On the fifth day.
The Saint Lady received a signal flare. She clenched it in her hand and read the message on it.
Whoosh!
The holy light spread from Huang Yanchenâs body. She asked, âWho sent you the signal flare?â
The Saint Lady didnât try to hide it. âZhang Ruochen.â
Martial Saint Canglan who was standing in front of the Saint Lady said, âCountless heavenly kings in the imperial government want to kill him, yet he still dares contact you? You guys have a deep bond.â
The Saint Lady didnât argue back. Instead, she said, âHe asked me for a favor.â
âHe would ask others for a favor?â
Huang Yanchen and Martial Saint Canglan almost said it at the same time, but they didnât ask the Saint Lady what Zhang Ruochen was asking for.
The atmosphere in Saint Palace Yuanchu became slightly awkward.
Huang Yanchen and Martial Saint Canglan had all kinds of assumptions in their minds, but they vetoed them all.
The Saint Lady said, âHe said he doesnât want to hurt the ordinary people. Kunlunâs Field is the world of trillions of people, not the world for First Central Empire.â
Martian Saint Canglan smiled. âYou guys share almost the same ideology. No wonder he asked you instead of me.â
Huang Yanchen said, âThe saints in Kunlunâs Field shouldâve arrived at Peakless Mountain already. Letâs head there as well.â
...
On the sixth day.
The headquarters of Demonic Sect, Saint Wood Mountain.
Mu Lingxi was detained in a palace made of iron on Saint Wood Mountain. She wasnât allowed to be in contact with the outside world, nor was anyone allowed in.
Huang Yanchen came to the iron palace, accompanied by the saint leader of Muâs family and Yun Zheng.
âTomorrow is the seventh day, and Qiu Yu of the Fire Tribe will come marry Lingxi. We donât allow anyone else to visit her, but youâre the senior sister of Lingxi. Youâre an exception,â Yun Zheng said.
Huang Yanchen nodded, looking at the bizarre building that was perfectly sealed.
Squeak!
Huang Yanchen opened the door, leaving a long shadow on the ground.
Huang Yanchen saw Mu Lingxi after she walked in. She was sitting on the floor, and her eyes were glazing over. Her hair was messy, and she was covered with mud. She looked completely different from the childish but lovely junior sister Duanmu.
âWhat happened? How could your dad and Mu family treat you like this?â
Huang Yanchen couldnât be more heartbroken. She immediately walked toward her.
âStay away from me.â
Mu Lingxi immediately distanced herself from Huang Yanchen.
Huang Yanchen teared up and said, âLingxi, itâs me, your sister Chen.â
âI know youâre Huang Yanchen, but why...why did you do that to him? People change. What do you want to do to me?â Mu Lingxi asked cautiously.
Huang Yanchen kept shaking her head, speechless.
Mu Lingxi said, âDo you know what I regret the most? I shouldnât have changed the brands of âHuang Number Oneâ and âDi Number Oneâ when Zhang Ruochen entered Dragon Wu Palace, otherwise the bond between you guys wouldnât be that strong. Then you wouldnât have had the chance to hurt him that deeply.â
Mu Lingxi continued, saying, âYou know that heâll never hurt you. No wonder how much I love him and want to get with him, he can always control himself.â
Huang Yanchen closed her eyes, took a deep breath and said, âIâm destined to follow a different path from him, so only God knows whatâll happen in the future, but I know that he values you a lot, otherwise he wouldnât have told everyone his identity as the crown prince of Sacred Central Empire. Heâs coming to Peakless Mountain only to save you.â
âCrown prince of Sacred Central Empire? What do you mean?â
Mu Lingxi looked confused.
Huang Yanchen then said, âDonât you know heâs the crown prince of Sacred Central Empire?â
Mu Lingxi was a bit dazed and shook her head.
Huang Yanchen sighed. Obviously, Mu Lingxi had no idea what was going on outside her prison.
And then, Huang Yanchen told her about how Zhang Ruochen issued the crown prince edict and conquered Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion, and then, she said, âZhang Ruochen is definitely coming to Peakless Mountain tomorrow, but heâs going to be in grave danger. Unlike Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion, Peakless Mountain is guarded by a supreme saint, and I heard that thereâs a supreme saint in the Fire Tribe as well. Besides, thereâll be lots of great beings from the imperial government coming to Peakless Mountain. Once Zhang Ruochen shows himself, heâll be encircled.â
Mu Lingxi smiled and said, âAre you asking me to talk him out of it?â
Huang Yanchen said, âEven with the help of previous officials from the Sacred, he wonât be able to fight Moon Worship Demonic Sect, the Fire Tribe and the imperial government, and besides, many powers also stand with Qiu Yu. Only one person can persuade him not to do it and thus save his life.â
Mu LIngxi said, âSo you want me to talk him out of coming to Peakless Mountain?â
âThatâs right.â
Huang Yanchen stayed silent for a while, then she nodded.
âDo you really think heâs an idiot? Do you really think I can stop him from coming to Peakless Mountain? Nobody can change his mind once heâs determined.â
Mu Lingxi said, âActually, I find it an amazing thing to die together with Zhang Ruochen on Peakless Mountain. I donât want to submit to fate, and besides, I believe heâs someone who can create a miracle. Thereâs nothing he canât accomplish. If he dies on Peakless Mountain tomorrow, Iâll die with him. If he saves me, then Iâll follow him forever.â
âStupid. Nobody can fight fate. Everyoneâs been doing what he or she doesnât want to do since being born...â
Huang Yanchenâs voice got lower and lower. Eventually, she shook her head, stopped talking and walked out of the iron palace.
Huang Yanchen ran into the Saint Lady under Saint Wood Mountain.
âHow did it go? Did she say yes?â the Saint Lady asked.
Huang Yanchen shook her head.
The Saint Lady then said, âDid you tell her that you can take her away using the oracle of the Empress even if Zhang Ruochen doesnât come to Peakless Mountain tomorrow?â
âNo... It doesnât matter... Perhaps itâs great for Zhang Ruochen to have a girl who loves him wholeheartedly, otherwise heâll feel abject loneliness.â
Huang Yanchenâs lips were shivering and her eyes were glazing over as she said that.
âAre you okay?â the Saint Lady asked.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Huang Yanchen shook her head and said, âTell everyone from the imperial government that nobody is allowed to attack Zhang Ruochen tomorrow, otherwise, theyâre going against the oracle.â
âYouâre going to offend the entire imperial government doing that. Arenât you afraid the empress will punish you after she comes back?â the Saint Lady said.
âThatâs all I can do for them.â
Huang Yanchen walked forward, dazed.
The Saint Lady stared at Huang Yanchen walking away, then she said, âThey know itâs dangerous, yet they still chose to do it...â
...
Yunwu Commandery.
âMother, fourth brother and ninth sister, if you want to stay in Yunwu Commandery, I wonât force you to leave. I hope we can meet each other again in the future,â Zhang Ruochen said, looking at his dearest family.
âNinth brother, will you be in danger going to Peakless Mountain? Will you not be able to make it back this time?â Zhang Yuxi asked, concerned.
Zhang Shaochu said, âIâm not a coward. Even if I canât help with anything, Iâll still go to Peakless Mountain with you.â
With the promise of Moon Goddess, Zhang Ruochen wasnât afraid that heâd run into danger on Peakless Mountain.
Besides, he had promised Moon Goddess that heâd follow her to Heaven Field to help her with an issue.
Zhang Ruochen had no idea how far Heaven Field was from Kunlunâs Field, and he didnât know what kind of dangers he would run into helping a God.
Which was why Zhang Ruochen wasnât sure whether he could make it back to Kunlunâs Field.
Zhang Ruochen heard the voice of Moon Goddess. âBring the two elders who make wine and pills.â
This was the first time Moon Goddess had initiated a conversation with Zhang Ruochen, which astounded Zhang Ruochen. Why does a God value Gu Songzi and the Crazy Alcoholic that much?
Zhang Ruochen was confused.
He then heard Moon Goddessâs voice again. âDo you want to know what kind of a place Heaven World is?â
âOf course,â Zhang Ruochen said.
âHeaven World is called Saint World, and it was built to fight against Hell World. You need to at least be a half saint to refine there. However, when a half saint enters Heaven World, he can only wield a power thatâs slightly stronger than an ordinary person. Six Saints to Heaven Wine and Saint Pills can play a great role there,â Moon Goddess said.
Zhang Ruochen asked, âA half saint is already strong enough to refine in Heaven World? Thereâre countless half saints in Kunlunâs Field; why canât they go refine in Heaven World?â
Moon Goddess said, âThe universe is enormous, and thereâre thousands of worlds thatâre just as powerful as Kunlunâs Field. Even Gods have no idea where the edge of the universe is. A world is only qualified to negotiate with the Gods in Heaven World after a Godâs born, after which itâll become a subsidiary world of Heaven World and build the saint path from Heaven World to subsidiary worlds. Then the half saints, saints, saint kings and supreme saints will be qualified to refine in Heaven World.
âAfter becoming a subsidiary of Heaven World, that world will be penetrated by Hell World, but Heaven World will defend it. Also, itâs not a good idea just to depend on Heaven World all the time. Instead, you need to be strong. Otherwise youâll be annihilated anyway.â
Zhang Ruochen was shocked. âA hundred thousand years ago, there were several Gods in Kunlunâs Field. Wasnât Kunlunâs Field a subsidiary world of Heaven World?â
âKunlunâs Field used to be powerful, indeed, and it was ranked high on âTen Thousand Worlds Merit Rank.â Unfortunately... No matter. Thereâs something youâd better not know. After the Gods of Kunlunâs Field died, it was abandoned by Heaven World.
âI donât know whether your empress can survive negotiating with Gods in Heaven World or not. If she can, the saint road from Kunlunâs Field to Heaven World will be built again, then Kunlunâs Field thatâs already doomed might still stand a chance.â
