This was the first time the lady felt her heart tremble. Even though this was the first time she had met Fang Zhengzhi, she had a vague feeling in her heart …
The man in front of her could possibly become the most unstable factor in the entire Holy Region.
Most importantly, Yin Yang Hall and Fang Zhengzhi already had a feud. Even if Wan Lei's death was not related to Fang Zhengzhi, Shi Fan's death was unavoidable.
Befriend him?
Or kill him?
This was a difficult choice. Given Yin Yang Hall's current status, it was impossible for them to bow and scrape to Fang Zhengzhi.
In that case, given Fang Zhengzhi's unruly personality, how could Yin Yang Hall befriend him? Furthermore, how could they convince the disciples of Yin Yang Hall to befriend him?
It was difficult!
But if they chose to kill him …
Given Fang Zhengzhi's current strength, only a few elders had the strength to fight him. Furthermore, the chances of them winning were only 50-50.
After all, Fang Zhengzhi had killed five Holy Region cultivators not long ago.
Hence, it was not easy to kill Fang Zhengzhi.
He was an extremely unstable factor. It was difficult to befriend him, but it was equally difficult to kill him. What kind of impact would such a person have on the entire Holy Region?
The lady rarely hesitated on a matter, but this time, she really hesitated.
Of course, after hesitating, she spoke again. However, this time, her words were shockingly simple. "To the east of this building, there is a stone hall called '1000 Herb Hall'. Every seven days, Master will choose to refine pills when the 'East Rising Purple Qi' occurs. Now, it has been almost seven days since Master last refined pills."
"Almost seven days already?" Fang Zhengzhi's eyes narrowed. He wanted to see something from the lady's face, but her expression was extremely calm. She was so calm that he could not find any clues. In fact, he had no choice but to believe her.
"Yes, after tonight, it will be time for Master to refine pills again." The lady nodded. Her expression was solemn, as though she had just made an extremely important decision.
"Why are you telling me all this?" Fang Zhengzhi asked.
"Because your only chance is to defeat Master. Then, bring Master out of Yin Yang Hall and find someone who knows how to refine pills. For example, Shadow Sect's Heavenly Oasis. He will watch over Yan Xiu day and night and force Master to save Yan Xiu!" The lady replied calmly.
"Let a Heaven Ethereal Realm guard him day and night?" Fang Zhengzhi suddenly understood. Indeed, just as the lady had said, this seemed to be the only way to save Yan Xiu.
However, to defeat Dao Hun …
This meant that Fang Zhengzhi had to fight against the entire Yin Yang Hall alone.
How was that possible?
"Other than Master, basically no one dares to approach this building of mine. You can leave Yan Xiu here temporarily and go over alone." The lady continued.
Fang Zhengzhi remained silent. He did not answer the woman's question, nor did he continue to question her. He only looked at the sky outside the pavilion quietly.
Stars twinkled in the sky, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.
It was a beautiful night scene, especially in this mountain range. At a glance, it looked like a gigantic palm was holding the moon in its palm.
"It seems like … you don't dare to go?" The lady said disdainfully after seeing that Fang Zhengzhi did not speak.
Fang Zhengzhi retracted his gaze from the night sky and looked at the lady in front of him. His lips curled into a smile.
"So beautiful!" As Fang Zhengzhi said that, his eyes regained their calmness and the chilliness in the pavilion disappeared.
"What's so beautiful?!" The lady's heart skipped a beat when she saw the smile on Fang Zhengzhi's face. She did not know if Fang Zhengzhi was talking about the night scene or her.
Of course, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that the metal rod had reappeared in Fang Zhengzhi's hand. Furthermore, he was raising it high up in the air.
"What are you trying to do?!"
"Dong!"
A dull thud answered the lady's question.
Then, the lady felt her surroundings spin. The world in front of her gradually turned dark. Of course, in the darkness, there was a man smiling at her.
The lady did not know what was going to happen next. However, she knew that the man standing in front of her was definitely a shameless person.
Furthermore, he was a shameless person who did not care about anything!
She couldn't guess what such a man would do. At the same time, she didn't want to guess no matter what.
Silence.
When the lady fainted on the ground again, the pavilion returned to silence. Fang Zhengzhi looked at the bright moon in the sky again.
"Tonight is so beautiful!"
After saying that, Fang Zhengzhi carried the lady in front of him from the ground and walked towards the bed in the room step by step.
He carefully placed the lady beside Yan Xiu.
Fang Zhengzhi's gaze shifted from the lady to Yan Xiu. He saw a paleness on Yan Xiu's face.
Even though Yan Xiu's expression was still cold.
However, it was a weak coldness. It was like a blade of grass that was about to enter winter. It was withered and covered in frost. No one knew if this blade of grass would wake up in spring next year.
However, Fang Zhengzhi clenched his fists tightly. The smile on his face had disappeared. It was replaced with seriousness, or rather, absolute determination.
He did not say anything.
In front of Yan Xiu, he knew that he did not need to say anything. Because, Yan Xiu would definitely know what choice he would make.
No hope?
To fight against the entire Yin Yang Hall alone?
Yes, anyone with a little bit of rationality would know what to do. However, so what? Fang Zhengzhi did not need rationality now.
He only needed to know …
There were some things that he would definitely do.
Fang Zhengzhi turned around. The blanket on the bed flew up slowly and spread in the air. Then, it covered Yan Xiu and the lady.
…
In the extremely cold land of the Great Xia Dynasty.
This was where the Nangong Nobles were located. It was covered in ice and snow all year round. Stone tablets stood tall in the ice and snow, covered in a thick layer of white snow.
At this moment, there were two corpses lying on the ground among the stone tablets.
They were two corpses that had not completely stiffened. They were both wearing loose black robes. Judging from their age, they had white hair and youthful looks.
These were two experts of the Saint Realm.
However, they were two Sages who were already dead.
There was a chubby middle-aged man standing in front of the two dead Saint State experts. He was wearing a thin shirt with a piece of beast fur wrapped around his collar. The middle-aged man stood quietly in the snow as the wind and snow fell.
He was the current head of the Nangong Nobles, Nangong Tian!
"Nine Pinnacles Mountain?" Nangong Tian looked at the two corpses on the ground. Then, he looked into the distance. He was very calm. If not for the broken stone tablets and the snow that was blown away by the hot air, no one would be able to tell that a huge battle had taken place here.
After an unknown period of time, Nangong Tian still didn't look away. He continued to stare at the strange starlight in the sky until it appeared in the snowstorm.
The starlight came very quickly.
In an instant, it descended from the sky. Then, with a bang, it smashed onto the ground, causing numerous cracks to appear on the extremely cold ground that was covered in ice and snow.
Nangong Tian finally looked away from the sky and looked at the place where the starlight landed. There, a seed was germinating.
It was a very small seed, but it created a huge pit in the snow.
That was not all. The moment the seed landed on the ground, a spring-like green color began to grow. Roots emerged from the seed and pierced deep into the ice and snow.
"Crack, crack …" Sounds could be heard continuously. The roots pierced into the ground and the snow melted. A gigantic tree rushed out of the snow and grew at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye.
It was so fast that it was almost eerie.
Thirty feet, fifty feet, ten feet …
The gigantic tree grew taller and taller, as if it was going to reach the sky.
As the gigantic tree continued to grow, white flowers bloomed on the branches. The flowers had snow-white petals and a faint silver radiance flowed on the petals.
It was a strange and inexplicable scene.
However, there wasn't any surprise on Nangong Tian's face. Instead, there was an unconcealable excitement on his face.
"Is it finally here?" Nangong Tian seemed to be murmuring to himself. However, it sounded like he had been waiting for thousands of years for a long time.
…
While the strange scene was happening in the Nangong Nobles, strange things were happening in the entire Holy Region, especially around the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
Mu Qingfeng, who was wearing a snow-white robe, stood at the entrance of the dilapidated black stone palace on the cliff of the Sword Peak. He frowned. The stone door of the palace was completely open, but it was still dark inside.
Of course, this was not important.
What was important was that there was a gigantic beast the size of a hill lying on the ground a hundred meters in front of Mu Qingfeng. It was growling continuously.
For the Holy Region …
It was not too bizarre to see a beast that was as tall as a hill, because there were many powerful beasts in the Sanctuary.
However, the beast in front of him did not belong to the category of powerful beasts.
The reason was simple. Mu Qingfeng knew this beast, or rather, he had seen it at the foot of the Sword Peak. It was a Steel-armed Stone Ape with a scar on its left arm.
This Direbeast was very common, so common that if it wasn't for the scar on its left arm, Mu Qingfeng wouldn't even have any impression of it.
However, the scar on the Steel-armed Stone Ape's left arm was still there. However, its body size had increased by ten times, and its steel arm was shining with a faint golden light.
"Master, I found another Black-Striped Silver Leopard ten miles away. However … it's already a Black-Striped Golden Leopard. It's even bigger than this Steel-armed Stone Ape!" A Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple leaped down from the sky and landed softly below the dilapidated black stone palace.
"Got it." Mu Qingfeng nodded and did not say anything else. He raised his finger slowly and pointed at the Steel-armed Stone Ape in front of him.
"Ow!" The Steel Arm Stone Ape let out a cry of pain. Its body, which was like a small mountain, trembled as it leaned back and heavily smashed into the ground.
"Bring this Steel-armed Stone Ape back to the Heaven Dao Pavilion and let the Third Elder deal with it." Mu Qingfeng turned around and walked into the dilapidated black stone palace.
"Yes!" The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple immediately obeyed.
…
The Western Mountain Range of the Holy Region, Yin Yang Hall.
The moonlight and the stars in the sky gradually dimmed. The night did not pass too quickly, but it was not too slow either. The disciples of the Yin Yang Hall had been busy for almost half the night. Then, when the sky was about to brighten, they gradually fell asleep.
Of course, there were many disciples in charge of night patrols.
This was a rule that had always existed in the Yin Yang Hall. Tonight, this rule remained the same. However, the disciples of the Yin Yang Hall were more talkative than usual.
"We're almost at the 1000 Herb Hall!"
"I wonder what kind of pills Master has been concocting recently?"
"Recently, the hall has been lacking 'White Frosty Dew'. I think master will be cultivating it in the next few days. I really want to go to the 1000 Herb Hall to take a look!"
"Who doesn't want to? However, the 1000 Herb Hall is master's residence. How can lowly disciples like us have the right to go and take a look personally? "
"That's right, I have to continue working hard. I hope that one day, I can really learn from master. If that happens, that would be great!"
"Let's focus on our patrol first!"
The disciples of the Yin Yang Hall chatted as they patrolled around. They seemed rather inattentive, and some of them even yawned from time to time.
Not far away from these disciples, there was a tall tree in the Yin Yang Hall. At this moment, there was a figure standing on it, completely hidden in the tree.
"1000 Herb Hall?" The figure looked at a stone hall not far away and an antique wooden plaque on the top of the stone hall. On the plaque, the three words "Thousand Herb Hall" were written forcefully. "Ten acres of the herbal fields have been looted, but they're still so lax in guarding it. This trap is really a bit 'brazen'!"
The figure's lips curled into a smile. He raised his head to look at the sky, which was about to light up. Then, he moved and approached the 1000 Herb Hall using the trees and the shadows around him.
After a while, the figure arrived at the side of the 1000 Herb Hall.
This was a stone hall that wasn't too luxurious. However, the stone of this stone hall was slightly different from the other stone halls. It seemed to be much more ancient …
Apart from that, there was a Yin Yang Diagram formed by black and white on the plaque. Of course, it wasn't an ordinary black and white, but two gems, one black and one white.
They looked like a person's eyes!
