From King Duan’s impression, Fang Zhengzhi indeed had the habit of watching a troublesome issue unfold. However, he did not like endangering himself in these situations. In other words, while Fang Zhengzhi liked some conflict, he did not wish to be inside them.


    However, what was happening in the pce now was...


    "There is something wrong!" King Duan quickly came to a conclusion that Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang’s appearance was definitely not one of coincidence.


    Although...


    What was their purpose ofing?


    Apanying him into the pce? If it was only Fang Zhengzhi alone, this would be possible. However, Ping Yang could easily bring him into the pce. Entering the pce would not be a problem in the first ce.


    Why then would he want to deliberately follow him?


    King Duan could not understand his actions. Subconsciously, he heard a voice telling him that he should not allow Fang Zhengzhi to follow behind him.


    However, another voice was telling him that if Fang Zhengzhi truly wished to be involved in this situation, it would be better to keep an eye on him.


    This was a troublesome decision.


    One on hand, King Duan wanted to see what Fang Zhengzhi wanted to do. On the other hand, he was afraid of Fang Zhengzhi’s special purpose of following him.


    Just when he was struggling with the two decisions, the battle at the pce entrance hade to an end.


    A huge group of royal guardsy in a pool of blood while the surviving guards had already retreated into the pce. The city guards had sessfully upied the entrance to the pce.


    "Charge!" King Duan did not hesitate upon seeing this scene. He immediately issued an order. As for Fang Zhengzhi...


    He had too much to attend to right now.


    He would let Fang Zhengzhi follow him. Why would he be afraid?


    This was King Duan’s exact thought.


    Following King Duan’smand, the city guards charged into the pce, their war cries echoing through the pce.


    King Duan also entered the pce immediately.


    "We enter as well right?" Ping Yang blinked her eyes as she stared at Fang Zhengzhi.


    "Alright, but you must first promise me a few things," Fang Zhengzhi stared at the city guards and Lin Xinjue as they stormed into the pce as he wore an unusually serious expression on his face.


    "Speak!" Ping Yang was stunned as she looked at Fang Zhengzhi’s expression. She then bit her pink lips in apprehension.


    "Firstly, after entering the pce, you must stay by Yan Xiu and my side. You must be less than five steps away from us!" Fang Zhengzhi said.


    "Okay!" Ping Yang answered and nodded her head.


    "Secondly, you can only watch. Do not try to fight while you are inside!" Fang Zhengzhi then said.


    "But what if something is happening to father..."


    "If it is something the Emperor cannot solve, do you think you will be able to?" Fang Zhengzhi interrupted before Ping Yang couldplete her sentence.


    "I... I think I can do it!" Ping Yang bit her lip and said after a moment of hesitation. Her final answer was filled with conviction.


    "You can?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Ping Yang quizzically.


    "Yes, I am strong!" Ping Yang nodded as she affirmed.


    "Who are you trying to fool... have you reached Heavenly Reflection State?" Fang Zhengzhi stared at Ping Yang’s confident face and could not help butment.


    "No, but I am strong!" Ping Yang seemed extremely determined.


    "Alright then, but, without my permission, you cannot do anything." Fang Zhengzhi fell speechless. Following which, he then looked at the huge wave of city guards entering the pce and shook his head before saying, "Alright, I mean to tell me before you act rashly."


    "Alright!" Ping Yang nodded upon hearing those words.


    "Yan Xiu, let’s go!" Fang Zhengzhi cast his nce at Yan Xiu, who kept silent all this time.


    "Alright," Yan Xiu nodded.


    The three of them quickly entered the pce.


    However...


    After just a few steps, they stopped. This was because King Duan Lin Xinjue and the guards had stopped as well.


    In front of the city guards were thousand over ck figures.


    Under the concealment of the night sky, thousand over ck figures blocked the way. Each of them held a shiny weapon in their hands, reflecting the moonlight and giving off a chilling presence.


    Beside those ck figures were royal guards d in golden armorying weak on the floor and drenched in perspiration.


    "It seems like... we will need to engage in one more battle. Let’s find a safe ce to watch this show." Fang Zhengzhi pouted as he said to Ping Yang.


    "Alright then," Ping Yang agreed as well.


    This conversation was naturally heard by King Duan Lin Xinjue. In an instant, he subconsciously tightened his grip on his weapon.


    Outside the pce, on top of a building


    Su Qing stood on the rooftop d in a neat court attire. The ck figures behind him stood motionless as well.


    At that moment, a ck figure once againnded behind Su Qing.


    "Reporting my lord. King Duan has entered the pce. However, apart from King Duan..." The ck figure hesitated and stopped speaking.


    "What else is there?" Su Qing frowned as he said.


    The n was crucial. He did not wish for any idents to happen. Naturally, he did not like to hear something that he did not expect.


    "Apart from King Duan, Fang Zhengzhi had also entered the pce together." The ck figure quickly answered upon hearing Su Qing’s words.


    "Fang Zhengzhi?" Su Qing was startled as he subconsciously clenched his fist. "You are saying Fang Zhengzhi and King Duan appeared at the entrance of the pce, and entered the pce together?"


    "No, Fang Zhengzhi appeared after King Duan. Fang Zhengzhi was apanied by Ping Yang and Yan Xiu as well.


    "Can you be sure that Fang Zhengzhi did not n this together with King Duan?" Su Qing asked while he pondered the consequences.


    He did not believe that Fang Zhengzhi and King Duan nned something beforehand.


    However...


    He was not going to take chances.


    After all, if Fang Zhengzhi was indeed an aplice of King Duan. His current n might be heavily disrupted.


    "I don’t think so. From what I observed, Fang Zhengzhi even used King Duan of treason and revolt upon his arrival, shouting at the top of his lungs. In order to not attract attention, King Duan then allowed Fang Zhengzhi to apany him into the pce!" The ck figure recalled as he shook his head.


    "Alright, I understand. Continue to keep an eye on them. If anything happens, report immediately!" Su Qing nodded as he waved to the ck figure.


    "Yes!" The ck figure immediately left to fulfill his mission.


    A ck figure standing behind Su Qing then stepped forward. He then bowed respectfully to Su Qing before whispering, "My lord, do we have to report this situation to Young Master. After all, this wasn’t part of our n!"


    "idents are bound to happen. Young Master will be able to take care of it!" Su Qing frowned as he replied the ck figure.


    "I understand," The ck figure nodded as he retreated to his original position.


    Su Qing then cast his nce back at the pce as he frowned. His eyes exuded a chilling presence as he thought, to think that you would choose to appear at this time... Fang Zhengzhi, what is your aim?


    Simply watching a show?


    That’s not right!


    Su Qing shook his head as he thought. In his n, he expected Fang Zhengzhi to show up. However, he did not expect that Fang Zhengzhi would show up in this manner.


    There was no advantage to showing up at this moment.


    "Fang Zhengzhi, don’t you know that only people who can withstand pressure and hardship will achieve the final victory? I thought you have improved over the years, however... you are still as reckless as you were a year ago! You thought that you would know the entire n simply by following King Duan? How na?ve!"


    Su Qing snickered as he thought. However, he still felt that something was amiss. It seemed like a bad premonition.


    This was because he could not understand. If Fang Zhengzhi appeared with King Duan at the pce entrance...


    What could he aplish?


    "Even if you know that King Duan yed an important role in my n, what can the three of you do to an entire army of city guards? What ruckus can you wreck on my beautiful n?"


    Within the throne room.


    The bronze gate stood righteously within the throne room. It exuded a deste presence as a giant w slowly emerged from the gate.


    A green metallic scale covered the w.


    Roar!


    The sound of a giant beast echoed through the room.


    The gravels within the throne room began to move about from the shockwaves of the roar. Following which, another w emerged.


    A spiral-shaped horn then appeared from the gate.


    Lin Mubai immediately squinted his eyes at this moment. He stared at the huge figure emerging from the bronze gate. However, he did not show any signs of retreating.


    Finally...


    The beastpletely revealed itself.


    A beastpletely covered in green scales appeared in the throne room. It had a sharp spiral horn on its head and a thick mane. It looked simr to a green colored lion and was 25-foot-tall.


    It appeared out of nowhere from the bronze door.


    Clearly, this was a ferocious beast.


    However, this was not just any ferocious beast.


    "Beast, Green Scaled Suanni!" Eunuch Wei’s voice rose at this moment. His eyes were glued to the humongous beast emerging from the gate.


    The Law of Dao had its records.


    The dragon had nine offsprings, each of them starkly different. The Suanni was one of the nine offsprings. Although the Suanni in front of their eyes was not a true Suanni, it possessed all the characteristics of it. It possessed at least 70% of the true Suanni bloodline.


    However, this was not the end. After the Suanni appeared, the bronze gate did not close. It continued to shine with a sinister brilliance.


    Quickly...


    The roar of another beast appeared from within the gate.


    A back figure then dashed out of the bronze gate, the heatwaves generated from its body engulfing the throne room. A pair of blinding red wings then appeared in the air.


    Screech!


    The piercing scream prated through dark skies into the horizon.


    A crimson me enveloped its body and vaporized a small part of the clouds floating on the ceiling of the throne room. It then looked downwards with its eyes constructed purely from mes.


    "Beast, ming Phoenix!" Eunuch Wei once again stared at the soaring beast in the air as beads of perspiration appeared on his forehead.


    However, this did not seem to be the end.


    After the appearance of the phoenix, the bronze gate once again shone with the familiar sinister brilliance. Huge ferocious beasts then emerged from it consecutively.


    In an instant...


    The spacious throne room was filled up.


    "Five of them!" Eunuch Wei stared at the five huge figures and the bronze gate, which had finally returned to its normal state, in awe. He felt a shiver down his spine.


    Roar! The ferocious beasts growled in unison.


    The Green Scaled Suanni was already impatient as it was the first one to emerge from the gate. It swung its ws around and immediately made a huge crack on a huge pir holding up the throne room.


    Creak! The cracks continued spreading through the pir.


    Boom!


    The entire pir was smashed to smithereens.


    The moment Lin Mubai saw this scene, he clenched his fist subconsciously. The throne room was passed and protected from generation to generation. Although the destruction of a single pir would not destroy the entire throne room...


    If the five beasts continued to have their way within the throne room, it would no longer exist after this fight.


    "Emperor of the Great Xia, pleasement on my control over the Near-Life Gate?" Qian Wu stared at Lin Mubai’s clenched fist as he snickered coldly.


    "Worthy of someone being called the top prodigy of the Northern Barbarians. Your King has an eye for talent!" Lin Mubai said as he stared at the five beasts, igniting the golden brilliance that surrounded him yet again.


    The dragon above his head seemed to have felt his will as well. Its demonic eyes seemed to shine with an even more sinister blood-red glow.


    As for Crown Prince Lin Tianrong, he could merely stare at the scene with widened eyes.


    "Five ferocious beasts! Qian Wu can summon five beasts from the Near-Life gate at once! Is this his true power? How did he do it?" Lin Tianrong was slightly horrified.


    In fact, he had always known that Qian Wu was strong. However, he did not know that Qian Wu was this powerful.


    The Near-Life Dao one of the Six Daos of Rebirth.


    If the Heavenly Dao was said to be the bnce amongst the Six Daos, and the Dao of Asura the most offensive Dao, the Near-Life Dao was probably the one most suited for battle!


    This was because the Near-Life Dao was a rite of seals. The moment the Near-Life Dao wasbined with the Near-Life gate, it would strike fear even into the hearts of the bravest warriors.
