"My surname is Dao, and my name is Xin." This time, the woman did not hesitate too much. She slowly took a step forward and slowly opened her mouth.
"Dao Xin? So your surname is Dao? " Fang Zhengzhi's lips twitched. Then, he raised his head and looked at the morning sun. He knew what this surname meant. Even though the lady did not say it clearly, he had a rough idea of her identity. "Indeed, I was too soft-hearted."
"Soft-hearted?!"
"This guy actually said that he was soft-hearted? He really dared to say that! "
"I have never seen such a shameless person!"
When the disciples of Yin Yang Hall heard Fang Zhengzhi's words, they were stunned. Then, they despised Fang Zhengzhi.
"Hmm, you are indeed soft-hearted. However, this is not a bad thing." The lady, 'Dao Xin', did not despise Fang Zhengzhi. Instead, she nodded her head seriously.
"…"
"…"
The disciples of Yin Yang Hall looked at each other, then at Dao Xin, who was not far away. All of them felt as if they had been slapped in the face, and their faces were burning with pain.
Fang Zhengzhi didn't say anything else because he didn't know why Dao Xin was here. Therefore, he waited for Dao Xin to continue.
Dao Xin seemed to understand Fang Zhengzhi's intention. She did not let Fang Zhengzhi wait for too long. She continued, "Ever since you came to Yin Yang Hall, you have been soft-hearted for a total of two and a half times."
"Two and a half times?" Fang Zhengzhi's lips curled into a smile. Even he himself did not know when he had been so merciful.
Moreover, where did this two and a half times come from?
In fact, Fang Zhengzhi was not the only one. The surrounding Yin Yang Hall disciples, the elders, and the Heavenly Oasis Saint were also confused.
"Yes, a total of two and a half times. The first time was against me. You had already captured me and could tell that my identity was extraordinary. However, you still chose to act alone and did not use my life as a threat. This was the first time you were soft-hearted." Dao Xin said.
Fang Zhengzhi did not answer or speak.
However, the disciples of Yin Yang Hall were extremely shocked when they heard this. Apart from being shocked, they were also extremely furious.
"This guy actually dares …"
"Damn it!"
"We can't let him live!"
The disciples of Yin Yang Hall were furious, and their anger seemed to be even more intense than before.
Dao Xin stretched out her hand at this moment. She did not look too angry. Instead, she looked strangely calm.
"The second time you showed mercy was when you rushed out of the 1000 Herb Hall. If I'm not wrong, apart from sparing my life, you also spared the lives of the Fourth Elder, the Fifth Elder, and the Eighth Elder, am I right?" Dao Xin spoke again.
Fang Zhengzhi still did not speak. He did not want to admit this, but the truth was that he had indeed held back against Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder, and Eighth Elder.
Killing Shi Fan at the foot of the Heaven Dao Pavilion was because Shi Fan, Yuan Rong and the rest had held Yan Xiu hostage. However, Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder and Eighth Elder had not done so.
Fang Zhengzhi had kidnapped Dao Hun.
In that case, how could the Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder, and Eighth Elder not stop him? There was no personal grudge between them, it was just that they were on different sides.
"Could it be that this guy really held back on purpose?"
"I don't know …"
"But it seems possible!"
After hearing this, the disciples of Yin Yang Hall looked at Fang Zhengzhi differently for the first time. After all, just like what Dao Xin had said, Fang Zhengzhi had injured three elders, but he did not kill any of them.
"As for the last half time, I think you already know what it is." As Dao Xin spoke, she looked at Dao Hun, who was on Fang Zhengzhi's shoulder.
Fang Zhengzhi naturally knew what Dao Xin was referring to.
Half time?
That was reasonable!
"A month ago, you killed five Sages at the foot of the Heaven Dao Pavilion. Everyone thought that you were bloodthirsty, but I don't think so. In fact, without your two and a half times of mercy, I wouldn't be standing here talking to you." Dao Xin continued before Fang Zhengzhi could speak.
"What do you want to talk about?" Fang Zhengzhi asked.
"Firstly, I have to admit that you're more powerful than I thought. However, you've already lost this battle!" Dao Xin sounded very certain.
"How so?" Fang Zhengzhi asked back.
"Because you came to the Yin Yang Hall to save people, not to kill them. However, the result was that the Yin Yang Hall was flooded with blood, and you can't leave the hall. How can you achieve your goal of saving people?"
"You think I can't leave the hall?"
"Yan Xiu is in my hands, how can you leave the hall?"
"Perhaps, I really shouldn't have let you live." When Fang Zhengzhi heard this, he tightened his grip on the Traceless Sword, and his crystal-clear eyes shone with a radiance.
"Hmm, if you had killed me from the start, you might have been able to get out of Yin Yang Hall. However, is that really the outcome you want?" Dao Xin nodded when she heard this.
"After saying so much, what are you trying to say? If you're trying to persuade me to let Dao Hun go with your glib tongue, I advise you not to waste your efforts. "Fang Zhengzhi said.
"Perhaps, we can make a deal." Dao Xin said.
"What deal?"
"I heard that you've mastered the Dao of Yin Yang?"
"Yes!"
"Then you should understand the principle of the cycle of Yin and Yang. Everything in the world is balanced, and there's nothing that doesn't give something in return. Just like Yin and Yang, if there's Yin, there'll be Yang. If there's life … there'll naturally be death!" Dao Xin said.
"Do you mean to exchange my life for Yan Xiu's?" When Fang Zhengzhi heard this, his lips curled into a faint smile.
"That's right!"
"I seem to have other options, such as bringing you and Dao Hun out of the Yin Yang Hall, and using your life to threaten Dao Hun to save Yan Xiu!"
"It's indeed a good choice, but the prerequisite is that you have a chance to catch me again, or rather, catch me before I kill Yan Xiu!" When Dao Xin finished speaking, a jade-green sword appeared in her hand. However, the tip of the sword was already pressed against Yan Xiu's heart.
Fang Zhengzhi didn't say anything, but his Traceless Sword was already pressed against Dao Hun's heart. Under the demonic purple light, it was extremely cold.
"How dare you!" Sixth Elder said.
"Fang Zhengzhi, if you dare to hurt the Hallmaster, none of you will be able to leave the Yin Yang Hall today!" Great Elder Mo Yu tightened his grip on his spear.
At this moment, Dao Xin stretched out her hand again and stopped Great Elder Mo Yu and Sixth Elder from speaking any further. Then, she looked at Fang Zhengzhi and said, "This seems to be a stalemate?"
"Isn't it?" Fang Zhengzhi asked.
Dao Xin smiled and didn't say anything. However, the sword in her hand moved down by half an inch, and with a "pu" sound, it pierced into Yan Xiu's chest.
Fang Zhengzhi's expression changed at this moment.
Not only did Fang Zhengzhi's expression change, but Yan Qianli and the Heavenly Oasis Saint's expressions also turned extremely ugly. The entire world seemed to have become silent at this moment.
After the silence, Fang Zhengzhi tightened his grip on the Traceless Sword and moved it up by half an inch. The tip of the sword moved from the position of his heart to the top of his heart.
"No!" At this moment, a hand grabbed Fang Zhengzhi's hand that was holding the Traceless Sword. It was none other than Chi Guyan, who had been silent all this while.
"Why not?" Fang Zhengzhi asked.
"He will wake up." Chi Guyan's voice wasn't loud, but was rather soft.
However, it was loud enough for Fang Zhengzhi to hear her clearly. Fang Zhengzhi's expression froze the moment he heard this.
Wake up?
He looked at Dao Xin, who was smiling not far away, and then at the longsword that Dao Xin had pierced into Yan Xiu's chest. He instinctively bit his lips.
For the first time, he truly understood that this lady, Dao Xin, was not ordinary. While she was talking and laughing, her scheme had already penetrated deep into her heart.
Provoking him!
Furthermore, she used the person that he couldn't stand to provoke him.
If not for Chi Guyan's reminder, Fang Zhengzhi would have fallen into a hopeless situation. All of this was completed within a few sentences.
Was this the Holy Region?!
"The Chosen One, Chi Guyan, is indeed very intelligent. She lives up to her reputation!" Dao Xin let out a long sigh. Then, she slowly pulled out the sword in her hand and moved it to the left by half an inch. Then, she said, "So, Fang Zhengzhi, do you still think that we are in a stalemate?"
Fang Zhengzhi bit his lips so hard that blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. His aura was extremely unstable, and waves of murderous aura surged out.
He couldn't break out of this situation.
That was because he couldn't disregard Yan Xiu's life, nor could he watch as Dao Xin's sword pierced into Yan Xiu's body.
He looked around and saw the same emotions in the eyes of the Heavenly Oasis Saint and the rest. Yes, this wasn't a stalemate. They had already lost this battle.
"Fang Zhengzhi, you've tried your best. Xiu 'er will understand!" Yan Qianli's voice was heard. At the same time, his body shone with a blood-red radiance. Then, he moved and pounced towards Dao Xin like a stream of light. He was as fast as lightning.
However, just as Yan Qianli charged towards Dao Xin, a figure blocked his way. It was the Sixth Elder of the Yin Yang Hall.
"Yan Qianli, you have to get past me first!" The Sixth Elder had already made his move as he spoke. There was no hesitation at all.
"Old Yan, let me help you!" The Heavenly Oasis Saint also moved at this moment.
The other Sages, including Yan Qing, who was fighting with the Yin Yang Hall disciples, also attacked. All of them pounced towards Dao Xin.
However, how could the Yin Yang Hall allow this to happen?
The battle that had stopped seemed to have started again. Furthermore, the anger on both sides was much stronger than before.
"Stop!" Fang Zhengzhi's voice was heard at this moment. That was because he couldn't bear to watch this massacre continue. He also couldn't bear to see the Shadow Sect disciples continue to fall.
That was enough.
Just like what Yan Qianli said, they had given their all in this battle.
"We've lost!" Fang Zhengzhi glanced at Chi Guyan beside him and saw the same expression on her face as his.
Yes, they had lost …
"It's still the condition that I mentioned just now. If there's life, there's death. You can choose whether you or Yan Xiu will live!" Dao Xin nodded and didn't seem surprised by Fang Zhengzhi's answer.
"Fang Zhengzhi, Xiu has already reached this stage. This is his fate and he can't blame anyone else!" Yan Qianli said anxiously after hearing Dao Xin's words.
"That's right, rascal. Where there's life, there's hope. As long as he's alive, there's still hope. Let's bring Yan Xiu back first, then we'll slowly think of a way …" The Heavenly Oasis Saint also said.
"Rascal, don't do anything stupid. With your talent, your future is limitless!" The Yangkun Saint said after waving his sword.
"Future?" Fang Zhengzhi raised his head slightly and looked at the sun that had risen above his head. It was so dazzling that he couldn't look at it.
He didn't want to die.
He still had many people he cared about in this world. For example, his parents in the Northern Mountain Village and the innocent and kind villagers in the Northern Mountain Village.
Furthermore, there was Ping Yang who was waiting for him in the Ling Yun Tower. There were still two months before the appointed time. He didn't know how Ping Yang was doing.
"Can you help me with two things?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Chi Guyan who was beside him. This arrogant girl would always stand by his side at crucial moments.
"No, you should do your own things." Chi Guyan shook her head and avoided Fang Zhengzhi's gaze for the first time.
"Firstly, take care of my parents. Don't tell them that I'm dead. I know that you can do that with your abilities. Secondly … Two months later, go to the Ling Yun Tower on my behalf and tell Ping Yang that I missed my appointment …" Fang Zhengzhi knew that Chi Guyan could understand his thoughts.
Moreover, he also knew that Chi Guyan wouldn't stop him from doing this because she would also make the same choice if she was in his shoes.
"It seems like you've made up your mind?" Dao Xin's voice was heard at this moment and interrupted the conversation between Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan.
"Yes, but I have another condition!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded and took two steps forward. His crystal-clear eyes shone with four colors.
"Alright, tell me!" Dao Xin smiled and slowly kept her sword. A faint medicinal fragrance permeated the air around her. It was an untainted aura that was so pure that no one could tell that she had pierced Yan Xiu's chest with her sword earlier on.
