Monarch Night

Chapter 1576: Chapter 6: Whimpering... [Two-in-One]

According to legend, this taboo buffer zone was carved out who knows how many tens of thousands of years ago, by some Supreme Human expert together with the true King of the Wan Ling Zhi Forest.

Your Demon Beasts don’t step outside this place, and my Humans don’t step into this place.

Then both sides can mind their own business.

Of course, that’s just the legend.

But legend or not, this strip of no-man’s-land really does exist.

On both sides of the buffer zone, it’s all lush green trees and endless mountain forest; only this stretch in the middle is just one river and countless sand and stones.

Not even a single blade of grass.

And this distance... it’s a full eight hundred li wide! As for the length... still don’t know how long it runs.

"Could it be inside here?"

Fang Che couldn’t make up his mind.

Do I go in and take a look or not?

From his own point of view, he really didn’t want to go in. Because those four words "Martial Artist Forbidden Zone" are really not a joke.

He’s still got so many big things left undone; if he ends up feeding some Demon Beast here... then even in the Yama Palace he’d be so aggrieved he couldn’t even cry it out...

Fang Che swayed with the wind atop the treetops; afraid of attracting the attention of Super level Demon Beasts, he even hid every bit of his aura, sealing it up tight.

Right now, even if a Demon Beast walked right past him, it would never realize that this thing exuding pure natural breath was actually a Human.

Just as he was hesitating...

Suddenly his eyes tightened, and in that instant, his eyeballs nearly popped out.

Because not far from him, several human figures suddenly drifted out.

Like ghosts appearing out of nowhere, suddenly showing up in this place full of White Bones.

Fang Che counted them; exactly seven people.

It was obvious all seven had gathered up their full cultivation. Though they were walking atop that stretch of mudflat, their bodies absolutely never touched any bit of ground or stone.

They were completely separating themselves with Spiritual Energy.

Very cautious.

They seemed to be saying something to one another.

Fang Che gently closed his eyes, afraid that his gaze would attract their notice.

His Divine Sense spread out soundlessly, and the Golden Horned Flood Dragon whistled forth without a sound.

In just a moment.

It reached the air above those people, then began reporting back to Fang Che.

Based on the Golden Horned Flood Dragon’s description, Fang Che fixed the appearances of the seven.

But he still couldn’t tell whether they belonged to the Guardians, the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, or some Jianghu Wanderer from an Outer World Mountain Sect.

This group of seven was exactly Bei Mingxin and his Six Guardians.

They’d been wandering around this area for many days already.

Right now, Bei Mingxin’s goal had shifted from "searching for Divine Formless Jade" to "sightseeing while searching for Divine Formless Jade."

Anyway there’s not the slightest sensing reaction, so might as well keep looking.

For now, I’m not going back. If I go back empty-handed, Bi Changhong will probably work me to death.

But as long as I don’t go back, I’ve got nothing to worry about. So at the moment, Bei Mingxin was quite at ease.

Fang Che had never seen Bei Mingxin.

Back then when Fang Che collected a pile of Ancient Jade and had Bei Mingxin appraise it, Fang Che had slipped away and hidden.

From start to finish, he and Bei Mingxin had never met in person.

Right now he just felt it was weird, that’s all.

Bei Mingxin walked along the mudflat and said indifferently: "This is the so‑called Martial Artist Forbidden Zone of the entire Continent. They say if you don’t have strength ranked in the top few of Cloud City, you’re not fit to enter here."

"From our side, a thousand li back is the usual trial area for ordinary Martial Artists. And the Three Life Fragrance is located there. They say once you’re hit by it, even after reincarnating three lives you still carry the stench. That’s why it’s called Three Life Fragrance..."

"And once you cross this buffer zone, going two thousand li in on that side, you reach Guang Ming Mountain—the place in legend where Divine Attribute Metal falls the most, and also where high-level Human experts and Demon Beasts clash the most."

One of the protectors asked, "Since it’s a forbidden land, how come that side is actually where the most conflicts happen? Aren’t people not allowed to go in?"

"Forbidden land doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to go in."

Bei Mingxin stressed, "Forbidden land just tells you it’s dangerous inside, that going in will cost you your life. But if you insist on courting death and want to enter, then go in. No one’s stopping you!"

"Uh... so that’s how it is."

The six brothers all nodded.

"So even though it’s marked as forbidden, some Human experts are still able to sneak in. With their skills, no one will ever know they were here."

Bei Mingxin snorted through his nose and said coolly, "Otherwise, where do you think all that Divine Attribute Metal owned by the Wei Wo Zheng Sect and the Guardians comes from?"

"You think it just grows under our Main Sect headquarters?"

"Big Brother is right."

"From what I know, the ones from our sect who’ve come here the most are Lord spear madman and several Vice Sect Masters. Among the Guardians, the one who’s come here the most is Ningxue Sword Rui Qianshan. And before Rui Qianshan, Dongfang Zhongming, in order to ease the pressure on his son, came here for a stroll once in a while."

Bei Mingxin suddenly laughed: "Back then Lord Duan learned of this and wanted to ambush Dongfang Zhongming, but Dongfang Sansan tricked him several times in a row. After that, he never again tried to lay hands on the guy’s old man."

"Didn’t expect Duan Shouzuo to chicken out too."

One protector sounded a bit schadenfreude.

"Duan Shouzuo just couldn’t bear to make that father and son part in life and death."

Bei Mingxin warned, "When we get back, this is exactly how you have to put it!"

"Got it! We all got it."

The few of them chuckled.

Thinking of Duan Shouzuo’s usual ice‑cold, ’invincible under heaven’ look, and how he’d once been scared into not daring to make a move...

They all felt that gap‑moe cuteness bubbling up.

In their hearts they pictured Duan Shouzuo fleeing in disarray, imagining him as a wild rabbit being chased by a fox, running around in a panic without knowing where to go...
