Martial Saint Canglan’s attention fell upon Zhang Ruochen but realized she couldn’t see through him. The man didn’t feel any pressure when standing before her. He still seemed very composed.
Martial Saint Canglan was the first of the Nine Heavenly Maidens, but she was being overlooked like this. This had never happened before.
She really wanted to know his ident.i.ty. “Sir, may I know your name?”
Zhang Ruochen stood with his hands behind his back and continued staring down the mountain. “What use is there in asking? Hurry and try healing. Any bit of cultivation you can recover counts.”
Shock flashed past Martial Saint Canglan’s eyes. Such intense eyes, she thought. He can actually see that I’m heavily injured and just forcing myself forward now. This man definitely isn’t an average man.
Saintess Liuli and Yuansu didn’t know that Martial Saint Canglan was heavily injured, so they told her what they’d experienced with Zhang Ruochen.
The guardedness in her eyes finally lowered. She smiled faintly and said, “Thank you for saving Liuli and Yuansu. May I know which sect you are from? When I return to the Central Emperor City, I’ll definitely report to the imperial court to write down your merits.”
It was clear that Martial Saint Canglan still felt that Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo were unfamiliar and not trustworthy. She wanted to find out their ident.i.ties.
From that, it was evident that Martial Saint Canglan was much wiser than Saintess Liuli and Yuansu. She definitely challenged herself outside and knew how dangerous people could be.
Zhang Ruochen still didn’t reply. He just uttered, “Coming!”
Kaboom!
The heavy blood fog approached from the distance and appeared around the temple, surrounding it. Next, a dozen Blood Saints walked out of the fog. Each one had a domineering aura, like a demon G.o.d. Even a Half-Saint would probably prostrate themselves in terror from their saintly might.
Blood Saint Miefeng, the Heaven Pa.s.s Blood General of the Motian Tribe, brandished a brilliant silver sword. He laughed loudly. “Martial Saint Canglan, if you’re willing to submit to me and become my mistress, I won’t treat you poorly.”
The other Blood Saints knew that Blood Saint Miefeng was purposely trying to anger Martial Saint Canglan. They all laughed along. “If you grow tired of her, you must let us taste one of the Nine Heavenly Maidens too, haha.”
“If that day really comes, I’d be willing even if I have to lose ten years of my life.”
Hearing these dirty words, Saintess Liuli and Yuansu gritted their teeth in anger. They just wanted to rush out of the temple and knock their teeth out.
Martial Saint Canglan’s eyes shone with cold light. The saint sword in her hands clanged sharply. She glanced at Zhang Ruochen. “Sir, help me in killing those Immortal Vampire Saints.”
“I’m sorry. I’m badly hurt. I’m afraid I can’t help you.” Zhang Ruochen coughed lightly, seemingly weak. He smiled apologetically.
Martial Saint Canglan’s slender brows furrowed. She was a bit upset. It seemed like this man was pretending to be weak, while he actually just didn’t want to help. He seemed to be hiding something.
“The Immortal Vampires steal, kill, and burn in the northern region,” she said loud and clear. “They commit every sin. No one knows how many humans have died! Many humans are even being raised like pigs now! Any human cultivator should work together when faced with Immortal Vampires and overturn them.”
Saintess Liuli and Yuansu both looked at Zhang Ruochen with antic.i.p.ation. If this man with strong Spiritual Power was willing to ally with the Martial Saint, they might be able to cut the Immortal Saints down.
The entire time, Zhang Ruochen just listened quietly. He didn’t refute or react to her.
Qing Mo stepped out. “My lord is indeed heavily injured. It’s already very difficult for him to stand before you all. He really can’t help you.”
Martial Saint Canglan shook her head in disappointment. “Since you’ve made your choice, I won’t keep giving you a hard time.”
With that, Martial Saint Canglan and the two Saintesses walked out of the temple to fight with the Immortal Vampires.
“I’ve set up a formation outside the temple,” Zhang Ruochen said. “They can’t come in. Even if you want to die, do it after you recover. The stronger you are, the more Immortal Vampires you can bring down with you.”
Martial Saint Canglan stopped and thought carefully about Zhang Ruochen’s words.
The maze outside the temple was indeed powerful. It might really be able to stop the Immortal Saints. Martial Saint Canglan had a Spring Pill with her. If she had two hours, she could recover completely.
If she could really recover, she was quite confident in breaking through the siege.
In the end, Martial Saint Canglan and the two Saintesses took Spring Pills. They remained in the temple to heal.
Seeing that they couldn’t force Martial Saint Canglan out, the Immortal Vampire Saints all stared at Zhang Ruochen in frustration. They felt that this man was too nosy.
Where did he come from?
A Blood Saint with a sickle stepped out and reported to Blood Saint Miefeng, “Blood General, this is the man who killed Blood Saint Konglan and Zufeng, rescuing the two Saintesses.”
Blood Saint Miefeng huffed coldly. “He killed two Blood Saints and is protecting Martial Saint Canglan. Does he really think he’s some guardian angel?”
“More accurately, he’s killed five Blood Saints,” Zhu Qingyi said. “He caused a shocking b.l.o.o.d.y case in Serene Wind Mansion. He killed three Blood Saints, dozens of Half-Saints, and 30,000 elite soldiers. He’s on the Must-Kill List.”
