God Emperor - Chapter 1029

Chapter 1029: 1029

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t a brash or impulsive man . It was just that the Canglong Army and Lingxiao Heavenly Mansion’s actions had utterly angered him .

That was why he’d already made up his mind to kill ten generals and take revenge for those who’d died .

No matter what happened, nothing could change this decision .

When Qin Yutong hurried to City 7, Zhang Ruochen was already strolling out of a majestic palace with Liao Huacheng’s head .

As the generals of the Canglong Army die one after another, it’ll get harder to kill more . I must kill at least one more before news of Liao Huacheng’s death spreads .

Even though he’d just killed a Ninth Level Half-Saint, Zhang Ruochen was still very calm . He looked at Qin Yutong with inquisitive eyes .

Qin Yutong could tell that Zhang Ruochen hadn’t lost his mind . “I indeed have information on where another general is . ”

“Who is it?” Zhang Ruochen asked .

“Qingyi Chan, Flying General of Hanshan,” Qin Yutong said . “She’s the only female general and, like Yan Honglie, in the later stages of the Ninth Level . However…her combat ability is much stronger than his . She’s third of the ten generals . ”

“If she’s in the same level as Yan Honglie but her combat ability is much higher, then she must have some powerful trump card, right?”

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t actually arrogant . Instead, he was extremely cautious .

He could kill Yan Honglie with one strike because he’d used the Eight Changes of Scale . He’d slowed down time and performed the fatal strike unexpectedly . His actual abilities were only a bit higher than Yan Honglie . This wasn’t an absolute advantage .

Now, rumors were spreading throughout the Sacred City that Time and Space Descendant Zhang Ruochen had killed three generals of the Canglong Army . The other generals would definitely be on guard .

It would be difficult for Zhang Ruochen to continue using the powers of time and space for sneak attacks . He’d been able to kill Liao Huachen just then mainly because Liao Huachen’s cultivation wasn’t that high . He was only in the beginning of the Ninth Level .

Zhang Ruochen had to be careful when facing opponents more powerful than Yan Honglie .

“Qingyi Chan has a Thousand-pattern Saint Weapon called the Ice Tripod,” Qin Yutong said . “It has strong defensive abilities and also horrifying attack strength . If she uses the Ice Tripod, she can easily defeat Yan Honglie . ”

“She has a Thousand-pattern Saint Weapon? It will be troublesome to kill her . ”

Zhang Ruochen grew thoughtful . Suddenly, alarms went off in him . He grabbed Qin Yutong’s wrist and pulled her into the Shooting Star Invisibility Cloak .

Whoosh!

Zhang Ruochen used the Spatial Move and brought Qin Yutong to a dark corner hundreds of feet away .

“Collect your aura,” Zhang Ruochen whispered in Qin Yutong’s ear . His eyes were serious .

Qin Yutong’s soft body pressed tightly against Zhang Ruochen . She could clearly feel the heat coming off of Zhang Ruochen and her heart quickened .

She was curious as to what had happened .

“Dammit . ”

A furious voice sounded, shaking the entire City 7 like thunder . The next moment, powerful saintly might swept out of the residence where Liao Huacheng had died .

Countless Monks in City 7 prostrated themselves on the ground in terror .

Qin Yutong felt immense pain in her back . It was like countless sharp needles stabbing into her . It wasn’t true pain though . It was a Saint’s mind scanning her .

She finally understood why Zhang Ruochen was so nervous . He’d sensed beforehand that a Saint was coming .

Qin Yutong immediately used a spell to suppress her aura to the minimum .

Tap, tap .

At that moment, soft footsteps came from hundreds of feet away, getting closer and closer to them .

Qin Yutong was extremely nervous . Her slender fingers subconsciously clutched Zhang Ruochen’s shoulders . If the Saint discovered them, they would be totally dead tonight .

“The remaining aura suddenly cut off,” a deep voice said in the distance . It felt cold and heartless . “The Time and Space Descendant’s tricks are indeed strange . Hmph!”

With that, the horrifying saintly might vanished .

The Saint had left .

Zhang Ruochen and Qin Yutong remained hiding inside the Shooting Star Invisibility Cloak . They didn’t walk out impulsively . They waited for an hour before cautiously leaving City 7 .

Zhang Ruochen didn’t release Qin Yutong from the Shooting Star Invisibility Cloak until he was sure they’d reached a safe spot .

Zhang Ruochen looked very calm and sure . He didn’t get distracting thoughts just because he’d had close interactions with a beautiful dancer .

Qin Yutong was wearing a veil, so her expression wasn’t visible . She just exhaled softly . “Judging by his voice, he’s the major general of the Canglong Army . ”

“You’ve seen him before,” Zhang Ruochen asked .

Qin Yutong nodded softly . “I once danced in the Lingxiao Heavenly Mansion and saw him,” she murmured . “I remember his voice . Lord, how did you sense beforehand that he was coming?”

Zhang Ruochen put his arms behind his back and flew to the top of a taller building . Looking down at the lights of the city below, he said, “A Saint’s cultivation is very strong, but they’re too strong to easily conceal themselves . ”

“For example, Empress Chi Yao’s cultivation is number one in the world . This is why news spread immediately as soon as she’d left the Central Emperor City . She can’t leave soundlessly like a regular Monk . ”

“Saints are the same . However, a Saint can’t be compared to the Empress . Their moves can’t cause as powerful ripples as her . They can also conceal their auras to a point . Only Monks stronger than them in Spiritual Power can sense their actions . ”

Qin Yutong was very intelligent and quickly understood what he was saying . “The Canglong Army’s major general isn’t as strong in Spiritual Power as you . That’s why you can sense his every movement . ”

“I can sense his actions within 100 miles,” Zhang Ruochen said . “Past that, my spiritual perception will weaken and I’ll only know his general direction . If I didn’t have the advantage of Spiritual Power, I wouldn’t dare to kill so much in the Sacred City . ”

Zhang Ruochen’s Spiritual Power was at the 48th level . He’d surpassed most Saints . Only Heavenly King Lingxiao could suppress his aura and successfully execute a sneak attack on Zhang Ruochen .

Otherwise, Zhang Ruochen would sense danger if a Saint was 100 miles away and immediately hide or escape .

Of course, with Heavenly King Lingxiao’s status, he wouldn’t go attack a Half-Saint junior no matter what .

Zhang Ruochen was the most worried about meeting a Spiritual Saint . They were very rare—less than one-tenth of the number of Martial Saints .

Plus, most Spiritual Saints belonged to the Inscription Guild and Confucius Way . They were true masters or Confucius Saints . They cared about their reputations and wouldn’t go attack a junior in the Half-Saint Realm .

This was why it wasn’t very possible for the Lingxiao Heavenly Mansion to ask a Spiritual Saint for help . Plus, they didn’t know who Zhang Ruochen’s next target was . Even if they could request a Spiritual Saint to help, it wasn’t likely for them to capture Zhang Ruochen .

Hearing Zhang Ruochen’s explanation, Qin Yutong finally understood and smiled gracefully . “With your tactics, the top ten generals of the Canglong Army won’t be able to live for long . ”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head . “It’s not that simple . The Lingxiao Heavenly Mansion may very well ask someone from the Half-Saint Rank or Outer Rank to fight me . Plus, the three strongest generals of the Canglong Army all have terrible abilities . They aren’t easy to deal with . ”

Compared to a Spiritual Saint, it was obviously easier to request help from someone from the Half-Saint Rank or Outer Rank . The Lingxiao Heavenly Mansion may very possibly choose that . Perhaps they’d already contacted one of those strong cultivators .

“What should we do next?” Qin Yutong asked .

Cold light flashed past Zhang Ruochen’s eyes . “I’ll go kill Qingyi Chan now, but I need your help . ”

Then Zhang Ruochen took out the Thousand-pattern Saint Weapon Life-Death Mirror . Handing it to Qin Yutong, he said, “Qingyi Chan will definitely be prepared . The Canglong Army and Lingxiao Heavenly Mansion probably set up some things too . I don’t know what dangers there’ll be . When needed, activate the Life-Death Mirror and Destruction of the Thousand Patterns to help me . ”

Qin Yutong took the Life-Death Mirror and only spent an hour to learn how to use it with ease . Then they used physical techniques to disappear into the night .

The Canglong Army’s camp was outside the Sacred City . However, each region inside the city had a Provincial Military Governor Residence . Each residence had around 3,000 soldiers that were responsible for the region’s order .

In the past few days, all of the Canglong Army’s generals returned to the city to capture Han Ying and Yan Honglie’s killer .

Qingyi Chan was in the Provincial Military Governor Residence of City 24 . Other than here, there were four high level Half-Saints at her side .

The residence was tightly guarded . They’d also activated a defensive formation . Even a top Saint would find it difficult to break in .

Qingyi Chan was a woman in her thirties . She wore cold metal armor and wasn’t very ugly . It was obvious that she was very beautiful when she was young . However, she didn’t really care about her looks and didn’t pay attention to that . Thus, her skin was very rough and a bit sallow .

“I wonder who has such deep hatred for Zhang Ruochen to say that he’s the Crown Prince from 800 years ago . Such nonsense . ”

Qingyi Chan scoffed coldly . She didn’t believe the rumors at all . ”

Beside her, a high level Half-Saint said, “The Ministry of War has already investigated Zhang Ruochen and knows everything about him . ”

Just then, footsteps sounded . A soldier ran over and lowered himself onto a knee before Qingyi Chan . “General, the major general sent two messengers with news that General Liao has fallen . He reminds you to be careful . He may come to assassinate you tonight . ”

“The major general already sent a message earlier . Why did he send two messengers now…Oh, no . ”

Qingyi Chan’s eyes narrowed . Cold light shot out of her and she immediately reached out . With the speed of lightning, she formed two hand prints and struck the kneeling soldier .
