Chapter 1046: Chapter 1046

"Mm, big brother I’ve remembered!" said the Black Dragon Saint.

With a grasp of his hand, he collected all the items on the ground into his storage bag.

Zhang Xiaohao did the same, storing these items inside the Shennong Ring. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝗻𝗼𝘷𝗲𝗹•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥

With a flip of his hand, he took out the blood-red scepter they had obtained from the Red Robe Great Sect Master.

"Big brother, this thing is really eerie!" the Black Dragon Saint commented.

"It’s the supreme scepter of the Red Orchid Church! Simple in function, yet very powerful!" Zhang Xiaohao explained seriously.

Having dealt with the Red Orchid Church many times before, although this was his first time seeing the blood-red scepter, he was not at all unfamiliar with its function!

With a touch of his fingers, a wisp of Shennong True Qi flowed into the blood-red scepter.

The blood-red scepter vibrated, emitting a red glow from the central gem, which showered upon Zhang Xiaohao.

"Hmm? My power actually increased by one fold!" Zhang Xiaohao remarked with a furrowed brow.

Then, he grasped the blood-red scepter and put it away.

"Little Black, go take a bath!" Zhang Xiaohao instructed.

"Mm." The Black Dragon Saint replied, heading towards his room.

Zhang Xiaohao also got up from the sofa and walked towards the nearby bathroom.

Entering the bathroom, he took off his clothes, turned on the faucet, and took a cold shower.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Xiaohao emerged, fully dressed.

Just at that moment, the Black Dragon Saint finished his bath and came out.

"Big brother, I’m hungry!" the Black Dragon Saint said.

"Wait for me in the living room, I’ll have them send some food over," Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

With that, he turned and walked outside.

Leaving the room, Zhang Xiaohao grabbed a bottle of red wine and sat down in the resting area.

"Come here!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

The burly man in black from before approached again.

"Sir, do you have any orders?" the burly man in black said respectfully.

"Let me ask you, the three girls living in the room, when did they leave?" Zhang Xiaohao inquired.

"It seems to be around eleven last night!" the burly man in black replied.

"Do you know where they went?" Zhang Xiaohao asked again.

"I don’t know!" said the burly man in black truthfully.

"Give orders to mobilize everyone to track their whereabouts! Once they’re found, inform me immediately!" Zhang Xiaohao commanded.

"Yes, sir!" replied the burly man in black.

"Also, bring us some special meals and drinks to the room," Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Yes!" the burly man in black replied.

"This is your reward," Zhang Xiaohao said.

He took out a superior-grade martial arts skill book from his pocket and tossed it over.

These lower-level martial arts skills, he had plenty inside the Shennong Ring, collected from destroying various sects earlier.

"Thank you for the reward, sir!" said the burly man in black respectfully.

He bowed and withdrew.

Zhang Xiaohao holding red wine, began walking back to the room.

"Big brother, has the food arrived?" the Black Dragon Saint asked.

"Almost, how can you be hungry already?" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

"Yes! I didn’t eat enough last night and worked all night, I’m starving!" the Black Dragon Saint said.

"I’ve ordered a big meal, it should be here soon, here, have some wine first," Zhang Xiaohao chuckled.

"Big brother, I prefer the food you cook yourself. Theirs isn’t as tasty!" the Black Dragon Saint said.

"Once we return, I’ll cook for you!" Zhang Xiaohao smiled.

"Yay! I knew you’re the best, big brother." The Black Dragon Saint said excitedly.

Soon, there was a knock on the door. Zhang Xiaohao opened it, and a waiter pushed in a dining cart.

"Sir, here’s your breakfast!" the waiter said politely.

"Mm, place the food on the coffee table," Zhang Xiaohao instructed.

"Yes, sir!" the waiter replied, setting the food on the coffee table as instructed.

Also, there were several bottles of 1969 vintage Lafite red wine and some precious Moutai.

"Little Black, hurry and eat! After eating, you can sleep well." Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

"Mm." the Black Dragon Saint responded.

He sat down beside the coffee table, grabbed a bottle of red wine, tore off a chicken leg, and started eating heartily.

Zhang Xiaohao was also hungry; after the grand battle last night, he had spent so much energy, so he sat down and started eating too.

After having their fill of food and wine, Zhang Xiaohao put down his chopsticks and glanced at the sky outside. It was already getting light.

"Big brother, I’m going to sleep," the Black Dragon Saint said.

"Mm, go ahead!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

After the Black Dragon Saint left, Zhang Xiaohao stood up from the sofa and walked towards his bedroom.

Entering the bedroom, he took off his clothes, took out a dozen red elixirs and five blood sacrifice fruits, swallowed them, and sat cross-legged on the floor, employing the Shennong Battle Sky Technique to recover the True Qi and Bloodline Power he had consumed internally.

Time passed, and a day had gone by.

Throughout this day, in the capital of F country, many events had occurred.

On the surface, everything seemed normal, just like before.

Yet, secretly, the forces of the Red Orchid Church were searching worldwide for Zhang Xiaohao and the Black Dragon Saint.

At the same time, the movements of the Red Orchid Church stirred the hidden forces lurking in the shadows into action.

As for the events that transpired last night at the Red Orchid Church, the church tried desperately to keep it concealed.

However, spies from various factions, far from being idle, managed through various means to uncover much of what had transpired at the Red Orchid Church.

Upon learning that the Red Orchid Church’s highest hierarchy, including the Red Robe Great Sect Master and twelve Red Priests, along with thousands of Round Table Knights and Red Priests, were slain by a mysterious figure, and that treasures like the Purification Heavenly Water were snatched away, the various forces could no longer sit still.

Commands were immediately issued, ordering their spies to locate the mysterious figure in the shortest time possible and seize the Purification Heavenly Water and other treasures from him.

Meanwhile, factions opposing the Red Orchid Church.

Sent large groups of menacing forces approaching the Red Orchid Church, reeking of evil intent.

As night fell, the hidden forces lurking in the shadows, without delay, brandished their butcher’s knife, attacking the Red Orchid Church.

Intending to mercilessly tear another piece of flesh from the Red Orchid Church.

Facing such a multitude of powerful assailants, the remaining members of the Red Orchid Church, without a leader among them, could not possibly fend them off and hurriedly retreated.

Just as the Red Orchid Church seemed on the verge of defeat, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from deep within the church, followed by a white-haired woman in a black Great Sect Master’s robe emerging from the earth.

With thunderous methods, she launched an assault on those strong adversaries...
