Gate of God - Chapter 926

Chapter 926: Trying to Take Advantage of Me?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The ancient saying went, ‘making a compromise will resolve a conflict much more easily’.

Fang Zhengzhi did not like to give in because he knew that when one got used to giving in, one would often end up in a disadvantageous position. Therefore, he was more inclined towards advancing, though it had nothing to do with the theory about “attack” and “defend”.

In short, he decided to advance step by step, forcing Shan Yu to give up the Southern Region so as to ensure her safety.

That was Fang Zhengzhi’s plan.

Nevertheless, that was just his plan. Fang Zhengzhi did not miss out anything when he was supposed to appreciate Shan Yu. He had looked at her from head to toe extremely carefully, just like the saying that went ”.

However, when the Demon soldiers and the Demon Lord witnessed this, they felt speechless.

It was the Sagely Battle God Meng Tian, the first powerful man in the history of hundreds of years, the real man who once stood at the peak of the world!

Indeed, he was very…

Manly!

The Demon soldiers felt strange but they could not make any comments as nobody had ever seen the real appearance of the Sagely Battle God Meng Tian.

Therefore, nobody would know how the Sagely Battle God Meng Tian behaved and what type of woman he liked.

“Meng Tian, even if you are the Sagely Battle God and our Senior, you can’t … can’t…” One of the Settlement Chiefs of the Southern Region could no longer hold it in.

“Not willing to? Alright, then we shall not discuss this any further. Stop the nonsense and let’s go.” Fang Zhengzhi did not mind and immediately stopped looking at Shan Yu.

“Hold on…” Shan Yu bit her lips, flushed slightly, and frowned as though she was making an extremely difficult decision.

Looking at this, Fang Zhengzhi’s heart fluttered. “F*ck… Don’t tell me that Shan Yu is really willing to sell herself to become a slave?”

Just as he was thinking about this, he saw Shan Yu take a deep breath and opened her mouth, as though as she had made the decision.

“You don’t have to give me a reply so quickly.” Fang Zhengzhi raised his arm and stopped Shan Yu. Then, he looked around. “As the Queen of the Southern Region, you should mind your words and mind the occasion. Furthermore, I hope that you give me a reply only after giving it a serious thought.”

After Fang Zhengzhi spoke, he did not wait for Shan Yu to reply and pointed towards the Southern Region. “Queen of the Southern Region, if we don’t leave now, we probably won’t be able to leave anymore.”

“…” Shan Yu swallowed her words as she saw Fang Zhengzhi’s gaze.

Meanwhile, the Demon Soldiers felt that they were struck by lightning.

“Mind the occasion?”

“Mind my words?”

“Isn’t this referring to ‘Meng Tian’ himself?”

The Demon Soldiers were really speechless as after all, they did not expect the Sagely Battle God Meng Tian to be so thick-skinned.

After listening to Fang Zhengzhi’s words, the few Settlement Chiefs also looked confused. However, they quickly noticed the spot in front of the Gate of the Blood Shadow City.

A large number of Demon soldiers charged towards the gates with a few Demon Domain Chiefs and Demon seniors amongst them. This stunned them.

“Your Highness, let’s leave!”

“Yes, we can talk after we leave!”

The few Settlement Chiefs of the Southern Region said.

“Senior, I only hope that you mean your words!” Shan Yu looked outside the gate and ran in the direction of the Southern Region.

“Mean my words?”Fang Zhengzhi smiled bitterly as he looked at Shan Yu’s back profile. “Shan Yu, this girl… is really stubborn. If I trick her into signing a contract to sell herself, would she kill me when she realizes who I am in the future?”

…

At dawn two days later, two beasts glowing with golden radiance landed at the gate of the Blood Shadow City. Their long tails dropped from the gate all the way to the rocks on the ground.

The Golden-feathered Phoenix Beast!

The king of the Fowl, they could travel a thousand miles with a flap of their wings.

“Young Lord!!!”

“Demon Deity!”

As the Demon soldiers who were repairing the gate saw the white and black figures standing on the two golden beasts, they fell to their knees.

Following that, a team lead by several elders of the Demon Race along with a few Domain Chiefs walked towards the gate.

“Young Lord, I did not do my best in protection, please punish me!”

“Where’s my father?” Instead of looking at the gate which had been split apart, Yun Qingwu looked quietly at the Demon palace which had collapsed.

How could she not have noticed the state of the Demon palace as she descended from the sky? When she rushed back within two short days, she did not even have the chance to shut her eyes and rest.

“Demon Lord is…”

“We seek your forgiveness!”

“Young Lord, Demon Lord is… caught by Meng Tian…”

The elders and the Domain Chiefs lowered their heads and did not dare to take a look at Yun Qingwu.

“Meng Tian… Father is caught by Meng Tian…” Yun Qingwu’s body shook and her facial expression changed, evidently, she could not stabilize herself.

“Young Lord, I will give chase now. I will definitely get Demon Lord back!” Lin Yu finally spoke.

“No, it had been two days, it’s impossible to get him back.” Yun Qingwu took a look at the broken gate and the crack that had extended to the entrance of the gate and said, “Meng Tian… Did he say anything or try to strike a deal?”

“This…”

“I don’t think so!”

“Meng Tian only asked us to leave the Gold Mine Station of the Southern Region. Other than that, he did not say anything.”

After glancing at each other? The elders and Domain Chiefs of the Demon Race shook their heads.

“Leave the Gold Mine Station of the Southern Region?” Yun Qingwu frowned and almost fell from the back of the Golden-feathered Phoenix Beast.

“Young Lord had not slept for two full days, accompany her to get some rest first!” Upon seeing this, Lin Yu walked towards Yun Qingwu but did not touch her.

“It’s okay.” Yun Qingwu shook her head and looked at the Elders and Domain Chiefs underneath. “Where’s Domain Chief Ying? Why didn’t I see him?”

“Young Lord, because Domain Chief Ying re… rebelled, he is currently in jail…” The Elders and Domain Chiefs of the Demon Race looked at each other and hesitated for a moment before replying.

“Rebel?” Yun Qingwu raised one of her hands and pressed it on her head. Then, her eyes lit up and said, “Noted, let Domain Chief Ying reflect in jail then, I will put Tian Yu in charge of the Shadow City temporarily!”

“Yes!” Domain Chief Tian Yu abided by Yun Qingwu’s orders.

Meanwhile, the other Domain Chiefs looked at each other with confusion in their eyes. Ying Dao was someone whom Yun Qingwu trusted a lot.

They had thought initially that Ying Dao would be released from jail once Yun Qingwu returned. However, Yun Qingwu did not do so, instead of releasing Ying Dao, she handed over the job to overlook the Shadow City to Tian Yu?

Why?

None of the Domain Chiefs could figure out why.

However, despite not understanding Yun Qingwu’s rationale, none of the Domain Chiefs objected because Yun Qingwu’s decision gave them a sense of fairness.

“Young Lord, indeed our Young Lord…” After seeing the expressions of the surrounding Domain Chiefs, the Great Elder of the Demon Race lowered his head and stopped talking.

Meanwhile, Tian Yu who just took over the Shadow City began speaking, “Young Lord, should we send the soldiers to check on Demon Lord’s whereabouts?”

“There’s no need for that.” Yun Qingwu shook her head. “Although Meng Tian did not mention about any terms, he would definitely come and find me since he took my Father.”

“Do you need us to wait here?”

“He shouldn’t come back to the Blood Shadow City. If I guess correctly, he should be on his way to the Holy Region.” Yun Qingwu shook her head again.

“Holy Region… then we…”

“No change in plan.” Yun Qingwu broke off the Domain Chief Tian Yu’s sentence and turned to Lin Yu. “Let’s go and wait for him at the Holy Region.”

“Don’t you need a short rest, Young Lord?” Lin Yu asked upon seeing how tired Yun Qingwu looked.

“There needs to be some adjustments to the plan for the Holy Region. I need to confirm something first.”

“Confirm something? Understood.” Lin Yu nodded without asking further and hopped back onto the Golden-feathered Phoenix Beast.

Yo! A sharp sound was heard.

The Golden-feathered Phoenix Beast expanded its arms and flew into the sky in an instant. With each flap of its giant wings, a violent aura was felt from the sky.

Meanwhile, Yun Qingwu gently raised her head.

The sun had not risen completely and the sky was only golden-red. However, Yun Qingwu bit her lips. “Is it really Meng Tian?”

…

At the opening of a cave along the road to the Great Xia and Holy Region, Fang Zhengzhi stood in front of the cave and looked at the same sky which the sun had not risen.

Meanwhile, in the cave, Shan Yu knelt in front of a tomb made up of stones. A few big words were carved on the tombstone.

“The Tomb of the King of the Southern Region!”

“My Lord, although Senior Meng Tian helped us retrieve the remains of the previous King, after all, you are still the Queen of the Southern Region, are you really willing to become the slave for Meng Tian…” After looking at Shan Yu who was kneeling on the floor, the few Settlement Chiefs of the Southern Region stopped halfway through their sentence.

“Do you think that I will go against my promise?” Shan Yu wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes and looked up at the Settlement Chiefs.

“Er…” The few Settlement Chiefs took a glance at each other and fell silent.

At this moment, Lin Ji, who was tied up at a corner, started laughing as she looked at the Demon Lord who was also tied up and then the stone tomb.

“Selling yourself as a slave for a set of useless remains? How pathetic!” Lin Ji sneered.

“I’m not sure how did Monster Lin Ji sell herself as a slave to Yun Qingwu and suck up to her?” A voice was heard from the entrance of the cave and following that, a figure walked out of the cave.

“Nonsense, since when did I sell myself as a slave?” Lin Ji replied without giving much thoughts as she knew who had walked in.

“Oh? You didn’t?” Fang Zhengzhi sneered.

“Of course not!” Lin Ji sounded very sure.

“Then I don’t understand why is the Godly State expert willing to follow the commands of a weak person like Yun Qingwu?” Fang Zhengzhi said.

“Weak? Haha…” Lin Ji laughed and she seemed to be in thought. “I’m not sure if the Sagely Battle God knows how to play chess?”

“A little.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded.

“If I used 100 pawns and you used 50, are you confident that you will win me?” Lin Ji asked.

“100 versus 50 pawns?” Fang Zhengzhi was stunned for a moment before he proceeded to sit down. “If my opponent was you, I think I stand a high chance to win.”

“Hahaha… Meng Tian, I am starting to like your confidence, or maybe, shamelessness?” Lin Ji laughed again. “However, even if you are willing to win my 100 pawns with 50 pawns, I won’t listen to you because Young Empress only uses 15 pawns!”

“15 pawns?”

“That’s right, Young Empress had ever won 100 pawns with 15 pawns on the Heaven Zen Mountain!” Lin Ji sounded very impressed.

“Won 100 pawns with 15 pawns?” Fang Zhengzhi finally understood why the Godly State experts who descended after the Gate of God of the Realm of Monsters and Demons opened had listened to Yun Qingwu.

One chess game!

Winning 100 pawns with 15 pawns!

It sounded like something ordinary but only those who truly understands it would appreciate the ultimate scheme and mind game involved.

Of course, Fang Zhengzhi knew that the game on the Heaven Zen Mountain was not merely a game but rather a “plan”, a “plan” of the battle between humankind and the Monster Race and Demon Race.

Winning despite having lesser numbers, winning 100 people with 15!

“It seems like you are trying to lure me to the Heaven Zen Mountain to look at the game?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Lin Ji.

Lin Ji’s body shook and looked slightly surprised by the fact that Fang Zhengzhi could read her mind. However, she began to laugh hysterically again. “You are right, not sure if Sagely Battle God Meng Tian dares to go!”

“Go… of course I need to go. However, before I go; I need to first resolve the… personal problems between us.” Fang Zhengzhi looked brazenly at Lin Ji.

“Are you trying to take advantage of me?” Lin Ji twisted her body as she felt Fang Zhengzhi’s haze. Instead of dodging, she raised her chest towards Fang Zhengzhi.
