Mu Qingfeng, Mo Shanshi and the rest looked at each other in shock and disbelief. However, that was no longer important. What was important was that Fang Zhengzhi had already stood out and blocked the Space-splitting Demon God's way.
That was enough!
"Let's go!" Mu Qingfeng looked at the two Gates of God in the sky, one green and one black. In the end, he clenched his teeth and shouted at Mo Shanshi. Then, he turned around and headed down with Mo Shanshi.
"Trying to leave? Naive! " When Monster Emperor Baizhi saw Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi escaping, she chased after them without hesitation.
"Mother, let them go." Yun Qingwu's voice was heard. Then, she shook her head at Monster Emperor Baizhi.
"Don't chase?" Monster Emperor Baizhi understood what Yun Qingwu meant. However, she was still curious as to why Yun Qingwu made such a decision.
"The Holy Region is only so big, where can Mu Qingfeng and the rest run to? It's more important to keep him here. "Yun Qingwu pointed at Fang Zhengzhi as she said.
"This brat?" Monster Emperor Baizhi frowned. Deep down, she did not agree with Yun Qingwu's decision.
After all, keeping Fang Zhengzhi alive was already a fact.
With the Space-splitting Demon God around, how could Fang Zhengzhi escape? What was the point of staying behind for Fang Zhengzhi who was definitely going to die?
Monster Emperor Baizhi did not understand.
However, given the current situation, she did not object to it directly. Just like what Yun Qingwu had said, the Holy Region was only so big. Even if Mu Qingfeng and the rest wanted to escape, where could they go? Furthermore, would Mu Qingfeng and the rest really be willing to abandon the foundations of the Holy Region that had been built for thousands of years?
"Alright, I'll spare their lives for now." Monster Emperor Baizhi nodded and did not continue to chase after them. Instead, she turned back into her human form and stood beside Yun Qingwu.
Her snow-white fur dress shone brightly under the sunlight. She was extremely beautiful, but when compared to Yun Qingwu, she seemed to exude a demonic aura.
When these two women stood side by side, it was truly beautiful.
However, Fang Zhengzhi did not have the mood to appreciate it. His gaze was fixed on the Space-splitting Demon God who was four to five steps away from him.
In fact, he was closer to Yun Qingwu than the Space-splitting Demon God.
From a strategic point of view, capturing Yun Qingwu now and using her to threaten them was obviously the best strategy.
However, Fang Zhengzhi did not do so.
It was not because he did not want to, but because he knew that he could not do it. After seeing the Space-splitting Demon God's attack on Yan Yin, he knew that he could not capture Yun Qingwu.
Furthermore, even if he managed to capture Yun Qingwu, who could be sure if the Space-splitting Demon God would give in because of Yun Qingwu?
In the words of the Space-splitting Demon God …
For a demon that had walked out of a real battlefield, killing people was just a matter of nodding his head. The so-called integrity, the so-called same race, in front of such a demon, who knew how much they were worth?
Therefore, instead of courting death, he might as well pretend to be calm.
At least, he could make use of the bet between Yun Qingwu and the Space-splitting Demon God to obtain some benefits for himself.
"Are you ready?" The Space-splitting Demon God looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who exuded an unparalleled killing aura, with a tinge of admiration in his eyes.
"Do you have wine? I want to have a sip to calm myself down! "Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.
"Haha, I'm not interested in watching you drink in front of me." The Space-splitting Demon God smiled. As someone who had walked out of a real battlefield, he was very clear about the attitude one should have when facing an enemy.
Even an ant could bite an elephant to death.
Therefore, as he spoke, he raised his right hand slowly and did not give Fang Zhengzhi any chance to play any tricks.
"Wait a minute." At the instant when the Space-splitting Demon God raised his hand, Yun Qingwu's voice was heard again. "Previously at the Northern Mountain Village, I bought a bottle of 'Apricot Spring' from the Northern Mountain Village. I heard that the recipe of this wine came from you. I still have half a bottle with me, do you want to drink it?"
"Yes, Apricot Blossom Spring, of course I have to drink." Fang Zhengzhi smiled and walked towards Yun Qingwu slowly.
The Space-splitting Demon God frowned slightly as he looked at Fang Zhengzhi who was walking towards Yun Qingwu. He raised his right hand again but put it down eventually.
Monster Emperor Baizhi clenched her fists when she saw Fang Zhengzhi walking towards her and stood in front of Yun Qingwu without any hesitation.
"Mother, don't worry, he won't kill me, at least not now." Yun Qingwu shook her head and said to Monster Emperor Baizhi.
"Oh?" Monster Emperor Baizhi was a little confused. Even with her intelligence, she did not understand why Yun Qingwu was so sure that Fang Zhengzhi would not kill her now.
"He needs me to help him stall for time now." Yun Qingwu pointed at the sages and the disciples who were fleeing for their lives.
Monster Emperor Baizhi frowned again.
She naturally noticed that after Mu Qingfeng, Mo Shanshi and the rest chose to run away, the crowd below had already dispersed in all directions.
Yin Yang Hall, Heaven Dao Pavilion, Fu Xi Valley, Ling Yun Tower and Great Xia Dynasty were all retreating down the mountain.
This was to be expected.
However, Monster Emperor Baizhi did not understand why Yun Qingwu did not seem to have the intention to chase after them. Instead, she purposely let Mu Qingfeng and the disciples leave.
Why?
Since Yun Qingwu did not explain, Monster Emperor Baizhi naturally would not ask. At least, she could not do so in this situation.
…
The mountain breeze was chilly and Yun Qingwu suddenly looked awkward.
That was because when she touched the bottom of her neck, she realized that the pendant on her neck was no longer on her neck.
"The wine is with you." Yun Qingwu finally said after being stunned for a moment.
"With me? Oh … Yes, it's with me. " Fang Zhengzhi was also stunned. Then, he quickly reacted and touched the Heart Protection Mirror on his chest.
Soon, a pot of wine with its seal removed appeared in his hand. On the top of the wine pot, there were three words written in black ink: "Apricot Spring".
Fang Zhengzhi opened the cork of the flask and took a sniff at the mouth of the wine flask. He looked satisfied and intoxicated.
"It's a natural wine, it smells so good!" Fang Zhengzhi exclaimed. Meanwhile, he looked down casually.
He could see that Dao Xin and Dao Hun had successfully brought Yan Xiu and the disciples of Yin Yang Hall down the peak of the Heaven Zen Mountain.
Apart from the disciples of Yin Yang Hall, the disciples of Heaven Dao Pavilion, Fu Xi Valley and Ling Yun Tower had also left very quickly.
"I initially thought that Qian Yu's auntie … would stay." Fang Zhengzhi sighed in his heart. To him, Qian Yu was the most likely person to stay.
That was because, apart from Dao Hun, Qian Yu was one of the most powerful people who suffered the least injuries compared to Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi.
However, Qian Yu left.
She left with the disciples of Ling Yun Tower, Emperor Lin Mubai and Ping Yang.
Of course, before she left, Qian Yu turned around and looked at the top of the Tree of God. No one knew if she was looking at the two opened Gates of God in the sky or Fang Zhengzhi who was at the top of the Tree of God.
When people left, the tea cooled down and the mountain breeze became even colder.
However, there were still a few people who were standing at the bottom of the Tree of God. They did not leave immediately. They stood quietly and looked at the sky.
The most eye-catching ones were Chi Guyan and Wu Yuer.
One pink and one black, the two of them were like two blooming flowers among the green leaves. It was impossible not to notice them.
The two of them did not stand next to each other. Instead, they were 20 steps away from each other.
Chi Guyan's pink dress fluttered in the wind. The blood on her dress looked like balls of burning red flames.
As compared to Chi Guyan, Wu Yuer had much fewer blood stains on her body. The black dress wrapped around her exquisite figure and made her look even more charming.
Both of them did not leave. Or rather, they did not leave yet.
Of course, apart from Chi Guyan and Wu Yuer, there were a few people who did not leave. One of them was the Heavenly Oasis Saint and the other was Yan Qianli.
The disciples of Shadow Sect had left, but the Heavenly Oasis Saint and Yan Qianli did not. Perhaps, they were waiting for Wu Yuer to leave with them.
That was not surprising.
However, what surprised Fang Zhengzhi was that Nangong Tian did not leave either. Apart from him, none of the Sages of the Nangong Nobles left.
Therefore, Nangong Mu, who was lying on the ground, could not be carried away.
Fang Zhengzhi suddenly laughed out loud.
He really did not expect Nangong Tian, who was willing to kill his own son for the sake of his own goals, to not leave at this moment.
Was it because of Nangong Hao?
Or perhaps, Nangong Tian still did not give up?
If it was the latter, Fang Zhengzhi really admired Nangong Tian's perseverance. He did not give up even when there was no hope at all.
…
Fang Zhengzhi took a deep breath and placed the mouth of the wine flask close to his mouth. The mellow and spicy Apricot Blossom Spring flowed into his mouth.
"Gulp …" Fang Zhengzhi took a huge gulp. Instantly, he felt a faint burning sensation flowing out from his stomach.
This Apricot Blossom Spring was different from the fruit wine that he brewed when he was young. It was much stronger and was usually used by the villagers who went hunting in the mountains to relieve the cold.
However, he felt extremely comfortable after taking a sip.
"It's so boring to drink alone." Yun Qingwu stretched out her right hand as she said that. Her eyes were as calm as water.
"That's true." Fang Zhengzhi nodded and took another sip. Then, he closed the lid of the wine flask and tossed it to Yun Qingwu. "What do you plan to do with Nangong Hao after letting Mu Qingfeng go?"
"Do you want to save him?" Yun Qingwu took the wine flask with one hand and opened the lid with the other. She drank a mouthful of wine in front of the shocked Monster Kings.
This scene caused the Monster Kings to be in disbelief. That was because in their impression, Yun Qingwu had always been very particular about etiquette.
When had he ever drunk wine with someone else? Moreover, the mouth of the wine bottle was facing the mouth of the wine bottle?
"Since I am going to die soon and the Gate of God of the Realm of Monsters and Demons has opened, under such circumstances, if I save Nangong Hao, there might be a chance for humankind," said Fang Zhengzhi casually.
"Hmm, that makes sense." After saying that, Yun Qingwu tossed the wine flask to Fang Zhengzhi. "But why should I leave more hope for humankind?"
"So Yun Qingwu has times when she is afraid too?" Fang Zhengzhi took the wine flask and took another sip before tossing it back to Yun Qingwu.
"Do you think this kind of provocation will work on me?"
"I don't know, I'll just use it first."
"Before you die, do you … have any last wishes?"
"I have yet to consummate my marriage."
"Hmm, that suits your personality. However, I did not say that I would help you fulfill your wish. Therefore, you can just think about it."
"Yun Qingwu is indeed Yun Qingwu." Fang Zhengzhi nodded and shook the wine bottle in his hand. When he realized that there was no more wine in it, he smiled bitterly and said, "I've finished the wine and those who wanted to leave should have already left. Then, let's begin."
"Wait a minute," said Yun Qingwu again.
"You changed your mind, you don't want me to die?"
"Your confidence seems more like shamelessness. Let me ask you one last time, do you really want to save Nangong Hao?" Yun Qingwu bit her lips as she spoke.
"I'm just saying. If I had a choice, I'd rather save myself." Fang Zhengzhi grinned brightly.
"Haha." Yun Qingwu smiled. It was as if a snow-white lotus had suddenly bloomed. Under the illumination of the sun, it gave off an ethereal aura. "Alright, I will fulfill your last wish and spare Nangong Hao's life for now. At the same time, I can find some fun for myself in the days to come."
As Yun Qingwu spoke, a faint radiance flashed past her eyes, as though a shooting star had flashed past her eyes.
As the shooting star streaked past …
Nangong Hao, who had been standing not too far away, suddenly sank down like a boulder that had lost its center of gravity, falling straight down.
"Indeed, the 'Enchantment, Soul Snatching Spell' was cast by you." Fang Zhengzhi looked at the falling Nangong Hao and confirmed his guess.
"Hmm, you guessed correctly. However, I think that you … should pay more attention to your back." Yun Qingwu nodded her head lightly.
Fang Zhengzhi did not hear the second half of Yun Qingwu's sentence. That was because, before Yun Qingwu finished her sentence, he had already felt a chill at the back of his neck.
