Lord Lingquan immediately came after hearing the fighting sound. Seeing Saint Arrow Marquis who was turned from Zhang Ruochen, he yelled, “Saint Arrow Marquis, where’s Zhang Ruochen?”
Zhang Ruochen immediately gave a bow and said, “Zhang Ruochen’s way too powerful, my lord. I failed to stop him.”
Lord Lingquan put his hands behind his back, and his eyes glinted belligerently. “You’re not Zhang Ruochen’s match anyway. Seems like I have to kill Zhang Ruochen myself.”
“Certainly. Zhang Ruochen is nothing to you, my lord.” Zhang Ruochen buttered him up.
Lord Lingquan nodded and said, “Zhang Ruochen escaped by performing spatial move, so it seems we can’t catch him anymore. Let’s go see her highness first, and she’ll give us some further instructions.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t react at all from the appearance, but he was greatly shocked deep down. He looked forward to what was coming next with caution.
He followed Lord Lingquan out of the Bipolar Swamp and entered the forest where the space was chaotic.
“Are we going to the camp of the Luosha race?”
Zhang Ruochen released mind power to inspect the area, and he found a large number of inscriptions underground and in the air. Some of them had existed before, and some were just carved.
Saints would be killed with no doubt if they didn’t know the safe route.
And then, he saw an ancient castle.
The ancient castle seemed to date back to a long time ago, and many places had already collapsed and were remade by stones randomly. When he was only a thousand feet away from the ancient castle, Zhang Ruochen saw a large group of Luosha marquises. Some of them were eating the flesh of saints, some were refining, and some were patrolling.
To the Luosha race, the best way to refine was to eat the flesh of other creatures. They were able to turn the blood Qi and saint Qi of other creatures into their own.
The better the quality of the flesh was, the more they could improve.
Which was why Yuan Hun was eaten.
The Luosha monks who are gathered around the ancient castle are all at least fourth marquises, and there’re a great many of them. If they all rush out, can the saints from the Shatuo Seven Fields defend themselves against them? Zhang Ruochen was shocked.
Fourth marquises were true saints.
Two second marquises were guarding the door, and they were both martial way saints who were pinnacle absolute saints with level-forty-four mind power.
“Lord Lingquan.”
“Saint Arrow Marquis.”
They immediately let them in, as they were prominent beings.
At the center of the ancient castle was a fragmented palace, and the stone pillars were thicker than buckets. The statues gave out divine forces, making Zhang Ruochen and Lord Lingquan look small.
At this moment, a large group of first marquises were gathering in the palace, and each of them was releasing evil sha Qi. Their blood Qi was strong, like divine dragons, giant elephants, and Qilin.
First marquises like Yang Qi, Qian Yu, and Lord Xianling were standing at the front, followed by the weaker ones.
Zhang Ruochen was shocked to see so many first marquises, as there were almost one hundred of them.
These first marquises were enough to defeat all the saints from the Shatuo Seven Fields.
And besides, these were just the first marquises who were in the palace, and there were many more of them in the ninety-nine saint mountains and the other four Zuling fragments.
“How… How did the Luosha race get so powerful?”
Zhang Ruochen tried to remain calm.
There were probably less than five saints from Guanghan Field who could rival first marquises, and even besides Great Devil Ten Square Field, there were probably less than thirty of them.
To the Luosha race, the number of most talented people from a large field was nothing.
Little did Zhang Ruochen know was that Princess Luosha had deployed three million marquises to Zuling Field to kill the saints from Shatuo Seven Fields.
First marquises were one in ten thousand, so there were still some among those three million marquises.
Zhang Ruochen had now confirmed his assumption seeing the sheer number of first marquises.
The Luosha race had spread a dragnet, yet the saints from Shatuo Seven Fields were still fighting each other for merits. Zhang Ruochen suddenly found it ironic.
Saints were the pillar of any world, and it showed whether a field was prosperous or not.
If all the saints in a large field were annihilated, it might take the field more than a millennium to recover from that.
And now, all the one million saints from the Shatuo Seven Fields’ lives were in danger.
And Zhang Ruochen was the only one who realized that.
Some of the monks were relieved when they saw Zhang Ruochen walk into the palace, but some were still worried, as they reckoned Zhang Ruochen might be seen through.
“Zhang Ruochen should’ve figured out Princess Luosha’s plan. Let’s see what he’s going to do about it.”
“Zhang Ruochen’s Tracelsss Thirty-six Changes is incredible. If he can deceive Lord Lingquan, he should be able to do the same to Princess Luosha.”
“Perhaps Zhang Ruochen’s the only one who can rival Princess Luosha out of everyone from the Shatuo Seven Fields. He’s the only hope we’ve got.”
“If Zhang Ruochen can help half the saints survive, he’ll be famous in Heaven World.”
“Half? Impossible? They’ll be lucky if they’re totally annihilated.”
…
When Zhang Ruochen stepped into the palace, many prominent beings from Heaven World deemed that he was the rival of Princess Luosha.
It was itself incredible for someone to be the rival of Princess Luosha.
Princess Luosha was standing at the top of the palace, and she was covered by thick evil sha Qi which was tumbling like blood mist.
Although Zhang Ruochen couldn’t see her real face, her shape looked very familiar.
Princess Luosha was very angry. She yelled, “Didn’t you hear what I told you? Before we conquer the deepest boundary of the Phoenix Nest, don’t go after Zhang Ruochen, and don’t show up in front of him.”
Zhang Ruochen was surprised to hear his name.
It was the first time that he heard the voice of Princess Luosha, but Zhang Ruochen found it kind of familiar.
It was contradictory, yet the feelings coexisted.
There must be something wrong with this Princess Luosha. Zhang Ruochen looked at Princess Luosha standing at the top.
Lord Lingquan stood at the very front and said, “We in the Luosha race are more than strong enough to break the boundary deep in the Phoenix Nest. Why do we need the help of Zhang Ruochen?”
Marquis Xianling said, “That’s right. Even if we can’t, you can deploy saint kings here. Why should we be checked by a human man…”
Princess Luosha glared at Marquis Xianling, which frightened her and shut her up.
Yang Qi smiled and said, “Her highness is brilliant. Everything you guys have in mind, she has it too. The three million marquises dispatched by her highness are already the bottom line of Heaven World. If she really brings up saint kings to Zuling Field, there’s no way that Heaven World won’t interfere, and they’ll also send saint kings here, which will only make things out of control. If that happens, Zuling Field will be destroyed before we crack the boundary of the Phoenix Nest open.”
“You should know that her highness wants to destroy all the saints from the Shatuo Seven Fields and to get the valuable in Phoenix Nest.”
“The more it gets out of control, the less beneficial it’s going to be for us.”
Every word Zhang Ruochen heard made him scared.
Three million marquises?
Zhang Ruochen was shocked and baffled at the same time.
How could Heaven World let so many Luosha marquises into Zuling Field? Why didn’t they stop the Saints Merits Battle beforehand or notify the saints who were still on the battlefield?
Did those prominent beings from Heaven World believe that the saints from the Shatuo Seven Fields were able to fight three million Luosha marquises?
No wonder Moon Goddess said that a large field was on its own if it wanted to survive. Only those with great value could get help from Heaven World.
Lord Lingquan hated Zhang Ruochen’s guts, so he asked, “What kind of valuables are there in the Phoenix Nest, your highness? I don’t think the inheritance of the Ice and Fire Phoenix is that important to you, your highness. Or perhaps… You don’t want to kill that human man?”
Another first marquis said, “I also want to know, your highness. More than half the saints from the Shatuo Seven Fields have gathered in the ninety-nine saint mountains. It’s the best time to hunt them all down. If we keep waiting, there might be changes.”
Princess Luosha said, “Then I’ll tell you why.”
