After arriving back on Kongling Island, Feng Yan set up a separate refining chamber for Zhang Ruochen. There were two maidens guarding outside to serve Zhang Ruochen at any time.
Zhang Ruochen was really confused by Feng Yan’s hospitality, and he was always on guard.
A first disciple from Truth Godly Palace had a very solid background, yet he befriended him, the Time and Space Descendant who was enemy to many, which was tough to understand for Zhang Ruochen.
Was he really just friendly? Or was he up to something else?
“Feng Yan had several chances to take me down after we met each other, but he’s never done it. It seems he doesn’t belong to the sinister power.”
Zhang Ruochen couldn’t figure out why, so he had to suppress all his questions.
…
After saying goodbye to Zhang Ruochen, Feng Yan walked to the splendid saint palace at the center of Kongling Island.
The gate to the saint palace opened automatically, then he walked in.
The godly disciple, Feng Xi, was wearing a Crane Blue Sky Cape and a veil, sitting beside the chessboard and studying the situation on the board.
She didn’t turn around hearing the stepping sound, and instead, she said, “Were you put down?”
“You’ve heard of it already?” Feng Yan forced a smile.
Feng Xi sneered and said, “I’ve received messages from at least ten godly disciples that Thousand Star Maiden has crossed the fifth level of the ocean domain, yet the one with three heads and six arms from the Feng family has already crossed the fourth level. Don’t you find it humiliating?”
“How is that humiliating? Thousand Star Maiden is a talented person that might not come for ten thousand years…”
Before Feng Yan finished talking, Feng Xi interjected, “I find it humiliating. You could’ve saved face if you didn’t try to cross the Ocean of Truth with her, but now, you’re nothing but a foil for her. Do you know what a stepping stone is? It’s you.”
Feng Yan was very timid in front of his sister. He stroked his nose and whispered, “I’m not the only stepping stone…”
Feng Xi shot Feng Yan a glare, then he immediately stopped talking.
After a while, Feng Xi said, “God-Naming Platform Conference is conducted only once every ten years. It’s an incredible opportunity. However, you’ll definitely run into danger if you want to gain something there. Prepare yourself and don’t humiliate our family again.”
“Okay. I’ll go prepare myself now.”
Feng Yan rushed out of the saint palace, and he only felt relieved after walking out the door. He looked up at the sky and whispered, “I wouldn’t have come meet her if I knew she was going to scold me like that.”
…
“I’ve finally finished making it.”
Zhang Ruochen was sweating as he looked at the Shining Sun Arrow in his hand, smiling.
It took him more than half a day to finish crafting three time prints, which made that arrow extremely lethal.
The arrow itself was a physical attack, while the time prints on the arrow were almost impossible to defend against.
Zhang Ruochen made that arrow specially to fight Thousand Star Maiden. That girl might’ve refined Way of the Void, so he couldn’t engage in close combat against her.
If he could kill Thousand Star Maiden from afar, it’d be perfect.
Zhang Ruochen then left Kongling Island and rushed toward Qingming Island with his Blue Sky Bow and Shining Sun Arrow.
Both Qingming Island and Kongling Island were floating in the sky, and neither of them was more than ten thousand miles away from Truth Godly Palace. The saintly way rules were vigorous there, making them the perfect place to refine.
The godly disciples who owned islands less than ten thousand miles away from Truth Godly Palace were all exceptional among their peers.
It was very dangerous to try to kill someone in the refining place of a godly disciple. However, Zhang Ruochen had no choice but to do that.
Both of them had Mysteries of Truth, so they’d try everything to kill each other.
Zhang Ruochen would be at a disadvantage if Thousand Star Maiden struck first.
Zhang Ruochen changed his appearance and put on his mask. Then, he took out the seed of the True Hallucination Flower. Suddenly, his body vanished in the air.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t rush to strike after arriving on Qingming Island. Instead, he hid himself and observed everything on the island first.
There was a defense formation on the island, so ordinary power couldn’t penetrate it.
However, with the help of Fire God Gloves, Shining Sun Arrow might be able to pierce through the defense reticle and kill Thousand Star Maiden.
Zhang Ruochen found a tall mountain which was at the same level as Qingming Island, making it the perfect place to strike.
After two days of observation and waiting, Zhang Ruochen finally saw Thousand Star Maiden on Qingming Island.
Thousand Star Maiden was walking with two other beautiful women. They were ethereal like angels, and even the distance of dozens of miles couldn’t shield their beauty.
Zhang Ruochen wasn’t in the mood to appreciate their faces. Instead, he grabbed Blue Sky Bow and Shining Sun Arrow.
Crimson fire emerged on the two gloves of Fire God Armor as if there were two miniature suns, giving Zhang Ruochen unprecedented power.
Zhang Ruochen had no idea what kind of saint weapons Blue Sky Bow and Shining Sun Arrow were. He only knew that as his cultivation became higher, their power also got stronger.
Bang Bang!
Zhang Ruochen had to use all his strength to draw the Blue Sky Bow.
Just as Zhang Ruochen located Thousand Star Maiden and was about to shoot the arrow, he heard someone laugh behind him.”Finally, I’ve found you, brother. Haha.”

Xiang Chunan showed up out of nowhere and tapped Zhang Ruochen on his shoulder.
Whoosh!
Zhang Ruochen shook his arm and Shining Sun Arrow, and then, the Shining Sun Arrow was shot toward Qingming Island, trailing.
Boom!
Shining Sun Arrow was indeed immensely powerful, and it pierced through the formation reticle of Qingming Island.
However, because of Xiang Chunan, it was derailed and hit the bottom of Qingming, shaking the giant island, and then, mud and stones fell from the sky.
The owner of Qingming Island, Qie Huairou, released freezing power and yelled, “Who was it?! How dare you attack Qingming Island?”
Qie Huairou was enraged. She grabbed a saint sword and flew to dozens of miles away like a trace of white light, wielding her sword.
Boom!
The mountain that Zhang Ruochen was standing on collapsed.
The noise Qie Huairou made shocked the monks a thousand miles away from her. They saw the floating island surrounded by saint Qi lose a corner, with palaces collapsing.
They were shocked and curious. Who dared attack Qingming Island?
Qingming Island was less than ten thousand miles away from Truth Godly Palace, making it a central area. Even supreme saints and the assassins from the Three Assassination Organizations didn’t dare try kill someone in this area.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The formation on Qingming Island had been fully activated, forming twelve layers of defense reticles.
All the monks were anxious, preparing to fight.
Thousand Star Maiden still looked very calm. She grabbed the Shining Sun Arrow that was about to fly away, studying it in her hands.
“Um…?”
Ordinary monks couldn’t see the time print at all. However, Thousand Star Maiden had a pair of special saint eyes, which helped her to see the three time prints on the arrow.
“Was it him?”
Thousand Star Maiden looked curious.
She then raised her head and looked to the distance. She curved her lips and forced a smile. “Why did that guy make such a scene?”
Thousand Star Maiden had already figured that it was Zhang Ruochen who shot the arrow.
However, Zhang Ruochen didn’t aim correctly, so Thousand Star Maiden didn’t think he was trying to kill her. Instead, she reckoned Zhang Ruochen might be into her, so he pulled a cheap game like this.
Thousand Star Maiden was so confident because too many guys fell for her after one look, so it wasn’t strange that Zhang Ruochen followed the same path.
How ridiculous, Thousand Star Maiden thought.
Qie Huairou flew back to Qingming Island with her saint Qi and said, “That guy was very fast. He already got away when I got there, and he didn’t leave any traces. I’m not sure who the one that holds grudges against us is.”
Thousand Star Maiden handed the Shining Sun Arrow to Qie Huairou with a smile on her face.
“Is this the arrow that broke the defense on Qingming Island?”
“That’s right.”
Qie Huairou infused the Shining Sun Arrow with her mind power, which amazed her. She said, “What an extraordinary arrow… The techniques used to make this arrow are very special. I can’t even figure out how many inscriptions there are inside.
“This arrow alone is invaluable.”
Thousand Star Maiden didn’t voice her speculation. After all, she wasn’t sure that it was Zhang Ruochen who shot the arrow.
“Could I have the arrow? I want to study it a bit.” Thousand Star Maiden smiled.
Qie Huairou didn’t find anything strange on the Shining Sun Arrow, so she handed it to Thousand Star Maiden.
Thousand Star Maiden’s eyes gleamed, holding the Shining Sun Arrow. The owner of the arrow would definitely come for her again as she was in possession of such a valuable arrow.
Zhang Ruochen grabbed Xiang Chunan and fled to hundreds of miles away, performing spatial move dozens of times. He didn’t stop until he was certain that Qie Huairou didn’t catch up with him.
Fortunately, he had become a saint king, so he could teleport himself very fast each time, making it easy for him to escape.
He brought Xiang Chunan with him because he might expose Zhang Ruochen if he fell into Qie Huairou’s hands.
After they stopped running, Zhang Ruochen summoned the Abyss Ancient Sword and pointed it at Xiang Chunan, looking solemn.
“What are you doing, brother? There’s no grudge between us. Why are you pointing your sword at me?” Xiang Chunan found it hard to understand.
Zhang Ruochen looked at him fiercely and asked, “Why were you there?”
Xiang Chunan was dazed, then he said, “I heard Truth Godly Palace is about to hold a God-Naming Platform Conference in the near future, and I want to go there and have a look, which is why I’ve been staying in Truth Godly Palace. I’ve been wandering around outside today, and I saw you standing on the mountain.”
“No way it can be that coincidental.”
Xiang Chunan said, “It’s a great coincidence, which means we’re destined to become sworn brothers!”
Zhang Ruochen couldn’t stab him, seeing how sincere Xiang Chunan was. He then said, “I surrounded myself with the illusions formed by the seed of True Hallucination Flower, and I’ve changed my body shape using a secret technique. How did you see through the illusions and recognize me with just a random look?”
Xiang Chunan blinked and guffawed. “To be honest, I have Thousand-Mile Vision. No illusions within a thousand miles of me can deceive me, including any transformation technique.”
