“Brother, my son died so tragically!
“I only had one son!
“Your Majesty, please make a decision for us!”.
Watching these sorrowful members of the royal family, King Zhenluo felt a headache. “My fourth son also died. I understand your grief, but they provoked the Imperial Preceptor, and I can’t do anything about it.”
“Does that mean our children died in vain? We can poison him, or we can seek refuge in the White Bone Hall and let them avenge us!” The crowd was full of hatred and their expressions were fierce.
“I didn’t want to say it but I have to, now that things have come to this.” King Zhenluo knew that if he didn’t explain the reason, these people might cause trouble.
“Fifty years ago, the previous king had the entire Cai family, who were ministers at the time, executed. But when they were executed, one person was missing. His name was Cai Yongxiang, and he escaped from Zhenluo and joined the White Bone Hall.
“As you know, my second son is a disciple of the White Bone Hall. Two months ago, he sent someone to pass on a message that Cai Yongxiang successfully reached the Foundation Establishment stage and became a true disciple of the White Bone Hall.
“He also threatened to wipe out all the bloodline of my royal family and avenge the extermination of his family years ago. In order to protect the bloodline of the royal family, I made the decision to become a vassal of the Blood God Sect in exchange for protection.”
After revealing the secret that had been weighing on his heart, King Zhenluo’s expression relaxed considerably.
“So that’s it!” The people suddenly realized what King Zhenluo had been doing recently.
King Zhenluo solemnly said, “You should understand the seriousness of this matter. It must be kept strictly confidential. If it gets out, there will certainly be some who will have rebellious thoughts.”
“Your Majesty, rest assured, we will keep our mouths shut.” The people quickly promised.
“Alright, that’s it. You can leave now.” King Zhenluo was mentally and physically exhausted. He waved his hand, signaling them to leave.
“We take our leave.” Although the members of the royal family were grief-stricken, they had to accept that the continuation of the entire royal family was a priority.
After they left, King Zhenluo called out, “Guard!”
A guard walked into the palace. “Your Majesty.”
“Send someone to keep an eye on them, and if they made any moves to harm the royal tutor, they were to be killed without regard for their identities.”
King Zhenluo was afraid that some of them would be blinded by the pain of losing a child and do something to offend Zhang Chen.
“Yes!” The guard received the order and left.
Ever since Zhang Chen killed the fourth prince, no one dared to disturb him, and the palace where he was located became off-limits to members of the royal family.
Days passed, and Wu Chang did not appear, nor did any of the disciples of the White Bone Hall.
The peaceful days lasted for half a year until they were finally shattered.
Zhang Chen, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes as if sensing something.
“King Zhenluo, come out and die!” An angry shout spread throughout the entire palace.
Above the palace, a thin, bony figure dressed in a skeleton robe, with eyes full of hatred, stood.
He was Cai Yongxiang, the only survivor of the Cai family for 50 years and now a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a disciple of the White Bone Hall.
As for his thin, bony appearance, it was due to the cultivation method of the White Bone Hall.
When they reached the highest realm of their cultivation, they would abandon their flesh and blood and transform into bone demon gods.
The people who did not know the reason were shocked. “Who dares to be so bold!”
“Look at the sky, it’s another immortal!”
“He’s here, he’s here, he’s here!” King Zhenluo hid in the palace, looking nervous, and trembling with hope that he could rely on Zhang Chen to take care of everything.
“The former king slaughtered my entire Cai family, and only I escaped. Today, I come to exterminate the bloodline of the Zhenluo royal family and avenge the past!”
As Cai Yongxiang spoke of his hatred, a blood-red light flew over, and Zhang Chen’s voice echoed.
“My Blood God Sect will protect the bloodline of Zhenluo Kingdom’s royal family!”
Seeing that Zhang Chen was at the second level of the Foundation
Establishment realm, Cai Yongxiang’s face darkened. “Fellow Daoist from the Blood God Sect, can you give me some face? I will definitely repay this favor.”
Zhang Chen shook his head. “I’m sorry, but this is an order from my sect that must be fulfilled.”
“Since that’s the case, then let’s see your divine abilities, fellow Daoist!” Cai Yongxiang waved his hand, and a dozen or so skeletons landed.
These skeletons were in the shape of beasts and humans, and each bone gleamed with a metallic luster.
This was the White Bone Hall’s specialty spell, to temper and control skeletons.
Each skeleton was incredibly powerful, harder than gold and stone.
“Kill!
“Crack, crack, crack…’
The skeletons made a clattering sound, not attacking Zhang Chen but heading toward the palace where King Zhenluo was located.
Cai Yongxiang had just broken through to the foundation establishment stage, and these skeletons had not yet been refined to the point where they could fly, but his goal was the bloodline of the Zhenluo royal family.
Blood Devouring Demon Technique!
Zhang Chen condensed the aura of blood and death and struck out with a palm.
“Boom!”
There was a loud noise, and a huge palm print appeared on the ground. The dozen or so skeletons were sent flying and many buildings were destroyed.
“crack, crack, crack…”
However, the skeletons quickly rose up again. There were only a few more cracks on their bones, but they were not serious.
Just as Zhang Chen was about to slap out a second time, Cai Yongxiang raised his hands and several bone spikes shot out.
The target of these bone spikes was also the palace where King Zhen Luo was.
Zhang Chen frowned and slapped the bone spikes with his palm.
“Boom!” The bone spikes turned into countless fragments that flew in all directions.
Was this a battle between immortals?
Everyone in the palace trembled as they felt the earth-shattering power.
Zhang Chen reached into his storage bag and took out the Mad Blood Saber.
Blood Escape Technique!
Blood Burst Technique!
Mad Blood Saber Technique!
Cai Yongxiang knew that the Blood God Sect was fast. The moment Zhang Chen transformed into a blood light, he reacted.
“Bone Armor!”
A large number of white bones pierced his skin, forming a bone armor on his body.
Zhang Chen appeared beside Cai Yongxiang, his arms augmented by the Blood Burst Technique as he slashed out dozens of strikes in an instant.
“Ding, ding, ding. ding…’
The Mad Blood Saber struck the bone armor, producing a metallic sound. Bone fragments scattered, and bone dust floated in the air.
The bony armor was not only tough, but also thick, and even dozens of strikes could not break through it.
“What a tough nut to crack!” Zhang Chen couldn’t help but be amazed.
The advantage of the Blood God Sect was its speed, making it difficult to kill.
The advantage of the White Bone Hall was its strong power and defense.
The fundamental practice of the Blood God Sect was blood, while that of the White Bone Hall was bones, and the two techniques did not have a counter-restraint relationship.
Without resorting to consuming Blood God Sons, Zhang Chen’s cultivation was only one level higher than the opponent’s , making it difficult to kill them.
The reason he did not use the Blood God Sons was that Wu Chang had not yet appeared.
If Wu Chang was hiding in the shadows observing and discovered that he had so many Blood God Sons, he might not dare to appear.
Compared to the mission, Zhang Chen was more eager to deal with Wu Chang.
Difficult to kill didn’t mean impossible. It was only a matter of time.
Under the influence of the Mad Blood Saber Technique and the madness, Cai Yongxiang’s mind became hazy, becoming a target for the attacks.
However, there were still more than a dozen skeletons to deal with.
In just a moment, more than a dozen skeletons had already approached the palace where King Zhenluo was located..
