The nine-headed bird flew 14,000 miles continuously and entered the middle of Whale River Territory. The river here was broad and the water current was slow. Steep mountains rose up on either side of the river.

Not long ago, there had been a saint battle here. A portion of the mountains had melted from the saintly flames and became broken. The lava still hadn’t hardened completely.

The entire land was tattered and broken, like a wasteland. Luosha Princess sat cross-legged on the nine-headed bird. She took out a mask made from blue feathers and put it on her face. She covered her foxy and overly-beautiful face. Only her enticing eyes remained.

Zhang Ruochen glanced at her. He had suspicious eyes, but he didn’t ask.

With her attainments in Spiritual Power, not many cultivators could see her true appearance even without a mask.

“If we go further,” the Luosha Princess said, “we will be where the Phoenix Nest is. It will be filled with unknown dangers. Everyone should be more careful.”

The G.o.d of Zuling Field had personally buried the Ice and Fire Phoenix in the Phoenix Nest. A G.o.d could leave any random thing behind and destroy a Saint.

Otherwise, with the Luosha Princess’s abilities, she wouldn’t want to cooperate with Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen used his Spiritual Power to search in all directions. He sensed a strong fiery force being nurtured underground. It was slightly different from the rules elsewhere.

The Phoenix Nest may very well be nearby.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen looked down. There were two very strong beams of evil Qi in a red-yellow mountainous forest.

Whoos.h.!.+

A fierce windstorm rose up in one of the thousand-foot-tall mountains. Densely packed wind blades formed and swirled around it. They flew toward the nine-headed bird in the sky.

“How dare they attack us!”

Luosha Princess’s eyes darkened and she huffed lightly.

Flames appeared in the nine-headed bird’s eyes at the same time. It flapped its wings, producing an even stronger windstorm. It flooded out. Even the mountain shook as if it would collapse soon.

The nine-headed bird wasn’t weak. It was even stronger than the typical second marquis.

In the red mountain below, two female third marquises stood behind a dozen-foot-tall boulder. The windstorm was a wind saint spell that they’d cast with their Spiritual Power.

Seeing the nine-headed bird destroy the wind saint spell, they immediately spread their wings and flew into the distance to escape.

“You want to leave?”

Zhang Ruochen pulled out the Clear Sky Bow and s.h.i.+ning Sun Arrow. He pulled back on the bow. Instantly, a gust of wind and thunder condensed around him.

Boom.

The s.h.i.+ning Sun Arrow transformed into a streak of white light. It flew toward one of the female third marquises.

Just as the female Luosha was about to get killed, a golden saint arrow flew from the other direction. It crashed against the s.h.i.+ning Sun Arrow, producing an ear-splitting boom.

The golden arrow and the s.h.i.+ning Sun Arrow both went off course. They hit the ground, leaving two bottomless ditches. Soil and rock flew everywhere.

“An expert in the Arrow Way.”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed. He extended a hand and grabbed the air, calling the s.h.i.+ning Sun Arrow back.

Whoos.h.!.+

The golden saint arrow also flew out of the ground and back into the hand of a Luosha marquis.

That marquis wore golden armor. He was around 3.5 meters tall, had broad shoulders, and a long horse-like face. He grasped a golden dragon-bone bow that was close to three meters long. Other than the arrow in his hand, he had nine other arrows on his back.

“Greetings, Saint Arrow Marquis.”

The two third marquises bowed down to the man with the golden dragon-bone bow.

Saint Arrow Marquis nodded softly. Then he looked at Zhang Ruochen, Luosha Princess, and Qing Mo on the nine-headed bird. “The Phoenix Nest belongs to the Luosha,” he said arrogantly. “Anyone who dares to approach will be killed.”

Then he shot an arrow again. An explosive boom sounded on the ground.

Boom.

A golden arrow flew 600 miles out like a golden streak. It pierced a Saint who’d wanted to sneak in.

The Saint’s body exploded into a b.l.o.o.d.y cloud.

It was clear that other than Zhang Ruochen’s group, there were other Saints hiding in the shadows too. They all wanted to take over the Phoenix Nest and Merits Records Wall.

Saint Arrow Marquis kept firing his bow. In an instant, he killed seven Saints who’d gotten within 1,000 miles. Then the cultivators that tried to approach the Phoenix Nest all retreated to more than 1,000 miles away.

The Luosha Princess stood up and said to Zhang Ruochen, “The Saint Arrow Marquis is one of the top first marquises. He studies the Arrow Way, so he can be called the Saint Arrow. His golden dragon bone bow and ten destructive arrows are all unusual saint weapons. They have the mysterious power to kill Saints.”
