# Chapter 936: Sea Abyss Dharma King's Plan
Sea Abyss Dharma King rolled up the sacred edict on the table, placing it to his left, and asked: "Why did the evil monks of the Dead Zen Sect kill your father?"
Immediately, Zhang Ruochen recited the explanation he had prepared in advance.
In truth, Sea Abyss Dharma King was not particularly concerned about why the Dead Zen Sect had killed Gu Yan. After all, the cultivation world was inherently a dog-eat-dog environment, and he understood this principle better than anyone.
Sometimes, killing required no reason at all.
Moreover, Gu Yan was already dead and had thus lost his value.
What Sea Abyss Dharma King truly cared about was the current state of the Blood Dragon Hall.
The Blood Dragon Hall was one of the top evil forces within the Yuan Mansion, with a vast system and over a million cultivators, making it a formidable third-rate sect that controlled many vein resources and spiritual medicine resources.
This was a piece of fat that Sea Abyss Dharma King had been indirectly controlling all along.
Hearing Zhang Ruochen's account, Sea Abyss Dharma King's expression gradually turned gloomy, and he let out a cold laugh: "The Blood Dragon Hall has been wiped out?"
Sea Abyss Dharma King had never liked the Blood Dragon Young Master, and now that the Blood Dragon Young Master's father was dead and the Blood Dragon Hall had been annihilated...
Then what value did he have?
Just as Sea Abyss Dharma King was about to order the Blood Dragon Young Master expelled from the Immortal Abyss Sea...
Suddenly, his aged eyes narrowed slightly as he carefully observed the Blood Dragon Young Master for a moment, discovering that his cultivation had actually reached the Second-Stage Half-Saint.
Second-Stage Half-Saint...
Upon noticing this, Sea Abyss Dharma King was both surprised and delighted.
He had long known that the Blood Dragon Young Master's talent was not bad, but he never expected that this brat had actually broken through to the Second-Stage Half-Saint realm.
This being the case, the Blood Dragon Young Master would be of great use to him.
Sea Abyss Dharma King immediately changed his mind, putting on a look of great fury. With a bang, he struck the bronze table with his palm and said sternly: "The evil monks of the Dead Zen Sect are truly detestable, actually killing my beloved disciple and causing the entire Gu family to be destroyed. No matter what, I will settle this account with them."
"Whoosh!"
Sea Abyss Dharma King transformed into a shadowy figure, crossing through the void, and appeared before Zhang Ruochen, helping him up. He sighed: "If this grandmaster remembers correctly, you should be called Gu Linfeng. Is that right?"
Zhang Ruochen put on a deeply moved expression, tears streaming down his face, and said: "Thank you, grandmaster, for still remembering your disciple's grandson's name. My father's revenge..."
"First, rest and recover from your injuries. Don't overthink things. Leave this matter to me. I will not let your father die in vain."
Sea Abyss Dharma King gently patted Zhang Ruochen's shoulder, seemingly casually, but he sent an imperceptible hidden force into Zhang Ruochen's body, entering his meridians and sacred veins.
The real Blood Dragon Young Master would certainly not be able to detect Sea Abyss Dharma King's hidden force, but Zhang Ruochen's perception was extremely strong, and he sensed that power immediately.
"Sea Abyss Dharma King is probing my physique, trying to confirm my identity. He still doesn't fully trust me. Truly a suspicious old fox."
Zhang Ruochen pretended not to notice, continuing to pour out his grievances to Sea Abyss Dharma King.
Through the Formless and Signless Thirty-Six Transformations, aside from his cultivation level, Zhang Ruochen's body had undergone earth-shattering changes. Sea Abyss Dharma King naturally could not detect any flaws.
When Sea Abyss Dharma King withdrew his palm, cold sweat had already broken out on Zhang Ruochen's back. He secretly rejoiced: "Fortunately, I didn't suppress my cultivation to Fish-Dragon Ninth Transformation; otherwise, I wouldn't have passed this test. If I hadn't passed, I would probably be a bloody pulp by now."
"Are you nervous seeing your grandmaster?"
Sea Abyss Dharma King had sensed something and deliberately asked this.
Zhang Ruochen coughed twice, coughing up a handful of blood, his face extremely pale. He bowed and said: "Grandmaster is a saint who penetrates heaven and earth, with a reputation that shakes the Kunlun Realm. Not to mention your disciple's grandson, anyone in the world who could stand so close to grandmaster would certainly feel reverence."
Sea Abyss Dharma King smiled with satisfaction, took out a Withered Wood Pill, and handed it to Zhang Ruochen, saying: "Your talent is not bad. You are a promising talent. From now on, stay and cultivate at the Immortal Abyss Sea. Treat this place as your home. This is a Withered Wood Pill. Take it first and strive to recover from your injuries quickly. Once your cultivation is accomplished and you can stand on your own, grandmaster will help you rebuild the Blood Dragon Hall."
Zhang Ruochen took the Withered Wood Pill, showing an extremely grateful and moved expression. He kowtowed in thanks: "Thank you, grandmaster. Your disciple has nothing to repay you with. In the future, I will surely double my filial piety to you, elder."
Sea Abyss Dharma King nodded with a smile and dispatched two close attendants to escort the Blood Dragon Young Master out of the Dharma King Great Hall.
Immediately after, Sea Abyss Dharma King's originally somewhat amiable smile gradually turned eerie, sending chills down one's spine. He said: "Ji Shui, you go to the Yuan Mansion."
The blood-robed person's name was Ji Shui, the tenth disciple of Sea Abyss Dharma King.
"Master truly intends to avenge the ninth senior brother?" Ji Shui asked.
Sea Abyss Dharma King neither confirmed nor denied it, saying: "Go to the Yuan Mansion and investigate the true reason behind the Blood Dragon Hall's annihilation. Also, look into Gu Linfeng. In a place like the Blood Dragon Hall, in just twenty short years, he was able to break through from Fish-Dragon First Transformation to Second-Stage Half-Saint. Is his talent really that high?"
Sea Abyss Dharma King seemed to be speaking to Ji Shui, but also seemed to be talking to himself. After a moment, he added: "Use the power of the sacred edict to rush there. It's best if you return within ten days."
"Your disciple understands."
Ji Shui's body gradually dissipated, turning into a wisp of blood mist that flew out of the Dharma King Great Hall. Before long, he had already flown across the Immortal Abyss Sea, reaching a thousand miles away.
Only Lan Ye and Sea Abyss Dharma King's Sacred Soul Doppelganger remained in the Dharma King Great Hall.
Lan Ye said: "Master is investigating Gu Linfeng so thoroughly. Could it be that you intend to send him into the Netherword Heavenly Palace?"
A cold, calculating smile appeared on Sea Abyss Dharma King's face, and he said: "Is there anyone more suitable than him now? However, we still need to test him and see exactly how strong he is."
...
...
The two close attendants who led Zhang Ruochen were named Ru Xin and Ru Yue. Both were beauties chosen from among a hundred, with voluptuous figures and extremely seductive, enchanting postures.
However, Zhang Ruochen had no interest in them at all.
In terms of beauty, they were a hundred thousand miles behind Duanmu Xingling and Shengshu Cainü.
In terms of seductiveness, they were far inferior to the former Red Desire Star Envoy, Ye Honglei.
Zhang Ruochen had read the information about the Blood Dragon Young Master. This brat had once stayed at the Immortal Abyss Sea for a period of time. Later, because he slept with one of Sea Abyss Dharma King's close attendants, he was sent back to the Blood Dragon Hall.
Although this matter was secret, the Black Market First Class Hall's intelligence network covered every corner of the world and had long been recorded in the archives.
"Sea Abyss Dharma King clearly knows about the Blood Dragon Young Master's past record, yet he still sends two young and beautiful close attendants to take care of my daily needs. How interesting."
Zhang Ruochen pondered inwardly, feeling that Sea Abyss Dharma King's behavior was quite abnormal, and thus became even more vigilant.
Abnormality always harbors evil.
On the Immortal Abyss Sea, there were over a hundred islands, each built with magnificent palaces. Generally, only Sea Abyss Dharma King's disciples were qualified to occupy an island as their long-term cultivation ground.
However, tonight, an exception was made. Zhang Ruochen also occupied a small island alone.
The island's name was "Forget the Beginning Island." It was said to have been the island occupied by the Blood Dragon Young Master's father, Gu Yan, and was less than a hundred miles away from the Kong Cheng Island where the Dharma King Great Hall was located.
"Young Master Gu, please first recover from your injuries. We two servant girls will wait outside. If you need anything, just give the order." Ru Yue said in a sweet, coquettish voice, blinking her eyes in a rather alluring manner.
Zhang Ruochen stared at Ru Yue, his gaze traveling from her head down to her feet, then he gave a wicked smile and said: "Come here."
A blush appeared on Ru Yue's fair face. She bit her lower lip with her teeth, putting on a shy expression, but ultimately walked toward Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen reached out a hand and pinched her round buttocks. An astonishing elasticity transmitted to his fingers, and the full flesh filled his palm.
Ru Yue let out a soft, seductive cry, pouting: "Young Master Gu, we are the Dharma King's close attendants. How can you do this? If the Dharma King finds out, we will both lose our lives."
"Is that so? But the Dharma King sent you to serve this young master. From now on, you are this young master's women. I can play with you however I want... cough cough..."
Zhang Ruochen rubbed his chest, waved his hand, and said: "Forget it... This young master has serious injuries. Tonight, I'll let you off."
Ru Yue rubbed her sore and numb jade-like buttocks and left the cultivation tower at the center of Forget the Beginning Island together with Ru Xin.
Watching the tower door close, the wicked smile on Zhang Ruochen's face receded, gradually turning serious. He looked at his palm, then wiped it on his sleeve.
Both close attendants were at the Fish-Dragon Ninth Transformation cultivation level, definitely not ordinary characters. They were certainly formidable evil path women.
Since that was the case, Zhang Ruochen naturally had to act like the Blood Dragon Young Master should. He had to be careful in everything.
"Given Sea Abyss Dharma King's suspicious nature, he will definitely send people to the Yuan Mansion to investigate the Blood Dragon Young Master's background. I hope Murong Yue has already arranged everything over there." Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.
Zhang Ruochen still had considerable faith in the Black Market First Class Hall's abilities. They could completely help the Blood Dragon Young Master rewrite his background.
For example, the Blood Dragon Young Master had always been at the Second-Stage Half-Saint cultivation level.
Even if Sea Abyss Dharma King sent people to investigate, they could only find such a result.
In the following time, Zhang Ruochen examined the Withered Wood Pill that Sea Abyss Dharma King had given him, confirmed that it was not problematic, then consumed it and began to refine it.
By the next day, Zhang Ruochen's injuries had already fully healed.
"Disciple-nephew Lin Feng, have your injuries recovered?"
Also on this morning, a black shadowy figure flew down to Forget the Beginning Island, appearing at the foot of the cultivation tower.
Inside the cultivation tower, Zhang Ruochen sensed that powerful energy fluctuation. He waved his sleeve, and the heavy tower door slowly opened.
Standing outside the tower was the black-clothed man Zhang Ruochen had seen once at the Dharma King Great Hall yesterday. He only knew that this person's cultivation was extremely strong, but was not very clear about his identity. (To be continued.)
