God Emperor - Chapter 919

Chapter 919: 919

“It seems that the Ministry of War is using all their manpower and resources in the fight against the Vampires,” Zhang Ruochen said . “I can meet their people even in this remote temple . ”

Large numbers of Vampires were gathered in the Yuan Mansion . This naturally made the Ministry of War call for all their soldiers and generals . The free soldiers were all sent out to patrol the 36 counties .

Some of the soldiers looked for information and collected intelligence . Some others set up bases in the areas surrounding the Guardians of the Prison . Once there were signs of the Immortal Vampires, they would send news to the main camp in the Yuan Mansion .

The four soldiers living next to Zhang Ruochen had come to set up a base . They chanced upon Sikong Zen Temple .

Everything about the Sikong Zen Temple was strange, so this naturally attracted their attention . Plus, the temple even had Emperor Buddha’s statue .

The Emperor Buddha was the Empress’ enemy . Wasn’t worshipping him disrespecting the Empress?

Even if this temple had nothing to do with the Vampires, it still had to be destroyed . Of course, it wasn’t a small accomplishment to discover this cult-like temple .

Zhang Ruochen was also wanted by the Ministry of War . Naturally, he couldn’t interact with them . That would lead to unnecessary troubles .

“Let’s go! This place is truly strange . It’s not suitable to hide in . ”

As soon as Zhang Ruochen opened the door, the neighboring room also opened with a creak . Two middle-aged men walked out . They were armored and had black metal badges hanging at their waists . They were clearly from the Ministry of War .

Zhao Yue and Pu Yuelin glanced at Zhang Ruochen but didn’t think much about him . They thought he was a regular guest .

Zhang Ruochen strolled casually with his hands behind his back and started walking out of the temple .

Pu Yuelin was the younger of the two . He looked up again and stared at Zhang Ruochen’s back with suspicion . “Second Brother, look at that guy . Does he look familiar? He looks a bit like Zhang Ruochen, the criminal wanted by the Ministry of War . ”

“Really?”

Zhao Yue picked up the badge at his waist and tapped it . Black light instantly shone from the surface .

Whoosh .

Various images flew out of the black light . One of them was Zhang Ruochen . Looking at the image, Zhao Yue and Pu Yuelin exchanged glances . They were both shocked .

Could it really be Zhang Ruochen?

So many strong cultivators were hidden inside this remote and ancient temple . First, there was a white-haired woman who could kill with the wave of her hand . Next, there was a wanted criminal with a horrible reputation .

Yes, to the soldiers of the Ministry of War, Zhang Ruochen indeed had an evil reputation . After all, countless Kings had died under his sword .

This man had once split Ziyong Pass with one sword and then escaped easily, humiliating all the soldiers from the Ministry of War .

“If he really is Zhang Ruochen, we’re not his match at all,” Zhao Yue said . “However, we can’t let him escape either . Finding Zhang Ruochen’s traces is an accomplishment too . It’s much bigger than finding this temple . ”

“Let’s pretend we don’t know him,” Pu Yuelin said . “We’ll sneak up on him . I wonder why he came to the Sikong Zen Temple . ”

“Yes . The strong cultivators of the Ministry of War should hurry over soon . Zhang Ruochen won’t be able to escape at that time . ”

Even though they’d found Zhang Ruochen, Zhao Yue and Pu Yuelin didn’t dare to arrest him . With their cultivations, they weren’t even enough for appetizers .

The two of them followed Zhang Ruochen out of the Sikong Zen Temple .

“Fourth Brother, I think Zhang Ruochen has already discovered us . He should be leaving now . ”

Zhao Yue was worried . It had been so hard to find signs of Zhang Ruochen, but now he had to watch him escape . Would this great accomplishment pass him by?

Just as Zhao Yue and Pu Yuelin were debating whether they should stop Zhang Ruochen or not, a huge black beastly figure flew over . It appeared above the temple . The huge black shadow was like a dark cloud . It pressed down, not stopping until it was a few hundred feet from the ground .

Looking up, one could see a huge winged dragon . It was around 80 meters long and covered entirely with scales . Its huge head was like a lion’s . This was a sixth level lower beast . It could counter a lower level Half-Saint, spout ghostly fire, and easily turn a city into a sea of fire .

There was a tall man standing on the winged dragon . He wore nine layers of red armor and held a long halberd . He seemed very majestic .

Seeing the man, Zhao Yue and Pu Yuelin were both overjoyed . They immediately bowed, saying, “King Lixian, we have a great discovery . ”

King Lixian huffed coldly . “Isn’t it just an evil temple? How is this a great discovery?” Before Zhao Yue and Pu Yuelin could speak, King Lixian continued, “I came here to notify you two that a while earlier, the Vampires invaded the Pluto Sword Tomb and massacred the people . ”

“It is an emergency . The Little Saint God and lord of the Yuan Mansion have already messaged the State of Tiantai and Central Emperor City . We will reform an army and fight back in the Pluto Sword Tomb with all our might . ”

“The soldiers in Fairy Forest County and Xincang County have already notified us that they can arrive at Guandu by noon tomorrow . You two hurry there immediately and take them to the northwest of the Pluto Sword Tomb, close to Golden Cloud Valley, and wait for further orders . ”

With that, King Lixian grabbed the chains on the winged dragon and prepared to leave immediately . Zhao Yue and Pu Yuelin were shocked by his news . The Guardians of the Prison, Ministry of War, and Martial Market Bank had united, but they still couldn’t stop the Immortal Vampires from taking the Pluto Sword Tomb .

Just how terrifying were the Immortal Vampires?

Of course, no matter how horrifying the Immortal Vampires were, Zhang Ruochen was also a wanted criminal of the imperial court . They couldn’t let him escape .

“Lord, there’s something else…Zhang Ruochen, the wanted criminal, is also in this temple,” Zhao Yue said fearfully, stealing a glance at where Zhang Ruochen lived .

Hearing this, King Lixian, who’d been about to leave, stopped immediately . Two 30-foot-long beams of fire surged from his eyes and scanned the Sikong Zen Temple . His gaze immediately focused on the air and landed on Zhang Ruochen .

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and smiled . He glanced at Zhao Yue and Pu Yuelin in the back .

The two were frightened . They immediately retreated, stumbling back into the Sikong Zen Temple . They clearly feared Zhang Ruochen . He didn’t give them a hard time though . This was part of their duties . With his current cultivation, he had no reason to fight two Monks in the Fish-Dragon Realm either .

Soon after, Zhang Ruochen looked back at King Lixian . He smiled, revealing his white teeth . “I advise you to hurry back and continue mustering soldiers to defeat the Vampires instead of wasting time on me . ”

“Ha, really? What if I insist on arresting you?” King Lixian’s aura grew stronger .

All the Spiritual Qi within a thousand miles gathered toward him . A huge black saintly image, hundreds of feet tall, appeared behind him . One could vaguely see crackles of electricity streaking inside the shadows . The entire mountain trembled .

This King Lixian was already in the seventh level of the Half-Saint Realm . No wonder he was so confident in capturing Zhang Ruochen .

However, Zhang Ruochen furrowed his brow . After all, the Second Vampire Prince was pursuing him . King Lixian was making such a big commotion . Wouldn’t it be even more troublesome if the Second Prince was lured over?

“What, what are you all doing? This is a peaceful Buddhist refuge . How can you engage in violence?”

Sikong One’s fat body “rolled” out of the Sikong Zen Temple like a white leather ball .

“Fat monk, this has nothing to do with you . Get out . ” King Lixian waved his hand . Powerful Holy Qi flooded from his hands . It transformed into a gale of wind that struck Sikong One .

He hadn’t thought about being merciful against an evil temple . The power in this strike was enough to kill a first level Half-Saint .

“Must you be so hard on a common man?”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes darkened . He also struck with a palm print . Dazzling golden light radiated from his hands . Next, a huge golden dragon flew out, shattering King Lixian’s palm power .

King Lixian took out his Killing Token . He waved it forward, piercing the golden dragon, transforming it into specks of golden mist .

“Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm . ”

Sikong One muttered something and glanced at Zhang Ruochen in shock . However, his voice was very soft . Only he could hear it .

After that, Sikong One screamed like a dying pig, “Murderer! Master, someone wants to kill me . So scared…Amitabha…” As he yelled, he ran back into the Sikong Zen Temple . He slammed the gate shut .

Just as Sikong One burst into the temple, a yellowed window was propped up by a piece of bamboo . It was from a second-floor room deep inside the temple .

An elegant white-haired woman sat inside the window . She had a light temperament . The surrounding windows, buildings, and pagodas were like a beautiful painting .

Her eyes were like two black gems and her skin was white like porcelain, but her lips were bright red . She looked otherworldly, like one of the nine goddesses .

“Cousin, is it really you?”

Kong Lanyou’s eyes fell upon Zhang Ruochen outside the temple . Her gaze carried suspicion, reminiscing, anticipation, and some other feelings .

Zhang Ruochen naturally didn’t know Kong Lanyou was staring at him . At the moment, he was confronting King Lixian . A huge battle was imminent .
