Chapter 1538: Enemies Are Coming  

Soul Field was also one of the secular fields under Heaven World, and it was one of the top hundred fields in the western world. Even all the saints from the Shatuo Seven Fields combined couldn’t rival Soul Field.

Soul-Control Technique was a terrific skill even in Soul Field. It was one of the forbidden techniques.

Wu Hao asked, “Are you sure it’s Soul-Control Technique?”

“That’s right. Both Wu Qingkong and Li Zhi’s eyes were dim, covered by dark purple light. Obviously, a great being from Soul Field has controlled their saint souls and used them as puppets to try to assassinate our priest.”

Wen Shusheng’s heart was pounding so fast that he could hear its sound coming out of his body.

He looked around as if he were searching for something.

Everyone present was terrified.

Saint king’s saint souls had tremendous willpower. Unless a supreme being from Soul Field had arrived, there was no way their saint souls could be controlled.

And besides, that supreme being must have attained great things in terms of ‘Soul-Control Technique.’

Zhang Ruochen noticed Wen Shusheng’s being unsettled. He asked, “What’re you looking for?”

Wen Shusheng tried to calm himself down. “One needs to be close enough to perform Soul-Control Technique. It’s not an easy task to control the saint souls of two saint kings. I reckon the person is around Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land.”

Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes, and his mind power turned into light spots, spreading from Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land.

Heaven World was way superior to Kunlun’s Field, so the mind power of a monk would be suppressed. Even so, Zhang Ruochen was able to inspect an area of a thousand square miles.

After a short while, Zhang Ruochen retracted his mind power, looked to everyone and shook his head.

Su Qingling’s face paled. “If he or she could control the saint souls of two first-step saint kings, does that mean ours might be controlled as well?”

Mu Lingxi was very worried. She said, “Even Zhang Ruochen wasn’t able to find that person, and that means that person is a supreme being. Let’s ask Supreme Saint Manjian to kill him since he’s in Red Dragon Sacred Domain.”

Zhang Ruochen nodded, walked to the statue of Supreme Saint Manjian, and mumbled.

Whoosh!

The clouds quickly piled up above the statue, turning into an enormous gleaming saint cloud.

And then, power saint might burst out of the statue. Zhang Ruochen and other saints were still able to handle the supreme saint forces, but the half saints in Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land all kneeled on the ground.

The statue suddenly opened its eyes and said, “Why did you ask me to be here, Zhang Ruochen?”

“Supreme saint.”

Zhang Ruochen bowed respectfully, and then, he pointed at the two first-step saint kings and said, “Please take a look at them, supreme saint.”

“Oh? Soul-Control Technique.”

Obviously, Supreme Saint Manjian was a bit surprised, as he didn’t expect a great being from Soul Field to trespass on Dragon Sacred Domain and take over the saint souls of two saint kings.

Whoosh!

A circle of saint light gushed out of the statue and hit the two first-step saint kings.

And then, two traces of purple mist emanated from the two first-step saint kings, and after staying in the air for a breath of time, they withered away completely.

“What happened?”

“My head hurts so bad, and my saint soul is damaged… Wait… Why am I tied up on the statue?”

Both first-step saint kings regained their consciousness, yet their brains were still in a mess as they didn’t know what happened.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t take back the two Saint-binding Chains and release them after they recalled what happened.

…

There was a mountain called ‘Gui Mountain’ that was a thousand miles away from Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land.

Gui Mountain was more than ten thousand miles long, connecting Red Dragon Sacred Domain and Liku Sacred Domain. There were ancient trees growing on the mountains, and the saint beasts that were born because of the saint Qi from Heaven World made this place look exceptionally hazardous.

Deep inside Gui Mountain were more than ten beings, led by Shang Ziyan. They were standing at the foot of the mountain, looking at Mount Yuanxu from afar.

There was a layer of purple light under their feet.

They were actually thin purple engravings that looked like earthworms, and those engravings formed a huge formation with a diameter of sixteen hundred feet.

The space was entirely purple inside the formation.

A slender man in purple was standing at the center of the formation. Half of his body was flesh and body, but the other half was purple mist, which looked incredibly bizarre.

He was half human and half soul.

He was holding a bloody bone scepter, standing at the center of the formation.

The bone scepter was made of a spine, and the joints still looked distinct. At the top of the scepter was a skull with black hair that was glowing with phosphorescence.

Both the bone scepter and that purple-caped man looked creepy.

The purple-caped man said, “Both Wu Qingkong and Li Zhi had great cultivation, and they can even rival second-step saint kings who’re relatively weak, yet Zhang Ruochen easily defeated them. That Zhang Ruochen does have impressive power.”

Shang Ziyan stood there with silver hair and a red three-feathered hat. He smiled, holding a jade scroll. “I wouldn’t have asked you to help me if he were weak.”

Two beautiful girls were standing behind Shang Ziyan, and both of them were first-step saint kings. They were Tian Shu and Tian Miao, respectively.

Tian Shu looked elegant. She asked, “Does that mean Zhang Ruochen can rival a second-step saint king?”

“Not quite.”

Shang Ziyan said, “After all, Wu Qingkong and Li Zhi were nothing but puppets, which means their power was largely discounted. If they teamed up with their peak power, it wouldn’t be easy for Zhang Ruochen to defeat them.”

Tian Shu was relieved and said, “Good, then I should be strong enough to suppress Zhang Ruochen.”

As a saint king from Merits Godly Palace, Tian Shu was confident that she could easily defeat Wu Qingkong and Li Zhi, which meant it wouldn’t be hard for her to fight Zhang Ruochen.

“Though Wu Qingkong and Li Zhi failed to kill Zhang Ruochen, they forced him to show his power. They still helped us some though,” Tian Miao said.

Shang Ziyan shook his head and said, “Sadly, they didn’t force Zhang Ruochen to perform Sword Technique of Time.

“Sword Technique of Time slays in one strike. It’s already a known fact among the saints. I really want to have a try.” A slightly disdainful laughing sound came out of the purple halo.

Shang Ziyan shot a glance at the purple halo and smiled. “You haven’t become a saint king, have you, Xu? Where’re you on the ‘Saints Merits Rank’?”

“Seventh. I was in sixth place, but that Zhang Ruochen got too many merits in Zuling Field and surged into first place, making me fall one rank behind.”

Obviously, that man ‘Xu’ didn’t recognize Zhang Ruochen’s power, as he thought Zhang Ruochen only got the merits by luck as opposed to how he accumulated his merits through time.

“You guys will have a chance to have a fight,” Shang Ziyan said.

“Perhaps you’ll kill him before I have a chance to do so.” The same laughing sound came out of the purple halo again.

Tian Shu looked confused, “King Hun, if you’re able to control the saint souls of two saint kings, why didn’t you just control Zhang Ruochen’s directly?”

The purple-caped man called ‘King Hun’ smiled sneakily. “Zhang Ruochen’s ranked first on the ‘Saints Merits Rank.’ His willpower is so robust that even my senior sister might not be able to control it. The more gifted someone is, the more difficult to control him.

“Wu Qingkong and Li Zhi are different. Although their cultivation gets better as they grow, they still couldn’t make it to second-step saint kings. In fact, that made their willpower weaker and weaker. They can’t even compare with those talented saints from Guanghan Field, so it’s way easier to control their saint souls.”

“I understand now,” Tian Shu said.

King Hun said, “My Soul-Control Technique isn’t brilliant enough yet. I still need soul formation to control Wu Qingkong and Li Zhi. If it were my senior sister, she could control it in an instant.”

“King Sunlight won’t give a damn about a saint. She wouldn’t have come even if we asked her to.” Xu laughed in the purple halo.

Whoosh!

A glowing saint light came from the peak of Mount Yuanxu, and one could see it even if it was three thousand miles away.

Shang Ziyan looked serious. “Supreme Saint Manjian is trying to find us.”

King Hun smiled. “Supreme Saint Manjian is indeed a force to be reckoned with. However, he’s quite mediocre when it comes to mind power attainment. I’ve brought my ancestor’s Broken Natal Way Charm. Even if he actually shows up, he won’t be able to find us.”

King Hun in purple opened his right hand where there were three thousand bizarre golden engravings.

He put his hand on the ground, and Broken Natal Way Charm merged with the purple formation.

The saint light from the statue of Supreme Saint Manjian swept across the purple formation, yet it failed to detect their traces.
