Chapter 1980: Showing Him Who’s Boss

“Master has sent 10,100 cultivators from the Guanghan Realm to the Kunlun Realm. Among them are 10,000 Saints and 100 Saint Kings, all of whom are elites of the Guanghan Realm,” said Mu Lingxi.

There were a couple of cultivators from different realms entering the Kunlun Realm, but all of them were elites.

Only the elites could survive better and gain opportunities in the Kunlun Realm.

The Kunlun Realm was now fully revived as an immortal world. There were too many opportunities available, which tempted any big macroworld. Cultivators from these worlds went to the Kunlun Realm on the pretense of fighting the Infernal Court’s invasion, but their true intention was to plunder the Kunlun Realm’s resources.

The Guanghan Realm had close relations with the Kunlun Realm. Naturally, it wanted to take this opportunity to strengthen itself so that it could help the Kunlun Realm to survive the calamity.

In the past, Yueshen had borrowed a million Saint Sources from Zhang Ruochen, allowing the Guanghan Realm to produce hundreds of thousands of Saints in a very short time. The number of Saints there had surpassed those of the Greater Demonic Realm, which was the strongest among the Shatuo Domain’s seven realms.

Despite that, only having Saints was not enough. The key was to train more Saint Kings and Supreme Saints, who were the backbone of a macroworld.

“Are all the Saints of the Guanghan Realm here now?” asked Zhang Ruochen.

Mu Lingxi shook her head. “For the time being, only one-third of them stay at Lake Phoenix, and the other two-thirds are in another holy land of awakening.”

“Another holy land of awakening?” Zhang Ruochen looked surprised.

“That holy land of awakening was accidentally discovered recently. The place does not only produce many sacred herbs, but it is also adjacent to an ancient vein. So two-thirds of the forces have been transferred over there,” said Mu Lingxi.

Zhang Ruochen could not help nodding. There were many advantages to being able to control one more holy land of awakening.

Besides, the Kunlun Realm’s holy land of awakening was in the hands of the Guanghan Realm cultivators. That was better than it falling into the hands of the Heavenly Realm cultivators.

“Who is guarding the other holy land of awakening?” asked Zhang Ruochen again.

At this time, Drunkard came forward with a smile. “Don’t worry, Ji Kongyuan is there guarding the place. There won’t be any problem.”

“Then who is guarding Lake Phoenix?” Zhang Ruochen was slightly surprised.

At first, he thought Ji Kongyuan was guarding Lake Phoenix, and the safety of Lake Phoenix was assured. He believed many people would covet Lake Phoenix.

“It seems you know little about the Guanghan Realm cultivators. Ji Kongyuan is the only person in the Guanghan Realm who’s made it onto the Celestial Court’s Saint King Merit List, but that does not mean there are no other powerful cultivators. In fact, there are two more persons who are just as good as Ji Kongyuan in the Guanghan Realm,” said Gu Songzi.

“Who are the two?” It aroused Zhang Ruochen’s interest.

In fact, he had thought of these things long ago, but he paid little attention to them.

As for why Ji Kongyuan was listed on the Celestial Court’s Saint King Merit List, the reason was actually simple: it was because of Emperor Ji Mie’s influence in the Guanghan Realm. Many of his descendants had attained the Saint rank, and they were unmatched by others.

“Here they come. As the Divine Envoy of the Guanghan Realm, you really have a lot of attention,” Gu Songzi joked.

Zhang Ruochen immediately turned his head to look. Up ahead, a team of dozens of people came into view.

There were just as many familiar faces as unfamiliar faces. Among them were Buji, Su Qingling, and Wen Shusheng, all of whom were powerful figures of Guanghan Realm in their own rights.

The leading figure was a woman with a graceful figure, exquisite appearance, soft skin, incredibly beautiful. Just that she had a cold aura in her eyes like a chilling iceberg. It was prohibitively cold.

She exuded a powerful personal aura, as vast and unpredictable as the sea.

“My pleasure to meet you, Mr. Divine Envoy.”

When the group approached, they all cupped their hands to greet Zhang Ruochen.

“Please be at ease.” Zhang Ruochen had a smile on his face.

“We apologize. We should have come to meet you earlier,” said the woman.

“This is Saint King Tianyue, the daughter of Supreme Saint Jiu Ling. As early as hundreds of years ago, she had already attained Path’s Anterior. If it hadn’t been for the Guanghan Realm, she would have attained Supreme Sainthood. She is the idol of many women in the Guanghan Realm,” Mu Lingxi quickly introduced her with a smile.

“Thanks for your compliment, Your Highness,” said Saint King Tianyue with a straight face.

After listening to Mu Lingxi’s introduction, Zhang Ruochen’s heart skipped a beat. This woman was Supreme Saint Jiu Ling’s daughter, which meant she was also from the Jiu Ling Divine Birds Clan. Her position and seniority were the same as, if not above, that of Ji Kongyuan.

Although the descendants of Supreme Saint Jiu Ling were no way near those of Emperor Ji Mie, their attainments were still extremely high. Zhang Ruochen had met two of them; both were Saint Kings.

Judging by Saint King Tianyue’s personal aura, Zhang Ruochen could roughly make out that she had about 50 million precepts, which were right about the middle- to higher-level of Path’s Anterior.

As for her specific strength, it depended on how large a radius within which she could summon the Precepts of Heaven and Earth and what kind of powerful Saint techniques and divine artifacts she possessed.

With the current situation in the Guanghan Realm, it was an achievement to have trained such a level of Saint King cultivator.

“Nice to meet you, Saint King Tianyue.” Zhang Ruochen cupped his hand.

Saint King Tianyue was also a figure of leadership in the Guanghan Realm, so it was only proper not to upstage her.

“This way, please, Mr. Divine Envoy.” Saint King Tianyue stepped aside and held out her hand.

Zhang Ruochen nodded and walked ahead.

As the Divine Envoy of Yueshen, he of course needed to maintain his dignity. Otherwise, he would embarrass not only himself but also Yueshen.

Not long after, they arrived before an atrium with magnificent grandeur.

Normally, only Saint King cultivators were eligible to enter this atrium.

“Huh?” As soon as they stepped into the atrium, Mu Lingxi’s eyes skipped a beat.

On the host seat inside the atrium sat a person who did not even bother to stand up as they came in.

Zhang Ruochen also shifted his eyes on the host’s seat and quietly studied the man.

The man was of medium build, and he was draped in red armor. He was also good-looking with a faint flame flickering in his eyes. The man possessed an intimidating personal aura.

The scorching energy that radiated from the man was turning the atrium into a furnace.

Right then, many of the Guanghan Realm’s Saint Kings were looking at the man in the host’s seat warily before looking at Zhang Ruochen. They all had a bad feeling about this.

Even Saint King Tianyue could not help frowning slightly, apparently not expecting this before she came.

“He is Saint King Xing Yun, Wu Zu’s eldest son. He’s moody, and he has a fiery temper,” said Mu Lingxi to Zhang Ruochen via telepathy.

Now Zhang Ruochen realized that this man was from the Wu Clan. By behaving in such a haughty manner, the man obviously wanted to show him who the boss was.

The reason was nothing more than because of Wu Hao’s death in his hands, which was a humiliation to the Wu Clan.

Besides, Wu Hao was a talented genius whom the Wu Clan had poured all their resources into to train. They had high hopes for him. Wu Zu loved Wu Hao very much too. Wu Hao’s death had caused resentment and even hatred in the Wu Clan toward Zhang Ruochen.

However, Wu Hao had indeed been at fault, and Zhang Ruochen was also a Divine Envoy. The Wu Clan could not anything about him.

Saint King Xing Yun was sitting in the host’s seat like an emperor looking down at everything.

At that moment, Zhang Ruochen and Saint King Xing Yun locked eyes. Zhang Ruochen was calm with no fear.

Saint King Xing Yun might look intimidating, but as far as Zhang Ruochen was concerned, he should be below Saint King Tianyue in terms of strength. His precepts were definitely below 50 million.

Saint King Xing Yun should be ranked last among the three great Saint Kings of the Guanghan Realm.

“Mr. Divine Envoy, Saint King Xing Yun had yet to come out of isolation earlier, so he did not come with us to receive you. We have no idea how things have turned out this way.” Wen Shusheng spoke to Zhang Ruochen using telepathy.

He felt that it was necessary to tell Zhang Ruochen about it, lest Zhang Ruochen misunderstood.

“I know,” said Zhang Ruochen in return.

How could he not understand such a situation? It was apparent that Saint King Xing Yun was deliberately singling him out. He wanted to humiliate him, and it had nothing to do with the others.

Besides, he had a good relationship with Supreme Saint Jiu Ling’s men, Buji, Wen Shusheng, and the rest. They would not be so disrespectful to him.

“What took you so long, Zhang Ruochen? We have been expecting you for a long time. Maybe you have forgotten that you are the Divine Envoy of the Guanghan Realm, haven’t you?”

Saint King Xing Yun was anything but friendly.

Zhang Ruochen still maintained a calm expression. “No one may interfere with the affairs of a Divine Envoy. Besides, everything that I did was to raise the profile of the Guanghan Realm.”

“Raise the Guanghan Realm’s profile? I think you are making enemies for the Guanghan Realm. You provoked the Fane of Youshen, the Fane of Bloody War, and the Soul Realm. Plus, you made Mr. Godcliff your enemy in the Eastern Region. In the Northern Region, you had a conflict with Xuanyuan Liekong, Lei Juexing, and others. You are definitely linked to Bi Yunhai’s death. By making so many enemies, are you trying to make the situation more difficult for the Guanghan Realm?” asked Saint King Xing Yun loudly.

When Mr. Godcliff was killed in Luoshui, few people knew about it, and no one had spread the news. So many outsiders still thought that Mr. Godcliff was still alive and lying low while recuperating.

Zhang Ruochen was not upset, and his tone of voice calm. “No matter how many enemies I have made, it is just my personal business. It has nothing to do with the Guanghan Realm. I’ve never thought of asking the Guanghan Realm to help me.”

After a short pause, Zhang Ruochen continued, “It’s you, Saint King Xing Yun, who has disrespected Yueshen’s appointed Divine Envoy such as myself. You knew I was coming, but you didn’t come out to meet me. Yet you still have the nerve to question me. Who gave you the courage?”

“Who are you to ask me to come out to meet you? What can you do about me even if I subdue you myself, let alone question you?” Saint King Xing Yun sneered.

Others were wary of Zhang Ruochen because of his Divine Envoy identity, but not him.

Had Yueshen conducted an open Divine Envoy selection process before the Supreme Saints of the Guanghan Realm, Zhang Ruochen would have not stood a chance.

From the very beginning, Saint King Xing Yun had been unhappy with the selection of Zhang Ruochen as Guanghan Realm’s Divine Envoy. He could not accept the fact that a junior was challenging him.
