Chapter 1962 - Discordant Parting



Chapter 1962: Discordant Parting

All of the people present turned their eyes toward Zhang Ruochen, wanting to see how Zhang Ruochen would react.

Many had cold gazes, and for the Divine Sky-connecting Tree, they did not care about offending Zhang Ruochen.

Feng Wuxing shook his head silently. He wanted to speak for Zhang Ruochen, but when Xuanyuan Liekong spoke, it would be meaningless even if he spoke.

Fairy Yuan too frowned slightly as she did not expect things to develop to this juncture.

After some thought, Feng Wuxing still opened his mouth and said. “Collecting treasures had always been based on one’s own ability since time memorial, and since the Divine Sky-connecting Tree is collected by Brother Zhang, it should belong to him by right, and there is no reason for him to share with everyone.”

Hearing this, Bi Yunhai gave Feng Wuxing an immediate glare, saying. “Based on one’s ability? Without everyone’s help, does Zhang Ruochen have the ability to take the Divine Sky-connecting Tree? If you don’t want it, no one will force you, but don’t hinder us either.”

Feng Wuxing did not say anything else, and just stood aside silently, making his stand clear.

Immediately afterwards, Fairy Yuan, Ling Kongzi and several others also walked to the side, and did not want anything to do with this matter.

At this very moment, Zhang Ruochen opened his mouth. “The Divine Sky-connecting Tree is here, why are you asking me?”

In everyone’s ears, Zhang Ruochen sounded very helpless at this moment, he could not defy the will of the people, and could only hand over the Divine Sky-connecting Tree as a compromise.

“At least you know your place. Don’t worry, you’ll have your share.” A gleeful look appeared on Bi Yunhai’s face.

Xuanyuan Liekong also smiled, clearly satisfied with Zhang Ruochen’s attitude. He liked people who knew one’s place like him.

In fact, he had wanted to woo Zhang Ruochen, if it weren’t for the fact that the Divine Sky-connecting Tree was just too precious, he would have chose to help Zhang Ruochen at this very moment.

“Big Brother, are you really going to hand over the Divine Sky-connecting Tree to them?” Xiang Chunan’s eyes were opened wide, filled with anger and bitterness.

Zhang Ruochen did not say anything and only stretched his hand out to gently pat Xiang Chunan on the shoulder, while casting a ‘relax’ glance at the latter.

A confused look appeared in Xiang Chunan’s eyes, he could not understand why Zhang Ruochen could still be so calm at this moment.

However, he still kept his temper in check, and did not make any rash movements.

Bi Yunhai walked up next to the Divine Sky-connecting Tree and clearly felt a terrifying aura as his soul felt like it was being crushed.

He could feel that the Divine Sky-connecting Tree was repulsed by him, and did not allow him to approach.

“You’re already cut off dead wood, and you still dare to defy me, wanting to scare me away with your aura. Naive, too naive, just see how I crush you.” Bi Yunhai’s eyes were full of greed.

As he spoke, Bi Yunhai took out his King’s Weapon-level Bluesky Gourd out, and roused it with all of his might.

Bi Yunhai was extremely confident with his own strength, especially with the King’s Weapon-level weapon in hand. Cutting off the Divine Sky-connecting Tree that had withered for a hundred thousand years should be a breeze.

200 thousand King-grade inscriptions appeared on the surface of the Skyblue Gourd, unleashing a brilliant light as it blasted at the Divine Sky-connecting Tree trunk.

The saint light had a brutal offensive power, enough to destroy an extraterrestrial star. It easily punctured through the blue mist formed by the Divine Tree Qi, and slammed against the Divine Sky-connecting Tree.

BOOM!!

The Divine Tree Qi surrounding the Divine Sky-connecting Tree shuddered violently as they gradually dissipated, causing the Divine Sky-connecting Tree trunk’s form to be further exposed.

However, the saint light did not manage to damage the Divine Sky-connecting Tree at all, with nary a trace. Even the dead, withered leaves on the tree were not knocked down.

Seeing this, Bi Yunhai frowned deeply. This was something totally unexpected.

He had used the full might of the King’s Weapon artifact to attack, and yet the Divine Sky-connecting Tree was totally undamaged, and this undoubtedly cause him to lose face.

“I don’t buy it.”

Bi Yunhai got even more menacing as he once again roused the Skyblue Gourd.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Liekong’s expression changed drastically, and shouted loudly. “Watch out! Fall back!”

In a flash, Bi Yunhai felt a sense of terror as he turned to flee.

It was too late. A massive surge of divine power rushed out from the Divine Sky-connecting Tree, and hit Bi Yunhai square on his body.

DUSSHH!

Bi Yunhai was simply unable to resist the divine might, and his body immediately burst into pieces.

“NOO!!!”

Bi Yunhai’s saint soul still struggled desperately as he tried to escape, but in the end, he could not escape the fate of being crushed.

Even the Skyblue Gourd shattered in an instant, turning into pieces of scrap metal as all of the King-level inscriptions were obliterated.

Seeing this, everyone present showed a horrified look as they backed away one after another, seeing the Divine Sky-connecting Tree was a scourge of the gods.

Bi Yunhai was a top elite of the Path’s Anterior-realm, and he could defeat a Neverwither Supreme Saint. His strength was unrivalled and yet he was obliterated in just an instant, it was just too terrifying.

Forget anyone else, even Xuanyuan Liekong was equally terrified, and was now extremely wary of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree.

Fortunately, the divine power that destroyed Bi Yunhai quickly retracted away after wiping the latter out, and did not spread further. Otherwise, none present would have survived.

“What’s going on? ” Lei Juexing turned his eyes to Zhang Ruochen as he questioned the latter in a chilly tone.

In his view, this had everything to do with Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen glanced indifferently at Lei Juexing, saying. “The Divine Sky-connecting Tree is the spiritual root of Kunlun Realm back in the day, all of the beings in Kunlun Realm, including the gods, are birthed from the Divine Sky-connecting Tree. Even when it had been cut down, and had withered for over a hundred thousand years, it is still not something you can violate at will. Especially if a non-Kunlun Realm denizen dares to violate the Divine Sky-connecting Tree, it is as good as signing his own death warrant.”

“Since you knew about it, why didn’t you tell us in advance?” Lei Juexing’s eyes became chillier.”

Zhang Ruochen smiled coldly and said. “I’ve only followed what you asked since the beginning. Now that something had gone wrong, what does that have to do with me? Do you think I should help you cut up the Divine Sky-connecting Tree, and then hand it over to you lot one by one?”

“Hmph, what does my brother has to do with you lot being a bunch of brainless fools? Only an idiot would attack a divine body. Bi Yunhai was too full of himself, and his death was all the more warranted.” Feng Yan sneered, and did not have the slightest sympathy for Bi Yunhai.

He had long been pissed off at Bi Yunhai, and now that the latter courted his own death, and was obliterated by the Divine Sky-connecting Tree’s divine power, it felt really nice.

Hearing this, Lei Juexing’s expression became extremely uncomfortable, yet he did not know how to refute what was said.

After seeing the Divine Sky-connecting Tree, they were indeed overwhelmed by their greed, and had forgotten many important things, even attacking the Divine Sky-connecting Tree without compunction.

At this moment, Lei Juexing actually felt lucky, he was glad that he did not acted earlier, or else the one killed would have been him instead.

On other hand, Xuanyuan Liekong’s expression also became much more grim. Even he was careless just now, and had the same thought as Bi Yunhai, thinking that the Divine Sky-connecting Tree would not be that dangerous.

Now it seemed like the Divine Sky-connecting Tree was still extremely dangerous, and its divine power had not faded just because of the passing of aeons.

Zhang Ruochen walked slowly towards the Divine Sky-connecting Tree as he looked at everyone present, saying. “Is there anyone else who wants to take the Divine Sky-connecting Tree?”

Those who were originally eager were now all silent at this very moment. It was not that they did not want to take it, they dared not even want it now.

With a precedent in Bi Yunhai, who would dare to have any funny ideas about the Divine Sky-connecting Tree?

Even Xuanyuan Liekong was silent at this moment. While he was much more powerful than Bi Yunhai, but if he were to act against the Divine Sky-connecting Tree, his end will probably be no better than Bi Yunhai’s.

It was a complete miscalculation this time around, not only did he not get his hands on the Divine Sky-connecting Tree, he had also fell foul of Zhang Ruochen.

“Since no one wants to take the Divine Sky-connecting Tree, I’ll be keeping it then.” Zhang Ruochen said.

He opened the Qiankun Realm, and a powerful suction force appeared as it instantly sucked the Divine Sky-connecting Tree into it.

Even if it was him, without the Divine Sky-connecting Tree seedling, he would not have any chance of keeping the Divine Sky-connecting Tree.

The next moment, Zhang Ruochen turned around and said, “Senior Brother Zhen Yuan, Senior Brother Lu, Brother Feng, Fairy Yuan, Fellow Ling, I still have some matters to deal with, so I need to take my leave first. We shall meet again.”

“Brother Zhang, take care.” Feng Wuxing said with a salute.

Fairy Yuan too saluted. “Master Ruochen, we shall meet again.”

“Fellow Zhang, please take care. I look forward to a good exchange of our path of swords when we have the time.” Ling Kongzi saluted and smiled.

Zhen Yuan sighed slightly, saying. “Junior Brother Zhang, you can contact me at any time if there’s anything.”

For such an unpleasant thing to have happened, it was obviously impossible for him to get Zhang Ruochen to stay in the Northern Region. He felt a little guilty that things had turned out like this.

Lu Baiming came over and patted Zhang Ruochen on the shoulder with a smile. “Now that the matter in the Northern Region is settled, I have no reason to stay here. I’ll go with you, Junior Brother Zhang.”

Nodding at Zhen Yuan and the others, Zhang Ruochen said. “Let’s go.”

Immediately, Zhang Ruochen, Ji Fanxin, Feng Yan, Xiang Chunan, Pei Yutian and Lu Baiming all flew into the sky, using their skills as they transformed into six streams of light and flew out of the Northern Region Basecamp in a blink of an eye.

Although some were still bitter, they dared not stop them at this moment as everyone was particulary wary. Especially when Lu Baiming was going along with Zhang Ruochen, no one even dared to make any rash actions.

“This will be the end of the celebration banquet. I’m a little tired, please leave.” Zhen Yuan opened his mouth and gave out an eviction order.

With this getting to this point, no one was in the mood to continue staying here, and so they left one after another.

When the news of what happened here spread, Zhang Ruochen’s star will shine even brighter while many Celestial Court elites will end up as a laughing stock.

In addition, Bi Yunhai’s death may also cause plenty of shocks, especially in the Skysea Realm, and some sort of action may be taken there.

After leaving the Northern Region Basecamp, Zhang Ruochen and the rest headed to then nearest merit sub-terminal, and went straight to the Main Terminal of Merits at Sirius.

With him annihilating so many Deathkins at Xianji Mountain, it was natural for him to come and exchange merit points.

“Junior Brother Zhang, I’ll head back to the Five-Elements Temple first, if you have time, you can look for me there.” When they arrived at the Main Terminal of Merits, Lu Baiming bade farewells to Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen replied. “Senior Brother Lu, take care.”

Lu Baiming nodded, and rode on the Primordial Demonic Serpent as he flew towards the Teleportation Hall.

Through the teleportation arrays in the Main Terminal of Merits, going to the great celestial realms across the Celestial Court is very convenient indeed.

“Let’s go and redeem our merit points.”

Seeing Lu Baiming leaving into the distance, Zhang Ruochen turned around and said.

He was very much looking forward to exchanging his merit point this time around, wondering what sort of surprise that awaited him once he enters the top 10,000 of the Saint King Merit List.
