King of Creation-Chapter 765 - 755: Looking for Trouble

Ye Zhen used the Mid-grade Spiritual Artifact Thousand Vine to rescue Bai Zizai. Why did Ye Zhen regret it just as the green light of the Thousand Vine started to ensnare the enemy?

Ye Zhen’s regret was not because he revealed the Spiritual Artifact of the Establishment King Gan Rusong in front of others. For Ye Zhen, it was indifferent; instead, it would make others more wary of him.

The true reason for Ye Zhen’s regret was that he lost a great opportunity to probe the reality of Bai Zizai.

Previously, through many exchanges with Fengh Qingyue, Ye Zhen concluded that in the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, any martial artist who excessively provoked Bai Zizai, like Yua Huaisong did, would mysteriously die!

Aside from that, Bai Zizai had various oddities, like Fengh Qingyue recalled, Bai Zizai looked youthful for nearly twenty years, with white hair and youthful face, never aging or changing.

He was sometimes bullied by arrogant martial artists of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, but internal and external wounds would quickly heal. He survived several wars of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect as a Soul Sea realm martial artist.

The scattered information made Ye Zhen think Bai Zizai might not be as simple as he seemed, and he had always wanted to test this out. Yet, he never had the chance.

Today’s encirclement of Zhu Ling was accidental. Originally, this should have been the best chance to probe Bai Zizai’s reality, but Ye Zhen instinctively moved.

Of course, the Spiritual Artifact being at his will, with just a thought from his Divine Sense, Ye Zhen could retract the Thousand Vine entwining Zhu Ling, thereby probing Bai Zizai’s reality.

However, Ye Zhen couldn’t bear to be that ruthless. After all, Bai Zizai had helped him. If Ye Zhen’s deliberate probing caused the death of this elder who was always cheerful, Ye Zhen wouldn’t be able to forgive himself!

All these thoughts flashed through Ye Zhen’s mind, in just an instant.

The green vine light shot from the Thousand Vine swiftly wrapped around Zhu Ling’s ankle like a green lightning bolt. Suddenly, Zhu Ling turned around and looked with immense terror.

"Let me go! Get away from me!"

Realizing he was about to be trapped, Zhu Ling roared like a mad tiger, a terrifying black flame spewing from his palm, burning the green vine light wrapped around his ankle.

Zhu Ling was indeed scared. The eerie cold black flame was incredibly terrifying. Once the green vine light touched the black flame, it instantly turned to ash.

However, with Ye Zhen’s frantic urging, more green vine light wrapped around Zhu Ling’s ankle. Each time he could burn a hundred or so vines, but as he did so, three to four hundred more wrapped around his ankle and spread to his legs and waist.

The power of the Mid-grade Spiritual Artifact was no small matter. In the blink of an eye, Zhu Ling was tightly bound by the green vine light. Even though black flames continuously burned these vines, their burning speed couldn’t match the speed of the Thousand Vine’s generation.

"Ye Zhen, if you don’t want to die, you better let me go. You’re forcing me to take the Violent Spirit Pill!" Zhu Ling’s face showed a hint of madness, a purple-black pill appearing near his lips.

Ye Zhen’s expression suddenly changed. If Zhu Ling with his terrifying cultivation swallowed the Violent Spirit Pill and exploded the Spiritual Power of the Dantian, possibly everything within several kilometers would be razed to the ground.

Just as Ye Zhen was extremely worried, the air behind Zhu Ling suddenly twisted, and Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong’s figure appeared out of nowhere behind Zhu Ling.

Feeling something, Zhu Ling turned his head, eyes widening, and cried out in a trembling voice, "Sect Leader..."

The moment "Sect Leader" came out, a streak of crimson light emerged in front of Jian Qianxiong, and in the next moment, Zhu Ling’s head flew skyward, his neck spewing blood arrows before collapsing to the ground.

With one flick, Zhu Ling’s two storage rings appeared in Jian Qianxiong’s hand, and then his face sank completely.

"Dare to say I wronged you! The Violent Spirit Pill is such a Forbidden Pill; even the Divine Sect has only a few stocked, yet you have twenty! What do you plan to do with so many? What are your intentions?" Jian Qianxiong angrily shouted.

A bizarre scene occurred; Zhu Ling’s severed head, held by Jian Qianxiong, seemed to retain awareness, blinking pleas for mercy.

With a move of his Divine Sense, Jian Qianxiong’s expression turned cold again. "Hmph, this wealth must be thoroughly checked by me to see how much good you’ve taken from the Divine Sect over the years! Your Remnant Soul will be handed over to the Punishment Hall for treatment."

"No....."

Zhu Ling’s still bleeding head let out a piercing wail, but it was to no avail. Jian Qianxiong casually tossed Zhu Ling’s light-wrapped head to the Punishment Hall Elder Tus De who had just arrived.

"Sect Leader, rest assured. I will carefully extract from this miserable soul everything, including his grandmother’s lovers!" Punishment Hall Elder Tus De laughed sinisterly and whisked away with Zhu Ling’s head.

Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong’s gaze turned to Ye Zhen, "If I haven’t mistaken, this Mid-grade Spirit Artifact Thousand Vine should be the treasure held by Gan Rusong, the Peak Master of Elder Peak of Profound Moon Sect?"

Ye Zhen’s expression moved, and very candidly nodded, "That’s right, it’s the old fellow’s treasure, just got my hands on it and haven’t warmed it yet, but already had to use it."

This time, it was Jian Qianxiong’s turn to be stunned. He didn’t expect Ye Zhen to admit so directly. He thought Ye Zhen would deny it, completely beyond his expectations.

Staring for a while, Jian Qianxiong looked at Ye Zhen with some surprise, "Don’t forget, within three days, there must be results!" Reminding once again, the air around Jian Qianxiong slightly rippled, and his figure vanished into thin air.

Zhu Ling died, and on that afternoon, a small-scale purge took place within the Sun and Moon Divine Sect. The range of the purge mainly encompassed a substantial number of direct and collateral relatives Zhu Ling brought into the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, roughly over a hundred people, all were executed on the spot.

Even some middle-level members of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect that Zhu Ling had previously nurtured and promoted were heavily implicated, with dozens of people dismissed on the spot and ordered to report to the Main Sect.

These people will, after screening, be subjected to the most vicious Divine Soul Oath that triggers the Innate Divine Soul before they are again trusted and accepted by the Divine Sect.

For a time, the Divine Sect was notably tense, with the greatest beneficiary being Nian Xinghe, who almost took control of half of the power of the Inner Affairs Hall.

And the other half of the power was controlled by a little-known Sun and Moon Divine Guard named Jis Fei. It is said that this Jis Fei was previously the personal guard of Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong.

.....

"You plan to create some trouble for the other Four Great Forces? Within three days, you want to change the current setup of Qinglan Martial City; what do you intend to do?" Waking up to a starry sky, Fengh Qingyue inquired about Ye Zhen’s plans, which she had heard about in the Heart Refining Fire Prison.

"I already have some ideas on this matter, but we’ll have to play it by ear. Tomorrow, I plan to first go to Stars Tower to check things out," Ye Zhen said.

In fact, Ye Zhen was more anxious than anyone about this matter. If it really gets out, Ye Zhen would not only offend one or two Establishment Kings but might face the pursuit of more than six Establishment Kings from the Profound Moon Sect.

For any force, any sect, the death of an Establishment King is definitely enough to shake heaven and earth. Once discovered, it means a relentless pursuit!

The only thing Ye Zhen can do currently is to delay time as much as possible. With the resources Ye Zhen currently has in hand, within a year, cultivation and combat power will soar once again.

Especially the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, currently only at the Low-Grade Spirit Tier. If the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten can break through to the Mid-Grade Spirit Tier, then as long as no ambush is encountered, with the kitten’s speed and Ye Zhen’s enhancement to the kitten, Ye Zhen is confident in escaping from the pursuit of any Establishment King.

But as it stands, the Stars Tower and Longevity Sect have already dispatched a large number of martial artists with communication tasks, only to be intercepted halfway by personnel arranged by Jian Qianxiong. However, once their deaths are discovered, these two organizations will find ways to convey this message to the Profound Moon Sect.

Therefore, this matter needs to be expedited, and done quickly! frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"You plan to use Stars Tower as the breakthrough point?" Fengh Qingyue’s elegant brows furrowed, "Tomorrow I’ll go with you, should anything happen, I can also help you."

"No need!"

Ye Zhen straightforwardly refused, "I’ll go alone; I won’t rush it; I’ll act as the situation demands. You know about me disguising as Jiao Xi, when it comes to disguise, I’m quite skilled!" Ye Zhen’s lips curled into a smile!

.....

Because Stars Tower focuses on commerce, it can usually be found in the most bustling areas of every Martial City.

For instance, in Qinglan Martial City, over thirty percent of the prime shops are controlled by Stars Tower. These shops are each lucrative properties, making any martial artist aware of the circumstances envious.

However, even with envy, no force or martial artist dares to target these shops under Stars Tower’s ownership, not even daring to cause disturbances.

That’s because Stars Tower is backed by one of the Five Great Forces.

Moreover, every single shop under Stars Tower, due to centuries of commercial experience, each shop is the most lively one in Qinglan Martial City, bustling with crowds every day, yet no martial artist dares to cause trouble.

Today, in the ground floor lobby of Stars Tower in Qinglan Martial City, a young gentleman with a folding fan suddenly approached a shopkeeper, the light of a storage ring flashed, and he immediately placed down a heap of Mid-grade Spirit Crystals like a small mountain!

The young gentleman with the folding fan stepped on the Mid-grade Spirit Crystal small mountain, arrogantly shook the fan while shouting, "Demon Core, Heaven Rank Demon Core, as many as you have, I want them all!"
