The dozens of core a.s.sa.s.sins from the G.o.d of Death Palace paved the way.

Qin Kai walked on the road wearing a black G.o.d of Death cape. He was six feet six inches tall with slender hands and feet. There were six dragons on his black cape, dimming with crimson fluorescent light that seemed about to fly out.

As he stood in front of Zhang Ruochen, the ground shook, and Zhang Ruochen’s bones made a cracking sound, and the invisible force intimidated all the monks around.

Zhang Ruochen squinted his eyes, and he saw the shadow of a four-armed blood demon above Qin Kai’s head, and it was more than twelve feet tall.

The four-armed blood demon was formed by murderous Qi, and it was called ‘Murderous Qi Saint Look’.

The Murderous Qi Saint Look wasn’t a real saint look, but sometimes, it was more terrific than real saint looks. For a top-tier a.s.sa.s.sin like Qin Kai, all he needed to do was to release the Murderous Qi Saint Look, and it was enough to horrify many monks.

Those core a.s.sa.s.sins who were ferocious were all silent out of fear as if they had just met their kings.

Zhang Ruochen looked around, and they found Ji Fanxin and Xie Chengzi standing at the top of a palace nearby.

Zhang Ruochen was very pleased that Ji s.h.i.+xin didn’t choose to run away.

Zhang Ruochen carefully released a trace of mind power, forming an invisible thread, extending toward Ji Fanxin, preparing to talk with her.

Qin Kai was highly vigilant. He twitched his eyebrows and pointed his finger forward.

Bang!

He dispersed Zhang Ruochen’s mind power thread.

Qin Kai looked toward where the mind power thread extended, yet he couldn’t find anyone there as Ji Fanxin and Xie Chengzi had hidden themselves.

“Seems like you’re not alone, and the two of them have impressive cultivation.” Qin Kai just released mind power for inspection, but he didn’t find Ji Fanxin and Xie Chengzi, which was to his surprise.

His mind power had reached level fifty-nine, meaning that he was almost a mind power supreme saint. There were only a few creatures under supreme saints who could dodge his inspection.

Zhang Ruochen was very glum given how powerful Qin Kai was, but he didn’t panic. He said calmly, “It was Elder Qi who tried to kill me first, and I was forced to protect myself.”

That Killer Heavenly King who brought Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin to Elder Qi was standing behind Qin Kai and seemed to have a great status. He said with a deep voice, “Nonsense. Elder Qi was just trying to charge you a deposit. Why would he ever want to kill you? I bet Elder Qi attacked you because you couldn’t afford the deposit while trying to get away with being punished by the G.o.d of Death Palace.”

Zhang Ruochen released his heavenly eyes and looked to that Killer Heavenly King. He immediately saw that the techniques he refined were very close to the ‘Immortal Demonic Technique’ performed by Elder Qi. It was likely that he was also a monk from Black Demon Field, or probably Elder Qi’s right-hand man.

“Can’t afford the deposit?”

Zhang Ruochen took out a storage bag and threw it to Qin Kai. “I’ve always heard that the G.o.d of Death Palace values reputation the most, and it’s always absolutely neutral, never interfering with any power struggle among the fields, yet I’m really disappointed today.

“That Elder Qi of yours was a monk from Black Demon Field, wasn’t he? Was he really devoted to working for the G.o.d of Death Palace? Are you sure that he never betrayed the G.o.d of Death Palace for Black Demon Field?”

That Killer Heavenly King sneered. “Elder Qi joined the G.o.d of Death Palace more than seven hundred years ago. Why would he betray the G.o.d of Death Palace?”

Zhang Ruochen said, “I put an order of around one point four billion saint stones in the G.o.d of Death Palace. I think that should make me an important client of the G.o.d of Death Palace, shouldn’t it? Don’t you think Elder Qi trying to kill me is damaging the G.o.d of Death Palace’s reputation?”

“That’s just your side of the story.”

“Enough…” Qin Kai whispered, and that Killer Heavenly King immediately shut up.

Qin Kai threw the storage bag back to Zhang Ruochen and said, “The saint stones inside are indeed enough to pay for the deposit. We do need to overhaul this deal given how suspicious it looks.”

That Killer Heavenly King said, “Brother Qin, we can’t just let Elder Qi die without investigation. What about our dignity?”

“Our dignity is indeed important, but our reputation is also important. If a guest who has a deal more than one billion saint stones dies in the G.o.d of Death Palace for no reason, n.o.body will do business with the G.o.d of Death Palace in the future.

Qin Kai stared at that Killer Heavenly King and said, “A deal worth more than one billion saint stones should’ve gone to our palace leader. This is a huge issue, so it’s not up to us to decide.”

That Killer Heavenly King bowed, lowered his head, and agreed.

Zhang Ruochen felt a bit relieved and thought, Power and wealth are the basics for surviving. If it weren’t for the one-point-four-billion-saint-stone deal I made at the Life and Death Cliff, the G.o.d of Death Palace would’ve killed me without any concern.

Qin Kai walked into the weapon-refining pavilion to check the fighting traces.

Demonic Sound transmitted her voice to Zhang Ruochen. “What should we do now, master? Should we seize this chance to run away?”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “Qin Kai might be as powerful as the top ten G.o.dly disciples, so it’ll be almost impossible to flee in front of him, and besides, this tomb is incredible, and we might not be able to get away.”

“Are we just going to sit here and wait?” Demonic Sound couldn’t be more worried.

Zhang Ruochen said, “The fight traces can reveal a lot of things. We can only hope that Qin Kai is perceptive enough.”

Demonic Sound was still worried. “Even if Qin Kai can see that Elder Qi prepared a lot to kill us, Elder Qi was a senior from G.o.d of Death Palace after all. Qin Kai will definitely help cover the truth and prevent a scandal from spreading. This won’t end well for us.”

Zhang Ruochen had obviously thought of that, and if that really happened, he’d have to take out the G.o.dly scepter to contact the Moon G.o.ddess. As long as the Moon G.o.ddess was here, the G.o.d of Death Palace would spare their lives for her sake.
