God Emperor

"Reporting to the Palace Master, I have ordered all the masters of the Law Enforcement Palace in the Seventh District to block all the major passes and gates. We searched all night but still couldn't find them. Orange Moon Star Envoy and Emperor Yi should have escaped."

The Palace Master of the Law Enforcement Palace, Shen Fengtian, stood in the middle of an empty street. When he heard the report from his subordinates, his face became colder and colder.

For a whole night, Shen Fengtian was tracking the whereabouts of Emperor Yi and Orange Moon Star Envoy, but he didn't get anything. The two of them disappeared without a trace, as if they had evaporated from the world.

"Damn it! Emperor Yi and Orange Moon Star Envoy are both talents that the black market focuses on training. If we can capture them, it will definitely be a great achievement. With this great achievement, I can get the opportunity to enter the Holy Vein for training."

Shen Fengtian gritted his teeth and said unwillingly, "There must be someone helping them, otherwise, they can't escape."

The warrior who knelt on one knee on the ground said, "Palace Master, are you referring to Zhang Ruochen? Could it be...he is an undercover agent in the black market?"

Shen Fengtian certainly didn't think that Zhang Ruochen was an undercover agent in the black market.

First, Zhang Ruochen had defeated Di Yi before, and that time was a severe blow to the black market. At the same time, it also made Zhang Ruochen completely offend the black market.

Second, even if Zhang Ruochen was an undercover agent of the black market, it would be impossible for him to let the Orange Moon Star Envoy go so blatantly. It would not do him any good.

However, even if Zhang Ruochen was not a member of the black market, he was definitely involved in this matter, and he must take full responsibility.

"Let's go to the Wushi Inn. This palace master will ask him in person why he let the Orange Moon Star Envoy go. If he doesn't give me an explanation, even if he is a saint, he can't escape the blame."

Shen Fengtian was angry and stomped his feet hard, causing cracks on the stone slabs on the ground.

"Palace Master Shen, even if you go to the Wushi Inn now, you can't do anything to him." A young voice sounded.

Shen Fengtian's face froze, and he looked to the alley on the left in the direction of the voice. He saw a tall and thin figure walking out from inside, and gradually revealed a young and handsome face.

Seeing the young man's face clearly, Shen Fengtian raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Xu Hai."

This man is the descendant of the Xu Sheng family and also a saint of the Holy Academy, Xu Hai.

Xu Hai bowed and saluted, saying, "Xu Hai greets Uncle Shen."

The Shen Sheng family and the Xu Sheng family are both famous and powerful families in the East Region. They have been friends for generations and have intermarried. Shen Fengtian has certainly met Xu Hai and has a good impression of this nephew.

Shen Fengtian praised him: "You can appear ten feet away from me without making any sound. I'm afraid your cultivation has improved again."

Xu Hai said modestly: "My nephew's little cultivation is far behind your uncle. Your uncle was just thinking about the Orange Moon Star Envoy and Emperor Yi, so he didn't notice my nephew."

Shen Fengtian said: "You just said that even with my status as a hall master, I can't do anything to Zhang Ruochen. What does that mean? Is there any other great person behind Zhang Ruochen?"

Xu Hai smiled and said: "Dean Xuanji is ready to accept Zhang Ruochen as a disciple. Is it really appropriate for you to deal with him now?"

"What? Dean Xuanji." Shen Fengtian's face changed.

Although the Law Enforcement Hall and the Martial City Academy are relatively independent entities, Shen Fengtian doesn't need to look at the faces of the top leaders of the Martial City Academy to act.

However, Dean Xuanji is not an ordinary person. He ranks second among the ten deans and is known as the "Sword Saint".

In the entire Eastern Region, there are only three people who can be called Sword Saints.

A master like Xuanji has countless peerless masters among his disciples. It can be said that he is of a very high generation and highly respected. He has great influence not only in the Wushi Bank but also in the entire East Region.

Even if Shen Fengtian had the courage, he would not dare to offend him.

Xu Hai said: "The ancestor told me personally, it is absolutely true. Uncle, the situation is stronger than people, and you have to endure when you should."

"Humph! Even if Xuanji Master supports him, as long as I find out his handle, our Law Enforcement Hall can investigate him." Shen Fengtian said.

"Who doesn't have a dark history? As long as you investigate, you will find it."

After saying this, Xu Hai laughed, bowed again, said goodbye, and left.

Xu Hai didn't think Shen Fengtian could find out anything from Zhang Ruochen, but Shen Fengtian was the Law Enforcement Hall Master of the Seventh District after all. As long as Zhang Ruochen was still in the Seventh District, his future life would definitely not be so easy.

"Zhang Ruochen, you killed my brother. I will avenge you sooner or later."

Xu Hai's eyes gradually became cold, and a murderous light flashed in his pupils.

In the next seven days, Zhang Ruochen went to the martial arts market every day to challenge the "Heavenly Ranking" warriors from all sides. The number of battles reached 227.

Among them, most of the warriors could not force Zhang Ruochen to display the power of his martial soul, and could only help Zhang Ruochen to comprehend the sword.

There were only four masters who could force Zhang Ruochen to display his martial soul, but unfortunately they were all defeated by Zhang Ruochen within three moves.

For a whole half month, there was no "Heavenly Ranking" warrior who could block Zhang Ruochen's ten moves.

So, in the seventh district, a saying spread: "Anyone who can block Zhang Ruochen's ten moves must be a top hero of the younger generation."

After the news spread, countless young masters took the initiative to challenge Zhang Ruochen, including students from the Holy Academy and the Royal Academy.

Those who challenged Zhang Ruochen lined up and all showed up at the Wushi Arena. Many of them did not want to defeat Zhang Ruochen, but just wanted to hold on to Zhang Ruochen's hands for a few more moves.

Ever since, in the following days, Zhang Ruochen would fight nearly a hundred times every day. Of course, the vast majority of people can still only accompany him to learn the sword, and cannot force him to use his full strength.

During the day, Zhang Ruochen fought crazily in the martial arts arena to hone his sword skills. At night, he practiced hard in the space within the space-time crystal to improve his cultivation.

In this way, half a month passed quickly.

Zhang Ruochen could clearly feel that his strength had improved a lot. Compared with half a month ago, it was as if he had undergone a transformation and reached a new level.

Moreover, he also replaced the Orange Moon Star Envoy and became the 643rd ranked master in the "Tian Ranking".

"Tomorrow is the time when the Holy Academy starts school. From now on, I will officially become a saint. Since my swordsmanship has improved a lot in the past half month, I will take advantage of tonight to meet Kong Lanyou again."

Zhang Ruochen didn't care about winning Kong Lanyou's semi-saint mansion. What he cares more about is his own cultivation. Only with the sword in Kong Lanyou's hand can he verify whether his swordsmanship has improved again?

This time, it was Nie Honglou who accompanied Zhang Ruochen to the Semi-Saint Mansion.

Entering the mansion, Nie Honglou was standing outside, and Zhang Ruochen walked into the bamboo forest alone.

Kong Lanyou was still sitting in the bamboo pavilion, with her white hair hanging on the ground, holding the yellowed bamboo flute, and her beautiful eyes staring at the creek next to her.

Hearing the footsteps behind her, her eyes finally showed a hint of emotion, and without looking back, she already knew who was coming.

"Zhang Ruochen, you are finally here!" Kong Lanyou's voice was very beautiful, like a clear spring flowing from a rock. Just listening to her talk was a very enjoyable thing.

Zhang Ruochen stared at Kong Lanyou's back, stopped, stood ten feet away, and said: "In the past half month, some people have always come to challenge me, wanting to test how many of my swords they can catch. Now, I’m here to challenge you, and I also want to know, with my current strength, how many swords can I catch from you?”

Kong Lanyou's red lips were very bright, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing a smile: "If you can block my three swords, I will treat you to a good drink. Of course, it depends on whether you have that ability."

"Wow!"

Her body swayed slightly, and she flew out of the bamboo pavilion. Holding a bamboo flute, she mobilized her true energy and quickly tapped Zhang Ruochen's left temple.

Almost instantly, she crossed the distance of ten feet and appeared in front of Zhang Ruochen.

The bamboo flute seems to be sharper than the sword.

She still suppresses her cultivation to the middle stage of Tianji Realm, which is three smaller realms lower than Zhang Ruochen. Moreover, she still used the first move of Tianxin Sword Technique, Tianxin pointed the way.

Zhang Ruochen had already released his mental power and was always observing Kong Lanyou. Just when Kong Lanyou used his sword move, he had already thought of a way to crack it.

However, when the bamboo flute struck, it still disrupted Zhang Ruochen's rhythm, making Zhang Ruochen unable to exert any strength he had.

Seeing that Zhang Ruochen was about to be knocked down by her move again, Zhang Ruochen suddenly kicked his legs and bumped into her.

"Tianxin points the way!"

Zhang Ruochen put his two fingers together, used them as swords, and struck Kong Lanyou's right wrist.

"What a progress! Unfortunately, your moves are useless in front of me."

Kong Lanyou's figure flashed and disappeared from Zhang Ruochen's eyes.

An instinctive sense of crisis hit his heart, and all the hairs on Zhang Ruochen's body stood up. Without any hesitation, he immediately turned around, waved his arms, and slashed diagonally upward behind him.

His arm was like a sword.

"The second move, Tianxin Full Moon."

Kong Lanyou held the bamboo flute, slashed it down, and collided with Zhang Ruochen's arm, making a violent explosion of zhenqi.

Zhang Ruochen secretly screamed in his heart that it was dangerous. If he was just a moment later, Kong Lanyou's bamboo flute would hit his head.

Because Kong Lanyou's cultivation was suppressed at the middle stage of Tianji Realm, after the two of them fought hard, Kong Lanyou flew backwards.

Kong Lanyou skillfully neutralized Zhang Ruochen's power and landed on the ground. He was slightly surprised and said: "Your ability to adapt has improved so much. Your understanding is very good."

In fact, Kong Lanyou was quite surprised. You must know that when she was Zhang Ruochen's age, her swordsmanship and adaptability were far from what Zhang Ruochen is now.

"Even if my cousin is still alive, he is probably not much better than Zhang Ruochen at this age." Kong Lanyou thought this way.

In her heart, the cousin from eight hundred years ago has always been the most outstanding young talent, and no one can surpass him.

"Take my third sword and Tianxin will make waves."

"Whoosh!"

Kong Lanyou's arms moved in the air, and under the influence of her zhenqi, all the bamboo leaves on the ground flew up and swirled in the air.
