Chapter 881: Chapter 211: The Beginning
Duan Xiyang and Feng Yunqi played a game of chess, and all the pieces were defeated. Yan Beihai took Duan Xiyang’s place and continued playing chess with Feng Yunqi.
They’re now in a tough battle.
Upon hearing Duan Xiyang’s words, Feng Yunqi thought for a moment and said, "I just want to know what’s inside."
"Isn’t there more?" A sharp light shot from Duan Xiyang’s eyes.
Feng Yunqi paused for a moment before saying, "In the Yin Yang Realm, there might be a kind of herb called Black and White Ginseng. I want that!"
"Black and White Ginseng?" Duan Xiyang apparently didn’t know what it was.
"Black and White Ginseng can only grow deep at the junction between the Yin Realm and the Yang Realm. It’s a truly miraculous medicine for life and death, something that definitely doesn’t exist in the mortal world. I hope your people can help search for it once they enter."
He said gravely, "I only need one plant!"
Duan Xiyang said lightly, "What would you exchange for it?"
Feng Yunqi chuckled, "You haven’t obtained it yet, so it’s too early to discuss this. If there truly is and you bring it out, why would I treat a few youngsters poorly?"
Yan Beihai placed a chess piece while smiling obediently, "Grandpa Feng Yunqi, you just wait, I’ll definitely get it out for you."
Feng Yunqi stroked his beard, delighted, and said, "You’re quite an obedient girl. Grandpa awaits your good news."
Duan Xiyang asked, "Are you wearing that piece of wood?"
Yan Beihai knew Duan Xiyang was referring to the Cixin wood foxlet that Dongfang Sansan gave her, and she immediately answered, "I’m wearing it."
"On this trip, there will likely be a lot of killing."
Duan Xiyang said, "Don’t let that thing leave your side."
"Yes."
...
Between the forests from northwest to southeast.
A fierce battle is erupting and it will continue!
Feng Guohai felt as if his body could be shattered into countless pieces at any moment while on Xue Fuxiao’s back. He was always known for his audacity, but at this moment, his face was pale!
His heart was thumping wildly!
Realizing he was just a small fry!
Carrying him was the world’s number one expert, Xue Fuxiao; while facing them was the Vice Sect Leader of the Only True Sect, Chen Gu! The Kuangren Halberd ranked fourth on the Cloud Weapon List, Baizhan Blade ranked sixth, and Heavenly King Flute ranked eighth.
Each of them was a legend in the mortal world.
The four of them besieged Xue Fuxiao, blocking his path, engaging in relentless battle, having already fought for two thousand miles.
Mountains crumbled, forests were destroyed.
Xue Fuxiao was desperately trying to break out, but the four blocked his path with all means, refusing to let him pass!
Feng Guohai realized that they were merely stopping Xue Fuxiao from getting him across!
But why?
Feng Guohai never knew his position was this important!
Regardless of its importance... even Feng Guohai could see that the four blocking the way might indeed prevent Xue Fuxiao from breaking through.
Or rather, the timing was certainly not favorable!
Too powerful!
Feng Guohai felt like he was watching gods fighting!
But Xue Fuxiao continued to struggle, and the opponents relentlessly obstructed, ceaselessly entangled. Mountains collapsed and land cracked like a disaster scene along the way.
...
It wasn’t until night.
Finally, news came from the Heavenly Palace.
"Proceed as planned."
Only a brief five words.
Evidently, the upper echelons of the Heavenly Palace were deeply frustrated by the unexpected tumult in the Yin Yang Realm, so many coincidences.
It seems that this time, a share must be granted to the Guardians and the Only True Sect.
And this is precisely what the Heavenly Palace and Underworld fear the most.
Because they know very well that whichever side gains ultimate victory, the next action would be to deal with the Outer World Mountain Sect.
If the Guardians win, it’s somewhat acceptable, but if the Only True Sect wins, the outcome for everyone wouldn’t be pleasant.
Thus, this celestial fortune was never intended to be shared with these two groups!
Not even a bit.
But this time, pressured by the situation, they had no choice.
So the two Star Lords, Taiyang and Taiyin, met with the two kings from the Underworld again for discussion.
Then they left the chamber, frowning.
"Everyone... This trial will begin tonight. It’s actually just a trial for sect disciples, but due to unforeseen coincidences, both the Guardians and the Only True Sect are present, so to avoid favoritism, it’s decided that everyone will participate..."
The Deity of the Sun smiled, displaying a demeanor of ’magnanimity, I think of everyone in good times.’
"Therefore, I ask each sect elder to lead disciples to the hall. Guardians and those from the Only True Sect who wish to partake in the Yin Yang Realm trial, please gather in the hall as well to announce the precautions and trial rules."
The Deity of the Sun’s words echoed throughout the Four Seas and Eight Desolate Tower.
But outside the tower, no one could hear.
A soundproof barrier created by numerous experts had completely isolated the Four Seas and Eight Desolate Tower.
Fang Che immediately stood up.
Promptly left the room.
Just as Dongyun Yu opened his door, looking bewildered: "Is it really starting?"
"It’s starting! This time, it seems it’s just the two of us representing the Guardians. Let’s go."
Fang Che patted Dongyun Yu’s shoulder: "Let’s go to the meeting first."
Dongyun Yu’s face unexpectedly showed some embarrassment: "I... I actually became the representative of the Guardians, this... this... can my mouth really handle it?"
Fang Che was thoroughly surprised.
So you actually have self-awareness!
You actually know your own mouth is not up to it! This is truly incredible!
"Just control it a bit."
Fang Che pulled Dongyun Yu and headed out.
On the ninth floor, Yan Beihan descended gracefully, while on the eighth floor, Feng Yun transformed into a cloud-like figure and floated down.
As soon as they saw Yan Beihan, a flash of recognition passed through their eyes: "You remind me of an acquaintance."
Yan Beihan said casually: "It’s a pity I don’t have acquaintances like you in the Wei Wo Zheng Sect! Feng Yun, do the men in your Wei Wo Zheng Sect use this trick to chat up young ladies?"
This sentence was exceptionally clever, completely dispelling any suspicion that ’I am also someone from the Wei Wo Zheng Sect.’
Feng Yun replied calmly: "That is mistaken, I, Feng Yun, have always been on the receiving end of such approaches."
"Hehe..."
Yan Beihan chuckled disdainfully; but internally, she understood that Feng Yun indeed belonged to that category within the Wei Wo Zheng Sect — the kind who is approached rather than the one doing the approaching. Many young ladies might not even qualify to approach him and could only watch from afar.
However, as long as Yan Beihan didn’t reveal her identity, she didn’t have much to say either.
She straightforwardly walked to Fang Che’s side, smiling gently: "Brother Fang, join me."
Fang Che greeted warmly with a smile: "Miss Nan, hello. Are you attending by yourself?"
Yan Beihan smiled: "Yes, it’s an opportunity not to be missed. If I didn’t attend it would be a shame. But being just a rural wanderer, I’m concerned about going in alone, but being with Mr. Fang the Guardian makes me much more at ease."
Fang Che kindly nodded with a gentle smile: "Don’t worry, Miss. With me by your side, I’ll definitely keep you safe."
Yan Beihan smiled: "Thank you."
"It’s as it should be."
Their conversation was succinct.
In Fang Che’s mind: Seems like the girl doesn’t know I’ve recognized her.
Yan Beihan inwardly sneered: This guy surnamed Fang thinks I’m a fool!
Since the suspicion of ’Fang Che being Yemo’ has been dispelled, Yan Beihan naturally has no other thoughts towards Fang Che, and now the sight of this pretty boy just annoys her.
"This bastard, who knows how many innocent women he’s already ruined!"
"Looking this handsome, surely it’s just to lure women!"
Yan Beihan thought angrily.
Immediately, core disciples from various mountain sects also lined up, orderly stepping forward.
Lan Xinxue walked up to Fang Che, under Yin Yunxiao’s fiery gaze, with an admiring look: "Brother Fang, why are you here so early?"
As she spoke, her face blushed.
A shy young girl, full of charm.
"Grit, Grit..." Yin Yunxiao gritted his teeth, producing a crisp sound.
Fang Che smiled gracefully: "Junior Sister Lan, be careful when entering the secret realm this time, focus on safety, prioritize protecting yourself."
"I understand, Brother Fang. You’re really nice." Lan Xinxue blinked: "Brother Fang, where’s your wife?"
"Your sister-in-law has gone back." Fang Che replied.
"Oh, oh."
Lan Xinxue smiled brightly, made a playful face: "With sister-in-law not around, I’m relieved. I really worry she might think too much seeing me talking to you."
Fang Che smiled tenderly: "No worries, your sister-in-law would be thrilled seeing you with me, she likes you very much."
"Ugh..." Yan Beihan gagged beside them.
"Fang Che!"
Yin Yunxiao’s sinister voice was heard, drawing everyone’s attention to his contorted face resembling dried mouse meat.
Without hiding the menacing glint in his eyes, he looked vicious: "Fang, you’re seeking death!"
Lan Xinxue stepped forward, standing in front of Fang Che, unyielding: "Saint Yin, what are you doing? Who are you trying to scare with this behavior?"
Yin Yunxiao’s sinister gaze fixed on Lan Xinxue, word by word: "Lan Xinxue, you’re also fine, quite fine."
Lan Xinxue snorted: "Whether I’m fine or not is none of your business! Your rudeness to Brother Fang without understanding the situation, what are you trying to do?"
"What am I trying to do... I plan to slaughter this pretty boy!"
Yin Yunxiao angrily retorted.
"You’re out of line!" Lan Xinxue protested furiously.
"This guy flirted with my fiancée, and I’m over the line?" Yin Yunxiao roared in rage.
Lan Xinxue was equally furious: "I’m just normal friends with Brother Fang, what’s wrong with you? And who is your fiancée anyway?"
"You!"
Yin Yunxiao shouted fiercely.
"I am not! I never agreed!"
Lan Xinxue’s face darkened: "Yin Yunxiao, show some self-respect!"
"I know you like this pretty boy, but too bad he’s about to become dead meat."
Yin Yunxiao gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, casting a black gleam at Fang Che.
"Don’t you dare!"
Lan Xinxue shouted sternly: "Brother Fang is a Guardian, if you lay a hand on him, not even the Underworld can save you!"
