Zhou Zhen was now in a dilemma, and he was brainstorming on ways to deal with the situation.
There were so things he could not say, but at this mont, he had no choice but to say it.
With Zhang Ruochen’s intelligence and wisdom, he could not be easily fooled. If he wanted to escape, he would have to say sothing of real value.
After so thought, Zhou Zhen said, “Gu Xin’ao vaguely ntioned that the remaining seven Realm Bearers are connected to the imperial court’s fate. Being able to mobilize the power of the thousands of spiritual veins gathered in the Central Imperial City is of great significance to the protection of the Central Imperial City.
“If a Realm Bearer dies, the defense of the Central Imperial City might have a flaw.”
Zhang Ruochen’s heart jumped. The situation in the Central Imperial City was so critical, but the seven Realm Bearers were all gathered. Perhaps there was a reason for this.
A god spending so much effort to nurture seven Realm Bearers must have other intentions. Even if they hadn’t fully grown, they could still play an important role.
But the cultivators from the sect of Heavenly Realm wanted to kill the Realm Bearers. They had ulterior motives.
At a ti like this, the Heavenly Realm was still thinking about internal strife instead of concentrating their forces to fight the Infernal Court. It was simply insane.
“What are you and Gu Xin’ao plotting in the Welkin Lounge?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Zhou Zhen said, “Gu Xin’ao values my position in the Formation Sect and wants to befriend . That’s why he’s holding a banquet in the Welkin Lounge to welco . Even a strong realm like the Saber Empyrean will request help from the Formation Sect.”
In the end, Zhou Zhen’s eyes couldn’t help but show a sense of pride. It was the sense of superiority as the successor of the Formation Sect.
The Formation Sect had a transcendent status and was independent of the world. Even if it dominated the world, it would do its best to maintain a harmonious relationship.
Zhang Ruochen nodded noncommittally. Only he knew whether he believed Zhou Zhen’s words or not.
“We are the celestial law enforcers and we are here for Zhang Ruochen. Where is he?”
At this mont, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
Although this voice didn’t spread across the entire imperial city like Emperor Yi’s Evil Spirits, it also spread throughout the first central district where the Ziwei Palace was located. It reached the ears of millions of Saint realm cultivators.
“Since the celestial law enforcers have made a move, let’s see how arrogant Zhang Ruochen can be.”
“Insolent? Even if he’s a true dragon, he has to be arrogant in front of the celestial law enforcers. Who dares to offend the majesty of the Celestial Palace?”
“Just wait for the show. I wonder what an interesting scene it will be when Zhang Ruochen puts on the shackles.”
…
All of a sudden, the cultivators in the first central district were alard. They all turned their eyes toward Ziwei Palace.
Although everyone knew that Zhang Ruochen was undisciplined, no one thought that he dared to fight Celestial Palace.
Joy sparked in Zhou Zhen’s eyes. With the deterrence of the celestial law enforcers, Zhang Ruochen shouldn’t dare to do anything to him.
It would be even better if the celestial law enforcers could capture Zhang Ruochen,’ Zhou Zhen thought.
Zhang Ruochen glanced at Zhou Zhen indifferently and said, “Gu Xin’ao was killed, but the celestial law enforcers didn’t do anything. They rushed over as soon as you were captured. You must be quite of sothing.”
“Are you thinking that I’ll let you go when the celestial law enforcers arrive?”
Zhou Zhen’s heart trembled slightly. His instincts told him that things might not be as simple as he thought.
Outside the Ziwei Palace, six celestial law enforcers rode on white jade pegasi. They stood in a line, emitting a strong murderous aura. As though the aura transford into ferocious divine demons. Just their auras alone were enough to scare people. It was obvious that they didn’t co with good intentions.
“Zhang Ruochen, show yourself,” one of the enforcers shouted coldly.
As soon as he finished shouting, the palace gate opened and a beautiful palace maid in green walked out.
The palace maid stopped 9 ters away from the six celestial law enforcers. She said nervously, “The Prince of the Eastern Region has sothing important to deal with and he won’t see anyone.”
Although the palace maid was a saint, her cultivation was inferior to the six celestial law enforcers. Especially when they emitted extrely powerful saint might, which makes her felt under great pressure.
“How dare you! We represent the Celestial Palace. Zhang Ruochen sent a little palace maid to send us away. Are you trying to insult us? Zhang Ruochen, do you have no regard for the Celestial Palace?” One of the enforcers shouted.
He had never been rejected entry since he beca a celestial law enforcer.
A powerful aura burst out from his body.
Bang!
The palace maid’s cultivation was too weak. She flew backward and spat out blood as she couldn’t withstand the impact.
A look of horror appeared in the palace maid’s eyes and she felt like her entire body was about to explode.
She had never expected that the other party would be so overbearing.
When she flustered, a gentle force appeared and wrapped around her. She instantly stabilized her body, and the aura that was about to crush her vanished into thin air.
Then, a cloud of crystal-clear spring of life flew out of the Ziwei Palace and entered the palace maid’s body.
“How impressive. As a celestial law enforcer, you can disregard the rules set by and oppress the cultivators of Kunlun?”
A cold voice ca from Ziwei Palace.
The enforcer who spoke just now urged the white jade pegasus forward, and said loudly, “Zhang Ruochen, don’t be unreasonable. You killed the leader of Saber Empyrean for no reason and took away the High-saint Array Master sent by Celestial Palace. You have violated the heavenly law. Release Master Zhou Zhen imdiately and surrender. Co with us to the Celestial Palace and accept your punishnt.”
Others would be afraid of Zhang Ruochen, but as the celestial law enforcer, he didn’t put Zhang Ruochen in his eyes at all.
“Capture ? Do you have the heavenly decree of the Celestial Palace?” Zhang Ruochen’s faint voice ca out.
The enforcer snorted. “Do you think you’re a god or a Supre Saint? Why do we need the heavenly decree of the Celestial Palace to capture you?”
“You don’t even have the heavenly decree, yet you want to capture . Do you think I can be bullied?” Zhang Ruochen’s tone was calm, but there was an invisible pressure emanating from Ziwei Palace.
Another enforcer said, “Zhang Ruochen, do you still want to resist? You’d better think about the consequences.”
Anyone could hear the strong threat in his tone.
The six enforcers’ eyes were cold. They were ready to forcibly break into Ziwei Palace at any ti.
They had co to capture Zhang Ruochen. Even Empress Chi Yao couldn’t cure them of offending.
“There is no heavenly decree, and there is no commander. Just the six of you and you want to surrender? Where did you get the courage?”
“I don’t care who you are. If you hurt any cultivator of Kunlun for no reason and violate my laws, you must be punished.” Zhang Ruochen’s indifferent voice sounded.
An enforcer sneered and said, “Your laws? Zhang Ruochen, weren’t you taking yourself too seriously? Punish us? You can try.”
He didn’t take Zhang Ruochen’s words to heart. It had always been the enforcers who punished others and not the other way around.
Sotis, their words were equivalent to the heavenly law and no one dared to defy it.
However, before he could finish his words, the Saint Qi of heaven and earth around him shook violently. In an instant, it condensed into a 300-ter hand and pressed down in the air.
When the six enforcers saw this, their expressions changed.
Without any hesitation, the six enforcers imdiately attacked and used a powerful saint technique to block the large hand that was pressing down.
At the sa ti, six chains flew out from their bodies. All of them released bright saint light and many mysterious runes appeared on the surface. It was as if six divine dragons had been revived and were soaring into the sky.
The chains were created by Celestial Palace with a unique secret technique. They could restrict all sorts of powers, which is enough to restrain the top-notch Nine-step saint kings and even Neverwither Supre Saint.
However, no matter how many thods they used, it was useless.
As the 300-ter huge hand pressed down, the space within a thousand feet radius beca completely solidified.
The six enforcers seed to have been cast with a body-immobilizing technique and could not move at all.
“Zhang Ruochen, how dare you attack the celestial law enforcers? Do you think nothing of the heavenly law?” One of the enforcers shouted angrily.
Zhang Ruochen did not speak. Instead, he made his stance clear with his actions.
The 300-ter hand no longer stagnated. Instead, it suddenly pressed down.
Bang
Instantly, the six enforcers and their mounts sank into the ground. Only their heads were exposed.
“Zhang Ruochen, you’ll regret this.”
The six enforcers were furious. They had never been so humiliated before.
A hundred miles away, Jin Hong and the other enforcers stood on a low mountain. They watched Ziwei Palace from afar.
“Commander, should we save them?”
One of the enforcers asked.
Jin Hong put his hands behind his back and said calmly, “They disobeyed and went to find trouble with Zhang Ruochen privately. It’s better to let them suffer a little.”
The other enforcers stopped saying anything to avoid making Jin Hong unhappy.
At this mont, Jin Hong felt a gaze cast over from the Ziwei Palace.
Jin Hong knew Zhang Ruochen was gazing at him. He wasn’t surprised at all, because he didn’t deliberately hide it.
Jin Hong smiled after he felt Zhang Ruochen’s gaze. He wasn’t intimidated by his opponent’s powerful saint might. However, the enforcers around him weren’t so relaxed. Each of them seed to have a mountain on their bodies and they couldn’t move.
“I am Jin Hong, The Reaper.”
Although Zhang Ruochen had never seen Zhou Zhen before, he could visualize him with all the knowledge in his mind with his powerful spiritual power.
A wisp of Saint Qi, a Precept, a look, a hair, an inch of skin… all contained endless knowledge, and one could see everything at a glance.
Spiritual power was not only used for fighting.
Since the other party had no intention of showing up, Zhang Ruochen didn’t bother to provoke another powerful enemy.
After looking at each other for a mont, Zhang Ruochen withdrew his gaze.
“Phew.”
All the enforcers heaved a long sigh of relief. They had never felt so relaxed before.
“Zhang Ruochen is terrifying. No wonder so many top-notch elites below the first level of the Supre Saint attacked at the sa ti but were still suppressed by him. They dared to provoke Zhang Ruochen, and they were asking for trouble.”
“The commander is wise. With Zhang Ruochen’s style of acting, we can’t subdue him without the heavenly decree from the Celestial Palace.”
At this mont, these enforcers were undoubtedly completely convinced by Jin Hong’s decision.
Jin Hong didn’t say anything. He simply turned around and left.
Seeing this, the other enforcers naturally didn’t dare to stay any longer. They all followed.
As for the six enforcers who were suppressed, they could only pray for their good fortune.
Seeing the six enforcers being suppressed, the cultivators who were watching in secret were undoubtedly exploded.
“Zhang Ruochen is crazy. He even dares to suppress the celestial law enforcers. Isn’t he afraid of being punished even more?”
“It’s a pity that Commander Jin Hong didn’t make a move. Otherwise, Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t have dared to be so arrogant.”
“Perhaps even if Commander Jin Hong made a move, the outco would still be the sa. Zhang Ruochen has no rival below the Supre Saint.”
“It seems that we can only wait for the news from the Celestial Palace. It won’t be long.”
…
Many cultivators were very disappointed, but there was nothing they could do.
Based on the current situation, if there was no order from the Celestial Palace, no one would be able to do anything to Zhang Ruochen if the Supre Saint and the gods couldn’t enter Kunlun.
The laws would always be hanging over the heads of the cultivators as long as Zhang Ruochen was still there, forming constraints on everyone.
In Ziwei Palace, Zhang Ruochen appeared very calm, as if nothing had happened.
Zhou Zhen, on the other hand, was a little frightened. Although he did not know the specific situation outside the imperial palace, he had heard the words of the six enforcers.
It was hard to imagine how Zhang Ruochen could be so bold as to provoke the celestial law enforcers.
Therefore, it was really difficult for him to escape.
Zhang Ruochen glanced at Zhou Zhen and pondered for a mont. He smiled and said, “Don’t be nervous. Since Master Zhou is so cooperative, I will keep my promise and let you go.”
Zhou Zhen looked surprised and said, “Are you going to let go?”
“Of course. Co, I’ll see you out myself.”
Zhang Ruochen released a stream of Saint Qi and wrapped Zhou Zhen with it as he spoke. He then perford the Great Dinsional Shift.
The next mont, the two appeared at the entrance of Ziwei Palace.
Zhang Ruochen smiled and patted Zhou Zhen’s shoulder. He was very friendly, like a good friend he had just made.
“Please forgive , for my actions have offended you nurous tis. If you need anything in the future, just co to . There are very few things in Kunlun that I can’t do,” Zhang Ruochen said.
At this ti, the six enforcers who had been suppressed underground all had cold eyes. They stared at Zhou Zhen.
They were all powerful figures from the sects of the Heavenly Realm. With their status, they naturally knew many secrets.
If not for that, they would not have rushed to the Ziwei Palace to ask for Zhou Zhen after he was taken away by Zhang Ruochen, disregarding Jin Hong’s orders.
However, judging from the current situation, Zhou Zhen might have a huge problem. He might have leaked important secrets to Zhang Ruochen.
Otherwise, why would Zhou Zhen be able to walk out of the Ziwei Palace alive when Gu Xin’ao was killed? Moreover, Zhang Ruochen had personally sent him off.
Zhou Zhen was still a little dizzy at this ti and did not understand the situation.
However, since Zhang Ruochen had let him go, why would he hesitate?
After Zhang Ruochen watched Zhou Zhen leaving, he secretly transmitted his spiritual power to Yin Yuanchen’s mind. He said, “Brother Yin, I want to ask you for a favor.”
“Brother Zhang, please speak,” Yin Yuanchen replied.
Zhang Ruochen said telepathically, “Please follow behind Zhou Zhen and see who he will be in contact with.”
“Since you trust , leave this matter to ,” Yin Yuanchen answered straightforwardly.
Imdiately, Yin Yuanchen concealed himself and left the Ziwei Palace, quietly following him.
