Chapter 1196 - Senior And Junior Brother Meeting (2/2)

“Sect Leader Yao, you’ve misunderstood me!” Zhang Ruochen’s voice was cold. “I’m not interested in your body. I do need you to help me do something though. If you can complete it obediently, our past conflicts will be resolved.”

Yao Ji had no change in expression nor did she feel awkward. “What is it?” she asked.

Zhang Ruochen quickly told her about the strong figures of the Huangtian Tribe hiding in the Black Market’s headquarters.

Hearing this, Yao Ji’s expression grew serious. “Actually, the Shopkeeper told us a while ago that a large portion of the Huangtian Tribe is hurrying toward Tiantai State. He wants us to pay attention and report to him as soon as there is information.”

Zhang Ruochen knew that the so-called Shopkeeper was the leader of the Black Market in Tiantai. He was the top figure here. All the leaders of the Evil Way sects in Tiantai State had to listen to him.

You could say that he was the number one figure of the Evil Way in Tiantai State.

“What is the Black Market’s att.i.tude toward the Immortal Vampires?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Yao Ji pointed up and said, “I heard that the uppermost level of the Black Market, the evil emperor in Huanyu Sky, ordered that all Immortal Vampires must be killed.”

Huanyu Sky was a sacred place of the Black Market. Other than Saints of the Evil Way, no one knew where it was.

Clearly, the evil emperor of Huanyu Sky wasn’t the same one as 800 years ago.

Zhang Ruochen nodded. “Go! Go send the message to the Shopkeeper. I’d like to see what he will do next.”

After Yao Ji left, Zhang Ruochen didn’t stay in Tianluo Sect either. He left as well.

Basically, Zhang Ruochen was still worried about Yao Ji. What if she leaked information about him and led a group of Saints to defeat him?

Zhang Ruochen had to be careful.

Walking out of Tianluo Sect, he received a communication rune. Reading the content, he smiled. “Second Senior Brother is indeed fast. He’s already at Tiantai State.”

He ordered a room in an inn near Tianluo Sect. Then he sent a message to Second Senior Brother, telling him the location.

Zhu Hongtao, second disciple of Sword Saint Xuanji, was 14 feet tall. He had a chubby face and an extremely wide girth. Wearing red pants and a green s.h.i.+rt, he waddled into the inn with his round belly hanging.

Wan Ke, third disciple of Sword Saint Xuanji, walked beside Zhu Hongtao. He seemed to be around 30 years old. He had a hairless face and sophisticated bearing. He smiled modestly at all times.

Thankfully, Wan Ke was beside Zhu Hongtao. Otherwise, the latter’s fierce features would scare away even Evil Way cultivators.

The three brothers finally met. Zhu Hongtao and Wan Ke were extremely excited to see Zhang Ruochen.

“Sixth Junior Brother, you’re still alive. How come you didn’t come to find me all these years? When I received your message and saw that you’re in trouble, Third Junior Brother and I hurried over to Tiantai State without stopping.”

Zhu Hongtao looked angry, but he cared deeply about friends.

Wan Ke was still composed. Smiling, he said, “Sixth Junior Brother, I’ve heard about everything you’ve done. Other than Master, you’re the one I appreciate the most now.”

“Yes,” Zhu Hongtao said. “I heard that you went to the netherworld to find the Pill of Reincarnation to bring Master back to life. We should’ve all gone together. How could you risk it by yourself?” he complained.

Wan Ke continued, “In the Blue Dragon Void World, you terrified the savage beasts and Immortal Vampires. According to the students of the Eastern Saint Academy, the beasts and Vampires all have to hide when you pa.s.s. No one dares to compete with you. If I hadn’t reached the Saint Realm, I probably would’ve fought alongside you in the Void World.”

“I heard that many humans owe you from the Blue Dragon Void World. They are so impressed and see you as the top figure of the next generation. Many younger cultivators wors.h.i.+p you and want to learn from you.”

…

Zhu Hongtao and Wan Ke were both excited. They were proud to be Zhang Ruochen’s senior brothers. Every time other cultivators mentioned Zhang Ruochen’s name or said that he’d done another amazing thing, Zhu Hongtao and Wan Ke would immediately say, “He’s our junior brother.”

Zhang Ruochen knew that they were expressive. He was a bit embarra.s.sed by their praises. Chuckling, he said, “We’ve finally reunited. Let’s sit down to talk!”

After that, the trio talked about many things. They discussed how Feng Han had poisoned Sword Saint Xuanji, causing him to die.

“So hateful! I always thought that Master was stronger than Sword Saint Jiuyou. How could he lose and die? I can’t believe it’s because of that traitor.”

“Now, the swordsmen in the east all think that Sword Saint Jiuyou is the top Sword Saint. They’re all going to Jiuyou City to study.”

“The disciples of Sword Saint Jiuyou are the worst. They always insult Master and praise Sword Saint Jiuyou. I must publicize the truth and let them know that the top Sword Saint of the eastern region is Xuanji, not Jiuyou.”

Zhu Hongtao was furious. With anger burning inside, he slammed his fist down on the table, shattering it with a boom. “Even if Feng Han is dead, I will make the Vampires pay,” he uttered. “I will go to the northern battlefields now. I will not return until I kill ten Immortal Vampire Saints.”

“Why go to the north to kill Immortal Vampires?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
