Chapter 2432: Lord Wu Yue

“Greetings, Lady Scioness.”

All the saint guards below the Supreme Saint Realm knelt on one knee.

Even the Destiny Guards of the Supreme Saint Realm bowed slightly to show their respect.

No matter what, the Scioness represented the twelve Reverends.

Pan Ruo wore a veil and her hair swayed in the wind. She had a mysterious temperament. Her feet left the ground slightly and stepped on the water of the Nether River. Even though her cultivation was still shallow, she still gave off a powerful aura. No one dared to underestimate her.

Commander Cerberus knew that Pan Ruo and Zhang Ruochen had a deep grudge. He was delighted, he cupped his fists and said, “Lady Scioness, Zhang Ruochen is arrogant because of his talent. He used the reputation of Fukurokuju and the Xue Jue family to disregard the laws of the Fane of Destiny. Not only did he barge into the sacred mountain, but he also killed two saint guards. He should be punished according to the law.”

Pan Ruo stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, “Is what Commander Cerberus said true?”

Zhang Ruochen replied, “No.”

“I saw it with my own eyes. How dare you quibble? Men, take him down!” Commander Cerberus shouted angrily.

“Wait,” said Pan Ruo.

Pan Ruo reached out a hand to stop the saint guards and slowly walked into Commander Cerberus’s Precept Domain.

Commander Cerberus naturally didn’t dare to use the Precept Domain to suppress the Scioness. He quickly withdrew the nine Ghost Cities into his body. His three pairs of eyes shone with a strange light.

Why did this new Scioness stop him from dealing with Zhang Ruochen?

Commander Cerberus could not see through it. He really could not see through it.

The pressure on Zhang Ruochen’s body lifted. He put away the Profound Spatial Dimension, Null Time realm, and the Realm-frame of Truth. However, his left leg was still burning with divine fire. Ordinary Supreme Saints could not get close.

“Why did you kill the saint guards?” Pan Ruo asked.

The two of them were less than three meters apart. Pan Ruo stood at the edge of the divine fire. She could only block it with the water of the Nether River.

Zhang Ruochen stared into her eyes and said, “I didn’t kill them.”

“Do you think I’m blind? The Mystic Eye of Myriad Realms have been hanging on Mount Destiny. Everything you’ve done has been reflected,” Commander Cerberus said in a deep voice.

“You’ve all seen it,” Zhang Ruochen stated calmly. “My leg is divine. It’s far too powerful. I have no control over its power. It’s all their fault. The two saint guards’ cultivations are too low, but they dare to be so close to me. So I didn’t kill them. They’re pleading for death.”

The surrounding saint guards were enraged by Zhang Ruochen’s arrogance. They groaned.

Their killing intent condensed into a thick cloud.

Zhang Ruochen looked at Commander Cerberus, he asked, “Are you sure you want to meet the Mystic Eye of Myriad Realms? I wonder what crime a Saint King has committed for insulting the Supreme Saint in the Fane of Destiny. Moreover, he is insulting the honorable guest of the Fane of Destiny.”

Zhang Ruochen raised his palm, revealing the Destiny Token, as he said that.

Swish

The saint guards had just stood up when they immediately knelt down.

Commander Cerberus’s proud and burly body also bent down and bowed to Zhang Ruochen.

“Since Zhang Ruochen has the Destiny Token, it’s not considered breaking into Mount Destiny. Commander Cerberus, do you still want to pursue this matter?” asked Pan Ruo.

Commander Cerberus lowered his head and said, “Not anymore. Master Ruochen is innocent.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “I want to see Fortune Palace’s Black Robe High Priest.”

“Since I’m going to Fortune Palace, do you want to go with me?” Pan Ruo asked.

“Of course, I’d like to go with you.”

Zhang Ruochen activated the Armor of the Fire God again and absorbed the divine fire into it. He followed Pan Ruo to the depths of the sacred mountain, leaving a group of saint guards who looked at each other.

“What’s going on? Lady Scioness is helping Zhang Ruochen?”

“Zhang Ruochen is too arrogant. He obviously doesn’t care about our Destiny Division. He’s even more domineering than the gods when he killed the saint guards on Mount Destiny. Nothing like this has happened in the last thousand years.”

“He has the Destiny Token and Fukurokuju as his backers. Naturally, he has the right to be arrogant.”

…

Commander Cerberus raised his head again and looked in the direction where Pan Ruo and Zhang Ruochen had left. There was no anger on his face. Instead, a smile of success appeared on his face.

Destiny Mountain looked like a mountain, but in fact, it couldn’t be called a mountain. It occupied a vast area with many domains and palaces.

Commander Cerberus came to the abode where Lord Wu Yue of the Destiny Division was. He recounted what had just happened.

Whoosh

A shadow of Lord Wu Yue passed through the stone door of the abode and formed in front of Commander Cerberus. It was a middle-aged man with two horns on his head and claws on his hands.

Although it was a shadow, the power it exuded was enough to make Commander Cerberus bow.

The Lords of Destiny of the Destiny Division were the most powerful beings below the divinity. They were responsible for managing all the saint guards. If something big happened, even the high priests of the twelve divine palaces could not control them.

Lord Wu Yue was not angry, but he was mighty. He said, “How dare Zhang Ruochen kill the saint guards of the Destiny Division in the sacred mountain?”

Commander Cerberus knew how powerful Lord Wu Yue was. He didn’t dare to hide anything from him, “Zhang Ruochen killed Her Highness Yanhong on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting,” he said indignantly. “It was because of this that the two Deathsworn Guards couldn’t help but offend him. Who knew that Zhang Ruochen had the Destiny Token and didn’t care about the Destiny Division at all? He killed people just like that on Mount Destiny.

“This time, the Destiny Division has completely lost face! Who knows how the Adjudication Division and the Divination Division will laugh at us.”

Lord Wu Yue glanced at Commander Cerberus and said, “The two Deathsworn Guards dare to provoke Zhang Ruochen? Or was it you who ordered them to do so?”

Commander Cerberus was shocked. He did not expect Lord Wu Yue’s insight to be so terrifying. Suddenly, his back bent even lower and said, “Zhang Ruochen was too presumptuous in the Infernal Court. Shouldn’t we teach him a lesson? He’s a cultivator from the Celestial Court. Who knows if he’s harboring evil intentions?”

Lord Wu Yue asked, “I heard you went to see Ling?”

THUMP!

Commander Cerberus knelt on one knee and said in a trembling voice, “This… this…”

“From the day you joined the Destiny Division, you should have known that you had to leave behind your Ghost identity. You can’t involve yourself in the battles between the ten clans anymore,” Lord Wu Yue said in a deep voice

“I understand, I understand,” said Commander Cerberus.

Commander Cerberus put his hands behind his back and took a deep breath. He looked at the dark sky and said, “You did meet me, so you can still keep your life. If it were any other Lord of Destiny, your soul would have perished.”

“Yes, my lord,” said Commander Cerberus.

“Go and Tell Ling that if he wants to use me to deal with Zhang Ruochen, don’t play such a low trick. If he angers me, the Ghost Master won’t be able to keep him alive.”

As soon as Lord Wu Yue said this, thunder sounded in the sky. Commander Cerberus’s body shrank in fear.

Lord Wu Yue was too terrifying. Even a Supreme Saint in the Banshi Isshou Realm felt a great pressure in front of him.

“However, Zhang Ruochen is far too arrogant. If the Destiny Division doesn’t teach him a lesson, I’m afraid the Adjudication and Divination Divisions will mock us. This I’ll leave to you!” Lord Wu Yue stated.

Commander Cerberus’s eyes lit up with joy. He thought to himself, it seems that what Ling said is true. This matter can indeed force Lord Wu Yue to act.

Commander Cerberus said, “This matter… is a bit difficult to handle…”

“Difficult to handle? You’re a Destiny Commander in the Banshi Isshou Realm. You’re dealing with a Supreme Saint in the Hundred-Shackle Realm, and you’re telling me it’s difficult to handle? What use do I have for you?”

Lord Wu Yue thought of something and smiled. “Do you really believe the rumors and think that Zhang Ruochen can reach the Paramount Realm?”

Commander Cerberus shook his head. “No matter how powerful Zhang Ruochen is, I’m not afraid. However, Her Highness Pan Ruo seems to be protecting him. I can’t do anything on Mount Destiny.”

Lord Wu Yue was surprised, “The new Scioness? That’s not right. I heard that they fought fiercely in the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. Moreover, on the day of the engagement, Zhang Ruochen also… Hmm… I see! This Scioness must not be taken lightly.”

“Lord Wu Yue, what do you think Her Highness Pan Ruo is trying to do?” Commander Cerberus asked.

“All fights can end because of common interests,” said Lord Wu Yue. “Zhang Ruochen is known as the number one genius of this Yuanhui period. If nothing goes wrong, he will soon become the ace powerhouse below the divinity.”

“There is no life-and-death conflict between Pan Ruo and him that can not be resolved. Why must they continue to fight? Why don’t we do Zhang Ruochen a favor now? Not only can we turn hostility into friendship, but we might even gain his strong support.”

Lord Wu Yue’s expression kept changing. He said, “Don’t deal with Zhang Ruochen for now.”

“Are we just going to let this go?”Commander Cerberus was a little anxious.

A gust of cold air was released from Lord Wu Yue. The world around him was completely covered in ice and snow, he said, “I almost made a wrong move just now because of you. Fortunately, Scioness Pan Ruo woke me up. If a person like Zhang Ruochen didn’t provoke me, he wouldn’t have a life-and-death grudge. There’s no need to make an enemy out of him. There are so many cultivators who want to deal with Zhang Ruochen. I won’t be someone else’s blade.”

…

In Mount Destiny, there was a Fortune palace that was guarded by the Black Robe High Priest.

Most of the disciples of the Fortune Palace who entered the sacred mountain to cultivate lived within a thousand miles of the Fortune Palace.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t see Fukurokuju. It was the Black Robe High Priest who had brought him to the top floor of the Fane of Destiny. The soul of the fane was the one bestowed Zhang Ruochen the Canon of Destiny.

0.003 percent of the Canon of Destiny entered his body. Zhang Ruochen suddenly felt that the surrounding Precepts of Destiny were all active and surging into his body.

The Precepts of Destiny in his body were increasing all the time.

Walking out of the fane, the Fortune Palace’s Black Robe High Priest said, “After mastering the Canon of Destiny, you are no different from a Master of Destiny. You have become one of the most suitable cultivators in the world to cultivate the Path of Destiny.”

“However, the Canon is something that only the gods can fully control. The Canon of the Path of Ancients is a treasure that can drive the gods crazy.”

“The whole world knows that you control 0.003 percent of the Canon. It’s good for you, but it will also bring you death.”

Lady Wind was protected by the 12 Reverends and was assassinated.

That was why the Fortune Palace’s Black Robe High Priest was deeply worried about Zhang Ruochen’s safety.

“Why don’t you cultivate for a while in Mount Destiny? It’s not too late to leave after you reach the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm,” the Fortune Palace’s Black Robe High Priest said.

Zhang Ruochen cupped his hands, “Thank you for your kindness, High Priest. If there really is a god who wants to assassinate me, I’ll still die if I reach the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm. I’m confident that I can protect myself if a cultivator below the divinity wants to kill me.”

The Fortune Palace Black Robe High Priest said solemnly, “Don’t underestimate a cultivator below the divinity. I haven’t reached divinity either, but I’m afraid it won’t be easy for you to escape from me.”

“I don’t dare to underestimate cultivators from all realms. I have to act cautiously.”

Since the Fortune Palace’s Black Robe High Priest cared about him and didn’t treat him as an outsider, Zhang Ruochen naturally accepted it humbly.

The Fortune Palace’s Black Robe High Priest had been worried that Zhang Ruochen would make countless enemies if he didn’t know how to restrain himself. Seeing that Zhang Ruochen had such a humble side, he nodded in satisfaction.

‘Luckily, Zhang Ruochen doesn’t resemble Wargod Bloodximius. Otherwise, he would probably die young,’ the Fortune Palace’s Black Robe High Priest thought.

Wargod Bloodximius dared to be so arrogant. He dared to fight against any powerhouse because he was an absolute cultivator of the Infernal Court. The big shots of the Infernal Court could absolutely trust him. They wouldn’t treat him as an enemy, much less kill him.

If Huang Tian dared to be so arrogant, he would have died long ago!

For a genius, before he became a god, his strength was a part of him. However, he still had to know how to behave. He could not be surrounded by enemies.

The Fortune Palace Black Robe High Priest asked, “Have you gone to The Ancient Ruins to choose a Destiny Treasure?”

“Not yet,” Zhang Ruochen said.

“Then when?”

“I want to comprehend the Canon of Destiny first. After I have a deeper understanding of the Path of Destiny, I will choose a suitable Destiny Treasure.”

The Fortune Palace’s Black Robe High Priest thought for a moment and said, “Come with me to the Fortune Palace! I will provide you an abode for yourself. You can slowly comprehend it there.”

“Thank you, High Priest,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Returning to the Fortune Palace, Zhang Ruochen followed a white-robed priest to Lake Abode.

In the palace.

The Fortune Palace’s Black Robe High Priest looked at Pan Ruo, who was sipping tea on the right chair. He smiled and said, “Sorry to keep you waiting, Your Highness. May I know why you are here?”

As he spoke, the High Priest sat on the chair at the side.

Pan Ruo held the teacup. The tea in the teacup was steaming hot.

The tea leaves were gifts from the Rakshasas. It was said that the leaves were from Kunlun. Drinking this tea could help cultivators comprehend the Path.

Pan Ruo said, “The assassination of Fuurei is a disgrace to the entire Fane of Destiny. Seven of the twelve Reverends have passed down a divine order at the same time. We must investigate this matter thoroughly and wipe out the Avīci Pavilion. I am too young to be convinced by the masses. However, you are highly respected and I admire you. I wonder if you have any good suggestions?”

Pan Ruo was able to catch the eyes of the Reverend. The Fortune Palace’s Black Robe High Priest wouldn’t dare to underestimate her.

He smiled and said, “Although the seven Reverends have given two orders, we can completely ignore the first one. After all, if even the Reverends can’t find any results, how can we possibly do it?”

“In my opinion, our focus should be on the matter of wiping out the Avīci Pavilion.”

“However, the Fortune Palace is not in charge of external battles. I think that Her Highness Pan Ruo should first discuss with the ten Lords of Destiny of the Destiny Division and the ten Great Adjudicators of the Adjudication Division. The Fortune Palace can mobilize the force of the Realm of Star Ocean to collect intelligence and information about the Avīci Pavilion as assistance.

“In addition, His Highness can also go to the fanes of the ten clans. Every clan should contribute to the fight against the Avīci Pavilion.”

Pan Ruo had anticipated that despite her cultivation and experience, she would be unable to summon the high priests of the twelve divine palaces to Fortune Palace’s Black Robe High Priest. It was merely a formality.

She had to let all the cultivators of the Fane of Destiny know that she was really working hard on this matter.
