God Emperor

The dragon ball soared, emitting a dazzling light, like a small golden sun, with astonishing heat, as if it could melt the earth.

As long as the Dragon Ball can knock down the Langhuan Golden Bell, this forbidden city will be opened. The strong men in the 31st city can naturally find that the monks in the black market are attacking the Silver Sky Mercenary Group.

Especially the imperial court.

The imperial court of the First Central Empire deeply hates the black market. Once it discovers that black market monks appear in the city, it will immediately send troops from the Ministry of War to destroy them.

Just as the dragon ball was about to collide with the Langhuan Golden Bell, suddenly, a skinny old man wearing a gray robe flew out from above the dragon ball.

The old man in gray robe seemed to appear out of thin air, which was extremely strange. He stepped on the void and ran quickly towards the dragon ball.

A purple crescent mark appeared between his eyebrows.

"Wow!"

A sacred force rushed out from the crescent mark and turned into a pillar of light, knocking the dragon ball backwards and hitting the ground with a huge roar.

The ground suddenly shook, and a huge pit appeared.

The golden flames melted the mud and rocks around the crater, turning it into a charred black mirror.

"Someone can actually shoot down the Dragon Ball!"

The expressions of all the soldiers of the Silver Sky Mercenary Group changed drastically. They could feel the power of that force just now.

The old man in gray robe stopped and stood in the void. He exuded an overwhelming aura, which condensed into waves of substantial air and fell from the sky.

The warriors from the Black Market and Yin Kong Mercenary Group were all suppressed and knelt on the ground.

Only a few people, including Di Yi, Zifeng Xingshi, and Yinyue Linkong, could still remain standing.

Zhang Ruochen immediately called back the dragon ball, held it above his head, and kept pumping his true energy into it. With the power of the dragon ball, he finally managed to resist the old man's momentum.

"Nascent Soul Old Demon."

Zhang Ruochen's expression changed, and he recognized the old man in gray robe standing in the air. He was the black market half-sage, Nascent Soul, who had rescued Emperor Yi in Tongming River.

The half-saint of the black market finally appears!

Di Yi frowned, clasped his hands into fists, and bowed: "Greetings to Elder Yuanying."

"Di Yi, you disappoint me. You actually failed against a mere Yin Kong mercenary group." Yuanying Old Demon's voice was a little harsh.

Although Di Yi is the young master and has a high status, after all, he is only at the Tianji realm. In front of the semi-saint, he can still only be regarded as a junior.

This operation against Yinyue Linkong was originally a black market experience for Di Yi and the Seven Evil Star Envoys. Although Nascent Soul Old Demon is also traveling with them, he can only take action when their lives are in danger.

Di Yi did not explain too much and said: "Elder, please give me another quarter of an hour. I will definitely capture Zhang Ruochen and Yinyue Linkong."

"There's no time! The strong men from the Ministry of War have arrived, it's time for us to leave!"

Nascent Soul Old Demon stared at Zhang Ruochen and Yinyue Linkong coldly, and said: "Today, you are lucky."

"call!"

He waved his sleeves, and suddenly, an icy hurricane blew from the east sky, flying Zhang Ruochen and the soldiers of the Yinkong Mercenary Group away.

"Pfft!"

Some warriors with low martial arts training were torn apart by the hurricane and turned into bloody bones.

Zhang Ruochen only felt the world spinning. When he landed on the ground again, all the monks in the black market had disappeared. The ground was full of broken corpses.

There are only seventeen soldiers of the Silver Sky Mercenary Group left alive.

The gorgeous buildings once built by the Silver Sky Mercenary Group have all turned into ruins. Those mercenary warriors died and were injured, and only seventeen warriors with strong cultivation survived, which can be said to be a heavy loss.

Of course, the Silver Sky Mercenary Group still has many mercenary soldiers performing missions outside. The soldiers lost today are equivalent to almost 30% of the entire mercenary group's combat strength.

"They actually escaped!"

Zhang Ruochen squeezed his fingers tightly, feeling a little regretful. If he could kill one or two Star Envoys, it would really hurt the black market.

Cultivating one Star Envoy costs more resources than cultivating a hundred Glazed Knights.

"I just saw the semi-saints appearing in the black market, why did they all suddenly disappear?" Tu Ling held the sword in the shape of a spiritual snake and took a deep breath, his legs still trembling.

Even a master of the "Heaven Ranking" like her would still tremble in front of a semi-saint and still feel extremely fearful.

"It must have been the Half-Saint who was in charge of the 31st City. He noticed the strange movement of the Yinkong Mercenary Group and rushed over. That's why the Nascent Soul Demon had to take the people from the black market and escape immediately." Zhang Ruochen thought in his mind. guess.

A heavenly eye appeared between Zhang Ruochen's eyebrows, looking at the sky above his head.

He saw two semi-holy auras turning into two pillars of light. While fighting, he rushed out of the 31st city and was quickly moving away.

The thirty-first city is a city where mercenaries gather. Not only are there many masters, but they are also full of conflicts and killings. It is normal for the imperial court to send a semi-saint to guard the city.

I just don’t know if that Half-Saint can keep the Nascent Soul Demon?

"Boom!"

Not long after, a group of sergeants wearing heavy black armor, riding tall beasts, rushed outside the Yinkong Mercenary Group and surrounded all intersections in the surrounding streets and alleys.

At the same time, a general wearing a red cape, riding a fourth-order wild beast elephant, entered the martial arts field of the Silver Sky Mercenary Group and communicated with Yin Yue Lin Kong.

"Master of the Silver Moon Group, the city lord asked me to tell you that the Yuanying old demon has fled with the black market masters. I am now leading the city guards to start clearing out the black market's hidden lines around the Silver Sky Mercenary Group."

Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen sighed.

The Yuanying old demon and Emperor Yi really escaped again.

Under the blessing of the relic, Zhang Ruochen gained powerful strength in a short period of time. However, when he put the relic away, a feeling of weakness emanated from his bone marrow.

That was the side effect of using the relic.

Zhang Ruochen took the dragon ball back into his body, and stopped listening to the conversation between Yin Yue Lin Kong and the general. He sat on the ground and began to practice the exercises and regulate his breath for recuperation.

As the true energy circulated throughout his body, Zhang Ruochen gradually resolved the feeling of weakness.

When Zhang Ruochen opened his eyes again, the city guards of the 31st city had already withdrawn and captured a large number of black market agents that were deployed around the Silver Sky Mercenary Group.

Di Yi dared to come to the 31st city in person to deal with the Silver Sky Mercenary Group, of course he had already arranged it for a long time.

Each agent was a chess piece of his.

The city guards removed these agents, which also caused the black market to suffer heavy losses. In the future, the black market's control over the 31st city will be greatly reduced.

"Zhang Ruochen, thank you for your help. If it weren't for you, the Silver Sky Mercenary Group would definitely be doomed. In the future, if you need anything, just send someone to pass on a message to the Silver Sky Mercenary Group. Even if it means going through fire and water, Yin Yue Lin Kong will definitely come to help."

Yin Yue Lin Kong walked to the opposite side of Zhang Ruochen, lowered her proud head, clasped her hands together, and bowed to Zhang Ruochen.

The wound on her lower abdomen had completely healed, and there was no scar left on her snow-white skin.

Of course, the external injuries were no longer visible. But internal injuries cannot be healed in a short time.

Even if she has cultivated the Glazed Body, it will take at least three days to recover to her peak state. Of course, it is precisely because she has cultivated the Glazed Body that she can survive such a serious injury.

If it were someone else, he would have died long ago.

Zhang Ruochen hurriedly said: "Master Yin Yue, you don't have to be polite. Di Yi is not only your enemy, but also my enemy. In the future, we will have many opportunities to cooperate."

This time, although the power of the first seal of the relic was used, the Blood Spirit King was also eliminated, and a strong man like Yin Yue Lin Kong was also met.

In general, the gains outweigh the losses.

Di Yi has the Seven Evil Star Envoys and Glazed Knights around him. Zhang Ruochen also has a few friends around him, but few can compete with the Seven Evil Star Envoys.

With Yin Yue Lin Kong as an ally, Zhang Ruochen will no longer be so alone in the future when fighting against Di Yi.

Yin Yue Lin Kong said: "This time, because of you, Di Yi's action failed. He will definitely not give up and will definitely send experts to deal with you. Let's do this! In the next half month, Nie Honglou will protect you until you officially enter the Holy Academy and become a saint."

Half a month later, Zhang Ruochen will be able to officially enter the Holy Academy for training. No matter how strong the black market is, it will not dare to go to the Holy Academy to kill people.

Nie Honglou is the deputy leader of the Yinkong Mercenary Group and a strong man of the sixth transformation of the Fish Dragon. He can fight with two Glazed Knights alone, which shows how strong he is.

With his protection, Zhang Ruochen will not be in any danger as long as he does not encounter masters of the level of Purple Wind Star Envoy and Yin Yue Lin Kong.

Zhang Ruochen not only saved Yin Yue Lin Kong, but also saved Nie Honglou. Of course, Nie Honglou was very grateful to Zhang Ruochen. Hearing Yin Yue Lin Kong's arrangement, he had no objection.

After a night's rest, Zhang Ruochen and Nie Honglou recovered from their injuries.

The next morning, they walked out of the 31st city and returned to the 7th city.

As soon as he returned to the seventh district, Zhang Ruochen met the foreign affairs elder of the Holy Sword Land, Lu Youcai.

Lu Youcai was bloated, wearing gorgeous black and gold armor, with a round belly and squinting eyes. He had been waiting at the Wushi Inn for a long time.

He was sitting on a jade armchair. When he saw Zhang Ruochen coming in, he immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, the matter you asked me to do has already been completed!"

"So fast!" Zhang Ruochen's face showed joy.

Lu Youcai glanced at Nie Honglou beside Zhang Ruochen, showing a hint of surprise, and said: "I guess this is the mercenary master hired by Brother Zhang in the 31st city, the deputy leader of the Silver Sky Mercenary Group."

"Nie Honglou." Nie Honglou said.

Lu Youcai nodded, no longer looking at Nie Honglou, and got back to the point, saying, "Yesterday, Brother Zhang asked me to help buy a mansion in the seventh district. Today, someone wants to transfer a mansion where a semi-saint once lived at a low price, only 100 million spirit crystals. Brother Zhang, do you want to go and take a look? The owner of that semi-saint's former residence is a senior sage, and she also wants to meet you."
