Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five was asking for Fang Zhengzhi’s opinion.
However, his dragon claw had shifted Nangong Mu’s body towards himself while he placed his other dragon claw in between Nangong Mu and Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi figured out the intention of the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five.
Nangong Mu was the descendant of Emperor Yan and could be said to be the last bloodline of Emperor Yan in this world. As the beast owned by Emperor Huang, Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five did not want to see the bloodline of Emperor Yan die off like that.
The relationship between Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang was extraordinary.
Even though they had some hiccups for some issues, their relationship was not strained as a result but still maintained their brotherly love.
However, after thousands of years, this brotherly love was misunderstood by the descendants of Emperor Yan and people thought that Emperor Yan was competing with Emperor Huang for the rule over the world.
That resulted in the mission of the Nangong Nobles.
Fang Zhengzhi found out about all of these from the stone tablet and knew about the misunderstanding.
Be it Nangong Hao or Nangong Mu, or even Nangong Tian, the head of the Nangong Nobles, they all grew up with this misunderstanding and became the sacrifice.
“Do you have a way to restrain his powers?” Fang Zhengzhi asked. He did not need to kill Nangong Mu anyway.
Nangong Mu was the victim.
He was now on the floor, unconscious. As long as one could remove his misunderstanding about the mission of the Nangong Nobles, based on Nangong Mu’s personality, he would not be so violent.
“Yes.” The Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five nodded after being stunned for a moment.
He was evidently surprised by Fang Zhengzhi’s decision. To him, Nangong Mu had vowed to kill Fang Zhengzhi and hence Fang Zhengzhi would not let Nangong Mu off so easily.
That was the logic of the ancient era.
Powerful people were respected, he would definitely let people who may bring trouble to them live.
However, Fang Zhengzhi did not say much. Instead, he asked the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five if he could keep Nangong Mu’s powers in restraint. This shocked the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five slightly.
Apart from the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five, the Human Alliance and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race were also confused.
“Why didn’t he kill him straightaway?”
“Exactly, Nangong Mu betrayed humankind, he deserves to die!”
“He even killed the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race, this kind of man does not deserve to live!”
The Human Alliance and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race all wanted Nangong Mu to die as, after all, not only was Nangong Mu a traitor of humankind, but he was also the enemy of the Monster Race and Demon Race.
The winner becomes the King and the loser becomes the bandit.
This was perfectly-explained.
There was always an ancient saying that went, “one’s success was exchanged with thousands of lives”, this sentence described the scenario during the situation when one became a General or an Emperor. However, nobody brought up this sentence if they were not a general or an Emperor.
That was because they had become those who were despised and looked down upon by others.
That was the hard truth.
That was what Nangong Mu was experiencing now. He had lost, he had lost because he was not determined enough.
“Roar!” The voice of the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five was heard. He looked around with his golden eyes and the Human Alliance and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race shut up immediately. “I am making a decision here, how dare all of you to discuss amongst yourselves?”
“…”
“…”
The Human Alliance and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race shut up immediately.
After all, they had witnessed the power of Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five with their own eyes. Even someone as powerful as Nangong Mu could not withstand the legendary fifth claw, of course, they would die under the fifth claw of the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five.
“I have some questions to ask you,” asked Fang Zhengzhi as he ignored the Human Alliance and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race.
“Shoot.” The Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five nodded. He could guess what Fang Zhengzhi wanted to ask.
“Is this really the tomb of Emperor Huang Xuanyuan?”
“Hmm.” The Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five made a sound of affirmation and clearly did not want to provide more answers to the question.
Fang Zhengzhi could understand how the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five felt.
Emperor Huang Xuanyuan was his owner. However, after he broke through the galaxy, he was unable to return to the world he was initially in. That was rather embarrassing.
Fang Zhengzhi also did not continue asking about the details and only looked around. “Since it’s the tomb of Emperor Huang Xuanyuan, you should know the way out?”
“Yes.” The Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five nodded again.
“What’s the way out?”
“Return with the same path.”
“…” Fang Zhengzhi was stunned. The tomb of Emperor Huang Xuanyuan required one to trace back with the initial path, how ridiculous was that?
Was there no such thing as a “prize for passing”?
How stingy!
Fang Zhengzhi was slightly unhappy. However, he had no choice but to follow what the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five said even though he was reluctant.
“Then let’s go?”
“Actually? There’s another way out apart from returning from the original route,” said the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five casually after hearing Fang Zhengzhi’s response.
“F*ck, I knew that there was a ‘shortcut’. Hurry up and tell me what is it? Dahuan Pill or the legendary tactic left behind by the Emperor Huang Xuanyuan?” Fang Zhengzhi knew he was fooled by Xuanyuan Five.
How could there be no treasures in the tomb of Emperor Huang Xuanyuan?
That was so odd!
“There are no tactics, there’s only a treasure.” The Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five hesitated as he took a look at Fang Zhengzhi but he still told him.
“Treasure? What treasure?” Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes glowed.
The treasure of Emperor Huang Xuanyuan was definitely extraordinary. Perhaps it was the legendary Xuanyuan Sword, one of the ten greatest treasures of the ancient era.
The thought of that made one excited.
“Make a guess.” The Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five winked at Fang Zhengzhi.
“…” Fang Zhengzhi was stunned.
Make a guess?
Guess for f*ck!
How to make a guess when there were millions of treasures in the world?
“Hmm, you have three chances. If you managed to guess correctly, I will consider telling you the answer. If not, then blame yourself for not having the fate with the treasure,” said the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five nonchalantly.
“Xuanyuan Five, don’t acquiesce to something after having refused someone’s first overture!”
“Are you trying to pick a fight?”
“…” Fang Zhengzhi really wanted to fight with the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five but he definitely could not win with his injuries.
He would only be tortured if he tried.
“What if I exchanged it with one of my wishes?” Fang Zhengzhi carefully pondered over it and decided to sacrifice one of his wishes.
“No.” The Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five shook his head.
“I can’t even exchange it with one wish?” Fang Zhengzhi was somewhat shocked. He had always thought that the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five was behaving as such because he wanted to trick him to use up one of his wishes.
However, it looked like it was not the case.
“This is the rule set by Emperor Huang. He said that if I am able to get out to the world, I can give the person who freed me three guesses. If the person manages to make the correct guess, I can give the person the treasure,” said the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five confidently before he paused and continued again, “Of course you can exchange this with your three wishes.”
“F*ck!” Fang Zhengzhi finally understood.
The dragon was indeed blackmailing him. However, he was blackmailing him with not one but three wishes. What a cruel dragon.
“So what do you think about the intelligence of a dragon now?” The Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five smiled and looked like he got Fang Zhengzhi.
“…”
Indeed, the ancient saying went, it was not because one did not want to take revenge but rather because the opportunity was not ripe yet
Fang Zhengzhi was speechless. The dragon was too sly. He went one whole round and his intention was to make an exchange with Fang Zhengzhi’s three wishes.
Moreover, Fang Zhengzhi could not do anything to that dragon.
Make a guess!
He had three guesses!
But what on earth was the treasure?
“Is it the Xuanyuan sword?” Fang Zhengzhi remembered that the most powerful weapon of Emperor Huang Xuanyuan in the legends he had seen was the Xuanyuan sword.
Therefore, it would be normal for the treasure to be the Xuanyuan Sword.
As that was the answer Fang Zhengzhi was the surest about, he guessed it in the first try.
“Wrong.” The Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five shook his head and his smile widened as though he saw the light of victory. “You still have two tries, treasure them!”
“…” Fang Zhengzhi could only give the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five a middle finger and cursed him silently.
It was not the Xuanyuan Sword!
Then what else could be in the tomb of Emperor Huang Xuanyuan?
Fang Zhengzhi turned around and looked at Wu Yuer. After all, she had some understanding of treasures.
“Give a suggestion?” asked Fang Zhengzhi.
“I have no clue, but I think it’s something very powerful. If not, this dragon would not ask to exchange for your three wishes so confidently,” said Wu Yuer.
“This lassie is spot-on, this treasure is extraordinary. Fang Zhengzhi, even if you exchanged it for three wishes, it is worth it!” The Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five nodded immediately after hearing what Wu Yuer said.
Fang Zhengzhi ignored the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five.
Only a fool would be willing to use three of his wishes to exchange for a treasure which he was about to get!
The dragon was clearly competing with him to see who was more patient.
Fang Zhengzhi was almost confident that the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five would ignore the treasure and leave the tomb of the Emperor Huang Xuanyuan with him.
He would definitely bring the treasure along.
Fang Zhengzhi knew that very well but he really could not do anything to the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five as, after all, he really had no patience to waste his time on the Golden Dragon who had guarded the area for thousands of years.
He was still looking at Wu Yuer.
However, Wu Yuer had shut up. That was the most she could think of and could not confirm what was the exact treasure.
Fang Zhengzhi felt helpless and turned to look at Ping Yang.
Ping Tang looked extremely excited and her big clear eyes kept turning before she gave an answer, “Ruyi Golden Cudgel, the one whose length could be changed!”
“What f*cking Cudgel, what f*cking Ruyi, what f*cking change of length?!” Fang Zhengzhi cursed right away, what kind of ridiculous answer was that?
That was f*cking in the Journey to the West!
Fang Zhengzhi did tell Ping Yang the story about Journey to the West but that was completely unrelated to the ancient era.
It was something that took place in another era.
“It’s not the Ruyi Golden Cudgel? Then it must be the Golden hoop, the one on the neck. Yes… it must be the Golden hoop, the hoop must have used it to put around the neck of this dragon! Am I smart?” Ping Yang did not mind how Fang Zhengzhi cursed and continued in excitement.
“…”
“Still not correct? Then it must be the armor? The golden invincible armor that could not be affected by water or fire. It should be similar to the scales on the dragon and is called the Dragon Armor, am I right?”
“…”
“The Thunderbolt Spear which can control lightning and thunder and is extremely majestic…”
“…” Fang Zhengzhi stopped looking at Ping Yang. She was too unreliable, if he followed the way she guessed, he would have depleted his two chances immediately.
Then, he would be left with exchanging the answer with his three wishes.
Fang Zhengzhi was helpless and finally turned to Yun Qingwu.
Yun Qingwu was definitely more reliable in terms of intelligence.
Moreover, Yun Qingwu was extremely meticulous and noticed the minute details. Even Fang Zhengzhi was not as good as Yun Qingwu in this aspect.
Since he was sure that it was the tomb of the Emperor Huang Xuanyuan and there was an extraordinary treasure in it, he could definitely try his luck.
“Are you trying to ask me for an answer?” Yun Qingwu understood what Fang Zhengzhi was thinking about when she saw his gaze.
“We are now on the same team, that’s what you said.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
“Still?” asked Yun Qingwu.
“You mean we are not anymore?” asked Fang Zhengzhi.
“I really hope we are, but unfortunately… Nangong Mu had been defeated and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race are unable to defend themselves in front of you. The Monster Race and Demon Race had already lost and can no longer retreat, they are here for you to slaughter as you wish. Therefore, you can kill me without any worries,” replied Yun Qingwu.
Fang Zhengzhi was stunned. Then, he turned to look at the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race and saw terror in their eyes.
Yes, the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race were terrified.
Like what Yun Qingwu said, Fang Zhengzhi and the Human Alliance were at an absolute advantage now. The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race had no power to defend or counterattack if he wanted to kill them.
However…
Was it so easy to kill them?
Fang Zhengzhi was not naive enough to believe that the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race would stay on the spot and wait for the Human Alliance to carry out their massacre.
Even an anxious rabbit would bite, a large number of troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race would definitely do something.
Although the Human Alliance had an absolute advantage, the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race would definitely counterattack if they conducted a massacre.
With the state that the Human Alliance was in, without the help of the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five, they would definitely lose to the powerful troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race.
If they were forced, the outcome was obvious.
Fang Zhengzhi fell silent. His wish was to defeat Yun Qingwu but it was really difficult to do so.
“I think we should talk about the treasure, how confident are you to make the correct guess?” Fang Zhengzhi decided to leave that matter aside as he was concerned about the treasure now.
“100 percent,” replied Yun Qingwu calmly.
“Can you don’t pretend to be so confident?” Fang Zhengzhi scolded her in his heart before realizing that something was wrong. “That sounds like my line?”
