第四百五十三章一场黑雨

Shan Ling was furious.

He really was... he was on the cusp of victory! What the hell happened? He was betrayed by Fang Zhengzhi!

Hang on...

Could it be...

His expression changed when he thought about it... he seemed to have forgotten one thing.

He had thought that he could protect the Southern Region and destroy Fang Zhengzhi in the process. But, he forgot to account for Fang Zhengzhi’s thoughts.

What if...

Fang Zhengzhi had been thinking the same thing?

Fear, unparalleled fear...

Shan Ling looked at the settlement chiefs around him. He realized that he was in a situation in which he had no control over.

He was just like a lamb being sent to the slaughter!

"Wait... why... is Xing Yuanguo here?" Shan Ling spotted a figure in purplish golden robes out of the corner of his eye.

He was shocked.

He could understand Fang Zhengzhi transporting the Southern Region soldiers into The Vast World, but why do that to Xing Yuanguo, the Dragon Protection Squad, and the Mountain Breaking Army?

What is going on?

Was he rebelling?

Even if he wanted to rebel, this wasn’t the way to do it!

Shan Ling looked at Xing Yuanguo, his eyes filled with questions.

Xing Yuanguo shook his head in exasperation. He knew that he was in The Vast World. However, he showed none of the anger Shan Ling did.

He was just a little...

Embarrassed.

"I think... this guy’s understanding of the statement is slightly problematic!" Xing Yuanguo was otherwise speechless.

This was the second time he had been consumed by The Vast World. However, this time was different...

Xing Yuanguo looked at the tall tree in the middle of the battlefield as well as the bloody field strewn with dead bodies.

The situation was different...

Ordinarily...

The activation of The Vast World came with a choice.

For example, on Cang Ling Mountain, the Demons chose to absorb the people and beasts on Cang Ling Mountain.

However, Cang Ling Mountain still existed.

The mountain, as well as its trees and rivers, were not absorbed.

But this time was different, Fang Zhengzhi had absorbed the entire field, together with the Iron Hill Settlement.

The biggest consequence was...

The boundaries were limited.

In other words, The Vast World would have been sufficient to contain the entire demon army... but now, he could not absorb the entire army...

The result was obvious...

Only about 100,000 Demons were contained in The Vast World.

That being said, The Vast World still contained more than 100,000 soldiers. The joint forces were absorbed as well.

But now...

What were they going to do?

Fight it out again here?

Xing Yuanguo wanted to say something, but he was at a loss for words. He could explain the situation to the Dragon Protection Squad and the Mountain Breaking Army, but how was he going to deal with the Southern Region soldiers?

Call it a misunderstanding?

Who would believe him?

"I’m sorry, it’s a misunderstanding!" Just at that moment, a voice rang out in the sky. However, the apology was far from sincere...

In fact...

Fang Zhengzhi sounded excited.

To be honest, he was really excited.

He did not bother about the fact that only a portion of the demon army had been absorbed, neither did he bother about how he was going to get the others out.

The only thought he had was...

What’s done is done...

So they should just talk it out whilst they were inside here. A little saber-rattling could work too.

Either way...

They couldn’t do anything to him!

That was Fang Zhengzhi’s attitude right now.

Shan Ling could hear the insincerity in Fang Zhengzhi’s voice. He wanted to curse and swear, but in the end, the words that came out were...

"It’s alright, since it is a misunderstanding, I will hear what your plans are, Official Fang!" Shan Ling didn’t dare to cuss at Fang Zhengzhi.

The settlement chiefs and the soldiers were initially stunned. They looked at each other in confusion, but they quickly realized what Shan Ling was doing.

"We will do as you wish, Official Fang!" They replied in unison.

Xing Yuanguo was slightly taken aback when he heard this. He simply smiled bitterly...

"Official Fang? Crown Prince, are you alright? I remember that you wanted to kill me back at the Sagely Mountain City." Fang Zhengzhi’s voice boomed.

"Misunderstanding haha... that was also a misunderstanding!" Shan Ling grit his teeth.

"Oh I see, then I guess we are even now. We have both caused each other some misunderstanding, but that’s water under the bridge now." Fang Zhengzhi replied magnanimously.

"Thank you, Official Fang!" Shan Ling’s knuckles whitened. He had initially wanted to thank Fang Zhengzhi for being so ’magnanimous’ but decided against it.

"No need for that. Perhaps you could give me a few boxes of pearls and gems when I leave as a gesture of goodwill!" Fang Zhengzhi pressed.

"Definitely!" Shan Ling’s eyes were bloodshot.

He couldn’t understand what was happening. Fang Zhengzhi was the one who had put him in this position, yet he was the one apologizing now?! How shameless could a person possibly be?!

And then there was the extortion!

He was the Crown Prince of the Southern Region!

Most frustratingly, he was in no position to reject Fang Zhengzhi’s requests.

...

Fang Zhengzhi’s voice reverberated throughout the entire space. It was heard by the demons as well as Yun Qingwu and Canyang.

However, neither Yun Qingwu nor Canyang did anything.

As such...

The Demon Domain Chiefs and the demon soldiers had to hold their positions.

They waited patiently for their orders. They knew what was about to happen, but their concern was what was happening now.

They had no other choice but to wait.

Ping Yang, on the other hand, was losing her patience.

"Fang Zhengzhi, you shameless fella, what are you waiting for? Save me! Did you forget that I risked my life for you? You unfaithful, mercenary..." Ping Yang fumed, her choice of words slightly crass.

But it was not important.

She could say whatever she wanted.

"If you shut up, I will think about it." Fang Zhengzhi replied but did not do anything.

"I will not! What are you going to do about it? How dare you be disrespectful towards me! You will suffer retribution! When I return, I will report you to the Emperor... he will strip you of any rewards. You will be a rank four official for the rest of your life!" Ping Yang threatened.

"Is that so? Rank four sounds great! I love being a rank four official." Fang Zhengzhi replied with haughty derision.

"Then I’ll make sure you’re demoted to rank five, even rank six! You will be relegated to the borders!" Ping Yang continued threatening.

"A border city? That’s not bad either! I get to collect tolls." Fang Zhengzhi was not threatened in the least.

"You... you shameless fella! Save me! Save me, or... or I will kill you!" Ping Yang was fuming.

However, her tone had changed... she was no longer as arrogant as she was before.

"Hang tight, why don’t I read you a passage from the "Law of Dao"? Which one would you like to hear?" Fang Zhengzhi replied calmly.

Chi Guyan was equally calm.

Even though she was also heaving slightly, she was much calmer than Ping Yang.

The silver light had completely disappeared.

Chi Guyan did not ask Fang Zhengzhi when he would save them. She looked at the sky and the stars, deep in thought.

The stars flickered in the sky.

Just at that moment, there seemed to be something forming in the air. The change was minute, almost like clouds floating by.

But they were not clouds.

It was a strange feeling, almost as if it was raining. However, the falling objects were not raindrops. The objects blocked out the starlight.

There was a suppressive aura that filled the air.

The ’rain’ fell to the ground.

Its intensity was increasing by the moment.

It was almost as if there were countless meteors in the sky, but these meteors were all black in color.

"It’s finally here!" The Demon Domain Chiefs looked at the ’black rain’ their demonic eyes glowing.

They tightened their grips on their weapons.

The shower neared.

The nearer it got, the more intense it was.

It was like a shadow, all of them wearing black armor, exactly the same as those of the demons.

Other than the armor, they had the same spears and bows.

They were identical!

The suppressive aura neared, almost suffocating everyone faced with it.

"Die!" The demon army bellowed. They were overwhelmed by fear, but they showed none of it.

They knew...

There was no retreat.

...

On the walls of the Iron Hill Settlement.

Xing Yuanguo watched on as the figures in black descended on the demons. He had conflicted feelings.

He had faced off against this army of shadows before...

During that battle, thousands of soldiers from the Mountain Breaking Army and Red Pinion Squad lost their lives.

Now...

Something similar was happening.

This time, however, the demons were the target.

Shan Ling was focused on the army of shadows. The stories of The Vast World were no secret.

To the Crown Prince of the Southern Region, this was general knowledge.

It was precisely because he knew what it was, he could not rage at Fang Zhengzhi. He had to suppress his fury right now.

The settlement chiefs were also suppressing their anger and fear. They too feared those shadows.

As for Nangong Hao...

He had closed his eyes, his snow-white academic robe dancing in the wind. He had closed his eyes from the moment he was absorbed into The Vast World.

He never bothered to find the source of the wind...

...

The black figures landed from the sky like raindrops.

However, everyone knew that this was going to be a bloody battle. Their arrival also signified the start of the massacre.

"Die!"

"Die!"

"..."

The black figures had arrived.

They blocked out all the light. They were like a thick black cloud which hovered above the demon army.

"Fire!"

The air was filled with arrows soaring towards the black figures.

However, the arrows never hit their mark. They flew into the sky and through the black figures before crashing into the ground.

Blades clashed together and screams filled the air.

Yun Qingwu shuddered, her face paling. She had never felt such fear in her life, even when she had been captured by Fang Zhengzhi.

But this time...

Her face was devoid of all color.

She could not hide the pain and sadness she felt. However, she did not speak, shivering in her spot...

She was waiting...
