Chapter 2554: Flushing the “Snake” Out

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jesse, the Emperor of the Wulvers, was an elite in Paramount Realm. He was over 20,000 years old, but his was still strong, and his legs were thick. Standing in front of Zhang Ruochen, he was like a steel mountain.

Zhang Ruochen, who disguised as Yan Huangtu, was discussing a private matter with Jesse.

Apart from the two, only three Supreme Saints from the Wulvers were present in the stone chamber.

The three Supreme Saints from the Wulvers were:

Jesse’s younger brother, Supreme Saint Kuntong.

The commander of the guards of the Wulvers’ sacred land, Mu Huang.

The general manager of the Wulvers’ sacred land, Jiushou Bailang.

Jesse laughed loudly. “This place is protected by Divine Marks carved by the gods. The cultivators present in this secret chamber are all trustworthy. Yan Huangtu, you can speak freely if you have any secret matters to discuss.”

Zhang Ruochen imitated Yan Huangtu’s gaze and glanced at the people present. He said in a deep voice, “This time, I’m representing Yanluo Clan to discuss cooperation with the Wulvers. I want to do something big.”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t waste any more time. He took out the supreme-grade Divine Crystal of Origin and placed it on the table.

The four Supreme Saints were all first-class figures with rich experience. They released their spiritual power to probe for a bit before letting out cries of surprise.

“Is that a supreme-grade Divine Crystal of Origin?”

“Goodness, only the god-level Masters of Origin can condense supreme-grade Divine Crystals of Origin. Could it really be that the Fane of Origin is about appear?”

…

After they calmed down, Zhang Ruochen said thoughtfully, “It’s not a coincidence that the Light of Origin appeared in the Royal City of Hundred Clans. In fact, the Fane of Origin is about to appear. Yanluo Clan has already investigated this matter clearly.

“Everyone knows that the Fane of Origin is in Night Ocean, the sacred land of the Yakshas, but no one can enter. To obtain the Fane of Origin, we can only do it by force.”

Supreme Saint Kuntong and Mu Huang were both moved. Their eyes were burning as they stared at Jesse sitting above them.

This was the Fane of Origin. Even if the Wulvers got ten to twenty percent of the benefits, it would increase the strength of their force. Some of them could even take this chance to ascend.

A deep look flashed through Jiushou Bailang’s eyes. He shook his head and said, “The Yakshas are the number one clan in the Royal City of Hundred Clans. They’re several times stronger than the Wulvers. It’s easier said than done to seize them.”

Zhang Ruochen looked over and said, “With Yanluo Clan’s support, do you not even have this bit of courage?”

Jiushou Bailang said, “If Yanluo Clan can dispatch a large army of saints to the Royal City of Hundred Clan and easily take down the Yakshas, why would you ally with the Wulvers? In the end, Yanluo Clan only wants us to be cannon fodder and take the lead for you.”

Zhang Ruochen snorted coldly. “Yanluo Clan is so powerful. It’s no problem for us to take down the Yakshas. It just because we want to be perfectly justifiable, or else why would we cooperate with the Wulvers?”

Jesse, the Wulvers’ emperor quickly calmed down “Yan Huangtu,” “Cool down, man. It’s the Wulvers’ honor to be able to cooperate with Yanluo Clan.”

Supreme Saint Kuntong added, “Yan Huangtu, to be honest, Yanluo Clan is indeed powerful. Even the nine great clans like Ghosts and Immortal Vampires wouldn’t dare to make enemies with you, let alone small clans like us. However, the clans in the Royal City of Hundred Clan are united. You should know how powerful this united force is.”

“That’s right. The clans in the Royal City of Hundred Clans are united. They fight together. If Yanluo Clan wants to attack one of them, the other clans won’t just sit idly by,” Mu Huang said.

Zhang Ruochen tapped his finger on the table, “This is why Yanluo Clan is going to give benefits and cooperate with the Wulvers. As long as the Wulvers and the smaller clans that follow the Wulvers are on our side, you will be the number one clan in the Royal City of Hundred Clans after the Yakshas are exterminated. Moreover, you can get ten percent of the benefits from the Fane of Origin.”

Ten percent might seem like a small amount, but it was the Fane of Origin. Even ten percent was something that gods would go crazy over.

It would be unrealistic if Yanluo Clan promised them thirty to fifty percent.

While Jesse, Supreme Saint Kuntong, Mu Huang, and Jiushou Bailang were discussing telepathically, Zhang Ruochen spoke again, “The Yakshas actually knows that the secret of the Fane of Origin can’t be hidden. They also know that with their strength, it’s difficult for them to take over the entire Fane of Origin. Thus, they’ve secretly contacted all small and large clans that follow them and even contacted the Fane of Darkness.

“If the Wulvers don’t take action, you won’t be able to gain any benefits from the Fane of Origin.”

After a while, they came to a conclusion.

“We can’t agree to you immediately,” Jesse said. “We have to report this to our gods and let them decide.”

“Alright, I’ll give you time to think. However, you’d better give me an answer soon. Yanluo Clan can choose the Wulvers, but we can also choose the Pyroghosts, which are stronger than the Wulvers.”

Zhang Ruochen put the supreme-grade Divine Crystal of Origin into his sleeve. Sensing a pair of eyes staring at his every move, he couldn’t help but smile and walked out of the stone chamber.

…

Zhang Ruochen sat in a chariot, left the Wulvers’ sacred land, and waited quietly.

Just now was a staged scene he had planned after discussing with Handae and Jesse.

The first goal was to drag Yanluo Clan into the game and stir up more trouble.

The second goal was to draw out Kai Luo and Claflin, who were hiding among the Wulvers.

In fact, when Yan Yu previously sought meeting with the Wulvers’ Emperor, the Wulvers had already secretly investigated and been watching the three cultivators who might have defected to the Celestial Realm.

Today, the same three cultivators participated in the secret talks.

Zhang Ruochen’s chariot driver was an old man in a long black robe. He wore a bamboo hat on his head, covering more than half of his face. He was Handae, one of the three gods who stayed behind to guard the Royal City of Hundred Clan.

Zhang Ruochen’s safety was very important, so much so that a deity had to personally escort him.

The Royal City of Hundred Clans was vast. Some of the places were very quiet and uninhabited.

At this moment, the carriage arrived at the lakeside of dark lake. Strange trees were planted along the road. They were luxuriant. The place was quiet. Only the sound of the wheels rolling could be heard.

Handae, who was wearing a bamboo hat, suddenly had a slight change in expression. He sensed that a highly skilled cultivator used a formation to set up a barrier covering the area where they were.

He informed Zhang Ruochen, who was in the carriage, telepathically, “He’s here!”

Swoosh!

An Arrow of Deva flew out from the forest on the left side of the road.

The arrow was as fast as a streak of light. Wherever it flew, precepts of heaven and earth seemed to be attracted by it. They all flowed into the arrow, boosting the power of the arrow.

With a bang, the arrow broke the defensive array of the chariot.

The carriage turned into dozens of pieces and exploded.

“Yan Huangtu” sitting in the carriage was pierced by the Arrow of Deva. With a plop, he fell into the lake next to it.

A graceful shadow as fast as lightning flew out of the forest. Like a dragonfly skimming, it reached into the water and lifted the ragged body of “Yan Haungtu” from its sleeve.

Claflin¹ took out the top-grade Divine Crystal of Origin. She didn’t check if “Yan Haungtu” was the real deal. Instead, she studied the supreme-grade Divine Crystal of Origin’s authenticity. Then, she exclaimed, “It’s not a trap. It’s a genuine supreme-grade Divine Crystal of Origin. Looks like the Fane of Origin is really about to appear!”

A heaven-shaking roar sounded by the lakeside.

“How dare you hurt my master! You’re courting death!”

Handae pressed his claws into the ground. Instantly, the lake boiled. Water columns that looked like dragons rolled up and attacked Claflin, who was floating on the water’s surface.

“Oh no, he’s a demigod at his peak.”

Claflin’s face turned pale, and she immediately used the elves’ unique technique to dodge the attack. The remnant of “Yan Haungtu” had already been thrown into the water.

Kai Luo, with snow-white hair and a white jade mask, appeared in the sky above the demonic lake. He shouted, “The birth of the Fane of Origin is a world-shaking event. Run. I’ll hold him back. No matter what, we need to bring the news back to the Celestial Realm and inform our gods.”

Kai Luo raised his hand and pressed down. He activated the array’s power and condensed a giant palm of lightning to suppress Handae.

At the same time, he opened a corner of the array.

Claflin also knew that a demigod in his prime was very difficult to deal with. If they dragged it out for too long and alarmed the gods in the Wulvers’ sacred land not far away, the two of them would probably die here.

It was still a small matter if they died. However, the news that the Fane of Origin was about to appear in the Royal City of Hundred Clans had to be sent back to the Celestial Realm.

Claflin no longer thought about it. She held the supreme-grade Divine Crystal of Origin and rushed out of the array formation. She thought, “Kai Luo’s attainments in array formations are profound. Even a top demigod wouldn’t be able to cause much trouble once he is trapped in his array formation. It shouldn’t be difficult for him to escape.”

However, not long after Claflin escaped, Kai Luo was suppressed by Handae.

Kai Luo lay on the ground, unable to move. He had an ominous premonition and was shocked and panicked. He asked, “Who are you?”

Handae ignored him and pulled “Yan Huangtu” out of the water.

His old palm pressed down on that body’s chest, which had been pierced by the Arrow of Deva. He used his divine force to force out the Precepts of Arrow from the wound.

Flesh and blood gradually grew on the chest of “Yan Huangtu.” It was soon intact.

Zhang Ruochen stood up from the ground and rubbed his chest, which was still in pain. He said, “Thank you for using your divine force to protect my Saint Soul and Sea of Qi. Otherwise, this arrow from Claflin would have shattered my soul.”

“Ruochen, your courage is unparalleled. When I was in Hundred-Shackle Realm, I wouldn’t dare to take in the Arrow of Deva shoot me.”

Handae looked at Zhang Ruochen’s chest and was astonished.

It was said that the Wulvers had a solid physical recovery ability, but Zhang Ruochen’s physical recovery ability surprised even him, who was a god of Wulvers.

“It’s important to put on an act. Otherwise, how can we fool them?” Zhang Ruochen said.

Handae said cautiously, “Are you sure it’s okay to let Claflin take the supreme-grade Divine Crystal of Origin ?”

“Don’t worry, sir. It will still take some time for Claflin to return to the Celestial Realm. In addition, the sects of the Celestial Realm don’t have a Master of origin. Even if they got the supreme-grade Divine Crystal of Origin, they wouldn’t be able to find the position of the Fane of Origin. They’ll still have to come to the Royal City of Hundred Clan first. Once we lure them to the Royal City of Hundred Clan, my next plan can be carried out,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Kai Luo, lying on the ground, could not move. His face changed again, and he could not help but feel sad. He had never thought that this trip to Infernal Court would suffocate him so much.

He was good at planning in the past, but in Infernal Court, he was repeatedly used and schemed against.

Last time, it was Bai Qing’er. This time, it was Zhang Ruochen.

It could not be helped. The bait they threw out was too attractive.
