Chapter 758: The Price of Fang Zhengzhi’s Growth.

“Boom!” The Traceless Sword finally landed and split the entire Endless Sea Domain into two.

Blood turned the seawater red. The stunning scene left the entire Yin Yang Hall dead silent.

The fifth elder was pale as a sheet. He looked at the Endless Sea Domain which was split into two, and then at the great elder, Mo Yu, who was standing beside him. His lips couldn’t help trembling.

He knew that if Mo Yu didn’t come to his rescue at the last minute, he would have been split into two just like the Endless Sea Domain.

“This fellow is really… Powerful!” The fifth elder didn’t say that loudly, but all the disciples heard him clearly.

“You’re right!’ Mo Yu nodded.

“Great elder, we can’t hesitate anymore!”

“Yeah…” The great elder nodded again. He looked at Fang Zhengzhi with a firm expression and said, “Since it has come to this, we can’t spare his life!”

“Please kill him, great elder!”

“Yes, please do it!”

“Kill him and restore Yin Yang Hall’s reputation!”

The three others elders spoke in unison.

“Kill him!”

“Yeah!”

“Kill!”

The disciples of Yin Yang Hall chimed in after they regained their composure.

“So that’s how Yin Yang Hall restores its reputation!” A voice came from the sky, and a crimson flash descended before Fang Zhengzhi and continued, “Mo Yu, the great elder of Yin Yang Hall, a renowned master for over 100 years. At the peak of Sage State, you still have to combine forces with three elders to fight a junior at Rebirth State. I have never heard of such a method to restore one’s reputation!”

“How dare you! Do you think you can sneak into Yin Yang Hall as you wish?” The sixth elder yelled at the person who suddenly appeared before Fang Zhengzhi.

“Sneak? No, that’s not what I’m doing. I’m announcing my entrance!” The person then turned towards Fang Zhengzhi and said, “Since you’re here for my grandson, how can I, Yan Qianli, be absent?”

“Yan Qianli?”

“He is Great Xia Dynasty’s previous Prince Yan!”

“That’s right. I’ve heard that he has recently entered the Sage State. He was also part of the battle at Heaven Dao Pavilion previously. He’s part of Shadow Sect!”

The disciples realized who the person was after hearing what he said.

“Yan Qianli? The previous Prince Yan, haha… Prince Yan, are you here because you think that you can save Fang Zhengzhi by yourself?” The sixth elder scoffed at him.

“How would I know without trying?’ Yan Qianli scoffed back.

“Oh? Very well, I shall test your strength!” The sixth elder glanced at the two injured elders and then stepped out.

“If you want to test Old Yan’s strength, don’t forget about me!” Another person descended from the sky. It was a white-haired man wearing a plain long robe and holding a fly-whisk.

He was none other than Heavenly Oasis Saint.

“Heavenly Oasis?’ The sixth elder frowned and looked up at the sky. He furrowed his brows even more and a cold flash zoomed past his eyes as he said, “It seems like… The rumour about the battle at Heaven Dao Pavilion is true!”

“The battle at Heaven Dao Pavilion?”

“Rumour?”

“It’s true?”

The disciples were confused by the sixth elder’s words, but they looked towards the sky instinctively as well.

Then… they were stunned by what they saw.

At this moment, there was a massive cloud coming towards them. The cloud was formed by countless beasts, each with a person standing on top of its back.

“Heavenly Oasis, do you want to challenge Yin Yang Hall right after you’ve angered Heaven Dao Pavilion? Aren’t you afraid that Shadow Sect will be destroyed?” The sixth elder spoke again, but his voice was obviously trembling.

The battle between the 3000 disciples of Shadow Sect and those of Heaven Dao Pavilion had already been known throughout the entire Holy Region. In that case, he didn’t think that Shadow Sect had come here to fight a losing fight.

“I am!” Heavenly Oasis Saint responded immediately.

“You’re afraid? Then why don’t you screw off!”

“Old Six!” Mo Yu interrupted the sixth elder. He looked at Heavenly Oasis Saint and Yan Qianli and asked, “Heavenly Oasis, Prince Yan, is the battle between Shadow Sect and Yin Yang Hall really unavoidable?”

“Yes!” Yan Qianli nodded directly.

“Well…” Heavenly Oasis Saint wanted to say something, but he shook his head after hearing Yan Qianli. “It is obviously unavoidable. Since I’ve come all the way here, I can’t return empty-handed, right? You can either let Fang Zhengzhi go or fight against us!”

“Very well, a battle it is!” Mo Yu nodded too. He rushed towards Heavenly Oasis Saint and Yan Qianli without saying another word.

Heavenly Oasis Saint blinked his eyes, surprised that the Mo Yu was already nearing him.

“Damn it… Are you going to fight us now? My people aren’t here yet, can’t you wait for them!”

“Save your nonsense for later, let’s go!” A crimson spear appeared in Yan Qianli’s hands as he said that. He brandished the spear towards Mo Yu.

Heavenly Oasis Saint also gritted his teeth at this moment and swept towards Mo Yu with his fly-whisk.

Just then, Mo Yu’s body suddenly disappeared.

In the next moment, the entire Endless Sea Domain started seething. The seawater that was split into two by Fang Zhengzhi joined up again, and many vortexes appeared in the waves.

Many streams of blue light shot out of the Endless Sea Domain. Those were sea snakes created by the sea water. Their blue fangs glared coldly under the sun.

“Sea Domain Burial Ground!” At Mo Yu’s command, countless sea snakes bolted towards Yan Qianli and Heavenly Oasis Saint.

Both their expressions changed.

They both knew that Mo Yu was as powerful as the sect leaders of the five sects in the Holy Region. He was one of the strongest experts in the Holy Region.

However, it felt different when they actually faced him in a fight.

He was too powerful!

Their strengths weren’t on the same level at all!

Heavenly Oasis Saint retracted his fly-whisk to defend himself, but he couldn’t get rid of all the sea snakes that came for him.

“Boom!” A sea snake bit into his arm, turning his face purple. His body couldn’t help but trembled. “It’s venomous… No, this is a spiritual attack!”

“I know that!” Yan Qianli replied and looked at Fang Zhengzhi. “Hurry up and leave?! We can’t hold on for much longer!”

Fang Zhengzhi didn’t say a word, but he tightened his grip on the Traceless Sword. He obviously knew why Yan Qianli and Heavenly Oasis Saint were here.

“Should I leave Yan Qianli and Heavenly Oasis Saint behind, and take Dao Hun away?”

As long as he had Dao Hun in his hands, Yan Qianli and Heavenly Oasis Saint wouldn’t be killed. However, could Fang Zhengzhi really do that?

He couldn’t do that!

How could he leave Heavenly Oasis Saint behind?

If he left Heavenly Oasis Saint in Yin Yang Hall, there would be no one left to make sure that Dao Hun couldn’t pull any dirty tricks while trying to save Yan Xiu.

Similarly, he couldn’t leave Yan Qianli behind.

This was because Fang Zhengzhi couldn’t possibly tell Yan Xiu that he had left his grandfather in Yin Yang Hall.

Therefore, Fang Zhengzhi couldn’t run away.

“Die!” The disciples of Shadow Sect finally descended from the sky. The wind blew their hats away, and their swords shone chillingly in the sunlight.

“Die!” The disciples of Yin Yang Hall also joined the battle. All kinds of radiances lit up on their bodies as they welcomed their opponents with their swords.

This seemed to be a chaotic war.

However, there was a one-sided battle going on in one corner. The sixth elder of Yin Yang Hall was there, so were the injured fifth elder, and the two elders from Nine Pinnacles Mountain.

There were also a dozen Yin Yang Hall’s disciples. Many complicated symbols glittered on their foreheads.

All of them were Sages.

As one of the five sects in Holy Region, Yin Yang Hall had accumulated its power for thousands of years. It was incomparable to a rising power like Shadow Sect.

The scent of blood filled the air.

Although Shadow Sect had outnumbered Yin Yang Hall completely, the outcome was determined at the moment the disciples at Sage State joined the battle.

“Fang Zhengzhi you bastard, I’ve risked everything for you. If you don’t run away now, you’ll never be able to!” Heavenly Oasis Saint was pissed that Fang Zhengzhi hadn’t moved an inch.

“Why did you guys come?” Fang Zhengzhi finally said something.

“If we didn’t come, can you get out alive?” Heavenly Oasis Saint replied with a question.

“Even if you came, I wouldn’t be able to get out alive!”

“That’s not necessarily true. We have to try. Isn’t that what you have always said?” Heavenly Oasis Saint’s body shook violently as he said that. He could barely stand.

However, for some reason, he didn’t back away, and he didn’t even complain. He just gritted his teeth and kept holding on.

“We have to try… That’s what I’ve always said…” Fang Zhengzhi tightened his grip again, and his nails turned white from the pressure. Blood dripped off his nails and fell into the sea.

Heavenly Oasis Saint right, he had said that many times before. He said it at Great Xia Dynasty’s Dao Exam, in the Throne Room, on the battlefield in the Southern Region, and also in Flame Capital City…

Fang Zhengzhi treated it as the motto of his life. He tried courageously even if the task before him seemed impossible.

However, for some reason, he was doubting himself now.

“Can I really try to do everything?”

Fang Zhengzhi looked up. He saw the disciples of Shadow Sect collapsing one after another. Their blood painted the ground red, but none of them took a step back.

They swung their swords relentlessly.

However, all their efforts were fruitless because they faced a dozen Sages. They dropped to the ground, continuously.

One after another, Shadow Sect’s disciples turned into corpses.

“Am I wrong? Was it a mistake to come here?” For the first time, Fang Zhengzhi didn’t know if he made the right choice.

In Great Xia Dynasty, he did whatever he wanted to, and he survived every single time. He even managed to do his country a great service in the end.

That made him over-confident.

He thought that it would be the same in the Holy Region too…

He thought that he could act on his impulse and wander around freely. Most importantly, since he didn’t have much time left, he felt that this was the only way he could stay alive.

He did things in his own way.

Therefore, during the entrance exam at Heaven Dao Pavilion, he willfully acted as Heaven Dao Pavilion’s disciple because he thought that he was helping Yan Xiu.

However, what had actually happened, was that Yan Xiu was almost controlled by the Fallen Asura during that battle. If Chi Guyan didn’t make it in time, he probably would have turned into a Fallen Asura already.

That was the result of his wilfulness.

If not for him, Yan Xiu’s Origin Energy wouldn’t be sealed away, and he wouldn’t have been held hostage by the three Sages of Black Moon Island.

Yet now, in order to save Yan Xiu, he came to Yin Yang Hall alone, thinking that he was capable of kidnapping Dao Hun by himself. However, he dragged the entire Shadow Sect into this mess as a result.

There was blood was far as he could see.

“I’ll be dead in two months…” Fang Zhengzhi looked up at the sky. The sun was beautiful, but it was tainted by the scent of blood. “Yan Xiu, tell me, am I really wrong… The Holy Region is nothing like Great Xia Dynasty. I was too self-righteous, and my wilfulness caused you to end up like this. I thought that I had to be different from the rest if I wanted to change my fate. However, I didn’t consider your feelings. You can’t allow me to suffer alone. Yan Xiu, I’m sorry, I am truly wrong. However, I really want to save you now, I really… Really…”
