Chapter 1029 - Murderous Intent Reappears

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t a brash or impulsive man. It was just that the Canglong Army and Lingxiao Heavenly Mansion’s actions had utterly angered him.

That was why he’d already made up his mind to kill ten generals and take revenge for those who’d died.

No matter what happened, nothing could change this decision.

When Qin Yutong hurried to City 7, Zhang Ruochen was already strolling out of a majestic palace with Liao Huacheng’s head.

As the generals of the Canglong Army die one after another, it’ll get harder to kill more. I must kill at least one more before news of Liao Huacheng’s death spreads.

Even though he’d just killed a Ninth Level Half-Saint, Zhang Ruochen was still very calm. He looked at Qin Yutong with inquisitive eyes.

Qin Yutong could tell that Zhang Ruochen hadn’t lost his mind. “I indeed have information on where another general is.”

“Who is it?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“Qingyi Chan, Flying General of Hanshan,” Qin Yutong said. “She’s the only female general and, like Yan Honglie, in the later stages of the Ninth Level. However…her combat ability is much stronger than his. She’s third of the ten generals.”

“If she’s in the same level as Yan Honglie but her combat ability is much higher, then she must have some powerful trump card, right?”

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t actually arrogant. Instead, he was extremely cautious.

He could kill Yan Honglie with one strike because he’d used the Eight Changes of Scale. He’d slowed down time and performed the fatal strike unexpectedly. His actual abilities were only a bit higher than Yan Honglie. This wasn’t an absolute advantage.

Now, rumors were spreading throughout the Sacred City that Time and Space Descendant Zhang Ruochen had killed three generals of the Canglong Army. The other generals would definitely be on guard.

It would be difficult for Zhang Ruochen to continue using the powers of time and space for sneak attacks. He’d been able to kill Liao Huachen just then mainly because Liao Huachen’s cultivation wasn’t that high. He was only in the beginning of the Ninth Level.

Zhang Ruochen had to be careful when facing opponents more powerful than Yan Honglie.

“Qingyi Chan has a Thousand-pattern Saint Weapon called the Ice Tripod,” Qin Yutong said. “It has strong defensive abilities and also horrifying attack strength. If she uses the Ice Tripod, she can easily defeat Yan Honglie.”

“She has a Thousand-pattern Saint Weapon? It will be troublesome to kill her.”

Zhang Ruochen grew thoughtful. Suddenly, alarms went off in him. He grabbed Qin Yutong’s wrist and pulled her into the Shooting Star Invisibility Cloak.

Whoosh!

Zhang Ruochen used the Spatial Move and brought Qin Yutong to a dark corner hundreds of feet away.

“Collect your aura,” Zhang Ruochen whispered in Qin Yutong’s ear. His eyes were serious.

Qin Yutong’s soft body pressed tightly against Zhang Ruochen. She could clearly feel the heat coming off of Zhang Ruochen and her heart quickened.

She was curious as to what had happened.

“Dammit.”

A furious voice sounded, shaking the entire City 7 like thunder. The next moment, powerful saintly might swept out of the residence where Liao Huacheng had died.

Countless Monks in City 7 prostrated themselves on the ground in terror.

Qin Yutong felt immense pain in her back. It was like countless sharp needles stabbing into her. It wasn’t true pain though. It was a Saint’s mind scanning her.

She finally understood why Zhang Ruochen was so nervous. He’d sensed beforehand that a Saint was coming.

Qin Yutong immediately used a spell to suppress her aura to the minimum.

Tap, tap.

At that moment, soft footsteps came from hundreds of feet away, getting closer and closer to them.

Qin Yutong was extremely nervous. Her slender fingers subconsciously clutched Zhang Ruochen’s shoulders. If the Saint discovered them, they would be totally dead tonight.

“The remaining aura suddenly cut off,” a deep voice said in the distance. It felt cold and heartless. “The Time and Space Descendant’s tricks are indeed strange. Hmph!”

With that, the horrifying saintly might vanished.

The Saint had left.

Zhang Ruochen and Qin Yutong remained hiding inside the Shooting Star Invisibility Cloak. They didn’t walk out impulsively. They waited for an hour before cautiously leaving City 7.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t release Qin Yutong from the Shooting Star Invisibility Cloak until he was sure they’d reached a safe spot.

Zhang Ruochen looked very calm and sure. He didn’t get distracting thoughts just because he’d had close interactions with a beautiful dancer.

Qin Yutong was wearing a veil, so her expression wasn’t visible. She just exhaled softly. “Judging by his voice, he’s the major general of the Canglong Army.”

“You’ve seen him before,” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Qin Yutong nodded softly. “I once danced in the Lingxiao Heavenly Mansion and saw him,” she murmured. “I remember his voice. Lord, how did you sense beforehand that he was coming?”

Zhang Ruochen put his arms behind his back and flew to the top of a taller building. Looking down at the lights of the city below, he said, “A Saint’s cultivation is very strong, but they’re too strong to easily conceal themselves.”

“For example, Empress Chi Yao’s cultivation is number one in the world. This is why news spread immediately as soon as she’d left the Central Emperor City. She can’t leave soundlessly like a regular Monk.”

“Saints are the same. However, a Saint can’t be compared to the Empress. Their moves can’t cause as powerful ripples as her. They can also conceal their auras to a point. Only Monks stronger than them in Spiritual Power can sense their actions.”

Qin Yutong was very intelligent and quickly understood what he was saying. “The Canglong Army’s major general isn’t as strong in Spiritual Power as you. That’s why you can sense his every movement.”

“I can sense his actions within 100 miles,” Zhang Ruochen said. “Past that, my spiritual perception will weaken and I’ll only know his general direction. If I didn’t have the advantage of Spiritual Power, I wouldn’t dare to kill so much in the Sacred City.”

Zhang Ruochen’s Spiritual Power was at the 48th level. He’d surpassed most Saints. Only Heavenly King Lingxiao could suppress his aura and successfully execute a sneak attack on Zhang Ruochen.

Otherwise, Zhang Ruochen would sense danger if a Saint was 100 miles away and immediately hide or escape.

Of course, with Heavenly King Lingxiao’s status, he wouldn’t go attack a Half-Saint junior no matter what.

Zhang Ruochen was the most worried about meeting a Spiritual Saint. They were very rare—less than one-tenth of the number of Martial Saints.

Plus, most Spiritual Saints belonged to the Inscription Guild and Confucius Way. They were true masters or Confucius Saints. They cared about their reputations and wouldn’t go attack a junior in the Half-Saint Realm.

This was why it wasn’t very possible for the Lingxiao Heavenly Mansion to ask a Spiritual Saint for help. Plus, they didn’t know who Zhang Ruochen’s next target was. Even if they could request a Spiritual Saint to help, it wasn’t likely for them to capture Zhang Ruochen.

Hearing Zhang Ruochen’s explanation, Qin Yutong finally understood and smiled gracefully. “With your tactics, the top ten generals of the Canglong Army won’t be able to live for long.”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “It’s not that simple. The Lingxiao Heavenly Mansion may very well ask someone from the Half-Saint Rank or Outer Rank to fight me. Plus, the three strongest generals of the Canglong Army all have terrible abilities. They aren’t easy to deal with.”

Compared to a Spiritual Saint, it was obviously easier to request help from someone from the Half-Saint Rank or Outer Rank. The Lingxiao Heavenly Mansion may very possibly choose that. Perhaps they’d already contacted one of those strong cultivators.

“What should we do next?” Qin Yutong asked.

Cold light flashed past Zhang Ruochen’s eyes. “I’ll go kill Qingyi Chan now, but I need your help.”

Then Zhang Ruochen took out the Thousand-pattern Saint Weapon Life-Death Mirror. Handing it to Qin Yutong, he said, “Qingyi Chan will definitely be prepared. The Canglong Army and Lingxiao Heavenly Mansion probably set up some things too. I don’t know what dangers there’ll be. When needed, activate the Life-Death Mirror and Destruction of the Thousand Patterns to help me.”

Qin Yutong took the Life-Death Mirror and only spent an hour to learn how to use it with ease. Then they used physical techniques to disappear into the night.

The Canglong Army’s camp was outside the Sacred City. However, each region inside the city had a Provincial Military Governor Residence. Each residence had around 3,000 soldiers that were responsible for the region’s order.

In the past few days, all of the Canglong Army’s generals returned to the city to capture Han Ying and Yan Honglie’s killer.

Qingyi Chan was in the Provincial Military Governor Residence of City 24. Other than here, there were four high level Half-Saints at her side.

The residence was tightly guarded. They’d also activated a defensive formation. Even a top Saint would find it difficult to break in.

Qingyi Chan was a woman in her thirties. She wore cold metal armor and wasn’t very ugly. It was obvious that she was very beautiful when she was young. However, she didn’t really care about her looks and didn’t pay attention to that. Thus, her skin was very rough and a bit sallow.

“I wonder who has such deep hatred for Zhang Ruochen to say that he’s the Crown Prince from 800 years ago. Such nonsense.”

Qingyi Chan scoffed coldly. She didn’t believe the rumors at all.”

Beside her, a high level Half-Saint said, “The Ministry of War has already investigated Zhang Ruochen and knows everything about him.”

Just then, footsteps sounded. A soldier ran over and lowered himself onto a knee before Qingyi Chan. “General, the major general sent two messengers with news that General Liao has fallen. He reminds you to be careful. He may come to assassinate you tonight.”

“The major general already sent a message earlier. Why did he send two messengers now…Oh, no.”

Qingyi Chan’s eyes narrowed. Cold light shot out of her and she immediately reached out. With the speed of lightning, she formed two hand prints and struck the kneeling soldier.
