God Emperor - Chapter 1043
Chapter 1043: Ten Leading Figures
All leading figures gathered in the World Pub. They were all famous figures who had huge pressure on other monks.
There were four leaders from the Blood God Sect: Gu Linfeng, Shangguan Xianyan, Hai Lingyin and Wei Longxing.
Among them, Hai Lingyin and Wei Longxing were top figures, supreme beings under saints. The Son of Deity, Gu Linfeng, and the Saintess, Shangguan Xianyan, appeared to be weak.
Surely, Shangguan Xianyan had a special identity, commanding many powerful figures of the Blood God Sect and the Shangguan Clan. If put in the fight, Hai Lingyin and Wei Longwei wouldn’t be able to defeat her.
The weakest person in their eyes was Gu Linfeng. He only had a cultivation of Fifth Level Half-Saint, and a few loyal subordinates.
Apart from his identity as the Son of Deity, he had nothing.
In the eyes of monks of the Cai Family and the Shangguan Clan, Shangguan Xianyan was the true leader of the Blood God Sect. They looked at Gu Linfeng with much disdain, contempt and mockery.
There were three leading figures of the Cai Family.
Other than Cai Jinglun and Cai Yunji, there was an old man, the General Manager of the Cai Family Saint Mansion, Cai Jin.
Cai Jin was a Ninth Level Half-Saint, who was more than 200 years old. Although he was no longer young and his vigor had faded away, he was surely an extraordinary person to have become the general manager of a household from the Middle Ages.
Cai Jin’s reason for coming to the Blue Dragon Void World this time was to find the saint medicine for him to become a saint.
There were also three leaders of the Shangguan Clan.
The leading person was a man about the age of 30. He looked pale, making people feel that he was sick.
The man named Shangguan Yi was the No. 1 most powerful figure under saints in the Shangguan Clan. He was also in the Half-Saint Outer Rank.
The other two leaders were a pair of young and beautiful twins, Shangguan Linglong and Shangguan Nihong.
No simple figures could have become the leaders.
The talents of Shangguan Linglong and Shangguan Nihong were no less than those of Shangguan Xianyan.
They both had sat in the seats of kings at the Kunlun Heir’s banquet. And they both had fought in the Sword Technique Conference hosted by the Yin and Yang Sect on behalf of the Taichi Sect.
They had the strengths of both Shangguan Clan and the Taichi Sect. And, they had both drank the Supreme Saint Heavenly Tea at the Kunlun’s Heir’s banquet. Their cultivations surged in recent times, almost getting to the Fourth Level Half-Saint.
The Supreme Saint Heavenly Tea was made of the Saintly Sources of eight beast Supreme Saints with 37 kinds of thousand-year-old saint medicine after 300 years of refinery.
Taking the Supreme Saint Heavenly Tea, their cultivations had surged and surpassed monks of their generation.
It was imaginable that once they acquired some heavenly treasures in the Blue Dragon Void World and improved their cultivations, they would become stronger than Shangguan Yi.
There were ten leading figures of the three forces.
Among them, the top three figures were the new Second Place in the imperial examination, Cai Jinglun from the Cai Family, Shangguan Yi from the Shangguan Clan, and Hai Lingyin from the Blood God Sect.
Shangguan Yi spoke first. “According to our Head, after we’ve found the Saintly Source Sacred Liquid and saint medicine in the Blue Dragon Void World, we should give them to Shangguan Linglong, Shangguan Nihong and the Saintess of the Blood God Sect first. As long as they could reach the Ninth Level of Half-Saints, we would have three top powerful figures by then.”
“I think we are all clear that the more top figures we have, the more freedom we would have in the Blue Dragon Void World.”
Cai Jin laughed. “Isn’t the Saintess of the Blood God Sect also a member of the Shangguan Clan?”
Shangguan Yi said, “The resources in the Blue Dragon Void World are rich enough to cultivate more than just the three of them. Why should General Manager Cai Jin argue about it?”
Cai Jinglun stopped Cai Lun’s words. “I agree with this arrangement. According to our Head, the resources we got in the Blue Dragon Void World would be used firstly to improve our cultivations. Then we could collect the treasures and take them back to Kunlun’s Field.”
“Same with our Shangguan Clan Leader.”
Shangguan Yi laughed and then kept coughing, as if he was seriously sick.
The people went on to discuss and arrange many things.
But nobody had asked for Gu Linfeng’s opinions. They deliberately left him out.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t bother to get involved. He sat aside by himself at ease, drinking tea.
Someone did remember him after a long while.
Cai Jin’s old eyes stared at Zhang Ruochen, who was sitting beside Shangguan Xianyan. He said, “We’ve decided to take up a nice spot on the spiritual mountain after our three households have entered the Blue Dragon Void World. Then we will spread out and search for heavenly treasures. In this way, we could either attack or retreat to defend ourselves. What do you think, Son of Deity, Your Highness?”
Other leading figures all stared at Zhang Ruochen with different expressions.
Shangguan Linglong, Shangguan Nihong and Cai Yunji all stared at him with contempt. After all, the Son of Deity of the Blood God Sect had a notorious name. Not only did he have lust for women, he was terribly overbearing, looking nothing like a man who could achieve great deeds.
And he had only reached the Fifth State of Half-Saint. Therefore, few people onsite treated him seriously.
Zhang Ruochen laughed, “No. Just make the decision by yourself. I just thought about an important errand that needs to be dealt with. I’ll leave now. Excuse me. Excuse me.”
Zhang Ruochen stood up and walked out of the World Pub after he finished his words.
Cai Yunji slammed his fists on the table and sneered, “Xianyan, why did your Blood God Sect choose such a useless Son of Deity? In my opinion, the Blood God Sect will come to an end once it’s fallen into his hands.”
“It’s our Son of Deity’s character. Never mind him. Don’t let this hurt our friendships.”
Shangguan Xianyan’s beautiful eyes looked at the gate as she put on a weird smile.
Walking out of the World Pub, Zhang Ruochen went to a secret place. Then he used his spiritual power to pass the word.
In a short time, a slight ripple of spiritual power appeared in the air.
Zoom–
An old man arrived, crossing the space. He walked out and kneeled on one knee on the ground. “Greetings, Your Highness, Son of Deity.”
The old man was Zhao Shiqi, the Fifth Banner Lord of the First Base of the Nether Heavenly Palace.
It was not widely known that Zhao Shiqi had been taken in by Zhang Ruochen, becoming a spy placed inside the Blood God Sect by Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Has your spiritual power reached the 48th level?”
Zhao Shiqi was a little delighted. “Were it not for the cultivation of the Son of Deity, I could never have achieved it in such a short time.”
Before he had left the Blood God Sect, Zhang Ruochen had once visited Zhao Shiqi alone. And he had given him three dewdrops on the first leaf, “Blue Dragon,” of the Seven Star Sacred Tuber.
With these three dewdrops, Zhao Shiqi made great progress in his spiritual power.
“No wonder the Seven Star Sacred Tuber is the sacred medicine. Even the dewdrops on it have such magical power.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded, and took out another jade bottle. He looked at Zhao Shiqi, and said, “There are 30 dewdrops of the Blue Dragon leaf in the bottle.”
Zhao Shiqi gave a fervent look.
Just three dewdrops had improved his spiritual power from the 47th level to the 48th level.
Getting 30 dewdrops would give him a big chance to reach the 49th level.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t hand the bottle to Zhao Shiqi directly. He asked, “Don’t you know anything about the Saintess?”
Zhao Shiqi said in a hurry, “I’m about to tell you, Your Highness. The Saintess has spent lots of resources to buy people over. Several Banner Kings in the Nether Heavenly Palace have collaborated with her. It is also said that Wei Longxing also has a close connection with her. People saw them plotting together. The Saintess might want to aim at you, Son of Deity. Your Highness must be careful.”
Since Zhao Shiqi had noticed something different about the Saintess; Shangguan Xianyan must have plotted something.
Zhang Ruochen nodded his head thoughtfully, then he threw the bottle over. “Improve your spiritual power to the 49th level as soon as possible. I have special missions for you in the Blue Dragon Void World.”
Zhao Shiqi was more than a Spiritual Half-Saint, but also a Beast Tamer. After they arrived in the Blue Dragon Void World, he would be put to good use.
Sometimes, a Beast Tamer was more useful than a bunch of Ninth Level Half-Saints.
Getting the Blue Dragon leaf dewdrops, Zhao Shiqi felt excited. He retreated at once to refine the dewdrops and improve his spiritual power.
Zhang Ruochen put his hands behind his back, and said to himself with a slight laugh, “I didn’t see this before, but the witch is truly ambitious. She seduced me first, trying to get me to let my guard down.”
All of a sudden, a wave appeared in the space surrounding him.
Zhang Ruochen felt something was different, and raised his head to look above him. He saw a jade rune hovering about 30 meters above the ground, completely blocking the space surrounding him.
Meanwhile, a middle-aged man in blood robes crossed the light curtain to walk to him. He laughed. “The Saintess did underestimate you. Even she didn’t expect that Your Highness had placed a spy inside the Sect. Everyone thinks that Your Highness is just a useless person who only has a lust for women. We were so wrong.”
“So you were sent by Shangguan Xianyan?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Qin Yu, Banner King of the Fourth Base of the Nether Heavenly Palace.”
Qin Yu held a black lance in his hand. The tip of the lance was blood red, giving out fiery light.
To have become a Banner King, Qin Yu did have a strong cultivation, almost getting to the middle of the Ninth Level Half-Saint.
Zhang Ruochen showed no fear, and laughed. “Is Shangguan Xianyan so desperate to fight against me?”
