Chapter 749: A Supremely Powerful Killing Intent, Avenging Yan Xiu

Instantly, Fang Zhengzhi sensed the woman’s expression change. This change of emotions came from the depths of her heart, even though it just lasted for a single second.

However, Fang Zhengzhi still discovered it.

Evidently…

All women in the world valued their purity.

For example, Yun Qingwu was a classic example. Both good cop and bad cop methods did not work on her. To get anything from her, one had to resort to this method.

The woman in front of him was the same. She did not value her life but she valued her purity greatly. However, if that was the case, she could not be Dao Hun’s concubine right?

This made him suspicious.

Fang Zhengzhi suspected the true identity of this woman. However, he did not really care. All he needed to do was to obtain information about Dao Hun from her. That would suffice.

“You just need to answer a few questions of mine and I promise I won’t hurt you. How about it?” As Fang Zhengzhi asked her, he continued to stuff pills into his mouth.

The pills were crispy and tasty!

In this pavilion, everything was lacking except tasty pills. Fang Zhengzhi had been on the road for the past few days and hence, he really wanted to eat something tasty. He knew that the Yin Yang Hall would not miss a few pills and hence, he decided to eat them like candies.

“If you agree, nod your head. However, if you dare to shout, I’ll kill you. Then, I’ll strip your corpse naked and hang it upside-down on the door!” Fang Zhengzhi said as he looked at the girl, who was gradually calming down.

She fell silent.

She looked around her and saw Yan Xiu lying on the bed. Then, she looked straight at Fang Zhengzhi and finally nodded her head lightly.

“Tell me, when is Dao Hun coming back?” When Fang Zhengzhi saw this, he reached out with his hand and removed the gag in her mouth as he asked.

“…” Her lips quivered and she wanted to say something. However, a look of suspicion crossed her eyes and then, she slowly lowered her head.

“Not going to say anything, eh? Then, I’ll kill you!” Fang Zhengzhi started to move.

“Before master left, he told me that he would be discussing important matters with Third Elder and Fourth Elder of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain. Hence, he won’t be back here for quite some time,” said the woman at last as Fang Zhengzhi reached out to grab her with his hands.

Her voice was clear and delightful to the ears. She sounded ethereal like a fairy. This simple sentence was enough to surprise Fang Zhengzhi deeply.

Fang Zhengzhi’s hands stopped in front of the girl as he quickly analyzed her words. Discussing important matters with Third and Fourth Elders of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain?

Was this real or fake?

She did not quaver as she spoke, so it had to be real. However, if that was true, why did she not say so earlier?

This was weird!

“Are you lying to me?” Fang Zhengzhi moved and he pointed his Traceless Sword at the woman’s throat. A demonic purple light swirled on top of the blade.

“Don’t kill me, I’m not lying…” The woman’s expression changed as she looked at Fang Zhengzhi’s Traceless Sword. She could not help but move backward in fear.

“What’s your name?”

“My name is… Xin Mu…” The girl’s voice turned soft. She seemed to be trembling.

“Xin Mu?” Fang Zhengzhi smiled slightly. The change in this woman’s performance was too quick.

Such an acting style…

She was evidently a novice.

Furthermore, the more the woman pretended, the more he suspected her identity. “Do you really expect me to believe that you’re an ordinary female servant? If I’m right, I guess that Xin Mu is not your real name. This pavilion is not where Dao Hun lives. Am I right?”

As the Fang Zhengzhi said that, he stared intently at the woman. When he finished his last sentence, the look of panic in her eyes had disappeared.

This change was similar to a stormy sea turning calm instantly. Odd and scary.

Then, the woman straightened her body and looked at Fang Zhengzhi with a disrespectful smile and said, “You’re right. Master doesn’t live here. As for my name, I don’t think it’s important to you. Am I right, Fang Zhengzhi?”

The moment she said that, she moved her body forward as she placed her throat on the blade of Fang Zhengzhi’s Traceless Sword.

This made his hand withdraw as he pulled his Traceless Sword back.

Did she have a death wish?

It was not that easy!

Fang Zhengzhi naturally did not want to kill her. If she did not want to give her name, he would naturally not ask her for it.

This was because she had already answered one of Fang Zhengzhi’s questions when she said ‘master’.

She was a disciple of the Yin Yang Hall!

Furthermore, she was no ordinary disciple. At the very least, if she could own such an independent living space, she should be one of the higher-ranking disciples or even an elder.

For a woman like this to fall into his hands…

To Fang Zhengzhi, she was undoubtedly an important bargaining chip. He had to make sure she did not kill herself.

“It’s not good for a woman to be too smart,” said Fang Zhengzhi as he toyed with her. Then, he continued to eat pills as if nothing had happened.

“I never expect you to actually come. Actually, everyone thought that you’re here for revenge. However… it’s evidently not true!” The woman did not mind Fang Zhengzhi eating the pills. She did not try to kill herself too. Instead, she straightened her body and sat on her knees.

“So why do you think I’m here?” Fang Zhengzhi asked.

“To save someone. Your true objective is to get master to save Yan Xiu!” The woman replied as she looked at Yan Xiu.

“Hurhur, why not you tell me directly what I can get from you?” Fang Zhengzhi did not deny it but he did not acknowledge it. Evidently, the woman in front of him was smart.

Hence, when talking to smart people, there was no need to go around in circles. He could be direct.

“I’m afraid that you will be disappointed. There’s nothing you can get. Furthermore, master won’t save Yan Xiu,” said the woman with a cold chuckle.

“So, you’re worthless to me? I can play with you for a few days and then kill you. Is that what you’re saying?” Fang Zhengzhi smiled too.

“Shameless!” The woman cursed. However, she fell silent. After a while, she lifted her head to look at Fang Zhengzhi and said, “I can tell you where master lives. As for the exact location of his room, and his resting hours, you have to find that out yourself.”

“How can I trust you?” Fang Zhengzhi countered.

“You don’t have a choice but to trust me. Yan Xiu doesn’t have much time left. To save him, you will need at least seven days’ worth of time to make the pills.”

“From the sound of it, I have three days to waste, right?” Fang Zhengzhi was surprised. This woman actually could tell how much time Yan Xiu had left. Taking into account the fact that he was in the Yin Yang Hall, and the place where the woman lived, it was a natural deduction.

“That’s right!” The woman nodded her head.

“So, can you stand three days’ worth of torture?”

“What do you mean?”

“I hear that after someone collapses mentally, they will become extremely weak and submissive. So, I’m wondering if I should torture you for three days before asking you any more questions. At that time, your attitude will be different, right?” Fang Zhengzhi smiled at her like a pervert.

“How dare you!” The woman’s expression changed visibly.

“Hurhur, do you think I won’t dare to do that?” Fang Zhengzhi shifted his body forward.

“You…” The woman was just about to say something but she stopped. Then, she gritted her teeth tightly and said, “What do you want from me? Be direct!”

“Tell me, how can I get Dao Hun to save Yan Xiu?”

“Impossible! It was a wrong choice from the very start for you to come to the Yin Yang Hall. No matter what you do, master will not save Yan Xiu. Furthermore, in your current state, you should make the most out of these few months and cultivate. Perhaps you will have a chance of becoming a Sage. At that time…”

“Yes, but what will become of Yan Xiu after I become a Sage?” Fang Zhengzhi interrupted.

The woman said nothing. She did not object to what he had said. Instead, she stared at Yan Xiu as if she was thinking of something.

“There is no perpetual enemy in the world, only perpetual interests. Am I right?” Fang Zhengzhi said as the woman kept silent.

“You’re right, but the precondition for that is trust. The Yin Yang Hall can’t trust you and you can’t trust the Yin Yang Hall. Hence, there’s no reason to work together.”

“Perhaps we may actually have a common ground, for example, what if Dao Hun has no choice but to save Yan Xiu?” Fang Zhengzhi nodded his head slightly and then shook it.

“Dream on, what kind of reason will that be?” said the woman disrespectfully.

“Exchanging your life for the life of Yan Xiu, how about that?”

“Naïve. Master will never agree. My life is not worth that much to the Yin Yang Hall!” said the woman with a cold chuckle.

“What about ten acres of your herb farm?”

“If you dare to destroy our herb farm, I’ll kill you!”

“Is that so? Too bad, I’ve already done it!”

“Shameless man. If you want to use my life to exchange for his, I won’t let you do it. Furthermore, even if you do it, Yan Xiu will still die!”

“Why?”

“Do you think that master will live up to his promise after the exchange? In other words, he may revive Yan Xiu, but won’t we from the Yin Yang Hall do something to him?”

“If you lot don’t keep your side of the bargain, I’ll massacre everyone in the Yin Yang Hall!” Fang Zhengzhi’s gaze turned cold and a powerful killing aura could be felt from his body.

“You must be able to do that first!” The woman was not scared at all.

Fang Zhengzhi clenched his fists. He knew what the woman said was true. Dao Hun could perfectly well pretend to save Yan Xiu and then kill him.

If that happened…

There was no point at all.

To get Dao Hun to save Yan Xiu, the former had to do it willingly. Like what the woman said, this was nearly impossible.

Bargaining chips, threats, exchanges…

All of these methods were useless.

Slowly, everything was going back to Square 1. When Fang Zhengzhi came, he took ten acres of land from the herb farm and a female disciple of the Yin Yang Hall whose rank was not low.

At first, he thought these all meant something to him, that he was moving forward in the right direction. However, looking at it now, these were all useless.

This was because the only way to save Yan Xiu was to make sure Dao Hun would do it willingly.

However, this was impossible.

Fang Zhengzhi hated how useless he was.

In fact, before he came to the Yin Yang Hall, he knew that this trip was in vain. However, he had to come. He could not watch as Yan Xiu died just like this.

“Mmm!”

Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes turned completely red. Rays of red light appeared underneath his feet, giving off a murderous, hellish aura.

The Dao of Asura!

This was the most offensive Dao of the Six Rebirth Daos. It was also the one which made Yan Xiu end up in his current state.

Fang Zhengzhi clenched his fists tightly. The five-colored chains on the ground trembled and balls of black fire burned on his body. This was the Hell Dao.

On his forehead, a cerulean-blue light flashed. Normally, this light was as clear as the sky. However, at this moment, it gave off a wintry aura.

At this moment, a murderous aura permeated the entire room, turning the room as cold as winter.

When she saw this scene, the woman’s eyes narrowed. She looked at the red rays of light circling Fang Zhengzhi, then at the black balls of fire, as well as the light flashing from his eyes and said, “You indeed mastered four of the Sixth Rebirth Daos. What a strong killing intent!”

“So, if you can’t save Yan Xiu, what will you do next?” The woman asked. In this icy-cold room, the calm of her voice was terrifying.

“Kill! Everyone who has hurt Yan Xiu, everyone who has taken part in the ambush underneath the Heaven Dao Pavilion, must die! The Yin Yang Hall, the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, they must all die for what they did to Yan Xiu!” Fang Zhengzhi looked at the woman. His eyes were crystal-clear. In his eyes, a light swirled.

This was the Rebirth Plate.

Four different lights shone on it.

Blue, green, red, and black!

Most importantly, as they swirled outside the Rebirth Plate, two extreme auras intersected with each other.

The Yin Yang Illustration!

This extremely peculiar scene appeared before the woman. It was very close to her, allowing her to see everything in his eyes.
