750 Yin Yang Eye, Strange Scenes (1/2)

For the first time, the woman's heart trembled. While this was her first time meeting Fang Zhengzhi, something stirred in her heart…

The man opposite her was a highly unstable element in the Holy Region.

Most importantly, the Yin Yang Hall was now his enemy. Even if he had nothing to do with Wan Lei's death, he was surely responsible for Shi Fan's demise.

To form an alliance?

Or to kill?

This was an extremely difficult choice because, with the current position of the Yin Yang Hall, there was no way it would submit to Fang Zhengzhi.

Hence, with Fang Zhengzhi's brazen attitude, how could the Yin Yang Hall make an alliance with him? Furthermore, how could they convince their disciples to accept it?

It was extremely difficult!

However, if they chose to kill him…

With Fang Zhengzhi's current strength, only a few elders working together could fight him. Furthermore, they would only have a 50% chance of victory.

After all, Fang Zhengzhi killed five Sages consecutively earlier on.

Hence, killing Fang Zhengzhi would not be easy too.

For an unstable element like him, allying with him was difficult, killing him was even more difficult. What would the presence of someone like him mean for the Holy Region?

She rarely worried about any particular matter. However, this time, she was truly worried.

Of course, after spending some time thinking about it, she opened her mouth to speak again. This time, her words were simple and direct. ”Walk east from this pavilion and you will see a stone pavilion called the 'Thousand Herb Hall'. Every seven days, master will choose to cultivate pills during the 'opportune moment'. Right now, it is close to his cultivation period.”

”It's already the seventh day?” Fang Zhengzhi narrowed his eyes into slits. He wanted to find out what the woman was really thinking but her expression was calm. It was so calm until he could not see anything wrong with it. He had no choice but to believe her.

”Yes, after tonight, it'll be time for master to cultivate his pills,” said the woman as she nodded her head. Her face was serious and she seemed as if she was making an important decision.

”Why are you telling me this?” Fang Zhengzhi asked.

”Because this is your last chance to defeat master. Afterward, you can bring him away from the Yin Yang Hall and find someone who is well-versed in alchemy too, such as the Heavenly Oasis Saint from the Shadow Sect. Under his supervision, you can force master to save Yan Xiu!” The woman said calmly.

”Get Heavenly Oasis to monitor him?” Fang Zhengzhi finally understood. Indeed, like what the woman had said, this was his only way of saving Yan Xiu.

However, if he wanted to defeat Dao Hun…

It was akin to fighting the entire Yin Yang Hall alone.

Could he do it?

”No one comes to my pavilion other than master. You can put Yan Xiu here temporarily. Then, you can go there alone,” the woman continued.

Fang Zhengzhi fell silent. He did not reply to the woman and he did not ask any more question. All he did was to look at the sky outside the pavilion quietly.

Millions of stars twinkled and the moon was out in her full glory.

It was a beautiful scene, particularly in the mountains. As he looked, it was as if a huge hand had placed the moon in the sky.

”It seems like… you don't dare to go?” The woman looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who was silent, and said disrespectfully to him after a while.

Fang Zhengzhi looked away from the night sky and then, he looked at the woman. A smile crept across his face.

”So beautiful!” When Fang Zhengzhi said that, his eyes became calm once more. The pavilion turned icy-cold once more.

”What's so beautiful?!” The woman looked at Fang Zhengzhi's smile and her heart quivered. She did not know if he was talking about the night sky or about her.

Of course, none of this was important. Most importantly, she saw the metal stick appear in Fang Zhengzhi's hands again. He lifted it high up into the air.

”What are you doing?!”

”Thump!”

A loud thud answered her.

Then, the woman felt the world around her spin. Everything turned dark but of course, she could still see a man smiling at her.

The woman did not know what was going to happen next. However, she knew that the man who stood opposite her was definitely shameless.

Furthermore, he was a shameless person who did not care about anything!

She could not guess what he would do. At the same time, she did not want to guess.

Silence.

When the woman collapsed on the ground once more, the pavilion became silent. Fang Zhengzhi looked at the moon hanging in the sky.

”Tonight is so beautiful!”

As he said that, Fang Zhengzhi carried the woman up from the ground. Then, he slowly walked over to the bed in the room.

He carefully placed her next to Yan Xiu.

Fang Zhengzhi's gaze moved from her to Yan Xiu. On Yan Xiu's face, he could see a paleness that came from his bones.

Even though Yan Xiu's face had a cold look on it.

However, this was a weak cold look. He was like a blade of grass as winter approached. Shriveled and coated with frost, it did not know if he would get to see spring next year, or if it would make it through.

However, Fang Zhengzhi clenched his fists at this moment. His smile disappeared and look of seriousness replaced it. It was a resolute and serious look.

He said nothing.

In front of Yan Xiu, he knew that there was nothing he needed to say. Yan Xiu would know what decision he was going to make.

Hopeless?

Fighting the entire Yin Yang Hall alone?

Yes, for someone who was a tad more intelligent, he would know what to do. However, so what? Fang Zhengzhi did not need intelligence now.

He just needed to know…

For some matters, he would surely do them.

Fang Zhengzhi turned around and the blanket on the bed flew up. Then, it spread and covered Yan Xiu and the woman underneath it.

…

The Great Xia Dynasty, the Wintry Land.
