Chapter 1736: Tianluo Dojo
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Yu Chenjing found a relatively secret spot near Moon G.o.ddess Dojo and stared at the door of the dojo wanting to meet Nine Heavenly Maiden after she came out.
Without the ident.i.ty of ‘Thousand Star Maiden’ and the protection from Tian Huang and Di Lao, Yu Chenjing felt much more relaxed.
However, Nine Heavenly Maiden still hadn’t come out after several hours.
“Wait, is she a monk from Guanghan Field?”
Yu Chenjing couldn’t be more curious about Nine Heavenly Maiden’s ident.i.ty as she sensed nine different energy ripples in her body, and each of them was phenomenal.
There were some strange ripples that she couldn’t figure out even with her power of origin.
Which had almost never happened before!
After two hours, the dawn was drawing near. Yu Chenjing couldn’t keep waiting anymore, so she walked straight into Moon G.o.ddess Dojo.
Blackie walked out and stopped Yu Chenjing. “What are you doing here again, girl?”
“Girl?”
n.o.body in her clan, except the supreme-saint seniors, dared call her that.
“What do you want, girl? Are you here for Zhang Ruochen again? Unfortunately, he’s left the dojo already, girl.”
“Don’t you dare call me girl again!”
A trace of white light shone on the tip of the index finger of Yu Chenjing’s right hand.
“Okay, okay, I won’t call you that… Wait. I’ve been around for a much longer time than you have. What if I call you girl? Girl! Girl!” Blackie kept screaming.
Yu Chenjing pointed at Blackie with her glowing finger, forming a trace of sharp light.
Blackie was quick enough to dodge it.
Bang!
The finger sword hit the ground, leaving a deep hole.
Blackie looked p.i.s.sed off. “How dare you actually attack me? Do you really think I won’t fight back at you because you’re Zhang Ruochen’s paramour?”
“What did you just say?”
Yu Chenjing couldn’t feel more awkward.
Blackie didn’t have any scruples in speaking out. “Stop pretending! Amazing has told me everything. You and Zhang Ruochen had a good time in the G.o.d-Naming Platform, didn’t you? You guys did it in the carriage, but I do have to warn you that Zhang Ruochen has two children already. He won’t take care of you.”
Yu Chenjing had never seen a bird that talked nonsense like this. She tried to calm herself down and asked, “Who’s the ‘Amazing’ you mentioned?”
“How could you not know it? It told me that it was the only witness when you and Zhang Ruochen got engaged. Why are you still hiding there, Amazing? Show yourself.”
Blackie walked to the herb garden beside the weapon-refining pavilion and dug out the Amazing Little Taoist, dragging it in front of Yu Chenjing. “How could you fabricate stories? She’s the deity of Thousand Star Civilization, and her reputation is vital.”
The Amazing Little Taoist raised three of its fingers and said, “I swear to G.o.d that I didn’t fabricate anything. Zhang Ruochen and her highness definitely signed an engagement letter, and it’s in her highness’s dress.”
Yu Chenjing looked more and more hostile.
“Am I right, your highness?” asked the Amazing Little Taoist.
Yu Chenjing was so bothered by what Blackie and the Amazing Little Taoist said that she wanted to kill them, and certainly Zhang Ruochen as well.
She didn’t think that the Amazing Little Taoist had actually been in the carriage. Instead, she was sure that it was Zhang Ruochen who had told everyone about it.
Although it sensed the murderous Qi coming out of Yu Chenjing, Blackie didn’t realize that it was targeting it. It said to Yu Chenjing, “Girl, you can’t do anything about it. Their mother is too powerful for you to kill.”
“Shut up! I’ll cut your tongue out.”
Yu Chenjing grabbed the s.p.a.ce in front of her and formed thousands of traces of sword Qi, covering Blackie, which made whoos.h.i.+ng and ear-piercing sword noises.
Blackie suddenly spread its wings, and black flames gushed out of the feathers, turning into a layer of heavy and blazing fire, dismantling all the sword Qi.
Even Yu Chenjing was knocked back.
“Do you really think you are powerful enough to attack me?”
Blackie’s eyes turned into fireb.a.l.l.s, and its claws released saint Qi which went underground, activating the formation inscriptions in Moon G.o.ddess Dojo. Suddenly, it was all dark in the dojo, and there were dozens of electric pythons shuttling back and forth in the dark clouds.
“A top-tier level grade-eight attack formation.”
Yu Chenjing was a formation saint master herself, so she knew how powerful this formation was. She had to reexamine the power of that owl saint beast with a cheap mouth.
“Zhang Ruochen does have a lot of powerful beings working for him. Even a bird he has is that incredible.”
Yu Chenjing was perceptive enough to approximate Blackie’s power through its formation and reflex.
The Amazing Little Taoist was afraid that Blackie would actually suppress Yu Chenjing, so it immediately transmitted its voice. “That woman has an extraordinary status with lots of trump cards. If we really fight her, the entire Moon G.o.ddess Dojo might turn into dust.”
“Don’t worry. I know what to do,” said Blackie.
Yu Chenjing was intimidated, so she didn’t make another move. “Where is Zhang Ruochen, tell him to come out here and meet me now.”
The Amazing Little Taoist said, “I told you that Zhang Ruochen isn’t in the dojo. Why don’t you believe me?”
“How come? I’ve been staying outside the whole time… Was it because of a s.p.a.ce transportation formation?” Yu Chenjing realized what happened.
The Amazing Little Taoist said, “That’s right. Zhang Ruochen has left the dojo through the s.p.a.ce transportation formation.”
“Where is he?” asked Yu Chenjing.
The Amazing Little Taoist said, “I can’t tell you that!”
“Why can’t we?” Blackie glared at the Amazing Little Taoist and transmitted its voice. “Zhang Ruochen left with Nine Heavenly Maiden sneakily. Something major must’ve happened. I already missed the G.o.d-Naming Platform Conference last time, so there’s no way I’m missing this.”
The Amazing Little Taoist said, “But Zhang Ruochen didn’t let us follow him.”
“Which is exactly why we should follow. Aren’t you curious where he’s heading to? If he finds us, we’ll just say we were forced by Thousand Star Maiden to take her here.” Blackie smirked.
The Amazing Little Taoist said, “Do you know where Zhang Ruochen is?”
At ease, Blackie said, “I’m also very well-versed in Way of s.p.a.ce, and I can find out where Zhang Ruochen and Nine Heavenly Maiden were transported to using the forces left in the s.p.a.ce transportation formation. This is nothing to me, of course.”
Blackie stopped the operation of the attack formation in the dojo and smiled. “Let me take to you meet Zhang Ruochen now, your highness.”
…
Tianluo Dojo was at the top of a glacier with steep cliffs surrounding it.
The dojo was established by an ancient G.o.d from Kunlun’s Field. It took Luo Xu, Nine Heavenly Maiden, and other talents from Kunlun’s Field a lot of energy to take it back.
Zhang Ruochen and Nine Heavenly Maiden walked side by side on the mountain road.
Nine Heavenly Maiden’s voice was as sweet and smooth as Saint Lady’s. “We’ll attack Xumi Dojo tomorrow at dawn, but before that, all the monks will talk about the strategies and other issues about that battle in Tianluo Dojo.”
“I don’t mind. You guys can talk,” said Zhang Ruochen.
All the monks from Kunlun’s Field had gathered in Tianluo Dojo already. There were hundreds of them, half of whom were savage beasts.
Kunlun’s Field was ranked two-thousandth-something on the ‘Ten Thousand Fields Merit Rank’, and it got a quota of twenty to enter Truth G.o.dly Palace each month.
Whoos.h.!.+
The door of the palace opened, and snow poured in like feathers.
Zhang Ruochen and Nine Heavenly Maiden walked in with the wind.
After the door was closed again, the wind vanished, leaving nothing but silence in the palace.
Everyone stared at Zhang Ruochen.
Some of them were furious, some of them were apathetic, while some were cheerful.
Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon clenched its fist and hit the table, causing a loud banging sound.
Chi Wansui raised the wine cup with his sole arm, and had a huge sip while the alcohol was spilled, wetting his yellow cape.
However, they weren’t the ones who spoke out first.
Chi Kunlun suddenly stood up, glared at Zhang Ruochen, and asked, “Why is Zhang Ruochen here?”
“That’s right. Why is a monk from Guanghan Field here in our dojo?”
“That’s right. We can kill him without breaking the rules of Truth G.o.dly Palace, can’t we?”
…
Several people spoke out in a peculiar way, and they all held some strong opinions against Zhang Ruochen. There was vague murderous Qi coming out of them.
Nine Heavenly Maiden frowned and said, “I’m the one who invited Zhang Ruochen. He’s going to help us take back Xumi Dojo.”
Nine Heavenly Maiden had a very high status in Kunlun’s Field, not just because of her cultivation, but also because she was the closest to the empress.
The creatures who were talking negatively all shut up as they didn’t want to offend Nine Heavenly Maiden.
However, Chi Kunlun didn’t mind it at all. He said, “Why do you have to invite a dreg from the precious dynasty out of everyone in the universe? We don’t need his help at all. With ‘All Lives Equal’, it’s no difficult job for us to take back Xumi Dojo.”
Encouraged by Chi Kunlun, the monks who didn’t like Zhang Ruochen all echoed what he said.
“That’s right. You didn’t need to invite him at all, your highness. We’re more than strong enough to take back Xumi Dojo.”
“Princess White Li, Wan Zhaoyi, Luo Xu, Li Xian, Xue Wuye and Lidi are all as powerful as, if not better than, Zhang Ruochen, as long as they’re at the same level. We don’t need him at all.”
Everyone in the palace talked pa.s.sionately.
Zhang Ruochen looked to Chi Kunlun and walked toward him.
“Zhang Ruochen…”
Nine Heavenly Maiden whispered his name.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t say a word to her. Instead, he continued toward Chi Kunlun.
Chi Kunlun and the monks around him all stood up, operating their saint Qi in case he suddenly attacked Chi Kunlun.
Zhang Ruochen stared at Chi Kunlun and released his colossal saint might. That eleven-year-old teenager kept s.h.i.+vering, and his eyes kept turning red as he couldn’t stop sweating.
However, he made it through the saint might. He stood firmly without looking scared.
Zhang Ruochen rescinded his saint might, nodded, and sat down in a seat beside Chi Kunlun, not caring how others looked at him.
Zhang Ruochen had mentally prepared himself for the backlash, so he didn’t mind anything they said at all.
If they wanted to curse him, so be it.
