âNow that things are clear, Ji Fanxin killed Lu Baitou and Shan Qiu. The Fane of Death and the Fane of Barasingha should stop investigating!â
Pan Ruo announced the result on behalf of the Fane of Destiny.
Before that, Zhang Ruochen told the whole story in detail. However, he changed Bai Qingâer to Ji Fanxin.
He had no choice. Bai Qingâer and he knew each otherâs secrets, so he could only let Ji Fanxin take the blame first.
The various forces were holding each other back. This was a major issue. The best course of action was to reduce it to a small one.
Yuan Qianmo obviously couldnât accept this result. He was about to speak.
Pan Ruo stared at him first. âWhy did the god of Fane of Death stop Ji Fanxin? Does Master Qianmo know about this?â
Hearing this, Yuan Qianmo finally understood why the Fane of Destiny had sided with Zhang Ruochen. They were dissatisfied with the Fane of Deathâs actions.
Zhang Ruochen deliberately put this matter on the table. He was clearly slapping the Fane of Deathâs face.
He found Zhang Ruochen even more displeasing!
Yuan Qianmo still smiled elegantly and shook his head gently. âHow would a saint realm cultivator like me know about the matter of the gods? I will immediately send a message back to the fane to confirm whether Mo Yunduan had really come to this star field on his own.â
âOn his ownâ sounded quite serious.
Everyone present wasnât stupid. They all knew what the Fane of Deathâs intentions were.
Despite their dissatisfaction with Yuan Qianmoâs current cultivation level, none of them exploded.
Yuan Qianmo took the initiative to change the topic and said, âZhang Ruochen, since you didnât die under the Arrow of Deva Path, can you continue saying what you didnât finish the other day at the House of Enchanteurs?â
At the House of Enchanteurs, Zhang Ruochen was about to tell Bai Qingâerâs secret and fight to the death with her when he was shot by an Arrow of Deva Path. Then, the entire Enchanton was destroyed by the Heavenly Retribution Talisman.
It was completely different from the current situation.
Now, Zhang Ruochen had something on Bai Qingâer, and he wanted to help her cover up the truth.
Ling, the fifth son of the Ghost Master, the Lord of the Dishastan, said, âCan you give us a precise explanation about the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin?â
When they heard the words superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin, the powerhouses of the major forces became enraged and locked their gaze on Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen was calm and collected. He spread his hands and said, âWhat is there to explain? I saw Bai Qingâer kill the Seven-Armed Elder and Xing Qian in the Divine Domain of Destiny. Moreover, my cultivation is low, so I canât be sure if Bai Qingâer is a disguise of another cultivator. Other than that, I donât know anything else.â
Of course, no one believed his words.
Immediately, several Supreme Saints released their Saint might to threaten Zhang Ruochen.
âWhat are you doing? Do you want to fight?â
Madam Nixuan sat in the hazy saint light. Only Supreme Saints and people with spiritual power over level 67 could see her face clearly.
Her words stunned the Supreme Saints and forced them to withdraw their Saint might.
Madam Nixuan continued, âZhang Ruochen has already said that he doesnât know. Do you want to suppress him and forcibly search his soul for his memory? Are the disciples of the Xue Jue family that easy to bully?â
Zhang Ruochen glanced at Madam Nixuan, feeling even more strange.
A Supreme Saint from the Nether Clan apologetically laughed. âThe superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin is precious. We just hope you can explain things more clearly.â
âZhang Ruochen is only a Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saint. What makes you think that he has the power to steal the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin? If you want to frame and kill him, donât use such underhanded methods,â Madam Nixuan said.
Beside Lan Ying, a powerhouse of the Paramount Realm from the Fane of Barasingha sneered. âZhang Ruochen is traveling with Ji Fanxin and killing the cultivators of the Infernal Court. This should be true, right?â
âDidnât he explain just now? He was controlled by Ji Fanxin and had to travel with her,â Madam Nixuan said.
Ling said, âThatâs too much to say. But as far as I know, Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin had a good relationship in the Celestial Court. They were close friends.â
As everyone was arguing, a voice rang out, âEnough!â The voice roared. âThereâs no harm in telling you. It was Zhang Ruochen who saved us from the battle between the Fane of Destiny and Ji Fanxin. Otherwise, the Fane of Destiny might have been wiped out.â
The person who spoke was the Supreme Saint of the Fane of Destiny, Lord Four-eyed.
He was one of the four Supreme Saints who had escaped from Bai Qingâer with Xing Luo.
The hall was completely silent.
Lord Four-eyed continued, âIt is indeed embarrassing. I donât want to say it, but this is the truth. Ji Fanxin is stronger than you think. This harmless Fairy of a Hundred Flowers could already be called a Paramount Realm Yuanhui-level genius. Zhang Ruochen is indebted to the Fane of Destiny!â
No one questioned Zhang Ruochen anymore.
It was not that they believed him, but the Xue Jue Family had Madam Nixuan and the Fane of Destiny supporting Zhang Ruochen. No matter how much they questioned him, they could not hurt him.
Then, the main hall began to discuss how to deal with Ji Fanxin.
What was Ji Fanxinâs next move?
How to rescue the Overseer and take back the Tensho Compass?
âŠ
âŠ
Half a day later.
Zhang Ruochen stood on a small asteroid and looked at the wormhole in the void in the distance. He was also thinking about Bai Qingâerâs next move.
She must have been seriously injured in the battle with Mo Yunduan.
She would have charged her way here and forced her way through if she hadnât already.
The one who killed Lu Baitou and Shan Qiu and took Gong Nanfeng away must have been the spatial jade turtle beside her.
Someone was approaching Zhang Ruochen. âIs there any doubt that your Highness has come to find me alone?â he asked, quickly gathering his thoughts.
Xing Luo put his hands behind his back and walked to Zhang Ruochenâs left. He looked at the wormhole and smiled. âIâm here to thank you. And donât call me Scion. Iâm no longer one.â
Xing Luo wasnât as arrogant as Yuan Qianmo, nor was he as cold and unreasonable as Zhuo Yunong. He was different from the top powerhouses of the Infernal Court.
Zhang Ruochen didnât dislike him. âItâs rare for someone like you to say thank you. I thought the Infernal Court respected strength. The strong donât look at weaklings like us.â
âIn any place, strength is the most important thing. There is no equality in the world. There is a natural gap between the weak and the strong,â Xing Luo said.
Zhang Ruochen said, âIs that so?â
âIf you didnât have great talent and your identity as the guide of the Intergold Tiger, I wouldnât be standing here and talking to you. This is the reality!â Xing Luo said.
Zhang Ruochen accepted all of this silently and said, âWell, at least youâre telling the truth.â
Suddenly, Xing Luo said, âI went to investigate Bai Qingâer and found some interesting things. Do you want to know?â
âI donât want to know.â
Zhang Ruochen turned around and left.
Xing Luo looked surprised. He chased after him and asked, âWhy?â
âMy attainment in cultivation is still too low. I donât want to know the secrets between powerful people at your level. Even if I knew, it wouldnât do me any good,â Zhang Ruochen said.
âKai Luo and Claflin, who shot you with the Arrow of Deva Path, sneaked into Hoth through the Enchanteur Chamber,â Xing Luo said. âBai Qingâer is missing! I ran into you, Gong Nanfeng, and Ji Fanxin in the starry sky because I was chasing after her.â
Xing Luo had suspected that Ji Fanxin was Bai Qingâer.
However, he later refuted this conjecture.
Firstly, Zhang Ruochen grieved against Bai Qingâer and was close to Ji Fanxin. If Ji Fanxin was Bai Qingâer, how could Zhang Ruochen not see through her? How could he not reveal her true identity?
Secondly, Bai Qingâer had no reason to kill openly in the Infernal Court.
Thirdly, he did not believe that a woman from the House of Enchanteurs would dare to do such a crazy and bold thing.
âHigh-Saint Kai Luo came to Hoth?â Zhang Ruochen asked with a cold expression.
The last doubt in Xing Luoâs heart disappeared. If Bai Qingâer was Ji Fanxin, Zhang Ruochenâs first reaction would more or less expose some flaws.
Xing Luo smiled. âWhy do you care about him?â
âI have an irreconcilable feud with the Heavenly Realm,â Zhang Ruochen said.
Xing Luo had obviously checked Zhang Ruochenâs information. He nodded in understanding, âItâs the Demigod Yan Yu. He saw a group of Heavenly Realm cultivators led by Kai Luo and Claflin appear in the Enchanton on Hoth,â he said. âWhether itâs the theft of the Tensho Compass or the loss of the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin, the Enchanteur Chamber is suspicious. Thatâs why, between you and Bai Qingâer, I suspect that sheâs lying.â
Zhang Ruochen did not expect that Xing Luo would be so vigilant and take the initiative to investigate Bai Qingâer. He said, âWhy are you so suspicious? With the power of the Fane of Destiny, we can just destroy the Enchanteur Chamber.â
âItâs not that simple.â
Xing Luo shook his head and smiled. âThe forces behind the Enchanteur Chamber are complicated. They even have a backer in the Fane of Destiny. How can we destroy them just because High-Saint Kai Luo and the others sneaked into Hoth? Unless we can prove that the Heavenly Realm controlled the Enchanteur Chamber and used their power to steal the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin and the Tensho Compass.â
Zhang Ruochen sighed in his heart. âXing Luo was smart enough, but his imagination was still not bold enough. He still did not understand how powerful Bai Qingâer was.
âControlled by the Heavenly Realm?
âPerhaps all the cultivators of the Heavenly Realm were played by Bai Qingâer.â
Thinking of this, Zhang Ruochen could not help but feel sad. He was also controlled by Bai Qingâer and had to help her cover up the truth.
After learning more about Bai Qingâer, Zhang Ruochen did not particularly want to kill her. However, his desire to defeat her grew stronger and stronger.
One day, if he could defeat her with his true strength, she would say, âSupreme Saint Ruochen, I have lost. I am completely convinced by my defeat. You are the number one person in the Yuanhui period. You are the superior that I admire the most. Neither Wargod Bloodximius nor Magnogod Huang Tian can make me admire you so much.â
This was the true joy of life!
Apart from Chi Yao, very few people could arouse Zhang Ruochenâs strong desire to win.
Zhang Ruochen asked, âWhere are High-Saint Kai Luo and the others now?â
Xing Luo pointed to the wormhole in the distance and said, âThey escaped to the Royal City of Hundred Clans through this wormhole. Yan Yu and Zhuo Yunong have already gone after them.â
Zhang Ruochenâs eyes became more profound.
High-Saint Kai Luo was Zhou Zhenâs Uncle Master, the Hand of the World that destroyed the Celestial Courtâs Formation Sect.
Zhou Zhen had told Zhang Ruochen that the cultivator who planned to destroy the Ziwei Palace and collude with the Infernal Court to cut off the new heaven and earth spiritual root peach tree of Kunlun was High-Saint Kai Luo.
Of course, High-Saint Kai Luo could not be the planner. However, Zhou Zhen could only know this level with his cultivation.
If he wanted to find out the giant behind it and dig out the secret, he had to capture High-Saint Kai Luo.
This was a massive breakthrough for him to take revenge on the Heavenly Realm.
The crime of colluding with the Infernal Court was too big. It was enough to bring down the gods behind High-Saint Kai Luo. It might even bring down many gods. Thinking of this, Zhang Ruochenâs blood boiled.
âŠ
Zhang Ruochen came to the bottom of the white deer carriage and bathed in the gentle sacred light.
Madam Nixuanâs voice in the carriage was quite young and very pleasant. She said, âYou are only at the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm, but you can fight with Lan Ying at the peak of the Thousand-Koan Realm. Wargod Bloodximius did not misjudge you.â
âWhy are you helping me?â Zhang Ruochen asked.
Madam Nixuan smiled and said, âBecause you are a disciple of the Xue Jue family.â
âI donât want to hear such lies,â Zhang Ruochen said.
Madam Nixuanâs tone became serious, âBecause you are valued by Wargod Bloodximius. He sees you as the future of the Xue Jue Family. If the world changes and something happens to him, you, your mother, and Lord Ming can still support the Xue Jue Family.â
âIf we lose you, we will also lose your mother. The Xue Jue Family can not bear such a blow.â
âMoreover, Wargod Bloodximius really likes you. He dotes on you more than any of his sons. He has great expectations for your future. He thinks you can make up for the lack in his heart and do what he didnât do back then.â
âIn the Xue Jue Family, Wargod Bloodximius is the heaven and the only belief. If I go against his will, do you think I have a place in the Xue Jue Family?â
Zhang Ruochen believed Madam Nixuanâs words and smiled. âSo, you are doing this to resolve the conflict with my mother?â
Zhang Ruochen and Madam Nixuan did not have a direct conflict or hatred. The conflict originated between the Blood Empress and Madam Nixuan.
Madam Nixuan said, âYou are brilliant. I wonât beat around the bush. You are the best person to resolve the conflict between us. I did let your mother down in the past. I have apologized to your mother and Lord Ming in front of Wargod Bloodximius. I willingly gave up all my rights. My son also went to the Battlefield of Merits.â
âHave you really given up all your rights?â Zhang Ruochen asked.
Madam Nixuan signed. âYou mean Hoth?â
âThe head of the family has announced that all the properties of Hoth now belong to me. If you hand over the properties of Hoth, I can consider persuading my mother,â Zhang Ruochen said.
Madam Nixuan said, âI can not hand them over to you.â
âWhy?â
Zhang Ruochen didnât understand. With Madam Nixuanâs attainments in cultivation, she was only one step away from divinity. Why did she have to take the little wealth on Hoth?
Madam Nixuan said, âQingsheng canât see your purpose in wanting the property of Hoth, but you canât hide it from me. Youâre leaving a way out for yourself to escape the Infernal Court and return to Kunlun, right? Iâm sorry, Wargod Bloodximius doesnât want you to leave. So, I canât give you the property. Instead, I will keep an eye on you and cut off all your ties with Kunlun.â
