Chapter 793: Ready to Do it?

“You…” Lin Mubai wanted to say something, but he didn’t finish his sentence in the end.

There was nothing but silence.

The disciples of Ling Yun Tower kept quiet, but their expressions conveyed their thoughts. Just as Qian Ye had said, they were at Ling Yun Tower, the best amongst the five sects of the Holy Region. No matter how strong Fang Zhengzhi was, he had to follow their rules.

“Shameless fellow, you… You should go. We will handle this by ourselves…” Ping Yang figured out the circumstances. Her body was trembling as her eyes lit up. She seemed to be making a tough decision.

However, just as she was about to continue, she met Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes. She saw his determination, the type of heartfelt determination.

Fang Zhengzhi’s determination seemed to have calmed her wavering heart, like a harbour to a boat.

It felt tranquil, calm, and safe.

At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi turned around and walked towards Ping Yang. He wasn’t walking too quickly, but he still ended up in front of her.

“What do you want to do… do…” Ping Yang started running out of breath, her chest going up and down as Fang Zhengzhi walked closer towards her.

“Do?” Fang Zhengzhi gave her a peculiar look and glanced around her body, before finally settling his gaze on her chest. He then shook his head and said, “They surely have grown bigger, but this doesn’t seem like the right time.”

“Doesn’t seem like the right time? Grown… bigger?” Ping Yang didn’t understand what he was saying. However, when she realised that Fang Zhengzhi was staring at her chest, she quickly reacted, “Shameless bastard, what are you talking about? I’m a princess… How could I…”

“That’s the Ping Yang I know. Ok, you should protect the emperor. I will handle everything!”

Fang Zhengzhi smiled and turned towards Qian Ye, shielding Ping Yang and Lin Mubai with his body, and said, “Fine, I shall reluctantly agree to take the test!”

“What?”

“Did he really just say that?”

The disciples of Ling Yun Tower stared at each other, clearly stunned by Fang Zhengzhi’s words. After all, he couldn’t possibly pass the test.

Ping Yang stared at the average-sized man standing before her with her eyes wide open. Somehow, she felt warm.

“That’s right, this shameless guy came to protect me because he is worried about what Qian Ye has said… Despite so, his expression is too shameless.” Ping Yang shook her head trying to get rid of these messy thoughts. However, she was completely unaware that she was no longer feeling sad and disappointed unlike before.

Fang Zhengzhi’s long blue robe danced in the wind, casting a light shadow under the golden light.

“Haha, let’s begin.” Qian Ye smiled faintly when she saw Fang Zhengzhi shielding Ping Yang and Lin Mubai with his body. She seemed to have expected Fang Zhengzhi’s decision.

“Sure, but I’d like to clarify something beforehand!” Fang Zhengzhi nodded, glanced over Cang Yue and the other disciples, before finally fixing his gaze on Qian Ye.

“Go ahead.” Qian Ye was calm as ever.

“I hope that you will honour your words and tell us everything about Yu Er if I pass the test. If you dare to break your promise…” Fang Zhengzhi stopped midsentence.

“What are you going to do if that happens?” Qian Ye was curious.

“Leader of Ling Yun Tower, you seemed to have forgotten about something. I have yet to join any of the five sects since I entered the Holy Region. I’m just an acquaintance even to Shadow Sect. Therefore, the biggest difference between the people of the five sects and I, is that I am a free man!”

“A free man?”

“Yup, a free man that is completely unrestricted. This means that I can do whatever I want, and no one could stop me!”

“And?” Qian Ye frowned.

“Ling Yun Tower might be an impregnable and forbidden fortress to the rest, but it’s just a normal place to me. I could come and go whenever I want to. Of course, I could even kill anyone if I wanted to. I can kill two disciples today, three disciples tomorrow…”

“Don’t you dare to do that!” Qian Ye finally lost her cool, because she understood what Fang Zhengzhi was trying to say.

“You definitely know if I’d dare to do that! All I am saying is, I can go back on my words without a single worry, but you… Can’t do that! That’s because you are the leader of Ling Yun Tower, and unless you want your sect to never see another peaceful day, you have to keep your promise!”

As he said that, Traceless Sword turned into a purple and demonic sword radiance and attacked the disciples of Ling Yun Tower.

No one saw that coming.

Fang Zhengzhi’s attack came from nowhere, so neither Qian Ye nor the disciples of Ling Yun Tower managed to react in time.

Boom!

A few disciples were injured and sent flying, but they were still overwhelmed with disbelief.

No one had expected Fang Zhengzhi to attack them at this moment, rather, no one thought that he would dare to do it.

However, Fang Zhengzhi did it. He did it without any hesitation, as if he was sipping tea or picking up a rock.

He was composed yet unrestrained!

“Pftt!” The disciples threw up a mouthful of blood when they fell to the ground, badly injured by Fang Zhengzhi’s attack.

Everyone was mortified by what they just saw, including Cang Yue, Ping Yang, and Lin Mubai.

“How dare you!”

“Fang Zhengzhi, you are courting death!”

Almost 200 swords were pointed towards Fang Zhengzhi at this moment.

The disciples of Ling Yun Tower were shocked to their core, because they couldn’t believe what they saw. However, they still raised their swords at the first moment.

“Courting death? Since I first stepped into Ling Yun Tower, you people have been saying that nonstop. Nevertheless, I am still alive and standing here, am I right?” Fang Zhengzhi glimpsed at the furious disciples around him and replied carefreely.

“…”

“You…”

Ling Yun Tower’s disciples wanted to attack Fang Zhengzhi, but in reality, they knew that he was right.

Instead of quarrelling with the disciples, Fang Zhengzhi turned towards Qian Ye. His expression was surprisingly calm.

He had to take a bet!

He was betting that Qian Ye was wary of him, because that was the only way he could take control of the situation, instead of falling victim to Qian Ye’s plan.

“Didn’t you say that I wouldn’t dare to do this? What can you do about it now that I have already done it? Are you really sure that the incomplete Ling Yun Realm can trap me? If it cannot trap me, are you ready to take the heat of my revenge? I didn’t kill anyone this time, but I can’t say that about my next move!” Fang Zhengzhi fixed his gaze on Qian Ye’s face, his expression full of unrivalled arrogance.

“Are you threatening me?” Qian Ye’s expression finally turned cold.

“I’m not. At least, you have the choice to either keep or break your promise.” Fang Zhengzhi’s lips curved into a smile.

Qian Ye squinted her eyes and fell into a silence. She didn’t say a word for a long while.

No one knew what she was thinking.

There was nothing but silence.

As the leader of the mighty Ling Yun Tower, the best of the fives sects in the Holy Region, she had unexpectedly chosen to keep quiet at this moment.

The atmosphere was tensing up.

The disciples of Ling Yun Tower gripped their swords tightly. As one of the five sects in the Holy Region, they were proud and arrogant. Nevertheless, they were being threatened by a single individual at this moment, even if they weren’t willing to admit it.

However, that wouldn’t change the fact that they were being threatened. Moreover, they were threatened by an 18 years old boy who had just entered the Holy Region merely a few months ago.

After god knows how long, Qian Ye finally opened her eyes again. Her eyes were filled with a golden radiance, as if she was bathing in the holy light.

“Since you’ve agreed to abide by my rules, I’d definitely keep my promise. I’ll tell you about Yu Er once you pass the test, but if you fail the test… you’d have to surrender the Penta-coloured Wonder Flowers. Otherwise, only one of us will live after today!”

As soon as she said that, almost a hundred golden rays fell from the sky. They tore the space apart like a hot knife through butter.

Crack!

A bunch of cracks appeared in the air. As the golden rays landed on the ground, an enormous image appeared gradually. It was identical to the Ling Yun Tower, consisting of nine stories of matching colours.

A violent wind blew up Qian Ye’s golden dress. She unleashed a terrifying aura that was no weaker than that of Tian Xing and Mu Qingfeng.

“Leader, are you so eager to die?” Fang Zhengzhi took a step forward and pointed his Traceless Sword towards her. Four dazzling beams of light burst out of his body in the next moment. They were sky-blue, jade-green, blood-red, and hellish-black.

The four coloured lights bloomed in the air. Combined with the purple radiance on the Traceless Sword, it was a creepy and chilling sight to behold.

All the disciples of Ling Yun Tower were overwhelmed.

Both Qian Ye and Fang Zhengzhi’s auras were too overpowering, especially Fang Zhengzhi’s murderous intent, which was so frighteningly intense. It felt like he was surrounded by invisible claws.

“Interesting, this is getting more and more interesting. Hahaha… Fang Zhengzhi, let’s begin!” The golden light disappeared as Qian Ye moved her finger. The wind faded, restoring the peace and tranquillity again.

“Alright, let’s begin!” Fang Zhengzhi nodded and retracted the four coloured lights and his murderous intent. Everything went back to normal in an instant. The disciples around them let out a sigh of relief, as if a huge weight on their shoulders had disappeared.

However, they didn’t notice that they were sweating already.

Only now did they understand why Qian Ye had not fought Fang Zhengzhi yet, and why Fang Zhengzhi was still alive despite breaking into Ling Yun Tower.

Although factors like the Penta-coloured Wonder Flowers were to be considered, the key reason was his strength!

He was powerful enough that Qian Ye had to be wary of him!

Mastering four out of the Six Rebirth Dao Techniques was something that no one had ever achieved in the Holy Region for thousands of years. More importantly, Fang Zhengzhi was too unpredictable and mysterious.

In that case, even the leader of Ling Yun Tower had to be wary of him. After all, no one knew if the Ling Yun Realm could really trap him!

Furthermore, Fang Zhengzhi was at Nine Pinnacles Mountain before he came here!

To put it bluntly, Fang Zhengzhi shouldn’t have appeared at Ling Yun Tower. In other words, he should have died a long time ago, when he was brought to Nine Pinnacles Mountain after he attacked Yin Yang Hall.

However, Fang Zhengzhi was still alive.

In addition, he somehow broke through to the Sage State and showed up at Ling Yun Tower, and then continued to defeat Cang Yue and destroy the Five Elements Formation using unimaginable methods.

What happened in Nine Pinnacles Mountain? How did Fang Zhengzhi get so much stronger and entered the Sage State? Why was he at Ling Yun Tower?

How strong was he currently? Did he have any special hidden cards left? No one knew the answer to all these questions…
