Chapter 854: Wait till You Find Out Who’s Got My Back

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“What happens to a human who sides with the demons?” A chilling flash appeared in Dao Hun’s eyes as he took a step forward.

“He’s obviously everyone’s enemy!” The elder behind Dao Hun smirked and said because he already understood what Dao Hun meant.

“That’s right. I shall person end this traitor’s life!” After Dao Hun said that, he stepped out of Yin Yang Hall’s corner without asking for Dao Xin’s opinion. Then, he appeared in the middle of the battleground in just a flash.

Dao Xin’s lips moved as if she wanted to say something. However, after she saw where Dao Hun had appeared, she held her tongue ultimately.

Such a scene naturally attracted the surrounding disciples’ attention.

“Eh? Is Dao Hun joining the fight too?”

“It’s very likely. Since we’ve found out about the elders’ true identities, Bai Fei’s identity is equally questionable according to my speculation!”

“No matter who Bai Fei actually is, it’s a rare learning opportunity for us to see three of the strongest masters fighting at the same time.”

“Yes, I must learn something from them.”

The disciples didn’t feel threatened because humans had forced the Demon race to cower in the Great Swamp for so many years. They were basically harmless.

Most importantly, the leaders of the Five Sects of the Holy Region were all present on the Heaven Zen Mountain. Why did they need to worry about a few problematic demons?

While the disciples expected Dao Hun to attack the demons, he suddenly pointed at Fang Zhengzhi who was hiding behind a statue.

“Fang Zhengzhi, how dare you collude with the Demon race and disrupt the Holy Region’s peacefulness!” Dao Hun exuded a powerful aura as he said that.

“Collude with the Demon race?”

“Did Dao Hun just say that Fang Zhengzhi is colluding with the Demon race?”

“What’s going on?”

The disciples were definitely dumbfounded by Dao Hun’s words. After all, they didn’t see any connection between Fang Zhengzhi and the Demon race.

In fact, even the other four sects of the Holy Region were extremely confused because Fang Zhengzhi had just dealt with the Nangong Nobles.

Based on the current situation…

It was most likely that the Nangong Nobles were working with the Demon race. In that case, how could Nangong Nobles’ enemy, Fang Zhengzhi, work with the demons?

“I’m colluding with the Demon race?” Fang Zhengzhi also seemed a little surprised as he looked a Dao Hun. However, he regained his composure quickly.

That was because he wouldn’t be too surprised no matter why Dao Hun said that. After all, he wanted him dead.

On that basis alone…

It would be normal for Dao Hun to find an opportunity to accuse him of a crime.

Demons were on the loose currently, so it made sense that Dao Hun took advantage of such a great opportunity to accuse him of colluding with the Demon race.

However, was this really the perfect time for ‘infighting’?

“Dao Hun, are you a dumbass?” Fang Zhengzhi cursed at Dao Hun directly and ignored those astonished faces around him.

“Such insolence!”

“How dare you insult our Hallmaster!”

Yin Yang Hall’s disciples retaliated immediately after they heard Fang Zhengzhi.

“Aren’t you brave?” Fang Zhengzhi showed no courtesy. With a wave of his hand, several bolts of lightning descended from the sky and struck the disciples who talked back to him.

Boom!

They were blown away immediately.

“This…”

“…”

The surrounding disciples felt a chill up their backs when they saw that. Although they knew that Fang Zhengzhi was insolent, it was completely different to witness it as compared to hearing about it.

‘He attacked them just like that?’

‘Completely without a shred of concern?’

‘This guy is truly fearless!’

“Dao Hun, I am all up for it if you want a fight. However, aren’t you too naive for trying to accuse me of colluding with the demons?” Said Fang Zhengzhi as he put his hands around his waist and shook his ass, shooting Dao Hun a condescending glance.

“Hmph, Fang Zhengzhi, don’t try to deny it. Everyone knows that you were thrown into the Middle Stream Cauldron at Nine Pinnacles Mountain. How could you have survived that without the Monster race’s help?” Dao Hun saw the disciples who were blown away and his expression grew cold. However, he didn’t comment about it.

After all, he had already known Fang Zhengzhi’s insolence. It wasn’t a big deal since he had only attacked a few disciples.

“Where’s your proof?” Fang Zhengzhi sneered and replied.

“The fact that Nine Pinnacles Mountain has already been taken over by the Monster race is the best proof!” Dao Hun pointed at the four monsters in the air and said coldly.

The three other sects of the Holy Region and the surrounding disciples were all a little alarmed when they heard that.

They might not have been convinced before, but Dao Hun’s words acted as a sudden wake-up call.

Just as Dao Hun had stated…

Without the Monster race’s help, how could Fang Zhengzhi possibly get out of Nine Pinnacles Mountain alive? Most importantly, there was obviously a huge problem with Nine Pinnacles Mountain at the moment. It was even possible that the monsters had taken over the sect completely.

That alone was indeed the most solid proof.

“Fang Zhengzhi, it’s time for you to repay our kindness. We have already gained the upper hand now, so stop wasting time with them and kill Dao Hun. The Monster race will help you eradicate Yin Yang Hall!” At this moment, they heard someone’s voice from a short distance away.

It was none other than Bai Fei, who was standing in front of Nine Pinnacles Mountain’s corner.

“Repay our kindness?”

“Kill Dao Hun and eradicate Yin Yang Hall?!”

That simple sentence had immediately changed the minds of the surrounding disciples as well as those from the Holy Region. Everyone looked at Fang Zhengzhi with an obvious cautiousness this time.

“Fang Zhengzhi, how dare you collude with the Monster race!”

“Don’t forget that you’re human, not a monster!”

It didn’t take long before the scolding started. After all, humans would never tolerate someone who had colluded with the Monster race for the sake of his own revenge.

“Damn it, am I getting screwed over?” Fang Zhengzhi’s expression changed and exclaimed inwardly when he saw the cautious looks around him.

That was because it was obviously a scheme to sow dissension between them.

As an ancient saying went, ‘He that toucheth pitch shall be defiled’

Fang Zhengzhi felt like he was defiled now. He used to be the person who sowed dissension between others, but it seemed like he was the victim now.

The person who dealt the killing blow…

Was obviously Bai Fei.

Fang Zhengzhi knew that it was pointless to say anything at this moment. The only thing he could do was to take down Bai Fei and prove his innocence.

However, both Chi Guyan and Ping Yang were severely injured. How could he cast them aside and deal with Bai Fei?

As that thought went through his mind, he heard Dao Hun again.

“Fang Zhengzhi, you’re a traitor to mankind. I, Dao Hun, shall personally execute you today!” It was obvious that Dao Hun wasn’t going to give Fang Zhengzhi any time to explain himself or take down Bai Fei.

He neared Fang Zhengzhi in an instant with an obvious smirk hidden beneath his hideous mask.

“Bring it on!” Fang Zhengzhi didn’t back away. Since Dao Hun had already attacked him, people would treat him as a paper tiger if he didn’t fight back.

Fang Zhengzhi raised his Traceless Sword instantly. As the devilish purple light appeared, he lashed out at Dao Hun without any hesitation.

Boom!

Following a violent gust, Dao Hun was actually blown away. He only managed to stand firm after taking three steps backward.

All the surrounding disciples were overwhelmed with disbelief when they saw that because they could see clearly that blood was dripping off Dao Hun’s finger.

Tap! It was barely audible.

However, the drop of blood did slowly fall from Dao Hun’s finger and dripped onto the broken ground paved with white jade.

In contrast to Dao Hun, Fang Zhengzhi didn’t even budge. Although his face was a little flushed, he didn’t take a single step back. The only thing that was moving in the wind was his long, blue robe.

“He actually overpowered Dao Hun?!”

“Is this fellow… Really only 18 years old?”

“He’s so powerful! How is he so powerful when he’s only 18 years old? Dao Hun is one of the strongest masters in the Holy Region, so how could he stand his ground against him? Furthermore, he even managed to overpower Dao Hun!”

“Has this fellow reached the peak of Sage State? That’s impossible!”

This time, the surrounding disciples were truly stunned.

Although they already knew how strong Fang Zhengzhi was from his previous fight against Nangong Hao, it was still unbelievable that he had reached such a level.

In fact, even Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi were shocked.

After all, they knew too well about Dao Hun’s strength.

“This kid is already powerful enough to face Dao Hun?!” Mo Shanshi obviously couldn’t conceal his astonishment.

In his impression, Fang Zhengzhi was strong, but not that strong. He didn’t believe that Fang Zhengzhi was on the same level as them.

However…

He had to accept the truth before his eyes.

“This fellow has actually matured. Furthermore, he has matured to a terrifying extent. If he is really colluding with the Monster race, it’d be a tough situation for us!” Although Mu Qingfeng wasn’t convinced that Fang Zhengzhi was working with the Monster race, he couldn’t help but be worried, especially since Chi Guyan was currently in his hands.

If Fang Zhengzhi actually threatened him with Chi Guyan’s life, even he wouldn’t know what to do.

“Yo? Yin Yang Hall’s Hallmaster, is that all you got? I expected you to be much stronger. It seems like I’ve overestimated you!” Fang Zhengzhi curled his lips upwards into a sneer and said. The redness on his face disappeared and he shot Dao Hun a condescending glance.

“Three months… Merely three months have passed. How could he have gotten so strong?!” Dao Hun raised his finger and glimpsed at the cut. He was obviously a little dumbfounded.

Although he didn’t exert his full strength or even use a weapon just now, he was still shocked that Fang Zhengzhi had managed to injure his finger with a single slash.

“If Yin Yang Hall wants to harm Fang Zhengzhi, you’d have to get past Shadow Sect first!”

“That’s right!”

“Dao Hun, our fight from three months ago hasn’t ended!”

At this instance, Wu Yuer, who had remained seated so far, stepped in, and so did Heavenly Oasis Saint and Yan Qianli.

The three of them walked out of their corner, followed by hundreds of Shadow Sect’s disciples who were all wearing black bamboo hats and carrying a sword on their backs.

Fang Zhengzhi smiled again.

Then, he looked towards Qian Yu, who was ‘firm as a rock’, and his expression suddenly became sincere as he said, “Auntie, I’m a part of Ling Yun Tower. Are you really going to sit back and watch me get bullied?”

“Bastard, why didn’t you remember that you are part of Ling Yun Tower when you sabotaged me just now?” Qian Yu was obviously unconvinced.

“Auntie, are you going to expel me now?” Instead of answering Qian Yu’s question, Fang Zhengzhi continued with a smile.

“Seems like you aren’t lacking in self-awareness. To be honest, I’ve truly never seen someone as shameless as you before!” Qian Yu scolded him in a scornful tone. However, she quickly turned towards Dao Hun and said, “Hallmaster Dao, I’ll cut straight to the point. Fang Zhengzhi is mine, so you can’t lay a finger on him!”

“Is mine?!”

“Did Qian Yu just say Fang Zhengzhi belongs to her?”

“What’s going on?”

“Are you telling me that Qian Yu and Fang Zhengzhi are…”

The surrounding disciples’ expressions looked a little weird at this moment despite their astonishment. They were clearly filled with disbelief as they glanced at Qian Yu and Fang Zhengzhi.

On the other hand, Emperor Lin Mubai, who was sitting at a short distance away, couldn’t take it any longer. After all, even he sensed the inappropriateness in Qian Yu’s words.

“Yu’er is Great Xia Dynasty’s empress, and I’ve also personally bestowed Fang Zhengzhi the title of Prince Cang. The Great Xia Dynasty wouldn’t allow Hallmaster Dao to harm Fang Zhengzhi either!” Lin Mubai’s explanation was perfect.

Although it was a simple sentence, it had undoubtedly informed everyone of Qian Yu’s relationship with Great Xia Dynasty and got rid of the inappropriateness in her statement earlier.

However, Fang Zhengzhi curled his lips at this moment with unwillingness written all over his face. After all, he had never admitted that he was going to become Qian Yu’s son-in-law.

However, he was more than happy that Qian Yu got his back.

“Dao Hun, don’t you want to kill me? In that case, get past my auntie Qian Yu first!” Fang Zhengzhi pointed at Qian Yu as he said that.
