The Princess Luosha met Zhang Ruochen’s eyes. She was actually a bit awkward. Thankfully, she had a mask. Otherwise, she wouldn’t know how to hide it.

This time, she’d indeed miscalculated and almost embarrassed herself.

Suspicion colored Zhang Ruochen’s eyes. “You’ve already reached the Saint King Realm for Spiritual Power?”

“So what?”

The Luosha Princess stuck up her chest. She stood straight and tall again. Her strong presence appeared again.

“The Zuling Field is a battleground of the Saints Merits Battle,” Zhang Ruochen said. “Neither martial or Spiritual Power Saint Kings are qualified to participate.”

The Luosha Princess was confused. The two had just linked their Spiritual Power. Even she hadn’t recovered fully, but the other seemed to have nothing happen to him. Instead, he started doubting her identity.

Did this guy have no feelings?

“After I came to the merits battlefield, my Spiritual Power finally broke into the 55th level. Is that okay?” The Luosha Princess spoke with frustration, the whites of her eyes showing.

In the distance, the nine-headed bird’s eyes kept rolling around. It was confused. The princess was a bit strange today. Her emotional changes were too big. She didn’t have her usual calm.

Zhang Ruochen naturally couldn’t have felt nothing from the linkage earlier.

However, Zhang Ruochen didn’t think that the Luosha Princess actually liked him. He felt that she was doing this for another motive.

Whether looking at the Luosha Princess’s strong cultivation, extreme beauty, or mysterious thoughts, it all showed that she wasn’t a simple woman. She wouldn’t fall for anyone easily.

What is she plotting?

Zhang Ruochen hurriedly activated his Spiritual Power to check inside and indeed found something amiss. There was a strand of foreign Qi in his Spiritual Power saint soul.

That strand of Qi was almost completely melded into the saint soul. If he wasn’t careful, he wouldn’t have noticed at all.

Such a strange strand of Qi. When did it enter my Spiritual Power saint soul? Could it have been from the linkage?

The Qi was very dangerous. It kept changing position like a snake. It also contained a strange force and seemed to be assimilating his saint soul.

Right then, Zhang Ruochen was quite sure that the Luosha Princess had left the Qi inside him. It was possibly the reason why she forced him to link their Spiritual Power.

So calculative.

Zhang Ruochen moved the Divine Fire Jingmie into his saint heart. He would refine the Qi in his saint soul.

It was fortunate that he wasn’t narcissistic. If he really thought that the Luosha Princess liked him, he would probably become her puppet by the time the Qi assimilated his saint soul.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t immediately expose her. He planned on going with it. Making the Luosha Princess think that he was under her control was not be a bad thing.

Bu Ji was a simple man. He didn’t notice the strange atmosphere. His blazing eyes stared at the black and white saint stone underfoot. “Is Ning True Saint Dew really from this jade stone? Then doesn’t that mean it’s the spring of Ning True Saint Dew?”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “This stone can produce Ning True Saint Dew because it has a very advanced formation rune carved onto it. It can transform the mountain’s mysterious power into Ning True Saint Dew.

“In other words, the spring of Ning True Saint Dew is the mountain, not this stone.”

Bu Ji was instantly disappointed. Unsatisfied, he asked, “Then, what is the mountain’s mysterious power?”

“I don’t know.” Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “Perhaps, it comes from the Phoenix Nest.”

In the days where Zhang Ruochen and the Luosha Princess were trapped, the Holy Carnivorous Flower reached the Absolute Saint Realm. Its aura was no weaker than the nine-headed bird.

The fruit at the top of the vine was densely covered in golden lines. It was getting closer to maturity.

Three days ago, the Holy Carnivorous Flower had collected more than 16,000 drops of Ning True Saint Dew in the dark space. Now, a green leaf opened up on the vine. Ning True Saint Dew fell down like rain. Zhang Ruochen collected it in a treasure.

This way, Zhang Ruochen had more than 30,000 drops of Ning True Saint Dew.

Mu Lingxi, Su Qingling, Bu Ji, and Qing Mo also had more than 10,000 drops of Ning True Saint Dew. This was undoubtedly a huge harvest for them.

Under Zhang Ruochen’s strong recommendation, Mu Lignxi and Qing Mo entered the space crystal to cultivate. Time was four times faster inside the world. With their large amounts of Ning True Saint Dew, they could improve quickly if they focused on cultivating.

Of course, the main reason was that it would get more dangerous up ahead. Zhang Ruochen was a bit worried, so he had them improve first.

After the black and white space were shattered, the canyon was unobstructed. It connected to the ancient mountain.

Looking past the canyon, one could see the peak of another mountain.

Zhang Ruochen looked into the distance. “After passing this canyon, we should reach the 33 center mountains.”

“So we’re getting closer to the Merits Record Wall?” Bu Ji looked happy.

“Yes.”

“Then, what are we waiting for? Let’s go. The other three walls had already been destroyed. If we get this one, we’ll control the entire Saints Merits Battle.”

Zhang Ruochen, Bu Ji, and Su Qingling didn’t hesitate. They started walking toward the other end.

The Luosha Princess stared at the black and white stone embedded into the canyon with a thoughtful expression. She wanted to take them and study the spatial runes.

Her Holy Qi spun quickly and flooded into her demonic eyes. Then two beams of light flew out of her eyes. They hit the mountain on either side, producing deafening booms.

Hearing the noise, Zhang Ruochen hurriedly stopped and looked back. He had a serious expression. “What is she doing? The mountain is so dangerous and she still dared to make such a commotion? Is it worth it for a saint stone?”

The spatial runes on the stone were indeed abstruse and very valuable for both research and comprehension. However, it was too dangerous here. Destroying the structure so brazenly could lure out danger.

Of course, Zhang Ruochen was thinking from his own point of view. The Luosha Princess didn’t have the Time and Space Secret Guide like him. She couldn’t cultivate in the Space Divine Pavilion either. If she wanted to study the Way of Space, she had to keep searching and collecting by herself.

She would obviously take the stone since she encountered it.

The walls on either side kept falling down. The stone started loosening. But great coldness poured out from under it.

“Oh, no.”

Zhang Ruochen’s expression changed. He used the Spatial Move and appeared to the right of the Luosha Princess. “Hurry and leave,” he ordered.

The Luosha Princess didn’t listen to his urge. She continued attacking. Finally, the stone fell free from the wall, separating from the mountain.

Her eyes narrowed. She was about to collect the black and white stone—

Rumble.

Suddenly, a great amount of Pluto Winter Water flooded out from under the stone. Like a black flood, it whooshed toward her and Zhang Ruochen.

Pluto Winter Water was extremely cold water. Even a regular Saint King would fear it and not dare to touch it.

Piercing screams traveled from the water. A large amount of Pluto Ice Jade Scorpions rushed out, attacking Zhang Ruochen and the Luosha Princess first.

Merely looking at adult scorpions, there were already more than 20.

Faced with such a situation, even the Luosha Princess grew fearful. Her eyes were unnatural.

Zhang Ruochen was long prepared. He pointed and uttered, “Spatial Collapse.”

Dozens of spatial cracks appeared in the space before them. The space started collapsing where the cracks met. It transformed into a huge black hole that swallowed the black and white stone and the Pluto Winter Water.

At the same time, Zhang Ruochen slapped forward with two Divine Fire Jingmie fireballs. The canyon instantly grew scalding. Rocks melted and steam rose up. The scorpions were forced back.

When the space recovered and stabilized, the scorpions that were still alive ducked into the walls. They disappeared from the canyon.

Finally, Zhang Ruochen let out a relieved sigh. He turned and walked toward the other end.

The Luosha Princess hurried over. Putting up an annoyed expression, she said, “I wanted to collect the black and white stone and study the spatial runes. Why did you destroy it?”

“Couldn’t you see that the mountain contains large amounts of Pluto Winter Water?” Zhang Ruochen asked. “If you collected the stone, the water would flood out. The water also nurtures destructive scorpions. Can you take it if large amounts of scorpions come out?”

The Luosha Princess wasn’t grateful at all. As if pretending to want to argue, she said, “My cultivation is very strong. I can obviously take it. Who needs your help?”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to keep arguing. He felt like she was too naïve. She liked to show her strong side and never admit defeat.

Seeing Zhang Ruochen ignore him, the Luosha Princess took the initiative and said, “You were pretty handsome just then. You acted decisively and much stronger than before. Did you reach the middle True Saint Realm now?”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t reply. He picked up his pace.

When they exited the canyon, Zhang Ruochen finally reunited with Bu Ji and Su Qingling.

The two had walked to the edge of the steep abyss. Looking into the distance, they grew excited. Zhang Ruochen also followed their eyes. Two towering flame mountains entered his vision.

One of the mountains had a Merits Record Wall at the top. Even hundreds of miles away, he could see the white saintly light shining from the wall.
