If the people couldn't defeat the Third Royal Prince and Jialuo Gu, allowing them to sit in the Heir Seat, the clans and forces would be embarrassed . But that was only a small matter .
More importantly, the Heir's position was nothing insignificant . If the Vampires or Death Zen Sect took a spot each and received the great resources only an Heir could have, it would practically be supporting their enemies .
The resources used to cultivate an Heir were unimaginable for the common man .
Provoked purposely by them, most of the young Monks became furious and hot-blooded . They wanted to personally teach the Third Royal Prince and Jialuo Gu a lesson .
This included Ouyang Huan, Gai Tianjiao, Xue Wuye and the others . They were the cream of the crop already sitting in the Heir Seats, but they also had these thoughts . They were confident in their abilities . They believed that they could easily take care of these two .
Only Zhang Ruochen had a furrowed brow . Things weren't so positive . He looked over to the Talents and Conquers who had started inciting everyone first, and noted who they were .
These people were from different forces, but they could be Vampires who'd modified their appearances . Others might not know how powerful the Vampires were, but Zhang Ruochen was very clear .
Back then, Emperor Ming and Emperor Qing had teamed up against the Blood Empress and were still horribly defeated . As for how Emperor Ming had defeated the Blood Empress later, throwing her into the abyss, Zhang Ruochen wasn't quite sure .
Anyhow, the Vampires were much stronger than people thought . Otherwise, Emperor Ming wouldn't have united all the Monks in Kunlun's Field against them .
Even the Saints present had probably learned about the Vampires from books . They hadn't experienced that battle 800 years ago, so they weren't clear about the Vampires' true abilities .
Zhang Ruochen hated Chi Yao and wanted to take revenge on her and, sometimes, even on the country . However, deep down, he didn't wish for the world to be in chaos and for disaster to fall again .
The current prosperity had rarely been seen throughout the long history of Kunlun's Field .
Once war erupted, so many people would lose their homes and become refugees . It would take so many years for the world to redevelop to this point .
At the very least, Zhang Ruochen hated the Vampires and Death Zen Sect more . He wouldn't allow them to bring disaster back to Kunlun's Field .
Zhang Ruochen seemed very calm as he looked at Huang Yanchen . "Princess, let's go sit somewhere and watch the situation quietly . "
Huang Yanchen studied Zhang Ruochen with misty eyes . Half a beat later, she finally asked, "Where do you want me to sit?"
Zhang Ruochen avoided Huang Yanchen's gaze . He looked up at the mountaintop and pointed . "The first seat of the King Seats . "
He didn't plan for Huang Yanchen to get in the Heir Seat . That would only push her back into danger . There were no benefits .
The first King Seat didn't have any tangible benefits either . It was only an honor and would have less competition in comparison .
Plus, people were feeling more animosity towards the Third Royal Prince and Jialuo Gu now . They all wanted to stop them from climbing up Scroll Mountain . No one should jump out to stop Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen .
Captain Rat and Bu Qianfan's battle stopped, too . The man and beast separated immediately without producing a winner .
Captain Rat returned to the 12th King Seat and sat down . He started using a technique to recover the Holy Qi he'd used up .
Bu Qianfan came to Huang Yanchen's side . His Battle Qi was still heavy . "Princess Yanchen, do you need me to help you to the Heir Seat?"
Huang Yanchen shook her head . "I can't sit in an Heir Seat with my skills . I only wish to keep a King Seat . Thus, Junior Brother Apprentice Lin Yue's protection is enough . General Bu, your cultivation is unparalleled . You should compete for the Heir Seat so the Vampire and Death Zen Sect can't succeed . "
Bu Qianfan could see the situation clearly, so he didn't insist . "In that case, I'll take up an Heir Seat first . I hope the Vampire and Death Zen Sect reach the mountaintop so I can fight them to the ends of the earth . "
In the end, Bu Qianfan was from the Ministry of War and Bu Saint Sect . They must have ordered him to compete for the Heir Seat .
Earlier, he'd only helped Huang Yanchen because he owed Zhang Ruochen . Since Huang Yanchen didn't need his help anymore, he would obviously go for the Heir Seat .
Bu Qianfan used a technique, kicked off from the step, and soared to the top of Scroll Mountain . No one stopped him along the way and he got an Heir Seat successfully .
The young talents sitting in the King Seat were all waiting for the Third Royal Prince and Jialuo Gu to climb up . They would defeat them first and then try for an Heir Seat .
"Let's go!"
Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen walked side by side . They passed by the King Seats, not stopping until they reached the first one near the peak of the mountain .
The Monk who'd been in the first seat had just climbed to the top and sat down in an Heir Seat . This position was still empty .
Huang Yanchen didn't sit down immediately . Her blue eyes turned towards Zhang Ruochen . "You sit down . I'll be your guard . "
Zhang Ruochen smiled and shook his head . "You aren't powerful enough . You can't be my guard . "
Huang Yanchen nibbled on her lips . She knew that her words would be useless, so she stepped forward to the scroll that the first King Seat was on . She sat down .
Zhang Ruochen also stepped forward onto the scroll . Strands of white light rose up from the scroll . The light expanded to ten times their size and formed a square platform .
Zhang Ruochen realized that if anyone wanted to challenge the first King Seat, the seat's scroll would transform into a micro-world instantly . If the original person was forced out of the micro-world, the challenge would be successful .
Huang Yanchen was now in the King Seat, waiting for the other Monks to challenge her . She stared hard at Zhang Ruochen . Seeing that his face was slightly pale, she realized that the injury from before was very serious .
"Your injury…" Huang Yanchen was worried . Her eyes were filled with concern .
Zhang Ruochen pretended that everything was alright and smiled . "It's okay . I took a pill earlier and I'm fine now . "
He coughed twice and then horrible pain ripped through his lungs . With a pff, he spat out a mouthful of blood .
Zhang Ruochen's lung had been pierced during the battle with Mu Lingxi . Then he'd fought with Le, missing the best time for recovery . This worsened his injury .
Huang Yanchen was shocked . She shot up from her seat to steady Zhang Ruochen . However, he was already sitting on the ground, eyes closed . He used a technique to activate the medicinal power of the pill and treat himself .
Body-Protecting Holy Kang radiated from him, blocking him from Huang Yanchen . She didn't dare to disturb Zhang Ruochen either . She stayed outside the Kang Qi, staring hard at Zhang Ruochen . She was extremely worried .
After considering everything, the Saint Lady finally decided to let the Vampire and Death Zen Sect attend the Heir Banquet .
"Thank you, Saint Lady . I will not disappoint you . "
The Third Royal Prince and Jialuo Gu smiled at each other and started for the top at once . Their goal was the Heir Seat . The Talent Seat, Conquer Seat, and King Seat were meaningless .
They'd just set foot on the steps when a youth in the Ninth Change of the Fish-Dragon Realm stood up from a Talent Seat . He pushed off from the ground and charged .
"Daqian Sect, Li Hongyi, here to challenge the Death Zen Sect . "
Li Hongyi attacked with both hands, using a mid-level Ghost Level palm technique: Tianyuan Palm . Mighty Holy Qi surged into his palms, forming a huge circular print more than 100 feet wide .
"Amitabha . "
Emotionless, Jialuo Gu reached out a golden Buddha hand . He slapped in the air like slapping a fly and sent Li Hongyi flying back .
When Li Hongyi landed below the mountain, he was a bloody mess . His Sea of Qi was completely shattered and his meridians were all broken . He hadn't died, but he was completely disabled .
"Yan Saint Sect, Yan Wuji, here to kill the Vampire . "
"If you want to climb to the top, get past me first . Donkey from the Death Zen Sect, die!"
…
Thirty-seven young talents attacked consecutively to stop the Third Royal Prince and Jialuo Gu . However, they were all disabled . None of them could withstand one strike .
The Third Royal Prince and Jialuo Gu's methods were cruel . Each strike shattered the opponent's Sea of Qi or damaged their meridians . They followed the rules and didn't purposefully kill anyone, but this was crueler than murder .
Now, some people finally became clear-headed and realized that the Third Royal Prince and Jialuo Gu had come prepared . Their abilities were frightening .
"He's so powerful . The Third Royal Prince used a finger to pierce through Yan Wuji's Sea of Qi and send him to the foot of the mountain . "
"Jialuo Gu's cultivation is terrifying too . Nineteen famous top fighters all had their meridians destroyed by him . I wonder how much power is contained in his palm . "
"I think a Tier-12 True Martial Weapon will shatter when touching Jialuo Gu's palm . You can't touch him . "
Others discovered that the Monks who'd encouraged everyone to teach the Third Royal Prince and Jialuo Gu a lesson were all sitting in their seats . They hadn't attacked at all . It seemed strange .
The cruel methods used frightened all the Talents and Conquers on Scroll Mountain . No one dared to continue fighting .
At the top of the mountain, Xue Wuye, Ouyang Huan, Gai Tianjiao, and the others discovered something was off . They finally realized that they'd truly underestimated the Vampires and Death Zen Sect .
The Third Royal Prince licked the blood on his fist . He gazed at the Monks on Scroll Mountain with mockery in his eyes and chuckled . "Didn't you all say you wanted to teach me a lesson? How come you don't dare to fight anymore? We've just started . My goal is to disable all you so-called geniuses . Come on, give me the chance . "
A Conquer in the Ninth Change of the Fish-Dragon Realm couldn't stand the Third Royal Prince's provocation and rushed out . But before he could even reach the prince, his spine was snapped by a palm print . He sprawled onto the ground, completely disabled .
"Don't know your own strength," the Third Royal Prince sneered . He stepped on the Conquer's body, ignoring the pained cries, and continued climbing upward .
