Chapter 240: Sage

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Fang Zhengzhi had many questions that he wanted to ask. However, there somethings were more important than others.

Whilst finding out why Ping Yang was in the camp and why Chi Guyan was so nervous was important, getting out of the camp was even more pressing.

Fang Zhengzhi felt that he had the responsibility to clear the path now that Chi Guyan was injured.

However, Ping Yang didn’t plan to give him that chance. Even though a Star Conglomerate cultivator was not powerful in the imperial examinations, she was like a death god inside the army camp.

“Hahaha… who dares to stand in my way!”

Ping Yang was much less refined than Chi Guyan.

She chuckled as she barged through the camp.

Before long, Fang Zhengzhi, Chi Guyan, and Ping Yang had broken through the gates of the camp and dashed into the darkness…

…

Night time on Cang Ling Mountain was not as serene as one would expect. People worked in the day whilst beasts roamed the night. Most of the carnivores were nocturnal creatures.

Ever so often, one could hear the howls and roars of beasts, even the cries of prey. There were clearly some intense battles under the shroud of night.

Fang Zhengzhi had hunted in these lands since he was seven. He knew it like the back of his hand.

He was probably the most knowledgeable about this place amongst everyone in all the surrounding villages. He knew where the beasts were and where it was safe.

As a result, the three of them had a pretty smooth journey.

The beasts that they met were all herbivorous. They only ones of concern were a large green horned goat. A visibly excited Ping Yang lunged and grabbed the goat, kicking it viciously…

Before long, the green horned goat was knocked unconscious.

Ping Yang was still uncontented.

“The beasts on this mountain are too gentle. Are there no powerful ones?” Ping Yang was still unsatisfied as she looked at Fang Zhengzhi.

Fang Zhengzhi just gave her the middle finger.

“Is your brain damaged?”

“What do you mean?” Ping Yang fumed.

Fang Zhengzhi simply looked at Ping Yang condescendingly, not bothering to explain it to her.

Ping Yang pouted and readied herself to hit Fang Zhengzhi. However, upon seeing the paling Chi Guyan, she stopped herself.

After barging through the army camp, they continued walking, almost to the edges of Cang Ling Mountain. During this time, Chi Guyan swallowed a green pill.

Color rushed back to her face, but it was still much paler than before.

Fang Zhengzhi could tell from this that Chi Guyan had probably not entered the Supernatural State. If she had, why would she need the help of pills to heal?

Even so, what had happened just now? Why was Chi Guyan injured all of a sudden? Furthermore, the injury looked quite severe…

“Sister Yan, it’s my fault. If not for the fact that I appeared all of a sudden and forced you to hold back, you would not have been injured.” Ping Yang felt extremely guilty as she looked at the paling Chi Guyan.

“It has nothing to do with you.” Chi Guyan shook her head.

“Why not we descend the mountain first? We can rest at the Northern Mountain Village or Huai An County. Afterall, the issue with the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet is not pressing!” Ping Yang suggested.

Fang Zhengzhi was stunned when he heard what Ping Yang said

Heaven Dao Sage Tablet?

What is that?

“Since we are here, we should take a look before descending.” Chi Guyan shook her head lightly as she glanced at Ping Yang and Fang Zhengzhi.

“Shall we find a place to rest first then?” Ping Yang pointed to a huge rock up ahead as she supported Chi Guyan by her arms.

“Mm…” Chi Guyan hesitated for a moment before nodding.

“Sister Yan, just focus on resting. There are no ferocious beasts here. Even if there are, I will finish them off easily.” Ping Yang pounded her chest after Chi Guyan agreed to take a break.

Fang Zhengzhi looked on in disdain. Will that make you stronger? Obviously you don’t know your place.

However, he began to ge a little more suspicious when Chi Guyan agreed to take a break. With her arrogant character, she would not agree to rest so easily. This could only mean that her injuries were extremely severe.

Chi Guyan quickly arrived at the side of the limestone, supported by Ping Yang.

Then, she closed her eyes and lay on it. Her great figure was accentuated by her sleeping posture, but traces of weariness were clear on her face.

Chi Guyan rested as Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang found a place to sit nearby. They stared at each other.

“What are you looking at!” Ping Yang fumed after five minutes.

“How would you know I was looking at you if you weren’t looking at me?”

“Humph! That’s because you were looking at me!”

“Forget it, I am in no mood to argue with you. Tell me, what were you doing in an army camp on Cang Ling Mountain. Furthermore, what’s up with the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet?” Fang Zhengzhi wanted to glean information from Ping Yang.

“Hahaha… you want to know? I’m not telling you!”

“It’s okay. I am going to make a trip to Huai An County tomorrow. When I am there, I will go to the restaurant and tell them about how Princess Ping Yang made her way into an army camp, filled with men…”

“You… you won’t dare!”

“Why don’t you wager me a few thousand silvers?”

“Please, I am a princess, why would I place a bet with you? Since you want to know it so badly, I will tell me my heroic story.” Ping Yang said haughtily even whilst her eyes revealed traces of fury.

Fang Zhengzhi smiled. He knew that Ping Yang just wanted to maintain her reputation.

“I need to first tell you about the Purple Lightning Dragon Stallion that I got recently. You know…” Ping Yang hesitated, then coughed, “I can’t possibly be riding such a great stallion around the city in circles, right?”

“Mm, so you decided to ride towards the Northern Lands?” Fang Zhengzhi smiled and asked.

“Yes, I rode for days and finally arrived at the Northern Lands. I arrived at the Northern Mountain Village, but it was occupied by soldiers. Furthermore, those soldiers were occupying the rooms of the villagers. I didn’t like what I saw, so I came up the hill alone.” Ping Yang snuck a look at Fang Zhengzhi’s expression.

Fang Zhengzhi did not believe that Ping Yang would ride to the Northern Mountain Village ‘by accident’. Furthermore, Ping Yang had mentioned a Heaven Dao Sage Tablet.

Ping Yang definitely had a motive for coming here.

As to why she chose the Northern Mountain Village…

That was still a huge question mark. After all, it would be easy for Ping Yang to know that he had left with Chi Guyan.

Furthermore, he had toured around during this time and had not rushed for home. As such, Ping Yang could have easily overtook them and waited for him on Cang Ling Mountain…

No!

Ping Yang was waiting for Chi Guyan!

She had guessed that Chi Guyan would scale Cang Ling Mountain, likely from the Northern Mountain Village. As such, she lay in wait in the army camp.

Ping Yang seemed to know why Chi Guyan was here.

“Tell me about the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet.” Fang Zhengzhi felt that the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet was the key to solving this mystery.

“You don’t know?” Ping Yang was slightly surprised by Fang Zhengzhi’s question.

“Should I know?”

“I guess not. This is what of the greatest treasures of the Great Xia Dynasty. You would naturally not know about it. However, if you don’t know about the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet, why are you at Cang Ling Mountain?”

Fang Zhengzhi knew that the answer to the question was simple but with far reaching ramifications.

“Just out for a walk!” Fang Zhengzhi decided to shut Ping Yang up with this reply.

“Oh please, who will believe that?” Ping Yang pouted. Then, her eyes glimmered uncontrollably, “The Heaven Sage Dao Tablet is something that everyone wants to get their hands on! The Great Xia Dynasty, the Northern Barbarians, even the demons view it as a treasure. It can make someone a sage immediately!”
