846 Did You Screw Her or Did She Screw You (1/2)

”Help Fang Zhengzhi? Are you trying to…” Yan Xiu was somewhat dazed. He glanced at the one-sided battle again and his expression quickly changed a little.

”Yes. This Heaven Alliance Meeting's Martial Arts Competition will affect the future prospects of the Holy Region. Yin Yang Hall must become the final victor. Xiu… Are you willing to do it?” Dao Xin replied and nodded softly with a complicated expression on her face. She seemed eager but also unwilling.

”The final victor…” Instead of answering her question immediately, Yan Xiu quietly looked at Dao Xin as if he was contemplating.

”Xiu, I know that you wouldn't do such a thing given your personality. However, if you don't do this, once Fang Zhengzhi wins the competition, I'm afraid that Yin Yang Hall's future may be…”

”Do I have to do this?” Yan Xiu interrupted Dao Xin.

”Yes.” Dao Xin nodded again.

Yan Xiu fell silent again, but not for long. He suddenly asked, ”Could you tell me why Fang Zhengzhi wants to kill you?”

”It's because of… You!” Dao Xin trembled, but she quickly answered with certainty.

”Because of me?” Yan Xiu was startled and his expression finally changed.

In fact, even Dao Hun and several other Yin Yang Hall's elders' expressions changed visibly after they heard Dao Xin. They looked like they wanted to say something, but they eventually held their tongues after seeing Dao Xin's eye gesture.

Dao Xin replied at this moment, ”Yes, it's because of you. However, the details are too complicated and there isn't time to tell you everything at the moment. However, you should know that it was Hallmaster and I who saved your life.”

”Ok… I understand.” Yan Xiu nodded softly after hearing her. He took a step forward without asking another question.

His robe swayed in the mountain breeze.

Without much hesitation, Yan Xiu bolted towards the altar after taking a step forward. His eyes even turned completely black in an instant.

”Yan Xiu?!”

”Why did he come out?”

”Is Yin Yang Hall going to help Nangong Hao?”

All the surrounding disciples were astonished to see Yan Xiu bolting towards the altar. After all, no one knew what he was going to do when he rushed out at this moment.

”No, Yan Xiu is charging towards Nangong Hao!” Although the disciples were a little taken aback, they quickly discovered that Yan Xiu's target was Nangong Hao instead of Fang Zhengzhi.

Boom!

Nangong Hao, who was already exhausted, immediately took five steps back. A hint of surprise appeared in his bloody eyes.

However, it disappeared quickly.

That was because he saw Yan Xiu.

Although Yan Xiu looked a little strange at the moment because of his unreasonable coldness, his appearance didn't change significantly.

”Have you finally decided to join the fight?” Nangong Hao's tone was chilling. The cloth behind his back was completely drenched in sweat because he had expended an enormous amount of his strength.

”You don't seem to be very surprised, do you?” Yan Xiu stood at where Nangong Hao was standing and slowly took out a Silver Blood Fan.

”Surprised? Haha, I'd be surprised if anyone else joined the fight, but why would I be surprised if it's you?” Nangong Hao's lips curled into a ruthless smile, but he gripped his Wuwei Sword tighter.

He didn't know how strong Yan Xiu was currently. After all, Yan Xiu's fight had already ended when he arrived.

However, Yan Xiu's previous blow had shown that his offensive power had long surpassed a normal Sage.

'Did…'

'Yan Xiu become a Sage as well?'

Nangong Hao was angry but he looked somewhat bitter. After all, everyone knew about Yan Xiu and Fang Zhengzhi's relationship.

Of course, that was Nangong Hao's perspective. The Five Sects of the Holy Region that had witnessed Yan Xiu's fight didn't share the same idea.

”Is Yin Yang Hall trying to steal the credit?” Mo Shanshi squinted and naturally looked towards Dao Xin and Dao Hun.

However, both of their expressions were hidden beneath their mask and veil.

”What is Yin Yang Hall… Trying to do?” Mu Qingfeng also frowned. After all, no one would think that Yin Yang Hall was simply trying to 'help' by sending Yan Xiu out at this instance.

Meanwhile, at Shadow Sect, Yan Qianli looked equally confused as he said, ”Didn't Xiu'er lose his memory? Why would he join the fight now? Is it possible that he didn't lose his memory?”

Yan Qianli couldn't wrap his head around this. After all, he was subconsciously hoping that Yan Xiu didn't lose his memory as Heavenly Oasis Saint had claimed.

”I'm afraid that it's Dao Xin's instruction!” Heavenly Oasis Saint's eyes lit up as he glanced at Dao Xin.

”Old man, I can't agree with that. I'd personally educated Xiu'er since he was young, so how could he not know right from wrong? I don't believe that he would blindly follow a woman's command without a good reason!” Yan Qianli rebutted.

”His personality would obviously change after losing his memory. How does that have anything to do with your education?” Heavenly Oasis Saint also argued.

”Personality is the core of a man, just like the roots of a tree. How can it change so easily?”

”Old man Yan, you're being unreasonable!”

”Regardless, I don't believe that Xiu'er would do something against his conscience!”

”Master, Lord Yan, do you two have to keep quarreling?” Wu Yuer chimed in at this moment with a helpless expression.

”Fine fine fine, we'll stop.” Heavenly Oasis Saint smiled bitterly when he heard her and stopped arguing. However, he was visibly worried as he gazed at Yan Xiu and said, ”I hope old man Yan is right this time…”

…

While the surrounding disciples were shocked and Yan Qianli was arguing with Heavenly Oasis Saint, Bai Fei, the young man who had been sitting at the front of Nine Pinnacles Mountain's corner, was tapping the armrest of his chair softly.

Thud, thud…

It was calm and the pause between each thud was completely identical. This meant that his state of mind was as calm as water and completely unaffected by the change in the situation.

As compared to Bai Fei's calmness, Fang Zhengzhi seemed a little carefree.

He retracted his hill-like armor and bounced towards Yan Xiu. It didn't feel like he was engaged in a life or death battle at all.

”You're here, Yan Xiu. Nangong Hao is about to go down, let's beat him together!” Fang Zhengzhi smiled brightly at Yan Xiu as he said that.

”Together? Why would you invite me to join you? Don't you mind my involvement at this moment?” Yan Xiu was a little startled and his expression was somewhat awkward.

”Mind? Why would I mind?” Fang Zhengzhi scanned Yan Xiu from head to toe with a puzzled look.

”You don't mind?” Yan Xiu appeared to be unconvinced.

”By the way, there is something that's on my mind. What exactly did Dao Xin do to you? You actually stopped me from killing her, and you even seemed to have joined Yin Yang Hall?” Fang Zhengzhi asked in a curious tone.
