After witnessing the Space-splitting Demon God being killed, all the Monster Kings and Elders of the Demon Race's first thought was to kill Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan while they were injured.
However, after seeing Fang Zhengzhi's Traceless Sword light up again, their thoughts changed completely. Be it the Monster Kings, Elders of the Demon Race, or even Monster Emperor Baizhi, they all looked solemn at this moment.
Fang Zhengzhi looked solemn too.
That was because he was the only one who knew his current condition. He was very tired, not just tired, but his entire body was emptied.
There was an ancient saying: "Women are like wolves at 30 years old and tigers at 40 years old."
Fang Zhengzhi did not know if Chi Guyan, who was only 17 years old, was considered a wolf or a tiger. However, he was sure that Chi Guyan's thirst was not something that an ordinary person could withstand.
Yes, he was emptied.
When Chi Guyan stabbed at the Space-splitting Demon God, Fang Zhengzhi was the man standing behind Chi Guyan. However, it was proven that it was not easy to be the man behind Chi Guyan.
At the instant when Monster Emperor Baizhi's fox tail hit Chi Guyan, Fang Zhengzhi had already hugged Chi Guyan tightly from the back.
At that moment, Fang Zhengzhi only had one thought.
Protect!
Protect Chi Guyan!
As a result, he channeled his Origin Energy into Chi Guyan's body without holding back at all as he held her in his arms.
However, he did not expect such a crazy infusion of Origin Energy to cause Chi Guyan's Enlightenment State to transform from the Rebirth State to the Sagely State.
What was more exaggerated was that at the instant when Chi Guyan entered the Sagely State, a terrifying suction force surged into Fang Zhengzhi's Small Dimension.
Fang Zhengzhi was stunned.
However, he regained his senses very quickly.
Chi Guyan had forcefully broken through!
To put it bluntly, a normal breakthrough would occur when one possessed a massive amount of Origin Energy. Then, he would use the massive amount of Origin Energy to reconstruct and transform his body.
However, Chi Guyan's current state was not like that.
It could be said that Chi Guyan forcefully broke through at this moment without any Origin Energy left in her body.
Without the support of the Origin Energy …
How could she reconstruct her body after entering the Rebirth State?!
This was a contradiction.
The result of this contradiction was that Chi Guyan's body turned into a gigantic black hole when she broke through to the Sage State. Under such circumstances, Chi Guyan would die if she didn't have the support of a huge amount of Origin Energy after her breakthrough.
After Fang Zhengzhi understood this, he naturally could not resist or let go. He could only allow the terrifying suction force to rampage around in his Small Dimension.
In the end, it was very exaggerated.
Fang Zhengzhi could clearly feel that the vast ocean in his pocket dimension had been sucked dry in an instant. He couldn't believe the speed at which it happened.
It was too fast!
If not for the fact that he had a terrifying amount of Origin Energy, he would have been sucked dry by Chi Guyan in an instant.
Then …
There was no then.
"Women are indeed terrifying!" Fang Zhengzhi sighed in his heart. However, he had to hold on because once Yun Qingwu found out about his current state, he, Chi Guyan, Wu Yuer and the rest would not be able to leave.
What should he do?
If his body had not been emptied, he would have killed Yun Qingwu or Monster Emperor Baizhi without hesitation. However, now that his body was on the verge of collapse …
The Empty City Stratagem was his only choice.
In order to put on an act in front of Yun Qingwu, what he had to do was not simple. He had to display his absolute power in order to make Yun Qingwu believe that his power still existed.
"Fang Zhengzhi, even if you kill me now, it won't do you any good," said Yun Qingwu after taking a look at the Traceless Sword in Fang Zhengzhi's hand.
"I don't think so." As Fang Zhengzhi said that, he took another step towards Yun Qingwu. There was no room for negotiation in his tone.
"You can't kill me!"
"But I can give it a try!"
"You don't have enough time, the ancient Demon God could descend at any time."
"At least, he hasn't descended yet, right?" After saying that, Fang Zhengzhi took a glance at the green and black Gates of God above his head. It was impossible for him to not be nervous at all. After all, if another Demon God descended, he would definitely die.
"Do you really want to do that?"
"Under such circumstances, there's no reason for me not to try."
"Half a year, I can guarantee that within half a year, the Monster Race and Demon Race will stay away from wherever you are." Yun Qingwu clenched her teeth and finally stated her condition.
"How can you guarantee?"
"As long as I am alive, I can guarantee!" said Yun Qingwu confidently.
Fang Zhengzhi did not speak immediately as he was thinking. Yun Qingwu's condition was very straightforward and realistic.
The Gates of God of the Realm of Monsters and Demons had already opened.
Therefore, the war between humankind and the Monster Race and Demon Race was inevitable. Even if he killed Yun Qingwu now, nothing would change.
It was a realistic problem. Yun Qingwu's condition was a piece of pure land. She wanted to give Fang Zhengzhi a piece of pure land where he could survive in this war.
"Three years!" Fang Zhengzhi finally spoke after a moment of silence.
"Impossible, one year at most." Yun Qingwu shook her head without hesitation. She knew Fang Zhengzhi's talent too well. No one could predict what would happen in three years' time.
Most importantly, she was giving him a piece of pure land, not a person. Therefore, even she did not dare to make such a huge bet.
"My condition is three years," continued Fang Zhengzhi.
"Two years, that's my bottom line. If you don't agree, you can attack now." Yun Qingwu took another step forward with a determined expression.
"Alright, two years it is." Fang Zhengzhi finally nodded after a moment of silence.
Then, he took a look at the two opened God's Gate in the sky. Without waiting any longer, he directly descended and came to Wu Yuer's side.
"Why are you negotiating with her?" Wu Yuer did not understand.
"Now is not the time to kill her." Fang Zhengzhi hugged Chi Guyan tightly with one hand and placed his other hand on Wu Yuer's arm. The Traceless Sword in his hand disappeared instantly.
"I don't understand …" Just as Wu Yuer was about to say something, she suddenly realized that the back of Fang Zhengzhi's hand was drenched in sweat.
Most importantly, at such a close distance, she could even feel Fang Zhengzhi's heavy breathing and the paleness of his face.
Wu Yuer's body trembled instantly. Without saying a word, she clenched her teeth and ran down the Heaven Zen Mountain.
Fang Zhengzhi's mouth twitched.
He naturally knew that Wu Yuer had already guessed his state and plan, and Wu Yuer's actions proved that, because Wu Yuer did not take Chi Guyan, who was in his arms.
As he felt relieved, Fang Zhengzhi's legs trembled and almost fell to the ground. However, he recovered quickly.
Meanwhile, Yun Qingwu's eyes lit up at this instant.
"Young Lord, are we really going to let them go?"
"Yes, Young Empress, if we let them go, there might be repercussions …"
"I have a feeling that Fang Zhengzhi does not have any energy left. If he did, he would definitely not give up so easily."
The Monster Kings and the elders of the demon race were unwilling to give up when they saw Fang Zhengzhi, Wu Yuer and the rest running down the Heaven Zen Mountain.
"Our focus now is the Gate of God of the Realm of Monsters and Demons, not Fang Zhengzhi." Yun Qingwu shook her head and clenched her fists as she looked at the disappearing figures. "Fang Zhengzhi … I look forward to fighting with you again in two years' time!"
"Boom!"
At this moment, a deafening sound of thunder was heard in the sky. Countless stars lit up and green and black radiance lit up the sky.
Then, two streaks of light descended from the sky.
Boom! A loud sound was heard.
Two gigantic black rocks landed on the top of the Tree of God. A desolate aura engulfed the world and the powerful pressure made the Monster Kings feel suffocated.
"He has descended!"
"The ancient Demon God has descended again!"
Kacha! A cracking sound interrupted the excited voices of the Demon Monarchs. Following that, two huge black boulders exploded.
Countless rocks flew in all directions and spots of radiance lit up.
Amidst the rocks and radiance, two figures gradually appeared. It was a man and a woman. The man was extremely cold and the woman was bewitching.
"Finally, he's back!" An excited and surprised voice was heard, shocking the Monster Kings. At the same time, they looked at the foot of the Heaven Zen Mountain again.
"Young Empress, Fang Zhengzhi hasn't gone far? We actually … "
"Hmm?" Yun Qingwu's gaze turned cold and looked at the Monster King who spoke. She did not look angry but gave off an authoritative aura. "You want me to break the promise?"
"I know my mistake!" The Monster King broke out in cold sweat and half-knelt on the ground.
After seeing this, Yun Qingwu retracted her gaze and looked at the bottom of the Heaven Zen Mountain again. Then, she turned and walked towards the man and woman …
…
One and a half months passed by quickly.
Everything that happened on the Heaven Zen Mountain naturally spread to the entire world within one and a half months, including all the important cities of the Four Great Empires.
The news of the arrival of the powerful ancient Demon God and ancient Monster God became more colorful as it spread from one to ten and ten to a hundred people.
In this way, the people who were still immersed in the changes in the world undoubtedly suffered an even stronger impact in their hearts. For a moment, everyone was in a state of panic.
Some said that the change of the world was the sign of a disaster, while others said that the Monster Race and Demon Race would take revenge and even kill all of the humans and make them their slaves.
The power of rumors was terrifying.
Even though the Four Great Empires were doing their best to suppress the negative comments, they still couldn't stop all of this. Because they were panicking as well.
After all, they saw the Gate of God of the Realm of Monsters and Demons open with their own eyes.
"Your Majesty, the order to deploy troops to protect the capital city has been passed down!"
"Hmm, have you sent the letter to the Holy Region?"
"I have sent it over, but the Holy Region …"
"Speak!"
"There is no reply from the Holy Region. According to what I know, the war in the Holy Region has already begun, the ancient Demon God and ancient Monster God are …"
"I understand, you may leave!"
"Yes!"
…
While the capital cities of the Four Great Empires were in chaos, some places that were far away from the important cities still maintained some simplicity and purity.
For example, the Northern Mountain Village at the foot of the Cang Ling Mountain.
In terms of terrain, the Northern Mountain Village was close to the Cang Ling Mountain and behind the Cang Ling Mountain was the territory of the Demon Race. In other words, the Northern Mountain Village was the border of the Great Xia Dynasty.
However, because of the natural forbidden land, the Cang Ling Mountain, this border region welcomed a long period of peace and harmony.
"Little Radish, this water bucket is so big, can you carry it alone?" A voice was heard at the entrance of the Northern Mountain Village. At the same time, a woman in plain clothes walked out of the village.
Not far away from the entrance of the village stood a five to six year old boy. He had a pair of big black eyes and looked extremely adorable.
However, the little boy's head was a little too big and a little too round, making him look like a radish.
Judging a book by its cover?
That seemed a little disrespectful. However, after hearing what the woman said, Little Radish did not mind at all. Instead, he smiled extremely happily.
That was because the name Little Radish was given to him by Fang Zhengzhi. To Little Radish, anything that was said to be good would definitely be very good.
After all, the name Fang Zhengzhi was the pride of the Northern Mountain Village.
"Daddy went up the mountain to hunt. Mommy is going to bring daddy home. Little radish has to make dinner for daddy and mommy." Little radish put down the bucket of water in his hand, and panted heavily a few times.
"Not bad, not bad, Little Radish will always be the most obedient child in the Northern Mountain Village. Come, let Auntie carry it for you." The woman smiled and prepared to carry the water bucket for Little Radish.
"No need, Brother Zhengzhi said that a man must be able to take hardships and cannot always rely on women!" Little Radish shook his head and protected the water bucket with an unwilling expression.
"Oh, did Zhengzhi teach you this?"
"Yes!"
"Hahaha … Your Brother Zhengzhi is right, a man must act like a man. However, you are still young now. You are not even six years old. When you grow up, Auntie will naturally not carry it for you."
"How is Little Radish young? Brother Zhengzhi was only seven years old when he went hunting in the mountains. When Little Radish grows up, I must be like Brother Zhengzhi and hunt in the mountains. "Little Radish was unconvinced.
"Hahaha, alright, alright, Auntie will not help you, carry it yourself …" The woman smiled again and walked towards the village.
"Auntie, Auntie, look over there, someone is coming over?"
