In the hands of the white-haired old Daoist, there was the token of Hulong Pavilion. Read the full text of the latest chapterThe materials used to forge the token are extremely special and impossible to counterfeit.

Even though Zhang Ruochin had never met any members of the Hulong Pavilion before, he still had to admit their identity.


Who would have thought that the legendary Hu Long Pavilion actually exists?


Zhang Ruochin returned the token to Zhao He and asked, "Where are the rest of the members of Hulong Pavilion?"


Although Zhang Ruochin's cultivation was still low, Zhao Zhe treated him with great respect and did not dare to offend him. He said: "The members of Hulong Pavilion are scattered throughout the Kunlun Realm, each with different identities and missions. Only the pavilion master knows everyone's identity."


Zhang Ruochen slightly frowned and asked again, "What exactly is the mysterious mission that Hulong Pavilion has?"


<<>>


Zhang Ruochin then asked some other questions, such as, where is the head of the Hulong Pavilion? Did the Hulong Pavilion take away the national treasury of the Shengming Central Empire eight hundred years ago?


However, Zhao He knew very little. Zhang Ruichen didn't extract any truly useful information from him.


Zhao Zheng told Zhang Ruochin that his master had died, and before dying, he only explained a way to contact the head of the Hulong Pavilion. Only in the most urgent situations could it be used. At other times, the head of the Hulong Pavilion would take the initiative to contact him.


Zhang Ruochin didn't let Zhao He contact the Master of Hulong Pavilion, not because he didn't want to recall the members of Hulong Pavilion, but because he felt that the timing wasn't ripe yet.




The situation in the Kunlun Realm is changing rapidly, with undercurrents surging and a potential for unpredictable disasters at any moment.


The greater the commotion, the more attention it attracts, and the faster its demise.


Kong Lan You said, "Actually, your brother can also recall the members of Hulong Pavilion. As long as you raise your arms and call out, with the support of Hulong Pavilion and Mingtang, plus the descendants of the Zhang imperial clan and various old subordinates, we can completely take over Shengming City, rebuild the Shengming Central Empire, and become emperor in one fell swoop to oppose Chi Yao's First Central Empire."


And then she added, "Now the imperial army is being held back by the undead of the East Territory, the Dead Zen sect of the South Territory, and the Blood Clan of the North. They have no time to deal with us. We should take advantage of this opportunity to develop and expand our power, seize territory, and completely dismantle the First Central Empire."


Zhang Ruchen shook his head and said, "Your idea is good, but unfortunately, you only consider things on the surface."


Kōng Lán yóu bit her lips, a look of anger flashing across her face. She felt that Zhāng Ruo chén wasn't giving her any face at all.


>>>No matter what, she is the revered ancestor of the Mingtang lineage, with eight hundred years of experience and profound cultivation. People fear her, yet Zhang Ruochin still treats her like a girl over ten years old, directly refuting her suggestion..

<<<


"You're not convinced? Let me analyze the current situation for you."




Zhang Ruochen said: “First of all, whether it's the undead in the Eastern Region, the Dead Zen Sect in the Southern Region, or the Blood Clan of the Undead in the Northern Region, they are not actually opponents of the First Central Imperial Dynasty. As long as Chi Yao makes up her mind to destroy them, she doesn't need to expend too much effort.”


Kong Lan knew the depths of the First Central Empire and how terrifying Chi Yao's cultivation was. Yet, he didn't quite understand Zhang Ruochin's meaning, a puzzled expression on his face.


Zhang Ruochin looked at Kong Lan'you and shook his head, sighing inwardly. After so many years, she really hadn't become any smarter.


"I suspect that Chi Yao is training her troops," Zhang Ruochin said.


"Training soldiers?"


Zhang Ruochin nodded clearly and said, "The first Central Empire created a martial arts boom, with many saints emerging, its glory reaching its peak. But the human race has been at peace for hundreds of years, becoming extravagant and dissolute, arrogant and self-important, forgetting the days of surviving between the cracks of the demon beasts."


"If I were Chi Yao, standing at the peak of Kunlun Realm and seeing this situation, I would also feel a surge of power to temper them."

Next, Zhang Ruchen said: “Second, the stone talisman left by Empress Qian Gu could only seal the passage between the yin and yang worlds for a few years. Before long, even stronger and more numerous ghosts and ghouls would pour into Kunlun Realm.”


That's the real catastrophe, even if the entire Kunlun Realm unites, it might not be able to withstand it. Faced with such a disaster, even if we now rebuild the Holy Light Central Empire and fight a life-and-death battle with the First Central Empire, what's the point besides letting more people die?


"The Kunlun Realm harbors too many hidden dangers. Many ancient powers and formidable heroes are still lurking, waiting for the opportune moment. By taking the lead to rebuild the Shengming Central Empire, we will inevitably become the target of everyone's ire and face a disastrous end."

<<< Besides Hades and Blood Empress, the two major threats are already making Zhang Ruochen feel very uneasy. >>


Moreover, the Kunlun Realm has more than just the Hades King and Blood Queen.


After all, the Undying Blood Clan is just one of the ancient clans.


Let's not mention the faraway ones. Just speaking of the Corpse-Raising Clan and Ghost-Nurturing Clan, they dare to stir up trouble, so they must have some hidden tricks up their sleeves.


The Kunlun Realm is vast. Someone like Zhang Ruochin, who died long ago, can be reborn after eight hundred years. Who knows how many things beyond human comprehension are still hidden?


With her current status and cultivation, Kong Lan naturally knew many secrets about the Kunlun Realm. Her small mouth moved slightly, but in the end, she didn't say anything. She continued to listen to Zhang Ruochen's explanation.


Zhang Ruochin's tone softened a bit, and he said, "There's a third point. Can the Mingtang really truly be with the Zhang clan of the royal family?"


Upon hearing this, Kong Lan'you bit her lip and sighed inwardly, "What had to come, has finally come!" Zhang Ruochin no longer dodged the question, asking directly, “Lan’you, Kongque Mountain Villa should owe me an explanation, right? Eight hundred years ago, what was the reason?"

It's only a matter of time before you ask that.

If he doesn't ask, there will always be a gulf between him and Kong Lan You.


Kōng Lán Yōu dared not meet Zhang Ruochin's gaze, instead fixing her eyes on the distant tomb. "Cousin," she said, "I was very young back then and didn't know why those things happened at all. It wasn't until later... hundreds of years later, that I learned the truth.""What is the truth?" Zhang Ruochin asked.


Kong Lan's eyes blinked, appealingly, as she said, “For now, I can’t tell you.”


"It's just the truth. Isn't it difficult to say it?" Zhang Ruochin was very puzzled in his heart.




What exactly is Kong Lan You trying to hide, and why won't he say it?

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It has been eight hundred years. Many things have happened, and they are all in the past. Is there still a need to keep them hidden?


<<“Alright, I won’t force you.” Zhāng Ruò Chén sighed. >>>


Finally, Kong Lan sighed with relief. He didn't want to hide anything from Zhang Ruochen about what happened that year, but he had to.


Some things are not as simple as they seem.


<<>>


Given Kong Lan You's current cultivation and status, being able to say such things still moved Zhang Ruochen's heart deeply.


However, the Mingtang and those loyal to the Holy Bright Central Empire, have long since fallen out. They harbor a deep hatred for one another, and even if forced together, it would only sow the seeds of future discord.


In Zhang Ruochin's view, instead of doing that, it would be better to focus on developing the Mingzong and cultivating a true force that belongs to himself.


Zhang Ruochin didn't ask Kong Lan You if her identity leak was related to her. Because he already believed that Kong Lan You would never do such a thing.

Then, there was only one person left, Kong Hongbi.

"Kong Hongbi probably only wants to use other forces to find me, and she doesn't necessarily know my true identity," Zhang Ruochin thought to himself.


Kong Lan glanced at Zhang Ruochin's eyes, a cold light flashed in them. Then, she asked, "Cousin, what are you thinking about?"


<>

>>>


Zhang Ruochin smiled faintly, and didn't mention the grievances between him and Kong Hongbi.




Zhang Ruochin, when doing things, has always disliked relying on the power of others. Matters that he can solve himself will certainly be done by his own hands.


Only when you are strong within, can you truly be strong.




For a period of time after that, Zhang Ruochin remained in the Imperial Clan Cemetery. He was not only there to guard his mother's tomb but also to cultivate and improve his cultivation level.


Through refining divine blood, Zhang Ruochen's cultivation base successfully broke through to the peak of a fifth-rank half-saint.


On this very day, Zhao Zhe brought news: “There has been an internal rebellion in Mingtang. The imperial army is gathering and preparing to take advantage of the situation to completely eliminate Mingtang.”


The interior of the Mingtang is not a monolithic entity, it gathers together the influence of over ten former dynasties. Qionghua Mountain Villa is merely the largest among them.


All factions have different interests, and it is not impossible for an internal rebellion to erupt.


Upon hearing the news, Kong Lan You prepared to return home. He said to his cousin, "Cousin, will you go back to Ming Tang with me? After I quell the rebellion, I can help you become the head of Ming Tang."


"No."


Huang Yanchen walked out and immediately objected, saying: "The Mingtang has just erupted in civil unrest, and the imperial army has already assembled. Isn't it too suspicious? I suspect this is related to the Empress Dowager. Her departure from the Central Imperial City could very well be a plan to eliminate the Mingtang first. At this time, Chen Ge and you returning to Mingtang wouldn't it be quite dangerous?"


Kong Lan thoughtfully pondered Huang Yanchen's words, realizing that they weren't entirely without merit. He replied to his cousin, "Cousin, allow me to first quell the turmoil within the Mingtang court before I seek you out again."


Zhang Ruochin also found this matter very strange, but he also knew that Kong Lanyou had to hurry back because the Kong Que Mountain Villa clan was still in Ming Tang.


Eight hundred years had passed, and Kong Lan You remained unchanged. However, the burden she carried grew heavier than ever.




<<< < ? ? ? ? >>>>is no longer just a naive little girl, nor is she just Zhang Ruochin's cousin, but the Saint Ancestor of Mingtang.


"Lan You!"


Zhang Ruochen stopped her, reminding her, "Be careful. If you meet Chi Yao, don't fight her head-on. Someday, I will go to her palace myself and make her pay for what she has done."


Kong Lan readily responded with a nod, then transformed into a white streak of light and vanished within the Imperial Ancestral Mausoleum.
