God Emperor - Chapter 1129
Chapter 1129: Princess Yanchen’s Tactics
And then, Huang Yanchen told everyone about how the Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race and Ancient Necromancer Race slaughtered the people in the city.
To savage beasts and immortal vampires, this was no big deal. However, the human monks were all shocked.
“It was the Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race and Ancient Necromancer Race who killed their own people. That Feng Yinchan dared put the blame on Zhang Ruochen. She’s so wicked.”
“The aboriginal people in Blue Dragon Void World are human beings too. They shouldn’t have slaughtered the commoners.”
…
Huang Yanchen was one of the nine heirs, and she was also the sister of the other eight heirs. She was one of the heirs of East Region Saint Mansion, so she had an official background.
The human monks tended to believe her.
“We did set you guys up on the mountain, but we’re not to blame. Your greed led you to your destruction. Even if there were ancient remains on the mountain, we would be the first one to find them. Why would you think you had the right to them?” Huang Yanchen asked.
Rosefinch Fairy stood on top of Heavenly King Bi’an, and there were trips of flame around her body. She looked beautiful. She sneered and tried to counter what Huang Yanchen said. “It’s called the survival of the fittest. Even if you can find the valuables first, they might still not belong to you.”
Huang Yanchen sneered, “If the rule is the survival of the fittest, we didn’t do anything wrong. Why does that great being ranked at first place on the ‘Half-Saint Rank’ think he has the moral high ground to judge Zhang Ruochen?”
After several fights in Yingsha City, Qingtian Tribe and Dragon Top Mountain in Blue Dragon Void World, Zhang Ruochen had already gained widespread popularity among the human monks. Many human monks were grateful for his help, and some idolized him.
Even though Zhang Ruochen didn’t care how others thought about him, lots of human monks still sternly believed in him and supported him.
“Zhang Ruochen is a young supreme of our human race. He doesn’t need judging by other races.”
“Zhang Ruochen just pretended to be mad so that human monks wouldn’t join the fight for him, otherwise they might have been injured. That alone means he isn’t an idiot.”
“That Qiu Yu wanted to refine with the saintess from Moon Worship Demonic Sect, so he is targeting Zhang Ruochen. What a despicable person!” a young female half saint said.
Qiu Yu started to be hated by the human monks, and his handsome face started to twitch. He couldn’t stay calm like before anymore.
However, he didn’t do anything inappropriate because of that. He said, “Since this is just a misunderstanding, I’ll put a stop to it now.” Qiu Yu shot a glance at Mu Lingxi. He shivered his body and disappeared.
Qiu Yu was so fast that only a few saw the way he left.
“Impressive that he’s able to control his emotions so well. He’s indeed somebody,” Huang Yanchen said.
Zhang Ruochen was still staring at where Qiu Yu stood. He smiled and said, “He has the force of the Divine Sycamore Tree, and he has great potential to mature in the future. Perhaps he will become a holy tree in the future. He has great ambition, so he won’t make himself an enemy to all the humans for such a petty thing.”
“It seems that the human race has offended him!”
Huang Yanchen smiled seductively. It was such a beautiful smile that it cast away the coldness on her.
Zhang Ruochen said, “It’s all because of you. You were the one who tried to argue with her. Was that really necessary?”
“He was targeting you, so I certainly had to fight back. You might not care much about it, but as you wife, I have to defend you.”
Huang Yanchen looked up and was proud of what she did. She behaved like a white goose with pride.
Zhang Ruochen now realized what was really happening. He took a look at Mu Lingxi beside him.
Huang Yanchen didn’t hesitate at all before she confronted Qiu Yu. She stopped refining divine medicinal pills to suppress her breakthrough so that she could confront Qiu Yu.
On the surface, she was targeting Qiu Yu, but she was actually aiming at Mu Lingxi.
Qiu Yu had saved Mu Lingxi’s life, so she couldn’t have said something like that to Qiu Yu as Mu Lingxi did.
Besides, Huang Yanchen kept emphasizing that she was the wife of Zhang Ruochen, and that she was doing what a wife was supposed to do.
Perhaps the so-called first place on ‘Half-Saint Rank’ wasn’t her enemy at all. Her real enemy was Mu Lingxi.
“Besides, I didn’t cause the situation. Xingling is the reason this whole thing happened.”
Huang Yanchen smiled at Zhang Ruochen, and then, she looked to Mu Lingxi. She walked toward her and said, “Long time, Xing Ling.”
Mu Lingxi looked down and said, “Sister Chen.”
Mu Lingxi was no longer excited and exhilarated like before. Instead, she felt a bit bitter.
Huang Yanchen sized up Mu Lingxi as if it were the first time that she met her. She said, “This is what you really look like, isn’t it? You’re indeed much more beautiful than before. I can even call you the most beautiful woman in Kunlun’s Field. No wonder even Qiu Yu, ranked first place on the ‘Half-Saint Rank,’ was attracted to you. Even I admire you standing in front of you.”
Mu Lingxi immediately interjected and said, “Sister Chen, I’m just here to check on you and Zhang Ruochen. Now that I’m sure that you’ve recovered, I should leave now.”
“I’ll escort you.”
Instead of asking her to stay, she walked Mu Lingxi down the mountain herself.
Blackie shot a glance at Zhang Ruochen, smiled and said, “That girl Mu Lingxi is really attached to you. Why didn’t you convince her to stay?”
“Didn’t you see that they were almost about to fight each other?” Zhang Ruochen said.
Blackie nodded and said, “Makes sense. Princess Yanchen’s getting stronger and stronger. Each sentence she said was like a divine spell, so forceful that Mu Lingxi couldn’t even fight back.”
Zhang Ruochen sighed.
He had figured out where Mu Lingxi was in his mind.
There was a history between the two.
The most crucial thing was that Zhang Ruochen wasn’t sure of was whether he could provide Mu Lingxi with a bright future or not. Besides, he had already had Huang Yanchen. If he got together with Mu Lingxi also, it might be unfair to Huang Yanchen. Wouldn’t it be too greedy?
Besides, there was still a huge problem in his life: Chi Yao.
Before he could solve the problem of Chi Yao, Zhang Ruochen couldn’t move on to love a woman.
As the figure of Chi Yao emerged in his mind, Zhang Ruochen quickly calmed himself down. He put all his feelings away and started to ponder what to do next.
There were dozens of immortal vampire great beings from Qingtian Tribe at the peak of Dragon Top Mountain. Aside from Ghost Fog and Qingtian Crown Prince, who were already killed, Princess Yanxin and Zuotian Blood Saint were still there.
Princess Yanxin saw Zhang Ruochen staring at her. She was terrified and kept retreating. She said with a trembling voice, “Zhang…Zhang Ruochen… I’m the sister of Qitian Crown Prince. There’ll be no benefits for you if you kill me. You’ll only make yourself another strong enemy.”
It wasn’t that Yanxin Princess didn’t want to get away from Dragon Top Mountain. Instead, the bodies of all the immortal vampires who tried to flee were pierced through Carnivorous Holy Flower, turning into its nutrients.
There was no way they could flee.
Zhang Ruochen looked calm and said, “I’m already a mortal enemy of immortal vampires. I won’t be able to change anything whether I kill you or not. Kill her, Carnivorous Holy Flower.”
All the branches of Carnivorous Holy Flower turned silver, and some of them were as thick as buckets, extending all the way from the peak to the mountainside.
Dragon Top Mountain that was around twenty thousand feet long was completely covered by the silver branches that looked like silver dragons.
The scene was incredible, and the forces coming from Carnivorous Holy Flower got stronger and stronger, which terrified even the beast kings.
Which was why all the savage beasts didn’t dare get into the mountain. Instead, they all stayed away.
Following Zhang Ruochen’s order, Carnivorous Holy Flower immediately mobilized more than ten of its branches and extended them toward Princess Yanxin, immediately enveloping her.
Princess Yanxin was ranked in the top one hundred on ‘Half-Saint Outer Rank,’ so she wouldn’t get killed without a fight.
She wielded a holy sword toward a branch, trying to slay her way out.
Peng Peng.
Her holy sword hit the silver branch, making a clacking sound, trembling the Holy Qi around them.
However, instead of cutting them, the holy sword could only leave shallow traces on the silver branches.
What Zhang Ruochen did infuriated all the immortal vampires.
A large group of immortal vampire monks dashed toward Dragon Top Mountain, led by two crown princes and one crown princess.
“I’ll fight you, Zhang Ruochen, if you want to make yourself an enemy against all the immortal vampires.”
A crown prince from Motian Tribe dived and landed on Dragon Top Mountain, trampling the mountain under him.
“Zhang Ruochen is extremely powerful. Don’t underestimate him. Let’s attack him together and save Princess Yanxin now.”
The crown princess from Huangtian Tribe dashed forward with a golden long blade in her hand. Her body multiplied, and nine bodies that looked exactly the same emerged, rushing toward where Princess Yanxin was.
“Qi Sheng has already learned that Qingtian Crown Prince died, and he’s rushing here. We don’t need to fight Zhang Ruochen to death at the moment. All we need to do is to stall him, and when Qi Sheng gets here, he’ll end Zhang Ruochen with no problem.”
Jingtian Crown Prince flew to the mountainside of Dragon Top Mountain. He took out a black scepter and stuck it to the ground.
And then, he reached out his hands and infused one of the green crystals with his mind power.
Hua La!
A trace of green light gushed out from the top of the scepter, piercing through the clouds and giving out strong power ripples.
Mud and stones on the ground gradually turned green, centering the scepter. Tthe green permeated.
At the next moment, the entire Dragon Top Mountain started to shake, and the ground at the mountainside started to crack. Green light came out of the cracks.
Those cracks gradually became wider. Dust and mud gushed out, and Dragon Top Mountain started to sink in the end.
The ground structure around Dragon Top Mountain was pretty stable. Every ordinary stone was as solid as iron, yet Jingtian Crown Prince was able to crack the ground, making the mountain sink.
How impressive is his mind power?
