Chapter 812: Meeting Evil Monks Again

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

Immediately afterward, Jialuo Lan’s figure emerged from the Blood River.

Jialuo Lan was a Half-Saint elder of the Death Zen Sect. He was in the same generation as Jialuo Gu and Jialuo Yuan, whom Zhang Ruochen had killed.

He looked to be around 50 years old. He was a bit fat and his golden cassock was open, revealing a round stomach. He kind of looked like a benevolent Buddha.

Another Buddhist also appeared beside him. This was Jialuo Kong. He seemed a bit younger. He was thin, short, and had darker skin. He gave off a cold and sinister feeling.

These two evil monks of the Death Zen Sect both had mysteriously high cultivations. Even Zhang Ruochen couldn’t tell their limits.

Since Zhang Ruochen could sense that they’d run into the Space Domain, they must have been able to feel the ripples of spatial power with their cultivations. Thus, it wouldn’t be hard for them to guess Zhang Ruochen’s identity.

Jialuo Kong’s long and narrow eyes glanced at Ghost King Bloodmoon. His eyes shone with sinister light as he chuckled. “I didn’t expect that someone as young and talented as the Time and Space Descendant would have this kind of fetish. Enjoying a beautiful Ghost King on an uninhabited island…it definitely is a stimulating experience!”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes turned cold. “Bald donkey, stop your nonsense. Don’t think that everyone is like the monks of the Death Zen Sect.”

“Ah, so I’m speaking nonsense. In that case, Sir Zhang, can you do me a favor at little cost and let me enjoy Ghost King Bloodmoon? If I can suck all her Ghost Qi, I’ll definitely break into a higher realm.”

Jialuo Kong licked his lips, a leer hanging on his face. He didn’t try to disguise his evil thoughts at all.

The technique he cultivated was very creepy. It was the Yin-Yang Euphoric Buddha Technique. He could only raise his cultivation by having sex with dead souls to absorb their Yin Qi and Corpse Qi, refining them into his body.

This was disgusting to regular people, but Jialuo Kong indulged in it.

Many times, he would kill a girl when he couldn’t find a suitable female corpse and use her to satisfy his cultivation needs.

Ghost King Bloodmoon had extremely high cultivation. The evil Qi contained in her body was naturally very thick as well. If Jialuo Kong could suck her dry, his cultivation would definitely skyrocket.

Plus, Ghost King Bloodmoon was also beautiful. The other female corpses were all cold dead objects, but she was a living thing. This naturally turned Jialuo Kong on.

Ghost King Bloodmoon didn’t understand what Jialuo Kong meant, but she could understand that he wanted to suck her power. For her entire life, she’d only devoured other dead and living souls. How could someone dare to devour her?

She shot Zhang Ruochen a look. She wanted to know what decision this human guy would make. Would he really give her away for an evil monk to feed on?

In her opinion, Zhang Ruochen was too weak. He was far from these two monks, so he would choose to give in. If that was the case, she’d have to use her last bit of strength for a suicide attack on these three humans.

If she had to die, they’d die together.

Zhang Ruochen flicked at the corner of his clothes and chuckled. “Do you a favor? I don’t even know your names. Why should I do you a favor? Plus, I’m in the middle of interrogating Ghost King Bloodmoon but you’ve snuck over. If I didn’t have the Space Domain and didn’t discover you two, wouldn’t I be dead already? And yet you ask me to do you a favor. Do you really think I’m easy to fool like a child?”

Ghost King Bloodmoon was surprised. She hadn’t expected that he would be able to stand his ground before these two powerful enemies. It seemed that this human Monk wasn’t a coward.

But what did interrogation mean?

A mere human dared to say that he was interrogating her. This really was a huge blow to Ghost King Bloodmoon’s pride. Her hatred of Zhang Ruochen deepened as well.

Jialuo Kong’s expression grew furious. He wanted to burst out, kill Zhang Ruochen, and take Ghost King Bloodmoon. But Jialuo Lan stopped him from the side.

Jialuo Lan was still smiling. He didn’t seem angry at all. “Sir Zhang, I don’t know why you didn’t die under the Nine Serenity Sword Saint’s sword, but I do know that you’re a wanted criminal of the imperial court. The Empress personally sent orders for you to be captured.

“The powerful cultivators of the imperial court can’t do anything to you when you’re in the netherworld, but you are destined to forever hide in the shadows. Once you return to the Kunlun’s Field, an endless stream of people will try to capture you, kill you, and bring your head to the empress in exchange for a reward.

“The Death Zen Sect doesn’t fear the imperial court, but we despise it. If I were you, I would work with the Death Zen Sect instead of becoming our enemy.

“You are a top genius. If you join us, you will definitely become someone of importance. Even if the imperial court wants to kill you, the Death Zen Sect will stop them for you. If possible, we can even overthrow them. At that time, you won’t have to hide anymore. You can do whatever you wish without worry.”

Jialuo Lan’s intentions were clear in his words. He wanted Zhang Ruochen to join the Death Zen Sect.

Of course, it was possible he only wanted to fool Zhang Ruochen. When the suitable moment came, they would kill him without mercy.

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen just smiled thinly. He thought for a while before speaking. “This is your first time sensing the power of space and you’ve already determined my identity. The Death Zen Sect must have collected much information about me before, correct?”

Jialuo Lan’s eyes narrowed. “The Death Zen Sect’s enemy is Empress Chi Yao. Thus, Empress Chi Yao’s enemy is our friend. You are the only criminal in the past century that the empress personally ordered to be caught. How can my sect not pay attention to that? Even the Elder has personally mentioned your name before.”

This actually shocked Zhang Ruochen. “The Death Zen Elder has mentioned me before?”

Jialuo Lan nodded. “He once said that in present day, only the Time and Space Descendant can fight against Empress Chi Yao when he matures.”

This was why Jialuo Lan wanted to get close to Zhang Ruochen. If he could bring the actual Time and Space Descendant to the Elder, it would be a great accomplishment.

Zhang Ruochen laughed. “The Death Zen Elder thinks highly of me.”

“Sir Zhang, you are an intelligent man. You should know how to choose.”

Jialuo Lan was still smiling, but there was a threatening undertone to his voice. Zhang Ruochen glanced at the two evil monks of the Death Zen Sect. It was naturally clear that if he refused them, they would kill him.

However, he would never go against his morals. “Our Ways are different.”

Jialuo Kong clenched his fists and his ten fingers cracked. He laughed sharply. “Well said. In that case, there’s no need to keep wasting time. Senior Brother, capture him and take him back to the Elder. With the Elder’s skills, he might be able to rob him of his ability to control time and space.”

The two evil monks wiped away their smiles. Powerful bursts of murderous intent surged from their bodies.

Whoosh!

The river started spinning under their feet, forming two whirlpools 100 feet wide.

Zhang Ruochen was still composed. He scanned the surroundings. Other than the two monks, there were also more than 100 Half-Saint puppets. They stood in the distance in a battle formation that surrounded the entire island.

Clearly, the two monks were also worried that Zhang Ruochen would use the saint decree or the power of space to escape. That was why they’d used this battle formation to block all exits.

Jialuo Lan pulled out a golden pole as thick as one’s arm and wrapped it in Holy Qi. Slowly, it flew into the air, radiating with extremely powerful saintly might. There were 765 inscriptions inside. It was a powerful Hundred-Pattern Saint Weapon.

Kaboom!

Jialuo Lan activated the golden pole to its greatest state. Various ancient Buddhist runes flew out and hovered in the air. They shone brilliantly, turning the entire place gold.

Before the pole fell down, Zhang Ruochen already felt great pressure. It was like his scalp was about to crack apart. Other than the Shooting Star Invisible Cloak, his other clothes all turned to dust.

He was a third level Half-Saint.

Zhang Ruochen immediately determined Jialuo Lan’s cultivation. It was exactly what he’d thought.

“Eight Directions Attack!” Jialuo Lan roared.

The golden pole transformed into a streak of light. It flew out quickly, shooting surely toward Zhang Ruochen on the island.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t dodge it at all. He activated his powerful Sword Intent and called in his mind, Sword One.

The inscriptions on the Abyss Ancient Sword quickly emerged. The strongest power burst out, transforming into a beam of Sword Qi. It went to face the golden pole.

With a loud boom, the two powerful saint weapons clashed. A strong gust of shockwaves spread out in all directions.

Soon after, there was a huge explosion from the small island in the river. Smoke and dust rose up.

Jialuo Lan stood on the river and looked in the distance. The island was split in half. There were even tidal waves around it. A smirk instantly appeared on his menacing face. That attack was more than enough to kill 100 Monks in the Ninth Change of the Fish-Dragon Realm.

The so-called Time and Space Descendant should have been reduced to ashes now.

Jialuo Lan sighed with regret. “If he used the power of space to escape, he might have a chance to live. But he’s a mere Monk in the Fish-Dragon Realm and he dared to go against me directly. How is this different from a raw egg trying to hit a rock? But it is a pity that I couldn’t bring him to the Elder.”

Jialuo Kong also felt disappointed. If he could have brought the Time and Space Descendant to the Elder, he would have accomplished something great.

But the next moment, Jialuo Lan and Jialuo Kong’s eyes almost fell out of their sockets.

“How is this possible?”

After the smoke dissipated on the island, they saw Zhang Ruochen still standing in his original spot. He looked tall and his back was straight, as if he’d never even budged.
