Chapter 1312: Unreasonable

“You’re Zhang Ruochen, the Time and Space Descendant… No wonder, haha. No wonder your attacks are so strange. It’s the power of space…”

Zhu Qingyi laughed in realization. She finally realized who her opponent was now.

Everyone thought that Zhang Ruochen had become disabled. Who would’ve guessed that this man was still so powerful, even with his meridians disabled?

“You shouldn’t have come to the northern region,” Zhu Qingyi said. “This is the Immortal Vampires’ territory. Countless Immortal Vampires want to kill you. The moment your identity is exposed is the moment you die.”

“It’s not so easy to kill me.” Zhang Ruochen activated his Spiritual Power. He extended his forefinger and pointed at Zhu Qingyi’s forehead. She immediately grew limp and fainted on the ground.

“I can’t let her speak anymore.”

He stared at Zhu Qingyi on the ground with a grave expression. He was clear that if his identity was exposed, the Immortal Vampires wouldn’t be the only people coming to kill him. The greedy human forces would also use all their tactics against him to steal his treasures.

Qing Mo handed the silver kitchen knife to Zhang Ruochen. “How about…we cut off her tongue?”

“How can you be so cruel?”

Qing Mo widened her eyes. “Our situation is too dangerous now,” she said seriously. “We must be careful. If we’re captured, our treatment won’t be as simple as getting our tongues cut off.”

“Sensing danger is an improvement, but your methods are too simple. With the Immortal Vampires’ strong vitality, their tongues can grow back even if you cut it.”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head. Qing Mo was just a little girl who needed his guidance in every aspect. She couldn’t be too timid or too extreme.

Kaboom.

Wuyuan Island shook. Zhang Ruochen looked toward the huge explosion and saw various formation runes appear above the Flowerless Phantom Forest. They formed 108 thick chains that connected the ground with the sky.

Between the chains, Spiritual Qi transformed into thunder and lightning, crackling.

The space within Wuyuan Island seemed to freeze. Terrifying might pressed down on every creature on the island. It was suffocating and terrifying.

“Someone else entered Wuyuan island and activated a critical point of the Supreme Sain’t formation, activating the entire thing. The island is even more dangerous now!

Zhang Ruochen gazed toward the medicine garden. He saw various beams of red light fly out of the dirt. Each beam was like a bloody light. They were so sharp that they could easily slice apart a Saint.

Those beams of light were also a part of the formation.

Zhang Ruochen faintly heard Gu Songzi’s strangled cry come from the garden. It was clear that the Supreme Saint’s formation had given him much trouble too. A while later, the entire garden was covered in blood-red mist. The many beams of light wove into a web.

The originally peaceful garden was now extremely dangerous.

“That annoying old man won’t die in there, right?” Qing Mo was a bit worried. Zhang Ruochen’s meridians hadn’t been connected yet. No matter how annoying Gu Songzi was, he couldn’t die yet.

“Gu Songzi has lived somewhere as dangerous as Xianji Mountain for centuries. He’ll definitely have as many self-saving tactics as the Crazy Alcoholic. Don’t worry.”

Zhang Ruochen told Qing Mo to wait outside the medicine garden. Then he went back to the Phantom Forest to check who’d entered Wuyuan Island earlier.

A while later, he saw Xue Cheng’s figure.

“You dare to mock me? Go die!”

Xue Cheng seemed to have been poisoned by the hallucinogens. His hair was messy and he roared, hacking wildly in all directions.

Actually, Xue Cheng was very talented to be able to enter the Saint Realm before he was 100 years old. He was an elite. They’d had some misunderstandings and conflicts, but they were unimportant to Zhang Ruochen. He didn’t mind.

Zhang Ruochen had cultivated in the Martial City Bank before. He had some history with them, so he didn’t want their conflict to intensify.

Thus, he used a thunder spell and ran toward Xue Cheng. He wanted to restrict the man and take him out of the forest.

“Who is it? Who dares to attack me secretly? I will destroy you!”

Xue Cheng turned around suddenly. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with aggression. He grasped his sword with both hands and cut down with full power. He created a beautiful waterfall of Sword Qi.

Zhang Ruochen was surprised. He didn’t expect Xue Cheng to strike suddenly.

After all, Zhang Ruochen could only use Spiritual Power now. He couldn’t fight in close range at all. At this distance, he could only release all his Spiritual Power and form a huge thunder shield to defend himself.

Xue Cheng’s sword crashed against the shield. Then rings of ripples appeared on the light shield. Dense bolts of lightning flew out in all directions. Three of those bolts struck Xue Cheng. He spat out blood and kept retreating.

Boom.

When he took his 13th step back, he stepped on a rune from the Supreme Saint formation. He was instantly dismembered by an invisible force.

Zhang Ruochen collected his Spiritual Power. The electric light instantly dissipated. Looking at the forest dyed red with saintly blood, he sighed. “A pity!”

He suddenly sensed strong murderous intent. Turning around, he looked to the left. He saw Qiu Lanshan, ninth headmaster of the Northern Region Saint Academy, standing under a tree. He was glaring at Zhang Ruochen.

“How could you be so cruel? He only questioned you before, but you actually killed him. We’re all human Saints. How could you do this?”

Qiu Lanshan revealed his white teeth as if he wanted to eat Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t waste time explaining. Even if he explained, Qiu Lanshan probably wouldn’t believe him. He just scoffed. “Are you qualified to say I’m cruel? Did you consider that I’m a human Saint when you tried to kill me?”

“Blasphemy.”

Qiu Lanshan’s anger burned more hotly. He summoned the Nether Snake Sword and it hovered before him. As it trembled, countless sword-shaped Qi flew out.

He was in the Heaven Pass Realm and headmaster of the Northern Region Saint Academy. He was naturally a very skilled figure.

With Zhang Ruochen’s current state, he wasn’t his match at all.

Whoosh!

Zhang Ruochen used the Rush Thunder Spell, rushing out of the forest to meet with Qing Mo.

“You can’t escape. You must die today.”

Qiu Lanshan was even faster. He was behind Zhang Ruochen in an instant. The Sword Qi that flew out of the Nether Snake Sword formed countless beams of light. They twisted together and hit Zhang Ruochen’s back, penetrating the defensive shield.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes darkened. He turned quickly and pressed forward. Two gusts of Spiritual Qi flew out. He was about to use the Spatial Twist to dissolve Qiu Lanshan’s attack.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a string of sword buzzes rang out. Six saintly swords flew out of the forest. They stabbed down before Zhang Ruochen, forming a sword formation. They blocked Qiu Lanshan’s attack.

“Who dares to stop me from killing him?” Qiu Lanshan roared.

Dressed in snowy white armor, Saintess Liuli walked out of the forest. “Qiu Lanshan, how dare you? All human cultivators should be united against the Immortal Vampires, but you dare to kill a human Saint. Don’t you fear being blamed by all human cultivators in the world?”

Soon after, the other five Saintesses walked out too. They stood beside Zhang Ruochen.

Qiu Lanshan naturally recognized them. The anger in his eyes softened a bit. Bowing slightly, he said, “You may not know, but he killed Xue Cheng first. I’m only taking revenge for a Saint of the Martial City Bank.”

“Xue Cheng died?” The six Saintesses were all shocked. They didn’t expect this.

“Lord, what happened here?” Saintess Liuli stared at Zhang Ruochen. She was demanding an answer, but her voice was soft and filled with emotion.

Zhang Ruochen explained what had happened simply.

Qiu Lanshan didn’t believe him. “Impossible,” he insisted. “I don’t believe you. It’s not that easy to push away the blame.”

“I knew that you wouldn’t believe me,” Zhang Ruochen said indifferently. “That’s why I didn’t explain.”

“I believe you,” Saintess Liuli quickly said. “He’s not such a petty man and would definitely take responsibility for what he did. If he really killed Xue Cheng, he wouldn’t deny it.”

The other five Saintesses nodded too. They trusted Zhang Ruochen’s character.

Qiu Lanshan could see that Zhang Ruochen had interacted with the six Saintesses before. However, with his status, he wouldn’t just let go like this. “The Martial City Bank isn’t this easy to bully. A talented Saint dying is enough to alert the Martial Lord. How about we each take a step back? If you hand Zhu Qingyi over, I won’t pursue this matter anymore.”

Zhang Ruochen chuckled. “Is this an exchange of interests?”

Zhu Qingyi was extremely valuable. He could exchange large amounts of cultivation resources from the imperial court for her head. Getting a noble title with this accomplishment was easy too.

Qiu Lanshan wouldn’t deny it. “I want to kill her with my own hands,” he uttered. “To take revenge for my senior brother.”

“Sorry, I can’t give her to you.” Zhang Ruochen shook his head.

“Junior, you’d rather go the hard way? Then even the six Saintesses here can’t protect you today.”

Qiu Lanshan had a reason to kill Zhang Ruochen, so he didn’t fear the six Saintesses.

The Destruction of the Thousand Patterns burst forth from the Nether Snake Sword. Thousands of Sword Qi beams appeared in the forest. They flew quickly with sharp whizzing noises.

“Formation!” Saintess Liuli cried out.

Next, the six Saintesses quickly walked into a sword formation. Their powers overlapped. Saintly aura comparable to that of Qiu Lanshan’s burst from their bodies.
