders to bother about it. It’s impossible that you’ll get those treasures back.”
Whoosh!
Mu Lingxi, Han Xue and the others flashed out Yingzhu Peak and landed beside Zhang Ruochen.
“For you lot to have the cheek to ask for the items you lost to Zhang Ruochen, even I would feel embarrassed for you. Get out of the Sect of the Blood God, and stop being an eyesore here.” Blackie said with extreme contempt.
A cold glint appeared in Supreme Saint Blackquill’s eyes as he spat. “Where this that owl come from, and dare offend an Emissary. Die!”
WHOOOSH!
Supreme Saint Blackquill waved his hand as a sticky mass of demonic Qi blasted out towards Blackie.
BAAAMMM!
Great Emperor Ji Mie intervened, and easily neutralized the demonic Qi.
Immediately after, his face darkened and said. “Aust, Blackquill, don’t push your luck. This time, it was the Heavenly Realm faction who had picked the fight, since you lost, take the lost then.”
“I am a phoenix, many times more noble than a mutt of a bird like you. When I was running rampant back then, your ancestors were still sucking their mother’s teats!”
Hiding behind Great Emperor Ji Mie, Blackie shot back triumphantly.
A terrifying murderous intent appeared in Supreme Saint Blackquill’s eyes, and he really wanted to strike and cleave Blackie into pieces.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen spoke. “Zou Yu, Mo Sheng, if you have the ability, you can come back to retrieve your items from me at any time.”
Hearing this, both Zou Yu and Mo Sheng clenching their fists. They had lost far too much this time, not only did they lost many treasures, they also had to give their Canons of Truth to Zhang Ruochen. Those were canons of the Eternal Paths, and were invaluable.
Thinking of this, the two could not hlep but want to vomit blood.
Although Supreme Saint Aust and Supreme Saint Blackquill were furious, they did not lose their composure. It could only be said that when the Heavenly Realm faction negotiated with Yueshen, they had overlooked this, and did not mention anything about the right to the treasures.
The treasures of more than a thousand Saint King-realm powerhouses, including two divine artifacts, this kind of loss would be very painful to any major realms.
With Great Emperor Ji Mie and Emperor Wen present, and the fact it was not their true body who had descended upon the realm, they were destined to never be able to forcibly take the treasures back.
With things as it is, everything was a foregone conclusion, and it was useless to say anything more.
Supreme Saint Aust and Supreme Saint Blackquill’s expressions returned to normal as both of them took a deep look at Zhang Ruochen and then flew away.
Seeing the Supreme Saints on their side leaving, Zou Yu and Mo Sheng suddenly understood in their hearts that there were no hope of retaking their treasures.
Without exception, deep hatred appeared deeply in their eyes, wishing that they could flay Zhang Ruochen alive. Sensing the hatred from the two, Zhang Ruochen smiled faintly, and did not care at all.
If these two wanted to trouble him in the future, he will definitely make them pay a greater price, and there will never be such good luck as this time.
Soon, Zou Yu, Mo Sheng, and the Saint Kings of the Black Demon Realm all left the Sect of the Blood God. They did not want to spend a second longer at this place.
“Zhang Ruochen.”
Emperor Wen spoke gently, with a meaningful look in his eyes, saying. “One need to let go of something, so they can proceed further in another.”
After Emperor Wen left, Zhang Ruochen carefully comprehended his words, and sighed lightly. “With the world in chaos and destruction today, everyone just goes with the flow, how can you even just let something go?”
In any case, Emperor Wen had helped him cover up the secrets of the Blood God’s Altar this time, and he recognized this favor.
Great Emperor Ji Mie smiled and said. “Good job, to let both the Heavenly Realm faction and the Infernal Court eat dirt, that felt really good. After this incident, the Heavenly Realm faction should be a little more wary, but keep your guard up and be careful about everything.”
“Thank you for the reminder, Great Emperor.” Zhang Ruochen nodded and said.
Great Emperor Ji Mie said. “Well, with that, I shall return to report to Yueshen.”
As he said that, Great Emperor Ji Mie flew into the sky and towards the heavens in a flash.
In a blink of an eye, all six stalwart figures standing outside the heavens all disappeared.
Seeing this, everyone in the Sect of the Blood God heaved a sigh of relief. The trouble was finally resolved.
Zhang Ruochen looked up into the sky and many thoughts passed his mind. His strength was still weak. If he was strong enough, he would have no need to make compromises with anyone.
Seeing that Zou Yu, Mo Sheng and the others coming out from the Sect of the Blood God grounds, and then the Emissaries Vigilant leaving one after another, all of the cultivators entrenched near the sect grounds were very surprised.
“It’s really rare for Zhang Ruochen to actually compromise.”
“This time, the Celestial Palace got involved. As long as Zhang Ruochen is not stupid, he will never face off with the Celestial Palace.”
“No matter what, Zhang Ruochen is still the ultimate winner, making the Heavenly Realm faction lose face; and I’m sure that both sides must have reached some kind of agreement, otherwise Zhang Ruochen would not have let Zou Yu and Mo Sheng go so easily.
“I wonder what’s the situation with Xue Lingxian though?”
…
Many were very curious about what happened inside the Sect of the Blood God, but they had no way to get the answers.
And seeing that things had came to an end here, many left one after another, and did not stay for long.
In the Darkmourn Mountains, far away from the Sect of the Blood God.
Yan Wushen unleashed the ten-thousand times speed of sound ability of the Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light, exploding in a speed beyond imagination as he instantly crossed tens of thousands of miles in a flash.
“Pan Ruo, where do you think you are taking my disciple to?”
With a roar, Yan Wushen appeared out of thin air and blocked Pan Ruo’s path.
A powerful power of dimension surged, immediately enveloping a radius of hundreds of miles, blocking all of Pan Ruo’s path of retreat.
Sensing the changes in the dimension around her, Pan Ruo had to stop as a surprised glint flashed past her eyes as she clearly did not expect Yan Wushen to catch up so quickly.
“Naturally to bring him back to the Fane of Destiny.” Pan Ruo said calmly.
Yan Wushen snorted heavily and said. “He is my disciple, and you have no right to decide where he goes.”
“Chi Kunlun is the heir of both Zhang Ruochen and Empress Chi Yao. His person is very special and could perhaps be the key to deal with Empress Chi Yao. As long as he is brought back to the Fane of Destiny, we can naturally predict many useful things through him.” Pan Ruo said.
Yan Wushen stretched out and grabbed Chi Kunlun back to his side and said at the same time. “To make such a contribution, you would stand a better chance to become the Shennü of the Fane of Destiny. You sure thought things out.”
Chi Kunlun looked at Pan Ruo with a look of wariness in his eyes. To use him to act against Empress Chi Yao, this was something he will never accede to.
A surprised look suddenly appeared in Pan Ruo’s eyes as she said. “Yan Wushen, you are in big trouble!”
Yan Wushen frowned slightly as he whispered. “Those four sure are persistent. It seems like I had leaked my aura while fighting with Xuemo earlier, and attracted their attention.”
“Yan Wushen, lets see where you run now.”
A roar suddenly thundered.
Immediately after, four bright lights flew over from the horizon, occupying four directions as they instantly surrounded Yan Wushen and Pan Ruo.
The four holy lights shot through the heavens, like four heavenly pillars, suppressing this part of the realm.
In each saint light was a tall and powerful figure, such as a god descending from the heavens, absolutely majestic.
“The Four Heavenly Kings, aren’t you guys tired chasing after me for so long?
Yan Wushen looked around with a terrifying cold glint in his eyes.
After being chased by the Four Heavenly Kings of the Celestial Palace for so long, Yan Wushen had been pissed off since long.
If it was only one person, he may not even bother with them, but these Four Heavenly Kings had always been inseparable, and it was very troublesome.
The Heavenly King standing in the east wore white armor and held a white jade pipa in his hand, standing tall as he looked at Yan Wushen, saying. Yan Wushen, you can’t escape, so just obedientlyfollow us back to the Celestial Palace.”
“There’s even a candidate for the Shennü of the Fane of Destiny, take her back too.” The Heavenly King who stood in the south said.
He was dressed in cyan armor, and held a simple yet quaint sword, looking very powerful.
Hearing this, Pan Ruo could not help but to raise her head as she stared at the Heavenly King standing in the south, and said in a cold voice. “If you want to catch me, that depends if you have the ability to do so.”
Even in the face of the legendary Four Heavenly Kings of the Celestial Palace, Pan Ruo showed no signs of fear, but instead, her eyes were sharp, like a world-dominating Demon Queen.
