When they looked over, they were stunned. They were no longer angry but obsessed.
In the corner of the second floor of the Star Hall, there was an enchanting woman wearing sheer red gauze.
Her snow-white feet were bare as she sat on a chair, revealing her slim calves and round thighs, looking very sexy.
She was the one who had just spoken.
The red gauze was so thin, her snow-white skin and graceful figure could be seen faintly. It was very seductive.
In terms of beauty, she was equally matched with Ao Xinyan.
However, when Wei Second Son and Fourth Son looked at her, they found it impossible to look away – as if she had taken their souls.
Wei Eldest Son’s will was a little stronger so he remained rational, with a flicker of doubt in his heart.
“When did this woman come to the Star Hall?”
Wei Eldest Son was absolutely sure that there was nobody sitting there when he had thrown the Phoenix Needle at Ao Xinyan.
In a flash, she had mysteriously appeared in front of the crowd without anyone noticing.
“What terrifying cultivation is this?”
Wei Eldest Son pulled back Wei Second Son and Fourth Son who were walking toward the woman in red, fearing they would offend her.
Wei Eldest Son stared at the woman with fists clenched, saying, “What did the lady mean just now?”
She blinked her eyes and chuckled, saying, “Don’t you know that the man and the woman sitting before you are Saints of the Eastern Region Saint Academy?”
Zhang Ruochen looked at her and mobilized his Spiritual Power to open his Sky Eye and see through her sorcery.
“Red Wish Emissary. Why did she come to the Myriad Chaos Mountain?”
Zhang Ruochen closed his Sky Eye and pondered.
This enchanting woman sitting in the corner was the youngest Emissary of the Black Market Excellence Hall, Red Wish Emissary.
Although she had concealed her true appearance with sorcery, she didn’t fool Zhang Ruochen.
“They are Saints?”
Wei Eldest Son was very shocked.
Saints were the most outstanding talents trained by the Martial Market Bank. They would become its high-level leaders in the future.
Provoking the powerful and influential Martial Market Bank was something the Wei family could not afford to do.
As Red Wish Emissary had implied, if they dared to sleep with a Saint, they would bring disaster to their family.
Cold sweat gathered on Wei Eldest Son’s forehead and he began shaking. He looked at the Holy Sword in his hands, ready to give it back.
Red Wish Emissary suddenly sneered and said, “Don’t you think it is too late to return the Holy Sword by now?
“Then … what can I do?” Wei Eldest Son said with fear.
Red Wish Emissary laughed. “Don’t be afraid. If the Wei family seeks refuge with me, I can protect you from the Martial Market Bank. You will not only obtain a Holy Sword, but also a beauty and a powerful backer. It’s a big win for the Weis!”
Wei Eldest Son looked at Red Wish Emissary and asked, “Are you strong enough to fight the Martial Market Bank?”
“Of course.”
“Why should I believe you?”
“Because of this.”
The expression of Red Wish Emissary’s eyes became sharp and her body exuded a strong aura. She took out a scarlet token and placed it on the table.
“Black Market Excellence Hall.”
Seeing the words on the token, Wei Eldest Son, Second Son, and Fourth Son all trembled and knelt on the ground.
Warriors were more afraid of the Black Market than the Martial Market Bank.
After all, the Martial Market Bank was a righteous force. No matter how strong it was, it would consider the consequences and leave some room to maneuver whenever it did anything – they would not go overboard.
On the other hand, the Black Market had no scruples. For those who offended it, death was the kindest sentence. They had so many more punishments worse than death.
Red Wish Emissary said, “The person you just plotted against isn’t an ordinary Saint. She’s not only a Half-Saint disciple of the Saint Academy but also the princess of the Divine Dragon half-human clan. You really have no other way to go but to seek refuge with me. Do you have any objection?”
The three Wei brothers looked at each other and saw the fear in each other’s eyes.
Finally, they kowtowed and said, “We would like to pledge our loyalty to you.”
“Rumble!”
The deafening sound of iron heels was heard from outside the Star Hall.
Eighteen Glazed Knights came to a stop outside the Ten Thousand Fields Tavern and jumped from savage beasts’ backs with Dragon Bone Spears in their hands. They walked into the gate one by one and entered the first floor of the Star Hall.
“All hail, Red Wish Emissary.”
All the 18 Glazed Knights were in the Completion of Heaven Realm. They wore colored glaze armors that allowed them to burst out with the power of cultivators of the First Change in the Fish-dragon Realm.
They knelt down simultaneously and shouted with one voice.
“What? She is the Red Wish Emissary of the Black Market Excellence Hall!”
“Why did she bring 18 Glazed Knights here? What on earth is happening?”
The impact of the 18 strong auras left all the warriors in the Star Hall feeling suffocated. They knew that for the people of the Black Market Excellence Hall to come here, there was something strange afoot.
The three Wei Brothers were also surprised. They never thought that the woman in front of them could be so important. No wonder she claimed that she could contend with the Martial Market Bank.
At the same time, they were also quite excited.
If the Wei family could seek refuge with the Red Wish Emissary, would they still be afraid of not being able to prosper in the future?
Red Wish Emissary smiled winningly. “Get up, everyone. Wei Eldest Son, the Holy Sword can be yours, and the woman on the floor, you may take away. But, whether you can take the sword and the woman all depends on your skills.”
She was looking at Zhang Ruochen as she spoke.
Wei Eldest Son followed her gaze. When his eyes fell on Zhang Ruochen his face became cold. “Your Excellency, Red Wish Emissary, rest assured. He’s just a young Saint! I, Wei Eldest Son, can deal with him.”
With the support of Red Wish Emissary, Wei Eldest Son feared nothing.
As long as he killed the man, he could take the Holy Sword and the beauty. Was there a better deal in the world?
Red Wish Emissary laughed and said, “Don’t say I didn’t warn you that the man sitting before you is the No. 1 of the Eastern Region Saint Academy this year. Known as the king of the new generation, he is called Zhang Ruochen.”
Wei Eldest Son was not an Eastern Region warrior, so he was not familiar with Zhang Ruochen’s name.
In his point of view, no matter how talented he was, Zhang Ruochen was still just a 20-year-old man. How strong could he possibly be?
Zhang Ruochen glanced at Wei Eldest Son and sighed, saying, “Red Wish Emissary, why do you want to bring me into this??”
Red Wish Emissary laughed and said, “Zhang Ruochen, if Wei Eldest Son wants to take away the woman on the ground, will you stand idly by? She came to the Myriad Chaos Mountain chasing you.”
“You’re right. I can’t just stand by.”
Zhang Ruochen looked at Ao Xinyan on the ground and discovered that her lips had turned pale blue, an indication that she had been deeply poisoned. From a distance, he stretched out one hand to condense a current of Genuine Qi and exerted power on her back to roll her up.
Although she was poisoned and could not move, she had not passed out and her mind was clear.
“Zhang Ruochen, I … I don’t need you to save me!”
Ao Xinyan’s face was pale, but she was still very arrogant.
As he lifted her up, she kept struggling, wanting to use her own power to refine the poison herself.
Zhang Ruochen had known she would be like this, which was why he didn’t try to be nice and help her earlier.
He wanted to see if she could refine the poison by herself.
However, he discovered that she had not only failed to refine the poison in her meridians, the toxicity had gotten worse. The current of poisonous gas had already rushed to her brain and was about to enter her Qi Sea.
Once the poisonous gas entered her Qi Sea, she would lose all her cultivation.
Therefore, despite her ungratefulness, he still lifted her up and prepared to cure her.
“Zhang… Zhang Ruochen … you … if you dare … touch me … I’ll cut your hand off …” Ao Xinyan said feebly.
She had resented Zhang Ruochen and had seen him as an opponent ever since she lost to him. Even in her desperation, she would not let him help her.
Ignoring her words, Zhang Rouchen put his index finger and middle finger together and struck the junction of Ao Xinyan’s nine meridians.
Meanwhile, golden Qi of Saint Dragon flew from his fingertips and turned into nine filaments of light, attacking the nine nodes.
The Qi of Saint Dragon refined the poison.
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen was helping Ao Xinyan refine the poison, Wei Eldest Son’s face lit up and he grinned hideously. “Faced with impending death, you still want to be the hero and rescue the beauty. Second and Fourth Brothers, let’s handle him together.”
They attacked almost at the same time, hitting Zhang Ruochen’s head, chest, and legs respectively.
Zhang Ruochen glanced at them and released the Celestial Bodyshield, forming a five-meter-diameter green ball.
The three Wei Brothers hit the green ball and were thrown back by the Genuine Qi.
Wei Eldest Son was strong enough to resolve the power with just a step backward, however, the power of the Celestial Bodyshield sent Wei Second Son and Fourth Son flying through the air, falling embarrassingly.
Zhang Ruochen said, “If you don’t want to die, get the hell out of here.”
“Not bad, boy.”
With a sullen look, Wei Eldest Son held the Bluewater Dragon Patterned Sword tightly and injected his Genuine Qi into the blade to activate the inscription.
“Go to your death!”
With a roar, he grabbed the sword with both hands and thrust it out. Using the mighty power of the Holy Sword, he pierced through Zhang Ruochen’s Celestial Bodyshield and stabbed toward the heart.
