The smile on Emperor Yi’s face, instantly disappeared, somewhat displeased, and he coldly said, “Just asking you to send someone to capture two ordinary martial artists, such a simple little thing, and you actually can’t do it. Qing Yi, this time, you let me down a little.”
Star Envoy Qing Yi said, “Zhang Ruochen’s Fourth Brother and Ninth Sister, although neither of them are considered strong, there is a group of mysterious experts that are secretly protecting them.”
“For the first time, I sent over two teams of glazed knights. However, before they even stepped out of the Eastern Divine Soil, they all died strangely.”
“The second time, I sent thirty-seven top assassins, led by Xu Tiantu, divided into six teams and set off from six routes. However, before they could even reach the Yunwu County Kingdom, they all disappeared again, with no sign of them.”
Hearing this, Emperor Yi’s face also became somewhat sullen as he said, “You get up first!”
The green-clothed Star Envoy stood up again and said, “Many thanks, Young Lord.”
Emperor Yi said thoughtfully, “Xu Tiantu became famous sixty years ago as the seventh assassin of the Blood Cloud Tower, and it’s surprising that even he has disappeared. So it seems that there is a huge force that is secretly helping Zhang Ruochen.”
The green-clothed Star Envoy said, “It must be the Martial Market Money Bank, only they have such a powerful force in the Eastern Domain that they can get rid of the experts I sent out twice without God realising it.”
Emperor Yi also nodded and asked, “What about the third time?”
The green-clothed Star Envoy said, “The third time, it was Senior Yuan Ying Half-Saint, who personally rushed to Yunwu County Kingdom.”
“Since the YuanYing Half-Saint senior is making a move, then it’s also a sure thing.”Emperor Yi finally let out a sigh of relief.
“Shoo!”
A withered and thin old man, like a giant black bat, flew in from afar, passing through the Spirit Mountain’s boundary and landing on top of a high platform behind Di Yi and the green-clothed Star Envoy.
Di Yi and the green-clothed Star Envoy immediately arched their hands and saluted that one old man, saying in unison, “Greetings to the Yuan Ying Half-Saint.”
The YuanYing Half-Saint’s dry palms covered his chest as scarlet blood, gushing out from his fingers, dripped to the ground.
Both Emperor Yi and the green-clothed Star Envoy were shocked, how could they not expect that a cultivation as powerful as the YuanYing Half-Saint would actually be injured by the other party.
Emperor Yi asked, ”Senior, how could this happen? Could it be that the Martial Market Chambers, would actually send a Half Saint level expert to protect two ordinary martial artists? ”
The Primordial Infant Half-Saint shook his head and said, “It’s not the Martial City Money Bank, it’s the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect’s Mu Han Half-Saint. Furthermore, I have also investigated clearly that the two groups of people we sent out were all intercepted by the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect’s experts.”
“How could it be the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect?”
Emperor Yi was a little surprised as his mind raced, saying, “Could it be that Zhang Ruochen actually has some connection with the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect”
“Old me is very seriously injured, it’s inconvenient to talk more with you guys right now.”
With a flash, the YuanYing Half-Saint’s figure disappeared above the high platform and entered inside a three-storey high hall to begin healing his wounds.
The green-clothed Star Envoy was also quite surprised and asked, “Young Lord, this matter is also too bizarre.”
Di Yi nodded and said, “It is impossible for the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect to start a war with our Black Market for a Zhang Ruochen for no reason. Could it be that Zhang Ruochen is him no, it can’t be.”
The green-robed Star Envoy said, “Young Lord suspects that Zhang Ruochen is that devil son of the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect?”
Emperor Yi shook his head and said, “It shouldn’t be, I’ve had a one-sided relationship with that Devil Son of the Moon Worshipping Devil Sect, and the aura on his body is completely different from Zhang Ruochen’s, so he’s definitely not the same person. However, even if Zhang Ruochen isn’t a Demon Son, he definitely has a great relationship with the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect.”
“Qingyi, this matter, I’ll leave it to you to investigate, and make sure to find out what’s going on.”
“Subordinate will go and investigate now.”
Star Envoy Qing Yi took three steps backward, then, turning around, he hurriedly left.
Emperor Yi’s gaze, redirected downwards, stared at the brightly lit Seventh City District, his eyes narrowed into a slit as he read, “Zhang Ruochen, who the hell are you?”
The Spectral Blue Star Envoy walked behind Emperor Yi and reported, “Young Lord, the people from the four great Saint Sectors are behaving quite aggressively, and have already made preparations to go and snatch the bride, so I’m afraid that tomorrow will be quite lively.”
“Is that so? Lol! Then, go prepare a bride price for me, tomorrow, I will also go to the Eastern Domain Saint King’s Mansion to join in the fun.”Di laughed.
The young master of the Black Market actually dared to go to the Eastern Domain Sacred King’s Mansion?
Those who didn’t understand Di Yi would definitely think that he was going crazy.
However, the Spectral Blue Star Envoy knew that his own Young Lord must have a foolproof plan, and that was why he dared to go and compete with Zhang Ruochen for the Yellow Smoke Dust.
Since he dared to go, he definitely had the certainty of getting out in one piece.
As for the ordinary bride price, Concubine Lin had already dispatched her subordinates to arrange for it, loading a total of ten carts.
On top of that, Zhang Ruochen had specially prepared three more major bride gifts, which were placed inside three jade boxes.
In the morning, the sun had just risen, and as the first rays of sunlight shone into the Seventh City District, Zhang Ruochen rode on the back of the Earth Fire Qilin, crossed the Famous King Street, and with the ten carts of bridegroom’s gifts in tow, rushed towards the Eastern Domain Sacred King’s Mansion.
Since they were going to place the bride price, of course, there had to be a figure of sufficient weight to travel with Zhang Ruochen.
Therefore, the Xuan Gui Sword Saint had dispatched two major disciples, Zhu Hongtao and Wan Ke, to follow Zhang Ruochen to the Chen Family.
On top of that, Lei Jing, Si Xingkong, and Chang Qiqi, also followed along, escorting the bride price.
In order to bring Zhang Ruochen closer, the Chen Family attached considerable importance to this wedding, and received Huang Yichen, in advance, to the Chen Family’s main residence of the clan, the Eastern Domain Sacred King’s Mansion.
The Eastern Domain Sacred King’s Mansion was located in the centre of the Golden Rainbow Continent, said to be a mansion, but actually occupied an entire urban area, covering an area of 800 miles.
Zhang Ruochen sat on the back of the Earth Fire Qilin and flew in mid-air, and after half an hour, he was able to see the city wall on the horizon.
That city wall, which was thirty feet tall, was made of white jade stones, reflecting a piercing light under the sunlight.
In fact, it wasn’t a city wall, it was just the courtyard wall of the Eastern Domain Saint King’s Mansion.
Flying a little closer, Zhang Ruochen looked around and saw that the inside of the jade city wall was filled with densely packed gorgeous buildings, spreading out from near to far, with no boundaries in sight.
Moreover, there was actually a Sacred Vein underneath the ground of the Jade City Pool.
Standing at the periphery of the city pool, one could clearly feel that the concentration of aura was climbing dramatically. Even, one could see a channel of holy qi emerging from the soil and slowly dissipating inside the air.
Chang Qi Qi had long been stunned, looking at the incomparably huge jade city in the distance, gulping down a mouthful of saliva, and asking dully, “Don’t tell me that this is the Eastern Region Saint King’s Mansion”
Second Senior Brother Zhu Hongtao glanced at Chang Qiqi and laughed, “Kid, are you scared of this? To tell you the truth, the Eastern Domain Sacred King’s Mansion has a total of 800 miles of circled land, and that one sacred vein under the ground is the sacred root of the entire Eastern Domain Sacred City, which has been deposited for hundreds of millions of years, and is twice as thick as the one in the Sacred Courtyard.”
“It is said that a total of 200,000 full-fledged House Soldiers are raised in the Eastern Domain Holy King’s Mansion, with the weakest cultivation level being at the Earthly Extreme Realm’s Great Perfection realm. There are more than five million house slaves, maids, and butlers, and precious spirit medicines and savage beasts are even more numerous.”
“In fact, there’s absolutely no need for you to think of the Eastern Domain Saint King’s Mansion, as a mansion, and you should rather think of it as a small country.”
Lei Jing exhaled a long breath, his gaze serious as he said, “The Lord of the Eastern Domain, it truly lives up to its name.”
Zhang Ruochen laughed and said, “Who is a weak family that can be passed down from the Middle Ages, all the way to the present? The Eastern Region Sacred King’s Mansion is just one of the nine cows of the Chen Family, and it doesn’t even represent the true heritage of the Chen Family.”
Second Senior Brother Zhu Hongtao and Third Senior Brother Wan Ke, both nodded.
For the Chen Family, the Eastern Region Saint King’s Mansion was just a central institution.
The truly powerful part of the Chen Family was its control over the thirty-six prefectures and more than twelve thousand counties in the Eastern Domain Divine Soil, and the underclass martial practitioners who followed the Chen Family’s orders were as numerous as the mud on the ground.
It was precisely because the Chen Family’s power in the Eastern Domain was so deeply rooted that even Empress Chi Yao didn’t dare to move them easily.
Thirty miles away from the Sacred King’s Mansion of the Eastern Domain, Zhang Ruochen and the others landed on the ground and walked towards the Sacred King’s Mansion’s western gate on foot.
The Chen Clan had already arranged to greet them long ago, standing on both sides of the avenue, with clansmen from all veins as well as countless slaves.
The Earth Fire Qilin underneath Zhang Ruochen was a sixth-ranked medium savage beast, and after transforming into its original form, it was simply like a small mountain of flames on the move.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
With every step, a large pit would be left behind on the ground.
Today, Zhang Ruochen was full of energy and radiant, and he was dressed quite elaborately, with his long black hair on his head tied up with a hair crown, wearing a purple Flying Dragon Robe, a white jade belt wrapped around his waist, and a pair of glazed treasure boots on his feet.
Such an attire, coupled with the mighty and domineering Earth Fire Qilin, instantly made the already very handsome Zhang Ruochen appear even more noble and heroic.
The young women of the Chen Clan all turned into nymphomaniacs when they saw Zhang Ruochen on the Qilin’s back, and they didn’t know how many of them were secretly jealous of Huang Yicun in their hearts.
“The number one on the Heavenly Ranking, Zhang Ruochen, is truly a phenom.”
“Not only is Zhang Ruochen a disciple of the Sword Saint, but he’s also so handsome. How is that one Foreign Race woman so lucky that she was actually able to gain his favour?”
“That one foreign race woman is indeed not worthy of a Sword Saint disciple.”A young woman whose cultivation had reached the Great Circle of the Heavenly Extremity Realm said with great jealousy.
Her name was Chen Ling Chan, a heavenly belle cultivated by one of the Chen Family’s main veins, not only did she have a high cultivation talent, but within the Chen Family’s younger generation of women, her beauty was also able to be ranked in the top three, and she was even more dainty than Huang Yichen.
In Chen Ling Chan’s opinion, amongst the young women of the Chen Family, she was the only one worthy of a Sword Saint disciple, as for Huang Yichen, an alien woman, what was she?
The other few heavenly daughters cultivated by the Chen Clan’s other main veins, after seeing Zhang Ruochen, all gave birth to the same thoughts as Chen Lingchan.
It was their births that were truly noble, and only then could they truly be worthy of the Sword Saint’s disciple.
Only, no matter how much they winked at Zhang Ruochen, Zhang Ruochen, who was sitting on the back of the Earth Fire Qilin, only stared at Huang Yichen in the distance from the beginning to the end.
Today’s Huang Yichen, too, was extraordinarily beautiful, wearing a blue Ryukyu Scale long dress, her skin as snow-white as jade, just like an Ice Fairy.
