Chapter 125: Small Success

  "Song of Cloud and Sword"

  Huang Yanchen's arm swung out, a sword energy over ten feet long flew out, just one sword, cutting the bodies of more than 20 soldiers in half, killing and wounding a large area.

  The power of this sword was extremely strong, and it stunned all the soldiers, with no one daring to take a step forward.

  If a Xuanbang warrior really gets angry, he can absolutely wipe out an army of thousands. After witnessing Huang Yanzhen's strength, who would dare to rush up and seek death?

  Huang Yanchen wiped the fresh blood off his sword with his sleeve, sheathed it and said: "Go back and tell the Four Directions King that if he wants to avenge Prince Huo Xing, he can come find me Huang Yanchen anytime."

  Huang Yanchen walked up to Zhang Ruochen's face, slightly stopped her footsteps, puffed out her not-so-plump chest, and said: "Zhang Ruochen, I've taken on the revenge of the Four Directions State for you. Consider it a return of your favor. However, last time I saved a life, you still haven't returned my favor. You can consider giving me a spatial treasure, and we'll be even."

  For the treasure of space, Huang Yanzhen is unforgettable.

  Zhang Ruochen said, "You think that by killing the Prince of Huo Xing, the Prince of Four Sides will not hold me responsible and wait to see. Within half a year, the country of Four Sides will definitely use this matter as an excuse to declare war on the country of Yunwu."

  The soldiers of the four-way county and state took away the head of General Hong Ye and the body of Prince Huo Xing. Half an hour later, all the soldiers left cleanly.

  The air still lingered with a bloody smell.

  Half a month later.

  Four-sided county and state, royal palace.

  The King of the Four Directions stepped down from his throne, gazing at the corpse of Prince Huo Xing, his face ashen, his fists clenched tightly, a powerful aura bursting forth from within him, shattering all the porcelain in the grand hall.

  "Humming"

  The broken porcelain was scattered all over the floor.

  "How detestable! A mysterious warrior dares to be so arrogant, killing my son. I will definitely slaughter her entire clan."

  The King of Sifang roared: "Go and investigate immediately, I must get to the bottom of it, what is the origin of that Huang Yanchen. After investigating, kill all her clansmen, not a single one will be left."

  "Your Majesty, it is not permissible."

  An elderly man with a purple and gold crown walked quickly from outside the hall into the room, slightly bowing to the four princes.

  "The Four-sided King's cold voice said: 'Why?'"

  The expression of the purple-crowned elder was somewhat unusual, and he said in a low voice: "Huang Yanchen is the sixth master of Qian Shui Prefecture, with extremely high innate talent, deeply loved by the king of Qian Shui Prefecture."

  "Qianshui County."

  The face of the Duke of Sifang slightly solidified, as if he had been doused with a basin of cold water, and instantly calmed down.

  Qianshui Prefecture is a superior prefecture, more than ten times stronger than the four surrounding prefectures.

  Although the four-sided county is dominant in the nine counties of Lingxi, once it offends the Qianshui County, it will be a dead end.

  The purple-crowned old man smiled gloomily and said, "Your Majesty, although we can't do anything to Huang Yanchen, we can take this opportunity to make things difficult for Yunwu Prefecture. We'll just announce to the outside world that Prince Huo Xing was killed by Zhang Ruochen, and if the King of Yunwu Prefecture doesn't hand over the murderer and compensate the four prefectures with 80 million silver coins, then the four prefectures will go to war with Yunwu Prefecture."

  The Duke of Sifang's face showed a thoughtful expression, and he began to consider the feasibility of the old man's words.

  As a king, the pain of losing a child is far less important than expanding territory.

  "Will Yunwu County King hand over Zhang Ruochen? Will Yunwu County King compensate with 80 million silver coins?" Western County King muttered to himself.

  The old man smiled faintly: "Inside Yunwu Prefecture, things are not as harmonious as they seem. Many people support the Seventh Prince Zhang Tianguang, so they don't want the Ninth Prince Zhang Ruochen to grow up."

  "If Yunwu County King hands over Zhang Ruochen and pays 800 million silver coins as compensation, it will prove that Yunwu County King is weak and incompetent, and has already surrendered to the four-party counties. At the same time, the compensation of 800 million silver coins is also a huge consumption of Yunwu County's national power. As long as we get 800 million silver coins, it won't be difficult for us to conquer Yunwu County under the principle of 'one side suffers loss while the other gains'."

  "If the King of Yunwu County insists on keeping Zhang Ruochen, we only need to march our army to the border and push horizontally towards Yunwu County. Internally, Yunwu County will definitely shift all the blame to Zhang Ruochen and the King of Yunwu, thinking that they brought disaster to Yunwu County. At that time, Yunwu County will surely be in chaos. Taking down Yunwu County will be as easy as taking something out of a pocket."

  The Duke of Sifang nodded and said, "Alright, let's do it this way. Now, send a declaration of war to the Duke of Yunwu. If he doesn't hand over the murderer and compensate with silver coins, by the beginning of next year, it will be the time for the destruction of Yunwu State."

  The turmoil of Yunwu County and Sifang County, Zhang Ruochen could guess a few points, but didn't take it to heart, his whole mind was in the Mofeng Valley cultivating the Wind Dragon Shadow.

  The contradictions between the Cloud Martial Nation and the Four Nations had long existed, and the death of Huo Xing was just a spark. Even if Huo Xing hadn't died, the Four Nations would have found another excuse to declare war on the Cloud Martial Nation.

  Now, only constantly improving one's own cultivation is the most important thing. Just like Huang Yanzhen, relying solely on his own strength, he can intimidate a thousand elite troops.

  If her cultivation broke through to the Earth Extreme Realm, even if she was surrounded by a large army of 10,000 people, she would be able to kill her way out with ease.

  Only with strong strength can we grasp the initiative.

  With half a month left before the quarterly assessment, Zhang Ruochen finally cultivated the Wind Chasing Dragon Shadow to small success.

  One day later, Huang Yanchen also cultivated to minor completion.

  Five days later, Du Mu Xing Ling finally cultivated the Wind Dragon Shadow to a minor completion.

  Du Mu Xing Ling carefully sized up Zhang Ruo Chen, pursed her lips tightly and said coldly: "I've spent more time than you, and our cultivation is also higher than yours. However, you were the first to cultivate the Wind Dragon Shadow to a small success. Are you hiding something from us? You must have some secret that you haven't told us."

  "Perhaps it's because my spiritual power is stronger than yours, so I was able to successfully cultivate earlier." Zhang Ruo Chen smiled slightly and paused before asking: "Duanmu Shijie, after you cultivated the Wind Dragon Shadow to a small completion, what is the strongest explosive speed you can achieve?"

  Upon hearing Zhang Ruochen's words, Duanmu Xingling smiled and said: "The Wind Chasing Dragon Shadow is indeed an extraordinary martial skill. My current strongest explosive speed can reach sixty-seven meters per second. Dust sister, how about you?"

  "Sixty-nine meters per second."

  Huang Yanchen gently stroked his chin, revealing a hint of a smile, and said: "If I can go to the black market and buy a drop of holy liquid, my speed might reach 70 meters per second. However, it's best if we students from Wushu Academy don't get involved with the black market. Let's leave this matter to Father King and have him help me get a drop of holy liquid delivered to Wushu Academy."

  "I've cultivated the Wind Dragon Shadow, I feel my strength has increased greatly. I want to go challenge other Xuanbang warriors and improve my ranking. Dust Sister, are you going or not?" said Duanmu Xingling.

  "Of course I'll go." Huang Yanchen's hand was already on the hilt of his sword, and he had been impatient for a while.

  For her, the higher the ranking on the Immortal Ascension Rankings, the more face she would have.

  After Du Mu Xingling and Huang Yanchen left, Zhang Ruochen brought Xiao Hei back to the West Wing and called Zhang Shaochu and Liu Chengfeng together.

  Zhang Ruochen stared at the two people sitting opposite him and said, "Now there is one thing that needs you to help me with."

  Regardless of what Zhang Ruochen was referring to, Liu Chengfeng immediately stood up, patted his chest and said: "9th Prince, whatever it is, just say it. As long as I, Liu Chengfeng, can do it, I will definitely get it done properly."

  Zhang Ruochen nodded and took out ten jade bottles filled with Dan medicine, handing them over to Zhang Shaochu and Liu Chengfeng.

  "This is ten bottles of Sanqing Zhenqi Dan, a total of 340 pills. Help me sell them to those newborns. How much do you think one pill of Sanqing Zhenqi Dan can be sold for?"

  Liu Chengfeng looked at the ten bottles of Sanqing True Qi Pills and was slightly surprised. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Outside, the market price of Sanqing True Qi Pill is 5,000 silver coins per pill. In the West Wing, you can exchange one pill for four points of merit value. If we sell it for 3,500 silver coins per pill, there will definitely be many people who come to buy."

  Zhang Shaochu said: "Ten days later is the quarterly assessment, everyone has been desperately improving their cultivation. Even if we sell 3,800 silver coins, they will definitely come to us to buy."

  Zhang Ruochen said: "No matter how much money you buy for one, I only accept 3,000 silver coins. The extra money will all belong to you. However, you must sell them all within ten days."

  Upon hearing Zhang Ruochen's words, both Zhang Shaochu and Liu Chengfeng became extremely excited.

  This is a profit of over 200,000 silver coins, they are naturally very tempted, and if they don't sell it would be foolish.

  "Your Highness Nine Prince can rest assured, it doesn't need ten days at all. Within three days, I, Liu Chengfeng, will definitely sell out all the elixirs."

  Zhang Shaochu also promised that within three days, he would definitely sell out all the medicinal pellets. A large sum of silver was right in front of him, and it was a sure profit.

  Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment, then took out more than 300 bottles of elixirs, totaling several thousand pills. They were all second-grade and first-grade elixirs, including various types such as those that enhanced cultivation, healed wounds, and detoxified poison.

  "Also sell all these elixirs for me. How you sell them is none of my concern. I won't cheat you, the silver coins we earn will be split seven to three. Seven for me, three for you."

  Seeing the dense array of medicinal bottles on the table, Zhang Shaochu was about to go crazy, his entire body's fat trembling with excitement. So many medicinal pills, how much money would they sell for?

  Liu Chengfeng was much calmer and said, "The quality of these medicinal pills is not high, and all the disciples in the Western Academy are top-notch experts at the Xuanji boundary. They don't have a great demand for these medicinal pills. In the Western Academy, they won't sell well."

  Outside, a woman's voice rang out, "Zhang Ruochen, I'll help you sell."

  Zi Yan pushed open the door and walked in from outside, giving Zhang Ruochen a signal with her eyes.

  Zhang Ruochen nodded thoughtfully and followed Zi Qian to a secluded area. When they arrived at a deserted place, Zhang Ruochen asked, "What's your plan?"

  Zi Yan walked ahead, without turning back and said: "Black Market."

  Zhang Ruochen suddenly remembered Zi Yan's identity and said, "Right! How could I forget? You're an assassin in the black market. It's indeed possible for you to take these medicinal pellets to the black market to sell."

  Zi Yan's slender figure, with curves in all the right places, batted her long eyelashes and gazed at Zhang Ruochen, smiling sweetly: "Aren't you afraid that after I sell the medicine, I'll pocket all the silver coins for myself?"

  "If you dare to embezzle my silver coins, I'll chase them back even to the ends of the earth." Zhang Ruo Chen smiled and said: "What are you doing back in the black market?"

  Zhang Ruochen could see that Zi Xian was originally going to return to Hei Shi, so he helped him sell the elixir along the way.

  Zi Yan said: "Last time I bought five and a half drops of Holy True Liquid in the black market, I've already refined it. I plan to go buy another batch, Zhang Ruochen, are you interested?"
