Chapter 1804 - Only The Stars but No Moon (1/2)

“It is not for me but you and the Zhang Clan!” said the gray-haired old man argumentatively.

Zhang Ruochen stopped attacking. “What do you mean?”

“The Zhangs are going to be left without offspring. Don’t you know that? There are three things which are unfilial, and to have no posterity is the greatest of them. As one of the few men left in the Zhang Clan, your foremost priority should be to produce offspring and multiply. One good thing about you is, you have a strong bloodline, and your children would be no less potent than you are. I was relieved and thought you knew what you were doing when I saw there were tons of beautiful women around you. They were all of top-notch quality. I have been observing all this while. Yet you have never touched any of them. You are making me worry!”

The old man shook his head in disappointment as he reproached Zhang Ruochen.

Qianyue, the Saintess, took a sacred robe and carefully examined it. Sure enough, she found some powder-like substance on the robe. She wiped her finger against the fabric to pick up the powder. The substance instantly permeated into her skin.

She felt her finger unbearably itchy. Something strange was happening to her body.

Her face blushed. She bit her lips and gritted her teeth as she nodded at Zhang Ruochen.

“You have successfully made an evil drug that could affect the Saints, you old fart? Not bad, huh?” Zhang Ruochen pressed his fingers against the temples.

“Not only that, but it also works on the Saint Kings. I can make some more if you want to try. Keep a large pack with you so it will come in handy when the opportunity arises,” said the gray-haired old man triumphantly.

Zhang Ruochen summoned his spiritual power and injected it into the Yi Huang Bone Scepter so it turned into a black skeleton. Using this, he launched an all-out attack against the gray-haired old man.

At the same time, he took out eighteen flags of the Conflagration of Heaven and Earth Formation to block off the land and air in the entire area.

“Stop pretending already, old man. Who are you, really? Why did you intrude into the Royal Mountain?” Zhang Ruochen performed a Dimensional s.h.i.+ft and a joint-lock Saint technique. But each time, he was one step behind the gray-haired man, failing to catch him.

The gray-haired old man suddenly stopped running. “All right! Let me tell you, I am the guardian of the Zhang Clan. I have been living in the Royal Mountain for the past one hundred thousand years, guarding the tomb of the Zhang Clan.”

Zhang Ruochen frowned. “Bullsh*t! The Zhang Clan only founded Yunwu Commandery over four hundred years ago. Where did the one-hundred-thousand-year history come from?”

“Heck, you’re an ignorant little kid,” said the gray-haired old man. “You sounded as if the Zhang Clan was born out of thin air four hundred years ago. Or did they just come from a piece of rock? Let me tell ya, everyone who lives could trace back their family roots to thousands of years ago.”

Zhang Ruochen had to admit that this old man had a point.

“I suppose your cultivation base must be above the Lesser Precept World of a Nine-step Saint King?” said Zhang Ruochen.

“So what if I am?” The gray-haired old man stood proudly.

“The Zhangs are just a small clan. Even giving birth to a Fish-dragon-Realm cultivator wasn’t something easy. How could we have a Saint King-level guardian?” asked Zhang Ruochen.

“Aren’t you a Saint King yourself?” The Gray-haired old man looked at him with his eyes wide open.

“I—”

However, the gray-haired old man did not allow Zhang Ruochen the chance to speak. “The Zhang Clan has declined for sure. But during the medieval period, they were at their most glorious days. Many great figures and talents had risen among them. The clan was growing and their members were scattered all over the Kunlun Realm. Yes, the key was the clan was growing.”

The gray-haired old man’s eyes brightened up as he spoke.

Yet, Zhang Ruochen did not believe him. “As much as they grew, they could never surpa.s.s the Zhangs from the Central Region, could they?”

“Hey, kid! You are right. The Zhangs from the Central Region is a branch of our Zhang Clan. This is where their ancestral land is,” said the gray-haired old man unashamedly as he pointed at the land under his feet.

How he wished he could give the old man a good beating. But Zhang Ruochen held his anger back. “You look like no ordinary man. Why do you want to poke fun at a junior like me? If you leave the Royal Mountain now, I would pretend nothing has ever happened before.”

The gray-haired old man quickly put up his hand. “I can’t leave the Royal Mountain. Otherwise, I will be exposed.”

So he was determined to stay no matter what?

Zhang Ruochen quickly contacted Ji Fanxin through spiritual power. “This man’s cultivation base is unfathomably high. I fear that he has come up to no good. I hope you, Fairy, could help me apprehend him.”

As if the gray-haired old man had overheard their telepathic communication, his sneaky eyes brightened up as they landed on Ji Fanxin. “Not bad, not bad at all! A Lotus of Divine Reflection has cultivated into such a perfect body. She is definitely out of this world, straight out of the fairytale. If she could marry into our Zhang Clan, the looks of the offspring definitely won’t go wrong. Who knows, she could even give birth to some bada.s.s figures.”

While speaking, the gray-haired old man flew toward Ji Fanxin.

“Watch out!” Zhang Ruochen warned.

Ji Fanxin saw it coming. She extended her white hand and tapped her finger in the air.

A sea of petals appearing out of thin air formed a pink petal array, producing a mighty power of the Path as it spun.

Bang!

The gray-haired old man crushed the petal array and came in front of Ji Fanxin.

Just when Ji Fanxi was still in her shock, the gray-haired old man sprinkled a powdery substance at her, then turned around and disappeared into the woods like a wild rabbit.

“I can only help you so much, Zhang Ruochen!” The voice of the gray-haired old man was heard coming from the woods.

“Help my foot!”
