God Emperor - Chapter 1080

Chapter 1080: Before the War

Wan Huayu had come together with Shangguan Xianyna, Cai Jinglun and Shangguan Yu. Each of them stood for a heritage of the Middle Ages, and was an influential figure in the Kunlun’s Field.

They looked awful. Apparently, they had been to the Yingsha City in the afternoon and had seen savage beasts eating people.

They would never forget the scene.

The positions of humans and savage beasts had shifted. Humans became the food of savage beasts. None of the human monks could accept it.

Wan Huayu jumped right to her intention that she wanted him to work with them and rescue the rest human monks.

Zhang Ruochen stood across from the four with hands folded behind him. He was straightforward. And he said lightly, “Not to mention the gap of the power between savage beasts and human race, suppose we have the same power…why do you think that I will go to rescue the human monks?”

Wan Huayu shrank her eyes, and gave out her will power. “We are all human monks and have to unite to fight the savage beasts. If we only think about our own, the human race would be scattered like sand and go to extinction.”

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t moved by it and appeared to be indifferent.

Shangguan Xianyan stood out. She didn’t look flirtatious, but somewhat gloomy. “Son of Deity, savage beasts led by the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon are devouring us, treating us like food and toys.”

“Now is the time that all human monks, whether in right ways or in evil ways, should work together to fight them. If we could rescue some human monks, it would be great. Even if we couldn’t, we have to let them pay dearly.”

Zhang Ruochen smiled and stared at Shangguan Xianyan opposite to him. “I remember that you are a woman of wisdom, not courage. Who made you believe that you can make dozens of savage beasts pay dearly? Since you have become the leader of the Blood God Sect, you should take the responsibility of keeping all students of the Blood God Sect alive, not sending them to death.”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t think their idea would work from the beginning to the end.

Now the number of savage beast clans outside the Yingsha City had come to about 30. Among them, there were more than 20 powerful beast kings.

Each clan had many savage beasts at the state of Half-Saint.

The total sum of the savage beasts was more than ten times the number of the human monks in the Yingsha City.

What’s the difference between fighting them and suicide?

Cai Jinglun glared at Zhang Ruochen and snorted. He said to Shangguan Xianyan and Wan Huayu, “Those beast kings were right. He is a coward. Why did you think that he would serve his part?”

Zhang Ruochen remained calm. His eyes just stared at the blowing sand afar, as if he didn’t hear Cai Jinglun’s satire or he was waiting for something.

Both Wan Huayu and Shangguan Xianyan sighed and shook their heads. They felt disappointed, said no more words, and were the first to leave.

Among the four, Shangguan Yi, the top figure of the Shangguan Family, didn’t say many words.

When he was going to leave, he said to Zhang Ruochen, “To fight the savage beasts, Evil Ways, Demonic Ways and monks of the imperial court are all willing to work together. But you are scared of death and challenge. A person like you can’t make any achievement.”

Then Shangguan Yi left as well.

Monks who followed Zhang Ruochen fell into silence.

They stared at Zhang Ruochen from time to time with expectation.

They knew that Zhang Ruochen wasn’t an indifferent person. He must have been considering a perfect way, not really feeling scared to fight the savage beasts.

Sun Dadi had woken up and sat on the floor silently.

All of a sudden, he moved his neck and grasped his iron stick. He held it on his shoulder and walked to Wan Huayu and Cai Jinglun.

“Where are you going?” asked Zhang Ruochen.

Sun Dadi didn’t turn his face, and said coldly, “One has to follow those who have the same path. I don’t want to follow a coward. I believe, there must be some human heroes unafraid of death, and I will follow them.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “You can hardly survive from their fight.”

“So what? Were it not for the human saints and talents who had fought the savage beasts and paid the price of their lives and blood in the past, how could human beings win a place of survival? Even if I had to die, I have to make some scores first.” Sun Dadi was very determined.

Zhang Ruochen still looked at the sand far away. Suddenly, his ears moved and heard the news passed from thousands of kilometers away.

He rounded his lips to put on a smile, and said, “Stay! Fighting along with them won’t save many people, and may cause more deaths. There’s another way to rescue them.”

Sun Dadi stopped at once and turned around to look at Zhang Ruochen. He was confused. “Do you mean it?”

Other human monks all stood up and looked at Zhang Ruochen with eagerness.

Blackie stood beside Zhang Ruochen and smirked, “Do you believe that Zhang Ruochen never thought about saving people? Zhang Ruochen had talked with me in the Scroll World. At last, we worked something out.”

“What is it?” asked Sun Dadi.

Blackie said with a steady speed, “If we fought them face to face, we would surely die. So, they can only use some strategies.”

Sun Dadi was in a hurry, and asked again, “Strategies? What about them?”

Blackie reached out a claw to stop Sun Dadi from being so anxious, and said, “I have to ask you something first. How have the savage beasts united together to deal with humans? They used to be quite scattered.”

Sun Dadi scratched his head. Light flashed in his eyes and said, “Because of the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon. It used its strong power to suppress all beast kings.”

“That’s right.”

Blackie nodded, and said, “Therefore, Zhang Ruochen thought that as long as we could find the weakness of it, we could rescue the human monks.”

“Two Heirs together were just equal to the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon. Such a terrible creature has weakness?” asked Sun Dadi.

“Every creature has its weakness.”

Blackie laughed and said, “The Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon had a close connection with Princess White Li of the Nine Li Cats. It is said that the Princess likes to condense into human shape and have unparalleled beauty. Since the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon has captured thousands of human monks, why don’t we capture Princess White Li?”

Sun Dadi was delighted. He gave it a careful thought and clapped his hands. He shouted, “Haha! You are amazing to have thought about this. Next, I have to see whether the lives of thousands of human monks mean much or the life of Princess White Li in the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon’s eyes.”

Blackie rolled its eyes and said, “Do you think that Princess White Li is easy to capture? It is also a Taigu that remains with great power and ranks No.78 on the Half-Saint Rank. Do you think that you can resist the attack of its single finger with your cultivation?”

Sun Dadi was shocked and shook his head.

Blackie added, “Besides, the White Li Clan has a special technique called Near-Far Pace. Once the pace is used, it could get to thousands of kilometers away with just one step. Even saints couldn’t stop it. It isn’t easy to capture at all.”

Blackie had a close connection with the Nine Li Cats, so it knew them well.

Sun Dadi moved his eyes while thinking, and laughed. “If other monks couldn’t stop it, my lord surely can! My lord is the Time and Space Descendant. Fast as Princess White Li is, it can’t escape from my lord’s control.”

Blackie laughed, and said, “Didn’t you just say that one has to follow those who have the same path? Why are you calling him ‘my lord’ again?”

The red face of Sun Dadi turned redder.

He held his fists and made a bow. “My lord, I have misunderstood you. Please forgive me.”

“You are not wrong. You don’t have to ask for my forgiveness.”

Zhang Ruochen added, “The reason why I didn’t tell you before is that I wasn’t sure if I could trace Princess White Li. If I can’t find it, there’s nothing we could do about it.”

“Have you traced her now?” asked Sun Dadi.

Zhang Ruochen nodded. “Just now, Sikong One and Sikong Two have passed words back that they’ve found the trace of Princess White Li and they are narrowing down the location.”

Until now, Sun Dadi had not realized that Sikong One and Sikong Two, these two bold monks, had gone. They had gone to find Princess White Li.

Now Sun Dadi almost prostrated himself before Zhang Ruochen in admiration. He was cautious, calm and not indifferent. He just had a different way of thinking and solving problems.

Such a figure deserved his loyalty.

“My lord, let me follow you to capture Princess White Li. More people, more power,” said, Sun Dadi.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and took out a portion of Divine Dew White Tiger. He gave it to Sun Dadi and patted his shoulder. He said, “You have to refine this quickly. It should help you to pass the First Trial of the Pre-Saint.”

Sun Dadi’s current cultivation was a little weaker than that of a beast king.

Once it passed the First Trial of the Pre-Saint, it should have the power to fight beast kings right away.

Zhang Ruochen went to where Sikong One and Sikong Two passed their messages, taking Blackie with him. He was prepared to use their power, three people and a beast, to capture Princess White Li.

Wan Huayu and others also gathered an army of human monks outside the city. They started to make plans to work with monks inside the city to strike the beast clans.

The night would surely be filled with blood.
