Chapter 1826: Tianjue Pavilion’s Master
“My Lord…”
The Tianjue Pavilion steward wanted to stop Zhang Ruochen but he was immediately halted by Murong Yue’s finger as he stood in place, unable to move.
Zhang Ruochen looked majestic as he strode toward the fifth floor.
The cultivators in the four private rooms on the fifth floor were clearly startled as the door of one of the private rooms opened and a Saint King walked out.
That Saint King’s gaze was locked onto Zhang Ruochen. “The fifth floor is not a place where you should come. There are some people whom you truly cannot afford to provoke.”
This Saint King turned out to be Xue Chou of the Shengze Realm.
Zhang Ruochen was slightly surprised, and stared at the private room behind Xue Chou, a calligraphy screen blocking his vision.
The words on the screen were in the hand of a cultivator with a very high cultivation base, and Zhang Ruochen’s eyes could not see through it.
He could only see several shadows behind the screen.
Since Xue Chou was here, it was very possible that Hua Cangying was in the room as well.
Sure enough, he was a very distinguished figure.
Zhang Ruochen deliberately showed contempt as he said, “Who are you? Having the guts to block this prince’s path. Get lost or I’ll break your leg.”
“My Lord, aren’t you being too arrogant? I am a Saint King of the Shengze Realm’s Hall of Deific Scions. You better make sure if you can afford to offend the Hall of Deific Scions,” Xue Chou said brusquely.
Xie Chengzi’s figure flickered, and like a ghost, reappeared before Xue Chou.
Xue Chou was shocked as he quickly mobilizing the Saint Qi in his body…
It was too late!
Xie Chengzi slashed his arm out like a sword of Saint Steel and slammed it against Xue Chou’s waist, sending him flying sideways.
A loud crash followed.
Xue Chou’s body slammed against the door of the private room on the southside, knocking open two top-grade Moon Oak doors as he rolled into the room.
Before coming to Tianjue Pavilion, Xie Chengzi had changed into a Saint Armor that wrapped around his body, covering his face and aura, so Xue Chou did not recognize him.
The blow by Xie Chengzi was so powerful that Xue Chou’s waist was reduced into a mush, and his spine was close to being broken.
“Insolence!”
Hua Cangying yelled as he appeared outside the private room.
Xie Chengzi let out a grinning laugh as he raised both of his hands and two blobs of dark evil powers appeared in his palms.
At the same time, a burly figure walked out of the southside private room, carrying the bloodied Xue Chou in his arm and tossed him down the Tianjue Pavilion, before turning back into the room without a word, and closed the wooden door.
Although the burly figure did not use any power, both Zhang Ruochen and Hua Cangying could feel the scorching energy fluctuations in his body.
He was a powerhouse of the Greater Precept-World realm.
This was the reason Hua Cangying restrained himself and did not provoke that person.
For a random person to walk out with the room being of a Greater Precept-World realm, who knows if there were any other even more terrifying powerhouses inside the room?
Bam!!!
Xue Chou fell all the way from the fifth floor to the first and crashed into a daze.
The cultivators on the first floor were dumbfounded as they looked up at the fifth floor.
“The cultivators on the fifth floor are all really distinguished persons.”
“For him to pick a fight with Hua Cangying of the Shengze Realm, that arrogant person must’ve slammed into a brick wall this time around.”
…
“What the hell are ye’ doing, fighting? Didn’t Tianjue Island prohibited cultivators from fighting?”
Xiang Chunan, who was drunk, raised his head and looked at the fifth floor. His gaze then landed on Zhang Ruochen.
“Eh?!”
Xiang Chunan’s drunkenness went down by a few notches as he rubbed his eyes and looked again. When he confirmed it was Zhang Ruochen, he was overjoyed and laughed. “Big Brother, I’ve finally found you!”
Xiang Chunan was a freak and had the Eyes of Clairvoyance. Even Zhang Ruochen’s transformation techniques could not fool his eyes.
The handsome man in red sitting across Xiang Chunan heard the latter yell out like that, and a strange look appeared in his eyes as he unexpectedly raised his eyes and looked at the private rooms on the fifth floor.
“Brother Luo, let’s go, let’s go. I’ll bring you to meet my big brother. My big brother is a really incredible person.” Xiang Chunan reached out to grab the man in red’s wrist.
However, the man in red deftly avoided his grasp and stood up as he laughed. “Since you, Brother Xiang have called that person Big Brother, I’m sure he must be a very impressive hero. It seems like I should get to know him.”
Xiang Chunan rushed to the fifth floor with gusto, and just as he was about to ascend to the fifth floor, two cultivators dressed in luxurious robes walked out and blocked his path.
“Sir, please do not rush randomly in the Tianjue Pavilion,” one of the noble cultivators said with a smile.
These two people were actually cultivators of the Tianjue Pavilion.
However, their cultivation base was extremely powerful, and they used their Saint Path Power to block Xiang Chunan who was about to forcefully break into the fifth floor.
With Xiang Chunan’s temper, and the copious amount of alcohol he drank earlier, was naturally irritable. He took out a demonic metal crown that was a Supreme Sacred Artifact and prepared to send the two Tianjue Cultivators flying.
A gentle voice rang out. “Jiang Feng, Jiang Cheng, let that guest in!”
The two cultivators in luxurious robes immediately retracted their Saint Aura and retreated to the side as they bowed in salute to a white-clothed young man.
The young man in white looked about seventeen or eighteen and was quite young. Yet, neither Zhang Ruochen nor Hua Cangying had noticed how he appeared on the fifth floor of the pavilion, which was extremely bizarre.
“Tianjue Pavilion sure has many crouching tigers within it, and I have no idea how many more powerhouses are gathered here.”
Zhang Ruochen dared not be careless and was even more cautious.
The young man in white clasped his fist around his hand and was very polite as he said with a smile, “I am the current Pavilion Master of the Tianjue Pavilion, Jiang Yunchong, can I get both of you to give me some face, and not fight in the Tianjue Pavilion?”
The other party could be said to have given Zhang Ruochen and Hua Zangying plenty of face.
Jiang Yunchong’s cultivation base could not be predicted. In the event of a fight, even if Zhang Ruochen and Hua Cangying were to join forces, they might not be his match.
This was truly a terrifying character!
Zhang Ruochen bowed and saluted in return as he asked, “My Lord, you are probably not a Kunlun Realm cultivator, how did you become the master of the Tianjue Pavilion?”
Jiang Yunchong did not directly answer Zhang Ruochen’s question but said with a smile, “Because the Tianjue Pavilion is a nice place!”
This Jiang Yunchong must be a top-tier powerhouse from a very powerful realm, and most likely had cultivated to the Precept Domain, or even stronger. For a figure like him to claim Tianjue Pavilion for his own, was not a particularly difficult thing to do.
Zhang Ruochen pondered as he said, “I would of course need to give face to the Pavilion Master. Let’s go. We’ll head to the private room on the fourth floor.”
With Murong Yue and Xie Chengzi in tow, Zhang Ruochen chose to step back.
Jiang Yunchong smiled. “It’s just a private room. Since you like it, I will let out my own private room for you.”
“That’s not really nice, right?” Zhang Ruochen was a little surprised.
“A visitor is a guest, and since you’re a guest, as long as you can afford the Saint Stones, we should be providing the best environment for our guest.”
As he said that, Jiang Yunchong made his way to the fourth floor with his hands behind his back.
“For him to be so powerful yet so humble, this person is not that simple,” Zhang Ruochen said to himself.
The man in red following behind Xiang Chunan, also looked at Jiang Yunchong curiously, as he showed a thoughtful look.
“Big Brother, I’ve finally found you. Hahaha, we’ll be drinking till we’re smashed today.”
Xiang Chunan rushed toward Zhang Ruochen like a black bear at full charge. It would have been strange if Zhang Ruochen did not fall down upon being pounced upon by the former.
Thankfully, Murong Yue stopped him.
“What are you stopping me for? He is my big brother,” Xiang Chunan said.
Zhang Ruochen motioned for Murong Yue to stand down, as he patted Xiang Chunan’s shoulder and said, “I never thought that you would be here in the Kunlun Realm. Let’s go into the private room and catch up on old times.”
Hua Cangying was obviously wary of Jiang Yunchong. He suppressed the anger in his heart while he stared viciously at Zhang Ruochen and the rest. “I will remember this grievance!”
Zhang Ruochen spat back, “If it weren’t for the Tianjue Pavilion, you’d be dead!”
“Hear that You better keep your heads down. Angering my big bro only means death.” Xiang Chunan was even bolder than Zhang Ruochen as he revealed his row of large teeth with a sneer at Hua Cangying.
Hua Cangying’s upbringing was good, but he was so pissed off by Zhang Ruochen and Xiang Chunan that his face turned pale.
Zhang Ruochen, Xiang Chunan, Murong Yue, and the rest did not say anything else as they went into one of the private rooms on the fifth floor, and closed the wooden door.
Whoosh!!
A series of white lines appeared on the floor and walls of the private room.
The wall facing the sacred jade auction table gradually became transparent, allowing them to see everything outside.
“Big bro, let me introduce you to a good friend I’ve just made. Luo Yi from… Uh Brother Luo Yi, where were you from again?” Xiang Chunan looked at the man in red.
The man in red smiled as he adjusted his long hair as he said, “I am the disciple of the Shangyuan Sect of Yuan Realm, Luo Yi.”
Zhang Ruochen was wary of the red-robed man named Luo Yi. “The Yuan Realm is one of the Celestial Court’s top ten powerful realms. The Shangyuan Sect is also an ancient sect. Brother Luo Yi, for you to be its disciple, your cultivation must be very strong, right?”
“It’s all right.”
Luo Yi smiled as he shook his head.
Xiang Chunan was the one who bellowed, “Brother Luo Yi is really powerful. When I saw him on the battlefield, there were many corpses of the Rakshasa around him, and the number of Infernal Court cultivators that died in his hands is innumerable.”
“Impressive.”
Soon after, Zhang Ruochen dragged Xiang Chunan to another room inside the private room, and released the Domain of Space, and covered the entire place, preventing Luo Yi from listening to their conversation.
Zhang Ruochen’s face appeared serious as he said, “Chunan, tell me the entire story of how to got to know Brother Luo Yi.”
Since Xiang Chunan had recognized Zhang Ruochen as his big brother, he would obey whatever he said, so he told the story, “After coming to Kunlun Realm, I went to the frontlines of the War of Merits and fought the cultivators from the Infernal Court until the skies turned upside down. Once, I ran into Brother Luo Yi who was heavily wounded on the battlefield and took him back to the camp. After that, we got to know each other!”
Zhang Ruochen then asked again, “Why did both of you come to the Eastern Region Holy City?”
“I heard that you returned to the Kunlun Realm, so I rushed over to look for you, heh.” Xiang Chunan guffawed.
“Then, why did Luo Yi come along?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“I have a deep bond with Brother Luo Yi. The reason I brought him to meet you is to take the vow of brotherhood with you. Brother Luo Yi, be it his strength or character, is impeccable, and he is totally worthy of being our brother.” Xiang Chunan patted his chest assuredly.
“Perhaps so!”
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze turned serious as he brought Xiang Chunan back and sat with Luo Yi, Murong Yue, and the rest.
As Zhang Ruochen asked Luo Yi about the matters of Yuan Realm, and Shangyuan Sect, his eyes were, however, fixated on Kong Hongbi and the rest, as he focused his spiritual powers to eavesdrop on their conversation.
A moment later, Zhang Ruochen pointed his finger at Kong Hongbi and said to Xie Chengzi, “Take him to me. If he doesn’t comply, use force.”
