Chapter 599: Overbearing

Translator: Transn  Editor: Transn

Serene Blue Emissary stared contemptuously at Red Wish Emissary as if she was a little girl. He said, “From now on, I will take over all matters concerning God Failing Mansion. You may return to Evil Emperor City!”

“Why?” Red Wish Emissary asked coldly.

Serene Blue Emissary took two steps forward and a powerful wave of Martial Arts exploded from his body and pressed ahead, pushing back all the Evil Warriors who were present.

He kept walking until he reached Red Wish Emissary. Only then did he stop and say, “This is the order of the young master. Perhaps, you no longer obey the young master’s orders?”

It was Di Yi’s order.

An inauspicious feeling grew in Red Wish Emissary’s heart. Could Di Yi have sensed her ambition and was preparing to deal with her?

The battle in the East Region Saint City had caused a series of massive events.

The most direct impact was that the branch of the Black Market that was once hidden in the Eastern Holy Land had become targeted by both the imperial court and the Martial Market Bank. This caused it to retreat to the Eastern Evil Land immediately.

The upper echelons of the Black Market had decided that the warriors from the Black Market in the Eastern Evil Land would all be settled in the 18 counties of the God Failing Mansion.

Cyan Cloud County, which was closest to the Fallen-gods Mountain Range by the edge of the God Failing Mansion, was the most important of them all.

This meant that whoever controlled Cyan Cloud County also controlled the warriors of the Black Market who had returned to the Eastern Evil Land.

Red Wish Emissary had jostled for this opportunity with difficulty. She had been the first to reach Cyan Cloud County to handle the planning and organization, how could she offer up such a succulent piece of meat to Serene Blue Emissary just because of one word from Di Yi?

However, her wings were not yet fully grown, and she could not afford to clash head-on with Di Yi.

If she did not respect Di Yi’s order and continued to stay in Cyan Cloud County, Di Yi would certainly deal with her swiftly to prevent problems in the future.

What could she do?

Red Wish Emissary had to appease Serene Blue Emissary and then do her best to stall for time. Only then could she start thinking about her next move.

When night fell, Red Wish Emissary gathered her most powerful confidants to come up with a solution.

However, how could these Evil Warriors dare to offend Di Yi?

All of them suggested that Red Wish Emissary not clash with Di Yi so as not to anger him. In the end, it boiled down to the advice that she should act cautiously. First she had to endure, then endure, and in the end, still endure.

When the Evil Warriors left, Red Wish Emissary angrily threw a wine jug. Her eyes glittered with a cold light and she said, “Usually, each of them is more unreasonable than the last, and each one more arrogant than the other, but once they hear Di Yi’s name, they all turn into cowards. Not one of them is useful.”

Yaoyao was apprehensive as she hesitantly said, “Everyone knows Di Yi’s methods. Furthermore, Di Yi has a multitude of masters and talented people by his side. Even though he has lost Green-robed Emissary, Yellow God Emissary, and Orange Star Emissary, he still has three Emissaries. Any of the Emissaries could kill us all. Who would not be afraid?”

Red Wish Emissary glared at Yaoyao and an icy light shone in her eyes. “Even you think that I should go back to the Evil Emperor City with my tail between my legs? Obey all of Di Yi’s orders in the future without resistance?”

“Bang!”

Yaoyao’s heart jumped and her face became deathly white. She immediately fell to her knees.

She dared not say a single word.

It was obvious that she felt that Red Wish Emissary’s wisest course of action would be to return to Evil Emperor City. If she fought Di Yi right now, it would be like trying to crack a stone with an egg.

Red Wish Emissary looked at Yaoyao’s expression and was even more disappointed.

Her heart was very dissatisfied.

Coming to God Failing Mansion, planning and moving the Black Market’s power from the Eastern Holy Land—this was a chance for Red Wish Emissary to make allies and increase her influence.

If she lost this opportunity, how could she stand against Di Yi in the future?

Red Wish Emissary walked out of the main hall. Her emotions were very complicated. As she walked forward, she thought of ways to deal with this. Subconsciously, she walked toward Zhang Ruochen’s courtyard.

She stopped, glanced inside, and saw that the candle in the room was still lit.

Thus, she pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.

“Your Excellency, is there a reason for this late night visit?”

Zhang Ruochen’s voice rang out from inside the room.

Walking under the moonlight, Red Light Emissary was like a nighttime spirit. She walked until she reached the maple tree before stopping. Her voice carried a hint of tiredness. “There are matters that I wish to speak with you about.”

“Swoosh!”

The door of the guest room opened and Zhang Ruochen walked out in a long white robe, holding a pot of tea. He gently closed the door and walked toward Red Wish Emissary. “Your Excellency, please feel free to talk.”

The two of them sat across each other at a stone table in the courtyard. Their moods were very calm and they appeared particularly quiet. Around them, only the rustling of the wind could be heard.

A moment later, the Red Wish Emissary sat up straight. There was no fawning manner on her face and she appeared very classy, like a beauty that had walked out of a scroll. Her two crystal-like red lips opened slightly and she slowly said, “The young master has sent someone with an order for me to return to Evil Emperor City. We might need to leave Cyan Cloud County tomorrow.”

Zhang Ruochen observed Red Wish Emissary’s eyes closely and noticed something. “I seem to see some dissatisfaction in Her Excellency’s eyes. Does she not wish to return to Evil Emperor City?”

The Red Wish Emissary looked at Zhang Ruochen strangely and said, “Indeed, those who can become Masters of Spiritual Power are clever people.

“To be frank, I came to Cyan Cloud County to take over some warriors of the Black Market who have moved from the Eastern Holy Land to the Eastern Evil Land. Right now, I indeed do not wish to go back but the young master’s orders cannot be disobeyed. Do you have any idea that can help me stay in Cyan Cloud County?”

Red Wish Emissary was just saying things. She did not really think that Zhang Ruochen would be able to come up with a solution for her. After all, even she, with her intelligence, could not think of anything. Could he be any cleverer than her?

Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment and then picked up the teapot to refill Red Wish Emissary’s cup. “It’s actually not a difficult matter.”

Red Wish Emissary’s heart jumped. Her beautiful eyes immediately stared at Zhang Ruochen and she quickly asked, “You have a solution?”

He lightly said, “The most decisive method would be to kill the person who brought the order, then you can pretend to know nothing. This way, you will not have disobeyed the young master’s order and you can continue staying in Cyan Cloud County. Is that not so?”

Red Wish Emissary smiled and her eyes dimmed. She couldn’t help but shake her head.

Originally, she had hoped that Zhang Ruochen actually had some clever trick. She had not expected it to be such a bad idea.

However, Zhang Ruochen’s guts were something she greatly appreciated. At least he hadn’t been intimidated by Di Yi and Serene Blue Emissary’s names.

Red Wish Emissary elegantly lifted her teacup and gently took a sip. “Perhaps you did not know. The person who brought the order was one of the Seven Star Emissaries, Serene Blue Emissary. He is not someone who is easy to kill.”

It had to be said, no wonder Red Wish Emissary was a disciple of a Saint—when she was behaving enticingly she could knock someone head over heels; when she was being elegant, she was more noble, more refined, and more beautiful than a princess of an empire.

“I don’t think so.”

Zhang Ruochen’s finger knocked gently on the table. “If Her Excellency wants to fight for the young master’s position, now is the best time to kill Serene Blue Emissary. Killing him would be like chopping off one of Di Yi’s arms.”

Red Wish Emissary’s eyes turned cold. Raising a slender arm, she slapped her hand against the stone table and icily said, “You dare speak such treasonous words! Do you believe that I can kill you right now?”

However, Zhang Ruochen remained calm and said, “If Her Excellency does not wish to fight for the young master’s position, then why is she unwilling to return to Evil Emperor City?”

Red Wish Emissary stared into Zhang Ruochen’s eyes and saw his calm expression. Afterward, she drew back her murderous feeling and smiled. “You are indeed very clever. You’re right, I do want the young master’s position. However, your method will not work because I cannot kill Serene Blue Emissary at my current level.”

Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “I can give Your Excellency a hand.”

“You?”

Red Wish Emissary shook her head and said, “You are indeed quite powerful, but Serene Blue Emissary’s cultivation has already reached the peak of the Sixth Change of the Fish-dragon Realm. Furthermore, he holds a Holy Weapon and several trump cards—enough to challenge a Monk in the Ninth Change of the Fish-dragon Realm.

“Although he is not a Saintly Being, he is not much weaker than a Saintly Being. Even if all the Monks in Red Willow Heights attacked together, they may still not be able to kill him. On the other hand, when you fought against Ji Gui and Luo Shi, you were already straining your power. How could you be a match for him?”

Zhang Ruochen said, “Times change.”

Zhang Ruochen released his Spiritual Power. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around them began to tremble violently and then turned into purple lightning. It gathered behind him and formed a giant God’s Shadow of thunder.

“Crash! Crash!”

The God’s Shadow made of lightning was fierce and had glowering eyes. It held a thunderous hammer in its hand and was about 10 meters tall. Two horns grew out of its head and a horrifyingly powerful aura emanated from it.

Red Wish Emissary abruptly stood up and exclaimed with disbelief. “The Wrath of the Thunder God. You have already succeeded in practicing one of the second-level magic arts?”

The Wrath of the Thunder God was one of the two second-level magic arts that she had given him just today.

Red Wish Emissary’s expression changed slightly and she took a step back. She immediately summoned her Spiritual Power and adopted a defensive posture. She warily asked, “Who exactly are you?”

Red Wish Emissary was a Master of Spiritual Power. Naturally, she knew how difficult it was to practice a second-level magic art, so she did not believe that Zhang Ruochen would be able to successfully learn the Wrath of the Thunder God in half a day.

Even with her current forty-third level of Spiritual Power, it would still take at least half a month to successfully learn a second-level magic art.

“Your Excellency, why are you so nervous? Do you suspect that I have practiced second-level magic arts in the past?”

Zhang Ruochen won Red Wish Emissary’s trust and slowly abated his Spiritual Power. The God’s Shadow formed by lightning behind him also gradually dissipated until it completely disappeared.

The powerful aura also disappeared with it.
