Temple of Merit.

Shang Zigong stood under the two divine pillars, stepped on a circular stone platform with his feet, looked at the world between the two divine pillars, and bowed, "Master summoned his disciples to come, don't know what's up?"

The two divine pillars are as thick as the mountain and are stretched into the divine cloud.

Between the two pillars, there was a three-colored sea of ​​clouds floating. The spirit of the clouds flowed, filled with dense regular patterns, and an ethereal divine sound came from it: "What do you think of Zhang Ruochen?"

Shang Zixuan said: "A generation of genius is unparalleled."

"Are you sure to defeat him?"

Shang Zipeng smiled slightly: "It's hard to say in the same realm. But now, he is only the most holy realm, and the gap is still big compared to me."

Yan Shen's divine voice sounded again: "If you were asked to kill him, what would you do?"

A noble god actually wants to kill a saint?

If other monks heard this, they would definitely be quite shocked.

Shang Zixuan was extremely smart, so he didn't feel the surprise. Instead, he had thought about this question a long time ago, so he answered directly: "If you want to kill Zhang Ruochen, you can divide the upper, middle and lower three strategies."

"Oh? Tell me." Yan Shen said.

Shang Ziying said: "I don't need to take action personally. Just pay a high price, and there will naturally be a large number of killers to kill him."

Yan Shen said: "You all know that Zhang Ruochen is a genius of a generation, unparalleled. The Moon God and the Great Sage of Guanghan Realm will definitely do their best to protect him. Even if the top killer organization in the Heavenly Court Realm wants to get close to him, it is not easy."

Shang Zigong said: "So, this is just a bad strategy. I have a Zhongst plan to kill people with a knife."

"Borrow a knife and kill someone?"

Yan Shen was a little surprised.

Shang Ziying smiled and said, "No matter how outstanding Zhang Ruochen is, he is just an outsider. His appearance did save Guanghan Realm, but he snatched the limelight of Guanghan Realm and took away the glory that belonged to Guanghan Realm. In the Temple of Merit, if a genius who is better than me appears, I will never be able to live in harmony with him, but will try every means to get rid of him."

Yan Shen said: "What if the realm of Guanghan Realm doesn't care?"

"As long as you are ambitious, you will definitely care. Wu Hao is not a person who is willing to be mediocre, but has the ambition to revive the Guanghan Realm. Unfortunately, his talent and strength cannot support his ambition. The current decline in Guanghan Realm is not that he can revive it, but... I can give him a glimmer of hope." Shang Zigong said.

Yan Shen said: "If Wu Hao can help you, it will indeed become much easier to kill Zhang Ruochen. What is your best strategy?"

Shang Ziqing clasped his fists with his hands, bowed slightly, and said, "The disciple dared to guess that the reason why Master wanted to get rid of Zhang Ruochen should be because he has the identity of a successor of time and space. Once he grows up, it will be a huge threat."

Yan Shen was silent for a moment, then said: "You guessed it is true, there is indeed a reason for this. Ten thousand years ago, a powerful man in charge of time and space was born in Kunlun Realm, known as the Sumeru Holy Monk. This Zhang Ruochen must have a close relationship with him. If he grows up, he may become the second Sumeru Holy Monk."

Shang Ziying said: "Why must he be killed? Wouldn't it be better if this successor of time and space are mastered by his master?"

"I have tried it long ago. Zhang Ruochen's spiritual will is indomitable and it is impossible for him to surrender to anyone." Yan Shen said.

Shang Zixuan said: "Where to take over his body and holy soul directly?"

"Taking the body... Haha, my master didn't even think of this. Zi Yang, you are worthy of being a master's disciple. However, it is definitely not easy to take over Zhang Ruochen's body." Yan Shen said with a smile.

Shang Zixuan said: "It's not easy, so I decided to go to the soul world and choose a powerful soul that can devour Zhang Ruochen's spiritual will."

"What do you plan to do specifically?" Yan Shen asked.

Shang Zigong said: "Together, the three strategies are promoted, the worst and the middle strategies are just to paralyze Zhang Ruochen and the big figures in Guanghan Realm. The best strategies are my ultimate goal."

"Okay, you have always been meticulous in your work. Your teacher has confidence in you, so you will leave this matter to you." Yan Shen laughed again.

...

Mu Lingxi stayed in Yueshen Mountain and practiced with Yueshen.

After witnessing her apprenticeship ceremony, Zhang Ruochen left alone and returned to the Yuanxu Peak Holy Land in the Chilong Holy Land.

The Red Dragon Holy Land is the territory of the Great Sage of the Barbarian Sword, and the Yuanxu Peak Holy Land is one of the fourteen holy places in the Red Dragon Holy Land.

Zhang Ruochen is the holy master of Yuanxu Peak Holy Land.

As soon as he arrived outside the holy land, Zhang Ruochen saw dense figures gathering at the peak, including humans and wild beasts of various shapes.

Their cultivation level is different, including semi-saints, saints, and even saints.

"What's the situation?" Zhang Ruochen felt an accident.

If it weren't for the great saint of the Barbarian Sword in charge of the Red Dragon Holy Realm, Zhang Ruochen would have thought that the Yuanxu Peak Holy Land was besieged by a large number of foreign enemies. However, those monks were very disciplined and did not seem to be attacking the Holy Land.

One of the beautiful young female saints walked to the front and sang: "For Yue Zhao, the disciple of the Great Sage Yukong, I am sending invitations and gifts to Master, and I hope that God will go to Linjin Holy Land to discuss the holy land. Master has prepared a holy banquet."

All the monks around took a breath. Unexpectedly, even the Great Sage sent someone to invite Zhang Ruochen.

In other words, Zhang Ruochen already has the qualification to become a guest on the Great Saint?

A fat and round owl holy beast walked out of the holy land, with a huge body as big as a small elephant, standing above with a proud look, "Leave the gifts and invitations, and I will hand them over to Zhang Ruochen. As for whether Zhang Ruochen will go to visit the Great Sage of Yukong, it still depends on his mood. After all, the Great Sage of Nine Spirits, and the Great Sage of Wu Zu also sent the invitation."

The owl holy beast waved its wings gently, then walked out of dozens of semi-saints behind it, and moved all the gifts Yue Zhao brought into the holy land.

As for the invitation, the owl holy beast was placed on a bronze disc next to it. In the disc, a thick layer of invitations was piled up, with more than a hundred pieces.

A young man at the ninth-level semi-saint realm walked to the opposite side of the owl holy beast and said respectfully: "Hei Ye, I want to join the Yuanxu Peak Holy Land and practice with the God Envoy."

After a pause, he added: "The God Envoy is the most admired person. As long as I can join the Yuanxu Peak Holy Land, I am willing to pay any price."

The Owl Holy Beast was a little impatient and said, "It is not that easy to join the Yuanxu Peak Holy Land. Go there first, and after I receive the gifts, you will be tested one by one. Only those who pass the test are qualified to become members of the Holy Land."

The ninth-level half-saint showed joy, clenched his fists, walked to the side, and said to himself: "I must try my best to pass the test. Being able to enter the Yuanxu Peak Holy Land to practice is a great glory. Yu Rou, you must wait for my good news. I will not disappoint you. I must also strive to become a man like the God Envoy."

Zhang Ruochen restrained his breath, hid his figure, and stood not far away.

After his observation, he found that some of the monks who came to the Yuanxu Peak Holy Land came to send invitations, some came to send worship posts, and more came to surrender.

"Is my influence in Guanghan Realm so great?" Zhang Ruochen touched the tip of his nose, shook his head and smiled gently.

Overnight, he was able to be on par with the Great Sage.

Is this the influence of the number one ranking in the "Saint Merit List"?

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhang Ruochen continued to hide his figure, avoided the crowd, and sneaked into the Yuanxu Peak Holy Land.

"Come to see me."

Hearing Zhang Ruochen's message, the owl holy beast's round eyes could not help but turn, revealing a happy look: "I'm finally back!"

The owl holy beast gave an order to the disciples of the Yuanxu Peak Holy Land, then spread its wings and flew towards the depths of the holy land.

In the depths of the holy land, white mist is filled with it.

Below a cliff, a holy spring flows, watering this holy soil like a stream. On both sides of the holy spring, there are colorful spiritual medicines and holy medicines, emitting a faint fragrance.

Zhang Ruochen stood by the Holy Spring with his hands on his back, his body still as if it was loose, and the space around him seemed to be affected by the breath of his body and became a little solidified.

"Puw."

The owl holy beast flew down from the air and laughed: "Zhang Ruochen, you are finally back! You don't know how many holy cultivators have come to visit in the past two days and sent a large number of precious treasures. Even the Great Sage of Nine Spirits and the Emperor of Nirvana still hinted in the invitation that they seemed to want to marry their granddaughter and daughter to you."

Sudden……

Zhang Ruochen suddenly turned around, spread his arms, and hugged the void. The thick holy energy appeared between his arms and condensed into a golden dragon.

"Ao!"

The golden dragon rotates rapidly, connecting its head and tail, forming a golden circle.

"out."

Zhang Ruochen exerted force with his arms, and then, a golden circle five feet long in diameter flew out and bombarded the owl holy beast.

"What are you going to do? I am Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei..."

The owl holy beast was startled, and quickly spread its wings and swung forward hard. Then, two huge hurricanes condensed and collided with the golden circle.

"Boom."

The golden circle shattered and opened, turning into wisps of dragon energy, dissipating in the air.

The two hurricanes did not dissipate and hit Zhang Ruochen's body, shaking Zhang Ruochen to fly away from the ground. Each wind fell on Zhang Ruochen's body, like a blade slashing down, making a sound of gold and stone.

Zhang Ruochen had a strong defense. He resisted the hurricane and landed on the ground again. A smile appeared on his face: "As long as I guessed, your strength has recovered a lot!"

Xiao Hei withdrew his wings, raised his head, and said, "That's natural. It's not my emperor's bragging. With my emperor's current strength, even if he faces three or five holy kings alone, he can easily clean them up."

Zhang Ruochen couldn't see through Xiao Hei's true strength, so he didn't know if it was bragging.

Zhang Ruochen put away the scattered holy power, his face became serious, and said, "You are not very accomplished in formation, so why didn't you set up a mountain protection and defense formation in the sacred land of Yuanxu Peak?"

"Of course, there is a very powerful mountain protection and defense formation, but it is not opened. If that formation is opened, do you think you can enter the mountain so quietly?"

Xiao Hei rolled his eyes, as if he looked down on Zhang Ruochen's current strength, and at the same time, he was full of confidence in his formation attainments.

Zhang Ruochen said: "Don't accept gifts, and don't accept people anymore. Immediately open the mountain protection and defense formation and announce to the public that I will not see anyone for the time being. From today on, the Yuanxu Peak Holy Land will be closed."

"Closing the mountain? What's the situation?" Xiao Hei said in confusion.

Zhang Ruochen said: "When you are at the forefront of the storm, you will definitely be jealous. It is better to be low-key. And... I can't tell you some things for the time being. Anyway, I guess that in the next period of time, there are probably many killers who will come to kill me. Closing the mountain is the best way to protect yourself."

"And I also plan to take this opportunity to stay in seclusion for a while, digest the gains from this merit battlefield, and strive to increase my strength to a higher level."

"Okay, listen to you, I will open the mountain protection defense formation now."
