Chapter 1880 - The Nine-Eyes Heavenly King (1/2)

Murong Yefeng said, “If we are going to Lord Ming’s Sword Temple, then we need to rescue one person.”

“Who?”

Murong Yefeng said, “Warlord Bao Lie.”

“Brother Bao Lie… he’s still alive?”

Zhang Ruochen was both shocked and eager.

Bao Lie was the third disciple of Emperor Ming and was a Warlord of the Shengming Central Empire.

Eight hundred years ago, Bao Lie’s cultivation had already reached the realm of Saint King.

Zhang Ruochen had looked up the historical data eight hundred years ago, and the records said that Bao Lie and Princess Chi Yao each led armies of tens of millions, and started a protracted war at Mingguo County.

In the end, the Shengming army was defeated.

Bao Lie, who had the t.i.tle of Warlord, died in that war.

Murong Yefeng continued, “As far as I know, Warlord Bao Lie did not die but was imprisoned by Chi Yao in the Nether Dungeon inside Lord Ming’s Sword Vault. Of course, it had been eight hundred years, it’s hard to say whether Warlord Bao Lie is still alive or not.”

“In any case, we have to pay the dungeon a visit. If Senior Bao Lie is still alive, then we must save him. If he had perished, then we need to take his remains out, and give it a proper burial.” Zhang Ruochen said.

The Nether Dungeon had 18 levels, and since ancient times, the most vicious of humans and beasts would be captured and imprisoned within it.

Zhang Ruochen and his party left the Qianshui Royal City and went to the Eastern Region Holy City to meet up with Xiang Chunan, Murong Yue, and the rest.

During their stay at Luoshui, many great things had happened in Kunlun Realm.

There were World Rifts in five of the regions ruled by The First Central Empire.

A World Rift equated to a cruel battlefield, and was the gateway for the Infernal Court to invade Kunlun Realm, and was at the same time, the location where the Celestial Court established their defensive fortresses such as the G.o.dfall Cryptwoods in the Eastern Region, the Mountains of Immortal Promise in the Northern Region.

The World Rift in the Central Region was the Darkmourn Mountains.

Just two days ago, the armies of the Celestial and Infernal Court met in a fierce battle.

The Infernal Court broke through the defense fortress of the Celestial Court, and a large number of Immortal Vampires and Netherkin cultivators entered the Kunlun Realm.

Previously, it was only a smattering of Infernal Court cultivators that slipped through, like the Blood Wasp Ashuran King, Chang…, their ability to cause damage was limited and would be killed very quickly.

But this time around, there was a surge of Infernal Court cultivators, and the consequences were unimaginable.

It was bad news for all life on the Kunlun Realm, and also the cultivators of the Celestial Court.

Fortunately, the defensive fortress at the Darkmourn Mountains had been resealed by a large number of elites of the Celestial Court, and it did not completely fall. Or else, the entire Central Region would be plunged into a continuous war, and becoming a literal h.e.l.l on earth.

Zhang Ruochen realized the seriousness of the situation and said, “The Immortal Vampires entering the Kunlun Realm will certainly go and rescue Lord Ming. We need to rush to the Sword Vault.”

Just as they were about to set off, Murong Yefeng received a Communication Light Talisman, and his expression immediately changed as the air around turned chilly.

“What’s wrong?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Murong Yefeng said. “The Murong Clan came under attack by strong enemies. The initial inference is that the foe maybe the Angels.”

“Angels? Is the Heavenly Realm retaliating?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Murong Yefeng replied. “In the battle of the Eastern Region Holy City, the Heavenly Realm suffered grievous casualties, but there must have been some who had escaped. They must’ve identified me, so they are retaliated against the Murong Clan.”

“I’ll rush back to the Clan Manor now, and kill the foes from the Heavenly Realm.” Murong Yue said.

Murong Yefeng shook his head. “There are many elites in the Heavenly Realm. With your current cultivation, you may not be able to protect the Clan Manor. I need to personally rush back for that. Yue’er, stay with His Highness and protect him. There can be no slips.”

After Murong Yefeng left, Zhang Ruochen and his group also left the Eastern Region Holy City, and through a dimensional wormhole, they rushed as fast as possible to Lord Ming’s Sword Vault.

They were accompanied by Xiang Chunan, Murong Yue, and Luo Yi, who claimed to be a cultivator from the Shangyuan Sect.

As for this person, Zhang Ruochen still was somewhat wary, so he got Awesome the Little Taoist to keep an eye on him all the time.

Arriving in the Central Region, Zhang Ruochen received s.h.i.+ Ren who had been cultivating inside the Qiankun Realm.

s.h.i.+ Ren was the young chief of the ancient Zhenyu Clan and was Zhang Ruochen’s sworn friend.

In Qiankun Realm, s.h.i.+ Ren had been asking for advice and learning from the Divine Sky-connecting Tree and could be called a somewhat-disciple of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree. So be it his attainments in terms of spiritual power or the Path of Runes, all saw great progress.

After pa.s.sing through into a vast wilderness, Zhang Ruochen and his group entered the depths of a wild mountain.

Gradually, the mountain became grander and grander and was full of the Saint Qi of Heaven and Earth. Ancient rivers flowed rapidly in the mountains, kicking up mists, giving it a very mysterious atmosphere.
