“Why would you go to the north if you want immortal vampires?”

Wan Ke was very clever. After hearing what Zhang Ruochen said, he frowned and said, “Does the problem you’re having have to do with the immortal vampires?”

Zhang Ruochen then nodded and told them everything he knew.

He had absolute trust in his brothers, so there was nothing to hide.

“Okay! If there’re so many immortal vampires here, let’s go get them first!”

The sense of hostility gushing out of Zhu Hongtao solidified the air around him.

“No need to rush. Let’s wait for a while. There’ll be a great war in this evil city tonight. We’ll join the war later,” Zhang Ruochen said with a smile.

Zhang Ruochen received a message from Huang Yanchen after a short while. She had already left Yunzhong City and was heading back to the black market headquarters.

“Administrator Print and Yue Shuzi from the state of Tiantai have learned what happened here. They’ll take action soon,” Huang Yanchen said.

“Then let’s see the skills of the imperial government and the black market. Let’s drink.”

Zhang Ruochen raised his wine glass and drank with Zhu Hongtao, Wan Ke, and Huang Yanchen.

The city where the black market headquarters was located had dark clouds above it all the time. It looked like a ghost town from the netherworld. Those who couldn’t tell time well had no sense of the difference between nighttime and daytime.

Prince Xia stood on the stairs in Xingyun Mansion, looking at the dark clouds from afar. He looked worried.

Huangtian Crown Princess was wearing golden armor, looking heroic. She asked, “What’s wrong, uncle?”

“I can feel that something’s happening,” Prince Xia said.

“What’s happening?” Huangtian Crown Princess asked.

“I can’t say it for certain, but I can sense that a danger is drawing near,” Prince Xia said.

The more powerful a creature was, the more sensitive its senses were, and the easier it became for it to sense dangers.

It was the ability of connecting saints. They would run away before the danger arrived.

The invisible danger made Prince Xia repressed. He had never felt this way before, which was why he gave an order. “All the monks from Huangtian Tribe, leave Xingyun Mansion now. We can’t stay here anymore.”

Prince Xia led Huangtian Crown Princess to leave Xingyun Mansion. However, the second they stepped through the door, they felt that a spinning power was upon them.

That power destroyed the rules of sky and land, turning the sky and land upside down.

“Destruction of Tianxuan.”

Prince Xia was dazed. His cape waved. Weng. After that it emanated golden light that was shinier than the sun, disrupting that spinning power.

And then, Prince Xia grabbed the arms of Huangtian Crown Princess, and they retreated back to Xingyun Mansion.

Huangtian Crown Princess was very close to the state of saint, and she could rival a lower-class saint, yet she had still been injured by that spinning power just now.

Fortunately, Prince Xia was powerful enough to protect her, otherwise, she would’ve been torn into pieces.

“Who refined Destruction of Tianxuan to this level?” Huangtian Crown Princess’s heart pounded rapidly, and her legs couldn’t help shaking.

Only monks who practiced ‘Tianxuan Demonic Heart Picture’ in ‘Heavenly Devil Stone Inscription’ could practice Destruction of Tianxuan.

Only a few monks in Kunlun’s Field were able to destroy rules of sky and land and to turn them upside down.

Prince Xia looked at the streets outside.

“Da Da.”

A short and chubby old man walked out in the dark.

The old man was pretty well-dressed, with a golden-thread cape and a jade belt buckle. However, he was only five feet, three inches tall.

Two black-caped monks who were seven feet tall were following him. They were wearing caps, dragging their capes behind them. They wore golden masks, and appeared forceful.

Huangtian Crown Princess felt the two suffocating forces coming at them. She said, “Impressive. They’re definitely top-tier great beings within the state of saint.”

“Those are two door gods from the black market headquarters of the state of Tiantai. Demonic Eye Saint and Ghost Claw Saint,” Prince Xia said.

“It’s them. No wonder I feel so oppressed.”

Huangtian Crown Princess missed a heartbeat. She had heard of those two saints before as they were human powerful beings who had killed more than one other saint.

Prince Xia sneered and said, “They’re not the real extraordinary ones. That shopkeeper is.”

Prince Xia pointed at the short and chubby old man walking in front of Demonic Eye Saint and Ghost Claw Saint.

The short and chubby elder seemed to sense something. He looked up and smiled kindly as if he had just met an old friend. He said, “Why didn’t you tell me you came from state of Tiantai? I should’ve treated you like a real guest.”

Prince Xia sneered and said, “You must’ve refined the fifteenth level of ‘Tianxuan Demonic Heart Picture’ already. No wonder you’re favored by the Demonic Emperor. I’ve been wanting to see the real power of your Destruction of Tianxuan, but I’ve never gotten the chance.”

“Here’s your chance.”

The Shopkeeper spun his arms as he spoke.

The pupils of Demonic Eye Saint became larger and larger, filling his entire eyes as if they were two black holes.

Hua.

Two black pillars gushed out of the eyes of Demonic Eye Saint, and lightning shuttled back and forth among the light pillars. They had terrifying tearing power.

In an instant, all the buildings along the street turned into dust. Even the defense formation couldn’t resist that power.

Zhang Ruochen put his hands behind his back at the top of a thirteen-floor-tall black tower, looking at Xingyun Mansion. He saw two light pillars rushing forward, destroying everything. He was thrilled. “How powerful Demonic Eye Saint is.”

Wan Ke looked serious and said, “Demonic Eye Saint and Ghost Claw Saint are the door gods of the black market headquarters in the state of Tiantai. They help the shopkeeper deal with all the issues in the evil way. Even the master of Tianluo Sect will salute them. They’re certainly immensely powerful.”

Huang Yanchen said, “The shopkeeper only brings two door gods, yet he dares go to Xingyun Mansion. He’s definitely very confident in his power.”

The guarding formation of Xingyun Mansion was opened. Crimson light pillars gushed out of the slates, walls, buildings, and ponds. They were connected with each other thirty feet above the ground, forming a half-oval light screen.

Hong Long.

The two traces of black pillars hit the guarding formation.

The ground outside the mansion cracked and started to sink. Xingyun Mansion was still standing there, emanating bloody light.

The shopkeeper looked at the broken land and got a bit worried.

He realized that he needed to end the fight as soon as possible, otherwise, it would be a huge loss to the black market headquarters.

“Activate Great Four Silence Formation and annihilate everything in Xingyun Mansion.” The shopkeeper transmitted his voice, which echoed in the sky and land.

All seventy-two formation towers were activated, releasing destructive and horrifying forces.

Clusters of heated clouds were formed at the top of each formation tower. All seventy-two fiery clouds hung in the sky. They were burning and permeating, tainting the dark city red.

“The Great Four Silence Formation was activated. What’s happening? Are the armies from the imperial government coming to attack us again?”

“All the seventy-two formation towers have been activated. Something major must be happening.”

…

The evil way monks in the black market headquarters had no idea what was going on. They were all in a panic.

The sect masters of the evil way powers were all very calm. They had known before what was going on, so they all performed their physical techniques and raced toward Xingyun Mansion.

Prince Xia knew the power of Great Four Silence Formation. Once the formation was completely activated, the monks from Huangtian Tribe would definitely be annihilated.

“We have no choice but to fight our way out.”

Three pairs of silver wings emerged on the back of Prince Xia. Each wing was more than sixty feet long, and it was as if they were made of silver, giving off a metal luster.

Prince Xia spread his wings, ascending to the sky with Huangtian Crown Princess like a light pillar.

The immortal vampire saints gathering in Xingyun Mansion also led teams of blood spirit guards to fight their way out of the city.

They tried to get out of the black market headquarters before the Great Four Silence Formation was completely activated.

“Do you really think you can run?”

The shopkeeper stared at Prince Xia and Huangtian Crown Princess flying in the sky. He spread his arms, and engravings emerged from a palm. Each engraving turned into mountains and rivers.

“Sky and Land Spin.”

In an instant, the space of one thousand square miles shook, and the sky and land were both turned upside down with the land becoming the sky and the sky becoming the land.

Prince Xia and Huangtian Crown Princess, who were flying out, were trapped in a huge whirlpool. They couldn’t move at all.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes gleamed upon seeing this, and he recalled another space trick.

If he could refine that trick, he could spin the sky and land as well, and that transformation was more complete.

“Damn it, Destruction of Tianxuan again.”

Prince Xia was a bit upset. He glared at the shopkeeper down there, and then, he wielded holy power and hit the back of Huangtian Crown Princess. He said, “Your highness, please go first. Go find Mr. Mu Qian. I’ll go fight that shopkeeper.”

Hua!

With the boost of holy power, Huangtian Crown Princess got several times faster and rushed out of the Great Four Silence Formation.

“Don’t you dare run!”

Zhang Ruochen was standing at the top of the thirteen-level black tower with his legs open. He took out Blue Sky Bow and Shining Sun Arrow. He drew the bow and aimed at Huangtian Crown Princess, who was flying in the sky.
