Zhang Ruochen couldn’t bear to send Han Xue on the extremely dangerous road. After all, she was just a kid.

Nobody knew whether the road would lead her to survival or death.

He walked to Han Xue and hugged her tightly. After a while, he moved his arms and took out a leaf shaped into a “kylin.” He pierced the leaf with a string, and put the leaf around Han Xue’s neck.

This leaf was from Seven Star Sacred Tuber, whose value almost equaled that of the phoenix leaf which could bring a human back to life.

It was said that wearing the kylin leaf could change one’s misfortune to good fortune. Zhang Ruochen chose to believe it, no matter if it was true or not.

Zhang Ruochen tapped on Han Xue’s little head, and said, “I hope that when we meet again, your cultivation will have surpassed mine.” He paused and added, “You must come back alive.”

Han Xue touched the kylin leaf gently with her fingers. She blinked and nodded with seriousness.

“Zhang Ruochen, I don’t know if I can survive this time, so you will still be the master of the Taotian Sword. You should go to the Pluto Sword Tomb,” Sword Saint Xuanji instructed.

It seemed that he had meant something else in his words.

Even if Sword Saint Xuanji didn’t tell him to, Zhang Ruochen would go to the Pluto Sword Tomb anyway.

Immortal Vampires schemed incessantly to release Pluto. How could Zhang Ruochen let them?

Sword Saint Xuanji walked to the Netherworld Depths with Han Xue, and disappeared in ghost fog.

Zhang Ruochen, Mu Lingxi, Blackie and the demon rat walked in the totally opposite way to Kunlun’s Field.

They had spent half a month to travel to the edge of Corpse River.

The water in Corpse River was turbid, giving out icy cold Qi of death. Corpses floated on the water’s surface. And dead souls were rushing to the other side of the river over the river’s surface.

There were many shadow soldiers and ghost generals entering into Kunlun’s Field every second.

“What will the Yin and Yang Sect and the East Region look like now?”

Zhang Ruochen frowned and sighed heavily.

Mu Lingxi knew that Zhang Ruochen had special feelings for the Yin and Yang Sect, so she said, “Yin and Yang Sect has been passed on for a long time. Even the Catastrophe in ancient times didn’t vanquish it. The Ghost Kings from the Netherworld Periphery couldn’t destroy the Yin and Yang Sect.”

“I hope not.”

Zhang Ruochen was alerted at this moment and gave a sharp look. He turned around rapidly, bent his ten fingers, and threw ten sword blades out together.

Hua!

Ten sword blades condensed into ten circles of energy ripple, which was 333 meters in diameter.

The giant palm print behind him was cracked by the attack of the ten sword blades, then turned into Holy Qi and dispersed.

“Get out!”

Zhang Ruochen withdrew his hands and shouted coldly.

“Who’s there?”

“How bold of you to make a surprise attack on your lord rat!”

Mu Lingxi, Blackie and the demon rat all put on their defensive looks. Mu Lingxi and Blackie even called their 36 battle corpses out, which lined up behind them in an orderly fashion to form two battle corpse legions.

A broken tomb gate beside Corpse River was slowly opened.

Yin Xuanji rode on the dragon corpse and walked out of the tomb gate. He gave a cold look, stared at Zhang Ruochen with haughtiness, and said, “Zhang Ruochen, I’ve waited for you for a long time.”

The Ghostly Qi in the air twisted a little.

A black shadow appeared from the air. She wore black clothes with patterns of water and a black veil, looking weird and mysterious at the same time.

It was the princess of the Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race, Feng Yinchan.

Six or seven other Half-Saints of the Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race and Ancient Necromancer Race walked out immediately after them, and circled Zhang Ruochen and his company at the center.

They couldn’t cross Corpse River, so they hid in the dark. Seeing that Sword Saint Xuanji didn’t travel along with Zhang Ruochen, they prepared to attack Zhang Ruochen together and beat him.

Only by controlling Zhang Ruochen could they get out of the netherworld.

Mu Lingxi sneered, “Yin Xuanji, Feng Yinchan, how dare you fight against Zhang Ruochen after your elders have died? If I were you, I would kneel down and surrender earnestly. Maybe Zhang Ruochen would agree to take you back to Kunlun’s Field.”

Feng Yinchan stood in a cloud of ghostly Qi opposite Mu Lingxi. Her form appeared indistinctly, and she said lightly, “If we make you surrender, won’t we be able to leave the netherworld as well?”

Yin Xuanji said sternly, “You can’t get out of here on account of the strength of the Ancient Necromancer Race and the Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race.”

The older Half-Saints of the Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race and the Ancient Necromancer Race were truly powerful and had high cultivation. Any of them could win a name in the world. Compared to them, Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi were too young and their cultivations weren’t high enough.

But Zhang Ruochen was still calm, and didn’t mean to fight.

He shook his head lightly and smiled, “You are the ones who can’t get out of here.”

“Really?” Yin Xuanji sneered.

He had confirmed several times that Sword Saint Xuanji was not with Zhang Ruochen on their way back to Kunlun’s Field. So how could Zhang Ruochen fight against them?

An extremely seductive voice was heard from ghost fog. “You guys of the Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race and Ancient Necromancer Race are really bold. Don’t you know that to fight against Zhang Ruochen is to fight against me?”

Red Wish Emissary flew in the air in sexy red cloths. She landed at the top of a tombstone nearby. A pair of white legs were exposed out of her long dress, looking extremely attractive.

All monks of the Black Market Excellence Hall walked out and appeared at the foot of the tombstone.

The noise of savage beasts running was heard on the ground. And the land trembled with a rumbling noise.

In a short while, several Half-Saints led by Bu Qianfan appeared at the side of Corpse River. They wore armor and rode on savage beasts, circling Yin Xuanji and Feng Yinchan at the center with hostility.

Other forces walked out from the dark immediately after them. Some were from families of saints, and some were from old households. There were also forces that Zhang Ruochen had never heard of nor dealt with.

All the monks stood on Zhang Ruochen’s side. With just his word, they would rush to attack the monks from the Ancient Ghost Cultivation Race and Ancient Necromancer Race and bombard them into dust.

As they were all trapped in the netherworld, only Zhang Ruochen could save their lives and take them back to Kunlun’s Field.

So if there was a chance for them to show kindness and loyalty to Zhang Ruochen, they would definitely take it.

Whoever was an enemy of Zhang Ruochen would become their enemy.

Although the looks on Feng Yinchan and Yin Xuanji couldn’t be seen, it could easily be guessed that they looked terrible.

Yin Xuanji gritted his teeth and said to Red Wish Star Emissary, “Zhang Ruochen was the sworn enemy of the Black Market. Even if you helped them, he wouldn’t help you out of the netherworld. How about we work together to beat him, and force him to take us out of the netherworld?”

Red Wish Star Emissary grinned and showed her white teeth. She wasn’t moved by his words.

For she knew Zhang Ruochen well enough that he preferred kindness over suppression. Anyone who had ever attempted to threaten him had ended badly.

Feng Yinchan looked to the people of the Ministry of War, and said, “Zhang Ruochen was a felony criminal wanted by the imperial government. Don’t you worry that the government would punish you if you helped him? Why don’t you work with us and arrest Zhang Ruochen? After we return to Kunlun’s Field, Zhang Ruochen will be all yours. I believe if you could escort Zhang Ruochen back to the Central Emperor City, you would be greatly rewarded.”

It had to be said that Yin Xuanji and Feng Yinchan were very clever. They understood clearly that the power of the Black Market and the Ministry of War were the strongest among all forces.

As long as they could ally with one of them, they would take the upper hand. And other forces would have to follow and turn to them, and attack Zhang Ruochen with full strength.

Zhang Ruochen was the criminal wanted by the Empress. Anyone who could arrest him would surely be rewarded.
