"Whatever you want, we, the demon clan, can give you everything!" She Li raised his head high.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "I want the human race to stand at the top of the myriad worlds. Can the demon race give it to me?"
"That position already belongs to the demon race! The one below it belongs to the barbarians. You humans are not worthy of it!"
"We have to give it a try. This kind of thing can't be rushed. We have to take it step by step." Fang Yun said.
"Then we will first kill your hope as a human race and make it impossible for you to take a single step forward! Without further ado, let us swear an oath between the two worlds!"
After She Li finished speaking, the sky was filled with dark clouds, thunder rumbled, and strong winds howled. The dark clouds within a thousand miles seemed to be driven by the might of heaven and madly gathered towards the sky above the Academy of Literature.
But in an instant, thick dark clouds pressed down over the sky of Yuhai City, as if within reach, completely blocking out the sunlight and turning day into night.
Suddenly, a huge vortex of wind and thunder appeared in the center of the dark cloud, forming a powerful suction force. The dust, paper scraps, branches and leaves, sand and gravel on the ground of Yuhai City slowly rose up, getting higher and higher.
"The Snake Clan has a calendar of respect for the demon world and the human world. We will swear an oath of life and death on behalf of the Demon King and an oath of bet and kill on behalf of all the saints! If Fang Yun can write thirteen war poems within three years, the Demon King will kill himself and the tributaries of the Ancient Galaxy will belong to Fang Yun. If Fang Yun fails, he will die and the tributaries of the Ancient Galaxy will return to the Ancient Divine Kingdom. In addition, during the oath period, the demon clan will give up all rewards to Fang Yun except for the holy blood. If you violate this oath, both worlds will punish you!"
"Human race Fang Yun, respect the human world, respect the demon world, and make a life-and-death oath! If I can write thirteen war poems within three years, the demon king will die and become a tributary of the ancient galaxy. If I lose, I will die to thank the world. If I break this oath, both worlds will punish me!"
"We swear!" the man and the snake said in unison, looking into each other's eyes.
"Boom..."
A faint roar that spread across the two worlds sounded, and then two lightning bolts struck down from the sky, landing on Fang Yun and She Li. The two were unharmed, while the two lightning bolts went up in the opposite direction and suddenly flew towards the vortex in the center of the dark cloud.
When approaching the whirlpool, Fang Yun saw hundreds of lightning bolts appear out of nowhere, merging into a brilliant light that illuminated Yuhai City, and then entered the whirlpool and disappeared.
The wind stopped, the thunder ceased, the clouds dispersed, and the oath was fulfilled.
Many people were secretly shocked. They didn't expect that the great oath between the two worlds would have such great power.
She Li laughed loudly, and his bright red tongue danced wildly.
"Fang Yun, you will die in three years! If the saints of the human race protect you and break the oath between the two worlds, then the saints of the demons and barbarians will definitely exert their strength to kill you at a very small cost! You are dead!"
"Then I hope you can live to see that day." Fang Yun stood up and left.
"Three years later, I will slaughter all the soldiers in Liangjie Mountain to celebrate your death!" She Li's voice spread for hundreds of miles.
"I hope that one day, when my sword of words is on your neck, you can still be like today."
She Li smiled sinisterly and said, "His Majesty the Demon King asked me to tell you. You will never have enough time to finish writing thirteen legendary war poems!"
"Oh." Fang Yun agreed casually, brushed his sleeves and left the academy.
"You treat me like dust? Don't let me meet you outside Shengyuan Continent! Hiss..." The snake stared at the place where Fang Yun disappeared, and opened its mouth to threaten. Dark green venom dripped from its fangs, falling on the ground with white smoke rising, making a hissing sound, but in the blink of an eye, it corroded a fist-sized hole in the hard stone slab.
The Green-clothed Dragon Marquis closed his fan and said with a smile, "She Li, don't be so sure. I have to go to the Holy Academy to confirm whether the Ancient Galaxy has been delivered. I'm leaving first."
The Green-clothed Dragon Marquis leaped lightly, his body soaring into the air and transforming into a green dragon, his feet stepping on white auspicious clouds, and disappearing into the sky with a rumbling sound.
Fang Yun and Lu Hongyi sat firmly in the ten-horse carriage, without speaking for a long time.
Fang Yun looked out the window, watching the busy people of Yuhai City, and his heart became calmer and calmer.
This disaster has been avoided temporarily, but it only delayed the storm. Only by constantly accumulating strength can he have a chance to resist the final wrath of the demon saints.
Not long after, Fang Yun said, "Commander Lu, in previous years, the three-valley battle between the human race and the monsters began after the palace examination. When will it start this year?"
"It will start tomorrow. When you were in the Holy Ruins, the Holy Academy had already led people to Sangu Mountain." Lu Hongyi said.
"The three valleys are fighting in a row, with the three literary ranks of Juren, Jinshi and Hanlin participating. They correspond to the demon generals, demon commanders and demon marquises of the demon clan respectively. Why are there no Juren like me and Yan Yukong?" Fang Yun asked.
"The road to the three valleys is very dangerous. There have been cases where candidates were injured or even died because they had no power to protect themselves. Therefore, the human race simply sent five candidates with decent talents to fight for the victory of the first valley. After you pass the imperial examination, you will definitely receive an invitation to participate."
"I see. So what is the situation of the Mitani battle this time?"
"I'll wait until you join the battle before I make a prediction." Lu Hongyi's tone was full of helplessness.
"It is said that winning the three-valley battle will have great benefits?" Fang Yun asked.
"Of course there are, otherwise the human race wouldn't have fought with the demons and barbarians every year. Lord Jianmei got the Holy Dragon Ball from them. Don't worry about the outcome of the three-valley battle now. Even if you lose when you become a Jinshi, it doesn't matter. As long as you win the final victory when you are a Hanlin, you can make our human race proud."
"Yes." Fang Yun said.
The carriage fell silent again.
Not long after, Lu Hongyi said, "The imperial edict summoned you to the Jingguo Academy. After you pass the imperial examination, you will go to the capital after leaving the mountain of books?"
"After all, the Jingguo Academy is the head of the Jingguo Academy. Studying there will be of great help to my imperial examination."
Lu Hongyi nodded and said, "The mountain is high and the road is long, take care."
"Thank you Fang Yun."
Neither of them spoke again until the car arrived at Fang Yun's house.
Fang Yun got out of the car and turned around to say goodbye to Lu Hongyi, but Lu Hongyi spoke first.
"Your poem "Farewell to Zhang Poyue at Pinghu" is excellent. Everyone likes 'The lotus leaves are endless and green, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun', but I like 'After all, the scenery of Pinghu in June is different from that of other seasons'. Unfortunately, June has passed, and winter is coming. I'm leaving first, goodbye."
Without waiting for Fang Yun to speak, the carriage moved forward, and Fang Yun had no choice but to say, "Goodbye."
Fang Yun stood at the door. There were still people giving gifts in front of the door. Fang Yun chatted with them for a while before returning to the study.
The bright sunlight shone into the house through the window. Fang Yun sat on a chair, looking out the window quietly.
When seeing Zhang Poyue off that day, Fang Yun used that poem to persuade Zhang Poyue that the north was difficult, while Yuhai and the capital were safer. Please be careful. Now Lu Hongyi talked about the first two sentences, and the meaning was self-evident.
"No matter how dangerous the capital is, it is not as dangerous as the murderous intentions of the demon saints."
Fang Yun thought for a long time, sorting out what had happened recently in his mind. He had a new perspective on some things and understood the importance of self-reflection even more.
On the afternoon of the second day, news came from the three-valley battle. The human race was defeated miserably, and the demon race won again.
The human race has been defeated for eleven years in a row.
The news of Sangu's defeat in the consecutive battles was only spread among the middle and high-level human race, and seemed insignificant to the entire human race.
Fang Yun just sighed when he received the book, and then continued reading.
On the evening of August 30, Fang Yun said goodbye to Yang Yuhuan and left in a carriage carrying his book box. Two carriages followed behind him, carrying two Jinshi sent by the Criminal Court to protect him.
The car arrived at a secluded training ground in the western sub-city, and Fang Yun got off with his school box on his back.
Many officials from Yuhai City, including Lu Hongyi, Dong Wencong, Feng Zimo, and Fang Shouye, were here, while the general of Dayuan Prefecture, Chen Xibi, and several Jinshi were also waiting.
When Chen Xibi saw Fang Yun, he immediately bowed and said, "I will never forget your kindness in giving me back my life after my broken arm was broken."
Fang Yun smiled and said, "If General Chen hadn't stopped the turtle demon that day, I wouldn't have been able to kill it."
"I am grateful for your kindness. Escorting you is the real business. Let's go back to Dayuan Mansion first." Chen Xibi said.
Lu Hongyi said: "Let's stop talking nonsense. Let's take the flying boat to Dayuan Prefecture and be vigilant along the way. Don't be careless!"
Chen Xibi nodded and said, "Lord Wenhou is very unusual at this time. Although the reward for Wenhou on the hunting list has been cancelled, the monsters will definitely not miss the opportunity to kill Wenhou. Those monster kings or great monster kings are locked up in the Five Monster Mountains by Lord Dongsheng, but other monsters or rebellious scholars may take action. Don't take it lightly."
Lu Hongyi took out a holy page from his sleeve and threw it casually. It turned into a three-meter-long golden paper, floating one foot above the ground.
Compared with the Skywalker, the Flying Leaf Boat is pitifully simple.
People walked up one after another.
"Stand firm." After Lu Hongyi said this, he didn't care whether others stood firm or not, and controlled the Feiye airship to continue rising, and finally flew rapidly towards Dayuan Mansion.
Fang Yun stood on the edge of the flying leaf skyboat, looked back at the familiar Yuhai City, looked at the port and the blue sea not far away, then smiled and said: "I don't know when I can return to Yuhai City. Lord Dong, if I pass the imperial examination in a few days, Yuhuan and the others will come to Dayuan Mansion, please take care of it."
"There is no 'if', only 'definitely'. You will definitely pass the exam. As soon as the results are announced, I will send Yang Yuhuan and the others to Dayuan Mansion, and then you will set off from Dayuan Mansion to the capital. Don't worry, we have made all the arrangements along the way. If the monsters dare to be stupid enough to harm you at this time, I guarantee that they will never come back!" Dong Wencong's tone was full of confidence.
"Thank you all, gentlemen." Fang Yun bowed to everyone.
After flying for two quarters of an hour, suddenly, dark shadows emerged one after another from the forest ahead.
Fang Yun looked closely and saw eagle monsters flapping their wings and flying towards him, their speed far exceeding that of Fei Ye Kong Zhou. These eagle monsters were huge in size, each of them had at least the strength of a monster commander, and there were more than a hundred of them!
The dark mass of eagle demon generals was filled with terrifying oppression, like a giant ancient beast pouncing at them.
Fang Yun's heart tightened. This was equivalent to more than a hundred Jinshi. Even if they used magic to attack randomly, it would be enough to annihilate his entire army. Only Lu Hongyi was a Hanlin on the Feiye Sky Boat. The rest were just Jinshi, and they were far from being able to defeat so many demon commanders.
Everyone quickly prepared for battle. Before Fang Yun could even start discussing the strategy, he heard a cold snort like thunder.
"snort!"
A talented ancient sword surrounded by lightning fell from the sky.
Fang Yun blinked his eyes and saw hundreds of afterimages of the ancient sword of talent appearing in front of him, and each afterimage fell on the neck of a demon.
The heads of hundreds of eagle demon generals were cut off almost at the same time. The severed heads and corpses fell rapidly, forming a strange scene with the splashing bright red demon blood.
Fang Yun heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that the Holy Academy or the Jing Kingdom Royal Family had indeed made secret preparations. This person's sword was not as solid as Li Wenying's Blood-Lining Ancient Sword, but its changes were still better than the Blood-Lining Ancient Sword. He was most likely a great scholar.
