Chapter 2337 A Chess Piece
“He was captured by the Fane of Destiny and died the moment he became a Celestial Captive, so you don’t have to thank me. Just tell me what you want. I’m in a hurry,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Fang Mofeng saw that Zhang Ruochen was a straightforward person, so he didn’t beat around the bush. “The meteorite armor is a treasure of the Fane of Meteorite. It’s of great use to me in the Celestial-Hunting battle. I want to buy it back.”
“Since you said you want to buy it, it seems that you know that any treasure that falls into my hands can’t be taken back easily.” Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, “What are you going to offer?”
“10,000 Godstones,” Fang Mofeng said.
Zhang Ruochen nodded slightly and said, “It is comparable to the price of a Class Five Regal Artifact. You are sincere. But can you afford that many Godstones?”
“I am still very young, less than 1,000 years old. In the future, I can attain the Thousand-Koan Realm, Banshi Isshou Realm, and even Paramount Realm. I can clear my debt sooner or later.” Fang Mofeng’s face was full of confidence.
Zhang Ruochen said, “If you die in the Celestial-Hunting battlefield, where should I get the Godstones?”
Fang Mofeng was stunned and didn’t know how to answer.
He could take responsibility for what he said, but he couldn’t take responsibility for his own life and death.
“I’ll repay on his behalf,” Mo Cuo said.
Yan Hanyu said, “I’ll do so too.”
Zhang Ruochen glanced at them with his piercing eyes and raised his voice, “The last person who owed me a debt and wanted to renege on it was my mother’s disciple,” he said. “Half of his Saint Blood was absorbed by the Saint Devourer, and he sold all his fiefdoms to pay his debts. He still owes me.
“If you’re trying to copy his methods, I’ll make you suffer ten times what he is going through.”
“Don’t worry, Supreme Saint Ruochen. I will clear my debt as long as I don’t die within a hundred years,” Fang Mofeng said.
“You’d better not die. You don’t want your juniors to suffer.”
Zhang Ruochen opened the lid of Violet Gourd. A ball of purple light flew out. It turned into a two-thousand-meter-long purple meteorite and floated in front of Fang Mofeng.
Fang Mofeng’s eyes lit up with joy. He immediately activated his secret technique and hit the purple meteorite everywhere.
Swoosh
The purple meteorite turned into armor on him.
“Thank you, Supreme Saint Ruochen.” Fang Mofeng touched the armor that he had recovered. He was overjoyed. He cupped his fists and saluted Zhang Ruochen once again.
Streaks of the brilliance of Truth appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes. He stared at him and said, “You have broken 99 shackles, right?”
“Yes,” Fang Mofeng said.
Zhang Ruochen said, “If you are willing to owe me a favor, I can help you break through to the Great Perfection of the Hundred-Shackle Realm during the Celestial-Hunting battle.”
Fang Mofeng was stunned. He thought he had heard it wrongly.
Zhang Ruochen suddenly changed his words. He waved his hand and said, “Forget it. You can go!”
Fang Mofeng didn’t leave.
Fang Mofeng wouldn’t believe that someone else dared to boast like that. But Zhang Ruochen was the one who said it. A person who had just gained Supreme Sainthood had grown to be able to suppress Saint Lord Zuo Mu.
He must have some big secrets. Perhaps he could do something even deities couldn’t.
Fang Mofeng asked, “Can the Supreme Saint Ruochen really help me make it into the Great Perfection Stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm?”
“I suddenly realized that it doesn’t mean much. Even if you broke the 100th shackle, it would take a long time to break all kinds of tiny shackles in your body to reach the Great Perfection Stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm.
“In that case, I don’t want to waste time,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Fang Mofeng said, “No, even if I only broke the 100th shackle, my strength will be greatly improved. I can become the strongest person among cultivators who have yet to break the 100th shackle.”
The Celestial-Hunting battle was of great importance to any force. There was a huge division of interests behind it.
As the number one master of the Fane of Meteorite, Fang Mofeng played an important role. The stronger he was, the more beneficial it would be for the Fane of Meteorite.
Fang Mofeng was afraid that Zhang Ruochen would go back on his words. Fang Mofeng immediately said, “Supreme Saint Ruochen saved my life. I owe you a huge favor even if you don’t do so.” Zhang Ruochen looked at him deeply and said, “The favor I want is the one that you must return even if you have to undergo sufferrings or give up your life in the future.”
Fang Mofeng was obviously a decisive person. He pointed at the sky. “I, Fang Mofeng, swear in the name of the Lord of the Fane of Meteorite that if the Supreme Saint Ruochen needs me in the future, I will do my best to help him and return the favor regardless of the price I will pay.”
Zhang Ruochen thought a little higher of Fang Mofeng. At the same time, he realized more clearly that Infernal Court was indeed a place where strength was respected. Other things were not important.
“Okay, I’ll help you find the 100th shackle.”. “You must have taken an Ampliofruit. With its power, it shouldn’t be difficult to break the 100th shackle in a month as long as your potential is not too bad,” Zhang Ruochen said.
The deities in the Fane of Destiny saw Zhang Ruochen defeat Wu Jiang and suppress Saint Lord Zuo Mu. His method was clean and neat. He already displayed the heroic bearing of a young lord.
Ghost Lord and the others all fell silent.
They were gods. They could predict the outcome. They all thought that Zhang Ruochen would get defeated by Wu Jiang and even lose his life. However, the result was out of their expectations.
With Wu Jiang defeated and Zuo Mu dead, Zhang Ruochen had officially become one of the most powerful figures on the Celestial-Hunting battlefield. No one could stop him.
At first, the gods all thought that Que was the biggest variable on the Celestial-Hunting battlefield. But no one had expected that Zhang Ruochen would suddenly appear with so many elites around him. He seemed to be dominating the battlefield.
“It seems that there really are cultivators who are not subject to the laws in this world. Even the gods can’t see through them.”
“Que, Yan Wushen, and Zhang Ruochen are not subject to the laws of the Celestial-Hunting battle. Did you know that they are the chosen ones who can break the rules since the beginning?” A God asked Fukurokuju.
Fukurokuju said, “The existence of the laws is constant, but each person is subject to different universe laws. Watching every Celestial-Hunting battle is like looking at the future of Infernal Court. Although Wu Jiang lost to Zhang Ruochen, he was still not out of the game. It depends on whether he can recover, reflect on himself, and recover his courage. There are infinite possibilities in each individual.”
In Luo Yan’s divine demiplane
Wargod Bloodximius’ mouth curled into a smile. He said, “You’ve lost!”
There was still a trace of doubt in Luo Yan’s eyes. After a long silence, he let out a long breath and said, “I’m sure that if Zhang Ruochen doesn’t die, his future achievements will not be lower than yours.”
“What a great future son-in-law; why are you still hesitating?” Wargod Bloodximius asked.
Luo Yan flung his sleeves and snorted. “If you are willing to bet, you must admit defeat. I don’t object to this marriage. However, I still have to ask for Sha’er’s opinion and her consent. Bloodximius, are you betting all on Zhang Ruochen?”.
Wargod Bloodximius smiled. He left the demiplane without a word.
As the ruler of a divine kingdom, Luo Yan was unhappy with Wargod Bloodximius’ attitude.
“Why are you so angry? Bloodximius has always been like this,” Amane comforted him.
Luo Yan’s tone became gentler as he asked, “I’m not angry at him. I’m just thinking about Sha’er… Sigh, Sha’er hates marriage alliance. Last time, because of the marriage proposal of the Mara family, she was so angry that she ran to the Battlefield of Merits alone. How dangerous!
“She holds a deep grudge against Zhang Ruochen. If she knew that I agreed to the marriage, I’m afraid that she would do something again.”
On Amane’s beautiful face, an elegant and alluring smile appeared. “You don’t understand the love between young men and women. That kid from the Mara family is not worthy of my Sha’er.
“However, Zhang Ruochen is one of the top talents in this Yuanhui period. If it were not because Sha’er highly regarded Zhang Ruochen, he would have died at her hands. He would not have survived until now
“Let’s not talk about the distant future. During the fight for the Saintwill pills, Zhang Ruochen would have died at the hands of Wu Jiang if it were not for my Sha’er’s interference.” Luo Yan snorted. “I only hope that kid can remember this. If he dares to bully my daughter again, I will not forgive him.”
With the profound Path of Truth, after helping Fang Mofeng find the 100th shackle, Zhang Ruochen, Moyin, and Lord Xia Yu immediately set off for the planet where they had set up the dimensional teleportation array.
On their way to the destination
Moyin said, “What’s the use of a Supreme Saint with 99 severed shackles? Why did master spend so much time on him?”
“Furthermore, you gave the meteorite armor back to him with only two empty promises. It isn’t a wise deal.”
“I agree with Zhang Ruochen. We can’t just make enemies. We also need allies,” Lord Xia Yu said.
Moyin said, “If you want allies, you can make friends with more powerful figures, such as Luo Shengtian. The Fane of Meteorite is ranked 18th among the 24 Asuran Fanes. It’s too inferior!”
Zhang Ruochen, who had been silent, said, “Even if I get the meteorite armor, it’s useless. Only the secret technique of the Fane of Meteorite can activate it and use it.
“As for Fang Mofeng and the Fane of Meteorite, it depends on who you compare them to.
“Compared to you, Fang Mofeng’s current cultivation is indeed not strong enough.
“However, in the eyes of cultivators who are not Supreme Saints, he is the young leader of a Fane, a rising star within the Saint realm.
“The Fane of Meteorite’s ranking is indeed not high. However, as one of the 24 Fanes, no matter how weak it is, it is comparable to the top 100 powerful Macroworlds in the western universe of Celestial Court. You should not underestimate Fang Mofeng’s potential.
“Moreover, the Fane of Meteorite is located at the edge of Infernal Court, very close to Tianchu Civilization. It is the only way to reach Kunlun and Celestial Court. Planting a chess piece there will be of great use in the future.”
Lord Xia Yu’s expression changed when she heard him. She looked at Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen happened to look at her too. “Don’t look at me like that. I can no longer go back to Celestial Court and Kunlun. Don’t forget that you still owe me a favor.”
