715 Fists as Heavy as Mountains and a Belt of Steel (2/2)

The eyes of the Nation Master which were barely hidden by the hood landed on him.

Their gazes met.

Large waves appeared in Ning Que's sense of perception.

He only knew then, that the old man was a terrifying Psyche Master.

Ning Que had meditated since he was a child, so his Psyche Power was strong. This was very rare in itself. Since his journey to the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine, he had gained Master Lotus' consciousness in his sense of perception. As such, he did not fear this battle of Psyche Power at all.

Ning Que had never lost a battle of Psyche Power before.

Whether it was Dao Shi standing in the steam coming from the Chang'an bun stall or Bao Shu on the mountain path, or Qi Nian from the Lanke Temple. These Buddhist Sect powerhouses who were known for their Psyche Power could not defeat him.

He did not believe that a Psyche Master from the Tribe of Savages on the Wilderness could defeat him on this point.

Ning Que did not hesitate to use his Psyche Power, turning it into a hail of rocks and tossing them madly with his sense of perception.

Two extremely powerful spiritual forces that could not be seen by the naked eye met in the air above the grassland.

Ning Que hummed lightly and then fell from the air heavily, blood trickling from his mouth and nose.

The Nation Master shook slightly and then recovered.

Ning Que looked up and stared at the seemingly ordinary old man with an expression of horror in his eyes.

There was someone in the world who could seriously injure him just through spiritual strength!

The other party could even suppress the fragments of consciousness that were Lotus' in his sense of perception!

Ning Que had lost in the spiritual battle and was gravely injured. However, his Psyche Power was still very powerful. Adding on the help given by Lotus' consciousness in his sense of perception, the Golden Nation Master was also dealt with a heavy blow.

The Empress was most aware of this feeling. The spiritual power that had reverberated in her sense of perception suddenly disappeared without a trace.

She no longer felt weak and her heavy footsteps became light again. She raised her eyebrows slightly, calling up the power in her body. Then, she swept forward, pulling out her belt and whipped it in front of her.

Power had been infused into the soft belt and it immediately became stiff. It flew into the air and lengthened until it pierced into a high priest in another carriage!

The palace warriors on the carriage yelled out loud, blocking the belt with a large shield.

Seeing that the belt was about to hit the shield, the Empress twitched her fingers and the belt softened once more. It bent like a willow stick, bypassed the edge of the shield, and tapped the throat of the high priest lightly.

The high priest wrapped his hand around his bleeding throat and fell back.

Three high priests had already died. Things gradually returned to normal on the grassland before Helan City. The cavalry of the Golden Palace was in a mess as they watched the Tang cavalry who had mobilized through the mud.

There was a low growl followed by a sharp whistle. The Golden cavalry quickly regrouped and stopped fighting against Ning Que and the Empress. They covered the last carriage and entered deep into the Wilderness.

The Golden Palace Nation Master looked at Ning Que and the Empress and said a few words before leaving.

Ning Que and the Queen were both very mindful of the old man's terrifying state, so they did not give chase.

The Tang Empire cavalry roared past the two, chasing after the retreating Golden Palace cavalry. It was not a good time for them to give chase, but they had to ensure that they would gain a safe area outside of Helan City once more.

”What did he say before he left?”

The Queen asked. She had seen Ning Que's information for many times and knew that he was proficient in many languages of the Wilderness.

After a moment of silence, Ning Que said, ”The old man said that the grassland was a place where everything lived and died. The Palace priests are not afraid of anything but those who cultivated in the Devil. He had gone into seclusion for many years and heard that the Devil's Doctrine had died off. He had not expected to see two Devil's Doctrine powerhouses in Helan City today.”

They were naturally the two Devil's Doctrine powerhouses that the old man was referring to.

The Queen and Ning Que looked at each other.

Could they both be pursuing the same goal?
