Chapter 244: Red Demon Eye

Fang Zhengzhi decided to try his luck. He did not expect that someone else was even more tempted to try it out than him.

Naturally, that person was Ping Yang.

Before Fang Zhengzhi could run, Ping Yang took off.

In an instant, she was headed straight for the for the half opened stone door. She did not even say anything to Fang Zhengzhi as she bounded towards the door like a lamb in an open pasture.

”Hahaha, off I go...” As she ran, Ping Yang laughed maniacally.

This made Fang Zhengzhi slightly suspicious.

Ping Yang is a princess! Does she need to be in this much of a rush? Isn't it just the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet? Hasn't she seen it before?

Can't she show a little more cla.s.s?

Fang Zhengzhi looked to Chi Guyan.

Chi Guyan seemed to understand Fang Zhengzhi's doubts from his look, ”Actually, Ping Yang has never seen the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet before.”

”And you?”

”I have.” Chi Guyan nodded.

Fang Zhengzhi had questions again.

Ping Yang was the most loved and pampered princess to date. If Chi Guyan had seen it before, Ping Yang definitely had a chance to see it.

Is there something going on here?

Hang on...

Chi Guyan has seen the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet before? Then why isn't she a sage?

”You've already become...”

”No!”

”You didn't understand it?”

”...” Chi Guyan was silent for a moment. Then, she shook her head, ”The Heaven Dao Sage Tablet is not what you think it is. It is not really a tablet. If you're lucky enough to see it, you will understand what I mean.”

”The Heaven Dao Sage Tablet is not a tablet?” Fang Zhengzhi wanted to accuse Chi Guyan of lying to him.

However, it was more important that he chase up to Ping Yang. Ping Yang was already at the entrance.

Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan rushed towards the stone door without hesitation.

The moment they stepped through the doors, Fang Zhengzhi felt like he was detached from the world. It did not feel like he had stepped through the door, it felt like he was sucked in by an unknown force.

The scene that unfolded before his eyes was even stranger.

The golden stone pillar was only ten meters wide at most. However, there was a huge magnificent throne room in front of him. The pillars were intricately carved.

In the middle of the throne room was a huge black cauldron.

Flames burned strongly inside the cauldron.

Underneath the cauldron were many soldiers dressed in glowing armor. There were thousands of them.

Ping Yang was standing in front of Fang Zhengzhi, her gaze sweeping over all of the soldiers. She seemed to be slightly excited, her mouth opening slightly in awe.

”Uncle Xing!”

”Yes... princess, your highness. Your highness, what... what are you doing here?!” A purple armored male in his forties with phoenix like eyes was shocked when he saw Ping Yang.

Then, the middle aged man noticed Fang Zhengzhi and frowned. Just as he was about to speak, his gaze froze.

Chi Guyan walked over.

”Guyan!”

”Uncle Xing, Guyan is honored to see you.” Chi Guyan calmly bowed towards the middle aged man.

”Your highness, Guyan, why... why are you here?!” The middle aged man appeared next to them in an instant.

Fang Zhengzhi was shocked when he saw the man in front of him.

If Chi Guyan's speed was stunning to him, then this middle aged man's speed was supernatural.

He is Ping Yang's father's younger brother? And Chi Guyan's father's elder brother?

Fang Zhengzhi's heart fluttered. Is this man Xing Yuanguo? The leader of the 13 Constabularies and Xing Qingsui's dad?

Fang Zhengzhi had a good impression of the Stabilisation Constabulary.

He admired them for their determination and nerver. Furthermore, Xing Qingsui had helped him in the throne room.

However, Xing Yuanguo only had eyes for Chi Guyan and Ping Yang.

Fang Zhengzhi decided not to interrupt them and greet Xing Yuanguo, potentially drawing his ire in the process.

”It's a long story about how we got here. Is Uncle Xing trapped?” Chi Guyan glanced at the thousands of soldiers behind him.

”Nothing escapes Guyan's eyes. I shall not hide it from you any longer. This battle is the hardest that I've ever fought in decades. However, I will not let the demons continue unchecked, even if I will die in the process!” Xing Yuanguo exuded an aura of determination and battle spirit.

Fang Zhengzhi had felt a similar battle spirit from Xing Qingsui. However, if Xing Qingsui's was a creek, Xing Yuanguo's was a vast ocean.

An endless ocean.

The hardest thing for any general was to maintain his spirit after a setback. However, despite a devastating loss, Xing Yuanguo still had great battle spirit.

Perhaps this was what made the Stabilisation Constabulary the leader of the 13, and the pillar of the Great Xia Dynasty.

”Uncle Xing, what happened in the army camp?” Chi Guyan pressed.

”You've been there?”
