God Emperor - Chapter 2395
Chapter 2395: An Audacious Act
“Zhang Ruochen, you… you’re courting death. You’ll be dead. You should be cut into a thousand pieces…”
Yan Huangtu was trembling with anger. He couldn’t help but curse and even speak incoherently.
From the moment Yan Huangtu knew that Yan Zhexian might be captured, he had thought of all kinds of possibilities. However, he felt that Zhang Ruochen should know how important Yan Zhexian was in the Yanluo clan. There was no way he could kill her. At most, he could injure her and imprison her.
Therefore, Yan Huangtu was not particularly worried about Yan Zhexian’s safety.
However, Yan Huangtu did not expect Zhang Ruochen to be so crazy. He actually… actually made Yan Zhexian carry his child in her belly. How long had she been pregnant?
Had she been forced? Had she been wronged?
Yan Huangtu knew that Yan Zhexian loathed Zhang Ruochen. She couldn’t have a good impression of him, let alone give birth to his child.
‘That’s right!
‘She must have been forced.
‘Xian ‘er must have suffered a lot.’
Yan Huangtu was furious at the thought.
You, Zhang Ruochen, used to be the Divine Envoy of Moon Goddess. How could she have a Divine Envoy like you? You have completely disgraced Moon Goddess! You have also disgraced Wargod Bloodximius!
‘How could you be such a beast?’ Yan Huangtu thought angrily.
Yan Huangtu gritted his teeth until they were about to break. Suddenly, he felt a weak spatial fluctuation coming from his side.
Whoosh
Zhang Ruochen crossed the Spatial Wormhole Mirror and appeared in front of him. Ten dimensional chains had already wrapped around the Pleiades Lotus.
…
Although Yan Huangtu had taken the Pleiades Lotus, he hadn’t had time to refine the vessel spirit, so he couldn’t control it as he wished. The dimensional chains wrapped around him and dragged him away.
“Zhang Ruochen, how dare you attack first!” said Yan Huangtu.
Yan Huangtu responded quickly. He dashed out the door, clutching the Pleiades Lotus in his hands. While gathering power in his right arm, he released dazzling golden light and divine power. He pushed out with his palm.
Yan Huangtu didn’t attack Zhang Ruochen. He attacked the Pleiades Lotus instead.
Yan Huangtu, who had been through countless battles, could make the most rational and accurate judgments even in his most angry moments.
Zhang Ruochen frowned. He moved faster than Yan Huangtu and protected the Pleiades Lotus. He threw a punch toward Yan Huangtu’s palm strike.
“You’ll be in a mess if you care. Zhang Ruochen, you’ve been tricked!”
Yan Huangtu’s voice came from above Zhang Ruochen’s head. Holding the Scepter of Heaven’s Pass, he hacked downward with Supreme Power.
“There are two Yan Huangtu!” Zhang Ruochen exclaimed.
Zhang Ruochen was taken aback. He didn’t freak out. The fist power has yet to return. It collided with Yan Huangtu in front of him, sending him flying for dozens of miles like a cannonball.
When the Scepter of Heaven’s Pass struck, Zhang Ruochen had already released the Profound Spatial Dimension, freezing the space layer by layer.
Bang Bang
The Supreme Power was unstoppable.
The frozen space was pierced through and fell on top of Zhang Ruochen’s head.
Even if Zhang Ruochen had a Demigod-level physique, he would be severely injured if he was hit by the Supreme Artifact.
Zhang Ruochen waved the Violet Gourd and clashed with the Scepter of Heaven’s Pass.
The two Supreme Artifacts made a deafening sound of a collision. All the Bone Clan cultivators standing nearby were knocked back.
The Violet Gourd’s Supreme Inscription, after all, hadn’t fully recovered. It was unable to obstruct the Scepter of Heaven’s Pass. Zhang Ruochen fell for more than 70 miles before regaining his footing.
His body was covered in bloody scars.
His arm, which was holding the Violet Gourd, was bleeding from the Supreme Power’s attack.
Zhang Ruochen sighed. “I can’t underestimate you. I didn’t expect you to have a hidden card.”
Just now, Zhang Ruochen had predicted that Yan Huangtu would be angry.
Once he was angry, his rationality and judgment would be affected.
Therefore, he seized the opportunity to take the Pleiades Lotus by surprise. Unfortunately, he had underestimated Yan Huangtu’s battle awareness. He could maintain his best fighting state even in the angriest moment.
The Eight Sons of Life and Death was far from him in this aspect. That was why they were defeated by Zhang Ruochen in an instant.
What was even more shocking was Yan Huangtu.
Ever since the last fight, Yan Huangtu had studied repeatedly to think of a strategy to deal with Zhang Ruochen. He had revealed his biggest trump card, the Great Demonic Shadow, to heavily wound Zhang Ruochen.
However, after being hit by the Supreme Artifact, Zhang Ruochen had only received a minor injury… No…
All the minor injuries were gone!
Just now, the wounds on Zhang Ruochen’s body healed in an instant. The blood that had escaped also flowed back into his body.
In this exchange, both of them were surprised. It seemed that Zhang Ruochen had suffered a slight loss, but he had successfully taken back the Pleiades Lotus.
In this way, the one who suffered a loss was Yan Huangtu.
‘Compared to the fight in the Dracopent Temple, Zhang Ruochen’s power has improved a lot. It’s going to be difficult to deal with him now!’ Yan Huangtu thought.
During the fight in the Dracopent Temple, Yan Huangtu’s power was far greater than Zhang Ruochen’s.
At that time, Zhang Ruochen had relied on his speed and dimensional advantage to force Yan Huangtu to take a beating.
However, in the previous exchange, Yan Huangtu’s real body had been sent flying by Zhang Ruochen’s punch. The strength advantage that Yan Huangtu was most proud of had been surpassed by Zhang Ruochen. His state of mind had suffered a certain blow.
Fortunately, there were still a large number of powerful figures from the Yanluo clan and the Bone Clan present. Yan Huangtu still had full confidence in suppressing… No, killing Zhang Ruochen.
If Yan Huangtu didn’t kill Zhang Ruochen, the hatred in his heart couldn’t be dispelled.
If Yan Huangtu didn’t kill Zhang Ruochen, how would the Yanluo clan retain their dignity?
…
The cultivators of the entire Infernal Court were shocked.
It wasn’t because of the short battle between Zhang Ruochen and Yan Huangtu. The two were indeed stunning. However, compared to Yan Zhexian, their battle was nothing.
Many of them were even more furious than Yan Huangtu.
“Zhang Ruochen is a cultivator from the Celestial Court. How dare he be so arrogant in the Infernal Court? Supreme Saint Zhexian is the favored daughter of the Yanluo clan. She’s a thousand or ten thousand times nobler than the princesses of the big countries. How dare he humiliate her?”
“Outrageous. I’m going to report this to Lord Qianmo. Lord Qianmo has always regarded Supreme Saint Zhexian as his confidante. Knowing this, he’ll definitely personally cut Zhang Ruochen into pieces.”
“It is said that as a result of Zhang Ruochen’s affair with the Fairy Shadowless, cultivators from all realms in the Celestial Court labeled him the number one traitor of the Yuanhui period and formed an alliance to eliminate him. I propose that cultivators from the Infernal Court take similar action.”
“An outsider who lives under someone else’s roof dares to misbehave in the Infernal Court. He should be taught a lesson.”
“Just a lesson? In my opinion, we should take his blood, crush his bones, and devour his soul.”
…
Because of Lian Xi, Zhang Ruochen became the common enemy of all Celestial Court cultivators.
Because of Yan Zhexian, Zhang Ruochen became the common enemy of all the cultivators of the Infernal Court. Especially the cultivators of the Yanluo clan, the reaction was the most intense. They had already gathered and went to the temple to petition the gods and execute Zhang Ruochen in the cruelest way possible.
Wargod Bloodximius, Lord Ming, and Blood Empress were also shocked by Yan Zhexian’s bulging belly.
After a while, Wargod Bloodximius sat upright and pretended to be calm, “I underestimated this kid. There’s no need to arrange a marriage for him. I’ve already found a suitable partner. Yan Zhexian isn’t bad. She’s good enough for my grandson.”
“If he’s good enough, he can do whatever he wants?”
A rather stern voice appeared in the divinity world.
The gods of the Bloodysky Clan all stood up and looked to the west.
They saw an imposing figure forcefully enter the god realm of Wargod Bloodximius. His face was slightly old, but he was full of energy. His long black hair fell to the ground.
He was Yanluo clan’s Ancient God of Knowledge.
He was here to punish him!
An ancient god was at least a god who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years.
The Yanluo clan held Ancient God of Knowledge in high regard. He was in charge of the clan’s instruction. Countless gods had listened to his sermons. It had been heard twice by Wargod Bloodximius.
Wargod Bloodximius was considered a young and frivolous person among gods. However, in front of a sage-like Ancient God of Knowledge, he couldn’t be so frivolous.
Ancient God of Knowledge said, “Xue Jue, Zhang Ruochen’s talent is very high. His future has unlimited possibilities. I can understand why you are indulging him. In the Battle of Celestial-Hunting, the gods couldn’t interfere. The participants were responsible for their own lives. This was something the Yanluo clan could accept. However, there was a bottom line. Killing people was fine, but insulting the Yanluo clan’s women. Do you think he deserved to die?”
The gods didn’t dare to speak.
Ancient God of Knowledge had always been gentle. He had never killed. He was as pure as the snow in Infernal Court. This was the first time the gods had seen him get so angry.
The mighty divine might he released shook the entire divinity world.
“Ancient God of Knowledge’s words are too harsh,” said Wargod Bloodximius with a smile. “Zhang Ruochen’s personality is like mine. He seems arrogant, but in reality, everything he does is carefully thought through. He wouldn’t do something that would insult the Yanluo clan. I believe they’re in love.”
Ancient God of Knowledge stared at him.
Wargod Bloodximius pretended not to see him and continued, “One of them is a talented Talisman Master, and she’s extremely beautiful. The other is the most outstanding person in the Yuanhui period, handsome and free. Aren’t they a match by heaven?”
Ancient God of Knowledge certainly hoped that this would be the case.
If Yan Zhexian and Zhang Ruochen were in love and had a child, it would be a good thing for everyone. With Zhang Ruochen’s talent, the Yanluo clan could not ignore him. They were eager to take him in.
Ancient God of Knowledge’s anger subsided a little. He said, “If Zhang Ruochen forcefully insulted Xian ‘er, it would be useless. Xue Jue, you’d better be mentally prepared.”
Suddenly, an old and distant voice entered the divinity world. “The baby in Yan Zhexian’s stomach is the reincarnation of the Madre Bloody Shadow. Yan Zhexian had taken the opportunity of the Immortal Vampires’ home planet!”
Hearing this voice, all the gods of the Bloodysky Clan, except for the Wargod Bloodximius, bowed.
It was the Yanluo clan leader’s voice.
“I didn’t expect that this matter would alarm the leader of the Yanluo clan.” The gods looked at each other.
Wargod Bloodximius laughed. “Haha! Now it’s explained clearly. My grandson is indeed innocent. Ancient God, your Yanluo clan has gained a great advantage this time. You actually obtained the opportunity of the Immortal Vampires’ home planet.”
The anger in the eyes of the Ancient God of Knowledge disappeared completely, but he still pretended to be angry, he said in a deep voice, “If the Madre Bloody Shadow wants to reincarnate, she must need a large amount of blood from the Immortal Vampires. How dare you say that the baby in her belly has nothing to do with Zhang Ruochen?”
Besides, many eyes in Celestial and Infernal Court have seen it. Can this be explained clearly? Can this be explained?”
Of course not.
If it was announced to the public that Yan Zhexian had the reincarnation of the Madre Bloody Shadow in her belly, it would be very dangerous for Yan Zhexian. It was enough to attract the gods to take a risk.
In short, Zhang Ruochen had to take the blame.
Ancient God of Knowledge said, “There is only one way to solve this problem. Zhang Ruochen will join the Yanluo clan.”
“Join?” asked Wargod Bloodximius.
Wargod Bloodximius laughed. This old man seemed to be honest and kind, but he was full of deceit. He wanted to abduct Zhang Ruochen, a top genius, and take him under the Yanluo clan.
“No, no. My grandson can’t join another clan. We can’t afford to throw away our reputation.”
When Wargod Bloodximius said this, he sent a voice transmission to Luo Yan.
Even the Ancient God of Knowledge, a respected god, was shameless enough to try to steal Zhang Ruochen. Wargod Bloodximius suddenly felt that he had underestimated the influence of Zhang Ruochen’s successful integration of the sixth Saintwill.
He was now a rare commodity!
Ancient God of Knowledge said sternly, “Can the Yanluo clan afford to lose face? Even if it was explained to the outside world that they were in love, the cultivators in the world would think that it was the Yanluo clan’s woman who took the initiative to fall in love with Zhang Ruochen. Only Zhang Ruochen’s marriage can make up for this negative influence.”
“There’s a reason that you didn’t know. The reason why I opposed it.”
Since the fault wasn’t on his side, Wargod Bloodximius no longer felt guilty and addressed himself as “I”.
Ancient God of Knowledge asked, “What reason?”
Before Wargod Bloodximius could speak, Luo Yan’s sky-shaking divine voice erupted, “There’s always a first come, first served, right? Zhang Ruochen has long been engaged to my daughter, Luo Sha. Even if the women of the Yanluo clan are pregnant, they’ll have to wait in the back row.”
Ancient God of Knowledge looked doubtful. “Already engaged?”
How could he be engaged? It would be strange if Luo Yan agreed to this marriage before Zhang Ruochen had successfully fused with the Grade Two Saintwill. Therefore, the Ancient God of Knowledge didn’t believe it.
Amane followed Luo Yan. She was dignified and beautiful. As a junior, she wasn’t as arrogant as Wargod Bloodximius. She bowed respectfully to the Ancient God of Knowledge and said, “This is absolutely true. Master personally instructed me to do it.”
Amane’s master was, of course, Fukurokuju.
This marriage was the blessing that Fukurokuju had bestowed upon Zhang Ruochen.
If Fukurokuju personally arranged the marriage, it would be the same as announcing to the outside world that there were three forces behind Zhang Ruochen. They are Fortune Palace, Devala, and the Xue Jue family.
At that time, any god who wanted to touch Zhang Ruochen would have to think carefully.
Amane’s words surprised even Wargod Bloodximius. He thought to himself, ‘No wonder the marriage was so smooth. It was the Reverend’s idea. Now Zhang Ruochen had some defensive means!’
Ancient God of Knowledge said, “They are not officially engaged, and the outside world doesn’t know. I think we can make way. After all, the Yanluo Clan’s favored daughter is already pregnant.”
“I’m sorry, I can’t make way! I won’t object if the Yanluo girl wants to marry Zhang Ruochen, but she can only be a consort. I also want to save face. My daughter must be the most honorable mistress when she marries,” Luo Yan said firmly.
Wargod Bloodximius had already sat back down as if it had nothing to do with him. With a smile on his face, he looked at the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting, but his eyes suddenly shrank as if he had seen something incredible.
Great changes had happened in the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting.
