Fang Zhengzhi was filled with questions.
Ping Yang, what exactly does this girl have that even a half-step Saint has to worry about?
The night grew colder and the moon shone brighter. After some time, Canyang finally nodded his head. He seemed to be relieved.
"Mm, your highness is right. I know what the consequences are, but... I don't think the Blood Shadow City will be the only one to bear the consequences. Your highness, can you bear to see the Great Xia Dynasty suffer as well? "Canyang 'looked' at Ping Yang, his voice raspy.
"Hmph, blind man! I know what you are thinking. Do you think no one will dare to speak of it? I am warning you, let me go now. If not, when I come of age, I will not let you off! "Ping Yang's expression froze when she heard Canyang's words.
"Come of age? Hmm … This is a new problem. Indeed, if Your Royal Highness is an adult, I wouldn't dare to do anything to you. But if I remember correctly, Your Royal Highness is only 14 years old this year. You will only be an adult in two years, right? "
Canyang shook his head and waved his right hand. Ping Yang, who was in mid-air, was pulled towards him.
"An adult? In two years? You wouldn't dare to do anything to her? "
Fang Zhengzhi was confused when he heard the conversation between Canyang and Ping Yang. What was going on? What was so great about Ping Yang being an adult?
She was just a Star Conglomerate cultivator...
How could she be afraid of a half sage when she was an adult?
This must be a joke, right?
Fang Zhengzhi did not believe it at all. If that was really the case, then wouldn't he be the first one to suffer the consequences of his actions in Ping Yang Residence?
Canyang must have gone senile. Not only was his eyesight damaged, his brain was damaged as well. If it was him, he would have sealed Ping Yang's mouth.
Otherwise, with Ping Yang spouting such nonsense there …
"Let go of me, let go of me, stupid blind man, stupid blind man... ah ah, let go of me, Fang Zhengzhi, you shameless b * stard, I saved you, why aren't you saving me!"
Just as Fang Zhengzhi had expected, Ping Yang's voice reverberated in the air. Other than the insults, there were also some words that made Fang Zhengzhi feel extremely awkward.
"Shut her up!" Fang Zhengzhi screamed in his heart.
However, Canyang was unfazed. Instead, he allowed Ping Yang to do as she pleased. He looked like a small boat in the middle of a raging storm.
Fang Zhengzhi pursed his lips as he listened to Ping Yang's unbridled words.
Let her do as she pleases, I will cross the river.
Not square at all.
Uh …
Fang Zhengzhi felt that this sentence was a little strange. He felt that the original version should not have been like this. However, he did not want to bother about this. This was because, as Ping Yang continued to "shout", all eyes were on him.
As expected, it was awkward.
Fang Zhengzhi let out a bitter smile.
He wanted to shout, "What are you looking at?" He wanted to shout, "What are you looking at?"
However, he did not shout it out.
In some ways, Fang Zhengzhi admitted that he was a shameless person. However, he could not ignore an "innocent girl" who had just saved his life.
That...
He could not do it.
What should he do?
Could it be that he really had to bear the infamy of being ungrateful?
"Fang Zhengzhi, save me! Didn't you control the Heaven Dao? Come and beat him up! Help me beat this blind man up! "Ping Yang's voice rang out once more.
The Dragon Protection Squad, the Mountain Breaking Army, and the Southern Region soldiers all stared at each other in confusion.
They wanted to save him.
However, they could not do it.
Now...
Only Fang Zhengzhi, who had mastered the Heavenly Dao, had a sliver of hope.
However, why was Fang Zhengzhi not doing anything?
Countless pairs of eyes were fixed on Fang Zhengzhi, waiting for the peerless genius who had mastered the Heaven Dao to attack again. One had to say that this was a sick mentality.
Under normal circumstances, they would not trust Fang Zhengzhi.
However, under these circumstances...
They had pinned their 'hope' on Fang Zhengzhi.
"Lord Father, what do we do?" Xing Qingsui looked at Xing Yuanguo worriedly. He knew that nothing could happen to Ping Yang.
Xing Yuanguo's gaze was fixed on Canyang.
He did not speak immediately. He knew that this was not the best time to strike. If he did not strike, there might still be a chance. However, if he did...
In the end, it would only lead to an even worse outcome.
After all, the Demons had the upper hand. If they continued to fight, there would be more casualties. If they could buy some time...
Perhaps, that would be better!
"Wait!" Xing Yuanguo said softly.
"But..." Xing Qingsui wanted to say something, but when he saw Xing Yuanguo's expression, he swallowed his words.
...
"Fang Zhengzhi, you shameless fella, are you going to ignore me? If I don't die today, I will haunt you even as a ghost! "Ping Yang panicked when she saw that Fang Zhengzhi was still not moving.
"Shut up!" Fang Zhengzhi could not take it anymore.
What was she thinking? Delaying for time was the right thing to do. If this continued, wouldn't it be a good thing?
"I am not going to shut up! You ungrateful fella, I risked my life to save you just now, and now you are just watching from the sidelines? This princess's infatuation has been eaten up by you, an ungrateful wretch? If you don't save me, I will curse you, curse you... "
"Can you shut your mouth!" Fang Zhengzhi's tone changed. He looked at Canyang exasperatedly, "I can exchange hostages with you, but I have a request."
"Speak." Canyang nodded. He was not surprised.
"Order the retreat."
"Impossible."
"Okay, then I will take a step back. Order the Demons to retreat from the Iron Hill Settlement." Fang Zhengzhi nodded, almost as if he had guessed that Canyang would say this.
"That is also impossible." Canyang replied without hesitation.
"Then there's nothing much to talk about. I don't have any grand ambitions and I don't want to interfere in the battle between the Demon Race and the humans. It was purely an accident that I participated in this place. Now, I only have one goal, and that is to survive. However, if I were to exchange with you now, I would be putting myself in a dead end. If that's the case, I might as well kill Yun Qingwu and let both of us suffer."
Fang Zhengzhi waved him off.
Canyang wanted to force Fang Zhengzhi to save Ping Yang. However, that would be suicide.
He could not be ungrateful.
However, suicide was not the wisest choice.
"Do you think that you can live if we leave the Iron Hill Settlement now?" Canyang 'looked' at Fang Zhengzhi, his eyes filled with an icy chill.
"At least I have a chance to live." Fang Zhengzhi replied.
"What if I told you that what I want is your life?" Canyang asked calmly, as if he was talking about something normal.
"First, you have to be able to get it." Fang Zhengzhi twitched his mouth. Who didn't know how to bluff? Even though he didn't think that Canyang was bluffing, he couldn't lose to him in terms of bravado.
"Okay, I will agree to your terms. However, you have to stay behind to exchange hostages with me!" Canyang nodded after a moment of silence.
"I'll stay?" Fang Zhengzhi looked around and finally fixed his gaze on Chi Guyan.
When Chi Guyan heard Canyang's words, she looked at Fang Zhengzhi, deep in thought. Then, she nodded at Fang Zhengzhi.
"F * ck me! What does that mean? You're not the one to stay?! "Fang Zhengzhi cursed to himself.
However, he didn't say it out loud.
Fang Zhengzhi knew what Canyang was thinking. He also knew why Canyang wanted him to stay.
But...
Did he have a choice?
Was he really going to leave Ping Yang here and not care about her?
The Demons retreated from the Iron Hill Settlement.
In this way, at least the Southern Region had a chance of survival. Furthermore, it was equivalent to having a "path of retreat" for his side.
Even though he might not be able to find a path of retreat...
Having a path of retreat was better than not having one!
Fang Zhengzhi knew that Canyang could not afford to waste time with him. Getting the Demons to retreat from the Iron Hill Settlement was the best he could hope for.
"Okay, I agree!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
He really didn't have a second choice. He had to save Ping Yang. At most, he would use Ping Yang as a shield after exchanging the hostages.
With Ping Yang's Red Flame Flower Armor,
She wouldn't die from that, would she?
"Pass on the orders of the Young Master, the entire army is to retreat from the Iron Hill Settlement." Canyang did not doubt Fang Zhengzhi's words.
He gave the order.
"Roger!" All of the Demon Domain Chiefs nodded in unison.
However, after nodding, all of the Domain Chiefs of the Demon Race looked at Fang Zhengzhi with piercing gazes.
Needless to say, Fang Zhengzhi had become the number one enemy of the demon race.
This had to do with Fang Zhengzhi's talent.
But more importantly … …
Fang Zhengzhi's actions...
He had taken advantage of Yun Qingwu at the Icy Monkey Settlement, then knocked her out in front of the Iron Hill Settlement. How could they let someone like that off?
The Demons could no longer be called the Demons.
"Retreat!"
"Retreat!"
"Pass on the orders of the Young Master, retreat from the Iron Hill Settlement!"
One by one, the demons gave their orders. Following which, the demons in front of the Iron Hill Settlement retreated in an orderly fashion.
Shan Ling looked at the neatly lined up demonic soldiers. It was impossible to say that he wasn't shocked.
After all, he knew what the Demon Army was like a decade ago.
Yun Qingwu!
What method did this young lord, who had a supreme reputation in the Devil Race, use to reorganize the Devil Race army into the current state?
"Retreat!"
"Retreat!"
Deafening roars reverberated throughout the Iron Hill Settlement.
Not long after, the demons fighting at the gates of the Iron Hill Settlement and the demons that were charging in from the back had all retreated. They regrouped and lined up neatly.
"Third Brother, what's going on?" Just as Princess Shan Yu was about to reach the gates of the Iron Hill Settlement, she realised that the Demons had retreated.
This caused her to be filled with doubts.
"Don't ask any more questions. Retreat to the Iron Hill Settlement and strengthen the defenses at the four gates!" Shan Ling ordered.
Just as Princess Shan Yu was about to nod her head, her jet-black eyes caught sight of a figure. It was a figure dressed in a blue robe. He looked rather skinny.
But that wasn't important. What was important was that there was a woman in a white dress lying beside that figure.
"Yun Qingwu?! How is that possible? "Princess Shan Yu was stunned.
She could not imagine what had happened while she was in the Iron Hill Settlement. How did Fang Zhengzhi break free from the restraints of the Heavenly Dao?
How did Yun Qingwu end up unconscious?
Just now...
What had happened here?
"Aren't you going to follow my orders?" Shan Ling frowned.
"But..." Princess Shan Yu looked at Fang Zhengzhi, then looked at Chi Guyan, then at the unconscious Yun Qingwu on the ground. Her expression was one of hesitation.
"Aish, Fang Zhengzhi has mastered the Heavenly Dao." Shan Ling sighed and replied. He knew what Princess Shan Yu was thinking.
"What?! He... he mastered the Heavenly Dao?! "Princess Shan Yu's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Yes, even though I don't know how he did it, it is the truth. He just mastered the Heavenly Dao and broke free from Canyang's restraints. Then, he knocked Yun Qingwu unconscious." Shan Ling could understand Princess Shan Yu's shock. When he saw Fang Zhengzhi mastering the Heavenly Dao...
Even he could not suppress the shock in his heart.
Was he only 16 years old?
How could he master the Heavenly Dao? How powerful would he be in the future? No, if he wanted to be the Emperor, he had to get rid of Fang Zhengzhi.
Of course...
From the looks of it, Fang Zhengzhi was definitely going to die.
Shan Ling knew that since Canyang was willing to retreat, he would not give Fang Zhengzhi a chance to escape.
"Alright, we can start the exchange now." Canyang's voice rang out.
Fang Zhengzhi, on the other hand, looked at Chi Guyan, who had a calm expression on her face. He did not understand why this girl was still here and not leaving.
"You're not leaving?"
"I'm not leaving." Chi Guyan replied calmly.
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
"No, he wants your life." Chi Guyan replied calmly.
"F * ck!" Fang Zhengzhi was initially a little touched, but after hearing what Chi Guyan said, he couldn't help but raise his middle finger.
However, he quickly turned his attention to Ping Yang.
