Chapter 1490 - An Heir Died
Chapter 1490: An Heir Died
Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t kill Mad Man, and he could tell that Mad Man didn’t know anything.
And then, he told Mad Man what had happened just now.
Mad Man wasn’t stupid. He immediately understood what happened. He clenched his teeth and said, “I’m sorry, brother Zhang. Don’t be mad. I’ll head back to Eight Ministry Field and I’ll bring justice.”
Before Mad Man left, he received a mind power message. “Yuan Hun and Golden Leopard are being encircled by many great beings of the Luosha race near Xifeng Saint Mountain. I’m supposed to go help them.”
Zhang Ruochen frowned and said, “Nobody else knows where Yuan Hun and Golden Leopard are heading to, and they’re both very cautious. How did the Luosha race know their traces and set up an ambush to kill them?”
Mad Man was also baffled.
Princess Luosha laughed inside, but she pretended to be thinking. “Perhaps this is another one of their schemes because they didn’t see Zhentian Tiger come back. They probably aren’t even being encircled by the Luosha race. Zhang Ruochen, we can’t go there, otherwise, we might be plotted against again.”
Zhang Ruochen felt that there was an invisible being pulling the strings. The power was very close to him, but he just couldn’t figure out what it was.
Mad Man was very worried. “I have to go back. After all, many saints from Eight Ministry Field know that Yuan Hun came here to see you with me. If anything happens to Yuan Hun, they’ll all think we’re responsible. You have no idea what’ll happen when those people go mad.”
After Mad Man left, Zhang Ruochen said, “Follow him. Make sure Mad Man survives no matter what, otherwise we’ll be attacked by Eight Ministry Field, and my plan will be in vain.”
Le then vanished.
Seeing Le leave, Princess Luosha transmitted a trace of mind power out of Xifeng Saint Mountain and gave a new order.
To kill Le.
Le was a confidant in Zhang Ruochen, so it would be ideal to kill Le.
Mind power of the fifty-fifth level was the greatest advantage of Princess Luosha. Even if she was staying with Zhang Ruochen, she was in control of everything, unless Chu Siyuan, whose mind power had also reached level fifty-five, was also around.
Zhang Ruochen came up with some assumptions, but he suppressed them as he didn’t have enough evidence.
“I need to heal first. I can’t deal with the changes coming until I am strong enough.”
Zhang Ruochen took a spring pill to heal himself.
He hadn’t fully recovered from before. Instead, he’d just managed to stabilize himself.
After an hour, Le came back to Xifeng Saint Mountain with an iron sword in one hand and Mad Man in the other.
Mad Man was severely injured, and there was a blood-red hole in his chest. Almost all his organs were crushed, and he’d even lost a small part of his head.
He was a half-step saint king who could rival a first-step saint king, yet he was beaten half to death.
Zhang Ruochen had mostly recovered. He stood up and said, “What happened?”
“The Luosha race indeed. One of them is Lord Lingquan who escaped us last time,” Le said.
Zhang Ruochen took out a spring pill and put it in Mad Man’s mouth. He put his palm on Mad Man’s chest, and saint Qi gushed out of his hands.
Mad Man’s chest and head immediately recovered after refining and absorbing the pill Qi, and the wounds were gone very soon.
However, he had still suffered from great internal damages.
Mad Man needed to deal with it himself after he woke up.
Princess Luosha also opened her eyes when Zhang Ruochen was treating Mad Man, and she looked a bit upset when she saw Le come back alive.
There is the blood of twenty different Luosha Marquises on his clothes. What a great being that he managed to kill so many great beings in an hour, Princess Luosha thought.
Le stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, “I want to talk to you privately.”
Zhang Ruochen shot a glance at Princess Luosha, and he suddenly realized something.
Obviously, Le didn’t beware of Princess White Li. Instead, he was careful of the ‘Spiritual Flame Demonic Concubine.’
“One of us has surrendered to the Luosha race,” Le said.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Where does that come from?”
Le said, “I was ambushed the second I left Xifeng Saint Mountain, and besides, all of them are prominent beings. I don’t think it’s a coincidence.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, “Yuan Hun and Golden Leopard were encircled by the Luosha race, and I feel like it was planned.”
Le said, “Mad Man, Princess White Li, and Spiritual Flame Demonic Concubine. All of them are suspects.”
“Even Princess White Li?” Zhang Ruochen smiled a bit.
Le said, “I don’t trust anyone but you.”
Zhang Ruochen realized how serious it was. He stopped smiling and said, “Princess White Li just met us. You can’t explain everything that happened if it was her. As for Mad Man and Spiritual Flame Demonic Concubine, both of them are seriously injured this time… They seem to be covering themselves up.
“But Spiritual Flame Demonic Concubine is the heir of Great Devil Ten Square Field, so it’s almost impossible for her to surrender to the Luosha race, and besides, she had many chances to attack me before, but she never did it. There’re many things that we can’t explain if it’s her.
“Then Mad Man is the most suspicious one. He might have arranged for the great beings of the Luosha race to attack Yuan Hun because of some previous grudges, but if it really is him, wouldn’t that be too obvious?
“No matter which one it is, he or she’s extremely difficult to deal with. Their intelligence and scheming skills are better than ours.”
Zhang Ruochen had to admit that. After all, he or she had managed to hide beside him and hadn’t shown any weak points. Even Zhang Ruochen wasn’t able to do that.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Did Yuan Hun survive?”
Le shook his head. “I’d guess not. Three great beings who are just as powerful as Yuan Hun attacked him at the same time, so it would have been almost impossible for him to survive that.”
“We can’t let Yuan Hun die. Bring me there. Hope we can make it in time.”
Zhang Ruochen put back his space domain, and he looked around at Princess Luosha, Princess White Li, and Mad Man. In the end, he looked at Princess Luosha and said, “Demonic Concubine, do you want to come with us?”
Princess Luosha was a very cautious person as she realized that Zhang Ruochen was starting to suspect her, so she agreed without any hesitation. “Sure thing!”
Zhang Ruochen, Le, and Princess Luosha left Xifeng Saint Mountain together while Princess White Li stayed and looked after Mad Man and guarded Qiu Yu.
There were chaotic saintly way powers in the sky and land, and the swamp was in ruins. The area of dozens of square miles was frozen, and some of it had turned into a lava lake.
They found Yuan Hun’s body beside a lava lake.
Yuan Hun had died in an extremely tragic way, as all his flesh was eaten by Luosha marquises, except his head.
His body was hung on a broken spear as his eyes popped. His face looked twisted, as he could have seen that he was eaten alive.
He used to be a great talent with a complete body constitution, but he died in such a tragic way. He must’ve endured great pain before he died.
Even Zhang Ruochen and Le couldn’t stay calm. Their hearts skipped a beat when they saw it.
Princess Luosha tried to look horrified and said, “Why didn’t Yuan Hun blow up his saint source?”
“Perhaps the Luosha great beings have some mind power weapons that suppressed the consciousness of Yuan Hun,” Zhang Ruochen speculated.
It was terrifying that an heir was eaten.
All the creatures from Eight Ministry Field and Heaven World could see it through the battle reflection, and one could only imagine how indignant and mad they were.
Golden Leopard was also completely devoured, and its body was in the lava lake.
There was nothing they could’ve done to change it. After all, even if Zhang Ruochen and Le were here, they were too injured to help them.
Now, Zhang Ruochen needed to think about what would happen after Yuan Hun’s death.
“Any saints still alive?”
A deafening sound came from the swamp.
Some of the Luosha great beings noticed Zhang Ruochen.
Evil sha Qi gushed out everywhere, and it surged into the sky like dust, turning into crimson evil clouds, surrounding Zhang Ruochen, Princess Luosha, and Le.
