“With your abilities, going against a True Saint is no different than going to die.” Zhu Qingyi sat on the ground with a cold smirk on her face. “A True Saint is on a completely different level from a Heaven Pa.s.s Saint. Those who can reach this level are all old creatures who have cultivated for centuries. A Heaven Pa.s.s Blood Realm has to bow down before a True Saint.”

Boom

A beam of red light fell from the sky. It landed in the nearby ruins and consolidated into Martial Saint Canglan’s tall figure.

A gust of strong, aggressive and heavy power spread naturally. It made her seem like a towering divine mountain that people could only look up to.

“Zhang Ruochen,” she said. “How about we work together again?”

“How should we work together?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“Fight Situ Fengcheng together. You save the person while the Fengtian Sword goes to me.”

“Can you guard the Fengtian Sword?”

This question hit Martial Saint Canglan’s sore spot. Coldness appeared in her eyes and she huffed. “Last time, I was careless. It won’t happen again.”

Zhang Ruochen studied her for a moment. Nodding, he said, “Fine. I’ll trust you again. Let’s see if your performance in this battle qualifies you to be the guardian of the Fengtian Sword.”

Martial Saint Canglan ground her teeth in anger. With her current cultivation, no one except Zhang Ruochen dared to speak to her like this.

However, losing the Fengtian Sword was indeed a flaw in her path on the Saintly Way. It almost gave her a mental breakdown. She could only remove this flaw by personally taking the Fengtian Sword back.

Zhu Qingyi could see that Martial Saint Canglan had already entered the Heaven Pa.s.s Realm. With her combat ability due to the True Phoenix Body, she probably wasn’t any weaker than a True Saint.

“You’re not going to only face one True Saint. If you want to save the person and sword, it’ll be like an egg hitting a rock.” Zhu Qingyi didn’t have high hopes for them.

Her senior brother’s abilities were comparable to Martial Saint Canglan. Plus, he also had a Sword Saint blood slave. Zhang Ruochen and Martial Saint Canglan were far from enough.

Suddenly, Zhu Qingyi’s eyes narrowed. She vaguely heard armor and horse hooves clattering. It sounded like an army of thousands of soldiers. The presence was shocking.

When she looked in the direction of the sound, she didn’t see a huge army at all. Instead, she saw a huge figure in black armor come in the wind and sand. Various battle shadows kept appearing and disappearing behind him. The sounds of war were actually formed by his aura.

A strong cultivator. This was definitely a strong cultivator.

When Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen saw this man, their tensed expressions relaxed slightly. They both smiled and said in unison, “First Senior Brother.”

The newcomer was the first disciple of Sword Saint Xuanji, Qing Xiao.

“I heard that Seventh Junior Sister was in trouble, so I hurried over from Zhilin Pa.s.s. I feel rea.s.sured to see that you two are unharmed.” Qing Xiao studied Zhang Ruochen carefully and smiled. “Along the way, I heard that you actually killed Qi Zhenhuan. Shall we have a friendly fight when we have the chance?”

“We’ll definitely have the chance, but there’s something more important right now.” Then Zhang Ruochen told Qing Xiao about s.h.i.+ Ren.

Qing Xiao turned serious. “I also have bad news from the eastern region. The royal family of Qianshui Commandery was ma.s.sacred. Seventh Junior Sister’s parents, Qianshui Commandery Prince and Half-Saint Liuli are missing. They might’ve been captured by the Immortal Vampires.”

He didn’t hide it from Huang Yanchen because she would find out sooner or later.

“How…can this be?”

When Huang Yanchen heard this news, it felt like she’d been struck by lightning. She instantly paled and couldn’t even stand up straight anymore.

Zhang Ruochen hurriedly went to support her waist. He embraced her, feeling more guilt inside.

“This is most likely Situ Fengcheng’s doing,” Qing Xiao said. “I’ve fought him more than once, so I have some understanding of him. This man would do anything to defeat his enemies. He’s extremely frightening.”

Furious flames were about to spew from Zhang Ruochen’s eyes. “This battle will be his death date.”

“Situ Fengcheng dared to go around the defense and enter Red River Mansion. He’s extremely arrogant and indeed should be given heavy punishment. However, he’s very cautious. A Heavenly King of the Ministry of War once set traps all over the world but couldn’t kill him. I must invite a helper to defeat him.”

With that, Qing Xiao’s body flashed and disappeared from the spot. He sent a message to Zhang Ruochen that he would definitely arrive at the South Cliff of Xianji Mountain on time.

Qing Xiao’s appearance stopped Zhu Qingyi from feeling confident. This man was definitely able to counter Situ Fengcheng and terrify countless Blood Saints with his name.

Zhang Ruochen felt that Huang Yanchen’s body was a bit cold. Worried that she couldn’t take this. .h.i.t, he said caringly, “Hand this over to me. You go rest in the Universe World!”

Huang Yanchen shook her head firmly. A hateful and sharp look appeared in her eyes. “I’m not as fragile as you think. I must take part in this battle.”

The group set off, hurrying toward the South Cliff of Xianji Mountain. When the human cultivators observing in the distance saw Martial Saint Canglan and Qing Xiao appear one after the other, they realized that something big would happen. They also hurried toward Xianji Mountain.

South Cliff, Xianji Mountain

Situ Fengcheng stood on the top of the cliff towering in the clouds. His eyes shone brightly. He looked down at the sea of clouds and smiled. “They’re coming!”

“As expected of Zhang Ruochen. He is indeed courageous. He actually dared to come.” Ying Huo stood on layers of clouds. Her smile was very sinister.
