“Yun Qingwu?!”

“Why is the daughter of the monster and demon... with the Prince Cang?

“...”

The Emperors of the three empires were extremely stunned when they saw Yun Qingwu. That was because Yun Qingwu walked out from Wu Yuer’s back.

That was very strange.

Wu Yuer could read the minds of the Emperors of the three empires and pointed casually at Yun Qingwu. “She’s now our servant and no longer on the monsters and the demons’ side.

“Oh I see.”

“So Yun Qingwu is a servant...”

“...”

The Emperors of the three dynasties heaved a sigh of relief but could not understand why she came out and said, “hold on”.

Yun Qingwu’s expression did not change because of Wu Yuer. She only took two steps forward to Fang Zhengzhi.

“Fang Zhengzhi, didn’t you always want to know where the remaining Maps of Access to Heaven was?”

“Hmm?!” Fang Zhengzhi reacted immediately. He had always remembered that Qian Yu and Lin Mubai shared about the story regarding the loss of the Maps of Access to Heaven.

They hinted that the place the lost Maps of Access to Heaven were at the Five Sects of the Holy Region and the three empires.

“If you trust me, you can ask them about it.” Yun Qingwu did not continue explaining and retreated behind Wu Yuer after she finished her sentence.

Fang Zhengzhi laughed extremely happily.

After descending from the Heaven Zen Mountain, Yun Qingwu had kept silent. Nobody expected her to give such a piece of valuable information.

What she implied was very obvious.

The Maps of Access to Heaven were with the three empires.

“I, Fang Zhengzhi, Prince Cang of the Great Xia Dynasty, greet Your Majesties of the Radiant Moon Empire, War Pinnacle Empire and Holy Barbarian Empire!” Fang Zhengzhi walked towards the Emperors of the three empires as he smiled.

“...”

“...”

The Emperors of the three empires froze.

They did not hear what Yun Qingwu and Fang Zhengzhi said as Yun Qingwu was very soft and she seemed to have made a sound wall.

However, all of them saw the smile on Fang Zhengzhi’s face. It was very friendly but abnormal as Fang Zhengzhi did not smile so happily earlier on.

What did Yun Qingwu, the demoness, say to Fang Zhengzhi?

The emperors of the three dynasties felt chills down their backs. Although they had not met Fang Zhengzhi many times, they heard about him.

He was extremely shameless!

“Er... Prince Cang, although I am the Emperor, I don’t dare to accept your greetings.” Sweat formed on the forehead of the Emperor of the Radiant Moon Empire.

“That’s right, I am not used to this, Prince Cang.” The Emperor of the War Pinnacle Empire nodded too and said politely.

He did not dare to not be polite.

God knows what Fang Zhengzhi was up to.

“You don’t dare to accept it? However, didn’t the three of you still accept it earlier on?” Fang Zhengzhi smiled and pointed on the floor with his Traceless Sword.

“...”

“...”

Chills went down the backs of the Emperors of the three empires.

‘You were the one who wanted to greet us, and you are blaming us for accepting it?’

The Emperors of the three empires exchanged glances. They had seen how one sabotaged others but this was their first seeing how one “put a blame” on others by greeting them.

Wasn’t that being too much?

That did not make sense at all.

The Emperors of the three empires kept silent. The Emperor of the Holy Barbarian Empire, especially, blamed himself for poking his nose into this matter.

Fang Zhengzhi could tell how the Emperors of the three empires felt.

Afraid?

That was right!

“Since all of you have accepted my greetings, you should return it, correct?” Fang Zhengzhi gave a friendly “reminder” to the Emperor of the three empires.

“Return? Of course!” The Emperor of the Radiant Moon Empire initially thought Fang Zhengzhi wanted him to do something but he heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that all he had to do was to return the greetings.

Without hesitation, he was about to make a bow.

However, before he could bend his back, an invisible force caused him to stand upright again. It felt as though a hand held him.

“...” The Emperor of the Radiant Moon Empire was shocked.

He knew that Fang Zhengzhi was terrifyingly powerful and he could not afford the anger him. However, it was a completely different concept after experiencing it in real life.

He was too powerful!

Although the hand was holding him, he felt that it was like a tall mountain that was so powerful that he felt like collapsing.

So... this was the power of the ‘god’?

The Emperor of the Radiant Moon Empire was drenched in sweat. He was considered a powerful individual who was at the peak of the Rebirth State. However, he was like an ant in front of Fang Zhengzhi.

He could feel that he would die if Fang Zhengzhi moved his fingers.

“Prince Cang, you... you are...” The Emperor of the Radiant Moon Empire was trying to sound nice.

“Emperor of the Radiant Moon Empire, I was not referring to this as a return gift.” Fang Zhengzhi waved his hand withdrew the force of Heaven Dao that restraint the Emperor of the Radiant Moon Empire.

“If it’s not this, then...?”

“Gift, of course, it must be a gift,” said Fang Zhengzhi.

“...” The Emperor of the Radiant Moon Empire froze.

Was this the so-called blackmailing? Moreover, it was a blatant and unreasonable blackmail. Most importantly, he did not dare to not obey Fang Zhengzhi’s request.

“Emperor of the Radiant Moon Empire, is everything alright? I’m not asking too much for you to give me a greeting gift, right?” Fang Zhengzhi smiled in a friendly manner.

“Of course not, but what do you want?” The Emperor of the Radiant Moon Empire wiped off the sweat on his forehead and asked.

“The Heaven Dao Sage Tablet!” Fang Zhengzhi exclaimed.

“What?!”

“Heaven Dao Sage Tablet?!”

“You...”

Apart from the Emperors of the Radiant Moon Empire and War Pinnacle Empire, even the Emperor of the Holy Barbarian Empire who had kept silent all along widened his eyes and gasped in disbelief.

The Emperors of the three empires exchanged glances again.

They could see a similar look in each other’s eyes — astonishment. That was because none of them expected Fang Zhengzhi to ask for the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet straight away.

“Fang Zhengzhi, do you know what is the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet?” The Emperor of the Holy Barbarian Empire spoke first.

“So are you willing to give it to me?” Fang Zhengzhi did not waste time.

“Hmph, over my dead body!” The Emperor of the Holy Barbarian Empire was extremely certain.

The other two emperors also looked extremely firm and determined. As compared to the fear earlier on, their expression now showed how they were willing to die to defend their stand.

Fang Zhengzhi was somewhat shocked.

Based on his understanding, it should not be difficult to get the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet from the Emperors of the three empires. However, the reaction of the Emperors showed otherwise.

Indeed, that was human nature.

He took into account of the unity of humankind and agreed to the terms of the Emperors of the War Pinnacle Empire and Radiant Moon Empire, allowing them to send elites to pluck the flowers in the Source of God.

However, when the “ultimate interest” of the two empires was involved, it was a completely different story.:

“Prince Cang, I respect you and will agree to anything you ask except for the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet!” said the Emperor of the War Pinnacle Empire.

“That’s right!” The Emperor of the Radiant Moon Empire nodded.

“You can kill me but the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet was obtained with the exchange of the life of the past emperor, even if you kill me, I won’t hand it over to you!”

“I don’t believe that you can kill the three of us!”

“Even if you can destroy the three empires, you will still not be able to get the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet!” The Emperor of the Holy Barbarian Empire said firmly.

“Prince Cang, you have been influenced by the demoness. Please don’t be tricked by her!” The Emperor of the Radiant Moon Empire warned Fang Zhengzhi.

“That’s right,” agreed the Emperor of the War Pinnacle Empire.

Fang Zhengzhi frowned slightly. He did not mind killing the three emperors but what would the outcome be if he did that?

Disregarding the impact on their unity, the hundreds of thousands of army of the three empires would be difficult to be dealt with.

Once he killed the emperors of the three great empires, the army would end up in chaos and a war for “revenge” might ensue.

“What if I exchange the entire Great Xia’s land for it?” At this moment, Emperor Lin Mubai who was standing at the side said.

“Exchange with the land of Great Xia?!”

“You mean you want to use the city to exchange for the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet?!”

“...”

The Emperors of the Radiant Moon Empire and War Pinnacle Empire, as well as the Emperor of the Holy Barbarian Empire were evidently shocked.

Using the city to exchange for the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet!

Although this was not something worth celebrating, it could be considered as a “fair exchange”. At least, it was worth consideration.

“If I recall correctly, each of the Radiant Moon Empire and Holy Barbarian Empire has a Heaven Dao Sage Tablet, and the War Pinnacle Empire has two, right?” said Lin Mubai again.

“...” The three Emperors exchanged glances and kept quiet.

“If I offer to exchange two sectors of the land of the Great Xia Dynasty with the four Heaven Dao Sage Tablet, War Pinnacle Empire would get one sector while the Radiant Moon Empire and Holy Barbarian Empire each gets half of the sector, is that alright?” Lin Mubai stated his terms.

“Two sectors?!” The three Emperors were astonished again.

They had initially thought Lin Mubai was joking and would only use the land in remote areas for exchange. They did not expect him to use two sectors for exchange.

In fact, the entire Great Xia Dynasty only had four sectors of land. Two sectors were half of the Great Xia.

“If you are still not willing to exchange, then I will say, good luck for the battle. The consequences... I am sure all of you know.” Lin Mubai’s expression was cold.

“What do you want to do?” The Emperor of the Holy Barbarian Empire’s expression changed.

“Kill! I will kill you first before exchanging my land with the successor of the Holy Barbarian Empire!” Lin Mubai was very frank.

“Haha... How bossy!” The Emperor of the Holy Barbarian Empire laughed and nodded. “Alright, I accept the exchange deal. However, we get to pick the place for exchange. I want two of the residences of the Northern Lands, including the Golden Scale Residence!”

“Alright, the remaining three residences will belong to the Radiant Moon Empire!” Lin Mubai agreed without hesitation.

“Are you serious?” The Emperor of the War Pinnacle Empire said, “I want the east area of the Great Xia Dynasty, is that alright?”

“Haha... Of course, take it.” Lin Mubai waved his hand in generosity.

However, Ping Yang looked displeased. She pouted and her face turned red.

She knew what the east region represented.

The capital city of the Great Xia Dynasty was situated below the east region. By handing over the eastern region to the War Pinnacle Empire, it was almost equivalent to exposing the Flame Capital City to the War Pinnacle Empire.

“The eastern region is...”

“Yang’er.” Qian Yu pulled onto Ping Yang and covered her mouth before shaking her head calmly.

“Umm... Annoying!” Ping Yang broke free from Qian Yu but swallowed her words and cursed angrily.

Meanwhile, Qian Yu’s expression was strange.

That was because when Ping Yang resisted, she could not stop Ping Yang at all. It felt as if Ping Yang was an uncontrollable furious lion.

‘My daughter...’

‘Has indeed grown up!’

“Emperor of Great Xia, how are you going to prove that you will do it? Do you dare to sign a contract?” The Emperor of the Holy Barbarian Empire was afraid that Lin Mubai would go against his words.

“Get me a pen and paper!” Lin Mubai waved.

“Roger!” A scroll of golden cloth was sent over.

Without hesitation, Lin Mubai wrote down the details of the exchange and the locations.

The Emperors of the three great empires heaved a sigh of relief.

If it was possible, they did not want to go against Fang Zhengzhi as he was a powerful individual who was on par with a “god”. Nobody wanted to die.

Moreover, they knew Fang Zhengzhi’s personality too well.

After Fang Zhengzhi eyed on the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet, the emperors knew that it was extremely difficult for them to keep the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet forever. They would rather make the exchange.

They gained from this!

The contract for the exchange was finished and all three Emperors were very satisfied. After signing the contract, they took out the “ancient item”.

One of them was a jade that was at the waist area of the Emperor of the Radiant Moon Empire. It could be said to be a “brazen” one. The other item was hidden more secretively. It was a button on his shirt.

The last item was more exaggerated. It was two pearls, one big and one small, sewn on the front and back of the Emperor of the War Pinnacle Empire’s crown.

Fang Zhengzhi touched these items and knew that they were treasures to hide things. The Heaven Dao Sage Tablet could definitely be hidden in them.

“Hmm, there’s nothing wrong.” Fang Zhengzhi glanced at Lin Mubai.

“That’s perfect.” Lin Mubai nodded before something struck him. He turned to the three emperors who were laughing happily and said, “Oh, I suddenly remembered something, I think I passed down my throne to Yun’er before I came to the Heaven Zen Mountain, I have stopped addressing myself as the Emperor, did you not notice that?”

“...”

“...”

Their laughter stopped immediately.
