All of a sudden, Fang Zhengzhi felt that his imagination was still too weak. He did not think of the possibility that the Nine Heavens Sagely Illustration could be a gigantic, jumping beast.
Wait a minute.
The Nine Heavens Sagely Illustration was really a beast?
You must be joking!
Fang Zhengzhi was not that naive, but he still decided to give it a try. For example, he could beat up the beast in front of him and see if it would drop any 'clues'.
Of course, the main reason why he had such a thought was because the ferocious beast in front of him had already rushed in front of him and even revealed its cold fangs at him.
"A little cow dares to bully me? Can't you just look at the illustration happily? " Fang Zhengzhi did not think much of it. He leapt up, raised his fist, and threw a punch at the beast's head.
"Boom!" A deafening sound.
The Vicious Beast, which was as huge as a small mountain, flew up. Its four legs were like iron pillars, and it somersaulted five times in the air.
Finally …
"Boom!" It fell to the ground.
Dumbfounded. Absolutely dumbfounded.
As a beast that ruled over a territory in the Jungle of Mysteries, the Silver Horned Bull had its own pride. Even though it knew that its duty was to accompany the Heaven Dao disciples in their training.
However, since it was called a training …
Naturally, it should be the one bullying the Heaven Dao disciples.
But what was up with this fellow? Why would such a strong fellow be thrown into the Jungle of Mysteries for training? Weren't the Heaven Dao disciples in the Jungle of Mysteries all in the Supernatural State or the Early Rebirth State?
The Silver Horned Bull felt very aggrieved.
It felt that the punch just now must have been an illusion. Hence, even though its head felt like it was about to explode, it still wanted to try again.
"Roar!" The Silver Horned Bull roared.
The black scales covering its body were immediately covered in a layer of blue flames. Then, it charged at Fang Zhengzhi once more.
However, just at that moment …
The Silver Horned Bull realized that a figure was descending from above its head.
It was a figure that had passed through the thick fog. His dark green robes clung tightly to his body, and his dark skin looked just like the scales on its body.
"Eh? Another one? " Before the Silver-Horned Raging Bull could think about it, it felt a fist strike its head again.
Then …
There was nothing after that.
The Silver-Horned Raging Bull's vision went black and it fell to the ground. Before it lost consciousness, the only thought in its mind was, "Do you have to bully a bull like this?!"
…
Fang Zhengzhi blinked as he looked at the fainted Silver Horned Barbaric Bull and Yan Qing, who was standing calmly beside it.
From the bottom of his heart …
He was a little speechless.
Of course, after seeing Yan Qing, he felt a little gratified. At the very least, Yan Qing's appearance proved that he didn't go to the wrong place.
However, he had been robbed of a "bull's head", right? If this bull was really the first painting of the Nine Heavens Sagely Illustration or a clue, Yan Qing would be the one to snatch it away.
"Where are the clues? What is it? "Fang Zhengzhi asked.
"Hmm?" Yan Qing didn't seem to understand what Fang Zhengzhi meant.
"You knocked this bull unconscious. Didn't you get any clues?" Fang Zhengzhi wasn't someone who would be easily fooled.
"No." Yan Qing still didn't understand, but he shook his head.
"That's impossible? Don't tell me I have to fight a few more? " Fang Zhengzhi felt that if that was the case, the Nine Heavens Sagely Illustration was too much of a torment.
Although the beast in front of him was very ordinary, it was at most as powerful as the few beasts that Qian Wu had summoned in the Flame Capital City.
However, it would be rather boring to continue fighting like this.
"Hmm, that should be the case!" Yan Qing finally nodded. In order to get out of the Jungle of Mysteries and enter the Nine Heavens, he naturally had to pass the trial of the Jungle of Mysteries and fight a few more beasts.
"…" Fang Zhengzhi didn't say anything else.
He really didn't expect that finding the Nine Heavens Sagely Illustration would be so troublesome. He had to fight so many beasts, and he had to find the painting one by one.
Couldn't it be simpler?
He could just show them the painting, and then everyone could sit together and drink the Sweet Dew while chatting happily and looking at the painting.
But the way he was doing it now …
It was completely meaningless!
Just as he was thinking about it, Fang Zhengzhi suddenly saw a flash of light in the sky. Then, an authoritative voice rang out.
"Chi Guyan has entered the Second Heaven!"
"Chi Guyan has entered …"
"…"
Fang Zhengzhi's expression froze. He looked at the gradually disappearing light and the sky that was once again shrouded in thick fog. Amidst his shock, he silently raised his middle finger. "F * ck … me!"
What was the meaning of this?
No matter how one looked at it, Chi Guyan had only entered the Divine Rain Pond less than two breaths' time earlier than him, right? How could she be so fast?
He hadn't even found a single clue!
Could it be that Chi Guyan had already started a massacre here?
That's not fair!
There must be a conspiracy!
Fang Zhengzhi suddenly felt as if he had made a huge mistake. He seemed to have underestimated the immense power of the home ground advantage.
What should he do?
Hang on, something wasn't right.
Speaking of conspiracy, could it be that Yan Qing was also a part of the elders' plan? Knowing that Yan Qing was difficult to deal with, they purposely allowed Yan Qing to appear beside him to buy time?
That was too despicable!
"Yan Qing, don't tell me you want to fight me now? You should know that I have a bet with Chi Guyan, and I'm in a hurry! " Fang Zhengzhi felt that if Yan Qing was really a conspiracy set up by the elders, then he should try to reason with Yan Qing.
"Fight? No, I've never thought of fighting you here. We should get out of the Jungle of Mysteries as soon as possible before we can enter the Nine Heavens and view the Nine Heavens Sagely Illustrations. "Yan Qing shook his head.
"You're indeed reasonable … wait a minute? You mean the Jungle of Mysteries? "Fang Zhengzhi was about to praise him when he suddenly realized the crux of the problem.
"That's right. When you entered the Divine Rain Pond, you jumped into the wrong spot and fell into the blue pond water. That's why you're in the Jungle of Mysteries, not the Nine Heavens," Yan Qing explained.
"… I jumped into the blue pond water?" Fang Zhengzhi's mouth twitched. No matter how he thought about it, it didn't seem possible.
He clearly remembered that he was very careful, so when he jumped, he purposely chose the spot where Chi Guyan jumped into, wasn't he?
Blue?
Could it be that it wasn't red?
"Yes, you did jump into the blue pond water. Of course, this isn't your fault. Sixth Elder did something to it," Yan Qing nodded and replied.
"Sixth Elder?" The image of the old man who stood by the Divine Rain Pond and was addressed as Sixth Elder by Chi Guyan and the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples instantly surfaced in Fang Zhengzhi's mind.
At this moment, he finally understood why Chi Guyan, with her intelligence, would announce the bet with him in such a high-profile manner.
Confidence?
Of course, that was one of them. However, it was more likely not because of confidence, but because she had complete control over the situation.
It was very obvious.
Chi Guyan was making use of her home ground advantage.
She wouldn't do it herself, but she would make use of this bet to build up support for herself.
The world of the Divine Rain Pond was naturally controlled by the elders of the Heaven Dao Pavilion outside. And after those elders knew about the bet between Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan.
How could he watch Chi Guyan lose to him and become a servant who warms his bed?
No wonder Sixth Elder, who was standing by the Divine Rain Pond, would ask if Chi Guyan really had such a bet with him.
So he was confirming the news!
Fang Zhengzhi felt a little helpless. He felt helpless because he didn't realize that this bet had already started from the day it was set.
Of course, although he felt helpless, he wasn't angry.
Fairness?
There was no such thing as absolute fairness in this world. Not to mention relying on intelligence to build up support, even luck could be considered a part of one's strength.
However …
The inside story was too dark!
It was a few hundred times more shady than he had imagined!
She actually threw him into the Jungle of Mysteries. Could there be anything more shady than this in this world? It was simply shady to the core.
"Looks like … Chi Guyan wants me to stay in the Heaven Dao Pavilion for another month." Fang Zhengzhi didn't spend much time with Chi Guyan, but they had known each other for a long time.
He was very clear about Chi Guyan's personality.
Although Chi Guyan would show her gentle side under special circumstances, she was born with an innate arrogance.
Hence, based on Chi Guyan's personality, even if she really wanted him to stay, she would never ask him to stay.
She would only use her own methods to do so.
Thinking about it this way, Fang Zhengzhi also understood that ever since he woke up and suggested to leave the Heaven Dao Pavilion, Chi Guyan had already planned everything.
As for the so-called bet …
It was actually a trick that Chi Guyan left for him.
Fang Zhengzhi could understand that Chi Guyan was doing this to help him. Furthermore, he could even be sure that after he stayed, Chi Guyan would definitely go out again to look for something similar to the Thousand Years Fire Herb.
But could Fang Zhengzhi do that?
Of course not!
If a man's life depended on a woman to 'snatch' things from the outside world, what was the point of living for such a man?
"Chi Guyan, I'm sorry. I can't accept your kindness like this. No matter how shady it is, I must defeat you, because I want to use my own hands to change fate!"
