Of course, he could also be described as ‘crispy on the outside and tender on the inside’. However, no one knew if his insides were tender and whether he smelled nice after he was charred.

Nevertheless, one thing was certain.

Fang Zhengzhi probably died. After all, it would be too bizarre if he came back to life after being burnt to a crisp.

“It’s a pity and you and I are not on the same side.” Yun Qingwu naturally knew that no one would answer her question, and her feelings were mixed.

Then, she slowly squatted down. Her snow-white dress opened itself out like a blooming flower. It was staggeringly beautiful.

Having said so, no one would notice that under such a situation.

Ultimately, the battle had not concluded. Although the battle between humans and the Monster and Demon race was coming to an end, its outcome wasn’t decided yet.

Monster Emperor Baizhi’s body stopped in front of Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi, while her gigantic fox tail blocked off all possible routes for Qian Yu and Yan Yin to attack Yun Qingwu. In that case, none of them could get near her.

Yun Qingwu placed her right hand on Fang Zhengzhi’s forehead after she squatted down and gently brushed his scorched skin. Then, her fingers glided downwards.

Her hand slowly reached Fang Zhengzhi’s chest. She pulled his burnt clothes aside and revealed the silver Heart Protection Mirror that was engraved with a squarish ‘jewel’.

It was The Vast World.

Yun Qingwu’s fingers trembled a little. She seemed to have fallen into deep thought as she gazed at the ‘jewel’ engraved on the Heart Protection Mirror.

However, she quickly regained composure. Having said that, she still looked a little sad. Instead of looking happy and excited for retrieving her treasure back, she seemed melancholic.

“Young Lord!” Said someone standing behind Yun Qingwu. The voice seemed much more normal as compared to Yun Qingwu’s sorrow. At the very least, it contained excitement.

“I want to play a song for you.” Yun Qingwu raised her hand and stopped the black figure who was about to move forward rather than removing the Heart Protection Mirror from Fang Zhengzhi’s body directly.

“Now?!” The black figure jolted. He glanced at Monster Emperor Baizhi, then at the badly injured humans, including Mu Qingfeng, before continuing with a surprised tone, “Young Lord, given the current situation… We don’t have too much time for this…”

“Stand down!” Yun Qingwu didn’t wait for him to finish his sentence. Her tone turned cold and a chilling flash appeared in her eyes.

“Please pardon me!” His expression changed and he kneeled down on the ground without any hesitation. His body was cowering and he didn’t even dare to raise his head.

This was definitely a shocking sight to behold for Mu Qingfeng, Mo Shanshi, and the rest.

The elders of the 10 Devilish Domain were extremely well-respected in the Demon race. However. they seemed to be completely insignificant when they faced Yun Qingwu.

If the humans didn’t believe Monster Emperor Baizhi’s words just now, this scene had definitely convinced them otherwise.

Yun Qingwu!

She was truly the leader of both the Monster and the Demon race. Furthermore, she had absolute command and her authority might have even exceeded that of Monster Emperor Baizhi.

At this moment, Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi both fell silent.

They weren’t the only ones. The Sages and disciples beneath who had yet to escape also held their tongues. All of them had a complicated expression on their faces.

Yun Qingwu wasn’t bothered by any of that.

Maybe, the only thing that caught her attention at this moment was the body in front of her. Although it was so charred that it was unidentifiable, Yun Qingwu was still fixated on the body.

“The first time we’ve met was at Huai An County. You were only 15 years old back then…” Yun Qingwu sat down crosslegged and a purple antique Guqin appeared above her knees. She mumbled softly in a tone as soothing as flowing water. It brought a refreshing feeling for everyone on this battlefield that was filled with bloodshed.

The sky was still dark.

Stars were glittering in the sky. Starlight descended on her snow-white dress and covered it with a silver radiance.

“The second time that we’ve met was at River of Trust. That was when everything was going well for you. I could tell that you were very happy on that day.”

The instrumental melody began. It was ‘Guanglin San’, an ancient tune that was rarely known and almost lost in the course of history. However, Yun Qingwu played it skillfully.

“The third time was outside Flame Capital City. Although we could have met, we didn’t…”

“The fourth time was at the Southern Region. You’d already known my identity back then. We were originally just looking at each other from afar, but you abducted me. That was my first failure…”

“…”

“We could finally spend some time together during the last time we met. I thought it could last longer, but you seemed to be in a hurry…”

“Before you left, you asked me why I gave you those things, and I didn’t answer you back then. However, I could tell you the reason now. Although you might not understand my rationale, that’s just the way things are sometimes.”

“If you became an emperor one day, you’d realized that an emperor could give anything to anyone if he wishes, and vice versa. Who could claim ownership over something, against the emperor’s wish? Hence, when you own the entire world, who’s the owner doesn’t really matter anymore.”

As Yun Qingwu said that, she naturally exuded a powerful aura from within. However, the aura quickly disappeared just like a massive dragon that flew into the clouds.

The melody of the Guqin was still delightful to the ears and echoing in the air.

It was a beautiful melody but the disciples below didn’t have the mood to stay and enjoy and it. Before the tune even ended, over half of them had already escaped.

It was an aura.

Although Yun Qingwu didn’t exude it on purpose. The fact that she could casually play a tune on her Guqin amidst this battlefield that was filled with corpses and blood was already a demonstration that she was above everyone else.

At this moment, it seemed like there was only one star in the sky. It was so dazzling and bright that even Monster Emperor Baizhi who had transformed into her Monster Body lost her shine in comparison.

The tune ended but the battle did not.

Yun Qingwu placed her hand on strings of her Guqin and glanced at the Sages and disciples below with an extremely calm and collected expression.

However, in their eyes, Yun Qingwu’s aura was so overpowering that they didn’t dare to look at her.

“Let’s begin!” Said Yun Qingwu softly. The purple antique Guqin on her knees disappeared at the same time.

“Understood!” The black figures standing behind Yun Qingwu replied in unison. Then, they split up and surrounded her.

Monster Emperor Baizhi also reverted back to her human form at this moment. She grabbed Nangong Hao, who was unconscious, in one hand, and walked towards Yun Qingwu. Her snow-white fur dress looked extremely demonic in the night sky.

“Baizhi, you won’t succeed!” Yan Yin charged towards her immediately when she reverted to her human form.

“10-Sided Flaming Demonic Formation!” Yelled the 10 black figures beside Yun Qingwu and Monster Emperor Baizhi. Then, a massive black fire appeared.

The fire completely shrouded the Elder of the 10 Devilish Domains almost instantly. Furthermore, it even acted as a barrier at their center and shielded Baizhi and Yun Qingwu.

Boom! Yan Yin’s fist blasted the massive black fire, sending violent shockwaves towards all directions.

However, the black fire didn’t extinguish. On the contrary, it was crackling and getting even stronger as if the wind was adding fuel to it.

“It’s burning with the help of the wind? I’m afraid that this formation could only be destroyed from the inside!” Mu Qingfeng knitted his brows together even more tightly than before when he saw that. It looked like he was extremely anxious.

“Does that mean we can’t destroy it?” Mo Shanshi clenched his fists tightly from anger. However, no matter how angry he was, what could he do with all those injuries?

“Regardless, we have to try!” Mu Qingfeng gritted his teeth and replied.

“If that’s the case, why are we wasting time?” Qian Yu moved as she said that. She wielded her silver dual blade and descended from above like a falcon.

Boom! As the blast created another violent gust, the black fire grew stronger. The massive flame shot straight up as if it would ignite the entire sky.

“No, this fire is mixed with the wind. Even if we could forcefully create a small crack, the gust would help it grow stronger again!” Yan Yin looked grim.

“Are you telling me that there’s nothing we could do?” Mo Shanshi couldn’t accept that. However, just as Yan Yin and Mu Qingfeng had said, since the Elder of the 10 Devilish Domains decided to deploy the 10-Sided Flaming Demonic Formation at this moment, how could it be so easily broken?

Anger and reluctance!

There was even a little bit of despair.

However, it remained a fact that humans could no longer hold their ground against both the Monster and Demon race after Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi became severely wounded.

“Divine Enchantment – Soul-seizing spell!” At this moment, they heard a voice from within the 10-Sided Flaming Demonic Formation. Then, they felt a buzz in heaven and earth.

Buzz!

Circles after circle of radiance appeared from the 10-Sided Flaming Demonic Formation just like ripples in a lake. However, the ripples did not expand outward or rain down on the people below this time. They were completely enclosed in the 10-Sided Flaming Demonic Formation.

“Hao’er!” Nangong Tian didn’t leave. However, how could he face the dozens of Monster Kings in the sky alone?

He couldn’t accept this either.

They were so close to success after hundreds and thousands of years of hard work but they had failed again. Furthermore, he felt despair this time.

He clenched his fists tightly, but it was pointless. There were dozens of Monster Kings in his way and he couldn’t possibly break through.

Moreover, even if he somehow went past the Monster Kings, he still couldn’t destroy the 10-Sided Flaming Demonic Formation that had stopped even Mu Qingfeng and the rest.

His despair came from his reluctance to accept the outcome.

However, no one cared about Nangong Tian at this moment.

The people who wanted to escape were almost gone, and those that shouldn’t escape were barely holding on. At this point in time, humans had almost no chance of turning the tide of the battle.

“Second Hallmaster, if we don’t retreat now, we might never make it!”

“Yup!” Dao Xin nodded and glanced at the person dressed in a snow-white dress at the center of the 10-Sided Flaming Demonic Formation. Then, her lips started moving.

There wasn’t a single sound, but her lips were moving as if she was saying something.

As Dao Xin’s lips moved, Dao Hun, who was fighting in midair, suddenly jolted. Then, he actually inconspicuously took a glimpse at Dao Xin.

Following which, Dao Hun moved.

He went through the Monster Kings at an extreme speed and reached the top of the Tree of God in an instant as if he was a shooting star in the sky.

This happened fairly suddenly.

What was more sudden was when Dao Hun rapidly turned around after reaching the top of the tree and said, “Pavilion Master Mu, Valley Master Mo, Tower Master Qian. There’s hope as long as there’s life. We were defeated because the Demon and the Monster race caught us by surprise today. Why don’t we leave before we sustain any significant loss and take our revenge another day!” A person appeared in Dao Hun’s arm as he said that.

It was Yan Xiu, who was unconscious at the moment.

“Dao Hun, you…” Mo Shanshi was startled when he heard Dao Hun. Then, it was as if he was too pissed to finish his sentence even though he wanted to say something.

“Old Mo!” Mu Qingfeng squinted and gritted his teeth even harder. However, he eventually sighed and said, “There isn’t really a need for us to die here without a purpose. Hallmaster Dao isn’t completely wrong!”

“Do we really have to go?” Mo Shanshi replied reluctantly.

“Hahaha… Are you trying to leave? That’s only if you could!” They heard Monster Emperor Baizhi laughing at this moment. It sounded seductive unlike her coldness just now. They could guess that she was currently in a good mood.

In fact, anyone would feel pretty good if he was in her place right now. After all, there wasn’t anyone or anything that could stop the upcoming ‘party’ any more.

However, were there any absolutes in the world?`

There were, for example, Mu Qingfeng was definitely old; Mo Shanshi was definitely experienced, and Qian Yu definitely loved Ping Yang a lot. However, did these ‘absolutes’ matter?

Absolutely not!

Taking Monster Emperor Baizhi for example, she was laughing extremely joyously at the moment. However, her laughter didn’t last too long because no one could keep laughing forever.

Boom!

She flew out of the 10-Sided Flaming Demonic Formation and high up into the air like a shiny and bright cabbage rolling in the sky.
