Zhang Ruochen gazed at them coldly and said, “Give me a reason not to kill him.”
Nine Heavenly Maiden said, “Both of you are victims. All his family was killed by the armies from Sacred Central Empire during the battle in Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion, but there wasn’t any feud between you and Chi Wansui, nor did he attack the descendants of the previous officials from Sacred Central Empire.”
“Are you saying that this is my fault?” asked Zhang Ruochen.
“Neither of you are wrong. It’s this era that did you wrong. If you were born in a different time, there wouldn’t be so much hate and resentment between you,” said Nine Heavenly Maiden.
Zhang Ruochen looked to Qing Xiao and asked, “You don’t think I should kill him, do you?”
Qing Xiao was silent for a long while before saying, “I shouldn’t say anything unnecessary, but I do need to remind you that Chi Wansui has been blinded by hate, twisting his state of mind. Do you want to become like him? You should know that he wasn’t the start of this. Don’t you wonder why the Empress would tell them that you killed their parents?”
Obviously, Qing Xiao, Nine Heavenly Maiden and Chi Wansui all knew that Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongyue were Zhang Ruochen and Empress Chi Yao’s children, but none of them dared tell Zhang Ruochen anything about that.
That was a taboo surrounding the empress.
Zhang Ruochen stared at Chi Wansui and recalled lots of things that had happened.
He used to be both enemy and comrade-in-arms. Back then, Chi Wansui was still an honorable man with morals, and he would never exploit two innocent children.
Sizzle!
Zhang Ruochen pulled the b.l.o.o.d.y Abyss Ancient Sword out and said, “A calamity is. .h.i.tting Kunlun’s Field soon, so I’ll spare his life for that, but what you’ve done is so despicable. I’ll teach you a lesson by destroying one of your arms.”
Sizzle!
Zhang Ruochen wielded a cl.u.s.ter of Divine Fire Jingmie and burnt Chi Wansui’s left arm into ashes.
Chi Wansui kept gasping and shaking his body because of the agony he endured.
However, Zhang Ruochen wasn’t happy at all after doing that. Instead, he couldn’t feel more desolate and bitter as he prepared to leave.
His emotions were in a mess because Chi Kunlun and Chi Konglun had shown up. He was happy to see his kids, but he was also dismayed. Zhang Ruochen wanted to ponder how to face the two of them.
Nine Heavenly Maiden said, “Wait a sec.”
Zhang Ruochen stopped but didn’t turn around.
Nine Heavenly Maiden walked toward Zhang Ruochen. Seeing how much pain he was in, she hesitated to talk at all.
Qing Xiao didn’t mind it. He said without filter, “Kunlun’s Field needs your help this time. We need your help to get back Xumi Dojo in Truth Heavenly Domain left by Saint Monk Xumi.”
Zhang Ruochen stopped being upset and said, “I promised Luo Xu that I’d help Kunlun’s Field to pay him back for last time, but I don’t understand why you haven’t gone back to set up a defense formation now that Kunlun’s Field’s Heaven and Earth Altar is about to be conquered. What’s the point of refining in Truth Heavenly Domain?”
Nine Heavenly Maiden said, “A hundred thousand years ago, Kunlun’s Field was almost destroyed by the G.o.ds from h.e.l.l World. It was Saint Monk Xumi who sacrificed all his G.o.dly power to seal all the holes to preserve Kunlun’s Field.
“But now, Saint Monk Xumi’s G.o.dly power has almost withered away, and those holes will be opened again, after which Kunlun’s Field will become a warzone where all the ordinary people die.
“However, her majesty gave us an oracle message that Saint Monk Xumi left an object in Xumi Dojo, and if we can get that object, we can mobilize the s.p.a.ce inscriptions and time prints left by Saint Monk Xumi.
“Once those s.p.a.ce inscriptions and time prints are activated, they can be more than enough to ward off the saint kings from h.e.l.l World.”
Zhang Ruochen thought and said, “Only creatures under supreme saints can enter the battle in the large field battlefield. If there is something in Xumi Dojo that can activate the s.p.a.ce inscriptions and time prints left by Saint Monk Xumi, the monks from Kunlun’s Field might be able to fight back in the battle instead of watching their homeland being ravaged by h.e.l.l World and the secular fields under Heaven World.”
“That’s right,” said Nine Heavenly Maiden.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “When are you going to attack Xumi Dojo?”
Nine Heavenly Maiden said, “It is the monks from Heaven Field, the ruling field of the western universe, that’s occupying Xumi Dojo, and there’re also disciples from s.p.a.ce G.o.dly Palace and Time G.o.dly Palace refining there. Even after ‘All Lives Equal’, it’ll be very difficult for us to take back the dojo.’
There were a great many powerful beings from Heaven Field, and those from s.p.a.ce G.o.dly Palace and Time G.o.dly Palace had incredible skills.
It was a hard battle to fight!
Nine Heavenly Maiden continued. “Which is why we need to get very well prepared before we take action. With your help, we can attack Xumi Dojo in three days.”
“Okay. Notify me in three days.”
