It was naturally impossible for Zhang Ruochen to kill Crazy Devil, moreover, he could also tell that Crazy Devil should really be unaware of the situation.
With that, he then told Crazy Devil what had just happened.
Crazy Demon was not a stupid person, after hearing this, he immediately understood what was going on, clenching his teeth tightly, he arched his hand at Zhang Ruochen and said, “This matter is only my fault for not thinking it through, please don’t be angry, Brother Zhang, I’ll go back to the Eight Realms camp right now, and I’ll definitely go to get a statement back.”
Before Crazy Demon could leave, he received a mental power transmission, and then, his face changed slightly as he said, “Yuan Mixer and Golden Winged Leopard are not far away from the Sacred Mountain of Qifeng and are under siege by a large number of Rakshasa Clan’s experts, and the transmission was sent to me so that I could rush to their aid.”
Zhang Ruochen frowned deeply and said, “The whereabouts of Yuan Mixer and Golden-winged Leopard should be quite secretive, and the two of them must have been extraordinarily careful and cautious. How could the Rakshasa Clan know of their traces and even set up an ambush to surround them in advance?”
Mad Demon shook his head, also somewhat puzzled.
Princess Rakshasa’s heart secretly laughed, however, her face revealed a thoughtful look as she said, “Perhaps it was because they didn’t wait for Zhentianhu to return to resume their orders, knowing that their plan was defeated, so they set up a second trap. Most likely, they weren’t even surrounded by the Rakshasa Clan and were just trying to lure us over. Zhang Ruochen, absolutely not go to save them, be careful of being set up by them again.”
Zhang Ruochen fell into deep thought, always feeling that there was an unseen force that was manipulating this one thing after another.
That force, which seemed to be very close to him, seemed to not exist at all, making one puzzled.
Crazy Demon was a little anxious and said, ”I must rush back, after all, many Saints in the Eight Divisions Realm know that Yuan Mix came with me to meet you. In case something bad happens to Yuan Mix, I’m afraid that they will think that it was me and you who counted on him. The consequences would be unimaginable when those fellows get mad.”
After Crazy Demon left, Zhang Ruochen stared over at Ah Le and uttered, “Follow them, no matter what happens, at least keep Crazy Demon alive. Otherwise, we will be subjected to the Eight Divisions Realm’s insane retaliation, and at that time, all of my plans will be ruined.”
Ah Le’s figure flashed and disappeared.
When the Rakshasa Princess saw Ah Le leave, she then, sent a spiritual force out of the Sacred Mountain of Qifeng to notify Qian Yu and give her a new order.
Intercept and kill Ah Le.
Ah Le was Zhang Ruochen’s left arm, so as long as she killed Ah Le, she would undoubtedly be breaking Zhang Ruochen’s arm.
Fifty-five steps of mental strength was Princess Rakshasa’s greatest advantage, even if she stayed by Zhang Ruochen’s side, she could still manipulate the entire situation. Unless Chu Siyuan, whose Spiritual Strength had also reached the fifty-fifth rank, stood close by, it would be possible for her to realise that the Rakshasa Princess was secretly transmitting her voice.
Zhang Ruochen guessed some possibilities, however, there was no actual evidence, so he suppressed his thoughts for the time being.
“Heal your wounds first, only with a strong strength can you comfortably deal with all the variables that may arise.”
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Zhang Ruochen took a Fengchun Dan and continued to heal his injuries.
Earlier, he had only temporarily stabilised his injuries, not healed them.
About an hour later, Ah Le, who was drenched in blood, returned to the Sacred Mountain of Qifeng, carrying the Iron Sword in one hand and the dying Crazy Demon in the other.
The injuries on Crazy Demon’s body were extremely serious, there was a bowl-sized bloody hole in his chest, his internal organs were almost completely shattered, and his head was also cut off a small half by a sharp weapon, revealing a white skull.
With his half-step Saint King cultivation, which was comparable to the mighty strength of a one-step Saint King, he was even beaten half to death, showing how tragic the battle was.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen’s injuries, having recovered a large portion of his injuries, stood up boldly and asked, “What exactly happened?”
“It was indeed the Rakshasa Clan, and one of them was none other than the Spirit Quan Young Ruler who escaped from us last time.”Ah Le said.
Zhang Ruochen took out a Fung Chun Dan and put it into Crazy Demon’s mouth, pressed his palm on Crazy Demon’s chest position, and then, a large amount of holy qi surged out from his palm.
As the Dan Qi was refined and absorbed, the wounds on the Crazy Demon’s chest and head, the blood and flesh grew quickly, and it didn’t take long for them to heal completely.
The external wounds were healed, however, the internal wounds were still serious.
In order to nourish the internal injuries, one could only wait for the Crazy Demon to wake up and slowly recuperate on his own.
While Zhang Ruochen was healing Crazy Demon’s wounds, Princess Rakshasa also opened her eyes, and when she saw that Ah Lok had returned alive, a colour of disappointment flashed across her pupils.
“On his clothes, there is the blood of at least twenty Rakshasa Marquises. What a formidable character, in just one hour, he has killed so many powerful people.”The Rakshasa Princess secretly said in her heart.
Ah Le stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, “I want to talk to you alone.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes stared as the rest of his eyes glanced towards the Rakshasa Princess and suddenly realised something.
Obviously, the reason why Ah Le proposed to talk to Zhang Ruochen alone was not to guard against Princess Baili, but rather, he didn’t want the “Spirit Flame Demon Princess” to hear it.
Zhang Ruochen and Ah Le walked towards the distance.
When they reached a hundred feet away, Zhang Ruochen stirred up a spatial domain, wrapping him and Ah Le inside the domain, so that their conversation would not be overheard by the “Spirit Flame Demon Princess”.
“One of us must have defected to the Rakshasa Clan.”Ah Le said.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Why do you say that?”
Ah Le said, “I was ambushed by the Rakshasa Clan just after I left the Sacred Mountain of Qifeng, and moreover, all of the opponents were first-class experts. I don’t think there would be such a coincidence in the world.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded silently and said, “It seems like it was also a premeditated thing for Yuan Mix and the Golden Winged Leopard to be surrounded and killed by the Rakshasa Clan.”
Ah Le said, “Crazy Demon, Princess Bai Li, Spirit Flame Demon Princess, all of them are possible.”
“You even suspect Princess Bai Li?”Zhang Ruochen revealed a smile.
Ah Le said, “Apart from you, I suspect everyone.”
Zhang Ruochen naturally knew that the situation was quite serious and put away his smile as he solemnly said, “Princess Bai Li only just met up with us, if it was her, some of the things that happened earlier would not make sense. Therefore, she is the least likely. As for Crazy Demon and Spirit Flame Demon Princess …… this time, both of them have suffered extremely heavy injuries, and it’s very much like they’re deliberately covering themselves up.”
“However, Spirit Flame Demon Concubine is a sector child of the Great Demon Ten Sectors, the possibility of defecting to the Rakshasa Clan should be extremely small. Moreover, after being in contact with her for so long, she had many chances to lay her hands on me but didn’t strike at all. If it’s her, there are also a lot of explanations that don’t make sense.”
“Counting like this, Crazy Demon is the most suspicious. It’s entirely possible that he lured the experts of the Rakshasa Clan to surround Yuan Mixed because of an old grudge. But, if it’s him, will his brokenness be exposed too obviously?”
Ah Le said, “No matter which one of the three of them it is, this person must be extremely difficult to deal with, both in terms of intellect and means, he is definitely above the two of us.”
Zhang Ruochen also had to admit this, after all, the other party was able to lurk by his side and did not reveal any cracks, such a tactic was difficult for Zhang Ruochen to achieve, he asked himself.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Did Yuan Mix escape?”
Ah Le gently shook his head and said, “I’m afraid it’s difficult. At that time, there were at least three terrifying powerhouses whose strength did not belong to Yuan Mix together to surround him, and they had already heavily injured him. It’s as hard as heaven for him to escape.”
“Yuan Mix can’t die, take me there and hopefully it’s not too late.”
Zhang Ruochen withdrew his spatial domain and swept his gaze over Princess Rakshasa, Princess Baili, and Crazy Demon, and finally, fixing it on Princess Rakshasa, he said, “Demon Princess, how about taking a trip with us?”
Princess Rakshasa was an extremely cautious person, and knew in her heart that Zhang Ruochen had already become suspicious of her, thus, she agreed with alacrity, “Yes!”
Zhang Ruochen, Ah Le, and Princess Rakshasa left the Sacred Mountain of Qifeng together, while Princess Baili stayed behind to take care of Crazy Demon and guard Qiu Yu.
Walking out of the Sacred Mountain of Qifeng, they entered a swampy area.
The heavens and earth were filled with chaotic Saint Dao power, and the vast swamp was battered and broken, with some places being sealed by cold ice for dozens of miles in a radius, while others were transformed into lakes of magma.
Beside one of the lava lakes, Zhang Ruochen and the three of them discovered Yuan Mix’s corpse.
Yuan Mix died an extremely miserable death, and apart from his head, all the flesh and blood on his body had been eaten cleanly by the Marquis of Rakshasa, turning him into a humanoid white bone.
His corpse, hung on top of a broken spear, staring wide-eyed, the surface of his face was extremely painful and twisted, and it could be seen that he had been eaten while he was alive, not after death.
A supreme genius with a perfect physique had died in such a tragic manner, and before he died, he must have suffered pain worse than death.
Even Zhang Ruochen and Ah Le, seeing such a scene, had trouble keeping their minds calm and couldn’t help but suck in cool air.
The Rakshasa Princess purposely made her face very pale as she said, “Why didn’t Yuan Mix explode his own Saint Origin?”
“Perhaps, the Rakshasa Clan’s powerhouse, who carried some sort of spiritual power holy relic, suppressed Yuan Mix’s spiritual will, making it impossible for him to explode his Saint Origin at all.”Zhang Ruochen made this guess.
For a Sector Son to be eaten, it was simply an appalling thing.
One must know that all the living beings in the Eight Realms and those powerhouses in the Celestial Court Realm, all of them could see all of this through the battlefield mirror image. One could imagine how angry and frantic their hearts were at that time.
In the magma lake, Zhang Ruochen found the skeleton of the Golden-winged Leopard, which was also eaten cleanly.
There was nothing that could be done about it, even if Zhang Ruochen had rushed over with Ah Le, with Zhang Ruochen’s heavily injured body at that time, I was afraid that nothing could be changed.
Right now, Zhang Ruochen should be thinking more about how to deal with the series of subsequent events that were likely to happen after Yuan Mix’s death, which was the headache.
“There is still a living Saint here?”
In the swamp, an ear-shattering voice rang out.
A strong person from the Rakshasa Clan had spotted Zhang Ruochen and the others.
Immediately after, an Evil Shakra Qi surged up from all directions almost simultaneously, like thick dust rushing up into the sky, transforming into a dark red Evil Cloud that surrounded Zhang Ruochen, the Rakshasa Princess, and Ah Le in the centre.
