King of Creation Chapter 2210 - 2195: Underestimated

Just one day after the report, a batch of special guests arrived at Ye Zhen’s Blood River Fortress.

This group of special guests came under the pretense of supplementing the Blood River Fortress’s military priests.

The group was small, consisting of only thirty people.

However, all thirty were in the Dao Realm.

Among them were twenty of the highest-ranking sacrificial guards from the temple, with Cultivation levels ranging from Mid-stage to Late Stage.

The remaining ten people were led by the Second Grand Power Sacrifice, Tongna, including the Third Grand Power Sacrifice, Kanmo, the Seventh Grand Power Sacrifice, Tap Menn Changyin, and the Eighth Grand Power Sacrifice, Ge Yan. One of them was a hunched-over old eunuch in gray clothes.

This old eunuch looked as if he was on the brink of death, but apart from the Second Grand Power Sacrifice, Tongna, no one dared to walk ahead of him upon entering the tent.

This old eunuch represented the Ren Venerate Emperor Ji Long.

There was also a martial artist with an ethereal aura. At first glance, the person was there, but upon closer inspection, seemed non-existent.

He could be seen by the eyes, but not sensed by Divine Sense.

Ye Zhen, knowledgeable as he was, recognized this person as one of the top figures among the Void Hunting Kings.

At the same time, he was also one of the most feared presences in the Dao Realm.

This Void Hunting King represented the Heavenly Patrol Department and the Military Department.

Besides these six, there were four others dressed in the purple elder robes of the Ancestor God Temple. These four were elders of a rank just below the Grand Power Sacrifice.

According to the Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang, these four elders were all experts in Formation Talisman techniques from the Ancestor God Temple, specially dispatched to investigate the matter and require Ye Zhen’s cooperation.

However, with such a grand lineup, could Ye Zhen dare not cooperate?

Especially with the presence of the old eunuch and the Void Hunting King, Ye Zhen found his own breathing somewhat constrained.

"Ye Zhen, lead the way!"

Without any nonsense, the Second Grand Power Sacrifice, Tongna, directly issued the order.

Ye Zhen and the Second Grand Power Sacrifice, Tongna, had a poor relationship to begin with, and Ye Zhen just wanted to hand over this troublesome matter as soon as possible.

As for why the Second Grand Power Sacrifice, Tongna, was leading the group, the Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang had explained.

By ancestral rule, the Great Chief Priest Bai Xiang must stay in the Ancestor God Temple and cannot leave easily, so as this matter was of great importance, it could only be led by the Second Grand Power Sacrifice, Tongna.

Swiftly, Ye Zhen led a team of soldiers, and under the guise of inspection, brought these thirty individuals to the Blood River entrance using the flagship.

Personally guiding them, Ye Zhen arrived at the insignificant whirlpool on the riverbed of the Blood River, at which the Void Hunting King frowned, "So secretive; this investigation will probably be a thousand times more difficult!"

The Second Grand Power Sacrifice, Tongna, glanced at the Void Hunting King but did not speak, proceeding with the Dao Realm sacrificial guards leading and then entering himself, behaving quite cautiously.

With Ye Zhen leading the way, it didn’t take long to reach the mysterious light curtain of the Blood River Forbidden Land.

Compared to seeing or getting information from the Jade Scroll, the actual sight of the Blood River Forbidden Land light curtain was much more shocking.

The elders of the Ancestor God Temple were left gaping for a long moment, but those Dao Realm sacrificial guards immediately secured the surroundings, including the whirlpool entrance.

"Tong Daquan Priest, the path has been shown, so I will take my leave now. If you need anything or have any requests, please contact me via the Jade Scroll," Ye Zhen said.

Ye Zhen thought the request was quite normal, but Tongna’s brows furrowed, "Hold on, you can’t leave yet."

"Why?" Ye Zhen was astonished.

"You know this Blood River Forbidden Land light curtain best. You can’t leave until the truth is uncovered," Tongna said.

"But I’ve already detailed everything in the Jade Scroll."

"You must stay put, including those Water Demons, to maintain secrecy. No one can leave," Tongna ordered sternly.

Ye Zhen was stunned, feeling somewhat aggrieved.

"Sir, this place was discovered by some of my brothers first, and they are not under the Ancestor God Temple’s jurisdiction, so they come and go as they please.

As for me, while I belong to the Ancestor God Temple, I also hold a military post; I am under military orders, and I seek your understanding."

Finishing, Ye Zhen flicked his sleeve and commanded, "Brother, we are leaving!"

Before he could move, the Second Grand Power Sacrifice, Tongna, coldly demanded, "Associating with the Demon Race and fraternizing with them makes it impossible to let you leave."

Suddenly, a surge of anger arose, "Tongna, Grand Power Sacrifice, you must understand that this place was first discovered by my Demon Race brothers, which led to your knowledge.

If they wanted to leak it, they would have already done so, leaving no need for you to preside here."

Having said that, Ye Zhen clasped his hands, "Farewell!"

"Stop!"

"Sacrificial guards, heed my order. If anyone dares to leave by force, kill without mercy!" The sinister voice of the Second Grand Power Sacrifice, Tongna, resonated.

These words made the old eunuch and the Void Hunting King glance sideways.

Ye Zhen’s face was filled with anger, as his attempt to report a problem had brought him such trouble.

Nonetheless, for the public interest, Ye Zhen would have reported it even knowing the hassle it would cause.

"Sacrificial guards, by no means use force! This Blood River light curtain contains an incredible amount of energy, and any power set off could lead to a catastrophic disaster," warned the Eighth Grand Power Sacrifice, Ge Yan.

The sacrificial guards hesitated instantly, and even the Second Grand Power Sacrifice, Tongna, had an embarrassed look on his face.

"Force can’t be used here, but outside this entrance, it can! No matter what, to ensure secrecy, no one can leave," Tongna insisted firmly.

At this moment, Ye Zhen had a sense of utter frustration, viewing the Second Grand Power Sacrifice, Tongna, with decreased respect.

"That’s fine; I won’t leave if that’s the case. Same to me!"

Ye Zhen folded his arms, leaving everyone present somewhat stunned, but then continued, "However, the Second Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Zhuiri, is leading a million troops in attack, arriving shortly.

If I’m not here as the commander of the Heavenly Wave Army of North Sea, and no one oversees the battle, by the time the Blood River Fortress falls, Tongna, Grand Power Sacrifice, you’ll be responsible!" Ye Zhen remarked.

The Second Grand Power Sacrifice, Tongna, seemed confident with Ye Zhen’s assertion, "No worries, this seat will contact the Human Demon Battlefield Grand Commander, Ji Yuan soon, to dispatch significant forces here. By then, no matter how many troops the Second Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Zhuiri, brings, they won’t break the Blood River Fortress!"

"Foolish!"

"Idiot!"

The first two words came from Ye Zhen’s mouth.

The latter two came from the hunched old eunuch.

This scolding caused the old face of the Second Grand Power Sacrifice, Tongna, to flush with anger, ready to explode.

"You claim to want secrecy, yet you want to marshal large armies to defend the Blood River Fortress. Won’t that draw attention? Do you think the Demon Clan and other forces are as idiotic as you?" the gray-robed old eunuch scolded relentlessly.

"According to Chief Priest Bai’s speculation, the Blood River Forbidden Land formation is likely related to the Demon Clan. If there’s a massive troop movement, drawing the attention of the Demon Clan’s high ranks, the outcome could be disastrous...." Ye Zhen also laughed coldly.

With just a couple of phrases, the points of Ye Zhen and the eunuch completely countered the Second Grand Power Sacrifice, Tongna.

"Farewell!"

With a simple bow, Ye Zhen led the Great Saint of Jinghai and others away grandly, leaving the Second Grand Power Sacrifice, Tongna, with a darkened face, speechless for a long time!
