God Emperor

Zhang Ruochen had just exited the picture scroll world, opened the door, and walked out of the retreat room. He saw an evil monk wearing black armor waiting outside the courtyard.

This man is tall and muscular, with a pair of piercing tiger eyes. His cultivation has reached the third transformation of fish and dragon, and he can be considered a master.

"Great Protector, Master Xingshi invites you to the Holy Willow Hall to discuss important matters." Guo Song bowed and bowed before standing up straight again.

Zhang Ruochen's steps were neither slow nor hasty. He walked out of the courtyard, closed the door, and then asked, "How did you know that I was released from seclusion today?"

Guo Song's dark face showed a smile and said: "Master Star Envoy has given instructions that unless the Great Protector comes out of seclusion, outsiders must not rush in and disturb him. I have been waiting outside the Great Protector's door for two days and one night. ”

Is that so?

Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but look at the Red Desire Star Messenger with admiration. This enchantress was really good at winning people's hearts.

Originally, Zhang Ruochen was quite worried that he would be disturbed while retreating to the Red Willow Villa to reach the peak of the third transformation of fish and dragon. Now it seems that the Red Desire Star Envoy still trusts him quite a bit and gives him great freedom.

If Zhang Ruochen is really just a spiritual cultivator, he might stay to assist the Red Desire Star Envoy and help her take the position of the young master of the Black Market First Grade Hall. Unfortunately, Zhang Ruochen is not.

"Lead the way!" Zhang Ruochen said calmly.

Guo Song led Zhang Ruochen through seven corridors and layers of formation light curtains, heading towards the hinterland of Hongliu Villa. The deeper he walked into Hongliu Villa, the more extraordinary he felt that Hongliu Villa was.

Is it really just a manor?

Zhang Ruochen discovered that his previous knowledge of Hongliu Villa was just the tip of the iceberg.

This villa is extremely huge, and its aura is also quite rich. There is even a magnificent hall built in the center of the villa, which is more magnificent and grand than the city lord's palace in Qingyun County.

"I didn't realize before that Hongliu Villa has such a big structure. The mechanisms and formations in the Villa can only be broken by the presence of a semi-saint in person." Zhang Ruochen said deliberately casually.

Guo Song followed Zhang Ruochen and said with a smile: "The Great Protector doesn't know that Hongliu Villa was once the headquarters of a fourth-rate family called the Liu Family. The Liu Family is a semi-holy family that competes with the Blood Cloud Sect for the dominance of Qingyun County. When he was defeated, he was destroyed by the Blood Cloud Sect, so this mansion became the territory of the Blood Cloud Sect. "

Zhang Ruochen said: "In other words, Hongliu Villa is now the property of the Blood Cloud Sect?"

"That's not the case. The Blood Cloud Sect has already dedicated Hongliu Villa to Huan Sheng, and Huan Sheng has rewarded Hongliu Villa to Master Xingshi. Therefore, Master Xingshi is the real owner of Hongliu Villa." Guo Song said.

Zhang Ruochen nodded and asked no more questions.

While talking, the two of them had arrived outside the Holy Willow Hall.

The Holy Willow Hall is built on a stone platform ten feet high. A total of ninety-nine jade steps must be walked to reach the gate of the Holy Willow Hall.

Standing at the bottom of the stairs and looking up, I saw that the Holy Willow Hall was very gorgeous and majestic. Twelve pillars with three people hugging each other were arranged in sequence, and each pillar had a giant python coiled on it.

The giant pythons on the pillars are not dead objects, but twelve fourth-order superior beasts, black earthworm electric pythons. It has a body like a python, but it has sharp centipede-like legs.

Twelve black earthworm electric pythons are used to guard the Holy Willow Palace.

In the center of the main hall, there is an ancient willow tree growing. The trunk is a hundred feet high and extremely thick. Even the hanging roots are thicker than the pillars of the main hall.

The huge tree trunk, leafy branches, and dense roots immediately divided the hall into two.

If you listen carefully, you will find that the ancient willow tree is actually breathing, as if it can come to life at any time, bursting out with unparalleled power.

Zhang Ruochen was actually calm. He climbed up the stairs step by step and could clearly feel the powerful aura coming from the Holy Willow Hall, which seemed to be a gathering of evil spirits.

Guo Song reminded Zhang Ruochen in a low voice and said: "The decisive battle is imminent. Lord Star Envoy has invited all the powerful men from the eighteen counties of Falling God Mansion who are loyal to Huan Sheng to come to Shengliu Hall to discuss important matters together."

"oh!"

Zhang Ruochen stared at Guo Song and smiled softly.

Of course he understood the meaning of the words "The decisive battle is imminent". In fact, when the Red Desire Star Envoy made up her mind to kill the Youlan Star Envoy, she already knew that she would collide head-on with Di Yi next.

She and Di Yi were bound to have a battle in Qingyun County.

The battle for the young master in the black market has been extremely fierce since ancient times. It is like the poisonous insects kept in the poison vat by the black market executives. All the poisonous insects fight and compete with each other based on their talents, strength, means, and wisdom. In the end, only one Gu worm can survive, and it is the strongest one, and will be able to take over the position of the leader of the first-grade black market hall in the future.

The one who wins will naturally be able to secure his position as Young Master. It is very difficult for a defeated person to die happily.

It can be said that "the winner is the king, the loser is the bandit".

Now that the decisive battle is imminent, the Red Desire Star Envoy naturally no longer hides his power and gathers all the people he can muster at Hongliu Villa.

Zhang Ruochen walked into the Holy Willow Hall alone. As for Guo Song, he was just a third-transformation monk and was not qualified to participate in such a meeting.

Zhang Ruochen secretly looked at the evil masters sitting on the left and right sides of the hall, and soon understood the power of the Red Star Envoy clearly.

The four most powerful monks among them are sitting at the front, second from the left and second from the right.

The four of them all used their own methods to conceal their true faces. It can be guessed that they must have special identities and did not want outsiders to know that they had arrived at Hongliu Villa.

The bodies of the four people were wrapped in a ball of glazed light, and they all had the cultivation level of the ninth fish-dragon transformation.

In addition to the four great figures of the ninth fish-dragon transformation, there are twenty-six monks of the eighth and seventh fish-dragon transformation below, each with a high position, neatly lined up on the left and right sides of the hall.

They all looked calm and composed, but they also exuded an unusually domineering aura. The blood in their bodies was vibrating, and they were full of energy. Every breath they took made a sound like a roaring hurricane.

Who can achieve the seventh transformation of fish and dragon, which one is not the overlord of evil?

Ji Gui and Luo Shi can only sit near the door, the fifteenth chair on the left and the fifteenth chair on the right respectively.

In just three days, the Red Desire Star Envoy was able to summon so many evil overlords. This shows that she had deliberately acted weak and deceived everyone before.

Her show of weakness made countless people, including Zhang Ruochen and Di Yi, underestimate her.

She won't reveal her trump card until the critical moment.

The Red Desire Star Envoy and Di Yi still have a fighting chance.

It's just that the two have different personalities. Di Yi is more charismatic, confident, arrogant, smart, and decisive. Therefore, he has gathered a large number of masters around him, and he can crush any enemy with force.

However, the Red Desire Star Envoy kept a low profile and always showed his weakest side in front of others, but secretly cultivated his power. When she doesn't take action, it feels like anyone can take her down. When she takes action, it always surprises you, and you may not even know why you died in her hands until you die.

Zhang Ruochen walked into the door and felt the unkind looks in his eyes. He didn't want to stand out, so he walked to Ji Gui's side, picked the sixteenth chair on the left, and prepared to sit down.

The envoy of Red Desire sat at the top of the hall, holding the crystal staff in his hand. His long hair hung down like a waterfall, looking particularly soft and gorgeous.

Naturally, she saw Zhang Ruochen walking through the door. His beautiful face immediately revealed a smile and said, "Great Protector, why are you sitting at the door? Your place is here."

The Red Star envoy stretched out a slender jade finger and pointed to a seat next to her.

She saw that the seat was very close to her, and it was actually above the four evil figures who had transformed into the ninth fish-dragon transformation.

As soon as the words of the Red Desire Star Envoy came out, there were several cold snorts in the Holy Willow Palace, and the atmosphere became quite strange.

Zhang Ruochen had already sat down halfway, but he paused for a moment after hearing the words of the Red Star Envoy. He glanced around the hall and felt several more pairs of unfriendly eyes.

"I'm still relatively junior, so how dare I sit above all the seniors? I think it's good that I just sit on this top chair."

After saying that, Zhang Ruochen sat down directly and nodded and smiled at Ji Gui sitting next to him.

"Even if you still have some consciousness, don't think that just because Master Xingshi has appointed you as the Great Protector, you are really qualified to sit in the position of Great Protector." In the third chair from the right, an old man with silver hair said coldly. .

Zhang Ruochen stared at the silver-haired old man, then closed his eyes again, too lazy to pay attention to him.

Now, Zhang Ruochen just wanted to end the meeting as soon as possible, and then go to discuss the retreat with the envoy of Red Desire Star. The decisive battle is imminent, and you must improve your strength as much as possible.

Zhang Ruochen didn't want to cause trouble, but the evil masters present had no intention of letting him go easily.

The seventh person on the left, an evil monk with crimson skin all over his body, suddenly stood up and roared: "How dare you openly disobey Lord Star Envoy's order? Believe it or not, I, Chi Hai, will tear you apart right now?" "

"Whoosh."

In the main hall, more than half of the thirty evil overlords on both sides stood up.

There is a monstrous evil spirit emanating from everyone's body, pointing directly at Zhang Ruochen.

Only the Red Desire Star Envoy, the four evil figures in the Ninth Transformation of Fish and Dragon, and Zhang Ruochen still looked calm and composed.

The envoy of Red Desire didn't say anything to stop her, and she didn't know if it was because Zhang Ruochen had openly challenged her authority just now, which made her unhappy, so she wanted to teach Zhang Ruochen a lesson.

Or maybe she actually wanted to take this opportunity to test Zhang Ruochen, whether he had the ability to be a great protector, and whether he could suppress the evil overlords from all sides present?
