Chapter 2435 - Enchanteur Palace, Reception Hall

Chapter 2435: Enchanteur Palace, Reception Hall

“It’s for Master Ruochen.”

Zhang Ruochen opened the invitation and read it quickly.

Finally, his eyes became sharp when he saw the name at the end of the invitation card.

Closing the invitation, Zhang Ruochen smiled coldly and said, “He actually came to me on his own initiative.”

“Who?” Xue Tu asked curiously.

Zhang Ruochen said, “The fifth son of Ghost Master, Ling.”

Xue Tu was shocked, he said, “There’s a long-held grudge between Xue Jue Family and Dishastan. Whether it’s Wargod, Ghost Master, or the cultivators below, there are countless public and hidden fights. Why would Ling invite you? I get it. It must be the matter in Southern Sword Realm. As far as I know, the cultivator who bought Southern Sword Realm from Death Palace’s Black Robe High Priest was Ling.”“Please reading on ;”

Zhang Ruochen asked, “How much do you know about Ling?”

“Not much.”

Xue Tu shook his head gently. “In any case, the nine sons of Ghost Master are all top-level talents and all have the potential to become gods. It was said that Ling had passed the eighth Ghost Tribulation a thousand years ago. I haven’t heard of him in the last few hundred years. I don’t know if he has passed the ninth Ghost Tribulation yet.”

A Ghost who had survived the ninth Ghost Tribulation was one of the top elites below divinity. One was comparable to a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint.

Xue Tu laughed. “I guess Ling must have wanted to use Southern Sword Realm to blackmail you. But he had miscalculated. Xue Jue Family is a big family. How could they put Southern Sword Realm in their eyes? I don’t think we should go to the invitation tonight. We can’t afford to offend an elite like Ling.”

“What’s wrong? Let’s go.” Zhang Ruochen asked.

......

Xue Tu was stunned and said, “Senior brother, now is not the time to be impulsive. Why don’t we open Sundial and cultivate for 1,000 years? After that, we can go out and kill every last one of them.”

“If we keep cultivating in seclusion, our progress will be slow. We will be just wasting our life,” Zhang Ruochen said.

The Battle of Celestial-Hunting had only lasted for 100 days, but Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation had improved more than cultivating in Sundial for hundreds of years.

The path of cultivation could not be separated from tempering and opportunities.

Southern Sword Realm was indeed insignificant in Zhang Ruochen’s heart. However, the promise he made was as heavy as a mountain. No matter how difficult it was, he had to try his best to fulfill it.

Perhaps part of the reason why Dishastan, Roopkund Sea, and Hall of Permanence had joined hands to purchase Southern Sword Realm was to target Zhang Ruochen. However, a macroworld contained countless living beings and buried hundred millions of bones.

After these living beings were killed, countless Corpusians and Ghost souls could be born. The bones buried underground could be cultivated into a large number of Bone cultivators.

If Zhang Ruochen did not go to the invitation, Ling could give the order to wipe out Southern Sword Realm and turn it into a city of dead souls. Thus, increasing the strength of the three forces.

At that time, Zhang Ruochen would not be able to fulfill his promise because he did not save them. His state of mind would be affected.

Naturally, Ling had achieved his goal.

Zhang Ruochen looked at the sky and said, “Let’s go to the House of Enchanteurs now. Xue Tu, lead the way.”

“Senior, I have something important to do, so I won’t go to the House of Enchanteurs!”

If it was another time, Xue Tu would definitely go to the House of Enchanteurs to have fun. However, he had ruined his reputation and suffered a great loss two days ago. Naturally, he wasn’t going to embarrass himself again.

Besides, Ling was a powerful existence. He is definitely up to no good in inviting Zhang Ruochen.

How could he, a Neverwilt Realm Supreme Saint dare to get involved in this matter.

“Are you sure you don’t want to go?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“It’s not that I don’t want to go. Father has passed down a divine order. I have to rush back to Dominion of Bloodysky Clan.” Xue Tu had no choice but to lie and blame it on the god.

Zhang Ruochen said casually, “I heard that you have stored a lot of Godstones in Realm of Star Ocean.”

Xue Tu’s face turned as pale as paper.

Lord Sinluo had returned to Vastsea Manor and was standing at the gate. He had just transmitted his voice and told Zhang Ruochen the secret of Xue Tu.

Xue Tu was sweating profusely. His body was trembling. He cried, “Senior, How-how did you know?”

“How much did you save?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Xue Tu was about to cry, “I risked my life to get those Godstones. It wasn’t easy for me! Senior, I’ll definitely pay you back for the Godstones I owe you. However, I need to have some savings in the path of cultivation that costs so much, right?”

“I didn’t say I wanted your Godstones. Why are you so nervous?” Zhang Ruochen said.

Hearing this, Xue Tu heaved a long sigh of relief.

Zhang Ruochen asked again, “Do you want to take me to the House of Enchanteurs?”

“No problem. I know that place well.”

“Aren’t you in a hurry to return to Dominion?”

“No, not at all. What could be more urgent than Senior’s matter?”

“Okay. The expenses in the House of Enchanteurs Tonight will be paid by Scion Xue Tu.”

Xue Tu’s face, which had recovered with much difficulty, turned pale again. He was petrified.

...

The House of Enchanteurs was built in Metaform City. It only needed one dimensional teleportation to get there from Winterpage City.

Zhang Ruochen still couldn’t fully control the power of Yanshen’s leg. So he stood by the lake with Xue Tu in Armor of the Fire God, looking at the brightly lit House of Enchanteurs in the center of the lake.

The House of Enchanteurs wasn’t a tower. It was a group of magnificent palaces on the water.

The palaces were golden and resplendent. Saint trees rose from the layers of jade tiles. They gave off purple light. Purple leaves fell like dancing lights. The sounds of singing and dancing could be faintly heard. It gave people endless thoughts.

There were many ships on the lake. Most cultivators on the ships had extraordinary cultivation. They could often sense a Supreme Saint’s aura.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen sensed a familiar aura fluctuation. His eyes fell on a blue ship. The ship seemed to be made of holy jade. It was engraved with Supreme Saint’s inscription, which could stop spiritual power from probing.

Zhang Ruochen could vaguely see the inside of the ship with the Eye of Truth.

He saw the Devalan prince, Prince Luo Shengtian sitting cross-legged. His body was shining brightly, and his aura was like a dragon or a roc. He gave off a faint divine power as if he could overturn heaven and earth.

“It’s him.”

Zhang Ruochen’s face showed a strange expression.

It was out of Zhang Ruochen’s expectations that he would meet Luo Sha’s royal brother in a place like the House of Enchanteurs.

Zhang Ruochen could see that Luo Shengtian had broken through to Thousand-Koan Realm. His cultivation and combat power had both increased by several times. With his current combat power, he could probably severely injure Que and Lan Ying — who were in Hundred-Shackle Realm — with only one move.

Zhang Ruochen had expected that Luo Shengtian would be able to break through to Thousand-Koan Realm before the others.

After all, Que, Lan Ying, Yan Haungtu, and Wujiang were all severely injured on the Battlefield of Celestial Hunting. They needed to spend a lot of time healing first. Luo Shengtian had accumulated his strength for many years. He was just one step away from Thousand-Koan Realm. Naturally, he could break through easily without any injuries.

What Zhang Ruochen couldn’t understand was Luo Shengtian was always serious and he didn’t seem like someone who was addicted to wine and sex. Why did he secretly come to the House of Enchanteurs when he had just broken through and couldn’t perfectly control the explosive power in his body?

The blue ship docked.

Luo Shengtian wore a special holy robe that made him shorter and thinner and wore a golden mask. Accompanied by a 60-year-old man, he climbed the white jade-like steps.

Apparently, the House of Enchanteurs knew the great identity of the Devalan Prince. They sent a beautiful woman in blue from Rakshasa to wait on the shore.

As soon as Luo Shengtian got off the boat, the beautiful woman in blue bowed and invited them into the House of Enchanteurs with a respectful attitude.

All of this was observed by Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen was curious about what was going on with Luo Shengtian. Why was he so mysterious and secretive.

Zhang Ruochen asked Xue Tu beside him, “Can you hide your identity when you enter the House of Enchanteurs?”

Xue Tu quickly shook his head, “Of course not. the House of Enchanteurs must have a clear grasp of the identity of every cultivator. The destructive power of a Saint-level cultivator is too terrifying. If a crazy person appears and causes trouble, the House of Enchanteurs will be destroyed.”

Suddenly, Xue Tu thought of something, he said seriously, “Senior, you just got engaged to Princess Luo Sha. It’s not suitable for you to show up in public. If you don’t want to expose your identity, you can contact the hall master first. With the permission of the hall master, you can hide your real face to others.”

“No need to trouble yourself.”

Zhang Ruochen’s body swayed, and the sound of flesh moving came from his body.

After a moment, he changed his appearance and turned into Xueqi. Even Armor of the Fire God on his body had changed. The divine light had completely disappeared, and the armor was no different from an ordinary one.

Xueqi was also a proud son of Xue Jue Family. He was less than 1,000 years old, and his cultivation had reached Hundred-Shackle Realm. It was reasonable for him to go to the House of Enchanteurs with Xue Tu.

Although Xue Tu and “Xueqi” were both Supreme Saints, there were many Supreme Saints who came to the House of Enchanteurs that didn’t receive any special treatment. They could only take the House of Enchanteurs’s guiding spirit ship and enter the House of Enchanteurs with other cultivators.

After getting off the ship and arriving outside Reception Hall, Zhang Ruochen finally felt the extravagance of Enchanteur Palace.

Reception Hall was built from materials used to refine Regal Artifacts. It was 300 meters tall and majestic. The two bronze doors could allow dozens of people to pass side by side.

Every detail was meticulously studied.

For example, the phoenix carving on the golden pillars, the lanterns on both sides of the door, the design of the window lattice, the bone carving used for decoration, the planting method of the holy tree spirit flower... All the designs and arrangements were masterful creations. Saint-level cultivators would be amazed when they saw it.

It was completely different from what Zhang Ruochen had imagined. Instead, it was like an art museum.

Every step and scene was beautiful and magnificent.

Such scenery could be seen in just the Reception Hall. He didn’t know how many more mysterious scenery there were in the House of Enchanteurs.

Compared to this place, Zhang Ruochen’s Vastsea Manor was no different from a simple thatched cottage.

“If it weren’t for all the noise and racket, the House of Enchanteurs would be an excellent place for self-cultivation,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Xue Tu stood to Zhang Ruochen’s right and looked at the lights in front of him, he sighed and said, “Senior, you may not know this, but there are nine halls in the House of Enchanteurs. Among them, there are also places that are extremely peaceful and natural. To put it bluntly, any cultivator who comes to the House of Enchanteurs will probably be addicted to this place. They won’t leave until they’ve spent all their treasures.”

Zhang Ruochen chuckled and shook his head. He obviously didn’t agree with Xue Tu.

A Supreme Saint’s will was very strong. He could control his desires and wouldn’t be easily addicted. Of course, this didn’t apply to cultivators with inner demons.

There were many cultivators gathered in Reception Hall. Beautiful women in white shuttled back and forth, communicating with them and settling them down.

Some of these women were charming, some had a pure temperament, some came from Immortal Vampires, Rakshasa, Nether Clan, Yanluo clan, and so on. There were also humans, elves, dragon ladies, foxes, and people from Celestial Court.

They were at least Demi-Saints. They were all calm and collected when communicating with a Supreme Saint.

Zhang Ruochen saw two familiar figures. They were Yan Zhexian and Yan Huangtu.

Both of them had changed their appearances and figures. They wore robes that concealed their auras. Around them were more than a dozen guards with powerful cultivations. They looked imposing and attracted the attention of many cultivators.

The hall master of Reception Hall had reached the Supreme Saint Realm. She was a woman in her 20s. According to Xue Tu’s introduction, her name was Han Yun’ge. She was a human.

She looked young and had a very immature temperament Yet in reality, she was already over three thousand years old and a rather shrewd person.

For a human woman to be able to reach such a high position in Infernal Court, she had to be very shrewd.

Han Yun’ge took the initiative to welcome Yan Zhexian and Yan Huangtu. She bowed to them and with a faint smile on her face, she used her spiritual power to communicate with them.

No one knew what they were communicating about.

A moment later, Yan Huangtu said, “Tonight, I’ll still be staying at Peach Annex. You should know what to do.”

“Of course!”

Han Yun’ge immediately called over a white-clothed girl and led the people of the Yanluo clan through Reception Hall to the depths of the palace complex.

“Who has such a high profile to actually speak to Master Han in such a tone?”

“Ordinary Scion doesn’t have such power. Could it be a superior from Thousand-Koan Realm or Banshi Isshou Realm?”

“I don’t think it’s that simple. That person definitely has a powerful background.”

...

Apart from Zhang Ruochen, few cultivators could see through the disguise of Yan Huangtu and Yan Zhexian. They were all discussing and speculating.

Zhang Ruochen was even more confused. He thought to himself, “What’s going on? Why are Yan Huangtu and Yan Zhexian Here? Did something big happen in the House of Enchanteurs?”

It was understandable if Yan Huangtu had come alone.

The men had just experienced a life-and-death battle on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. He should relax with a romantic experience. However, the appearance of Yan Zhexian made Zhang Ruochen think deeply. Did the elites of Yanluo clan come to the House of Enchanteurs for another purpose?

Then, Zhang Ruochen found traces of several elites. They were all personally received by Han Yun’ge. Clearly, they had a powerful background.

Even Xue Tu realized that something was wrong, he said in a low voice, “Senior, the House of Enchanteurs is a bit strange today. Normally, Han Yun’ge is almost nowhere to be seen. I didn’t expect that the hall master of Reception Hall would come in person today and personally receive several groups of cultivators.”

There was envy and curiosity in Xue Tu’s tone.

He added, “Xueqi’s status is still a bit low. If Senior revealed your true identity, no matter how lofty the House of Enchanteurs is, Han Yun’ge would definitely take the initiative to welcome you instead of being ignored.”

Han Yun’ge was dressed in immortal silk wrapped around her wrists. Her temperament was lucid and elegant. She was like a fairy in the clouds and did not have any mundane sense.

A maid in white held a scroll in her hand and walked quickly to Han Yun’ge’s side. Her lips moved as she whispered something to her.

A look of surprise appeared in Han Yun’ge’s eyes. She took the scroll and glanced at it. Then, she could not help but look in the direction of ‘Xueqi’ and Xue Tu.

Han Yun’ge walked over like a gentle and talented lady. She placed her hand on her waist and bowed slightly, “Yun’ge’s greetings to Supreme Saint Xueqi and Scion Xue Tu.”

Many cultivators in Reception Hall looked over.

Some of them were surprised. Why was Han Yun’ge so respectful to Xue Tu and Xueqi? After all, Han Yun’ge was also a Supreme Saint.

Xue Tu was excited as he was finally valued. He couldn’t help but straighten his back and feel honored.

Zhang Ruochen remained calm and showed an extraordinary bearing.

Han Yun’ge transmitted her voice to Zhang Ruochen through spiritual power. “Master Ruochen, why didn’t you tell me that you were coming? Please forgive me for my slight.”

Zhang Ruochen transmitted his voice. “How do you know my real identity?”

“Master Ruochen’s Shapeshifting technique is rather brilliant that Yun’ge can’t see through it. However, the House of Enchanteurs knows that Xueqi has returned to Dominion of Bloodysky Clan and is not in Divine Domain of Destiny.”

A gentle look appeared on Han Yun’ge’s pure face, which dazzled many cultivators present.

Zhang Ruochen thought to himself. It seemed that the information system of the Enchanteur Chamber was very powerful. Most of the information and movements of the Supreme Saints in Infernal Court were under their control.

Han Yun’ge did not transmit another message. She asked, “Supreme Saint Xueqi is an honored guest of the House of Enchanteurs. Do you want to arrange some ladies of the night?”

“Arrange some ladies of the night?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Xue Tu looked envious and jealous. He quickly sent a message to Zhang Ruochen, “Han Yun’ge is smart. It seems that she has guessed your identity. In the House of Enchanteurs, only people with outstanding status and cultivation talent are qualified to request courtesans.

“In other words, if you only have your current cultivation talent and not the status of the grandson of Bloodysky Clan’s leader and Blood Empress’ son, you are not qualified to request for a lady of the night.

“Even if you are the grandson of the clan’s leader and Scion, without your current cultivation talent, you are also not qualified.

“Talent and background are indispensable.

“Of course, if your cultivation has reached Paramount Realm, and you are ranked second-class or above on Divine Ascension Ranking, you are also qualified.”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “Forget it, I’m not interested.”

Hearing this, Xue Tu was dumbfounded. No cultivator had ever been qualified to request for courtesans, but not request them.

He was even more anxious than Zhang Ruochen, he immediately transmitted his voice, “Senior, the courtesans nurtured by the House of Enchanteurs are not comparable to those of ordinary Saint-level women. They are all versatile and gentle. Some of them can even reach the level of spiritual-power Supreme Saint with their zither skills and calligraphy. They are not inferior to those great scholars and Saint Confucians in Kunlun’s Field.

“More importantly, once you request for a courtesan, she will belong to you alone for life. She will never come into contact with other men.”

“Why is the House of Enchanteurs so detached? It is because they know that lust can only attract ordinary cultivators. Only love can resonate with the top heaven’s pride and God devisee.”

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen was a little curious. He asked, “It is hard to find a woman like so as you said. Can the Enchanteur Chamber nurture a batch of women like this?”

Xue Tu said, “Yes. The power of the Enchanteur Chamber is so great. The courtesans they nurture are like their own daughters. The cultivator who fell in love with them is, in a sense, the son-in-law of the Enchanteur Chamber. It’s said that the house master of Fane of Destiny’s House of Enchanteurs is the lover of Death Palace’s Black Robe High Priest in the Enchanteur Chamber.”

“No wonder you said that the Enchanteur Chamber has a deep foundation in Infernal Court. It turns out that their sons-in-law are all over the world, and all are extraordinary,” Zhang Ruochen said with a smile.

Xue Tu said, “Senior, are you going to request a courtesan? Let’s try. I want to see how amazing the courtesans of Enchanteur Palace are. They can make so many powerful and talented people fall for them.”

“No,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Xue Tu was stunned again and said, “Why? I understand. Senior, are you afraid that Princess Luo Sha will know?”

Zhang Ruochen ignored Xue Tu and shook his head at Han Yun’ge. He smiled and said, “Thank you for your kindness. I won’t request them for now.”

“Okay. the House of Enchanteurs respects your choice.”

Although Han Yun’ge said so, how could the Enchanteur Chamber give up on investing in a Yuanhui level genius like Zhang Ruochen?

Once Zhang Ruochen became a god in the future, the position of the Enchanteur Chamber would be more consolidated.

However, Han Yun’ge understood that Zhang Ruochen had Fairy Shadowless from Portrait of the Nine Beauties, the number one beauty of Bloodysky Clan, Xia Yu. As well as his fiancée, Princess Luo Sha, who was both intelligent and beautiful. How could he be interested in ordinary flowers?

“Perhaps only Qing ‘er could catch his eye. Unfortunately, Qing ‘er is also arrogant and looks down on all the talents in the world. She might not be interested in this Yuanhui level genius.”

Han Yun’ge thought of Bai Qing ‘er who was in Divine Domain of Destiny. However, even the house master of the House of Enchanteurs could not force her to do anything.

After all, Bai Qing ‘er’s father had a great background. In the last Yuanhui period, he too was a Yuanhui-level genius and was on par with Wargod Bloodximius.

Zhang Ruochen said, “I came to the House of Enchanteurs to meet Ling. Where is he?”

As he spoke, Zhang Ruochen handed the invitation card to Han Yun’ge.

After Han Yun’ge read the card, she smiled and said, “I know about the grudges between Xue Jue Family and Dishastan. I hope that you can respect the rules of the House of Enchanteurs and not fight. Even if there is a fight, the House of Enchanteurs has a battle stage with Divine Marks. If there is any conflict, you can go to the battle stage to resolve it.”

“Don’t worry. As long as they follow the rules, I won’t fight,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Han Yun’ge said, “Lord Ling, Cang Baizi, and Huo Xing, the three Supreme Saints are all in Phoenix Annex.”

“Don’t tell them that I’m here,” Zhang Ruochen said.

When Xue Tu heard Cang Baizi’s name, his face became strange. He was embarrassed, angry, and scared. He just stood there and didn’t move.

“What’s wrong?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Xue Tu said, “Nothing, nothing. Senior, I have to remind you that Cang Baizi is an elite of Hall of Permanence. His cultivation is unfathomable. Huo Xing is a big shot in Roopkund Sea. His strength is not weaker than Ling. None of these three elites are easy to deal with.”

“If you are afraid, Don’t go! Go and investigate something...”

Zhang Ruochen stopped mid-sentence and looked in the direction of the entrance of Reception Hall. A woman dressed as a man walked in.
