God Emperor - Chapter 1598
Chapter 1598: The Identity of the Man in Gold
After walking out of Yin and Yang Palace, both Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin were relieved.
Ji Fanxin looked at Zhang Ruochen and apologized. “Sorry. It isn’t that I didn’t want to ambush Queen Lian, but there’s almost no chance for us to get out of Yin and Yang Palace. It isn’t worth the risk.”
Zhang Ruochen looked solemn. He didn’t say a word because he was in a bad mood.
One of the reasons was that Ji Fanxin didn’t help him when he needed it the most, but the bigger reason was that he had realized the gap between him and great beings like Queen Lian. He didn’t even stand a chance against her, no matter how many trump cards he had.
Their cultivations were too different.
Zhang Ruochen’s greatest enemy, Shang Ziyan, was at least as powerful as Queen Lian, if not stronger.
Fortunately, he was cautious enough after coming to Truth Heavenly Domain, otherwise, he would be powerless if he ran into Shang Ziyan.
“I must become a saint king as soon as possible.”
Zhang Ruochen felt that time was pressuring him.
Ji Fanxin didn’t know what Zhang Ruochen was thinking of, and she still thought he looked so serious because of Queen Lian.
After a while, she took a rectangular box out of her space bracelet and handed it to Zhang Ruochen. “It was my fault this time, and I owe you a huge favor. This is a Masculine Flower that’s fifty thousand years old. It should make up your masculine Qi once you refine it.”
Zhang Ruochen stopped thinking by himself after hearing that. He saw Ji Fanxin looking at him with comfort and concern, which suppressed his anger completely.
No wonder she’s a young leader of a large field. She has so many treasures.
A Masculine Flower that was fifty thousand years old was very rare, and it was tremendously valuable, which could help Zhang Ruochen refine the eleventh palm of Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm.
Zhang Ruochen took the rectangular box and put it in his space ring. He then said, “Not so fast. Queen Lian received a message before she could start. She said it was someone prominent. Do you know who that is?”
Ji Fanxin thought for a bit and said, “It’s got to be someone exceptional if Queen Lian took it so seriously. I need to go check who’s come to Heavenly Saint Market.”
Suddenly, Ji Fanxin looked to Zhang Ruochen and said, “Why did you take my Masculine Flower if your masculine Qi wasn’t absorbed?”
Zhang Ruochen had no intention of giving the flower back. He said, “Why did you give them a Six-Yao Ten Thousand Patterns Saint Weapon, Water Moon Saint Cup knowing I’m going to attack Yin and Yang Palace? Didn’t you just make them stronger?”
Ji Fanxin felt sorry about what she did to Zhang Ruochen. She didn’t keep asking for the Masculine Flower back. Instead, she said, “I messed with Water Moon Saint Cup so that Queen Lian won’t be able to refine it in a short time. It’ll take her at least three years to completely have Water Moon Saint Cup under her control. And, if she isn’t careful enough, the trick I did to Water Moon Saint Cup will injure her seriously.”
Zhang Ruochen was thrilled.
Ji Fanxin had fully prepared before going to Yin and Yang Palace, and she had some skills and tricks.
She behaved that way in Yin and Yang Palace probably because of how much she hated that place. Also, she really cared about Queen Danling’s safety.
After all, Ji Fanxin didn’t have any family growing up. Queen Danling was probably the closest person to family she had.
After the journey in Yin and Yang Palace, they knew each other better, Although Zhang Ruochen behaved recklessly during a crisis as if he was putting her down, she might have been trapped without Zhang Ruochen going with her instead of saving Queen Danling.
Without a doubt, Zhang Ruochen was calmer and able to think more clearly in the most dangerous environment, which was something she should learn.
Ji Fanxin thought and said, “You should know better about Yin and Yang Palace after getting in yourself. What’s your next plan?”
“It has nothing to do with you, does it?”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to tell Ji Fanxin his plan at all.
After all, he wasn’t that close to her.
If it were Ling Feiyu, she would’ve attacked Queen Lian without a second thought, and on the contrary, Ji Fanxin was hesitating thinking about the costs and benefits.
This was the difference between real friends and acquaintances.
Since they were only acquaintances, he couldn’t tell her everything.
Ji Fanxin frowned and realized she’d left a bad impression to Zhang Ruochen, but she would do the same thing if it happened again.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen leave, Ji Fanxin sighed, moved her mind power and yelled, “Who is it? Get out.”
Zhang Ruochen, who was walking away, stopped.
Ji Fanxin had better mind power than he did, so perhaps she’d found something irregular.
Zhang Ruochen released mind power and space domain, and he found that the space around them was covered by a strange power. His mind power only reached three hundred feet away.
“Someone used a treasure like Glass Sky-Sealing Dome to block me and Ji Fanxin. Did the powerful beings from Yin and Yang Palace notice our identity and catch up with us?”
Zhang Ruochen mobilized his saint Qi, and then, he wielded a space crack to break the seal.
“Can’t believe it’s that ugly maid who found me. Is she also a great being?”
They then heard a familiar laugh.
And then, the man in gold wearing a mask walked out of the dark. He had broad shoulders, showing up in front of Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin.
Zhang Ruochen was a bit surprised. “It’s you. Do you still have your eyes on Queen Danling?”
The man in gold looked to Queen Danling and smiled, “I wanted to buy Queen Danling to be my slave, but I’m more curious about you now. How can a half-step saint king have a Six-Yao Ten Thousand Patterns Saint Weapon? You have more treasures, don’t you?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “So what? They are mine. Are you going to seize them?”
“Of course. This is the law of nature! And besides, you did two things today that deserve execution. Do you really think you can get out of here alive?”
Obviously, the man in gold was a powerful being, and he sounded overbearing.
“What did I do that deserves execution?”
The man in gold said, “Firstly, you shouldn’t compete with me for the slave, which made you deserve death the most.
“Secondly, you exposed a valuable like a Six-Yao Ten Thousand Patterns Saint Weapon when you’re still so weak. Do you really think you can survive that?”
Since he had said he would kill Zhang Ruochen, he wouldn’t just stand there and wait for it to happen. He drew a line with his right hand and tore a crack that was five feet long in the space, wielding it toward the man in gold.
“You’re a space monk…”
The man in gold was shocked. He immediately performed a sophisticated body technique, surging to the sky like a trace of golden light and dodging the space crack.
The black skull seemed to have guessed that he would surge to the sky. He slapped the head of the man in gold with a ghost claw.
The black skull was as powerful as a fifth-step saint king, and its claw looked like five bone mountains diving, crushing the ground and exerting lots of pressure on the man in gold, forcing him to show his real power.
“Roc Wings Spread.”
A pair of golden wings emerged from the back of the man in gold. The light shone upon the sky and land as if he was an ancient roc. The saint might descended on the ground.
Boom!
The man in gold waved his palm, clashing with the claw print from the black skull, knocking the black skull back.
The man in gold stood in the sky with his wings spread, looked to Zhang Ruochen like a Golden Roc Godly King and said, “Now that you know who I am, give me that bone scepter, then I can give you a fast death.”
Zhang Ruochen was dazed first, then he smiled. “It’s Golden Roc Prince. Interesting, interesting. Seems like it’s not my fight today. I can just stand by and enjoy the show.”
Zhang Ruochen then picked up Yi Emperor Bone Scepter, stepped aside with no intention of continuing to fight. He said, “He’s your pursuer, then you can deal with him.”
Golden Roc Prince had a solid background and identity, and he was a grandson of a God. Besides, he was also very powerful himself. Even if the half-step saint king practiced Way of Time, he should at least be scared of him.
Also, why did he say something that didn’t seem to make sense at all?
Just as Golden Roc Prince was confused, he looked to the ugly girl near him, dazed.
That ugly girl suddenly became an ethereal woman, engulfed in light rain. It was Hundred Flower Fairy, Ji Fanxin, the girl from his dreams.
