Chapter 2534: Zhang Ruochen Owed the Fane of Destiny a Favor

“Now that things are clear, Ji Fanxin killed Lu Baitou and Shan Qiu. The Fane of Death and the Fane of Barasingha should stop investigating!”

Pan Ruo announced the result on behalf of the Fane of Destiny.

Before that, Zhang Ruochen told the whole story in detail. However, he changed Bai Qing’er to Ji Fanxin.

He had no choice. Bai Qing’er and he knew each other’s secrets, so he could only let Ji Fanxin take the blame first.

The various forces were holding each other back. This was a major issue. The best course of action was to reduce it to a small one.

Yuan Qianmo obviously couldn’t accept this result. He was about to speak.

Pan Ruo stared at him first. “Why did the god of Fane of Death stop Ji Fanxin? Does Master Qianmo know about this?”

Hearing this, Yuan Qianmo finally understood why the Fane of Destiny had sided with Zhang Ruochen. They were dissatisfied with the Fane of Death’s actions.

Zhang Ruochen deliberately put this matter on the table. He was clearly slapping the Fane of Death’s face.

He found Zhang Ruochen even more displeasing!

Yuan Qianmo still smiled elegantly and shook his head gently. “How would a saint realm cultivator like me know about the matter of the gods? I will immediately send a message back to the fane to confirm whether Mo Yunduan had really come to this star field on his own.”

“On his own” sounded quite serious.

Everyone present wasn’t stupid. They all knew what the Fane of Death’s intentions were.

Despite their dissatisfaction with Yuan Qianmo’s current cultivation level, none of them exploded.

Yuan Qianmo took the initiative to change the topic and said, “Zhang Ruochen, since you didn’t die under the Arrow of Deva Path, can you continue saying what you didn’t finish the other day at the House of Enchanteurs?”

At the House of Enchanteurs, Zhang Ruochen was about to tell Bai Qing’er’s secret and fight to the death with her when he was shot by an Arrow of Deva Path. Then, the entire Enchanton was destroyed by the Heavenly Retribution Talisman.

It was completely different from the current situation.

Now, Zhang Ruochen had something on Bai Qing’er, and he wanted to help her cover up the truth.

Ling, the fifth son of the Ghost Master, the Lord of the Dishastan, said, “Can you give us a precise explanation about the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin?”

When they heard the words superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin, the powerhouses of the major forces became enraged and locked their gaze on Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen was calm and collected. He spread his hands and said, “What is there to explain? I saw Bai Qing’er kill the Seven-Armed Elder and Xing Qian in the Divine Domain of Destiny. Moreover, my cultivation is low, so I can’t be sure if Bai Qing’er is a disguise of another cultivator. Other than that, I don’t know anything else.”

Of course, no one believed his words.

Immediately, several Supreme Saints released their Saint might to threaten Zhang Ruochen.

“What are you doing? Do you want to fight?”

Madam Nixuan sat in the hazy saint light. Only Supreme Saints and people with spiritual power over level 67 could see her face clearly.

Her words stunned the Supreme Saints and forced them to withdraw their Saint might.

Madam Nixuan continued, “Zhang Ruochen has already said that he doesn’t know. Do you want to suppress him and forcibly search his soul for his memory? Are the disciples of the Xue Jue family that easy to bully?”

Zhang Ruochen glanced at Madam Nixuan, feeling even more strange.

A Supreme Saint from the Nether Clan apologetically laughed. “The superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin is precious. We just hope you can explain things more clearly.”

“Zhang Ruochen is only a Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saint. What makes you think that he has the power to steal the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin? If you want to frame and kill him, don’t use such underhanded methods,” Madam Nixuan said.

Beside Lan Ying, a powerhouse of the Paramount Realm from the Fane of Barasingha sneered. “Zhang Ruochen is traveling with Ji Fanxin and killing the cultivators of the Infernal Court. This should be true, right?”

“Didn’t he explain just now? He was controlled by Ji Fanxin and had to travel with her,” Madam Nixuan said.

Ling said, “That’s too much to say. But as far as I know, Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin had a good relationship in the Celestial Court. They were close friends.”

As everyone was arguing, a voice rang out, “Enough!” The voice roared. “There’s no harm in telling you. It was Zhang Ruochen who saved us from the battle between the Fane of Destiny and Ji Fanxin. Otherwise, the Fane of Destiny might have been wiped out.”

The person who spoke was the Supreme Saint of the Fane of Destiny, Lord Four-eyed.

He was one of the four Supreme Saints who had escaped from Bai Qing’er with Xing Luo.

The hall was completely silent.

Lord Four-eyed continued, “It is indeed embarrassing. I don’t want to say it, but this is the truth. Ji Fanxin is stronger than you think. This harmless Fairy of a Hundred Flowers could already be called a Paramount Realm Yuanhui-level genius. Zhang Ruochen is indebted to the Fane of Destiny!”

No one questioned Zhang Ruochen anymore.

It was not that they believed him, but the Xue Jue Family had Madam Nixuan and the Fane of Destiny supporting Zhang Ruochen. No matter how much they questioned him, they could not hurt him.

Then, the main hall began to discuss how to deal with Ji Fanxin.

What was Ji Fanxin’s next move?

How to rescue the Overseer and take back the Tensho Compass?

…

…

Half a day later.

Zhang Ruochen stood on a small asteroid and looked at the wormhole in the void in the distance. He was also thinking about Bai Qing’er’s next move.

She must have been seriously injured in the battle with Mo Yunduan.

She would have charged her way here and forced her way through if she hadn’t already.

The one who killed Lu Baitou and Shan Qiu and took Gong Nanfeng away must have been the spatial jade turtle beside her.

Someone was approaching Zhang Ruochen. “Is there any doubt that your Highness has come to find me alone?” he asked, quickly gathering his thoughts.

Xing Luo put his hands behind his back and walked to Zhang Ruochen’s left. He looked at the wormhole and smiled. “I’m here to thank you. And don’t call me Scion. I’m no longer one.”

Xing Luo wasn’t as arrogant as Yuan Qianmo, nor was he as cold and unreasonable as Zhuo Yunong. He was different from the top powerhouses of the Infernal Court.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t dislike him. “It’s rare for someone like you to say thank you. I thought the Infernal Court respected strength. The strong don’t look at weaklings like us.”

“In any place, strength is the most important thing. There is no equality in the world. There is a natural gap between the weak and the strong,” Xing Luo said.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Is that so?”

“If you didn’t have great talent and your identity as the guide of the Intergold Tiger, I wouldn’t be standing here and talking to you. This is the reality!” Xing Luo said.

Zhang Ruochen accepted all of this silently and said, “Well, at least you’re telling the truth.”

Suddenly, Xing Luo said, “I went to investigate Bai Qing’er and found some interesting things. Do you want to know?”

“I don’t want to know.”

Zhang Ruochen turned around and left.

Xing Luo looked surprised. He chased after him and asked, “Why?”

“My attainment in cultivation is still too low. I don’t want to know the secrets between powerful people at your level. Even if I knew, it wouldn’t do me any good,” Zhang Ruochen said.

“Kai Luo and Claflin, who shot you with the Arrow of Deva Path, sneaked into Hoth through the Enchanteur Chamber,” Xing Luo said. “Bai Qing’er is missing! I ran into you, Gong Nanfeng, and Ji Fanxin in the starry sky because I was chasing after her.”

Xing Luo had suspected that Ji Fanxin was Bai Qing’er.

However, he later refuted this conjecture.

Firstly, Zhang Ruochen grieved against Bai Qing’er and was close to Ji Fanxin. If Ji Fanxin was Bai Qing’er, how could Zhang Ruochen not see through her? How could he not reveal her true identity?

Secondly, Bai Qing’er had no reason to kill openly in the Infernal Court.

Thirdly, he did not believe that a woman from the House of Enchanteurs would dare to do such a crazy and bold thing.

“High-Saint Kai Luo came to Hoth?” Zhang Ruochen asked with a cold expression.

The last doubt in Xing Luo’s heart disappeared. If Bai Qing’er was Ji Fanxin, Zhang Ruochen’s first reaction would more or less expose some flaws.

Xing Luo smiled. “Why do you care about him?”

“I have an irreconcilable feud with the Heavenly Realm,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Xing Luo had obviously checked Zhang Ruochen’s information. He nodded in understanding, “It’s the Demigod Yan Yu. He saw a group of Heavenly Realm cultivators led by Kai Luo and Claflin appear in the Enchanton on Hoth,” he said. “Whether it’s the theft of the Tensho Compass or the loss of the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin, the Enchanteur Chamber is suspicious. That’s why, between you and Bai Qing’er, I suspect that she’s lying.”

Zhang Ruochen did not expect that Xing Luo would be so vigilant and take the initiative to investigate Bai Qing’er. He said, “Why are you so suspicious? With the power of the Fane of Destiny, we can just destroy the Enchanteur Chamber.”

“It’s not that simple.”

Xing Luo shook his head and smiled. “The forces behind the Enchanteur Chamber are complicated. They even have a backer in the Fane of Destiny. How can we destroy them just because High-Saint Kai Luo and the others sneaked into Hoth? Unless we can prove that the Heavenly Realm controlled the Enchanteur Chamber and used their power to steal the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin and the Tensho Compass.”

Zhang Ruochen sighed in his heart. ‘Xing Luo was smart enough, but his imagination was still not bold enough. He still did not understand how powerful Bai Qing’er was.

‘Controlled by the Heavenly Realm?

‘Perhaps all the cultivators of the Heavenly Realm were played by Bai Qing’er.’

Thinking of this, Zhang Ruochen could not help but feel sad. He was also controlled by Bai Qing’er and had to help her cover up the truth.

After learning more about Bai Qing’er, Zhang Ruochen did not particularly want to kill her. However, his desire to defeat her grew stronger and stronger.

One day, if he could defeat her with his true strength, she would say, “Supreme Saint Ruochen, I have lost. I am completely convinced by my defeat. You are the number one person in the Yuanhui period. You are the superior that I admire the most. Neither Wargod Bloodximius nor Magnogod Huang Tian can make me admire you so much.”

This was the true joy of life!

Apart from Chi Yao, very few people could arouse Zhang Ruochen’s strong desire to win.

Zhang Ruochen asked, “Where are High-Saint Kai Luo and the others now?”

Xing Luo pointed to the wormhole in the distance and said, “They escaped to the Royal City of Hundred Clans through this wormhole. Yan Yu and Zhuo Yunong have already gone after them.”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes became more profound.

High-Saint Kai Luo was Zhou Zhen’s Uncle Master, the Hand of the World that destroyed the Celestial Court’s Formation Sect.

Zhou Zhen had told Zhang Ruochen that the cultivator who planned to destroy the Ziwei Palace and collude with the Infernal Court to cut off the new heaven and earth spiritual root peach tree of Kunlun was High-Saint Kai Luo.

Of course, High-Saint Kai Luo could not be the planner. However, Zhou Zhen could only know this level with his cultivation.

If he wanted to find out the giant behind it and dig out the secret, he had to capture High-Saint Kai Luo.

This was a massive breakthrough for him to take revenge on the Heavenly Realm.

The crime of colluding with the Infernal Court was too big. It was enough to bring down the gods behind High-Saint Kai Luo. It might even bring down many gods. Thinking of this, Zhang Ruochen’s blood boiled.

…

Zhang Ruochen came to the bottom of the white deer carriage and bathed in the gentle sacred light.

Madam Nixuan’s voice in the carriage was quite young and very pleasant. She said, “You are only at the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm, but you can fight with Lan Ying at the peak of the Thousand-Koan Realm. Wargod Bloodximius did not misjudge you.”

“Why are you helping me?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Madam Nixuan smiled and said, “Because you are a disciple of the Xue Jue family.”

“I don’t want to hear such lies,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Madam Nixuan’s tone became serious, “Because you are valued by Wargod Bloodximius. He sees you as the future of the Xue Jue Family. If the world changes and something happens to him, you, your mother, and Lord Ming can still support the Xue Jue Family.”

“If we lose you, we will also lose your mother. The Xue Jue Family can not bear such a blow.”

“Moreover, Wargod Bloodximius really likes you. He dotes on you more than any of his sons. He has great expectations for your future. He thinks you can make up for the lack in his heart and do what he didn’t do back then.”

“In the Xue Jue Family, Wargod Bloodximius is the heaven and the only belief. If I go against his will, do you think I have a place in the Xue Jue Family?”

Zhang Ruochen believed Madam Nixuan’s words and smiled. “So, you are doing this to resolve the conflict with my mother?”

Zhang Ruochen and Madam Nixuan did not have a direct conflict or hatred. The conflict originated between the Blood Empress and Madam Nixuan.

Madam Nixuan said, “You are brilliant. I won’t beat around the bush. You are the best person to resolve the conflict between us. I did let your mother down in the past. I have apologized to your mother and Lord Ming in front of Wargod Bloodximius. I willingly gave up all my rights. My son also went to the Battlefield of Merits.”

“Have you really given up all your rights?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Madam Nixuan signed. “You mean Hoth?”

“The head of the family has announced that all the properties of Hoth now belong to me. If you hand over the properties of Hoth, I can consider persuading my mother,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Madam Nixuan said, “I can not hand them over to you.”

“Why?”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t understand. With Madam Nixuan’s attainments in cultivation, she was only one step away from divinity. Why did she have to take the little wealth on Hoth?

Madam Nixuan said, “Qingsheng can’t see your purpose in wanting the property of Hoth, but you can’t hide it from me. You’re leaving a way out for yourself to escape the Infernal Court and return to Kunlun, right? I’m sorry, Wargod Bloodximius doesn’t want you to leave. So, I can’t give you the property. Instead, I will keep an eye on you and cut off all your ties with Kunlun.”
