Chapter 2145: The Good and Evil Yan Wushens
Outside a city in Qianshui Commandery, there was a huge ancient mountain called Mount Cyromist. Like Yunwu Commandery’s Royal Mountain, it had been a burial site for the royal family of Qianshui Commandery.
However, unlike Royal Mountain, Mount Cyromist was very plain and had nothing unusual. Ever since the royal family of Qianshui Commandery was massacred, the place had become desolate. It was rare to have visitors.
Suddenly, slight ripples emerged in the quiet space of Mount Cyromist. The next moment, Zhang Ruochen appeared out of thin air.
Zhang Ruochen had learned from Lei Jing about things that Huang Yanchen had said before she disappeared. Initially, he had wanted to go to Death’s Door on Ever-white Planet to investigate the matter immediately, thinking that he would not be refused entry again with his current cultivation base.
However, in the end, he chose to visit Mount Cyromist first to pay tribute to those who had died because of him.
In the past, Lei Jing had been helping him with this matter. Now that he was in Eastern Region, he should not let others do so in his stead.
In front of Zhang Ruochen, there were a large number of new graves. There were hundreds of them. They had only been there for a few years.
Standing in front of these graves, Zhang Ruochen could not help but felt strong emotion. To be precise, it was guilt. In the past, the Immortal Vampires had really gone all out to harm him.
He hated that he was too weak to protect these innocent people.
Splash!
Zhang Ruochen flipped his hand and took out a jar of wine. He tore off the wine seal and poured it in front of the graves.
After stopping for a long time, Zhang Ruochen suddenly said, “Come out. I know you’re nearby. It’s meaningless to hide in front of me.”
Tap, tap-
Light footsteps sounded, stepping on the fallen leaves.
A graceful figure slowly emerged from afar. Her tight black dress accentuated her exquisite and perfect figure. Her legs were slender, and she exuded an indescribable demeanor. She looked elegant, and her beauty was otherworldly. People would want to worship her like a goddess.
The beauty who appeared was none other than Pan Ruo, one of the three Scioness candidates for Fane of Destiny in Infernal Court.
If a cultivator of Infernal Court saw her here, they would be greatly surprised and think why the high and noble Pan Ruo was here and feel that she was audacious to dare to face the famous Zhang Ruochen alone.
Zhang Ruochen turned around and looked at Pan Ruo.
Even though he was mentally prepared, his emotions were plunged into turmoil when he saw Pan Ruo.
The main reason why Zhang Ruochen came to Mount Cyromist to pay his respects was that he thought there could be a chance to run into her. He wanted to meet her because he had too many questions that needed answers.
Zhang Ruochen had already put down many things, so he did not mind meeting her.
“Should I call you Pan Ruo or Huang Yanchen?” Zhang Ruochen regained his composure quickly and asked calmly.
Pan Ruo approached him and said, “Huang Yanchen no longer exists. There is only Pan Ruo now.” Her tone was indifferent.
Her words struck Zhang Ruochen. When he thought of what Lei Jing had told him, he was curious. ‘What did she go through?’
“Are you okay?” Zhang Ruochen suddenly asked.
Pan Ruo stared at the graves. “Not good,” replied the beauty.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes flashed with light. “Then come back, since you are not happy. Let the past go with the wind.”
“Come back? To where? I’m the Scioness candidate of Fane of Destiny in Infernal Court. I enjoy a much higher status now, and you expect me to return?” her voice was cold.
Yet, there was a hint of self-mockery in her tone.
Zhang Ruochen exhaled and stared at her. “Did you end up this way because of Death’s Door in the skies of Ever-white Planet? What do you want to do in Infernal Court? Did Chi Yao order you to do so?”
Zhang Ruochen had some speculations. He believed that Huang Yanchen, who joined Infernal Court with a completely different appearance, must have a big secret.
Huang Yanchen was not the first Kunlun cultivator who entered the realm of Infernal Court. To his knowledge, there were Empress of Thousand Bones and elder Xuanji.
Neither Empress of Thousand Bones nor elder Xuanji came back once they entered the netherworld of Infernal Court. No one knew what they were doing?
“I can’t answer these questions, and I have no reason to answer you.” Pan Ruo continued after a short pause, “Instead of caring about me, why don’t you worry about yourself first? How about I ask you a question?”
“Go ahead!”
Zhang Ruochen’s locked his gaze at Pan Ruo’s, wanting to see through her and find out what she was thinking deep down inside
