Chapter 880: The True Secret of Heaven Dao Sage Tablets

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Monster Emperor Baizhi believed in god, but not ghosts. However, at this moment, she somehow felt a chill down her spine.

Destroying the formation? That wasn’t scary!

However, destroying the formation in such a way was surely somewhat creepy.

After all, as strong as she was, Baizhi didn’t really want her opponent to be equipped with some sort of unknown power. That was because every unknown could end up changing the tide of the battle.

Now, this sort of unknown seemed to be working.

“Why? Why did this happen? Is it the power of the fruit of the Tree of God? That’s impossible, how could its fruit contain such a power!” Monster Emperor Baizhi was truly struck dumb.

…

Fang Zhengzhi didn’t know what the rest were thinking about. He was just minding his own business and doing what he should be doing.

He first blew the Heart Protection Mirror carefully, then, he slowly put it back on and delicately tightened its strap.

Then, with a blue flash, he was soon covered by a long blue robe.

After everything, Fang Zhengzhi cracked his neck and warmed up his legs. He glanced at Yun Qingwu and the Elders of the 10 Devilish Domains, who had yet to react to him, and sighed inwardly. Sure enough, it was better to bring an extra set of clothes while he was away from home.

However, why wasn’t Yun Qingwu reacting at all even though he had already put on his clothes?

“Relax, although you stripped my clothes off, I wouldn’t do the same to you. After all, your dress isn’t very suitable for me.”

“…”

“The dress isn’t very suitable?!”

“Is this the time to talk about that? Shouldn’t he explain how he has managed to break the 10-Sided Flaming Demonic Formation?”

All the Sages and disciples glanced at each other, and no one had a clue what Fang Zhengzhi was thinking.

Even Mu Qingfeng, Mo Shanshi, and the rest were equally speechless. They randomly felt like they had really gotten older, and their train of thought couldn’t keep up with the youngsters anymore.

However, wasn’t that too much of a change in the topic?

Of course, none of that mattered anymore. What was important was the fact that Fang Zhengzhi had entered 10-Sided Flaming Demonic Formation again, and he did it easily.

Although they didn’t really understand what was going on, Mu Qingfeng, Mo Shanshi, and the rest saw hope once again.

“Fang Zhengzhi, hurry up and destroy the 10-Sided Flaming Demonic Formation and kill the Demon race’s elders. That’s the only way we could help you!” Mu Qingfeng, who had experienced despair once already, was truly scared. He was afraid that Fang Zhengzhi would do something out of the blue again, so he just yelled out the plan straight away.

“That’s right, brat. Hurry up and destroy the formation so that we could all help you!” Mo Shanshi also quickly followed suit after he heard Mu Qingfeng.

The two of them were honestly anxious.

However, Fang Zhengzhi put on a weird expression after hearing them. Then, he glanced at them disdainfully.

“Destroy the formation? Isn’t the old wretch standing outside the formation?” Fang Zhengzhi pointed towards Monster Emperor Baizhi as he said that.

Even though Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi might be stupid, he definitely wasn’t. Even 20 or 30 Demon race’s elders were probably weaker than a single Monster Emperor Baizhi, not to mention 10 of them.

At this moment, the safest option was to stay within the 10-Sided Flaming Demonic Formation, carefreely toy with Yun Qingwu, and enjoy a snack while watching Mu Qingfeng, Mo Shanshi, and the rest fighting against Monster Emperor Baizhi.

Furthermore, Nangong Hao was also inside the 10-Sided Flaming Demonic Formation and less than five steps away from him. He’d immediately solve everything by taking him down.

‘Destroy the formation?’

‘Only an idiot would do that!’

“…”

“…”

What did it feel like to get slapped in the face?

Mu Qingfeng didn’t know that. However, there was a burning sensation on his face at this instance. The pain made him feel like crawling into a hole.

Mo Shanshi’s face also hurt, even more than when Monster Emperor Baizhi slapped him. After all, his intelligence was insulted.

Having said that, no one knew why they said something as stupid as that. After all, thanks to that shocking scene just now, none of them realized that Monster Emperor Baizhi also went out of the 10-Sided Flaming Demonic Formation.

“Old Mu, are our brains fried?”

“…” Mu Qingfeng’s lips moved and he turned beet red. Nevertheless, as Heaven Dao Pavilion’s Master, his endurance was better than average. “Stop wasting time, let’s do it!”

“Let’s go!”

“Pavilion Master and Valley Master Mo, since you’re both injured, I’ll stall Monster Emperor Baizhi and buy some time for the kid!” Yan Yin naturally reacted.

Yan Yin moved as he said that and bolted towards Baizhi like a stream of light.

“Hmph, you’re overestimating yourself!” Monster Emperor Baizhi also regained her composure. She didn’t dare to waste any more time when she saw Yan Yin charging towards her.

That was because she knew that she had to return to 10-Sided Flaming Demonic Formation as soon as possible and prevent Fang Zhengzhi from killing Yun Qingwu.

However, could she do that?

Considering the distance, it seemed impossible because Fang Zhengzhi was too close to Yun Qingwu. He was only one step away from her, which meant that her life was in his hands.

A sword appeared in Fang Zhengzhi’s hand at this moment. A demonic purple radiance was flowing on the sword just like a stream of blood.

“Fang Zhengzhi, don’t you dare!” The 10 elders of the Demon race finally reacted. They couldn’t be bothered with maintaining the formation anymore and charged towards Fang Zhengzhi simultaneously and

“Do you guys think that I don’t dare to do it?” Fang Zhengzhi’s lips curled into a smile as Traceless Sword moved in the air and drew a purple shadow.

When the shadow disappeared, the blade of the sword was already on Yun Qingwu’s neck.

Yun Qingwu didn’t fight back or move a single muscle from beginning to end. She just stood there quietly like a puppet.

The 10 elders of the Demon race stopped moving. They clenched their fists tightly and radiance was glittering in their golden Demon Eyes. However, none of them dared to move anymore.

That was because they knew very well that Fang Zhengzhi dared to do anything.

“Fang Zhengzhi, I’d definitely kill you if you hurt Qingwu!” Said Baizhi as she clawed towards Yan Yin.

One could tell that she was really anxious. Her attack almost tore a visible giant hole in space.

“You won’t get past!’ Yan Yin obviously knew that Monster Emperor Baizhi was anxious. The more anxious she was, the more he had to stop her.

Yan Yin gritted his teeth and exuded a terrifying aura. At the meantime, two blood-red markings were spinning on his palms.

“If there was time, I’d definitely considered playing a tune for you too.” Fang Zhengzhi ignored Baizhi and Yan Yin. He just glanced at Yun Qingwu.

“It’s isn’t too late now.” She replied flatly.

“I’d like to do that, but it’s a pity that I don’t know how to play it.” Fang Zhengzhi replied and sighed. It seemed like he actually felt proud about not knowing how to play the Guqin rather than feeling embarrassed.

“That’s fine, I could teach you.” Yun Qingwu said calmly. The purple Guqin appeared in her hands in the meantime and it seemed like she really wanted to teach him.

“So, it looks like you don’t really want to die now?” Fang Zhengzhi glanced at the Guqin in her hands and started laughing uncontrollably.

“No one wants to die.”

“However, I remembered that you were never scared of dying.”

“Not being scared of dying and wanting to die are two different matters.”

“That makes sense. However, it seems like there is no way to end this war unless you die.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded softly and replied.

“My death has no direct impact on ending the war. My mother and Nangong Hao are the ones who would truly affect the war.” Yun Qingwu pointed at Nangong Hao.

“So, should I kill Nangong Hao first?” Fang Zhengzhi understood what she meant at this point in time.

“I’d definitely do that if I were you.”

“However, you aren’t me. Furthermore, I’m not stupid. The war would end as long as your life is in my hands.” Fang Zhengzhi didn’t fall for her trap so easily.

“If that’s the case, let’s make a deal.” Yun Qingwu didn’t continue debating when she heard that.

“What are the conditions?” Fang Zhengzhi didn’t want to waste time, but he honestly seldom heard Yun Qingwu initiating a deal with him.

After all, Yun Qingwu used to be completely unafraid of dying, so she would never make a deal with him. Hence, he couldn’t help but be curious.

“If you let me go, I’d give you a piece of land and make you the emperor. Furthermore, I can promise that both Demon and Monster races would never set foot in your territory as long as you are alive.” Yun Qingwu made her offer without much consideration.

“How big is the piece of land?” Fang Zhengzhi asked as if he was actually interested.

“The entire Great Xia Dynasty.”

“Are you really capable of doing that?”

“Of course, I can do that as long as you let me go.” Yun Qingwu nodded and replied with certainty.

“Fang Zhengzhi, don’t believe her. How could she decide the ownership of the Great Xia Dynasty just like that?” A voice interrupted their conversation at this moment.

It was Mu Qingfeng.

One could that Mu Qingfeng was really anxious this time. After all, he really wasn’t sure if Fang Zhengzhi would give in to such conditions.

“Brat, Yun Qingwu is obviously lying to you. Given your current strength, if you really want to be an emperor, I, Mo Shanshi, could make you an emperor unconditionally after this war is over!” Mo Shanshi also chimed in.

However, as compared to Mu Qingfeng’s indirectness, Mo Shanshi sounded more ‘sincere’ as he had completely disregarded the emperors of the three great empires that weren’t too far away yet.

Fang Zhengzhi laughed.

He naturally hoped that this was an ‘auction’, so that Monster Emperor, Mu Qingfeng, and the rest could all start bidding, and the highest bidder would win.

However, it was a pity that he didn’t have too much time. Furthermore, even if he did, he wasn’t really interested in becoming an emperor.

“Your offer is decent, but I don’t really want to be an emperor. What should I do?” Fang Zhengzhi’s hand moved slowly and Traceless Sword made a cut on Yun Qingwu’s neck. He had decided to stop wasting time with her and kill her right then and there.

“I still have an offer that you’d definitely be interested in!” Said Yun Qingwu. He could hear a little anxiousness in her voice. Although Yun Qingwu still looked calm, her body trembled.

“Oh? An off that I’d definitely be interested in? Tell me about it.” Fang Zhengzhi’s hand stopped moving. He decided to give her time to finish her sentence.

“Heaven Dao Sage Tablet, the rest of the Heaven Dao Sage Tablets.”

“Do you have them?” Fang Zhengzhi squinted.

“Not all of them. However, I know where the rest are located. Given your current strength, I believe that it wouldn’t be difficult for you to retrieve them as long as I told you where they are.” Yun Qingwu shook her head and replied.

“Are you really sure that I’d be interested in the Heaven Dao Sage Tablets?”

“Maybe not the tablets themselves, but I believe that you’d surely be interested in the product when you combine all 36 Heaven Dao Sage Tablets together.”

“Combine them together?” Fang Zhengzhi’s interest was piqued.

“Yes.”

“What would they become?”

“Thirty-six Maps of Access to Heaven. The real Thirty-six Maps of Access to Heaven!”

“That sounds decent. Having said that, how could I trust you?” Fang Zhengzhi nodded at this point in time and his smile grew brighter.

“I could give you three tablets first to prove my sincerity.”

“Do you have them with you?”

“Yes!”

“Where?”

“I will give them to you after you let me go.”

“Do you really think I’d fall for that? Let you go? You have plenty of defensive treasures with you, don’t you? I don’t want to take that risk.” Fang Zhengzhi was definitely not falling for it.

“Then… You could do it yourself.” Yun Qingwu gritted her teeth when she heard that. Then, she seemed to have bit the bullet.

“Yeah, that’s right. Where did you hide them?”

“At my…” Yun Qingwu’s voice obviously became much softer halfway through her sentence.

“Where?”

“My… There’s a pendant… At an inch below my neck.” Yun Qingwu continued with determination. However, she blushed at the last part of her sentence.

“An inch? Below your neck… Er!” Fang Zhengzhi glanced at where she said it was and he blushed too.

That was because he finally knew Yun Qingwu’s expression looked so unnatural. The place where she had hidden the tablets was extremely private.

So…

Here comes the question.

Should he take the three Heaven Dao Sage Tablets there were right before him?
