Lord of Stone wore the Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light he had gotten from Zhang Ruochen. He burst out at 5,000 times the speed of sound and traveled more than 800 miles in an instant. He stabbed out with the Azure Terra sacred spear, aiming for Thandeeâs back.
Thandee struck out with his lance, colliding with the Azure Terra sacred spear.
BOOM!
Large sparks spread out from the spears.
Energy ripples spread out in all directions.
Lord of Stoneâs true body was the AzureTerra Stone that even gods couldnât break. The reason why he was able to gain sentience was that he had fused with the spiritual wills of the six fallen gods, he had been nurtured in the Dragon Temple ruins for close to a Yuanhui period.
It could be said that he wasnât much weaker than Lan Ying, a Divine Fetus.
Six Divine Marks appeared on Lord of Stoneâs body, releasing six different streams of divine power. They turned into six divine rivers that were dozens of kilometers long, rushing toward Thandee.
âWho are you? Why are there six divine spirits gathering on your body? No, the six divine spirits seem to be supporting you as well,â said Thandee.
Thandeeâs expression changed drastically. He found it hard to understand. How could he meet such a terrifying Supreme Saint on Hoth?
How big was the background of a person gathering the power of six gods?
âWithdraw!â Thandee shouted.
Thandee quickly gathered his Precept Domain. It originally covered a thousand miles, but now, it has shrunk by a thousand times.
The range of coverage was reduced, but the power of the Precept Domain was even stronger.
All the Precepts condensed into a saint army in the form of Rakshasas. It was like a battle formation formed by thousands of soldiers and horses clashing with the six divine rivers. Thandee could not withstand the divine power of the Divine River. He moved back and kept retreating.
âIf I had not completely fused the spiritual wills of the six gods, I would have been able to pierce through you with that spear just now,â said Lord of Stone. His eyes were as wide as fireballs, and the power in his body exploded.
Whoosh
A sword light descended from the sky like a pillar of light.
Thandee felt the threat of death coming from the sky. He bent his legs and shifted his center of gravity downward, stabbing out with the Aurea Wing Lance.
The lance shone brightly and collided with the Saint Sword formed by Lord of Swordâs body.
Rumble
With Thandee, Lord of Sword, and Lord of Stone at the center, a chaotic energy storm spread out and swept up the mud and rocks underground. It was unknown how vast the area would be.
Zhang Ruochen certainly did not want the ripples of the battle here to be known by the outside world. So, he struck the ground with the wooden staff in his hand.
The dark and evil Qi in the wooden staff spread out and covered a radius of 1,000 miles, turning it into an extremely dark world.
At this moment, he was like an evil Master of Darkness.
Lord of Sword was the will of a sword left behind by a powerful sword god in the Middle Ages. It gathered all kinds of vital qi and condensed into a form in the ruins of the Dragon Temple.
The will of a sword could directly cut the Saint Soul of a cultivator.
Thandee was suppressed by Lord of Sword and Lord of Stone. He could not move his body. At this moment, Lord Xia Yu held the Pleiades Lotus and attracted the power of the array. He turned into a pillar of ghost qi and hit him heavily.
Crack
Thandeeâs crown exploded and his sacred robe was torn. He threw his head back and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Saint Sword that Lord of Sword had turned into shattered the Aurea Wing Lance. The lance turned into broken iron and pieces of it flew out one by one.
The tip of the sword stabbed into Thandeeâs chest and Saint Blood gushed out like a fountain.
This sword not only injured Thandeeâs Neverwither physique but also his Saint Soul. The brilliance in his eyes dissipated a lot.
Whoosh
The Saint Sword flew out and transformed into Lord of Swordâs body. It landed on the side.
Lord of Stoneâs Azure Terra sacred spear struck. It pierced through Thandeeâs chest to his heart and nailed him to the ground.
Lord Xia Yu rushed over quickly. She mobilized the power of the array and wrapped Thandeeâs body layer by layer. This was to prevent him from self-detonating his Sainthood Source.
âIt doesnât have to be so troublesome. He doesnât dare to self-detonate his Sainthood Source,â said Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen walked over, he said again, âA Supreme Saint at the pinnacle of the Thousand-Koan Realm should have a strong spiritual will, but he canât withstand the fear of nightmares. His greed for beautiful dreams has long become weak, humble, and cowardly. Heâs a loser whose Saint Soul has been corroded!â
Thandee was both angry and shocked. He shouted, âWho are you people?â
The other party knew about nightmares and beautiful dreams, which terrified him.
Lord Xia Yu snorted. âDidnât you sense the powerful spatial fluctuation just now?â
âSpatial fluctuation⊠Are you Zhang Ruochen?â
Thandeeâs eyes widened, and his face became extremely pale.
Zhang Ruochen changed into his original appearance. He crouched down and whispered, âTell me, is Bai Qingâer here on Hoth?â
âHumph! Do you really think my spiritual will is weak? Donât even think about asking me anything,â said Thandee.
Thandeeâs expression was almost crazy. He laughed loudly. He circulated the evil murderous Qi in his body and surged toward the Sainthood Source.
Zhang Ruochen hit his forehead with a finger and shattered his thoughts of self-detonating the Sainthood Source. He said, âYou want to self-detonate in front of me?â
Lord Xia Yu said, âJust take his memory!â
Zhang Ruochen shook his head lightly, âThe Paarth Family is an ancient family that can contend with the Xue Jue family,â he said. âAs the Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint in the family, he must have divine power to protect his memory. Although this is Hoth, and it is difficult for gods to come here directly, when my power comes into contact with divine power, the Paarth Family gods will definitely be able to see through my identity.â
âThen what should we do?â Lord Xia Yu asked.
Zhang Ruochen said, âDonât worry! How can a Supreme Saint whose spiritual will has long been defeated keep a secret?â
Zhang Ruochen threw Thandee into the Qiankun Realm and had Zhou Zhen and Shentu Yunkong interrogate him.
Zhang Ruochen asked Lord Xia Yu to clean up the traces on the battlefield. Then he fell into deep thought.
It was indeed beyond Zhang Ruochenâs expectation that Thandee would rather self-detonate his Sainthood Source to keep a secret. However, it also showed how powerful Bai Qingâer was. Thandee must have known that the consequences of betraying Bai Qingâer were worse than death. That was why he made such a choice.
âShe came to Hoth to capture Lord Xia Yu, obviously to deal with me. Bai Qingâer clearly knows the consequences of becoming my enemy, yet she still chose to attack. Then, thereâs only one possibility. She must have guessed that Seven-Armed Elder is with me. Her goal is the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin.â Zhang Ruochen thought.
Zhang Ruochen understood even more deeply that he must not let anyone know the secret of his arrival on Hoth. He must not let Madam Nixuan and Bai Qingâer know that he came to Hoth to find Mu Lingxi.
Thandeeâs interrogation was quickly concluded.
However, it was not Zhou Zhen and Shentu Yunkong who attacked, but Seven-Armed Elder.
âBai Qingâer came to Hoth, and she seems to have guessed that you sent Lord Xia Yu to Hoth for another reason. This woman is very shrewd. Her spiritual power and Path cultivation have reached the pinnacle. You must be careful from now on.â Seven-Armed Elderâs voice reached Zhang Ruochenâs ears.
Of course, the old man didnât care about Zhang Ruochenâs safety.
It was because he was wanted by the Fane of Destiny and hunted by Bai Qingâer. He had to hide in the Qiankun Realm. If Zhang Ruochen fell into Bai Qingâerâs hands, he would be finished.
The old man transmitted his voice again. âBai Qingâer probably guessed that you would come to Hoth. Thatâs why she brought a group of powerhouses here.â
âYou seem to know a lot about Bai Qingâer?â Zhang Ruochen asked.
Seven-Armed Elder snorted. âIâve never lost a bet. How can it be a coincidence that I fell into her hands?
âBesides, my spiritual power has reached the 69th level. Iâm just a step away from becoming a god.â. âBut I canât do anything to her with spiritual power attacks. Think about it, how strong is her spiritual energy?
âThandee, Cang Baizi, and the others are all powerful figures in the Supreme Saint Realm, but theyâve all become her subordinates. Donât you think itâs scary to think about it?
âYouâve been very careful on Hoth, but she still managed to see through you. If it werenât for your luck that you were on the same Blood Sprite as her, Lord Xia Yu would have already fallen into her hands. Can you bear the consequences? Boy, youâd better not take Bai Qingâer lightly. Otherwise, you wonât even know how you died.â
As soon as Seven-Armed Elder finished speaking, Zhang Ruochen realized something. He immediately sent a voice transmission to Lord Xia Yu, Lord of Sword, and Lord of Stone. He said, âLetâs go. We should leave this place immediately.â
Not long after Zhang Ruochen and the others left, a streak of black light flew down from the clouds. It condensed into a tall and thin cultivator in black gauze on the ground.
The black gauze covering her body fell away, revealing a cold and perfect face. Her skin was as white as jade, and her eyes were as lovely as a young girlâs and as deep as a godâs.
It was a pair of Divine Eyes of Origin.
Inch by inch, she searched for traces on the ground.
Swoosh
The sound of wind breaking could be heard continuously.
Lord Ironclad, Lord Huanxu, and the governor of Ji Feng City flew over one after another and landed on the broken ground.
âThere are traces of Thandeeâs presence. Where did he go?â Lord Ironclad asked.
Lord Huanxu immediately released his spiritual power to investigate further.
Bai Qingâer said, âThereâs no need to look for him. Thandee has already fallen into the hands of the enemy.â
âThe enemy? Lord Xia Yu? Lord Xia Yu is only at the Great Perfection stage of the Hundred-Shackle Realm. How can she be a match for Thandee?â Lord Huanxu said.
Bai Qingâer said, âThe traces here have been cleaned. The enemy is trying to cover something up. Unfortunately, the more they cover it up, the more it proves that my guess is correct.â
âMiss, are you saying that Zhang Ruochen really came to Hoth?â said the governor of Ji Feng City as he was slightly surprised.
Bai Qingâer said, âWho else but Zhang Ruochen could help Lord Xia Yu deal with Thandee and not let others know that he came to Hoth? Xue Qingsheng? He was not interested. He had been staying by the side of a junior like Lord Xia Yu.â
âSince Lord Xia Yu has escaped, it will be extremely difficult to find her again. What should we do next?â asked Lord Huan Xu.
Bai Qingâer said, âLord Yue Lin, go to Madam Nixuan and inform her that Zhang Ruochen has arrived on Hoth secretly.â
âBut we canât be sure that the cultivator who attacked Thandee is Zhang Ruochen,â the governor of Ji Feng City said with some difficulty.
Bai Qingâer said, âIsnât that better? We can use Madam Nixuanâs influence in the Xue Jue Family to help us find out if Zhang Ruochen is still cultivating in seclusion in his familyâs Dominion.â
âOkay, I understand!â said Lord Yue Lin.
After Lord Yue Lin left, Bai Qingâer picked up a handful of bloody soil from the ground. She closed her eyes and released her powerful spiritual power.
The blood in the soil belonged to Thandee.
A moment later, Bai Qingâer opened her eyes, âIf we canât find anything, then Thandee is dead! Lord Ironclad, send someone to deliver this bloody soil back to the Paarth Family and tell them that Madam Nixuan killed Thandee on Hoth.â
Lord Ironclad took out a box and put the soil in Bai Qingâerâs hand. He asked curiously, âWhy donât you tell the Paarth Family that Zhang Ruochen killed Thandee and use him as a pretext?â
Bai Qingâer said, âDo the Paarth Family dare to kill Zhang Ruochen without absolute evidence? Donât forget the influence of the Emperor of Devala. As an ancient family in Devala, the Paarth Family is afraid of him.â
She added, âWe do want to deal with Zhang Ruochen, but it can be the Adjudication Division or Madam Nixuan who killed him. But it canât be us.â
Lord Ironclad looked enlightened, He said, âYou mean to add fire to Zhang Ruochen and Madam Nixuan and let them fight,â he said. âIn the future, when Zhang Ruochen dies on Hoth, everyone will think that it was Madam Nixuan who killed him. They wonât suspect us. The cultivators of the Xue Jue family would have to deliver the bloody soil. Madam Nixuan had to know that Zhang Ruochen was deliberately trying to frame her. Zhang Ruochen made the first move. How could she just be sitting ducks?â
When he said this, Lord Ironclad had already turned into Zhang Ruochen.
Strands of black gauze gathered again, covering Bai Qingâerâs graceful and graceful body. She said in a beautiful and gentle voice, âYou do it! The rest of you, follow me to the House of Enchanteurs on Hoth. There may be another way to find Zhang Ruochen.â
After Bai Qingâer set Zhang Ruochen as her target, she checked the detailed information about Zhang Ruochen.
One of them caught her attention.
When he was in Kunlun, there was a powerful owl sacred beast beside Zhang Ruochen, who claimed to be the Emperor who slaughtered the Heavens and Earth.
There was also such an owl sacred beast on Hoth. It was also called the Emperor who slaughtered the Heavens and Earth. She had already sent cultivators from the House of Enchanteurs to investigate.
âŠ
Thandee was indeed dead. His Sainthood Source had been absorbed by Moyin. After the Supreme Saintâs blood was refined by Lord Xia Yu, it was put into a cup as if it was wine.
His Saint Soul was used to feed Zhang Ruochen the 18 Six-Tribulation Ghost Lords from the Sevenstar Imperial Palace.
The Infernal Court was such a cruel and bloody place.
The blood of the Supreme Saint in Lord Xia Yuâs cup was refined with 17 types of blood medicine. It wasnât bloody at all. Instead, it gave off a fragrant scent, which was irresistible to the Immortal Vampires.
She said, âI have some clues about the human woman you wanted me to investigate! A cultivator has seen her in a sacred mountain under the AvÄ«ci Pavilion.â
âThe AvÄ«ci Pavilion!â said Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen looked thoughtful and asked, âHow many cultivators know that you are investigating her?â
âDonât worry. I will send out a Spirit to attach to any cultivator I send out. The news will not be leaked,â Lord Xia Yu said.
Zhang Ruochen asked, âWhere is the sacred mountain?â
âMount Wutong in the Western District One. Let me remind you that the AvÄ«ci Pavilionâs influence on Hoth is greater than that of the Xue Jue family. Youâd better not go to Mount Wutong so easily. You must think twice before you act,â Lord Xia Yu said solemnly.
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, âYou did well on Hoth. Now, you can go back!â
Lord Xia Yuâs pretty face froze.
Zhang Ruochen continued, âRecently, Iâve offended a powerful figure. Sheâs ruthless and will stop at nothing. If you get too close to me, youâll definitely be targeted. I suggest you go to the Fane of Immortality and cultivate in seclusion for a while. Itâll help you avoid trouble and breakthrough to the Thousand-Koan Realm as soon as possible.â
âPutting away the weapons after it was used,â said Lord Xia Yu.
The cup in Lord Xia Yuâs hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
âIf you want to chase me away, just say it. Why do you need to find so many reasons? Zhang Ruochen, do you really think that I am willing to work for you? Do you know how many rumors and slanders about me are spread behind my back? I donât want my reputation. Do the people of the Xia clan not want their faces? Forget it. I will go to the Fane of Immortality. Anyway, if I stay here, I will only get in the way. I will also let your little lover of Kunlun misunderstand me.â
Lord Xia Yu didnât even turn around. Spreading her silver wings, she flew off angrily.
âWomen are so overthinking,â said Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head. Staring at Moyin, he said, âGo to the Royal City of Hundred Clans. If Ji Fanxin arrives, send me the news as soon as possible.â
Moyin stood up and stretched. Her curves were seductive. Her breasts, buttocks, and waist were stunningly full, she teased, âLord Xia Yu is right. We are too beautiful. If we stay by your side, it will cause misunderstanding. Master, I wonât trouble you. Hehe.â
After Moyin left, Zhang Ruochen went on his own toward Mount Wutong.
