Chapter 1003 Encountering an old friend in a foreign land
The rain has stopped.
The clouds have not dissipated, and the sky is still dark, with a little coolness.
Zhang Ruochen's power soon dissipated, and the Buddha's light gradually became weaker, and soon fell back to the realm of a fourth-level half-saint.
Not only that, a strong sense of weakness swept across the body from the inside out, and the qi sea and the holy energy in the meridians disappeared in an instant.
"Swish."
Zhang Ruochen could no longer continue flying. He slowly descended from mid-air to a wide ancient river with his beautiful stone on his back.
The ancient river was filled with mist and the water flowed smoothly. At first glance, I couldn't see the other side, just like standing by the sea.
Zhang Ruochen's legs were slightly trembling and it was already difficult to support them.
The feeling of fatigue and injuries on his body made him almost fall to the ground.
At this moment, let alone a giant in the holy realm, even a warrior in the extreme realm may defeat him.
Fortunately, the evil saints in the black market did not chase after him, otherwise, it would be difficult for Zhang Ruochen to escape today.
"No Saint Realm powerhouse catches up, let me go! Your condition is very poor. If you don't heal in time, you may leave a dark disease that will be difficult to heal for the rest of your life." Mei Meiren Shi's expression was very focused and said in a whisper, with some concern.
Zhang Ruochen was a little surprised, put the Shi Meiren down and stared at her eyes at close range.
Her eyes were no longer so dim and empty, with a little more human touch, like a living beautiful woman, rather than a human-shaped stone sculpture.
To be precise, as early as when they escaped from the black market, Shi Meiren had some subtle changes and was no longer so dull.
However, Zhang Ruochen was busy dealing with the Demon Cult elder surnamed Qi and the evil saints in the black market, and had no chance to ask.
"Have you regained your will?" Zhang Ruochen showed joy.
The Shi Meiren's eyes were like two bays of water cutting. She stared straight at Zhang Ruochen, shook her head, fell into silence, thinking about something, and as if she was experiencing something, her eyes gradually became a little bit dull.
Zhang Ruochen was worried that she would become a cold and silent beauty again, and immediately said: "I always feel that I have not completely escaped from the crisis. I must continue to rush and escape as far as possible."
Beauty Shi stared at Zhang Ruochen, worried and said, "Your injuries are very serious, it's better to stop and recuperate."
Zhang Ruochen's injuries were indeed very serious, with no trace of blood on his face, like an ordinary person who was terminally ill.
Moreover, because of the power of the third layer of the seal of the relics, the body became particularly weak and could not hold on and fell down.
But Mei Meiren supported him and did not fall to the ground.
Zhang Ruochen immediately took a dead wood pill. Before he could refine it, he suddenly raised his head and looked into the sky in the distance, revealing a solid expression, saying, "That is... the army of the Immortal Blood Clan..."
A bright red color appeared in the sky, and a cloud of blood was rolling in, with a terrifying aura.
There is definitely more than one immortal blood clan, it must be an army, and it is very likely to be coming for the turbulent sword.
Zhang Ruochen was originally planning to summon Xiao Hei and the Elephant-Swallowing Rabbit in the scroll world and take them away, but now it seems that there is no need.
Among the army of the Immortal Blood Clan, there is more than one Holy Realm Blood King.
Xiao Hei and the Elephant-Swallowing Rabbit are among the semi-saints, but compared with the Saint Realm Blood King, it is a hundred and eight thousand miles away.
Even if you hide in the world of the picture scroll, the Holy Realm Blood King can find the Qiankun Divine Wood Picture based on the remaining breath of Zhang Ruochen.
Once the Qiankun Divine Wood Picture falls into the hands of the Immortal Vampire, it will cause even greater disasters.
Zhang Ruochen believes that he has never experienced a desperate situation. No matter how great the danger is, there is always a way to resolve it. However, now he is in a desperate situation.
Zhang Ruochen seemed very calm, smiled, stared at Meiren Shi, and said, "Today, no matter how you die, why don't we do a big deal before we die?"
"What do you mean?" Shi Meiren showed a curious look.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Although your cultivation has been lost, the holy source is still in your body. I can help you with your arms to detonate the holy source and die with those immortal blood clans. The power produced by a sword saint's holy source is really exciting."
A gentle look appeared in the eyes of the beauty Shi, and she nodded slightly and agreed.
However, at this moment, a quiet woman's voice came from the riverside not far away: "Junior Brother Zhang, can you go to the boat to speak?"
Zhang Ruochen looked towards the Gu River and saw a blue wooden boat more than ten feet long docking on the shore.
On the bow of the boat, there was a pretty and elegant woman in white, like a fairy in Lingbo, giving people a very extraordinary feeling.
Zhang Ruochen was both confused and surprised, and said, "Senior Sister Luo, how could you come to the Central Domain?"
The woman on the boat, named Luo Shuihan, was named "Three Demons of the West Courtyard" together with Huang Yanchen and Mu Lingxi.
However, Zhang Ruochen later left the Holy Academy of the East Region and embarked on a different holy path. He had not seen Luo Shuihan for a long time.
I thought they would never have any intersection in their lives, but I didn't expect that they would meet again under such circumstances.
To Zhang Ruochen's surprise, Luo Shuihan's cultivation level had already entered the semi-saint realm and was not left behind.
When he was in the West Courtyard, Luo Shuihan was the best student, and his qualifications were still above Huang Yanchen and Mu Lingxi.
Moreover, like Zhang Ruochen, her physique has been constantly getting stronger and improving, and seems to have infinite potential.
In recent years, the adventures she has received may not be lost to Mu Lingxi and Huang Yanchen. The best proof of entering the semi-saint realm at such a young age.
Luo Shuihan still had a poetic and picturesque temperament and said, "I came for you two, to be precise, it was actually another person on the boat, and I wanted to see you."
"us?"
Zhang Ruochen was really curious. Who was he who actually had an intersection with him and Ling Feiyu?
Zhang Ruochen really wanted to tell Luo Shuihan that an army of immortal blood clans was coming in this direction and should run away immediately.
However, with his current state, he could see the Immortal Vampire Army coming, so would Luo Shuihan not be able to see it?
Why is she still calm?
Could it be...
Zhang Ruochen glanced at the inside of the green wooden boat, and his heart moved, and a bold guess emerged.
Could it be that person on the boat?
Zhang Ruochen and Shi Meiren boarded the blue wooden boat and walked into the cabin under Luo Shuihan's leadership.
In the cabin, there was a young man in his thirties, and an old man who was half white and half black.
On the table in front of them was a scroll of painting, outlined from ink and wash, and it was impossible to tell what was being painted.
The appearance of the handsome man in Qingyi can only be considered medium, but his whole person looks clean and tidy, and even every head is neat.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen and Shi Meiren walk into the cabin, the two stopped talking about the paintings on the table and raised their heads at the same time.
The difference is that the first glance of the Qingyi Xiushi was staring at Zhang Ruochen.
The old man, half white and half black, stared at Mei Meiren at Shi for the first time, showing a very curious look.
The Qingyi Xiushui smiled and said, "I heard Shui Han mention that there was an amazing genius in Yunwu County of Tianmo Ridge. In the Holy Academy of the East Region, I wanted to see you, but I was worried that the Master of Xuanji Academy misunderstood that I wanted to steal his disciples, so I waited for a while. But I didn't expect that after so many things happened, I really met you until today."
Zhang Ruochen had some guesses about the identity of the Qingyi Xiushou, clasped his fists with both hands, bowed slightly, and said, "Greetings to Senior."
The old man also stared at Zhang Ruochen at this moment and said, "No wonder the queen ordered you to be arrested. You are indeed brave and dared to kill two saints of the Demon Sect in a row. If you continue to make trouble, the Kunlun Realm, which is almost overturned, will probably add some unpredictable variables."
It was not until this moment that Zhang Ruochen began to look at the old man who was half white and half black.
The old man looked energetic and looked like a torch. He was probably in his fifties and was not so old.
The most important point is that he actually wears clothes that represent the identity of Confucianism and Taoism.
You should know that Confucianism and Taoism have a close relationship with the court. Many outstanding students of Confucianism and Taoism are civil officials of the court. Those great Confucianism and saints hold high positions and can even enter the Six Ministry and the Cabinet to formulate the national policy of the First Central Empire.
If this person is really a high-ranking official in the court, Zhang Ruochen must be more alert to him.
The old man in Confucian clothes saw Zhang Ruochen showing a vigilant look and was a little displeased. He blew his beard and glared, and shouted: "What are you doing when you are guarding me? I am not a person from the court, I am just a painter."
The Qingyi Xiu stared at Zhang Ruochen and said calmly: "He is indeed not an official of the court and will not attack you. You can sit down first and ignore him."
Before Zhang Ruochen sat down, the old man in Confucian clothes raised his chin and said proudly: "Although I am not an official of the court, one of my disciples is the governor of Tiantai Prefecture. One of my disciples is the second-in-command of my husband, who is the second-in-command of the new subject this year."
Zhang Ruochen frowned, a little curious, how old this old guy is, why is he still showing off in front of a young man? Is it meaningful?
Zhang Ruochen was too lazy to pay attention to him and sat down straight.
The old man in Confucian style saw Zhang Ruochen sitting opposite him and began to sing his beard and stare again. He seemed to think that Zhang Ruochen's status was too low and he was not worthy of being on par with him.
It is a disgrace to be gentle, it is a mess of generations, and it is not etiquette...
If it weren't for the Qingyi Xiushou sitting aside, it might not be possible that the old man in Confucian style had already lifted the table and left.
At this moment, the Qingyi Xiushou stared at the body of the beautiful man Shi, showing a complicated expression, and said, "Prince Ling, in fact, I am here specifically for you this time."
Beauty Shi smiled bitterly and said, "You are here to avenge the revenge of that year, just like her?"
Not far away, Zhang Ruochen showed a curious look. He wanted to know what kind of grudges did the two figures in front of him who represented the two eras of Kunlun Realm have back then?
The old man in Confucian clothes also raised his ears and listened carefully, looking very interested.
The Qingyi Xiu shook her head and said, "I know that she has been holding a grudge against you and venting all her resentment on you. When you fight against the Qingtian Blood Emperor, your mood is already seriously traumatized. When she finds you, she may also use the things from that year to attack your mood, wanting to completely destroy your will, and thus revenge you, and make you pay the price for what you did that year."
He said again: "I came to Zhongyu to stop her and also to tell you. I have never blamed you for what happened back then. You did not have to blame yourself too much."
