Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

This scene was shocking indeed. Even the Heaven Dao Pavilion, which was one of the five sects of the Holy Region, had only around a thousand disciples.

In front of them now stood two to three thousand people!

“Bloody old man, you’re lying to me again! Do you f*cking call this ‘leaving in a rush’? I want one joss stick’s worth of time and not a second less!” When Fang Zhengzhi saw the huge group of shadows rushing forward, he was momentarily stunned too. Then, he started to curse.

“A man must honor his words. You said half a joss stick’s worth of time, so how can you change? If I change to one joss stick’s worth of time, I’ll incur heavier losses!” The Heavenly Oasis Saint’s face fell. However, he would not fall for Fang Zhengzhi’s trick. Changing the conditions of a deal after they had negotiated it was truly dumb.

“What do you know about this? A man must be able to last long. I want one joss stick’s worth!”

“Go to hell with your ‘lasting long’. I don’t believe it!”

“...”

Just when Fang Zhengzhi and the Heavenly Oasis Saint were exchanging insults, the huge group of people was already in formation.

They drew their swords, which gleamed with a cold light.

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“...”

Their voices harmonized with each other, shaking the very heaven itself.

When Shi Fan, who had just managed to stand up, Yuan Rong, and Second Elder of the Black Moon Island saw this scene, their faces changed visibly.

They were not alone. When Second Elder, Fourth Elder, and Sixth Elder of the Heaven Dao Pavilion saw this scene, their faces darkened visibly too.

“Shadow Sect... Since when did they get so many members?!” Fourth Elder looked at the ominous black cloud and a look of shock crossed his face.

“Impossible, the Shadow Sect does not have these many people!” Sixth Elder could not believe it too. He was resolute in his belief.

“So what if they have so many people? A bunch of misfits trying to take on the Heaven Dao Pavilion, their efforts will be in vain!” Second Elder finally spoke.

“Second brother is right!” When Fourth Elder heard this, he nodded his head too.

“Yes!” Sixth Elder regained his calm.

“Listen up, Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples! Get into position for the sword formation and prepare to fight our foe! Today, Fang Zhengzhi, Yan Qianli, and this bunch of misfits shan’t leave this place alive!” Second Elder’s face turned cold.

As the Second Elder of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, he naturally had the right to take on an aggressive stance. After all, this was their territory and importantly, there was a great disparity in strength.

The Heaven Dao Pavilion had many years of experience under its belt. Their weakest disciple was in his Supernatural State. They would not even fear an army of twenty to thirty thousand, much less a group of two to three thousand.

Including the Heavenly Oasis Saint and Yan Qianli, there were just two Sages.

What was there to fear?

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

Two ‘kills’ rang out in the air. The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples finally started to move. Instantly, they clashed together.

It was a shocking scene.

It was also a bloody scene.

Rays of light started to shine on the bodies of the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples, indicating that there were at least 100 of them in the Rebirth State.

What would a wolf feel when it entered a herd of sheep?

It would kill whatever sheep it saw!

This was what the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples thought. However, quickly, their mentality changed. This was because their enemies, which numbered two to three thousand, started to glow with light too.

Furthermore, in terms of number...

There were at least two to three hundred people of them!

“Kill!” As light shone over the two to three hundred of them, the masked ‘misfits’ charged into the group of the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples.

Their sword light flashed like dragons. Their cries resonated in the air.

This scene shocked the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples, who were expecting to slaughter their foes like sheep. At that moment, they did not know who were the wolves, and who were the sheep.

Two to three hundred Rebirth State cultivators?

Were they the ‘misfits’ Second Elder spoke of?

“How is this possible!”

“Why are they so strong!”

“In their group of two to three thousand, around two to three hundred of them are in the Rebirth State!”

“Not only are these people in the Rebirth State, the others are in their Supernatural State. Compared to us, they are not much weaker!”

When the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples finally came into contact with them, they finally realized how strong this bunch of ‘misfits’ were.

“Impossible!” Second Elder looked at his disciples, who were dropping like flies, and a look that bordered on terror appeared in his eyes.

Two to three thousand elites with two to three hundred Rebirth State cultivators. This force was not much weaker compared to the full strength of the Heaven Dao Pavilion.

Right now, the Heaven Dao Pavilion only sent a few hundreds of them.

How could they win?!

Second Elder did not believe it. Fourth Elder and Sixth Elder could not believe it too. Even Shi Fan and Yuan Rong who were not too far away did not want to entertain this thought.

However, the fact was as such and they could no longer afford to disbelieve it. The two to three thousand Shadow Sect disciples in front of them were indeed a powerful force to reckon with.

“Old man Yan, why aren’t you bringing your grandson back? Do you want to die?” The Heavenly Oasis Saint looked at the battle without any sign of shock. As he watched his Shadow Sect disciples forcing the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples with their sheer advantage in strength, he smiled and waved at Yan Qianli.

“Bloody old man, you’re the one who’s afraid of death. Don’t drag me down with you! I, Yan Qianli, am not one who fears death. Since I’m here today, why not have a good one!” Yan Qianli completely disregarded the Heavenly Oasis Saint’s kindness.

“Aiyoh, are you calling me a coward? I’m conserving my strength, do you understand? Without my hard work all these years, how can we have our glory today? We would have been killed by them a long time ago!”

“Go away, I’ll take command here. Watch from the side!” Yan Qianli did not want to waste words with the Heavenly Oasis Saint. He immediately took out of golden flag from his robes and then looked at Fang Zhengzhi and said, “One joss stick’s worth of time. If you can’t kill them and avenge my grandson, you can forget about joining my Shadow Sect!”

“Eh... what do you mean by ‘my Shadow Sect’? Didn’t we agree that the Leader of the Shadow Sect has to be my disciple? Neither of us can lead it!” When the Heavenly Oasis Saint heard this, he started to panic.

“Master, can you stop arguing with Grandpa Yan? The two of you have been arguing for decades. Even if you two are not sick of it, I’m sick of it...” Wu Yuer shook her head at this moment.

“...”

“Yan Qianli, it’s Yan Qianli!” Second Elder finally reacted. Instantly, his face turned ugly.

“Yan Qianli? Second brother, do you mean to say that Yan Qianli and Heavenly Oasis have been...” When Fourth Elder heard this, his face turned too.

“That’s right, we left them out, we really did forget about them! I should have thought of this a long time ago. Ever since the Great Xia Dynasty was established, Western Liang had been a special territory. While Western Liang belongs to Great Xia, it was never controlled by it and Great Xia never interfered with Western Liang’s development. I had my doubts a long time ago because even when Great Xia was its peak, it was unable to use the cavalry of its thirteen constabularies to subdue it. However, why did Western Liang surrender just like this after Great Xia sent someone over?” Second Elder’s face was dark.

“They were biding their time!” Sixth Elder finally understood too.

“What ‘biding their time’? We just signed an agreement. Our Yan Family never wants to establish our own dynasty because even if we do so, we’ll still be controlled by the five sects of the Holy Region. Members of our Yan Family are proud and solitary. We’ll either refuse to join the Holy Region or if we do join, we’ll join when we’re prepared!” When Yan Qianli heard Fourth Elder’s words, he could not help but to interrupt.

“What a thought! However, it should be impossible for the Yan Family, with its territory in Western Liang, to raise so many elites, right?” Second Elder’s tone was icy.

“That’s why I say that half of the effort is mine!” The Heavenly Oasis Saint spoke once more. “Without my dedication to alchemy, as well as treasure-hunting, how can old man Yan here raise such a force?”

“So that’s the case!” With Second Elder’s intelligence, he finally understood what had happened after Heavenly Oasis Saint’s words.

While Western Liang was barren, it was very fit for training troops. With help from pills and medicines, it was not impossible to raise a group of true elites in the territory of Western Liang.

According to his guess, even after the Great Xia Dynasty was established, they knew of the powerful force which resided inside Western Liang. Hence, even with the cavalry of the thirteen constabularies and their military superiority, they did not dare to venture into Western Liang.

The Yan Family guarded their secret to prevent the Holy Region from knowing of their force. Hence, they had to submit to the authority of Great Xia.

Thus, this agreement was borne. Negotiations between the two sides resolved the issue of Western Liang and it also established an absolutely fair agreement. The lands of Western Liang would be bequeathed to the Yan Family for generations to come.

As for the Yan Cloud Cavalry, they would wear their traditional masks every time they fought. This was probably to conceal the strength of the Yan Family.

“What an elaborate set-up!” Fourth Elder finally reacted too. However, it was too late because the Shadow Sect was now evidently capable of self-preservation.

Fang Zhengzhi struck at this moment.

He knew a bit about the Shadow Sect but in fact, his knowledge was limited. For example, he knew that it hunted for silver everywhere and then used it to buy herbs and treasures.

However, he did not know what became of the pills made from these herbs. Although the Shadow Sect’s business side was diverse, including inns, pawnshops, teahouses, brothels, and even banks, he did not know what they were doing with this money.

They just did not have a medicine shop.

In other words, all of the pills the Shadow Sect made had disappeared. However, Fang Zhengzhi did not pay much attention to that.

After all, there were very few medicine shops in the Great Xia Dynasty. In the Great Xia Dynasty, pills were extremely valuable.

Hence, it was logical for the Shadow Sect to not be involved in the trade of pills.

Now, as Fang Zhengzhi gave it more thought, he realized that something was wrong. The Heavenly Oasis Saint’s alchemy skills were top-notch. If he opened a medicine shop, he would make a lot of money.

However, none of these was important anymore. More importantly, the Shadow Sect could delay the Heaven Dao Pavilion. What was there for him to think about?

“Half a joss stick is enough! If I can’t kill them, I won’t join the Shadow Sect!” Fang Zhengzhi did not keep a low profile. He charged forward like a ray of light toward Yuan Rong. This was because he wanted to kill Yuan Rong more than Shi Fan of the Yin Yang Hall.

“Half a joss stick? Won’t join the Shadow Sect? Eh... don’t cheat us, rascal. We’ll give you two joss sticks’ worth of time. There’s no need to rush. Do what you must. We can hold them off!” When the Heavenly Oasis Saint heard Fang Zhengzhi’s words, his face changed and he shouted at him.

“Go to hell!” Fang Zhengzhi naturally ignored him. He leaped into the air and slashed Yuan Rong with his sword.

“Fang Zhengzhi, don’t be brazen!” When Second Elder of the Black Moon Island saw this scene, he did not hesitate as he leaped into the air and blocked him.

“Second brother, be careful!” Yuan Rong moved too. His entire body fused with a black light, which also enveloped Second Elder. It felt as if the two of them had been devoured by the night.

“Rascal, this is the Shadow Evasion Dao, can you deal with it? If you can’t, tell me!” The Heavenly Oasis Saint looked at Yuan Rong and Second Elder and said.

“Kill!” Fang Zhengzhi did not answer him. Instead, he shouted coldly and at the same time, a powerful aura surged from his body.

Then, the ground underneath his feet sank. A huge diagram appeared and at the same time, eight balls of fire rose in the air.

“Kaboom!” A huge sound.

The black light in mid-air was sucked back onto the ground.

“Oh? The Hell Dao? If you continue training for two more years, your strength will be astronomical!” When the Heavenly Oasis Saint saw this scene, his eyes lit up.

It was not yet over. Just when the black light was sucked onto the ground, a huge diagram appeared in the air. It resembled the one on the ground exactly.

More importantly...

The moment it appeared, another eight balls of fire lit up on the ground. These balls of fire resembled the ones in the sky exactly.

“F*ck me, the Yin Yang Mirror, you actually use the Yin Yang Mirror to open up the heaven and earth revolution inside the Hell Dao?! Wait a minute, when did you master the Dao of Yin Yang?” The Heavenly Oasis Saint’s bright eyes were now filled with terror.
