Chapter 862

Because he had learned that the Fire Emperor had been sent to the Medicine Emperor's shop before Leng Ruan even arrived, he naturally knew the strength of the Medicine Emperor's shop, so he hadn't been too worried.

But he never expected that even the Fire Emperor's personal guard would come to seek him out now, which proved that the situation was serious.

However, Lüqiu still cherished his godson, the Fire Emperor, very much; after all, this was the only offspring left behind by his old friend.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he said, "Let him in."

"Creak~"

The door opened, and a youth ran in from outside in a great hurry.

"Hoo~ This subordinate pays respects to the Ancestor!"

This guard was undoubtedly excited when he saw Lüqiu, because this Ancestor was the strongest person in Donghuangcheng, and he only appeared when major events occurred in Donghuangcheng; he was usually impossible to see...

Never did he expect that he would see this supreme powerhouse at such close range today.

Looking at his panicked expression, Lüqiu's worry increased even more: "Speak, what is the matter?"

The guard hurriedly gathered his thoughts and said, "Reporting to the Ancestor, when we sent Lord Fire Emperor to the Medicine Emperor's shop, Wuma Yixuan informed us that we need..."

After listening to the guard explain the situation clearly, Lüqiu remained calm on the surface, but he was stunned on the inside.

He had just forced Leng Ruan away, and now he was told that he needed the medicinal herbs from that family to treat the Fire Emperor. This made him feel as uncomfortable and conflicted as if he had eaten a dead child.

After a few seconds of silence, he said to the guard, "Very well, I understand. You may withdraw for now."

"Yes!"

The guard stood up, bowed, and then left the place.

After the guard left, Lüqiu's face instantly turned livid. In a fit of anger, he picked up his teacup and crushed it!

He was now extremely annoyed and regretful. If he had been able to talk properly with Leng Ruan about compensation just now, then this matter might have been perfectly resolved.

Now, things were bad; as soon as he had a falling out, news came from the Fire Emperor's side. It truly caught him off guard.

But then again, he still cherished his godson, the Fire Emperor, extremely much. Now that he was severely injured to this extent, Lüqiu definitely could not ignore it. Leng Ruan had said,

that sending people now would definitely not work. Leng Ruan had just said that anyone in Donghuangcheng would be killed without mercy.

Lüqiu believed it, and he also knew that Leng Ruan had the guts to do it.

So, the only one who could save the Fire Emperor now was himself. It was just that if he were to go and save him this time, he would definitely have to pay a huge price.

There was no need to even consider this; anyone would do the same.

His expression changed again and again, but he still could not think of a better way. Even for a powerhouse like him, who had reached the peak of the True God level, there were some things he could not do.

For example, in this matter, there were originally medicinal herbs in the human race to treat him, but unfortunately, they had gone extinct hundreds of years ago. Now, the only substitute medicine was found in the Demon race.

So, no matter how powerful his strength was, he could not conjure medicinal herbs out of thin air.

Lüqiu stood on the spot, lost in thought for dozens of seconds, and then silently walked toward the secret chamber where he hid his treasures.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

It was already half an hour later when Leng Ruan returned to the Heaven-Reaching Gang, full of anger.

Before setting off, he never expected that after not seeing him for a while, Lüqiu's skin would become thicker and thicker.

After such a big incident, he actually refused to take any responsibility at all.

Looking at the earthy-yellow barrier that had not yet been withdrawn, and then seeing the wooden house inside that had been bombed into a dilapidated state by the divine shuttle, his brows could not help but furrow.

The Heaven-Reaching Gang was now somewhat chaotic because of this disturbance.

Because this was their second home, and some of them had even moved here with their wives and daughters.

But many people had died in the Fire Emperor's sudden attack, leading to a state of extreme desolation now.

And at this moment, Divine Lord Rong Shao was recuperating from his injuries after being hit by the origin fire-type rules during the battle.

Now, everything related to affairs and aftermath was being handled by Gong Jian.

Although he was a human lord, this person was extremely disgusted with the human race. Furthermore, because he had always done a good job within the Heaven-Reaching Gang, both the Demon race and the humans who came to seek refuge had a high opinion of him.

Even someone at Leng Ruan's level had no aversion to him.

When he saw Leng Ruan descend from the sky, he hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Ancestor, you are back. Divine Lord Rong Shao asked me to inform you that he is currently healing; if you have anything to say, you can tell me directly."

Leng Ruan nodded and then said, "Very well, Gong Jian, make arrangements. I want to see that youth who helped Rong Shao."

"Yes, Ancestor, please wait a moment. I will go and notify him right now."

After speaking.

Gong Jian held his token and ran quickly toward the direction of the closed-door cultivation area!

Soon.

He arrived at that area and then relied on the token to descend rapidly.

It didn't take long before he arrived outside the cave dwelling where Zhao Xing was in closed-door cultivation.

After using the token to establish a communication channel with the inside, Gong Jian immediately said, "King Prince Hong Xing, Ancestor Leng Ruan wants to meet with you. May I ask if you are available now?"

Chapter 293: Meeting a True God! Zhao Xing's Identity Exposed!

At this moment, Zhao Xing was sitting cross-legged on a golden cushion, reflecting on today's battle.

After today's battle, he thoroughly understood the gap between himself and the powerhouses; it was simply like heaven and earth.

If it weren't for the 'Time Pause' move, he really might not have been able to intervene today.

Just as he was pondering these things, the entrance to the cave dwelling suddenly flickered with light, accompanied by Gong Jian's voice.

Hearing his words, Zhao Xing pondered for a few seconds and said, "Hmm, I understand. Wait for me for a moment, I'll be right there."

Anyway, this matter would happen sooner or later; he might as well respond generously, which would also make him appear confident.

If he were to be hesitant and not face it, it would be easier for people to see through his flaws, and this would instead make his own position unstable.

So, Zhao Xing, who hadn't entered a state of cultivation yet, quickly agreed to the matter.

After adjusting his aura, Zhao Xing slowly sat up from the ground.

Then he solemnly gave instructions to Zhuyue, telling her not to run around.

And Zhuyue clearly knew that although she was wronged this time, she had brought a great disaster here, and she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

So now she was naturally extremely obedient and promised Zhao Xing that she would cultivate well in closed-door.

"Very well, then go to the cushion and cultivate. This is the place where the entire cave dwelling gathers energy. On it, your thoughts will be emptied, and your comprehension of the power of rules will also be greatly improved."

"Very well, I understand, Brother Zhao. If you have things to do, go ahead and get busy."

After speaking, Zhuyue sat cross-legged on the golden cushion and began to close her eyes and cultivate.

Seeing her like an obedient little lamb, Zhao Xing finally felt relieved, opened the stone door, and walked out.

"King Prince Hong Xing, I am truly impressed. Even the True God-level Fire Emperor, you managed to find a way to infect him. Is there anything you can't do?"

"Heh heh, I just assisted Divine Lord Rong Shao, and since the matter was caused by my sister, doing this was the right thing to do."

On the way.

Gong Jian still couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, and Zhao Xing didn't explain it to him in detail.

Gong Jian remembered that when Zhao Xing first came here, he was only a King-level existence.

At that time, although he was extremely shocked by his identity, from the perspective of his rank, he still held some disdain for him.

It wasn't until Zhao Xing suddenly broke through to the seventh level of the Venerable Realm that he was taken aback.

Later, when Zhao Xing used puppets to kill two demigods, he was even more shocked.

And now, something even more outrageous had happened; even when True God-level powerhouses were fighting, Zhao Xing still had a way to interfere. He was truly a man who was hard to see through.

He seemed to radiate a sense of mystery from the inside out, making him completely elusive.

Therefore, he didn't feel surprised at all that Leng Ruan wanted to see Zhao Xing.

Soon.

Zhao Xing, led by Gong Jian, arrived at a secret room within the Heaven-Reaching Gang.

"Ancestor, the person has been invited. This subordinate will take his leave."

Gong Jian knew that he definitely couldn't be present for the following conversation, so he took the initiative to speak.

And it was precisely because he was sensible and had good judgment that he was liked by everyone.

Leng Ruan also nodded at him: "Hmm, hurry up and restore the construction within the Heaven-Reaching Gang."

After speaking, his gaze shifted to Zhao Xing again.

When he saw Zhao Xing, especially noticing that he was only at the seventh level of the Venerable Realm, Leng Ruan was immediately filled with curiosity: "Come, little friend, please take a seat."

"Thank you, True God Leng!"

"Ha ha, little friend truly has great methods, actually being able to seal that guy, the Fire Emperor, in place."

"True God, you flatter me. I just happened to have a life-saving divine object brought from my family, and I used it when I encountered that crisis."

"Good, good. Little friend is truly worthy of being from a great family; you certainly have courage."
