Chapter 1630 - 598: The Book Saint Descends

Yu Ruying’s figure had just emerged from the "Will Heavenly Book", and the Zhu father and daughter, along with the Tianchi Pill Master, suspended in mid-air, felt the powerful presence of the Yu Jing Sequestrator.

As for the Yu Jing Sequestrator, the most distinct aspect compared to those Heavenly God level beings and Tangkou gods from Jing Country is the sense of indifference within their powerful force.

The Yu Jing Sequestrator is inherently indifferent to this world, other than being passionate about calligraphy; life and death, chaos and order, are of no importance to them.

"Shenyang Palace Master Zhu Zhenggang."

"Tianchi Pill Master, pays respects to the Sequestrator."

Yu Ruying seemed not to notice this sincerity and did not acknowledge it, simply gazing at West Valley True Monarch, calmly stating, "Doctor Xigu, do you know what you are doing?"

"Are you the Sequestrator of Yu Jing?"

West Valley True Monarch was not an ancient Heavenly God; he attained the great path 1500 years ago, ascending to the Heavenly God level.

In these fifteen hundred years, he had rarely seen White Jade Capital, let alone the most mysterious Sequestrator within the Yu Jing.

Now, he observed Yu Ruying, only feeling that this female Sequestrator was immensely powerful.

Judging from the aura Yu Ruying was releasing now, he, West Valley True Monarch, was inevitably no match.

He spoke solemnly, "What should I call the Sequestrator?"

"Yu Ruying, the Third Sequestrator under the Saint."

"Yu Sequestrator, this life-death gamble, is inherently a one-on-one arena. Both parties fight to the death; others must not interfere."

"Yu Sequestrator, I see that you are a learned and reasonable person. Surely you understand such a simple truth, don’t you?

West Valley True Monarch wanted to use the arena’s rules to restrain Yu Ruying from intervening.

He knew that if this Sequestrator made a move, he would undeniably be outmatched today.

"Look at your Shenyang Palace Master of the Yu Jing, how rule-abiding he is. I am in a life-death arena with Zhou Xuan and Yun Ziliang, and he observes from Xuantian, not relying on Taoism to interfere in arena matters."

West Valley True Monarch intended to trap Yu Ruying with his successive ploy of "first flattering, then goading."

Unexpectedly, Yu Ruying smiled and said, "Lord Zhu Zhenggang of the Zhu Family is the Demon Slayer General of Yu Jing.

White Jade Capital is quite an odd place; every five hundred years, many fog demons rise from the ground.

These demon folk and spirit monsters from the fog feed on the people of Yu Jing City. During such times, Lord Zhu Zhenggang, together with the other three Divine Palaces, repels the demon folk.

Such a character is naturally a person with a grand heart, acts in a gentlemanly manner, which is completely normal."

Suspended in the clouds, Zhu Zhenggang was so touched by Yu Ruying’s praise that he nearly burst into tears of gratitude.

Yu Ruying shifted her tone, poking her forehead, saying, "I am different; I am a woman.

The Saint once said: ’Only women and petty people are hard to nurture.’

It means we women find it hard to nurture Vast Righteous Qi within us.

Coincidentally, I also lack this Vast Righteous Qi, and naturally don’t like following rules."

"..." West Valley True Monarch assumed Yu Ruying would assist Zhou Xuan, yet—she aids him so boldly!

He was about to speak again, persuading Yu Ruying not to interfere in the life-death arena,

when Yu Ruying frowned, sighed, and said, "I too pondered for a moment before deciding to disregard the rules and lend a hand to you."

"Help me?"

West Valley True Monarch feared he misheard, and repeated, "Yu Sequestrator, you say you want to help me?"

"Is my speech unclear?" Yu Ruying retorted.

West Valley True Monarch nearly laughed aloud; he stood with hands behind back, arrogantly stating,

"Although my Taoism isn’t extremely profound, I have already sealed Zhou Xuan within the painting scroll, and Yun Ziliang has fallen into a peculiar space, cowering and refusing to come out.

This life-death gamble—I am surely victorious. If Yu Sequestrator doesn’t help Zhou Xuan,

I’m afraid that Zhou Xuan and Yun Ziliang are already at my mercy; how I handle them is entirely up to me."

Yu Ruying thought differently; she pointed to the painting scroll West Valley True Monarch crafted using six copper coins, saying, "Xigu, take a look at your painting."

The painting West Valley True Monarch created is the "Lake Heart Pavilion Ink-Wash Painting," where Zhou Xuan remained trapped inside the pavilion.

At this moment, Zhou Xuan was still bound within the pavilion terrace, although the view around the terrace had changed.

Previous expansive green wave lake waters now had an entirely new scene, the surface of the water filled with lotuses.

The lotuses were neither pink nor demonic but instead ink-colored, exuding a sinister aura.

"Where did the lotuses come from?"

West Valley True Monarch thought for a moment and then asked.

"It’s naturally our Yu Jing’s Flower God."

Yu Ruying said, "Jing Country has nine towering Ancestor Trees, but few know there is a beautiful Exquisite Flower in this heaven and earth.

She is the Flower God.

The Flower God is our White Jade Capital’s origin, and she stands as an equal to the Saint within our hearts at Yu Jing.

You used the painting scroll to seal Zhou Xuan, angering the Flower God."

She pointed to the slowly enlarging White Jade Capital in the heavenly dome, noting, "Xigu, look; Yu Jing is descending...however...perhaps we needn’t wait for White Jade Capital to fully descend before the Flower God acts to slay you."

"Life-Death Arena...your White Jade Capital’s Flower God is too unruly..."

"Eh, that statement is inaccurate."

Yu Ruying blocked West Valley True Monarch’s words, articulating, "The secret technique Zhou Dangzheng blessed Yun Ziliang with is called ’the Method of Entering the Book.’"

This technique, simply put, is Zhou Dangzheng writing the Invisible Magical Stele. If the Flower God is satisfied, she will lend him divine power and also protect him.
