BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1401 - Sixth Day
Chapter 1401: Sixth Day
The Saint Lady received a signal flare. She clenched it in her hand and read the message on it.
Whoosh!
The holy light spread from Huang Yanchen’s body. She asked, “Who sent you the signal flare?”
The Saint Lady didn’t try to hide it. “Zhang Ruochen.”
Martial Saint Canglan who was standing in front of the Saint Lady said, “Countless heavenly kings in the imperial government want to kill him, yet he still dares contact you? You guys have a deep bond.”
The Saint Lady didn’t argue back. Instead, she said, “He asked me for a favor.”
“He would ask others for a favor?”
Huang Yanchen and Martial Saint Canglan almost said it at the same time, but they didn’t ask the Saint Lady what Zhang Ruochen was asking for.
The atmosphere in Saint Palace Yuanchu became slightly awkward.
Huang Yanchen and Martial Saint Canglan had all kinds of assumptions in their minds, but they vetoed them all.
The Saint Lady said, “He said he doesn’t want to hurt the ordinary people. Kunlun’s Field is the world of trillions of people, not the world for First Central Empire.”
Martian Saint Canglan smiled. “You guys share almost the same ideology. No wonder he asked you instead of me.”
Huang Yanchen said, “The saints in Kunlun’s Field should’ve arrived at Peakless Mountain already. Let’s head there as well.”
...
On the sixth day.
The headquarters of Demonic Sect, Saint Wood Mountain.
Mu Lingxi was detained in a palace made of iron on Saint Wood Mountain. She wasn’t allowed to be in contact with the outside world, nor was anyone allowed in.
Huang Yanchen came to the iron palace, accompanied by the saint leader of Mu’s family and Yun Zheng.
“Tomorrow is the seventh day, and Qiu Yu of the Fire Tribe will come marry Lingxi. We don’t allow anyone else to visit her, but you’re the senior sister of Lingxi. You’re an exception,” Yun Zheng said.
Huang Yanchen nodded, looking at the bizarre building that was perfectly sealed.
Squeak!
Huang Yanchen opened the door, leaving a long shadow on the ground.
Huang Yanchen saw Mu Lingxi after she walked in. She was sitting on the floor, and her eyes were glazing over. Her hair was messy, and she was covered with mud. She looked completely different from the childish but lovely junior sister Duanmu.
“What happened? How could your dad and Mu family treat you like this?”
Huang Yanchen couldn’t be more heartbroken. She immediately walked toward her.
“Stay away from me.”
Mu Lingxi immediately distanced herself from Huang Yanchen.
Huang Yanchen teared up and said, “Lingxi, it’s me, your sister Chen.”
“I know you’re Huang Yanchen, but why...why did you do that to him? People change. What do you want to do to me?” Mu Lingxi asked cautiously.
Huang Yanchen kept shaking her head, speechless.
Mu Lingxi said, “Do you know what I regret the most? I shouldn’t have changed the brands of ‘Huang Number One’ and ‘Di Number One’ when Zhang Ruochen entered Dragon Wu Palace, otherwise the bond between you guys wouldn’t be that strong. Then you wouldn’t have had the chance to hurt him that deeply.”
Mu Lingxi continued, saying, “You know that he’ll never hurt you. No wonder how much I love him and want to get with him, he can always control himself.”
Huang Yanchen closed her eyes, took a deep breath and said, “I’m destined to follow a different path from him, so only God knows what’ll happen in the future, but I know that he values you a lot, otherwise he wouldn’t have told everyone his identity as the crown prince of Sacred Central Empire. He’s coming to Peakless Mountain only to save you.”
“Crown prince of Sacred Central Empire? What do you mean?”
Mu Lingxi looked confused.
Huang Yanchen then said, “Don’t you know he’s the crown prince of Sacred Central Empire?”
Mu Lingxi was a bit dazed and shook her head.
Huang Yanchen sighed. Obviously, Mu Lingxi had no idea what was going on outside her prison.
And then, Huang Yanchen told her about how Zhang Ruochen issued the crown prince edict and conquered Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion, and then, she said, “Zhang Ruochen is definitely coming to Peakless Mountain tomorrow, but he’s going to be in grave danger. Unlike Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion, Peakless Mountain is guarded by a supreme saint, and I heard that there’s a supreme saint in the Fire Tribe as well. Besides, there’ll be lots of great beings from the imperial government coming to Peakless Mountain. Once Zhang Ruochen shows himself, he’ll be encircled.”
Mu Lingxi smiled and said, “Are you asking me to talk him out of it?”
Huang Yanchen said, “Even with the help of previous officials from the Sacred, he won’t be able to fight Moon Worship Demonic Sect, the Fire Tribe and the imperial government, and besides, many powers also stand with Qiu Yu. Only one person can persuade him not to do it and thus save his life.”
Mu LIngxi said, “So you want me to talk him out of coming to Peakless Mountain?”
“That’s right.”
Huang Yanchen stayed silent for a while, then she nodded.
“Do you really think he’s an idiot? Do you really think I can stop him from coming to Peakless Mountain? Nobody can change his mind once he’s determined.”
Mu Lingxi said, “Actually, I find it an amazing thing to die together with Zhang Ruochen on Peakless Mountain. I don’t want to submit to fate, and besides, I believe he’s someone who can create a miracle. There’s nothing he can’t accomplish. If he dies on Peakless Mountain tomorrow, I’ll die with him. If he saves me, then I’ll follow him forever.”
“Stupid. Nobody can fight fate. Everyone’s been doing what he or she doesn’t want to do since being born...”
Huang Yanchen’s voice got lower and lower. Eventually, she shook her head, stopped talking and walked out of the iron palace.
Huang Yanchen ran into the Saint Lady under Saint Wood Mountain.
“How did it go? Did she say yes?” the Saint Lady asked.
Huang Yanchen shook her head.
The Saint Lady then said, “Did you tell her that you can take her away using the oracle of the Empress even if Zhang Ruochen doesn’t come to Peakless Mountain tomorrow?”
“No... It doesn’t matter... Perhaps it’s great for Zhang Ruochen to have a girl who loves him wholeheartedly, otherwise he’ll feel abject loneliness.”
Huang Yanchen’s lips were shivering and her eyes were glazing over as she said that.
“Are you okay?” the Saint Lady asked.
Huang Yanchen shook her head and said, “Tell everyone from the imperial government that nobody is allowed to attack Zhang Ruochen tomorrow, otherwise, they’re going against the oracle.’
“You’re going to offend the entire imperial government doing that. Aren’t you afraid the empress will punish you after she comes back?” the Saint Lady said.
“That’s all I can do for them.”
Huang Yanchen walked forward, dazed.
The Saint Lady stared at Huang Yanchen walking away, then she said, “They know it’s dangerous, yet they still chose to do it...”
...
Yunwu Commandery.
“Mother, fourth brother and ninth sister, if you want to stay in Yunwu Commandery, I won’t force you to leave. I hope we can meet each other again in the future,” Zhang Ruochen said, looking at his dearest family.
“Ninth brother, will you be in danger going to Peakless Mountain? Will you not be able to make it back this time?” Zhang Yuxi asked, concerned.
Zhang Shaochu said, “I’m not a coward. Even if I can’t help with anything, I’ll still go to Peakless Mountain with you.”
With the promise of Moon Goddess, Zhang Ruochen wasn’t afraid that he’d run into danger on Peakless Mountain.
Besides, he had promised Moon Goddess that he’d follow her to Heaven Field to help her with an issue.
Zhang Ruochen had no idea how far Heaven Field was from Kunlun’s Field, and he didn’t know what kind of dangers he would run into helping a God.
Which was why Zhang Ruochen wasn’t sure whether he could make it back to Kunlun’s Field.
Zhang Ruochen heard the voice of Moon Goddess. “Bring the two elders who make wine and pills.”
This was the first time Moon Goddess had initiated a conversation with Zhang Ruochen, which astounded Zhang Ruochen. Why does a God value Gu Songzi and the Crazy Alcoholic that much?
Zhang Ruochen was confused.
He then heard Moon Goddess’s voice again. “Do you want to know what kind of a place Heaven World is?”
“Of course,” Zhang Ruochen said.
“Heaven World is called Saint World, and it was built to fight against Hell World. You need to at least be a half saint to refine there. However, when a half saint enters Heaven World, he can only wield a power that’s slightly stronger than an ordinary person. Six Saints to Heaven Wine and Saint Pills can play a great role there,” Moon Goddess said.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “A half saint is already strong enough to refine in Heaven World? There’re countless half saints in Kunlun’s Field; why can’t they go refine in Heaven World?”
Moon Goddess said, “The universe is enormous, and there’re thousands of worlds that’re just as powerful as Kunlun’s Field. Even Gods have no idea where the edge of the universe is. A world is only qualified to negotiate with the Gods in Heaven World after a God’s born, after which it’ll become a subsidiary world of Heaven World and build the saint path from Heaven World to subsidiary worlds. Then the half saints, saints, saint kings and supreme saints will be qualified to refine in Heaven World.
“After becoming a subsidiary of Heaven World, that world will be penetrated by Hell World, but Heaven World will defend it. Also, it’s not a good idea just to depend on Heaven World all the time. Instead, you need to be strong. Otherwise you’ll be annihilated anyway.”
Zhang Ruochen was shocked. “A hundred thousand years ago, there were several Gods in Kunlun’s Field. Wasn’t Kunlun’s Field a subsidiary world of Heaven World?”
“Kunlun’s Field used to be powerful, indeed, and it was ranked high on ‘Ten Thousand Worlds Merit Rank.’ Unfortunately... No matter. There’s something you’d better not know. After the Gods of Kunlun’s Field died, it was abandoned by Heaven World.
“I don’t know whether your empress can survive negotiating with Gods in Heaven World or not. If she can, the saint road from Kunlun’s Field to Heaven World will be built again, then Kunlun’s Field that’s already doomed might still stand a chance.”
