Chapter 1670 - Origin (1/2)
The battle in the Free Trade Yard immediately became known to the monks in the G.o.d-Naming Platform, and they were all shocked.
Two strange men that came out of nowhere had killed more than ten saint kings from Heaven Field Sect, including the leader of a large field and four four-wing crimson angels.
“Where did they come from? Shang Ziyan and Gong Ziyan fought them at the same time, yet they still managed to escape them.”
“Didn’t you see that they used a supreme saint weapon? They must have a solid background.”
“How do you think Truth G.o.dly Palace will deal with the two strange men?”
“Not even Truth G.o.dly Palace can do anything to those two strange men. It was the monks from Heaven Field Sect who made the first attack, and besides, Feng Yan is close friends with those two strange men. With Feng Yan’s influence in Truth G.o.dly Palace, he’ll easily wash away all the ‘crimes’ they two committed.”
…
The two strange men everyone was talking about were Zhang Ruochen and Xiang Chunan. After getting out, they immediately hid at the edge of the forbidden area above the white bone slope in the Outer South Yard.
If Shang Ziyan and Gong Ziyan caught up with them, they’d run into the forbidden area.
“Those two people have terrific cultivation, especially the man with three red feathers on his head. Who is he?” Xiang Chunan asked.
Zhang Ruochen said, “He’s the leader of Merits G.o.dly Palace, Shang Ziyan, also my mortal enemy. Sorry, I shouldn’t have dragged you into this.”
Xiang Chunan said earnestly, “What are you talking about? Do you think I’m the cowardly type?”
“Don’t talk!”
Zhang Ruochen put his index finger on his lip, and a layer of Sword Way Xuangang emerged on his sword. He stared at the white bone slope and said, “Who’s there? Show yourself!”
“Huh.”
A melodious laugh came, and a cl.u.s.ter of starry mist showed up on the white bone slope.
Thousand Star Maiden stood in the starry mist, wearing a purple blouse. Her long black hair dripped like willow catkins, and she was wearing a red hat that was a foot tall.
Thousand Star Maiden said elegantly, “You’re very vigilant, Zhang Ruochen. You noticed me so fast!”
Zhang Ruochen looked more solemn seeing Thousand Star Maiden, preparing to get into the forbidden area at any time.
“Zhang Ruochen? You’ve mistaken me for someone else,” said Zhang Ruochen.
Thousand Star Maiden said, “You can’t deceive me like others, and there’s no need to be careful around me. I’m not necessarily your enemy, and perhaps we can even become temporary friends.”
Zhang Ruochen was shocked, as his Traceless 36 Changes didn’t work in front of her. If she were a supreme saint, he could understand, as he hadn’t perfected the technique yet. However, her cultivation was much stronger than his.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Friends? Are you kidding, your highness? How can two people with Mysteries of Truth become friends?”
By saying that, he had affirmed his ident.i.ty.
Thousand Star Maiden smiled and said, “You’re right. Two people both with Mysteries of Truth are indeed natural enemies, which is why I said ‘temporary friends.’”
“How long is temporary for you?” asked Zhang Ruochen.
Thousand Star Maiden said, “Why do you stand so far from me? Why can’t we just sit down and have a chat?”
She was likely to refine Way of the Void and kill him to get his Mysteries of Truth. There was no way Zhang Ruochen would let her get close to him.
“My cultivation is only slightly better than yours. You’re a Time and s.p.a.ce Manipulator. Are you really afraid of me? Where is the heroic spirit from when you killed all those saint kings?”
Zhang Ruochen looked around and said, “If you really mean me no harm, why did you arrange two monks to hide near us?”
It was Thousand Star Maiden who was surprised this time.
She did have something very important to do, and she wanted to team up with Zhang Ruochen. However, she was also concered that Zhang Ruochen might try to kill her, so she came prepared.
The two people Thousand Star Maiden asked to stay near were the two most powerful beings from Thousand Star Civilization staying in Truth G.o.dly Palace.
However, even they couldn’t hide from Zhang Ruochen, which was beyond her expectations.
Thousand Star Maiden thought for a while, then she waved her hand and said, “Stay away.”
The two monks showed up on both sides of the white bone slope and stepped back until they looked like two small black spots to Zhang Ruochen, standing in the distance to guard the area of the white bone slope.
“Is this sincere enough?” Thousand Star Maiden asked.
Zhang Ruochen wasn’t really afraid of Thousand Star Maiden, but he also didn’t want to play with his own life. Now that Thousand Star Maiden didn’t attack him and had sent the two powerful beings away, it was obvious that she really had something to negotiate with him.
Actually, Zhang Ruochen was also curious.
“Okay. Let’s talk,” said Zhang Ruochen.
It was all dark around the forbidden area.
Thousand Star Maiden took out a delicate long jade desk and put it on the ground, and then, she took out a sarira lamp and put it on the desk before she sat down on the side of the long desk.
The Buddha light emanating from the sarira lamp shone upon her face, which made her skin look glittering and transculent.
Zhang Ruochen sat on the other side of the white jade desk and said, “We both have Mysteries of Truth, yet we can literally sit down and talk calmly. It’s such a miracle.”
