“I told you to move away.”
Zhang Ruochen walked straightly with the stone beauty to get down the platform, as if he didn’t see Huo Yin.
Fire lit in Huo Yin’s eyes. He growled, “Go to hell!”
He threw his right fist to strike. The deafening sound of thunder and lightning was heard.
But before his fist could land on Zhang Ruochen’s body, the sound of bones cracking was heard.
Then, Huo Yin was thrown back like a kite cut from its string, falling into the nearby lake.
The cracking sound of bones was from the broken arm of Huo Yin.
All people felt astonished. They had seen clearly what had just happened.
Apparently it was not Murong Yue who hurt Huo Yin. Her cultivation was still far from that of Huo Yin.
Only some figures above the State of Half-Saint had seen the last scene clearly.
They looked at Zhang Ruochen with surprise. No one dared to look down on him.
“Only with one strike, he has wounded Huo Yin. He is absolutely extraordinary.”
“Of course he is. He’s the new Son of Deity of the Blood God Sect, Gu Linfeng. You should have heard his name often in the past half-month.”
“What? Gu Linfeng?”
“He’s the new Son of Deity of the Blood God Sect?”
The news that the Son of Deity of the Blood God Sect had appeared here soon spread around the Pearl Light Pavilion, causing a sensation.
More importantly, the Son of Deity of the Blood God Sect hurt a saint general of the Sacred Central Sect, and wanted to rob the stone beauty away from the Young Master of the Sacred Central Sect.
Many people rushed here to watch after they heard the news.
Zhang Ruochen took one hand of the stone beauty and left. Nobody dared to stop him.
Of course he didn’t leave the Pearl Light Pavilion, but went in a summer house at the lakeside. He went on checking Ling Feiyu’s wounds.
Sikong One and Sikong Two guarded the gate like two door-gods. Anyone who dared to approach the summer house would be thrown into the lake by them.
The soldier with a scar looked to the summer house with shock. He said, “How reckless Gu Linfeng is! He would dare to take the woman chosen by Kong Hongbi.”
The other soldier was a little worried, “Kong Hongbi ranks No.7 on the Half-Saint Rank. Nobody underneath the state of saint can beat him. The man is very arrogant. He can’t let it go easily. Your Highness, if Miss Murong stays with Gu Linfeng, she might get into danger.”
Bu Qianfan touched his jaw and looked even graver.
The soldier with a scar went on, “When I went to take the records of Gu Linfeng, I overheard that the Son of Deity of the Demonic Sect, Ouyang Huan, and the Saintess, Qi Yufei, had arrived at the Pearl Light Pavilion last night. If it is true, Gu Linfeng is seeking death by taking the stone beauty away from the Pearl Light Pavilion. Ouyang Huan would never let him go.”
“Ouyang Huan must have come to the Tiantai State. Interesting,” said Bu Qianfan.
“Your Highness, this thing will hardly go away. Should we do something about it?”
Bu Qianfan shook his head. “Gu Linfeng, Kong Hongbi and Ouyang Huan are the heirs of the top three sects. Unless they want war to happen among their sects, they wouldn’t kill each other here. Even if Kong Hongbi and Ouyang Huan did want to fight, they would only teach Gu Linfeng a hard lesson. They won’t kill him.”
The soldier with a scar laughed. “Now Gu Linfeng is seeking shame by taking the stone beauty away.”
“Kong Hongbi is not a person of mercy. He will surely break the legs of Gu Linfeng and throw him out of the Pearl Light Pavilion,” laughed the other soldier.
Although the two soldiers were laughing at Gu Linfeng, Bu Qianfan still worried about Murong Yue and whether she would be brought to trouble by him.
In the summer house at the lakeside.
Zhang Ruochen took out the recovery pill to feed the stone beauty. Then he poured Holy Qi into her head, helping her refine the pill.
But the meridians of the stone beauty wouldn’t operate at all, nor could she absorb the treatment from the pill.
Zhang Ruochen took back his palm and frowned. He held the shoulders of the stone beauty and looked into her eyes. “Ling Feiyu, what’s wrong with you? If you won’t operate your exercises to take in the medicine, I can’t save you.”
The dull eyes of the stone beauty looked up. She now had expressions and asked, “Do you know me?”
Zhang Ruochen was delighted. “You remembered you are Ling Feiyu?”
The stone beauty didn’t answer, but asked, “How do you know me?”
Zhang Ruochen had released his Saint Soul Territory to cover up the summer house, so he didn’t worry about exposing his identity.
He changed his look into “Zhang Ruochen.”
“It’s you,” said the stone beauty.
After saying the words, the eyes of the stone beauty became empty again. She refused to say any more words no matter what Zhang Ruochen asked her.
Zhang Ruochen sighed deeply and looked at her with a complicated expression.
Her saint soul wasn’t hurt and her memory was still there. Why did she lose the spirit of a Sword Saint, the pursuit for Saintly Way and the desire to live?
“Maybe the Blood Emperor Qingtian has cracked her will?”
It’s more terrible for a person to have lost her will than her soul.
Zoom.
Zoom.
Two wind cracking sounds were heard.
Two saint generals of the Sacred Central Crypt, Saint General Yan Xu and Saint General Gui Gu, showed up. They appeared above the lake, standing on two fog bridges made of Holy Qi.
Saint General Yan Xu was a middle-aged man with a strand of white hair on his sideburns. He looked at the summer house and appeared quite unfriendly. “Gu Linfeng, our young master wants to see you. Come with us.”
Zhang Ruochen frowned and looked at the stone beauty again. Then he changed into “Gu Linfeng” again. He opened the bead curtain, and walked out.
He glanced at the two saint generals of the Sacred Central Crypt, and said emotionlessly, “If Kong Hongbi wants to see me, then he should come here. I might meet him.”
Sikong One, to the left of Zhang Ruochen added, “That’s right. If he wants to see my Uncle Master, he should come here and visit in person.”
Saint General Yan Xu was irritated, finding Gu Linfeng arrogant. He sneered, “How dare you to ask the Young Master to pay you a visit! Gu Linfeng, aren’t you a little carried away by your success after you’ve become the Son of Deity.”
Before Zhang Ruochen could speak, Sikong One said, “What’s wrong with being carried away by success? My Uncle Master has such a high status in the hierarchy of his generation. Only a Young Master of the Sacred Central Crypt should dare to pretend in front of him! Don’t you believe that I will teach you a lesson with my fist?”
Saint General Yan Xu showed a sneer in his eyes, and said haughtily, “Do you think that since you’ve beaten Huo Yin, you can look down on the Sacred Central Crypt? To tell you the truth, Huo Yin only ranks 94 among the 108 saint generals. But I rank 16.”
Saint General Gui Gu added, “Gu Linfeng, were it not for the good relationship between the Blood God Sect and the Sacred Central Crypt, do you think that you could still stand there unharmed? If you are clever, you should return the stone beauty to the Young Master humbly. Otherwise, you will bring disgrace to your own head.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “I will take the stone beauty with me. It doesn’t matter who comes here.”
Saint General Yan Xu and Saint General Gui Gu both put on a sullen face and lost patience. They started to operate their Holy Qi to capture Gu Linfeng and bring him back to the Young Master.
But before they could take the move, Kong Hongbi showed up first. He stepped on the water surface, standing at the center of the lakeside.
Nobody saw how Kong Hongbi came here.
Which meant that his speed was faster than the eyes of all monks onsite.
Kong Hongbi was in the water blue brocade, looking dashing and outstanding with hands folded behind his back. Little ripples spread from his tiptoes.
He looked into the eyes of Zhang Ruochen aggressively, and said, “Gu Linfeng, you shouldn’t offend me for just a woman. It has no benefits for you. Send the stone beauty to me, and I will pretend nothing has happened.”
Saint General Yan Xu and Saint General Gui Gu landed from the fog bridges, both bowing respectfully to Kong Hongbi. Then they retreated to the left and right sides of him, looking at Gu Linfeng with smiles.
Although the Young Master looked peaceful and calm, they knew that the Young Master had lost his temper.
The arrival of Kong Hongbi made all monks in the Pearl Light Pavilion simmer with excitement.
It had to be told that there were only 20 or 30 humans of the Kunlun’s Field who had been listed on the Half-Saint Rank, and each one of them was a legendary figure. The appearance of anyone would surely cause a sensation.
Besides, Kong Hongbi ranked 7 on the Half-Saint Rank, and was unmatched under the state of saint.
If Gu Linfeng continues to mess around, he will suffer dearly today, many monks thought to themselves.
