God Emperor - Chapter 931

Chapter 931: 931

Zhang Ruochen had received many treasures in the netherworld . Each one was worth entire fortunes, especially the divine blood, the Shenwan Fruit, the Divine Blood-red Earth, etc . Selling a tiny bit would be enough to buy a Divine Origin Pill .

With his current wealth, he’d even surpassed some influential saint families .

Murong Yue’s eyes darkened . “The Black Market of the Yuan Mansion probably doesn’t have any third class Divine Origin Pills . If you really want it, you’ll have to wait some time . If I send the message to the main base of the Black Market in the state of Tiantai, they will naturally escort the Divine Origin Pill over . ”

“How long will it take?” Zhang Ruochen asked .

“It’ll take at least three months,” Murong Yue said . “After all, all Half-Saints would fight over the Divine Origin Pill . It’s already a difficult task to bring it out to sell . Plus, even if the Divine Origin Pill appears on the market, it’ll be taken to the auction before being transported to the Black Markets of the various counties . ”

Zhang Ruochen understood this . After all, only a top-tier auction could get the Divine Origin Pill’s price to the highest level .

Things were already unfair to an independent cultivator . If they wanted to get cultivation resources, they had to risk their lives . This was because some sects had monopolized the resources . Some things were difficult to buy even if they had money .

If Zhang Ruochen was still at a Saint Academy or Yin and Yang Sect, he would have a chance to receive a Divine Origin Pill with his talent . He wouldn’t have to wrack his mind for ways to enter a higher cultivation level .

“Three months… I can’t wait that long . ” Zhang Ruochen furrowed his brow tightly . “It seems like I’ll have to personally visit the main Black Market in the state of Tiantai . ”

The state of Tiantai was one of the nine states in the Central Region . It was vast and had rich resources . Families and sects were spread across the land . It had been part of the Sacred Central Empire .

Thus, Zhang Ruochen was quite familiar with the Zhouwan Divine Land in the heart of the state of Tiantai . The Zhouwan Divine Land had basically been the number one gathering spot for Monks of the Sacred Central Empire, other than the Royal Capital . A city hadn’t been established there, but it was more prosperous than any other city . The martial arts there flourished and had many hidden strong figures .

It was also the hub for resources, wealth, strong cultivators, and beauties of the entire state of Tiantai . As long as one had enough saint stones, one could buy anything .

The main base of Tiantai’s Black Market was in the Zhouwan Divine Land .

Murong Yue also agreed with Zhang Ruochen going there personally to bid for the Divine Origin Pill . This way, he could save a lot of time and also buy pills of other levels .

Murong Yue’s heart jumped as she thought of something else . “A big event happened recently . Perhaps you will be interested . ”

“What is it?” Zhang Ruochen asked .

“Not long ago, a conflict occurred in the Zhouwan Divine Land,” Murong Yue said . “It was bloody and countless human Monks died . It was comparable to the disaster at the Yuan Mansion . ”

Zhang Ruochen’s expression turned serious . “Why?” he asked .

“I heard it had something to do with the Vampire Secrets . The imperial court, Confucius Way, Shang Guan clan, Immortal Vampires, Blood God Sect, and even some clans and saint families were involved . More than half of the top forces in the entire state of Tiantai had acted . ”

Zhang Ruochen was interested . “What is it with the Vampire Secrets?”

“I’m not sure . ” Murong Yue shook her head . “The battle was extremely intense and involved many people . However, very few people actually know the details . Every force had different losses from the battle . Of course, the most shocking one has to be the death of the Saint Lady . ”

“How is that possible?” Zhang Ruochen’s expression changed . It was like a bolt from the blue . “The Saint Lady has fallen? How could she…”

The Saint Lady had overflowing skills and extraordinary talent . She was comparable to the people on the Five Heroes List . Plus, she had countless defense treasures .

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t believe that she could die .

“The details from the various sides are unclear,” Murong Yue said . “I only heard rumors . At that time, the Saint Lady went to the Shang Guan clan alone . She requested to see Shangguan Que, the old patriarch, to see the Vampire Secrets . ”

“But when she left, she was stopped by the Vampires . That was how the entire conflict started . Many forces all wanted the Vampire Secrets, so they all got involved . ”

“The last battle took place on the Blood God Sect’s land . Some people saw a Blood King of the Vampires pierce the Saint Lady’s defensive treasure . She was turned into a bloodied corpse and fell into a Bottomless Abyss . ”

“The Saint Lady was indeed powerful and at the Saint level, but she was still only a cultivator of the Spiritual Power . Her physical body was still extremely fragile . Once she was hit, death was imminent . Plus, she’d fallen into something as hopeless as the Bottomless Abyss . It’s even less possible for her to survive . ”

Zhang Ruochen clenched his fists tightly . “The…Bottomless…Abyss…” he gritted out .

He was very familiar with the Bottomless Abyss .

Back then, the undefeatable Blood Empress had forced Zhang Ruochen’s father into the Bottomless Abyss . He never returned to the Kunlun’s Field . It was said that the Bottomless Abyss really had no bottom . No one could return from it, even a god .

“She’d gone to the Shang Guan Clan because she’d heard what I’d said . Otherwise, she wouldn’t have died . ”

Zhang Ruochen felt very guilty . His heart was in pain .

The Saint Lady’s beautiful figure appeared in his mind . She was filled with a scholarly aura . She was both graceful and warm . Probably only she was qualified to be called a “saint lady . ”

“No, the Saint Lady has a very good fate . How can she die just like this?” Zhang Ruochen clenched his jaw . His heart hurt so much . He couldn’t accept this . “I will visit the Bottomless Abyss,” he said . “I must go no matter what . ”

Murong Yue had long guessed that Zhang Ruochen had a special relationship with the Saint Lady . She wasn’t surprised at Zhang Ruochen’s decision .

However, she couldn’t let him take this risk . “The Bottomless Abyss is a place of death for all living things,” she immediately warned . “Even a Saint doesn’t dare approach it . Please reconsider . ”

When she saw that Zhang Ruochen was unmoved, she continued, “The Blood God Sect has already sealed all the land around the Bottomless Abyss . Even a strong fighter from the Confucius Way or imperial court will be stopped if they go . If you force your way into it, you’ll definitely attract misfortune . You might even…lose your life . ”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes hardened . “Why did the Blood God Sect seal the Bottomless Abyss?”

Murong Yue shook her head . “I’m not sure what happened . I just heard that their actions were a bit strange in the fight for the Vampire Secrets . They seem to be very close to the Vampires . ”

She kept her words vague, but Zhang Ruochen still understood . The Blood God Sect and Vampires might have some unspeakable secrets .

Murong Yue continued, “Of course, it’s also possible that the Bottomless Abyss hides some secret, so they blocked it from outsiders . ”

Zhang Ruochen already heard about the Blood God Sect 800 years ago . It wasn’t unfamiliar to him at all .

The Blood God Sect was a powerful force from the middle ages . Their influence in the state of Tiantai was second only to the Taichi Way . Even the imperial court wouldn’t start a fight with them brashly .

Once a fight began, it would definitely create rivers of blood and piles of corpses .

Zhang Ruochen had recovered gradually and began to think seriously . “This is why it’s even more imperative for me to make a visit . ”

Murong Yue said, “But…”

Zhang Ruochen cut her off with an insistent gaze . He continued, “If I remember correctly, the Blood God Sect has a tight relationship with the Black Market . Do you have a way for me to infiltrate them?”

Murong Yue saw that Zhang Ruochen had made up his mind so she gave up persuading him . “A regular person has no chance of infiltrating the Blood God Sect with their strict defenses . However, you’re skilled in transformation skills . It may be possible . ”

“But if you transform into an average Monk, you’ll have no chance of entering the top level of the sect . That way, you won’t have the opportunity to see their secrets . But if you transform into someone from the top level, it’ll be much easier to reveal flaws . That is also very dangerous . Both choices are difficult…”

Kaboom!

A huge explosion came from outside the mansion . Even the ground trembled .

Next, a deafening roar sounded . “You hurt the Blood Dragon Prince . You think you can hide from the Blood Dragon Hall by hiding in here?”

Zhang Ruochen and Murong Yue exchanged glances . They stopped talking and flew up together . They landed at the top of a tower . Standing on the tiles, they looked in the direction of the voice .

The defensive formation around the mansion was under a saint weapon’s attack . It showed completely, forming a layer of white light that wrapped around the entire mansion .

The mansion was surrounded by Monks from the Blood Dragon Hall . People clad in blood-red robes filled the streets and stood atop the roofs . Each one radiated with icy auras .

Some powerful figures even rode savage beasts and hovered in the air . They sealed the sky as well so Zhang Ruochen’s group couldn’t escape .

“They came pretty quickly,” Zhang Ruochen muttered to himself .

A few stronger elders walked out of the mansion, gathering below Murong Yue and Zhang Ruochen . They were the strong cultivators Murong Yue had brought over from the Eastern Region . Most of them were elders of the Murong Clan and were very loyal to her .

All of them were top figures . They didn’t fear the Monks of the Blood Dragon Hall at all . If Murong Yue said the word, they could walk out immediately and massacre all those Monks .

However, Murong Yue’s eyes brightened now . “Lord, I thought of something . It might allow you to enter the Blood God Sect silently and even have a chance to become part of the top level . ”

“What?” Zhang Ruochen asked .

Murong Yue pointed at the Blood Dragon Hall cultivator outside the mansion . “The Blood Dragon Hall is a branch of the Blood God Sect . They’re known as the Blood God Sect’s representatives in the Yuan Mansion . Gu Yan, Lord of the Blood Dragon Hall, is the disciple of Discipline King Haiming, one of the four Discipline Kings of the Blood God Sect . The Blood Dragon Prince is Discipline King Haiming’s grand-disciple . ”
