On the edge of the Tomb of the Dead God, the army of the Ministry of War is building a fortress. Although it is only a short time, a towering city wall has been built. From a distance, it looks like a black mountain ridge lying across the ground.
Formation towers also rise from the ground, forming connections with each other and forming a large formation to defend this area airtight.
On the west side of the fortress, there is a palace suspended in mid-air.
It can be seen that soldiers wearing armor are neatly arranged on both sides of the palace.
At this moment, a clone of Wan Qinglu's holy statue was sitting directly above the palace.
Wan Qingluo is one of the commanders guarding the Tomb of the God of Death. At the same time, he is also the third most important figure in the Wan Family in the Central Region, second only to the head of the Wan Family and an ancestor of the Wan Family who has lived for thousands of years.
Wan Ji, wearing armor, strode into the palace, knelt down on one knee and said: "Report to the Seventh Grand Duke that Zhang Ruochen has escaped and has probably left the Tomb of the God of Death. And..."
Wan Ji hesitated for a moment, but finally told Wan Qinglu the news that Zhang Ruochen had used a blue stone tablet to suppress the corpse river.
Wan Ji continued: "If this news spreads, Zhang Ruochen's contribution will be greater than that of our entire military department. When the time comes, if the court arrests him again, it will definitely attract a lot of criticism. If the Queen knows this
I'm afraid it will be quite unpleasant."
Wan Qinglu looked quite calm and said: "You mean to block the news first?"
"That's right." Wanji said.
Wan Qinglu smiled and said: "At that time, there were dozens of Half-Saints present. None of these people were simple people. Even if I gave the order personally, I might not be able to silence them all. So instead of blocking the news,
, it is better to find a way to capture Zhang Ruochen first."
Wan Ji solemnly said: "Zhang Ruochen is a descendant of time and space, and he controls the power of space. With my cultivation, it is difficult to keep him. It is even more difficult for others to capture him. Now, he
After escaping back to the Eastern Region, and even going out to sea as a hidden dragon, it is not easy to find him, let alone capture him?"
Wan Qinglu's eyes were cold and sharp, and he said: "Zhang Ruochen's existence is related to the life and death of the Wan family. If other forces in the court find him first, they will definitely use him to deal with us. He is just a deceiver.
If you commit a crime, the entire family will be doomed."
"In the past five hundred years, the Wan family has been favored by the Queen and has been able to dominate the Kunlun world. I don't know how many people are jealous of the Wan family's current power and want to suppress us. We must not let the entire family fall because of Zhang Ruochen."
Wan Ji also realized the seriousness of the situation and said: "I will go all out to find Zhang Ruochen."
Wan Qingtuo added: "I have already seen Zhang Ruochen's information, and it is actually not too difficult to find him. Zhang Ruochen has a fiancée named Huang Yanchen, who is one of the Nine Realms. At the same time,
He is also a disciple of the Queen."
"In addition, Zhang Ruochen also has a mother."
"Huang Yanchen is very affectionate and kind to Zhang Ruochen. She has always taken Zhang Ruochen's mother by her side to serve her. After she became the world's son, she also took Zhang Ruochen's mother to Zhongyu."
Wan Ji immediately understood and said, "What does the Seventh Grand Duke mean by asking me to control Zhang Ruochen's fiancée and mother first, and then let the news out, so that Zhang Ruochen can be tempted to take the bait?"
Wan Qinglu shook his head and said: "It's best not to touch Huang Yanchen until the last moment. After all, she is a member of the world and her identity is very sensitive."
"However, since Zhang Ruochen's fiancée and mother are both in the Central Territory, he will definitely go to the Central Territory. Therefore, if you want to capture Zhang Ruochen, you can first block the three wormholes leading to the Central Territory."
"In addition, this saint has already sent the news back to the Central Territory. Wan Zhiyi should have also laid out a dragnet. When Zhang Ruochen steps into the Central Territory, he can be captured in one fell swoop.
"This time, the two of you, one behind the other, must capture Zhang Ruochen no matter what. You must not let him escape again."
"Understood, I will go after Zhang Ruochen now and I will capture him as quickly as possible."
Wan Ji immediately retreated, leading an elite army, leaving the Tomb of the God of Death and rushing towards the direction of the Liang Yi Sect.
There is a wormhole in Liangyi Sect that leads to the Central Realm, and Zhang Ruochen probably went there.
…
Zhang Ruochen used the Thirty-six Formless Transformations to transform into an ordinary soldier and left the Tomb of the God of Death very easily.
After entering the vast mountains and ridges, he changed to his original appearance, standing on the top of a mountain with cliffs on all sides, looking in the direction of the Tomb of the Dead God.
"The reaction speed of the Ministry of War is really fast. In a short period of time, three layers of defenses were established outside the Tomb of the God of Death. As long as they are not at the level of the Ghost King Shenchu, other undead want to enter the Eastern Territory.
It’s really as difficult as climbing to the sky.” Zhang Ruochen sighed.
He had to admit that today's First Central Empire was at least ten times more powerful than the original Shengming Central Empire, and was a truly behemoth.
Eight hundred years ago, there were nine states in the Central Region, and the Shengming Central Empire only temporarily settled in three of them.
Today's First Central Empire rules the entire Kunlun Realm, which is naturally quite different.
Mu Lingxi's fingers gently held her chin, and she said with a rather displeased look: "Why did we go through nine deaths before going to the underworld to retrieve the stone talisman left by the Empress of Thousand Bones to calm the Corpse River? The Ministry of War
Those people, not only did not appreciate you, but they also wanted to capture you. It really makes me angry to death." Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "We did this not to ask for credit from anyone. As long as we can save the death of some innocent people.
, it’s just something worth being happy about.”
Next, Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi went to Liangyi Sect. Along the way, the villages, small towns, and cities they passed were all lifeless and very quiet. It was difficult to see a living person.
Some corpses were found in some of the cities.
However, all of those corpses had turned into mummies, and their blood had obviously been sucked away. You didn’t need to guess to know that it was definitely the work of the undead vampires.
This disaster affected the sects in Falling God Mountain the most seriously, and almost all of them were wiped out.
It wasn't until he arrived at the mountain gate of the Liang Yi Sect that Zhang Ruochen finally saw some outer disciples. They were transporting the corpses, dumping the corpses one by one into the pit, and simply burying them with soil.
The outskirts of the Liang Yi Sect have become completely deserted. The mountains have collapsed, the rivers have been cut off, and the former medicinal fields have turned into scorched earth. Even though several months have passed, there are still ghost fires burning on the ground.
Fortunately, Liangyi Sect withstood the attacks of the ghost kings in the underworld. Although it suffered heavy losses, its foundation was not damaged.
Zhang Ruochen did not appear as Lin Yue. After all, the news that Zhang Ruochen was not dead has spread. It is estimated that many people are now doubting Lin Yue's true identity.
From now on, Lin Yue's identity will definitely no longer be usable.
??At this moment, Zhang Ruochen saw an extremely beautiful figure among the Liangyi Sect disciples.
In the distance, Han Qiu, wearing a clean Taoist robe, was directing the outer disciples to purify the will-o'-the-wisps and repair the damaged medicinal fields.
Her cultivation has made great progress, and she has reached the sixth transformation of fish and dragon, becoming a leader among the disciples of the Holy Tradition.
Han Qiu's spiritual sense was very keen, and she soon noticed a pair of eyes looking at her from behind. Of course she was very curious, who dared to attract her attention?
When she turned around and saw Zhang Ruochen in the distance, she was slightly startled.
Afterwards, Han Qiu looked around and found that the disciples outside did not recognize Zhang Ruochen at all, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, there are not many people who have seen Zhang Ruochen's true face.
Zhang Ruochen smiled slightly at Han Qiu and said in the tone of an outer disciple: "Senior Sister Han Qiu, there are some things I want to talk to you about." After all, he has been away from the Eastern Region for several months.
With such a huge change happening again, of course I still want to find someone to get all the news and make next plans.
Han Qiu's lips curled up into a smile, and he and Zhang Ruochen left the mountain gate of Liangyi Sect and came to Shentai City.
Shentai City has been turned into ruins. There are corpses scattered all over the streets, and not a single living person can be seen.
When he came here, Han Qiu naturally stopped shying away and smiled, saying: "Just now, I thought it was some blind outer disciple who wanted to eat swan meat and was staring at me from behind. But he didn't.
I thought it was Senior Brother Lin Yue who has been missing for several months."
Obviously, Han Qiu was testing Zhang Ruochen and wanted to know if he was Lin Yue?
Zhang Ruochen didn't hide it from her, and smiled slightly: "Are you not surprised at all to see that I am still alive?"
