Rebirth: City Sovereign

Even though the sound was extremely weak, Ye Kai was still able to detect it within the countless black mud and vines that were wrapped around.    

Before he left for the Zhanluo Flower Tower, Bishop Arianna's words couldn't help but ring out once again in Ye Kai's mind.    

"Other than the Mother Saint, there is one other person who knows the secret of the 'Flower of Planet'."    

"Ya Si, the only child of the Mother Saint, is being locked in the Zhanluo Flower Tower. With our strength, we are unable to save her."    

Ye Kai's eyes flashed with a Divine Light. He activated all of the Spiritual Strength's detection abilities and looked at the Mother Sage's body.    

He saw a little girl in a green skirt sitting inside the semi-sphere surrounded by piles of corpse mud. Her two hands were hugging her knees as she sobbed.    

Needless to say, Ye Kai also understood that the little girl was definitely the sage's daughter, Ya Si!    

The moment he saw Ya Si's appearance, Ye Kai pressed his feet against the ground. On the Flaming Longsword, not only flames, but also Yin Qi and lightning also fiercely gathered at the tip of the sword.    

Boom!    

The sword pierced through the shield that was formed from the corpse mud, and Ye Kai immediately rushed towards the sage.    

The corpse mud that was used to cut off the limbs had already been replenished from the corners of the Sparkling Garden, and thousands of black thorns started to pierce through the soil, with the saint as the center.    

Helpless, Ye Kai could only leap up from the side, and arrive at the area outside of the Earth Spurs. They were standing opposite of each other at a distance of a few hundred meters.    

In the distance, when the clan members of the Flower Man Clan saw this scene, their hearts all rose to their throats, and they didn't dare to even make a sound.    

"Why did the Mother Saint become like this, and attack us?" A young Bishop spoke in a low voice, her face was filled with pain.    

"She was killed by the Ghost Saint and transformed into the Corpse Mud Undead. She no longer had any consciousness from when she was alive, and she was no longer the Mother Saint," a Flower Man Clan cultivator at the side of the Bishop said in pain.    

But at this time, a calm voice slowly came from the distance where the Bishop and cultivators were standing.    

"That's not right."    

After hearing that voice, everyone was slightly startled. Then, they turned their gazes to the source of the voice.    

From there, with a distance of a few hundred meters between them, Ye Kai sized up the sage who had turned into a Corpse Mud Undead with his dark green eyes, as if he was thinking about something.    

Indeed, just as Bishop and the others had said, normal Corpse Mud Undead did not have anyone's sexuality and was just a tool for the Ghost Saint to kill. The Matriarch in front of him was indeed such a person.    

Brutal, vicious and cold. However, from all of these, Ye Kai felt that there was a trace of other emotions in the mother's heart.    

Fear.    

In front of him, the sage was constantly shouting, using her recovered arms to constantly stroke the corpse mud below her waist.    

That was Ya Si's position.    

Right now, he did not attack, but the Matriarch did not seem to care about him at all. He only lowered his head and placed his hands on the pile of corpse mud.    

Furthermore, every time he made a breakthrough to the side of the sage, the sage would desperately push him back, as if she had gone mad …    

Thinking about it, Ye Kai's eyes lit up.    

"So that's how it is."    

When he said this, Ye Kai also did an action that all the Bishop and cultivators present could not understand.    

The Flaming Longsword disappeared in a flash of red light at the location of the right palm. Ye Kai actually didn't take a weapon, with both of his hands behind his back, he slowly raised his leg and walked towards the Mother Sage!    

"Hey, what are you doing!"    

A cultivator could not suppress the panic in his heart as he loudly shouted.    

"That's a Corpse Mud Undead that's been turned into meat paste when you walk in without any weapons!"    

Not only the cultivators, the Bishop s also nodded their heads as if they were mashing garlic, trying to dissuade Ye Kai from acting so stupidly.    

But Ye Kai shook his head, revealing a bitter smile.    

"You're wrong."    

"Huh?"    

"If it's really as you said, then from the moment she turned into the Corpse Mud Undead, she would have immediately descended from the Zhanluo Flower Tower and killed all of you.    

"Then what is it?"    

Ye Kai slowly said as he opened his mouth and stared straight at the Mother.    

"From the very beginning, she didn't plan to attack us. She only wanted to protect her children as a mother."    

Western Sparkling Garden.    

A full twenty seconds had passed since Machinery Saint Lear pulled the trigger.    

However, there was no trace of relief on his face. Instead, he looked at the target he wanted to kill with a grave expression.    

"Since when did you transform your body to this state?"    

Slowly opening his mouth, Lear looked towards Ghost Saint, who was not far away from him and said.    

Perhaps, the existence there, could no longer be called a "Ghost Saint".    

There, clumps of black mud thrashed about merrily on the ground and in the air. A few clumps of black mud congealed into the shape of a mouth, and it opened its mouth to answer Lear's question.    

"Ah, I can't remember."    

Even the arbiter of the Twelve Saints, the Machinery Saint Lear, had never thought that would actually transform her own body into that of a Corpse Mud Undead!    

"Such an inhumane thing, could it be that Han Yi forced you to do this again?"    

"Of course not, I volunteered." The mouth made of black mud snickered, then answered.    

"Speaking of which, this matter isn't really a secret in the other Twelve Saints. Only you and Ya Fu didn't know about this two hundred years ago,."    

"Yalalala, you can't blame us for your choice, Lear."    

"Are you crazy? "He doesn't even want his own physical body." Lear gritted his teeth and gripped the gun in his right hand.    

"What's wrong with that?" "There's nothing to be surprised about." A few clumps of black mud slowly condensed underneath the mouth, condensing into shoulder, two hands, and a torso …    

"Creteo will accept the beast blood and fuse his body with the Spiritual Beast. You will also transform a part of your body into an instrument, right?"    

"If that's the case, why would it be strange for me to transform myself into a Corpse Mud Undead?"    

"It's just that this will make me look especially ugly, so I won't use it unless it's absolutely necessary."    

As he said that, the corpse mud had already formed a human shape that was exactly the same as Ghost Saint, the black mud had slowly turned into the color of meat, and then, Ghost Saint who was leaning on the corpse mud to reincarnate, shook his head, moved his limbs and joints, at the same time looking at Machinery Saint Lear, grinning and laughing.    

"Besides Han Yi, the strongest warrior in the Twelve Saints? "Haha, interesting."    

"Let us begin the second round, Lear."    

The moment he said that, Machinery Saint Lear suddenly raised the silver hunting rifle in his right hand.    

"His movements are too slow!"    

Ghost Saint shouted, and a spike formed from corpse mud directly came out from the ground beneath his feet, and directly pierced through the arm that was holding the hunting rifle.    

"Howl!"    

His fingers and palm loosened from the pain, and the silver hunting rifle fell to the ground with a clatter as if it had been abandoned by its owner. Three spikes shot out from the ground and broke the hunting rifle into four pieces!    

"Crack!"    

Helpless, the spirit energy around Machinery Saint's left hand swirled, and a spirit energy hand grenade dropped from his palm, exploding on the ground.    

Boom!    

All the spikes were buried in the flame of the explosion, and Machinery Saint took this opportunity to hide himself from Ghost Saint's countless attacks.    

Around Ghost Saint, corpse aura filled the entire world, searching for Lear's body, Ila's entire person laughed out loud.    

"Hahahaha!" What's the matter with you, Lear? "    

"Blow through my defenses with a pistol. Blow through my head with a shotgun? Weren't they very good just now? Hahaha! "    

"Get the hell out here, Lear! I want the pain you've brought me!"    

"Double the repayment!"    

Balls of corpse mud shattered the rocks and flowers. In merely a dozen seconds, under the efforts of Ye Kai and Lear, the Sparkling Garden that was gradually recovering turned into a black hell once again.    

At this moment, there were still two minutes until the end of the time limit that the Magic Arts of Space And Time and the "time check" had brought to Machinery Saint Lear.
