Chapter 394
Due to their overly arrogant actions at the time, the entire empire resented the Sand Palace. Consequently, Bai Qianli, the old head of the Kartis family, and Seng Kiando, the old sovereign of the imperial family, seized an opportunity when Hee Zun was severely injured and launched a surprise attack with fierce tactics.
Ultimately, the two managed to kill Hee Zun at the cost of their own severe power decline.
This incident was a secret not commonly known outside of Snow Storm City.
It was precisely because of their deep understanding that Wun Ling and the others felt a profound fear. One was the Kartis family, at the peak of its power, and the other was the entrenched royal family. These two colossal forces made it impossible for them to even entertain the thought of revenge.
Thus, Blaze Regret's merciless words were akin to ripping open their wounds, instantly igniting a furious killing intent within them.
"With such cowardice, you still dare to claim to be people of the Northern Saint Sect?" Blaze Regret sneered, showing even greater disdain.
"I want you dead!"
With a roar of fury, Wun Ling summoned a massive black shadow that whistled over from above his head, crashing to the ground with a thud. Its eyes glared menacingly at Blaze Regret and Red.
This was a Barbaric Scorpion, a fourth tier mid level lord grade spirit beast with rock attributes. In the past, only the inner disciples of the Sand Palace were qualified to form contracts with such beasts, indicating its formidable combat power.
Following the Barbaric Scorpion, the spirit beasts of the other four individuals quickly shot forward, encircling Blaze Regret and Red.
"I'll tear your tongue out, piece by piece!" Wun Ling's eyes were bloodshot, filled with an intense desire to dismember Blaze Regret.
"One move."
Observing the situation, Blaze Regret merely shook his head with a smile. A verdant green spiritual portal then materialized beside him, and from it leapt out the petite figure of Ethereal Lotus.
"Chirp!"
In an instant, without any hesitation, Ethereal Lotus spun in mid air, and her hand, surging with emerald green spiritual power, slammed heavily onto the ground.
"Boom!"
In a flash, sharp vines shot up from various points on the rocky floor, their gleaming tips piercing through the bodies of the Barbaric Scorpion and other spirit beasts with lightning speed. The entire grand hall seemed to transform into a dense forest of thorny vines.
In the midst of the thorny vines, the lifeless bodies of the Barbaric Scorpion and other spirit beasts hung helplessly in the air, with bright red blood trickling down the vines.
Witnessing this scene, Wun Ling and the others were filled with horror. The next moment, countless sharp vines shot up from beneath their feet, penetrating their bodies without any resistance.
"Ah!"
Wun Ling's scream of agony had barely escaped his lips before it was abruptly cut off, as he saw a bloodstained vine protruding from his chest, causing his soul to scatter in terror.

Standing amidst the verdant forest of thorny vines, Ethereal Lotus straightened up, lightly dusting off her hands with a hum. Such opponents were far inferior to the Giant Wood Demon she had faced earlier, which at least had posed some threat to her.
"The Sand Palace is completely gone now," Blaze Regret remarked with a detached expression as he glanced around, intending to leave the grand hall with the Flowing Sand Transforming Wings scroll.
"Clink!"
However, just as he lifted his foot, a rune etched rock fragment tumbled out from the lifeless Wun Ling's clothing, its clear sound resonating throughout the hall.
"Hmm?"
Blaze Regret's palm opened slightly, and with a surge of suction, he drew the rock fragment into his hand. After scrutinizing it for a moment, his expression shifted slightly, prompting him to quickly retrieve the rock fragment from the void Realm Stone.
Wun Ling's rock fragment had a small protrusion, while his own fragment had a slight indentation in its center.
"No wonder it always felt like something was missing from this rock fragment."
With newfound clarity, Blaze Regret aligned the two fragments with a click, and suddenly, they expanded into a spherical shape, akin to a fruit. A surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted from within.
"Buzz!"
In the next moment, the object ascended into the air with a buzz, emitting deep beams of light from the rock sphere that extended to every corner of the hall, gradually forming a complex array pattern.
In the center of the array, the light flickered slightly, and a brilliant beam shot upward, striking directly at the ceiling of the grand hall. Waves of formidable spiritual energy rapidly spread in all directions.
As the spiritual energy surged, a majestic beast, woven from beams of light, gradually took form. It stood proudly in the void, its heart pulsating gently with a fiery essence of blood.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Blaze Regret's mouth dropped open in shock as he gazed at the mysterious giant beast. Simultaneously, a flash of light appeared within his void Realm Stone, and Master Magi's figure swiftly emerged, his expression solemn as he looked up into the air.
"This is... the Northern Saint Beast..."
An ancient, imposing beast stood majestically in the void, emanating a powerful aura that seemed to make the surrounding space subtly ripple. Although the beast showed no signs of life, a mere glance was enough to inspire awe and reverence.
"The Northern Saint Beast."
Muttering this formidable name, Blaze Regret came to his senses and exhaled a long breath of chill. This ancient and mysterious beast was quite renowned in ancient times. One of the continent's former rulers, the Northern Saint Sect, had built its illustrious reputation on the back of this spirit beast.
What truly captured Blaze Regret's attention was that the Northern Saint Beast contained one third of true dragon blood! Although this amount could not compare to the peak period of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, it was more than sufficient for Blaze Regret at present.
