The Luosha Princess giggles and nods her pale chin. “Yes. As long as you work with the Great Devil Ten Square Field, the h.e.l.l Blade and Purple Mansion Field won’t be able to do anything.”

Chu Siyuan didn’t think Zhang Ruochen would answer like this. Furious, he said, “You… You were part of the Kunlun’s Field before. Did you forget your roots so quickly just for a demoness?”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t reply. He was very cold.

The Saint Lady’s pretty eyes were trained on Zhang Ruochen. She knew that Zhang Ruochen hadn’t changed, but he’d suffered too many restrictions, insults, lies, and misunderstandings in the Kunlun’s Field. This was why he hated it so much.

Deep inside, he might still want to help Kunlun’s Field.

Seeing how close Zhang Ruochen and the Luosha Princess were, Martial Saint Canglan was greatly annoyed. She turned and prepared to leave. “Whatever. Since he’s not willing to work with us, we’ll go right now. What use is there to speak more? Zhang Ruochen, the next time we meet will be a battle to the death.”

“Wait.”

The Saint Lady walked over and said to Zhang Ruochen, “How about we talk alone?”

“Sure,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Zhang Ruochen and the Saint Lady walked side by side. One wore armor while the other wore a white scholarly robe. One harsh and one soft, they walked among the red fallen leaves, forming a beautiful view.

The Saint Lady was gentle, scholarly, and elegant. She thought for a moment before saying, “The merits affect the survival of an entire world. If they’re really forced to desperation, the three weaker worlds—the Kunlun’s Field, h.e.l.l Blade Field, and Tianmu Field—will do everything to get the Merits Records Wall. By then, no matter how strong the Great Devil Ten Square Field is, they’ll suffer great losses.

“The Great Devil Ten Square Field is the strongest of the Shatuo Seven Fields. They don’t have to worry about being last at all. Even if they’re last in the Saints Merits Battle, they’ll still win the other three battlegrounds. This way, they won’t want to cooperate with the Guanghan Field if their losses are too much. By then, you and the Guanghan Field may end up alone.”

“I know,” Zhang Ruochen said.

The Saint Lady stopped walking. Her slender eyebrows raised as she stared at Zhang Ruochen’s chiseled face. “With the current situation, no world will dare to work with you unless you hand over the Merits Records Wall. Even the Saints of the Guanghan Field will be in danger of dying if they protect you.”

There was nothing that couldn’t be said before the Saint Lady. Zhang Ruochen’s expression became solemn. “I sense great danger. You should sense it too, right?”

The Saint Lady nodded softly. “The Luosha Race.”

“Yes.” Zhang Ruochen continued, “No matter how we fight, our true enemy is definitely the Luosha Race. I stole the Merits Records Wall because I didn’t want to see the bloodshed from the Saints of the Shatuo Seven Fields and get taken by the Luosha in the end.”

“The Luosha destroyed the other three Merits Records Walls,” the Saint Lady said. “They only left the one in the Phoenix Nest to make us fight each other.”

“If I agreed to work with the Kunlun’s Field,” Zhang Ruochen said. “Even if the Kunlun’s Field can exchange for a large amount of merits, it’ll still be done under attacks from the other worlds. Is that kind of partners.h.i.+p meaningful?”

The Saint Lady realized that Zhang Ruochen was clearer about the situation than anyone else. He didn’t need her reminders at all, so she asked, “Then what is your plan now?”

“My only way to survive now is to control the entire Saints Merits Battle by myself.”

“Are you serious?” The Saint Lady was a bit shocked.

“Do you think I’m joking?”

The Saint Lady pressed her lips together in deep thought. Suddenly, her eyes brightened. She seemed to understand Zhang Ruochen’s intent. “The Merits Records Wall is a hot potato but also your most important trump card. If you use it well, you might really be able to control the entire Saints Merits Battle.”

“So, I need partners, and not only the Kunlun’s Field,” Zhang Ruochen said. “I also need the Great Devil Ten Square Field, Tianmu Field, and Eight Ministry Field. I also need to choose someone for the bottom, such as the h.e.l.l Blade Field and Purple Mansion Field.”

The Saint Lady was very wise, so she understood Zhang Ruochen’s goal.

First, the h.e.l.l Blade and Purple Mansion Field would never be last place in a regular Saints Merits Battle. This way, the last place would most likely be the Kunlun’s Field or Tianmu Field. They would choose to work with Zhang Ruochen and defeat the other two fields.

Second, if the Great Devil Ten Square Field, Guanghan Field, Kunlun’s Field, and Tianmu Field were on one side, how would the Eight Ministry Field not know how to choose? With Mad Man’s help, the Eight Ministry Field would probably work with Zhang Ruochen too.

If the five worlds were on one side, only the Purple Mansion Field and h.e.l.l Blade Field would be left. No matter how unwilling they were, there was a great difference in power. They probably wouldn’t dare to attack the other five fields.

Zhang Ruochen’s solution could avoid internal conflicts between the seven worlds and also benefit himself.

“It works technically,” the Saint Lady said. “But there are too many variables in actuality. It’s too difficult and filled with dangers. If you make one mistake, you’ll never be able to recover. That Spiritual Flame Demonic Concubine is a huge variable. In addition, the Eight Ministry Field is very strong. They might not be willing to be used by you.”
