King of Creation

Chapter 696: Chapter 687: The First Use of Soul Searching Technique

“Hou Ba, if you reveal the meeting place with Zhu Ling now, my earlier promise still stands!” Ye Zhen’s voice resounded, “Of course, any other arrangements made by Zhu Ling are also acceptable!” Ye Zhen added another sentence.

Why did Ye Zhen ask that?

Because Ye Zhen wanted an opportunity to kill Zhu Ling!

Firstly, it was Ye Zhen’s duty to eradicate evil, and the root of Zhu Mingxu’s misdeeds lay with Zhu Ling. Without Zhu Ling, Zhu Mingxu would not have been able to persist in his evil ways for long.

Secondly, Zhu Ling was not only a powerful Cultivator but also held great authority within the Sun and Moon Divine Sect. With such a person constantly thinking about Ye Zhen day and night, Ye Zhen would likely have trouble sleeping peacefully upon his return.

Furthermore, due to his busy tasks within the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, Zhu Ling rarely left, leaving Ye Zhen with no opportunity to deal with him.

If Zhu Ling were to leave the Sun and Moon Divine Sect to deal with Ye Zhen, that would present Ye Zhen with a perfect chance to take care of him.

As for whether Ye Zhen could kill Zhu Ling, who was at the Seventh Stage of Vein Forging Realm, Ye Zhen didn’t give it much thought. With the real Divine Skill like Earth Escape at his disposal, it shouldn’t be too difficult to deal with Zhu Ling.

What’s difficult is finding the opportunity to deal with Zhu Ling without being detected.

If discovered, Ye Zhen would face great trouble, possibly even being chased by the Sun and Moon Divine Sect all over the world, which would make Ye Zhen’s circumstance extremely difficult.

Although currently Ye Zhen was highly valued by Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong for his significant contributions to the Divine Sect and had quite a status within the Sect, he couldn’t compare to an established high-ranker like Zhu Ling within the Sun and Moon Divine Sect.

Ye Zhen guessed that even if he told Jian Qianxiong about Zhu Ling’s intention to kill him, Jian Qianxiong wouldn’t punish Zhu Ling because of it.

Of course, even if Jian Qianxiong did decide to punish Zhu Ling because of it, Ye Zhen would disdain to do so, as it was an act of the weak.

“Gurgle… Gurgle… Glop…”

Hou Ba’s eyes bulged in fury and the veins on his forehead protruded, as he tried to say something but couldn’t utter a word. All his energy was focused on resisting the Soul Capturing power of the Soul Capturing Jade Skull, leaving him with no ability to speak.
