979 The Truth Behind Dao Hun’s Death (1/2)

”If I don't speak… Dao Hun will die…” Dao Xin clenched her fist and kept silent. She had too many questions and doubts regarding Fang Zhengzhi's question.

That was because she did not expect Fang Zhengzhi's question and was not mentally prepared at all.

Why was ”Meng Tian” interested in Yan Xiu's memory?

Dao Xin did not understand how two people who were not related could be linked together. Moreover, Yan Xiu's status was not prominent amongst the Human Alliance.

”You don't have much time to think.” At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi's voice was heard again before he started counting down. ”Three!”

”Two!”

”One!”

”…”

”Haha, Senior Meng Tian, I think you misunderstood. What's wrong with Yan Xiu's memory?” Dao Xin started laughing when Fang Zhengzhi counted to one.

”It seems like you are not concerned with Dao Hun's life.” Fang Zhengzhi turned to look at Dao Hun and a long sword appeared in his hand.

”I am sure the Yin Yang Hall and the Human Alliance know my answer to the question regarding if I am concerned with Dao Hun's life. However, I seriously don't understand you, there's absolutely nothing wrong with Yan Xiu's memory, so why are you talking about his memory being sealed or removed?” Dao Xin but her lips as she saw the long sword in Fang Zhengzhi's hand.

Evidently, she was taking a gamble.

She was not gambling about whether Fang Zhengzhi knew about Yan Xiu's memory as the answer was obvious when Fang Zhengzhi asked the question.

Dao Xin was gambling about the relationship between ”Meng Tian” and Yan Xiu.

She did not know whether the two of them were related but after recalling how Yan Xiu attacked ”Meng Tian”, she had a feeling that it was slightly different from the sneak attacks by Dao Hun and the elders.

Yan Xiu was indeed powerful. However, as compared to Dao Hun?

He was still lagging behind.

However, the truth was that Yan Xiu had defeated ”Meng Tian” with a slap and got Dao Hun back from ”Meng Tian” on his own.

It was unbelievable.

This only proved a point…

”Meng Tian” was showing mercy to Yan Xiu earlier on.

Dao Xin could not figure out why he showed mercy but she was sure that it was related to that person in the Northern Mountain Village.

”Was it because of that sword?” Dao Xin had a relatively good understanding about Fang Zhengzhi and she knew that he once had the chance to get the sword that belonged to Sagely Battle God Meng Tian during the Imperial Examinations in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Fang Zhengzhi and ”Meng Tian” came to some agreement because of a Sword?

Although these were merely her guesses, they were built upon evidence after connecting ”Meng Tian's” actions to these guesses.

Of course, the most important thing was the situation now.

”Meng Tian's” question surprised her so much that she felt a strange feeling of crisis. She felt that everything would end once she revealed the answer.

Not only would she be unable to save Dao Hun, but also may risk ”losing” Yan Xiu.

Then, she would really end up in a desperate situation.

However, if one looked at it in another manner…

At least the person who was genuinely in control of Dao Hun's life was still temporarily Yan Xiu. Even if ”Meng Tian” wanted to attack, he had to defeat Yan Xiu first.

Dao Xin's was relatively intelligent and she knew the lesson of ”placing one in a dangerous situation and one will fight to live”.

Therefore, she was taking a gamble.

She was gambling about how ”Meng Tian” would not kill Yan Xiu so easily since he asked about Yan Xiu's memory. Therefore, Dao Hun, who was in Yan Xiu's hand, would be safe.

Fang Zhengzhi frowned because he already knew the answer.

Dao Xin was gambling with him.

He knew that Dao Xin was hard to deal with all along but did not expect him to be so hard to deal with.

Dao Xin was able to keep her cool even though Dao Hun's life was in a risky situation. This meant that Dao Xin was a rather impressive woman, or rather, a terrifying one.

However, unfortunately, Dao Xin used too much of her intelligence on trying to reap benefits for herself and Yin Yang Hall instead of considering from the point of view of the Human Alliance.

If she used her intelligence correctly, her powers would be comparable to Yun Qingwu.

”The ancient saying goes, one who is born with 'beauty' will have a short life… Dao Xin, you are indeed beautiful. Although your beauty is not conventional beauty, it should still be considered as one. If I am not wrong, you are taking a gamble that I won't dare to kill Yan Xiu, am I right?” Fang Zhengzhi looked up slightly at the beautiful scenery nearby and sighed.

”I… don't dare to! I feel that since Senior Meng Tian wants to prove your identity, you shouldn't kill innocent people. Even if there are misunderstandings, you can afford to clarify them. Dao Hun is not only the Hall Master of the Yin Yang Hall but also the current Alliance Leader of the Human Alliance. Even though he was a little rash in his actions and was disrespectful to you, he had a good intention as he only wanted to clarify your real identity…” Before Dao Xin could complete her sentence, she saw Fang Zhengzhi wave to her.

Then, she heard an exclamation of excitement.

”You are right, indeed, I won't kill Yan Xiu!”

”You won't kill Yan Xiu, indeed…” Dao Xin's expression didn't change but she felt excited. Before she was able to complete her sentence, she saw Fang Zhengzhi charge towards her with his sword.

What?!

Dao Xin's expression changed. Although Fang Zhengzhi was not fast, the coldness on his sword blade was enough to send chills down her back.

”I won't kill Yan Xiu, but that doesn't mean I won't kill you!” His cold roar echoed in the sky and his overwhelming killing intent surged towards Dao Xin.

Rumble!

The purple bolts of lightning fell on the mountain rocks and made loud sounds.

The speed at which Fang Zhengzhi charged towards Dao Xin was not very fast but he did it in an extremely ferocious manner that made Mu Qingfeng and the rest shudder.

”No, Senior Meng Tian!” Mu Qingfeng dashed out. He did not know if he should act at this moment but he knew that if ”Meng Tian” really killed Dao Xin, then the identity of ”Meng Tian” as a monster or demon would be confirmed. Even if it was not confirmed, he had to live by the name of a cruel murderer.

After all, Dao Xin did not do anything bad to ”Meng Tian”.

Moreover, ”Meng Tian” did not kill Dao Xin because of minor disagreements. That was something that Mu Qingfeng could not understand.

However, in reality…

It was also the point which Dao Xin has neglected.

Dao Xin had never expected ”Meng Tian” to attack her as she did not think she made any comments that were disrespectful.

However, regardless of whether she believed it or not, ”Meng Tian” had charged towards her with a killer intent that was fixed on her.

Wait a minute!

Why was he moving so slowly despite his capability?

Wait a minute!

Meng Tian was waiting for someone…

Waiting for someone who would definitely not bear to see her die and would definitely save her!

”Xiu, stay back!” Dao Xin manages to react immediately but it was too late as there was already a pitch black abyss on the ground directly ahead of her.
