Chapter 780: Come Down and Serve Tea

“Eh… yes, with you protecting Ping Yang, I’m… I’m relieved,” said Lin Mubai as he nodded his head subconsciously. He looked at Fang Zhengzhi and then at Ping Yang with a very complicated expression on his face.

Too fast!

The scene just now took place too quickly and he could not even react to it. How did Fang Zhengzhi dodge the woman’s dagger? How did he appear next to her? He did see all these clearly and he could not even see some of it.

Grown. Truly grown. Ping Yang was not the only one. Fang Zhengzhi had grown too. Furthermore, his growth was even more terrifying.

Lin Mubai remembered that a few months ago, Fang Zhengzhi was still like his subject. At that time, they fought the Holy Barbarian Empire and King Xieluo together.

Right now…

In just a few months, he discovered that Fang Zhengzhi, who now stood before him, was someone he had to look up to.

“Hmph, I don’t need your protection!” After her initial shock, Ping Yang recovered too. She pouted and her face blushed.

However, she could not help but look at the woman in white who had fainted. An incredulous look crossed her face and her chest rose and fell.

Fang Zhengzhi naturally did not mind Ping Yang’s words.

In fact, this made him like her more. This was her true personality. She was slightly headstrong and brash. She would also never admit her weakness.

“Then, I shall shout,” said Fang Zhengzhi.

“Shout? What do you want to shout?” Ping Yang did not understand.

Lin Mubai was suspicious too. However, he did not open his mouth to ask. He regained his regal calm and naturally, this meant that Lin Mubai trusted Fang Zhengzhi completely.

“Since we’re guests, even if I knocked one of their disciples, even if injured another, and even if I brought the slave here, I’m still a guest. The Ling Yun Tower must treat its guest properly, am I right? Hence, may I request Tower Master Cang Yue of the Ling Yun Tower to come out and personally serve me tea!”

Fang Zhengzhi’s voice resonated up the Ling Yun Tower. When Lin Mubai heard this, he smiled wryly.

“Serve tea!”

Even though Lin Mubai knew how shameless Fang Zhengzhi was, he still could not understand its extent. After all, no normal person would say something like this.

Knocking one Ling Yun Tower disciple out? Injuring another? Taking a slave…

He admitted to all his wrongdoings.

In any other sect, these were capital crimes, right?

However, from Fang Zhengzhi’s mouth, none of these sounded like capital crimes but instead, he seemed to be in the right. It was as if he had been maligned and now, he was asking Cang Yue to serve him tea.

Lin Mubai could not imagine how shameless could someone be to say something like this. Furthermore, he was able to say it in such a matter-of-fact manner.

…

Holy Region. Heaven Dao Pavilion. Underneath the Sword Peak.

“Boom!” A huge sound and a snowy-white figure rushed out from the ruined black palace underneath the sword peak.

“Pavilion Leader!”

“Master!”

When the two elders guarding the black palace and the dozens of disciples saw the person who came out, they were all anxious.

After all…

Mu Qingfeng had spent too long inside this black palace. From start to finish, he had spent almost two entire months.

“Crack!” The figure knocked into a huge tree and verdant branches rained down, turning the ground green.

Mu Qingfeng was half-kneeling on the ground and his face was pale.

“Pavilion Leader, what happened?” One of the elders swiftly rushed to Mu Qingfeng’s side. Then, he tried to lift him up.

“It’s not a ruin…” Mu Qingfeng did not reply to the elder. Instead, his pale face stared intently at the black palace which was not too far away.

“Not a ruin?!” The elder’s expression changed.

Even though Mu Qingfeng did not reply him directly, this statement shocked him more.

Three months ago, the ruined black palace appeared underneath the Heaven Dao Pavilion.

Until now…

The entire world underwent shocking changes. Ferocious beasts became fiercer. Odd scenes happened all over the Holy Region. These changes were too sudden.

In the eyes of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, these changes were linked to the black palace.

Right now, when Mu Qingfeng said that this was not a ruin, it undoubtedly made it even harder for a normal person to know its significance.

If this black rock palace was not a ruin, what was it?

This thought plagued the elder’s mind.

While Mu Qingfeng did not give an immediate expression, he continued to stare intently at the black palace. He even forgot to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Only then did the elder reacted. Mu Qingfeng walked out, so where was Chi Guyan? Why did she not walk out of the black palace?

After all, two months ago, the two of them entered it together.

“Kaboom!” Just when a sense of unease plagued the elder’s heart, another huge explosion rang out from within the black pavilion.

Then, a pink figure flew out. Unlike Mu Qingfeng, the pink figure was covered with a five-colored light.

“Guyan!”

“Senior Chi Guyan is out!”

“That’s great!”

A look of calm crossed Mu Qingfeng’s face. The other disciples guarding it were all delighted.

“Pavilion Leader, what exactly?” The elder tried to probe.

“Convey my orders immediately and tell the other four sects that we need to have an emergency meeting. If this is real, I’m afraid we’re in for a big trouble!” Mu Qingfeng waved his hand, ignoring the blood seeping out the corner of his mouth. However, his tone was determined.

“Alright, I’ll do it immediately!” The elder asked no more question. He turned and summoned a huge beast as he flew away from the Heaven Dao Pavilion.

At this moment, Chi Guyan appeared in front of Mu Qingfeng. Her starry eyes stared intently at his pale face.

Unlike Mu Qingfeng, Chi Guyan’s face was not pale. In contrast, it shone with light, which was five-colored. Furthermore, this light did not persist for long and as Chi Guyan approached Mu Qingfeng, the light faded.

“Master… why did you do that?”

“Guyan! The hope of the Holy Region is not me but you. Hence, don’t think so much. Just remember that everything I do for you is for the Heaven Dao Pavilion, the Holy Region, and all creations! That’s enough!” Mu Qingfeng said with a wave of his hand.

“But…” Chi Guyan wanted to say something.

“Guyan, there’s something I have to ask you,” interrupted Mu Qingfeng.

“Please ask, master!”

“Answer me honestly. Do you think I have made an error in dealing with him?” When Mu Qingfeng said this, a look of anticipation crossed his face as if he was searching for an answer.

“From master’s perspective, no. If I were master, I would do the same,” said Chi Guyan as she shook her head.

“What if you were not me?” Mu Qingfeng asked.

“The ancients said, ‘Those who are not in the situation can see it the clearest’. When master asked this question, master already knew the answer to it,” said Chi Guyan after she thought about it for a bit.

“Hurhur… that’s right. You’re right, I had known the answer for a long time already. However, I don’t want to admit it,” said Mu Qingfeng with a smile. Then, he looked at the sky and said, “Guyan, we need to discuss with the other four sects our strategy. Go and get ready!”

“Yes!” Chi Guyan nodded her head and she too looked into the sky. It may be coincidental, but she was looking right at the Nine Pinnacles Mountain.

…

Holy Region, Ling Yun Tower.

After Fang Zhengzhi’s shout, three women in white flew out from the Ling Yun Tower along with dozens of disciples in green.

In fact, Fang Zhengzhi had expected this.

After all, he created such a huge commotion when he knocked the woman in white out. The Ling Yun Tower was not full of deaf people and now, they were out to get him.

As to why he shouted like this…

One of the reasons was that his mouth was itchy. More importantly, he did not want to fight up floor by floor.

What a waste of time!

Hence, he decided to use mockery to make fun of them.

However, this did not create the desired effect. After the three of them and the ten other disciples in green came out, the Ling Yun Tower was silent.

It was as if the rest had not heard him.

What did this mean?

Fang Zhengzhi did not understand. If this technique to start a fight was useless, could it mean that the Tower Master of the Ling Yun Tower did not respect him?

Even so, that was impossible. Even if she did not respect him, Cang Yue should appear, right?

After all, half a year ago, Cang Yue personally witnessed him making a promise to her. She should know the reason he was here and with Cang Yue’s personality, there was no way she would avoid this.

Could it be that…

She had not woken up?

Fang Zhengzhi found this reason slightly incredulous. However, other than this, there was no other reason. He did not need to confirm it. It was just a guess.

Then, because of this, he decided to shout once more.

“Cang Yue, didn’t you say that I’m dead? Shouldn’t you come out to look at me, a dead man? Or were you talking nonsense half a year ago? In other words, you just want to be a cowardly turtle!” Fang Zhengzhi shouted. This time, he targeted his insult at Cang Yue.

“How dare you. How dare you call her by her name?” When the three women in white heard that, they were visibly enraged.

Of course, they were more enraged by the fact that he knocked one of them out. They all had expressions of shock on their faces.

Fang Zhengzhi did not look at them for more than a single glance. He had already seen a silvery-white light flashed on top of the Ling Yun Tower when he shouted.

However…

The light did not flash for long.

It flashed and then disappeared almost instantly. However, a smile crept across Fang Zhengzhi’s face.

At this moment, a voice rang out from the Ling Yun Tower.

“Since you’re a guest, we should treat you like one. However, if you want our Tower Master to serve you personally, you must earn this right. Green Jade, explain to our guest!”

“Yes!” When one of the three women in white heard her words, she replied respectfully with a bow. Then, she turned to look at Fang Zhengzhi and said, “According to the rules of our Ling Yun Tower, there are two ways to become an honored guest!”

“What are they?” Fang Zhengzhi asked.

“Firstly, you must be invited by the Ling Yun Tower with a special invitation… this doesn’t apply to you and hence, I don’t need to explain it. As for the second one, since you invited yourself, I can provide explanations as to how this will work. The requirement is simple. You have to ascend the tower yourself and your treatment will depend on the number of floors you can climb!”

“Hence, how many should I climb?”

“According to your request just now, since you asked for Tower Master to serve you personally, you must reach the highest level, the ninth level. Only then will you earn this right!”

“So, I need to fight my way up to the ninth level?” Fang Zhengzhi seemed to have understood.

“You can understand it as such,” replied Green Jade with a nod.

“What if I don’t want to follow your rules?”

“That’s… probably not to you to decide, right?” A cold smile crept across Green Jade’s face.

“Is that so?” When Fang Zhengzhi heard this, he looked at the huge tower and a smile crossed his face too. “I don’t think so. After all, the rules are dead while I’m alive.”
