God Emperor

Chapter 1827: A Nine-step Saint King Kneeling

Kong Hongbi and two of the Ming Halls one hundred and eight Saint Generals—Guo Song and Yuan Che—sat close to the main door. Although their cultivation bases were strong, there were no weaklings in Tianjue Pavilion.

Therefore, the three of them were not particularly conspicuous.

All these years, Kong Hongbi had suffered plenty of setbacks, and his defiant personality had seemingly transformed a lot as he spoke with a serious face. “There are too many strong folks in the Eastern Region Holy city, and its a dangerous place. We better hurry to Yunwu Commandery, and not stay here for a long time.”

Guo Song whispered, “Sir, are you really that willing to hand the Godstone to Zhang Ruochen?”

After breaking through the realm of a Saint King, Kong Hongbi was promoted to the Deputy Hall Master of the Ming Hall.

He was already one of the powerful persons in Ming Hall.

Kong Hongbi was naturally very reluctant. One needed to know that the first time he saw Zhang Ruochen, the latter was as weak as a flea. Who would have thought that Zhang Ruochen would be so powerful now? He was like an insurmountable divine mountain, blocking Kong Hongbis path and leaving him to only look upward.

Yuan Che smiled and came up with an idea. “Why dont we hide the Godstone and say that it was taken away by the cultivators from another realm. Now that the Ming Hall needs all the manpower it has, the Saint Lord will definitely not punish us heavily.”

“That will work. The Ming Halls Godstone should never be handed to an outsider,” Guo Song said in a righteous tone.

“You think the Saint Lord is so gullible?”

Kong Hongbi stared at Yuan Che and Guo Song before he slowly said, “Zhang Ruochen may not have seen a Godstone yet.”

“What do you mean?” Guo Song and Yuan Che asked at the same time.

“Even for me, this was the first time I saw a Godstone. Legend has it that Zhang Ruochens cultivation had reached a rather terrifying level, but it happened in a very short period of time. His accumulation of knowledge is far from comparable to that of mine. There is a possibility that he may have not seen a Godstone before,” Kong Hongbi said.

Yuan Che let out a contemplative look as he smiled. “Understood, so Deputy Hall Master, you mean that we hand Zhang Ruochen a fake Godstone since he wont recognize it. But, it wont be easy to do fake it. After all, Zhang Ruochen is not a fool.”
