"I didn't expect you to be able to make it here despite being ambushed by four of us. It seems like … my decision to capture Yan Xiu was the right one!" At this moment, a figure walked out from behind the rock. He was also wearing a black robe and his face was covered.
Fang Zhengzhi did not reply to the figure. In fact, he did not even bother to listen to him. His eyes were fixed on Yan Xiu's pale face the entire time.
Be it in his previous life or this life.
Fang Zhengzhi had never been a bloodthirsty person. However, this was the first time he had a strong desire to kill someone.
"Kacha!" Fang Zhengzhi clenched his fists and stopped in his tracks. He did not continue to run forward. Instead, he stood quietly on the spot. He did not even think about the hundreds of people chasing after him.
"It seems like you're very angry?" The figure standing behind Yan Xiu smirked when he saw this. From Fang Zhengzhi's expression, he knew that he had made the right bet.
Just like the rumors said …
Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu were very close. Of course, in his heart, such a relationship was a joke to a powerful person who wanted to survive in the Holy Region.
"Hmm?!" Just as the figure was about to continue speaking, the scene that unfolded before him undoubtedly made him swallow the words that were already at the tip of his tongue.
This was because the commotion in front of him was too big.
It was so big that he had to pay attention to it.
At the same time, several figures appeared in front of him. There were at least a few hundred of them running toward him.
Most importantly, he actually saw a few familiar figures.
Three elders of the Heaven Dao Pavilion?
This made him a little surprised and surprised.
Of course, while the figure was surprised, Sixth Elder, Second Elder, Fourth Elder, and the disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion were also surprised.
They were surprised that Fang Zhengzhi would stop. Was this not the best time to escape?
This was their question. However, this question was quickly answered. This was because they saw Yan Xiu kneeling beside the rock by the lake.
"Yan Xiu? There's … five of them?! " The Second Elder and the Fourth Elder looked at each other in the air, and saw the same expression in each other's eyes.
The Sixth Elder also stopped in his tracks.
Fang Zhengzhi's act of destroying the Divine Rain Pond had to be dealt with, but the appearance of the fifth person was something that he had to take seriously.
After all, the appearance of five powerful individuals of the Holy Region at the foot of the Sword Peak of the Heaven Dao Pavilion was no simple matter.
"Who are you people? Why did you attack Yan Xiu? He's just a normal person now! "Sixth Elder spoke, the anger in his voice evident.
He was already surprised that four Sages surrounded Fang Zhengzhi. Now, Fang Zhengzhi even threatened him with a hostage.
Normally speaking, powerhouses would disdain doing such a thing, unless they received a death order that they absolutely had to complete.
"Big brother!" When the two black figures behind Fang Zhengzhi saw this, they bowed to the figure beside the green rock, looking a little ashamed.
"It's fine." The figure behind Yan Xiu waved his hand. Then, he turned to Yan Xiu and smiled, "Yan Xiu, I didn't lie to you, did I? If you die too early, how can you know whether your friends will abandon you or not? "
"Ah!!!" A roar came from Yan Xiu's throat. Yan Xiu, who was originally half-kneeling on the ground with a pale face, suddenly had a ferocious expression on his face. Beads of sweat flowed from his forehead.
After this roar, Yan Xiu's body slowly tried to stand up.
This scene caused the person standing behind Yan Xiu to have a cruel expression. He immediately slapped Yan Xiu's shoulder.
"Crack!" The sound of bones breaking was heard again.
However, Yan Xiu's legs did not completely kneel down. Even though he was facing a blow from a Sage, even though his legs were almost bent out of shape, he still gritted his teeth and allowed his blood to flow. He did not make a sound, nor did he ask for help from Fang Zhengzhi.
"Yan Xiu, don't move! Trust me … trust me!!! "Fang Zhengzhi's eyes were bloodshot. He naturally knew what Yan Xiu wanted to do.
In fact, if he was in Yan Xiu's shoes, he would have the same thought. He would beg for death. Yes, Yan Xiu was begging for death.
However, how could he let Yan Xiu die?
He knew very well that the person who was suffering the most was not him, but Yan Xiu, who had become a hostage.
This was especially so for someone like Yan Xiu, who would rather die than submit. The torture on his dignity was more painful than the injuries on his body.
"Trust …" Yan Xiu's body trembled at this moment. He looked up at Fang Zhengzhi, and his cold face was very pale. However, when he saw Fang Zhengzhi's bloodshot eyes, he still nodded his head gently.
"Who are you people? Why did you plot to capture Yan Xiu at the foot of the Heaven Dao Pavilion? Don't tell me you don't care about your face at all? " The Sixth Elder clenched his fist subconsciously when he saw this scene. Obviously, he felt that it was shameful to coerce a hostage.
"Reputation? Yes … why would I give up on my reputation? " When the figure heard this, he raised his head slightly and said, "I was supposed to be someone with a lot of reputation. Unfortunately, I was destroyed by the Heaven Dao Pavilion!"
"Destroyed by the Heaven Dao Pavilion?"
"What do you mean?"
"Who exactly is he?"
When the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples heard this, they all looked at each other in confusion.
When the figure said this, he seemed to be slightly agitated and said, "Looks like … it's impossible for us not to be found out in today's situation!"
"Big brother!" When the two black figures heard this, their voices were clearly a little desolate.
"Second brother, third brother, we have already lost all our reputation. If we continue to hold back, I'm afraid we might be used by this brat. When the sandpiper and clam fight, the fisherman will benefit from it." When the figure said this, he paused slightly.
The two black figures looked at each other and nodded their heads gently. This was because, just like what the figure had said, they were used by Fang Zhengzhi just now.
If not?
How could Fang Zhengzhi escape from the encirclement of the four of them?
"Yuan Rong, representing the three brothers of the Black Moon Island, greets the Second Elder, Fourth Elder, and Sixth Elder of the Heaven Dao Pavilion!" When the figure standing behind Yan Xiu finished speaking, the cloak on his head flew up, revealing a slightly old face.
When the two black figures saw this scene, the cloaks on their heads were flipped up, and their faces were quickly revealed.
"It's you guys? The three sages of the Black Moon Island! " The Sixth Elder finally understood what Yuan Rong, the head of the Black Moon Island's Three Sages, meant after seeing the faces of the three people.
"So it's the three sages of the Black Moon Island …"
"No wonder!"
"It's them …"
When the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples saw this, they immediately understood what was going on.
Just like what Yuan Rong had said, in the Holy Region, the three Sages of the Black Moon Island had indeed lost all their reputation. And the one who had caused this was Chi Guyan.
At this moment, Second Elder and Fourth Elder looked at each other again. With their analytical skills, they naturally understood why the three Sages of the Black Moon Island were so unscrupulous.
Even if they had to use hostages, they had to kill Fang Zhengzhi.
Just as they had guessed, this was a death order from the Nine Pinnacles Mountain. In fact, it could even be said to be their last chance.
However …
Who were the other two people?
Before Second Elder and Fourth Elder could ask, the cloaks on the heads of the other two black figures flew down, revealing the faces of an old man and a middle-aged man.
"Shi Fan?!" Second Elder's expression changed. He did not pay attention to the old man. Instead, he fixed his gaze on the middle-aged man.
"His surname is Shi … Shi Fan?!"
"Could it be the one from the Yin Yang Hall …"
"Yes, Shi Fan … It can't be wrong. He is the Ninth Elder of the Yin Yang Hall!"
When the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples heard Second Elder shout out his name, they all turned to look at the middle-aged man.
If the appearance of the three Sages of the Black Moon Island was within their expectations, then Shi Fan's appearance was definitely unexpected.
Hence, Shi Fan's appearance was definitely unexpected. Of course, it was not because of Shi Fan's status as an elder of Yin Yang Hall. It was because of Shi Fan's power.
"Shi Fan, as an elder of the Yin Yang Hall, you actually …"
"First, let me clarify something. I'm not just an elder of the Yin Yang Hall. At the same time, I'm also the first master that Wan Lei acknowledged when he entered the Yin Yang Hall!" Shi Fan waved his hand gently and interrupted Sixth Elder. Then, he continued, "Wan Lei died in the Heaven Dao Pavilion. Shouldn't the Heaven Dao Pavilion give us a reasonable explanation for this?"
"This …" Sixth Elder's expression changed. He did not know that Shi Fan had such a relationship with Wan Lei.
Second Elder and Fourth Elder frowned. They did not care much about the three Sages of the Black Moon Island. However, they had to be wary of Shi Fan of the Yin Yang Hall.
To put it bluntly, the Leader of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, Tian Xing, had died in the Heaven Dao Pavilion. Hence, the feud between the Nine Pinnacles Mountain and the Heaven Dao Pavilion could not be resolved.
It could only be a stalemate.
However, with the addition of the Yin Yang Hall, things would be completely different. After all, the feud between the Heaven Dao Pavilion and the Yin Yang Hall had not reached a point where it could not be resolved.
The Five Sects of the Holy Region fought openly and covertly.
Even the Heaven Dao Pavilion could not afford to make so many enemies at once.
"Now that my identity has been revealed, I, Shi Fan, will be more direct. I'm here to avenge Wan Lei. Hence, Fang Zhengzhi must die. Whether the Heaven Dao Pavilion wants to fight or make peace is up to you!" Shi Fan continued when he saw that Sixth Elder did not speak.
"So, does the Yin Yang Hall want to fight or make peace?" When Second Elder heard Shi Fan's words, his eyes lit up.
"Haha … can't you tell? If we want to fight, why would we come here with our faces covered? Let me put it this way. If the Heaven Dao Pavilion retreats today, we will forget about Wan Lei's death. We will exchange Fang Zhengzhi, who is not a disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, for the First Disciple of the Yin Yang Hall. This is the greatest sincerity that the Yin Yang Hall can offer! "When Shi Fan heard Second Elder's words, he smiled gently.
"We need to discuss this!" Second Elder nodded. However, he did not reply immediately.
"Alright, 15 minutes. Is that enough?" Shi Fan did not intend to force them. This was because he knew that once they revealed their identities, the Heaven Dao Pavilion's decision would be very easy.
"Yes!" Second Elder nodded again. Then, he and Fourth Elder leaped down from the sky and landed on the ground. They walked in front of Sixth Elder.
"Sixth Elder, you are in charge of the Divine Rain Pond this time. Why don't you tell us what happened?"
"Alright, the Divine Rain Pond has been destroyed …" When Sixth Elder heard Second Elder's question, he quickly explained what had happened to the Divine Rain Pond.
"Yes …" When Second Elder heard this, he nodded solemnly.
"Second Brother, even if we capture Fang Zhengzhi and bring him back to the Heaven Dao Pavilion, he will still die. Since that's the case, why don't we … just go with the flow?" Fourth Elder expressed his opinion.
"What do you think, Sixth Elder?"
"The Heaven Dao Pavilion's dignity cannot be tarnished! Although Fang Zhengzhi will still die, killing people at the foot of the Heaven Dao Pavilion's mountain, I'm afraid … "
"I understand, I'll handle it!" Second Elder nodded again.
"Alright!" The Sixth Elder and the Fourth Elder looked at each other and expressed their agreement.
At this moment, Second Elder slowly turned around. He looked at Yan Xiu and Yuan Rong, the head of the three Sages of the Black Moon Island. Finally, his gaze landed on Shi Fan.
"We've discussed. You can deal with Fang Zhengzhi, but we must bring his corpse back to the Heaven Dao Pavilion. Furthermore, we cannot harm Yan Xiu's life. You will treat his injuries. The three Sages of the Black Moon Island will follow us back to the Heaven Dao Pavilion and explain this to our Pavilion Leader!" Second Elder said directly.
When Shi Fan heard this, he looked at Yuan Rong, the head of the three Sages of the Black Moon Island. When he saw Yuan Rong nod his head lightly, his lips curled into a smile. "Alright, we'll do as Second Elder says. In that case, everyone in the Heaven Dao Pavilion, please step back, because I'm going to kill someone!"
