God Emperor

Roar!

Sikong One bared his fat white arms and overlapped with the huge white tiger shadow. He was filled with a might great enough to swallow a mountain.

Sikong Two flew in the air with his upper body bare. His black skin shone with metallic light. He crossed his black dragon claws like a furious metal statue.

The dragon and tiger spiraled through the world.

All the disciples in the Pearl Light Pavilion gasped. They stared in disbelief at Sikong One and Sikong Two standing before Gu Linfeng.

Kong Hongbi, seventh of the Half-Saint Rank, had actually been tossed out by two unknown monks. Weren’t the people on the Half-Saint Rank able to defeat everyone below the Saint Realm?

Even someone like Ouyang Huan shot to his feet. His eyes shone with abnormal light.

Qi Feiyu’s delicate fingers tapped the stone platform, trying to suppress her shock. “Could these two monks have reached the Saint Realm but hidden their cultivation?”

Ouyang Huan shook his head. “The two monks haven’t reached the Saint Realm, but they’re two anomalies. Their combat abilities are enough to counter the figures on the Half-Saint Realm. If they work together, probably only the top three on the list can stop them.”

Qi Yufei furrowed her graceful brow, finding it hard to understand. “Gu Linfeng is only a fourth level Half-Saint. How can he invite two such powerful figures? Plus, the two monks even called Gu Linfeng ‘senior uncle.’ Does the Blood God Sect have something to do with the Thousand Buddha Way?”

Ouyang Huan had similar suspicions. People like Sikong One and Two were above average even in the seven ancient sects. They were equal to the Deities. How could the Deity of the Blood God Sect control them?

At the moment, Mu Rongyue was also shocked. She stared at Sikong One and Two, studying them once again.

For the past two months, these two unreliable monks had given her a lot of trouble. She’d always tried to help resolve their conflicts because of Zhang Ruochen. Who would’ve known that they were actually so powerful?

That had been the seventh of the Half-Saint Rank, known as the top figure of the younger generation of Kunlun’s Field after the Five Heroes List. How could these two defeat him?

Tonight, Sikong One and Sikong Two’s names would be known throughout the world.

Zhang Ruochen was a bit surprised as well. Kong Hongbi wasn’t weak. Even if Zhang Ruochen had used all his tricks, he wouldn’t have been able to defeat the man.

At first, Zhang Ruochen had prepared to open the third seal of the sarira to resolve tonight’s situation. Sikong One and Two’s power had really helped him.

Bu Qianfan, hanging on a pillar on the left of the pavilion, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes shone with intimidating battle intent. He hadn’t died. His entire body radiated with energy and was still very strong.

He extended an arm and pulled the halberd out of his chest. Blood dripped down, but he seemed not to feel any pain.

Thud!

His feet landed on the ground. Immediately activating his Holy Qi, he began to heal himself.

Shreds of Immortal Qi surged from his blood to his heart. Soon, his shattered body was reconstructed and his injuries mostly healed.

Seeing this, everyone was terrified.

“I’d heard that Bu Qianfan has the Immortal Saint Body. Even if his head is cut off, he can grow it back. I always thought that it was an exaggeration and couldn’t be true. Now, I kind of believe it!”

“As expected of the top heroes of the Kunlun’s Field. Everyone is divine and a king. You can’t judge them like you judge a regular person.”

Murong Chengfeng and Saint General Yan Xu had stopped battling and returned to their spots. Saint General Yan Xu was covered in bloody wounds. Breathing heavily, he looked at the crowd outside the pavilion and felt his scalp go numb.

Who would’ve thought that they were this powerful?

“Young Master, you’re hurt!” Saint General Yan Xu was worried when he saw Kong Hongbi.

Looking at the claw mark on his chest, Kong Hongbi scoffed. “It’s just a scratch.”

Whoosh.

A layer of blue light surged out of Kong Hongbi. The claw mark on his chest quickly healed until only white skin remained.

Sikong One raised an arm with quivering muscles. “Kid,” he roared. “You want to attack Senior Uncle with your abilities? I think you better go and practice for a few more years.”

Kong Hongbi let out a long sigh. Staring at Sikong One and Sikong Two, he huffed coldly, “You two are indeed strong, but if I fight with all my might, you two will die with no bodies to bury.”

“That’s wild. In that case, let’s fight again and see how you’ll do that to us.” Sikong One was furious. He felt that Kong Hongbi was too arrogant and needed a lesson.

Kong Hongbi, Sikong One, and Sikong Two prepared to fight again, but a graceful voice in the distance said, “Wait.”

Following that, Ouyang Huan and Qi Feiyu crossed the defensive formation outside the river together and appeared on the riverbank. In addition, the upper levels of the Pearl Light Pavilion also appeared. They grouped together behind Ouyang Huan and Qi Feiyu.

There weren’t many Monks who knew Ouyang Huan and Qi Feiyu. But when they saw that the head of the Pearl Light Pavilion stood behind Ouyang Huan and Qi Feiyu, they vaguely guessed who the two were.

Ouyang Huan looked very handsome and charming. Putting his hands together, he smiled and said, “Brother Kong, Brother Gu, you two are the leaders of the Sacred Central Crypt and Blood God Sect. Why damage the relationship between you two for a woman?”

Zhang Ruochen glanced at Ouyang Huan and smiled faintly.

Ouyang Huan and Qi Feiyu must have come to the Pearl Light Pavilion early on to watch the show in the background. They must have wanted Kong Hongbi to teach him a lesson so the two forces could have a conflict. Thus, they didn’t reveal themselves.

Since Sikong One and Two displayed power at the same level of Kong Hongbi, if the three continued fighting, the defensive formation around the river wouldn’t be able to stop the shockwaves. If the formation broke, the entire Pearl Light Pavilion would probably be destroyed. How could they keep watching?

Seeing Ouyang Huan appear, Kong Hongbi put his Holy Qi away. With a toss of his sleeves, he huffed. “Brother Ouyang, don’t blame me for not respecting you, but I’ve already negotiated a price with the pavilion lord. Now, Gu Linfeng stepped in, wanting to take it. How can I swallow this anger?”

Ouyang Huan walked over. With each step, a black lotus appeared under his feet. Rings of black rippled out as well.

He was soon standing between Kong Hongbi and Zhang Ruochen. Looking at Zhang Ruochen, he smiled. “Brother Gu, fighting intensely for a woman isn’t a heroic act. How about you give Beauty Shi to Brother Kong and I give you 100 pretty young girls?”

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t determine Ouyang Huan’s true cultivation, but when he saw the black lotuses, he knew that Ouyang Huan was very close to the Saint Realm. If he wasn’t a ninth level Half-Saint, then he was in the eighth level.

Ouyang Huan made the black lotuses from the Rules of Saintly Way. It was clear that he was flexing his muscles to scare Zhang Ruochen and Kong Hongbi.

If Zhang Ruochen lacked judgement, then Ouyang Huan would side with Kong Hongbi and defeat Zhang Ruochen. If Kong Hongbi didn’t listen to him, he would do the opposite.

Of the triangle, the power was mostly in Ouyang Huan’s hands. One had to admit, he was much wiser than Kong Hongbi.

“Can 100 pretty girls be compared to one Beauty Shi?” Zhang Ruochen was determined and didn’t budge at all. “How much did Kong Hongbi offer? I’ll pay ten times the amount.”

Hearing this, even Kong Hongbi thought he was crazy. Kong Hongbi didn’t know the true identity of Beauty Shi. He only thought she was an abnormally beautiful girl and didn’t care that much about her.

Earlier, he’d only fought with Zhang Ruochen because he couldn’t swallow the anger. Plus, he thought he could take care of Gu Linfeng easily and didn’t think much about him.

Now, things were different. Gu Linfeng wasn’t easily defeated. Plus, the Ministry of War, Excellence Hall of Black Market, Thousand Buddha Way, and Demonic Sect were all involved. No matter how powerful the Sacred Central Crypt was, he didn’t dare to offend them all at once.

Thus, Kong Hongbi had to think about if it was worth it to continue fighting for a beauty.

The pavilion lord of the Pearl Light Pavilion stood on the riverbank and announced, “The Young Master offered one hundred million Spiritual Crystals to buy Beauty Shi for one night.”

Hearing this price, all the monks on the riverbank were dumbfounded.

“As expected of the Sacred Central Crypt’s Young Master. He’s rich and willing to spend. He actually spent one hundred million Spiritual Crystals, just to buy Beauty Shi for one night.”

“One hundred million Spiritual Crystals can buy a first level Half-Saint war slave.”

“Give me one hundred million and I’ll buy 1,000 beauties to take turns serving me, ha.”

“Keep dreaming. A low-level Half-Saint’s entire capital won’t add up to one hundred million. You’ll have no hope even if you work your entire life.”

…

“I’ll give one billion Spiritual Crystals and Beauty Shi belongs to me from now on. If anyone continues fighting with me for her, either you die or I die,” Zhang Ruochen warned with an unmovable attitude.

Since he said this, even a Saint would have to reconsider if it was worth it before competing with him.

One billion Spiritual Crystals was 100 saint stones. Other Half-Saints might think this was a huge fortune, but Zhang Ruochen didn’t care.

With a wave of his sleeve, he tossed the 100 saint stones forward. They flew toward the Pearl Light Pavilion’s leader like a rain of light.

Kong Hongbi’s eyes widened. Furious, he wanted to rush forward, but Ouyang Huan stopped him. Ouyang Huan muttered something in his ear and Kong Hongbi gradually calmed down. He didn’t immediately attack Zhang Ruochen.

“If I didn’t have to attend the auction to buy a gift for the crypt leader’s 500th birthday,” Kong Hongbi said coldly, “I’d definitely get to the bottom of this with you.”

“We can do it any time,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Just then, an old woman with white hair and a lady, dressed in palace wear and her face covered, appeared on the riverbank. They walked to the Pearl Light Pavilion leader and Qi Feiyu.

The lady in palace wear seemed to have an extraordinary status. Even the pavilion leader and Qi Feiyu bowed immediately when seeing this.

Zhang Ruochen naturally noticed this. He also looked at the lady curiously. Why did the Saintess of the Demonic Sect bow to her too?

The lady’s surroundings were filled with mysterious energy. She also had a veil, so Zhang Ruochen couldn’t see her features. He couldn’t determine her age. She seemed young but also a bit old.

She said something to the pavilion leader. Then her eyes turned to the pavilion. Standing to the side, Qi Feiyu’s brow furrowed when she heard what the lady had said to the leader. She looked confused.

The pavilion leader looked toward Zhang Ruochen. “Deity, we will sell Beauty Shi to you, but there’s a condition.”

“What condition?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

The pavilion chuckled. “Tonight, you must sleep with Beauty Shi and take her virginity.”

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen wasn’t the only one surprised. The other Monks present were all shocked.

“Lord, are you joking?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“Of course not.” The pavilion leader shook his head. “This is the rule of the Pearl Light Pavilion. All female servants must enter as virgins and can only leave when they lose their virginities.”

“There’s a rule like this?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“There wasn’t before, but now there is!”

Zhang Ruochen obviously didn’t think that the pavilion leader had added this rule because he had nothing better to do. This must have something to do with the woman in palace clothing. Her target was clearly Ling Feiyu.

Zhang Ruochen suspected that she knew Beauty Shi was Ling Feiyu.

Then, who exactly was this woman? What was her goal? To further destroy Ling Feiyu’s will?

Zhang Ruochen shook his head. He couldn’t imagine what kind of perverted person would use this to torment Ling Feiyu.

No, the woman isn’t only going against Ling Feiyu. She’s also testing me. Did my powerful performance catch her suspicion?

Thinking of this, Zhang Ruochen’s palms started sweating. He subtly peered at the woman in the distance. He saw that she was also staring at him with suspicion.

Just then, Zhang Ruochen felt faint coldness shrouding his head. He suddenly realized just how dangerous of a state he was in now. Without a doubt, he’d entered the vortex of the Demonic Sect’s inner conflicts.

If they knew that Zhang Ruochen knew Beauty Shi’s true identity, they would definitely kill him to keep the secret. By then, neither he nor Beauty Shi would be able to leave Pearl Light Pavilion alive.

Seeing Zhang Ruochen’s hesitation, Kong Hongbi sneered. “Gu Linfeng, can you do it? If you can’t, I can help you.”

“He has a hard attitude, but his body might not be hard, ha!”

Saint General Yan Xu and Gui Gu laughed uproariously. They stared at Zhang Ruochen’s lower body with a strange expression.
