After Marquis Yan Lin left, Zhang Ruochen immediately stimulated the power of the twelve Buddha beads, collected his body’s aura, and quietly followed.
In the ancient fortress, there was an entrance that led to the underground.
The location of the entrance was decorated with very profound formation inscriptions, and, there were also sixteen Third Grade Marquises sitting in attendance, and with the importance that the Rakshasa Clan attached to it, one could also tell that the person being imprisoned must be a rather formidable figure.
“Greetings to Marquis Yan Lin.”
The two Third Grade Marquises who were originally sitting cross-legged on the ground stood up and saluted Marquis Yan Lin.
“Nothing unusual has happened, right?”Marquis Yan Lin asked.
“No.”
Marquis Yan Lin nodded, no longer asking any more questions as she pressed her palm towards the void, and instantly, in mid-air, a spiderweb-like array inscription appeared.
Her slender jade finger transformed into a phantom and crossed above nine of the formation nodes.
“Wow…”
The formation inscriptions blocking the entrance dispersed, and with that, the slender figure of Yan Linhou travelled towards the ground and disappeared into the darkness.
Zhang Ruochen stared towards the dark entrance and thought carefully, then, using a spatial distortion, he concealed his sight from the sixteen Third Grade Marquises and broke in.
Underneath the ground of the ancient fortress was a pitch-black space.
In the centre of the space, there stood a stone pillar with a diameter of more than twenty metres. On the stone pillar, a beautiful woman wearing purple Saint Armour was locked using five Binding Saint Locks.
That woman’s figure was very slender, and the skin underneath her holy armour was as snow-white as jade. Even after becoming a prisoner, she still exuded an aura that was difficult for ordinary people to match.
“Giggle.”
Yan Linhou entered the ground and gracefully stretched out a left hand, in the centre of which a bright holy flame condensed, illuminating the pitch-black space.
The woman who was chained to the stone pillar, opened her eyes and stared at Yan Linhou’s body as she said, “Why didn’t you kill me?”
“Because, you are worth more alive than dead.”Yan Linhou said.
That woman said, “Oh? There is still value? Hasn’t that princess of yours already transformed into another me?”
Yan Linhou stared at the woman and laughed, “A genius like you was already extremely rare. With a beauty like yours, it is even more rare. As long as you are brought back to the Hell Realm, you will definitely be able to fetch a very good price, and not necessarily, be worth more than many Saint Kings.”
That woman sneered, “I’ve long heard that the Rakshasa Clan has bred large numbers of humans for food. Even, after some great worlds were captured by you, they were directly set up as ranches, raising billions of humans. It seems that the rumours are true.”?Yan Linhou said, “You only know one thing, but not the other. The powerful nobles of the Rakshasa Clan actually have a penchant for collecting human elites, buying them back and cultivating them into pets, or war slaves. With your capital, there will definitely be many powerful nobles who will pay a high price for you.”
“I see.”
That woman’s gaze, fixed in the direction behind Marquis Yan Lin, revealed a puzzled expression.
Yan Linhou also sensed something, and with that, he quickly turned around and looked behind him.
Within this extremely short period of time, the Saint Force within Yan Linhou’s body was completely mobilised, and the Saint Flame in his hand became incomparably hot, transforming into the form of a foreign bird.
“Saint Arrow Waiter.”
A look of surprise appeared in Yan Linhou’s eyes, but he did not let his guard down just because the other party was a Sacred Arrow Courageous Courageous Courageous Courageous Courageous Courageous Courageous.
After all, the place where the Spirit Flame Demon Princess was imprisoned was not a place that anyone could enter.
“How did you get in?”Marquis Yan Lin asked.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Came in after you.”?Yan Linhou didn’t believe it because she knew Saint Arrow Cultivator better than anyone else, and it was simply impossible for Saint Arrow Cultivator to possess the ability to follow behind her without a sound.
“You are not Saint Arrow Courage at all.”
Marquis Yan Lin found some cracks in Zhang Ruochen’s body, to be exact, it was a crack that Zhang Ruochen had deliberately revealed. At this moment, there was no need for Zhang Ruochen to continue hiding it, thus the aura on his body naturally changed drastically.
Zhang Ruochen walked forward step by step, and with each step, the form of his body changed. At the same time, he also released his spatial domain, wrapping Yan Linhou inside the domain.
After taking ten steps in a row, Zhang Ruochen changed back to his original appearance.
“Zhang Ruochen.”
Yan Linhou recognised him, and instantly, his face changed abruptly.
“Swish.”
Marquis Yan Lin’s arms swung forwards, and two ten-odd feet long Flame Fey Birds, carrying two blazing pieces of Sacred Flame, surged towards Zhang Ruochen.
Yan Linhou naturally knew that Zhang Ruochen was powerful and that he was simply no match for him.
Thus, after striking the Sacred Flames, he immediately performed the fastest stance and swept towards the exit.
“As long as we reach the ground and spread the news, Zhang Ruochen will not be able to fly.”
Trying to defeat Zhang Ruochen was something as difficult as heaven, yet, Yan Linhou was fully confident that he could escape from Zhang Ruochen’s hands.
“Boom.”
Zhang Ruochen’s figure rushed out of the Sacred Flame, erupting with unrivalled speed, and in an instant, he had chased after Yan Linhou.
“How is that possible?”
Yan Linhou looked forward and realised that she was still twenty feet away from the exit, yet, Zhang Ruochen had already chased her to within three feet.
It was too fast!
Forced to stop, Yan Linhou could only stop and twist her body to meet Zhang Ruochen head on.
“Xuan Sword.”
Yan Linhou’s mouth spat out a one-foot long short sword that turned into a silver light and flew out.
The short sword did not attack Zhang Ruochen, but, instead, flew towards Spirit Flame Demon Concubine’s brow.
She believed that Zhang Ruochen’s appearance here must have something to do with the Spirit Flame Demon Concubine, and as long as she attacked and killed the Spirit Flame Demon Concubine, there was no way that Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t go to the rescue.
“With this little trick of yours, you won’t be able to save your life.”?Zhang Ruochen’s palm grabbed towards the void, using a spatial distortion means to change the direction of the short sword’s flight and grabbed it into his hands.
Right at this moment, Yan Linhou struck out twelve talismans in a row again, neatly arranging them in front of Zhang Ruochen’s body, turning them into a wall of talismans.
Yan Linhou smiled wryly, her red lips slightly opening, “Break.”
“Rumble.”
The twelve talismans burst at the same time, releasing twelve clusters of flame power that surged out in all directions, and instantly, all of the formation inscriptions on the stone walls of the underground space surfaced, emitting a glistening white light.
Yan Linhou turned around and swept over in the direction of the exit.
However, her figure, however, trembled violently, only to see that Zhang Ruochen had unexpectedly stood in the centre of the exit at an unknown time, staring at her indifferently.
“I’ve already said that these little tricks of yours won’t save your life.”
Zhang Ruochen’s figure flickered and disappeared in place.
“Not good ……”
Yan Linhou had just realised the danger and was about to dodge, however, at that moment, Zhang Ruochen’s figure completely occupied the pupils of her eyes.
“Ow.”
A dragon roar resounded in the underground space.
Subsequently, Zhang Ruochen struck out a Dragon Elephant Like Palm that heavily struck Yan Linhou’s body, sending her sprawling on the ground, with almost all of the bones in her body shattered.
Zhang Ruochen searched a storage pouch from Yan Linhou’s body and collected a drop of her blood before he was able to straighten his body again, and at the tip of his finger, he struck a spark of Pure Destruction Divine Flame.
“Puffing.”
The spark landed on Yan Linhou’s body, and with that, her powerful Saint Body burned, and soon, only a radiant Saint Source remained.
Zhang Ruochen put the Saint Source into his spatial ring before he walked over towards the Spirit Flame Demon Concubine who was bound to a stone pillar, carefully sizing up her petite body and face as he muttered to himself, “Like, too much like, it really is flawless.”
The Spirit Flame Demon Concubine was rather calm and said, “You seem to be the one who has already met that fake me.”
“That’s right.”Zhang Ruochen said.
The Spirit Flame Demon Concubine smiled an extremely bewitching smile and said, “It’s truly a miracle that you were actually able to survive in her hands.”
“Yes, it is indeed a miracle.”
Zhang Ruochen summoned the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, and with a thought, he swung five swords in a row, severing all five of the Sacred Binding Locks on the Spirit Flame Demon Concubine’s body.
Immediately after, the Spirit Flame Demon Concubine’s delicate body fell to the ground limply, kneeling on one knee.
In just the past one breath of time, all 144 orifices on the Spirit Flame Demon Concubine’s entire body opened up, spewing out ghostly blue Spirit Dragon Flame, her body boiling with demonic aura, and her eye pupils transforming into the shape of flames.
At this moment, she was a different person from the one who had just been chained to the stone pillar.
One was a weak woman who was at the mercy of others, and the other was a hostile female devil.
Zhang Ruochen, who was standing on the side, was naturally able to feel the anger in her body and advised, “If you want to take revenge now, I’m afraid you’ll end up being imprisoned here.”
The Spirit Flame Demon Consort looked sideways and said, “Is that so? Your strength isn’t weak, and together with me, can’t you still kill a heaven and earth?”
“There are close to a hundred first class marquises gathered in this ancient castle right now. How can we kill them?”Zhang Ruochen said.
Spirit Flame Demon Concubine’s brows knitted as she gradually calmed down and asked, “How is it possible for so many First Grade Marquises to pop up?”
“It’s a long story, so I’ll tell you after I go out. If you trust me, next, listen to me in everything, I can assure you that both of us will be able to leave here alive.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Spirit Flame Demon Consort and Zhang Ruochen were meeting for the first time, and were considered quite strangers.
On the Battlefield of Merit, trusting a stranger was undoubtedly a rather unwise thing to do.
The Spirit Flame Demon Concubine revealed a smile, “Zhang Ruochen, this Concubine has heard of your name, the Divine Envoy of the Broad Cold Realm, and it seems that you also cultivate the ways of time and space at the same time. Just now, this Concubine saw you using spatial power, there is no way this can be false.”
“Of course there can’t be any fake.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Spirit Flame Demon Concubine walked towards Zhang Ruochen, a pair of full puffy peaks in front of her chest gently trembled, and without any warning, her crystal clear red lips, directly kissed Zhang Ruochen’s face, smiling charmingly, “This Concubine never owes favours, this is considered to be repaying the favour you did to save me just now. If you are able to bring this Concubine out of here, this Concubine will also give you an even greater reward. Looking forward to it?”
Zhang Ruochen naturally had his own plans as to why he risked great danger to come and rescue the Spirit Flame Demon Concubine. It was just that he hadn’t expected that this real Spirit Flame Demon Concubine would be even more proactive than the fake Spirit Flame Demon Concubine, causing him to be a bit off guard.
“I think it’s better not to expect it.”
As these words were said, Zhang Ruochen’s figure and appearance, again, changed drastically, unexpectedly turning into the appearance of Yan Linhou.
