Chapter 1588: Encirclement

“I see. That’s good.”

After hearing what Swallow said, a thought hit Zhang Ruochen. He nodded and stopped thinking about going to Yin and Yang Palace, deciding to head back to Swallow Palace Cave.

He didn’t stay in Swallow Palace Cave for a long time. Zhang Ruochen used space power to dodge Swallow and get out of the cave without being noticed.

Zhang Ruochen firstly went to the square to comprehend the pictures of the Way of Truth, but he didn’t see Hundred Flower Fairy, Ji Fanxin, in the square. Instead, he saw two seniors from Thousand Pistil Field sitting at two ends of the square, seeming to protect the young monks who were comprehending the pictures.

Has Fairy Extreme King figured out who Shang Feng is and decided to get rid of him tonight?

Zhang Ruochen thought so. He disappeared from the flower ocean, heading toward the cave where Shang Feng was.

…

Xuanyu Cave.

A saint maiden told Shang Feng, “Lord Fairy Extreme King has closed the gate of Hundred Flower Palace and opened the guarding formation. Something’s about to happen today.”

“I know. Leave me now!”

Shang Feng looked very solemn, which scared that maiden.

Shangfeng King was always very easygoing. What happened to him today?

Shang Feng started to get anxious and tense after the maiden left. He said to himself, “Did Fairy Extreme King figure out who I am?”

Shang Feng had already noticed something strange that had happened lately. Every time he wanted to leave Hundred Flower Palace, he would be stopped by Fairy Extreme King for all sorts of reasons.

He also didn’t get any replies for all the messages he sent out.

He always assumed the best and regarded everything as a coincidence. After all, there was no way the monks from Thousand Pistil Field could figure out he was a spy from Black Demon Field.

What happened tonight was just too unusual.

“Did I expose myself when I went see Qiong Ling. I can’t sit here and wait for them to capture me.”

Shang Feng walked into a secret chamber in his refining cave and took out a magic pot. He stroked the magic pot’s surface, and blood-red inscriptions emerged.

Shang Feng immediately calmed down holding the magic pot.

“If Fairy Extreme King tries to stop me, I’ll fight my way out.”

Shang Feng then put the magic pot into his sleeves, turned on the formation of Xuanyu Cave, and walked out.

He immediately stopped walking when he got out of the cave. He saw the light outside, shining up in the sky. There were fifty-four saint lamps floating in the sky, surrounding the entire Xuanyu Cave.

Fairy Extreme King stood under the lamps with his hands behind his back, staring at Shang Feng walking out as if he’d been waiting for a long time.

“Where are you going, Blood Demonic Emperor Son?”

Shang Feng tried to look calm as he wasn’t intimidated. He asked, “What are you talking about, Guardian King? I don’t understand.”

Fairy Extreme King sneered, looking into the darkness. And then, an old man with a beard walked out, took out a book, and threw it toward Shang Feng.

“What’s the point of quibbling? I’ve discovered everything about you,” said the man with a white bead.

The old man with a white beard was named ‘Shang Gutong,’ and was the fifth-step saint king bringing the dragon soul and the elephant soul to Hundred Flower Palace. Also, he came from the same race as Shang Feng did.

Shang Feng didn’t pick up the book on the ground. Instead, he smiled and said, “Who else is here? Come out, everyone.”

Three beings showed up in the dark, and they were the three seniors from Hundred Flower Palace, Treasure Inspector Qian Liwen, Peony King and Heavenly Fire King.

Heavenly Fire King was a Heavenly Fire Demonic Butterfly flying in the sky, and his wings covered the sky above them.

Qian Liwen was holding a saint scepter, standing in the distance and looking dim.

Peony King was a curvy and beautiful woman with a peony-shaped ornament on her forehead. She stood at the top of Xuanyu Cave, staring at Shang Feng coldly.

“Now that you’re here, I’ll get rid of you all.”

Shang Feng knew that the other seniors were nothing, but Fairy Extreme King was terrifically powerful. He had to use the magic pot to fight him.

“Let me see how powerful this Blood Demonic Emperor Son is.”

The old man with a beard made a claw shape with his hand, and his saint Qi was released. The entire space turned into a saint Qi ocean, tumbling and making rumbling sounds.

More than a thousand saintly way rules flew out, merging with his claws.

“Empty Ocean Demon-Killing Claw.”

The two sharp claws pierced through the saint Qi ocean, dashing toward Shang Feng.

“Careful.”

Fairy Extreme King sensed a tumbling demonic Qi coming out of Shang Feng. He was dazed, and he rushed out and tried to drag Shang Gutong back.

Unfortunately, when he was only a hundred feet away from Shang Gutong, black demonic Qi gushed out and shattered Shang Gutong’s body into pieces.

Fairy Extreme King took out a crimson shield and pushed it forward.

Boom!

The golden shield suddenly turned into a giant fiery shield, protecting Fairy Extreme King from the black demonic Qi.

Fairy Extreme King looked to the giant fiery shield, and he saw Shang Feng holding a demonic pot, from which the demonic shadow of a butterfly flew out.

That demonic shadow was able to kill a fifth-step saint king with just a breath, showing how forceful it was.

“You refined the saint soul of Thousand Universe Demonic Master into a pot for you to use? How evil you are.” Fairy Extreme King clenched his teeth and couldn’t be more indignant.

Thousand Universe Demonic Master was a great being from Heavenly Fire Demonic Butterfly clan, and he was one step away from becoming a supreme saint. Even if he was only a battle soul, he was still strong enough to intimidate Fairy Extreme King, an eighth-step saint king.

“Anyone who tries to stop me, die.”

Shang Feng tried to storm out of Hundred Flower Palace, holding Thousand Universe Magic Pot.

“Don’t you dare.”

Fairy Extreme King breathed out saint Qi like a storm. Suddenly, all the fifty-four saint lamps released thousand-patterns destruction, suppressing Shang Feng.

It was a set of saint lamps, and they were all high-class thousand-patterns saint weapons. The lamp formation was strong enough to trap even a ninth-step saint king.

Whoosh!

Shang Feng spit out blood before the lamp formation even touched him.

“Fairy Extreme King is indeed powerful. Even with Thousand Universe Demonic Pot, I’m not his match.” Shng Feng was withholding a lot of pressure. His hair turned into black liquid, and his skin started to melt.

Boom!

The demonic phantom wielded a tumbling attack power behind Shang Feng, crashing the formation of Hundred Flower Palace, making a hole in the formation wall.

Shang Feng was pleased to see that. He said, “Thousand Universe Demonic Master, ward off Fairy Extreme King for me.”

The demonic shadow stepped back, spread its wings, and fought the lamp formation from Fairy Extreme King.

After getting rid of the suppression from the lamp formation, Shang Feng immediately performed a body technique and rushed out of Hundred Flower Palace.

“Stop him! Don’t let him get away!” Fairy Extreme King yelled.

Heavenly Fire King, Peony King, and Qian Liwen all performed attack techniques, trying to hit the hole in the formation and the back of Shang Feng, crashing into the protection dome around him.

Peony King turned into a trace of light, going around the lamp formation and the demonic shadow and rushing toward the formation hole.

After a while, Fairy Extreme King used the lamp formation to suppress the demonic shadow, looking at Peony King coming back, and asking, “Did you kill him?”

Peony King shook his head and said, “He has the seed of Truth and Illusion Saint Flower, so he immediately vanished after getting out of Hundred Flower Palace.”

“Damn it.”

Fairy Extreme King trampled the ground, shaking half the Hundred Flower Palace.

Qian Liwen sighed. “Who could’ve expected Shang Feng has the saint soul of Thousand Universe Demonic Master. Otherwise, there’s no way a fifth-step saint king like him could break the guarding formation of Hundred Flower Palace.”

The seniors from Hundred Flower Palace didn’t notice that two more people had rushed out before Peony King when Shang Feng rushed out of the hole.

However, the two had used some special skills to cover their forces.

One of them was Zhang Ruochen, who used Buddha beads.

Zhang Ruochen was watching the fight from the distance the whole time. He thought Fairy Extreme King and his team had an absolute advantage over Shang Feng, so he didn’t plan to make an attack at all.

Until he saw Shang Feng escape Hundred Flower Palace, when Zhang Ruochen immediately chased him, as he couldn’t allow him to survive.

As for the other being who was following Zhang Ruochen, even Zhang Ruochen didn’t notice her with his level fifty-five mind power.

…

Shang Feng was severely injured and bleeding like hell. Fortunately, he had the seed of True and Illusion Saint Flower, forming a hollow phantom to cover his body and forces, which was how he tricked Peony King.

“Fairy Extreme King, Peony King, Heavenly Fire King… I’ll avenge myself for today.” Shang Feng’s eyes gleamed with anger, yet his body was hurting him. He picked the roads where only a few were walking and rushed toward Yin and Yang Palace as fast as possible.

Suddenly, Shang Feng stopped, looking at the front. He saw a man in white staring at him fiercely.

“It’s you.”
