Gate of God

“You think I will bring something so important along with me?” Yun Qingwu felt the gaze in Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes and trembled uncontrollably.

“I will know the answer after I take a look.” Fang Zhengzhi did not bother about proving further because he knew Yun Qingwu’s personality very well.

Admit it herself?

That would definitely not happen to Yun Qingwu.

He could only snatch it. Therefore, after he finished his sentence, Fang Zhengzhi stretched out his hand and tried to grab the pendant on Yun Qingwu’s neck.

Yun Qingwu resisted.

She resisted with full force and it could be described as using both her fists and her legs. However, she was too weak.

A person with the Star Conglomerate State was nothing in front of Fang Zhengzhi.

Without much efforts, Fang Zhengzhi presses down on Yun Qingwu’s head and pulled the pendant down from Yun Qingwu’s neck.

“No, you can’t look at it!” Yun Qingwu became worried as she saw her pendant snatched by Fang Zhengzhi. It was an expression that was rarely seen on her.

Fang Zhengzhi smiled. Like what he had guessed, “An Ancient Handwritten Letter” was hidden in the pendant. If not, Yun Qingwu would not be so anxious.

He made up his mind and looked into the pendant.

Soon, he found a lot of different books in the pendant. Apart from books, there were also figures of formations and exotic gemstones.

However…

90 percent over of the things inside the pendant were books. Each book was as thick as a fist and piled up to form a small hill.

Yun Qingwu really liked to read books and the books that she read were from almost every single genre.

However, amongst these books, exactly which one was “An Ancient Handwritten Letter”?

Just as Fang Zhengzhi was thinking about this, he suddenly felt a strange force on his chest as though something was going to be pulled out of his body.

Oh no, he was tricked!

Fang Zhengzhi quickly withdrew his attention from the pendant. However, it was too late as a glistening pendant had appeared in Yun Qingwu’s hand.

It was the pendant that Fang Zhengzhi snatched from her on the Heaven Zen Mountain.

Yet now…

It was in Yun Qingwu’s hand.

Boom! Following a loud boom, a powerful collision force struck Fang Zhengzhi’s chest and he could no longer hold onto Yun Qingwu’s hand.

Meanwhile, Yun Qingwu snatched the pendant in Fang Zhengzhi’s hand and made use of this force to escape from Fang Zhengzhi’s grasp. She flew towards a distance away and was as fast as a bolt of lightning.

Fang Zhengzhi knew that apart from storing things, the pendant was a powerful treasure that allowed one to resist collision forces. However, he did not expect Yun Qingwu to be able to withdraw the pendant from “The Vast World” in his chest?

Could it be that she had already thought of this plan when she was caught?

Even though she had already confirmed Fang Zhengzhi’s identity, she did not show any signs that she had “figured it out” or not, instead, she used the riskiest method and shouted, “I am sure that you are Fang Zhengzhi.”

She was able to act in such a way and nobody could figure out whether she was behaving as though it was real or not.

Indeed, only Yun Qingwu had such endurance.

However, Yun Qingwu must have been really agitated as she was forced by him. If not, she would not have forcefully acted at this moment.

After all, the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race were still a long distance behind them.

Meanwhile, the disciples of the Human Alliance followed behind Fang Zhengzhi. Even if Yun Qingwu managed to get out of Fang Zhengzhi’s grasp, where could she run to?

“Yun Qingwu, you won’t be able to escape!” Fang Zhengzhi thought it was hilarious as he watched how Yun Qingwu ran ahead.

In the past, he had seen the smiles on the faces of bad guys who chased after a weak lady and forced her into a corner.

Now, that smile was seen on his face.

Where was she running to?

Yun Qingwu had nowhere to run to!

“Fang Zhengzhi, don’t force me!” shouted Yun Qingwu as she ran, showing no signs of slowing down.

However, even if she did not slow down…

She was running very slowly.

To put it outrightly, Fang Zhengzhi felt that he only needed a few seconds’ time to recapture Yun Qingwu.

“So what if I force you?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Ping Yang who was a distance away and then at Yun Qingwu who was still nearby. He decided to recapture Yun Qingwu first as he was aware that there was a risk in a turn of events if his actions were delayed.

Moreover, after Yun Qingwu found out about his identity, he would definitely not let Yun Qingwu go.

“Let’s strike a deal.”

“What deal?”

“If you promise me to not look for the Source of God, I will tell you everything that I know.”

“Haha, do you think I will agree?”

“Also… I… I can promise you to let the Monster Race and Demon Race return to the Great Swamp and not leave the place for 100 years. I also can tell you how to close the Gate of God of the Realm of Monsters and Demons!”

“Hmm?!” Fang Zhengzhi was slightly shocked when he heard this as he did not expect Yun Qingwu to be pushed to such an extent.

How was this a deal?

It was more like a ceasefire agreement!

However, why did Yun Qingwu agree to such a condition? What exactly was in the Source of God and the tomb that could not be opened?

Fang Zhengzhi was curious.

An impulse kept telling him to find the Source of God and open the tomb. However, common sense also reminded him that there was something unknowingly terrifying in an unknown opportunity.

Of course, these should be said at a later time. No matter whether he decided to agree with the deal, he should recapture Yun Qingwu first.

“Alright, I agree with your deal. Stop running.” Fang Zhengzhi decided to lure his opponent.

“I don’t believe you,” said Yun Qingwu without looking back.

Then…

There was no ‘then’.

That was because Fang Zhengzhi had reached Yun Qingwu and whacked the back of Yun Qingwu’s neck with his hand.

Evidently, the biggest weakness of Yun Qingwu was the fact that she was too incapable.

Fang Zhengzhi caught Yun Qingwu who had collapsed while opened her hands and was about to get the two pendants back.

However, what shocked him was that there were no pendants in Yun Qingwu’s hands.

“…” Fang Zhengzhi finally understood why Yun Qingwu ran even though she knew she couldn’t escape. That was because she never ever thought of escaping.

Since the start, Yun Qingwu’s goal was on the pendant.

It was really difficult for Fang Zhengzhi to get back the pendant from Yun Qingwu…

Where would it be?

Could it be hidden somewhere else on her body, or did she drop it on the way?

Fang Zhengzhi looked behind him at the thick haze. It was like finding a needle in the sea if he wanted to search for the two small pendants in the haze.

Moreover, Ping Yang had run far away and he could not possibly leave Ping Yang like that!

Moreover, the disciples of the Human Alliance and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race were chasing after him with all their might.

Should he get Ping Yang back first?

Then run back to look for the pendants?

F*ck, he did not have so much time now!

Moreover, he was not even sure if Yun Qingwu really dropped the pendants on the ground as it was just his own guess.

Left with no choice, Fang Zhengzhi could only continue running forward.

Then, he suddenly realized that Ping Yang who was initially in front of him had suddenly vanished.

Seriously?

Why was she doing this at this point in time!

Just as he was about to dash forward to see what had happened, Ping Yang appeared in front of him again but was much calmer as compared to earlier on.

She was also shaking her head non-stop.

“Ping Yang,” shouted Fang Zhengzhi.

“Hmm? Why are you not out yet? How weak are you, I, the prin… er, I had killed so many monsters and demons on my way out!” Ping Yang looked extremely proud of herself as she turned around and looked at Fang Zhengzhi.

“Killed so many monsters and demons?” Fang Zhengzhi would not believe it. However, Ping Yang looked like she had managed to leave the illusionary state by herself.

However, how did she leave the illusionary state by herself?

Fang Zhengzhi was not certain about that but he figured it out very quickly because as he ran towards Ping Yang, he fell into a hole.

Then…

He fell down while hugging onto Yun Qingwu.

Plop! He did not fall with his face on the ground but it was still a relatively heavy fall while hugging onto Yun Qingwu.

Fortunately, though, Yun Qingwu acted as his “cushion”.

“What the f*ck!” Fang Zhengzhi wanted to curse. Who the f*ck dug a deep hole at the edge of the haze.

Wasn’t that on purpose?

“Hahaha…” Ping Yang laughed whole-heartedly.

However, Fang Zhengzhi saw a patch of dirt on Ping Yang’s forehead. Evidently, Ping Yang had fallen earlier on and she probably regained consciousness because of that.

No wonder she suddenly vanished.

Fang Zhengzhi thought he was exceptionally smart. However, he did not expect Ping Yang to have vanished and regained consciousness because of the fall.

Indeed…

An intelligent man looked foolish.

Just as Fang Zhengzhi was about to teach Ping Yang proper manners, he suddenly realized the haze with streams of light in front of him had disappeared.

The haze with the streams of light was replaced by nine gigantic black chains.

Nine chains locked nine different positions of stars, extending from the spot he was standing at towards his head.

A cloud of thick black haze was at the location that the nine chains led to, with purple bolts of lightning flashing once in a while.

“These chains?!” Fang Zhengzhi’s gaze fell upon the nine black chains. The material of these chains was exactly the same as that of the chains in the galaxy.

However, this was the first time he had seen these black chains up close. Furthermore, from their thickness, they looked much thicker and stronger than the chains which were used to lock the gigantic black rocks in the galaxy world as the thickness of each of these chains were at least the length of five people’s height.

The nine chains were connected to the black haze in the sky and nobody could see what was above them or in front of them. It was like a completely different world from the white haze earlier on.

“Crack!” A bolt of lightning struck the center of the nine chains and made a loud sound: meanwhile, purple bolts of lightning appeared on the nine chains.

“It seems like they are moving up?” While Fang Zhengzhi was shocked, he looked closely at the black haze above him. He could not figure out what was inside even if he used the eye of Ghost Dao.

What exactly was it?

Apart from the same black stones and chains in the galaxy world, what else was hidden in the wrecked black stone palace?

“Hmm, let’s hurry up and leave.” Ling Yang was more excited and curious about the unknown than worried.

“Leave? Do you conduct electricity?” Fang Zhengzhi felt angry and wanted to laugh at the same time.

“Ah?” Ping Yang’s mouth was agape in confusion.

“Look at the chains.” Fang Zhengzhi pointed to the lightning on the chains. If he was not wrong, the black haze above him should be a thunder cloud.

The thunder cloud shrouded above the black chains and lightning struck occasionally and were reflected upwards by the chains.

Then, new lightning would strike once the lightning returned to the clouds.

This was an endless cycle.

After Fang Zhengzhi pointed it out, Ping Yang saw the bolts of lightning on the black chains. She blinked her eyes and reacted quickly.

“I am not sure whether I can tolerate the electricity, but I’m sure that Yun Qingwu can’t!” Ping Yang raises her head as she said.

“So?” Fang Zhengzhi asked.

“So you sure think about how to carry her up!” said Ping Yang.

“Climb? I don’t need to climb, I have wings,” said Fang Zhengzhi.

“…” Ping Yang, who initially wanted to see the hilarious act, was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Then she looked at Yun Qingwu before turning to Fang Zhengzhi. “Wouldn’t she figure out your identity if you used wings?”

“That’s right.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded before he turned Yun Qingwu around. “But she is unconscious.”

Ping Yang moved her mouth and did not know how to reply to him. Then, she heard a voice.

“Do you want me to bring you along?”
