"Of course she is our daughter-inw. Do you think a singledy would deliberately build a house in front of ours, if she doesn’t want to be our daughter-inw?" Qin Xuelian asked.


    "Now that you’ve mentioned, it looks like it! Such a muddlehead!" Fang Houde understood after Qin Xuelian exined to him.


    "You’re not blur, just a little less observant."


    "Yes yes yes, you’re right!"


    "Aiya, Yuer has already left, are you still going to stay here? Not going over to Xian King?"


    "Oh, right!" Fang Houde reacted immediately and quickly held onto Qin Xuelian’s hand as they rushed out of the house.


    Qin Xuelian continued staring at the direction where Wu Yuer had disappeared, as tears began swelling up in her eyes, "Zhenger, please be safe!"


    .......


    Fang Zhengzhi knew that he needed to stay calm in this difficult situation.


    Yun Qingwu’s appearance in the Northern Mountain Vige had been nned for quite some time. Aspared to him, who had no prior preparation, he had to be more passive.


    But, the date for the Heavenly Dao Pavilion test was reaching in half a month.


    Furthermore, the distance between the Northern Mountain Vige and the Heavenly Dao Pavilion required close to a month’s time to travel. Which also meant that he only had half a month left.


    Half a month...


    While it was not considered a lot of time, it was not insufficient either.


    If it was indeed the Matrix Spell that had trapped him here, Fang Zhengzhi naturally did not need too much time to break it. However, he was still confused if it was the Matrix Spell or the Small Dimension.


    How could he break the spell?


    Calm down, he needed to calm himself down first.


    There was still time, half a month’s time.


    Fang Zhengzhi kept reminding himself in his heart, that his disappearance would make Qin Xuelian and Fang Houde worried, but he had no choice.


    Hold up!


    If he was unable to break the spell from within.


    How about from outside?


    He had walked past the tree earlier, therefore at least the tree part of the affected area. Could it be possible to break this whole spell from the tree?


    Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes brightened instantly, but he felt that he needed some patience in this matter.


    Because he knew that somebody will look for him eventually.


    As he was trying to figure all these out, a figure appeared in a distance, its ck long dress fluttering along with the blowing wind.


    A pair of beautiful eyes with a little glow in the middle of its pupils.


    "Wu Yuer!" Fang Zhengzhi had rarely anticipated to see Wu Yuer, but indeed he thought that she had arrived at just the right moment.


    He shouted immediately without hesitation.


    He even waved his hand vigorously, paying no attention to the look from Yun Qingwu.


    However.....


    Wu Yuer seemed like she did not hear anything.


    She continued to leap around, and looked as if she was about to circle around Fang Zhengzhi instead.


    "Is this girl blind?" Fang Zhengzhi felt speechless, as he was had obviously been screaming very loudly. "Wu Yuer, I’m here....."


    Fang Zhengzhi continued again.


    However, Wu Yuer still seemed as though she did not hear anything, and sprinted away.


    What was happening?


    She did not hear anything?


    That was impossible!


    Could it be that the spell had the ability to separate sound as well?


    Fang Zhengzhi and Yun Qingyun stared at each other at the same time. Fang Zhengzhi could sense the peacefulness in her eyes.


    It was as still and calm as water.


    As though she did not hear anything.


    "It was really soundproof!" Fang Zhengzhi quickly understood what had happened, and it did not surprise him as he knew that separating sound in that area was an easy task.


    But the thing that happened after made him feel surprised.


    Wu Yuer had returned from afar not long after.


    That should have made him feel excited,


    However, Wu Yuer kept walking around the big tree and the strangest thing happened.


    Initially...


    Fang Zhengzhi thought that Yun Qingwu’s "spell" would only be able to separate the sound and the scenery within the affected area, and not the "exit".


    But then he saw Wu Yuer walking openly past the tree, making big rounds and steps around himself.


    He suddenly understood the situation.


    This "spell" was different from the previous ones he had known!


    Wu Yuer walked away from him in the end.


    Looking depressed and nervous, she made her way up to where the Cang Ling Mountain was located at. She brushed past Fang Zhengzhi’s shoulders as she left.


    "Is this another parallel universe" Fang Zhengzhi waited till Wu Yuer finally disappeared from his sight, then moved his attention slowly to Yun Qingwu.


    "Parallel universe?" Yun Qingwu replied looking a bit doubtful, as she seemed like she was trying to figure out what Fang Zhengzhi had just mentioned.


    "Meaning, you constructed another universe in this universe? The new universe can still look at the old one, but it doesn’t work the other way round?" Fang Zhengzhi tried to exin himself, while making it sound usible.


    "No." Yun Qingwu shook her head.


    "Did you understand what I have just said?" Fang Zhengzhi was unsure if Yun Qingwu could believe his exnation.


    "Hmmm, yes I could understand it, the parallel universe. It is simr to making a new space out of the space from before." Yun Qingwu nodded her hand calmly.


    Demon!


    Fang Zhengzhi gawked at her as this was his first time genuinely thinking about the limit of a person’s intelligence. Even if it was in front of Chi Guyan, he had never thought of this matter before.


    Chi Guyan was brilliant.


    But other than being smart, Chi Guyan had terrific powers too.


    Yun Qingwu was different.


    She was smart, and only smart.


    Demon Young Lord.


    A demon who could not seem to withstand an attack, yet was treated with respect in the Demon Race. He had to admit that Yun Qingwu was really the top demon in the world.


    Thisdy’s intelligence quotient.


    How much did she have?


    200, 300, or 400?


    "If it was not the parallel universe, what could it be?" This was the first time Fang Zhengzhi felt as though his thinking capacity had been emptied.


    "You can make a guess." Yun Qingwu challenged.


    "Is this even fair?" Fang Zhengzhi could obviously understand what Yun Qingwu was trying to mean. But he had to control the discussion now as he did not want to let her manipte him around. He had to change the subject, so that he could at least find some clues to break the spell.


    "Why is it unfair?" Yun Qingwu reasoned back.


    "You made so much effort in setting this spell, but I had no idea what was going on. In this situation, even if you have already trapped me, it doesn’t mean that you have won the battle?"


    "I don’t really care about winning, my goal is to trap you in here, and wait till you slowly die. That will be enough for me." Yun Qingwu exined justifically.


    "Is this even meaningful? You wanted that Heavenly Dao Sage Tablet, I can give it to you. Is there a need to trap me here?" Fang Zhengzhi was still trying to figure out Yun Qingwu’s intention.


    "The Heaven Dao Sage Tablet always belonged to me." Yun Qingwu continued.


    "....." Fang Zhengzhi was speechless, as he knew that the conversation had been twisting round and round, eventually returning back to square one. It all seemed like a never ending cycle. "So may I know, what’s your motive ining in to the Northern Mountain Vige?"


    "To kill you." Yun Qingwu replied.


    "Other than that?"


    "Nothing."


    "Is there any room for negotiation, like getting anything out of me? Or, requiring me to do anything for you.....yes?"


    "No."


    "....." Fang Zhengzhi went quiet again.


    Was this all? She came all the way from the Demon Race Blood Shadow City to the Northern Mountain Vige, just to kill him. But when the time came.


    She did not kill him.


    Changing from killing to trapping him? Trapping him alive till death!


    That sounded ridiculous!


    Fang Zhengzhi could not understand all that was happening. Yun Qingwu had heavy responsibilities, she was in charge of the Demon Race.


    She was the the Young Lord of the Demon Race!


    This demon, nning to spend six months here trapped with him in the Northern Mountain Vige? All these did not seem to be usible for him.


    But that was exactly what Yun Qingwu had done.


    And she looked more determined than ever to do it.


    Why?


    Fang Zhengzhi felt confused.


    "Do you still want to listen to any songs?" Yun Qingwu saw that Fang Zhengzhi had stopped talking. She sat down and ced the purple string instrument on herp.


    "Well, you could y the ’House of Flying Daggers’." Fang Zhengzhi replied casually.


    In fact, he was having that feeling of being trapped like Xiang Yu. He had a whole body of strength but all of them had gone to waste.


    "Sure." Yun Qingwu nodded her head as she shed a faint smile for a quick moment.


    The sound of strings began ying slowly.


    Leisurely yet graceful.


    It made one felt immersed in the moment.


    Fang Zhengzhi began sitting up, frowning, as the sound of the strings rang in his ears. But he still could not help but pondered about his situation.


    What was that?


    It was neither the Spell, nor the Small Dimension, but it looked simr to the "Spell". Yun Qingwu had also mentioned earlier that he could never break her spell.


    Ambushed from all sides, and trapped till his death?


    Why would Yun Qingwu, a mighty Demon Young Lord choose to trap him? Well, she wasn’t Han Xin, and I was not Xiang Yu either.


    Wait!


    Other than trapping him here, it seemed like Yun Qingwu had harboured another n, and that was to snatch the Heavenly Dao Sage Tablet from him.


    The Heavenly Dao Sage Tablet, the Heavenly Dao Sage Tablet...


    Fang Zhengzhi began scanning the surroundings ferociously, the Cang Ling Mountain from afar, the big lush green fields as well as the flowing rivers.


    Real, all these were too real.


    Perfect!


    Too perfect!


    But this perfect scenery could be changed with one’s heart easily.


    Hallucinations!


    Impossible!


    There would be clues if it were hallucinations, but he could not find a single one of them. It felt like everything around him was real.


    Yun Qingwu wanted to trap him in this ce.


    For six months, just outside the Northern Mountain Vige.


    Even as a Demon Young Lord, and with her high status and prestige within the Demon Race, she must have a reason for doing so.


    A good reason to convince the Demon Race.


    I got it!


    Fang Zhengzhi opened his eyes widely. His queries seemed to piece together, and he finally understood where he was standing at.


    "It is the Heavenly Dao Sage Tablet, you used it to set the spell!" Fang Zhengzhi finally spoke as he stared at Yun Qingwu.


    The strings sound, pause momentarily.


    Yun Qingwu trembled slightly, as she moved her eyes slowly. She stared at Fang Zhengzhi, looking surprised, but the look quickly faded away.


    "I knew that you would be able to see through it, but I wasn’t expecting it to be so fast. I was thinking of giving you three days to figure it all out." Yun Qingwu finally broke her silence.


    "Demon Lord Yun Qingwu, actually used the Heavenly Dao Sage Tablet to trap me? That must have been quite a big stake. May I know how many pieces did you use to set this trap?" Fang Zhengzhi asked.


    "Thirteen pieces!"


    "Thirteen pieces?"


    "Yes, I took the Heavenly Dao Sage Tablets from King Liqin’s residence!"


    "I see!" Fang Zhengzhi had finally managed to understand all these.


    He always knew that Yun Qingwu had stayed over at the me Capital City for a while, and that she would definitely have taken something that she wanted.


    But he did not know that it was the Heavenly Dao Sage Tablet.


    In fact...


    When he had killed King Xieluo, and chased after Su Qing all the way to the Northern Lands, he did not know anything about the thirteen missing Heavenly Dao Sage Tablets.


    And even if Lin Mubai were to know about this matter, he would not have spread it publicly.


    Thirteen pieces of the Heavenly Dao Sage Tablet!


    Fang Zhengzhi immediately knew what Yun Qingwu would have told the Demon Race. She was going to use six months to hone her skills and figure out the secrets of the thirteen Heavenly Dao Sage Tablets.


    That excuse seemed almost unbelievable to the Demon Race, but none of them could refute her reason.


    Fang Zhengzhi had came to realise everything.


    But just as when he managed to understand the situation, he suddenly felt weak in his heart. It was about the thirteen pieces of Heavenly Dao Sage Tablets spell.


    How could he break that?


    "This spell that I set is pretty easy. It is called the Thirteen Stars Formation, and is formed by the Eight Diagrams and the Seven Stars Array, together with the number thirteen of Tianji." Yun Qingwu began exining.


    Then, Yun Qingwu put down the purple strings instrument and stood up. She took a few steps in front of Fang Zhengzhi.


    "But, just as what you thought, you have to break the formation that is powered by the Heavenly Dao Sage Tablets, all thirteen pieces. If you can break them, you can get out of here!"
