Chapter 1167: Turmoil

Zhang Ruochen walked slowly toward Shangguan Xianyan.

“Deity.”

One of the six saintly elders, Elder Yuanzhou, stood up and called Zhang Ruochen.

Elder Yuanzhou was an elder from Shangguan clan. His name was Shangguan Zhou. He had prestige in both Blood God Sect and Shangguan clan.

Apparently, Elder Yuanzhou was worried that Zhang Ruochen might kill Shangguan Xianyan, which was why he stopped him. After all, Shangguan Xianyan was still a genius from Shangguan clan. Elder Yuanzhou couldn’t let her be killed.

Shangguan Xianyan was relieved. Now that Elder Yuanzhou had stepped in, chances were Gu Linfeng wouldn’t kill her. She now realized that her clothes were completely wet.

Zhang Ruochen stopped walking and asked, “Do you need anything, saintly elder?”

Elder Yuanzhou was wearing a blue robe. He said, “Deity, you identified an immortal vampire saint among our sect. You made a great contribution. I think you deserve to be rewarded.”

Was he cozying up?

Zhang Ruochen vetoed that thought.

He was only a pre-saint without any background. Elder Yuanzhou was a saintly elder and somebody in Shangguan clan. It was impossible for him to show Zhang Ruochen any courtesies.

Zhang Ruochen spun his eyes and said, “I’m still guilty in everyone’s eyes. How can I be rewarded anything?”

Elder Yuanzhou smiled. “You’re a deity, which means you can kill anyone who’s not yet a saint. It doesn’t matter why Wei Longxing died. It’s not your fault.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “You’re a reasonable man, Elder Yuanzhou.”

Elder Yuanzhou then said, “After our hierarch has gone missing, our sect doesn’t have a leader. The entire Kunlun’s Field is in chaos. Turmoil is drawing near. Our sect can’t afford to have no leader, and at this time, we need someone to step up and to take the position of the hierarch, leading hundreds of millions of followers to get through the difficulty.”

“Deity, you have great intelligence and potential. You’re still so young, but you’re able to kill a saint. Even compared to everyone else in the world, you’re a top-tier talent. I think we need to have a crowning ceremony now, inviting all the saints in the world so see you ascend to the crown of the new hierarch of Blood God Sect.”

Everyone in Guiyuan Divine Palace was simmering with excitement.

Crowning someone as the hierarch was an event of world interest, which would draw all the attention in Kunlun’s Field.

If other monks suggested it, people wouldn’t take it seriously. However, it was one of the six saintly elders, Elder Yuanzhou, who suggested it, so it meant something.

The interest of all discipline kings and palace rulers were piqued.

Zhang Ruochen was also surprised to hear Elder Yuanzhou say something like that.

Zhang Ruochen knew that many high-profile members from Blood God Sect had their eyes on the position of the hierarch. If he said yes, he might be assassinated before he could ascend to the throne.

Does he want to kill me by helping me become the hierarch?

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t figure out what Elder Yuanzhou really wanted. After thinking about it for a while, he said, “It might take several years to reach the level of our hierarch. Our hierarch has only been away for a couple of days, and he might return at any time. There’s no need to rush.”

Just as Elder Yuanzhou wanted to say something, Zhang Ruochen continued, “Besides, a deity can only become a hierarch after he or she becomes a saint. I’ve only passed the first pre-saint trial. I don’t even know whether I can pass the following two trials or not.”

Discipline King Haiming thought, sitting in his chair, This boy has some wisdom of self-knowledge. He’s not too reckless to be redeemed.

Discipline King Yuanzhou looked a bit upset, then he looked to Elder Yuanxing.

Elder Yuanxing shook his head, stood up and said, “Since the deity doesn’t want the throne of the hierarch yet, then we’ll wait. However, we can’t wait for too long. Things are changing drastically now, and there’re tragic wars in all areas. Some of the clans with ancient inheritance have been annihilated. There’re dangers coming toward Blood God Sect, so the position of the hierarch can’t be vacant for a long time.”

“If our hierarch still hasn’t come back when the deity becomes a saint, we’ll hold the crowning ceremony, bestowing the title of hierarch upon our deity. Any problems?”

Elder Yuanzhou and Elder Yuanxing spoke at the same time, which represented the will of Elder Pavilion. Even though some people were coveting the position of the hierarch, they could only keep it to themselves.

Besides, Gu Linfeng needed to become a saint first before he could ascend to the throne. He wasn’t going to become the hierarch now.

“No problem,” Discipline King Haiming said.

And then, all the saints and half saints said that they agreed with the decision made by Elder Paviion. No monks objected to that.

The meeting of elders kept going, mentioning all the major incidents that had happened recently.

A Taigu remains became a supreme saint in Savage Barren Territory. The sky in the east was filled with purple light, permeating toward the state of Tiantai in the central region. Almost all the human saints sensed that.

That Taigu remain then waged a war of ten thousand races, trying to unite all the savage beast races in the Savage Barren Territory.

Now, there was bloodshed everywhere in Savage Barren Territory. Mountain after mountain was tainted with red.

“A Taigu remain has become a supreme saint?”

Zhang Ruochen was surprised to hear that as it was exceptional news.

The rules of the sky and land were vastly different from those during the Taigu era. After the ancient era, almost no Taigu remain could become a supreme saint.

Emperor Ming told Zhang Ruochen that once a Taigu remain became a supreme saint, it could completely activate the Taigu bloodline inside its body, after which it would become the most powerful creature in Kunlun’s Field. It might even become a God.

To human beings, once a Taigu remain became a supreme saint, it meant a catastrophe was coming.

That Taigu remain was still fighting in the Savage Barren Territory. He hadn’t gotten into the territory of the First Central Empire. However, once it united all the savage beasts, it would target the human race.

Another major issue was discussed, which concerned Empress Chi Yao.

“Since the empress left the capital city, she has never shown up. The beast kings and Blood Emperor who fled overseas all came back to Kunlun’s Field. Someone reckons that the Empress has been killed by the Celestial Way because her cultivation is too strong.”

“The dead spirits and ghosts in the east are getting more and more reckless. They established a city of ghosts in Fallen-gods Mountain Range, which was called Yi City. It’s said that there’re no living creatures for hundreds of thousands of square miles around Yi City. All the cities and towns have vanished.”

“Ministry of War, East Region Saint Mansion and Martial Market Bank all sent their armies to try to attack Yi City, yet they didn’t succeed. Instead, they suffered grave losses.”

And then, they talked about the south and the north.

Death Zen Sect made a comeback, conquering a first-tier clan in the south that had an ancient inheritance. It established altars and spread doctrines. They admitted many disciples and confronted the imperial government. They had already conquered nine mansions and hundreds of counties.

Death Zen Elder titled himself ‘Holy Law Buddha’ and crowned eighteen Lohans and seventy-two Bodhisattvas, trying to fight Thousand Buddha Way for the legitimacy. He wanted to fight the First Central Empire for the control right of the world.

The most chaotic place was in the north.

It was said that immortal vampires had already conquered more than half of the territory. Billions of human beings were turned into the food of immortal vampires.

The army of the imperial government gathered in the north, fighting the immortal vampires to death.

It was said that some of the important cities, spiritual mountains and holy lands in the north were filled with blood. There were saints being killed every day, and mountains of bodies of ordinary soldiers were transported back to the central region.

The nine states in the central region were the center of the First Central Empire where the human beings gathered, but it was tumultuous.

The ghost city Yi City, Death Zen Sect and immortal vampires all sent a large group of great beings and got into the central region, leading to destruction and turmoil.

Besides, all the clans in the central region were all ambitious and wanted to make a gain in this chaotic time. There were so many connections between the Death Zen Sect and immortal vampires, and they were arranging the formation.

The central region that was supposed to be in peace was about to fall into chaos.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t expect the situation in Kunlun’s Field to get this worse, or that human powers were cooperating with immortal vampires. Don’t they know that they are being self-destructive?

“Is Chi Yao so powerful that she can stabilize the entire Kunlun’s Field?” Zhang Ruochen whispered to himself.

When Chi Yao was guarding the central capital city, the city was prosperous, and the martial arts were booming. The entire empire was thriving. The status of the human beings in Kunlun’s Field surged.

Right after Chi Yao disappeared, Kunlun’s Field turned into chaos. Countless human beings died; countless others became homeless and were captive.

Zhang Ruochen asked, “Is the war in the north really so tragic that even the imperial government can’t resist them?”

The First Central Empire was mighty. The Ministry of War itself was powerful enough to control all the void worlds and states. There was no reason that they couldn’t ward off the attack from immortal vampires.

A half saint who rushed back from the north sighed and said, “The imperial government gathered the Ministry of War, Earth God Temple and the power of Confucious, which is an unprecedented army, yet it was still crushed and couldn’t ward off the immortal vampires at all. When I was coming back, I saw dead bodies everywhere and heard gloomy songs everywhere.”

“It was said that immortal vampire saints lurked in the army, which is why spirits of the army were not stable, giving immortal vampires a chance to crush them.”

Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath.

As the crown prince of Sacred Central Empire, he was supposed to be happy, yet Zhang Ruochen didn’t feel pleased at all. Instead, he was worried.

“I need to publicize ‘Vampire Secrets’ as soon as possible, but how am I supposed to publicize that? Who should I entrust it to?”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes gleamed. He recalled someone who might be the best choice for him to entrust with the book.
