God Emperor

Zhang Ruochen deliberately concealed his aura. Not to mention Mo Hanlin, even the master of the Ninth Transformation of Fish and Dragon could not see through Zhang Ruochen's true identity.

Mo Hanlin retreated and went to report to the landlady.

Zhang Ruochen was sitting on the second floor of the lobby, waiting quietly.

Two pretty maids came over. One of the maids, who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with delicate skin and soft smoke, held a crystal clear teapot and filled Zhang Ruochen with a cup of tea.

Wisps of hot white smoke came out of the jade tea cup.

Another maid, who was a little older, about eighteen or nineteen years old, gave Zhang Ruochen a wink, and then placed a dark gold book on the table next to Zhang Ruochen.

In the book, the prices of various elixirs, true weapons, and wild beasts in Qingxuan Pavilion are recorded, and they are listed in tables, making them clear at a glance.

If Zhang Ruochen wants to purchase other cultivation resources, he can directly outline them on the form, and a maid will naturally present the cultivation resources he purchased.

Other warriors do not receive such treatment at all. Who told Zhang Ruochen to buy the holy stone as soon as he came?

Of course, such a big customer needs to be treated comfortably.

The older maid glanced at Zhang Ruochen and said softly: "Master, do you need to buy anything?"

If Zhang Ruochen purchases more, they will naturally get a certain share of the share. Especially for such big customers, as long as they purchase a few cultivation resources, they can share a large amount of wealth with them.

Zhang Ruochen picked up the book, flipped through it a few times, then put it down again and said, "When the boss lady comes out, I will talk to her personally."

The two maids looked disappointed and retreated behind Zhang Ruochen.

…………

In the hinterland of Qingxuan Pavilion, on top of a tower filled with pills, Qin Ya and Duanmu Xingling were sitting opposite each other.

Qin Ya is wearing a bright red embroidered phoenix dress, sitting on a bench of golden nanmu. Her hair is in a high bun with three golden hairpins in her hair. She has bright beautiful eyes, crimson lips, and skin that can be broken by blowing. …

Qin Ya's eyes were as eye-catching as autumn water, and she said with a smile: "Since your identity has been exposed, don't go back to the Holy Academy. Go to Jiuyou City first and let the high priest help you unlock the seal on your body and restore the Holy Academy." female identity.”

Duanmu Xingling seemed to have not heard Qin Ya's words at all, his eyes were dull, his eye circles were red and swollen, he slightly flattened his mouth, and his voice was whimpering: "Aunt, I went to Huangshiyuan, and there was only a cooling rock lake left there. There were collapsed mountains, and not even a single bone was found. Auntie, is he... really dead? "

Qin Ya was a little worried when she saw Duanmu Xingling's appearance, and said: "Jiuyou Sword Master personally took action, and even a saint would have difficulty surviving. Lingxi, people cannot be resurrected after death, you should cheer up."

Duanmu Xingling shook his head vigorously and said: "But he is so outstanding, and he is a descendant of time and space, how could he...die? It's impossible...certainly...impossible..."

It seemed that even she herself didn't quite believe this sentence. Her voice became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely.

Qin Ya stood up gracefully, looked into the distance, and said: "Since ancient times, I don't know how many outstanding people have been born in the world, but most of them have fallen before they can truly grow up. The Holy Way The road is full of dangers and unknowns. No matter how good you are, if you don’t become a saint, you are just an ant at the mercy of others.”

"Lingxi, you are a saint from the Moon Worship Sect, how can you sink like this?"

Duanmu Xingling's real name is "Mu Lingxi", and he is a descendant of the Mu family.

On the contrary, Qin Ya is the real member of the Duanmu family, and her original name is "Duanmu Ya".

When the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect decided to send Mu Lingxi to Wushi Bank as an undercover agent, they considered that Wushi Bank would investigate her details.

So at first, Mu Lingxi could only be sent to Wushi Bank in Tianmo Ridge, and he was renamed "Duanmu Xingling" as a cover-up.

Because Tianmoling is located in a remote area, it is not taken seriously by Wushi Bank. Even if you want to investigate, it will be difficult to find any flaws.

As for Duanmuya, Mo Hanlin and others, they sneaked into Tianmo Ridge and were responsible for protecting Mu Lingxi's safety and protecting Mu Lingxi until she entered the Holy Court.

After Mu Lingxi entered the Holy Court as Duanmu Xingling, Duanmuya naturally retired and returned to the evil land of the Eastern Region.

It is naturally quite risky to allow a saint to enter the Holy Court as an undercover agent. However, if Mu Lingxi can become a saint in the future and enter the upper echelon of Wushi Bank, then he can bring huge rewards to the Demon Sect.

Mo Hanlin walked up to the Alchemy Pagoda, came behind Duanmuya, bowed respectfully, and said: "Chief Captain, just now a mysterious young man came to Qingxuan Pavilion and wanted to buy a holy stone."

"Buying a sacred stone?"

A sharp gleam appeared in Duanmuya's eyes, and she immediately asked: "Who is this person from? A person from the Blood Cloud Sect, a person from the Liang Yi Sect, or someone from the First Grade Hall in the black market?"

Mo Hanlin said: "I have sent people to investigate, but there is no result yet."

Duanmu Ya suddenly showed a solemn expression and began to think.

Who would actually go to Liyuan City to buy holy stones?

Although Liyuan City has a population of hundreds of thousands, it can only be regarded as a medium-sized city in Qingyun County. To buy holy stones, why not go to the county town?

Could it be that the other party knew in advance that Duanmuya was in Liyuan City, so he came specifically to deal with her?

Duanmuya used to be the chief rudder of the Demon Sect in the thirty-six counties of Tianmo Ridge. Now, she was transferred back to the Evil Land of the Eastern Region, but she is the chief rudder of Qingyun County of Falling God Palace.

She came to Liyuan City to meet the saint Mu Lingxi.

It is worth mentioning that the Black Market Yipintang also learned from the governance methods of the First Central Empire, dividing the evil land of the Eastern Territory into twelve prefectures, and each prefecture was further divided into eighteen counties.

However, the Eastern Territory Evil Land does not have officials such as palace lords and county guards, nor does it have a unified army.

Every prefecture and every county has a clear division of power.

For example, Qingyun County, where Zhang Ruochen is currently located, is a vast land, 50,000 miles from north to south and 28,000 miles from east to west, which is roughly equivalent to the area of ​​a superior county.

Qingyun County has more than a thousand cities and a population of more than 500 million.

The largest evil force in Qingyun County is called the Blood Cloud Sect. At the same time, the Blood Cloud Sect is also the administrator of Qingyun County. In this land, all other evil forces, large and small, must obey the orders of the Blood Cloud Sect.

In the Xuanwu Ruins world, the Iron Lady who once hunted down Zhang Ruochen was the No. 10 killer of the Blood Cloud Sect.

Being able to cultivate masters like Iron Lady, it can be seen that the Blood Cloud Sect is naturally a very powerful evil sect.

Although Duanmuya is the chief helmsman arranged by the Demon Sect in Qingyun County, the Demon Sect's power in the Eastern Territory Evil Land is not too great and is far from comparable to the black market.

Duanmuya pondered for a long time and said: "At the beginning, the black market invited us, the Moon Worshiping Cult, to enter the Evil Land of the Eastern Territory to fight against the imperial court's attack together. Therefore, the Moon Worshiping Cult sent a large number of experts to enter the Evil Land of the Eastern Territory. Moreover, The divine religion has cultivated a large number of followers over hundreds of years.”

"Now, the black market has regarded our Moon Worship Cult as a threat and wants to drive us out of the evil land of the Eastern Region."

Mo Hanlin smiled and said: "It's easy to invite gods but hard to send them away. Since we, the Moon Worship Sect, have come to the evil land of the Eastern Region, we can't just leave."

Duanmu Ya said: "After hundreds of years of development, the power of the black market has recovered a lot. Recently, they have retrieved the Nine Phoenix Cauldron, and their strength has greatly increased. Today's black market no longer needs the help of the divine religion to fight against the imperial court. The army should take action."

Mo Hanlin's expression changed and he said: "The chief helmsman suspects that the young man is a person sent by the Blood Cloud Sect. Under the guise of purchasing the holy stone, he actually wants to test us?"

Duanmuya stretched out her sweet tongue, gently licked her crystal red lips, and squinted her eyes and smiled: "He wants to test me, then, I will test him first? Make arrangements, and I will go and meet him in person."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now."

Mo Hanlin saluted Duanmuya again, and then retreated.

Duanmuya glanced at Mu Lingxi and said, "Lingxi, do you want to come with me?"

Mu Lingxi's eyes were still dull, she held her chin with both hands and shook her head mechanically.

"Hey! Think about it again! If you think about it clearly, come with me to Jiuyou City to see the high priest, unlock the seal on you, and restore your original identity."

Duanmuya sighed and walked down to the Dan Pagoda.

Zhang Ruochen followed Mo Hanlin through the corridors and entered the hinterland of Qingxuan Pavilion, and finally saw Duanmuya beside a green pond.

At this moment, Duanmuya was sitting in a square pavilion, with four maids waiting on her. In the middle of the pavilion, a white gauze curtain hung down. When Zhang Ruochen glanced over, he could only see a graceful and graceful shadow.

Zhang Ruochen mobilized his powerful mental power and carefully explored the past, and finally saw that the stunning woman behind the curtain was none other than Duanmu Xingling's aunt, Qin Ya.

"Please sit down." Duanmuya's voice was very gentle.

Zhang Ruochen regained his mental strength and was not polite. He walked into the pavilion and sat on a chair outside the white curtain.

Duanmuya's voice came from behind the curtain again, saying: "The steps are light and silent, and the breathing is steady and unhurried. Your Excellency's cultivation seems to be not simple."

Zhang Ruochen said: "The cultivation level of the landlady is not simple either."

Duanmuya smiled and said: "The slave family's surname is Duanmu, and the single name is Ya. What do you call me?"

"The surname is Zhang." Zhang Ruochen said succinctly.

Duanmuya said again: "Mr. Zhang, how many holy stones do you want to buy?"

"The more, the better." Zhang Ruochen said.

Duanmuya was slightly surprised, of course, just for a moment, and then said: "How can I believe that you can afford the holy stone?"
