Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bai Qing’er, dressed in a thick, jujube-red robe, stepped onto the stargazing platform and appeared before everyone’s eyes in the face of the cold, drifting snow.

Her gentle and charming appearance made her look like a young girl who had read a lot of poetry and books. She was delicate and did not have the domineering aura of a cultivator at all. She also did not have the demeanor of a lady from the Enchanteur Chamber. However, this delicate, quiet, and elegant temperament was full of extreme attraction. Her beauty that could topple a country seemed to be able to seduce a man’s soul.

Bai Qing’er had always been very mysterious. This was the first time she revealed her true appearance in front of many cultivators.

Even though Zhang Ruochen, Yuan Qianmo, Zhuo Yunong, Ling, and Yanhuang Tu came from different clans. Each of them had seen countless top beauties and had a profound state of mind, but they were all attracted to her.

The moment she appeared, it was as if this place had become a peaceful place. All the conflicts and disputes disappeared.

“She’s Bai Qing’er, the daughter of Empress Bai and Huang Tian? She’s too beautiful. Just her looks alone can be considered a weapon to kill.” Ling sighed with admiration.

Huo Xing said, “No wonder Wuma Yuanxing challenged Zhuo Yunong to stand up for her. She’s indeed a beauty.”

“In the past, Empress Bai was a woman who could compete with the Moon Goddess. Many gods had courted her when they were young. As her daughter, it’s not a big deal to look like this,” Yan Huangtu said.

…

Bai Qing’er walked toward Zhang Ruochen with a bamboo slip in her hand. She had a faint scent of books on her. “Master Ruochen, we meet again after we parted in the Divine Domain of Destiny!”

Zhang Ruochen glanced at the bamboo slip in her hand, and his eyes suddenly shrank.

He was very familiar with the handwriting on the bamboo slip.

Zhang Ruochen collected his thoughts. He said, “Didn’t we just meet at Ji Feng Manor not long ago? “I almost died at Lady Bai’s hands. Have you forgotten? Also, in the Divine Domain of Destiny, Lady Bai wanted to kill me to silence me. I was lucky to escape. Therefore, I didn’t really want to see you again.”

Bai Qing’er said calmly, “You and that Seven-Armed Elder stole the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin in the House of Enchanteurs and made the Enchanteur Chamber a target. I just want to get the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin back.”

Zhang Ruochen was very clear. He said, “First of all, I don’t know who the Seven-Armed Elder is. How can I cooperate with him?

“Second, only the House of Enchanteurs and the 17 forces know where the five supreme-class Divine Crystals of Origin are stored. Even if I wanted to steal them, I wouldn’t have the chance.

“Third, your cultivation is extremely high, and you have a spatial jade turtle at the Paramount Realm with you. It should be easier for you to steal the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin.

“You’re a beauty, and a beautiful person shouldn’t frame other people?”

The cultivators present were all shrewd people. Hearing Zhang Ruochen’s words, doubts arose in their hearts.

“Was there really a turtle proficient in the Path of Dimension beside Bai Qing’er?”

“And it has reached the Paramount Realm?”

Without waiting for Bai Qing’er to speak, Zhang Ruochen said again, “Everyone, please don’t be deceived by her beautiful appearance. Her cultivation is very powerful, and there are also many powerhouses in the Enchanteur Chamber. I’m afraid some of the major forces present might not be able to compete with her.”

Bai Qing’er sighed and said, “The Enchanteur Chamber has 180 branches. Every cultivator in the Infernal Court knows where each House of Enchanteur is. How could we dare to be enemies with the major forces?

“Everyone knows that the Enchanteur Chamber never takes part in any fights. We know better than anyone that we don’t have the strength to fight for the Fane of Origin, so we won’t do such a thing.

“Besides, when Tan Fei blew up his Sainthood Source, he almost destroyed the entire House of Enchanteurs. For the sake of the illusory Fane of Origin, which may not even exist, the Enchanteur Chamber wouldn’t go that far.

“However, Master Ruochen has done the same crazy thing many times.”

Bai Qing’er had a point there.

None of The cultivators present believed that the Enchanteur Chamber had the guts to make an enemy of the 17 forces. Once the matter was exposed, the 17 forces’ anger would explode, and their 180 branches would be wiped out.

In the end, it was because the people didn’t care about the Enchanteur Chamber.

How much threat could a group of women who relied on their beauty pose?

Zhuo Yunong sat on the chair and said, “Zhang Ruochen, since you know so much, why didn’t you say it when you were in the Divine Domain of Destiny?”

Zhang Ruochen said, “I did see Bai Qing’er and Cang Baizi kill Seven-Armed Elder and Xing Qian. However, my cultivation was low, so I wasn’t sure what I saw was the truth.

“What if a cultivator with strong cultivation changed into their appearance and deliberately misled me?

“Besides, Lord Judge was obviously targeting me. I was very suspicious that you and Lady Bai had some shady deal. How could the Enchanteur Chamber dare to offend the 17 forces if there was no strong backing?”

Hearing this, Zhuo Yunong’s eyes turned into two divine light swords and gazed at Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen pressed his palm, and the Destiny Token appeared. It emitted a dazzling Light of Destiny and blocked his two divine light swords.

Although Zhuo Yunong was furious, he didn’t dare to attack the Destiny Token. He quickly withdrew his eyes, “Since you have the Destiny Token, you’d better not do anything to damage the reputation of the Fane of Destiny. Otherwise, the token won’t be able to protect your life,” he said.

Zhang Ruochen said, “I did not damage the reputation of the Fane of Destiny. I am simply suspicious of your Adjudication Division.”

Zhang Ruochen’s words were both in response to Zhuo Yunong and Bai Qing’er.

“The Enchanteur Chamber claimed that you don’t dare to be enemies with the 17 forces?

“But with the support of the Adjudication Division, why wouldn’t you dare?”

When the Adjudication Division went to capture Zhang Ruochen, it was indeed a little too fast. The cultivators present must have already suspected it. Zhang Ruochen just gave them more guidance.

Guye Jing looked at Zhang Ruochen with her beautiful eyes. She thought, ‘I didn’t expect this guy to have such a sharp tongue. He actually has the upper hand.’

Bai Qing’er said, “Someone told me before that you don’t like to play chess. You think the chess game is too complicated and the arrangements are too tiring. Only a scheming person would study it. Now it seems that what you said is wrong. I think you are quite scheming.”

Zhang Ruochen remembered that he had said this before.

However, very few people knew about it.

How did Bai Qing’er know about it?’

Thinking of the words on the bamboo slip in her hand, Zhang Ruochen had an answer in his heart. He could not help but clench his teeth. This woman was unforgivable.

‘I had already killed Supreme Saint Manjian. Am I going to watch my teacher die in the Infernal Court?’

As Zhang Ruochen and Bai Qing’er looked at each other, Ling walked out and said, “Just now, Supreme Saint Ruochen said that Cang Baizi and Lady Bai joined hands to kill Xing Qian and the Seven-Armed Elder. I’m curious. Cang Baizi is an elder of the Hall of Permanence. How could he know Lady Bai?”

Zhang Ruochen knew very well that Bai Qing’er had deliberately threatened him with Shangguan Que to shut him up.

However, Zhang Ruochen did not like being threatened. He also knew that as long as he still had the Seven-Armed Elder and the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin, Bai Qing’er would never kill Shangguan Que.

In that case, what else was there to worry about?

Today, he would tell them all of Bai Qing’er’s secrets. It was one thing, whether they believed it or not, as long as they had doubts about her.

Zhang Ruochen said, “It seems you don’t know that Cang Baizi has long been reduced to Lady Bai…”

He was halfway through.

Zhang Ruochen suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body. An unprecedented crisis of death arose in the Heart of Truth. So, he used all his strength to activate the Armor of the Fire God, the Wargod Belt, the Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light, and the Divine Blood Mail.

In an instant, four layers of defense were formed.

He knew how dangerous this trip was, so he put on all the defensive armor in advance.

BANG!

A crystal arrow flew out of nowhere and hit Zhang Ruochen’s chest.

Zhang Ruochen’s body flew out like a cannonball. He crashed through the array light wall of the stargazing platform. He flew dozens of miles away, colliding with the array of light walls of every street in Enchanton.

BANG! BANG!

Zhang Ruochen crashed through dozens of layers of array light walls and fell to the ground. His body was submerged in ruins.

None of The cultivators had expected such a turn of events. They were all shocked and held up their Precept Domains and artifacts, afraid of following in Zhang Ruochen’s footsteps.

An unnoticeable smile flashed in Bai Qing’er’s eyes. Then she exclaimed, “The Arrow of Deva Path. It’s Fu Xiang’s Arrow of Deva Path.”

Yes, it was indeed the Arrow of Deva Path.

All the cultivators turned their eyes to Yan Huangtu.

What are the Yanluo clan plotting?’

How could they kill Zhang Ruochen? Did they want to take the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin for themselves?’

No one believed that Zhang Ruochen could survive the Arrow of Deva Path. After all, not everyone was Wuma Jiuxing.

“Who did it? Who did It? I’ll kill you!”

Blackie let out a long, ear-splitting roar. His body exploded with a wave-like saint might. Eternal Flame surged out, forming a vast sea of fire.

The owl-like body underwent a heaven-cleansing change. It grew a crimson tail. It spread its wings. Precept marks flowed on it. Every feather turned into divine fire.

Blackie was furious. It was about to fly toward where Zhang Ruochen had fallen.

Suddenly, someone cried, “Everyone, look at the sky.”

Everyone looked up.

They saw a talisman dozens of miles long in the blood-cloud-covered sky. It broke through the clouds and sank down.

The talisman was dark purple. Purple thunder shuttled above it.

At the center of the talisman, thunder and lightning interwoven into a fane, headless Buddhas, world trees, heavenly halberds, primordial chaos hammers, and so on. It was a shocking form.

Yan Zhexian, wearing a talisman robe and disguising her appearance, had already lost all color on her face. She exclaimed, “It’s a divine talisman refined by an Archsaint Talisman Master, the Heavenly Retribution Talisman. Once this talisman is used, even the pseudo gods will have to retreat. If everyone makes a move together, we will only have a chance of protecting Enchanton… No, only then will we have a chance of surviving.”

They could completely escape if they were in another place with Zhuo Yunong, Yuan Qianmo, and the other cultivation bases.

However, they were in Enchanton now. There were layers of arrays blocking them. No matter how fast they were, they couldn’t escape.
