Fang Zhengzhi quickly made the choice between saving himself and saving others .

He really wanted to save others .

But, he needed to save himself first!

Guilt .

Fang Zhengzhi did feel guilty . Even though he did not really mean to slap Princess Shan Yu, it had already happened .

Provide an explanation?

Fang Zhengzhi wanted to explain himself, but this was not something that he could explain himself out of .

He had slapped a princess . . .

Even if Princess Shan Yu believed that he did not mean to slap her, it would not absolve him of blame! If you were drunk and slept with someone's wife, you would still have to be responsible for it .

Just because it was an accident didn't mean that you were off the hook!

Even without considering the possibility of a baby, the woman's husband would never let you off!

That was the situation Fang Zhengzhi was in .

He had slapped Princess Shan Yu in front of Shan Ling . As such, Shan Ling would never let him off .

”Fang Zhengzhi, stop right there! I will have your head!”

”Don't you dare run!”

Their voices reverberated throughout the forest .

Fang Zhengzhi was not going to stand there stupidly . He continued to sprint on all fours as he tried to put some distance between himself and the two furious royalties .

Visibility was bad in the forests and this made it hard for Shan Yu and Shan Ling to track Fang Zhengzhi .

After about 15 minutes . . .

They lost him .

”Phew . . . ” Fang Zhengzhi caught his breath as he rested in between a couple of large rocks . That sprint drained him of much energy .

But now, he had a huge problem on his hands .

On the surface, it looked like Fang Zhengzhi was safe . However, without Shan Ling and Shan Yu to guide him, where was he going to go?

Was he going to find the Dragon Protection Squad and the Mountain Breaking Army?

Fang Zhengzhi had given up all hope of that . That 15 minutes of running meant that he had already left the Sagely Mountain City far behind him .

Throughout the entire journey, he didn't see any trace of them .

Where were they?

Did they not come to the Sagely Mountain City?

That's impossible!

The edict was clear! They were supposed to wait for an opportunity to play the savior! Where else was this opportunity supposed to come from?

Could it be . . .

That they were at the Iron Hill Settlement?

The thought flashed past Fang Zhengzhi's mind .

Ordinarily, he would not think of something like that . However, the 50,000 Demon soldiers had already been ordered to the Iron Hill Settlement .

As such, if the two elite squads had been setting up an ambush here, they would have caught wind of that .

It wasn't a stretch to think that Xing Yuanguo would bring his troops there . An astute general like him would know how important that battle was .

But, all of these were mere guesses .

What if . . .

Was he wrong?

What if he ran off to the Iron Hill Settlement whilst Xing Yuanguo was still in the Icy Monkey Settlement? Won't he be jumping to his death?

No way!

The safest option would be to return to the Icy Monkey Settlement .

Fang Zhengzhi turned towards the Icy Monkey Settlement but stopped himself in his tracks .

If he really chose to run away . . .

Then . . .

What was going to happen to the Iron Hill Settlement?

How was he going to settle the misunderstanding between Princess Shan Yu and him? He could run for now, but could he run forever?

Furthermore, how was he going to settle the misunderstanding between Princess Shan Yu and him? He can run now, but he can't run forever .

Fang Zhengzhi raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky .

Fang Zhengzhi raised his head and looked at the stars .

He was someone who was afraid of death, but he was still a responsible person . Since he had caused this . . .

He had to be the one to solve it .

He will have to risk it!

Fang Zhengzhi bit his lip . He would rarely risk his life on something, but he had no choice this time .

He would go to the Iron Hill Settlement .

If Xing Yuanguo was really on his way there, then he would have a chance to meet the two elite squads on the way .

Furthermore . . .

Fang Zhengzhi knew that the only way he could redeem himself was to save the lives of the 80,000 soldiers .

”I will go and have a look, mm . . . just a look!” Fang Zhengzhi clenched his fists and ran in the direction of the Iron Hill Settlement .

He did not know the exact location of the settlement .

However, based on the map given to him by Wu Yuer, he had an idea of the direction he had to run towards .

For an ordinary person, the dense forests may be difficult to navigate . . .

But for Fang Zhengzhi, it was no problem .

. . .

Shan Ling and Princess Shan Yu gave chase for a mile before stopping . Speeding through the forest was not difficult for them .

In fact, it was easy .

However, after chasing for so long, Shan Ling and Princess Shan Yu were beginning to regain their composure .

”That guy runs fast . Rest a.s.sured sister, as long as he is still here, no . . . even if he returns to the Great Xia, I will kill him!” Shan Ling looked at Princess Shan Yu affectionately .

Princess Shan Yu looked back at him, her posture relaxing as her skin reverted to its original state and color .
