“Sigh… What’s false about this? Just come over and see for yourself.” The voice of the Wolf Savage Saint was filled with sorrow.

Fang Yun slowly walked over and found many shattered bones, most of which were crushed into powder, but a bone fragment the size of a fingernail was particularly special, remaining unscathed even when struck by the toxic blade snow.

A black wolf’s head emerged on it, resembling a simple brush painting, very similar to the appearance of the Wolf Savage Saint.

Fang Yun knew at a glance that the Wolf Savage Saint was indeed dead. He quickly walked over, intending to pick up the bone fragment.

“Don’t touch me! Your power of The Courage to Write will kill me!” The wolf’s head on the bone fragment seemed to shout, its mouth even moving.

Fang Yun ignored him, reached out, wrapped the power of The Courage to Write around it, and held it in his hand. The power of The Courage to Write would not only protect the spirit within the wolf but also prevent it from suddenly harming others.

“You’re really cautious,” the wolf’s head remarked.

“I didn’t kill you outright; that’s not being cautious. Tell me, why did you call for me specifically?”

“Do you think anyone else would come here after you? Should I wait for ten years?”

Fang Yun glanced at the wolf’s head and said, “That’s true. Seeing a wolf cub who wanted to kill me dead here is the most delightful thing since entering the Comet Corridor.”

“You… I won’t quibble with you! Let’s make a deal, you save me, and I’ll give you a treasure!” the Wolf Savage Saint said.

“Oh? Then you should be aware of the price I, as a member of the human race, would pay for saving a Wolf Savage Saint. Once it’s known, I can only be a traitor.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t spread the word, after all, you’re saving my life.”

Fang Yun looked around and said, “Alright, joke time is over. Whether I save you or not, I need to consider. Right now, you must want revenge, right?” After speaking, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Fang Yun’s mouth.

The Wolf Savage Saint, not showing any temper, said, “I understand! Of course, I want revenge! It seems you’re smart too. You know we now have a common enemy! You should know who my enemy is; he wants to kill you too!”

“Speak, who is it exactly?” Fang Yun asked as he walked.

“You’re going in the wrong direction; the Throne of Stars is not directly opposite the entrance to the seventh corridor!” the Wolf Clan Saint said.

“Oh?”

“This year’s Throne of Stars is in the northwest direction,” the Wolf Savage Saint said.

“How do you know?”

“Hmph, I know you don’t believe me. Just keep walking, and you’ll definitely see the traces of their passage, although most of the traces have been buried and crushed by the toxic blade snow. With your ability, you can easily detect them,” the Wolf Savage Saint said.

“Hmm, I guess you wouldn’t dare to deceive me,” Fang Yun said bluntly, not having a shred of goodwill towards the Wolf Savage Saint.

The Wolf Savage Saint seemed to understand and dared not be as arrogant as before.

Fang Yun walked briskly, asking, “Who killed you? Was it Eagle Flame or Dragon Ridge?”

“It wasn’t Eagle Flame. He likes to act alone and, like Dou Ji, is a proud son of heaven, disdaining to do all sorts of despicable things, even by your human standards, he has a noble character.”

“Oh? Fresh, even you demons know you’re despicable?” Fang Yun said.

The wolf’s head on the bone fragment felt stifled and said, “You’re a scholar; I can’t outtalk you. It was Dragon Ridge who did it. Dragon Ridge is different; the Barbarian Clan has a physique almost like the Demon Clan and the wisdom close to the human race, so they are more scheming than us demons. He doesn’t care about what’s despicable or not.”

“Just like you,” Fang Yun said.

“I admit it, but I’m different from him. I wouldn’t kill a Demon Barbarian Saint for a Throne of Stars. At most, I’d injure or drive them away! However, Dragon Ridge used the excuse that I deliberately harmed him, stirring up trouble between you and him, hoping to use you to eliminate him. But in reality, it was The Tyrant who was speaking ill of me.”

“So that wolf demon was indeed The Tyrant,” Fang Yun said.

“Indeed, you can’t hide it from you. However, you probably don’t know, my elder brother and he have known each other for a long time. Before entering The Holy Land, I had already struck a deal with him. Do you remember that rainy night?”

“The night I used The Weak Water cavalry to kill you?”

The Wolf Savage Saint said gloomily, “The night I led the Demon Barbarian clans to chase you to the village. Alright, it’s the same. Anyway, the reason I could find the initial Presented Scholar team was because The Tyrant told me. I was in the open; he was in the shadows. He even told me to kill the genius of the Zhang Zhongjing Prominent Family.”

“The Tyrant is indeed vicious!” Fang Yun clenched his right fist. The Medical Clan, like the Agricultural and Engineering Clans, rarely participated in the disputes of The Path of the Saints. If they did compete, it was internal debates over medical techniques, always quietly helping the human race. Like Hua Yuqing, who would consume his own lifespan to treat others in critical moments. If it weren’t for Hua Yuqing burning part of the medical books to save his life in The Holy Land, Fang Yun would have undoubtedly died.

The Tyrant even targeted the genius of the Medical Clan, an act so vile it far surpassed the theft of treasures from other Prominent Families. Because any genius of the Medical Clan could potentially save dying members of the human race, making an immortal contribution to the continuation of the human race.

“Did he do it for the medical books?” Fang Yun asked.

“Yes, he got the blood of the Demon Saint’s son and dripped it into the medical book, allowing him to heal himself even in the Comet Corridor. Otherwise, with his ability, even if he followed us saints, he wouldn’t survive.”

Fang Yun nodded, acknowledging he believed what the Wolf Savage Saint said. Outside The Holy Land, even with great audacity, The Tyrant wouldn’t dare to kill a member of the Medical Clan, let alone a genius from the Zhang Zhongjing Prominent Family. Therefore, the medical books he could use were very ordinary. But inside The Holy Land, he could kill the heirs of the Medical Clan, thus obtaining better medical books to ensure a smoother journey through the Comet Corridor.

“When did The Tyrant and Dragon Ridge join forces?” Fang Yun asked.

The Wolf Savage Saint said, “When crossing the Falling Star Bridge, I made it clear that I could only help The Tyrant up to that point. The last chase after the meteor was barely within my reach, unlike the other three Great Saints who could easily pass. Then he chose to cooperate with Dragon Ridge, I don’t know what he promised Dragon Ridge, but Dragon Ridge agreed immediately and led him all the way.”

“By that time, there were cracks in your relationship, right?” Fang Yun asked.

“Yes, but we had a common goal: we both wanted to kill you. Moreover, we hadn’t reached the seventh corridor yet, so we were amicable. However, after delving deeper into the seventh corridor, Dragon Ridge suddenly made his move, killing me and my two saintly followers. If it were anywhere else, I might have escaped, but here, with the toxic blade snow everywhere, even as a Wolf Savage Saint, I couldn’t withstand their combined attack with the toxic blade snow and was quickly killed.”

“Is there a deeper reason why they killed you?” Fang Yun asked.

“I know too many of The Tyrant’s secrets; he wanted to silence me! If I had lived to return, even if there were no evidence, even if it happened in The Holy Land, he might have been punished by All the Saints’ Prominent Families. Moreover, the struggle for the throne in our Barbarian Clan is more brutal than in your human race. After I died, I realized that my elder brother and he had probably decided long ago that once I was no longer useful, they would kill me to silence me, after all, my elder brother’s collusion with the notorious Tyrant of the human race is a stain.”

“Besides colluding with you to kill the genius of the Zhang Zhongjing Prominent Family, what else has The Tyrant done?” Fang Yun asked.

“He killed several, but all were stealth attacks by himself; I don’t know who exactly, he didn’t say.”

“Besides that, does he have any other secrets?” Fang Yun asked.

The Wolf Savage Saint hesitated for a moment and said, “He never said, but I know he has power related to the Demon Ancestor, and he might become the King of Stars. Right, Dragon Ridge doesn’t know it’s The Tyrant, he just thinks he’s an ordinary wolf demon from my tribe.”

“You didn’t tell?” Fang Yun asked.

The Wolf Savage Saint sneered, “At first, The Tyrant didn’t let me say, so naturally, I didn’t. Later, when I was ambushed, there was no chance to say. Now that I think about it, not saying was a good thing. Dragon Ridge would never think that a wolf demon would compete with him for the Throne of Stars, but with The Tyrant’s methods, he will surely ambush Dragon Ridge and kill him. However, Dragon Ridge is not so easy to kill; he is one of the three Great Saints among the demon generals, the cream of the crop among his peers in the Demon Barbarian clan, how could he not have a means to save his life? So the result will surely be that both are injured, or even possibly both dead! This is what I most want to see.”

“What means does Dragon Ridge have?” Fang Yun asked.

The Wolf Savage Saint laughed, “Your human race doesn’t know, and few in our demon race do, but I know. Dragon Ridge’s ancestral spirit has entered the second realm, transformed into an ancestral spirit. Forget about The Tyrant’s distraction, even that Frost Hound can’t do anything to him when he transforms into an ancestral spirit. Moreover, Dragon Ridge’s ancestral spirit is very peculiar. It is said that his father, the Barbarian Saint, ate the Dragon Marrow Sacred Blood, and when he was born, he activated the power within, with the power of Dragon Marrow Sacred Blood in his bloodline, making him very strong.”

Fang Yun felt a headache upon hearing this; the second realm of the ancestral spirit was equivalent to the second realm of The Courage to Write, but in terms of combat ability, the ancestral spirit was several times that of The Courage to Write. After all, The Courage to Write was not born for combat, but the ancestral spirit was.

“Is there any way to break his ancestral spirit?”

“No. But your Emperor’s Poem, Slaying Dragon Poem, and others can do it. I remember you’ve written an Emperor’s Poem, right? However, I feel you should be most cautious of The Tyrant. His strength is not strong in The Holy Land, but his methods are varied.” As the Wolf Savage Saint spoke, he looked at the little meteor on Fang Yun’s shoulder, glanced at it, and then looked away, not recognizing what it was.

“What about Eagle Flame?” Fang Yun asked.

“Eagle Flame is much simpler. If you can defeat it, it will immediately give up competing for the Throne of Stars. If you lose to it, it will let you leave. Also, Eagle Flame’s ancestral spirit is the Great Sun True Fire, which is also one of the star powers, making it very strong here. Once it uses the Great Sun True Fire, even this toxic blade snow will melt. Sigh, these geniuses are born with great phenomena and mighty powers; it’s really incomparable.”

“It’s okay, I’ll help you. I can’t raise you to their level, but I can try to bring them down to your level,” Fang Yun said.

The Wolf Savage Saint was stunned for a moment and asked, “Do you want to compete for the King of Stars?”

“Of course.”

“Why do you want to compete?”

“I feel that I’m not inferior to the Demon Emperor, not inferior to the Dragon of the Kong Family, not inferior to the Princess of the Dragon Palace, and certainly not inferior to the three Great Saints!” Fang Yun said, his eyes becoming more determined.

The Wolf Savage Saint was stunned again and slowly said, “I understand now. To obtain the Throne of Stars, one must first have the heart to compete for it. I wanted to kill you before because I thought you were just so-so, but now I understand that you are indeed much stronger than me, a saint, much stronger. No wonder that fox said it would ask the Demon Saint to kill you…”

The Wolf Savage Saint suddenly shut his mouth and looked at Fang Yun in panic.

“Say that again!” Fang Yun said slowly. (To be continued.)
