"No!" Ping Yang gripped her spear tightly. She wanted to move faster so that she could stop everything, even if it would cost her her life.
However, she was only a Sage, and this speed was already her limit. How could she move any faster?
Anger and despair.
She was filled with all sorts of emotions.
She initially thought that the situation had turned for the better, but she didn't expect the situation to be in danger again in the blink of an eye.
She was too careless!
Why would the leader of Ling Yun Tower have the time to tell them stories about the past? It was just that the story was too fascinating, so much so that she wanted to listen to it carefully at that moment.
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. Ping Yang could only hear the sound of the wind. She hated herself for being useless. She hated herself for not noticing Qian Ye's sneak attack and listening to Qian Ye's story wholeheartedly.
Ping Yang was unwilling to give up as the golden sunlight was about to fall. However, she didn't close her eyes. Instead, she focused on the scene in front of her.
Fang Zhengzhi dodged the ray of sunlight.
He was equally fast!
Moreover, Fang Zhengzhi retreated rapidly as he dodged the ray of sunlight. In the blink of an eye, he was beside her.
Then, Ping Yang felt her waist being gently hugged by a hand. Her body, which had been rushing forward desperately, was pulled back.
"Silly girl." A calm voice was heard.
A familiar scent entered her nose. There was a kind of tranquility, just like the night she stayed by the cold pond, tranquil and filled with a sense of security.
"Shameless brat, he … He's saving me too?!" Ping Yang was deeply shocked. When she was trying her best to save Fang Zhengzhi, Fang Zhengzhi was also trying his best to save her.
This didn't seem to be a tacit agreement.
However, Ping Yang was touched. Sometimes, tacit agreement wasn't necessary. All they needed was for them to think of each other's safety.
Qian Ye didn't slow down. In fact, she was speeding up as she approached Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang in a straight line. Moreover, the golden pearl in her hand was shining brightly.
She was getting closer!
"Leader, have you ever thought that I've been waiting for this sneak attack for a long time!" Fang Zhengzhi turned to look at Qian Ye and smiled faintly.
"Huh?!" Qian Ye's expression froze. At the same time, she unknowingly slowed down a little. However, this slight delay allowed her to widen the distance between her and Fang Zhengzhi.
"As expected, those who are tolerant are bound to be suspicious! Thank you for sparing my life! "When Fang Zhengzhi's voice rang out again, he had already disappeared.
Of course, Ping Yang also disappeared with him.
In an instant, Ping Yang had a feeling that her body was rushing forward at an unbelievable speed. It was so fast that it seemed like she was teleporting.
Her vision became a little blurry.
When she regained her vision, she was already in front of Ling Yun Tower. There was another person standing in front of her. His eyes were wide open and he had the same expression of disbelief as hers.
Cang Yue!
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. From Qian Ye's sneak attack, to Fang Zhengzhi pulling Ping Yang back, to Fang Zhengzhi taking advantage of Qian Ye's hesitation to bypass Qian Ye and arrive in front of Cang Yue, everything happened in the blink of an eye.
It was so fast that no one could react in time.
"Is this the shameless brat's true strength?!" Ping Yang finally understood that the gap between her and Fang Zhengzhi in terms of power had never been narrowed.
…
Fang Zhengzhi didn't know what Ping Yang was thinking.
All he knew was that he'd been waiting for Qian Ye's sneak attack for a very long time, and he had to thank Cang Yue for all of this. Because it was Cang Yue's lost gaze that allowed him to sense the ceaselessly condensing aura behind Qian Ye's back.
Sneak attack?
That was Fang Zhengzhi's forte.
He couldn't just dodge a sneak attack. Since Qian Ye liked to act, he couldn't possibly spoil her mood.
Initially, he wanted to seize the opportunity to take down Cang Yue, who was protected by Qian Ye, when Qian Ye attacked.
After all, Cang Yue was the core of the problem.
However, he didn't expect Ping Yang to be so impulsive.
When he deliberately exposed his flaws, he did not expect Ping Yang to choose to rush out. This feeling made him feel a little helpless, but he also felt a little familiar.
Perhaps this was Ping Yang!
A troublesome, stubborn, and unruly princess!
However, it was precisely this troublesome, stubborn, and unruly princess who had accompanied him through crisis after crisis until now, and had even blocked several attacks for him.
Of course, it was meaningless to talk about this now. Although there was a small interlude, the result was the same as expected.
His sword was drawn!
A devilish purple light shone!
However, Cang Yue wasn't going to give up just like that. Her body shone with a bright silver radiance when Fang Zhengzhi appeared in front of her, and a dazzling starlight appeared in her hand.
"Go and die!" Cang Yue attacked without holding back.
That was because if Fang Zhengzhi was alone, her first reaction would be to escape. After all, she knew that she wasn't a match for Fang Zhengzhi, who was using both hands.
However, when Fang Zhengzhi hugged Ping Yang with one hand and only had one left, she still wanted to give it a try. This was a rare opportunity.
"It seems like it's a blessing in disguise!" Fang Zhengzhi smiled brightly as he looked at Cang Yue, who was pointing at him.
He wasn't confident that he could take down Cang Yue when she was trying to escape, but it seemed like Ping Yang's appearance made up for it.
Cang Yue …
Didn't escape!
"Then … Lie down!" Fang Zhengzhi disappeared on the spot again, and eight black shadows appeared around Cang Yue at the same time.
It was Dragon Dances in All Directions!
However, Fang Zhengzhi didn't kill Cang Yue with his sword this time. Instead, he slapped Cang Yue's body with his sword radiance.
"Cang Yue!" At this moment, Qian Ye's voice was heard. Following that, a golden radiance shot towards one of the eight shadows around Cang Yue like a ray of light.
But it was obvious that it was too late.
Cang Yue was already kneeling in front of Ping Yang and Fang Zhengzhi, and a long sword that was glowing with a devilish purple light was placed on her neck.
Qian Ye stopped moving, and the two golden pearls in her palms were glowing brightly. However, she stopped two steps away from Fang Zhengzhi.
"Leader, how about we exchange Cang Yue's life for Yu Er's imprisonment?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Qian Ye, who was right in front of him. From her expression, he could tell that she was extremely furious. However, Fang Zhengzhi wasn't too bothered, because he wasn't the one who was furious.
"Dream on!" Qian Ye's voice was cold.
"Alright, since you're not willing to tell me, I'll ask Cang Yue myself." Fang Zhengzhi didn't seem surprised at all, as if he had expected Qian Ye's reply.
"Hmph, do you think I'll tell you?" Cang Yue spoke at this moment. She clenched her fists as she looked at Qian Ye.
She lost twice in a row!
Moreover, she lost to Fang Zhengzhi on the same day when he was holding Ping Yang in his arms. She was furious, but also filled with hatred.
Why!
She couldn't understand how a person who was almost certain to die could become a Sage in just a few months and become so powerful.
"Haha, why won't you tell me?" Fang Zhengzhi chuckled, as if he didn't notice the anger and hatred on Cang Yue's face.
"Hahaha … Fang Zhengzhi, are you out of your mind? Why should I tell you where my master is being imprisoned? "Cang Yue sneered when she heard this.
"Because I can save your master. Don't you want to save your master? Or is it as I said, that you've already betrayed your master? "Fang Zhengzhi said matter-of-factly.
"Save my master? Hahaha … You want to save my master? What a joke, hahaha … What a joke! " This time, Cang Yue really laughed. Moreover, she laughed without the slightest hesitation. She laughed extremely loudly.
"Can't I?" Fang Zhengzhi asked.
"Yes, of course you can. Kill Ping Yang then. As long as you kill Ping Yang, I'll tell you where my master is being imprisoned!"
"Do you think it's possible?"
"Impossible, right? Hahaha … What if I told you that the only way to save master is to kill Ping Yang? What would you do? "Cang Yue turned around and stared intently at Fang Zhengzhi after she finished speaking.
"Kill Ping Yang? That's the only way to save Yu Er? "Fang Zhengzhi frowned.
"That's right. Ping Yang is my master's seal! Are you going to kill her? Hahaha … Didn't you say that you want to save my master? Go ahead and kill her. My master will be released soon after you kill her! " Cang Yue nodded with a crazed expression. "Now, do you know why I want her dead?"
"I'm my mother's seal?! So … I was the one who sealed my mother … "When Ping Yang heard this, her face instantly turned pale, and her body started to tremble uncontrollably. Her eyes that were as clear as water were filled with an expression of disbelief.
"Ping Yang, this is just Cang Yue's ploy to sow discord!" Fang Zhengzhi frowned even more when he sensed the change in Ping Yang's expression.
He naturally did not believe Cang Yue's words. However, for some reason, when he saw Cang Yue's crazed expression, he vaguely felt that Cang Yue's words were not entirely false.
Of course, he would not tell her this feeling.
Or rather, even if what Cang Yue said was true, he would not kill Ping Yang just to save Yu Er. That was simply impossible.
"Sow discord? Haha, Fang Zhengzhi, you are a smart man. You should be able to tell whether I'm speaking the truth or not. If not for that, why would I, Cang Yue, submit to someone other than my master? I wanted to kill Ping Yang ever since she was born. After that, she became my master's seal. I hated her to the core and wished for her to die. However, I couldn't. She is my master's flesh and blood. No matter how much I wanted to kill her, I couldn't. Because I know how much my master loves her. If I killed her, my master would never forgive me, never … "
Cang Yue bit her lips tightly at the end of her sentence. Blood flowed from the corner of her mouth and dripped onto the ground.
"But you can do it!" Cang Yue looked at Fang Zhengzhi before turning to Lin Mubai. "Oh yes, Lin Mubai, you can do it too. Didn't you say that you love my master? Then kill Ping Yang. As long as you kill Ping Yang, my master will be able to break free from her seal and regain her freedom! "
"Nonsense, how could I believe your words!" Lin Mubai's eyes turned cold, and he subconsciously clenched his fists tightly.
"Haha, Lin Mubai, you should know very well whether I'm spouting nonsense or not. Didn't Chen Feihua tell you something when she carried Ping Yang back more than ten years ago?"
"Shut up!" Lin Mubai's expression changed when he heard this.
"Hahaha, you knew about it! That's right, Chen Feihua must have told you about it. If she didn't tell you that Ping Yang's life was related to the safety of the world, you wouldn't have kept Ping Yang in Flame Capital City! "Cang Yue laughed when she saw Lin Mubai's expression.
"Cang Yue, I won't believe you!" Lin Mubai bit his lips tightly at this moment. Then, he looked at Ping Yang and said, "Ping Yang, go back with me. We'll go back to the Great Xia Dynasty now. We won't see your mother. With me by your side, we'll be the same as before, alright?"
"Father, she's speaking the truth, right?" Ping Yang looked at Lin Mubai. Her eyes were as clear as water, and there was a kind of unwillingness and determination.
"Don't listen to her nonsense!" Lin Mubai's tone became stern.
