"I also do not think that Official Fang is dead . " Eunuch Wei whispered .
Emperor Lin Mubai frowned slightly but did not say anything else . He tapped his fingers on the arm rest before standing up .
"The location for the combat examination will be the Southern Mountain Village . I have discussed this with their king . The main aim is to share tactics and improve our ability to cooperate in battle!"
"I have sent an army of 100,000!"
"I have a few requests . One, do not disturb the residents . Two, do not engage in mass destruction . Three, do not kill without reason!"
Emperor Lin Mubai paused when he reached this point .
"Yes, your highness!" All of the 29 candidates at the bottom of the wall replied in unison .
"The rules of the examination are simple . The Southern Mountain Range is the location . You can set up camp in any of the four territories - Yan Ya region, Shi Zun region, Thunderous Lion region, and the Icy Monkey Region . These are the four war zones . The results will be determined by your final strength and territories controlled .
"Do you understand?"
"Yes your highness!"
"Set off!"
"Woo . . . " A long drone could be heard . The 100,000 strong army turned in its spot as it marched into the distance .
On the walls of the city, the Ninth Prince watched as the army marched off into the distance . He sighed, "He still did not appear . This way, he has effectively missed the combat examinations . Even if he rushes back, it will not matter . Ping Yang, what do you . . . wait? Where is Ping Yang?"
The incident at the Intellectual Loft consumed the entire city . Everyone wanted to know what happened to Fang Zhengzhi?
Was he dead or alive?!
The discussions leaned towards 'death' after the start of the combat examinations .
The 100,000 strong army had already set off . This meant that Fang Zhengzhi had already missed the combat examinations . He did not have the token from the army and could not move any soldiers .
Without soldiers, how was he going to battle the other candidates?
How was he going to guard his territories?
Fang Zhengzhi was the top of the theory examination . By missing out on the combat examinations, he was effectively giving this golden opportunity away . Only a fool would do such a thing .
There was only one reason why Fang Zhengzhi would miss the combat examination .
Something bad happened to him .
Was he dead?
Obviously, Fang Zhengzhi had not died . On the contrary, he was living a good life now . He was in a orchard filled with fruits of all variety . . .
They were all sweet and juicy .
He even had a servant .
When he wanted to listen to music, Immortal Tune would appear in front of him . Guqin, drums, whatever Fang Zhengzhi wanted to listen to .
It was the life of the gods .
But . . .
He couldn't get out!
Fang Zhengzhi looked out across the vast orchard . There was an exquisite residence by the side of a creek . He was enjoying life, Immortal Tune playing music for him whilst he admired the scenery .
Today, Immortal Tune wore a green dress as she sat in the grass . She looked just like an immortal sprite .
"I really failed?"
"Yes, your name was not in the top 10, neither was it in the subsequent list . I think you didn't make the top 30 . According to the rules of the court examination, you failed!" Immortal Tune nodded .
"Okay then . . . your master said she would meet me in five days . Hasn't it been five days?" Fang Zhengzhi nodded and shook his leg as he raised it on the table .
"My master is rather busy these few days . Perhaps you could wait another couple of days?" Immortal Tune chuckled when she saw Fang Zhengzhi's uncouth action .
This was not because of Fang Zhengzhi's relationship with her master .
It was because she knew for a fact that Fang Zhengzhi had tied with Nangong Hao for joint first in the court theory examination .
No matter how uncouth he seemed, he was an educated man .
One's actions did not determine if one was elegant or educated . The heart was what differentiated the good from the bad .
"Busy?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Immortal Tune doubtfully .
"Yes . " Immortal Tune nodded solemnly .
"What is the name of your master?"
"You will know when you meet the master . "
"Oh I see . . . Wu Yuer, you old hag! Get out here! Do you expect me to put a red carpet out here for you? Or are you too old to show your face in public?" Fang Zhengzhi nodded, then yelled .
"Bloody hell! Fang Zhengzhi, how dare you scold me?" A crisp voice rang out in the sky . Then, a figure in black appeared in front of Fang Zhengzhi .
She wore a black dress and leather shoes with golden embroidery . She had a black beaded hair and which glowed in the light .
Her skin was snow white and there was a red dot in the middle of her forehead . She was breathtakingly beautiful .
She was born with such great features .
"Master!" Immortal Tune fell to her knees when she saw Wu Yuer
Yuer .
"Mm, you can take your leave now . " Wu Yuer nodded to Immortal Tune .
"Yes master . " Immortal Tune left .
After watching Immortal Tune disappear into the distance, she turned back to look at Fang Zhengzhi . "How did you know I would be the one to bring you here?"
"I do not know many people . Furthermore, you are the only person who I know who will treat me so well . " Fang Zhengzhi glanced at Wu Yuer before putting his other leg on the table .
"Haha . . . you're quite smart . Tell me, why are you looking for me?" Wu Yuer smiled attractively .
"Shouldn't I be asking you that question?" Fang Zhengzhi asked .
"Oh, I guess you're right . I've been quite bored lately so I decided to find you for a chat . I heard that you failed the court examinations and are free at the moment . " Wu Yuer blinked as she mocked .
"I failed the court examinations?" Fang Zhengzhi did not believe that .
"Of course . Did you expect to top the examinations with your mediocre talent?" Wu Yuer asked scornfully .
"I am fine with not being first . But for me to fail . . . is unlikely . But since you said I failed, I must have failed . What an unlucky mouth you have!" Fang Zhengzhi replied equally scornfully .
"How dare you say that of me? Are you tired of living? I treat you so well and did not collect any money from you!" Wu Yuer feigned anger .
"Oh is that so? So I should thank you?"
"Of course . "
"I can thank you, but you must let me go first . "
"Never!"
"You really think that you can trap me using this pocket dimension?"
"Yes . "
"Okay, you win . This bloody place has trapped me . Let's just talk terms? What must I do for you to let me out . " Fang Zhengzhi had tried everything the past few days .
Axes, blades, swords .
He tried everything but to no avail .
Furthermore, the orchard was clearly a very complicated magical formation . It would be virtually impossible to navigate through it, much less navigate out of the pocket dimension .
In the World of the Sage, Fang Zhengzhi had used the Traceless Sword to escape . That was because the sword was controlling the World of the Sage . However, it would be useless in this pocket dimension .
"Terms? Sure . Stay here for a month and I'll let you out . " Wu Yuer smirked when she realized that Fang Zhengzhi was giving in .
"What about another one?"
"Another one . . . you can be my subordinate for a month . " Wu Yuer pretended to think
to think about it .
"Another one . "
"You can offer yourself to my "Shadow Sect" . You must swear to help when you're required!" Wu Yuer's expression was solemn .
"Offer? Are there any benefits?" Fang Zhengzhi glanced at Wu Yuer .
"Of course there are . Everyone who offers themselves can ask for three things from the Shadow Sect . The sect will do everything in its power to make it come true . " Wu Yuer said proudly .
"It sounds fair . "
"So you agree?"
"I have no reason to reject . "
"Okay then . From this moment on, you have offered yourself to the Shadow Sect . Tell me your terms . " Wu Yuer was rather excited even though she calmed herself down quickly .
"The first one, you have to kiss me!"
"Kiss you? Haha . . . go to hell!" Wu Yuer chuckled, then chided .
"Why, are you going back on your word? I thought you were going to do your best to fulfill my wishes? Is there no trust between humans?"
"Is that really your first wish?"
"Is there a rule against it?"
"Nope!"
"Then come on, I'm ready . "
"A kiss for your offering . This is such a good deal!" Wu Yuer catwalked next to Fang Zhengzhi .
She was extremely attractive .
Fang Zhengzhi smiled at Wu Yuer, his lips protruding out as he waited for her to kiss them .
Wu Yuer blushed when she realized that Fang Zhengzhi had no intention of avoiding the kiss .
"Can . . . can I not kiss you on the lips?"
"How can that work? You must kiss me on the lips! How else can it be called a kiss?" Fang Zhengzhi shook his head vigorously .
"Ok ok . . . but when I kiss you, you . . . you can't move!" Wu Yuer took a deep breath and grit her teeth .
"I can't move when you kiss me? Is that even a kiss?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Wu Yuer scornfully . Then he motioned towards her .
"Fang Zhengzhi, you are going too far! I am the leader of the Shadow Sect! Even if you join us, you can't be rude to me!" Wu Yuer's expression changed .
Of course, there was something that she could not bring herself to say . Even though she looked very flirtatious . . .
This was her first kiss!
"Going back on your word again . What a waste of time . To think that you are the leader of the leader of the Shadow Sect . If you don't keep your promises, can the Shadow Sect even be trusted?" Fang Zhengzhi's lips twitched as he picked up a nut .
"You . . . Fang Zhengzhi, in order to prove our sincerity, I can tell you a piece of news!" Wu Yuer made up her mind .
"Tell me about it . "
"Do you know Yun Qingwu?"
"I've met her before but I'm not familiar with her . "
"What if I told you she was the leader of the demons?"
Fang Zhengzhi's expression changed . Yun Qingwu was the master of the demons? If news of this got out, all of the talents in the Great Xia Dynasty would go crazy .
"What does this have to do with me?" Fang Zhengzhi smiled despite his shock .
"Don't you want to know?"
"Regardless, you've already told me . " Fang Zhengzhi's lips twitched .
"I knew that you were shameless . Forget it, I'll tell you the truth . It's no use even if you go out now . The combat examinations have begun . A 100,000 strong army is marching to the Southern Mountain Range . You will not be able to get the military token and you have no army . You will not pass the combat examinations . " Wu Yuer sighed .
"Then why are you trapping me here?" Fang Zhengzhi asked .
"I don't want you to go to your death . . . "
"Didn't you tell me that in the Northern Mountain Village . But, am I dead? No, I'm completely fine!" Fang Zhengzhi waved her off .
"What if I told you you don't stand a chance against Nangong Hao?" Wu Yuer's eyes glittered .
"Everyone has said that ever since I began the Dao Examinations . "
"This is different . I can confirm that Nangong Hao is already in the Supernatural State . He may even be at the pinnacle of it!" Wu Yuer asserted .
"How do you know?"
"I saw it for myself . "
"You saw it?"
"Yes!" Wu Yuer nodded, then looked at the clouds in the sky, almost as if she was thinking of something .
Her expression slowly turned into one of shock .
After a moment of hesitation, Wu Yuer looked back at Fang Zhengzhi, "You've been on Yun Qingwu's boat before . You should know how sturdy it is?"
"Mm, more or less . " Fang Zhengzhi nodded . Yun Qingwu's boat was formed from magical formations . Everything about it was superior to even the best boats around .
"Nangong Hao used three blades . The first one destroyed the boat's Eight Diagrams and Five Elements Formation . The second one broke her 49 servant Sword Star Formation . The third one took Yun Qingwu's life . " Wu Yuer spoke, her eyes glimmering like interlocking sword lights .
"Yun Qingwu is dead?" Fang Zhengzhi was slightly shocked to hear this news .
I also do not think that Official Fang is dead . Eunuch Wei whispered . Emperor Lin Mubai frowned slightly but did not say anything else . He tapped his fingers on the arm rest before standing up .
