Gate of God

Chapter 885: A Place He Grew Up

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yun Qingwu’s plan was very simple: make use of Fang Zhengzhi, the “rat in the sewers” to stir up matters in the seemingly calm and peaceful Holy Region.

That was because Yun Qingwu was very certain that although the Five Sects of the Holy Region each represented a region, there were too many disputes involving interests.

Fang Zhengzhi came.

He would naturally stir up the situation. However, the most he could do was to create the ordinary disputes amongst the disciples of the five sects, or at best, amongst the elders.

Such events were not common in the Holy Region, but it was after all only some friction and disputes amongst humans. Although it made some disruption, it would not result in any larger problems. After all, the Five Sects of the Holy Region must have had a certain level of tolerance in order to be established for thousands of years.

In order to make the five sects fight a large-scale battle...

Was basically impossible!

However, the ‘black box’ on Fang Zhengzhi could make things different. The destruction of the Heaven Book Pond in the Heaven Dao Pavilion and the Nine Heavens definitely spread through the entire Holy Region.

As such, Fang Zhengzhi who was scurrying in the Holy Region with the black box and the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet would naturally become the target of the Five Sects of the Holy Region.

At that point in time, any sect who caught Fang Zhengzhi would invite trouble because Fang Zhengzhi had the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet with him.

This was the most important factor!

Although the Five Sects of the Holy Region would not fight a large-scale battle because of interpersonal friction, they would definitely do something if the nine Heaven Dao Sage Tablets from the Heaven Dao Pavilion were involved.

That was the initial plan of Yun Qingwu.

To use Fang Zhengzhi as the “bait” to cause disruption to the Five Sects of the Holy Region, then continue stirring up matters behind the scenes and ultimately sit back and enjoy success.

Of course, there was a small accident in this plan.

Yan Xiu’s life was in danger.

In such a situation, Fang Zhengzhi had made an unexpected decision: to exchange his life for Yan Xiu’s survival.

As such, the battle amongst the five sects did not go as planned.

However, Yun Qingwu being Yun Qingwu, although things did not go as planned, she still had ways to fulfill her plans.

It was entering the Great Swamp.

The final outcome was not too different.

Fang Zhengzhi did not die. Not only did he not die, he had caused a few of the elders in the Nine Pinnacles Mountain to suffer heavy injuries. This gave Yun Qingwu another chance to break through.

To use Nine Pinnacles Mountain as a breakthrough point to tear apart the alliance between the Five Sects of the Holy Region.

...

Although the sun was shining bright, the wind made it slightly cold.

Perhaps this cold was not from the wind on the mountains but also from the killer aura and intense chilling aura that Fang Zhengzhi exuded.

Towards Yun Qingwu...

Fang Zhengzhi had all along felt complicated.

If Yun Qingwu was not the Demon Young Lord or the Young Empress of the monster race, things would not have progressed as such. Nevertheless, he could not change the facts.

The stand taken would be different with different factions.

Boom! A loud sound was emitted from the top of the Tree of God. Three rays of purple light, each ray as bright as the sun, shone in the sky.

The ten elders of the demon race widened their eyes.

They knew that Fang Zhengzhi was powerful, yet they could not accept the fact that the eighteen-year old was so powerful.

However, no matter whether they choose to accept the fact or not, Fang Zhengzhi had completely suppressed them.

The violent killer aura was pressing them on their heads and the three rays of purple light, with an extremely fast speed, had made three slits between them.

Crack! One of the elders’ arm was broken by the purple light. Blood splattered and landed on some of the white flowers on the Tree of God.

Beside him, the other two rays of purple light had forced two other elders of the demon race away. A scar, deep till the extent that bones were revealed, could be seen on each of the elders’ chest.

One of the elders fell straight on the ground. The golden demon eye split from the center and a crystal-like substance flowed out from it.

One strike!

Two injured and one died!

Even Monster Emperor Baizhi was unable to achieve such a sharp move. That was because this strike was made when Fang Zhengzhi was facing ten elders of the demon race.

Of course, Fang Zhengzhi had blood stains on his body too.

While Fang Zhengzhi charged towards the elders of the demon race, one of them ran to the back of Fang Zhengzhi and slapped him from the back.

On the other hand, another elder went into a strange position and made use of a special weapon that was shaped like a moon hook to create an incision on Fang Zhengzhi’s right leg.

However, what surprised the elders of the demon race was the fact that Fang Zhengzhi did not seem to be too bothered by his injuries. In fact, with the slap on his back, he managed to use his body to forcefully break apart the defence made by the ten elders of the demon race.

It happened very quickly.

So quickly that the sages and the disciples of the various sects could not see the scene clearly. However, they saw one of the elders die on the spot.

“So... so powerful!”

The sages and the disciples of the various sects, as well as the Monster Kings all widened their eyes and had the same thought.

Facing the ten elders of the demon race...

He managed to break through with one strike of his sword!

How terrifying was that!

However, things did not seem to end because of that. After breaking through the defence, Fang Zhengzhi continued to attack using his Traceless Sword.

Humm! A clear sound of the sword was heard.

Like a giant purple dragon that dived down from midair, the strike carried an overwhelmingly strong killing intent. At the instant when the purple sword light appeared, it had already struck.

From the start to the end, it did not even take a blink of an eye.

It was a strike with the ultimate speed!

The target of the strike was none other than Yun Qingwu. Finding a gap between the elders of the demon race, Fang Zhengzhi immediately struck towards Yun Qingwu’s heart.

“Looks like... You really want me to die...” Yun Qingwu began to tremble slightly as she stared at the purple sword radiance directed towards her.

She did not retreat, neither did she dart or try to protect herself.

Yun Qingwu stared at the purple sword radiance calmly. Her expression portrayed a struggle within her, as though she wanted to seek for relief but was unable to do so.

Slash! The sword light cut through a body and fresh blood splattered across the sky.

However, the person who was stabbed was not Yun Qingwu, it was an elder of the demon race who stood out and used his body to block the attack.

It was evident on the elder’s face that he was in agony. However, he also looked happy and relieved.

“Fang Zhengzhi, you are powerful, but you will not be able to kill Young Lord!” Blood flowed from the mouth of the elder of the demon race as he gripped tightly on the Traceless Sword which had penetrated his chest.

He was not as fast as Fang Zhengzhi, nor could he block the extremely fast strike made by Fang Zhengzhi. Yet, he could use his hands to catch the sword.

That was because after the sword had entered his body, it would not be able to move. Therefore, he could grip onto the sword.

Fang Zhengzhi stopped moving.

His Traceless Sword was held tightly by the elder of the demon race. The two hands of the elder were like metal shackles that were shackled on the Traceless Sword.

This was a protective willpower.

From the eyes of the elder of the demon race, Fang Zhengzhi saw happiness, a happiness that exuded after he had managed to protect someone important.

Furthermore, he could hear sharp sounds of wind beside his ears. The wind was so near and fast that it made his ears hurt.

“Ah!!!” Fang Zhengzhi let out a long howl and kicked the chest of the elder standing in front of him. Blood splattered again. It was the blood after the Traceless Sword had cut the two hands.

Boom!

At Fang Zhengzhi’s initial position, four or five light rays rose. Some rose from the bottom and some came from the top.

With the collision of the light rays, a huge air wave was produced.

This was the attack sprung by the other few elders of the demon race while Fang Zhengzhi paused his attack. Each of the attack sprung was terrifyingly powerful.

Fang Zhengzhi managed to avoid these attacks.

That was because he had managed to move at least two steps backwards after he kicked the chest of the elder.

Plop! The elder of the demon race who had blocked the attack of the sword with his body fell to the ground.

However, the other elders of the demon race had gathered together with Yun Qingwu behind them. Each of them portrayed a face of perseverance.

As the elders in the demon race whose status were second only to that of the Demon Emperor...

All of them were more experienced than Yun Qingwu. Yun Qingwu had to even bow to them respectfully when they met.

Yet, none of them retreated. Even the two elders who fell to the ground did not show any sense of hatred or fear.

That was because they were protecting Yun Qingwu.

The future hope of the demon race was also the only hope for the collaboration between the monster race and the devil race.

Therefore, none of the status were important.

They could die.

But not Yun Qingwu.

“Fang Zhengzhi, you won’t be able to kill Young Lord. Even if you kill us all, you won’t be able to kill Young Lord!” The elders of the demon race said in unison, their expressions as firm as ever.

Roar!

Roar...

“Fang Zhengzhi, kill us before you even think of killing Young Empress!”

After the elders of the demon race spoke, dozens of Monster Kings also made noises, some were beastly roars while others were spoken words.

Afterwards, the dozens of monster kings started moving.

Like the torrent that covered the sky and earth, they swarmed towards Fang Zhengzhi. Each of the Monster Kings moved with extremely fast speeds and had the same determination in their eyes.

It was a sudden scene.

It was so sudden that the sages and the disciples of the various sects could not react.

Even after Monster Emperor Baizhi met a crisis and was trapped by Mu Qingfeng and Fang Zhengzhi, the monster kings did not react the same way.

Yet, when Yun Qingwu encountered danger, they all disregarded the fight with the sages and surged towards Fang Zhengzhi.

“Why did this happen?!”

“Unless, to the monster kings, Yun Qingwu is more important than Monster Emperor Baizhi?”

The sages and the disciples of the various sects could not figure out why.

Yet, they understood it very quickly. The reason was not due to the level of importance, but rather the status of Yun Qingwu now.

Even though the monster race was powerful, they were trapped in the Great Swamp by humankind and could never escape.

With this kind of life, the future of monster race was non-existent.

However, Yun Qingwu changed this.

In other words, only Yun Qingwu could change this.

After bringing the monster race out of the Great Swamp, she built the solid alliance between the monster race and the demon race. They achieved success again and again, bringing hope to the monster race.

Therefore, how would they ever let their hopes perish?

“Fang Zhengzhi, do you understand now? It is not about whether I am willing to die under your sword, in fact, your sword will not be able to kill me!” Yun Qingwu’s voice could be heard behind the elders of the demon race. It sounded very calm, yet there was a hint of sigh that came from the bottom of her heart.

“You brat, stop stoning and attack!”

“Kill Yun Qingwu, we are helping you!”

Mo Shanshi and Yan Yin’s voices could be heard.

As their voices resonated through the air, a beam of silvery white light struck with a very fast speed in between the ten elders of the demon race.

It was Qian Yu!

Qian Yu had not spoken a word since the start.

However, the two swords in her hands was already in front of one of the elders’ chest, her silvery white dress flowing in the chilly wind.

Fang Zhengzhi tightened his grip on the Traceless Sword.

He took a glance at the elders of the demon race in front of him, then to the Monster Kings who had dashed up from beneath, then towards Monster Emperor Baizhi who was charging towards him.

Everything seemed to be telling him: It was really difficult to kill Yun Qingwu.

So what?

Although it looked as if it was impossible to kill her, he had to give it a shot. It may be for the sake of Yan Xiu who was still in a coma; it may be for Chi Guyan who was severely injured or Ping Yang who was still unconscious; or it could be for Wu Yuer who was still battling with all her might.

There were more people around him. Emperor Lin Mubai, Prince Xian Lin Yun, the dying Nangong Mu, Marquis Xing Yuanguo who was in Great Xia, as well as the future of Stablisation Constabulary Xing Qingsui.

Also...

Northern Mountain Village, the place where he grew up!

There were his mother and father in this current life.

No matter what is it for.

Fang Zhengzhi felt that he should at least give it a shot.
