This is meant by being shameless!
However, none of the Monster Kings, sages and the disciples had the chance to discuss about the matter.
That was because Monster Emperor Baizhi was clearly infuriated.
As the Monster Emperor, the most powerful in the Holy Region, she would not have possibly tolerated hiding into the Great Swamp if not for the survival of the monster race.
She had endured the insult and suffering for over ten years, and now that she finally could change all that, Fang Zhengzhi came by and messed up her plans.


Most importantly, she was sent flying by Fang Zhengzhi’s kick in front of countless monsters and humans?
How could she not be mad!
She was overwhelmed with anger and wanted to shred Fang Zhengzhi to pieces. However, Fang Zhengzhi had fled again after the kick.
Fled!
Monster Emperor Baizhi clenched her teeth in anger. She wanted to disregard everything else and focus on chasing after Fang Zhengzhi till the end of the world.
But could she do that?
No!
She was not willing to give up something that she was about to achieve because of anger. More importantly, she could not simply forsake the future of the entire monster race for that.
Therefore, she could not possibly chase after Fang Zhengzhi.
She could not imagine what would Nangong Hao, Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi do if she had given chase.


That would be the ultimate desperation.

Fang Zhengzhi!
Monster Emperor Baizhi had lost all her alluring charm. Instead, she was exploding with anger.
Nevertheless, she did not chase after Fang Zhengzhi. For the future of the monster race, she could only endure. After she was sent flying by Fang Zhengzhi’s kick, Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi had already dashed towards Nangong Hao.

Hurry, get Nangong Hao!


I know!

Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi could not possibly let go of this opportunity and dashed like a whirlwind towards Nangong Hao.
However, would Nangong Hao give in so easily?

I must accomplish the mission of the Nangong family!
Nangong Hao did not have the time to think about Fang Zhengzhi and reached out for the golden fruit again.

Open the Door of the Realm of God. Everything would end once I opened the Door of the Realm of God!
The plan that was planned out thousand of years ago was almost about to be achieved. Nangong Hao could not give up at this point in time.
However, both Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi were traveling extremely quickly. In a blink of an eye, they blocked Nangong Hao, making it impossible for him to touch the golden fruit.



Nangong Hao, just give up. Do not give the monster race and the devil race any chance. That is the only way to ensure the survival of the Nangong Nobles!
As he spoke, Mu Qingfeng attacked.
The long sword on his hand turned into a beam of light. It came down from the sky without any hesitation, as though it was about to split the world into parts.

Vitality? Talking about vitality while lingering on with one’s last breath?
Looking at the beam of light, Nangong Hao did not dart. That was because he saw a long white tail approaching the beam of light.
Monster Emperor Baizhi!
It was a fight between three parties.
Nangong Hao’s motive was to pluck the golden fruit and open the Door of the Realm of God, while Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi wanted to prevent this from happening.
Monster Emperor Baizhi, on the other hand, wanted to make use of Nangong Hao to achieve her own motive.
Each of the three parties had their own motives yet all three of them had their focus on Nangong Hao. Therefore, they could only fight with all their might.
Boom! Monster Emperor Baizhi’s tail blocked Mu Qingfeng and the long sword, giving Nangong Hao a moment to breathe as well as a chance to advance further.
Yet this chance was stopped by Mo Shanshi.


As the black giant hammer in Mo Shanshi’s hand struck, Nangong Hao was forced to retreat his hand from the golden fruit. Under the force of the hammer, he took a step back.

Damn it!
Nangong Hao was an extraordinarily calm person. Even at the most dangerous moments, he kept his calm and confidence.
Just like how he was stabbed by Fang Zhengzhi earlier on.
The sword missed his heart by a hair’s breadth.
However, that successfully woke him up from the illusion of Monster Emperor Baizhi. Yet, he did not act immediately.
He was waiting for the best moment.
Until…
He only opened his eyes when he saw that Fang Zhengzhi was controlled by Monster Emperor Baizhi and completely shifted her focus away from him.
However, he did not predict that he would end up in front of Monster Emperor Baizhi because of Fang Zhengzhi’s shifting forms technique just before he was about to succeed.
At that moment, Nangong Hao felt extremely bitter.


He was so close to success!
Yet, it was ruined because of Fang Zhengzhi.
And now, after making a mess, Fang Zhengzhi had fled.
Even the extraordinarily calm Nangong Hao could not remain his cool any further, especially upon seeing Monster Emperor Baizhi approaching him.

Ah!!!
Nangong Hao yelled unwillingly. However, he was severely injured and could not get past Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi.
However, he was extremely unwilling to give up. After thousands of years of effort of the Nangong Nobles, he could not bear to see it being taken away forcefully by Monster Emperor Baizhi.
However, everything seemed to be destined.
Monster Emperor Baizhi had already reached and trapped him completely with one of her tails.

Stop her!
Mu Qingfeng was somewhat anxious. After all, if Nangong Hao got controlled by Monster Emperor Baizhi again, the future of the world would change.
Mo Shanshi was equally anxious.
However, Monster Emperor Baizhi was too strong. Her powers increased exponentially after turning into a monster.
With the nine gigantic fox tails striking continuously on Mo Shanshi and Mu Qingfeng’s bodies, they struggled very hard to protect themselves.

Pavilion Master, here I come!
At this moment, a voice could be heard from beneath.

Elder Yan Yin?
Mu Qingfeng’s eyes lit up. Yan Yin, being the Great Elder of Heaven Dao Pavilion, was extremely powerful as well.
However, Yan Yin was too aloof. In addition to that, the encounters he had at a younger age caused Yan Yin to neglect about his sect.
However, judging from his true capabilities without the aid of any special weapons or equipments, Yan Yin was not any weaker than Mu Qingfeng.
This was evident from how Yan Yin managed to escape the siege by over thirty Monster Kings and made it to the top.

Elder Yan, attack from behind!
Mo Shanshi was delighted to see Yan Yin. He immediately teleported to another position.
Mu Qingfeng, Mo Shanshi and Yan Yin formed a triangle, trapping Monster Emperor Baizhi in the center.

Three of you? Then we shall die together!
Monster Emperor Baizhi took a glance at all of them with a cruel gaze.
Boom!
Boom!
Loud sounds of collision could be heard repeatedly.
Mu Qingfeng, Mo Shanshi and Yan Yin made continuous attacks in an attempt to rescue Nangong Hao out of Monster Emperor Baizhi’s hand.
Yet Monster Emperor Baizhi was extremely powerful.
The three of them were unable to defeat her.
The scene looked like a deadlock. Mu Qingfeng, Mo Shanshi and Yan Yin felt chills behind their backs after several attacks.
After turning into a monster, Monster Emperor Baizhi’s powers was terrifying.
Not only did the three of them fail at defeating Monster Emperor Baizhi after several attacks, but they even suffered some minor injuries.

So powerful, how could this be?
Mu Qingfeng had always known that Monster Emperor Baizhi was very powerful. Yet, her powers made him fear.
The memories from the great war that took place more than ten years ago were still fresh in Mu Qingfeng’s mind. In that war, the ultimate winner was humankind.
However, in that war, they lost the most powerful of humankind and the only person who could fight head-on with Monster Emperor Baizhi.
The ex-tower master of Ling Yun Tower!
The ex-tower master of Ling Yun Tower had sacrificed his life to delay Monster Emperor Baizhi, allowing humankind to attack the monster race from behind and eventually controlling the fate of the monster race.
Yet despite that, humankind did not dare to kill every single one of the monster race, not because they were merciful but due to the fact that Monster Emperor Baizhi was not dead.
If Monster Emperor Baizhi was not dead, how would they dare to kill the monster race?
Fortunately, Monster Emperor Baizhi surrended in the end. After the monster race was controlled by humankind, she submitted the Instrument of Surrender and was willing to bring the monster race to the Great Swamp.
Of course, some were certain that the reason behind the successful sneak attack was due to the betrayal of the demon race.
Due to this, Monster Emperor Baizhi killed almost all of the most powerful members of the demon race in less than a month’s time before officially parting ways.
That was also one of the main reasons why humankind was able to release all of the Monster Kings.
After all, it was impossible to resolve the conflict.
Yet Mu Qingfeng did not expect the monster race and the demon race to forget about the hatred and collaborate once again under Yun Qingwu’s lead.
Furthermore, as compared to years ago, Monster Emperor Baizhi was evidently more terrifying.
Boom! Mu Qingfeng was finally sent flying by the whip of the giant fox tail. After flipping through the sky, he turned pale and spat out a mouth of blood.

Old man Mu, don’t die!
Mo Shanshi was worried when he saw the scene.

How would I die before you?
Mu Qingfeng clenched his teeth, tightened his grip on the long sword and returned back after he had regained control of his breath.

Hahaha… I’ll treat today’s battle as granting my wish in the past. After sister Lan passed away… I have lived long enough, it’s time for me to accompany her too.

Dream on, I’m the one in Lan’er’s heart. I should be the one accompanying her!


Rubbish, sister Lan clearly had feelings for me!


Scram!
Mu Qingfeng scolded.

Pavilion Master, old man Mo, I would not have any objections to anything you two say, but speaking of Lan’er, I’m very sure she had feelings for me.
Yan Yin finally spoke with a serious look on his face.

Yan Yin, after so many years, you finally admit that you have feelings for Lan’er?
Mo Shanshi smiled when he heard that.
Hmph! Yan Yin did not reply but gave a nonchalant
hmph
. From his eyes, one could tell that he clearly missed her.
Lan’er, the ex-tower master of Ling Yun Tower.
She used to be the most beautiful woman in the Holy Region and the most powerful of the humankind. How could anyone not develop feelings for her? However, she had passed away from the war more than ten years ago.
Ever since, nobody dared to declare themselves as the most beautiful woman of the Holy Region.
…
Laughter was not a suitable emotion for a battle, yet Mo Shanshi and Mu Qingfeng both had smiles on their faces. Yan Yin too, showed guilt and yearning in his eyes.

We must fight for Lan’er!
Mu Qingfeng’s expression suddenly became extremely certain. He exuded a powerful aura.

Of course!
Mo Shanshi replied in disdain. He bit his lips and tightened his grip on the black hammer in his hands.
Yan Yin did not speak but once again dashed towards Monster Emperor Baizhi.

Lan’er? The defeated one who had died? Humans being humans, all of you always yearn for the past and do not know how to cherish the present, why?
Monster Emperor Baizhi’s expression changed as she overheard the conversation before making a comment.
Meanwhile…
The expressions of the sages and Qian Yu changed as they heard the laughter from above.

Master, you were extremely popular in the Holy Region back then. In those days, none of the sects dared to fight with Ling Yun Tower and scrambled to be favored by us. Ling Yun Tower was about to become the leader of the five sects… If wasn’t so stubborn, if you had not fight against Monster Emperor Baizhi alone to atone for my sins, you would not have died…
Qian Yu’s lips moved and his eyes welled up with tears.
