Chapter 1600 - Reason (1/2)
Half an hour ago.
Because of an important being’s coming, all the evil beings in Yin and Yang Palace stopped comprehending the pictures of the Way of Truth or stopped doing whatever they were doing, heading toward the most towering Senwei Palace.
There were hundreds of great beings gathering in Senwei Palace.
The weakest ones were absolute saints, and some were powerful saint kings who represented the best of their large fields. They were all wild and intractable, but now, they were all sitting in their seats, behaving themselves.
The leaders of Yin and Yang Palace, ‘Queen Lian’ and ‘King Flame,’ the leader of Black Demon Field, ‘Qiong Ling’ and the leader of Thousand Devil Field, ‘Xie Cheng,’ sat in the main seats. Above them sat a silver-haired man wearing three-colored armor.
That man looked twenty years old, wearing a three-feather crimson hat, looking regal, contrary to the hostile evil beings in the palace.
If Zhang Ruochen were here, he would’ve recognized him, Shang Ziyan, the leader of Merits G.o.dly Palace.
Behind Shang Ziyan were ‘Fire Soul Girl,’ ‘Wood Soul Girl’ and ‘Mud Soul Girl,’ looking like three maidens walking out of a beautiful scroll.
w.a.n.g Xu, who was ranked the seventh on the ‘Saints Merits Rank,’ was sitting near Shang Ziyan with a smiley face, tasting a saint wine called ‘Heavenly n.o.bility.’
‘Qiong Ling,’ the leader of Black Demon, stood up, looked around the devils and said, “Ziyan’s coming to Yin and Yang Palace is top secret. If anyone dares say a word to others, I’ll make his life a living h.e.l.l.”
Qiong Ling was known to be ruthless and cruel. That a.s.sertion intimidated all the evil beings sitting down there.
Shang Ziyan said, smiling, “Don’t be so serious, Qiong Ling. I came here to meet them myself. Even if someone else learns about it, it’ll be my fault, not theirs.
The beings from the evil way weren’t stupid. They knew that it would end horribly for them if someone exposed the secret, even though Shang Ziyan had claimed all the responsibility.
Shang Ziyan then said, “Actually, I came to Yin and Yang Palace because I heard a calamity is coming, so I accepted Qiong Ling’s invitation to help you with it.”
Boom!
Shang Ziyan had just dropped a bomb on Senwei Palace.
“A calamity? What does he mean? Why didn’t I know?”
“Yin and Yang Palace has been in Heavenly Capital Saint Market for tens of thousands of years, and there were enemies attacking it once in a while, but they all failed. We did run into some grave dangers before, but we survived all of them.”
“Yin and Yang Palace is prominent with a great many powerful beings. We even have ‘Ma.s.sive Heavenly Net Formation’ to protect us. How are we going to suffer from a calamity?”
…
All the evil beings were discussing, only prominent beings like Queen Lian, King Flame, and Xie Cheng remained calm, as they’d figured what calamity Shang Ziyan meant.
Qiong Ling stood up and said, “About twenty days ago, I received news from a spy from Black Demon Field that Zhang Ruochen arrived in Heavenly Capital Saint Market.”
“Zhang Ruochen? The person from Guanghan Field who’s ranked first on the ‘Saints Merits Rank’?” a half-step saint king with a crocodile head asked.
“Correct.”
Hearing Qiong Ling’s answers, the monks from the evil way who hadn’t received the news beforehand were all nervous.
Zhang Ruochen’s reputation preceded him now. He took back Jingxiang Cliff Dojo right after he came to Truth Heavenly Domain, killing dozens of great beings from Cloud Field, including Bai Ran who had complete body const.i.tution, and King Yi, who was a fourth-step saint king.
Almost everyone was intimidated by Zhang Ruochen.
Now that Zhang Ruochen had arrived in Heavenly Capital Saint Market, he would definitely aim at attacking Yin and Yang Palace as the priest of the Moon G.o.ddess.
Some of the powerful beings from the evil way had known beforehand, so they still looked chill.
Blue Fang, who was ranked seventy-third on the ‘Saints Merits Rank,’ sneered, “Are you trying to scare us, Lord Ziyan? Zhang Ruochen’s indeed a force to be reckoned with, but how can he himself bring a calamity to Yin and Yang Palace?”
A saint king from the evil way followed. “Even if Zhang Ruochen has the G.o.dly power from Moon G.o.ddess, after ‘All Lives Equal,’ there’re still many powerful beings who can take him down themselves.”
“Besides, there’s Ma.s.sive Heavenly Net Formation in Yin and Yang Palace. Even a seventh-step saint king will be trapped here, not to mention a half-step saint king like him.”
All the monks from the evil way nodded.
If they were only half-step saint kings, they would have a legit reason to fear Zhang Ruochen.
However, they were saint kings who had refined much longer than Zhang Ruochen. Even if their cultivation was only at half-step-saint-king level, their saint spells and comprehension of the Way of Truth far surpa.s.sed Zhang Ruochen’s. They didn’t need to be intimidated by Zhang Ruochen at all.
A fourth-step-saint-king creature from the Scorpion Race grimaced and said, “I heard Zhang Ruochen killed King Yi from Cloud Field because of the help of a powerful sword warrior. After ‘All Lives Equal’, Zhang Ruochen’s just as powerful as King Yi. I’m able to suppress him myself.”
“If he actually arrives at Yin and Yang Palace, I’ll take care of him. Leave him to me.”
Shang Ziyan didn’t keep talking after the discussion of all the monks from the evil way. “Sounds like you don’t know the power of a Time and s.p.a.ce Manipulator.”
Everyone immediately became speechless after Shang Ziyan started to talk.
Shang Ziyan said, “You guys all think it’s only been a month since Zhang Ruochen’s last battle, but to Zhang Ruochen, who has the time power, he might’ve refined for several months, or even several years already. Even I can’t figure out his power now.”
Being reminded of Zhang Ruochen’s ident.i.ty as a ‘Time and Sapce Manipulator,’ the monks from the evil way who were fearless all stopped laughing.
