Whether it was the second echelon of the Endless Abyss or the blood qi left behind by the Blood Queen, all of them would be quite curious and awe-inspiring.
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden was not a conservative, introverted disciple of the Confucian Way; instead, she had a strong desire to know about everything in the world.
The more dangerous something was, the more valuable it seemed to be to explore.
Zhang Ruochen saw that the Sacred Book Talented Maiden’s eyes carried a touch of extremely daring interest, so he asked, “You want to go to the place where the blood-coloured alien light gushed out to investigate?”
“Hmm.”
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden nodded her cicatrization and said, “I have a premonition that the place where the blood-coloured alien light gushed out is most likely related to the origins of the Blood Beasts.”
It was important to know that the Sacred Book Talented Maiden was not an ordinary person, but a Spiritual Force Saint.
The premonitions of Spiritual Force Saints were not just wild guesses, but, rather, they were able to subconsciously see things that ordinary people were unable to see, and were even able to cross the boundaries of time and space.
Of course, the ability of Spiritual Power Saints, was quite limited, and many times it was just a flash of light. There was a huge gap between their abilities in this regard compared to the Time and Space Transmitters.
Comparatively speaking, some of Zhang Ruochen’s premonitions were more accurate.
For example, he had had a premonition that the Sacred Book Talented Maiden travelling to the Shangguan Family would most likely encounter danger, and so, the Sacred Book Talented Maiden had actually encountered a fierce danger and almost fell.
Another example was that Zhang Ruochen had a premonition that the Sacred Book Talented Maiden was most likely not dead, and that was why he had no choice but to sneak into the Blood God Sect.
In the end, his premonition was, once again, correct.
Although it was said to be a premonition, it was likely that it was Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power that penetrated the boundaries of time and space, and at a certain moment, he saw a picture of the future.
Only, his spiritual power was too weak, and his understanding of time and space was still at a very shallow level, so he was simply unable to accurately capture those images.
In the end, those images, which became very blurry, flickered in Zhang Ruochen’s mind and turned into a feeling.
Moreover, Zhang Ruochen only occasionally, now, had some premonitions that he could only passively accept.
Perhaps in the future, when his spiritual power became stronger and his understanding of time and space became greater, he would be able to actively probe something.
Spiritual power saints also had some special abilities, they could use their spiritual power to project something. The stronger the spiritual power, the stronger the ability to project.
The abilities of Spiritual Force Saints were naturally still quite limited.
Just like the Sacred Book Talented Maiden, if she was able to accurately project misfortune, blessing, good fortune, and evil, how could she have been in danger one after another?
Whether it was the projections of the Spiritual Force Saint or that premonition of Zhang Ruochen’s, there were too many uncertainties. In fact, a strong cultivation was what one could truly rely on.
Zhang Ruochen nodded and asked, “How much of your Spiritual Power have you recovered?”
“About two or three layers!”The Sacred Book Talented Maiden said.
Even if, she had only recovered two or three layers of her spiritual power, the strength of her spiritual power could still be compared to some spiritual power cultivators who had entered the Saint realm for the first time.
The strength of the Sacred Book Talented Maiden was naturally not to be underestimated.
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, looking into the boundless darkness, was sharp as he said, ”Before we go to the location where the blood-coloured alien light is gushing out to explore, we must first take care of the enemy. Hearing the blood beast’s cries earlier, the Immortal Orchid King should be rushing over soon.”
The Sacred Book Talent Maiden’s beautiful eyes looked exceptionally bright, and each of her curved eyelashes was also full of beauty as she said, “Instead of being passive and going on, we should take the initiative. The rules of heaven and earth in this place are enough to suppress cultivators’ cultivation to less than one-two-thousandth of a centimetre, and the advantages of your physique will be on full display, enough to compete with the Immortal Orchid King.”
“Moreover, I also have some means that are sufficient to help you.”
Zhang Ruochen flanked slightly and asked, “What means?”
“I can play the zither for you.”
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden gave a shallow smile and stretched out a snow-white slender jade hand, and in the centre of her palm, a circle of white light emerged.
In the centre of the white light, a turquoise-coloured zither that was only an inch long emerged, small and delicate, with every string clearly visible.
The turquoise-coloured ancient zither gradually grew larger, reaching a length of three feet, six inches and five inches, and was cradled between her hands.
The body of the zither was flattened, with smooth curves, as if it was crafted according to the body shape of the Ice Phoenix, both the craftsmanship and the materials were quite astonishing, and it was by no means a mortal product.
Zhang Ruochen naturally knew that the Sacred Book Talented Lady stroking the zither for him was not as simple as a favour.
One must know that the Qin Sect, the first of the four Confucianism and Taoism Sects, was the holy land of the qin, which could kill people with the sound of the qin, tame savage beasts with the sound of the qin, and communicate the rules of heaven and earth with the sound of the qin.
With the qin to become a saint, using the sound of the qin can break a thousand armies.
There are beautiful people on the side, holding the qin, in this cold and dark world, full of a different mood.
However, it was surrounded by killing machines, making it hard to appreciate that kind of beauty.
Zhang Ruochen and the Sacred Book Talented Maiden made the decision that before the Immortal Orchid King rushed over, they had to make some arrangements in advance.
It would naturally be best if they could use a sneak attack to kill the Immortal Orchid King as fast as possible.
Earlier, the roar of the blood beast had penetrated far, and had indeed startled the Immortal Orchid King and the Second Prince.
The Immortal Orchid King, however, was not one to venture out on impulse and did not immediately rush over.
The Immortal Orchid King had been in the Prison Suppression Ancient Clan, lurking around for nearly a hundred years and had not been discovered, thus showing how cautious this person was.
“Since this king can hear the whistling of the blood beasts, Zhang Ruochen and the Sacred Book Talented Maiden must be able to hear it as well, so perhaps they have already arrived in the vicinity first.”Immortal Orchid King said.
“I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to find them, wouldn’t it be better if they had really rushed over?”The corners of the Second Prince’s mouth rose, and a joyful look appeared in his eyes.
“It’s best to be careful, the Sacred Book Talented Maiden and Zhang Ruochen aren’t easy to deal with. If, however, the Sacred Book Talented Maiden has recovered from her injuries, even this king may not be her opponent.”
Immortal Orchid King’s face was grave as he cautiously moved forward, not daring to let his guard down.
The Second Prince said, “The Sacred Book Talented Lady’s cultivation is indeed very strong, however, her injuries are also very heavy, so how could she possibly recover in just one day?”
“Instead, I think that now is the best time to deal with them. If we continue to wait, once the Sacred Book Talented Maiden’s injuries are fully recovered, we will never have another chance.”
The Immortal Orchid King also thought that the Second Prince’s words still had some truth to them.
Thus, he accelerated his stance and rushed towards the direction where the sound of the beast’s whistling came from at an even faster speed.
The rules of heaven and earth became denser, and the temperature in the air became lower and lower. Ahead, a black stone cliff appeared, a thousand feet high, appearing steep and smooth, much like it had been cleaved into its current form by a human sword.
“There is a human aura.”
Immortal Orchid King immediately stopped and looked downwards, and on the ground, he found messy footprints that could be discerned to have been left behind by Zhang Ruochen and the Sacred Book Talent.
A delighted look appeared on the Second Prince’s face as he said, ”Excellent! We will definitely be able to intercept them as we continue to chase after them. As long as we take the two of them down, it will be a great achievement, and Father Emperor will definitely be impressed with me when he comes out of the gate.”
The Crown Prince had created a lot of pressure on the Second Prince, and he couldn’t wait to make some feats to defend his position in the eyes of the Cyan Sky Blood Emperor.
The Immortal Orchid King always felt that something was wrong, his eyes kept turning and he was a little hesitant.
Suddenly, he felt that in the direction of his right side, there was a killing chance from death that surged in rapidly, and the space around him was like a broken glass that cracked rapidly.
Where the spatial crack penetrated, everything was torn apart, there was no force that held it back.
“It’s a trap.”
The Immortal Orchid King’s nerve reaction speed was incredibly fast, and with a bang, he struck the Second Prince’s body with a palm strike, sending him lunging to the right.
At the same time, the Immortal Orchid King, with the help of that recoil, was like a floating light, like a lightning bolt, to the left ****, narrowly avoiding that piece of broken space.
“Ka-ching.”
The second prince’s body, crashed into the broken space, and in a split second, it was split into pieces, as if it had suffered a thousand cuts, turning into blood, bones, and remnants of flesh.
In the end, the shattered space, swallowed his remains completely inside.
Even though the Second Prince’s body had many means of protection, in front of the crumbling space, he only lasted for a split second, and in the end, his divine form was destroyed.
Immortal Orchid King took a deep breath and roared sternly, “Zhang Ruochen, you still don’t show yourself?”
In the darkness, Zhang Ruochen’s voice resounded, “What a great move to abandon the car and protect the commander-in-chief, my carefully laid out killing move was actually dissolved by you so easily.”
Immortal Orchid King was naturally able to hear that Zhang Ruochen had satirised him.
However, he didn’t care and snorted coldly, “The one who killed the Second Prince was you, so what does it have to do with this king?”
“Since you have said so, how can I deny it?”
Zhang Ruochen wore the Meteor Invisibility Clothes and performed Spatial Shift, in the darkness, constantly changing his orientation.
Sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right, the Immortal Orchid King was simply unable to lock onto his position.
The Immortal Orchid King didn’t deliberately probe Zhang Ruochen’s location, instead, he split some of his Saint Consciousness to look for the Saint Book Talented Girl’s traces.
Since Zhang Ruochen was nearby, the Sacred Book Talented Girl must not be far from him.
Sure enough, Immortal Orchid King soon discovered the location of the Sacred Book Talented Lady, who was sitting a hundred feet away.
A turquoise and translucent ancient zither was placed on her knees. She had an aura about her, and her entire body appeared serene, yet ethereal.
“As long as we attack the Sacred Book Talented Maiden, Zhang Ruochen will definitely show up.”Immortal Orchid King secretly said.
“Swish!”
Three white holy swords flew out from Immortal Orchid King’s brow qi sea.
On the surface of the holy swords, a large white glow emanated.
Two of the holy swords flew over towards the Sacred Book Talented Lady, with a murderous aura that gave off a devastating aura.
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden appeared extraordinarily calm, and with her two slender jade fingers, she lightly twisted one of the strings, and her fingertips flicked it in a smooth motion.
“Wow…”
At that instant, a piercing clanging sound resounded in the space of several hundred feet in circumference.
A crimson fire cloud, following her finger, surged out from above the strings, meeting the two flying holy swords head on.
The fire cloud emitted a whistling sound and meandered and rotated, actually transforming into a ten-metre long phoenix, filling the sky with fire and sending the two holy swords flying backwards.
The power that erupted from the ancient qin was not considered strong.
If it was on the ground, without the suppression of the rules of heaven and earth, the power of this finger of the Sacred Book Talented Maiden
