Chapter 2015: Bombshell
Zhang Ruochen let out a sigh as he watched the three leaving. Born in this chaotic era, there were too many things that were not up to him.
Except for Zhang Ruochen, no one else had noticed that two people had quietly left.
The two were none other than Han Qiu and Le.
The two left to investigate what the Heavenly Realm faction’s next course of action was. If possible, they did not mind taking some retaliatory actions against the Heavenly Realm faction.
Zhang Ruochen retracted his gaze and turned to look at Blackie. “The guardian formation of the Peacock manor has been destroyed. Set it up again to ensure the safety of Peacock Manor.”
“A piece of cake. Just leave it to me. I can make Peacock Manor as solid as a rock with just the snap of my fingers,’ said Blackie with a smug face.
Zhang Ruochen turned to look at the Nine-Step Saint King who was controlled by Feng Gudao using his Sold Holding Technique.
After this battle, of the twenty-six Nine-Step Saint Kings, only seventeen were left. Nine of them died in the battle. Those who survived had all suffered an injury.
Zhang Ruochen cupped his hands at them. “Thank you for your help this time. Since you are all injured, you all might as well stay and recuperate in the Peacock Manor before making other plans.”
“I should be the one grateful to you killing Feng Gudao, freeing us from his control.”
“Thank you, Mr. Zhang,” the seventeen Nine-Step Saint Kings said in unison.
They had no objection to Zhang Ruochen’s suggestion. Now that they were wounded, if someone were to attack them again, the consequences will be disastrous.
Especially those powerhouses from the Celestial Realm; they would not let the matter rest.
Immediately, Kong Lanyou brought everyone into the Peacock Manor.
The Peacock Manor was indeed a holy land for the awakened. The saint Qi of heaven and earth here was so rich that it rivaled Lake Phoenix. Kong Lanyou provided everyone with the best place to heal. She even picked the sacred herbs for healing them.
Zhang Ruochen had wasted no time and started to heal his injuries.
He had suffered multiple blows consecutively and his injuries were pretty bad. If he did not treat them as soon as possible, the injuries might develop some sequelae.
At this time, outside the Peacock Manor, news had spread far and wide.
“The Celestial Realm faction has messed up big time this time. Instead of killing Zhang Ruochen, it has its many men wiped out.”
“The death of Shang Ziyan, the leader of the Fane of Merit, is enough to set up a firestorm. Coupled with the death of the Fane of Merit’s leader Feng Gudao, the Hongyang Realm’s leader Zi Linglong, the Ruiya Realm’s leader Chi Sheng and Cang Long, the Cha Realm’s figurehead Gu Tianyin, the Yin-yang Realm’s powerhouse Yan Ba, the Fane of Dimension’s powerhouse Mu Jian, and others, you can imagine how many gods will fly off the handle.”
“There are many powerhouses in the Celestial Realm faction. In the past, they did not see Zhang Ruochen as a threat and let Shang Ziyan lead the charge. Now that Shang Ziyan is dead, those powerhouses of the Heavenly Realm faction are going to make Zhang Ruochen their primary target.”
“This has nothing to do with me. It’s better not to get caught up with this and leave this place the earlier, the better.”
...
Many cultivators who watched the battle had left. They were afraid of lingering near the Peacock Manor for fear of being implicated.
Because there were so many cultivators watching the battle, news of what happened in Shengming City and Peacock Manor had spread far and wide like wildfire. It circulated not only across the Kunlun realm but also many macroworlds.
The news broke out, and it was an absolute bombshell.
Those cultivators who were at odds with the Heavenly Realm faction were happy to hear the news. How they wished that the Heavenly Realm faction would have suffered greater losses.
On the other hand, the cultivators from the Heavenly Realm faction were furious. After all, since the Heavenly Realm became the dominant world in the Western Universe, no one had ever dared to mess with them.
In Zheng Yuan’s manor, the Northern Region camp.
A communication talisman flew from the horizon. Zhen Yuan caught it in his hand.
After checking the content, Zheng Yuan could not help but smile, turning to look at Feng Yan, Xiang Chunan, and Pei Yutian. “You all don’t have to worry anymore. Brother Zhang has got it handled; the Celestial Realm has suffered huge losses.”
“What was happening?” asked Feng Yan.
Knowing that the Celestial Realm faction was going to kill Zhang Ruochen, Feng Yan, Xiang Chunan, and Pei Yutian were anxious. But even if they wanted to rush to the Central Region to help Zhang Ruochen, someone had secretly stopped them. Not even Zhen Yuan could help it.
There was nothing they could do but stay back in the Northern Region camp.
“See it for yourself.” Zhen Yuan handed the communication talisman to Feng Yan and others with a smile.
The three of them drew closer and carefully took a look at the content.
“He truly deserves it as our big brother. Amazing! He has killed Shang Ziyan. Nothing is happier than that.” Xiang Chunan could not help laughing.
Feng Yan also broke into laughter. “Big Brother really gives someone a run for their money. The Heavenly Realm faction would have gone mad by now.”
“If there are more people like Zhang Ruochen in the Kunlun Realm, we would not have to worry about the challenges from all sides.” Pei Yutian said with emotion.
After reading the content on the communication talisman, the three of them could finally breathe a sigh of relief. And they were happy, too.
Meanwhile, the Murong family in the Central Region had also got the news.
“The Heavenly Realm faction tried to eliminate us, the Shengming. Dream on! With His Royal Highness here, the Shengming will never die.” Murong Yefeng said with excitement.
He had wanted to go to Shengming City to stop the Heavenly Realm faction’s plot.
But there were powerhouses standing in the way outside the Murong family, stopping anyone from entering or leaving the Murong family.
He had tried to kill his way out, but those people had forced him back in.
Even if he could successfully kill his way out, the Murong family would have been wiped out in an instant.
“His Royal Highness has completely unleashed the power of Shengming this time. The Heavenly Realm faction would have to pay a heavy price if they ever think of wanting to attack Shengming,” said Murong Yue.
“When Shengming finally becomes stronger, we must settle the score with the Celestial Realm faction.” Murong Yefeng said in high spirit.
When he thoroughly refined the Qilin’s supreme consummation fruit and attained the Supreme Consummation physique, he would fear no one by then.
On the other side, not long after news of what had happened in Shengming City and Peacock Manor spread, there were reactions from the Heavenly Realm faction.
“Anyone who dares to make the Heavenly Realm their enemy will never have a good end, no matter who they are. No one can trample on the dignity of the Heavenly Realm. Make sure you yourself are alive, Zhang Ruochen, until I, Zhou Yu, cut your head off.”
A top powerhouse in the Heavenly Realm uttered. What he said had caused an uproar.
“Zhou Yu is practicing the Scripture of Light on the Taiyi Divine Techniques Rank. With the legendary light physique, he is the master of the Path of Light of the nine great Path of the Ancients. It is a favorite of a giant in the Fane of Light. This giant once received The Divine Book of Light left by a god who practiced the Path of Light. Once opened, it can release all kinds of saint techniques of Light, making it impossible for others to get close to him.”
“At this stage, Zhou Yu is one candidate who is most eager to attain the level of the Four Heavenly Kings.”
“I didn’t expect that Zhou Yu would plan to fix Zhang Ruochen himself. No one can save Zhang Ruochen this time.”
“Even Zhou Yu has been alerted. Someone powerful in the Heavenly Realm must be furious and want to make an example of Zhang Ruochen.”
“Zhou Yu is now fighting in the underworld. Once he is back, it will be the end for Zhang Ruochen.”
