Chapter 1603 - Time of Dawn (2/2)

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen cut off Ling Feiyu’s fourth plan. “Give me the Heaven Gla.s.s Cover.”

“Why?” Ling Feiyu asked.

“I believe that it’s better for me to be the main attacker. You only have to support me.”

Ling Feiyu’s eyes sharpened. She was about to say something, but Zhang Ruochen cut her off. “I control the powers of s.p.a.ce and time. If I want to escape, they won’t be able to stop me.”

“Really? Do you know how wise Shang Ziyan is? How could he not think of that? He must have prepared ways to repress your powers of time and s.p.a.ce.”

Ling Feiyu had cultivated for centuries and experienced countless battles of various scales. How could it be easy to fool her?

Zhang Ruochen fell silent. “I think that we must choose a general before the mission. Otherwise, it won’t be good if we have different opinions and do our own things.”

“Okay,” Ling Feiyu said authoritatively. “I have more experience and knowledge than you. I’m stronger than you too. I’ll be the general and you listen to everything I say for this battle.”

As the First Saintess of the Demonic Sect, Ling Feiyu carried an intimidating aura.

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t convinced. He shook his head. “Since we’re choosing a general, we’ll do it by vote. The person with the highest votes will qualify.”

“Begin voting now.”

“Please raise your right hand if you choose me as the general.”

After speaking, Zhang Ruochen raised his own right hand and looked toward Blackie.

Blackie had been with Zhang Ruochen for quite some time now, so it obviously knew his intentions. It raised its right paw.

At the same time, Demonic Sound raised her right hand in the distance too.

Zhang Ruochen put his hand down. “Three votes supporting me, so I think the result is quite clear. You don’t have any objections now, do you?”

Ling Feiyu’s eyes were like frigid stars. “Then, what is your plan?”

“No hurry,” Zhang Ruochen said. “Before acting, all of us must take a blood vow.”

“What blood vow?” Ling Feiyu asked.

Calmly, Zhang Ruochen said, “Everyone present must follow the general’s orders strictly. Whoever dares to act by themselves and disobey the orders will be destroyed and all their family and friends killed.”

Ling Feiyu could tell that this blood vow was only aimed at herself, so she asked cautiously, “What if I take the vow and you order that I cannot go to the Yin and Yang Palace? Would I have to follow that order?”

“How could I do that?” Zhang Ruochen said with a serious expression. “I have an important task for you on this trip to the Yin and Yang Palace.”

“Are you sure?” Ling Feiyu asked.

“I can make a blood vow.”

“No need!”

Ling Feiyu was very decisive. Without thinking more, she immediately made a blood vow.

After her, Blackie and Demonic Sound also made blood vows. Finally, Zhang Ruochen nodded with satisfaction and said, “We will act at dawn.”

…

At dawn, the sky was dark and covered in stars that sparkled on the two sides of the Heavenly River. The world was silent.

Even the busy Heavenly Capital Saint Market now seemed cold and quiet.

Strands of white mist floated on the street.

Four powerful Evil Way cultivators stood under the gates of the Yin and Yang Palace, talking on and off.

An Absolute Saint with an alligator head said, “The news has been released for so long. How come Zhang Ruochen still hasn’t appeared?”

“I think he doesn’t dare to,” a dwarf said.

A man with blood-colored hair sat cross-legged on the ground and released his Spiritual Power, seeming extraordinarily cautious.

Now, he huffed coldly. “You two better be careful. If Zhang Ruochen wants to act, it’ll most likely be at midnight or dawn. Since he didn’t act at midnight, it’s highly possible that he’ll act now.”

The dwarf was disdainful and laughed. “Xue Ya, how come you get more scared the higher your cultivation is? So what if Zhang Ruochen comes?

“Master Lin set up six formations near the gates. Three of them are defensive formations. Even if Zhang Ruochen comes, he’ll take some time to get past them before he has a chance to take away the heads.

“While he’s undoing them, the top cultivators in the Yin and Yang Palace will be alerted. As long as Lord Qing Liaoya, Lord Zhanyu and the others attack, Zhang Ruochen will be killed no matter how strong he is.”

Other than the man with blood-colored hair named Xue Ya, the other three Evil Way cultivators all started laughing.

But just then, Xue Yao sensitively noticed slight spatial ripples and let out an explosive roar. “Zhang Ruochen, you’ve finally appeared!”
