Chapter 1361: Yao Pool
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
To the imperial government, this battle was horrible.
A wanted person had dared trespa.s.s in the empire city to commit slaughtering, overlooking the royal laws and the imperial government. This was reckless.
If the imperial government couldn’t catch Zhang Ruochen, everyone would be laughing at it.
The guarding formation of Central Empire City was turned on, and then, light engraving chains surged to the sky, connecting the heaven and earth, locking down the entire city to stop Zhang Ruochen from running away.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t plan to escape from the empire city. After all, everyone thought that he would be running away, so it’d be dangerous for him to do that.
Instead, it’d be better for him to stay in the empire city.
Obviously, he could go back to the heir mansion no more, so he needed to find somewhere else.
Zhang Ruochen left the seventh city region, walking on the street covered by snow. He had calmed himself down already. Even though Tianming Corpse Emperor managed to get away, the Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race and Ancient Necromancy Race still paid a huge price.
After that fight, the other powers would need to think twice if they wanted to go after him.
A seven-year-old kid yelled on the street, “Look, daddy! There’s a moon in the sky.”
“How come we can still see a moon in this kind of weather? Wait, it is indeed a moon, and it’s moving.” The middle-aged man standing beside the kid was a bit surprised.
Zhang Ruochen also raised his head, and he saw the gleaming moon hanging in the dark sky. The light from the ‘moon’ only shone upon a specific city region, which was the seventh city region.
Suddenly, the moon started to move toward another city region.
Only those who had reached the state of saint could see that it wasn’t a moon. Instead, it was a giant mirror.
“Is that the Revealing Mirror, the supreme saint weapon of the Confucius Way?”
Zhang Ruochen was a bit scared.
It was said that the Revealing Mirror was able to detect all the camouflage in the world. Zhang Ruochen wasn’t proficient in Traceless 36 Changes yet, so he would definitely be detected once he was reflected upon the mirror.
“Those old guys from the Way of Confucius are using the supreme saint weapon to capture me and Ling Feiyu. How marvelous.”
The Revealing Mirror was quick at capturing, and it only took it a breath to fully inspect a city region.
There were armies on the ground cooperating with them too.
After they finished inspecting one city region and making sure Zhang Ruochen wasn’t hiding inside, they immediately turned on the guarding formation, blocking the entire city region.
It would only take them a short while to find Zhang Ruochen if they kept searching like this.
“The one who’s using the Revealing Mirror has got to have incredible mind power to use the mirror so efficiently. What should I do now?”
Zhang Ruochen frowned, as he knew that n.o.body could save him if he was captured.
Where could he hide?
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen came up with an idea. He mumbled, “Yao Pool.”
An ancient but deep memory emerged in Zhang Ruochen’s mind at this moment.
Eight hundred years ago, Yao Pool was a manor that belonged to Qingchi Central Empire, and it was also a garden that Emperor Qing gave to Princess Chi Yao. That was where Zhang Ruochen met Chi Yao for the first time.
Every time Emperor Qing and Emperor Ming met, it was there.
That being said, Yao Pool wasn’t just a manor. Instead, it was a very special place where there was a formation made by Emperor Qing and Emperor Ming, which could block all inspection from the outside.
The two emperors were confidants and the heads of two central empires. Every time they met up, they would talk about everything for ages, and that was when Zhang Ruochen had a lot of chances to meet up with Chi Yao. There were many golden memories in Yao Pool.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to go there at all if he had any other choice. The more beautiful the memories were, the most pain he would suffer thinking about them.
However, due to the threat of the Revealing Mirror, Zhang Ruochen went to that ancient manor, standing on the snow and looking at the manor’s door.
It used to be a suburb of the empire city, but now, it was in the urban area.
The manor was still the same, and even the plaque on the door hadn’t changed at all.
However, Yao Pool was completely dead now, and there were no guards or servants. There were two seals on the door, ‘Forbidden’ and ‘Executed with no exceptions.’
It was a place that was off-limits.
The monks who walked past that place were all intimidated by the manor. They didn’t even dare get close.
The two seals seemed to contain the secrets that the owner never wanted to reveal. Anyone who dared trespa.s.s in that place would be executed.
Zhang Ruochen walked toward the door, stayed still for a while and touched the seals with his hand.
Bang!
