Chapter 1738: Shocking Change

“There’s an extra Divine Ze Pill. Here.”

Nine Heavenly Maiden held a Divine Ze Pill with purple Qi and handed it to Zhang Ruochen. She seemed very gentle and elegant.

Zhang Ruochen knew that the Nine Heavenly Maiden’s consciousness was that of the Saint Lady now.

The other eight had broken off their minds and went into deep cultivation state. Martial Saint Canglan was absorbing the Ice and Fire Phoenix’s inheritance, Qing Mo was studying the Food God’s essence, Goddess Siming was studying the mysterious spells of the ancient pavilion…

This was why Zhang Ruochen felt positively about the Nine Heavenly Maiden and even trusted her.

But seeing the Divine Ze Pill in her hands, Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “No need!”

“The Divine Ze Pill is a heavenly divine pill. It’s rare even in Heaven World. If you take it, you’ll definitely improve greatly.”

Seeing that Zhang Ruochen still wasn’t convinced, it dawned on Nine Heavenly Maiden. “Are you not accepting it because it’s given by the empress?”

“I know what you want and you understand me,” Zhang Ruochen said. “Why are you still trying to persuade me?”

Nine Heavenly Maiden realized that it was impossible to make him and the empress reconcile.

The empress was the one she respected the most, while she appreciated and even loved Zhang Ruochen. But the two were mortal enemies.

She was stuck in the middle and how could she not feel frustrated? She always wanted to do something to soften the problems between them, but…it was all in vain.

Zhang Ruochen scanned the entire hall and smiled. “This Divine Ze Pill isn’t extra, right? It’s yours. I appreciate your intentions, but you shouldn’t get involved in my rivalry with Chi Yao.”

On the side, Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongyue stared at Zhang Ruochen and Nine Heavenly Maiden.

However, the two were talking with Spiritual Power, so they couldn’t hear the conversation at all.

However, they were very confused. Since Zhang Ruochen was a rebel from the previous dynasty, traitor of Kunlun’s Field, and a murderous demon, then why would the pure maiden have a good relationship with him? And even Luo Xu and Wan Zhaoyi respected this man?

Zhang Ruochen asked the question that he was most concerned about.

Nine Heavenly Maiden wasn’t surprised at all. Solemnly, she said, “We’ve also thought of this problem. It’s very possible that our secret mission has already become known to Heaven Field, but there’s no other way. We must conquer the Xumi Dojo.”

Zhang Ruochen nodded. Since Nine Heavenly Maiden had thought of this, then she must have made some preparations.

“Actually, our attack time isn’t even tomorrow at the break of dawn,” Nine Heavenly Maiden said.

“Then when is it?”

“It’s in two hours. No more than five people know about this. Even if Heaven Field knows beforehand that we’ll attack Xumi Dojo, the change in time can give us back some advantage. Plus, they’ll never be able to think that we could ask you for help.”

It was eight hours before planned. This must be an unexpected move by Kunlun’s Field.

Chuckling, Zhang Ruochen asked, “Am I one of your hidden cards too?”

“If we activate All Lives Equal, who in the same realm is your match? In my opinion, you’re not a hidden card. You’re a top card that can counter all enemies.” Nine Heavenly Maiden looked at Zhang Ruochen with extremely appreciative and misty eyes.

“I need to go out for a moment.”

Zhang Ruochen got up and walked out of the gate.

Walking out of the hall, Zhang Ruochen gazed at the darkening sky and fell silent for a long while. Then he took out many communication scrolls. He carved on them and sent them out.

Just in case, he sent messages to Zhen Yuan, Fairy Cihang, Le, and Han Qiu.

Zhen Yuan and Fairy Cihang might not fight for Kunlun’s Field, but if anything major happened during tonight’s battle, they wouldn’t just stand by and watch.

It would be great even if they just used the Taoism and Buddha Ways to restrict the strong figures of Heaven Field.

When Zhang Ruochen returned to the hall, everyone had already eaten the Dragon Divine Essence Pills and Divine Ze Pills and they were refining them.

Roar!

A young Saint of the imperial court refined the Dragon Divine Essence Pill and moved up two realms directly. His Spiritual Power reached a peak state and a layer of golden vapor scales appeared on his skin.

“Ha, a breakthrough! This feeling is amazing!”

Saint after Saint refined the Dragon Divine Essence Pills. Some of them reached the Saint King Realm directly and they released powerful saint might.

Each cultivator’s bodies were covered in a layer of golden dragon scales like armor for their entire body.

Saint Kings that refined the Divine Ze Pill found that the Rules of Saintly Way in their Sea of Qi multiplied quickly. Their cultivations had a great breakthrough and they were all very excited.

Morale lifted.

Everyone was more confident in taking down the Xumi Dojo.

Luo Xu refined a portion of the Divine Ze Pill and reached the sixth step Saint King Realm. He stood up from his seat, saying, “The empress cares greatly about the Xumi Dojo battle. If we can conquer it tonight, there will be even greater rewards.”

Wan Zhaoyi also stood up. “The Xumi Dojo was created by saint monks. It should be a cultivation paradise for Kunlun’s Field, but it was taken by Heaven Field for 100,000 years. Tonight, we will wash it with blood and take back what belongs to us.”

“Tonight?”

“Aren’t we conquering the Xumi Dojo at dawn tomorrow?”

Many cultivators were confused.

“Yes, tonight. More accurately, right now.”

Li Qian, leader of the savage beasts, stood up. Her elegant body looked beautiful. She stared at Nine Heavenly Maiden with handsome eyes. “The Xumi Dojo is one million miles away from us. What is the extremely fast way of reaching it that you mentioned?”

“Space transfer formation.”

Hundreds of gazes stared at Zhang Ruochen.

He was quite surprised, but he quickly understood.

There was a scoff beside him.

The Time and Space Martial Deity Print on Chi Kunlun’s forehead appeared and spun slowly. “Zhang Ruochen isn’t the only one that can set up a space transfer formation. I can do it too. Come, let us go now. If we do not conquer the Xumi Dojo, then we shall die there.”

Hundreds of Saints and Saint Kings flew powerfully out of the hall, going toward the space transfer formation.

“I’ll go bring that friend of mine over and meet up with you all later.”

After saying that to Nine Heavenly Maiden, Zhang Ruochen rushed out of Tianluo Dojo. Like a beam of light, he disappeared among the snowy mountains.

“Zhang Ruochen ran away like this?”

“Doesn’t he act so cocky? How come he escaped at the critical moment?”

The Rosefinch Fairy sneered. “Maybe it’s because you all kept bullying him and he finally couldn’t take it, so he left in anger!”

“Then, just let him leave,” the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon said. “We’ll activate All Lives Equal anyway. Everyone will be in the same realm and nobody’s more powerful than the other. Losing him won’t affect anything.”

Only Nine Heavenly Maiden knew that Zhang Ruochen wasn’t running away. He really was going to bring a powerful friend over.

However, this friend had a special identity and wasn’t suitable for appearing before Kunlun’s Field. That’s why Zhang Ruochen left him outside the Tianluo Dojo.

This friend was Xie Chengzi.

The cultivators of Kunlun’s field were already biased against Zhang Ruochen. If they saw Xie Chengzi, they would probably go crazy. This was why Zhang Ruochen did not bring him to join the meeting with Kunlun’s field.

After meeting up with Xie Chengzi, Zhang Ruochen stood in the air and said, “Come with me. I’m afraid tonight’s battle will be hard…oh…”

He suddenly sensed something and said harshly, “Come out.”

Not far from Xie Chengzi, the space trembled and Blackie’s round face appeared. It grinned at Zhang Ruochen. “You’re getting more and more alert. My invisibility formations can’t fool you anymore.”

Next, the Amazing Little Taoist walked out of the formation. With a stiff face, he said, “Zhang Ruochen, we’re only here because we had no other choice. It’s her, it’s all her. She did cruel things to me. That’s why the Massacre Emperor brought her to you.”

“Am I that powerful? It’s you who led the way. It has nothing to do with me.”

“You were the one who wanted to follow. It has nothing to do with me.”

Blackie and the Amazing Little Taoist started fighting again, rolling in the snow.

Zhang Ruochen stared at the Thousand Star Maiden and frowned. “Why are you here?”

“No reason? I’m just curious where you went so sneakily.” The Thousand Star Maiden’s starry eyes moved gently. Smiling, she said, “Now, I finally know that you really do have a grand mission tonight. How about you bring me along to play?”

Blackie and the Amazing Little Taoist stopped and said in unison, “We want to go play too.”

“Play? So many cultivators will die tonight. It’s best if you all don’t go.”

Time was tight and Zhang Ruochen was too lazy to explain to them. He was about to bring Xie Chengzi back to the Tianluo Dojo when—

Kaboom!

Just then, there was a huge explosion.

Zhang Ruochen spun around and looked toward the Tianluo Dojo, on a mountaintop hundreds of miles away. He saw a bloody sword, thousands of feet long. It unleased Six Yao Complete Power and hovered above the Tianluo Dojo.

The Tianluo Dojo’s formation was cut apart by that sword. A portion of the 10,000-meter-tall snow mountain was cut down.

Strong Sword Qi traveled from hundreds of meters away, whooshing and leaving behind dense marks on the ground below Zhang Ruochen.

One could imagine how strong this sword was.

Kaboom!

An avalanche erupted.

“Oh no, this is a problem!”

Zhang Ruochen used a physical technique and flew toward the Tianluo Dojo like a meteorite streaking across the sky.

“There’s a good show. Let’s go follow him.”

Blackie didn’t sense the severity of the matter at all. Instead, it was excited. It spread its wings and flew closely behind Zhang Ruochen.
