1553 Bring Lord Liaosang Under Control

The assassination failed completely after King Hun and Wu Hao died.

Mu Lingxi, Wen Shusheng, and Su Qingling took the healing pills, sat on the ground, and used their techniques to recover.

The purple formation disappeared, and the clouds dissipated, showing the sky and the clouds. Only an eye-piercing light spot was still floating in the sky.

It was the 'Merits Godly Stamp' mentioned by King Hun, and it had mysterious power which could crush monks' saint figure runes.

Zhang Ruochen couldn't be more curious about the Merits Godly Stamp, so he mobilized saintly way power and tried to grab it.

The Merits Godly Stamp started to shake as if another power was on it, trying to seize it from Zhang Ruochen.

"Spatial twist."

Zhang Ruochen pressed both his hands forward.

The space trembled fiercely, and at the next moment, the Merits Godly Stamp fell into Zhang Ruochen's hand. It looked like a circular token with a five-colored cluster of air inside. It looked like a glowing nebula without mythical power.

Zhang Ruochen released Divine Fire Jingmie to suppress the Merits Godly Stamp, trying to refine it. Meanwhile, he looked to a direction in the distance and said, "I'll take this Merits Godly Stamp!"

Shang Ziyan clenched his hand, standing at the top of a snow mountain thousands of miles away. His eyes glinted fiercely, and he said, "Go, let's leave Liku Sacred Domain now."

Fire Soul Woman Tian Yu said, "Are we going to let it go like this?"

Shang Ziyan tried not to show any negativity. He said calmly, "I miscalculated this time as I didn't expect the leader of Liku Sacred Domain to be a supreme saint, and it seems he's close to Zhang Ruochen."

If someone was able to control his indignation, he was definitely a deep and ruthless person.

Which made him the scariest person.

"But Wang Xu, Tian Shu, and Tian Miao are still in their hands. Are we just going to let them go?" Fire Soul Woman asked.

Shang Ziyan said, "I've already passed the word to Ruiya Field. The great beings will definitely try to save Xu given his identity and talent. As for Tian Shu and Tian Miao, I'll do my best to save them as long as they don't betray me."

Shang Ziyan didn't mention that he would kill them both if Tian Shu and Tian Miao turned on him.

This was the first time Shang Ziyan suffered such a huge blow, as he had lost both his soldiers and his weapon, yet he had to deal with it.

"We'll see if you can be so lucky next time, Zhang Ruochen. We'll meet in Truth Godly Palace." Shang Ziyan gazed into the distance and left with Fire Soul Woman and the others.

He didn't have an option, as the leader of Liku Sacred Domain was a mind power supreme saint. Even if they had the valuables to cover their forces, they might be spotted.

The best plan was to leave Wang Xu, Tian Miao, and Tian Shu and get out of Liku Sacred Domain.

After leaving Liku Sacred Domain, Shang Ziyan gave three orders.

"Fire Soul Woman, send someone to find out information about the leader of Liku Sacred Domain and that woman in purple. The more detailed, the better.

"Wood Soul Woman, head to Soul Field and tell King Daxi that King Hun was killed, and Yi Huang Bone Scepter fell into Zhang Ruochen's hands."]

"Mud Soul Woman, head to Zhixu Saint Market and give a list of everyone related to Zhang Ruochen to Heavenly Assassination Organization. Tell them to kill as many as they can, and we'll pay them double. We need to make him pay for what he did."

…

Sky-Sealing Glass Dome was floating in the sky. It could cover a space of hundreds of square miles.

Zhang Ruochen was just about to ask Ling Feiyu to ask Ling Xiu to deal with Lord Liaosang. Suddenly, he saw a huge saint hand form above the cloud and seize Sky-Sealing Glass Dome.

Cough Cough.

Only then did Zhang Ruochen see Ling Xiu standing nearby.

Ling Xiu was a mind power monk without any saintly way forces, so Zhang Ruochen didn't notice him before.

Ling Xiu looked very sick from his appearance, and he had a hairpin to do his hair. The monks who didn't know him would've never guessed he was a mind power supreme saint.

At this moment, Ling Xiu was studying the Sky-Sealing Glass Dome.

On the other side, the area covered by Sky-Sealing Glass Dome was revealed.

The entire area was scorched, and all the mountains were leveled, and there were some horrifying gullies on the ground with burning flames.

Su Jing was beaten back to his original form, which was a Nine Spirits Divine Bird. He was only using his nine feathers to survive.

Lord Liaosang mobilized his flames to refine the original nine feathers, yet Sky-Sealing Glass Dome was taken away right before he succeeded.

Ling Xiu looked at them and said, "How dare you trespass in Liku Sacred Domain to kill people? Are you insulting me?"

Lord Liaosang looked to Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi, and he saw King Hun, who was dead in the blood. "Damn it, the leader of Liku Sacred Domain is a mind power supreme saint. Why didn't Shang Ziyan tell me earlier?"

Lord Liaosang lost all his might and fighting spirit in front of a supreme saint. He immediately triggered tens of thousands of saintly way rules to protect himself.

Run. He had to run.

"Mist Run."

Lord Liaosang turned into a cluster of demonic mist and disintegrated into more than a hundred traces. Some flew up to the sky while some sneaked underground.

Mist Run was the best fleeing skill Lord Liaosang knew. Even if only half the demonic mist managed to get away, he would be able to condense his original body. Even if only one trace of demonic mist got out, he could get back to his current level. It'd just take some time.

Even supreme saints would find it difficult to block all the demonic mist.

Ling Xiu took a look at Sky-Sealing Glass Dome in his hand, smiled, and flicked it away.

Sky-Sealing Glass Dome covered a larger area this time, and the saintly way rules became denser. This time, Sky-Sealing Glass Dome exerted ten times stronger power.

None of the traces of demonic mist managed to get out, so they had to form a body again.

Lord Liaosang couldn't hate Shang Ziyan more. If Shang Ziyan didn't give him Sky-Sealing Glass Dome, he would've made it out safe already.

Lord Liaosang knew he wouldn't be able to get away, so he kneeled on the ground. "Please, supreme saint. Spare my life."

Ling Xiu walked into Sky-Sealing Glass Dome to Lord Liaosang. He pointed at the front, and then, Lord Liaosang's body became larger and larger, turning back to its original form.

It was a black beast that was more than seventy miles long. It looked like a leopard, yet its head was covered by thorns, which made it ferocious.

"Give me a trace of your original saint soul and become my ride. Do you want it?" Ling Xiu said.

He sounded very calm, yet to Lord Liaosang, it was deafening. To him, Ling Xi's body looked like it was a hundred thousand feet tall, and his saintly way forces didn't allow Lord Liaosang to resist at all.

"I… I do."

Lord Liaosang gave Ling Xiu a trace of his original saint soul.

From now on, its life and mind were both in Ling Xiu's control.

It was a saddening thing for a ninth-step saint king, yet it was the only way for it to survive. After all, Lord Liaosang wasn't someone like Death Zen Ancestor, and a supreme saint was able to suppress him with a finger.

After refining Merits Godly Stamp completely, Zhang Ruochen walked toward Tian Shu and Tian Miao. He said, "I know you're here because of Shang Ziyan's order. As long as you can identify Shang Ziyan and let the heavenly rules punish him, I won't ascertain your responsibilities."

Tian Miao and Tiao Shu knew how terrific the power behind Shang Ziyan was. If they dared identity Shang Ziyan, they would've been annihilated before they saw the heavenly rules.

Even if the heavenly rules punished Shang Ziyan, the power behind him would make their lives a living hell.

They took a look at each other and both looked desperate.

Zhang Ruochen immediately wielded two saint-binding chains, trying to use their power to prevent them from blowing up their saint sources and lower abdomens.

Unfortunately, it was one step too late. Two great saintly way powers gushed out of their bodies.

Ling Xiu looked in that direction. He didn't attack them at all. Instead, he released mind power and restrained the energy storm coming out of Tian Shu's and Tian Miao's explosion to less than one hundred square feet.

Boom!

Two saintly way powers tumbled in that small area.

If it weren't for Ling Xiu, the destructive power from Tian Shu and Tian Miao could've killed a third-step saint king.

"I should've been more careful. Can't believe they'd rather blow themselves up than identify Shang Ziyan." Zhang Ruochen shook his head.

"Even I, as a mind power supreme saint, didn't expect them to blow themselves up. After all, they were gold spirit and water spirit without families and clans. Why would they be restrained by others? Unless…"

Zhang Ruochen said, "Unless the power behind Shang Ziyan was so great that they had to blow up their saint sources instead of being alive."

Ling Xiu was a mind power supreme saint, which meant he could've used his mind power to prevent them from blowing up their saint sources if he was alerted.

Unfortunately, both Zhang Ruochen and Ling Xiu underestimated Shang Ziyan's control over them and their fear of Shang Ziyan.

Zhang Ruochen's eyes glinted, and he looked to Lord Liaosang.

Lord Liaosang knew what Zhang Ruochen meant. He said, "It's useless. Shang Ziyan did ask me to kill you guys, but I never knew him before, and he didn't leave any evidence of us meeting. Even if we go accuse him, with the power behind Shang Ziyan and Merits Godly Palace, those who enforce the heavenly rules will only trust him."

"It seems the power behind Shang Ziyan terrifies even you," Zhang Ruochen said.

Lord Liaosang smiled. "If you knew how strong your enemy is, you would be terrified too."
