Xingluo City, a well-known prosperous big city in the All-Saints’ Land. It had a long history and a population of tens of millions.
The Shangguan family was in Xingluo City, based on a sacred mountain, occupying an area of thousands of square miles.
Here, the Shangguan family was an absolutely noble family. Even if those from the imperial family had to show respect to them.
As a dieval family, the Shangguans had a rich heritage.
The family mansion of the Shangguans, which was today’s Saint King Que Palace, looked like a magnificent palace. It was clustered into many buildings of different sizes and heights. From ti to ti, rare birds and animals could be seen roaming in the palace courtyard.
“The Saint King Que Palace is such a beautiful palace. It seems that Shangguan Que is having a good life here all these years.”
King Mingjiang could not help hissing as he stood outside the Saint King Que Palace.
Since he was going to the Shangguan family to find out things of 800 years ago, he had summoned King Mingjiang, and of course, Mu Lingxi.
After the battle of Peacock Manor, Zhang Ruochen was busy in his retreat and healing his injuries, but he did not forget about the Shengming people whom he kept inside the Exquisite Dinsional Orbs.
Shengming City was half-destroyed and was no longer suitable for living. Besides, Zhang Ruochen had fallen out with the Heavenly Realm faction. It would be dangerous for the Shengming people to continue to stay in the Kunlun Realm.
So, he resettled all Shengming people in the Qiankun Realm since he would rebuild Shengming in the Qiankun Realm, anyway.
Of course, he would not restrict the freedom of the Shengming people. They could co out of the Qiankun Realm whenever they wanted.
“Saint King Que has t none outsiders for hundreds of years. I don’t know if he will see us this ti.” A look of worry appeared on Mu Lingxi’s face.
In the past, Mu Lingxi had spent a lot of Phoenix blood to heal Shengming’s forr veterans whose saint souls were wounded. That took a toll on her vitality.
When Zhang Ruochen found that out, it caused much heartache to him. So he gave her a ton of elixirs and herbs.
After killing the many powerhouses from the Heavenly Realm, he had gotten a lot of loot—over ten 100,000-year-old ancient sacred herbs among others. It could be said that he had got all the treasures he wanted.
With the help of many elixirs, Mu Lingxi not only completely replenished the spent Phoenix blood but also attained Precept Domain. She was now much stronger than ever, without feeling the slightest weakness.
“Had we known that we were going to visit the Shangguan family, we wouldn’t have let Head Rat return to Peakless Mountain. If the Head Rat is there, it can sneak into the Shangguan family and help us find out the truth about them,” said Mu Lingxi.
“Don’t worry, this teacher of mine won’t see any others, but he will definitely et .”
Zhang Ruochen walked towards the entrance of the Saint King Que Palace.
Outside the entrance stood two guards in golden armor. Both were very tall and mighty and exuded a powerful aura. They were high-order Demi-Saints.
Sending Demi-Saints as the guard at the entrance; probably this would only happen in Saint King Que Palace in the entire Xingluo City.
Zhang Ruochen did not want to go in by force. “Please tell Saint King Que that Zhang Ruochen would like to et him.”
Shangguan Que was his teacher. How could he not observe the etiquettes as a student?
The two golden armored guards’ expressions drastically changed upon hearing his na. They were stunned.
They were Demi-Saints and working as in the Saint King Que Palace, knowing what was happening out there was at least easy. How could they not hear about Zhang Ruochen?
As the two golden armored guards ca to their senses, they looked at Zhang Ruochen in awe and respect.
“Master Ruochen, please wait a mont, I will alert the master,” said one of the golden armored guards quickly and respectfully.
Zhang Ruochen and the others were not in a hurry. They waited quietly at the entrance.
However, the other golden armored guard looked very uncomfortable. He stood on the side, not even daring to breathe.
He could not help it. These seven people in front of him were simply too terrifying for him. Even if they had tried to conceal their auras, it still made him feel extrely nervous.
After waiting for a while, a graceful middle-aged man erged from the Saint King Que Palace.
This man was chubby, dressed in traditional Confucius attires with a strong persona of a scholar. He carried a strong sense of authority, sothing that ford naturally after years of being in a prominent position.
This man did not seem to have the slightest hint of saint Qi, but the spiritual power he radiated was terrifyingly potent. He was a spiritual-power Saint King with spiritual power’s attainnt of at least fifty-seventh order.
In the Shangguan family, apart from arch patriarch Shangguan Que, the person with such a strong spiritual power must be Shangguan Yong, the current patriarch of the Shangguan family.
“It is an honor to et you, Your Highness Prince.”
The middle-aged man stepped forward, bowed slightly at Zhang Ruochen as a sign of respect.
“Be at ease, Patriarch Shangguan. I wonder if we can et Saint King Que now?” said Zhang Ruochen.
“He has an instruction that when Your Highness arrives, I am to take you to et him straight away. This way, Your Highness.”
Shangguan Yong turned sideways and made a ‘please’ gesture.
With Shangguan Yong’s stature, few people could make him so courteous.
But Zhang Ruochen was the one he must receive with courtesy. Not only because Zhang Ruochen was the prince of Shengming but also because Zhang Ruochen possessed extrely terrifying strength.
Half a month ago, news of the two battles that took place in Shengming City and Peacock Manor had spread throughout the Kunlun Realm. How would Shangguan Yong not know?
There had been so many top powerhouses from the Heavenly Realm faction who died at the hands of Zhang Ruochen. It was terrifying enough by just thinking about it.
Coupled with the Battle of Sword Vault Palace and the Battle of Xianji Mountain, Zhang Ruochen had earned his reputation with his strength.
Zhang Ruochen nodded and walked into the Saint King Que Palace.
Mu Lingxi and others followed with no hesitation.
There was a high concentration of Saint Qi of heaven and earth in the Saint King Que Palace. It might not be as high as that of the holy land of awakening, but not by far. It showed that the sacred mountain in the center of the Saint King Que Palace was anything but ordinary.
Zhang Ruochen and others had attracted the attention of other Shangguan disciples as soon as they stepped in.
“That person seems to be Zhang Ruochen. What is he doing here in the Shangguan family?”
“It’s really Zhang Ruochen. Is he here looking for trouble?”
“Zhang Ruochen is too terrible. He has even killed the Shenzis and disciples of the Heavenly Realm faction. I’m afraid there is nothing else he dares to do.”
“When even the patriarch was alerted and went to receive him in person. Let’s hope nothing would happen.”
...
Due to Zhang Ruochen’s notorious reputation, these Shangguan disciples were worried, and they almost saw him as a scourge.
In particular, many people knew that the Shangguan family used to be the n of Shengming. The Shangguan family did not join the previous two battles.
After half a month, Zhang Ruochen visited the Shangguan family in person. It really made people wonder if he ca looking for trouble.
If that was the case, the Shangguan family would undoubtedly be in great trouble.
