Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

Zhao Qilin knew how powerful Zhang Ruochen’s mind power was, so he didn’t dare hide anything. He said, “One of the three subsidiaries of Thousand Buddha Way, Life-death Temple and Black Market, both instigated it.

“But the ones you should blame the most are the Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race and Ancient Necromancer Race. They used the name of our sect to redirect the hate to Concubine Lin who’s living in Central Empire City.”

Zhang Ruochen released a trace of cold Qi and said, “Used the name of the demonic sect?”

Zhao Qilin was afraid that Zhang Ruochen misunderstood him, and he immediately explained what he meant.

It turned out that there were spies from the Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race and Ancient Necromancer Race, and they were trying to exploit the feud between the deity of the demonic sect Ouyang Huan and Zhang Ruochen to instigate people.

“Rest assured, Lord Zhang. The saintess of my sect is going to Central Empire City to fight them. Concubine Lin will be fine.”

Zhao Qilin was one of the leaders of Night Palace that was responsible for collecting information, so he knew a lot of information.

“The Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race and Ancient Necromancer Race.”

Zhang Ruochen tried to control his emotions, then he asked, “Is the saintess of your sect still in Central Empire City?”

“She should be,” Zhao Qilin said.

Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and said calmly, “Okay, you can leave now!”

“Are you really letting me go?”

“Just go! Why are you even talking? Do you need me to crush all your bones then throw you away?”

Guoguo raised his furry fist and spoke fiercely.

Zhao Qilin was a bit scared of that savage beast that looked like both a dragon and a rabbit. He immediately stood up and flew away as fast as possible.

A mild wind flowed to Zhang Ruochen.

Princess White Li stared at where Zhao Qilin left and said, “Are you really letting him go?”

“Though he’s already a saint, he doesn’t have strong willpower. Perhaps it’s better to spare his life for the future,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t like cowards. However, a person like that might be of better use if he stayed on the opposition side.

“Perhaps it’s time to go to Central Empire City before the new year.”

Zhang Ruochen looked at the foggy sky and started to recall Concubine Lin.

He was not only the crown prince of Sacred Central Empire, but also the ninth prince of Yunwu Commandery. Zhang Ruochen felt the motherly love from Concubine Lin the first time, and he had treated Concubine Lin as his true mother for a long time.

They hadn’t reunited to spend the new year and to have new year’s eve’s dinner together for a long time.

When everyone was reuniting with their families, they were all alone.

Zhang Ruochen had been trying to hide from the hunting of the imperial government. He had either hidden in Yin and Yang Sect or Blood God Sect. He had been through lots of extreme dangers for resources and cultivation.

Concubine Lin was only an ordinary person who didn’t have the willpower Zhang Ruochen did. Perhaps in her world, Zhang Ruochen was her everything.

She would definitely worry and cry like every other mother whenever she learned that Zhang Ruochen was in danger.

It wasn’t because Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to go see her, but rather that he didn’t dare to do so.

Zhang Ruochen had way too many enemies, and if those enemies shifted focus to Concubine Lin, it would be her doom.

Now, things were different, as his enemies were already targeting Concubine Lin, so he had to go.

The Universe World had already come into being, turning into a stable and safe world. It was time to bring Concubine Lin in.

Zhang Ruochen left Xianji Mountain and headed toward Central Empire City.

Central Empire City used to be the capital city of Qingchi Central Empire, and after Emperor Qing and Chi Yao united the world, it became the city of the First Central Empire.

After Chi Yao rose to the throne, she led her saints and changed the spiritual meridian of the entire Kunlun’s Field.

All the spiritual meridians gathered at Central Empire City, which made the Central Empire City richest of spiritual Qi across the entire Kunlun’s Field. All the monks gathered in the city, which made it much more prosperous than the capital city of Chiqing.

Central Empire City was the embodiment of the prosperity of the human beings, and its birth was a great miracle.

To Zhang Ruochen, Central Empire City was a dangerous spot. However, now that the Immortal Vampires, Death Zen Sect and Yi Ghost Capital City were all causing chaos, most of the saints weren’t in Central Empire City.

This was the best time to head to Central Empire City.

There was a space wormhole beside Hongchuan Mansion in the north that led straight to Central Empire City.

Both Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen had practiced Traceless 36 Changes. They changed their bodies, faces, and forces, turning into an old man and an old woman.

Huang Yanchen’s hair became white, and she was stooping because of her back. She said in a hoarse voice, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have hidden it from you, but that was when your meridians were crushed. I was scared that you might…”

“No need to explain. I understand you perfectly.”

Zhang Ruochen held Huang Yanchen’s hands tightly and smiled. “Not many people will be genuinely nice to me. I’ll cherish everyone who does that.”

Huang Yanchen pouted, put her head against Zhang Ruochen’s chest and then smiled with sweetness and bitterness.

Zhang Ruochen realized that she was very emotional, so he asked, “What happened?”

“Nothing.”

Huang Yanchen tried to control her emotions, pounded Zhang Ruochen’s chest gently and said, “I’m just wondering whether you disdain my ugly and aging face or not.”

“Why would I do that?”

Zhang Ruochen stroked Huang Yanchen’s wrinkled face and said, “You’ve given the youngest, and the most beautiful years of your life to me. In my mind, you’ll always be youthful and pretty.”

“When I really become old and ugly and you’re still young, you might not say that anymore,” Huang Yanchen said.

“If you get older by one year, then I’ll grow older by one year too. As long as you’re not leaving me, I’ll follow you everywhere.” Zhang Ruochen held her hands more tightly.

A familiar voice came from afar. “The love is still so strong at such an age. How adorable.”

Martial Saint Canglan went to the space wormhole, followed by six female saints.

It was Martial Saint Canglan and Saintess Liu Li who had said that, and she adored the way Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen embraced each other.

Zhang Ruochen feared that they might recognize them, so he dragged Huang Yanchen to the group.

After an hour, the space wormhole opened. Zhang Ruochen, Huang Yanchen, Martial Saint Canglang, and the other six saintesses all walked in.

As they walked out of the space wormhole, they arrived in Central Empire City, showing up on a square.

“Martial Saint.”

A team of royal golden-armored soldiers was waiting on the square, and they all groveled seeing Martial Saint Canglan show up.

Those monks standing around were also horrified. They groveled on the ground and didn’t even dare to raise their heads.

Zhang Ruochen shot a glare at Martial Saint Canglan as he now understood why she was so filled with pride. Perhaps nobody in Central Empire City dared cross her.

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen noticed an exquisite being, and he quickly lowered his head.

Saint Lady was wearing a Confucius robe and walked out of the royal golden-armored army. She was wearing a bun on her head, dressed in male customs, though she still looked pretty.

However, her mind power was so great that almost nobody could see her face.

Saint Lady smiled and said, “Congratulations, Sister Canglan, for making it to the heaven pass realm and getting Fentian Sword back.”

Martial Saint Canglan only smiled after seeing Saint Lady. She said, “Why did you come here yourself, Nalan?”

“I came here to receive and congratulate you. Surprised?” Saint Lady said.

Martial Saint Canglan found Saint Lady to be a bit weird today, but given that she had gained a lot in the north, she didn’t overthink it.

Surrounded by the royal golden-armored army, Martial Saint Canglan and Saint Lady left together, heading toward Ziwei Palace.

Meanwhile, a trace of mind power was transmitted into Zhang Ruochen’s mind. “Midnight tonight, Qinghong Pavilion.”

Zhang Ruochen smiled bitterly, watching Saint Lady leave. Saint Lady turned around and gave him a look as well.

“I got recognized anyway! That means she wasn’t waiting for Martial Saint Canglan. Instead, she was waiting for me. Did she know in advance that I was coming to Central Empire City? I used the Buddhist beads of Buddha Emperor to cover my forces. How did she know about us being here?”

Zhang Ruochen got more and more worried.

If Saint Lady knew exactly where he was heading to, did the other Confucius great beings know as well?

Huang Yanchen asked, “Did she notice us?”

“Yes. She asked me to go meet up with her tonight.” Zhang Ruochen didn’t hide anything from her.

Huang Yanchen said, “Then go!”

“You don’t mind it?” Zhang Ruochen smiled.

“I have fight Saint Lady’s morals and your principles. I reckon she might have something very important to tell you tonight,” Huang Yanchen said.

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t wait anymore. He said, “Let’s go to the heir mansion first.”

Each heir had a mansion to themselves, and Concubine Lin was living in the mansion that belonged to Huang Yanchen.

Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen managed to get in without being noticed by the guards at ease.

Zhang Ruochen saw Concubine Lin’s stooping back. She was sitting on the threshold and staring at the sky.

Zhang Ruochen felt sad seeing that, and he started to tear up a bit. He called, “Mother.”
