Chapter 1545 - Lord Liaosang (1/2)
“What should I call you, senior?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
That middle-aged man smiled. “Su Jing, from the Nine Spirits Divine Bird Clan.”
“Also from Nine Spirits Divine Bird Clan?”
Zhang Ruochen couldn’t help it. He then looked to Su Qingling, and he found some similarities between Su Qingling and Su Jing.
Could it be…
Su Jing figured out what Zhang Ruochen was thinking. He laughed and said, “That’s right. I’m Qingling’s father. You don’t need to be so polite around me since you’re a good friend of Qing Ling. Just call me Uncle Jing.”
He was indeed Su Qingling’s father, which meant Su Jing was Supreme Saint Nine Spirits’ son.
Su Jing had an incredible status in Guanghan Field. If he were from Kunlun’s Field, he would’ve had more power than Zhang Ruochen, the crown prince of Sacred Central Empire.
After all, Nine Spirits Divine Bird Clan ruled more than half of the bird clans in Guanghan Field. Even Sacred Central Empire wasn’t that influential in its prime.
Everyone could tell that Su Jing was looking at Zhang Ruochen as if he would be his future son-in-law.
Su Qingling knew some of the arrangements in her clan, so she was so shy that she stood behind Su Jing the entire time. She shot a glimpse or two at Zhang Ruochen, but then, she would look away.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t feel pressured at all. He asked, “Is Guanghan Field really struggling now, Uncle Jing? Even you needed an invisibility lamp to cover our tracks after walking out of Shatuo Heavenly Domain.”
Zhang Ruochen heard from the Moon G.o.ddess that the sinister power in Heaven World had been suppressing Guanghan Field. Once the monks from Guanghan Field walked out of Shatuo Heavenly Domain, they would be attacked, and even a.s.sa.s.sinated.
Zhang Ruochen originally thought that the Moon G.o.ddess was exaggerating, as he reckoned Heaven World shouldn’t be this dark.
After hearing Zhang Ruochen’s question, all the other talents were disheartened.
Heaven World was boundless, yet the monks from Guanghan Field couldn’t even make it out of Shatuo Heavenly Domain. How pathetic was that…
Su Jing said, “I surely have a way to protect myself, so I can still get out of Shatuo Heavenly Domain. However, I heard some great beings from Soul Field are coming at you, so I need to be careful and brought the invisibility lamp.”
Wu Hao said, “The light can cover our forces, and Uncle Jing is protecting us. We definitely won’t run into danger.”
“Hopefully.”
Su Jing took out a piece of silver metal and infused his saintly way power into it. Following a clacking sound, a Refiner Dragon showed up in front of everyone.
“Let’s go.”
Su Jing hopped on the back of the dragon first, and then, Zhang Ruochen, Wu Hao, and the others followed.
Truth G.o.dly Palace was in Truth Heavenly Domain in Western Ox State, which was very far from Shatuo Heavenly Domain. Without s.p.a.ce transportation formation, it would take Zhang Ruochen’s group several years to get there.
Fortunately, there was a s.p.a.ce transportation formation in every heavenly domain in Heaven World. In some prosperous heavenly domains, there was a s.p.a.ce transportation formation in every sacred domain.
The s.p.a.ce transportation formation in Shatuo Heavenly Domain was located in Anbing Sacred Domain, which was more than three hundred thousand miles away from Red Dragon Sacred Domain. Even the Refiner Dragon would need five or six days to get there.
Mu Lingi was sitting beside Zhang Ruochen with her eye closed. It seemed that she was comprehending saintly way, but she was actually communicating with Zhang Ruochen using her mind power. “I heard Nine Spirits Divine Bird Clan wanted to befriend you, even using marriage.”
Zhang Ruochen knew what she was worried about. He said, “Don’t overthink it. Refine and comprehend the inheritance of the Ice and Fire Phoenix to become a saint king first.”
Mu Lingxi couldn’t help grinding her teeth, as she felt like Zhang Ruochen was trying to change the subject.
And then, Zhang Ruochen said to her, “I hate being united through marriage.”
Mu Lingxi felt that Zhang Ruochen got kind of emotional. She immediately looked to him. Zhang Ruochen looked a bit aloof but dazed as if he was recalling something.
“That’s right. Both his union through marriage with Chi Yao and Sister Chen ended in tragedy. I was also a victim of union through marriage.”
Mu Lingxi grabbed Zhang Ruochen’s hands, and the warmth from her palm healed Zhang Ruochen’s pain.
Zhang Ruochen turned around and looked at her. He looked more and more amiable. He smiled and tried to say something.
Suddenly…
Boom!
The ground shook.
Two saint power storms rushed toward the Refiner Dragon from the front and back, making earth-shattering noises.
