"Hmm … yes, with you protecting Ping Yang … I … I am assured …" Lin Mubai nodded subconsciously. He looked at Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang with a complicated expression.
It was too fast!
He could not even react to what had just happened. How did Fang Zhengzhi dodge the dagger shot out by the lady in the white dress? How did he reach the lady in the white dress so quickly? He did not see any of this clearly, and he could not see it clearly at all.
He had grown. He had really grown. Not only Ping Yang, but Fang Zhengzhi had also grown. In fact, he seemed to have grown even more terrifyingly.
Lin Mubai remembered that a few months ago, he was still Fang Zhengzhi's subordinate. At that time, they were facing the Holy Barbarian Empire and the Monster King Xieluo together.
But now …
In just a few short months, he realized that Fang Zhengzhi, who was standing in front of him, had reached a position that even he had to look up to.
"Hmph, I don't need your protection!" After the initial shock, Ping Yang quickly came back to her senses. She pouted her small pink lips and blushed a little.
However, she kept looking at the lady in the white dress who had fainted. She had a look of disbelief on her face and her chest was heaving up and down due to her nervousness.
Fang Zhengzhi did not mind Ping Yang's words.
In fact, he preferred Ping Yang to be like this because this was Ping Yang's true personality. She was a little willful, a little barbaric, and a little stubborn.
"Then should I shout?" Fang Zhengzhi asked casually.
"Shout? What do you want to shout? "Ping Yang did not understand.
Lin Mubai was also confused. However, he did not ask. He seemed to have regained his composure as an emperor. Of course, this also meant that Lin Mubai had absolute trust in Fang Zhengzhi.
"I, Fang Zhengzhi, am a guest from afar. Even though I knocked out a disciple of Ling Yun Tower along the way, injured another one just now, and even brought a slave here, I'm still a guest. Ling Yun Tower shouldn't be rude to their guests, right? Therefore, please bring Cang Yue out and serve me tea! "
Fang Zhengzhi's voice reverberated in the sky above Ling Yun Tower. However, Lin Mubai could not hide the bitter smile on his face when he heard it.
"Serve tea!"
"Serve tea personally!"
Even though Lin Mubai had always known about Fang Zhengzhi's shamelessness, he still could not comprehend it. After all, under normal circumstances, no one would be shameless enough to say such things.
Knocking out a disciple of the Ling Yun Tower? Not only that, but he had also injured one and kidnapped a slave …
He really had the guts to admit his mistakes!
This was absolutely a capital offense in any sect, right?
Furthermore, it was a capital offense. However, when Fang Zhengzhi said it, it sounded as if he was in the right and had been wronged. He even wanted the leader of Ling Yun Tower to bring Cang Yue out to serve him tea.
Lin Mubai really couldn't imagine how shameless a person had to be to be able to say such a thing, and to say it in such a righteous manner.
…
Holy Region, Heaven Dao Pavilion, below the Sword Peak.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, a snow-white figure rushed out from the broken black stone palace at the foot of the Sword Peak.
"Pavilion Master!"
"Master!"
The two elders who were guarding outside the black stone palace and the dozens of Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples were extremely nervous when they saw the figure rushing out.
After all …
Mu Qingfeng had been in the dilapidated black stone palace for far too long. From the moment he had entered until now, it had been almost two months.
"Crack!" A huge tree was broken by the snow-white figure. Its huge and dense branches fell, leaving a patch of green on the ground.
Mu Qingfeng half-knelt on the ground, his face slightly pale.
"Pavilion Master, what happened?" An elder quickly came to Mu Qingfeng's side and immediately extended his hand to help Mu Qingfeng, who was half-kneeling on the ground.
"It's not a relic …" Mu Qingfeng didn't answer the elder's question directly. Instead, he stared at the broken black stone palace with a pale face.
"It's not a relic?!" The elder's expression changed at this moment.
Although Mu Qingfeng didn't answer him directly, his answer clearly shocked him even more.
Three months ago, the broken black stone palace landed at the foot of the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
Until now …
The entire world had undergone a shocking change. The beasts became stronger and there were all sorts of changes in the Holy Region. All of these happened suddenly.
In the eyes of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, all of these changes were probably closely related to the broken black stone palace in front of them.
But now, Mu Qingfeng's statement that it was not a relic had undoubtedly pushed this matter into a shocking and unknown territory.
The fallen black stone palace was not a relic?
Then what was it?
This was the doubt in the elder's heart.
However, Mu Qingfeng obviously couldn't give him an answer immediately. He continued to stare at the broken black stone palace and even forgot to wipe the blood at the corner of his mouth.
The elder finally reacted. Mu Qingfeng had come out. Then, where was Chi Guyan? Why didn't Chi Guyan come out from the broken black stone palace?
After all, the two people who entered the black stone palace two months ago were Mu Qingfeng and Chi Guyan.
"Kaboom!" Just as the elder felt an extreme sense of danger, another loud sound came from the black stone palace.
Then, a pink figure flew out. It was different from when Mu Qingfeng flew out. The pink figure was wrapped in a five-colored radiance.
"Guyan!"
"Senior Chi Guyan has come out!"
"That's great!"
Mu Qingfeng's eyes finally revealed a sense of relief. The other Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples who were guarding the black stone palace were also extremely happy.
"Pavilion Leader, what exactly …" The elder tried to ask again.
"Pass my words down immediately. Inform the other four sects and immediately call for a meeting. If what I saw is true, I'm afraid that something big is going to happen!" Mu Qingfeng waved his hand. Blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth once again. However, he still gritted his teeth and said.
"Alright, I'll do it immediately!" The elder didn't ask any further. He immediately turned around and summoned a gigantic beast. He leaped onto it and flew towards the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
At this moment, Chi Guyan arrived in front of Mu Qingfeng. She stared at Mu Qingfeng's pale face with her starry eyes.
She was different from Mu Qingfeng.
Chi Guyan's face wasn't pale. On the contrary, there was a radiance flowing on her face. It was a radiance formed by the convergence of five different colors. However, this radiance didn't last for long. When Chi Guyan arrived beside Mu Qingfeng, the radiance naturally disappeared without a trace.
"Master, you … Why did you do this?"
"Guyan! The hope of the Holy Region isn't on me. It's on you. Therefore, you don't have to think too much. You just have to remember that everything I'm doing is for the Heaven Dao Pavilion, for the Holy Region and for the people of the world. That's enough! "Mu Qingfeng waved his hand.
"But …" Chi Guyan seemed like she wanted to say something.
"Guyan, there's something I've always wanted to ask you." Mu Qingfeng interrupted Chi Guyan's words.
"Master, please ask!"
"Answer me honestly for once. Regarding him, did I really do something wrong?" Mu Qingfeng's eyes were filled with anticipation as he said this. It was as if he was searching for an answer.
"From your perspective, I didn't. If I were in your position, I would make the same decision." Chi Guyan shook her head gently.
"What if you weren't in my position?" Mu Qingfeng asked again.
"There's a saying in chess: The onlooker sees more clearly than the player involved in the game. Once you leave the game, your thoughts will naturally become clearer. When Master asked this question, he already knew the answer." Chi Guyan pondered for a moment before replying.
"Haha … Yes, you're right. I already knew the answer. It's just that I didn't want to admit it." Mu Qingfeng smiled and looked at the sky. "Guyan, I've already informed the other four sects to discuss a strategy. Go and prepare!"
"Alright." Chi Guyan nodded and looked at the sky with her bright eyes. Coincidentally, she was looking in the direction of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain.
…
Holy Region, Ling Yun Tower.
Following Fang Zhengzhi's righteous shout, three women in white and more than ten women in green leaped out of the Ling Yun Tower.
In fact, Fang Zhengzhi had already expected this outcome.
After all, Fang Zhengzhi had caused a huge commotion when he knocked out the lady in the white dress. As long as the people from Ling Yun Tower were not idiots, they would have come out to face the enemy.
As for why he shouted this …
One of the more important reasons was that Fang Zhengzhi did not want to fight his way up level by level.
It would take too much time!
Therefore, he decided to use his taunt mode and taunt the leader of Ling Yun Tower directly. He wanted to get straight to the point and cut through the Gordian knot.
However, the strange thing was that his taunting did not have the desired effect. After the three ladies in white and more than ten in green came out, there was no more movement from Ling Yun Tower.
It was as if they did not hear him at all.
What was the meaning of this?
Fang Zhengzhi did not understand. If his direct provocation did not work, could it be that the Leader of Ling Yun Tower was looking down on him?
However, that should not be the case. Even if the Leader of Ling Yun Tower was looking down on him, Cang Yue should have appeared, right?
After all, Cang Yue had personally witnessed the agreement between him and Ping Yang half a year ago. She should be very clear about his motive for coming to Ling Yun Tower. Furthermore, with Cang Yue's personality, she would not have avoided meeting him.
Could it be …
That she had not woken up?
Fang Zhengzhi's reason seemed a little ridiculous, but he still thought of it. There was no reason, and he did not need to prove it. It was just a thought.
Then, because of this thought, Fang Zhengzhi decided to shout again.
"Cang Yue, didn't you say that I was dead? Shouldn't you come out to see a dead person like me? Or are you saying that everything you said half a year ago was bullsh * t? Or do you want to be a coward?! "Fang Zhengzhi shouted again. This time, he was targeting Cang Yue.
"How dare you! How dare you call Lady Cang Yue by her name!" The three ladies in white were obviously angry when they heard Fang Zhengzhi's words.
Of course, their anger was mainly because of the lady in white who was knocked out by Fang Zhengzhi. They were more or less surprised.
Fang Zhengzhi didn't even look at the three women in white because he saw a silver-white light flash on top of Ling Yun Tower as soon as he finished speaking.
However …
But the light didn't last for too long.
It disappeared almost instantly. However, Fang Zhengzhi's lips curled into a faint smile.
At this moment, a voice came from Ling Yun Tower.
"Since you are a guest, Ling Yun Tower will treat you with respect. However, if you want our Tower Leader to serve you tea personally, you have to be a VIP. Green Jade, please explain to our guest!"
"Yes!" One of the women in white bowed respectfully in the direction of the voice. Then, she turned back to Fang Zhengzhi and said, "According to the rules of Ling Yun Tower, there are only two ways to become our esteemed guest!"
"Oh? Which two? "Fang Zhengzhi asked casually.
"The first way is if you are invited by Ling Yun Tower. This way … Young Master Fang does not belong to it, so I won't explain further. The second way is if you come without an invitation. Green Jade, you can explain further. Ling Yun Tower has a way to deal with those who come without an invitation and want to be our VIP. It is very simple. We will ask our guests to go up the tower themselves and determine their VIP rank according to the number of floors they go up to!"
"So, which floor should I go up to?"
"Based on Young Master Fang's request, I'm afraid that only the highest level, the Ninth Floor, has the right to serve tea for our Tower Master!"
"So I have to fight my way up from the first floor to the ninth floor?" Fang Zhengzhi seemed to understand.
"You can understand it that way!" Green Jade nodded.
"What if I don't want to follow Ling Yun Tower's rules?"
"It seems that … it's no longer up to Young Master Fang, right?" Green Jade's lips curled into a smile. However, it was a cold smile.
"Is that so?" When Fang Zhengzhi heard this, he looked at the gigantic Ling Yun Tower in front of him and smiled. "I don't think so. After all, rules are dead, but people are alive!"
