Chapter 759 Lobbyist

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

A hundred thousand mountains.

For most people in this world, it was a familiar and unfamiliar rhetoric.

It represents the distance, represents the legend, and also represents evil and mystery.

Out of his first reaction, the ancient prime minister stepped forward and looked at Fang Ziyu. He cupped his hands and asked, "Does His Majesty think that the slaughter of the three worlds led by Changwu Pass is related to the demon race?"

Without waiting for Fang Ziyu to respond, the similarly old tutor at the side also said, "This lowly official has made such a guess before, but all the records of the demon race in the literature are too scarce, and this lowly official is unable to determine whether this matter is true or false." However, if the demons really did cause trouble, the demons in the hundred thousand mountains would have recovered from the chaos of ancient times after tens of thousands of years of reproduction. "On the other hand, although His Majesty was blessed by the heavens to unify the three kingdoms of Xia, Zhou, and Chen, the people still hadn't recovered from the calamity. The various sects and imperial armies suffered heavy losses. I'm afraid I won't have a chance of winning."

"That's right, Your Majesty! Those demons are ruthless. Since they are capable of massacring the city, they probably won't pay any attention to etiquette, righteousness, and shame. Your Majesty has risked his life. If anything really happens, how should we, the people of Danning Dynasty, deal with ourselves?" Liu Yun, who was at the side, also said anxiously in Fang Ziyu's ear at that time.

Fang Ziyu probably didn't expect that her words would arouse such a big reaction from everyone. When she regained her senses, she smiled bitterly and shook her head. Then, she said, "Everyone, I misunderstood. Half a month ago, I had already fought with the culprit. The culprit is definitely not someone from the demon race."

Half a month ago, everyone still remembered Ziyu's bloody appearance. They had also secretly guessed whether Fang Ziyu had fought against the people who had slaughtered the three worlds. But that evening, Fang Ziyu had also met with the officials of the Imperial Court, and the Changwu Pass closest to Jinling was five thousand kilometers away. Every time, even an immortal would have to spend a day or two. Therefore, everyone subconsciously rejected this speculation. Upon hearing Fang Ziyu's words, they all revealed expressions of shock.

Of course, the strength of an immortal was not something that could be measured by speed alone, but it took him several hours to walk ten thousand kilometers away. Since ancient times, the only person who could accomplish this was probably Supreme True Man from the Lunar Temple. From this, it could be seen how powerful Fang Ziyu was, and how powerful the thief who could severely injure Fang Ziyu was.

All of this information rushed into the minds of everyone present. For a moment, they were sometimes shocked, sometimes frowning, and only after a while did they regain their senses.

"Since His Majesty believes that the thief is not a demon from the hundred thousand mountains, then why did he go forward? Also, this lowly official dares to ask, has His Majesty seen the thief's roots?" After all, the Prime Minister had been in the bureaucracy for many years, and his temperament was naturally much stronger than the people present. After regaining consciousness, he asked again.

Fang Ziyu's eyebrows furrowed. She remembered the sound of sitting on the throne that night. Her face, which was exactly the same as Xu Han's, had always lingered in her mind. She shook her head and said, "That person's strength is extraordinary, and his moves are extremely strange. I have never heard of him before. I secretly speculate that he might be a remnant of the Dark Asura Palace. As for why he went to a hundred thousand mountains …"

At this point, Fang Ziyu paused, determination flashing through his narrowed eyes, and then he said, "Ask for help."

The humans and the demons were enemies.

This was a truth that even a three-year-old child would know. From a mountain that devoured humans to a ghost that attracted humans, from a drowning water monster to a fox that sucked in Yang Qi, every legend in the world about the demon race did its utmost to describe the demon race as incomparably evil. The common people were deceived by such and such stories, and the big shots only thought about the fact that they had been expelled to hundreds of thousands of mountains for tens of thousands of years. From this, they felt the same, and subconsciously thought that there seemed to be no possibility of cooperation between the human race and the demon race.

Therefore, Fang Ziyu's proposal was quickly opposed by the entire government and the public.

However, this Chengtian Great Empress was unyielding. She used a day's time to explain everything and left Changle Palace by herself after leaving a letter late at night.

Those who stand high are destined to see more, and those who carry heavy burdens are destined to think more.

Just as Fang Ziyu did not understand why the Beijiang King had slaughtered all the Mu Clan soldiers who had followed the Mu Clan for many years, why the macheteman and the Sword Immortal had insisted on dying, and why his father had abandoned their mother and daughter, the entire Danning Imperial Court did not understand why their emperor had insisted on going to the 100,000 mountains.

However, these were not important to Fang Ziyu. She knew that such a decision was the right one.

The power that Xu Han possessed was far beyond her ability to resist. Furthermore, the other party's goal was clearly not just the three Earth Realms. This was just a test before the rainstorm. Fang Ziyu wanted to protect this world well. Although she did not have such thoughts in the past, as time passed, she could understand more and more things.

For example, why did Xu Han and Meng Liang allow Chen Xuanji to marry her into the palace? Everyone, including Chen Xuanji, went to Great Abyss Mountain. Then he disappeared. Although Fang Ziyu was unable to delve into what had happened in the battle that had caused the Great Abyss Mountain to collapse, However, there was no doubt that Xu Han and the others had at least bought some time for this world. She was left behind because they had made such a decision behind her back. They wanted to hand over this world that they were desperately guarding to her.

This wasn't something that was hard to guess. In fact, everything that had happened since the calamity was too coincidental. It was as if someone had deliberately arranged everything. Fang Ziyu couldn't understand for a moment, but it didn't mean that she would always be kept in the dark.

That bunch of bastards were acting unscrupulously behind her back, which naturally made Miss Fang very dissatisfied. But since everything had been arranged by that bunch of bastards, Miss Fang could only accept it calmly. Although she was more willing to die with them on the Great Abyss Mountain.

After all, if...

If she really had a path to follow after her death, Fang Ziyu would feel even more confident in cursing those bastards to death after seeing them and doing all the things they had forcibly thrown at her.

After using several spatial distortion techniques, Fang Ziyu took a deep breath when he arrived at the collapsed area of the Great Abyss Mountain.

She could clearly feel that half a month had passed. Even though she was in a coma, her cultivation base was rapidly improving. It seemed that there was some sort of power flowing in from all directions from all over the world, gathering on her body at all times. She wasn't sure how long this process would last, but she knew very well that if this continued, she would soon be able to reach the strength of the legendary True Immortal.

But even so, compared to the "Xu Han" she saw in Changwu Pass that day, she still had no chance of winning.

What the hell was that? Fang Ziyu couldn't help but frown when he thought about the battle with him that day. However, she did not understand. After a few breaths of time, she sighed and put away her thoughts of continuing to do useless work. The fingers under her sleeves formed a mark, and she wanted to once again use the spatial distortion technique to head towards the hundred thousand mountains west of the Azure Province.

However, just as she was about to activate her technique, Fang Ziyu's heart trembled. It was as if she felt something. She raised her head and looked not far away.

It was midnight, and the autumn wind blew. The moonlight was obscured by dark clouds that came from nowhere, and the starlight immediately dimmed a little.

Not far away, on a hill covered in weeds, a black figure stood silently.

His broad black robe swayed in the night breeze, but his body remained motionless, as if he had been standing there for a long time, as if he had just appeared.

Fang Ziyu frowned. It was hard for her to imagine what kind of person with her cultivation could conceal her five senses in such a way that she didn't notice his existence in the past few dozen breaths of time.

This question was quickly answered in Fang Ziyu's heart. A look of vigilance appeared in her eyes. She looked at the voice and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

The silhouette on the hill remained silent, not knowing if it was just a mystery or if he really hadn't heard Fang Ziyu's question.

Just as Fang Ziyu's heart was filled with anger, that figure suddenly disappeared. Before the astonishment on Fang Ziyu's face could spread out, the disappearing figure suddenly appeared in front of Fang Ziyu.

Fang Ziyu was shocked. She could clearly see that Fang Ziyu did not use the spatial distortion technique just like her. Instead, she used her speed to create the illusion of disappearing out of thin air and appearing out of thin air. Even Fang Ziyu was able to keep up with this speed.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I can help His Majesty." The black-robed man said in a hoarse voice, like the sound of a withered tree branch being broken.

Fang Ziyu took a step back. She stared at the other party, wanting to see what kind of face was hidden beneath the black robe. With her cultivation, it was not difficult for her to do this. In fact, even the darkness of the Changwu Pass that blocked the starlight could not block her line of sight. However, the face under the black hood seemed to be shrouded in a strange power. Even with Fang Ziyu's eyesight, he was unable to see it clearly.

"Help me? How can you help me?" Fang Ziyu could only ask in a deep voice. She had secretly mobilized the power in her body. Once the other party acted, she would immediately counterattack.

The black-robed man seemed to have seen through Fang Ziyu's thoughts, but he did not point it out.

"Your Majesty wants to go to the hundred thousand mountains. Does Your Majesty think there must be something there that can help you?" The black-robed man remained silent as he continued to ask in his voice that was so calm that it was almost ice-cold.

Fang Ziyu's heart surged with shock again. There weren't many people who knew that she was going to the hundred thousand mountains, Fang Ziyu didn't dare to guarantee that none of these people would leak this matter out. However, when the time came, she had just left Changle Palace. Logically speaking, the letters she left behind probably hadn't been discovered yet. Then why was this black-robed person able to find her so accurately?

Fang Ziyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you know everything, why don't we cut to the chase and tell us how you intend to help me?"

"It is said that only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one win a hundred battles. If His Majesty does not even understand who he is and who the enemy is, how can he be his enemy?" Said the black-robed man softly.

This time, Fang Ziyu no longer answered. Instead, he looked at the black robe with deep eyes.

The black-robed man seemed to have understood Fang Ziyu's thoughts, so he no longer wanted to make a fuss. Instead, he continued, "Outside this world, there is an infinite world. That enormous world is called the Myriad Domains of the Universe."

"Although the countless worlds in the Myriad Domains of the Universe are different, their essence is ultimately the same."

"There are a lot of creatures in these worlds. They were chosen by the will of the world and became the rulers and guardians of that world. In the eyes of most other creatures, this small group of creatures is called … gods."

"And you are the god chosen by this world."

Fang Ziyu raised his eyebrows. This was the second time she had heard someone mention this phrase. However, it was hard for her to tell if it was true or not. She suppressed the doubts in her heart and asked indifferently, "Then what?"

"As you can see, the world you live in is being invaded by the most evil beings in the universe. Your friends have already become captives of that thing, and what you need to do as the chosen god of the world is not to place your hopes on others, but to grasp the power of being a god before evil descends completely."

"Are you saying that once I grasp the power you speak of, I will be able to fight against those things?" Fang Ziyu frowned. He was obviously still suspicious of what the black robe said.

The black-robed man shook his head and replied confidently, "That evil has destroyed countless worlds. If it was so easy to resist, how could we allow him to disrupt the universe for so many years? You have become a god, but you only have the chance to resist him. However, this does not mean that we will definitely succeed."

"Us?"

"Yes, we. We will help you." The black-robed man said again.

Fang Ziyu had doubts in her heart. She narrowed her eyes and carefully looked at the black robe in front of her. She couldn't help but feel hesitation in her heart towards someone who had suddenly appeared and said so many horrifying words to her. So she asked in a low voice, "Why should I believe you? I don't even know who you are."

The black robe was silent for a moment, then he extended his hand and slowly took off the hood on his head, revealing his figure beneath it.

But what surprised Fang Ziyu was that there was no human figure under the hood. Instead, it was a ball of black and white alternating energy that was constantly surging.

"Gui Gu Zi."

"The Gui Gu Zi who always wanted to kill Xu Han."
