Chapter 1603: Time of Dawn

Yin and Yang Palace

Shang Ziyan’s back was straight and his hands were behind his back. His silver eyes gazed at the Truth Way carving above. He’d stood there without moving for five days and nights like a stone statue.

Finally, a smile appeared on his handsome face. “As expected of the Moon Goddess. Other gods won’t be able to compare. She really left an incredible carving. I’ve only studied it for a few days and I’ve benefited greatly.”

Whoosh!

Wang Xu’s figure flashed and appeared near Shang Ziyan like a ghostly shadow. Smiling, he said, “That move doesn’t seem to be very useful. Zhang Ruochen is still very smart. It won’t work at all.”

Hearing that, Shang Ziyan turned and looked at Wang Xu. “This move might not be useful to other people, but it’ll definitely be useful against Zhang Ruochen.”

“But the saint souls of those 17 Saints have been whipped by the soul whip day and night and are about to be destroyed,” Wang Xu said. “Zhang Ruochen hasn’t appeared yet at all.”

“Really?” Shang Ziyan shook his head. “I don’t think so. Zhang Ruochen may be around the Yin and Yang Palace right now, staring at those screaming heads.

“He’s just controlling himself, like an angry wolf hiding in the darkness. He’s furious, but he must bury his claws in the dirt to make himself calm down. He knows that once he approaches the Yin and Yang Palace, he’ll fall into the hunter’s trap and die without a grave.

“And I am that hunter that makes him feel fearful and not dare to appear.”

“Since he knows the Yin and Yang Palace is a trap,” Wang Xu said, “won’t he never appear?”

Shang Ziyan walked over and patted Wang Xu’s shoulder. Chuckling, he said, “If he doesn’t appear, then force him to appear. Wood Soul Girl, spread the news. Tomorrow at four p.m., take the 17 heads off of the gates and…feed them to the dog.”

“Yes.”

A pretty girl in blue robes left with the order.

The dog was a Phosphor Helldog of Black Demon Field.

The Phosphor Helldog was covered in long red hair and had three heads. It was the size of a house.

It was led outside the Yin and Yang Palace and chained to a bronze pillar. The blood-red eyes of the three heads stared at the hanging heads. It seemed very excited and kept barking.

In practically one night, news spread through the Heavenly Capital Saint Market.

The cultivators of the major worlds mostly all knew what was happening. They knew that the people hanging outside the Yin and Yang Palace were closely related to the renowned Zhang Ruochen.

Of course, very few people knew that Shang Ziyan was in charge of this all.

They only thought that it was the Yin and Yang Palace’s revenge on Zhang Ruochen.

The people who had conflicts with the Yin and Yang Palace all hoped that Zhang Ruochen would appear sooner. It would be best if he could kill all of those Evil Way cultivators.

Of course, some other cultivators sighed inwardly. “Guanghan Field finally produced a top talent, but he’ll probably die in the Yin and Yang Palace before he can become a true top figure.”

“Those Evil Way cultivators of the Yin and Yang Palace are all very frightening. That’s why they use such lowly methods to force Zhang Ruochen to appear.”

“I hope Zhang Ruochen won’t fall into the trap. Otherwise, he has a disadvantage in numbers.”

“If he can bear this now, he’ll be able to defeat the Yin and Yang Palace when he reaches the Extreme Realm under the Supreme Saint Realm. I’m afraid he’ll act impulsively due to his young age.”

Actually, many cultivators of the other worlds in Heaven Field pitied Kunlun’s Field and Guanghan Field.

But this was a world where power and interests were the most important. They pitied the worlds, but they didn’t want to get in trouble themselves or bring bad fate to their own worlds.

Helping Zhang Ruochen to a certain degree secretly, like Ji Fanxin, was already very rare.

After exiting the Time and Space Crystal, Zhang Ruochen learned about this news from Ling Feiyu.

However, he acted abnormally calm. Instead, he stared at Ling Feiyu with deep eyes without speaking.

“Why are you looking at me?”

Ling Feiyu felt that Zhang Ruochen’s gaze was strange, but she didn’t overthink it. She’d been thinking about how to attack the Yin and Yang Palace. “Are you going to make the strategy, or should I? If you haven’t thought about it, then listen to me.

“First plan, I’ll take the lead and distract the evil figures in the Yin and Yang Palace. I’ll also test which killing mechanisms and traps they’ve set up.

“If they’ve set up too much or I accidentally die by their hands, you shouldn’t go. You should escape from the Heavenly Capital Saint Market immediately.

“If there’s a hole in their setup, use spatial power immediately and take away the 17 heads from the gates. Then retreat as fast as possible and I’ll take care of the rest.

“The second plan, we act together, but I must be visible while you’re hidden. Your main task is to save the saint souls in the 17 heads…”

Zhang Ruochen listened quietly to Ling Feiyu’s plans.

However, all of her plans had rescuing the saint souls in the heads as the main goal. She didn’t think about killing the demons in the Yin and Yang Palace at all.

Perhaps, she thought that it was impossible.

Or, she might think that it was too dangerous for Zhang Ruochen to do it now.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen cut off Ling Feiyu’s fourth plan. “Give me the Heaven Glass Cover.”

“Why?” Ling Feiyu asked.

“I believe that it’s better for me to be the main attacker. You only have to support me.”

Ling Feiyu’s eyes sharpened. She was about to say something, but Zhang Ruochen cut her off. “I control the powers of space and time. If I want to escape, they won’t be able to stop me.”

“Really? Do you know how wise Shang Ziyan is? How could he not think of that? He must have prepared ways to repress your powers of time and space.”

Ling Feiyu had cultivated for centuries and experienced countless battles of various scales. How could it be easy to fool her?

Zhang Ruochen fell silent. “I think that we must choose a general before the mission. Otherwise, it won’t be good if we have different opinions and do our own things.”

“Okay,” Ling Feiyu said authoritatively. “I have more experience and knowledge than you. I’m stronger than you too. I’ll be the general and you listen to everything I say for this battle.”

As the First Saintess of the Demonic Sect, Ling Feiyu carried an intimidating aura.

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t convinced. He shook his head. “Since we’re choosing a general, we’ll do it by vote. The person with the highest votes will qualify.”

“Begin voting now.”

“Please raise your right hand if you choose me as the general.”

After speaking, Zhang Ruochen raised his own right hand and looked toward Blackie.

Blackie had been with Zhang Ruochen for quite some time now, so it obviously knew his intentions. It raised its right paw.

At the same time, Demonic Sound raised her right hand in the distance too.

Zhang Ruochen put his hand down. “Three votes supporting me, so I think the result is quite clear. You don’t have any objections now, do you?”

Ling Feiyu’s eyes were like frigid stars. “Then, what is your plan?”

“No hurry,” Zhang Ruochen said. “Before acting, all of us must take a blood vow.”

“What blood vow?” Ling Feiyu asked.

Calmly, Zhang Ruochen said, “Everyone present must follow the general’s orders strictly. Whoever dares to act by themselves and disobey the orders will be destroyed and all their family and friends killed.”

Ling Feiyu could tell that this blood vow was only aimed at herself, so she asked cautiously, “What if I take the vow and you order that I cannot go to the Yin and Yang Palace? Would I have to follow that order?”

“How could I do that?” Zhang Ruochen said with a serious expression. “I have an important task for you on this trip to the Yin and Yang Palace.”

“Are you sure?” Ling Feiyu asked.

“I can make a blood vow.”

“No need!”

Ling Feiyu was very decisive. Without thinking more, she immediately made a blood vow.

After her, Blackie and Demonic Sound also made blood vows. Finally, Zhang Ruochen nodded with satisfaction and said, “We will act at dawn.”

At dawn, the sky was dark and covered in stars that sparkled on the two sides of the Heavenly River. The world was silent.

Even the busy Heavenly Capital Saint Market now seemed cold and quiet.

Strands of white mist floated on the street.

Four powerful Evil Way cultivators stood under the gates of the Yin and Yang Palace, talking on and off.

An Absolute Saint with an alligator head said, “The news has been released for so long. How come Zhang Ruochen still hasn’t appeared?”

“I think he doesn’t dare to,” a dwarf said.

A man with blood-colored hair sat cross-legged on the ground and released his Spiritual Power, seeming extraordinarily cautious.

Now, he huffed coldly. “You two better be careful. If Zhang Ruochen wants to act, it’ll most likely be at midnight or dawn. Since he didn’t act at midnight, it’s highly possible that he’ll act now.”

The dwarf was disdainful and laughed. “Xue Ya, how come you get more scared the higher your cultivation is? So what if Zhang Ruochen comes?

“Master Lin set up six formations near the gates. Three of them are defensive formations. Even if Zhang Ruochen comes, he’ll take some time to get past them before he has a chance to take away the heads.

“While he’s undoing them, the top cultivators in the Yin and Yang Palace will be alerted. As long as Lord Qing Liaoya, Lord Zhanyu and the others attack, Zhang Ruochen will be killed no matter how strong he is.”

Other than the man with blood-colored hair named Xue Ya, the other three Evil Way cultivators all started laughing.

But just then, Xue Yao sensitively noticed slight spatial ripples and let out an explosive roar. “Zhang Ruochen, you’ve finally appeared!”
