God Emperor - Chapter 883

Chapter 883

Wan Zhaoyi’s eyes seemed to have been made of gold . He scanned the surroundings, looking for traces of Zhang Ruochen .

If anyone was close enough to study him, they would find that his pupils were two golden divine lions . This was the “Hidden Lion Golden Eye . ” According to legends, only Supreme Saints of the Lion Clan could have these eyes . They would be able to see through all disguises .

Seeing Wan Zhaoyi use these eyes, even Zhang Ruochen became serious . He was a bit worried if Blackie’s Xuanwu Sky-concealing Formation could hide from Wan Zhaoyi’s investigation .

However, Blackie was very confident . “It’s the rarely-seen Hidden Lion Golden Eye . This Wan Zhaoyi is quite interesting . He has the resources of a Supreme Saint . The Xuanwu Sky-concealing Formation by itself might really be exposed to him . ”

“However, the geography here is unique . My formation has already become one with the land . Even the Hidden Lion Golden Eye won’t be able to see through it . ”

A mass of blue words flew over from the sky . They formed a long bridge that crossed thousands of miles, hanging in the air . A beautiful girl with white skin and red lips was on the bridge . She stood proudly like a goddess . Her beauty was worth that of cities . Even more shocking was that her elegance was comparable to the talented ladies of noble clans .

“The words have constructed a bridge and the Qi connects to the clouds . Has some Saint of Spiritual Power from the Confucius Way arrived?”

Li Min widened her eyes, staring at the white-clothed woman in shock . It had always been her dream to enter the four sects of the Confucius Way to cultivate . If she could become a Half-Saint of Spiritual Power, it would be even better .

Zhang Ruochen glanced up and said nonchalantly, “That’s the Saint Lady, Nalan Danqing . ”

He hadn’t expected to see the Saint Lady so soon either .

“She…she’s the Saint Lady…oh my god…” Li Min was so excited that her legs trembled . She went limp as if she’d pass out and collapsed onto Zhang Ruochen .

“What’s wrong?” Zhang Ruochen reached over and helped her up .

“The Saint Lady is indeed as beautiful as a goddess…ah…Zhang Ruochen, if I die…I really saw the Saint Lady…”

Li Min was practically going nuts . She grabbed Zhang Ruochen’s arm and actually bit down . If Zhang Ruochen wasn’t holding her, she probably would have dropped to the ground in reverence .

It was understandable . Any student of the Confucius Way would probably want to kowtow to a beautiful Saint of the Confucius Way .

But was the Saint Lady really that mesmerizing? Zhang Ruochen couldn’t understand Li Min’s feelings . He just shook his head and continued focusing on the two flying in the air .

Saint Lady stared at Wan Zhaoyi . “Where’s the Taotian Sword?” she asked .

Wan Zhaoyi put away his Hidden Lion Golden Eyes and composed himself . “When I got here, the Taotian Sword disappeared . Zhang Ruochen must be hiding nearby . It seems that we can only force him out with the Tianming Summoning Rune . ”

“Wait . It’s best not to use the Tianming Summoning Rune so carelessly . You may disrupt the Rules of Saintly Way nearby . It is only a few hundred miles from the Ziyong Pass . If you use the rune, the Military Base would have to move . It’s too much . ”

With that, the Saint Lady activated her Heavenly Eyes and looked around .

She turned it off a while later . “Neither your Hidden Lion Golden Eyes nor my Heavenly Eyes can find Zhang Ruochen . He must have escaped . Zhang Ruochen can probably use a wormhole or another spatial technique to put the Taotian Sword away . The power of space is unpredictable . ”

Wan Zhaoyi also suspected that Zhang Ruochen had escaped . After all, the Hidden Lion Golden Eyes could even see through the Invisibility Formation . How could a mere Half-Saint hide from his eyes?

“It’s fine,” Wan Zhaoyi said . “Since Zhang Ruochen dared to come to the Central County, there’ll be more chances to deal with him in the future . Let us return to Ziyong Pass in case anything else happens . ”

Whoosh!

Golden light streaked past . Wan Zhaoyi left first . Only the Saint Lady remained in the sky . She looked down with her starry eyes and then waved her fan . She swept backwards with the bridge of words .

After the two left, Zhang Ruochen finally asked, “What’s the Tianming Summoning Rune?”

Li Min patted her chest and exhaled deeply . “Thankfully the Saint Lady stopped Wan Zhaoyi from using the rune . Otherwise, we would die here . ”

“The Tianming Summoning Rune is the inheritance summoning left behind by Emperor Tianming . It contains all the Emperor Qi from his life . Anyone who receives the rune can command the world and all the Emperor Qi, change the Rules of Saintly Way, and become the new emperor of the Tianming Central Empire . ”

“Of course, after Emperor Tianming died, the Tianming Central Empire fell more than 70,000 years ago, becoming ancient history . Now, the Empress rules the world and is undefeatable . Even if Wan Zhaoyi really has the summoning rune, it’s only a powerful weapon . It can’t create an empire by itself . ”

Zhang Ruochen had naturally heard of Emperor Tianming’s legend . Apparently, after the middle ages, all of Kunlun’s Field was in chaos . It was Emperor Tianming who’d established the first Central Empire in the Southern Region .

The Tianming Central Empire had flourished for a time . Unfortunately, after Emperor Tianming died, he had no strong heirs and the empire disintegrated . The Southern Region once again fell into chaos .

It wasn’t until 30 years ago that Emperor Tianming’s tomb had flown out of the deep underground . After battles with various parties, Wan Zhaoyi came out on top and took the inheritance of Emperor Tianming .

The Tianming Summoning Rune was the most precious treasure from the tomb .

“Wan Zhaoyi must be very lucky and fated to become the top figure of Kunlun’s Field in the past century,” Zhang Ruochen said .

He also warned himself inwardly to be more careful . Even those ancient figures would probably choose to avoid someone like Wan Zhaoyi .

Wan Zhaoyi and the Saint Lady had left, but Zhang Ruochen knew that their cultivations were very strong . Their senses and Spiritual Power must still be over this area . Thus, he waited until midnight of the next day . Then he put on the Shooting Star Invisibility Cloak over him and Li Min and left the area .

On the morning of the third day, Zhang Ruochen and Li Min appeared in a village 3,000 miles away from Ziyong Pass . They sat in a small stand and ate a light meal . Zhang Ruochen obviously didn’t have to eat anymore because of his cultivation, but it was different for Li Min . She was a genius in Spiritual Power, but she was still a mortal .

The town was small, but it had everything necessary . Its roads stretched in all directions . Merchant caravans and martial artists came to and fro .

News of Zhang Ruochen splitting Ziyong Pass with his sword had spread throughout the entire Central County quickly . Even the lowliest commoners discussed this news .

“Zhang Ruochen hasn’t stopped since he’s come to Yuan Mansion . First, he killed four Half-Saints of the Ministry of War . Now, he even broke into the Military Base and split Ziyong Pass into two halves . ”

The Ministry of War is completely humiliated . Apparently, Wan Zhaoyi has announced that he’ll capture Zhang Ruochen within three months . ”

“Ever since Wan Zhaoyi has become famous, none of his opponents could live past three months . This time won’t be an exception either . ”

…

One could hear all sorts of news by sitting on the roadside . Of course, some rumors were too exaggerated . Some people even said that Zhang Ruochen and Wan Zhaoyi had fought for one day and night, sending the entire Ziyong Pass into the ground .

When Zhang Ruochen heard this, he just smiled . It was evident how unreliable the so-called legends were .

“You’ve made it hard for me to find you two . ”

An ancient figure came out of nowhere . He walked into the stand and unabashedly sat across from Zhang Ruochen .

Seeing the old man, Li Min paled with fear . She immediately stood up and bowed, trembling . “Greetings, Grand Elder . ”

This was Half-Saint Li Ku, the grand elder of the Li Family .

“You really know how to make trouble . I’ll deal with you later . ” Half-Saint Li Ku stared at Li Min and huffed . Then he looked to Zhang Ruochen and put his hands together in greeting . “Lord Zhang, the clan leader wishes to see you . ”

Zhang Ruochen seemed to have expected this, so he wasn’t shocked at all . He just nodded lightly . “Sir, please lead the way . ”

The Guardians of the Prison were indeed in every corner of the Yuan Mansion . Zhang Ruochen and Li Min had just arrived last night, but Half-Saint Li Ku already found them in the morning .

It was obvious that people had their eyes on them when they entered the town .

Soon after Zhang Ruochen, Half-Saint Li Ku, and Li Min left, the strong cultivators of the Ministry of War also rushed over . Of course, they were too late .
