"I don't know." Wu Yuer shook her head.
"Didn't you say that you saw it with your own eyes? Why are you saying that you don't know? "Fang Zhengzhi was speechless.
"Yes, but I ran when I saw that the situation was not right!" Wu Yuer flicked her hair and said matter-of-factly.
"..." Fang Zhengzhi was completely speechless. How could you be the leader of the Shadow Sect? Running away when you can't win? Is that really a good idea?
However, if Nangong Hao was after Yun Qingwu, why would Wu Yuer run?
That did not make sense.
Of course, Wu Yuer did not explain further, and Fang Zhengzhi did not press further. However, one thing was for sure, Wu Yuer had nothing to do with Nangong Hao.
"What about the offerings..."
Wu Yuer saw that Fang Zhengzhi was not speaking. She opened her mouth and was about to continue persuading him, but Fang Zhengzhi waved his hand lightly.
"I will consider the matter regarding the offerings. Let me out first."
"You know you can't win, but you still want to go?"
"How will I know if I don't try?"
"What if I tell you that the Southern Mountain Range is now completely under the control of the Demon Race? Not many people will be able to come back alive from this combat examination! You still … "Wu Yuer couldn't finish her sentence.
"If that is the case, then I want to go."
"Why?"
"Because he went."
"Who?"
"Yan Xiu!"
"Yan Xiu again. Are you willing to sacrifice your life for Yan Xiu?" Wu Yuer knew that Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu were close, but she did not expect him to do this for Yan Xiu.
"Yes." Fang Zhengzhi confirmed.
"I always thought that you were shameless, so shameless that you would not care about anyone... okay, what if I promise you that I can bring Yan Xiu back safely?" Wu Yuer sighed.
"Now that you say that, I am even more determined."
"What is it this time?"
"Because, if you really have the confidence to bring Yan Xiu back safely, then you should also have the confidence to bring me back safely, right?" Fang Zhengzhi said as he took a bite of a fruit.
"…" Wu Yuer's lips moved and she opened her mouth. Then, he shook his head. "You are different from Yan Xiu. Yan Xiu has people by his side, but you don't …"
"Don't I have you?"
"Me?" Wu Yuer stared at Fang Zhengzhi in shock. Her face was slightly red.
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"No problem. If you really want to go, then bring this with you." Wu Yuer nodded her head and took out an item made of beast skin from her robes.
"What's this?" Fangzheng took the beast skin from Wu Yuer's hands. He opened it and saw that there seemed to be a few big dots and some small dots on it.
"A map of the Southern Mountain Range."
"Map? How can such a crude map be called a map? "
"What do you know? The Southern Mountain Range is completely covered by forests and mountains. Furthermore, it's a vast area. It's impossible for outsiders to draw a detailed map of it. The map I'm giving you now is the most detailed one out there." Wu Yuer said with a hint of pride.
"You call this detailed?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the big dots on the map, as well as the small dots and a few faintly discernible lines. He did not think that the word 'detailed' could be used on such a lousy map.
"Let me give you a brief introduction. The Southern Mountain Range is different from the Great Xia Dynasty. The Southern Mountain Range is made up of tribes. There are thousands of them, but there are only seven major ones! "
"Seven?"
"Yes, other than the royal Shan Family Settlement, the other six are the Yan Ya Settlement, Shi Zun Settlement, Thunderous Lion Settlement, Icy Monkey Settlement, Iron Hill Settlement and Nan Ling Settlement! The Shan Family Settlement is the royal family. Located in the Sagely Mountain City of the Southern Mountain Range, the other six tribes are scattered around the city. "
"Sagely Mountain City?"
"Yes, the Sagely Mountain City. I heard that the combat examinations will be held in the Yan Ya Settlement. Shi Zun, Thunderous Lion and Icy Monkey Settlement. Actually, the position of the Southern Mountain Range from the sky looks like the Big Dipper. "
Big Dipper?
As Fang Zhengzhi listened, he unfurled the hide in his hands and took a look. At this time, he also discovered that there were indeed seven big dots on the map.
They were in the position of the Big Dipper.
Sagely Mountain City was located in the middle of the Big Dipper, and belonged to Alioth. Yan Ya, Shi Zun, Thunderous Lion, and Icy Monkey were located in the Dubhe, Merak, Phecda, and Megrez.
To put it simply, the Big Dipper was like a spoon. The Yan Ya, Shi Zun, Thunderous Lion and Icy Monkey settlements formed the spoon.
The Sagely Mountain City, Iron Hill Settlement and Nan Ling Settlement formed the handle of the spoon.
"I see!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded. Then, he looked at Wu Yuer and smiled faintly.
"What are you looking at?" Wu Yuer asked curiously.
"You told me that the Southern Mountain Range is controlled by the demons. Then, you told me about Nangong Hao's power. Then, you gave me the map of the Southern Mountain Range. Don't tell me that these are all coincidences?"
"This … this is just a precaution."
"What precaution?"
"Why should I tell you?"
"Okay then, I'm leaving."
"Are you so confident that I will let you go now?"
"If you don't intend to let me go, why would you waste so much time talking to me?" Fang Zhengzhi smiled as he looked at Wu Yuer.
"You … really want to go?"
"Of course!"
"Okay then, you can go."
"Oh? You're letting me go just like that? Shouldn't you send a few of your most powerful subordinates to protect me? "Fang Zhengzhi was slightly taken aback.
"You wish. You haven't even become a member of the Shadow Sect, who would send people to protect you?" Wu Yuer's mouth twitched as she replied scornfully.
"Open the door." Fang Zhengzhi said exasperatedly.
"Hang on, I have a question for you."
"What is it?"
"You … who do you think is the prettiest out of Chi Guyan, Yun Qingwu and Ping Yang?" Wu Yuer asked after some hesitation.
"Shouldn't I include you in this question?" Fang Zhengzhi chuckled.
"Include me? Then … Chi Guyan, Yun Qingwu, Ping Yang and me … who is the prettiest? "Wu Yuer blushed and her voice became softer.
"Of course my mum is the prettiest!" Fang Zhengzhi replied matter-of-factly.
"You … shameless fella! I've changed my mind, don't even think about leaving! "Wu Yuer disappeared from the spot like a puff of smoke. She disappeared without a trace.
"No way? She ran away! "Fang Zhengzhi was speechless when he saw Wu Yuer disappear. She left just like that? Didn't you say you were going to let me go?
Could there still be a little bit of trust between people?
…
The Southern Mountain Range was vast and filled with forests. The Stable Mountain Pass was the border. The area within the pass belonged to the Great Xia Dynasty, while the area outside the pass belonged to the Southern Mountain Range.
Even though the Great Xia Dynasty and the Southern Mountain Range were allies.
However, the Stable Mountain Pass was the border between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Southern Mountain Range. The buildings were majestic. The entire Stable Mountain Pass was made entirely out of limestone. The walls were 10 meters tall and sturdy.
However, there were not many battles in the Stable Mountain Pass. As such, there were not many traces of history on the walls. This meant that the relationship between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Southern Mountain Range had always been good.
The 100,000 strong army rested for a night in the Stable Mountain Pass. The next morning, they were received by the ambassadors from the Southern Mountain Range. Then. Crown Prince Lin Tianrong reiterated the rules of the combat examination once more.
All of the candidates led their troops into the Southern Mountain Range.
How big was the Southern Mountain Range?
Not many people knew the answer to this question. However, it was at least half the size of the Great Xia Dynasty. However, there were far fewer people in the Southern Mountain Range than the Great Xia Dynasty.
Mountains and beasts were everywhere. This was a true reflection of the Southern Mountain Range.
"It's hard to even walk in this place. When will we see a village?" One of the candidates lamented as he looked at the dense forest in front of him.
"Brother Li, you're wrong. There are no villages here. It's a tribe. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. "Another candidate chuckled.
"Both of us are from reputable families. If not for the combat examinations, why would we come to this place? I... quick, there's movement in front. Get into formation! "
"Brother Li, there's no need to be so nervous. It's just a few Vicious Beasts that ran away. We have a total of four thousand soldiers. As long as we don't meet any beasts, we can sweep through them. "
"Hahaha... Brother Wang is right. Let's go, let's hunt a few wild beasts for our brothers!"
"If Brother Li is interested, why don't we have a hunting competition?"
"Sure!" When one of the candidates heard this, he smiled and nodded his head. Then, he turned his horse around and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "All of you rest here. Brother Wang and I will be back soon!"
"Li... General, the Southern Mountain Range is filled with ferocious beasts. Wouldn't it be better to send some soldiers to follow behind?" A soldier who looked like a general asked worriedly.
"Hahaha... I am in the pinnacle Heavenly Reflection State. Do I need your protection?" The candidate said disdainfully.
"It's just that..."
"There's no need to say anything else. Let's eat the wild beasts!"
"Yes, this subordinate obeys!"
"Brother Wang, I was tricked by Fang Zhengzhi in the hunting grounds last time. Shall we compete again today?" The candidate turned to look at the youth beside him.
"Since we are going to compete, we should at least get something out of it. I think... let's use my jade pendant as the wager?" The candidate chuckled.
"Brother Wang, you've even bet your jade pendant. I can't be too stingy. I'll bet my jade plate with you!"
"Alright, let's begin!"
"Go!"
"Go!"
...
15 minutes later, two corpses lay on the ground about two miles away from where the soldiers were resting. Next to the corpses were eight masked men in black robes.
"Humans... are so stupid!"
