Chapter 1849 - : Reunion (1/2)
The Battle of Eastern Region Holy City had finally ended, and those cultivators from the Heavenly Realm, led by Mr. G.o.dcliff, had lost and escaped.
Zhang Ruochen, Murong Yefeng, and others had risen to fame after the battle. They had become the role model of the Eastern Region cultivators.
It was because of them that the cultivators from other macroworlds realized that the Kunlun Realm was not a lame duck that they could bully. There were still some kick-a.s.s figures there.
Xie Canghai and Jueyan Hu were killed.
Tian Chen was captured, while Mr. G.o.dcliff was wounded but had escaped.
…
Such a track record was terrific enough to deter them.
Peace and serenity returned to Eastern Region Holy City.
During this sensitive period, the Saint-level cultivators of the major macroworlds went silent and were cautious not to do anything.
The palace of Eastern Region.
Zhang Ruochen and Chen Yin, Prince of the Eastern Region, were sitting face-to-face.
Prince of Eastern Region was a t.i.tle given by Empress Chi Yao as an official position. Meanwhile, Zhang Ruochen who held the Seal of Flames was the real deal, the king of the region.
Zhang Ruochen told him of his encounter with Chen Yuhua.
After hearing all that, Chen Yin’s reaction was unusually calm, sighing. “Father finally found someone who could continue to carry the Seal of Flames before he died. I am sure he left in peace.”
“But I still couldn’t control the Seal of Flames,” said Zhang Ruochen.
He was still a long way to go before he could attain 59-order spiritual power.
There was a hint of worry in Chen Yin’s eyes.
The Great Orbital Array was badly damaged by Mr. G.o.dcliff and his gangs. It could no longer protect Eastern Region Holy City until it was fully restored.
Even the Nine Stratum Array guarding the princ.i.p.al city of the Eastern Region suffered damage.
Under such circ.u.mstances, if the ancient inscription could not be activated, Eastern Region Holy City would be in danger. If the cultivators from the Infernal Court came to attack, it would be a disaster for the city.
Besides, the cultivators from the Heavenly Realm, Shengze Realm, Blackdemon Realm, and other macroworlds were also posing a threat.
They were not going to give up unless they got their revenge.
Jiang Yunchong put his hands behind him as he stood at the window. “If you trust me, Zhang Ruochen, I can take control of the seal on your behalf temporarily.”
“You have attained 59-order spiritual power?” asked Zhang Ruochen.
Jiang Yunchong spun around and smiled. “My spiritual power isn’t that powerful. But someone else is.”
“Yin Ruo.”
A dark purple Commandment Soul Jar appeared in Jiang Yunchong’s hand.
An extremely beautiful lady flew out of the jar, her body translucent and immersed in a rain of light.
Zhang Ruochen used his spiritual power to summon lightning from the void to strike at Yin Ruo.
The lady was all smiles as she extended her hand, drawing a circle in the air with her finger. The circle spun, formed into a large vortex, and devoured the lightning attacking her. Zhang Ruochen then nodded, believing she possessed 50-order spiritual power.
“Who is she?”
“Yin Ruo.”
Jiang Yunchong held Yin Ruo’s translucent hand, sounding melancholy. “Back then, we were entering hibernation together. But when I woke up, I found that someone had taken away Yin Ruo’s body. I still couldn’t find it until today. Perhaps, it has been destroyed a thousand years ago.”
All cultivators kept their spiritual power in their Saint Hearts.
Yin Ruo was only a Saint Soul, yet she was as powerful as a 50-order spiritual-power Saint King. If her physical body were still here, how powerful her spiritual power would be when her Saint Heart awakened?
As Zhang Ruochen knew very little about Jiang Yunchong, he could not say he trusted him.
But after the last battle where Jiang Yunchong had risked his life to protect Eastern Region Holy City, he would not believe that Jiang Yunchong was a foreign cultivator.
There was still a question in Zhang Ruochen’s mind. “Who is that mysterious seller of the Demonic Blood Ax Engraving?”
“His name is Xia Wenxin, but I know nothing about his background.”
Jiang Yunchong continued. “Two days ago, he brought along the Demonic Blood Ax Engraving to the Tianjue Pavilion, asking us to auction it for him. At the time, I got intel of Mr. G.o.dcliff, Xie Canghai, and others wanting to destroy Eastern Region palace and wrest control of Eastern Region Holy City.”
“So I made a deal with him, using him to counter Xie Canghai.”
“He knew he was being used but still agreed to the deal. All that man cares about is profit and result and doesn’t give a s.h.i.+t about the means.”
“One thing is sure, though, is that he is not a Kunlun Realm cultivator.”
“Why are you so sure?” asked Zhang Ruochen.
“How could a Kunlun Realm cultivator sell the Demonstone Engraving, one of the six great books? It will surely earn the wrath of all Kunlun Realm cultivators,” said Jiang Yunchong.
“Didn’t you say all he cared about was profit and result? Would he care about what people say?”
“Err…”
Jiang Yunchong was struck dumb, putting his fingers to his chin.
