Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

The sky darkened as the sun set.

There was a faint glow on the horizon, the first visible constellation of the night. It was the first source of light tonight.

Fang Zhengzhi looked at Chi Guyan. He had heard what she just said.

"I have to save him!"

It was a simple sentence, but Fang Zhengzhi's expression froze. He knew exactly what she meant.

Canyang!

A demon half sage!

Fang Zhengzhi had no idea how powerful this man was, but he knew that there were no weak half sages in the world.

Clearly...

Chi Guyan knew Canyang's power, but she continued to advance. This was despite the fact that she had just been beaten back.

Why?

Fang Zhengzhi couldn't understand.

He wanted to find the reason from Chi Guyan's eyes. However, he had a feeling that Chi Guyan's eyes were illuminated by a constellation.

It looked like the same constellation in the sky.

Was this a hallucination?

Fang Zhengzhi blinked his eyes. When he reopened his eyes, he realized that the constellation had disappeared from her eyes. Her pink dress continued to dance in the light breeze.

Ping Yang was also looking at Chi Guyan, her eyes filled with worry.

"Save him? But you will be going up against a half sage! He is someone who can't die! I heard that he has been a half sage for more than a decade! I doubt you can defeat him either?" Ping Yang was confused.

"Mm, I know." Chi Guyan nodded lightly. She raised her hand and ruffled Ping Yang's hair.

"Then..."

"But I have to save him. Don't you want me to save him?" Chi Guyan shook her head and smiled.

She looked like a blossoming flower, filling the world with her beauty.

Chi Guyan...

The pride of the Divine Constabulary, someone who even the Emperor showed respect to. She was the person who was supposed to fulfill the Heavenly Dao Prophecy.

She had the looks and the ability.

It wasn't a stretch to say that...

No one would be able to match up to her in a decade's time.

But now...

This same girl was telling Canyang in the Southern Region that she was going to save someone from his grasp. Furthermore, she had done it in such a resolute manner.

Ping Yang looked at Chi Guyan and Fang Zhengzhi, her expression conflicted. After some hesitation, she nodded.

"Yes, we must save him!"

...

Chi Guyan smiled rather casually.

It was almost as though she was a flower in full bloom, her beauty filling up the battlefield.

The next moment, she sprang into action.

She shot into the sky like a star, turning into a shooting star in the sky.

Countless silver rays of light fell to the ground.

Those were raindrops.

But they were also lightswords.

The night sky was completely illuminated by the silver light. In an instant, Yun Qingwu and Canyang were completely enveloped in it.

However, Canyang did not move.

He raised his head and 'looked' at the silver light coming down on him. His eyes looked like two bottomless pits.

The silver light crashed into the ground with a deafening boom, creating a crater beneath Canyang's feet.

"The Xuan Heavenly Dao Body is indeed extraordinary!" Canyang's voice rang out. It was frail and aged, but it revealed traces of surprise.

"I always knew that she would come and save you, but I never thought that she would actually come." Yun Qingwu's gaze was locked onto the stars in the sky as she murmured to himself.

That was a self-contradictory statement.

But Fang Zhengzhi had understood it perfectly. He finally understood why Yun Qingwu kept him alive.

"I see, I was just a pawn..." Fang Zhengzhi's heart sank as he looked at the silver light.

He wished that the silver light would engulf him as well.

However, it was clear that...

The silver light rays were avoiding him, almost as though they had eyes and knew where to go.

Fang Zhengzhi knew that this was Chi Guyan controlling the Million Sword Illustration. However, this also meant that she was unable to bring its full force to bear.

"Not only am I a pawn, am I also a liability?" Fang Zhengzhi wished that he was more powerful.

All this while, the only thing he wanted was a carefree and happy life.

Fights?

That was something that he frowned upon. Whenever possible, he would always try to outwit his opponent.

But, when faced with absolute power...

All of his intellect...

Was absolutely meaningless. What he had prided himself on all this while was actually useless.

Use his secret weapons?

How could he do that when he couldn't even move?

Schemes and traps?

What use would that be when his opponent was Yun Qingwu?

Did he really have no other choice?

Could it be...

That his only hope was Chi Guyan?

Fang Zhengzhi wanted to clench his fists, but he couldn't even do that. It was almost as though he had been frozen.

He had been completely immobilized.

He was to wait for death to take him!

Was that his only option?

No, he wanted to live! He wanted to start a family!

"Break!" Fang Zhengzhi screamed as blood rushed to his face. He put everything he had into trying to break this restraint.

He was not going to die in this way!

He was not afraid of death!

But he was not willing to die in such fashion!

"Break, I said break!" The only thing that Fang Zhengzhi could do was speak. Perhaps that was because Yun Qingwu wanted to hear him struggle.

He couldn't clench his fists.

He couldn't move his legs.

All of his efforts were to no avail. Even though Fang Zhengzhi used all his strength, his body refused to move a single inch.

This reminded Fang Zhengzhi of the "Journey to the West". At that time, Sun Wukong was also immobilized in a similar fashion.

The only difference was that Sun Wukong could see the mountain which was immobilizing him, but Fang Zhengzhi couldn't see his restraints!

What kind of Dao was this?!

"Break!" Fang Zhengzhi knew that Canyang was a half sage, but he didn't know that he wielded the Heavenly Rebirth Dao. As such, his only solution was to try and break it.

"Boom!"

A wave of force exploded outwards from Fang Zhengzhi's body.

That was the same force that he had used to fight Nangong Hao to a stalemate for over an hour.

This time...

He was going to use it to break out of the restraints.

A huge boom rocked the battlefield as the power dissipated in all directions.

The force caused Yun Qingwu's dress and Canyang's black cloak to be blown backward.

Yet, Fang Zhengzhi was still rooted to his spot.

He still couldn't move.

However, his actions had attracted the attention of those around him, especially the demons still engaging the enemy.

"Is he trying to escape?"

"Haha... how is he going to go up against Heaven as a human?!"

"What is he thinking?! He has no other choice but to await death patiently. He is just wasting his energy."

"I guess he's just unwilling to accept the facts. But what use is that? With his power, he is just grasping at straws! Let him struggle!"

All of the demons began to mock Fang Zhengzhi as they watched him struggle. They knew what kind of situation Fang Zhengzhi was in.

It was precisely because they knew...

That they found his actions to be incredibly comical.

The Dragon Protection Squad and the Mountain Breaking Army also looked at Fang Zhengzhi helplessly.

Xing Qingsui clenched his fists. He wanted to save Fang Zhengzhi but he knew that he was in no position to.

Xing Yuanguo felt equally helpless. On top of that, he looked like he blamed himself for what happened.

As for Nangong Hao...

He was looking at the silver rain of light as his lips moved slowly, almost as if he was murmuring to himself. However, he could not be heard.

"Third brother, Fang Zhengzhi came here to save the Southern Region, I want to save him!" Princess Shan Yu's eyes were filled with desperation.

"Save? How do you plan to save him?! Don't be silly. He is being held by Canyang and is no different from a dead man. Even Xing Yuanguo is standing on the sidelines! You would be courting death!" Shan Ling replied without hesitation.

"But Chi Guyan... she's already... furthermore... we won't know if we don't try..."

"Shut up sister, don't forget who you are!"

"Brother!"

"You don't have to say anything else. As commander, I am ordering you to lead the defence within the Iron Hill Settlement! Stop the demons from flanking us!"

"Brother..."

"Do not call me brother! I am now the commander! Are you trying to defy a direct order?"

"No, I would not dare!" Princess Shan Yu's expression changed as she grit her teeth. However, she was a soldier, a soldier who followed orders.

Even if those orders came from her brother.

"Go, please don't blame me. You should know where I'm coming from. Are you really willing to sacrifice thousands of our soldiers' lives just to try and save an outsider?" Shan Ling looked at Princess Shan Yu.

Princess Shan Yu did not speak as she looked at Fang Zhengzhi. Then, she turned and walked back towards the Iron Hill Settlement.

The settlement was currently in chaos.

If she didn't go...

Then how was she going to face the Southern Region soldiers fighting for their lives against the demons?

She was the Princess...

She had to do what a Princess should do.

Even though she knew that the position was virtually indefensible, she could not give up.

The Iron Hill Settlement was the last hope for the Southern Region.

Even though...

This was something that was virtually impossible.

"Break, break, break..." Fang Zhengzhi was bordering on insanity. With each shout, waves of force gushed out of his body.

The booms echoed throughout the battlefield.

Yun Qingwu looked at Fang Zhengzhi through the silver rain, a little shocked by his actions.

"Actually, if you want to live... I can let you live." Yun Qingwu recognized the insanity in Fang Zhengzhi's eyes.

"Let me live?"

"Yes."

"On the condition that you let me imprison your pocket dimension. That would mean that you can no longer cultivate. Furthermore, you will stay in the Blood Shadow City. Haven't you always wanted an ordinary life? I can give you food and lodging... if you want women, I will have a lady marry you..."

"Do you think I will agree to that?"

"No, but you have no other choice. Struggling is meaningless. This is the Heavenly Dao, only those who understand it can break its restraints. Even her with her Xuan Heavenly Dao Body can't do it!"

Yun Qingwu continued in a sincere and calm voice as she looked at the silver light.

"Heavenly Dao?" Fang Zhengzhi's expression froze.

He knew exactly what the Heavenly Dao was, and that was the top Dao of the six Major ones.

"Yes, the Heavenly Dao! Even amongst the demons, my master is the only one to understand it. If you had not come here, you may have understood it one day... but now, that would be impossible!" Yun Qingwu added.

Fang Zhengzhi didn't seem to register what Yun Qingwu just said to him, "The Heavenly Dao... only those who understand it can free themselves? I understand... I will break heaven!"
