God Emperor - Chapter 1468
Chapter 1468: Lord Lingquan
Zhang Ruochen didn’t put that seventh marquis and Qing Mo on the ground until they arrived somewhere safe.
He then mobilized holy Qi and infused it into his Buddhist beads. All those twelve Buddhist beads flew up, floating at twelve directions, covering the area of a hundred square feet.
That seventh marquis was in a coma, falling on the leaves.
Zhang Ruochen reached out his finger and pressed his forehead. A trace of great mind power gushed out of his finger and entered the memory ocean of that seventh marquis, trying to search his memories.
There was a dark purple halo covering his brain, warding off Zhang Ruochen’s mind power.
“The great beings from Luosha race sealed his memory ocean to protect important information.”
Zhang Ruochen then mobilized his Divine Fire Jingmie and formed a fiery thorn, using it to pierce through the forehead of that seventh marquis, trying to melt the dark purple halo covering the memory ocean.
Sizzle!
Divine Fire Jingmie burned the dark purple halo. Zhang Ruochen seized this chance to penetrate his brain with his mind power, trying to search for some useful information in his memory ocean.
After a while, Zhang Ruochen retracted his finger.
“Even someone as powerful as Marquis Fengxing is a subordinate of Lord Lingquan. Semes like that Lord Lingquan is the real force to be reckoned with.”
“But why is Lord Lingquan trying to capture Saint Lady? How is she valuable to him?”
Zhang Ruochen obtained lots of important information in the memories of that seventh marquis, including the information of some of the top-tier beings from Luosha race.
Princess Luosha, Lord Lingquan, Marquis Xianling and Marquis Saint Arrow…
Among them, Lord Lingquan was a horrific being. He led a team of ten first marquises with extraordinary status in Luosha race.
What baffled Zhang Ruochen was that he seemed to be the target of Lord Lingquan as well.
“A sun of a Luosha king came to Zuling Field for me and Saint Lady instead of Phoenix Nest. Why is that?”
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and thought for a bit, however, whenever he thought he was getting close to the right answer, something would contradict his assumptions.
In the end, he shook his head and pointed at the forehead of that seventh marquis.
But then, Zhang Ruochen discovered another layer of purple halo in the deeper area of his memory ocean, which was more solid than the one before.
“Is there a larger secret?”
Zhang Ruochen tried to use Divine Fire to break it again.
However, just as he burnt the purple halo using Divine Fire Jingmie, that seventh marquis’s body started to shake fiercely, and then, a rumbling sound came out of his lower abdomen, followed by a destructive force.
“Spatial collapse.”
Zhang Ruochen was dazed. He immediately stepped back and pressed forward, breaking the space around that seventh marquis.
Before the seventh marquis released his destructive power, he was swallowed by the fragmented space.
Zhang Ruochen warded of the after waves with one arm, “I couldn’t even inspect further. What kind of secrets is the Luosha race hiding? Fortunately, I was well prepared, otherwise I would’ve been crushed.”
Zhang Ruochen took out Merits Records Wall and put it under the twelve Buddhist beads after the space was stable again.
Qing Mo’s eyes popped seeing Merits Records Wall. She rushed forward and strolled the wall, “Merits Records Wall. It’s Merits Records Wall… Can’t believe you seized Merits Records Wall from the saint mountain. Fantastic! There’s hope for Kunlun’s Field now.”
“What does Kunlun’s Field have to do with it?” Zhang Ruochen said.
Qing Mo was knocked back to the reality and rendered speechless.
Zhang Ruochen then put the Luosha blood and fragmented souls he just collected beside Merits Records Wall, increasing the merits of Guanghan Field by three hundred and seventy thousand points.
It was a huge number that many saints failed to collect in their lifetimes.
However, the gap between Guanghan Field and Great Devil Ten Square Field was enormous. Even if Zhang Ruochen kept killing Luosha marquises without any rest, he couldn’t close the gap.
Three hundred and seventy thousand merits were nothing.
“There’re only two ways.”
“Either, get in contact with the saints from Guanghan Field and transfer all their Luosha fragmented souls and blood into merits, then I can increase the merits of Guanghan Field by large.”
“Or, seize…”
Seizing was the best way to collect merits.
Hearing the word ‘seize’, Qing Mo was horrified.
She immediately rushed to Merits Records Wall, took out her Luosha blood and fragmented souls to transfer them into merits.
Qing Mo only relieved after seeing the increase in the merits of Kunlun’s Field.
However, Zhang Ruochen didn’t give a damn about her merits.
Zhang Ruochen took out a signal flare and wrote a message on it. And then, he infused a trace of Su Qingling’s saintly way force and sent it out.
Whoosh!
The signal flare toured around the forest and fell on the ground.
Zhang Ruochen walked toward the signal flare and said, “The space here is so chaotic that I can’t even send out a signal flare. Now this is trouble.”
How was he supposed to get Luosha blood and fragmented souls if he couldn’t get in contact with the saints from Guanghan Field.
Qing Mo walked to Zhang Ruochen and said, “Did you just say Sister Nalan is in danger? Why can’t you go help her?”
“There’re many great beings from Kunlun’s Field to protect her, and besides, I have no idea where she is even if I want to,” Zhang Ruochen said.
He knew how much he owed Saint Lady, but now, they were in the opposite teams, so it’d be the best for them both to stop getting in contact, otherwise it would be no good to her.
Qing Mo pinched her hair a bit and said, “I can sense where she is.”
“How?”
Zhang Ruochen looked baffled.
Qing Mo said, “It is a secret, at least for now.”
Although Saint Lady was very intelligent, that Lord Lingquan was one of the most powerful saints.
There was no way that Zhang Ruochen wasn’t worried at all.
“Great! I’ve been wanting to meet that Lord Lingquan to see how incredible he is.”
“Fantastic!”
Qing Mo led the way like a small teenage girl while Zhang Ruochne walked behind her with his hands behind his back. They walked out of the forest.
…
The second they walked out of the maple forest, they saw the thirty-three saint mountain in the inner area.
There was a huge swamp between the saint mountains and the forest, and there were crimson plants growing in the swamp. Their leaves and roots were transparent with fire burning.
Cold Qi ascended from the swamp, forming mist turtles, mist dragons and mist phoenixes. It was a magnificent scene, but it was hazardous.
There were saints and Luosha marquises who were frozen to death in the swamp, showing how terrifying the cold Qi was.
Cold Qi and fire intertwined with each other deep in the swamp.
Dozens of saints walked above the swamp, and there were characters under their feet and their heads, and around their bodies, which warded of the cold Qi and flames.
Chu Siyuan and Yue Shuzi walked at the very front, using their mind power to open a bamboo saint book.
The characters that were protecting them came out of that bamboo saint book.
Eight of the nine heavenly maidens, more than ten Confucius saints and domain kings of Ministry of War followed them two closely.
After so many fights, Martial Saint Canglan looked exhausted. She said, “Danqing, I reckon they’re coming for you this time. Do you know why?”
They’d been attacked fourteen times recently, and the attacks got fiercer and fiercer.
There were originally more than two hundred saints in their team, but now, there were only around forty left.
Saint Lady’s face paled because of the huge consumption of mind power. She said, “It might have something to do with Saint Book Ruzu. Based on the assumptions of each generation of Confucius monks, the mind power of the four Ruzu might’ve reached level seventy, which is at God’s level. It’s likely that they’re actually stronger than Gods to some extent.”
“Luosha race is known for having great mind power, so they must be very interested in Saint Book Ruzu. That’s the only explanation I can think of.”
The space above the swamp suddenly trembled.
A fire ball with a diameter of around one hundred feet knocked all the characters.
Boom!
All the characters were knocked away. A true saint from Ministry of War was hit by the fire wall, which burned him to the ground.
“No! The great beings from Luosha race have caught up with us again.”
Martial Saint Canglan and more than ten region kings from Ministry of War rushed out, trying to protect mind power monks like Chu Siyuan and Yue Shuzi. They all took out their saint weapons to be on guard.
“Haha!”
Lord Lingquan showed up from the swamp, wearing a black lightning armor. He looked like an unrivalled Demonic God.
The cold Qi and flames that could kill saints were all dispelled when they got close to Lord Lingquan.
“Do you really think you can escape Luosha spies by entering Bipolar Swamp? You’re too naïve.”
Lord Lingquan smiled disdainfully and said, “Confucius monks, stand at the left, and martial way monks, stand at the right. If you follow everything I say, I might spare you lives today.”
