Mu Lingxi, Su Qingling, and Bu Ji saw Luosha Princess the second they gathered with Zhang Ruochen.
Luosha Princess had such a unique temperament that even girls couldn’t help looking at her.
Su Qingling looked at Luosha Princess for a while and smiled. “No wonder Zhang Ruochen just arrived. What should I call you, sister?”
“Spiritual Flame.”
Luosha Princess looked very calm. She released a hypnotizing power from her eyes.
The second Su Qingling saw her eyes, she felt like she lost her energy and balance as if someone had taken away her soul.
Zhang Ruochen knew how terrific Luosha Princess’s eyes were, so he immediately formed a fiery wall using Divine Fire Jingmie to ward off the weird power coming from her eyes.
Su Qingling regained consciousness, yet her legs were still kind of shaking. She couldn’t balance herself.
“What… What kind of evil techniques did you just use?”
Su Qingling’s face paled.
Luosha Princess sneered and didn’t even want to talk to Su Qingling. She walked to Zhang Ruochen’s side.
“How dare you hurt my sister Qingling.”
A deafening lion howl came out of Bu Ji’s body, and saint Qi gushed out, gathering in his fist. He then waved his fist against Luosha Princess.
Luosha Princess glanced at Nine-headed Blue Bird, and then, it spread its wings and dashed toward Bu Ji. It not only dissolved his fist force but also pressed Bu Ji down under its body and started to bite him.
“Where did you come from, weird bird? Stop pecking at my eyes. I’ll kill you!”
Nine-head Blue Bird became fiercer and fiercer while Bu Ji couldn’t even fight back.
“Stop.”
Zhang Ruochen finally refined all five golden arrows. He then shot them out, and they fell beside the Nine-headed Blue Bird and Bu Ji.
Both the Nine-headed Blue Bird and Bu Ji stopped fighting.
The Nine-headed Blue Bird looked to Luosha Princess, who nodded at it. Only after that did it retract its wings and let Bu Ji go.
Bu Ji looked very awkward. His hair was messy, and his saint blouse was torn. Even half his butt was revealed.
He was one of the most talented beings in Guanghan Field, yet he was crushed by a bird today.
Zhang Ruochen looked to Luosha Princess and said, “They’re my friends. If you want to better team up with me, you’d better stop with your weird skills.”
Luosha Princess didn’t seem to care about it. She said, “The weak aren’t qualified to be friends with the powerful.”
Both Su Qingling and Bu Ji were furious. They were ranked among the highest in the entire Guanghan Field, yet they were the weak ones to her?
Preposterous.
Mu Lingxi was very calm, on the contrary. She said, “Luosha race has sealed the entry to Phoenix Nest. I reckon there’s no need to fight them directly. The most important thing now is to collect merits.”
“Are you going to give up the inheritance of Ice and Fire Phoenix?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“Yes.”
Mu Lingxi nodded.
Zhang Ruochen went to touch Mu Lingxi’s hair a bit and said, “I know what you’re thinking. Phoenix Nest is indeed very dangerous, but I told you that I’d help you get the inheritance of Ice and Fire Phoenix.”
Zhang Ruochen gathered with Bu Ji and Su Qingling and said, “You guys have stayed around Phoenix Nest for a long time now. Can you tell me about the situation here?’
Su Qingling was obviously trying to take precautions against Luosha Princess. She then opened a layer of saint soul domain and asked, “Is she really the Spiritual Flame Demonic Concubine from Great Devil Ten Square Field?”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “I don’t know, but she’s extremely powerful. Definitely at heir level.”
Su Qingling stopped asking about Luosha Princess. “Phoenix Nest is situated at the left side of Whale River, and it’s surrounded by ninety-nine saint mountains. There were great dangers in each saint mountain. Some absolute saints trespassed on one of the thirty-three saint mountains at the border, and he was burned to the ground by the fire gushing from underground.
“And now, many Luosha marquises are guarding the thirty-three saint mountains at the periphery. Once a monk from Shatuo Seven Fields reaches a point that’s a thousand miles away, he or she will be killed instantly.”
Su Qingling drew the pictures of the thirty-three saint mountains.
Zhang Ruochen frowned and said, “Even the thirty-three saint mountains at the periphery are that hazardous?”
“That’s right. Luosha great beings seem to have broken part of the boundary of those thirty-three saint mountains,” Su Qingling said.
Zhang Ruochen said, “There’re thirty-three saint mountains at the periphery, which means there’re thirty-three roads to Phoenix Nest. No matter how powerful the Luosha race is, there’s no way they can guard all the roads.”
“That’s the crucial point.”
Su Qingling drew the positions and the terrain of those thirty-three mountains. And then, she pointed at the top of a saint mountain. “This is where the merits record wall is.”
“The merits record wall is at the top of one of the thirty-three saint mountains?” Zhang Ruochen frowned.
Su Qingling nodded and said, “This is where Saint Arrow Marquis is, and this is the road to the merits record wall. To the monks from Shatuo Seven Fields, the merits record wall is more valuable than the Phoenix Nest.”
“Which means Luosha race only seals one road to the merits record wall, and there’re thirty-two other choices?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Bu Ji shook his head and said, “All of them are extremely dangerous. It’s not an easy task to get in.”
Zhang Ruochen pinched his chin and said, “Wait for me here. I’ll go check the merits wall and the other thirty-two saint roads.”
Zhang Ruochen then released a space domain, performed spatial twist and disappeared.
After a short while, Zhang Ruochen pulled back his forces as he flew to a hundred thousand feet high.
He did see ninety-nine ancient saint mountains, and each of them was enormous and mysteriously spectacular.
There were saint mountains in the periphery, middle and the inner areas. Each layer had thirty-three mountains, and at the center of the ninety-nine mountains, light emanated that was half blue and half crimson. It looked like an enormous nest.
The ninety-nine saint mountains were connected with each other, and they also looked like a nest.
Zhang Ruochen looked to a saint mountain in the south in the end. That saint mountain was more than thirty thousand feet tall.
The Merits Record Wall was put at the top of that saint mountain, giving off gleaming light.
There’s a merits record wall in each of the four world fragments. If I can get one of them, then Guanghan Field will have a much higher chance of getting to first place on the Saints Merits Rank, Zhang Ruochen thought.
The best way to get to first place on the Saints Merits Rank was to get all the four merits record walls.
If he did so, Zhang Ruochen would definitely be encircled by the monks from the other six fields, which would render him helpless.
Zhang Ruochen looked in another direction and pointed while pondering the way to get in. “It seems I can also get to the merits record wall through here…”
Zhang Ruochen confirmed that it was possible to get to the Merits Record Wall through another saint mountain, but it was going to take a longer time, and nobody knew what kind of dangers they might run into.
Zhang Ruochen walked back and told everyone about it.
“Guys, I just heard from a saint from Guanghan Field that an army of Luosha marquises has destroyed the merits record wall in the west,” Su Qingling said.
Whoosh!
A signal flare fell into the hands of Bu Ji.
Bu Ji was also upset by the message on it. He said, “It’s a message from the north that an army of Luosha marquises has destroyed the merits record wall in the northern field.”
Zhang Ruochen couldn’t help clenching his fist.
Soon, Qing Mo also received a signal flare. She said, “Sister Danqing, I’ve got the news from the east that its merits record wall was also destroyed, and the Luosha marquises are heading in this direction.”
Su Qingling realized that something strange was going on. She whispered to herself, “The merits record wall of three world fragments have been destroyed by the Luosha race. Why did they do that? Where did all the Luosha marquises come from?”
Bu Ji said, “There’s no use collecting all the Luosha blood and fragmented souls without a merits record wall, as we can’t even trade them for merits. There’s only one merits record wall left. How great would it be if we could seize it for ourselves?”
Zhang Ruochen looked to the ninety-nine saint mountains and said, “Did those Luosha armies destroy the three merits record walls on purpose to force all the saints from the Shatuo Seven Fields to come here?”
Luosha Princess’s eyes glinted and she glanced at Zhang Ruochen with a weird expression.
Zhang Ruochen had a lot going on in his mind, so he didn’t notice the weird look on Luosha Princess’s face. He closed his eyes, shook his head and said, “The most important thing now is to get the last merits record wall. I’ve found another way, and perhaps we can get to the saint mountain where the merits record wall is. Who wants to follow me there?”
