Every saint would refine a God-connecting technique and an escape technique so that they could survive in the sky and on land.
When they performed God-connecting techniques, they could exert power that was ten times stronger than their own, with a huge price.
Even though the only thing Liao Teng had was a head, he could still exert power several times stronger than his prime after performing God-connecting techniques. Even a senior mid-class saint needed to dodge it.
Qing Mo flew out, flicking a trace of blue fire, burning all the bloody Qi flying toward the head of Liao Teng to the ground.

Wuliang Divine Fire… Can’t believe there’s someone this powerful in Secret Dragon Palace.



Liao Teng was shocked to his very core. He realized that he didn’t stand a chance. He stopped trying to kill Zhang Ruochen and drove his head, trying to use his escape technique to go away.
However, the gap between his power and Qing Mo’s was enormous. There was no way that he could escape.
A blue vine flew out and dragged him back. Hong! The burning head fell into the garden of Secret Dragon Palace.
Chi Chi.
The fire on his head burned everything to the ground.

Don’t you even think about catching me. I’ll take all of you down.

Liao Teng didn’t want to be humiliated. He yelled, triggering the saintly source in his abdomen and prepared to make his saintly source and abdomen explode.
Zhang Ruochen pointed forward, and the Abyss Ancient Sword made an ear-piercing sound, flying to the ground. Hong Long. It pierced through the head of Liao Teng and crushed his saintly soul.
Abyss Ancient Sword was stuck into the ground with blood dripping. It was still trembling, emanating traces of black light.
Zhang Ruochen landed on the ground like a leaf, staring at the head that had been divided into halves. He sighed,
I originally wanted to interrogate him about some information about immortal vampires, yet I put everyone in danger. That was too dangerous. I can’t recklessly try to catch a saint in the future anymore.



Qing Mo pouted and said,
Actually, the saintly source of Liao Teng contains most of his memories. If you can refine that, you can not only seize his saintly way comprehension, but also learn a lot of secrets.

Zhang Ruochen put his Abyss Ancient Sword away and found the saintly source of Liao Teng from the blood-red mud.
Zhang Ruochen knew what Qing Mo meant.
However, using others’ saintly sources to become a saint was still inferior to making a saintly source that belonged to him. Only after making a saintly source that belonged to him could his saintly way reach the perfect level.
Besides, if Zhang Ruochen really wanted to refine a saintly source, he would’ve refined the sarira of Emperor Buddha, which was thousands of times better than the saintly source of Liao Teng.
Zhang Ruochen heard Carnivorous Holy Flower say to him,
Zhang Ruochen, give the saintly source of Liao Teng to me as nutrients, then I can reach the state of saint, and I’ll tell you all the secrets Liao Teng knows.


You’re only motivated after seeing the saintly source. Where were you when I was fighting Liao Teng?

Zhang Ruochen didn’t want Carnivorous Holy Flower to become a saint yet. He held the saintly source and looked to Ji Shui. He finally became less tense and smiled.
Uncle Ji, now that you’ve learned who I really am, you only have two options.


One, work for me, then I’ll give you the saintly source of Liao Teng and help you reach the state of saint.


Two…



Before Zhang Ruochen finished talking, Ji Shui made a decision:
I choose one.

Zhang Ruochen was dazed that Ji Shui agreed without any hesitation.
Ji Shui pursed her lips and said,
Option two is for me to die. Actually, I don’t have a choice at all, do I?

Zhang Ruochen said,
Uncle Ji, you’re such a charming woman. How could I kill you? I just wanted to erase some of your memories if you said no.

If it were Gu Linfeng who said something like that, Ji Shui wouldn’t have believed it at all. Instead, she would feel disgusted and find that Gu Linfeng was taking liberties with her.
However, after she learned that Gu Linfeng was Zhang Ruochen, she started to trust Zhang Ruochen completely. Not only did she not feel gross, she found him to be a gentleman.
With the help of Zhang Ruochen, Ji Shui refined the saintly source of Liao Teng in a short time, and her cultivation reached level-nine half saint.
After absorbing a fraction of Liao Teng’s memories, Ji Shui learnt something major, and her face instantly turned pale.

I can’t believe there’re so many immortal vampires in Blood God Sect. If they turn against us, the repercussions will be disastrous.

Ji Shui told Zhang Ruochen all the secrets she had learned.


Ji Shui thought that Zhang Ruochen would be just as shocked as she was, yet Zhang Ruochen was still very calm as if he had known it for a long time.
Zhang Ruochen frowned and said,
That means the palace ruler of Disorder Heavenly Palace, Yu Huacheng, and Discipline King Diyuan, Kong Yi, are both immortal vampires.

Ji Shui said the names of some of the immortal vampire spies, and the most important information was to confirm the identity of the palace ruler of the Disorder Heavenly Palace and Discipline King Diyan.
These two were both high-profile members of Blood God Sect. Both of them were leading an enormous power. If either of them was exposed, it would lead to great turmoil.
It would not only lead to turmoil in Blood God Sect, but also lead to turmoil in the state of Tiantai.
Liao Teng didn’t know many spies. He only knew of around twenty immortal vampire spies who were more powerful than half saints, much fewer than those on the list prepared by Zhang Ruochen.
Which meant immortal vampires were very cautious. Even saints couldn’t know all their secrets.
Ji Shui looked very upset. After all, Blood God Sect was where she grew up, so she was emotionally attached to this place.
And now, Blood God Sect was facing domestic trouble and foreign invasion. It might be overthrown at any time and become a tool used by immortal vampires to fight human beings. How could she not be worried?
Ji Shui said,
Based on Liao Teng’s memories, I suspect that there’s one more immortal vampire within Blood God Sect who is more powerful than Discipline King Diyuan and the palace ruler of Disorder Heavenly Palace. However, that person has been pulling the strings behind the scenes the whole time. Even Liao Teng doesn’t know what he really is.



Someone more powerful than Discipline King Diyuan and the palace ruler of Disorder Heavenly Palace? Zhang Ruochen thought.
Few in Blood God Sect were stronger than them.
Someone who was pulling the strings. Was that the hierarch of Blood God Sect? Or someone else?
Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath and shook his head. He stopped speculating. Instead, he looked to Ji Shui and said,
Now you know why I invited you to help me, right?


If you told me the truth earlier, I would have helped you kill all the immortal vampire spies even without the saintly source,
Ji Shui said.
Actually, Ji Shui had a lot of questions she wanted to asked Zhang Ruochen. For example, why didn’t Zhang Ruochen disguise himself as Gu Linfeng to get into Blood God Sect? How did Zhang Ruochen know that there was a large group of immortal vampire spies within Blood God Sect?
Ji Shui took a list and skimmed through it. The more she read it, the more shocked she became. She felt as if her heart was pounding out of her chest.
Immortal vampires had already penetrated Blood God Sect to a severe extent.
Zhang Ruochen said,
The spies below the state of saint are your and Zhao Shiqi’s responsibility. I hope that you two can cooperate well and eradicate every immortal vampire.


Rest assured, your highness, I won’t let you down. In half a month, all those immortal vampire half saints will be gone forever,
Zhao Shiqi said gloomily.
Ji Shui asked,
How should we deal with the corpse of Ji Shui? Do we need to publicize his real identity?

Actually, what was left of Liao Teng was a head that was cut in half.
They needed to publicize the real identity of Liao Teng. They needed the entire Blood God Sect to eliminate all the immortal vampires they knew.
The tricky part was how to cleverly publicize the real identity off Liao Teng.
At this moment, Ji Shui received a transmitted voicemail. She said,
Discipline King Haiming was attacked, and he was severely injured.

Zhang Ruochen and Ji Shui left Secret Dragon Palace and rushed toward Spiritual Void Sea. They wanted to know what happened there.
If that person could injure Discipline King Haiming, it meant that person was a top-tier saint.
Spiritual Void Sea was a lake that was one thousand miles long, and this was where Discipline King Haiming practiced.
Spiritual Void Sea, which used to have water flowing inside, had been drained. All the islands had collapsed, and there were cracks everywhere. The land seemed to have been shattered.
It was inconceivable what kind of terrific battle had taken place in this place before.
Ji Shui rushed toward the center of Spiritual Void Sea and met with the second disciple of Discipline King Haiming, trying to figure something out.
Zhang Ruochen walked on the edge of Spiritual Void Sea, observing the traces and forces left by the battle, trying to figure out which saint fought Discipline King Haiming.
The battle had just ended, and there was a trace of saintly way force remaining.
After a short while, Ji Shui flew back and told Zhang Ruochen what had happened.

Discipline King Haiming was severely injured, and he has gone to a secret place in Ancient Snow Mountain to heal himself. He might not be able to get back to Blood God Sect for a while,
Ji Shui said.
Zhang Ruochen pinched his chin and said,
It must be the palace leader of Disorder Heavenly Palace, Yu Huacheng, who assassinated Discipline King Haiming. What a clever game. They sent Yu Huacheng to assassinate Discipline King Haiming and Liao Teng to deal with me.

Zhang Ruochen squinted his eyes, smiled and said,
I know how to publicize the real identity of Liao Teng now. Let’s tell everyone that Liao Teng was killed by Discipline King Haiming, who had been severely injured, and went into Ancient Snow Mountain to recover after killing Liao Teng.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to reveal his power yet, so he had to make Discipline King Haiming the scapegoat.
By doing so, the energies of immortal vampires would be devoted to Discipline King Haiming. Zhang Ruochen could secretly get rid of the immortal vampire spies one by one.
