Gate of God

“Get past my auntie Qian Yu?”

“Did he just try to get Ling Yun Tower involved? Most importantly, did Qian Yu actually step in to defend him?”

“This fellow… Is truly shameless!”

All the surrounding disciples put on a strange expression after they heard Fang Zhengzhi. After all, it would further complicate things once Ling Yun Tower was involved.

Having said that, they were surprised that Ling Yun Tower and Shadow Sect would step in at this moment because this meant that Fang Zhengzhi was important to both sects.

Dao Hun’s feelings were mixed as well.

If Dao Hun had previously felt like it was a certain victory, then the current development was definitely out of his expectations.

Not only did Shadow Sect stepped in, even Ling Yun Tower’s Qian Yu decided to interfere. Coupled with Fang Zhengzhi’s ridiculous power, this was becoming a tough nut for Dao Hun to crack.

However, that was precisely why…

Dao Hun’s killing intent towards Fang Zhengzhi was growing stronger.

‘Shadow Sect? Ling Yun Tower! I definitely can’t let this fellow grow any stronger!’ Dao Hun knew that once he missed a good opportunity like this, it would be even more unlikely to catch Fang Zhengzhi slipping up in the future. He had to take advantage of this mess to kill Fang Zhengzhi.

However, he also knew about Qian Yu’s strength.

After all, the battle that took place outside Great Xia Dynasty’s Flame Capital City over a decade ago still left a deep impression in many people’s minds.

Dao Hun clenched his fists tightly because it would be impossible to take down Fang Zhengzhi with Qian Yu defending him.

“I only speculated that Shadow Sect is working with the Monster race due to its relationship with Fang Zhengzhi. However, I certainly didn’t foresee that even one of the Five Sects of the Holy Region, Ling Yun Tower, is affiliated with them. This is definitely a surprise for me!” Dao Hun glanced at Wu Yuer and Qian Yu coldly and questioned them.

It had to be mentioned that Dao Hun was extremely calm in handling this sudden change. He managed to frame Shadow Sect and Ling Yun Tower with a simple sentence.

The surrounding disciples’ expression changed when they heard that. They glanced at each other with the same doubt in their minds.

‘Are Shadow Sect and Ling Yun Tower colluding with the Monster race too?’

‘If that’s the case…’

‘The entire Holy Region, or even the entire world, may be thrown into chaos!’

“Hallmaster Dao is really proficient at making unfounded accusations!” Qian Yu scoffed and replied. Then, she glanced at the rainbow that descended from the sky and continued, “I believe that everyone knows whether my Ling Yun Tower is colluding with the Monster race. On the contrary, what’s Hallmaster Dao’s intention for causing dissension amongst the Five Sects of the Holy Region at this moment and giving the monsters time to recover themselves?”

“The proof is solid and I’m just trying to get rid of a menace for mankind. Tower Master Qian, aren’t you biased by your emotions and protecting him on purpose by saying that I’m causing dissension?”

“So what if I am? I AM going to protect him, and what could you do about that?” Qian Yu wasn’t courteous either. She walked out directly and appeared beside Fang Zhengzhi in just a blink.

“Qian Yu, are you trying to become mankind’s enemy?”

“I just don’t want to be on the same side as you!”

“You…” Dao Hun was too agitated to come up with a reply.

“If you want a fight, bring it on! Stop wasting time!” Qian Yu was extremely arrogant.

“Fine. I shall get a taste of Tower Master Qian’s prowess today!” Dao Hun opened his palm and a pair of black and white swords appeared in his hands instantly.

Fang Zhengzhi looked towards Bai Fei at this moment. With Qian Yu here, he naturally didn’t have to worry about Dao Hun. However, he was extremely puzzled by Bai Fei.

He didn’t know what the Nangong Nobles’ plan was, but he had a feeling that everything was part of Bai Fei’s calculations.

Bai Fei?

Fang Zhengzhi clearly remembered that he didn’t wipe out Nine Pinnacles Mountain completely when he left. They were just badly injured.

‘Why was Nine Pinnacles Mountain occupied by the Monster race and how did Bai Fei become Nine Pinnacles Mountain’s new leader? Did something happen to Nine Pinnacles Mountain after I left?’

If that was the case, it meant that his conflict with Nine Pinnacles Mountain was also part of Bai Fei’s scheme, and that was too terrifying.

“Auntie, I’ll leave Dao Hun to you!” Said Fang Zhengzhi. Then, he looked at Wu Yuer and continued, “Yu’er, keep Ping Yang and Yan’er safe!”

“Ok!” Wu Yuer didn’t argue with Fang Zhengzhi this time. She waved her hand at Shadow Sect’s disciples and hundreds of them immediately surrounded Ping Yang and Chi Guyan.

At this instance, several generals wearing heavy armors walked out of Great Xia Dynasty’s corner. Each of them was exuding intense radiance.

“Please be rest assured, Prince Cang. We’ll also be responsible for Princess Ping Yang’s and Princess Chi Guyan’s safety!” They paid respect to Fang Zhengzhi after saying that.

Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi naturally saw this.

They glanced at each other and saw the worry in each other’s eyes. After all, more infighting would definitely make the situation more chaotic.

Most importantly, Fang Zhengzhi was obviously unlike how he was when he had just entered the Holy Region. Not only was he extremely powerful himself, but he also had Shadow Sect and Ling Yun Tower behind his back.

“This is a mess, this is a complete mess!” The ominous feeling in Mo Shanshi’s heart grew stronger as he watched the situation unfold. He felt like he didn’t know how to handle this anymore.

“Let’s put the other things aside and take down Nangong Hao together first!” Mu Qingfeng shared Mo Shanshi’s feelings, but he knew that they couldn’t waste any more time.

After all, the conflict between Fang Zhengzhi and Yin Yang Hall couldn’t be remedied in a short time.

There was an order of priority and the first thing on the list was definitely taking down Nangong Hao. If they remain distracted, it would undoubtedly give Nangong Hao too much time.

“Ok!” Mo Shanshi nodded. He had obviously understood Mu Qingfeng’s train of thought.

Mo Shanshi charged towards Nangong Hao once again without any hesitation, completely disregarding the two monsters in front of him.

“You have to get past us if you want to kill Nangong Hao!” The two monsters stopped Mo Shanshi and there was a demonic radiance on their faces.

“Screw off!” Mu Qingfeng appeared in front of the monsters and attacked them, opening a path for Mo Shanshi.

The chaotic fight continued.

Fang Zhengzhi held his Traceless Sword tighter at this moment. He glimpsed at the generals of the Great Xia Dynasty and looked at Lin Mubai, who was nodding at him. He naturally knew that Lin Mubai was supporting him.

He rushed towards Bai Fei without saying a word because he speculated that Bai Fei was the root cause of everything.

‘He’s running away?’ Dao Hun became a little anxious when he saw Fang Zhengzhi rushing towards Bai Fei. After all, he was convinced that Fang Zhengzhi was colluding with the Monster race.

In that case, Fang Zhengzhi was most likely trying to escape or seek protection from the Monster race.

“Yan Xiu, Fang Zhengzhi is mankind’s enemy for working with the monsters. Don’t give him a chance to escape, kill him!” Dao Hun shouted at Yan Xiu as he charged towards Qian Yu.

“Kill him?” Yan Xiu looked a little lost. Under normal circumstances, he felt that he should believe Dao Hun.

After all, it was Dao Hun who saved his life.

However, for some reason, he didn’t want to become Fang Zhengzhi’s enemy. That was because he had yet to figure out why Fang Zhengzhi let him took ‘credit’.

Nevertheless, he still moved.

While Fang Zhengzhi rushed towards Bai Fei, Yan Xiu also turned into a shadow in the air. The shadow blinked several times in the air in a strange manner before it appeared in front of Fang Zhengzhi.

Fang Zhengzhi was caught off guard.

He was obviously surprised, but he didn’t stop or even ask Yan Xiu if he wanted to kill him.

Swoosh! Fang Zhengzhi’s Traceless Sword lashed out towards Bai Fei in a flash with a demonic purple radiance. It was as if he didn’t see Yan Xiu at all.

“Don’t hurt my lord!” Following that voice, a figure appeared in front of Bai Fei and shielded him. His black cloak was blown by the wind and revealed a pair of ice-blue eyes.

“Your lord?” Fang Zhengzhi squinted with surprise. After all, that appellation didn’t seem like it was made up on the spot.

However, this was definitely not the time to think about that.

His sword didn’t falter.

Following the flash of an azure radiance, Fang Zhengzhi zoomed past the figure in front of him instantly and appeared before Bai Fei.

“Fang Zhengzhi, you won’t succeed!” At this instance, another figure bolted out. It was obvious that Bai Fei wasn’t just guarded by a single monster.

A green radiance appeared and turned into a jade-like barrier, stopping right in the middle of Bai Fei and Fang Zhengzhi. Meanwhile, two short daggers appeared in his hands.

“Eh? There’s another one?” Fang Zhengzhi was a little surprised.

Just then, a few claw-like shadows suddenly appeared from the ground behind Fang Zhengzhi and went for his back.

“Yan Xiu, you didn’t disappoint me after all!” A chilling flash appeared in Dao Hun’s eyes when he saw that because he knew that those claws were Yan Xiu’s attack.

Resistance in the front and a sneak attack from the back!

Dao Hun was almost certain that Fang Zhengzhi would be severely wounded even if he somehow survived that.

“Die…” Dao Hun mumbled softly, but he didn’t finish his sentence because he froze in the next second.

That was due to the fact that those black claws which seemed to have headed for Fang Zhengzhi suddenly changed their direction creepily at the last moment.

It actually overtook Fang Zhengzhi and blasted the green barrier.

Boom!

The green barrier cracked from the powerful attack like a piece of glass. It looked like it could shatter at any second.

“What’s going on?” Dao Hun was obviously startled.

In fact, all the disciples felt the same because they clearly heard what Dao Hun had said to Yan Xiu.

‘Kill Fang Zhengzhi!’

‘Why did Yan Xiu suddenly change his target?’

It was a strange scene.

No one knew what Yan Xiu was thinking.

However, Yan Xiu had actually avoided Fang Zhengzhi, who didn’t seem like he wanted to move away from those claws.

Without adjusting his movement, the Traceless Sword pierced the cracked barrier.

Boom! Fang Zhengzhi went through the barrier and his Traceless Sword penetrated the figure in front of him like a soul-seeking specter.

It was too fast.

No one could even react in time.

The figure in front of Fang Zhengzhi froze on the spot. The wind blew his black cloak away and revealed a freakishly youthful face.

However, there was strong disbelief on his face.

“Wh… Why?!” It was obvious that even till his death, this monster couldn’t figure out why Yan Xiu had suddenly changed his target.

That was because he didn’t arrive late. On the other hand, he was here fairly early, and that was why he knew full well about what had happened to Yan Xiu.

‘Is it possible…’

‘That Yan Xiu didn’t lose his memories?’

‘Impossible!’

‘If Yan Xiu didn’t lose his memories, why couldn’t he recognize Yan Qianli? Most importantly, Dao Hun had clearly ordered him to kill Fang Zhengzhi.’

He couldn’t understand nor accept this outcome.

Nonetheless, that didn’t matter anymore because Fang Zhengzhi’s sword had already pierced his chest, and it wasn’t stopping.

Slash! An azure radiance appeared.

Traceless Sword went past his body in a split second, and so did Fang Zhengzhi. This sword was as fast as a falling star.

It was so fast that his blood wasn’t spilled.

At the next instance, Fang Zhengzhi appeared in front of Bai Fei and his Traceless Sword stabbed at Bai Fei with the same momentum.

“No!”

“No!”

At this moment, the monsters fighting in the sky and the figures standing behind Bai Fei were all stunned.

However, it was too late.

That was because Traceless Sword had pierced Bai Fei’s chest.
