Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
“Eh? What happened to exchanging the hostages peacefully? Did she lose her mind so quickly…” Fang Zhengzhi didn’t seem to be surprised when Qian Ye flew into a rage.
After all, it meant that what he said had crossed her line, because it was getting closer to the truth.
In fact, Fang Zhengzhi had no choice but to do this, because he couldn’t think of a second way to expose the truth. Therefore, he kept provoking Qian Ye till the point where she couldn’t control her emotions anymore.
Although the reward was high, there were risks involved too. Fang Zhengzhi was about to take the heat of Qian Ye’s anger.
He pulled Ping Yang behind his back and used Traceless Sword to place Cang Yue between Qian Ye and himself.
Screech!
Qian Ye forced herself to stop in front of Cang Yue. Her face was as black as it could be. It was obvious that she was truly enraged.
However, despite her anger, she was still concerned about Cang Yue’s life.
“Leader, are you insecure? Was I right to say that Leader Lan handed over the leader’s position to Yu Er instead of you? Unwilling to accept that outcome, you killed Leader Lan while she was severely injured and sealed Yu Er by pretending it was Leader Lan’s order!”
“Fang Zhengzhi, do you really think that you could threaten me with Cang Yue?” Qian Ye glanced at Cang Yue and then turned towards Fang Zhengzhi. The two golden orbs were still spinning in her hands.
At the same time, two of the disciples in white also charged towards Lin Mubai rapidly and attacked him.
Lin Mubai chose to fight back, but his resistance didn’t last long because he was already badly wounded.
“Bang!” Following a muffled rumble, Lin Mubai was subdued again.
“Fang Zhengzhi, don’t worry about me. I know that you’ve already tried your best. Escape with Ping Yang right now!” Lin Mubai shouted at Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi completely disregarded Lin Mubai.
Firstly, it was improbable for him to escape even if he wanted to. Secondly, Ping Yang wouldn’t let him escape without Lin Mubai.
On the surface, it seemed like the they were back to square one. However, Fang Zhengzhi was well aware that holding Cang Yue hostage was pretty much pointless.
So long as Lin Mubai was in their hands, Fang Zhengzhi couldn’t possibly leave him for dead, and he couldn’t kill Cang Yue either.
Hence, holding Cang Yue hostage was like a double-edged sword which might backfire any minute.
Of course, from Ling Yun Tower’s point of view, they couldn’t threaten Fang Zhengzhi with Lin Mubai’s life either.
If Qian Ye really wanted Lin Mubai dead, he would have died already. Furthermore, the most important thing was… Fang Zhengzhi was still undefeated!
In other words, Fang Zhengzhi’s existence continued to be a threat to Ling Yun Tower, which in turn guaranteed Lin Mubai’s safety temporarily.
“I’ve never thought about threatening you with a hostage. After all, I’ve already agreed to exchanging Lin Mubai with Cang Yue just now. It was you who broke the agreement.” Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.
“Fine, release Cang Yue then!”
“I am fine with that. The exchange would have already ended if you didn’t act rashly and tried to kill me because you were afraid that everyone would find out it was you who murdered Leader Lan.” Fang Zhengzhi replied calmly.
“Fang Zhengzhi, I’ve to admit that you’re a good talker. However, your baseless allegations aren’t working at all!”
“In that case, why won’t you let me finish my words? I’m guessing that…”
“Bang!”
Lin Mubai landed in front of Fang Zhengzhi and interrupted his sentence.
Why did that happen?
It was simply because Qian Ye tossed him over while Fang Zhengzhi was about to keep guessing.
He had to admit that she was very sincere.
Fang Zhengzhi had never seen such a sincere response before. She didn’t even wait for him to finish his sentence before tossing the hostage over.
In that case, he had to reciprocate Qian Ye’s sincerity.
Without much hesitation, Fang Zhengzhi kicked Cang Yue’s buttock and sent her away.
“Boom!” Cang Yue landed on her face.
She was extremely upset, but she sat up straight immediately because she was in an unsightly position.
“Fang Zhengzhi, I’m going to kill you!”
“A servant like you who is unwilling to admit her wrongdoings even after knowing the truth, and continues to serve the enemy of her master, is not qualified to kill me!” Fang Zhengzhi glanced at Cang Yue condescendingly.
“You…” Cang Yue was so mad that she couldn’t come up with a reply.
“Kill Fang Zhengzhi!” Qian Ye was obviously not interested in any more of Fang Zhengzhi’s guesses. She interrupted their conversation and her eyes turned completely golden in a flash.
The nine golden stars above her shined even brighter. She was covered by countless spots of golden lights, as if she was showering in golden raindrops.
“Understood!” All the disciples kneeling on the ground raised their heads and unleashed many different colored radiances as well.
They surrounded Fang Zhengzhi, Lin Mubai, and Ping Yang almost instantaneously, drawing their swords on the trio.
“Yo, is this the final battle?” Fang Zhengzhi knew that Qian Ye was taking advantage of their numbers in a desperate attempt to kill him.
This was unfair, because Fang Zhengzhi would truly be in a tough spot if he had to fight against all of Ling Yun Tower’s disciples, in addition to Qian Ye.
After all, Ling Yun Tower’s greatest weapon was their ability to fuse and combine their powers. However, that was definitely not their only weapon.
Ling Yun Tower was incomparable to Nine Pinnacles Mountain.
Although Ling Yun Tower had fewer disciples, their true strength was leagues ahead of Nine Pinnacles Mountain.
There were still over 100 disciples standing before them, excluding the 100 odd disciples who were injured. Each one of them was at least at Rebirth State, and there were even 20 Sages.
Most importantly, Qian Ye was here too. No one knew how strong she truly was.
Qian Ye was wary of Fang Zhengzhi because she wasn’t aware of his true power. However, Fang Zhengzhi was wary of her for the same reason too.
He wasn’t 100% confident in winning, and to make things worse, there were unpredictable risks involved.
What should he do?
Fang Zhengzhi had a simple solution to this situation.
“Don’t be scared and just do it!”
If he really couldn’t defeat them, he just had to run away!
The choices were clear, because there wasn’t a sure-fire way to win a battle in the world. Even the most meticulous plan might be derailed by unforeseen accidents.
For example, if a person was walking in a forest alone, he couldn’t predict if he would be attacked by a ferocious beast, or maybe even several sword-wielding men.
No one could be sure about the future.
If a person wanted to avoid the uncertainties and chose a different path, he would never be able to make it out of the forest. To sum it up, everyone had to take risks in their lives.
“Die!” Fang Zhengzhi charged forward wearing a black armor engulfed by a black flame.
The purple radiance on Traceless Sword also grew brighter tremendously. It turned into a purple dragon as it headed towards Qian Ye’s head.
“…” Cang Yue opened her eyes wide with astonishment. Since she was standing beside Qian Ye, she could detect Fang Zhengzhi’s intense killing desire. However, she never expected him to initiate an attack voluntarily.
The other disciples of Ling Yun Tower were equally caught off guard.
After all, a normal person would have chosen to defend himself and try to escape at the right time.
However, Fang Zhengzhi didn’t seem like he wanted to do that.
He attacked Qian Ye right away without even giving a heads-up.
“What is he thinking?!”
“Is he for real?”
The disciples of Ling Yun Tower were truly startled by Fang Zhengzhi. If they didn’t know how smart he was, they would have wondered if he was a doppelganger.
However… Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t the only one acting rashly.
Ping Yang also moved simultaneously. Her fiery red dress danced in the wind and her eyes seemed to be burning brightly. Her Blazing Qilin Spear turned an enormous amount of flames into an extremely concentrated golden stream of light.
The stream of light immediately shot towards Qian Ye after it appeared, and that left everyone dumbfounded.
The disciples weren’t too surprised that Fang Zhengzhi attacked Qian Ye, but they never expected Ping Yang, who had just become a Sage, to attack Qian Ye as well.
Ping Yang, on the other hand… Didn’t seem to notice the weird expressions on their faces. She was copying exactly what Fang Zhengzhi was doing.
“Die!” She yelled and thrust Blazing Qilin Spear at Qian Ye’s throat. The golden stream of light was barely visible amongst the golden light spots.
Qian Ye smiled.
However, it was a chilling smile. For the first time, she felt like she was bullied repeatedly.
As the mighty leader of Ling Yun Tower and one of the most distinguished masters in the Holy Region, it was unacceptable that they disregarded her again and again. Furthermore, even Ping Yang, who had just become a Sage, dared to challenge her.
She couldn’t tolerate the disrespect anymore.
“Crack!”
The golden orb in her hands exploded, and an intense green light burst out at an insane speed.
Fang Zhengzhi immediately felt a terrifying power coming from her hand. It was so overpowering that even he was incapable of stopping it.
Rumble!
The ground cracked open at this moment and a giant rock surfaced. It was overrun by mosses almost immediately, and the mosses turned into a bunch of tiny shoots very quickly. In almost the blink of an eyes, the tiny shoots grew into humongous trees.
Mountains, waterfalls, lakes, and gigantic trees…
Fang Zhengzhi saw all of them before his eyes while Ling Yun Tower disappeared without a trace. Of course, apart from these sceneries, there was a person standing beside him. She was obviously struck dumb by what she saw.
It was Ping Yang.
“Eh? Where’s Qian Ye!” Ping Yang asked Fang Zhengzhi, who appeared to be startled as well.
“Is this an illusion?” Fang Zhengzhi didn’t answer Ping Yang’s question. He was looking around him because it felt strange.
It appeared as if he was transported into a random region. There were mountains and lakes, but Ling Yun Tower was nowhere to be found. Normally speaking, this should be some sort of illusion.
It wasn’t possible to teleport someone so far away so quickly. However, everything that he was seeing felt real.
The mosses that eventually grew into gigantic trees definitely followed the laws of nature.
“This isn’t an illusion?” Fang Zhengzhi looked closer at the mountains and waterfalls before he suddenly had a wild thought, “Why does this place look exactly like Yan Xiu’s Mountain River Illustration? Was Yan Qianli in a relationship with Qian Ye before?!”
