As if looking at a little girl, the Spectral Blue Star Envoy stared contemptuously at the Red Desire Star Envoy and said, “From now on, everything in the Fallen God Mansion will be handed over to me to take over. You can return to Evil Emperor City!”
“On what grounds?”The Red Lust Star Envoy said in a cold voice.
The Phantom Blue Star Envoy took two steps forward, a powerful martial aura erupted from himself and crushed over, shocking all the evil martial artists present and sending them backwards.
Only after walking all the way to the Red Desire Star Envoy’s front did the Spectral Blue Star Envoy coldly say, “This is the Young Lord’s order, could it be that you even dare to disobey the Young Lord’s order?”
Surprisingly, it was Di Yi’s order.
In the Red Desire Star Envoy’s heart, an unsettling premonition arose, could it be that Emperor Yi had already sensed her ambitions and was ready to start dealing with her?
After the great battle in the Eastern Domain Sacred City, a series of huge repercussions had been caused.
Among them, the most immediate one was that some of the black market forces that were once hidden in the Eastern Domain Sacred Land were subjected to a double suppression by the imperial court and the Martial Market Money Bank, and had to immediately withdraw to the Eastern Domain Evil Land.
The senior management of the black market had already made the decision that these black market forces that had withdrawn to the Eastern Region Evil Land would all be placed in the eighteen counties of the Fallen God’s Prefecture.
Among them, Qingyun County, which was the closest to the Fallen God Mountain Range at the edge of the Fallen God County, was again the top priority.
In other words, at this time, whoever grasped Qing Yun County, then, was tantamount to grasping this batch of black market forces withdrawing to the Eastern Region Evil Lands.
The Red Desire Star Envoy had managed to secure the opportunity to be the first to arrive at Qing Yun County to co-ordinate and set up, so how could she possibly hand over such a large piece of fat meat to the Phantom Blue Star Envoy just because of a single word from Di Yi?
However, her wings were not yet fully fledged now, and she was simply unable to get tough with Emperor Yi.
If she didn’t follow Emperor Yi’s orders and continued to stay in Qing Yun County, Emperor Yi would definitely use his thunderous means to get rid of her in order to eliminate any future troubles.
What to do?
The Red Desire Star Envoy could only stabilise the Phantom Blue Star Envoy first, preparing to stall for as long as possible, and then, think about countermeasures.
After nightfall, the Red Desire Star Envoy gathered a few of his strongest beloved subordinates around him and thought about countermeasures together.
How could these evil cultivators dare to offend Emperor Yi?
All of them advised the Red Desire Star Envoy not to get tough with Emperor Yi at this stage, so as not to offend him. In a word, she was told to keep her tail between her legs, to hold back first, then to hold back again, and finally to hold back.
It was only after those evil martial artists left that the Red Desire Star Envoy angrily smashed the wine jug out, his eyes were filled with a cold light as he said in a cold voice, “Normally, one is more brutal than the other, one is more arrogant than the other, but when they hear Emperor Yi’s name, they all turn into grandchildren in fear, and not one of them can be used seriously.”
Some of the demons were apprehensive, and hesitantly said, “Everyone is well aware of Di Yi’s methods. Moreover, Di Yi’s side is full of experts and talents, even after losing the Green Robe Star Envoy, Yellow God Star Envoy, and Orange Moon Star Envoy, there are still three major Star Envoys following him around. Any one of the Star Envoys will be able to kill us with a single strike. Who would not be afraid?
The Red Desire Star Envoy glared at Demon Demon with a chilling light and said, ”Even you think that I should return to Evil Emperor City in disgrace? Be submissive to Emperor Yi in the future and not be able to resist?”
“Dang!”
Demon’s heart was shocked, her face turned pale, and she immediately knelt on the ground.
However, she did not say a word.
Obviously, she did feel that the wisest decision for the Red Desire Star Ambassador was to return to Evil Emperor City. Right now, if one were to go to war with Emperor Yi, it would be tantamount to striking a stone with an egg.
When the Red Desire Star Envoy saw the Demon’s expression, she became even more disappointed.
In her heart, she was rather unwilling.
This time, coming to the Fallen God’s Mansion to co-ordinate the dispatching of the black market forces in the Eastern Divine Lands was an opportunity for the Red Desire Star Envoy to buy people’s hearts and increase her influence.
If he lost this opportunity, how would he be able to compete with Emperor Yi in the future?
The Red Desire Star Envoy walked out of the Great Hall with a very complicated mood, walking forward while thinking of a strategy to deal with it, and without realising it, she walked outside Zhang Ruochen’s compound.
She stopped and glanced inside, only to see that the room’s lamps and candles were still lit.
Thus, the Red Desire Star Envoy pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.
“Lord Star Envoy, visiting late at night, I wonder what is the reason for your visit?”
Zhang Ruochen’s voice resounded inside the room.
The Red Desire Star Envoy walked under the moonlight as if he were a dark elf, and walked until he reached the bottom of a maple tree before stopping, his tone tinged with a bit of fatigue as he said, “There are indeed a few things that I want to talk to you about.”
“Wow!”
The door of the guest room opened, and Zhang Ruochen, wearing a white robe and holding a pot of tea, walked out from inside. He then gently closed the door again and walked over to the Red Desire Star Envoy, saying, “If Lord Star Envoy has something to say, there’s no harm in speaking.”
The two of them sat down right next to a stone table in the courtyard, opposite each other, both of their expressions very calm, appearing extraordinarily quiet, and only the sound of rustling wind could be heard around them.
After a long time, the Red Desire Star Envoy made straight, her face was devoid of winks and appeared extremely graceful, like a beauty coming out of a scroll. Her two crystal red lips opened slightly as she said slowly, “The Young Lord sent someone to pass on the order for me to return to Evil Emperor City, so maybe we’ll have to leave Qing Yun County tomorrow.”
Zhang Ruochen carefully observed the Red Desire Star Envoy’s eyes and gained some insight, saying, “As I observe Lord Star Envoy’s eyes, there seems to be a look of unwillingness. Could it be that Lord Star Envoy, is unwilling to return to Evil Emperor City?”
The Red Desire Star Envoy stared at Zhang Ruochen with considerable surprise, smiled, and said, “As expected, those who are able to become Spiritual Power Masters are all smart people.”
“Truth be told, this Star Envoy has come to Qingyun County this time to take over a group of black market forces that have moved back to the Eastern Evil Lands from the Eastern Divine Lands. Now, it’s true that I don’t want to go back. But the Young Lord’s order cannot be disobeyed. Do you have any methods that can help me stay in Qing Yun County?”
In fact, the Red Desire Star Envoy was just making a casual remark, not even thinking that Zhang Ruochen would be able to come up with a countermeasure for her. After all, if she couldn’t come up with a solution with her intelligence, could this person be even smarter than her?
Zhang Ruochen pondered for a moment, lifted the teapot and poured a cup full for the Red Desire Star Envoy, saying, “It’s actually not that difficult.”
The Red Desire Star Envoy’s heart stirred, and a pair of stunningly beautiful eyes immediately stared towards Zhang Ruochen as she hurriedly asked, “You have a countermeasure?”
Zhang Ruochen lightly said, “The most decisive way, directly kill the person who came to pass the order, and the Star Envoy will pretend to know nothing about it. In this way, you have not disobeyed the Young Lord’s orders, and you can continue to stay in Qing Yun County. Isn’t that right?”
The Red Desire Star Envoy smiled, her eyes darkened, and she couldn’t help but shake her head.
Originally, she had thought that Zhang Ruochen really had some brilliant plan, but she had never thought that it was just a bad idea.
However, Zhang Ruochen’s guts still made her very appreciative, at least he wasn’t intimidated by the names of Emperor Yi and the Phantom Blue Star Envoy.
The Red Lust Star Envoy moved elegantly as she picked up her teacup and gently took a sip, saying, “You don’t know, the person who came to deliver the order is one of the Seven Star Envoys, the Phantom Blue Star Envoy, and it’s not something that you can just say you can kill.”
It had to be said that the Red Desire Star Envoy was worthy of being a Saint’s heir, in its seductive moments, it was able to charm people to the core. In its gracefulness, it was simply more noble, elegant, and beautiful than an Imperial Princess.
“I don’t think so.”
Zhang Ruochen’s finger gently tapped on the tabletop and added, “If Lord Star Envoy wants to compete for the position of Young Lord, now is the best time to kill Star Envoy Yuyi Lan. Killing him is equal to cutting off Emperor One’s arm.”
The Red Desire Star Envoy’s eyes chilled as she raised her slender arm and with a bang, slammed her palm onto the top of the stone table and said in a cold voice, “Such treacherous words, how dare you say them, believe it or not, I can kill you right now?”
Zhang Ruochen, however, still looked very calm as he said, “If Lord Star Envoy doesn’t want to compete for the position of Young Lord, why is he unwilling to return to Evil Emperor City?”
The Red Desire Star Envoy stared tightly at Zhang Ruochen’s eyes, seeing Zhang Ruochen’s calm and collected appearance. Afterwards, she put away the murderous aura on her body and smiled, saying, “You are indeed very smart, and yes, I do want to take the position of Young Lord. However, your method won’t work because, with my current power, I can’t kill the Phantom Blue Star Envoy yet.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “I am able to help the Star Envoy Lord.”
“You?”
The Red Desire Star Envoy shook his head and said, “Your strength is, indeed, not bad. However, the cultivation of the Phantom Blue Star Envoy has already reached the peak of the Sixth Transformation of the Fish Dragon. Moreover, on his body, he also possesses a Sacred Artifact and some undercards, which are enough to compete with cultivators of the Fish Dragon Ninth Transformation.”
“Although, he’s not a Saint Body, but, in the same realm, he’s not much weaker than a Saint Body. Even if the cultivators of the Red Willow Villa attack together, they may not be able to kill him. Your strength to fight Ji Ghost and Luo Shi is still a struggle, how can you be his opponent?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “This time is the same as the other time.”
Zhang Ruochen unleashed his spiritual power, and the surrounding heaven and earth aura began to vibrate violently, transforming into purple electric light that converged behind him, condensing into a huge lightning god shadow.
“Puffing!”
The divine shadow that the lightning converged into was hideous and furious, holding a thunder hammer, three zhang tall, with twin horns on top of its head, emitting a terrifying aura of power.
The Red Desire Star Envoy stood up abruptly and said incredulously, “Thunder General’s Wrath. You’ve actually succeeded in cultivating this kind of second level spell?”
Thunder General’s Wrath was one of the two Level 2 Spells that she had handed over to Zhang Ruochen only today.
The Red Desire Star Envoy’s face changed slightly as she took a step back, immediately mobilising her spiritual energy in a defensive stance as she said vigilantly, “Who exactly are you?”
The Red Desire Star Envoy was a Spiritual Force Master herself, so she naturally knew how difficult it was to cultivate a Level 2 spell, thus, she simply did not believe that Zhang Ruochen would be able to successfully cultivate the Thunder Rage within half a day.
Even with her current forty-three-step mental strength, it would take her at least half a month to successfully cultivate a grade two spell.
“Lord Star Envoy, why are you so nervous? Could it be that you suspect that I have cultivated a Level 2 spell before?”
Zhang Ruochen gained the trust of the Red Desire Star Envoy and slowly dispersed his spiritual power, and the divine shadow behind him that was condensed from thunder and lightning gradually dissipated and finally disappeared completely into nothingness.
The powerful aura of power also disappeared with it, turning into nothingness.
