# Chapter 2952: Second-Class Blood Ancestor Breaks Free
How could Zhang Ruochen possibly let Bai Qinger come out and negotiate with Luo Sha?
He was very clear that Luo Sha couldn't truly want ten million sacred meals.
In the final analysis, the Rakshasa Clan's gods had not made a move at all, nor had they suffered any casualties. They hadn't even been invited by Xinghuantian in the first place.
It was just that tens of millions of Heavenly Court's sacred realm army was right under their noses. First, the Rakshasa Clan's gods truly coveted it, wanting to eat their flesh and drink their blood.
Second, they wanted to take this opportunity, in this way, to force Xinghuantian into the Hell Realm camp.
But, as long as Zhang Ruochen was tough enough, he could completely give nothing at all.
What could the Undying Blood Clan and Rakshasa Clan's gods do?
They simply didn't dare attack Xinghuantian.
Unless they made up their minds to take Xinghuantian, and they absolutely had to have full confidence to suppress and kill Drunkard in one move.
Who could have such confidence?
Who could afford the price of failure?
However, the reason Xinghuantian was able to weather this crisis this time was indeed due to the deterrent effect of the Undying Blood Clan and Rakshasa Clan's gods. If Zhang Ruochen took things to the extreme, the next time he encountered such a situation, the gods of those two clans would probably just stand by and watch.
Moreover, Bai Qinger, Yuyao, Drunkard, and the God-Defying Clan members hiding somewhere unknown—a sword was always hanging over their heads.
Relying only on Heavenly Mother's protection was far from enough.
They had to win over the Undying Blood Clan and Rakshasa Clan, binding them tightly together, to be more secure.
As the realm lord of a realm, Zhang Ruochen naturally did things differently than before. He had to consider everything comprehensively and couldn't act impulsively.
Luo Sha's sparkling beautiful eyes stared intently at Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen turned his gaze toward the Rakshasa Clan god wearing a suit of black divine armor, whose aura was deep and heavy, and asked, "May I ask how to address this great god?"
"Yu Ying."
From within the black divine armor, a full-bodied voice rang out.
How could Zhang Ruochen have expected the other party's background to be so great? He showed solemn respect and said, "So it's the Yu Ying War God of the Heavenly Rakshasa Divine Kingdom."
Luo Sha's two snow-white, jade-like fingers lightly tapped the bronze table and said, "Realm Lord, don't change the subject. Where exactly is Bai Qinger?"
"Regarding matters of Xinghuantian, I can make the decisions."
Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment and said, "Ten million sacred meals definitely cannot be given to you."
Luo Sha's delicate eyebrows lifted slightly. "I know that you people of Xinghuantian don't dare offend the Heavenly Court too much. Eight million will do!"
"Not even one!" Zhang Ruochen said.
This time, not only did Luo Sha's beautiful eyes freeze, but even within Yu Ying War God's black divine armor, bursts of terrifying divine might erupted, as if a star were about to explode.
Zhang Ruochen's actions made him quite displeased.
Zhang Ruochen remained calm and composed, saying, "But, Princess Hall Master, Yu Ying War God, and the Rakshasa Clan's gods have come from afar. Naturally, we of Xinghuantian are extremely grateful. What are ten million sacred meals? I'll give you several hundred divine sources!"
A look of doubt appeared in Yu Ying War God's eyes.
He suspected that Zhang Ruochen didn't even know what he was talking about.
Several hundred divine sources?
This could create several hundred false gods, with a value far exceeding ten million sacred meals.
But Luo Sha was quick-witted and instantly understood, saying, "Realm Lord, you mean those several hundred evil divine corpses that rushed out from underground? You want to borrow the Rakshasa Clan's power to suppress them and eliminate the future trouble for Xinghuantian?"
"Princess Hall Master saying this is questioning this realm lord's sincerity! My Xinghuantian also has top-tier experts. Suppressing them wouldn't be difficult," Zhang Ruochen said.
Luo Sha lowered her head in thought, then giggled: "How about adding that old corpse sealed on the flame light pillar?"
Zhang Ruochen took out the Ming Token and played with it in his hand, saying, "That old corpse might become the guardian of our family."
He emphasized the word "our" heavily.
Then Zhang Ruochen continued, "Are you sure, Princess, that you want to give that old corpse to the Rakshasa Clan's gods?"
Luo Sha held her staff, stood up, and walked out of the Divine Maiden King Hall, saying, "Fine, this princess will go with Yu Ying War God to suppress those evil divine corpses. Realm Lord, you do have some sincerity."
"Wait a moment."
Zhang Ruochen called them back, saying, "On behalf of this realm lord, please thank the Rakshasa Clan's gods properly. Soon, the Sundial should be repairable, and I will definitely allocate some cultivation slots to the Rakshasa Clan. This is this realm lord's true sincerity!"
Hearing this, a captivating smile appeared on Luo Sha's snow-white, jade-like face: "This princess will definitely claim those slots!"
After leaving the First Divine Maiden City, Yu Ying War God praised, "The value of those evil divine corpses far exceeds ten million sacred meals. Zhang Ruochen is indeed worthy of being our clan's son-in-law."
Luo Sha snorted lightly: "That guy is shrewd! Uncle Ying, you should have heard what he secretly transmitted to me just now, right?"
Yu Ying War God said, "Why would I listen to the flirtatious and pretentious words between you two?"
"He said he would hand over the 'Nether Soldier Scroll' to the Heavenly Rakshasa Divine Kingdom as thanks," Luo Sha said.
Even with Yu Ying War God's experience and state of mind, he was moved, saying, "One of the eight scrolls of the Nether Book, the 'Nether Soldier Scroll'? This is good news! If we master the 'Nether Soldier Scroll,' we can control those evil divine corpses and refine them into a powerful divine army, even if the numbers are a bit small."
Luo Sha narrowed her eyes and smiled, "He used the secret techniques from the 'Nether Soldier Scroll' to control Yu Longxian's divine corpse. This matter can't be hidden. The Nether Hall and Darkness Temple will definitely seek him out. But as long as he passes the 'Nether Soldier Scroll' to the Heavenly Rakshasa Divine Kingdom... the pressure he needs to bear will be much less! And that's only the first reason!"
"Second, he knows that I possess the Yin Spirit Lotus and have cultivated the Soul-Stealing Demon Eye, allowing me to control Great Saint corpses. If I also cultivate the 'Nether Soldier Scroll,' controlling divine corpses won't be difficult."
Yu Ying War God said, "Good fortune doesn't flow to outsiders. In this way, although it seems like you're giving several hundred divine corpses to the Rakshasa Clan, they're actually all given to you, Princess."
"Let's go! He's passed the Rakshasa Clan's test. What a pity, what a pity."
Luo Sha's eyes carried a hint of regret. She said "what a pity" twice before transforming into a streak of light, flying straight toward the distant grayish death divine mist.
As for what she regretted, Yu Ying War God couldn't understand at all and didn't want to think about it.
...
The representative of the Undying Blood Clan was Xue Jue War God.
Before even entering the city, Xue Jue War God encountered Yu Jin Heavenly God.
Yu Jin Heavenly God stood within a chaotic space, his body radiating golden light, and said, "Great Clan Leader, regarding the matter of Xinghuantian, this lord has failed your trust."
Logically speaking, Yu Jin Heavenly God's cultivation had reached the Grand Void realm, so he didn't need to personally come and explain anything to Xue Jue War God.
But at this moment, such a powerful and ancient existence, in front of Xue Jue War God, had a tone laced with a hint of fear, as if afraid of something.
Xue Jue War God's tiger-like body stood straight, his armor bright and shiny, and said, "No need to say more. This matter is not your fault. You may go back first."
"Yes!"
Space trembled violently, and the vortex-like heaven and earth became calm.
Golden light and divine aura receded like a tide, disappearing into the sky.
A sharp glint flashed in Xue Jue War God's eyes. Just as he was about to enter the city, he saw Zhang Ruochen, along with two hall masters of the Goddess Twelve Pavilions, personally coming out to welcome him.
"Greetings, Great Clan Leader!"
The two hall masters were Snow Domain Hall Master Liu Qingcheng, and the other hall master was ethereal and transcendent, with a faint and quiet temperament, not at all like a woman of the world, making people think she was a divine fairy of the Heavenly Court's Daoist lineage.
The frost on Xue Jue War God's face melted away, revealing a smile, and he said, "Not bad! My grandson Ruochen has not disappointed his maternal grandfather. With a shake, he has become the master of Xinghuantian. Are these two also going to marry into the Blood Absolute Family? Not bad, both are true gods. The descendants they bear will definitely not be inferior."
Both hall masters were gods, their expressions unchanged.
But there were ripples in their hearts.
After all, the one who said this was Xue Jue War God. If any other figure of this level spoke, their words would be divine oracles, decisive and unbreakable.
Zhang Ruochen didn't dare to casually provoke the women of the Goddess Twelve Pavilions, so he quickly changed the subject, saying, "Grandfather, Ruochen must first apologize to you..."
Zhang Ruochen was about to bow, but the entire space-time was frozen, and he couldn't bow down at all.
Xue Jue War God said sternly, "You are now the realm lord of Xinghuantian, the divine envoy of Heavenly Mother, and yourself a god. Your status is not beneath mine. In front of others, you must have the bearing of a regional overlord. Even if you meet a God Venerable, just show a slight respect. Below the Infinite realm, you don't need to look up to anyone! Come, if you have something to say, say it after entering the city."
In the Divine Maiden King Hall, Bai Qinger came out to welcome them.
A Great Saint-level building master brought the best divine brew from the Goddess Twelve Pavilions.
Xue Jue War God waved his hand and said, "In a time of great mourning, what's the point of drinking? Take it away!"
The eyes of both hall masters showed surprise.
They never expected that Xue Jue War God, with such status and such arrogance, could consider others' feelings so much. Was it really because he respected Empress Bai?
The divine brew was taken away.
Both hall masters withdrew.
Xue Jue War God didn't sit in the highest seat of the hall. Instead, he sat in the first seat on the right and said, "The one who killed Duotian Heavenly God was Huang Tian. Who was the one who appeared with you outside the Divine Maiden City?"
"This is exactly what Ruochen wanted to explain!" Zhang Ruochen said.
Xue Jue War God said, "Explain what? Are you afraid that because of the God-Defying Clan matter, it will have an adverse effect on the Blood Absolute Family?"
Zhang Ruochen said, "At that time, I only had this strategy..."
"Excellent strategy!"
Xue Jue War God laughed and said, "It's very good to do this! Why apologize? Why explain? I, Xue Jue, together with my grandson, made a move to protect my future granddaughter-in-law. It's a matter of heavenly principle! Even if she is from the God-Defying Clan, so what? Just because she's from the God-Defying Clan, I, Xue Jue, should stand by and watch? Wouldn't the world look down on me?"
"Ruochen, you should have a bit more confidence in your maternal grandfather. When doing things, you must charge forward bravely. Don't worry about this and that. Even if we take ten thousand steps back, do you think your maternal grandfather has cultivated for so many years without even the means to protect himself?"
Zhang Ruochen was moved in his heart, not knowing what to say.
Bai Qinger didn't have her usual coldness. She was as obedient as an unmarried young girl, gracefully bowing and saying, "Thank you, Great Clan Leader!"
"What are you thanking your maternal grandfather for? It wasn't me who made the move."
Xue Jue War God's gaze shifted away from Bai Qinger, fixing on Zhang Ruochen, and he continued, "Who exactly made the move? In this world, there are only so many with such combat power. No matter how I think about it, I can't figure out who you managed to invite."
"Grandfather will naturally know in the future."
Zhang Ruochen kept it a secret, then took out the Mountain-Hiding Demon Mirror and smiled, "I have a great gift here to honor you, Elder."
"Boom!"
Before the words faded, a cracking sound came from the mirror surface of the Mountain-Hiding Demon Mirror.
A massive amount of blood qi surged out from the mirror, rolling across the sky and earth, filling the entire Divine Maiden King Hall.
In an instant, the blood qi, like flood dragons, spread out of the Heavenly Divine Maiden Building, covering the First Divine Maiden City, dyeing the sky for millions of miles red, causing the cultivators of Xinghuantian to become panicked once again.
A cold, hate-filled voice came from the Mountain-Hiding Demon Mirror, shaking the Divine Maiden King Hall: "Zhang Ruochen, you little brat, do you think a mere supreme sacred artifact can trap this lord?"
It was the voice of Second-Class Blood Ancestor.
With a loud bang, the mirror surface of the Mountain-Hiding Demon Mirror completely shattered. Mirror shards, like blades, flew past Zhang Ruochen's face, and powerful divine qi and rule divine patterns burst forth from within.
