"You …" Lin Mubai still wanted to say something, but after he opened his mouth, he didn't manage to say the words that had reached his mouth.
Silence. Silence.
Ling Yun Tower's disciples didn't say a word, but the way they looked at Fang Zhengzhi, Ping Yang, and Lin Mubai was enough to tell them what they were thinking.
Just like what Qian Ye said, they were in Ling Yun Tower, one of the most powerful sects in the Holy Region. Therefore, no matter how powerful they were, they still had to follow Ling Yun Tower's rules.
"Shameless fellow, you … leave. The matter between me and Imperial Father, we'll …" Ping Yang naturally saw the situation in the field. Her lips moved and her body trembled slightly. Her clear eyes flashed with a crimson light. She seemed to be making an extremely difficult decision in her heart.
But just as she was about to continue speaking, she saw Fang Zhengzhi looking at her. She saw a kind of determination in his eyes, a determination that came from his heart.
This kind of determination suddenly filled her somewhat hesitant heart. It was like a small boat floating on the sea had suddenly found a harbor to stop at.
Tranquil, peaceful, and full of security.
At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi slowly turned around and walked towards her. Step by step, he did not walk too quickly, but he still managed to reach her side.
"What do you want to do … do …" Ping Yang's breathing became rapid. Her chest started heaving up and down as she stared at Fang Zhengzhi.
"Do?" Fang Zhengzhi scanned Ping Yang's body with a strange look. Finally, his gaze landed on Ping Yang's chest, which was rising and falling rapidly. Then, he shook his head and said, "You have indeed grown a lot, but this doesn't seem to be the right time."
"Not the right time? You've … grown a lot? " Ping Yang couldn't react in time. However, when she saw Fang Zhengzhi looking at her chest, she reacted quickly and said, "Shameless brat, what are you talking about? I'm the princess … How could I … "
"That's the Ping Yang I know. Alright, don't worry and protect the emperor. I'll handle everything!" Fang Zhengzhi smiled. Then, he turned around and shielded Ping Yang and Lin Mubai behind him. He looked at Qian Ye and said, "Alright, I'll take the test reluctantly!"
"He agreed?"
"Did he really agree to it?"
The disciples of Ling Yun Tower looked at each other in shock. After all, Fang Zhengzhi was bound to lose under such conditions.
Ping Yang widened her eyes as she stared at the average-sized figure in front of her. For some reason, she felt a sense of warmth in her heart.
"That's right, this shameless fellow is worried because of Qian Ye's words. That's why he deliberately walked over to protect me … However, isn't his expression a little too shameless?" Ping Yang shook her head to get rid of the messy thoughts in her mind, but she didn't know that her mood was completely different from the disappointment and sadness she felt just now.
A gust of wind blew past, causing Fang Zhengzhi's blue robe to flutter. Under the illumination of the golden light screen, a faint black shadow was cast on the ground.
"Haha, let's begin." Qian Ye looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who stood in front of Ping Yang and Lin Mubai, and smiled. She didn't seem surprised by Fang Zhengzhi's decision at all.
"Sure, but there's something that I need to make clear first." Fang Zhengzhi nodded. He glanced at Cang Yue and the disciples of Ling Yun Tower, and finally fixed his gaze on Qian Ye.
"Go ahead." Qian Ye remained calm.
"I hope that you remember what you said just now. If I pass the test, you'll tell me everything about Yu Er. If you dare to break your promise …" Fang Zhengzhi stopped halfway through his sentence.
"What do you want?" Qian Ye asked curiously.
"Leader, I'm afraid that you've forgotten something. I've never joined any of the Five Sects of the Holy Region ever since I entered the Holy Region. Even in the Shadow Sect, I'm just a nominal member. Therefore, the biggest difference between me and the members of the Five Sects of the Holy Region is that I'm actually a free person!"
"A free person?"
"Yes, unrestrained freedom. It means that I can do whatever I want. No one can restrict me, and no one can stop me!" Fang Zhengzhi explained.
"And?" Qian Ye frowned.
"Perhaps the Ling Yun Tower is an impregnable forbidden area to others. However, to me, it's just a passing scenery. I can come and go whenever I want. Of course, I can also kill people if I want. I can kill two people today, three people tomorrow …"
"Don't you dare!" Qian Ye's calm expression finally changed, because she understood what Fang Zhengzhi was trying to say.
"Leader, you should know very well whether I dare to do it or not! I've said so much because I want to warn you that I can go back on my word and act shamelessly. However, you … can't because you're the leader of Ling Yun Tower. Unless you want Ling Yun Tower to be in chaos from now on! "
As soon as Fang Zhengzhi finished his sentence, the Traceless Sword in his hand moved. A demonic purple light lit up and turned into a twisted sword radiance. It attacked the disciples of the Ling Yun Tower who had a cold expression on their faces.
This scene was extremely sudden.
It could be said that Ling Yun Tower's Tower Master, Qian Ye, and the surrounding Ling Yun Tower disciples could not react in time.
However, the sword radiance had already landed.
"Boom!" A loud sound rang out.
A few Ling Yun Tower disciples who were standing around with swords were sent flying. Their blood splattered and their eyes were filled with disbelief.
That was because no one expected Fang Zhengzhi to attack at this moment, or rather, Fang Zhengzhi dared to attack at this moment.
But Fang Zhengzhi did strike, and he did so decisively without any hesitation. It felt as if he was casually tasting a cup of tea, or picking up a stone by the river.
He was calm and unrestrained!
"Pfft!" A few disciples of Ling Yun Tower fell to the ground. Their faces were as pale as snow, and they couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Evidently, they were severely injured.
Cang Yue, the disciples of Ling Yun Tower, Ping Yang, and Lin Mubai were all stunned by this sudden scene.
"How dare you!"
"Fang Zhengzhi, you're courting death!"
Following two loud roars, almost 200 long swords were pointed at Fang Zhengzhi.
The disciples of Ling Yun Tower were shocked. They couldn't believe what they were seeing, but they still raised their swords in the face of such provocation.
"Courting death? Ever since I stepped into Ling Yun Tower, people have been repeating this to me. However, I'm still standing here and I'm not dead. Isn't that right? "Fang Zhengzhi looked at the angry disciples around him and replied casually.
"…"
"You …"
The disciples of Ling Yun Tower wanted to attack immediately, but they knew that Fang Zhengzhi's words were harsh, but they were the truth.
Fang Zhengzhi didn't continue arguing with the disciples of Ling Yun Tower. Instead, he looked at Qian Ye calmly again.
He had to take a gamble at this moment!
He was betting that Qian Ye had some misgivings because that was the only way he could obtain more chips under the current circumstances without being led by Qian Ye.
"Leader, didn't you say that I wouldn't dare to do it? What can you do to me now that I've made my move? Are you sure that you can trap me with this incomplete Ling Yun Realm? If not, are you prepared to take revenge on me? I didn't kill anyone this time, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to kill anyone with my next attack! " Fang Zhengzhi fixed his gaze on Qian Ye's face, and his expression was filled with arrogance.
"Are you threatening me?" Qian Ye's expression finally turned a little cold at this moment. It was a chill that came from the depths of her bones.
"I'm not threatening you, but at least you have the right to choose whether you want to keep your word or not." Fang Zhengzhi's lips curled into a smile.
Qian Ye squinted her eyes, and golden rays flickered in them. She didn't say anything, at least not for the time being.
No one knew what she was thinking.
Silence.
As the leader of Ling Yun Tower and a superior existence among the Five Sects of the Holy Region, she chose to remain silent at this moment.
The atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.
The disciples of Ling Yun Tower clenched their swords tightly. As one of the Five Sects of the Holy Region, they were proud and arrogant, but they were being threatened by someone.
Even if they didn't want to admit it.
However, the truth was that they were indeed threatened. Furthermore, they were threatened by an 18-year-old young man who had just stepped into the Sanctuary-realm less than a few months ago.
After some time, Qian Ye finally opened her eyes again. Golden rays filled her eyes, and she looked as if she was bathing in a holy radiance.
"Since you're willing to follow my rules, I, Qian Ye, will keep my promise. As long as you can pass the assessment, I'll tell you about Yu Er. However, if you can't … you must leave the Penta-colored Flower behind. Otherwise, only one of us will survive in Ling Yun Realm!"
The entire space shook violently as soon as Qian Ye finished her sentence. Almost 100 rays of golden light fell from the sky and sliced the space apart like golden blades.
Crack! Black cracks appeared in the air from time to time. After the golden light landed on the ground, an incomparably huge pattern slowly appeared on the ground.
It was an image that was almost identical to Ling Yun Tower. It was a nine-storey building, and every floor had the same color as Ling Yun Tower.
A strong gust of wind blew.
Qian Ye's golden dress fluttered in the wind. A terrifying aura emanated from Qian Ye's body. She was even stronger than Tian Xing and Mu Qingfeng.
"Leader, do you want to die that badly?" Fang Zhengzhi took a step forward and pointed his Traceless Sword forward. Four-colored rays of light shone from his body. They were as blue as the sky, as green as jade, as red as blood, and as black as hell.
Four different rays of light shone in the air. Together with the devilish purple light on his Traceless Sword, it was a creepy and chilling scene.
At this moment, the expressions of the surrounding Ling Yun Tower disciples changed.
That was because both Qian Ye and Fang Zhengzhi's aura was too heavy. Fang Zhengzhi's murderous aura was so intense that it was terrifying. It felt as if invisible claws were wreaking havoc around his body.
"Interesting, it's getting more and more interesting. Hahaha … Fang Zhengzhi, let's begin!" Qian Ye moved her finger, and the golden rays of sunlight disappeared instantly. The gust of wind stopped, and everything became peaceful again.
"Alright, let's begin!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded. The four-colored radiance on his body also returned to his body in an instant. His murderous intent disappeared, and everything became calm and tranquil again.
The disciples of Ling Yun Tower all heaved a sigh of relief. It was as if a huge mountain that was pressing down on them had suddenly disappeared.
However, they didn't notice that there were already some fine beads of sweat on their foreheads.
They finally understood why Qian Ye hadn't done anything yet, and why Fang Zhengzhi was still alive after breaking into Ling Yun Tower.
Although it wasn't because of the Penta-coloured Flower, the most important factor was his power!
He was definitely powerful enough to make others worry!
Mastering four out of the Six Rebirth Dao Techniques was something that had never happened in the Holy Region for thousands of years. Most importantly, there were too many unfathomable things about Fang Zhengzhi.
Therefore, even Qian Ye, the leader of Ling Yun Tower, had to be wary of him. Just as Fang Zhengzhi had said, could Ling Yun Realm really trap him …
Who would know?!
Fang Zhengzhi was at Nine Pinnacles Mountain before he came here!
To put it bluntly, Fang Zhengzhi shouldn't have appeared. Or rather, Fang Zhengzhi should have died a long time ago. He should have died when he was brought to Nine Pinnacles Mountain after wreaking havoc in Yin Yang Hall.
However, Fang Zhengzhi didn't die.
Not only did he not die, but he also suddenly appeared in Ling Yun Tower and entered the Sage State. He even defeated Cang Yue and broke the Five Elements Formation in an unbelievable way.
What exactly happened in Nine Pinnacles Mountain? Why did Fang Zhengzhi come to Ling Yun Tower? Furthermore, why did his powers improve so much and suddenly enter the Sage State?
