Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Uncle, you are so cool! Are you a cultivator from Kunlun Realm?”
The young girl did not show any fear or awe just because Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation level was so strong, and was still very lively and adorable as she punched him in the chest.
Zhang Ruochen looked behind at the young girl and grabbed her by the wrist as he pulled her back and said. “When you meet a wicked person, don’t try your luck, you will suffer for that.”
“Cripple, watch your mouth, who’s the wicked person now?”
Tianmingzi, Tianjuezi, and Tianshangzi—all three of them walked out of the private room into the main hall.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two other Scions of Tianyuan, Tianxuzi and Tianjinzi, turned into two white lights and rushed out of Saint Xu Place to check on Tianyuzi’s injuries.
Zhang Ruochen spat back. “Killing someone just because of the disagreement, isn’t that the hallmark of a wicked person?”
“Are mortals even humans?” Tianjuezi said.
Hearing that, Zhang Ruochen’s eyes shrank deeply.
“You humans are really strange. It’s clear that you had cultivated from being a mortal human to a saint, and you are saying that mortals aren’t humans? Interesting, interesting.” Black Phoenix seemed to be unafraid of the six scions and spoke sarcastically.
Tianmingzi glared at Tianjuezi and pulled him back.
Tianmingzi was the head of the Six Scions of Tianyuan. He looked about forty years old, with a blue crown on his head, and gave out a somewhat refined temperament, yet his eyes were quite sharp and a trace of lightning moved within his eyes.
The Divine Seal in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes activated as he stared back at Tianmingzi, and his presence was no weaker than the latter.
A moment later, Tianxuzi and Tianjinzi carried Tianyuzi back into Saint Xu Place.
Tianyuzi’s saint robes were already torn into strips of cloth, his chest appeared a little sunken, and his lungs were smashed by Zhang Ruochen’s punch, and his saint soul too was damaged to a certain extent. He stared viciously at Zhang Ruochen and said. “Senior brother, you must kill this bastard and avenge me.”
Tianmingzi said calmly, “Sir, for you to wound my junior brother with just a punch, surely you must not be a person without a name. How about you tell us your name so that we can get to know you.”
“No need for that,” Zhang Ruochen replied.
Tianjuezi stared daggers at Zhang Ruochen and said eagerly. “You spit on our honor! Senior brother, don’t stop me, let me cripple him thoroughly and avenge junior brother.”
Black Phoenix’s sweet voice rang out once again. “The Celestial Palace and the Fane of Merits have rules that sainthood cultivators are forbidden from fighting in mortal cities, or else you will suffer divine retribution.”
Tianmingzi’s brows wrinkled as he stopped the ill-tempered Tianjuezi.
If this was just the Six Scions of Tianyuan against the cripple, Tianmingzi would not be as restrained as he is now. Even if the aftermath would result in all of the civilians in the city killed, he would definitely avenge Tianyuzi.
He would even use the crippled’s weakness of ‘caring about the lives of mortals’ against him.
But, there were many other saint cultivators present, and should that happen, someone would definitely collect evidence and report it to the Celestial Palace, and that would be detrimental to the Six Scions.
“Senior brother.”
Tianjuezi was furious, and he sent Tianmingzi a telepathic message. “Kill all of the cultivators present, including that Black Phoenix and White Zhuque. Capture them, and plant a Saint Worm into them, and turn them into our servants. By then, we can deal with them however we see fit. Hehe.”
Tianmingzi responded. “The Black Phoenix and the White Zhuque are both powerful persons of Seven-step Saint King-realm. You think it’s easy to capture them? Plus, that cripple’s strength is very strong as well, and cannot be underestimated.”
Finally, Tianmingzi’s gaze was affixed on the graceful old woman in the distance, who seemed to the be elder of that young girl.
That old lady may only look like in the realm of the Ninth Transformation of Dragonfish, but Tianyuzi’s saint aura did not seem to affect her at all.
That is to say, that old lady had hidden her cultivation.
With Tianmingzi’s cultivation level, yet he was unable to see through her, and naturally had made him wary of her.
“Let’s leave Luocheng first, and wait until they are out of the city before we strike against them,” Tianmingzi said by telepathy to the rest.
“Stop.”
That elegantly dressed old lady coughed slightly as she stood up and walked toward the Six Scions of Tianyuan. While she did not exude any powerful saint aura, but her presence itself gave out a very strong pressure.
The Butcher and the Fool glanced at each other, and a look of caution appeared in their eyes for the first time.
The Black Phoenix and the White Zhuque too were slightly surprised, and there was a hint of astonishment in their eyes. Clearly, they were still inexperienced and had missed something again.
“Grandma.”
The young girl walked over to the old lady and held her by the arms.
Tianmingzi’s Saint Qi started to rouse as a large amount of Saint Path precepts gathered in both his hands as he said calmly. “Madam, do you wish to say anything?”
“Nothing, I just want to kill someone.” The old lady said plainly.
“Kill who?”
The old lady raised her finger and pointed at Tianyuzi as she said. “Xiaoli is a chosen of mine that I purposely came to Kunlun Realm for. If someone wants to kill her, then this old one will of course need to stand up for her.”
“I’m afraid that there is a misunderstanding!” Tianmingzi said.
“There’s no misunderstanding.”
Tianjuezi sneered. “Old lady, do you take us Six Scions of Tianyuan as squishy persimmons, that you can kill whoever you want?”
The old lady looked up and revealed a pair of gray eyes.
No one knew if those pair of eyes had any magic to it, but the moment she stared at Tianjuezi, the latter immediately trembled as if he had seen a ghost and dared not utter another word.
Tianmingzi realized that the old lady before him must be some sort of terrifying figure and quickly said. “The Celestial Palace has forbidden.—”
Before he could finish speaking, a scream rang out behind Tianmingzi.
Tianmingzi turned around and look over, only to see a blood hole appeared at the center of Tianyuzi’s brows, as wisps of black mist escaped from the hole.
In just an instant, a Seven-step Saint King was completely devoid of life and turned into a pool of black blood.
Even Zhang Ruochen gasped, and with his eye power, he could not see how the old lady had struck.
The old lady and the young girl walked out and seemingly talking to herself. “If you make a mistake, you should be punished.”
Tianmingzi was a Nine-step Saint King of the Lesser Precept-World realm, but he dared not make any move as cold sweat appeared on his head, and was very suspicious if the old lady had already cultivated to the point of Precept Dominion.
The moment one reaches Precept Dominion, it means that they have touched the threshold of Supreme Sainthood.
The old lady and the young girl both left Luocheng.
The Six Scions of Tianyuan… or to be precise, the Five Scions of Tianyuan now, headed in another direction.

As night fell, there was no moonlight.
Luocheng would soon be swallowed by darkness, and the wind from Luoshui blew into Luocheng, making it extremely cold.
Perhaps because they could see that Zhang Ruochen was a Saint King-realm master, the saint cultivators in Saint Xu Place quickly broke the ice with him, and Zhang Ruochen learned quite a number of things from them.
It turned out that they had gathered in Luocheng to try their luck in the deep waters of Luoshui to pick up sacred medicine and look for a supreme opportunity.
“It’s said that on a moonless night, the reflection of the stars would form spots on the surface of the water and can guide the cultivators deep into Luoshui. Usually, the deep waters of Luoshui are protected by ancient inscriptions and cannot be entered at all.” A One-step Saint King named Lin Shuo said so.
“A moonless night.”
Zhang Ruochen recited it once and put it to memory.
Another Half-step Saint King cultivator said. “The Six Scions of Tianyuan are quite powerful characters, especially Tianmingzi who had reached the realm of a Nine-step Saint King. Brother, you have offended them, and you must be careful from now on.”
The Black Phoenix’s lifted her slender hand and held a luminous cup as she initiated an invitation Zhang Ruochen, and smiled. “Cripple, I have good wine made from Ten Thousand Years Goldenlight Grapes, want to have a drink, and be friends?”
All of the saint cultivators present immediately showed an envious look, and encouraged Zhang Ruochen to go over quickly.
The Black and White Beauties of Taibai Realm were quite famous scions of heaven, and their beauty was comparable to those in the ‘Nine Immortal Beauties’ painting, or maybe a little less. But as the top beauty of their worlds, which common cultivators would have earned the right to be invited by them.
Zhang Ruochen’s strength was more than enough, and his character had been affirmed by them, so he had such an honor.
Zhang Ruochen had a good impression of Black Phoenix so he walked over and smiled. “Did Maiden Phoenix came to Luoshui to seek opportunities as well?”
Hearing the name ‘Maiden Phoenix’, Black Phoenix let out a smile and said. “Yes, and no. By the way, have you trained in the Celestial Domain of Truth?”
Zhang Ruochen was slightly startled and asked. “How did you know?”
“How would a cultivator who had never trained in the Celestial Domain of Truth exercise such a level of control as yours?” Black Phoenix said.
Zhang Ruochen said. “That is to say, both of you two maidens have trained in the Celestial Domain of Truth before?”
Black Phoenix nodded and said. “A person who can train in the Celestial Domain of Truth must be a top scion of heaven, and the ability to fight across realms. Did you participate in the Divinity Bestowment Altar Assembly?”
Just when Zhang Ruochen was thinking about how to answer that question, the ground trembled slightly.
Booom!
Continuous loud noises rang out outside Luocheng, and the earth shook more and more violently.
White Zhuque uttered two words softly. “They come!”
The two ladies stopped communicating with Zhang Ruochen and immediately turned into two streams of light, one white one black as they broke through the roof and appeared at the top of Saint Xu Place.
The saint cultivators in the building all rushed out one after another and flew to a higher point in the city.
Zhang Ruochen held his Eight-Dragon Umbrella that was concealed in light to support his body as he stood on the street and looked up above. He saw layers of black clouds converging from all directions above Luocheng.
A blob of dark red light flickered among the clouds.
Outside Luocheng, colossal boulders rushed out of the ground and formed into a ring-shaped stone mountain hundreds of meters high, enclosing the entire city within.
“Sure enough, it’s the aura of the Infernal Court’s Stone-clan.
Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath as a faint murderous intent radiated from his body.
“RAAAAAWWWRRR!!”
The boulders in the ring-shaped stones mountain continued to roll and form into a stone golem one after another, and soon an army of stone golems was formed, and it encircled the city.
A black phantom wings tens of meters long appeared on Black Phoenix’s back, as she unleashed her saint aura and pointed her sword in a direction of the night and said. “Shi Kai, us sisters have been waiting for you for a long time now. Still not showing yourself?”
