"Ale said: I cultivate the killing sword technique and the Nine Turns of Life and Death Decision, destined to take a road of slaughter with nine deaths and one life. Now, my cultivation has reached the Xuanji boundary, I decide to go to the black market to make a stir."

  "Hei Shi said: The black market is a dead end for others, but for you, it might be a good way out."

  The power of the black market is also quite large, covering the world, with the strength to rival the Wu City Money House, the Mingwen Guild, and the Baiyue Demon Sect, it is a gathering place for evil Taoists and fugitives.

  "His Royal Highness, the Ninth Prince Lin Chenyu and Lin Xianxian have sent a palace maid to inform you that the monthly martial arts tournament is about to begin. They invite you to come watch at the royal martial arts arena." Yuner rushed over in a hurry, giving Zhang Ruochen a slight bow.

  "Oh, the monthly trial has arrived so soon. Alright, Ill head to the Wang Clans training grounds immediately." A hint of a smile appeared on Zhang Ruo Chens face as he glanced at Ah Yue, only to find that her expression hadnt changed in the slightest, looking extremely calm.

  Zhang Ruochen nodded slightly and said, "Do you want to go take a look together?"

  "Whatever," said Arlo.

  Zhang Ruochen, A Le and Yun Er arrived at the Wang Clans training grounds, where all the princes and princesses were already waiting.

  The Lin family, apart from Lin Chenyu and Lin Xiangxian, also brought four guards to the Wang clans training grounds.

  Seeing A Le and Zhang Ruochen walking into the martial arts arena together, including Lin Xiangxian, all the Lin family warriors were slightly stunned.

  "Thats not Second Misss slave, he actually didnt die, what a big life." One of the four guards sneered.

  "Even if he didnt die, whats the difference? His meridians are already severed, hes just a useless person." Another guard said disdainfully.

  The four guards following Lin Xiangxian were the same four men who had broken both of Ah Les arms and legs outside the Wu City Arena.

  They had thought they had beaten A Le to death, so now, seeing A Le following behind Zhang Ruo Chen, they were naturally very surprised.

  Among them, a guard with an aquiline nose walked out from behind Lins back, holding a hundred-pound iron rod and scolding: "A Le, you are the second young ladys slave, why dont you kneel down immediately when you see the second young lady?"

  A Les eyes turned cold and he glared at one of the guards.

  That guard was just a late-stage cultivator of the Yellow Extreme Boundary. Seeing A Les gaze, his heart suddenly felt a chill.

  His meridians are all broken, Im afraid hell do something

  "That guard continued: Whats wrong with a slave who wants to turn the world upside down? Today, Lin Zhuo will replace Second Miss and properly teach you, this lowly slave, a lesson."

  One of the guards gripped an iron rod with both hands and swung it horizontally at Dalies waist.

  "Wow"

  A flash of sword light.

  One of the guards heads flew off from his neck, and a three-foot-high column of blood shot up from his neck.

  Headless corpses lay heavily on the ground.

  The three guards following Lin Xiangxian were all stunned, never expecting that Ah Le would dare to take action and kill Lin Zhuo.

  Moreover, his sword was too fast, and it was impossible to see how he drew it.

  Not to mention the three Lin family guards, even Lin Xuanji didnt see clearly A Les sword move.

  Only Lin Chenyu saw clearly, a hint of a smile on his face, "A Le, you are indeed the life-taking sword guest of our Lin family, your cultivation is stronger than before, and your sword is faster than before. Have you reached the Xuanji realm?"

  Ale said: "Young Master Lin, the former Ale was a slave of the Lin family. Now, Ale is just Ale and has nothing to do with the Lin family."

  "Ale, youre too naive. Once a slave, always a slave. If you dare to betray your master, its against the laws of the country and will be punished by lingchi. Lin Xiansan said calmly: "Since youve already broken through the Xuanji boundary, return to the Lin family again. As long as youre loyal to the Lin family, youll have a good future."

  Ales eyes were extremely sharp, and he said: "Miss Lin, the reason I agreed to be your slave is because you once saved my life. However, outside the martial arts arena in Wu City, you have already killed the past Ale. Your lifesaving grace has naturally been cancelled out. The current Ale will not be a slave to anyone. If you force me, you will definitely die."

  Lin Xuans fingers trembled with anger as he said, "You dare to rebel against me? Come on!"

  "Cousin, Ive bought this slave," Zhang Ruochen said as he walked towards Lin Xiangxiang, pointing at Ah Le.

  Although Lin Xuan was arrogant, there was one thing she didnt say wrong. In Yunwu County, if a slave betrayed their master, it was considered a serious crime and would indeed be punished by lingchi.

  Lin Xuan saw Zhang Ruochen and a hint of smile appeared in her eyes, saying: "Brother-in-law, can I take it that youre asking for my help?"

  Zhang Ruochen said: "If you must understand it that way, then so be it."

  "Alright, since its you, Brother Lin, asking me personally, as your sister, how can I not give you face? As long as you give me one million silver coins, Ill immediately sell this slave to you." Lin Xians chin was raised, with a faint smile on her face.

  An early-stage Mystic Realm slave is worth at most 10,000 silver coins. No one would spend a million silver coins to buy an early-stage Mystic Realm slave. Lin Xuanxian naturally thought so too.

  Jiugun Zhu immediately said: "Lin Xianxiang, why dont you go and grab one million silver coins to buy a hundred slaves at the initial stage of Xuanji Boundary?"

  "If you cant afford to pay in silver coins, then dont pretend to be a good person. Being a good person requires paying the price."

  Zhang Ruochen interrupted Lin Xianxians words and said, "One million silver coins is indeed a very reasonable price. Its settled then. Within one month, I will send one million silver coins to the Lin Manor."

  Everyone in the scene, including Lin Xiangshan, was stunned.

  Spent one million silver coins to buy a lowly slave

  Only fools would do something like this at a loss.

  Ninth Brother

  The Ninth Princess wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhang Ruochen.

  Zhang Ruochen stared at Lin Xianer and stretched out one hand, saying: "Cousin, can you now give me the slave contract?"

  "Cousin, youre really generous and extravagant, Im impressed. One million silver coins are just enough to be my dowry when I marry the Seventh Prince, thank you for your kind assistance." Lin Xuanxuan revealed a dazzling smile, took out a beast skin contract, and handed it to Zhang Ruochen.

  Zhang Ruochens face also had a faint smile, took over the beast skin contract book, confirmed that the name on it was A Le, and then circulated the true energy in his body to the five fingers.

  "Boom"

  The beast skin contract was shattered by the true energy and turned into pieces of shredded skin the size of fingernails.

  Everyone was stunned again.

  Spent one million silver coins to buy a lowly slave, and then actually destroyed the slave contract. Has the Ninth Prince really gone mad?

  A deep gaze was cast by Ah Le at Zhang Ruochen, saying: "From now on, I will repay you a hundredfold"

  Scoff

  One of the guards behind Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Even if you multiply it by a hundred times, one billion silver coins is still an astronomical amount. Even if youre a strong cultivator at the Tianji Realm, accumulating wealth for a lifetime wouldnt be enough to reach that amount."

  Lin Xuanxuan didnt believe it either, thinking that Ah Le was too naive.

  Even the master of the nine counties shook his head slightly, feeling that Zhang Ruochen was not worth it. Even for those large families, it was very difficult to take out one million silver coins at once.

  Her heart secretly sighed, since Ninth Brother had already made his decision, she could only give in to that cheap Lin Xuanji.

  Jiugun Zhuo stood majestically in the center of the martial arts arena, elegant and refined, with a slender figure, holding a war sword, pointing at Lin Xianer, saying: "Lin Xianer, dont be complacent, the one-month deadline has arrived, now I formally challenge you."

  Lin Xuan had just obtained a wealth of one million silver coins, and she couldnt help but feel extremely pleased with herself. With her cultivation having made great progress, how could she possibly put the Ninth Princess in her eyes?

  "The Ninth Princess is indeed confident, but I wonder if she will still be so arrogant after losing to me for the third time." Lin Xiansan smiled.

  The Ninth Princess smiled with confidence: "If you lose to me, I wont let you off so easily."

  Lin Xuanxiang was like a lily that had not been stained by dust, stunningly beautiful, wearing white clothes fluttering in the wind, walking towards the martial arts arena, standing opposite Jiuguos master.

  Her eyes glanced at Zhang Ruochen and said, "Brother, I want to change the rules a bit. If I win against Jiuguang Zhu, I dont want you to apologize to me, but instead do something for me."

  "Whats wrong?"

  Her eyes slightly upturned, Lin Xuan smiled and said: "I havent thought it through yet, when I have, Ill definitely tell you. Dont worry, youre my cousin, how could I possibly harm you?"

  Zhang Ruochen looked at Jiugongzhu and nodded, saying: "I have confidence in Ninth Sister, I promise you."

  Upon hearing Zhang Ruochens words, the Ninth Princess felt her pressure increase manifold. In her heart, she secretly thought: I must win and absolutely cannot lose; I cannot let Lin Xuanjiu get away with it again. With my current cultivation level plus the Tianhe Jade Classic, winning against Lin Xuanjiu shouldnt be a difficult task.

  The Ninth Princess naturally understood the importance of this battle. In the past month, she had taken out all her savings to buy cultivation resources, and her cultivation had made rapid progress.

  " Ninth brother, rest assured that ninth sister will not disappoint you." The beautiful eyes of the Ninth Princess revealed a hint of a smile as she passed a mysterious glance to Zhang Ruochen.

  "Could it be that she has already successfully cultivated the first level of the Tianhe Jade Classic?" Zhang Ruochen was slightly surprised.

  "Spare me the nonsense, Ninth Princess. Youre destined to fall at my hands once again today."

  Lin Xuansan let out a cold hum, and with a swift motion, she drew out the Starlight Treasure Sword and stabbed it towards Jiugun Zhu.

  As soon as he drew his sword, a half-zhang long sword light was dragged out, emitting an ear-piercing sword hum.

  "Huang Ji Jing Da Yuan Man." Zhang Ruo Chens eyebrows slightly furrowed. Lin Xian Xiang had just drawn her sword, and Zhang Ruo Chen had already seen through her martial arts realm.

  Her cultivation has improved too quickly, in just a short month, she broke through from the Yellow Extreme Boundarys Great Extreme Position to the Yellow Extreme Boundarys Great Perfection, if she hadnt taken the elixir, it would be impossible to have such a cultivation speed.

  The third prince shook his head and smiled, saying: "Lin Xuanjis cultivation has reached the Great Perfection of the Yellow Extreme Realm. This is it, Ninth Sister will definitely lose."

  "If Ninth Sister loses, wont Ninth Brother have to do something for Lin Xuaner? If Lin Xuaner makes him kneel down, wouldnt that be a loss of face for our royal family?" The Fifth Princes eyes turned slightly cold.

  The third prince said: "My ninth brother is too young and vigorous, let him suffer some setbacks, its also a good thing for him."
