“No!” Ping Yang gripped her spear rightly. She hoped that she could be faster, for she wanted to stop the attacks even if it meant sacrificing herself.

However, she was barely as strong as a Sage, so this was her maximum speed.

She was overwhelmed with rage, hatred, and despair.

She had thought that things were getting better, but she didn’t expect it to change for the worse in the blink of an eye.

They were too careless!

Why would the leader of Ling Yun Tower spend so much time telling them about stories in the past? Nevertheless, the story was so interesting that she wanted to keep listening.

Time appeared to have frozen at this moment. Ping Yang heard nothing but the wind as she blamed herself for being useless and failing to notice Qian Ye’s sneak attack, because she was too focused on her story.

Ping Yang was filled with regrets as the golden sunlight descended, but she didn’t close her eyes.

Fang Zhengzhi dodged the falling sunlight.

He was equally fast!

Furthermore, he was also falling back rapidly at the same time, and he was already beside Ping Yang in a flash.

Then, Ping Yang felt an arm around her waist that tugged her back.

“You silly.” She heard an indifferent voice, following which, she noticed a familiar and calming scent, which made her feel safe and at ease just like the night that she spent beside the Icy Pond.

“Is the shameless fellow trying to… Save me?!” Ping Yang was shocked to her core. While she was trying her best to Fang Zhengzhi, he was also trying his best to save her.

That didn’t seem very cooperative, but Ping Yang was touched.

Sometimes, it didn’t matter if they were in sync, as long as the first thing on their minds were each other’s safety.

Qian Ye didn’t slow down at all, she was getting faster instead, charging towards Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang in a straight line. The golden orbs in her hands grew increasingly brighter.

She was closing in on them!

“Leader, have you ever considered that I have been waiting for your sneak attack since a long time ago!” Fang Zhengzhi suddenly turned towards Qian Ye and smiled.

“Hmm?!” Qian Ye’s expression froze for a second, and she subconsciously slowed down a little. The slight moment of delay allowed Fang Zhengzhi to get away.

“Just as I thought, a cautious person gets way too paranoid!” Thank you for sparing my life, leader!” As Fang Zhengzhi said that, he was already nowhere to be seen.

Ping Yang also disappeared along with him.

For an instance, Ping Yang felt like she was traveling at an incredible speed, almost as if she was teleporting.

It was so fast that her vision blurred.

She was already standing in front of Ling Yun Tower when she could see clearly again, and there was a person standing before her, equally overwhelmed with disbelief.

It was Cang Yue!

All of these happened in an instant, from Qian Ye’s sneak attack, to Fang Zhengzhi pulling Ping Yang back, and eventually taking advantage of Qian Ye’s paranoia to get to Cang Yue.

Everything took place so quickly that no one else managed to react in time.

“Is this his true strength?!” Ping Yang finally realized that the gap their strengths had never been bridged.

Fang Zhengzhi didn’t know what Ping Yang was thinking of. He only knew that he had truly waited a long time for Qian Ye’s sneak attack. He had to thank Cang Yue for this, because it was her confused expression while staring at Qian Ye’s back that allowed him to discover the aura which was getting stronger.

Sneak attack?

That was Fang Zhengzhi’s specialty.

Hence, he wouldn’t simply dodge the attack. Since Qian Ye liked to put on a show, he wasn’t about to ruin her fun.

He originally intended to take down Cang Yue using this opportunity, since she was the key to solving all the problems.

However, he didn’t expect Ping Yang to act so rashly and charge out while he was feinting.

This was a helpless yet familiar sensation for him.

Maybe that was who Ping Yang was.

She was a spoiled princess who was a little troublesome and simple-minded!

However, it was this troublesome and simple-minded princess that accompanied him through many crises. She even took a few bullets for him before. Of course, none of this mattered at the moment. Although there was a small change in the plot, the outcome was just as Fang Zhengzhi had expected.

His sword struck towards Cang Yue with a demonic purple light.

However, she wasn’t going down without a fight. A dazzling silver radiance appeared on her body the moment she saw Fang Zhengzhi appearing in front of her.

“Go to hell!” Cang Yue attacked him with the glittering starlight in her hand without any hesitation.

If Fang Zhengzhi was alone, she would have escaped right away. After all, she knew that she was no match for him if both his hands were free.

However, since Fang Zhengzhi was holding Ping Yang and only one of his hands was free, Cang Yue wanted to take a shot at it. More importantly, this was such a rare opportunity.

“I guess this turned out to be a blessing in disguise!” Fang Zhengzhi smiled brightly when Cang Yue attacked him.

He wasn’t so confident about capturing Cang Yue if she tried to escape, but it seemed like Ping Yang’s presence solved the problem.

Cang Yue… Didn’t run away!

“Well then… Stay down!” Fang Zhengzhi disappeared again, and Cang Yue was surrounded by eight shadows.

Dragon Dances Eight Realms!

Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t going to kill Cang Yue, so he smacked Cang Yue with his sword instead.

“Cang Yue!” They heard Qian Ye’s voice, following which, the golden radiance attacked one of the eight shadows.

However, it was obviously too late.

Cang Yue was already kneeling before Ping Yang and Fang Zhengzhi with a sword against her neck.

Qian Ye stopped moving. The two golden orbs in her hands were glowing brightly, but she stopped moving when she was two steps away from Fang Zhengzhi

“Leader, why don’t you tell me where Yu Er was imprisoned in exchange for Cang Yue’s life?” Said Fang Zhengzhi. He could tell from Qian Ye’s expression that she was fuming with rage, but he wasn’t bothered by it. Ultimately, he wasn’t the one who was angry about this situation.

“In your dreams!” Qian Ye replied coldly.

“Fine, since you are not going to tell me, I’ll ask Cang Yue instead.” Fang Zhengzhi saw this coming, so he wasn’t surprised by her response.

“Hmph, do you think that I will tell you where she is?” Cang Yue glanced at Qian Ye and clenched her fists subconsciously.

She was defeated by Fang Zhengzhi twice in a row!

To make things worse, it happened on the same day. She lost to Fang Zhengzhi again even though he was holding Ping Yang in his arm. Cang Yue was furious and filled with resentment.

Why!

She couldn’t understand how a man who was definitely going to die had become a Sage in merely a few months. Moreover, he was ridiculously strong.

“Hahaha, why won’t you tell me where Yu Er is?” Fang Zhengzhi chuckled as if he didn’t notice Cang Yue’s anger and resentment.

“Haha… Fang Zhengzhi, did you knock your head? Why would I tell you where my master is?” Cang Yue snorted.

“Because I can rescue your master. Unless… You don’t want to rescue her? Was I right when I said that you have already betrayed your master a long time ago?”

“Rescue my master? Hahaha… Are you going to rescue my master? What a joke! Hahaha… That is such a ridiculous joke!” Cang Yue was actually laughing out loud this time.

“Why can’t I do that?”

“Sure, sure you can. In that case, you’d kill Ping Yang. If you kill her, I’d immediately tell you where master is!”

“Do you think that’s possible?”

“That’s impossible, isn’t it? Hahaha… What if I told you, the only way to rescue my master is to kill Ping Yang?” Cang Yue stared at Fang Zhengzhi intently after saying that.

“Killing Ping Yang is the only way to rescue Yu Er?” Fang Zhengzhi frowned.

“That’s right. Ping Yang is the seal that imprisoned my master! Are you going to kill her? Hahaha… Didn’t you say that you were going to rescue her? Then you’d kill Ping Yang! If you killed her, master would be released instantly!” Cang Yue nodded with a psychotic expression. “Do you now understand why I wanted her dead so badly?”

“I am my mother’s seal?! I… I was the one who imprisoned my mother…” Ping Yang turned pale and started trembling, unable to believe that that was the truth.

“Ping Yang, this is nothing but Cang Yue’s ploy!” Fang Zhengzhi’s brows knitted tightly together when he felt Ping Yang’s emotional instability.

He obviously didn’t take Cang Yue’s words seriously. However, he felt like Cang Yue wasn’t lying when he looked at her psychotic expression.

Of course, he wasn’t going to tell Ping Yang about that.

Even if Cang Yue wasn’t lying, he couldn’t possibly kill Ping Yang in order to rescue Yu Er. That was never going to happen.

“My ploy? Haha, Fang Zhengzhi, since you are so smart, you must be able to tell if I am lying or not. Otherwise, how could I possibly be willing to serve someone apart from my master! I wanted to kill Ping Yang ever since she was born. I hated her even more when she became master’s seal, and I spent every minute wishing she was dead. However, I couldn’t kill her. She is my master’s child, so I could never kill her no matter how much I wanted to. I knew how much my master loves her, so if I killed her, master would never forgive me…”

As Cang Yue said that, she bit her lips so tightly that they started to bleed.

“But you can do that!” Cang Yue turned towards Fang Zhengzhi, before looking at Lin Mubai, “Lin Mubai, you could do it too. Didn’t you say that you love my master? In that case, you have to kill Ping Yang. If you killed her, master would be free again!”

“Nonsense! There’s no way I’d believe you!” Lin Mubai sounded cold. He was clenching his fists tightly.

“Haha, Lin Mubai, you can definitely tell whether I’m spouting nonsense. Didn’t Chen Feihua tell you something when she returned with Ping Yang a dozen years ago?”

“Shut up!” Lin Mubai was visibly shaken by her words.

“Hahaha, just as I thought, you knew about it! Chen Feihua must have told you that Ping Yang’s life was tied to the safety of the entire world. If she hadn’t told you about it, you wouldn’t have kept Ping Yang in Flame Capital City all the time!” Cang Yue started laughing again.

“Cang Yue, I’ll never believe you!” Lin Mubai suddenly turned towards Ping Yang and said sternly, “Ping Yang, let’s return to Great Xia Dynasty together instead of looking for your mother. I will stay by your side just like before, is that alright?”

“Father, she is right, isn’t she?” Ping Yang looked at Lin Mubai with a determined expression on her face.

“Don’t listen to her nonsense!” Lin Mubai’s tone grew fiercer.

“But… It’s true that you didn’t let me out of Flame Capital City for over a decade. Furthermore, everyone seemed to be afraid that something might happen to me, and there were always rumors saying that the world would turn into a mess if I died. Even the Demon Race… That’s right, when I was at the Southern Region, even half-sage Can Yang didn’t dare to kill me! I was the one who imprisoned my mother… Those people weren’t afraid of my death, they were afraid of my mother’s fury and revenge, right?”
