<h4>Chapter 2017: Shameless Betrayal</h4>
“It was strange that the old bald donkey Xumi would choose a kid with the Immortal Vampire bloodline as his sessor. I really don’t know what was in his mind,” said ckie with his lips curled up.
Zhang Ruochen turned his head and stared at ckie. “You seem to be keeping a lot of things from me. Now it’s time to exin everything.”
“Err... I suddenly remember I have something on. I will make a move now.” ckie’s eyes shed as it pped its wings, trying to get away.
It kicked itself in the head for talking too much, no difference from digging its own grave.
Zhang Ruochen had seen iting. With the wave of his hand, he froze the space around ckie, immobilizing it in midair.
“I know all you trick left and right. It’s not gonna work on me. Now, tell me everything. Or else, don’t think about going anywhere.” Zhang Ruochen said with a serious face.
At first, Zhang Ruochen had wanted to ask ckie many things after the battle of Mount Yueshen. But ckie had slipped away before he knew it. It was apparent that ckie was trying to evade his questions.
One thing was certain, ckie must have kept many things from him. He wondered if he should trust what ckie had previously said.
ckie could not move a muscle. “Let’s talk it over nicely. I will tell you what you want to know, but I really have nothing to hide from you.”
“If you don’t tell the truth, I will pluck all the hair from your body.” Zhang Ruochen shot it a threatening look.
ckie flinched upon hearing that. “Do nothing stupid, Zhang Ruochen. I will tell you everything, but you have to free me first.”
Zhang Ruochen shot another re at ckie, only then he lifted the Dimensional Freeze to allow ckie regaining its freedom.
If ckie did not speak the truth this time, he would never let it go.
ckie moved in a sh to hide behind Han Xue. It then looked at Zhang Ruochen cautiously, as if it was really afraid that Zhang Ruochen would really pluck its hair.
“What do you want to know?” ckie asked as it poked its head out.
Zhang Ruochen let out a breath. “Why was your physical body in Ying Yang Sea? Why did Saint Monk Xumi keep you in the in Sacred Qiankun Wooden Picture Scroll?”
“I told you a long time ago about this. It was because I made a grave mistake and that bald donkey Xumi imprisoned my body in Ying Yang sea and refined my saint soul into the implement spirit of the Sacred Qiankun Wooden Picture Scroll.” ckie rolled its eyes.
Zhang Ruochen continued. “What exactly did you do that Saint Monk Xumi had to take action to against you personally? Why did he want to make you the Sacred Qiankun Wooden Picture Scroll’s implement spirit?”
There must be something behind Saint Monk Xumi’s decision to imprison ckie’s body and saint soul separately.
ckie rolled its eyes again. “I told you these things before. Do you think I am joking with you? I was the emperor who ughtered heaven and earth and hadmitted so many sins. That old bald donkey liked to poke his nose around and suppressed me.”
“Back then in Yin Yang Sea, where you also saw many cages, each of which was a cell for an inexcusable murderer. They were under the care of the Dragon n, and I was one of them.”
“But the old bald donkey Xumi waspassionate. Even though I hadmitted grave crimes, he gave me a chance to repent by sealing my saint soul in the Sacred Qiankun Wooden Picture Scroll as the guide of the Scion of Time and Space. When you fulfilled all the meritorious deeds and reached consummation, I could regain my freedom.”
Imprisoning its saint soul in the Sacred Qiankun Wooden Picture Scroll for 100,000 years was harshest punishment. As violent as ckie’s temperament was, the punishment was enough to change it.
Zhang Ruochen stared at ckie for a moment and then said, “Who was that person who awakened in Ying Yang Sea?”
The blond young man who awakened in Yin Yang Sea had given Zhang Ruochen a deep impression. He still remembered that when he first saw the blond young man, he was like facing a high and mighty god emperor. It was really terrifying.
That blond young man had even taken the Shenlong Chaos Tower of Sun and Moon and sealed the entire Yin Yang Sea, making Yin Yang Sea an absolute forbidden ce, where no one could enter.
There was fear in ckie’s eyes as Zhang Ruochen mentioned that man. “He is a taboo figure, the only one left of the Divine Dragon race and also the most powerful one. He was revered in the wild, secret realm by all races. I ughtered the Divine Dragon race and the dragon’s biles. Had it not been for the old bald donkey Xumi, he would have died long ago.”
“Ask no more about this person. I will not talk about him. Those taboo characters, even if the Supreme Saints are not supposed to be discussed.”
It was apparent that ckie was really terrified of Yin Yang Sea, so much so that it did not even dare to talk about it.
Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen could not help but frowned with thoughts shing across his mind. Those gods of the Kunlun Realm had all fallen 100,000 years ago, which led to the gradual decline of the Kunlun Realm.
Now it seemed that this was not the case. At least the taboo being of the Divine Dragon race was still alive, and there was a possibility that some other giants were hiding in the dark.
What was the purpose of imprisoning this taboo figure of the Divine Dragon race n in the Yin Yang Sea for 100,000 years?
When he associated it with the awakened ones such as Jiang Yunchong, Yan Ruo, Hong Xuanji, the Spirit-Devouring King, and those returning Supreme Artifact’s implement spirits, Zhang Ruochen had even more questions on his mind. When Zhang Rouchen thought he was beginning to learn more about the Kunlun Realm, it blurred out again.
“Then what is your rtionship with the Empress of Thousand Bones? And what was the matter with the ckheart Demonlord?” Zhang Ruochen continued to ask.
ckie became emotional. “Never mention the perfidious scoundrel in front of me. Back then, when the ckdemon Realm was still weak and there were no immortals, the Kunlun Realm had shown kindness by supporting them and let some of their people to practice self-cultivation in the Kunlun Realm.”
“The ckheart Demonlord was one of them. He had the highest talent and befriended the empress who regarded him as a close friend. But ckheart Demonlord was a wolf in sheep’s clothing; he used her to approach the Divine Sky-connecting Tree.”
“At that time, the ckheart Demonlord wanted to court the empress. But now way the empress would take a liking to him. The ckheart Demonlord held grudges in his heart. He secretly colluded with the enemy, bring in powerful murderer to cut down the Divine Sky-connecting Tree. The saint Qi of Kunlun Realm gradually dried up since then. It had killed the hope of Kunlun Realm cultivators to be immortals.”
“I was framed, too, and my cultivation almost went out of control and I deviated from the right course. Because ofmitting the crime of killing, and I ultimately ended up being imprisoned.”
Speaking of the ckheart Demonlord, ckie sounded angry, filled with hatred. He subconsciously released a terrible me from its body as he could not wait to grind the ckheart Demonlord’s treacherous bones to dust.
Anger also brewed in Zhang Ruochen’s heart, too. The ckheart Demonlord had betrayed the Kunlun Realm and cut down the Divine Sky-connecting Tree. All of these were heinous crimes.
He hated betrayal the most. If he was powerful enough, he would definitely kill the true body of the ckheart Demonlord, not just the manifestation of his divine will.
The ckheart Demonlord could attain immortality was most likely because of his betrayal of the Kunlun Realm and got tremendous benefits from it.
Greed is a bottomless pit. The Kunlun Realm did everything possible to help the ckdemon Realm. When it finally grew stronger, it sold the Kunlun Realm out for self-interest. How irony.
It was not until now did Zhang Ruochen understand why ckie hated the ckheart Demonlord so much. It turned out that the imprisonment of ckie had something to do with the ckheart Demonlord.
Zhang Ruochen could not help but sighed. Had the Divine Sky-connecting Tree not been cut down, Empress of Thousand Bones would have no difficulty attaining immortality with her extraordinary talent.
He wondered where the Empress of Thousand Bones was now, and if she was still alive.
