Chapter 2448: A Friend of the Lord of Destiny

“Huang Tian, stop them!” Zhang Ruochen ordered.

Zhang Ruochen patted Huang Tian’s head and walked into the Sevenstar Imperial Palace. Seeing that Moyin was still refining and absorbing Cang Baizi’s Sainthood Source, he urged it.

Bang

He took out the Violet Gourd and poured out Xing Qian’s corpse.

Although he didn’t kill Xing Qian, the Adjudication Division was obviously not interested in evidence. It was useless to explain, so it was better to destroy the body.

“Eh?”

Zhang Ruochen had a strange feeling. He couldn’t help but carefully look at Xing Qian’s body. Then he slowly stepped back and used the Saint Qi in his body to activate the inscription of the array and Divine Marks in the palace.

The entire palace was covered in dense nets of lightning.

After retreating to a safe place, Zhang Ruochen said coldly, “Come out. Do you want to continue hiding?”

Something strange happened.

Xing Qian’s stiff body stood up and said hoarsely, “Yuanhui-level genius is something. Even with the cultivation of the Hundred-Shackle Realm, you can sense my aura.”

Whoosh

Seven-Armed Elder separated from Xing Qian’s body. His eyes were deep as he looked at the lightning around him. He had the demeanor of a calm powerhouse.

“What Cang Baizi said is true. Bai Qing’er is really dealing with you,” said Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen knew that Seven-Armed Elder’s spiritual power was strong. He was a very dangerous person, so he was on high alert at all times.

Seven-Armed Elder glanced outside the hall and laughed sinisterly. “You dare to go against the Adjudication Division in the Divine Domain of Destiny. I don’t know whether to say that you’re brave or that you’re courting death. Forget it. I won’t get involved in this. I’ll leave first.”

“Leave?” Zhang Ruochen asked. “I don’t think you should leave. Since you’re here, you can help me testify. Xing Qian was killed by Bai Qing’er. Don’t you want to get rid of Bai Qing’er?”.

Seven-Armed Elder said, “Testify? Get Rid of Bai Qing’er? My genius, don’t be naive. What kind of place is the Adjudication Division you think? Once I enter, all my secrets will be dug out. If I testify for you, my soul will be searched thoroughly. When the time comes, will you be able to hide the fact that you killed Cang Baizi and destroyed his body?”

“You can cut off that part of my memory,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Seven-Armed Elder said, “The Fane of Destiny will help me recover my memory.”

Go to the Adjudication Division? Go to the Fane of Destiny?

Seven-Armed Elder would never go. If he did, the secrets of the Fane of Origin would definitely no longer be a secret.

Zhang Ruochen had never thought of asking Seven-Armed Elder to testify against Bai Qing’er. He just said those words to test him and confirm his guess.

Zhang Ruochen said, “So, senior god of gamblers didn’t want to come out for my own good?”

“I admire a junior like you. I must take care of you,” Seven-Armed Elder said seriously.

It will be strange for Zhang Ruochen to believe in him.

In the House of Enchanteurs, Zhang Ruochen had caused him to lose more than 500,000 Godstones. He might even want to kill someone.

Seven-Armed Elder looked outside again and thought to himself, ‘If this continues, Fane of Destiny’s adjudicator will arrive soon.’

Once the adjudicator arrived, Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t be able to leave no matter how strong his spiritual power was.

Seven-Armed Elder waved his hand and said, “I must leave now. Great genius, quickly put away the array and the Divine Marks.”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “Senior, you can’t leave.”

“Why? If I am caught by the Adjudication Division, you will not be able to clear your name!” Seven-Armed Elder said seriously as if he was thinking of Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen said, “I can kill to cover up!”

“Kill to cover-up? Kill who? Kill… Me?” asked Seven-Armed Elder.

Seven-Armed Elder pointed at himself, his face full of astonishment. Then, he laughed out loud, he said, “I don’t want to lower myself to your level because you’re the grandson of Wargod Bloodximius. I didn’t expect you to want to kill me. Do you know what level my spiritual power has reached? No one below the divinity would dare to threaten me.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “Senior, you lost a lot of your lifespan in the Violet Gourd, right? Are you still weak?”

Seven-Armed Elder sneered and said nothing.

Zhang Ruochen said again, “This Sevenstar Imperial Palace was forged by Wargod Bloodximius. The Supreme Saint Inscriptions and Divine Inscriptions, including the Array Inscriptions, were carved by him. In your current state, are you sure you can escape?”

Seven-Armed Elder’s face turned blue and purple. He said, “Great genius Zhang, we have no grudges against each other. Why do we have to fight to the death? Do you know that you are going to die, so you deliberately dragged someone down with you… hiss…”

Seven-Armed Elder took a deep breath. He felt that he was most likely right!

How could Zhang Ruochen be so crazy?

Seven-Armed Elder’s tone softened, he said, “How about this? If you let me leave the Sevenstar Imperial Palace, I’ll do my best to save you from the Adjudication Division. What do you think? If you don’t believe me, I can swear to the gods.”

So what if he swore?

He could do his best anyway. If he couldn’t save Zhang Ruochen, he couldn’t be blamed.

Zhang Ruochen said, “I’m very curious. Why did Bai Qing’er want to deal with you?”

“Why else? It’s all because of the Godstones. In the House of Enchanteurs, I lost more than 500,000 Godstones. If I couldn’t return them, she would hunt me down and kill me. Sigh! More than 90% of the killings in this world are because of the Godstones,” Seven-Armed Elder said.

Zhang Ruochen said, “A god of gambling who doesn’t have more than 500,000 Godstones?”

Seven-Armed Elder sighed repeatedly, trying to win Zhang Ruochen’s sympathy, he said, “Outsiders only see that I won a lot of Godstones, but they don’t know that I also spent a lot of Godstones to prolong my life. The pills to prolong my life are extremely expensive, and I have already emptied my savings.”

Zhang Ruochen comforted him and said, “You should have come to me. I can help you.”

“What do you mean?” Seven-Armed Elder asked.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Don’t you know that I have the new seedlings of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree, and it can also give birth to the Spring of Life?”

“Really?” Seven-Armed Elder asked.

Seven-Armed Elder’s spirit was greatly boosted, and his eyes shone brightly.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Before I answer your question, let me ask you a question.”

“Hurry up and ask,” said Seven-Armed Elder.

Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “Since you don’t have a long lifespan, how did you survive in the Violet Gourd? Cang Baizi was inside and has lost thousands of years of lifespan.”

Seven-Armed Elder immediately restrained his excitement and realized that this junior had been leading him on.

He was wrong.

Seven-Armed Elder chuckled and said, “How could a powerhouse like me not have the means to fight against the Mark of Time?”

“Since you say so, I’ll answer your question. I don’t have… the Spring of Life,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Seven-Armed Elder said angrily, “Zhang Ruochen, the most important thing for you now is to solve the crisis of the Adjudication Division. What’s the point of you manipulating me?”

Zhang Ruochen said, “The Adjudication Division came to me for no reason because of the fight between you and Bai Qing’er. How can I solve the crisis if I don’t even know why I’m being targeted?”

Seven-Armed Elder said, “What do you want to know?”

Zhang Ruochen’s face became serious. He said, “I overheard the conversation between Bai Qing’er and the others. She used the Rainbow Viburnum to set up a trap in the House of Enchanteurs to deal with you.”

“This vicious woman dares to plot against me,” Seven-Armed Elder said angrily.

Zhang Ruochen added, “But she lost more than 500,000 Godstones, yet she claims that she didn’t lose. Moreover, as long as she keeps an eye on you, she can win it back.”

“I have reason to guess that you must have a secret that is worth more than 500,000 Godstones.”

“If you tell me that secret, I will let you go now. Otherwise, when the Divine Judge arrives, you won’t be able to leave even if you want to.”

Seven-Armed Elder remained silent. He gave Zhang Ruochen a cold stare. He unleashed his immense spiritual power and prepared to charge out.

Zhang Ruochen was not afraid at all, he said, “If I’m not wrong, senior, have you cultivated the Path of Origin? Under the divinity, only the Time cultivator and the Divine Eye of Origin can see the Mark of Time clearly. Only when you can see clearly can you avoid it.

“Senior, you must have used the Power of Origin in the House of Enchanteurs to sense the fluctuation of life inside the Rainbow Viburnum, right?

“Just the Power of Origin alone is not enough to make Bai Qing’er go all out to deal with you. If there isn’t a huge benefit, no one is willing to provoke a powerful enemy like you.

“It doesn’t matter if senior doesn’t say it. When I am captured and sent to the Adjudication Division, I can use this to make a deal with the Divine Judge. Compared to killing me, I believe that the Divine Judge should be more interested in the secrets of you.”

Seven-Armed Elder was discouraged. He retracted his spiritual energy and said, “You won! I will tell you everything.”

…

The Fane of Destiny was the center of power of the ten clans. Countless people believed in destiny.

It was these believers who pushed the Fane of Destiny to its supreme ruling position and became the ruler of the Infernal Court.

Among the three divisions and twelve palaces of the Fane of Destiny, the Death Palace, the Misfortune Palace, the Anger Palace, the Ominous Palace, the Adjudication Division, and the Destiny Division were all main forces for killing.

However, their targets were different.

The Death Palace, the Misfortune Palace, the Anger Palace, and the Ominous Palace were focused on killing the various worlds, ancient civilizations, undiscovered worlds, hidden realms, and planets in the universe.

The Adjudication Division was focused on judging and punishing those cultivators who did not abide by the bottom line among the major forces in the Infernal Court. It maintained a delicate balance among the ten clans and demonstrated the control of the Fane of Destiny over the Infernal Court.

The Destiny Division was more concerned with defense, protecting the Fane of Destiny, the Divine Domain of Destiny, and defending the supreme position of the Fane of Destiny. During the recent Yuanhui period, the Destiny Division had grown a lot. Gradually, it began to interfere with external affairs and encroach on the power of the Adjudication Division and the major divine palaces.

At the headquarters of the Destiny Division.

Lord Wu Yue, one of the ten Lords of Destiny, had gone into seclusion to cultivate an unrivaled divine ability. He chose to come out of seclusion early to see an old friend.

It was worth mentioning that the saint technique was a cultivation method for Saint Realm cultivators.

The higher knowledge was a cultivation method for gods.

Lord Wu Yue was not a god, but he could cultivate divine abilities. His cultivation had obviously reached a shocking level.

Lord Wu Yue’s old friend was a black-robed man who sat opposite him.

Commander Cerberus stood outside the hall and heard the laughter coming from the hall. He was extremely curious, ‘Why was the Lord of Destiny, who was always serious, smiling so happily?

‘Who was that black-robed man?’

The Lord of Destiny raised the bronze triangular cup and said, “Brother Ki Tian, you must have gained a lot after cultivating in the Ancient Ruins realm for a hundred years, right? When did you come out of seclusion?”

“Recently,” said Ki Tian.

Ki Tian drank a cup and said, “After I have ascended divinity, every step is very difficult. Let alone a hundred years, even a thousand years of seclusion won’t make much progress.”

Lord Wu Yue shook his head and said, “I would believe that if it were others. But, You are Ki Tian. In less than a thousand years after ascending to the Infernal Court, you will become a deity. You are someone who can compete with Sword God Feng Chen and Yu Qiu. In the last thousand years, the most outstanding people in the Infernal Court were you guys.

“Unfortunately, Yu Qiu failed to transcend the Divine Tribulation, and the world lost an opponent. Come, let’s drink.”

Ki Tian finished his drink, put down his wine cup, and asked, “How long will it take you to transcend the Divine Tribulation?”

“I don’t dare to take such a risk as you, and I don’t want to follow in Yu Qiu’s footsteps. I still have to accumulate more time. Moreover, the Destiny Division is in a critical period of development. If I breakthrough to become a god, won’t the Adjudication Division celebrate?” Lord Wu Yue, said with a meaningful smile.

He and Ki Tian were best friends. Naturally, they talked about everything and had no scruples.

Ki Tian lowered his voice and said, “I heard that the Adjudication Division is plotting something big again.”

Lord Wu Yue stopped smiling and said, “A move to deal with Zhang Ruochen?”

“Even Zhuo Yunong went there personally!” Ki Tian said.

Lord Wu Yue said, “Destiny’s Creek flows backward and floods the fane. Such a phenomenon had never happened before. I had long heard that several Judges in the Adjudication Division wanted to get rid of Zhang Ruochen. Now that they finally had an opportunity, how could they let it go?

“But I didn’t expect Zhuo Yunong, such a smart man, to make a move himself. Zhang Ruochen, the so-called genius of the Yuanhui level, had a slim chance of becoming a god. At least for now, he was insignificant. However, if we kill him, how could the Wargod Bloodximius, who was behind him, let it go?

“I don’t understand what Zhuo Yunong did this time.”

Qi Tian nodded, “Exactly! Why do we have to kill Zhang Ruochen personally? Even if the Adjudication Division does, it’s enough to send a general. If the Wargod Bloodximius comes looking for trouble, we can just push the general to be the scapegoat. “It doesn’t seem like his style to make a move personally.”

Lord Wu Yue’s eyeballs rolled and he said, “Is there something we don’t know about?”

Ki Tian sat up straight and smiled.

Lord Wu Yue said, “Brother Ki Tian, you must know the inside story. Hurry up and tell me!”

Ki Tian said through a voice transmission, “I heard that a superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin appeared in the House of Enchanteurs. It may have something to do with this.”

“Superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin?” Lord Wu Yue said puzzly.

Lord Wu Yue stood up abruptly as if he had been electrocuted. His eyes were like two burning divine suns as he said, “The Fane of Origin has been established?”

“It’s very possible,” said Ki Tian.

Then, Ki Tian continued, “If it wasn’t for the Fane of Origin, I can’t think of any other reason that could make Zhuo Yunong so desperate.”

“The secret of the Fane of Origin can’t be revealed. Of course, he has to go there personally,” Lord Wu Yue said coldly.

Ki Tian said, “Originally, the Divine Domain of Destiny should be managed by the Destiny Division. However, the Adjudication Division has seized more than half of the power. If the Adjudication Division finds the Fane of Origin, the Destiny Division will no longer have the ability to contend with them. Perhaps, one day, there will only be two divisions left in the Fane of Destiny!”

Lord Wu Yue let out a loud snort like a bolt of lightning as he said, “Brother Ki Tian, don’t worry. You will not be left behind in our generation.”

Commander Cerberus walked in and said, “Reporting to Lord Wu Yue, Princess Luo Sha of Devala has sent an envoy to seek an audience.”

“No,” said Lord Wu Yue.

Lord Wu Yue waved his hand. Suddenly, he thought of something and changed his words, “Let her in.”

A moment later, a Rakshasa Supreme Saint held a purple-gold box and smiled, “Your Highness, the princess has ordered me to present you a gift.”

The purple-gold box flew into Lord Wu Yue’s hand.

When he opened the box, a blinding purple light surged out. Accompanied by a deafening lion’s roar, it was as if a divine lion was sealed inside.

Even with Lord Wu Yue’s cultivation level, his expression changed when he saw the pill in the box. He quickly closed the box again. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He said, “Did your princess ask you to deliver any message?”

The Rakshasa Supreme Saint shook his head and smiled, “The princess said that as long as Lord Wu Yue likes it, it’s fine.”

“Return to your princess and tell her that I like this gift very much. I appreciate her generous gift,” said Lord Wu Yue.

After the Rakshasa Supreme Saint left, Lord Wu Yue patted the box, he could not help but smile. “This Princess Luo Sha is really a smart woman. She knows very well that in the Divine Domain of Destiny, only the Fane of Destiny dares to challenge the Fane of Destiny. To deal with the Adjudication Division, only the Fane of Destiny can do it.”

“The Emperor Grade Sacred Pill is indeed precious. But, were you been bribed just like that?” Ki Tian said.

Lord Wu Yue shook his head, “Since I’ve already decided to interfere in this matter, why not do me a favor? The princess is very good at choosing gifts. This Emperor Grade Sacred Pill can help me transcend the Divine Tribulation. I can’t refuse it no matter what!

“Commander Cerberus!”

Commander Cerberus said, “Yes, sir.”

“This is an order. Tell all the saint guards of the Winterpage City to go to the Vastsea Manor immediately and capture Zhang Ruochen. I’ll arrive later.”

After passing down the order, Lord Wu Yue thought of something and said coldly, “Commander Cerberus, whoever you met today and what you heard, it’s best not to spread it.”

Commander Cerberus was afraid of being silenced. He jumped in fright and quickly swore, “I swore in my name, if I say anything, my soul and body will be destroyed. I’ll die a horrible death.”

…

Zhang Ruochen held a superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin in front of him. He looked at it carefully and said, “Are you saying that Bai Qing’er is going to kill you because of this superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin?”

“The superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin is so important that I took it out. Why would I lie about it?” Seven-Armed Elder said.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Is there really only one?”

“Young man, why are you so suspicious? This is a superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin. Do you think it can be found everywhere? Because of it, I almost lost my life. It’s good to give it to you. This kind of thing will bring death to anyone.” Seven-Armed Elder looked indifferent.

Zhang Ruochen said, “But there are five superior-grade Divine Crystals of Origin in the House of Enchanteurs. Why would Bai Qing’er take this one from you?”

“Those five have already been reserved by the major forces. How can The Enchanteur Chamber have the right to have them?”

Seven-Armed Elder said in a pleading tone, “Great genius, can you let me go now?”

Zhang Ruochen stretched out a finger and said, “One last question. Where did you get this superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin?”

Seven-Armed Elder stared into Zhang Ruochen’s eyes with a sincere look, “Of course I won it from the casino of the House of Enchanteurs!” he said. “Quickly put away the divine inscriptions and inscription of the array. If we are late, we will fall into the hands of the Divine Judge.”

“It’s too late. He’s already here!” said Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen looked at the sky outside the hall.

He saw a thick layer of black clouds rolling in from afar. The strong might of the Path seemed to be able to crush heaven and earth.

The three magnates of Guanghan, Wu Zu, Emperor Nirvana, and Supreme Saint Jiu Ling were far weaker than the Saint Realm cultivators Zhang Ruochen had met. Only Lord Ming, who had yet to break through, could overcome such power.
