Sikong Two took two more bowls of porridge out of the kitchen. He gave one to Kong Lanyou and the other to Yintuoluo, each with a pair of bamboo chopsticks.

Zhang Ruochen sat opposite Kong Lanyou. They glanced at each other from time to time while eating. The delicate atmosphere was kept on purpose. Nobody wanted to break the silence.

Until a fat black cat zoomed in from the door.

It stood on its hind legs, and raised its forelegs highly. Its round eyes circled for a while, then located Zhang Ruochen and walked to him.

“Eek! Zhang Ruochen, you don’t know how wretched the battle was yesterday in the Pluto Sword Tomb. I was frightened and hid in the Battle Formation instantly, otherwise, I couldn’t have survived.”

Blackie climbed on a wooden stool, and sat on it. It picked up a bamboo shoot and threw it in its mouth. Feeling it was flavorless, it spit it out.

Zhang Ruochen took Blackie with him when he joined the army of the Shi Family to encircle and annihilate the Immortal Vampires in the Golden Sparrow City.

Blackie should have stayed with Li Min at that time, teaching her some secrets of practicing the Spiritual Power.

The minute the Immortal Vampires stormed in the Pluto Sword Tomb, Blackie had taken Li Min to hide in the volcano in the Sword Tomb.

The Battle Formations pre-arranged by him served the purpose well.

That’s why Blackie had been able to witness the fierce battle yesterday. And it didn’t leave the Pluto Sword Tomb for the Sikong Zen Temple until all the Immortal Vampires retreated.

“You didn’t see it. The army of the Immortal Vampires just flooded in. No one could tell how many there were, only the densely arranged black spots could be seen flying in the sky.” Blackie described the picture with vivid language.

Zhang Ruochen said, “How about the Ancient Battle Formation outside the Pluto Sword Tomb, arranged by the Great Talents in the Middle Ages? Couldn’t it stop the Immortal Vampire?”

Blackie shook its head, “It was said that the Immortal Vampires had brought a Celestial Master of Battle Formation to have cracked a small half of the Inscriptions of the Ancient Battle Formation. Together with the Blood Emperor Qingtian’s power, they ripped a hundred-meter-wide opening in the Ancient Battle Formation, and stormed through it.”

“The clan leader of the Ancient Race of Prison Guardians, Wang Beilie, was captured by Blood Emperor Qingtian and was made into a blood slave.”

“Wan Zhaoyi used the Tianming Summoning Rune to alter the Rules of Saintly Way, and even spent half of his blood and 100 years of his living years to activate the 10% power of Emperor Tianming kept in the Tianming Summoning Rune. But he was only able to resist three strikes from Blood Emperor Qingtian, and merely escaped the Pluto Sword Tomb severely wounded.”

“Ling Feiyu took all clan members of the Ancient Race of Prison Guardians to stay back in the Sword Tomb. She borrowed the strength of the fifteen Sword Saint Patriarchs to give out the power of a Supreme Saint, and fought almost one hour with Blood Emperor Qingtian. Thousands of swords flew in the sky and bloody clouds covered up the sky. It was extremely shocking. However, Ling Feiyu was defeated at last. She was severely wounded and disappeared. Nobody knows whether she is still alive or where she is. The Zangtian Sword and Zhutian Sword fell to the hands of the Blood Emperor Qingtian.”

Although Zhang Ruochen didn’t witness the fighting, he could picture the horrible battles then.

Wan Zhaoyi and Ling Feiyu were the best that the Kunlun’s Field had seen in the recent hundreds of years. They each had extraordinary life chances and incomparable strengths to fight with the Blood Emperor Qingtian.

The rest were not even qualified to fight with the Blood Emperor Qingtian.

Zhang Ruochen felt a little worried for Ling Feiyu.

She had taught him much knowledge of the Way of Sword. She was like a teacher and a dear friend to him, to some extent.

Blackie went on. “Four wardens of the Underground Spirit Prison were all awakened from their deep sleep to fight with the Blood Emperor Qingtian and the mysterious Celestial Master of Battle Formation for a long time.”

The four wardens all had lived a long time and had irresistible power. They were, in fact, the last line of defense of the Underground Spirit Prison.

Zhang Ruochen felt nervous hearing this.

“One of the four wardens died in the fight, while the other three were all severely wounded. At the minute that the Blood Emperor Qingtian was about to open the gate of the Underground Spirit Prison, a white-haired She Devil arrived there from the horizon. With a strike, she had vanquished hundreds of thousands of the Immortal Vampires.”

“The corpses of the Immortal Vampires kept dropping to the ground like rain, making the Sword Tomb a field of slaughter.”

Blackie spit a long breath, and clapped on its hairy chest. It went on, “You didn’t see it. The She Devil didn’t even blink while she slaughtered. And she looked horrible with three heads and six arms. She was ten meters tall and ten meters wide…”

Kong Lanyou stopped it. “In another words, doesn’t the She Devil look like a squared cube?”

“Hahahaha! You are clever. Yes, she surely looks like a squared…”

Blackie looked at Kong Lanyou, and gasped. It couldn’t say more words, as if someone had pinched its neck.

Isn’t she the She Devil?? Blackie was dumbfounded for a while, thinking it might have been experiencing an illusion. It turned back to look at Zhang Ruochen, then Kong Lanyou.

This time it was clear.

Blackie took a swallow, and licked its lips lightly. It lied on the stool, and mewed.

It was pretending that it was just an ordinary cat and had said nothing before.

Kong Lanyou didn’t want to let it go away. She stretched out a hand to rub Blackie’s head. Saint lights were shivering in her eyes. And she said, “You are not a mortal animal, but some kind of spirit that has been exercising for at least hundreds of thousands of years. Speak! Why do you stay beside Zhang Ruochen? What’s your aim?”

Kong Lanyou surely could see the true self of Blackie with her high cultivation. Few living creatures could cheat her.

Blackie was truly immortal, but its spirit could still be dispersed by figures like Kong Lanyou.

Blackie trembled fiercely, and said hurriedly, “Zhang Ruochen, explain for me quickly! Or, or…I’ll have to tell her your secret!”

Blackie did know many of Zhang Ruochen’s secrets. Zhang Ruochen felt himself shudder a little. He said, “Senior Kong, Blackie is just a weapon spirit of mine. Don’t worry, it will never hurt me.”

“But now I wonder, what secret of yours does it know?”

Kong Lanyou pressed her red lips slightly, and smiled. She looked at Blackie, and said, “Didn’t you just call me the She Devil? Yes, I am the She Devil. Speak! What is the secret of Zhang Ruochen? Once you tell me, I will help free you and even construct a body for you.”

Kong Lanyou surely wanted to ask the thing that she wanted to know from Blackie.

“Do you mean it to help free me?” Blackie was swayed, brilliance appearing in its eyes.

Blackie had seen Kong Lanyou’s strength. She was absolutely powerful even compared with those in the Middle Ages.

With her incomparable cultivation, she surely had the ability to help it escape the seal of the Universe Spiritual Map.

“Of course.”

Kong Lanyou spoke while observing the changes of Zhang Ruochen’s face, “But, it depends on how valuable the secret is.”

Blackie was delighted. “The secret that I am about to say is surely something that you want to know.”

Zhang Ruochen’s face blackened. He said in a low voice, “Blackie, do you want to be sealed in the Universe Spiritual Map again?”

“Zhang Ruochen, I hate it the most the way you cheat people. Why not speak out? I wanted to tell the Mu girl when you cheated her.” Blackie turned to Kong Lanyou, “Let me tell you. Zhang Ruochen is no longer a virgin. He has countless women and girls with him. But I swear, you are the first person to know it from me.”

Blackie raised one claw while it spoke, as if it was making an oath.

Apparently, Blackie thought that Zhang Ruochen had the special relationship with Kong Lanyou, so it spoiled the secret that it regarded as the most important.

Kong Lanyou was a little shocked by its words. Obviously the secret told by Blackie was beyond her expectations.

Then she gave a weird look at Zhang Ruochen.

The three young monks near them all stopped eating and pricked their ears, trying to hear more “secrets.”

Zhang Ruochen felt totally embarrassed and took a deep breath.

He took out the Universe Spiritual Map slowly, and put Holy Qi constantly in it. Lines of inscriptions showed up on the surface of the scroll.

Sensing the danger, Blackie screamed, and rushed out of the dining hall like a black shadow.

“Zhang Ruochen, I’m just telling the truth. Why should you blame me? Maybe the She Devil doesn’t mind at all?”

Snoosh.

With a flash inside the Universe Spiritual Map, Blackie was taken back by a strong power and sealed in the Scroll World.

“Zhang Ruochen, you hypocrite! You should dare to seal me! I’m just revealing your true self, in case other females should be cheated by you. You have many other ulterior secrets! You have one foot in two camps. You’ve seen the body of the Saint Lady. You took the Ghost King Bloodmoon in for your own desire. And you deliberately teased the little girl, Li Min…You are a monster…monster…”

Blackie kept screaming inside the Scroll World, defiant.

But surely, no one, except Zhang Ruochen, could hear its words.

Zhang Ruochen appeared to be calm hearing its words. Actually he wasn’t very angry. He just worried that Blackie, the big mouth, would spoil other secrets.

Now that Kong Lanyou had doubted his identity. She just needed some confirmation. Once confirmed, nobody knew what she was gonna do next.

After all, Kong Lanyou was no longer the innocent girl. Now she could look down on all heroes in the world and slaughter without a blink. Even if she still held a special attachment to Zhang Ruochen, she surely had her own views and a firm will.

Whether she was gonna be good or bad to Zhang Ruochen, he couldn’t put a stop to it with his current cultivation.

Although being close at hand to each other, the gap between the cultivations of the two people widened the distance between them invisibly.
