In the chariot.
Zhang Ruochen pressed his hands together and retrieved his spiritual power. He looked at Murong Yue, and said, “There’s a person who started following us after we left the Black Market Excellence Hall. You should know who that is?”
Murong Yue lowered her head and bit her lip, “Don’t worry about him, Your Highness. His target is me, not you.”
“That’s not true.”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “Now that we’ve been so close, he must misunderstand, mustn’t he?”
“Does Your Highness know about him?” Murong Yue was a little surprised.
“The rising star of the Ministry of War, Bu Qianfan. If it wasn’t him, who else could it be? This man is very infatuated with you. Looks like you’ve really become a devil to his mind,” said Zhang Ruochen.
Sikong Two sat beside them, twirling his beads. He sighed, “Amitabha. Heroes always find it hard to let go of the beauties.”
Pat!
Sikong One slammed on Sikong Two’s bold head, and scolded, “It’s none of your business!”
Murong Yue fell into silence, for she knew that the Ministry of War was an enemy to the Black Market Excellence Hall, and the Sacred Sect.
The appearance of Bu Qianfan would surely bring trouble to the Crown Prince.
Murong Yue put on a determined look, and she said, “Please be assured, Your Highness. I will work this out. If he dared to ask more about you, or threaten your safety, I will kill him myself when it is needed.”
Zhang Ruochen sighed slightly and said nothing. Nobody could help with others’ love affairs. Besides, he couldn’t handle his love affairs well. How could he interfere with others’?
Three military armored men were following the Blood Soul Chariot.
The young man in the front, who had the stubble, and rode on a savage elephant in gold armors, looked extremely heroic.
He was Bu Qianfan.
The soldier standing to the left of Bu Qianfan pressed on his blade, and said in a low voice, “My lord, let me deal with the boy for you.”
“He’s seeking his own death to come so close to Miss Murong.” The other soldier put on a murderous look.
Bu Qianfan gave a complicated look to the chariot. He said, “But you two can’t beat him.”
“We are generals of the Ministry of War. As long as we use the tokens of the Ministry of War, would he dare to rebel?” said the soldier with a scar from a sword on his face.
Bu Qianfan shook his head. “The tokens of the Ministry of War have influence on others, but not him. He can ride the Blood Soul Chariot at such a young age, so he must be the new Son of Deity of the Blood God Sect.”
“He’s Gu Linfeng?”
Both soldiers were astonished and scared.
The story of Gu Linfeng had been heard all over Tiantai State, and even the Central Region in the past half month.
Gu Linfeng had made his name overnight.
It was said that he had won against Hai Lingyin and Wei Longxing during the fight for becoming the new Son of Deity.
Hai Lingyin and Wei Longxing were not ordinary people.
It was also said that Gu Linfeng had even defeated the First Disciple of the Blood God of his own state, and became the No.1 talent in 100,000 years’ history of the Blood God Sect.
Even if the sayings were not completely reliable, Zhang Ruochen’s becoming the new Son of Deity showed that he was tough.
The soldier with the scar said ruthlessly, “He’s the Son of Deity. And so what? He dared to touch my lord’s woman, we wouldn’t let him get away.”
Bu Qianfan gave him a cold stare. “You’d better not meddle with the thing between Miss Murong and me. If you had nothing to do, you could look into the ins and outs of Gu Linfeng. Better check his character and conduct.”
“Be assured, my lord. It won’t be hard for us to find out.”
“I’m going to ask for information about Gu Linfeng in the Ministry of War now.”
After the two soldiers left, Bu Qianfan rode on the savage elephant and went on following the chariot.
He worried about Murong Yue, so he was going to see what kind of person Gu Linfeng was. Was he good enough for Murong Yue?
The biggest shop of the Demonic Sect in the Black Market was called the Pearl Light Pavilion.
The auction ranked No.3 in the Tiantai State was located here.
Although it was just one shop, it had a long history, which attracted many powerful figures of the Demonic Sect. Therefore, even saints would have to pull back in the Pearl Light Pavilion.
Yan Jinyao was a deacon of the Pearl Light Pavilion who was in charge of receiving VIPs for tonight’s auction. The auction of the Moon Worship Demonic Sect was only held once a month. It mustn’t go wrong.
He had to report and planned ahead as soon as VIPs appeared.
At the time, noise was heard outside the gate.
Yan Jinyao walked outside quickly and saw a Gold Wing Thunder Eagle about the size of a hill coming from afar. It stopped outside the gate of the Pearl Light Pavilion.
“VIPs from the Blood God Sect.”
Yan Jinyao immediately approached the chariot and bowed with hands folded. He smiled, “Which elders of the Blood God Sect have come to the Pearl Light Pavilion?”
A young man and a young woman stepped out of the chariot.
The man was handsome and elegant. The woman was also extremely beautiful.
Although it was the first time that Yan Jinyao met Gu Linfeng, he recognized his identity immediately. He smiled kindly, “The Son of Deity, Your Highness and the Young Master of Black Market Excellence Hall. Please, please follow me.”
Murong Yue walked to him and smiled. “Yan, is the thing that I want surely going to show up at the auction tonight?”
“Be assured, Young Master Murong. It is for sure, ” said Yan Jinyao.
Apparently, Yan Jinyao and Murong Yue had known each other before. They exchanged words shortly to confirm that the saint soul of the Green Armor Hunchbacked Elephant was going to be sold tonight.
Yan Jinyao welcomed Zhang Ruochen and Murong Yue into the Pearl Light Pavilion personally. As for Sikong One and Sikong Two, they didn’t have such a treatment, and only had to follow them quietly.
They looked around and were curious about everything in the Pearl Light Pavilion.
Then Sikong One widened his eyes and cried, “The lady is really…as beautiful as a Bodhisattva…!”
Murong heard the cry of Sikong One, and stopped at once to give a stare at him. “Monk, no noise here! Otherwise, you will have to leave.”
Sikong One shook his head, and pointed to a lake nearby. “I didn’t talk nonsense. She really looks like a Bodhisattva coming to life.”
They all looked to the place pointed to by Sikong One.
Many monks could be seen gathering at the lakeside nearby. They were in heated discussion with many exclamations.
There was a high plateform at the center of the crowd.
A woman in white sat on the platform. She was tall and slender. Her breasts and bottom were also in good shape. And her long legs were white and round.
Her face was even more incomparably delicate and flawless. She sat at the lake quietly like the virgin in the paintings, looking like a fairy.
No wonder Sikong One called her the Bodhisattva. Such a beauty didn’t seem to have come from the human world.
“There should be such a beautiful woman in this world…who is she?” Even Murong Yue felt inferior to the beauty of the woman in white.
Yan Jinyao laughed, “She has been brought back by an elder from the Yuan Mansion. She’s a just common person who has no cultivation.”
“But her beauty is surely extraordinary and valuable. So the elder has put her in the Pearl Light Pavilion.”
“She has attracted many visitors to the Pearl Light Pavilion lately. Some even throw saint rocks to win her smile. But she never smiles, and doesn’t even say a word.”
Murong Yue said, “Maybe she’s dumb?”
“Who knows? Anyway, after she has attracted enough attention of the VIPs, she will be sent on to the auction by the Pearl Light Pavilion. With her beauty and virginity, she will sell at a good price.”
Zhang Ruochen stared at the woman in white and was shocked, as if he had met unbelievable things.
Then he said in a cold voice, “How could you treat her like that!”
Yan Jinyao thought that Zhang Ruochen had also been attracted to the woman, and laughed, “All humans and objects have prices in the Pearl Light Pavilion. It’s our duty to maximize their prices.”
“Do you know who she is? Do you really believe that the Pearl Light Pavilion can weigh her price?”
Zhang Ruochen’s face was extremely cold. The Qi of coldness shuddered Yan Jinyao.
Murong Yue never saw Zhang Ruochen like this before, and sensed that something went wrong. She asked immediately, “Lord Gu, what’s wrong?”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t say anything. He crossed the sky over dozens of meters like a flash. He landed on the platform at the lakeside and looked at the woman.
She was truly as beautiful as a fairy. But her eyes were empty and without any expression, as if she had lost her soul.
Nobody knew her for they had never met her true face.
But Zhang Ruochen did. So he knew that she was the Sword Saint, Ling Feiyu, one of the Palace Rulers of the Demonic Sect, who had gone missing for the past two months.
“Why are you here? What have you been through?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Ling Feiyu remained sitting there and only looked up slightly. She gave a look to the stranger.
But her eyes were still empty.
“Could it be that her saint soul was hurt by the Blood Emperor Qingtian?”
Zhang Ruochen reached out one hand at once to grasp the right wrist of Ling Feiyu. He split a strand of Holy Qi to pour into her body.
Ling Feiyu didn’t resist or say any words. She was just like a stone statue.
But the monks under the platform were all furious.
“Who’s this boy? He would dare to take the hand of the stone beauty!? I will chop him!”
A young man at the Second Change of the Fish-Dragon Realm took out a broadsword and flew on the platform. He chopped toward Zhang Ruochen.
Zoom.
Murong Yue landed on the platform first like a shadow. She waved her arm and used a strand of Holy Qi to throw the young man off with blood coming out of his mouth.
“How dare you hurt the young master of the Sky Ghost Sect! You want to die?”
Four men at the level of the Ninth Change of the Fish-Dragon Realm in green rushed out. They had weapons in their hands and rushed onto the platform with murderous looks.
Murong Yue took out the token of the Black Market Excellence Hall and held it in hand. “The Sky Ghost Sect dares to behave like this in front of me, the young master?”
The four monks were shocked by the token in Murong Yue’s hand. They bowed to apologize, and lifted the young master of the Sky Ghost Sect to escape the Pearl Light Pavilion.
Other monks under the platform shut their mouths, for they dared not pick fights with the Black Market Excellence Hall.
But they were clear that even the Black Market Excellence Hall couldn’t take the stone beauty away.
Not only because this was a shop of the Moon Worship Demonic Sect.
Moreover, another figure who was not inferior to the young master of the Moon Worship Demonic Sect had already taken a fancy to the stone beauty.
