Zhou Yu cut off his arm in public, feeling extremely ashamed and angry.
It was even more humiliating than the last time I fell into the Blood God Cult.
But Zhou Yu couldn't help it. Zhang Ruochen was notoriously ruthless towards his enemies. How many masters in the heaven world died in his hands?
It's pity that Zhou Yu is the leader of the heaven world, the son of God, and the one whom the Temple of Light strives to cultivate. His status is so noble. But now, he has lost all his face.
Over the long years, among the generations of leaders in the heaven world, no one should be more aggrieved than Zhou Yu.
"I'll spare you this time, but it's best not to have another chance. Keep these words in mind." Zhang Ruochen's voice sounded in Zhou Yu's ears again.
Although Zhou Yu was not angry, he felt as if he had been forgiven.
With a soft breath, Zhou Yu didn't hesitate at all, and immediately took Bolan with him, turned into a stream of light, and left the Lianzhu Mansion.
This time in the paradise world, it can be said that he has lost all his face. Naturally, it is impossible for Zhou Yu to stay any longer to avoid being laughed at.
What's more, with Zhang Ruochen in the dark, it may be difficult for the Heaven Realm to take advantage of this council, and instead it will be restricted everywhere.
"What exactly is going on? Could it be that someone secretly forced Zhou Yu to do this?"
"With Zhou Yu's strength and identity, who can intimidate him like this?"
"It is true that ordinary people cannot threaten Zhou Yu, but there is one person who can. That person can even intimidate everyone here."
"Are you talking about...Zhang Ruochen?" someone exclaimed.
When the words "Zhang Ruochen" were mentioned, many leaders of the big world in Lianzhu Mansion couldn't help but change their expressions.
No one is stupid.
It is probably only Zhang Ruochen who can quietly make Chi Kongle's Five Elements Chaos Body shine and double the power of the Time Sword Technique.
Thinking about it more carefully, Zhang Ruochen definitely had a special purpose for threatening Zhou Yu and cutting off his arm in public.
It is clearly a warning to everyone that they must consider the consequences before doing anything.
Thinking of this, countless monks couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, "It seems that Zhang Ruochen, who is invincible under the Great Sage, has quietly arrived in the Central Imperial City."
"We have to notify him immediately so that the monks from the Mother Realm can act in a low-key manner in the imperial city. Don't hit the edge of the knife like Zhou Yu and others." A leader of the big world thought so in his heart.
For a time, the atmosphere in the Ninth Mansion became much more depressing, and many monks felt like they were being overwhelmed by Zhang Ruochen.
With Zhang Ruochen's unscrupulous behavior, not many people can be unscrupulous, no matter how prominent their background is. Zhou Yu is the best example.
"Wow——"
A layer of mist emerged on Linghu Lake.
The fog, like smoke and clouds, quickly engulfed the figures of Chi Kongle, Zhenyuan, Fairy Cihang and Wang Shiqi, causing them to disappear among the red walls and green tiles.
Those fogs were able to cut off all perception, and the four of them seemed to disappear out of thin air.
Zhenyuan, Fairy Cihang, and Wang Shiqi were all top-notch experts. They had already sensed the situation and looked at each other. Then they sat down at a stone table, as if waiting for something.
A tall figure slowly walked out of the mist, stepping on the lake water, creating circles of tiny ripples, and appeared in the field of vision of Chi Kongle and the others.
It was none other than Zhang Ruochen who had put away the "Thirty-Six Changes" and restored his true colors.
Chi Kongle stared at that figure closely, holding his breath, biting his lower lip lightly, and his eyes became slightly red.
Slowly, Zhang Ruochen walked up to Chi Kongle and stared at her tall figure, with rich and deep emotions in his eyes.
With a flip of his hand, Zhang Ruochen took out a transparent jade box and handed it to Chi Kongle. A smile full of tenderness appeared on the face that made monks from the hell world and heaven world fearful when they saw it: "Kong Le, I
I don’t know what gift I should give you... Hehe... Are you thirsty? I don’t know if this fruit is sweet or not, why don’t you try it."
Zhang Ruochen actually didn't know how to be a father, so when he saw Chi Kongle at this moment, he actually felt a little overwhelmed.
In the jade box, there is a fist-sized fruit, which emits a faint crystal brilliance and is soaked in a clear liquid.
"Is that the legendary... Great Sage Dao Fruit?"
On the side, Wang Shiqi suddenly widened his eyes.
As a sage master of Confucianism and Taoism, Wang Shiqi was well-informed, and he recognized at a glance that the fruit Zhang Ruochen took out was the extremely precious Great Sage Taoist Fruit, which has the miraculous effect of conquering the heaven and earth.
Zhang Ruochen actually used such a precious treasure to quench Chi Kongle's thirst. He had never seen anything crazier than this.
This is the Great Sage Fruit. According to legend, as long as one is refined, one can not say that it is 100% possible to cultivate to the realm of the Great Sage, but it is not too different.
Wang Shiqi's qualifications are no weaker than anyone else's, but he lacks the heart of the Great Sage, which has prevented him from breaking through to the Great Sage Realm.
The Great Sage Fruit has a strange effect, that is, it can make up for the lack of the Great Sage's heart and pave the way to become a Great Sage.
Therefore, Wang Shiqi's eyes showed a strong look of desire at this moment.
Fairy Zhenyuan and Cihang also showed signs of surprise. They didn't expect Zhang Ruochen to be able to get such a rare treasure.
Chi Kongle did not pick up the jade box, but threw himself directly into Zhang Ruochen's arms. Tears flowed out uncontrollably, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances he had suffered.
"Father, I miss you so much. Why haven't you come to see me all this time? Didn't you promise me that when you return to Kunlun Realm, you will take me to Kongle Mountain and take me to see thousands of lights, mountains and rivers..."
Chi Kongle kept sobbing, his big tears kept sliding down to the ground, and his slender body was twitching slightly.
Hearing Chi Kongle's sobs, Zhang Ruochen felt filled with guilt. He was really a very unfit father and had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father.
Zhang Ruochen's heart was trembling. Even though he tried hard to tense up, straighten his back, and be as determined as a mountain, his eyes still started to turn red, and there were tears in his eyes. He couldn't help but raise his hands and hug Chi Kongle tightly.
"If Kong Le doesn't cry, it's all because of his father. He will definitely do what he promised you."
Zhang Ruochen reached out and stroked Chi Kongle's head, comforting him softly.
Chi Kongle's mood always seemed very excited, "Father, I'm so scared. I'm afraid I'll never see you again. Please don't leave me in the future, okay?"
"Don't be afraid, father will always be by your side, and no one can bully you." Zhang Ruochen's voice was slightly trembling, with an indescribable feeling.
Seeing Chi Kongle crying, his heart almost broke!
After all, Chi Kongle is still just a child and should not have to bear so many worries.
No matter what, he will never let Chi Kongle suffer any injustice from now on, even if he is a god.
Wang Shiqi stood aside and cast his eyes on Zhang Ruochen, his eyes looking very complicated.
He once regarded Zhang Ruochen as a rebellious official and a traitor, and he advised Empress Chi Yao more than once, strongly advocating that Zhang Ruochen should be killed to avoid future troubles.
Unexpectedly, today's Kunlun world needs Zhang Ruochen to hold up the sky, and their Confucianism and Taoism have inherited a huge favor from Zhang Ruochen.
Without Zhang Ruochen, the situation in the Kunlun Realm would inevitably be more difficult. At least, the major worlds would plunder without any scruples, and no one would be able to stop it.
During the battle at the Sword Tomb, Zhang Ruochen defended the Netherworld Dungeon and did not let the undead vampires release the imprisoned Hades.
During the battle at Xianji Mountain in the Northern Territory, Zhang Ruochen destroyed the Dead Clan's conspiracy, preventing the Dead Clan from absorbing the power of resurrection in the Northern Territory. He even blocked the world passage, making it more difficult for the Dead Clan to enter the Kunlun Realm.
During the battle on True Dragon Island, Zhang Ruochen not only protected the key to the world gate, but also greatly demoralized the hell world.
It can be said that almost everything Zhang Ruochen did after returning to the Kunlun Realm had a huge impact on the Kunlun Realm, changing the direction of the overall situation time and time again.
"Is my vision too narrow?" Wang Shiqi asked himself.
After a long time, Chi Kongle's emotions gradually calmed down and he left Zhang Ruochen's arms.
Zhang Ruochen reached out and gently touched Chi Kongle's head, then thrust the jade box containing the Great Sage's Fruit into his hand.
After adjusting his emotions, Zhang Ruochen asked Zhenyuan and
Fairy Cihang walked over and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Zhenyuan, Senior Sister Cihang, long time no see."
Although he is now stronger than Fairy Zhenyuan and Cihang, he is not arrogant at all and appears to be extremely easy-going.
"Junior Brother Zhang, your growth rate really surprises me. Just a short time has passed since we left Xianji Mountain, and your strength has already reached an invincible level under the Great Sage. Even Yan Wushen was defeated by
In your hands, only your deterrence can force Zhou Yu to cut off his arm." Zhenyuan said with emotion.
Zhenyuan began to pay attention to Zhang Ruochen from the time he set foot in the Realm of Truth. It can be said that he watched Zhang Ruochen grow up step by step.
With Zhang Ruochen's current strength, he has undoubtedly been recognized by the Taoist lineage.
Chi Kongle stepped forward. Although his eyes were still red, he still bowed obediently and said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhenyuan, for coming to my rescue."
Zhenyuan waved his hand and said: "It's just a small matter, no need to be too polite. Even if I don't come forward, Junior Brother Zhang will definitely have a solution."
"Speaking of which, Junior Sister Cihang and I followed Junior Brother Zhang to Ling Lake because we accidentally discovered the traces of Junior Brother Zhang. We happened to encounter these things."
If Zhang Ruochen hadn't been discovered, how could Zhenyuan and Fairy Cihang have stayed in a place where juniors were communicating?
At this time, Zhang Ruochen turned his attention to Fairy Cihang and said seriously: "Senior Sister Cihang, can you tell me which emperor became a Buddha in the Western Heaven?"
At the very beginning, Zhang Ruochen subjectively determined that since he had the Eight Dragon Umbrella, the emperor must be Emperor Ming.
But later, after he thought about it carefully, he had other ideas.
Eight hundred years ago, there were a total of nine emperors in the human race of Kunlun Realm. Although the Buddha Emperor and the Demon Emperor died, there were still seven emperors. Except for Emperor Wen, all the other six emperors had disappeared. Therefore, Xitian became a Buddha.
That person may not be Emperor Ming.
However, since the opponent has the Eight Dragon Umbrella in his hand, he must have a deep relationship with Emperor Ming. Through him, he may be able to get clues about Emperor Ming.
Therefore, no matter what, Zhang Ruochen wanted to find out the identity of the emperor.
Unexpectedly, Fairy Cihang shook her head and said: "As for the identity of the emperor, not many people even in the Western Buddha Realm know about it. I'm sorry that I can't tell you."
Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but feel moved. He didn't expect that the emperor's identity was so mysterious. Are he worried about something?
Since the unification process of Kunlun Realm began, Emperor Ming, Emperor Wu, Emperor Dao, Emperor Sword, Emperor Wen and Emperor Qing have disappeared without a trace one after another. No one knows where they went. It was not until recent years that Emperor Wen reappeared.
There are also the three queens of the past, the blood queen, the soul queen and the phantom queen. The blood queen is said to have been killed, but is still alive and well in the second gradient of the endless abyss, but the soul queen and phantom queen are missing.
If you think about it carefully, all this is too weird. Where did the Six Emperors and Two Empresses go? Are they planning something secretly?
Zhang Ruochen thought about it, but he didn't have any answer. Perhaps he could only solve part of the mystery when he met the emperor who became a Buddha in the West.
After chatting with Zhenyuan and Fairy Cihang about the hell army, Zhang Ruochen took Chi Kongle and left the Lianzhu Mansion. He didn't want to go out into the open yet.
Chi Kongle held Zhang Ruochen's arm tightly, with a pure and bright smile on his face, putting aside all his depression and worries.
"Father, is the Queen really my mother?"
Although she already had the answer in her heart, Chi Kongle still wanted Zhang Ruochen to tell her personally.
Hearing this question, Zhang Ruochen's steps couldn't help but stagnate, and his calm mind experienced great ups and downs.
Queen Chi Yao's original deception was a difficult hurdle for Zhang Ruochen to overcome.
However, now that things have come to a point, Zhang Ruochen will naturally no longer hide it. Chi Kongle has the right to know this.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, "Yes."
Hearing this, Chi Kongle couldn't help but fell silent. Since she knew that Zhang Ruochen was her biological father, she secretly investigated many things and learned about the grudges between Zhang Ruochen and Queen Chi Yao, but this not only failed to solve her
Confusion only made her have more doubts.
What puzzles Chi Kongle the most is what is the meaning of her and Chi Kunlun's existence? Since Queen Chi Yao is so heartless towards Zhang Ruochen, why did she give birth to them?
Chi Kongle believed that Zhang Ruochen was sincerely good to her, but Queen Chi Yao's love was also true.
Now, the one thing Chi Kong Le hopes for most is to be able to reunite as a family and enjoy both father's and mother's love at the same time.
But Chi Kongle also understood that this was just an extravagant wish of hers. The conflict between Zhang Ruochen and Queen Chi Yao was a knot that no one could untie. Can she untie this knot?
"Father, do you know where my brother is?" Chi Kongle asked.
Compared to others, Chi Kongle is now more concerned about Chi Kunlun's safety.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Well, don't worry, your brother will be fine, and father will reunite you soon."
A big reason why he came to the Central Imperial City this time was to rescue Chi Kunlun from Yan Wushen.
If you can't protect the people you care about, how can you protect the Kunlun Realm?
Chi Kongle spent the next three days extremely happy, because having Zhang Ruochen by her side, chatting with her, and practicing sword practice with her made her forget almost all her worries.
Although it didn't last long, Chi Kongle was already very satisfied.
Zhang Ruochen stood under a green willow tree, looking at Chi Kongle playing in the stream with a smile, and his eyes showed a deep look of happiness.
The three days he spent with Chi Kongle were the most relaxing and happiest days for him in so many years.
"How great it would be if time could stop at this moment." Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.
If he had a choice, he didn't want to be the strongest person under the Great Sage, let alone fight and kill. He just wanted to be an ordinary person who could provide more companionship to his relatives and friends around him.
"Uh-huh."
A slight movement sounded, bringing Zhang Ruochen back to reality.
A fat pig-like rabbit and a tall and powerful demon ape flashed out of the forest.
The two of them are none other than Huo Guo and the Demon Ape.
"Master Chen, we are here. If you have any questions, please give me orders." Guo Guo ran to Zhang Ruochen's side and said very attentively.
Zhang Ruochen reached out and grabbed the soft hair on Guo Guo's neck. Guo Guo's body immediately shrank and was gently lifted up, with a smile on his lips.
"Kong Le, come here, father will give you a gift."
Chi Kongle did not hesitate and immediately ran back to the shore, looking at Zhang Ruochen expectantly.
Zhang Ruochen handed over the furry pot and said, "I'll give them to you so they can talk and play with you."
Hearing this, Guo Guo immediately widened his eyes and struggled: "What? Master Chen, you specially summoned Guo Guo, me and that silly big devil ape, just to give us to a little girl as pets?
"
"What? Do you have any objections? You two should stay with Kong Le from now on. If she is unhappy, I will blame you two." Zhang Ruochen said.
Guo Guo shrinks his neck and quickly flatters her: "How can I do that? I'm just asking. Guo Guo and I will definitely be a pet for little Princess Kong Le in the future. This is my honor."
After receiving the summons from Zhang Ruochen, I thought something was going to happen, but Guo Guo rushed over in a hurry. Who knew it would be like this? It almost made him feel like crying without tears.
Chi Kongle reached out to take the pot, stroked it gently, and said with a smile: "What a cute rabbit, chubby, I like it very much, thank you father."
"As long as you like it." Zhang Ruochen had a doting smile on his face.
The reason why Zhang Ruochen specially summoned Guoguo and Demon Ape from Wang Mountain was that he hoped that they could accompany and protect Chi Kongle.
After all, he still has a lot of things to do, and he can't always be by Chi Kongle's side.
In fact, Zhang Ruochen wanted to bring Chi Kongle into the Qiankun Realm, which was the safest way, but Chi Kongle was unwilling and did not want to stay out of the Central Imperial City's critical juncture of life and death.
In desperation, Zhang Ruochen had no choice but to make such an arrangement.
Guoguo and Demon Ape are both Dao realm practitioners and extremely powerful. With them by Chi Kongle's side, Zhang Ruochen can feel more at ease.

I was delayed by something today, so the update is late. Hold your fist.
