“Where’s the other Green Eyes Blue Blood Marble?” the Corpse Emperor muttered to himself. He looked up toward the outside of the city and reached out a white hand.

Outside, Princess White Li, Sun Dadi, and the Sikong Two were fighting intensely with the Ghost Cultivation Race.

Princess White Li had attacked because the bloodshed by the Ghost Cultivation Race had infuriated her. She wanted to teach them a lesson.

With the power of the three top figures, they actually stopped all the strongest fighters of the ancient race, making them unable to escape.

Whoosh!

A Green Eyes Blue Blood Marble flew out of Princess Feng Yinchan’s body. It passed over the towering city wall and landed in the Corpse Emperor’s hand.

The cultivators outside the city finally sensed the powerful aura coming from the Corpse Emperor. It was so terrifying that even Pre-Saints felt fear.

“What’s happening?”

Sun Dadi and Sikong Two sensed that there might be a huge change within the city. They stopped blocking the Ghost Cultivation Race cultivators. Like two beams of light, they rushed inside the city.

Princess White Li’s pretty eyes looked at the ancient city too. She retreated and used the Short Distance Poles Apart technique, arriving at the city center even before Sun Dadi and Sikong Two.

“Who is it with such a strong and terrifying aura?” Sun Dadi was covered in goosebumps as soon as he entered the city.

A gust of cold Qi rushed into his head. He felt the urge to turn and run even before he saw the Corpse Emperor.

“The more terrifying the enemy is, the more we should hurry over. Senior Uncle and his few men probably can’t handle them.”

Sikong Two grabbed Sun Dadi and forged on. They didn’t stop until they were hundreds of feet away from the Corpse Emperor.

“Finally together!” The Corpse Emperor held a Green Eyes Blue Blood Marble in each hand and pressed them onto his eyes.

The marbles fit perfectly with his eyes. They grew translucent and brilliant, like two pieces of lively jade. Zhang Ruochen knew that the Corpse Emperor’s eyes were very dangerous. They could unleash the power to kill lower level Saints.

The Corpse Emperor’s eyes landed on Zhang Ruochen and he nodded softly. “I have always been inside the Green Eyes Blue Blood Marbles, but I’ve heard of your name before. Saint Monk Xumi chose you as his heir. This means that he believes you can replace him in managing the order of time and space in Kunlun’s Field.”

“You have met Saint Monk Xumi before?” Zhang Ruochen didn’t back off. He met eyes with the Corpse Emperor. His gaze carried sharp strength.

“I saw him once.” The Corpse Emperor was very graceful and had a classy and elegant temperament. “Because of Saint Monk Xumi, I won’t make it hard for you juniors.”

Despite his words, Zhang Ruochen still didn’t lower his guard. The Holy Qi within him was on high alert to respond to any sudden attacks.

The Corpse Emperor was very handsome. He strode forward powerfully, robe fluttering, and walked toward the city gates. The cultivators of the Necromancer Race fell into panic. Wouldn’t they be unprotected before Zhang Ruochen once the Corpse Emperor left?

“Your Majesty, please take us with you!” a Necromancer Pre-Saint called out.

The Corpse Emperor clearly had something important to do. He didn’t plan on taking the cultivators of the Necromancer Race. Without looking back, he said, “Zhang Ruochen, if you are let go, then let the others go as well. If we meet again, it will not be life-or-death either.”

The voice grew thinner and thinner until it disappeared with the Corpse Emperor’s figure.

Finally, Blackie let out a long sigh as if having received salvation. “I suspect that the Corpse Emperor doesn’t really want to let us go. It’s just that he was given a new life and wasn’t confident in killing all of us.”

Zhang Ruochen nodded. “Don’t say it, even if you know it. Once you say it, we can only fight him to the death.”

Without a doubt, the Corpse Emperor’s abilities had surpassed the top-tier’s level. However, Zhang Ruochen’s group wasn’t weak either. They couldn’t be defeated so easily. Zhang Ruochen, Blackie, and Princess White Li were top-tier figures. If the two Sikongs worked together, they counted as top-tier as well.

With such a powerful force, even the Corpse Emperor would only have a 50% chance of winning if they started fighting. He wasn’t stupid. He’d waited for 70,000 years to receive a new life and live again. How could he do something without much confidence?

Naturally, Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to go up against the Corpse Emperor either. Once they fell into a life-or-death battle, they would suffer great losses even if they could force the Corpse Emperor back. More than half of them might die.

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t take losses like this. Neither party wanted to fight or thought that it was necessary.

Sikong One rubbed his hands. “Emperor Tianming has been dead for 70,000 years and was reincarnated to live a second life. This world is becoming stranger and stranger. Could it be as my master said, that there must be a fall if one rises too far. There will be an enormous trial after the golden era?”

In his previous life, the Corpse Emperor had been Emperor Tianming—the first human emperor after the middle ages.

“In other eras, each one of the nine Heirs would be undefeatable within their generation,” Sun Dadi said. “But in this era, there is a large group of people like them. Even those not from this era force themselves in. Is this truly a coincidence?”

As Sun Dadi spoke, he glanced at Zhang Ruochen meaningfully. Whether it was the ancient races among the savage beasts, or Emperor Tianming and Zhang Ruochen from the human race, none of them belonged to this era.

However, they’d all appeared now. This wasn’t normal at all.

Blackie’s expression was serious. “The Corpse Emperor must want to steal the World Spirit of the Blue Dragon Void World. Only then can he reach the state he was in quickly.”

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s depart as well.” Sun Dadi was excited. He knew that the capital of the Blue Dragon Dynasty was where everyone was gathered and he couldn’t wait to hurry over.

“No hurry. There is still some time before the World Spirit will show itself. There’s no need for us to hurry over now.”

Zhang Ruochen had wanted to reach the capital as soon as possible, but he changed his mind after seeing the Corpse Emperor.

A while later, there would be bloodshed in the capital. The stronger one was, the more advantages one would have. Zhang Ruochen decided to use all the divine medicine within the scroll world to raise everyone’s cultivations.

He was also waiting for the blooming period of the Carnivorous Holy Flower to end. Once it bore a fruit, Zhang Ruochen would be confident in countering the Corpse Emperor even if they were alone.

Then Zhang Ruochen looked at the cultivators of the Necromancer Race.

“Boss, are we really letting them go?” Sun Dadi asked.

“There’s no need to offend the Corpse Emperor now,” Huang Yanchen said. “If we fight against the Corpse Emperor, it’ll only make it easier for the other forces.”

“Then, let them leave,” Zhang Ruochen decided. “However, they must leave behind all the treasures they found.”

“Hehe.”

Blackie, Sun Dadi, Sikong One, and Zhao Shiqi all smiled in excitement. They rushed into the crowd of Necromancers and started robbing them. A while later, there was a huge mountain inside the manor. It was all saint stones, jades, pill bottles, and saint weapons. Each piece could be sold for a great price in Kunlun’s Field.

Some Necromancer Half-Saints tried to fight back. Zhang Ruochen attacked without hesitation and killed them. Using them to make a statement, the other Necromancers all knelt down in fear. They didn’t dare to even think about protesting.

The three men and one cat were like bandits. They swiped everything from the Necromancer cultivators. Practically only their clothes were left.

The Necromancers were depressed. They felt extremely mistreated. They’d come to the Blue Dragon Void World and ran around everywhere, fighting everywhere. They’d shed so much blood, sweat, and tears to collect all these treasures.

Now, the treasures were all taken away, along with the treasures that they’d brought here with them.

“Okay, you can go now!” Zhang Ruochen waved his hand, signaling for them to leave.

The Necromancers gazed at the treasures piled up in the manor longingly. They couldn’t move at all. They wanted to take back one or two.

“What are you looking at?” Sikong One yelled. “Stop thinking about things that don’t belong to you. I’ve never seen people as greedy as you all.”

The Necromancers didn’t dare to keep looking. They turned their eyes and hurriedly escaped from the city, afraid that Zhang Ruochen would change his mind.

Blackie hurried back from outside the city in a streak of light. It shook its head at Zhang Ruochen. “The Ghost Cultivation Race has already run far away. It’s hard to catch up.”

“Then we won’t deal with them. The treasures we’ve collected this time are already a lot.”

The Ghost Cultivation Race had left in a hurry. They didn’t take that much away. Most of the treasures of the city were piled inside the manor. There was a rich variety; there were even dozens of divine medicines.

Zhang Ruochen put the saint stones, jades, and weapons into the scroll world. He also planted the medicine into the divine medicine garden. Then he divided the other treasures between everyone according to their contributions.

After all this, Zhang Ruochen sent Sun Dadi and Zhao Shiqi out. He ordered them to search for information in the Blue Dragon Dynasty’s capital and have an idea of the situation.

After they left, Huang Yanchen walked out. “You put them beside you. This means that many people will guess that Gu Linfeng, Deity of the Blood God Sect, is Zhang Ruochen.”

“Gu Linfeng’s identity is indeed still valuable.” Thinking for a moment, Zhang Ruochen decided, “After they return from the capital, I’ll send them into the scroll world to cultivate.”

The Blood God Sect had a secret with the Bottomless Abyss. Zhang Ruochen still wanted to investigate it after returning to Kunlun’s Field. It would be easier to use Gu Linfeng’s identity.

After settling everything, Zhang Ruochen entered the scroll world. He isolated himself again to open the 36 meridians in his limbs.

At the same time, Blackie entered the divine medicine garden. It picked some divine leaves to produce a pill that could improve everyone’s cultivations a bit more.

The final battle of the Blue Dragon Void World was about to come. All the forces hurried over to the Blue Dragon Dynasty. The stronger one was, the higher the possibility of stealing the World Spirit.
