God Emperor - Chapter 1395
Chapter 1395: Han Qiu’s Plot
Some dark power flowed out of Han Qiu’s body. She said, “Am I nothing but a subordinate to you? You should know what I want. If you agree to that, I’ll do anything for you.”
Zhang Ruochen said calmly, “The members of Guarding Dragon Pavilion are all very independent, so technically, you guys are not my subordinates, but my protectors. You can even refuse to follow some of my orders, and you don’t need to salute me unless you want to. As long as you can become the leader of Guarding Dragon Pavilion, you’ll be at my level. Of course, when my descendants and I need you, you need to show up for them in time.”
“So what? I want…”
Han Qiu paused, smiled and said, “Protectors? Sure, I can agree to that.”
Han Qiu changed her narrative because Huang Yanchen and Zhang Ruochen had become strangers, so this was her best chance.
If she chose to leave Zhang Ruochen now, some other girl might swoop in and become the second Huang Yanchen, like that saintess from the demonic sect.
If Zhang Ruochen realized her worth and became dependent on her, she would become the crown prince wife, and that so-called Mu Lingxi wouldn’t be her match.
Han Qiu blinked her eyes and said, “I heard you’re going to Peakless Mountain on the seventh day next month for Mu Lingxi. Are you going there to fulfill a promise?”
“That’s right,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Han Qiu said, “If you want me to join Guarding Dragon Pavilion and become a protector of the royalty, you must give me a promise as well.”
“Which is?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Han Qiu pressed her breasts against Zhang Ruochen’s chest, looked up at Zhang Ruochen’s face with her glinting eyes, and said, “If I become stronger than the leader of Guarding Dragon Pavilion one day, then I’ll not only become the leader of the pavilion, but also be a member of the royal family. Do you know what I’m implying?”
“If you can actually become that strong, you’ll certainly become a member of the royal family,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Han Qiu’s eyes glinted with joy. She said, “Okay, I’ll be willing do everything for you given what you’ve just promised. You only need to know that I’m the one who loves you the most. As long as you treat me well, I’ll never betray you like Huang Yanchen did, which is why there’s got to be a place for me in the royal palace of the Sacred Central Empire. The fight against Fire Tribe and Demonic Sect will be tough, but I have an idea for how to kill half of the Fire Tribe beforehand.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes glinted, and he said, “What idea?”
Han Qiu said, “The Fire Tribe was conquered by Fengdu Ghost City, and all the ghosts were killed. Even Ghost King Shenchu was suppressed. I was also in Fengdu Ghost City, and I saw Ghost King Shenchu captured.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Ghost King Shenchu was already a pinnacle six-trial ghost king, making it one of the most powerful great beings under supreme saints, yet Fire Tribe was able to suppress it? Impressive.”
“Fire Tribe used a supreme saint weapon, Saint Refining Pot, to suppress Ghost King Shenchu,” Han Qiu said.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Incredible that Fire Tribe also has their hands on a supreme saint weapon. No wonder they’re so proud.”
Han Qiu continued, “I heard that Ghost King Shenchu is being detained in the territory of the Fire Tribe, Fiery Territory. If we can release it, there’ll be chaos throughout the entire territory. I reckon at least half of those in the Fire Tribe will get killed.”
Zhang Ruochen was a bit curious and said, “Why didn’t they refine Ghost King Shenchu if they have Saint Refining Pot?”
“From what I heard from the Fire Tribe, Ghost King Shenchu is a trace of the will of a God, which became a six-trial ghost king, which is why it’s way stronger than other six-trial ghost kings, and it’s able to fight a supreme saint temporarily. Fire Tribe captured and imprisoned it because they wanted to know how to become a God,” Han Qiu said.
Han Qiu was obviously well-prepared before coming to see Zhang Ruochen. She wanted to show Zhang Ruochen by bringing up Ghost King Shenchu that she was someone who could actually help him, not like other girls.
Zhang Ruochen thought for a while and said, “Fire Tribe will definitely guard someone like Ghost King Shenchu very strictly. Do you really think you can release it?”
“I’ll take any risk for you, and besides, I can open the door to the netherworld using my darkness body and darkness way. I have a thirty percent chance to succeed,” Han Qiu said.
“Only thirty percent? Do you even know what would happen to you if you failed?”
Zhang Ruochen was very meticulous, so he never took chances.
Thirty percent was too low for him.
Han Qiu smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter how high the chance is. As long as I can seize the chance, I can succeed even if it’s only ten percent.”
“Just wait for a while. When that person comes, ask him to go there with you. Perhaps your chance will get to seventy percent.” Zhang Ruochen looked to the sky expectantly.
Han Qiu didn’t know who Zhang Ruochen was referring to, but it had to be someone huge.
He needed to fight both the Demonic Sect and Fire Tribe, who would be helped by a large group of great beings next month, which was indeed a stressful thing.
If he could manage to ravage the Fire Tribe beforehand, Zhang Ruochen would have less pressure.
Besides, it was also a good chance to test the power of the Fire Tribe and whether they had some supreme saints with them.
Zhang Ruochen then summoned all the previous officials from the Sacred and gathered them in front of Xuanyuan Palace.
Zhang Ruochen said, “The world you were living in is called Universe World. Sacred City will definitely be ravaged by First Central Empire starting tomorrow, so everyone, bring your people into Universe World, inside which you can reestablish your families, and build your sects and cities. All the spiritual mountains will be open to you.”
Some people asked as they found it hard to believe, “Really? All my people can get into Universe World?”
“That’s right,” Zhang Ruochen said.
The master of Cai family was a bit worried. “But our Cai family is enormous. There’re at least one hundred million people everywhere in Tiantai Continent. It’s impossible to gather all of them.”
“Same for our Yan family…”
Zhang Ruochen said, “There’s no need to rush. Please go gather all your people in the next half a month, and I’ll bring them into the Universe World, but please be quick. If you can’t gather them in half a month, we can only meet in Peakless Mountain next month.”
All the leaders of their families and organizations rushed out and started to notify their people, and they also sent signal flares to their mansions.
The world door of Universe World was put in front of Xuanyuan Palace, and monks walked through the door and into that new land.
Zhang Ruochen asked Princess White Li to take charge of the order in Universe World, and then, he walked to the Emperor Shrine with Mingjiang King.
“Do you really trust me that much? Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you in the Emperor Shrine?” Mingjiang said with his hands behind his back.
Zhang Ruochen said calmly, “Do you think the saint intent of our ancestors will spare you if you kill me? Those previous officials from the Sacred Central Empire are not people it would be possible for you to suppress.”
Mingjiang King smiled gently. “Haha! You’re a grown-up now, and I can’t intimidate you anymore. You’re able to support an empire now. You’re now much more revered by those previous officials of the Sacred Central Empire after the battle in Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion. The leader of the Crypt of Sacred Central.”
“What’re they saying?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Mingjiang King smiled. “Obviously they’re also thrilled by that battle, and they want to come see you through me.”
“Did you say no?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Mingjiang King nodded and said, “They didn’t help us at all when we were fighting Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion. We can’t let people like that into Universe World and the Sacred.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “They will have another chance on the seventh day next month. Let’s see whether they can seize the chance or not.”
As long as the Crypt of Sacred Central was willing to fight with Zhang Ruochen, he would definitely receive them for the sake of Kong Lanyou.
Universe World and Divine Sky-connecting Tree would no longer be a secret tomorrow.
It would be up to them to choose.
Zhang Ruochen and Mingjiang King walked into the sacred mountain and bowed toward the spirit tablets of all their ancestors.
Zhang Ruochen then looked to the coffin under the altar, and he looked more and more serious.
Mingjiang King also noticed that coffin. “Whose coffin is it? Why is it in the Emperor Shrine?”
“Perhaps we can only get the answer after opening it.”
Zhang Ruochen released saint Qi and wound the coffin with it, and he dragged it from the saint light.
Mingjiang King was dazed seeing ‘Chen’ on the coffin. “My brother wrote it. It was brother who wrote it.”
“Father.”
Zhang Ruochen was confused, excited, and also a bit afraid.
