Blackie hesitated for a moment and said, âIt was a crucial mistake. Even you, the top genius of Xue Jue Family, donât know about it. Itâs obviously a top-secret. As itâs a top-secret, very few people know about it.â
âTell me.â
Zhang Ruochenâs curiosity was piqued.
Blackie shook his head and said, âI donât know either.â
Zhang Ruochen could tell that Blackie knew. Blackie just didnât want to say it, so he didnât ask any more questions.
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen didnât press him, Blackie felt a little uncomfortable, it took the initiative and said, âActually, I really donât know what happened. Iâve only heard some rumors, but unfortunately, theyâre all groundless. No one can verify whether theyâre true or not. Itâs better to keep quiet about the things youâre not sure about. Otherwise, youâll be misled.â
âLetâs not talk about this for now. Guye Jing is in a bad situation. I mean, help her first,â Zhang Ruochen said.
Blackie walked to the bed and looked at the beautiful woman in red, âIâve expected that you would still save her in the end. As for men, as long as a woman is beautiful enough, theyâll jump in even if they know itâs a trap,â
âCut the crap. Hurry up and save her,â Zhang Ruochen said.
Blackie shook its head and said, âI wonât fall for her trick. Her tail is so powerful, so she must be faking an injury. If you want to save her, save her yourself. Youâre foolish, but Iâm sober.â
As it spoke, Blackie stepped back and pulled a distance away to prevent its tail from hitting it again.
Zhang Ruochen sighed in his heart. He didnât expect that a casual lie would make Blackie worry so much.
What should he do?
What else could he do? He had to do it himself.
âHelp me suppress the array. Iâll do it.â
Zhang Ruochen stretched out two fingers and pressed on Guye Jingâs glabella.
Suddenly, a mysterious and complicated Shenwu Mark appeared between her glabella.
Zhang Ruochen shouted and holy light burst out from his body.
A Soul Shadow left his body and rushed into Guye Jingâs Shenwu Mark through his fingers, entering her Sea of Qi.
Zhang Ruochenâs Saint Soul had been divided into six parts.
Even if one of them was trapped in Guye Jingâs Sea of Qi, it would at most be injured. Guye Jing could not control him, let alone devour his Saint Soul and steal his memory.
âSince ancient times, all heroes are lustful! Ah, I miss Xue Lingxian who cuts down all relationships, and was only determined to fight against heaven!â
Blackie exclamation, took out one after another array flag and arranged the killing array.
If the demoness in red were to suck Zhang Ruochen dry, it could still save him in time.
âŠ
âŠ
The Sea of Qi is filled with the crimson aura of the dead spirits.
Only by cultivating the top cultivation technique of The RÄhu Mountains, Nekromanteia Portrait, could such a special Demonic Qi be cultivated. This cultivation technique was no weaker than the Divine Techniques Tomes on Taiyi Divine Techniques Rank.
It was because of this that Zhang Ruochen began to doubt the legend of the Three great Demonic Sources.
Was the lineage of Demon Patriarch really weak in terms of cultivation techniques and Saint Techniques?
âŠ
As soon as he entered Guye Jingâs Sea of Qi, Zhang Ruochen was filled with regret and wanted to retreat.
Her Saint Soul was weak, but the Demonic Qi of the dead spirit was terrifying.
Zhang Ruochen estimated that he could only stay in Guye Jingâs Sea of Qi only for ten breaths. After ten breaths, the Saint Soul would be corroded by the Demonic Qi of the dead spirit and be injured.
Moreover, every Supreme Saint would heavily protect their Sea of Qi.
It was easy to break it, but it was as difficult to break in.
Why was Guye Jingâs Sea of Qi so easy to enter?
The more Zhang Ruochen thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Just as he was about to leave her Sea of Qi, Guye Jingâs voice suddenly rang in his ear. âZhang Ruochen, my Saint Soul has been severely injured by Wuma Jiuxingâs saber soul. Itâs difficult to reunite it. Help me reunite my Saint Soul.â
âYou didnât lose consciousness?â
Zhang Ruochen became even more vigilant. He looked around for Guye Jing.
âOf course, I didnât lose consciousness. Otherwise, how could you enter my Sea of Qi so easily? I let you in.â Guye Jing sounded anxious, âHurry up and help me. I can feel that Wuma Jiuxingâs Precept of Saber is about to reach my Sea of Qi. Once my Sea of Qi is ruined, all my cultivation will be wasted.â
Zhang Ruochen was silent for a moment.
âWhatâs wrong? What are you worried about? Do you think I will harm you? We just went through a life-and-death test. Donât you have any trust in me?â Guye Jingâs voice was even more anxious.
Obviously, the situation was critical.
Zhang Ruochen sighed. âHow can I help you?â
âMy Saint Soul is very fragile now. It canât be reassembled. If you let me absorb part of your soul power, my Saint Soul can be formed. Once my Saint Soul is formed, I can naturally mobilize the Demonic Qi of the dead spirits to suppress Wuma Jiuxingâs Precept of Saberâ Guye Jing said.
Zhang Ruochen asked, âYou want to absorb my Saint Soul?â
âDonât worry. Iâm only absorbing part of it. When Iâm fully recovered, Iâll give you a Quasi-Emperor Grade Saint Soul Pill to help you recover your soul power. I owe you a favor this time. Iâll help you resolve your inner demons,â Guye Jing said.
Zhang Ruochen had just refined the Stellar Soul of God. The Saint Soul was at its most powerful. Letting Guye Jing absorb some wasnât a big deal.
However, the Saint Soul wasnât a small matter for a cultivator. It had to do with joy, anger, sorrow, luck, talent, knowledge, memory, fate, and so on.
Who wouldnât want the Saint Soul of a Yuanhui level genius?
Zhang Ruochen would be involved very much once Guye Jing absorbed part of his Saint Soul. Even after becoming a god, he would be affected.
Could it be that Guye Jing was not scheming for Demonstone Engraving, but his Saint Soul?
Zhang Ruochen asked, âCan I trust you?â
âWhy are you so suspicious? Luo Sha and I are like sisters. If I hurt you, she will never forgive me. Besides, this is my Sea of Qi. If I want to swallow your Saint Soul by force, I donât need to discuss with you,â Guye Jing said.
It was the time of ten breaths!
Zhang Ruochenâs Saint Soul withdrew from Guye Jingâs Sea of Qi.
He was not stopped.
âHow is she? What state is she in now?â Blackie asked, holding a white array flag.
Zhang Ruochen didnât respond. His eyes were unprecedentedly cautious. He used the Heart of Truth to sense carefully, wanting to feel the portent.
He didnât feel any danger.
âIf only I still had Canon of Destiny with me. Path of Destinyâs premonition of portent would be more accurate.â
Zhang Ruochen was conflicted. In the current crisis situation, he should have saved her. However, he didnât want to get too involved with this demoness.
Unfortunately, even if he gave her Saint Soul Pill, she wouldnât be able to refine it. There wasnât enough time.
There seemed to be no other way.
Whoosh
Zhang Ruochenâs Saint Soul entered Guye Jingâs Sea of Qi again. âI can agree to it! But I have one condition.â
âWhat condition?â Guye Jing asked.
Zhang Ruochen said, âI donât want your Quasi-Emperor Grade Saint Soul Pill. Youâve absorbed a few percent of my soul power today. When you recover, Iâll also absorb a few percent of your soul power.â
This was an unfair deal!
After all, Guye Jingâs Saint Soul was far more powerful than Zhang Ruochenâs.
âOkay, I promise you.â Guye Jing agreed without hesitation.
She had no time to hesitate.
âPlease remember your promise. If you break it in the future, I can promise you that even if you are the successor of The RÄhu Mountains, I will make you pay a painful price.â Zhang Ruochen said.
âWe cultivators who want to become gods take our promises very seriously. You should rest assured. After today, we will be the closest allies. There will be no more suspicions.â Guye Jingâs voice came from the Demonic Qi of the dead spirits.
After making up his mind, Zhang Ruochen became decisive. He stretched out his arm and opened his palm.
The crimson Demonic Qi gathered like silk. It wrapped around his arm and sucked away his soul power.
Ten breaths later.
Zhang Ruochenâs Saint Soul withdrew from his Sea of Qi and returned to his body.
Blackie asked, âWhat happened? Why did you come out again? I feel that your Saint Soul has become weaker.â
Without answering it, Zhang Ruochen entered Guye Jingâs Sea of Qi again.
âŠ
After ten breaths, Zhang Ruochenâs Saint Soul came out again.
Blackie was too lazy to ask anymore. He knew that Zhang Ruochen must have been blinded by the beauty. He was tricked by the demoness. He sneered and said, âCanât you just solve it once? Is it fun to go in and out of her body?â
1
Zhang Ruochenâs Saint Soul entered the Sea of Qi between Guye Jingâs eyebrows again.
âŠ
After going in and out countless times, Guye Jing â who had been lying on the bed â suddenly opened her eyes. They shone brightly and the room was instantly filled with Demonic Qi.
Blackie, who had been dozing off, suddenly woke up and shouted, âBold demoness, watch as I suppress you.â
The array flag in its claws showed dense inscriptions.
Zhang Ruochen took three steps back and grabbed the array flag. He shook his head slightly and said, âShe has woken up. Leave the healing to her.â
Blackie looked at Zhang Ruochenâs pale face and asked in a low voice, âShe didnât drain all of you, did she?â
âShe only absorbed part of my Saint Soul, and itâs only one of my six Saint Souls. Itâs not a big deal. Of course, she didnât know I had six Saint Souls and thought she had absorbed 30% of my soul power.â
Zhang Ruochenâs pale face was completely faked.
Blackie was deep in thought, âIf thatâs the case, then itâs fine. She didnât want to devour your Saint Soul or kill you. Hehe, it seems that youâve made some secret deal with her. Are you planning to take the successor of The RÄhu Mountains as a concubine?â
âDonât talk nonsense.â
âLet me help her!â
Zhang Ruochen called out Sundial, placed it in the center of the room, and opened it.
âGo out and keep an eye on her. Once a Saint-level cultivator finds out about this saint mansion, we have to leave immediately.â
Zhang Ruochen ordered Blackie, sat down cross-legged, and continued to cultivate.
The most important thing now was to break through to the Great Perfection of Hundred-Shackle Realm.
âŠ
Two days later.
The House of Enchanteurs on Hoth was smaller than the one in Divine Domain of Destiny. However, it was more open and exciting, and the rules were much weaker.
Not only could they see the cultivators of the dark forces swaggering in and out of the house, but they could also see the cultivators of the small clans and the servants from the myriad realms in Celestial Court.
Information was well-circulated here, and the works of art, songs, and clothes of various civilizations gathered together. It gave people the feeling of traveling through thousands realms in one night.
Next to the House of Enchanteurs, there was a castle.
This castle was magnificent. It was made of huge rocks. It had a square, a martial arts practice field, a colosseum, and so on. Its scale was comparable to the House of Enchanteurs.
The difference was that this place was cold, but the House of Enchanteurs was graceful and moving.
This castle could be said to be the mayorâs mansion of Enchanton. It was also the property of the Enchanteur Chamber. There were 8,000 soldiers stationed inside. They were responsible for guarding Enchanton and protecting the House of Enchanteurs.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen was sitting in the hall of the castle where the VIP guests were received.
Sitting on the seat of Honor was a Supreme Saint of the Enchanteur Chamber. His name was Gu Yanzhi. He was a Supreme Saint from a small clan. As he married a woman from the Enchanteur Chamber, he then became one of the guardians of the House of Enchanteurs.
In the mayorâs mansion, Gu Yanzhi held a high position and was in charge of recruiting talents for the Enchanteur Chamber.
Zhang Ruochenâs current identity was Master Xun Mu, a master of spiritual-power in Dominion of Bloodysky clan. His spiritual power had reached the 58th level. He looked old and exuded an evil aura.
The person who had invited him to join the Enchanteur Chamber was Ji Wenwu of Ji Feng City.
On the blood spirit ship that had come to Hoth, Zhang Ruochen had already known Ji Wenwu as Master Xun Mu and had given him a jade stone.
What Ji Wenwu didnât know was that Zhang Ruochenâs Spirit was inside the jade stone.
It was with this Spirit that Zhang Ruochen easily found Ji Wenwu and set up a chance encounter.
In the battle a few days ago, spiritual-power Saint Masters of the Enchanteur Chamber had suffered countless casualties in order to control the array in the city. It was a time when there was a shortage of talents.
Ji Wenwu met Master Xunmu, a master of spiritual power. Naturally, he tried his best to introduce him to the mayorâs mansion.
Zhang Ruochenâs goal was to enter the mayorâs mansion. After rejecting them several times, he was half-pushed and half-dragged here by Ji Wenwu.
The most dangerous place was often the safest place.
What other place was safer than the mayorâs mansion of Enchanton?
If he wanted to hide, he would hide under Bai Qingâerâs nose.
Gu Yanzhi had already tested Zhang Ruochenâs spiritual power. At this moment, he was flipping through the information on âMaster Xunmuâ. After reading all the information, he finally raised his head and said, âYou donât want to join Enchanton?â
âIâm used to being alone. I donât like to be restricted.â
Zhang Ruochen said arrogantly. Even if the other party was a Supreme Saint, he wonât buy it. He was still weird and arrogant.
Gu Yanzhi said, âYouâre 1,400 years old this year, right? If you continued to be a loner, you might not be able to reach the 60th level of spiritual power and become a spiritual-power Supreme Saint. If you donât become a Supreme Saint, how many years do you have left?â
Zhang Ruochen had a serious look on his face. He lowered his head and thought hard.
Gu Yanzhi smiled, âThe mayorâs mansion of Enchanton is backed by the Enchanteur Chamber. With the Enchanteur Chamber as your backer, we can provide you with all kinds of sacred medicine and sacred pills to improve your spiritual power. As long as you work hard enough, you may have a chance to break through to become a spiritual-power Supreme Saint.â
âIs it for free?â
Zhang Ruochenâs old eyes were filled with joy.
Gu Yanzhi had learned from Ji Wenwu that Master Xun Mu was very petty and stingy. As long as there are benefits, Master Xun Mu would obey obediently.
Gu Yanzhi shook his head, he said, âOf course, itâs not free, but itâs no different from free. After you join the mayorâs mansion, you have to help maintain the array inscription in Enchanton every once in a while. Sometimes, you have to enter the House of Enchanteurs to serve as a guard or perform tasks assigned by the higher-ups.â
Zhang Ruochen showed a hesitant look.
Gu Yanzhi said, âIn Infernal Court, there are not many cultivators who dare to offend the Enchanteur Chamber, and the Enchanteur Chamber doesnât like to provoke trouble. So, itâs actually very safe to work for them.â
