Chapter 2428: A Visit From God

irst, she was wondering why Zhang Ruochen had asked her to look for the person personally?

Second, she was wondering how Zhang Ruochen knew that a woman from Kunlun’s field had come to Infernal Court? Could there be cultivators from Kunlun’s field hiding in Infernal Court?

Third, she was wondering if this matter would attract the attention of the god and bring disaster to the Xias.

After a while, Lord Xia Yu was very cautious. She asked telepathically, “Who is it?”

“Mu Lingxi, the disciple of Moon Goddess,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Lord Xia Yu couldn’t help but ask, “How did you know she came to Infernal Court?”

Zhang Ruochen took out Mu Lingxi’s Bracelet of Dimension and said, “Do you know why I taught Warlord Mara a lesson on Arena of Life and Death? It’s because of this Bracelet of Dimension. It’s something I gave to Mu Lingxi.”

Lord Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, “So you deduced that Mu Lingxi had come to Infernal Court through this bracelet?”

Zhang Ruochen nodded.

Lord Xia Yu had wanted to ask why Mu Lingxi had come to Infernal Court.

But after thinking about it carefully, she thought it was stupid to ask this question, so she shut her mouth.

With Zhang Ruochen’s current status and identity, it was not difficult for him to protect Mu Lingxi in Infernal Court. Unless Mu Lingxi was too unlucky and fell into the hands of Zhang Ruochen’s enemies.

Lord Xia Yu had looked up Zhang Ruochen’s information, so she knew who Mu Lingxi was. She could be said to be Zhang Ruochen’s number one confidante in Celestial Court. Since Zhang Ruochen had entrusted this matter to her, she naturally had to take it seriously. She won’t let anyone know about it.

Lord Xia Yu said, “You joined Infernal Court and killed countless Celestial Captives, including Supreme Saint Manjian. Mu Lingxi must have been ostracized by all sides. Of course, she can’t continue to stay in Guanghan. It’s understandable that she came to Infernal Court to seek refuge with you. However, if you can guess that Mu Lingxi came to Infernal Court, would Warlord Mara guess it too?”

“With your strength, are you afraid of him?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

A smile appeared on Lord Xia Yu’s face. She said, “In your opinion, which path will Mu Lingxi take to come to Infernal Court?”

Zhang Ruochen had analyzed it many times, he said, “The closest place between Kunlun’s field and milky way of styx of Infernal Court is about a light-year away. It’s about 20 trillion miles away. No one can cross it except for the gods. Therefore, you could firstly rule out the possibility of her crossing the milky way.”

The length of milky way of styx, which was the size of the entire Infernal Court, was more than 100,000 light-years.

The distance of one light-year was actually very close. It could be said that Kunlun’s field and Infernal Court were very close to each other. (the diameter of the milky way was about 100,000 light-years. It was one of the hundred billions of galaxies in the known universe, some of which could be millions of light-years in diameter. Therefore, the length of Infernal Court is 100,000 light-years. In the universe, it is not too big.)

If it were not for the array left by Lord of Nephilim Island, Kunlun’s field and the surrounding starry sky would have been swallowed and assimilated by milky way of styx.

Zhang Ruochen continued, “The major teleportation arrays and spatial wormholes in Kunlun’s Field and Infernal Court are all heavily guarded by Infernal Court. It should be difficult for Mu Lingxi to muddle through. Therefore, it can be ruled out too.

“I think the biggest possibility is that she came by Sanzu River.

“There is a special space gap in Kunlun’s field that is connected to Sanzu River in Infernal Court. Plus, Sanzu River is so vast that Infernal Court can’t completely guard it. It’s the easiest place to enter Infernal Court.”

After listening to Zhang Ruochen’s analysis, Lord Xia Yu shook her head, “Sanzu River is controlled by Ghost, Corpusian, and Bone clan. It is too dangerous to go there. Moreover, it is in the territory of the three middle clans. It is still infinitely far to reach Immortal Vampires from Sanzu River. If she doesn’t go through teleportation arrays and spatial wormholes, she may never reach the territory of Immortal Vampires.”

Zhang Ruochen was a little surprised. He asked, “Which path do you think she will take?”

Lord Xia Yu said, “For the cultivators of Kunlun’s field, maybe Sanzu River is the only gap. But for the cultivators of Celestial Court, there are many ways to enter Infernal Court.

“Infernal Court is too big. The core area controlled by the ten clans is less than half of milky way of styx. The wider starry sky is in a chaotic area where small clans, small forces, and small tribes fight each other. It is also a place where the big forces of the ten clans fight in secret. The conflict of interests is very fierce, and there are many cultivators of Celestial Court mixed in.

“Mu Lingxi wanted to come to Infernal Court to find you. Her destination must be the Dominion of Bloodysky Clan.

“If I were her, the first step would be to reach the edge of Infernal Court first.

“The second step is to spend Godstones and go through the dark forces: sneak into the Bloodysky Clan’s Dominion through the teleportation array that is not supervised by the ten clans, Fane of Destiny, and Fane of Darkness.”

“There are many dark forces at the edge of Infernal Court. The more famous ones are Av?ci Pavilion, Pneuma Hall, League of Ourang Celeste, and the Enchanteur Chamber. They are known as the ten giants of Infernal Court’s Dark World. Each one ran by gods. They are so powerful that even Fane of Destiny can’t completely destroy them.”

Lord Xia Yu continued, “From the edge of Infernal Court to the Bloodysky Clan’s Dominion, there is a path that must be taken. It is called Hoth. To be exact, it is the path that the cultivators of the dark world must pass.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “Since it is the path that must be taken to the Bloodysky Clan’s Dominion, why didn’t the gods of Bloodysky Clan destroy Hoth and cut off this path?”

Lord Xia Yu shook his head, “Hoth is an eighth-level planet, ten billion times bigger than an ordinary planet. There are trillions of intelligent lives and countless cultivators living on it. Ordinary gods can’t destroy it at all. This is one of the reasons.”

“The second reason is that Hoth is too profitable. All the major forces of Bloodysky Clan have businesses there, including your Xue Jue Family. Destroying Hoth is equivalent to cutting off a source of income.

“The third reason is that the Master of Hoth is said to be an extraordinary figure who has a close relationship with Fane of Immortality.

“It is the combination of these relationships that have caused Hoth to become a place that no force can control. The major dark forces there are rampant, and countless shady deals are made there too.

“If you want me to find her, my first destination will definitely be Hoth. Also, you’d better give me a token from Xue Jue family. That way, I can save a lot of trouble on Hoth.”

“You know more about Infernal Court than I do. I trust your judgment.”

Zhang Ruochen thought to himself. Av?ci Pavilion was very powerful in the dark world, he could ask his master to help find Mu Lingxi. Both openly and covertly could the operation be done.

He used to worry that letting Av?ci Pavilion interfere in this matter would harm Mu Lingxi instead.

Now that he knew that the gods were not as omnipotent as he had imagined, Zhang Ruochen was naturally more daring. He could do things more freely.

“Master, Supreme Saint Qingsheng is here to visit.” Zhou Zhen walked over and bowed to Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen said, “It’s about time. Please invite uncle in.”

Zhou Zhen retreated.

A moment later, Supreme Saint Qingsheng and an old man in black walked into Vastsea Manor side by side.

Supreme Saint Qingsheng was extraordinary. His red hair was like blood. Along the way, he gave Zhou Zhen, Lian Xi, and the others great pressure. They didn’t dare to look up. However, the old man who walked with him didn’t have a trace of a saint’s might. He gave people a simple, unadorned, and unfathomable feeling.

Lord Xia Yu glanced at the elder. She, who was usually calm, suddenly changed her expression. She stood up abruptly and retreated to the side.

Zhang Ruochen was a little surprised to see her behavior. He could not help but observe the elder in black carefully. The more he looked, the more shocked he became. He felt that this person was not in space at all. It was as if he was walking in another world.

Even though he didn’t have any aura, the pressure in Zhang Ruochen’s heart grew stronger as he walked closer.

He was even more terrifying than a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint. It was obvious that he was a god.

Zhang Ruochen stood up and cupped his fists. “Greetings, God.”

Yuan Yi, Lord of Fane of Thousand Clearwater smiled gently with the wrinkles on his face. “Ruochen, you’ve done wonders for Immortal Vampires and Bloodysky Clan. I’m really impressed with your doing. I’ve wanted to visit you for a long time.”

Zhou Zhen, Lian Xi, and the others were shocked beyond words. Zhang Ruochen’s status in Infernal Court had reached such a terrifying level? Even gods had come to visit him personally.

Lord Xia Yu stepped back and was about to leave.

Lord of Fane of Thousand Clearwater noticed her and said, “Lord Xia Yu, don’t go yet. I’m here to see you too.”

Lord Xia Yu stopped, but her face was still cold. She didn’t flatter or be humble just because the other party was a god. She didn’t want to be bothered.

Supreme Saint Qingsheng introduced, “Ruochen, this is the Lord of Fane of Thousand Clearwater, one of the gods of Bloodysky Clan.”

The confusion in Zhang Ruochen’s heart disappeared instantly. He showed a thoughtful look.

Fane of Thousand Clearwater and Lord Xia Yu’s Xias were both located on the southern ridge of theDominion of Bloodysky Clan. They were the two of the more powerful forces in the southern ridge.

After the ancestor of the Xias died, Fane of Thousand Clearwater had been encroaching on the Xias’ territory. Both sides had a deep grudge.

The Xias had close to 300 billion people. They had seven saint cities and countless Saint-level cultivators. However, after so many years of fighting, the Xias suffered heavy losses. Four of the seven saint cities had been lost.

The Xias were not far away from extermination.

Infernal Court was just as cruel as it was. The internal struggles between the powers had never stopped. It was very normal for power without a deity to be swallowed by a power with a deity.

Lord Xia Yu’s outstanding performance in Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting and ability to condense a Grade Three Saintwill meant that she would definitely receive Immortal Vampire’s attention and nurture. In the future, she would very likely become a TrueGod.

Yuan Yi, Lord of Fane of Thousand Clearwater, was just a pseudo god. How could he not be afraid?

Once Lord Xia Yu became a god, he would be the first one to be dealt with.

Lord of Fane of Thousand Clearwater could certainly nip Lord Xia Yu in the bud, but Zhang Ruochen was standing behind Lord Xia Yu. After what happened in Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting, everyone could see how much Zhang Ruochen valued Lord Xia Yu.

If he dared to touch Lord Xia Yu, how could Zhang Ruochen not take revenge on Fane of Thousand Clearwater?

If Fane of Thousand Clearwater was not a force of Bloodysky Clan, but another clan, with Yuan Yi’s identity, he would not be afraid of Zhang Ruochen.

However, Wargod Bloodximius had become the leader of Bloodysky Clan, and Zhang Ruochen was highly valued.

Thus, Yuan Yi had to lower himself and take the initiative to visit Zhang Ruochen.

Of course, what really crushed Yuan Yi was a message from Blood Empress not long ago. “I think highly of Lord Xia Yu. How about letting the Xias go?”

Lord Xia Yu had the potential to become a god. She was beautiful and has Zhang Ruochen as her backer. Naturally, Blood Empress that loves the tree loves the branch. She probably already regarded Lord Xia Yu as her daughter-in-law. Thus, taking her matter a little more seriously.

Xue Jue Family was at the peak of their power. Blood Empress had just killed a pseudo god and fought with Asurendra Samay, who was famous for his battle prowess. When Yuan Yi received Blood Empress’s divine order, he was shocked.

He had never expected Blood Empress to personally intervene in this matter.

The difference between a TrueGod and a pseudo god was too great. Moreover, the gods of Xue Jue Family were not easy to deal with. They could not be provoked.

“Lord Xia Yu, Fane of Thousand Clearwater has borrowed four of the Xias saint cities. I have already ordered all the cultivators of our Fane to retreat and return the four saint cities to the Xias,” Yuan Yi said.

Lord Xia Yu was stunned. Her face was filled with disbelief.

If not for Yuan Yi’s true form being here and Supreme Saint Qingsheng standing by the side, she would have suspected that this was a scam.

Lord of Fane of Thousand Clearwater, a god that everyone could only look up to, had actually taken the initiative to compromise with a Supreme Saint like her?

Of course, she didn’t think that she had that much power. She thought to herself, could it be that Zhang Ruochen had gone to ask Wargod Bloodximius to pressure the Lord of Fane of Thousand Clearwater?

Yuan Yi continued, “The territory that Fane of Thousand Clearwater has occupied will gradually be returned to the Xias within three years. Lord Xia Yu, you performed well on Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting and displayed the prestige of Bloodysky Clan. I have high hopes for you. I will work hard to cultivate with Master Ruochen and strive to enter divinity as soon as possible.”

Yuan Yi did not apologize or compensate her. However, as a deity, it was already the limit for him to make such a concession to a Supreme Saint.

Unless Lord Xia Yu became a deity in the future, Yuan Yi would not be able to yield to her.

After Yuan Yi left, Lord Xia Yu remained motionless as if she had been petrified.

For so many years, the Xias had been bullied by Fane of Thousand Clearwater. They had suffered grievances and countless clansmen had died tragically. However, no one had helped them and they were powerless to resist.

She had never expected that the Lord of Fane of Thousand Clearwater would personally pay a visit to return to the Xias’ saint city and territory because of her relationship with Zhang Ruochen and their performance on Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting.

It was all because of Zhang Ruochen.

She only felt that she would never be able to pay back what she owed Zhang Ruochen!

“Thank you.”

Lord Xia Yu clenched her teeth. Tears welled up in her stubborn eyes.

This day had finally arrived after so many years.

She could imagine that at this moment, hundred millions of clansmen in the territory of the Xias were celebrating and singing. Finally, they no longer had to suffer oppression and humiliation.

“Let her be alone. Ruochen, come with me. I... I have something to discuss with you.”

In front of Zhang Ruochen, Supreme Saint Qingsheng was a little embarrassed.

Back then, Supreme Saint Qingsheng had taught Zhang Ruochen a lesson, telling him not to cultivate Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill. He had even said that if he could cultivate Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill to Grade Two level, he would write his name upside down.

It was unknown whether Zhang Ruochen still remembered this matter.

He hoped that he had forgotten it!

“Why did Wargod leave this matter to me? Why didn’t he negotiate with Zhang Ruochen himself? Really... This kind of matter. Sigh, is it so difficult to be the head of the family? And it’s only a temporary one.” Supreme Saint Qingsheng felt very upset.

He could be the head of the family.

He could do dirty, tiring, and cheap work.

However, could the word “temporary” be removed? Besides that, why not also improve the treatment for the head of the family?
