Chapter 925: Surprising Big Secret!

Buzz! A violent wave of air spread as the two gigantic black wings expanded completely. Following that, Fang Zhengzhi zoomed up into the sky with the Demon Lord.

This scene shocked the Demon soldiers watching from beneath. The powerful wave of air exerted a pressure that was as heavy as a mountain on their body.

After that, they witnessed a shocking scene.

Fang Zhengzhi raised his broken sword which was flowing with a silvery light as bright as the moon. Then, a beam of silver light struck.

Roar! The sound of the dragon was extremely loud.

It was a gigantic silver dragon with clear scales on its body. It was more robust than the dragon from the Demonic Hall and most importantly, there were two gigantic black wings on the back of this silver dragon.

Boom! The silver dragon landed.

It landed in the Blood Shadow City and dashed towards the gate at the speed of lightning, leaving behind a trace of silver light.

Then, the entire Blood Shadow City, including the stone houses quaked as if the city had sunk downwards by an inch.

Crack! An extremely deep crack appeared on the ground and it spread neatly towards the path of silver light and reached the gate of the Blood Shadow City in no time.

At the instant when the crack reached the gate of the Blood Shadow City, the gigantic gate that was made up of black stone split into half and collapsed.

“Meng Tian, you!!!” Emperor Yun took a deep breath as he looked at the huge crack on the ground. He was infuriated.

“Sorry, I was a little too excited after wearing the Black-Golden Wings.” Fang Zhengzhi smiled and he threw the broken sword towards the gate of the city.

Meanwhile, the Demon soldiers stood rooted to the ground as they took a glance at Fang Zhengzhi and Emperor Yun before looking down at the deep crack.

If a sentence was to be used to describe what the Demon soldiers felt now, it would be…

“Mom, I want to go home!”

“…”

Hundred years ago, Sagely Battle God Meng Tian attacked the Blood Shadow City alone and killed the Demon Lord Si Kong, leaving behind an everlasting mark.

And today…

The Demon soldiers guarding the gates felt like they experiencing deja vu.

It felt like a repeat of the battle that took place 100 years ago, especially when they saw Fang Zhengzhi and the Demon Lord flying towards them in the sky and the big “God” word on Fang Zhengzhi’s black face cloth.

“Meng Tian?! Sagely Battle God Meng Tian!”

“He is a God… A real Battle God!”

“…”

The mission of the Demon soldiers told them to continue with their defense, however, how could they do so when “Meng Tian” appeared in front of their eyes in such a manner?

The difference in the level of power was so huge that they could not even counterattack at all.

…

Fang Zhengzhi did not bother about what the Demon soldiers were thinking about because he suddenly felt like he became a “bird human”.

When the Black-Golden Wings fused with his body, the energy in his body increased dramatically as he felt that he became so powerful that he could match up with the demons and monsters, or rather, it felt as if he suddenly shared the same bloodline as the monsters.

Black-Golden Wings, was this the most precious treasure of the Demon Lord?

Fang Zhengzhi had been searching for treasures for the past few years. However, the treasures he found were antiques or things like silver.

There were not many treasures which were truly of high value.

The Traceless Sword was a decent treasure, followed by The Vast World, then the remaining Hypnotic Eye, Near-Life Gate, and more.

Moreover, he had lost the Near-Life Gate in the battle at the Heaven Dao Pavilion.

Besides that, there were nine Three Legged Black Cauldron of unknown uses he found on the Nine Pinnacles Mountain and a few Penta-colored Wonder Flowers he snatched at the Ling Yun Tower. Last but not least, the 26 Heaven Dao Sage Tablet. He originally had 23 pieces but found another 3 in the pendant of Yun Qingwu.

Was it a lot?

Not at all!

At least, that was what Fang Zhengzhi thought. To him, if he could count the number of treasures, it would not be considered as having a lot of them. He could easily take a few hundred or thousand more pieces.

Wait a minute!

Black-Golden Wings, the same bloodline…

Fang Zhengzhi narrowed his eyes suddenly as he remembered a few treasures he had seen before, such as the Blazing Qilin Spear in Ping Yang’s hands and the Green Dragon Eye of Emperor Lin Mubai.

Bloodline!

There seemed to be a drop of golden blood on the tip of the Blazing Qilin Spear.

As for the Green Dragon Eye that was used to protect Emperor Lin Mubai, when it was used, one could feel the real “blood of the dragon” in the Green Dragon Eye.

Apart from that, there was a drop of blood in Fang Zhengzhi’s Traceless Sword too, a drop of purple blood.

Treasures, bloodline?!

Strangely, Fang Zhengzhi thought that there were much more secrets involved. After all, it was impossible for all these treasures to be related to each other coincidentally.

“Seems like there are a lot of unknown secrets in this world!” Fang Zhengzhi made a brave guess that the bloodline on these treasures was perhaps related to the major battle between Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang as well as the Monster Emperor. He could unveil the scene of the battle if he was able to figure out the secret behind these treasures.

Therefore, in order to “unveil” the scene, Fang Zhengzhi decided to sacrifice himself to collect more treasures which are related to the bloodlines so as to “examine” them thoroughly.

However, it was not the time to do that now. After all, he saw Shan Yu and the few Settlement Chiefs of the Southern Region surrounded by thousands of Demon soldiers outside the Blood Shadow City.

However, these did not matter…

After he became a “bird human”, was he worried that he could not break through?

“Anyone who obstructs me will die!” It was rare for Fang Zhengzhi to talk in such a formal manner but since he was acting as Meng Tian, he had to do some things using Meng Tian’s identity.

At the very least, he needed to sound more charismatic.

However, the awkward was the sentence became a loud and clear whistle instead.

“Yo!!!”

“…”

“He is Meng Tian, Sagely Battle God Meng Tian!”

“Sir Demon Lord!”

“They are approaching us!”

After seeing Fang Zhengzhi and the Demon Lord charging down towards them, all the expressions of the Demon soldiers changed as they did not know what to do.

That was because they knew that the “Meng Tian” who were outside of the Blood Shadow City were fake after seeing the signal given out at the position of the Demonic Hall of the Blood Shadow City.

They only dared to attack because they knew that they were fake…

However, the real “Meng Tian” had appeared and flown above them with the Demon Lord in one of his hands. How could they not be surprised or scared?

“Senior!” Shan Yu had already seen Fang Zhengzhi flying towards her when the gate was split apart. However, when she saw the Demon Lord in his hand, she was astonished. “Senior Meng Tian really managed to… do it?!”

“Queen of the Southern Region, did you have fun?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Shan Yu with a smirk as he landed.

“Fun?” Shan Yu was stunned. She could not associate anything that took place earlier on with the word “fun”.

Meanwhile, after Fang Zhengzhi descended, the surrounding Demon soldiers instinctively took a step back and held on tight to their spears.

“Sir Demon Lord!”

“Meng Tian, release Sir Demon Lord!”

“Attack and save Sir Demon Lord!”

“Get lost!” Emperor Yun’s voice broke off the roars of the surrounding Demon soldiers. His lips trembled a little but eventually gritted his teeth and said, “I know that all of you are brave, but… stop making sacrifices, head back, all of you, rebuild the Blood Shadow City, I am leaving the future of the Demon Race to all of you!”

“Sir Demon Lord…”

“We…”

“…”

After hearing his words, every single Demon soldier’s body shook and some of them had tears in their eyes.

Meanwhile, Shan Yu and the few Settlement Chiefs’ bodies stiffened. They looked at the Demon Lord and Fang Zhengzhi and completely could not figure out what had happened.

However, Fang Zhengzhi did not bother to explain.

“Er… Queen of the Southern Region, can I ask you a question, are there any treasures in the Southern Region? Hmm… I mean, a treasure similar to the Black-Golden Wings on me, do you… understand what I mean?” Fang Zhengzhi pointed at the gigantic Black-Golden Wings behind him as he spoke.

“A trea… treasure similar to the black-golden wings?!” Shan Yu’s expression froze. She did not know how to answer Fang Zhengzhi’s question.

Should she say yes?

However, there were no similar treasures that allowed one to fly in the Southern Region. However, if she said no… she felt it was inappropriate.

Moreover…

Why did Senior suddenly become so interested in “treasures” after he left the Blood Shadow City? Shan Yu could not understand why.

“No? Seriously? The Southern Region is so big but there are no such treasures?” Fang Zhengzhi felt slightly disappointed when he saw how Shan Yu kept quiet.

“This… there are, there are a lot of treasures in the Southern Region!” Seeing the disappointed look on Fang Zhengzhi’s face, Shan Yu clenched her teeth and said.

“Really? What are they?!” Fang Zhengzhi became excited when he heard that.

“Gold mine, the Southern Region has a lot of gold mines…”

“Gold mine?! Isn’t the gold mine my…” Fang Zhengzhi broke off Shan Yu’s sentence but he realized something halfway through his sentence. “Em… I mean, how would something as ordinary as gold mine be something a God like me would fancy?”

“Ordinary? Hmm, to Senior, gold mines are definitely ordinary. However… he liked it a lot. I forgot to say earlier on that ten of the gold mines in the Southern Region belongs to him, however, they are invaded by the Demon Race now. If he found out about this, I’m sure he would…”

“Demon Lord, did you hear her? Hurry make a command for the Demon soldiers to return the gold mines to the Southern Region! You are acting like a thief, do you know? A thief!” Before Shan Yu could finish her sentence, Fang Zhengzhi said to the Demon Lord.

“…”

“…”

The Demon Lord blinked and looked at Shan Yu before shifting his gaze to “Meng Tian” who was wearing a black face cloth. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead. “Isn’t it… ordinary?”

“Ordinary?! Who said it is ordinary? How can something as priceless as gold mine be ordinary? Let me ask you, do you want to live?”

“…”

There was a type of suffering that made one’s heart exhausted.

That was exactly how Emperor Yun felt at that point. His heart was really exhausted and felt like dying. However, he was a little indignant.

Like what Fang Zhengzhi said, he had already endured till this point, if he was killed, the suffering he had endured would be wasted.

“Pass down my command, all the Demon soldiers are to retreat from the gold mines of the Southern Regions!”

“Roger!” The Demon soldiers replied immediately.

Hearing this, Fang Zhengzhi blinked as he sensed that Shan Yu was looking at him with a look of expectation.

Shan Yu, the queen of the Southern Region…

How could she continue to be called the Queen of the Southern Region if the Southern Region was no longer hers?

Fang Zhengzhi understood what Shan Yu wanted, she wanted to force the Demon Lord to give a command for the Demon soldiers to retreat from the Southern Region.

However, was retreating from the gold mine and retreating from the Southern Region referring to the same thing?

Fang Zhengzhi was unsure.

He did not know if the Demon Race would really obey the Demon Lord if he ordered them to retreat from the Southern Region. However, he was certain that the Southern Region would no longer be the same even after the Demon Race left.

To put it more straightforward, even if the Demon Race pretended to retreat, the Southern Region would still be unprotected like a piece of meat hanging from the Demon Race’s mouth.

There was a similar story in the Three Kingdoms Period in the past world called the “Death of Yang Xiu”.

It was about how during a battle, Cao Cao gave a command called the “chicken ribs” at night. Yang Xiu, the counselor, figures out the hidden meaning which was “tasteless but to give up” and assumed that Cao Cao would retreat in the future. Therefore, he packed up early to prevent last-minute chaos but ended up getting himself killed.

As for the Southern Region…

It was actually a ‘chicken rib’.

If Fang Zhengzhi forced the Demon soldiers to retreat from the Southern Region, Shan Yu would remain in the Southern Region. The current manpower and capability of the Southern Region troops were insufficient to protect the region and hence the Southern Region was still like a piece of meat hanging from the Demon race’s mouth.

“Let’s go.” Fang Zhengzhi ignored Shan Yu’s look of expectation.

“Senior… Senior! The Southern Region is my homeland, it is where I grew up, my father is still inside and his remains has yet to be properly buried. I plead you, Senior, please…” Shan Yu’s knees bent and wanted to kneel.

“Sell one’s body to bury one’s father, have you heard of this, Queen of the Southern Region?” Fang Zhengzhi stretched out his arm and stopped Shan Yu from kneeling.

Of course, while doing that, he made two sweeping glances from Shan Yu’s face to all the parts of her body.
