Chapter 2544 - A Serious Issue to Discuss

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Just as Zhang Ruochen was thinking about how he should answer, a hoarse but loud voice suddenly rang out from outside the demon palace. “The Scioness of the Fane of Destiny, Pan Ruo, has arrived!”

Everyone’s eyes turned in the direction of the gate.

The new Scioness had a graceful appearance and an elegant temperament. Although her cultivation was not high, she was shrouded in a mysterious light. Even a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint could not see her clearly.

It was the power of the twelve Reverends that turned into a protective divine glow.

She came with a man in black who was almost in a state of oblivion. Only the Supreme Saint could sense his existence, and only the Supreme Saint above the Thousand-Koan Realm could see his figure.

He was the most mysterious figure of this generation in the Fane of Destiny, Que.

Pan Ruo and Que took their seats after paying their respects to Yan Yu and the Emperor of the Terra Demons.

The two of them happened to sit opposite Zhang Ruochen and Yan Yu.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet and strange.

Yan Yu was calm and composed. He reminded Zhang Ruochen in a low voice, “Ruochen, you still haven’t answered my question.”

Zhang Ruochen looked away and poured a cup of wine. He said, “Lady Zhexian is a great woman.”

“Is that all?” Yan Yu asked.

Zhang Ruochen said, “I don’t have much contact with Lord Zhexian, so I don’t dare to comment rashly. These are my words from the bottom of my heart!”

Yan Zhexian showed a disapproving look in his eyes. The so-called true nature could be both a strength and a weakness.

Was this a compliment or an insult?

Yan Yu thought for a moment and poured the cup full. He smiled and said, “A true woman may be at a disadvantage when fighting with her enemies, but being a friend and a wife is the best choice.”

Wasn’t that clear enough?

Zhang Ruochen just drank with a smile and didn’t dare to answer.

Yan Yu continued, “Since we haven’t had much contact, we should get to know each other more in the future. We can talk about our experiences in cultivating and go sightseeing.”

“Of course, of course,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Yan Yu was quite satisfied with Zhang Ruochen’s answer.

If Zhang Ruochen answered Yan Zhexian’s beauty and talent, Yan Yu would be displeased.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Other cultivators could praise a woman based on her beauty, but Zhang Ruochen could not because of his reputation. Saying such words was no different from a pervert.

Other cultivators could praise Yan Zhexian’s talent, but Zhang Ruochen could not because Zhang Ruochen’s talent was there. It would be hypocritical for him to say such words.

Zhang Ruochen understood Yan Yu’s intentions, so he didn’t dare to praise Yan Zhexian or insult her. His “sincere” answer fit the answer Yan Yu wanted.

Yan Yu was a little disappointed. “Xian’er’s father is my elder brother. He’s more talented than me and has the chance to be a Yuanhui-level genius. Unfortunately… sigh…”

“Don’t be sad, Uncle Yu. The road of cultivation is full of dangers. We cultivators should be mentally prepared to die at any time.”

Zhang Ruochen had checked Yan Zhexian’s information and knew that Yan Zhexian’s father, Yan Yucheng, the leader of the Yans’ Five Handsomes, had encountered an enemy of the divinity 100 years ago. He was forced to break into the divinity in a battle, but he was defeated. His body and soul were destroyed.

Of course, the divinity was also suppressed by the ancient god of the Yanluo clan, who had rushed over. He was still locked up in the Yanluo clan and tortured in a purgatory.

To intimidate the world, the clansman of the divinity was also killed.

First, there was the Scion Yu Qiu of the Fane of Destiny, and then there was Yan Yucheng. On the path of cultivating divinity, everyone had to tread on thin ice and be careful.

Yan Yu regained his composure and said, “Ruochen, Uncle Yu also has a heartfelt statement. A tree in the forest is full of danger. You are actually in more danger than my elder brother.”

How could Zhang Ruochen not know?

Yan Yucheng had a strong background, but he still died tragically.

Zhang Ruochen was more talented than Yan Yucheng, but his background was not as powerful. One could imagine how dangerous the road ahead would be.

Yan Yu had already hinted that although Yan Yucheng was dead, the god who had forced him to death had paid a heavy price. How could the god who dared to attack the chosen one of the Yanluo clan not be scared?

Yan Zhexian was the only daughter of Yan Yucheng. If Zhang Ruochen married her, this deterrent force would protect Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Uncle Yu, I understand what you mean, but I’m not the only one in charge of this matter.”

Yan Yu patted Zhang Ruochen’s shoulder and smiled elegantly. “Your words are enough. If you have the heart, take the initiative and cultivate more feelings. Uncle Yu won’t force you if you can’t get together.”

What Zhang Ruochen needed was the support and deterrence of the Yanluo clan,

The Yanluo clan wanted Yan Zhexian to marry Zhang Ruochen. First, everyone knew that Yan Zhexian was pregnant with Zhang Ruochen’s child. How would the Yanluo clan face themselves if they couldn’t get together? Where was Yan Zhexian’s reputation?

Second, Zhang Ruochen had shown his brilliance. His future achievements were limitless.

Third, the Xue Jue Family was on the verge of prosperity. Wargod Bloodximius had already become famous. Lord Ming and the Blood Empress were potential gods rarely seen in the Yuanhui period. Marrying Zhang Ruochen was the same as roping in the entire Xue Jue Family.

This was an investment that was hard to calculate!

However, the internal members of the Yanluo clan clearly valued Yan Zhexian’s feelings. Otherwise, they would have already made a decision for her. Yan Yu wouldn’t have had to come out personally to tell Zhang Ruochen so much.

Zhang Ruochen knew he didn’t have that kind of relationship with Yan Zhexian. At the same time, he also knew that the child in Yan Zhexian’s stomach had his bloodline. He didn’t hate Yan Zhexian. If they really got together, he could accept it.

But he couldn’t take the initiative.

It seemed that he had never taken the initiative to pursue a woman.

It was up to fate!

The banquet began.

Some demonic spirits put on exotic dance clothes and danced.

Saint Realm Maids from various clans played musical instruments from all realms.

…

The unhappiness from the fight with the Fane of Death has been swept away. Zhang Ruochen’s mind became empty. He didn’t think about anything anymore. He didn’t have any impurities. He was immersed in dance music.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Ruochen was a little drunk.

This wine was indeed the world-famous saint wine. It had a strong aftertaste. Even the Supreme Saint felt graceful after drinking. He wanted to get up and dance with the beautiful demons.

Of course, Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t lose his composure like this. However, Cang Jie had already rushed in, red-faced and drunk. He stopped a demon with one hand and kept laughing.

No cultivator laughed at him. It was normal for a Saint King to be unable to suppress the alcohol.

However, Sikong the Elder’s rush stunned many Supreme Saints.

How could a Buddhist bodhisattva lose his composure like this?

Zhang Ruochen quickly had Sikong the Younger drag him back.

The song ended!

The demonic spirit in the dance dress retreated and helped Cang Jie, drunk and unconscious, away.

Suddenly, Sikong the Elder stood up from his seat and chased after him. “Demon, take me with you if you have the ability.”

Sikong the Younger seemed to feel that his older brother was too embarrassed, so he hit him hard this time with the Palm of Six Desires. It landed on the back of his wrinkled head and knocked him unconscious. Only then did he stop.

Sikong the Younger dragged Sikong the Elder’s fat body back and said, “Uncle-master, senior brother is too greedy. I’m afraid he’s drunk in the secular world. What should we do?”

Zhang Ruochen forced himself to be embarrassed and said, “It doesn’t matter. This wine can improve a cultivator’s spiritual power and Saint Soul. It’s a good thing to let him go to the secular world!”

The Terra Demons’ emperor sat at the top and looked at Yan Yu. His lips moved slightly, and he said something.

Yan Yu glanced at Zhang Ruochen and seemed to have figured something out. He couldn’t help but shake his head and smile.

The emperor of the Terra Demons raised his voice. He said, “Today’s sacred banquet is to invite all distinguished guests and also to discuss a major matter. Second Young Master Yan, please tell us about this matter!”

Yan Yu sat cross-legged on the ground and didn’t get up. He said, “Everyone should know that the Light of Origin has appeared three times in the Royal City of Hundred Clans. The Power of Origin is very pure and dense. It seems that the Fane of Origin is about to appear.”

In the palace, all the Terra Demons Supreme Saints were shocked.

Before this, they did not know that the Fane of Origin was about to appear. Although they guessed that something big was about to happen in the Royal City of Hundred Clans, they did not expect the truth to be so shocking.

The Yanluo Clan wanted to borrow the power of the Terra Demons in the Royal City of Hundred Clans. Of course, they had to tell them the truth.

Yan Yu said again, “The place where the Light of Origin is coming from is the sacred ground of the Yakshas, the Night Ocean.”

Pan Ruo said, “Second master, if you have anything to say, just say it. It can’t be that you want to attack the Yakshas, right?”

“Of course not! The Yakshas are not an ordinary small clan that will never be destroyed. Now that the gods have gone to the Jadeite Realm, the Infernal Court can not lightly start a war on such a scale.”

Yan Yu continued, “There are quite a few forces that know that the Divine Crystal of Origin is about to be born, but they are all selfish and have never considered the issue from the perspective of the interests of the Infernal Court. Only the Yanluo Clan and the Fane of Destiny can be above these forces and do some things before the Fane of Origin is born.”

Pan Ruo said, “I understand! Second Master, do you mean to expel the cultivators of the Celestial Court first?”

“Not expel them, kill them all. The ten major dark forces can be eliminated together if the strength is sufficient.”Yan Yu’s eyes became sharp, like a sharp sword unsheathed from its sheath.

The emperor of the Terra Demons said, “After the appearance of the Light of Origin three times, the Celestial Court has indeed sent many cultivators to investigate the situation. If the Fane of Destiny orders all the clans to act together, we can find them.”

“However, the ten dark forces are more troublesome. They are deeply rooted at the edge of the Infernal Court and in the Royal City of Hundred Clans, making all the clans very fearful. Some of them even have the dark forces controlling them from behind.”

Yan Yu said, “In that case, let’s first investigate the cultivators of the Celestial Court. What do you think, Scioness?”

“I have no objections,” said Pan Ruo.

“Alright! Xuan Disha, you draft an imperial edict. Scioness and I will imprint the order representing the Yanluo Clan and the Fane of Destiny on it and pass it to the emperors of the various clans in the city, telling them to act according to the orders.” Yan Yu exuded the aura of a Demigod God; even the emperor of the Terra Demons called him by his name.

Then, Yan Yu asked, “How many sacred armies have the Fane of Destiny sent to the Royal City of Hundred Clans?”

Pan Ruo didn’t want to reveal too much. “Second master, don’t ask. No matter how strong the powerhouses of the Celestial Court are, the Fane of Destiny can crush them.”

The Yanluo Clan and the Fane of Destiny. One was the supreme clan, and the other could command the entire Infernal Court. The leaders of the two forces discussed important matters. Zhang Ruochen naturally didn’t say anything. He just drank.

After their discussion, Zhang Ruochen asked Yan Yu, “Is Claflin Dead?”

Zhang Ruochen wanted to ask about High-Saint Cairo, but he changed his mind.

Yan Yu didn’t overthink. He thought that Zhang Ruochen wanted revenge, “The Heavenly Realm sent five powerhouses to stir up trouble on Hoth. I killed two Demigods but let High-Saint Cairo and Claflin escape.”

Zhang Ruochen asked, “Where did they go?”

“They hid in the Royal City of Hundred Clans and entered the Wulvers’ sacred ground. If not for that, they wouldn’t have escaped,” Yan Yu said.

Zhang Ruochen asked, “Are the Wulvers controlled by the Heavenly Realm?”

Yan Yu shook his head, “It! In fact, the Wulvers had a deep enmity with the Heavenly Realm. They had almost been exterminated by the Fane of Light. There were many people on the Wulvers’ sacred ground. It was normal for a few of them to be controlled by the Heavenly Realm. However, it would be troublesome to investigate

“Since Uncle Yu knows this, why did you tell all the Supreme Saints of the Terra Demons about the coming of the Fane of Origin?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Yan Yu stared at Zhang Ruochen.

The two looked at each other and then smiled at the same time.

Suddenly, Yan Yu asked, “How did Fei Zhong die?”

The smile on Zhang Ruochen’s face froze slightly.

Yan Yu smiled and said, “Don’t be so nervous. I didn’t suspect anything. I was just curious. Fei Zhong’s puppet appeared on you. You should know how he died.”

“Ji Fanxin killed him,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Hearing this, Sikong the Younger, who was sitting next to him, trembled. His eyes widened. He told himself to stay calm and not let his Uncle-master see through him.

He seemed to have realized that his reaction was too intense. He put his hands together and shouted, “You deserve to die!”

Yan Yu only glanced at Sikong the Younger. He looked away and said, “Did she erase the memories of Yan Huangtu and Xian’er’s memories?”

Zhang Ruochen knew that it would be difficult to hide from someone like Yan Yu, so he nodded and said with difficulty, “If I don’t erase their memories, they will die. That’s all I can do.”

“Ji Fanxin’s cultivation is strong. How could he compromise so easily? Ruochen must have paid a great price to save them, right?” Yan Yu kept staring at Zhang Ruochen’s eyes.

“It’s not worth mentioning. After all, Lady Zhexian is pregnant with my child. How could I watch her be killed?” Zhang Ruochen said.

“I’ll tell Xian’er.”

Yan Yu smiled and didn’t ask any more questions.

As for how much he believed Zhang Ruochen’s words.

Then, Xuan Zehai came to talk to Zhang Ruochen, hoping he could stay in the Terra Demons as a guest. Zhang Ruochen didn’t refuse. After all, Peach Blossom was in the city. Who knew when it would come out and give him a fatal blow?

It was relatively safer on the sacred ground of a clan.

After the banquet ended, Zhang Ruochen brought Sikong the Younger, who was carrying Sikong the Elder, and the five powerhouses of the Fane of Death. Que’s voice came from behind as they walked out of the demon palace. “Zhang Ruochen, can we talk?”
