God Emperor

Chapter 1340: South Cliff

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

“With your abilities, going against a True Saint is no different than going to die.” Zhu Qingyi sat on the ground with a cold smirk on her face. “A True Saint is on a completely different level from a Heaven Pass Saint. Those who can reach this level are all old creatures who have cultivated for centuries. A Heaven Pass Blood Realm has to bow down before a True Saint.”

Boom

A beam of red light fell from the sky. It landed in the nearby ruins and consolidated into Martial Saint Canglan’s tall figure.

A gust of strong, aggressive and heavy power spread naturally. It made her seem like a towering divine mountain that people could only look up to.

“Zhang Ruochen,” she said. “How about we work together again?”

“How should we work together?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“Fight Situ Fengcheng together. You save the person while the Fengtian Sword goes to me.”

“Can you guard the Fengtian Sword?”

This question hit Martial Saint Canglan’s sore spot. Coldness appeared in her eyes and she huffed. “Last time, I was careless. It won’t happen again.”

Zhang Ruochen studied her for a moment. Nodding, he said, “Fine. I’ll trust you again. Let’s see if your performance in this battle qualifies you to be the guardian of the Fengtian Sword.”

Martial Saint Canglan ground her teeth in anger. With her current cultivation, no one except Zhang Ruochen dared to speak to her like this.

However, losing the Fengtian Sword was indeed a flaw in her path on the Saintly Way. It almost gave her a mental breakdown. She could only remove this flaw by personally taking the Fengtian Sword back.

Zhu Qingyi could see that Martial Saint Canglan had already entered the Heaven Pass Realm. With her combat ability due to the True Phoenix Body, she probably wasn’t any weaker than a True Saint.

“You’re not going to only face one True Saint. If you want to save the person and sword, it’ll be like an egg hitting a rock.” Zhu Qingyi didn’t have high hopes for them.

Her senior brother’s abilities were comparable to Martial Saint Canglan. Plus, he also had a Sword Saint blood slave. Zhang Ruochen and Martial Saint Canglan were far from enough.

Suddenly, Zhu Qingyi’s eyes narrowed. She vaguely heard armor and horse hooves clattering. It sounded like an army of thousands of soldiers. The presence was shocking.

When she looked in the direction of the sound, she didn’t see a huge army at all. Instead, she saw a huge figure in black armor come in the wind and sand. Various battle shadows kept appearing and disappearing behind him. The sounds of war were actually formed by his aura.

A strong cultivator. This was definitely a strong cultivator.

When Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen saw this man, their tensed expressions relaxed slightly. They both smiled and said in unison, “First Senior Brother.”

The newcomer was the first disciple of Sword Saint Xuanji, Qing Xiao.

“I heard that Seventh Junior Sister was in trouble, so I hurried over from Zhilin Pass. I feel reassured to see that you two are unharmed.” Qing Xiao studied Zhang Ruochen carefully and smiled. “Along the way, I heard that you actually killed Qi Zhenhuan. Shall we have a friendly fight when we have the chance?”

“We’ll definitely have the chance, but there’s something more important right now.” Then Zhang Ruochen told Qing Xiao about Shi Ren.

Qing Xiao turned serious. “I also have bad news from the eastern region. The royal family of Qianshui Commandery was massacred. Seventh Junior Sister’s parents, Qianshui Commandery Prince and Half-Saint Liuli are missing. They might’ve been captured by the Immortal Vampires.”

He didn’t hide it from Huang Yanchen because she would find out sooner or later.

“How...can this be?”

When Huang Yanchen heard this news, it felt like she’d been struck by lightning. She instantly paled and couldn’t even stand up straight anymore.

Zhang Ruochen hurriedly went to support her waist. He embraced her, feeling more guilt inside.

“This is most likely Situ Fengcheng’s doing,” Qing Xiao said. “I’ve fought him more than once, so I have some understanding of him. This man would do anything to defeat his enemies. He’s extremely frightening.”

Furious flames were about to spew from Zhang Ruochen’s eyes. “This battle will be his death date.”

“Situ Fengcheng dared to go around the defense and enter Red River Mansion. He’s extremely arrogant and indeed should be given heavy punishment. However, he’s very cautious. A Heavenly King of the Ministry of War once set traps all over the world but couldn’t kill him. I must invite a helper to defeat him.”

With that, Qing Xiao’s body flashed and disappeared from the spot. He sent a message to Zhang Ruochen that he would definitely arrive at the South Cliff of Xianji Mountain on time.

Qing Xiao’s appearance stopped Zhu Qingyi from feeling confident. This man was definitely able to counter Situ Fengcheng and terrify countless Blood Saints with his name.

Zhang Ruochen felt that Huang Yanchen’s body was a bit cold. Worried that she couldn’t take this hit, he said caringly, “Hand this over to me. You go rest in the Universe World!”

Huang Yanchen shook her head firmly. A hateful and sharp look appeared in her eyes. “I’m not as fragile as you think. I must take part in this battle.”

The group set off, hurrying toward the South Cliff of Xianji Mountain. When the human cultivators observing in the distance saw Martial Saint Canglan and Qing Xiao appear one after the other, they realized that something big would happen. They also hurried toward Xianji Mountain.

South Cliff, Xianji Mountain

Situ Fengcheng stood on the top of the cliff towering in the clouds. His eyes shone brightly. He looked down at the sea of clouds and smiled. “They’re coming!”

“As expected of Zhang Ruochen. He is indeed courageous. He actually dared to come.” Ying Huo stood on layers of clouds. Her smile was very sinister.

“If he dares to come, it means that he’s prepared. We must be careful.”

Situ Fengcheng stepped out. He jumped down the cliff, which was thousands of feet high, and landed on the ground. He started planning and setting things up.

The South Cliff of Xianji Mountain was an ancient site. There were many ancient buildings left behind. The ground was covered densely by white bones. There were some ancient formations underground. However, most of the formations were damaged and had limited power.

Zhang Ruochen, Huang Yanchen, Qing Mo, and Guoguo stood on the Demon Ape’s shoulders. They stepped into this relic site and approached the South Cliff.

The closer they were, the thicker the bloody fog in the air became.

A moment later, a booming voice came from within the fog. “Zhang Ruochen, I didn’t think you’d actually come to die.”

Through the fog, Zhang Ruochen could see Blood Saint Miefeng’s huge figure. “It’s still uncertain who will live and who will die,” he said in a low voice.

Blood Saint Miefeng just laughed without saying anything else.

The Demon Ape sped up and finally came to the bottom of the cliff. When the Immortal Vampires saw the Demon Ape’s huge figure, they were all shocked.

“It’s actually a huge divine demon ape.”

After all, they were horrible beasts in the ancient times and could fight divine dragons.

There weren’t many Immortal Vampires grouped by the South Cliff. There were only 400 or 500 in total, but each one was strong. They could hold their ground on the battlefield.

Observing the surroundings, Zhang Ruochen’s eyes finally locked onto a spot halfway up the cliff. Shi Ren was hanging there. Seeing him, blood filled Zhang Ruochen’s eyes.

Whoosh!

Zhang Ruochen manipulated spatial power and rushed forward. He wanted to cross the space and save the man on the cliff.

“Hold.”

With a wave of her sleeves, Ying Huo sent out 12 gleaming saint bones. They landed in 12 directions.

When they landed, it was like 12 mountains had crashed onto the ground. The booms shook the entire land.

Zhang Ruochen was forced to shoot back as soon as he stepped into the space. It had become extremely stable. Even the Time and Space Descendant couldn’t control it as he wished.

Ying Huo was like a mesmerizing fairy. She descended from the sky and chuckled. “Each of the 12 saint bones is carved with extremely complicated runes. Put together, they can hold down the space. How could I not prepare to go against the Time and Space Descendant?”

Zhang Ruochen clenched his fists, working to keep calm. “I didn’t expect for the Immortal Goddess to come to Red River Mansion personally.”

“I missed you!” Ying Huo’s voice was mesmerizing. It could soften a man’s bones.

Situ Fengcheng walked out. He stood at a higher location with his hands behind his back. “Zhang Ruochen, where’s Qingyi?”

“If you want to see her, let him go.”

“Sure.”

Situ Fengcheng didn’t delay. He motioned for two Blood Saints to lower Shi Ren from the cliff.

At the same time, red flames appeared in the sky. Martial Saint Canglan stood in the fireball’s center. Holding Zhu Qingyi, she looked down at Situ Fengcheng.

“Not only do I want the man, I also want the sword.”

Situ Fengcheng wasn’t surprised to see Martial Saint Canglan at all. He just smiled and nodded. “The man and sword are yours if you let Qingyi go.”

Clang!

A sword clanged. The next moment, the Fengtian Sword was in Situ Fengcheng’s hands. Fire burned on the blade.

“If I didn’t guess incorrectly,” Zhang Ruochen said, “you have some other people in your hands other than Shi Ren, right?”

“I was going to give you a surprise,” Situ Fengcheng said, kind of complaining. “I didn’t think you would get the news first. Who leaked the news?”

“It really was you!”

Huang Yanchen couldn’t keep calm anymore. She wanted to charge over and fight Situ Fengcheng. Zhang Ruochen stopped her.

Three people had been captured in total. They were Huang Yanchen’s father, Qianshui Commandery Prince, her mother, Half-Saint Liuli, and her little sister, Thirteenth Princess.

The three of them had had their legs broken. Each one had a metal chain around their neck. Blood Saint Miefeng held the three chains in one big hand and dragged them out of a cave. Three bloody marks were left on the ground.

The physical pain wasn’t the worst. For Qianshui Commandery Prince and Half-Saint Liuli, who’d been in high positions, the humiliation was what made them want to die.

A king and queen who had their legs broken and were being dragged by chains around their necks. What kind of humiliation was this? If they weren’t kept from being able to commit suicide, they would’ve done so long ago.
