Chapter 1832 - The Demonic Blood Ax Engraving (1/2)
Zhang Ruochen knew that the person Fairy Tianchu referred to was Ji Fanxin.
Unfortunately, in seeking a breakthrough, Ji Fanxin had entered Luoshui alone and was not in the Holy City.
Luoshui was mysterious and shrouded in a bizarre power. Even if Zhang Ruochen was to send a message to Ji Fanxin, she would probably not be able to receive it. A distant well cannot put out a nearby fire.
Zhang Ruochen touched his chin lightly with his fingers. “Seems like we can only pin our hopes on the Eastern Region Saint King Manor.”
The Eastern Region Saint King Manor had been in operation for so many years in the Holy City, and had a very profound background, with advantages in location and manpower, trying to take it down was not an easy thing to do.
It was like an old tortoise lying on the ground, while its offensive power may be far less than an alpha lion, but it was still difficult for that alpha lion to break its sh.e.l.l and eat it.
Fairy Tianchu took out the box containing the tortoisesh.e.l.l fragment and held it out on her fair palm as she handed it to Zhang Ruochen, saying, “I know that this is of great value to you. Even though it is nowhere as good as a hundred thousand drops of Divine Spring, you… shouldn’t refuse my kindness.”
“Sure enough, she has already guessed that I’m Lin Yue. She’s just that intelligent.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled awkwardly as he took the box and weighed it twice in his hand before he put it into the Dimensional Ring and said, “Please leave the Eastern Region Holy City. This has nothing to do with you. You are the Celestial Maiden of the Tianchu Civilization, so they will not dare to fight you openly.”
“Since you know what I’m the Celestian Maiden of the Tianchu Civilization, you should understand that provoking a Celestial Maiden only leads to bad things. If I want to leave, even an Array Master cannot stop me. Anyone that dares to attack me will pay a very heavy price.”
Fairy Tianchu leaned forward and stood under the candle. The candlelight s.h.i.+ning on her face made it look like a layer of white fluorescence was on her skin, as if it was flesh made out of ice and bones out of jade, extremely alluring.
She might have looked elegant and meek, but whenever she got tough, no one could change her mind.
As the heir to an ancient civilization, be it her state of mind, or the cards at her disposal, she would definitely far exceed cultivators of the same rank.
Zhang Ruochen did not attempt to persuade Fairy Tianchu any more, as he walked out of the private room, and returned back to the room on the fifth floor of Tianjue Pavilion.
“Big Brother, you’ve gotten the tortoisesh.e.l.l fragment?” Xiang Chunan asked with concern.
“Yeah.”
Zhang Ruochen did not hide anything and nodded softly.
Xiang Chunan laughed out loud. “I just know that if Big Brother shows up, he will get the job done.”
Luo Yi was quite surprised, and he asked, “You were able to guess that?”
Xiang Chunan patted his chest as if he had seen through everything, and he said, “My big brother’s looks are top notch, like a literal tree of jade in the wind, and that whatever Fairy Tianchu, is as ugly as a sow. As long as my brother uses his Pretty Boy scheme, she won’t fall head over heels for him? My big brother’s charm, is nothing ordinary, no?”
“Pretty Boy scheme? I did not expect Brother Ruochen to have such a technique at play.” Luo Yi laughed.
Zhang Ruochen felt his head ached. Xiang Chunan, this d.a.m.ned fool, forget his distorted sense of aesthetics, he actually looked at his big brother with such distorted lenses.
He, Zhang Ruochen had always depended on his strength to take on the world, since when did he relied on his face?
Plus, wanting to conquer a woman like Fairy Tianchu, how can he succeed with just a mere Pretty Boy scheme?
With Fairy Tianchu’s state of mind, their meeting by chance on the Altar of Divinity Bestowment probably held an even lesser position in her heart than the favor of Zhang Ruochen gifting her a hundred thousand drops of Divine Spring.
Those hundred thousand drops of Divine Spring was “Lin Yue” who had fought desperately for it.
Plus, ‘Lin Yue’ kept his promise and personally handed the one hundred thousand drops of Divine Spring to her hands, before leaving just like that and disappeared into the world.
Forget Fairy Tianchu, any woman who had experienced that would find it hard to forget.
Luo Yi’s expression became serious as he said, “Since we have the tortoisesh.e.l.l fragment in our hands, should we activate the teleportation array and leave now?”
“No, unless as a last resort, we cannot activate the teleportation array.”
Zhang Ruochen explained the ident.i.ty of Mister G.o.dcliff.
After hearing that, the hearts of everyone sank to the bottom.
“What do we do now? Are we going to sit here and wait for our deaths?” Luo Yi said.
Zhang Ruochen took a deep look at Luo Yi and said, “Brother Luo, you are a disciple of the Shangyuan Sect, and your status is distinguished, as long as you don’t get too close to us, they won’t dare to lay a hand on you. How about you leave first, Brother Luo?”
Luo Yi’s eyelids twitched as he slammed the table a little angrily. “Brother Ruochen? Do you take Luo Yi as a person who is afraid of trouble? Since Chunan regards me as a brother, we will go through it together, for better or worse.”
“Good man. My judgement of you isn’t wrong,” Xiang Chunan said.
“Brother Luo, please don’t be angry. I did not mean anything else, but now the situation in Tianjue Pavilion is just too delicate, and no one knows what will happen. I only said that because I don’t want to drag you down with me.”
As he said that, Zhang Ruochen closed his as he thought about how to break out of this situation.
The auction outside was coming to an end.
Four cultivators with buff bodies carried the last auction item onto the suspended sacred jade platform. As it was too heavy, the platform sank by three feet.
The item on auction was several feet high, and was covered by a black cloth that could block any spiritual power surveying, and gave out a sense of mystery.
“They have sold many rare treasures earlier, and this final auction item is definitely not a simple thing.”
