Immortal Warriors
IW 80 - Ancient Ruins of the Night Goddess

Ling Zhen and Yue Rou followed the White Fox who was leading them. The cave at each corner was a torch leading the two of them to a vast ruin that was underground.

As the name implies, the Ancient Ruins of the Night Goddess are only open at night. The door to the Ancient Ruins of the Night Goddess would close by itself after morning came.

Ling Zhen did not let down his guard, nor did Yue Rou. After descending the steps that brought Ling Zhen and Yue Rou to a ruin, the White Fox directly leaped onto Ling Zhen's head.

Smelling the fishy scent of fresh blood from the battle marks, it felt a huge murderous aura signaling the battle in the Ancient Ruins of the Night Goddess.

“Zhenzhen-Hmm, Zhen.” Yue Rou tilted her head as she called out Ling Zhen's name.

“Hah? What's up, Rou?” Ling Zhen opened the door made of stone. There is seen the Red Cloud Army fighting fiercely against a group of warriors numbering hundreds of people.

“I just want to get used to calling your name.” Yue Rou walked near Ling Zhen, after the door opened immediately she drew both of her swords.

“Where's Queen?” Yue Rou did not expect the situation in the Ancient Ruins of the Night Goddess to have become a battle. No one was aware of the arrival of Ling Zhen and Yue Rou who were indeed both opening the doors of the Night Goddess Ancient Ruins slowly.

When Yue Rou saw Chu Xiulan's body lying limp on the rock, meanwhile there was an Advisor Xiong holding Chu Xiulan's head.

“Queen!” Yue Rou shouted. Instantly all the fighting warriors stared at him.

“Capture him and hand him over to Mr Lei Wei!”

“Looks like he knows the whereabouts of the Sky Spear, we have to catch him!”

The members of the Red Cloud Army stared at Yue Rou intently before forming a formation that surrounded the woman.

“Zhen Siege, I will fight them, you just wake the Queen up and take her away from here!” Yue Rou let out a huge amount of murderous aura after Ling Zhen darted towards the Xiong Advisor's place.

“We meet again, damn boy!” Jiu Hen was about to head off Ling Zhen, but when Ling Zhen's back let out a flame that formed wings, Jiu Hen's whip could be avoided by Ling Zhen easily.

“Blown Nine Phoenix!” Ling Zhen charged at Jiu Hen before releasing a single deadly claw at Adviser Xiong.

“Phoenix King Claw!” But Ling Zhen's attack was held in place by a smoldering fire, an explosion a second later.

Ling Zhen used the opportunity to seize Chu Xiulan's body from Xiong's Counselor.

“Xiuu, do you really not trust me?” Ling Zhen looked at Chu Xiulan's face which held a million sorrows.

Seeing how Chu Xiulan and Yue Rou who were stronger than him made Ling Zhen decide to forge back his abilities.

‘Maybe I was too hasty to decide to get out of the Valley of Gods, but I do not regret it because with all my decisions I met you.’ Ling Zhen brought Chu Xiulan's body to where Yue Rou was.

“Zhen Bridge, we're surrounded!” Yue Rou cursed because within the Red Cloud Army were the higher-ups of the Night Goddess Clan.

“Miss Yue, where is Mr Lei Wei, has he taken away your chastity?” One of the higher-ups of the Red Cloud Army named Gao Yang looked at Yue Rou lowly.

“Dragon talks, rubbish!” Ling Zhen looked at Gao Yang sharply and shouted loudly.

“Who are you?! How dare you yell at me?!” Gao Yang retaliated fiercely.

There was soon the sound of applause from Counselor Xiong. It seems everything went according to the man's plan.

“Yue Rou, I didn't expect you to come bring the young man. I thought that young man had died in the hands of Queen Chu. But it seemed, Queen Chu really loved her. Actually what is special about that weak young man?” Adviser Xiong mocked Ling Zhen who was carrying Chu Xiulan's body.

“What do you mean?!" Yue Rou looked at Adviser Xiong full of anger.

“Rouffer don't listen.” Ling Zhen calmly reprimanded Yue Rou as he poured his profound energy on Chu Xiulan's entire body.

“After Xiu Wake up, go to the city and protect the residents. It seemed like that person named Xiong had killed the entire noble family that filled the seat of the government of the Chu Empire.” Ling Zhen recalled the White Fox's story of Xiong's Advisory Plan.

“How about you?” Yue Rou was still worried about Ling Zhen, even though the young man said he wanted to protect himself, but his heart still could not shake the worry.

“I'll measure time.” Ling Zhen smiled towards Yue Rou. Seen there a face full of worry on him, “Tenaknya, I will not die. Because I promised to wake up my mom.”

Chu Xiulan opened his eyes and found himself in the arms of a young man, “Ling Zhen..”.

“Rouder, I leave it to you..” Ling Zhen instantly lowered Chu Xiulan's body and released a large amount of the Aura of the King of Hell.

“But-”

“Quick go!” Ling Zhen shouted as Yue Rou looked doubtful to him. Yue Rou withdrew Chu Xiulan's hand and carried a run towards the city as Ling Zhen opened the path.

It took a huge amount of energy as well as body aura, but Ling Zhen managed to intercept the entire Night Goddess Clan members disguised as Red Cloud Army and he managed to hold all the members of the Black Demon Flag.

“Hell Fire Wall!” Ling Zhen grinned along with the plugging of the Nine Dragons Sword into the ground after he took it from the King Room.

The wall of fire that surrounded the Ancient Ruins of the Night Goddess towered high into the sky.

“Oi, does he think can stop us all?!” Gao Yang laughed heartily at Ling Zhen's actions protecting Yue Rou and Chu Xiulan.

Counselor Xiong shook his head, “After all it is too late. I have already met Lin Zi and Shi Mubai from the Demon Worshiping Sect. Now I'm sure they're both slaughtering innocent residents after taking out all the royals.”

Hearing that the look on Ling Zhen's face worsened. The situation in the Capital of Chudong was completely beyond his means. He could have exceeded his limits, but all of that would have left him paralyzed for life and could no longer be a swordsman.

Ling Zhen had already decided on it, even if he was crippled, he would still fight to gain the trust of Chu Xiulan and Yue Rou.

But hearing the name of the Demon Worshiping Sect that was the mastermind behind all this made Ling Zhen despair.

‘Human boy, I had expected it to be like this. Can you last two hours?’ The White Fox spoke while watching the people around Ling Zhen.

“What are you planning, White Fox?” Ling Zhen asked, in his heart he felt that the White Fox was planning something that he had long thought of after the White Fox had always reminded him that he would not forever accompany him.

‘I'll help you. This form of mine will disappear completely, but some of my spirits will become a sword and in that sword will be the Curse of the Spirit of the God of Death.’ The White Fox looked at Ling Zhen's teary eyes.

‘Are you able to last for two hours, human boy?’ The White Fox could tell at this moment Ling Zhen's feelings were wavering, but nevertheless he had chosen to help this human and entrust the future to his weak shoulders.

No one realized how fragile and weak Ling Zhen was. And the one who realized it was only the White Fox.

“I can.” Ling Zhen lowered his head while smilingly hiding his feelings.

‘Good. That's the answer I want to hear from my student.’ The White Fox smiled before returning to sleep in Ling Zhen's head.

Simultaneously, Jiu Hen and Gao Yang attacked Ling Zhen simultaneously, while the battle between the Night Goddess Clan and the Black Demon Flag again broke out.
