Captain Rat told them everything about what had happened in Moon Wors.h.i.+p Demonic Sect. He cried while talking. “Lord Chen, Le died in such a tragic way. His head was crushed by Qiuyu, and his skull was burning.”
Zhang Ruochen still appeared to be calm. As for the Crazy Alcoholic, he couldn’t be more furious after hearing that. He grabbed Captain Rat and said, “A saint was killed by someone outside in the headquarters? This is a slap in the face to Moon Wors.h.i.+p Demonic Sect. What was s.h.i.+ Qianjue doing?”
Captain Rat felt that its saint Qi was being suppressed. It was shocked. “My cultivation has reached the state of saint, and I’m a Taigu Remain, yet I don’t even have the power to fight back. That old alcoholic is just too powerful.”
It might have been an elder from the demonic sect.
Captain Rat had great cultivation, but it wasn’t brave enough. It said with a trembling voice, “Qiu Yu is a seedling of the Divine Phoenix Tree. He might become a spiritual root and the second G.o.d in Kunlun’s Field. Whoever befriends him will be benefited a great deal in the future. Even the hierarch won’t hamper a relations.h.i.+p with him because of a saint.”
Gu Songzi had departed from the demonic sect a long time ago, yet he still had a strong lingering bond with the demonic sect. He said, “The demonic sect was prominent when the last hierarch reigned. Even facing Chiqing Central Empire, it’d attack them directly. Someone dared kill a saint and forced a saintess to marry him, even if he were a saint, the demonic sect would say no to that.”
Captain Rat found it shocking as it saw the two elders being so furious. Shouldn’t Zhang Ruochen be the angriest one?
However, Zhang Ruochen acted as if nothing had happened. He started to drink again.
Captain Rat said, “Lord Chen, you won’t just let it slide, will you? You should know that the saintess has had her eyes on you forever. If someone forces her to marry someone else, she might as well just die. You must know her feelings for you, right?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Did Blackie tell you to say that?”
Captain Rat didn’t expect Zhang Ruochen to be that perceptive. It then said in a low voice, “Blackie said you’re going to have to keep your promise.”
“My promise…,” Zhang Ruochen mumbled, and then he recalled something that had happened before…
Mu Lingxi was telling him about Luo Xu and Lin Suxian, and she teared up. “Just want you to know that my hierarch might force me to marry you, and I hope that someone can also rush to Peakless Mountain for me someday. If someone did that for me, I’d be willing to die for him.”
“Zhang Ruochen, you should know that the saintess of the demonic sect is just a tool used by the hierarch for publicity, and he’d be willing to give her to a saint at any time.”
“Don’t you worry. If that day comes, there’ll definitely be someone who rushes to Peakless Mountain for you. n.o.body from the demonic sect can stop him.”
…
Mu Lingxi lay on the ground. She thought that Zhang Ruochen was already dead. “If you’re dead, what’s the point of me living?”
…
“Sister Duanmu, what’re you doing?”
“Where did you go? I thought…”
“Don’t ever do anything stupid again. If I were late, even a little bit…”
“As long as you’re alive, I won’t do anything stupid.”
…
“Those from the Mu family don’t like you?”
“Please, if those elders really like me, they wouldn’t have sent me to Martial Market Academy, which is an extremely dangerous thing. If I got exposed… You know what’s going to happen to me.”
…
Zhang Ruochen was really conflicted. He mumbled, “I need to keep my promise.”
He couldn’t keep the happy life forever.
For Mu Lingxi, or for Le, he needed to go to the headquarters of the demonic sect. He needed to climb up Peakless Mountain for a promise, or an explanation.
If it weren’t for Le, Zhang Ruochen’s mother would’ve been killed by Zhang Tiangui.
Le protected Concubine Lin and brought her out of the palace of Yunwu Commandery.
Le was only a sword warrior who was suffering from emotional pain, and he was someone who didn’t care about his own life. Aside from his sword, Zhang Ruochen was his only friend.
Le was a real friend to Zhang Ruochen. Even if they hadn’t seen each other for ages, he would risk anything just to see him.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t have that many friends, yet Le was literally beaten to death. Even if he still managed to stay calm, he was already very belligerent.
After getting confirmation from Zhang Ruochen, Captain Rat couldn’t have been more excited. It yelled, “With you and lord Blackie, the saintess will be saved.”
Zhang Ruochen shot a glance at him and said, “Where is Blackie now?”
“Lord Blackie said that it would annihilate all enemies when it’s necessary,” Captain Rat said.
Zhang Ruochen knew better than everyone else that he couldn’t count on Blackie. If it could really defeat everyone else, it would’ve taken Mu Lingxi away given their friends.h.i.+p instead of sending Captain Rat to him.
The Crazy Alcoholic couldn’t be angrier, and he said, “I’ll follow you to Peakless Mountain, Zhang Ruochen. Those brats from the demonic sect are getting more and more disappointing. I need to teach them a lesson.”
