Merits Godly Palace.

Shang Ziyan stood below the two godly pillars on a circular stone table, looking to the space between the two godly pillars. He bowed and asked, What have you summoned me here for, master?

The two godly pillars were as large as mountains, stretching into the godly clouds.

There were three-colored clouds between the two pillars, which godly Qi flowed inside. Rules engravings permeated, and a dimming godly voice came out. What do you think of Zhang Ruochen?

Shang Ziyan said, Unrivalled among his peers.

Can you defeat him?

Shang Ziyan smiled. If we were at the same level, I couldnt guarantee that, but hes just an absolute saint. Hes nothing compared to me yet.

Flame God said again, What would you do if you were asked to kill him.

A God wanted to kill a saint?

Other saints would be shocked hearing that.

However, Shang Ziyan was very shrewd and had thought about it before. He said, There are excellent tactics, a mediocre plan, and bad tactics to kill him.

Tell me, Flame God said.

Shang Ziyan said, I dont need to do it myself. If we put out a great price, therell be many great beings trying to kill him.

Flame God said, You said It yourself that Zhang Ruochen is an unrivaled talent among his peers. Moon Goddess and the supreme saints from Guanghan Field will definitely do their best to protect him. Even the best assassin group from Heaven World will find it difficult to even get close to him.

Shang Ziyan said, Which is why thats only a bad tactic. I still have a mediocre tactic, which is to kill him with someone elses hands.

With someone elses hands?

Flame God was a bit surprised.

Shang Ziyan smiled and said, No matter how extraordinary Zhang Ruochen is, hes still just an outsider. He did save Guanghan Field, but by doing so, he stole the thunder of the heir of Guanghan Field and seized the glory that was supposed to be his. If another talent whos better than me comes into being in Merits Godly Palace, theres no way I can be at peace with him. Instead, Ill try everything to eradicate him.

Flame God said, What if the heir from Guanghan Field doesnt mind it?

Anyone whos ambitious will mind it. Wu Hao couldnt stand to be mediocre. Instead, he wants to help Guanghan Field thrive again. Unfortunately, his talent and power arent good enough to support his dream. Guanghan Field has fallen for so long that he wont be able to reinvigorate it. I might be able to give him some hope, Shang Ziyan said.

Flame God said, If Wu Hao is willing to help you, itll indeed be much easier for you to kill Zhang Ruochen. Whats your excellent tactic?

Shang Ziyan said, I presume that you want to kill Zhang Ruochen because hes the descendant of time and space, and once he grows up, hell be a huge threat.

Flame God stayed silent for a while before saying, Youre right. A hundred thousand years ago, there was an almighty being in Kunluns Field called Saint Monk Xumi, and that Zhang Ruochen must have a lot to do with that almighty being. Chances are, he might become the second Saint Monk Xumi.

Shang Ziyan said, Then why do we have to kill him? Wouldnt it be better if Zhang Ruochen could be under your control?

Ive tried it before, but Zhang Ruochens willpower is too sturdy to bend, Flame God said.

Shang Ziyan said, How about we do a walk-in on his body and saint soul?

Walk-in Haha, how come I havent thought of that before. Ziyan, youre indeed one of my proudest disciples. However, it isnt easy to do a walk-in on Zhang Ruochen. Flame God smiled.

Shang Ziyan said, It isnt easy indeed, which is why Ive decided to go to Soul Field to select a strong soul spirit that can swallow Zhang Ruochens willpower.

How are you going to execute that plan? Flame God asked.

Shang Ziyan said, Ill utilize all three of the tactics. The bad tactic and the mediocre tactic are just to distract Zhang Ruochen and the prominent beings from Guanghan Field. Swallowing Zhang Ruochens willpower is my ultimate goal.

Okay. Youre always meticulous, and I have faith in you. Youll be in charge of this. Flame God laughed.

Mu Lingxi stayed in Moon Goddess mountain and refined with the Moon Goddess.

After seeing Moon Goddess formally admitting Mu Lingxi as her disciple, Zhang Ruochen left by himself and went back to Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land in Red Dragon Sacred Domain.

Red Dragon Sacred Domain was the territory of Supreme Saint Manjian. As for Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land, it was one of the fourteen sacred lands in Red Dragon Sacred Domain.

Zhang Ruochen was the saint leader of Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land.

He saw lots of people gathering outside the sacred domain when he came back. There were human beings and all kinds of savage beasts.

Some of them were half saints, some were saints, and there were even some saint kings.

Whats happening? Zhang Ruochen was surprised.

If it werent for Supreme Saint Manjian, Zhang Ruochen wouldve thought that Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land was attacked by enemies. However, those monks were all very well-behaved.

A beautiful saintess walked to the front and yelled, Im a disciple of Supreme Saint Yukong, Yue Zhao. Im here to send you an invitation and gifts. We hope that Lord priest can head to Linjin Sacred Domain. My master has prepared a feast.

All the monks around held their breath as they didnt expect a supreme saint to send someone to invite Zhang Ruochen.

Which meant Zhang Ruochen was qualified to be a guest of a supreme saint.

An owl saint beast walked out of the sacred land. Its body was as large as an elephant. It stood atop and said, Ill take the gifts and the invitation and give them to Zhang Ruochen. Itll be up to him to decide whether to go or not. After all, Emperor Jimie, Supreme Saint Nine Spirits, and Wu Zu also sent invitations.

The owl saint beast then flapped its wings, and then, more than ten half saints moved all the gifts into the sacred land.

A level-nine half saint walked to the owl saint beast and said respectfully, Lord Blackie, I want to join Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land and refine with Lord priest.

He then added, Lord priest is my idol. Ill do everything to join Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land.

The owl saint beast said impatiently, Its not easy to join Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land. Line up there first, and Ill test every one of you. Only those who pass the test can join.

The level-nine half-saint looked exhilarated and walked to the line while whispering, I must pass the test and join Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land. Thatll be an honor for me. Yurou, wait for my news. I wont let you down. Ill become a man like Lord priest.

Zhang Ruochen reined in his forces and stood afar.

He saw that some of the monks here were sending invitations and requests for joining his sacred land.

Am I already that influential in Guanghan Field? Zhang Ruochen stroked his nose and chuckled.

After one battle, he could already be a guest of supreme saints.

Was that what being in first place on the Saints Merits Rank meant?

To avoid any unnecessary trouble, Zhang Ruochen dodged the crowd and sneaked into Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land.

Come meet me.

The owl saint beast was thrilled to hear the message from Zhang Ruochen. Youre finally back!

The owl saint beast gave the disciples in Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land an order, and then, it flapped its wings and flew to the deeper area of the sacred land.

There was white mist permeating the sacred land.

Below a cliff was a saint spring nurturing the sacred land. On the sides of the saint spring were spiritual medicine and saint medicine with fragrances and of all colors.

Zhang Ruochen stood beside the saint spring with his hands behind his back. The space around him seemed to have been affected as it was somehow solidified.

Whoosh!

The owl saint beast dived and laughed. Youre finally back, Zhang Ruochen! You have no idea how many monks came here to send you gifts. Supreme Saint Nine Spirits and Emperor Jimie even implied in their invitations that they want their granddaughter or daughter to marry you.

Suddenly

Zhang Ruochen turned around and spread his arms. A golden dragon was formed by saint Qi between his hands.

Howl!

The golden dragon quickly spun in the sky, forming a golden circle.

Out!

Zhang Ruochen wielded the golden circle that had a diameter of five feet against that owl saint beast.

Whatre you doing? Im Blackie! Blackie!

The owl saint beast was horrified. It flapped its wings forward, and then, two tumbling tornados were formed, clashing with the golden circle.

Boom!

The golden circle crumbled, turning into traces of dragon Qi, withering away in the air.

Those two tornados didnt disappear. Instead, they hit Zhang Ruochens body, knocking him to the sky, and the winds felt like blades slashing Zhang Ruochens body, making cracking sounds.

Zhang Ruochen had great enough defense power to ward off the tornados. He landed back on the ground and smiled. Just as I expected, youve recovered a lot.

Blackie retracted its wings and said, Of course I have. I can easily fight a couple of saint kings myself.

Zhang Ruochen couldnt tell the real power of Blackie, so he didnt know whether it was exaggerating or not.

Zhang Ruochen reined in his saint might and said, Dont you have incredible formation skills? Why didnt you set up a defense formation around Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land?

Of course, I have. Its just not activated, otherwise, do you really think you could sneak into the mountain that easily?

Blackie rolled its eyes as it looked down upon Zhang Ruochens power, and it was also very confident in its attainment in formations.

Zhang Ruochen said, Stop receiving gifts and people. Turn on the defense formation immediately and tell everyone that I wont meet anyone anymore. Seal Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land.

Seal the mountain? Why? Blackie was confused.

Zhang Ruochen said, Im who everyone is talking about now. There must be lots of people whore jealous of me. Id better keep a low profile, and also Theres something I cant tell you yet. I reckon therell be many assassins coming at me. Its best to seal the mountain.

And besides, I need to spend some time organizing the collections I got from Merits Battlefield and improving my power.

Okay, Ill go activate the defense formation now.

Blackie knew Zhang Ruochen was always cautious. He mustve heard of something or sensed dangers coming, which was why he told it to seal the mountain.
