Gate of God

Panda Novel

Yun Qingwu’s body shook.

She had gone closer to Fang Zhengzhi so that others would not hear her. However, what Fang Zhengzhi did make her feel strange.

Did he do that on purpose?

Yun Qingwu shook her head quickly.

That was because she knew how much Fang Zhengzhi hated her and would not initiate that intimate move. Moreover, based on her speculation, both she and Fang Zhengzhi will not have a chance of surviving.

That was Yun Qingwu’s speculation.

Meanwhile, Fang Zhengzhi felt Yun Qingwu’s body shake and realized that his action was too intimate.

Why did he go so close to Yun Qingwu?

Something was wrong!

He should have hated her!

Fang Zhengzhi looked at the dazzling face of Yun Qingwu and the blush on her face, his hand pulled Yun Qingwu towards his chest uncontrollably.

Instantly, Yun Qingwu’s body was touching Fang Zhengzhi.

“What are you looking at, you are now my servant!” Fang Zhengzhi pretended to be nonchalant and did not bother looking at Yun Qingwu’s expression.

Yun Qingwu fell silent surprisingly.

Without any resistance or speaking any words, she behaved as though she gave in to her identity as a servant and laid in Fang Zhengzhi’s chest.

The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race who were at a distance away could not see the “interaction” between Fang Zhengzhi and Yun Qingwu. They thought they saw Fang Zhengzhi coercing Yun Qingwu.

“Detestable!”

“How could he do this to Young Lord!”

“If I catch him, I will cut him up into pieces!”

The Monster Race and Demon Race idolized Yun Qingwu like a God. Therefore, how would they tolerate how she was caught by a “thief” and humiliated in such a manner?

Unfortunately…

They could not match up to Fang Zhengzhi.

This made them feel helpless as no matter how much they wanted to save Yun Qingwu, they did not dare to move without Nangong Mu’s commands.

Time flew by quickly.

Soon, all the people of the Human Alliance, including Wu Yuer and Mu Qingfeng, had dispersed and disappeared from the sight of the Monster Race and Demon Race.

Only Fang Zhengzhi and Yun Qingwu were left being trapped inside the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race.

“Fang Zhengzhi, now the Human Alliance had left, should you hand over the things that I wanted now?” said Nangong Mu.

“Now that you are a tree, can you still run faster than me?” Fang Zhengzhi asked back.

“I think so.” Nangong Mu was not surprised by Fang Zhengzhi’s question and replied expressionlessly.

“Then give it a shot…”

Boom!

Before Fang Zhengzhi could finish his sentence, countless blood-red tree branches came out of the ground beneath Fang Zhengzhi’s feet.

Or rather, those were not tree branches.

They were roots!

The roots underground.

“So there is really something called roots…” Fang Zhengzhi looked surprised but did not stop.

He dodged them at an extremely fast speed.

Just as he was continuously dodging while carrying Yun Qingwu, the tree roots that came out of the ground formed a gigantic “birdcage”.

“We can’t escape…” Yun Qingwu’s voice could be heard.

“But I don’t want to die together with you,” replied Fang Zhengzhi right away. He was telling the truth as he had many other things to do.

For example, he had yet to get a room full of pearls for Ping Yang. He also had yet to lose his virginity after arriving in this world.

Besides that…

He wanted to find out about something.

If Chi Guyan could wake up?

“Some things can’t be accomplished even if you want to.” Yun Qingwu did not bother too much about life and death.

Moreover…

She knew who Fang Zhengzhi’s opponent was.

Nangong Mu!

The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race decided to believe Nangong Mu but Yun Qingwu chose to believe Fang Zhengzhi.

This was somewhat unbelievable.

However, that was the truth. Furthermore, not only did Yun Qingwu know that Fang Zhengzhi’s opponent was Nangong Mu, but she also knew that Nangong Mu had gained control of the power of the Tree of God.

“So you want to die here?” Fang Zhengzhi asked.

“What can I do even if I didn’t want to?” Yun Qingwu smiled bitterly.

“I don’t believe that you can’t figure out what Nangong Mu’s intention is. Unless you want the Monster Race and Demon Race to be used by Nangong Mu?” said Fang Zhengzhi.

“Are you planning to ask me for help?”

“Tell me everything you know about the Tree of God. If the Ling Yun Tower has records, “An Ancient Handwritten Letter” definitely will have records too!” Fang Zhengzhi would definitely not forget what type of person Yun Qingwu was.

In fact, when Mu Qingfeng said that the ex-Tower Master knew about the Tree of God, he had already confirmed that another person who was aware of it too.

The person was none other than Yun Qingwu…

That was because Yun Qingwu was the Demon Young Lord and she had read all of the historical books and Art of Qimen <sup1</sup in this world.

If Chi Guyan was to be likened to a library for the art of war, Yun Qingwu would definitely be a collection of all the books for formations, tactics and History.

Talking about the breadth of knowledge, if Yun Qingwu said she was second in the world, nobody would dare to say that he or she was the first.

“Haha…” Yun Qingwu suddenly laughed bitterly. She was laughing until her body shook.

After she finished laughing, she said something to Fang Zhengzhi.

“Dream on!”

“…”

Boom!

Boom!

Bolts of blood-red thunder struck on the ground. Meanwhile, the tree roots that were surrounding Fang Zhengzhi and Yun Qingwu gradually got closer and the area shrank continuously.

“There’s no point for us to keep dragging this on, tell me what you know and I can leave with you, how about that?” Fang Zhengzhi could no longer dodge the attacks around him completely.

He had to start using the Blazing Qilin Spear to block the attacks.

Fortunately, the Blazing Qilin Spear was sufficiently sharp and along with the flames, it was able to withstand the attack of the tree branches for a short while.

However, it was only for a short while.

Seriously?

Did he make the wrong assumption and Yun Qingwu was already ready to face death?

Apart from using Yun Qingwu to assure Nangong Mu, the main reason Fang Zhengzhi made Yun Qingwu stay with him was to give himself an alternative escape route.

As the ancient saying went, as long as two parties had a common interest, even if they were enemies, they could become allies temporarily.

Fang Zhengzhi deliberately revealed Nangong Mu’s identity and had a “conversation” with him in order to tell Yun Qingwu that both Yun Qingwu and himself were like grasshoppers on a string.

Nangong Mu would definitely kill her.

Therefore, by right, Yun Qingwu should be on Fang Zhengzhi’s side. However, he did not expect Yun Qingwu to make the decision to die with him.

“I am your servant, I won’t make any comments no matter how you bully me,” said Yun Qingwu calmly.

“…” Fang Zhengzhi was speechless.

“This sentence came from you, do you think I will believe you? After you make use of me, I am still your servant, I think it would be unrealistic for me to… die together with you.”

“You mean you know how to deal with the Tree of God?” At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes lit up and asked Yun Qingwu Instead of answering her.

“Yes, I do.” Yun Qingwu nodded.

“State your deal.” Fang Zhengzhi was straight to the point.

“I will not make a deal with shameless people anymore.” Yun Qingwu shook her head.

“In order to show that I’m sincere about it, I will tell you where the Demon Lord is, how about that?” Fang Zhengzhi threw his trump card after a while of hesitation.

The reason he decided to say was not that he wanted to put the Northern Mountain Village at danger but rather because he knew that Yun Qingwu had no more power to command the Demon troops attack the Northern Mountain Village.

Or in other words…

Fang Zhengzhi would not give her the chance to do so.

“I know where Dad is.” Yun Qingwu took a glance at Fang Zhengzhi.

“You know?” Fang Zhengzhi was surprised.

“I knew it when you revealed your identity as Fang Zhengzhi. Dad is definitely in the Northern Mountain Village,” replied Yun Qingwu without hesitation.

“Alright, let’s change a deal. I had promised the Demon Lord to let him live for two years’ time, now, I will release him back to the Blood Shadow City, how about that?” Fang Zhengzhi did not bother denying.

That was because he knew that Yun Qingwu was so intelligent that she would definitely figure out that the Demon Lord was in the Northern Mountain Village after knowing Fang Zhengzhi’s identity.

Yun Qingwu fell silent.

Fang Zhengzhi knew that Yun Qingwu was deep in thought. Although some people may not prioritize their family members, Yun Qingwu regarded them extremely seriously.

With regards to this…

Yun Qingwu and Fang Zhengzhi were similar.

Of course, Yun Qingwu was not a human but the mixed-blood of monster and demon.

“You should know that if I died here, the Demon Lord will definitely not be able to survive. Nangong Mu will also definitely not allow him to survive, and your mother, the Monster Lord…”

“I can tell you how to deal with the Tree of God, however, I have another condition for you on top of the release of my dad.” Yun Qingwu clenched her fist and looked extremely determined.

“Speak.” Fang Zhengzhi was happy.

“After you escape, I don’t want anyone else but you to kill me. Then, bury my body with my Guqin under the ‘Cang Ling Mountain’. Do not write my full name but just the word ‘Wu’. Every year during the Qingming Festival, you have to burn a piece of ancient music for me.” Yun Qingwu looked like she was pleading towards the end of her sentence.

“You are not requesting me to let you off?”

“No.” Yun Qingwu shook her head.

“Why?”

“That’s an impossible wish… you will not let me off and neither will the Human Alliance. I don’t want to be kept in captive for my entire life, I only wish to die in your hands.” Yun Qingwu looked at Fang Zhengzhi calmly.

Fang Zhengzhi’s body shook.

If he was Yun Qingwu, he would definitely ask to be released and he knew that his opponent would agree.

But why didn’t Yun Qingwu ask for that?

Was it because she knew that he would not release her?

Fang Zhengzhi’s loosened his grip on Yun Qingwu strangely but he soon tightened his grip again.

That was right…

He would not!

Be it himself or the Human Alliance, nobody would let Yun Qingwu off or let her remain as a major threat.

Even if he did not kill Yun Qingwu, he would give her a lifetime imprisonment.

Generations after generations…

Yun Qingwu did not want to live like that, therefore she brought up the request to die in Fang Zhengzhi’s hand.

However, Fang Zhengzhi did not understand why Yun Qingwu wanted her body to be buried under the Cang Ling Mountain and requested for him to not carve her full name on her tombstone.

Was the simple world ‘Wu’ Yun Qingwu’s entire “life”?

“Do you promise?” Yun Qingwu’s voice disrupted Fang Zhengzhi’s train of thought.

“Alright, I promise.” Fang Zhengzhi stabbed the Blazing Qilin Spear in his hand forward as he saw the impenetrable tree branches.

Instantly, the raging flames made a small hole in the tree branches and caused the tree branches to break apart.

“According to what was recorded in “An Ancient Handwritten Letter”, the Tree of God was personally planted by Emperor Yan.” Yun Qingwu smiled heartenedly when Fang Zhengzhi made the promise and continued, “However, this seed was not created by Emperor Yan.”

“Was it Mother Earth?” Fang Zhengzhi made a guess.

“It was passed by Mother Earth to Emperor Yan but the seed was not created by Mother Earth. It was plucked by her.”

“Plucked by her?”

“Yes, “An Ancient Handwritten Letter” did not record the location in which Mother Earth had plucked the seed of the Tree of God but there was a record about some speculations.”

“Speculations?” Fang Zhengzhi was shocked.

There were “speculations” in an ancient book. That meant that there was no evidence to prove this incident.

Of course, that was expected.

After all, the history of the ancient times was so long that it could only backtrack to the era of Yan Huang. Anything before that would be too ancient.

“Hmm, “An Ancient Handwritten Letter” also speculated that Mother Earth’s power originated from the Tree of God,” continued Yun Qingwu as she nodded.

“This is related to how to deal with the Tree of God?” Fang Zhengzhi disrupted Yun Qingwu as the situation was so intense that a detailed story was not required.

“Yes, it is related.”

“Then can you cut straight to the point?”

“Alright, you should remember that Mother Earth also left behind Thirty-six Maps of Access to Heaven, the Heaven Dao Sage Tablets, apart from the seed of the Tree of God,” explained Yun Qingwu.

“Heaven Dao Sage Tablet, you mean?!” Fang Zhengzhi felt a sense of inspiration when he heard that but was unable to completely understand.

“Thirty-six Maps of Access to Heaven can control the power of the Tree of God!” Yun Qingwu went straight to the point.

“Hmm, you make sense but you forgot that I don’t have the Thirty-six Maps of Access to Heaven!” Fang Zhengzhi almost wanted to strangle Yun Qingwu when he said this.

What the f*ck!

She might as well have not said anything!

Thirty-six Maps of Access to Heaven…

‘Give me the complete set of the Thirty-six Maps of Access to Heaven!’
