Tianmo Ridge is a relatively desolate area in the Eastern Region. Many places are deserted for hundreds of miles, wild beasts are rampant, and savage beasts are infested, giving people a primitive and vast feeling.
At this moment, deep in a forest covered with purple maple pines, on the ground covered with fallen leaves, sat a woman wearing a blood-red robe.
It is the Blood Spirit King.
After spending half a day, she finally suppressed the chaotic power of the semi-holy light in her body, regained her strength, and stood up from the ground.
"Zhang Ruochen is actually proficient in soul summoning techniques and has also refined the holy blood of Jin Yun Semi-Saint. He must be killed, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
The Blood Spirit King possesses a part of Jinyun Semi-Saint's memory, so she knows that the secret technique Zhang Ruochen used previously was the Soul-Calling Technique.
The Blood Spirit King's strength is many times higher than that of Zhang Ruochen, but just because Zhang Ruochen has the holy blood of the Golden Cloud Semi-Saint in his body, he can restrain her to the death.
If Zhang Ruochen does not die, even if she does reach the semi-saint realm in the future, she will still be suppressed by Zhang Ruochen.
A blood spirit flew from a distance, half-knelt in front of the blood spirit king, and said in a hoarse voice: "Report to the king, Zhang Ruochen went to Tianmo Wucheng."
The Blood Spirit King frowned and said to himself: "Tianmo Martial City, hidden dragons and crouching tigers, experts are like clouds, and more than half of the strong men from the thirty-six counties of Tianmo Ridge are concentrated there. With my current strength, I can't even do it."
You can’t blatantly break into Tianmo Martial City.”
After pondering for a moment, the Blood Spirit King finally decided to go to Tianmo Wucheng. Even if there was a certain danger, Zhang Ruochen must be eliminated as a hidden danger.
Of course, she was not going to force her way into Tianmo Martial City, but sneaked in low-key and slowly looked for opportunities to kill Zhang Ruochen.
…
…………
Zhang Ruochen returned to Tianmo Wucheng and immediately went to the Yinpao Elder Pavilion to pay homage to Lei Jing.
Lei Jing was in a good mood when he saw Zhang Ruochen returned to the academy safe and sound, but soon, he frowned slightly and said: "Zhang Ruochen, you have lost a lot of blood and you have been seriously injured. Could it be true?"
Did that old man Hua Qingye hurt you?"
After returning from Tongming River, Lei Jing immediately rushed to the royal city of Yunwu Commandery. Unfortunately, he was a step too late. By that time, the battle between Zhang Ruochen and Hua Qingye had ended, and the entire palace was in ruins.
After some investigation, Lei Jing asked the surviving maids and eunuchs in the palace, and finally determined that the one-armed old man who fought with Zhang Ruochen was Hua Qingye, the president of the Poisonous Spider Chamber of Commerce.
Lei Jing mobilized all the human resources of Wushi Bank in the royal city and searched for three days, but could not find Zhang Ruochen and Hua Qingye.
Today, Lei Jing returned to Wushi Academy, preparing to issue an order to mobilize all the manpower of Wushi Academy and Wushi Bank in the thirty-six counties of Tianmo Ridge to search for Zhang Ruochen.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ruochen returned to Wushi Academy by himself.
Due to excessive blood loss, Zhang Ruochen's face was indeed a little pale. He shook his head gently and said, "Hua Qingye is dead!"
"died?"
Lei Jing's eyes widened, showing a bit of shock, and said: "Did you kill him?"
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "Master, do you think that with my ability, I can kill a strong man in the Fish and Dragon Realm?"
"That's right. Although Hua Qingye is only the first-level fish-dragon warrior, and can only be regarded as the bottom group of people in the fish-dragon realm, with your cultivation level, it is estimated that even one of his hairs
It can’t be hurt,” Lei Jing said.
When Lei Jing said this, he did not mean to belittle Zhang Ruochen, but he spoke the most truthful words.
Even among the warriors who have entered the "Tianbang", few can compete with the warriors of the Fish and Dragon Realm. What's more, Zhang Ruochen is still at the middle stage of the Tianji Realm. Compared with the warriors on the "Tianbang", there are still
big difference.
Lei Jing asked: "In Tianmo Ridge, there are only a dozen or so warriors who have reached the fish-dragon realm, and each of them is the overlord of one party. Who killed Hua Qingye?"
"Blood Spirit King." Zhang Ruochen said.
"Is there such a strong person in the martial arts world of Tianmoling?" Lei Jing said.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said: "Master, do you ever remember the blood-sucking evil demon that escaped from Chikong Secret Mansion?"
"Of course I remember that at the beginning, Wu City Academy sent ten masters to surround and kill her, but she killed three of them and finally broke through and escaped."
"In the past year, blood-sucking tragedies have occurred in almost all the thirty-six counties of Tianmoling. Some people in a village drank their blood and died, some people in a city disappeared, and some people in a sect turned into mummies.
All the fingers are pointed at him."
"Not only our Wushi Academy, Yuntai Zongfu, Taiqing Palace, Theology Sect, and even the Demon Sect are investigating her, but her whereabouts are strange, and almost no masters from the major forces have seen her true identity.
.Everyone who has seen her has lost all information. It is estimated that they were poisoned by her."
"Based on the intelligence collected by Wu City Academy, statistics show that that vampire demon has caused the death of at least 1.6 million people, many of whom were warriors. How terrifying it is to absorb the blood of so many humans.
I don’t know how much strength she has grown to now?”
"Could it be..."
Lei Jing stared at Zhang Ruochen, his eyes bursting with sharp light, and said: "Could it be that the Blood Spirit King you are referring to is the vampire demon?"
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, "That's her."
"How strong is she now?" Lei Jing asked.
Being able to kill Hua Qingye is definitely considered a dangerous person. If necessary, Lei Jing will report the news of the Blood Spirit King to the headquarters of Wushi Bank in the East Region.
The Eastern Region Headquarters will then send experts to Tianmo Ridge to kill her.
Alternatively, Wushi Qianzhuang could report the news to the First Central Empire's court, and have the First Central Empire send troops to annihilate her.
Since Empress Chi Yao came to the throne, she has focused on "internal stability and external expansion." Within the territory of the First Central Empire, any factors that affect stability will be suppressed as soon as possible.
Just like the four-winged earth dragon who dominated Tianmo Ridge, even though he had become a saint, he was still killed by the army of the First Central Empire.
It is precisely because of the foundation of "internal stability and external expansion" that in the past five hundred years, martial arts in Kunlun have flourished, saints have emerged in large numbers, geniuses have emerged, and the power of the human race has become stronger and stronger. It seems that a prosperous age is coming.
.
Zhang Ruochen said: "According to my guess, the Blood Spirit King is now roughly equivalent to the strength of a warrior in the fourth transformation of fish and dragon."
"It's so strong."
Lei Jing frowned and started thinking.
With the strength of the Blood Spirit King, in Tianmo Ridge, apart from the Half-Saints, there are only three people who can hold her down.
Of course Lei Jing is also one of those three people.
However, if the Blood Spirit King wants to escape, even with Lei Jing's cultivation, he may not be able to stop her.
Is it necessary to alarm the Semi-Saint?
Currently, there is only one Half Saint in charge of Tianmo Wucheng, and that is Half Saint Han Jue of Yuntai Sect.
"It seems that I have to take some time to go to Yuntai Zongfu and visit Senior Han Jue." Lei Jing thought in his heart.
With the strength of Tianmoling, it is still capable of suppressing the Blood Spirit King, so there is no need to report it yet. Even if it is reported, the people above will analyze the strength of the Blood Spirit King, and the final approval should be for them to take action on their own.
If the Blood Spirit King's cultivation reaches the seventh fish-dragon transformation, the Eastern Region Headquarters and the First Central Empire's court will really take it seriously. After all, a strong person with the seventh fish-dragon transformation has the possibility of being promoted to a semi-saint.
, it must be killed.
Lei Jing stared at Zhang Ruochen and said with a smile: "You can escape from the Blood Spirit King. It can only be said that you are very lucky. For the time being, you should stay in Wushi Academy and don't go out. As for the Blood Spirit King's
Yes, I already have a way to deal with her. As long as she dares to show up, she will die without a burial place."
Lei Jing only thought that the Blood Spirit King was trying to kill Hua Qingye and Zhang Ruochen took the opportunity to escape, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Suddenly, Lei Jing's face became serious and said: "There is another thing. This time, you defeated Di Yi at Tongming River. It will definitely cause quite a sensation in the entire east. You must be mentally prepared.
, the black market and the Demon Cult will probably send many experts to assassinate you."
"You must go to the Holy Court as soon as possible. Only when you enter the Holy Court will they be unable to do anything to you."
"As for the affairs of Yunwu County, don't worry about it. I will help you make arrangements. From now on, you will be the king of Yunwu County."
Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly. In fact, he wanted the fourth prince Zhang Shaochu to succeed him as the king of Yunwu County.
He himself does not want to be a prince, he just wants to pursue a higher realm of martial arts.
Lei Jing stared at Zhang Ruochen deeply and said, "I know what you are thinking. You want your brother Zhang Shaochu to be the king of Yunwu County, right?"
"This is indeed what my disciple thinks."
Zhang Ruochen knew that he couldn't hide it from Lei Jing. After all, Lei Jing controlled Wushi Bank, which meant he controlled the largest intelligence agency in Tianmoling. There were very few things that he didn't know.
How could Zhang Ruochen hide his thoughts from him?
Lei Jing said: "I have a deep meaning in asking you to be the king of Yunwu County. Soon, you will go to the Holy Land of the Eastern Region to take the assessment of the Holy Academy."
"A prince of an inferior county may not be that great in the eyes of the semi-holy families and saints in the Eastern Divine Land. However, it represents a title, and it represents that you are the imperial court of the First Central Empire.
Among the canonized officials, whoever dares to kill you blatantly is going against the imperial court of the First Central Empire. Who has the courage?"
Zhang Ruochen finally understood what Lei Jing meant and nodded gently, "I see."
Lei Jing smiled and said: "Actually, you only need to bear the title of a lower-ranking king now, and your brother will temporarily manage Yunwu County for you. When you become stronger in the future, you will no longer need this title.
When the time comes to protect him, it will not be too late to pass the throne to him."
"Furthermore, I think that your brother's talent is not very outstanding, and his future achievements will be limited. It is better to let your sister be the king of Yunwu County. Her talent is far away.
Above Zhang Shaochu, he is now the top master in the Western Academy, and I believe he will be able to enter the Inner Palace Academy soon."
"Sister? You mean Sister Ninth? She has become the number one expert in the West Academy?"
Zhang Ruochen felt happy in his heart. Fortunately, Ninth Sister was practicing in the West Courtyard and escaped from the disaster. Otherwise, Zhang Tiangui would never let her go.
