God Emperor
chapter-1047

Wan Huayu came to visit Zhang Ruochen with a purple-clad elder. There were no other servants.

Zhang Ruochen had seen her at the Cai Family Saint Mansion. She’d left a deep impression. She was very intelligent and perceptive. In some aspects, she was comparable to her father.

When Zhang Ruochen decided to see her, he already warned himself that he must be careful and not let her notice anything.

“Not bad. Deity, I am quite jealous that you can find a place with such greenery in Yingsha City.”

Wan Huayu wore an opulent ice silk robe. She stood elegantly under a line of ancient willow trees. Looking up at the large leaves, she craned her slender snow-white neck. She had a great temperament.

Zhang Ruochen stood in the near distance and put his hands up in greeting. Smiling, he said, “Did Princess Wan come to visit me just to look at the ancient willow trees?”

Wan Huayu looked at him and smiled. “I’ve heard of your name long ago. Today, I indeed came because I have something important to discuss with you.”

“Please tell me,” Zhang Ruochen said.

“I would like to work together with you. As for the conditions…you can decide. How about it?”

“Work together?”

Zhang Ruochen already knew about the alliance between the Wan and Chi Family before Wan Huayu came. She must have known about the conflict between Zhang Ruochen and the Canglong Army. Why was she still asking him to work together?

Wan Huayu seemed to sense what he was thinking. Smiling, she said, “Your conflict with Chi Zhongshan isn’t that big of a deal. If you work with the Wan Family, I’m sure he won’t dare to object.”

“As expected by the Little Saint God’s only daughter. You are very bold.” Zhang Ruochen smiled and looked playfully from Wan Huayu’s breasts to her behind. “I do have one condition. If you can stay the night, I’ll agree with everything.”

“Nonsense!” the elder roared. “Who do you think you’re talking to?” A powerful surge spread out along with the sound waves, sending dust and pebbles into the air.

Wan Huayu clearly knew about the Blood God Sect Deity’s personality. She didn’t look unhappy, but her smile did go away.

“Your decision isn’t unwise. Don’t you know that your best choice right now is to work with me? After all, if the Lingxiao Heavenly Palace and your sect’s Saintess use cruel methods, you won’t be able to take it with your current abilities.”

Zhang Ruochen grew thoughtful and nodded. “Since I’m so weak, why do you still wish to cooperate with me?”

Hearing that Zhang Ruochen was more accepting now, Wan Huayu immediately said, “Because you could reach the sixth level of the Blood God Altar and defeated the Blood Spirit Fae, the first Deity of the sect. With your potential, if you can find enough Genius Treasures in the Blue Dragon Void World, you’ll immediately enter the top ten of the Half-Saint Rank.”

As of now, only three humans were in the top ten. It was evident that Wan Huayu had very high judgment and expectations of him.

“Top ten? I will definitely become number one of the Half-Saint Rank.” Zhang Ruochen pretended to be very arrogant.

The purple-clad elder turned up his nose. He felt like the princess trying to win over someone like this was a complete waste of time. Anyone this arrogant would never be able to become a powerful figure.

Wan Huayu maintained the smile on her face. “If this was another era, you would have a chance to become number one. However, many absolute geniuses were born this era. I’m afraid you’re still a bit off.”

“If I become number one, can I kiss you?” Zhang Ruochen asked with a smile.

Wan Huayu didn’t grow shy. Instead, she smiled. “If that day really comes, it may be possible for us to develop to the next step.”

“In that case, I’ll work with you when I become number one of the Half-Saint Rank. At that time, I’ll definitely make you stay the night.”

Zhang Ruochen’s words meant that he’d rejected Wan Huayu’s proposal.

“You must consider this carefully,” Wan Huayu said. “If you don’t work with me, it will be difficult for you to do anything in the Blue Dragon Void World from now on.”

“I have already thought carefully.”

In the end, they couldn’t come to a consensus and left unhappily.

If Zhang Ruochen had accepted Wan Huayu’s proposal and entered the alliance between the Wan Family and Lingxiao Heavenly Palace, then he would truly find it difficult to do anything.

Forcing Wan Huayu away like this wouldn’t arouse suspicions.

Soon after Wan Huayu left, there was a huge boom at the door.

Chi Zhongshan, general of the Canglong Army, shattered the door with a fist technique and roared, “Gu Linfeng, I’m going to disable your arms and legs and make you kneel for ten days!”

He hadn’t come alone. The other four generals of the Canglong Army arrived at the same time.

The five Ninth Level Half-Saint generals walked into the depths of the yard with powerful battle intent flaring from them.

Wan Huayu went to the third floor of a building cluster nearby. She sat down and looked down with clear eyes. From here, she could see everything in the yard.

The purple-clad elder stood behind her and huffed coldly. “Gu Linfeng has already been forced out by the Blood God Sect’s Saintess, but he’s still so arrogant and doesn’t know his place. The Lingxiao Heavenly Palace will definitely give him a harsh lesson.”

Wan Huayu put her hands on her thighs. She smiled casually. “The Lingxiao Heavenly Palace has attacked first. Now we’ll see how Gu Linfeng will take it. I wonder if it’s possible.”

“He’s only a Fifth Level Half-Saint. If he didn’t have that mysterious female cultivator, Chi Zhongshan alone could take care of him.”

Wan Huayu nodded. She agreed with the purple-clad elder. Another important reason why she’d gone to win over Gu Linfeng was to probe for the mysterious woman’s identity.

If she could defeat Wei Longxing with one strike, she couldn’t be a nameless figure. Of course, now that Gu Linfeng was in such great danger, the mysterious woman would definitely appear to save him. As long as she attacked, Wan Huayu was confident in figuring out her true figure.

Chi Zhongshan’s roar shocked countless human Monks. They all hurried over to watch the show.

“Gu Linfeng is still a Deity. How can he be reduced to such a state?”

“He was first forced away by the Blood God Sect’s Saintess. Then the Lingxiao Heavenly Palace went to his door, saying they’d make him kneel for ten days. Why does it feel like everyone’s bullying the drowning dog? Haha.”

“First he’s a homeless dog. Now he’s a drowning dog. Can Gu Linfeng get any sadder?”

“Whose fault is this? It’s his fault for being so arrogant when he isn’t strong enough. He’s flirting and offending people everywhere. People like him deserve this ending.”

…

Monks of the Blood God Sect, Shangguan Clan, and Cai Family all came to the surroundings to watch what was happening next.

Cai Jinglun activated his Heavenly Eye and looked for a while. “The Lingxiao Heavenly Palace has already sealed the space in that area. It seems like they aren’t giving Gu Linfeng any chance to escape.”

Shangguan Xianyan pursed her red lips. She watched attentively but sighed. “No matter how Gu Linfeng is, he’s still the Deity of the Blood God Sect. If the Lingxiao Heavenly Palace goes overboard, we must do something.”

Wei Longxing clenched his fists and smiled coldly. “Gu Linfeng deserves this. He caused it himself. If that woman didn’t protect him, he wouldn’t be alive right now.”

Shangguan Yi, Shangguang Linglong, Shangguan Nihong of the Shangguan Clan; Cai Jinglun, Cai Jing, Cai Yunji of the Cai Family were all bystanders. They didn’t express any opinion.

The three top figures of the Blood God Sect—Shangguan Xianyan, Wei Longxing, and Hai Lingyin—reached a consensus.

In the end, Shangguan Xianyan sent a messenger to tell the leaders of the Lingxiao Heavenly Palace, “Gu Linfeng is still the Deity of the Blood God Sect. If the Lingxiao Heavenly Palace forces him to kneel, it will insult the Blood God Sect. If things reach that point, we won’t just sit and watch.”

When the generals of the Lingxiao Heavenly Palace received Shangguan Xianyan’s message, they all just chuckled.

“We won’t force him to kneel. We’ll hit him until he kneels. That’ll be fine, right?” Chi Yutang, one of the four lords of the Lingxiao Heavenly Palace, chuckled.

The human Monks of the Yingsha City came from all over. The large mass of people was watching the conflict attentively.

To them, the Blood God Sect’s Deity was a poor and lonely figure. He had such a high status, but he’d reached this state. It was tragic.

Boom.

In the yard, Chi Zhongshan stomped on the ground. Wild Holy Qi surged out, making the ground crack loudly with deep fissures.

All the buildings and trees within hundreds of feet were reduced to dust. Only the centermost building was still undamaged.

Zhang Ruochen sat in the center of the hall. Composed, he glanced at the five outside the door. “There’s a way to heaven, but you don’t follow it. There’s no door to hell, but you force your way in. Why?”

Chi Zhongshan knew that Zhang Ruochen had a mysterious female cultivator beside him, so he was very cautious. He didn’t burst in impulsively. Huffing coldly, he said, “Gu Linfeng, you’re already in this state. How dare you still be so arrogant? Aren’t you afraid I’ll make you wish you were dead?”

Zhang Ruochen chuckled. “I’ve never had that experience, but you did a while ago. Would you like to try it again?”

Chi Zhongshan clenched his fists. Two balls of fire surged out. He really wanted to rush in and personally force Gu Linfeng to his knees and take revenge. However, he repressed the anger in his heart.

Laughing, he said, “You only know how to talk. Don’t hide behind a woman like a coward. If you’re so strong, come out and fight with me. We’ll easily see who is the true strong cultivator and who’s the one forced to his knees.”

Everyone could tell that Chi Zhongshan was trying to provoke Gu Linfeng. If Gu Linfeng was smart, he wouldn’t accept the challenge.

“To be honest, you don’t qualify to fight me with your cultivation and identity,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Chi Zhongshan knew that Gu Linfeng would say this. Sneering, he was about to reply, but Zhang Ruochen spoke again, changing his tone.

“However, if you insist on fighting, I’ll lower myself to fight with you. How many days did you say for kneeling? Ten days? Then let’s do ten days!”

Zhang Ruochen stood up. With his hands behind his back, he walked out of the room and down to the steps to Chi Zhongshan.
