BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1163 - The Deity is Back
Chapter 1163: The Deity is Back
Baby Master Mountain was of great momentum. There were clouds and mist surrounding the mountain, and the fluctuating ridges and peaks piercing through the sky, and they all looked extremely precipitous.
There were ancient formations inscribed on the cliff, forming traces of lightning. Those who weren’t the core members of Blood God Sect couldn’t get to the top at all.
At this moment, at the peak of Baby Master Mountain, inside Guiyuan Divine Palace, more than half of the high-level members of Blood God Sect gathered here.
They were giving out gleaming holy light, and they were all famous people. Behind some of the monks were mysterious images and phantoms of saints.
If a low-level warrior came here, he might be grovelling and thought he had arrived at the saint sector.
The four discipline kings gathered here. Seven of the ten palace rules from ten heavenly palaces were also here. All the six saint elders from Elder Pavillion were also here.
Since the power from Blood God Sword Breaker was triggered, the secrets of the endless abyss were exposed. Almost all the high-level members from Blood God Sect knew now that there were three more levels in the endless abyss.
This led to chaos in the sect.
What was more disturbing to the monks from Blood God Sect was that their hierarch and the guarding saint weapon Blood God Sword Breaker disappeared at the same time, which put everyone in a state of anxiety.
In the past hundreds of years, Blood God Sect was already a dying power out of the seven ancient sects. It didn’t have enough new talents, nor did it have top-tier great beings to guard it.
This was a time of chaos, which meant other powers might take advantage and attack Blood God Sect.
Nobody knew where this would lead to in the future.
One of the saint elders from Elder Pavillion, Yuan Xin Elder, stood at the center and said, “Recently, several battles erupted in our sect, which led to a large number of deaths and injuries. There were pre-saints who got killed. Our hierarch has only been missing for several days, yet our sect is being disintegrated?”
The voice of Yuan Xin Elder echoed in Gui Yuan Divine Palace.
All the monks held their breath.
Yuan Xin Elder had an extremely high social status, and his cultivation was an enigma.
But now, he was holding the meeting of elders personally, which meant Blood God Sect was indeed facing unprecedented danger.
One of the four discipline kings, Di Yuan Discipline King, stood up and said, “The situation is very unstable in the state of Tiantai. There might be turmoil at any time. Our hierarch and the guarding saint weapon have both gone missing, which means our sect might be a target for all the other powers.”
“I think we can’t be leaderless. I think we need to select our new hierarch, otherwise, we might be doomed.”
The palace ruler of Heavenly Palace said, “Our hierarch has only gone missing for a short while. He might return at any time. There’s no need to select a hierarch. Instead, we need to check what kind of powerful enemies our hierarch ran into that he was forced to trigger the power of Blood God Sword Breaker. Is it related to the endless abyss?”
...
The high-level members from Blood God Sect kept arguing with each other. Some of them were progressives as they suggested they select a new hierarch immediately.
Some were more conservative, saying that their hierarch had only gone missing for a few days, and that there was no need to select a hierarch. They proposed that they needed to strengthen the defense power of Blood God Sect to resist any possible enemies.
Discipline King Haiming was sitting in the chair with his eyes closed. He hadn’t said anything, as if he had fallen asleep.
A signal flare glinted in his hands.
Discipline King Haiming finally opened his eyes. He read the message in the signal flare and couldn’t help smiling playfully. “This boy is back alive.”
Other than Discipline King Ming, several others in Guiyuan Divine Palace had also received the signal flare.
Ao!
Three-head Dragon King roared, carrying Zhang Ruochen and arriving at the foot of Baby Master Mountain. The sound waves permeated, trembling the holy Qi in the sky and land.
“What happened?”
The half saints and saints in Gui Yuan Divine Palace also let out a trace of their mind power to inspect where the roaring sound came from.
As for those monks who had received the news in advance, they all looked calm and had figured out how to deal with the upcoming changes.
It wasn’t a small issue for the deity of Blood God Sect to come back in such a crucial moment. Nobody knew what this meant to the entire sect.
“Gu Linfeng?”
“The deity survived Blue Dragon Void World?”
All the monks present looked at each other, as they found it startling.
Gu Linfeng was only a young boy in Blood God sect. To saints, he was no different from a child.
However, he had a very special identity: the deity of Blood God Sect.
Which meant he was the heir of the hierarch.
After the hierarch had gone missing, he was the most qualified one to inherit the throne, instead of the elders, discipline kings and palace rulers.
The atmosphere in Guiyuan Divine Palace suddenly turned weird.
Zhang Ruochen jumped off the back of Three-head Dragon King, wearing a gorgeous blood-red robe. And then, he put one of his hands behind his back and walked toward Guiyuan Divine Palace.
Zhang Ruochen looked around and saw the expressions of all the monks.
The Saintess Shangguan Xianyan from Blood God Sect sat close to the center. Her glowing body was surrounded by nine levels of divine light. She looked holy and exquisite as if she were a divine girl.
Her eyes glinted with strangeness.
Hai Lingyin, Ji Shui and some of the other half saints who went to Blue Dragon Void World were all kind of surprised.
Blue Dragon Void World had been destroyed one month ago, but nobody heard anything about Gu Linfeng. Everyone thought that he had been killed.
Nobody expected that he could make it back after all this time.
Zhang Ruochen walked to a spot beside Shangguan Xianyan, took a look at her, smiled and sat down.
However, before Zhang Ruochen could sit tight, someone started to question him.
“You finally know how to come home, deity?” Discipline King Diyuan asked Zhang Ruochen as he was very unsatisfied with him.
Zhang Ruochen looked very calm and smiled. “I did what I should’ve done. Do you have anything to ask me, Discipline King?”
“It’s good for you to come back.”
Discipline King Diyuan sneered, “Discipline King Criminal Law, take him and put him into the dungeon first.”
Discipline King Criminal Law Saint Hong Yuan was the oldest disciple of Discipline King Diyuan, so he followed his lead strictly.
As he stood up, Holy Qi gushed out of his body. Those traces of holy Qi intertwined with each other and looked like hundreds of crimson chains, making clattering sounds.
Zhang Ruochen remained calm and was still sitting in his seat. He picked up his cup of saintly spring water and had a sip. He smiled and said, “Discipline King Diyuan, you’re impressive. How dare you try to seize the deity of a sect? Are you more powerful than our hierarch?”
Saint Hongyuan waved his sleeves and glared at Zhang Ruochen. “Gu Linfeng, you killed Wei Longxing in Blue Dragon Void World, and he came from the same sect as us. You need to be executed as you’ve broken the law. Discipline King is only going to lock you in the dungeon, which is more than merciful already.”
“Wei Longxing.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “If I remember it correctly, Wei Longxing was your disciple, Disciplline King Fayuan.”
Wei Longxing had great potential. Discipline King Diyuan had great hope for him.
Wei Longxing didn’t disappoint Discipline King Diyuan. He became a pre-saint before turning one hundred years old. He had a great chance to become the deity, yet he was trumped by Zhang Ruochen, after which Discipline King Diyuan started to hold grudges against Gu Linfeng.
In Blue Dragon Void World, Gu Linfeng had killed Wei Longxing.
How could Discipline King Diyuan not be angry at Zhang Ruochen?
Discipline King Diyuan sneered and stopped talking with Zhang Ruochen. He said, “Seize him.”
“Wait.”
Zhang Ruochen stood up and said, “I did kill Wei Longxing, but he tried to kill me first. Is that a good enough reason? Self-defense?”
Saint Hongyuan said, “Kill you? Can you prove that Wei Longxing tried to kill you? Can you provide some evidence?”
The saintly power coming from Saint Hongyuan was like a tumbling red ocean. As for Zhang Ruochen, he was like a boat on the waves, one which might be torn apart at any time.
Before Zhang Ruochen went back to Blood God Sect, he had expected that someone would hold the death of Wei Longxing against him, so he was very calm.
Zhang Ruochen looked to Shangguan Xianyan and said, “Saintess, you should know better than others about what really happened in Blue Dragon Void World.”
Shangguan Xianyan, Wei Longxing, Hai Lingyin, and the others teamed up with Shangguan clan and Cai clan to marginalize, and even kill him.
After some time, Shangguan Xianyan realized that Zhang Ruochen was a power to be reckoned with, so she decided to mend the relationship between them.
However, Zhang Ruochen still thought of Shangguan Xianyan as an enemy.
If she could tell the truth, Zhang Ruochen would let her get away with her crimes from before.
If she wanted to seize this chance to suppress Zhang Ruochen, he wouldn’t show any mercy to her in the future.
Shangguan Xianyan didn’t expect Gu Linfeng to question her on such a touchy subject.
If she said that Wei Longxing tried to kill Gu Linfeng, she would make herself an enemy of Discipline King Diyuan.
If not, then the feud between her and Gu Linfeng would become worse.
Shangguan Xianyan had seen how powerful Gu Linfeng was in Blue Dragon Void World. He managed to kill several beast kings and Wei Longxing himself.
If Gu Linfeng survived this, he would definitely kill her just as he had killed Wei Longxing.
Saint Hongyuan looked to Shangguan Xianyan and said, “Saintess, do you know that Wei Longxing tried to kill the deity?”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes gleamed. He patted the shoulder of Shangguan Xianyan and said, “Saintess, you have to be honest. Don’t treat an innocent man unjustly.”
Shangguan Xianyan pursed her lips. She was already a level-eight half saint, and her cultivation surged, but she felt great pressure sitting beside Gu Linfeng. Her body couldn’t help but shiver.
