Gate of God

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

Fang Zhengzhi naturally knew what the Heavenly Oasis Saint was thinking about. He was using wealth and the dangers of the outside world to make Fang Zhengzhi succumb to him.

This was a commonly used psychological tactic.

When a person was exposed to the dangers of the outside world, he would feel unsettled. If someone were to offer him a hand into the Shadow Sect who possessed great wealth and power at that exact moment…

Would anyone reject the offer?

That seemed impossible.

However, Fang Zhengzhi rejected it. He had to do so every single day for an entire year and did so without any hesitation every time.

The reason was simple. The conditions were not satisfactory.

In exchange for the wealth and power, Fang Zhengzhi had to stay loyal to the Shadow Sect and deem its goals as his responsibilities, even to the point of dying for the organization.

Naturally, the Shadow Sect could fulfill many of his wishes, such as anything related to wealth and power. More importantly, Wu Yuer might agree to Fang Zhengzhi’s proposal.

He would live a comfortable life.

However, this was unacceptable to Fang Zhengzhi.

Wu Yuer might not even accept him. She would merely consider.

Fang Zhengzhi was a man with pride. How could he allow himself to suffer the disgrace of marrying into a more wealthy family? He rejected it without a second thought.

The result was clear.

Fang Zhengzhi would help the Shadow Sect from the shadows and help them achieve the dream of a business empire. He would devise plans that would maximize the benefits on the end of the Shadow Sect.

The Shadow Sect would then become Fang Zhengzhi’s greatest aide, providing him with information.

This was also a type of equivalent exchange.

However, what lay beyond the new gate? The Heavenly Oasis Saint would not reveal them no matter what. Furthermore, there was a limit to the amount of information the Shadow Sect could provide.

Putting it simply, if Fang Zhengzhi wanted more money, he could get them. However, he must first show that he was capable of earning them. It was a new form of cooperation.

In Fang Zhengzhi’s words, its called a mutually beneficial situation.

He was satisfied with this result.

However, the Heavenly Oasis Saint was not happy with this arrangement. This was especially so after Fang Zhengzhi had continuously shown his capabilities in raking in resources and benefits for the Shadow Sect, allowing him to gain more benefits along the way.

But Fang Zhengzhi was not an easy target as well.

Fang Zhengzhi had had many encounters with such “low-level” tactics in the past. How could he fall into such a trap?

As what the Heavenly Oasis Saint had said, the Shadow Sect was not the strongest force.

Since there was more to be desired, why would he want to join them?

Furthermore, Fang Zhengzhi loved his current free and unbounded lifestyle. Why would he want to be tied down by the Shadow Sect and even swear his life to an organization?

That was what Fang Zhengzhi thought in the past.

However, those thoughts were slowly changing.

A Dragon Slayer Slash that had been powered up over ten times only managed to deal some minor internal injuries to this woman named Cang Yue. What is the deal with this Ling Yun?

Boom! A rumble could be heard.

The flowing milky way came to a stop and stopped right in front of Ping Yang. The stars glimmered while they stood still in their positions.

Cang Yue’s hand stopped.

She was looking at Ping Yang. More specifically, it was the speckle of light in Ping Yang’s eyes, the brilliance that shone through the darkness.

As Cang Yue stared at the speck of light, it expanded in size, illuminating the darkness.

“What is going on?”

“It stopped?”

“It finally stopped!”

Cold sweat formed on the foreheads of the soldiers from the Mountain Breaking Army and Yan Cloud Calvary. The moment they saw Cang Yue attacking Fang Zhengzhi, they thought they were going to witness another tragedy in one night.

However, Cang Yue stopped attacking. The expression on her face seemed extremely serious.

Ping Yang’s chest heaved as fear overwhelmed her. She bit her lips in apprehension, causing a drop of blood to fall from her lips.

“Scram!” Cang Yue’s voice was cold. However, she did not intend to launch another attack.

No one knew why Cang Yue would suddenly stop her assault.

Wasn’t she here to kill Ping Yang?

Then why would she stop right when Ping Yang was standing in front of Fang Zhengzhi? Wasn’t that the perfect chance to kill her?

“No!” Ping Yang muttered. She did not plan to beg Cang Yue for forgiveness. She had a determined expression on her face.

“Aren’t you afraid that I will kill you?” Cang Yue frowned as she said.

“You can kill me, but I still will not budge!” Ping Yang spread her arms out and did not have any intention of moving.

However, at that moment, Fang Zhengzhi placed his hands on Ping Yang’s shoulders. He was afraid of death, he was very afraid. Alas, he still could not allow himself to stand behind Ping Yang.

He took a step forward and pulled Ping Yang behind him.

He had placed his sword down and the sinister purple light on the horizon had disappeared. He stared emotionlessly at Cang Yue, his crystal-clear eyes fixed on the milky way in front of him.

Ping Yang wanted to resist. However, her body was held in place by Fang Zhengzhi and she could not even budge.

Wu Yuer was just about to say something when she swallowed her words. She merely stood quietly at her spot and stared at Fang Zhengzhi. Her hands were still clasped tightly at her waist.

Countless light spots in the milky way moved once again, charging straight towards Fang Zhengzhi’s chest like a ferocious tsunami wave.

“Cang Yue, even if you do not acknowledge me, I am still half your owner. If you dare to harm them, I will use all my powers to defeat you, even if it means destroying the country!” Lin Mubai’s voice rang. It was a frail but determined voice.

“Just for him? A person that has less than six months left to live?” Cang Yue’s hand once again stopped as she cast her glance upon the man in golden robes on the castle wall.

“Yes!” Lin Mubai shouted.

“Why?” Cang Yue asked.

“Dignity!” Lin Mubai did not answer Cang Yue’s question directly. He merely uttered a word that seemed unrelated to the situation.

“Dignity? Haha… how presumptuous! Alright then, I will not kill him. However, Lin Mubai please remember, I do not care about your pitiful dignity. The only reason I am not killing him is because he is still a dead man,” Cang Yue sniggered before she continued, “Also, Lin Mubai, please do not mention that you are half my owner. You are not worthy of it!”

“Not worthy!”

Cang Yue’s voice echoed through the night sky and reverberated through the city. Lin Mubai stayed silent and merely bit his lip.

“Ping Yang, how are you feeling?” Chen Feihua broke the silence as a worried and anxious expression overwhelmed her face.

“Aunt Hua, I am fine,” Ping Yang said as she nodded at Chen Feihua.

She was not covering up her injuries. She could feel the warmth in her body repairing the damaged parts of her body. Her blood was flowing with vigor once again and her bones were healing. Her organs seemed to be extremely active, as though she had just gotten a new body.

However, Ping Yang knew that the price of her recovery was Fang Zhengzhi’s life.

Less than half a year.

Without the help of the Demon Pearl, would it be possible to go from the Supernatural State all the way to the Saint State in such a short period of time?

Fang Zhengzhi you shameless guy, why did you do that? I thought you were selfish! Didn’t you want everything good to yourself?

Why then, would you give me the Demon Pearl?

Fang Zhengzhi did not speak. He did not even look into Ping Yang’s eyes. He merely put away his sword before he stared at the torrential rain.

Was he not dead?

More precisely, he was on a temporary lifespan.

He was still more suited to stay by the sidelines and watch as people fight over benefits. He would then come in at the end to reap the benefits.

However, he still got himself directly involved in the end.

If Wu Yuer had appeared, it meant that Yun Qingwu’s plan should be completed. He had really gotten the short-end of the stick this time around.

Fang Zhengzhi sighed helplessly. This fight was at its end.

“Come with me,” Just as Fang Zhengzhi was keeping his sword, Cang Yue’s voice rang once again. Of course, her words were meant for Ping Yang and not Fang Zhengzhi.

“What? Where to?” Ping Yang froze in her tracks as she asked. She did not understand Cang Yue’s words. However, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

“Cang Yue, Yu er… Is Yu er willing to…” Lin Mubai’s voice sounded once again.

“This does not concern you!” Cang Yue’s gaze turned cold. She did not intend to give any more explanation. She turned and walked towards the pillar of light that was connected to the horizon and said, “Come with me if you wish to see your mother.”

“I…” Ping Yang’s lips moved slightly as her chest heaved with greater intensity. She seemed agitated, though she did not follow Cang Yue immediately. She turned her gaze towards Fang Zhengzhi.

“Are you not coming?” Cang Yue stopped in front of the light pillar. She neither turned to look behind her nor did she enter the light pillar.

“I… I am not leaving!” Ping Yang gritted her teeth and shouted after hesitating for a moment. She shook her head forcefully with a determined expression.

“You are not coming? Haha… do you really think you a princess and everyone has to curry favor from you? Let me tell you, although your mother is my master, you are nothing to me!” Cang Yue’s body shuddered as she spoke. A peculiar expression seemed to cloud over her face. However, a moment later, she restored her usual stone-cold demeanor.

She did not inquire about Ping Yang’s reasons. She merely made her stand clear in one simple sentence.

As Lin Mubai heard Cang Yue’s words, he clenched his fist tightly. He applied so much force that his fingers had turned slightly white.
