"Is this where you speak?"

>>>Let me know if you'd like any other text translated!
Zhang Ruochen shifted through space, moving sideways and appearing in front of Li Min. With a palm strike forward, he shattered the two incoming beams of cold light.
Then, Zhang Ruochin retracted his palm and showed a look of disgust, saying: "If you have something to say, come at me directly. Why resort to such cruelty towards a weak little girl?"
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated! Just now, if it weren't for Zhang Ruochin's intervention, Feng Qin's two rays of light would have pierced Li Min's body and killed her.
"Alright then, this king shall deal with you first."
The wind spirit clenched its fists with both hands, and stomped forward with its feet, causing the ground in the bamboo forest to sink inward. At the same time, dense wind blades appeared from all directions, making a “shua shua” sound.
"Stop."
A cold voice sounded.
Shi Ren and a group of elders from the Zhenyu ancient clan rushed up from the mountainside, appearing between Feng Qiong and Zhang Ruichen to block them.
Facing the elders of the Zhenyu ancient clan, Feng Qin frowned and snorted coldly. He had no choice but to retract his power.
Though he had been defeated, the fighting spirit within him remained undiminished.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! <<
Shi Ren's gaze shifted to Feng Qin, and he stated, "The imperial court has its own rules, and the Zhenyu Ancient Clan has its own. Zhang Ruochin is a distinguished guest of the Zhenyu Ancient Clan. As long as he remains at the Mingwang Sword Tomb, it would be absolutely impossible for the imperial court to take him away."

"Is that so? I really don't believe it."
Shi Ren showed no fear, appearing very determined. At that moment, from the midst of white clouds and mist, dozens of figures walked out and climbed to the top of Bamboo Joint Mountain.
The three people walking at the front were Wan Zhaoyi, Sheng Shu Cai Nü, and Wang Jie.
Behind the three, there were also some half-saint level powerhouses from the Ministry of War and the Ancient Clan of Prison. These people were all powerful figures who shook one side, with strong auras, thick blood, and full spirits, converging into a powerful deterrent force.
As all the saints arrived, the atmosphere of Zhújié Mountain became solemn and oppressive.
An ordinary cultivator from the Fish Dragon Realm, seeing such a scene, would have probably already prostrated themselves on the ground.
<<>>
As expected, the Ministry of War personnel did indeed encounter Zhang Ruochin.
Please note: I only translated the text content within the "<>" and kept the HTML tags as they were. Wang Jie's mouth curled into a smug smile, then he quickened his pace and walked over, saying, "Young Master, it's best if our Zhenyu Guzu doesn't interfere in this matter. After all, Zhang Ruochen is a major criminal of the court and colluded with the Undying Blood Clan. Staying in Zhenyu Guzu would only be a scourge." Shi Ren's gaze fixed on Wan Zhaoyi and Shengshu Cairen, then shifted to Wang Jie, coldly saying, "Who says Zhang Ruochen colluded with the Undying Blood Clan? Do you have evidence?"
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate! Wang Jie sighed and put on a look of great helplessness. "Young Clan Leader, the facts are already quite clear. Why do you still insist on favoring Zhang Ruochin? In the future, if because of Zhang Ruochin, the Zhenyu Ancient Clan suffers an irreparable disaster, who will be responsible? The Empress ordered Zhang Ruochin to be captured, there must be a reason. Could it be that you dare to disobey the Empress's order?"
Shi Ren is not a person without reason, otherwise, he would not have lived to this day.
He said: "Outside the King of Hades Sword Tomb, the court wants to arrest Zhang Ruochin, and I will have no objection whatsoever. But Zhang Ruochin is my friend, and even more so a distinguished guest of the Prison Gu clan. If the court wants to take him away, they must first step over me."
Shi Ren was very clear that he had the status of a clan deputy. Even if the imperial court was extremely eager to capture Zhang Ruochin, they wouldn't dare to be too presumptuous.
His attitude was strong enough to deter the imperial court from taking Zhang Ruochin away today. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
If it ever comes to that, it will only chill the hearts of all who wield swords.
In the future, should the ancient Jailer clan face danger once more, will all you sword bearers return to aid them?
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate! Therefore, regardless of whether it is public or private, Shi Ren must absolutely not back down.
More than ten elders behind Shi Ren also stood up and stood behind him. They were all loyal elders to the Shi family, some of them even followed the ancestor-grandmaster, naturally they would advance and retreat with Shi Ren.
>>>Wang Jie was overjoyed. Since Shi Ren proactively stepped forward to support Zhang Ruochin, then this opportunity could be used to get rid of him as well.
<<<
He turned to face Wan Zhaoyi with a slight bow, saying, "Your Highness, as you can see, the young clan leader is being unreasonable. With the enemy at our doorstep, he's still fixated on his personal connection with Zhang Ruichen, and this could jeopardize the entire mission."Wan Zhaoyi, clad in his Qinglong armor, gazed intently at Zhang Ruichen and Shi Ren with a hint of amusement in his eyes, saying, "This King, however, finds the young clan leader to be a man of principle."
Wang Jie was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly couldn't figure out what Wan Zhao Yi was trying to do. Could it be that he didn't want to capture Zhang Ruochin?
<<<"The Great Emperor once issued an edict during his reign, specifically for the Underworld Clan. Even officials from the imperial court must abide by their customs when entering the Tomb of the King's Sword,"??? the old man continued.>
>>>
Shi Ren stood with his hands behind his back, facing Wan Zhào Yì. He said, “Xiao Sheng Tianwang is truly worthy of being the first person in a century. Your way of doing things is indeed more upright and honest than some people.”
Then, Wan Zhiyi's tone changed. He said, "The imperial court can temporarily let Zhang Ruochin go. However, some personal grudges, even the young clan leader can't control them, right?"
Shi Ren's eyes narrowed. "What private grudge?"
With a powerful voice that boomed like thunder, <<>>, “In the Qingli County, all four comrades of the Fengqin clan were slain by Zhang Ruochin's sword. This blood feud is deep and inescapable.”
<<>>
It has to be said, Wan Zhaoyi's methods are far more sophisticated than Wang Jiedi's.
Thus, even Shi Ren would be unable to continue obstructing. After all, Zhang Ruochin had indeed killed four kings from the Ministry of War. It's possible that one of them was a close friend of Feng Qin.
Who can prove that there isn't?
Zhang Ruochin, when you broke through Ziyong Pass, you killed my younger brother. Today, no matter what, I must avenge him.
Another half-saint from the Ministry of War, who also claimed to have a personal grudge against Zhang Ruochin.
"The King of Ten Thousand Things was my sworn brother, yet you killed him. Even if the entire Ancient Prison Clan were to protect you, today, I will take your life."
"Kill Zhang Ruochin and avenge my revenge."
What is the meaning of the following: ???...
Among the present military saints, more than half claimed to have a grudge against Zhang Ruochin. Of course, the vast majority were just looking for an excuse to have a life-or-death battle with Zhang Ruochin.
After all, whoever kills Zhang Ruochen will surely become famous and receive a huge amount of merit points. Perhaps they will even receive a reward from the Empress.
Such a rare opportunity, of course, is something everyone strives for.
In their eyes, Zhang Ruochen was like a piece of fragrant steamed bread, everyone wanted to swallow him whole.
The woman of the Bible seemed remarkably serene, her black and white eyes fixed on Xiao Hei as she let out a knowing smile.
Since this outspoken cat appeared beside Zhang Ruochin, she could be sure that he must be Lin Yue, the swordsmanship prodigy of the Liangyi Sect.
At this moment, she figured out all her previous doubts.
"No wonder he doesn't want to be the boundary..."
The woman of the Bible sighed deeply, her heart filled with confusion and a sense of turmoil. The man she had once admired most had become her enemy. What should she do?
If it were another official in the court who wanted to apprehend Zhang Ruochin, she could certainly use some means to help him.
But Zhang Ruochin was the person the Empress had ordered to be captured. Even she felt helpless.
Xiao He glanced at the female scholar of Sheng Shu, feeling a sense of foreboding. He secretly transmitted a message to Zhang Ruochin, reminding him: "Zhang Ruochin, your identity has been exposed!"
Zhang Ruochin, on the other hand, seemed quite calm and collected. He didn't panic at all. He glanced slightly at the talented woman from the Holy Scriptures.
Their eyes met, locking in a gaze.
However, in the eyes of the saintly woman, there was a faint smile, and she didn't mean to fight him.
It is undeniable that the talented women of the Bible were loyal to the queen. Even though Zhang Ruochin had saved her twice, she did not feel optimistic or relax her vigilance at all.
Shi Renjian walked out and immediately stopped him, saying, "Zhang brother, let me handle this…"
Zhang Ruochin interrupted him, shook his head, and said, "No, this matter must be resolved by me personally."
Then, Zhang Ruochin turned his gaze to the half-saints of the Ministry of War, and said, “Since you all have a grudge against me, then I agree to your duel to the death. Let's see today, whether it is you who die or I who perish.”
Zhang Ruochin had to fight, it was a helpless move. Otherwise, he would definitely drag Shi Ren down.
When Wang Jie heard Zhang Ruochin's challenge, he was both pleased and a little disappointed.
Instead, he hoped Zhang Ruochin would remain silent, allowing Shi Ren and the half-saints of the Ministry of War to clash.
In this way, he had some back-up strategies to use, thus bringing down Shi Ren and taking his place as the young chief.
However, being able to get this far is already pretty good.
Getting rid of Zhang Ruochin would be like cutting off Shi Ren's arm. In the future, there will naturally be many opportunities to deal with Shi Ren.
What is happening?
????????…………
Above the altar of the ancient clan's prison, a hundred-zhang-long and wide fighting platform hovered.
At this moment, beneath the fighting arena, a sea of people surged with countless members of the ancient Town Prison clan.
Zhang Ruochin must be a spy for the Undead Clan. It's inconvenient for our Zhengu Ancient Clan to take action against him, but he can't escape the punishment of the Ministry of War.
Only by killing Zhang Ruochin will the Mingwang Sword Tomb return to peace.
<<>>
When the news spread that Zhang Ruochin was going to have a life-or-death battle with several half-saints from the Ministry of War, people flocked to witness the scene, eager to see him bathed in blood after five steps. |
