"What?"
Ancient Sage Mo Ling felt goosebumps rising all over his body as he watched the hand that had reached out from the book and grabbed his Soulcrushing Ruler.
He sensed danger.
The palm in the book was simply too powerful. Even with his strength, he was no match for it.
Hula!
Without any hesitation, Zhang Xuan drew his Primordial Spirit out from his glabella, and as soon as his massive Primordial Spirit appeared, the entire space was shrouded in a sinister aura.
"Let go!"
With a furious bellow reminiscent of a clap of thunder, Zhang Xuan's Primordial Spirit swiftly traversed through space and appeared right before the palm before reaching out to grab the ruler.
"Hey!"
Vicious seemed to have predicted that Zhang Xuan would do this. With a flick of his wrist, his ruler swept horizontally.
Hiss!
Struck in the head, Ancient Sage Mo Ling's massive Primordial Spirit staggered for a moment before plummeting from the sky.
Vicious had already reached Blood Reincarnation realm consummation, making him on par with Sovereign Chen Yong at his peak. As powerful as Ancient Sage Mo Ling was, there was still a huge gap between him and Sovereign Chen Yong.
"Go!"
Seeing that Vicious was about to kill the Ancient Sage, Zhang Xuan waved his hand.
It might be easy to kill that fellow, but if the other Ancient Sages of Sovereign Chen Ling's palace were to be drawn out, it would be difficult for them to escape.
Vicious dared not disobey Zhang Xuan's command. With a light wave of his hand, a rift appeared in the sealed space, and Zhang Xuan leaped forward. Just as he was about to dash in, Ancient Sage Mo Ling's soul suddenly rose to his feet once more.
"Subordinate Mo Ling greets the guild leader!"
Guild Leader?
Frowning, Zhang Xuan came to a halt and looked at Zhang Xuan doubtfully.
"If I'm not mistaken, you aren't an Otherworldly Demon but Zhang Xuan from the Master Teacher Continent, right? He's the guild leader of our Soul Oracle Guild! "
Ancient Sage Mo Ling bowed deeply.
"You know me?" Zhang Xuan was surprised.
After assimilating the Seal of Souls from the Soul Oracle Guild, it was no big deal for him to claim that he was the guild leader.
However, the Seal of Souls was no longer in his hands. Instead, it had been passed down to his student, Lu Chong.
"Jiang Fangyou has already sent me a message, saying that the soul oracle lineage has a new leader. Not too long ago, when he heard that you committed suicide in the hands of Mingshi Tang, he divined that it was likely that you would come to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe.
Ancient Sage Mo Ling replied respectfully.
Zhang Xuan was speechless.
He had learned of the history of the Soul Oracle Tribe from Jiang Fangyou. Back then, the leader of the Soul Oracle Guild had committed suicide in order to infiltrate the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe.
This period of history was extremely secretive, so not many people knew about it. However, as soul oracles, Ancient Sages, there was no doubt that they would know about it.
Therefore, when he killed himself at the hands of Mingshi Tang, the other party immediately thought of this.
"What are you doing in Emperor Ling's Palace?"
Knowing the history of the soul oracles, Zhang Xuan came to a halt and reinforced the formation around him before turning his attention back to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe.
"Sovereign Chen Yong is simply too powerful. As long as he's alive, it's only a matter of time before mankind succumbs to him. Thus, I intentionally convinced Sovereign Chen Ling to gang up on Sovereign Chen Yong and kill him!"
Ancient Sage Mo Ling said.
"Did you plan this?"
Zhang Xuan was shocked.
He had thought that the Hundred Schools of Philosophers had found Sovereign Chen Yong's whereabouts through the soul oracles and the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe.
Yet, Sovereign Chen Ling and Sovereign Chen Xing had made use of this opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Sovereign Chen Yong. This meant that Sovereign Chen Ling was aware of the existence of the soul oracles.
In the end, it turned out that everything was a part of Ancient Sage Mo Ling's plan.
"In truth, Sovereign Chen Ling has long harbored the thought of rebelling against the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. All I did was make use of his influence to stir things up!"
Ancient Sage Mo Ling explained.
"Un. That's not bad. However, have you ever thought that if Sovereign Chen Ling had returned unscathed after killing Sovereign Chen Yong, you would have been dead by now … "
Zhang Xuan looked at Ancient Sage Mo Ling grimly.
Even though he had not interacted much with Sovereign Chen Ling, there was no doubt that the latter was a warmonger.
As powerful as Sovereign Chen Yong was, he had a sense of propriety. As long as he was alive, mankind would face fewer wars. However, against Ancient Sage Mo Ling, there was a good chance that both sides would suffer greatly.
More importantly, Ancient Sage Mo Ling had sent a message to the Hundred Schools of Philosophers through the Jiang Clan, so Sovereign Chen Ling knew that Ancient Sage Mo Ling was able to contact the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. As such, he dared not make any moves before killing Sovereign Chen Yong. However, once Sovereign Chen Yong was killed, he would surely deal with Ancient Sage Mo Ling right away.
"I know that, but I knew that Sovereign Chen Yong had a trump card, so I didn't tell Sovereign Chen Ling and Sovereign Chen Xing about it," Ancient Sage Mo Ling said.
Zhang Xuan shook his head helplessly.
It was no wonder soul oracles were feared by mankind. They were simply too powerful!
To think that the Three Sovereigns of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe would be toyed around in the palm of their hands!
"How is Sovereign Chen Ling doing now? Are his injuries severe? "
Zhang Xuan asked as he tossed aside his thoughts.
"Sovereign Chen Ling and Sovereign Chen Xing are both severely injured, and they haven't recovered from their injuries yet. As for the exact situation … he seems to be on guard against me, so I'm unable to find out anything," Ancient Sage Mo Ling replied.
"Then … why did he gather all these appraisers?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
"I'm not too sure either, but if I'm not mistaken, he intends to offer an offering to the Spirit God," Ancient Sage Mo Ling replied grimly.
"Offer an offering to the Spirit God?"
"His injuries are extremely severe. If he were to rely on natural recovery, it would take at least several thousand years. The only thing he can do now is to offer sacrifices to the Spirit God and obtain power!
"Isn't the Spirit God with Sovereign Chen Yong?"
Zhang Xuan could not hold back his curiosity any longer.
The Spirit God was Lozosy, and she had a close relationship with Sovereign Chen Yong. If Ancient Sage Mo Ling dared to offer an offering to the Spirit God, the latter might even kill him on the spot.
"The gods are emotionless beings. In their eyes, we are no different from ants. At most, they will only treat those who offer more and those who offer less. It's true that Sovereign Chen Yong was the one who communicated with the Spirit God in the past, but now that he's no longer of any use to us, how could the Spirit God possibly take care of him? "
Ancient Sage Mo Ling harrumphed coldly.
If the gods were as emotionless as humans, they would have died many times over by now.
"Besides, Sovereign Chen Ling has already started preparing the artifacts and ascertained the value of the offerings. Otherwise, there's no way he would have done such a thing!"
Zhang Xuan clenched his fists tightly together.
He did not believe that Lozosy was such a person, but what Ancient Sage Mo Ling had said did make sense.
No matter what, he had to meet Lozosy once more and ask her about it!
"Forget it. We haven't calculated the value of the artifacts yet, so we don't dare to offer them recklessly. We still have some time left … Right, may I know the reason behind your visit to Sovereign Chen Ling's palace?"
Ancient Sage Mo Ling asked with a frown.
"I'm looking for Dragon Blood. Do you know where I can find it in Sovereign Chen Ling's palace?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
He had failed to find it previously, but with Ancient Sage Mo Ling's help, he might just be able to succeed.
"Dragon Blood?"
Ancient Sage Mo Ling asked doubtfully. "I've heard rumors about it before, but I don't know where it is. However, I've scanned the entire palace, and if I'm not mistaken, it should be in Sovereign Chen Ling's sleeping chamber!"
"Sleeping chamber?"
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
This was also what he had deduced previously, and it seemed like his guess was spot on.
