Soldiers were talking to soldiers while generals were talking to generals.
The hierarch wife sent Gu Linfeng to get in contact with Huangtian Tribe, so Huangtian Tribe sent a crown princess to talk with him. Both of them were important people of the young generation, and they had a great say in their teams.
Which was why Zhang Ruochen didn’t get to meet Prince Xia.
That Prince Xia was a real force to be reckoned with.
After the interaction, Zhang Ruochen had a brief understanding of the powers Huangtian Tribe sent to the state of Tiantai.
According to Huangtian Crown Princess, they not only brought some of the top-tier great beings from the north, but also gathered some of the immortal vampire saints who had hid in the state of Tiantai for a long time. They had enough power to help the hierarch wife take control of Blood God Sect.
Most of the spies who had escaped Blood God Sect had returned to their true forms and gathered in Xingyun Mansion.
There was an immense number of great beings in Xingyun Mansion. It was a piece of cake for them to annihilate a sect.
Zhang Ruochen had been cautious the whole time.
After the negotiation, Zhang Ruochen said goodbye to Huangtian Crown Princess and left Xingyun Mansion.
He had already achieved what he wanted before. He had confirmed that many seniors from Huangtian Tribe were gathered here. He himself had already seen seven immortal vampire saints, and God knew how many more there were.
Carnivorous Holy Flower said, “So much nutrition. I really look forward to eating all the immortal vampire saints. After that, my cultivation will definitely be boosted.”
“You will have your chance,” Zhang Ruochen said.
There were wicked forces gathering in the black market headquarters, and evil was bred in the mud, which was why the rules of sky and land were a bit different. The sky was covered by dark clouds, and sunlight was not seen.
There were blue ghost lamps standing on the sides of the streets. The light was dimming.
Zhang Ruochen walked on the street by himself, thinking. Even if the imperial government and Way of Confucius come to Black Market Headquarters, they can’t mobilize an entire army. The best they can do is to send some powerful saints to encircle Prince Xia. I need the power of the black market to get rid of all the monks from Huangtian Tribe.
Black Market Headquarters was a sensitive area. Even if the imperial government sent a large group of armies here, the black market would fight the imperial government before dealing with the immortal vampires.
Just as Zhang Ruochen thought about how to send the message to the seniors of the black market, he sensed something. He looked around.
“Illusions.”
There was an illusion on the street, and Zhang Ruochen stepped into it.
However, that illusion wasn’t cleverly set. Zhang Ruochen saw through it easily.
Two guys and two girls stood at the four corners of the illusion. Each of them was holding a crystal, operating the illusion and trying to kill Zhang Ruochen with it.
“What? Four illusionists, who’re not even at level forty try to fight me?”
Zhang Ruochen found it amusing. After all, he was a mind power saint, standing at the top of the chain. Should he be revered by everyone?
Apparently, the four illusionists saw how young Zhang Ruochen was, and that he happened to be dressed like a rich kid, so they wanted to kill him and rob him of his wealth.
Many great beings of the evil way gathered in the Black Market Headquarters. Most of the wicked way powers had their headquarters established here.
There were no police, only the law of nature. Killings happened every day, and many people who came from prominent families lost their lives here.
The four people who manipulated the illusion were disciples from Tianluo Sect, one of the most prominent wicked way powers in the Black Market Headquarters. They not only practiced martial arts, but also practiced mind power and illusions. They had their fame in the state of Tiantai, and they were called ‘Wicked Four of Tianluo.’
The oldest one was called Lu Yi, and he was a level-three half saint. He was proficient in mind power and illusions.
Lu Yi was holding an illusion crystal, controlling the illusion. He said to Chen Shunan, who was standing at the southwest corner, “Third brother, that brat has been trapped in our illusion. Kill him.”
Chen Shunan looked skinny. He smiled wickedly, carrying a two-foot-long sword and trying to slash Zhang Ruochen.
“What a fool. He dares trespass in the black market headquarters by himself. How suicidal.”
Chen Shuwan swirled his waist, and the sword hit toward the spine of Zhang Ruochen like a trace of blue light.
Peng.
To the surprise of the wicked four of Tianluo, the short blade made a clicking sound when hitting Zhang Ruochen’s body.
Chen Shunan felt that his fingers were going numb, as if his bones were about to be crushed.
It seemed that the sword had hit an iron wall instead of a human being.
Zhang Ruochen exclaimed, opened his arms, and invincible destruction Qi gushed out of his body, tumbling like waves.
Pi Pa.
The short blade disintegrated.
Peng.
The right arm of Chen Shunan exploded, and the bones turned into ashes. He lay on the floor and made blood-curdling screams.
The other three wicked ones were all shocked. They knew that they were facing someone powerful, so they immediately performed their body techniques and tried to run in three different directions.
“Lie down.”
Zhang Ruochen infused his voice with mind power.
Lu Yi, Wang Qianfang and Hua Xue heard the voice of Zhang Ruochen. Their bodies trembled as if they were hit by lightning.
Peng Peng.
All three wicked ones lay on the floor. Blood flowed out of their sensing organs. They stared at the young man standing on the street.
They were all half saints, yet they were powerless in front of that young man.
They couldn’t even think of fighting back in front of a power like that.
He must be a saint. Because of his cultivation, he can stay young forever, Lu Yi thought.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t strike them harshly, otherwise, they would’ve been long dead.
He spared their lives because he wanted to ask them some questions.
Lu Yi climbed up, kneeled on the ground and groveled, “Saint, we’re just ignorant, and we’re so sorry that we wronged you. Please spare our lives for the sake of our Tianluo Sect master.”
Chen Shunan, Wang Qianfang and Hua Xue climbed up, kneeled in front of Zhang Ruochen and begged for his mercy.
Everyone else was nothing in front of a saint.
Only saints had the power to talk to other saints.
“Tianluo Sect,” Zhang Ruochen murmured. He tried to recall that name.
Zhang Ruochen soon remembered it.
When Ling Yufei was injured and turned into Beauty Shi, Zhang Ruochen fought the great beings from Demonic Sect to take her away.
Wicked way saints from the black market tried to take a treasure from Zhang Ruochen. The master of Tianluo Sect, Yao Ji, was one of them.
Zhang Ruochen curled his lips and said, “Your master is called Yao Ji, a divine fox from the half-human race, isn’t that right?”
“Yes.”
They were all relieved knowing that the saint standing in front of them knew their master.
Since he knew their master, he would spare their lives for the sake of their master.
“I’ve been wanting to visit your Master Yao. Lead the way, could you?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“Umm…”
They all looked hesitant, as they didn’t dare bring a saint back to their sect. What if he was an enemy of Tianluo Sect?
Lu Yi said, “It would be our honor for you to come visit Tianluo Sect. Perhaps you could tell us your name, and we’ll tell our sect master to prepare a welcoming ceremony for you.”
“That’s right! You deserve a great welcoming ceremony if you’re visiting Sect Tianluo,” Wang Qianfang said carefully.
Zhang Ruochen knew what they were thinking. He sneered, “I’m a confidant of Master Yao. If you don’t lead the way, then I’ll show no mercy to you.”
Great saint power emanated from Zhang Ruochen’s body, pressuring the wicked four from Tianluo. They almost fell on the ground.
At that moment, they realized that the young man in front of them was a saint, and there was no bargain.
Lu Yi, Wang Qinfang, Chen Shunan and Huaxue led the way in the front. Zhang Ruochen followed them with his eyes closed.
He walked while comprehending the saintly way, solidifying his level of second-trial pre-saint.
Yao Ji was a beautiful girl with three fox tails. She had transparent skin, and she looked like a fox angel.
“A confidant of mine?”
Yao Qiu received the message sent from Lu Yi. She looked suspicious, and several people emerged in her head. Those were all her confidants, but she wasn’t sure which one it was.
“Yi?”
Yao Ji felt the tumbling saintly power coming from outside the palace.
Peng. The bronze door opened, and the wind blew inside, whistling.
At the next moment, Yao Ji saw a young person standing in the center of the palace.
That young man stood there with his hands behind his back, and he looked dynamic. He was covered by blood Qi. She couldn’t see the true body of that person.
