Chapter 1196 - Senior And Junior Brother Meeting

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Yao Ji was sure that this wasn’t a friend that had gone through life-or-death experiences together. Instead, he was unfriendly and may be a great enemy.

Three white fox tails flew out instantly. Like three white waterfalls, they passed through the room and hit the young figure standing below.

The three tails quickly tangled up, forming a murderous aura. Affected by the force, mysterious defensive runes appeared on the walls, pillars, and glass tiles in the building. They looked like thousands of chains of light.

The young man hummed softly.

Whoosh!

The Blood Qi surrounding him spun quickly, forming an expanding vortex.

The three fox tails crashed against the vortex of Blood Qi and ricocheted with a powerful force. Many white strands of hair fell off.

Yao Ji felt extreme pain from her tail. She shook her perky butt and bit her red lips. Leaving her seat, she charged into the vortex of Blood Qi, pointing forward.

Her finger seemed to be made from jade. It was slender and snowy white.

Sizzle.

Her finger carried extremely advanced Saintly Way power. Rings of fire formed around it, connecting into a long trial that stretched to the young man’s forehead.

It pierced through the Blood Qi. Yao Ji finally saw the man’s features clearly. It was Zhang Ruochen, the Time and Space Descendant.

“It’s him...”

Yao Ji had fought Zhang Ruochen once before. She’d wanted to take his treasure, so she immediately guessed that Zhang Ruochen was here for revenge.

Zhang Ruochen smiled nonchalantly. He slammed forward with his right hand, attacking first and hitting Yao Ji’s chest.

Thud!

All of Yao Ji’s Holy Qi was scattered. She flew backward.

Zhang Ruochen’s physical body had already become a Saint. Even without using Holy Qi, his palm was still impossible to bear for a lower Saint like Yao Ji.

Zhang Ruochen’s hand pressed on Yao Ji’s chest and flew out with her. He slammed her onto the palace’s steps with a loud boom.

“Ah!”

Yao Ji spat out fresh blood. The steps below her caved in, fissures snaking out. Suffering from Zhang Ruochen’s palm, she couldn’t stand back up.

Zhang Ruochen collected his power. Walking up the steps, he moved to the uppermost seat of the palace. He sat down and said, “Long time no see. Sect Leader Yao, you haven’t improved at all.”

Yao Ji climbed up from the ground. She supported herself with her hands. Like a beautiful fox, she looked up at Zhang Ruochen in both shock and anger. “Zhang Ruochen, what do you want?”

Zhang Ruochen’s earlier power had been so strong that Yao Ji felt suffocated. How long had it been? Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation could not completely defeat her.

“Do you think I’m strong enough to destroy Tianluo Sect now?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Yao Ji’s heart skipped a beat. Hurriedly putting away her anger, she lowered her stance. “What happened before was indeed my mistake. I shouldn’t have greedily attacked you. I apologize. Zhang Ruochen, you are a powerful man who will rule the world in the future. Please let a small sect like us go.”

Zhang Ruochen glanced at Yao Ji. His lips curled up. “Do you think I’ll forgive you just because you apologized?”

“What do you want?” Yao Ji asked. “You can take any treasure from Tianluo Sect if it meets your standards.”

Yao Ji was forced to bow down before an absolute power. If giving some treasures could resolve their conflict, it would be best.

Zhang Ruochen had a whole world and the Blue Dragon Dynasty’s national treasury. He possessed extremely rich resources. He really didn’t care for Tianluo Sect’s treasures.

Tapping on the table, he smiled and said, “What if I want you, Sect Leader?”

Yao Ji froze. Immediately after, a gentle smile appeared on her foxy face. Swaying her slender hips, she walked gracefully toward Zhang Ruochen. “It is my honor,” she said gently, “for the renowned Time and Space Descendant to notice a commoner like me.”

Yao Ji had cultivated for more than 300 years now, but she was still a lower Saint. It was possible that she’d never reach a higher state in her life.

It was different for Zhang Ruochen though. He’d already become a Saint at his young age. He’d risen up rapidly and had boundless potential. If Yao Ji could really become his woman, it would be a great opportunity for her.

“Sect Leader Yao, you’ve misunderstood me!” Zhang Ruochen’s voice was cold. “I’m not interested in your body. I do need you to help me do something though. If you can complete it obediently, our past conflicts will be resolved.”

Yao Ji had no change in expression nor did she feel awkward. “What is it?” she asked.

Zhang Ruochen quickly told her about the strong figures of the Huangtian Tribe hiding in the Black Market’s headquarters.

Hearing this, Yao Ji’s expression grew serious. “Actually, the Shopkeeper told us a while ago that a large portion of the Huangtian Tribe is hurrying toward Tiantai State. He wants us to pay attention and report to him as soon as there is information.”

Zhang Ruochen knew that the so-called Shopkeeper was the leader of the Black Market in Tiantai. He was the top figure here. All the leaders of the Evil Way sects in Tiantai State had to listen to him.

You could say that he was the number one figure of the Evil Way in Tiantai State.

“What is the Black Market’s attitude toward the Immortal Vampires?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Yao Ji pointed up and said, “I heard that the uppermost level of the Black Market, the evil emperor in Huanyu Sky, ordered that all Immortal Vampires must be killed.”

Huanyu Sky was a sacred place of the Black Market. Other than Saints of the Evil Way, no one knew where it was.

Clearly, the evil emperor of Huanyu Sky wasn’t the same one as 800 years ago.

Zhang Ruochen nodded. “Go! Go send the message to the Shopkeeper. I’d like to see what he will do next.”

After Yao Ji left, Zhang Ruochen didn’t stay in Tianluo Sect either. He left as well.

Basically, Zhang Ruochen was still worried about Yao Ji. What if she leaked information about him and led a group of Saints to defeat him?

Zhang Ruochen had to be careful.

Walking out of Tianluo Sect, he received a communication rune. Reading the content, he smiled. “Second Senior Brother is indeed fast. He’s already at Tiantai State.”

He ordered a room in an inn near Tianluo Sect. Then he sent a message to Second Senior Brother, telling him the location.

Zhu Hongtao, second disciple of Sword Saint Xuanji, was 14 feet tall. He had a chubby face and an extremely wide girth. Wearing red pants and a green shirt, he waddled into the inn with his round belly hanging.

Wan Ke, third disciple of Sword Saint Xuanji, walked beside Zhu Hongtao. He seemed to be around 30 years old. He had a hairless face and sophisticated bearing. He smiled modestly at all times.

Thankfully, Wan Ke was beside Zhu Hongtao. Otherwise, the latter’s fierce features would scare away even Evil Way cultivators.

The three brothers finally met. Zhu Hongtao and Wan Ke were extremely excited to see Zhang Ruochen.

“Sixth Junior Brother, you’re still alive. How come you didn’t come to find me all these years? When I received your message and saw that you’re in trouble, Third Junior Brother and I hurried over to Tiantai State without stopping.”

Zhu Hongtao looked angry, but he cared deeply about friends.

Wan Ke was still composed. Smiling, he said, “Sixth Junior Brother, I’ve heard about everything you’ve done. Other than Master, you’re the one I appreciate the most now.”

“Yes,” Zhu Hongtao said. “I heard that you went to the netherworld to find the Pill of Reincarnation to bring Master back to life. We should’ve all gone together. How could you risk it by yourself?” he complained.

Wan Ke continued, “In the Blue Dragon Void World, you terrified the savage beasts and Immortal Vampires. According to the students of the Eastern Saint Academy, the beasts and Vampires all have to hide when you pass. No one dares to compete with you. If I hadn’t reached the Saint Realm, I probably would’ve fought alongside you in the Void World.”

“I heard that many humans owe you from the Blue Dragon Void World. They are so impressed and see you as the top figure of the next generation. Many younger cultivators worship you and want to learn from you.”

...

Zhu Hongtao and Wan Ke were both excited. They were proud to be Zhang Ruochen’s senior brothers. Every time other cultivators mentioned Zhang Ruochen’s name or said that he’d done another amazing thing, Zhu Hongtao and Wan Ke would immediately say, “He’s our junior brother.”

Zhang Ruochen knew that they were expressive. He was a bit embarrassed by their praises. Chuckling, he said, “We’ve finally reunited. Let’s sit down to talk!”

After that, the trio talked about many things. They discussed how Feng Han had poisoned Sword Saint Xuanji, causing him to die.

“So hateful! I always thought that Master was stronger than Sword Saint Jiuyou. How could he lose and die? I can’t believe it’s because of that traitor.”

“Now, the swordsmen in the east all think that Sword Saint Jiuyou is the top Sword Saint. They’re all going to Jiuyou City to study.”

“The disciples of Sword Saint Jiuyou are the worst. They always insult Master and praise Sword Saint Jiuyou. I must publicize the truth and let them know that the top Sword Saint of the eastern region is Xuanji, not Jiuyou.”

Zhu Hongtao was furious. With anger burning inside, he slammed his fist down on the table, shattering it with a boom. “Even if Feng Han is dead, I will make the Vampires pay,” he uttered. “I will go to the northern battlefields now. I will not return until I kill ten Immortal Vampire Saints.”

“Why go to the north to kill Immortal Vampires?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
