Geniuses were not scary.
There was no shortage of geniuses in this world. However, when a genius had the word "crafty" attached to his name, it was no longer scary.
"Domain Chief Bai, I have spent quite a lot of time on this this year. Domain Chief Bai, you must have felt the effects. Do you feel like you can't even move your feet?" Fang Zhengzhi asked with a concerned expression.
"You..." Bai Xing felt like he should scream for help. Even though it was humiliating to do so in his own residence, he still opened his mouth.
It was a pity …
Just as he opened his mouth, he felt a heavy knock on his head.
He turned around.
Bai Xing also saw a rod. It was a metal rod that had been smashed until it was extremely bent.
"What a hard head!" The man looked at Bai Xing, then at the deformed metal rod in his hands. There was a look of shock on his face.
"..." Bai Xing looked at the man behind him. When he saw the glowing red demon eye on his forehead, he could not believe that someone had managed to sneak up on him.
Why?
Was it because Fang Zhengzhi's words had distracted him?
However, no matter how distracted he was, he was in the intermediate stage of the Rebirth State. There was no way that someone could sneak up on him without him noticing!
Furthermore...
What did he mean by knocking a metal rod on his back?
Could it be that this guy with such poor acting skills thought that he could knock her out with a metal rod? Wasn't that a little too naive?
Bai Xing felt that what was happening in front of him was strange. What was even stranger was that his head felt like it was being pricked by needles.
It was so painful that he felt like the world was spinning.
"Dong!" Bai Xing's body froze and he fell to the ground. Just as he fell, a thought flashed through his mind.
No!
He was not poisoned. In fact, he was not just poisoned.
"Hahaha, I knocked out a Domain Chief. Let's see who dares to look down on me when I get back!" Su Jiu looked at Bai Xing, unable to contain his excitement.
"So, this trip to the Blood Shadow City was your idea, right?" Fang Zhengzhi said calmly as he looked at Su Jiu.
"Oh..." Su Jiu froze.
…
An hour later, at the highest point in the center of the Blood Shadow City, nine men in bright armor were waiting at the entrance of a huge black palace.
The architecture of the palace was not new. Instead, it was somewhat old.
Ten black pillars stood around the palace, supporting the entire palace. Around the ten black pillars, there were Demon Soldiers in different armors.
A moment later, a Demon soldier walked out of the palace.
"Young Master invites you in!"
"Yes!" The nine men nodded immediately. Then, under the lead of the Demon Soldier, they quickly walked through the palace gate and into the palace.
Not long after, the nine men also entered a room in the palace.
In the middle of the room stood a woman. She wore a snow-white dress and her jet-black hair fell to her waist. Her eyes were extremely calm.
The woman did not move. She only looked out the window at the rising sun. In her hand was a slightly yellowed piece of paper.
The piece of paper was not big.
Naturally, there weren't many words on it.
It was a very short sentence.
"Have you eaten?"
Other than that, there were no other words or signature.
The woman was naturally Yun Qingwu.
As the Young Master of the Demon Race, Yun Qingwu had to deal with many things every day. Logically speaking, a piece of paper like this should not have appeared in her hands.
However, this piece of paper had passed through many obstacles and passed through the hands of Demon Soldiers before finally landing in Yun Qingwu's hands.
The reason was simple...
This piece of paper was the only "trace" left in the Bai Residence.
"Greetings, Young Master!" After the nine men entered the room, they knelt down on one knee respectfully.
"Mm, Domain Chiefs, please do not stand on ceremony." Yun Qingwu nodded. Then, she slowly retracted her gaze and kept the piece of paper in her hands.
"Young Master, this matter..."
"Young Master, please give us your instructions. What should we do now?"
"To be able to sneak into the Blood Shadow City and kidnap Domain Chief Bai without anyone knowing, there is definitely no one in the Southern Region who could do that. Only the few in the Great Xia..."
As the nine men spoke, they looked at Yun Qingwu, waiting for her decision.
After all, one of the 10 Domain Chiefs, Bai Xing, being kidnapped from the Blood Shadow City was something that would shock the entire Demon Race.
Most importantly...
The repercussions of this incident were terrifying.
It was done silently, openly, and in broad daylight. This was equivalent to telling the Demon Race that the Blood Shadow City was not as safe as they thought.
"It's been more than a year, he is finally back!" Yun Qingwu did not reply to the nine men immediately. Instead, she seemed to be muttering to herself.
"Him? Young Master, who are you referring to? "One of the men asked with a face full of doubt.
After all, they had all seen the piece of paper in Yun Qingwu's hands. There was no signature or clue on it.
If not for the fact that this piece of paper was the only clue left in the Bai Residence...
They might even have thrown it away.
"A person who disappeared for more than a year." Yun Qingwu replied calmly after a moment of silence.
"Disappeared for more than a year?!"
When the other men heard Yun Qingwu's words, they all looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
"Young Master, are you talking about Fang Zhengzhi?"
"Are you kidding me? How is that possible? Fang Zhengzhi did disappear for more than a year, but he is already crippled. Furthermore, the entire Great Xia and the Southern Region are looking for him. I think he is long dead!"
"Mm, given the Great Xia's way of doing things, it is indeed not appropriate to announce Fang Zhengzhi's death!"
As the nine men speculated, they looked at Yun Qingwu once again.
However...
Yun Qingwu did not reply to the nine men. She knew very well that even if she said it, no one would believe her.
As such, why would she say it?
"Ying Feng."
"Young Master, I am here!" When a man heard Yun Qingwu's words, he immediately stepped out from the crowd. This was a slightly skinny man with very ordinary features.
However, when this man stepped forward, the other men around him subconsciously took half a step back.
Because...
His name was Ying Feng.
The current Domain Chief of the Dark Domain, the younger brother of the former Vice Domain Chief, Ying Shan. He was once promoted to the position of Vice Domain Chief just because of Yun Qingwu's words.
In just a short period of more than a year, this man had climbed from the position of Vice Domain Chief to the position of Domain Chief.
Of course, this was not the most important thing.
The most important thing was that the Dark Domain had long replaced the position of the Galaxy Domain. From the weakest domain out of the ten domains, it had become the strongest domain out of the ten domains.
None of the demons knew how Ying Feng did this.
However, the truth was that...
Ying Feng did it. Furthermore, he did not rely on Yun Qingwu's words.
"Mm, I want to make a trip to the Great Xia. You will be in charge of the matters along the way." Yun Qingwu looked at Ying Feng and said calmly.
"Young Master wants to go to the Great Xia?!"
"No, I can't let this happen! Young Master's identity in the Great Xia has already been exposed a year ago. How can you continue to take the risk? "
"Yes, this matter is very important. Young Master, you must not act rashly. I think we should report this to the Demon Lord..."
When the few men heard this, their faces were filled with shock.
"Do you think that I, Ying Feng, am not powerful enough to protect Young Master?" Ying Feng's voice rang out.
Instantly...
The expressions on the eight men's faces changed.
However, none of them stood out to refute him.
"As long as I, Ying Feng, am still alive, I will protect Young Master with my life. May I ask, when does Young Master intend to leave?"
"Tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? Yes, I will make the arrangements now! "
…
…
Five days later, Southern Region, Icy Monkey Settlement, Wind Valley.
Even though the slightly chilly wind continued to howl in the wind valley, in a year's time, this piece of land that was once stained with blood no longer reeked of blood.
Green grass covered the entrance of the Icy Monkey Settlement. Various flowers bloomed amidst the grass, giving off a faint fragrance.
Of course, if there were still traces of the battle outside the Icy Monkey Settlement...
The answer was yes.
Because...
There was a sword in Wind Valley. A sword covered in frost that was stabbed into the ground.
Warm sunlight fell from the sky and shone on the frosty white ice. However, it was unable to melt the frost, even though it was already spring.
This was a rather strange scene.
What was even stranger was that there was a figure standing beside the sword. His blue robe fluttered in the wind, making a rustling sound.
To the Southern Region...
The sword in Wind Valley was no stranger.
In fact, it could be said that it was extremely familiar. Because, over the past year, countless warriors of the Southern Region had come before this sword.
Then, they pulled out the sword, pulled out the sword again, and pulled out the sword again...
The result was obvious.
The sword was still the same sword, stabbing into the ground. There was a thick layer of frost on it, as though expressing its inner will.
"Touch, I won't even let you touch it!"
Of course, the warriors of the Southern Region didn't think that way. They were just curious. Why was the frost on the sword still so thick when the surrounding frost had melted?
Good sword!
This was the only answer they could come up with.
In the end, they gradually forgot about this sword. That was because over a year's time was enough for tens of thousands of brave warriors to come up and try it, and then receive a blow.
Now...
There was a figure standing on Wind Valley.
He was naturally here to pull out the sword. Because, he had already stretched his hand out, slowly reaching for the thick frost on the sword.
Then, a strange scene appeared.
The frost melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a white mist. Under the bright sunlight, it glowed faintly.
Then, one hand gripped the hilt of the sword.
Then, the sword struck!
It was pulled out from the ground, turning into a demonic purple light, landing in the hands of the figure.
"Long time no see." The figure let out a soft voice. One hand gripped the hilt, the other hand gently stroked the blade of the sword.
"Hum!" A crisp hum rang out.
This was a joy that came from the heart. It was as if a dragon that had slept for thousands of years was finally able to see the light of day.
"This time, I'll take you to see a different scenery. We'll walk a little further to see it. We'll stand a little higher to see it." The figure spoke again.
"Hum!" The sword rang out again.
...
Southern Region, Sagely Mountain City, Royal City.
The chief of the Icy Monkey Settlement, Icy Monkey, was dressed in heavy rattan armor. He quickly passed by the guards and walked into the palace.
"Your Highness!" Icy Monkey half-knelt on the ground the moment he entered the palace. He was extremely respectful.
At the top of the throne room, there was another person sitting there. It was a woman dressed in snow-white animal skin. Her wheat-colored skin shone faintly under the illumination of the flames.
Her jet-black hair draped over her shoulders.
On top of the woman's head was a small golden crown. There were three feathers of different colors inserted into the crown. Apart from that, there were also three gems of different colors embedded into the crown.
Her name was Shan Yu.
The current Queen of the Southern Region!
When Shan Yu heard Icy Monkey's words, she slowly shifted her gaze away from the scroll in her hands. Then, she raised her head and looked at Icy Monkey.
"Uncle Ape, why are you in such a hurry?"
"The sword, the sword is missing!" Icy Monkey's expression was one of panic. Even his voice was trembling when he spoke.
"Sword? What sword? "Shan Yu's eyes were filled with confusion.
"It's... it's the sword on the wind valley. It's... it's missing!" Icy Monkey's expression was extremely conflicted.
"What did Uncle Ape say? The sword on the wind valley is missing?! "Shan Yu's expression changed completely. The scroll in her hands fell to the ground.
"Yes!" Icy Ape nodded with a look of certainty.
Of course, he knew why Shan Yu was shocked. He knew even more clearly what the disappearance of the sword meant.
Over the past year, countless warriors of the Southern Region had come to the Icy Monkey Settlement to pull out the sword. However, none of them had succeeded.
This also caused the sword to become a kind of 'honor'.
If it was really a warrior from the Southern Mountain Range who pulled out that sword, it would definitely be an important matter that would make him or her famous.
But...
The sword on the wind valley had disappeared.
However, it had disappeared without a trace. Not a single warrior of the Southern Region stood out to shout that they had pulled out the sword from the wind valley.
