Chapter 4031 Broken Promise

Latest website: As the highest-level semi-ancestor in the world, Empress Shiji’s methods and background are definitely far beyond Zhang Ruochen’s imagination. Naturally, there is more than one path for her.

There is no need to take refuge in the Eternal Heaven and the Ming Ancestor Faction. This is the middle strategy she said 60,000 years ago. Chi Huangyue hides her cultivation and no matter how strong the wind is, who can find her?

This is doable.

She is not like current monks like Zhang Ruochen, who have complex ties, many worries, endless causes and effects, and have relatives, friends, masters and disciples all over the world.

If she really wanted to live in seclusion, Empress Shiji could disappear into the universe in an instant.

You can even travel to the far reaches of the universe.

This is what Zhang Ruochen is most worried about.

Without Empress Shiji in charge, the defense line of Dark Abyss will no longer be so indestructible. If something goes wrong in the hell world, how can the sword world be stable?

The only thing that can make Empress Shi Ji miss her now is perhaps Zhang Ruochen's first-grade divine way, which can help her solve the most critical link in the attack on the realm of the ancestor.

The news brought back by Life Bone gave Zhang Ruochen and Empress Shi Ji a huge psychological impact.

No need to guess, it must be Hongmeng Black Dragon awakening!

Who among the other monks can shake the Great Ming Mountain?

Such terrifying power exceeded Zhang Ruochen's expectations.

I thought that after awakening after endless years, he would have a very long recovery period and would not be too powerful, so Zhang Ruochen did not go to intervene, intending to use the Hongmeng Black Dragon to contain the Eternal Heaven and the Mingzu faction.

Now it seems that I am still too optimistic.

Yan Wushen's move was too dangerous, and he couldn't control it at all.

Originally, relying on Zhang Ruochen's relationship with several old clan emperors, he still had some control over the ancient creatures and could maintain the current stability. Now this control is gone.

Next, the universe will surely fall into greater chaos.

Empress Shiji's eyes were cloudy and uncertain, she opened her palms, and the desolate moon floated in her palms, and said: "Zhang Ruochen, give me the five-colored glass cover, and I will give the desolate moon to you now. Otherwise, I can only go far away and stay in the wilderness for the time being. Avoid the sharp edge. When Refining Desolate Moon returns, I think I will be able to compete even if I face the First Ancestor."

"My Majesty, do you really think that I can use Luanyue to get endless benefits from the Abyss of Darkness? Why don't you come with me personally and all the benefits you get go to your Majesty?" Zhang Ruochen said.

When Empress Shiji thought about what Ming Gu had just said about the Victory Crown, the Underworld Seal, and the Divine Source of the Ancestor, her heart was still moved even at her level.

The most important thing is that she doesn't believe that Zhang Ruochen will support the ancient creatures without seeking benefits after learning about the "collapse of Da Ming Mountain".

She smiled slightly and asked tentatively: "It is unknown whether the Hongmeng Black Dragon is an enemy or a friend. Do you dare to go to the Abyss of Darkness?"

When Zhang Ruochen saw Empress Shi Ji's smile reappearing, he knew there was something going on and said, "I didn't dare to go at first, but if I have empress Shi Ji with me, with the strength of you and me, where in the world can we not go?"

"You still dare to go to the Abyss of Darkness?"

Minggu was shocked, thinking that these two people were crazy, and said: "Wait a minute...what does Hongmeng Black Dragon mean? This is a creature that only exists in legends!"

Zhang Ruochen cast a contemptuous look at Ming Gu.

After all, he is also an extremely expert. After staying in Da Ming Mountain for so many years, he was completely kept in the dark by the Immortal Musician.

What has he been doing all these years?

Closed-door practice?

I haven't seen anyone reach the semi-ancestral level in cultivation.

Minggu stayed behind at the Liuli Temple, while Zhang Ruochen and Empress Shiji headed to the Abyss of Darkness.

Of course, it was impossible for Zhang Ruochen to really enter the Dark Abyss. When he arrived at Baling outside the Dark Abyss, he found an Infinite Realm royal monk from the Yuandao Clan and asked him to send a message to Yuan Sheng.

Baling is the territory of the Jin clan. Together with the Guangyan River surrounding the entrance to the Dark Abyss, it forms the front line for the twelve ancient clans to attack the upper world.

It was inconvenient for Empress Shi Ji to show up, so she hid in a space near Zhang Ruochen and accompanied him.

"It's better to take this opportunity to interrupt Baling, destroy the Guangyan River, and retake the ancient and abandoned city to take the initiative in the next dilemma." Empress Shiji said.

Zhang Ruochen said: "Does the empress want to seize the material contained in Baling and Guangyan River and attack the boundless ancestor realm?"

"If you want to reach the end, you may have a chance by refining and absorbing the entire Dark Abyss. But in fact, if you want to shake the ancient and ruined city, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky." Empress Shiji said.

It was obvious that Empress Shiji had thought of reclaiming the ancient and abandoned city.

In history, there are definitely many monks who have had this thought. But they all turned into bones and loess, but the ancient and abandoned city still existed.

The difficulty of shaking the ancient ruined city is probably more difficult than destroying the Great Ming Mountain.

Sixty thousand years ago, the four old clan kings of gold, water, fire, and earth came forward to prevent the twelve clans from attacking the defense line of the Dark Abyss. At the same time, they seized the power from the Kagura Master and completely took over Baling and Guangyan River. , ancient and abandoned city.

Zhang Ruochen visited the Jin tribe and met the old king of the Jin tribe again under the "Thousand Gold Purple Peak Tree", the Jin tribe's holy land.

The old king of the Jin clan was naturally very happy, with a smile on his golden face. After some greetings, he asked: "Di Chen should have resolved the consciousness curse of the old king Zhenyi and the old king of the Totem clan, right? I wonder if they are now How is it?"

Zhang Ruochen said: "The curse of consciousness on the True One Elder Clan Emperor and the Totem Elder Clan Emperor must have been reinforced by the Corpse Nightmare, making it extremely difficult to resolve."

This is a fact!

However, Zhang Ruochen did not say the second half of the sentence - even so, the consciousness curse of Zhenyi Old Clan Emperor and Totem Old Clan Emperor had been completely lifted.

Retreat in the sword world to heal your wounded consciousness.

It was impossible for Zhang Ruochen to let them return to the Abyss of Darkness now.

In that case, the strength of the Dark Abyss will be too strong and it may attack the Hell Realm at any time.

The old king of the Jin clan understood the horror of the curse of consciousness and the corpse nightmare, so he was not suspicious of anything, and his mood became much heavier.

Because the other old clan kings have been with the Corpse Nightmare for a longer time, it will be more difficult to resolve the curse of consciousness in the future.

"Di Chen's visit to Baling should be more than just a visit to the Jin clan, right?" said the emperor of the Jin clan.

Zhang Ruochen said: "The Great Ming Mountain collapsed, the Black River rose to the sky, and the earth burst into Ming flames. Does the old clan emperor know what happened?"

The old king of the Jin clan guessed that Zhang Ruochen came for this matter, shook his head slightly and said: "The incident happened suddenly, and I haven't received the exact news yet. If it weren't for the fact that someone must guard Baling, I would have rushed back to the darkness myself. The abyss."

"If Di Chen is not in a hurry, you can wait a moment. The old emperor of the Fire Tribe has rushed to the Taikoo Plain to investigate. It won't be long before there is news to me."

Zhang Ruochen knew from the expression of the old king of the Jin clan that this old guy knew the truth.

Otherwise, how could he be so calm when such an earth-shattering event as the collapse of Da Ming Mountain occurred?

And the old emperor of the Fire Tribe really went to the Taikoo Plain?

It is impossible for only one Heavenly Lord-level person to stay in Baling and Guangyan River.

The old king of the Jin clan said this, most likely to test Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen was indeed kind to them, but in their eyes, in the Netherworld Dungeon, in the battle 60,000 years ago, the favor had been repaid.

We may still have friendship now, but after all, we belong to different camps and have historical hatred. We are likely to meet in war in the future. How can we not be on guard?

Isn't this the case with Zhang Ruochen?

The higher the cultivation level, the greater the power one has, and it becomes difficult to have sincere friendship.

Without waiting too long, Xian Musician and Yuan Sheng rushed to Baling.

The old king of the Jin clan did not show up because he was interested.

Many years later, when they met again, Yuan Sheng's cultivation had greatly improved, and his youthfulness had completely faded away. He was full of royal demeanor, calm and profound, but he also had a sense of strangeness.

No one is static.

Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "Congratulations, congratulations, from today on, ancient creatures will no longer have to live in the shadow of the Hades."

The immortal musician wore a veil, with divine light and mist flowing around his delicate body, and said, "It seems that Chi Kunlun has told you everything."

Zhang Ruochen neither admitted nor denied, saying: "Where is the thing I want?"

The immortal musician raised his hand slightly, and from the space behind him, a gold-like victory crown flew out.

Zhang Ruochen stretched out his hand to take it.

However, the immortal musician shook his head and said, "Where is Huang Yue?"

Zhang Ruochen still had a smile on his face and said: "Among the conditions negotiated 110,000 years ago, Huang Yue was not included. At the beginning, the three conditions I promised to Master Xian Musician have been fulfilled one by one. On the other hand, what Master Xian Musician promised me at that time Three conditions, but they keep going back on their word.”

"At the beginning, my third condition was that before the hidden dangers in the universe were cleared, you must prevent the twelve ancient tribes from launching a full-scale war against the hell world. But 60,000 years ago... If I remember correctly, the Emperor of the Yuan Clan also Did you participate in the war?"

Yuan Sheng avoided Zhang Ruochen's gaze and wanted to argue, but he didn't know how to argue.

"This matter has nothing to do with the Emperor of the Yuan Clan. I am the one who agreed to your terms, not her. So the matter of breaking the promise has nothing to do with her." Xian Music Master said.

Zhang Ruochen said: "Do you admit that you broke your promise?"

"I had a last resort. It was a critical moment to awaken the ancestors of the Hongmeng clan. I had to divert the attention of the monks from the Mingzu faction in the Abyss of Darkness to the war. The Emperor of the Yuan clan was following my orders, and you don't need to blame him. She." Xian Musician said.

Empress Shi Ji's voice rang in Zhang Ruochen's ears: "You actually believe that there is such a thing as a promise in the world? I have overestimated you."

"Of course I believe that those who keep their promises will never be broken."

Zhang Ruochen continued: "Then Master Xian still remembers that his second promise at that time was to suppress the old emperor of Yuandao and give me the victory crown? There are no other conditions."

"What if I break my promise again?" Xian Musician asked.

Yuan Sheng didn't know that there was such a promise between Xian Music Master and Zhang Ruochen, and he felt a strong sense of guilt in his heart, saying: "Master Xian Music Master, Di Chen is a friend of the twelve ancient clans, and the consciousness curses of the four old clan emperors are all The old emperor Zhenyi and the old emperor Totem who he resolved are still in the sword world."

"Sixty thousand years ago, we were forced to do so. But now, I feel that we must never break our promises to our friends again."

Yuan Sheng was able to stand up at this time, which made Zhang Ruochen feel more relieved when he was extremely disappointed.

He said: "Yuan Sheng, since you have become the emperor of a clan, you must learn the methods of the Xian Music Master. In the face of absolute interests, promises are worthless. At the beginning, I was worried that the Xian Music Master alone could not deal with the old clan emperor of Yuandao and gave up his life. Gu stayed in the abyss of darkness to help her. But you see, I regard her as a friend, but she only regards me as a tool to be used."

The Immortal Musician's voice was as sweet as the sound of nature, and he said: "Despite Di Chen's sarcasm, for the re-emergence of the twelve ancient tribes, and for the ancient creatures to get out of the darkness and see the light again, I will do whatever it takes, or I will bear all the infamy. Now we can Are you continuing to discuss the deal?"

No matter how strong Yuan Sheng's state of mind has been through experience, his face is slightly pale at this moment.

She knew that from this moment on, Zhang Ruochen and Xian Musician had completely broken up. Even if they still cooperated for mutual benefit, they would only use each other and could not become true friends.

"Pah! Pah! Pah..."

Empress Shiji clapped her hands in the field space around Zhang Ruochen and said: "It's wonderful. Being able to see such a good show is not a waste of time. Zhang Ruochen, you now know that I am among the top experts. , how pure and flawless is it?”

In fact, Zhang Ruochen had already anticipated today's scene as early as 60,000 years ago, when Chi Kunlun brought him the words of the Xian Music Master.

This is also the reason why Zhang Ruochen invited Empress Shi Ji over!

There was no longer any smile on Zhang Ruochen's face, and he said: "Master Xianmusi has a mental power of the 93rd level, right? With the current distance between us, if I make a move, can Master Xianmusician block it?"

"In other places, if Di Chen wanted to seize the victory crown, I really wouldn't have much confidence in getting away. But, this is Baling, the holy land of the Jin clan."

The immortal musician's hand flicked the strings of the pipa, causing ripples of sound waves to spread out.

On the ground, dazzling golden brilliance shot out, and the inside of each one was densely packed with formation inscriptions.

The Thousand Gold Purple Peak Tree is a collection of thousands of metals, resembling a mountain peak and a sacred tree, possessing life. As it breathes in and out, the energy of heaven and earth in the entire Baling gathers towards the Immortal Musician.

The old king of the Jin clan looked in the direction of the Qianjin Zifeng tree, let out a long sigh, and then sent out a series of spiritual thoughts to summon the army of the twelve clans stationed in Baling.

Zhang Ruochen and the Immortal Musician looked at each other and said, "Do you want to take action? The Hongmeng Black Dragon has awakened, and the ancient creatures have a backer, so they can be unscrupulous and have no fear anymore?"

"Whether Di Chen believes it or not, I have great admiration and gratitude for you in my heart, and I am absolutely unwilling to do anything with you. However, Desolate Moon is very important to the ancestors of Hongmeng. Only with it can the ancestors have a chance to compete with the Ming Ancestor. High or low.”

The Immortal Musician gave a slight salute to Zhang Ruochen and said: "Exchange the crown of victory for Huang Yue, and everyone shakes hands and makes peace. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? With the ancestors of Hongmeng fighting against the Ancestor of the Underworld and the Eternal Heaven, the pressure on Di Chen and the Sword World will naturally be reduced. Much more.”

"Can a mere domineering mountain deal with me?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

The Xian Musician said: "Starting a war in Baling will not do any good to Di Chen or the ancient creatures. Win-win or lose-lose, Di Chen should know how to choose."

Empress Shi Ji had already smiled so brightly that she couldn't stay any longer. She walked out of the space, surrounded by light and rain, and said: "Zhang Ruochen gave Huang Yue to me a long time ago. It's not that he doesn't agree to you, it's because he can't be with you." trade."

"Who are you……"

Master Xian Music felt the terrifying aura of Empress Shi Ji, his eyes changed, and he immediately turned into a light shuttle and retreated.

"Uh-huh!"

Zhang Ruochen waved his sleeves, scattering the formation inscriptions covering his body, breaking through the space barrier, and appeared in front of the Xian Musician in a flash.
