Chapter 2475: Entering The Mayor’s Mansion
Blackie hesitated for a moment and said, “It was a crucial mistake. Even you, the top genius of Xue Jue Family, don’t know about it. It’s obviously a top-secret. As it’s a top-secret, very few people know about it.”
“Tell me.”
Zhang Ruochen’s curiosity was piqued.
Blackie shook his head and said, “I don’t know either.”
Zhang Ruochen could tell that Blackie knew. Blackie just didn’t want to say it, so he didn’t ask any more questions.
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen didn’t press him, Blackie felt a little uncomfortable, it took the initiative and said, “Actually, I really don’t know what happened. I’ve only heard some rumors, but unfortunately, they’re all groundless. No one can verify whether they’re true or not. It’s better to keep quiet about the things you’re not sure about. Otherwise, you’ll be misled.”
“Let’s not talk about this for now. Guye Jing is in a bad situation. I mean, help her first,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Blackie walked to the bed and looked at the beautiful woman in red, “I’ve expected that you would still save her in the end. As for men, as long as a woman is beautiful enough, they’ll jump in even if they know it’s a trap,”
“Cut the crap. Hurry up and save her,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Blackie shook its head and said, “I won’t fall for her trick. Her tail is so powerful, so she must be faking an injury. If you want to save her, save her yourself. You’re foolish, but I’m sober.”
As it spoke, Blackie stepped back and pulled a distance away to prevent its tail from hitting it again.
Zhang Ruochen sighed in his heart. He didn’t expect that a casual lie would make Blackie worry so much.
What should he do?
......
What else could he do? He had to do it himself.
“Help me suppress the array. I’ll do it.”
Zhang Ruochen stretched out two fingers and pressed on Guye Jing’s glabella.
Suddenly, a mysterious and complicated Shenwu Mark appeared between her glabella.
Zhang Ruochen shouted and holy light burst out from his body.
A Soul Shadow left his body and rushed into Guye Jing’s Shenwu Mark through his fingers, entering her Sea of Qi.
Zhang Ruochen’s Saint Soul had been divided into six parts.
Even if one of them was trapped in Guye Jing’s Sea of Qi, it would at most be injured. Guye Jing could not control him, let alone devour his Saint Soul and steal his memory.
“Since ancient times, all heroes are lustful! Ah, I miss Xue Lingxian who cuts down all relationships, and was only determined to fight against heaven!”
Blackie exclamation, took out one after another array flag and arranged the killing array.
If the demoness in red were to suck Zhang Ruochen dry, it could still save him in time.
...
...
The Sea of Qi is filled with the crimson aura of the dead spirits.
Only by cultivating the top cultivation technique of The Rāhu Mountains, Nekromanteia Portrait, could such a special Demonic Qi be cultivated. This cultivation technique was no weaker than the Divine Techniques Tomes on Taiyi Divine Techniques Rank.
It was because of this that Zhang Ruochen began to doubt the legend of the Three great Demonic Sources.
Was the lineage of Demon Patriarch really weak in terms of cultivation techniques and Saint Techniques?
...
As soon as he entered Guye Jing’s Sea of Qi, Zhang Ruochen was filled with regret and wanted to retreat.
Her Saint Soul was weak, but the Demonic Qi of the dead spirit was terrifying.
Zhang Ruochen estimated that he could only stay in Guye Jing’s Sea of Qi only for ten breaths. After ten breaths, the Saint Soul would be corroded by the Demonic Qi of the dead spirit and be injured.
Moreover, every Supreme Saint would heavily protect their Sea of Qi.
It was easy to break it, but it was as difficult to break in.
Why was Guye Jing’s Sea of Qi so easy to enter?
The more Zhang Ruochen thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Just as he was about to leave her Sea of Qi, Guye Jing’s voice suddenly rang in his ear. “Zhang Ruochen, my Saint Soul has been severely injured by Wuma Jiuxing’s saber soul. It’s difficult to reunite it. Help me reunite my Saint Soul.”
“You didn’t lose consciousness?”
Zhang Ruochen became even more vigilant. He looked around for Guye Jing.
“Of course, I didn’t lose consciousness. Otherwise, how could you enter my Sea of Qi so easily? I let you in.” Guye Jing sounded anxious, “Hurry up and help me. I can feel that Wuma Jiuxing’s Precept of Saber is about to reach my Sea of Qi. Once my Sea of Qi is ruined, all my cultivation will be wasted.”
Zhang Ruochen was silent for a moment.
“What’s wrong? What are you worried about? Do you think I will harm you? We just went through a life-and-death test. Don’t you have any trust in me?” Guye Jing’s voice was even more anxious.
Obviously, the situation was critical.
Zhang Ruochen sighed. “How can I help you?”
“My Saint Soul is very fragile now. It can’t be reassembled. If you let me absorb part of your soul power, my Saint Soul can be formed. Once my Saint Soul is formed, I can naturally mobilize the Demonic Qi of the dead spirits to suppress Wuma Jiuxing’s Precept of Saber” Guye Jing said.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “You want to absorb my Saint Soul?”
“Don’t worry. I’m only absorbing part of it. When I’m fully recovered, I’ll give you a Quasi-Emperor Grade Saint Soul Pill to help you recover your soul power. I owe you a favor this time. I’ll help you resolve your inner demons,” Guye Jing said.
Zhang Ruochen had just refined the Stellar Soul of God. The Saint Soul was at its most powerful. Letting Guye Jing absorb some wasn’t a big deal.
However, the Saint Soul wasn’t a small matter for a cultivator. It had to do with joy, anger, sorrow, luck, talent, knowledge, memory, fate, and so on.
Who wouldn’t want the Saint Soul of a Yuanhui level genius?
Zhang Ruochen would be involved very much once Guye Jing absorbed part of his Saint Soul. Even after becoming a god, he would be affected.
Could it be that Guye Jing was not scheming for Demonstone Engraving, but his Saint Soul?
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Can I trust you?”
“Why are you so suspicious? Luo Sha and I are like sisters. If I hurt you, she will never forgive me. Besides, this is my Sea of Qi. If I want to swallow your Saint Soul by force, I don’t need to discuss with you,” Guye Jing said.
It was the time of ten breaths!
Zhang Ruochen’s Saint Soul withdrew from Guye Jing’s Sea of Qi.
He was not stopped.
“How is she? What state is she in now?” Blackie asked, holding a white array flag.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t respond. His eyes were unprecedentedly cautious. He used the Heart of Truth to sense carefully, wanting to feel the portent.
He didn’t feel any danger.
“If only I still had Canon of Destiny with me. Path of Destiny’s premonition of portent would be more accurate.”
Zhang Ruochen was conflicted. In the current crisis situation, he should have saved her. However, he didn’t want to get too involved with this demoness.
Unfortunately, even if he gave her Saint Soul Pill, she wouldn’t be able to refine it. There wasn’t enough time.
There seemed to be no other way.
Whoosh
Zhang Ruochen’s Saint Soul entered Guye Jing’s Sea of Qi again. “I can agree to it! But I have one condition.”
“What condition?” Guye Jing asked.
Zhang Ruochen said, “I don’t want your Quasi-Emperor Grade Saint Soul Pill. You’ve absorbed a few percent of my soul power today. When you recover, I’ll also absorb a few percent of your soul power.”
This was an unfair deal!
After all, Guye Jing’s Saint Soul was far more powerful than Zhang Ruochen’s.
“Okay, I promise you.” Guye Jing agreed without hesitation.
She had no time to hesitate.
“Please remember your promise. If you break it in the future, I can promise you that even if you are the successor of The Rāhu Mountains, I will make you pay a painful price.” Zhang Ruochen said.
“We cultivators who want to become gods take our promises very seriously. You should rest assured. After today, we will be the closest allies. There will be no more suspicions.” Guye Jing’s voice came from the Demonic Qi of the dead spirits.
After making up his mind, Zhang Ruochen became decisive. He stretched out his arm and opened his palm.
The crimson Demonic Qi gathered like silk. It wrapped around his arm and sucked away his soul power.
Ten breaths later.
Zhang Ruochen’s Saint Soul withdrew from his Sea of Qi and returned to his body.
Blackie asked, “What happened? Why did you come out again? I feel that your Saint Soul has become weaker.”
Without answering it, Zhang Ruochen entered Guye Jing’s Sea of Qi again.
...
After ten breaths, Zhang Ruochen’s Saint Soul came out again.
Blackie was too lazy to ask anymore. He knew that Zhang Ruochen must have been blinded by the beauty. He was tricked by the demoness. He sneered and said, “Can’t you just solve it once? Is it fun to go in and out of her body?”
Zhang Ruochen’s Saint Soul entered the Sea of Qi between Guye Jing’s eyebrows again.
...
After going in and out countless times, Guye Jing — who had been lying on the bed — suddenly opened her eyes. They shone brightly and the room was instantly filled with Demonic Qi.
Blackie, who had been dozing off, suddenly woke up and shouted, “Bold demoness, watch as I suppress you.”
The array flag in its claws showed dense inscriptions.
Zhang Ruochen took three steps back and grabbed the array flag. He shook his head slightly and said, “She has woken up. Leave the healing to her.”
Blackie looked at Zhang Ruochen’s pale face and asked in a low voice, “She didn’t drain all of you, did she?”
“She only absorbed part of my Saint Soul, and it’s only one of my six Saint Souls. It’s not a big deal. Of course, she didn’t know I had six Saint Souls and thought she had absorbed 30% of my soul power.”
Zhang Ruochen’s pale face was completely faked.
Blackie was deep in thought, “If that’s the case, then it’s fine. She didn’t want to devour your Saint Soul or kill you. Hehe, it seems that you’ve made some secret deal with her. Are you planning to take the successor of The Rāhu Mountains as a concubine?”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Let me help her!”
Zhang Ruochen called out Sundial, placed it in the center of the room, and opened it.
“Go out and keep an eye on her. Once a Saint-level cultivator finds out about this saint mansion, we have to leave immediately.”
Zhang Ruochen ordered Blackie, sat down cross-legged, and continued to cultivate.
The most important thing now was to break through to the Great Perfection of Hundred-Shackle Realm.
...
Two days later.
The House of Enchanteurs on Hoth was smaller than the one in Divine Domain of Destiny. However, it was more open and exciting, and the rules were much weaker.
Not only could they see the cultivators of the dark forces swaggering in and out of the house, but they could also see the cultivators of the small clans and the servants from the myriad realms in Celestial Court.
Information was well-circulated here, and the works of art, songs, and clothes of various civilizations gathered together. It gave people the feeling of traveling through thousands realms in one night.
Next to the House of Enchanteurs, there was a castle.
This castle was magnificent. It was made of huge rocks. It had a square, a martial arts practice field, a colosseum, and so on. Its scale was comparable to the House of Enchanteurs.
The difference was that this place was cold, but the House of Enchanteurs was graceful and moving.
This castle could be said to be the mayor’s mansion of Enchanton. It was also the property of the Enchanteur Chamber. There were 8,000 soldiers stationed inside. They were responsible for guarding Enchanton and protecting the House of Enchanteurs.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen was sitting in the hall of the castle where the VIP guests were received.
Sitting on the seat of Honor was a Supreme Saint of the Enchanteur Chamber. His name was Gu Yanzhi. He was a Supreme Saint from a small clan. As he married a woman from the Enchanteur Chamber, he then became one of the guardians of the House of Enchanteurs.
In the mayor’s mansion, Gu Yanzhi held a high position and was in charge of recruiting talents for the Enchanteur Chamber.
Zhang Ruochen’s current identity was Master Xun Mu, a master of spiritual-power in Dominion of Bloodysky clan. His spiritual power had reached the 58th level. He looked old and exuded an evil aura.
The person who had invited him to join the Enchanteur Chamber was Ji Wenwu of Ji Feng City.
On the blood spirit ship that had come to Hoth, Zhang Ruochen had already known Ji Wenwu as Master Xun Mu and had given him a jade stone.
What Ji Wenwu didn’t know was that Zhang Ruochen’s Spirit was inside the jade stone.
It was with this Spirit that Zhang Ruochen easily found Ji Wenwu and set up a chance encounter.
In the battle a few days ago, spiritual-power Saint Masters of the Enchanteur Chamber had suffered countless casualties in order to control the array in the city. It was a time when there was a shortage of talents.
Ji Wenwu met Master Xunmu, a master of spiritual power. Naturally, he tried his best to introduce him to the mayor’s mansion.
Zhang Ruochen’s goal was to enter the mayor’s mansion. After rejecting them several times, he was half-pushed and half-dragged here by Ji Wenwu.
The most dangerous place was often the safest place.
What other place was safer than the mayor’s mansion of Enchanton?
If he wanted to hide, he would hide under Bai Qing’er’s nose.
Gu Yanzhi had already tested Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power. At this moment, he was flipping through the information on “Master Xunmu”. After reading all the information, he finally raised his head and said, “You don’t want to join Enchanton?”
“I’m used to being alone. I don’t like to be restricted.”
Zhang Ruochen said arrogantly. Even if the other party was a Supreme Saint, he won’t buy it. He was still weird and arrogant.
Gu Yanzhi said, “You’re 1,400 years old this year, right? If you continued to be a loner, you might not be able to reach the 60th level of spiritual power and become a spiritual-power Supreme Saint. If you don’t become a Supreme Saint, how many years do you have left?”
Zhang Ruochen had a serious look on his face. He lowered his head and thought hard.
Gu Yanzhi smiled, “The mayor’s mansion of Enchanton is backed by the Enchanteur Chamber. With the Enchanteur Chamber as your backer, we can provide you with all kinds of sacred medicine and sacred pills to improve your spiritual power. As long as you work hard enough, you may have a chance to break through to become a spiritual-power Supreme Saint.”
“Is it for free?”
Zhang Ruochen’s old eyes were filled with joy.
Gu Yanzhi had learned from Ji Wenwu that Master Xun Mu was very petty and stingy. As long as there are benefits, Master Xun Mu would obey obediently.
Gu Yanzhi shook his head, he said, “Of course, it’s not free, but it’s no different from free. After you join the mayor’s mansion, you have to help maintain the array inscription in Enchanton every once in a while. Sometimes, you have to enter the House of Enchanteurs to serve as a guard or perform tasks assigned by the higher-ups.”
Zhang Ruochen showed a hesitant look.
Gu Yanzhi said, “In Infernal Court, there are not many cultivators who dare to offend the Enchanteur Chamber, and the Enchanteur Chamber doesn’t like to provoke trouble. So, it’s actually very safe to work for them.”
“Okay, I agree,” Zhang Ruochen said.
