# Chapter 2930: Bad News
How could Zhang Ruochen not recognize Chi Xingtian?
Knowing Chi Xingtian's personality, Zhang Ruochen didn't bother with any explanation after hearing his nonsense.
Chi Yao and Bai Qinger, both cold by nature, wouldn't act shy like young girls.
"Zhang Ruochen!"
Mu Lingxi ran up from behind Chi Xingtian, happily waving at him.
Seeing Mu Lingxi, the worry that had been hanging in Zhang Ruochen's heart finally settled. He pulled free from Chi Yao and Bai Qinger's grasp, circulating the blood energy in his body to recover some strength.
"Lingxi!"
Meeting Mu Lingxi in such an impossible place brought Zhang Ruochen a unique joy.
Chi Yao had long known of Mu Lingxi's existence and remained very calm.
Bai Qinger carefully studied this woman who had suddenly appeared. Though her cultivation wasn't high, her presence made Zhang Ruochen smile so easily and sincerely.
For someone like Zhang Ruochen, who carried heavy thoughts and hid deeply especially in the Hell Realm, he wouldn't show such a smile to just anyone.
"Luan Ying pays respects to Her Majesty."
Luan Ying True Lord, still bleeding from his seven orifices, immediately knelt before Chi Yao.
Chi Xingtian scratched his head and said, "This thing is really your mount? Are young people this formidable now? At the Upper-level God realm, you can take an Upper-level God as a mount?"
"Don't look down on me. Her Majesty will become a Heavenly One in the future. Being the mount of a future Heavenly One, this lord doesn't feel wronged at all." Luan Ying True Lord said with a face full of reverence.
Completely forgetting how fast he had fled earlier with the Black Heart Demon Lord.
Zhang Ruochen's attention fell on the Black Heart Demon Lord.
The Black Heart Demon Lord looked up and met his gaze, his eyes restrained. He knew that although Zhang Ruochen's cultivation was far inferior to Chi Xingtian's, he was much more troublesome to deal with.
"Black Heart Demon Lord!"
Chi Yao shouted coldly.
The Blood Drop Sword turned into a beam of blood light, striking the Black Heart Demon Lord's heart in one blow, piercing through it and flying dozens of zhang away.
"Shua!"
The Blood Drop Sword split into hundreds of sword lights, like ten thousand swords returning to their nest, stabbing at the Black Heart Demon Lord again.
"Pu!"
"Pu chi!"
...
One bloody hole after another appeared on the Black Heart Demon Lord's body.
Moreover, the divine blood within him was continuously being devoured by the Blood Drop Sword.
He couldn't fight back because his Divine Sea was sealed by Chi Xingtian. Facing Chi Yao's attacks, he could only passively endure.
"Enough, enough, that's fine. Don't kill him. Keep him alive; he's still useful." Chi Xingtian signaled Chi Yao to withdraw her sword.
Chi Yao said, "Countless living beings from the Kunlun Realm have died at the hands of cultivators from the Black Demon Realm. This is a blood debt. The Black Heart Demon Lord must die."
The Black Heart Demon Lord bit down on a mouthful of blood and laughed, "If you want revenge, have the guts to fight me fair and square. This lord is sealed, and only then can you show off your power. How ridiculous that you are still the new emperor of the Kunlun Realm, still the inheritor of the Great Venerable's technique... haha, I won't accept it. Dying by your hand, I won't accept it..."
Chi Yao's brows furrowed. She withdrew the Blood Drop Sword, her gaze cold as frost.
"Enough, enough. I still need to get a big secret out of his mouth. But this guy is a tough nut; he insists on seeing Hua Ying Qingchan before he'll talk." Chi Xingtian said.
"I see."
Zhang Ruochen walked toward the Black Heart Demon Lord, who was paralyzed sitting on the ground like a pool of blood mud. "But sealing only his Divine Sea isn't enough. He still has his physical body and his spiritual power. If we're not careful, he might escape."
Although the Black Heart Demon Lord's heart had been pierced, his Spiritual Power Divine Heart existed in the form of a field and wouldn't shatter so easily.
The Black Heart Demon Lord had a bad premonition. He glared at Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen crouched down, meeting the Black Heart Demon Lord's gaze. Suddenly, he thrust his claw into the broken heart position. Amidst the Black Heart Demon Lord's screams, he dug out the Spiritual Power Divine Heart.
The Spiritual Power Divine Heart was like a mass of blood light, faint and formless.
"No, Zhang Ruochen, what are you doing?" The Black Heart Demon Lord could no longer remain as calm as before. His voice was terrified.
"Your spiritual power is also at the seventy-fifth level. Such a Spiritual Power Divine Heart can be used as the main material to refine a divine pill that enhances spiritual power. Can't let it go to waste." Zhang Ruochen said.
To deal with extraordinary people, one must use extraordinary methods.
Not to mention the deep hatred between Zhang Ruochen and the Black Demon Realm, the Black Heart Demon Lord had tried every means to kill him before, nearly putting him to death. This was a debt Zhang Ruochen would settle thoroughly.
Zhang Ruochen looked at Chi Xingtian and said, "Great God, I'm taking his Spiritual Power Divine Heart. You don't have any objections, do you?"
"What objections could I have? Just a divine heart." Chi Xingtian said generously.
Zhang Ruochen was somewhat surprised. A Spiritual Power Divine Heart, given away so easily?
Chi Xingtian was definitely a friend worth keeping.
But Chi Xingtian's next sentence almost made Zhang Ruochen throw the Spiritual Power Divine Heart away.
"Just lend me the Heavenly Demon Stone Inscriptions you have on you." Chi Xingtian said with a grin.
The muscles on Zhang Ruochen's face stiffened.
Chi Xingtian's face turned serious. "What? This lord even gave you a Spiritual Power Divine Heart freely, and you're being so stingy, unwilling to lend even a few Heavenly Demon Stone Inscriptions? Just a loan."
Only a fool would believe you.
If you, Chi Xingtian, defaulted on returning them, who could do anything about you?
If you, Chi Xingtian, were even more shameless and said, "This is my ancestor's thing, why should I return it to you?" Zhang Ruochen would be left crying in the future.
Zhang Ruochen agreed readily, "Fine! Once we leave here, I'll find a suitable opportunity to give them to you."
"No, I want them now." Chi Xingtian said.
Zhang Ruochen showed displeasure. "I don't have them on me. They're all at the Blood Absolute Family. I'll go back and get them for you in a while. You're Lingxi's foster father. If you want to study them, how could I possibly refuse to lend them to you?"
Although Chi Xingtian was a rough man, he wasn't stupid. He shook his head and said, "Stop talking nonsense. This lord needs to borrow the Heavenly Demon Stone Inscriptions for an important purpose. To tell you the truth, I have a great enemy at Xinghuantian. Only by gathering all thirty-six Heavenly Demon Stone Inscriptions can I elevate my combat power to the next level."
Zhang Ruochen's heart stirred. He was somewhat worried that the great enemy Chi Xingtian mentioned was Huang Tian.
If so, he absolutely couldn't lend the Heavenly Demon Stone Inscriptions.
"I have seven Heavenly Demon Stone Inscriptions, but they really aren't on me. I can swear to the heavens!" Zhang Ruochen said firmly, with a hint of regret in his tone.
Mu Lingxi said, "Foster father! Chen Ge said the Heavenly Demon Stone Inscriptions aren't on him, so they definitely aren't. We can think of other ways to deal with Xuan Yi!"
Chi Xingtian said, "Lend me the Sundial."
There was no end to this!
Asking to borrow a divine artifact at the first meeting. Were they that close?
If it were Qiangu Nüdi, Zhang Ruochen would definitely lend it.
But there was no helping it. Nüdi had good character and wasn't so arrogant.
Zhang Ruochen said patiently, "The Sundial isn't on me either."
Chi Xingtian was full of disbelief, staring at Zhang Ruochen with an expression that said, "Do you think I'm stupid?" If he hadn't promised Tai Shang not to use force, he wouldn't be in the mood to listen to Zhang Ruochen's nonsense.
But Zhang Ruochen was afraid he would use force!
Zhang Ruochen took out a bracelet and said, "This bracelet is called the Zhou Fan Bracelet. It was forged using the power of time and fate and is a treasure of the Destiny Temple. How about you make do with it for now?"
Chi Xingtian wasn't picky. He grabbed the Zhou Fan Bracelet and snatched it away.
With divine energy activated, a vast ocean of time imprint light points surged from the bracelet, like billions of fireflies flying in the dark starry sky.
Zhang Ruochen sighed inwardly. Cultivation was the real hard truth.
The same treasure, in Wuma Jiuxing's hands versus Chi Xingtian's hands, produced completely different levels of power.
"It's acceptable. I can make do." Chi Xingtian's expression softened slightly.
Bai Qinger asked Mu Lingxi, "I heard the young lady say earlier that the great enemy you're dealing with is Xuan Yi. May I ask which Xuan Yi?"
"Of course, it's Xuan Yi True God of the Paradise Realm." Mu Lingxi said.
Bai Qinger's expression changed. She quickly asked, "Xuan Yi True God has come to Xinghuantian?"
"Yes! This Xuan Yi True God is incredibly powerful. He killed the Destiny Temple's War God Qianmosang. Also, the Star Soul Divine Throne of Bai Empress, the owner of the Goddess Twelve Pavilions, has gone dark. It's most likely his doing as well." Mu Lingxi said.
"Boom!"
Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky.
Bai Qinger's face suddenly turned deathly pale. She stumbled backward three steps.
If Zhang Ruochen hadn't been quick to catch her, she would have fallen in her daze.
Zhang Ruochen knew how strong Bai Qinger's heart was, but this bad news came too suddenly and too violently. Who could bear it?
Zhang Ruochen asked, "What exactly happened?"
"We're not too clear about the specifics either." Mu Lingxi said.
"Hua!"
Bai Qinger's expression showed neither sorrow nor joy. She tried her best to appear strong, broke free from Zhang Ruochen's grasp, turned into a beam of white light, and disappeared from the suspended square.
Worried about Bai Qinger's safety, Zhang Ruochen immediately chased after her.
Chi Yao watched their departing figures, worry in her eyes. "Xuan Yi True God's cultivation has reached the ultimate realm. His arrival will surely stir up a heaven-shaking storm. Moreover, I suspect his target might very well include Zhang Ruochen."
"Yes, foster father, we need to follow quickly." Mu Lingxi said.
"Haha!"
The Black Heart Demon Lord laughed loudly. "Since Xuan Yi True God has arrived, all of you will die. No one below the Infinite Realm is his match. If this lord isn't mistaken, the Heavenly Court army has also arrived at Xinghuantian. No one can save Zhang Ruochen, because he is the greatest traitor of the Heavenly Court in this Eon, the Eon-level traitor... ah..."
"Bang!"
Chi Yao pressed down with a palm from above, crushing the Black Heart Demon Lord's divine body into fragments, turning it into a mass of fresh blood.
Then, she took out a bronze jar and put the Black Heart Demon Lord, now turned into divine blood, into the jar.
"What Zhang Ruochen said is right. Sealing only the Divine Sea isn't enough. This is more secure." Chi Yao carved divine patterns on the sealed part of the bronze jar.
Although turned into a jar of divine blood, the Black Heart Demon Lord was still not dead. His vitality was strong. His voice came from inside the jar: "Keep struggling. Xuan Yi True God will show you that the era of the Kunlun Realm has passed. Today, the most prosperous in the Heavenly Court is the Paradise Realm."
