Chapter 1322: 1322
The plains around 500 miles from Zhilin Pass were the Immortal Vampires’ camp . All one could see were densely packed tents . There were many lights, like stars reflecting on the dark ground .
The sky was covered in thick blood clouds that extended for thousands of miles . Huge formations were operating in the clouds, preventing the imperial court from attacking secretly .
A tent of one general in the Qingtian Tribe was made out of human bones . There was a large flag outside the tent . A human’s skin hung from it . More accurately, this was the skin ripped off of a human Saint .
The blood hadn’t dried yet . It shone with crimson light .
Two powerful runes were burned into the skin using Rules of Saintly Way: Situ .
Situ was a large surname in the Qingtian Tribe . It represented an ancient and glorious family, second only to the royal family .
As the pride of the Situ Family and top figure of the younger generation in the Qingtian Tribe, Situ Fengcheng sat in the uppermost seat of the tent . He held the communication rune he’d just received with extremely hard eyes .
“Such a terrifying message . The world will be upended . ”
The message had come from Serene Wind Mansion . The content truly shocked Situ Fengcheng .
Just a while ago, the Saint Elder of Sacred Central Crypt had broken into the mansion city and beaten King Zhongying to the ground . Situ Fengcheng’s teacher, King Zhongying, was heavily injured .
Then Blood Emperor Qingtian had tried to stop them . He fought with the Saint Elder and shattered half of the mansion city . Millions of Qingtian Tribe members had died in the shockwaves .
The northern region only had 36 mansions . Each mansion city was an ancient city with more than 10,000 years of history . They had the firmest defenses . The defensive formations connected the cities and no disasters could destroy them .
However, more than half of Serene Wind Mansion’s city had been destroyed . One could imagine how terrifying the battle had been .
In the end, Blood Emperor Qingtian lost miserably and almost died in the Saint Elder’s hands .
According to the communication rune, the pavilion lord of the Immortal Pavilion had calculated that Blood Emperor Qingtian and King Zhongying were in danger . He fought against the Saint Elder across the void and saved Blood Emperor Qingtian and King Zhongying . He brought them back to the Immortal Pavilion to recover .
The Saint Elder seemed to have been hurt in the fight with the Immortal Pavilion Lord . She left Serene Wind Mansion and disappeared .
Situ Fengcheng had an advanced mindset . He quickly recovered from the shock and muttered to himself, “I wonder how incredible a fight between these figures is . If I could observe from a close distance, it would definitely help with my cultivation . ”
The Qingtian Tribe suffered greatly from this battle . Both Blood Emperor Qingtian and King Zhongying were close to death . Around 50 Blood Saints had died . Half-Saints and those in the Fish-Dragon Realm who’d died were innumerable .
The Saint Elder of Sacred Central Crypt was able to deal such harm to the Qingtian Tribe by herself . The tribe was now probably the last of the ten Immortal Vampire tribes .
The Qingtian Tribe had been taken by surprise, but the Saint Elder could escape from the Immortal Pavilion’s lord and go freely in Immortal Vampire territory . Her abilities far surpassed what the Immortal Vampires had predicted .
“Why did this happen? She’d cultivated for 800 years and should be a very logical and talented figure . Why did she risk dying to enter Serene Wind Mansion and fight against my master?” Situ Fengcheng didn’t understand .
The Immortal Vampires didn’t only have ten Blood Emperors . They also had the mysterious Immortal Pavilion . They were like a pit of dragons . No matter how high one’s cultivation was, breaking into Immortal Vampire territory alone was practically certain death .
The Saint Elder couldn’t have done this without reason . But Situ Fengcheng just couldn’t think of a reason .
“In the following period, the Qingtian Tribe will have hardships . I must prepare beforehand . ”
Situ Fengcheng sat beside the table and carved more than 30 communication runes . With a wave of his sleeve, the runes transformed into light and flew out of the tent, disappearing in the night .
Tap, tap .
Footsteps sounded . A soldier in blood armor walked in and lowered onto one knee . “General, Blood Saint Sijian and Miefeng request to see you . ”
Situ Fengcheng’s eyes narrowed . “Only those two?”
“Yes . ”
According to the news he received, Blood Saint Sijian and Miefeng had already entered Xianji Mountain and taken the formula for the Hua Divine Pill . Now that they’d returned, why wasn’t there news of Zhu Qingyi?
Situ Fengcheng had a bad feeling . “Let them in . ”
Blood Saint Sijian and Miefeng were Heaven Pass Blood Generals . They had extremely high status, but they were still polite when seeing Situ Fengcheng . Together, they said, “Greetings, General . ”
Situ Fengcheng nodded, gesturing for them to rise . “No need to be so polite . I am curious about what bad news you’ll give me . ”
“Zhu Qingyi was poisoned by the golden cobra in Xianji Mountain,” Blood Saint Miefeng said . “She was captured by Zhang Ruochen . ”
Despite being prepared, Situ Fengcheng was still surprised . “Zhang Ruochen? Which Zhang Ruochen?”
“That human Time and Space Descendant,” Blood Saint Miefeng said with a dark expression .
Then the two Blood Saints recounted what had happened in Xianji Mountain .
Sity Fengcheng kept frowning . He gradually accepted the truth . Zhang Ruochen had come to the northern region, captured Zhu Qingyi, caused so much bloodshed in Xianji Mountain, and nabbed the Thousand-leaf Saint Heart Grass, the main ingredient of the Hua Divine Pill .
Was this really something that a man with disabled meridians could do?
“Are you sure that Zhang Ruochen used both Spiritual Power and martial strength?” Situ Fengcheng asked .
Since King Zhongying said that he’d disabled Zhang Ruochen’s meridians, then they were definitely disabled . Situ Fengcheng didn’t doubt this at all .
“I fought against him,” Blood Saint Sijian said . “He definitely used martial strength . He doesn’t seem like he’s disabled . ”
“Perhaps,” Blood Saint Miefeng guessed, “Gu Songzi helped him reconnect the meridians . They were close in the fight for the Thousand-leaf Saint Heart Grass and left together . ”
Situ Fengcheng sank into deep thought . A beat later, he finally smiled . “Interesting . Very interesting . As expected of the Time and Space Descendant . He really never dies . Other than the five on the Heroes List, there’s finally a sixth human that I am impressed by . ”
“Actually,” Blood Saint Miefeng said, “Zhang Ruochen’s abilities can only manage to fight against Saints in the early Heaven Pass Realm . My cultivation is enough to squash him . But his spatial tactics are too mysterious . If he wants to escape, even a Saint won’t be able to make him stay . ”
Situ Fengcheng tapped the table . Staring at the candlelight, he said, “Zhang Ruochen captured Zhu Qingyi without killing her . It seems like he has a bigger motive . ”
“Zhang Ruochen grows too quickly,” Blood Saint Sijian said . “We must kill him this time . We can’t let him escape from Xianji Mountain . ”
“We naturally can’t let him out of Xianji Mountain,” Situ Fengcheng said . “Other than him, we also must take down Gu Songzi and Martial Saint Canglan . ”
Blood Saint Miefeng looked happy . “General, are you going to fight personally?”
“With the current situation, I must fight personally . Rather than having Zhang Ruochen come find me, I’ll go find him . ”
Situ Fengcheng already had some guesses . Zhang Ruochen probably didn’t kill Zhu Qingyi because of that thing Situ Fengcheng had .
“But Zhu Qingyi is still in his hands . He has the upper hand . I must get on equal grounds before fighting against him . ”
Situ Fengcheng didn’t like being restricted . Since he chose to attack first, he naturally had to prepare sufficiently .
He walked to the bookshelf on the left of the tent and took out a thick stack of files . The cover had two big words: Zhang Ruochen .
Opening the material, he quickly scanned it all . “In a few short years, Zhang Ruochen had gone from the weak king of a small country in Heavenly Devil Mountain to someone who even intimidates the Immortal Vampires . It’s not an exaggeration to say he’s a human legend .
“Yunwu Commandery, Martial City Academy, Eastern Region Saint Academy, Yin and Yang Sect, Blood God Sect, and the Pluto Sword Tomb all have people close to him . Who should I choose?”
The materials recorded that Zhang Ruochen’s weak spot was his mother, Concubine Lin of Yunwu Commandery .
However, Situ Fengcheng had recently received news that the cultivators who’d gone to the Central Emperor City to capture Concubine Lin had all died .
It was clear that a powerful force was protecting her in secret . Thus, trying to get Concubine Lin wasn’t an easy thing . Situ Fengcheng would have to try something else .
Whoosh!
Just then, a communication rune flew into the tent and landed in his hands .
Looking at the information, he smiled . “The Immortal Vampires hidden in the Pluto Sword Tomb said that they found traces of Huang Yanchen . She’s hurrying toward the north with cultivators from the Pluto Sword Tomb .
“Zhang Ruochen’s fiancée, haha . I will personally lead a group to capture her . As long as I have Huang Yanchen, Zhang Ruochen will be meat for us to butcher . I’d like to see how he’ll escape . ”
Blood Saint Miefeng volunteered to fight . Cruelty colored his eyes .
Situ Fengcheng felt that Miefeng wasn’t detailed enough . He shook his head . “Blood Saint Sijian must be the one who goes . ”
“Why?” Blood Saint Miefeng couldn’t understand .
“If we want to kill Zhang Ruochen, we must have two options,” Situ Fengcheng said . “Go to the eastern region and capture the people written here . ”
He handed a copy to Blood Saint Miefeng .
After the Blood Saints left, Situ Fengcheng finally muttered to himself, “When fighting someone who never dies and keeps getting stronger with every ordeal, two options aren’t enough . There must be a third and fourth option to make sure that he’ll die without ever coming back to life . ”
Situ Fengcheng wrote two letters and had someone send them to the Qitian and Huangtian Tribe . These two tribes both hated Zhang Ruochen . He believed that they wouldn’t miss a chance to kill him .
