“What’s going on? Did that Zhang Ruochen offend all the cultivators in the world?”
The Crazy Alcoholic pressed a hand to Zhang Ruochen’s back. He turned around and was frightened when he saw the swarm of cultivators.
There were too many attacking and it was difficult to count them. Some attacked obviously while others were hidden in the darkness.
The ones in broad daylight were just average. However, the hidden ones were all very strong. They were at least Saints.
Some might want the treasures, but others wanted to kill Zhang Ruochen, not wanting to let him leave the imperial city.
“The Empress didn’t make a command, but I can guess her thoughts. She just wants to kill Zhang Ruochen and get rid of future threats. It’s just that she can’t do it herself.”
The higher-ups of the imperial court and Ministry of War were guessing the Empress’ thoughts. They wanted to cut off Zhang Ruochen’s head to get on the Empress’ good side.
“The Nine Heirs all suffered under Zhang Ruochen. We must kill Zhang Ruochen to take revenge for them.”
“The Empress has become a G.o.d. She will step down from the throne soon. The newest ruler of Kunlun’s Field will definitely be one of the nine Heirs. Whoever kills Zhang Ruochen will be greatly successful in the future.”
Beams of Destruction of Thousand Patterns and saintly spells fell from the sky to kill Zhang Ruochen.
Gu Songzi’s Spiritual Power was very strong. He naturally heard some of the telepathic messages, so he understood what was happening. “No matter what,” he said darkly, “Zhang Ruochen saved many humans. Even I’m impressed by some of the things. The Empress is truly cruel to kill him completely.”
Gu Songzi already knew about the Empress forcing the Crazy Alcoholic to kneel down and make a vow back then. Thus, he also resented the Empress.
Gu Songzi was about to attack, when cold wind suddenly blew over. A woman with white hair suddenly appeared before them.
She had a head of white hair, but she didn’t seem old. She had extremely youthful and beautiful features. Her skin was milky white, her lips red, and her lashes long. She was elegant like a G.o.ddess that had walked out of a painting.
But cold force surged out of her body.
“Die.”
She didn’t do anything and just uttered this word from her red lips.
Boom, boom.
Many cultivators exploded into b.l.o.o.d.y mist. Some of the cultivators who were further away let out pained cries and fell from the sky.
Merely that one word cleared up a patch. Tens of thousands of cultivators died. A b.l.o.o.d.y odor hung in the air.
The sky turned red.
“She’s the Saint Elder of Sacred Central Crypt. Run!”
“Oh my, how come this demoness is at the Central Emperor City again? Hurry and leave this place. If you anger her, your body will be buried thousands of feet underground.”
“Oh no. Since the Saint Elder is here, Zhang Ruochen’s treasures will most likely be taken by her. If she gets his treasures, won’t her cultivation improve even more?”
Both the n.o.bodies in clear daylight and the big figures hiding in the shadows were running now.
Whoos.h.!.+
A thousand-mile-long bridge of blue clouds flew out of the Central Emperor City. The bridge was densely covered in words.
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi stepped on the bridge and came to the outside of the city. He was hundreds of feet from the ground. Behind him stood ten Saints of the Confucius Way, including the leaders of the four sects.
In addition, Heavenly King Douzhan, Kill-All King, and other figures of the Ministry of War also appeared in other directions.
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi wore a Confucian robe and emanated a mighty aura. His voice traveled across the land. “Kong Lanyou, the Empress has become a G.o.d and you still dare to kill freely in the Central Emperor City? Do you really think the Empress won’t kill you?”
Two beams of sharp light shot from Kong Lanyou’s eyes. “So what if Chi Yao becomes a G.o.d? Someone will make her pay what she owes. w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi, if you know your place, take the useless people of the imperial court and get out. Don’t force me to ma.s.sacre you all.”
On the side, the Crazy Alcoholic and Gu Songzi exchanged glances. They both had strange expressions, thinking, The Saint Elder is so powerful. She dares to speak to w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi like this. That’s the Saint Master of the Confucius Way and advisor of the First Central Empire. He’s a very important figure of Kunlun’s Field.
A Confucian with white whiskers and hair walked out from behind w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi. “Blasphemy,” he said coldly. “A new G.o.d has been born and the world is at peace. How can we allow a demoness like you to continue succeeding?”
Kong Lanyou’s phoenix-like eyes glanced at him. She extended a pale finger and pointed.
“Oh no.”
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi’s expression changed and hurriedly released Spiritual Power.
The next moment, Spiritual Qi continuously streamed over. They transformed into various abstruse saintly words and formed the word “s.h.i.+eld.”
Thud.
In an instant, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi’s “s.h.i.+eld” broke apart. An invisible beam of power flew from his neck and hit the white-haired Confucian.
Slice.
The next moment, the Confucian’s body was split apart. The b.l.o.o.d.y corpse fell from the sky.
Many cultivators in the imperial city looked in that direction. Seeing a Confucian get killed, they all trembled.
The Saints present were all intimidated by Kong Lanyou’s action.
Heavenly King Douzhan’s eyes darkened. Holding a snake spear, he walked forward.
