Chapter 2487: Charged into the House of Enchanteurs
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the highest stargazing platform in the House of Enchanteurs, more than ten leaders of the major forces of the Infernal Court were gathered.
Ling, Luo Shengtian, Guye Jing, Huo Xing, Zhuo Yunong, Yanhuang Tu… they were all among them. Each of them was a famous existence with a robust background.
At this moment, they looked up at the sky, the shining sea of blood.
The Overseer of the Divination Division had brought a Divine Artifact to Hoth, and the Hoth Emperor had come out of seclusion. This wasn’t a coincidence. Could it be that activating the Divine Artifact had angered him?
As the top powerhouse of the Fane of Destiny, Zhuo Yunong was extremely calm.
Gods couldn’t interfere with the secular world. Even if the Hoth Emperor came out of seclusion, it wouldn’t change Zhang Ruochen’s Destiny.
Besides, with the Hoth Emperor’s cultivation, looking at them was like seeing a group of children fighting. How could he interfere?
The master of the House of Enchanteurs, Ye Manman, was a beautiful woman in her twenties. Her jade back was exposed, and a pair of broad wings of light floated on it. She looked very flirtatious, but her eyes were deep and reserved. Her actual age was more than ten thousand years old.
She arranged a row of maids to put all kinds of precious soul food, sacred fruits, sacred meat, and blood wine on the table.
“Since the Hoth Emperor has come out of seclusion, we should not make a big deal out of today’s matter, and we should not be stained with the smell of blood. I thought that as long as Zhang Ruochen handed over the Seven-Armed Elder and the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin, we would let him go,” Ye Manman said softly.
“Let him go? He and the Seven-Armed Elder have disturbed the order of the Divine Domain of Destiny and even killed Xing Qian and Cang Baizi. How can we let him go after causing all that? Lord Judge, do you think we can let him go?” asked Yuan Benji.
After Yuan Benji finished speaking, he cupped his hands slightly and looked at Zhuo Yunong, who had kept his eyes closed.
“If he really did this, the Adjudication Division won’t let him go. When we return to the Fane of Destiny, I’ll go and ask for forgiveness from Fukurokuju,” Zhuo Yunong said.
A smile appeared on Yuan Benji’s face depicting “It should be like this.”.
He knew very well that the Adjudication Division had always regarded Zhang Ruochen as a heretic and wanted to eliminate him. However, Zhang Ruochen had the protection of Wargod Bloodximius, Fukurokuju, and Luo Yan, so he couldn’t kill him at will. He had a good teacher.
Luo Shengtian snorted, “You want to convict the top figure in the Battle of Celestial-Hunting just because of the one-sided words of a woman from the Enchanteur Chamber. You have no respect for the Xue Jue Family and Devala.”
Yuan Benji was not afraid of Luo Shengtian’s identity. He sneered and said, “Is the Divine Prince tying Devala and Zhang Ruochen together? Could it be that Devala secretly instigated and supported Zhang Ruochen’s actions? Could it be that the Divine Prince has already obtained a superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin?”
Luo Shengtian was furious. His eyes shone with divine light. He said, “You’d better be careful with your words. Otherwise, your brother won’t be able to save your life.”
“Everyone heard that the Divine Prince wants to kill me. If anything happens to me, it will definitely be Devala’s doing,” Yuan Benji said with a smile.
Luo Shengtian was so angry that he was trembling. He was ready to attack.
Yan Hanyi stopped him. He said in a low voice, “Originally, it was because of his brother that I dared to ignore your identity as Divine Prince. However, his cultivation is extremely powerful. Your Highness has just broken into the Thousand-Koan Realm not long ago. Don’t let your emotions get the best of you.”
Ling said, “What’s the point of arguing now? When the Overseer arrives, activate the Tensho Compass and capture Zhang Ruochen, we’ll know everything.”
“Yeah, we’ll know if the Seven-Armed Elder and the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin are with Zhang Ruochen or not. Haha!”
Yaun Benji raised the ancient bronze cup and gestured to Luo Shengtian to drink a mouthful of the Soul Springwater.
…
Bai Qing’er sat in a palace not far from the stargazing platform and played chess with Shangguan Que. She said, “I admire your chess skills. Have you taught Zhang Ruochen your chess skills?”
The chess platform landed under a giant willow tree.
The snowflakes falling from the sky would melt near the willow tree and turn into wisps of white clouds.
Shangguan Que said, “Ruochen learned everything as fast as you, but he doesn’t like to play chess. He said the chess game is too complicated and all kinds of arrangements are tiring. Only a scheming person would study it.”
“That’s troublesome! Won’t he be unable to break the dead end today?” Bai Qing’er said.
Shangguan Que twirled the black piece and wanted to place it. Hearing this, his hand suddenly stopped, putting the piece back into the box. He said, “For people who don’t like to play chess, they can actually break the dead end.”
Bai Qing’er smiled faintly. “Teacher, please enlighten me.”
BANG!
Shangguan Que waved his hand and chopped down, splitting the chessboard.
The black and white chess pieces fell to the ground.
“If you don’t like to play chess, then you can break the game,” Shangguan Que said.
Bai Qing’er was very calm. She stood up and outlined the most beautiful scene under the willow tree. She looked at the stargazing platform, suddenly becoming noisy as if something incredible had happened.
Was the Overseer of the Divination Division here?
“That’s… Zhang Ruochen. He actually showed himself.” said Bai Qing’er.
Ye Manman looked at the long white street covered by ice and snow in the distance. Zhang Ruochen and a human-sized bird were walking in the middle of the street towards the House of Enchanteurs. Wherever they passed, a hurricane suddenly rose and whistled.
All cultivators of the major forces looked over in disbelief.
“This kid is courting death,” said Luo Shengtian. He was worried because he knew very well that everyone was coveting the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin. They also knew that the Adjudication Division was determined to kill him.
Guye Jing shook her head gently and frowned.
She had thought that Zhang Ruochen would use the Path of Dimension to break through the array of the Enchanton and escape. Only then would there be a chance of survival. She didn’t expect that Zhang Ruochen would be so bold as to come straight to the House of Enchanteurs.
Did he think that no one would dare to kill him because of his special status?
What should she do now?
She wanted to help him secretly, but now she didn’t dare to act rashly. After all, no cultivator dared to risk the world’s condemnation and make enemies with more than a dozen top major forces.
Yuan Benji was in disbelief. He stood up excitedly.
Huo Xing of Roopkund Sea said in a gloomy voice, “What is that strange bird beside him? Is it a condor?”
“It’s an owl. It’s known as the Heaven and Earth Slaughterer. Its cultivation is extraordinary,” Ye Manman said.
Huo Xing smiled disdainfully. “It’s only interesting if it’s high. I can roast it and eat it.”
The cultivators in the House of Enchanteurs weren’t the only ones who saw Zhang Ruochen.
In Enchanton, some forces didn’t know about the birth of the superior-grade Divine Crystals of Origin. They were purely here to gather information, but they were also alarmed.
Bai Qing’er was silent for a long time, “Zhang Ruochen’s actions are a bit unexpected. His courage isn’t something ordinary cultivators can compare to. Unfortunately, his cultivation is too weak. It’s far from enough to overturn the chessboard. A strong man can break the chessboard with his power. A weak man can only be a mantis trying to stop a chariot by doing this.”
Shangguan Que sighed and closed his eyes.
…
Blackie walked beside Zhang Ruochen. He swayed and dragged his body. The wind power overflowed from his body, giving people a strong and wild attitude.
“Can you stop the wind?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“No. This is my first true battle after I recover my cultivation. I must be high-profile. If the Hoth Emperor didn’t come out of seclusion and make the blood fog cover the sky, I would have to create some heaven and earth phenomena,” Blackie said stubbornly.
Zhang Ruochen found it hard to imagine that Blackie was an old monster who had lived for more than 100,000 years. He was second to none.
How could he be calm?
Blackie said again, “I’m still curious. Why don’t we just fight our way out of the Enchanton? Why go to the House of Enchanteurs to meet those people?”
“For Bai Qing’er,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Blackie shook his head, “Are you going to confront her? It’s no use. Among those forces, most of them have a grudge against you. But few have a grudge against her. Moreover, many of what that Bai lady said were facts and reasonable. But what you said couldn’t be explained in many ways. If it were me, would I believe her?”
“I don’t ask them to believe me. I just want to remind them to be careful of Bai Qing’er. At the same time, I want to set up a trap so that they can’t judge the truth.” said Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen continued, “If I fight them directly, even if I get away, I’ll be hunted down endlessly. This will confirm that I have the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin. However, meeting them will make them suspicious. They won’t ignore Bai Qing’er in the future. With them holding Bai Qing’er back, I would have an easier time. I have to go.”
The journey was smooth. Zhang Ruochen and Blackie entered the House of Enchanteurs and flew up to the stargazing platform.
All the cultivators’ eyes fell on Zhang Ruochen. Some even took out their artifacts and were ready to attack at any time.
Almost every Supreme Saint present had cultivation far higher than Zhang Ruochen’s.
However, under the suppression of their saint might, Zhang Ruochen was calm and collected. He picked up a sacred fruit on the table and took a bite. He laughed heartily and said, “I heard that a cultivator from the Enchanteur Chamber accused me of stealing a superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin. I wonder, does that cultivator dare to come out and confront me?”
Blackie saw that Zhang Ruochen was not imposing enough, so he shouted at the side, “Confront me face to face.”
Zhang Ruochen said again, “You seem surprised to see me. Don’t be surprised. I, Zhang Ruochen, have been through a lot. I’ve seen all kinds of things. Some clowns can’t scare me.”
Blackie shouted, “They can’t scare me.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Bai Qing’er, I’m here. Why don’t you show yourself?”
Blackie shouted, “Why don’t you give yourself to me?”
Originally, Yuan Benji snorted and walked out of the crowd. His body was filled with death qi like lines. He said, “Zhang Ruochen, you’re like a coward. You’ve been hiding for so long. Are you finally willing to come out? It seems that you know that the director of the Divination Division has arrived on Hoth.”
Zhang Ruochen stared at him and said, “Who are you? Tell me your name.”
Blackie roared, “Tell me your name.”
“Yuan Benji.”
Yuan Benji had his hands behind his back and looked away. He looked at the sky from the corner of his eyes and deliberately showed contempt.
In his opinion, Zhang Ruochen would definitely show fear after he told him his name.
“I am the grandson of Wargod Bloodximius. I represent the face of the Xue Jue family. I am also the owner of the Destiny Token and represent the Fane of Destiny. If you dare to humiliate me, I will kill you today.”
Zhang Ruochen touched the Ring of Dimensions with his finger. He pulled out the Ugyen Cudgel, a Supreme Artifact, and slashed it at Yuan Benji’s head.
“I will kill you.”
Blackie roared. It clenched its claws with both hands and clawed at Yuan Benji’s lower body.
The attacks were coordinated perfectly.
The sudden change not only shocked Yuan Benji but also the other cultivators. They all stepped back in shock.
What was going on?
There were so many influential figures here. How could Zhang Ruochen dare to make the first move?
