…
The moon was like a mirror and the shadow was like a hook.
The Southern Region was covered in dense forests. The six main settlements and the Sagely Mountain City were in the position of the seven stars of the Big Dipper.
However, it was a pity that …
The Thunderous Lion Settlement was the only city left in the Southern Region. The other five main settlements and the Sagely Mountain City had fallen into the hands of the Demon Race.
The Nan Ling Settlement was one of them. Furthermore, the Nan Ling Settlement was the tribe closest to the Demon Race's territory. It was surrounded by cliffs on one side and mountains on the other.
This was a natural stronghold of the tiger's mouth.
It was this stronghold that had defended the Southern Region against countless invasions of the Demon Race. It protected the Southern Region and the Great Xia Dynasty from being invaded by the Demon Race.
At this moment, two miles away from the Nan Ling Settlement, there was a small cave hidden in the mountains. The branches of an ancient tree blocked the entrance of the cave. At the same time, it also blocked the weak light from the fire in the cave. It was impossible for anyone to discover it.
A bonfire was burning in the cave. On top of the bonfire, there was a wooden rack with a golden striped panther skewered on it.
A beast like the golden striped panther was rarely seen in the Southern Region. This was because it was good at hiding. Furthermore, it was extremely fast. It could be said to be at the top of the food chain. Unfortunately, there were a few intruders in its nest today.
Then, as expected, it was punched to death on the ground. After being washed and peeled, it became a delectable food that was being roasted on the fire rack.
"Thump!" At this moment, a soft sound could be heard from the entrance of the cave. Then, a flying beast dashed into the cave.
When the black shadow, who was rotating the wooden frame in front of the bonfire, saw the flying beast flying in, he gently lifted one of his arms, and the flying beast landed on his arm.
A letter tied to the beast's claw was removed. Then, the black figure put down the fire rack in his hand and shot a meaningful glance at the three Southern Region Chieftains who were dressed in animal skins.
When the three Settlement Chiefs saw this, they immediately took the fire rack and carefully flipped through it. At the same time, they subconsciously looked at the opened letter in the black figure's hands.
However, the black figure clearly had no intention of sharing the contents of the letter with the three Southern Region Settlement Chiefs. After reading the letter, he casually tossed it into the bonfire.
There was a crackling sound in the raging fire, and the letter turned into ashes.
"Senior, did you receive any news? Is it about the Southern Region? How was the Thunderous Lion Settlement now? Has it been occupied by the Devil Race? What about the Southern Region soldiers? What happened to them? " The three Settlement Chiefs looked at Shan Yu, who was sitting at the side, and finally asked the black figure.
In the light of the fire, the black figure's face was still covered with a black cloth. There was a large "God" character on it, which was extremely eye-catching. It was impossible for it not to attract attention.
The shadowy figure didn't respond to the three Tribal Chiefs. Instead, he waved his hand at them and took over the fire rack and turned it around.
The three Settlement Chiefs clenched their teeth. They had asked similar questions countless times in the past few days. However, the person who called himself Sagely Battle God Meng Tian had never answered their questions.
"Senior, since you have the ability to take down Lin Ji, you naturally have the ability to help us take back the Southern Region. For the lives of the Southern Region, please …"
"I am a little sleepy. Are the three of you full? If you are, go and guard outside the cave. " The black figure waved his hand and interrupted the three Southern Region Settlement Chiefs. Then, he let out a yawn and found a spot to lie down on the ground.
"This …" The three Settlement Chiefs looked at each other again and sighed. They looked at Shan Yu, who had been silent all this while, for her opinion.
When Shan Yu saw the gazes of the three Settlement Chiefs, she nodded her head slightly. Then, she took out her dagger and sliced a piece of meat from the fire rack. She carefully placed it in front of the black figure.
When the three Settlement Chiefs saw this, they quickly stood up and walked out of the cave together to focus on guarding the cave.
"The weather is cold." After the black figure saw the three Southern Region Settlement Chiefs walk out, he stretched his body and picked up a piece of meat with one hand, putting it into his mouth and chewing.
"Shan Yu took some time to make a coat out of animal skin. If you don't mind …"
"Is the Queen of the Southern Region trying to please me?" The black figure interrupted what Shan Yu was about to say. Then, he slowly sat up and looked at Shan Yu, who was wearing a black animal skin and blushing under the light of the fire with his sparkling eyes.
"Senior, you saved our lives. What I did is nothing compared to what you have done for me. You don't have to take it to heart. Actually, even if you don't care about what happened in the Southern Region, I have nothing to say." Shan Yu shook her head.
"Do you know why I brought all of you here?"
"I don't know."
"Haha, you don't want to ask?"
"Our lives were saved by you. How would we dare to say anything about where you are bringing us?"
"Speaking of which, I owe you a lot, don't I?"
"I have no way to repay you for saving my life!"
"No way to repay you? That can't be right. I have always read in books that you should repay someone who saved your life with your body, right? You said that you have no way to repay me. Are you trying to act shamelessly? "A smile flashed in the black shadow's eyes.
"Senior, please behave yourself!" When Shan Yu heard this, her body trembled slightly. Then, she unconsciously clenched her teeth.
"Haha, Queen of the Southern Region, do you think that I am wrong?"
"Senior, you are an extremely prestigious person, how can I be compatible with you? It's not that what you said is wrong, it's just that … I already have someone in my heart. Other than this condition, I can promise you anything else, I hope that you can understand." Shan Yu half-knelt on the ground and bowed to the black figure.
"So you already have someone in your heart?" The black figure nodded his head lightly. Then, he looked at Shan Yu with interest. "Can you tell me, which handsome, suave, elegant, talented and good-looking super scholar do you have in your heart?"
After the black figure finished speaking, he casually picked up a cup of hot tea in front of him and took a sip while waiting for Shan Yu's reply.
When Shan Yu heard what the black figure said, she was slightly taken aback. She lifted her head and looked at the black figure who seemed to have some anticipation in front of her. Then, she looked at the black cloth that had the word "God" on the black figure's face. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded her head lightly and said, "Senior, you think too highly of me. Actually, the person in my heart is not handsome, nor is he a super scholar. He is just a shameless person."
"Pfft!" The black figure spat out the mouthful of tea that he had yet to drink. It sprayed all over Shan Yu's face.
The warm tea drenched Shan Yu's face. At the same time, Shan Yu couldn't react at all. She was dumbfounded.
What was even more shocking was that after the black figure spat out the tea, he jumped up and placed his hands on his waist. He looked like he was going to fight for his life.
"Why isn't he handsome? Why isn't he a super scholar? He was the top student in the Law of Dao examinations in the Great Xia Dynasty, double roll roll …" At this point, the black figure suddenly shut his mouth. Then, he sat down again and unconsciously glanced at Shan Yu's face.
"Senior, do you know who I have in my heart?!" Shan Yu was shocked when she saw the black figure sit down.
"I don't know … Oh, I know." The black figure was about to shake his head but he quickly reacted.
"I didn't expect such an expert like you to know him. He … is indeed very powerful. However, Shan Yu did not have much luck, nor did she grasp the opportunity given to her by the heavens. Now, Shan Yu is getting further and further away from him. I wonder where he is now?" At the end of her sentence, Shan Yu's eyes were filled with tears.
This was an emotion that was almost impossible for the current Queen of the Southern Region to have. However, in this cave, facing the man who once stood at the peak of the world, Sagely Battle God Meng Tian, Shan Yu had completely let go of her status as the Queen of the Southern Region.
"Seriously? How can you cry? " The black figure looked at the tears in Shan Yu's eyes and subconsciously reached out to touch Shan Yu's face that was drenched with tea.
However, just as his hand was about to touch Shan Yu's face, Shan Yu suddenly reacted. Her eyes widened and she took a step back.
"Senior!"
"Cough cough …" The black figure coughed dryly and retracted his hand. Then, he looked at Lin Ji, who was tied up like a dumpling, and asked, "Do you want to say something? Unfortunately, I don't want you to speak. What can you do to me? "
"…" Shan Yu was speechless.
On the other hand, Lin Ji struggled with all her might. Her eyes were round and thick black scales rapidly appeared on her body. The sound of metal clanking against the black chains on her body could be heard.
"If you move again, I will knock you out!" The black figure waved his fist.
Lin Ji immediately stopped moving and a vicious look appeared in her eyes. However, she did not dare to move or struggle anymore.
…
As the night deepened, the bonfire in the cave was still flickering.
Shan Yu's gaze was fixed on the dancing flames. She seemed to be deep in thought, as if she was trying to recall something. After some time, she raised her gaze again and looked at the black figure who was lying on the ground. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something.
"Senior … Are you asleep?" After a long while, Shan Yu spoke softly.
"The Queen of the Southern Region has finally thought it through and is ready to sleep with me?" The black figure spoke softly with his back facing Shan Yu.
"Cough …" Shan Yu's body trembled and her face turned slightly red. However, she clenched her teeth and continued, "I have something that I don't understand and would like to seek your advice."
"Speak."
"We are now outside of the Nan Ling Settlement. In other words, we will be in the territory of the Demon Race if we take another step forward. Are you really going to the Blood Shadow City?"
"Why not?" The black figure asked.
"I am just a little worried. After all, you are alone and according to what I know, there are other Godly State experts in the Blood Shadow City. Even if you can fight against a Godly State expert alone, with the help of other Demon Race experts, what you are going to do is still …"
"You are trying to say that I am going to die, right?"
"I don't dare to, I am just …" Shan Yu bit her lips again and wanted to say something. However, she did not finish her sentence.
The black figure did not speak again.
However, an image appeared in front of him. Hundreds of villagers were beaten to the ground by the Demon soldiers and their blood stained the ground.
A five-year-old child stood in front of Qin Xuelian and Fang Houde to protect them.
There were also two corpses …
Village Chief Zhang Yangping and the Dean of the College, Mr Mo Cheng.
One of them was an ordinary villager and the other was a teacher. They should not have been involved in the cruel war but they died at the beginning of the war.
Other than that, there were 23 members of the Northern Mountain Village's hunting squad on the Cang Ling Mountain outside the Northern Mountain Village. They had originally gone up the mountain to hunt as usual, but they had accidentally bumped into the Demon soldiers charging out from the foot of the mountain and were brutally killed on the mountain.
Twenty-five lives!
Twenty-five bloody lives!
"Crack!" The black figure clenched his fists and a blood-red radiance flashed across his eyes. It was as though there was blood flowing in his eyes.
Sagely Battle God Meng Tian was obviously Fang Zhengzhi.
However, he could not tell Shan Yu about this as he knew that Yun Qingwu had sent five Demon Vice Domain Chiefs to the Northern Mountain Village from the letter he had just received.
Although the Northern Mountain Village had Qing Yi who had broken through the state of swordsmanship and was as powerful as a Sage with the Traceless Sword.
However, he still couldn't let Fang Zhengzhi's name appear in the Southern Region. Even though he knew that Shan Yu wouldn't spread the news, it didn't mean that the three Settlement Chiefs of the Southern Region wouldn't. If Shan Yu knew about this, the three Settlement Chiefs would definitely notice something amiss when Shan Yu interacted with him.
Therefore, the safest way was to hide it.
The reason was simple. He could not afford to lose this bet!
However, there was one thing that he had to do, and he didn't want to wait. He couldn't wait for two years, and he couldn't afford to wait for that long.
Twenty-five lives in the Northern Mountain Village …
Someone had to pay for it!
