Princess Luosha stroked her chin with her fingers and said, “I won’t blame you two. It’s indeed very difficult to deal with those two. I can’t even guarantee being able to kill them.”
Qian Yu then stood back up.
Princess Luosha said, “There’re already some conflicts between Zhang Ruochen and Eight Ministry Field. We need to make the conflicts worse. As long as Zhang Ruochen and Eight Ministry Field become complete enemies, Zhang Ruochen’s plan will fail automatically.
“Then Eighty Ministry Field, Purple Mansion Field, and Hell Blade Field will be on the same side.
“While Great Devil Ten Square Field, Guanghan Field, Kunlun’s Field, and Tianmu Field will be on the same team.
“It’ll be fun to watch when they start to fight against each other.”
Qian Yu asked, “What kind of plans do you have in mind, your highness?”
Princess Luosha flew down from the ancient sycamore tree beside Qian Yu and said, “The saints from Hell Blade Field should all know that Yuan Hun went to negotiate with Zhang Ruochen. If Yuan Hun gets killed, they’ll all think it’s Zhang Ruochen who did it.
“Go tell Yang Qi and Lord Lingquan to stop Yuan Hun. Make sure they kill him before he gets back to Hell Blade Field.”
“Okay, I’ll go tell them now.”
Just as Qian Yu turned around and prepared to leave, Princess Luosha said, “Wait a second.”
Qian Yu asked, “Anything else I can help you with, your highness?”
Princess Luosha said, “Hit me with all your strength.”
Qian Yu was slightly dazed. She didn’t know why Princess Luosha asked her to do so, although she sensed that there must be a good reason.
She asked, “With full strength, really?”
“Yes,” Princess Luosha said.
Qian Yu stopped hesitating, mobilizing the evil sha Qi inside her body. Her skin turned red as if it was an iron coal. She then hit Princess Luosha on her back.
Boom!
Princess Luosha bounced away, breaking the trunks of thirteen ancient sycamore trees, injuring herself worse.
Mu Lingxi was more wounded than Princess Luosha, and after burning her saint blood to fight, she lost most of her blood Qi, which put her life in danger.
Fortunately, Zhang Ruochen collected some water from the Spring of Life under Sky-connecting Divine Tree and had been keeping it in a bottle, and it could finally be put to good use.
Mu Lingxi’s life force was gradually stabilized after drinking the water from the Spring of Life, but she still hadn’t woken up.
Zhang Ruochen then took out a spring pill, but after a second thought, he reckoned Mu Lingxi wasn’t strong enough to handle the power of the spring pill.
He then put the spring pill in the water from the Spring of Life to dilute it before giving it to Mu Lingxi.
Zhang Ruochen pressed one of his hands against Mu Lingxi’s back, infusing saint Qi into her Tianxin Meridian, helping her refine and absorb the pill Qi from the spring pill.
Qiu Yu didn’t hold back at all when he attacked Mu Lingxi, which made her inner injuries way worse than her outer ones.
Zhang Ruochen looked solemn but pitiful when he was treating Mu Lingxi.
Zhang Ruochen let Mu Lingxi sip the Spring of Life every fifteen minutes, and after an hour and a half, Mu Lingxi’s outer injuries were almost healed completely.
Cough Cough!
Mu Lingxi woke up, opening her eyes, only after which Zhang Ruochen became relieved and smiled.
The world looked very hazy when Mu Lingxi first opened her eyes, and gradually, it became clearer and clearer, until she saw Zhang Ruochen’s face distinctly. She said with her feeble voice, “Are…are we still alive?”
“Or what? Do you think we’re both in hell now?” Zhang Ruochen smiled.
Mu Lingxi tried to stand up, but she felt an excruciating pain as she moved her body, which made her shiver.
However, she didn’t look like she was suffering at all. Instead, she was exhilarated.
Being able to feel pain meant she was still alive.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Don’t move. You haven’t fully recovered yet.”
“I’m a saint, not a weak girl.” Mu Lingxi rolled her eyes at Zhang Ruochen and slowly stood up with Zhang Ruochen’s support.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “When did you become so stubborn?”
“I’m being stubborn because I’m not strong enough. I must catch up with you, then I can help you like today when you’re in danger in the future. Otherwise, I’ll be useless when your life’s at risk, which is the real painful thing,” Mu Lingxi said.
Zhang Ruochen stared at her.
Mu Lingxi said, confused, “Why’re you gazing at me?”
“Um… Nothing… I wish there was someone who could always protect me. Then I wouldn’t need to refine or battle anyways. Life would be much easier that way,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Mu Lingxi snorted, “In your dreams.”
Princess White Li walked to Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi, dragging the corpse of the Bone Phoenix. “My lord, I’ve found something precious in the corpse.”
“Really?”
Zhang Ruochen walked Mu Lingxi to a blue stone and told her to treat her wounds while sitting there.
The spine of the Bone Phoenix was more than twelve hundred feet long. One of the bones had been pierced through by a spike, and blue liquids flowed out.
The liquids solidified the second they touched the air.
“That is…”
Zhang Ruochen felt an icy coldness from the blue crystal. There seemed to be dense saintly way power in the coldness, which resembled Ning True Saint Dew.
Princess White Li said, “Ice Phoenix Saint Marrow.”
Zhang Ruochen hadn’t read relevant books yet, so he didn’t know much about Ice Phoenix Saint Marrow.
Princess White Li said, “Ice Phoenix Saint Marrow and Ning True Saint Dew have the same effect. The difference is, it’s easier for saints to absorb Ice Phoenix Saint Marrow, especially for saints with ice body constitution. Their cultivation can be improved five times more quickly when they refine Ice Phoenix Saint Marrow rather than Ning True Saint Dew.
“The amount of Ice Phoenix Saint Marrow inside the spine of the Bone Phoenix can rival ten thousand drops of Ning True Saint Dew. It’s definitely a treasure.”
Zhang Ruochen seized a large amount of Ning True Saint Dew from other saints, which was more than enough to help him become an absolute saint.
And besides, he didn’t have ice body constitution, so Ice Phoenix Saint Marrow wouldn’t help him much.
Eventually, Zhang Ruochen looked to Mu Lingxi.
Ten thousand drops of Ice Phoenix Saint Marrow should be enough for Mu Lingxi to become an absolute saint.
Zhang Ruochen cut all the bones of Bone Phoenix using the Abyss Ancient Sword, leaving only the spine.
And then, he mobilized Divine Fire Jingmie to refine the Ice Phoenix Saint Marrow inside, turning it into drops of liquids which contained tremendous saintly way power.
After Zhang Ruochen finished refining all the Phoenix Saint Marrow, Mu Lingxi had completely recovered from her injuries. However, she was still feeble because she had burnt too much saint blood.
Zhang Ruochen gave her the Ice Phoenix Saint Marrow and asked her to get back to the space crystal.
Mu Lingxi knew that she was too weak to be of any help, so she went in without questioning it.
Mu Lingxi gave Qiu Yu a look before walking back into the space crystal and said, “Spare his life if you can. I do owe him a favor.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “He did help you once, yet he almost killed you. I’ll give him a choice.”
Mu Lingxi nodded and walked into the inner space of the space crystal.
“Where are Demonic Sound and Han Qiu? Did they run into some trouble?” Zhang Ruochen had a hunch that something bad might’ve happened.
And then, he heard the sounds of an argument coming from nearby.
Zhang Ruochen then looked to where the arguing sound came from. He saw Mad Man. He then walked toward him.
Mad Man was very upset and said, “Le, we’re brothers who’ve been through life and death together. Why are you pointing your sword at me?”
Le held his sword against Mad Man’s forehead in silence.
Meanwhile, Zhang Ruochen walked behind Le, holding the body of Zhentian Tiger and throwing the corpse to Mad Man.
Bang!
Zhentian Tiger had turned back to its original form, which was a giant tiger that was more than seventy feet long. However, its head was crushed.
“Zhentian Tiger!”
Mad Man was astounded. He raised his head and asked, “What happened?”
“Shouldn’t you know what happened?” It was Princess Luosha instead of Zhang Ruochen who said that.
Princess Luosha walked out of the ancient sycamore woods. Her face was pale, with some blood on her lips.
Before she could reach Zhang Ruochen, she spit out blood and almost fell.
Zhang Ruochen helped her stand up and pressed his fingers against her wrist, trying to inspect her injuries, but he didn’t find anything.
However, Princess Luosha was indeed severely injured.
Mad Man was confused. He asked, “What happened? Who can tell me what happened exactly?”
Princess Luosha knew that Zhang Ruochen was trying to test her, yet she still managed to stay calm. She leaned on Zhang Ruochen with her entire body and said, “What happened? What happened was Yuan Hun ambushed me and wounded me seriously. You people from Eight Ministry Field aren’t sincere at all about cooperating and are just trying to take the Merits Record Wall for yourself. What’re you doing here? Trying to seize the Merits Record Wall? Zhang Ruochen, kill him.”
