Zhang Ruochen rubbed his temples as he was exhausted. He said, “I did find something unusual in the House of Enchanteurs. How much do you know about Bai Qing’er?”
Hearing the name “Bai Qing’er”, Guye Jing’s calm and cold face turned solemn, she said, “She is known as the most mysterious woman in the Enchanteur Chamber. There are rumors that her father is likely to be Huang Tian. As for her specific age, cultivation realm, saint techniques, secret techniques, and abilities, they are rarely revealed. Therefore, the outside world knows very little about her.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “On the night you fought for the superior-grade Divine Crystals of Origin, Bai Qing’er was in the House of Enchanteurs. Moreover, she tricked Noqoilpi, the Seven-Armed Elder cleverly.”
“A bet on the Rainbow Viburnum?” Guye Jing asked.
Guye Jing smiled lightly and said, “The cultivator who made Seven-Armed Elder lose hundreds of thousands of Godstones is called the Heaven and Earth Slaughterer. This news has long spread throughout the Infernal Court. Isn’t that you?”
The hedgehog lying on the ground raised its head and glared at Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen knew that Guye Jing will investigate him, so he admitted it, he said, “Yes, I am the Heaven and Earth Slaughterer. But I am not the one who set the trap. I just don’t like the fact that the woman I love is at a disadvantage. That’s why I intervened.”
Guye Jing’s eyes revealed a mocking look. She said, “The woman you love? You mean Yan Zhexian?”
“Yes,” Zhang Ruochen said.
“Master Ruochen, you really are a sentimental person,” said Guye Jing.
The sarcasm in her words was strong!
Zhang Ruochen did not seem to care, he continued, “In the bet, the mysterious black-veiled cultivator is Bai Qing’er. Other than that, Cang Baizi, Lord Ironclad, Lord Huanxu, and Thandee are all her underlings.”
Guye Jing said, “The four you’re talking about are all top-notch Supreme Saints who are well-known. They have support from the Hall of Permanence and the Paarth Family. Why would they listen to a woman from the Enchanteur Chamber?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Bai Qing’er is more powerful than you think. I only know that she used the power of the dream to control these Supreme Saints. If you don’t believe me, you can go and find out.”
“Fine! Even if Bai Qing’er has heaven-defying means, why did she set up a trap to deal with the Seven-Armed Elder?” Guye Jing asked.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen could not tell Guye Jing everything. With her intellect, she would be suspicious of him if she talked too much.
Zhang Ruochen shrugged and said, “How would I know? Why did she do that? Just to find out this matter, I have caused myself a great deal of trouble.”
“Continue,” Guye Jing said.
Zhang Ruochen said, “That night, I followed Cang Baizi and left the House of Enchanteurs. I didn’t expect to see Bai Qing’er and the Seven-Armed Elder fighting. The Seven-Armed Elder and Xing Qian died at Bai Qing’er’s hands, while the Seven-Armed Elder killed Cang Baizi with one strike.
“Bai Qing’er’s spiritual power was strong. She found me hiding in the dark and wanted to kill me. I had no choice but to take out the Violet Gourd.
“Originally, even if I used the Violet Gourd, I couldn’t stop her. Fortunately, the last attack of the Seven-Armed Elder caused her a lot of trouble, so I was able to escape.
“I think the reason why I was targeted by the Adjudication Division must be Bai Qing’er’s doing. She manipulates others to kill me.”
More than 70% of what Zhang Ruochen said was true.
Guye Jing clearly believed him. She fell into deep thought and said, “I went to the area where you used the Violet Gourd to investigate. There were indeed traces of battle there, but the terrain was restored by someone with a brilliant method.”
“Bai Qing’er is too powerful. She should be ranked first below divinity of the Infernal Court,” said Zhang Ruochen as he showed a lingering fear on his face.
Guye Jing snorted, “You’re only in the Hundred-Shackle Realm. Your understanding of the top echelon below divinity is too shallow! Only a genius of the Yuanhui level who had reached the Paramount Realm would dare to claim to be the best below divinity. Since you know the truth, why didn’t you tell the Adjudication Division when they surrounded the Vastsea Manor?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “It’s obvious that Bai Qing’er and the Adjudication Division, and even the entire Fane of Destiny, have an unspeakable deal to kill me. Even if I tell the truth, it won’t change the situation. It’s better to deny it directly and pretend that I don’t know. They can’t do anything to me.
“By the way, Seven-Armed Elder said something before he died. I think Bai Qing’er killed him because she wanted to silence me.”
Guye Jing asked, “What did he say?”
Zhang Ruochen looked around with fear.
Guye Jing said, “Don’t worry. This is my Precept Domain. Even the gods can’t hear our conversation.”
Zhang Ruochen lowered his voice and said, “The Seven-Armed Elder said that even if he dies, he won’t tell me where he got the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin.”
Guye Jing’s expression brightened. Her phoenix eyes opened and closed. She said, “Are you sure you didn’t hear wrong?”
“How could I hear wrongly? After careful analysis, I came up with a shocking guess,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Guye Jing sneered, “Is there still a need to guess? The superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin appeared in the casino of the House of Enchanteurs because someone had already been to the Fane of Origin. That cultivator was Seven-Armed Elder. Tan Fei’s five superior-grade Divine Crystals of Origin must be related to the Seven-Armed Elder. Bai Qing’er probably found out that the Seven-Armed Elder is the source of the superior-grade Divine Crystals of Origin by setting up a trap to deal with the Seven-Armed Elder.
“Everything makes sense now. I didn’t expect a mere Enchanteur Chamber to be so ambitious.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “My guess is that The cultivator who stole the five superior-grade Divine Crystals of Origin is most likely Bai Qing’er. Firstly, the five superior-grade Divine Crystals of Origin and Tan Fei have been sealed in the House of Enchanteurs. Only the cultivators inside the House of Enchanteurs can do something.
“Secondly, why did Tan Fei suddenly self-detonate his Sainthood Source and shout that I killed him? I think it was Bai Qing’er who used the power of dreams. Only the power of dreams can alter reality.
“Thirdly, the Destiny Division intervened to save me. It was beyond Bai Qing’er’s expectations. She knew that the truth could not be hidden for long. Therefore, she used the South-Haven pollen to shift everyone’s attention back to the deceased Seven-Armed Elder. In this way, all the clues are broken.
“She wants to monopolize the Fane of Origin.”
Guye Jing was extremely shrewd. She had her own judgment and did not completely trust Zhang Ruochen.
She said, “These are your own words. I don’t believe that you would tell me such an important thing without any reservations. Of course, I believe that some of what you said should be the truth, but there should still be a lot left, right?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “I know you have doubts. In fact, I’m telling you all this because I’m forced to.”
Guye Jing showed an interesting look as if she did not believe him.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Bai Qing’er still did not give up on killing me. She chased me from the Dominion of the Bloodysky Clan all the way to Hoth. Not long ago, she sent Thandee to capture my other beloved woman, Lord Xia Yu. She wanted to force me to submit and seal my mouth. Fortunately, I arrived in time to save Lord Xia Yu. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“I know very well that with my cultivation of the Hundred-Shackle Realm, even if I were ten times stronger, Bai Qing’er would only need one finger to press me to death. So now, I really hope to form an alliance with a powerhouse who can fight against her. I really can’t think of anyone else but you.”
To make Guye Jing believe in him and despise him, Zhang Ruochen decided to continue portraying his lustful and amorous image.
Guye Jing sneered, “Your last words went against your heart! You chose to form an alliance with me for another purpose, right?”
Zhang Ruochen smiled awkwardly and said, “You’ve seen through me again! Yes, if to form an alliance, I have other options, such as Luo Shengtian. However, the only one who can help me resolve my inner demons is someone from The Rāhu Mountains.”
“You’d better be telling the truth. If you have other intentions, it’s better to give up as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if you’re Luo Sha’s fiancé, I’ll still show no mercy,” said Guye Jing.
Zhang Ruochen was stunned, but he immediately reacted.
Did Guye Jing think that he formed an alliance with her because he wanted to woo her?
Were all the women in the Infernal Court so self-righteous?
Or rather, the image he had created was too deeply rooted in people’s hearts. As soon as he approached, all the women of the Infernal Court would immediately be on guard. They instinctively felt that he was plotting against them?
Zhang Ruochen said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first!”
Guye Jing glanced at Zhang Ruochen and said, “I thought you say you wanted to form an alliance?”
“That’s right. However, my cultivation is too weak now, so it’s not suitable for me to get involved in this mess for the time being. So I’ve decided to go back to the Dominion of the Bloodysky Clan to hide for a while and breakthrough to the Thousand-Koan Realm first,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Guye Jing said, “Why do you need to hide when I’m around?”
“Well… ” said Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen was speechless. He didn’t expect Guye Jing to act so irrationally.
His original plan was to provoke the conflict between Guye Jing and Bai Qing’er. He would go to Devala immediately. After returning, the two girls should have fought each other to the point where they were both injured. All he needed to do was pick up the bodies after that.
However, Guye Jing was obviously not easy to manipulate. She had no intention of letting him go.
Guye Jing said, “Since you suspect that Bai Qing’er stole five superior-grade Divine Crystals of Origin and killed Tan Fei, then let’s go meet her and see how powerful she is.”
“I can’t interfere in a fight between powerhouses of your level,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Guye Jing shook her head, “Five superior-grade Divine Crystals of Origin were stolen by someone using Power of Dimension,” she said. “So this time, we’re going to deal with Bai Qing’er mainly to test whether she’s proficient in the Path of Dimension. You’re a Master of Space. How can you not interfere?”
Zhang Ruochen was not as crazy as Guye Jing. There were many powerhouses around Bai Qing’er. How could they be dealt with just like that?
He was about to reject her again.
Guye Jing said, “You’re not going to use me to deal with Bai Qing’er and reap the benefits, are you? In other words, you’ve already obtained superior-grade Divine Crystals of Origin. Bai Qing’er’s purpose in dealing with you is to seize the superior-grade Divine Crystals of Origin? You want me to deal with Bai Qing’er, and then you secretly went to the Fane of Origin?”
“Of course not. Everything I said earlier is true. We are allies. Our interests are the same,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Guye Jing said, “If you want to leave, I won’t stop you.”
“Since I have already formed an alliance with you, of course I won’t leave. Come, let’s discuss how to test Bai Qing’er. I have long wanted to teach that wicked woman a lesson.” said Zhang Ruochen. He sat back in his chair, his gaze was serious and serious.
At this moment, Guye Jing’s gaze suddenly shifted away from Zhang Ruochen. She looked out of the window and asked, “Have you heard of Wuma Jiuxing?”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “Why did you suddenly mention him?”
Guye Jing said, “Wuma Jiuxing is 3,200 years old. He’s the young master of the Pneuma Hall. He’s a terrifying existence that everyone knows at the edge of the Infernal Court. He’s known as the strongest person below divinity in all the dark forces. Although he’s just the young master, he’s in charge of the Pneuma Hall.”
Zhang Ruochen couldn’t help but gasp. The Pneuma Hall was one of the top ten dark forces that were on par with the Avīci Pavilion. To be able to control such a huge force, his cultivation and skills must be at the top level.
Guye Jing said, “A thousand years ago, he killed Guo Ling, the Supreme Saint of the Ruiya Realm. Listen carefully, he only slashed once. Not only did he split Guo Ling into two, but Wuma Jiuxing also destroyed all of Guo Ling’s life force. He could not escape and he could not re-form his physical body.
“Three hundred years ago, he fought with Yu Qiu, the former Scion of the Fane of Destiny. At that time, Yu Qiu, who had just reached the Paramount Realm, could only fight him to a draw. He could not win.
“Yu Qiu regarded that battle as a disgrace for his entire life. He felt that he had brought shame to the Fane of Destiny. A dignified Scion could not win against a dark force cultivator.
“Therefore, Yu Qiu secluded himself in the Fane of Destiny for a hundred years. When he came out of seclusion a hundred years later, he wanted to avenge himself, but Wuma Jiuxing went missing.
“The draw made Yu Qiu regret it for the rest of his life. Many cultivators thought that Yu Qiu didn’t transcend the Divine Tribulation. It was more or less related to Wuma Jiuxing. The biggest taboo in transcending the Divine Tribulation is not having a complete state of mind.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded seriously. He started to pay more attention to Wuma Jiuxing.
Every generation of the Scion and Scioness of the Fane of Destiny was a chosen talent. They could be nurtured by the whole fane and enjoy the cultivation resources that other cultivators couldn’t.
Under such conditions, it was indeed a stain on one’s life that one could only fight to a draw with a cultivator in the dark world of the same realm.
However, from another perspective, Wuma Jiuxing was indeed remarkable.
Guye Jing said, “About 30 years ago, Wuma Jiuxing, who had been missing for 200 years, reappeared in everyone’s sight. His cultivation improved tremendously and stepped into a new world. Not long ago, he did something earth-shattering.”
“What was it?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Guye Jing said, “He went to Kunlun’s Battlefield of Merits. He only struck three times and killed three Paramount Realm Supreme Saints on the Eminence Ranking.”
All the Supreme Saints on the Eminence Ranking were top powerhouses below divinity.
“Isn’t he invincible below divinity?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Guye Jing said, “You’re right. Even if Yu Qiu is alive, he might not be able to defeat Wuma Jiuxing. No one knows where he has been for more than 100 years and what great opportunities he has obtained.”
“Why did you suddenly mention him?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Guye Jing said, “Because he came to Hoth and has a close relationship with Bai Qing’er. Yesterday, the Divine Judge, Zhuo Yunong led an enforcement team to surround the House of Enchanteurs and investigate the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin. It was said that he interrogated Bai Qing’er.
“This morning, Wuma Jiuxing also announced that he would challenge Zhuo Yunong on behalf of the ten dark forces.
“After Yu Qiu failed to transcend the Divine Tribulation and Lord Ki Tian broke through to divinity, Zhuo Yunong became the number one cultivator below divinity of the Fane of Destiny. The ten great dark forces had never been accepted by the Fane of Destiny. They had been wiped out countless times. If Zhuo Yunong was defeated in this battle, it would be a huge blow to the prestige of the Fane of Destiny.
“Right now, Wuma Jiuxing is like the sun in the sky. He came with the power to kill three Paramount Realm Supreme Saints in a row. No cultivator thinks that Zhuo Yunong can win. Everyone just wants to know if Zhuo Yunong can take his first strike.
“Since Wuma Jiuxing became famous, he has only taken one attack against almost all cultivators. The only cultivator who can take his first attack is Yu Qiu.
Zhang Ruochen noticed the strange look in Guye Jing’s eyes. He finally turned his head and looked out the window.
Zhang Ruochen rubbed his temples as he was exhausted. He said, “I did find something unusual in the House of Enchanteurs. How much do you know about Bai Qing’er?”
Hearing the name “Bai Qing’er”, Guye Jing’s calm and cold face turned solemn, she said, “She is known as the most mysterious woman in the Enchanteur Chamber.

Zhang Ruochen said, “On the night you fought for the superior-grade Divine Crystals of Origin, Bai Qing’er was in the House of Enchanteurs. Moreover, she tricked Noqoilpi, the Seven-Armed Elder cleverly.”
“A bet on the Rainbow Viburnum?” Guye Jing asked.
Guye Jing smiled lightly and said, “The cultivator who made Seven-Armed Elder lose hundreds of thousands of Godstones is called the Heaven and Earth Slaughterer. This news has long spread throughout the Infernal Court. Isn’t that you?”
The hedgehog lying on the ground raised its head and glared at Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen knew that Guye Jing will investigate him, so he admitted it, he said, “Yes, I am the Heaven and Earth Slaughterer. But I am not the one who set the trap. I just don’t like the fact that the woman I love is at a disadvantage. That’s why I intervened.”
Guye Jing’s eyes revealed a mocking look. She said, “The woman you love? You mean Yan Zhexian?”
“Yes,” Zhang Ruochen said.
“Master Ruochen, you really are a sentimental person,” said Guye Jing.
The sarcasm in her words was strong!
Zhang Ruochen did not seem to care, he continued, “In the bet, the mysterious black-veiled cultivator is Bai Qing’er. Other than that, Cang Baizi, Lord Ironclad, Lord Huanxu, and Thandee are all her underlings.”
