《Nine Yang Sword Saints》 Chapter 1: Nine Yang Who Leapt Through Time (Part 1) Chapter 1: Nine Yang Who Leapt Through Time (Part 1)Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Where am I? Didnt I burn to death? Yang Dingtian found himself in a completely foreign world. He was in a cave, a particularly deep cave. Crystal-clear ice covered every inch. He had been in the female teachers dormitory in Shui Mu University a few minutes earlier having sex with his stunning girlfriend and teacher, Li Bijun. When they reached climax, his entire body had been boiling hot. It then ignited, and he lost consciousness from the excruciating pain. By the time he woke up, he was already in this strange cave. Yang Dingtian turned twenty this year and was a sophomore student. His dad was a huge fan of Jin Yong, so he gave him a domineering name like Yang Dingtian. (TL note: Jin Yong is a Chinese novelist who was known for his wuxia novels. Yang Dingtians name, Dingtian, roughly translates to against the heavens or on top of the heavens, which carries quite a domineering meaning in Chinese. Another meaning for Ding is Poke so this may lead others to think in an erotic way...) He was fairly attractive, intelligent, sensitive, kind, and a little mischievous. His strength was due to the vigorous Yang Fire within him. Since he was young, he had never been afraid of the cold and could even stand temperatures of ten below zero degrees Celsius dressed in just a shirt. He never gained a single pound no matter how much he ate and had a huge appetite. Of course, these werent bad things. Even so, his parents had brought him to countless doctors, and they all came to the same conclusion. Despite being underweight, he was perfectly healthy. A sloppy Daoist priest traveling to the west came across Yang Dingtian when the latter was eight years old. Astonished, he said, I never thought that the legendary Nine Yang Body actually existed. The priest had told Yang Dingtian that the Yang Fire in his Nine Yang Body exceeded others by several times. He could never have sex or even masturbate because of it. Even if he abstained from all sexual activities, his Yang Fire would likely still consume him before he turned twenty-five. Yang Dingtians family believed the Daoist priest had lied, so they just ignored him. Yang Dingtian began to realize things were getting worse as he went through puberty. Whenever he lusted after a girl in real life, photos, or videos, a vigorous flame would burn within him, and his body temperature would skyrocket. The situation only got more intense. Yang Dingtian first dated and caressed a girl when he was eighteen. He fainted with a fever burning over 42 degrees Celsius that peaked in less than a minute. His girlfriend had been so frightened that she screamed and called an ambulance which fortunately saved his life. Only then did Yang Dingtian recall the Daoist priest warning him against sexual activities. His first masturbation attempt proved that the priest might have been speaking the truth. Yang Dingtian never tried to have sex before he turned twenty. He couldnt hold it in any longer. His girlfriend was so sexy that she had obliterated his defenses. On the night of his birthday, she finally broke through his last line of defense with the help of alcohol, drugs, eroticism, and lust. They had begun a steamy session in bed. The outcome proved the Daoist priest right. Yang Dingtian, possessing the Nine Yang Body, really did ignite as he attempted physical intimacy. His father seemed able to predict the future when he gave him his name. Yang Dingtian really had the name Yang..., Ding Tian. (TL note: Can be interpreted as going to heaven.) Just when Yang Dingtian had burned to nothingness, lost consciousness, and fell into endless darkness, he woke to find himself in a completely unfamiliar environment. He was deep within an ice cave. Where the hell is this place? Yang Dingtian shrank slightly. He couldnt believe he actually felt the cold. He had absolutely no clue what it felt like to be cold growing up. He did now. Could this be an arctic cave? Yang Dingtian asked himself. It truly was like the North Pole because he had never felt cold even when it was twenty to thirty degrees below zero in his north-eastern hometown. It had to be at least fifty to sixty below zero here. Yang Dingtian climbed to his feet, naked, as he began to explore the cave. He couldnt wrap his head around inexplicably showing up here rather than burning to death. He probably would have frozen to death in just a few minutes if he hadnt possessed the Nine Yang Body. The cave looked hopelessly deep with only a sliver of sky visible. It must have been bright outside. The rays of light passed through the small hole and reflected off the ice to illuminate the entire cave. Yang Dingtian could tell that the cave was at least a thousand meters deep. The smooth, vertical walls would be impossible to scale without tools. The bottom of the cave was only roughly a hundred square meters in area, something that Yang Dingtian could easily explore in a couple of steps. He desperately searched for an exit or a secret door, but he only found more ice after a long search. There was nothing behind or beneath the ice either, not even stone or soil. There was just more ice. Oh My God! How am I supposed to get out of here? This horrid place doesnt even have food. Ill starve to death in a few days. Yang Dingtian dejectedly sat on the ice. He didnt have his mobile phone because he was naked. There probably wouldnt be a signal even if he had it. He stood again shortly and shouted towards the sky, Someone! Help! Is there anyone out there? Yang Dingtian yelled a dozen times, but not even an animal showed up at the hole. He sat against an icicle. I wonder how Bijun is right now. Did she burn with me? Yang Dingtian thought of his girlfriend and English teacher in sorrow. Later, he reluctantly searched the cave again as he wondered if Bijun had transmigrated with him. Clearly, it was impossible for Li Bijun to be present because the cave was empty. Dad, look at the bloody name you gave me. Its just far too overbearing, and I cant stand it. Yang Dingtian thought of his father, Jin Yongs hard-core fan, as well as his unreasonable and strict mother. Theyd probably already heard of his death. He wondered how sad they were. He looked back through the hole to the sky and sighed. How can I get out of this horrible cave? Suddenly, he was dazzled. The sun had arrived above the cave, and it forced him to squint. Yang Dingtian opened his eyes swiftly, frozen from shock. What he had seen had been so distressing, even horrific, that he jolted to his feet There were two suns in the sky. There were actually two suns! Yang Dingtian thought he had seen wrong or that it had been a hallucination. He rubbed his eyes hard to clear them. No mistake. There were two suns. One was significantly larger than the other. One was also significantly brighter than the other. Oh My God! This isnt Earth. Earth only has one sun, but there are two here. W-where the hell is this place then? An alien planet? A different world? Have I leaped through time? Have I actually leaped through time and space? Yang Dingtian collapsed on the ice again. He felt the world spinning as though he were about to faint. Other people transmigrated through electric shocks, disasters, being struck by lightning, or through plane crashes which were the most common premises behind transmigration. Only he, Yang Dingtian, had nearly burned to death and leaped through time while in the middle of having sex. This method of time travel was unprecedented. Dad, look at this bloody name you gave to your son! Yang Dingtian! What a domineering name it is! I wasnt fortunate enough to enjoy this name, yet it sent me to another world! ******************** Farewell, mom and my dad, farewell my friends, and farewell Earth! Mom and dad, dont be too heartbroken. Youre both still young, so perhaps you can have another child. Bijun, you probably burned to death with me, so we could be considered lovers that perished in a fire. Yang Dingtian leaned against the icicle in the center of the cave and finally accepted the fact that he had leaped through time and arrived in a different world. He suppressed his tears as he recalled the past. No, I cant just continue grieving like this. Time-travelers in novels achieve great success. I cant just die of starvation after leaping through time. Yang Dingtian stood up. He wanted to find a way out. In the end, he struggled for several hours and failed to scale even half a foot up the walls. The ice was far too slippery and hard. There was nothing he could do. He looked for a way out again, but the results were no different. The shock and sorrow from the last few hours coupled with the struggle exhausted him. He returned to the middle of the cave and leaned against the icicle again, resting while he thought of another way out. He only planned to rest for a while, but he ended up falling asleep. It was fortunate that he possessed the rare Nine Yang Body. He had accumulated Yang Fire in his body for nearly two dozen years, and only a little had leaked out when he had sex with Li Bijun back on Earth. He barely felt cold as he slept naked in the frigid cave. It would be impossible for him to freeze. Yang Dingtians hunger woke him a while later. His constitution required more food than that of ordinary people, and it was agonizing after several dozen hours without eating. There was only ice in this hell. There was no food. Yang Dingtian stood again and found the two suns appearing in the hole above the cave. He had slept for at least a whole day, but he was unsure how long that was in this world.

His stove-like body had melted most of it away over the ten hours hed slept near it. He wasnt surprised. The crystal-blue icicle had become more transparent as it melted, and there seemed to be something inside it. There was something inside the icicle?! Chapter 2: Nine Yang Who Leapt Through Time (Part 2) Chapter 2: Nine Yang Who Leapt Through Time (Part 2Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales There was something inside the icicle?! Yang Dingtian excitedly rushed for a closer look. He still couldnt see it clearly. This was the only piece of ice that was blue, rather than transparent, in the entire cave. Although Yang Dingtian had melted a large portion, it still wasnt clear enough to see through. Yang Dingtian wrapped himself around the icicle and began to tremble. He would have frozen by now if his Nine Yang body werent as hot as a stove. He got colder and colder until he could barely stand it. He hugged the icicle just like that for a couple of hours, taking a short break every half hour. The icicle melted inch by inch. As Yang Dingtian got closer to the core, it grew agonizingly cold. Yang Dingtian shivered continually after five hours, and he nearly blacked out for a moment. He was tenacious despite knowing that being wrapped around the ice for so long would risk his life. Yang Dingtian had a strong character, and he would never give up until he achieved his goals. Theres a person inside? Yang Dingtian was ecstatic. Finally, the icicle had almost completely melted, and it was crystal-clear. It was odd to find a person frozen in a thousand-meter deep cave. The ice had a white-haired old man with a beard as tangled as weeds inside. His true age seemed impossible to judge under all the wrinkles. He looked like an old dirty beggar, though his clothes werent torn. His exposed hands were thin and dry like a dead trees branches. He had a gloomy aura. Yang Dingtian found it disappointing that this person could have been frozen and dead for a long time. The reason he was sealed in the ice remained unknown. Eventually, Yang Dingtian decided to get the old man out of the ice although he might already be dead by now. Yang Dingtian endured the cold that spread deep down into his bones and hugged the cold icicle that he was terrified of that his entire body started shivering. Towards the end, this melting mission really challenges ones determination towards the extent where the ice cold feeling can no longer be described by words. Finally, Yang Dingtian couldnt stand it that he blacked out and nearly fainted. Crakkk...Just right before he fainted, there was a cracking sound. The final layer of the ice that was covering the old man has cracked completely that the huge thick icicle had disappeared. The piercing cold was gone and Yang Dingtian gradually regained his heat energy. The only thing was that he couldnt move at the moment. Yang Dingtian lay on the old man just like that, smelling the old mans indecent smell. Though it wasnt extremely smelly, it was sufficient to make a person uncomfortable. Suddenly! The old man that was right in front of him opened his eyes! Yang Dingtian was frightened. Was he faking his death? Wasnt he already dead? Just then, this gloomy old man stuck out his thin, dry hands and strangled Yang Dingtian s neck. His long nails were as of sharp knives poking through his major arteries. His eyes looked cold and lost while his old face was filled with anger. He shouted something at Yang Dingtian. His voice was so sharp that it sounded like the knife scratching the wall. However, Yang Dingtian couldnt understand a single word he just said. It was a language that Yang Dingtian had never come across. The old man became extremely angry when Yang Dingtian did not respond to him. He then repeated what he said previously, but this time, it sounded like he was forcefully questioning Yang Dingtian. I, I cant even understand what you are talking about? Yang Dingtian replied. After listening to Yang Dingtian s reply, he became excited and continued asking several questions. Then, he placed his old and ugly face closer to Yang Dingtian and questioned him non-stop. At that moment, his nails were deeply pierced into Yang Dingtian s neck. Yang Dingtian instantly felt the pain and fresh blood dripped down from his neck. Yang Dingtian had already used up all of his energy and couldnt even move at the moment. Right then, the old man asked another question. Yang Dingtian smiled painfully and said, Old gentleman, I really really dont understand what you are saying? The old man became angry again that he scratched Yang Dingtian s neck again, instantly leaving a deep wound that exposed his flesh and caused him to bleed. Then, he undoubtedly asked something again. Yang Dingtian still couldnt understand. The old man got even angrier this time. He strangled Yang Dingtian and asked him again with a much colder tone. Although Yang Dingtian couldnt really understand what the old man was saying, he could roughly understand what he was trying to express. If he still refused to speak, he might end up being strangled to death by the old man. Yang Dingtian instantly showed a bitter smile. I risked my life to save you, and you are about to strangle me to death. Why did I even do this? The old man also couldnt understand what Yang Dingtian was saying, but it was obvious that it wasnt the answer that he was looking for. He let out a cruel laugh and then tightened his hands around Yang Dingtians neck even harder. Yang Dingtian struggled to breathe. His eyes were protruding, and his tongue stuck out of his mouth. He barely managed to save the old man and was now about to be strangled to death. He didnt even have the energy to regret. I can die but definitely not in this unexplained situation while feeling vexed. Yang Dingtian bit his teeth, not knowing where the energy came from. He raised his leg and kicked at the air randomly. Bang..... He kicked the old man in the chest. Crakk..... There was a clear sound of something breaking that resembled the sound of broken branches being stepped on. It was the old mans ribs that had just broken from the kick. Yang Dingtian wasnt that strong, but the old mans bones were already so crisp and dry that they were broken easily from the kick. It seemed like the old man had used up his remaining strength to strangle Yang Dingtian. When he fell down due to the kick, Yang Dingtian was set free. Yang Dingtian immediately stepped back and kept his distance far from the old man. Finally, he leaned back against the cave wall, gasping for air. He looked at the wounds on his body and cautiously kept his eyes on the terrifying old man. Several wounds on his body had stopped bleeding, but he still felt the burning sensation. However, the cave was way too small so it was impossible to completely get away from this crazy old man. Yang Dingtian wheezed while he recharged his energy, but his eyes never left the dangerous old man. He was no longer going to be polite if the old man attacked him again, Yang Dingtian thought. But, after the old man was being kicked by Yang Dingtian, he spat out two mouthfuls of dark red blood. He tried to sit up straight using his hands, but he failed after many attempts, probably because his chest was deeply injured from the kick. It seemed like he could only move his hands which was why he couldnt sit up no matter how hard he tried. After many attempts, the old man still failed. He became furious and started yelling. He kept hitting the ice on the ground with his hands angrily, and the wound on his chest worsened. He spat out some black blood from his mouth, causing his hands and the ice on the ground to turn bloody as well. S?a?ch* Th? N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Then, he gave up, laid his back on the ice, and started yelling. Of course, Yang Dingtian couldnt understand what he was yelling about, but it sounded full of hatred and grief that Yang Dingtian couldnt help but be affected. This old man is also very pitiful. Yang Dingtian felt a burst of sympathy. In the end, the old man stopped yelling and just lay on the ice quietly without making a single sound. The broken ribs on his chest might have pierced into his flesh as his chest became swollen. At first, the old man was still breathing. One could see his chest move up and down. Then, it looked like he finally stopped breathing. Although Yang Dingtian knew how dangerous it was, he still couldnt hold back and walked over to the old man slowly. Yang Dingtian gently prodded the old man with his foot from a distance, but there wasnt any response. He then took another step forward and touched the old mans neck artery. There was still a heartbeat, but it was already extremely weak. Yang Dingtian went up and lifted the old man. Then, he unbuttoned his shirt to check out the wound on his chest. His right chest ribs had broken after his kick. Two broken ribs could be seen clearly as he was as thin as a human stick with only a layer of skin covering his bones. One of the ribs had pierced into his flesh, and his right chest had swollen up a few inches. It appeared both green and purple, looking terrible. Yang Dingtian used his vague first-aid knowledge to help the old man and barely managed to set the broken bones. Throughout the entire process, the old man had trembled several times due to the excruciating pain, but he didnt wake up. Fortunately, the two broken ribs did not break into many pieces. However, Yang Dingtian had a rough time adjusting his broken bones. In this snowy ice-cold place, Yang Dingtian exuded fine sweat. Suddenly, Yang Dingtian s eyes felt somewhat painful. All he could see was two long, sharp nails right in front of his eyes. The moment he moved a little, these two sharp nails would pierce straight into his eyeballs, blinding him completely. He did not know when the old man had woken up. As soon as he met Yang Dingtians eyes, he let out a cruel laugh. At the moment, Yang Dingtians flesh and blood were still on those nails. Coupled with the old mans cruel and brutal face, it became even creepier. Yang Dingtian was so nervous that he held his breath, looked down, and continued adjusting the old mans bones as if he didnt know that the old man was about to make him blind. However, both of his hands were trembling at the moment. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and continued adjusting the old mans broken bones once his hands stopped trembling. He received nothing in return from such act. Instead, the old man gave him a cruel sneer as if he were laughing at Yang Dingtians cunning act. Even so, Yang Dingtian ignored him and continued to treat the old man carefully. The old mans sharp nails slowly pierced into Yang Dingtian s flesh just like a sharp knife piercing through millimeter by millimeter. The nails had pierced through nearly a centimeter and had pierced the outer layer of skin. Soon, they would reach Yang Dingtians eyeballs. Yang Dingtian made a fist with his right hand and was about to slam his fist at the old mans broken bones to pierce through his heart and kill him once and for all. However, the old man suddenly stopped and removed his nails from Yang Dingtian s flesh. He closed his eyes and left everything to Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian took a long deep breath, calmed his heart down, and continued treating the old man. Finally, after he finished treating the broken ribs, Yang Dingtian carefully wrapped the wound with his clothes. Although it was not that gentle to the wound, there was no other choice as there wasnt a single piece of wood in the cave. After everything was done, Yang Dingtian kept his distance from the old man again. He sat down far away against the cave wall. As for the dangerous old man, his eyes were completely closed, and he didnt move. Chapter 3: The Mysterious Old Man (Part 1) Chapter 3: The Mysterious Old Man (Part 1)Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales The sky had turned dark by now. As the cave was too deep underground, Yang Dingtian looked up and only managed to see a palm-sized piece of the sky through the supposedly large cave hole. At this moment, the moon had already risen up to the sky and was passing through the sky above Yang Dingtians head. However, he clearly saw two moons. There was a quote written by Su DongBo that stated wishing you a long life, even though we are miles apart. It was sad that even the moon that Yang Dingtian was looking at was different from the moon that his parents would be looking at. Whats more, there were even two moons here. (TL note: Su Dongbo was a famous Chinese writer.) Yang Dingtian was tired and upset. He looked at the old man who was seated not far away. He was still sitting in the same position, eyes closed and motionless. In this situation, there was nothing more to fear. Yang Dingtian slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep. Dozens of hours later, he woke up. Yang Dingtian had wanted to get up and continue looking for a way to escape from the cave. However, he realized that he couldnt stand up at all. A few consecutive days of starvation had completely drained all his energy. Similarly, the heat energy that had been stored in his body for years had been completely used up to rescue the old man from the icicle. During these few days, Yang Dingtian had only drunk a few mouthfuls of ice-melted water. He hadnt eaten even the slightest bit of food after having also lost a lot of blood. Though he wished to get up now, he had absolutely no energy left to do so. At the moment, the sky out there was gloomy and filled with dark clouds as the sun had already set. Soon, it began to snow, and fist-sized snowballs fiercely rained down from the sky. After a while, the cave floor was covered with a thick layer of snow. The old mans entire body was also gradually being buried in snow. An hour later, he had become a snowman, his entire body no longer visible. As the snow covering Yang Dingtian gradually thickened, his fiery body was soon no longer capable of melting the snow. In order to avoid being buried, Yang Dingtian shook his head hard. However, after a while, he was covered in snow again, and he had to shake his head again. S?a??h th? ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Once, twice, thrice.... In the end, Yang Dingtian no longer had the strength to even shake his head. The last trace of heat energy in his body had been consumed, and he could only watch as the snow covered him and whittled away at his life. Suddenly, the snow covering the old man not far away vibrated. The old man had finally moved. He reached into his sleeves and pulled out something red and threw it towards Yang Dingtian. It was a red pill. The pill landed on a pile of snow and instantly melted all of it. In contrast to the clean white snow covering the cave floor, the red pill stood out glaring like a flame. At this moment, Yang Dingtians will to survive gave him a final bit of strength. He rushed forward and opened his mouth to eat the red pill. As to whether is it was poisonous? As to what the consequences of eating it were? Yang Dingtian no longer cared. Though the pill had just been placed into his mouth, it felt as if a raging fire had dissolved in his mouth, flowed into his abdomen, and spread through all of the veins in his body. Instantly, he felt as warm as someone greeted by the return of spring. Yang Dingtians stiff body began to recover inch by inch. Soon, his entire body had recovered and turned back into a hot stove. He had finally restored his vitality. Whats more, there was even a powerful force rushing through his body, desperately trying to burst out. Yang Dingtian felt nothing but endless energy within him. What is this thing? How is it so magical? Yang Dingtian was surprised and excited at the same time. He walked towards the old man, bowed, and said, Thank you, mister! But, your body can no longer stand the cold either. Why didnt you take one of those pills? Yang Dingtian asked. The old man was still sitting in an upright position with his eyes closed. He ignored the young man and let the snow cover him, turning into a snowman once again. Afterwards, no matter what Yang Dingtian said, he never responded. Yang Dingtian was filled with heat energy and didnt know what to do. The entire cave was just that big, so he simply danced in the heavy snow while waving his fists in the air. It was a complete mess. The snow was getting heavier and heavier. In just half a day, the snow had piled up about two feet higher and constantly threatened to completely bury the old man. Since this was the case, Yang Dingtian would go over and brush the snow off the old man every half an hour. The snow is so heavy and piles up way too quickly. Im afraid that after only a few years, the entire cave will be entirely filled with it, Yang Dingtian thought. Suddenly, he grew extremely excited, rushed to the old man, and said, Old man, old man, Ive found a way to get out of here. Ive found a way to get out of here. However, there was still no response from the old man. In fact, Yang Dingtian did think of a way to get out of the cave. He thought that he could use the snow to construct steps by sticking it against the cavern walls. As the cave is roughly a few kilometers deep, he would need to build around ten thousand steps to reach the top. Yang Dingtian started pressing the snow into snow bricks each a foot long and half a foot wide. Then, he pressed the snow bricks against one of the ice cave walls. He then used his own body to melt the snow bricks into water, which would then freeze into ice. Each snow brick would transform into a small ice brick firmly attached to the wall. After spending exactly an hour, Yang Dingtian successfully built the first step, which rose half a meter high from the ground. Yang Dingtian climbed onto it. Just as he expected, it could bear the weight of a person without breaking. Then, Yang Dingtian started making the second step. The second step was placed thirty centimeters higher and thirty centimeters in front of the first step. The steps would be arranged to make a slope in order to reach the top. If he built it vertically, it would be impossible to walk on it. Ten hours later, Yang Dingtian had only managed to make 10 ice steps even though he put in a great deal of hard work. He was so exhausted that he just sat down and fell asleep. After he woke up later, he went straight back to work. Ten days passed. Yang Dingtian had already built over 120 ice steps. The highest step only reached 40 meters above the cave floor. During these ten days, the old man had continued sitting still and keeping his eyes closed without uttering a single word. In contrast, Yang Dingtian spent every waking minute and second constructing ice steps until he was exhausted. He would then lie down on the snow, sleep, and resume once he woke up. However, after a certain point, Yang Dingtian could no longer continue. The heavy snow had stopped falling a day after he began, and the 120 ice steps he had built thus far already used up all of the snow in the cave. If he wished to continue making steps, he would have to wait for the next snowfall. Besides, the energy that Yang Dingtian had gotten from the pill had already been completely used up. His body began to feel the cold again as he no longer had any energy left. Yang Dingtian looked up at the sky, praying for gloomy skies and for the snow to fall like never before. Unfortunately, it was a sunny day and there wasnt even a single cloud in the sky. The old man suddenly opened his eyes for the first time in the past ten days. He glanced at the steps made by Yang Dingtian and looked at him. Yang Dingtian burst with excitement. Looking at the ice steps he built by himself, he said excitedly, Look, old man! This is the stairs that Ive built. We will be able to escape real soon. Dont worry. My stairs are very solid, and Ill carry you out by using them. Just as before, the old mans face was expressionless, not to mention any sign of appreciation. He then closed his eyes once again as if he hadnt seen anything. However, he took a pill out of his sleeves and threw it to Yang Dingtian. It was the same fiery red pill. Yang Dingtian quickly picked it up and put it in his mouth. Suddenly, his entire body began to feel the burning sensation again filling him with endless energy. There was a strong desire to shout out loud, but he was afraid that he might annoy the old man. Thus, he ended up simply punching with his fists to vent all the energy in his body. The pill was just amazing. Such a magical thing was nowhere to be found on Earth. It should be extremely precious, perhaps worth over ten thousand gold pieces. With this pill, Yang Dingtian was filled with energy even without consuming food for dozens of days. Although the pill was precious, Yang Dingtian did not even have the slightest bit of intention to steal it. After taking the pill, Yang Dingtian had so much energy in him that he couldnt vent it all out. He was longing for more snow now. As soon as it snowed, he would be able to continue building the stairs and leave his horrifying place faster. At last, either God seemed to hear Yang Dingtians prayer or it might have been just a coincidence of winter. On the fifth day after Yang Dingtian took the pill, it started snowing. Though the snowfall wasnt as heavy as the previous one, it wasnt small either. Yang Dingtian began to scream out of excitement. He started making snow bricks without even waiting for the snow to pile up. Suddenly, the old mans body moved a little, and the snow on his body fell off. The old man opened his eyes and waved at Yang Dingtian. He then opened his mouth and said something. Though Yang Dingtian still couldnt understand the words, he somehow knew that they meant just go ahead. Yang Dingtian rushed over and said. Look, old man! Its snowing again. We can leave this place in no time. The old man smiled a little. This was the first time in the past half month that the old man smiled. Then, the old man wrote something on the snow with his finger. It was a word that Yang Dingtian didnt know. Then, the old man read it out loud and pointed at himself. Yang Dingtian couldnt hold in his excitement and asked, Old man, can you teach me the words and languages used in this world? The old man couldnt understand what Yang Dingtian was saying. He pointed at the word on the snow and read it out loud again. Then, he pointed at himself again. The word you wrote should mean I right? Yang Dingtian asked. Then, he wrote the word for I on the snow, read it out loud, and pointed at himself. I... The old man listened closely and surprisingly repeated the pronunciation accurately. Then, he pointed at the word written on the snow and then pointed at himself. Finally, he used his finger to write the word I. Yang Dingtian was so shocked that he was speechless. This old man was way too amazing. He had only listened and looked at it once but was already able to read and write the word. Yang Dingtians writing was considered decent, but he didnt expect that the word written by the old man for the first time would look even nicer than his. After that, the old man wrote the word that he had previously written on the snow before reading it and pointing at himself. Yang Dingtian hurriedly read the word and then wrote the same word in the snow again. This was the I word in this world. Yang Dingtians pronunciation and writing were pretty accurate. The old man smiled and nodded. Then, he wrote another word on the snow, read it out loud, and pointed at Yang Dingtian. This time, what he wrote should be the you word of this world. Chapter 4: The Mysterious Old Man (Part 2) Chapter 4: The Mysterious Old Man (Part 2)Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales This time, the word written should have been the you word of this world. Yang Dingtian followed after the old man, repeated the word, and once again wrote it in the snow. He wrote the you word, read it out loud, and pointed at the old man. The old man mastered languages very quickly. He could read and write accurately and was even more proficient than Yang Dingtian. They continued with the words for eyes, nose, mouth, hair, skin, flesh, blood veins, tendons, stomach, leg, heavy snow, ice, stares, sky, and many others. Yang Dingtian was already highly intelligent, but the old man was even more so. After spending dozens of hours until the snow had stopped falling, both of them had learned much of each others language and words. The old man taught Yang Dingtian a total of 189 words and 50 terms. After he finished learning, the old man even used Chinese to test Yang Dingtian. For example, the old man pointed at the cloud in the sky and said cloud in Chinese. Then, Yang Dingtian had to write the cloud word of this world and pronounce it. If Yang Dingtian got it correct, the old man would smile; if Yang Dingtian got it wrong, the old man would directly slap him in the face. His slap was really painful, but it seemed like the old man was in more pain. This was because his broken bones had not recovered yet. There was one time when he slapped Yang Dingtian but vomited lots of blood. Therefore, Yang Dingtian dared not to make any more mistakes, and even if he did, he would instantly slap himself and not allow the old man to slap him. What was more, he even hit himself harder than the old man had. Sometimes, his face would swell instantly or even bleed.. Throughout the practice session, the old man did not even sympathize with him even once. Once Yang Dingtian made a mistake, the old man would give him a piercing gaze. S?a??h th? N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. At the end of the whole learning process, the old man reached out his hand and touched Yang Dingtians swollen face. Yang Dingtians heart instantly melted. You go and continue building the ice stairs! The old man spoke in Chinese. Then, he closed his eyes and returned to his meditative state. Do you want to eat something? Yang Dingtian asked. However, the old man ignored him even though he now understood what Yang Dingtian was saying. Yang Dingtian smiled and then gently tidied up the old mans clothes. He used a comb to fix his hair before resuming his construction of ice steps. ...... Just like that, time passed day by day. Most of the time, the old man was meditating in an upright position. Every ten days, he would give Yang Dingtian a fiery red pill to sustain his life and energy. Only when it began to snow would he open his eyes and teach Yang Dingtian the language and words used in this world. At the same time, he would also learn Chinese from Yang Dingtian through writing on the snow. When the snow stopped, both of them would stop learning as well. The old man would continue his meditation, and Yang Dingtian would continue building his ice stairs. Time went day by day. The stairs built by the ice steps became taller and taller with each passing day. Yang Dingtians comprehension of this worlds language had grown and grown. The extremely clever old man had almost completely mastered Chinese. Once he had mastered the rules and essence of Chinese, he could fully integrate it and learn by himself. As a result, towards the end, he was even able to point out some of Yang Dingtians Chinese mistakes. The old mans intelligence truly surprised Yang Dingtian. However, Yang Dingtians progress in the study of this worlds language was gradually becoming slower and slower. At first, he could learn hundreds of words in just ten hours, but now, his rate of study had slowed dramatically. His slow progress was because he had transmigrated to a completely mysterious world of Kung Fu. Yang Dingtian had never heard of many of the terms related to this topic as it was too abstract for him. In order for Yang Dingtian to truly master the language, the old man even translated all those terms and concepts into Chinese before teaching it all to him. This unfamiliarity was one of the reasons Yang Dingtian, who had not been beaten for some time, started getting beaten again. Each time he took lessons, he ended up beating himself till his face looked as swollen as a pigs. The old man was still harsh towards him. His gaze was still very sharp. However, when Yang Dingtian turned away from the old man, the latter looked at him with a gentle and pitying gaze. Time passed by slowly.... One month, two months, three months..... Half a year passed by. Winter passed by. The days when snow fell became rarer and rarer. However, the ice stairs were only half done! The weather became warmer and warmer. Yang Dingtian had already almost mastered the languages and words of this world. He had gained sufficient understanding of this world that he could now communicate using its language. This world was called the Chaotic Mainland! The land surface area was much larger than that of Earth. The population here was similarly larger. This was a completely different world that revolved around Kung Fu. Xuan Energy formed the worlds basic foundation. Everyone had different Xuan veins. The highly talented ones would be able to master a higher level of Kung Fu. The less talented ones could only master a lower level. It could be said that the Chaotic Mainland was a world of martial arts. Other than those who have mastered good martial arts, everyone else was stuck at the bottom of societys pyramid. Thus, the only way to become powerful and respected in society was to learn martial arts. The pill that Yang Dingtian had been regularly consuming was called the Flame Pill. It was made from dozens of valuable herbs mixed with the blood of dozens of fire-nature mysterious beasts. It was concocted using extraordinary flames and was worth millions. Normally, people took it to improve their martial arts, but Yang Dingtian had been taking it as his meal. Time passed day by day, Yang Dingtian had a much better understanding of this world now. However, he still knew nothing about the old man. Who was he? Why was he be trapped here? And why was his body so exhausted? All of these questions were still unknowns, but his relationship with the old man had become deeper and deeper over the past months. Yang Dingtian had become attached to the old man and treated him like family now. ******************** Each time he took the Flame Pills, Yang Dingtian felt that he was filled with an unlimited supply of energy. Thus, whenever he couldnt make ice bricks, he would simply punch around with his fists to vent the bursting energy in his body. One day, the old man drew a punching guide in the form of graphic figures in the snow. This punching style was called Zhen Yang Punch, and there were a total of five techniques. Each technique had over ten different steps. This Zhen Yang punching style looked easy. Yang Dingtian only studied it three or four times before almost correctly displaying the first technique. Just as he was beginning to feel proud of himself, he saw the old man looking cold again. Then, the old man wrote on the snow: Looks like punching practice but is actually practice related to inner energy, also known as Energy. The punch chooses the direction while the Energy is used to attack. Only once you can feel the Xuan Energy flowing throughout your body can you be considered to have fully mastered this technique. Then, the old man closed his eyes and no longer paid attention to him. As a result, Yang Dingtian immediately started practice punching over and over again. He performed almost a thousand repetitions. However, while he still couldnt feel the Energy, he still became exhausted, feeling like his bones were about to fall apart. He soon fell asleep. When he woke up the next day, he saw that the old man had already opened his eyes. There were hundreds of words clearly written in the snow. These guidelines are called the heaven and earth tips, and they form the most basic foundation for practicing Energy. You need to follow these methods to practice every morning. The old man said, You have almost mastered this worlds language, but a more profound method to practice Energy would involve many acupoints in the human body. Such a method would require books and graphics to use as references. But, since you dont understand those topics yet, Im unable to teach you the method of practicing Energy as you would easily turn into a devil. These tips are only practiced while sitting and are not dangerous at all. When you wake up each morning, practice Energy for an hour and then practice the Zhen Yang punching style for another three hours. When youre able to feel the Energy during punching practice, let me know and I will teach you the second technique, the old man had written. Yes! Yang Dingtian said. The old man closed his eyes again and resumed his meditations. During this past half year, the old man spent most of his time meditating or sleeping, acting as if his life was shortened each time he spoke. Throughout this period, Yang Dingtian had been regularly taking Flame Pills, while the old man had not consumed anything at all. He did not even drink any water, nor did he pee or shit at all. Yang Dingtian was really shocked about all this. Though the old man had never revealed his identity, judging from the number of Flame Pills that the old man had, Yang Dingtian speculated that he was definitely not an ordinary person. Yang Dingtian cleared away all of his thoughts and started following the old mans tips. He sat upright, closed his eyes, and practiced his Energy. These tips had only a few hundred words. However, they covered dozens of topics: nose and tongue movements, breathing techniques, hand gestures, postures that involved folding both legs, ways to find the rhythm. All of these tips had to be followed accurately with no room for mistakes. After Yang Dingtian had successfully practiced dozens of these tips, a week had already passed. At the end of that week, Yang Dingtian suddenly felt a burning and itchy sensation in his lower abdomen as if a rat were jumping around inside. His body couldnt hold it in, and he made some noise. Whats wrong? The old man opened his eyes. Its like there is a rat in my stomach fiercely jumping around, Yang Dingtian said. The old mans facial expression changed. As if he didnt believe it, he commented, Thats fast. Then, the old man sighed. When you compare one person to another, it will only cause frustration! You can just continue. Also, dont be too surprised if anything happens later on. Yes! Yang Dingtian replied. He then continued practicing, following the tips to train his Energy. Each cycle took about three minutes. After each cycle, the rat in his lower abdomen would jump around for a while but would disappear just as Yang Dingtian was about to find it. The entire process resembled the game of hide and seek. Throughout the process, Yang Dingtian looked as if he had just received a new toy. He found it fun and not tiring at all. It could be said that the simplest heaven and earth tips had led him to completely immerse himself in this strange and mysterious world. After an hour, Yang Ding wasnt satisfied and made one last attempt. Yeah... The little rat really seemed like it emerged from his lower abdomen before jumping around nonstop. How is it? The old man asked with his eyes open. Yang Dingtian said, That rat came out and has been jumping nonstop in my stomach. The old man was shocked and shook his head again. When you compare one person to another, it will only cause frustration! What that he did not tell Yang Dingtian was that most of the people who practiced according to these tips, even the talented ones, would need around a month to feel a rat inside them. Whats more, they needed at least half a year to lead the rat out into their lower abdomen. The process just now is called Qi Gathering, in which your body absorbs the energy of the heaven and earth. Then, you gather it in your belly from your countless veins. That jumping rat that you were feeling was actually your Xuan Energy, said the old man. I have Xuan Energy already? Yang Dingtian asked excitedly. ******************** Chapter 5: First Touch in Martial Art Chapter 5: First Touch in Martial ArtTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales I have Xuan Energy already? Yang Dingtian asked excitedly. Go and practice punching for three hours. The old man said, The most important thing when practicing punching is not the motion but how you interact with the Xuan Energy in your abdomen. You need to merge your punch and Xuan Energy and learn how to control the Xuan Energy in your abdomen. You must learn how to not only gather the Xuan Energy from your veins to the Sea of Energy in your abdomen but also learn how to spread the Xuan Energy in your Sea of Energy throughout all your veins. Only then will this punch be useful in a fight. (Note: Sea of Energy is a place between the navel and the pubic bone, on the middle line. It is an area 2 fingers wide that is used to store Xuan energy.) What type of interaction? Yang Dingtian asked. The old man said, Go and feel it. After saying that, the old man closed his eyes again. Yang Dingtian started practicing the first technique of Zhen Yang Punch. In the beginning, he practiced with his eyes wide open to avoid making any mistakes. However, he didnt feel any reaction from the Xuan Energy in the Sea of Energy in his lower abdomen. After practicing another ten times, he still perceived no response from the Xuan Energy. Thus, Yang Dingtian tried to interact with the Energy with his eyes closed, not caring whether his moves were accurate or not. The results were surprising. The rat inside him moved slightly. However, it was only a small movement. The attractive force exerted by Yang Dingtian wasnt strong enough and couldnt draw the energy throughout his veins. Yang Dingtian continued practicing with his eyes closed and tried very hard to feel and get closer to the rat. However, contrary to expectations, the more he tried to get closer to it, the more reserved it became. At first, it had moved slightly. Now, it just ignored him and no longer responded. Thus, Yang Dingtian opened his eyes again and practiced the moves precisely dozens of times, ignoring the small Xuan Energy rat. Then, he practiced with his eyes closed again, trying to feel the small Xuan Energy rat. Surprisingly, just as he started practicing with his eyes closed and using his heart to feel the small rat, the rat started jumping so aggressively that it almost spread throughout his veins to all parts of his body. Yang Dingtian was extremely happy as this small Xuan Energy rat felt like a real rat. It was sometimes close and sometimes far. When you try to get closer to it, it ignores you; when you ignore it, it comes right to you. Yang Dingtian immediately started practicing again with his eyes closed to feel the Xuan Energy. This world of martial arts was too wonderful. Yang Dingtian freely embraced it and was becoming addicted. Thats all for today. Dont practice anymore, the old man said. But, that rat jumped aggressively. Im already about to succeed, Yang Dingtian said. It will not jump into your veins again since it just jumped aggressively. You have already achieved the greatest result for the day. The old man said, Stop practicing or there will be regression instead. Ai! When you compare one person to another, it will only cause frustration. The old man sighed and then slowly closed his eyes. Yang Dingtian didnt believe him and continued practicing in secret. However, it turned out that the old man was correct. Instead of improving, he experienced a huge regression in results. The rat slowly became less active, and eventually, it just rested inside him without moving at all. On the second day, Yang Dingtian continued practicing Energy for an hour. He felt that the small rat had grown slightly bigger and had become more active as well. However, in the following three hours when he practiced Zhen Yang punch style, although the rat had been jumping actively, he still failed to summon the Energy out of it. It was as if the small rat was way too drawn to the Energy that it couldnt bear to go out. The third day, fourth day, fifth day! Finally, Yang Dingtian managed to lead the small rat out of the Sea of Energy in his lower abdomen. It felt just as real as a living rat running around his body and couldnt be completely controlled. Each area of his body the rat entered would become hot and would feel like it was bulging. Yang Dingtian once again started making a ruckus. The old man opened his eyes once again. When he saw how Yang Dingtian was simply running around, he sighed and shook his head. Again, he muttered, When you compare one person to another, it will only cause frustration. While other people would need to practice for three months before they were able to draw the Xuan Energy from the Sea of Energy into the veins, Yang Dingtian had accomplished it in only five days. Sit down and adjust your breathing. The Xuan Energy will eventually return to the Sea of Energy by itself. The old man continued, The first technique of Zhen Yang Punch is the ability to vent Energy. Gather the Xuan Energy from your veins and send it to the abdomen bit by bit until there is a lot. This process makes your Xuan Energy more powerful. Then, you draw this Xuan Energy out of your Sea of Energy and back through your veins. Thats why you are considered to have completed the first technique. The old man said, The second technique teaches you how to guide and control this Xuan Energy. It will teach you when to hold back, when to let it out, and how to send the Xuan Energy anywhere as required. The third technique teaches you how to divide Xuan Energy as you shouldnt use all of your Xuan Energy whenever you fight someone. Sometimes, you are only teaching someone a lesson and are not intending to kill him. You would only release your Energy bit by bit. The fourth technique teaches you how to draw the Xuan Energy out of your abdomen to attack your enemy. But, this time, you would be able to stop the Xuan Energy halfway through your veins, storing it to be released later. The fifth technique teaches you how to quickly gather new Xuan Energy from all parts of your veins while simultaneously using Xuan Energy to attack. Thus, you would be able to prepare for the next attack while launching the current one. The fifth technique is the most important technique, Yang Dingtian affirmed. Thats right. The fifth technique is the most important and also the hardest one to master. The old man said, The veins in the human body are like a creek and Xuan Energy is like the water flowing in it. The Energy in the lower abdomen is like the sea. The creek flows into a small river. The small river then flows into a big river. The big river finally flows into the ocean. Xuan Energy comes from heaven and earth. Every human pore and every inch of this entire world absorbs Xuan Energy. When Xuan Energy in the Sea of Energy is released, the Xuan Energy in the veins can gather in the Sea of Energy more quickly. At the same time, every inch of the body begins to absorb Xuan Energy from heaven and earth. The whole process is endless as it forms a cycle. However, there are differences in speed. For example, if you were to release all your Xuan Energy in one punch, then it would take more than two minutes for your Xuan Energy to gather again. During that period, someone could kill you ten times over. Next, the old man began to draw the second, third, fourth and fifth techniques of Zhen Yang Punch in the snow. Summer is about to arrive. Snowy weather will eventually cease to come. Hence, you must be able to memorize all of these remaining techniques. Basically, I will not be opening my eyes anymore in the following days. You need to practice by yourself and keep my words in mind. Practice Energy for an hour and then practice punching for three hours, the old man instructed. Are you not going to guide me anymore? Yang Dingtian asked. Zhen Yang Punch style and The Art of Heaven and Earth are both enlightenment martial arts. They form the simplest foundation, which is also the most difficult and important one. A martial artist must practice both Zhen Yang Punch and The Art of Heaven and Earth to enter the next phase of martial arts practice. Teachers will not provide guidance as there is no possible guidance to give. Every martial artist has different feelings and sentiments. Even their methods of interaction with Xuan Energy vary. Any guidance would be of no help and would instead lead the martial artist down the wrong path. Which is why Zhen Yang Punch and The Art of Heaven and Earth are the foundation which every martial artist must master. It could even be said that, by observing the practice of Zhen Yang Punch and The Art of Heaven and Earth alone, one could discern the highest attainments a martial artist would achieve in his entire lifetime. The old man continued, Thats why this is a period of enlightenment for us to see our true natures. After learning the importance of both Zhen Yang Punch and The Art of Heaven and Earth, Yang Dingtian asked, Would those who are able to master The Art of Heaven and Earth and Zhen Yang Punch faster have higher achievements in the future? Thats true for most people, but there are also exceptions. The key is to discern the martial artists understanding and feelings towards Xuan Energy during this enlightenment period, as well as his temperament and suitability. These are the criteria with which one could accurately predict a martial artists future. The old man continued, But of course, this is all related to Xuan Energy. A martial artist that is talented is born with the ability to absorb Xuan Energy from heaven and earth better. With a larger Sea of Energy, he will naturally have greater control over Xuan Energy. In conclusion, under similar conditions, seventy percent of a martial artists achievements depend on his Xuan veins, while the other thirty percent depend on his nature. The old man said, Of course, when ones talent and Xuan veins are equal in level, ones nature should be roughly the same as well. Then, seventy percent would depend on ones mentor, precious items and weapons, while thirty percent would depend on random opportunities. Of course, all of it ultimately depends on Xuan veins. What about my Xuan veins? Yang Dingtian quickly asked. The old man showed a weird expression and closed his eyes again. Yang Dingtian instantly became despondent. What did the old mans expression mean? Could it be that I had no talent? That shouldnt be the case, right? Yang Dingtian was still a person with high self-confidence who believed that he would excel in almost everything. Thus, he continued practicing assiduously! He merely spent five days to master the first technique. However, for the second technique, he spent five days to learn the first part. He was able to control his Xuan Energy when punching. When he was able to use the Energy to blow the snow apart into smaller pieces, Yang Dingtian became even more excited. He was getting more and more addicted to this mysterious world of martial arts. Then, continuing his practice on the second technique, he learned how to hold back, how to release, and also how to control the movement of Xuan Energy. He spent a total of 25 days to master these exercises. All of his progress meant that he had spent a total of 40 days to master the second technique, which was eight times as much time as hed spent on the first technique. This apparently slow progress made him slightly sad and caused him to slightly doubt his own talent. Of course, if the old man had known of his rate of progress, he would have definitely muttered, When you compare one person to another, it will only cause frustration. The reality was that even those extremely talented individuals needed almost half a year to master the second technique. Continuing with the third technique, Yang Dingtian became even more depressed as he needed to spend two months to master it. s?a??h th? ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. During this entire period, the old man did not open his eyes even a single time. He had already passed all of the red Flame Pills to Yang Dingtian to consume every fifteen days. Other than practicing Energy and Zhen Yang Punch, he would make ice bricks whenever it snowed. As the small Xuan Energy rat grew bigger and bigger, he seemed to also gain a greater and greater resistance to the cold. He was also getting stronger, and his body was becoming much lighter and more agile. Once Yang Dingtian completed the third technique, winter had already ended and it was well into the second half of summer. Since it was extremely cold in the north, it was still snowing during the summer. Its only the frequency and volume of snowfall that had decreased. Hence, the progress of the ice stairs Yang Dingtian was building ground to a slow crawl. Therefore, Yang Dingtian wished that summer would end soon and that winter would come! Yang Dingtian continued practicing Zhen Yang Punch. The first technique only took him five days to master, while the second technique took him forty days. He needed two months for the third technique. His accomplishments fully prepared him for tackling the fourth technique. He even set a four-month deadline for himself. However, it turned out that he only needed a mere three days to master the fourth technique, which made him extremely happy. At this point, he hoped that the old man would open his eyes and praise him or even react in shock towards his progress. However, the old man still kept his eyes closed, which made Yang Dingtian slightly sad. He felt like someone who had gotten good results but didnt get praised by his parents. Chapter 6: Inheriting the position of Master Chapter 6: Inheriting the position of MasterTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales However, the old man still kept his eyes closed, which made Yang Dingtian slightly sad. He felt like someone who had gotten good results but didnt get praised by his parents. When he started practicing the fifth technique, reality finally completely wiped away Yang Dingtians arrogance. The reason was that his progress had become incredibly slow. The fifth technique was the most important technique. He needed to first release his Xuan Energy when he punched. At the same time, the veins in his body must gather sufficient Xuan Energy from his Sea of Energy to support the next attack. He must be able to perform both tasks simultaneously at least last three times in a row. Three months passed, and Yang Dingtian didnt even manage to perform even one combination. He needed half a minute to gather Xuan Energy again after he threw out a punch. Such slow progression left him somewhat despairing. However, Yang Dingtian was definitely the type of person who became more determined when he encountered an obstacle. As a result, he ended up practicing even more desperately. Every day after he finished his three-hour practice, he would continue furiously contemplating the technique. He thought about it even in his dreams. Three months, four months..... The summer of this world ended. Autumn had also come and gone. It was winter once again. (The extreme cold up north is caused by a perpetual winter. However, to differentiate the seasons, the period that is the least cold is known as summer. The period of extreme cold is known as winter.) During this cold winter, there were big snowstorms one after another. The large amount of snow caused Yang Dingtian to temporarily shift his focus away from Zhen Yang Punch. Instead, he would work on his ice stairs after his daily practice. The reason for this change was that there was one thing more important than practicing martial arts, which was to escape this horrible place with the old man as soon as possible. Finally, after the tenth heavy snowstorm, Yang Dingtians snow stairs was 99.99% complete. He was only a few dozen steps away from the top, which was only three to four meters away. Yang Dingtian needed one more snowstorm to complete the ice stairs that he had been building for exactly a year. After constructing over ten thousand ice steps, he could finally leave this horrible place with the old man. He had been trapped in this ice cave for more than a year. Soon, he would be able to escape. ************************ As Yang Dingtian was sleeping soundly, he suddenly felt a coldness on his face and opened his eyes immediately. As expected, it was snowing. What was more, the snowfall was extremely heavy. This time, he had enough snow to build the remaining few dozen ice steps. Yang Dingtian did not start building immediately. Instead, he first practiced the heaven and earth tips for an hour before then practicing the fifth technique of Zhen Yang Punch for three hours. Now, after he launched an attack with Xuan Energy, his entire body only needed 15 seconds to gather Xuan Energy for the next attack. He still couldnt complete one combination, not to mention three in succession. At the moment, Yang Dingtian had put aside all his fantasies and was prepared to fight a lasting war to master this technique. But......it seemed like God was joking with him. This morning, he practiced the fifth technique of Zhen Yang Punch as usual. Ping... The punch that he threw broke the snow in front of him. Ping... Ping... Ping... ..... Without any warning, Yang Dingtian continuously threw ten waves of Xuan Energy attacks. Even he himself did not immediately realize that each strike was thrown one after another without any delay in between. The veins in his entire body had instantly gathered new Xuan Energy during each strike. After realizing what had happened, Yang Dingtian was completely stunned. How, how can this be? He had spent four months and couldnt even complete even one-third of the technique. He was even prepared to spend one or two more years to master it. He did not expect to suddenly be able to complete the fifth move. Moreover, the minimum requirement was three repetitions, but he had managed to do ten. S?a??h the N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian was afraid that he was either hallucinating or had only done it by chance. Hence, he tried the fifth technique of Zhen Yang Punch again. Indeed, he could now easily throw dozens of Xuan Energy attacks. Only after the thirteenth wave did the veins in his body need time to gather Xuan Energy again. Yang Dingtian was so stunned that he even forgot to cheer. At this moment, the old man suddenly opened his eyes and said, Yes, martial arts are indeed mysterious. They will often leave you in despair but will also occasionally give you unforeseen pleasant surprises. Of course, all these surprises rely on ones own understanding and talents. Then, the old man repeated a mantra, When you compare one person to another, it will only cause frustration! Yang Dingtian looked at his own fists before starting to dance and punching the snow. He said, Grandfather, Ive finished practicing Zhen Yang Punch. And Im going to finish my ice stairs in no time. We will be able to escape. We can escape already.... Grandfather, we can get out already....., Yang Dingtian shouted, unable to contain his excitement. Usually, he wouldnt yell in this manner due to complaints from the old man after a few previous incidents. However, this time he was so excited that he couldnt resist. After realizing what hed done, he immediately shut his mouth and waited for the old man to scold him. The old man slowly opened his eyes, looked at the heavy snow, and then looked at the overexcited Yang Dingtian. However, unlike in the past, he smiled a little, sighed, and said, This day has finally come. Yes, we can finally get out, Yang Dingtian said excitedly. Son, sit down, the old man said. Yang Dingtian quickly sat down beside the old man and asked, Then, what are we learning today? We wont be learning anything today. The old man smiled and said, Havent you been wanting to know who I am? Why I was trapped here? Even though you never asked before. Yang Dingtian was stunned for a moment and then nodded. Its about time. If I dont tell you now, I wont have another chance, The old man said while smiling. Im called Dongfang Niemie, the head of the Yin Yang Sect. Although Yang Dingtian didnt know whether the Yin Yang Sect was large or small, the old man was still the head of a sect. Yang Dingtian instantly asked, Then, were you extremely powerful before all this? Dongfang Niemie was a little stunned. Then, he smiled and said, Oh, quite powerful. He continued, Youre really weird. If I was that powerful, how would I have ended up like this? Yang Dingtian nodded. Son, I couldnt tell you about that matter right now. You wouldnt benefit from knowing that secret since you are still not that capable. It might instead even harm you. The old man continued, The fact that I am trapped here many kilometers below the surface is itself the greatest secret in this world. At first, I thought I would be trapped here in this ice cave for the rest of my life, but who would have thought that someone like you would appear before me, arriving from another world? Our meeting was really fate! Thats why, when you rescued me from the icicle, I kept asking whether you were sent by my enemies and what evil you were plotting. However, no matter how clever I am, I never would have guessed that you came from another world. The realm that I couldnt reach, you can reach. The enemies that I couldnt defeat, you can defeat! Because you have the Nine Yang Xuan Veins. Nine Yang Xuan Veins? The Taoist Priest on Earth had said that Yang Dingtian had the Nine Yang body. Didnt you asked me before about your Xuan Vein talent? The old man smiled and said, Your Xuan Vein talent is one in hundreds of millions and difficult to find even once a hundred years! The Nine Yang body may be worthless in your world and will even bring endless troubles. However, in this world, it is something that only appears in tales. A woman with a Nine Yin body could not be found even once a millennium. A man with a Nine Yang body similarly could not be found even once a millennium. The old man said, When you practiced the Heaven and Earth tips and Zheng Yang Punch enlightenment martial arts, I estimated your highest possible achievements. However, your performance was far beyond my imagination. The martial artists in this world start practicing the enlightenment martial arts even before the ages of seven or eight. Those who are talented would need at least three to four years to complete the enlightenment period, but you only spent seven months and eighteen days, the old man lectured. Yang Dingtian said, But, they are only seven or eight years old. I am over twenty and shouldnt be proud to have outdone kids. It doesnt work like that. The later you go through the period of enlightenment, the more you lose as progress is slower. The old man laughed. You started enlightenment in your twenties. What youve accomplished is already a complete miracle. Son, I am already very talented, but I still had less potential than you have now. The old man continued, At first, I thought that my dream was doomed to remain a dream. However, God gave me such a talented person: you. Ive lost in this lifetime. I was defeated and am already at the stage where being dead is better than being alive. However, my dream and efforts can be entrusted to you. Son! The old man stared at Yang Dingtian and asked, Are you willing to accept me as your master? Are you willing to inherit my legacy? Before Yang Dingtian even truly understood what the old man had said, he automatically responded, Of course, of course, Im willing to. In this world, you are the only one that is like family to me. You are the closest person to me here. Then kneel down! Dongfang Niemie ordered. Yang Dingtian stood up, knelt in front of the old man, and kowtowed three times with his head hitting the ground lightly each time. Good, good! From today onwards, you are Dongfang Niemies only disciple. Henceforth, you are the twenty-ninth head of the Yin Yang Sect. Dongfang Niemie opened his palm to reveal two flaming fireballs circling his fingers. They then solidified into a ring on his ring finger. It was an extremely beautiful ring, its appearance like that of two flames hugging each other. One flame was red while the other was ice blue. Dongfang Niemie took off the ring and slid it onto Yang Dingtians ring finger. The moment the ring settled, the flames vanished. Dongfang Niemie said, This is the Yin Yang Sect Heads ring. Currently, it remains hidden on your finger. Only when you become strong and capable enough will it reappear. At that moment, you will truly become the Head of the Yin Yang Sect. Yang Dingtian was frightened and said, Grandfather.... Oh Master, how can I be the Head? Im so weak. Every Head of the Yin Yang Sect was the disciple of the previous Head. So if you dont want to be the Head, who will? Dongfang Niemie continued, After you reach the Yin Yang Sect, dont announce my death for the time being. Let everyone think that I am still the Head of the Yin Yang Sect. Ten to twenty years later, when youve become strong enough, when the flame ring has reappeared on your finger, only then can you announce my death to the world and become the next Yin Yang Sect Head. Dongfang Niemie unclasped something from around his neck. It was a fiery red jade carved into the shape of a flame. The item was extremely beautiful. This is a token representing the love between me and my wife. This accessory is called A Moth Flies To The Flame. My wife and I each have half of the complete piece. My half is the flame, while her half is the moth. You show this to her and she will trust you unconditionally. When my wife combines this flame accessory with the moth accessory, she will be able to see the will I wrote for her.... **** Chapter 7: Betrothing Beloved Daughter Chapter 7: Betrothing Beloved DaughterTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Will? Yang Dingtian was shocked and asked, Master, are you not leaving with me? Dont worry. Wait till I finish talking, Dongfang Niemie said seriously. Yes! Yang Dingtian eyes turned hot from tears that were about to fall. Ill tell my wife to make you the next Yin Yang Sect Head through my will. I will ask her to use all of our sect resources to train you and turn you into an expert in no time. Thus, you will be able to take over the entire Yin Yang Sect as soon as possible. Besides, I will also betroth my daughter to you through the will. Her name is Dongfang Bingling. Shes a few months younger than you, and you two are a perfect match. She is my only daughter and is as precious as a pearl to me. You are a good boy, and you are also smart enough. I can rest assured betrothing her to you. Dongfang Niemie laughed. But, but, what if she doesnt agree? Men and women need feelings to be together. Maybe she already has a man who she loves? Yang Dingtian argued. Dongfang Niemie didnt utter a word and instead pulled Yang Dingtians hand over to the flame accessory. Suddenly, two fireballs emerged from the ring and lit the flame accessory. The flame accessory emitted light and projected an image onto the cold ice wall. It was the image of a girl who looked about ten years old. Although she was only ten, she already looked so beautiful that it was suffocating. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath. He couldnt believe that such a beautiful girl existed. She looked like someone straight out of an artists painting. This was my daughter ten years ago. Shes now your fianc. Now that ten years have passed, I can no longer imagine how beautiful she has become. My wife is already extremely beautiful. Yet, she is even more beautiful than her mom, said Dongfang Niemie. Indeed, the most beautiful woman Yang Dingtian had ever seen before was his girlfriend, Li Bijun. However, this Dongfang Bingling was even more beautiful than her. I am her father. I am her world. She must abide by what I say. Ever since childhood, she would always listen to whatever I said. Most importantly, although she does not have a Nine Yin body, she still has an extraordinary Pure Yin body just like her mother. Ordinary men would not be blessed enough to have her. Only you with the Nine Yang body are a perfect match for her. It is beneficial for your cultivation if the two of you were to get married. Yin and Yang would balance, and training would require less effort. In another three years, if she still hasnt found and slept with a man with strong Xuan veins, she will be burned alive by the Yin fire in her body. For these reasons, if I dont betroth her to you, who shall I betroth her to? Now, will you agree to marry my daughter? asked Dongfang Niemie. Yang Dingtians face turned red, and he nodded. Haha..... Dongfang Niemie declared, Today is the happiest day Ive lived over the past decade. Not only have I found a legend, but Ive also found someone who my daughter can rely on. I can really die in peace now. I would have died ten years ago, but because I was not satisfied, I maintained the last vestiges of my life and awaited a miracle. Who could have known that God would pity me and give you, Yang Dingtian to me? Looking at Dongfang Niemies aging face that had flushed abnormally red, Yang Dingtian replied uneasily, Master. After enduring such a difficult decade, Ive almost forgotten about my previous self. Dongfang Niemie said to Yang Dingtian, My good disciple, in my final moment, I will show you my true self. I will show you the mighty and strong Dongfang Niemie... Suddenly, a miracle happened. It was as if a blue fireball had ignited from within the old mans body. Dongfang Niemies dry and messy hair turned black and shiny. It even fluttered. His old dry skin instantly became tight and smooth. Those gloomy eyes became as scorching hot as flames. In an instant, it was as if Dongfang Niemie had turned ten years younger, transforming from a gloomy old man into a handsome middle-aged man. Even the beggar-like robes that he wore turned into a jade gown covered with flame prints. The flame prints looked so real that they looked like they would emerge from the robe at any moment. This was Dongfang Niemies true face, mighty and arrogant. I was too weak this past year. I couldnt teach you even a single technique. But, I can give you one more precious gift. Ill use the last of my energy to cleanse your veins for you. Dongfang Niemie raised his hand, and Yang Dingtian instantly felt a hot energy envelop him, lifting his entire body into the air. When practicing martial arts, cleansing the veins is of paramount importance. Human veins are like countless rivers, and the Sea of Energy in the lower abdomen is like an ocean. Rivers will flow and eventually gather into the ocean. Xuan Energy is like water. Each time you practice, you add a stream of water to your Sea of Energy and your veins. However, just like rivers and streams in the real world, the veins will accumulate blockage over time, slowing your progress until it halts completely. Cleansing the veins is like clearing river blockage. It will allow a smoother flow of Xuan Energy between the Sea of Energy in the lower abdomen and the veins. A smoother flow makes practicing martial arts much easier, allowing one to make greater progress with less effort. Today, Master will cleanse your veins for you. As for how many layers I will manage to cleanse, that will depend on you. Done with his lecture, Dongfang Niemie exerted a powerful force onto the bottom of Yang Dingtians right foot. ************* Ahh! Its so cold and so hot! Yang Dingtian tried to scream but couldnt make a single sound. Dongfang Niemie practiced the Pure Yang Xuan Li technique, a strange technique that burned like raging fire. When this energy entered ones body, it first burned extremely hot to the point that it threatened to burn one into ashes. However, at the same time, it also felt extremely cold to the point that it threatened to freeze one in solid ice. I have the Pure Yang body and have practiced the art of fire. However, Ive practiced the art to an extreme level. As such, Yang has become Yin, and Yin has become Yang. Flames burn blue at this stage. One can no longer differentiate hot from cold. The flames are simultaneously extremely cold and extremely hot. It took me thirty-nine years of practice to reach this stage. As you have the Nine Yang body, I believe that you only need ten to twenty years to reach the same level. At that time, the flame ring on your finger will reappear, and you can publically announce that you are the Yin Yang Sect Head. S?a??h th? N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. As Dongfang Niemie spoke, a strong force continuously poured through Yang Dingtians foot and moved along his veins. The energy really seemed to cleanse all of his veins without missing a single one. The entire process was extremely painful. It was as if he was being burned by a fire several thousand degrees hot and simultaneously being frozen by ice under a hundred degrees below zero cold. This kind of pain could not be described with words. Compared to the level of pain he was currently experiencing, the pain he felt when he was burned and transmigrated was not even worth mentioning. The powerful Xuan energy cleansed Yang Dingtians veins inch by inch. At first, the energy cleansed around one inch a minute. However, progress soon became slower and slower, while the pain that Yang Dingtian felt got more and more intense. Finally, all of his skin shuddered. Yang Dingtians body turned half red and half blue and took on an extremely strange appearance. Half an hour later! The inhuman pain and suffering had ended. Yang Dingtians entire body was numb. His first vein cleansing had ended. He was still floating in the air, looking like a fish that had been beached and was exposed to the sun. Apart from trying to breathe, he couldnt do anything else. Yet, his entire body felt so refreshed in a way that words couldnt describe. His entire body was covered with greasy black impurities, which were blockages in his veins that had been cleansed by Dongfang Niemie. As a result, even though Yang Dingtians entire body had endured so much pain that it turned numb, he was still filled with such a refreshing feeling. It was as if the wind were blowing through his veins. However, Dongfang Niemie seemed to have turned ten years older. Half of his previously black and purplish long hair had now turned white and grey. I really cant believe it. In merely a quarter of an hour, I managed to cleanse the first layer of your veins. Your cultivation progress now should be three to four times faster than before. The Nine Yang body truly is amazing. The speed at which I could wash the first layer of your veins is ten times faster than normal. I remember having to spend an entire day and night when I washed my veins for the first time. For you, however, the Xuan energy that needed to cleanse the first layer is merely a small fraction of what is needed by others. Such a constitution is way too amazing. At first, I thought that all of my dying Xuan Energy could only wash the first layer for you. I never thought that I would only need to use a little energy to wash the first layer! Now, lets continue. I want to see how amazing Nine Yang Xuan veins are. Dongfang Niemie lifted his palm again. A strong force rushed into Yang Dingtians body from his right palm. The force was four to five times stronger than the first time. The Xuan Energy required to wash the second layer is a few times more than the energy needed to wash the first layer. The deeper one goes, the more Xuan energy is needed. From the third layer onwards, relying on foreign Xuan energy to wash the veins would require a 100 fold increase. As such, doing it that way is almost impossible. At that stage, one could only use ones own Xuan energy to wash the veins. Sure enough, the time needed to wash the second layer was much greater, while the degree of pain increased by several folds. It got so intense that Yang Dingtian could no longer stand it. That cold and fiery pain made him feel as if his body was about to explode. His eyeballs were filled with red blood veins that bulged as if they were about to burst. Those who are weak in martial arts normally have weaker veins and are thus unable to endure the excruciating pain during vein washing. As a result, the deeper these individuals wash their veins, the closer to hell they feel theyre getting. It even becomes dangerous towards the end. Sometimes, the process may fail and your condition would regress one layer. However, that result could already be considered very lucky as many have died when their veins exploded. This is why you must be extremely confident to wash your veins. Otherwise, the chance of survival is extremely small. Even though Yang Dingtian could hear what Dongfang Niemie was saying, all of the words sounded extremely weird. It was as if he was listening to someone talking while underwater. Yang Dingtians entire body was malfunctioning. Time passed minute by minute. Dongfang Niemies Xuan energy moved forward bit by bit, completely cleaning every inch of Yang Dingtians Xuan veins. After exactly five hours, the second layer of washing was complete. Yang Dingtian was floating in the air, unable to move and appearing as if he was already dead. There was a layer of black filth covering him from head to toe. There was a strong wind-like force flowing through his veins, causing his whole body to feel as if it could levitate and fly away. ************* Chapter 8: Goodbye, Master Chapter 8: Goodbye, MasterTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales At this point, Dongfang Niemie had already turned twenty years older. His face was full of wrinkles. His eyes had turned gloomy. His hair had become completely white. Even the clothes he wore no longer looked decent and had become rough-looking. How fascinating! How fascinating! It took me exactly four days and four nights to clean the second layer of my veins, but you only needed slightly more than four hours. Even the Xuan energy you needed was not even one-tenth of the amount I needed. How fascinating! Son, I am facing a difficult choice now. Should I continue cleansing your veins or should I stop here? If I continue to cleansing your veins? There is the possibility that my Xuan energy would prove insufficient. If I lose focus of my Xuan energy during the process, the consequences would be unimaginable. However, your body seems to have yet to reach its limit. If I stop cleansing your veins, I feel like it would be a waste of the large amount of Xuan energy I have left. If I can clean up till the third layer, you wont have to struggle as much in the next few years. Then, you could become our Yin Yang Sect Head sooner. Im just not satisfied stopping like this! Should I continue or should I stop? Of course, Yang Dingtian couldnt answer him as he couldnt even move his fingers. Much less reply, he even couldnt change his expression. God brought you to me to create a miracle. Ill take this risk. Ill do my best. Lets continue. Even if I fail and cause a backlash, I also...... In the end, Dongfang Niemie resolutely began to cleanse Yang Dingtians veins for the third time. During the second cleansing, the pain that Yang Dingtian endured had already pushed him to his limit. Dongfang Niemie had also aged ten years but insisted on continuing with the third round. As the third round began, Yang Dingtian had already lost all sensation in his body. This state signaled extreme danger. He couldnt feel his hands, legs, limbs, or even his face. After losing his vision and hearing, he was left with only a bit of his consciousness floating between the raging fire and extremely cold ice. Dongfang Niemie had noticeably turned older instantly. His skin was crumbling layer by layer. His body was thinning layer by layer. At first, his hair was white but still bright. Now, it had become as dry as desiccated grass. One hour, two hours, three hours...... The sky dimmed and then brightened! Over twenty hours had passed, but the third vein cleansing was still in progress. Dongfang Niemie had become thin and dry like a corpse. Compared to the previous day, he was now even older, and his hair was even drier and whiter. When Yang Dingtian first met him, his hair had looked like dry grass but was still luxuriant. But, at this moment, his white and grey hair had fallen out bit by bit to the point that there were only a few strands left on his head. Meanwhile, his clothes had already completely turned to tatters. As for Yang Dingtian, at first, the impurities expelled from his body were black. Now, the impurities coming out was blood red. In the end, all of his skin and veins cracked, coating his entire body in blood. At this moment, Dongfang Niemies Xuan energy had already reached Yang Dingtians head. The third cleansing was 99% complete. However, Yang Dingtians life was already in danger. If he was injected with any more energy, his blood veins would burst and he would die. The scariest part was Dongfang Niemies Sea of Energy was already empty with not even the tiniest bit of Xuan energy left. Am I really going to fail now? Dongfang Niemie asked God. At first, he had kept a little energy in reserve to protect Yang Dingtians life just in case. However, since he didnt have sufficient Xuan energy to completely cleanse the veins, he used up even that last bit of energy. Even so, he still couldnt complete the last 1%. At this point, there was no doubt that Yang Dingtian would die. At first, I wanted to have a proper farewell, but thats no longer possible, Dongfang Niemie said sadly. Remember, you need to inherit my legacy and carry the Yin Yang Sect forward. Remember, once you become powerful enough, you will be able to learn all of my secrets from the fiery ring. Then, you will discover how I ended up trapped in this ice cave. Once you become powerful enough, finish the path that I couldnt finish. Challenge the established world order and find out if God truly exists! Remember to take care of my wife. Remember to take care of your wife, my daughter........ Goodbye.... Dongfang Niemie let out a scream! Boom.... A fierce flame burst out of his body, and his entire body started to burn. Boom.... The deep ice cave exploded, inundating everything inside with brilliant blue light. It was as if a huge missile had detonated inside the cave. The blue light swept through everything in the cave. The crystal-clear ice cave started to crack. The ice stairs that Yang Dingtian had spent a year to build exploded and broke apart. Boom... Dongfang Niemie completely turned into ashes and vanished. An extremely powerful force pushed Yang Dingtian up into the sky. It not only propelled him out of the cave but also shot him even higher until he was a few kilometers above the ground. After reaching the apex, he started falling back towards the ground. By this point, the deep ice cave had already been shattered and had collapsed. The large amount of snow on the ground had buried the entire cave like a tidal wave. Leave here as quickly as possible. Soon, my enemies will find me. Son, goodbye. Carry my dreams and my will. Continue my journey in this world... Dongfang Niemies final words reverberated in Yang Dingtians mind before he detonated his Sea of Energy. After completing the last 1% of Yang Dingtians vein cleansing, he blew up the entire ice cave and pushed Yang Dingtian out. Dont. Dont.... After bouncing through the snow several times, Yang Dingtian regained the energy to move and speak. He desperately crawled towards the collapsed cave. At this moment, the cave no longer existed and was completely buried under snow. The area around the entrance was also covered by snow. Dongfang Niemie never had any intention of leaving this place alive and had also never planned to use the ice stairs built through Yang Dingtians hard work. He had already planned to use all of his remaining energy to support Yang Dingtian. Detonating his Sea of Energy pushed Yang Dingtian out of the cave and more importantly, wiped away all traces of the young man. Dongfang Niemie did this to prevent his extremely powerful enemy from discovering the young prodigy. Dont..., Yang Dingtian yelled with his shattered voice. The scene where Dongfang Niemie had vanished in the explosion kept replaying in his mind. The old mans arrogant and loving voice kept echoing in his ears. They had kept each other company for more than a year. The old man was the closest person that Yang Dingtian had in this world and was also his only family. In the young mans heart, he was not just a master but also a loving father. Yang Dingtian had put in so much effort to build the ice stairs. Hed constructed over ten thousand ice bricks just because he wanted to carry the old man out. But now... The closest person to him had sacrificed himself for him. Hed helped YangDingtian, bestowed upon him his entire legacy, and even betrothed his most beloved daughter to him. Such kindness was much greater than heaven and earth! The grief he felt was overwhelming, but he had to get over it as quickly as possible. His master had warned him that his enemy would soon come to meet the ten-year appointment. Although Yang Dingtian wanted to know this enemys identity, he was rational enough to know that he should escape before this enemy arrived. Yang Dingtian wiped away his tears, kneeled down, and kowtowed three times. Master, rest in peace. Everything that youve entrusted to me, I will definitely do it all! I will make myself stronger quickly. I will carry the Yin Yang Sect forward. I will finish traversing the path that you could not finish even if I currently dont know what that path is. I will kill this enemy of yours, even though I currently dont know who he or she is. I will make myself strong enough to challenge the established world order and find out if God truly exists. Though I dont understand what you meant by those words. I will take care of your good wife. I will take care of my fianc, your daughter! I will use my life to fulfill my promises to you! Master, goodbye. Rest in peace! *************** The few kilometers around the cave entrance was also covered with snow. No matter which direction he went, all Yang Dingtian could see was an absolute blanket of white snow covering the land. It was as if there was only one color in the world. As such, he couldnt accurately identify north, south, east, or west. Yang Dingtian used the sun in the sky to determine the cardinal directions and headed west. To be honest, he didnt even know where the Yin Yang Sect was. As everything had happened too quickly, Dongfang Niemie didnt get the chance to give him many important details. He needed to find civilization to get directions to the Yin Yang Sect. S?a?ch* Th? N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian headed east towards the closest human settlement. However, it was still more than five thousand kilometers away. The place where Yang Dingtian was currently located was called the Ten Thousands Kilometre Ice Stream, a name that was no exaggeration. This ice-and-snow-covered ground stretched more than ten thousand meters across, whether it be from south to north, or east to west. This world was much larger than Earth, and no one knew where it ended. The ice cave that Dongfang Niemie was trapped in for over ten years was located in the middle of this frozen ground. There was a city five thousand and seven hundred kilometers to the east. There was also a human settlement more than seven thousand kilometers to the west. At the moment, Yang Dingtian only had one Flame Pill left. He stuffed it in his right ear since he was naked and had nowhere else to put it. This pill could probably sustain him for half a month. As such, he needed to traverse five thousand seven hundred kilometers within this half a month. Master, Im leaving...... Chapter 9: Terrible Ordeal Over a Thousand Miles Chapter 9: Terrible Ordeal Over a Thousand MilesTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian took one last look at the place where Dongfang Niemie had vanished before heading east. He was able to move at a much faster speed than he was able to on Earth. His body felt so light. In addition, he felt that he was now many times stronger than he was in his previous life. Though he had only completed the enlightenment period, he had also already washed three layers of his veins. As a result, it felt like there was wind flowing throughout his body. If he were still on Earth, he would have broken every world record. Two hours later, Yang Dingtian had already run about 100 kilometers. Of course, he wasnt running at his top speed. However, if he ran any faster, he would also use up more of the energy in his body. Hence, he must maintain a balance to maximize efficiency. Approximately ten hours later, Yang Dingtian had already run 500 kilometers without feeling the least bit of fatigue. This world of martial arts was truly amazing. Yang Dingtian had only completed the enlightenment period and could already run 500 kilometers a day without feeling exhausted. Of course, he wasnt aware that the largest contribution to his current condition was the washing of his veins up to the third layer. However, he ran into a heavy snowstorm and was buffeted by strong winds that pushed against him. As a result, moving forward became much harder and he had to use up more energy to do so. He had no choice but to dig a hole in the snow to hide and wait for the wind and snow to pass. He stayed in that hole for a full three days. Three days later, the weather had cleared up. However, the sky was still as blue as an ocean. The twin suns were like gems illuminating the ground. The glare of their light reflected off the snow made it almost impossible to open ones eyes. Yang Dingtian came out from deep beneath the snow. He luckily possessed the Nine Yang body. Otherwise, he couldve died from suffocation after being buried by a few meters of snow. To be honest, it was truly weird that after cleansing his marrow and veins, Yang Dingtian didnt need as much oxygen. He could hold his breath for almost twenty minutes and could survive on a small amount of oxygen for quite some time. Eventually, the weather took a turn for the better. Yang Dingtian ran east at a high speed. However, he ran with his eyes closed as the surrounding snow was too glaring. Besides, there was nothing but snow for ten thousand meters. There was no risk of crashing into something while he was here. Yang Dingtian was pretty lucky as the clear sky lasted three days. During these three days, Yang Dingtian had run over a thousand kilometers. However, he then encountered another heavy snowstorm and strong winds. Thus, he had to dig a hole and hide again. He hid for a full seven days. This time, the snow and wind were much stronger than last time. When he crawled out of the hole on the 7th day, he felt cold and weak. This was because the energy in his body had once again been completely consumed. Hence, Yang Dingtian took out the Flame Pill that he placed in his ears and ate it. Instantly, a strand of strong energy burst out within his body and flowed through all his veins. It was so warm and comfortable that it wasnt easy to describe. Because of this strand of strong energy, Yang Dingtian slowly felt all of his limbs regain their strength. Leveraging this strand of energy, Yang Dingtian ran east with his eyes closed. Run, run, run.... Under the illumination of both suns in these ten thousand kilometers of ice and snow, there was a black dot moving at high speed. This time, God was looking out for Yang Dingtian as the sky had stayed clear for nine days. Actually, it had started turning gloomy on the fifth day, and Yang Dingtian was worried that the heavy snow might resume. In the end, the snow had only fallen for less than three hours before the clouds dispersed. Over these nine days, Yang Dingtian had run over three thousand kilometers. He could finally leave this Thousand Kilometers Ice Stream after running another thousand kilometers. Just as he was preparing to sprint the last one thousand kilometers, Yang Dingtian encountered the strongest wind and snow he had ever seen. The wind was so strong that it threatened to blow him away. Yang Dingtian had no choice but to dig a hole and hide again. The good news was that the wind and snow came so quickly and heavily that it left faster as well. The snow stopped after two days, and the sky cleared up. However, after crawling out of the hole, Yang Dingtian did not have much energy left in his body. Whether he could cross the remaining one thousand kilometers would depend on his determination. Four days later, Yang Dingtian had run about a thousand kilometers, but the energy from the Flame Pill had been completely consumed. Yang Dingtian had nothing to eat but ice and snow. His body became weaker with each passing day. He stopped running and started walking. Eventually, his entire body turned numb. His eyes gradually dimmed to the extent that once he collapsed, he would not be able to stand back up. At the moment when he was about to fall, he saw his first large tree since coming to this world. He immediately cried out in joy, using the last of energy to shout at the sky. Ahhhhh...... He had finally run the full five thousand seven hundred kilometers and left this damnable Thousand Kilometers Ice Stream. His vision was no longer completely filled with white. At last, he was able to eat something solid. Despite the fact that the tree seeds were bitter and dry, he still ate more than ten, eating until his entire tongue and mouth had become numb. After eating, he took a restful nap. When he got up, Yang Dingtian continued east. As he ran, the number of trees increased in number until they finally formed a humongous forest canopy. This large forest contained extremely huge trees. They were spaced ten meters apart, so it wasnt hard to get through this forest. Yang Dingtian fantasized that he would find animals within this forest so that he could finally eat meat again. But, he was disappointed! In this gigantic forest, there was not even a single animal. Much less four-legged animals, there wasnt even a single bird. It shouldnt be like this! When he was learning about this world, Yang Dingtian had learned that there should be many beasts inside this forest. The Mao Li Man clan frequently went inside the forest to hunt, but now, there wasnt a single living thing that could be seen. In this thousand-plus-kilometer wide forest, it was so dead quiet that Yang Dingtian was about to break down. However, Yang Dingtian managed to improve his diet. He had replaced the bitter and spicy tree seeds with another type of tasteless fruit. Five days later, Yang Dingtian managed to exit the forest and saw mountains. Getting here really wasnt easy. Since coming to this world, hed only been inside the Thousand Kilometers Ice Stream. Soon, he would reach the Mao Li Man Clan and would finally encounter human beings. True enough, two days after he left the forest, he saw the first house. It was a small solid wooden house. He rushed in excitedly but found nothing inside. There were a few pieces of wooden furniture inside, but they were all covered with thick layers of dust. There was also no food or even any clothes. However, Yang Dingtian was not upset as he thought that this might have been the house of a hunter who was out for the time being. Hence, he found it normal even though it was empty. However, the second, third, and fourth houses were all empty and had no signs of people living in them. Finally, Yang Dingtian found a village consisting of many houses. There were dozens of wooden houses, but without exception, each one was bereft of inhabitants. The furniture was all arranged neatly but was all covered with thick dust. On top of that, Yang Dingtian still hadnt spotted a single animal or bird. The further east he walked, the more villages he passed by. He even passed through two or three towns that used stones to build large houses. However, there were still no people and, just as before, there wasnt a single animal to be seen. S~?a??h the ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. What had happened here? Why is there isnt a single living thing? As he kept walking, Yang Dingtians heart gradually grew colder and gloomier. He had left the Ice Stream a month ago and walked more than three thousand kilometers since then. He had seen countless houses and numerous small towns, but he hadnt encountered a single person, bird, or any other moving creature. This land that was thousands of kilometers away from the Ice Stream should have had tens of thousands of Mao Li Man clansmen living with countless creatures. However, now it seemed as if they had all completely vanished from this world. From what Master had said, the Mao Li Man Clan that should have been living here had a high tolerance to the cold. They also used axes and were born to be strong martial artists. There was still one explanation for the complete lack of humans. The difficult living conditions might have caused their entire clan to move away. However, it was still too strange for there to not be a single creature around. Yang Dingtian was aware that if he continued heading east, he would soon reach the ocean. Yang Dingtian could even smell the sea breeze in the air. Early on, Yang Dingtian had been afraid that he was moving too slowly. Now, Yang Dingtian dared not walk quickly. He was afraid that he would reach the ocean without seeing a single human being or other creature. Then, he would really have no idea what to do. Towards the end, Yang Dingtian walked slower and slower until he was merely walking ten kilometers per day. Then, he simply entered a house to rest, as if afraid of reaching the seaside. Yang Dingtian still ate tree seeds because there was nothing else for him to eat. His body was still naked he couldnt even find an animal skin, much less proper clothing. There were actually tree leaves available, but he didnt know was wrong with the trees here as the leaves were all hard and sharp. They were not a suitable material to wear! Moreover, there was not even a single human shadow to be seen, and Yang Dingtian wasnt afraid of the cold. Hence, being naked didnt really matter to him. **** Inside the wooden house, Yang Dingtian was lying on a wooden bed and was a little afraid. He felt that his willpower and fighting spirit were actually weakening and that he was gradually becoming dispirited and lazy. In the icy and snowy Ice Stream, he was constantly balancing on the edge between life and death. In addition, the place had nothing but snow, so Yang Dingtians fighting spirit was exuberant. Now that there were trees and houses, with no human and animals around, he was scared, and his fighting spirit weakened. What exactly had happened? If he reached the ocean without meeting anyone, what should he do? He wouldnt be able to find out where the Yin Yang Sect was, much less get directions. He lay down on the bed but was unable to fall asleep. An endless sense of loneliness invaded his heart, filling it with murkiness. This sort of daily life had already gone on for several months. The current Yang Dingtian already completely resembled a savage person. His beard was long and tangled. His hair was long and messy. Suddenly, Yang Dingtian heard a sound. It sounded like a hooved animal walking on the snow. He immediately climbed out of bed and listened, not daring to believe his ears. He strained his ears to listen closely, fearing that this sound was just a hallucination. It wasnt a hallucination! It wasnt a hallucination! Truly, it wasnt hallucination! The sound was getting louder and louder. It sounded like horse hooves, and he even heard the sound of people talking and drinking. He immediately became excited! Yang Dingtian jumped and ran out of the wooden house! A few hundred meters in front of him was a troop walking in his direction. There were several hundred people. They all wore glamorous fur clothes and carried expensive weapons. Chapter 10: The Extraordinary Beauty Chapter 10: The Extraordinary BeautyTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales There were more than 100 people. All of them wore glamorous fur clothes and carried expensive weapons. In the middle of the troop, there were several large snow carriages. Everyones eyes were extremely bright. Their skin was radiant as well. Their faces were filled with pride. All in all, they didnt look like evil people. Hey...over here. Over here. Take me with you... Yang Dingtian ran out and stood in the middle of the road, blocking them. He raised both of his hands, waved, and shouted out loud. The troops were mounted on their horses and were traveling at high speed. They never expected a savage person to come rushing out of nowhere, block the road while desperately waving and shouting. Stop! Martial force alert! The man in a red robe leading the troop waved his hands, and the whole troop stopped instantly. Then, dozens of extraordinary bows were aimed at Yang Dingtian. The man leading gave Yang Dingtian a sharp gaze and asked coldly, Who are you? Why are you blocking our path? Are you not afraid of death? This person was an extremely heroic youth. He rode atop his horse, arrogantly staring at Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian restrained his inner excitement, took a few deep breaths, and then shouted a few sentences in the Mao Li clans language. He had formed this plan a while back. He was going to pretend to be part of the Mao Li Man clan. The man on the horse did not answer, but a clear voice rang out from the snow carriage at the back. Ximen Yan, why did we stop? Who is the person yelling and screaming in front? This voice belonged to a fairly young lady who spoke very quickly, her every word projecting her impatience. The guy in the red robe turned extremely respectful. His gaze became fiery and blurred as if every word uttered by this lady pierced through his inner heart. His name was apparently Ximen Yan. Miss, it is a Mao Li wild man who is blocking our way. I do not understand what he is shouting, Ximen Yan said fervently and respectfully. A Mao Li wild man? The Mao Li clan still exists? Didnt they go extinct already? The lady instantly grew excited and impatient. Let me see! She was about to open the carriage door and come down. Yanyan dont come down. This wild man is naked. The sight would pollute your eyes, Ximen Yan replied quickly. However, it was too late. The door to the classy snow carriage was pushed open and a lady walked out. It was a girl who looked like a fireball! Yang Dingtian looked at her with eyes wide open. She was extremely beautiful. S?a??h the ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. What was more, it was the legendary big boobs with a childish face! Her small snow-white face was dainty beyond compare, and her facial features seemed to have been sculpted out of jade by the Heavens. Her limpid eyes were big, beautiful, and brimmed with a wild flame. She had a perfectly straight nose and a vividly red delicate ruby-lipped mouth that burned, filling spectators with the desire to kiss it. Judging by her dainty face, she appeared to be a teenager. However, the tender body under that face was incomparably mature and captivating. That shapely mature body possessed incomparably exquisite curves. Her boobs were like mountain peaks. Their bust measurement was something Yang Dingtian had never seen before. Her small waist had the perfect amount of fat. She had outstanding hips that were well developed and round like the moon. Her luscious, mature, and tender body formed a distinct contrast with her delicate, snow-white, and doll-like face. She was obviously a young girl, but she already possessed such astonishingly fiery curves on her tender body. This girl was the legendary big boobs with a childish face, the best of the best among women. Yang Dingtian was stunned. What was more, this young girl wore a thin dress that made her curvy body even more captivating. The clothes that she wore, from the top of her head to even the small boots on her feet, were all colored a fiery red. Even the jade accessory in her hair was fiery red. When she stood on the snow, she looked like a fireball and instilled a strong desire among the men. In such cold weather, everyone wore thick fur clothing. Even the strong-looking Ximen Yan was no exception. Only this young girl wore something so thin. It was as if she wasnt afraid of the cold. The moment she stepped out of the carriage, she drew every mans gaze. Then, many of the inferior ones averted their gazes, not daring to stare any further. Only a few young arrogant men, Ximen Yan included, continued looking. When this fireball-like girl came down from her carriage, her eyes focused on Yang Dingtian. Her gaze could be considered aggressive for a girl. She smiled a little as if filled with arrogance. Is this a wild man? There is nothing much to see. The young girl continued smiling. Yang Dingtian obviously didnt look good. He was naked. His hair and mustache looked like tufts of wild grass. In fact, he didnt look like a wild man. He looked even worse. Finally, the young girls gaze stopped at Yang Dingtians crotch. Yang Dingtian had the Nine Yang body, so he was extremely well endowed, surpassing other more ordinary men. What little shyness she felt was quickly covered by her wildness. She commented, Truly a wild man. He even looks like a wild beast. The way she looked at Yang Dingtian was truly as if she were looking at a wild beast. Though she was staring at a mans crotch, it was as if she were merely appraising a horse. Her demeanor was arrogant and wild. However, Ximen Yan couldnt take it. He could not endure the fact that his goddess was staring at Yang Dingtians crotch. He felt that it sullied her purity. As a result, he instantly erupted in anger, filled with the desire to castrate Yang Dingtian. Okay, Im done looking at this wild man. Use your whip to chase him away. Get him out of our way, the young lady said as she turned back towards her carriage. Okay! Ximen Yan smiled coldly. He brandished a whip and struck out at Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian was enraged. This girl was so beautiful but was also incredibly rude. She had thoughtlessly asked someone to whip him. However, for the moment, he had to continue acting like a Mao Li wild man. Thus, he yelled wildly at the young lady in the Mao Li language. Ximen Yan was quickly enraged as well. He struck Yang Dingtian with the whip even harder. The whip was so sharp that if it were to hit his crotch, he would instantly become a eunuch. Yang Dingtian reached out with his hand, intending to catch the whip. Just as the young girl was about to board her carriage, she suddenly turned to stare at Yang Dingtians chest. Then, she quickly ran towards him while yelling, Stop! Ximen Yans facial expression changed. However, he had no choice but to stop immediately. YanYan, what are you doing? Dont go near this wild man. He is extremely dirty. Dont let his worms get on your body. Shut up, you dont have the right to tell me what to do, the young girl replied coldly. She sounded so annoyed that Ximen Yans expression turned bad. The young girl stood about a foot away from Yang Dingtian. She covered her nose with one hand, acting as if she couldnt stand his smell. She stared at Yang Dingtians chest. Yang Dingtians proximity to this legendary big boobs with a childish face young girl made his heart beat faster. He even felt thirsty. This thing of yours, sell it to me! The young girl pointed at the ring that Yang Dingtian wore around his neck. *********** Yang Dingtian looked down to where the young girls thin and long finger was pointing. He realized that she talking about the flame accessory that he was wearing. This accessory was the token representing the love between his master and his wife. It was also something that can prove Yang Dingtians identity. He had been too excited by the appearance of other humans that he had forgotten to hide it. Besides, he wasnt wearing any clothes and had nowhere to hide the flame accessory. It was just a piece of jade carved into the shape of a flame. It wasnt particularly expensive or rare and was just a unique token of love. This reason was why Yang Dingtian openly wore it over his chest as he shouldnt have needed to worry about it attracting any unwelcome attention. The young girl before him was decked with jewelry and gems. Every piece she wore on her body, including even the jade on the whip, was worth thousands of gold pieces. As such, she shouldnt have been interested in the relatively cheap flame accessory that Yang Dingtian wore. However, this girl had a fiery nature. The flame accessory coincidentally emitted vivid spiritual energy as if it were a true fireball. This characteristic was what caught this young girls attention. She had been born into a rich family. Ever since she was a child, she was able to easily get everything that caught her fancy. As such, she authoritatively ordered, Give this wild man 50 kilograms of meat and a hundred gold coins. Purchase the accessory on his chest. Ximen Yan let out a bitter laughter. His goddess came from a rich family and had no idea how much things were worth. She based her decision solely on her own preference. She was clueless regarding the value of 100 gold coins. It was enough for five families to live comfortably for the rest of their lives. However, the flame accessory worn by this wild man only had a unique carving. The material used to craft it was merely jade carved with fire. The hundred gold coins she offered for this flame-carved jade could bury this wild man alive. However, they couldnt go against her orders. Otherwise, there would be extremely severe consequences. That being the case, Ximen Yan waved his hand, and a man approached from behind holding a huge piece of cooked meat and a bag of gold coins. 50 kilograms of meat could be considered very heavy, but Ximen Yan held it as if it were extremely light. Bang.... The meat weighing 50 kilograms was thrown towards Yang Dingtian. The bag of gold coins was also thrown to his feet. The bag opened and gold coins spilled out. They were so shiny that they were blindingly bright. Good, this thing is now mine. You can now leave with these gold coins and meat.... After the young girl finished talking, her hands grabbed the flame accessory on Yang Dingtians chest, intending to snatch it away. Im not selling....., Yang Dingtian said furiously. He used his left hand to catch the young girls small snow-white hand. Though Yang Dingtian had merely practiced Zhen Yang Punch and The Art of Heaven and Earth and had only just completed the enlightenment period, he was still extremely fast. The young girls martial art level was also not low, but she had still been caught by Yang Dingtian at close range. When her hand was caught by Yang Dingtian, she reacted as if stung by a bee. She looked extremely furious and let out a scream. Standing behind her, Ximen Yan got even angrier. He could only touch his goddess in his dreams, but now, she was being touched by a wild man. He got so angry that he pulled out another flame-like whip and struck out at Yang Dingtians head. Chapter 11: Cloud Sky City Lord Chapter 11: Cloud Sky City LordTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales The surrounding people were shocked. Ximen Yans whip would probably burn this wild man to ashes. He would surely die. As for the furious young girl, her other snow-white jade wrist softly trembled, and a small, extraordinarily delicate, and beautiful crossbow unexpectedly appeared. Sou..... A small red arrow shot out as fast as lightning. Yang Dingtian couldnt dodge at this distance. He instinctively blocked it with his palm in an attempt to break the small arrow whistling towards him. Immediately, a torrent of Xuan Energy burst out. However, the small arrow suddenly erupted with a horrifyingly fiery energy, penetrated his palm, and pierced his chest. At the same time, Yang Dingtians right hand turned a fiery red and, as a natural result of the law of inertia, pressed against the young girls chest. What amazing size. What amazing elasticity. What amazing softness. How amazing it felt gripped in his hand. However, Yang Dingtian didnt have the luxury to enjoy it. The young girl was stunned for a moment when his fiery palm pressed against her breast. Then, erupting in shock and anger, she screamed and struck Yang Dingtian with her palm. At the same time, Ximen Yans fiery whip struck the top of Yang Dingtians head. Yang Dingtian felt like hed been struck by lightning as three different extremely fiery energies rushed into his body. He felt like his whole body was about to be torn apart. His entire body instantly turned a fiery red, and the blood in this body started boiling. Ahhh... Yang Dingtian yelled while holding onto the young girls small little hand. He glared at her, full of anger. The moment he opened his mouth, hot blood instantly spurt out, and he fell to the ground, unconscious! The young girl felt a hot flush on her face. Her beautiful jade-like face was splattered with Yang Dingtians hot blood. Originally, based on her martial arts level, she should have been able to easily avoid the blood. However, even though she was arrogant, she had never ever killed a person before. At the moment, she was stunned by the fact that she had actually killed someone out of anger. A few moments later, she attempted to shake off Yang Dingtians grip on her hand. Trembling, she said, How dare, how dare you touch me?... You got what you deserve! Despite all that happened, she still wanted to take the wild mans flame accessory. However, even after exerting herself, she actually couldnt free her hand from Yang Dingtians grip. She could have used Xuan Energy to directly toss Yang Dingtians corpse a few meters away. But, if she did that, it was very likely that all the bones in his body would disintegrate. After hesitating for a while, she decided not to use her Xuan Energy and instead leveraged her physical strength to set herself free. Ximen Yans face was cold. He pulled out a sharp knife and moved to chop off Yang Dingtians hand. Impudent! Still dont know when to stop? Suddenly, a powerful and angry voice echoed in the distance. It was the voice of a middle-aged man. He was clearly far away, but his voice seemed to ring directly in his ears. The voice shook Ximen Yans heart and lungs, and he froze, not daring to move even an inch. The City Lord is here! Everyone got off their horses and kneeled down on the snow. Soon, they all heard the sound of hoofbeats approaching. A threatening aura could be felt! **************** Yang Dingtian was like Sun Wukong in Taishang Laojuns furnace, constantly being burned by fiery flames. Even though he was unconscious, he was still suffering from excruciating pain. (TL note: Sun Wukong is the main character in the Chinese novel Journey to the West who rebelled against heaven. Taishang Laojun is a member of the Taoist pantheon who concocts pills of immortality in his furnace in high temperature.) This pain was completely different from the pain he felt when his veins were being cleansed. This pain was completely violent and was tearing Yang Dingtians body apart, attempting to take his life. As a result, he felt the excruciating pain even though he was unconscious. Then, a pair of soft hands pressed against his chest, exuding a cooling aura that suppressed the fire energy in his body. Then, he felt as if an ice cold substance had been poured into his mouth. Instantly, he felt the wounds he had accumulated over the years begin to heal, drinking in the moisture like a drought-stricken land drinking in the first heavy rain. Though he was still unconscious, countless thoughts were spinning in his mind, so he didnt feel calm at all. My flame accessory. Im not selling it. Give it back to me......, Yang Dingtian muttered angrily. Suddenly, he shot up. He was no longer in the snow. Instead, he was in a warm, classy room and was lying in a big soft bed. There was a polite, elegant, and handsome middle-aged man standing by his bed. He wore a plain long robe. His gaze was gentle and he had a jade-like face. From head to toe, only the jade crown on his head made him look rich. You are finally awake, the middle-aged man said gently. Yang Dingtian touched his chest and found that his flame accessory was missing. He immediately used the Mao Li language to yell angrily. However, he only yelled give it back to me since he didnt know the Mao Li words for give me back my flame accessory. What? Had my daughter stolen something from you? the middle-aged man asked, using this worlds common language. Yang Dingtian was surprised by the revelation that the young girl this gentlemans daughter. As a father, how could he not know that his daughter had taken his flame accessory? The young girl wanting to forcefully buy the flame accessory was understandable because she liked its appearance. However, this middle-aged man acting like he didnt know that his daughter had taken it away should have an ulterior motive. Could it be that he recognized the flame accessory? It should be impossible, right? Master said that only his wife and daughter would be able to recognize it. Yang Dingtian silently pondered but still acted as if he couldnt understand what the man was saying. He kept yelling give it back to me in the Mao Li language. Young man, you dont have to pretend to be a Mao Li wild man anymore. I am highly proficient in the Mao Li language and your pronunciation is off. The middle-aged man laughed gently. Although he had just exposed Yang Dingtians act, he still gave one the feeling of a spring breeze. Yang Dingtian hesitated for a moment before using the common language to say, Your daughter took my flame accessory. Please kindly return it to me. Although it isnt worth much money, it is still extremely important to me. It has great sentimental value to me. s?a??h th? N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. I have already grounded my daughter, and I had yet to hear both sides of the story. I was waiting for you to wake up to listen to your side. Im not going to only believe what my daughter and the other martial artist told me. The middle-aged man continued, If she had really stolen something of yours, I will definitely see that its returned to you. Yang Dingtian was still cautious of him but showed a gentle expression as he said, Thank you, elder! The middle-aged man smiled a little and then waved his hand. Go and call my daughter over. Yes, Master, the person outside replied. About ten minutes later, the door opened and a fragrant wind blew in. The young girl entered. Instantly, it was like a fireball had illuminated the entire room. The young girl looked exhausted, but she was still arrogant. When she saw that Yang Dingtian had awoken, her face showed relief for a moment before turning cold again. The middle-aged mans previously gentle face turned strict. He eyed his daughter and ordered, Now, tell me what happened. He looked at Yang Dingtian, gently smiled, and said, Young man, if anything she says isnt true, you can point it out. I will not automatically side with my daughter. Dad, he is a Mao Li wild man. He cant understand our language. You dont have to worry about that. What happened exactly? The middle-aged man was strict, causing the young girl to tremble a little. It seemed like she acted very respectfully towards her father. We were rushing to our destination when suddenly, this wild man rushed out and blocked our way. Yan brother had told me that it was a Mao Li wild man. I thought that the Mao Li clan had gone extinct a few years ago. Thus, I came out to satisfy my curiosity. In the end, there wasnt much to see so I had Yan brother drive him away and was about to go back to my carriage. But then, I noticed the flame accessory on this persons chest. Daddy, you know...., the young girl continued. Call me father, the middle-aged man replied coldly. Yes, Father! The young girl looked particularly aggrieved. She clenched her teeth and continued, Father, you know I was born with fiery veins, which is why Ive been like fire since childhood. This was also the reason you named me Ximen Yanyan. I felt that the flame accessory on his chest suited me well, and I liked it a lot. Hence, I offered one hundred gold coins and 50 kilograms of meat to buy it. (TL note: Ximen Yanyan is the daughter of Ximen Wuya. Ximen Yan is Ximen Wuyas adopted son. He is Ximen Yanyans foster brother). I gave him the gold coins and meat. But then, just as I was about to take the flame accessory, this wild man caught my hand and grabbed my breast with his hand. I had never been touched by a man before, much less a wild man. Even all of my clothes are made by sister NingNing. I felt panicked and anxious, so I shot my fiery crossbow. Brother Yan was also anxious and struck out with his whip instinctively. Then, the wild man collapsed and vomited blood. At that point, I thought he was dead.... After listening to his daughters account, the middle-aged man asked Yang Dingtian, Is this what happened? Did it happen exactly as she said? Yang Dingtian nodded and replied, Mostly, but Ms. Ximen did not ask me whether or not I was willing to sell it. Arent you a Mao Li wild man? Ximen Yanyan was stunned and argued, Your flame accessory isnt even worth much. I gave you one hundred gold coins. Who wouldnt take that deal? Besides, why did you grab my hand? How rude! the middle-aged man admonished angrily. At that moment, the entire room shook and the flames on the candles all shrunk. The bracelet on your hand is also not valuable. If someone were to offer one thousand gold coins for it, would you sell? the middle-aged man asked coldly. Of course not. This was given to me by my mother. I wouldnt sell it at any price. Then, why did you assume that this young man was willing to sell his flame accessory? the middle-aged man lectured angrily. What right do you have to forcefully buy other peoples things? Just because you are Cloud Sky City Lords daughter? On top of that, just because someone caught your hand and accidentally touched your body, you attempted to injure or kill him? Who gave you the right to treat life like grass? You have truly disappointed me. It was my fault for pampering you too much. Youve become so spoiled and demanding. A girl being demanding may be a little cute, but being violent is a crime that can never be forgiven! Kneel! the middle-aged man ordered angrily. Ximen Yanyan was dumbfounded and just stood there. Didnt you hear what I said. Kneel and apologize to this young man! the middle-aged man yelled angrily. Ximen Yanyan finally managed to process what shed heard. She couldnt believe it and said, Daddy, I am your daughter. Kneel! Do you really want me to repeat myself a third time? the middle-aged man shouted. Chapter 12: Arrogance and Ferocity Chapter 12: Arrogance and FerocityTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Kneel! Do you want me to repeat myself a third time? the middle-aged man shouted. Ximen Yanyans extremely beautiful face turned pale. She clenched her teeth and trembled. Daddy, I am your only daughter and the princess of Cloud Sky City. You want me to kneel before a Mao Li wild man? (TL Note: Ximen Yan is Ximen Wuyas foster son. Ximen Yanyan is Ximen Wuyas blood daughter. They are two completely different people.) s?a??h th? ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The middle-aged mans heart ached, but he hardened his heart and remained cold. Thats right. If you are my daughter, then kneel and admit your wrongdoings. When you do something wrong, you must always receive punishment! No! Ximen Yanyan held in her tears as she said, Daddy, I can kneel for you or mother, but I can never kneel for anyone else. I can apologize. I can admit my wrongdoings. But, I will never kneel. Ximen Yanyan pulled out a unique fiery-red dagger and placed it against her snow-white jade-like neck. If you insist on making me kneel before him, I will die right in front of you. Daddy, I can admit my wrongdoings. I can apologize. But, I will never kneel! Ximen Yanyan said while trembling. Then, she pushed the sharp dagger closer against her neck, piercing her skin. Blood started flowing down her snow-white neck. The middle-aged man trembled, clenched his fists, and stared at his own daughter. Looking at the red blood dripping down, his face twitched. This was the daughter that he loved most. She was his sweetheart. Ximen Yanyan bowed towards Yang Dingtian and said, Sorry, I was wrong, I shouldnt have tried to forcefully buy your accessory. I shouldnt have hurt you. Please forgive me! The middle-aged man looked at his beloved daughter and then looked at Yang Dingtian. Aihh..... The middle-aged man sighed. He turned to Yang Dingtian and bowed towards him. Sorry, young man. I, Ximen Wuya, hadnt been strict enough with her education. My heart is also not hard enough. I couldnt bear to see my daughters blood drip all over the place and didnt manage to force her to kneel. I hereby apologize to you and hope you can forgive my daughters wrongdoings! Ximen Yanyan was shocked! Her father was the highest Lord in Cloud Sky City. a position of such honor and fame. At this moment, he was actually bowing and apologizing to this Mao Li wild man because of her. Ximen Yanyan felt as if her heart was about to shatter. Her father was the person that she admired and respected the most. Because of her own actions, her dad had to endure such shame. Daddy, dont..... Ximen Yanyan kneeled in front of her father, having dropped the dagger. She hugged her dads leg and cried, Daddy, I was wrong! I shouldnt bully people, I shouldnt have endangered his life. I shouldnt have hurt myself with a dagger and threatened you with my life. Daddy, Ive known everything all along. What should be done and what shouldnt be done. But, I really cannot control my character, Ximen Yanyan cried. Ximen Wuya sighed and touched his daughters soft hair. Yanyan, how long has it been since you last cried? Ximen Yanyan replied, I havent cried since that incident when I was 15. This little princess of Cloud Sky City was demanding, arrogant, and tough. She normally never lowered her head and never cried, but today, she cried loudly because her dad had to bow for her. Although she was aware that it was all her fault and that she shouldnt blame Yang Dingtian, she couldnt suppress the hatred in her heart. Where is that thing? Ximen Wuya reached out his hand. Ximen Yanyan procured the flame accessory from her sleeves and looked at it with reluctance and hatred. She then obediently placed it in her fathers hand. You can stand up now! Ximen Wuya declared, You must keep in mind what happened today, and remind yourself of it whenever you do anything else in the future. Think more about your father and control your temper. Think twice before doing anything! Yes! I know, said Ximen Yanyan with her head lowered. One more thing. Dont hate this young man, Ximen Wuya ordered. Ximen Yanyan clenched her teeth and said, Daddy, I cant stop my heart from hating him, but I will not take revenge, will not go against him on purpose, and will not harm him even in the future. I will not care about him, will not touch him, will not even look at him. Towards the end of her promise, Ximen Yanyan could no longer suppress her hatred. Ximen Wuya frown and waved his hand. You can leave now... Ximen Yanyan gave Yang Dingtian a cold glare and left. ********* Young man, your accessory. Ximen Wuya returned the flame accessory to Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian took it and hung it back around his neck. Mr. Ximen, Im very sorry. If it were anything else, I wouldnt have minded giving it to Ms. Ximen. However, this flame accessory was given to me by a close elder of mine. It is extremely important to me. I know. Even though it is something insignificant, others still shouldnt forcefully snatch it from you, Ximen Wuya replied. Oh yes! Young man, where are you headed? If your destination is different from mine, I can get a boat to send you where you need to go. Only then did Yang Dingtian notice that the room felt a little shaky. Are we on the sea right now? Ximen Wuya nodded. Yes. Im headed to the East Cloud Province. Is it far from here? Yang Dingtian asked. East Cloud Province? asked Ximen Wuya. Headed to the Yin Yang Sect? Yang Dingtian was stunned. Sorry, I didnt intend to invade your privacy, Ximen Wuya explained. But, my destination is also the Yin Yang Sect. If you are headed there, we can go together! Can there be such a coincidence? Yang Dingtian began to get suspicious again and subconsciously gripped the flame accessory more tightly. Could this gentleman have been acting all along? Does he have any ulterior motives? Or could he have already discovered the secret of my flame accessory? Ximen Wuya glanced at Yang Dingtian with an all-knowing gaze. He smiled and assured him, Dont worry, young man. If you are not willing to, I can get you a boat and send you to East Cloud Province alone. Yang Dingtian felt embarrassed, smiled, and replied, No thanks, Mr. Ximen. Ill just trouble you to bring me along. Youre welcome. Bring you along is something I should do. Ximen Wuya continued, There doesnt seem to be any problems with your body now. I will get someone to send you food later. Ill get going now and will visit you again tomorrow. After he finished speaking, Ximen Wuya walked towards the door. Yang Dingtian quickly got out of bed to send him off. Stop. There are lots of books in this place. Feel free to read some to kill time. Ximen Wuya turned around and added, When you become bored, you can grab some fresh air out on the boat and look at the huge sea. Then, Ximen Wuya left. Around ten minutes later, a pretty maid brought him some food. The food was extremely delectable and delicious. Yang Dingtian was so happy that he ate until he nearly swallowed his tongue. The pretty maid gave him the cold shoulder. Although the maid did not say anything rude, her face was filled with hostility. She presumably had a good relationship with Ximen Yanyan and thus, regarded him as a common enemy. So comfortable! Yang Dingtian rubbed his belly. He hadnt had any real food for more than a year. It was truly pitiful! Hng.... At this time, the handsome maid could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. She let out a cold sigh, cleared the cutlery, and left. She also slammed the door on her way out to express her anger towards Yang Dingtian. ******* On the second day, when Yang Dingtian woke up, he decided to go out on deck to look at the sea, to see if it was different from those on Earth. The ship was huge. It took Yang Dingtian several minutes to walk from the room to the deck. He encountered many people along the way, all of whom seemed hostile towards him. If they werent hostile, then they were at least cold and avoided him. Hmm, he is just a wild man. Why did master treat him so well? Not only did he consume a lot of Xuan energy to heal his wounds, but he also wasted a lot of Xuan Bing Yu substance on him, enough to exchange for several hundred wild man slaves. Some of the warriors in the boat thought that Yang Dingtian was just a wild man who couldnt understand their language. Thus, they didnt even bother trying to hide what they were saying in front of him. (TL note: Xuan Bing Yu substance is a sort of tonic used to help the patient heal and recover.) Yang Dingtian ignored what they said and walked straight to the deck. He soon smelled a cool and damp sea breeze and heard the sound of the waves. The sea here didnt look much different from Earths. It was vast, and the sea water was still blue. There were also sea birds and plentiful fish. The ship was made of wood and was much larger than similar ancient wooden ships built historically on Earth. It was also elegant, long, and slender. One could see a fiery red seductive back at the head of the ship. It was Ximen Yanyan. Only she would wear such thin clothing, and only she had such full and attractive body curves. Although she changed her dress today, it was still red, thin, and silky. The sea breeze was so strong that it pressed the red dress tightly around her amazingly plump body, accentuating the curves and increasing her allure. The peaks on her chest were even more shocking. This girl was full of wildness. She didnt care that her seductive curves were seen by others. She was like a flame that stoked a mans heart and desires no matter where she went. I just want to be alone. No matter who are you, hurry and get out of my sight. Feeling the footsteps behind, Ximen Yanyan spoke impolitely. Yang Dingtian did not bother her but went right to the front, leaned over the wooden railing and looked down. He watched the ocean waves and the fish that leaped up from time to time. When Ximen Yanyan realized that it was Yang Dingtian, the fake wild man, her beautiful eyebrows scrunched in displeasure. She subconsciously held her breath, acting as if she couldnt even share the same air with the man who was only 2 meters away. Go away. Dont come near me, Ximen Yanyan said coldly. Yang Dingtian did not bother with her. He just continued looking at the fish in the sea. Ximen Yanyan got angry, clenched her fist, and was about to punch him. However, she thought of her fathers anger and couldnt help but hold it in. If you are not leaving, then Ill leave! Chapter 13: Betrothing Yanyan to you, agree? Chapter 13: Betrothing Yanyan to you, agree?Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Ximen Yanyan got angry, clenched her fist, and was about to punch him. However, she thought of her fathers anger and couldnt help but hold it in. If you are not leaving, then Ill leave! Right after that, she turned and walked away with her gem-studded boots, stomping so hard that her impressive breasts wobbled and caught Yang Dingtians eye. Ximen Yanyan had stomped away, leaving Yang Dingtian alone at the head of the ship. ....... We are still fifteen days away from the Yin Yang Sect. The scenery here on the sea is decent, but it becomes boring if you look at it for too long since its plain and unchanging, particularly for you young people. The voice of the owner of this ship, Ximen Wuya, suddenly sounded out from behind him. Yang Dingtian had no idea when the man arrived behind him, not having noticed the sound of footsteps that was there all along. Mr. Ximen, why are you heading to the Yin Yang Sect? asked Yang Dingtian. This question was not something that he was supposed to ask. After all, they werent that close. However, since Yang Dingtian was young, it wasnt unexpected for him to make such superficial mistakes. Some routine tasks that I need to do once a decade, Ximen Wuya replied. Im like those wanderers who go back every few years to worship their ancestors, thus indicating that they have not forgotten their roots. You are related to the Yin Yang Sect? Yang Dingtian asked. It is Cloud Sky City and the Yin Yang Sect that are related. Ximen Wuya continued, Its a complicated relationship. They are like an enemy but also not exactly an enemy. Theyre like a friend but at the same time, not exactly a friend. They are closely related but also simultaneously not exactly closely related. It appeared as if the wise Ximen Wuya was making a mistake in telling Yang Dingtian all these things even though they werent close at all. Every Lord of Cloud Sky City goes to the Yin Yang Sect every ten years. He is humiliated each time he goes, and this time, I feel I wont be an exception, Ximen Wuya softly explained. Arent you very powerful? Even someone like you has to endure insults? Isnt your Cloud Sky City also strong? Yang Dingtian asked. His questions were also partially a probe into the Yin Yang Sects circumstances. Ximen Wuya responded as if he had no idea that Yang Dingtian was testing him. He laughed and said, In front of the Yin Yang Sect, who would dare say that he is strong? Yang Dingtian asked, Is Yin Yang Sect that strong? If a faction has thousands of followers, territories that stretch for hundreds of miles, and more than a hundred thousand people who admire and rely on them, would this faction be considered powerful? Ximen Wuya asked. It would be powerful. Extremely powerful. Yang Dingtian breathed a cool air and asked, Yin Yang Sect is actually this strong? No, Im not talking about the Yin Yang Sect but a martial arts faction. There are dozens of such factions in the world. Ximen Wuya continued, To be exact, there are twenty-seven such factions. Above them are the nine big sects, who then fall under three large groups. There are only three large groups in the world, and the Yin Yang Sect is one of them. Do you think that they are powerful? After hearing this explanation, Yang Dingtian sucked in a cold breath. Previously, hed learned about the Yin Yang Sect from his Master. He had already thought that it would be quite powerful, but he never expected them to be strong to this extent. What about Dongfang Niemie (his deceased master)? Yang Dingtian couldnt help but ask. Number one in the world! Ximen Wuya calmly uttered these five words. Yang Dingtian was shocked. His late master happened to be the strongest person in this world! But, if he was the strongest person in the world, how did he become trapped several kilometers underground in an ice cave, stuck in a state in which he was as good as dead? Who was his enemy? Could there be anyone more powerful than the world number one? Yang Dingtian had too much to process and was in no mood to continue the conversation. Ximen Wuya smiled, tapped his shoulder, and left him alone at the head of the ship. It is about to rain hard. You should get off the deck. ******* In the subsequent days, everyone on the ship continued to treat Yang Dingtian extremely coldly. Ximen Yanyan was even filled with hatred towards him. However, Ximen Wuya still visited him every day to chat. He never ever tried to invade Yang Dingtians privacy. Instead, he answered any question that the young man asked him. The two of them became closer and closer. At times, they would chat for as long as half a day. Everyone on the ship was confused. Why did the Lord of Cloud Sky City, Ximen Wuya, treat a person with an unknown background so well? This special treatment caused Ximen Yan to become fully hostile towards Yang Dingtian. He was Ximen Wuyas adopted son and even he had never received such good treatment. Thus, he was filled with jealousy. If Ximen Wuya wasnt such a clean and honest person, some people would have suspected that Yang Dingtian was his illegitimate son. As for Yang Dingtian, although he remained cautious towards Ximen Wuya, deep down in his heart, he had already developed a very good impression about this person and even admired him a bit. Before, Yang Dingtian had no idea what a gentleman looked like. Now, hed found that Ximen Wuya fit the very definition of a gentleman. He was definitely not a hypocrite and spending time with him was pleasant. However, the time to part was about to arrive. After half a month on the ship, they were about to reach the Dong Fang Yun Province where the Yin Yang Sect was located. ....... Not bad. Youre a handsome young man. Ximen Wuya laughed, looking at Yang Dingtians reflection in the mirror. Before they disembarked, Ximen Wuya personally helped Yang Dingtian shave his mustache, tidied his hair, and even gave him a beautiful robe, sword, and a luxurious jade crown. Now, Yang Dingtian no longer looked like a wild man and was indistinguishable from anyone else in this world. All traces of his Earth origin could no longer be seen. Ximen Wuya, the Lord of Cloud Sky City, actually personally tidied Yang Dingtians hair and beard. He had absolutely no reason to treat him so well. Mr. Ximen? Why are you treating me so well? Im a nobody with an unknown background. Yang Dingtian finally couldnt stand it and asked. When one shows courtesy to others, one must have an ulterior motive. Is that what you think? Ximen Wuya laughed. The Mao Li clan has actually gone extinct. Something terrible must have happened in the northern ice land to extinguish all life there. And yet, I appeared from that place. This is very abnormal. Why havent you ever asked me about it? Yang Dingtian asked. Havent you invented a few stories and answer that very question? Ximen Wuya laughed. Yes, Yang Dingtian admitted. Ximen Wuya laughed and said, Since I already know that your answer is going to be made up, why would I still bother to ask? Everyone has his own secrets. If he wants to talk, he will naturally talk. Therefore, why would I ask? And as for your secret, I already figured out most of it. Ximen Wuya continued, Of course, I have no intention of investigating further. When I treated you while you were comatose, you said many words that I couldnt understand. I understand most of the languages in this world, but I have never heard of your language and have never come across it. Yang Dingtian was stunned. Could he have been speaking out loud in Chinese while he was dreaming? Indeed, I am treating you so well for a specific reason. Ximen Wuya slowly said, I still consider myself smart. My intuition is usually on point. Over the many days weve been in contact, Ive come to realize that you are almost completely alone in this world. You have almost no connections to anyone. Also, you are smart but dont lack wisdom. You are sensitive but not calculating. You are kind but not stupid. You are a good boy. Ximen Wuya continued, I know you have something important to do at the Yin Yang Sect, but I would like to give you two options now. What options? Yang Dingtian asked. I have only one daughter. I love my wife very much, which is why I havent married any other women and dont have any other descendants. Youve seen Yanyan. She is absolutely not a suitable successor for Cloud Sky City. Thats why Ive adopted several children. Among them are a few extraordinary ones, but even they are not qualified to be the future Lord of Cloud Sky City. Thats why Ive chosen you. I treated you so well in the past few days partly because I wanted to test your character and probe your inner thoughts. I like your character. You have passed my test. Thats why! Ximen Wuya looked at Yang Dingtian and asked, So, are you willing to be the successor for Cloud Sky City? What? Yang Dingtian was speechless. He thought hed heard it wrong. Another huge piece of cake had fallen out of the sky. Yang Dingtian was about to faint. He never expected Ximen Wuya to say something like that. You, you also want me to be your adopted son? Yang Dingtian asked in shock. No, not adopted son but son-in-law. A son-in-law who marries in. You would be Yanyans future husband. However, your children would all carry your surname, and you would be the one and only Lord of Cloud Sky City. Dont look down on sons-in-law who marry in. Im also a son-in-law who married in. I married Yanyans mother, and her father passed the entire Cloud Sky City to me. Unfortunately, I only have a daughter, so I have to find a suitable son-in-law to marry in. I am prepared to hand Cloud Sky City over to him. Ive chosen you! Why me? Is it because Im absolutely alone in this world or is it because of my virtues? Yang Dingtian asked. Ximen Wuya said, No. Of course, the qualities you mentioned are important. However, the most important thing is something else. When I treated your injuries, I discovered that your Pure Yang Xuan veins were immeasurably deep. However, it is a pity that your Xuan energy is extremely weak. You possess top-notch talent, but you are also simultaneously like a white piece of paper. I believe that, under my guidance, your future would far surpass mine. In your hands, Cloud Sky City would reach new heights. Yang Dingtian was befuddled. Why do all powerful martial artists like to use the same trick? They all try to make Yang Dingtian their successor and get him to marry their daughter. It was understandable with Dongfang Niemie since he was trapped in an ice cave and had no other options. However, the Ximen Wuya that was standing in front of him had plenty of options. S?a??h the n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The number of people in this world who wanted to be Ximen Yanyans husband, the future Lord of Cloud Sky City, could form a chain that would circle the world several times. Based on what he learned over the past few days, Yang Dingtian was aware that while the position of Cloud Sky City in this world was awkward and complicated, it was still undoubtedly an extremely strong influence. And now, Yang Dingtian could be the Lord of an entire region. Ximen City Lord, did you not consider your daughters happiness when you made this decision? Yang Dingtian asked. Of course I considered it. That was the first priority over all other priorities. You can see that I love Yanyan very much, which is why Im betrothing her to you. I am confident that she will be happy as I still trust my judgment. Chapter 14: Yang Dingtian’s decision Chapter 14: Yang Dingtians decisionTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian was left speechless once again. This worlds top martial artists were so confident in their judgment when it came to selecting a son-in-law. Dongfang Niemie and Ximen Wuya were both similar in this aspect. But, your daughter hates me a lot, Yang Dingtian tried to argue. Thats better than being ignored. Theres a thin line separating love and hate. I believe that as long as you try hard, you will be able to win her heart. Yanyan has high expectations when it comes to items but is still very simple and direct. With your intelligence, you should know how to deal with this kind of girl. Yang Dingtian recalled Ximen Yanyans fiery nature, extremely beautiful and delicate features, fiery well-developed curvy body, character that clearly distinguished between love and hate, and demanding personality that didnt lack intelligence. Any man would be tempted by this kind of extraordinarily beautiful woman. our work on a thieving site. Thank you kindly. However, Yang Dingtian had already promised his Master, Dongfang Niemie. His Master had invested everything into him including his life. Since he had already agreed, he was bound to bear this heavy responsibility. I know that you probably have a very important reason for going to the Yin Yang Sect. It is one of the three largest groups in the world and their sacred grounds for martial arts is incomparably rich and powerful. However, what the Yin Yang Sect is capable of giving you, it is not impossible for my Cloud Sky City to also give you, Ximen Wuya stated proudly. Yang Dingtian felt his mouth go a little dry. He cleared his throat and said, A man and a woman must complement each other. Opposites attract while those who are alike repel one another. I have Yang Veins and your daughter has the Yang Fiery Body. We are completely similar and would not get along. Nonsense. Ximen Wuya laughed and rebutted, I have a pure Yang Body while Yanyans mother has a fierce and fiery character. Even so, we still love each other very much. Dont you see how gentle I am now? Ximen Wuya asked. Yang Dingtian nodded and replied, Youre as gentle as water. But, I really do have a Fiery Yang body. In my younger days, my temper was completely fiery. Although Yanyans mother and I love each other a lot, we still fight every few days. Even so, my father-in-law was happy and didnt bother us. Husband and wife will eventually get back together after fighting, but what is the point if husband and wife dont fight? Currently, my character has become gentle, partly due to having been disciplined by Yanyans mother and partly due to my own cultivation. I have cultivated my Yang Fire into a cold Yin Fire, which caused my character to become cold and indifferent. Then, by combining Yin and Yangs complementary natures, my character naturally became gentle and tolerant. Yang Dingtian was once again stunned. From Ximen Wuyas simple words, he discovered that the man was extremely powerful, far more powerful than expected. Dongfang Niemie had once said that when Yang Fire was cultivated to a certain degree, it would transform into a blue Yin Fire. Only when this Yin Fire was powerful enough would Yin and Yang blend. Moreover, Dongfang Niemie had given Yang Dingtian the goal of cultivating to the blue Yin Fire stage within ten years to summon the flame ring. Now, standing right before him was Ximen Wuya, who had already cultivated to that stage. He was extremely powerful and peoples admiration of him was well-deserved. Lord Ximen, your proposal is very tempting. Your generous affection is very moving as well. Finally, your daughter truly moves ones heart. However, Im sorry to say that I accept your proposal! Due to certain special reasons, I cannot promise you, Yang Dingtian reiterated. After he finished speaking, Yang Dingtian was almost unable to meet Ximen Wuyas sincere eyes. Yet, he still made the effort and looked up. For a moment, Ximen Wuya just looked at Yang Dingtian. Then, he lightly sighed with infinite regret and slowly closed his eyes. Yang Dingtian suddenly said, Then, are you going to kill me? Why do you say so? Ximen Wuya replied with eyes still closed. In books Ive read, it is written that whenever the male main character refuses an offer made by the other party, the other party must eliminate the main character in order have one less powerful enemy in the future. Many of the stronger people have this kind of mentality; if they cant obtain it, they might as well destroy it, Yang Dingtian replied. Ximen Wuya laughed and slapped Yang Dingtians forehead, saying, Nonsense, what kind of messed up book did you read.. Thank you kindly. Why would I kill you? Youre a good child. On top of that, even after you enter the Yin Yang Sect, we will not necessarily become enemies. Although Cloud Sky City and the Yin Yang Sect are on different sides, and they regard us as traitors, our relationship is way more complex than you can imagine. Ximen Wuya rubbed Yang Dingtians head and continued, Even if I told you all the particulars now, you wouldnt understand. Wait until you enter the Yin Yang Sect and you will eventually come to understand. Okay, were going arrive at the Yin Yang Sect in Dong Fang Yun province very soon. I will get a boat to send you ashore. Letting others know that you and I are related would be detrimental to your future prospects in the Yin Yang Sect, Ximen Wuya said with a smile. He then got up to leave. After reaching the door, he suddenly turned to say, Child, you can accept my proposal any time before Yanyan gets married. Also, whats your name? Ximen Wuya asked. After receiving the others kindness and favor for half a month, Yang Dingtian still hadnt given Ximen Wuya his name. This was indeed bad mannered, but Ximen Wuya hadnt asked so Yang Dingtian hadnt told him. I am called Yang Dingtian. Ximen Wuya was momentarily surprised before he showed a mischievous expression. He winked and said with a smile, Good name. Its very overbearing. This cultured and refined great master could actually show this kind of mischievous expression! Yang Dingtian nearly thought that he had hallucinated it. Immediately, Yang Dingtian blushed in shame and embarrassment. He became even more convinced that Ximen Wuya was a very good person, at least towards him. He was a gentleman with a temperament as mild as water and was not the least bit inflexible. ... s?a??h th? N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. A day later, the morning sun had just risen over the horizon and cast its light over the surface of the sea. The clouds over the horizon were split, letting a large amount of sunlight through. The seawater was crystal clear. Not far away, Dong Fang Yun province was already visible. At this moment, Cloud Sky Citys huge ship was merely a few dozen kilometers away from the shore. The area was bustling with ships hanging all sorts of flags. Some ships were big. Others were small. However, none of them were bigger than Cloud Sky Citys ship. Cloud Sky Citys ship also hung a flag that whipped back and forth in the strong winds. The design was fairly simple. It had a black background upon which was embroidered a blue flame that seemed cold and desolate. It was obvious that Cloud Sky Citys powerful name was very well-known. The moment the flag was raised, the surrounding ships all made way and gave them a very wide berth. Their ship was the epitome of the phrase only I am dominant. There were also some ships that organized their troops and waved their flags towards Cloud Sky Citys large ship to pay their respects. Yang Dingtian and Ximen Wuya stood at the head of the ship. Witnessing this scene, Yang Dingtian let out a great sigh in admiration. Cloud Sky City was actually so strong and domineering. However, Ximen Wuyas face was expressionless. He just commanded, Return the greetings! His voice was very deep and could actually be heard throughout the ship. As a result, the ship also began organizing its troops to wave the flag in return and respond with its horn. City Lord Ximen, why are there so many ships? Yang Dingtian asked. They are all headed to the Yin Yang Sect. Theres a large gathering every ten years. In particular, this year will commemorate the Yin Yang Sects grand ancestors 550th birthday as well as the 500th anniversary of the Yin Yang Sects founding. All of the influences in the world, be they large or small, righteous or evil, all come to pay their respects without exception. That powerful? Yang Dingtian was left speechless. There were countless ships of various sizes all around them so he couldnt help but ask, There are thousands of people here. When it comes time to host a feast, how will they all fit? How could there only be thousands of people? There are tens of thousands of people. Ximen Wuya continued, Each influential Sect and influential Faction leader is allowed to bring several outstanding disciples to pay their respect on Vast Immeasurable Mountain and stay for the feast hosted in the Yin Yang Main Hall. Each small Faction can only send its leader to pay his/her respects to the Yin Yang Sect. They would leave their gifts and depart halfway up the mountain to have lunch in Large Stone Field. Traveling tens of thousands of kilometers, just to deliver a gift and have lunch. Is it worth it? Yang Dingtian couldnt help but ask. Whether or not it is worth it depends on the thoughts of the people making the journey. Some of them want to take advantage of this occasion to become a disciple of some famous master. Some small factions want to take advantage of the gathering to attach themselves to a famous sect or more influential faction. Some people even want to seize this opportunity to become famous and establish their names. Besides, for this kind of special day, if you come, they might not remember you. But, if you dont come, they might actually remember you. Yang Dingtian once again sucked in a deep breath. Previously, he had already placed the Yin Yang Sects position very highly after listening to Ximen Wuya. He couldnt have imagined that the sects position was far higher than what he had thought. It was so strong that, in the eyes of the people in this world, it could practically be described as a Myth. Furthermore, the worlds three groups are way too high to for most people to reach. An ordinary faction typically would never have the chance to get close to it. This once-a-decade memorial gives them their one and only opportunity to get close. For one day only, the Yin Yang Sects sacred gate is opened for them. How could there be people who wouldnt want to attend? Suddenly, a loud whistle sounded out from behind. Despite having come from a large distance away, the whistle sounded as if it were coming from right next to their ears. Hearing this sound, Ximen Wuyas expression changed slightly. Then, he ordered, Lead the ship to the right. Make way for them. Yang Dingtian was shocked. This Cloud Sky City was such a powerful influence in the world. Countless ships would get out of their way and pay their respects to them, giving them an arrogant appearance. But now, they had to make way for other people? Who was coming through? Its people from the Xuan Sky Sect, Ximen Wuya said lightly. The Xuan Sky Sect that is one of the worlds three groups? Yang Dingtian asked. Ximen Wuya nodded. Yang Dingtian hurriedly looked back. Due to the strong sunlight, he couldnt see any ships, but the whistling sound continued. At the same time, several specks appeared over the distant horizon. These specks got closer and closer until Yang Dingtian could finally see them clearly. It turned out that they were three big snow-white birds. Their wingspans were about 10 meters across, and on top of one of them rode a white-clothed man. The three birds flew in a tight formation and soon passed over Yang Dingtian and the others heads. It was unknown whether this bird was a vulture or a roc. In short, it was a top godly steed. The white-clothed man sitting on top had unsurpassed cleanliness. He was clad in a thick arrogant air as he gazed down at the ships on the sea, seemingly looking at ants. Truly worthy of being called one of the worlds three groups! Such might and influence could simply never be surpassed in the world. How mighty! Is the person on top of the bird Xuan Sky Sects Leader? Yang Dingtian asked. Chapter 15: Chapter 13 – Farewell. The precious present. Chapter 15: Chapter 13 C Farewell. The precious present.Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales How mighty! Is the person on top of the bird Xuan Sky Sects Sect Leader? Yang Dingtian asked. Sect leader? He is merely a disciple clearing the path, riding the bird ahead to warn the boats in front against blocking Xuan Sky Sects way, Ximen Wuya answered. This, this is too overbearing, Yang Dingtian said. Yes, it is extremely overbearing! Ximen Wuya replied coldly. That wasnt all. Yang Dingtian realized that all the boats on the sea had not only opened a pathway for them but had also all stopped, lining up on two different sides as if waiting for Xuan Sky Sects inspection. It was to the extent where the boats that were about to reach the dock immediately turned around to line up on either side of the cleared pathway. The entire bustling harbor was instantly cleared as everyone waited for Xuan Sky Sects ship to pull in to shore. Even the noisy and clamorous sea surface quieted down. Finally, after a few hours, when Yang Dingtians eyes were already strained from looking, only then did Xuan Sky Sects ship arrive. There were exactly ten gigantic ships, each and every one of which were snow-white, classy, and overbearing like cranes standing among chickens. When the snow-white gigantic ships passed by, every boat had their troops standing in line and waved their flags as a sign of respect. However, Xuan Sky Sects snow-white ships did not return any greetings. Each gigantic ship had one disciple clad in white who stared at the boats on both sides coldly. Cloud Sky Citys ship also sent some of its people to wave the flag and give greetings, but not everyone on the deck stood in line. Seeing this, a disciple clad in white on one of Xuan Sky Sects ship gave them a cold glare. Ximen Wuya averted his gaze and even got his people to stop waving their flag. Although this Cloud Sky City Lord was gentle, he was still noble and arrogant deep down. When one of the Xuan Sky Sects disciple saw Cloud Sky Citys response, his face turned cold, and he quickly went down into the ship to report. Ximen Wuya only laughed. Godfather, when we act like this, Im afraid that Xuan Sky Sect will even humiliate us even more during the feast, Ximen Yan said softly. Its okay. Being humiliated by a few words does no harm, Ximen Wuya replied coldly. Xuan Sky Sect is overbearing, but apart from words, how else can they harm me, Ximen Wuya? Though he sounded very calm, he was actually very overbearing. Instantly, Ximen Yans eyes filled with respect. Even Yang Dingtian could not help but admit his admiration. Ximen Wuya was warm and respectful towards the weak, but he didnt bow to those who were strong. He had the demeanor of a true expert. After over an hour, Xuan Sky Sects ships had left the rest far behind as they headed to shore. Only then did the other boats begin to move. ************* Child, we are about to part ways. In the room where Yang Dingtian stayed, Ximen Wuya spoke, Once you enter the Yin Yang Sect, the distance between us would increase by ten thousand miles. But, judging from your talent, I believe that Ill soon be hearing about your legendary exploits after I return to Cloud Sky City. However, I still want to ask you one last question. I would like to betroth Yanyan to you and make you the next Lord of Cloud Sky City. Are you willing to accept my offer? Bang.... It sounded as if someone outside of the door had dropped something. Ximen Wuya ignored it and continued, I will try my best to train you. Ill repeat what I said previously. What the Yin Yang Sect is capable of giving you, its not impossible for me to also give you. Daddy, I dont want.... Ximen Yanyans terrified and furious voice came from outside before the beautiful fiery-red girl rushed in. Get out... Ximen Wuya admonished strictly. Instantly, a strong energy pushed Ximen Yanyans body a few meters away back and out of the room. Then, the door was immediately closed. Ximen Wuya looked at Yang Dingtian with a hopeful gaze, waiting for his final answer. Yang Dingtians heart was a mess and not because he didnt know how to answer. He had already made his decision since the beginning. But, facing Ximen Wuyas warm and hopeful eyes, he couldnt bear to reject him. He admired Ximen Wuya. Ximen Yanyan was also fairly attractive, and her character was even somewhat similar to that of Yang Dingtians girlfriend on Earth. Both were fiery and wild girls, but Li Bijun was much more mature and braver, while Ximen Yanyan was wild but naive. Im so sorry, Ximen City Lord, I cant agree to your proposal. Yang Dingtian gave him a full 90-degree bow. Hmm... Instantly, Ximen Yanyans angry sigh was heard from outside. Aih..... Ximen Wuya sighed again, saying, I knew that this would be your answer, but Im still not satisfied. Then, Ximen Wuya touched Yang Dingtians head and said, Good child, I believe that you will be able to shine in the Yin Yang Sect. When we meet again in the future, remember to show me some mercy.... Yang Dingtian was somewhat embarrassed. You are so powerful. How can I be your opponent? Furthermore, I respect you so much. How could I harm you? Haha.....No one can be sure of what the future will be like, Ximen Wuya replied. Child, I will not force you to reveal your secrets, but I believe that you didnt travel tens of thousands of miles to the Yin Yang Sect just to join it. You must have something more important to do. However, the Yin Yang Sect will be extremely busy for a period of time so you wont be able to meet the important people in the sect. Even I probably wont be able to get through the door. Now, do you have any plans for your next step? Although Yang Dingtian had some ideas, he still shook his head. He truly had no background at all. At first, he simply thought he would just find the Yin Yang Sect Masters wife and pass her the flame accessory. But now, he thought that plan was too na?ve. Relying on just himself, not to mention meeting his masters wife, he couldnt even get through the gates. He definitely couldnt show the flame accessory to some random Yin Yang Sect disciple, tell them that it was the token of love that the Yin Yang Sect Head had given his wife, and that he was the only disciple of the Sect Head, the future Sect Head, and then ask to get in. That way, Yang Dingtian would surely be beaten half to death. On top of that, his master Dongfang Niemie had warned him against disclosing his identity to anyone except for the masters wife and his daughter. Most importantly, news of his master was a great secret, and Yang Dingtian couldnt let anyone know apart from his masters wife. But, I truly have something important to do. I need to hurry and enter the Yin Yang Sect. I need to meet their more important people, Yang Dingtian said cautiously. If you going in like that, I can confirm that you wont even be able to pass through the gate, much less meet anyone important. At first, I would have brought you in with me, but you saw how awkward and special the position of our Cloud Sky City was. You will be part of the Yin Yang Sect in the future. My bringing you in will not only not help but could even harm you. Ive given your problem some thought. One thing you can do is offer a gift at the Yin Yang Sects main gate using the identity of a wandering martial artist. However, there are tens of thousands of people offering gifts, which is why your gift could be thrown aside after a few hours. Hence, you must offer something that is extremely important. Only then will you be able to get the attention of the important people in the Yin Yang Sect. Ximen Wuya took out a fiery red jade pendant from his sleeves and passed it to Yang Dingtian. This is the Li Fire Nine Loop Pendant. This item is extremely well known. It is the personal belonging of the Yin Yang Sects third generation Lord that had gone missing. The sect has already announced to the world that anyone who is able to return this Li Fire Nine Loop Pendant would be granted almost any request. You could ask for any kind of weapon, bomb, or valuable item. You could also enter the Yin Yang Sect for whatever reason. Hence, you only need to give them this Li Fire Nine Loop Pendant. Even the master of the Yin Yang Sect will personally meet you because this item belonged to his ancestor. Ximen Wuya casually brushed the Leave Fire Nine Loop pendant and passed it to Yang Dingtian. You cannot give it to him, daddy. This pendant is your favorite. Youve worn it for several dozen years. Ximen Yanyan had rushed in again. Get out...... Ximen Wuya flicked his sleeve, and Ximen Yanyans entire body was pushed out again. Ximen City Lord, this thing is too precious. I cannot take it. Yang Dingtian quickly returned the fire-like jade pendant. Take it. This thing is only an ordinary toy to me. Keeping it brings no benefit to anyone. It just so happens to be very useful for you., Ximen Wuya insisted. Yang Dingtian still didnt dare receive it. Ximen Wuyas scrunched his eyebrows and said, Take it when I tell you to take it. Theres no need to be so small-minded. Otherwise, I will look down on you. Ximen City Lord, thank you for your kindness. I will definitely repay you in the future. Yang Dingtian could only accept this Li Fire Nine Loop pendant and gave Ximen Wuya a 90-degree bow. This item could really help him get a meeting with his masters wife. Ximen Wuya waved his hands and procured a bag of gold coins for Yang Dingtian. Take this money. It will also more or less help you. Yes! Yang Dingtian accepted the bag of gold coins immediately. Okay, you should go up now. There is a small boat waiting for you outside. Ximen Wuya waved his hands. Yang Dingtian didnt say anything. He bowed again, turned, and left. S~?a??h the N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Wait... Ximen Wuya took out a thin book from his sleeves and passed it to Yang Dingtian. This bookThe Art of the Birth of Yangwas written by a few generations of Cloud Sky City Lords. It is not any high-class martial art treasure, but it teaches the basics of manipulating Energy throughout your body. It is one level higher thanThe Art of Heaven and Earth. Practicing this art when you practice your Energy can help you achieve twice the results with half the effort. In addition, it wont conflict with the Yin Yang Sects martial art. Yang Dingtians hands were practically shaking as he reached out to receive this manual. Although it was very light, to Yang Dingtian, it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Having refused Ximen Wuyas well-intentioned offer to marry his daughter twice, Yang Dingtian was still shown such great favor and charity. Such a deep kindness practically brought Yang Dingtian to tears. Great favors do not need words to express gratitude. Yang Dingtian deeply bowed again, turned, and left the room. Outside, the extremely beautiful Ximen Yanyan was standing by the door, staring at Yang Dingtian with her huge pretty eyes. She saw the things he had in his hands and mocked, So shameless. You really accepted what my daddy gave you. After hearing that, Yang Dingtian wasnt angry, but he nodded and said, Ms. Ximen, take care. Chapter 16: Departing for the Yin Yang Sect Chapter 16: Departing for the Yin Yang SectTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian wasnt angry when he heard these words. He smiled, nodded at her, and said, Ms. Ximen, take care. Go away! I cant stand the sight of you any longer. Since youve slept in my room, Im going to burn all my bed sheets and pillows after you leave... Ximen Yanyan turned her body to ignore him after furiously insulting him. Yang Dingtian finally knew why she was standing outside. It was because he was sleeping in her room. No wonder there was an intoxicating scent. However, this girl was full of wildness. Thus, the cabin was not like those belonging to other girls from rich families. Instead, the cabin was filled with all kinds of books and weapons. The weapons were all perfectly clean and were covered with a certain fragrance. The fascinating fragrance also covered every page of those books. Ximen Yanyan couldnt wait to clean her room after he left. Ms. Ximen, Ill see you later, Yang Dingtian said. There will be no later. The further you go, the better. It would be best if I never saw you again, she huffed. Yang Dingtian smiled at her again before going up on deck and leaving by boat. ****** Yang Dingtian walked in the markets of East Cloud Province. East Cloud Province was the largest city in the east, home to more than a million citizens. The whole city was crowded. The architectural style was similar to that of ancient China, classical and antiquated. However, there were also elements of ancient Western architecture in some of the grand and magnificent buildings. Half of the houses were made of wood, while the other half was made of stone. Inside the city, there were wineries, restaurants, weapon shops, smithies, tailor shops, pharmacies, auction houses, brothels, and more. However, weapon shops, pharmacies, and brothels were the most numerous and prominent. Even the streets in the city were completely paved with bluestone. They were more than ten meters wide, and the houses on both sides of the street lined up neatly. Due to the Yin Yang Sects grand ceremony that it hosted once every ten years, East Cloud Province was currently crowded with innumerable people walking shoulder-to-shoulder. Yang Dingtian did not have time to enjoy the sights in this picturesque city. He went directly to the Ying Yang Sect. The Yin Yang Sect was located in Vast Immeasurable Mountain, which was situated nearly a hundred miles outside East Cloud Province. Yang Dingtian wanted to hire a carriage for himself, but there were too many people going to the Yin Yang Sect. Therefore, he had to crowd in with other people inside a big carriage. Inside, there were seven people besides Yang Dingtian. The carriage wasnt big. It was already crowded enough before he got on, and now it was even more so. He looked around the car once he boarded. Two rows of wooden seats were almost completely filled. There were five young warriors armed with swords, all of whom looked gorgeous in their beautiful suits. There was also an old man dressed in rough clothing. He was short but looked sturdy, had tanned skin just like an old farmer, and was armed with a sword as well. There was one other person, the only girl in the carriage. She wore a red embroidered dress. Her dress was only made with ordinary cloth, but her face was attractive. Her skin was a healthy wheat color, and her bodys shape perfectly matched her red dress. Although she wasnt as glamorous as Ximen Yanyan, she was still attractive enough. At first, these five warriors stared at the red suit girl with fiery gazes. She didnt do anything except frowning and ignoring their impolite stares. Everyone in the carriage turned their heads towards Yang Dingtian as he boarded. He was handsome and wore the robes gifted to him by Ximen Wuya. As a result, the five warriors dared not underestimate him until they realized that no martial artist worth anything would ride this carriage. They showed their disdain for him and shifted their focus back to that girl. After the girl in red gave Yang Dingtian a glance, she bowed her head and kept silent. The old man who looked like a farmer then gave him a big smile, which Yang Dingtian returned with one of his own. Daughter, give this man a spot, the old man told the girl. The girl in red then shifted her waist and hips to create some space and looked at Yang Dingtian warily. Thank you so much! Yang Dingtian gave her a big smile and sat down in the small corner of the wooden bench, trying not to have any physical contact with her. The girls face turned slightly red, and she shyly replied, Youre welcome. It was already crowded, and in comes another one. One of the warriors was jealous of Yang Dingtian, who had managed to get a next to the girl. He yelled loudly at the driver, There are already 8 of us, and you still dont want to depart. How can you try to earn money so shamelessly? Lets go. Lets go! the driver replied. Hearing his hee haw, the two horses started to move, dragging the carriage towards the Yin Yang Sect located in Vast Immeasurable Mountain. Hey, buddy, which martial arts faction are you from? Which family? the warrior wearing the most gorgeous suit suddenly asked. Yang Dingtian replied, I dont belong to any martial arts faction. Im just a nobody. Unexpectedly, the gorgeous warrior became less hostile and felt like they were closer now. Im from the Northwest Qin family. I was following my elders to see the world, but Im not willing to only follow in their footsteps. Therefore, I separated from them after reaching East Cloud Province and am traveling alone. The worlds most famous martial factions numbered 27. Northwest Qin family was ranked number nine. Yang Dingtian then said, So you are a student of a big faction. I salute you! The gorgeous warrior looked happy and waved his hand, saying, Personally, I dont like all this vanity. All my prestige comes from my elders. I always like to rely on myself. Yang Dingtian exclaimed, Youre definitely extraordinary! The gorgeous warrior became even more ecstatic, feeling even closer to Yang Dingtian. He had already boasted several times before Yang Dingtian boarded, but no one else had given him a response. Only Yang Dingtian had. He immediately developed a favorable impression of Yang Dingtian, and his previous hostility towards him diminished greatly. Yin Yang Sect, the worlds first martial arts holy land, is hosting a centennial ceremony festival. Buddy, do you know what the major highlights of this ceremony festival are? Yang Dingtian smiled and replied, I was just about to ask. The first thing to see is, of course, Dongfang Bingling, the worlds most beautiful woman. Our faction, the Northwest Qin family, has a good relationship with the Yin Yang Sect, which is why Ive seen her before. However, not everyone in the world has the fortune to see her, so this time, they can finally see the fairy who descends from the sky. Mate, that kind of beauty, that kind of nobility, really cannot be perfectly described with words. I can guarantee that anyone who sees her will never forget the sight for the rest of his life. Its like being struck by lightning. However, I will warn you not to have any improper thoughts because she is just like a fairy. Shes only there for people to worship. S~?a??h the ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Mate, Im not afraid of you laughing at me. Two years ago, I followed the elders to visit the Gurus of the Yin Yang Sect, and I was fortunate enough to see Ms. Dongfang for a split second. I was stunned for two hours before I got my soul back. When I woke up, I felt like my whole heart had been baptized in holy water. I even broke through, my martial arts having advanced two levels. Yang Dingtian was surprised. Is she really as beautiful as youve described? Of course, Im actually not very good at speaking. Words can only describe one ten-thousandth of her beauty. I really hate how my words are incapable of describing her beauty. Mate, lets make this simple. Do you think the girl next to you is beautiful? Women are always concerned about their appearance. Although the girls head was lowered, she had been listening to their conservation all this time. When the warrior suddenly talked about her, she immediately felt shy. Her face turned red, and her expression became unnatural. Yang Dingtian looked at the girl in red and replied earnestly, Looks like a natural carving. Shes very beautiful. Hearing Yang Dingtians praise, the girl couldnt help but stare at him with her big eyes. Then, her pretty face became even redder, and she quickly looked down again. The warrior then said, This is because you havent see Dongfang Bingling yet. If you saw Ms. Dongfang, the girl next to you would look like dust in comparison. I was a bad guy last time and provoked many beauties. But, ever since I met Ms. Dongfang, Ive found other girls to be just ordinary and am now no longer interested in women anymore. My heart is as pure as a saints, and I only admire Ms. Dongfang. I guess I will probably be lonely for the rest of my life. Yang Dingtian almost couldnt keep himself from laughing out loud. It was funny that this warrior had stared covetously at the girl in red from the very beginning but was now saying that he was pure and unrestrained like a saint. Moreover, if you disregarded than the fact that the girl in red was just wearing ordinary clothes and had skin that was not white enough, you would find that she was actually a very rare beauty. If this beauty had lived on Earth, she would definitely have been the model cover girl printed in major fashion magazines. However, the girls eyes turned red when she heard the gorgeous warrior criticize her this way. She wanted to say something but ultimately couldnt. She looked like she was about to cry. Yang Dingtian was a very compassionate guy who didnt want to see girls cry. He quickly interrupted, Mate, you shouldnt say things like that. The fairy-like Ms. Dongfang must be beautiful and is, perhaps, beyond ones reach. I believe that she has her own beauty. The girl beside me is pure and innocent, which is her own unique beauty. Ms. Dongfang is like a precious flower planted in an elegant flower pot. Of course, she would look tremendously amazing. This girl here could be said to be a magnificent flower standing alone in the dry wilderness, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. She is also a precious beauty. She just doesnt own an elegant flowerpot. The girl in red immediately forgot her despondency after hearing what Yang Dingtian said. Once again, her face turned as red as the dress she was wearing. Her big eyes looked like she was drunk, and she shyly kept stealing glances at him, as if trying to burn his face into her memory. The gorgeous warrior felt discomfited when he saw the girls expression. He was a master of flirting. How dare Yang Dingtian flirt with the girl in front of him! Furthermore, the girl seems to be already impressed by him! However, the strategy Yang Dingtian used was that of a gentleman. It was too late for the gorgeous warrior to take back his words. Thus, he could only double down and say grudgingly, I suppose you really havent seen the world. You will only understand what Ive said the day you see Ms. Dongfang. Yang Dingtian smiled and asked, Then, what about others highlights? Chapter 17: About Dongfang Bingling Chapter 17: About Dongfang BinglingTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian smiled and asked, Then, what about other highlights? Since it was Yang Dingtian who took the initiative to change the subject, the magnificent warrior regained his composure, stood up, and said, The second thing is something that matters to everyone in the world, and that is the Sect Head, Dongfang Niemie... At this moment, the magnificent warrior bowed towards the East, full of admiration and respect. It seemed like he held infinite admiration towards Dongfang Niemie. Whether or not Dongfang Niemie has ended his decade of secluded cultivation. Whether he would come out and allow the people to admire his holy visage. The magnificent warrior suddenly looked wistful and longing. Ten years ago, Dongfang Niemie was the best in the world. He was number one in the world but still cultivated in seclusion. The day he reappears will definitely be the day he breaks through the mundane and becomes immortal. He will not only be the number one warrior in the world but also be the strongest warrior in history. Although this magnificent warrior bragged a lot, Yang Dingtian could definitely see that his admiration and respect towards Dongfang Niemie was real! Furthermore, when he talked about Dongfang Niemie, everyone in the carriage held their breaths. What about the third issue? Yang Dingtian then asked. Of course, the third issue would be the battle between the Lord of Cloud Sky City and the Head of the Yin Yang Sect, the magnificent warrior answered. Yang Dingtian was shocked. Ximen City Lord is going to the Yin Yang Sect for a fight? Come on! We call it a battle. Calling it a fight is so old fashioned. He rolled his eyes at Yang Dingtian and asked, Do you know of Ximen Wuya, the City Lord from Cloud Sky City? Yang Dingtian replied, I just know a little. Its normal to know of him. Ximen City Lord is one of the worlds Gurus. His fame should have spread far, the magnificent warrior declared. But, an unsophisticated warrior like you probably doesnt know about the grudge between Cloud Sky City and the Yin Yang Sect. Four hundred years ago, there were two peerless heroes, Yang Yunxiao and Leng Wuyan. Yang Yunxiao was aggressive like fire while Leng WuYan was cold like ice. They were one Yin and one Yang, a combination that no one in the world could defeat. However, neither of them would concede to the other. Each wanted to inherit the position of Sect Head. After their master died, they started to fight. It was a close match, but Yang Yunxiao lost. He couldnt bear to stay anymore so he left the Yin Yang Sect. Then, he founded Cloud Sky City using his own name and claimed that he represented the true Yin Yang Sect and would one day supplant the one hed left. In just a decade, Cloud Sky City became stronger than ever, even stronger than second-rate sects. However, it was founded by a traitor of the Yin Yang Sect. Although it was strong, it was not listed in the Worlds Famous Factions and was not respected by people at all. Therefore, Yang Yunxiao would challenge the Yin Yang Sect once every ten years, but each time, he lost by merely one move. After losing a third time, he got mad and tried to forcefully wash his veins, which killed him by causing his entire body to explode. Such a hero died at such a young age. After Yang Yunxiaos death, Cloud Sky City became weaker with each succeeding generation. However, the Lord of Cloud Sky City still had to challenge the Yin Yang Sect every ten years for the legitimacy of the true sect. In the beginning, it seemed like there was hope, but Cloud Sky City became weaker and weaker, while the Yin Yang Sect became stronger and stronger. Several decades after the founders death, the Lord of Cloud Sky City couldnt even defeat a third generation disciple of the Yin Yang Sect and became a laughingstock. Each successive decade, the Lord of Cloud Sky City would head to the Yin Yang Sect to submit and to pay respects to his ancestors. Even if they were to eventually become just a small division within the Yin Yang Sect, they still do not wish to become a nobody in the world. The Yin Yang Sect is so proud and arrogant. Even if the Lord of Cloud Sky City got down on his knees to ask for mercy, he would only be disgracing himself further. Therefore, the once-a-decade Yin Yang Sect Big Festival is also the day for Cloud Sky City Lords humiliation, the magnificent warrior explained with a disdainful smile. Yang Dingtian suddenly recalled what Ximen Wuya had said. He had said that he was going to the Yin Yang Sect for routine business and would probably be humiliated. Yang Dingtian didnt understand his meaning until now. Now, he felt pretty sad for Ximen Wuya. Twenty years ago, the previous Cloud Sky Citys Lord, Yang Lie, made a decision that completely changed Cloud Sky Citys destiny. He decided not to pass his position of City Lord to his son. Instead, he stood his ground against popular opinion and passed the position to the son-in-law who had married in, Ximen Wuya. The magnificent warrior continued, Son-in-law. Usually, only the most useless people would marry into and live with their wives families. However, Yang Lies wise decision has increased Cloud Sky City prestige, allowing its reputation to grow again. Ximen Wuya possesses peerless talent. At the age of forty, he has already an unmatched fighter and has beaten the enemies that humiliated Cloud Sky City before. Hes also cowed all the Martial Schools within 1000 kilometers of Cloud Sky City. In a short ten years, hes turned Cloud Sky City into the regional overlord who no one would dare contend with. There is no competitor who can fight Ximen Wuya. He is a genius found only once every hundred years. Based on his capabilities, sooner or later, he will come to challenge the Yin Yang Sect to seize back the position of Master that they lost several hundred years ago. Unfortunately, he had pretty bad luck when he last came for a challenge. He met the once-in-a-millennium Yin Yang Sect Master, Dongfang Niemie. Ten years ago, the Lord of Cloud Sky City came to the Yin Yang Sect to challenge Dongfang Niemie, but it was regrettable that he lost to a single move! After Ximen Wuya was defeated, he returned to Cloud Sky City and worked hard day and night to increase his cultivation by a level. The Master of the Yin Yang Sect even entered seclusion for ten years to cultivate himself. Therefore, this battle is definitely going to be a top level fight and attract worldwide attention, the magnificent warrior narrated in admiration. Everyone in the carriage was riveted by this account, each filled with anticipation towards this heaven-startling fight. The only exception was Yang Dingtian, who knew that this battle was not going to happen because his Master, Dongfang Niemie, had already perished. He didnt expect that the two most famous Gurus were the two people closest to him. This made Yang Dingtian sigh uncomfortably in his heart. For a moment, the carriage was silent due to everyone being lost in fascination regarding the two top Gurus. The girl in red looked at Yang Dingtian and suddenly spoke in a low voice, You can sit a little closer to me. Sitting like that is way too uncomfortable. Alright, sure! Yang Dingtian smiled. Then, he shifted a little closer to the girl in red but still kept a small distance between them. The girl then moved her waist and buttocks, wanting to give him a little bit more room, but her buttocks accidentally brushed against Yang Dingtians body. She felt like shed been electrically shocked, and her earlobes turned red. Yang Dingtian suddenly felt something soft, bouncy and wonderfully elastic brush against him. His face and ears turned red, and he didnt know what to say. The magnificent warrior saw this and became even more jealous. He yelled at the old man, Hey, old man, your daughter is making a move on a man. Im afraid that youre going to have a son-in-law soon. The girl in red felt ashamed and angry. She lifted her head and said, You, youre talking nonsense... Yang Dingtians expression turned cold. Buddy, I held you in high esteem since you are a junior in a famous family. I courteously paid you my respects. Its fine if youre playing a joke on me but please do not bring any disaster to her. Im just a nobody who doesnt care about his own reputation, but this girl is pure and innocent. Her reputation should not be tarnished like this. You are a junior from a famous family. I believe you should have a decent character. So please, I ask that you apologize to this young girl. The magnificent warrior was crushed by Yang Dingtians words. He wanted to get angry but the situation didnt allow for it as Yang Dingtian kept calling him a junior from a famous family. He laughed awkwardly and said, It was my bad. I shouldnt have joked around like that. Yang Dingtian then replied seriously but also teasingly, Buddy, youre truly a junior from a famous family. Youre simple-mannered and also open-minded. The girl in red then looked at Yang Dingtian with her beautiful eyes. Those eyes became even more prominent, and she said in a low voice, Thank you. That old man didnt get angry at all. He simply added, Well, it doesnt matter. Shes just a rural unrefined woman. Causing everyone to ridicule her... Seeing the scenario turn awkward, Yang Dingtian quickly changed the subject. Buddy, is there any other major event that you can share with us to broaden our knowledge? The magnificent warrior hesitated for a while and then showed a mysterious expression on his face before saying, What Im about to say is not a big issue but a secret. However, I truly cannot disclose it because it is a big secret. It should not be shared... On the surface, he was saying that he couldnt say anything. However, he was attentively watching Yang Dingtian and the others, waiting for them to beg him to share. However, Yang Dingtian instead replied, Since youre not allowed to share it, then we shouldnt continue discussing it and make it difficult on you. The magnificent warrior pretended to be conflicted but ultimately couldnt help it and said with a weird smile, The matter Im going to talk about, you guys must never tell anyone else. Otherwise, I will be in big trouble. It is about the marriage of Ms. Dongfang. Yang Dingtians complexion slightly changed. Was Ms. Dongfang going to get engaged? Is Ms. Dongfang going to get engaged? Yang Dingtian asked. No, no... The magnificent warrior shook his head and then looked left and right as if worried someone else would overhear. Then, he continued to talk in a low voice, This time, the Master of Xuan Sky Sect, Zhu Qingzhu brought his son, Zhu Hongxue, to the Yin Yang Sect. While it appears like he is just participating in the festival, he is, in fact, seeking an engagement with the Yin Yang Sect. The muscles on Yang Dingtians forehead trembled as he asked, What is this Zhu Hongxue like? The magnificent warrior was full of envy and frustration, but there was also a bit of admiration. Hes the number one young expert in the world, the worlds most beautiful man, and the worlds number one family heir. What else can be said? Yang Dingtian recalled the Xuan Sky Sects awe-inspiring authority at sea. According to this warrior, Dongfang Bingling was the worlds most beautiful woman, and Zhu Hongxue was the worlds most beautiful man. Both were heirs to the most famous families in the world. It truly seemed like they were a perfect match. S?a?ch* Th? N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. But, it wont be easy for Zhu Hongxue to succeed. The magnificent warrior explained, A junior from the Yin Yang Sect, Leng Ao, is madly in love with Ms. Dongfang. His family background isnt inferior to Zhu Hongxues. His ancestor several generations ago had inherited the position of Yin Yang Sect Master. He is also the nineteenth generation direct-line descendant of Leng Wuyan. His appearance and cultivation arent worse than Zhu Hongxues. People expect him to become the next Yin Yang Sect Master. Furthermore, he is childhood friends with Ms. Dongfang. Therefore, it can be said that he has a higher chance than Zhu Hongxue. Thus, it isnt that easy for Zhu Hongxue to get engaged to the beauty, the magnificent warrior concluded. Yang Dingtian was discomfited, yet he nodded and agreed with what was said. However, he lost any interest in conversing with others. This magnificent warrior still kept on bragging. He bragged about how many people he knew from the Yin Yang Sect, bragged that he was able to call even Leng Ao his senior. He also bragged about how important he was in the Northwest Qin family and many other things. Yang Dingtian merely listened courteously but didnt put pay too much attention to him. After the carriage traveled for two hours... Stop, stop... the magnificent warrior suddenly shouted to stop the carriage. He then said to Yang Dingtian, Buddy, it feels like we are already old friends after our first encounter. If you ever run into any trouble, you can always come to the Northwest Qin Family and look for me! Then, he hurriedly exited the carriage. Yang Dingtian asked doubtfully, Have we arrived at the Yin Yang Sect? Chapter 18: Arriving in the Yin Yang Sect Chapter 18: Arriving in the Yin Yang SectTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales We havent arrived yet! the girl in red replied in a low voice. Then, why did he get off? Yang Dingtian asked. Once we arrive at the Yin Yang Sect, there will be a lot of people around. He is afraid that people will see him riding this public carriage, causing him to lose face. Thats why he got off earlier, one of the warriors answered. Yang Dingtian said, Fair enough. Since he is from the Northwest Qin family, he cannot bring shame to his family. Thats just bullshit, one of the warriors said with a disdainful smile. He is just the son of a servant from the Northwest Qin family and probably doesnt even have the right to use the family name. How dare he call himself Qin Huaiyu. Everyone in the martial arts community knows that hes just a bragging expert. Why the hell would someone from a famous family take a public carriage? Yang Dingtian was slightly surprised by the truth. No wonder Qin Huaiyu didnt give him his name. This dude loved to brag and was lascivious, but he didnt look like a bad guy. Nobody knew how much suffering was hidden behind his smiling face. Suddenly, Yang Dingtian felt sympathy for him and didnt ridicule him like the others. After a while, the four remaining warriors left the carriage one after another. Of course, they hadnt arrived at the Yin Yang Sect but got off earlier to not lose face. Suddenly, the only people left in the carriage were the old man, the red-clothed girl, and Yang Dingtian. After the others left, the girl in red who had felt somewhat restrained, let out a long sigh of relief. Her attitude and posture became naturally relaxed. Her beautiful eyes became a bit bolder as she stared at Yang Dingtian. Her eyes were filled with an intelligence that matched her pretty face. Yang Dingtian only then discovered that her big eyes not only looked shy but also contained a sort of wildness. However, it wasnt the same kind of wildness that Ximen Yanyan had. Rather, it was just the unique type of boldness expressed by a girl who lived in the mountains. The warriors eyes were extremely annoying. If we were in my hometown, I could have dug their eyes out, the girl in red said. Everyone loves beautiful things. They arent bad people, Yang Dingtian said. They only look at you that way because youre beautiful. The red-clothed girls face turned red. You didnt look me at that way. Yang Dingtian replied, I wanted to, but I was too embarrassed. The red-clothed girls face became redder, and her wild eyes turned bolder despite the fact that her father was just sitting right next to her. Yang Dingtian quickly changed the topic. They were all strong. Would you have been able to dig out their eyes? They are just straw bags. They cant beat me, the red-clothed girl stated proudly with her cherry lips raised. Yang Dingtian was quite surprised and questioned, You are that strong? The girl in red shyly replied, Im not that strong, but Im not too weak. It depends on who the opponent is. By the way, dont fully believe what the guy told you before. Everyone knows he loves to brag, the girl in red warned. Yang Dingtian asked, So everything he said was a lie? The red-clothed girl replied, Not really. While they werent lies, he just likes to exaggerate and overstate everything. Furthermore, everyone knows about the matter he mentioned. It wasnt a secret at all. By the way, whats your name? the girl in red boldly asked. My name is Yang Dingtian. The girl in red asked shyly, Why is your name like that? S?a??h the ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. It seemed like she was not that innocent after all. Im Shui Hongshao. My dad is Li Guinong, but I use my moms family name. The old man beside her couldnt help but reveal a warm smile when he heard his daughter impatiently introduce them. Yang Dingtian said, You have a sweet name. Youve never heard of my father? Shui Hongshao asked doubtfully. Yang Dingtian was stunned and wondered if the old man was someone very famous. He shook his head and said, Im quite ignorant of many things. I come from a place with no people. It was even my first time hearing about Zhu Qingzhu. Its not a big deal. My father is quite famous, but it isnt the awe-inspiring kind of fame, but rather a tragic sort of fame, Shui Hongshao said sadly. Why are you going to the Yin Yang Sect? Yang Dingtian replied, Im here to deliver something. Delivering a gift? We also came here to deliver a gift. We traveled from far away just to send this gift. In order to pay for the gift and the travel expenses, we even had to sell much of our paddy fields. Yin Yang Sect is so proud that they wouldnt like our gift, Shui Hongshao said with annoyance. But, I appreciate this opportunity and assume that this is a travel trip for me to see the world as Ive never left home ever since I was born. Afterwards, Shui Hongshao kept talking to Yang Dingtian. He slowly discovered that the old man and the girl had come from Wooden Sword Castle from the Ping Liang Province. Li Guinong was unexpectedly the Master of Wooden Sword Castle. What surprised Yang Dingtian the most was that this Wooden Sword Castle was actually one of the twenty-seven factions, one of the Worlds Famous Factions. However, this glory was all in the past. The faction has since fallen into poverty, to the point where its about to be removed from the list. The purpose of their journey from far away to deliver these gifts was to get the Yin Yang Sect to help Wooden Sword Castle stay on that list. The more they talked, the more Yang Dingtian understood Shui Hongshao. Even though she was a girl from a rural place, she was still not only incredibly smart, pure, and innocent but also bold with her brand of wildness. As they traveled, time seemed to pass quickly, and after around half an hour, they arrived at the Yin Yang Sect. Yang Dingtian exited the carriage and told Li Guinong and his daughter, Master Lee, Ms. Shui, see you around! I hope you can resolve your matter smoothly! He had already secretly decided that, once he joined the Yin Yang Sect, he find a chance to say good things about Wooden Sword Castle to his Masters wife and help them recover the ranking earned by their ancestors. Li Guinong replied, I wish Mr. Yang a bright future. Shui Hongshao was somewhat reluctant to say goodbye and said in her low voice, When youre free in the future, you must come to Wooden Sword Castle to visit us. Sure! Yang Dingtian smiled, turned, and left. Shui Hongshao stood still in one place. Even after she could no longer see Yang Dingtians back, she was still unwilling to leave. Her father, Li Guinong, who was standing beside her, smiled and said, Little girl, you have good taste, but its regrettable that he holds lofty ambitions and wont see us as anything special. Immediately, Shui Hongshaos face turned red. She looked at her dad and said, Dad, what the hell are you talking about? Who would fancy him? ***************** The Yin Yang Sect was located on Vast Immeasurable Mountain, and its front gate was located halfway up the mountain. After leaving the carriage at the foot of the mountain, there were still a dozen kilometers to walk before one reached the mountain gate. Yang Dingtian estimated that the gate was located at an altitude of three thousand meters above sea level. The weather in Eastern Cloud Province wasnt cold, and it was instead warm at the foot of the mountain. However, halfway up the mountain, everything was coated in silvery-white snow. Vast Immeasurable Mountain was so big that the vertical distance from the foot of the mountain to the midpoint was already 3000 meters. However, the blue stone road leading to the top stretched for dozens of kilometers. Along the way, there were countless people walking side by side. Most of them were factionless warriors or disciples of small factions who were only eligible to send their gifts to the front gate. Having arrived at the front gate of the Ying Yang Sect, Yang Dingtian once again felt intense shock. At the end of the winding stone path was the front gate of the Yin Yang Sect. This mountain gate surprisingly turned out to be a crack in the mountain that measured many meters wide. The mountain wall was around forty to fifty meters high and made Yang Ding Tian feel incredibly small as he stood under the huge mountain gate. What was more surprising was that the crack that was dozens of meters wide and over forty meters high was actually created by a sword. This fact was proven by the sword marks left over from the gates creation. In front of the mountain gate, there was a gigantic stone field that was currently filled with several hundred tables surrounded by people and laden with food and drink. Once a group around one table left, the table would immediately be cleaned, and another group would replace them. Moreover, there were nine long lines stretching back from the entrance filled with people holding different kind of gifts. These people were just factionless nobodies without any status. They didnt even have the qualification to enter the Yin Yang Sect. Therefore, they could only leave their gift at the entrance and join the banquet. Afterwards, they quickly descended the mountain. Even though they received such bad treatment, it didnt dissuade more people from coming. Sighing, Yang Dingtian found a shorter queue and went to the back, waiting to present his gift. After waiting for exactly an hour, it was finally Yang Dingtians turn. He took out the Li Fire Nine Loop Pendant that Ximen Wuya had given him to gain access to the Yin Yang Sect and see Masters wife. The Li Fire Nine Loop Pendant was so precious and it was definitely going to be the most valuable gift of the day. The one receiving the gifts was unexpectedly not a disciple from the Yin Yang Sect but rather just an ordinary servant. After receiving the gift, the servant asked expressionlessly, Name, faction, type of gift? Yang Dingtian, no faction, Li Fire Nine Loop Pendant. The servants complexion changed immediately. He looked up at Yang Dingtian and announced coldly, Li Fire Nine Loop Pendant? Get him out of here. Whip him 30 times before expelling him from the mountain. Announce to the world that no faction is allowed to let him join. Instantly, four bulky warriors stepped forward, intending to escort Yang Dingtian away. Yang Dingtian shouted angrily, What is the meaning of this? Is this how you treat people bringing gifts? The servant replied coldly, Even if you only gifted us a goose feather, we would ask you to join the banquet. But, youre trying to lie, which is an insult towards the Yin Yang Sect. Whipping and banning you can already be considered a light punishment. Ying Yang Tian said, How did I lie? The servant replied, Youre the 99th person to gift us the Li Fire Nine Loop Pendants today. A servant nearby opened a box that was filled with Li Fire Nine Loop Pendants. They all looked exactly the same as the one Yang Dingtian gifted. Seeing this, Yang Dingtian couldnt help and feel funny. The Yin Yang Sect had been searching for the Li Fire Nine Loop Pendant for a long time. As a result, many warriors grasped this opportunity to try to gift a fake one, which got Yang Dingtian in trouble. Mine is real, Yang Dingtian said. 55 other people also said the same thing, the servant rebutted expressionlessly. Escort him out and whip him. Immediately, the four warriors grabbed Yang Dingtians arms and forcefully pushed him to the ground. How dare you? Yang Dingtian roared angrily and prepared to fight. Hold on... Suddenly, a cold voice sounded out. A snow-white shadow drifted in front of them like the wind. Immediately, everyone present kneeled. This person was a real disciple of the Yin Yang Sect. The Yin Yang Sect disciple took Yang Dingtians Li Fire Nine Loop Pendant and inspected it under the sunlight. His complexion immediately changed, and he looked startled. Chapter 19: Meeting Master’s wife Chapter 19: Meeting Masters wifeTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales The Yin Yang Sect disciple took the Li Fire Nine Loop Pendant that Yang Dingtian had gifted and inspected it under the sunlight. His was startled and his complexion changed. Revealing a surprised face, he declared, This is the real Li Fire Nine Loop Pendant. Release this honored guest! Immediately, a commotion broke out as everyone reacted in shock. The long-lost Li Fire Nine Loop Pendant had unexpectedly reappeared. In addition, it was brought by a weak-looking young man. Everyone looked at Yang Dingtian enviously. This is the real thing. Ive received the real Li Fire Nine Loop Pendant today. The servant that receiving the gifts was extremely excited. He then stood up and bowed gratefully towards Yang Dingtian. Thank you, thank you. I can finally become a disciple, hahahaha.... The disciple from the Yin Yang Sect who identified the Li Fire Nine Loop Pendant looked at Yang Dingtian and said, Please come with me. Yang Dingtian shook himself free from the four stunned warriors and followed the Yin Yang Sect disciple. He walked through the Yin Yang Sects main entrance under the gazes of numerous envious eyes. Wow! The Yin Yang Sect was so beautiful! It was so majestic! The beautiful buildings were built along the mountainside reaching all the way to the top. The walls were filled with jade carvings. The roads were paved with white stones. White smoke enveloped the mountains, and many rare living things roamed around leisurely. It wasnt the type of scenery one could see in the mundane world. It was ten thousand times more beautiful than the Hanging Garden on Earth. Had such a place existed there, it would have definitely been one of the worlds wonders. Excuse me, who are you taking me to? Yang Dingtian asked. You will know when you arrive, the Yin Yang Sects disciple replied. I would like to see Master Dongfangs wife. I have another gift that is ten thousand times more precious than the Li Fire Nine Loop Pendant, Yang Dingtian said. The Yin Yang Sect disciple frowned. Even I cant see the Masters wife. What makes you think youre qualified? No matter how precious your gift is, you are not qualified to see the Masters wife. There will be someone receiving you. You will get the benefits youve earned. Yang Dingtian said, If you can only bring me to the Masters wife and let me offer the gift on my own, I promise that you will gain lots of benefits as well. This golden opportunity is something youll only encounter once your entire life. You will regret it forever if you let is pass by. The Yin Yang Sects disciple then stopped and hesitated for a while. You can give me the gift and let me hand it over to the Masters wife. Shell decide if she wants to see you. The disciple was truly tempted, not just because he believed what Yang Dingtian had said. He personally had never seen the Masters wife. Meeting her would be an incredibly glorious event. However, he couldnt confirm if Yang Dingtians gift was worthy. Trust me. If the gift is given by you, you wont receive any benefit, Yang Dingtian said. The Yin Yang Sect disciple struggled for a moment. I can give it a try, but I must warn you that if the gift you brought is not good enough, the benefits you would have received for bringing the Li Fire Nine Loop Pendant will be revoked. Sure, no problem! Yang Dingtian replied. ... After half an hour, the Yin Yang Sect disciple brought Yang Dingtian to a pink wall. During the journey, they passed by numerous houses, innumerable pavilions, and countless people. In the middle of the pink wall was an arched entrance. An intoxicating fragrance scent was drifting out from the inside. There were two girls in red standing in front of the entrance. Their faces were beautiful like jade. Even though they were only gate guards, it was undeniable that they were beauties found only once among ten thousand women. The Yin Yang Sect disciple stepped forward and greeted them respectfully, talking with a soft voice to inform them of Yang Dingtians request to see Master Dongfangs wife to deliver a gift. He followed by giving them the Li Fire Nine Loop Pendant. After listening to him, the more voluptuous girl frowned slightly. She then scolded the disciple, causing him to bow lower and lower. In the end, the girl took the Li Fire Nine Loop Pendant and walked inside. The disciple then walked back to Yang Dingtian, let out a long sigh, and said, If your gift isnt good enough, Ill be done for as well. How could I have been blinded by potential benefits into taking this risk with you? Yang Dingtian smiled and answered, Youll soon be grateful. After about ten minutes, the beautiful voluptuous girl approached Yang Dingtian and asked, Are you the one presenting the gift? Yes. Its me, Yang Dingtian replied. Please come with me. The voluptuous girl walked inside directly, swaying her hips back and forth as she moved. Even though she was voluptuous, her waist was thin. It was only her buttocks that looked plump. While walking, her waist and buttocks were extremely attractive when coupled with the rest of her figure. Yang Dingtians eyes were fixated on her as he followed. After crossing the wall, he saw a huge snow-white jade screen covered with words. Yang Dingtian was very familiar with the handwriting because it belonged to his master, Dongfang Niemie. Immediately, he slowed his pace. After passing the jade screen, Yang Dingtians eyes lit up. Outside the gate, the mountain was covered with snow and ice. After entering the Yin Yang Sect through the gate, you could see countless magnificent buildings. However, those buildings were all one color: snow-white. Every inch was covered by white snow. However, past the jade screen was a completely different world. The place was painted in glossy green, brilliant red, and all the other colors of the rainbow. This was a land filled with fresh green grass, luxuriant trees, colorful flowers, and pools of dark green. There were butterflies dancing in the air and birds flittering among the trees. Everything past the screen was completely different from the outside. There was only icy-cold white snow outside while the inside was full of green, like a place enjoying the bounties of the warm spring. It just like a little land of joy of plenty. When the wind blew against his face, he felt warm. It was minus ten degrees Celsius outside but was at least ten degrees above zero in here. A dozen red buildings towered over the green landscape. Each building and person here seemed like something out of a painting. s?a??h th? n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Passing through the garden, Yang Dingtian could see a stone arch at the edge of a pond. The white bridge stretched out to the center of the pond. In the middle of the pond, there was a luxurious pink-colored building. The voluptuous girl brought Yang Dingtian through the arch and stopped at the entrance of the building. Please go in, she told him. Remember, only look down at your own feet after entering, she said before leaving. Yang Dingtians heart started to thump rapidly at the entrance as he knew he was going to meet his Masters wife soon. After he took a long breath to control his excitement and anxiety, he finally took his first step. The door behind him closed automatically. It was completely pink inside the building, and the soft carpet he stepped onto felt like as soft as a cloud. He was in a living room, which had a table and a few chairs placed in the center. The walls were decked with all sorts of beautiful flowers. But, there was nobody inside. Yang Dingtian walked to the center and shouted, Yang Dingtian, here to visit auntie. Are you the one who sent me the Li Fire Nine Loop Pendant? Thank you so much. A soft, pleasant voice suddenly sounded in his ears. The voice gave one the feeling of a pair of small hands comfortably caressing ones body. What do you want? the soft voice asked. Im here to present another gift, auntie, Yang Dingtian replied. What gift? Just an ordinary ornament. A flame ornament..., Yang Dingtian stated. Ahhh... A shocked voice sounded out from within, followed by the sound of something falling to the ground and breaking. You, you lift it up. Let me have a look! the woman said with a trembling voice. Yang Dingtian unclasped the ornament from around his neck and lifted it up. There was a sobbing sound, and then a pink figure shrouded in a fragrant scent rushed out from within and arrived before Yang Dingtian. She quickly took the flame ornament from Yang Dingtians hand and held it tightly to her chest. Sobbing, she choked out, Youve finally come. Youve finally come. Ive been waiting for ten years and it finally came... Yang Dingtian was stunned. He looked to the woman in front of him disbelievingly. How could someone be this beautiful? He had read many novels back on Earth that used many exaggerated adjectives to describe beauties. He had seen countless cover models, beauty queens, and pretty actresses, but none of them were able to meet the standards of the descriptions used in novels. But now, Yang Dingtian felt like those novels were insufficient to describe the beauty in front of him. He had totally no idea how to describe this woman. That was the kind of beauty that words couldnt describe and no one would believe. It was not just her appearance, because only part of ones beauty was determined by facial features. However, the implicit charm of her temperament had no limit. The beauty of this woman could reach into the deepest parts of ones heart and soul, shaking ones entire spirit. Her personality exuded both the shyness of an eighteen-year-old teen and the enchanting glamor of a mature woman. Seeming to be simultaneously pure and innocent as well as flirtatious, she radiated the whole package. No one could guess this womans age. People wouldnt forget her appearance even after ten to twenty years. Wearing a long gown with a brocade, her tender body moved like a willow tree. Her bodys perfect curves also couldnt be described easily with words. He, where is he? the stunning woman asked. Yang Dingtian finally woke up from his intoxication towards the beauty. Taking a deep breath, he answered, He, hes already gone. Telling himself this was his Masters wife, Yang Dingtian warned himself against any improper thoughts towards her. Gone? What do you mean? The stunning womans entire body trembled slightly and her dreamy eyes filled with fear. Master.... he, hes dead. Yang Dingtians eyes immediately turned red. Yang Dingtians body seemed to lose its strength. The same occurred with the stunning woman, who fainted after hearing the grievous news. Yang Dingtian quickly caught her body. The moment he touched her, he was able to feel her smooth and soft features. The elasticity of her skin gave him an incredible feeling. Auntie, auntie..... Yang Dingtian supported her thin waist and shouted anxiously. The unconscious woman was able to barely open her sweet eyes after a few minutes. Her charming eyes looked like those belonging to a child who had just woken from a nightmare. She was lost and terrified. The sad thing was that the nightmare was real. After learning this truth, the fear turned to infinite grief. Crystal-clear tears fell from her beautiful eyes, sliding down her jade-white face. ****** Chapter 20: First Meeting with Dongfang Bingling, a Heartmoving Moment Chapter 20: First Meeting with Dongfang Bingling, a Heartmoving MomentTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales She only silently sobbed with infinite sorrow. There was no loud wailing or heartbroken yelling. However, her sadness far exceeded both of these extremes. The stunning woman let out her first cry ten minutes later. Desperately, she said, Ten years, Ive been waiting for ten years only to receive this news. Yang Dingtian should have consoled her but he couldnt find any suitable words. The only thing he could do was join in the sad atmosphere. Did he die in pain? the woman separated from Yang Dingtian and asked. Yang Dingtian replied, Master died with honor! The woman then spoke softly, Thats great. Thats great. Then, the woman looked at Yang Dingtian with her charming eyes and asked, You call him Master? Yes, Yang Dingtian replied. We met two years ago and he accepted me as his disciple four months ago. Immediately, the way the woman looked at Yang Dingtian became more gentle. Did he leave any words before he passed? Dongfang Niemie last wishes were: First, Yang Dingtian would assume the position of heir to the Yin Yang Sect. The sect will then take full responsibility for his cultivation. Second, his daughter Dongfang Bingling would be betrothed to Yang Dingtian. When Yang Dingtian recalled his Masters last words, his face turned slightly red. He was too embarrassed to repeat the words. Master said that as long as the moth ornament is joined with the flame ornament, his last words will appear. Immediately, the woman quickly pulled the front of her dress to the side a bit. A part of her seductive snow-white bosom revealed itself along with a delicate moth ornament. Yang Dingtians heart jumped, and he immediately looked away. The woman then took off her moth ornament and held it against the flame ornament in her right hand, forming the combination of the moth being drawn to the flame. Immediately, a string of characters emerged, floating in the air. Seeing her husbands familiar handwriting again, her tears started to drop like rain. These few sentences werent too long, but the woman read them again and again until the words in the air faded. The woman then again began to cry loudly. Little kid, come over here. Let me get a proper look at you, she said. Yang Dingtian then turned his body to face the woman. Her slim hand gently touched his face, and she spoke in a soft voice, Thank you so much for accompanying him in the last moments of his life. From today onwards, were family. Your Masters last words stated that first, I should not ask about your origins. Second, I should nominate you for the position of heir of the Yin Yang Sect. Third, little Bingling should be betrothed to you. I will make it happen. Starting from today, Ill entrust Bingling to you. Yes, auntie! Yang Dingtian replied. From today onwards, the Yin Yang Sect will also be entrusted to you. Yes, auntie! Yang Dingtian replied. From today onwards, your Masters life mission will also be entrusted to you. Yes, auntie! Yang Dingtian replied. From today onwards, auntie... will also be entrusted to you. the woman said, her face turning red and her voice softening. Yang Dingtian was slightly shocked but repeated, Yes, auntie! S?a?ch* Th? Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. You still havent seen your Apprentice Sister Bingling. Ill ask her to come and see you immediately. After all, you two will be husband and wife. Immediately, Yang Dingtians face turned completely red. Theres nothing to be embarrassed about. Your Master is used to being unreasonable and unruly, she said while walking towards the door. The swaying of her perfect body was definitely ten thousand times more attractive than the voluptuous beauty from before. However, Yang Dingtian did not dare look and kept his eyes on his feet. Arriving at the door, she opened the door and ordered, Bring the young lady here. Yes! The voluptuous woman that brought Yang Dingtian here immediately replied. Masters wife then walked to the living room and sat down. She asked Yang Dingtian about the days Yang Dingtian had spent with Dongfang Niemie. After a couple of minutes, a clear and pleasant voice came in from the outside, Mom, Im here. Dongfang Bingling, the rumored number one beauty in the world, was here. His fiance had arrived. Immediately, Yang Dingtians heart began jumping so fast until it felt like it was about to jump out of his chest. ****** The moment Dongfang Bingling entered the room, the room seemed to brighten. Her face resembled her mothers, especially the shape. However, they differed greatly in terms of temperament. Her mother had a gentle, attractive, and charming appearance. Dongfang Bingling had a sharp, cold face and was as beautiful as a flower. They both had extraordinary appearances. Her mothers eyes were pretty like water while Dongfang Binglings eyes were sharp like a winter night, making people feel unworthy. Her mother had a rosy complexion. Her skin looked peachy. Dongfang Binglings skin was white and was the epitome of the phrase perfect snow-white skin. Her body wasnt as voluptuous as her mothers, but she was a little bit taller and had a pair of beautiful legs, which made her figure look more amazing. Her mom had a delicate nose, while Dongfang Binglings looked like it was carved from jade, filled with her strong personal determination. The servants son from the Northwest Qin family hadnt lied. She was definitely the number one beauty in the world. Although she looked like her mother, they were two completely different extraordinary beauties. Masters wife was like an image found in a dream, while Dongfang Bingling was like a jade sculpture. She made people feel unworthy and afraid of sullying her with their minds. Dongfang Bingling noticed Yang Dingtian as soon as she walked in. She was immediately a little confused because she had never seen a strange man alone with her mother in this place. When this number one beauty glanced at him, Yang Dingtian immediately felt her gaze pierce him, and his heart started to tremble. Little Bing, your dad has passed away! Masters wifes eyes immediately turned red and leaked tears when she saw her daughter enter. Dongfang Bingling stopped moving in shock. Then, her face paled. Her charming eyes immediately filled with tears, and she quickly ran to hug her mother. Masters wife cried pitifully into her daughters chest. Although Dongfang Binglings eyes were now filled with tears, they didnt leak out. Only her small petal-like lips lost all traces of blood. They looked transparent, exactly like carved ice. After a few moments, Masters wife raised her head and pointed at Yang Dingtian. Little Bing, this is your Apprentice Brother. He was with your dad throughout the last year of his life. Dongfang Binglings slender and perfect body slowly moved and leaned forward, giving a ritual bow. Her waist was really attractive, resembling a moving willow. Although she didnt possess big boobs, what she had still caught ones eyes. Thank you, Apprentice Brother. Dongfang Bingling raised her head and showed her perfect face. Tearfully looking at Yang Dingtian with her beautiful eyes, she asked, Apprentice Brother, could you please tell me the entire story in detail? When she started talking, her petal-like lips resembled a piece of ice, seeming like they would melt if someone kissed it. A fresh scent wafted over as the words left her mouth. Certainly, Yang Dingtian replied. He then started to narrate from the very beginning. Of course, he didnt disclose certain things. He didnt tell her that he had transmigrated from Earth and possessed the Nine Yang body. He also didnt tell her Masters final words. I thank Apprentice Brother very much for being at my fathers side during his last moments as it should have been my responsibility. The normally cool Dongfang Bingling now looked at Yang Dingtian more gently. From today onwards, Apprentice Brother, you can just act as if this is your home. We can share the responsibility of supporting the sect. After hesitating for a moment, Masters wife said, Little Bing, your dad had some final words. The first thing was making your Apprentice Brother the heir to the Yin Yang Sect. Secondly, he wanted to betroth you to your Apprentice Brother. After she finished talking, Masters wife worriedly looked at Dongfang Bingling. Immediately, Dongfang Binglings body trembled, and a hint of a blush finally colored her jade-like cheeks. She then couldnt help but look at Yang Dingtian. Previously, she had just quickly glanced over him, but after her mothers words, she finally carefully inspected him. Yang Dingtian warned himself to stay cool and not humiliate himself. However, Dongfang Binglings gaze made him tremble, causing his face to turn red. This extraordinary beautys stare was powerful. Even a tougher guy with stronger determination would melt under her gaze. Coincidentally, she also looked like a beauty made of ice. No wonder all the youngster in the world were in love with her and conferred upon her the title of number one beauty in the world, hailing her as a Fairy. Her beauty and temperament unsurprisingly enamored countless men. Little Bing, this is what your father wished. Do you have anything to say? Masters wife asked. Dongfang Bingling again looked at Yang Dingtian. She lowered her face, pursed her delicate lips, and just when she was about to answer, footsteps suddenly could be heard from outside. Madam, the Ximen City Lord from Cloud Sky City brought his daughter here to pay a visit, a warrior outside said respectfully. Immediately, Masters wife wiped away her tears and tidied up her hair. Young man, you need to go to the back room for a moment. Your Apprentice Sister and I need to see a guest and it would be inconvenient for you to be here. Yes, auntie, Yang Dingtian replied. He then walked into the room in the back. It wasnt a big room, but it had a comfortable wooden couch and a small table. On top of the table was some unfinished stitch work, probably the madams handwork. Yang Dingtian didnt dare pick it up. The entire room was decorated simply yet comfortably. The madams intoxicating scent covered everything. As a man, Yang Dingtian refused to sit down as he was afraid of sullying the place. ... After a few minutes, the familiar voice of Ximen Wuya could be heard outside. The unworthy disciple, Ximen Wuya, greets Sects Masters wife. His appellation was a little odd as he didnt call himself the Lord of Cloud Sky City, but rather an unworthy disciple. Chapter 21: Only Me and You, The Sweetest Moment Chapter 21: Only Me and You, The Sweetest MomentTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales The unworthy disciple, Ximen Wuya greets Sects Masters wife. His appellation was a little odd as he didnt call himself the Lord of Cloud Sky City, but rather an unworthy disciple. Apprentice Brother Ximen, its been 10 years since we last met, and I really missed you. Was your journey here smooth? Masters wife spoke gently with a trace of intimacy, calling Ximen Wuya Apprentice Brother. It was okay, but there was a delay due to some trivial matters. That is why I only managed to arrive today, Ximen Wuya said. Yanyan, greet Auntie Dongfang and Apprentice Sister Dongfang. Ximen Yanyan reluctantly bowed and responded in a not-so-friendly manner, Greetings to Auntie Dongfang and Apprentice Sister Dongfang. Masters wife lifted Ximen Yanyan and praised her gently, Yanyan is really beautiful. Ive never seen such a beautiful girl like you. s?a??h th? N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Im not as pretty as Apprentice Sister Dongfang. People call her an angel, Ximen Yanyan replied. Dongfang Bingling didnt care about Ximen Yanyans words. She stepped forward and bowed. Niece greets Uncle Ximen. Youre welcome, Ximen Wuya replied. Yang Dingtian was somewhat surprised by his attitude toward Dongfang Bingling. He thought that Ximen Wuya would also compliment Dongfang Bingling or even say something polite like how his daughter was far behind her. But, who could have known that Ximen Wuyas reply would simply be youre welcome? Then, Ximen Wuya asked, Has Master Dongfang left seclusion? Masters wife said, Not yet. Ximen Wuya continued, Then, when will the Master be out of seclusion? Before the madam could reply, Dongfang Bingling cut in, Father will come out whenever he sees fit. As for the exact month and date, we really have no idea. However, the Yin Yang Sect will still accept the challenge. A few of our elders are able to battle. Dongfang Bingling said, Even the younger generation could battle. If necessary, I would also participate. Even the hidden Yang Dingtian could feel Dongfang Binglings aggressive attitude. Hey, why are you so arrogant? Ximen Yanyan asked coldly. It wont be necessary. No one among the younger generation in Cloud Sky City is capable of fighting Dongfang Bingling, Ximen Wuya interrupted. Since Master has not come out of seclusion, lets just forget about the battle. Ill just announce to the outsiders that we fought and I lost, just like I did ten years ago. Yang Dingtian was shocked by this revelation. The belief that Ximen Wuya had lost to Dongfang Niemie was actually false as theyve never even fought before. Thank you. Ill remember this favor, Dongfang Bingling said calmly. Ximen Wuya rebutted, This isnt a favor. I couldnt defeat Master Dongfang ten years ago, not to mention now. Both parties then fell silent. Even the hidden Yang Dingtian could sense an extraordinary relationship between them. They seemed to be simultaneously close and distant. During his journey to the Yin Yang Sect, Ximen Wuya had seemed to be somewhat affectionate towards the sect. At the same time, he seemed a little envious. However, currently, Ximen Wuya was polite, proud, and aloof. It was obvious that the gentle madam wanted to end this awkward situation, but she wasnt good at this kind of conversation. She opened her mouth a couple of times, and yet, ultimately found no words to say. Eventually, Ximen Yanyan broke the silence. Dongfang Bingling, the rumors say that youre going to get engaged to Zhu Hongxue. Although Yang Dingtian couldnt see her, he could picture her mouth saying this. These two pretty girls seemed to be born enemies. What about them? Since when did you become a gossip girl? Dongfang Bingling shot back. Masters wife hesitated for a moment before saying, Bingling has a contractual marriage arranged by her father. Yang Dingtians heart jumped when he heard this. Ximen Wuya smiled and asked, Is that so? I wonder who Master pinned his hopes on. Masters wife laughed and replied, You will see him soon. Soon, both parties fell silent again. Eventually, Ximen Wuya stood up and said, If theres nothing else, we will be leaving first. Masters wife said, Alright, weve prepared a separate room for Apprentice Brother Ximen. I hope you have a good rest. The madam and Dongfang Bingling left to see Ximen Wuya out. However, only Dongfang Bingling came back. She walked to the back room. My mother is escorting Lord Ximen to his abode. Apprentice Brother, let me bring you to your place. Yang Dingtian followed her, leaving the building and the madams warm garden. They exited the arches to the north. The environment was once again covered in snow. The scenery here was completely different. There were no houses. There was only a steep snow-covered mountain road flanked on both sides by trees. The higher they climbed, the steeper it became. The area was so remote that there was no one else there. The place looked like a completely abandoned part of the mountain. Dongfang Bingling was walking in front with Yang Dingtian following right behind of her. Her beauty became more and more apparent with each minute he spent with her. He couldnt fathom how a womans backside could be so attractive and how the curves of her waist and hips could be so wonderful. Both of them remained silent, and the mountain road eventually became extremely steep. Dongfang Bingling was aware that the curves of her waist and hips were on display. However, she didnt seem to care and did not ask Yang Dingtian to walk in front of her or to not look. After walking for over an hour, they reached the other side of the mountain. However, Yang Dingtian was not tired. Instead, he felt that time had flown by in the blink of an eye and wished that the journey didnt have to come to an end. He was a bit confused about the reason he was allocated such a remote place bereft of people. The buildings design did not seem to conform to the Yin Yang Sects architectural style. They had reached their destination. It was the top of a hill on the other side of the mountain. This place had been leveled into a flat ground upon which a stone house was built. This is the place that my father often stayed. No one has lived here in the past 10 years, Dongfang Bingling said. Dongfang Bingling then opened the door. It was a simple house. Thick carpets covered the floor, and a short square table sat in the middle. There were no chairs. The four walls were lined with full bookshelves. The room was also filled with lots of candles. Dongfang Bingling walked forward and lit a candle. She burned some incense, filling the house with warmth and a fragrant scent. Theres a natural hot spring behind the house. Apprentice Brother, you can head there if you wish to bathe. Dongfang Bingling asked, Do you need a maid? No need, he replied. Alright, then Ill assign someone to send you clothes and meals. All of the books here belonged to my father. None of our disciples are allowed to read them, but Apprentice Brother is allowed to read every single book here. Apprentice Brother, do you need anything else? I can assign someone to arrange it for you, Dong Fang Bingling asked. No, its already good enough. Rest well, Apprentice Brother. Ill get someone to send you clothes and a meal soon. Ill be busy for the next three days so I might not have time to talk to you. In three days, well discuss some serious matters. Yang Dingtians heart was pounding as he nodded his head. Then, Ill leave first. Dong Fang Bingling said, walking out the stone house. See you, Apprentice Brother, she said. She raised her leg, and suddenly, her figure was already a few dozen meters away. After a few more moves, her delicate figure had completely disappeared from view. Yang Dingtian was shocked by this display. Apprentice Sister appeared to be very strong. Just to match his pace, she actually spent an hour to reach here. In reality, she could have arrived in a few minutes with her cultivation. Looking in the direction where Dongfang Bingling had disappeared, Yang Dingtian started to feel a fuzzy, as if everything that had happened to him was all a dream. Such a beautiful, angelic girl with a body of pure skin was actually his fiance. Yes, she was frosty, but towards Yang Dingtian, she had tried her best to show some warmth. Now, Yang Dingtian was filled with a sweet feeling. Back in the stone house, Yang Dingtian randomly picked up a book to read under the candlelight. He was trying very hard to concentrate but ultimately, could not focus because he could not stop thinking about her body figure. This was the most beautiful and most powerful girl in the world. This was the purest and noblest girl in the world. This was the fairy girl that all men in the world dreamed of, but she had become his fiance. In this world, Yang Dingtian had nothing before all this. His Master, Dongfang Niemie, was the one that closest to him, but he was gone now. Perhaps, this girl was now his most important person in the world. Not knowing how long it had been, Yang Dingtian looked up to see that the sky was already dark. However, he had been unable to read a single word this entire time. Suddenly, an exotic fragrance assailed the nostrils. Yang Dingtian raised his head and saw Dongfang Bingling come with a food container. It was incredible that she had brought the meal herself instead of asking a maid to do so. She walked to Yang Dingtian and sat in front of him. Her waist and hip folded into a sexy posture. She opened the food container and placed all the still-warm delicate dishes on the table. There was also a pot of wine and a small wooden barrel filled with fragrant rice. I got the kitchen to make this for you. I dont know if it will suit your taste, Dongfang Bingling said. Im pretty sure that Ill like it, Yang Dingtian replied. Indeed, the extraordinary beauty in front of him had already whetted his appetite. Even if he were served the worst food, it would still taste delicious. There werent many dishes, just five in total, but each was very exquisite. Yang Dingtian realized that these dishes didnt just look appetizing but were actually very delicious. The wine was the same in this aspect. Yang Dingtian enjoyed his meal and wine, while Dongfang Bingling sat right in front of him, looking at him. Apprentice Sister, would you like to have some? Yang Dingtians heart was full of expectation and eagerly awaited her answer. Sure. Dongfang Bingling picked up a pair of jade chopsticks and put a piece of vegetable into her crystal jade-like mouth. Would you like to have a drink? Yang Dingtian asked. Sure. Dongfang Bingling replied. Chapter 22: Do You Like Me? Apprentice Brother Yang Chapter 22: Do You Like Me? Apprentice Brother YangTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian was surprised, and he poured her a glass of wine. She took a sip gently and drained half of the glass. In an instant, her cheek turned red, causing her to look even more beautiful and extraordinary. Both of them were eating quietly. Of course, Yang Dingtian was the one that ate most of the food, while Dongfang Bingling just accompanied him with her drinks. Soon, he finished all the food, and they finished a bottle of wine together. There was more than a pound of strong white wine. Dongfang Bingling drank more than her counterpart. Yang Dingtian was now slightly drunk while Dongfang Bingling was still sober. Only her cheeks had turned red. Apprentice Sister, do you drink often? Yang Dingtian asked. Dongfang Bingling nodded her head, which surprised Yang Dingtian a little. After getting drunk, Yang Dingtian had lost control of his brain and mouth. As such, he asked directly, Why? There is too much sorrow and grief. There are too many things to worry about. She was the angel admired by millions of people. She was the princess in the eyes of men. Many people were willing to sacrifice their lives for her if she even slightly scrunched her brows. How could she be unhappy? Of course, she had worried about her father, but this alone shouldnt be the cause. Apprentice Brother, you will eventually find out, Dongfang Bingling said with a smile as she finished the last glass of wine. This was the only smile Yang Dingtian had seen all day long. Immediately, the entire house seemed to bloom innumerable flowers. I really hope that I can lend you a helping hand in the future, relieving your sadness and adding happiness to your life, Yang Dingtian couldnt help but say that to her. He was actually a proud and reserved guy on Earth, so he seldom actively wooed girls. Even his pretty English teacher was the one who took the initiative to woo him. Tonight, he couldnt help but spurt out these words. Yang Dingtian felt his heart thumping rapidly as he waited for Dongfang Binglings answer. At this moment, the worst reply would be silence, while an acceptable answer would be a thank you. If he was not mistaken, her most likely answer would be a thank you. Dongfang Bingling looking at Yang Dingtian with her charming eyes and nodded her head. Yes, I believe you. Instantly, endless happiness and sweetness filled his heart. After finishing the wine, Dongfang Bingling packed the cutlery back into the food container and took out a tea set from behind a bookshelf. Apprentice Brother, can you go collect a pot of the cleanest snow? She handed the teapot to Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian took the teapot outside and filled it with pure-white snow. Then, he handed it back to Dongfang Bingling. She placed her tiny hands below the teapot. Her jade-like hands rubbed it softly, and a blue flame ignited, swaying gently. Yang Dingtian was surprised. Apprentice Sister, I thought you possessed the Icy Xuan Vein? How can you generate a flame? Yang Dingtian asked in surprise. Ximen Wuyas nature was fire, and he was able to generate Icy Fire. However, he had already achieved the rank of Master. Had his fiance reached Guru level at such a young age? It is very difficult for Fiery Nature Xuan Veins to generate Icy Fire. It is relatively easier for Icy Xuan Veins to generate Icy Fire, Dongfang Bingling explained in a very calm voice. However, her display still completely shocked Yang Dingtian. He realized the cultivation of this extraordinary girl had already reached a shocking level. The fire melted the snow. Dongfang Bingling then made two cups of tea, which immediately assailed his nostrils with exotic scents. Yang Dingtian completely drained his cup. After drinking three cups of tea, Dongfang Bingling stood up and procured a pile of clothes from nearby. These were all my clothes belonging to my dad. You two have similar figures. Ill get the maids to sew you new clothes tomorrow. Apprentice Brother, take a good rest. Ill leave first. Dongfang Bingling turned and walked away. She was the Yin Yang Sect princess, and there were currently countless valued guests the sect. Yet, she still personally brought him food and clothing. She even accompanied him for dinner and made him tea. I probably wont have time to come and see you during the next three days. Ill be back in three days. After Dongfang Bingling left, Yang Dingtian felt warm and took a comfortable bath. He took his bath, put on the clothes he was given, and returned to the house. He was trembling throughout this entire routine. He once read a book that stated that men would act strangely when in love. He hadnt believed it back then, but now, he believed. The tea was sitting still there within the teapot that could be considered a treasure. The water had not cooled. He tried to read a book while drinking tea, but he was stuck on the first page. Finally, it got too late, and he decided to go to bed. The bedsheet was extremely soft, even softer than the legendary velvet. It also smelled good. Throughout the night, Yang Dingtian dreamed of Dongfang Bingling. However, at the best moment in the dream, he suddenly woke up. Right before he woke, he was only an inch away from Dongfang Binglings lips in the dream. Yang Dingtian was annoyed at having woken right at the best moment in the dream. He desperately wanted to go back to sleep and resume that dream where he left off. However, he couldnt fall asleep again, so he got up. His entire body and mind were still filled with that sweet feeling. Soon, someone came to bring him breakfast. It wasnt Dongfang Bingling but a maid in red. She was very pretty. She was young but still possessed a voluptuous body. If he was in a normal state of mind, Yang Dingtian would have definitely noticed her and even been amazed. But now, Yang Dingtian didnt even remember what she looked like because his mind was filled with another extraordinary face. Thus, the new woman who came this time was colorless to him. At noon, the same maid in red brought him his meal. By evening, Dongfang Bingling still hadnt appeared. It was still the same maid in red who brought him dinner and fresh clothes. Following the same routine, the maid in red brought him his meals the next morning, noon, and evening. On this day, Yin Yang Sect was bustling with noise and excitement. Even Yang Dingtian could hear the noise from his remote hill. Today was a grand day in the Yin Yang Sect. A few million people had gathered on the mountain. All Martial Arts Groups were visiting. Even though he was far away from the bustle, Yang Dingtian could still feel the veneration exuded by countless people. A sacrificial ceremony was held in the afternoon. The scene must have been very grand and spectacular. Yang Dingtian could smell the burning incense and see the rising smoke even though he was several dozen miles away. Dozens of miles away, he could hear the din of people shouting and kneeling. Dozens of miles away, he could see countless rare birds fly up into the sky. It was a rare occasion in this world, one that occurs only once a decade. Before, Yang Dingtian had been very excited, but now, he wasnt interested in the festivities at all. His body and mind were preoccupied with only one thing. In the evening, an endless stream of fireworks shot into the sky, depicting a variety of images in the dark night sky. Fireworks also existed in this world, but instead of gunpowder, they were made using precious stones and medicines. They were much more expensive than the fireworks made on Earth. Even so, the fireworks show lasted several hours. The entire sky above Vast Immeasurable Mountain was filled with beautiful fireworks explosions. The entire Vast Immeasurable Mountain was illuminated by countless lights. Looking down from the top of the mountain, one could see countless sparkling lights decorating every corner such that the mountainside looked like the starry sky. The scenery was more beautiful than what anyone could have imagined. Millions of lights lit up the night sky. Even back on the relatively high-tech Earth, Yang Dingtian had not witnessed a comparably spectacular and beautiful night sky. When Yang Dingtian was about to go to bed, Dongfang Bingling finally came. He became extremely excited. It was about eleven oclock at night. You must have been very busy today. I thought you werent coming, Yang Dingtian said. He had already undressed and was wearing only his undergarments. Dongfang Bingling was dressed in white. She sat opposite Yang Dingtian. Today was a grand occasion, but you werent able to join. I was worried that you might have been upset. How could I be? Yang Dingtian rebutted. I dont mind it at all. Im pretty happy. Youre the disciple that my dad cultivated secretly. The fewer people who know, the better. Yes, I understand. Yang Dingtian asked, How was everything today? Are you tired? Not really. Just a little bored and lonely, Dongfang Bingling replied. Her extraordinary figure seemed even more lonesome as she spoke. Dongfang Bingling stretched out her hand. There were flower petals wreathed in blue flame on her palm. This is the Flame Flower. Each Yin Yang Sect disciple needs to wear one on the Day of Worship. Yang Dingtian took the Flame Flower. In doing so, his hand briefly touched her palm. Her skin felt smooth, soft, and charming. Half of Yang Dingtians body was paralyzed by that slight touch. Apprentice Brother, rest well. Ill see you the day after tomorrow, Dongfang Bingling said. Whats tomorrows event? Yang Dingtian asked. Martial Arts Competition, Dongfang Bingling replied. Do you have to participate? Yang Dingtian asked. Yes, probably one battle, Dongfang Bingling replied. Against? Dongfang Bingling answered, Zhu Hongxue. Yang Dingtians face trembled slightly. Feeling a bit jealous, he warned, Be careful. S?a??h th? Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. I will. Dongfang Bingling left after saying, I will come see you the day after tomorrow. I have something important to discuss with you. ****** On the third day, Yang Dingtian was agitated because Dongfang Bingling had to fight Zhu Hongxue. According to warriors hearsay, the main purpose of Zhu Hongxues trip to the Yin Yang Sect was to propose marriage. Xuan Sky Sect would like to ally with the Yin Yang Sect through marriage. Zhu Hongxue was the foremost expert among the younger generation and also the most handsome man in the world. Even though Yang Dingtian had yet to see him in person, he could imagine the scene in which he stood next to Dongfang Bingling. They would look like a perfect match. Had Dongfang Bingling won or lost? Yang Dingtian had no idea. Maybe nobody cared about the result. On this day, Yang Dingtian waited until midnight, until Vast Immeasurable Mountain had become completely quiet. And yet, Dongfang Bingling did not appear. Yang Dingtian had a few dreams that night, one after another. All the dreams were very messy and fidgety. He seemed to repeatedly fall into an ice cave that was several thousand meters deep.... Ah... Yang Dingtian stretched out his hands as if trying to break his fall. Then, he jerked up and opened his eyes. At this point in time, the sky was already bright, and sunlight shone directly into the house. A graceful figure was standing inside. She looked even more beautiful under the sunlight, shrouded in a layer of radiance. Dongfang Bingling had arrived. She stood in the house with breakfast served on the table next to her. Why didnt Apprentice Sister wake me after arriving? Yang Dingtian quickly got up, threw on his clothes, washed his face, and rinsed his mouth. Then, he sat at the table and ate his breakfast. Did Apprentice Sister win the match? Yang Dingtian asked. I won, Dongfang Bingling replied. But only because Zhu Hongxue deliberately let me win. Has the event ended? Yang Dingtian asked. Yes, it has ended. Most of the guests have descended the mountain. At the moment, Yang Dingtian couldnt think of anything to talk about, so he just remained silent. Neither person spoke. Yang Dingtian finished his breakfast so quickly that he could not recall how it tasted at all. Apprentice Brother, according to my fathers last words, Im betrothed to you. What are your thoughts? Dongfang Bingling asked directly. Apprentice Brother, do like me? Chapter 23: Engagement! Chapter 23: Engagement!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtians heart immediately starting beating quickly. Yes, I do. Dongfang Bingling then said, So, you want to marry me? Yang Dingtian felt a little thirsty and replied, Yes. Parents orders are always the most important. My mom also plans to completely obey my fathers final will, Dongfang Bingling said. Yang Dingtian remained silent, waiting for Dongfang Bingling to continue. Before I turned ten, I absolutely admired my father even though his time with us was very short. After I turned ten, I started to hate him because he had completely disappeared. He went off to pursue an abnormal illusion, leaving me, my mother, and also the entire Yin Yang Sect. My mother and I had many difficulties in the past ten years because of his disappearance. Our position became more and more awkward. In the end, we took back what originally belonged to us because of my hard work. Dongfang Binglings face turned cold. My fathers cultivation at my age was not as good as mine right now. Apart from a few people, there is no one who is a match for me. Zhu Hongxue is known as the best in our generation, but even if he didnt let me win yesterdays fight, he might not be able to beat me. If nothing special happens, I will become the new Head of the Yin Yang Sect in fifteen years. In twenty years, my cultivation will surpass that of my father. In thirty-five years, I may break into the mythical Saint realm that nobody has been able to reach for centuries. Everything I have today and everything I will have in the future is grasped with my own ability. None of it has anything to do with my father. He disappeared ten years ago, and ten years later, he randomly sends a person to become the next Yin Yang Sect Head as well as my husband. What gives him the right to do so? Just because he is my father? Dongfang Binglings voice had become colder. Apprentice Brother, although Im not a real fairy, Im also not a person that anyone can simply push around. Dongfang Bingling shook her head. Im really not that frivolous. s?a??h th? ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Apprentice Brother Yang, I am truly grateful that you were there for my father in his last year, and Im also very grateful to you for sending us his last words. Ill repay this favor of yours. But... Dongfang Bingling glanced at Yang Dingtian with her charming eyes. He finally started to feel her a sense of distance in her pretty eyes. Her current gaze towards Yang Dingtian was just like that of a princess looking at a countryside peasant. It was like a fairy flying above the sky looking down at the ants on the ground. This kind of gaze was very elusive and ephemeral. It flashed over her features and was gone in an instant. Only at this moment could Yang Dingtian feel it. My husband must be a peerless person, must be admired by millions of people, and must be someone who can match me perfectly. Dongfang Bingling stared at Yang Dingtian and said, Yang Dingtian, Ive spoken with you often these past three days. I even brought you food and made you tea. All I have done were just to repay you for delivering my fathers final words. Otherwise, even Zhu Hongxue is not qualified for me to make tea for him. I approached you because I wanted you to accept reality and take the initiative to dissolve our engagement yourself. I didnt want to do it myself to not humiliate you, Dongfang Bingling said coldly. But, I didnt expect that when I approached you, you became even more unwise and started looking for chances to get closer to me. Youve disappointed me. Its already been three days. Since youre not going to take the initiative to speak up, I will have to raise the issue even though it will make me seem snobbish. Youve delivered a message to the Yin Yang Sect from far away. Youve also accompanied my father in his last two years. I owe you so I dont want to humiliate you. However, youre too stupid, which is forcing me to make the issue clear myself. Throughout this entire tirade, Yang Dingtian just sat there as if he had been struck by lightning. He was paralyzed from top to bottom, unable to even react. Dongfang Bingling looked at Yang Dingtian. Dont worry, Ill repay you for your kindness, and will allow you to enjoy those rewards for the rest of your life. Ive secretly checked your Xuan Veins. Theyre so so. It might still be possible to place you in a small faction. However, youre certainly not qualified to enter the Yin Yang Sect. However, I can make you a Yin Yang Sect disciple to reward your kindness. Dongfang Niemie had told Yang Dingtian that his Xuan Veins were so unique that even he couldnt completely figure it out. He only figured that Yang Dingtian possessed the Nine Yang God Veins based on his own speculations. He observed the way Yang Dingtian practiced Zheng Yang Punch and washed his veins and marrow to more accurately identify his extraordinary Xuan Veins. Ximen Wuya was also a Guru. His Xuan energy had flowed into Yang Dingtians body when he was healing him. However, he could only feel that the young mans veins were chaotic and couldnt precisely analyze them. However, Ximen Wuya was a learned man, and he was able to infer that Yang Dingtians Xuan Veins were unfathomable. Dongfang Bingling continued, In addition, I can give you a lot of pills, offer you many privileges, provide you with the best weapons, and allow you to secretly practice within a higher-grade faction. I will give you a future far brighter than what your aptitude would naturally allow. Yang Dingtian, I can give you many, many things worth far more than your kindness. Now, tell me what it is you want. Coins? Secret scrolls? Pills? Weapons? A Martial soul? Status? Power or anything else, I can give you anything as long as you name it. (TL Note: Martial soul here refers to the heart of a Martial Art that can be imparted.) At this moment, Yang Dingtian seemed to wake from his stunned reverie. A second ago, he couldnt even feel his body. Every single word uttered by Dongfang Bingling seemed to have come from beyond the clouds, but every word also boomed as loudly as thunder beside his ears. Shame, disgrace, and endless humiliation! He should be furious. He should be raging. However, he only managed to laugh three times. He truly should have been angry and aggrieved. He had never suffered such humiliation. On Earth, he had always been pampered by everyone since he was young. His parents liked him. Although his teachers had a few headaches because he was not a well-behaved student, he was very smart, and his academic performance was pretty good. Thus, overall, they still liked him. From primary school to secondary school to university, there were countless girls who had written him love letters. His English teacher, Li Bijun, eventually became his girlfriend. She was the campus belle with numerous admirers. Even so, Li Bijun was the one who took the initiative to woo him. After crossing to a different world, people continued to value him highly. The worlds strongest person, Dongfang Niemie, took the initiative to accept him as a disciple. He even handed him the position of Yin Yang Sect Head and betrothed his daughter to him. Another Guru, Ximen Wuya, wanted to betroth his daughter to him and make him the next Lord of Cloud Sky City. However, he was badly humiliated badly this time. He really wanted to say that you should never bully a poor youngster, that fortunes wheel was ever-turning. Today, he might be poor, but who knew what would happen over the next thirty years? However, a million words flowed through his heart and burned to ashes. He ended up doing nothing more than showing a grim, expressionless face. Yang Dingtian stood up. Im sorry, Apprentice Sister. Lust affected my judgment. A few things caused me to lose my rationality. Dongfang Bingling remained cold, saying nothing. A man should fight for what he wants using his abilities and capabilities instead of relying on others. Yang Dingtian stood in front of Dongfang Bingling and stared at her. He coldly said, Things that belong to me, I will get by myself. Thus, you dont have to give me anything. Regarding your fathers last words, you keep on saying that my guarding him in the past year and a half was a great kindness. Yang Dingtian shook his head. To me, that was not kindness. He is your father and also my Master. I see him as a father as well. So, what I did was not kindness, and you dont owe me after all. After hearing what Yang Dingtian said, Dongfang Bingling scrunched her pretty brow and frowned slightly. Its good if you get over it, but please dont speak to me using that tone. Since Im offering, I recommend you accept it. Otherwise, you might regret your pride. Thats my business. If theres nothing else, if Im allowed to continue staying here, then please, I would like to be alone right now. One more thing, Dongfang Bingling interrupted. If you mean what you said, if you plan on grasping what you want with your own abilities, then great. Please hand it over. Hand over what? Yang Dingtian asked. The Flame Ring that represents the Yin Yang Sect, Dongfang Bingling continued. Are you trying to say that youre not aware of it? Or that you dont have it? Yang Dingtians raised his eyebrows. The Flame Ring was the only thing his Master had left him. The most crucial point was that inside the Flame Ring were the words his Master had left for him. Yang Dingtian would only gain access to those secrets once his cultivation reaches the level where he could summon the Flame Ring. They were the worlds greatest secrets, including the reason his Master was entrapped and the identity of his opponent. Therefore, he decided not to give the ring to anyone. Sorry, I wont give it to you, Yang Dingtian said coldly. This item belonged to my Master. He handed it to me, so I cant give it to you. This ring belongs to the Yin Yang Sect. Youre not qualified to possess it, Dongfang Bingling said. Take it out. Ill give you anything you want. You can even stay in the Yin Yang Sect. We will give you as many resources as you want, helping you become stronger than anything you could imagine. Or else? Yang Dingtian asked. Dongfang Bingling pulled a long face and said, Or else you would be a thief that stole the Yin Yang Sects treasure. We will forcibly repossess the Flame Ring and punish you. Of course, we show you mercy for delivering fathers last will. We can promise not to take your life. But once you offend the Yin Yang Sect, Ill make sure you will have trouble surviving in this world. Dongfang Binglings face immediately turned cold. Her sharp eyes now looked like the edge of a sword pointed at Yang Dingtian. I dont want to fight you myself. In one hour, Ill send somebody to collect it from you. I hope you carefully consider what to do using this time. Dongfang Binglings tone was filled with menace. She left immediately after speaking. When she neared the door, she turned. I hope you wont go crying to my mother and try to leverage her innocence. She is not in the Yin Yang Sect at the moment. Shuaaa... A pair of icy wings sprouted from her back, and she flew downhill. Even if it was not flying but skating across the ground, the feat was more than enough to surprise Yang Dingtian. Dongfang Bingling was really strong! Chapter 24: If I Survive Chapter 24: If I SurviveTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales After Dongfang Bingling left, Yang Dingtian just stood inside the house, gently touching empty space around his finger where the Flame Ring was hidden. Even though there was nothing there, he could still feel the power. Yang Dingtians heart was now filled with anger, like a volcano that was about to erupt. Surging but constrained, his anger seemed capable of destroying the whole world the day it really erupts. This place was his Masters study room. He had stayed for three days, and now, he was about to leave. He reluctantly looked it over for the last time before he left. He could no longer stay here or in the Yin Yang Sect. He had really never expected this kind of ending. Even so, he had still delivered the Flame ornament to his Masters wife and would never give up the Flame Ring. Everything will just remain unchanged. He had to start fleeing now. Perhaps it will be difficult for him to survive in this world. However, when he thought back to his spontaneous combustion before crossed over to this world, could he really bring himself to care about some Yin Yang Sect bounty on his head? S?a??h th? ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Goodbye Master, goodbye Yin Yang Sect, goodbye... Yang Dingtian bowed towards the center of the study room before he turned away and left. ... After leaving his Masters study room, he was unable to go through the front because it was densely packed with Yin Yang Sect buildings. Sect disciples were everywhere. He needed to walk through the back of the mountain. The area was barren and remote. Perhaps, he might get the chance to get away under the cover of the overgrown thicket. There were no people behind the mountain. The area was covered with snow and trees. Yang Dingtian desperately ran down the hill. Of course, he left numerous footprints that will make tracking him easier. However, he couldnt be that careful at this critical moment. Dongfang Bingling said that she was giving him an hour to consider carefully, which meant that she wouldnt send anyone to his Masters study room within this hour. No one would notice his absence. He might able to get away by running as fast as he could during this time. Yang Dingtian was very fast. He rushed directly down the mountain. He completely plowed through the thick snow, leaving a long trench behind him. However, his speed was still too slow. Pursuers would quickly catch up to him after an hour. The snow here was very thick. If he had skis, he could have gone much faster. Yang Dingtian took out the dagger given to him by Ximen Wuya. He used it to slice off a trees branches. As quickly as possible, he cut the branches into two primary skis. The dagger was very sharp so it only took him a few minutes to cut them into acceptable shapes. He then used the dagger to remove the leather from his clothes. He used it to tie the skis to his feet. He then sliced off two straight branches to use as ski poles. Shua... His speed increased by quite a bit. He now seemed to move across the terrain as fast as lightning. The snow on Vast Immeasurable Mountain was very thick with little space between neighboring trees. Trees filled his vision. Back on Earth, Yang Dingtian was born in Northeast China. He had liked skiing very much, and his technique was absolutely professional. Despite the large number of trees here, his intense concentration and skill let him avoid crashing into any of them. Also, he had much greater control over his body after he learned Zheng Yang Punch and The Art of Heaven and Earth. His body seemed to be much lighter than before. His speed was getting faster and faster. The wind blowing against his face felt just like millions of knives cutting into him. His distance away from the Yin Yang Sect grew faster and faster. His heart began to settle as he got further and further. As he was reveling in the thrill of speeding through the mountain, suddenly, the ringing of a bell sounded out from the other side of the mountain, followed by the booming of a vigorous voice from behind. Did you think there was nobody around in the Yin Yang Sect? How dare you steal from us? This voice was clearly at least a few dozen miles away, but it seemed to echo right beside his ears. No way, I was found! The Yin Yang Sect will soon catch up to me. Immediately, Yang Dingtian sped up even more. Swish, swish, swish... Speed up, speed up, speed up... Although he couldnt see them, Yang Dingtian could already vividly feel the presence of numerous Yin Yang Sect disciples not far behind him. They were also getting closer and closer. Ga... Suddenly, a big bird let out a loud raucous cry in the sky. Yang Dingtian looked up and saw two snow-white Big Rocs from the Xuan Sky Sect. The disciples above had found Yang Dingtian. Thief, surrender now! the disciple atop one of the Big Rocs said coldly. Yang Dingtian ignored him and continued skiing forward. The disciples flying above were not in a hurry. They sneered and locked onto Yang Dingtian. Hurry up... Yang Dingtian was rushing forward when suddenly, he was shocked to see nothing but empty space in front of him. Ahhhh... He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately made an emergency turn to stop. In front of him was completely empty space. There was nothing at all. The entire mountain seemed to end here. Yang Dingtian had arrived at the cliffside. Under the cliff, there was an intimidating reef sitting atop a vast sea. Vast Immeasurable Mountain faced the sea on its north side. There was no way to go any further. If Yang Dingtian had braked late by even a second, he would have run off the side of the cliff, leaving him with nothing more than a torn body and crushed bones. At this moment, Yang Dingtian felt helpless. He knew nothing about the geographic features of Vast Immeasurable Mountain, which was why he fled in this direction. But, how could he have expected to run into a dead end? No wonder the Xuan Sky Sect disciples didnt bother trying to stop him. They just stared down coldly at him as he fled. The two Big Rocs slowly descended until they were hovering three to four meters above the ground. They penned Yang Dingtian in from the left and right. The Xuan Sky Sect disciples coldly drew their swords, staring at Yang Dingtian. The two Big Rocs were huge. They looked almost completely like two airplanes. The wind was blowing strongly, and the trees swayed whenever they flapped their wings. The snow covering their branches fell a little with each shake. The Xuan Sky Sect disciples didnt intend to come down and arrest Yang Dingtian. They only stared at him firmly. Just a moment later, two shadows flew from far, arriving clad in a fragrant whirlwind. The two shadows, one snow-white and one sky-blue, landed ten meters in front of Yang Dingtian. They both kept their virtual wings furled behind. One of them was as cold as ice. She was outstanding, slim, and graceful, and looked like a fairy. She was, of course, Dongfang Bingling. The other person had a complexion that was as clear as jade. He was handsome, extraordinary, had a perfect posture, and was full of pride and arrogance. He should be the legendary worlds foremost young expert, the worlds most handsome man, and also the Xuan Sky Sects young master, Zhu Hongxue. These two people looked perfectly matched when they stood together, causing others to feel inferior. The two disciples from the Xuan Sky Sect immediately kneeled and spoke respectfully, Greetings to young master. Greetings to Ms. Dongfang. Zhu Hongxue did not respond. He did not even bother to look at them. He asked Dongfang Bingling, Apprentice Sister, is he the one who stole your stuff? Dongfang Bingling nodded slightly, stepped forward, and said, Take it out. I will pretend nothing happened. I will still allow you to join the Yin Yang Sect and grant you anything you want. Yang Dingtian grinned. Otherwise? Dongfang Binglings face turned cold. Dont talk to me using such a tone just because you showed kindness to my family. My patience is limited. Then, she took one step closer was now only five meters away from Yang Dingtian. She stretched out her snow-jade hand towards Yang Dingtian. If you take it out now, you will have a bright future. If you dont, then youre just killing yourself. Yang Dingtian replied coldly, My Master gave me this. I will never hand it over. If you want it, come and take it yourself. Dongfang Bingling stepped closer again. She was now three meters away from Yang Dingtian. Again, she said, If you take it out now, you will have a bright future. If you dont, then youre killing yourself. At that moment, an extremely powerful pressure descended upon Yang Dingtian, causing him to feel suffocated. The snow-white Zhu Hongxue frowned and said, Apprentice Sister, you dont need to get so close to such a small character. Dont let his dirty exhaled air sully your pure body. Dont even touch him. Zhu Hongxues words were intimating and overbearing. He totally regarded Dongfang Bingling as something that belonged to him. She slightly frowned after hearing what he said, seeming to dislike the implied meaning. You and you, go take his stuff. Just kill him if he resists, Zhu Hongxue pointed to the Xuan Sky Sect disciples and ordered. Yes! Both Xuan Sky Sect disciples leaped off their Big Rocs, brandishing their swords as they approached slowly. Apprentice Brother Zhu, this person has earned a certain degree of grace from my family. Please dont take his life. My familys item should be in his hands, Dongfang Bingling implored. Zhu Hongxue frowned again. Both of you, cut off his hands! Dongfang Bingling looked coldly towards Yang Dingtian. I dont want to see this happen either, but that item is not yours. If you wish to take it for yourself, you will have to bear the consequences. It isnt too late to wake up to reality. Hand over that item, and youll still be able to keep your hands. Otherwise..., you have no other way now. You have already reached a dead end..., Dongfang Bingling tried to convince him. Hand it over. You can still become a Yin Yang Sect disciple and bring honor to your ancestors. Apprentice Sister, why are you talking to him so much? Zhu Hongxue had lost his patience. Its disgraceful to waste words on this kind of unworthy person. Yang Dingtian looked at Zhu Hongxue coldly. Youre just relying on your ancestors glory. What else do you have? Do you think you are noble? He knew shouldnt have said this, but he just couldnt help it. What did you say? Zhu Hongxues face turned pale, and he coldly said, Youre looking for death! Bang... Zhu Hongxue unleashed a hollow palm attack. Zhu Hongxue was very powerful, but Yang Dingtian still defended with his own palm, attempting to counter Zhu Hongxues attack. Boom! Suddenly, a very powerful force slammed into Yang Dingtians chest, striking him like a massive hammer blow. His blood spewed forth like arrows. Go cut off his hands and his tongue..., Zhu Hongxue coldly ordered. Yes! Immediately, both Xuan Sky Sect disciples moved forward rapidly, flashing their swords towards Yang Dingtians arms. Ah, Ah... Yang Dingtian burst out laughing. Dongfang Bingling, you want my Flame Ring, right? Dream on... I would rather die than hand it over to you! Dongfang Bingling, if I survive, I will return to you a hundred times the humiliation I suffered in the future. With a loud shout, Yang Dingtian turned towards the cliff and jumped. Ahhh... Dongfang Bingling had not expected that Yang Dingtian would choose to jump off the cliff after reaching a dead end. This cliff was bottomless. Jumping off could only result in a torn body and crushed bones. It would be certain death. Zhu Hongxue, if I survive, I will definitely wipe out the entire Xuan Sky Sect, massacring everyone! Yang Dingtian used the last of his energy to shout crazily as fell into the abyss below. Chapter 25: Being Saved Chapter 25: Being SavedTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Dream on! Zhu Hongxue shouted. He leaped into the air with a rush, aimed at the falling Yang Dingtian, and abruptly struck out with an overhead palm. The first palm he threw did not kill Yang Dingtian because of Dongfang Binglings words. He planned to kill Yang Dingtian with this current palm. A blazing blade of blue flame descended from the sky. It enveloped the falling Yang Dingtian and slammed into him violently. Immediately, his body was like a leaf in the wind. The strike was so ferocious that he couldnt help but curl inwards and spew blood. A blood mist spurt out from his mouth, nose, ears, and every other part of his body. Soon, Yang Dingtians entire body was covered in blood as he fell rapidly down the cliff. Dongfang Bingling stepped forward and looked at Yang Dingtian who was surrounded by the blood mist. Gritting her teeth, she said, I didnt want to kill him. A man inferior to pigs and dogs like him doesnt deserve to live. Dont mind it, Zhu Hongxue replied flatly. What he is carrying is the Flame Ring, correct? That wont break. The only concern we should have now is that Xuan energy cannot be used at the bottom of the cliff. However, we can simply fetch his body from below and retrieve the Flame Ring. Hearing Zhu Hongxues words, Dongfang Binglings face changed slightly. Zhu Hongxues proud face showed a rare tenderness. Master Dongfang is no longer alive, correct? My father already guessed it earlier. Your father is gone, but you still have me and the Xuan Sky Sect. I will not let you suffer the least bit of grievance. Her beautiful complexion changed, and her teeth were clenched tightly. She did not like to hear such words. She did not want to rely on anyone else. She did not want to be controlled by anyone. ****** Yang Dingtian seemed to have entered a world of darkness. He felt no pain throughout his body and could only feel endless emptiness. His entire body and soul seemed to fall into the abyss, sinking ever deeper... The dark abyss underneath did not seem to have a bottom. As he fell, his vitality seemed to leak out of him bit by bit! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! ... s?a??h th? N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The deep and vigorous voice sounded as if it were coming from beyond the clouds. A warm and hot force enveloped his soul, causing it to fall slower and slower. Yang Dingtians surroundings seemed to be getting brighter and brighter as well as clearer and clearer. In the end, he opened his eyes and saw a familiar face. Countless emotions surged through him when he recognized who it was. It was Ximen Wuya. He had saved Yang Dingtian again. He placed his palms against Yang Dingtians back and constantly transfused Xuan energy to support his life. Even though he was a Guru, his body was drenched in sweat as if a rainstorm had just passed by. Fortunately, I finally managed to drag your life back from hell, Ximen Wuya said with a laugh. His face showed a hint of his fatigue. As a Guru, he normally would not ever become exhausted. It could be seen how much Xuan energy he used in order to save Yang Dingtians life. We were preparing to leave by ship. Unexpectedly, we saw someone covered in blood drifting away from the sea. We thought he was dead, but due to a moral obligation, we planned to pick him up and bury him. We were shocked to discover that the bloody man was you, Ximen Wuya explained. If it had been anyone else, even if his martial cultivation were a few dozen times higher than yours, he would have been killed by such a heavy blow. However, your extremely powerful Xuan veins have kept you alive and absorbed the blows impact. Even though your veins have cracking everywhere, they still allowed you to retain a trace of vitality. Furthermore, your Sea of Energy hadnt burst at all. I really cant imagine what sort of Xuan veins you have. Ximen City Lord, where am I now? How long have I been unconscious? Yang Dingtian asked. Were on a ship. Youve been unconscious for three hours, and were en route back to Cloud Sky City, Ximen Wuya answered. Then, Ximen Wuya swallowed his anger and asked, What happened? Who hurt you? You just passed the period of enlightenment and are not even a student of martial arts. Who had done this to you? Yang Dingtian stayed silent for a long time. Eventually, he said, Ximen City Lord, do you still remember that flame ornament? Ximen Wuya nodded. If it had been anything else, I would have given it to Miss Ximen, but this item is too special. Its a token representing the love between my Master and his wife. I needed to deliver the flame ornament to my Masters wife in the Yin Yang Sect. Yang Dingtian continued, I am just an ordinary person. I accidentally fell into a cave and found a frozen and dying old man. I saved him. The cave was very deep so we couldnt get out. I stayed with the old man and we came to regard each other as family. Two years later, he told me that he was called Dongfang Niemie, the Head of the Yin Yang Sect. He asked if I would like to become his disciple. I regarded him as my nearest and dearest person, so of course, I agreed. Not only did he accept me as his disciple, but he also betrothed his only daughter, Dongfang Bingling, to me. Master told me that I was his only direct disciple, which makes me the future head of the Yin Yang Sect. He gave me the Flame Ring, the ring representing the Head, in order to prove my identity. He also gave me the flame ornament in order for me to deliver it to his wife in the Yin Yang Sect. This ornament was a love token and also contained his final words to his wife. After receiving it, she knew who I was and knew what to do. After that, Ximen City Lord should be able to imagine what had happened, Yang Dingtian concluded. Of course, Ximen Wuya replied. Apprentice Brother Dongfang hadnt seen his daughter for ten years. He didnt even know that his daughter had changed. However, even if she was too picky or had set her sights too high, she could have just canceled the engagement. I dont believe that you would have harassed her repeatedly. Why did she want to kill you? She wanted me to hand over the Flame Ring, but my Master gave it to me so I couldnt. I wanted to escape, but she and Zhu Hongxue forced me into a dead end. I would rather die than hand over the Flame Ring, so I jumped off the cliff... Got it, I got it... Ximen Wuya clenched his fists and suppressed his anger. Then, he grabbed Yang Dingtians right hand. After injecting Xuan Energy, a fire emerged. At that moment, the beautiful Flame Ring appeared on Yang Dingtians right-hand ring finger. Is this it? Ximen Wuya asked. He then let go of Yang Dingtians right hand, and the Flame Ring slowly disappeared, becoming invisible again. Its unfilial to disobey ones parents. Its disrespectful to despise ones future husband. Its unfaithful to be with other men. Its a great crime to conspire with other men to kill ones future husband. Apprentice Brother Dongfang was the hero of his generation. His wife is gentle and virtuous. How could they have given birth to such an unfilial, unscrupulous, unfaithful, and shameless daughter? Ximen Wuya mused coldly. Moreover, doesnt she know about Xuan Sky Sects Zhu Qingzhus wild ambition? Doesnt she know that Zhu Qingzhu played a very suspicious role in the disappearance of Apprentice Brother Dongfang ten years ago, which resulted in his tragic end? One day, the Yin Yang Sect will be destroyed by this ambitious yet unwise woman, Ximen Wuya lamented. Son, Yin Yang Sect belongs to you and your Master. You cannot do nothing, Ximen Wuya continued. Im also someone affiliated with the Yin Yang Sect. We cannot idly watch the millennium-old foundation of the sect be destroyed in Dongfang Binglings hands. You cant stay at Yin Yang Sect for the time being. Would you come back to Cloud Sky City with me? Ximen Wuya offered. Last time, I said that whatever the Yin Yang Sect can give you, Cloud Sky City may also be able to provide. I, I already have a Master, and I will never replace him, Yang Dingtian stuttered. My Cloud Sky City is also part of the Yin Yang Sect. In your opinion, is Cloud Sky City a traitor of the Yin Yang Sect? A few hundred years ago, Patriarch Yang Yunxiao Leng Wuyan was the traitor. As for us now, it is hard to say. Yes, I wanted you to be my heir, to be the new Lord of Cloud Sky City, Ximen Wuya said. But, since you are the disciple of Apprentice Brother Dongfang, the person I respect most in my life, Ive stopped wishing for it. I wont let you change your Master. Your Master is still Apprentice Brother Dongfang Niemie. I am only your Uncle. Cloud Sky City will do its best to cultivate you. You dont have to do anything. You dont even need to join Cloud Sky City, and wont need to return anything you receive. Once you become strong enough, you can return to the Yin Yang Sect and recapture the position of Head. Of course, I only have one request for you. When you become the Head of the Yin Yang Sect... Ximen Wuya sighed. After you become the head of the Yin Yang Sect, you have to absolve Cloud Sky City status as a traitor and let Cloud Sky City return to its family. Yang Dingtian hesitated for a while before asking, Ximen City Lord, is it not good for Cloud Sky City to be the dominant faction? Why should you depend on others? Ximen Wuya shook his head. Son, if you were my heir, you would be the next generation City Lord of Cloud Sky City. Of course, I would like to make Cloud Sky City the dominant faction or even defeat the Yin Yang Sect to regain orthodoxy. I could even go completely independent and make Cloud Sky City the best in the world in martial arts. However, you are already Apprentice Brother Dongfangs disciple. I cant take you away from him. Cloud Sky City has been weak for hundreds of years. I am its only Guru. For the next generation, I really cant find a good heir. If we dont remove our status as traitors and acknowledge our ancestors, Cloud Sky City will be doomed, Ximen Wuya explained helplessly. In recent years, Cloud Sky City has offended many people due to my prestige. Ive stepped on the heads of many factions. If I vanish, that would spell the end of Cloud Sky City. Son, follow me to Cloud Sky City. Ximen Wuyas eyes were full of sincerity and anticipation. I will treat you like how Apprentice Brother Dongfang Niemie treated you. Ill let you grow into the most powerful person in the world. Well, well..., Yang Dingtian stuttered. Thank you, Uncle Ximen. However, dont force Yanyan to marry me. She doesnt like me very much. After this most recent incident, Ive come to recognize that I can only get what I want with my own strength and not through the strength of others. Well said..., Ximen Wuya praised. Uncle promises you. Within ten years, you will be able to get revenge for today. Within ten years, you will be able to force Dongfang Bingling to taste the shame she brought upon herself today and cause her to live in regret for the following few decades! As for Yanyan, I will not force her to marry you. But, maybe you two really will come to like each other after spending enough time together. Ximen Wuya laughed. Therefore, I cant die yet. Ximen Wuya stood up suddenly. We must speed up and return to Cloud Sky City as quickly as possible. When the people from the Yin Yang Sect fail to find your body, they will come out to sea to search for it. Its possible that they will catch up to us very soon. Chapter 26: You Deserve a Death of a Thousand Cuts! Chapter 26: You Deserve a Death of a Thousand Cuts!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Immediately, Ximen Wuya yelled to everyone outside, Everybody, take your posts. Lets return to Cloud Sky City at full speed. Yes! There was the immediate sound of everyone leaping to obey him outside. Raise the sails. Everyone, pull on the oars. We sail as quickly as possible for Cloud Sky City! Ximen Yans voice boomed. Yes! Hundreds of people on the ship all yelled in unison. After that, everyone exited their cabins one after another, They went to the lower deck to take up the oars. The ship outside the room filled with the pattering sounds of people moving. Ximen Wuya frowned tightly. Hopefully, they will not catch up so quickly. After just one more day, they would no longer be able to catch us. Ximen Wuya sat behind Yang Dingtian, continuing to transfuse Xuan energy into him. No worries. Im your Uncle. No matter who comes, I will protect you to the best of my abilities. What you need to do now is to take a good rest. And then, both of them fell silent. Ximen Wuya helped Yang Dingtian heal quietly. A few minutes later, Ximen Wuya suddenly opened his eyes. Heaving a sigh, he said: They really came, and so quickly too. Hopefully, the people who came are not too intractable. Your niece, Dongfang Bingling, is here to visit Uncle Ximen. Dongfang Binglings voice sounded out from the sea outside the ship. Zhu Hongxue from the Xuan Sky Sect is here to see City Lord Ximen. Zhu Hongxues arrogant voice followed soon after. Jiang Songyang from the Yin Yang Sect greets Cloud Sky City Lord. Why is Apprentice Brother Ximen leaving in such a hurry? Although the voice was still far away, it was still able to cause a nearby candles flame to flicker. Ximen Wuya instantly raised his eyebrows when he heard this name. Uncle, who is this person? Yang Dingtian asked. He is your Masters Apprentice Brother. In the past, he once fought your master for the position of Yin Yang Sect Head, Ximen Wuya answered. Yang Ding Tian immediately sucked in a deep, cold breath. Surprisingly, Jiang Songyang was his Masters Apprentice Brother. His martial cultivation was, apparently, very high as well. Then, it fell silent. Ximen Wuya let out a long sigh of relief and said, Are there only three people here? Thats good. They wont be enough to force me to stay. But just as Ximen Wuya uttered those words, another voice sounded out from outside. Wuying from Yin Yang Sect is here to visit Apprentice Brother Ximen. It was a cold voice, containing absolutely no trace of emotion as if the speaker were dead. He came as well? Ximen Wuya mused. He is your Masters nominal Apprentice Brother and is the Yin Yang Sects adjudicator. He is responsible for killing sect enemies. There are more than five faction chiefs who have died by his hands. Hes killed thousands of people in his life. Ximen Wuya, are you coming out, or are we getting on your ship? This time, it was an incomparably soft voice. It drilled into Yang Dingtians ears like a needle, causing muscles all over his body to twitch. Hearing this voice, Ximen Wuyas expression changed dramatically. Who is the person? Yang Dingtian questioned. Ning Busi, your Masters uncle and one of the Great Elders of the Yin Yang Sect. He has been meditating in seclusion for the past twenty years and didnt show up at the previous Grand Festival. I didnt expect him to be here Yang Dingtian held his breath, not daring to breathe. This person was actually his Masters uncle. It went without saying that he was very powerful. Ximen Wuya heaved a long sigh of resignation. It seems like our situation is worse than I expected. Perhaps, matters wont be settled so peacefully tonight. Hand me over, uncle, Yang Dingtian urged. Hand me over! Ximen Wuya shook his head slightly. How is that possible? Dont be silly. Although his tone was flat, his heart was filled with pride. Ximen City Lord, how have you been? A very ordinary voice sounded out. It was not as irritating as the previous voice and was less shocking than one before that. It was just an ordinary mans voice. However, after hearing this voice, Ximen Wuyas body jerked, and his wide sleeves fluttered greatly. He had never shown such a reaction before. Uncle, who is this person? Yang Dingtian asked. Zhu Qingzhu, Ximen Wuya answered slowly. Zhu Qingzhu from the Xuan Sky Sect. Ten years ago, your Master, Dongfang Niemie, was number one in the world, and he was number two. However, this man is very mysterious. He may be ranked second, but this man is the most dangerous and powerful person in the world. When you meet him in the future, it is impossible to overestimate him. Do you understand? Although there is no evidence, he must have been involved in your Masters miserable end. He rarely appears in public. Obviously, he is not just here for you tonight. Uncle Ximen, is Yang Dingtian on your ship? Dongfang Bingling shouted sharply and clearly. He is a prisoner of our Yin Yang Sect. Please hand him over and well let you go. Ximen Wuya sneered silently. He then shouted, Yanyan, Ximen Yan, come in! The unparalleled beauty, Ximen Yanyan, walked in, followed by Ximen City Lords foster son. Both of their faces showed their unease. They even temporarily forgot their hostility towards Yang Dingtian. Yanyan, help me fetch a basin of water, Ximen Wuya said. Yes, daddy. Ximen Yanyan walked to the corner and fetched a basin of water. Because of her trembling hands, the water splashed all over the ground. Outside, Jiang Songyangs voice sounded out again. Ximen Wuya, do you think that its okay to hide in there? We decided not to rush in out of respect. Ill start counting down from ten. If you still dont surrender Yang Dingtian, we will board. Yang Dingtian again requested, Uncle, hand me over! Ten! Nine! The sound of Jiang Songyangs counting gave listeners the feeling that he was chasing after their souls. Ximen Wuya completely ignored the noise, whether it was Jiang Songyangs counting or Yang Dingtians entreaties. He washed his hand carefully in the basin, shook them lightly, and wiped them with the towel gently. The sea is meant to be dyed with blood tonight, he said. Yanyan, Ximen Yan, if I dont come back later, remember to bring everyone back to Cloud Sky City and surrender to the Yin Yang Sect immediately. No matter what humiliation you have to endure, you must preserve everyones lives, Ximen Wuya ordered. No, daddy. I dont want to hear you say something like that. I dont want... Ximen Yanyan covered her ears and cried. Ximen Yan spoke emotionally, Foster father, we dont have to do this at all. At this time, Yang Dingtian said nothing. He struggled out of his bed and attempted to walk outside. He could not let Ximen Wuya die for him. Ximen Wuya swung his sleeve lightly. Yang Dingtian was swept into the air and deposited back on the bed. He then procured a pill and put it into Yang Dingtians mouth. Yang Dingtian immediately felt drowsy. His eyes lost their focus. Silly boy... Ximen Wuya smiled slightly. Its not my style to let others take you away like this. Of course, if I fall here, I wont be able to protect you anymore, and your life will also come to an end! Three! Two! One! Outside, the Yin Yang Sect Elder Jiang Songyang finished his countdown. Apprentice Brother Ximen, we will be boarding your ship, Jiang Songyang announced loudly. No need. Im coming, Ximen Wuya replied. He then pushed the cabin door open and walked out. Daddy dont go! Ximen Yanyan cried loudly. She drew her sword and also rushed out, saying: Daddy, Im going with you. Ill die with you. Ximen Wuya swung his sleeves again. A strong and gentle wind pushed Ximen Yanyan back. With a second swing, Ximen Yanyan and Ximen Yan both fainted. With a third swing, the cabin door closed tightly. ******* Ximen Wuya walked up to the deck and found himself surrounded by several large ships. Hundreds of meters in every direction, there were dozens of experts floating in midair, encircling Cloud Sky Citys large ship. I pay my respects to Apprentice Brother Jiang Songyang! I greet Apprentice Brother Wuying. I greet Uncle Ning Busi. Finally, Ximen Wuya bowed towards a dark place and spoke slowly, I greet... Sect Leader Zhu! Jiang Songyang said: Apprentice Brother Ximen, you finally came out. Is my Yin Yang Sects prisoner Yang Dingtian on your ship? Yes, Ximen Wuya replied: However, I would like to ask Apprentice Brother Jiang something. What crime did Yang Dingtian commit? Even Uncle Ning Busi had to get involved? s?a??h th? ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. He stole the Flame Ring of the Yin Yang Sect, Jiang Songyang said. Whats worse, he took the Flame Ring and is now with you, a traitor of the Yin Yang Sect. Isnt that a big crime? Ximen Wuya pretended to not notice the hidden meaning behind those words. He laughed. Apprentice Brother Jiang probably misunderstood. Why did I hear that the Flame Ring wasnt stolen by Yang Dingtian? Instead, it was given to him by Apprentice Brother Dongfang Niemie himself, who nominated him as heir to the Yin Yang Sect. Also, he betrothed his daughter, Dongfang Bingling, to Yang Dingtian. My niece Dongfang Bingling is here as well. I would like to ask what exactly happened? Did I understand things correctly? Ximen Wuya turned towards Dongfang Bingling and asked. She floated around ten feet above the sea. Her long white dress fluttered in the wind, making her slim and graceful body even more attractive and alluring. She looked just like a fairy. Zhu Hongxue was by her side. The two of them really looked like a perfectly matched pair. Youre right, Dongfang Bingling replied coldly. Yang Dingtian sent my fathers final words. He specified exactly what you said. Ximen Wuya followed up and asked, Then, I would like to ask. In this Chaotic Mainland, does a father have the absolute right to betroth his daughter to a man? Dongfang Bingling replied in a flat tone, Yes! Ximen Wuya continued, Then, I would like to ask one more question. In the Yin Yang Sect, can the Head designate an heir and give him the Flame Ring? Dongfang Bingling replied, Yes! Ximen Wuya, showing an angered expression, then asked, Then, I dont understand. Since Head Dongfang Niemie personally gave the Flame Ring to Yang Dingtian, why are you still saying that he stole it? Without waiting for Dongfang Bingling to replay, Ximen Wuya continued, Furthermore, I dont understand why, considering Yang Dingtian is your fianc, you are so close with another man? Even if you dont love or respect Yang Dingtian, is that something you should do? What about your chastity? Youre not only following this man but also conspired with him to kill Yang Dingtian, havent you? Attempting to kill your fianc, you deserve a death of a thousand cuts! Chapter 27: The Ultimate Battle (Part 1) Chapter 27: The Ultimate Battle (Part 1)Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Dongfang Binglings delicate body trembled, and her beautiful face instantly turned pale. She had been worshipped as an angel her entire life and had never been humiliated in this way. As a result, she nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. And you, Zhu Hongxue? Ximen Wuya glared at Zhu Hongxue who was standing right next to Dongfang Bingling. Dongfang Bingling already has a fianc, and yet, you always keep her by your side. What exactly are you up to? Thats not all. Yang Dingtian had just passed the enlightenment period while you are the best among the youths, and yet, you still you tried to kill him? What are your ulterior motives? Zhu Hongxue gave him a cold glance and didnt even bother to explain. Dongfang Bingling took a deep breath. She raised her exquisite chin and said coldly, Ximen City Lord really does have a sharp tongue. Id also like to ask you about a few things. Please answer me. Go ahead! Ximen Wuya said. My first question. My father was the best martial art Guru in the world. Was his cultivation great? Was his vision great? asked Dongfang Bingling. Of course, Apprentice Brother Dongfang was the one that I respected most in the world, Ximen Wuya said slowly. Since his vision was so great, why did he choose such an ordinary person like Yang Dingtian? A man who only just passed the period of enlightenment in his twenties. Ive seen his Xuan Vein talent. It was extremely ordinary, so much so that he wouldnt even qualify to be a miscellaneous disciple of our Yin Yang Sect. How is it possible that my father would choose him to be the heir of the Yin Yang Sect? Dongfang Bingling asked. Without waiting for Ximen Wuyas answer, Dongfang Bingling continued, The second question. Someone saw Yang Dingtian on Cloud Sky Citys ship on your way to the Yin Yang Sect. He even spent most of his time aboard with City Lord Ximen. You both seem to be close. Is such a thing true? Ximen Wuya nodded and said, Yes. Dongfang Bingling said, Cloud Sky City has been trying to reclaim the status of the legitimate Yin Yang Sect, which cant be achieved through ordinary means. Would it be possible to use another method? For example, someone would take my fathers relic to the Yin Yang Sect, claim to be his disciple, and claim that my father made him his heir and betrothed me to him. That person would just happen to be someone from Cloud Sky City. Then, after twenty to thirty years, the Yin Yang Sect would be your Cloud Sky Citys. If that is true, does that mean that the City Lord Ximen had something to do with my fathers death? asked Dongfang Bingling coldly. Ximen Wuya was a little surprised. Dongfang Binglings words are really as sharp as a sword. Okay, even if assume that Apprentice Brothers relic was found by someone, how do you explain his final will? His final will was inserted into the flame ornament and would only appear when combined with your mothers moth ornament. Creating those words requires the combination of both your fathers fresh blood and Xuan energy. Could this also have been falsified? Ximen Wuya questioned. Dongfang Bingling turned her delicate face away, averting her ice-cold eyes. She clenched her teeth and said, What about my fathers final will? Ive never seen it, but merely heard about it from Yang Dingtian! Ximen Wuya was stunned and looked at Dongfang Bingling disbelievingly. A base person is truly invincible. A shameless person is impossible to defeat! Then, Ximen Wuya said to Jiang Songyang, Apprentice Brother Jiang, it seems that what was assumed isnt logical. Jiang Songyang replied, It truly doesnt make sense. Otherwise, why would we have brought so many people? It is no longer just a matter of the Flame ring, but a matter related to our Heads death. Please hand Yang Dingtian over to us. We need to question him regarding exactly how our Head passed away. Who did it? I understand now! Ximen Wuya answered gradually. If the truth doesnt make sense, then lets fight. Do you really want to fight? Jiang Songyang asked. Apprentice Brother Ximen, how do you rate your cultivation when compared to mine? More or less the same? Ximen Wuya said. Jiang Songyang replied, Youve built a strong reputation in public while I stayed quietly in the Yin Yang Sect. However, Im certainly not weaker than you in terms of strength. Twenty years ago, I fought our Head, Dongfang Niemie, and managed to beat him by a little. Yet, I am the weakest among all the top martial artists present. Apprentice Brother Wuying is proficient at killing. During our fight, although I managed to hurt him, my life ended up at risk. As for Uncle Ning Busi, he is way stronger than I am. It goes without mentioning that Im far behind Master Zhu. Ximen Wuya gave them a cold smile. Jiang Songyang went on, You are a Guru. So am I. It seems like you cant even defeat me, not to mention Uncle Ning Busi and Master Zhu. I really have no idea where your courage to fight came from. Why not just hand over Yang Dingtian? Ximen Wuya said, Apprentice Brother Jiang, lets fight and see. If you want to fight, then lets do it. Im the weakest among those gathered here, but I am enough to deal with you. Therefore, lets fight, said Jiang Songyang. He drew a ten-foot long giant sword from his back. Ximen Wuya drew from his sleeves a small sword that measured less than two-and-a-half feet in length. Apprentice Brother Jiang, are we sparring or fighting a life-or-death battle? Life-or-death battle! Jiang Songyang replied. Just as I thought. Ximen Wuya continued, That way is also good. The role that you played in the death of the previous Cloud Sky City Lord was not very honorable. Dont think that Im not aware. Since its a real battle, its time to collect on the previous debt. Youll die when you have to. Why talk nonsense? said Jiang Songyang with a sneer. Then, he swept the huge blade across his palm, and blood immediately spurted out, completely covering the giant blade. Bang... The blood burst into flame. The entire ten-foot long and half-a-foot wide blade ignited, illuminating the surrounding seas in a hundred meter radius. Jiang Songyang lifted the flame blade and spread the ten-meter long Xuan wings on his back. Bang! Jiang Songyang leaped into the air like a meteor and rushed towards Ximen Wuya in a flash. The killing vibe was so strong that the waves rose high in the sea. Jiang Songyang, a world-renowned elite, also had the title of Guru! He flew above Ximen Wuyas head and shouted, After today, there will be no Cloud Sky City in the world! Then, he thrust his ten-foot-long giant blade fiercely towards Ximen Wuya like a thunderbolt about to instantly shatter him into pieces. Ximen Wuya lifted his short, fine sword and received Jiang Songyangs shocking attack by tilting his blade a little. Swoosh... The sword swept horizontally, and Ximen Wuyas fine sword turned into a hundred-meter-long blue light, flashing like lightning across the dark sky. Crack... As if it were tofu being cut by a knife, Jiang Songyangs giant blade was cut into two pieces, along with his body. Blood gushed out. Jiang Songyang fell into the sea and died without even a full corpse. Everyone was shocked silent, completely stunned by the scene in front of them! Ximen Wuya had become extremely famous over the past few years, but everyone thought that he was only at the same level as Jiang Songyang. Thus, no one expected that Jiang Songyang would be killed in just one attack and would even be cut into two pieces. Furthermore, Ximen Wuya had acted so politely when talking to them just now, appearing as if he didnt want to fight. However, who could have expected that he was so violent when he actually did fight? Who will be next? asked Ximen Wuya. Then, he flicked the fine sword in his hand, and it returned to its original size, seeming like a majestic blade. Wuying from the Yin Yang Sect greets Ximen City Lord. A figure emerged from the darkness. This person was slender, soft, and of average height. Although he was a man, he had a delicate face like that of a woman. He looked like a woman, but this man was someone that frightened the whole world. As the adjudicator of the Yin Yang Sect, his only mission was to kill people. No matter how high his opponents cultivation or how lofty his opponents status, as long as he received the order, even if the target was thousands of miles away, he would take that persons life. Wuying, 45 years old, had been an adjudicator for fifteen years and had never failed. Even though he was a person from the Yin Yang Sect, he had neither ice nor fire Xuan Veins but rather wind Xuan veins. Some said that his cultivation wasnt that high in terms of martial arts and Xuan energy. Furthermore, among all the experts in the world, he was almost the only one to have not mastered a Xuan technique. Instead, he merely mastered martial techniques that employed the fine sword in his hand. However, among all the top elites in the world, his speed was the fastest, be it in swinging or drawing the sword. He firmly believed that in this world of martial arts, only speed could not be beaten. And, it was his speed that people couldnt counter. Hence, he was given the terrifying nickname Wind Phantom. He had never failed to kill the person that he wanted to kill, regardless of his opponents strength. He wasnt a Guru, but there were two Gurus who had died by his hand. Only the strongest people could be adjudicators. s?a??h th? N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Wuying was just an ordinary disciple from the Yin Yang Sect. His martial arts werent learned in Yin Yang Sect. He only became the adjudicator of the Yin Yang Sect because he was once saved by Dongfang Niemie. Apprentice Brother Wuying, please wait! Ximen Wuya said. Then, he levitated his body and lifted off of Cloud Sky Citys ship, hovering above the sea. Ximen Wuya closed his eyes slowly and said, Apprentice Brother Wuying, Im ready. Go ahead. Unexpectedly, Ximen Wuya closed his eyes to fight with Wuying. This was certainly not contempt. It was because Wuyings speed was too fast, and it would be impossible for Ximen Wuya to track him with his naked eyes. Therefore, he needed to sense the attack instead. Whoosh... Sure enough, Wuying disappeared from the night sky, leaving everyones field of vision. Then, a gust of wind blended with the sea breeze and surrounded Ximen Wuya. If he had opened his eyes, he would have discovered that Wuying was completely invisible at the moment. However, he knew that Wuying was beside him, poised to deliver a deadly strike at any time. Wuying killed people with only one stroke and had never missed. Even more powerful men with higher cultivations died under his sword. Ximen Wuya kept his eyes closed and didnt move his body. The breeze still surrounded him. Suddenly, an eye-catching light appeared, and a fine sword pierced towards Ximen Wuyas chest rapidly like a meteor in the dark. The attack originated from an ordinary position and came at an ordinary angle. However, it was fast, so fast that no one could repel it. In an instant, the fight between the two ended. The result of the fight between Ximen Wuya and the King Killer had been determined. Ding Ding Ding ... Chapter 28: The Ultimate Battle (Part 2) Chapter 28: The Ultimate Battle (Part 2)Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Ding Ding Ding..... However, it seemed like the sharp sword that pierced towards Ximen Wuyas chest had shattered inch by inch and broke. It was because the sword did not reach Ximen Wuyas chest but was instead blocked by his fine sword. Ximen Wuya had made an astonishing judgment regarding where Wuying was about to stab and moved his sword into position to block in advance. It would have been too late if he had reacted after Wuying attacked because his opponent was faster. After the sharp sword in Wuyings hand broke, the two stood still in silence. The Yin Yang Sect was shocked once again. Wuying was their adjudicator and the best killer in the world. He was even capable of killing elites two levels higher than him. But this time, he had lost to Ximen Wuya, which was perhaps the first time hes ever failed in his entire life. The Wind Phantom is undoubtedly unique in the world, defeating enemies with one move without fail, Ximen Wuya said. Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood and extracted a fine sword from his left chest, a seemingly invisible fine sword. Wuying said, People have only ever seen me wield my sword with my left hand and concluded that I was left-handed. The truth is that Im much faster with the sword using my right hand. Its just that I never had the chance to use it previously. Only when I fight Ximen Wuya, the City Lord, do I have the chance to wield the sword with my right hand. Everyone was shocked once again. No one had ever seen Wuying wield the sword with his right hand. Everyone thought he was left-handed. No one ever thought that it was merely because he didnt need to use his right hand. But, due to the fact that I needed to use my right hand today, half of my Wind Phantom name has been tarnished. Wuying sighed. Then, he bowed to Ximen Wuya and said, Thank you, Ximen Wuya, for showing mercy, or else I wouldve been crushed. Bang Bang Bang.... Then, energy suddenly exploded within Wuyings body several dozen times. His entire body became bloody, and blood spurted out from the seven apertures of his head. Ximen Wuya passed the bloody sword that he pulled out of his chest to Wuying. Brother Wuying, youve also shown me mercy. Otherwise, I could have possibly died. Throughout my life, there arent many whom I respect. The first would definitely be Apprentice Brother Dongfang Niemie. Apprentice Brother Wuying, you are another. You are by far the only martial artist who Ive seen solely focus on martial technique. If you were to practice Xuan techniques, you could have been one of the worlds Gurus. Wuying took back his own sword and wiped it with care. Ive loved my sword my entire life. I am the sword and the sword is me. If I were to practice Xuan techniques, it would mean betraying myself. Master Dongfang Niemie is no longer in this world. Hence, there is no longer a reason for me to stay in the Yin Yang Sect. From today onwards, there will be no more Wuying in the Yin Yang Sect. After saying that, Wuying instantly vanished into the night sky. The Yin Yang Sect remained silent. Looking towards where Wuying had disappeared, Ximen Wuya lightly wiped at the blood stain on his chest. Whos next? At this moment, an old man slowly walked out and stood in front of him, appearing as if he had just walked out of ones imagination. This old man was holding a dragon head walking stick. He had a hunched back, a head full of white hair, wrinkles all over his face, and was seemingly over a hundred years old. He was one of Yin Yang Sects Great Elders, Ning Busi. He was currently a hundred and five years old. Ximen Wuya, Im a generation older than you. Even Master Dongfang Niemie was nurtured by me. Ning Busi coughed. When I was on the mountain, I had heard of how great Cloud Sky Citys Ximen Wuya was, but those were just rumors. But, today Ive witnessed your strength. Its truly amazing. Uncle over-praises me, Ximen Wuya replied, bowing respectfully. Dont be so humble. You say that you arent as competent as Dongfang Niemie, but from what Ive seen, I dont think youre far behind him. Master Dongfang is gone. Perhaps, it would be nice if we could have you be the new Yin Yang Sect Head. At the very least, you could guarantee that the Yin Yang Sect will not be defeated for the next fifty years. When he uttered those words, Dongfang Bingling and the others facial expressions changed. Unfortunately, I have no authority in the Yin Yang Sect, while your Cloud Sky City also has the status of traitor. You are too strong. For the future of the Yin Yang Sect, I have to try my best. Dont blame me, Ximen Wuya. I dont dare, Ximen Wuya replied. In the end, however, Im still an elder, so I will only use one Xuan technique. If you could endure it, I will no longer get involved in matters tonight, Ning Busi promised. I abide, Ximen Wuya said. Ning Busi had gained the title of Guru a decade ago and was also Dongfang Niemies uncle. He was truly one of the worlds top elites and was one of the Yin Yang Sects pillars. During the past decade, although Dongfang Niemie wasnt around, since Ning Busi was still alive, no one dared offend Yin Yang Sect. Ning Busi slowly lifted the dragon head walking stick, and a blue flame emerged. Boom, Boom! Thunder boomed in the sky and a thick lightning bolt struck the surface of the sea. The roar of a dragon sounded out, and a fiery dragon rushed out from Ning Busis walking stick. It grew bigger and bigger until it ultimately transformed into a gigantic fiery dragon that was several dozen meters long. It circled and roared in the sky and started spitting clouds of flame. The surface of the sea suddenly exploded, kicking up tall waves over ten meters tall. The waters roiled, resembling a fire dragon. Ximen Wuya sucked in a cold breath and watched the dragon circling in the air. He certainly knew what it was. A Ninth-Rank Xuan Beast, the legendary fiery devil scale was actually kept by Ning Busi as a soul weapon. In the entire world, there was no one other than Wuying who solely focused on swordsmanship. All other martial artists focused on Xuan techniques due to their amazing destructive power and their long range. In addition, the combination attack of Xuan technique and soul weapon was devastating. Dragon Tactic That Never Dies, Ning Busi yelled, and instantly, his entire body burst into flame. The dragon that was hovering in the sky suddenly shattered into countless flames and merged with Ning Busis body. Ning Busis body expanded, transforming his thin frame into a humanoid flame ten meters tall. Countless small dragon flames circled around him. Starry Universe Sword Tactic, Ximen Wuya shouted. The sword he was holding flew up into the air and glowed extremely bright all of a sudden. The sword grew brighter and brighter and was aggressively absorbing all of the Xuan energy in the sea. Finally, the sword was shining so brightly that it seemed like a star, clearly visible for hundreds of miles. At this moment, the sword turned into a gigantic glowing sword several dozen meters tall. Split! The gigantic glowing sword in the air suddenly split into countless small meteor-like light swords, all of which then flew towards Ximen Wuya. The scene where hundreds of thousands of sharp, glowing swords were circling around Ximen Wuya was awe-inspiring. Each and every sharp, glowing sword had a soul and consciousness. Sword Soul? Its actually the Sword Soul? Someone in the world has actually mastered Sword Soul?! everyone from the Yin Yang Sect exclaimed disbelievingly. Sword Soul was where the martial artist did not use a Xuan beast to form his soul weapon. Instead, he trained his precious sword until it developed a soul of its own. Compared to using a Xuan beast to form a soul weapon, this method was ten times harder. However, once the martial artist succeeded, the effect was extremely shocking. This was because to nurture the swords soul, it had to absorb numerous Xuan beast soul weapons. As a result, Sword Soul was also known as the King of soul weapons. The Sword Soul was the King of soul weapons! There were not more than three people in the entire world who have managed to cultivate it.

How nice would it have been if you were a disciple of the Yin Yang Sect, Ning Busi said regretfully. But, since you are the City Lord of Cloud Sky City, the stronger you are, the more dangerous it will be for my Yin Yang Sect. I cant let Cloud Sky City gain legitimacy and reduce my Yin Yang Sect into an offshoot. Ning Busis gaze instantly hardened with resolution. The Art of Dragon Prison Break, go.... Ning Busi shouted loudly, pointing his dragon head walking stick towards Ximen Wuya. Instantly, hundreds of thousands of fire dragons flew out from the elders body and shot towards Ximen Wuya. Ten Thousand Swords Attack, go..., Ximen Wuya shouted, drawing his sharp sword. Immediately, all the sharp, glowing swords surrounding him shot forth. Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang.... Countless fire dragons and glowing swords collided, resounding like booming thunder. They burst into innumerable lights, appearing as if ten thousand lightning bolts had filled the entire night sky and turned it as bright as day. The fire dragons continuously flew out from Ning Busis body. Soon, there were fewer and fewer of them left around him. The glowing swords also continuously flew out from Ximen Wuyas body. Similarly, the number of glowing swords surrounding him grew fewer and fewer. The fire dragons and glowing swords, apart from their offensive capabilities, could also be used as energy shields to block the enemys Xuan technique attack. Therefore, Ning Busi and Ximen Wuya were attacking and defending at the same time. To attack with greater force, one had to sacrifice defensive power. Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang.... The violent explosions and powerful heat boiled the surrounding seawater, smashing several big ships nearby into pieces. Gong, Gong! The last explosive sound followed lights as bright as an exploding star, which tore through hundreds of miles in the night sky, bathing it completely in bright daylight. Hundreds of thousands of glowing swords and fire dragon vanished. Eventually, there was only a single one-meter-long fire dragon left circling Ning Busi. For Ximen Wuya, there was also only one two-and-a-half-foot long glowing sword circling him. Both of them made a decisive choice at the same time. Go..., they both shouted at the same time. The last sword was fired. The last fire dragon was fired. They whistled through the air. The two glowing shadows passed by each other. Pakk! The fire dragon slammed into Ximen Wuyas chest. Pakk! The sharp glowing sword pierced into Ning Busis chest. Crakkk... The sound of bones cracking echoed. Ning Busi spurt out a mouthful of blood. Ximen Wuya was pushed dozens of meters away by his opponents strike. Then, a bloody sword was ejected into the air. Cloud Sky City has been so quiet these years just to make you such an outstanding person? Ning Busi asked, holding his chest while coughing out blood. You alone have taken all the essence that Cloud Sky City has accumulated over a hundred years. But, you are a gentleman after all. If you had used Xuan techniques, even if there were ten Wuyings, they would all be dead. His swordsmanship was only suitable for stealth assassinations. It was not enough to compete with you in open combat. Well, Ill do what I promised. Since you managed to receive my Xuan technique without dying and even beat me by a little, I will no longer get involved in this matter. I will head back to the Yin Yang Sect and enter seclusion. After that, Ning Busi disappeared into the darkness. Ximen Wuya wiped off the blood at the corner of his mouth and asked lightly, Whos next? Everyone in the hall was silent. The Yin Yang Sect had long since disdained the fact that the world considered Ximen Wuya a true Guru. It was because they felt that the common people were just shallow. Today, they finally managed to witness Ximen Wuyas true power, which was beyond that of a true Guru? He was absolutely at the top level in the world. Jiang Songyang and Ning Busi were both also considered true Gurus. However, both of them were defeated by Ximen Wuya. ************* Ximen City Lord, please advise me. A seemingly normal and gentle voice echoed in the dark. Ximen Wuyas expression changed. Zhu Qingzhu, do you finally want to fight? Chapter 29: Dongfang Bingling’s Sword Chapter 29: Dongfang Binglings SwordTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Ximen City Lord is the strongest person in the world. How could he possibly fear me? Zhu Qingzhu said, hiding in the darkness with his figure completely invisible. Yes, Im a little afraid of you, Ximen Wuya replied. Dongfang Niemie was ranked first in the world, but I was not really afraid of him. You are placed in the second in the world, but I am a little scared. Its my honor. Zhu Qingzhu laughed. Not just me, but Apprentice Brother Dongfang Niemie also once said the same thing, Ximen Wuya continued. He once said that in this world, Zhu Qingzhu is someone who is completely unpredictable and whose thoughts are unfathomable. He said the world ranking is extremely unreliable. If you were to believe in those rankings, it would put you in danger. Master Dongfang overpraised me, Zhu Qingzhu replied calmly. However, Master Zhu is not part of the Yin Yang Sect. Do you have to intervene in this matter? Ximen Wuya asked. After Apprentice Brother Dongfangs passing, his daughter and wife were left alone. Bingling will probably marry my son in the future. Therefore, how can I, an elder, ignore this matter when Bingling is facing trouble. Whats more, Yang Dingtian cursed my Xuan Sky Sect to go extinct. I wont be able to justify it if I dont teach him a lesson. How about this? You take one of my strikes and Ill leave after that, Zhu Qingzhu said. I wont use Xuan techniques or any other tricks. Just one ordinary strike. What do you think? Sure, as you wish, Ximen Wuya agreed. But, since you have already fought three other people, it would be unfair for you to take my strike directly. Ill strike you through one large ship. With a large ship in between, the energy striking towards Ximen Wuya would be weakened. Just then, the sound of Zhu Qingzhu moving his sleeve could be heard in the dark. Fuuuuuu... Suddenly, a gigantic wooden ship that was ten meters long and over ten meters wide emerged from the darkness and drifted into position between Ximen Wuya and Zhu Qingzhu. Everyone was shocked and silent. Apprentice Brother Ximen, please do your best, Zhu Qingzhu said. Definitely, Ximen Wuya replied. Then, he shook his sleeves lightly with his palms and his entire robe swelled. He knew that the most dangerous moment in his life had come. The most dangerous battle he had ever faced had arrived. Although the three people that he fought earlier had seemed shocking, they were not dangerous. Although Jiang Songyang was one of the elites in the world, having the same title as Ximen Wuya, his cultivation was far lower. As for Wuying, although his swordsmanship and speed were incomparable, he wasnt trying to kill Ximen Wuya deep down in his heart. Plus, his cultivation was more or less the same as Jiang Songyangs. The Great Elder of the Yin Yang Sect, Ning Busi, was a top elite in the world and had achieved the rank of Guru more than ten years ago. He even owned the legendary soul weapon: the fiery devil scale. However, in terms of cultivation, Ximen Wuya was not inferior to the hundred-plus-year-old elder. On top of that, in terms of soul weapons, the Sword Soul that hed put all his heart into cultivating was comparable to all the other soul weapons in the world. Despite all that, he couldnt even see Zhu Qingzhus shadow. He was as deep as the huge ocean that couldnt be seen clearly by anyone. S?a?ch* Th? n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. So this time, Ximen Wuya was facing his most dangerous trial. If he managed to resist Zhu Qingzhu, the danger they faced that night could be considered over. Hopefully, no more top tier masters will appear after Zhu Qingzhu. Thus, Ximen Wuya was going to do his best to withstand this ordinary strike. He opened all of his pores so that every inch of his body could ferociously absorb Xuan Energy from the world, suffusing every inch of his veins and Sea of Energy with Xuan energy. Cohesion, cohesion, cohesion! The endless supply of Xuan Energy condensed in his Sea of Energy from every part of his body, causing it to expand more and more. This process was extremely dangerous as there was the possibility that the Sea of Energy would burst. Hence, Ximen Wuya had never done this before. However, he was facing his greatest crisis against the most powerful and dangerous enemy in the world. He must risk his life and concentrate Xuan Energy up to 120% of his normal capacity. When Apprentice Brother Ximen Wuya is ready, please take the first shot, Zhu Qingzhu said calmly. The Xuan Energy was gathered and reached his limit. Ximen Wuyas entire body was trembling, and his blood veins were cracking and leaking blood. This is the moment, the last battle! Ximen Wuya struck out, sending forth extremely powerful flame energy. Suddenly, the entire world fell silent. The flames light was swallowed up instantly, and the entire sea fell into darkness. In the dark, Zhu Qingzhu struck. The two strands of energy converged in the air. Boom... The 100-meter-long giant ship that was floating in the air was instantly crushed into powder and vanished silently into thin air. At the same time, another three large ships within a hundred meters of the collision were similarly crushed and erased. Then, Ximen Wuyas body jerked as if struck by an invisible air wall. His body was buffeted by the force. However, he did not take a step back, nor did he spit out any blood. In the darkness, Zhu Qingzhu sighed and slowly said, Ximen Wuya is truly the top Guru in the world. But, Im really curious about who is stronger, you or the late Master Dongfang? I shall leave now! After Zhu Qingzhu finished speaking, there was complete silence. It was as if he had never been there in the first place. However, after Zhu Qingzhu left, Ximen Wuya noticed that the spot where Zhu Qingzhu was standing just now was no longer shrouded in complete darkness. Some light had begun filtering back in. When he was around, it was as if he were swallowing up all the surrounding light such that all that was left was a black void. Ximen Wuya slowly said, Now, I suppose no one else would care to stop me? No one responded. Then, I shall take my leave and bring Yang Dingtian with me, Ximen Wuya declared. He turned, about to leave. Wait...., Dongfang Bingling interrupted. Ximen Wuya repeated, Who else wants to stop me? Me! she said. You? Ximen Wuya said while shaking his head. When your father and I were at your age, we werent as good as you. Your talent is rare, but you are still not my opponent now. How would you know if you dont try? Dongfang Bingling asked coldly. The flame ring is mine and Yang Dingtian must stay. No, you are too young. I cant hurt you, Ximen Wuya said. You are also unable to hurt me, Dongfang Bingling said coldly. Then, she raised her precious sword and shouted, Yin Yang formation, go! Whoosh... Immediately, dozens of people flew out from the surface of the sea like meteors and formed a circle in the air, spinning rapidly. This was the Tai Chi formation, measuring dozens of meters in diameter. Half of the formation was enveloped in a red fiery flame, while the other half was covered in blue cold ice. However, the two dots that were supposed to be in the middle were missing. Apprentice Brother Xue, go! Dongfang Bingling urged. Instantly, both Dongfang Bingling and Zhu Hongxue flew towards the two points in the Tai Chi formation. Dongfang Binglings entire body turned icy blue, while Zhu Hongxues turned blood red. Now, there were two dots in the middle of the Yin Yang formation. Dongfang Bingling and Zhu Hongxue along with dozens of Yin Yang Sect elders formed a complete Yin Yang formation. The entire Tai Chi formation was spinning rapidly around Zhu Hongxue and Dongfang Bingling, both of whom were floating in midair. Ximen Wuya was stunned. I never thought that you would be the most dangerous one, Dongfang Bingling. It seems like you will not let me leave here alive today, Ximen Wuya said slowly. Hand over Yang Dingtian. Then, you may not have to die. The flame ring is mine. I must get it. Uncle Ximen, you have just used up all of your Xuan energy and exhausted your Veins and Sea of Energys capacity to withstand Uncle Zhus strike just now. What you should do now is to step back and rest. Maybe in half a years time, you could recover. Otherwise, your life will be threatened. As long as you hand over Yang Dingtian, I will let you leave immediately. Ximen Wuya laughed. If my life needs to be spared by you, I might as well be dead. Ximen City Lord, you dont even have the slightest bit of Xuan energy left. How are you going to withstand my Yin Yang formations two-in-one sword? Just one swing and you would vanish instantly, Dongfang Bingling asked. Not necessarily..., Ximen Wuya said coldly. You can go ahead and try. Since youre seeking death, I will grant your wish, Dongfang Bingling replied coldly. Dont talk so much nonsense with him. Just kill him, said Zhu Hongxue. Yin Yang formations two-in-one sword, soul elimination! With this order from Dongfang Bingling, the entire Yin Yang formation spread out in a dazzling light. The Xuan energy of dozens of Yin Yang Sect elders converged on the two dots in the center, condensing around Dongfang Bingling and Zhu Hongxues long swords. The pairs swords grew brighter and brighter, and finally, they resembled stars in the night sky. Two swords combine! Then, both swords merged into a single one-hundred-meter-long giant sword. Dongfang Bingling raised it and aimed towards Ximen Wuya. Uncle Ximen, you forced me. Dont blame me for being heartless. As Dongfang Bingling let out a grief-stricken roar. The giant sword slammed down violently, instantly sundering the entire sea. Blood Thirst Technique ..., Ximen Wuya shouted as he spat out a mouthful of blood mist. Boom! The blood mist met the sword and started burning intensely. The thin sword in Ximen Wuyas hand also turned into a giant sword a hundred meters long. It swept forth and welcomed Dongfang Binglings giant sword, clashing with it violently. Bang! A thunder-like noise erupted as if a nuclear bomb had detonated. The dark sea was enveloped in a blinding light. Boom! Both energies exploded. On the surface of the sea, a huge wave one hundred meters tall swelled. Like a giant wall, it swept towards the east and smashed all of the Yin Yang Sects big ships into pieces. Ximen Wuyas body swiftly flew several dozen meters away. He spurted out a mouthful of blood. Everyone in Dongfang Binglings Yin Yang formation also vomited blood as if they had been struck by lightning. Only Dongfang Bingling had a touch of blood at the edge of her mouth. Meanwhile, there was no trace of blood on Zhu Hongxue, who just looked a little pale. Ximen Wuya City Lord is truly unpredictable. Youve even mastered the legendary blood thirst technique, Dongfang Bingling commented. However, Im aware that this blood thirst technique turns all the blood in the body into Xuan energy. Using it once will use up half of your lifespan. Over the past few centuries, no one had ever dared use it a second time. I really want to see how you are going to withstand my second two-in-one sword attack. Chapter 30: Goodbye, Dongfang Bingling Chapter 30: Goodbye, Dongfang BinglingTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales You can go ahead and try, Ximen Wuya said slowly. I also want to see how many elders of the Yin Yang Sect will still be alive after the second sword. No matter how much of a price I have to pay, Ill bear it, Dongfang Bingling said coldly. I never regret nor look back at the things I do. Yin Yang formation, second sword, Blood Thirst! Obeying Dongfang Binglings order, more than a dozen people in the Yin Yang formation once again condensed their Xuan Energy towards Zhu Hongxue and Dongfang Bingling. Once again, the two swords combined to form a hundred-meter-long bloody-red giant sword. This giant sword was longer, thicker, and stronger than the first one. From tonight onwards, there will be no Ximen Wuya in the world, and there will be no Cloud Sky City either. Dongfang Bingling held the sword up high and then slammed it down after letting out a roar. Wait! Suddenly, a fragile voice sounded out from a thousand meters away. Then, a door on Cloud Sky Citys ship opened. A figure rushed out. It was Yang Dingtian. After he had been force-fed the pill, he had completely lost consciousness. However, in the depths of his mind, he was desperately trying to wake up as Uncle Ximen was facing his greatest crisis. Using his strong determination, he finally woke up. Yang Dingtian, get back in there! Ximen Wuya shouted when he saw him walking out. No, Uncle Ximen, Yang Dingtian said. Master sacrificed himself for my freedom and for my future. I swore that I would never let anyone close to me die for me again. Never! Dongfang Bingling! Yang Dingtian shouted loudly at Dongfang Bingling who was hovering in the air. Yang Dingtian, are you asking for mercy now? Its too late. The arrow is already on the string. I must loose it. Dongfang Bingling continued coldly, Knowing this would happen, you shouldnt have run away. Its useless even if you regret it now. If you hadnt been too ambitious and attempted to gain the impossible, you couldve been a disciple of the Yin Yang Sect by now. Yang Dingtian sucked in a deep breathe of damp air. I have never known regret! I came to negotiate with you. Yang Dingtian raised his right-hand ring finger. Do you want the flame ring? It was mine to begin with, Dongfang Bingling replied. Im the most suitable candidate for the position of Yin Yang Sect Head. Who says that a woman cannot become Sect Head? But, Master gave this to me. Dont you dare say I picked it up. You know that master passed it to me personally. That was because my father was muddle-headed. Thats the only reason why he would give this flame ring an ordinary person like you, Dongfang Bingling replied. Yang Dingtian, if you still think of me as your uncle, go back in now, Ximen Wuya ordered. Believe me. I will definitely protect you tonight. Uncle Ximen, dont say that. You will surely die under my second sword attack, Dongfang Bingling said. It is so easy for me to kill you at this moment. You can give it a try, Ximen Wuya said with a cold laugh. Ill see how many people I will be able to drag into the grave with me. Im guessing that the surface of the sea will soon be completely dyed red? You really are seeking death, Dongfang Bingling said. She readied her sword for a strike. Dongfang Bingling, do you dare fight me? Yang Dingtian suddenly shouted to stop her. Then, he faced Ximen Wuya. Uncle, trust me just this once. Trust me just this once. Dont sacrifice yourself for me. Just trust me this time. Leave it to me! Then, Yang Dingtian continued, Dongfang Bingling, dont you want to get back your flame ring? Dont you want to prove that your father was muddle-headed for not passing the flame ring to you? In five years, well have a fight! If I win, I want to take back everything that belongs to me, including my dignity. If I lose, Ill kneel in front of you, admit that I was wrong, and give you my life. Ill even kneel while passing you the Flame Ring? How about it? Five years? You? Dongfang Bingling scoffed. Yang Dingtian, do you know what level you are now? Do you know what level I am? Do you know how wide the gap between you and me is? I dont know, but it should be huge, Yang Dingtian replied. If I were a star in the sky, you would be an ant on the ground. Even if you were given a thousand or ten thousand years, you would never be able to reach my level, Dongfang Bingling stated proudly. My talent is great and rare. Even so, it took me a dozen years to reach my current level. Did you know that even my father at my age was way behind me now? In less than 15 years, I will surpass him and become the strongest Yin Yang Sect Head this century. Thirty or forty years later, I will even be able to challenge the Martial Saint realm that no one has ever reached in the past few centuries. Since that is so, why would you be worried about five years? Yang Dingtian said: Five years later, you and I will have a match. It will be a more legitimate way for you to snatch back the flame ring! Even if the mountains and rivers collapse, even if the sun rises from the west and sets in the east, even if the river flows backwards, even if the sea dries up, you will not be my match in five years, Dongfang Bingling said coldly. But sorry, I still refuse. Why? Yang Dingtian asked. Why should I accept an ants challenge? If I were to freely accept any cats or dogs challenge, I wouldnt have time to do anything else. No one has the authority to challenge me, Dongfang Bingling said proudly. So, Im going to end everything tonight. Im going end Ximen Wuya, end Cloud Sky City, and end you, Yang Dingtian, Dongfang Bingling said with a determined tone. Her killing intent grew even stronger. S?a?ch* Th? N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Hahahaha... Ximen Wuya laughed.I didnt realize that Dongfang Niemie had such an ambitious daughter. Come on, Dongfang Bingling. Ill witness how you end everything! said Ximen Wuya while laughing. Go to hell! Dongfang Bingling flung her sword. Oh... Suddenly, a figure appeared under her giant sword. It was an extremely beautiful and delicate figure. It was Dongfang Binglings mother, who was also Yang Dingtians Masters wife. She was still extremely beautiful, looking like someone whod stepped out of a dream or a painting. Her gaze was like water and was as beautiful as flowers. It was absolutely unique. The long red dress accentuated her delicate body like a magic spell. Dongfang Bingling, you must agree with Yang Dingtians terms. The madam pulled out a dagger and placed it against her neck. You must promise him, or you can kill me together with him. Dongfang Bingling immediately stopped her giant sword. The tears that shed been holding back were finally shed. Mom, are you trying to force me to my death? In your eyes, am I not as good as Yang Dingtian, an outsider? He is not an outsider. He is your future husband and your fathers disciple. Accept his five-year agreement or I will die in front of you. Im such a failure as a mother. Im not as strong as you and cant stop you from killing others. However, I am still capable of killing myself, the madam said softly with determination. Yang Dingtian stood up and was about to say something when the madam stopped him. Yang Dingtian, dont say anything. I must apologize to you. Its me who wasnt capable enough to let the two of you become enemies. You follow Uncle Ximen to Cloud Sky City. Five years later, come back to the Yin Yang Sect. I believe in your Masters vision. In five years, you will definitely be able to get back whats supposed to be yours with your own strength, the madam continued. What? Dongfang Bingling, do you really want to watch me die in front of you? Ximen Wuya looked at Dongfang Niemies wife and sighed. Apprentice Sister, you dont actually have to do this. I can really protect Yang Dingtian. For your and Apprentice Brother Dongfangs sakes, I will not kill Dongfang Bingling. But, you would die! Dongfangs wife said. I cant let my daughter make such an unforgivable mistake. I cant let these two children become life-and-death enemies. Then, the madam exerted some pressure on the dagger, instantly causing blood to flow out. Then, she stared at Dongfang Bingling. Okay, I promise you, mom! Dongfang Bingling said. At this time, I really have to wonder. Am I truly your daughter? Dongfang Bingling clenched her lips so hard that they bled. She stared at Yang Dingtian hatefully and poke in a voice that was even colder than the ice cave. Yang Dingtian, keep our five-year agreement in mind. In five years, I will certainly break you into pieces. In five years, I will wipe Cloud Sky City off the face of this world. Yang Dingtian looked at Dongfang Bingling and enunciated word-by-word, In five years, I will use my own strength to take back everything that belongs to me, including my dignity. I will have you pay for the shame you gave me! The madam faced Ximen Wuya. Go, Apprentice Brother Ximen Wuya. Take Yang Dingtian to Cloud Sky City and cultivate him. I formally entrust him to you. Ximen Wuya bowed. I will definitely not let you down! Apprentice Sister, goodbye! Ximen Wuyas body floated up and landed back on Cloud Sky Citys ship. He picked up Yang Dingtian and walked directly to his cabin. Yang Dingtian shouted at his Masters wife, I will visit you at the Yin Yang Sect in five years. If you are willing, I will take care of you for the rest of your life. The madam gently smiled. Her smile was reflected across the entire surface of the sea and was as beautiful as flowers. Okay, Ill be waiting! she said slowly. In the end, Yang Dingtian also shouted with all his might towards Dongfang Bingling. Dongfang Bingling, in five years, Ill see you at the Yin Yang Sect! In five years, I will take back everything that belongs to me! ... ****** The big ship sailed on towards the Cloud Sky City. In a cabin, there were three people: Yang Dingtian, Ximen Wuya, and Ximen Yanyan. Ximen Wuya was sitting on the couch. He was still very handsome. Although he was a little weak, no trace of injury was visible. His handsome face even seemed to glow. Ximen Yanyan stood next to Yang Dingtian. Although she looked a little tired, her cheeks were still extremely pretty. Her curvy body exuded a charming body fragrance. The two youngsters had faces that were filled with concerns, filled with care, and filled with anxiety. There is not much time left, Ximen Wuya said slowly. Yanyan, Yang Dingtian, kneel. Ximen Yanyan was stunned but still knelt. Yang Dingtians expression changed slightly, but he also knelt. Yang Dingtian, I will betroth Ximen Yanyan to you as your wife. Will you love her forever, protect her forever, and take care of her forever? Ximen Wuya asked slowly as he looked at Yang Dingtian. Chapter 31: The Wedding Chapter 31: The WeddingTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Ximen Yanyan shouted in shocking, Daddy... Yang Dingtian also hurriedly said, Uncle, didnt we agree before not to do this? Dont force Yanyan to marry me. Ximen Wuya ignored their words. He stared at Yang Dingtian and slowly repeated, Yang Dingtian, I betroth Ximen Yanyan to you as your wife. Will you love her forever, protect her forever, and take care of her forever? He stared at Yang Dingtian, his gaze filled with his numerous thoughts. At the same time, there was actually only one main thought. Yang Dingtian said sadly, You will be alright. You dont have to do this. Answer me, Yang Dingtian, Ximen Wuya instructed word-by-word. Yes, Uncle. Yang Dingtian affirmed. I will take care of Yanyan forever. I will protect her forever. Ximen Wuyas gaze turned back to his daughter. Then, he said word-by-word, Ximen Yanyan, I betroth you to Yang Dingtian. Are you willing to love him forever, treat him as your heaven and earth, and manage his home for him? Daddy..., Ximen Yanyan cried.Why do you have to be like this? Why do you have to be like this? Ximen Yanyan, could it be that you want to disobey your fathers order just like Dongfang Bingling? Ximen Wuya asked fiercely. I....I dont dare, Ximen Yanyan stuttered. Ximen Wuya then asked, Then, tell me right now. Are you willing to marry Yang Dingtian? Are you willing to love him forever, treat him as your heaven and earth, give birth to his children, and manage his home for him? Ximen Yanyan cried and fell to the floor. She said sobbingly, I will! I will! I will do anything as long as you recover. Dont scare me. Dont scare me. Ximen Wuyas face turned serious. Alright, then you both will get married today. Well hold the ceremony here. Uncle! Yang Dingtian rushed to say. Lets talk about it after we reach Cloud Sky City... Do it right here, Ximen Wuya said with determination. Are you both going to disobey me? We dont dare! Yang Dingtian and Ximen Yanyan both lowered their heads. Good. Then, both of you stand up, Ximen Wuya ordered. Yang Dingtian and Ximen Yanyan stood up. Face east and bow to heaven and earth! Ximen Wuya ordered. The two of them kneeled facing east and bowed. S~?a??h the N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Dingtian, where are your parents? Ximen Wuya asked. They are not in this world, Yang Dingtian replied. Then, let me take their place! Ximen Wuya said. Kneel facing me. Bow a second time towards your parents! Yang Dingtian and Ximen Yanyan both kneeled facing Ximen Wuya and bowed! Husband and wife, bow to each other! They both kneeled facing each other. They bowed before slowly standing up. Yang Dingtian was a little embarrassed when he saw Ximen Yanyans eyes brimming with tears. Both of you, come over. Ximen Wuya waved at them. Yang Dingtian and Ximen Yanyan both walk forward. Ximen Wuya grabbed both of their hands, looked at Yanyan with a warm and loving face, saying: Good daughter, your cultivation is a lot lower than Dongfang Binglings. Your popularity is also lacking when compared to hers. But, you have always been daddys precious gem. You are my baby girl. No matter how strong or weak you are, I am proud of you. Since you were a child, daddy couldnt bear to scold you, couldnt bear to let you suffer. Whenever I thought about your getting married when you grew up, I got both excited and upset. I never thought that this day would come so fast. I havent pampered you enough, and you are already getting married. I really am reluctant. Ximen Wuya sighed, staring at his own daughter. Then, Ximen Wuya used an unprecedented gentle tone to say, From today onwards, my daughter will have another man to love her. Dont worry, daddy chose the best husband for you. He will protect you just like I did and will be reluctant to let you suffer even the slightest. Yang Dingtian, am I correct? Ximen Wuya looked at Yang Dingtian and asked. Yes, yes. I will definitely do that. Yang Dingtian forcefully held in his tears and nodded. Ximen Wuya grabbed Yang Dingtians hand tightly. Son, I wont be able to protect you in the future. You need to rely on yourself and remember what youve promised. I have passed my baby daughter, Cloud Sky City and even my dreams to you. At this moment, Ximen Wuyas gaze was like a flickering flame, getting smaller and smaller, dimmer and dimmer. Ah... Then, Ximen Wuya spat out a mouthful of black blood that flew several dozen meters away. A bunch of black gas emerged from his blood, causing the flowers in the cabin to instantly dry out and die off. Uncle, what happened? You were completely fine when the fight ended! Yang Dingtian exclaimed. How do I save you? Please tell me. Its useless! Ximen Wuya smiled at Yang Dingtian. Zhu Qingzhus strike has almost completely extinguished my life. His Xuan Energy has some sort of property that is capable of swallowing everything: my veins, blood, Xuan energy, Sea of Energy.... Ive already tried to overestimate the danger he posed, but I still never expected this. The Yin Yang Sect Great Elders attack did not hurt me much. Dongfang Binglings Yin Yang formation also did not take my life. However, Zhu Qingzhus soft strike destroyed my life force, and he hadnt even used all of his energy. Ximen Wuyas breathing was getting weaker and weaker. Son, remember to never fight Zhu Qingzhu in the future. His Xuan energy is the absolutely destructive type. Even if a little of his energy enters your body, it will spread and swallow your entire body, turning your Xuan Energy and blood into a dark energy. Very quickly, your entire body will be filled with this type of dark energy, which will eventually consume your life. You can be saved. You can be saved. Just tell me how. Tell me how! Yang Dingtian said. I cant be saved. The dark energy has already spread to my Sea of Energy and heart. Most of my blood has already turned black. You know what happens after this dark energy reaches the Sea of Energy and the heart? Yang Dingtian shook his head. I will become a Blood Thirst monster, completely insane and only knowing how to kill. I will kill everyone on this ship, Ximen Wuya said. Instantly, Yang Dingtian and Ximen Yanyan were stunned. You wont. Daddy, you definitely wont do such thing, Ximen Yanyan cried. This type of Xuan energy is called Soul Eater. Ive only seen it in books but never thought that this evil technique would appear again in the world. Ximen Wuya smiled and said, Ive used every possible means to control this Soul Eater energy but still failed. Look at my eyes. The surface of my black pupil is growing larger and larger. When it completely covers my eyes, I would have become a Blood Thirst monster! You both dont want me to be that kind of monster right? Ximen Wuya smiled. Remember to not tell anyone about the Soul Eater, or it would cause a disaster. Time is up! Ximen Wuya looked at Yang Dingtian. Son, I believe that you will do well! Protect Yanyan. Protect Cloud Sky City..... Yang Dingtian, Uncle can no longer protect you. You need to depend on yourself in the future! After he finished talking, Ximen Wuya suddenly struck his heart with a powerful strike. He was so fast that he couldnt be stopped. Daddy, dont... Uncle, dont.... Yang Dingtian and Ximen Yanyan yelled at the same time. Ximen Wuya then spat out his last mouth of blood, closed his eyes, and stopped breathing. Daddy, dont leave me..... Ximen Yanyan cried so hard that she suddenly fainted. Yang Dingtian couldnt hold his tears in any longer. They rushed down his face. Foster father... Ximen Yan rushed in from outside. He knelt in front of Ximen Wuya and burst into tears. Instantly, the people of Cloud Sky City rushed in and looked at Ximen Wuya disbelievingly. They were stunned as if they had been struck by lightning. In their hearts, Ximen Wuya was as strong as God, unbeatable and immortal. But now... Everyone slowly knelt down, as if heaven and earth were disrupted. Maybe it felt like that to them because Ximen Wuya was the Lord of Cloud Sky City. Ximen Yanyan slowly woke up. Looking at the crowd crying in the cabin, she yelled, What are you all crying for? My dad isnt dead yet. He is only deeply injured and is meditating to recover. This time, he will meditate and rest for three years. In three years, my father will wake up, Ximen Yanyan declared. So remember, these three coming years will be the most dangerous period for Cloud Sky City. In order to survive, we must work together. Whats the point of crying here now? My father has protected you all for so many years. Its time we relied on ourselves. Go back to your own designated positions. Do what you are supposed to do. Remember, in the future, tell outsiders that my father is meditating. Anyone who spread what happened today will be stripped of his/her cultivation and be thrown out of our faction. Instantly, everyone stopped crying. Their faces even showed a glimmer of hope. Still not leaving? Ximen Yanyan asked. My father needs to meditate in a quiet environment. Remember to send Fifth Rank Recovery Pills every day. Burn them beside him. In this way, his recovery would progress faster. After she said this, everyone started believing that Ximen Wuya was really just meditating. Yes, Miss! Then, everyone bowed and left. Ximen Yan stayed back and waited until everyone else left. Yanyan, you can lie to others but you cant lie to me. Foster father has already passed on. Then, he stared at Yang Dingtian, full of hatred. Its because of you that foster father died. You are such an unlucky person. Chapter 32: Blood Vow! Yanyan’s Heart Chapter 32: Blood Vow! Yanyans HeartTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Ximen Yan, did you not hear what I said? Ximen Yanyan said vehemently: My dad is not dead. Hes just meditating to recover. You better remember this. Also, from today onwards, Yang Dingtian is my husband, the future Cloud Sky City Lord, so you should be careful when you speak, Ximen Yanyan said coldly. What? Yanyan, what did you just say? Ximen Yan could hardly believe what he just heard. What? Didnt you hear me clearly? Ximen Yanyan then said word-by-word, From today onwards, Yang Dingtian will be my husband, the future Cloud Sky City Lord and our Head, so you must be careful when you speak. Ximen Yan pointed at Yang Dingtian and said, Yanyan, youre marrying him? But, isnt he useless? Why? This useless man even dreamed of marrying Dongfang Bingling and becoming the Yin Yang Sect Head. He ended up humiliated and almost got killed. Now, hes eyeing our Cloud Sky City? Dont even dream of letting this kind of useless man be the Lord of Cloud Sky City! Ximen Yanyans beautiful little face showed a cold expression. This was my fathers decision. We had just gone through the ceremony and have become husband and wife. Are you going to disobey my fathers orders? Ximen Yans handsome face suddenly twitched. He shouted, What on earth? Why? Im so good to you. I treat you like a princess. I listen to you. I work hard for the Ximen family. I have done so much, and you and foster father just turn a blind eye? Now, you even let such a useless outsider step on me and become the new Head? Haha.... Ximen Yan let out a pitiful laugh. Its really a big barren world! Foster son, foster son? Those were just pretty words. I was really naive and had really thought of myself as the son of the Ximen family. Apparently, I was just a slave, only a slave. Haha.... I cannot accept this. I cannot accept this... Ximen Yans tone changed from grief to cold. Ximen Yanyan asked coldly, Ximen Yan, are you trying to rebel? Rebel? Ximen Yan sneered. No, I am just concerned about the fate of Cloud Sky City. Now that the City Lord is dead, I, as the foster son of the Cloud Sky City Lord, absolutely will not hand over the fates of thousands of Cloud Sky City citizens to a useless outsider. Ximen Yanyans face changed. She sensed a dangerous situation brewing. What do you want to do? S?a?ch* Th? N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Im going to go find my brothers outside to see if they can accept an outsider stepping on their heads? Ximen Yan said. I absolutely do not believe that this was the City Lords order. Maybe someone falsified his last will? Then, well throw this useless outsider into the sea. Anyways, he is a disaster. Letting him stay on the boat will only bring disaster to our entire Cloud Sky City. Ximen Yan, do you dare? Ximen Yanyan asked fiercely. Why would I not dare? Ximen Yan asked bluntly. Can you stop me? Do you think you are my opponent? Last time when we competed, I went easy on you. Otherwise, I couldve beaten you with even one hand. After saying that, Ximen Yan turned to leave. Ximen Yanyan panicked and suddenly drew her sword. She coldly said, Ximen Yan, if you take one more step, dont blame my sword for being merciless. Is it? Ximen Yan looked up and scoffed coldly. I dont even need to use a weapon against you. If I cant defeat you within ten moves, then consider me another useless person! Ximen Yanyan got extremely furious and rushed towards him. Yang Dingtian got between them, looked at Ximen Yan, and asked, Do you really want to fight here in front of Uncle? Ive no choice, Ximen Yan said. Im doing this for the sake of Cloud Sky City. I cant bear to see it get ruined by the two of you. Yanyan is not your match. Theres no need to fight, Yang Dingtian said. Deep down in your heart, you are not satisfied. You want to cause a fuss just to ruin me, am I right? Ximen Yan coldly sighed but did not agree or disagree. Doing this may ruin my future, but it also brings you no benefit, Yang Dingtian said. Why not do things in a way that will be more beneficial to you? In two years, lets have a match. If I lose, I will immediately give up the position of heir to Cloud Sky City. Then, Ill recommend you to be the new Cloud Sky City Lord. Ximen Yans eyes flashed brightly, but he also sneered. Ive been ranked in the top 10 among Cloud Sky Citys disciples. Ive been practicing for twenty years, and you want to beat me in just two? Dream on! Also, youre not even qualified to be Cloud Sky City Lord. How would you be qualified enough to recommend me? Im not qualified, but Yanyan is, Yang Dingtian said. Ximen Yanyan wanted to say something, but she eventually shut her mouth without uttering a word. Two years? You? Ximen Yan said with a sneer. I have no idea why foster father thought so highly of you. Youre such a useless man. In such a short time, you want to beat me? In your dreams! Isnt it a good way? My loss would mean that father-in-law had really judged me incorrectly. I would not be qualified to be Yanyans husband, nor would I be qualified to be Cloud Sky City Lord, Yang Dingtian argued. Why should I believe you? Ximen Yan said coldly. Yang Dingtian said, I can swear that I will fight Ximen Yan in two years. If I lose, I dont deserve to be Ximen Yanyans husband, and Im also not qualified to become the future Lord of Cloud Sky City. Ill disqualify myself from the race for the position of Cloud Sky City Lord, leave, and never step foot in Cloud Sky City for the rest of my life. If I violate this oath, I will die horribly and be forever denied reincarnation. Ximen Yan said, Swear on your parents names. Yang Dingtian was only enraged. The muscles on his face twitched. If I break the oath, let my parents have no peace! Is it okay now? Yang Dingtian asked. And you, Yanyan, swear on foster fathers reputation, Ximen Yan said. Ximen Yanyan remained silent and stared at Ximen Yan coldly. Ximen Yans avoided her stare. I am only doing this for Cloud Sky City. Ximen Yanyan stared at Ximen Yan and slowly said word-by-word, In two years, Yang Dingtian will have a match with Ximen Yan. If Yang Dingtian loses, he will automatically lose the qualification to become Cloud Sky City Lord. I will then recommend Ximen Yan to be the next Cloud Sky City Lord. If I go against my vow, let my father, Ximen Wuya, slice me to death! Obviously, this oath didnt match Ximen Yans requirement. However, looking at Ximen Yanyans fiery gaze, Ximen Yan moved his mouth a little but didnt ask for anything else. Ximen Yan, can you leave now? Ximen Yanyan asked coldly. Yanyan, Im doing this for Cloud Sky City. Ximen Yan said. Then, he turned to Yang Dingtian and laughed. Useless man, I shall let you live for this short period of time. In two years, I will turn you into an absolutely useless man. Hng! Ximen Yan sighed and left. ********** The entire cabin turned completely silent. Ximen Yanyan could finally no longer hold in her emotions. Tears burst out from her eyes, and she looked sadly at her father. She tried hard to stop crying as she was afraid of making too much noise. Since she was a child, she had been protected by her father, just like a princess. Now, everything had changed. Her sky collapsed. Her foster brother that was previously obedient had shown his evil side. Her broken heart had once again collapsed. She could no longer shoulder everything any longer. Who could she rely on now? She wasnt an ambitious woman like Dongfang Bingling. These past few years, she had only wanted to live a carefree life under her fathers protection. Yang Dingtian was heartbroken as he watched Ximen Yanyan crying helplessly. This curvy and fiery body in front of him looked so weak and hurt that he wanted to comfort her and whisper into her ear that he will protect her from today onwards. Yanyan, do you hate me? However, he was only able to utter this one sentence. Ximen Yanyan raised her beautiful head and glanced at Yang Dingtian with her teary eyes. There was a glimpse of hatred, but it instantly turned into grief. Anyone else in her situation would definitely hate him. If he hadnt protected Yang Dingtian, Ximen Wuya wouldnt have faced such an ending. He would have still been one of the top martial artists in the world and would have led Cloud Sky City for several more decades. Even Xuan Sky Sects Zhu Qingzhu might not have easily been able to move against him. However, everything had changed because of Yang Dingtian. Hate, how can I not hate you? At first, you didnt sell the flame accessory to me, was rude to me, and made my father scold me. I already hated you so much. Now that you caused my daddy to become like this, how could I not hate you? Yang Dingtian looked at her, wanting to say sorry. However, he ultimately didnt because this wasnt a situation a simple apology could resolve. Ximen Yanyan stared at Yang Dingtian. But, dont worry. Im not Dongfang Bingling. Daddy had me marry you. I will be your wife wholeheartedly and assist you. Deep down in my heart, I still hate you, but I will listen to my dads words and learn to be your wife. So dont worry. Even if you want to have intimate contact with me, I will not reject you. I will fulfill my duty as your wife.... On top of that, as your wife, I will no longer scold or disrespect you like before. I even wont order you around to do things. But, if you want anything more than that, Im sorry. I wont be able to give it to you! What was anything more? Ximen Yanyan was talking about her heart. Yang Dingtian nodded. He didnt utter a word and kneeled in front of Ximen Wuya. He pulled out a dagger and drew a line across his hand. He wiped the fresh blood on his face. I, Yang Dingtian, swear towards the heaven and chaotic mainland. I will definitely wipe out Zhu Qingzhus entire Sect. I will definitely help Cloud Sky City take the status of legitimacy from the Yin Yang Sect. I will definitely protect Ximen Yanyan forever, ensuring that she never comes to harm. If I violate my oath, I will die and be buried in the chaotic mainland! This was the most powerful oath in the chaotic mainland, a blood oath! Chapter 33: Getting Along! Back to Cloud Sky City Chapter 33: Getting Along! Back to Cloud Sky CityTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Cloud Sky City ship traveled all the way to the west. This time, it didnt stop at the frosty land where the Thousand Kilometer Ice Stream was. Instead, they bypassed the continent along its coastline and continued onwards to Cloud Sky City that was located in the Northwest Mainland. Along the journey, they encountered many ships but had yet to encounter any trouble. All the ships made way when they saw Cloud Sky Citys flag. Apparently, nobody knew what had happened to Ximen Wuya. Yang Dingtian was worried about the Xuan Sky Sect, but even they had not come make trouble for them in the middle of the sea. Possibly because of Yang Dingtians two-year commitment, Ximen Yan hadnt started any trouble, but he had started enticing and persuading others. Ximen Yanyan did not do anything other than stay beside her father around the clock. She didnt eat, didnt drink, didnt say a word, having completely wrapped herself up in her gloom. Each time Yang Dingtian brought her meal, she just let it sit, not taking a single bite. After refusing food and drink for several days in a row and barely sleeping, Ximen Yanyans condition deteriorated. Her two big beautiful eyes were red and swollen. Her charming baby fat face had slimmed, and her cheeks had become sharper. This change transformed her into a totally different kind of beauty. Ximen Yanyan was burning her own lifeforce. Yang Dingtian knew that none of his words could persuade Ximen Yanyan as she refused to talk to him. However, this state of affairs could not continue. Otherwise, Ximen Yanyan would die. Thus, Yang Dingtian did nothing. He just sat next to Ximen Yanyan, staying with her without eating, drinking, or sleeping. He had yet to recover from serious injuries and could die at any moment. Just two days later, his face was dark and dim. Seeing that Yang Dingtian was unsteady, Ximen Yanyan said, You dont have to do this. You have more important missions to complete. Yang Dingtian asked, What missions? Fighting Dongfang Bingling, taking back what belongs to you, and helping Cloud Sky City to gain authentic status as the real Yin Yang Sect, Ximen Yanyan answered. Of course, these are my missions, but there is something important even more important, Yang Dingtian replied. That something is protecting you from harm. This is the first and most important mission that Uncle Ximen gave me. If this mission cant be accomplished, the other missions will be meaningless. Im currently too weak to protect you. Perhaps, it might be a good idea to die with you. Ximen Yanyans dim eyes flashed with light, but she still remained silent. Yang Dingtian thought for a moment before continuing, When I first came to this world, I had nothing. There isnt a single reason for me to fight for anything. I was alive without purpose. Then, I met my Master. We became just like father and son, so meeting his expectations became my mission. That was until I reached the Yin Yang Sect. You should know about the subsequent trouble, right? Then, the enmity towards Dongfang Bingling became my reason for living. And now, Uncle Ximen had become like this because of me..., so the tasks he entrusted to me became my reason to survive. Then, I saw your tears and your grief... Yang Dingtian looked at Ximen Yanyans beautiful little face. You used to be very rude and insulting. Even though you beat me half to death, I still prefer that Ximen Yanyan since that was the real you. S~?a??h the Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Ximen Yanyan shook her head. But, right now, I no longer dare act so barbarically. The one who allowed me to do so is gone. So... Yang Dingtian looked seriously at Ximen Yanyan. Letting you regain your enthusiasm and go back to being unruly are also my missions. The reason for me to keep on fighting is because this is what I owe you. Master is gone. So is Uncle Ximen... Yang Dingtian continued, I dont want hatred to completely fill my heart, so your happiness has become my last and most important reason. Protecting a person is more meaningful than hatred, and it makes more sense than some vague mission, right? Yang Dingtian asked. Ximen Yanyan raised her head, staring at Yang Dingtian for a moment with her big eyes. The ice encasing her heart seemed to crack open. Youre good at consoling girls hearts, but it is a shame that my heart is already... Ximen Yanyan lifted her beautiful face. But, at least now, I dont hate you as much as before... Then, she started to eat. However, you dont need to worry. I will play my role as your wife, but I really cant give you more. Im sorry! ****** They had sailed on the sea for more than two months. During this time, Yang Dingtian spent most of his time immersed in medicinal soup. He also read all kinds of books. He must acquire enough knowledge and a firm foundation before formally starting to practice this worlds Martial Arts. Yang Dingtian and Ximen Yanyan seemed to have exhausted all conversation topics in their last chat. Ximen Yanyan had not spoken to Yang Dingtian ever since. She stayed in the cabin every day, staying by her fathers side. She only came out when she wanted to shower. Yang Dingtian did not want to see her like this and looked for a million reasons to talk to her, but she only ever responded with a humph. Therefore, Yang Dingtian took a book and sat beside her every day, reading carefully and asking questions whenever he did not understand. Finally, Ximen Yanyan could not no longer stand it and yelled, Why are you so stupid? This is so easy, and you still dont get it? Yang Dingtian then started ceaselessly asking questions. He was never embarrassed in this area. It turned out that he asked very often and listened very seriously. Thus, Ximen Yanyan partially became his teacher. After Yang Dingtian finished reading a few dozen books, their journey across the sea finally ended. They once again stepped onto land. Stepping onto the Northwest mainland, all the Cloud Sky City people switched to riding horses and carriages. They still needed to travel three thousand miles to reach Cloud Sky City. Along the way, Yang Dingtian was afraid that some of Cloud Sky Citys numerous enemies would be waiting for them. However, the truth proved otherwise. They didnt encounter any ambushes. Instead, all their enemies avoided them. It turned out that no one knew what had happened to Ximen Wuya. However, there were a lot of people who had already heard about Ximen Wuyas fantastic fight at sea in which he defeated numerous Guru-level experts. Therefore, even before they arrived at the Northwest Mainland, Ximen Wuyas reputation was already in full swing. Although these forces in the Northwest Mainland did not dare to offend the Xuan Sky Sect and the Yin Yang Sect in order to win Cloud Sky Citys favor, they also did not dare challenge Cloud Sky City. They were worried that Cloud Sky City would take this opportunity to once again expand in the Northwest Mainland. They had traveled safely for thousands of miles. There were only three hundred miles left before they arrived at Cloud Sky City. The closer they got to Cloud Sky City, the less fragility could be seen in Ximen Yanyans eyes. However, her uneasiness grew stronger and stronger. Moreover, as they neared Cloud Sky City, Ximen Yan and the pair of Yang Dingtian and Ximen Yanyan became more and more alert. In the last few days, Ximen Yan even watched Yang Dingtian and Ximen Yanyan from time to time, preventing them from making any moves. On the last night, they were less than two hundred miles away from Cloud Sky City and would reach their destination by the next night. A black bird flew out of the garrison and flew in the direction of Cloud Sky City. Ximen Yanyan was walking around uneasily in the tent and eventually stopped in front of Yang Dingtian. We will arrive at Cloud Sky City tomorrow. This means that our real danger is coming soon. On this journey, you had only one enemy, Ximen Yan, but in Cloud Sky City, you will face many more enemies, some of which are much stronger than Ximen Yan. Even though father was strong enough, when he inherited the Cloud Sky City, there was still a lot of strife. Blood was shed, corpses were created, and a lot of people were expelled. Therefore, you have to be mentally prepared. Yang Dingtian replied, I dont think it will be worse than the situation I was in at the Yin Yang Sect. Not necessarily. Dongfang Bingling, at least, didnt really want to kill you. However, we cant be sure about the people in Cloud Sky City. However, as your wife, I will do everything to help you. This I promised father. Then, Ximen Yanyan walked to the entrance of the tent and looked at the sky outside. The key now is that person. Will he be willing to help us? Would he stand with us? As long as he is willing to listen to you, we could be considered to have half-succeeded. ... The next morning, the team continued to move forward. They were now only about one hundred kilometers away from Cloud Sky City. Suddenly, there was a deafening din of horse hooves, followed by the kicking up of dust all along the road ahead. Immediately, Ximen Yanyan ordered the whole team to stop and enter defensive formations. A few moments later, hundreds of iron mounts appeared, each carrying numerous knights. The knights carried big swords and looked mighty clad in their conspicuous red cloaks. Although they were only hundreds of iron mounts, there were thousands of knights atop them. The head knight had a dark, powerful frame and looked vigorous and firm, mighty and powerful. Even though they not yet reached the group, hundreds of knights had already dismounted and were kneeling on both sides of the road. They were indistinguishable from one another and their movements were neat and practiced. The head knight then dismounted from his ride, inserted his great sword into the ground, and knelt down on one knee. The Black Blood Cavalry commander, Ximen Lie, welcomes foster father home with honor. This persons voice shook the ears like deafening thunder. Brother, Ximen Yan shouted loudly. He then hurriedly rode his horse to the front. He reached Ximen Lie, dismounted from his horse, stepped forward, and gave him a warm hug, saying Ive missed you so much in the past six months. Good buddy, you must have suffered hardship on this journey, but you also earned impressive prestige. Ximen Yanyan opened the door to her carriage, revealing her beautiful face. Brother. Ximen Lie greets Miss Ximen. Ximen Lie immediately bowed to show respect. He was also one of Ximen Wuyas foster sons, but he still called Yanyan Miss Ximen, not addressing her directly. Brother, can you come up for a moment? I have something to tell you, Ximen Yanyan said. Okay, Ximen Lie replied. He then stood up and walked to Ximen Yanyans carriage. Ximen Yan, who was standing behind him, slightly changed his expression. He wanted to say something but ended up not finding the words. Ximen Lie was really majestic and grand. After he got on the carriage, the wide carriage interior immediately became a bit cramped. After getting on the carriage, Ximen Lie set aside his big sword and took off his helmet to reveal his valiant and resolute face. He had long golden hair, a dense golden beard that resembled steel thorns, deep eyes, a straight nose, and a scarred face with a wound that appeared to have been inflicted by an axe. All in all, he looked like a majestic lion. Ximen Lie quickly noticed Yang Dingtian. He was slightly shocked and frowned. Then, he averted his eyes and paid Yang Dingtian no further attention. Brother, Ximen Yanyan said to Ximen Lie. This is Yang Dingtian, my...husband. Chapter 34: Loyalty! Inside the Cloud Sky City Chapter 34: Loyalty! Inside the Cloud Sky CityTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Ximen Lie, who looked exactly like a Lion King, suddenly looked up in surprise. His eyes flashed like lightning. His gaze was just like fire. After inspecting Yang Dingtian from head to toe, he frowned. Yang Dingtian, this is fathers most important foster son, the commander of Black Blood Cavalry in Cloud Sky City, Brother Ximen Lie, Ximen Yanyan introduced to Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian bowed and said, Yang Dingtian greets Commander Ximen Lie. Ximen Yanyan immediately looked at Yang Dingtian in consternation, upset that he had addressed him as commander instead of brother. Ximen Lie kept silent, looking at Ximen Yanyan with questioning eyes and wondering why she suddenly had a husband. Brother, it was fathers decision to betroth me to him. We had already held the wedding ceremony and are now a formal married couple, Ximen Yanyan explained. Ximen Lies complexion changed immediately. Why? Because...father is already...is already gone..., Ximen Yanyan said with her pale little mouth. Immediately, Ximen Lies body froze in shock. His eyes widened and he growled in a low voice, Impossible, didnt foster father show his might at sea and defeat a few strong Gurus? Ximen Yanyan swept the curtains back. Ximen Wuya was sitting inside peacefully. Although his face had no complexion, he looked like he was still alive. However, he was no longer breathing. Krak Krak... Ximen Lie violently clenched his fists. Arggg... He was about to let out a loud shout but ended up clenching his teeth. His entire body began to jerk erratically, and he immediately fell to the ground kneeling. His lion-like body started to shudder as a string of low yells sounded out from under his throat, just like an injured beast. Looking at the grief-stricken Ximen Lie, Yanyan clenched her teeth hard to try to keep herself from tearing up. Her tears had already fallen. She didnt want to cry again. A few minutes later, Ximen Lie raised his head, and his canthus cracked a little bit. His eyes werent shedding tears but rather two streams of blood mixed with tears. Who? Ximen Lie slowly asked. A surge of blood leaked from the corners of his mouth, his white teeth having all been stained with red blood. This was because he had clenched his teeth too hard just now and torn into his gums. Zhu Qingzhu. The Yin Yang Sect, Ximen Yanyan answered. The muscles on Ximen Lies face jerked violently. His eyes were filled with endless hatred. He said coldly, Alright. Can I trust you, Brother? Ximen Yanyan asked. Ximen Lie resolutely replied, My life, my glory, everything I have was bestowed upon me by my foster father. For Cloud Sky City, I can sacrifice everything, including my life. Ximen Yanyan said, Father betrothed me to Yang Dingtian in his final moments. He also handed Cloud Sky City over to him, deeming him as the next head of Cloud Sky City. Are you willing to stand with him? What? Ximen Lie was shocked and looked at Yang Dingtian disbelievingly. He knew with one glance that Yang Dingtian was weak, very weak, so weak that hed dared not imagine further. However, despite this shocking fact, he did not speak any words of contempt. Are you willing to lead three thousand Black Blood Cavalry loyally under Yang Dingtian? Ximen Yanyan stared at Ximen Lie and asked slowly. Three thousand Black Blood Cavalry. It was the largest armed force in Cloud Sky City. Ximen Wuya had handed control of this troop to Ximen Lie, which showed that he was the person who Ximen Wuya had trusted the most. Ximen Lie then stared at Yang Dingtian. His muscles twitched, and after a long time, he said, I dont understand, but I obey. Ximen Yanyan loosened her clenched fists, relieved. Brother, thank you! The most important part isnt me. Youll need the approval of the Elder Society, Ximen Lie stated. However, it is impossible for the Elder Society to approve this matter. If foster father were still here, he could have made the decision directly. However, since foster father is gone, everything related to Cloud Sky City needs to be decided by the Elder Society. I only have one vote in the Elder Society. Foster fathers wife also has one vote. The remaining seven votes will definitely oppose you. Thus, Yang Dingtian and I not only need your support but your complete support, Ximen Yanyan said. If it becomes necessary, we will need to take action. Youre the one controlling Cloud Sky Citys largest armed force. Will Cloud Sky City truly have to face another bloody war? Ximen Lie shuddered and looked at Yang Dingtian. No, he is too weak. He is too weak to carry Cloud Sky City. Weak now doesnt mean weak in the future, Ximen Yanyan said. Then how long do we need to wait? Ten years? Twenty years? Ximen Lie despaired. No one can wait that long. Cloud Sky City cant wait. In ten years, our enemies will have completely torn Cloud Sky City apart and washed it with blood. Two years... Yang Dingtian interjected. Ive just passed the period of enlightenment and am not even a Novice Martial Artist. In two years, if I have the ability to defeat Ximen Yan and the others to become the greatest young elite in Cloud Sky City, then I will be qualified to become the heir to Cloud Sky City. Otherwise, I will either die or leave Cloud Sky City, never to return in my lifetime. Youre crazy..., Ximen Lie said slowly. This is not courage. Its not even insanity. Its simply ignorance... Yeah, to be ignorant is to be fearless, Yang Dingtian slowly replied. But, if I am still not a match for Ximen Yan and the others after two years, how can I fight Dongfang Bingling in five years? Ximen Yanyan added, Yang Dingtian was favored by Dongfang Niemie and, subsequently, by my father. They all placed their unreserved trust in him. Ximen Lie clenched his teeth, struggling internally. After a long time, he clenched his fist tightly and punched the ground. Alright, Ill give you two years. In these two years, Ill do everything to support you even if it costs me my life. Ximen Lie stood up and walked outside. Foster father is so prodigious, having shocked the world. The Elder Society is leading thousands of disciples to welcome his victory. They are lined up all the way out from Cloud Sky City, covering a distance of several hundred kilometers. It starts just a few kilometers from here. Both of you have to respond well. Ill go to prepare myself as well, just in case... After getting off the carriage, Ximen Lie mounted his horse and yelled, Everyone, get on your horses. We head directly to Black Blood Castle at top speed. Yes, sir! All the Black Blood Riders quickly got on their horses and lined up neatly. Ximen Yan quickly stepped forward and said, Hold on, big brother. I have something to discuss with you. Ximen Lie turned around and looked at Ximen Lie for a moment. He lightly said, Im in a hurry. You can talk to me next time. Ximen Yan felt the huge change in attitude and quickly said, Just a moment, big brother. Ximen Lie replied, Then come with me. Ride with me to Black Blood Castle. This... Ximen Yan hesitated. He needed to see the Elder Society immediately to reveal his intentions, but at the same time, he needed Ximen Lies support. Before Yang Dingtians appearance, the future Lord of Cloud Sky City would have been among the few foster sons. Ximen Lie was originally the one who had the greatest chance because he was the most powerful and most respected. He was also trusted greatly by Ximen Wuya. But, he withdrew from the competition and became the leader of the Black Blood Cavalry. This position controlled the largest armed force in Cloud Sky City. It was held by the Lord of Cloud Sky Citys most trusted confidante. This troop obeyed only one person. However, if one held this position, it also meant that one would forever forgo the qualifications to become Lord of Cloud Sky City. Therefore, Ximen Lie also became one of the most welcomed personages among the foster sons. This was because no matter who wanted to be the Lord of Cloud Sky City, he must first get the support of the commander of the Black Blood Cavalry. Alright. I havent seen my big brother in more than half a year. Ive missed you so much. I will go to Black Blood Castle together with big brother. Ximen Yan made his decision quickly. Getting Ximen Lies support was the priority at the moment. He mounted his horse and followed after Ximen Lie, riding towards Black Blood Castle. Black Blood Castle was the residence used by the Black Blood Cavalry. It was built on a strategically important mountain pass and was positioned to defend Cloud Sky City. After Ximen Yan and Ximen Lie left, Ximen Yanyan sent forth one of her confidantes to the place where the thousands of Cloud Sky City disciples had assembled. Using Ximen Wuyas name, she ordered the Elder Society to stay behind to wait for the Cloud Sky City Lord, while the rest were all sent back to Cloud Sky City. After around one hour.... A stunningly beautiful woman leading six men waited at the bridgehead of a large stone bridge. Her eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation. The thousands of Cloud Sky City disciples had already left. Ximen Yanyan and Yang Dingtians troop slowly crossed from the other end of the bridge, getting closer and closer. An old man stepped forward and bowed. The Elder Society of Cloud Sky City welcomes the Cloud Sky City Lord and congratulates him for his triumphant return with feats that shocked the world. Immediately, all of them saluted and bowed, including the stunning woman. The troop stopped, and the largest carriages door opened. Ximen Yanyan and Yang Dingtian slowly walked out. Ximen Yanyans mouth turned white and slightly trembled. My father was badly wounded. He is currently recovering in seclusion. He needs three years before he is fully healed. My father has deemed that my husband, Yang Dingtian, to be the heir of Cloud Sky City. After that, Ximen Yanyan opened the curtains gently, letting her mother see the motionless Ximen Wuya. Immediately, the stunning woman yelled and fainted. Mom... Ximen Yanyan hurriedly ran out. The rest of the Elder Societys members were stunned. ****** The center of Cloud Sky City was situated on top of a mountain a thousand kilometers high. The local mountain range undulated up and down for several dozen miles. Similarly, Cloud Sky City also stretched out for several dozen miles. The Yin Yang Sect was built on top of one mountain, occupying most of Vast Immeasurable Mountain. In contrast, Cloud Sky City was built along the top of a mountain range and curved alongside its peak and valleys. Yin Yang Sect had no walls, while Cloud Sky City was circled by huge black walls. The highest point of Cloud Sky City was Black Blood Castle. In a huge hall, eight elders sat atop high seats that circled the entire hall. Yang Dingtian and Ximen Yanyan were standing at the center, fielding questions from the Elder Society regarding the entire incident. After more than one hour of explanations, they had managed to narrate every event and every conversation in detail. In the end, Ximen Yanyan said, My grandfather, Yang Lie, betrothed my mother to my father, Ximen Wuya, and appointed him as the new Cloud Sky City Lord. My father then betrothed me to Yang Dingtian and appointed him as the new Cloud Sky City Lord. Ximen Yanyans pretty eyes slowly swept over all the elders present. She slowly asked, Each Cloud Sky Citys Lord has the authority to appoint a new heir, correct? So, Yang Dingtian becoming the new Lord of Cloud Sky City is legal and reasonable, right? If there are no objections, we should announce it to the world. S?a??h the N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 35: The Position of Cloud Sky City’s Lord Chapter 35: The Position of Cloud Sky Citys LordTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales After Ximen Yanyan finished speaking, the place was completely silent. No one responded. Instead, everyones eyes fell on the Great Elder. The Great Elder, Yang Yan, was the brother of Yang Lie, the previous Cloud Sky City Lord. He was now ninety-five years old. At the moment, he kept his eyes closed and looked as if he were asleep. It seemed like he wasnt going to speak. Suddenly, a middle-aged elder stood up. Ive something to say and a few questions to ask. Ximen Yanyan answered, Uncle Tang Bozhao, please go ahead! This persons position and identity were the same as Ximen Wuyas. He was a son-in-law of Cloud Sky City. His wife was the daughter of another one of Yang Lies brother. Therefore, Ximen Yanyan called him uncle. He was ranked fifth in the Elder Society. Tang Bozhao looked at Yang Dingtian and asked, May I know your cultivation, please? I just passed the enlightenment period, Yang Dingtian replied. What? Tang Bozhao shouted in a shocked voice, showing his disbelieving expression. Just passed the enlightenment period? A person who has just passed the period of enlightenment wants to be the new Cloud Sky City Lord? S?a??h the Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Everyone, under the leadership of City Lord Ximen, we have used the method of iron and blood to invade and occupy land, to conquer countless factions and bring them under Cloud Sky City. Because of the powerful and invincible City Lord Ximen, we have managed to expand our territory by thousands of square miles from an initial territory of less than a hundred square miles. In the past twenty years, we have killed countless people and created thousands of enemies. When Ximen City Lord was still here, there was absolutely no one who dared provoke us. But now, Ximen City Lord is no longer here. Cloud Sky City has encountered its most critical crisis. Within these thousands of miles, how many forces deeply hate Cloud Sky City? How many forces had surrendered on the surface but are secretly nurturing their hatred? If we become even slightly weaker, these groups will pounce on and attack Cloud Sky City. When that time comes, are we going to let a person who had just passed the enlightenment period become the new Cloud Sky City Lord? To protect all of us? Tang Bozhao coldly concluded. Wont we just die even faster? So, I firmly oppose Yang Dingtian becoming the heir to Cloud Sky City, Tang Bozhao said without hesitation. Objection! Objection! ... Among the eight elders present, only two did not object. Yanyans mother was currently immersed in the great sorrow filling her despairing heart. Although she was sitting there, it seemed like only her body was there and her soul had gone with her husband. Ximen Lie was just sitting in silence. The Big Elder still kept his eyes closed, as if sleeping. Yanyan did not have the authority to vote. The other person who did not object was Ximen Ju, the director of Cloud Sky City and Ximen Wuyas second foster son. He was also the one who held the greatest authority among all the foster sons. He was the most well-regarded and beloved among them. Yanyans eyes flashed with gratitude when she saw that Ximen Ju had not raised his hand. At least the well-regarded and beloved foster son was still loyal. Ximen Yanyan stared coldly at Tang Bozhao. Are you trying to go against my fathers decision? Tang Bozhao answered slowly, Excuse me, do you have any evidence to prove that the City Lord appointed Yang Dingtian as heir? Did anyone other than two of you hear or see him do it? Then, Ximen Yan walked out slowly and bowed to the elders. I was just outside the door the whole time. I did not hear or see anything. Tang Bozhao nodded. Thank you for testifying. You can go now. Ximen Yan sneered at Yang Dingtian and walked away. Ximen Yanyans little face immediately turned white. She then sneered, Isnt my betrothal to Yang Dingtian enough? Or are you saying that my husband cant be the heir of Cloud Sky City? Tang Bozhao replied, Who knows if you had an affair with him and are just looking to install him as the next Cloud Sky City Lord? Ximen Yanyan trembled slightly. She couldnt help but spit up some blood, but she swallowed it back. Tang Bozhao then continued, Making a pledge to get married without parental approval isnt valid. Therefore, the marriage between you and Yang Dingtian cannot be considered legal. As the daughter of the City Lord, you should associate with those of a higher status. You should make a greater contribution towards Cloud Sky City. Yanyans complexion changed immediately. What do you mean? Tang Bozhao said, Not long ago, the Northwest Qin family sent us a messenger who declared their intention to ally with Cloud Sky City. They wished for Ms. Yanyan to become the Northwest Qin familys young lady. Before this incident, we might have not cared about this. But now, we need a strong ally to ensure the safety of Cloud Sky City. After all, Cloud Sky City has no Guru other than the City Lord. It seemed that the Northwest Qin family had known about the incident involving Ximen Wuya in advance. Ximen Yanyan could no longer suppress her anger. A mouthful of blood finally spurted out from the corner of her mouth. She couldnt believe that these people not only wanted to deprive Yang Dingtian of his position as Cloud Sky Citys heir but also wanted to gift her to the Northwest Qin family. Uncle, Yanyans mother suddenly said. My husband has just..., is your Yang family so eager to rebel? The Great Elder Yang Yan opened his turbid eyes and said slowly, Mrs. Ximen, arent you forgetting that you are also from the Yang family? Masters wife shook her head. No, Im from the Ximen family. Humph, woman are so fickle and indifferent with their feelings. Another elder suddenly got angry and stood up. Even if you, Yang Peipei, are from the Ximen family, Cloud Sky City has always belonged to the Yang family. Ximen Wuyas authority as City Lord was only temporary. Now that he is gone, Cloud Sky City should undoubtedly go back to the Yang family. Mrs. Ximen, also known as Yang Peipei, stared with her beautiful eyes and said slowly, Unfortunately, the Yang family today only has a few old men left and nobody else. Isnt that because of your man, killing all Yangs family people? The elder was mad. Mrs. Ximen replied righteously, Uncle, dont forget that your Yang family was not willing to accept the fact that my husband held the position of Head of Cloud Sky City and even joined with enemies to kill my father, kill my family, and seize his position. In this situation, my husband only killed the Head of your family and spared most of the others. He only banished them. Also, uncle, you betrothed your daughter to the Northwest Qin family as a concubine, trying to win strong support. Now, you want to send my daughter as goods to the Northwest Qin family? Youll need to wait until I die, Mrs. Ximen said coldly. My husband betrothed Yanyan to Yang Dingtian, so Yang Dingtian will be the new Head of Cloud Sky City. Yang Peipei violently drew her long sword and said coldly, Whoever has objections, ask the sword in my hand first! As expected, Mrs. Ximen was also hot-tempered. Humph, then I will teach you a lesson. The Second Elder snorted and leaped forward. He then rushed towards Yang Peipei. Hold on! Yang Dingtian shouted to stop them. Second Elder coldly and disdainfully said, This isnt the place where you can speak. Yang Dingtian said, I know that it is completely ridiculous for me to become the heir of Cloud Sky City with my current cultivation. Besides every single elder here objecting, I think the majority of disciples in Cloud Sky City will object as well. Ximen Yanyan stared at Yang Dingtian when she heard what he said and asked, Yang Dingtian, what are you saying? Yang Dingtian continued, I remember that when Yang Lie appointed his son-in-law, Ximen Wuya, as the new heir to Cloud Sky City, there was dissatisfaction among the entire Elder Society, especially among those from the Yang family. This schism caused Cloud Sky City to have no head for an entire year after Yang Lie died. In order to calm public anger, Martial Uncle Ximen Wuya proposed a competition to decide the next Head through martial force. Any nineteenth generation disciple of Cloud Sky City could participate in the competition to fight for the position. It was true. Although Ximen Wuya was appointed as the next Cloud Sky City Head by Yang Lie, in the end, he still won the position through a competition, defeating everyone else in Cloud Sky City to become the new Head. Yang Dingtian continued, So, I suggest that the next Cloud Sky City Head will also be decided through a competition. Whoever wins the final victory will become the next Head of Cloud Sky City. Is that ok? After Yang Dingtian finished speaking, the entire hall became silent. A few minutes later, Great Elder Yang Yan asked, So, when do you think the competition should be held? Thats it. Tang Bozhao sneered. It cant be in five or ten years. Otherwise, we will have no Head the entire time. In two years, Yang Dingtian answered. I promised to fight Ximen Yan in two years. If I lose, I will give up the position of heir and be banished from Cloud Sky City. We can just make that fight part of the competition. Two years is too long, Great Elder Yang Yan Big Elder said. The position of Head of Cloud Sky City cannot be vacant for such a long time. The competition should be held next Winter at the very latest. No way, Yang Peipei objected. One and a half years is too short. Absolutely not. The longer the competition is delayed, the better Yang Dingtians chances. Yang Yan said slowly, You oppose? Alright, lets decide by vote. Anyone who agrees to hold the competition next winter on the 29th of December, please raise your hand. Immediately, several elders raised their hands. It was still six to two. In short, in any vote, Yang Dingtians side was absolutely disadvantaged. The vote has passed, Yang Yan slowly declared. Yang Peipei, Ximen Lie, are you going to abide by the result of the vote? If you two wont, then you two will be expelled from the Elder Society. Yang Peipei and Ximen Lie looked at each other for a moment before nodding to agree. We agree that the competition will be held on the 29th of December next Winter. Thats good. This will be the final decision. Dismissed, Yang Yan said, walking away on his crutch. After taking a few steps, Great Elder Yang Yan spoke to Yang Ding Tian, Thank you for your proposal to solve Cloud Sky Citys dilemma. However, you are unable to join the competition, because you arent a disciple of Cloud Sky City. What? Yang Dingtian exclaimed. Ximen Yanyan and Ximen Lies expressions changed immediately. Great Elder Yang Yan then smiled and repeated, Because you are not a disciple of Cloud Sky City. Yang Dingtians heart immediately turned cold. Yang Yan was mostly silent this entire time, so Yang Dingtian thought that he more or less had a bit of morality. However, it turned out that he was so shameless. Swallowing his anger, Yang Dingtian sneered. Im Ximen Yanyans husband, the son-in-law of City Head Ximen. Why am I not a disciple of Cloud Sky City? Why cant I participate in the competition next year to fight for the position of heir? Great Elder Yang Yan did not speak, but Tang Bozhao sneered and said, Because youre too weak. Youre not qualified to be a disciple of Cloud Sky City. Chapter 36: Master Manifestation Chapter 36: Master ManifestationTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales S?a?ch* Th? Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. How old are you? Great Elder Yang Yan asked. In another half month, Ill be twenty, Yang Dingtian replied. Hahaha, dont you feel ashamed? Tang Bo Zhao sneered. Youre already twenty and not even a Novice Martial Artist. What is your qualification to become a Cloud Sky City disciple? You should be expelled. Yang Yan added, Cloud Sky City runs an Elimination Battle every year for all the disciples in Cloud Sky City. Each disciple over the age of twenty must participate. The ten lowest ranked disciples are expelled from Cloud Sky City. Do you know what level last years ten lowest ranked candidates were? Please advise me, Yang Dingtian replied. They were Six Star Xuan martial artists, which is exact sixteen stars higher than you. Yang Yan then continued sneering. Even though they were expelled from Cloud Sky City, they are still superior to you! After that, Yang Yan continued to walk away. Cloud Sky City doesnt accept idlers. Leave before the sky turns dark! Yang Peipei finally couldnt help it and shouted, Yang Yan, you old man. Youre bullying him! After that, she violently drew her sword and pointed it at Yang Yans back. Yang Peipei, are you trying to rebel? Yang Yan asked coldly. Then, I wont mind cleaning up your mess. After that, Yang Yan solely raised the crutch in his hand. Tang Bo Zhao and Second Elder followed up by drawing their swords. Ximen Lie violently drew his giant sword. Yanyan followed suit. Great Elder Yang Yan, dont try to bully us. Weve already conceded a lot. No matter what, you must let Yang Dingtian take part in the competition to become the City Lords heir next winter, Ximen Lie said resolutely. Otherwise? Yang Yan replied coldly. Otherwise, I will wash the hall in blood, Ximen Lie said coldly. Good! Yang Yan said coldly. Let our swords do the talking... Shua Shua Shua... Immediately, another three people on Yang Yans side violent drew their swords. The fight could break out at any moment. Yang Yans side had five experts and Yang Dingtian only had Ximen Lie and Yang Peipei. They were absolutely disadvantaged in this fight. There was still one person who remained neutral. He did not say anything nor did he declare any position. He was Ximen Ju. His appearance was common, but he had skin fairer than that of most woman. His whole face was ordinary except for his eyes, which were long and narrow and contained a gaze like water. They were more attractive than a womans eyes. He was now thirty-three years old and was in charge of Cloud Sky Citys internal affairs. Ximen Lie was the City Lords right arm while Ximen Ju was the left arm. He was considered one of the most powerful people in Cloud Sky City. Brother, what are you still waiting for? Are you going to let the Yang family bully our foster fathers family? Ximen Lie shouted at Ximen Ju. Ximen Ju hesitated for a moment before drawing his sword. Immediately, Ximen Lie heaved a sigh of relief. He knew how ferocious Ximen Jus strength was. Although there were five people on the other side and only three experts on their side, the situation was disadvantageous but not necessarily an automatic loss. However, what happened next definitely utterly stunned Ximen Lie, Yanyan, and the others. It was because after Ximen Ju drew his sword, he moved to stand directly next to Great Elder Yang Yan, seeming hostile towards Yang Dingtian. Even the Great Elders side was surprised. They did not expect Ximen Ju to stand with them. Up to now, Ximen Ju had been completely obedient under Ximen Wuya and he had caused Yang Yan and the others a lot of trouble. They used to be completely hostile towards one another. Unexpectedly, now that Ximen Wuya was gone, Ximen Ju changed sides immediately. Ximen Lie was shocked and in disbelief. He then shouted at Ximen Ju, Brother, your conscience was eaten by a dog. Did you forget who it was that brought you back, who it was that raised you, who it was that taught you martial arts, and who it was that gave you the authority to manage Cloud Sky City, putting you above millions and under only one? Is this how you repay our foster fathers grace? Ximen Ju replied, Brother, Im doing this for the future of Cloud Sky City. Ximen Ju, you bastard. You will definitely be struck by lightning and die without a burial, Ximen Lie raved loudly. Ximen Lie, we dont have to talk to this bastard, Yang Peipei said angrily. Lets take this desperate fight! Sure, foster mother, Ximen Lie answered. Well done... Great Elder Yang Yan sneered. His eyes glowed with a very dangerous light. With Ximen Jus help, Yang Yans side now possessed the absolute advantage, causing the Great Elders heart to fill with homicidal intent. If he took this opportunity to kill Ximen Lie, Yang Peipei, Yang Dingtian, and the others, this matter would be resolved once and for all. The Yang family will once again regain its glory. Remember, youre the ones rebelling. Dont try to blame me, Yang Yan coldly said. A very powerful Xuan energy slowly condensed around his crutch, causing it to immediately turn bloody red. Lets do this. No mercy! Yang Yan ordered. The battle was initiated the moment Yang Yan gave his command. Yang Peipei and Ximen Yanyan were immediately placed in mortal danger. Wait! Yang Dingtian between the two sides. Staring at Yang Yan, he asked, Why is Great Elder so anxious? Im not even twenty yet. Isnt there still half a month? If I defeat the ten lowest ranked people in the Elimination Battle, wont that mean that I am qualified to become Cloud Sky Citys disciple? Wont it also mean that I am a qualified candidate for heir of Cloud Sky City? That I would be allowed to participate in the competition next winter to contend for the position of City Lord? Of course! Yang Yan sneered. This years Elimination Battle will begin in half a month. If you can defeat the Six Star Xuan martial artists at that time, then you will be able to become a disciple of Cloud Sky City. Okay, deal! Yang Dingtian said. I will break sixteen grades in succession in the coming fifteen days to reach the level of a Six Star Xuan martial artist. Otherwise, I will be expelled from Cloud Sky City. Yang Dingtian, youre crazy! Ximen Yanyan was shocked. Yang Dingtian was indeed insane. It was absolutely impossible to break through to become a Six Star Xuan martial artist from his current cultivation in fifteen days. No one in the past 1000 years was able to do it. Even a genius would need at least half a year. Deal. Yang Yan sneered. The Elimination Battle will be held in fifteen days. If you cant break through to become a Six Star Xuan martial artist and cant beat the ten weakest competitors, you will be immediately expelled from Cloud Sky City. Your marriage to Ximen Yanyan will also be dissolved. If you agree, well make it an official agreement. Otherwise, I will kill most of you to clean up the city. Old thief Yang Yan, youre shameless. Yang Dingtian took out a pen and paper to write the official agreement. Yang Dingtian, dont agree to those conditions. I will fight them until I die. Ximen Yanyan was angry. If you are my husband, stop writing. Yang Dingtian continued writing the official agreement. After finishing, he signed his name, bit his thumb, and left a bloody fingerprint on it. Are you fine with this, Great Elder Yang Yan? Yang Dingtian coldly asked after sending him the official agreement. The Great Elder received it and stowed away in his sleeves. He then said, Yes, you can go get ready for your upcoming Elimination Battle. Then, the Great Elder led his supporters away. Yang Dingtian, youre insane! Ximen Yanyan went forward and said: The old thief Yang Yan is taking advantage of this opportunity to kill you and betroth me to the beast in the Northwest Qin family. He revealed his killing intent just now. I cant let them kill you in front of me, Yang Dingtian explained. I will take steps to get through this no matter how hard it is. ****** Back in the boudoir, Yanyan spat out blood. Her whole face was as white as paper. Yang Dingtian poured a glass of water and carefully blew to cool it. He then handed it to Yanyan. He gently patted Yanyans back. This was the first time Yang Dingtian touched her delicate body. Her eyebrows twitched slightly, but she didnt end up resisting. Yanyan took a sip of water, gargled, and spat the blood out of her mouth. Yang Dingtian, youre crazy! Ximen Yanyan shouted at Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian nodded. Yes, Im crazy! But, this is also Uncle Ximens will. My dads will? What do you mean? Yanyan asked. Im so weak at the moment. How could I possibly take the position of City Lord? When Yang Lie appointed Uncle Ximen as City Lord, the Yang family had also rebelled after Yang Lies death. So, Uncle Ximen proposed a competition to determine the holder of the position of City Lord fair and square. Returning to the present, although Uncle Ximen hadnt said it clearly, he should have known that the Elder Society would fiercely oppose me. He definitely hoped that I would pass this trial using my own strength. He gave me the qualifications to participate in the contest and the identity of heir. But, to really take that position, I have to rely on myself! Yang Dingtian took a breath before continuing, So, its not like I want to be crazy. Uncle Ximen wanted me to be crazy too. But, we didnt expect Yang Yan to be so shameless and to demand that I break through sixteen stages in half a month, to become a Six Star Xuan martial artist. Ximen Yanyans charming eyes shone brilliantly. Alright, since youre already crazy, then I will be crazy with you once! You go and take a good rest. Tomorrow morning, I will take you to see someone. Who? Yang Dingtian asked. Your future mentor. She will be teaching you martial arts later. She is very strong and is not inferior to my father, Yanyan explained. Perhaps she has a way to let you break through to become a Six Star martial artist within fifteen days. Yang Dingtian was puzzled. Since shes so strong, why did you say that there were no more Guru level experts in Cloud Sky City? She isnt someone from Cloud Sky City. Rather, she is an enemy of Cloud Sky City, Yanyan said. You will know when you see her tomorrow. Yanyan turned and walked outside. You should rest early. Just ask for Little Lue outside if you need anything. After Yanyan left, Yang Dingtian simply ate his meal, took a shower, and then lied down to rest. Yan Dingtian didnt sleep on Yanyans bed. Instead, he got himself a woven mat and lay directly on the hard ground to sleep. He did not cover himself with Yanyans quilt even though it was soft and fragrant. The lights went out, but Yang Dingtian couldnt sleep. He looked up at the ceiling. He was once again in another completely strange place. This place should have been Yang Dingtians home, but he still felt lonely and unfamiliar. Fifteen days, one and a half years, five years. Yang Dingtian looked at the ceiling and muttered to himself, Master, Im already insane. How do I do this? In fifteen days he had to raise his cultivation by sixteen grades, from initial Enlightenment to Six Stars Xuan martial artist. In one and a half years, he had to defeat all the young disciples of Cloud Sky City to win the position of Lord of Cloud Sky City. In five years, he had to defeat the greatest genius and number one young expert in the world, Dongfang Bingling. Each of these missions was crazier than the last, each one more impossible to complete than the last! Master, what should I do? Yang Dingtian muttered to himself and reached out to touch the spot where the Flame Ring was hidden. Sigh! Suddenly, an old sigh sounded in the ears. Yang Dingtian was stunned and asked, Whos there? Son... Again, the voice was so familiar. It was Dongfang Niemies voice. It hadnt come from outside but from deep within his mind. Chapter 37: Dongfang Niemie’s Spirit Chapter 37: Dongfang Niemies SpiritTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Master... Yang Dingtian was in complete disbelief and was afraid that he was only hallucinating. Its me, son. I know its been really hard for you, Dongfang Niemie said. Master, you are still alive? Yang Dingtian was ecstatic. His eyes instantly filled with tears. Of course I am already dead, Dongfang Niemie said. However, Ive left a wisp of my mind in your brain. It needs the support of the Flame Rings energy to stay active. I was planning on waiting until youve become strong enough to summon the Flame Ring so that you could activate the wisp yourself. However, Ximen Wuya had accidentally summoned the Flame Ring and activated it in advance. Dongfang Niemie then sighed deeply. I didnt expect things to become like this. I really didnt know that my daughter had become like that. Why didnt this wisp appear in my brain at the beginning? Perhaps, things would have gone differently if you had, Yang Dingtian asked. This wisp can only survive for three years. I had wanted to guide out during your most critical three years, Dongfang Niemie explained. Even if it had been active, everything would have gone the same way because I can only communicate with you. Nobody else can see or hear me. My daughter was so obedient when she was small. How had she become like this? How did it come to this? How did it come to this? Dongfang Niemie sighed, his voice was full of desolation and grief. Son, Im sorry. I let you face all those hardships on your own. I wanted to give you everything, but I didnt expect that my actions would almost get you killed. If it werent for Ximen Wuya, you probably would have died by my greedy daughters hand. Yang Dingtian replied sorrowfully, But, Uncle Ximen was killed by Zhu Qingzhu because of me. I know. I had witnessed everything after I awoke. However, I had to spend time condensing my mind and am only able to communicate with you now. Soul Eater has appeared once again after thousands of years in Zhu Qingzhus hands. If Im right, the Yin Yang Sect may really be destroyed by my daughters hands. Perhaps not just the Yin Yang Sect, but the whole world. Zhu Qingzhu, only now do I know the depths of your evil, Dongfang Niemie said. Everything depends on you now, son. To save Yin the Yang Sect, to save Cloud Sky City and perhaps, the world. To break through to become a Six Star Xuan martial artist in fifteen days is just your first challenge. Although it seems completely impossible to do, you must do it. Otherwise, you will never be able to complete the tasks ahead. Ill do everything to help you get through this. Yang Dingtian asked, Master, can we make it? Dongfang Niemie shook his head and replied, I... I dont know. We can only do our best! Dongfang Niemie couldnt promise anything. He was already an ultimate genius, but even he needed more than half a year to become a Six Star Xuan martial artist from his initial Enlightenment stage. Yang Dingtian only has fifteen days. Son, whether we can do it or not, just try your best. Give it your one hundred percent, or even two hundred percent. Do that and will have no regrets. Get some rest. Well start working tomorrow. The time I can spend with you is limited, so Im going to rest as well. Whenever you need me, just look into your heart and call me. Alright, master. Yang Dingtian slowly closed his eyes. Because his master had appeared, his stress seems to have been reduced by more than half. He could now breathe more easily. S?a??h th? N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Suddenly, Yang Dingtian asked, Master, can we save Uncle Ximen? Although he has no heartbeat and is not breathing, his body is completely intact. He looks exactly the same as when he was alive. I remember that you used the last of your Xuan energy to maintain the last wisp of your mind for ten years. Dongfang Niemie kept silent for a moment. That is even harder than becoming a Six Star Xuan martial artist in fifteen days. It is ten times or even a hundred times harder. This is Soul Eater were talking about... Yang Dingtian slowly closed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly. He told himself, It is extremely difficult, but I will never give up. Even if I have to go to the ends of the world, even if I have to sacrifice everything... ****** That night, Yang Dingtian had the best sleep in a long while. Due to the reappearance of his Master, Dongfang Niemie, he could finally rest easy. When he woke up, Ximen Yanyan was already there. Because Yang Dingtian had slept on the floor, she was standing over him. She was wearing a tight suit today, which accentuated her body and caused it to look even more perfect and attractive. This was especially true when viewed from below. The curves of her breasts were titillating. When she saw Yang Dingtian had slept on the ground, Yanyan frowned. Why are you sleeping down here? Are you deliberately drawing a line in our relationship? Or are you trying to express your dissatisfaction? You must be very unwilling for me to sleep on your bed, correct? Yang Dingtian asked. He then quickly got up to wash. When he came back, Lue Er had already brought them breakfast for two, but Yang Dingtian ate alone. Yanyan said that she had already eaten with her mother. Is your mother feeling better? Yang Dingtian asked. No, Yanyan answered. But thanks for asking. Yang Dingtian continued eating and finished quickly. Soon, he finished both portions. Lets go! Yanyan said. Let me bring you to the expert. Dongfang Niemie had appeared again, so Yang Dingtian did not believe that there was anyone else more suitable to make him stronger. He wanted to turn her down but could not find a reason. Are you sure she can help me break through 16 times in fifteen days? Yang Dingtian asked. No, I dont. But if she cant, then I firmly believe that no one can, Yanyan replied as she walked out the door. ... Yang Dingtian followed after her. They arrived at a castle located in a dark corner in Cloud Sky City. This castle was very small, only about a dozen meters tall. They walked into the castle together and found nothing inside. It was completely dark inside. Yanyan lit a torch and pressed down on some mechanism. A hole appeared in the ground, revealing stairs that descended underground. They walked into the hole descended deeper and deeper. They didnt know how long they had been walking or how many steps theyve taken. They would soon reach the middle of the mountain. Who was locked in this place? Finally, they stopped in front of a one-meter-thick stone gate. Yanyan took out a key and inserted it into the hole. Boooom... With a loud bang, the two halves of the stone gate slowly separated. A hot gust of air suddenly burst through. Behind the door, there was a huge cave. A stone strip jutted out from the cave wall, forming a platform that was around ten meters long and three meters wide. Below the platform, there was fiery red magma flowing down into a bottomless abyss. The platform was the only place where people could stand. A few meters in front of the platform was a two-by-two-by-two meters square iron cage suspended in the air. Inside the cage, there appeared to be a woman shackled by four large chains. She was wrapped in long red hair that hid her face and body. Around the cage was a circular aperture which looked like a very powerful array. Who was this person? How strong was she? Why was she trapped in this hellish place? Yao Rao, Im here to see you, Yanyan said. The person inside the cage raised her head, parting her long red hair. She then stood up and revealed her face and body. Yang Dingtian was completely shocked. His blood instantly boiled, and his entire body was seemed to catch fire. This was a woman, a naked woman. This was an utterly flirtatious woman. Yang Dingtian had seen this worlds four prettiest women, but he had before seen such a seductive woman. Yang Dingtian finally knew the definition of the word vixen. Her facial features were not perfectly beautiful but were extremely seductive. Her eyes were narrow, and the pupils were green. Her face was long and sharp. She had a tall nose, and her red lips were full of temptation. This was not the face of a typical beauty but was more like a foxs face. However, all in all, it exuded an incomparably attractive temptation. This face would definitely drive the country crazy. She was completely naked. Her skin was white like snow. Although she did not possess sexy buttocks like Yanyan, she had a perfect body figure: delicate waist, slender legs, perfectly round boobs and hips. There were no imperfections on her body. Every inch could easily ignite the desire of any man. Since she was completely naked at the moment, Yang Dingtian clearly saw every inch of her body. Yanyan, youre finally willing to come see me. Yao Raos hoarse voice was full of teasing. Her eyes then fell on Yang Dingtians face. And you brought along a cute delicious man. Yao Rao licked her lips with her enchanting tongue. Little man, whats your name? Ignore her. Dont talk to her and dont look into her eyes, Ximen Yanyan warned. Otherwise, your mind will be confused. She isnt human. Shes a Xuan tail fiery fox, transformed into human form. More than a decade ago, my father invited Dongfang Niemie and several Gurus to capture and seal her here. Yang Dingtian immediately took a deep breath. Ten years ago, Ximen Wuya and Dongfang Niemie were already Gurus. They had to work with other Gurus to capture this vixen. It could be imagined how strong she was. Her demon nucleus was extracted and hidden in a secret place. She was also completely sealed. Otherwise, I would not dare bring you to see her. I wasnt sensible when I was younger. I followed my mom here to play here a few times and ended up talking to her a lot. She seemed to like me very much, but I dont know why. Yao Rao, Ive something to ask for your help, Yanyan said. Go ahead, my little treasure. Yao Rao looked at Yanyan. Youve lost a lot of weight. I feel sad for you. The man beside me is my husband. He has just passed the Enlightenment period. I want him to break through to become a Six Star Xuan martial artist in the shortest time possible. Do you have any ideas? Yanyan asked. Chapter 38: Yin Yang Combination Technique Chapter 38: Yin Yang Combination TechniqueTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yao Rao scanned Yang Dingtians body from head to toe and nodded. Other people definitely cant do it. But, if you leave him with me, its absolutely possible. If it were anyone else, there would be no way. But if its him, then its absolutely doable. The talent of this young man of yours is extremely fascinating. Even I cant see it clearly. Yao Raos eyes turned bright. Yanyan, your eyes are very sharp. You really know how to pick a man. But, with such good talent, why did he only just pass the period of enlightenment? You dont have to care about that, Yanyan answered. How long will it take to make him a Six Star Xuan Martial Artist? Yao Rao calculated for a while before saying, Half a year. Unacceptable. Thats too long, Yanyan said. Yao Rao turned. If you use a slightly evil method, perhaps the period can be shortened to about four months. Unacceptable. Still too long, Yanyan said. Yao Rao scrunched her beautiful eyebrows. Even if it were to be Dongfang Niemie or Zhu Qingzhu, it would be impossible for them to jump from initial enlightenment to Six Star Xuan Martial Artist so quickly. Little treasure, isnt your request too unreasonable? Yanyan said, If my request wasnt hard, why would I come see you? How long will the fastest method take? Yao Rao thought for a long time. Three months. I cant help you if you want to go even faster. However, this method is extremely bizarre, and the consequences are extremely serious. Yanyan said, We only have fifteen days. It cant take any longer. Otherwise, in half a month, we will be expelled from Cloud Sky City. 15 days! How is that possible? Yao Rao exclaimed. Your father has almost no enemy in this entire Northwest Continent. Who would dare harm you? My father has already passed away, Yanyan said calmly. Thats impossible, Yao Rao said. Who is capable of killing him in this world? Even Dongfang Niemie couldnt. Yang Dingtian answered, Zhu Qingzhu using Soul Eater Xuan Energy. Soul Eater? Yao Rao felt a cold chill. Soul Eater was so powerful and malicious that even someone of her level feared it. The Soul Eater has once again appeared in this world? The world will once again fall into a crisis? But, why is it Zhu Qingzhu and not me? Yao Rao was extremely upset and dissatisfied. Yao Rao, within fifteen days, no matter what method you use, please turn Yang Dingtian into a Six Star Xuan Martial Artist, Yanyan requested coldly. The tone she used to talk to Yao Rao was always impolite. Little Treasure, I really cannot do it. I really have no idea how to raise his level sixteen times within fifteen days. I really cant do it. You know I love you very much, and I wish to make you my disciple this very second. Thats why, as long as I am capable, I will definitely help you. But, I really cant do it this time.... Yanyans beautiful face instantly projected her despair. She sighed. If even you have no idea, who else in this world would be able to think of one? Could it be that daddys mission cannot be accomplished? Yao Rao was heartbroken when she saw Yanyans pale face. She bit her red lips. Yanyan, there is one way, but its extremely evil. However, I dont know if this method is able to help him jump sixteen levels within fifteen days. It may be possible. It may also be impossible. It would all depend on the quality of his blood veins. Yanyan was instantly excited. Quick, tell me. Yao Rao warned, You have to sacrifice a lot to use this method. Are you really willing to? Im willing to. What is your method? Yanyan asked excitedly. Its called the Yin Yang Xuan Devouring Arts, a secret method that almost no one in this world knows about, Yao Rao answered. First, you need to prepare a lot of rare ingredients and use them to construct a formation on the lava. After that, the two of you need to have sex in the middle of the formation. Using an extremely evil method, you can transfer the Xuan energy in your body into this young mans body. You two can do it at most nine times, but your bodys Xuan energy will be used up. As for how much of it will enter the young mans Sea of Energy depends on his Xuan Vein quality. However, as far as I know, each time he can absorb no more than one percent of the Xuan energy being transferred. As soon as Yao Rao finish talking, Yanyan instantly yelped in fright. Her beautiful cheeks turned red. Yang Dingtian was even worse as even his neck had turned red. What? Not willing? Yao Rao asked. Yanyan clenched her teeth and said: Who said anything about not willing? Tell me, how should we begin? First, you need to train your body. The two of you need to strip completely and let the fire nature Xuan Energy here temper your bodies. Then, I will recite the Art of Yin Yang Combination, causing the two of you to sink into a state of sexual desire and opening your Yin Yang Xuan Barriers. Then, you will initiate intimate contact without truly having sex. Little by little, when your sexual desire reaches its climax, Ill construct the formation after which the two of you will have intense sex. Using the Yin Yang Xuan Devouring Arts, I will transfer the Xuan Energy from your body to this young mans body. Yanyan listened until her entire body had turned boiling hot. Her breathing quickened, and her breasts expanded, making her sexy body even more alluring. Of course, its not that she had fallen for Yang Dingtian. Rather, it was because she was struggling internally. Yang Dingtians body looked like he was immersed in hot lava. His entire body grew fiery hot, to the point that even breathing became painful. Suddenly, Dongfang Niemies voice sounded in Yang Dingtians mind. Son, this Yin Yang Xuan Devouring Arts is really extremely powerful. If you are willing to, it could really help you jump sixteen levels to become a Six Star Xuan Martial Artist in the shortest amount of time. Dong Fang Nie Mie added, This fire fox was really captured by Ximen Wuya and I. Due to some special reasons, she will definitely not harm Ximen Yanyan. Regarding the Yin Yang Xuan Devouring Arts, you can really trust her. It can be said that this method is almost the only way for you to rapidly increase your cultivation. However, it is your decision. Master will not interfere. After saying his piece, Dongfang Niemie disappeared once again and resumed his deep slumber. At this moment, Yanyan was struggling so hard to decide that she closed her eyes to calm herself. Eventually, she opened her beautiful eyes. She looked at Yang Dingtian. I said before that, as your wife, I was willing to do everything that I am supposed to do. Then, Yanyan started taking off her clothes. She took off her black outerwear, leaving only thin undergarments and lace panties. The rest of her body was completely exposed to Yang Dingtian. Her breasts, after being exposed, looked so full and plump that they were extremely titillating. Her chest looked so tight that it looked as if her thin innerwear was about to break. The two nipples looked sharp. Her round buttocks were pressed tightly against the thin silk panties. The lone triangular shape covering her lower regions bulged alluringly. Yang Dingtian knew that Yanyans body would be extremely tempting due to her huge breasts. However, he never thought that it would be attractive to this extent. Yang Dingtians entire body felt as if it was being burned by hot lava. Luckily, he had his veins cleansed up to the third layer. Otherwise, he would have died by now. His heartbeat was so fast that he began to feel pain. His breathing was extremely labored as well. Yanyan clenched her teeth, forcefully holding in her tears. She looked at Yang Dingtian. What are you waiting for? Why are you not taking off your clothes? Ximen Yanyan was undoubtedly furiously holding back her tears. Seeing this, Yang Dingtian suppressed all of his inner desires. I am not willing. What did you say? Yanyan removed her hands from her chest. Say that again? I am not willing, Yang Dingtian repeated clearly word-by-word. Ximen Yanyans cheeks turned cold. Why? This is not the time to be rebellious. Im not willing to let you sacrifice yourself for me. Im not willing to let you give me your body because of your father. I dont want your Xuan energy. I want to become a strong martial artist by myself, Yang Dingtian declared. Master sacrificed himself for me. City Lord Ximen sacrificed himself for me. From today onwards, I am not willing to have anyone else sacrifice themselves for me. After finishing his speech, Yang Dingtian turned to leave. Yang Dingtian, stay right there! Stay right there! Ximen Yanyan yelled. But, Yang Dingtian continued to walk away without stopping. Yang Dingtian, if you take one more step, you will not be my man anymore. I wont think better of you! I cant be proud of a man that acts like this because of his pitiful pride, Ximen Yanyan shouted seriously. You are not doing this for yourself. Youre doing it for me and for Cloud Sky City. I am a woman. I am your wife. Sleep with me when you should. Why bother about love and affection? As soon as you pass that rock gate, you will no longer be my man, Ximen Yanyan said word-by-word. Yang Dingtian turned. Yanyan, this selflessness of yours is actually the same as Dongfang Binglings cold selfishness. Both are equally cruel. Its my mission. I will complete it myself. I owe you too much. In the end, I have to use my own way to complete it. Then, Yang Dingtian immediately left. Yang Dingtian, youre a bad guy...., Ximen Yanyan scolded him coldly. Remember, you are no longer my man. I will no longer care about your matters. Ill just wait here for death. ******** Yang Dingtian first ran to the highest point of Cloud Sky City. He looked down at the ground, wanting to scream out all his inner thoughts. However, he didnt. He only stared at the view for half an hour before closing his eyes and calming himself. Then, he headed to Cloud Sky Citys Hidden Art Pavilion. No matter what happens, he had no more time to waste. The Hidden Art Pavilion was a nine-story stone tower, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. The higher you went, the higher the ranking of the secret scrolls you could find. The Hidden Art Pavilion was built on a solitary peak. The mountain peak was located outside of Cloud Sky City. After exiting through the West Gate of Cloud Sky City, you had to cross a long suspension bridge to reach it. Along the way, many people pointed at Yang Dingtian and showed disdainful smiles. He completely ignored them. Past the gate, he stepped onto the swaying suspension bridge. A thousand meters under the bridge was a wide, turbulent river. At the other end of the bridge was the Hidden Art Pavilion. Suddenly, a graceful red figure flashed over. Ximen Yanyan landed to bar Yang Dingtians way. With a gentle leap, Yanyan landed on the ropes on one side of the suspension bridge. The strong winds pressed her red clothes tightly against her body, accentuating her already bulging chest and shocking hips. The temptation she brought was unparalleled. Yang Dingtian, come back with me. Have sex with me and take away my Xuan energy. The moment you say no, I will jump off without using any Xuan energy and die right in front of you. s?a??h th?

Chapter 39: Talent Test Chapter 39: Talent TestTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales When they were underground, Ximen Yanyan had said that she would no longer care about Yang Dingtian and would never see him again. However, after only an hour, she had appeared in front of him again. If it had been me before everything happened, Im sure I would have stopped caring about you. I wouldnt have wanted to see you. I wouldnt have wanted to speak a single word to you. Ximen Yanyan looked at the river below. However, those mischievous days are like the water flowing below. It will never come back again. Yang Dingtian, we both no longer have the right to be willful. Yao Raos Yin Yang Xuan Devouring Arts is the one and only fast yet powerful method. I know, Yang Dingtian replied. Yes, he was even clearer on the subject than Ximen Yanyan. I have thought it through. First, we shall have sex, and I will pass you my Xuan energy. Once youve completely absorbed it, Ill find you a second wife. Then, youll have sex with her and absorb her Xuan energy. Ximen Yanyan was almost expressionless. She is much stronger than I am. You can rest assured that she is very moving, much softer, and much gentler than I am. Yang Dingtian was so shocked that he was speechless. He never thought that Yanyan would not only sacrifice her virginity for him but also drag another woman into this mess and sacrifice her as well. I know that this is very unfair to her, Ximen Yanyan said. She was adopted by daddy and is called Ximen Ningning. She could be considered his other daughter. We are even closer than blood-related sisters. We even joked before about wanting to marry the same man. Yang Ding took a deep breath. Lets set aside the part where doing this would completely destroy my pride. Even in our current situation, I will definitely not have intimate relations with you. Ximen Yanyans face turned red. What you want to say is that you will never take my body before you get my heart? s?a??h th? N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian lowered his head to show that she was right on the mark. Dont you know that, in fact, to gain a womans heart, the shortest path is through her ....vagina? Ximen Yanyan forced herself to say this. She turned away immediately, her beautiful face completely red. So, dont be rebellious and go back with me. Ximen Yanyan stretched out her little hands, her eyes looking extremely gentle. You can rest assured that I will learn to love you. Trust me. I will give you my heart in no time. Yang Dingtians chest began to get tight again. He slowly said, Yanyan, dont force me. I cant do it. Yanyans beautiful face turned angry. She was about to explode, but she held it in. Then, I should tell you that even if I dont pass you my Xuan energy, it will eventually go to waste. In just two more years, all the Xuan energy in my body will vanish completely, leaving me extremely weak. Why would this happen? Yang Dingtian asked in shock. You dont have to know. Just know that passing my Xuan energy to you is already the best outcome. Now, you just have to tell me whether you are willing or not? After a moment of silence, Yang Dingtian said word-by-word, Sorry, I cant do it. Yang Dingtian, you are not a man! Yanyan finally exploded. She pointed at Yang Dingtian and said coldly, You are a hypocrite. I used both good words and bad words. Ill ask you one last time. Will you have sex with me? If you say no one more time, I will jump down and die. Ill do it! Ximen Yanyans beautiful face was determined. She stared at Yang Dingtian. Her character was truly fiery. She would really do what she promised. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath again. He did not agree or disagree, but instead said, You jump, I jump! Lets just share the same fate. Hearing this, Ximen Yanyan was so angry that her entire body shuddered. Her beautiful face was flushed red due to her anger. Her eyes were opened so wide and looked ready to spit fire. Yang Dingtian, you know what? I really want to cut you with a sword right now. I have never seen such a hateful man like you. I will not like you even after a hundred years. Yanyan jumped back onto the bridge and walked ahead. After walking over ten meters, Yanyan turned and asked angrily, Why are you still standing there? Follow me to the Hidden Art Pavilion to practice. I want to see what you can really do. Otherwise, just obediently sleep with me and stop with all this nonsense. The two of them walked over a hundred meters and crossed the bridge. They reached a solitary mountain peak and stood at the bottom of the Hidden Art Pavilion. ... The Hidden Art Pavilion was truly magnificent. Although this stone tower only consisted of nine floors, it was a full 200 meters tall. The bottom floor had an area of ??nearly 10,000 square meters. The Hidden Art Pavilion is so important. Why arent there any guards? asked Yang Dingtian. Yanyan didnt want to answer him, but after a while, she explained grudgingly, Who said no one is guarding this place? Elder Mu Ye is the one assigned to guard this Hidden Art Pavilion. He is the one that wasnt present at the Elder Society meeting. In Cloud Sky City, his cultivation is almost equal to my dads. Its just that the formation that he made to protect this place does not allow him to leave this mountain. Before the body sacrificing incident, Yanyan rarely spoke to Yang Dingtian. Her attitude was cold but always courteous. Afterwards, however, her attitude towards Yang Dingtian was full of anger, which might have been the beginning of a significant shift. Yang Dingtian now understood why one of the elders was missing when they voted on such an important topic. Which floor are we heading to? he asked. The first floor, of course. You cannot even be considered a martial artist yet. Which other floor would you go? Ximen Yanyan answered impolitely. She walked straight through the gate and into the first floor of the Hidden Art Pavilion. Yang Dingtian followed and walked through a screen of blue light. An energy blocked him gently before admitting him smoothly. As long as the person had passed the period of enlightenment, he would be able to enter the first floor. The space on the first floor was huge. With an area measuring around ??ten thousand square meters, the hall was circled by ten rooms. On the door of each of these rooms, there were words written: Rank One Art Room, Rank Two Art Room, Rank Three ...... all the way up to Rank Nine Art Room. Only the last room had nothing written on the door. In the center of the hall, there was an open space with an area of roughly 100 square meters. There was almost nothing there. Only a mass of crystal-clear water floated in midair. The water could be completely contained within a one-meter cube. It constantly transformed into different irregular shapes in the air. Inside the water, a blue flame burned quietly. This mass of water and fire is used to test ones Xuan Vein talent, Yanyan explained. The rank of your Xuan Vein talent determines which rooms you may enter. The greater your talent, the higher the rank of the techniques you are able to learn. Yang Dingtian knew that he had Nine Yang God Veins, but his Master, Dongfang Niemie, had told him to never tell anyone. Xuan Vein talent is differentiated into how many ranks? Yang Dingtian asked. I dont know! Ximen Yanyan replied. However, the highest grade that has ever appeared in the past one thousand years was rank nine. There were nine people with that level of talent. These nine people eventually all reached the Martial Saints level. However, it has been over three hundred over years since the last Nine Yang Xuan Vein talent appeared. This is the reason why no God-like martial artist has appeared in the past four hundred plus years. Ximen Yanyan frowned. Put your hand in, I want to see why Uncle Dongfang and my dad valued you so highly. In the end, what kind of genius are you? As she said this, Ximen Yanyan looked extremely dissatisfied. Oh right. What were my master and Uncle Ximens ranks? Yang Dingtian asked. My daddy was rank eight middle class. Dongfang Sect Head was rank eight upper class. However, my dads rank eight middle class Xuan Veins cultivation was no lower than that of Dongfang Sect Head, so he was the worlds strongest person. Furthermore, your ex-fianc is also rank eight upper class, but her talent is even higher than Dongfang Sect Heads. She is viewed as the person closest to rank nine Xuan Veins. What about you? Yang Dingtian asked. Ximen Yanyan clenched her teeth and fists. Eighth rank close to upper class. My talent is just a little worse than your violent ex-wifes. Yang Dingtian was a little surprised. He really did not expect Yanyan to have rank eight upper class Xuan Veins. Her talent was almost unparalleled in the world. Then, why is there such a large gap between her cultivation and Dongfang Binglings? She couldnt even beat Ximen Yan. Why? You want to ask me why Im so weak despite having such talent, right? Why Im nowhere near comparable to Dongfang Bingling? Ximen Yanyan stated loudly. I can tell you that my current cultivation is the same as when I was nine years old. I had an accident at the age of fifteen. No matter how hard I tried after, my cultivation kept regressing. No matter much effort I put in, I will not have any cultivation left in two years. Now you finally know why Im willing to give you all the Xuan energy in my body. Because it will just go to waste in my body. Youre such a hypocrite. If I hadnt been injured back then, I wouldnt need to beg you to have sex with me. I wouldnt need you to be the heir of Cloud Sky City. I was supposed to be the most outstanding genius in Cloud Sky City in the past 300 years. This fact should be Yanyans most tragic secret. It was a past that she normally wasnt willing to mention. Having her tell him everything was equivalent to tearing open her wound. She stopped herself from crying, but she was actually crying in her heart. He saw a trace of blood seeping at the corner of Yanyans mouth, caused by her clenching her teeth too hard. She also clenched her fists so hard that her nails pierced her palms, causing them to bleed. Yang Dingtian, youre not the only one who has a miserable past. Youre not the only one to have been betrayed. Yanyan stared at him. So, can you put away your hypocrisy for the sake of Cloud Sky City and for the sake of my fathers mission? Have sex with me and accept my Xuan energy. Yang Dingtian slowly walked forward. He grabbed her pink fists and carefully opened them to reveal her stiff palms. He softly said, Im sorry Yanyan. I knew too little about you. But please give me a chance? Give me a chance to prove myself. My husband, we dont have time! Yanyan urged. We only have half a month. Give me time. Give me time. Otherwise, I wont be able to lift my head for the rest of my life. Yang Dingtian was firm but gentle. He gently wiped the blood off of Yanyans mouth with his fingers. I believe that you too have moments of pride, so you should also know the pain of having your pride crushed. The last thing Yang Dingtians said moved Yanyan. She was once as proud as Dongfang Bingling. But now, her martial arts cultivation was so weak and had been completely forgotten by the world, leaving her with only her incomparable beauty. Okay, Ill give you time. Ill give you ten days. Yanyan stared at Yang Dingtian. If you break through to become a Xuan martial artist in ten days, you will have proven that you can rely on your own strength to continue. If not, that means you are not capable. Then, well use my method to absorb Xuan Energy from me and Sister Ningning using the Yin Yang Xuan Devouring Arts. Deal? Deal. Yang Dingtian slowly agreed. Now, lets have a look at my Xuan Vein talent. Lets see what my Master and your dad valued. What should I do? You just have to put your hands in the water. Yanyan eyed the flame in the water. This flame is the purest Xuan energy. When your hand touches it, the Xuan veins in your body will resonate. The higher the rank of your blood veins, the greater the resonance and the larger this blue flame will be. If the flame only covers one-tenth of the water, that would mean that your blood veins are rank one. If the flame covers 80 percent of the water, that would mean that you are rank eight. When it exceeds 90 percent, that would signify rank nine. Dongfang Binglings flame covered 88 percent, just one step away from rank nine. Yang Dingtian immediately held his breath. Although he knew that he had Nine Yang God Veins, he was still a little nervous. Who knew if Nine Yang God Veins were the best? Would it be good enough to be rank nine? Yanyan seemed to be even more nervous than Yang Dingtian because he carried all of her hopes. Yang Dingtian slowly stuck his hand into the water. That flicker of flame seemed to form a resonance and began to slowly approach Yang Dingtians palm. The flames grew larger and larger. Yanyan stared at the flames and instantly couldnt breathe. ****** Chapter 40: Shocking Talent! The Secret Scroll Chapter 40: Shocking Talent! The Secret ScrollTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales It exceeded one tenth, two tenths, three tenths... Yanyan felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest. The flame touched Yang Dingtians palm, but it wasnt hot at all. It gave him a mysterious feeling as if it were alive. Suddenly, the flame suddenly reacted! Oh my God..., Yanyan said in shock, not daring to believe what she was seeing. S?a?ch* Th? N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. As soon as the flame touched Yang Dingtians hand, it became extremely violent and sharp, swiftly growing longer and thicker. It turned into a blue flame sword and pierced through the water towards Yang Dingtians forehead. It was a one-meter long flame sword, while this cube of water merely measured one foot on each side. It was a flame sword that measured over one meter long! Yang Dingtian exclaimed and exhaled, and Yanyan rushed to save him. However, when the Flame Sword touched Yang Dingtians forehead, it shrank back as fast as lightning and became gentle once again. The flames in the water then grew smaller and smaller. Yanyan, what is the rank of my Xuan Veins? Yang Dingtian looked at the flame in surprise. Yanyan witnessed everything while she was stunned. After a long time, she only shook her head and said, I dont know. I dont know what rank this phenomenon signifies. The flame rushed out of the water. Ive never seen nor even heard of such a thing before. But, I finally understand why my father and the uncle Dongfang thought highly of you and placed all their hopes on you. Yanyan looked at Yang Dingtian with complicated thoughts. In the future, no matter when or where, never take this Xuan Vein test again in front of anyone. At the moment, the sound of footsteps appeared on the outside, and a person passed through the energy gate. Yang Dingtian immediately withdrew his hands from the water, and the flame instantly returned to its original form, quietly burning in the water. No need to hide it. I already know everything. A girl wearing a red-purplish dress walked in and scanned Yang Dingtian from head to toe several times. So, you are our Ximen princesss husband? Tsk Tsk..... That girl shook her head and said to Yanyan, Cousin sister, your foresight isnt that good. This man looks very normal. Even his talent is so ordinary, only third rank. You actually chose someone with just rank three Xuan Veins to be your husband. And, you even dream of turning him into a Six Star Xuan Martial Artist within fifteen days and having him beat all the elites in Cloud Sky City a year and a half year later. Making him the new Cloud Sky City Lord is really the most ridiculous thing in the world. The girl laughed. These two boys are my new students. Theyve just passed through the period of enlightenment and will be selecting secret scrolls. However, they are only around ten years old, yet your husband is already over twenty. Ximen Yanyan, you were so arrogant and proud before you turned fifteen. You even said that only a top martial artist was qualified to be your husband. Why would you want such a useless man like him now? You really seem to accept anyone who comes to you, the girl said sarcastically. The girl was very beautiful. She was tall and had long legs. She had an exquisite melon face, but her lips were a little too thin. Although she covered it with lip gloss and it wasnt obvious when her mouth was closed, she couldnt conceal it once she started speaking. These thin lips prevented her from becoming a consummate beautiful woman. Yanyan said coldly, Tang Xin, you change face so quickly. I remember half a year ago, you tried so hard to please me. Even though I threw away the gift you brought me, you still kept smiling. So what? Tang Xin retorted. Now that your father is gone, you are no longer the princess of Cloud Sky City. You lost your superior Xuan Veins four years ago. You now only have your bitch face, a pair of big boobs, and a big butt. Yanyan was so furious that she trembled and couldnt even say a word. In a year and a half, you will be shamefully married off to the Qin family. Maybe you wont even be the first wife but merely a mistress, Tang Xin said with a smile. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. Brother Ximen Ju who was once infatuated with you has asked my dad for his permission to marry me. Yanyan was stunned. Ximen Jus infatuation with her had indeed reached the point of madness, so much so that had remained single until the age of thirty. Brother Ximen Ju really is different from your husband. The gap between them is like the difference between heaven and earth. Cousin sister, I really sympathize with you. You were so arrogant before your father died. Everything is gone now and youve been reduced to this state. It really is karma... Hearing her thoughtlessly mention her father, Yanyan grew angry. She instantly reached for the weapon on her waist, wanting to draw it and kill this girl. But, she kept her anger in check. While Yanyan used to be extremely demanding, she was also a pretty, na?ve, and romantic girl that rarely fought with others. She was unlike this Tang Xin, which was why she was so angry that even her body was trembling. Yang Dingtian held Yanyans cold wrists. He walked between her and Tang Xin and scanned the latter for a moment. Tang Xin proudly raised her head to let Yang Dingtian get a good look. She was a beautiful woman and had the right to be proud. Wow, not bad at all. Youre very tall. In particular, your pair of legs are extraordinarily long. Yang Dingtian said with a praising tone. Ximen Ju is a talented young gentleman. You two really are a good match. Tang Xin got prouder after hearing Yang Dingtians praise. Cousin sister, Brother Ximen Jus previous love for you was all fake. The person that he truly loved was me. Now that your father is no longer around, he immediately came back to me. Its useless even if get jealous till you vomit blood. Yang Dingtian ignored her, his gaze fixed on Tang Xins chest. Breasts are also pretty firm. Butt is curvy. Overall figure is not bad..... Yanyans face looked extremely awkward. She stared at Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian started laughing. But unfortunately, your breasts are fake. You stuffed something in it. Your butt is also not round as you also stuffed something down there. I am very worried about you. Will Ximen Ju ask for a refund when he sleeps with you? Of course, the most important part is your mouth. Its thin and wide. Your lower body really matches your lips ....Aaaa..... Yang Dingtian didnt get to finish because Yanyan pinched his waist hard. He yelled in pain. Yang Dingtian endured the pain, closed his eyes, and continued, Look at Yanyan. There isnt a part of her body that isnt perfect. Even her angry look is ten thousand times more attractive than when you act cute. Aaaaaa..... Yang Dingtian screamed for the second time. Yanyan was now using two hands to pinch him. Dont think that because something happened to City Lord Ximen, you can become a princess. Stop dreaming. Cloud Sky City only has one princess, and that is Yanyan. Dont be in a rush to take revenge. The first person that will want to kill you if you act like this is none other than your Brother Ximen Ju. Tang Xin got so angry that her face became a little distorted because Yang Dingtian had managed to hit all her weak spots. She had already tried to cover up her deficiencies, but Yang Dingtian managed to reveal and magnify them. Ill kill you.... Suddenly, the furious Tang Xin drew a long sword and was about to pierce it through Yang Dingtian. Enough..... Suddenly, a voice sounded out outside. It was Ximen Jus voice. Immediately, Tang Xin froze. Ximen Ju didnt come in, but he kept talking from the outside. Tang Xin, do what you came here to do. Okay! Tang Xins face was filled with fear. She was worried that he overheard Yang Dingtian point out her deficiencies. Ximen Jus sigh caused her entire body to tremble. It was obvious that she really loved him. After hearing Ximen Ju, she immediately brought her two students into the fifth rank martial arts room and carefully closed the door. Ximen Ju still didnt come in but said coldly, Only a clown would need to be good at talking. Did you come to Cloud Sky City just to be a clown? He didnt even call out Yang Dingtians name. Its obvious that he viewed him as an insignificant person. Yang Dingtian smiled. A man should always protect his woman. I am weak now and cant fight your woman with fists. Therefore, I could only fight with my mouth. Sorry if I made you laugh. Hopefully, youll be able to beat your opponents in half a month, Ximen Ju said coldly and left. Yanyan tilted her small head and looked at Yang Dingtian strangely. You understand womens bodies so well? Even though Tang Xin was dressed, you were able to see through her body? Yang Dingtian massaged his waist. Even if I have never eaten pork before, I might have still seen a pig run. Yanyan asked, And what did you mean just now? Were you saying that I only have a beautiful face and can only be a vase? Yanyan, youre acting mischievously now. What else do you need when youre already so beautiful? Yang Dingtian asked. But, I swear that I will stop using my words to fight others. Ill stop using them to protect you. Yanyan rolled her eyes and glared at Yang Dingtian. Its good that you know. Besides, Tang Xin is actually also a pitiful girl. .... Now was the time for him to select a secret scroll to study. The rank of the secret scroll he would get depended on the rank of his Xuan veins. In front of him, there were a total of ten secret scroll rooms. There were the ranking one to nine rooms as well as an unlabeled tenth room. Yanyan, which room should I enter? Which rank secret scroll should I study? Yang Dingtian asked. Ximen Yanyan replied, Lets go. Follow me. Yanyan brought Yang Dingtian to one of the rooms. However, it was the rank eight room instead of the rank nine one. Yang Dingtian was stunned but still followed her inside. The interior of the rank eight martial arts room only measured a few hundred square meters in area. There were only three bookshelves. On the first shelf, there were five scrolls. On the second shelf, there were three scrolls. The third shelf only had one scroll. In total, there were only nine secret scrolls. Why are there so few? Yang Dingtian asked. The higher the rank, the fewer the number of available secret scrolls, Yanyan explained. The rank one martial arts room has thousands of secret scrolls. When it reaches the seventh rank, there are only eighty secret scrolls. Although I dont know what your talent is, it should be very high, so the martial arts you should learn should be selected from these nine scrolls. Remember, once you choose a secret scroll, you can never change it. A martial artist can only learn one martial arts skill from the first to ninth stages. He must choose it very carefully. It completely determines your future achievements. I will introduce each secret scroll, after which you make the choice. Chapter 41: The Supreme Sword Tactic Chapter 41: The Supreme Sword TacticTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Can you only learn one kind of martial art? Yang Dingtian was surprised. Yes, because ones martial art determines ones Xuan energy path as well as the nature of ones attack. This is the reason martial artists can only learn one type of martial art. However, after becoming a great Xuan Instructor Martial Artist, you will be able to learn many types of Xuan skills, Yanyan explained. Martial arts determine how high a persons cultivation is. Xuan skills determine how strong a persons attack is. Martial arts are the foundation. Xuan skills are the branches. Then, Yanyan picked up a secret scroll. This is the Fire Demon Sword Tactic, an eighth rank beginner secret scroll. It has strong destructive capabilities. Ones Xuan energy automatically turns destructive. As soon as the enemy is struck, he will be hurt continuously. After she finished explaining, Yanyan looked at Yang Dingtian to see if he was interested. Yang Dingtian took the secret scroll and closed his eyes to look for a connection. After a while, he put it back. Yanyan picked up another scroll and introduced, This is Mad Prison Breaker Knife Tactic, eighth rank medium class. It has strong penetrating power. Its mysterious and unobtrusive. Yang Dingtian said, I want to practice swords, so only show me sword tactics. Why? Yanyan asked. Other weapons should be fine too, right? Because I want to cultivate the Sword Soul, Yang Dingtian answered. He recalled the moment when Ximen Wuya summoned the Sword Soul. It was so strong even though it was merely at the nascent stage. Ah... Yanyan yelled in surprise. Sword soul is the king of martial souls. Its extremely difficult. There are only three people in the world that have been able to cultivate the Sword Soul. Have you really thought it through? Which three? Yang Dingtian asked. My daddy, Dongfang Sect Head, and the Ying Yang Sect Head. Even Zhu Qingzhu didnt manage to cultivate the Sword Soul. In the world, hundreds of people want to cultivate the martial soul, but less than half of them have succeeded. For a normal martial soul, you just have to catch a powerful beast and can cultivate it immediately. Thats why many Xuan Martial Artist elites have martial souls to assist them in their battles. However, if it were to be a Sword Soul, Im afraid that even Guru-level top elites might not be able to cultivate it. Many cant even prepare all the ingredients required to make a Soul Sword. Is it difficult to get the ingredients to make a Soul Sword? Yang Dingtian asked. Sword Soul lets a sword gain life and a soul. To construct the best body, Yang-type materials are needed. The best kind is Bloody Black Gold. At least 99 pieces of Bloody Black Gold are needed. Just merely collecting these 99 pieces would require a martial artist to walk tens of thousands of kilometers and spend dozens of years to find them. Furthermore, the construction of the Soul Sword has to meet certain timing criteria. You might even need preciously rare Sea Soul Crystals. If youre unlucky, you may not be able to find all these ingredients in your entire lifetime. Yang Dingtian sucked in a cold breath and asked in his heart, Master, is this true? Its true, Dongfang Niemie replied. I found enough Bloody Black Gold after spending almost a decade searching. As for Xuan Vein Essence and Sea Soul Crystal, those completely depend on Gods will. Thats why cultivating a Soul Sword can be considered as one of the most difficult tasks in the world. Its even harder than reaching the Guru level. Yang Ding was stunned. How powerful is the Sword Soul? The king of martial souls! Dongfang Niemie declared. Whoever manages to cultivate a Sword Soul will stand above the entire world. Your Uncle Ximens Sword Soul was only at the nascent stage and was already so strong. In another ten years, no one would have been able to fight him. This was so all because he chose the toughest path, which is cultivating a Sword Soul, the strongest kind of martial soul. Yang Dingtian instantly became excited. You dont have much time, and it will be even more difficult to cultivate a Sword Soul. As a result, cultivating a normal martial soul will make you stronger faster. You have the Nine Yang God Veins so you would be able to cultivate a powerful beast martial soul. But..., if you dont cultivate the Sword Soul, you will never be able to reach the peak of this world. You would never be able to kill Zhu Qingzhu. You would never be able to beat Dongfang Bingling because she had also chosen the hardest path. She also chose to cultivate the Sword Soul! I know what I should do already, Master, Yang Dingtian declared. He looked at Yanyan and said, I choose to learn the sword, so I only need to consider sword tactics. Yanyan looked at him for a moment before saying, You are insane just like my daddy. Then, she walked to the second shelf and picked out one of the sword tactics. This was an eighth rank medium class sword tactic, Soul Devouring Sword Tactic! This sword tactic has the most mysterious energy. It is almost as pure as the sky. It is a lethal weapon against dark demonic opponents, Yanyan explained. Yang Dingtian immediately rejected the scroll, so Yanyan placed the secret scroll back. Yang Dingtian made this decision because none of his present or future opponents belong to evil factions, whether it was Cloud Sky Citys elite, Dongfang Bingling, or even the Xuan Sky Sect. Yanyan approached the last shelf. You didnt like the previous scroll, so were now left with just this one. Its the only choice you have left. Eighth rank top class secret scroll, Chaotic Heaven Destroyer Sword Tactic! This is the most solid secret scroll. It is capable of piercing anything. It is extremely overbearing and has King-like vibes. Yanyan almost used all the words she knew just to describe this secret scroll. You dont like any of the others, so you can only choose this one, Yanyan said as she passed the secret scroll to Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian took the secret scroll and immediately felt a vast, powerful energy. It instantly numbed his entire body, causing his Xuan Veins to feel extremely thirsty. However, Yang Dingtian still had some reservations. He looked outside, towards the ninth rank martial arts room, which contained Cloud Sky Citys top secret scroll. Which secret scroll did Uncle Ximen learn? asked Yang Dingtian. Yanyan answered, He practiced the only ninth rank secret scroll in Cloud Sky City, Hardship Overcoming Sword Tactic! Yang Dingtian also asked, Which rank is the greatest secret scroll in the world? Ninth rank, Yanyan replied. The worlds highest ranked Martial Art secret scroll is ninth rank. However, there arent many in the world. Even the Yin Yang Sect only has no more than three such scrolls. Cloud Sky City only has one. Yang Dingtian said, I want to go see this ninth rank secret scroll, the Hardship Overcoming Sword Tactic. Yanyan tool a deep breath and said bitterly, It was stolen. Five years ago, someone stole it. Yang Dingtian immediately saw a connection. Yanyan was injured five years ago, causing her to slowly lose all of her cultivation. Cloud Sky Citys one and only ninth rank secret scroll was also stolen five years ago. Could there be a connection between these two incidents? This topic seemed to cause Yanyans heart to hurt. She didnt want to dwell on the subject. Instead, she directly changed the topic. My daddy only has eighth rank medium class Xuan veins, but he still chose to learn the ninth rank medium class secret scroll, jumping one full rank. As a result, he was almost pushed into a dead end. For the first few years, he made no progress. Even his talent was nearly wasted. You dont have any other choice. This Chaotic Heaven Destroyer Swords Tactic is already the strongest secret scroll left in Cloud Sky City. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and asked, What is the strongest I can become if I were to learn this eighth rank top class Chaotic Heaven Destroyer Sword Tactic? Martial Saint! Yanyan replied. Yang Cloud Sky, the first-generation Cloud Sky City Lord had given up on the ninth rank secret scroll. He chose this eighth rank top class Chaotic Heaven Destroyer Sword Tactic. He eventually became a martial saint and was the last martial saint in the world. So strong? Yang Dingtian didnt dare believe it. He became a Martial Saint with just an eighth rank top class secret scroll? Yanyan said, Anyways, only Yang Cloud Sky has done this. When he saw the Chaotic Heaven Destroyer Sword Tactic, he couldnt put it down. It was as if it had been tailor-made for him. Yang Ding took a deep breath, filled with respect towards this ancient figure. This is the martial art that Martial Saint Yang Cloud Sky learned. If he could use this sword to become a Martial Saint, why couldnt he? Have you finished considering? Once you decide, you cant go back, Yanyan warned. Yang Dingtian grabbed the scroll. Once I choose my secret scroll, how do I study it? Yanyan answered, Open it and insert your Xuan energy into the scroll. After your Xuan energy enters the secret scroll, it will mix with the words. After the Xuan energy finishes traveling through the secret scroll, it will bring the essence of this martial art back into your body. Then, you will be able to start learning this martial art. So mysterious? The martial art was actually not recorded with words or pictures. Yang Dingtian took a breath and opened the Chaotic Heaven Destroyer Sword Tactic scroll. It was made out of a special material. There really were no words or pictures printed on it. There were only very, very complex lines, some of which were depressions, some of which were protrusions. These lines were extremely complex and were divided into several layers. They were many times more complex than the watermarks printed on Earths banknotes. Master, where did these secret scrolls come from? Were they written by the strongest men hundreds of years ago? asked Yang Dingtian. No, they were dug out of the ground. They were written by extremely strong elites in the ancient world. A huge disaster had destroyed the whole world, erasing most of those ancient legacies. These secret scrolls were buried underground during that time, Dongfang Niemie explained. Disaster? What disaster? Yang Dingtian asked. Dongfang Niemie narrated, A few thousand years ago, or more than 10,000 years ago, there was once a calamity. The entire world was completely destroyed. The entire tradition of martial arts completely collapsed. The chaotic continent was destroyed. The earth sank into the oceans. Part of the oceans became land. No one knows why such a calamity occurred, but almost all of the strongest secret scrolls were legacies from those ancient times. Yang Dingtian was shocked by this revelation. Since those in ancient times were so powerful, what kind of energy could actually destroy the world? Whatever the case, the Chaotic Heaven Destroyer Sword Tactic that he held came from ancient times and was not ordinary. Immediately, Yang Dingtian placed his palm on the secret scroll and focused, preparing to insert his Xuan energy. Yanyan, on the other hand, was holding her breath. She looked at Yang Dingtian with worry and excitement. Seconds passed. Then, minutes. Yang Dingtian, who had already made his choice, ended up not inserting his Xuan energy. Yanyan didnt understand. Even Dongfang Niemie was confused. Son, havent you already chosen this secret scroll? Why didnt you insert your Xuan energy? I dont know, Master. Yang Dingtian admitted. I am obviously very ambitious, and this is already the highest grade secret scroll in Cloud Sky City. My heart is filled with the desire to learn, but I just cant take that last step. I couldnt feel the natural fit that Yang Cloud Sky felt when he saw this secret scroll. There was no sparkling feeling. Yang Dingtian could not help but ask, Master, what secret scroll is Dongfang Bingling learning? Dongfang Niemie was silent for a moment. Then, he said, The worlds most supreme, ninth rank top class secret scroll, the Supreme Alpaca Demon Sword Tactic! In the past 400 years, she was the only one able to learn this martial art. Yang Dingtian once again sucked in a cold breath. The Sword Tactic that Dongfang Bingling was learning was three times harder than this Sword Tactic. It may even be much harder. However, in Cloud Sky City, the Chaotic Heaven Destroyer Sword Tactic was already the highest secret scroll left. What should Yang Dingtian do? Son, follow your instincts, Dongfang Niemie slowly advised. Seeing that Yang Dingtian had not yet started, Yanyan could not help but ask, What are you waiting for? S?a?ch* Th? n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian made a decision and immediately rolled up the secret scroll and put it back on the shelf. Are there any other secret scrolls? For example, in the tenth unlabeled room? What are the secret scrolls stored in that room? Chapter 42: The Ultimate Swordsmanship with No Rank! Chapter 42: The Ultimate Swordsmanship with No Rank!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales There? Yanyan said. The secret scrolls in that room have no rank. They are a bunch of rubbish. Rubbish? Yang Dingtian was doubtful. Yanyan explained, The secret scrolls stored there are either very low quality or cant be learned at all. According to the elders, these secret scrolls were all written by very weak martial artists in ancient times. However, they were still treated like treasures by later generations who unearthed them. It was only after learning them did they discover that the martial arts were either useless or caused numerous injuries. Each faction has many such rubbish secret scrolls. Let me take a look, Yang Dingtian said. Why do you even want to go there? Yanyan asked. Just bring me there, Yang Dingtian insisted. Yanyan frowned but eventually led Yang Dingtian to the tenth room where the rubbish secret scrolls were located. When the door opened, a mountain of dust rushed out. They werent sure how long was it since someone entered, but there was thick dust everywhere. There were no bookshelves. Instead, thousands of scrolls were littered all over the ground, some of which were even broken. Yang Dingtian bent down and picked up a scroll that was half opened. He found that it was already half rotten and threw it aside. He picked up another scroll with the title The Universe Devouring Great Law. The name was really arrogant. However, when he opened it, he noticed that the lines were all doodles, and several parts were already broken. Although Yang Dingtian did not understand this secret scroll, he was still able to identify it as rubbish. After looking through several secret scrolls, he discovered that they really were all garbage. It was impossible to expect to find treasures among the rubbish. Thats enough. Stop looking. Its all rubbish, Yanyan interjected. There were many people who thought as you did, but they all ended up disappointed. I can tell you that Ive looked through each and every piece of rubbish here. I once had the same idea. Yang Dingtian was extremely disappointed. It turns out he could only go back and learn the Chaotic Heaven Destroyer Sword Tactic. He followed Yanyan and turned away from this rubbish secret scroll room. Crakk...! Suddenly, the sound of something shattering could be heard. The hard slate floor cracked, and then, a golden light shot out. ********* Yang Dingtian was greatly surprised and ran over to get a closer look. Through the cracks in the slate, he a scroll laying a few feet underground. It was a golden secret scroll, the only one of its kind that Yang Dingtian had ever seen. Yang Dingtian excitedly took out the scroll, filled with high expectations. He opened it. There were four words written on top: Pig-Killing Sword Tactic. Yang Dingtian instantly wanted to vomit blood. This secret scroll had appeared to be so domineering and mysterious. However, the name, Pig-Killing Sword Tactic, sounded extremely strange and lame. Furthermore, there were no line marks in the scroll. It was completely empty. Yanyan, on the other hand, was laughing. She said, You must have thought that you found a treasure, thought that you had encountered a miracle. You are at least the 100th person to open this secret scroll. This is rubbish even among the rest of this garbage. There is nothing inside. Many people have tried examining it with their Xuan energy, but it remained completely unresponsive. This is a completely blank secret scroll. She was right. When Yang Dingtian held the other secret scrolls in his hands, he could feel surges of energy. This Pig-Killing Sword Tactic did not give him any such signals. However, Yang Dingtian didnt know why, but when he held this secret scroll, he was filled with an extremely strange feeling. Huh? Suddenly, Dongfang Niemies voice sounded in his mind. This secret scroll is very, very strange. How strange? asked Yang Dingtian. Normally, even if the secret scroll is very advanced, when I look at it, I would be able to see images, martial arts images, Dongfang Niemie explained. But, when I look at this secret scroll, I cant see anything. Its not a blank space. I want to get close to it, but its extremely proud and arrogant and refuses to let me see. Ive learned a ninth rank secret scroll, but even that hadnt given me such a too-high-to-reach feeling. Of course, this is just my intuition. Yang Dingtian was excited. Master, I dont know why. I get a very special feeling when I hold this secret scroll. Its as if I am about to swallow it, or it is about to swallow me. Indeed, when he held the Chaotic Heaven Destroyer Sword Tactic, his Xuan energy had seemed indifferent. But now, there was a deadly attraction, resembling the deserts unending yearning for the rainstorm. Follow your heart. Perhaps this is your fate, Dongfang Niemie said slowly. Yang Dingtian closed his eyes and looked inwards for a long time. When he opened his eyes again, his face was filled with determination. Thats it. Ill believe in my own intuition. Yang Dingtian opened his palm and inserted his Xuan energy. Yang Dingtian, you are crazy? Yanyan admonished. Several people once thought the same as you and decided to learn this blank secret scroll. Do you know what the consequences will be after you insert your Xuan energy? What? Yang Dingtian asked. You become a blank space, she answered. No matter how high your talent, after inserting Xuan energy to learn this, not only will you learn nothing, but you also become a blank space. In the past, an eighth rank genius tried to learn this Pig-Killing Sword Tactic. Not only did his cultivation not improve, he eventually wasnt even able to become a Novice Martial Artist until the day he died. Every genius who was stubborn and learned the Pig-Killing Sword Tactic become useless forever after. This secret scroll is a disaster. Cloud Sky City wanted to destroy it a long time ago. However, they somehow couldnt destroy it no matter what, so they buried it under the floor. I never thought that the floor would break today and that you would find it. In conclusion, as soon as you learn this secret scroll, you will be completely doomed. As such, I will not let you learn this shitty Pig-Killing Sword Tactic no matter what, Yanyan said. But, my heart tells me that this is what I want, Yang Dingtian argued. Many others thought the same as you, Yanyan said. Leave with me now. Leave this room. I am going to bury this disastrous thing back into the ground. Go learn the Chaotic Heaven Destroyer Sword Tactic. Yang Dingtian held this secret scroll tightly, refusing to move. His eyes were filled with urgency. Yang Dingtian, are you listening to me? Yanyan instantly became furious. Am I not your wife? Are you going to listen to what your wife is telling you? Are you not going to put that down? Youre still not moving? Dont force me to make you. Dont force me to beat my husband. Yanyan got angry and was about to hit him. Yang Dingtian, cant afford to let you take this risk. You cannot. You really cannot. I must, Yang Dingtian said clearly. S~?a??h the N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yanyans small face changed. She suppressed her anger and said gently, Good boy, listen to me. Go learn the Chaotic Heaven Destroyer Sword Tactic. I am your wife. I rely on you to protect me, my husband... She called him husband at the end in such a soft and sweet voice that Yang Dingtians entire body went numb. Yanyans soft attack had moved Yang Dingtians heart, but he bit his lips. He looked at Yanyan resolutely and said, Yanyan, Ive decided. At the moment, it was as if Yang Dingtian was under some spell. Yanyan stared at Yang Dingtian for some time. She took a dozen steps back and pulled out her dagger, placing it against her neck. She said coldly, Okay, go and learn it! After you learn this disastrous thing, I will have no hope left. Why not just let me die like this? You just have to insert your Xuan energy, and I will die in front of you. I, Ximen Yanyan, have an extremely fiery character. After meeting an asshole like you, Ive mostly held in my anger. You try and see if I dare? As soon as you insert your Xuan energy, I will immediately cut open my throat. Yang Dingtian was stunned. Yanyan was so tough and so cruel that he really had no clue what to do. Of course, he couldnt let her cut her throat, but must he just give up this Pig-Killing Sword Tactic? Yang Dingtian took a deep breath. Yanyan, I feel that this thing really is heavens gift to me. Of course, many people in the past also felt the same and ended up becoming useless. Without a doubt, choosing this Pig-Killing Sword Tactic is very risky, Yang Dingtian said. However, the fact that I came to this world was already a miracle, an almost impossible miracle. Sorry, you still wont convince me, Yanyan said. Im giving you two options. Leave the secret scroll and go with me, or I cut my throat and let the blood splash over your face. This is a secret that Ive told no one other than my Master. I didnt even tell your dad. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath. The fact that I came to this world is an impossible miracle. I am not from this world. What? Yanyan was stunned. I am not from this world. I came from another world, a world completely different from this chaotic mainland, a world that you will find very strange. Yang Dingtian smiled. Of course, in that world, there were no girls as beautiful as you. Impossible! Yanyans gaze became confused. I am from another world, so I must learn this Pig-Killing Sword Tactic, Yang Dingtian affirmed. I will take this risk. I will protect you. I will complete your fathers mission.... While he was talking, Yang Dingtian inserted his Xuan energy into the secret scroll. Yanyan only stared dumbly at him. Of course, she did not cut her throat. She was distracted by what Yang Dingtian had just told her. When he inserted his Xuan energy, line marks appeared on the secret scroll and then promptly vanished. Pig-Killing Sword Tactic! The line marks on this scroll were stranger than those on the other secret scrolls. They were extremely mysterious. The entire secret scroll vanished inch-by-inch and eventually, it completely vanished from Yang Dingtians hand. It had vanished from the world. Yang Dingtian closed his eyes and slowly floated in midair. Bright lights shot out and enveloped his body. This mysterious bright light enveloped Yang Dingtian just like how a mothers womb protected her baby. Countless lights then shot into his body. Staring at this scene, Ximen Yanyan was completely stunned. Chapter 43: The World’s Top Swordsmanship Chapter 43: The Worlds Top SwordsmanshipTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yanyan had never seen such a scene before. There has never been a secret scroll that vanished once it was learned. There wasnt any secret scroll that could only be cultivated by one person. But now, the Pig-Killing Sword Tactic had become a martial arts secret scroll that solely belonged to Yang Dingtian. ... Boom... Yang Dingtian saw a flash in his mind, and suddenly, he found himself in a dimensional virtual illusion. He was standing on a white jade platform that was floating in a sea of clouds. The place looked just like heaven. Yang Dingtian was amazed. How could learning martial arts be so mysterious? Whoosh... A gust of wind blew past, and a white cloud quickly condensed into an illusory figure. The figure could not be seen clearly as it shifted constantly with the wind, changing shape as it did. Its been ten thousand years. Someone finally came in. The figure sighed, sounding extremely old. Yang Dingtian suppressed his excitement, walked forward, and bowed. Yang Dingtian would like to greet senior. The figure made of clouds glanced at Yang Dingtian and quickly approached him. Then, a shroud of fog enveloped Yang Dingtian. In this huge world, it was actually a person from another world who has learned my swordsmanship. Interesting, interesting. The figure laughed and entered Yang Dingtians body to roam inside for a bit. Nine Yang Xuan Veins, one in a billion. Good, thats good!! The shadow smiled. Your name is Yang Dingtian? I am Xuwu Piaoyan, the author of the Pig-Killing Swordsmanship. Before you start learning the first stage of my art, I must first tell you something...... Yes, senior. Yang Dingtian sat down. More than ten thousand years ago, the legendary end of the world was about to arrive. But, no one in the world believed it because the entire Chaotic Mainland was at the peak in terms of martial arts. However, I gradually found many clues about it. Some races disappeared all of a sudden. A huge piece of land appeared deep in the ocean. Stars kept falling from the sky. So, I gave up the temptation to become the top elite in the world. I traveled around the world, walked hundreds of thousands of miles, looking for the root of the calamity and wanting to save the entire Chaotic Mainland. But, the further I traveled, the closer the crisis of calamity felt. The foreboding feeling of imminent disaster got stronger and stronger. I felt that I didnt have enough time. I was afraid that I would be unable to complete my task and needed someone to carry on my mission. If I were to fail, my successor could follow in my footsteps to find the source of the worlds destruction. Thus, I went and separated part of my Xuan energy and soul to write this secret scroll detailing the Pig-Killing Swordsmanship. S?a??h the N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. I wrote the first stage of my secret scroll while I was looking for the Naga clan in the depths of the Secret North Sea. As when I wrote the second stage and whether or not I found the Naga clan, I will only tell you when you reach the second stage. Naga clan C rumors say that they were born from the mating of dragons and sea snakes. They were the race that was closest to having dragon veins in the world. Although there have been rumors of the Naga clan throughout the past thousand years and everyone was aware of their existence, no one has ever seen them. Even Dongfang Niemie who had traveled the world had never seen any traces. As the quest for the source of the earths destruction requires my successor to be the strongest person in the universe, I wrote the secret scroll in a way such that only the person with the strongest Xuan veins could enter the secret scroll to cultivate. However, I certainly did not expect to wait ten thousand years for that person. Yang Dingtian, will you follow in my footsteps, to search for the source of the earths destruction, to find a way to save the entire Chaotic Mainland? Xuwu Piaoyan slowly asked. I do. Yang Dingtian said. However, the disaster has already happened. Ten thousand years ago, the world was destroyed. It had already happened? Xuwu Piaoyans shadow trembled and almost dispersed. It was destroyed. It really was destroyed... Xuwu Piaoyan sighed and asked, How did it come to pass? Yang Dingtian replied, The world changed. The oceans became mountains, and the mountains became oceans. The land sank into the oceans. Rivers disappeared. The earth turned upside down. A few thousand years after the disaster, the surviving human beings began to reproduce, relying on ancient martial arts scrolls to develop a martial arts civilization from the ground up. Xuwu Piaoyan let out a long sigh. You havent found the source of the worlds destruction, have you? No, Yang Dingtian admitted. No one was even looking for it. Then, you go and find it, Xuwu Piaoyan continued. When you become strong enough, follow in my footsteps to find the source of the worlds destruction so that I can rest in peace. Yes, Senior Xuwu, Yang Dingtian replied dutifully. But, I have many tasks of my own to complete now. I need to finish all of them before I can go look for the source of the worlds destruction. Of course, before you become a Martial Saint, you wont be able to continue my mission. You wouldnt even be able to pass through the Whirling Tie Boundary, Xuwu Piaoyan said. After hearing that, Yang Dingtian felt like he had taken on even more burdens. Then, we shall start learning the first stage of my Pig-Killing Swordsmanship, the Xuwu Nine Disaster Sword! (Note: Xuwu Nine Disaster Sword. The first two characters Xuwu are taken Xuwu Piaoyans surname.) Hearing the name of the sword tactic, Yang Dingtians heart jumped. Xuwu Nine Disaster Sword, is it strong? Xuwu Piaoyan was astounded and replied, The best in the world! Yang Dingtians body trembled fiercely. The blood in his body seemed to surge. Now, Im going to start imparting the Xuwu Nine Disaster Sword! Suddenly, the fog figure manifested a shadow sword from his hand and swung it lightly. The first disaster, Sword of Birth! Phew... Xuwu Piaoyan was like a crane, moving around and shifting through space. The sword light blurred. His pace was as graceful as a fairy. The second disaster, Sword of Beings! The third disaster, Sword of Ruthlessness! Fourth disaster, Sword of Ecstasy! Fifth disaster, Sword of Boundlessness! Sixth disaster, Sword of Selflessness! Seventh disaster, Sword of Compassion! Eighth disaster, Sword of Nirvana! The ninth disaster, Sword of Peace! Whoosh... There were endless swords and endless shadows. The area within a few kilometers was surrounded by the afterimages of Xuwu Piaoyan. Each move and each style left a shadow in the air. In the entire space, thousands of afterimages were frozen in the air, creating a magnificent and shocking scene. By linking the thousands of shadows together, one could see the complete Xuwu Nine Disaster Sword, the number one Sword Tactic in the world. Yang Dingtian was completely obsessed with the incomparably mysterious and powerful Sword Tactic. This was indeed the number one Sword Tactic in the world. Each move was so mysterious, so gorgeous, and so terrible. Each move seemed to exhaust all the spirit between heaven and earth. Each style seemed to burn up all the brilliance. It seemed like it was not a person but rather a celestial performing the sword dance. He danced the vicissitudes of the world. He danced all the disasters in the world. It was truly the number one Sword Tactic in the world! ... Whoosh whoosh... Suddenly, the thousands of afterimages vanished, turned back into ash, and condensed into Xuwu Piaoyan. Can you remember it? Xuwu Piaoyan asked. Yang Dingtian closed his eyes and fell into his memories, letting the whole Xuwu Nine Disaster Sword replay itself in his mind over and over again. They seemed to have been engraved in his mind. Yes, I remember, Senior, Yang Dingtian replied. Xuwu Piaoyan said, Thats good. I will perform it again. Xuwu Piaoyan floated back into the air and performed the Xuwu Nine Disaster Sword again. Another amazing and mysterious scene played out. Yang Dingtian indulged in it once more, appreciating the celestial-like sword dance. Xuwu Piaoyan finished and sheathed his sword. He stood up and asked, Remember? Yang Dingtian went back into meditation, looking inwards to examine this new performance. Even though it was more complex than the previous one, he was still able to remember. How are you feeling? Xuwu Piaoyan asked. Its not like the first dance. Its a little bit simpler and also a little bit different, Yang Dingtian replied. Very good. Xuwu Piaoyan laughed. Then, I will perform a third time. ... Next, the fourth time. The fifth time. The sixth time. ... After the eighth time, Xuwu Piaoyan asked, Can you remember now? Yang Dingtians face scrunched up in pain. He finally shook his head. I cant remember because each performance is different. Some of the movements are one way in one performance and the opposite in the next. What feeling did you get? What impression? Xuwu Piaoyan asked. Yang Dingtian said: Each performance is simpler than the last, but also less pleasing to the eye. Xuwu Piaoyan laughed loudly. Thats good. Now, watch a ninth and final dance. Xuwu Piaoyan swung the shadow sword in his hand and performed the ninth dance of the Xuwu Nine Disaster Sword. His sword was thrust straight forward. The first move, stab the throat and deplete the blood! Then, the sword took a stroke. The second move, slit open the stomach! Then, the sword swept out. The third move, chop off the head! After that, the sharp sword twitched. The fourth move, dig out the heart and lungs! Then the sword shook and snaked forward. The fifth move, eviscerate the stomach! The light flashed and the sword stabbed four times at different angles. The sixth move, chop off the limbs! Then, the sword fell from above and struck suddenly. The seventh move, cleave in two! After that, the sword slanted and crossed from side to side. The eighth move, strip the flesh from the bones! Finally, the long sword thrust downwards for the first time! The ninth move, sheathe the sword! ... Soon, Xuwu Piaoyan finished demonstrating the ninth dance of the Xuwu Nine Disaster Sword. By this point, Yang Dingtian was already completely stunned. He stood there, motionless with eyes wide. From the first to the ninth dance, he had watched the extremely gorgeous, complicated, and mysterious Xuwu Nine Disaster Sword eventually coalesce into the Pig Killing Sword Tactic. The nine disasters turned out to be the nine steps of the Pig Killing Sword Tactic. From gorgeous to vulgar. From complex to simple. From high-end to a low-end. From heavenly to butchery. How do you feel? Xuwu Piaoyan laughed. Yang Dingtian had still not recovered from the experience. He originally thought that the Pig Killing Swordsmanship was only a name used to avoid notice. He thought the real name was the Xuwu Nine Disaster Sword, which sounded very mysterious. However, he did not expect that the marvelous sword art was really just called the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, After I learn the Pig Killing Swordsmanship, there will be no sword in the world! Well said... Xuwu Piaoyan laughed loudly. After you learn the Pig Killing Swordsmanship, the world will have no sword! Then, the figure continued, If you use the Pig Killing Swordsmanship directly, then it is vulgar and not fantastic. However, if you start from the complex and mysterious Xuwu Nine Disaster Sword and build step-by-step towards the Pig Killing Swordsmanship, then the power will be infinite and incomparable. This martial art is extremely strong. It reduces the complex to the simple, returning to the basics. Only after experiencing prosperity can one enjoy the plain. Only after one has become dazzling can one have the right to keep a low profile. After hearing those words, Yang Dingtian saluted sharply. They not only imparted the truth of martial arts but also the truth of the world. His mentor continued, Now, you try to perform this set of Xuwu Nine Disaster Sword over and over again. Follow your feelings. Let your Xuan energy follow your feelings to spread out. Let me see your talent, your comprehension, and what amazing power this swordsmanship will demonstrate through you. Yes, Senior! Yang Dingtian replied. He then stretched out his right hand. A virtual shadow sword slowly materialized in his grip. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and immersed himself in the Xuwu Nine Disaster Sword. Phew... The sword flashed and a strong wind blew. Chapter 44: Sword Practicing! Impressive! Chapter 44: Sword Practicing! Impressive!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian was completely immersed in the Xuwu Nine Disaster Sword. His heart and soul had completely entered the depths of the sword art. The first disaster, Sword of Birth! Yang Dingtian dropped from the sky. His sword slammed into the hard ground like a meteor. Bang... A powerful Xuan energy shot out quickly. A piece of white jade splintered into pieces and scattered everywhere. The sword light was pulled back, gorgeous and luxuriant like a galaxy. He cut through the splashing rocks. Boom! In an instant, countless flying stones crumbled into dust. The second disaster, Sword of Beings! Swoosh swoosh swoosh... The long sword quivered, and the tip of the sword shot out quickly. There were countless rays, resembling the dense canopy of stars in the sky. In an instant, there were dozens of swords. Then, hundreds of swords! A hundred cold stars flashed. Phew... The sword traced a circle and brought the hundred cold stars together. The numerous cold stars condensed into a thick sword and struck down like lightning. Boom... The entire ground burst open. Countless jade stones flew everywhere. The third disaster, Sword of Ruthlessness! Phew... The cold light was circling while the sword shadow was looming. Swaying in the turbulence, the sword hovered between the cold light and the sword shadow. It was impossible to pinpoint its exact location. Suddenly, a cold light burst forth, shining like the stars. Swoosh... The sword light struck. Bam bam bam... The air tore apart inch-by-inch. The head of a stone lion in the distance was silently cut off. The sword of ruthlessness seemed ephemeral, and yet, the shadow would reappear, ruthless and cold. The fourth disaster, Sword of Ecstasy! The air circulated, and the sword shadow instantly became graceful, simultaneously straight and curved, suddenly cold and soft. The sword whistled like weeping. The figure holding the sword seemed solitary like a wild goose. The sword hovered unpredictably and circled Yang Dingtian lightly. As gentle as water, it moved delicately like smoke. Phew... Suddenly, the gentle sword rainbow turned into a sharp blade. Kill! Destroy! The sword shadow faded. In the aftermath, everything was covered in dust. The fifth disaster, Sword of Boundlessness! If the heart was boundless, then the sword was also boundless. Though the heart was not, the killing intent was still very strong. Kill everyone and destroy everything. The sixth disaster, Sword of Selflessness! Where did I come from? Where did I go? If there was no me, where would the sword be? If the sky is ruthless, why am I there? The seventh disaster, Sword of Compassion! Grieving after victory. Depression after failure. Sorrow in life. Sorrow in death! A grieving sword breaks the heart. Every sword breaks the soul! The eighth disaster, Sword of Nirvana! The heavens are dead. The earth is dead. Life is short. Ask for what you desire. Imagine something to wish for. What is there to fear? Being destroyed by heaven and earth is not a big deal! The ninth disaster, Sword of Peace! Take sorrow to the limit. Then, there will be no sorrow. Take fear to the limit. Then, there will be no fear. At the end of disaster, in the past and the present, there will be no sadness, no joy, no fear, and no disaster! ... Yang Dingtian held his sword and stood still. For a long time, his figure and spirit could not be separated. Phew... All of a sudden, the smoke surrounding Yang Dingtian dispersed. It fell to the ground and reformed into Xuwu Piaoyan. At this time, the entire ground was a mess. Hundreds and thousands of meters of the floating platform had been destroyed by Yang Dingtians sword. Wake up! Xuwu Piaoyan shouted gently. Yang Dingtians eyes turned from dull to alert. Looking at the mess around him, he revealed an incredulous expression. What happened just now? Why dont I remember anything at all? How do you feel? asked Xuwu Piaoyan. I felt like I was in another lifetime, Yang Dingtian answered. Such exquisite swordsmanship. Ive never seen or even heard of it before. After I learn the Pig Killing Swordsmanship, there will be no sword in the world! But... But what? Xuwu Piaoyan asked. But, the Xuwu Nine Disaster Sword that I performed was not the same as the one demonstrated by Senior, Yang Dingtian said. It doesnt have to be the same, Xuwu Piaoyan replied. The sword has no fixed pattern. Each person is different so each sword will be different. Otherwise, it would be a dead sword. Xuwu Nine Disaster Sword pursues spirit, not form. Xuwu Piaoyan continued, Want to hear my evaluation of you? Please! Yang Dingtian said. Your talent is something Ive never seen or even heard of. Your first time demonstrating the Xuwu Nine Disaster Sword makes one feel deep despair after watching it. But, its not just because of your talent. Your sword also contains your joy and anger as well as your grievances and hatred. At your age, you have already gone through so many things. Thus, your sword is filled with endless stories and has become extremely deep and profound. But... But what? Yang Dingtian questioned. You invested too much of your mind into it, making it easy to hurt yourself and others. You should know that the Xuwu Nine Disaster Sword is the most complicated, the most profound, the most gorgeous, and the most mysterious sword art. However, the ultimate goal of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship is to return to the basic, to return to the vulgar yet elegant swordsmanship. Therefore, dont push too hard. Fate passes by your door if you push too hard. If it should be empty, it must be emptied! Xuwu Piaoyan explained slowly. Yang Dingtian immediately fell into deep thought. After a long time, he said, Senior, although I am not capable right now, I will try to understand your words. Do I need to practice a second time? Xuwu Piaoyan shook his head. No need. Such a Sword Tactic is something you only need to learn once from the secret scroll. You have already learned as much as you can. After leaving the dimension of virtual illusion, you can comprehend by yourself. How does your body feel at this moment? Yang Dingtian answered, There is a vigorous energy surging to get out. Xuwu Piaoyan explained, Each martial arts secret scroll in the world contains the pure vitality energy of the writer. When someone learns it for the first time, it can cleanse the Xuan veins, absorb the Xuan energy between heaven and earth, and expand the Xuan veins and Sea of Energy. Thus, each student learning a secret scroll for the first time will experience a subsequent breakthrough. An ordinary secret scroll can cause a one-star breakthrough. An excellent secret scroll can cause one to break through two stars. As for the Pig Killing Swordsmanship scroll, you will be able to break through four stars with your talent. When you return to reality, you will find that your Sea of Energy had experienced a great breakthrough. At that time, you will be a four-star Novice Martial Artist, or perhaps even higher. Is that true? Yang Dingtian was immediately overjoyed. Of course it is true, Xuwu Piaoyan continued. However, this opportunity comes once and only once in a lifetime. Yang Dingtian was filled with hope. Then, within half a month, will I be able to break through to become a Six-Star Xuan martial artist? Xuwu Piaoyan was stunned and then shook his head. It is impossible. Even martial artists from ten thousand years ago, with their greater prosperity and legacies, would be unable to achieve this. For a peerlessly talented person, it would still take three months for him to go from enlightener to a Six-Star Xuan martial artist. Yang Dingtians heart turned cold. The person in front of him was not a master of the world but an incomparably powerful saint who lived ten thousand years ago. If he said no, then there really was no possibility. S?a??h the Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. There is no possibility, even in a history spanning tens of thousands of years? Yang Dingtian was filled with an unwillingness to concede. There is no possibility. Such a thing completely violates the greatest theorems of the human body and nature, Xuwu Piaoyan replied. Yang Dingtian exhaled hard. By the way, what day is it today? Xuwu Piaoyan suddenly asked. Even-numbered year, the first day of September, Yang Dingtian answered. Is it Gods will...? Xuwu Piaoyan was stunned and muttered to himself. Yang Dingtians heart jumped suddenly. Is there any hope? Senior Xuwu. Xuwu Piaoyan explained, In 12 days, it will September 13th, which is the Yin Yang Festival that occurs once every three hundred years. At that time, the twin Moons will cover the Twin Suns, casting the world into pure darkness. At that moment, Yin and Yang blend, causing the Xuan energy between heaven and earth to become extremely pure. As you know, the worlds martial artists can only inhale and exhale Xuan energy in the morning. This is because the Xuan energy at that time is relatively pure. Even so, if you swallow ten buckets of Xuan energy, there will be nothing left after refining because Yin and Yang are separate. Xuan energy is impure, and the properties of strength and grace are separate. Excessive swallowing of it will harm ones life. However, during the Yin Yang Festival, at the moment of the full solar eclipse, the Xuan energy between heaven and earth is instantly purified. The Xuan energy absorbed at this time needs almost no refining. It can be collected and used for oneself. Therefore, swallowing Xuan energy at that time is over a hundred times more effective than usual. Yang Dingtian said, At that time, can I break through to become a Six-Star Xuan martial artist? Of course not, Xuwu Piaoyan replied. Despite the over a hundred times effectiveness of absorbing Xuan energy at that time, the period passed too quickly, gone in almost an instant. So, you need to construct a big formation called the Yin Yang Five Element Formation. Have you heard of it? I have never heard of it, Yang Dingtian said. Not just Yang Dingtian, not even Dongfang Niemie had heard of it. Therefore, it must be something that was lost during the great calamity. When inhaling and exhaling Xuan energy, one can only absorb the Xuan energy within ten meters. However, using the Yin Yang Five Element Formation, one can swallow Xuan energy even a few miles away at the very least. On the high end, one can even swallow Xuan energy from dozens or even hundreds of miles away, Xuwu Piaoyan explained. Yang Dingtians hot blood instantly started boiling after hearing these words. He needed to break through to become a Six-Star Xuan martial artist by September 15th. On the 13th, a total solar eclipse, which occurs only once every three hundred years, would cover the entire world. Was this not Gods will? Well, then I can break through to become a Six-Star Xuan martial artist, right? Yang Dingtian asked. Maybe, but its also difficult, Xuwu Piaoyan replied. In my era, someone used the Yin Yang Five Element Formation during the Yin Yang Festival and broke through thirteen levels to finally become the worlds strongest. Your talent is amazing, but breaking through sixteen levels is really hard to imagine. Yang Dingtian was excited. Even if there is only a little hope, I will try my best. Senior, please tell me what to do. How do I build the Yin Yang Five Element Formation? Xuwu Piaoyan explained, You need to find a piece of circular land, half of which is Yin and half of which is Yang. Yin has Yang. Yang has Yin, but with a clear separation. Then, build the Five-pointed Star Formation within the circle. Place a Five Element Demon Nucleus in each of the five respective corners. Electric type on the top. Ice type on the left. Fire type on the right. Gold type and wind type on the bottom. In this way, the Yin Yang Five Element Formation is complete. The stronger the formation, the more Xuan energy you can gather. You will stay in the eye of the formation. When the Twin Moons cover the Twin Suns, the endless Xuan energy will enter your body from your head. At that time, the energy is incomparably pure and can directly enter the Sea of Energy. You will be able to use it. Then, you only need to operate the unique Xuan inhalation tactic of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship, and you will be able to refine the Xuan energy and merge it into your Sea of Energy. Ill remember, Senior. Yang Dingtian replied excitedly. Remember, to obtain the Five Element Demon Nucleus, you must hunt and kill the beasts by yourself. You must not borrow outside strength. This is because the moment before the beast dies, your energy, breath, and your aura will imprint themselves onto the demon nucleus. If you dont hunt the beast yourself, the formation will not be compatible with you, creating unimaginable consequences. The endless Xuan energy will instantly tear you into pieces. Ill remember, Senior. Yang Dingtian repeated. Well, then out you go. Go back to the real world. A long time should have already passed. Im going to disappear too..., Xuwu Piaoyan said. Suddenly, a cool feeling flooded from the top of his head. Yang Dingtian woke up slowly and returned to reality. Chapter 45: Yanyan’s Reaction Chapter 45: Yanyans ReactionTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Wait... All of a sudden, Xuwu Piaoyan stopped him. Yang Dingtians body stopped disappearing. Everything went black He could only see a mass of white light which condensed into the form of Xuwu Piaoyan. Theres a way to get a bigger breakthrough, but I cant guarantee that it will work, Xuwu Piaoyan said. Senior, please advise, Yang Dingtian said. Empty body, empty veins, Xuwu Piaoyan explained. A warrior practicing martial arts six hours a day and training energy one hour a day. Practicing martial arts can increase the capacity of the Xuan veins and Sea of energy. Training energy can fill the space left by the growth. Accumulate day-by-day and month-by-month to achieve the breakthrough. On the day of the Yin Yang Festival, if the formation is large enough and strong enough, you may gain a very strong and profound Xuan energy. How big your breakthrough will be determined by the absorption capacity of your Xuan veins and Sea of energy. In a short period of time, the more Xuan energy you swallow, the more breakthroughs you can make. Thus, if you want to have enough space in your Sea of energy and Xuan veins, you need to forge your body and forge your veins. You can keep practicing the sword and not train energy. I will lock your veins first to not let any Xuan energy enter. That will suppress the desire of the Sea of Energy to break through, causing your Sea of Energy and Xuan veins to become hungry and thirsty. In that state, you will be able to swallow the most Xuan energy and achieve the most breakthroughs. Using this method, the possibility of breaking through to become a Six-Star Xuan Martial Artist may be greater, Xuwu Piaoyan continued. Of course, this is just my speculation. Reality may turn out differently. Yang Dingtian thought for a while. Then, I will do this. Anything to increase my chances. Swish swish... Two rays of light slammed into Yang Dingtians head. He felt that his whole body had stagnated. Then, his whole body seemed to float. The blockade of your veins can be unlocked at any time. If you dont unlock them, then at the moment of the total solar eclipse, endless Xuan energy will flood into your body and automatically open them, Xuwu Piaoyan said. Yes, Senior, Yang Dingtian said. To what extent should I practice the sword in order to make my Xuan veins and Sea of energy the hungriest? Extremely hard, of course. This is the time when you need to use the highest level of the Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword, to turn the complex back to the basic, and form the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. At that time, you will be able to exert the maximum power of this swordsmanship. However, achieving that level is too difficult. You need to practice the Sword Tactic at least ten thousand or even a hundred thousand times. Youre running out of time so you may only be able to practice the Sword Tactic ten thousand times at the most to reach the highest level possible. This is because you need to spend time hunting the Five Element Demon Nuclei and to find a suitable place for the formation. Yes, Senior. Ill practice the swordsmanship ten thousand times and do my best to reach the highest possible level, Yang Dingtian said. Goodbye then. I will see you again after you fully master the first stage of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. After saying his piece, Xuwu Piaoyans figure slowly began dissipating. I hope that by that time, I can tell you more. Remember, dont tell my secrets to others. Then, Xuwu Piaoyans figure vanished completely. ... Yang Dingtian opened his eyes slowly as if waking up from a dream. Yanyan was unexpectedly sleeping on the ground at this time. Her plump and charming body was curled up like a little insecure beast. When her plump and alluring body curled in on itself, her figure became even more stimulating. She had fallen asleep. Yang Dingtian did not know how much time had passed. He approached her and gently pushed her shoulder. Who is it? Yanyan was surprised. She suddenly opened her beautiful eyes and quickly placed her sword against Yang Dingtians neck. Why are you sleeping here? Yang Dingtian asked. You were in the ring of light for a whole day and night, motionless. Where am I going to sleep if I dont sleep here? Yanyan got up. A whole day and night? Yang Dingtian was surprised. Why do I feel like almost no time had passed? Yanyans beautiful eyes looked at Yang Dingtian, filled with expectation and anxiety. She seemed to be looking for any changes he had undergone during this period of time. When one learns a common martial arts secret scroll for the first time, one would normally need no more than three hours. You actually used a whole day and night. The Pig Killing Swordsmanship is definitely extraordinary. Have you learned it? I have learned the first stage of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship, also known as the Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword, Yang Dingtian answered. Upon hearing that impressive name, Yanyans beautiful eyes widened in excitement. Quickly demonstrate it for me to see. I want to see how powerful it is. Alright! Yang Dingtian stretched out his hand. Lend me your sword. Yanyan suddenly remembered that Yang Dingtian had no sword. She quickly handed him her sword. After receiving the sword, Yang Dingtian slowly closed his eyes and breathed in. He opened his eyes again and gently pulled drew a sword flower and executed his Sword Tactic. Suddenly, his heart and soul entered the world of Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword. Swish... The sword was as bright as a rainbow and roared like the tide. In the abandoned secret scroll martial art room, Yang Dingtian performed the Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword! The first disaster, Sword of Birth! The second disaster, Sword of Beings! The third disaster, Sword of Ruthlessness! ... The eighth disaster, Sword of Nirvana! The ninth disaster, Sword of Peace! ... At the moment, the dark secret room seemed to enter another world. Boundless sword shadows. Boundless sparkles. The sword blade was as cold as water, weaving a mysterious picture in space. Six minutes later, Yang Dingtian held his sword and stood upright. Although his performance was not as perfect as it was in the world of virtual illusions, he was satisfied. He felt that he had done well and so he looked at Yanyan with expectation. Yanyans beautiful eyes were blurred. The swordplay had been fascinating and colorful. She asked, Is this the Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword? I have never seen such a beautiful and wonderful swordsmanship. After that, Yanyan seemed to notice something. Her face suddenly turned white. Where is the Xuan energy? Why dont I feel the tiniest bit of Xuan energy when you were demonstrating this set of moves? How many levels did you gain after learning this martial arts secret scroll? Yang Dingtian did not know how to answer. There will be a breakthrough during the initial learning of any secret scroll in the world. The first time I learned the Chaos Heaven Destroyer Swordsmanship, I broke through three times and directly became a three-star Novice Martial Artist. The set of moves you just demonstrated looked very nice. However, it was only done in vain and had no power at all. It was like a dance instead of swordsmanship. Now, Ill show you real swordsmanship, Yanyan said. She took the sword from Yang Dingtians hand and executed the first move quickly. Suddenly, a long rainbow appeared in the sky, resembling a passing meteor. The air twisted at once, and the sword in her hand was stained with red flame, looking like it had been burned red. Swoosh... Then, the second sword. The body of the sword became like a stormy sea and a surging wind. The body of the sword roared like a dragon and a tiger. The air became a fiery red that then enveloped the sword. Suddenly, it seemed like a fire dragon was hovering over the swords sharp edge. Roar... The third sword was like a raging tsunami. The sharp sword roared, and the fire dragon on the sword body roared with rage, igniting and tearing the air inch-by-inch. The surrounding area dozens of square meters large suddenly went dark. The whole space had been swallowed up by the Energy Formation brandished by the sword. On the tip of the sword, there was an extremely bright point, which seemed to contain all the light that had been drained from the environment. Bang... Finally, the fire dragon on the sword shot the light forth fiercely. Boom... The light hit the ground, suddenly creating a five-foot crack on the hard ground. ... Yanyan sheathed her sword and stood. This is just the power I was able to wield when I first learned the Chaos Heaven Destroyer Swordsmanship. It was enough to tear a five-foot crack in the ground. You couldnt even tear a scroll. Yang Dingtian saw that Yanyan was about to get mad. He hurried to explain, Dont be anxious. My swordsmanship is different from all the other secret scrolls. I havent broken through because I locked my veins to avoid one. I plan on making my Xuan veins and Sea of Energy hungry and thirsty to achieve a bigger breakthrough in the future. After listening to Yang Dingtians explanation, Yanyan stared at him before shaking her head. I have never heard of such a thing. Because this is the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. It is different from all other Sword Tactics, Yang Dingtian said. All I see is that you learned this swordsmanship without achieving any breakthrough. Yanyan frowned slightly. Then, you tell me. When will you break through? How many times will you break through? In twelve days, on September 13th, the day of the Yin Yang Festival, Yang Dingtian answered. I dont know exactly how many times I will break through. Are you kidding, Yang Dingtian? Yanyan was unhappy. Why dont you just say that you will break through on September 15th after the Elimination Battles are over? Because that day is very special. It is the Yin Yang Festival. Breakthroughs will be easier to achieve on that day. I am not trying to stall, Yang Dingtian said with determination. S?a??h th? N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. You are my husband. Of course, I would like to believe you, but the reality is that I had not seen any Xuan energy in your swordsmanship. There has been no breakthrough. Yanyan tried to be gentle. Im afraid that youre lost, trapped in your own fantasy. Obviously, it is a set of moves that form something like a womans dance. It is obviously a decorative swordsmanship, but you are indulging in it and treating like some sort of unique martial art. If it is as I believe, we really are finished. Husband, I am so frightened because I suddenly thought of someone. Yanyans beautiful eyes fell as she recalled a terrifying incident. His name was Yang Yunchong, the eldest son of Yang Lies grandfather. Originally, my father should have never had a chance to become Lord of Cloud Sky City. Yang Yunchongs talent was even higher than my fathers, ranking the first in the whole Northwest Mainland. Everyone thought that he would become the most powerful Lord in the history of Cloud Sky City. At the age of twenty-three, he was already a Xuan Martial Artist powerhouse and was world famous. But, one day, he discovered the Pig Killing Swordsmanship and was immediately tempted. He used a Xuan Dissociation Pill to unlearn his Chaos Heaven Destroyer Swordsmanship which had reached the Xuan Martial Artist rank. Then, he began learning the Pig Killing Swordsmanship from the beginning. No one could persuade him to stop. He seemed to have gone completely crazy. After that, he transformed from a top genius to a wastrel. Finally, he went completely mad. Thus, Cloud Sky City lost its best heir. Since then, the Pig Killing Swordsmanship has continued to be a disaster. Yanyan looked pained. Just now, I was momentarily shocked by the secret you told me. You said that you were not a man from this world. Then, you transmitted your Xuan energy into the secret scroll while I was stunned. I wanted to stop you, but it was too late. You know how worried and regretful I was? Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement. He couldnt learn the martial art because his Xuan veins were not good enough. You absolutely have no idea what I encountered in the world of the secret scroll just now. What did you encounter? Yanyan questioned, restraining her anger. An incomparably mysterious world of fantasy. A white-haired old man taught me this powerful and unparalleled Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword, Yang Dingtian answered. Thats all I can say. The rest I have to keep a secret. I cant say too much. As soon as she heard the words, Yanyans beautiful face turned white. She shivered. Yang Dingtian, the words you said were exactly the same as what Yang Yunchong said in the past before he subsequently plunged into madness... Yang Dingtians body trembled, but then, he shook his head. Thats impossible. Im the only one who has ever managed to enter the Pig Killing Swordsmanship secret scroll. I dont know what happened to Yang Yunchong. Maybe he encountered an illusion. In my heart, I know very well whether the swordsmanship is real or not. Her plump and tender body then snuggled up gently against Yang Dingtian. She touched his face and used a gentleness she had never used before. Husband, dont end up like Yang Yunchong. Listen to Yanyan for once. We can use a Xuan Dissociation Pill to remove the murderous Pig Killing Swordsmanship. Then, youll be able to learn the Chaos Heaven Destroyer Swordsmanship. If you agree, I will obey you no matter what you say in the future. At that moment, Yang Dingtians body was shivering. Yanyan thought that he had changed his mind and said gently, Husband, Yanyan will completely rely on you in the future. Shall we use the most secure way? Lets use a Xuan Dissociation Pill to unlearn the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. Then, you can learn the Chaos Heaven Destroyer Swordsmanship. Afterwards, I will accompany you in bed and give you my Xuan energy, okay? This method is guaranteed to work. Yang Dingtian was expressionless. Yanyans face cooled slowly. Yang Dingtian, this is the last time Im going to beg you. If you disagree, I will leave immediately. I will never talk to you again. From then on, I will no longer care about any of your business. Our relationship will end here. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and calmed himself. No, I dont agree. He looked at her deeply and said, Ximen Yanyan, I am very grateful for your selflessness. But, as a couple, I think mutual trust is more precious. After twelve days, I will prove to you that my persistence was right. But, if youre wrong, you will not only ruin yourself but all of us, Yanyan said coldly. She then turned and walked out. Chapter 46: Crazily Practicing Sword! Miracle… Chapter 46: Crazily Practicing Sword! Miracle...Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Before leaving, Yanyan turned back to say, Yang Dingtian, please trust me. All youre seeing is just a fantasy. Youre going to end up just like Yang Yunchong. As your wife, I beg you again. Come back with me and use the safe and guaranteed way, okay? Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and smiled at Yanyan. Im sorry. I think Im right. Yanyans face turned pale. Since you have chosen to believe in a fantasy and not your wife, then from now on, we are only husband and wife in name. Well no longer have any relationship. After saying that, Yanyan staggered and rushed out the door. Yang Dingtian heaved a gasp to calm his emotions. I firmly believe that what I saw was not an illusion. I have chosen the right path, Yang Dingtian muttered to himself word-by-word. Then, he asked in his heart, Master, just now, I was learning swordsmanship on top of a floating platform. Did you see? Dongfang Niemie was silent for a moment before saying, I saw nothing. Yang Dingtians body trembled, his face turning white. But then, his Master added, But, I believe in your choice! I also believe in my choice, Yang Dingtian said. Then he gripped the steel sword in his hand. Xuwu Piaoyan had asked him to practice the swordsmanship ten thousand times. Time was running out. He couldnt delay any longer. He had to begin now. ... When Yang Dingtian exited the Hidden Art Pavilion and went to find a remote and open space to practice, someone barred his way. It was a handsome and tall young man who was leading a group of teenagers. Are you Yang Dingtian, the one who is shooting for the moon and dreaming of becoming the Lord of Cloud Sky City? the young man asked coldly. I am Yang Dingtian. Excuse me, youre blocking my way. I am Tang Jin, the son of Tang Bozhao. Tang Xin, who you insulted yesterday, is my sister. The young man pointed at Yang Dingtian. What can I do for you? Yang Dingtian asked. Tang Jin showed a cruel smile. Nothing, I just wanted to warn you. In the Elimination Battle in thirteen days, I will not only have you banished from Cloud Sky City, but I will also not let you leave Cloud Sky City completely. I will greet you well so that you can see clearly who the real Lord of Cloud Sky City is. Yang Dingtians heart was cold. He looked at Tang Jin deeply. Ive heard your warning. If there is nothing else, Ill take my leave. Then, Yang Dingtian pushed back the two teenagers in front of him and left the Hidden Art Pavilion. Walking to the hanging bridge, Yang Dingtian heard Tang Jins cold threat behind him. Yang Dingtian, I am a One Star Xuan Warrior. In thirteen days, I will let you regret ever coming to Cloud Sky City. Yang Dingtian stopped. A One Star Xuan Warrior was five levels higher than his current goal of Six Star Xuan Martial Artist. Furthermore, it was a difference between realms. It was almost impossible to win such a fight. But, what if the Pig Killing Swordsmanship really was the best in the world? Im counting on you, man. Yang Dingtian raised the sword in his hand and said in his heart, Were beasts that will never change our minds until we meet a dead end. We cant let others down. Brother Tang, should we break his hands and legs now? At this time, a handsome young man on the side suggested making a move. Attack him in Cloud Sky City? Do you want to get yourself killed? Tang Jin said coldly. But outside Cloud Sky City, it is hard to say. I understand, The handsome young man smiled and said. **** In order to prove that his choice was correct, Yang Dingtian barely slept in the following days. Other than eating regularly, he spent all of his time practicing the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. Yanyan never appeared during this time. She did not come to see Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian constantly practiced the Pig Killing Swordsmanship in a remote area behind a mountain. He did not go back to eat and ate only dry food and drank only spring water. Later, he stopped eating altogether. In the beginning, he went back to sleep. After Yanyans maid, Lu Er, locked the door to his room, he decided to stop going back to sleep. When he became extremely tired, he would just sleep on the ground. He practiced his swordsmanship ten thousand times! At first, it took him five minutes to complete one set of the Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword. Ten thousand sets would take him fifty thousand minutes, which was nearly nine hundred hours. In other words, even if he completely stopped sleeping, it would still take him more than a month to reach his goal. It was impossible. Yang Dingtian did not have so much time. No, there must be some way to simplify the Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword. Yang Dingtian desperately examined his memories of the Illusionary Floating Platform, of how Xuwu Piaoyan returned the swordsmanship to the basic step-by-step. Dozens of times. One hundred times. Two hundred times. S?a?ch* Th? N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The whole day passed, and Yang Dingtian had made no progress. The incredibly complicated and gorgeous Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword still took him five minutes to complete. Yang Dingtian stopped and looked up at the night sky. Master, why cant I make any progress? Son, you carry too many burdens. You overexert yourself, Dongfang Niemie explained. Empty yourself first. I will teach you a set of Formless Tactics that will allow you to fully enter the state of emptiness. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath, looked down at the pool, and jumped into it. A cool and refreshing feeling spread all over his body. Yang Dingtian began learning the Formless Tactics under Dongfang Niemies guidance. Then, it was as if a force snatched everything from his mind. Firstly, it took away his unwillingness. Then, it took away his anger. After that, it took away his memories. Finally, even the Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword that he practiced crazily was also taken away. Now, go and practice the swordsmanship. Dont count time. Dont count the number of repetitions. Just practice ... Suddenly, Yang Dingtian jumped out of the water and executed the first sword of the Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword, the Sword of Birth! Master, from now on, I will enter a state of complete emptiness, completely obsessed with practicing the swordsmanship. Wake me up after I have practiced ten thousand times. If it is fewer than ten thousand times, dont wake me up no matter how much time has passed. Forge ahead, disregarding all consequences! He was a beast moving forward crazily. Phew... Yang Dingtian rushed out of the water. The sword in his hand was like the wind. A few hours later, he suddenly began the second sword of Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword. It only took him two minutes to practice nine moves. ... The next day, Yang Dingtian was still practicing the second sword. It also took him two minutes to practice nine moves. On that day, he did not sleep and practiced the swordsmanship seven hundred times. On the third day, he suddenly began the third sword of the Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword. He practiced one set of Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword for only a minute and a half. On this day, he did not sleep or eat and practiced the swordsmanship one thousand times. On the fourth day, there was no further progress. It still took him a minute and a half to practice one set of the Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword. He ended up practicing another one thousand times. By this point, he had practiced the swordsmanship three thousand times. There were still seven thousand repetitions to go. There were fewer than eight days left until the Yin Yang Festival. He did not hunt for any of the Demon Nuclei nor did he find a Yin Yang location for the formation. On the fifth day, he had no improvement. On this day, he was still at the third sword of the Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword. Based on his current speed, the Yin Yang Festival will have passed after he finished practicing ten thousand times. ... At this time, Yang Dingtian has completely entered the state of emptiness. He completely forgot time, forgot everything around him, forgot the upcoming Yin Yang Festival, forgot the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation, and forgot the Elimination Battle in nine days. He had gone sleepless for five days and five nights. Yang Dingtian was ragged. He had long hair and a haggard face, looking like a beggar. Around the third day, someone accidentally discovered Yang Dingtian crazily practicing the swordsmanship. After seeing him practice the Pig Killing Swordsmanship over and over again, the man rushed to Cloud Sky City and spread the word. At the moment, he was on the third sword of the Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword. It did not have a good appearance. The third sword of the Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword that Yang Dingtian practiced gave people the feeling that it was strange. The idiot who wants to be the Lord of the city is crazy. He even regards the Pig Killing Swordsmanship as a treasure. He is practicing over and over again. I dont think hes practiced less than a thousand times. Furthermore, the more he practices, the uglier the practice. More and more people gathered at the back of the mountain to watch Yang Dingtian practice the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. The swordsmanship seemed to become more and more similar to the act of killing pigs. Everyone was laughing their heads off. Yang Dingtian City Lord, your Pig Killing Swordsmanship is so powerful. Im so delighted to see you perform it. Can you be my master? Yang Dingtian had already entered a state of madness at this time, so he was deaf to the ridicule of others. The crowd began to laugh even harder. Later, there were many children who ran over to watch him. They threw clods of dirt at Yang Dingtian. ... However, for Cloud Sky City, Yang Dingtians madness reminded them of a person! They thought of Yang Yunchong, who had amazing talent. After learning the Pig Killing Swordsmanship, he went completely mad. Someone had seen Yang Dingtian enter the unlabeled martial arts secret scroll room. Since the swordsmanship he was practicing was as strange as that of the madman, everyone believed that he had chosen the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. Yang Dingtian was crazy. Then, facing unparalleled pressure, he chose the Pig Killing Swordsmanship and actually went crazy. Everyone in Cloud Sky City sighed for him. Poor man, he would be outstanding anywhere else. Why must he come to Cloud Sky City? Great Elder Yang Yan sneered. Everyone in Cloud Sky City, including everyone within a hundred miles, quickly became aware of one thing. Yang Dingtian was out of his mind! Like Yang Yunchong, he had gone crazy. ... Night fell. Yang Dingtian was still crazily practicing the swordsmanship! After just a few days, his beard had grown more than half a finger in length. and his hair had come to resemble a clump of weeds. It was difficult to see his original appearance. The clothes on his body had been torn to pieces and were covered with dirt just like a beggars. By then, all the people who had come to watch and throw stones at him had gone back to sleep. The moonlight accompanied Yang Dingtian as he crazily practiced the swordsmanship. Phew... Suddenly, Yang Dingtians body changed. Swoosh... The swordsmanship became extremely sharp and fast. Without any warning, he entered the fourth sword of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. It only took thirty seconds to practice the swordsmanship. He could practice one hundred and twenty sets an hour. At this rate, the remaining six thousand times will only take fifty hours. Two days will be sufficient. Two days later, there were less than five days before the total solar eclipse. He needed to hunt for the Five Element Demon Nuclei and find a suitable place for the formation within five days. However, only two hours later..... Without any warning, Yang Dingtian instantly entered the fifth sword of the Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword. After a while, the style of his swordsmanship changed. All the charm, all the grandeur, all the mystery, all disappeared. All the moves instantly became vulgar and direct. At this point, Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword had undergone a qualitative change, directly crossing the dividing line from the Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword to the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. Of course, the highest level of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship was the ninth sword. But, from the fifth sword onwards, it could be called the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. The fifth sword of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship, because the moves were short and direct, only took 12 seconds to execute. Now, every hour, Yang Dingtian could practice a complete set three hundred times. He thought his progress had reached its end. However, he did not expect that, more than three hours later, his swordsmanships style would change again. The swordsmanship became more vulgar, more direct, and faster. It only took 9 seconds to move through the nine steps of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. One hour was now sufficient to practice a set four hundred times. ... A few hours later, the sun rose. Yang Dingtians body was a mess, looking just like a wild man. The steel sword in his hand was damaged, blunt, and notched. His swordsmanship was now extremely ugly and vulgar. Son, you have reached ten thousand times, Dongfang Niemies voice suddenly boomed. Yang Dingtian was shocked and woke instantly. Phew... Suddenly, his wrists were hot. His limbs were hot. His head was hot. His body was hot. Bang... The depths of his Sea of Energy seemed to distend. Bang... Instantly, the Xuan veins in his body blasted out fiercely. His whole body seemed to fly into the air. Throughout his body, as if countless flames were burning, all the Xuan veins as well as his fiery Sea of Energy were desperately and extremely thirsty, eager to devour the Xuan energy in the sky. Yang Dingtian was fully awake. The ten thousand and first repetition! After sobering up, Yang Dingtian used all of his strength and all of his emotions to violently wave the sword. Pig Killing Swordsmanships final repetition! The first move, stab the throat and deplete the blood! The second move, slit open the stomach! The third move, chop off the head! The fourth move, dig out the heart and lungs! The fifth move, eviscerate the stomach! The sixth move, chop off the limbs! The seventh move, cleave into two pieces! The eighth move, strip the flesh from the bones! The ninth move, sheathe the sword! Bang! His sword made a terrific sound, and sparks flew everywhere. With the last sword, Yang Dingtian chopped down violently at a huge rock. Bang... The steel sword in his hand instantly broke. The last repetition. The final move. Phew... Yang Dingtians swordsmanship suddenly entered the seventh sword of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. At the last moment, he had entered the seventh sword. Xuwu Piaoyan had said that he needed to practice a hundred thousand times or even hundreds of thousand times to enter the higher levels of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. However, after just ten thousand and one times, Yang Dingtian managed to enter the seventh round. ... Ah... Yang Dingtian screamed loudly and snarled, I did it. I did it. I am right. All of you are wrong. All of you are crazy! Then, he saw Yanyan, incomparably beautiful Yanyan, her eyes filled with gentleness and concern, slowly walk towards him. Chapter 47: It’s All My Fault Chapter 47: Its All My FaultTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales What a sin! whispered Yanyan, her eyes brimming with tears. Then, she slowly walked to Yang Dingtians side, gently grabbed his broken iron sword, and held his muddy right hand. She said softly, Lets go. Go home with me. Yang Dingtian stopped, his burning red eyes gradually clearing up as he looked at Yanyan. Go home? Oh, okay! ... During this entire period of time, Yanyan had heard countless cold words. City Lord Ximen, the first hero. I didnt expect him to bark at the wrong tree and pick an idiotic madman to be his son-in-law! Its a pity that Ximen Yanyan has to be married to trash. Such a beautiful woman was pushed into the fire pit alive. So what, Miss Ximen cant even look at the trash. Did you know? Miss Ximen is still a virgin. They arent really married. She just cant violate Ximen City Lords last will. Miss Ximen is waiting for a year and a half to pass. After the trash is killed by Ximen Yan, she could marry again. All these words made their way to Ximen Yanyans ears. Some she personally heard, while others were relayed to her by her maid, Lu Er. Although many people dared not say those things to her face, their expressions when looking at her had become very weird. One day, Ximen Ju met her on the road, and asked faintly, Is this the hope you were looking for? Ximen Lie also could not stay in Black Blood Castle. He went to Cloud Sky City to find Ximen Yanyan. Are you going to let him go on like this? At that time, Ximen Yanyan was silent and did not answer. Yang Yan the elder also spoke to her, You still have time to go back on your word. The Northwest Qin family can ignore the scandal of you marrying a madman. If you wish to, Cloud Sky City can announce that you have never married anyone, have never married a madman. Ximen Yanyan still remained silent. ... These people are so hateful. I cant wait to tear their mouths off, Lu Er said angrily. Their words are getting more and more unpleasant. They really have no conscience. If it were not for the City Lord, they would not be so rich and prosperous as they are now. Now, they not only ridicule the madman but even dare laugh at Miss. Their mouths grow bigger, but no one can stop them from speaking, Yanyan said lightly. Lu Er hesitated for a moment. Then, she whispered, Miss, he looks like hes in very bad shape. If you want, Ill go and bring him over. Even four to five-year-old children are bullying him. Yanyan turned her head and said, I have already said that I will never concern myself with his affairs. I spoke humbly and begged him, but he did not listen. This is what he asked for. Of course, Yanyan did not mean it. Somehow, even though Yang Dingtians stubbornness made her extremely angry, it was this same stubbornness that had been indelibly engraved into her heart. So, she finally couldnt help herself. She once again broke her vow and went to find Yang Dingtian again. She was not Dongfang Bingling. Her heart was not so hard. Her mouth was sharp, but her heart was soft. When she saw the wild and beggar-like Yang Dingtian, her heart ached. ****** Therefore, the ragged and messy Yang Dingtian was brought back by Yanyan to her fragrant little building. Back in Yanyans boudoir, she personally filled her fragrant bathtub with hot water and then let Yang Dingtian wash inside. She personally bathed Yang Dingtian. At one point, he said that he wanted to wash himself. She immediately pushed him into the water, not allowing him to speak. Using her jade hands, she cleaned Yang Dingtian. Then, she personally shaved his face. After that, she used a white fox fur toothbrush, dipped it in the most expensive rose-scented fine salt, and scrubbed all of his teeth clean. Next, she used her own lotus essence to wash Yang Dingtians hair. Then, she used the ivory comb to comb his hair neatly. Finally, she personally dressed him in a new robe. A slender and handsome Yang Dingtian appeared in front of her again, but he was much thinner than before. After that, she had a table set and filled with food. Yanyan accompanied Yang Dingtian while he ate, carefully and gently filling his bowl with food. Yang Dingtian was like a whirlwind scattering wisps of clouds. He finished the table full of dishes. After brushing their teeth, the two sat quietly in silence. Yanyan suddenly reached out and touched Yang Dingtians cheek. She softly said, It was my bad. I shouldnt have been angry at that time. I shouldnt have said those cruel words, nor should I have left you alone in the back of the mountain and let them laugh at you. When Yang Dingtian heard those words, he was surprised. But then, he smiled slightly. Yanyan thought he was crazy too. Yanyan came to his side, her soft and tender body in close proximity. She softly said, You are not crazy. You are just too stressed. Its all my fault. Will you forgive me? Yang Dingtians eyes became gentle. You havent done anything wrong. Youve always been the best wife. Instead, my persistence and stubbornness have repeatedly hurt you. So, in front of me, you never have to ask me for forgiveness. In the future, dont try to defend yourself even if you do make a mistake. I will never blame you. Then, he continued sternly, Yanyan, I was not mad during this time. It was a state of emptiness, and there is good news, Yanyan. I have already mastered the seventh sword of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. Soon, I can go on to the next step... S?a??h th? N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian had not finished speaking when Yanyans beautiful eyes shuddered. She showed a worried look, and her small hands directly covered Yang Dingtians mouth. Well, lets talk about it tomorrow, she said. She then led Yang Dingtian to the bed. You sleep first. You havent slept in a long time, so sleep well first. Anything else we can discuss after you wake up. Yang Dingtian said with a rueful smile, Yanyan, what I said was true... Before he finished speaking, Yanyan again covered his mouth. Today, we will not discuss serious matters. We will only talk about matters of love between men and women today. Then, Yanyans beautiful eyes became soft, rippling like water. Yang Dingtian, weve been married for a long time already, but I have never fulfilled the obligations of a wife. Shall I be your real wife today? Yang Dingtians body immediately trembled and was about to start speaking. Want to say a bunch of words to capture my heart first and only after, get my body? Yanyan groaned. Then, you dont have to say anything. She took off his coat and let him lie on her fragrant bed. Yanyans face was slightly red. She clenched her jade teeth and started to take off her clothes. Yang Dingtian was horrified. She took her clothes off, leaving only a thin and translucent petticoat. Underneath the petticoat, there was only a pink apron and pink silk panties. Her snow-white plump body underneath the lively, fragrant, and translucent petticoat was exposed to Yang Dingtian, exuding incomparable temptation. Then, Yanyan climbed into bed as well. You? Yang Dingtians heart jumped wildly. His nose was filled with a fascinating scent. It was Yanyans intense, intoxicating, and altogether unique fragrance. Were a couple. Of course, we sleep in the same bed. Yanyan pretended to be speaking naturally, but her almost trembling tone betrayed her. Then, her smooth and tender fragrant body lay beside Yang Dingtian, covered with a thin and fluffy quilt. At the moment, the two of them were in one bed. Yanyan, you dont have to be like this, Yang Dingtian said, breathing a little heavily. Yanyan shifted her delicate body over. Her beautiful eyes stared at Yang Dingtian. We have been husband and wife for several months now, but we keep our distance all the time. Dont you want to be close to me? Why wouldnt I? You have the most beautiful face and the most beautiful body in the world. You are much more lovable than Dongfang Bingling. But, the burden of responsibility is overwhelming, isnt it? Yanyan asked. You like me very much, but you marrying me was entirely due to my fathers final will. Because you feel that I do not love you, because of self-esteem and because of pity, you wont touch me until I have fallen in love with you. And I married you only because of my fathers final will. I was unwilling in my heart, but I dont disobey my fathers orders, so I pretended to give myself to you selflessly. In fact, my heart completely rejected you, keeping you thousands of miles away. Thus, weve been married for months and weve never been close to each other. Were like familiar strangers. Its like theres a thick slab of ice between us. But Ive all forgotten all that. Time will create love. A man and a woman sleeping under the same quilt every day will develop affection towards each other. I used to pretend to be generous and willing to fulfill my duties as a wife, but I still found various reasons to keep this kind of closeness from happening. From now on, I am longer looking for any excuses. We are husband and wife, so we should sleep together. Yanyans warm and silky-smooth body gradually moved closer. Her fragrant breath gushed onto Yang Dingtians face. She said softly, Husband, we are a couple, and I am a chaste woman. I will never remarry. Our being husband and wife was destined. Therefore, lets throw away the overwhelmingly heavy responsibility that suffocates us, throw away our poor self-esteem, and learn to love each other in the purest way, okay? There are all enemies around us, so we have to love and rely on each other. Only when we embrace each other will we feel warm and be able to lean on each other. Lets get along well, shall we? Yang Dingtian was breathing hard. His shoulders were shaking as if trying to shake the weight from his body. He replied, Alright! Thats right. Yanyan also trembled. I have said it already. Now, I dont want to say it again. To get a womans heart, you need to first enter her lower body......Now, hug me. Kiss me! ****** PS: I do not think that Yanyan went back on her word. She is just such a person. When she is angry, she cant control her mouth. However, she cannot control her own heart either. She is such a kind and unruly woman, firm in speech but soft in heart. Chapter 48: Wait For Me to Return Chapter 48: Wait For Me to ReturnTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian moved his hands gently, slowly hugging Yanyans curvy and hot body in his arms. Her body really was like a soft jade, full and smooth, full of firepower and elasticity. It really was the sexiest, most attractive body in the world. In the dark, Yanyan slowly closed her eyes and waited for Yang Dingtians kiss. She slightly puckered her small lips. They were extremely moist and burned like flames, stirring ones desire to kiss them. Like a juicy strawberry, their apparent sweetness tempted ones desire to taste them. Yang Dingtians lips slowly approached Yanyans. Her hot and curvy body turned a little stiff. Her eyelashes began to tremble more and more. Yang Dingtian stopped momentarily and then moved up to gently kiss Yanyans eyes, the middle of her brows, and finally, her forehead. Then, they were silent. After a long time, Yanyan opened her eyes. Next time, kiss my lips, all right? S?a??h th? N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian nodded. My virginity is still useful, so I wont be able to give it to you tonight. But, we can do anything else. Yanyan was shaking and shivering. Other things? What other things? Although I have never been with a man, I know quite a few things. If you want to, I-I can use other methods to satisfy you. When Yanyan uttered those last words, her voice had already become extremely small. She then exhaled, and the atmosphere became extremely hot. Yang Dingtian laughed for a while. You dont have to. Im already very satisfied with being able to sleep in this nice fragrant room. Well, at least hug me to sleep... Yanyan whispered. Yang Dingtians hands used a small amount of force to hold her plump and delicate body in his arms. He placed his hands on her smooth waist. Below was the sharp swelling of her round buttocks. They were like a full moon, round and upturned. They were full of fatal temptations, but Yang Dingtian endured and didnt slip his hands down any further. And, to be honest, at this time, there wasnt much fiery desire in his heart, only infinite gentleness. Lets sleep..., Yang Dian Tian murmured softly. Hmmm! Yanyans snuggled her warm delicate body against Yang Dingtian, wrapped her arms around his waist, and buried her beautiful face in his arms. ... Yang Dingtian had already lost count of the number of days and nights that he had stayed awake. Even so, the number of hours he ended up sleeping wasnt as large as he thought. He woke up immediately when the sun rose. At this time, Yanyan was no longer in his arms but on the other side of the bed. Her full and seductive body was all curled up, looking completely insecure. Although she came to comfort Yang Dingtian last night, her own heart was extremely fragile and filled with pain. Yang Dingtian just stared at her exquisite face. Even though she was sleeping, her body kept flipping around as if she was having a bad dream. Then, tears began to fall from her eyes. Yang Dingtians heart was pained, and he gently sighed. In fact, he knew in his heart that the relationship between the two of them was not deep enough to share the same bed. However, in order to soothe his trauma, this foolish Yanyan wronged herself by initiating intimate contact with him. She was so naturally proud that it will be difficult for him to truly enter her heart. Yang Dingtian gently covered her with the quilt even though he knew that she wasnt cold. ... Yang Dingtian woke up again. It was already noon this time, so he got up from the bed. At the edge of the bed, there was a bowl of water, rose oil, and a wool towel soaking in the water. Beside it, there were a toothbrush made of fox fur and some snow-like white salt. After Yang Dingtian washed up, he put on his robe. The door was opened, Yanyan and Lu Er came in with the dishes. They placed them on the table, one plate after another. Yanyan carried a bottle of wine in her hands. After setting the tableware, Lu Er left. Before leaving, she gave Yang Dingtian a fierce glare full of dissatisfaction. I made all these dishes. Try them, Yanyan said. I learned cooking when I was a child, but I havent cooked in a long time. Dont laugh at me if it doesnt taste good. Yang Ding smiled, sat down, and put a piece of food in his mouth. The taste was surprisingly good. I had already managed my expectations. Even if it had not been delicious, I would have acted like it was to be nice, Yang Dingtian said. But, it actually is very tasty, so you cost me the chance to act. Yanyan rolled her eyes. I didnt do it very well. It was Lu Er who helped me cook, so I dont need you to say good words to cheer me up. Yang Dingtian ate another piece and laughed. In fact, I would like to say more. Even if the food you cooked wasnt good, after I place it in my mouth, it will become the most delicious food on earth. Yang Dingtian seriously affirmed, It is true. Yanyan sat down next to Yang Dingtian. You have a sweet mouth. If Dongfang Bingling had heard your sweet talk, she might not have tried to kill you. Her? Yang Dingtian said. Her heart is filled with something else, so it cant hold anything else, let alone sweet talk. Then, try guessing if I like sweet talk, Yanyan said. You like it, Yang Dingtian replied. Yanyan shook her head hard. When I listen to sweet talk, my bones become stuffed, and I get goosebumps. Yang Dingtian instantly showed a confused expression. Yanyan explained, But because I react in this way, it makes me want to listen more. On one hand, its too sweet, causing me to want to throw out. On the other hand, I still like the feeling. Its really disgusting! How can you be disgusting? Yang Dingtian asked. Your entire body from head to toe smells so good. Youre so attractive that even if someone were to spit on you, you would still smell good... Stop saying stuff like that. Stop talking like that. Its so disgusting. Youre a psychopath..... Yanyan immediately covered Yang Dingtians mouth and made a nauseous face. She then started wiping away the goosebumps on her arms. You see? You see? If you say any more, even my hair would stand up! Yang Dingtian ignored her and continued his sweet talk. Using what he learned from the Internet back on Earth, he could easily recall tons of this kind of superheavy sweet talk. Measured by the social standards here, some of those words even reached the point of perversion. Yanyan struggled and covered her ears. Stop talking. Stop talking. Youre a hooligan, a pervert! There really were many goosebumps on her arms. Finally, she stood up and was about to escape from the room to avoid Yang Dingtians superheavy sweet talk. Fine. Fine. Ill stop. Yang Dingtian hurried forward and pulled her wrist. Are you sure you wont say anymore? Yanyan flicked him. Why didnt I realize that you were so despicable before? You released the real me last night, he replied. There is nothing wrong with Dongfang Bingling. A pervert like you should be killed with a sword. Yanyan returned to her seat while desperately rubbing her arms. However, her exotic face betrayed her with its red color. The more she felt so sweet that she was about to vomit, the more she chased that feeling. She hated it, but still wanted to hear it! This kind of contradictory psychological condition is common to many girls, even Yanyan. ... After Yang Dingtian stopped with his sweet talk, the two of them fell into a moment of silence. Suddenly, Yanyan pulled out a box and opened it in front of Yang Dingtian. Inside, there was a purple-red potion contained in a bottle measuring roughly an inch in diameter. It was surrounded by an enchanting luster containing powerful energy. Then, Yanyan inadvertently acted weak. This is the Xuan Dissociation Pill. After eating it, you will be able to learn the Chaotic Heaven Destroyer Swordsmanship again. Then, using the Yin Yang Xuan Devouring Arts, we will still have a chance, my husband. After saying that, she looked at Yang Dingtian, filled with anxiety and tension. It has finally come... Yang Dingtian sighed in his heart. From yesterday until now, Yanyan had been wronging herself just for this moment. She was just like everyone else, believing that Yang Dingtian had gone insane like Yang Yunchong. That was why she was trying so hard to save him. The atmosphere had suddenly become serious. Yang Dingtian did not lose his temper. Instead, he smiled and asked, Where did you get such a valuable potion from? I borrowed it from someone, Yanyan said. You borrowed it from who? Yang Dingtian asked. You dont have to care about that, Yanyan replied. From my grandfather. Yang Yan? Although he was Yanyans grandfather, he was already no different from an enemy! Why would he even give such a precious potion to Yanyan? Yang Dingtians gaze swept over Yanyans body. Where is your precious sword? Where did it go? Yanyan looked away. I exchanged it. You exchanged it for this Xuan Dissociation Pill? Yang Dingtian asked. Yanyan remained silent. Yang Dingtian got so furious in his heart. Yang Yan, that asshole! This Xuan Dissociation Pill is very valuable, but compared to Yanyans precious sword, it was nothing. Yanyans precious sword was called Feng Yan. It is a masterpiece that Ximen Wuya obtained. It was an extremely rare magic weapon passed down from ancient times. The preciousness of this sword was not due to its sharpness or its tenacity. It was not even because it was extremely powerful and mysterious. It was because the sword itself contained a dormant, extremely powerful martial soul. As long as Yanyan was able to reach a certain level of cultivation, she would be able to interact with this precious sword, which meant that one day, she would be able to summon this martial soul. At that time, she would have two combat martial souls. Ximen Wuya had gone through a lot of hardship to obtain such a sword. On Yanyans 14th birthday, he had given it to her. It was clear that Ximen Wuya loved his daughter very much. It could be said that even if the Feng Yan precious sword was used to exchange for 100 Xuan Dissociation Pills, it would still be a loss. That was because these two items were totally different. But, Yang Yan elder turned out to be so shameless and exchanged it for only one Xuan Dissociation Pill. That is the sword that Uncle Ximen gave you. It is an extremely rare weapon! Yang Dingtian said. Yanyan reluctantly whispered, So what? Only he has this Xuan Dissociation Pill, and this Feng Yan wont be of any use in my hands. I couldnt give it to you either. I might as well use it to exchange for something useful. Yang Dingtian raised his eyebrows and struggled to not lose his temper. Although the person that he was angry with was Yang Yan, facing this adorable and pitiful girl, he could no longer adopt a bad attitude. But, you still need to say what you need to say. Yang Dingtian revealed a gentle smile. Yanyan, I really cant use words to express my gratitude for everything that youve done for me. Im willing to do anything just to make you happy and make you smile. But, I really cant eat this Xuan Dissociation Pill. Yanyan trembled, and her beautiful face instantly turned pale. She let out a cold laugh and said, Could it be that you want me to feed you with my mouth? Yanyan, I will not change my path to learn the Chaotic Heaven Destroyer Swordsmanship. The Pig Killing Swordsmanship will not disappoint you, and I will not let you down. Rest assured ..... Yang Dingtian smiled. And, I have decided that if I dont manage to become a Six Star Xuan Martial Artist within ten days, I will definitely not come back and see you, my dear wife. Yang Dingtians smiling face didnt seem to work. Yanyans tears dribbled down. She did not say anything harsh but cried silently. Tears continued to fall like pearls. Her eyes were filled with despair. Daddy, is this the husband you chose for me? Is this the happiness you chose for me? What should I do? Yanyan sobbed silently. Yang Dingtian walked forward and wiped the tears off Yanyans face. Last night, you slept with me to warm my heart. Im so sorry for making it hard for you. I know that you were not willing deep down, because when I woke up this morning, I saw you crying, Yang Dingtian said. Yanyan just stood there and cried silently. Yang Dingtian continued, I dont know how to make you happy, but I will work hard to protect you. Even if I completely exhaust myself. Even if I need to sacrifice everything. I will go hunt for beasts. Im already running out of time and have fewer than six days left. Wait for me to come back. I will prove to you that my persistence is correct. I will eventually have the power to protect you. Yang Dingtian tried to smile as he left Yanyans room. Chapter 49: The Beast Language Master, Ximen Ningning Chapter 49: The Beast Language Master, Ximen NingningTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales After Yang Dingtian left, Yanyan looked into the sky outside the window and said, Daddy, Ive tried my best. Then, her gaze focused on the Xuan Dissociation Pill in her hand. This was the thing that she exchanged for her Feng Yan Sword. She clenched her teeth, and her small hands suddenly contracted into a tight fist. Instantly, the precious Xuan Dissociation Pill was crushed. Tons of light shot out of the remains. Then, the entire potion vanished bit by bit until there was nothing left in her hand. ****** There were fewer than six days left until the Yin Yang Festival. Before then, Yang Dingtian had to personally kill five types of beasts. Then, he had to find a location where Yin and Yang would merge to set up a formation. The five types of beasts were: fire, wind, gold, ice, and electric! There were tons of fire and gold type beasts near Cloud Sky City. As for the wind type, it was very rare. But, even rarer were ice type beasts due to the fact that this entire Northwest Mainland floated over magma. It was an absolutely fire-natured continent. There were absolutely no habitats for ice-type beasts. As for the electric type, it was absolutely rare even across the entire world because all electric beasts were half energy. As such, killing an electric-type beast was the hardest task. He would start killing from the easiest and handle the hardest ones later. He would go after fire and gold creatures first. Both of these creatures could be found within a hundred miles of Cloud Sky City. Furthermore, the area was still Cloud Sky Citys territory, which made it safe. But, there was one problem! In order to hunt for creatures within this hundred miles, he needed to ride a flying creature. The reason was that there were deep magma veins along the way that made it impossible to travel on horseback. On top of that, he must prepare many medicines and potions. However, Yang Dingtian did not have any of those, and he surely cant go back to find Yanyan. It was true that the two of them had not said anything harsh just now, and Yang Dingtian had treated Yanyan gently and lovingly from his heart. However, before he managed to break through, he cant go looking for Yanyan as she would just be extremely disappointed with him. According to normal procedures, he was supposed to find Tang Xin because she was the Primary Martial Tutor. She was the one in charge of bringing low cultivation disciples out into the field. The other option was finding Ximen Ju because he managed the entire Cloud Sky City. However, Yang Dingtian would only be humiliated if he went to them. In Cloud Sky City, it could be said that Yang Dingtian was unaccompanied and helpless to the extent that he might not even be able to go hunting in the field. Then, there was only one person left who Yang Dingtian could find: Ximen Ningning. Thats right. She was the gentle and virtuous sister that Yanyan had talked about. Yanyan had wanted her to marry Yang Dingtian as well. She was Ximen Wuyas only adopted daughter. Ximen Ningnings position in Cloud Sky City was very special and almost irreplaceable. This was because she was a genius who spoke the language of the beasts. Whoever masters the beast language was capable of understanding beasts, controlling them, summoning them, as well as interacting with them. The people who can master the beast language were extremely rare. They might not even number one in ten thousand. As a result, their positions in the chaotic mainland were extremely high and were treasured by every faction. Ximen Ningning was a genius even among those who could master the beast language. Therefore, her position in Cloud Sky City was fairly high. Any party who wanted to expand their power would have to please her. If it hadnt been for her cold character and poor communication skills, she would have been one of the nine elders in Cloud Sky City. But even so, she is also serving as one of the honorary elders. It was just that she never cared about Cloud Sky City matters and basically just stayed in her valley without ever stepping out. She merely took care of Cloud Sky Citys combat and transport beasts. Originally, Yang Dingtian had thought that getting her help was the optimal choice. Not only would she lend Yang Dingtian a flying creature to carry him, but she would also know about all creatures within a thousand miles of the city. If he wanted to hunt creatures, she was the best person to find. However, Ximen Yanyan had once said that she wanted to make Ximen Ningning Yang Dingtians second wife. Thus, he felt a little embarrassed to find her. Moreover, he heard that this girl was an extreme introvert and almost never interacted with people. Yang Dingtian thought that it would be a challenge even for him. But, Yang Dingtian had no other alternative. If he didnt go find Ximen Ningning to borrow a flying creature, he would not be able to go hunting in the wilds. Im a man with very thick skin. Whats there to be embarrassed about? Yang Dingtian clenched his teeth and decided to go find Ximen Ningning. Ximen Ningning lived in the quietest and most secluded part of Cloud Sky City, a small valley. A few hundred meters before reaching the valley, he felt a quiet atmosphere and could not see a single human being. Only a few people were allowed entrance into this place. As he entered the valley, Yang Dingtian immediately felt a dangerous atmosphere. Oh... Immediately, two white shadows rushed in front of Yang Dingtian like lightning. It was two lions, each about one meter long. One had a snow-white body, while the other was fiery red. They each had a pair of sharp wings, looked extremely beautiful and mighty, and was marked with six stripes on its forehead, labeling them as rank six creatures. Sixth-ranked creatures were the elites among the beasts. One could only imagine how many years it took to cultivate one and how many lives it needed to kill! At the very least, there are not many in Cloud Sky City who were capable of fighting these lions. But, such strong creatures were kept by Ximen Ningning to guard the entrance. It was obvious that Ximen Ningning was extremely powerful. Yang Dingtian clearly felt the powerful strength of these two lions. At his current level, they would only need seconds to kill him in a fight. After they rushed in front of Yang Dingtian, they did not bite him but rather, stared at him coldly and arrogantly. S?a??h the N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. It was true that even though they were beasts, they knew that they were strong. When facing someone weak like Yang Dingtian, they looked down on him. They used their eyes to warn Yang Dingtian to back off and leave. Otherwise, they will not tolerate him any longer. I want to see your master. Yang Dingtian didnt back off. He didnt know if these two creatures would understand, but he said it anyway. Hongg.... One of the white lions roared. A blue light shot out of its mouth and struck a huge rock beside Yang Dingtian. Instantly, Yang Dingtian felt a bit of coldness in his bones, and the surrounding ground within dozens of meters turned into ice. That huge rock that probably weighed ten thousand kilograms was also frozen, covered with a layer of blue ice. Hongg... The other lion roared and spat out a bunch of flames, which also struck that huge frozen rock. Crakk.. Instantly, the huge rock shattered into pieces, and all the plants within dozens of meters were all burnt into ashes. Yang Dingtian sucked in a cold breath. Sixth-ranked creatures were actually this strong. That ten thousand kilogram rock was easily destroyed by them. If they attacked Yang Dingtian, then.... The young lady is not in the mood today. Shes not seeing anyone. Please leave. A voice could be heard from the valley. It was cold but gentle like a stream. However, it rejected him with determination. I am Yang Dingtian, here to greet Ms. Ximen Ningning Ahh.... Yang Dingtian heard a soft scream, which sounded like the owner was panicking. After a while, a voice could be heard from the inside. Then... then come in... The two lions stared at Yang Dingtian one more time. They then gave him a warning glare and disappeared into the bushes, opening the path for him. Yang Dingtian entered the valley. It was a place filled with Cloud Sky City blossoms. There were small creatures, strong creatures, and normal animals everywhere. Yang Dingtian was so fascinated that he didnt even blink. On the left side of the grassland, there was a beautiful white fox looking at him. On the right side was a tree, on which a squirrel was fighting a red mink for a fruit. When he looked closely, the red mint was a rank five creature, while the squirrel was only a normal squirrel. The red mink just had to spit out a mouthful of gas and the squirrel would be dead, but it still used its claws to fight for the fruit. Yang Dingtian felt an extremely comfortable atmosphere in this place. In here, weak animals can actually live with strong creatures, even though strong creatures were typically extremely cruel and violent. Suddenly, Yang Dingtian heard a loud, painful scream. Then, a monkey ran out to the road with its entire body wrapped up by a big snake. The snake similarly had five line marks. It was four to five meter long and opened its big mouth to swallow the pitiful monkey. This snake was rank five creature, while the monkey was only a normal monkey. Yang Dingtian was shocked and instinctively drew his sword to save the monkey. Surprisingly, just as the snake was about to bite down, the monkey used both hands to hold the snakes mouth open. It then escaped from the snakes grip and hopped on its back. Then, both snake and monkey showed Yang Dingtian a mocking face before disappearing into the grass. They were actually playing, Yang Dingtian realized. ... Is there anything that made you come find me? Suddenly, a gentle and cold voice could be heard. Her voice sounded as if she had no contact with the outside world. It was like she was uneasily talking to a stranger. Yang Dingtian raised his head and saw a lady standing under a tree not far away. His eyes were attracted to her curvy and delicate body figure as it was extremely attractive. This was almost the most perfect body shape that Yang Dingtian has ever seen, comparable with Dongfang Binglings figure. Whether it was her bust line or her waistline, they were all in perfect proportions. Yang Dingtian was so attracted to her body that he forgot to look at her face. He raised his head and saw her face. Her gaze was like water. Her brows were like mountains. Her hair was extremely black, and her skin was fairly white. However, this face would not be considered the prettiest. It was just elegant. It was very soft as if formed by wind and water. It was another kind of beauty, another type of attraction. Yang Dingtian looked at her for only a moment. She had a very uneasy expression. Her cheek was all reddish. Actually, Yang Dingtian also felt uneasy because Yanyan had mentioned too many times that she wanted Ximen Ningning to also marry him. Afterwards, they would use the Yin Yang Xuan Absorbing Arts to pass her Xuan energy to him. I came to seek your help. I need to go into the wilds to hunt for creatures.... Chapter 50: Rare Treasure Chapter 50: Rare TreasureTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Oh, please come in. Ximen Ningning walked towards the room in front to avoid facing Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian followed behind her. Again, it was unavoidable for Yang Dingtian to see her waist and hip curves. They looked like a wonderful willow shaking in the spring breeze. Although Yang Dingtian had tried his best to avoid staring, the leading Ximen Ningning was becoming more and more awkward. Even though she was not facing Yang Dingtian, her face was turning redder and redder. She was only able to keep her head low, looking at her feet. Ximen Ningnings journey felt long even though it was only a few meters. The place where she stayed was a small attic without any paintings or other decorations. It was quite simple but did not lack exquisiteness. After entering the attic, it could be seen that the interior was simple but very comfortable. There was completely nothing made of metal. Everything was made of wood, ceramics, or cotton. Yang Dingtian noticed that the clothes she wore were made of soft cotton cloth and not silk brocades. They used no dyes and only had its natural white cyan. The clothes made her body figure look more charming. She had Yang Dingtian sit and started to make him tea. Ximen Ningning then sat off on the side. Both of them remained silent and just continued to sit quietly. It seemed like talking to a stranger was a big challenge for her. Yang Dingtian wasnt in a hurry to talk. He was observing the room carefully. Ximen Ningning was said to have embroidered even her innerwear all by herself. Her ingenuity was apparent. Of course, she made most of the things in this house with her own hands. The wooden cup Yang Dingtian was holding was not gorgeous and had no decorative carvings. However, its curvature was just perfect, and it felt very comfortable when held. Similar to her body curves, every inch of the each of the cups arcs was perfect. Besides the teacup, the other things in the house also all gave one a sense of natural beauty. At the moment, an unfinished robe hanged next to her. It appeared to be a brocade robe designed for a man. When she saw Yang Dingtians eyes focus on the robe, Ximen Ningnings face immediately turned red, and she quickly hid the robe. Yang Dingtian was a bit surprised. A woman like Ximen Ningning was actually sewing a robe for a man. Whoever it was must have a very close relationship with her. Did this pretty woman already have a lover? This, this is your clothing. Yanyan had me make it, Ximen Ningning explained in a low voice. Yang Dingtian was stunned for a moment. I dont think she will ever get you to make them for me again. Why? Ximen Ningning was surprised. Because I dont listen to her. She wont care about me anymore, Yang Dingtian replied. Ximen Ningning frowned, her eyes full of worry. Theres nothing that cannot be resolved between husband and wife. How can you say something like that? Is it because you werent willing to take the Xuan Dissociation Pill and start learning the Chaotic Heaven Destroyer Swordsmanship? Yang Dingtian was surprised. How do you know? Yanyan tells me everything, Ximen Ningning said, her face turning red again. Her delicate face didnt seem capable of hiding any secret. Yang Dingtian could almost confirm that Ximen Yanyan had already told her that he would take Ximen Ningning as his second wife. Then, what was her attitude when she talked about me? Was it good? Yang Dingtian asked. Ximen Ningning didnt answer but seemed conflicted. She didnt want to lie but also didnt want to tell the truth. Yang Dingtian already knew the answer. His heart felt slightly uncomfortable. Yanyan and Ximen Ningning talked about everything. They shared all of their true feelings. I know she feels wronged by fate, Yang Dingtian said with a forced smile. Ximen Ningning fell into silence and didnt know what to say to comfort him. Actually... After hesitating for a while, Ximen Ningning said, To be honest, the conflict between you and Yanyan, Im on your side. People should have stick to their own choices. Once they choose, they should just persist. Either you succeed or... Yang Dingtian was slightly stunned and then nodded. Thank you for understanding. I can listen to her in other things, but regarding this matter, I will only listen to myself. Ximen Ningning bowed her head. If it were me, I would have made the same choice. Yang Dingtian immediately gained some confidence. Then, they were quiet again. Nobody spoke. Ximen Ningning would never take the initiative to talk if Yang Dingtian didnt. ... Yang Dingtian decided to go first. I need to go hunt for demon nuclei in the wilderness a few hundred miles away. Can you lend me a flying beast? Since theres a magma abyss blocking my way, I wont be able to go on horseback. It will be even better if you can provide me with some healing medicines. Are you going to practice in the wilderness? By yourself? Ximen Ningning asked. Yang Dingtian nodded. Of course, I can give you what you want. However, practicing in the wilderness is very dangerous. You might even lose your life if you go alone. I have some demon nuclei with me if you need them. It will only be work if I get them on my own, Yang Dingtian explained. Ximen Ningning wanted to say something but ended not finding the words. She nodded. Wait a second. Then, she walked into her room. A few minutes later, she returned with a box. A fragrant smell wafted out when she opened it. The red pill is a Full Restoration Pill. In case youre injured, you should be fine after taking it. The purple pill is an Energy Recovery Pill. Its for restoring energy, Ximen Ningning explained. Yang Dingtian was shocked. This is too wasteful! I only need pills of the first rank. All these fifth rank pills are just going to be wasted on me. Thats right, all of these fifth rank Full Restoration Pills were typically taken by Xuan Martial Artist or Grandmaster level experts after being seriously injured. They were very precious and could even be exchanged for lives. They could sell for at least ten thousand gold coins on the market. Yang Dingtian was just going to kill some weak minor monster. It simply wasnt worth using fifth rank pills. Ximen Ningning had even given him three. For Energy Recovery Pills, their value was even greater. They were classified as fifth rank superior class pills. When Xuan Martial Artists or Grandmaster level experts released Xuan skills and ran out of Xuan energy, if they took this Energy Recovery Pill, they would be able to fill their Sea of Energy and continue fighting almost immediately. Therefore, the value of an Energy Recovery Pill was far more than that of a Full Restoration Pill. It could be said that Energy Recovery Pills were one of the most important high-level strategic materials. Yang Dingtian currently had almost no Xuan energy, and Ximen Ningning was giving all of them to him. Its, its better to have it on you, Ximen Ningning insisted. Moreover, these were all concocted by me. Youre even a pharmacist? Yang Dingtian asked. I know we have another pharmacist in Cloud Sky City. I did it on my own, she replied. Yang Dingtian was once again shocked. She was able to concoct a fifth rank superior class pill on her own. This talent was insane! But my answer is still no. Its too wasteful. These pills are so precious, Yang Dingtian said. Cant you just replace them with pills of the first rank? S?a?ch* Th? Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Ximen Ningnings face was filled with anxiety. She spoke softly, But, I dont want to replace them. Can you please keep them? Again, Yang Dingtian was shocked because this was the first time he encountered someone who was desperately trying to giving these precious pills away. She even used a pleading tone. Alright, he replied. Then, they fell silent again. After gathering her courage, Ximen Ningning said, You really should not go because beasts are very powerful. Even the lowest level beast needs at least two to three novices working together to kill it. Youre just an enlightener. You really, really cannot kill them. You will be killed instead. Thats right, even a First Rank Xuan Beast needed at least three five-star Novices to kill it. Therefore, each time Cloud Sky City disciples went to the wilderness to practice, they would be led by a few stronger tutors. Even though at least dozens of people would go together, there would still be casualties. Yang Dingtian said, I know it is very dangerous, but I have to personally collect demon nuclei of five different elements within six days. I have no choice. Ximen Ningning was surprised. That is impossible. Its still fine for fire or wind-type beasts. Gold-type beasts all live together in groups. Also, they live in crypts. Even Xuan Martial Artists dont dare go alone. For ice-type beasts, the nearest one is more than ten thousand miles away from here. Of course, these are not even the most difficult to kill. The most difficult is an electric-type beast, which is nearly impossible for you to find. Furthermore, even a Grandmaster expert couldnt kill one. Yang Dingtian wondered, Is getting an electric-type demon nucleus that hard? To be honest, its much harder than you think... Im a beast language savant and Ive seen countless beasts. However, Ive never seen an electric beast in my life. Electric-type beasts are very rare. Ahhh... Yang Dingtian was shocked. Then, where do electric-type beasts appear? The sea abyss that is ten thousand miles away, or the dark cracks on the edge of the continent. However, these two places are not easy to get close to even for a Grandmaster expert, Ximen Ningning answered. Thus, any electric-type beast is considered a rare treasure. If one appeared, everyone would wildly fight for it. Thats right, if a weak electric-type beast was caught, it would be cultivated for decades or even centuries. Once it grew strong enough, it would be concocted into a martial soul, empowering the warrior with an electric-type Xuan skill. Among all Xuan skills, an electric-type Xuan skill could almost be considered a BUG because it would be able to ignore almost all defenses. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath. It seemed that hunting for the five demon nuclei was much more difficult than he expected. What was worse, he only had six days. But, I dont have a choice, Yang Dingtian lamented. I can fail, but I can never give up halfway just because it looks impossible. Lets start with the easiest ones. Ill go for fire-type and wind-type nuclei first. Ximen Ningning said, But, with your strength right now, its very difficult for you to kill them. You wont even be able to penetrate their outer skin. Furthermore, they are born with Xuan skills. Even if they blow off steam, it will be enough to severely injure you. Then, I shall pierce their eyes and mouths, Yang Dingtian answered. Ive confidence in my swordsmanship, and I promise Ill only kill one of each. Ximen Ningning bitterly bit her lips. Must you go? Maybe I can go with you? Yang Dingtian shook his head. No way, it can only be done by me alone. Otherwise, other people will leave their imprints on the demon nuclei, rendering them utterly useless to me. But, if you were to die, Yanyan will blame me. Also, youre carrying all of foster fathers hopes, Ximen Ningning said. Ill be extra careful, Yang Dingtian replied firmly. If I really cant even kill the lowest level beast, then I will leave Cloud Sky City immediately. After Ximen Ningning struggled for a while, she bit her lips again. Alright, wait a bit. She then turned and walked towards her room, slowly taking off her clothes as she did. Yang Dingtian was confused. What else did she want to give him? Why did she need to take off her clothes? After a few minutes, Ximen Ningning left her room. There was some super thin clothing in her hands. Furthermore, the dress she was wearing was somewhat wrinkled and looked a little messy. It can be deduced that this super-thin clothing had just been removed from her body. She was wearing it just moments ago. This is Deep Sea Xuan Clothes, the last layer of skin that Nagas shed after becoming human. It is very soft but sturdy. The beasts wont be able to hurt your upper body once you put it on. You should put it on before you go hunt the beasts. Ahhh... Yang Dingtian was completely shocked. Deep Sea Xuan Clothes? The skin shed by the Naga? This was considered an incomparably precious treasure in the world! The Naga were the most mysterious and powerful species in the world. Everyone in the world knew of their legends, but no one in the past millennium had ever seen one. What surprised Yang Dingtian the most was that Ximen Ningning actually had Deep Sea Xuan Clothes. Who was she? The most important question was why she would lend such a precious treasure to Yang Dingtian? They had only just met! Chapter 51: The Red Wilderness Chapter 51: The Red WildernessTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Dont ask me where the Nagas Deep Sea Xuan clothes came from and dont ask me why Im lending it to you, okay? Ximen Ningning said. Also, dont let others you have the Deep Sea Xuan Clothes on you, Ningning cautioned. Yang Dingtian nodded, but he was still in great shock. The Naga were the ultimate secret in this world! For the past several thousand years, countless people have yearned for them, but no one ended up finding them. Yang Dingtian had read the relevant records and materials. Dragons were the supreme guardians of the entire Chaotic Mainland. They were also known as Dragon Titans. In all the records, even ones from ancient times, dragons had already vanished. There were only species that were closely related to dragons left. But, species closely related to dragons were all already extremely strong. The Naga were creatures that were the most closely related to dragons. After all, they were the descendants of dragons and sea snakes. Before they evolved into human form, they looked like a snake-dragon hybrid. They looked pretentious, horrible, domineering, and cold-blooded. In short, the Naga could be called the most powerful species in the world. More than ten thousand years ago, Xuwu Piaoyan had wanted to save the world. The first people he looked to cooperate with were the Naga. However, Yang Dingtian didnt know if he managed to find them. This secret would only be revealed to him once he reached the second stage of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. ****** This is skin shed by a female Naga, so it might be a very tight fit for you. You have to take your shirt off first so I can help you to put it on. Only clothes right? What about pants? Yang Dingtian asked. For him, taking off his shirt was already his limit because he did not want to take off his pants in front of her. They are pants, but Im wearing them. I cant take them off, Ximen Ningning said in a low voice, her face already red like blood. He had no choice but to take off his clothes. With Ximen Ningnings help, they dressed him in the Deep Sea Xuan Clothes inch-by-inch with great difficulty. Ximen Ningning probably had never touched a man, nor had she ever seen a mans naked body. As such, her whole face was exactly like a red cloth. She kept panting and exhaling on Yang Dingtians chest. Yang Dingtian could almost hear the sound of her heartbeat. Of course, Yang Dingtian felt similarly because, after all, a womans slim hands kept touching his naked body. ... After putting on the Deep Sea Xuan Clothes, Yang Dingtian could barely feel its existence. It felt like just another layer of his own skin. He then put on his own clothes. Ximen Ningning took Yang Dingtian to the balcony outside. She then shouted gently into the air, Ray Ray, come over here. Im looking for you. After a while, a gorgeous shadow flew out from the top of the cave. It flew tremendously fast and beautifully. Soon, it arrived in front of Yang Dingtian, floating in the air and gently flapping its wings. A beautiful ride. Yang Dingtian had never seen one before. Its slender body was formed an elegant S shape. Bright, soft wings covered it from head to tail. The wings on its upper body were the widest, gradually shrinking as you moved down its tail. The wings were also shaped into beautiful curves. Yang Dingtian had never seen such a beautiful flying beast. Apparently, this one was very rare. This is Floating Ray. It can fly quickly and stably. Whats more, it is very docile. Ximen Ningning used her hand to caress the Floating Rays head. Its head was so small compared to its wings. However, it had a pair of big eyes and a tender mouth, which made it look adorable. You bring this brother to the Red Wilderness. Listen to him, okay? Ximen Ningning was caressing its head while talking gently beside its ears. Floating Ray enjoyed the caresses immensely. It squinted its big eyes and rubbed affectionately against Ximen Ningning. The sounds it made sounded like that of a pampered child. Ximen Ningning stopped caressing, and the adorable Floating Ray slowly flew down. It hovered around a foot above the ground and yelped at Yang Dingtian, signaling him to get on. Yang Dingtian gently jumped onto Floating Rays back. He then said, Thank you, Ray Ray. He waved to Ximen Ningning. See you! Ximen Ningning lightly leaned over the fence on the balcony and waved back. Goodbye. Be careful. Please be extra careful. Then, Floating Ray carried Yang Dingtian away towards the Red Wilderness that was a hundred miles away. Red Wilderness was located around a hundred miles northwest of Cloud Sky City. Floating Ray flew very quickly. In less than half an hour, they arrived above the Red Wilderness. Yang Dingtian sat atop Floating Ray. The Red Wilderness appeared to be endless when viewed from above. Numerous red cracks cut across the whole land. Blood-colored magma could be seen floating through the crevices, never solidifying. Even the land here was blood red. The entire Red Wilderness stretched about four hundred miles in each direction. There was a huge volcano at the center. During the period of Great Nirvana, the volcano had erupted, causing the surrounding hundreds of miles to crack. The magma fell into the cracks and formed the Red Wilderness that existed to this day. There was a very strong fire-type Xuan energy in the magma, which was why countless fire-type beasts lived there. (Editor Note: The Great Nirvana is the calamity that destroyed the world ten thousand years ago) Looking down from above, other than the countless cracks, there were five huge, square cracks radiating outwards from the big volcano. The square cracks divided the hundred thousand square miles of the Red Wilderness into sections. The Xuan energy was stronger and the level of beasts was higher the closer one got to the volcano. Floating Ray landed on the outermost periphery of the Red Wilderness. Yang Dingtian jumped off and entered the Red Wilderness. Floating Ray then screamed in the sky and flew back towards Cloud Sky City. It will return to fetch him in the evening. Stepping on the red land, Yang Dingtian suddenly felt very hot. The Xuan energy here was much richer than in Cloud Sky City. However, the Xuan energy here could not be refined because there was a strong Fire Poison inside. The Xuan veins would burn and the cultivator would die if refining was attempted. S?a??h the N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Here in the outermost layer of the Red Wilderness, the beasts were relatively lower in level. On a map, the outermost layer covered about thirty thousand square miles. From his vantage point, Yang Dingtian could only see high and low undulating mountains. Most of the area was barren of plant life. There were only a few strange plants in remote locations. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and drew his sword. Danger was already present. At the moment, in the entire wilderness, there was only him and countless beasts. They were hiding inside the caves. Yang Dingtian knew that the most dangerous places in the Red Wilderness were the deep caves found throughout. Slightly safer were the stone mountains and hills. The safest place was on the open ground. Therefore, Yang Dingtian stayed away from caves and stone mountains, walking carefully along the flat ground deeper and deeper into the Red Wilderness. Although he had pills and the Deep Sea Xuan Clothes, he was only an Enlightener after all. He was absolutely in danger if he stayed here too long. The Deep Sea Xuan Clothes couldnt protect his head and limbs. Any low-level beast could easily kill him. Yang Dingtian only realized his insanity at this point. It could be said that he was solo wandering the dangerous Red Wilderness without any Xuan energy. He slowly walked forward. His nerves were very tense, and every hair on his body was raised. He even tried to avoid touching the bushes while he was walking. The surroundings were absolutely silent. There werent even bug sounds. It felt like a deadly crisis was lurking behind every corner. Yang Dingtian walked for about ten minutes and was now two to three miles further into the Red Wilderness. However, he still hadnt encountered any beasts or any other living creatures. He couldnt help but become a little anxious. Yes, he would be absolutely safe if there were no beasts around, but then he also wouldnt be able to acquire any demon nuclei. Eh? What is that? Yang Dingtian suddenly noticed something shining in front. There was a flame burning in the crack of the stone mountain in front. Moving forward, he found that it wasnt a flame but rather a red and black stone. It only looked like fire from far away. Eh? Master, what is this? Yang Dingtian asked. Ah... Dong Fang Nie Mie was surprised. No way, youre just too lucky. This is just your first step in your adventures and youve already found this precious item in this low-level beast wilderness. Others have traveled a thousand miles without finding one. Hearing his Master, Yang Dingtian became even more curious. So, what is it? Its Bloody Black Gold. It was recently exposed by the cracking of this boulder. Otherwise, it would have been taken away already. Ah! Bloody Black Gold. The one used to forge Sword Souls? Yang Dingtian asked incredulously. Bloody Black Gold was the best material for forging not only Sword Souls but also any other top-class weapons. However, the most valuable aspect of Bloody Black Gold was that it was a unique ingredient used to forge Sword Souls. The minimum number needed to forge a Yang Sword Soul was ninety-nine pieces of Bloody Black Gold. A warrior needed to travel all over the world. It took years, even dozens of years, to dig up enough Bloody Black Gold. Thus, a piece of Bloody Black Gold was actually worth more than a million gold coins. Yang Dingtian just arrived at a trial wilderness and immediately found a piece from a crack in a boulder. Lucky was not enough to describe his fortunes anymore. It was if God were telling him to continue learning the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. Son, let me ask you one more time. Have you already decided to cultivate a Sword Soul? This is the most difficult road in the world. There are only three people in this world who have successfully cultivated Sword Soul. Even Zhu Qingzhu, the current strongest person in the world, doesnt have one. Yang Dingtian looked at the Bloody Black Gold and said, Ive already decided. Whats more, you said that Dongfang Bingling is also cultivating it and had even forged a young sword. If Im not able to forge a Sword Soul, then I will never be able to defeat her. (Note: Young sword is the initial stage of Sword Soul with no vitality.) Sword Soul, the king of all martial souls. An ordinary martial soul was just refined from beasts. The resulting energy of the martial soul would not exceed half of the original beasts. For a Sword Soul, it could grow forever and become a strong partner in battle. Ximen Wuyas Sword Soul was only in the growing stage, but it was powerful enough to defeat one of the Grandmasters in the Yin Yang Sect, Ning Busi. If he hadnt been cut down by Zhu Qingzhu, with his Sword Soul, Ximen Wuya would have been completely invincible after ten years. Well, I had taken many shortcuts when cultivating my own Sword Soul. I wont let you take any shortcuts, Dongfang Nie Mie declared. The first step in cultivating a powerful Sword Soul is to build yourself a peerless sword. To forge a peerless sword, you need to dig this Bloody Black Gold out by yourself! Yang Dingtian took out a dagger and proceeded to dig out the Bloody Black Gold. The dagger was stabbed into the gap of the boulder, and then, Yang Dingtian pressed hard. Souuu... Immediately, a spark flashed in front of him, and a stinging heat almost burned his eyes. A fiery-red giant wolf shot out from the mountain. It opened its bloody mouth and aimed it at Yang Dingtians neck. Its speed was as fast as lightning! This was a Fiery Demon Wolf. It was a fire-type beast, cruel and bloodthirsty. Chapter 52: Hunting! Hunting! Chapter 52: Hunting! Hunting!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian was shocked. He didnt escape but instinctively lifted his sword and stabbed it towards the giant wolfs throat. The first move of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship, stab the throat and deplete the blood! The effect of practicing the sword a million times was evident. He used his fastest speed to stab the giant wolfs throat before the wolf reached him. Boom! Then, using the force of his thrust, he quickly retreated a dozen meters to widen the distance before he looked to see if the wolf was dead. However, the result disappointed him. He had stabbed the giant wolfs throat accurately, but its skin was not even broken. The outer skin on this giant wolf was like a layer of hard armor. Yang Dingtian was quite surprised that his sword had not managed to penetrate the giant wolfs defenses. Wolves were by nature suspicious. Although Yang Dingtians action did not cause any harm to it, it still didnt immediately attack again. Instead, it slowly lowered its body. Its scarlet eyes stared at Yang Dingtian. Am I too weak without any Xuan energy? The sword couldnt even pierce the wolfs skin. Yang Dingtian looked at his sword tip. He had just tried his best to kill the wolf, but there was no blood at all on the tip of the sword. This is just a young Fiery Demon Wolf. It had found you much earlier, but it was lurking behind the boulders to wait for the right opportunity to ambush and kill you, Dongfang Niemie said. What? Just a young Fiery Demon Wolf? Yang Dingtian was shocked. The giant wolf in front of him was nearly two meters long and one meter tall. Seriously? Son, this is definitely your first battle. You have only yourself to rely on now. This Fiery Demon Wolf has been hungry for a long time. It will not let you go. If you lose, you die. It will aim its bites at your throat. The attack will be fatal. Yang Dingtians entire body broke out in goosebumps. He slightly lowered his body, his eyes never leaving the giant wolf in front. Thats right, this was really his first battle. Only one of them would emerge alive. No one will come help him. His throat could be bitten, and he could die at any time. The giant wolf tightened its body. Its cruel eyes became more and more focused. It was snarling while baring its dagger-like sharp teeth. If Yang Dingtian was bitten, it would be impossible for him to survive. The stress in Yang Dingtians heart was incomparable. It was much harder to kill a beast in real life than in his imaginations. The giant wolfs strength was many times that of Yang Dingtian. It had a similar advantage in speed. The greatest challenge for Yang Dingtian was the fact that the wolfs entire body was almost invulnerable. While Yang Dingtian possessed the ingenious Pig Killing Swordsmanship, he had no Xuan energy at all. While he had the Deep Sea Xuan Clothes on his upper body, the Fiery Demon Wolf only aimed at human throats. Time was ticking away second by second. One human and one wolf stared at each other across a distance of a dozen meters. The giant wolf was looking to launch a fatal attack. Meanwhile, Yang Dingtians speed was too slow and his strength was too weak. Therefore, he had to find a way to predict when the wolf would attack. His only way to kill the giant wolf was to pierce the sword through its mouth as quickly as possible when it opened its maw to bite his throat. He had only one chance. If he lost the fight, he would die. Whats worse, his window of opportunity would only last less than second. Apparently, this wolf had been starving for a long time. The prey was now in front of it. Its eyes were extremely bloody. Its roars were getting fiercer and fiercer. s?a??h th? N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The giant wolf began to circle Yang Dingtian. The wolf was so cunning. It had such a huge advantage in this fight, but it didnt immediately take the initiative to attack. It didnt give Yang Dingtian any chances and was seeking to enlarge its advantage through its movement. Yang Dingtian didnt move because he couldnt move. The moment he moved, the giant wolf would pounce and bite his neck before he completed his action. At that point, he would have completely missed his chance to counterattack. This wolf was really incomprehensible and dangerous. Therefore, even when the wolf moved behind Yang Dingtian, he still didnt move at all. Holding his sword in his right hand with his body bent like a drawn bow, he was ready to attack. The dangerous wolf turned round and round. Suddenly, it leaped as fast as lightning and plunged forward from Yang Dingtians left. It opened its bloody mouth and bit at Yang Dingtians throat. What a cunning beast. Its chosen angle was almost in Yang Dingtians blind spot. It was so fast that it reached Yang Dingtians face in an instant, its mouth shooting towards Yang Dingtians neck. Dig out the heart and lungs! Yang Dingtian didnt move his sword but rather quickly procured a dagger from his sleeves with his left hand. He then pierced the dagger into the giant wolfs mouth using the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. Awww... The wolf screamed horribly. Hot blood splattered from its mouth. Yang Dingtians left-handed dagger strike had pierced into the giant wolfs throat! However, it was still not dead. It suddenly slammed shut its mouth, snapping the dagger off at the handle. Boom... Then, it spat a spurt of flame from its mouth. The broken dagger in its mouth was immediately ejected by the flame. What the hell? This was just a young Fiery Demon Wolf, and it was already so powerful? The injured Fiery Demon Wolf became even angrier. After ejecting the dagger, its sharp, front claws scratched towards Yang Dingtians neck. This beast only attacked his neck. It was so fast, resembling a gale bearing down on him. The sharp claws arrived in front of Yang Dingtian in the blink of an eye. It seemed like the claws would crush Yang Dingtians neck any moment now. It was too late for him to retreat. His body flew back, and fortunately, his neck had managed to escape the fatal attack. Bang... Yang Dingtians chest suffered a serious injury. His ribs were almost broken, and a surge of blood spurted out from his mouth. The giant wolfs sharp claws had landed on Yang Dingtians chest. Fortunately, he had the Deep Sea Xuan Clothes, so the giant wolfs sharp claws didnt cut into his body. However, the huge concussive force injured him and made it hard for him to breathe. After smacking Yang Dingtians chest, the giant wolf pounced towards him with its claws. A huge force pressed Yang Dingtian down. The giant wolf had forced him to the ground. Arh-Wooo... The giant wolf fiercely roared. Its eyes emitted violent rays. It followed up by opening its mouth and biting fiercely at Yang Dingtians head. Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword, Sword of Beings... Yang Dingtians sharp sword shot out quickly. Instantly he executed dozens of thrusts. Boom, boom, boom, boom... In an instant, the giant wolfs mouth was struck. Then, he violently stabbed his sword deep into its throat. The giant wolf was completely stunned. It had no time to scream, so it closed its mouth to break the sword. Yang Dingtians head had escaped from the giant wolfs bite attack. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian was even faster than the wolf and quickly pulled out his sword before the wolf can break it. Bang! The giant wolf bit down on nothing but air. Its sharp fangs banged together and created sparks. The giant wolf then shook its head and ran at Yang Dingtian again, wanting to bite his head. Bastard! Either you die, or I die! Ill kill you this time! Yang Dingtian didnt dodge or run. He held his sword and stabbed towards the wolf. Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword, Sword of Birth. Whizzing... Yang Dingtian stabbing his swords twice, striking both of the Fiery Demon Wolfs eyes. Fizzing... The blood burst out. The Fiery Demon Wolfs eyes were instantly destroyed. It immediately turned to escape while wracked with pain. How could Yang Dingtian let it just run away like this? He used all of his strength to wield his sword. He stabbed the sword towards its head. The sharp sword effortlessly penetrated deep into the wolfs brain, smashing it to pulp. Its entire brain had turned to mush after Yang Dingtian pierced it. Awww... A tragic scream sounded out. Its blood burst out everywhere, and its claws struck out crazily, scattering the stones on the ground everywhere. The Fiery Demon Wolf was making its final struggle in its death throes. Yang Dingtian was tightly pressed against the wolfs belly and avoided its crazy counterattack. Bang! Finally, the heavy Fiery Demon Wolf fell to the ground and died. Sssss... Suddenly, Yang Dingtians arm felt a sharp pain. Blood burst out from his arm. The bastard had managed to scratch Yang Dingtians arm before it died, leaving a deep wound. Only then had it fallen to the ground and died. A ferocious beast that required at least five novices combined to kill was dispatched by Yang Dingtian, who was only an Enlightener. ... After confirming that the giant wolf was completely dead, Yang Dingtians limbs went soft, and he immediately collapsed to the ground. Although the Fiery Demon Wolfs body was weighing him down, it seemed like his body was utterly out of energy. He breathed rapidly in short gasps. At this point, he could only feel the pain burning throughout his body. Although he had the Deep Sea Xuan Clothes protecting him, his body was still covered in wounds and blood. Ive finally killed the bastard. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and pushed the Fiery Demon Wolfs corpse off of him. He stood up and used his sword to behead the Fiery Demon Wolf, extracting the demon nucleus within. When the Fiery Demon Wolf was still alive, its skin was almost invulnerable. After it died, Yang Dingtians sword was able to cut its flesh easily. The red demon nucleus was very small like a walnut. It was covered with complicated lines. Ive acquired the first demon nucleus. Yang Dingtian was a little excited. He kissed the fire-type demon nucleus and put it inside his bag. Fire-type demon nucleus acquired. There were four left: wind, gold, ice, and electric! It was pretty easy. A mere young Fiery Demon Wolf had already almost cost Yang Dingtian his life. Little Tian, bury the Fiery Demon Wolfs body now. Otherwise, it will attract many other beasts. It will become really dangerous if that happened. his master, Dongfang Niemie, suddenly advised. Alright, master, Yang Dingtian said. He used his sword to dig. After half an hour, he had dug a hole that was more than a meter deep and three to four meters across. It took him a lot of effort to bury the Fiery Demon Wolfs corpse. After the body was buried, he took a short break to let himself recover his strength. Now, it was time to harvest another treasure: the Bloody Black Gold worth millions! Yang Dingtian climbed over the boulder and used the dagger to dig out the red Bloody Black Gold. Not knowing if it was just his mind playing tricks, Yang Dingtian felt that the Bloody Black Gold seemed to have become more red, more resplendent just now. It really seemed like a burning flame. This is the first step towards my perfect Sword Soul... Yang Dingtian said. He then forcefully thrust the dagger below the Bloody Black Gold. Waaa... Not knowing if he was just hearing things, Yang Dingtian felt like the Bloody Black Gold was cheering. It seemed like it was very excited to be dug out. Thats right. This is the Bloody Black Golds cheer. It is made up of the fiery energy of heaven and earth. It is full of aura, so it can be used to forge the Sword Soul. Dongfang Niemie continued, It takes a hundred years to grow just one piece of Bloody Black Gold. After the Bloody Black Gold had been dug out from the boulder, its red color gradually faded. It then turned a crystal-clear dark purple. Fuuu... At that moment, the sky suddenly turned dark, and a strong wind could be felt. Somebody was coming! Yang Dingtian was shocked and immediately dug out the Bloody Black Gold, holding it tightly in his hands. He didnt expect that the fist-sized Bloody Black Gold was so heavy. It weighed around twenty pounds. However, he had no time to ruminate. Fuuu... A griffin landed in front of Yang Dingtian. Then, a handsome young boy jumped off the griffin and stared greedily at the Bloody Black Gold in Yang Dingtians hand. He violently drew his sword and sneered at Yang Dingtian. Hey toad, hand over the Bloody Black Gold and Ill leave you a complete corpse! Yang Dingtian recognized the guy. He had accompanied Tang Li last time and had said that he would banish Yang Dingtian from Cloud Sky City. Ive waited for you to finally leave Cloud Sky City. My name is Yang Qi. My father died by Ximen Wuyas hand. Today, I will kill you to avenge him. Im a Five Star Novice Martial Artist. Its easy for me to kill you. Prepare to die! Ill take care of that bitch Ximen Yanyan for you. After speaking, Yang Qis eyes filled with killing intent. He waved his sword and fiercely pierced towards Yang Dingtian. Chapter 53: Must-Kill Sword! Chapter 53: Must-Kill Sword!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Whooshing... Several blade auras shot towards Yang Dingtian before Yang Qis sword arrived. Yang Dingtian quickly dodged. Ssss... Although he responded very quickly to avoid them, he was still too late. His face and neck were struck by the aura. Immediately, Yang Dingtian could feel a hot and sharp pain on his body. The wounds cut deep into his flesh, causing him to bleed profusely. The fight had just started, and Yang Dingtian was already injured. His opponent was a Five Star Novice Martial Artist, which was five levels higher than Yang Dingtian. However, his Xuan energy was several dozen times higher than Yang Dingtians. After the blade aura hit Yang Dingtian, Yang Qi immediately rushed towards him, brandishing his sword and aiming at Yang Dingtians crotch. This teen was extremely savage. He wanted to castrate Yang Dingtian just because of his own jealousy regarding the latters engagement to Yanyan. Yang Dingtian quickly used his sword to block this attack. Bang... Yang Dingtians sword had managed to block Yang Qis sword. However, the moment he blocked the attack, his arm was blown back. Yang Qis Xuan energy fiercely penetrated his wrist, desperately tearing through Yang Dingtians veins. Yang Dingtian immediately stepped back to avoid Yang Qis sword. How did you block my sword? Yang Qi was stunned but then revealed a sneer. You want to try it again? S?a??h th? N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Immediately, Yang Qi struck out with his sword quickly with every attack being perverse. He continued to aim at Yang Dingtians crotch, wanting to turn him into a eunuch. Dang dang dang dang... During this entire time, Yang Dingtians crotch felt icy-cold. The blade was emanating a cold aura towards his crucial body part. He would really become a eunuch if stabbed. Yang Dingtians entire body broke out in goosebumps. He focused all of his attention on Yang Qis vicious sword tip and wielded his own sword at a high speed. Dang dang dang dang... In an instant, Yang Qi stabbed his word dozens of times. In the same instant, Yang Dingtian dodged dozens of sword strikes. Yang Qi stabbed more than a hundred times. Yang Dingtian blocked more than a hundred strikes. At the moment, the vicious exchange between the two was taking place only a few inches from his crotch. Sparks were flying off in all directions. It was really terrifying, but he was still able to block all of Yang Qis attacks, even though the latters every strike was much more powerful and much faster than his own. However, Yang Dingtian possessed the most mysterious swordsmanship in the world. This advantage filled the gap between them. So, even though it was very hair-raising, Yang Dingtian still able to block all the attacks. In the beginning, Yang Qi regarded this fight as just a game, but as each of his strikes was blocked, he became more and more shocked. Finally, he was left showing an incredulous expression. What swordsmanship is this? How can you block all of my seventh rank Flower Retrieving Sword Tactic? Yang Qi stepped back. You are not as fast as me. Your strength is also weaker, but you can block my sword. What swordsmanship are you using? Of course, it is the Pig Killing Swordsmanship, Yang Dingtian coldly answered. Impossible, the Pig Killing Swordsmanship is trash, Yang Qi sneered. That is because you guys are just stupid. Its a pearl, but you people only see it as a rock, Yang Dingtian sneered. Humph, youre really an idiot, Yang Qi sneered. If you didnt show me the mysterious power of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship, you still have been able to keep your life. But now that have you shown it, you have to die. Do you think that Im going to leave myself a powerful enemy? If I can get rid of your limbs, lets see you stop my sword then. Lets see if I wont castrate you. Whooshing... After that, Yang Qi wielded his sword and stabbed forward like a poisonous snake. It was still the Flower Retrieving Sword Tactic! The blade moved like a snake and instantly arrived before Yang Dingtians arm. He not only wanted to pierce Yang Dingtians arm but also wanted to sever the Xuan veins within. Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword, Sword of Ruthlessness. Yang Dingtians sword turned and struck out. His swords shadow loomed and quickly entangled with Yang Qis sword, pushing it away. Suddenly, Yang Qis poisonous sharp sword was deflected through a gentle stroke applying the power of leverage. How is this possible? Yang Qi was stunned. Earlier, his attacks had been foiled because he only attacked Yang Dingtians crotch. It could be said his target was too predictable. Thus, Yang Dingtian was able to easily dodge his sword using his judgment. But now, he was attacking across a much wider range. Yang Dingtian not only blocked his offense but also managed to deflect his attack easily. This was ridiculous. Yang Qis eyes suddenly filled with greed. The Pig Killing Swordsmanship, was it so mysterious? However, because of this, he couldnt let Yang Dingtian live. He must kill him. Yang Qi resumed his normal demeanor and stared at Yang Dingtian, examining him from head to toe while planning his next attack! Flower Retrieving Sword Tactic, third sword, Intentional Falling Flower! Yang Qis sword technique was very strange. His sword swayed as lightly as the wind and then stabbed at Yang Dingtians wrist. Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword, Sword of Ruthlessness! Whooshing... Yang Dingtian still used the same move, applying leverage with a gentle stroke to parry Yang Qis sword. But, the Sword of Ruthlessness this time was somewhat different from the one he used before. Yang Qis eyes flashed like lightning and he screamed out loud. Again, he stabbed out with his sword. Flower Retrieving Sword Tactic, fourth sword, The Ruthless Flowing Water. It stabbed straight at Yang Dingtian eyes. However, it was once again deflected by Yang Dingtians sword. Yang Dingtian was still using the third sword of the Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword, Sword of Ruthlessness, but it was once again a bit different from before. The Pig Killing Swordsmanship was number one in the world. It was intensive. Every one of its moves was alive. Yang Qi felt like he was going crazy. He was five levels higher than Yang Dingtian. His Xuan energy was nearly ten times stronger, but he was completely helpless against him. Flower Retrieving Sword Tactic, fifth sword, The Autumn Wind! The sixth sword, The Destructive Storm! The seventh sword, The Raging Waves! The eighth sword, The Thousand Layers Snow! The ninth sword, The Perishing Soul! Finally, Yang Qi executed his last technique, which was also the most powerful and dangerous technique of the Flower Retrieving Sword Tactic. Whooshing... Countless blade auras fiercely shot forth. Yang Qis sword became a blur that looked like countless poisonous snakes. It swept crazily towards Yang Dingtians head and neck. In an instant, Yang Dingtians upper body was completely enveloped in sword techniques. Yang Dingtian had encountered his greatest crisis in this fight. His entire head might be smashed into pieces at any moment. Facing this technique, Yang Dingtian dodged while staring at Yang Qis sword, looking for a flaw in this killer ninth technique. Whooshing... At this moment, Yang Dingtians neck already sported two bloody wounds, one of which was less than one centimeter from his aorta. Found it. Right here! Yang Dingtian, due to his experience practicing the most mysterious swordsmanship, possessed the ability to find the flaws in other sword tactics. There was no other sword tactic that could match the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. After learning it, one can quickly and easily find the flaws in other sword tactics. Pig Killing Swordsmanship, first sword, Stab the Throat and Deplete the Blood! After Yang Dingtian found the flaw, his sword stabbed out like a meteor. Dang... Suddenly, all of Yang Qis swords techniques were completely destroyed. The places where his sword had to pass through were utterly blocked by Yang Dingtians sword. Dang dang dang dang... At that moment, both of their swords were twisted together. Dang... It became obvious that Yang Dingtians sword was of poorer quality. It instantly cracked a little bit. Yang Qis techniques had been all broken, causing his sword tactic to turn into a mess. His breathing and Xuan energy both became unstable as well. Now was time to counterattack and take down the enemy. Yang Dingtian risked his own life to gain this chance. Kill! Yang Dingtian rushed forward and disentangled his sword. Using his cracked sword, he frantically stabbed at Yang Qis chest. Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword, Sword of Beings! Immediately, Yang Dingtians sword became like stars furiously stabbing at Yang Qis chest. Puffing... In an instant, Yang Qis chest had been pierced dozens of times. Blood burst out of his wounds. Ahhh... Yang Qi screamed and used all of his remaining strength to quickly retreat. Yang Dingtian furiously pumped his legs and sprinted after him crazily. Pig Killing Swordsmanship, Dig out the heart and lungs! He rushed forward quickly and stabbed at Yang Qis heart with his cracked sword. Puff! In an instant, the sharp cracked sword stabbed into Yang Qis chest, causing blood to splatter everywhere. Ahhh... Yang Qi was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. His eyes stared at the sword that had almost penetrated his heart. Suddenly, he summoned a savage aura from his body. I cant die! Yang Qi grabbed the sharp cracked sword lodged in his chest and broke it. Crack... The blood burst out from Yang Qis palm. Yang Dingtian had bet everything on the technique just now to end his life. However, his sword ended up getting shattered by Yang Qi. Then, Yang Qi exhausted all of his strength to retreat several dozen meters. Yang Dingtian tried his best to chase after him, but the distance between continued to grow. In the blink of an eye, Yang Qi was already thirty meters ahead. Ahhh... Yang Dingtian let out an angry scream. He had just lost his chance to kill Yang Qi. If he caught up now, not only would he not kill Yang Qi, but he would instead end up at a disadvantage. It wasnt easy for him to create such an opportunity. However, due to his lack of Xuan energy, he only managed to inflict a minor wound but couldnt end his life. If he had Xuan energy, even if it was only half of Yang Qis, it would have been more than enough for him to kill Yang Qiu several times over. At the moment, Yang Dingtian had never had such a strong desire to break through his current shackles to access his Xuan energy. He hated his weakness. ... Yang Qi managed to calm self after retreating thirty meters away. Hahaha... Yang Qi showed a weird smile, but his expression was still that of shock. He looked at Yang Dingtian. Your swordsmanship really opened my eyes. It is too strong, too mysterious. I never would have imagined that with the support of your swordsmanship, you were actually able to make up the difference of five Xuan levels. I was negligent and was almost killed by you. Yang Qi wiped off the blood on his hands and continued to sneer. However, you no longer have a chance. Now, I know how to deal with you. I wont cross swords with you. I will use Xuan energy to crush you to death. Youre amazing so you have to die. If you dont die today, I will definitely die in your hands later. No matter what the cost, you must die! Yang Qi procured a pill from his bag, a third rank Xuan Booster Pill! Third rank Xuan Booster Pills were very precious. The reason he had this pill was because he was from the Yang family. After taking this pill, the Xuan energy inside his body would increase by several times. But, the increase would only last for a quarter of an hour. Afterwards, he would have to deal with the severe consequences of overloading his Xuan energy. However, in order to kill Yang Dingtian, Yang Qi was willing to bear the consequences because he was a descendant of the Yang family. And because Ximen Wuya killed his father. Furthermore, he coveted Ximen Yanyan. He had been expelled from Cloud Sky City when he was very young. He had just returned to the city in recent months. Otherwise, how could he still be a Five Star Novice Martial Artist at the age of seventeen? Because he witnessed Yang Dingtians extraordinariness, he must nip this future threat in the bud! ... After taking the Xuan Booster Pill, Yang Qis body slowly turned red. A strong aura burst out from his body. His eyes also shined a bright red. His amount of available Xuan energy immediately tripled. Fuuu... A red smog was exhaled out of his mouth. Yang Qis face became distorted. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath, his entire body breaking out in goosebumps. Yang Dingtian bent his body, gripping his sword with both hands. He was like a beast preparing for death and awaited Yang Qis fatal attack. This was a real fatal blow. Yang Qi crazily condensed all of his Xuan energy into his sword. The blade was turning redder and redder. Boom! At the end of this process, the whole sword violently burned. Yang Dingtian, now you will really die! After letting out a fierce scream, Yang Qi swung the burning sword and stabbed at Yang Dingtian from the sky. Boom... After a loud bang, the burning sword erupted into a huge sword aura that burst towards Yang Dingtian like lightning. Chapter 54: Had to Kill! Chapter 54: Had to Kill!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Boom... The huge sword aura formed and slammed like a cannonball onto Yang Dingtians chest. Boom... Yang Dingtians body was blasted away several dozen meters, like rice straw. Puffing... In the air, blood shot out of his mouth like an arrow. Yang Qi leaped into the air and aimed at Yang Dingtian. He once again frantically swung his sword. Pop... The red-hot sword aura once again struck Yang Dingtians chest. Again, Yang Dingtian spat out blood and flew another several dozen meters away. Then, he fell violently to the ground and kicked up dust. After rolling for a dozen meters, he remained motionless on the ground, covered in blood. S?a??h the ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Hahahaha... Yang Qi laughed so hard and slowly walked towards Yang Dingtian after landing. Killing you is just a simple matter, isnt it? When he reached Yang Dingtian, Yang Qis red color face had faded and turned pale. At the moment, the Xuan energy in his body was almost exhausted. He walked to Yang Dingtian and gently kicked him. There was no response. The blood flowing from Yang Dingtian had soaked into the ground. Yang Qi slowly lifted his sword and pressed it against the back Yang Dingtians neck. He sneered. Dont worry, Ill help you take care of Ximen Yanyan. Her cultivation has been constantly deteriorating while Im rapidly improving. I believe that I will surpass her soon. Then, I can finally make my dream come true. Ive always wanted to try this young face with big boobs lady, the number one beauty in the Northwest Continent. After that, Yang Qi violently raised his sword and cut down at Yang Dingtians neck. He not only wanted to kill Yang Dingtian but also wanted to cut off his head. Dang! Suddenly, a broken sword blocked Yang Qis sword. To Yang Qi, it seemed incredible that the seemingly unconscious Yang Dingtian would suddenly open his eyes and show him a mocking smile. Ahhh... Yang Qi let out a horrified scream and immediately turned his body to escape. His Xuan energy had all been exhausted earlier. But, it was too late. Yang Dingtian firmly leaped forward with his broken sword in hand. Whooshing... The broken sword shot forth like a lightning bolt and stabbed into Yang Qis back, piercing through his body. After stabbing him, Yang Dingtian leaped forward like an evil tiger. He grabbed the back of Yang Qis neck and pulled out his broken sword. Ahhh... Yang Qi was miserable. Puffing... After holding Yang Qis neck to prevent him from escaping, Yang Dingtian aimed at his back and quickly stabbed a dozen times. Each stab was bloody and vicious. Ahhh... Yang Qi was shrieking horrifically. After being stabbed twenty times, Yang Qis body was a mess of flesh and blood, looking like a pile of mud. Yang Dingtian strongly pressed Yang Qi against the ground and pointed his sword at his neck. I have Deep Sea Xuan Clothes on me. Did you think your sword aura and Xuan energy could hurt me? Even without its protection, I still have Nine Yang Xuan Veins. I was able to stay alive after getting hit by Zhu Hongxue. Your sword aura isnt even worth mentioning. Yang Dingtian sneered. If you had wanted to escape, I wouldnt have been able to do anything to you. But, taking that pill and using your Xuan energy to try to kill me, you were just seeking death. You drove yourself into a dead end. Yang Qi kneeled on the ground. His whole body was cold and bleeding. He was shivering. Dont kill me. Dont kill me. Brother-in-law, dont kill me, Yang Qi wept weakly. Yanyan is my cousin, so youre also my cousin. Dont kill me! Yang Dingtian shook his head. I cant find a reason not to kill you. Im fine even if you offend me. But, you keep saying that you want to harm Yanyan and keep expressing an improper desire towards her. I wont allow a viper to stay beside her. Bro, please dont kill me. Actually, I didnt want to kill you, but someone asked me to. He promised that if I killed you, he would allow me to have Yanyan for one night and make me leader of the Black Blood Cavalry, Yang Yan said while shivering. Yang Dingtian complexion changed immediately. He angrily asked, Who? Was it Tang Li? No, not Tang Li. Tang Li is just his minion. Its Qin Shaobai, who will soon arrive at Cloud Sky City. Hes here to become the Cloud Sky City Lord. But, because you are the heir appointed by Ximen Wuya, he ordered us to kill you before he got here. Qin Shaobai? Who is he? What qualifications does he have to be the Lord of Cloud Sky City? Yang Dingtian asked. He is the third son of the Northwest Qin family and is also Great Elder Yang Yans grandson. However, a few days ago, he was expelled from the Northwest Qin City because of his mistakes. He was driven away to Cloud Sky City together with his mother Yang Shishi. He has since changed his name to Yang Shaobai, Yang Qi explained. Such a good stratagem and plan, Yang Dingtian sneered. This was indeed a good plan to occupy Cloud Sky City. The Northwest Qin family was one of the worlds hegemons. Among the Three Sects, Nine Factions, and Twenty-Seven Groups, it was ranked at the very top of the Nine Factions. Compared to Cloud Sky City, it was a real hegemon, controlling three thousand square miles of territory. Before the Ximen Wuyas peerless battle at sea, it was recognized as the top power in the Northwest Continent, ranking top five in the world. In terms of strength, the Northwest Qin family was a few times stronger than Cloud Sky City. Even if one only considered the Guru level experts, the Northwest Qin family had three or four. Cloud Sky City had only one, which was Ximen Wuya. Ximen Wuyas greatest opponent in the entire Northwest Continent was Northwest Qin familys master, who was an absolutely unfathomable hero. These past years, the struggle between Ximen Wuya and the Northwest Qin family raged constantly. Ximen Wuya desperately suppressed the Yang family forces and fostered his three outstanding foster sons, Ximen Ju, Ximen Lie, and Ximen Nu, to hold positions in the Elder Society. However, the Northwest Qin family secretly fostered the Yang family and made arrangements with them. However, they didnt dare make the relationship public when Ximen Wuya was still around. But now that hes gone, the Northwest Qin family immediately revealed their attitude. Qin Shaobais arrival, on the surface, was entirely his own decision. The truth, however, was that his journey here was secretly backed by the Northwest Qin family. At the same time, they had Yang Yan act as their representative in the Elder Society of Cloud Sky City. It seemed that they had full control over the position of Lord of Cloud Sky City. Bro, Ive told you everything. Please spare my life. Please spare my life. Seeing Yang Dingtian looking conflicted, Yang Qi coldly added, Im from the Qin family and am Qin Shaobais close relative. If you kill me, they will definitely crush you into a corpse. If you spare me, maybe I can plead for you in front of Qin Shaobai to spare your life. Yang Dingtian calmly said, You think too much. How old are you? Seventeen! Yang Dingtian answered with a shiver. So young... Yang Dingtian sighed. But, I have no choice. Sorry! Shua... Yang Dingtian fiercely stabbed down with his sword. Ahhhh... Yang Qis screamed in horror. His voice was cut off halfway as blood splattered everywhere. His head had been cut off and rolled to the side. Ive told you too much, and you keep saying youre going to harm Yanyan. Therefore, you had to die. Yang Qis corpse had been cut into two pieces. His face was frozen in a shocked expression. Yang Dingtian sighed and shook his head helplessly. He didnt want to kill, but he had to! ... The proud son of God, Qin Shaobai, was it? Yang Dingtian would like to meet him and see how strong he was. Yang Yan betrayed the citys ancestral foundation. Curse him! The Elder Society sold Cloud Sky City to its enemy, to outsiders. Curse them! Yang Dingtian grabbed the two pieces of Yang Qis corpse and walked forward. He didnt want to bury him. Instead, he walked towards the abyss intending to pitch the corpse inside. In this way, the body would quickly be burned to ashes by the magma. All traces of Yang Qi would disappear. There was currently no one else in the trial wilderness. No one saw Yang Dingtian kill Yang Qi. As long as the evidence was destroyed, no one would suspect Yang Dingtian because everyone thought that he was just trash. How could an idiot kill Yang Qi, a Five Star Novice Martial Artist? After walking a few hundred meters, he reached the edge of a deep abyss. The red-blood magma flowed beneath. Even though he was standing a few kilometers above the magma, Yang Dingtian could still vividly feel a horrible heat energy emanating from below. He gently threw down Yang Qis head into the abyss. Then, he pushed the body over as well. After a few seconds.... Puffing... Yang Qis body landed in the magma. There was a small splash, and smoke rose immediately. After a while, Yang Qis body was burned to ashes, leaving no traces. From that moment onwards, Yang Qi had completely vanished from this world. ... Sigh... Yang Dingtian relaxed and sat down on the ground. He had killed the Fiery Demon Wolf and Yang Qi. He was currently covered in wounds. His body was a mess of flesh and blood. He slowly closed his eyes and prepared to take a short break. He took out a healing pill. Suddenly, Yang Dingtian smelled a very seductive scent. It resembled the scent of a certain flower but was much stronger. And the strange thing was, after inhaling this fragrance, his body immediately became light and fluttering. He felt like he was flying. Moreover, his pain and the wounds on his body were recovering rapidly. Some of the wounds disappeared altogether! It was strange that this incense had such a great effect. Master, what is this? It was so fragrant and amazing? Yang Dingtian asked in his heart. Dongfang Niemie answered, Search along the cliffs of the abyss. There should be a certain kind of flower nearby. Yang Dingtian looked down from the cliff and found an incomparably beautiful flower blooming approximately a hundred meters below the cliff. It was blooming at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye. As it bloomed, its color changed constantly. The flower had no leaves. It had only a red-hot rhizome. There were six petals that looked completely different from the flowers that Yang Dingtian were familiar with. However, it really was beautiful and dreamy. Yang Dingtian had never seen such a beautiful and mysterious flower before. This is the Enchanted Orchid. It is used to concoct the Enchanted Pill. The blooming period is less than half an hour, Dongfang Niemie said. Is it precious? Yang Dingtian asked. Very precious. If you want to sell it, the going price for an Enchanted Orchid is more than that of a piece of Bloody Black Gold, Dongfang Niemie explained. But, this is not very useful for you right now. Then, Ill go pluck it for Ximen Ningning to use to concoct pills. I need to give her a thank-you gift for helping me, Yang Dingtian stated. Then, he slowly climbed down the cliff to pick the Enchanted Orchid. Oh no! Run... Dongfang Niemie warned. Yang Dingtian was shocked. Without questioning his Master, he quickly gave up the Enchanted Orchid and desperately climbed up. Its too late..., Dongfang Niemie sighed helplessly. I shouldve thought of it earlier. There is always a Wind Shadow Demon Snake wherever there is an Enchanted Orchid. Yang Dingtian turned slowly and saw a four-to-five-meter-long snake gradually revealing itself. It had a horrific appearance. It was flapping its wings and floating in the air, staring at Yang Dingtian. Wind Shadow Demon Snake, wind-type beast. It could turn invisible, fly, and attack from a distance. Chapter 55: Hunting Wind Shadow Demon Snake! Chapter 55: Hunting Wind Shadow Demon Snake!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian definitely wanted to find a wind-type demon nucleus, but now was absolutely the wrong time to encounter such a beast. He was stuck halfway down the cliff. He could not go up nor could he go down. His body was covered with wounds. He hadnt even had time to consume any medicine. The Wind Shadow Demon Snake was more formidable than the Fiery Demon Wolf. Perhaps, Yang Dingtian had no way to kill it in the first place, because it could just fly away and he would have no way of catching it. It could shoot wind blades from a distance, so it could kill Yang Dingtian without the latter being able to fight back. Hiss... At that moment, the Wind Snake behind Yang Dingtian bent its body violently. The sharp thorns on its neck suddenly opened with a horrible hiss, and its eyes instantly became extremely fierce. It was about to attack. Its small blood-red eyes stared Yang Dingtians neck. It then opened its mouth and began to swallow the Xuan energy around it. It was condensing Xuan energy, and when it condensed to its limits, it would shoot out wind blades at Yang Dingtians neck. The powerful wind blades could cut a stone pillar that was more than a foot thick. Yang Dingtians neck was certainly not a problem. Hiss hiss hiss... The sharp, horrible sound got louder and louder. The Wind Snakes mouth opened wider and wider. An immeasurable amount of Xuan energy flowed into its body, swelling its belly. Soon, the Wind Snake swallowed the Xuan energy to its limit. It would spit out the invincible wind blades any moment now. At this time, Yang Dingtian was completely exposed on the cliff. No matter where he hid, the wind blades would reach his neck. Release your grip and pick the orchid. Dont worry about the Wind Snake, Dongfang Niemie shouted in Yang Dingtians mind. Yang Dingtian did not hesitate. He immediately let go of his handhold, causing his body to fall quickly. Swoosh... At the same time, the Wind Snake spat out a wind blade. Pow... There was a loud bang. The cliff above Yang Dingtian seemed to have been struck by lightning. A crack that was more than a foot deep was cut into the rock face. Gravel flew everywhere. S?a??h the ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The wind blade was so powerful. If it had struck Yang Dingtians neck, his whole head would be nothing more than a pile of mud now. After that shock, Yang Dingtian continued to fall quickly. When he passed the Enchanted Orchid, he quickly reached out and grabbed it. Hiss... The Wind Snake above Yang Dingtian saw him take the Enchanted Orchid. It immediately shrieked with anger as if trying to perforate his eardrum. Then, something that sounded like the crack of a slingshot sounded out. The Wind Snake had coiled its body and then shot off towards Yang Dingtians back. Hold the Enchanted Orchid in your mouth but dont swallow it, Dongfang Niemie ordered. Yang Dingtian immediately put the Enchanted Orchid in his mouth. He continued to fall fast. Thwack... Suddenly, his body tensed, and he could feel a sharp, cold pain. The Wind Snake had wrapped itself around Yang Dingtians entire body and started constricting desperately. It was very strong. Yang Dingtian was left unable to breathe, and his bones seemed to be crack. If he did not have the Deep Sea Xuan Clothes, his skeleton would have been shattered. After constricting Yang Dingtian, the Wind Snake waved its wings and flew upwards. Its five-meter-long body squeezed him tighter and tighter as it exerted greater and greater force. Yang Dingtian now knew why Dongfang Niemie had ordered him to fall and pick the orchid. It was because the Wind Snake was determined to get the Enchanted Orchid. As long as he picked the flower and put it in his mouth, in order to save the orchid, the Wind Snake would not let him fall into the deep magma abyss and be burned alive. Such an ending would also incinerate the Enchanted Orchid. But of course, it was not trying to save Yang Dingtian. Thus, it was squeezing down on him until he died. Therefore, Yang Dingtian found himself unable to breathe and was slowly blacking out. Hold your breath and pretend to die! When you reach the ground, look for a chance to launch a sneak attack, Dongfang Niemie said. Yang Dingtian quickly closed his eyes, held his breath, and pretended to die. After landing on the ground, the sharp-pointed head of the Wind Snake dipped down to sniff for signs of breathing. It opened its bloody mouth, which let out an extremely noxious smell. Yang Dingtian almost vomited, but he still remained motionless, holding his breath. After sniffing for half a minute, the Wind Snake decided that Yang Dingtian was dead. It loosened its body and tossed him to the ground. Then, it lowered its head and opened its mouth to bite open Yang Dingtians stomach to get the Enchanted Orchid. It thought that he had already eaten the flower. The sixth sword of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship, chop off the limbs! Swish! The light of his sword cut across the wind snakes wings. The Wind Snake quickly tried to retreat, but it was too late. Its wings were indeed the most vulnerable part of its body. Yang Dingtians sword cut through them deeply. No longer able to fly, it fell to the ground. Yang Dingtians swordsmanship was like a lightning bolt and continued to quickly chop down at the Wind Snakes body. But, he had no Xuan energy, so the outer shell of the Wind Snake was completely impervious to his strikes. Swish swish swish... There were another two rapid sword strikes. Yang Dingtian stabbed at its eyes, using exactly the same tactics that he used to kill the Fiery Demon Wolf. The speed of his sword was great. Although the Wind Snake tried to avoid it with its lightning speed, its eyes were still stabbed repeatedly by Yang Dingtian. However, a fantastic scene revealed itself. The eyes that were stabbed were unexpectedly still in good condition. A strong, transparent protective layer covered the surface of each of the beasts eyeballs. Yang Dingtian had no Xuan energy, so he couldnt pierce it. It was a terrible state of affairs! His one blow did not kill it. Yang Dingtian drew back quickly, not daring to continue fighting. Hiss crrr... The Wind Snake roared with rage as it suffered severe pain. It let out a shrill and horrific roar. The snake arched on the ground, its two blood-red little eyes staring at Yang Dingtian. Its body was only about as thick as his arm, but it was four to five meters long. Even if its body was bent, it was still much taller than Yang Dingtian. Hiss... The wind snake opened its scarlet mouth and bared its sharp fangs. It is about to spit out a wind blade again. Quickly hold the Enchanted Orchid between your teeth and show it. It will not attack your head as it is afraid of destroying the orchid. Dongfang Niemie advised, Based on its level, it can only spit a wind blade three times before its Xuan energy is exhausted. Then, you can fight it with the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. Whoosh... Dongfang Niemie had just finished his words when the Wind Snake spat a wind blade as fast as lightning. It shot towards Yang Dingtians heart. Bang... Yang Dingtians body flew back a few meters. Yang Dingtian felt a sharp pain and spurted a lot of blood. Then, he fell to the ground and pretended to be dead again. Fortunately, he had the Deep Sea Xuan Clothes. Otherwise, the blade would have cut through his chest. Spit out the Enchanted Orchid. Let it eat! Dongfang Niemie said. Yang Dingtian loosened his mouth. Immediately, the Enchanted Orchid dropped from Yang Dingtians mouth and fell to his side. The Wind Snake observed for a long time to make sure that Yang Dingtian was dead. It then crawled over, dipped its head, and tried to bite the Enchanted Orchid. It bit into the flower and instantly fell into a hypnotic state. Yang Dingtian was about to attack. Wait, Dongfang Niemie stopped him. The time is not yet ripe. Wait another minute until it is completely hypnotized. Seeing the Wind Snakes intoxicated expression, Yang Dingtian was surprised. Master, what is the use of this Enchanted Orchid to the Wind Snake? Why would it rather die than swallow it? There is no use, Dongfang Niemie answered. Any beast would rather die than part with it because the Enchanted Orchid causes addiction and lets the beast experience euphoria. Isnt it a drug? Its like heroin in the Chinese Mainland. No wonder the Wind Snake would rather die. There are also many addicts on Earth who would be willing to die for a little bit of heroin. Yang Dingtian did not know whether to laugh or to cry. He did not expect to meet a drug addict in a different world. No wonder the price of the Enchanted Orchid in this world was so high. As time went by, the Wind Snakes expression became more and more exaggerated. Just by using the Enchanted Orchid, it had completely entered another world. It began to droop. Its eyes had completely blurred as if it were drunk. Then, the snakes pupils not only lost focus, but the transparent protective layers covering its eyeballs also opened up. Time is up. Draw your sword, Dongfang Niemie said. Yang Dingtian immediately bounced up. The sword in his hand darted forward quickly and struck twice as fast as lighting. First move of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship, stab the throat and deplete the blood! He was not stabbing the Wind Snakes throat but rather its eyes. Puff... Instantly, blood spattered out. The two strikes pierced its eyes and immediately rendered it blind. Crrr... The Wind Snake, whose eyes were now useless, suddenly woke up and let out a miserable hiss. Its four-to-five-meter long body thrashed wildly on the ground, creating cracks. It then aimed at Yang Dingtian and viciously opened its mouth to its limit. Lie down. Watch out for the last wind blade, Dongfang Niemie said. Yang Dingtian immediately hit the ground. Whoosh... A wind blade flew through the air, cutting above the tip of Yang Dingtians nose. If he had been a little late, half of the head would have been shorn off. After spitting out the last wind blade, the Wind Snake crawled madly along the ground and opened its bloody mouth, trying to sense Yang Dingtians breathing. It wanted to bite him into pieces, tear him into a pile of flesh, and then swallow him alive. Its eyes were bleeding. Its fangs were like knives. Its four-to-five-meter-long body crawled wildly on the ground. It looked extremely horrible. However, it was blind and could only use Yang Dingtians scent to track him. Soon, it found Yang Dingtians position. The four-to-five-meter-long snake immediately coiled up like a spring and shot towards Yang Dingtian. It opened its scarlet mouth to the limit and bit at Yang Dingtians neck. Although it had no wings, the speed of its jump was incredible. Yang Dingtian stood still. He eyed the Wind Snakes open mouth and thrust out with his long sword. The fifth sword of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship, eviscerate the stomach. Psst! Yang Dingtians sword slammed into the Wind Snakes mouth. Yang Dingtian immediately used the fourth move of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship, dig out the heart and lungs. His sword whirled around in the snakes belly. He followed up with the seventh move, one stroke cleaving into two pieces. His sharp sword slammed into the corner of the Wind Snakes mouth and cut through it instantly. The skin and flesh there were more fragile. Whiz... In instant, the sharp sword cut more than a foot through the Wind Snake, exposing its constantly beating heart. The sharp sword then cut into that heart. Thwack... The four-to-five-meter-long snake corpse immediately collapsed to the ground. It twitched for a moment before dying completely. All Yang Dingtians strength immediately receded from his body as cleanly as the tide. He felt weak at the knees and wanted to sit down, but he remained standing and waited until he could confirm that the Wind Snake was completely dead. He walked forward with his broken sword and cut open the snakes huge triangular head. He dug its demon nucleus out of its flesh and blood. He had acquired the wind-type demon nucleus. It was transparent and colorless but had a tinge of grey. It looked like a cloud and was dyed in the color of the wind. There were still three demon nuclei left to collect: gold, ice, and electric. At this moment, a feeling of pride arose in Yang Dingtians heart. He was just an enlightener who had set out to kill a fire-type beast and a wind-type beast by himself, which sounded like an impossible task. However, he did it despite the danger and wounds he suffered. He was filled with hope regarding the hunts for the next three types of demon nuclei. Looking at the sunset over the horizon, he saw that it was already late. Whew... At that moment, a sweet voice sounded from the sky. A gorgeous figure flew down towards him. It was the Floating Ray, Ray Ray. It came to bring Yang Dingtian back to Cloud Sky City. Yang Dingtian waved at it. Ray Ray drew nearer and nearer. Then, Yang Dingtian discovered that there was a person on its back. It was Ximen Ningning. Ximen Ningnings delicate face was currently full of anxiety. When she saw Yang Dingtian, she immediately said, Quick, come back to Cloud Sky City with me. Something very important happened. Chapter 56: Netherworld Sea Chapter 56: Netherworld SeaTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales What happened? Yang Dingtian was shocked and asked quickly. However, Ximen Ningning cried out in fear when she saw Yang Dingtians body covered in fresh blood. How did you get hurt like this? Then, she reached out towards Yang Dingtians wounds with a trembling hand. Im fine. Its barely a flesh wound, Yang Dingtian dismissed her concerns. Tell me quickly. Whats happening in Cloud Sky City? Its about Yanyan, Ximen Ningning answered. Yang Dingtian was scared. What happened to Yanyan? Did that bastard Yang Yan do anything? No, Yanyan is fine, Ximen Ningning said. But someone from the Netherworld Sea has come to see her. Yang Dingtian was a bit confused. It shouldnt have been a big deal for someone from the Netherworld Sea to come see Yanyan. Ningning didnt have to ride the Floating Ray here just to deliver this message. Ningning explained, Besides that, although I gave you some pills and the Deep Sea Xuan clothes this morning, I forgot to give you the most important thing: a good weapon. I was horrified when I suddenly realized that I let you wander off with a steel sword to kill Demonic beasts. Thus, I immediately hopped on Ray Ray to find you. If he had a good weapon, he believed that killing the two Demonic beasts wouldnt have been that hard. Yang Dingtian didnt have much Xuan energy so it was impossible for him to pierce through a beasts skin whether it was the Fiery Demon Wolf or the Wind Shadow Demon Snake. See? Im still okay, arent I? Yang Dingtian smiled. Luckily, youre still fine. Otherwise, I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life. Ximen Ningning said. She then attempted to pull Yang Dingtian aboard the Floating Ray. Its okay. Im not that weak. Yang Dingtian laughed and jumped on the Floating Ray. Ray Ray, Im sorry for troubling you again. Yang Dingtian gently stroked the Floating Rays neck. Ray Ray then let out a soft voice and used its neck to rub against Yang Dingtians palm. Ningning gently jumped aboard the Floating Rays back and sat behind Yang Dingtian. By the way, have you gotten a demon nucleus? Ximen Ningning only now recalled this important matter. Yes, I got it. Yang Dingtian said. I killed one Fiery Demon Wolf and one Wind Shadow Demon Snake. I already have the fire-type and wind-type demon nuclei. Ahhh... Ximen Ningning was shocked. Incredulous, she asked, How did you do it? You killed a Fiery Demon Wolf and a Wind Shadow Demon Snake with only an ordinary steel sword? Wind Shadow Demon Snakes are so powerful that even five Five Star Novice Martial Artists wouldnt be able to kill one. They might be killed instead! Yea, thats true. That bastard was really strong, Yang Dingtian said. He then recounted his entire encounter with the Wind Shadow Demon Snake. Ximen Ningnings delicate face turned pale after hearing his story. Youre really amazing. You even knew how to kill the Wind Shadow Demon Snake by using an Enchanted Orchid. Yang Dingtian was a little embarrassed by her praise. He quickly changed the topic and asked, By the way, whats going on? Why is someone from the Netherworld Sea here to see Yanyan? This is going to be a long story. Lets head back first, Ill heal you and tell you the story along the way, Ningning said. She then patted the Floating Rays back and said, Ray Ray, lets go home. Floating Ray let out a cry. It spread its wings and flew up towards Cloud Sky City. Despite the fact that it was carrying both of them, it was still fast and steady as it smoothly flew through the sky. ****** Back in the small cabin, Yang Dingtian was lying in a wooden barrel filled with medicinal soup. His naked upper body was exposed. There were many wounds, some of which had penetrated deeply to the bone. Whyre havent you taken the pills I gave you? Ximen Ningning admonished him in a neutral tone. She then poured the milky-white liquid on her hand and gently applied it to Yang Dingtians wounds. Yang Dingtian wasnt a tough guy. He immediately convulsed a bit from the pain, Initially, I thought it was such a waste for me to take the pills. But then, I ended up not having time to take them. I told you not to give me the high-grade pills. How can you think like this? Ximen NIngning again admonished him using a neutral tone. Even if she was lecturing him, her voice still remained soft. After her soft hand slathered the medicine over his wounds, they began to heat up as the medicine permeated his skin. The originally bloody red wounds immediately stitched themselves together and left only deep red scars. The medicine really was amazing! Oh, I have a gift for you. Yang Dingtian recalled the Enchanted Orchid and suddenly stood up in the barrel. No, dont stand up, Ximen Ningning said. But, it was too late. When Yang Dingtian stood up and lifted up his leg to step out, he suddenly realized that he was completely naked from the waist down. What was worse, his thing currently looked like it had a powerful fighting spirit. He immediately sat back down in the milky-white medicine and splashed a little bit onto Ningnings delicate face. Im, Im sorry. Yang Dingtian instinctively reached out to Ningnings face to wipe it off. What happened to my pants? Ximen Ningnings face immediately turned red. They were dissolved by the medicine. Then, she went outside and brought back a new pair of pants and a towel. She passed them to Yang Dingtian, turned around, and said, Ok, you can come out now. Yang Dingtian stepped out of the wooden barrel looking embarrassed. He took the towel and wiped off his body. The entire rooms atmosphere was very awkward with Ximen Ningning standing not far away from him. After putting on the pants, Yang Dingtian stared at his indecent crotch, wondering why it looked so vulgar even though he didnt have any wicked thoughts. Furthermore, most of his body was naked. He couldnt help but ask, Do you have bathrobes? No, you just soaked in medicine and cant wear any clothes, Ningning answered. It was way too rude for him to stay in his current state. Yang Dingtian quickly sat down on a chair and took out the parcel containing the Enchanted Orchid. Take it. I found it in the Red Wilderness today. Enchanted Orchid! Ximen Ningning was very surprised. This orchid is so rare and you managed to find it. Its just a flower. Compared to what you gave me, its nothing. After hearing Yang Dingtians words, Ximen Ningning expression suddenly became dull. She accepted the Enchanted Orchid and said gently, Thank you. Yang Dingtian could sense her unhappiness. He asked, Did I say something wrong? Ximen Ningning then replied, This was very dangerous. Please dont do it again. Also, I dont feel you owe me anything, okay? Yang Dingtian was slightly stunned but still nodded. Then, the two of them felt awkward again. He really wanted to ask why Ximen Ningning was so good to him. There was really no reason for her to treat him this well. He thought for a moment and ended up not asking. Sister Ningning, why were you so anxiously trying to get me back to Cloud Sky City? Whats going on with the person from the Netherworld Sea here to see Yanyan? Whats happening? Its Yanyans right to see whoever she wants, right? Of course its fine for Yanyan to see the person from the Netherworld Sea. However, she wants to go with that person to the Netherworld Sea. I really cant persuade her to stay, so I can only ask you to talk to her. What? Yang Dingtian asked nervously. Why would Yanyan follow that person back to the Netherworld Sea? Who is he? Why would she want to go with him? His name is Song Yu, a disciple of Netherworld Sea. Yanyan wants to go with him to treat her Xuan veins, Ximen Ningning explained. This matter is very complicated so listen to me carefully. The Netherworld Sea is one of the most mysterious places in the world. Its good and evil at the same time. Everyone has only one opinion of the place, which is that Netherworld Sea is almost omnipotent. Perhaps some people may dare offend the Three Sects and the Nine Factions, but there is absolutely nobody who wants to offend people from the Netherworld Sea. Because it is omnipotent, even dead people could be saved. Also, it is possible to kill an incomparably powerful person and leave no traces. Five years ago, Yanyan was involved in a huge incident. Her cultivation had been regressing ever since. In two to three years, she would have no more Xuan energy and would be as weak as an ordinary person. If there is any force in the world that could heal Yanyans destroyed Xuan veins, it would be the Netherworld Sea. Therefore, although there might be someone who dared offend the Three Sects and the Nine Factions, no one would want to mess with the Netherworld Sea. Since the Netherworld Sea was so powerful, there must be many people begging for their help to save someones life. The problem was that no one in the world knew where the Netherworld Sea was. Furthermore, the Netherworld Sea was absolutely ruthless and wouldnt save just anyone. Unless you offered them precious treasures, they wouldnt give you any help. Thus, Song Yu from the Netherworld Sea appearing in Cloud Sky City was something really difficult to fathom. Yang Dingtian was silent for a moment. If the Netherworld can heal Yanyans Xuan veins, thats definitely the best thing. Thus, its actually good news for Yanyan to be able to follow Song Yu to the Netherworld Sea. Little Tian, there is one sentence that is very famous. It states that you can never clear a debt to the Netherworld Sea even if you spent ten lifetimes. I dont know why Song Yu took the initiative to come to Cloud Sky City to see Yanyan. But, what I do know is that if the Netherworld Sea wants to heal Yanyan, we have to pay a huge price for them to do so. Yang Dingtian thought for a while. If Yanyan can be healed, then it is worth paying the huge price. Ningning shook her head. You dont understand. The price they would request will be unacceptable to almost anyone, Moreover, Im a Pill Refiner. Im very clear about the state of Yanyans Xuan veins. Theres absolutely no hope for her to recover her previous cultivation. In short, I dont trust their ability to heal her. Is that Song Yu still in Cloud Sky City? Where is he staying? Yang Dingtian asked. Hes staying at the VIP Pavilion, Ningning answered. Sister Ningning, can you provide me one set of clothes? I need to see him right now. I need to know if he can really heal Yanyan. If he can, I need to know the price, Yang Dingtian said. Then, Yang Dingtian stood up and found that his crotch was still erect. He immediately got annoyed. How can this be? Its because of the medicine. Ningnings face turned red. Ill fetch you your clothes. Then, she walked to the cabinet and procured a set of clothes for Yang Dingtian. It was obvious that the clothes had been sewn by Ningning herself. Sister Ningning ... Suddenly, a soft voice came in from the outside. Yang Dingtian and Ximen Ningning were both a little shocked because it was Ximen Yanyans voice. S?a??h th? Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Ximen Ningnings delicate face immediately turned pale. She whispered to Yang Dingtian, Little Tian, quickly go hide. Dont let Yanyan know that you are here, especially looking like this ... Yang Dingtian looked down. He was almost naked. Furthermore, his crotch was still high-spirited. If his appearance were seen by others, it would be difficult for them to not misunderstand. If he was really discovered, there would be nothing he could do to clear his name. Out there, Ximen Yanyans footsteps got closer and closer. Ximen Ningning was anxiously looking for somewhere to stow Yang Dingtian away. However, her room was so simple. There was no place to hide. Oh, right here. Ningning opened a cabinet door and got Yang Dingtian to hide inside. Ximen Yanyan entered the room before Ningning was able to close the cabinet door. Sister, what are you doing? Ive been yelling for you but you didnt respond. Yanyan looked curiously at Ximen Ningning. Chapter 57: Yanyan’s mind! Meeting Song Yu Chapter 57: Yanyans mind! Meeting Song YuTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Ningning hurriedly took out two pieces of her innerwear from the cabinet before quickly closing the door. I was about to enter the bath. At that moment, Yang Dingtian could smell the unique fragrance that only girls emanated because the cabinet he was hiding in was filled with Ximen Ningnings clothes. Furthermore, most of them were pieces of innerwear. Do you have anything to discuss with me at this late hour? Ningning asked in a soft tone. It isnt that late. I used to sleep in your bed when I couldnt fall asleep in the middle of the night, Yanyan rebutted. Id miss your big-white-sheep body and would want to hug you in bed while completely naked. Isnt that right? Ningnings face turned red immediately. She replied softly, What are you talking about? Nonsense! Weve done even more intimate stuff, okay? Yanyan continued. Its too late to start feeling embarrassed. Alright, lets not discuss this anymore. Ningning was extremely ashamed because there was a man hidden in this room. She was normally so wise and dignified that it would really be too embarrassing to have all this overheard by some man... Okay, back on topic, what did you want to say? Im going to bathe, Ningning said. Great, lets bath together. Yanyan suddenly approached to undress Ningning. Ningning immediately evaded her. Stop it. Youre already married. Whyre you still acting this crazy? After hearing the word married, Yanyan trembled a little bit and stopped trying to lay her hands on Ningning. She sat down on the bed and gently sighed. Ningning stepped forward and sat next to Yanyan. Of course, it is really inevitable for there to be arguments between husband and wife. However, how could you say such ruthless words? Plus, Yang Dingtian only wanted to... Sister, can you please stop saying his name in front of me? Yanyan said. I really dont want to discuss him. Please? Yanyan... Ningning frowned. He is still your husband! Sister Ningning, I came here because I needed joy and freedom, so can you just stop saying his name, please? Yanyan said. After hearing her speak, Ningning suddenly recalled that Yang Dingtian was still hiding in the cabinet. Ningnings face turned pale when she realized how hurtful it must be for him to hear Yanyan say such ruthless words. Ningning let out a long sigh. Yanyan, I know that you think you put in a lot of effort and sacrificed a lot. Am I right? Not waiting for Yanyan to answer, Ningning continued, Youre wrong. What a man needs the most is always his wifes understanding and support, not her wealth and sacrifice. Each time you give and sacrifice, it looks great on the surface it is not so in reality. In fact, it hurts him. It seems like youre constantly reminding him that he is incompetent. S?a?ch* Th? N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yanyan, your kind of selflessness is no different from Dongfang Binglings selfishness. Both hurt others. Furthermore, your version hurts even more. Regarding the harm caused by the selfish Dongfang Bingling, Yang Dingtian could at least be angry and hateful. However, the hurt caused by your selflessness can only be borne gently by him. He would have to bear the pain on his own. Sister Ningning, you sound like his confidante. He has said a similar thing before, Yanyan said. Yanyan, he is your husband. This fact wont change. Do you want to be happy in your life? If you do, then try to love, support, and understand him, Ningning advised. The most important thing is that I can feel that he is a man worthy of your love. Happy? I lost all expectations of happiness when I married him. But, what can I do? This is my life. Its destined. This was all decreed by fate when the incident five years ago happened. At this moment, Ningning could only remain silent since she worried that the damage suffered by Yang Dingtian would only increase if Yanyan continued speaking. Sister, this would be the last night we can stay together. Do you still want to continue this? Yanyan asked. Ximen Ningning was shocked. What do you mean? Have you decided to go to the Netherworld Sea? Yes, Ive already decided to leave tomorrow, Yanyan affirmed. I have no hope for him. I can only rely on myself to protect Cloud Sky City. In the Netherworld Sea, perhaps they can heal my shattered Xuan veins and bring back my talent from five years ago. Yang Dingtian once said that we can only rely on ourselves. No one else will stand for us. I agree. Ximen Ningning trembled. Only five days. Werent you going to wait for him for another five days? He hunted two demon nuclei today and almost lost his life. But, you dont even give him a chance to prove himself? To hunt five demon nuclei to make a breakthrough. This is all in his imagination. Sister Ningning, you have more knowledge than me. Have you ever heard about this method to break through? Yanyan asked. Ningning shook her head gently. She really had never heard of it before. From what I know, he is currently just an enlightener with no Xuan energy, Ximen Yanyan continued. He has already entered his own world. I cant wake him up. I tried my best. Also, lets assume that he can break through after collecting all five demon nuclei. Do you think that he can hunt ice-type demon beasts with his ability as an enlightener? Do you think he can hunt electric-type demon beasts? Ningning was again left speechless because there was no possible way for him to do it. He had almost lost his life hunting fire-type demon and wind-type demon beasts. Even though he will fail, you should still wait five days for him to do so. Even if everything is only his imagination, you should let him wake up on his own before you leave, Ximen Ningning argued. But the person from the Netherworld Sea is leaving tomorrow, Yanyan rebutted. Theres no one who knows where the Netherworld Sea is. If I missed this opportunity, I dont think there will be another chance for me to find them. So, youd rather believe in the illusory Netherworld Sea instead of your husband? Ningning asked. Ive given him too many chances, Yanyan said. Whats more, is there anyone who doesnt trust the Netherland Seas capabilities? I think they are more reliable compared to ... Indeed, there was nobody who had the ability to see through the Netherworld Seas capabilities. The Netherworld Sea was such a unique and mysterious land. There were rumors that said they could even bring back the dead. Ningning took a deep breath and asked, Are you sure about this? Yes, Yanyan said. You and my mom are the only people I cant let go. Im spending the first half of midnight with you and the other half with her. Ill be leaving for the Netherworld Sea in the morning. Then, you can leave now... Ningning stood up. If you choose to leave Cloud Sky City, then dont call me sister anymore. If you can choose to give up on your husband, then I wont recognize you as my sister. Sister Ningning ... Yanyan was very shocked. Weve been so close since we were children, but now you choose to give up on me just because of this guy? Thats right! Because I choose to believe him. I admire him, Ningning said. From the first time the two of you argued, I already took his side. I think hes doing the right thing. Yanyan was totally stunned. Then, she couldnt help but burst into tears. After staring at Ningning for a while, she said, Alright, then please help me take good care of him. Take care, sister! Then, Yanyan ran out of the room in tears. Wont you see Yang Dingtian one last time? Ximen Ningning shouted. Yanyan stopped running and turned. Its better for me not to see him. Then, she continued running. Sister Ningning, I need you to do a favor for me. Apologize to him for me. After Yanyan ran out of the room, Ningning turned and collapsed on her bed, crying in depression. Yang Dingtian then exited the cabinet and walked towards the bed. He slightly trembled when he saw Ningnings shoulders trembling non-stop. Yang Dingtian reached out his hand and patted her soft shoulder. Ningning turned and hugged Yang Dingtian hard while sobbing. Im sorry. Im sorry... Yang Dingtian gently patted her soft back. He was confused regarding why Ningning was apologizing to him. However, he said nothing and continued to comfort her. After crying for a while, Ningning left his embrace and looked at him with her teary eyes. Yanyan is making a mistake. I hope you wont blame her. Yang Dingtian shook his head. Like what I said before, Ill never blame her no matter what she does. Those words were truly from my heart. Ningning suddenly sat up straight. Yang Dingtian, promise me. Stop her from going to the Netherworld Sea. Yang Dingtian thought for a second and said, If the people from the Netherworld Sea are able to heal her, then this is really would be a good thing for her. Its not as simple as that. The Netherworld Sea is not necessarily a neutral party. It may turn out to be hell for Yanyan, Ximen Ningning said. You promised foster father to protect her. If she goes to the Netherworld Sea, how will you protect her if anything happens? Yang Dingtian asked his master in his heart, Master, shall I stop Yanyan? Do you have any information about the Netherworld Sea? Dongfang Niemie was silent for a moment. Lets just say that if you owe the Netherworld Sea anything, youll never be able to clear the debt even over ten lifetimes. Theres nobody who dares to not pay them back. I know what should I do now, Yang Dingtian announced. ****** Yang Dingtian didnt go after Yanyan. Instead, he went to the VIP Pavilion to see the person from the Netherworld Sea, Song Yu. The VIP Pavilion was located at the top of a cliff. It was built by Cloud Sky City to serve their noble guests. Yang Dingtian ascended the cliff and entered the pavilion. He encountered Song Yu. This was a young man with delicate features. He was so handsome that he looked like he was carved from jade. He had a head of long black hair and a strong temperament. He wore a green gown, and his long hair casually draped over his shoulders. He was proud yet natural, elegant and unconventional. Yang Dingtian, Yang Dingtian bowed while introducing himself. Song Yu. Why are you here so late at night? Song Yu calmly asked. I heard that your place can heal my wifes Xuan veins? Yang Dingtian asked. Your wife? Song Yu showed an uncomprehending expression. Ximen Yanyan, Yang Dingtian replied. She is your wife? But, I saw that she was still a virgin, Song Yu said. He was actually so rude as to comment on Yang Dingtians wife status in front of him. Its none of your business, Yang Dingtian said. You still havent answered my question. Can my wifes Xuan veins be healed? Chapter 58: Fight! Chapter 58: Fight!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Thats right, I have 50% confidence, Song Yu answered. Because of fate and the huge price we paid, we managed to acquire a small piece of Naga Xuan Vein Crystal from a grave. This Xuan Vein Crystal is a treasure that can almost completely reshape ones Xuan veins. Since it is so precious, why are you willing to give it to Ximen Yanyan? Yang Dingtian asked. Song Yu answered, Because we, the Netherworld Sea, owe a favor to Lord Ximen. When Miss Ximen was injured, he rushed to the Netherworld Sea to ask for help. Unfortunately, we could do nothing at the time. Recently, however, we were fortunate enough to get a Xuan Vein Crystal from the Naga, so our elder sent me here to Cloud Sky City. Only 50%? Yang Dingtian asked. If you fail, what will the consequences be? It depends on the severity of the side effects. A minor consequence would be the breaking of the Xuan vein, while a major one would be the explosion of the Sea of Energy, Song Yu replied. I heard that Netherworld Seas favors are very costly. If you manage to heal Yanyan, what is the price well need to pay? Yang Dingtian asked. Song Yu glanced at Yang Dingtian and said, Your wife. Yang Dingtians temple immediately throbbed. He asked coldly, Be more specific. After Ms. Ximen recovers, I can give her ten years of freedom and let her finish her own business. Song Yu took a sip of tea. After ten years, her freedom, her everything will belong to us. As expected, the price is so expensive, Yang Dingtian said. Of course, the prices of Netherworld Sea services are always the most expensive. Furthermore, theres nobody else who can heal Miss Ximen. Ok, then Im sorry. We refuse to pay the price. You can go back now, Yang Dingtian said. Song Yus rolled his proud eyes and said, You dont have the authority to make this decision, and were offering this opportunity because of Lord Ximens pleading. Otherwise, I would never have come to Cloud Sky City. Of course I can decide. Im her husband, Yang Dingtian said. You can go back now with the favor you owe Lord Ximen. We dont need it. As for the Naga Xuan Vein Crystal, you keep it for yourself. After saying his piece, Yang Dingtian didnt wait for a reply and left immediately. The next thing he needed to do was to persuade Ximen Yanyan. This would be much harder. Yanyan was so stubborn that only her dad was able to control her. However, Ximen Wuya was gone now, which left no one who was to able control her. Yang Dingtian was no exception. Before going to see her, Yang Dingtian went and got two bottles of wine. He completely emptied one bottle and immediately felt hot and a little drunk. But, it was still not enough, so he immediately finished the second bottle as well. Then, all the blood in his body started boiling. His mind became full of strong impulses to argue. He arrived at the building where Yanyan lived and knocked on the door hard. It was already in the middle of the night. Ximen Yanyan was sitting alone on her bed in a daze. She heard a hurried knock on the door from outside and immediately felt annoyed. She frowned in displeasure. Whos there? Me! Yang Dingtian replied. He then opened the door without waiting and walked in. Yanyan was a little shocked and turned her face away. Why are you here? I dont want to see you. Are you leaving tomorrow? Yang Dingtian asked. Yes! Yanyan answered coldly. s?a??h th? ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. To go to the Netherworld Sea with Song Yu? Yang Dingtian asked. Exactly. Ximen Yanyan then asked, Anything else? If not, then you can leave now. Im going to bed. Yang Dingtian walked in front of her. You dont need to go the Netherworld Sea. I already rejected him and told him to go ahead. Ximen Yanyan was shocked. She stood up from her bed, staring at Yang Dingtian. You dare? Ive already done it, Yang Dingtian said. The wood has already become a boat. Yanyan instantly got mad and shouted, What power do you have to do this? This is my matter. How can you decide this for me? Im your husband. I have the right to do this, Yang Dingtian loudly shouted back. Husband? Ximen Yanyan sneered. The husband who caused everyone to ridicule me? The husband who brought me such humiliation? Who, who humiliated you? Yang Dingtian demanded. Tang Xin? I will teach him a lesson later. Ximen Yanyan then smelled the wine fumes in his breath and finally understood why was his tone was different from before. She was annoyed and amused at the same time. Yang Dingtian, what else can you do except brag and make empty promises? You sent Song Yu away. So what? Nobody else knows where the Netherworld Sea is, but my dad has told me the general direction before. I will go myself. Ximen Yanyan took out a beast-skin bag from her bed frame and walked straight towards the door. Im not going to wait until tomorrow. Ill leave right now to get Song Yu. You dare? Yang Dingtian grabbed her arm. Why would I not? Ximen Yanyan asked. You dared stay in Ximen Ningnings room in the middle of the night while naked. You dared hide inside her cabinet. What else would I not dare? Yang Dingtian was stunned. He didnt expect Yanyan to have actually known while pretending not to. You knew I was hiding in the cabinet. Then, why did you say those ruthless words? Yang Dingtian shouted loudly. I said them on purpose because I knew you were there, Yanyan replied loudly. Yang Dingtian was again stunned. Do you feel guilty now? Ximen Yanyan coldly said, I really was blind. Youre not only weak but also lack moral character. She was only helping me heal my wounds. I had bathed in the medicinal soup, Yang Dingtian said. Then, why did you two feel guilty when I went? You even hid from me. Ximen Yanyan sneered. Alright, you dont have to say anything else. You can do anything you want. Even if you sleep together, I will not comment. Release your hand now, or else Im going to attack you. I wont let go of you. Yang Dingtian let out a deep sigh. Just for five days. Cant you just wait for me? If I really cannot break through after five days, I wont stop you from leaving! Thats right. I just dont want to wait, Ximen Yanyan shouted. Her delicate lips were not only filled with fragrance but also wine fumes. She was actually also drunk. It seemed that the couple was destined to fight as both of them had become drunk first. Hearing that she was already starting to become unreasonable, Yang Dingtian grabbed her arms hard. You need to wait. You need to wait for five days. Tonight, youre not allowed to step outside the door. Humph... Yanyan sneered. How are you going to stop me? Youre not even a Novice Martial Artist. Yang Dingtian, Im not looking down on you, but theres one thing Ive been wanting to say to you for a long time. Starting from the very beginning, you only knew how to brag. Whether you were facing Dongfang Bingling or Tang Li, the only thing you did was shamelessly boast. Theres nothing else you can do. I would like to see now how are you going to stop me. I would like to see what else you can do besides bragging. Yanyans words had really gotten under Yang Dingtians skin. He had just drunk a lot of wine and had long since lost his mind. Well said. Well said... Yang Dingtian trembled. Sure enough, the old saying describes things perfectly. A woman will endanger ones house if one has not beaten her in three days. Ximen Yanyan, Ill let you know today that Im not only good at bragging. Im also an expert at beating my wife. After saying that, Yang Dingtians alcohol-filled brain prompted him to suddenly slam forward and grabbed Yanyan by the back of her neck. He threw her to the floor like a tiger, flipped her face down, and sat on her little waist. Then, he raised his hand and slapped her plump and fat hips hard. Papapa... Yanyans soft and elastic buttocks were beaten. The crisp sounds of impact could be heard. Ximen Yanyan, Im telling you right now. Ive also been tolerating you for a long time as well. My hand had long since become itchy. Ive wanted to spank you for a while now. Yang Dingtian was scolding her loudly while slapping her butt hard. It was not enough for him to slap Yanyans butt with her clothes on. He directly took off her pants, revealing her white and plump buttocks. Yang Dingtian smacked them ferociously. Papapa... One slap after another. The white and plump buttocks immediately turned red. They were like waves rippling through water, undulating and fragrant. Who will let you go? Who will let you go? Ill beat you and see if you still want to go. Just wait for me for another five days... Ximen Yanyan was totally stunned during the entire process, from her being thrown to the ground to being spanked to being stripped of her pants. All of these events struck her like lightning, causing her to not be able to react at all. Besides the fact that she had never been beaten since she was a child, the Yang Dingtian before all this was so gentle and considerate to her. The two of them had respected each other, and Yang Dingtian had never even said a rude word to her. But now, he actually had her pinned to the ground and was spanking her ruthlessly. Her brain had short-circuited. She would never imagine she would be caught in such a scene, which was why she had blanked out and forgotten to respond. Two minutes later, she finally woke up and shouted, Yang Dingtian, lets do this. Then, she violently turned her body and grabbed Yang Dingtians ears hard. She rolled over his body and pressed him to the ground. Then, she started punching and kicking him. Yang Dingtian let out a loud scream and once again pushed Yanyan to the floor. He started spanking her viciously again. Yanyan struggled desperately, her two hands clinging to Yang Dingtians collar while he kicked his stomach with her feet. At the moment, the two of them were unreservedly beating each other. The battlefield had changed from the floor to the middle of the room and then to the bed. Yang Dingtian only used one method to beat Yanyan, which was pressing her to the ground and spanking her. Ximen Yanyan also focused on doing one thing, which was using everything. She punched, kicked, scratched, and bit. However, the two of them had forgotten to use martial arts or any weapons. Just like a country couple, they used the most primitive and savage ways to hit each other while on the ground. Chapter 59: Together Chapter 59: TogetherTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales About ten minutes later, Yang Dingtians shirt had been completely torn apart. Yanyans nails had left countless scratch marks on his body. His face had been punched a couple of times, causing his eyes to be swollen. Eventually, he managed to pin Yanyan to the ground as she was ultimately still a girl with weaker endurance and strength. She struggled to get up, but her waist was pinned. He gave her curvy got a couple more spanks. Bang Bang Bang... Youre acting out without beating.... Bang Bang Bang... Still want to leave? Do you still want to leave? Do you still want to leave? Bang Bang Bang... Just wait for five days when I ask you to. Dont make me convince you the hard way.... Yanyans pants had been pulled down to her thighs, exposing her entire meaty butt to the air. Her fair buttocks that looked like a large round platter were red and swollen. The spankings had left countless palm marks on them. Yanyan has used up all of her energy. She could only keep resisting by punching Yang Dingtians body madly. Yang Dingtian, Im going all out with you. Im going all out with you! Yang Dingtian, how dare you beat me.....? Im going to kill you. I will kill you.... Yanyan used the last bit of her energy to flip over, grab Yang Dingtians ears, and continue beating him. At the moment, Yanyans face was completely red due to her embarrassment. She looked like an angry beast that had a strong character and was filled with wildness. Her rosy little mouth was even more beautiful now. Her face had become even more beautiful, her shyness and wildness making her even more tempting and attractive. Yang Dingtian, Im going all out with you... Yanyan used both of her legs to kick him while she grabbed his ear with one hand and punched his face with the other hand. This woman was extremely violent when it came to fighting. She specifically aimed for the face. Ximen Yanyan, Im also going all out with you, Yang Dingtian shouted as he used all of his energy to grab both of her arms, pressed her to the ground, and kissed her red lips. Yanyan was shocked as if struck by the lighting. She closed her tiny mouth and her delicate face struggled to get free. Yang Dingtian let go of her hands and hugged her delicate face. Then, he opened his mouth and sucked her cherry lips in. Uhh, Uhh... Yanyan kept punching Yang Dingtians back. Yang Dingtian instinctively raised his legs, which hit Yanyans softest and most sensitive part between her legs. Ohh... Yanyan moaned as she trembled and became numb, instantly losing all of her energy. Yang Dingtian held her face and opened her tiny, tightly closed mouth. Then, he kissed it passionately, sticking his tongue into her tiny mouth, exploring it as he sucked her lips the way a bee sucked nectar. Ximen Yanyan would not put up with this. After the numbness passed, she continued to struggle as she wasnt a person who gave up easily. Yang Dingtian caught her tiny tongue and suck it into his mouth. He used his teeth to bite it and suck at it madly. S~?a??h the N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Three minutes.... Five minutes..... Yanyan gradually lost her energy and was gasping for air. She had to breathe in through her nose as she was being kissed violently. It was as if her entire body was electrified. Her brain felt like it had a stroke, and all of her senses were a blur. Then, she was pressed down hard by Yang Dingtian, who passionately kissed her and sucked at her lips. Her entire body had no energy left. She could only tremble. Yang Dingtians hand moved down as he kissed. He grabbed Yanyans attractive butt tightly, touching it as intimately as if were his own body. Instinctively, his hands explored the area between her legs. He pinched that fiery and humid part a little harder. Ah... Suddenly, Yang Dingtian felt pain on his tongue as Yanyan bit him. Instantly, his tongue tasted salty, bleeding from the bite of the wild cat under him. Then, Yanyan struggled ferociously and escaped from Yang Dingtian. Before he could even stand up, she scampered away from him with her arms and legs along the ground until she was under the table. She put on her pants and grabbed a stool to use as a weapon. Dont come over! Yang Dingtian wiped off the blood on the edge of his mouth and walked towards Yanyan, who was hiding under the table. Dont come over, or I wont be polite with you, warned Yanyan as she raised the stool. Yang Dingtian crawled under the table with her. Yanyans stool was about to slam into him, but she stopped it halfway. Then, Yang Dingtian took the opportunity to grab both of her hands. You, you stop touching me! Yanyan shouted and then closed her tiny mouth up tightly. Yang Dingtian picked her up by placing one of his arms behind her back and the other beneath her thighs. Yanyan instinctively shut her mouth and held onto her pants tightly, worried that Yang Dingtian might try to take them off again. Yang Dingtian laughed as he carried her to the bed and laid her down. At the moment, Yanyans hair and clothes were a complete mess. She looked exactly like a wild cat. Take a good shower and have a good sleep. Wait five days for me, Yang Dingtian said gently. I will try my best these five days not to disappoint you. Hng! Yanyan turned her face away. She did not promise him or reject him. Yang Dingtian touched her delicate face and said gently, I will make myself stronger to protect you for the rest of your life. After saying that, he turned and left. Suddenly, Yanyan said, Remember, five days. I will leave Cloud Sky City in five days. I will rely on myself to complete my fathers last wish. I will sell half of my life to the Netherworld Sea. Yang Dingtian turned around and smiled. I will come see you tomorrow. Dont come. Come only once youve fulfilled your promise, Yanyan said hurriedly. I dont want to see you tomorrow, the day after, or the day after that ........ At the moment, her heart was in complete disarray. ****** What happened to you? Ximen Ningning was shocked when she saw Yang Dingtian. At the moment, his face was swollen. His clothes were torn and soaked with countless blood stains. It looked like hed just come back from the wild. I fought with Yanyan, Yang Dingtian said. Then, I was forced out, and since I have something to ask you, I came over. Ximen Ningning was shocked. Dont tell me you beat Yanyan until she looked like this as well? How is that possible? Yang Dingtian said. I only beat her butt. Spanking her isnt considered domestic abuse but lecturing my wife. Ximen Ningning covered her mouth as she laughed. Youre pretty smart since you chose the best way to convince her. Yang Dingtian asked, Youre not angry that I fought with Yanyan? Why would I be angry? Foster father and mother had always fought on and off. Sometimes, Foster fathers face was swollen while foster mother needed a cushion to sit on during dinner. Ximen Ningning once again prepared an herbal bath for Yang Dingtian and applied medicine to his wounds after his bath. Finally, she made a bed for him and brought him new clothes as well. ...... Yang Dingtian asked, Sister Ningning, where is the lowest ranked gold-eating beast located in the wild? Ximen Ningning said gently, There are lots of gold-eating beasts in the red forest, more than twenty-nine species. The lowest ranking is the black nematode found in caves. These black nematodes dont gather in large groups. A group will probably only have a few hundred of them. A few hundred? Yang Dingtian was shocked. Are you sure you must hunt it by yourself? Ningning asked. Yang Dingtian nodded. Otherwise, the demon nucleus will lose its ability. Then, I wont let you go. Ningnings voice was still extremely gentle but also determined. Black nematodes are already the lowest ranking gold-eating beast, but no matter how many treasures I give you, you will definitely not be able to escape from a cave filled with them. These nematodes could not be penetrated by guns or knives. In fact, even if a Xuan warrior were to enter the cave, he might also die inside. After hearing about the grave danger they posed, Yang Dingtian started to tremble. So, I will definitely not allow you to go, Ximen Ningning said strictly. Then, where can I find lower ranking gold-eating beasts that gather in smaller groups? Theres no such place, Ningning replied. Yang Dingtian was at a loss. Among the three remaining demon nuclei, the gold-type demon nucleus was already the easiest to hunt. But, it seems like it was already impossible for him to acquire a gold-type demon nucleus, which makes getting ice and electric-types even more impossible. Could it be that I have to give up now? Impossible, of course I cant give up. Little Tian, dont panic. After I heard that you needed to hunt down all types of demon nuclei, I sent out twenty birds that could talk to people to scout. I made them fly back to report to me no matter if they found anything or not. Eighteen of them have come back, leaving just two more. Lets sit here together and wait. Maybe the remaining two birds will bring us some good news. Oh, Yang Dingtian replied as he sat down on the chair. Little Tian, even if we manage to find low ranked gold-eating beasts that group in low numbers, what about ice and electric-types? Ningning asked. Yang Dingtian said, Lets not think about ice and electric-types. Lets just hunt for a gold-type first. If God is willing to help me, there will eventually be a way. As long as he gives me a way, I will follow the path no matter how hard it is. Then, Yang Dingtian asked, Sister Ningning, are there really no ice-type beasts in the entire Northwest mainland? Ningning thought for a moment and shook her head. Its impossible to find ice-type beasts in this fiery mainland. The closest icy mainland is tens of thousands of miles across the sea. As for electric-type beast, it could only be found in the chaotic mainland that is hundreds of thousands of miles away. Yang Dingtian fell silent. Around ten minutes later, Ningning stood up and said, My trained birds have returned. Then, she walked towards the window and opened her palm. A beautiful red bird landed on her palm. It touched her hands with its tiny head and shook its head in disappointment towards her. It was obvious that this bird did not bring back any good news. Its okay..., Ningning said as she took out a tiny pill and placed it on her hand. The bird seemed to be a little shy but eventually swallowed the pill. Leave now. Your family must be worried about you, Ningning said. The red bird chirped for a while and then flew back to its home. Ningning turned around and shook her head towards Yang Dingtian. Sorry, there wasnt any good news. Its okay, Yang Dingtian replied. At that moment, another bird came chirping. It was a purple-colored talking bird. It didnt land on Ningnings palm but on her shoulder. Then, it chirped beside into her ear as if it were talking. Ningning tilted her head to listen and relayed what it said to Yang Dingtian at the same time. It says that it flew towards the west side of Cloud Sky Citys territory and heard no news about rare low-rank gold-eating beasts. Yang Dingtians heart became cold again. Ningning continued, But, it wasnt satisfied so it flew towards the deep magma and finally found something. Yang Dingtian raised his eyebrows. Ningning said with a shocked expression, Not only are there low-rank gold-eating beasts there, but there is also even an ice-type beast. Yang Dingtian was stunned. Didnt she just say that the entire Northwest mainland is fiery, that it was impossible for it to have an ice-type beast? But, he couldnt care about that at the moment, so he quickly asked, Where is this place? Within an abandoned Devil Silver Ore cave. However, this cave is in the territory of the Northwest Qin family! Chapter 60: Gold-type, Ice-type Chapter 60: Gold-type, Ice-typeTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Ningning continued, There used to be a lot of Devil Silver ore in this mine, but it has been exhausted after decades of mining. A large number of gold-type beasts have since either been killed or left, leaving behind some extremely weak gold-type beasts that rely on the residue of Devil Silver ore to sustain their lives. Then, this would be the ideal place to hunt for gold-type beasts. Ximen Ningning said, That abandoned mine is very deep, and there are winding paths that are dozens of miles long. Yet, there should be more than a few dozen gold-type beasts in there, and their distribution is very sparse. As long as you dont go too deep, there shouldnt be much danger. Based on what Ximen Ningning said, this place should almost be the perfect place for Yang Dingtian to hunt gold-type beasts by himself. Is this abandoned mine far away? Yang Dingtian asked. Not far away. Its 800 miles northwest of Cloud Sky City, Ximen Ningning answered. However, the only problem is that this abandoned mine belongs to the Northwest Qin family. Outsiders cannot enter, and if we got caught entering, there will be a lot of trouble, especially for you. The Northwest Qin family could be said to be the life-or-death enemy of Cloud Sky City. The fight between these two parties has never stopped. After Ximen Wuyas passing, the Northwest Qin family even revealed their conspiracy to take over Cloud Sky City. At the moment, this abandoned Devil Silver Ore Mine was located in Northwest Qin family territory. Northwest Qin City is over three thousand miles away from us, but this abandoned ore mine that is only 800 miles away is also part of their territory. Their territory is actually this big? Yang Dingtian asked in shock. Of course, their territory is over 3000 miles across. Our Cloud Sky City has been in decline for too long, while the Northwest Qin family has been strong for centuries, which is why their territory is two to three times the size of ours. Our Cloud Sky City has only managed to expand over 1000 miles as everything else has already been absorbed by the Northwest Qin family. If so, this abandoned ore mine that seemed to be the perfect place for Yang Dingtian to hunt for gold-type beasts was also a danger to him. Northwest Qin family was currently eyeing Cloud Sky City, and their young master was interested in Yanyan. Thus, they must hold extreme hatred towards Yang Dingtian. Is the ore mine being guarded all the time? Is it a Northwest Qin family restricted area? asked Yang Dingtian. Thats not the case. The ore mine has been abandoned for many years, and no one cares. But, that place is located on the border separating our territories. There are often many secret alarms set up, said Ximen Ningning. Putting all of that aside, Yang Dingtian asked, Sister Ningning, the Northwest Mainland is fiery. How could there be an ice-type beast? You said that there were also ice-type beasts in the abandoned ore mine. How is that possible? I was also shocked and curious as this should be impossible, Ningning mused. My talking bird told me that it heard that ice-type beasts appeared in this area around a month ago. At that time, a huge earthquake occurred in the abandoned Devil Silver Ore Mine and opened up a huge gap within. A bunch of unfreezing water emerged, which then formed a small pond. The water is colder than ice but will never freeze. In this unfreezing pond, few ice-type beasts have taken up residence. Does it mean that these few ice-type beasts are the only of their kind in the Northwest Mainland? Yang Dingtian asked. Ximen Ningning replied, You can say that. No matter how dangerous it is, I must definitely go then. Yang Dingtian asked in his heart, Master, what is the average temperature of the unfreezing water? According to the calculations used in your world, it should be approximately negative eighty degrees celsius, Dongfang Niemie answered. Those without eight-rank Yang-type Xuan veins will not be able to withstand it. But, it is really strange. How is it possible for unfreezing water to emerge there? This is obviously a fire-nature Mainland. Dongfang Niemies tone expressed not only shock but also anxiety. Is unfreezing water very rare? asked Yang Dingtian. It is extremely rare in a fire-nature Mainland, so much so that it is almost impossible for it to form, unless.... Dongfang Niemie continued excitedly, Unless somewhere deep down in the ground, some sort of extremely high-heat-energy material formed. Over centuries or millennia, it absorbed the heat energy from its surroundings, causing the water around it to become colder and colder. Even so, the water couldnt freeze into ice due to some extraordinary reasons. Hence, unfreezing water. Yang Dingtians heart trembled, and he suddenly thought of a possibility. Then, he trembled and asked, Master, what devours a lot of heat energy as it forms? Could it be...? Yang Dingtian thought of Bloody Black Gold as he wanted to make a soul sword and needed a lot of that material. It was almost the most difficult thing for a genius to find. Whats more, the forging of a soul sword required a lot of Bloody Black Gold. There are many things that need to swallow up a lot of heat, but there are only a few that are capable of swallowing such a large amount that unfreezing water is formed. One of them is... Bloody Black Gold, but this possibility is still extremely small. There is a higher probability that it is some kind of fire gem or fire ore. Yang Dingtian asked in his heart, Why is the probability of it being Bloody Black Gold so low? Dongfang Niemie answered, Because the formation of unfreezing water proves that there is an extremely large ore vein. You would never find such a large vein of Bloody Black Gold. The largest Bloody Black Gold ore vein that Ive ever seen only contained over forty pieces. The largest Bloody Black Gold ore vein that Ive heard about only had 99 pieces. Yang Dingtian reined in his excitement. Whether or not there was Bloody Black Gold beneath the unfreezing pond, he still had to go to this abandoned ore mine. Sister Ningning, are many people aware of this matter? Yang Dingtian asked. About the existence of ice-type beasts and the unfreezing water that emerged inside the abandoned ore mine? There shouldnt be. At least, no one should realize it in the short term, she answered. Then, Ive decided to go to the abandoned ore mine, Yang Dingtian declared. Ningning stared at Yang Dingtian for some time before nodding. I will go with you to help you avoid all of the Northwest Qin familys hidden alarms. Okay! he agreed. You sleep first then. Ill prepare some things, and well depart early in the morning tomorrow. ************** In the morning, Yang Dingtian and Ximen Ningning flew to the west towards the abandoned ore mine on top of a Floating Ray. Though it was carrying two people and lots of other things, the Floating Ray was still light and agile. It flew quickly and steadily through the air. Little Tian, have you heard of Qin Shaobai? Ximen Ningning suddenly asked. s?a??h th? N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtians heart jumped as he remembered that he had killed Yang Qi. Ive heard of him before, Yang Dingtian replied. He is the third son of the Qin familys Lord and is Qin Huaiyus younger brother. After hearing the hostile way Yang Dingtian spoke about Qin Huaiyu, Ningning couldnt help but laugh. He sounded hostile because this Qin Huaiyu was here to get Yanyan to be his wife. Correct, but apart from Qin Shaobai being the third son of the Qin family, he has another identity, Ximen Ningning continued. He is Yang Yan Elders grandson. When foster father went and wiped out the opposing forces of the Yang family, Yang Yan Elder betrothed Yang Shishi, his daughter, to the Qin Family Lord as his second wife. At first, Qin Shaobai had no useful direct relation. But, a few days ago, the Qin Family Lord divorced Yang Shishi and also banished Qin Shaobai from the Northwest Qin Family. Qin Shaobai changed his name to Shaobai and is about to arrive at Cloud Sky City. Do you know what this means? Qin Shaobai is coming back to fight for the position of Cloud Sky City Lord, Yang Dingtian answered. Seeing his calm expression, Ningning was a little shocked. Thats right, Qin Shaobai is back to seize the position of Cloud Sky City Lord. Internally, he has the support of Yang Yan Elder. Externally, he has the support of the Northwest Qin Family, which is why he will be your greatest competitor in the fight for the position of Cloud Sky City Lord. What is his cultivation? asked Yang Dingtian. Eight Star Xuan Warrior, Ximen Ningning answered. And he is merely seventeen years old. Yang Dingtian asked, How does he compare to Yanyans cultivation five years ago? A little weaker, Ximen Ningning answered. Yanyan has the greatest Xuan Vein talent in Cloud Sky City in centuries. If it were not for that incident that happened five years ago, there is a high possibility that she would have become the first female Lord of Cloud Sky City. Yang Dingtian pondered for a moment. What actually happened five years ago? Yanyan didnt tell you? Yang Dingtian shook his head. She didnt say, but every time I mentioned that incident, her expression showed her pain. An excruciating pain. That is her deepest wound and is the biggest knot in her heart. Since she didnt tell you yet, it means that you havent melted her heart. Wait till youve managed to win her heart, and she will tell you all about that incident. As such, I dont have the right to tell you. If you want to know, win her heart and get her to personally tell you. Ximen Ningning sighed lightly. These past few years, Yanyan behaved arrogantly and rudely on purpose to show that shes happy. However, during these five years, she has never been truly happy as that incident had hurt her way too deeply. Without unraveling this knot, she will never be truly happy again. To cure the wound in her heart, to make her truly happy again, I believe it all depends on you, Little Tian! Yang Dingtian nodded. It will be a good opportunity in five days. Ximen Ningning laughed. I have no idea what way you will use to break through, but I believe that you will definitely be able to do it. As long as you do it, all of your conflicts with her will be corrected. Your determination will be deeply imprinted in her heart. At that time, she will regard you as a strong elite, and the distance youll need to walk to enter her heart will be shortened! Yang Dingtian laughed. Sister Ningning, you look like you really know a lot about relationships. Ningning blushed and lowered her head. Im already twenty-eight years old. Then, why havent you gotten married? Could it be that no one has ever been able to move your heart? Yang Dingtian couldnt help but ask. However, he regretted it a little after the words came out. Chapter 61: Metal Sword Town Chapter 61: Metal Sword TownTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales I am not as beautiful as Yanyan. Where would there be so many people who like me? Ximen Ningning whispered. I dont believe that, Yang Dingtian said. Your body, your elegance, your gentleness can all make even an excellent man fall head over heels for you. The longer one looks, the prettier your face becomes and the more feminine you look, like a glass of nice wine. Ximen Ningnings entire face turned red. Save your sweet words for Yanyan. I was just telling the truth, Yang Dingtian concluded. He did not continue to ask why Ximen Ningning was still single. Ximen Ningning remained silent for a while and then whispered, Ill tell you, but dont tell others. Yang Dingtian nodded. I am very afraid of having contact with men. As soon as a man comes nearby, the pores across my entire body become tightly closed, causing me to feel extreme pain from the inside out. As soon as I realize that Im breathing the same air that a man has breathed before, I cant help but feel uncomfortable. Yang Dingtian was slightly horrified. He knew that Ningning did have some aversion to men, but he did not expect it to be so serious. He couldnt help but ask, I, I am also a man. Is it tough for you when we are close to each other? No, Ximen Ningning answered. With you, I am not uncomfortable. Why? Yang Dingtian asked. I dont believe that I am so special. I dont know. Well, lets stop talking about this, Ximen Ningning said with a red face. Lets talk about Yang Shaobai. Dont belittle him just because he wasnt as competent as Yanyan was five years ago. At the age of seventeen, he became an Eight Star Xuan Warrior, which is definitely a rare talent. The most important thing to note is his current cultivation was achieved after he abandoned his original martial arts and re-cultivated the Chaotic Heaven Destroyer Swordsmanship. Yang Dingtian was instantly shocked. This seventeen years old youth had become an Eight Star Xuan Warrior, one of only a handful in the entire Northwest Mainland. Not only was he one of them, but he had also once washed away his original martial arts cultivation. Even though he must have taken the Xuan Dissociation Pill, there still must have been some degradation of his Xuan energy. This Yang Shaobai was definitely a talent. Suddenly, Yang Dingtian imprinted the name Yang Shaobai in his heart. Of course, the most important thing now was to get to the abandoned ore mine, kill both the gold-type and ice-type beasts, and harvest the demon nuclei of these two attributes. .... It was about noon. Floating Ray landed in a remote area in the valley, which was approximately a hundred miles away from the border separating Cloud Sky City and the Northwest Qin Family territories. After crossing this border, they would no longer ride any flying beasts and would switch to horses instead. On top of that, the two of them must stay in disguise to not let anyone identify Yang Dingtian. Otherwise, they would face a life-threatening disaster. Ximen Yanyan opened a box, within which were a pill and a thin feather-like mask. This was made from the skin of a beast with the ability to disguise itself, and it is still alive. After you put on this mask, swallow this pill and the mask will maintain its effect for three days, Ximen Ningning explained. Yang Dingtian took the mask and put it on. The moment it touched his face, the mask came alive and gradually squirmed onto his face. After he took the pill, the mask began to squirm even faster. After five minutes, the mask had completely merged with Yang Dingtians face. He received a crystal mirror from Ximen Ningning and felt a little surprised. This face was way too handsome and even made him feel jealous. Yang Dingtian said, This face is too handsome. Its not good because it stands out too much. Its better to change to a more normal face. Ximen Ningning rebutted, This is the most realistic face by far. The disguising mask is an extremely rare item. Yang Dingtian touched the mask on his face and almost could not feel its existence. It was as if it were his real face. I changed my face. What about you? Ximen Ningning took out another box with a variety of ointments and used a tiny hand to apply it on her face. Her visage soon also changed. As Yang Dingtian watched in surprise, Ximen Ningnings face completely transformed. Although it wasnt as real as the one provided by the disguising mask, it was still difficult to see the flaws. She really had some skill. This new face was very charming and even a little contemptuous. You turn around. I have to change my clothes, Ximen Ningning whispered after she finished disguising herself. Yang Dingtian turned around and soon began to hear sounds coming from behind him. Although he could not see, he could still imagine. He had a wonderful daydream because Ximen Ningning had an almost perfectly curved body. Im done! she declared. Yang Dingtian turned around, and his eyes widened. After grooming, she turned into a completely different person. The cherry-pink wrap dress made her charming and beautiful. Although she didnt have big eyes, they were so watery that they were still very attractive. Having the devils curvy body, she was the complete epitome of the word vixen. My current identity is the daughter of the Red Rock Fortress Lord, Qin Hongmian, Ximen Ningning said. The Red Rock Fortress is not big, but it is indeed a distant relative of the Northwest Qin family. Thus, wandering within the territory of the Northwest Qin family will be much more convenient. This woman likes beautiful men, so it will not be suspicious if I bring you along. Yang Dingtian asked shyly, Then, do we have to act like we are very intimate later? We have to! Ximen Ningning affirmed. Remember, your identity now is Qin Hongmins new lover. Your name is Ning Que. Lets go. There is a town thirty miles away. Well rest for a while there and depart in the afternoon for the abandoned ore mine. .... An hour later, the two of them were walking into town. This town was called the Metal Sword Town. The area between this town and the border over a hundred miles away was under the control of Metal Sword Fortress forces. S?a??h th? Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Metal Sword Fortress was the largest ministerial power in Cloud Sky City. For the past few centuries, Metal Sword Fortress had constantly rebelled and then been put down. Eight years ago, Ximen Wuya had already consecutively killed two generations of Metal Sword Fortress Lords. He sent the black blood troops to kill all the hated forces of Metal Sword Fortress before propping up a puppet as the new Metal Sword Fortress Lord. Only then did it once again become the largest ministerial power of Cloud Sky City. When they stepped into Metal Sword Town, Ximen Ningning instantly turned into a completely different person. Her gentle body stuck to Yang Dingtian as they walked, and she acted coquettishly and intimately as if there werent anyone else around. Although he knew that she was just acting, Yang Dingtian couldnt help but feel ecstatic. Entering the biggest inn in Metal Sword Town, both of them caught the attention of many people. The men looked at Ximen Ningning while the ladies looked at Yang Dingtian, all with fiery gazes. Though Ximen Ningning was pretending to be Qin Hongmin and was not the prettiest, her seductive vibe and devil-like body held a fatal attraction towards all men. Meanwhile, Yang Dingtian who was now Ning Que was also really too handsome. Ximen Ningning found the best spot, took out her handkerchief and wiped both table and chairs. She then sat down closely next to Yang Dingtian. The waiter brought the menu for them to order, and Ningning used two of her fingers to gently point and order softly from the menu, looking lazy and seductive. Mother, this woman is really ***. I cant stand it anymore. A sword-bearing man nearby looked at Ningning and swallowed a mouthful of water. He sat with three other martial artists. His gaze fell on Ningnings devil-like curvy body. Ningning heard him, disdainfully glanced at him, and said, Old village man. The muscular man was so angry that he stood up and rushed over. Ningning looked as if she couldnt bother with him. She said softly, The food here is really bad. Theres not much that is fit to eat. Its far worse than our Qin City. When the words came out, the strong man who had almost pulled out his sword had a drastic change in expression. He resheathed his sword and sat back. The three other martial artists at the same table all averted their eyes, no longer daring to arrogantly look at Ningnings chest and hips. Ningning pursed her lips and ordered a few of the most expensive and exquisite dishes in the restaurant. Ning Lang, hold it in for a few more days. Wait till we reach home and then, you will be able to eat whatever you wish to, Ningning looked at Yang Dingtian and said seductively. ...... Have you heard that Cloud Sky City is about to appoint a useless trash called Yang Dingtian as the new City Lord? I heard that that useless trash is already over twenty years old but has just passed the enlightenment period. He even learned the Pig Killing Swordsmanship and went insane a couple of days ago, A muscular man sitting next to them said. Doesnt that mean that we have to obey the orders of a useless thing in the future? Another thin man asked, Isnt Miss Ximen a flower whos been inserted into cow dung? She is a beauty at the same level as Ms. Dongfang fairy. If I am able to just hug her, my soul will be completely gone. That mad man really has struck it rich. He gained such a beauty but doesnt know how to hug and how to sleep with her. Suddenly, everyone in the room swallowed. Continue talking if you want to die. The brave man sneered. Miss Ximen and that useless person are just a couple in name only. She has been eyed by Shaojun of the Qin family. After a year and a half when the madman is dead, Miss Ximen will be Qin Shaojuns woman. The thin man heard that Ximen Yanyan was a taboo topic for the Northwest Qin family, and his expression suddenly changed. He feared that his words would be heard by others. Then, should our Metal Sword Fortress rebel? another one asked. Rebel? Rebel your head, the muscular man admonished. If that useless person really did become the City Lord, I will be the first to rebel. But, you know who will be the new City Lord? It is the third son of the Northwest Qin familys Lord. He is the grandson of Cloud Sky Citys Elder Yang Yan. Now that hes changed his name to Yang Shaobai, he is about to return to Cloud Sky City and join the Yang family tree. That useless thing named Yang Dingtian is dead. He might not even live past next year. The thin man said, Yang Shaobai has the support of the Northwest Qin Family on the outside and the Yang Family on the inside. Yang Dingtian wont even know how he died. We might even hear about his death tomorrow. Ohh... The thin man continued, It is truly a good means, a good strategy. At that moment, these thousand plus miles of Cloud Sky City territory will return to the hands of the Northwest Qin family. Then, in the entire Northwest Mainland, they will have no more enemies. If you keep talking so viciously, you really wont live to tomorrow. The muscular man said, This kind of big issue is something you just quietly listen about. Why badmouth others? Then, where does our Metal Sword Fortress stand? asked another one. The muscular man took a sip of wine and answered, Our Metal Sword Fortress? The Lord of the Fortress has already made his choice, and you will soon know what it is. Hearing these words, Yang Dingtians brows wrinkled slightly. If this matter was even known by these people of Metal Sword Fortress, it could be seen that the news has spread even thousands of miles away from Cloud Sky City. Anyone could see that the Northwest Qin family intended to swallow Cloud Sky City. Were Yang Yan and the others really going to turn a blind eye and let the ancestral foundations fall into the hands of the enemy? If they really support Yang Shaobai for that position, that would be too shameless and too stupid of them. However, all of this was both closely related to Yang Dingtian and also had nothing to do him. All he could do was one thing, which is to become stronger as quickly as possible! At this time, in the entire restaurant, not just the muscular man, almost everyone else was discussing this matter as well. Some peoples words were extremely offensive, especially with regards to Ximen Yanyans beauty. They called her someone with big boobs with a childish-face. Countless men listened with green eyes. I heard that when the young master of the Northwest Qin family is in bed, he is completely like a beast. I dont know how many women were played with till they were half dead, but if Miss Ximen is such a delicate girl, isnt it...? a bird-eyed man raved, covered in saliva. Hey... The entire restaurant suddenly turned completely silence as a black figure slowly came in. It was Ximen Ju, the manager of Cloud Sky Citys internal affairs. He actually appeared in this place. What was he doing here? Chapter 62: Accidentally Being Overwhelmed Chapter 62: Accidentally Being OverwhelmedTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Kill him and hang his head at the entrance of Cloud Sky City, Ximen Ju said while pointing at the bird-eyed man. Yes! Immediately, two warriors in black robes moved to drag the victim out to be slaughtered. Spare my life, General Manager Ximen. Please spare my life! The bird-eyed man knelt and kowtowed continuously. Ximen Ju gave him a brief disgusted glance before looking away. After that, he lightly flicked his sleeve. Pu... A few meters away, the bird-eyed mans head collapsed into a pile of mud within seconds. He was completely dead. Everyone in the restaurant was breathing carefully after seeing such a fierce scene. Some of them couldnt help but pee themselves. Everyone looked down without even daring to breathe heavily or look at Ximen Ju. If they werent aware of Ximen Jus power in Cloud Sky City, they were surely aware of it now. Yang Dingtian didnt expect Ximen Ju to directly walk towards their table. His heart was pounding, and his brows trembled a little. Ningnings small hand immediately held Yang Dingtians palm tightly and even shook a little. I came to Metal Sword Fortress for work. I never would have thought that I would bump into Miss Qin here. As such, I came over to greet you. Ximen Ju stepped forward and paid his respects to Ximen Ningning. May I have a seat? You may not, Ximen Ningning rebuffed. General Manager Ximen, please see yourself out. Dont interrupt our meal. Two years ago at Northwest Qin City, we met only briefly, but we meet again here today. Is there any reason that Miss Qin came over to my Cloud Sky Citys territory? Ximen Ju asked as he sat down. Ximen Ningning replied, I was just passing by. Oh. Ximen Jus gaze turned to Yang Dingtian and scanned him from head to toe a couple of times. Using the type of gaze that seemed to be able to pierce his mask, he asked, Whats this gentlemans name? Ning Que, Yang Dingtian replied proudly. Blame my poor eyesight, but I have no impression of Mr. Ning, which is strange. If I had ever met such a talented person like you, I would have definitely not forgotten. Ximen Ju asked, Where is Mr. Ning from? South Sea, Ning Family, Yang Dingtian answered. Thats thousands of miles away. Coming here must have been really tiring. Ximen Ju looked at Yang Dingtian and smiled. Both of you please do be careful on the road. Then, Ximen Ju stood up and left. Only after his shadow completely disappeared did everyone in the restaurant sigh in relief. However, they still did not dare speak loudly. Yang Dingtian was just about to open his mouth, but Ningning pinched his thigh lightly and then wrote something on his thigh with her tiny hand: He left two of his men. Hng, whats so great about him? Ximen Ningning huffed coldly, acting as if she didnt care. What did his last statement mean? Was he threatening us? Yang Dingtian asked. s?a??h th? ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The two of them quickly finished their meal and went up to the guest room intending to avoid Ximen Jus men by pretending to take an afternoon nap. I want a room, the most luxurious room possible. Ximen Ningning then took out a few gold coins. She wanted one room, not two. Yes, Miss. The storekeeper immediately brought the two of them to their most luxurious room that was located on the east side. It was truly a luxurious room. Within the exquisite space, all the furnishings were luxurious and superior, whether it was the bonsai in the corner, the carpet under their feet, or even the precious jade flower sandalwood incense sticks. Why did Ximen Ju come here? Yang Dingtian asked. To persuade Metal Sword Fortress to support Qin Shaobai? It is reasonable to think this way, Ximen Ningning said. Ximen Ju has decided to marry Tang Xin, which means he is siding with the Yang Family. Logically, it would follow that he would also support Qin Shaobai. However, I cant see through this person. He always plots deep schemes. It was still manageable when foster father was around, but now, I guess theres no one left in Cloud Sky City who can control him. Could it be that he has his own plot? For example, wanting to become Cloud Sky City Lord himself? asked Yang Dingtian. I cant see through him, Ximen Ningning replied. Publically, among the young elites in Cloud Sky City, there is no objection to the fact that Ximen Lie is the leader of the black blood troops. However, Ive always had the feeling that Ximen Ju is actually the strongest stepson among them. Its just that he is too good at maintaining a low profile. I cant guess exactly how powerful he is. So, you should not solely focus on Ximen Yan as your opponent in one and a half years but also on Ximen Ju and Qin Shaobai. Yang Dingtian immediately thought back to what happened just now. Ximen Ju had merely flicked his sleeve lightly and was able to break the bird-eyed mans head. That truly was an extremely terrifying power. Recalling Ximen Jus weird expression and his highly-specific words, Yang Dingtian asked, Could it be that he spotted the flaws in our disguises? His tone was really weird. He is a person with deep plots, which is why it is difficult to discern what hes thinking through his actions and words, Ximen Ningning answered. As a result, I also couldnt tell if he was suspecting us or was just showing his power. Has he met Qin Hongmian before? Yang Dingtian asked. He should have. He visited Northwest Qin City as stepfathers representative a couple of times. We only want two demons nuclei. Hopefully, he wont give us too much trouble... Yang Dingtian hadnt even finished his statement when Ximen Ningning threw her body onto him, cuddling his neck like a snake and pressing her cheek against his, rubbing passionately against him. The entire sequence happened too quickly. After just a split second, a fragrant smell filled his nose, and the feeling of a jade body enveloped his arms. There is someone outside.... Ximen Ningning let out a seductive sound and whispered in Yang Dingtians ears, They are men sent by Ximen Ju. He is suspicious of us. Quickly, act with me.... Then, Ningning stuck her curvy body against Yang Dingtians. Her snake-like movements, the kind that gave one a soft and smooth feeling, instantly lit up the entire room. Muah.... Ningning opened her mouth and lined up her lips against Yang Dingtians. She hugged his head with her arms while making sucking and squeaking sounds. Of course, she didnt really kiss him but only acted like she did. However, it really looked like they were kissing passionately to the men outside. Ximen Ningnings pink little tongue moved vigorously in step with her voice and the friction of her body. Yang Dingtians entire body became boiling hot. His breathes became heavy, and his body naturally responded. Ningning sensed his fiery mood. Her body instantly turned a little stiff. She held her breath, rolled her eyes at Yang Dingtian, and continued acting like they were having a passionate kiss while her body continued to move seductively. Yang Dingtian didnt dare look anymore because Ningning was too tempting at this moment. He quickly closed his eyes and repetitively recited form is emptiness. He was neither a hypocrite nor a beast. However, in this world, his responsibilities were already very heavy. After five minutes, the people outside still had not left yet. They were still peeping and eavesdropping. If they were to continue kissing, it would cause suspicion. How could a man and a woman kiss for so long and not take the next step? Ningning suddenly clenched her jade teeth. A pair of jade legs wrapped around and pressed on Yang Dingtian, causing him to roll on to the bed. Then, her beautiful legs slowly moved and straddled Yang Dingtians waist. Panting, she reached out to take remove Yang Dingtians clothes. Her actions were extremely wild, but it was extremely awkward when their eyes met occasionally. Soon, Yang Dingtian was left with only his underwear. The people outside were still there and were still peeping. Scumbags .... Ningning clenched her jade teeth, lowered her delicate body, and stuck out her tongue to lick Yang Dingtians chest. Yang Dingtian trembled fiercely. He opened his eyes and looked at Ningning in confusion. Qin Hongmian is a very prurient woman. If I dont act like this, Ximen Ju would definitely suspect us. That wont just ruin our plans, but would also threaten our lives. This is not Cloud Sky City. If he suspects us, he will definitely kill us, Ningning said while leaning down on his chest and whispering in his ears. Little Tian, just think of this as a dream. Then, Ningning began to take off her top, her dress, and her trousers. She was only left with her innerwear, which revealed her smooth, slick, and seductive jade-white arms and legs. Ningnings bosom, although it wasnt as sharp as Yanyans, was very tall and straight like bamboo shoots. Each ones shape was as perfect as the back of a jade bowl. The people outside havent left yet, and Ningning was clenching her teeth so hard that they almost bled. However, a determined thought flashed through her mind, and she reached out behind her to unhook her bra. Yang Dingtian quickly grabbed the quilt and put it over her delicate body to prevent others from seeing. Scumbags, really a bunch of scumbags... Ningning screamed and threw her innerwear away. She then took off her pants and threw it away as well. Finally, she took off Yang Dingtians underwear and threw them away. The two of them were now naked on the bed. Their hot bodies were intertwined, their flesh pressed together. The entire beds temperature was infinitely elevated, caused by the extreme temptation that lay beneath the quilt. Although he didnt see it, Yang Dingtian could still clearly feel every inch of Ningnings delicate body. Every inch was perfect like the curves on a beautiful snake. Ningnings entire body turned red. Panting, she looked at Yang Dingtian and said softly, Those scumbags.... You should treat all this as a spring dream, a dream with sister! Then, Ningning held Yang Dingtians face, opened her tiny mouth, and kissed deeply, sticking her tongue into his mouth. She opened her beautiful legs and rode on Yang Dingtians belly, twisting her waist gently and moving her jade hips. It felt fiery, slippery, wet, and ecstatic! Yang Dingtians entire body trembled, and his soul was about to leave his body. Treat it as a dream. It is a dream! Ningning hugged Yang Dingtian and stuck her chest against him. Her hips were shaking faster and faster, with more and more force. Yang Dingtian did not really enter her body, but their ** were completely stuck together. They frantically ground against one another due to Ningnings movements. She forgot that someone was peeping outside. She forgot to act. She began to moan, began to tremble, began to go crazy, and began to go wild! Faster and faster. Hotter and hotter. Greater and greater debauchery! Her voice was getting higher and higher, more and more ecstastic, more and more seductive. In the beginning, Yang Dingtians expression showed that he was struggling. Later, he simply closed his eyes and abandoned all thought, regarding it all as a dream. From the waters of streams to the big waves of the river to the turbulent waves of the ocean! The feeling of boundless ecstasy madly devoured the souls and rationality of these two. Chapter 63: Bumped Into Qin Shaobai Chapter 63: Bumped Into Qin ShaobaiTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Good boy, good boy... Suddenly, Ningning bit Yang Dingtians earlobe and made a sweet sound, causing his body to harden like a swan midflight. After half a minute of tremors, her naked body that was as soft as water slumped against Yang Dingtian. Her entire body was soaked. She lay on Yang Dingtians warm body and closed her eyes, savoring the aftertaste of the ebb of the tide of passion. She calmed her breathing, and her delicate body gradually returned to its original temperature. The people outside had already left, and she didnt even know when they did. Ningning still felt something hot and hard under her hips. She and Yang Dingtian did not really do it, but they were carrying out the motions with their most intimate places grinding wildly against one another. Despite this, Ningning still reached the climax of spiritual desire, and Yang Dingtian was still hot and vigorous. Both of them remained silent as if too embarrassed to open their eyes and face what had just happened. Finally, Ximen Ningning opened her eyes and said softly, Little Tian, do you want me to give it to you? Yang Dingtian shook his head. Its not that sister is not willing to give it to you. Its just that because I am a virgin, Im afraid that when it happens, I wont meet your expectations, Ningning whispered. I have never thought of marrying in this life and have treated you like family. We have already come to this step, so I am willing to give you my body. Yang Dingtian opened his eyes and shivered. Sister Ningning is the most attractive woman in the world, and you are a real woman. However, I feel that I have no power to indulge. Is it because of Yanyan? Or is it because of me? Ximen Ningning asked. I dont know... Poor little thing, you will be crushed by responsibilities, Ximen Ningning said softly. Then, her tiny little hand trembled as she held onto Yang Dingtians hard member and gently massaged it. Sister Ningning, dont do this. A cold shower will do. Yang Dingtian trembled and gasped. Be obedient... Ningning leaned down, kissed Yang Dingtian, and said softly, I have never really indulged. Since we already started, lets completely indulge today. After we leave this bed, Little Tian will still be Little Tian. Sister Ningning will still be Sister Ningning. Yang Dingtian hesitated for a while, but still replied, Sister Ningning, whether it was intentional or not, we already have a close relationship. Yanyan once said that she wanted you to marry me along with her. If thats the case, when I have enough power to protect you, will you let me take care of you? Ningning smiled softly. Is it because you like me? Or because you want to take responsibility? Its hard to tell, Yang Dingtian admitted. Ningning softly said, I like those words. Hearing that you are willing to take care of me, I am very happy. However, your sister cant marry. I cant even give my body to a man. This is my secret. Yanyan doesnt know the secret, and I cant tell you why now. If it is fated in the future, Ill tell you then, okay? Yang Dingtian nodded. Ningning leaned over and gave him another kiss. But, Im very happy to hear what you just said. Yang Dingtian smiled shyly. Okay... Ningning smiled. Ill wait for that day, wait till you are strong enough to break my bodys restriction, okay? Sister Ningning, you are really the gentlest woman in the world, Yang Dingtian said. I really have no idea what kind of man in this world you would actually fall for. Idiot...., Ximen Ningning chided. For people like me, its difficult to say whether I love someone or not, but I know that I like Little Tian quite a bit. When I heard how Yanyan blamed you, heard your story, and saw your determination and stubbornness, I even felt heartache for you. Okay, lets not talk anymore. Enjoy this moment when your sister is showering you with affection. This may be the one and only time! Ningning placed one of her hands on Yang Dingtians lips and moved another hand around his sensitive part with increasing speed. Yang Dingtians entire body became boiling hot. His breath became as fast as lightning. He closed his eyes out of confusion and awkwardness. At first, he thought that he already pretty much understood this woman in front of him, but at this moment, he realized that his previous understanding was too shallow. If you are willing to, you can still touch my body anywhere that you wish to, Ningning said suddenly. She then guided Yang Dingtians hand towards her buttocks. This is your favourite part, isnt it? Yanyan said that you often peeked at her backside and sometimes mine as well. As soon as her words came out, Yang Dingtians body instantly erupted as if he were a tight spring. Dozens of minutes later, there was a moment of moaning as he reached climax. ****** Half an hour later. Ximen Ningning had already finished her shower, put on her clothes, and was now sitting in front of the mirror to put on make up. We should go now, she said. You go take a shower, change your clothes, buy two horses, and then well head to the border to the abandoned ore mine. Yang Dingtian asked, Ximen Ju wont be suspicious of us, will he? He shouldnt. Ximen Ningnings cheek turned red. We already did that. How else can he suspect us? ... Yang Dingtian went and bought a horse and a carriage. Ximen Ningning sat in the carriage while he rode the horse as they headed towards the border. After they left Metal Sword Fortress, there were still mines, trees, and rice paddies. These were all the assets of Metal Sword Fortress. They just had to pay taxes to Cloud Sky City. Along the road, there were big and small castles dozens of miles apart, homes to high-ranking swordsmen who protected and maintained order in the area. Along the road, there were lots of horse carriages. Yang Dingtian didnt chat much with Ningning. After what happened last night, even though he was supposed to treat it like a dream, he was still shy. Throughout their journey, Ningning gave Yang Dingtian water and fruits. Nothing happened along their journey, and they traveled the last hundred miles within half a day to reach the border. On the border, there was only a red line, but he saw it clearly. Yang Dingtian eventually felt shocked as they approached. The magma abyss was so deep that it seemed to be bottomless, and the entire land looked as if it had been torn apart. The abyss was four to five miles wide. Blood-red magma simmered inside its deep, bottomless depths. This was truly a natural border. Yang Dingtian knew that this magma abyss was over two thousand miles long and even exceeded the length of both Cloud Sky City and Northwest Qin Familys territories combined. A huge suspension bridge that was five meters wide and more than 3,000 meters long spanned the abyss. It was the only passage between the two places. Two huge castles guarded each end of the suspension bridge. On the east side was a castle belonging to Cloud Sky City. On the west side was a castle belonging to the Northwest Qin Family. Every ten miles along the magma abyss, there was a tall post that monitored the beasts that might fly over. Flying on beasts was not allowed in this area. Once detected, it will immediately be shot down. Yang Dingtian lined up in the square in front of the castle and waited for his turn to cross the bridge. Although it was the territory of Metal Sword Fortress, the flag of Cloud Sky City was hung both inside and outside of the castle. It was the forefront of Cloud Sky City territory, and the military was extremely strict. Bows as well as giant crossbows and even more than a dozen catapults could be seen all around. The guardian of this abyss castle is Ximen Nu, stepfathers favorite stepson. We call him second brother. His cultivation is compatible with that of Ximen Lie. He commands over eight hundred warriors, but his forces and influence are still weaker than Ximen Jus and Ximen Lies. Ningning whispered, He is very loyal to stepfather. On the way back to Cloud Sky City, Yanyan once sent him a letter via crow to ask him to give you his loyalty, but he did not respond. Ximen Ju, Ximen Lie, and Ximen Nu were three of Ximen Wuyas most outstanding stepsons. They managed the strongest forces of Cloud Sky City for Ximen Wuya and were known as the iron triangle. Ximen Wuya relied on these three people to neutralize the Elder society. But now, it seemed like this iron triangle was already falling apart. S?a??h the n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian looked at the elite swordsmen and knights in the public square. Everyone was serious and sharp. There was no slacking due to the huge changes happening in Cloud Sky City. One could imagine the power of the owner of this castle, Ximen Nu. After checking the road, Yang Dingtian paid two gold coins as the fee to cross the bridge. He and Ningning rode within a carriage pulled by two horses and driven by a coachman. They thusly began to cross this huge and renowned suspension bridge. Although it was a suspension bridge, it was different from what Yang Dingtian expected. Although many horses and carriage passed over it, the bridge wasnt very shaky. A five-meter-wide suspension bridge allowed two carriages to cross side-by-side. Dozens of thick arm-like special iron chains were used to form the main body of the suspension bridge. The bridge deck was covered with solid planks without any gaps among them. There were high railings on both sides of the bridge. It was impossible to imagine how Cloud Sky City and the Northwest Qin Family had built this magnificent suspension bridge hundreds of years ago. Even on earth where technology was so advanced, it was very difficult to build such a suspension bridge that had no supports under it. The five-meter-wide bridge deck was divided into two paths, one to the east and one to the west. There were many people on the bridge as it was the only passageway within a few thousand miles. After crossing the five-mile-long suspension bridge, Yang Dingtian was once again inspected. He paid another three gold coins before he was allowed to set foot on the territory of the Northwest Qin family. Compared to the bridgehead castle at Cloud Sky Citys peak, the Northwest Qin familys castle was larger, and there was even a small town outside the castle. This is called the abyssal town. The commander is the Qin familys seventh brother and also Qin Hongmians uncle. He is very close to his nephew, so we must leave here as quickly as possible to avoid being caught, Ximen Ningning warned. The two of them sped up, left the crowded town, and then paid to send the driver away. They unloaded the carriage and rode their horses towards the abandoned ore mine. The abandoned Devil Silver Ore Mine was located in an area that was over two hundred miles southwest from their current location. It was situated in a remote and wild mountain. Yang Dingtian and Ximen Ningning tried not to take the main road and stuck to remote mountain trails. They rode for dozens of miles without encountering any danger on the roads. At this time, they were already in the wilderness, so there was almost no one else around. The two of them continued to head southwest at full speed. Suddenly, the ground shook. An army contingent appeared. This should be Qin Shaobais troops heading back to Cloud Sky City. Go quickly! Ningnings expression changed, and she moved to quickly escape. Chapter 64: Abandoned Devil Silver Ore Mine Chapter 64: Abandoned Devil Silver Ore MineTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Whoosh... There was a whistling sound in the air, and dozens of sharp arrows suddenly descended on the pair. One of them almost pierced Yang Dingtians ear and instead buried itself in the ground dozens of meters behind him. This was an empty area in the wilds. As such, it was extremely difficult for one to find a place to hide and escape. Then, a group of more than a dozen knights quickly advanced to surround Yang Dingtian and Ximen Ningning. Dozens of iron spear blades were leveled at the pairs throats. Who are the two of you? Why arent you on the main road but are instead sneaking around in the wilds? What are your intentions? asked a knight in a cold voice. During this standoff, the rest of the troop that was a distance away got closer and closer. There were hundreds of horses and more than a dozen magnificent carriages. However, this troop was actually flying the flag of Cloud Sky City. Who are you? Ximen Ningning asked coldly. Since when are Cloud Sky City troops allowed on the lands of the Northwest Qin family? Despite being surrounded, Ximen Ningnings attitude was still very arrogant. Tell us your name. Otherwise, you will die, the knight ordered coldly. Northwest Qin family, the daughter of the Red Stone Fortress Lord, Qin Hongmian, Ximen Ningning replied coldly. The knights facial expression changed a little after hearing that. Can you prove it? Ximen Ningning immediately took out a jade piece and lit it in front of the knight. It was something that identified her as Qin Hongmian. My greetings to Miss Qin. The knight sheathed his sword and performed a greeting ritual while still on the horse. Then, the more than a dozen knights withdrew their sharp spears and fanned out. Can we go now? Ximen Ningning asked coldly. Of course, the knight said. Yang Dingtian and Ximen Ningning immediately left and rode as quickly as possible for a few hundred meters. Hold on..... Suddenly, there was a clear shout in the air. It was the voice of a young man who was yelling from a distance. It was just a simple yell, but it traveled hundreds of meters. Then, a man came out from the troop, his eyes greedily looking at Ningnings beautiful back. He said with a touch of laziness, Who is the lady in front? Turn around and let me see. His words were arrogant and contemptuous. Ximen Ningning and Yang Dingtian stopped their horses and turned around. Its you? The man in the robes was a little shocked when he saw Ningning. Then, his handsome mouth showed a sinister smile. Sister Hongmian, why arent you taking the main road but using this small road instead? Could it be that youre up to something that shouldnt be seen? Qin Shaobai, what does this have to do with you? Ximen Ningning acted like a hostile Qin Hongmian. He was Qin Shaobai? While he was less than seventeen years old, he was still so tall and had a beautiful face. The corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling at all times. From his clothes to his hair, every inch was meticulous and full of extravagance. However, his whole face always showed a kind of bohemian look. A couple for a night has a hundred days of gratitude. Since you and I have slept together a few nights, why are you so cold to me? Qin Shaobai teased her with his eyes and scanned Ningning from head to toe, looking like he was about to take her clothes off. Yang Dingtian said coldly, Please show some respect. Qin Shaobais gaze suddenly turned towards Yang Dingtian. He lifted his chin slightly with an arrogant attitude, but his eyes flashed a chilling feeling. He smiled. Sister Hongmian, is this your new favorite man? Then, Qin Shaobai stared at Yang Dingtian coldly. Didnt you hear before that the women that I, Qin Shaobai, have slept with, even if I dont want them, I wont allow anyone to touch them? Shut up! Ximen Ningning interjected. You are already no longer the young master of the Qin family. You were forced out. What right do you have to tell me all these things? Kill me here if you are capable, or dont. I dont have the energy to talk crap with you here. Qin Shaobais gaze turned cold, but his smile grew even wider. Ning Lang, lets go! Ximen Ningning said loudly. (TL note: Ning refers to Ning Que; Lang refers to boyfriend.) Then, Yang Dingtian and Ximen Ningning both headed east quickly. Looking at their backs shrinking in the distance, Qin Shaobai did not chase them but let out a cold laugh. Shaobai, if you want, just snatch that woman back and kill that man, a gentle voice said softly. You are my son, the future owner of Cloud Sky City. You can snatch anything that you want, and youve had this woman before. Thats even more reason for you to not let other men play with her. After Qin Hongmian was dumped by me, she became so open and has had many men. I am clean, and I dont want to be polluted. Qin Shaobai smiled evilly and said, I just never expected her body to become so delicate. I didnt realize it before this. Delicate? Is it as delicate as mine? the women asked. ...... They rode at a high speed for about twenty miles and entered a mountain. Only when they could no longer see any traces of Qin Shaobais troop did Yang Dingtian and Ximen Ningning reduce their speed. This Qin Shaobai was really dangerous, Yang Dingtian remarked. Not only dangerous, hes a madman, a rational but evil madman, Ningning said. This persons greed, salaciousness, and jealousy are really one in a million. He cant stand to see anyone surpass him. He also wants to own all the precious items and beautiful women that he sees. But, hes also extremely picky and petty. No matter how beautiful the woman is, hell play with her for a month at most and then dump her. Even so, he wont let any man touch the women that hed dumped. The Northwest Qin family is willing to tolerate him? Qin Huaiyu can stand him? asked Yang Dingtian. Ningning said, But somehow, he is also both extremely smart and talented. As such, the Qin familys lord both loves and hates him. Okay, lets not talk about him anymore, but he is your destined enemy. In the future, there will be many opportunities for you two to interact, Ningning said. Lets hurry to the abandoned ore mine. We should try to get there before sunset, and youll be able to get both ice and gold-type beast nuclei. Its very dangerous to be in the wilderness at night. Then, the two of them sped up and rushed towards the Devil Silver Ore Mine following the mountain roads. Although they were in the deep, wild mountains, they traveled along a flat road that was used to transport silver ore out in the past. However, since the ore mine had been abandoned for decades, the road was already covered with long grass. .... S?a?ch* Th? Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Two hours later, the two of them finally reached the abandoned Devil Silver Ore Mine. This was a huge mountain field, a huge open space created by deforestation. It contained many wooden houses, a post, and even a small castle. However, these houses had long since been abandoned. Weeds were growing everywhere, and the entire place was filled with a desolated and defeated vibe as well as the smell of wood decay. Not far away, there was a dark mine entrance that seemed like the mouth of a devil, seemingly bottomless. It was the entrance to the abandoned Devil Silver Ore Mine. Ningning started with a gentle reminder. This is an Aura Pill. This mine has been abandoned for a long time, so there shouldnt be much air deep inside. This Aura Pill can provide enough oxygen for you to last half a day. Little Tian, this is the Full Restoration Pill and Energy Recovery Pill. You must eat them if you are injured. Even if you are only tired, take it no matter how precious it is. This is the Mysterious Beast Pill. Use it if youre in danger. You hear me? Ningning handed over the pills to Yang Dingtian. The top of Deep Sea Xuan Clothes had been put on Yang Dingtian in the morning. As for the bottom, Ningning had tried to take it off many times, but it was as if it had already grown onto her body. In the end, Ningning took out a box and opened it. A burning energy came to the fore. It was a two-foot-long weapon and it burst into a fiery red dazzling light. This is the feather of the Xuan Sky Magic Phoenix. It is very sharp and is filled with fiery energy. Your Xuan energy is too weak. It will be very difficult for you to kill the beasts with other weapons. You could kill them with this flame feather, Ningning explained. Your speed is not fast enough, but your sword martial art is very unique. You must fully utilize the uniqueness of your Pig Killing Swordsmanship and hit the weak spot of the beast first. You should never let any beast strike you first. Also, the energy inside this flame feather is limited. It probably can only kill just over a dozen beasts, so you have to make sure that you have enough energy to reach the unfreezing pond and kill an ice-type beast. Once the energy of the flame feather is exhausted, you must leave the mine. Though the number of beasts here is small, and they are all low-rank, it will be dangerous if you encounter a powerful beast. Sister will be waiting for you outside, but remember, if you dont come out before sunset, I will go in to find you. Yang Dingtian nodded and asked, Is it safe for you to be outside alone? There are no people in this area, only beasts and demons, Ningning said. As long as there is no one else, even if there are strong beasts, I will be safe. Ningning was full of confidence because she was a talented beast language master. Then Ill be heading in, Yang Dingtian said: Once I get two demon nuclei, I will come out. Well, the things that you should use must be used. Dont let your sister worry. Ningning touched Yang Dingtians hand and smiled softly. Go. I will be waiting for you outside. Yang Dingtian held onto the flame feather of the Xuan Sky Magic Phoenix, took a deep breath, and slowly walked into the entrance of the mine. Chapter 65: Hunting for Gold-type Demon Nucleus Chapter 65: Hunting for Gold-type Demon NucleusTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales There were rocks scattered everywhere, the result of excavation marks all over the mine. The small amount of soil was only two meters high and two meters wide, spacious enough to allow one person to pass through. There was no longer any devil silver ore remaining inside. The cave was filled with a white-grey atmosphere, silent except for the occasional sound of bugs. Yang Dingtian held his flame feather up as he moved forward. Although there wasnt even a bit of light in the ore mine, the light of the flame feather was able to illuminate everything within a ten-meter radius. Yang Dingtian held his breath and carefully walked towards the deeper parts of the mine. Although there werent many beasts here, the location was still more dangerous than the red, wild forest because it was inside a cave and not on broad, flat ground. He walked over a hundred meters deep and did not encounter any beasts. He walked a thousand meters deep and did not encounter any beasts. He walked two thousand meters deep and still did not encounter any beasts. Why is it like this? How is it that there isnt even a single beast? Yang Dingtian was shocked and disappointed. Ningning said, although there were very few beasts living in this abandoned ore mine, there were still, at the very least, a few dozen of them. Why havent I seen a single one? As a result, Yang Dingtian had no choice but to take out the Bloody Black Gold from a box to lure out a gold-eating beast. Bloody Black Gold had a strong attractive power towards gold-eating beasts. As long as there were gold-eating beasts within a few hundred meters, they would definitely be lured over. However, Yang Dingtian was disappointed as no beasts appeared. At the moment, Yang Dingtian had already traveled four thousand meters into the ore mine, which left one thousand meters before the end. The entire ore mine was winding, and its passages were all interconnected. Yang Dingtian kept walking deeper and deeper, to the point where he had walked past every fork and gone down many curvy paths. The ore mine eventually fell silent. There had been the sounds of insects at first, but those sounds had all disappeared by now. There were still five hundred meters left before he reached the deepest part of the ore mine, but there were still no signs of any beasts. How is this happening? What happened exactly? How did all the beasts disappear? Yang Dingtian was shocked. Could it be that I will be going back empty-handed today? As he moved towards the deepest part of the ore mine, the surrounding temperature dropped lower and lower, and the hoarfrost on the ground got thicker and thicker. In the end, it turned completely into frost, which Yang Dingtian knew was caused by the unfreezing pond. Ningning had said that there was an earthquake a few months ago and that there was unfreezing water deep in the ore mine that had condensed into a pond, causing the temperature around it to drop sharply. Yang Dingtian continued to move forward. The ground wasnt only frosted, but there was also a layer of thick ice. On top of that, he could already see a glimpse of light in front of him. Since unfreezing water emitted light, Yang Dingtian knew that he was not far from the deepest part of the mine. At that moment, Yang Dingtian pinned all his hopes on this unfreezing pond, hoping that there would be an ice-type beast in the area. After all, todays main goal was still to find an ice-type beast as gold-eating beasts could be found in many other places. The ice-type beast, however, could only be found in the northern continents over ten thousand miles away. The deeper he went, the colder it became, and finally, the entire mine had become crystal clear, completely covered by ice. Walking past a corner, he saw a hole in which snow-white light shone through. Yang Dingtian knew that he would be reaching the deepest part of the mine in no time. The unfreezing pond just around the corner, and whether or not there were any ice-type beasts would be discovered the moment he arrived. Holding his breath, Yang Dingtian slowly moved forward, walking towards the end of the ore mine. S~?a??h the N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Underneath was a huge cave formed by the earthquake. It was the size of a football field and was a few hundred meters deep. Every part of the cave was covered with ice. It was as beautiful as a crystal palace, sporting sharp icicles everywhere. At the center of the cave lay a transparent pond filled with water that was about two hundred square meters in area. The water in the pond illuminated everything in roughly a two-hundred-meter radius with its white light. As such, the entire cave shone brightly. This was the unfreezing pond. There were also the beasts that Yang Dingtian cared about. There were dozens of different kinds of gold-eating beasts around the pond. They were using their sharp claws to dig through the ice to find all kinds of metals to eat. Yang Dingtian finally discovered why there were no beasts in the entire rest of the mine. It was because all of them had gathered here in the only place in the area where metals could be found. The earthquake had caused some of the metal buried deep underground to be shaken out. As for the ice-type beasts, there were also some swimming in the unfreezing pond. It had truly seemed hopeless before he found this cave. However, there were too many gold-type beasts before him. There were dozens of them here, one of which was a rank two beast. Although he had the flame feather, if dozens of beasts were to attack him simultaneously, he would find himself in extreme danger. In the worst case scenario, he would surely die. But, it wasnt like he had no options. Yang Dingtian took out his Bloody Black Gold and waved it high up before immediately placing it back into the jade box. It couldnt be exposed for too long lest dozens of gold-eating beast came rushing over. Sure enough, a few gold-eating beasts smelled that delicious scent and immediately looked up towards Yang Dingtians hiding spot. However, they found nothing so most of the beasts went back to shaving ice to find food. The beast standing closest to Yang Dingtian hesitated for a moment before running quickly towards Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian immediately retreated a few hundred meters. He couldnt kill the gold-eating beast here. Otherwise, he would attract the rest of the group. After retreating to a corner a hundred meters away, Yang Dingtian found an advantageous position and waited for the arrival of the gold-eating beast. Sure enough, a minute later, the gold-eating beast snuck in. Yang Dingtian hid the flame feather behind his back to cover its light. The entire mine was dark so he could only see the two red eyes of the gold-eating beast. It was a gold-eating mouse about the size of a rabbit. Its attacking power was not strong, but it was extremely agile. Its teeth were very sharp and were effective when attacking a persons crotch. Thus, for Yang Dingtian, it was an extremely dangerous beast so he definitely could not let it get close to him. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous. Yang Dingtian held his breath and closed all of his body pores. Even so, he was still detected by the golden mouse. It stopped instantly, used its nose to smell, and determined Yang Dingtians location very quickly, fixing its pair of red, fiery eyes on him. Whoosh... Suddenly, the golden mouse rushed out at lightning speed and was so fast that it completely exceeded Yang Dingtians expectations. Even worse, it had closed its eyes when it rushed over. Since the entire cave was steeped in total darkness, he could no longer spot this golden mouse. It was a really cunning beast. Yang Dingtian sensed that he was in extreme danger and took out his flame feather from behind him immediately. The dark cave was instantly illuminated. At this moment, Yang Dingtian was shocked to find the golden mouse not even an inch away from him, its mouth already opened and baring its sharp teeth. It was less than 0.01 seconds away from biting his crotch. However, when the flame feathers light blazed forth, the golden mouse was stunned momentarily before it continued its charge towards Yang Dingtian. Pig-Killing Swordsmanship, break into two pieces. Yang Dingtian waved the flame feather towards the golden mouse lightly. One wave! Whoosh! Immediately, the airborne golden mouse was silently chopped in half. The creature did not even have time to utter a scream. Really a good treasure. Yang Dingtian stared at this flame feather. This golden mouse ate gold all year round. Not only its skin, but even its hair was harder than steel. It was harder to kill it than a fire-eyed wolf or a wind snake. If the Xuan energy was not strong enough, a strike would not be able to hurt it even with the best iron sword. However, this flame feather cut the iron body of the golden mouse as easily as cutting tofu. Yang Dingtian squatted down and looked at the golden mouses corpse. The part that was cut was actually dark and cauterized. Not even a drop of blood had flown out. This flame feather really was too amazing. He easily dug out the demon nucleus from the golden mouses brain. It was still hot and looked like a fiery red-gold walnut, covered with complicated lines. He placed the demon nucleus of the golden mouse into the box. The third gold-type demon nucleus was obtained easily. Next would be the fourth demon nucleus, an ice-type. Beneath the unfreezing water, there were at least three ice-type beasts. Around the pond, there were still dozens of gold-eating beasts. First of all, he needed to get rid of these dozens of gold-eating beasts. Otherwise, he not only wouldnt get the ice-type demon nucleus but would also even lose his life. Yang Dingtian came up with two plans. The first plan was to throw the Bloody Black Gold far away. Then, dozens of gold-eating beasts would definitely rush there and fight for it, killing each other in the process. In the end, the only beast that would survive should be the rank two gold-eating beast. After Yang Dingtian killed the rank two gold-eating beast, he would then head to the unfreezing pond to kill an ice-type beast. The second plan was to put the Bloody Black Gold at the mine entrance about a kilometer away to lure all the gold-eating beasts over so that he could freely head over to the unfreezing pond to kill an ice-type demonic beast. Both of these plans had shortcomings and uncertainties, but Yang Dingtian eventually chose the first plan. However, Yang Dingtian did not know whether things would go as planned. Even if they did, Yang Dingtian would still have to kill the rank two golden beast by himself. The beast was a few times more powerful than a low-rank gold-eating beast. Holding his breath, Yang Dingtian grabbed the Bloody Black Gold and threw it towards the golden beasts. Clank... A dozen pounds of Bloody Black Gold landed ten meters away. The gold-eating beasts that were shaving ice were stunned and sniffed desperately with their noses before rushing madly towards the Bloody Black Gold. The Bloody Black Golds attraction to the gold-eating beasts really was fatal. The dozens of gold-eating beasts were madly agitated and desperately bit each other. In no time, the blood of the beasts splashed into the air, and screams sounded out non-stop. This bunch of low-rank gold-eating beasts went completely insane after seeing the Bloody Black Gold and fought for it aggressively. Chapter 66: Ice-type Demonic Beast Chapter 66: Ice-type Demonic BeastTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales After just a few minutes, the area became a complete mess. The ground was covered with blood. Half of those golden beasts had been torn to pieces while the remaining half was still fighting. The battle was an incredibly bloody scene. It seemed as if the battle would end soon. However, what was unfortunate was that the lone rank two golden beast stood still at the side without moving at all. It was a gigantic Gold-eating Magic Lizard that was three to four meters long and had a completely black body. Its thick tail inadvertently smashed the ground and left a deep crack in the ground. It stared coldly at those lower ranking golden beasts as they killed one another as if it had no interest in the Bloody Black Gold. It even looked towards Yang Dingtian several times. Yang Dingtians heart felt that something was not right. This rank two Magic Lizard was not taking the bait? Two minutes passed, and there were only five low ranking beasts left. What was most unexpected was that the five beasts were not fighting each other. Instead, they were shaking their heads and tails to communicate with one another. They wanted to have a truce and split the prize among the five of them. Meanwhile, those ice-type beasts were still swimming in the unfreezing pond and looked up occasionally to watch the golden beasts that were fighting. The five golden beasts had already finished negotiating. They all opened their mouths to enjoy their delicious meal. Yang Dingtian wanted to cry but had no tears, thinking that this was what people called trying to steal a chicken but ending up losing the rice used to lure it. At this moment, the situation changed dramatically. The boss-like Gold-eating Magic Lizard sitting still at the side demonstrated its powers to them, wanting them to pass it the Bloody Black Gold. Apparently, it wasnt uninterested but just wanted to let the lower-ranking beasts kill one another before reaping the rewards. The five lower-ranking golden beasts obviously wouldnt let go of the delicious meal in front of them. Instead of retreating, they formed a battle formation and roared towards the rank two demon lizard. The Gold-eating Magic Lizard was furious and opened its mouth to reveal its scarlet tongue. It slammed its tail powerfully and rushed towards them at lightning speed. In an instant, the huge battle among the beasts began: Five rank one beasts versus one rank two Gold-eating Magic Lizard. Yang Dingtian opened his eyes wide and hoped that both sides would end up with serious injuries. However, Yang Dingtian was completely horrified by the result. When the rank two magic lizard rushed over, it used its claw to slam, its leg to stomp, and its mouth to bite, quickly killing three rank one golden beasts. Then, it slammed its huge tail and crushed the two remaining golden beasts instantly. Yang Dingtian thought that both sides would have fought dozens of rounds and end up heavily injured. However, he never would have expected the battle to end in a mere two seconds. The rank two magic lizard had killed five rank one golden beasts without losing a single scale. Yang Dingtian felt a chill in his back. This rank two beast was that much more powerful a rank one beast? It moved like lightning, and its strength was shocking. Even though he had the flame feather, would he be able to kill this rank two magic lizard? However, what happened next stunned Yang Dingtian. He never would have thought that this rank two magic lizard wouldnt immediately go eat the Bloody Black Gold but would instead rush over towards his hiding spot. Like black lightning, it was many times faster than the golden mouse he encountered previously. This golden magic lizard was way too cunning. It didnt go for the Bloody Black Gold but chose to attack Yang Dingtian first. Yang Dingtian didnt even have the time to sigh before that huge magic lizard was already three meters in front of him. It stared coldly at him with its small green eyes, opened its mouth, and let out an extremely horrifying roar. Seeing this beast up close, Yang Dingtian found that this Gold-eating Magic lizard was even larger than he thought. It was four to five meters long. While it was as large as a crocodile, it was many times faster and more agile. It didnt rush to attack but stared at Yang Dingtian coldly. It let out another loud roar to scare him. It didnt move, and Yang Dingtian couldnt move. Its speed was too fast. It would be ill-advised for Yang Dingtian to initiate the attack. The only way to kill it would be to wait and use the flame feather when it rushed him. Yang Dingtian only had one chance with a window of opportunity of at most 0.1 seconds. He wont get a second chance if he missed it. Of course, he could use the Mysterious Beast Pill, but he chose not to. One minute passed..... Two minutes passed... Five minutes passed.... This Gold-eating Magic lizard did not move but instead locked onto Yang Dingtian. Its small eyes kept shifting to the flame feather in his hand. It was obviously extremely afraid of the power it could feel contained within this flame feather. Yang Dingtian moved the flame feather that he was holding, wanting to bait the Gold-eating Magic lizard to attack. Hong! The Gold-eating Magic lizard opened its mouth and spat a bunch of flame at Yang Dingtian. It can spit fire? Yang Dingtian was shocked. A huge bunch of flame containing a powerful strength shot towards him like a grenade. He could immediately feel an extreme heat dominate his senses. His field of vision turned completely red, and he could see nothing but the flames. Whoosh! The Gold-eating Magic lizard took the opportunity to rush at Yang Dingtian behind the flames it spat. Yang Dingtian closed his eyes, stood still, and waited for the huge fireball to arrive. Suddenly, the flame feather that was trembling in his hands was flicked forward. The ninth move and fifth moves of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. Boom... The flame slammed into Yang Dingtians chest. Oh... At the same time, the incomparably huge Gold-eating Magic lizard directly collided with the flame feather in his hands. The feather silently pierced through its brain and cut its whole body in half. Boom... As if he had been hammered by something huge, Yang Dingtian flew dozens of meters away while continuously spit blood in midair. Bang... The huge Gold-eating Magic lizards dead body smashed into the ground with a thunderous thud. S?a??h the N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. This Gold-eating Magic lizard was incredibly cunning. It knew how to use distractions and used fire to attack Yang Dingtian and force him to back off. At the same time, it had rushed forward faster than the speed of the flame it spat out. If Yang Dingtian had tried to dodge it, he would have been immediately been bitten by the as fast as lightning magic lizard. Yang Dingtian instead took this flame attack head-on and struck with the flame feather towards where the Gold-eating magic beast would go. In this way, he managed to kill this cunning rank two beast. Yang Dingtians body slammed into the cavern wall and then slid down its surface. After spitting out blood, he felt for injuries around his chest. Thankfully, his bones were not broken and had only been shaken by the strong impact. The protection provided by the Deep Sea Xuan Shirt was amazing. If he didnt have this precious item, Yang Dingtian wouldnt have dared to withstand the flame attack of this rank two magic lizard. However, hed still suffered a pretty serious injury. He felt like his internal organs were burning and had been torn. Even breathing hurt badly. Yang Dingtian took out a Full Restoration Pill and consumed it. This fifth-rank Full Restoration Pill was indeed magical. As soon as he ate it, it instantly felt like cold water lightly immersed every inch of his internal organs and then spread to all the veins in the body. The burning pain immediately disappeared without a trace as if he hadnt been hurt at all. Instead, he felt more powerful than before he was injured. Ahh, using this fifth-rank Full Restoration Pill was too wasteful! Yang Dingtian approached the Gold-eating Magic lizards corpse and quickly dug out its demon nucleus. The demon nucleus of the second rank beast was a little bigger. The gloss was brighter, and the line texture was more complicated. Now, he had two gold-type demon nuclei on hand. It was time to kill the ice-type beast. As soon as he got the ice-type demon nucleus and left this horrifying place, this trips mission would have been completed. Yang Dingtian stowed away the demon nucleus securely, held his flame feather forward, reached the end of the ore mine, and slid down the wall of the cave to reach the bottom of the huge cave. The four lone ice-type beasts that were in the unfreezing pond merely stared at Yang Dingtian alertly, not reacting the slightest. It was obvious that they believed no one could enter the unfreezing water and thus felt extremely safe. After killing the rank two Gold-eating Magic lizard, Yang Dingtian wasnt too worried about these four low-rank ice-type beasts. Ice-type beasts might be deadly to other people, but to him who had the Nine Yang Xuan Veins, it was completely a different story. The attack of the gold-eating beast, on the other hand, was much more dangerous to him. Yang Dingtian walked over and picked up the Bloody Black Gold. It wasnt distorted but was now covered with lots of beast blood. After he put away the Bloody Black Gold, Yang Dingtian carefully observed the four ice-type beasts in the unfreezing pond and thought about how to kill one of them to get its demon nucleus. They were four water snakes with snow-white bodies and four legs. They were about three meters long and had transparent ice horns at the top of their heads. Yang Dingtian knew about this type of snake. When he was reading aboard the ship, one of the books talked about this type of snake. It was called the Four-Legged Cold Snake. It doesnt secrete a traditional poison. Instead, it injects a bunch of cold poison into the body of its victim. The blood of the person who was bitten would be instantly frozen, and he would die. On top of that, this type of snake could spit out ice blades that could easily slice a persons neck. Although Yang Dingtian wasnt extremely afraid of this type of snake, it was still best to not let them surround him. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous. The best way to do this was to bait one of them to the ground. This unfreezing water was approximately negative sixty to negative seventy degrees Celsius. The current Yang Dingtian could withstand that for dozens of minutes, but the water was still the snakes territory. Entering would put him in a disadvantageous position. Yang Dingtian took out a box from his bag and opened it. A cold aura instantly spread out. Inside the box lay a crystal-clear blue pearl. This was the Frozen Ice Pearl. It was an energy form frozen at an ice-cold place and was the ice-type beasts favorite food. Of course, this precious item had been given to him by Ningning. But, she never told Yang Dingtian how valuable it was. It was more than enough to exchange for a high-quality demon nucleus. Yang Dingtian placed the Frozen Ice Pearl on the ground and found a place to hide. He wanted to bait a cold snake out of the water and out onto the ground. He waited for one minute, two minutes, three minutes... Chapter 67: Top Elite Chapter 67: Top EliteTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Ten minutes passed! The four cold snakes looked at the pearl several times but eventually did not leave the water. How could this be? The Frozen Ice Pearl had a deadly attractive power towards ice-type beasts, no lesser than the attraction of Bloody Black Gold towards gold-eating beasts. But why did these four snakes seem to be unaffected? However, Yang Dingtian eventually realized the reason. For the snakes, this unfreezing pond already had sufficient ice-cold Xuan energy for them to absorb till the end of time. Although this Frozen Ice Pearls ice-cold Xuan energy was very thick, it wasnt that useful for low-rank ice-type beasts. This method wont work. Yang Dingtian retrieved his Frozen Ice Pearl and eventually thought of another way, which was to provoke the anger of one of the snakes. Thus, Yang Dingtian dug out many stones, picked one up, and threw it towards one of the cold snakes. The snake avoided the stone and stared at Yang Dingtian angrily, expressing its anger by making some Sii Sii sounds. Yang Dingtian ignored it and threw another stone. The snake avoided it again, and its small eyes continued to stare at Yang Dingtian with rage. He threw another stone at the snake. Whoosh That snake spit out an ice blade, which immediately cut the stone in midair. Yang Dingtian threw another stone, and that snake angrily spat an ice blade towards him. He waved his flame feather, and the ice blade melted before even hitting him. Then, he threw countless stones, causing all four cold snakes to become enraged and agitated. They all spat ice blades at Yang Dingtian, but those blades were all melted by his flame feather. Finally, the four snakes had completely exhausted their ice-cold Xuan energy. However, they still did not come ashore. Yang Dingtian threw stones again, but his targets ultimately dove down into the pond. As such, he was out of ideas. Could it be that I need to get in the water? Yang Dingtian was depressed. He couldnt leave with nothing. Ill just go in the water since the four snakes have already used up their ice-cold Xuan energy. Yang Dingtian clenched his teeth, looked at the unfreezing pond exuding such a frigid aura, held his breath, and jumped in. Boom... Yang Dingtians body broke into the calm unfreezing water. Ah... It really was bone-freezingly cold. Yang Dingtians body kept shuddering, and his body heat vanished immediately. He had expected a certain degree of coldness from the unfreezing water, but when he actually jumped in, only then did he realize that the temperature was far lower he could imagine. Instantly, he felt his own body slightly seize up. By now, the four snakes had already seen Yang Dingtian jump into the unfreezing pool. They instantly fiercely glared at him and rushed over at him. Each had a three-to-four-meter-long body and opened its mouth, baring its sharp teeth. They werent so furious when Yang Dingtian annoyed them previously, but right now, their gazes were completely filled with violence and strong killing intent. This was because they regarded this unfreezing pond as their territory. They would naturally want to kill Yang Dingtian, a foreign enemy who had invaded their territory. The four snakes instantly arrived, and Yang Dingtian waved the flame feather in his hand, preparing for battle. The worst part was that his entire body was stiff at that point in time, and being in the water, his speed was many times lower than before. Sii Sii Sii... Two of the snakes jumped out of the water, opened their mouths, and were about to bite his head. Whoosh Whoosh..... Yang Dingtians flame feather rushed out of the water surface, shaking terribly. Although his speed was much slower, his techniques were still as unique as usual. Chak Chak Chak... Instantly, two of the snakes in midair were chopped into dozens of pieces by Yang Dingtian. Then, both of his legs went numb and cold as he was bitten by the other two snakes, and the cold poison spread so rapidly that both of his legs became completely numb and stiff as if they were no longer his. Those two cold snakes were latched onto Yang Dingtians ankle. Their long bodies were wrapped around his legs and were furiously trying to drag him down. He had to leave the pool or it would be too dangerous. Yang Dingtian didnt have the chance to retrieve the cold snakes demon nucleus from the water. He stabbed the flame feather into a rock by the shore and used the strength of both of his hands to propel himself out of the water. Bang! Yang Dingtian had used all his strength. Clutching the flame feather with both of his hands, he shot out of the water and landed on the ground by the pond. His entire body rolled across the ground. The water snakes wrapped around his legs immediately let go and bounced off the ground, intending to escape back into the water. Yang Dingtian moved the flame feather in his hands, and a bright light shot out. Whoosh Whoosh... Instantly, one of the snakes in the air was sliced into two pieces by the flame feather and fell to the ground. The fiery flame feather made a circle in the air and flew back to Yang Dingtians hand. He immediately checked the injuries on his ankles. There were two deep holes that were already completely frozen. His entire leg had turned blue and was frozen. However, Yang Dingtian still had the powerful Nine Yang Xuan Veins. After he left the unfreezing pond, the cold poison that was previously spreading upwards had gradually stopped, and a warm energy slowly returned to his legs. Both of his legs regained their normal temperatures and strength inch by inch. In just five minutes, the blue, cold poison was forced out of his body by his Xuan Veins and dripped out of his wounds. Yang Dingtians legs returned to their normal condition. Yang Dingtian walked towards the corpse of one of the four cold snakes and dug out its demon nucleus. It was an extremely beautiful demon nucleus that was crystal clear with different types of line marks. S?a??h the ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The fourth demon nucleus is in hand with only one left. Yang Dingtian stowed the ice-type demon nucleus in front of him away, his heart filled with satisfaction. Although there were some unexpected events that were even life-threatening, he eventually managed to get both gold and ice-type demon nuclei. Its time to leave. Sister Ningning mustve have waited all this time. Yang Dingtian reluctantly looked at the unfreezing pond because there might have been many precious items beneath the water surface. The most important thing now is the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation. Anything other than that needs to be put on hold. I must definitely not get into any trouble, Yang Dingtian thought. He then placed the ice-type demon nucleus into the box and prepared to leave the ore mine. At that moment, the voice of an old person sounded out. The voice was extremely coarse as if the speakers throat was burned in the past. Young man, Ive watched you for a while, and there are a few things that I find strange. Could you explain them to me? ********* Yang Dingtian was instantly shocked. There was someone here? Who? Obviously, hed already been here for some time, but Yang Dingtian had not realized it. Would Sister Ningning be in danger? Yang Dingtian thought of another important matter. Who are you, elder? Why didnt you show yourself? Yang Dingtian tried to calm his breathing and slowly asked, but he was getting goosebumps. Your entire body is filled with precious treasures, but youre only at the enlightenment period. When you were injured, you used a Fifth-Rank Full Restoration Pill. You even used Bloody Black Gold to bait low-rank golden beasts, used a Frozen Ice Pearl to attract low-rank ice-type beasts. And finally, you used your own body to bait the cold snake just for its first-rank demon nucleus. The elder said, This is all too strange. Any one of the things youre carrying can easily be exchanged for tens of thousands of demon nuclei, so why did you risk your life for these demon nuclei? Only if you hunt it yourself is it truly yours, Yang Dingtian answered. Well said, the old man answered. But you are still hiding the truth. I think you want to use these demon nuclei to form a certain formation to achieve a breakthrough in your Xuan energy. Yang Dingtian was shocked. The Pig-Killing Swordsmanship was an absolute secret. How did he know? It is not difficult to guess. There are many formations in this world that need demon nuclei, and it needs to be demon nuclei hunted by the user himself. You are just an enlightener. You cant use the ruling method to refine the soul or create a puppet soul. You can only be trying to achieve a breakthrough with your own Xuan veins. The old man continued, Every Xuan Energy Soul Eating Array is extremely mysterious. Can you tell me? The Yin Yang Five-Element Formation requires five demon nuclei to form a five-pointed star array/formation. Both of these things were not uncommon. Whats rare was that this formation only worked when both moons covered the sun, which only happened during the Yin Yang Festival. The Yin Yang festival represents the creation of the heavens and the earth and is based on the fate of the universe. It is an event that is difficult to comprehend. Therefore, the most important thing in the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation is this formula. Without it, the formation would be useless. Elder, this is just a way for a beginner like me to break through. It wont be useful for an elite like you, said Yang Dingtian. I also have younger generations under me. This type of formation is very hard to find, so I want to know, the elder said slowly. Oh! Suddenly, an incomparably powerful force sucked away the box, which contained two gold demon nuclei and one ice demon nucleus, from Yang Dingtians hands. This was a top master. He could snatch away things from a distance, and Yang Dingtian had no means to resist. You have worked hard to get these three demon nuclei, even at the risk of your life, so these three demon nuclei are definitely very important for you. The elder slowly said, So tell me that formula and formation. Otherwise, I will destroy these three demon nuclei. Yang Dingtian forcefully held his anger in and said coldly, You are a master elder but have no manners at all, stealing from a member of the younger generation. Manners? I never needed any manners, the elder said. Bang! The sound of an explosion was heard near the wall. Thick layers of ice were blown apart, and an old man with torn clothes and grey hair walked out from the hole. It was a thin old man with thick eyebrows and a curved nose. He looked pitiful. The old man took out the ice demon nucleus with his hand and said slowly, Ill destroy it if you dont tell me. Yang Dingtian clenched his teeth and looked at him without saying a word. Bang.... The old man clenched his fist around the ice demon nucleus, breaking it. Yang Dingtian felt the pain in his heart. Then, the elder placed the two other golden demon nuclei in his hand, looked at Yang Dingtian, and said coldly, Tell me or Ill destroy these two as well. Chapter 68: The Other Side of the Unfreezing Pond Chapter 68: The Other Side of the Unfreezing PondTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Senior, please dont play this kind of trick, Yang Dingtian said slowly. I can still live if I dont tell you, but once I tell you, Ill be dead. The senior instantly sneered and said, Youre not that stupid. Boom! The senior pinched the two remaining gold demon nuclei, causing them to burst. Yang Dingtian went through much hardship to sneak into the territory of the Northwest Qin family and also risked his life for those three demon nuclei. Yet, they were instantly destroyed by the senior. Yang Dingtians heart suddenly burst into endless anger. In fact, no matter what you say, I will destroy your demon nuclei. The senior said, I have failed countless times throughout my life, so I really like to see others fail as well. Haha... The senior made a weird and distorted smile. Whoosh! Then, leaving behind an afterimage, the senior arrived directly in front of Yang Dingtian from hundreds of meters away. Flame feather? The feather of the Xuan Tian Magic Phoenix? The senior looked at the flame feather in Yang Dingtians hand with his eyes brightened and said, How could you use this feather of the Goddess Beast of Heaven and Earth that is of the same rank as the devil scale to kill low ranking beasts? Its too cruel to such a treasure. This treasure is mine now. Its perfect for forging my sword. Then, the Senior immediately snatched the Flame feather from Yang Dingtians hand, took it in his hands covetously, and did not show the slightest guilt in snatching the things of a junior. Lets talk now. Tell me the chant of the Xuan Energy Soul Eating Technique. The senior said, If you dont tell me, Ill kill you. Oh, wait for a moment, the senior suddenly said. There are still two ice-type demon nuclei here. You killed three cold snakes in total. Then, the senior opened his palm. Whoosh whoosh whoosh..... Instantly, the two corpses of the cold snakes were sucked into his hands. It is most likely that there are only these three ice-type beasts within ten thousand miles. If I destroy them, you wont be able to get a single ice demon nucleus. The senior laughed and said, You must have thought that Id threaten you to tell me the chant with these two ice demon nuclei right? Yang Dingtian ignored him. Haha, I wont do that. Ill destroy your last hope now! Then, he clenched his fist, and the two the cold snakes along with their demon nuclei instantly turned into ashes. The feeling of taking away someones hope is too good. The senior closed his eyes and said, Why it is that I am the only one who keeps failing? I was disappointed, and I want others to be in despair too. Haha.... Then, the senior burst into laughter. After he finished laughing, he directly took away Yang Dingtians Bloody Black Gold, held it in his hands, and said, Although its only one piece, its better than nothing, and Im a step closer to forging my sword soul Goddess Sword. Alright, tell me the chant and the formation or you will definitely die, the senior said calmly. Yang Dingtian said, Do I not have to die after I tell you the chant and formation? You will also die but more comfortably. The senior said, If you dont tell me, youll die horribly. For example, Ill first castrate you so that you are no longer a man. How is it? Painful right...? Yang Dingtian had no doubt that he would do it. This senior standing in front of him was a psychopath, a distorted psychopath. Seeing how Yang Dingtian was so quiet, the senior brandished the flame feather towards Yang Dingtians hips while laughing evilly. If Im not mistaken, you are Zhao Wuji from the Horror Mountain Village, Yang Dingtian said suddenly. The senior was a little stunned but then said coldly, How did you know? I have been hiding away from the world for many years. How did Yang Dingtian know? Of course, it was the Dongfang Niemie inside him who told him. S?a?ch* Th? N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The Horror Mountain Village was once a hegemony. It was good but also evil and wasnt listed on the worlds sect list. However, its influence was not small, but when Zhao Wujis generation arrived, he had invited their enemy to slaughter those opposing him in the Mountain Village in order to obtain the Village Head position. Then, they faced a crusade from Cloud Sky City, which forced them to rely on the Northwest Qin Family, completely turning Horror Mountain Village into the vassal of the Northwest Qin Family. But, since about a decade ago when hed failed to cultivate the sword soul, he had completely disappeared from the world and was now surprisingly found here. You are actually not interested in my formation or chant as it is not very useful to you. But youre forcing me just to torture me, Yang Dingtian said. Even if I were to tell you the chant and formation, you would still castrate me and torture me. The senior was a little shocked before smiling. It seems like you know me very well, so why dont you accept your destiny? Who asked you to meet me here? Yang Dingtian continued, You are only so psychopathic because youve failed countless times to cultivate the sword soul, and many of your treasure swords of the sword soul have also been destroyed. One of them even had the essence of flaming veins. The seniors expression changed. He let out a cold laugh and revealed his teeth. What else do you know? Tell me... The reason you are here is due to the possibility that there is a Bloody Black Gold mine beneath this unfreezing pond. There may be dozens of pieces, and you wanted to get them to forge your sword soul treasure sword, Yang Dingtian concluded. The senior began to look at Yang Dingtian seriously and asked, How did you know that there might be a Bloody Black Gold mine here. Which beastmaster told you? It doesnt matter, Mr. Zhao Wuji, Yang Dingtian said. The key is that you couldnt find the entrance to the underground mine. You knew that the entrance is beneath the unfreezing pond, but even if you are an Eight-Star-Honorable-Master-level elite, you wouldnt be able to stay in there for long. Although your cultivation is very strong, your Yang Xuan Veins are less than rank eight, and it would be difficult to resist the chills of the unfreezing water. Zhao Wuji stared coldly at Yang Dingtian. You are saying this just to make me angry and to torture you more cruelly? Of course not, Yang Dingtian said. In order to survive, I might be able to help you find the entrance to the mine that you couldnt find. You? An enlightener? Zhao Wuji asked. Yes, Im an enlightener, Yang Dingtian said. Because my Yang Xuan Veins are five to six ranks higher than yours..... Absurd... Zhao Wuji laughed aloud. It has been centuries since the last person with Ninth rank Xuan Veins appeared. What are you? Yang Dingtian showed a disdainful smile and jumped directly into the unfreezing pond, enduring the cold. Facts are better than eloquence. The power of talent is sometimes better than decades of hard work, and I have the most outstanding talent in the world. Looking at Yang Dingtian swim in the unfreezing pool, Zhao Wujis eyes flashed with incomparable shock and jealousy. He smiled coldly. So what? Why would you be so kind as to find Bloody Black Gold for me when you know that Ill kill you once you find it? Lets talk about it later. Im just trying to live longer, Yang Dingtian said calmly. I am about to find the entrance. Are you coming? After he said that, Yang Dingtian swam into the depths of the unfreezing pond. Zhao Wujis expression changed, and he jumped into the unfreezing pond as well. Enduring the extremely cold, Yang Dingtian swam nonstop towards the bottom, swimming deeper and deeper. The lower he went, the lower the temperature. Originally, he could hold on for 15 minutes on the surface, but at the moment, he could no longer endure the cold here. His Nine Yang Xuan Veins desperately released energy to withstand the cold, but this heat energy was getting weaker and weaker. The surroundings became colder and colder while Yang Dingtians body became weaker and weaker. Zhao Wuji followed closely behind Yang Dingtian, and he has also almost reached his limit. Although the cultivation of his Xuan energy was many times Yang Dingtians, his Xuan Veins were much weaker than the latters. As a result, his ability to resist the cold in the unfreezing pond was more or less equal to Yang Dingtians. Dived twenty meters deep! Thirty meters! Forty meters! Fifty meters! Eighty meters! It should have exceeded negative one hundred degrees Celsius here. Its the lowest temperature Yang Dingtian has ever encountered. Yang Dingtian really could no longer withstand the cold. His entire body had become completely numb and stiff, and he couldnt feel his limbs anymore. Even his heartbeat had slowed. At this moment, his life was in danger, but the bottom of the unfreezing pond had yet to be seen. This was the moment when Yang Dingtian was supposed to return to the surface, or he could be frozen to death here. However, if he were to return to the surface, Zhao Wuji would definitely kill him as he would see that Yang Dingtian was no longer useful. Fight towards the end. Yang Dingtian clenched his teeth, closed his eyes, and continued to dive madly towards the bottom. Zhao Wuji had completely reached his limit and was shocked to see that Yang Dingtian continued to dive madly. He wondered if this unlucky enlightener was trying to die. Fearing that Yang Dingtian would flee, he had the heart to catch up. But, he had completely reached his limit, and at the moment, the ice-cold water had already sealed away his Yang Xuan energy. His limbs were numb. His heartbeat was slower, and he would die in the water if he couldnt return to the surface in time. Zhao Wuji had been cultivating the sword soul for decades. His frequent failures caused his personality to become distorted. He had abandoned the world for dozens of years to fully focus on cultivating the sword soul. He had been here for a month since he found out from a beastmaster about the existence of unfreezing water in this abandoned ore mine. He was here just for the Bloody Black Gold mine that might be hidden beneath the unfreezing pond. During this month, he had dived dozens of times. It wasnt that he couldnt find the entrance but rather that there was only one entrance that could only be reached if he went even lower. But, it got narrower and narrower as one dove deeper. The entire unfreezing pond resembled the shape of a funnel. The reason he had failed so many times was because he could only dive around eighty meters deep at most. He would die if he were to go deeper. He thought of countless ways, took countless pills, wore countless kinds of armor, but the deepest he could go was still eighty meters. According to his estimates, this unfreezing pond was over two hundred meters deep, and he couldnt even go halfway down towards the bottom. Looking at Yang Dingtian who was diving deeper and deeper in front of him, looking at how his body had already turned blue, Zhao Wuji eventually gave up on the thought to chase him, thinking that he still had a lot of time and that he doesnt have to risk freezing to death in this unfreezing water. Go, go, lucky you. Being frozen to death is much better than being tortured to death by me. At least youd have a complete corpse, Zhao Wuji thought as he turned back to return to the surface. Yang Dingtian dove deeper and deeper, deeper and deeper. Eighty-five meters! Ninety meters! He could no longer feel his entire body. There was no chance of survival even if he were to give up now and try to return to the surface. At this moment, the volume of his surroundings was merely half of the surface. It was getting narrower the deeper he went. The estimated depth of this pond was two hundred meters, but he hadnt even reached the halfway point, and Yang Dingtian could, at most, go a dozen meters deeper. Ninety-five meters! Yang Dingtians soul had been frozen. He didnt even know the temperature anymore, which was actually negative a hundred and fifty-six degrees Celsius. Ninety-nine meters! Yang Dingtian lost all consciousness! Boom! With his final determination, he moved forward with his last remaining spirit and hit something. It felt like something broke. Then, his body flipped over and floated up rapidly. His body that was completely sealed by the cold gradually regained its warmth. Motionlessly, his body floated up nonstop, and the surrounding water grew warmer and warmer. In the end, Yang Dingtian completely regained his consciousness and felt himself floating upwards. The volume of the surrounding area was growing larger and larger. The distance from the surface grew closer and closer while the light became brighter and brighter. Oh... Yang Dingtian broke through the surface of the water. Chapter 69: The Largest Bloody Black Gold Throughout History Chapter 69: The Largest Bloody Black Gold Throughout HistoryTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Oh... Yang Dingtian broke the surface of the water. The water here is so warm! Of course, this was just Yang Dingtians feeling. The water temperature was still around negative ten degrees Celsius, but this temperature was already high enough such thatYang Dingtian felt warm. The moment he surfaced, something shone brightly in front of him. He was in a pond whose surface area was similar to the unfreezing pond in the abandoned ore mine. The pond was also located in a huge cave, and the surroundings were covered with a layer of ice. It all looked crystal-clear like a crystal palace. There was a hole in the wall of the cave and a passage behind that hole. The passage was covered with all kinds of crystal that were red and purple, all dazzling and beautiful. The structure here was almost identical to the huge cave deep in the abandoned ore mine. While Yang Dingtian was feeling delighted, he suddenly had a strange feeling but wasnt sure what it was. After climbing out of the water and walking onto the ice, he realized why he felt so strange. He jumped into the unfreezing pond and dove all the way down. When he reached a hundred meters deep, the water temperature rose, and he actually floated up rapidly when he was supposed to sink. Looking at this quiet pond surface and huge cave, Yang Dingtian understood something. This place was actually anti-gravity? This place was beneath the abandoned ore mine, and Yang Dingtian emerged out of the pond surface here after diving over two hundred meters. Based on the orientation, the water surface was actually on the ceiling, and Yang Dingtian was standing on the top of the cave. However, he did not fall. Apparently, the shape of the unfreezing pond wasnt a funnel but an hourglass. As soon as one dove over a hundred meters deep, one will enter the anti-gravity area and rapidly float up. Yang Dingtian clenched his teeth and risked his life, and now, not only had he survived, but hed also arrived at this magical place. Bloody Black Gold. Yang Dingtian immediately thought of something. Where there was an unfreezing pool, there would also be a huge fire-nature mine. Zhao Wuji came here just for the Bloody Black Gold. Yang Dingtian immediately began his search for the Bloody Black Gold. Soon, he found the first piece of Bloody Black Gold located on the wall in the passage, a fiery red piece among a bunch of crystals. Yang Dingtian climbed up the cave wall, entered the hole, and walked into the two-meter-high passage. Master, this Bloody Black Gold is different from that piece we obtained from the wild, Yang Dingtian said. The Bloody Black Gold here is redder, blood red. Dongfang Niemie seemed to be a little stunned. After a long time, he sighed and said, Its really a blessing in disguise. This blessing is profound. This is top-quality Bloody Black Gold that has been condensing for over ten thousand years. Compared to the Bloody Black Gold used to forge my sword, its purity is ten times greater. Son, were you really sent down by God? Dongfang Niemie sighed. Otherwise, how could this kind of Bloody Black Gold that has been condensing for thousands of years appear before you? Yang Dingtian was excited and asked while trembling, Master, then shall I dig it out? En, dig carefully, Dongfang Niemie replied. Yang Dingtian drew his dagger, held the Bloody Black Gold with one hand, ignored the burning, and carefully dug out the entire piece. He could clearly feel it as the Bloody Black Gold left the crystal wall. There was a soul-like entity that trembled as if there was a heavy heart and also a little happiness. A heavy heart because the crystal has nurtured it for so long. Happiness because it can finally leave and enter the world. Master, its really strange. I felt that as if this Bloody Black Gold has a life, Yang Dingtian said. Not life but spirit! Dongfang Niemie replied. Its a treasure that is over ten thousand years old. It definitely has a spirit. Using this kind of Bloody Black Gold to forge the sword cuts the effort needed to cultivate the sword soul in half while producing twice the results. I really cant imagine how stunning your future sword will be. Yang Dingtian heavy-heartedly placed the Bloody Black Gold into a special bag and continued walking forward. Master, I hope that this is not the only piece in this mine. It wont. Since there are an anti-gravity field and the unfreezing pond, there will be more than one. It will be a huge mine that may contain dozens of pieces, Dongfang Niemie explained. Continue inside. Yang Dingtian continued walking through the cave. There were red and purple crystals everywhere, and the passage was not manmade but naturally formed. Master, are these crystals useful? This is the most outstanding Fire Distant Crystal, and one of them is worth at least a few thousand gold coins, Dongfang Niemie said. But, it is not of much use to you. You can take a few of them with you when you leave to make accessories for Yanyan. Yang Dingtian walked another few dozen meters into the cave to search for the next piece of Bloody Black Gold. Of course, there was another piece, and it came as a pair this time. There was one on the left and another on the right side of the cave wall. Yang Dingtian became excited again. He stepped forward to dig out both ten-thousand-year-old pieces and placed them in the special bag. Then, he walked another few dozen meters and found five pieces in a corner. He kept going, and the deeper he went, the higher the temperature rose. Towards the end, it was as if he were in a stove. This natural mine was really deep. Yang Dingtian walked over two thousand meters and dug out thirty-two pieces of Bloody Black Gold. Although he was able to carry a few hundred jin, his speed was still slowed by the weight. (TL note: One jin is equivalent to 500 grams.) Gradually, however, the number of pieces grew fewer and fewer, from one every few dozen meters to one every few hundred meters to finally none within thousands of meters. At the moment, Yang Dingtian was already over five thousand meters deep and had mined over forty-five pieces. He dragging it all along with him as he went. In the last one thousand five hundred meters, there was not even a single piece of Bloody Black Gold. Because the temperature in the cave was over a hundred degrees Celsius, if Yang Dingtian hadnt gone through three stages of vein cleansing, he wouldve already been dead. Master, it seems that were about to reach the end. There should be no more Bloody Black Gold pieces right? Dongfang Niemie answered, Probably not. Generally, the number of pieces in a mine is a multiple of nine. It is already an incomparably huge mine to have forty-five Bloody Black Gold pieces over ten thousand years old. s?a??h th? ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Then, shall I go back? Yang Dingtian asked. But, its a shame that there werent any gold or ice-type beasts here, or I couldve replaced the two demon nuclei that Zhao Wuji destroyed. Thinking about this, Yang Dingtians excitement diminished. Although obtaining forty-five Bloody Black Gold pieces was a happy event, his main purpose here was to hunt for demon nuclei. Now that the demon nuclei were destroyed, especially the ice demon nucleus, he wont be able to use the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation in seven days, and he wont be able to achieve a breakthrough in his Xuan energy. Also, another huge problem was how to go back. Of course, he could go back to the unfreezing pool, but how could he also bring back nine hundred jin of Bloody Black Gold? In addition, Zhao Wuji was guarding the place, so he wouldnt be able to leave the mine by himself. Also, its been approximately five hours since he entered the abandoned ore mine, so it was close sunset outside. Its almost reached the time when he promised to meet Ningning, and if he couldnt make it out in time, hes afraid that she might enter the ore mine to find him. Then, she might fall into the hands of that psychopath, Zhao Wuji. What is at the end of this crystal cave? Could it be another exit? Yang Dingtian thought in his heart as he looked towards the end of the mine. Yang Dingtian was ambivalent about whether or not to continue walking to the end of the crystal mine. As the temperature was getting higher and higher, it was becoming more and more unbearable. Try and see. If there is another exit, you will be able to escape Zhao Wuji and prevent Ningning from entering the mine and meeting him, Yang Dingtian decided in his heart. Then, he clenched his teeth hard and continued walking ahead, even though there was no more Bloody Black Gold ahead. Every step he took soon became extremely difficult. It was like he was walking across a fire pit. If Ningning hadnt applied some medicine to Yang Dingtians hair, his hair wouldve all burned away. Ten meters. Twenty meters. Thirty meters! Finally, Yang Dingtian reached the end of the crystal mine. He reached the end after turning a corner. There was an extremely bright light and an extremely hot atmosphere there. Yang Dingtians entire body was dehydrated, and his lips were dry like wood. He clenched his teeth and crossed the remaining few meters. After passing around another corner, he was instantly shocked when he reached the end of the crystal passage. There was no exit but rather a huge cave with boiling hot lava at the bottom of it. This was not what that freaked Yang Dingtian out, though. It was all the Bloody Black Gold all over the cave walls. They were all close together like countless beautiful fireballs growing on the black wall, each appearing incomparably beautiful. Yang Dingtian was stunned. Dongfang Niemie was also stunned. Oh my God..., Dongfang Niemie said. Such a huge Bloody Black Gold mine actually existed in the world. The largest mine that Ive seen in my entire life only had over a hundred of them. Even the largest Bloody Black Gold mine on record only has 198 pieces. How many are there here? Yang Dingtian was completely shocked! After being stunned for ten minutes, Yang Dingtian began to count the number of pieces here. There were too many, and it was so dazzling that he had to start from the beginning many times. Finally, the number he got was 954. Add those to the ones Yang Dingtian already had in hand, it was a total of 999, the largest Bloody Black Gold mine in history. Yang Dingtian was overwhelmed with happiness. He needed 999 pieces of Bloody Black Gold to forge a high-quality treasure sword. Previously, Dongfang Niemie had spent a few years to collect 999 pieces. Now, Yang Dingtian managed to find 999 in one go. This signified that the main ingredients required to forge the treasure sword have already been obtained. Whats left to do was to personally forge it. Moreover, these 999 ten-thousand-year-old pieces were ten times better than ordinary Bloody Black Gold. Therefore, the sword that can be forged from these 999 pieces would not be just a treasure sword but something even higher than that, probably an emperor sword that has never before existed in history! Chapter 70: Killing Zhao Wu Ji (Part 1) Chapter 70: Killing Zhao Wu Ji (Part 1)Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales However, it was time to consider reality after all the excitement. It would not be an easy task to take away these 999 pieces of Bloody Black Gold. They grew on the surrounding cave walls, and these walls were tall and steep with nowhere to latch onto. Moreover, there was horrible magma down below, which will instantly kill you if you fall. On top of that, you would need to spend a few days and nights to collect all of these pieces. At that time, perhaps Ningning would have already entered the ore mine to find Yang Dingtian and fallen into the hands of Zhao Wuji. Immediately, Yang Dingtian calmed down. At the moment, the nearest Bloody Black Gold piece was only two inches above. Yang Dingtian couldnt resist but reach his hand out to touch it. Be careful. Dont move and dont touch, Dongfang Niemie shouted. Yang Dingtian instantly stopped his movement. Dongfang Niemie said, Look down, into the magma. Yang Dingtian immediately looked down. All that he saw was a pair of eyes in the magma that was calmly looking at Yang Dingtian. An incomparably gigantic beast was swimming in the magma. He couldnt see how huge it was to be exact, but it seemed as if its head was the size of a table. As such, how large its body was could be imagined. Dont touch the Bloody Black Gold here. This is its territory, and it treats these pieces as its assets. Youll be killed immediately if you touch it, Dongfang Niemie said. Master, what type of beast is this? The Lord of the Abyss, Dongfang Niemie said. I shouldve thought of it. These 999 Bloody Black Gold pieces are just like Gods treasure. How could it be possible that it is not guarded by a powerful beast? Is it that powerful? Yang Dingtian asked. Its extremely powerful, Dongfang Niemie said. Yang Dingtian unwillingly looked at these pieces of Bloody Black Gold and glanced at the Lord of the Abyss in the magma. Son, if its yours, it will eventually be yours. Its just a matter of time, Dongfang Niemie said. Its useless even if you are able to take away this treasure now because you cant forge a sword without the Xuan Fire of the Heaven and Earth. Not only would these pieces of Bloody Black Gold not be of any use to you, but it will instead only bring you disaster. This is Gods treasure, and anyone who knows about it will have a greedy heart. Master, then when will I have the Xuan Fire of Heaven and Earth? asked Yang Dingtian. When you become a Xuan Martial Artist level elite at the very minimum. At that time, you could search for a Xuan Fire and turn it into the heart fire of the Energy Sea. Once you are able to cultivate the heart fire, the quality of your Xuan energy will jump, Dongfang Niemie said. Every elite must cultivate the heart fire, not just to forge weapons but also to make medicines. Most importantly, all Xuan techniques require the proficient use of heart fire. Eventually, heart fire needs to be used each time one washes ones bones and veins. Is heart fire so important? Yang Dingtian asked. Of course, the fire of the heart is as important as martial arts, and Xuan techniques cant exist without the fire of the heart. To a martial artist, the possession of the fire of the heart is the criteria to determine whether a martial artist is weak or strong, Dongfang Niemie explained. There will be two occasions where a martial artist can increase his cultivation speed. The first is when he starts to cultivate a secret scroll. At that time, he can jump two to three ranks. The second is during the cultivation of the fire of the heart. Once he manages to cultivate the fire of the heart, the rank of his Xuan energy will also be elevated through a powerful breakthrough. Even if its for the sake of these ten-thousand-year-old Bloody Black Gold pieces, I will use the fastest speed to cultivate until I become a Xuan-Martial-Artist-level elite, said Yang Dingtian. Master believes that you will be able to do so, Dongfang Niemie said. For others, a good Xuan fire will be sufficient. But for you, you must find the Xuan Fire that is of the heaven and earth level. The reason is that if you want to completely melt these ten-thousand-year-old pieces of Bloody Black Gold, you must use Xuan Fire that is of that level. Which is why before you obtain that kind of Xuan Fire, you wont be able to forge a splendid soul sword even if you have all of this Bloody Black Gold, Dongfang Niemie said. As such, leaving this treasure here is the right decision. Will all this Bloody Black Gold not be eaten by this Lord of the Abyss? asked Yang Dingtian. It wont. A Lord of the Abyss is not a gold-eating beast. It absorbs the energy of the magma to survive, Dongfang Niemie said: Back to what I said, if its yours, it will eventually be yours. Before you successfully cultivate the Heaven-and-Earth-level Xuan fire, leave this Bloody Black Gold here. Then, I have to wait until I reach what level for me to be able to kill this Lord of the Abyss and take away all of this Bloody Black Gold? asked Yang Dingtian. In two years time, when you manage to break through to become a Nine-star Xuan Martial Artist elite and possess the Xuan Fire that is of the heaven and earth level, then master will have a way for you to kill this Lord of the Abyss, Dongfang Niemie said. The key is to have the right Xuan Fire or you wont be able to kill this Lord of the Abyss even when you become a Guru-level elite. This beast should be the lord within a thousand miles. I understand, Master. Yang Dingtian turned around and said, And the most important matter now is the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation I need to use in four days. If I miss this Yin Yang Festival that only occurs once in three centuries, then there will be no hope for me to achieve a breakthrough in my Xuan energy, and it will be meaningless for me to obtain all this Bloody Black Gold. Therefore, the remaining three types of demon nuclei are all that I need now. Correct, Dongfang Niemie said. Im really glad that you are thinking clearly. Yang Dingtian immediately decided to leave this place and return to collect the Bloody Black Gold that belongs to him when he became a Xuan Martial Artist elite and possessed the Xuan Fire that is of the heaven and earth level. Currently, the most important matter is to obtain the gold, ice, and electric-type demon nuclei. All of the ice demon nuclei have been destroyed by Zhao Wuji. Even the corpses of the two remaining cold snakes were destroyed. But, there is still one cold snake left that had escaped from Yang Dingtian. It escaped to a deep part of the unfreezing pond. As long as it is found and its demon nucleus is obtained, Yang Dingtians mission of the day would be completed. As there are tons of gold-eating beasts in the Mainland, even in the red forest, getting another one will just be a little dangerous. In short, the key lay in the ice demon nucleus. Whether it was hunting for the only remaining ice demon nucleus or wanting to leave this place and prevent Ningning from falling into danger, there was one person who could not be avoided: the psychopath, Zhao Wuji. He was guarding the unfreezing pond, so it would be impossible for Yang Dingtian to avoid him. He was an Honorable Master elite, and even if Yang Dingtian were to fight against him with Ningning, they wouldnt be able to beat a single finger of his. The distorted Zhao Wuji had snatched away everything that Yang Dingtian had, destroying the demon nuclei that he risked his life to obtain and wanting to torture him to death. However, the main danger was that he knew of the existence of Bloody Black Gold here. 999 ten-thousand-year-old Bloody Black Gold pieces represented Yang Dingtians splendid sword in the future, and it was his biggest guarantee in cultivating a powerful sword soul. It was also his main basis for defeating Dongfang Bingling in five years. This was a secret that must not be known by anyone else. Therefore, Zhao Wuji had to die. He had to die no matter what. If he doesnt die, Yang Dingtian and Ningning will both die tragic deaths. Master, I need to kill Zhao Wuji, but it is very risky, said Yang Dingtian. Dongfang Niemie agreed. Go! If he doesnt die today, you will! Yang Dingtian clenched his fist and left the crystal mine carrying the 49 pieces of Bloody Black Gold. He ran quickly for a few kilometers and returned to the other side of the unfreezing pond. He hid the bag of Bloody Black Gold carefully and took out three pieces. Then, he jumped into the unfreezing pond and dove nonstop towards the bottom. His diving speed was much faster as he was carrying three pieces of Bloody Black Gold that weighed over fifty jin. Moreover, this time, he was not as cold as before because the Bloody Black Gold kept releasing a powerful heat energy. Dove 80 meters. Dove 90 meters. 98 meters.... Yang Dingtians entire body was frozen but still had some remaining consciousness unlike the last time when it was as if his soul had frozen. Right before he was about to pass out, he pushed forward once more and passed the 100-meter border line. Immediately, Yang Dingtian was flipped over in the water and entered a different gravity field where he began to float upwards. Due to the three pieces of Bloody Black Gold that he was carrying, he was rising much slower than last time and even had to swim up by himself. However, the water got warmer and warmer, and so, he eventually didnt freeze to death. Ah... Yang Dingtian broke through the surface of the pond. Then, he lost complete control of his entire body and was moved by a powerful force. Zhao Wuji, who was sitting nearby, grabbed Yang Dingtians neck tightly and looked at him in disbelief. You didnt die? You actually didnt die? How did you not die? Yang Dingtian said, Senior, I did not die. There is really Bloody Black Gold down there, and Ive found the entrance. You just have to dive 100 meters deep and you will find the entrance. There is really a Bloody Black Gold mine down there. Zhao Wuji tightened his palm, and Yang Dingtians neck felt extremely painful and was about to break. Is there really Bloody Black Gold? Zhao Wuji asked as he trembled. You know what the consequences are if you dare lie to me? Senior, please let go of me. Ill show it to you, Yang Dingtian said. Zhao Wuji instantly threw Yang Dingtian to the ground. Yang Dingtian took out a ten-thousand-of-year-old piece of Bloody Black Gold from his sleeves and handed it to Zhao Wuji. Zhao Wuji was stunned. His expression was the same as if hed been struck by lightning. He looked at the Bloody Black Gold in disbelief. Ten-thousand-year-old Bloody Black Gold? Ten-thousand-year-old Bloody Black Gold? Zhao Wuji trembled. The best that Ive seen was merely hundred-year-old Bloody Black Gold. God, youve made me fail nine times because that Bloody Black Gold was too poor in quality. It was for me to get this ten-thousand-year-old Bloody Black Gold, right? I understand. I understand... Haha.... Zhao Wuji had a long laugh as he played with the treasure in his palm. An incomparably powerful Xuan energy burst out, and the entire cave shook. Walls cracked and pieces of large stone fell down, slamming into the ground. It was as if the whole cave was about to collapse. An Honorable Master Elite was really incomparably powerful! Yang Dingtian stared at Zhao Wuji who was almost insane. S?a?ch* Th? N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Today, Zhao Wuji must die. Otherwise, he, Yang Dingtian, will die! There was no doubt that this idea was crazy. Yang Dingtian was merely an enlightener, but Zhao Wuji was an Honorable Master Elite. In terms of strength, ten thousand Yang Dingtians would not be his opponent. Senior, I have an idea, Yang Dingtian told Zhao Wuji with a gentle and smiling expression. Chapter 71: The Death of Zhao Wu Ji (Part 2) Chapter 71: The Death of Zhao Wu Ji (Part 2)Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Tell me how many pieces of Bloody Black Gold there are, Zhao Wuji demanded. Are there 99 of them? There are one hundred and eight of them. Ive counted many times, Yang Dingtian said. But, most of them are growing on a cliff, and there is boiling magma at the bottom. I only managed to dig out three of them after going through lots of hardship and almost dropped down into the magma. Yang Dingtian took out the two remaining ten-thousand-year-old Bloody Black Gold. Immediately, Zhao Wuji was no longer suspicious and asked, What idea do you have? Tell me about it. Senior, this is Bloody Black Gold that is ten thousand years old. Even one piece surpasses others of its kind over ten times over. As a result, these 99 pieces are already sufficient to forge the most powerful sword. Yang Dingtian looked at Zhao Wuji and said, Then, the remaining 9 would not be of any use to you. Could you give them to me? Im the only one who knows the path, and Ill bring you there. Out of 108 pieces, you take 99, and Ill take 9. Deal? Zhao Wuji stared at him coldly. Do you think that you are in a position to bargain? You have already told me to dive 100 meters down. How can I not know how to get there? You wont be able to find the Bloody Black Gold mine without me showing you the way. You can try it if you dont believe me, Yang Dingtian said. I only want 9 pieces, which wont be useful to you anyway. You can either make a promise with me or just kill me! Zhao Wuji raised his palm lightly and showed a violent gaze, wanting to kill Yang Dingtian with one hit. Treasures are really tempting, so much so that you arent even scared of death. Zhao Wuji gave a cold sneer and put down his hands. Show me the way, and Ill give you 9 of them. Thats the deal. Make an oath now, Yang Dingtian said. Zhao Wujis expression turned angry, and there was a glimpse of killing intent. Then, he clenched his teeth and said, Later on, I will definitely split 9 pieces of Bloody Black Gold that is of ten thousand years old to give to this young man, or I will die terribly. Okay, I will bring you there now. Yang Dingtian said excitedly. Then, he immediately jumped into the unfreezing water and dove down. Dumbass, as soon as I find the Bloody Black Gold mine, I will immediately tear you into pieces, Zhao Wuji said coldly as he stared at Yang Dingtians back. Then, he followed him into the unfreezing pond. ..... He dove to 80 meters below the surface! 90 meters! 95 meters! This was the depth that Zhao Wuji had never reached before, and while Yang Dingtians entire body was already stiff, Zhao Wuji only felt his limbs stiffen. He was still an Honorable Master, and his cold resistance was still stronger than Yang Dingtians. It was just that he was more cautious before and thought that the pond was 200 meters deep. When 80 meters was not even halfway down, he thought hed freeze to death before reaching the bottom. It couldnt be that this child wants me to freeze to death here. Zhao Wuji was a little worried and was about to kill Yang Dingtian in the water. Yang Dingtian, who was in front, instantly rushed forward, pushing through 100 meters, rolled over in the water, and began to float up. Zhao Wuji rushed forward as well and found it weird that he began to float after flipping over. There is an anti-gravity field here? Zhao Wuji was shocked and happy. An anti-gravity field could only be formed when two large energy forces repel, which indicated that there really was a huge Bloody Black Gold mine beneath the pond. It seems that Yang Dingtian had not lied to him. Ah! Instantly, the two of them floated to the water surface, the other side of unfreezing pond. Looking at this huge cave after experiencing the anti-gravity field, Zhao Wuji was extremely shocked and said to Yang Dingtian, Please show me the way. Okay, follow me. Yang Dingtian went up and climbed into the crystal cave hole, walking towards the inside while Zhao Wuji followed closely behind. Following the crystal mine passage, Yang Dingtian walked deeper and deeper, and the surrounding temperature became higher and higher. The ice that Yang Dingtian held in his hands had completely melted. He was smarter this time as he had consumed a stomach-full of ice water beforehand so that he wont be dehydrated later on. Two thousand meters into the passage. Three thousand meters. Four thousand meters. Zhao Wuji became more and more impatient as he asked, Why have we not arrived yet? How far is it? Soon, soon. Yang Dingtian continued walking forward. If you dare to lie to me, I guarantee that I will let you experience all kinds of pain before you die, Zhao Wuji said coldly. Still have one thousand meters to go, Yang Dingtian said as he continued walking forward. The further they went, the higher the temperature rose. Zhao Wujis hair and eyebrows began to curl. He rubbed them with his palm, and all of his hair and eyebrows were instantly shaved away, leaving only his shiny head behind. Child, Ill let you live for a little while longer. As soon as I find the Bloody Black Gold, Ill make sure that you die without a burial ground, Zhao Wuji said angrily in his heart. They walked another thousand meters, and the heat at that moment was already unbearable. Yang Dingtian stood before the last corner and said, Senior, its right there. I cant go any further or Ill be burned alive..... At the moment, Yang Dingtians voice was completely husky as his throat had completely dried up. This was already the end of the crystal mine, and they could already see large amounts of blinding light. Zhao Wujis eyes were wide open, and his heart was beating extremely fast. He moved forward step-by-step, but he slowed down as he was afraid that Yang Dingtian was lying to him. He could no longer handle another failure. Zhao Wuji walked past the last corner, and his eyes instantly widened! He was shocked and surprised! He was so happy to the extent that he was about to go insane as he beheld everything before his eyes. The walls of the huge cave were filled with countless pieces of Bloody Black Gold that were ten thousand years old. Although he didnt know how many there were, it was definitely more than the 108 Yang Dingtian said there were. But at the moment, he no longer cared. Who would complain about too much treasure? Theyre all mine. Theyre all mine! Zhao Wuji said to himself. All this Bloody Black Gold is mine, my splendid soul sword, my emperor soul sword! The title of worlds number one will be mine now. Cloud Sky City, I will wipe you all out. Northwest Qin Family, I will wipe you all out. Yang Peipei, I will make you my female slave. I will become the Lord of this world! S?a?ch* Th? ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Hahaha.... Dumbass, you have completed your mission. You can die now. Zhao Wuji let out a cold laugh, raised his hands, and prepared to kill Yang Dingtian. But, he realized that Yang Dingtian was already gone. The latter had escaped secretly when he was overwhelmed with joy. A useless enlightener. Where can you escape to? Zhao Wuji turned around and was moved to hunt for Yang Dingtian. He was still very spiteful, choosing not to mine the Bloody Black Gold but to kill Yang Dingtian first. However, a beautiful piece of ten-thousand-year-old Bloody Black Gold caught his eye. It was merely an inch away from him. Didnt you say that you wanted the Bloody Black Gold? I will put this Bloody Black Gold into your stomach and let you choke to death. Zhao Wuji laughed and reached out to grab that piece of Bloody Black Gold, preparing to remove it from the wall. As soon as his hand touched the Bloody Black Gold, an extremely powerful energy instantly emerged from the cave. Roar.... There was a roar from somewhere beneath the magma. A huge beast rose up from the abyss. It was the lord of the abyss with eight heads and sixteen hands, and it was exactly a hundred meters tall when it stood up. Zhao Wuji was stunned. He was completely stunned. Small little dumbass, you cheated me! Zhao Wuji yelled as he madly tried to escape. Bang! The lord of the abysss hundred-meter-long flame whip flew over and struck Zhao Wujis back like a bolt of lightning. Ah.... A horrible scream sounded out, and he coughed up copious amounts of fresh blood. Zhao Wuji flew dozens of meters, his entire body having been sliced into two pieces. Everything below his chest had been cut off by the flame whip. Hong... A dozen meters of the solid crystal cave collapsed, and a huge crystal rock slammed down onto Zhao Wujis body, burying him beneath it. The lord of the abyss sighed, and its gigantic body dove back into the magma, leaving only its two eyes floating on the surface. Yang Dingtian, who was hiding in the distance, was completely stunned. An Honorable Master Elite, one of the strongest in the world, had no means of fighting back against the lord of the abyss and was split in half. This lord of the abyss was really very powerful. Master, this lord of the abyss is actually this powerful? Will I be able to kill it when I become a Xuan Martial Artist Elite? Yang Dingtian asked in disbelief. As long as you have the Xuan Fire of Heaven and Earth, I will have ways to kill it. And even cultivate it to turn it into a soul spirit to feed your soul sword and speed up its progression, Dongfang Niemie replied. At the moment, Zhao Wuji was not dead yet. He looked at Yang Dingtian, filled with hatred and resentment. You trapped me? Yang Dingtian looked at him and said coldly, Thats right, you must die. I will kill you. I will break you into pieces, Zhao Wuji shouted angrily, and his hands shook like those of an angry ghost. But as soon as he moved, he bled profusely. The body below his chest has been sliced apart. As such, he no longer had an energy sea and no longer had any energy left. He wouldnt last another 5 minutes. Yang Dingtian only stared at him coldly. I never thought that this hero would end up dying by your hands. After shaking for a while, he already reached his limit and could no longer even spit up any blood. You wanted to have all this Bloody Black Gold. You had to keep it a secret, which is why you wanted to kill me? Zhao Wuji said. Thats right, these 999 pieces of Bloody Black Gold, I want them all, Yang Dingtian said. Today, if you dont die, then Im the one who will be dead! Destiny, destiny, its all destined! Zhao Wuji moaned. Then, he became quiet, and the only remaining sound was that of Zhao Wujis life slowly bleeding away. Ive killed countless people in this life through violence and cunning. Its not surprising for me to die like this, Zhao Wuji said softly. His voice had become extremely weak. Child, can you tell me your name? Yang Dingtian. The new Cloud Sky City Lord? Dongfang Niemies disciple? It was you! No wonder, no wonder. Zhao Wuji was incredibly shocked. Then, Zhao Wuji said, Yang Dingtian, can you do me a favor? Speak, Yang Dingtian said. Three hundred miles southwest from here is my Horror Mountain Village, Zhao Wuji said. I have only one child. He was struck by someone four years ago and has been poisoned ever since. His cultivation can no longer be recovered. I will no longer be in this world, and he wont be able to take care of himself. Pass him a message for me and tell him to leave the Mountain Village, to go to a normal small mountain village and live the life of an ordinary person. Let others fight for the position of the village head. In four days, there will be a catastrophe that will destroy the entire village. In four days, isnt that just when both moons cover both suns? Although something will happen, there may not be a catastrophe, Yang Dingtian said. Zhao Wuji said, For other families, there may not be a catastrophe, but there is a thousand-year-old owl that is sealed in the deep dungeon of Horror Mountain Village. During the Yin Yang festival, its strength will grow, allowing it to break through the seal. At that time, everything within around a hundred Li radius around Horror Mountain Village will be completely destroyed by it.... Zhao Wuji hadnt finished his words, but Yang Dingtians heart jumped. He trembled and asked, Master, is the owl an electric breast? Is it a rare electric beast...? Chapter 72: The Millennium Owl! Escape from the Mine Chapter 72: The Millennium Owl! Escape from the MineTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Correct, at the intersection of the dark gap and the abyss magma, a Demonic Beast was born upon being bombarded with thousands of lightning bolts. It is an extremely rare electric Demonic Beast, and I have only heard of it but have never seen it before, Dongfang Niemie said. Yang Dingtian was shocked! For the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation, the last thing he needed was a demon nucleus of an electric Demonic Beast. Whether it was Dongfang Niemie or Ximen Ningning, neither had any idea where to find one. Unexpectedly, there was one hidden in the Horror Mountain Village. It is well-known that electric Demonic Beasts are extremely rare. Their birth required extremely stringent requirements, requiring the fulfillment of three criteria. Flame, Dark energy, Lightning! Therefore, each and every electric Demonic Beast was a treasure, causing countless numbers of people to hunt it down. Thus, Yang Dingtian never expected that there was an electric Owl Beast in Zhao Wujis Horror Mountain Village. Zhao Wuji continued, This Millennium Owl was sealed in the abyss magma three hundred years ago during the Yin Yang Festival by ten top elites, who took advantage of the owl that was weakened then. Then, my ancestors built this Horror Mountain Village on this piece of land, hoping to make this owl into a soul weapon. However, no one has ever succeeded in the past 300 years. In four days, both moons will be covering both suns, causing the sky to turn dark and all of the dark creatures to instantly become stronger. The owl is the lord of all dark creatures, and the seal that is chaining it would lose its effectiveness. During the Yin Yang Festival, the power of the owl increases by almost ten times, but it only lasts for a while. Then, it will be very weak for the next six months. However, this short period is sufficient for it to destroy Horror Mountain Village, and even all the forces within a few hundred miles would suffer from its devastating attack. Yang Dingtian, follow a fathers last request. Go to the Horror Mountain Village and pass this message to my son? Have him immediately leave Horror Mountain Village, Zhao Wuji said. I will return the flame feather to you and these two pieces of Bloody Black Gold as well. After that, Zhao Wuji used all his strength to throw the flame feather and Bloody Black Gold over. Then, Zhao Wuji said, Im sorry for destroying your demon nuclei. Please forgive my previous offense and be sure to go to the Horror Mountain Village and make my son leave. Ill try, Yang Dingtian said. Okay, thank you, thank you... Zhao Wuji twitched and took out a jade, saying, Give this jade to my son. He will believe what you say. Yang Dingtian slowly walked over and took the jade from his hand. Suddenly, he stopped and said, Zhao Wuji, what is in your other hand? Is it a poison needle? You already have no more Xuan energy, but you still want to kill me. Zhao Wujis face suddenly changed dramatically and showed extreme embarrassment. He shot the poison needle in his hand towards Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian easily escaped. Ill kill you, Ill kill you.... I want you to be buried with me, buried with me..... I want to die together with you. You come here, you come here..... S~?a??h the N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Zhao Wuji yelled madly, both hands waving like those of a devil, and then, all movements stopped. The sound of a short breath could be heard beneath his throat. His body collapsed to the ground, and he died! ******* Yang Dingtian did not go over immediately but waited for a few minutes until he confirmed that Zhao Wuji was completely dead. He walked over and took the jade from his hand with a bag covering his hand. Yang Dingtian stared at Zhao Wujis corpse, stopped for a moment, and asked, The Owl Demonic Beast that he spoke of. Was it true or false? But now was not the time to think about this. Leaving here quickly was the main concern. Yang Dingtian instantly turned over and left the crystal mine. He passed by the place where he hid the bag containing over forty pieces of Bloody Black Gold, pondered for a moment, and did not bring it with him. This was because without the Xuan Fire of Heaven and Earth, he wont be able to forge a sword treasure. As such, this gold wont be of any use. Son, take this Bloody Black Gold with you, Dongfang Niemie suddenly said. Yang Dingtian wondered why and asked, Isnt this Bloody Black Gold useless if I bring it out now? Dongfang Niemie said, Before forging a soul sword, you need a small amount of Bloody Black Gold to forge a basic sword. Then, you use this basic sword during combat and let your body develop along with the sword. In the future when you possess the Xuan Fire of Heaven and Earth, you can use this basic sword as a seed and add the remaining nine hundred plus pieces of Bloody Black Gold. This is how the perfect sword soul of the supreme soul sword is forged. Yang Dingtian asked, Didnt you say that only the Xuan Fire of Heaven and Earth is capable of forging the Bloody Black Gold? Only the Xuan Fire of Heaven and Earth can completely melt the Bloody Black Gold, remove its impurities, and leave only the most essential parts to be used in forging a splendid soul sword. Dongfang Niemie said: For example, it requires 999 Bloody Black Gold to forge a splendid sword. The materials weigh around twenty thousand Jin. But after it is being melted down by the Xuan Fire of Heaven and Earth, it is left with less than one hundred Jin after the remaining 99.5% is all burned away. Such a sword is extremely powerful, and only such a sword can nurture the ultimate sword soul. Yang Dingtian bit his tongue, looked at the ten-thousand-year-old Bloody Black Gold. It was pure metal and seemed to be free of impurities. He never would have thought that only 5% of its essence will remain after it is processed by the Xuan Fire of Heaven and Earth. Yang Dingtian could not imagine how shocking such a splendid, emperor sword would be after it is forged. You dont need to be so particular about the basic sword. You dont have to use the Xuan Fire of Heaven and Earth. As long as you find a strong fire from the earth, you can melt the Bloody Black Gold and cast it into a basic sword, Dongfang Niemie said. But, the basic sword that is forged out of earth fire is very rough and heavy. The basic sword made out of forty-five Bloody Black Gold forged by an extremely strong earth fire would weigh approximately two hundred Jin. But, if the strongest earth fire cannot be found, it is possible to make a basic sword that weighs seven to eight hundred jin. Master, with the same amount of Bloody Black Gold, is it true that the lighter the sword that is forged, the stronger it is? Yang Dingtian asked. Of course, Dongfang Niemie said. The lighter the sword, the more impurities are being removed, the purer the texture of the sword, the more intense the heat energy contained in it. But in the absence of the Xuan Fire of Heaven and Earth, forty-five Bloody Black Gold pieces would weigh 900 jin, and forging to the limit will only create a basic sword that weighs a hundred Jin. Then, is the basic sword made out of Xuan energy as well? Yang Dingtian asked. Of course. With the power of 45 Bloody Black Gold pieces, the best basic sword would weigh 200 jin, and 10% of its weight would be Xuan energy. In comparison, a superb basic sword weighs 100 jin, of which 20% is Xuan energy, Dongfang Niemie said. But, those are for normal Bloody Black Gold. Your ten-thousand-year-old Bloody Black Gold is many times better. Then, is it about thirty or forty percent? Yang Dingtian was in shock. Yanyans treasure sword was obtained by uncle Ximen from a secret place, and it was already a splendid weapon. But, the Xuan energy attack was merely thirty percent. A rough basic sword made out of ten-thousand-year-old Bloody Black Gold could easily reach thirty or forty percent? Of course, this is ten-thousand-year-old Bloody Black Gold, the worlds treasure, Dongfang Niemie said. Although it is merely a basic sword, it can already be considered powerful out in the world. Yang Dingtian could not help but ask, Master, what about the splendid soul sword made out of Bloody Black Gold? How much would it increase the effectiveness of Xuan energy attacks? What about emperor level? The splendid soul sword can increase the power of Xuan energy attacks up to 99%. As for the emperor level ones, no one knows, Dongfang Niemie said. But when it reaches that level, Xuan energy attack power is no longer important. The qualities of Xuan skills and sword soul would are more essential then. To you, the basic sword is important for you as a seed to forge a splendid sword in the future. The attacking power increase of Xuan energy attacks is not the main concern, Dongfang Niemie said. As long as it doesnt affect its use, it will do. Master, then where can I find earth fire needed to forge the basic sword? Yang Dingtian asked. Are there any nearby? Of course not. You would need an extremely powerful earth fire to melt ten-thousand-year-old Bloody Black Gold, at least eighth or ninth rank, Dongfang Niemie said. It is equivalent to the heat of a large amount of magma condensed into flames the size of a basin. Yang Dingtian was stunned. It sounds like this earth fire is extremely powerful. Then, what is the difference between earth fire and Xuan fire? Dongfang Niemie said, Earth Fire is dead and cannot be refined into a Heart Fire. Xuan Fire is alive. It can be used to refine a Heart Fire and is an extremely important thing for a high-level martial artist, not any less important than Xuan energy. Although eighth or ninth rank Earth Fire is extremely powerful, its energy is not even one percent of Xuan Fire. For example, three thousand square meters of land could be used to concoct a ninth rank Earth Fire, but a few ten thousands square meters of land might not be able to concoct one Xuan Fire of Heaven and Earth. Which is why almost all martial artists refine fire-type Demon Beasts for their own Heart Fire, and extremely few top elites are lucky enough to refine the Xuan Fire of the Earth as their Heart Fire. As for Xuan Fire of Heaven and Earth, it completely depends on fate, Dongfang Niemie explained. Yang Dingtian bit his tongue. It seems like his road to the splendid soul sword is extremely difficult, especially when even forging a basic sword now was already so hard. I have no idea where to find some Xuan Fire of Heaven and Earth that has not been refined, but I have a clue. I know that there is some top quality Earth Fire that you can use to forge a basic sword located on an island that is eight thousand meters west of here. There is a Fire Cloud Devil Cave, within which the Earth Fire can be found. The Earth Fire blooms once every ten years, and each time, it blooms for only two hours. The next time it blooms will be in four months, Dongfang Niemie said. Wait till you become a Five-star Xuan Warrior. Master will bring you to where the Earth Fire is located and forge the best basic sword. Five-star Xuan Warrior in four months time! It all depends on the breakthrough during the Yin Yang Festival. If this time, I successfully break through Six-star Xuan Martial Artist, I have confidence that I will be able to become a Five-star Xuan Warrior in four months time. ....... Due to the need to forge a basic sword, Yang Dingtian had to carry these 45 pieces of Bloody Black Gold out. But, he couldnt take all of them at once it all weighed 900 jin in total. It is impossible to traverse 200 meters of unfreezing water with all of it. Hence, Yang Dingtian took 9 pieces with him each time and made 5 round trips. He spent close to an hour going back and forth. At the moment, the sun was about to set outside, and it could be surmised that Ningning would be panicking right about now. After moving all of the ten-thousand-year-old Bloody Black Gold, Yang Dingtian still had one thing left to do. That was to hunt for the last hidden four-legged cold snake to obtain its demon nucleus. This was because the ice and gold demon nuclei he had before was destroyed by Zhao Wuji. He carried three Bloody Black Gold pieces with him and jumped into the unfreezing pond in order to withstand the cold. However, after diving into the unfreezing pond several times, he still couldnt find the four-legged cold snake, not knowing which corner it had hidden itself in. He even searched through the deepest area and was almost frozen stiff, but he still didnt manage to find the cold snake. Obviously, it had nowhere to run and could only be hiding within some crevice. The unfreezing pond was not small, and each time, Yang Dingtian could only stay ten minutes in the water. He needed to obtain the ice demon nucleus as soon as possible. Therefore, Yang Dingtian thought of a method, which was pretending to be dead! He believed that the cold snake was aware of his existence and might be looking at him right now. After deciding to fake his death, Yang Dingtian struggled a while in the water. Then, his limbs stopped moving and started floating on the water surface as if he were dead. Three minutes passed. Five minutes passed. The cold snake still did not appear. Ten minutes passed. Did the cold snake not notice him? Yang Dingtian, who was floating on the surface of the pond, was extremely nervous. Did the cold snake not notice him, or is the cold snake too cunning? Hell act for another ten minutes, and if the cold snake still doesnt appear, hed think of another way. At this exact moment, there was some movement in the water. The ice-blue-colored snake rushed out from somewhere like an arrow, opened its mouth, and prepared to bite Yang Dingtian. Although it was merely a low-rank demon beast, it was still extremely cunning. At first, it thought that Yang Dingtian was acting, but ten minutes later, it came out to bite Yang Dingtian. Its hatred towards him was pretty strong. When it rushed forward, it opened its mouth extremely wide, baring its sharp teeth. Just as the cold snake was about to bite Yang Dingtian, his body rose, and he flung out the flame feather in his hands with lightning speed and pierced the mouth of the cold snake. The cold snakes head was chopped off, and he dug out the demon nucleus right in the water before jumping out of the pond. Fortunately, there was still one cold snake. Otherwise, I really would have no idea where to get another ice demon nucleus. Yang Dingtian stared at the ice demon nucleus, reveling in the feeling of getting back something that was lost. I have to quickly get out. Ningning must be very worried by now. Yang Dingtian placed the ice demon nucleus in his sleeves, dragged the bag full of Bloody Black Gold behind him, climbed up, and headed out of the mine cave. Chapter 73: Obtaining Four Demon Nuclei Chapter 73: Obtaining Four Demon NucleiTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Although he had passed the period of enlightenment and had also cleaned three layers of his marrow and veins, it was still very difficult to walk dragging a thousand-Jin weight. Fortunately, the ground was all ice so he could drag it behind it. Crakk.... Suddenly, a cracking sound echoed out as the Bloody Black Gold was dragged across the ground. He took a closer look and saw a crack in the thick ice that opened up to another deep cave. Yang Dingtian thought the ice had been broken by the Bloody Black Gold and did not care much. But then, the sound of brittle cracks continued endlessly, and the cracks got bigger and bigger. It was not merely the surface layer of ice that cracked but the solid rock ground beneath it as well. Crakk...crakk.. The ground began to crack even faster. Not good. Yang Dingtian grabbed his bag of Bloody Black Gold and tried to run, but it was already too late. Bang... A loud noise sounded out, and a huge monster rushed out from the split ground, blocking Yang Dingtians path. This monster was four to five meters long. Its limbs were thick. It had a fire red body covered with spiked fur and countless feet. Yang Dingtian knew about this kind of monster. It was called the Fiery Earth Dragon. Of course, it had in common with a real dragon. It had no draconic bloodline. This kind of monster usually likes to live deep in the soil to swallow the residue of metallic minerals. Under normal circumstances, it would not leave the soil, but this bag of Bloody Black Gold was too attractive. Even though it was a dozen meters deep in the ground, it was still drawn to the treasure. Although the name of this monster suggested a fire affinity, it was actually a gold-eating beast. Ohh.... The Fiery Earth Dragon stood up with its four-to-five-meter tall body and opened its mouth towards Yang Dingtian. It had a disgusting and ugly face. It only had a pair of green eyes. The rest of the face was one large mouth. When its mouth was closed, it was only one finger-sized hole, but when it was opened, it was the size of a basketball with countless teeth within. It could be said that its mouth contained nothing but teeth. A drop of red saliva dripped onto the ground, immediately melting the ice into a large pit. Yang Dingtian had goosebumps as this rank two demon beast was much more powerful than to the rank two lizard he fought earlier. It was not merely a rank two supreme demonic beast, but its entire body was also a deadly weapon. No matter which part you touched, it would only cause fatal injuries. He would lose half of his head if it licks him. If he were touched by it, there would be at least tens of thousands of poisonous stingers penetrating into the body. These poisonous stingers would come alive after entering the body and will voraciously consume your blood while penetrating deeper into the body. After a few hours, countless blood-sucking worms would exit the victim. The worst part, though, would be its highly acidic blood. As soon as it splashes even a little onto your body, it will immediately corrode into a huge hole. Even if a sword was stabbed into its body, only the sword handle would be left after the rest of the sword was corroded. Therefore, even strong elites were not willing to confront this thing as it was insanely dangerous. Although Yang Dingtian needed a gold-type demon nucleus, he was not willing to face such an insane demonic beast. Yang Dingtian felt bitter deep down. It really was a close call. Hong... After the Fiery Earth Dragon roared, it immediately rushed over with its huge body. Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh... Yang Dingtian quickly struck out with the flame feather in his hand and backed off. Bang Bang Bang... The Fiery Earth Dragon was instantly cut into four pieces, spurting large amounts of blood. Although Yang Dingtian had retreated quickly, he was still splashed with a few drops of blood, which burned a few holes into his shirt. Fortunately, he had the Deep Sea Xuan Shirt. Otherwise, his heart would have melted and dropped into the soil. The flame feather was truly a treasure. Not only was it not damaged, but there also wasnt even a drop of blood on it. It seemed like everything was over as the Fiery Earth Dragon had been cut into four pieces. This demonic wasnt that scary after all. Also, it was a gold-type demonic beast and had a nucleus that Yang Dingtian needed. However, he did not try to dig it out and instead ran quickly in the direction of the unfreezing pond. This was because the Fiery Earth Dragon that had been dismembered roared. Its four pieces were violently thrashing against the ground and moved individually to chase after Yang Dingtian. Yes, it not only didnt die after being chopped into four pieces, but it instead became four of them and continued hunting him. However, there was only one brain. The other three mindless parts could only follow the main body in the chase. Its speed was extremely fast, even faster than Yang Dingtian because of its many feet. Insane! This was the reason many top elites didnt want to face this thing because it could not be killed. It wouldnt die even after being chopped into dozens of pieces. This was not all. The four pieces would eventually meld back together later on to form a completely new Fiery Earth Dragon. Yang Dingtian escaped as fast as he could towards the unfreezing pond and didnt even bother about the bag of Bloody Black Gold. He had to run away before the Fiery Earth Dragon reformed. Otherwise, it would be too late. True enough, the four pieces of the Fiery Earth Dragon merged as they were running, merging piece by piece and forming the complete Fiery Earth Dragon half a minute later. In an instant, its speed became much faster. Yang Dingtian was merely twenty over meters ahead and was about to be overtaken. He clenched his teeth and ran forward with all he had. When he reached the end of the mine, he jumped forward into a huge cave a dozen meters below and rushed towards the unfreezing pond. The Fiery Earth Dragon descended the mine rapidly. When it was two to three meters away from Yang Dingtian, it opened its mouth. Bo Dom! Yang Dingtian felt a heat at his back and immediately jumped into the unfreezing pond. The Fiery Earth Dragon stopped instantly as it was afraid of entering the pond. It stomped on the ground in anger, slammed the ground so that ice cracked and rocks fell from the ceiling. It furiously stared at Yang Dingtian, who was now in the water. Yang Dingtian took a long breath as he had finally escaped this monster. Staring at the Fiery Earth Dragon on the land, he laughed coldly and said, You will be dead soon. A strike on the pond surface caused a bunch of water to instantly fly towards the Fiery Earth Dragon. The Fiery Earth Dragon tried to avoid it but was still hit by some of the unfreezing water. SiSiSi... A weird sound was heard, and the place where the Fiery Earth Dragon was hit froze and hardened. The Fiery Earth Dragon roared, and its gaze became extremely scary. Then, it dug into the ground with its head, instantly creating a hole. It was escaping through the hole it made. Yang Dingtian began to splash water continuously while the Fiery Earth Dragon dug furiously. After a mere ten seconds, a big hole was dug, and the Fiery Earth Dragon rushed into the hole. However, an inch of its tail that was hit by the unfreezing water hardened, and the Fiery Earth Dragon broke it and escaped into the ground. How could Yang Dingtian let it escape so easily? He took a bag and filled it with dozens of jin of unfreezing water. Then, he took it to the hole that the Fiery Earth Dragon dug and poured it all in. SiSiSi.... Immediately, a scream and the sound of struggling emanated from the hole. Yang Dingtian filled up another bag of water and poured it in. Bang Bang Bang... The Fiery Earth Dragon kept painfully thrashing around, causing the entire ground to crack open. Right as Yang Dingtian was about to return to get more water, the ground cracked open, and the Fiery Earth Dragon rushed out. It opened its mouth as wide as possible as it rushed towards Yang Dingtian. However, the Fiery Earth Dragon that rushed over was only two meters long as it had to abandon the rest of its body, which was frozen. However, the remainder of the Fiery Earth Dragon was still horrifying. It intended to die together with Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian was stunned and didnt try to escape because it was already too late. The speed of this Fiery Earth Dragon was too fast. Whoosh! The flame feather sliced. Instantly, the Fiery Earth Dragons brain was cut, but it rushed forward with its momentum towards the unfreezing pond. Yang Dingtian avoided it as he ducked to the side. Bang Bang...The Fiery Earth Dragon wanted to change direction but couldnt do it with its injured brain. Hence, it watched itself drop into the unfreezing pond. Its other two-meter-long body struggled to avoid it as well but eventually also fell into the unfreezing pond. Then, the Fiery Earth Dragon completely froze stiff at a visible rate and finally died. Yang Dingtian jumped into the unfreezing pond and cut open the monsters brain with the flame feather. The frozen brain was even harder than rock, but luckily, the flame feather was so powerful that he was able to easily dig out the demon nucleus within. He washed the demon nucleus over and over again in the water, and then let out a long sigh. Ximen Ningning never knew that there was this kind of insane demonic beast in this mine based on her information. Otherwise, she would have definitely not allowed Yang Dingtian to come here. However, thanks to this insane demonic beast, he managed to get a gold-type demon nucleus, even though it was a close one. Todays mission could be considered a success. He stowed away this gold-type demon nucleus with the ice-type demon nucleus. As for the fire and wind-type demon nuclei, they were placed in another bag. Now, he has already obtained four demon nuclei, and the last one would be an electric-type demon nucleus. He has already gotten the clue that it one was at Horror Mountain Village. .... After climbing out of the unfreezing pond, Yang Dingtian climbed up to the mine cave, recovered the Bloody Black Gold, and walked forward. Kachak Kachak..... Suddenly, the sound of the ground cracking was heard. Not again! Is there another Fiery Earth Dragon? That shouldnt be the case as such an insane monster usually lives alone. Yang Dingtian was surprised, but he still ran forward while dragging his treasure along. Hong Hong Hong... Instantly, the crack on the ground began to collapse, and huge pieces of rock began to crash down from above. It was not a Fiery Earth Dragon. It was caused by the ground being hollow and starting to splinter apart after being slammed by the deceased monster. Yang Dingtian pulled with all his strength, dragging the Bloody Black Gold as he quickly ran forward. Hong Hong Hong... The mine continued to collapse and didnt stop until after 100 meters. S?a??h th? N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. When he was sure that the mine was no longer collapsing, Yang Dingtian stopped and took a deep breath. Looking at the entrance of the mine cave that was now completely blocked, he was a little happy deep down. Its good that it collapsed! Anyone who comes to this abandoned mine afterward will leave after seeing the blockage. The secret Bloody Black Gold mine wont be found out. Also, Ive killed all of the demonic beasts here, so there wont be any of them that are able to inform masters of beast language about the unfreezing pond. As for the beast language master who had told Zhao Wuji about the unfreezing pond, based on Zhao Wujis character, he wouldve killed that individual right then. It was getting dark on the outside, and Ningning must be worried. Immediately, Yang Dingtian found a place and hid his bag of Bloody Black Gold. After pondering for a moment, he quickly ran out. He ran over a few thousand meters and reached the huge mine entrance. Sister Ningning..., Yang Dingtian shouted loudly. Chapter 74: Kill the Follower, Nine Yang’s Blood! Chapter 74: Kill the Follower, Nine Yangs Blood!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales It was almost dark outside with only the last rays of one of the suns being visible. It was two hours after sunset. But, Ningning wasnt around! Yang Dingtian was currently feeling the chills all over his body. Has she left? Its impossible. She would absolutely not leave me. Most importantly, based on Ningnings character, she wouldve definitely entered the cave to find me if I hadnt come out by sunset. Ningning, Ningning! Yang Dingtian shouted out loud, but he could only hear echoes and got no response. Could it be that she got into trouble? Could it be that she was captured by someone? Yang Dingtian immediately became extremely nervous and hated himself for not coming out right after he killed Zhao Wuji. He cursed his greed for the Bloody Black Gold. Sister Ningning, Sister Ningning...Yang Dingtian shouted loudly and searched for her furiously. After searching every corner of the field, Yang Dingtians voice became rough. I should have come out long ago. I should have come out long ago. Yang Dingtian blamed himself. Sister Ningning..., Yang Dingtian shouted in despair. Little Tian, leave quickly, run away now.... Suddenly, a weak voice was heard from the forest nearby. It was Ximen Ningnings voice. Sister Ningning... Yang Dingtian ran over happily and asked worriedly, Are you hurt? Dont come over, leave quickly, run away now .... Ningnings voice was still very weak and extremely nervous. Yang Dingtian immediately rushed over. In the forest, he saw Ximen Ningning with blood on her body, looking drained. Her lips were pure white without a trace of blood, and she was sitting on the ground and trembling. Around her were four people: three men and one woman. They had weapons and seemed to be about to kill her, but they were motionless as if theyd been frozen. Yang Dingtian was surprised to find that it was Ximen Ningning was the one who had made them motionless. It was as if she had used some secret method to control these four people. Yang Dingtian knew that Ningnings Xuan energy had zero attacking power but never thought that she could use such a mysterious method. Leave quickly. I cant hold them any longer, and they will kill you..., Ximen Ningning whispered. She spat out a mouthful of blood, and her face became extremely scary. Just as Ximen Ningning spat out blood, the spell over the woman seemed to break. She rushed towards Ningning with a sharp sword in her hand, shouting, Go to hell, bitch! Yang Dingtian saw it happen, and his eyes turned furious. He gathered all of his energy and fiercely rushed over. I will kill you... Yang Dingtian held the flame feather and struck at the women in black in midair. Youre looking to die! That women in black let Ningning off the hook for the time being, turned around, and rushed Yang Dingtian. Dont...., Ximen Ningning yelled. Go to hell... Yang Dingtian attacked with his sword, stabbing towards the womans face and allowing her to stab at his own chest. The woman flashed and was about to escape from Yang Dingtians flame feather. Freeze..., Ningning shouted, and the woman in black instantly froze in her current position. Ah... Yang Dingtians flame feather pierced straight through her head, instantly killing her. She dropped dead with disbelieving eyes. Bang... At the same time, her sharp sword stabbed into Yang Dingtians chest. It felt like hed been hit by a thousand-jin hammer. An extreme pain caused him to almost blackout and cough up a mouthful of blood. When Ningning froze that woman in black, the other three men regained their mobility. Two of them ran towards her while the other aimed a strike at Yang Dingtians head. Freeze...., Ningning yelled, and the man who was attacking Yang Dingtian froze. Kill... Yang Dingtian attacked with his flame feather, beheading the person that was attacking him. At the same time, the other two men had rushed Ningning. One wore a yellow robe while the other had a scary scar on his face. Ah...! The man in yellow robes struck Ningnings back, sending her flying dozens of meters away. She spat out mouthfuls of blood and slammed onto a tree trunk. Meanwhile, the other man with a scar condensed an ice-cold poisonous blade with his hand and shot it at Ningnings lower abdomen. Yang Dingtian was furious and viciously rushed over towards the man who used the hidden weapon to attack Ningning. Youre seeking death.... That man with a scar sneered, raised his sword lightly, inserted his Xuan energy, and sliced towards Yang Dingtians chest. The third move of Pig Killing Swordsmanship: chop off the head. Yang Dingtians flame feather slammed down, not at the opponents head but at his sword. The man with the scar laughed. As his sword was filled with Xuan energy, it would be impossible for someone without Xuan energy to break it. Bang.... However, he was shocked by the result. His sword that was filled with Xuan energy was broken by Yang Dingtians flame feather. He was shocked and furious and was about to kick Yang Dingtians leg. The sixth move of Pig Killing Swordsmanship: chop off the limbs. Yang Dingtian swung his flame feather and chopped off the mans right leg. The man with the scar was stunned and made to retreat. He shot the ice-cold poison blade in his other hand towards Yang Dingtian. Freeze.... Ningning has just regained consciousness and shouted, ignoring the other person who was running at her and froze the man with the scar. Instantly, her target froze. Yang Dingtian swung his flame feather and chopped off the mans left leg. He followed up with the seventh move of Pig Killing Swordsmanship: break into two pieces. The flame feather sliced upwards, and the man with a scar was cut into two pieces. He spurted large amounts of blood and died instantly. At the same time, his ice-cold poisonous blade struck Yang Dingtians thigh, who immediately felt a slight numbness. Immediately afterwards, half of his body was paralyzed. Out of the four enemies, Yang Dingtian had killed three, which left only the man in the yellow robes. Just as Yang Dingtian killed the man with the scar, the cunning man in the yellow robes flashed behind Ningning to strike her from behind. Ahh...Ningning was caught off-guard and screamed. Her delicate body flew towards Yang Dingtian. She coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood onto Yang Dingtians face. Yang Dingtian immediately hugged Ningning and shot the flame feather towards their last enemy. The man in the yellow robes was the leader of the group of four and was also the strongest one. He caught Yang Dingtians flame feather with eyes bright. Xuan Tian Magic Phoenixs flame feather, truly a treasure. Coincidentally, my weapon was destroyed earlier. Thanks! Yang Dingtian held Ningnings delicate body and rolled together with her along the ground. At the moment, Ningning was unconscious. Her face was like gold paper. Her eyes were like gold coins. Yang Dingtian used his final strength to reach out for the Full Restoration Pill and stuffed it into her mouth. The man in yellow robes slowly walked over with the flame feather in his hands, looking at Ningnings delicate and attractive body, revealing a lascivious face. Such an enchanting body. Let me enjoy it before killing her. Yang Dingtians entire body was already poisoned, and his whole body was numb. He was not able to move. The man in yellow robes was holding the flame feather. He advanced, step by step, and finally stood before Yang Dingtian. He was about to slam the flame feather onto Yang Dingtians head. Wait...., Yang Dingtian said. I have a sixth-rank Mysterious Beast Pill with me. The man in yellow robe was stunned and said, Thanks for telling me, but I can still get it after I kill you. Then, his flame feather continued downwards. Wait..., Yang Dingtian said. I still have forty-five ten-thousand-year-old Bloody Black Gold buried somewhere. I can give it to you! The eyes of the man in yellow robes turned bright, revealing his greed. He stared at Ximen Ningning and immediately grabbed onto her clothes and said, Okay then, tell me where it is or I will tear off her clothes and rape her in front of you. He would die if he told him! But, if he doesnt talk... Yang Dingtian couldnt bear to let those dirty hands sully Ximen Ningning. S?a??h the n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. It is inside the abandoned mine cave, Yang Dingtian said. But, these 45 are merely a small part of it, there are more inside, but only I know the way. Is it? The man in yellow robe said. Then, thank you very much. I wont kill this woman for now, but Ill strip her first to vent my anger! Immediately, the man in yellow robes went for Ningnings firm chest. Yang Dingtians eyes filled with anger, and hot blood rushed into his head. Instantly, the paralyzing cold poison in his body disappeared. Ahh... Yang Dingtian shouted as he jumped over to the man. Because his opponent wasnt prepared, Yang Dingtian managed to jump him. Then, Yang Dingtian clenched his fist and punched at the mans temple. Youre looking to die! The man in yellow robe was furious and was about to strike Yang Dingtians head. Freeze.... It was as if an energy had woken Ningning. She used the last of her Xuan energy to activate the Art of Freezing. Instantly, the man in yellow robes froze and could no longer move. Bang! Yang Dingtian punched him hard on the head and snatched back the flame feather. Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh.... Yang Dingtian severed the veins in his opponents limbs and sliced into his Sea of Energy at the abdomen. Ahh.... The man in yellow robes yelled in terror, and his entire body shook. All of his Xuan energy completely drained out of his Sea of Energy. Instantly, at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, the man in yellow robes aged rapidly. All the muscles in his body quickly withered. Oh... At this moment, Ningning, having used up all of her energy, made a sound and fainted again. Tell me, who sent you here to kill us? Yang Dingtian asked severely. Go and die... The man in yellow robes stood up, opened his mouth, and tried to bite Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian grabbed a dagger from the ground and slammed it into one of the mans eyes. Ah... The man in the yellow robes screamed tragically. Tell me, who sent you here to kill us? Yang Dingtian asked again. Go and die..., the man in yellow robes shouted. Yang Dingtian used the dagger and cut into his private parts. Ahh..., he yelled in horror. Tell us, who sent you here to kill us? Yang Dingtian asked coldly. Tell me and I will end your suffering. Young Master Qin, Young Master Qin, the man in yellow robes said while trembling. Qin Shaobai? I will definitely tear you into pieces! Yang Dingtian shouted out this name coldly. Then, he aimed at the throat of the man in yellow robes and cut it. Blood spurt horribly, and after the man in yellow robes snorted a few times, he died. After killing the man, Yang Dingtian hurriedly picked up Ximen Ningning and checked her breath. It was very weak, and she was completely unconscious. Master, help me, how can I save Sister Ningning? Yang Dingtian quickly awakened Dongfang Niemie. Dongfang Niemie said, Son, dont worry. The ice-cold poison that is affecting her may cause others to be helpless, but not you. You have Nine Yang Xuen Veins, so your blood could cure almost any cold poison in the world. Just a few drops of your blood will do. After hearing that, Yang Dingtian immediately cut his wrist. Blood immediately began to flow out nonstop, and he pressed the wound to Ximen Ningnings small mouth. Boiling hot blood flow into Ningnings mouth, into her stomach, and then spread to all the veins in her body. Chapter 75: Heading to Horror Mountain Village Chapter 75: Heading to Horror Mountain VillageTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales After three minutes, Ningnings body gradually recovered its temperature, and she opened her eyes after waking up. She was stunned for a moment and pushed away Yang Dingtians hand. In shock, she asked, Little Tian, what are you doing? How can you give me your blood? Thank God, I finally managed to save you. Yang Dingtian gave Ningning a tight hug out of excitement. After being hugged for some time, Ningning slowly broke free and took out medicine from her sleeves. She applied it to Yang Dingtians wrist gently. The wound on Yang Dingtians wrist instantly knit closed, and the blood stopped flowing. Then, Ningning took out the fifth-rank Full Restoration Pill from Yang Dingtians sleeves and fed it to him. Yang Dingtian felt a flush of heat, and the internal injuries caused by the enemies gradually disappeared. Is it still painful? Is there anywhere else that is uncomfortable? Although Ningning was still very weak, she looked at Yang Dingtian worriedly and asked. Yang Dingtian shook his head. I was scared to death just now. What happened? When did they come? S?a?ch* Th? N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Ningning said, About two hours after you entered the abandoned ore mine, they came. You know that I can cultivate my Xuan energy extremely fast, almost faster than anyone, but my Xuan energy has no attack power. But, Ive learned a type of mental Xuan technique that can freeze my opponents so that they cant move. Yang Dingtian was shocked. This type of Xuan technique was extremely powerful. Before Yang Dingtian arrived, Ximen Ningning was fighting against four people and managed to freeze them for a few hours. I had frozen them for around six hours. When you arrived, I had already almost used up all of my Xuan energy, Ningning said. If you had arrived a little later, I would have died by their hands. But I asked you to escape. Why didnt you escape? Each and every one of them is many times stronger than you. You were in danger. How can I possibly run away? I will never run even if I die, Yang Dingtian said. How are you feeling now? The cold poison has been neutralized. Only some internal injuries remain. Ill be better after taking the Full Restoration Pill, Ningning said: Your blood is really powerful. It immediately seized control and neutralized the poison in my body. However, if I had not used up all of my Xuan energy, this cold poison wouldnt have been harmful to me. Yang Dingtian asked, Sister Ningning, do you think that Qin Shaobai had discovered our true identities and sent people to hunt us down? No, Ningning said. If he had discovered our identities, he wouldnt have sent only four people like these but much stronger killers. He simply sent a few people to kill us because Qin Hongmian was his prey and was dumped by him after he got bored. He doesnt allow the women that he dumped to be with others. As we were together today, he thought that Qin Hongmian had a new lover. He sent people to kill us just to satisfy his possessive sickness. Such a person is really crazy and mad, Yang Dingtian said. His arrival at Cloud Sky City would definitely lead to a huge disaster. Ningning said, Which is why, Little Tian, you must become stronger and not let Cloud Sky City fall into the hands of such a bastard. Okay, lets not discuss this disgusting person. Little Tian, what happened to you in the mine cave? Why did you come out so late, causing me to worry? The four of them were surrounding me. At that time, I wanted you to come out but also didnt want you to come. A lot of things happened in the mine cave.... Yang Dingtian immediately told her everything that happened, including the Bloody Black Gold mine, the lord of the abyss, Zhao Wujis death, and the Fiery Earth Dragon that he encountered towards the end. There really is ten-thousand-year-old Bloody Black Gold? That is the supreme treasure of heaven and earth, Ningning said in shock. Then, she looked at Yang Dingtian and asked, But, why did you tell me this secret? You should know that ten-thousand-year-old Bloody Black Gold is something that the world will go crazy for. No matter which Sect, they will want to possess it. You shouldnt have told me. Yang Dingtian looked at her. If I couldnt even trust the closest person to me, then even if its the supreme treasure of heaven and earth, what would it mean? Ningning blushed, and her expression instantly turned gentle and soft. Then, the two of them remained silent in the mysterious atmosphere. A few minutes later, Yang Dingtian broke the silence. Sister Ningning, do you think what Zhao Wuji said was true? Could there really be an owl sealed in the dungeon beneath Horror Mountain Village? I dont know. Ningning shook her head and said, No one has ever heard about a Millennium Owl in Horror Mountain Village. But, those who managed to capture this Millennium Owl would not utter a word about it as people would fight for it. The Millennium Owl that was sealed can be used to forge a superior demonic beast soul weapon. Ximen Ningning continued, But, I did hear that three hundred years ago, many masters of the Zhao family passed away. Also, their castle used to be located on the far south, at an extremely comfortable and exclusive area. Three hundred years ago, they moved to Black Fire Mountain and built the Horror Mountain Village there. The environment there was horrible, and many couldnt understand the reason behind such actions. But, if it was to seal a Millennium Owl, then it makes sense. Listening to Ningning, Yang Dingtian felt that there really might be a Millennium Owl in Horror Mountain Village after all. Sister Ningning, how much do you know about Horror Mountain Village? Yang Dingtian asked. Ningning thought for a while and said, Over twenty years ago, Horror Mountain Village had very powerful forces with over three hundred Li of territory. They had thousands of warriors and had even fought Cloud Sky City before. The village head, Zhao Zhenyang was only one step away from becoming a Guru, and his eldest son, Zhao Wujin, was an even more talented martial artist and had the possibility of becoming a Master before the age of 45. The Northwest Qin family was afraid that Horror Mountain Village would threaten the position of the Qin family under the reign of Zhao Wujin. Therefore, they supported the ambitious Zhao Wuji. They killed both Zhao Zhenyang and Zhao Wujin and let Zhao Wuji become the village head of Horror Mountain Village. After Zhao Wuji became the village head, his brother, cousins, and even uncles were dissatisfied. Zhao Wuji used the help of the Northwest Qin family to kill all who opposed him. That was how Zhao Wuji managed to maintain his position, but because of this, their forces were weakened. Their faction deteriorated from a top power to a small one and became a vassal of the Northwest Qin Family. Yang Dingtian asked, What about Zhao Wujis son? Ximen Ningning said, He is called Zhao Mu and was extremely talented in martial arts, even surpassing his father, but he had a fatal attraction towards women. Four years ago, he met an extremely beautiful woman when he was traveling and had tried to tease her. Eventually, he was injured by a strike from that woman, causing his Yang energy to dissipate and all of his cultivation to be ruined. He became a useless person. Do you know who that woman is? Seeing Ningnings slightly narrow-minded gaze, Yang Dingtians heart moved, but he shook his head and said no. It is your fiance, Dongfang Bingling. Ximen Ningning laughed. Dongfang Bingling? Yang Dingtian was surprised, not expecting that this was also related to his fiance. Ningning smiled. Your fiance was really an overbearing person. After turning the young master of Horror Mountain Village into a useless person, the Qin familys head even had to bring Zhao Wuji to Vast Immeasurable Mountain and apologize to her. Zhao Wuji had to kneel down in front of the Yin Yang Sects gate for three days and three nights. Yang Dingtian sighed once again. Although he had felt the supremacy of the Yin Yang Sect, he had not personally gone experienced it before. But after coming to the Western Continent, he truly felt the domineering power of the Northwest Qin family. Even so, such a powerful group had to be so respectful towards the Yin Yang Sect. This showed the Yin Yang Sects incredibly high status. Four years ago, Dongfang Bingling was only sixteen years old but was already capable of turning Zhao Mu into a useless person with just one strike. Then, at what stage was Zhao Mus cultivation at the time? Yang Dingtian asked. Ximen Ningning answered, Similar to Ximen Yans. Yang Dingtian let out a cold breath. Dongfang Bingling was already so strong four years ago. Then, how powerful will she be in five years? Now you know how strong your fianc is? Ximen Ningning laughed. She was recognized as the most talented person in four hundred years and was the one with the highest chance of becoming a martial saint. However, to worry about Dongfang Bingling now was too early, and the most important matter now was getting the electric demon nucleus. Even if there was a Millennium Owl in Horror Mountain Village, the beast was too powerful. In addition, even if Horror Mountain Village was considered a third-rate force, it was still like a tigers den for Yang Dingtian. Sister Ningning, apart from Horror Mountain Village, is there anywhere else that would have an electric-type beast? Yang Dingtian asked. Ximen Ningning shook her head. Electric-type beasts are too rare, and I am familiar with all beasts within thousands of Li, but I have no idea if there is any electric-type beast. The area with the highest probability of having an electric-type beast would be the deep sea over ten thousand Li away. However, that place can only be explored by top elites, and it is many times more dangerous than Horror Mountain Village. If thats the case, we must risk going to Horror Mountain Village if we want to get the electric demon nucleus? Yang Dingtian asked. Ningning frown. Little Tian, must you obtain the electric demon nucleus? I must get it, and within four days. Otherwise, I will be banished from Cloud Sky City in five days, Yang Dingtian said. Ningning said, But even if what Zhao Wuji said was the truth, it will be difficult for us to obtain its demon nucleus. Not to mention that Horror Mountain Village by itself is already a scary place. How could they possibly hand over the Millennium Owl to us? Even if they did pass it to us, it is still a Millennium Owl. Even Master-level elites wont be able to kill it. Surely, it looked like an impossible mission. Of course, I am only sharing my thoughts. The final decision still lies with you, Ningning said gently. No matter what decision you make, sister will always support you. No matter how dangerous it is, sister will accompany you. Yang Dingtian was moved by her warmth. Sister Ningning, what is Horror Mountain Villages attitude towards the Qin family? Respect and fear, Ximen Ningning said. The Horror Mountain Village of today is nothing more than a vassal working for the Northwest Qin family. Although Qin Hongmian was merely a distant relative of the family, Horror Mountain Village still wont dare to offend him. Yang Dingtian closed his eyes and thought for a long time. Then, he finally opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, Lets go to Horror Mountain Village. Even if it is a tigers den, I must go! Chapter 76: The Young Master of Horror Mountain Village Chapter 76: The Young Master of Horror Mountain VillageTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales To obtain the electric demon nucleus, to be able to break through, for the elimination fight in five days, Yang Dingtian had no choice but to go! That thousand-year-old Millenium Owl in Horror Mountain Village was his only chance, even though this beast was so strong that it defied description. Ningning gently smiled. Okay, I will accompany you. But, we need to wait for a few hours for my Xuan energy to recover. Yang Dingtian asked out of curiosity, Sister Ningning, what is the rank of your current Xuan energy? Stronger than Ximen Yan but still incomparable to your two talented fiancees, Ningning said. Also, if I were to fight, I wouldnt be able to beat even a Novice Martial Artist. The two wife fiances she spoke of was, of course, Ximen Yanyan and Dongfang Bingling. Yang Dingtian immediately let out a painful laugh. .... In the next few hours, Ningning closed her eyes and regulated her breathing. Yang Dingtian did the same, and he took another Full Restoration Pill so that his injuries would completely heal. During this time, not a single person appeared in the mine valley. No demonic beasts came around either. When it was almost sunrise, Ningning finally finished her meditations. Her injuries were almost fully healed, and her Xuan energy was partially recovered. She was extremely particular about cleanliness, so the first thing she did after finishing was to take a bath. Therefore, she searched for a bathhouse or a spring to wash off. Fortunately, she found a hot spring on top of the mountain. She screamed happily as she undressed, exposing her delicate body. Yang Dingtian was a little shocked and then turned around. There was a Boom sound when Ningning jumped in. After the two of them finished their baths, they washed their clothes and dried them with fire before putting them back on. Yang Dingtian donned his mask again with long, snow-white robes, once again becoming the handsome Ning Que. Meanwhile, Ximen Ningning also disguised herself as Qin Hongmian again. At the moment, the sky was a little bright as it was dawn. The two of them descended the mountain and headed towards Horror Mountain Village. ... Sister Ningning, I still have 45 pieces of Bloody Black Gold buried in the ore mine. Will it be safe? Yang Ding Tan suddenly asked before getting on a horse. Ningning frowned. It is not safe because Bloody Black Gold is too attractive for gold-eating beasts. As time passes, even gold-eating beasts far away from here would probably be drawn here. But, it is even more impossible to bring it to Horror Mountain Village. Besides the fact that it weighs thousands of kilograms, it is also the supreme treasure of heaven and earth and will stoke the greed in many people, Yang Dingtian said. We cant lug it back to Cloud Sky City first and only head to Horror Mountain Village later since we dont have the time. Ningning showed a bit of struggle and confusion. Then, she looked at Yang Dingtian and said gently, Little Tian, there is a secret that I cannot tell you, so Ill give you something. Dont be shocked, okay? Then, she gently pressed her index finger and inserted a little Xuan energy. An antique ring instantly appeared on her long and fair finger. She gently passed the ring to Yang Dingtian and said, Put the Bloody Black Gold into this ring. Yang Dingtian was stunned. He took the ring and instantly felt a thick and mysterious energy. How could thousands of kilograms of Bloody Black Gold fit into this tiny ring? This world didnt have dimensional rings. Whether it was Dongfang Niemie or the numerous books available, such things were simply not known to exist. This is a space storage ring that can hold approximately 27 cubic feet. It can hold your Bloody Black Gold, Ningning said gently. It really was space storage ring. Yang Dingtian asked in surprise, Sister Ningning, I thought space storage rings didnt exist in this world? Ningning immediately put the ring on his finger. I have some secrets, and when the time comes, I will definitely tell you. But, I cant tell you now, so just take without asking. Yang Dingtian said, But this thing is so precious. How can you give it to me? You should keep this Bloody Black Gold with you. Its me lending it to you, and you can return it to me in the future, Ningning said gently. S?a??h th? n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian touched the ring and couldnt help but ask, Does uncle Ximen and Yanyan know about this ring? Ningning shook her head. Yang Dingtian was shocked. This meant that Ningnings identity was really a huge secret. Also, she was definitely not an orphan adopted by Ximen Wuya. There was definitely a special reason for her to come to Cloud Sky City. Sister Ningning, I dont care about who you care. I know that you will not hurt me, and you are the closest person to me, Yang Dingtian said. Good boy! Ningning said as she gently touched Yang Dingtians cheek. Then, Yang Dingtian brought her to the mine cave and dug out the bag of Bloody Black Gold, He watched in shock as Ningning placed the pieces of Bloody Black Gold one by one into the ring with each piece disappearing as she did. Hed never expected there to be space storage rings in this world. It was all too unreasonable. Actually, this Bloody Black Gold is not being placed in the ring but in a unique space, Ningning explained. This ring is only a channel to that unique space. If so, then this ring is a tiny dimensional door. Yang Dingtian commented in surprise. He was immediately interested in the secret behind this ring. Sister Ningning, is there another space storage ring in the world? Yang Dingtian asked. Ningning shook her head and said, I dont know but most probably not. After storing all of the treasure, Ningning lightly moved her finger, and the ring disappeared from Yang Dingtians finger. If you want to summon the ring, just touch that area and insert some Xuan energy. Then, use your heart to feel for it and it will be enough, Ningning instructed. Yang Dingtian tried and really managed to summon the space storage ring. He looked at Ningning and said, Wait till we arrive back at Cloud Sky City and I will return it to you. Whats the hurry? Ningning said. You can wear it until you dont need it anymore. Although I dont have the right to give it to you, I can lend it to you indefinitely. Then, she looked at him and said gently, Similarly, I cannot marry you, but I can give myself to you indefinitely. Yang Dingtian was moved, and he wanted to say something but couldnt utter a single word. There were two women in the world that had deep entanglements with him. One was Dongfang Bingling, and the other was Ximen Yanyan. The two of them were unique beauties and also the only ones of their kind in the world. Dongfang Bingling was masters daughter, and Ximen Yanyan was Ximen Wuyas daughter. Though as a man, his heart was moved, he did not choose to get involved with these two beauties. While the Ximen Ningning that was standing before him wasnt as pretty as Yanyan or Dongfang Bingling, her gentleness, her innocence, her tolerance and wisdom, her selflessness had all deeply touched Yang Dingtians heart. So, it could be said that Ximen Ningning was Yang Dingtians choice. Only, Yang Dingtian was not yet qualified to say it, which was why he didnt. Yang Dingtian and Ximen Ningning rode their horses under the identities of Ning Que and Qin Hongmian, headed for Horror Mountain Village in the south. They began their journey in the morning and rode for the whole day. When the sky was about to turn dark, they arrived at Horror Mountain Village. Horror Mountain Village was built in the deepest part of Black Valley, and the entire mountain village was guarded by an arc-shaped magma abyss. The abyss was several thousand meters wide, and there was only a three-meter-wide stone road that led to the village. At this time, Yang Dingtian and Ningning were at the entrance to this three-meter-wide stone road that overlooked the entire Horror Mountain Village. It was shrouded in a layer of black haze and appeared to be smoky. Who is there? Two warriors hidden within black cloaks shouted coldly, and the black bows in their hands were aimed at Yang Dingtian. The daughter of Red Stone Fortress from the Northwest Qin family, Qin Hongmian, Ningning said arrogantly. The two warriors hurriedly put away their bows and bowed. Miss Qin, please wait a moment, and I will inform those in the village. Then, a squawk sounded out from a warriors mouth, and a crow flew over from the distance and landed in the warriors hand. The warrior said a few words to the crow, which then fluttered and flew towards the horror villa. ... Ten minutes later, a team of black warriors led by a man in red robes left the village and headed towards Yang Dingtian, accompanied by a luxurious horse carriage. Zhao Mu from Horror Mountain Village welcomes Miss Qin. The man in red robes walked along the road. Your arrival is an honor for us. Please get on the carriage. He was Zhao Mu, the young master of Horror Mountain Village. He looked very handsome. His eyebrows were light and sloppy. Ningning nodded to Zhao Mu and proudly set foot on the expensive carriage. Into the village, Zhao Mu ordered, immediately bringing Yang Dingtian and Ningning into Horror Mountain Village. ... At night, Zhao Mu hosted a feast for them and accompanied them personally. Horror Mountain Village was truly a vassal of the Northwest Qin Family. Although Qin Hongmian was such a distant relative of the Qin family, Zhao Mu still treated them so well. He was a pervert who, apart from peeking at Ningnings delicate body, spent most of the time sitting there. However, the weirdest part was that this whole time, Yang Dingtian and Ningning didnt catch a glimpse of any other important people from Horror Mountain Village. It was only Zhao Mu that accompanied them from the beginning, as if he didnt want Yang Dingtian and Ningning to bump into anyone else in the mountain village. Or, he didnt want anyone else to know about their presence. But, Zhao Mu was truly polite to the two of them. During the entire feast, he had been constantly flattering them. He said everything from how great the Qin familys lord was to how beautiful Qin Hongmian was and finally to how great Ning Que was. Although the two of them answered calmly, he still persisted with such behavior. Finally, at the end of the feast, Zhao Mu asked, Mister Ning and Miss Qin, may I know what I can help you with for the two of you to have come so far? As long as I am able to do it, I will definitely help. Chapter 77: Where is the Millennium Owl? Chapter 77: Where is the Millennium Owl?Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Nothing much, I am bringing Ning Lang home to meet my father and uncle. And, as we were traveling around, we just happened to come across your place. We heard that the buildings in Horror Mountain Village were very unique and came to take a look, Ningning said. This was their plan: demand a short tour through Horror Mountain Village using Qin Hongmians identity and use Ningnings Beastmaster talents to confirm if there was a Millennium Owl or not. If there was, shed find out where it was sealed. Supposedly, the Millennium Owl should be sealed deep in the dungeon just like Yao Rao in Cloud Sky City. Hence, they needed to find a way to get Ningning into the dungeon the next day while avoiding Zhao Mus suspicions. No problem, I will personally bring the two of you around our Mountain Village tomorrow, Zhao Mu said. Its just that my Mountain Village is pretty simple and cant be compared to Qin City. I hope that the two of you wont be disappointed. I just want to take a look, Ningning said. Okay, weve traveled for an entire day, and Im a little tired. Please prepare a room for us to rest. Okay! Zhao Mu immediately got up. Ill immediately get people to prepare the best room for you. However, our village is really simple, so if there is any delay, please forgive us! Then, Zhao Mu said, Wanru, bring Ms. Qin and Mr. Ning to the best guest room. Yes! The gentle voice of a woman was heard, and a beautiful young woman walked in. She was Zhao Mus wife. Our two esteemed guests, please come with me, the young woman asked the two of them. Zhao Mu said, Please have a good rest. I will come around to greet you tomorrow morning. Thanks for taking the trouble, Yang Dingtian said. Then, he and Ningning followed the young woman to the Phoenix Guest House to rest. S?a??h th? N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. They passed by a garden, through a corridor, and down a deep narrow road. Sister Hongmian, how come you dont recognize this sister anymore? the young woman in front suddenly said with a strange tone. Yang Dingtian was shocked. Could it be that Zhao Mus wife knew Qin Hongmian? If so, it would be a disaster. Its you who dont recognize me, Ningning said. Could it be that you are still blaming me for snatching the third son? After having his way with me, that unfaithful person abandoned me after half a month as he got a new woman. Then, he even sent me to Horror Mountain Village to marry that useless Zhao Mu. Dont mention Qin Shaobai in front of me, Qin Hongmian said coldly. The young woman smiled and asked, What happened? You were so into that unfaithful man at that time. Yang Dingtian had been cautious throughout their walk and felt lucky that the young woman stopped talking after that. Phoenix Guest House was a small isolated courtyard with lots of flowers in it. It was truly the best place in the entire Horror Mountain Village. This was once Zhao Wujis daughter, Zhao Xiu Ers room. It is also the best accommodation in Horror Mountain Village. I tried to stay here a few times, but I wasnt allowed to. Its just that I heard that there is a ghost in this building. Sister Hongmian, be careful that the female ghost doesnt seduce your pretty boyfriend, the young woman said. Okay, you can leave now, Ningning said impatiently. You already cant hold yourself back anymore? The young woman laughed. When she passed by Yang Dingtian, she looked him up and down. Sister, you have such a good eye. Where did you find such a beautiful boyfriend who makes a womans heart itchy? Qin Wanru, control yourself, Ningning said. Hehe... The young woman smiled and walked out. Dont worry. I wont snatch your man again. As she reached the door, the young married woman turned around. Sister Hongmian, how is it that your teeth have become so nice? Every one of them is like a pearl. They werent that nice last time. After she said that, the young woman left. What did she mean? Yang Dingtian asked. As he was worried that someone might eavesdrop from outside, he did not make his statement clear. It seems like Zhao Mus wife knew Qin Hongmian, but he wasnt sure about their relationship. If they were close, she might have been able to spot inconsistencies. I dont know, Ningning said. But even if she suspects, there is no way for her to confirm. Looking at how Yang Dingtian stared outside worriedly, Ningning said, Dont worry. No one is eavesdropping outside now. Ningnings senses were very sharp. When they were at Cloud Sky City, she immediately knew whenever someone entered her valley. Do you know who this Qin Wanru is? Yang Dingtian asked. I know this person, but Ive only heard of her and have never met her before, Ningning said. She is a close relative of the Northwest Qin family. Compared to Qin Hongmian, her blood relation is closer, but I didnt know that she was married to Zhao Mu. Yang Dingtian said, Then, were Qin Wanru and Qin Hongmian close? I dont know, Ningning said. The two of them definitely know each other, but they might not be close. Qin Wanrus parents hold moderately important positions in Qin City while Qin Hongmian was from Red Rock Fortress, which was thousands of meters away. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath. Since this is so, we shall accept it. No matter what happens tomorrow, we go according to plan and confirm if a Millennium Owl is here. Ningning said, We can stay put for the time being. When it is necessary, we can just act accordingly to changes in circumstances. Tonight, just take a bath and get your beauty sleep. .... After she finished bathing, Ningning crawled into the bed and said, Lets sleep. We still need to pit our wits and courage against that sly fox, Zhao Mu. Ill sleep on the floor, Yang Dingtian said. Qin Hongmian is not a chaste woman. Is it possible for her to not sleep with her boyfriend in the same bed? Ningning asked. Yang Dingtian instantly climbed into bed. All he could see was Ningning sleeping in her inner wear. The entire bed was filled with her fragrance. Sister Ningning, lets put on our clothes, Yang Dingtian said: Then, if there is anything that happens at night, we will be able to take action immediately. Earlier, Qin Wanru said that this place is haunted, and there is not even a single maid here. It is too abnormal. This would make us look guilty and cause suspicion, Ningning said. Seeing how alert Yang Dingtian was as he wasnt sleeping even with his eyes closed, she said gently, Little Tian, you can sleep peacefully. If something happens, I will know. Yang Dingtian absolutely believed that, but he couldnt fall asleep no matter how hard he tried. Your heart is uneasy, so you cant sleep? Ningning asked in the dark. Yeah, Yang Dingtian said. Ningning sat up and hugged Yang Dingtians head in her arms, letting his head rest on her soft and firm chest, lightly massaging his head. While massaging, she sang an enchanting song softly. It was as if her pair of hands had magical powers. Yang Dingtian soon fell into a deep sleep in which he didnt even dream. ... I died so pitifully..... I died so pitifully..... Yang Dingtian was immersed in the sweetest sleep hed had in the past two years but was suddenly awakened by a horrible cry and screaming voice. He opened his eyes. Instantly, he saw the face of a pale woman with green eyes floating in front of him. Blood was flowing out of the seven apertures in her head. There was only a face with long hair floating on Yang Dingtians bed without a body. Her cries were so sullen and gloomy that Yang Dingtian felt a chill in his bones and goosebumps all over. Sister Ningning. Yang Dingtian reached out to Ningning, but all he felt from her was her ice-cold hand that felt like itd belonged to a corpse. Yang Dingtian was stunned and then stared at the female ghost. Who are you? What have you done to Sister Ningning? I am Zhao Xiu Er. I died so pitifully. That shadowless female ghost said, Tell me your name. Are you my enemy? Tell me your name.... I am Ning Que, Yang Dingtian said. No, youre lying. Youre not Ning Que.... The female ghost said angrily, Youre lying. You must be the one who killed me. Ill kill you, Ill kill you.... Suddenly, two lines of black smoke emerged from the dark and slammed onto Yang Dingtians neck. He couldnt breathe. I died so pitifully. Ill kill you all. You are all my enemies.... In an instant, the feeling of suffocation got stronger and stronger. He wanted to break free from the rope around his neck and tried to grab at it, but he couldnt as it was a spectral rope. Die, die, you all lied, and I am going to kill you all... The womans laughter was so high-pitch that it caused him to shudder. Freeze! Suddenly, Ningnings voice was heard, and the feeling of suffocation that Yang Dingtian felt instantly disappeared. You actually dare cause a scene with such insignificant mental magic? Youre looking to die! Ningning said coldly, staring at the corner of the bed. She caught the ghost immediately. Ahh.... Suddenly, that bodiless female ghost let out a horrible scream, and the scene changed within seconds. The specter had turned into a strange little beast and was held tightly in Ningnings hand. It kept on screaming. This beast was extremely strange. It had the wings of a bat and body of a snake but had a human-like face. This is a Mental Demonic Beast known as the Enchanting Demon with a human face, Ningning said. Its very, very rare and is considered one of the rarest demonic beasts in the world. I never expected one to appear in Horror Mountain Village. Yang Dingtian stared at this Enchanting Demon with a human face and said, This little thing is so powerful. It uses mental attacks, causing hallucination and is completely undetectable, especially during deep sleep when the mental defenses are the weakest, Ningning said. It seems like the so-called ghost rumors were caused by this little thing. It must have been sent to test our identity. Want to live? Ningning stared at the demonic beast. This little beast nodded desperately, but it couldnt speak. The words uttered by the female ghost earlier were merely a hallucination made by the mind. This demonic beast itself couldnt speak. I have implanted three mental restrictions in your brain, and if you wish to live, you know what to report, Ningning said. Just say that we scared you, causing you to faint immediately. The Enchanting Demon with a human face nodded and opened its eyes wide, looking at Ningning pitifully to beg for his life. Also, I want to ask you something. Is there a Millennium Owl in this Horror Mountain Village? Ningning asked. The little beast thought for a while and shook its head. Ningnings brow creased, and a mental energy emerged. Instantly, the body of the demonic beast was twisted and pulled in midair, causing it to scream out in pain. Is there a Millennium Owl? Ningning asked again. The beast desperately nodded. There really was a Millennium Owl!! Is it locked up in the crypt? Ningning asked. The beast instantly nodded. Where is the entrance to the crypt? Ningning asked. The demonic beast moved its teeth and claws to produce some weird sound. I get it. You can go and report now. Ningning let it go. The demonic beast spread its wings and immediately escaped. It said that the entrance to the crypt is within the central tower of Horror Mountain Village, Ningning said. Chapter 78: The Perfect Formation is Right Here Chapter 78: The Perfect Formation is Right HereTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales It said that the entrance to the crypt is within the central tower of Horror Mountain Village, Ningning said. Horror Mountain Village was huge with a total of two to three thousand acres of land, and the entire mountain village wasnt all on level ground. As a result, it was too difficult to find the center of it. Also, there were many towers in Horror Mountain Village. On the way here, Yang Dingtian saw at least dozens of them. Which tower was the entrance to the crypt where the Millennium Owl was sealed? We would need the map of Horror Mountain Village, Yang Dingtian said. That way, well be able to find the exact center point of the village without raising Zhao Mus suspicions. Dont worry, I have a way, Ningning said. Then, she climbed out of bed, walked to the window barefooted, opened both windows, and looked up to the night sky. Yang Dingtian walked over and covered her half-naked body with clothes. All he saw was Ningning with her eyes closed, reaching her hands out of the window and whispering some beautiful words. About five minutes later, a Night Vision Bird flew over out of the darkness. Ningning opened her eyes, touched the bird and said, This Night Vision Bird will be my eyes and view all of Horror Mountain Village from the sky. This way, well be able to find the center point. However, during this time, all of my focus will be concentrated on this Night Vision Bird, so dont let anything disturb me or touch me. Otherwise, my concentration will be completely ruined. Yang Dingtian was surprised, but he pulled out the Flame Feather with a serious face. He stood guard next to Ningning and said, I will be by your side. I wont let anyone interrupt you unless its over my dead body! Ningning smiled gently. Then, she placed the Night Vision Bird right in front of her, staring into its eyes as if she was trying to inject all of her consciousness into it. One minute. Three minutes. Five minutes! The eyes of the Night Vision Bird became brighter and brighter, more and more radiant. Meanwhile, Ningnings eyes became blurrier and blurrier, more and more mysterious. Then, Ningning suddenly loosened her hands, and the Night Vision Bird flew out into the darkness, flying upwards towards the night sky. It hovered over the mountain village. Beast language masters were apparently so powerful and mysterious. Yang Dingtian held the Flame Feather and looked out into the darkness. It was as if a strong enemy could come at any moment. The wait felt like a year as he was afraid that something might happen suddenly. Chirp... A few minutes later! Following the sound of the bird, the Night Vision Bird rushed out of the darkness once again, flying back to Ningnings hand. Nothing had happened after all. Ningnings eyes recovered their brightness, and she took out a tiny pill and placed it into the birds mouth as a reward. The Night Vision Bird happily swallowed the tiny pill and kissed Ningnings palm. Go..., Ningning said gently, staring after the Night Vision Bird as it spread its wings and flew away, disappearing into the darkness. Ningning quickly took a piece of paper and used a pen to draw the general shape of the village. The entire village is round with half of it being fiery red land and the other half being a green pool. There are countless tall towers within the mountain village, but there are six that are the tallest. Among them, there are five towers distributed across five corners, forming a pentagon. At the center of this pentagon lies the tallest tower, also known as Burial Tower, the place where the Zhao family buried their deceased for generations. The Millennium Owl that was locked in the crypt is located right beneath the Burial tower and is heavily guarded. Unless Zhao Mu brings us there, we wont even be able to enter. Yang Dingtian looked at the shape of the entire village drawn on the map. Half of it was fiery land while the other half was a pool of water. This is the half Yin and half Yang land that Xuanwu Fengyan mentioned before. The five tall towers on the map formed a pentagon. Half Yin and half Yang, resembling the Tai Chi on earth. Combined with the five-pointed star-shaped towers, it naturally formed a perfect Yin Yang Five-Element Formation. The center of the Burial Tower was right at the center of the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation. Yang Dingtian was excited as all these characteristics naturally formed a perfect Yin Yang Five-Element Formation. In recent days, he had just been hunting for demon nuclei and had not yet had time to find a place to build the formation. Furthermore, the place also played an extremely important role as, without a place for Yin and Yang to blend, it was impossible to form the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation. On top of that, even if such a place was found, the size of the formation and its strength would also have to be considered. If the formation isnt big and strong enough, the amount of Xuan energy of Heaven and Earth being condensed would be less and would not be sufficient for Yang Dingtian to break through to become a Six-star Xuan Martial Artist. Now, a Yin Yang Five-Element Formation that covered two to three thousand acres was right in front of him, and he hadnt needed to do a thing. How could Yang Dingtian not be surprised and excited? Probably, the Horror Mountain Village was itself a huge array that was built just to seal the Millennium Owl. Only, at this point in time, it had also become the ideal place for Yang Dingtian to set up his formation. Currently, he had obtained four of the demon nuclei and the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation. All he had left to acquire was just one electric demon nucleus. There was an electric demon nucleus inside the brain of the Millennium Owl, probably the only such demon nucleus within thousands of kilometers. Even if the Millennium Owl is sealed, it is still extremely powerful. Accordingly, as soon as we enter Horror Mountain Village, we should have been able to detect its presence, but I couldnt detect it because of this Burial tower. This tower is the burial ground for all the top masters for generations, and the Yin energy there is so strong that it completely concealed the scent of the Millennium Owl, Ningning said: Okay, lets go back to sleep. Well enter the Burial Tower tomorrow and try to find the entrance to the crypt that will lead us to the Millennium Owl. Then, Ningning took off the clothes covering her and sneaked back into bed half-naked. Sister Ningning, will that little thing betray us as soon as it goes back to its master? Yang Dingtian asked. It wont. None of the mental demonic beasts are loyal, and they listen to whoever is stronger. I believe that within thousands of kilometers, there wont be a Mental Beastmaster who is stronger than me, Ningning said. Lets sleep. We have important things to do tomorrow. At this time, only two and a half days remained before the Yin Yang Festival! On the second day, Zhao Mu really did come to greet them early in the morning. He accompanied both Yang Dingtian and Ningning to explore the entirety of Horror Mountain Village right after breakfast. Ningning didnt look so good as if last nights nightmare was still on her mind. Throughout the tour of the village, she showed a dissatisfied expression. Zhao Wu did not become unhappy because of that but instead explained more diligently. Along the way, Yang Dingtian saw many tall towers, but five were particularly tall and different in color. They were fiery-red, ice-blue, ash-grey, golden-yellow, transparent and colorless. The five towers were situated at the corners of the village to form a five-pointed star, representing the five elements Oh God, this really was a natural Yin Yang Five-Element Formation that covered a few thousand acres! The owner of Horror Mountain Village built this array 300 years ago around the Yin Burial Tower to seal the Millennium Owl. At this moment, however, it was also the most ideal place for Yang Dingtian to break through. Right now, Yang Dingtian was even more eager to get the electric demon nucleus of the Millennium Owl. ... After exploring for more than two hours, they finally walked to the center of the Horror Mountain Village according to the original plan. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but ask about the 100-meter-tall tower located not far away. Young master, this tower is probably the tallest building in the mountain village. What is its purpose? Zhao Mu replied respectfully, This is the burial ground of my ancestors. The Burial Tower was the entrance to the crypt where the Millennium Owl was located. They had to find a way to enter. Yang Dingtian instantly replied respectfully, So, it is the place where your ancestors reside. We have been causing so much trouble for you all since we came to the village. We must definitely enter and pay our respects. Please lead the way, young master. Zhao Mu immediately said, I dont dare. Both of your statuses are so high. How can I do so? Our Horror Mountain Village definitely cannot be so disrespectful towards both of our precious guests. Ning Que, whats so good about that place? Ningning said with a seductive tone. I dont want to go. Yang Dingtian, acting as Ning Que, rolled his eyes. Meanwhile, Ningning, acting as Qin Hongmian, tried to appease him and said, Okay, go, go, go. Zhao Mu, please lead the way. But, Zhao Mu struggled and said. Just lead the way. Why are you stalling? Ningning complained: Could it be that there is something that we shouldnt see inside? The two of you really want to enter? Zhao Mu asked. Ningning threw a temper tantrum again, and Yang Dingtian quickly said, If we dont go after knowing what is inside, our elders will say that were not educated. Okay then, this way please! Zhao Mu said. Then, he led Yang Dingtian and Ningning towards the hundred-meter-tall Burial Tower. ...... The Burial Tower was even more spectacular when observed up close. At the moment, the door was shut, but there was still a cold Yin energy around. There were hundreds of guards posted around the surrounding plaza with countless giant poison arrows hidden at different areas. It could be said that this Burial tower was the place that had the tightest security in the entire village. Zhao Mu went in front and knocked on the door lightly. Who is it? An old mans voice sounded out. The owner of this voice must be a top master. Its me, Zhao Mu said. The giant wooden door opened, and a cold Yin aura instantly rushed out, causing people to feel chills and their vision to darken. When the door was completely open, the inside looked completely dark as if it were the mouth of a devil. The two of you, this way please! Zhao Mu bowed and said. Yang Dingtian and Ningning both took deep breaths and stepped into the huge Burial Tower. Right after stepping in, the surrounding air immediately turned cold, and the temperature inside was at least ten degrees colder than the outside. Ningnings body couldnt help but shiver. After entering and looking up, Yang Dingtian and Ningning couldnt help but stare in wonder. This hundred-meter-tall tower didnt have many floors. It had only just the one that was a hundred meters high. Furthermore, the walls of the tower were filled with coffins. The inside was pentagonal with five faces. Every five meters, there was a huge black coffin with half buried in the wall and the other half jutting out. Hundreds of huge black coffins were suspended on each face, layer by layer, with a corpse within each coffin. Upon entering the hall, they found that they were completely surrounded by coffins and couldnt help but tremble. Their limbs turned cold, and they were suppressed to the extent where they could barely breathe. Ningning slowly closed her eyes and focused her mind to find the scent of the Millenium Owl. The yin energy was extremely rich here, and the bodies of hundreds of powerful people had previously masked the Millennium Owls scent. But, there had to be the hint of a trail, and the place where the scent of the Millennium Owl would be was where the entrance to the crypt lay. Ningning was suppressing her fear as she walked through the spacious tower. Looking up at hundreds of hanging coffins, she sighed. However, all of her focus was on looking for the scent of a Millennium Owl. One minute, two minutes... Five minutes! Though Ningning was somewhat disrespectful, Zhao Mu did not stop her but stood on one side. When she passed by one of the bricks, Ningning stopped for a while, and her expression changed a little. S~?a??h the Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Shed found it. It was right here, the brick under her foot. Ximen Ningning felt a powerful energy that even the strong Yin energy in the tower couldnt conceal. This was undoubtedly the aura of the Millennium Owl. The spot was also the central part of the entire tower. The Millennium Owl was right below. Chapter 79: Magma Crypt, Millennium Owl! Chapter 79: Magma Crypt, Millennium Owl!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales The Millennium Owl was right below. At this moment, Zhao Mu noticed something wrong with Ningnings pallor, and his expression changed slightly. A chilling feeling flashed past. Yang Dingtian quickly said, Hongmian, dont be so disrespectful. Quickly kneel down and pray. They must not arouse any Zhao Mus suspicions. Otherwise, not only would they not be able to get the electric demon nucleus, but they would also even die here. Oh! Ningning knelt down together with Yang Dingtian unwillingly and gave three kowtows. One! Two! Three! Then, the two of them stood up and prepared to leave. They were planning to sneak into the tower at night and enter the dungeon through the entrance they found to get the Millennium Owl. However, the slate on the ground beneath their feet suddenly broke, revealing a hole underneath. Yang Dingtian and Ningning instantly fell through. Then, incomparably boiling hot air rushed up towards them. While the two of them fell, the surroundings got hotter and hotter. This was an incomparably huge cavern abyss with a diameter of several meters. The thick and solid rock formed a dome that supported the entirety of Horror Mountain Village, which meant that the area beneath the village was hollow. Ten thousand meters below lay a bottomless magma sea that measured a few million square meters. The blood-red magma was emitting horrific heat energy. If anyone were to fall in, they will die without leaving a trace even if they were elites. Bang! Yang Dingtian and Ningning did not fall into the magma sea but fell hard onto a huge slab that was suspended in midair. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..... Four elites in black robes descended from the huge entrance and hovered around Yang Dingtian. Then, an old man descended slowly, carrying Zhao Mu on his back and placing him on the other end of the slab. The suspended slab was about a hundred square meters. Both of you must be here for the Millennium Owl, judging from your hard work, Zhao Mu said. Ningning helped Yang Dingtian up and complained coldly, How dare you, Zhao Mu? My Red Rock Fortress will not let you go. The same goes for the Qin family. You arent Qin Hongmian at all, Zhao Mu said coldly. I found out last night. Both Yang Dingtian and Ningning were shocked, but they did not utter a single word. Zhao Mu smiled. Because the woman who brought you all to the Phoenix Guest House was not my wife, Qin Wanru. Since you didnt recognize her, from that moment onwards, I knew that you were definitely not Qin Hongmian. Yang Dingtian and Ningning exchanged a glance. They never expected to have made this mistake. Zhao Mu was truly cunning. The reason I played along with your act was because I wanted to know your true motives for coming here, Zhao Mu said. I guessed it correctly. It was for the Millennium Owl. Yang Dingtian looked at Zhao Mus pale and handsome face and felt chills in his heart. This person was truly a sly fox, even more cunning than his father. He probably used all he had to hone his talents in manipulation after being crippled by Dongfang Bingling. Of course, even the real Qin Hongmian needs to die, Zhao Mu said. Because Qin Shaobai has given orders to all forces within hundreds of kilometers to rape and kill Qin Hongmian once she is found. As long as one is able to chop off her head, he will reward one heavily. Zhao Mu looked at Ningnings delicate body and said, Then, Ill just go with the flow and abuse you a hundred times before sending you to Qin Shaobai. As for your beautiful lover. Zhao Mu looked at Yang Dingtian and said, Didnt you both want the Millennium Owl? Then, well feed him to it. Throw him down, Zhao Mu ordered coldly. Immediately, an elite in black robes charged over, and a huge force pushed Yang Dingtian forward. Yang Dingtians body flew off the platform, falling down towards the magma abyss. No! Ningning shouted and jumped off the slab, trying to grab Yang Dingtians hand. No one expected her to jump down after Yang Dingtian. S?a?ch* Th? n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. At the same time, a loud noise erupted from the magma sea thousands of meters below, and countless blood-red magma jets spurt out. Then, an incomparably huge beast emerged from the magma sea, revealing half of its horrifying body. It opened its mouth and kept growling. Then, the entire huge abyss cave started shaking. It was the Millennium Owl, an extremely powerful and rare dark creature. Yang Dingtian and Ningning kept falling, and as they were about to fall into the abyss, they landed on the belly of the Millennium Owl. Zhao Mu, do you want to cure the cold poison in your body? Do you want to recover and become strong again? Yang Dingtian held onto Ningnings hand as they were falling and yelled back at Zhao Mu as they did. The Millennium Owl below had already opened its mouth wide, preparing to swallow the two of them. Wait... Zhao Mu waved his hand. Whoosh... The old man stretched out his palm towards Yang Dingtian, and a strong force sucked both Yang Dingtian and Ningning back. Zhao Mu looked at Yang Dingtian and said coldly, Was what you said just now true? If you dare to lie to me, Ill definitely let you suffer the most tragic torture in the world. And, at that time, dying will be a luxury for you. I can immediately prove it to you, Yang Dingtian said. Let me up. Zhao Mu nodded. The old man pulled back his hand, and both Yang Dingtian and Ningning returned to the large suspended rock. The Millennium Owl ten thousand meters below growled out in anger. Dont talk nonsense. Prove it to me or you wont survive. I will also abuse your woman here...., Zhao Mu said coldly. Yang Dingtian said, If I were you, I would definitely not say that last part because we might be allies, even long-term allies. Then, he took out a box from his sleeve and opened it. Within lay a needle, and inside the three-to-four-inch needle was Yang Dingtians blood. Inject this needle into your arm, and youll see the effect, Yang Dingtian said. Zhao Mu looked at the needle, his expression filled with excitement and suspicion. He looked at Yang Dingtian and said, How can I guarantee that whats inside is not a deadly poison? You might want to threaten me after poisoning me. Do I look like such a dumb person? Yang Dingtian said coldly. I will not trust anyone, Zhao Mu said coldly: Inject this needle on your woman first. Then, pass it to me. Then, it will only be left with half the effect, Yang Dingtian said. Do it, Zhao Mu ordered. No, Yang Dingtian said coldly. I can inject it in my body but not in my womans because I dont want her to have any contact with you, even if its indirect. Zhao Mu scanned Yang Dingtian from top to bottom for a while. Then, he nodded and said, Okay, then inject it into your body first to test it. Even before the other finished talking, Yang Dingtian injected the needle into his arm and pulled it out. Zhao Mu waited for a moment, and after hed confirmed that nothing had happened to Yang Dingtian, he said, Give me the needle. The old man reached out with his palm again, and the needle was sucked to his hands. He placed it below his nose and sniffed it lightly. Then, he said with a rough voice, This thing is of Yang nature and is not poisonous. Zhao Mu took the needle, his expression showing his struggle. While he was filled with hope, at the same time, he didnt want to inject it. In this world, no one else can cure the cold poison in your body except for me. Its better to take the risk instead of living so powerlessly. It doesnt matter even if you die, Yang Dingtian said. Also, even if you decide not to take this risk, you would probably have three to five years of life left before the cold poison penetrates into your heart. It seemed like he was persuaded by Yang Dingtians words. The muscles on Zhao Mus face tightened, and he stuck it into his arm. Yang Dingtians Yang blood instantly flowed into his body. Immediately, a heat energy emerged from his arm, spreading inch by inch upwards until it spread through his entire body. Zhao Mu showed a disbelieving expression, and his face was filled with happiness. Although Yang Dingtian promised great results, he himself did not have high hopes because he had been disappointed countless times before, having long since lost hope. But, he never thought that the effect of this needle would be so impressive that it worked immediately. However, three minutes later, this heat energy gradually weakened and ultimately disappeared. This needle probably cleared one-fifth of the cold poison in his body. Do you have more? Where else can I find more? Quickly give it to me! Zhao Mu said as he trembled. Young master, you can only use one needle at a time. Youll probably need five needles to completely eliminate the cold poison in your body, Yang Dingtian said. Why? Why cant I eliminate it all at once? Tell me what you want. I can give you anything, Zhao Mu said desperately. How is that so easy? Yang Dingtian said. I have transferred the Yang energy in my body into this needle, and once every few hours is already my limit. Zhao Mu stared at Yang Dingtian for some time and said, Okay, then I have to trouble you. Mister, you must have prepared before coming right? Zhao Mu said. Yang Dingtian nodded and said, Indeed, I came to make a deal with you. I can cure your cold poison, and you will give me the Millennium Owl. Haha! Zhao Mu burst into laughter and said, You are too much. This Millennium Owl is so rare that even ten of my lives wont be as valuable as this beast. Mister, dont be too greedy. This Millennium Owl is the foundation of my Horror Mountain Village. Nothing can be exchanged for it. Youre right, Yang Dingtian nodded and said. This Millennium Owl could be more precious than that Millennium Demonic Fox with a Xuan Tail, but within these three hundred years, no one has succeeded in turning it into a weapon soul, which means that the beast is no longer of any value to your village and can even bring about a huge disaster. In five days, when both moons cover both suns, this Millennium Owl will become extremely powerful, break the seal, and destroy the entire village. Thats why using a completely worthless Millennium Owl to exchange for your life, exchange for your strength, is a good deal, Yang Dingtian said. Accept the deal. Otherwise, throw us down there to feed the beast! Chapter 80: Conquering the Owl Chapter 80: Conquering the OwlTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales After hearing what Yang Dingtian said, Zhao Mus expression changed, and he asked coldly, How do you know about all these things? This is the exclusive secret of our Horror Mountain Village that no one knows about except for our village head. How did you find out about all these things? Instantly, Zhao Mus gaze became extremely cold and scary, and if Yang Dingtian were to say the wrong thing, his life would be in danger. Yang Dingtian took out a jade from his sleeve, a black jade with a strange beast carved on its surface. That shape depicted a Millennium Owl. Do you recognize this, Young Master? Yang Dingtian asked. Youve met my father? Where is he? Zhao Mu trembled as he asked. Hes dead, Yang Dingtian said. Zhao Mus body swayed, and he almost fainted on the spot. Thats impossible. My dads cultivation was already close to a Gurus, and there arent many who are capable of killing him, Zhao Mu said angrily. Where did you meet him? Outside a cave about eight thousand kilometers away, Yang Dingtian said: He found the earth fire there and was about to melt the Bloody Black Gold to forge a basic sword. However, he was killed by the Heaven Fire Magic Phoenix demonic beast that was guarding the place, and when I saw him, he was only left with half of his body. He passed the jade to me and told me to go to Horror Mountain Village as during the Yin Yang Festival, the Millennium Owl will break the seal and destroy the entire village. He wanted you to leave Horror Mountain Village and go to a place that is hidden from the world and live a peaceful life. Most of the things that Yang Dingtian said were true: the Fiery Cloud Demonic Cave, the supreme earth fire in it, and the extremely powerful Heaven Fire Magic Phoenix inside. These are the things that Dongfang Niemie had told him. In the past, Dongfang Niemie wanted to forge an inexperienced sword there but left the moment he discovered a Heaven Fire Magic Phoenix inside. He then went to find another earth fire. Dad...., Zhao Mu cried and instantly collapsed to the ground. Zhao Wuji was a man who was ruthless, wicked, and had a distorted personality. But, he was not indifferent to his only son or he wouldnt have knelt in front of the Yin Yang Sect for three days and three nights for Zhao Mu. Everyone there remained silent, and only Zhao Mu knelt on the ground, crying in pain, crying out of his heart and lungs. After ten minutes, Zhao Mu raised his head and looked like a completely different person. He asked Yang Dingtian gently, Was my dad at peace in his last moments? Yang Dingtian hesitated. I wouldnt say peaceful but rather unwilling while also feeling liberated. Zhao Mu burst into tears again and said, He has been cultivating the sword soul for his entire life, but he eventually died there. Why is God so unfair? Then, Zhao Mu wiped off his tears and asked, Then.... sir, did you bury him? To prevent his body from being abused by the wild beasts out there? By now, Zhao Mu had changed his way of addressing Yang Dingtian, now calling him sir. Yang Dingtian showed a glimpse of guilt on his face. Sorry, young master, the situation at that time was critical. The Heaven Fire Magic Phoenix was chasing us, and the entire cave was collapsing. I didnt even to manage to listen to all of your fathers last words and had to escape immediately. But rest assured, the entire Fiery Cloud Demonic Cave has collapsed, so your father wont be abused by wild beasts since he is buried inside. By saying it this way, Yang Dingtian further convinced Zhao Mu of his words. Whatever happened, thank you. Zhao Mu stood up and bowed to Yang Dingtian. Im sorry, Im sorry..., Yang Dingtian said. Then, Zhao Mu sighed. Since Sir already knows about it, I shall no longer hide it. Just like you just said, this Millennium Owl is no longer a treasure of our Horror Mountain Village but a disaster. I can definitely give it to you, but its just that generations of our village heads havent been able to control it, and your cultivation isnt high. How are you planning to conquer it? Yang Dingtian laughed bitterly and said, To be honest, I dont know. But I dont intend to cultivate it as a soul weapon. I just need its demon nucleus. Zhao Mu was shocked. Demon Nucleus? Youre saying that you have to kill this Millennium Owl? Although its demon nucleus is extremely valuable, its nothing compared to the beast itself. Undoubtedly, killing a Millennium Owl for its demon nucleus was ten thousand times more ridiculous than returning a pearl for a casket. The value of a Millennium Owl was a million times higher than its demon nucleus. How can I not know? Yang Dingtian laughed bitterly. But I truly need its demon nucleus. Zhao Mu said, To be honest, although our ancestor sealed this Millennium Owl, that was at its weakest moment. If you intend to kill this Millennium Owl now, I guess you would need the help of Ximen Lord, Qin Familys Lord, Dongfang Guru, and others to join forces. As such, killing it and obtaining its demon nucleus is an impossible task for our village. We arent qualified to do it. It cant be killed by others. I have to kill it personally, Yang Dingtian said. How is that possible? Zhao Mu asked. Even if you become ten thousand times stronger, you wont be able to kill this Millennium Owl. What are you planning to do? To be honest with you, Young Master, I have no idea, Yang Dingtian said. I can only wait for Gods plan and risk my life for it. If God doesnt help me, I will definitely be dead. Zhao Mu was stunned. Why do you have to pick such a dead-end path? I have no other path, Yang Dingtian said. But dont worry. Even if I die, I will definitely cure the cold poison in your body before that. If I fail and die, I hope that young master will help me send this woman home. I will not leave, Ningning said gently. Zhao Mu stared at Yang Dingtian. I still cant understand. I thought that people in general do not wish to die. Sir, if you do so, it is really a path to death. Please be honest with me. This Millennium Owl is already a cause of disaster, and I can let go of it because within the next two days, everyone in Horror Mountain Village will be leaving, which means that we are completely giving up on it. But I hate to be lied to. If you cant convince me, I will not promise you. Convince you of what? Yang Dingtian asked. Make me believe that you are willing to die for the demon nucleus of this Millennium Owl, Zhao Mu said as he stared at Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian looked down, sighed, and thought for a few minutes. He raised his head and said, I am Yang Dingtian. Is that a good enough reason? Zhao Mu was stunned. Ningning looked at Yang Dingtian worriedly and said, Little Tian, how can you....? Of course Ningning was worried because it was extremely dangerous for Yang Dingtian to reveal his identity. This is the territory of the Qin family. Although Yang Dingtian was very weak, he was still very valuable. You are Yang Dingtian, the useless and crazy person, the one who wants to be the new Cloud Sky City Lord? Zhao Mu asked. Is this reason sufficient? Yang Dingtian laughed bitterly. Zhao Mu nodded. More than sufficient. At first, I thought I was at the end of my path, but it seems like Im much luckier compared to you. You really have no other path. In three days, I need to break through from an enlightener to a six-star Xuan Martial Artist. It is probably the most insane thing in the world. Yang Dingtian sighed. Even if there is only a one percent chance, I will risk my life for that possibility. Otherwise, I will lose everything, my destiny, my wife, and my friends. After listening to what Yang Dingtian said, Zhao Mu remained silent, and then, he suddenly laughed. Yang Dingtian, no wonder you said earlier that we are friends by nature. Undoubtedly, its because we have a common enemy, Dongfang Bingling. My relationship with her is way too complicated. It is like we are not enemies but have an even deeper grudge than enemies, Yang Dingtian said. Zhao Mu showed a mocking smile. Yang Dingtian, would you like to listen to my story? How I was struck and crippled by Dongfang Bingling? I know a little, Yang Dingtian said. But Im willing to listen. Everyone said that I was beaten into a useless person because I saw her beauty and had some distorted thoughts about her. Zhao Mus face was filled with pain and humiliation, but he smiled. I am a pervert. I am like a fox. That year, my father formed alliances with enemies outside and killed all of my uncles who were planning to fight for the village head position. Our Horror Mountain Village eventually became the vassal of the Northwest Qin Family, our reputation in shambles. When I travel outside, I didnt even dare reveal my identity as I was afraid that I would be humiliated. The more I felt like that, the more I wanted to become stronger, to promote justice and win back all the reputation we have lost. I wanted to make Horror Mountain Village powerful again, and I wanted it to be one of the top forces again. Zhao Mus emotions became more and more excited, and he couldnt help but take a few more breaths to calm himself down. At that time, I was cultivating every day. How would I have time to pay attention to girls? Im not afraid of you laughing at me. I was 24 years old then, and I had never touched a woman before. I told myself that I needed to cultivate until I become a Guru, which is when I will marry and have kids. Although Dongfang Bingling was beautiful like an angel, how would I dare to flirt with her? Zhao Mu continued, The truth was that time, I was on my way to Hell Training Ground to practice with some disciples of the Qin family. At that time, there was a rumor that there was a supreme Xuan technique scroll there, and many strong elites had gone to contend for it. Qin Huaiyu and I were considered the strongest there. As soon as we entered the Hell Training Ground, we met Dongfang Bingling who had come alone. At that time, Qin Huaiyu and the others didnt recognize Dongfang Bingling and had bad thoughts when they saw how beautiful she was. They wanted to abuse her, destroy her cultivation, and have her in bed. Reaching this point, Zhao Mus voice trembled again. To be honest, Dongfang Bingling wasnt that beautiful, but she could move the heart of every man. This fact is something that I agree with. At that moment, I was truly a little fond of her and couldnt bear to see her fall into the hands of that garbage Qin Huaiyu, so I warned her: This is a dangerous place. Why did you come here alone to look at the crowd? Leave now or there will be a fatal disaster. It seemed like Zhao Mu clearly remembered the words that he said. That was exactly what I told her. I did not add a single word or lie about what I said. Zhao Mu clenched his teeth. After hearing me, she looked at me and showed a glimpse of disdain. Then, she struck me, sending me a few dozen feet away. My veins were all torn, and I immediately fainted. When I woke up, I had already become a cripple. Then, I realized that this woman was Dongfang Bingling, the daughter of the Yin Yang Sects Lord, a Celestial, the most talented person in the world who could possibly become a martial saint. Zhao Mu laughed. Then, everyone laughed at me, said that I was a pervert wanting to molest the angel, and it served me right that I was crippled. Not only could my father not fight for justice for me, but he also even had to go to the Yin Yang Sect and kneel for three days and three nights to beg for their forgiveness. Even today, I am still the laughingstock of the world. S?a??h th? ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Such an arrogant angel, arrogant Yin Yang Sect. Could it be that us normal people deserve to be beaten to death and be trampled over by thousands of feet? Haha, haha... After he finished talking, Zhao Mu laughed out loud. It was even more heartbreaking than his cries. Yang Dingtian looked at Zhao Mu who was crying and laughing at the same time. He sighed in his heart. He pitied him and also knew that Dongfang Bingling was truly arrogant and didnt seem to care of the life of others. Brother Zhao Mu, If I manage to pass through this round and if I manage to win the fight with her in five years, I will definitely make her clear your name to the entire world, Yang Dingtian said gently. I cant say that I will kill her to avenge you or destroy her cultivation to vent your anger because she is my masters only daughter. But I will try my best to get you justice. Zhao Mu looked at Yang Dingtian for a long time and bowed. Thank you, Brother Yang. Then, Zhao Mu said, Accordingly, a man should wipe away his humiliation by himself. But I have self-awareness, and although I am also talented, I will never be her opponent even if I had never been injured. My distance from her would only grow further and further apart. Eventually, it would become impossible for me to get justice. Dongfang Bingling is an incredibly talented person. Do you have the confidence to beat her in the fight in five years? Yang Dingtian said, I can only say that I will try my best. If I am able to win in the fight in five days, I will probably have a little more confidence. My Xuan vein talent isnt as high as Dongfang Binglings, and she is way ahead of me. Therefore, I can only take the path that no one has ever taken. That is my only hope. Zhao Mu looked at Yang Dingtian. Brother Yang, I officially hand over this Millennium Owl to you. I hope that you succeed. Chapter 81: How to Kill? Chapter 81: How to Kill?Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Thank you, Yang Dingtian said. If I succeed, I will definitely regard Horror Mountain Village as my ally and Brother Zhao Mu as my friend. If you dont betray me, I will definitely not betray you. Deal. Zhao Mu extended his hand. Deal. Yang Dingtian too extended his hand. Zhao Mu said, Normally, I should release the two of you and treat you as my valuable guests. However, there are many eyes belonging to the Northwest Qin family in my village, and since Ive already captured you two, it will cause suspicion if I were to release you all just like that. So, I can only let you both suffer a little here for a few days until I arrange things properly. Then, I will bring the two of you out. His so-called arrangement would surely be to find a woman who looked similar to Qin Hongmian. After disguising her, hell chop her head off and send it to Qin Shaobai. I dont need to get out. This place is just fine as I am able to observe this Millennium Owl here, Yang Dingtian said. Then, I shall go settle this matter. Just let me know if you two wish to leave this place, but before I settle everything, try not to leave this Burial Tower, Zhao Mu said: I will send three meals a day as well as all the necessities over. Thank you, Yang Dingtian said. Farewell! Zhao Mu replied. You all bring young master out of this place, the old man suddenly said. Ill have a word with Yang Dingtian. Yes! An elite in black robes immediately picked Zhao Mu up, floated upwards, and left through the entrance of the Burial Tower. After everyone left, the old man slowly said, Young brother, you lied. Hearing that, Yang Dingtians expression changed slightly. Village head Zhao Wuji did not die in that so-called Demon Cave but mustve died in your hands even if its not directly. The old man stared at Yang Dingtian with red eyes and said coldly, You can cheat others but not me. The entrance to the Fiery Cloud Demon Cave had already collapsed five years ago! Yang Dingtian was stunned. He thought there werent any flaws in the story he told. How did this old man know? Ximen Ningning also felt the chills and was about to focus her Xuan energy to use the Mental Art of Freezing. Because Ive been to that Fiery Cloud Demon Cave five years ago, the old man said. You thought your lie was perfect, but I am coincidentally aware of this flaw. Thats why I know that youre lying. But you still cant prove that I am the one that killed Zhao Wuji, Yang Dingtian said. Your talent is truly amazing, and the moment village head meets such a talented person, he will definitely kill him, which is why you definitely fell into his hands. But in the end, you are still alive, but hes dead. This means that his death is definitely related to you even though I dont know how you killed him, the old man said slowly. Yang Dingtians heart was pounding. Who was this old man? How was he so perceptive? Although theyd never met before, his predictions were close to the truth. But, he could have exposed Yang Dingtian earlier and didnt. Instead, he waited until everyone left before he pointed out Yang Dingtians lie. Mister, what is the point of saying this now? What is that you want to do? Yang Dingtian asked. The old man walked towards Yang Dingtian while eyeing Ningning. Young woman, your talent is also pretty amazing. But your Mental Art of Freezing is completely ineffective against me. After Ningnings action was pointed out, she was stunned but smiled anyway. She held her Xuan energy back and said, Old Mister, please be direct with us if theres anything that you want to say. Dont scare us. The old man reached out his hand for Yang Dingtians wrist and forcefully injected some Xuan energy into his body. This Xuan energy was extremely strong and spread throughout Yang Dingtians entire body in no time. Then, the old man immediately showed a frightened face and said, Such powerful talent, completely unpredictable. No wonder both Ximen Wuya and Dongfang Niemie chose you. There arent many in the world who are capable of recognizing Yang Dingtians Xuan vein talent, but this old man was one such person. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but ask, Who are you exactly? The old man did not answer but continued, I did not expose you just now because other than Zhao Wujis matter, you did not lie on other things. At least your character is good, and your promise to Zhao Mu was sincere. If I did not guess wrongly, the thing that can cure the cold poison in Zhao Mus body isnt any so-called Yang energy that is injected into the needle but your blood. Your blood is the most Yang thing there is. Yang Dingtian nodded. Youre right. I can actually completely cure Brother Zhao Mu here. No need. Cure him over five doses, the old man said. The fact that Zhao Wuji died in your hands must be his fault. He was already insane, and he would have died one day even if it wasnt just recently. But young man, do remember to fulfill the promise you made today. Understand? I will, senior, Yang Dingtian said. If I became strong one day, I will definitely get justice for Brother Zhao Mu. Not just that. You still need to release Horror Mountain Village from the Qin familys hands, the old man added. Yang Dingtian was stunned. I will try my best. Of course you have to try your best. The Qin family wont stay still and watch you get stronger and stronger. The moment they realize that you are a threat to them, they will come out with hundreds of ways to eliminate you, the old man said. What he said was correct. The Qin family had not killed Yang Dingtian because he was considered a useless person who didnt threaten the Qin family and was somewhat useful. Zhao Mu is not a bad child. Even if youve killed his father, I hope you will not have a knot in your heart and treat him sincerely. He will not let you down, the old man said. I will, Yang Dingtian replied. I believe in you, the old man said. Ximen Wuya and Dongfang Niemie were top-notch heroes, and I believe in their vision. But, no one can help you with this Millennium Owl. You need to depend on yourself, and I cant wait to see what happens. Then, the old man gradually floated upwards. Ill be leaving first. Watching the old man fly higher and higher, Yang Dingtian couldnt help but ask, Senior, what is your name? The old man said, Zhao Wujin. Zhao Wujin. Yang Dingtians heart fluttered. Wasnt this person already dead? When Zhao Wuji snatched the Village head position back then, he just wanted to destroy my cultivation and imprison me and never thought of killing me. It was the Northwest Qin family who wiped out all of the top elites of our village and threw me into the magma, causing me to burn horribly. Zhao Mu saved me that day and hid me here. He found countless medicines to nurse me back to health, Zhao Wujin said: Thats why this child is not bad. Dont you betray him. Yes, senior! Yang Dingtian bowed at him. Zhao Wujin lightly flicked his sleeve, and the rock door above him opened. Zhao Wujin left, and the rock door closed once again. This person was actually Zhao Wujin. No wonder he is so powerful, Ningning said. He was just one step from becoming a Guru. If Zhao Wuji did not welcome their enemies in, this Horror Mountain Village could have probably become the third largest force within thousands of kilometers, right below the Northwest Qin family and Cloud Sky City. Yes, Zhao Wuji wanted the village head position, but Horror Mountain Village ended up losing its reputation. This person was really muddled, Yang Dingtian said. At this point in time, regardless of the rest of faction, as long as there is one Guru-rank elite, that factions power would jump tremendously and rank among the strongest in the world. This was because Guru elites were a very small circle. As long as one entered this circle, the strongest in the world would acknowledge you and recognize your status. This world really revolves around talented people. Yang Dingtian sighed. The fact that Horror Mountain Village wasnt listed among the three Sects, nine Factions, and twenty-seven Groups was also because it lacked a Guru elite. Ningning said, Actually, the three Sects, nine Factions, and twenty-seven Groups are just an invention of the huge sect. While they might not be the strongest, those not listed arent necessarily weak. Yang Dingtian said, But if Zhao Wujin wasnt betrayed and managed to reach the Guru rank, then hed be at the same level as Uncle Ximen, right? No, he would just be a Guru-level elite, Ningning said. Godfather would still be at the Great Guru level. He was very low profile, so everyone at the fight on the sea thought he was merely a Guru-level elite. Only the Great Guru level is the top of the world. There is a huge gap between the Guru level and the Great Guru level. Most Gurus are unable to overcome this gap throughout their entire lives. Yang Dingtian asked, Then, how many Great Guru Elites were there on that day? There are only four people which are Godfather, Sect Lord Dongfang, Zhu Qingzhu, and Lord Ying Zhong, Ximen Ningning said. Godfathers Xuan vein talent was the weakest among them, but he had the highest chance of being the number one elite in the world. If it wasnt for that incident, Zhu Qingzhu wouldnt have been Godfathers opponent in five years. And in ten years, Sect Lord Dongfang might not have been Godfathers match. In twenty years, Godfather could probably even fight Sect Lord Yin Zhong. Yang Dingtians heart twitched. Ximen Wuya couldve been the worlds number one, but he died just to save him. Uncle Ximen, I will finish your destiny even if it costs me everything. Millennium Owl, you are my first step. Yang Dingtian looked down at the magma sea ten thousand meters below. At the moment, the Millennium Owl was already completely submerged in the magma. He stared at the location of its last appearance as if he were trying to see through the magma. ****** S?a?ch* Th? ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Master, this Millennium Owl is right below us. How can I kill it and obtain its demon nucleus? Yang Dingtian asked in his heart. Dongfang Niemie remained silent for a while and said, God is really playing a huge prank. You just need a low-rank electric-type demon nucleus. But he gave you an extremely powerful Millennium Owl, a leader-rank demonic beast that is even scarier than a Great Guru elite. Indeed, Yang Dingtian also didnt know whether to laugh or cry. Dongfang Niemie continued, Although its energy has been completely sealed, it still has very strong defense. Its skin has been tempered countless times by lightning, so it is even harder than gold. Almost all weapons are unable to pierce its skin. Although its Xuan energy has been sealed, its natural energy is already extremely strong. It has so much energy that even if a Great Guru elite got close to it, he would still be killed with one strike! Ah... Yang Dingtian was shocked and let out a yell. A Millennium Owl that even a Guru elite was unable to conquer was his opponent. He was a mere enlightener. This is nonsense. Master, is there no way for us to kill this Millennium Owl? Yang Dingtian couldnt help but ask. It can be killed! Dongfang Niemie said: But, you need two things! Chapter 82: Two Items! Chapter 82: Two Items!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Master, what are the two items that I need? Yang Dingtian asked. The first item is the supreme Bloody Black Gold Sword, Dongfang Niemie said. Only the supreme Bloody Black Gold Sword is capable of piercing through the Millennium Owls outer hide. The supreme Bloody Black Gold Sword is forged by using 999 pieces of Bloody Black Gold. Ahh.... Yang Dingtian screamed out of frustration. This was too difficult. However, he then thought of uncle Ximens soul sword, a supreme Bloody Black Gold Sword. He still had two and a half days before the Yin Yang Festival, and he would still make it if he went back to get it. You cant do that, Dongfang Niemie said. It must be your own Bloody Black Gold Sword. Theres no doubt that your Uncle Ximens sword is a supreme Bloody Black Gold Sword, but no one can use the sword except for him. Regardless of who uses this soul sword, as long as it is not the owner himself, the sword soul inside will turn against the person using it until the person is killed. This is the reason that no one dares to touch that treasure sword. Otherwise, the entire world would go crazy fighting for his supreme Bloody Black Gold Sword. Yang Dingtian thought about it. Indeed, after Ximen Wuya got into trouble, many of the faces of the people in Cloud Sky City have changed. However, no one has ever shown their greed to possess his supreme Soul Sword. This was too difficult! It must be his own Bloody Black Gold Sword, and Yang Dingtian had hidden most of his Bloody Black Gold with the lord of the abyss. Where else can he find a quality Bloody Black Gold Sword? Suddenly, Yang Dingtian remembered something and asked, Master, how about a Bloody Black Gold Soul Sword without an owner? Dongfang Niemie said, Thats possible because we only need pure physical damage. As long as the sword is solid and sharp enough, it will do. Yang Dingtian said, Zhao Wuji has a Bloody Black Gold Sword that hed failed to cultivate. It is a quality sword forged from 99 pieces of Bloody Black Gold. It is a Bloody Black Gold Sword made out of only 99 pieces. It is truly a little less than we need, Dongfang Niemie said. Of course, if this Millennium Owl has been injured before, then its old wound would be its weakest spot. But I wont be able to guarantee that this quality of sword is capable of piercing through it. No matter what, I still have to try, Yang Dingtian said. But, Im not sure if Zhao Wujis failed Bloody Black Gold Sword is still in this village. Even if it is still in the village, now that Zhao Wuji is already dead, it is even more difficult to get Zhao Mu to offer up that treasure sword, Dongfang Niemie said. Thats right. The fact that he is willing to hand over the Millennium Owl to Yang Dingtian is already a huge kindness. Also handing over the Bloody Black Gold Soul Sword would be too much. Master, then what is the second item needed to kill the Millennium Owl? Yang Dingtian asked. Although the Millennium Owls Xuan energy has been sealed, it still has millions of pounds of strength. Even if a Guru Master got close, he would be crushed into pieces instantly, Dongfang Niemie said. So, you need an item, something that is capable of completely sealing the Millennium Owl to the extent where it would be unable to even move. What is that? Yang Dingtian asked. Wait till you get the quality Bloody Black Gold Sword and Ill let you know, Dongfang Niemie said. Yang Dingtian contemplated and nodded after some time. **** Two hours later, Zhao Mu brought over some wine and food. He wasnt carried down this time but came down in a cage. How will you kill this Millennium Owl? Brother Yang, what is your plan? Zhao Mu asked. Ningning arranged the wine and dishes nicely and poured some wine for both Yang Dingtian and Zhao Mu. After having a taste of the wine, Yang Dingtian said, I would need a supreme Bloody Black Gold Sword to kill this Millennium Owl as it is the only thing that is capable of piercing through its hide. Zhao Mu was shocked. There are no more than five supreme Bloody Black Gold Swords in the world. My father-in-law and my master both have one, but you cant use them. Yang Dingtian showed a bitter smile. Actually, I only need a low-rank electric-type demonic beast, but I am somehow facing this Millennium Owl. Electric-type demonic beasts, as pure energy creatures, are way too rare, Zhao Mu said. And because it is so rare that our Zhao Clan did everything to obtain it. Our clan moved here and built this Horror Mountain Village hoping to cultivate it as a martial soul. I take this as a test given to me by God, Yang Dingtian said. Then, the two of them no longer discussed the Millennium Owl and started talking about some of the matters happening in the Western Continent. Theyd also talked about some of the history of Cloud Sky City and the Northwest Qin family. Throughout, Yang Dingtian never asked Zhao Mu for the quality Bloody Black Gold. After finishing all the wine and dishes, Zhao Mu said, The two of you can now leave this place and rest inside the Burial Tower. As soon I finish handling some matters, you may move back out to the village tomorrow morning. Thank you, but this place is already pretty good, Yang Dingtian said. Zhao Mu took the food box and prepared to leave. Hold on, Brother Zhao Mu. Yang Dingtian suddenly stopped him. Then, he opened a box and took out four needles, stabbing them into his chest to fill them with his blood. Then, he placed those needles back into the box and passed it to Zhao Mu. Previously, I wasnt sure of your character and lied to you that it would take me four infusions to complete this needle antidote, but it was actually only my blood that was inside. Im afraid of any unexpected changes, so Im passing all four of them to you now. As soon as you inject them into your veins, most of your cultivation should be recovered after resting for about half a year. Zhao Mu was shocked, and his face tightened. His eyes turned red, and he wanted to say something but couldnt. Then, he accepted the box from Yang Dingtian, bowed, and said, Thank you, Brother Yang, for giving me another life. Its a shame..... Yang Dingtian went and helped him up. Zhao Mu raised his head, and after pondering for some time, he clenched his teeth and said, There is no supreme Bloody Black Gold Sword here, but there is a quality Bloody Black Gold Sword, and it has no owner. It was made by my dad dozens of years back, but hed completely failed in cultivating the soul spirit inside the sword, such that the sword spirit turned into a devil and swallowed its owner. Now, it has become ownerless. How is that possible? Yang Dingtian asked in shock. Zhao Mu sighed and said, That is because my dad was too impetuous. Twenty years ago, he discovered a Bloody Black Gold mine that contained 99 pieces. Then, he found the essence of flaming mountain within five years and begged an elite to lend him his Xuan fire. However, the Sea Soul Crystal that is needed to forge the sea of energy of the sword was not found even after he searched for it across the world. He searched through every Sect and every auction house and couldnt find it because it was a treasure of heaven and earth. Year after year passed, and he could no longer wait. So, he thought of another alternative which was to use the demon nucleus of a millennium demonic beast as a substitute. Yang Dingtian knew a little about the use of the supreme demonic nucleus as a substitute for the Sea Soul Crystal, and there were some successful examples throughout history. However, most of the attempts failed because the demon nucleus of the supreme demonic beast was filled with the powerful energy and breath of the demonic beast itself. As soon as it is forced into a sword, there is a high possibility that it will turn mad and swallow its owner. My dad found an ancient millennium demon nucleus in a declining faction. It was a Xuan Fire Kirin that was killed during the Great Nirvana. The demon nucleus was dug out from its corpse and became the treasure of generations. My father wanted to deplete the wealth of our village to buy the demon nucleus, but the other party did not agree. Zhao Mu stopped for a moment, and continued, Then, my father used a disgraceful means to obtain this demon nucleus, which was to give them the Millennium Owl in exchange, but he purposely concealed the strength of the beast and described it as dozens of times weaker than it actually is. So, the faction invited their friends to control this Millennium Owl. There were dozens of elites who all eventually died under its claws.... (TL note: Kirin is known as a mythical hooved chimerical creature of Chinese legends.) After hearing this story, Yang Dingtian felt chills. Dozens of elites had died under the claws of the Millennium Owl that was sealed, and he was all by himself. Finally, my dad got the Millennium five-type demon nucleus and also managed to keep the Millennium Owl. He headed to the Northwest Qin family with the Bloody Black Gold, the essence of flaming mountain, and the supreme fire demon nucleus. He borrowed the Xuan fire of the lord of the Qin family and forged the quality Bloody Black Gold Sword. Zhao Mu sneered and said, My father had lost his mind due to greed. How could the lord of the Qin family allow my father to cultivate the sword soul? How could he possibly allow another Guru-level elite to appear in the western land? The result was obvious. This quality Bloody Black Gold turned out to be a failed product the moment it was forged. Brother Yang, this ownerless quality Bloody Black Gold Sword is in the village, and I can get it for you, Zhao Mu said. But, I need a little time because its not for me to decide, and I need to convince some of the people or even use some tactics. Because this is ultimately an ownerless quality Bloody Black Gold Sword, many in the village have dreamed of owning it. Thank you so much. Yang Dingtian bowed deeply. S?a??h the N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. My father has done many sinful things throughout his life, and it would be a good thing for our Zhao family if we could use this sinful sword to do good, Zhao Mu said. But, I can only do this much for you. As for how to kill this Millennium Owl, I really cant help. Brother Zhao has already done a lot for me, and I, Yang Dingtian, am already very grateful. I am only giving myself hope. I really look forward to the day when I can get justice, Zhao Mu said. ..... Of the two conditions, hed finally managed to fulfill one. Yang Dingtian looked at Zhao Mus back as he left, and his heart filled with infinite gratitude. Never judge a book by its cover. He really didnt expect the young master of Horror Mountain Village to be such a person. Master, can you tell me the second condition to kill the Millennium Owl now? Yang Dingtian asked. What item do I need to completely trap the Millennium Owl? Dongfang Niemie remained silent for a moment and said, Son, you are the most hard-working and also the most determined person that Ive ever met. You have already succeeded by making it this far.... Yang Dingtian was stunned. What was the meaning behind Masters words? Following this, I might have to persuade you to go back to Cloud Sky City and apologize to Yanyan. Then, you need to use the Art of Yin Yang Combination to break through and become a Six-star Xuan Martial Artist. Its not shameful, my son. Youve already tried your very best...., Dongfang Niemie said. Yang Dingtian trembled and asked, What, what does this mean? You cant kill the Millennium Owl, but I know that you will not be satisfied until youve tried your very best, and you have now reached your limit, Dongfang Niemie said. You cant kill the Millennium Owl. Even Guru-level elites cant kill it. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, Master, no matter what, tell me what the second item required to kill the Millennium Owl is. No matter how impossible it is, at least tell me what it is. Deep Sea Xuan Poison..., Dongfang Niemie said slowly. Immediately, Yang Dingtian went quiet. Deep Sea Xuan Poison, the greatest poison in the world! The last treasure that protects the Naga! It is capable of destroying everything, including life, Xuan energy, and sense. The Naga are the strongest in the world and also the most mysterious. No one has met one in thousands of years. Chapter 83: Deep Sea Xuan Poison Chapter 83: Deep Sea Xuan PoisonTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales The Deep Sea Xuan Poison was capable of completely destroying the Millennium Owl and paralyzing it. It would be unable to move with only a single drop. However, it was a questionable method because obtaining this Deep Sea Xuan Poison was impossible. It was the only thing protecting the Naga clan, and who in the world had ever seen a Naga before? Also, the Naga were the most powerful clan in the world. Who would be capable of defeating them? As such, Dongfang Niemie knew that there was no difference whether he disclosed the second item or not. Instantly, Yang Dingtians face turned extremely pale! Hed gone through all that hardship to make it this far and was unwilling to give up now. He walked towards the edge of the slate and looked down to see the gigantic Millennium Owl in the magma. Of course, he could only see one of its eyes. The frightening magma that was capable of melting a person had no effect on it. It was as if it were immersed in a hot spring. Moreover, it looked at Yang Dingtian lazily without reacting like a human looking at an ant beneath its feet. As long as he didnt disturb it, it would definitely ignore Yang Dingtian. At the moment, Yang Dingtian really had the urge to close his eyes and jump down, pulling out a knife and directly stabbing the head of the Millennium Owl. Even if he would be torn into pieces. Xiao Tian, whats wrong with you? Ximen Ningning, who was closely observing Yang Dingtian, asked. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and was suddenly reminded of the Deep Sea Xuan shirt that he was wearing, which he had received from Ningning. He almost couldnt help but ask Ningning about the Deep Sea Xuan Poison, but before he even opened his mouth, he swallowed his words. Undoubtedly, the Deep Sea Xuan Poison was completely different from the Deep Sea Xuan shirt. The Deep Sea Xuan shirt was like skin taken off by the Naga and could be found anywhere in the world. But as for the Deep Sea Xuan Poison, it a Nagas last line of defense and would only be found within its body. S?a??h th? N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Regardless of how mysterious Ningnings identity was, how would it be possible for her to obtain the Deep Sea Xuan Poison? No, you must have something you want to say, so say it, Ningning said firmly. Tell me if you think of me as family. Ningnings gaze was gentle as usual but was also filled with determination. Apart from the quality Blood Black Gold Sword, I still need something to ensure that the Millennium Owl cant move. That is the only way I will be able to kill it, Yang Dingtian said. But, there is almost nothing in the world capable of holding it still. Ningning looked down as well, looking at the Millennium Owl in the magma. Her eyes showed that she was lost in thought. After a moment, she suddenly said, Xiao Tian, there is something that is capable of paralyzing this Millennium Owl. It is the Deep Sea Xuan Poison! Yang Dingtian was shocked. He didnt mention the Deep Sea Xuan Poison because he didnt want her to be bothered by the impossible. But, he never thought that Ningning herself would mention the item. That is the Nagas final line of defense and also the most difficult thing to obtain in the world. A mature Naga is way stronger than a Millennium Owl, Ximen Ningning said. Deep Sea Xuan Poison is really something that cant be found! True, the Deep Sea Xuan Poison was something that was almost unobtainable. It was even more difficult to obtain than the demon nucleus of the Millennium Owl. But Xiao Tian, the fact that God has led you this far means he wouldnt give you a dead end. Ningning looked at Yang Dingtian and said, Getting Deep Sea Xuan Poison is almost an impossible task for anyone else in the world, but theres one exception, and that is... me! Yang Dingtians eyes were wide open, and he looked at Ningning in disbelief. Ningning walked to him and touched his face. She said gently, There are two more days before the Yin Yang Festival. Getting Deep Sea Xuan Poison will take me 8 hours each way. I will leave for a while to get it. Just wait for me here. She was going to get the Deep Sea Xuan Poison? The last protective item of the Naga? How was she going to get it? Where was she going? Yang Dingtian had tons of questions, but he couldnt utter a single word due to shock. There is not much time left, but you must wait for me to come back before taking any action. No matter how critical the situation is, dont take action before I come back, even if you have to give up. Understand? Ningning said gently. Yang Dingtian did not answer. Ningning held his face and said, Xiao Tian, promise me or I wont be able to leave assured. Yang Dingtian said, Sister Ningning, I dont know where you are going to get the Deep Sea Xuan Poison or how you will get it. I wont ask you about all these secrets. But I cant let you go alone. I need to go with you. Yang Dingtians eyes filled with determination. Dummy, you wont be able to come with me. Only I can go, Ningning said gently. Then, I wont agree, Yang Dingtian said. Id rather fail to break through than to risk your life. What Im trying to do is to save and not to destroy. Ningning said, There wont be any danger. Its just that the journey is very long, several dozen thousand kilometers, and there are some special places that Ill have to pass by. Also, Ill be flying most of the time, so there wont be any danger. Yang Dingtian said, I dont believe it. How is it possible that the place that contains Deep Sea Xuan Poison is not dangerous? Its really not dangerous, even less dangerous compared to our journey from the abandoned ore mine to Horror Mountain Village, Ningning said. Its just that there is a little more of a hassle. I have not completed certain tasks yet, so its not the right time for me to go there. Then, she stuck out her tongue and said, Okay, I cant say anymore or else I will end up giving away some of my secrets. Yang Dingtian said, You have already exposed a lot of secrets. Ningning said gently, Once again, I have many secrets, but I cant tell you now or Ill be putting you in great trouble. Okay, time is limited. I need to go quickly and return quickly. After I finish cleaning up, Ill be leaving. After saying that, she took out a box and began to disguise herself again. Yang Dingtian hugged Ningning, smelling the fragrance of her body. No, I dont want to let you go. I dont believe that there is no price for this Deep Sea Xuan Poison, and I dont want you to pay the price for me. Ningning touched Yang Dingtians face and said, Price? I have paid the greatest price by hiding in Cloud Sky City. What other price do I have to pay? Dont worry. For others, even your Master, the strongest person in the world, it would be impossible to obtain the Deep Sea Xuan Poison. But for me, its not difficult at all. But, why cant I go and get the Deep Sea Xuan Poison myself? Why do I have to let you take the risk? Yang Dingtian asked. Aiya... Ningning laughed. Youre so egotistic. You cant even accept a little help from me. Then, she said gently, Xiao Tian, no one in the world can be all by himself. Everyone needs to rely on others. They must not merely share the happiest moments but also their worries and problems. Within a short period of time, Ningning was done disguising and had changed to a completely new face. It was a very delicate face that was as white as white jade. Then, she held Yang Dingtians face, looked at him for a while, and said seriously, Xiao Tian, promise me. Wait till I come back. Only then will you take action. If I havent returned, dont take action no matter how critical the situation is, even if you were to fail. Promise me or I wont be able to leave assured. I promise you. I wont take action unless you return. Good! Ningning said gently as she kissed Yang Dingtians lips. Then, she yelled upwards, Senior Zhao Wujin, please let me go up. Instantly, a wooden cage held by a metal chain was sent down. Ningning walked inside, and Yang Dingtian wanted to follow, but she pushed him a little and said, Dont need to see me off. Ill be back in two days. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, You said before that there wont be any danger. Ningning laughed. This time, there wont be much danger, but in the future, whether it will be dangerous for you, I cant tell. Yang Dingtian looked at the wooden cage as it was pulled up, looking at Ningnings figure that was getting further and further away. Xiao Tian, I will definitely be back in two days. Wait for me, Ningning said. I will. Crack... After the wooden cage reached the surface, the door was shut, and Ningning could no longer be seen. After she left, Yang Dingtian did not do anything but sit on the ground and meditate, waiting. One day passed! There was only one day left until the Yin Yang Festival, which meant that Ningning only had hours to get the Deep Sea Xuan Poison. Ningning said that the place she was going was very far away, several dozen thousand kilometers away. Yang Dingtian had no idea what type of flying beast was capable of flying such a distance twice in two days. But, since Ningning said it, it must be true. In the afternoon, Zhao Mu and Zhao Wujin came to see Yang Dingtian again. Zhao WjJin was holding a long box this time. The box was blue in color and was emanating an icy-cold aura. This was the Xuan Ice Jade box that was frighteningly cold to the extent that even an elite like Zhao Wujin needed to wear gloves to hold it. My fathers quality Bloody Black Gold Sword that swallowed its owner is in here. It needs to be stored in this Xuan Ice box to suppress its violent aura, Zhao Mu said. Ive let uncle Wujin try it before. After taking this sword out of the Xuan Ice box, you cant leave it outside for more than three breaths. Otherwise, the violent sword spirit in it will awaken and destroy whoever is holding the sword. Of course, Zhao Mu hadnt finished talking. The sword spirit inside the sword was extremely powerful. As soon as it reacts, with Yang Dingtians cultivation, he wouldnt last for even half a second. Zhao Wujin opened the Xuan Ice Box, exposing the quality Bloody Black Gold. This sword was extremely arrogant with a forceful aura. And, it was nothing like Ximen Wuya, who was simpler but livelier. This sword is known as Wuji, having the same name as Zhao Wuji. It is three feet long and weighs eighty pounds, Zhao Wujin said. From now on, this sword belongs to you. Chapter 84: The Arrival of Yin Yang Festival Chapter 84: The Arrival of Yin Yang FestivalTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales ... Yang Dingtian spotted a fiery red crystal on the handle of the sword, which had to be a thousand-year-old demon nucleus. At the moment, the entire sword was as black as ink with some cracks along its blade. This crack was caused by several violent attacks by the sword spirit, Zhao Wujin said. Thats why it is impossible to use this sword anymore. As soon as someone holds it, the sword spirit will immediately turn violent and will not only consume the wielder but even the sword itself. As such, you must remember that you have to end it with one strike. Dont hold the sword for longer than three breaths, or you will be killed by the sword spirit. Zhao Wujin emphasized, You must pay attention. Although the Millennium Owls Xuan energy has been sealed, its outer shell is still extremely hard. Even this quality Bloody Black Gold sword might not be able to pierce through it. However, three hundred years ago, it was stabbed and suffered a deep wound at the top of its head. Even though it is fully recovered now, the defensive power around its old injury is not as strong as the rest of it. You must stab it there. Then, Zhao Mu took out a drawing, which depicted the Millennium Owl. It was only now that Yang Dingtian saw what the Millennium Owl looked like in its entirety. Its ugly head was flat and pointy. Its snake-like neck was covered with thorns. Its medium-sized body sported two gigantic wings and also a long tail. The edges of its wings were as sharp as blades. There were countless thorns sprouting along its long tail. Both of its back legs were huge and strong while both of its front legs were thin and long, almost disproportionately so. The four claws on each forelimb were like ten-meter-long sharp blades, appearing very intimidating. Overall, the Millennium Owl was extremely ugly and fierce. Every inch of its body exuded its lethality. This was truly a dark creature borne of bombardment by thousands of lightning bolts. It looked like it came from hell. The wound on its head is located here, at the most central point. Zhao Mu pointed at the Millennium Owl in the drawing. You must remember to strike immediately after you take the sword out, and there wont be a second chance. Of course, everything depends on whether Ms. Ximen Ningning is able to return with the treasure that is able to control this beast. I believe in her, Yang Dingtian said. He then reached out to accept the Xuan Ice Sword Box containing the Bloody Black Gold sword. Put on the gloves. You wont be able to stand the cold, Zhao Mu said immediately. However, Yang Dingtian was already holding the sword box, and his hands instantly started steaming. Sure enough, it weighed over a hundred pounds and was truly ice-cold, even colder than the unfreezing pond. Looking at how Yang Dingtian was fine after taking the Xuan Ice Box, Zhao Mu sighed and said, Truly the most Yang of Xuan Veins. Impressive. Yang Dingtian smiled a little and placed the Xuan Ice Sword box on the ground. The quality Bloody Black Gold Sword needed to slaughter the Millennium Owl has already been obtained. Now, he just needed to wait for Ningning to bring back the Deep Sea Xuan Poison. ..... Its the final day. In five more hours, both moons will completely cover both suns. The once-in-three-hundred-years Yin Yang Festival was about to arrive. It was also time for Yang Dingtian to use the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation to break through. However, Ningning was not back yet. Zhao Mu had already moved most of his people out of Horror Mountain Village. If they failed to kill the Millennium Owl, the beast would destroy the entire village when it powered up and broke through the seal. Yang Dingtian sat on the slate, waiting with his eyes closed and occasionally eying the Millennium Owl beneath him. The Millennium Owl was different today. Previously, although its entire body was immersed in the magma, its eyes above the magma would be wide open. However, today, its eyes were closed as if it were preparing for something. In addition, the entire magma abyss was extremely quiet today without any eruption or surges. In such silence, it was as if the owl was building up an incredibly frightening amount of energy. Both suns have risen, but Ximen Ningning was still not back yet. An hour passed. Both suns were shining brightly, illuminating the entire land. But, Ningning was still not back yet. Two hours later, the sun was slanting eastward, but Ningning was still not back yet. Three hours later... Four hours later.... At the moment, both suns have already risen to their apex, baking the entire earth. The sky was cloudless. Noon, the hottest time of day, had arrived. There was only half an hour left until the eclipse! But, Ningning has yet to return. Although Yang Dingtians eyes were still closed, his body had begun to tremble. His heart was racing. His breathing became uneven. His mind was muddled. Why is Sister Ningning not back yet? Could she be in danger? Or could she not come back? Moreover, he could no longer help but touch the Xuan Ice Sword more and more often. If Ningning still didnt come back, it might be too late. Not only would the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation fail, but the Millennium Owl would also break free from the seal and tear Yang Dingtian into pieces and destroy Horror Mountain Village afterward. Crakk... Suddenly, the secret door above opened. Yang Dingtian opened his eyes excitedly and was about to shout. Brother Yang, its me! The person who came was Zhao Mu. Zhao Wujin carried him on his back and slowly landed on the slate. Brother Zhao Mu, why are you still here? Yang Dingtian asked. Zhao Mu walked to Yang Dingtian and said, We are about to leave now, and we wont be able to make it if we dont leave now. But, you need to follow us. We can ride the flying beast together. I will not leave, Yang Dingtian said. You have to leave. I cant bear to watch you die here, Zhao Mu said. Ms. Ningning wont be able to make it, and it is less than half an hour until the eclipse. Yang Dingtian bit his lips, trembling. She said that shell rush back, so shell definitely be able to make it back. My words might seem plain, but this is what I truly believe. No, its just that youve put in a lot of effort, so you are not willing to give up, Zhao Mu said. As a man, you should be able to let go. So what if you were to miss this Yin Yang Festival? Wont there be another chance? There really wont be, Brother Zhao, Yang Dingtian said. My only chance to break through would be this Yin Yang Festival, and if I were to miss it, Ill have to wait another three hundred years. Id be long dead by then. I dont believe it. You shouldnt either, Zhao Mu said with determination. Have I not lost hope before? After being struck by Dongfang Bingling, I became a cripple and lost all hope in the ensuing years. But your appearance cured me. Since a miracle happened for me, why cant it happen for you? Yang Dingtian said, Brother Zhao, the only miracle that will happen is if Sister Ningning returns. If she makes it back before the eclipse, then a miracle will happen for me. Otherwise, I will completely lose any chance for one. Bullshit, losing this chance will only mean that youll take longer time to become powerful, Zhao Mu said loudly. If you cant beat Dongfang Bingling in five years, then take ten years or even twenty years. I have already been a cripple for five years, and I can still wait one or two years to recover my previous cultivation. Its no big deal. Fighting for your dignity in five years... Could it be that you wont be able to fight for your dignity in ten years? The same goes for Cloud Sky City. Is it not Cloud Sky City anymore if you were to snatch it back in ten or twenty years? Instantly, Yang Dingtian was silent. After a long time, Yang Dingtian slowly said, Brother Zhao, you are correct, and it makes a lot of sense. But I will not leave because I know that as soon I do, I will lose. Zhao Mu was so angry that he ended up laughing. Let me ask you. What is the point of you staying here if Ximen Ningning doesnt come back? Can you kill the Millennium Owl? I cant, Yang Dingtian said. Instead, you two should leave, or you wont be able to escape the Millennium Owl. As soon as it goes mad, the area within hundreds of miles would turn into a graveyard. Sure enough, we will be leaving. Zhao Mu turned around. But you have to leave as well. Im not going to argue with you. You have already gone insane, and I cant bear to watch you die like this. Uncle, bring him along forcefully. Yang Dingtian pulled out his dagger and placed it against his own neck. I have no suicidal thoughts. I merely want to express my determination, my unshakable determination. Zhao Mu clenched his teeth and was about to order Zhao Wujin to forcefully bring Yang Dingtian along. Fine, Zhao Wujin said. He is probably fated to take this risk. If he cant pass this stage, then it means that he is not the chosen one. Let him be. Yang Dingtian put down his dagger and bowed. Thank you, Senior. Boom... Suddenly, the earth vibrated, and the magma sea tens of thousands of meters below roiled. The time has come. We need to leave now, Zhao Wujin said. Zhao Mu was torn as he looked at Yang Dingtian. Take care. S?a??h the N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Then, he jumped on Zhao Wujins back, and the two of them rushed out the rock door, disappearing above. Yang Dingtian calmed down, closed his eyes, and breathed calmly, waiting for the final moment. Boom... Another explosion. There were waves in the magma sea, and the Millennium Owl had opened its eyes. Its huge eyes were excited and dumbfounded at the same time. It slowly floated out of the magma sea. At this moment, two globes of darkness gradually began to cover the two bright suns in the blue sky. They moved slowly, gradually covering the brightness. The Eclipse had arrived. Both moons were about to cover both suns. The entire earth gradually became darker inch by inch. Everyone on the Chaotic Mainland was observing the eclipse while kneeling on the ground, waiting for the most mysterious, frightening, and holy period in 300 years to arrive. All of the demonic beasts in the Chaotic Mainland knelt down and curled up, hiding in the safest part of their caves, waiting for the arrival of the scariest moment. Only this dark creature was moving and moving furiously at that. This was because the most exciting moment for it in the last three hundred years had arrived as its energy would increase ten folds. Even if it gains merely an hour of strength in exchange for a year of weakness, it would be more than willing. Both moons gradually covered both suns, and the entire earth was enveloped by darkness. In the magma sea beneath, the Millennium Owl slowly stood up, and its body was over a hundred meters tall. It was even scarier than the drawing, even fiercer, even more bloodthirsty, and even uglier. Humans, you want to kill me? Suddenly, a shocking voice rang out of the abyss, and it had come from the mouth of the Millennium Owl. Chapter 85: The Returning of Ning Ning! Kill…. Chapter 85: The Returning of Ning Ning! Kill....Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian was slightly shocked, but it also wasnt too shocking as the Millennium Owl is known for being able to assume a human form and speak their language. Of course, such a beast was not only pursued for its strong Xuan energy but also for its huge and strong body that could assume a human form. The millennial owl spoke again, I know youre waiting your woman to come back, waiting for her to come back with Deep Sea Xuan Poison. This time, Yang Dingtian was completely shocked. How did it know? Its Xuan energy had been sealed, so he assumed it couldnt hear the conversation between himself and Ningning. How did it know? Ningnings original plan was to wrap the Deep Sea Xuan Poison in a delicious Pill. They would confirm that the millennial owl ate the pill so that it would be poisoned and paralyzed. However, now that it knows their plan, it will definitely not eat anything they threw. What to do? What was the point of Ningning bringing back the Deep Sea Xuan Poison now? You really should have left just now. That would have saved your life, the Millennium Owl said slowly. Now, even if you want to escape, you will fail. Youve no way to even reach the ground, so you just wait for death to come. Youll be my first delicious meal in three hundred years. Youve extremely high-level Yang-nature Xuan Veins, which is definitely a very good supplement for me. If youre thinking about the offal in Horror Mountain Village, dont worry. I wont let any of them go free. Ill tear them into pieces one by one and trample them into meat puree after I get out. As for your woman, Ill eat her delicate meat slowly. Just wait for it, wait for it... The beast then slowly rose, its huge hundred-meter-tall body emerging from the blood-red magma little by little. Just wait for it, just wait for it, for the moment the two moons cover the two suns. Ill become extremely powerful and be able to destroy the world. Ill tear you into pieces, and I will be free... Im going to be free soon... Im going to be free soon... The Millennium Owl was emerging from the red magma meter by meter. Its sound was getting louder and louder, and finally, it became completely deafening. Outside, the two suns were swallowed by the darkness. More than half of both suns were now covered. The final moment was coming soon. Despicable humans, your deaths are coming soon... Hahahahaha... The incomparably huge abyss cave was shaken by the laughter of the Millennium Owl. The whole earth was shaking. The surrounding rock walls were shattered into pieces. The huge magma sea was surging up violently, and the red-blood magma splashed hundreds of meters high. The final moment, the moment of destruction, was coming. ****** Boom! Suddenly, the rock door gear overhead was slammed. A flying beast rushed towards Yang Dingtian, atop which a superb body figure sat. Ningning was back. She had come back at the very last moment. Her face was full of anxiety and sorrow. Her gentle moist eyes were bloodshot and looked a little bit sunken in. Sister Ningning. Yang Dingtian stood up. Little Tian, Im back. Ive made it back before the complete solar eclipse. Ningning didnt have time to wait for the flying beast to stop and jumped directly towards Yang Dingtian. However, her weak body was limp, and she fell freely. Yang Dingtian quickly stepped forward and caught her in his arms. Her whole body was very cold and shivering as if it had lost all of its energy. I would have come back anyway. I was almost frightened to death. I was really scared. I really thought that I wouldnt make it in time... Ningning was crying softly. After crying for a few seconds, she anxiously said, The Deep Sea Xuan Poison is in my sleeve. I have already wrapped it in a Beast Aura Pill, but Ive no energy to take it out. You quickly take it out and throw it to the Millennium Owl. It will pounce on it and eat it. Yang Dingtian reached into her sleeve, took out a white jade box, and opened it. Inside it was a crystal clear pill, a Beast Aura Pill, the pill loved by all demonic beasts. Looking at the pill, Yang Dingtian sighed and said, Sister, the beast already knows that were going to give it Deep Sea Xuan Poison. It will never eat this. Ximen Ningnings body trembled. Stunned, she asked with her eyes wide open, Really? How does it know? How can I not know? The Millennium Owl laughed loudly. Little girl, you still came back in the end, but whats the point? Its just a dead end. I wont eat your poisoned pill, but I will eat the two of you! Hahahaha... After a burst of laughter, the Millennium Owl ferociously rushed out from the magma, completely revealing its huge body. There were still two incomparably thick Xuan Ice Cold Chains tied to its hind legs. The Millennium Owl was so fierce, so ugly, so aggressive, and so horrible. Its tremendous size was larger than a football field. Im going to be free soon. Im going to be free soon. Your deaths are here... The owl shouted over and over again. Its movements were becoming crazier and crazier as it desperately slammed into the stone walls and the magma. At the moment, the entire cave was shaking, and hundreds of pounds of boulders were crushed and falling into the magma. The magma splashed up several thousand meters and almost hit Yang Dingtian and Ximen Ningning. Free, I want to be free... Suddenly, a ray of light began to condense above the Millennium Owl, causing it to become brighter and bigger. S~?a??h the ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Then, the whole earth began to tremble. Its energy is going to skyrocket by a factor of ten. Its going to break the seals! Yang Dingtian said. Immediately, Ningning took out the Beast Aura Pill containing the Deep Sea Xuan Poison and held it in her hands with eyes closed. Her mouth was silently reciting a mysterious incantation. Immediately, the pill violently exploded and vanished instantly, leaving only the Deep Sea Xuan Poison. The Deep Sea Xuan Poison was a green liquid, but it was alive. It seemed like a snake that was swimming wildly. It was arrogant and uneasy, desperately trying to escape. Sister Ningning, what are you doing? Yang Dingtian asked. Ningning was still reciting the mysterious incantation, and her speed was getting faster and faster. Ten thousand meters below, the light above the Millennium Owl was getting stronger and stronger, and eventually, it became as dazzling as the sun. The entire cave was shaking violently. The ground cracked inch by inch, and the magma sea was erupting in thousand-meter-tall waves. The incomparably strong rock walls began to crack completely. A semicircular energy hood appeared around the body of the Millennium Owl. The energy hood was purple and measured a thousand meters across. This was the energy hood that completely sealed the Xuan energy of the Millennium Owl and stopped it from escaping. It was unable to break past it. But as time passed, the light above the Millennium Owl got brighter and brighter and became longer and longer. Eventually, the light became completely dark and had the form of a huge black sword, fiercely stabbing at the energy hood. Bang There was a loud bang as a fissure a few meters wide and a thousand meters long cracked along the walls. At the same time, the purple energy hood had faded by a third. The huge dark energy sword would cleave through the entire energy hood after three strikes in total. Furthermore, the thick Xuan Ice Cold Chains on the Millennium Owls feet were gradually starting to turn red and melting. It would soon break free from the seal. Once the two moons completely cover the two suns for the complete solar eclipse, the Millennium Owls energy would have reached its maximum. At that time, it would break free completely and melt the entire chain. If that happened, the timing needed to use the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation would have passed. Yang Dingtian and Ximen Ningning would be shredded by the Millennium Owl. At the moment, Ningnings jade hands were lifted up high, and the pitch of her voice as she was reciting the incantation was getting higher and higher. Yang Dingtian had no idea what language she was speaking. There was a green glow on her body that was getting brighter and brighter, and the Deep Sea Xuan Poison between her hands was surging even more crazily. Hu... The Deep Sea Xuan Poison suddenly turned into a green flame. Meanwhile, the huge dark energy sword above the Millennium Owl cut at the huge purple energy hood a second time. Boom... The sky shook and overturned. The ground cracked and crumbled. The magma surged turbulently. Go..., Ningning shouted weakly. Immediately, the Deep Sea Xuan Poison flame in her palms suddenly assumed a human form, beautiful and unique. Its almost perfect form shot like a lightning bolt towards the Millennium Owl. It was amazing and gorgeous, flying swiftly through the air. Then, it drilled into the back of the Millennium Owl. No... The Millennium Owl screamed fiercely. Its voice was full of unwillingness and fear. No... No... Its cries almost caused Yang Dingtians eardrums to bleed and the entire cave to break. Then, the Millennium Owls entire body seemed to solidify and freeze. It quickly solidified inch by inch, foot by foot. Everywhere the Deep Sea Xuan Poison passed, the owls fiery-red body would instantly turn an eerie green. This was the mysterious Deep Sea Xuan Poison. Even a millennium beast will instantly become paralyzed and petrified. The terrible green was moving up quickly from the Millennium Owls tail to its back and then to its neck and head. Quick, go and kill it quickly or it will soon be killed by the Deep Sea Xuan Poison. Then, the demon nucleus wont be usable anymore, Ningning said. At this time, Ningnings entire body was exuding green smoke. Yang Dingtian was shocked and asked, Sister Ningning, what happened to you? Dont worry about me. Go quickly. I will take a break here. Ningning pushed Yang Dingtian away as she said that. Looking down at the Millennium Owl that had been completely paralyzed, he saw that the green flame had already reached the top of its head and would soon reach the demon nucleus. At this point, there were less than five minutes before the complete solar eclipse. Yang Dingtian opened the Xuan Ice Sword Box and grabbed the quality Bloody Black Gold sword. He then leaped down to the Millennium Owl. Holding the sword, he aimed at the old wound on its head and slammed down. Kill, kill... ****** Chapter 86: Death of The Millennium Owl Chapter 86: Death of The Millennium OwlTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Kill... Yang Dingtian let out a loud scream as he rushed down, ignoring the boulders and rocks that were falling, ignoring the surging magma below. He fell three thousand meters. Five thousand meters. Eight thousand meters. Pop... Yang Dingtians body fell on the top of the Millennium Owl and his quality Bloody Black Gold Sword stabbed fiercely into its wound. Hiss... The Millennium Owl that had already been petrified by the Deep Sea Xuan poison immediately yelled a long, sharp, and depressed scream. The Millennium Owl was in extreme pain. It wanted to struggle fiercely, but it couldnt move. Its huge, fiery eyes trembled strongly. It tried to keep its eyes open, but eventually, they still closed slowly. There were only less than five minutes before the total eclipse. Meanwhile, his quality Bloody Black Gold Sword only had less than half a minute before the wild soul spirit inside awoke. Therefore, Yang Dingtian quickly cut at the top of the Millennium Owls head using his sharp sword, wanting to dig out its demon nucleus as quickly as possible. Little Tian, run. Dont care about the demon nucleus anymore. Quickly, run... Ningning suddenly exclaimed in panic. Yang Dingtian looked down and found that the Millennium Owls huge eyes that had been closed were now opened to its widest. There was no color in its eyeballs but bloody red. The situation had taken a turn for the worse as the Millennium Owls body that had been petrified by Deep Sea Xuan poison had suddenly completely recovered. We need to go now. This Millennium Owl wants to bring us down with it! It severed its own veins and forcibly destroyed the poison. After Ningning yelled, she jumped down a thousand meters from the floating slate. Sister Ningning, dont! Yang Dingtian yelled. Boom... At the same time, the huge body of the Millennium Owl split, revealing black and red flesh and blood. Then, countless flames rushed out from the cracks, making the Millennium Owl look exactly like a huge fiery monster that came from hell. Ningnings body fell fast, and Yang Dingtian quickly reached out and hurriedly grabbed her. Both of them clung to the back of the Millennium Owl. Bang... A loud bang resounded. The Millennium Owls body was now burning. It leaped violently and ignited its Xuan veins and Sea of Energy to increase its strength by several times, directly smashing the Xuan Ice Chains that sealed its legs. Then, its huge body flew up into the sky. Boom... The Millennium Owl smashed the super hard rock wall into pieces with a great bang. It shot through the big hole and flew into the sky. Yang Dingtian and Ximen Ningning had to cling to its huge head. Want to kill me? Lets die together... The Millennium Owl screamed loudly, and the sound seemed to burn their ears. Then, it fanned its huge wings and flew through the air. It aimed at Horror Mountain Village below and spat out a huge bolt of lightning. Boom... The huge blue lightning bolt struck the ground and buildings. Immediately, the hundred-meter-tall buildings were shattered, and the entire ground filled with deep cracks. An area several hundred meters across was burned to a crisp. The power of the Millennium Owl was so astonishing. Boom... Another huge lightning bolt shot forth. Immediately, a few dozen acres of forest became a pile of ash. Boom... Again, another lightning bolt descended, instantly drying up a huge pond. At the same time, the two moons had already covered most of the two suns. The solar eclipse was about to start soon, and the last chance to use the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation will soon pass. Solar Eclipse started! The heaven and earth were already dark, and the stars were visible and shining brightly in the sky. Although it was daytime, it looked like the dark night. Only the Millennium Owl was luminescent within many miles due to its huge, burning body. The Millennium Owl had completely lost its consciousness. It had lost its mind and even forgot about Yang Dingtian and Ximen Ningning, who were still lying on its head. It was now just madly slaughtering and spitting out lightning. It destroyed everything on the ground and frantically vented its anger and hatred at its imprisonment for the past three hundred years. Yang Dingtian grabbed his quality Bloody Black Gold Sword and desperately cut at the Millennium Owls head, trying to extract the demon nucleus. However, after the owls transformation, its skull became extremely hard. The sword couldnt pierce it even when Yang Dingtian used all of his energy. The cracks on the beasts huge body were getting deeper and deeper and became more and more numerous. The fire burning its body was getting more and more intense until finally, the entire body was aflame. The fire was spreading quickly to the top of its head, getting closer to where Yang Dingtian and Ximen Ningning hid. Boom... The Millennium Owl was spitting out thicker and thicker lightning bolts at the ground. Before long, the entire Horror Mountain Village had turned into powder, and the ground was all burned. The few square kilometers of ground that made up the bustling and dense Horror Mountain turned into ruins due to the fire. Roar...Hiss... At the same time, the quality Bloody Black Gold Sword in Yang Dingtians hand suddenly became hot, and a huge force shuddered through him. The insane soul spirit inside the sword had begun to wake up. Immediately, it screamed insanely in a very loud voice. The sword then began to tremble madly and splitting inch by inch. Boom... Suddenly, the quality Bloody Black Gold Sword was also burning fiercely. Run. Lets go! Ningning said loudly. The Xuan fire of Millennium Owl will soon burn us, and your Bloody Black Gold Sword is going to wake and go insane soon. We will be killed! At the moment, the two moons had covered ninety-five percent of the two suns. There were only a few moments left to use the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation before the solar eclipse ended. The last opportunity was going to be pass soon! Little Tian, run or we will both die. The Xuan fire burning the Millennium Owl had already spread to its neck. It was only a dozen meters away from Yang Dingtian. He could already feel the terrible heat. It was made even worse by the Bloody Black Gold Sword that had gone mad. It was shooting horrible rays and seemed like it was going to swallow someone. The Millennium Owl was completely insane at this point. It instinctively flew around Horror Mountain Village, madly destroying the environment. The place was now completely ruined. Little Tian, run, run away..., Ningning shouted while hugging Yang Dingtian. She then hugged Yang Dingtian even harder, intending to jump down with him. No, Ningning, this is my last chance. I cant give up. You go first..., Yang Dingtian shouted. Its too late. Its too late..., Ningning said. The fire is approaching us rapidly, and the sword is about to explode. We cant even extract the demon nucleus. The Millennium Owl is also going to detonate its Sea of Energy, which obliterate the demon nucleus. Everything is too late. The solar eclipse is coming soon, and weve run out of time to form the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation even if you get its demon nucleus. Yang Dingtian can feel that time slipping away second by second, and his last chance was fading. She was right. It was too late to place the Yin Yang Five-element Formation, and he couldnt get the electric demon nucleus anyway. Whats worse was that his Bloody Black Gold Sword couldnt be touched anymore, or he would be killed by the backlash. He stood up and looked around the village that had become a ruin beneath them. It was exactly a five-pointed star. He screamed in surprise, I know what to do now. I know what to do now. Ningning hurriedly said, Little Tian, what are you saying? God hadnt abandoned me, Yang Dingtian said. I will form the formation right now. Yang Dingtian took out four demon nuclei from his sleeves. The Millennium Owl kept flying rapidly around Horror Mountain Village. According to the map from Ningning a few days back, the entirety of Horror Mountain Village was exactly a Yin Yang Five-Element Formation. At the moment, they were above the corner where the Gold-type nucleus should be placed. Go... Yang Dingtian roared and threw the Gold-type demon nucleus. The Gold-type demon nucleus turned into a white ray that shot forward and hovered over its corner in the five-pointed star. The Millennium Owl continued flying around Horror Mountain Village. Also, it continued to spit lighting and destroy everything on the ground. The fire on its back was so close to Yang Dingtian that it was only eight meters away. The Bloody Black Gold Sword had also reached its brightest. At the moment, there was less than one minute before the solar eclipse! Ice-type nucleus, go! Yang Dingtian threw out the Ice-type demon nucleus when he passed through the sky above its corner. After the ice-type demon nucleus flew out a dozen meters, it also stopped above its corner and floated in the air. S~?a??h the N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. ... The Fire-type nucleus, go! When passing the sky above the fire corner, Yang Dingtian threw out the fire-type demon nucleus. ... Boom... At this time, the raging fire had already burned to the Millennium Owls back. The Bloody Black Gold Sword was trembling, emitting whistle sounds, and also fiercely spurting out flames. There was only half a minute until the solar eclipse. Wind-type nucleus, go... Yang Dingtian aimed at the fourth corner of the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation and threw out the wind-type demon nucleus. At the moment, the raging Xuan fire was already burning Yang Dingtians clothes, but fortunately, he had the Deep Sea Xuan Clothes on him. Otherwise, the Xuan fire would have torn his body apart and incinerated his bones in a second. Jump... Yang Dingtian held Ningning and shoved off from the top of the Millennium Owl. Chirp... A flying demon risked its life and flew rapidly to catch the two of them. Now, the two moons had covered ninety-nine percent of the two suns. The final moment had finally arrived. Roar... The Millennium Owl that had been completely transformed into a fireball burst into numerous flames in the sky. It still flew around and frantically spat out lightning. Its Sea of Energy was about to detonate, and it would soon explode. Suddenly, the Millennium Owl turned its head and looked at Yang Dingtian. Lets die together. Lets die together! Then, the Millennium Owl opened its huge mouth and gathered its final lightning attack. Then, the Griffin that they were riding flew to the center of Horror Mountain Village, to the Burial Tower. Only the Burial Tower had stayed in perfect condition because the Millennium Owl hated it the most. It wanted to destroy the Burial Tower along with Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian jumped off the Griffin and landed on the top of the Burial Tower. Then, he sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and pinched his hands. The Great Art of Yin Yang Five-Element Formation! Suddenly, a wonderful and mysterious chant emanated from Yang Dingtians mouth. It was like the sound of heaven yet also the sound of thunder. It was like a whirlpool yet also a tsunami. Whooshing! The gold-type demon nucleus shone brightly with a golden color. Whooshing! The ice-type demon nucleus shone brightly with a pure white color. Whooshing! The fire-type demon nucleus shone brightly with a bloody-red color. Whooshing! The wind-type demon nucleus shone brightly with a colorless light. Lets die together. The last lightning attack of the Millennium Owl would soon be erupting. At the same time, it flew to the fifth corner, the corner belonging to an electric-type nucleus. Then, its movement instantly froze as if it was held in place by an incomparably powerful energy. Whooshing... Then, a ray of light emerged from the top of the Millennium Owl. It was electric blue and emanated from the electric-type nucleus in its head. Boom... The raging Millennium Owl burst open, its incomparably huge body disintegrating and turning into countless motes of flame falling from the sky. Now, both moons had covered both suns completely. One hundred percent! The Yin Yang Festival had officially started! ****** Chapter 87: Continuous Breakthrough! Chapter 87: Continuous Breakthrough!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales I cannot accept this. I cannot accept this... The Millennium Owl crazily struggled and screamed frantically. Its body had suddenly dispersed and scattered into ashes and smoke. Only the crystal-clear demon nucleus protected by the electric-blue light avoided destruction. Boom! The world began to tremble, and the sky shuddered. At the moment, the Xuan energy reaching the ground from both moons and both suns had reached the perfect balance. Yang energy reached the ground from both suns, and Yin energy reached the ground from both moons. The perfect fusion of both energies created the purest, most perfect Xuan energy. It was without any attributes or impurities and could be completely absorbed by any martial artist without any complex refining process. Right now, all the martial artists in the world had closed their eyes and were practicing pranayama. They were chanting rapidly to absorb the purest and most perfect Xuan energy between heaven and earth in three hundred years. Everything in the world, including the beasts, was also greedily swallowing the mighty Xuan energy. The powerful and pure Xuan energy was like the sun, shining everywhere and covering every corner of the Chaotic Mainland. However, all of the Xuan energy within dozens of miles around Horror Mountain Village where Yang Dingtian was located was drawn in by the Yin Yang Five-Elements Formation and infused into the five demon nuclei. The Xuan energy then condensed into a very strong, incomparably pure, absolutely perfect energy that shot directly to the ground from above the Yin Yang Five-Elements Formation. Boom... An incomparably powerful energy slammed into Yang Dingtians every pore. Only the fire burns the heart. Only the ice seals the heart. Only the wind tempts the heart. Only the electric splits the heart. Only the gold fortifies the heart... Yang Dingtian was chanting louder and louder, and eventually, it sounded exactly like a thunderstorm. It seemed like there were countless people chanting together. Vast amounts of the purest Xuan energy poured into his body. Immediately, he felt like a dry river into which spring water was pouring, filling up countless streams in an instant and then merging into the river. When the river was full, the overflow went into his Sea of Energy. Ah... so comfortable... Yang Dingtians Xuan veins were extremely hungry, as was his Sea of Energy. Xuan energy was frantically irrigating his entire body, creating a wonderful feeling within. He was like someone who had walked in the desert for a few days, dying of thirst. Now, he had jumped directly into a sweet pond. He was like someone who was freezing who was suddenly exposed to the sun. Large amounts of pure Xuan energy flowed endlessly through all parts of his body into his veins and eventually all gathered into his Sea of Energy. Although his Sea of Energy seemed to be bottomless, the Xuan energy within had actually been compressed and condensed to 100 times its previous density. Even with his Xuan energy being compressed, the flow was still too heavy. Without much time passing, the seemingly bottomless Sea of Energy was soon full. However, endless amounts of Xuan energy still continuously flowed into his body. Yang Dingtian felt his body expanding, almost as if it were about to burst. At the moment, Ningning was still riding on the flying beast. She saw Yang Dingtians body begin to ooze a golden aura. It started with a trace and then got thicker and thicker, denser and denser. S~?a??h the ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Xuan energy continued to flow through the streams, through the rivers and finally all into his Sea of Energy. At the moment, Yang Dingtians body seemed to be about to explode. Suddenly, countless veins in Yang Dingtians body began to shuffle the energy strangely, just like the flow of Xuan energy when he practiced the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. The direction and speed of the flow were ever-changing. Eventually, all of the Xuan energy flowing into Yang Dingtians body began to follow this incomprehensible and mysterious route. His Sea of Energy had already been stretched to the limit. Boom... Suddenly, his stomach seemed to burst open. Golden light flashed, and everything in Yang Dingtians body fell into a short period of motionlessness. Yang Dingtian broke through... Immediately, the space of his Sea of energy that was full just a second ago increased by a level. What was just full instantly became empty, followed by another wave of limitless Xuan energy pouring in, plunging through the streams, strengthening the river, and finally filling the Sea of Energy once more. Then, his Xuan veins again drove the Xuan energy through the mysterious and complicated route, using the same flow he used when practicing the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. Then, his Sea of energy once again began to expand... Soon, his Sea of Energy reached the limit again. Boom... Inside his Sea of Energy, white light burst. Yang Dingtians body fell into a void for a short time again. He broke through again. It took a few months for others to break through after their first, but for Yang Dingtian, he was facing the next breakthrough after only a moment. Boom... Boom... Boom... He didnt know how many times his Sea of Energy expanded, and he had no idea how many times the white light enveloped him. Thus, he didnt know how many times he broke through. If his master, Dongfang Niemie, hadnt already cleaned his veins, Yang Dingtians veins would have already collapsed, and his Sea of Energy would have already exploded. ... Ningning couldnt see Yang Dingtian from the sky because he was completely enveloped in the rays of light. The perfect Xuan energy within a hundred miles was absorbed by the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation and then injected like a beam of light into Yang Dingtian. The beast under Ningning suddenly screamed in horror and quickly flew away from the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation. It could vividly feel the formations suction force swallowing all of the Xuan energy around, including the Xuan energy inside its body. Looking from afar, there was a beam of light connecting Yang Dingtian to the heavens. At the same time, the Yin and Yang combination of two moons and two suns that occurred every three hundred years was gradually separating. The dark sky began to recover a little bit of light, and the Xuan energy between heaven and earth also thinned a little bit, becoming a little bit imperfect and impure. Three minutes passed. Five minutes passed. Ten minutes passed. Fifteen minutes passed. In the end, the two suns moved completely past the two moons. In an instant, the entire sky was completely restored, and the two moons disappeared without a trace. The suns continued shining, and the whole world was bright again. The tri-centennial solar eclipse was now over. The voracious swallowing of Xuan energy by Yang Dingtian ceased, and the light around his body also gradually dispersed. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom... Gold-type, ice-type, wind-type, and fire-type, these four types of demon nuclei disintegrated, vanishing like ashes and smoke. ... Ningning urged her riding beast to quickly fly over to Yang Dingtian. At the moment, he hadnt woken yet. His eyes were still closed, and his breathing was steady. Although Ningning was very weak at the moment, she still sat next to Yang Dingtian to guard him. Five minutes, ten minutes, half an hour passed... Yang Dingtian still hadnt opened his eyes. There had just been such a huge phenomenon here, which would definitely attract the attention of many people. It would be very dangerous if someone came right now because it would be quite difficult for Ningning to protect Yang Dingtian on her own. She had to get help in order to protect him. So, Ningning waved to the flying beast and whispered in its ear when it flew to her. The flying beast then nodded and flew towards the Northeast. Half an hour later, a few black shadows appeared on the horizon. The black shadows quickly got closer and closer. There were dozens of beasts of varying levels, strong and weak. After entering the ruins of Horror Mountain Village, they took the initiative to sit around the Burial Tower to protect Yang Dingtian. Within the next hour, another few dozen beasts arrived and took up positions around the Burial Tower. At the moment, Ximen Ningning felt a bit relieved. With a lot of beasts here, even if a strong enemy came, they should be able to hold him off for a while. Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in the sky. This was a huge flying beast with someone standing on it. Ningnings eyes widened, and she went on high alert. At the same time, the hundreds of beasts sitting around the corner were also tense, staring towards the shadow and hissing fiercely. The black shadow got closer and closer and finally hovered over Horror Mountain Village. Whooshing... A dozen flying beasts rushed into the sky while hissing fiercely, ferociously staring at the enemy and ready to attack the flying beast and the people on it. Hold on, were on the same side. After Ningning got a clear look at the people riding the flying beast, she sighed in relief and communicated with the beasts using words that other people could not understand. Suddenly, the beasts that were ferocious a second ago quieted down, and the dozen flying beasts immediately stopped their attacks. It was Zhao Mu and Zhao Wujin. They saw the ridiculous scene of the heavens falling and the earth bending, the radiant light that was visible from a few hundred miles away. They immediately knew that things had gone wrong. Their hearts filled with dread as they knew the beast had broken free from the seal and was destroying everything around it. They firmly believed that Yang Dingtian was definitely no longer alive. However, they still risked the danger to come check on him after detecting things returning to normal. Brother Yang. Zhan Mu felt like laughing after seeing Yang Dingtian sitting in pranayama at the top of the tower. His beast stopped above the Burial Tower. Zhao Mu jumped down, and Zhao Wujin followed behind him. Zhao Wujin looked at Yang Dingtian, who was currently meditating with his eyes closed. After gazing for a few moments, he muttered to himself, Its Gods will. Its definitely Gods will. Its so fascinating. He actually did it. Incredible, incredible! Zhao Mu said, Did Brother Yang really succeed? Ms. Ximen, fortunately, you made it back in time. But how did he do it? Can you please tell us what happened? Ximen Ningning didnt know how to answer him because this touched on some of her secrets as well. But Zhao Mu was indeed a good person, and she and Yang Dingtian owed him a lot. Yang Dingtian has succeeded, Zhao Mu. He will find a way to get even for you in the future. Zhao Wujin then said, The only thing we need to know is how many breakthroughs hes achieved. I couldnt begin to guess. A normal person is likely to gain three to four levels when they first practice their Martial Arts secret scroll. I believe Yang Dingtian has gone far beyond this number. Its perhaps even possible for him to have broken through more than ten times. Ningning felt her mouth dry. She looked at Yang Dingtian with anxiety. Although it was already shocking enough to break through ten levels one shot, for Yang Dingtian, he needed to break through to become at least a Six-star Xuan Martial Artist to avoid losing in the Big Elimination Battle tomorrow. Otherwise, he would be expelled from Cloud Sky City. Little Tian, I believed that you could do it. Of course you can break through to become a Six-star Xuan Martial Artist! (Note: The first few levels of the Martial artists are: Enlightener > Novice Martial Artist > Xuan Martial Artist > Xuan Warrior > Xuan Instructor.) ****** Chapter 88: How Many Levels of Breakthrough? Weapons of God Chapter 88: How Many Levels of Breakthrough? Weapons of GodTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Seeing that Yang Dingtian was still meditating with eyes closed, Zhao Wujin said, What happened here in Horror Mountain Village just now will definitely alarm people within a few hundred miles. There will definitely be many people who have noticed it. Somebody will come soon. We must immediately move Yang Dingtian to another place. Ningning said, Thank you, Senior Zhao, but Yang Dingtian is forging his energy now. He cant move. Dont worry, he doesnt have to move, Zhao Wujin said. He then walked up and used a powerful Xuan energy to lift him up without touching him. Yang Dingtians body was now floating in midair without any shaking or swaying. Zhao Wujin guided the floating Yang Dingtian into the Burial Tower. When he reached the center of the hundred-meter-tall structure, he held Yang Dingtian still with only one hand while using his other hand to slowly lift and open a huge, empty coffin. Sorry for the offense, Zhao Wujin whispered. He then lifted his left hand and slowly transferred Yang Dingtian into the coffin. The coffin was huge and was thus spacious enough to fit the young man. Zhao Wujin then closed the coffin. Whooshing... Zhao Wujin stabbed at the coffin a few times to open up several holes. Now, even if someone came, nobody would find him. Senior, when will Yang Dingtian wake up? Ningning was a little bit anxious because the ten-day promise between Ximen Yanyan and Yang Dingtian only had a few hours left. Even if Yang Dingtian woke up right now and immediately rushed back to Cloud Sky City, he would just barely make it in time. Ive no idea. He is absorbing the forged Xuan energy into his bodys Xuan veins and bones so that his body can support the relative level of Xuan energy. Perhaps a few hours or even longer because he broke through too many levels in one shot, Zhao Wujin said. Ms. Ximen, you look pale. I think you should also sit down and meditate. Thank you, senior, Ningning replied. Here, I will thank Horror Mountain Village on his behalf. Thank you for the help and support. Not only did you give him the Millennium Owl, but you also lent him the quality Bloody Black Gold Sword. Its fine. Yang Dingtian will pay back this favor someday. Its not a big deal. Zhao Wujin laughed slightly, but his laugh sounded like metal scraping over a wall. Uncle, what is this? Suddenly, Zhao Mu pointed at something on the ground. In the ruins left by the Millennium Owl, there was a three-foot-long thing that looked like the combination of a sword and knife. It was black tinged with a little bit of red and blue. It also had a hilt made up of a mix of red and blue crystals. It was a strange blade. Zhao Mu jumped down and walked towards the object. Ahhh... There was a sudden powerful force that emerged right after his finger touched it, smacking him back more than ten meters. He then spat out blood from his mouth. Dont touch it. Let me do this, Zhao Wujin said. Then, he jumped off the Burial Tower and condensed a powerful Xuan energy with which he picked up the strange blade. He was using Xuan energy to hold it instead of touching it directly. S?a??h th? N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Immediately, the strange blade made a strange noise and trembled frantically while emitting a powerful force, desperately trying to struggle free of Zhao Wujins hold. Zhao Wujin clenched his teeth, and his face distorted. He was sweating like rain as he used all of his strength to try to control the strange blade. After struggling for three minutes, Zhao Wujin loosened his hand, and immediately, the strange blade flew out a dozen meters away. The strange blade stabbed into the ground fiercely, leaving only its hilt trembling. This is so overbearing, Zhao Wujin said. Zhao Mu was stunned. This strange blade is so powerful. It must be a weapon of God. But since when did we have such a treasure in Horror Mountain Village? This thing is from Horror Mountain Village but doesnt belong to it, Zhao Wujin said. This is a combination of four items. The first is the quality Bloody Black Gold Sword. However, the blade has already disintegrated, completely ruined except for the demon nucleus containing the tyrannical sword spirit. The Millennium Owl is also gone, but before dying, it stored its soul into its own electric demon nucleus. These two demon nuclei are too powerful and wont easily concede to the other. So, when Yang Dingtian finished his formation, both of the demon nuclei collided fiercely, each attempting to destroy the other. But who would have thought that instead of killing each other, they welded together instead? The two soul spirits violently merged and are now continuing to fight frantically. So, the red and blue crystal is the fusion of the Xuan Fire Kirins Fire-type demon nucleus and the Millennium Owls Electric-type demon nucleus? Zhao Mu asked. Zhao Wujin nodded. Then, whats happening to the strange blade? Zhao Mu asked. The Millennium Owl has completely disintegrated. However, its right claw was entangled with the Xuan Ice Iron Chain. Therefore, even the Xuan fire could not completely burn its right claw into ashes. The fire only welded the claw with the Xuan Ice Iron Chain to form this strange blade. Zhao Wujin continued, If youre asking why the crystal formed from the two demon nuclei are at the bottom of the strange blade, its because the two spirits need a place of stability. Otherwise, they will frantically fight and eventually be killed together. Thus, they must find an extremely cold place rest quietly. The insane sword spirit had to be stored inside the Xuan Ice Box, right? Zhao Mu exclaimed, The soul of the Xuan Fire Kirin is already stunning enough. Now, a Millennium Owls soul was also added to the blade. This strange blade is absolutely a weapon of God. Thats it, Zhao Wujin replied. However, it has already recognized its owner. It no longer belongs to Horror Mountain Village. Is it Yang Dingtian? Zhao Mu asked. Should be, Zhao Wujin answered. If Im not mistaken, Yang Dingtian activated a formation in order to break through using the purest Xuan energy from the solar eclipse just now. I could clearly feel the Xuan energy within hundreds of miles coming towards the center of Horror Mountain Village. So were the soul spirits of the Xuan Fire Kirin and the Millennium Owl. Of course, some of the Xuan energy from these two soul spirits was refined into Yang Dingtians body through the formation. Apparently, this strange blade can only be used by him. Other people will be swallowed instantly when they touch it. Zhao Mu smiled and said, Treasures are owned by only a few elites. I really cant help but be jealous of Yang Dingtian for having this treasure. Zhao Wujin said, He almost lost his life to end up with this result. Someone is coming, Zhao Wujin suddenly said. Immediately, the dust and smoke rolled from a dozen miles in the distance. The ground was also starting to vibrate. At least hundreds of riders. It should be the troops of the Northwest Qin family from the castle near the border, Zhao Wujin said. At the same time, there were dozens of black spots in the sky, a number of Martial Artists riding flying beasts and approaching rapidly. Ximen Ningnings complexion slightly changed after she saw the situation. Zhao Wujin said, Ms. Ximen, you have to hide inside the coffin in the Burial Tower as well. Regardless of how arrogant the people from the Northwest Qin family are, I bet they wont trespass into the Burial Tower of Horror Mountain Village. Alright, thank you, Senior, Ximen Ningning said. Without a second of hesitation, Zhao Wujin rapidly grabbed the strange blade that was stuck into the ground and quickly entered the Burial Tower. He placed the strange blade into one of the coffins to let the gloomy and cold air inside suppress the strange blades aura. Then, Zhao Wujin floated up to the top of the Burial Tower and looked towards the fast-approaching figures. Who is it? Why are you here? Im Qin Mutang, a guardian from the abyss border town. We come in peace. We saw that Horror Mountain Village was rocked by a major disaster and inundated by fire. We are here to help, the person answered in a loud voice. Although he was thousands of meters away, his sound could be heard clearly here. Thank you, Guardian Qin. When the solar eclipse started, the magma sea under Horror Mountain Village erupted, completely destroying our village. Fortunately, all the villagers had already been transferred to a safe place in advance, so everyone is safe and sound, Zhao Wujin said. But, the entire village is ruined. We have nothing left to serve you guests, so please help yourselves. We are not here to visit. As you know, Horror Mountain Village and we Northwest Qin family have a good relationship. We are closely related and mutually dependent. Today, Horror Mountain Village has suffered a disaster. Of course we need to come and give you a hand, Qin Mutang said loudly as his large contingent of troops approached. ... Three hours passed. Five hours passed. Both suns had set, and night was upon them. The next day, the morning suns rose again from the East. Yang Dingtian slowly opened his eyes, seeing nothing but black. After he took some time to adjust himself to the darkness, he found that he was now located inside a coffin. Although he couldnt see anything, he could barely judge that he was still in Horror Mountain Village. He should currently be inside a coffin in the Burial Tower. After using the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation, he needed to meditate for nearly twenty hours because the Xuan energy he absorbed still had a little impurity, which he needed to refine and purify after the solar eclipse ended. The most important thing was to let the Xuan energy in his Sea of Energy flow through the rest of his body several times to strengthen his Xuan veins and bones. Now, everything was done, and no one knew how much stronger he was than before! Master, please tell me how many levels Ive broken through? Did I break through sixteen levels? Yang Dingtians first action was to ask his Master about his cultivation. He was full of expectations and very anxious. Dongfang Niemie was first silent for a moment, but then, he said while trembling, Oh my God! It is true that without serious pain, there wont be gains! Nineteen levels. Exactly nineteen levels! Son, youve broken through nineteen levels! Dongfang Niemie said emotionally. What? Nineteen levels? Yang Dingtian was stunned. To be honest, he can clearly feel that his entire body was full of strength at the moment. He knew that he had progressed a lot. However, his initial goal was only sixteen levels because he needed to achieve that level to triumph in the Elimination Battle. Moreover, Senior Xuwu Piaouan had told him that, millions of years ago, there was someone else who used the same method during the Yin Yang Festival to break through sixteen levels. That man then became number one in the world. Therefore, Yang Dingtian only dared to hope for sixteen levels at most. He didnt expect to break through nineteen levels in one go. How could he not be surprised? Youre now a nine-star Xuan Martial Artist, just one step away from becoming a Xuan Warrior. Dongfang Niemie continued, This is unbelievable, even if you are a top genius. It should have taken at least two years to reach this level, but you only spent ten days. This will definitely amaze the world! Yang Dingtians blood seemed to boil. Then, he remembered an important thing and asked, Master, what time is it now? And how long do I have until the Elimination Battle in Cloud Sky City? Dongfang Niemie was shocked. Hurry! There are only four hours left to the end of the Elimination Battle. You have to rush back to Cloud Sky City as fast as possible! ****** PS: Next chapter, its time for Yang Dingtian to show his miracle. Its time to show off to everyone else! Chapter 89: Back to Cloud Sky City Chapter 89: Back to Cloud Sky CityTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales There were only four hours left before the Elimination Battle ended, and it was taking place around two thousand miles away in Cloud Sky City. If he missed the Elimination Battle this time, Yang Yan and the others would definitely take this chance to banish him from Cloud Sky City. As such, Yang Dingtian couldnt wait to jump out from the coffin and immediately rush back to Cloud Sky City on the flying beast as quickly as possible. He then stood up and opened the cover of the coffin. He was right. He was currently located deep in the Burial Tower and was dozens of meters above the ground. Brother Yang has woken up! Zhao Mu was very excited. Little Tian. Ximen Ningning, who was meditating on the ground, opened her eyes in surprise. Yang Dingtian jumped down and went to Zhao Mu and Zhao Wujin and sincerely bowed to them. Senior, Brother Zhao, I will show my appreciation through my actions. From now on, no matter where am I, as long as youre facing any difficulties, I will definitely come in an instant regardless of where I am. Zhao Mu laughed and replied, Dont worry, of course I will. Unfortunately, the three-hundred-year-old foundation of Horror Mountain Village has all been destroyed, Yang Dingtian said. Zhao Wujin said, This isnt your fault. If you werent here, the Millennium Owl would have destroyed more than just Horror Mountain Village. Whats more, the Burial Tower is still intact, which is already a pleasant surprise for us. Yang Dingtian asked, So, now that the whole village has been destroyed, what will the thousands of villagers do? Where will they settle down? Dont worry. To be honest, weve already expected this disaster a few years ago, so weve already built a brand new village in advance. Although it isnt big, its enough for us to settle all the villagers, Zhao Wujin said. Then, he looked at Yang Dingtian for a moment and sighed. Breaking through more than ten levels within ten days is really shocking. I thought that you didnt have a chance of winning in the battle with Dongfang Bingling in five years, but now, it seems that its hard to say whos going to come out on top. Hopefully, I wont disappoint you, Senior, Yang Dingtian said. Then, he looked at Ximen Ningning and asked, Sister Ningning, how do you feel now? S?a??h th? Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian found that she wasnt as weak as yesterday. Her pallor had returned to normal. Im fine, Ximen Ningning answered softly: What about you? How many levels have you broken through? Ive broken through nineteen levels and am only one step away from becoming a Xuan Warrior, Yang Dingtian replied. What? Nineteen levels?! Zhao Mu and Zhao Wujin exclaimed at the same time. Zhao Mu looked at Yang Dingtian incredulously and said, In history, no one has achieved such a crazy breakthrough! Brother Yang, if news of this spreads, Im afraid that you will shock the whole world very quickly. I really look forward to the wonderful expression on Dongfang Binglings face. In her eyes, youre just mediocre! Yang Dingtian couldnt help but just smile, saying nothing. But he believed that with Dongfang Binglings pride and stubbornness, she would never regret what she said. After hearing the good news, Ximen Ningnings eyes shined. She smiled and said, I knew that Little Tian would not disappoint. Compared to Dongfang Bingling, Id prefer to see Yanyans expression. Her jaw will definitely drop. You won the first round in your couples fight. Thinking of Yanyan, Yang Dingtian couldnt help but smile warmly. Then, he worriedly said, I told her I would be back yesterday to show her. But Im still here now. It couldnt be that she had already left Cloud Sky City and gone to the Netherworld Sea? However, if Yanyans heart still had a place for Yang Dingtian, then she would definitely wait for him. I believe Yanyan wouldnt leave before seeing you one last time, Ningning gently consoled him. But, there are less than four hours before the Elimination Battle ends. We need to go back right now. Seeing Yang Dingtian worry, Zhao Mu said, I was thinking of inviting Brother Yang to visit our newly built village as a visitor, but it seems like you have other more critical things to do. I think you better go back now. Yang Dingtian felt a little embarrassed after hearing that. He thanked Zhao Mu again. Then, Ill see you later. From now on, if Brother Zhao needs my help, as long as you send me a letter, Ill immediately rush to you no matter how dangerous it is. Still the same words. Of course I will, said Zhao Mu with a laugh. Of course, he wouldnt take advantage of this promise. He wont request any help from Yang Dingtian within these five years before hes defeated Dongfang Bingling. He would never let his own affairs interfere with Yang Dingtians. Sister Ningning, lets go, Yang Dingtian said. Weve got to reach Cloud Sky City as quickly as possible to participate in the Elimination Battle. Hopefully, Yanyan is still around. Okay, but we cant use our identities now to pass through the border. Mr. Zhao, we might need to disguise ourselves as villagers from Horror Mountain Village, Ningning told Zhao Mu. Please do as you wish, Ms. Ximen. Ill prepare a token for you two to take along with your disguise. Then, Ill have those two villagers disappear from Horror Mountain Village for half a month, Zhao Mu said. Then, Zhao Mu and Zhao Wujin left. Ningning began to work on their disguises. About half an hour later, Yang Dingtian had changed into another face, a very ordinary face. This was Zhao Wujins nominal disciple. Then, Ningning disguised herself as a maid. They then put on cloaks to completely obscure their faces. Little Tian, you hold me here after we get on the horse, Ningning suddenly said. Yang Dingtian was slightly surprised. Sister Ningning, what happened to your legs? I cant move temporarily, Ningning answered. Is it because of the Deep Sea Xuan Poison? Yang Dingtian asked. Ningning nodded. When I controlled the Deep Sea Xuan Poison and shot it into the Millennium Owl, my body was also contaminated with a small portion. In order to prevent it from damaging my Sea of Energy, I have to use my Xuan energy to push it down and force it below my thigh, where it will have the least effect on me. Yang Dingtian reached out and grabbed Ningnings leg. He raised her skirt and trousers and saw that her legs were turning a fascinating green, all the way up to her thighs. Although it was beautiful, it still represented lingering poison. This small amount of Deep Sea Xuan Poison wont harm my life, but my legs are temporarily unable to move, Ningning said. Yang Dingtian continued to look at the fascinating green on Ningnings legs. He clenched his teeth and asked, It can be cured, right? No matter what, we go back to Cloud Sky City first, Ningning said. Yang Dingtian firmly said, No, youve got to tell me how to cure it. Ningning smiled softly. If it is the whole Deep Sea Xuan Poison, then theres nothing in the world that can cure it. This is only a millionth of the whole, so it still can be cured. Theres a snake called the Million Poison Demon Snake. It doesnt eat anything but poison. Any kind of poison. It would be happier if it is more poisonous. This snake can grow up to three feet long and will gradually become smaller over time. It is the most poisonous species in the world. As long as there is such a snake, it can smell the Deep Sea Xuan Poison in my body across dozens of meters and eventually absorb it from my body. Where can I find such a poisonous Million Poison Demon Snake? Yang Dingtian asked. In the wild Secret Poison Clan in the west, there are people who rear the Million Poison Devil Snake. But the people there are mysterious and barbaric, closed and aloof. They study poisons and venoms and are all dangerous people, Ningning said. Yang Dingtian leaned down and kissed Ningnings pretty thigh. Sister Ningning, I promise I will definitely get the Million Poison Demon Snake to cure you. Of course I believe in you, Ningning softly said. In fact, I didnt tell you that this Deep Sea Xuan Poison is not all bad for me. Theres a special advantage for me, but Im afraid that I cant tell you why. So you dont have to worry and let it stay in my body for a while. My body is different from everyone elses. Yang Dingtian was a little shocked and suddenly recalled something. But what about your Xuan energy cultivation? Because your Xuan veins go through both legs. Ningning hesitated. Her face was red as she whispered, Theres one way. Xuan energy can actually bypass the legs by setting the perineum as the lowest point. Of course, the speed of cultivation is slower than usual. The perineum was the most intimate place for girls. Of course, Ningning felt ashamed when she said it. Ningning then continued, Alright, these are all in the distant future. But now, the most important thing is to immediately head back to Cloud Sky City to participate in the Elimination Battle. Yang Dingtian didnt say any more. He clenched his teeth and nodded. He carried Ningning on his shoulders and walked outside. Horses were readied. Zhao Mu handed a token to Yang Dingtian and said, Uncle Wujin will see you over the border. No one dares to provoke him within these hundreds of miles. Yang Dingtian thought for a while and accepted the offer. Thanks! Then, he first took Ningning to a flying beast. Both of them rode on a Griffin while Zhao Wujin rode on a giant bat beast. Brother Zhao, take care! Yang Dingtian shouted at Zhao Mu from the Griffin. Brother Yang, take care! Zhao Mu replied. Go! Yang Dingtian shouted. The Griffin then flew towards the border to the Northeast. ****** Two hours later, the abyss border town on the edge of the Northwest Qin familys territory appeared on the horizon. Yang Dingtian and Zhao Wujins flying beasts landed because one was not allowed to cross the border abyss while flying. Only horse riding was allowed. Yang Dingtian first settled Ningning on a horse. Although she cant move her legs, she was still able to easily control a horse because she was a beast language master. Yang Dingtian and Zhao Wujin also rode on horses. They all headed for the abyss boundary on the east side. After a quarter of an hour, the three of them reached the border of the suspension bridge. Due to the token from Horror Mountain Village and the presence of the powerful Zhao Wujin, Yang Dingtian and Ximen Ningning passed the suspension bridge without any hindrances and entered Cloud Sky Citys territory. Zhao Wujin sent Yang Dingtian and Ximen Ningning to Ningnings secret mountain spot. Since the day Yang Dingtian went to the mine, the Floating Ray had stayed here to wait for their return. Yang Dingtian put Ningning on the Floating Ray and then said to Zhao Wujin, Thank you for seeing us off, Senior. You can go back now. See you! Zhao Wujin said. He then rode his horse back in the direction of Horror Mountain Village. Ray Ray, go back to Cloud Sky City, Yang Dingtian said. The Floating Ray immediately fluttered its wings and soon reached the height of a kilometer as it flew towards Cloud Sky City. At the moment, there was still an hour and a half left before the Elimination Battle ends. ****** Chapter 90: The Violent Sword Spirit! The Battle Ring Chapter 90: The Violent Sword Spirit! The Battle RingTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Little Tian, this is for you from Senior Wujin and Brother Zhao. On the Floating Ray, Ningning took out a long box and passed it to Yang Dingtian. The box was cold. It was the box where the quality Bloody Black Gold Sword was kept. However, that sword was long gone. As soon as he opened the box, he saw a strange sword lying in it. A powerful and violent aura brushed against his face as if it were attempting to swallow him. On top of the hilt, there were two demon nuclei tightly entangled together. The blue one should be the Millennium Owls, and the red one should the Xuan Fire Kirins that was originally in the quality Bloody Black Gold Sword. Both demon nuclei had slight chip damage, but both looked equally fierce as if each was about to swallow the other. What exactly happened? Yang Dingtian asked. Brother Zhao discovered this treasure sword on the ground. And Senior Wujin said that this is what remains of the quality Bloody Black Gold Sword. The claws of the Millennium Owl, the Xuan Ice Metal, and both demon nuclei of the Millennium Owl and the Xuan Fire Kirin, these four items were combined under an extremely powerful energy. Ximen Ningning said, They gave this sword to you, but they let me hand it over since they were worried that you would not accept it. How can this be? This belongs to Horror Mountain Village, and Ive already succeeded in my breakthrough. How can I be so greedy to accept such powerful divine weapons? Yang Dingtian said. Undoubtedly, this was truly a divine blade. Each of the four items that formed this sword was extremely valuable and rare. Whats more, these four items were combined under extreme pressure provided by a chaotic event. It was obvious how powerful it would be. Ningning said, There is a strong violent energy in the sword. Anyone who touches it will be swallowed, even if it is a Guru. Brother Zhao tried to grab it back then. He was assaulted by the energy and blown away, spitting out lots of blood. Senior Wujin said that only you will be able to use this sword. After hearing that, Yang Dingtian couldnt help but reach out to hold this strange sword. At the moment, he was able to see that the shape of the blade resembled the sharp claws of the Millennium Owl. Be careful, this is only Senior Wujins assumption. Its swallowing energy is extremely powerful, Ningning said. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and reached out to grab the strange blade. Suddenly, an incomparably powerful and violent energy rushed out. It turned out to be as powerful as the ocean and seemed about to directly tear Yang Dingtian into pieces. Yang Dingtians body instantly turned ice-cold as if he was about to die. However, in just a split second, this violent energy shrunk back and returned to the demon nuclei. The strange blade became silent and calm. Within this short period of time, Yang Dingtians body had been completely soaked with his cold sweat. Such a powerful sword spirit. Such an insane sword spirit...., Dongfang Niemie suddenly said in Yang Dingtians mind. Master, there is a sword spirit inside this sword? Yang Dingtian asked. Yes, there is an extremely powerful sword spirit, and it is a sword spirit that cannot be controlled without a strong consciousness, Dongfang Niemie said. This sword spirit was formed from the combination of the Millennium Owl and the Xuan Fire Kirins demonic souls. Your body has a sliver of their energy, which is why you can use this sword. You can even summon the sword spirit inside, but you must never do that. Yang Dingtian asked, Why? Your mental strength is too weak while the sword spirit is extremely powerful but does not have any consciousness. So using the weak to curb the strong would only result in fatal injury to both parties, Dongfang Niemie said. Also, it will have a negative influence on your sword soul cultivation in the future! Cultivating the sword soul was the most important thing for Yang Dingtian. It was something he couldnt risk! I understand, Master. I wont use this sword. Ill return it to Horror Mountain Village, Yang Dingtian said. Thats not necessary. Even if you dont summon the sword spirit, it is already a super powerful treasure sword by itself, increasing the power of your Xuan techniques by twenty percent. It is absolutely a divine blade. It is very powerful even if you use it as a normal blade, Dongfang Niemie said. Before you head to Fire Cloud Devil Cave to forge a sword soul basic sword, just use this strange sword. Also, when you manage to find the Xuan Fire of heaven and earth to forge the sword soul, the sword spirit inside this treasure sword will be the first soul weapon to be consumed by your sword soul. Dongfang Niemie said excitedly, The soul of the Millennium Owl, the soul of the Xuan Fire Kirin, and that extremely powerful lord of the abyss. If your sword soul is able to consume these three powerful souls right after it is born, I cannot imagine how fast your sword soul cultivation speed will be. Those days when master was cultivating the sword soul, it took five years for the soul weapons that were consumed to be on par with the damaged soul weapon of a Millennium Owl. Yang Dingtian felt his blood begin to heat up. He instantly became excited to forge his own sword soul. In less than five months time, the best quality Earth Fire of the Fire Cloud Devil Cave will be unleashed. At that time, Yang Dingtian could bring along his 45 ten-thousand-year-old Bloody Black Gold pieces there to forge his own sword soul basic sword, a sword treasure that would truly belong to him. But as for now, the most important thing would be the Elimination Match at Cloud Sky City! At the moment, he was already a Nine-star Xuan Martial Artist and had the full confidence that he would be able to win the match. Not to mention that he has a strange Millennium Owl sword that adds twenty percent power to Xuan techniques! Yanyan, I did not disappoint you. You must also definitely not disappoint me. In midair, Yang Dingtian looked towards Cloud Sky City, his heart extremely anxious. Cloud Sky City, I am coming! ****** Currently, there were lots of people crowded in Cloud Sky City with a few thousand watching the match on the competition field. The once-in-a-year elimination battle had almost come to the end. It was already the last match! Originally, the annual elimination battle wasnt so huge, and most of the important people of Cloud Sky City would not be present. However, in this years elimination battle, all of the important people of Cloud Sky City were present. On the left side, there were Yang Yan, Tang Boshao, Ximen Ju, and so on, dozens of people who managed a large portion of the citys forces. There was also the eye-catching beautiful Yang Shishi, who had recently been banished by the Northwest Qin family. On the right side, there were only two people: Ximen Wuyas wife, Yang Peipei, and Ximen Lie. Compared to Yang Yans side, theirs was much less imposing. Also, it wasnt just all the important people. Thousands of Cloud Sky City disciples were all sitting in the square. It was the largest gathering in the city over the past few years. There was only one purpose for Yang Yan to have organized such a huge event, which was to humiliate Yang Dingtian and have everyone in Cloud Sky City lose faith in the man chosen by Ximen Wuya. Ximen Wuya was the brightest disciple with the highest status in Cloud Sky City. Since he chose Yang Dingtian to be the next City Lord, many people here still held Yang Dingtian in their hearts. Even though his reputation was extremely bad, having been called a madman or useless person, deep down in the hearts of many Cloud Sky City disciples, they didnt believe it. They couldnt believe that the previous City Lord could have such terrible judgment. Thus, to completely dispel the hopes of these people and to strike against Ximen Wuyas prestige, Yang Yan wanted all of Cloud Sky City to witness Yang Dingtians shame and let everyone see that he was useless. Then, in front of everyone, he would officially banish Yang Dingtian from the city. Only this way would Qin Shaobai be able to take the position of City Lord and wrest control of the city for the Yang family! As a result, even though there were two people fighting in the arena right now, not a single spectator paid attention. Everyone was staring towards the City gate, waiting to see whether or not Yang Dingtian would return. As soon as the final match was over, the elimination battle would be officially concluded. Yang Dingtian would be considered to have forfeited and would be immediately exiled. So at this crucial moment, thousands of Cloud Sky City disciples were engaged in discussions in the square! ..... How is Yang Dingtian still not here? Could it be that hes really scared and has escaped? Thats for sure. You are too na?ve. How can you even put any hopes on a mad person like Yang Dingtian? He has run far away by now. City Lord Ximen had bad judgment. He was just an enlightener a few days ago. It is impossible for him to break through and become a Six-star Xuan Martial Artist! Yes, I will swear my loyalty to him on the spot if he is able to achieve that within a few days and recognize him as the future Cloud Sky City Lord. Thats true. If he is able to break through that many times within a few days, that means he is the most talented person of the millennium. If such a person would revitalize our Cloud Sky City, I am willing to give my entire life to him. Hey, dream on! How can a madman like Yang Dingtian be able to break through sixteen ranks within a few days? Stop joking. If he is able to do that, I will chop my head off on the spot! Ai! Yang Dingtian has really let me down. Its no big deal if he isnt able to become a six-star Xuan Martial Artist, but the fact that he doesnt even dare to participate in this elimination battle is too disappointing! Of course he doesnt dare. If he participates, he will definitely die! ..... Bang! One of the disciples was struck and blasted out of the arena grounds. The final match had ended, and the results of the elimination battle were finalized. The ten lowest-ranking disciples will be kicked out of Cloud Sky City. Elder, please announce the results. That useless Yang Dingtian wont dare come, Tang Boshao said while laughing. Elder Yang Yan instantly stood up, holding a hammer and about to slam the huge gong on the side. The Elimination Battle has ended.... S?a??h the N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Wait.... Ximen Wuyas wife, Yang Peipei, stood up and pointed at the sunset. As long as the sun has not fully set, the elimination battle is not over. But, the battles have already ended, Yang Yan said coldly. As for Yang Dingtian, he doesnt even dare to participate in the battle. How is he qualified to be a disciple of Cloud Sky City, not to mention qualified to be the next City Lord? I really dont understand how City Lord Ximen ended up choosing such a useless person. Then, Yang Yan shouted over the square, I announce the Elimination Battle has come to an end. Yang Dingtian along with the ten failed disciples will be kicked out of Cloud Sky City! No! Ximen Lie shouted. According to the rules set by our ancestors, the Elimination Battle does not end until the sun sets. Then, he shouted towards all other disciples of Cloud Sky City, Do you all believe in City Lord Ximen? If you believe in him, make some noise. Give Yang Dingtian a chance and also give yourselves a chance! Do you believe in City Lord Ximen? Yes or no? We believe... a portion of those present shouted. Ximen Lie shouted again, Do you believe or not? Believe! Believe! More and more disciples shouted in agreement as Ximen Wuya held an almost divine position in their hearts. Yang Yan and the rest of his people had ugly expressions. Even when Ximen Wuya was no longer around, he was still highly respected by all of the disciples. Elder, please give Yang Dingtian a chance to prove himself. Before the sun sets, the elimination battle is not considered over yet, Ximen Lie said. Yang Yans face was cold and looked as if he was about to object. Suddenly, a handsome young man walked towards him and said softly, Grandfather, give him a chance. At the moment, the higher Yang Dingtian climbs, the greater will his fall be! Lets just let him die in the arena! This young man was Qin Shaobai! He was a talented young man here to fight for the Cloud Sky City Lord position. And when he spoke, his face was filled with gentle smiles while his words were incomparably poisonous. Okay then, since you all want to be humiliated, then Ill grant your wish, Yang Yan smiled and said. There are still 15 minutes till sunset. If Yang Dingtian still doesnt appear by then, that will mean that he has lost the battle. Not only that he will be kicked out of Cloud Sky City, but he will also be listed as the shame of Cloud Sky City forever! Agreed! Ximen Lie said. Then, he returned back to his position, looking towards the city gate, feeling like he was about to suffocate. Yang Dingtian, dont let me down. Dont let masters wife down. Dont let Yanyan down, and dont let all the Cloud Sky City disciples who supported you down. If you dont come, its not just over for you but also for Godfathers prestige! Everyone held their breaths, looking at the sunset in the west. As the sun dipped lower, the hearts of those who supported Yang Dingtian also sunk. Their bodies felt colder and colder! .... Yanyan wasnt at the battlegrounds but was standing at the top of Cloud Sky City. As soon as Yang Dingtian appeared, she would be able to show herself as well. At the moment, the sun had already almost completely set. Yanyan had her baggage with her, was holding a treasure sword in her hand, and was dressed as if she was going somewhere far. She stared to the west, but Yang Dingtian still had not appeared, and the sun had almost set. Yang Dingtian, are you really letting me down? As long as you come back and participate in the battle, even if you lose, I will not leave. I will still be your wife. I will still forgive you. I will still sleep with you and use the Yin Yang Xuan Devouring Arts to transfer my Xuan energy to you. But, are you really going to let me down and push me to the Netherworld Sea? Yanyans heart was setting like the sun. At the moment, there was a sudden high-pitch tweet that sounded from the sky in the west. A beautiful Floating Ray appeared, blocking the spectators view of the sun. There were two figures on it. One was Yang Dingtian, and the other was Ximen Ningning. Yanyans heart was instantly delighted, and she shouted with all her might towards Yang Dingtian in the sky, Yang Dingtian, you dead ghost! You still know how to come back! .... As the public watched, the Floating Ray gradually landed on the battle stage. Yang Dingtian jumped down and bowed respectfully to Yang Yan and the others on the upper stage. Elder, Yang Dingtian has rushed back to participate in the Elimination Battle! Chapter 91: The Split Second Killing at the Wheel Challenge Chapter 91: The Split Second Killing at the Wheel ChallengeTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian had come back. He managed to return at the crucial moment. Suddenly, it was as if there was a whirlwind in the arena as all of the disciples of Cloud Sky City stood up to see what the legendary useless person looked like. Those disciples who had hopes for Yang Dingtian wanted to see what the successor picked by City Lord Ximen looked like. Although Yang Dingtian was very famous in Cloud Sky City, there werent many who had seen him in person. ...... I never thought that he would really come. A madman is truly a madman. He even came here to seek death. Yeah, he was just an enlightener five days ago and even dares to come for the competition. His brain must have been completely destroyed from cultivating the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. He must be hallucinating, believing that hes very powerful. Thats why he came to seek death. The crowd began to make good and bad comments about him. As for the disciples who held expectations for Yang Dingtian, he came back right at the critical moment, but they dared not have high hopes for him. After all, he was merely an enlightener a few days ago, and the weakest disciple eliminated through the competition was a Three-star Xuan Martial Artist. No matter how they saw it, Yang Dingtian had no hope at all. The handsome Qin Shaobai looked at Yang Dingtian, laughed, and said, He is Yang Dingtian? He really came to seek death? Looks like he really did injure his brain from cultivating the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. Elder Tang, your City Lord Ximens judgment was not an ordinary sort of bad. Qin Shaobai did not show even the slightest bit of respect towards Ximen Wuya in his speech. Who doesnt think so? Tang Boshao laughed. Its a pity that a beauty like Ximen Yanyan is being ruined. But, I dont really mind. Qin Shaobai shook his head as he sighed. Then, his greedy eyes looked over towards Yanyans fiery and delicate body. This Qin Shaobai was really ruthless. His brother Qin Huaiyu had eyed Yanyan first, but he didnt care at all and showed his desire for her openly. Not just Qin Shaobai, many of the disciples also showed disappointed expressions after seeing Yang Dingtian. So, he was Yang Dingtian. He looked ordinary, not particularly wise or great. Yang Dingtian looked extremely unsightly as he was covered with dust and his clothes were ragged. ........ Looking at how Yang Yan ignored him, Yang Dingtian shouted once again, Elder, Yang Dingtian has come to participate in the elimination battle! Yang Yan acted impatient. But the time has already passed, and the elimination battle has already ended. Tang Boshao walked up and said, Elder, since he already came, why not give him a chance? Let everyone see what kind of person City Lord Ximen chose to be the successor. Yang Yan said coldly, Okay, let them see clearly that not simply any cat or dog could become head of Cloud Sky City. You handle the rest! Yes! Tang Boshao said. Then, he gradually walked towards the front of the higher stage, looked at the few thousand disciples below and said, Our gracious City Lord Ximen made Yang Dingtian the next successor of Cloud Sky City, and I know that many of you have high hopes for him deep down! Then today, we will let you all see clearly whether Yang Dingtian is qualified to be the successor of Cloud Sky City or not. We shall see what City Lord Ximen envisioned. Tang Boshaos speech was obviously attempting to use Yang Dingtian to damage the prestige and status of Ximen Wuya. Then, Tang Boshao looked at Yang Dingtian and said, Yang Dingtian, although you managed to rush back before sunset, the elimination battle has already ended, and its impossible to allow you to participate in the competition. So, we can only use the old rule. Upon hearing mention of the old rule, Peipei and Ximen Lies expressions changed immediately. Yang Dingtian frowned and asked, Old rule, what old rule? Tang Boshao said, The old rule is the Battle Ring Wheel Challenge. You will be on the battle stage, and all ten disciples who failed in the elimination battle will be able to challenge you. As long as you lose one match, you will lose the entire elimination competition and get kicked out of Cloud Sky City! (TL note: Wheel challenge is the tactic of several people taking turns to fight one opponent to tire him out) Then, how can I win? Yang Dingtian asked. If you beat three people, then you win the entire competition, Tang Boshao said. That way, you will qualify to stay in Cloud Sky City and also qualify to participate in the final competition for the City Lords position that will be held during winter next year. After listening to the conditions that Tang Boshao stated, Ximen Lie and Mrs. Ximens facial expressions changed, but they did not stand up to object. This was because it truly was an old rule of Cloud Sky City. But, there were weird expressions on many of the faces in the field. Yang Dingtian was merely an enlightener five days ago, and now, he would be accepting challenges from ten Xuan Martial Artists. Isnt that a ridiculous joke? Tang Boshao said sarcastically, This is the old rule. Are you willing to stand on the battle stage and accept the Wheel Challenge? I am willing to, Yang Dingtian said. Then, head on up, Tang Boshao said. ..... Yang Dingtian slowly walked up the battle stage and officially accepted the Wheel Challenge. Tang Boshao looked at the ten people who were eliminated earlier and said, Anyone who wants to challenge Yang Dingtian, get on the stage! After he finished talking, no one went up or even replied. Tang Boshao asked again, Who wants to challenge Yang Dingtian? Still, no one answered! When Tang Boshao asked for the third time, someone finally walked out and said, With respect to the Elder Society, although we have already failed in the elimination battle, asking us to fight an enlightener is too much of an insult. We will not go on stage! After he finished talking, everyone on the field burst into laughter! Instantly, the field became awkward as they felt that Yang Dingtian was too weak, and no one was willing to challenge him. Tang Boshao frowned a little. Someone had to defeat Yang Dingtian on stage for them to be able to officially kick him out of Cloud Sky City. Yang Yan said calmly, Whoever beats Yang Dingtian will be able to stay in Cloud Sky City! As soon as he announced that, the expressions of those ten people changed. Looking extremely excited, they all rushed out. I challenge him! I challenge him! Ten people were fighting for the chance because in their eyes, Yang Dingtian was a free prize-dispensing machine. S?a??h the N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Then, Tang Boshao shouted, The weakest from the elimination battle, come out! A male youth walked out. He was the one with the weakest cultivation that was eliminated just now. What is your name? What is your Xuan energy rank? Tang Boshao asked. Sun Hao, Three-star Xuan Martial Artist, the youth said. Tang Boshao said, Sun Hao, you are the weakest in Cloud Sky City. Go and have a match with Yang Dingtian! Let people see clearly who the successor chosen by City Lord Ximen is. Instantly, Sun Haos expression filled with excitement. He never thought that such a good opportunity would land in his lap. He said excitedly, Yes, Elder. Then, he jumped high up and landed on the battle stage! Tang Boshao looked at Yang Dingtian impatiently and said, Sun Hao, be quick. Dont waste everyones time! Yes! Sun Hao said. Then, he pulled out his sword and said, Yang Dingtian, please! Yang Dingtian nodded and walked in front of Sun Hao. He also took out his weapon, the strange Millennium Owl blade. The moment he took out his weapon, everyone on the field burst into laughter. Such an ugly weapon. Such rubbish. Yes, the Millennium Owl Gigantic Sword containing the violent aura looked like an ugly piece of ruined metal. Yang Dingtians brain was really damaged from learning the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. He even picked up such a weapon from the trash! Lets start, Yang Dingtian! Sun Hao said excitedly. He looked at Yang Dingtian with a dissatisfied look. Even though he was placed last in the elimination battle, it seemed like he did not place Yang Dingtian in his eyes. Please! Yang Dingtian said, holding his Millennium Owl Gigantic Sword at the ready. Wait..., Yanyan suddenly shouted. She immediately ran up to the arena. Then, she walked to Yang Dingtian and said gently, Yang Dingtian, you did not let me down as you eventually came back. Even if you were to lose and get kicked out of Cloud Sky City, I will leave with you and continue to be your wife. I believe that you will become strong one day, and I believe that you will be able to return to Cloud Sky City one day. After she said her piece, before Yang Dingtian could even open his mouth, she ran off the battleground. Looking at this scene, Qin Shaobais expression changed, and his eyes showed a glimmer of coldness. Then, he pretended to yawn impatiently and took out a gold coin from his pocket. Sun Hao, to save everyones time, I will flip this gold coin. As long as you are able to end this match before it hits the ground, I will grant you a bag of gold coins. Then, Qin Shaobai glanced at Sun Hao calmly. If Sun Hao was smart enough, he would have understood what Qin Shaobai meant. He was not to just beat Yang Dingtian before the coin falls but to give him a blood-soaked ending. If he managed to do so, then he would become Qin Shaobais man. Sun Haos blood heated up. As long as he managed to cling to Qin Shaobais coattails, his future would definitely be very bright. Instantly, Sun Haos gaze towards Yang Dingtian became violent and cold. Yang Dingtian, swords have no eyes. Please dont be surprised! No problem! Yang Dingtian said. Qin Shaobai shot the gold coin into the air. This signified that the match had begun! Kill....., Sun Hao shouted, brandishing his sword, using all of his strength and Xuan energy, rushing towards Yang Dingtian! Yang Dingtian stood still in the same place as if he wasnt aware that the opponent was coming. Sun Hao appeared before him within seconds and aimed his sword directly at Yang Dingtians body, striking down at lightning speed. He was about to split Yang Dingtians body in half. He wanted to slit his throat and open his stomach. Seeing how Yang Dingtian stood still, those who supported him lost their hope. Had he really gone mad from cultivating the Pig Killing Swordsmanship? The opponent intended to slit open his stomach, but he wasnt even attempting to dodge. There was a glimpse of hope in Sun Haos eyes, and he said in his heart, Yang Dingtian, dont blame me. I had to use you as a stepping stone to get Qin Shaobais favor! Sun Hao put all of his energy into his sharp sword and was about to cut through Yang Dingtian. Ahh... Countless spectators were shocked and closed their eyes instinctively, not willing to see the violent scene. Sun Haos sharp sword was just an inch away when the Strange Millennium Owl Blade held by Yang Dingtian sliced outwards like lightning! The third move of Pig Killing Swordsmanship: Chop off the head! Dang... A loud sound resounded as the sword swung. Blood splattered over the entire area! Ahh... A horrible scream echoed followed by a human figure flying dozens of meters away, spurting blood in midair, flying off the battle stage, and slamming into the ground. It was hard to tell if he was dead or alive. The one who flew out was Sun Hao. One move, Yang Dingtian used only one move, and the opponent was killed! At the moment, Qin Shaobais gold coin had yet to land! Chapter 92: The Surprise at the Wheel Challenge Chapter 92: The Surprise at the Wheel ChallengeTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Killed in a split second. He was really killed in a split second!? Furthermore, it was Sun Hao who was killed in a split second! Qin Shaobais expression changed tremendously, and he stood up. Elder Yang Yan was stunned as well and also sat up straight. Yanyan and Mrs. Ximens eyes were wide open, still unable to believe everything that they just saw! Everyone on the field was shocked and stood up, staring at Yang Dingtian in disbelief! How could this have happened? At first, everyone thought that Yang Dingtian would definitely end up being cut open from shoulder to stomach. However, it turned out to be such an unexpected scene. Wasnt Yang Dingtian still an enlightener five days ago? Didnt all those who tried to cultivate the Pig Killing Swordsmanship turn into madmen or cripples? Sun Hao was a Three-star Xuan Martial Artist but was killed by Yang Dingtian in a split second. Then, what could Yang Dingtians rank be? It needs to be at least a few stars higher. But, in merely five days, Yang Dingtian had actually managed to break through dozens of levels. The notion was insane as there hadnt been any similar cases in the past thousand years. ... In the battlefield, there were a few minutes of silence! Yang Dingtian... Suddenly, a disciple that was rooting for Yang Dingtian shouted. Then, more and more people began shouting his name! Long live City Lord Ximen. Long live City Lord Ximen.... In the end, all of the accolades focused on Ximen Wuya. S?a??h the Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The result of this match didnt only represent Yang Dingtian but also Ximen Wuyas prestige and status! Hearing the cheers down there, Yang Yan and the others facial expressions turned bad. At first, they thought of using Yang Dingtians failure to shake Ximen Wuyas prestige, but they never thought that the rock they threw would end up hurting themselves. Qin Shaobais original indifferent expression instantly turned serious, and he stared at Yang Dingtian with a fierce gaze. Yang Dingtian, who had killed his opponent in a split second, had not much of an expression on his face, not to mention emotions. In merely five days, he was able to break through dozens of ranks, which was something that no one had ever heard of. There was a glimpse of killing intent in Qin Shaobais gaze. Originally, we only wanted to humiliate you, break your hands and legs, and kick you out of Cloud Sky City. But, since you dared to perform so well here, then I cant spare you, Qin Shaobai said in his heart. He felt the threat as he heard the people shouting down there. If Yang Dingtian doesnt die, he wont be able to sit comfortably on the City Lords position. Immediately, Qin Shaobai exchanged a gaze with Tang Boshao as if he was giving a strict and cold order! It was undoubtedly an order! Although he was still young and his cultivation was much weaker than Tang Boshaos, he still saw everyone in Cloud Sky City as little more than servants. Only the Northwest Qin Family was the supreme ruler in the entire western region. After Ximen Wuya passed away, Cloud Sky City was nothing. Tang Boshao nodded, and he signaled with his fingers! Facing this scenario, although they felt it was impossible, they still made relevant back-up plans. This plan was personally designed by Qin Shaobai to kill Yang Dingtian! ..... Silence! Tang Boshao stood on the higher stage and shouted strictly. The competition is not over yet. Dont simply talk as you like! Then, he looked at Yang Dingtian and said, Yang Dingtian, you have won the first match of the Wheel Challenge, and you still have to win two more matches to become a disciple of Cloud Sky City. Only then will you be qualified to participate in the competition for the position of City Lord next year! Then, he looked at the nine remaining challengers and said, Who wants to challenge Yang Dingtian next? The nine remaining people remained quiet! Yang Dingtians split-second killing move was too intimidating! Anyone who beats Yang Dingtian will be able to stay in Cloud Sky City, Tang Boshao said. Me! One among the crowd stepped forward. This person was physically strong, and there was a dangerous aura around him. After seeing this person, all of the Cloud Sky City disciples became suspicious as this persons face was new. No one had ever seen him before. Of course, they wouldnt have because this person was Qin Shaobais follower who arrived just four days ago. He was an executioner whose role was to kill Yang Dingtian. He was a Qin Shaobais chess piece. What is your name? Tang Boshao said. Gan Lang! the man said coldly. What is your cultivation? What was your ranking in the elimination battle just now? Tang Boshao asked. Ninth from the bottom, a Nine-star Xuan Martial Artist! Gan Lang said. Instantly, everyone was shocked! This years Cloud Sky City disciples were so strong? In previous years, the bottom ten places were all six-star Xuan Martial Artists, but this years bottom nine actually included a Nine-star Xuan Martial Artist? But, since he was Qin Shaobais chess piece, then a Nine-star Xuan Martial Artist must only be his surface capability, and his actual cultivation must be much greater! What his true capabilities were, no one knew except for Qin Shaobai and himself! Also, his entire body was filled with the aura of bloodthirst. It was obvious that hed gone through a lot of battlefields and had killed countless people! ... Gan Lang slowly walked up to the battleground and stood still in front of Yang Dingtian, looking at him as if he was looking at a dead person! On the higher stage, Yanyan and Mrs. Ximen exchanged glances and both saw a glimpse of worry and premonition in the others eyes. Meanwhile, Ximen Lie was lost in thought! Ive seen this person. I have definitely seen this person before! Ximen Lie said. He had truly seen this person before, but he couldnt immediately remember when. But the moment he saw him, his first impression was bloodthirst and violence! By now, Gan Lang had already taken out his weapon. Everyone was shocked to see that his weapon wasnt the sword he used during the competition just now but a pair of scary metal claws that were sharp and ugly. There were bright red stains on it. One could not tell how many peoples blood stained it. I remember. This person is the body-ripping devil from the Northwest Qin Familys military. Its just that he was previously wearing a black mask, so I didnt recognize him. Ximen Lies expression changed. This person is from the Qin City military. He fought over hundreds of battles and killed hundreds of people without a single defeat! Also, this killer would always rip his opponent apart in an extremely violent and bloody manner. They are trying to kill Yang Dingtian! Despicable! Mrs. Ximen said. Yanyan said, Brother, then what is his cultivation? I dont know, but the number of Xuan Martial Artists who have died under his claws is not fewer than ten, Ximen Lie said. Hearing that, Yanyan and Mrs. Ximens expressions changed. Yanyan said hurriedly, From the match between Yang Dingtian and Sun Hao, Im guessing that his cultivation should be around seven-star Xuan Martial Artist. But, if he were to fight Gan Lang, wouldnt he definitely die? Indeed, Yang Dingtian killing Sun Hao in a split second looked extremely cool. But for those with a higher cultivation, they would be able to see that his Xuan energy cultivation was only around six or seven stars. And around ten people around this level had died under the hands of this body-ripping devil, Gan Lang! In addition, Gan Lang had participated in the most bloody and violent battles. Those werent martial arts competitions but fights where the only outcome for the loser was death! Thats why, even if Yang Dingtian managed to break through, he still had no actual experience on the battlefield. Meanwhile, Gan Lang had experienced hundreds of fights where he had to crawl through fresh blood and corpses. His expertise wasnt in martial arts fights but in killing! The fact that Qin Shaobai sent him meant that he wanted Yang Dingtian dead! ...... At the moment, Tang Boshaos expression was cold and showed a glimpse of violence at the edges of his mouth. He looked at Yang Dingtian and said, I never thought that the chess piece we placed here would be put to use. Yang Dingtian, it is you who seeks death. Dont blame us. Then, Tang Boshao looked at the battle stage and said, In this Wheel Challenge, put in all your effort. There may be bloodshed or injuries or even death! So, leave your fates in this match to God! After he said that, even the Cloud Sky City disciples could feel the premonition of a violent battle and felt chills in their necks. Gan Lang opened his mouth towards Yang Dingtian, exposing his white teeth as if he was about to rip through Yang Dingtians flesh and draw blood. Start.... Tang Boshao shouted, and he slammed his hands down as if signaling an execution! Wait....Mrs. Ximen stood up, looked at Yang Yan and the rest, and laughed. Elder, how can someone be so shameless to this extent? This Gan Lang, is he from Cloud Sky City? He was obviously the body-ripping devil from the Northwest Qin Familys military. What are your motives to have him planted in this elimination competition? Youve seen Yang Dingtians capabilities and want to kill him. Is that it? Qin Shaobai stood up and said, Mrs. Ximen, how is he not part of Cloud Sky City? Since I am already one of Cloud Sky Citys people, how is it that the person I brought isnt also a disciple of Cloud Sky City? Then, Qin Shaobai looked at Yang Dingtian and said, If you say that Gan Lang didnt learn martial arts in Cloud Sky City, then has Yang Dingtian learned martial arts in Cloud Sky City? Is the Pig Killing Swordsmanship one of Cloud Sky Citys Martial Arts? Since Yang Dingtian could be a disciple of Cloud Sky City and even the successor, then why cant my Gan Lang be a disciple of Cloud Sky City? Qin Shaobai was truly cunning, and although what he said was ridiculous, no one was able to argue. That was true. If Yang Dingtian could be a disciple of Cloud Sky City, then Gan Lang also can be. Mrs. Ximen was so furious that she trembled. Its obvious that his capabilities way surpass the Xuan Martial Artist rank. Why would he end up in the bottom ten? What are your motives? Qin Shaobai laughed and did not explain further. Ximen Yan laughed and answered, He must have lost it in the elimination competition. There isnt any rule in the elimination competition saying that a person cant act abnormal! Ximen Yan, youre such a traitor! Looking at how Ximen Yan shamelessly stood by Qin Shaobai, Ximen Lie couldnt help but retort angrily. Ximen Yan gave a cold sneer and backed off, not saying any more. Tang Boshaos face turned cold. Yang Dingtian, this Battle Ring Wheel Challenge is not a childs game. The opponent in front of you is already determined. You either choose to fight or admit your defeat. There isnt a third option! Fight? This Gan Lang standing before him was a bloodthirsty devil that killed dozens of Xuan Martial Artist with his own hands. Meanwhile, Yang Dingtian was only a Nine-star Xuan Martial Artist. Dont fight? That would mean he admits defeat and will be kicked out of Cloud Sky City! The sky has turned dark. The thousands of Cloud Sky City disciples have no time to waste with you, Tang Boshao shouted. Fight or admit defeat? I will count to three. You must give me an answer! Three... Two..... Fight or admit defeat? Fight and he might die! Back off and he would lose! One...., Tang Boshao yelled out the last number! ..... Instantly, all Cloud Sky City disciples looked to Yang Dingtian, anticipating his final decision! Fight!! Yang Dingtian shouted out loud and slammed the gigantic Millennium Owl Sword of his into the ground. Instantly, there was a spark. Chapter 93: The Ultimate Sword at the Wheel Challenge! Chapter 93: The Ultimate Sword at the Wheel Challenge!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Fight! With Yang Dingtians loud yell, the entire square became completely silent! Mrs. Ximen and Yanyan had gone back to their seats, and Ximen Ningning was already sitting beside Yanyan. Looking at how anxious and scared Yanyan was, Ningning held her ice-cold hands and said, Dumb girl, dont worry. I wont let anything happen to Little Tian. Yanyan immediately smiled at Ningning and said to Ximen Lie, Brother, if Yang Dingtians life is in danger, well take action and fight our way out of Cloud Sky City! Understood! Ximen Lie, who resembled a lion king, nodded. He focused all of his Xuan energy, brushed back his long, golden hair, and prepared to rush out and kill! ..... Swords have no eyes. Leave your life and death to God. Begin! Tang Boshao yelled and slammed his hands down! Exuding such a cold aura while using such a violent gesture, he signaled that someone must die in this match! Instantly, everyones hearts started palpitating, waiting for the fight to begin! Yang Dingtian held the Millennium Owl Gigantic Sword high up and gathered all of his Xuan energy, resembling a cheetah about to hunt down a human. He bent his body low and was prepared to rush out at any moment! He felt a threatening aura from Gan Lang as if the latter was a bloodthirsty wild beast. This person was not ordinary. He was extremely strong and extremely dangerous! S~?a??h the N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. So, Yang Dingtian had to wait for him to make the first move. He had to observe this persons style and decide on the actions to counter him! In the meantime, the body-ripping devil-like Gan Lang was standing lazily in the same spot without moving, doing nothing but lightly waving the sharp claws. His entire body from head to toe showed no signs of tension. He seemed relaxed as if he were just looking at the scenery. In this manner, he frightened people with a suffocating atmosphere! Currently, Gan Langs eyes were focused like a poisonous snake, staring at every inch of Yang Dingtians body. He was like a butcher carefully observing where he should put his knife before cutting. Regardless of the opponent, in front of this body-ripping devil, everyone was merely livestock to be slaughtered. From the move Yang Dingtian used to kill Sun Hao in a split second, Gan Lang had already determined his opponents capabilities, and it should be around the eight-star Xuan Martial Artist level. Gan Lang had already killed countless Xuan Martial Artists. His opponent was an eight or nine-star Xuan Martial Artist and was no different from a sheep to be slaughtered. As for Yang Dingtian having been able to break through dozens of levels in a mere five days, that meant he was a genius, but how would that affect Gan Lang? Could a genius not be killed? Could a geniuss body not be ripped apart? ..... Everyone held their breaths, waiting for the two of them to begin the fight. However, Yang Dingtian did not move. Gan Lang did not move either! No one felt that they were slacking off but felt a tense atmosphere instead. All those who were familiar with Gan Lang would know that he had a specialty in fights. He was quiet, poisonous, and quick! Quiet referred to his preference for not taking action at the beginning of a fight and instead standing there lazily to look for weaknesses in his opponent. His poisonous snake-like bloodthirsty gaze would often frighten his opponent and even cause them to collapse by itself. Poisonous referred to his extremely savage tactics once the fight begins. His methods were the most violent, the bloodiest, and never-failing! Quick referred to his lightning-fast movements that left his opponent completely unable to defend. He often ends the fight very quickly with basically just one deadly move. In addition, he would cause the most pitiful deaths, leaving his opponents without complete corpses after breaking them into eight pieces! Every fight was similar. Regardless of his opponent, the ending was eventually the same, even for the dozens of Xuan Martial Warriors he faced. The same was true even for Xuan Martial Warriors who were one level higher than Yang Dingtian! Therefore, this person was a perfect combination of violent wolf and poisonous snake! Therefore, it could be considered lucky that Gan Lang hadnt made a move. As soon as he does, there would be death with no exceptions! ***** Time passed bit by bit until everyone watching felt suffocated by the tension. Yang Dingtian instinctively felt the surroundings get colder and colder while Gan Langs gaze grew more and more bloodthirsty, more and more violent. Perceptive people would have noticed that the movements of the sharp claws that Gan Lang were holding were getting slower and slower, slower and slower! Qin Shaobais gaze narrowed as he was very familiar with this body-ripping devil, Gan Lang. This violent wild beast was about to make a move! Ohh.. Sure enough! There was a glimpse of a demonic glow in Gan Langs gaze, and then, his entire body rushed out at lightning speed. Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh.... The sharp claws in his hands were extremely fierce, and they rushed out towards Yang Dingtians chest! The sharp claws cut through the air, and a tearing sound was heard. The booming sounded like thunder! Yang Dingtian was instantly stunned and chilled! There were goosebumps all over his sweaty neck! He raised his sword in the air and sliced downwards, quickly attempting to block Gan Langs attack! However, it was too late! Gan Langs speed was way too fast, even faster than Yang Dingtian expected. Among all the martial arts in the world, only high speed was unbreakable! Whoosh...A few violent claws sliced into Yang Dingtians chest at lightning speed. Die.... Gan Lang used all of his strength and was about to tear Yang Dingtian into two pieces! Yang Dingtian is dead.... Qin Shaobai showed a glimpse of evil excitement. He was familiar with this scene as Gan Lang had ripped dozens of bodies like this without failing. Ahh... Everyone in the field shouted out of shock while some even closed their eyes, not bearing to watch the bloody scene where Yang Dingtians body was ripped apart. The fight had just begun, but it was about to end already? .... Yang Dingtians chest was pierced violently, and he instantly felt the excruciating pain as if his entire body was being torn apart. But, he was fine because he was wearing the Deep Sea Xuan Clothes! Although the claws were sharp, they were unable to pierce through the armor he wore. Dang... His Millennium Owl Gigantic Sword was aimed at Gan Langs sharp claws, and he sliced down towards it! A loud noise was heard! Both of them separated like lightning! .... From Gan Lang rushing out to the sharp claws piercing Yang Dingtians chest to Yang Dingtian slamming down his sword to finally both of them quickly separating, all of this happened in one second. In everyones eyes, both of them separated as soon as they came in contact! Yang Dingtian wasnt dead? Qin Shaobai had his eyes wide open. How was this possible? Gan Lang had never missed before, and his sharp claws had clearly pierced Yang Dingtians chest just now and tore it in two directions. How was Yang Dingtians body still in one piece? Everyone thought Yang Dingtian would definitely die this time but came to realize that he was still standing there in one piece. Yanyans body went so numb that she couldnt sit straight. She felt as if she had just survived a disaster. .... The one who truly felt like he just got his life back was Yang Dingtian. His entire body was ice-cold at the moment, and his clothes were soaking wet with his cold sweat. If it werent for the Deep Sea Xuan Clothes, he would be dead! Gan Langs actions were too quick, and his tactics were too strange, making it difficult for people to defend! This Gan Lang was different from other martial artists. What he learned wasnt martial art but the art of killing! His deadly specialty was his speed! His fighting ability had almost no relation to his Xuan energy! All the dozens of Xuan Martial Warriors who died under his hands were ripped apart violently! This was because the martial arts that they cultivated focused on Xuan energy, emphasizing speed and technique. It was the reason none of them could withstand Gan Langs violence and speed! Instantly, Yang Dingtian thought of a person, the Yin Yang Sects executioner, Wu Ying! He only learned sword arts and no Xuan skills. Wu Yings sword art cultivation had reached the peak where if he were to attack someone, even a Master-level elite wont be able to stop him. His sword had once chopped off the head of a Master! This Gan Lang standing before him was similar to Wu Ying! ... After backing off at lightning speed, Gan Lang stared at Yang Dingtians chest. And then, he let out a cold laugh. Its obvious that he knew why he hadnt managed to tear apart Yang Dingtians chest. IT was because the latter was wearing an unbreakable precious armor! Instantly, Gan Langs cold gaze moved to Yang Dingtians neck. Then, he moved the sharp claws in his hands! Your body is protected by the precious armor. How about your neck? It was obvious that his next attack would be aimed at Yang Dingtians neck. Yang Dingtians neck wasnt protected by the Deep Sea Xuan Clothes. If it was struck, then his neck along with his head would be torn from his body! Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and felt a burning pain in his throat! The movement of Gan Langs sharp claws was getting slower and slower again. It was obvious that he would be ready to attack any moment now. Yang Dingtian had to defend himself from that move, or hell definitely die! But, he had already tried his best just now and still couldnt stop Gan Lang from tearing into his chest. His speed wasnt as fast as Gan Langs. It was actually even way slower! What other technique could be used to make up for his insufficient speed!? Yang Dingtian was learning the worlds number one sword art! In this world, everyone was chasing higher Xuan Energy cultivation, and very few would focus on the mysteries of each sword technique. As a result, when they faced an opponent like Gan Lang, the dozens of Xuan Martial Warriors were all defenseless and ended up dying under his claws! But for Yang Dingtian, the sword art that he was learning, be it the Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword or the Pig Killing Swordsmanship, it was the most mysterious sword art in the world! Pig Killing Swordsmanship was the one and only of its kind in the world! His main concern right now was whether the mysteries of those techniques were able to make up for his speed deficiency. If they couldnt, Yang Dingtian would bleed out and die without a complete corpse! Everyone stared at Yang Dingtians neck as they knew that Gan Langs next move would be to behead him. Whether Yang Dingtian was able to block Gan Langs deadly attack, all of the disciples present dared not have high hopes. This was because Yang Dingtian couldnt block the first attack, which meant that he shouldnt be able to block the second attack either. ... The movement of the sharp claws in Gan Langs hand was getting slower and slower, slower and slower. Yang Dingtians breathing had nearly stopped, and of all the pores on his body were shut. He had gathered all his energy and focused all of his attention on Gan Langs next deadly move. If he couldnt block it, hed die! Whoosh..... Gan Lang rushed out fiercely with the sharp claws, aiming to tear Yang Dingtians neck! He was faster than before, sharper than before, and even more poisonous than before! The moment Gan Lang rushed out, the sword in Yang Dingtians hand swung out like water being splashed! The glow of the sword light shone in all directions. It was extremely fierce and mysterious! Sharp and spicy! The fourth move of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship: dig out the heart and lungs. He almost used his life as the price to observe Gan Langs move and dedicate this sword move to overcome this attack! If he managed to block, he would be able to fight back, would be able to win. If he failed to block, he would definitely die! Chapter 94: The Shocking Scene at the Wheel Challenge! Chapter 94: The Shocking Scene at the Wheel Challenge!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Gan Langs claws shot towards Yang Dingtians neck like blue lightning. It was extremely fast and tricky. As for Yang Dingtians sword, it was as if it had become shapeless, having turned into a mass of dark shadow. Both weapons were close to one another! It was as if the ice-cold grim reaper had descended! Yanyan felt that her heart was beating too fast and could barely breathe! Dang.... A sharp collision noise and there were sparks in the air. Everything stopped! Yang Dingtians sharp sword managed to block the tip of Gan Langs sharp claws that were only an inch from his neck. Yang Dingtians sword managed to block Gan Langs deadly strike! Yang Dingtian was managed to defend, even though Gan Langs second deadly attack was even faster and even more mysterious than the previous attack! Although the speed of his sword wasnt that fast compared to his opponents, the mysterious Pig Killing Swordsmanship was definitely capable of blocking the path of the sharp blade. It all happened too quickly, so many of the Cloud Sky City disciples didnt see it clearly! Looking at how his deadly attack had been blocked, Gan Lang was instantly shocked! How could it be? Even a Xuan Martial Warrior wasnt capable of blocking his sharp claws, so how could Yang Dingtian, a mere Xuan Martial Artist, possibly block it? Qin Shaobai, Yang Yan, and the others faces all changed! This was the era where all martial artists focused on cultivating Xuan energy and ignored techniques. Gan Lang had only focused on techniques and speed, so his sharp claws were deadly. For all martial artists below the rank of Great Xuan Martial Instructor, Gan Langs sharp claws were a horrifying existence. Of the hundreds of matches that Gan Lang had won, there were tons of opponents who were stronger than Yang Dingtian, but none of had them managed to block his attack. No, I dont believe...., Gan Lang thought in his heart. This must be an accident. He couldnt believe that a Xuan Martial Artist could block his sword. This must be a coincidence. Gan Langs gaze instantly turned insane. His speed and technique were his pride and faith. Now that Yang Dingtian had destroyed that belief, he immediately became more violent. Die..... A loud scream! Gan Lang immediately changed his technique, and the sharp claws in his hands were like a ghosts shadow, completely unpredictably snaking towards Yang Dingtians neck. Dang.... Yang Dingtians sword shook a little. There were fire sparks in the air, and his sword once again locked onto Gan Langs sharp claws, blocking their path. Yang Dingtian once again blocked it! Once may be a coincidence, but twice proved his capability! Red blood rushed into Gan Langs eyes, and his expression filled with unlimited anger! Ah.... Another scary growl. Gan Lang changed his technique again, attacking Yang Dingtians neck again. Yang Dingtians sword lightly shook a little once more, and he managed to block those sharp claws again. He changed his technique and was blocked. He changed technique and was blocked again! Seven times. Eight times. Nine times. Ten times! Yang Dingtian managed to block Gan Langs sharp claws every time, and it was getting easier with each iteration. Indeed, although Gan Langs speed was incomparably fast, and his techniques were extremely mysterious, when compared to the worlds number one Pig Killing Swordsmanship, they were nothing! As soon as you were able to see through his style and patterns, defending against this terrifying Gan Lang would become much easier! ..... At the moment, Qin Shaobais eyes were filled with disbelieving terror! Was this the legendary Pig Killing Swordsmanship? Why was it so powerful and mysterious in Yang Dingtians hands? Everyone in the world was learning martial arts, and most of them focused on Xuan energy with very few paying attention to techniques. But Yang Dingtian, who had no strong foundation, managed to use five days to break through over a dozen levels in Xuan energy and even had a terrifyingly incredible sword art! Qin Shaobai saw that many Cloud Sky City disciples were now showing immense respect towards him, and he felt a strong threat! It couldnt continue like this. He couldnt allow Yang Dingtian to give such an incredible performance! He needed to die! Instantly, Qin Shaobai stood up and said coldly, Gan Lang, is this all youve got? Where is your beast nature? Your violent bloodthirst? Gan Lang, whose dozens of moves had all been blocked by Yang Dingtian, was about to collapse. But as soon as he heard Qin Shaobais complaint, his gaze instantly glowed with an insane bloodthirsty aura. Then, his entire body filled with a dangerous aura! Die together, die together! Then, Gan Lang started to growl like a beast and used his sharp claws to cut his body. Instantly, fresh blood shot everywhere along with pieces of flesh! Everyone in the square was stunned! He was actually fiercely inflicting self-harm! Within seconds, Gan Lang was covered with blood! The curse of the bloodthirsty devil...., Gan Lang shouted out loud. Blood shot filled everything within several inches of his body. His body was suddenly one foot taller, and his arms were three inches thicker. Not good. This is a demonic beast transformation. He wants to die together with Yang Dingtian! Ximen Lies expression changed. He stood up, prepared to rush out and kill. But at the moment, the Gan Lang who had completely turned into a wild beast rushed madly towards Yang Dingtian like red lightning. There was no possible defense at all. He got close to Yang Dingtian, and his sharp claws ferociously sliced at him like a ghosts shadow. Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh..... Instantly, the entire scene became incredibly bloody. Yang Dingtian was surrounded by sharp claws and would be torn into mincemeat any moment now. Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang.... The most dangerous moment has arrived. Yang Dingtian focused all his attention and called on all of his Xuan energy! The sword in his hand was swaying back and forth to the extreme like the shine of countless stars over this bloody scene. Countless times, he blocked the ghostly shadow-like sharp claws of Gan Lang. Countless times, he blocked. Countless times, they collided. And countless times, they flew back and forth! The Pig Killing Swordsmanship was still incredibly powerful. Even though Gan Lang had undergone a demonic beast transformation that increased his capabilities tremendously, Yang Dingtian was still able to block his beast-like mad attacks. The demonic beast transformation couldnt last long. Yang Dingtian just had to defend for three minutes, and hell obtain victory! One minute passed ... Two minutes passed ... Yang Dingtians sword was still impenetrable, guarding every inch of his body. Everyone watching was stunned and extremely excited! Three minutes were about to pass, and Yang Dingtian was already able to see the glimpse of victory. However, the situation changed once again! Gan Lang growled, and the nails on his left arm grew out exactly half a foot longer. They were extremely sharp and extremely bloody! Then, he rushed at Yang Dingtian with sharp claws in both hands, wanting to slice him up! Instantly, Yang Dingtians entire body was surrounded by a pair of sharp claws! Regardless of how incredible his sword art was, he could only block one of his opponents sharp claws! Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh.... In almost the blink of an eye, Yang Dingtian felt the pain in his body. He was successively cut five times by Gan Lang, and his body was instantly covered in blood! Five injuries, each almost a foot long exposing the bone beneath! Fortunately, Gan Langs nails were not as sharp as the cold metal claws. Otherwise, his entire arm wouldve been completely destroyed. In just one second, Yang Dingtian had suffered five deep cuts. Meanwhile, the demonic beast-like Gan Lang kept striking at Yang Dingtians head with the bloody claws in his left hand. The head was different from the arm. Any injury could easily become fatal! It couldnt continue like this, or else he would really die together with this wild beast! If nothing changed, in just another 30 seconds, Yang Dingtian would definitely be dead! Yang Dingtian swung his arm, and a Flame Feather appeared in his left hand! Master, help me! Yang Dingtian shouted in his heart! Instantly, Dongfang Niemies consciousness expanded, and he used all of his energy to split Yang Dingtians consciousness into two! Yang Dingtian needed to multitask! One person with two hands had to use two different sword arts at the same time to defend himself from both of Gan Langs sharp claws! Of course, Gan Lang was also using two sharp claws to attack. However, he wasnt using any techniques. He had gone completely mad like a demon and was madly attacking based on the instincts of a wild beast. But, Yang Dingtian required a unique sword art to defend, and both of his hands must be using different sword techniques! Having different hands using different sword techniques was an almost impossible task, no matter who it was. This was because people had only one mind and shouldnt be able to control both hands to perform different sword techniques, especially unique sword techniques. In the first place, it was already difficult to use both hands to write at the same time. So, how hard would it be to use different hands to execute different techniques of the most difficult and mysterious sword art? S~?a??h the N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. But if he didnt do so, he wouldnt be able to block the body-ripping demon-like Gan Langs final attack and would die together with him. Whoosh..... In less than half a second, Yang Dingtian felt a burning sensation on his neck. He had suffered another deep wound from Gan Langs claws. The injury was only one centimeter from his carotid artery! The grim reaper was getting closer and closer to Yang Dingtian! Ah..., Yang Dingtian yelled, and his expression changed. Under the guidance of his masters consciousness, hed split the consciousness of his mind into two. He used one to control each of his hands with each one performing a completely different sword technique! At this moment, an incredible scene appeared! Both of Yang Dingtians hands were using different sword techniques, and they were both incredibly mysterious and powerful techniques! He did it! He really did it! The Simultaneous Left and Right Hand Sword Art! In an instant, the dangerous situation he was locked in was resolved! Gan Langs, the wild beasts sharp blades were blocked! Yang Dingtians sword, like two devilish hands, trapped Gan Lang. Even if he used all of his energy, he would be unable to escape from it! Everyone was completely shocked by what happened! Using both hands to perform different sword techniques was an awe-inspiring scene that was unheard of in this world that emphasized Xuan Energy cultivation. All of the Cloud Sky City disciples were completely shocked! At first, Yang Dingtian spent five days to break through over a dozen levels in Xuan energy, which was already extremely shocking. Now that he performed so incredibly, they had finally recognized him! This was the successor that City Lord Ximen chose? He really was too powerful, too awe-inspiring. Their self-sacrificing City Lord Ximen really had good judgment! At the moment, even Qin Shaobai and Yang Yan were completely frightened! After Gan Langs demonic beast transformation, they thought that Yang Dingtian would definitely die! In addition, Yang Dingtian was truly injured several times within a few seconds and had nearly lost his life! If that had continued, Yang Dingtian would have ended up torn to pieces within minutes. But who could have expected such a shocking phenomenon to happen!? Yang Dingtian actually performed so well with his Simultaneous Left and Right Hand Sword Art that Qin Shaobai was once again frightened. Meanwhile, Yanyans eyes were glued to the scene! This is my man? This is really my man? He is really so frightening and powerful? .... Its time to end it...., Yang Dingtian shouted! Wild beast, Gan Lang, you can die now! Youve ripped countless bodies into pieces, so Ill let you experience the feeling of being ripped apart! Left-hand sword, Pig Killing Swordsmanships third move: Chop off the head! Right-hand sword, Xu Wu Nine Disaster Swords eighth disaster: Nirvana! At this time, Yang Dingtians performance had reached its climax! His left-hand sword was like meteor in the sky flashing through the night while his right hand sword was like the glorious starry sky! His body and his sword turned into a ray of light that rushed towards the wild beast-like Gan Lang! Both swords emitted a horrifying light and swept ferociously towards Gan Lang, cutting into him! Chapter 95: Killing Gan Lang! The Final Opponent! Chapter 95: Killing Gan Lang! The Final Opponent!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian slammed into Gan Lang like a cannonball. Both of Gan Langs claws were right before his very eyes, and they were still bloody. But, in Yang Dingtians eyes, they werent threats. He had managed to see through Gan Langs techniques! He used the sword in his right hand to lock down Gan Langs right claw and used the Flame Feather in his left hand to chop it off! The third move of Pig Killing Swordsmanship: chop off the head. Whoosh....Blood spurted madly, and Gan Langs huge arm was chopped off, flying dozens of meters away. Gan Lang, having already turned into a demonic beast, felt no pain and continued to rush towards Yang Dingtian with only one arm. His bloody claw was aiming at Yang Dingtians eyes. The Eighth Disaster of the Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword: Nirvana! Yang Dingtians right-hand sword swung towards Gan Langs bloody claw like the starry stars, like a rainstorm. Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh... His sword blossomed, and blood spurt all around effusively. Gan Langs bloody claw and his left arm were destroyed inch by inch, and exploded inch by inch until it was all gone. In less than half a second, it completely shattered, turning into bloody mud. Then, Yang Dingtian stabbed his right-hand sword into Gan Langs chest, piercing through his heart instantly. Red light flashed from the Flame Feather in his left hand. The third move of Pig Killing Swordsmanship: chop off the head. Instantly, Gan Langs huge head flew into the sky, and blood shot out of his neck, spurting dozens of meters away. The Eighth Disaster of the Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword: Nirvana! The right-hand sword that was pierced into Gan Langs chest shook a little, and an array of sword flower glows came out. Bang..... The sound of an explosion boomed. The sword flower had bloomed to its extreme! Gan Langs huge body was blown up, completely shattered! Just like what Yang Dingtian said, this body-ripping devil had killed countless people in his life! Today, he let him have a taste of having his own body shattered! ... As the countless bloody flowers fell, Yang Dingtian avoided all of them with lightning-fast speed, avoiding the blood rain. He then gradually sheathed his sword. The few thousand disciples watching were all silent at first but then suddenly started to cheer. Countless disciples were chanting Yang Dingtians name and were staring at Yang Dingtian with fiery gazes. From this match, Yang Dingtian obtained the recognition from countless numbers of Cloud Sky City disciples, even though his cultivation might be lower than those in this crowd. However, his amazing performance was definitely enough to earn the respect of anyone! As for Elder Yang Yan and the rest on the higher stage, their faces had become incredibly serious and furious! Qin Shaobai had completely lost his arrogant attitude. He sat in his seat with an ice-cold face and stared at Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian turned around to look upward at Yang Yan. The second match of the Wheel Challenge had ended. There was one more match left, and as long as he won, Yang Dingtian would achieve victory today. Then, he would be able to participate in the Grand Finale Competition for the position of City Lord. Now, the main concern was: who would be the third person to challenge Yang Dingtian? In order to kill him, Qin Shaobai had placed the powerful Gan Lang in the bottom ten rankings. That was already considered his backup plan. No one had ever thought that Yang Dingtian would break through and become a Xuan Martial Artist in five days, but Qin Shaobai had still prepared Gan Lang as a precaution. However, the fact that Gan Lang would lose to Yang Dingtian was completely out of Qin Shaobais expectations. He never even thought of the possibility. Now that Gan Lang was dead, had Yang Yan, Tang Boshao, and the rests plan failed? Did they have another chess piece with which to kill Yang Dingtian? ... Tang Boshao hadnt recovered from the terror, but he still walked out and said coldly, Yang Dingtian has obtained victory for the second match. Now, who is willing to be the third challenger? Get on the stage to fight. As long as you beat him, you will be able to stay in Cloud Sky City. After he finished speaking, Tang Boshao looked towards the remaining eight people. Of the original ten, two had been killed by Yang Dingtian. Hearing Tang Boshao, not one of the remaining eight spoke up. None of them stepped out! Who is willing to be the third challenger to fight Yang Dingtian? Tang Boshao asked again. Still, no one answered. It looked like everyone was afraid of him. If no one came out to challenge Yang Dingtian, then he would win the Wheel Challenge by default. Although Tang Boshao really didnt want to see such a scenario, he had no choice but to say, Ill count to five. If no one steps up, then Yang Dingtian will win! Five! Four! The entire square was in complete silence. Everyone was staring at the eight remaining people to see if anyone would accept the challenge. Three! Two! S~?a??h the N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. One! Ill challenge. Ill challenge Yang Dingtian! Suddenly, a tall figure walked out from the eight. Everyone was shocked! Who was this person?! Gan Lang was so powerful and still died under Yang Dingtians sword. Who was this person that dared to challenge him? This person wore long black robes, held a sword in his hand, and walked up to the stage. Although he couldnt clearly see his face, Yang Dingtian got a sense of familiarity from this person. Yang Dingtian, I remember that Ive told you before that I will not let you go. That person took off his robes, exposing his handsome and cold face. It was Tang Li, Tang Boshaos son! The moment Tang Li revealed himself, everyone made shocked sounds! Shameless..... This time, it wasnt just Yanyan and Mrs. Ximen who were furious but the thousands of Cloud Sky City disciples. How could this person be so shameless as to come on stage?! They actually prepared a second chess piece to kill Yang Dingtian! Tang Li, a handsome youth of Cloud Sky City, was a Four-star Xuan Martial Warrior. Among all the youth in their 20s, he was ranked first. How could it be possible for him to have failed in the elimination battle? A Four-star Xuan Martial Warrior was exactly five ranks higher than Yang Dingtian! It was not just a five-rank difference. The most deadly aspect was that it was a cross-realm fight! Xuan Martial Artist was one realm while Xuan Martial Warrior was another. As long as it was a cross-realm fight, it would be impossible to obtain victory. Even if Tang Li was merely a One-star Xuan Martial Warrior, his Xuan energy would be several times that of Yang Dingtian, not to mention the fact that he was a Four-star Xuan Warrior. If I dont come back, you would have really been kicked out from Cloud Sky City. Your dad has really sacrificed a lot to kill me, Yang Dingtian said. Ive intended to leave Cloud Sky City anyways because I will soon become the son-in-law of the Northwest Qin Family, Tang Li said coldly. Then, he pulled out his long sword and said, Okay, cut all the nonsense. Draw your sword! ...... Shameless! Ximen Lie shouted as he pulled out his sword. He looked at Elder Yang Yan and said, Elder, you all dont even want to keep your face just to kill Yang Dingtian? In front of thousands of Cloud Sky City disciples, you present such an evil and shameless show? Yang Yans facial muscle twitched a little, and he said coldly, I have no clue what is happening. But, there arent any rules that dont allow Tang Li to challenge Yang Dingtian. Ximen Lie burst into anger. He turned over to face the thousands of disciples and said, All of Cloud Sky Citys disciples, are you all willing to just watch such a horrible event take place? Are you all just going to watch how Cloud Sky Citys prestige is destroyed? Do you all agree with this shameless match? Tang Lis appearance had already made all those disciples furious. Now that Ximen Lie had fanned the flames, most of them stood up instantly and said, We object! Shameless, shameless.... After someone started, more and more people gradually expressed their opposition. Tang Boshaos expression changed as he said, What now? Are you all going to rebel? Sit back down immediately! However, no one sat down. Thousands of disciples stood up straight, protesting towards the Elder, fighting for justice on behalf of Yang Dingtian! Tang Boshao looked at Yang Yan and the furious crowd. He was afraid of offending either. He took a deep breath and said, Tang Li, why did you use such an evil tactic to fight Yang Dingtian? Give everyone a reason! Tang Lis face turned cold and said, I am not fighting him. This is a life-and-death battle for us. This is because Yang Dingtian killed my best friend, Yang Qi, and I am about to take revenge for him! After he finished talking, everyones expressions changed. Yang Dingtians heart also sunk! Yang Qi was the son of the Yang family who everyone paid attention to. He had gone missing for a few days, and now, Tang Li said that Yang Dingtian killed him. If so, Tang Li truly did have a solid reason to fight Yang Dingtian. Instantly, all of the Cloud Sky City disciples went quiet. Hahaha.... Ximen Lie laughed: Tang Li, you say that Yang Dingtian killed Yang Qi. Where is the evidence? Tang Li laughed and said, Six days ago, Yang Qi found out that Yang Dingtian was going into the Red Wilds to hunt demonic beasts, so he went to make trouble for him. Then, Yang Dingtian came back, but Yang Qi didnt. Furthermore, his body wasnt found. Who would it be if not Yang Dingtian? Joke..., Ximen Lie laughed and said. Yang Dingtian was just an enlightener back then, and Yang Qi was way stronger than him. To say that Yang Dingtian killed Yang Qi, who would believe you? Tang Li laughed. Today, before Yang Dingtian killed Gan Lang, who would have believed it! Their verbal battle was getting more and more intense! Finally, Ximen Lie drew his sword. Mrs. Ximen drew her sword, and Ximen Yanyan also drew her sword. On the opposite side, Tang Boshao, Tang Xin, Ximen Yan, and the dozens of people under the Elder all drew their swords. They were about to fight right in front of thousands of Cloud Sky City disciples! Both parties were ready to fight! Who dares to interfere...? Suddenly, Yang Yan shouted. Instantly, as if lightning had struck, all of the surrounding noise disappeared! Then, Elder Yang Yan walked into the sage and said towards Yang Dingtian, Yang Qi was my grandchild. Tang Li said that you killed him. How about you tell me? Did you kill him or not? Yang Dingtian shook his head. Okay then, in the name of City Lord Ximen, make an oath saying that you didnt kill Yang Qi. If you lie, then City Lord Ximens soul would not be at peace down there, Yang Yan said. Yang Dingtian remained silent. Yang Yan said, You have only two options now. The first is to prove your innocence. The second is to battle Tang Li! Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, I did not kill Yang Qi, but I will not use uncle Ximens prestigious name to make an oath, so I choose to battle Tang Li. But I have only one request. If I win, please return Yanyans Feng Yan sword! Yang Yan was shocked. Agreed! Immediately, Yang Dingtian faced Yang Li and gradually drew his strange Millennium Owl Sword, welcoming the last match of the day. The Strange Millennium Owl Sword was qualified to be listed as one of the worlds Divine Swords! Now, the battle will begin! Chapter 96: The Battle with Tang Li, Kill! Chapter 96: The Battle with Tang Li, Kill!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales The level of Tang Lis Xuan energy should be around five times Yang Dingtians. His speed should also be twice Yang Dingtians. So, this battle was completely different from the previous battle with Gan Lang. Gan Langs unique characteristic was his speed, tricks, and deadly cunning. Under the circumstances in which his opponent wasnt prepared, he killed over dozens of Xuan Martial Warriors. However, as long as one perceived his patterns, dealing with him would be very easy. After Yang Dingtian saw through his tricks just now, fighting against him became much easier. In only a few seconds, he was ripped into pieces by Yang Dingtian. But its different for Tang Li. The most obvious differences between him and Yang Dingtian were their strength and speed. Such a difference was very difficult to overcome relying only on the uniqueness of ones techniques. This was because Xuan energy was king in the world and represented a persons true strength! Therefore, this battle would be much more difficult than the match with Gan Lang! Because this match was an absolute confrontation of Xuan energy! The five times gap was way too difficult to overcome! ***** Yang Dingtian, if I were you, I would have definitely made that bloody oath using Ximen Wuyas name. Hes dead anyway, so what if he were to be slashed a thousand times in hell? Tang Li said softly so that only Yang Dingtian could hear him. You are too dumb. Elder Yang Yan saw this stupidity of yours and came out with this condition. And then, you really did come and seek death. Tang Li did not immediately start the battle with Yang Dingtian but talked to him first. Despite how furious Yang Dingtian was in his heart, he ignored him and only stared at him coldly like a beast that was getting ready to attack. Let me tell you, Yang Qi was nothing, and his death doesnt concern me. That dumb thing offended many people, and no one knows who killed him. I personally dont think that you killed him since you were only an enlightener at the time. Tang Li laughed and said, I am killing you solely because of Qin Shaobai. Because I am about to become the son-in-law of Northwest Qin family. Yang Dingtian still ignored him. Dont worry, after you die, Qin Shaobai will personally take care of your Ximen Yanyan on your behalf. After he had enough of her, he will give her to his brother, Qin Huaiyu to show their brotherhood. Tang Li continued, Unfortunately, there wont be my share. I have been eyeing Ximen Yanyan for many years and I remember peeking at her when she was showering a few times. I was beaten terribly after getting caught. After Qin Shaobai sleeps with Ximen Yanyan, Ill beg him to let me see Ximen Yanyans huge buttocks and even touch it a little since I was the one who killed you! Yang Dingtians breathing became rough, and he became furious. He initially thought that he wouldnt get angry no matter what poisonous provocations were sent his way. But when this beast said such insulting words about Yanyan, Yang Dingtian couldnt help but get angry. It seems like that only one of us will leave alive today, Yang Dingtian said coldly: If its not you who dies, then itll be me. Tang Li laughed and said, I told you in front of the Hidden Art Pavilion that I will definitely kill you. Cut all the nonsense. Lets fight! ..... Kill! Kill! Tang Li was holding a hundred-kilogram gigantic bloody sword. Besides being a Four-star Xuan Martial Warrior, he was also extremely strong. Therefore, his playing around with the gigantic bloody sword was shocking for everyone present. The sound of it whistling through the air was like the cry of a ghost or the howl of a wolf, instilling fear in everyone. Meanwhile, the three-foot-long strange blade with a weird shape in Yang Dingtians hand looked like a twisted piece of iron and was not intimidating at all. On appearances alone, the two weapons seemed to be completely the opposite in quality. The strange blade in Yang Dingtians hand seemed like it wasnt even qualified to carry shoes for Tang Lis bloody sword. A loud noise was heard. Both Tang Li and Yang Dingtian slammed against one another like Mars crashing into the earth. The solid ground broke, and shattered rock flew out. Bang... There was a hole in Tang Lis gigantic bloody blade, but he did not move even a little, and his expression did not change either! As for Yang Dingtian, he took dozens of steps back and coughed out a mouthful of blood. The moment both weapons met, an incredible Xuan energy flowed through Yang Dingtians sword and rushed into his body. Instantly, his chest felt like itd been hit by a gigantic piece of rock, causing all the veins in his body to feel like they were about to tear apart. All of his bones felt like they were broken, causing him to feel excruciating pain. For the first move, Yang Dingtian actually chose to face him directly! Everyone looked at Yang Dingtian in disbelief, not understanding this decision because his strength was in his sword arts. Why didnt he use his mysterious sword art to fight but used Xuan energy instead? It was obviously using ones weakness to fight against anothers strength. Yang Dingtian had done it on purpose to test how powerful Tang Lis Xuan energy was. He wanted to see how strong of a Xuan energy attack his body was capable of withstanding. Now, the result of the test was out. Seeing how Yang Dingtian merely took dozens of steps back and coughed up some blood after taking his full power attack, Tang Li was shocked by Yang Dingtians unexpected sturdiness. Originally, based on the difference between their cultivation levels, Yang Dingtians Xuan veins shouldve been all been shattered, and his organs should have been pulverized into paste. You could withstand one of my strikes, but how about ten or twenty? Tang Li said coldly. Then, he concentrated all of his Xuan energy into the bloody sword again. In an instant, there was blood-red light glowing on the gigantic bloody blade. It looked extremely violent and arrogant. The Mad Sword of the Devil...., Tang Li shouted out loud, and his sword swept forward towards Yang Dingtian, looking extremely fierce. The fourth move of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship: Dig out the heart and lungs! The strange sword in Yang Dingtians hands moved like a poisonous snake, welcoming Tang Lis bloody sword. This Dig out the heart and lungs move could not only block the opponents blade but also divert the direction of the weapon and disperse its energy quickly. Instantly, Yang Dingtians sword struck Tang Lis bloody sword. Yang Dingtians wrist trembled as he attempted to disperse the energy in Tang Lis sword. However, an incredibly powerful Xuan energy rushed into his body. Boom...Yang Dingtians body violently bounced dozens of steps back, and he coughed up another mouthful of blood. Yang Dingtians plan failed as Xuan energy wasnt strength but instantly transferred energy. It could never be completely dispersed! Xuan energy was truly the king. This huge Xuan energy between them was difficult to overcome using technique alone. ..... After taking two of Tang Lis move, Yang Dingtian had really coughed out two mouthfuls of blood. All of the watching disciples showed their worry on their faces! Their overzealous minds instantly became clear. There was no doubt that Yang Dingtians performance was incredible. However, he was merely a Xuan Martial Artist, and his mysterious techniques wont be of much use here. Xuan energy was everything in this world of martial arts. Hence, they shouldnt have such high expectations of him due to the previous performance. Yang Dingtian swallowed a mouthful of boiling blood and stared at the arrogant Tang Li standing before him. The difference in Xuan energy was really difficult to overcome. ... You have no hope, Tang Li laughed and said. In this world, no one is able to win a cross-realm battle! No doubt, in the past hundred years, no one has ever won a cross-realm battle. The most notable victory across realms happened 300 years ago. It was a battle between the Wooden Sword Fortress Lord, Li Tianxiao, and the third son of the Northwest Qin family. Li Tianxiao was exactly one level and a dozen ranks lower than the third son of the Qin family, but he eventually won the battle and killed his opponent. But that was because Li Tianxiao was enchanted, and he became the greatest traitor of the league of Heavens Order! ..... Yang Dingtian wiped off the blood at the edge of his mouth! In the first test, he coughed up a mouthful of blood. In the second exchange, his attempt to use the mysterious sword art to neutralize Tang Lis sword failed, and he coughed up more blood. He tested the waters twice and coughed up blood twice! However, those exchanges allowed Yang Dingtian to understand Tang Lis style, combat pattern, and his Sword of the Devil art! Now, the last exchange was about to begin! The final exchange was also going to be the most dangerous way! He had to work his way through close combat! He had to close in on Yang Li and use the mysterious sword art to take his life! Based on the observation of two of his moves, Yang Dingtian realized that Tang Lis Sword of the Devil art was truly arrogant. Any attack he launched could multiply a few times with the addition of only a little bit of Xuan energy. But technique-wise, it was considered easy and completely straightforward to execute! Thus, as soon as Yang Dingtian closed in, he would use his sword art to neutralize the Sword of the Devil art. But obviously, this move was incredibly dangerous because if he was cut by Tang Li, he would definitely die! Yang Dingtian was able to block Gan Langs sword but not Tang Lis. This was because Tang Lis Xuan energy was several times greater than his. He simply didnt have the strength to block it. As soon as he got close, Tang Li would be able to pierce his body no matter how mysterious his sword art was compared to Tang Lis simple swordsmanship. Yang Dingtians sword wont be able to block it. As a result, Yang Dingtians final move would be reborn from certain death! Huuu...Yang Dingtian let out a long breath and stared at Tang Li, who was twenty meters away. He needed to formulate another attack, another perfect attack. As soon as he fails or makes any mistakes, he would be the one to end up dead! A few seconds later, Yang Dingtians brain had already planned out dozens of sword art combinations! If he didnt predict Tang Lis move incorrectly, his sword art attack might be effective! Then, the only thing that remained to do was to get within three steps of Tang Li, at least within striking distance with his sword! Closing in on Tang Li would probably be the most difficult and most dangerous part. This was because Tang Lis speed was twice Yang Dingtians, and his Xuan energy was five times his. The method that Yang Dingtian chose to close in was to....slowly walk to him! Indeed, the plan was to slowly and righteously walk up to him! He would close in on Tang Li step by step. Instantly, the screams of the spectators could be heard. Had Yang Dingtian gone mad? This was completely a suicide action. Walking over like that would allow Tang Li to attack him at any time. With his target moving so slowly, Tang Li could cut him down whenever he wanted. Just like that, Yang Dingtian walked step-by-step towards Tang Li. Of course, the arrogant Tang Li did not attack but held his bloody sword while showing a cold smile. Soon, they were only one meter apart, the length of a sword. Tang Lis laughter became more and more violent, and he gradually raised his sword. Yang Dingtian slowly inserted all of his Xuan energy into the strange Millennium Owl Blade. The strange blade immediately started vibrating, increasing the potency of the Xuan energy within by twenty percent. Let me tell you something, Yang Dingtian suddenly said. Speak, this will be your last chance to do so. Tang Li smiled. I killed Yang Qi. I killed him when I was practicing in the wilds. Then, I threw him into the magma abyss, destroying his body...., Yang Dingtian said in a soft voice that could only be heard by Tang Li. Tang Li was shocked as Yang Dingtian was just an enlightener at that time. He really did somehow kill Yang Qi! Thus, Tang Lis thoughts were confused for a second! Yang Dingtians gaze turned cold, and at that moment, he attacked! Bang.....Yang Dingtian exploded like a beast. An incredibly blinding light shot out of the strange Millennium Owl blade in his hands. The first move of Pig Killing Swordsmanship: Stab the throat and deplete the blood! Yang Dingtians sword was as quick as a shooting star, using energy from both hands to pierce towards Tang Lis neck! Tang Li was shocked! This time, he seemed to choose to retreat as he was much faster than Yang Dingtian! But, he didnt! He performed an amazing move and avoided Yang Dingtians throat piercing sword! Then, he immediately counterattacked. The bloody sword in his hands slanted and swept towards Yang Dingtians waist. It was an incredibly sharp and violent sword! Yang Dingtian should have retreated, but he didnt! Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword: Selfless! Instantly, the sword in his hands became solid and majestic. Not only did he not retreat, but he even seemed to welcome Tang Lis bloody sword! Be reborn from death. This was his being reborn after death! S~?a??h the N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The seventh move of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship: Break into two pieces! Under the shocked gazes of everyone, Yang Dingtian slammed into Tang Lis bloody sword like a martyr with his gigantic Millennium Owl Sword still aimed towards Tang Lis chest. The sharp sword sliced down, and a mass of light burst out of the gigantic Millennium Owl Sword. This was the time to kill Tang Li! Whether he was able to kill Tang Li or not depended on this moment! Yang Dingtian had bet his life. Hed shown the sign of willing to die together with his opponent as he put in all his effort towards attacking Tang Li. Bang.... Tang Lis sword cut Yang Dingtians belly. Meanwhile, Yang Dingtians sword also cut violently into Tang Lis chest. Whoosh.....Blood spurted, and Yang Dingtians body flew dozens of meters away and slammed onto the ground! While Tang Li was still standing at the same place, his chest was a little torn and was bleeding! There was absolute silence as everyone stared at the shocking scene! Be reborn after death. Yang Dingtian had bet his life to attack Tang Li. Now, he was about to succeed! Everyone was waiting for Tang Li to fall, waiting for Yang Dingtian to create another miracle! Tang Li looked down at the bloody wound on his chest. His eyes, hands, his entire body trembled. One second! Two seconds..... Three seconds... Everyone was waiting for him to fall! Hahahahah.....Suddenly, Tang Li burst into laughter, and he tore his clothes apart, revealing his muscular upper body and a golden net shirt! Yang Dingtian, its not just you who has a protective treasure. I have one as well! Tang Li laughed and said, But your weapon is really powerful. It even broke my Xuan Iron Clothes, penetrated half an inch into my chest, and broke five of my ribs! Tang Li laughed as he coughed and spurted blood! Be reborn after death. You are truly determined and really amazing..., Tang Li said: If I didnt have the Xuan Iron clothes, Im afraid that I wouldve really died under your sword. But, you didnt manage to kill me. So now, it is your turn to die! Tang Lis gaze was filled with anger and killing intent. Then, he brandished his bloody blade and slowly walked towards Yang Dingtian. He was about to rip Yang Dingtians body into pieces. Although Yang Dingtians deadly sword attack didnt manage to kill him, he was heavily injured like never before, so much so that his cultivation progress would stagnate for two years. Tang Li was taking the steps of a grim reaper, getting closer to Yang Dingtian step by step with a killing aura. After twenty steps, Tang Li was finally standing in front of Yang Dingtian. He said softly, You can die peacefully. We will take care of Ximen Yanyan and Ximen Ningning for you, take care of them in bed. Now, you can die... After he finished speaking, Tang Li used all of his strength and was about to slam his sword down. Hold on, we admit our defeat.... Yanyan rushed out and shouted, Stop, well leave Cloud Sky City! Tang Lis sword stopped immediately, waiting for Yang Yans order. Yang Yan Elder frowned a little and said, Its too late to admit your defeat now! Yang Dingtian, die...., Tang Li yelled as he aimed at his neck and slammed his sword down! No....., Yanyan screamed and was about to faint! At this exact moment, Yang Dingtian suddenly opened his eyes, and his sword struck out like a poisonous snake. I said be reborn after death, and I was referring to this moment! I knew that you were wearing a protecting shield! Chapter 97: The Destruction of Tang Li! The Final Victory Chapter 97: The Destruction of Tang Li! The Final VictoryTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Tang Lis face was shocked as he saw how Yang Dingtian was still fine. How is that possible? He had inserted all of his Xuan energy into that strike just now, and I had directly cut along the Sea of Energy at Yang Dingtians belly. How could he still be fine? For a martial artist, the most important part of the body wasnt their chest or their throat but their belly. That was because that was where the Sea of Energy lay. As soon as it suffers an attack by powerful Xuan energy, the Sea of Energy would be immediately destroyed, breaking all the Xuan veins in the body. At that time, even if one was not dead, one would definitely be more suffering than death. Tang Li had placed all his energy in that sword, and Yang Dingtians Sea of Energy should have been destroyed. How was he still fine? Of course, Yang Dingtian was alright because he was wearing the Deep Sea Xuan Shirt. The most remarkable part of the shirt was that it could not be penetrated by anything and was also able to withstand great Xuan Energy attacks. Although Tang Lis cut on Yang Dingtians belly was violent, most of the Xuan energy was absorbed by the Deep Sea Xuan Shirt, and only a little entered Yang Dingtians body. Just a little! ... Seeing Yang Dingtians strange sword piercing towards his body like a poisonous snake, Tang Li was scared until he almost lost his soul. At such a close distance while he was defenseless, Yang Dingtians sharp and mysterious sword pierced forward. Recoiling in horror, Tang Li used his sword to block Yang Dingtians sword as quickly as possible. Yang Dingtian bounced up and flipped over Tang Li like a beast. Horrified, Tang Li couldnt help but retreat. The sword in Yang Dingtians hand stabbed over like a storm. Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword: Being. Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword: Boundless. Instantly, Tang Lis entire body was trapped in Yang Dingtians sword light. Initially, he kept blocking, but the difference in sword art level was huge. So, he kept retreating, retreating, retreating quickly, and nearly escaped. In the eyes of the audience, there was a turnaround in the situation. Tang Li, who was winning at first, was now being cornered by Yang Dingtian. The injury on his chest was bad. A few of his bones were broken, and as he retreated at high speed, blood spurted out. Large amounts of his Xuan energy leaked away. If this continued, his speed would slow down in no time, and Yang Dingtian would be able to stab his chest and kill him. But at this moment, Tang Boshao suddenly shouted out strictly, Tang Li, why are you running? Your Xuan energy is still way stronger than his. Why are you running? Tang Lis body trembled instantly. Yes, why was he running away? Even though hes injured, his Xuan energy was still much stronger than Yang Dingtians. Knowing that his opponents sword art was incredible, why should he compete with him in that? The reason Tang Li was acting like this was because he was really scared by Yang Dingtian. The wound on his chest was frightening as well. Thus, he had suddenly lost his rationality in response. After he was yelled at by his father, he instantly came to his senses. He gathered all of his Xuan energy and bounced. Instantly, his body shot back dozens of meters like from a slingshot, escaping Yang Dingtians scary sharp sword. Yang Dingtian had lost the chance to kill him. However, Yang Dingtian did not chase but stared at the wound on his chest. Then, he stood still coldly! .... Tang Li, who had retreated dozens of steps, was holding the bloody sword in his hands and looked down at the wound on his chest. He took out a pill and swallowed it. The blood around the wound instantly hardened. He knew that he needed to quickly end this battle! Yang Dingtian, I will not give you any more time, and I will not give you any more chances. Three cuts determine life or death! Tang Li said, Your trick had really messed up my mind just now! Now, well use Xuan energy to speak, and youll definitely be dead! After he finished talking, Tang Li rushed towards Yang Dingtian and slammed his sword down. He did so using the greatest amount of Xuan energy, the greatest amount of strength! Yang Dingtian raised his gigantic Millennium Owl Sword to block! Dang.... A loud sound boomed, and Tang Lis bloody sword slammed against Yang Dingtians sword. Yang Dingtians body trembled, and the slates under his foot cracked. Blood spurted out of his mouth. Tang Lis full power slam was really powerful and caused Yang Dingtian internal injury. The second sword! A loud yell and Tang Lis violent sword slammed down once again! Yang Dingtians gigantic sword managed to withstand the sword again. Bang... A loud sound! Yang Dingtians body went low. Both of his sleeves were torn, and wounds peppered both his arms, from which blood flowed out. Blood spurted out from his mouth like an arrow, from his nose and even from his ears. After putting up such a fierce resistance, it was as if Yang Dingtian had reached his limit! It seemed like Yang Dingtian would fall with a little more force. It seemed like Yang Dingtian wouldnt be able to withstand the final sword! Everyone watching was worried for Yang Dingtian, and all of their faces turned pale with shock. Yanyan drew her sharp sword and was about to rush out to the battleground. Dont go...Ningning held onto Yanyan and said, Dont worry, when he slams his sword for the third time, Tang Li will die! How is that possible? It is Yang Dingtian who is about to be killed! Yanyan said. Trust me, Ningning said gently. ... At the moment, seeing how Yang Dingtian was covered in blood, especially his entire face, and had serious injuries, Tang Li laughed violently. After the final sword, Yang Dingtian, you will be dead. Instantly, Tang Lis body bounced up and inserted all of his Xuan energy into the bloody sword. His bloody sword was filled with fresh blood. This was Tang Lis final sword strike, and he used all of his Xuan energy. It was going to be a deadly strike at Yang Dingtian. Die....., Tang Li shouted like thunder. Then, his bloody sword sliced towards the top of Yang Dingtians head with extreme killing intent! Not knowing why, Tang Lis expression suddenly changed, and his gaze turned strange. Many couldnt bear to watch Yang Dingtian be sliced in two and shut their eyes. Yang Dingtian raised his Gigantic Millennium Owl Sword and said seriously, This... is also the last attack for me to kill you! Die! Yang Dingtian shouted. s?a??h th? N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. He held the Gigantic Millennium Owl Sword with both of his hands, welcoming Tang Lis bloody sword. Dang.... A loud noise and both swords clashed. There were blinding fire sparks that flew out. Tang Lis bloody sword broke and was knocked away. After Yang Dingtians Gigantic Millennium Owl Sword broke the bloody sword, it immediately sliced through Tang Lis neck. Tang Lis head was about to fly into the air just like Gan Langs. However, Yang Dingtian did not do so but placed his Gigantic Millennium Owl Sword on Tang Lis neck. He did not chop off his head. I wont kill you. Its better to let you become a cripple, Yang Dingtian said coldly. Bang! Then, he struck Tang Lis temple with the sword hilt, knocking him sprawling to the floor. Then, Yang Dingtian stepped forward, aimed at Tang Lis belly, and stabbed his sword in. Boom... It sounded like a balloon popping. Tang Lis Sea of Energy was destroyed by Yang Dingtian! Tang Li did not die. Yang Dingtian did not kill him. But, he became a cripple, an absolute cripple! ... Instantly, there was absolute silence in the square! Everyone stared at the final scene on the battleground! What happened? How could this be? The final sword attack. Shouldnt Yang Dingtian be dead instead? How did it end up being Tang Li who was crushed? Tang Lis bloody sword was such a famous treasure. How could it break? As for Tang Boshao, he stood still as if hed been struck by lightning. Even Elder Yang Yan could not react! ..... Yang Dingtian slowly turned around and bowed towards the higher stage. The third match has ended, Elder Yang Yan. May I stay in Cloud Sky City and may I participate in the Grand Martial Competition for the position of City Lord next year? After hearing Yang Dingtian, everyone suddenly awoke. Then, it was like a bomb had gone off in the square. Countless people were incredibly surprised, and thousands were shouting about what just happened. How did this happen? The reason was pretty simple. The moment Yang Dingtians Gigantic Millennium Owl Sword stabbed into Tang Lis body, it determined his death! That was because there was poison on the blade, Deep Sea Xuan Poison. Although it was a very small amount, it was still extremely deadly! A huge part of the Gigantic Millennium Owl Sword was made of the Millennium Owls claw, but when the Millennium Owl died, it was poisoned with the Deep Sea Xuan Poison. Although it had burned its Xuan energy to remove the poison, there was still some of it left in every inch of its body. Of course there would be some left on the Gigantic Millennium Owl Sword, even if it was only a little. When Yang Dingtian sliced Tang Lis chest, one-hundred-millionths of the original Deep Sea Xuan Poison entered Tang Lis blood, flowing into his Xuan veins and Sea of Energy. Even if it was just that small amount, as soon as it penetrated into the blood, there would be a chain effect. It would madly swallow the Xuan energy, mental acuity, blood, and everything that it touched! If Tang Li noticed and used his Xuan energy to suppress it, then he might have been fine. But he didnt as he was obsessed with fighting Yang Dingtian. In particular, he used all of his energy in those last three attacks to kill Yang Dingtian. His Xuan energy was drained and dissipated quickly, speeding up his death. Finally, the weak Deep Sea Xuan Poison had reached the most important part of his Xuan veins, and at that moment, it had blocked his Xuan veins and cut off his supply of Xuan Energy. This was the reason his expression grew strange and his gaze emitted green light. Thus, Yang Dingtian took that opportunity to break the energy-less bloody sword and turned Tang Li into a cripple with one strike. Yang Dingtian won, but he wasnt really happy! But, to be able to obtain victory was a good thing. Now, he was waiting to see if the Elder would come out with any other tricks. So, Yang Dingtian shouted out loud at Yang Yan, putting him on the spot. .... Yang Yan looked at Yang Dingtian in confusion, his gaze wandering. At the moment, thousands of Cloud Sky City disciples stood up and stared at Yang Yan, pressuring him silently. They were afraid that the Elder would come out with something shameless again, so they gave Yang Dingtian their silent support. If the Elder were to play any other tricks, the thousands of disciples in the field would rebel. Yang Yan took a deep breath and said, I announce that Yang Dingtian has obtained the victory in the Elimination battle and is officially a disciple of Cloud Sky City. He is qualified to participate in the Grand Martial Competition for the position of City Lord next year! After he finished talking, thunder-like noise erupted instantly! Long live.... Long live..... Long live Yang Dingtian! All of the Cloud Sky City disciples cheered! Yang Dingtian had left an incredibly fiery mark on the hearts of thousands of people today! In a short five days, he broke through from an enlightener to a Nine-star Xuan Martial Artist. Setting aside Sun Hao and Gan Lang who had lost in succession, even the last Four-star Xuan Martial Warrior was beaten until he was crippled! They had never heard of such a miracle, but Yang Dingtian did it right in front of them. How can such a person not be the future Cloud Sky City Lord? Yang Dingtian turned around and looked at Yanyan. He wiped off the blood on his face and smiled! Yanyan ignored everyones gazes and jumped down from the higher stage, running towards Yang Dingtian like a tiny little bird. Husband, your wife was wrong! Lets make love tonight! Chapter 98: Yanyan Devoting Her Body Chapter 98: Yanyan Devoting Her BodyTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales After hearing Yanyans words, Yang Dingtian was stunned, and his heart was shaken a little. Just as Yang Dingtian was about to open his mouth to speak, Qin Shaobai arrived in front of him, bowed, and said, Brother Yang, you were really amazing today. At this point, his face was covered with a gentle smile, and there wasnt even a glimpse of the arrogance from before. It was as if he wasnt the one who plotted to kill Yang Dingtian. Thanks, Yang Dingtian said calmly. He wasnt so thick-skinned that he didnt know how to act. Also, in front of such a mortal enemy, there was no need to act as everyone knew that as soon as there was a chance, they would kill each other. Originally, Yang Dingtian thought that Yanyan would scold Qin Shaobai fiercely or at least be a little sarcastic with him. Unexpectedly, Yanyan didnt do so but merely furrowed her eyebrows and showed a disgusted expression on her beautiful face as if the handsome Qin Shaobai was a disgusting worm. However, coincidentally, Yanyans disgusted face was also the most effective one. It directly pierced Qin Shaobais shameless defenses and caused his expression to instantly change. He could no longer act gentle and polite. Everyone will stay in Cloud Sky City in the future, so we should get closer together. However, having such a snow-white doll in your arms, Brother Yang should slowly enjoy. Qin Shaobai laughed as he turned around and left. That is the most disgusting man Ive ever seen, Yanyan whispered softly by Yang Dingtians ear, but it was loud enough for Qin Shaobai to hear. This was a fatal blow to the handsome Qin Shaobai. After hearing her, even though he wasnt facing Yang Dingtian, his body still trembled. He, Qin Shaobai, was capable of gaining peoples love, driving them crazy, making them scared and even hate him. But, he wasnt one who made people feel disgusted. As such, this comment was a huge blow to his confidence in his charm. Then, Ximen Lie walked over. Initially, Yang Dingtian had thought that he would tap his shoulder and say something nice or at least give him a hug. However, Ximen Lie did not do so but held the sword at his chest while giving Yang Dingtian a bow. He was extremely formal, extremely respectful! The reason was obvious. He had threatened Yang Dingtian, the future Cloud Sky City Lord, the person who he would be loyal to. Ximen Lie always had been meticulous. After he raised his head, Ximen Lie said, Yang Dingtian, you performed better than I expected. It wasnt just Godfathers cultivation that was deep but his vision as well. Thank you, brother, Yang Dingtian said. Godfather has given me everything, and Cloud Sky City is my everything. So, I will always stay by your side, Ximen Lie said. After saying his piece, Ximen Lie immediately turned around and left. He was rushing back to Black Blood Castle. Mrs. Ximen subsequently came over to look at him with the gaze of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. To be honest, even though shed been supporting Yang Dingtian all this while, she didnt intend to get close to him. However, her gaze was extremely gentle this time. Yanyan is very naughty. You have to discipline her in the future. But Yanyan is also very kind, so you must love her as well, Mrs. Ximen said softly. Yes, Yang Dingtian said. En, I believe that you will, Mrs. Ximen said gently and left. She left the young couple behind to resolve their misunderstandings. Ningning was sitting on a crane at the moment. After she came over, she handed a packet to Yanyan. These are Yang Dingtians medicine. Let him soak in it for two hours every night. After Yanyan accepted it, she whispered in Ningnings ear, Sister Ningning, come over to my room tonight. Hearing Yanyans nonsense, Ningning blushed and said softly, Crazy girl, you little vinegar jar, stop pretending to be generous. After that, Ningning mounted her white crane and flew towards her cave. The battle stage was now left with only Yanyan and Yang Dingtian. Lets go home. Yanyan held Yang Dingtians hand. Okay. Then, under the envious eyes of countless people, Yanyan pulled Yang Dingtians hand towards her house. Indeed, envious eyes. Previously, it was mostly due to jealousy of her body, but now they were more envious of her blessings. When they passed by the square, many of the disciples of Cloud Sky City didnt leave but were saying some passionate words to him as they made way for him. Yang Dingtian, we will protect you! Young master Yang, we support you. Some of them even directly called him Young master Yang. Yang Dingtian did not say anything but merely smiled courteously towards everyone. He took Yanyans hand and walked with her to her house. ******** Soon, the sky was already getting dark! In Yanyans house! Yang Dingtian was lying in a wooden barrel and was taking a hot bath. He was soaking in a medicinal bath. Today, his injuries were really frightening but they werent severe. His Xuan veins were slightly injured but would recover soon after taking the pills. As for the wounds on his body and in his bones, the pain was gone after soaking in the medicinal bath. At the moment, Yanyan was combing Yang Dingtians hair wholeheartedly, almost picking through it strand by strand. After returning to her house, Yanyan had become quiet. Her cheeks were extremely red, and her breath was husky. However, she remained quiet the entire time, the gentle kind of quiet! She was just this kind of person. Her mouth was unrestrained, but her heart was shy. Sorry, youve gone through so much because of my waywardness, Yanyan suddenly said. Yang Dingtian was lying in the wooden barrel with his eyes closed, and he shook his head. How about I call you brother in the future? Yanyan said. Its weird to call you Yang Dingtian, and here, a good woman cannot directly call her husbands name, but calling you husband feels too formal. You are only six months older than me, so Ill call you brother in the future, okay? Yes, Yang Dingtian said. Also, Ive said so many mean things, are you still angry? Yanyan asked gently. Not angry, Yang Dingtian said: Your heart is gentle. Even if the things you say are mean, you dont really mean them. While those who are cold-hearted, regardless of how gentle were their words are, they are still mean. En, Yanyan said gently. But you must believe me. I said that I wanted to go to Netherworld Sea, but deep down in my heart, I didnt want to go. I would definitely not have left before you came back without saying farewell because I know that those kinds of women are the dumbest and the most annoying. Indeed, Yanyan was a smart woman. At least when it came to the relationships between men and women, apart from being unable to control her own temper at times and being a little stubborn, she was extremely knowledgeable. Also, after you came back, I realized that even if you failed to break through, I would have still stayed by your side, even if we were kicked out of Cloud Sky City, Yanyan said. Yang Dingtian nodded hard. As for Yanyans words, he absolutely believed them because she was this kind of person. Whether its due to her character or friendship, she was the kind that would stay by your side through hard times and not leave even if you didnt love her. A woman who is capable of doing so was worthy of respect. Yanyan was not only respectable, but even importantly, she was also adorable. This was because many respectable women might accompany you and also comfort you during hard times. But during good times, they would be cold and distant, especially when they had some conflict with you. Despite it being their fault, they would choose to distance themselves due to pride. However, Yanyan wasnt like this. She ran over and readily admitted her fault. I was afraid that when I came back after successfully breaking through, you still wont give me any face, Yang Dingtian said as he laughed. Dont worry, Im not that dumb, Yanyan said. That type of woman is even dumber and more annoying. I was rude to you after drinking that night. Are you not angry? Yang Dingtian asked. You mean that time you spanked me? Yanyan said. If thats worth getting angry about, then my mom wouldnt be around anymore. Throughout these years, her ass has been smacked countless times. But she and my dad were still the most blessed couple in the world. Then, Yanyan burst into laughter. Didnt you say before? Three days without beating a woman will cause her to scale the roof and rip out the tiles. And, another one was that spanking a womans ass is not considered hitting her. The two of them fell into silence once again, and the atmosphere in the room became more and more flirtatious. Yang Dingtian couldnt stand the atmosphere, so he closed his eyes. Husband, have you ever slept with a woman before? Yanyan suddenly asked, and her breathing became quick. Yang Dingtians heart trembled, and he said softly, Technically yes, but it didnt really go in. Then today, Ill let you go in, okay? Yanyan said, her voice trembling. None of her words were lewd individually, but when combined, they were like the strongest aphrodisiac, especially because they came from the mouth of a pure, beautiful doll. Yang Dingtians heart instantly fluttered. Then, Yang Dingtian felt the softness on the back of his head as he was held in Yanyans arms. Then, she lowered her face and kissed Yang Dingtians head. From now on, it is time for us to make love, Yanyan said. But you must close your eyes and dont open them unless I ask you to. Dont open your eyes. You must listen to me, understand? Okay. Yang Dingtian had lost his voice, and his heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest. Then, he felt Yanyan step away. Then, he heard the sounds of her taking off her clothes. Then, it was the sound of Yanyan entering the water. Instantly, there were soft, jade-like ** in the wooden barrel. A womans fragrance instantly filled Yang Dingtians nose. Brother, my ** are nice right? Yanyan asked. Yes, Yang Dingtian answered. Then, Ill let you taste, okay? Okay... Before Yang Dingtian even finished speaking, a hot and sweet taste filled his mouth. A mass of incredibly tender, jade-like cherry ball was stuffed into his mouth. It was incredibly sweet and smooth. S?a??h the N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. A flame was ignited in Yang Dingtians body. He used his hands to wrap the plump body into his arms, sucking Yanyans boobs in his mouth, biting it nonstop as if he wanted to devour the clumps of fat. Ah..., Yanyan screamed as her body trembled. Husband, you cant break the rule...., Yanyan said while trembling. Let me take charge. Dont move first. You can only taste the part that I let you taste and touch the part that I let you touch. My mother said before that if I am able to master the initiative in making love, then I will be able to master the rights of a wife in the future. So tonight, you must listen to me. I have planned this for some time. Okay, Ill listen to you...., Yang Dingtian tried to say, but he couldnt because his mouth was filled with the sweetest thing on earth. Then, he let go with his hands reluctantly. Good..... Yanyans tiny hands touched Yang Dingtians face, and she went and grabbed one of Yang Dingtians hands and guided it to her waist. My waist is very thin and smooth, but it is soft and meaty when you touch it. Even thinner than Dongfang Bingling, right? Yanyan asked. Yes, Yang Dingtian nodded and touched her delicate waist with his hands. Then, Yanyan grabbed Yang Dingtians hand and moved it lower. Instantly, there was a huge difference down there. The shape became bigger and rounder. My ass is very big, very round, and very upright, right? Nicer than Dongfang Binglings ass and even more attractive, right? Yanyan asked. Right! Yang Dingtians breathing had quickened to the limit. His nose kept expelling fire hot air onto Yanyans chest. Then, he touched her plump ass. Yanyan was about Yang Dingtians height, 166cm tall, and her bone structure wasnt big. She had big boobs with a childish face. She was plump all over, both front and back. Every inch of her skin was white and smooth like milk or sheeps fat. So, the naked Yanyan would definitely be in her most beautiful and enchanting form. Her breasts were big, and her hips were fat, and these werent exaggerations. On Yanyan, they made her extremely sexy and cute as if she were the doll of the century that was made of snow. Every inch of her body was filled with pure but fatal temptations. Her ass wasnt just bones but a round and upright mass of pure-white fat. It was the most upright ass that Yang Dingtian had ever seen, even among the erotic videos that hed seen back on earth. No one could be compared to Yanyan. Also, hers was different from the African exaggerated ideal but was still filled with unlimited temptation and beauty. Yang Dingtian trembled as he touched her plump ass and grabbed it harder as if he wanted to put his entire hand in. Just as he was overly immersed in the feeling, Yanyan suddenly broke free, pushing away Yang Dingtians hand and pull her boobs out of his mouth. Yang Dingtian instantly let out a disappointed sound. But then, the sound of water flowing was heard. He heard her opening her legs, lifting her foot, and stepping over the edge of the wooden barrel. He couldnt imagine how tempting the scene was, but he had to follow her directions, so he couldnt open his eyes. Were my boobs nice? Yanyan asked. Nice! Yang Dingtian said. There is something even better that you havent tasted before, never seen before, and not touched before. If I let you taste, do you want it? Yanyan asked. Want! Yang Dingtian said. Okay, I can let you, but you cant bite. But then, the sound of a slap in the water resounded. He couldnt imagine how alluring the scenery in front of him was, but he had to stay obedient and could not open his eyes. Its where I pee, and Ive washed it.... Then, Yanyan put a little force into her hand and pressed Yang Dingtians head forward. He was inundated by an erotic fragrance! Chapter 99: Meeting Dongfang Bingling Chapter 99: Meeting Dongfang BinglingTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Instantly, some hot and delicate meat entered his mouth. It was as soft as a cloud, as smooth as jade, but there wasnt any hair. The two flower petals were soft and delicate, almost melting in his mouth. Ah...Ah... As soon Yang Dingtian came in contact with her, he sucked it lightly, and Yanyans entire body trembled fiercely as she moaned. It felt like her body had been shocked by lightning. She lost all of her energy and could no longer stand steady. As a result, she fell on Yang Dingtians face. Yang Dingtians entire face was being pressed down by Yanyans naked lower abdomen, and he used his hands to hug her beautiful body, preventing her from falling down while sucking hardly with his mouth. Yang Dingtian, stop. I cant do it. I cant do it.... Yanyans voice had changed as she was trembling so much, and her body was even worse. Her rich theoretical knowledge couldnt be put to use, and she couldnt manage the tempo of making love. As soon as Yang Dingtian was about to pull back, a bunch of hot liquid rushed into his mouth. Yanyans body was even more sensitive than he expected. After half a minute, Yanyans body stopped trembling, and she was able to speak. She gradually slipped down from Yang Dingtians face so that her soft ass was sitting on his legs. She felt a huge, fiery hot thing between her thighs, causing her to bounce up as if shed been burned. Then, she slowly sat back down and slumped into Yang Dingtians arm with her face on his chest, her beautiful face a rose pink, looking as if she was drunk. Both of her watery eyes were so enchanting. Husband, carry me to the bed. Take the lead from now on. I, I have no more energy, Yanyan said. En. Yang Dingtian carried Yanyan, and her body fragrance rushed into his nose. Her white and jade-like ** was completely exposed in front of him. Yanyan wasnt light. She weighed around fifty kilograms. But as Yang Dingtian carried her in his arms, she felt as light as a feather. He placed her on the bed gently and gently wiped every inch of her body with a towel. She looked like a porcelain doll as every inch of her body was snow-white, appearing fragile and flawless. Then, he hugged this body in his arms and gently touched her. Yang Dingtian, Ive always thought ever since I was young that its really weird for both man and woman to be naked in the same bed. Yanyan hugged Yang Dingtians waist as she spoke. She had gradually awoken, and her sexual desire had faded. How about now? Yang Dingtian asked. Now, its still weird...., Yanyan said. Okay, its already midnight. Lets do the main thing..., Yanyan said. What posture do you want? Although I havent experienced it before, I know everything. Yang Dingtians breath became quick again. He wanted to say do you know about the old man pushing the cart? However, he didnt and only turned around and jumped onto her body. It felt like he was lying on clouds, smooth and soft. Brother, I am ready. Do it... Yanyans voice was shaking. When she said this, her teeth were trembling. She opened her beautiful legs and clung to Yang Dingtians waist. Yang Dingtians lowered his head and kissed her red lips passionately. Yanyan, are you really ready? Yang Dingtian asked. Of course, kissing my ** was even intimate and shameful. Since we already did that, what is this? she said. But, I felt that your body was very stiff, and you seemed to be afraid....., Yang Dingtian said. Im just nervous. Every woman would be the same, Yanyan said. Yang Dingtian said, Yanyan, before I enter, can I ask you a question? What question? Yanyan asked. Five years ago, what happened to you? Yang Dingtian asked. Ive asked Sister Ningning, and she wanted me to hear it personally from you. Ximen Ningning had said before that when Yanyan gave her heart to him, she would tell him everything that happened five years ago. This was because that was the deepest pain in her heart. As soon as Yang Dingtian finished asking, Yanyans body trembled severely, and her entire body became extremely stiff! Then, her body temperature dropped immediately, from boiling hot to ice-cold. Its not that I want to pry, but its because this is your darkest history, a dark history that is torturing you. Only when you are able to share it will you be able to let go of it, Yang Dingtian said. Only a woman who truly found their loved one would share with him her deepest pain. Yanyans beautiful face became pale, and her expression showed her pain. She looked at Yang Dingtian with her pretty eyes and opened her mouth a little as if to say something. But then, she shut her tiny mouth and struggled painfully. After a few minutes, Yanyan suddenly hugged Yang Dingtians waist and cried, Sorry, I cant do it. I cant do it... Yang Dingtian sighed a little and said, Its okay, I was too rushed. Its not just that Yang Dingtian who was rushing, but even Yanyan was rushing as well. It was Yang Dingtian who rushed matters of the heart while it was Yanyan who rushed matters of the flesh. From her perspective, she felt that giving her body to Yang Dingtian was like a ceremony. As soon as she did it, she felt like she would be able to escape a past experience and foster a real relationship. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath. What had he even done for her? He had only won a battle for her, and it was his determination that was rewarded. To be more frank, as soon as he managed to become a Nine-star Xuan Martial Artist, he was qualified to fight for the position of City Lord. He didnt do much for Yanyan but expected her to open up to him. He was probably really too impatient. It was probably because Yang Dingtian hadnt completely entered her heart that she couldnt share the heartbreaking past of hers. Its okay. Its okay... Yang Dingtian hugged Yanyan and kissed her hair. Then, he said, We still have time. We can take it slowly..... That night, the two of them fell asleep in each others arms. The next morning, Yang Dingtian could still see tear marks at the corner of Yanyans eyes. ****** In the following days, Yang Dingtian still lived in Yanyans house, but the two of them slept in different rooms. It was not because their relationship had gone frigid. Rather, they were avoiding the awkward dilemma of whether or not to make love. Sometimes, Yanyan would accompany Mrs. Ximen to bed. Other than that, she was like a dedicated wife who took care of Yang Dingtian very well. Taking care of his clothing, making tea, cooking, she didnt act like a rich lady at all. Also, it was like she felt guilty about it, so she treated Yang Dingtian even more gently. It was just that due to certain reasons, they had little to talk about. All of a sudden, it felt like they didnt know what to say. Both of them treated each other like family, but there was still some distance from becoming true lovers. Ningning realized that their relationship had gone strange and she couldnt help but ask him. Yang Dingtian confessed everything that happened that night to her. Afterwards, Ningning said, You fool, you can ask after you make love. Then, she whispered, If a woman opens her leg, her mouth would open as well. How can you not know such simple theory? Youre really dumb. If it werent that we had done something so intimate at the guest house, do you think I would have treated you so well, so closely? Instantly, Yang Dingtian naturally blushed. Fool, you have lost such a good opportunity. So you have to wait for the next opportunity, Ningning said to him. When the next opportunity comes, you both have to do it, understand? Yang Dingtian was stunned and said, Although I really want to, is that thing so important? Of course it is important. Ningning rolled her eyes. You are really a fool who doesnt know anything. ...... In the following days, Yang Dingtian didnt find that so-called opportunity as he had an even important task, which was to practice his martial arts. Although he had already become a Nine-star Martial Artist, it was still insufficient. Not to mention Ximen Yan, his cultivation was still far weaker than that of Ximen Ju and was far from being sufficient to fight Qin Shaobai. Qin Shaobai wasnt even 17 years old, but he was already a Nine-star Xuan Martial Warrior on the surface. Also, he took a Xuan Dissociation Pill previously to wash away all of his martial skills and cultivated the Chaotic Heaven Destroyer Swordsmanship anew. As a result, his cultivation had dropped more than one level. Also, Ningning said before that Qin Shaobai was lying about being a Nine-star Xuan Martial Warrior and that his true cultivation was way greater than that. As such, he was still considered one of the talented youths in the Northwest continent. After improving so much from the Yin Yang Five-Element Formation, Yang Dingtian truly felt that normal martial arts cultivation was extremely slow. Though Yang Dingtian had already worked hard to an extreme, his talents having been stretched to the extreme, his martial skills had also already reached their limit. He spent a dozen hours on martial arts cultivation each day with two hours spent inhaling and exhaling Xuan energy. After ten days with the same routine, it felt like Yang Dingtians Xuan energy had merely improved one-fifth of a rank. If this continued, it would take him close to two months to break through one rank. Of course, this cultivation speed would already make countless people insanely jealous because it was two to three times faster than normal. At this rate, with just over ten years time, another powerful Honorable Master-level elite will would be born. Breaking through to become an Honorable Master-level elite in under a dozen years was an incredible speed. Even Yang Dingtians master, Dongfang Niemie, couldnt do it. The same was true of Ximen Wuya. Currently, only one person in the world had managed to do so, and that person was Dongfang Bingling. But for Yang Dingtian, this was far from sufficient. At this rate, he could at most become a Xuan Martial Instructor by the time of the City Lord Grand Competition. And that would only put him at the same level as Qin Shaobai was now, which meant that there wouldnt even be a need to compete. He could just admit his defeat now. Hence, Yanyan suggested using the Yin Yang Xuan Devouring Arts even though it would only help Yang Dingtian to break through one or two levels at most. Of course, Yang Dingtian rejected the proposal and took the opportunity to smack Yanyans ass. As first, their relationship was cold and awkward, but it was actually resolved after this spanking, and they became close again. Its just that the two of them were carefully protecting this flirtatious relationship of theirs without rushing things. ... Yang Dingtian still practiced martial arts every day, and his cultivation speed was the same as before, but his heart became nervous. Son, dont worry, Dongfang Niemie said. If you continue at this speed, you will be able to break through to become a Xuan Warrior in a months time. Then, you will be able to cultivate the second stage of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. Indeed, the Pig Killing Swordsmanship was unlike all other Martial Arts Scrolls. For other scrolls, there are new techniques to learn every stage; for Pig Killing Swordsmanship, however, there are only new techniques every two stages. This means that Yang Dingtian needed to become a Xuan Martial Warrior in order to be able to learn the second stage of Pig Killing Swordsmanship. The Pig Killing Swordsmanship is truly mysterious and different from any other scrolls. If you were to cultivate the second stage of other scrolls, your Xuan energy might break through less than half a rank. But, I believe that there will be a surprise when you finish cultivating the second stage, said Dongfang Niemie. Just thinking about the Pig Killing Swordsmanship made Yang Dingtians heart burn. The first stage was already so powerful, not to mention the second stage. Also, Yang Dingtian was extremely excited about the breakthrough that would come about after he masters that stage. More importantly, he will be able to meet Senior Xuwu Fengyan again as he will be in the second stage of the scroll. You should leave Cloud Sky City as soon as you finish cultivating the second stage of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship to practice outside. That way, your progress will be much faster than now, Dongfang Niemie said. You need to practice while waiting for the supreme Earth Fire in the Fire Cloud Devil Cave to bloom and prepare to forge a basic sword of sword soul as this is the most important matter. As you travel around these few months, you wont only practice but would also search for treasures at the same time. Only then you will be able to enter the Fire Cloud Devil Cave to forge a basic sword. What treasures? Yang Dingtian asked. Fireproof Ice Pearl, Dongfang Niemie said. This kind of pearl treasure is formed by the coldest energy beneath the sea over ten thousand years. It isnt extremely cold when touched, but it contains an extremely powerful cold energy. The only way to be able to enter the Fire Cloud Devil Cave is by placing this pearl in your mouth. The reason is that there is a Heaven Fire Magic Phoenix inside, and it is a millennium demonic beast. Without the Fireproof Ice Pearl, even Guru-level elites wont be able to endure its deadly flame, not to mention entering the Fire Cloud Devil Cave. Fireproof Ice Pearl? Master, is it difficult to get this item? Yang Dingtian asked. This item is almost priceless, worth more than the wealth of a few cities. But if you head to the southwestern continent, there might be a surprise awaiting you, Dongfang Niemie said. So, as soon as you become a Xuan Martial Warrior and finish cultivated the second stage of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship, head to the southwestern continent to practice. It is about eight thousand miles away, and the legendary Netherworld Sea is also in that direction. At the moment, there was less than a month before Yang Dingtian would become a Xuan Martial Warrior. That meant that he would be leaving Cloud Sky City in less than a month, and he was slightly reluctant. However, he couldnt stop fighting over these next few years. Break through to become a Xuan Martial Warrior. Cultivate the second stage of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. Practice outside. Obtain the Fireproof Ice Pearl and enter the Fire Cloud Devil Cave to forge the basic sword in four months when the supreme Earth Fire blooms. These were the things that he would have to do in the following months, and hopefully, he will be able to advance his cultivation the most within these few months. ******* Yang Dingtian felt heavy-hearted as soon as he thought about leaving soon. He pondered a while and went to discuss this with Yanyan. However, Yanyans expression was strange, and she kept looking at Yang Dingtian with a strange glare, which left him confused. Yanyan, why are you staring at me with such a gaze? Its making me uncomfortable, Yang Dingtian said. Indeed, at the moment, Yanyans gaze looked like that of a wife who caught her husband cheating red-handed. Husband, your lover has arrived in the Northwest Continent, Yanyan suddenly said with a weird tone. Lover? I have no other lover than you, Yang Dingtian said. Your ex-wife, Dongfang Bingling, has arrived, Yanyan said. Ah... Yang Dingtian was shocked. Dongfang Bingling has come to Cloud Sky City for what? Of course, she wouldnt come to Cloud Sky City. She doesnt even recognize our Cloud Sky City. Ximen Yanyan flattened her mouth and said, She is only passing by the Northwest Continent, but since she is the Angel of the Nine Skies, even if shes just passing by, all the factions here have gone to greet her. Now, only our Cloud Sky City had not greeted them yet. Even the lord of the Northwest Qin Family went to receive them by the shore. At the moment, Yang Dingtian truly had no other thoughts about Dongfang Bingling and was also aware of her clear status in the world. She was the only one with the status of the number one martial artist in the world, the only person with the talent to break through to become a Martial Saint. Now, Yang Dingtian also roughly knew Dongfang Binglings capabilities. How strong was she? Shes not even twenty years old, and currently, after Ximen Wuyas passing, there wasnt a single person in Cloud Sky City that could be her opponent. Even Elder Yang Yan was no match for her. It was not wrong to call her the Angel of the Nine Skies. So what if she comes? What does it have to do with us? Yang Dingtian said. He didnt say me but us. This showed that he didnt lack wisdom in handling love relationships. Hmm, dont you feel a little upset? She is the Angel of the Nine Skies, admired by thousands of people, and I am just an ordinary girl. There must be a huge gap in your heart, Yanyan said. Cheh......, Yang Dingtian said. Compared to Yanyan, what is she? Is she prettier than you? The two of you are similar, but are her boobs bigger than yours? No. Is her butt rounder than yours? No. Is she as cute as you? She isnt better than you in any of these things and is only superior in martial arts. What can she be proud of? Whats the point of having such powerful martial arts? To beat her husband? These words made Yanyan smile. Then, Yang Dingtian used some vulgar words and pushed this conversation to its climax. Just your pinky and hairless bottom would already kill her in a split second, Yang Dingtian said seriously. Yang Dingtian, youre such a hooligan, Yanyan said as she dropped her bowl and chopsticks. She ran to Yang Dingtian and smacked his chest. Yang Dingtian took the opportunity to catch her and hug her plump body. He made her sit on his laps and said gently, Ill feed you, is it okay? Dont want. Youre a hooligan. How would you know if there is any hair on Dongfang Binglings bottom? Could it be that youve stalked her? Yanyan asked mischievously. Ive never seen it before. I was just guessing. Yang Dingtian used the spoon to feed Yanyan and said seriously, This kind of rare hairless gift, only Yanyan will have. How is it possible for Dongfang Bingling to have it? Youre such a rotten hooligan. You are a big hooligan. Yanyan bit the tofu on Yang Dingtians spoon, and then, he immediately sealed her mouth with his. Im also hungry. Give me this bite of yours, Yang Dingtian said as he kissed her tiny little lips. Yang Dingtian, youre so disgusting..... Yang Dingtian struggled as he opened his mouth. After the two of them finished their meals, Yanyan cleared the table with red ears and prepared to defend against Yang Dingtians sudden attack. Yang Dingtian moved forward and hugged her tiny waist. He said gently into her ears, Baby, can I sleep on your bed tonight? But Im having my period...., Yanyan said softly. The last time I wanted to give it to you, you acted like you didnt want it. Serves you right... I dont want to do that. I just want to hug you and sleep, Yang Dingtian said. But there is blood down there. Itll drown you... Yanyan twisted her body and escaped from Yang Dingtians hug. Yang Dingtian felt a strong intimate atmosphere and thought in his heart, So, this is also an opportunity for men and women to break through, thanks to Dongfang Bingling! ***** That night, Yang Dingtian had a good sleep hugging Yanyans delicate body. The bloody smell that Yanyan warned about ended up just being body fragrance. After breakfast, Yang Dingtian went to the mountain behind to practice as usual. Along the road, tons of disciples greeted him respectfully. Even though his cultivation wasnt as high as theirs, he still responded to each and every one of them. At the mountain by the water, Yang Dingtian was sitting upright, inhaling and exhaling Xuan energy. At the moment, he was still half a rank away from breaking through to becoming a Xuan Martial Warrior. He needed just over twenty days to do it. At that time, he would have to leave Cloud Sky City. The Xuan energy entered his body bit by bit, and his Xuan veins instantly purified it. It then gathered into his Sea of Energy. At the moment he was about to close his eyes to continue cultivating, loud, rushed footsteps could be heard. Normally at this time, no one would interrupt him while he was meditating. He was shocked and opened his eyes. The person was Ximen Lie, who had come with a letter. Young master, its Dongfang Binglings letter for you, he said. Dongfang Bingling wrote me a letter? Yang Dingtian was stunned and couldnt think of a reason for her to write to him. After hearing from Yanyan yesterday that Dongfang Bingling had arrived in the Northwest continent, he thought that it had nothing to do with him. He never would have thought that he would receive a letter from her today. Yang Dingtian took the letter and opened it. The words are well written and were cold and arrogant, just like Dongfang Bingling. The contents of the letter were simple: Brother Yang, Its good that youve received this letter! Ive heard a lot about you while passing through this land and was extremely confused. After thinking a while, I decided to meet Brother Yang to discuss some important matters. Its inappropriate for me to head to Cloud Sky City due to my identity, so I will be waiting for you five hundred miles southwest of Cloud Sky City at the Catkin Village. Hope you come by soon! Sister Dongfang Bingling. In this letter, she didnt express any hatred. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but be suspicious. Who sent this letter? Could it be fabricated? It was sent by Dongfang Binglings close bodyguard, Ximen Lie said. Also, I dont think anyone is able to copy her handwriting, so I believe that it is undoubtedly from her. Dongfang Bingling asked to meet. Should he go? .... Soon, Mrs. Ximen, Ximen Lie, Ximen Ningning, Yanyan, and Yang Dingtian were sitting in a room, discussing whether should Yang Dingtian should go. Dont go. I dont see any point in meeting up, Ningning said. I dont like this woman. If she wanted to meet Yang Dingtian, let her come up Cloud Sky City herself, Mrs. Ximen said. Ximen Lie said directly, I will respect young masters decision. Finally, everyones gazes stopped on Yanyan as she probably had the most say in this matter. This was due to Dongfang Binglings unique identity and the fact that Yanyan was Yang Dingtians actual wife. Go, go and meet her. You must go, Yanyan said. I want to see what that arrogant woman wants to say. s?a??h th? N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. .... On this day, Yang Dingtian rode his horse and departed with Ximen Lies accompanying him. They headed towards Catkin Village to meet Dongfang Bingling. Chapter 100: The Catkins Village, Yang Dingtian Put Himself in the Verge of Danger! Chapter 100: The Catkins Village, Yang Dingtian Put Himself in the Verge of Danger!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales As soon as Yang Dingtian stepped out of Cloud Sky City, after walking less than ten miles, he suddenly heard a furious roar. A red figure jumped out from the forest, blocking Yang Dingtians path with a sword. Yang Dingtian, Ill take your life. Yang Dingtian was stunned when he saw her. It was Tang Boshaos daughter as well as Ximen Jus fianc, Tang Xin. She looked at Yang Dingtian, filled with hatred. You killed my brother, so I will chop off your head today to avenge him, Yang Xin said coldly. You are extremely talented, and I want to see if you are my opponent and whether or not I am able to kill you. Yang Dingtian felt chills. I made Tang Li a cripple because he asked for it. Arent you afraid of being punished by Cloud Sky Citys law by seeking vengeance in secret? Also, I didnt kill him and let him go. My dad killed him last night, Tang Xin said angrily. Instantly, Yang Dingtian was shocked. He never thought that Tang Boshao could be so evil that he would kill his own son. Tang Xin said coldly, You had already turned him into a cripple. Being dead would be better than staying alive. As for Cloud Sky Citys law, who would know if I kill you here? The Elder cant wait for you to die, so theyll turn a blind eye! You may be talented, but now, even ten of you wont be able to beat me. You will die today. Go to hell! Tang Xin gathered her Xuan energy and pierced her sword towards Yang Dingtian. Idiot.... Ximen Lie, who was standing some distance away, loosened his cloak, took out his dagger, and threw it. Bang.... Tang Xin flew through the air like a paper crane, spurting a mouthful of blood. But, it wasnt a serious injury as Ximen Lie had shown mercy. After seeing that Ximen Lie was protecting him, Tang Xins expression changed and showed a glimpse of fear. Woman, this matter cant be settled here. Wait till we return to Cloud Sky City. We will definitely see to your punishment, Ximen Lie said coldly. Now, move away or I will kill you. You would then die for nothing.... After that, Ximen Lie and Yang Dingtian rode their horses away into the distance. Tang Xin no longer dared to create chaos, so she quickly hid, looking at Yang Dingtians back, filled with hatred. ********* The Catkin Village that was 500 miles from Cloud Sky City was actually the property of the Yin Yang Sect. The equivalent on Earth would be the sects consulate or administration office. However, there was a rule in this world that no Sect or Faction could create their own forces in anothers territory, so the place merely flew the flag of Heavens Order League. This power was a merger of businessmen and soldiers. As long as they flew the flag of Heavens Order League, they would be able to enter most territories in the world, the reason being that most of the huge Sects are members of this Order. The Catkin Village was a 20-hectare manor with over five hundred Martial Warriors belonging to the Yin Yang Sect. There was only one reason this Catkin Village was built, which was to monitor Cloud Sky City. In the evening, Yang Dingtian and Ximen Lie arrived. They instantly saw an amazing scene and couldnt help but sigh. Outside of the manor, there was a thousand-meter-long queue of luxurious horses and high-status individuals waiting in line to meet Dongfang Bingling. It looked like Yanyan was right. All the forces in the Northwest Continent, be they small or huge, had come to give their greetings! Dongfang Binglings prestige had truly shaken the entire world. Who are you? As soon as Yang Dingtian and Ximen Lie dismounted, two boys came over and asked. They looked polite but were extremely arrogant, completely not placing anyone in their eyes. How was it that everyone in the Yin Yang Sect had the same arrogant character as Dongfang Bingling? Yang Dingtian and Ximen Lie from Cloud Sky City arriving to greet Mrs. Dongfang, Ximen Lie said. Cloud Sky City? The tone of one boy became strange with a higher pitch and couldnt hide the fact that he was looking down on them. As soon as the other people in line heard the three words Cloud Sky City, they all showed strange expressions. It was partly hatred and partly condescension. Cloud Sky Citys status had always been awkward and not official. Although it was listed in the Heavens Order League, it was not listed among the Three Sects, Nine Factions, and twenty-seven groups. Furthermore, everyone in the world only had one thought when Cloud Sky City was brought up, which was that it was a traitor of the Yin Yang Sect. However, all of the huge and small forces in the entire Northwest Continent were still afraid of Cloud Sky City. This was because Ximen Wuya had destroyed countless factions over the years. But now that he was no longer around, they longer bothered to conceal their hatred and disdain. The Yin Yang Sect had always been on bad terms with Cloud Sky City. As soon as the boy noticed that the other people around showed similar hatred and disdain, he became brave and said coldly, What are Cloud Sky Citys people doing in our Catkin Village? Could it be that you want to give me extra work to have to wash the path that you all have taken? Quickly leave. We should hang a sign at the entrance of Catkin Village stating that the people and dogs of Cloud Sky City are not allowed to enter. Go...go...go.... Then, the boy began to shoo them away. The people in line were laughing and discussing loudly. Yang Dingtian was so furious that he was about to explode. Dongfang Bingling was the one who wrote them a letter to invite them. When they reached Catkin Village, they ended up being humiliated instead. The people in charge inside, are you going to allow such a servant to rebel? Yang Dingtian shouted. Instantly, the surroundings turned completely silent. The rude servant also stopped and was instantly afraid. After all, humiliating Yang Dingtian was merely his selfish action as he had not received any orders to do so. He acted so just to curry favor with Dongfang Bingling, even if she didnt even know he existed. Yang Dingtian was so loud that there was no doubt that the people inside could hear him. However, none of them walked out, and none of them came out to stop him. It was obvious that the higher-ranking individuals of Catkin Village were happy to see the servant humiliate the people of Cloud Sky City. It was as if the servant was given a huge encouragement. His eyes suddenly brightened, and he said loudly, Oh, I remember who you are now. Yang Dingtian, the one who wanted to marry our angel, Dongfang. Ive seen many people like that, but Ive never seen one that is so shameful like you. You shouldve looked in the mirror. Who are you exactly? How dare you even have such crazy thoughts of having our angel? Leave. Leave now. Yang Dingtian stared at this servant coldly and looked at the entrance to the village beyond, and he laughed. Dongfang Bingling, you really are so arrogant. Not seeing you doesnt bother me. Brother, lets leave, Yang Dingtian said. Then, the two of them mounted their horses. Wait...., the servant shouted coldly. Get off your horses and walk out. How dare you ride your horses in front of the entrance of Catkin Village? Who do the traitors of Cloud Sky City think they are? Get down now! You think it is Ximen Yanyan that you can just get on her anytime you want? After saying that, the servant went forward and was about to pull Yang Dingtian down from his horse. This servant dared to humiliate Yanyan. An icy-cold gaze flashed through Yang Dingtians eyes, and the urge to kill rushed into his heart. He said coldly, At first, I didnt want to be so petty like you, but since you are seeking death, I shall grant you your wish! Trample him...., Yang Dingtian shouted. Instantly, both his and Ximen Lies horses rushed forward and trampled over the servant. You dare? Ah...spare me...., the servant instantly shouted in pain. Ahh.... Then, a pitiful growl was heard! Before he was even done screaming, Yang Dingtians charging horse sent him flying a few dozen meters away. It then rushed forward and stepped on his body violently. The sound of bones cracking was heard. The servant bled profusely, and spectators could not know if he was alive or dead. The surroundings immediately went silent as everyone stared at Yang Dingtian in shock. They never thought that he would be brave enough to trample a person from the Yin Yang Sect until he was half dead in front of Catkin Village. As they rode their horse away from Catkin Village, Yang Dingtians stared back at the crowd of people whod humiliated them and said coldly, You all are bastards! After that, the two of them left. Wait..... Suddenly, a loud voice was heard from behind. Then, a snow-white body flashed through the air like a lightning bolt before landing before Yang Dingtian and Ximen Lie. He stared at them and said, I am the manager of the village, Liu Chengyan. The two of you dared to hurt someone from my village and still intend to just walk away like that? You must really look down on our Yin Yang Sect. It was that servant who was seeking death, Yang Dingtian said coldly. Didnt you hear how he humiliated us in public? Why didnt you come out and stop him? Aiyo? Since when could the people of Cloud Sky City order the Yin Yang Sect around? Liu Cheng Yan said, Your Cloud Sky Citys name isnt clear, and you all are traitors. What is there left to discuss? Since youve injured someone from my village, dont even think about leaving. Just stay here! Come over...., Liu Cheng Yan shouted. Instantly, dozens of figures rushed out, surrounding both Yang Dingtian and Ximen Lie. Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh.... Then, all of them drew their swords and pointed them at the duo. Yang Dingtian was furious as he said, Dongfang Bingling, was this the reason you asked me to come over? There was still no response from the inside of Catkin Village. Brother, well kill our way out! Yang Dingtian said coldly. Okay! Ximen Lie drew his huge sword and released killing intent from his body. Yang Dingtian gradually drew his strange Millennium Owl Sword. Instantly, both parties started fighting as soon as they came in contact! Stop it.... Finally, a voice was heard from the village. Then, a beautiful body flew over to Yang Dingtian as if it has no weight at all. This young lady had a pair of picturesque eyes, wore a long blue dress, and had a delicate body. Although her boobs were not plump, they were still round. She could be considered the most beautiful woman among thousands. It was just that Yang Dingtian found her expression and gaze repulsive as it resembled that of Dongfang Bingling. That kind of arrogant, condescending, ice-cold look made appear like she looked down on everyone in the world with a confidence that he wasnt sure where she got it from. Greetings, Ms. Ning..... Instantly, the manager of the village, Liu Cheng Yan, and the dozen other martial warriors all bowed down to show their respect. No one dared to even sigh. She must be the sword guard besides Dongfang Bingling, Ning Ruohan, one of her trusted attendants. Ning Ruohan didnt even look at the management people of the village but looked at Yang Dingtian and said unhappily, Even City Lord Ximen came to our Yin Yang Sect respectfully. How is a small character like you so reckless? Yang Dingtian said coldly, Ms. Ning, kindly reflect on your own status to see if you are qualified to say such things. I was the successor of Dongfang Sect Lord, and before me, you are merely a servant. After Ning Ruohan heard what Yang Dingtian said, her expression changed immediately, and her eyes turned cold. If I were you, I wouldnt utter a single word as no matter what you say, people will think that it represents Dongfang Bingling, Yang Dingtian said. S?a?ch* Th? N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Ning Ruohan stared at Yang Dingtian hatefully and said, Our young lady wants to see you. Follow me. After that, she turned around as if she no longer wanted to look at Yang Dingtians face. Under the terrified gazes of everyone around, Yang Dingtian followed Ning Ruohan into Catkin Village. Only now did everyone remember Yang Dingtians other identity as the only successor of Dongfang Niemie. Chapter 101: Goodbye Dongfang Bingling Chapter 101: Goodbye Dongfang BinglingTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales After entering the gate to the village, there was a huge performance stage. As soon as Yang Dingtian set foot inside, he immediately received countless hostile gazes. This was because Dongfang Bingling held a sacred and inviolable position in their hearts. Since Yang Dingtian had thoughts of marrying Dongfang Bingling before, he was considered vulgar. Moreover, Yang Dingtian had already become part of Cloud Sky City but dared to trample on someone from the Yin Yang Sect right in front of the gate. This was why everyone around the performance stage was staring at him coldly. However, Yang Dingtian acted as if he didnt notice. After passing through a cloister and a garden, they arrived in front of a delicate and luxurious pavilion. This was the temporary residence of Dongfang Bingling in the Catkins Village. Upon entering, he immediately saw dozens of people sitting in the lobby. Although the clothes worn by these people werent as delicate as those worn by those queuing outside, their actions were elegant. There was no doubt that these were all the important figures of the Northwest Continent and were basically known as the lords that rule the area. Despite their high status, they were all sitting there and waiting for Dongfang Bingling to meet them. Dozens of them were shocked when they saw Ning Ruohan bring Yang Dingtian in, and all of the attention fell on Yang Dingtian. They were all curious of his identity as those who were able to sit here and wait were high-status individuals that owned over thirty square miles of land. Yang Dingtian looked so young. How was it possible for someone like him to come here? Wait for me here. Ill go in and inform...., Ning Ruohan said as she walked in, leaving Yang Dingtian in the lobby without anyone serving him tea. Child, we would like to know who you are. Finally, someone couldnt help but ask. Yang Dingtian from Cloud Sky City. Immediately, there were strange noises in the lobby as everyone looked at Yang Dingtian with weird gazes. Of course, they were higher-ranking important figures and would not humiliate him like those at the gate. Oh, youre truly a young hero.... The middle-aged man who asked him said this awkwardly, sat down, and no longer looked at him. Everyone else in the lobby was similar while some even hid from his gaze as if they were feeling guilty. Yang Dingtian didnt understand. He understood that Cloud Sky Citys position was very awkward. It was normal for everyones gazes to be strange, but why guilty? Before Yang Dingtian even managed to clear his mind, Ning Ruohan had already returned. She said to Yang Dingtian, Just you alone, follow me in..... Yang Dingtian told Ximen Lie, Brother, simply find a place to sit. Since the hosts dont have any manners, we guests must be a little bit more flexible. Ill be right back.... Okay. Ximen Lie found a place and sat down. He then said to Yang Dingtian, If theres any situation, just yell and Ill immediately rush in... As soon as those words came out, everyone looked at him with insulting gazes as if to ask what help will you be if you rush in alone? Okay, thanks brother.... Then, Yang Dingtian followed Ning Ruohan into the inner hall and headed upstairs. Ning Ruohans waist was as small as Yang Yans, but her butt wasnt considered big, which is why her curves werent that obvious when walking on a flat surface. But, it became very obvious when she walked up the stairs. Her curves twisted in a fascinating way. However, Yang Dingtian didnt like this woman, so he completely ignored it. Ning Ruohan suddenly stopped, frowned, and told Yang Dingtian, Walk in front. Yang Dingtians expression changed. Youre afraid that I would peek at you from behind? Take advantage of you? Dont worry. My wife Yanyans body is a hundred times curvier than yours and a thousand times more attractive than yours. You can question my character but not my taste. His words changed Ning Ruohans expression, and she clenched her teeth. She continued heading upstairs. When they arrived in front of a door on the second floor, Ning Ruohan said coldly to Yang Dingtian, Miss is inside. Go in by yourself and be careful when you speak. Dont say anything when its not necessary. Dont look at things you are not supposed to look at. Miss isnt the kind that can be taken advantage of by you normal people.... Yang Dingtian didnt want to be as shallow as her, so he took a deep breath, pushed through the door, and entered. He was about to meet Dongfang Bingling again, the woman that was unforgettable but not in terms of romance. It was because this woman had hurt his pride and nearly pushed drove him to his death. Even Ximen Wuya had been destroyed due to her. Also, because this woman was his masters daughter, Yang Dingtian couldnt treat her like an ordinary enemy. But, she was his greatest opponent, and only beating her would help him gain back his dignity in this life. After entering, there was another door, a pearl curtain separating the room from the outside. Yang Dingtian took another deep breath and walked through the curtain. What he immediately saw was Dongfang Binglings back. There was a feeling of being in a different world as he met her. At the moment, although Dongfang Bingling was just standing in front of him, it felt as if she were standing on the peak of a mountain over a thousand meters tall, so high that was unreachable. Brother Yang, I never thought that we would be meeting again so soon...., Dongfang Bingling said, her voice still as cold as ice. But I felt as if its been a long time...., Yang Dingtian said. Miss Dongfang, please be direct with the reason you invited me here.... Dongfang Bingling turned around, and instantly, her delicate and unique dream-like face was revealed. Although Yang Dingtian had seen it before and his heart was filled with incomparable hatred towards this woman, he still felt the majesty of the God that was able to create such a beautiful face. This was really a face that was beautiful enough to make anyone suffocate or to even destroy their own face. Brother Yang, a few days ago when I first came to the Northwest Mainland, I heard a lot about you.... Dongfang Binglings gaze landed on Yang Dingtians face, staring at him without much hatred. At the moment, Yang Dingtian knew the reason Dongfang Bingling didnt look at him as an enemy. Dongfang Bingling had caused tremendous damage to him, which was the reason his heart was filled with hatred towards her. But in her eyes, he didnt have any weight and was completely seen as a passerby. He was not important enough to hate. I heard that youve created lots of miracles that I became curious, Dongfang Bingling said. Yang Dingtian instantly frowned. You called me over just because of this? Thats not it, Dongfang Bingling said. I called you over because I heard that youve learned an extremely mysterious swordsmanship that is known as the Pig Killing Swordsmanship, so I wanted you to perform it for me. Yang Dingtian instantly became furious. I, Yang Dingtian, rushed over here, over a few hundred miles, just to perform my swordsmanship for you? Dongfang Bingling said, Brother Yang, please dont be so angry. It was because this swordsmanship reminded me of another one. I was wondering if it was somewhat related. What swordsmanship? Yang Dingtian asked. Hidden Sects swordsmanship, Po Sa Disaster Overcoming Sword! Dongfang Bingling said. Yang Dingtian was stunned. Everyone would be shocked after hearing his name. This was because the Lord of Hidden Sect was the mightiest person in the world. Although the Hidden Sect was mostly hidden from the world, every time there was a catastrophe, it would come out and save the world. In this world, no matter how strong an elite was, he could only fight for the title of Worlds Number Two. This was because the Lord of Hidden Sect will forever be the worlds number one. No one has ever surpassed him before. Dongfang Niemie was given the title of World Number One, but that is in a world without Hidden Sect. Hidden Sect was not an ordinary person, so he was excluded from the rankings. Theyve always said that there were three Sects in the world. Those would be the Yin Yang Sect, Xuan Tian Sect, and Hidden Sect! On the surface, it felt like these three Sects were equal. But in reality, in front of Hidden Sect, the other two were nothing. Hidden Sect was the unquestioned leader of Heavens Order League, the true ruler of the world. In this world, anyone could easily rise to heaven or be banished into hell with just a word from Yin Zhong. Its because two hundred years ago, Wanmie Shendian escaped from prison and instigated a world war. Hidden Sect had once again saved the world. It had been two hundred years since the last time anyone spotted the disciples of Hidden Sect in the world. But as soon as a disciple did appear, that person would undoubtedly be the leader of Heavens Order League. Regardless of who he was, strong or weak, as soon as he appeared, he would be the leader of Heavens Order League. Now that Dongfang Bingling said that Yang Dingtians Pig Killing Swordsmanship probably had something to do with the Po Sa Disaster Overcoming Sword of Hidden Sect, how could Yang Dingtian not be shocked? If that was truly so, then this was a huge matter, more than sufficient for Dongfang Bingling to ask Yang Dingtian to meet her. Has Miss Dongfang seen the Po Sa Disaster Overcoming Sword before? Yang Dingtian asked. No one in the world has ever seen it before, Dongfang Bingling said. Its just that I heard many people say that your Pig Killing Swordsmanship is extremely difficult to cultivate, and those who have tried to cultivate it ended up becoming madmen. Also, I heard that Brother Yang used this swordsmanship in the Elimination Battle in Cloud Sky City to defeat countless elites who were way stronger than you. Most swordsmanships in the world only focus on Xuan energy, and very few focus on the sword art. As for the swordsmanship that emphasizes both, that description only fits the Po Sa Disaster Overcoming Sword. Since Brother Yangs Pig Killing Swordsmanship also seems to emphasize both, I suspected the two swordsmanships might be somewhat related. So, I specially invited you to demonstrate your swordsmanship, Dongfang Bingling said. Although what Dongfang Bingling said was reasonable, Yang Dingtian still frowned as he felt discomfort. I have to travel hundreds of miles just to demonstrate my swordsmanship for Dongfang Bingling, just because she summoned me. This is way too cheap of me. Observing Yang Dingtians expression, Dongfang Bingling asked, Is Yang brother not willing to? Its in between, but I am truly not happy about it, Yang Dingtian said. I understand what youre feeling, Dongfang Bingling said. Actually, there is another reason I came here. I was invited by the Lord of the Northwest Qin family to host the Northwest meeting of the League of Heavens Order. He said that Cloud Sky City has been killing allies too fiercely these years and proposed we expel Cloud Sky City from the League of Heavens Order. What? Yang Dingtian was shocked. The League of Heavens Order was previously formed to suppress the forces of the evil league. After the evil league vanished, this alliance continued and had been maintaining the order of the world. It was the largest force in the world and also its absolute ruler. It could be said that being a member of Heavens Order League was an extremely important identity for Cloud Sky City. If they were to lose this identity, it would be a complete disaster for Cloud Sky City. The status of Cloud Sky City was already very awkward as they were viewed as traitors of the Yin Yang Sect, which was the reason the disciples of Cloud Sky City couldnt raise their heads when they traveled around the world. The current situation was much better now than it was two hundred years ago. When Wanmie Shendian led the army of the evil league out of the prison in the sea, many factions were destroyed. The most western continent fell. Then, the western continent fell. Finally, the northwest continent fell. In the end, the final battle of the League of Heavens Order and the evil league was at the border of Cloud Sky City. At that time, the Northwest Qin family had already fallen. Cloud Sky City was standing at the forefront against the evil league. Because of their awkward status, not one of the major powers came to support them. After that, it was a statement from Hidden Sect that saved Cloud Sky City. He said that it was just a conflict within the league that was happening between Cloud Sky City and the Yin Yang Sect. They were not enemies. Then, after just a mere word from the Lord of Hidden Sect, Cloud Sky City was listed as a member of the League of Heavens Order. Since then, Cloud Sky City had been part of the righteous league instead of a mere faction. And because Cloud Sky City was listed as one of the forty-nine members of the League of Heavens Order, the Northwest Qin Family dared not swallow it even though it was at its weakest. But if Cloud Sky City were to be expelled from the Heavens Order League, the obstacle stopping the Northwest Qin Family from swallowing Cloud Sky City would disappear. This meeting was held yesterday at Catkins Village, and all the members of Heavens Order League in the Northwest Mainland agreed, including Cloud Sky City itself, Dongfang Bingling said. Yang Dingtian said in disbelief, the people of Cloud Sky City came to the meeting? How was it that we are completely unaware of it? It was Ximen Ju who came representing the elders, Dongfang Bingling said. He was the first to raise his hand to agree. Shameless..... Yang Dingtian was instantly furious. Ximen Ju, the godson of Ximen Wuya, whom the latter regarded so highly, had become so heartless as to turn to the Northwest Qin Family. It was truly shameless. Yang Dingtian never thought that the speed of the Northwest Qin family would be so quick and ruthless. Qin Shaobai had just set foot in Cloud Sky City, but the deadly attack had already arrived. Not only did Ximen Ju agree, but even the forces of Cloud Sky City agreed as well. They even revealed the blood-soaked wrongdoings of Cloud Sky City, especially those done by Metal Sword Fortress. They even suggested we kill the descendants of Ximen Wuya, Dongfang Bingling said. Yang Dingtian suppressed his anger and asked coldly, Then ultimately, was the suggestion approved? He felt incomparable pain like the time when the government of Bei Yang attended the meeting at Paris after World War One. The enemies were discussing whether or not to swallow you while you had no right to even say a word. This world was one where the strong ate the weak. It has not been approved as I havent voice my opinion, Dongfang Bingling said. I am the host of the meeting while the Hidden Sect is hidden from the world. The Xuan Tian Sect is following my decisions. So, I have the right to approve this suggestion or to deny it! So, regarding the destiny of Cloud Sky City, I have the absolute final say. Whether or not it is able to remain in the Heavens Order League will depend on my words. Are you threatening me? Yang Dingtian asked. Of course not, Dongfang Bingling said. The Northwest Qin family Lord even proposed that as soon as this suggestion was approved, you would become the common prisoner of the Heavens Order League and would be escorted to the Yin Yang Sect to face punishment. Your crime would be stealing the ring belonging to the Lord of the Yin Yang Sect. Yang Dingtian took a few deep breaths and completely calmed down. As for the tactics of the Northwest Qin family, he was no longer angry about them. It had all turned into complete hatred instead. After he calmed himself down, Yang Dingtian looked at Dongfang Bingling and said, What is your stance? Brother Yang, I have no hostility towards you, Dongfang Bingling said. Today, I called you over. If there is a slight relation between the swordsmanship that you demonstrate and Hidden Sects swordsmanship, no one would dare to propose the idea of expelling Cloud Sky City from the League of Heavens Order. This is because it can be viewed as a swordsmanship that was passed down to you from the Hidden Sect, which shows the relationship between Cloud Sky City and the Hidden Sect. Yang Dingtian said, But, no one in the world has ever seen the swordsmanship of the Hidden Sect. How could they determine if the Pig Killing Swordsmanship has any relation to their sword art? Which is why I specially invited the young master of Qing City Sword Faction, Yun Wanli. Hell be able to tell whether or not your swordsmanship has any relation to that of the Hidden Sect with just one glance, Dongfang Bingling said. Qing City Sword Faction was one of the nine factions. In fact, it was originally just a third-rate faction and wasnt listed among the Three Sects, Nine Factions, and Twenty-seven Groups. It was during the World Destruction War two hundred years ago that they performed extremely bravely despite having weak forces. The Hidden Sects Lord saw this and praised them greatly. Then, they passed a sword scroll to their faction and even summoned the only daughter of the Qing City Sword Factions Lord for a few days to give instructions. Dozens of years later, Qing City Sword Faction had grown to the point that it finally became listed as one of the top nine factions. Hence, Qing City Sword Faction was the faction that had the closest relationship with the Hidden Sect. Their swordsmanship scrolls were bequeathed by the Lord of the Hidden Sect. Although it was still far behind compared to the actual swordsmanship of the Hidden Sect, it still had some relations to it. Therefore, this Yun Wanli would truly be able to determine if Yang Dingtians Pig Killing Swordsmanship had any relations with the Po Sa Disaster Overcoming Sword of the Hidden Sect. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and nodded. Okay, I agree! Thanks, brother, Dongfang Bingling said. Then, she ordered the people outside, Let Yun Wanli, the young master of Qing City Sword Faction, come in. A couple of minutes later, a mans passionate voice sounded from the outside. Qing City Sword Factions Yun Wanli greet Dongfang angel. S?a?ch* Th? N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Please come in, Dongfang Bingling said. A man in white clothes walked in with a gentlemanly and arrogant aura. Being the force that was closest to the Hidden Sect, he was especially respected wherever he went. Even Dongfang Bingling was also polite towards him. So, Qing City Sword Faction had become one of the renowned factions, having cast off their weak past from a hundred years ago. Young master Yun, this is Yang Dingtian from Cloud Sky City, Dongfang Bingling said. Yun Wanli said politely, I am Yun Wan Li. It is my pleasure to meet Mister Yang. In the League of Heavens Order, even though they were disciples of different factions, they addressed each other as brothers. Yun Wanli addressed him as Mister Yang, which meant that he looked down on Yang Dingtians Cloud Sky City identity and was not willing to address him as such. Young master Yun, nice to meet you, Yang Dingtian said. Yun Wan Li said, I heard that Mister Yangs Pig Killing Swordsmanship is extremely mysterious that it might even have a relation to the Hidden Sect. I came here to learn about it. Yang Dingtian found that he not only sounded arrogant but even hostile. Soon, he understood where this hostility came from. Yun Wanli was extremely proud of his factions special relationship with the Hidden Sect, and they wished to have such glory exclusively for themselves. Once he heard that Yang Dingtians Pig Killing Swordsmanship might have a relation to the Hidden Sect, he instinctively developed hostility towards him, thinking that Yang Dingtian was about to snatch away their glory. He felt that Yang Dingtian did not deserve such glory and felt that he was a con artist, so he naturally wanted to expose Yang Dingtians true face. I know that your Xuan energy is very weak, so well compete with our sword arts and not Xuan energy. Is that okay? Yun Wan Li said. Okay, Yang Dingtian said as he drew his strange Millennium Owl Sword. He thought in his heart, Whether or not Cloud Sky City is able to remain in the Heavens Order League depends on you, my partner..... Then, the two of them walked to the center of the hall and began their sword art competition in front of Dongfang Bingling. Chapter 102: Dongfang Bingling, I Will Dazzle Your Eyes!

Yun Wanli wielded his sword and said. Cloud Heaven City, Pig Slaying Sword Art, Yang Dingtian held up his sword and said. After hearing Yang Dingtian saying the name of the Pig Slaying Sword Art, Yun Wanli ultimately couldnt hide the trace of mockery on his mouth. He frowned slightly and asked, Young Master Yang, what is your current cultivation? Nine-star Mystic Martial Artist, Yang Dingtian said. In an instant, Dongfang Binglings calm expression suddenly shivered. Yang Dingtian had just left the Yin Yang Sect for such a short period of time, and he actually broke through to nine-star Mystic Martial Artist? Such cultivation speed was just too shocking. But in Yun Wanlis eyes, a nine-star Mystic Martial Artist was just like an ant. He who was a Martial Mystic class expert actually had to compete with a nine-star Mystic Martial Artist? It was simply a great humiliation. If it wasnt because Dongfang Bingling was the Nine Heaven Mystic Lady, whom he admired in his heart, which prevented him from behaving rashly, he would otherwise have turned and left. How long has Young Master Yang been practicing the sword? Yun Wanli asked. About half a month, Yang Dingtian replied. Yun Wanli had an instant change in expression while his eyes were even more furious as he thought, You have only been practicing the sword for half a month, and you dare compete with me? Are you ignorant or presumptuous?! Our strength difference is truly too drastic. Even if I dont use mystic qi, there is no need for a fight, Yun Wanli frowned and said. Lets do it like this. I will execute three sword moves, from easiest to hardest. You will use your full strength to withstand them. If your sword art is related to the Hidden Sect, it will not be hard to see through it, and I will feel it too. This arrangement is fine, Yang Dingtian replied indifferently. Yun Wanli lightly clenched onto the sword hilt and said, Pay attention, I am about to execute my first sword move. This is the easiest sword move in the Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword Art. I will only use 30% of my maximum speed. I dont expect you to block it, but dont lose too miserably. Alright, Yang Dingtian responded. First sword, Universal Shift! Yun Wanlis sword abruptly drew across while the sword light lit up and the sword shadow shivered. In an instant, the surrounding air had been sliced up. It was visible to the naked eye that it had been sliced into many pieces. In this instant, the scene that Yang Dingtian was seeing felt as though it was split apart and randomly put back together. As a result, there were innumerable swords that had sliced innumerable times. A disjointed image thrust towards Yang Dingtian. It was indeed a sword art that was bestowed by the Hidden Sect Patriarch. It was truly profound. Despite Yun Wanli using only 30% of his maximum speed, it was still very fast and much faster than Yang Dingtians fastest speed. For a split moment, there was only a jumbled-up image that came crashing, and it was unknown which part was real and which part was fake. Right now, even Dongfang Bingling showed a reaction as though she had seen something breathtaking. The Fall City Sword Sects sword art was truly mystical and extraordinary. Yang Dingtian stood still as though he had been shocked by this profound sword art. Bumpkin, you have never seen such a profound sword art, right? I will dazzle your eyes! Yun Wanlis mouth revealed disdain while his sharp sword shook and he was about to strike at Yang Dingtians sword, to disarm and embarrass him. When Yun Wanli was just one foot away from Yang Dingtian, he suddenly moved. The Night Owl Strange Blade directly thrust out without any fancy tricks. It was the most ordinary straight thrust. This is your lousy sword art? And you dare to show it to others? Yun Wanli was sneering in his heart as his sword was slashing towards Yang Dingtians wrist. Give it up! He didnt just want to disarm Yang Dingtian. He wanted to make Yang Dingtian bleed and teach him a lesson. But immediately after, Yun Wanli felt this energy that suddenly blocked his sword, and he suddenly lost control of his sword, causing it to fly out from his hands. Swish... Yun Wanlis sword immediately flew over ten meters away and was motionlessly nailed into the floor. In this instant, Yun Wanli was shocked and looked at his right hand in disbelief. How could it be like this? How could this be possible? My sword art is so mystical, and it should have disarmed this insects sword and pierced his wrist! How could my sword fly off like this? Even Dongfang Bingling was shocked and looked at Yang Dingtian in disbelief. Yang Dingtian sheathed his sword with an indifferent expression. Thats right. Yun Wanlis Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword was indeed very profound and was indeed worthy of being imparted by the Hidden Sect Patriarch, which was truly mystical. In all the known sword arts in this world, in terms of sword move profundity, the Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword was only inferior to the Void Nine Calamity Sword. Furthermore, these two sword arts were of the same origins. Yang Dingtian felt as though it was someone who had seen the Void Nine Calamity Sword and memorized it before creating the Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword. Hence, these two sword arts were slightly similar. But, it was drastically different in terms of quintessence. In fact, it was entirely different. The profundity of the Void Nine Calamity Sword was to regain the natural state while the Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword aimed to continue walking the road towards more complexity, all to create that awe-inspiring effect. Furthermore, this Yun Wanli wanted to show off too much in front of Dongfang Bingling. Hence, he made the moves even more fanciful by altering some of it. Thus, to others, his sword art might be extremely complicated. But in Yang Dingtians eyes, it was filled with flaws. S?a??h th? ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Even though Yang Dingtians speed wasnt comparable to Yun Wanli, a casual thrust was enough to break Yun Wanlis sword art and even disarm him. Yun Wanli wanted to greatly humiliate Yang Dingtian but was unintentionally slapped by Yang Dingtian instead. ********** After he regained his senses, Yun Wanli wished there was a hole in the ground where he could hide inside as it was truly too humiliating. Furthermore, he had actually boasted shamelessly and even asked Yang Dingtian to try and block his sword art while his sword art was casually broken and he even was disarmed himself. There was nothing else more shameful than this. Feeling the fiery tingling on his face, Yun Wanli walked over and pulled his sword out of the ground. He grinned at Yang Dingtian with dissatisfaction and said, Young Master Yangs sword art is truly incredible. Next, please block my second sword. Second sword, Shadowless Dream! Yun Wanlis sword brandished and splattered out a bunch of sword flowers. Swish Swish Swish Swish... Afterwards, his body shifted. In an instant, his figure completely vanished, and so did his sword. He turned into a faint shadow that was rapidly revolving around Yang Dingtian. This time, he had pushed his speed to the limit. The effect was very stunning as the entire hall was filled with his figures but there was no place that had his shadows. The second move, Shadowless Dream, was truly amazing. It completely utilized the mystical maneuvers and the extreme speed to create a visual illusion, which made the practitioner invisible. If one could not even see the opponent, how was one going to defeat the opponent? Yang Dingtian kept on turning his body as though he was searching for Yun Wanlis figure. When Yun Wanli saw Yang Dingtian in this state, he finally felt that he had taken back his reputation in front of Dongfang Bingling. He sneered in his heart, Bumpkin, it was my error earlier on. Now that you see the true profundity of my sword art, you should know how amazing it is, right? Yang Dingtian was currently gasping in surprise as this Shadowless Illusion was so similar to his Void Nine Calamity Swords Sword of Rapture. But, this was also just a physical form and was just superficial. When Yun Wanli saw Yang Dingtian sighing, he was even more complacent in his heart, but his eyes suddenly turned cold. This bumpkin had caused him great humiliation earlier. Right now, he was going to make Yang Dingtian pay greatly. He stared coldly at Yang Dingtians face and was preparing to draw a triangle made of blood, which was the symbol for a slave. Yang Dingtian. This is my true sword art. Lets see how you block it! Yun Wanli laughed loudly and suddenly appeared behind Yang Dingtian. His sharp sword then drew at Yang Dingtians face. It felt as though Yang Dingtian didnt even detect him at all. Yang Dingtian, you brought this onto yourself. Dont blame me for being merciless. Yun Wanlis hand increased in speed as his sword sliced at Yang Dingtians face. He was going to leave a fresh slave mark made of blood and leave Yang Dingtian with eternal humiliation. Yang Dingtian stood still and didnt even turn around. He thrust with his backhand with a speed that couldnt even be considered fast. Clang... Yun Wanli instantly felt a pain in his arm, and he didnt know what happened as he was disarmed again. This time, it flew over a few dozen meters and was nailed into the wall with a violent shake. Previously, his sword flew over ten meters, but this time it flew over a few dozen meters and was stuck on the wall. If there was a next time, was his sword going to shoot up to the ceiling? Yun Wanli was truly going crazy. He was really going to go insane! Why did this happen? Why? His sword art was the most stunning in the world, and no matter where he went, everyone would be dumbstruck and look up to him with respect. His sword art was supposed to be the worlds no.1 sword art, which was directly imparted by the Hidden Sect Patriarch. It was supposed to be invincible and supreme. But today, his sword art had been easily neutralized by Yang Dingtian who was a mere nine-star Mystic Martial Artist. Furthermore, when Yang Dingtian neutralized his sword moves, Yang Dingtian did it as though it was as simple and crude as eating a meal and taking a piss. The first time was fine, but when he was disarmed the second time, he was even struck on the wrist. Despite the fact that Yun Wanli didnt use any mystic qi... he had been practicing the sword for more than a dozen years while Yang Dingtian had only practiced for half a month. Right now, Yun Wanli wasnt just ashamed to death, he was utterly insane from jealousy. Even his pride had been toppled. Impossible, impossible. How can you neutralize my sword art? How can you neutralize my Shadowless Dream? I have already practiced it to the extremity! Yun Wanli pointed at Yang Dingtian and spoke sternly. Yang Dingtian wanted to say, Boss, your sword art is already wrong. The more you practice it to the extreme, the worse it gets. With such a heavily flawed sword art, how can you expect me not to neutralize it? Thats right, Yang Dingtian had practiced the Void Nine Calamity Sword tens of thousands of times, and he understood the logic behind each sword move. This so-called Shadowless Dream was just a superficial version of the Void Nine Calamity Swords Sword of Rapture. It couldnt even be considered an imitation. To others, it might be unstoppable, but to Yang Dingtian, he could even neutralize it with his eyes closed. Right now, Dongfang Bingling was truly completely shocked. In just over one month, Yang Dingtian actually became so incredible? Did she really underestimate him back at the Yin Yang Sect? Did this Yang Dingtian really have such astounding innate potential? Seeing that Yun Wanli was about to go crazy, Yang Dingtian indifferently reminded him, Young Lord Yun, there is still the third sword. Hearing Yang Dingtians indifferent words, Yun Wanli instantly snapped out of it and took a deep breath to force himself to calm down. Thats right, he might have humiliated himself, but only Dongfang Bingling was present. His image in front of his goddess might have been ruined, but it was nothing much. Dongfang Bingling was originally someone that he couldnt match up to. So, his shamed reputation wouldnt be spread out. Moreover, so what if this Yang Dingtians sword art was extremely exquisite? He was just a merely nine-star Mystic Martial Artist. The most important thing in this world was mystic qi, and if he was to use his mystic qi, he would be able to crush Yang Dingtian with a single finger. But, seeing the situation right now, he had to plot this properly. If this Yang Dingtian wanted to humiliate him, then he definitely didnt want to let Yang Dingtian have his wish. Yun Wanli regained his icy coldness and walked over to pull his sharp sword out. He said, Young Master Yangs sword art is truly profound, but they were all just a single motion. There is no way to see any connection with the Hidden Sect. As for the third sword, why dont you attack me and I will defend? Yang Dingtian nodded and said, That is fine too. Yun Wanli continued and said, Furthermore, you cannot use such a straightforward and crude sword art. The Hidden Sects sword arts are filled with an immortal-like qi and are extremely mystical. Hence, the sword art that you execute needs to have the aura of the Hidden Sect and be similar to my Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword. In addition, you have to break my defenses with this sword move. This way, I will admit that your sword art is related to the Hidden Sect. How about it? As long as you cannot do one of these things, then I must apologize in advance that I will have to look on as Cloud Heaven City is expelled from the Heaven Dao Union. The third sword had two conditions. Firstly, it had to have the aura of the Hidden Sect and be similar to the Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword. Secondly, it had to break Yun Wanlis defenses. Yang Dingtian instantly laughed in his heart, Is there something even easier to do in this world? Thats right. Was there something easier than this in the world? Yang Dingtians Void Nine Calamity Sword was extremely profound, complex, and utterly brimming with immortal-like presence. When compared to the Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword, it was at least superior by several folds. As for the breaking of Yun Wanlis defenses... Without the use of mystic qi, it was basically impossible for the heavily flawed Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword to defend against the Void Nine Calamity Sword. It was impossible for Yang Dingtian to try and not break the defenses. After taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian gently drew a sword flower and looked at Dongfang Bingling. The Void Nine Calamity Sword wasnt just the no.1 mystical sword, but it was also the no.1 sword of pretense. You ignorant chick, I will let you witness my passerbys supreme sword art! Void Nine Calamity Sword, Sword of Earth Descend! It was just a single sword, but it was as if it had come from the starry river in the sky and not from the human world... Chapter 103: Dongfang Bingling’s Shock! Chapter 103: Dongfang Binglings Shock!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Sword of Earth Descend! In an instant, Yang Dingtians sharp sword became a resplendent river of stars, which drew radiance across the sky and descended, thrusting straight at Yun Wanlis head. It is only as such? Will it not be too easy to guard against you? Yun Wanli had a sneer on the edge of his mouth while the sharp sword in his hand immediately danced violently. Countless sword flowers enveloped his entire body, and it seemed like no water could seep through and no wind could escape. But when Yang Dingtians sword was descending onto his head and entering his concentrated sword net defense... Yun Wanli was shocked to realize that no matter how fast he brandished his blade, no matter how concentrated it was, he actually couldnt block Yang Dingtians sword light that was descending from the skies. His defenses couldnt even make a single contact against it. Swish... In a flash, Yang Dingtians sword immediately pierced right towards the top of Yun Wanlis head, shaving off two strands of hair. If the sword went down any further, it would have pierced through the skull directly. Yun Wanli was greatly alarmed, and he didnt even know what had happened before Yang Dingtians sword was already on top of his head. Again... Yun Wanli roared out as he flew into a rage borne of humiliation. Alright, then receive my second blade, Yang Dingtian laughed sarcastically and said. Void Nine Calamity Sword, Sword of Living Things. The sharp sword in Yang Dingtians hand shook, which instantly covered the entire room with dense chilling light while there were resonant spots. Instantaneously, several tens of blades, several hundreds of blades were let loose towards Yun Wanlis head like a torrential rain of pear blossoms. Ah... Yun Wanli let out a furious roar as he vigorously cleaved towards these countless sword flowers. His blade was extremely fast and also extremely ferocious. Yang Dingtian, you might come at me with many sword flowers, but it is ultimately one single sword. I dont care how many shadows you come with. I only care about cleaving with this sword, which will sever your trash iron sword. But soon after, when this sword cleaved down, it struck empty space. There were obviously countless sword flowers, but nothing could be cleaved. Yun Wanli was shocked and soon felt a chill on his neck. Yang Dingtians Night Owl Strange Blade was already on Yun Wanlis nape, which had shaved off two strands of soft hair. Yun Wanli was truly raging in anger. He was the young lord of the no.1 sword sect of the world but was actually humiliated in terms of sword skills, and he actually had no way to retaliate against his attacker. Again..., Yun Wanli bellowed with a stern voice. If I am unable to defend against your blade, my Fall City Sword Sect will not be the no.1 sword sect of the world. You, Yang Dingtian, shall be the closest person to the Hidden Sect. Your Cloud Heaven City shall be the closest influential force to the Hidden Sect. Alright. Again then..., Yang Dingtian said. Void Nine Calamity Sword, Sword of Merciless. The sharp sword in Yang Dingtians hand shook, which instantly revolved with a cold light, turning the sharp sword into an obscure state like an imaginary spirit. It revolved around Yun Wanli, making it looked like it was far away, yet close at hand. Whirlwind Fury Slash. Yun Wanlis body was spinning with lightning speed while the sharp sword in his hand was like an electric fan that was spinning frantically, cutting every inch of air while crushing towards Yang Dingtians figure. Suddenly, a cold light burst forth. Yun Wanli felt a sudden chill in front of his eyes, which caused his whirlwind to come to a sudden stop. Because if he spun just a little more, his eyes would have been blinded by the blade. S?a??h the N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Ah... Yun Wanli yelled out with rage and said, Again... Sure, again! Yang Dingtian responded. Void Nine Calamity Sword, Sword of Rapture! The sharp sword shook slightly in his hand while the solid sword suddenly bent and warped gracefully like a rising spiral of smoke. It hovered around tactfully. It looked gentle and unbounded. There was a beautiful and gentle halo that was roaming around Yun Wanli. Yun Wanlis eyes were fixated on this halo as he burst out with a roar and used his sharp sword to slash downwards. But, it missed. He couldnt slash anything. Suddenly, this gentle halo became a severe cold light in an instant. Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish... There were five sudden bursts of severe and ferocious sword flowers. Yun Wanli felt a sudden cold in front of his chest where he saw his clothing had already been cut into five pieces, revealing the skin on his chest. There were even five shallow wounds, and it was obvious that Yang Dingtian had been merciful. Otherwise, it would be five deep gashes. Again... Again... Again... Every time Yun Wanli was enraged, he would say again where he would defend yet another time. Void Nine Calamity Sword, Sword of No Horizon. Void Nine Calamity Sword, Sword of Selfless. Void Nine Calamity Sword, Sword of Great Sorrow. Void Nine Calamity Sword, Sword of Dark Extinguish. Void Nine Calamity Sword, Sword of No Calamity. Every blade that Yang Dingtian executed was profound and unparalleled. Every move was resplendent with magnificence. Every move was mysterious and unpredictable. Every move spiraled with a breath of magic. With every move, Yang Dingtian was able to break Yun Wanlis defenses effortlessly, bringing the tip of his sword to the most vital parts of the body. Every move resulted in the utter defeat of this young lord from the Fall City Sword Sect. After nine moves, Yun Wanlis clothes were in disorder while his hair was disheveled like he was in a state of madness. He was truly tormented by Yang Dingtian, almost to the state of madness. Ah... Yang Dingtian, you lowly existence, I am going to kill you and dismember your corpse into thousands of pieces! Yun Wanli burst out with a sudden roar while the mystic qi surged from his body along with the murderous aura that was bursting towards the sky. He brandished the sharp sword in his hand while he slashed at Yang Dingtian in a frenzy. He was a Martial Mystic Class expert, which was several classes higher than Yang Dingtian. In this instant, Yang Dingtian could feel the fatal and murderous aura that was approaching him. Enough..., Dongfang Bingling yelled with a loud and clear voice. The air immediately turned cold as the flower vase on the table instantly shattered along with the bonsais on the windows, which vanished like a puff of dust. Yun Wanli, who was rushing towards Yang Dingtian, abruptly came to a stop as though his body was frozen and was unable to move even half an inch forward. Dongfang Binglings beautiful eyes were completely fixed on Yang Dingtians body before finally gazing at his face. When Yang Dingtian was defending earlier, she was slightly surprised. But now, her beautiful eyes were filled with unimaginable shock! It was as though this was the first time she met him, as though she didnt even know him from before. She had traveled the world and witnessed many profound sword arts, but none were as stunning as the sword art Yang Dingtian displayed. None made her ponder over them like this. Such a beautiful and mysterious sword art caused complete intoxication. This was truly and without a doubt the no.1 sword in the world! Even with Dongfang Binglings wisdom, she nearly lost herself in the sword art. This Yang Dingtian actually became so brilliant and completely unbelievable after just such a short time away. ... Taking a deep breath, Dongfang Bingling expelled all thoughts from her mind and spoke while looking at Yun Wanli, Young Lord Yun, are you able to make a judgment now? Does Yang Dingtians sword art has any relation to the Hidden Sect? Yun Wanli was completely sober now. He had lost his mind due to wrath and hatred earlier. Hence, he actually thought about killing someone in front of Dongfang Bingling. Now that he thought about it, he felt a lingering fear. He might be a Martial Mystic Class expert, but a gentle flick from Dongfang Binglings finger could crush him with ease. Even though he hated Yang Dingtian to the core of his bones and wished he could tear him into pieces, he couldnt do it here. Not in front of Dongfang Bingling. I will spare your life. After you leave this place, I will let you die without a complete corpse, Yun Wanli spoke coldly in his heart. He totally disregarded Yang Dingtians background as Ximen Wuya was no longer around and Cloud Heaven City was just a piece of dung. Does Yang Dingtians sword art have any deep relations to the Hidden Sect? Dongfang Bingling asked again with impatience. Oh... Yun Wanli quickly awakened from the hatred in his heart before his expression became unfathomable. Yang Dingtian was currently staring at Yun Wanlis face, waiting for his answer. Even Ning Ruohan, who was behind the door, peeked in and looked closely at Yun Wanli, waiting for his answer. Yun Wanlis answer was going to determine whether the Cloud Heaven City would be able to remain within the Heaven Dao Union. But, it was obvious, as long as one wasnt blind, to see that the breathtaking and profound sword art that Yang Dingtian demonstrated was of common origin with Fall City Sword Sects Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword. No, if it was said like this, it would be a compliment to the Fall City Sword Sects Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword. If described more accurately, the Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword was just the surface of the sword art demonstrated by Yang Dingtian. It was the crudest replica of it. If the Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword had some relations to the Hidden Sect, then it was unknown how much more superior Yang Dingtians Pig Slaying Sword Art was. Hence, there was no need to wait for Yun Wanlis answer. One could tell immediately as long as one wasnt blind. Taking a deep breath, Yun Wanli spoke coldly, Yang Dingtians Pig Slaying Sword Art has no relations to the Hidden Sect. When Yun Wanli gave his judgment, Yang Dingtians expression changed. How could someone be so shameless? Wasnt he just speaking blindly? There was this sneer on the edge of Yun Wanlis mouth when he continued, On the contrary, his sword art reminds me of the Evil Daos Supreme Asura Sword Art. Not only did they have similar forms, but they also have an uncanny resemblance. Yang Dingtian had this immediate chill in his heart. Not only did this Yun Wanli wanted to deny his Pig Slaying Sword Art, he even wanted Yang Dingtian to die. Whether it was because Yang Dingtian let him suffer extreme humiliation or because he wanted his Fall City Sword Sect to solely benefit from the glory of the close relationship with the Hidden Sect... Yun Wanli wanted Yang Dingtian to die. The Evil Dao was something everyone wanted to punish. If Yang Dingtian was related to the Evil Dao, then the world would have no place for him. The entire world, the entire Heaven Dao Union would pursue Yang Dingtian, and Cloud Heaven City would be consigned to eternal damnation. After Yun Wanli finished his statement, Dongfang Bingling shot a glance at him with her beautiful eyes and said nothing. Instead, it was Ning Ruohan who was standing by the side, who had a change in expression, revealing her contempt. Alright, I know now. Dongfang Bingling spoke indifferently, Young Lord Yun, you may be dismissed. Young Lady Dongfang, the Evil Dao are evildoers, and everyone desires to slay them. Do not let this demon from the Evil Dao infiltrate our Heaven Dao Union, Yun Wanli said. Dongfang Bingling furrowed her brows slightly and replied, I know what I have to do. Ruohan, send out the guest. Ning Ruohan didnt look pleased either. She stepped forward towards Yun Wanli and said, This way please! Fairy Dongfang, this lowly Yun shall take his leave. Yun Wanli said and glared at Yang Dingtian before leaving. Senior Yang, this Yun Wanli is speaking off the cuff. What do you think about it? Dongfang Bingling asked. Yang Dingtian let out a sarcastic laugh and said, It is not what I think that matters. It is what you think, Fairy Dongfang. Senior Yang, the fact of whether your sword art is related to to the Hidden Sect, isnt determined by Yun Wanli, nor is it determined by you, Dongfang Bingling spoke apathetically. It is determined by me. If I say it is, then Cloud Heaven City can be saved. If I say it isnt, then Cloud Heaven City will face a disaster. Furthermore, the relationship between you and the Evil Dao can all be determined with a single statement from me. Yang Dingtian spoke unenthusiastically, I know that Fairy Dongfangs authority is high up in the skies. Stop your riddles and give your judgment. Dongfang Bingling gave Yang Dingtian a deep look and said, Senior Yang, I made the wrong judgment back at the Yin Yang Sect. I thought that your talent was mediocre. Hence, I treated you with disregard. This trip to the Northwest continent, I heard about your miraculous feat and I was in doubt. Hence, I summoned you here. I didnt expect that you are much more outstanding than what those people said. Subsequently, Dongfang Bingling turned her delicate body to face towards the window. Senior Yang, my magnanimity is broad like the sky, and I will not bother about the trifling matters. Thus, even if you did offend me before, I completely disregard it. When I use someone, I only look at their capability. What about this? I can guarantee the safety of Cloud Heaven City. Not only can I make it stay in the Heaven Dao Union, but I can even stop the Northwest Qin Clan from annexing it. But, I have one condition. Oh? Yang Dingtian asked. What condition? You are to break up and go separate ways with Ximen Yanyan. Sever all ties with Cloud Heaven City and return to my Yin Yang Sect. Dongfang Bingling then said indifferently, I am the one in charge of the Yin Yang Sect now, and I can use all my capability to nurture you. The Yin Yang Sects resources are something not even ten Cloud Heaven Citys can compare with. I only have one target, which is to break through to become a Martial Saint, which is something no one has been able to do in four centuries. I will wash my hands of all Yin Yang Sect matters from now on and will hand it over to you and Senior Leng Wuyan. When that time comes, the two of you will be my left and right arms. You shall be revered by everyone in this world. After hearing Dongfang Binglings terms, Yang Dingtian was utterly stunned. He would never have expected Dongfang Bingling to raise such a condition. It was just absurd. After seeing Yang Dingtians surprised look, Dongfang Bingling spoke calmly, Do not be so surprised. I am a person who only cares about the great cause and will not be disturbed by personal grievances, even though you offended me and I was originally prepared to kill you. But as long as you have the capability, I can forget all resentments and still regard you highly. Yang Dingtian just wanted to laugh in his heart. He immediately let out two laughs and said, Fairy Dongfang is sure magnanimous, huh? A pity that I will not be able to enjoy this wonderful thing. Why? Are you reluctant about Ximen Yanyan? Dongfang Bingling knitted her brows and said, If you have such a narrow vision, you will not be able to accomplish any great feats. Once you have accomplishments, wouldnt you have all the women you want? If you are truly reluctant about a beautiful woman, is the Ning Ruohan with me enough? Shall I bestow her to you? Tonight, she can be your woman. At this moment, Ning Ruohan, who had finished sending Yun Wanli off had returned and coincidentally heard Dongfang Binglings proposal, to which she immediately exclaimed. Young Lady, Ning Ruohan spoke in a trembling voice. Do you dare go against my orders? Dongfang Bingling spoke indifferently. Ning Ruohans delicate body immediately shivered as her small face abruptly turned pale as she looked down and replied, This servant doesnt dare to! Afterward, Ning Ruohan looked at Yang Dingtian with eyes that were filled with resentment. I better not. Yang Dingtian laughed loudly and said, The woman by your side is rather arrogant. I dont think I can enjoy it. If I bring her back, it will just be a chore for me. I still like my Yanyan better. Yang Dingtian can only decline Fairy Dongfangs beautiful proposal. Dongfang Binglings expression turned cold as she spoke apathetically, I am offering you a favor, yet you choose to take my fury? Do you want to look on as Cloud Heaven City is expelled from the Heaven Dao Union? Are you going to look on helplessly as Cloud Heaven City falls into the hands of the Northwest Qin Clan? You should know that I have do not have a hint of a favorable impression of Cloud Heaven City. If you are to refuse my goodwill, why should I help your Cloud Heaven City? Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and spoke each word clearly, Fairy Dongfang, did you actually forget that we have a five-year promise? In five years, I will represent Cloud Heaven City and challenge you at the Yin Yang Sect to take back the dignity that belongs to me. Did you truly forget about it? Chapter 104: Yun Wanli’s Miserable Death! Supreme Devil Woman Chapter 104: Yun Wanlis Miserable Death! Supreme Devil WomanTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Five-year promise? Dongfang Bingling said. Oh, that five-year promise. Back on that sea, because my mother was trying to commit suicide to save you, I promised to give you five more years of life. In five years, I would kill you and take back the Ring of Flames. Afterward, Dongfang Bingling added, Since Im allowing you to return to the Yin Yang Sect, then I will not kill you in five years. Such a promise will naturally be canceled. You dont have to worry. But you must still hand over the Sect Patriarchs command right. Of course, seeing the relationship you have with my father, I will let you hold onto the Ring of Flames during normal occasions. Because once you are sufficiently strong, I will hand over all the internal affairs of the Yin Ying Sect to you. Then, you will govern over everyone in the Yin Yang Sect and be second only to me. Yang Dingtian was utterly speechless. The five-year promise was like a ghastly scar that was etched in his heart, that reminded him constantly to grow stronger, to take back his dignity. The five-year promise had even become his lifelong mission. It became an important part of his life. The five-year promise already took up a huge portion of space in his heart, and it had completely become the objective that he would die fighting for. But Dongfang Bingling actually seemed to have forgotten about it. In her heart, this five-year promise was merely made under the pressure from her mother, and it was to give Yang Dingtian five more years of life, which meant that after five years, she would simply take the Ring of Flames away from him. Leaving aside the fact that she didnt treat Yang Dingtian as an opponent, she didnt even treat him as dust. This was the most sorrowful thing, and nothing could surpass it. You treat your opponent as a lifelong enemy and strive towards the goal of defeating her. But your opponent had actually forgotten about this matter completely. Such humiliation was actually even much worse than the time when Dongfang Bingling refused the marriage agreement with Yang Dingtian. Despite the fact that she didnt do it intentionally, in her eyes, there was no trace of Yang Dingtians figure. Right now, Yang Dingtian couldnt even get angry as he just chuckled, burying all those unyielding feelings and humiliations in his heart. I am going to become stronger. I am going to become stronger. One day, I will stand on top of the world in front of you and use my sword to tell you that I, Yang Dingtian, am much more magnificent and stronger than you, Dongfang Bingling, Yang Dingtian roared in his heart. But his face had this faint smile as he said, Yes, I am talking about that. Dongfang Bingling was astonished for a moment before she spoke. You wouldnt be thinking of actually challenging me in five years? Yang Dingtian nodded with a serious expression. Dongfang Binglings eyes turned cold as she commented, I didnt think there would be someone who was so ignorant. Shortly after, Dongfang Bingling spoke indifferently, That means to say that you are refusing my goodwill? Yes, Yang Dingtian replied. Dongfang Bingling gestured with jade hands and said, Then, I understand. You may go back. That gesture was just like she was patting off some dust. I shall take my leave then, Yang Dingtian replied and turned to leave. Thats right, Senior Yang. I have something to tell you, Dongfang Bingling said. Using the Yin Yang Festival to achieve a breakthrough in mystic qi isnt considered talent, and there will not be a second event like that. It is useless even if the sword art is profound. It will at best be similar to the group of women from the Seven Refined Lane, who can only put on some demonstrations for pleasure. Dont lose yourself just because you have these two things and overestimate yourself. You will only cause your own ruin. Yang Dingtian let out a faint smile and replied, Many thanks for Fairy Dongfangs warning. I have learned a lot. Yang Dingtian continued to walk outside. Just at this moment, an incomparably enchanting voice echoed from the outside, which was hoarse and sexy, icy and arrogant, yet filled with this magic that had the ability to entice. Dongfang Bingling, since you are in the Northwest Continent, I really want to take a look at you. Why dont you come out? This voice wasnt loud, but it resonated in everyones heart, which caused an itch in everyones body, an itch that enticed you to extend your hand to scratch. Just the voice itself had this devilish charm. Dongfang Binglings expression changed slightly. Without a doubt, this woman was an expert of the elite class. She was a female expert that Dongfang Bingling had never seen before. Right now, Yang Dingtian was already outside the doors and could hear this womans voice, but he couldnt see her figure. Where is this demon woman? You actually dare to barge into my Willow Silk Manor. You must be courting death! Soon after, another voice broke out from the outside. Afterward, the steward of Willow Silk Manor led a few dozen warriors and suddenly leaped into the sky, rushing towards the direction where that womans voice came from. At this moment, Yang Dingtian had blurred vision as he saw a figure appeared under a huge tree out of nowhere. It was a woman, a woman wearing mens clothes and a golden mask. Her face wasnt revealed, but it exposed her pair of eyes, which were captivating like a river of stars that glimmered in deep seclusion. Despite wearing mens clothes, her slender and delicate body had curves like undulating mountains, which were filled with a devilish charm. This was a woman with the most enchanting figure that Yang Dingtian had ever seen. She was also the woman with the most captivating eyes. Demon woman, how dare you show yourself? Receive your death! The steward of the Willow Silk Manor, Liu Chengyan, laughed and suddenly pounced at the woman like a goshawk hunting a rabbit. He was a Martial Mystic Class expert, and this leap of his was extremely imposing and powerful. Swish... That womans sleeve gently flicked. In an instant, the Martial Mystic Class Liu Chengyan and the several warriors from the manor that rushed over were abruptly turned into smithereens in midair. There wasnt a hint of a scream nor any cry of surprise. They were immediately dissected and turned into pieces of flesh, which were all the size of sand, spraying everywhere, dying the ground completely in red. Yang Dingtian was in utter shock! This woman was actually so powerful and completely surpassed all of Yang Dingtians comprehension. A Martial Mystic Class expert and several warriors from the manor were instantly killed with a flick of her sleeve. After killing them, this woman looked towards Dongfang Binglings direction and laughed while saying, I have always heard that Dongfang Bingling is the worlds no.1 youth expert. Her unparalleled talent is something no one can beat. She is destined to be the worlds no.1 in fifteen years. So, I have come specially to take a look. Haha! What kind of status does Fairy Dongfang have? Would she need to make a move against a lowly person like you? Suddenly, straightforward laughter could be heard from the loft. This voice was very familiar as it was Fall City Sword Sects Yun Wanli. He then appeared like a butterfly, drifting out from the loft and standing on the corner edge of the roof. He had already changed into a snow-white long robe, and his hair was combed in a tidy manner, instantly restoring his handsome and confident outlook. He was currently standing on the corner edge of the roof, and as the breeze blew across, it made him look even more dashing as he exuded the demeanor of an expert. Yun Wanli held his sword and stood tall, looking down pridefully at the golden-masked woman below and said, Since you are so foolish and ignorant, let me teach you a lesson on Fairy Dongfangs behalf. You are a woman, so I shall let you have the first move. Yun Wanli held his sword with a single hand while his other hand was placed behind. It was obvious that he didnt see the scene in which Liu Chengyan had been killed earlier. Today, he had been completely humiliated by Yang Dingtian. Hence, he was changing his clothes earlier. Apart from thinking of ways to turn Yang Dingtians corpse into thousands of pieces, he was also thinking of how he could restore his reputation in front of Dongfang Bingling. He never would have expected a foolish woman to come knocking and challenge Dongfang Bingling. It was truly an opportunity given by heaven. He thought it was just the right moment for Dongfang Bingling to see how formidable he was. It was also a chance for him to demonstrate how powerful and elegant the Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword was after it was enhanced with mystic qi. Furthermore, there were plenty of experts from the Northwest Continent in the manor. Hence, he didnt believe his life was in danger. May I know who you are? the golden masked woman asked. Fall City Sword Sect, Yun Wanli. Yun Wanli spoke with a reserved tone. You are a woman. Please make your first move. Right now, he didnt see how Yang Dingtian was looking at him like he was an idiot. Of course, Ning Ruohan and even Dongfang Bingling was looking in his direction but had the same expressions, as if they were looking at an idiot. But Yun Wanli interpreted this subtle feeling as if he was at the center of everyones attention. The golden-masked woman looked at Yun Wanli who was on the roof and replied, Alright, then I shall not hold back. Come as you like..., Yun Wanli said as he laughed. The golden-masked woman unsheathed her artifact sword and slashed towards the sky. Swish... In an instant, the dashing Yun Wanli, who was drifting like an immortal, was immediately cleaved in half before he fell to the ground. Not a single scream was heard. Not even blood flowed. In this instant, Yang Dingtian did have a little sympathy towards this moron. Everyone obviously knew he was going to throw his life away, but no one said anything to stop him. It was clear that everyone hated this Yun Wanli who relied on that tiny bit of relation to the Hidden Sect to ride roughshod over everyone. After killing Yun Wanli, that golden masked woman commented, I actually thought he was strong. She was truly a demon woman who even stomped her victims corpse viciously after killing them. Dongfang Bingling was still in the loft as she asked indifferently, May I know who you are? Temple of Ten Thousand Blood, Dugu Fengwu, that woman in the golden mask replied enthusiastically. After announcing her origin, there were plenty of gasps of surprise that came from the manor. The Temple of Ten Thousand Blood was one of the leading figures of the Evil Dao. Two centuries ago, when the Shrine Master of the Shrine of Ten Thousand Extermination initiated the world-exterminating war, the Temple of Ten Thousand Blood was his right and left arms. The Evil Dao... It was actually the Evil Dao. After vanishing without a trace for two centuries, the Evil Dao actually emerged once again. Furthermore, they immediately challenged the Heaven Dao Unions no.1 prodigy, Dongfang Bingling, with a woman that had bewitching charm. Evil Daos demon woman, you are not qualified to challenge the fairy of our Heaven Dao Union. I, Bai Zhange, of the Yin Yang Sect shall try your skills. A tall and sturdy figure suddenly rushed towards the sky. The sharp sword in his hand was like a shooting star, which thrust towards Dugu Fengwu ferociously. It was Bai Zhange, Dongfang Binglings Master Uncle, who was of the same generation as Dongfang Niemie. He was the youngest junior among his generation. Five Star Martial Ancestor! Hence, once this blade was executed, it was extremely impressive and shocking. When Dugu Fengwu saw Bai Zhange diving at her, she remained still, and when the distance between them was twenty feet, the sharp sword in her hand gently slashed across the sky. Swish... Fresh blood spurted violently as Bai Zhanges large head flew several meters away. A Martial Ancestor Class expert was still instantly killed in one move! Dongfang Bingling still didnt step in. Right now, all those experts who were on the same floor of the loft as Yang Dingtian and the chiefs of the Northwest Continent all stood up. The leader among them yelled out, Everyone, attack together. There is no need to care about righteousness when dealing with such Evil Dao demons! After that statement, more than a dozen individuals leaped into the air and dashed towards Dugu Fengwu in unison. These individuals were all chiefs that governed lands that were a hundred miles wide, and every one of them was a Martial Ancestor Class expert. The imposing presence of these experts in the air was truly astounding, and it looked as though they were about to tear this Dugu Fengwu into pieces. Dugu Fengwus captivating eyes had this trace of mockery as her body flashed and instantly vanished from Yang Dingtians eyes. Suddenly, the manor was filled with this fascinating fragrance because Dugu Fengwu was drifting everywhere at once. Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish... As the sword light shivered, it was like the twinkling stars in the night sky. Ah... s?a??h th? N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Ah... Ah... Ah... Bloodcurdling screams echoed one after the other as all these chiefs from the Northwest Continent fell like dumplings into the water. After they landed, fresh blood sprayed violently while their bones were crushed. Their mystic meridians were shattered. Their inner organs were smashed and had all turned into a pulp of flesh. Fairy Dongfang sure is ruthless, huh? She is actually unconcerned after seeing so many people die. The golden masked woman spoke apathetically. Then, dont blame me for causing a massacre here in the manor. After her words ended, Dugu Fengwus figure vanished from Yang Dingtians eyes again as she moved swiftly through the courtyard like a phantom. Which was quickly followed by a burst of fresh blood and miserable screams. In just half a minute, Dugu Fengwu came back to her original position without any traces of blood on her body. There wasnt a drop of blood on her sword either. Why are there only slightly more than a hundred individuals here? I have yet to quell my craving for killing, Dugu Fengwu stated dully. Meanwhile, Yang Dingting was truly trembling right now. When people talked about how evil and cruel the Evil Dao was before, he didnt get much of an impression. Right now, he finally witnessed it personally. Over a hundred martial artists, wiped out in a blink of the eye, even before they could frown. All these lives were treated like dirt. Every inch of Yang Dingtians body was steeped in deep shock and ice-cold fear. Moreover, the one who was even more ruthless than Dugu Fengwu was Dongfang Bingling, who everyone regarded as the almighty fairy with the utmost admiration. The people of the Willow Silk Manor were the people of the Yin Yang Sect, but in order to observe Dugu Fengwus strength, she actually allowed the opposition to conduct a massacre. Her state of mind was so tough, cold, and ruthless like no one Yang Dingtian had ever seen or ever heard of. After finishing her statement, Dugu Fengwu gently swung her jade arm as though her hand was sore from all those killings. Then, her captivating eyes suddenly landed on Yang Dingtian and Ning Ruohan. She then said insipidly, So, I have yet to finish killing, and there are two more here. It is actually a man. Dongfang Bingling, is he your lover? Without waiting for Dongfang Binglings answer, Dugu Fengwu said dully, Since killing a few hundred individuals is also killing, then one or two more will not make a difference. I shall just kill them too. Finishing her statement, she lifted her jade hands and slashed through the air with her artifact sword, towards Yang Dingtian and Ning Ruohan. This sword qi was shadowless and formless, but it was lethal! Yang Dingtian could see the severing of the dense branches, the thick pillar, and the hard boulder. The strange thing was, this sword qi actually wasnt lightning fast, and by the time it was in front of him, more than a second had passed. This demon woman actually made it so artistic even when she was killing someone. Yang Dingtian could distinctly see that this sword qi was going to cut across his waist directly. Originally, Yang Dingtian wanted to dodge quickly but then decided to remain still because he was wearing the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes, which could withstand mystic qi attacks. This sword qi was made up entirely of mystic qi. The sword qi would arrive soon. At this moment, Yang Dingtian noticed the pale look on Ning Ruohans face. She was standing there foolishly, as though she was frightened by the bloody scene in front of her. In his eyes, this young lass with small breasts was about to be cut in half and turned into a ruined piece of jade. Sigh, forget it, I shall save your life! Yang Dingtian thought in his heart as he turned lightning-fast and dove towards her. What are you doing? Ning Ruohan was astonished as she yelled out delicately. Meanwhile, the sword qi ferociously struck Yang Dingtians back. Yang Dingtian and Ning Ruohan both flew like rice straws. Bang... At the same moment, Dongfang Binglings body burst with mystic qi. In an instant, the giant loft was blown up into smithereens. Dongfang Binglings delicate body flew up a hundred meters into the sky. She was wielding her sword and looked just like a mystic woman from the nine heavens. Dugu Fengwu, I know you. Dongfang Bingling looked down at the masked woman and said, Evil Daos no.1 prodigy, the daughter of the Temple of Ten Thousand Bloods Temple Master, Dugu Xiao. You are also known as the Devil Woman of the Nine Heavens. After seeing you today, you are nothing much. Dugu Fengwu abruptly flew up to midair and floated. She was a hundred meters away from Dongfang Bingling. She smiled and said, Is that so? Then, we shall have a good fight today and see who is more formidable. Is it your Heaven Dao Union or my Evil Dao? Sure..., Dongfang Bingling replied indifferently, I havent encountered an opponent like you in a very long time. Finishing her statement, her sword straightened while her body burst with limitless mystic qi, which instantly enveloped the entire sky over Willow Silk Manor. The exceptional fight between the two generation prodigies of the Evil Dao and Heaven Dao Union was about to begin! Chapter 105: Senior Brother, Kill This Demon Woman! Chapter 105: Senior Brother, Kill This Demon Woman!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales In the sky a hundred meters above, Dongfang Bingling and Dugu Fengwu were in an intense fight. Their astonishing sword qi was weaving around each other, destroying the surface of the ground. The dazzling sword lights shot out, turning everything in their path into dust. ... At this same moment, Yang Dingtian was buried in a pile of debris. After being hit on the back by the sword qi, he felt his vision turning black as he vomited a mouthful of fresh blood and hugged Ning Ruohan as they flew. Dugu Fengwus sword qi was extremely powerful, but Yang Dingtian merely vomited a mouthful of blood before fainting for a short moment. He was then quickly awakened by the loud bangs from the sky. Right now, he felt something soft and filled with elasticity underneath him. With the softness in his hand, he couldnt help but instinctively knead it with his hand. For a moment, he couldnt understand what it was. Umm... There was a soft voice that actually came from below as Ning Ruohan, who was beneath him, gradually awakened. She felt two big hands pressing on and kneading her soft breasts. Ning Ruohan had yet to experience adult relationships and had a rather sensitive body. Her tender and soft mounds were being kneaded, which caused a slight pain and numbing sensation and abruptly awakened her. She instantly saw that it was Yang Dingtian who was pressing on her and that it was actually Yang Dingtians hands that were kneading her breasts. Ah..., Ning Ruohan exclaimed and violently pushed Yang Dingtian to the side. She then scolded, Yang Dingtian, you scoundrel, I will kill you... Soon enough, she stood up and kicked at Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian was now sober, and when he saw Ning Ruohans jade foot kicking over, he couldnt help but grab her foot and tug with his strength. Ning Ruohan might just be Dongfang Binglings sword servant, but her cultivation was already at the Great Mystic Martial Master Class. It was just that she had just awakened and didnt use her mystic qi to kick. Hence, her foot was caught by Yang Dingtian. She was most afraid of being tickled, causing half her body to feel numb and lose all strength. She immediately fell towards Yang Dingtian again. Yang Dingtian dodged to the side, allowing this delicate little beauty crash into a pile of debris. Yang Dingtian, I am going to kill you. Ning Ruohan was angered but still delicate. She tried to look for a random piece of wood to hit him with. Stop! Yang Dingtian let out a ferocious yell. Ning Ruohan was shocked and forgot to swing downwards with the wooden stick in her hands. You are such an unreasonable woman. I couldnt bear to see you get killed by the demon womans blade. Thus, I risked my life to save you. Not only did you not thank me, you scream of killing me the moment you wake up? It seems like a vicious master will produce a vicious servant as well. Yang Dingtian spoke coldly. Similarly ungrateful. Ning Ruohan was stunned after being reprimanded. She recalled the incident earlier, and Yang Dingtian did try to save her. Otherwise, she would be in two pieces right now. I dont need your rescue. Ning Ruohan didnt want to lose her vigor as she spoke furiously, Moreover, do you think you can take advantage of me after rescuing me? S?a??h th? N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. How did I take advantage of you? Yang Dingtian asked. You... you touched my breasts, Ning Ruohan said with shame and resentment. Is touching your breasts taking advantage of you? Do you even have breasts? Yang Dingtian asked. That place was so flat, I thought it was your back. Otherwise, why would I put my hand there? Moreover, my wife, Yanyan, has breasts that are ten thousand times more gorgeous than yours. I cant even get enough of it. Why would I touch yours? Yang Dingtians cruel tongue caused immense anger to boil up in Ning Ruohan. Her eyes instantly turned red as tears began to flow violently. She cried loudly and said, Yang Dingtian, you scoundrel, you rogue, I am going to kill you, kill you... Afterward, she clutched her fist tightly and hammered at Yang Dingtian desperately. Truly a mad woman, Yang Dingtian commented as he dodged to the side. Ning Ruohan couldnt catch up and eventually just sat on the ground and wailed loudly. In the sky, the two women were still in the middle of their intense fight. Rumbles echoed loudly while Yang Dingtians eyes were blinded by sword lights that were hundreds of feet long and bursting with flames. On the ground, a young lass was still wailing. She was crying so much that she was gasping for breath. Ning Ruohan was normally just like her master, cold like ice with a prideful demeanor. Right now, she was seated on the ground and wailing, which didnt seem to suit her personality. Yang Dingtian ignored her and allowed her to cry. But who could have known that she would actually cry even louder and more ferociously? Yang Dingtian took a closer look at her figure, which was slender and slim, like it belonged to a sixteen or seventeen-year-old. Sigh, why am I fighting against a child ? Yang Dingtian sighed and walked over to say, Alright alright, stop crying. It is my fault, and I shouldnt have criticized you, and I shouldnt have touched your breasts. But I really didnt do it intentionally. Whats more, your breasts might not be huge, but they are rather cute when they are so petite. Furthermore, you are still young, and it will still grow in the future. Ning Ruohan lifted her head and yelled at Yang Dingtian, I am already twenty years old! Ah... Yang Dingtian was surprised. If she was still so small at 20 years of age, then she was born to be flat-chested and didnt have any more room for development. Dont worry, there are still people who will like a woman like you, Yang Dingtian tried to console her. It is none of your business, you rogue, Ning Ruohan spoke loudly, I will not go looking for you even if no one wants me. Yang Dingtian sniffed his nose and said, Of course you shouldnt come looking for me. I am a married man. Ning Ruohan ignored Yang Dingtian and was still seated on the ground, hugging her knees and crying. One of her reason for the crying was because of Yang Dingtians vicious tongue, while the other reason was that Dongfang Bingling actually left her for dead earlier. She had viewed Dongfang Bingling as an idol, as an elder sister and also as the closest person to her. But she didnt think that Dongfang Bingling would totally disregard her life and death. Yang Dingtian sighed and said, Do not be hurt by someone who isnt worth it. You should learn lesser things from Dongfang Bingling. It is none of your business, you rogue, Ning Ruohan cried and said. You just know this statement, huh? Yang Dingtian said and then ignored her. He stood up and went around to look for Ximen Lie. He quickly found him just a few meters away. Ximen Lie was currently seated with his eyes closed while powerful mystic qi was bursting from his body. Yang Dingtian could clearly see that there were countless shards of rock that flew towards him like bullets, but before they could even reach him, they had bounced off of Ximen Lies mystic qi. As the two women were locked in an intense fight in the sky, large amounts of sword qi would be shot to the ground, causing devastation in every inch of land. Things would be turned into smithereens wherever the two womens sword qi landed. But when the sword qi shot towards Yang Dingtian, it would be deflected by Ximen Lies mystic qi shield This was the heat that rose up in Yang Dingtians heart when he realized that Ximen Lie had been using his own mystic qi to protect him. Yang Dingtian knew that this way of using the mystic qi was incredibly exhausting. Thank you, Big Brother, Yang Dingtian gave his thanks. He then drew the Night Owl Giant Sword and came to Ximen Lies side. Right now, Dongfang Bingling and Dugu Fengwus battle was at the peak. All the architecture that Yang Dingtian could see, as well as the garden, was basically destroyed. There were two sword lights. One of them was blue, and the other was red. If any single sword light cleaved down, an entire firmly constructed house would be immediately blown into smithereens, leaving a crack that was several meters long in the ground. After just a few minutes of this intense and insane battle, the entire manor was in complete disorder. All of the ponds were sealed with ice. Patches of forest were burnt into cinders. Half of the Willow Silk Manor had been destroyed, but there still wasnt a clear victor between the two women. The sword lights that were each several hundred feet long. They dazzled everyones eyes as they continued to pierce through the night sky. The sword qi released by the two of them were just like artillery shells. Wherever they hit, they would turn that place into dust. These two women were truly worthy of being the two strongest women in the world. Big Brother, which of these two women do you think is stronger? Yang Dingtian asked. Ximen Lie shook his head and said, I cannot tell. They are equally matched. What if they were compared with Big Brother? Yang Dingtian asked. Right now, in Cloud Heaven City, no one is a match for them, including Yang Yan. Ximen Lie then said, If it is me, I am around seven or eight classes below them. Then, Big Brother is very strong too, Yang Dingtian said. Apart from Yang Yan, no one else from Cloud Heaven City is a match for Big Brother. No. Ximen Ju is stronger than me. But he is adept at concealment, and even I am not sure how strong he actually is. Just at this moment, an extremely resplendent glow exploded in the sky, which was followed closely by a shocking noise. One red and one blue. Two giant energies clashed like Mars crashing into Earth, which resulted in a huge impact. It was obvious that Dongfang Bingling and Dugu Fengwu fought to the extremes, and the two of them released their final and most lethal attacks. For a split moment, the entire night sky was illuminated. Then, the shards of rocks on the ground shot out in all directions. Trees were ruptured. Solid stone plates were lifted and shattered into pieces. Immeasurable mystic qi was shot into the ground, leaving behind deep pits. Ximen Lies body was vigorously bursting with formidable mystic qi, which deflected all of the flying rocks that landed near Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian was wielding the Night Owl Giant Sword as he desperately tried to cleave at all the flying rocks. Ning Ruohan, who was at the back, was directly hit by some of the mystic qi and immediately fainted. ... Bang! Bang! In an instant, Yang Dingtian suddenly turned into a blur as two tempting fragrances filled his nostrils. Dugu Fengwu and Dongfang Bingling had descended from the sky and actually landed on both sides of Yang Dingtian. They were both just ten steps away from Yang Dingtian, sandwiching him in the middle. Right now, Dugu Fengwus golden mask had been split apart, revealing her true looks. It was an absolutely gorgeous face, which had the ability to penetrate the hearts of people. She was different from those traditionally beautiful women as this woman was one that was filled with a heroic spirit. Be it the sharp brows that looked like lancets, the tall and straight jade nose, the graceful red lips which had this arc, or the slender face that looked like a jade sculpture, every part of this face was filled eminent beauty! There was this trace of special charm in her heroic spirit! This was a unique masculine beauty in her delicate features! Such beauty reminded Yang Dingtian of someone, Dongfang Bubai in that movie The Smiling, Proud Wanderer C Dongfang Bubai. This Dugu Fengwu had the same heroic spirit and seductive charm as Dongfang Bubai but had an even more beautiful and alluring face. It was obvious the two of them had decided a victor. Dugu Fengwu had a trace of blood on the edge of her mouth. She had been injured. While Dongfang Bingling looked pale, she hadnt bled. It was obvious that in the battle between the elites, Dongfang Bingling had a slight advantage. Dugu Fengwus beautiful eyes revealed her untameable eyes and said coldly, Dongfang Bingling, you are indeed formidable. But, you are just slightly superior to me. It is impossible for you to stop me here. Dongfang Bingling spoke with a cold voice, Stop you? Not necessarily! You might just die here today. Taking the opportunity, Dongfang Binglings beautiful eyes suddenly looked over at Yang Dingtian as she said, Senior Brother Yang, kill this demon woman and you will accomplish an outstanding service for the Heaven Dao Union, which means that Cloud Heaven City would have accomplished an outstanding service for the Heaven Dao Union. Yang Dingtian was immediately shocked. This demon woman was already so incredibly formidable, and Dongfang Bingling actually asked him to go kill her? Dongfang Bingling said, Dont worry, this demon woman has nearly used up all her mystic qi. With Ximen Lies help, it will be effortless to kill her. Dugu Fengwu let out a sneer and said, Dongfang Bingling, arent you the same? Youve beaten me, but how much of your mystic qi is left? Taking this chance, Dugu Fengwu looked over a Yang Dingtian with her captivating eyes and said, So, you are Yang Dingtian. If I didnt remember wrongly, you have a life-and-death vengeance between you and Dongfang Bingling. Now is your greatest opportunity. The three of us will work together and kill her. I guarantee you that no one will know about this. Chapter 106: Return to Cloud Heaven City, Tang Xin’s Death! Chapter 106: Return to Cloud Heaven City, Tang Xins Death!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian was startled. He didnt expect the final outcome and fate of the fight between two generational prodigies would be determined by him. Anyone he wanted dead would be dead. Senior Yang, what are you waiting for? The Evil Dao is punishable by death, and you are a member of the Heaven Dao Union. Dongfang Binglings eyes were fixed on Yang Dingtian as she spoke. Yang Dingtian, what are you waiting for? Dongfang Bingling is your biggest enemy in your entire lifetime. If you are not going to kill her, when are you going to? Dugu Fengwu spoke with a subtly hoarse voice. Ximen Lie didnt try to take sides and just looked at Yang Dingtian. It didnt matter what decision Yang Dingtian made. He would support him nonetheless. Killing Dugu Fengwu? Then, Yang Dingtian would have to be prepared for the pursuit from the Temple of Ten Thousand Blood. The Temple was one of the leading figures for the Evil Dao, so how mysterious and formidable were they? Before Yang Dingtian became sufficiently strong, he didnt wish to provoke such an enemy. Helping Dugu Fengwu to kill Dongfang Bingling? That was something that was of an even lower possibility. Even if he hated Dongfang Bingling down to his bones, she was still his masters only daughter. Most importantly, he wanted to defeat her fair and square in order to reclaim his dignity. He didnt want to kill her like this. Suddenly, Yang Dingtian gradually turned to face Dugu Fengwu. This absolutely beautiful demon woman spoke indifferently, Have you made your choice to be complete enemies with my Temple of Ten Thousand Blood? Dont you hate Dongfang Bingling? Of course I hate her! Yang Dingtian said. But you killed people like you were slaughtering chickens and dogs. You completely disregarded humans lives as though they were rice straws. How can I stand on the same side as someone as evil as you? What mistakes did those people do? If you want to look for Dongfang Bingling, did you have to kill those innocent people? Yet another pedantic fool. Weakness itself is a kind of mistake. Dugu Fengwu sneered and said, If you want to kill me, then do it. Senior Yang, your heart is indeed one of righteousness, Dongfang Bingling said. Yang Dingtian didnt bother about Dongfang Bingling. He faced Dugu Fengwu as he said, I will count to ten. After I finish counting, Ximen Lie and I will immediately kill you. Dongfang Bingling was shocked. Yang Dingtian, what do you mean? Are you going to release this demon woman? One! Two! Three! Ximen Lie who was by the side drew his giant sword. As soon as Yang Dingtian counted to ten, he would make his move immediately. At this moment, Dugu Fengwu revealed a pleased expression. Haha... Dongfang Bingling, your fiance is rather interesting, huh? He wants to release me, but he still found such a reason. But, you are such a failure as a human. Even your fiance is at odds with you. Soon enough, Dugu Fengwus delicate body turned into a shadow and swiftly vanished from Yang Dingtians eyes. Farewell. Dongfang Bingling, I will come to look for you again. The day I temper my Sword Soul will be the day of your death! Yang Dingtian, you dare threaten me. The next time I meet you, I will surely tear you into pieces! What the... Yang Dingtian had a rush of anger. He didnt obey Dongfang Bingling to kill Dugu Fengwu, but he didnt wish for this demon woman to remember this debt. When he heard the demon womans ruthless declaration, he couldnt help but feel this anger in his heart. ... After Dugu Fengwu left, Dongfang Bingling used her beautiful eyes to glare at Yang Dingtian. Do you know what a huge mistake you have committed? You have released that demon woman today... Do you know how many more will die under her blade? Yang Dingtian had this mocking expression as he replied, Today, there were already a lot of deaths. Even your little servant girl nearly died under the demon womans sword qi. Why didnt I see you pity those peoples fate earlier? What do you know? Dongfang Bingling spoke with a chilling voice. I do not want to debate with you. Arguing with a woman like you is like preaching to deaf ears, Yang Dingtian sneered and said, I just want to offer you two statements. The first statement. You can treat others like dirt, but you better give better treatment to the people that are close to you. Like Masters Wife and that silly and flat-chested Ning Ruohan. You are the one who is silly and flat-chested. Ning Ruohan had just awakened. When she heard Yang Dingtians vicious tongue, she was immediately enraged as she said, You rogue, I wont let you speak to the Young Lady like this. Yang Dingtian said, Do you see how silly this girl is? It isnt easy to find one. Ning Ruohan was so angry that she couldnt say anything. Second statement. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, Five years later, I will go to Yin Yang Sect to challenge you. If I lose, I shall die in the Yin Yang Sect. If I win, I will take my dignity that you trampled on. I will take back the Sect Patriarch position of the Yin Yang Sect that Master handed over to me. I am serious, and you better not treat it as childs play. Dongfang Bingling stared at Yang Dingtian with cold eyes and nodded. Alright, I understand. Five years later, you will come to Yin Yang Sect, and we shall have a fight to the death. The winner shall become the Yin Yang Sect Patriarch, and the loser shall die! Yang Dingtian added on. If I win, I will not take your life. I just want your apology. Dongfang Bingling spoke enthusiastically, If I were to lose to the likes of you, what face do I have to continue living? When that time comes, I will cut off your head and warn the world that I, Dongfang Bingling, am not someone who can be profaned. She was still prideful and still treated people like dirt. Yang Dingtian sneered but didnt want to say anything else. Farewell. I will see you again at the Yin Yang Sect in five years! Yang Dingtian then turned and left with Ximen Lie, walking through Willow Silk Manor, which was now in ruins. ... After Yang Dingtian walked out of Willow Silk Manor, he realized that Ning Ruohan, that flat-chested beauty, was following behind. What are you doing? Yang Dingtian asked. I am here to send you off. Am I not allowed to?! Ning Ruohan could even be this fierce when saying such things. Yang Dingtian replied, So you still have some conscience. Seems like I didnt save you in vain. Bah! Dont think too much. Ning Ruohan then said, Young Lady wants me to tell you that because you didnt foolishly work together with Dugu Fengwu, Cloud Heaven City shall not be expelled from the Heaven Dao Union. Then give my thanks to Fairy Dongfang, Yang Dingtian laughed grimly. Now, you rogue can just get lost, Ning Ruohan said. S?a??h the n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian didnt bicker and just waved his hand. After they walked out of the manor, they casually grabbed two warhorses that hadnt died. They placated them a little before mounting them and galloping in Cloud Heaven Citys direction. Yang Dingtian, you repulsive rogue, I am not flat-chested. I also have breasts... ******* Yang Dingtian and Ximen Lie were traveling fast as lightning, and they finally arrived at the foot of Mt. Cloud Heaven the next afternoon. Yang Dingtian originally wanted Ximen Lie to return to Black Blood Castle, but Ximen Lie insisted on escorting Yang Dingtian back into the city. While ascending the mountain on the spacious stone pavement, Yang Dingtian felt something weird. Because on this stone pavement towards Cloud Heaven City, there wasnt a single soul. This wasnt like usual. It was now noon, and there would normally be many people passing through at this time. After walking several more miles, they were nearly at Cloud Heaven City, but there still wasnt a single soul. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but exchange glances with Ximen Lie. They then quickly made haste towards Cloud Heaven City that was at the peak of the mountain, ... Soon enough, the duo arrived at the gates of Cloud Heaven City. But right now, the gates of Cloud Heaven City were actually shut tightly! On normal days, the gates of Cloud Heaven City would only close around eight oclock in the evening. Furthermore, the warriors who were guarding the city on the city walls seemed like they were preparing for the enemy. The rarely used giant crossbow was actually set up at this moment, and it was armed with plenty of giant crystal arrows. The city walls were packed with fully armed infantries of Cloud Heaven City. It was at this instant that Yang Dingtian and Ximen Lies expressions changed. Something happened in Cloud Heaven City! Who goes there? Leave immediately or face execution! A shout echoed from the top of the city wall. Soon enough, several power crossbows were all aimed at Yang Dingtian and Ximen Lie, who were below. Ximen Lie took down his mantle and spoke coldly, It is Young Lord, Yang Dingtian, and I, Black Blood Cavalry Commander, Ximen Lie. Open the gates immediately. Just as Ximen Lie finished his declaration, there was the sound of weapons being drawn on the city walls. They actually treated Yang Dingtian and Ximen Lie as the enemy. Are you not going to open the gates quickly? Ximen Lie yelled coldly. Moments later, the giant city gates slowly opened. A cavalry team emerged while fixing their gazes on Yang Dingtian and Ximen Lie with eyes like a falcons. They were completely on guard and icy-cold. The leader of the team was Ximen Yan. Ximen Yan, what happened in Cloud Heaven City? Why are the defenses so strict? Ximen Lie asked indifferently. Young Lady Tang Xin has been killed. Ximen Yan then continued, The murderer is Ximen Yanyan, and she was put under house arrest by the Elder Committee while waiting for judgment. This matter is of significance, and in order to prevent anyone from saving her, the entire citys defenses are on high alert. His voice wasnt loud, but to Yang Dingtian and Ximen Lie, it was clear like thunder. How was it possible? Yang Dingtian was very clear in regards to Yanyan. She might be willful and headstrong, but she was kind to the bottom of her heart. She might mistakenly injure someone in a moment of desperation, but she would never take the initiative to kill someone. Whats more, after that drastic change five years ago, Yanyans cultivation had greatly declined and was around the same class as Tang Xin. How was it possible for her to kill Tang Xin? Why did Yanyan kill Tang Xin? Is there any evidence? Yang Dingtian asked with urgency. What are you? Why should I report to you? Ximen Yan replied coldly. Yang Dingtian desperately took a few hurried breaths and restrained his emotions and blood from exploding. He calmed himself down and turned to speak to Ximen Lie, Big Brother, go back to Black Blood Castle immediately and lead the Black Blood Cavalry here to surround Cloud Heaven City. After Ximen Yan heard it, he exclaimed, Yang Dingtian, do you want to rebel? Understood! Ximen Lie responded and immediately turned to mount his horse. He then said to Yang Dingtian, Young Lord, before my Black Blood Cavalry arrives, do not make a move. I understand, Yang Dingtian replied. Ximen Yan looked at Ximen Leis back view and yelled out at the top of his voice, Boss, are you crazy? Are you trying to divide Cloud Heaven City? Ximen Lie replied with a cold voice, You are ones who have gone crazy. Afterward, he suddenly whipped the horse and galloped rapidly towards Black Blood Castle. Yang Dingtian, on the other hand, glared at Ximen Yan before he rushed into Cloud Heaven City. ***** The moment he rushed into the city, Yanyans servant girl, Ler was already waiting as she yelled out to Yang Dingtian, Young Master, Young Lady has been locked up by them. Quickly go rescue her. What is the incident about Yanyan committing murder? Yang Dingtian asked. As Yang Dingtian asked, he suddenly lifted Ler onto the horse while urging her to explain. Yesterday, after Young Master left, Tang Xin came to Young Ladys courtyard and started cursing. She cursed with very unpleasant things, which were all targeted at you, saying that she wanted to tear you into pieces. She even cursed at Young Lady, Madam, and the City Lord. Ler then continued, She cursed so much that the Young Lady was in tears. The Young Lady was very mad that time and said something in a moment of anger, saying, Tang Xin, I wish that I could kill you. And then? Yang Dingtian asked. Afterwards, Young Lady was fearful that Tang Xin would come cursing again. Hence, she left the city to avoid her before the sky turned bright. She said that she wanted to meet you midway, saying that she wanted to discuss with you about moving into Black Blood Castle to stay. Ler cried and said, In the end, after a few hours later, Young Lady was brought back by Ximen Ju, along with Tang Xins corpse. Later on, Young Lady was put under house arrest. Yang Dingtian frowned. There was too little information from Lers narration. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian believed firmly that Yanyan wouldnt kill anyone. Otherwise, she wouldnt have tried to avoid Tang Xin, exiting the city before the sky was even bright. Where is Madam and Sister Ningning? Yang Dingtian asked. Madam is at the Elder Committee, confronting Grand Elder Yang Yan. Sister Ningning is waiting for you at the small house, Ler replied. Ying Dingtian pondered for a moment and decided to go to Ningnings place first. There might be some things that would be clearer if Ningning explained it. Once he went to the Elder Committee, it would definitely be in a state of hostility. ... After going back to the small house, Ningning tried to support herself up from her position, but because her lower body wasnt able to move, she nearly fell over. Yang Dingtian hurried over and caught hold of her. Right now, Ningnings eyes were flushed red, and she had this anxious expression, but she used a soft voice to comfort Yang Dingtian. Xiao Tian, do not be in a hurry. Let us plan this carefully. (TL note: Xiao = Little, it is an intimate way of addressing someone who is younger or has a junior role) Sister Ningning, it doesnt matter if Yanyan killed anyone. I do not believe that she would kill someone. Even though that bitch Tang Xin deserved to die, Yang Dingtian said. I do not believe Yanyan would kill someone either, but they said that there are human witnesses and material evidence. We can only know if Yanyan killed anyone after we see her, Ningning explained. Where is Yanyan being held at? Yang Dingtian asked. Enforcement Pavilion, Ningning said, I have already sent out a few dozen birds, asking them to inquire from all the beasts on the Mt. Cloud Heaven. I am hoping that one of the birds or animals witnessed the situation. But those birds came back to report that none of them witnessed anything. Sister Ningning, you continue waiting here for the birds. I will go to the Elder Committee, Yang Dingtian said. Okay. Ningning said, Xiao Tian, you must remain calm. I have already asked Big Brother Ximen Lie to bring his soldiers over. If the time comes to be thoroughly hostile, then we will use martial strength to compel them, Yang Dingtian stated. Unless absolutely necessary, do not start a war, Ningning said, But be prepared for the worst and to use martial strength. I will immediately gather all the demonic beasts within a hundred miles to come assist us in battle. Okay, Yang Dingtian replied before leaving the pavilion and heading for the Elder Committee. **** When he was within the Elder Committee, he didnt see Madam Ximens figure and only saw Yang Yan. If you are here to plead for leniency, then you dont have to say anything, Yang Yan spoke bluntly, The laws are merciless. Ximen Yanyan killed a clansman without any reason. Even if City Lord Ximen was here, he would sentence her to death. Grand Elder Yang Yan spoke cold-heartedly and immediately interrupted Yang Dingtian. Did Ximen Ju personally witness Yanyan committing the murder? Yang Dingtian asked. Yang Yan looked at Yang Dingtian insipidly and spoke with a cold voice, Carry it in. Immediately, two warriors carried a corpse in. Take a look yourself. Yang Yan forcefully lifted the cover on the corpse. It was indeed Tang Xins corpse. It was currently naked from top to bottom, and all the scars could be seen clearly. On the chest area, there was a conspicuous sword wound. This sword wound looked severe, and it was fiery red like a burst of flames. Only Yanyans Phoenix Flame Sword could produce such an effect. Because the Phoenix Flame Sword had the innate energy of a raging inferno, once it penetrated the human body, it would roast the body and leave a bright-colored trace of flames. Tang Xins wound was created by the Phoenix Flame Sword while Ximen Yanyans wound was created by the sharp sword in Tang Xins hand. When Ximen Ju hurried over, Tang Xin had already dropped dead while Ximen Yanyan was wielding the Phoenix Flame Sword, which was dripping with blood. Was there any difference if Ximen Ju witnessed it personally? Yang Yan then spoke again, Furthermore, Ximen Yanyan had past grievances against Tang Xin. Ximen Yanyan even threatened to kill Tang Xin yesterday. There is a motive, human testimony, and material evidence. Are you able to turn this case around? It seemed like the pieces of evidence were conclusive, but Yang Dingtian was determined that Yanyan would never kill anyone. Taking a deep breath in, Yang Dingtian asked, What are you going to do? How are you going to punish Yanyan? Yang Yan spoke in a cold tone, According to the second clause of the Cloud Heaven Citys Laws, those who kill a clansman shall be executed! This was personally enacted by City Lord Ximen. Ximen Yanyan murdered an innocent clansman, and the evidence is conclusive. She shall be hanged in three days. After finishing, Yang Yan stared at Yang Dingtian with indifferent eyes, seemingly waiting for Yang Dingtian to plea for leniency. At this moment, Yang Dingtian was supposed to negotiate with him, but he didnt want to negotiate now because Ximen Lies army had yet to arrive. I want to see Yanyan, Yang Dingtian stated. Despite all the evidence, he still didnt believe Yanyan would kill Tang Xin. When Yang Yan saw that Yang Dingtian didnt want to talk about any conditions, his expression instantly turned cold as he said, She under house arrest in the Enforcement Pavilion. Ximen Ju is in charge of all internal affairs of Cloud Heaven City. Whether are you able to see her is up to him. ***** When Yang Dingtian went to the Enforcement Pavilion, he saw a team of warriors standing guard as expected. All of them were fully armed and had icy-cold expressions, not allowing anyone to enter. Moreover, Yang Dingtian wasnt familiar with any members of the guards. Yang Dingtian found Ximen Ju in the backyard of the Enforcement Pavilion. He was the Overseer of Cloud Heaven City, the once-loyal admirer of Yanyan and Ximen Wuyas most outstanding adopted son. Right now, he had this indifferent expression that didnt look mournful at all. Tang Xin was his fiancee, and now that she was dead, he remained emotionless and didnt have any traces of being stirred up. Yang Dingtian had never spoken face to face with Ximen Ju because he felt this person was too gloomy, like a bottomless dark well. I want to see Yanyan, Yang Dingtian requested. Ximen Ju slowly looked at Yang Dingtian and nodded. Okay. Afterward, Ximen Ju immediately left the backyard and came to the main door of the Enforcement Pavilion. He took out the keys to open the main door and walked down. Yanyan was actually locked up in a solitary underground prison in the Enforcement Pavilion. After opening the giant lock on the thick metal gates of the prison, Ximen Ju said, She is in there. Go in yourself and see her. Yang Dingtian pushed open the metal gates and was about to enter. Yang Dingtian, do you want to hear a statement from me? Ximen Ju suddenly asked. Speak, Yang Dingtian responded. Ximen Ju used deep eyes to look at him and said, You are overly eager to prove yourself. Afterward, Ximen Ju turned and left. ... Yang Dingtian gently opened the metal gates. Who is it? Yanyans voice was filled with hostility and caution as it echoed from within. It is me, Yang Dingtian spoke in a gentle voice. Chapter 107: Soldiers Awaiting at the City Walls! Yang Dingtian Severing All Ties… Chapter 107: Soldiers Awaiting at the City Walls! Yang Dingtian Severing All Ties...Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Brother... Yanyans pleasantly surprised voice immediately echoed from within. Soon after, there was a spate of fragrance as Yanyans well-developed and soft body came rushing out as she threw herself into Yang Dingtians embrace. ... Darling, what exactly happened? Yang Dingtian said, Tell me every detail bit by bit. Right now, Yang Dingtian was seated on the ground while Yanyan was seated horizontally on his legs with her face was buried in his chest. After hearing Yang Dingtians question, her voice went soft as she said, Yesterday, after you left, Tang Xin came cursing. She said such unbearable things, and I couldnt beat her with words. But seeing that her brother, Tang Li, was dead, I didnt want to be calculative with her. Then afterward, she began to slander you, saying that it wasnt your talent that helped you to breakthrough over ten classes in five days but because you used some evil Yin Yang Great Ritual. Saying that you took the yin and nourished your yang. Saying you slept with women in order to break through. Silly girl, if she was just talking, then just let her talk. Yang Dingtian then asked, Afterwards? But, she said you didnt just take my mystic qi. You even too Sister Ningnings mystic qi and... and mothers... Yanyan was trembling while her voice was filled with resentment. Yang Dingtian was instantly enraged. That bitch, she deserved to die! It was fine if she slandered Yang Dingtian, but she actually slandered Madam Ximen. She was Yang Dingtians senior and Ximen Wuyas wife, who was like his masters wife, who Yang Dingtian treated like a mother figure in this world even though they were both very young. Moreover, Tang Xins rumor was too vicious. Madam Ximen had preserved her chastity for no one else other than Ximen Wuya. Tarnishing her reputation in this way was no different from killing her. In terms of morality, it would destroy Yang Dingtians reputation, forcing him to wear a label of incest. If this accusation was proven, Yang Dingtian would be completely ostracized by everyone and never would be able to rise up again, let alone become the city lord of Cloud Heaven City. When mother heard of this rumor, she immediately vomited blood and fainted. Yanyan spoke furiously, I was so angry at that moment and wished I could kill Tang Xin with a single blade. That bitch should have died a thousand times, ten thousand times, Yang Dingtian spoke coldly. Fortunately, she is dead. Otherwise, I will certainly dismember her into thousands of pieces. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian desperately tried to suppress his anger as he spoke with a gentle voice, Darling, what happened afterward? Afterwards, many people gave us peculiar looks, so I didnt even want to stay in this place any longer. I, Sister Ningning, and mother have already discussed that once you are back, we will move out and stay at Big Brothers Black Blood Castle. We will wait until next year after you defeat those bastard dogs in Cloud Heaven City. We will drive them all out before we move back in. I cannot even bear to stay a single day with all those disgusting and filthy people. Yanyan trembled as she spoke. I was curious in the past as to why father had to be so ruthless to them. Now, I finally understand that father was actually too soft at that time. He should have banished them all. Yang Dingtian reassured her. Dont worry. Wait till I am the Cloud Heaven City Lord. I will cleanse Cloud Heaven City of all these filthy people. Afterward? What happened later? Afterwards, I got up from the bed and left Cloud Heaven City early this morning before the sun was even out. I wanted to go fetch you midway. Firstly, I was afraid that Tang Xin would come cursing again. Secondly... I missed you. You had just left for one day, and I couldnt help but miss you... Yanyan said with a shy expression, Furthermore, I wanted to tell you about my thoughts of moving to Black Blood Castle immediately. Silly girl... Yang Dingtians heart instantly melted. He then said softly, Alright, after this matter is over, we will move over to Black Blood Castle immediately and return next year. Afterward? Yanyan replied, Afterwards, when I just walked out a few miles, the sky wasnt even bright yet. All of a sudden, Tang Xin came rushing over. She looked like a mad person and desperately brandished her sword to kill me. Then, I began to fight her, but because my cultivation had been declining all these years, I was even losing to her. But she was very strange like she was berserk and was much more formidable than before. I was almost injured by her. Hence, I had to resist with all my strength. But suddenly, she became like a zombie. The sword in her hand fell to the ground, and she pounced towards my sword with her whole body. I tried my best to pull back, but it all happened so quickly, so I was too late. The sword pierced into her body, and she fell dead, giving me a complete shock. I really didnt want to kill her. Soon after, Ximen Ju and Tang Bozhao appeared. In this instant, Yang Dingtian could feel a strong smell of conspiracy. Darling, when Tang Xin rushed out and tried to kill you, what kind of expression did she have? Was it especially resentful? Yang Dingtian asked. Yanyan tried to recall and shook her head while replying, She wasnt. She looked like she was crazy and scared as well. It was that kind of inconsolable and appalling kind of scared. Did your sword thrust in deep? Yang Dingtian asked. I dont know, but when the sword thrust in, I immediately pulled it back out. I really didnt want to kill her, Yanyan replied. This truly was just like the saying The tree wants to remain still, but the wind doesnt allow it to! (TL note: Similar to the saying, in this case, it means that Yang Dingtian didnt want to go provoke anyone, but his enemies wouldnt let him have any peace) Yang Dingtians sudden rise completely smashed their plan for letting Qing Shaobai become the City Lord of Cloud Heaven City. Now that they finally made their move, it was an unexpectedly despicable method. Whats more, they even threw in Tang Xins life. Tang Xin might not have much value, but she was still Ximen Jus fiancee and Tang Bozhaos daughter. It was illogical to let her die just to set up a conspiracy. Something must have happened in the midst of it. But, what exactly did the opposition want? Yang Qingtian believed that he would get the answer soon because Yang Yan was waiting for Yang Dingtian to negotiate terms with him. Big baby..., Yanyan suddenly called out. S?a?ch* Th? N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian was stunned for a moment. Why did this lass suddenly change the way she addressed him? I will say something, but you cannot be angry, Yanyan spoke prudently. Say it. If it is very silly, then I will still be angry, Yang Dingtian laughed and replied. If they want to use me to get you to do something that will put you in danger, you cannot promise them. Yanyan said, Dont worry, they will not dare to kill me. That bastard Qing Huaiyu still has rapacious designs on me, and he is all of these peoples master. Hence, they will not dare to touch me and will at most lock me up. If that is the case, you have to leave Cloud Heaven City immediately and come back to pick me up in one year... Ah... Before Yanyan could even finish speak, she let out a soft cry because her butt had been spanked. Lock you up for one year? Impossible, I cannot let that happen. Yang Dingtian spoke gently, Yanyan, trust me okay? Let me make the decision. Okay... Yanyan spoke with a soft voice and buried her head in Yang Dingtians chest, quietly listening to his heartbeat. Yang Dingtian. How did you feel after seeing your ex-wife? Yanyan asked suddenly with a strange voice. Yang Dingtian felt a cold shiver as he said, I beg you to never use the term ex-wife, okay? Every time I hear that, my body shivers. After this meeting, I realized that she isnt a human. She is like a machine that is clad in beautiful human skin. Every minute I stay with her is torture. Unlike you, every minute and second with you is just like paradise. Before Yang Dingtian finished speaking, Yanyan held onto his neck and gave a sweet little kiss. Yang Dingtian held onto her soft and well-developed body, enveloping her small lips and giving her a french kiss. Yang Dingtian, in the other world, you must surely be a bad boy who used sweet talk to tease girls. But after coming to this world and experiencing so many things, you must have been pressured so much. Yanyan laughed delicately. Yes, so I need your sweet little mouth, your ample breasts, and round butt to help me recover. Yang Dingtian laughed. ... Alright now. Yanyan, I am going to meet that group of vicious wolves and see what they want, Yang Dingtian said. Yeah..., Yanyan spoke in a soft voice. If it was in the past, she would definitely order Yang Dingtian to do things this way or that way. But now, she merely voiced her soft approval. Darling, I will certainly save you from the grasp of these vicious wolves. No matter the price... Yang Dingtian kissed Yanyans forehead and placed her on the bed before walking out of the stone room. Just as he walked out of the metal doors, Yanyan suddenly exclaimed from behind. Yang Dingtian, I love you! ***** Yang Yan, say it. What do you guys want? Yang Dingtian immediately went to the main topic. Hearing Yang Dingtian addressing him by his name, Yang Yans eyes instantly went cold as he replied, Yang Dingtian, mind your mouth. Dont think I am afraid of killing you. It is effortless for you to kill me, and you truly want to kill me too. But you need a proper reason to do so. Yang Dingtian continued, Say it then. What do you want? I might be weak, but if you want to negotiate, I reckon that I am the most suitable person. Impartial enforcement, sentenced for execution. Yang Yan spoke with a cold voice, The Cloud Heaven Citys Laws are paramount. Hearing this statement, Yang Dingtian truly wanted to laugh out loudly. The opposition was mentioning laws here and there, but who didnt know that laws were meant for those weaklings? Take Qing Shaobai for example. Didnt he kill enough innocent lives in the Northwest Qin Clan? Why didnt he suffer any punishment? Wasnt it because Ximen Wuya wasnt around? If he was still around, no matter how esteemed Tang Xins status was, if Yanyan had really killed her, would Yang Yan dare to say words like execution? Stop joking, Grand Elder Yang Yan. Do you look like someone who abides by the laws? Yang Dingtian spoke enthusiastically. Impudent! Yang Yan was infuriated as he gave his warning. Yang Dingtian, if you are rude again, then dont blame me for being ruthless. My endurance has a limit. Yang Dingtian looked at him with cold eyes and didnt speak a word to plead for leniency. He just waited for Yang Yan to speak. Seeing that Yang Dingtian wasnt going along with his pace, Yang Yan had this cold expression while his eyes turned dark. A few minutes later, he turned and spoke while facing away from Yang Dingtian. Yanyan might be at odds with me, but she is still my junior. She might have killed Tang Xin, but the dead have already passed, and City Lord Ximen had given a new lease of life to my Cloud Heaven City. Seeing that Ximen Yanyan is his only descendant, how can I bear to execute her? After all, she once called me grandfather. Yang Dingtian was sneering in his heart, but he didnt rudely interrupt Yang Yan again. Otherwise, he might be angered because of shame. Ximen Yanyan can live, but she has to repay her crimes with meritorious service, Yang Yan said and turned to face Yang Dingtian. How can she do that? Yang Dingtian asked. She will leave you and remarry the Young Lord of the Qin Clan in order to guarantee peace for Cloud Heaven City for the next few dozen years, Yang Yan said. The news of City Lord Ximen being extinguished has been made known to the world. The various influential forces in Cloud Heaven City are becoming restless and are planning to revolt. The Northwest Qin Clan is incredibly powerful. If Cloud Heaven City and the Qin Clan can be joined in matrimony, then those influential forces will definitely be suppressed. No way! Yang Dingtian spoke bluntly, Demand something else! There is no room for negotiation. I am giving an order and not being greedy. Yang Yan spoke in an indifferent tone, In short, if Ximen Yanyan wants to live, she shall remarry Qin Huaiyu. Otherwise, she will be hanged. With me in Cloud Heaven City, no one shall even think of overturning this verdict. Yang Dingtian spoke in a cold voice, Is that so? Of course! Yang Yan replied indifferently. Farewell! Yang Dingtian immediately turned and left. Seeing Yang Dingtian leave so decisively, Yang Yan was astonished. ***** After Yang Dingtian left, he brought along Ximen Ningning, Ler, and Madam Ximen who vomited blood again. They left Cloud Heaven City immediately. Two hours later! Yang Dingtian and Ximen Lie led 2500 Black Blood Cavalry and stood outside the city. All of a sudden, the entire Cloud Heaven City was in a complete uproar! The Black Blood Cavalry was Cloud Heaven Citys largest military force. They only listened to orders from two individuals. One of them was the Cloud Heaven City Lord, and the other was the Black Blood Cavalry Commander! No one would have expected Yang Dingtian and Ximen Lie to sever all ties and directly use the most violent military force. Ximen Lie was mounted on the horse as he yelled out to the top of the city wall, Release Ximen Yanyan immediately. Otherwise, we will level Cloud Heaven City! At this exact moment, a bird landed on Ningnings shoulder. It was one of the birds that Ningning sent out to Mt. Cloud Heaven to investigate Tang Xins death. That bird came beside Ningnings ear and chirped continuously in the bird language so that only Ningning could understand. All of a sudden, Ningnings expression changed, revealing a disbelieving expression. Chapter 108: Truth! Qing Shaobai Must Die! Chapter 108: Truth! Qing Shaobai Must Die!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Ximen Lie, are you trying to revolt? The first one to speak was Elder Tang Bozhao. Revolt? Ximen Lie laughed out and said, I dont think I am the one who wants to revolt, right? It is someone else. Tang Bozhao was infuriated, and just as he was about to excoriate, Yang Yan raised his hand to stop him before he said coldly, Ximen Lie, take your men and leave now. The Elder Committee will let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, you will have to carry the crime of revolting, which will leave your corpse without a place to bury. Am I, Ximen Lie, someone who fears death? Ximen Lie laughed loudly. It doesnt matter if I have to die. I shall take everyone down with me. Ximen Ju spoke indifferently, Are you going to look on as fathers accomplishments over these dozens of years are destroyed? If the Cloud Heaven City is such a filthy place, will it not be better to destroy it and rebuild it? Ximen Lie said, Stop all the nonsense. In 15 minutes, if you dont hand Yanyan over, I shall kill my way into the city. Haha... Yang Yan laughed grimly and said, I, Yang Yan, has never been threatened by anyone. The moment you invade the city shall be the moment I execute Ximen Yanyan. It doesnt matter if you win or lose. You will only be able to get her corpse. So, if you want to negotiate, withdraw your troops first. Otherwise, Ximen Yanyan will die for sure. No matter. When that happens, I will kill all of you and take revenge for Yanyan. Ximen Lie spoke with a cold voice and had this tone that was incomparably resolute and unyielding. Are you able to kill us all? Yang Yan stately coldly, I am afraid the ones that will be wiped out completely will be you. I am willing to try it, Ximen Lie replied. Soon enough, Ximen Lie turned and faced the Black Blood Cavalry and roared out, Brothers, are you afraid of death?! Kill! 3000 cavalry roared out in unison like thunder that was deafening. A cloud of dust began to rise from the violent tremors. There is no need for any more superfluous words. Ximen Lie declared, I am not here to negotiate. I am here for Yanyan. Light the incense... After Ximen Lie gave his orders, one of the cavalries took out a red incense and lit it up. Once the incense finished burning, it would be 15 minutes. In 15 minutes, if you do not hand Yanyan over, we will immediately declare war! Finishing his statement, Ximen Lie slowly closed his eyes, showing that he didnt wish to talk anymore. Yang Yans cheek convulsed vigorously as he yelled out sternly, If a prince violates the law, he too shall face the same consequences. I am enforcing the law impartially. You all actually raise your weapons against clansman, bending the law for a relative. How deranged are you? I, Yang Yan, will stand here and not take a single step back. If you want a war, I shall give you war! In an instant, an intense fight threatened to break out between both sides at any moment. ***** At this moment, Ximen Ningning waved towards Yang Dingtian and gestured for him to come over. Xiao Tian, come over. I have something important to tell you. Yang Dingtian steered his horse over to Ningnings side. Come closer. Bring your ear over, Ningning whispered. Her beautiful face still had this unbelievable shock and even a trace of a blush. Yang Dingtian was slightly surprised. Did Sister Ningning have to be so secretive? Why did he have to go so close? Yang Dingtian leaned over as Ningning placed her mouth beside his ear and whispered, Tang Xin wasnt actually killed by Yanyan. It should be considered as being killed by Qin Shaobai. Yang Dingtians eyes suddenly shrank as he asked in a soft voice, Why? Tang Xin is Ximen Jus fiancee and Tang Bozhaos daughter. Even if they wanted to frame Yanyan or deal with me, killing Tang Xin was still too huge a price to pay. Thats right. Qin Shaobai killing Tang Xin was because he had no other choice, Ningning whispered. Because Tang Xin saw something she shouldnt have seen. Hence, she had to die. What did she see? Yang Dingtian asked. Ningnings face blushed as her voice shook as she said, Yesterday, early in the morning, Qin Shaobai was in a remote valley, committing incest and adultery with his mother, Yang Shishi, and was unintentionally noticed by Tang Xin... Yang Dingtians body shook, and he looked at Ningning in disbelief. He knew that Qin Shaobai was depraved and evil, but he didnt expect it to be to such a degree. This was even worse than being an animal. He was absolutely worse than a beast. When Ningning saw Yang Dingtian look at her with an expression of disbelief, she immediately blushed and got angry. Why are you looking at me for? This, this is too insane. Yang Dingtian asked, Is this what that bird told you earlier? Yeah... Ningning nodded and said, It was noticed by a pair of mating squirrels, which told the bird. Afterwards? Yang Dingtian asked. Ningning then narrated the whole incident in detail. When Qin Shaobai and Yang Shishi were doing such indecent acts, they were unintentionally noticed by Tang Xin. Hence, Qin Shaobai made a prompt decision and immediately raped Tang Xin, forcing her to consume a type of poison. Afterwards, they threatened Tang Xin to never spread word of this indecent act between him and Yang Shishi. Tang Xin was afraid of death. Hence, she promised! But Qin Shaobai then used the poison to force her to go spread a rumor in Cloud Heaven City, that Yang Dingtian became powerful because he used the Yin Yang Great Ritual to mate with Madam Ximen and consumed her mystic qi in order to achieve such a stunning breakthrough. Thus, it caused the incident where Tang Xin cursed at Yanyan, causing her to rant about wanting to kill Tang Xin. This created a motive for Yanyan to murder her. Soon enough, the rumors of Yang Dingtian and Madam Ximen committing incest had traveled throughout the Cloud Heaven City. This morning, Yanyan was afraid that Tang Xin might come to curse at her again. Thus, she left Cloud Heaven City very early. But when Qin Shaobai found out, he immediately brought along Tang Xin and waited in ambush. Once Yanyan appeared, he forced Yang Xin to go out to kill Yanyan. At this point, Tang Xins poison took effect and caused her to become crazy but also to experience a drastic increase in cultivation. Hence, Yanyan wasnt a match for her, and she had no choice but to fight back desperately. Qin Shaobai was controlling Tang Xin from far away and picked the best timing for Tang Xin to die from poison, causing her to fall towards Yanyans sword, which was stabbed into Tang Xins chest. Just like this, Qin Shaobai flawlessly framed Yanyan for killing Tang Xin! Because he was afraid his scandal with Yang Shihi might be exposed, he didnt have any intention of letting Tang Xin live. But to concoct such a vicious plot in such a short amount of time, it was unimaginable how malicious this person was! Qin Shaobais vicious plot lined up perfectly, killing three birds with one stone. By killing Tang Xin, not only did he keep his scandal a secret, but he even successfully framed Yanyan and dealt a huge blow to Yang Dingtians reputation. It was a known fact that Yang Dingtians prestige was like the sun in the sky while Qin Shaobais status was heavily threatened by it. Yang Dingtians feat of breaking through over ten classes in five days was outrageous by itself. As such, after Qin Shaobai spread such a rumor, it was easy for people to believe it. Furthermore, this rumor had another use. In case the scandal of him and Yang Shishi was exposed, he could say that it was Yang Dingtian who was the mastermind trying to cover up his own scandal by accusing Qin Shaobai. If it wasnt for the fact that Ningning was a prodigy in the beast language and those squirrels coincidentally observing them, then this truth might have been buried forever. After understanding the truth, Yang Dingtian took in a deep cold breath. He already knew that Qin Shaobai was an individual like a viper. He had experienced some of it back in the elimination battle, but he didnt have a deep understanding back then. Today, he finally knew what was called a viper, something with such schemes and viciousness. Wasnt Qin Shaobai just like a viper? When regular people were exposed committing adultery, they would normally panic and become muddle-headed. They would either kill to silence the witness or kneel to beg. Only Qin Shaobai would be able to think of such a flawless and vicious plot within such a short amount of time, a plot that could kill three birds with one stone. Not only did he clear himself, he even struck a fatal blow at Yang Dingtian. ... Right now, Qin Shaobai was standing behind Yang Yan and had yet to say anything. His face still had this harmless animal-like smile. When he noticed Yang Dingtian looking towards him, he even smiled and nodded. This viper Qin Shaobai must not be left alone. He had to die. If he didnt die, the entire Cloud Heaven City would never be able to have any peace. Yang Dingtian was about to venture out to cultivate soon, and if he allowed this viper Qin Shaobai to stay in Cloud Heaven City, Ningning, Yanyan, and Madam Ximen would be in danger. This viper was so licentious and so lecherous that he would make people shiver. But in this conspiracy, what roles did Yang Yang, Tang Bozhao, and Ximen Ju have? Ximen Ju was the first person to arrive at the scene of Yanyans murder. ... Yang Dingtian could definitely expose the truth right now in front of everyone, exposing the scandal between Qin Shaobai and Yang Shishi. But Qin Shaobai had already completely blocked that option. If Yang Dingtian was to say that Yang Shishi and Qin Shaobai were committing incest and adultery, others would only say he was trying to cover up his own scandal with Madam Ximen. It would seem like Yang Dingtian was just trying to take revenge. Hence, the truth didnt matter now. The most important matter was to kill Qin Shaobai. No matter what the cost, he had to kill Qin Shaobai! He had to find a way to eliminate Qin Shaobai! ****** Time passed bit by bit, and everyone was staring at that stick of burning incense. Ximen Lie declared that if they didnt release Ximen Yanyan before the incense finished burning, it would be war. Ximen Lies eyes were now shut, and his huge sword was leaning against him as he waited for the final moment to come. Howl... A gust of wind blew past, and that stick of incense was now completely burned and extinguished. Yang Yan insisted on not handing Yanyan over. Everyones eyes were on Ximen Lie. Ximen Lie, whose eyes had been shut all this time, gradually opened them. He nodded and said, Alright, lets start the killing! Ximen Lie pulled down the mask on his helmet and slowly drew the huge sword on his back. He lifted it and pointed it at the city gates and yelled out, Draw your swords! Clang! Three thousand Black Blood Cavalry vigorously drew their long swords and pointed them towards the city. This instantaneously materialized forest of swords flickered under the sun, giving off a blinding radiance. Kill! Ximen Lie gave a determined shout as he took the lead and gradually increased his speed as he rushed towards the city gates. Yang Yans expression changed drastically as he yelled out, City guard warriors, get ready. Cloud Heaven Citys disciples, get ready. Prepare for war and dispose of our clans bad blood. As soon as Yang Yan shouted out. Clang... Thousands of warriors in the city drew their weapons and prepared for war. Where is the Blazing Cavalry? Qin Shaobai spoke indifferently. Over ten miles away, a fiery-red cavalry suddenly emerged from the jungle and pressed towards the back of the Black Blood Cavalry, executing a two-pronged attack. There were a thousand cavalry warriors who were all fully armed and clad in bright red armor, just like blazing flames. The Blazing Army was newly put together by the Elder Committee as they were afraid there might be a rebellion after something happened to Ximen Wuya. They were precisely created for opposing the Black Blood Cavalry. But establishing an elite cavalry army was very difficult and would take years to assemble an elite cavalry of a thousand warriors. But now, in just slightly over a month, how was it possible for it to be ready? This was obviously a military force that the Northwest Qin Clan secretly provided for Qin Shaobai to seize authority. Yang Yan spoke to Ximen Lie, You want a war? So be it. Lets see who will be the one to be eliminated first! Right now, looking at the military strength of both sides, Yang Yans side had the obvious advantage, but once the war began, it was needless to say that both sides would suffer huge losses. At this moment, Qin Shaobai suddenly spoke, Please wait. Senior Yang Dingtian, can you come out to speak for a moment. Speak, Yang Dingtian yelled out. Can you bear to see Cloud Heaven City destroyed in a single day? Qin Shaobai sneered as he said, It doesnt matter whether is it you or me who takes the Cloud Heaven City Lord position. This city belongs to either you or me. Arent you in agony to see it destroyed? Continue, Yang Dingtian urged Qin Shaobai to continue. He wanted to see what kind of venom this viper wanted to spit out. Senior Yang, why is your reaction so intense to actually use the last resort of violence? Normal people will think whether you are doing this for Ximen Yanyan or to cover up your scandal with Madam Ximen? Many of them will be thinking if those rumors could be true? Did you actually use the Yin Yang Evil Ritual to take the yin to nourish your yang in order to breakthrough over ten classes? Qin Shaobai smiled as he spoke, but what he spat out was am incomparably toxic venom. What did it mean to be unable to retaliate against false accusations? This was it! Qin Shaobai, you and your malicious slander! Madam Ximens eyes blacked out for a moment as she fell from the horse due to the sudden rush of blood and qi. Yang Dingtian didnt try to deny it and went up to help Madam Ximens delicate body up before he looked at Qin Shaobai and said, Get to the point! I have a way that can let Cloud Heaven City avoid a mutual slaughter and can prove Senior Yangs innocence. You can even rescue Ximen Yanyan. I wonder if Senior Yang would like to hear it? Qin Shaobai laughed. Speak. Qin Shaobai spoke clearly in front of all the people in Cloud Heaven City, On the 23rd of every month, in order to commemorate the Heaven Dao Unions first triumph over the Evil Dao and thus saving the world, it has been declared as the Day of Trials. Trials are separated into Civil Trials and Martial Trials. Civil Trials use human testimony and material evidence to determine Ximen Yanyans crimes. On the other hand, the Martial Trial will be a trial by combat. Qin Shaobai looked at Yang Dingtian and continued, So... Senior Yang, how about using a trial by combat to settle this conflict? You shall represent Ximen Yanyan. I shall represent Tang Xins family, and we will conduct a duel at the end of the month. The winner shall live, and the loser shall die! Senior Yang, if you can win, I will die and Ximen Yanyan shall be found not guilty. If you lose, you shall die and Ximen Yanyan shall be found guilty! How about it? After this statement was made, everyone let out gasps of surprise. Qin Shaobai laughed. Isnt this a method to get the best of both sides? We can avoid an internal conflict in Cloud Heaven City, and you can prove your innocence. I am just more than ten classes superior to you. You are able to breakthrough nineteen classes in just five days, and there are still nine days before the Day of Trials. If you rely on your exceptional innate talents to break through, then it shouldnt be a problem to break through ten classes in nine days, right? As long as you can defeat me and kill me, not only will you rescue Ximen Yanyan, but you can also prove your generational talent. How about it? S~?a??h the N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. After Qin Shaobai finished his statement, Ximen Li, Ximen Ningning and Madam Ximen all commented at the same time, Shameless without limits! Qin Shaobais proposal might seem reasonable, but it actually a distortion of facts. Yang Dingtian relied on the Yin Yang Festival that only came once every three centuries in order to break through nineteen classes in five days. Right now, for him to break through ten classes within nine days was like a pipe dream. At this moment, Qin Shaobai finally revealed the vipers tail. The reason for setting this scheme wasnt to target Ximen Yanyan but to target Yang Dingtian. There was only one objective, which was to kill Yang Dingtian! On this point, he had the same thoughts as Yang Dingtian. Regardless of the cost, Yang Dingtian wanted to kill Qin Shaobai too. Similarly, Qin Shaobai wanted to kill Yang Dingtian regardless of the cost as well. Because he was Qin Shaobais greatest obstacle for seizing authority in Cloud Heaven City. His sudden rise gave Qin Shaobai immense pressure. Ximen Lie instantly turned to look at Yang Dingtian and said, Young Lord Yang. Do not promise him. We will start the war now and take back Young Lady Yanyan. Ningning said, Xiao Tian, your sister wont allow you to accept this challenge. Madam Ximen spoke softly, Be a good child. The innocent will prove their innocence naturally while the impure will always be impure. I will not mind these despicable rumors anymore. You dont have to bother about them either. Yang Dingtian looked at Qin Shaobai, who was still smiling, but that mouth was filled with venomous fangs. Alright, I promise you! In nine days, we will have the trial by combat! You and I will fight. The winner will live, and the loser shall die! Yang Dingtian laughed as he spoke. In this instant, everyone on the city gates was shocked. Yang Dingtians words were like a storm scraping across. Everyone couldnt believe it and looked at Yang Dingtian. Had he gone mad? Qin Shaobai might look like a nine star Mystic Martial Warrior and be superior to Yang Dingtian by one rank and ten classes. However, everyone knew that he must have broken through to the Mystic Martial Master level and didnt know just how many stars he was within that realm. Mystic Martial Artist, Mystic Martial Warrior, Mystic Martial Master. Qin Shaobai was at least two ranks higher than Yang Qingtian, more than ten classes! Exceeding two ranks in a fight was impossible even if the world turned upside down, even if the universe ended. Ningning stayed in a stunned state for a moment before she screamed, Xiao Tian, have you gone mad? ***** Inside Black Blood Castle! Yang Dingtian, this isnt bravery. This is madness. Ximen Lie, who rarely criticized Yang Dingtian, said, Exceeding two ranks in a fight is asking for complete destruction! Yang Dingtian asked, Big Brother, what is Qin Shaobais strength at now? He should be a one star Mystic Martial Master. Two ranks, twelve classes above you, Ximen Lie replied. Just as Ximen Lie said, exceeding two ranks in battle was definitely hopeless, and Yang Dingtian wasnt that arrogant. But, exceeding one rank was something that Yang Dingtian was willing to try. Because he had the Nine Yang Mystic Meridian, the worlds no.1 sword art, the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes, and the Owl Strange Blade. If it was exceeding one rank, he was willing to take the risk. Assuming that Qin Shaobai was a one star Mystic Martial Master, if Yang Dingtian was able to break through to become a three star Mystic Martial Warrior, he was willing to take the risk and fight! Even though it was a gap of eight classes and a fight that required him to exceed one rank. If it was like this, it meant that Yang Dingtian had to break through four classes in just nine days. According to his current cultivation pace, Yang Dingtian would need around twenty days to break through half a class. Breaking through four classes in nine days was something extremely shocking. Because the Yin Yang Festival that only came once every three centuries had passed. Master, I want to break through four classes in nine days. Is it possible? I remembered that you mentioned..., Yang Dingtian asked in his heart. Dongfang Niemie stayed silent for a moment before he spoke, It is possible! The Ten Thousand Blood Pool in the Temple of Ten Thousand Blood. For the past millennium, experts of the Temple of Ten Thousand Blood would scatter their formidable mystic qi into the pool before their deaths. With your talents, your first cultivation in the Ten Thousand Blood Pool might be able to help you break through four classes! Temple of Ten Thousand Blood? Ten Thousand Blood Pool? In this instant, Yang Dingtian recalled that woman who disregarded human lives, the devastatingly beautiful and exceptionally captivating Dugu Fengwu. That no.1 devil woman who fought Dongfang Bingling to a draw! Chapter 109: Yin Yang Devour Mystic Ritual Chapter 109: Yin Yang Devour Mystic RitualTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales The Temple of Ten Thousand Blood was one of the most ancient influential forces of the mysterious Evil Dao. It was once the core strength of the World Extinguishing Army and also the right and left arms of the worlds no.1 evil force, Shrine of Ten Thousand Extermination. (TL note: To make the names flow better, Temple of Ten Thousand Blood = Temple of Blood, Shrine of Ten Thousand Extermination = Shrine of Extermination) What was the Evil Dao? Take a look at Dugu Fengwu and you should have a good idea. But then again, could the demon woman, Dugu Fengwu, be so strong because of the Ten Thousand Blood Pool? (TL note: Ten Thousand Blood Pool = Blood Pool) Shortly after, Dongfang Niemie sighed and said, Actually, the Blood Pool is a method that I shouldnt even have mentioned. Why? Yang Dingtian asked. Dongfang Niemie replied, Firstly, the Temple of Blood is an ancient faction of the Evil Dao. They are sealed up and dont allow any outsiders to enter. They will kill any intruders without mercy. Furthermore, you are a member of the Heaven Dao Union. Secondly, the Blood Pool the factions defining treasure, and its energy is limited. 99% of the Temples disciples dont even get the chance to cultivate in the Blood Pool, let alone an outsider who is from the Heaven Dao Union. Thirdly, the Temple of Blood is more than 6000 miles away from here. There is the Land of Chaos, which is a neutral state that extends more than a few thousand miles across between the Heaven Dao Union and the Temple of Blood. There are crooks mixed in with the honest folks there, and there is no order in that place. With your current cultivation, the Land of Chaos is just too dangerous. Fourthly, the worlds righteous factions and the Evil Dao has always been incompatible. Once you are involved with the Evil Dao, you will never be able to get rid of the association. Once the Heaven Dao Union realizes that you have some association with the Temple of Blood, then even if you jump into the Yellow River, you will be unable to cleanse yourself. The world will no longer have a place for you to stand on. After finishing his explanation, Dongfang Niemie said indifferently, Hence, we have to think of other ways. We shall not think about this method anymore. Shortly after, Dongfang Niemie paused and said, In fact, if there is no other choice, Master will rather that you use the Yin Yang Devour Mystic Great Art to break through. This method is much better than going to the Temple of Blood. After listening to the explanation, Yang Dingtian fell into silence. Every point that master explained was important, especially the fourth point. The consequences of using that method were way too severe. If there were other methods, then the Temple of Blood was a place that mustnt visit. Just the thought of Dugu Fengwu was terrifying enough. She was an incomparably ruthless devil woman who killed hundreds of people like she was slaughtering livestock. If he truly went to the Temple of Blood, ten lives might not even be sufficient for him to get out alive. ... S~?a??h the N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. We have to let Yang Dingtian break through to a three star Mystic Martial Warrior. If it is exceeding one rank and nine classes, then there is still a possibility of winning. If it is to exceed two ranks, then I only have one proposal. Ximen Lie said, Let Young Lord Yang Dingtian immediately escape. Besides, they wouldnt dare to really kill Yanyan. Madam Ximen nodded and agreed. Everyone give your ideas and see if there are any ways that can let Yang Dingtian breakthrough to a three star Mystic Martial Warrior in nine days. If there is any method, share it no matter how strange or evil it is. Finishing her statement, everyone present sank into their thoughts. Ximen Lie thought for a long time but ultimately shook his head. There was a flash in Ningnings eyes, which caused her face to blush slightly. Madam Ximen immediately looked at her and asked, Ningning, did you think of a method? Ximen Lie looked at Ximen Ningning with expectations, hoping she could propose a method. After some slight hesitation, Ningning shook and dropped her head down to reply, I dont have any methods. Madam Ximen let out a helpless sigh while everyone present fell into silence. Lie, you have affairs to attend to and dont have to stay here. We can think of a method slowly. You should go settle your work first. And bring Xiao Tian along to walk around Black Blood Castle, Madam Ximen said to Ximen Lie. Understood! Ximen Lie responded. Despite Yang Dingtian being puzzled by Madam Ximens suggestion, he still followed Ximen Lie outside. After Ximen Lie and Yang Dingtian were far away, Madam Ximen then asked, Ninger, if you have any methods, then say it. Ximen Lie has already left. Ximen Ningning was instantly surprised. She looked at Madam Ximen and replied softly, Mother, I, I really dont have any method. You have been by my side since you were young. You cannot fool me. Madam Ximen spoke with a gentle voice, Your eyes and expression earlier told me that you have a method. But you found it hard to share. Dont worry, we are already in such a predicament. There is nothing that cannot be spoken about. What else is there that is more important than saving Yanyan and restoring Yang Dingtians reputation? I mentioned it earlier. No matter how evil or strange the method is. After hearing Madam Ximens words, Ningning couldnt help but look at her. Before she even spoke, her face instantly blushed. But, but this method is really very strange. Ningning spoke in a shy voice, This method is sorcery that only the demon fox race has. It is called the Yin Yang Devour Mystic Ritual. It requires a special formation where the male and female are to mate within it, using special medicines, mnemonic chants, and mystic qi flow patterns. It allows the female to pour her mystic qi through the genitals into the males body to achieve the effect of a breakthrough. Finishing her explanation, Ningnings face nearly drooped all the way to her chest, and her voice was so soft that it was inaudible. After Madam Ximen finished listening, she couldnt help but blush as well, her mature and gorgeous face looking even more charming and alluring. She knew that this was extremely abnormal, but she didnt expect it to be so strange. She knew that Ningnings mystic qi wasnt suited for offense, even though it was very deep. She did have the intention for Ningning to transfer her mystic qi to Yang Dingtian, but she knew how valuable mystic qi was and how precious a womans chastity was as well. Hence, she couldnt make herself say it. It might be to save Yanyan, but Ximen Ningning was also her daughter, who she treated like her own blood. Mother, I am actually willing to go through this evil ritual and give my mystic qi to Xiao Tian. Ningning suddenly lowered her voice and said, In fact, I am willing to give my body to Xiao Tian, but... it is impossible now. Because the mystic qi in my body has poison, I cannot transfer it to Xiao Tian anymore. So, even if we have this Ying Yang Devour Mystic Ritual, it is useless. Madam Ximens brows knitted as she asked, Then, to let Xiao Tian break through to three star Mystic Martial Warrior, the woman that has to mate with him roughly requires what class of cultivation? At least Martial Ancestor class. Ningning said, Because using the Yin Yang Ritual to transfer mystic qi would only have a 1% efficiency rate. Originally, I could have done it, and I was also the best candidate, but... Madam Ximen spoke with a soft voice, It is truly difficult to find such a woman, and it will be even more difficult for that woman to willingly offer her body to Xiao Tian! ****** After walking around in Black Blood Castle for a period of time, Yang Dingtian returned to his room and regulated his breathing to recover. The courtyard he was in right now had nothing but silence, as though everyone had left. Even the servant who was cleaning and the warrior who was standing guard had all left. At this moment, the door of the room was gently pushed open. A figure walked in. It was Ler. Young Master, Madam asked for you to come over. Yang Dingtian was slightly surprised. He then nodded and stood up from the bed. Ler stepped forward to lend some support, but Yang Dingtian smiled and said, There is no need to. I am completely fine now. He was indeed recovered, although he suffered injuries in the fight against Tang Li. However, his injuries werent severe. It was more like a loss of stamina. After regulating his breath for one day and one night, along with the medicinal elixirs from Ningning, he was almost fully recovered. Yang Dingtian got up. Ler immediately helped him to clean up his face, rinse his mouth, and change into a fresh set of clothes. After everything was done, Ler said, Young Master, please come with me. With Ler leading the way, Yang Dingtian followed behind. This was actually the first time he beheld Black Blood Castle. The Black Blood Castle was less than a hundred miles away from Cloud Heaven City. The narrow passage below the mountain was an unavoidable path in order to enter or exit Cloud Heaven City. The previous few times Yang Dingtian entered Cloud Heaven City was through flying mounts, so he didnt exactly go through Black Blood Castle. It was named a castle, but it was, in fact, a large stronghold, which was hundreds of hectares wide. In the radius of more than a dozen miles, there were four other small cities that were under its protection. The entire city was made up of stacked-up giant boulders. It was extremely firm and imposing and had a height of about a hundred meters. It was equipped with powerful crossbows and barrels that could spurt magma. It had toxic formations, energy formations, and hundreds of giant catapults. In the city, apart from the 3000 elite Black Blood Cavalry, there were thousands of enlistees. Every inch of the castle was armed to the teeth, which would put fear in any influential force in the world. Because this was Cloud Heaven Citys final stronghold, it could be said that once Black Blood Castle was defeated, then it would be equivalent to defeating 80% of Cloud Heaven City. Therefore, Black Blood Castle was the largest military force of Cloud Heaven City, which was superior to Cloud Heaven City itself. Furthermore, the commander of the Black Blood Cavalry was a man who served only the City Lord and was above all others in Cloud Heaven City. After a huge dispute between Ximen Lie and Cloud Heaven City, it was equivalent to Black Blood Castle clutching Cloud Heaven City by the throat. As a result, Yang Yan and the others were probably very concerned and anxious. It was night time right now, and Yang Dingtians courtyard was a small garden, which had the best conditions in the entire Black Blood Castle. After exiting this garden, the castle looked icy-cold and tough. Everywhere else was pavements, walls, and buildings made of giant boulders. Ler led Yang Dingtian into a building made of black rocks. After he entered, he saw that it was a simple and ordinary house with plain furniture and nothing else. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but feel surprised as to why Madam Ximen would ask him to come here. He saw Ler patting on the wall. The stone wall gently turned and revealed a small opening where there were stairs leading down underground. Young Master, please follow me, Ler said. Yang Dingtian pondered for a moment before he followed her in. Once he entered the stairwell, the walls automatically closed, restoring the small house to its original state. The two of them continued to descend, going through hundreds of bends and walking many meters deep underground. Similar to Cloud Heaven City, this place should be Black Blood Castles underground prison. After walking for three minutes, they were finally at the end, and there was a stone door obstructing their way. Young Master, please enter by yourself. You just have to pat the door lightly, Ler informed him. She immediately turned and went back towards the surface. Yang Dingtian frowned slightly. He wondered why Madam Ximen asked him to come to this place, which had this strange feeling everywhere. But he was sure that no one in Black Blood Castle, be it Ningning or Madam Ximen, would harm him. Yang Dingtian walked in front of the stone door and gently patted on it. Rumble... The thick stone door opened, and beams of light shot out. Yang Dingtian was instantly surprised as he uttered something. Within, the ground was filled with blood-red magma, which flowed and gave off horrific heat. A snow-white bed made of cold jade was fixed to a platform that floated on the magma. The cold jade bed had various kinds of demon cores on it, which glowed with blurry and enchanting light, forming a strange light formation. There was weird smoke wafting around the bedside. As soon as Yang Dingtian took a sniff, his mind instantly fell into a daze while the blood vessels in his body heated up. Of course, the thing that surprised Yang Dingtian was the fact that there was a woman on the bed. On the snow-white, cold jade bed, there was a woman with fair skin facing Yang Dingtian with her back. Her beautiful hair was like clouds. Her skin was like snow. Her waist was like a snakes, and her round butt was like the moon. It was a completely naked woman, a mature woman, a woman who had looks that made it impossible to determine her age. It was an unbelievably alluring beauty who had enchanting curves that captivated the soul. Yang Dingtian instantly felt his mouth go dry because of this woman and also because of the aroma in this place. His body tensed up as he spoke with a hoarse throat, Will you... please turn around. As the woman heard his voice, she stood up slowly and turned around lightly. In this instant, Yang Dingtians heart nearly stopped. He knew why Madam Ximen asked Ler to bring him here... it was for the Yin Yang Devour Mystic Ritual. No wonder Madam Ximen suddenly asked Ximen Lie and him to leave at that time. It was actually to discuss this matter with Ningning. The woman turned around to face Yang Dingtian with her naked and attractive body. There was nothing more beautiful that could cause a persons blood vessels to swell up. With firm and snow-white breasts, ample and full thighs, there was nothing that wasnt perfect about this body. Every inch of the body oozed with feminity, like the dripping juice of a peach. There was something more captivating, which was her beautiful eyes that looked like water and mist. They looked like they were filled with a story and charm. However, her face was covered with a veil. Could you please remove your veil? Yang Dingtian asked. Chapter 110: Poison Hands Devil Corpse Chapter 110: Poison Hands Devil CorpseTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Could you... please remove your veil, Yang Dingtian asked. The woman shivered slightly and hesitated for a moment before taking off her veil. It was an absolutely alluring but unfamiliar face. Her looks werent inferior to Madam Ximens but was obviously more enchanting and had the classic oval face. She could be considered to have a mythical fox spirit face. She might be over 30 years old, but her face still looked like a beauty at the age of 20. The charm and appeal from her body gave a distinct feeling of her mature and alluring features. At this moment, the stone door behind Yang Dingtian slowly closed. Who are you? Yang Dingtian asked. A sinner, the woman replied with a delicate and moving voice. What are you trying to do now? Yang Dingtian asked again. Repent for my sins, she replied. Using the Yin Yang Devour Mystic Ritual and transferring your mystic qi to me is a way of repenting for your sins? Yang Dingtian questioned. Yes. The woman looked up with her beautiful eyes and said, Despite doing so, it still wouldnt be able to redeem one ten-thousandth of my sins. What crime have you committed? Yang Dingtian inquired. The woman fell into silence and replied, I helped foreign enemies in and stole Cloud Heaven Citys most important city-defining treasure, ruining the future of Cloud Heaven City. City defining treasure? Yang Dingtian asked, Is it that ninth grade manual? Yes, The woman replied. Yang Dingtian breathing instantly became rough and heavy as he spoke, You said you destroyed the future of Cloud Heaven City. Did you mean ruining Yanyans meridians? Yes, said the woman. Yang Dingtians heart had a surge of flames, which he desperately tried to restrain before he gradually said, Tell me the details of the story. The woman shook her head and said, I cannot tell you. It contains too many disputes that involve Yanyan. You are Yanyans husband, and I do not have the authority to tell you. Only Yanyan can explain it to you personally. Back then, did you commit this sin deliberately? Or was it unintentional? Yang Dingtian inquired. The womans beautiful eyes turned red as two drops of tears trickled down as she spoke, I didnt know it would have such a consequence, and I didnt do it intentionally. But, but it did result from my selfish motives... So you want to atone for your sin? Using your body and cultivation in exchange? Yang Dingtian spoke slowly, Is this worth it? This is, after all, your chastity and your entire lifes cultivation. I already have no one I love, and my chastity is already of no use. The woman spoke in a gentle voice, I detest my cultivation and wish that it disperses entirely. Both these things can be offered to you, and I will not regret it, nor will I have any sense of loss. Afterwards, what are you planning to do? Yang Dingtian asked, Do you want me to release you? No. The woman said, I will not leave for my entire life. I shall remain in the underground forever. I do not have the face to see anyone. I have done wrong to every single person on the surface. She didnt commit the crime intentionally, and she was kind. Hence, she was willing to offer up her body. Yang Dingtian had this rush of pity in his heart as he asked, Who are you? What is your name? You can call me Sister Qinger..., the woman replied. How many classes can you help me break through? he asked. Two classes, or even three. But at most, it will be three classes, she replied. Three classes. Which meant that he would be a two star Mystic Martial Warrior. Yang Dingtian fell into silence again. Should he accept it? In the past, he refused Yanyans proposal to use the Yin Yang Devour Mystic Ritual because of his own pride and dignity. But now, it was to save Yanyan. As for the other method, which was going to the Temple of Blood, that was something that wouldnt work. Yang Dingtian was desperately trying to resist as the fragrance that was vaporized by the magma entered his body, causing his lust to grow stronger, causing his mind to become blurry, causing his willpower to weaken. At this moment, the woman walked off the bed barefooted and walked towards Yang Dingtian on a stone bridge. A warm aromatic and an indistinct feminine fragrance assaulted his nostrils. Remember, you are not doing it for yourself. You arent even doing it to become stronger. You are doing it so that you can save Yanyan. The woman moved closer, extending her small tongue to lick Yang Dingtians earlobes as she spoke softly, This should not damage your pride. S?a?ch* Th? N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Then, the womans petite hand gently took off Yang Dingtians clothes. Yang Dingtian was desperately struggling unceasingly in his mind. No, this is unfair to you. Yang Dingtian vigorously pushed away from the woman abruptly. It is very fair... The womans voice trembled as she spoke, I, I want to vent out too... Afterwards, the womans snake-like naked body wrapped around him, using her passionate body to rub against Yang Dingtians body. She used her bright red lips to kiss Yang Dingtians cheek. Yang Dingtians face twitched. He wasnt enjoying the experience. It was more like torture. Huu... All of a sudden, the womans small mouth spat out a pink-colored mist that entered Yang Dingtians nose. In this instant, Yang Dingtians consciousness was suddenly in a daze as though he fell into a completely different world. The world was surrounded by patches of pink beauty as endless lust burned in his body. The seductive woman in front of him began to change into different faces. For a moment, it was Yanyan. Then, it became Ningning. Afterwards, it became Dongfang Bingling. It even turned into Yang Dingtians girlfriend on Earth. Soon enough, the womans small lips came over and gave Yang Dingtian a deep french kiss. Afterwards, the womans petite hands took off every piece of Yang Dingtians clothes. Their bodies intertwined and gently caressed each other, from the bridge to the cold jade bed. They were like two snakes that were in estrus as they tightly wrapped around each other. Immediately after, the woman began to chant some strange mnemonic while her body undulated with dense mystic qi. Meanwhile, the floating demon cores on the bedside began to release a strange glow and revolve, forming a bizarre screen of light. The mystic qi within this light screen became intensely concentrated. After tonight, forget everything and forget about me. Treat all this as a dream, the womans mouth stopped the mnemonic chant and whispered in Yang Dingtians ear. She then gradually pushed Yang Dingtian to lie down as she spread her legs to straddle him. No! Yang Dingtian suddenly opened his eyes and bit on his tongue. With the intense pain and fresh blood flowing, his mind instantly sobered up. Ferociously pushing the woman aside, Yang Dingtian sat up from the bed, picked up a few pieces of clothing, and immediately turned to leave. Why? The womans voice trembled from behind. I cannot do it like this. No matter what reason it is for, I will not do it like this, Yang Dingtian declared. Dont tell me, you are not going to save Yanyan? the woman asked. I will find other methods. Yang Dingtian said, Even if I use the Yin Yang Devour Mystic Ritual to break through this time, it will leave a shadow in my heart forever. I will then be unable to reach the pinnacle in this lifetime. I will never be able to defeat Dongfang Bingling. Then what about Yanyan?! the woman shouted. I will do my best. I will risk everything just to save her, even my life. If I am unable to do so, then it will be our fate. Yang Dingtian said slowly, Nothing will be able to make me go against my own principles and dignity. After finishing his statement, Yang Dingtian turned around to leave. He patted lightly on the stone door, causing the thick stone door to open. After he walked out, the stone door closed. The woman instantly collapsed on the cold jade bed and looked at Yang Dingtians back as he left while her beautiful eyes filled with tears. Furthermore, you arent that so-called Qinger... ... ******** Master, I want to go to the Temple of Blood. Yang Dingtian asked straightforwardly, In this world, is there any outsider who successfully entered the Temple of Blood and cultivated in the Blood Pool? Dongfang Niemie remained silent, which showed his answer. The Temple of Blood was a place of evil, and the Temple Master, Dugu Xiao, was a great devil that caused fear whenever his name was uttered. He didnt want Yang Dingtian to go throw his life away. Master, I have already tried my best earlier. I wanted to try the Yin Yang Devour Mystic Ritual, but I couldnt do it. I knew that once I did something like that, my future would be ruined. My pride and my confidence would be lost completely. Yang Dingtian said, Hence, I am asking you. Is there any outsider in this world that successfully entered the Blood Pool? Yes, Dongfang Niemie answered. Yang Dingtian was instantly surprised as he asked, Who was it? Poison Hands Devil Corpse, Ouyang Lun. Dongfang Niemie said, This person is neither good or evil but has a notorious name and is a gifted evil doctor. His understanding of mystic qi and mystic meridians is abnormally bizarre, and his cultivation is very high. In order to strengthen himself, he would do anything for his research. Plundering corpses, killing his wife, dissecting a human alive, and many more. Of course, this person is especially proficient in the poison dao. Almost no one else can rival him, and people have long forgotten his real name. Everyone can only remember his nickname, which is Poison Hands Devil Corpse. (TL note: Poison Hands Devil Corpse = Poison Hands Devil) Yang Dingtian listened as his body emitted a cold qi. This person seemed like a very dreadful and dangerous individual. When did he enter the Temple of Blood and cultivate in the Blood Pool? Yang Dingtian inquired. Around thirteen years ago. Dongfang Niemie said, No one knew what method he used to make the Temple Master actually agree to let him enter the Blood Pool to cultivate. But in short, he succeeded. A world-renowned expert that was proficient in poison... Yang Dingtian immediately recalled the Deep Sea Mystic Poison in Sister Ningnings legs, which had to be sucked out with the Ten Thousand Poison Devil Snake. If this man was titled as the expert that was renowned for using poison, it was highly possible that he had a Ten Thousand Poison Devil Snake. Master, where is this Poison Hands Devil at? Yang Dingtian asked. Are you thinking of asking for his help? Dongfang Niemie stated, That is impossible. The Poison Hands Devil is cruel and has a reclusive character. He is ruthless and evil and is eager to see people die miserably. He has never offered to save anyone before. He will only offer his assistance if he encounters some strange poison. But after he saved that person, he would then kill them. It is entirely impossible to ask him for help. It was true. It was impossible to hope for such a person to help, be it for the request of a Ten Thousand Poison Devil Snake or the method to enter the Blood Pool to cultivate. Not unless the sun rose from the west. Master, what is this persons weakness? It must be a fatal weakness and the kind that would make him obediently submit as soon as we poke at it, Yang Dingtian asked. Poison, a fight with poison! Dongfang Niemie said, This person is insanely passionate about all bizarre poisons in the world. Once he sees a poison that he cannot neutralize or a poison that he has never seen before, he will find a way to obtain it no matter the cost he must pay. Yang Dingtian smiled and said, Thats great! We have two kinds of bizarre poison that he certainly has never seen or heard of before! If we are to fight him with poison, we will surely win. Chapter 111: Onwards to Temple of Blood Chapter 111: Onwards to Temple of BloodTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Master, where is this Poison Hands Devil, Ouyang Lun, residing now? Yang Dingtian asked. This person has plenty of enemies in the world, and no one knows where is he staying. Dongfang Niemie said, But, I just happen to know. Moreover, I once saved his life. Poison Hands Devil is so formidable, and there are still people trying to kill him? Yang Dingtian asked. That person didnt kill him. He was merely tortured to a state in which he was begging for life or death but couldnt get either. Dongfang Niemie said, He cut open Ouyang Luns entire body and sealed molten magma inside. Once the magma solidified, it would always be inside the flesh. Furthermore, Ouyang Luns blood vessels were cut opened and filled with the Blazing Violent Snakes blood before his blood vessels were sealed back up. You will never be able to imagine that a person could be tortured like this. It is even more insane than the worlds most miserable and cruel tortures. A single glance at him is enough for you to have a nightmare for an entire life. Yang Dingtian shuddered with fear as he listened. Poison Hands Devil was such a horrible person but was still tortured so miserably. Master, who was this person? Why are his methods so evil and vicious? Yang Dingtian asked. That person was the Temple of Bloods Dugu Xiao, Dongfang Niemie replied indifferently. Yang Dingtians body shivered. If Dugu Xiao was so evil and vicious, no wonder his daughter Dugu Fengwu was the same. Ouyang Lun was originally a dashing man, but when I saw him, he didnt have any more human features as his body was swelling disproportionately. He was crawling away like a black maggot, and because of the blazing venom that was violently torturing him, he wanted to crawl to the Netherworld Swamp to relieve some pain. But, he was still more than five hundred kilometers away from the Netherworld Swamp at that time and couldnt even crawl. I was the one who saved his life and gave him an elixir. I then brought him to the center of the Netherworld Swamp where he became like a mudfish and stayed in the mud pool, Dongfang Niemie explained. Then, he is living in the center of the Netherworld Swamp? Yang Dingtian asked, How far is that place from Cloud Heaven City? The Netherworld Swamp. Yang Dingtian knew of this place. It was a swamp that extended for five hundred kilometers and was filled with mud pools and water holes where dangers lurked in every direction. There was a swamp poison that covered the top of the swamp where no sunlight could be seen even during the day. It was dark like in the middle of the night and was basically a forbidden place for life. No humans ever went there. Not even animals and demonic beasts would stay there. Only a lunatic like Poison Hands Devil would be able to reside there. This place was over 1500 kilometers from Cloud Heaven City and was at the end of the neutral Land of Chaos. After crossing the Netherworld Swamp, one would be in the Evil Daos territories. Hence, this Netherworld Swamp also formed a natural boundary. No one would travel even half a step into this dangerous place. If Yang Dingtian wanted to go to the Temple of Blood, he would have to cross this Netherworld Swamp no matter what. Child, have you decided to still go to the Temple of Blood? ******* Yang Dingtian went to look for Madam Ximen. Madam, I require a drop of blood from Master Uncle Ximen, Yang Dingtian requested. Madam Ximen shook a little before she nodded and agreed. Okay, I shall go retrieve it now. Despite the fact that she was surprised as to why Yang Dingtian would need Ximen Wuyas blood, she still agreed without asking any questions. Immediately after, she asked someone to escort her to Cloud Heaven City in order to take a drop of Ximen Wuyas blood. Afterwards, Yang Dingtian came to Ningnings room. Sister Ningning, let me see your Deep Sea Mystic Poison, asked Yang Dingtian. What is there to see? Ningnings face was flushed red as she said, I have to take off my pants you know? Yang Dingtian spoke in a serious manner, Let me see it. Seeing how serious Yang Dingtian was, Ningning rolled her eyes at him and replied, Alright, but just look. Dont make any noises. Soon enough, Ningning struggled to stand up and used both her hands to turn her delicate body around before she took off the silk trousers. She even took off her panties. In this instant, Yang Dingtian saw a sexy view that was unusual and special. Half of Ningnings enchanting and perky, white butt was green in color. Then, Ningning struggled to turn around while her lower body was completely naked. Even the most private region didnt have any form of concealment. s?a??h th? N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Ahh... A surprised noise still made it out. Because half of the hair in Ningnings nether region was a bewitching green while the other half was normal. It was extremely sexy and bewitching at the same time. But that wasnt important. The important thing was that the Deep Sea Mystic Poison that was previously only at Ningnings thigh had now extended all the way to her nether region and covered half of it in green. This Deep Sea Mystic Poison was rising slowly. Once it rose to the qi vessel area, the consequences would be inconceivable. Why didnt you tell me that the Deep Sea Mystic Poison was still spreading upwards? Yang Dingtian asked in a furious tone. Ningning replied in a tender voice, Sorry, it is sisters fault. How long before it reaches the qi vessels? Yang Dingtian inquired. Roughly, more than a dozen days..., Ningning replied. Originally, Yang Dingtian had some hesitation regarding going to the Temple of Blood, but he had no more reservations now. He had to go. He didnt just have to save Yanyan. He had to save Ximen Ningning too. Ningning, give me some of your blood with the Deep Sea Mystic Poison, Yang Dingtian requested. Okay, Ningning took out a white jade pipette and was about to prick her thighs to take some blood. Dont take the blood from there. Yang Dingtian quickly explained, I am going to give the blood to some other man. Finishing his explanation, Yang Dingtian felt embarrassed. Was his sense of possession so strong? After Ningning heard the explanation, her face blushed before she rolled her eyes at Yang Dingtian and sat down. She then took some green blood from the bottom of her foot. After hesitating shortly, she took another pipette of blood and placed it in a cold and icy jade box before handing it over to Yang Dingtian. Xiao Tian, can you tell me now? What are you going to do? Ximen Ningning asked. I am going to the Temple of Blood, to a breakthrough in the Blood Pool, Yang Dingtian explained. Ningning was shocked. Her face showed an appalled and heartbroken expression. Xiao Tiao, you have gone mad... No, I will not let you go, I will definitely not let you go! Yang Dingtian didnt reply and just looked at her quietly, expressing his absolute determination. Ningning had a mournful look as tears dropped from her eyes. The two of them fell into utter silence. Ningning lifted her head and looked at Yang Dingtian. Xiao Tian, you must go... am I right? No one can stop you right? Yang Dingtian nodded his head solemnly. But the Temple of Blood is a place of the utmost evil. Even father was fearful of that great evil, Dugu Xiao, Ningning stated. Yang Dingtian elaborated, I will first look for Poison Hands Devil, Ouyang Lun. He once successfully entered the Blood Pool to cultivate, and he should have the Omni Poison Devil Snake. (TL note: Ten Thousand Poison Devil Snake = Omni Poison Devil Snake) You are so silly. That psycho Poison Hands Devil is very dangerous! Ningning replied. Yang Dingtian fell into silence again. I will go with you, Ningning proposed. Not this time. Yang Dingtian said, I know that you have been regulating your qi during this period time, all the time, trying to suppress the threatening Deep Sea Mystic Poison. If you are to travel with me, it will endanger your life. So this time, I must go alone. You must? Ningning asked with wide eyes. I must! Yang Dingtian said resolutely. Ningning fell into silence and just lowered her head as tears fell, not saying a single thing. Shortly after, Ningning suddenly undid her clothes and revealed her snow-white and soft breasts. Yang Dingtian was surprised as he didnt know what Ningning was doing. He saw her petite hand stroke her soft breasts. She took a deep breath as though she had made a decision. Afterwards, she circulated her mystic qi, and a snow-white mist spilled out from her fingertips. Another shocking thing happened in front of Yang Dingtian. A decorative necklace slowly took form in front of her snow-white and soft breasts. It was a snow-white chain attached to a beautiful pendant. It was a transparent gem in the shape of a teardrop. It was limpid and sparkling, so temptingly pure, and it was giving off a mysterious presence. Ningning took off the necklace and gazed at it for a moment before she put it around Yang Dingtians neck. Afterwards, the necklace slowly turned invisible and vanished into the air right in front of the surprised Yang Dingtian. Xiao Tian, if you encounter any dangerous situation, reach out and stroke the necklace while circulating your mystic qi. Let the teardrop-shaped necklace take form and not even Poison Hands Devil or the Temple of Bloods Temple Master Dugu Xiao would be able to kill you. Ningning then said softly, But, you must only reveal it only at times of grave danger. Let no one else see it at any time. Remember, no one. Not even the people we trust. Otherwise, it will bring endless troubles. Even if the world is so wide, I am afraid there will not be anywhere left for the two of us to seek refuge. Yang Dingtian was instantly astonished as he took a deep breath. What was this necklace to actually have such power? In this instant, Ximen Ningnings identity became even more mysterious in Yang Dingtians eyes. Is this a teardrop? Yang Dingtian asked. Ningning nodded and replied, This is a teardrop that has solidified into a gem. Once it reveals itself, it will put the world into a perilous situation. Hence, unless it is absolutely necessary, never ever reveal it. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, Can I not wear it? This item must be very important to you and is best left on you. No, you must wear it. If not, you will bring me along. Ximen Ningning spoke in a gentle yet resolute voice, When you come back safely, you can still return it to me. Previously, you said to return the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes to you after I successfully hunted the demon cores, but it is still on my body, Yang Dingtian said. That is different. Ningning said, I dont do any fighting. Thus, that Deep Sea Mystic Clothes is of no use to me. Ningning then raised the tone of her voice immediately after and said, Xiao Tian, you remember this. As long as your life is in danger, you must reveal this teardrop necklace. I know in your heart that you would rather die than use it. So I shall tell you... if you are to die, this world will still fall into chaos even if the teardrop necklace isnt revealed, understand? When in true danger, you must use it and not let sister worry about you. Yang Dingtian nodded and spoke solemnly, I understand. ******** Four hours later, Madam Ximen came back with a pipette of Ximen Wuyas blood. Yang Dingtian then explained his intention to Madam Ximen and Ximen Lie, which the two immediately objected to after hearing it. But Yang Dingtian was very determined and after being convinced by Ximen Ningning, the two of them reluctantly allowed him to go look for Poison Hands Evil. However, they were still extremely concerned. With Ningnings exceptional skills, Yang Dingtian was disguised into an able-bodied man who had no resemblance to his original look. Afterwards, he donned the armor of a Black Blood Cavalry and left Black Blood Castle after blending himself into a platoon. Under the protection from ten Black Blood Cavalry brothers who were Great Mystic Martial Masters, Yang Dingtian rode his horse towards the Netherworld Swamp and the Temple of Blood beyond. Chapter 112: Land of Chaos, Dugu Fengwu? Chapter 112: Land of Chaos, Dugu Fengwu?Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales 100 kilometers north of Cloud Heaven City was the Land of Chaos, and throughout the whole 1500 kilometers of this Land of Chaos, it was a neutral zone that separated the Heaven Dao Union and the Evil Dao. There were plenty of neutral zones like this, but the Land of Chaos was one of the bigger ones. The Land of Chaos didnt belong to any of the influential forces, and there were no laws there. No one would bother about murders or robberies, and everything was negotiated with weapon in hand. Blood would flow every day, and innocent lives would be lost every day. In comparison, be it the Cloud Heaven Citys territories or the Northwest Qin Clans territories, the peace and serenity could be considered a paradise. Hence, those martial artists with inferior cultivation would basically only venture into the territories of those famous sects. Even though they had to pay taxes and might not have too much freedom, at least they didnt have to be concerned about losing their lives. ... By the next afternoon, Yang Dingtian had traveled more than a hundred kilometers and was at the castle that was on the northeast border of Cloud Heaven City. Of course, it was much smaller compared to the Black Blood Castle. It was even smaller than Abyss Castle and only housed fewer than two hundred warriors. As soon as one walked out of this stone door, they would lose the protection of order and would enter the barbaric environment where the weak were prey for the strong. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and rode out, galloping towards the northwest. The reason why he rode a horse instead of an aerial beast was because aerial beasts were only allowed to fly within the Cloud Heaven Citys territories. Once out of the territories, it would be immediately shot down. The current Yang Dingtian was wearing a human skin mask, which turned him into an ordinary youth that looked a little delicate. Even his weapon was decorated, and the clothes he was wearing were obviously valuable. Coupled with the fact that he had ten Great Mystic Martial Master class Black Blood Cavalry experts with him, none of the influential forces in the Land of Chaos would want to provoke them. After galloping more than an hour, Yang Dingtian had traveled another fifty kilometers, and the color of the soil was slowly turning from blood red to a pale-red color. This zone was indeed an unregulated area as Yang Dingtian had witnessed more than a dozen brawls, and more than half of those had casualties. In just over an hour, there were more than a dozen lives that had been taken, but those travelers would pretend that they didnt see anything. This Land of Chaos was truly a lawless place, filled with chaos and danger. Of course, Yang Dingtian didnt go meddling in those fights as they were all brawls and were hard to determine who was in the wrong. Basically, none of the participants were good people. Furthermore, time was pressing, and he didnt have any to spare for such matters. ... S?a??h the N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Right ahead was a river that was thirty meters in width, and there was a wooden bridge that was constructed above it. Those who want to cross the bridge shall pay one silver coin. If there is a mount, it will be two additional coins, Several fierce and vicious brutes were on the bridge and were using their weapons to extort tolls from the travelers. It was apparent that this bridge wasnt built by them, and they were just taking the opportunity to rake in the money. A guard beside Yang Dingtian immediately drew his sword and wanted to kill all these people. After all, with their current strength, it would be easy to kill all of them. Yang Dingtian gestured to stop and immediately threw over a gold coin but with eyes that revealed a glow of warning. It warned them that if they asked for anything more, Yang Dingtian wouldnt mind slaughtering them. These hoodlums naturally didnt dare to have any other vicious ideas. Yang Dingtian led the ten Black Blood Cavalry brothers and immediately rushed across the bridge. But there was something that made him let out a bitter laugh. After crossing the bridge, there was another gang set up on the other end of the bridge. Those who want to cross the bridge shall pay one silver coin. If there is a mount, it will be two additional coins. The leader of the hoodlums was waving the iron sword in his hand, but this time, it was a wretched and slim-looking youth. This was too rampant, actually asking for a toll twice on a wooden bridge that was only a hundred feet long. Honestly speaking, it would only take slightly more than a dozen silver coins to construct this wooden bridge... Yang Dingtian frowned and threw another gold coin over. But this time, the wretched youths eyes lit up, and he thought that he had encountered a cowardly cash cow. A single gold coin was equivalent to a hundred silver coins. Aiya, I got it wrong. The toll is one gold coin per person. If there is a mount, then it will be two additional gold coins. The wretched youth let out a treacherous smile while revealing an ominous glint in his eyes. It was obvious that he was planning to murder and loot them. You brought about your own demise. Yang Dingtians eyes immediately turned cold as he immediately drew his sharp sword and slashed at the treacherous youth. You dare? I am a member of the Crocodile Gang... Ahhh... Before he could finish his sentence, fresh blood splattered everywhere as the wretched youths head was cut off immediately, shocking the surround hoodlums. Before Yang Dingtian gave the orders, the ten Black Blood Cavalry experts split into two groups and wiped out all of the hoodlums on both ends of the bridge. After they finished killing them, Yang Dingtian led the ten Black Blood Cavalry experts and left quickly. Of course, no one would come and get involved. ... Afterwards, Yang Dingtian galloped on his horse until dusk, traveling another 200 kilometers. In just a short 150 kilometers, Yang Dingtian handed over eight toll fees and was extorted four times while there were four groups that plotted to murder them for money. Yang Dingtian didnt wish for such a thing to happen, but he still killed three of those groups. He finally understood something. In this Land of Chaos, unless your martial arts was at the peak, you had to kill no matter what. If you didnt kill, then you would be killed. From noon till nightfall, they had traveled a total of 350 kilometers. This speed might already be fast, but it was still not enough. Hence, they didnt have the luxury to rest at night and had to carry on making haste. There was a town ahead called Black Wind Town. It wasnt huge, but it still had a small auction house, a few taverns, a few restaurants, two or three transportation groups, and two brothels. All these were sufficient for those martial artists that stopped by for a short rest. Yang Dingtian just wanted rest for a short moment, have a meal, and change his horse before resuming their travel. They entered one of the restaurants, which was packed with people. Yang Dingtian and the ten brothers found a secluded table and had some regular dishes along with a few bottles of strong wine. The food wasnt nice, but at least it wasnt poisoned. There were plenty of mixed people who spoke in various languages. Some were shouting out while some were playing drinking games. In short, the entire hall was filled with noise, and it was unknown when was the last time these people had taken a shower. There was this unpleasant odor that pervaded the air. Did you hear about it? The trash, Yang Dingtian from Cloud Heaven City, is incredible now, Suddenly, there was this individual who was seated opposite Yang Dingtian who spoke loudly. That mad man? The twenty-year-old Initiate who practiced the Pig Slaying Sword Art? one of the men at the side inquired. Your information is outdated. He isnt an initiate anymore and is now at the Mystic Martial Artist class. That person then said, Just two days ago, he publicly fought against Cloud Heaven Citys Tang Li and simply won. Incredible right? He has experienced a reversal of fortune. At this moment, a one-eyed man snorted disdainfully and said, What do you all know? Did you think that Yang Dingtian broke through to the Mystic Martial Artist class relying on his talents? Relying on proper methods to break through over ten classes in five days? In your dreams! Do you know what he relied on to break through? In this instant, Yang Dingtians ears pricked up while the ten brothers from the Black Blood Cavalry also started listening. Some of them even placed their hands on their weapons hung at their waists. He relied on the evil Yin Yang Devour Mystic Ritual. He relied on sleeping with women. Harvesting the yin to nourish his yang, devouring womans mystic qi to break through, that one-eyed man said in a depraved tone. In this instant, Yang Dingtian was truly furious. He didnt expect this rumor to travel so quickly, taking just a few days to arrive at the Land of Chaos. It was needless to say that this was Qin Shaobais intention and this one-eyed man was one of the rumormongers that accepted money from him. Do you guys know which womans mystic qi he harvested? the one-eyed man asked. Who? Everyone looked with glittering eyes. Madam Ximen..., the one-eyed man said viciously. Everyone suddenly took a deep gasp and said, Damn it. Madam Ximen was the no.1 beauty in the Northwest Continent back in the days. This Yang Dingtian sure has the luck with women. This is truly seduction of mother and daughter. In this instant, the Black Blood Cavalry brothers eyes all turned cold and they wanted to start killing as soon as they drew their weapons. Yang Dingtian used his eyes to stop them. There were too many rumormongers like this, and there was no way to kill all of them. He just had to wait for eight days. After he defeated Qin Shaobai, this rumor would be discredited. Madam Ximen would then have her innocence validated. Afterwards, Yang Dingtian just concentrated on eating and didnt bother about all those rumors since they were all baseless words. Right at this moment, the noises in the restaurant suddenly turned into silence. The sudden silence could allow the sound of a pin drop to be heard. Not only did everyone stop talking, but they even stopped eating. Clang clang clang... Immediately after, the sound of bowls and chopsticks dropping on the ground could be heard. It seemed like someone actually lost grip of his bowl and chopsticks due to shock. Yang Dingtian involuntarily lifted his head and took a glance. He saw that everyone was looking in the same direction. Yang Dingtian followed these eyes and looked over. In an instant, all the hair on his body stood on end while the pores in his body all contracted as a cold sweat burst out. It was a woman who entered. She was wearing a veil and a black skin-tight dress. From top to bottom, only her eyes were exposed as even her hands were wearing black gloves. These eyes captivated the soul. They were extremely beautiful and seductive. Once this pair of eyes looked up, it felt as though souls were immediately drawn out of the observers. Her figure was filled with a magical charm. She had perky breasts and a butt that undulated like a mountain range, the epitome of devilish curves. It took just a pair of eyes and the devilish figure for all the men in the restaurant to lose their souls as they couldnt even hold onto their bowls and chopsticks. It was only Yang Dingtian whose heart was racing violently as his body instantly turned icy-cold. Because he had seen this woman before! Dugu Fengwu, that Dugu Fengwu who regarded human lives like weeds. The Evil Daos demon woman, the great devil Dugu Xiaos daughter. He didnt expect her to actually appear here. Yang Dingtian quickly lowered his head to eat and drink, hoping in his heart that she wouldnt recognize his disguised appearance. After all, she did say that if she met him again, she would tear him into pieces. Whatever this demon woman said, he didnt dare to doubt it. However, things didnt turn out as he wanted. Yang Dingtian hoped that she wouldnt notice him, but that demon womans attention just had to focus on him. Dugu Fengwus captivating eyes actually looked over at Yang Dingtians face immediately as she gazed intently at his face. In this instant, Yang Dingtian felt as though he was about to be suffocated. This demon woman was someone who would kill without even batting the eye. If she truly recognized him, she would certainly slash at him right away. God damn it, I, your father, have lived for more than half my years and have never seen such a woman. If I can do her even once, I can die without regrets, At this moment, that one-eyed rumormonger was speaking while gasping for air. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but look at him with eyes that were looking at a moron. He was simply tired of living to actually profane this demon woman. He must be afraid that he couldnt die fast enough. As expected, that demon womans eyes turned away from Yang Dingtian and immediately looked over at that one-eyed man. Yang Dingtian felt relief in his heart. He was waiting for the demon woman to start her slaughter and hoped he wouldnt get involved in it. But what made Yang Dingtian surprised was that this demon woman actually just nodded her head and frowned before saying, I want to take the best private room. Sure, sure, this way upstairs... The waiter in the restaurant didnt even have to consider and quickly led the way. Afterwards, the demon woman immediately followed along. Yang Dingtian let out a breath of relief while the other men were letting out heavy and erratic breaths with eyes filled with burning lust. Because when the demon woman was walking upstairs, her extremely enchanting and seductive butt curves were enough to light up any mans desire. I cannot take it anymore. I have to do her today. I must do her! That one-eyed man gasped while speaking, Otherwise, I would have lived my life in vain. Even if I have to die immediately, I still have to do her. This fool is dead for sure, Yang Dingtian sneered in his heart. Lets hurry up and eat. We will set off as soon as we finish, Yang Dingtian said. With this demon woman in the restaurant, he didnt want to stay for a second longer. Because once this demon woman started killing, she wasnt fond of killing one by one. Instead, she would kill in groups. Perhaps it was better to say that she was fond of wiping out everyone in her sights. In a few minutes, Yang Dingtian and the ten brothers swiftly finished their food and departed on their horses. They were in such a hurry that they didnt even have time to change their horses. It was better to get as far away from where the demon woman was. Yang Dingtian wouldnt be surprised if that demon woman wiped out the entire town if she was infuriated. ... After running for more than 50 kilometers, Yang Dingtian finally felt relief. Right now, the steed that he was riding on was losing its stamina from fatigue. As soon as they arrived in the next town, they needed to change their horses immediately. Due to the steeds losing their stamina, Yang Dingtians group had a much slower pace. Furthermore, there wasnt another town in sight, so they couldnt change their mounts. That demon woman wouldnt be returning to the Temple of Blood right? Please dont let that be true. Yang Dingtian was praying in his heart. If the demon woman was was in the Temple of Blood, let alone cultivating in the Blood Pool, Yang Dingtian wouldnt be able to guarantee his own life. During the night, the Land of Chaos was much more peaceful, or perhaps there were many more crimes, but they werent as prominent under the concealment of the darkness. But along the way, they basically didnt encounter anyone. In the night, the galloping sounds that came from Yang Dingtian and his group were especially clear. Clatter, clatter, clatter... All of a sudden, Yang Dingtian could hear other galloping sounds from behind, and they were moving much faster than Yang Dingtian and his group. He couldnt help but turn around and couldnt help but be terror-stricken. Because it was actually that demon woman, Dugu Fengwu. She actually caught up. Yang Dingtian instinctively reached for his sword but immediately stopped. Because the demon woman didnt have any intention to draw her sword. Dugu Fengwu was very fast and caught up to Yang Dingtian in the blink of the eye. Moreover, her captivating eyes were fixed on Yang Dingtian. Did she manage to recognize him? If that was the case, he was certainly dead. But immediately after, the demon woman, Dugu Fengwu said something that utterly surprised Yang Dingtian. Mister, save me. There is someone chasing after me, they want to rape me! The demon woman, Dugu Fengwus beautiful eyes were in a panic, as her voice trembled while pleading to Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but exclaim with astonishment, What kind of trick is this demon woman trying to pull!? Soon enough, he could see over a dozen men that were in frenzied pursuit. The one leading the group was the one-eyed rumormonger, and his only eye was gleaming with a lascivious and lustful glow. Beauty, dont go! I will surely let you die while feeling in heaven! Right now, this woman was even more frightened as she pleaded towards Yang Dingtian. Big brother, I beg you. Save me. Save me! Chapter 113: Who is She? Poison Hands Devil’s Lair! Chapter 113: Who is She? Poison Hands Devils Lair!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtians mind truly shorted out. What kind of show was the demon woman, Dugu Fengwu, trying put on? Calling him big brother and even asking him to save her life? She was terror-stricken by slightly more than ten scoundrels and was nearly raped? How was this the attitude of the demon woman? These scoundrels wouldnt even be enough for her little finger to kill, right? Could it be that this woman wasnt Dugu Fengwu? But the eyes, the figure, and the voice... everything was the same. Dugu Fengwus voices, eyes, and figure left a deep and indelible impression on Yang Dingtian since that day. Because there were the three things that no one could rival with the demon woman. Of course, there was also that heart that was like a snake or a scorpion, which was also unrivaled. Right at this moment, the scoundrels had caught up and completely surrounded Dugu Fengwu. Hehe... beauty. I have chased you for more than 50 kilometers. Lets see how much further you can run. The one-eyed man revealed his lewd eyes while ogling Dugu Fengwus devilish curves. His breathing was heavy and erratic like a torn bellows as he said, I have made a vow that if I didnt do you, I will not be able to forgive myself in this life. Dont worry, I will do you so much that you will feel as though you are in heaven. I will do you until I dont have any strength before I strangle you to death. Once this statement was uttered, Yang Dingtian couldnt help but be startled. Wouldnt all the men in the world want to keep this exceptionally beautiful woman in their home and dominate her for life? How was one night enough? Furthermore, could he bear to strangle such a beautiful woman? Is it strange? The one-eyed man said, I am fully aware of my capabilities. My ancestors would be fuming in rage if I am able to sleep with an absolute beauty like you for a single night. If I attempted to dominate you for the long term, it will be asking for death with my current strength. I guarantee that, within three days, someone would come and kill me before taking you away. Hence, I will do you eight or even ten times tonight. I will do so much until I collapse. Then, I will kill you. After this declaration was made, Dugu Fengwus eyes instantly revealed an expression of inconsolable shock before she hid behind Yang Dingtian. As soon as the one-eyed man finished his statement, he immediately rushed over and extended his hands to seize Dugu Fengwu. Big brother, save me, save me... Dugu Fengwu was hiding behind Yang Dingtian while her devilish figure was shivering. She was grabbing onto Yang Dingtians sleeve and pleading for help. The one-eyed man sneered and looked over at Yang Dingtian while saying, Friend, I dont want to have any trouble. Just hand over the beauty to me. Although you might not have a share of fun, when I am doing this beauty, you can still watch from the side. It will be worth it to reduce your lifespan by one year to be able to see such a beautiful woman nude. Yang Dingtian was now in a suspicious state of mind. Was this extraordinarily beautiful woman not Dugu Fengwu? Or was this demon woman acting and trying to torment him? Just as Yang Dingtian was in a confused state, the one-eyed man seized Dugu Fengwu who was hiding behind him and pushed her ruthlessly to the ground. En... That beautiful woman let out a painful groan and was desperately trying to escape from the ground. The one-eyed man immediately took off his trousers, revealing his hideous and sinister private parts as he suddenly pounced on that beautiful woman. He extended his hand and was going to tear off her dress. Big brother. Save me... This beautiful woman was screaming out and crying for help. She looked at Yang Dingtian with eyes that were filled with pleading and despair. Do it! Yang Dingtian gave the order and suddenly drew his sharp sword. It didnt matter if this demon woman Dugu Fengwu was acting. Yang Dingtian couldnt be bothered about it. If this beautiful woman wasnt Dugu Fengwu and if she was raped by this one-eyed man, then Yang Dingtian would be unable to forgive himself for the rest of his life. The one-eyed man was immediately surprised as his expression turned malevolent while he said, There is really a hero who will risk his life to save a damsel in distress. As he finished, he suddenly drew a fiendish saber and cleaved at Yang Dingtian while still half-naked. The sword in Yang Dingtians hand slashed down vigorously. Clang... the one-eyed mans fiendish saber was abruptly broken into two parts as it flew off. Yang Dingtians sword didnt have any signs of slowing down as he immediately slashed the one-eyed man into two. A miserable howl was accompanied by the spraying of fresh blood. In fact, this one-eyed man also had the strength of a five star Mystic Martial Artist, but he was still instantly killed by Yang Dingtian in a single slash. Concurrently, the rest of the ten Black Blood Cavalry brothers drew their sharp swords and killed the rest of the scoundrels at lightning speed. In just a few minutes, all the scoundrels were wiped out without a single escapee. After taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian dismounted his horse, walked over to the beautiful woman, and extended his hand. That extraordinarily beautiful womans eyes were still filled with lingering fear while her delicate body was still shivering. There was this rich feminine fragrance that came from her. This bodily fragrance was exactly the same as the demon woman, Dugu Fengwus. Yang Dingtians hair stood on end. This wouldnt really be Dugu Fengwus act, right? Afterward, Yang Dingtian looked at this beautiful woman with nervous eyes. She reached out her petite hand to hold onto Yang Dingtians hand, but her captivating eyes were still filled with concern as though she was worried that Yang Dingtian would suddenly transform into an inhuman beast. Yang Dingtian used a bit of strength and pulled her up from the ground. He then spoke nonchalantly, Lady, everything is okay now. If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave first. I still have to make haste. Afterward, Yang Dingtian mounted his horse and was about to leave with the ten brothers. It didnt matter whether if she was Dugu Fengwu or not. It was better to be further away from her. The beautiful woman paused for a moment. When she saw that Yang Dingtian didnt want to rape her, she let out a sigh of relief and spoke in a hurry with her delicate voice. Mister, it isnt safe for me to travel alone at night. Can I follow you for a portion of the travel? Please escort me to the next town, and I will wait for my comrades over there. Yang Dingtian felt a numbing sensation on his scalp as he really didnt want to promise her. I beg of you, please... That beautiful woman then spoke with a trembling voice, Otherwise, if another group of scoundrels comes along, then I would rather die than continue to live. Yang Dingtian took in a deep breath and said, Okay, but I will make it clear. We will only escort you to the next town. Yes, thank you, mister. The beautiful woman gave her thanks. She then walked over to Yang Dingtians horse and extended her attractive and sexy long legs to step up to the saddle. But she couldnt even execute such a simple move and couldnt get onto the saddle. Mister. Can, can you help me? My body is all soft, and I cant get up the horse. Yang Dingtian stepped up and held onto her small waist, lifting her up onto the saddle. It was truly a snake-like petite waist, which was satiny, flexible, and soft. Yang Dingtian then rode with her and carried on making haste as they galloped towards the north. ... The distance to the next town seemed very far. Yang Dingtian rode for three hours and over a hundred kilometers but still couldnt see any shadow of a town. After traveling for another three hours, it was already daybreak, and there still werent any towns. Within this period of time, Yang Dingtian became completely sure that this beautiful woman wasnt Dugu Fengwu. Because no matter how she spoke, her temperament and expression were just like those of a child who had never seen the outside world. The way she spoke was extremely innocent as well, with a trace of sorrow. She was like a pure and innocent child. ... You dont even have a hint of martial arts. Why would you venture around the Land of Chaos by yourself? This is seemingly the most chaotic and dangerous place, Yang Dingtian asked. The beautiful woman went silent for a moment before she replied, This is the first time I am venturing out, and I am ignorant about the outside world. There was supposed to be over a dozen guards protecting me, but yesterday night, numerous formidable individuals intercepted them and began to kill. My guards were holding the enemies back while they asked me to escape, saying they would catch up with me later. Hence, I rode my horse and desperately escaped. I thought I would be safe after I reached the town earlier, but I didnt expect that after I slept for a short moment, the waiter at that inn suddenly came to inform me to hurry up and run. He said that there were over a dozen scoundrels who wanted to rape me, so I quickly escaped. Then, those scoundrels caught up to me before I was rescued by you... Afterward, the beautiful woman looked at Yang Dingtian and spoke in a serious tone, It is all thanks to you. Otherwise, I would be dead, and it would have been a filthy death. You are welcome, Yang Dingtian responded. Young Master, there is a town ahead, one of the Black Blood Cavalry suddenly said. Yang Dingtian lifted his head. There was indeed a town just a few kilometers ahead. Lady, then we will bid farewell at the town ahead. Find a safe place and wait for your comrades, Yang Dingtian advised. The beautiful woman didnt look cheerful and was instead disappointed as she nodded. Yang Dingtian hesitated for a moment and finally asked, What is your name? The ladys beautiful eyes had a trace of shyness as she replied, You, you can call me Shuanger. Yang Dingtian originally wanted to ask about her relationship with Dugu Fengwu, but he couldnt. Because once he asked that question, it might bring about a grave danger later on. Right now, there was a small stream where the water was so clear that one could see the bottom. Shuanger let out a cheer and ran over. Yang Dingtian frowned and followed along. This was a complicated situation, and there might be danger at any moment. She was a weak lady who didnt have any form of strength. Thus, he shouldnt be too far away from her. The brothers from the Black Blood Cavalry were standing guard by the roadside. After walking for more than a hundred meters, Yang Dingtian finally saw Shuangers back view under a remote bridge. It seemed like being underneath the bridge gave her a sense of security. When there was still about a dozen meters between them, Yang Dingtian stopped. Shuangeer was crouching by the stream and seemed to be washing her face and drinking the water. Her devilish figure that already had magical curves exposed her fatally tempting butt curves after she crouched down. She first took off her veil before taking off another mask. It was this mask that caused Yang Dingtians body to shiver because Dugu Fengwu had the same mask. But shortly after, he realized that the mask was different from Dugu Fengwus. It was a silver mask, while Dugu Fengwu had a golden one. After taking off the mask, Shuanger looked closely at the surface of the water as though she saw an inverted image of herself. She remained motionless for a long time, as though bewitched by her own beauty. Yang Dingtian had this moment of curiosity in his heart, wondering if her face looked exactly the same as Dugu Fengwus face. But she should be intoxicated because everyone in the world would be intoxicated by such a suffocating beauty. After fixing her eyes of her own image for a moment, Shuanger leaned forward towards the river while pouting her lips. At this moment, her well-developed and round buttocks were raised up high, threatening to break open her dress. Yang Dingtian might not have any evil desires in his heart, but his breathing still became erratic. This was a devilish body that could ignite the lust of any man. Suddenly, Shuanger asked, Mister. How do you think I look? Yang Dingtian replied, Absolutely beautiful. Shuanger then asked again, You saved my life and talked so much with me along the way. Did you know you are the only person who ever talked so much with me? Now, do you want to see my face? Do you want to see how I look? Yes! Yang Dingtian responded. He wanted to see if Shuangers face was exactly the same as Dugu Fengwus face. Shuanger remained silent for a moment before she slowly turned around to confidently reveal her face. When Yang Dingtian saw this face, his body instantly shivered, revealing a surprised look of disbelief. Not because it was too beautiful and also not because it looked exactly the same as Dugu Fengwus. On the contrary, it was a very strange face, so much so that it was frightening. This face had an extremely flawless outline. Be it the eyes, nose, mouth, or the entire structure of the face, it was flawless and looked just like Dugu Fengwu. But, the skin on her face was filled with scales, very fine scales that were blue with a trace of purple. The entire face was like that all the way down to her neck. As far as the eyes could see it, there was nothing but scales. This kind of scale was like the scale of a mermaid and also like the scale of a snake. When Shuanger saw Yang Dingtians surprised look, she showed a frigid smile and said, It is also this expression. Everyone who sees me has this expression. My father, my maid, my servant. When anyone sees me, it was as though they saw a ghost... Right at this moment, Shuanger let out a miserable smile of despair and mocked, In fact, mister didnt even have to save me earlier on. Once that scoundrel tore my clothes and saw my appearance, he would certainly be terror-stricken and would run as far as he could. He would never want to touch me again. Because every inch of my body is covered in these scales, even the most private area. I knew that everyone would be afraid of me and find me disgusting. Everyone calls me a female yaksha... As Shuanger spoke, tears fell to the ground. Her face, her beautiful eyes were completely filled with despair. Do you know why have I never ventured out? Because I am afraid that others would look at me as though I was a ghost. Not only would I scare the people in my home, but I would also scare the people outside, Shuanger spoke with a mournful voice. At this moment, Yang Dingtians heart was filled with limitless pity and sympathy as he fixed his eyes on her face. He then spoke in a gentle voice, Lady Shuanger, my surprised look wasnt because I was frightened by you. It was because I felt the unfair treatment given to you from the heavens. He gave you the most beautiful eyes, the most enchanting figure, the most pleasant voice but used a layer of scales to conceal your captivating beauty. You dont have to console me. You were simply frightened by me, Shuanger spoke with sorrow. No. Your looks might scare others, but they cannot scare me. Yang Dingtian said, To be honest, you might not even believe it. I find your looks rather tempting in a very, very sexy way. Yang Dingtian wasnt lying. He truly felt this way. He didnt think it was frightening and felt a peculiar sense of attraction instead. But my whole body is like this, Shuanger said and immediately loosened her dress and pulled it aside. In this instant, her entire delicate body was bare naked in front of Yang Dingtian. It was true. Every inch of her skin was covered in the scales, even the most private area. But this delicate body had the most perfect and sexiest curves. Yang Dingtian recalled a movie called X-Men back on Earth that had a female mutant who was covered in a layer of scales. The Shuanger in front of him was similar to that female mutant, but compared to her, be it her curves, the outline of her face, or her eyes, Shuanger was better in every way. Hence, the moment when Shuanger opened up her dress, Yang Dingtians eyes were wide open and were burning with passion. After all, he had tasted plenty of hardcore flavors on Earth, and the Shuanger in front of him was just another type of attraction and sexiness. The eyes of a person would never lie. When Shuanger saw Yang Dingtians passionate and bright eyes, she was pleasantly surprised, and her eyes lit up brightly as well. Are you really not afraid of me? You dont find my appearance disgusting? Yang Dingtian shook his head and replied, Of course not! But Lady Shuanger, you better wear your dress properly first. I cannot resist this temptation and might reveal my hideous self. For an instant, Shuanger regained her shy nature. Her beautiful eyes looked at Yang Dingtian with a different look as she spoke in a soft voice, You are the first person who is not afraid of me. I am really happy. Thank you. Yang Dingtian smiled lightly and said nothing. I have never left my home before. Do you know why I came out this time? Shuanger asked. Yang Dingtian shook his head. Because I am going to die. I cannot live any longer, and I didnt want to die before seeing the outside world. Shuanger said, I feel that I am sufficiently satisfied after meeting you this time. Yang Dingtian paused for a moment and asked in shock, Why? Because I have a type of poison in my body. A kind of poison that no one can neutralize. Shuanger said, But, I am not fearful of death. Instead, I feel it is a kind of relief. Because I do not have any mystic qi and I look so strange. Why not be dead instead of being alive? You dont know what you are talking about. Yang Dingtian spoke loudly, There is a lot of meaning to life. You can draw, sing, write stories, and sculpt. Do you know how many more things are there to do? Sing? Shuangers eyes lit up and asked, You, you can sing? Yang Dingtian paused and nodded. Then sing for me. Just this time, okay? Shuanger requested. Okay. Yang Dingtian said, But, wear your dress properly first. Otherwise, with so much temptation, my breathing will be too erratic, and I will not be able to sing. After listening to this statement, Shuangers beautiful eyes had a pleased look while she blushed with delight. She then wore her dress properly again. She ran over to Yang Dingtians side and sat on the grass. Yang Dingtian dismounted the horse and sat on the grass too. The horse then just bent over and leisurely grazed on some grass. Yang Dingtian thought a moment and looked at this pitiful girl who would leave this world of the living soon and sang: Nipping a smiling flower Thinking how the world would change No one will know how the outcome will be The sun and moon will mutually ebb and rise Wealth and nobility is hard to maintain Todays mien would be older than yesterday nights The space between the brow is just the width of a word Take a look at a portion of the humanly scene Who didnt have a taste of sorrow and happiness The sea and the sky are an endless walk ... The song (Mutual Absence) that he sang was a song from Earth. He felt that this song was pleasant to the ears, and his singing wasnt bad either. This might be a song that was sung by a woman. But because of Yang Dingtians thoughts and feelings, he sang it rather well, and it was quite pleasant. Shuanger was listening intently, and she liked it a lot. She was even intoxicated by it. Of course, Yang Dingtians singing skills werent so good, but she was intoxicated because someone was singing for her. Yang Dingtian was singing while Shuanger was sitting by his side and quietly listening. Her head tilted slightly and gently leaned on Yang Dingtians shoulder. The space between the brow is just the width of a word Take a look at a portion of the human worlds scene Who didnt have a taste of sorrow and happiness The sea and the sky is an endless walk Gratitudes and grudges are hard to account for Yesterday shouldnt be forgotten today The torrential waves make a human look so small as the youth fly away like the birds Even though it is rocky in the ancient flow of wind Yang Dingtian continued to sing. Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the river, the hurried sounds of galloping could be heard. S~?a??h the N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. It was over a dozen sinister experts who were wearing black mantles and riding giant warhorses. They rode like the wind, riding across the river in an imposing manner. The leader of the group was a tall and huge woman with gloomy and cold eyes. All of these people had very high cultivation bases, and every one of them had a bloodthirsty qi presence and chilling eyes. Each of their mantles was embroidered with a blood-red bat. Yang Dingtian was still singing as though he couldnt see this group of individuals arriving. ... The sea and the sky is an endless walk Gratitudes and grudges are hard to account for Yesterday shouldnt be forgotten today ... Just as this group of people was about to arrive, Yang Dingtian finally finished his song. The gloomy and cold female leader suddenly reached out her hand and grabbed Shuangers arm and immediately lifted her onto the front of her saddle. She then suddenly drew a sinister sharp sword and was about to cleave towards Yang Dingtians head. From a distance, the ten Black Blood Cavalry brothers rushed over in a frenzy. Black Phoenix, if you kill him, I will die! Shuanger spoke softly. That woman who was called Black Phoenix glared at Yang Dingtian before she abruptly turned the horse around and galloped off. In an instant, the rest of the black-mantled experts rode across the river like the wind. Big brother, what is your name? Suddenly, Shuanger who was being carried away shouted. Yan Nantian! Yang Dingtian replied loudly. I will remember you. Until the day I die, Shuanger yelled back in reply. Dont die. Live well, Yang Dingtian shouted. Afterward, the black mantled riders vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye. ***** After reaching the town, Yang Dingtian changed his mount and began to make haste without any rest, traveling more than 500 kilometers in a single day. 30 hours later, he arrived at the edge of the Netherworld Swamp. Everyone, wait here for me, Yang Dingtian spoke to the ten Black Blood Cavalry brothers. Understood! The ten brothers responded in unison. Yang Dingtian had decided on this plan a long time ago because there were no humans and no demonic beasts in the Netherworld Swamp. As for the Poison Hands Devil, it would be useless to bring the Black Blood Cavalry brothers along. Yang Dingtian dismounted. Right ahead was the Netherworld Swamp, which was an uninhabited region that extended for 500 kilometers. The entire Netherworld Swamp was an obvious boundary within the continent. One side of it was a hard and flat land while the other side was sinister and filled with rotten swamps that had emanated a lingering miasma. With a single glance, one could see it was two different worlds. The entire swamp was covered in gloomy mist and the smell of rot. Yang Dingtian consumed an elixir and took in a deep breath before stepping into the swamp. He was extremely careful because there were quagmires and poisonous miasma everywhere. But, Yang Dingtian had already consumed a special elixir and was sucking on a Water Avoidance Pearl. Hence, he wasnt in any danger and just had to be extra cautious. One hour. Two hours. Three hours. ... Five hours. Yang Dingtian was carefully walking into the depths of the swamp. The entire heaven and earth was filled with nothing but dead silence. There was only the sound of Yang Dingtian stepping through the mud. It was as though Yang Dingtian was the only human in the world. Such solitude would definitely drive a person crazy after an extended period of time. Right now, the sky was already dark. But, the visibility was actually slightly better than daytime because the water in the quagmires was emitting a faint green light. It might look disgusting, but it did create some illumination. Furthermore, there were even green ghost flames on the surface of the water. Yang Dingtian used these green lights and ghost flames to continue deeper into the swamp. Two hours later, Yang Dingtian was finally in the deepest part of the Netherworld Swamp. At this point, Yang Dingtian could smell a nauseating stench, which was the smell of death and evil. It was something that caused shivers all over his body even though it wasnt cold. Yang Dingtian understood! He was about the reach the Poison Hands Devils lair! Chapter 114: Poison Showdown! Shocking! Chapter 114: Poison Showdown! Shocking!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian had arrived at the lair of the Poison Hands Devil. Right ahead was this gigantic swamp. The reason why Yang Dingtian was able to recognize that this was the lair of the Poison Hands Devil because there were countless corpses and remains floating on it. They were basically all human remains with the occasional demonic beast remains. Every piece of it was rotten, and it was oozing with a nauseating stench. The blood from the remains had been mixed together with the muddy water, forming completely gloomy green substances that looked very disgusting. It was obvious that even though the Poison Hands Devil lived in seclusion in the swamp, he still hadnt forgotten about his evil research. In regards to these corpses and remains... there were plenty of people who died in the Land of Chaos every day. The Poison Hands Devil could easily use his money, herbs, and even poison to exchange for such things. But this Poison Hands Devil, Ouyang Lun, was indeed a matchless evil individual. But above this giant cavity, apart from the floating corpses, there was nothing but disgusting slurry, and there was no trace of Ouyang Luns figure. He should have lived within the mud for a long period of time. ... Taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian came to the front of the giant cavity and spoke slowly, Disciple of Dongfang Niemie pays his respects to Senior Devil Corpse. There was nothing but silence in the swamp, and there wasnt any reaction either. In front of Yang Dingtian was an ordinary swamp, which didnt look like a spot one used for seclusion. It felt as though the greeting happened within a dream realm. Yang Dingtian greeted again. Disciple of Dongfang Niemie pays his respects to Senior Devil Corpse. I dont care who Dongfang Niemie is. You shall die if you enter my territory. I just happen to require a heart for my experiments, Poison Hands Devil spoke slowly. Soon enough, a giant sound echoed as a giant abruptly emerged from the pool. It released a putrefying stench as it rushed at Yang Dingtian. When Yang Dingtian saw the giant, he nearly vomited as hed never seen such a disgusting life form before. This giant couldnt be addressed as a human. It was more like a walking corpse. The giants leg was the product of three or four human legs stitched together. The giants body was also put together using three or four human bodies. The giant only had one head, but it was puffed up and gigantically big. There were wounds all over its body, and there was disgusting pus fluid flowing everywhere. There was a huge wound on its stomach, and the intestines were spilling out from the wound, which was already miserably green due to the rot. This basically wasnt a human but an evil entity that was put together using plenty of corpses. The most disgusting thing was that it had three arms. The right and left shoulders each had an arm, but then there was an arm that grew on its back. Each of the three arms wielded different weapons, which were a giant steel hammer, a razor-sharp metal chain, and a giant cleaver respectively. Dismember the intruder! Once Poison Hands Devil gave the order, the giant corpse rushed over ferociously and attacked Yang Dingtian with the three equipped hands. He completely ignored the fact that Yang Dingtian was the disciple of Dongfang Niemie, who once saved his life. Before he even fought, Yang Dingtian nearly fainted from the putrid stench. He held his breath and drew his weapon, waiting to receive the steel hammer from the giant corpse. The giant hammer weighed a few hundred kilograms. As it swung down hard, it crushed down like Mt. Tai. It drew across the air with a whizzing sound as it was about to smash Yang Dingtian into smithereens. Bang... Yang Dingtians cold blade blocked the steel hammer of the giant corpse. In this instant, there was this incomparably huge energy that transmitted over as Yang Dingtian immediately lost the sense of touch in both of his hands. His entire body felt as though itd been struck by a tank. He could feel veins bursting inch by inch in his arms as fresh blood sprayed out violently while his body was sent flying several meters away. There was nothing profound about the giants move. It wasnt fast or agile either, but the strength was astounding. It was far beyond Yang Dingtians expectations. My giant corpse could swing the hammer with the force of 5000 kilograms. You actually dare to block with your fleshly body? You are simply asking for death, Poison Hands Devil sneered. After Yang Dingtian spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, he sat up with a clearer mind. You actually didnt die? You took a hammer strike from my giant corpse and didnt die? Poison Hands Devil exclaimed with surprise. If it was any regular person, that person would have died from the impact. But Yang Dingtian had the Ning Yang Mystic Meridians. Furthermore, three layers of his marrow essence and arteries were cleansed by Dongfang Niemie. Hence, he was able to withstand terrifying attacks and also had a terrifying ability to recover. After standing up again, Yang Dingtian consumed an elixir that slowly reduced the pain in his body. That ripping pain felt as though it was being extinguished by a refreshing sensation. It was indeed a fifth-grade elixir brewed by Ningning. Yang Dingtian raised the strange blade in his hand and pointed it at the giant corpse. Right now, he understood that the giant corpse might have extraordinary strength, but it wasnt nimble, and its moves were stiff. It was easy to kill, but he couldnt go on a full-frontal assault against it. Kill... Yang Dingtian yelled out while his body flashed forward, thrusting the strange blade towards the chest of the giant corpse. The fourth move of Pig Slaying Sword Art was ruthless and unwavering. It hit its target immediately. But this giant corpse didnt sustain any damage as Yang Dingtians strange blade seemed to strike a wall. It wasnt able to penetrate an inch. Yang Dingtian burst with rapid speed and looked at the giant corpse in horror. This monsters outer skin seemed to have been refined by some herbs and was impervious to sword and spears. It was like a real copper wall. As such, this giant corpses battle strength was astounding. Even though it wasnt fast or nimble, it was indestructible and wouldnt sustain any damage. What if I use mystic qi? Yang Dingtian thought in his heart. Soon after, Yang Dingtian flashed out like lightning and thrust towards the giant corpses chest again. This time, he burst forth with all his mystic qi at the same time. But, there was still no damage to the giant corpse. There was even a shallow dent on the sword while nothing could be seen on the corpse. Soon enough, Yang Dingtian understood the reason. The mystic qi was specifically for damaging the enemys mystic meridians and inner organs, but this giant corpse was an inanimate being. It didnt have any mystic meridians, and thus, mystic qi attacks were useless against it. Haha, this giant corpse puppet is the result of my lifes research. You will only be able to damage it in your dreams, Poison Hands Devil snorted. Yang Dingtian held onto the modified strange blade and glanced at the giant corpse indifferently. Kill him, As the Poison Hands Devil gave his order, the giant corpse rushed ferociously again. This time, it swung the metal chain, rolling it towards Yang Dingtians neck. Yang Dingtian let out a cold smile. Ningning and Ximen Lie were afraid that Yang Dingtian might expose his identity. Thus, they made some modifications to his strange blade, wrapping it with a layer of black iron. Right now, in the face of this giant monster, there was no meaning to concealing it anymore. As the strange blade was stabbed into the ground, Yang Dingtians arm shook vigorously. The incomparably sharp Night Owl Strange Blade instantly shattered the layer of black iron, revealing a twistedly terrifying blade. Bang... The giant corpses metal chain was whipping towards Yang Dingtians head and was about to wrap around his neck. Yang Dingtians strange blade drew across. Bang... In this instant, the giant corpses metal chain was sliced apart like tofu. Ss... Immediately after, Yang Dingtians sword abruptly stabbed into the giant corpses chest, letting out an ear-piercing sound like that of ripping leather. The four-foot-long strange blade completely pierced into the chest of the giant corpse. Afterward, Yang Dingtian drew out the giant blade and backed off several meters, waiting for the giant corpse to fall. A green disgusting fluid flowed out from the chest wound, but the giant corpse couldnt feel a thing. It just looked down dumbly and didnt fall. In fact, it didnt even feel any pain. Yang Dingtian was startled. It still didnt die after having its heart pierced? But Yang Dingtian quickly understood that this giant corpse was an inanimate being and might not even have a heart. How could it die after being pierced in its chest? How is this possible? What sword is that? It can actually pierce through my giant corpse puppet? My puppet has been soaked in medication for 49 days and is tougher than steel. How did your sword pierce it? Poison Hands Devil instantly let out an astonished voice. Tough? Is it tougher than the best quality black blood gold sword? Can it be superior to the claw of the Night Owl? Can it defeat the Mystic Ice Cold Metal? Yang Dingtian sneered in his heart. Afterward, he continued to rush forward, using the strange blade to attack the giant corpse with lightning speed. Swish Swish Swish... After over a dozen consecutive slashes, there were several wounds that were drawn across the giant corpses body, each of them over a foot long. The giant corpses body was instantly turned into one with thousands of pits and wounds, but this monster was still doing fine and was still attacking Yang Dingtian in a frenzy. Immediately after, Yang Dingtian changed his methods and stopped attacking the monsters body and instead attacked its limbs. Swish Swish Swish Swish... Numerous successive slashes were made. Yang Dingtian immediately chopped the two giant legs into several segments, dwarfing the five-meter-tall giant in an instant. However, this giant corpse still couldnt feel any pain, and its three arms were still attacking like crazy. But, this giant corpse originally had two advantages in its extraordinary strength and indestructible skin. Once the indestructibility was broken, its slow movements made it nothing more than an object that could do nothing but endure attacks. After severing the two legs, Yang Dingtian rapidly severed the fearsome arms. At this moment, the giant corpse puppet had been turned into a dreadfully giant human stick. But since it couldnt feel any pain, its face was still as sinister as it opened its mouth wide in an attempt to bite at Yang Dingtian. The scene was so amazingly disgusting that it sent shivers down his spine. After all this, you still wont die? I shall chop off your head and see if you will die then, Yang Dingtian declared coldly before he beheaded the giant corpses disgusting head. The head that was the size of a barrel rolled on the ground while the giant corpses body finally collapsed. However, that giant corpses disgusting and repulsive head was still trying to chomp even after it rolled across the ground, letting out sinister roars. Yang Dingtian was surprised. It was still alive after the head was separated from the body. I would like to dig out your brain and see what exactly it is made up of. I will turn your brain into a paste and see if you would die then, Yang Dingtian spoke coldly and began to brandish the strange blade as he aimed at the giant corpses brain, preparing to smash it into pieces. Stop, stop, have mercy with your blade. In this instant, Poison Hands Devil yelled out fearfully. S~?a??h the N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtians strange blade suspended above the giants corpses brain as he spoke indifferently, Why should I be merciful with my blade? If you didnt bother about the favor that my master did for you, why should I bother? If this giant corpses body is ruined, it can be reconstructed, but the brain would be a huge problem. It is my lifes work, and if you destroy it, I will truly have nothing else left, Poison Hands Devil spoke in a hoarse voice. Oh? Yang Dingtian was delighted. He was worried that he would have nothing to threaten Poison Hands Devil with, but it seemed like this giant corpses brain was his lifeblood and could be used to threaten him. It is possible if you want me to spare this brain. You just have to answer a few of my questions. Yang Dingtian immediately held onto that leverage. You ask, you ask, Poison Hands Devil compromised. Back then, you successfully entered the Blood Pool to cultivate. How did you do it? Yang Dingtian asked. What are you asking this for? Poison Hands Devils voice immediately became loud and sharp as though hed been electrically shocked. His voice was frightened and indignant at the same time. Answer my question or I will ruin your lifes work. Yang Dingtian pierced the strange blade one inch into the skull of the giant corpse as he spoke coldly. Stop, stop..., Poison Hands Devil responded quickly. Afterward, Poison Hands Devil sank into a deep silence and took a few minutes before he explained, Because, over twenty years ago, I once unintentionally saved Dugu Xiaos life. Back then, he was only the Young Lord of the Temple of Blood and had offended people from the Sea of Hades. He was then afflicted with a rare poison. Even though he managed to kill the people from the Sea of Hades, he was unable to deal with the rare poison in his body. Hence, he came to look for me. I didnt know who he was and didnt want to save him either. But the rare poison from the Sea of Hades was too strange, and I just couldnt hold myself back. Thus, I neutralized the poison. Poison Hands Devil paused for a moment before he continued, After I treated him, I intended to kill him with another poison. But he actually told me that he was the Young Lord of the Temple of Blood and because I saved his life, he will agree to do something for me. I said I wanted to cultivate in the Blood Pool, and he agreed to it, but it had to be after a few years when he succeeded the current Temple Master of the Temple of Blood. Only then would he have the authority. And sure enough, he became the Temple Master after a few years. Hence I successfully entered the Blood Pool to cultivate and became the first outsider to cultivate in the Blood Pool. Yang Dingtian instantly took a deep breath and finally understood. It was because Poison Hands Devil saved Dugu Xiaos life that he was given the opportunity to cultivate in the Blood Pool. This condition was too difficult. The current Dugu Xiao was a Grandmaster Class expert. He was ranked top five in the world, maybe even top three. Who was actually qualified to save him? What happened to you later? How did you offend Dugu Xiao for him to torture you like this? Yang Dingtian asked. Once this question was asked, Poison Hands Devils body instantly shivered as though he had a nightmare. I, I didnt do anything. After I exited the Blood Pool, I successfully broke through two classes within half a month. Dugu Xiao caught me and dug open my flesh and poured molten lava in. He sliced open my blood vessels and poured the snake blood in. Tormenting me so much that I was neither human or ghost. Poison Hands Devils voice trembled as he said, I didnt do anything. He promised to let me enter the Blood Pool and he complied with that, but he didnt promise to not torture me. And just because I entered the Blood Pool to cultivate once, he tormented me so much that I would rather die than live. But back then, I wanted to cultivate in the Blood Pool out of curiosity and never expected such a consequence. If I had known, even if you had let me go in ten or a hundred times, I wouldnt have gone. After hearing Poison Hands Devils explanation, Yang Dingtian shivered even though he wasnt cold. This great devil was truly more vicious and more wicked than his daughter, Dugu Fengwu. Was there a need to pay such a great price for outsiders to enter the Blood Pool once? Even if Yang Dingtian was a lunatic, he wouldnt be willing to pay such a disastrous price. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and asked, Then, I shall now ask you the second question. Do you have the Poison Devil Snake? Sister Ningnings Deep Sea Mystic Poison had been extending towards her qi vessels. Treatment must not be delayed any longer, and it could only be sucked out by the Poison Devil Snake. Hence, this matter might be even more important. When Poison Hands Devil heard the second question, he immediately withdrew his miserable cries and sneered, No one within 5000 kilometers has a Poison Devil Snake except me. Of course I have it. How can I not have it? Senior, I wish to have this Poison Devil Snake, Yang Dingtian requested. In your dreams! Poison Hands Devil shouted with a cold voice, If you want to take something from me, Poison Hands Devil, it can only happen in your dreams. Afterward, Poison Hands Devil spoke in a cold and sinister manner, Do not attempt to threaten me with the giant corpses brain. Otherwise, I shall let you die here. Do not suspect that I do not have that capability. Of course, he had that capability, and Yang Dingtian didnt doubt it. Yang Dingtian let out a faint smile and said, Of course, I will not be taking your things without any price. I will use an even more precious item to exchange for it. Poison Hands Devil immediately snorted disdainfully and sneered, Any precious item will be like dog poop in my eyes. If you want to obtain my Poison Devil Snake, then do it in your dreams. Yang Dingtian said, I heard that Senior Devil Corpse is the worlds no.1 in the poison dao and there is no poison in the world that you cannot neutralize? Is there such a thing? Of course, Poison Hands Devil spoke with pride. But I currently have a rare poison that Senior might not have seen, let alone be able to neutralize. Yang Dingtian laughed. Impossible. Poison Hands Devil spoke sternly and loudly as though he was suffering the largest humiliation, Absolutely impossible, even if the sun rose from the west and the mountain stream reverses in direction. How old are you? How can you possibly have a poison that I cannot neutralize? Did you even say that I have never seen this poison before? Ridiculous. Then, we shall have an official poison showdown. If the rare poison in my hands can be neutralized by senior, then it will be my loss, and I shall let senior punish me in whichever way you want. Yang Dingtian smiled and said, If senior cannot neutralize the poison, then it will be my win, and your Poison Devil Snake shall belong to me. At this moment, Yang Dingtian had two kinds of rare poisons on his body. One of them was the Deep Sea Mystic Poison. The other was the blood that was infected by the Soul Devouring Mystic Qi. These two rare poisons were untreatable in this world, and Yang Dingtian didnt believe that Poison Hands Devil could neutralize it. He didnt even think that Poison Hands Devil had even seen it before. Okay, deal. Poison Hands Devil sneered while his voice was filled with the utmost confidence. He would rather die than believe that Yang Dingtian was able to produce a rare poison that he couldnt neutralize. Yang Dingtian was young, and his cultivation class was low. It would be a pipe dream for him to produce a rare poison. Afterward, Poison Hands Devil spoke with disdain, Now, toss over your so-called rare poison. Yang Dingtian took out a bottle that contained Ximen Wuyas blood, which was infected with the Soul Devour Mystic Qi from Zhu Qingzhu. How should I give the poison vial to you? Yang Dingtian asked. Just throw it into the quagmire, Poison Hands Devil spoke with impatience. In the quagmire, there was a formless hand that sucked the vial down directly. Beware senior. Do not touch the poison in the vial, Yang Dingtian advised. Hurhur, there is no poison in the world that I cannot touch and am afraid of. Poison Hands Devil sneered with disdain. Eh? Ahh... Before he could finish his sentence, his voice changed, and he let out a weird cry of surprise. His voice trembled as he spoke, What, what is this poison? It, it is actually so strange and astonishing? Is there actually such a mystical and horrific poison in the world? Poison Hands Devils voice began to tremble with fear. Chapter 115: Devil Snake Captured! Entering the Temple of Blood! Chapter 115: Devil Snake Captured! Entering the Temple of Blood!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Afterward, the Poison Hands Devil was like a drug addict who just had his dose as he let out various strange shouts of excitement and horror. But such shouts were torturous for Yang Dingtians ears. Poison Hands Devils fanatical obsession towards the rarest poisons in the world was far beyond his imagination. It was possible to say that if the Soul Devour Mystic Qi werent so extremely fatal, this lunatic Ouyang Lun would have swallowed this poison into his stomach by now. Poison Hands Devil yelled out excitedly for more than ten minutes before he gradually calmed down. Yang Dingtian then asked, Senior Ouyang, you have never seen this lethal poison and dont know what it is, right? This poison is something I have never seen before... Poison Hands Devil Ouyang Lun said, And I truly do not know what kind of poison it is either. When he said this statement, his tone was upset and dismayed, but it also contained great excitement. He was truly a contradictory person. Yang Dingtian wasnt surprised about this outcome. He instantly smiled and said, Then, this bet is considered my win... I know it now. This is the Soul Devour Mystic Qi... Suddenly, Poison Hands Devil Ouyang Lun yelled out with excitement. My god, it is actually the Soul Devour Mystic Qi. It has been several centuries since the worlds no. 1 evil mystic qi has descended to the mortal realm again. The world is about to fall into chaos... This time, it was Yang Dingtians turn to be surprised. This Poison Hands Devil actually knew that this was the Soul Devour Mystic Qi. It was as he said. This Soul Devour Mystic Qi had vanished from the world for centuries, and almost everyone had forgotten about it. Senior, is there a way to neutralize it? Yang Dingtian asked with expectation. Yang Dingitan hoped he had a method, then even if it would mean he loses this bet. In this instant, there was silence in the quagmire. Poison Hands Devil spoke after a moment, I do not have any. The Soul Devour Mystic Qi cannot be neutralized. Yang Dingtians heart fell as he was very disappointed. Poison Hands Devil said, I cannot neutralize it. Hence, this bet is your win, but why do you seem so unhappy? Could someone that is close to you have suffered from this Soul Devour Mystic Qi? Thats right, someone who is closest to me. Yang Dingtian spoke slowly as he sorted through his feelings. Senior Devil Corpse, you have lost. So please fulfill your promise and hand the Poison Devil Snake over to me. Kick the head of the giant corpse puppet into the quagmire first, Poison Hands Devil said. Yang Dingtian hesitated slightly before he kicked the disgusting and horrific head, which was Poison Hands Devils lifes research, into the quagmire. Immediately, another formless hand swallowed the giant head. Alright, Senior, can you now hand the Poison Devil Snake over to me? Yang Dingtian asked. Haha, in your dreams. I did lose the bet, but I will never hand the Poison Devil Snake to you. Since I already have the Soul Devour Mystic Qis blood with me. Poison Hands Devil laughed out loudly. Is Senior going back on his words? Are you going to violate the bet? Yang Dingtian asked furiously. Thats right, I am going back on my words. What can you do to me? If you arent afraid of death, you can charge into the quagmire, Poison Hands Devil laughed loudly and said. Yang Dingtian looked at the giant quagmire in front and couldnt even fathom how much extreme poison was in it or how dangerous it was. But he knew that once he jumped in, death was going to be waiting for him. Senior is also renowned throughout the world. Why are you behaving like a scoundrel? Yang Dingtian asked coldly. I was originally a despicable and shameless person. The things I have said, the vows I have made were all treated as utter nonsense. You didnt understand my personality. Hence, you were tricked by me. Who can you blame? Poison Hands Devil sneered. Yang Dingtian was speechless to hear someone describing himself as a despicable and shameless individual. There was truly no way to deal with him in terms of morality. Fortunately, Yang Dingtian was prepared and had predicted Poison Hands Devil to be so shameless. After taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian asked, Has Senior heard of the Deep Sea Mystic Poison? Poison Hands Devil spoke in a sharp voice, Deep Sea Mystic Poison? The worlds rarest poison, the Naga Races ultimate life-saving item that is formed from the Naga Races blood essence and mystic qi. How can I not know it? Yang Dingtian asked, Then, do you wish to see this poison and possess just a few drops of it? Yes, of course I want to. I will wish for it in my dreams and even in my death. Poison Hands Devils sharp voice trembled. It was needless to say that the Deep Sea Mystic Poison was an irresistible temptation for him. If the Soul Devour Mystic Qi was enough for him to go crazy, then the Deep Sea Mystic Poison would cause him to go violently insane. Compared to the Soul Devour Mystic Qi, the Deep Sea Mystic Poison was the truly rare poison and was the rarest poison in the world. Shortly after, Poison Hands Devil gradually calmed down and said, You are lying to me. The Deep Sea Mystic Poison is the Naga Races ultimate life-saving item. For the past millennium, no one has ever seen the true Naga Race. Obtaining the Deep Sea Mystic Poison is nothing but a dream! Hence, if you want to scam me, you better get something else. If you want to scam me with the Deep Sea Mystic Poison, I will rather believe in ghosts. Yang Dingtian raised the strange blade in his hands and asked with a cold voice, Senior. Do you know what this artifact sword in my hands is? Do you know what one of the demon cores in my sword hilt is? Poison Hands Devil asked, What has that got to do with the Deep Sea Mystic Poison? My sword is fused with the talon of the Night Owl, and one of the demon cores on the sword hilt is precisely the demon core of the Thousand Years Night Owl. I was an Initiate back then, and I relied on the Deep Sea Mystic Poison to kill the Thousand Years Night Owl. Otherwise, even if there were ten thousand or a billion of me, I would never have been able to kill the Thousand Years Night Owl, Yang Dingtian said. You killed the Thousand Years Night Owl? The Thousand Years Night Owl in Terror Manor was killed by you? How can that be possible? Impossible? Poison Hands Devil was appalled. Yang Dingtian was surprised as well. The Thousand Years Night Owl was the top secret of the Terror Manor. How did Poison Hands Devil know about it? Senior. Cant you see that the shape of this strange blade is similar to the talon of the Thousand Years Night Owl? The Thousand Years Night Owls demon core is very unique. The others might not recognize it, but it is impossible for Senior to not recognize it right? Yang Dingtian immediately took off the decorations around the Thousand Years Night Owls demon core. Yang Dingtian didnt know how Poison Hands Devil was able to see from below the quagmire, but he was able to see it after all. Yang Dingtian could hear Poison Hands Devil gasping for air as he muttered to himself, It really is the Thousand Years Night Owl. If I was able to defeat it, I would have wanted the Thousand Years Night Owl for myself. With your cultivation, ten thousand of you wouldnt even be able to harm a feather on that Thousand Years Night Owl. Do you truly possess the Deep Sea Mystic Poison? As he was finishing his sentence, Poison Hands Devils voice was shivering. I never say false words, Yang Dingtian replied slowly. Alright then. I agree with the exchange. Toss the Deep Sea Mystic Poison over, and I will hand you the Poison Devil Snake immediately, Poison Hands Devil proposed. You have broken your promise earlier. I will not trust you again. So, you will hand the Poison Devil Snake over to me before I give you the Deep Sea Mystic Poison, Yang Dingtian replied. Hurhur, are you treating me as a three-year-old child? What should I do if you dont give me the Deep Sea Mystic Poison after I give you the snake? Poison Hands Devil mused. Yang Dingtian laughed grimly with disdain. I might not have great cultivation, but I always fulfill my promises and do what I say. Something like breaking a promise is something that I would rather die than do. Yang Dingtian maintained a very prideful attitude while Poison Hands Devil sank into silence. Yang Dingtian then continued, Moreover, if I go back on my words, Senior can kill me with poison effortlessly right? Okay. I agree with your proposal, Poison Hands Devil said. Afterward, a snow-white box flew out from within the quagmire. Yang Dingtian reached out to grab it, and he instantly felt an icy cold that chilled the bone. It was a box that was sculpted with the mystic ice cold jade. After opening the box, there was indeed a small snake within it, which was as thick as a chopstick. It was glistening with a dark green color and looked very adorable, but it was the overlord of all poisonous creatures. It doesnt eat anything except poisonous substances. The more toxic the poison, the more it loves it. With it, the Deep Sea Mystic Poison in Ningnings body could be completely sucked out. You better close the box quickly. Poison Hands Devil advised, Or else, once it awakens, it will be troublesome if you have no poison to feed it. It will immediately kill you in a single bite. Seeing the beautiful small snake beginning to wriggle slightly as though it was about to awaken, Yang Dingtian quickly closed the mystic ice cold jade box and placed it into his belongings. Now. It is your turn to fulfill your promise, Poison Hands Devil spoke indifferently with a tone that was filled with fatal threat. Yang Dingtian took out a jade bottle and tossed it into the quagmire. Senior, the Deep Sea Mystic Poison is in it. Even though it might not even be one ten-thousandth of it, it is still a lethal poison. Do not even take a whiff of it. Be careful, senior. You are indeed a trustworthy individual, Poison Hands Devil commented. Afterward, that jade bottle was directly swallowed by the quagmire. A few minutes later, Poison Hands Devil suddenly let out a high-pitched and excited scream. It was so emotional that it was trembling. Rare poison, rare poison. It is indeed the rarest poison in the world... Soon, Poison Hands Devil actually cried. He was wailing under the quagmire. His cries were similar to the Night Owls screech, which was truly ear-piercing. After crying, he began to laugh loudly. Deep Sea Mystic Poison, Deep Sea Mystic Poison. Never would I have expected to see the Deep Sea Mystic Poison in my lifetime. Even if I die now, I can die without any regrets. Haha, Haha... After seeing Poison Hands Devil going insane, Yang Dingtian involuntarily felt a sense of sympathy. He then held onto the last trace of hope and asked, Senior, I am going to casually ask a question. See if you are willing to answer or not. Ask then, ask away... Poison Hands Devil said, After you finish asking, then quickly go. Do not hold me back from enjoying the worlds rarest poison. Is there no other way for me to enter the Blood Pool to cultivate? Yang Dingtian asked. For an instant, Poison Hands Devil fell into a deep silence in the quagmire before he replied, Lad, I never talked in a serious manner before, but I shall give you a piece of proper advice. Go back and dont go to the Temple of Blood. I do not know what happened to you, and I do not know about the consequences, but if you endure it, it will be fine. If you go to the Temple of Blood, your life will be over... Which means to say, there is basically no one who could enter the Blood Pool to cultivate in this world? Yang Dingtian asked. Unless you kill Dugu Xiao and take the Temple of Blood for yourself. Or if you take Dugu Fengwu as your woman. Otherwise, you can only achieve it in your dreams. Poison Hands Devil laughed. Of these two conditions, neither one was possible. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and saluted. Senior Ouyang. This junior shall take his leave. Please take care. Go on then. Burn an incense stick on my behalf at your masters tomb. Poison Hands Devil said, I am very grateful that you gave me the Deep Sea Mystic Poison during the last few days of my life. I am able to die without any regrets now. Yang Dingtian was stunned for a moment. Did Poison Hands Devil only have a few days of life left? But this was also normal. It had been more than ten years since he suffered such miserable torment. Because he was a knowledgable individual, he was able to take back over ten years of life from heaven. Take care. Yang Dingtian bowed deeply again. He then prepared to turn and leave. Right at this moment, the distant sky suddenly lit up like a blaze, which immediately tore apart the darkness in the night sky. Afterward, there was this loud ear-piercing screech, which nearly ruptured Yang Dingtians eardrums. It was a giant, fiery-red bat, which approached from the distance. It took just the blink of an eye to arrive in the sky above Yang Dingtian with a flash of its giant flesh wings. This bat had blood-red eyes and looked sinister. When it extended its wings, it was several meters wide. Its body was red like blood or a blazing flame. As it flapped its wings in the night sky, it was like a devil that had arisen from hell. As it flickered its giant wings, the ground swirled up with a burning hot gale, which blew so hard that Yang Dingtian couldnt open his eyes. What are you waiting foolishly for? Hurry up and run! Poison Hands Devil Ouyang Luns voice trembled. His voice was filled with endless fear. Poison Hands Devil was such an evil person, but he was actually so fearful at this moment. It was apparent how formidable and terrifying this individual was. Poison Corpse, time is up. Are you able to neutralize the poison in my sisters body? From the giant bat, there was this voice that was incomparably sexy and enticing. Dugu Fengwu! Princess of the Temple of Blood, the Evil Daos no.1 demon woman, Dugu Fengwu. Yang Dingtian finally saw her again, which instantly caused his entire body to freeze. Lady Dugu, your sisters body wasnt inflicted with any poison. Please forgive me for I am powerless. Poison Hands Devil gradually calmed down and spoke, I can even say that no one in the world can cure her ailment. She can only live as the days go by. Ahh... Dugu Fengwu let out an angry scream that was filled with sorrow. What about the people from Sea of Hades? Can they treat her? Dugu Fengwu asked. I said it earlier. Lady Aoshuang isnt inflicted with poison and isnt injured. No one in the world can treat her, Poison Hands Devil explained. Dugu Fengwu spoke wrathfully, Since you cannot save my sister, then what do I need you for? You shall die! Poison Hands Devil remained silent for a moment before he responded slowly, I can die with no regrets, but that lad on the ground is innocent. Please let him leave. Dugu Fengwu sneered and said, Ouyang Lun, since when did you have the heart of a Bodhisattva? Poison Hands Devil smiled faintly and replied, When a man is going to die, his words are nothing but kindness. Furthermore, this lad had the exact same encounter as me when I was young. But he rose to the occasion whereas I chose to fall from grace. I have always regretted my choice. Immediately after, Poison Hands Devil looked towards Yang Dingtian and said, Lad, when I was young, my clans financial circumstances suffered a huge blow. Hence, my fiancee rejected the betrothal. I suffered the greatest humiliation and nearly lost my life. But, I picked the route of corruption and darkness. I became Poison Hands Devil Corpse and eliminated my fiancee and her entire clan with poison. But after all the killings, I didnt get any kind of pleasurable sensation and only felt more pain. Hence, the path you have chosen is the correct one. Despite how difficult it is, you have to continue on this path. Many thanks, senior, Yang Dingtian bowed and gave his thanks. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian turned to look at Dugu Fengwu who was in the air and said, Lady Dugu, Senior Ouyang doesnt have much time to live. Thus, I beg you to spare his life and let him pass on naturally. Is it okay...? Bang... Before Yang Dingtian could finish his sentence, Dugu Fengwu suddenly drew her sharp sword and slashed towards the quagmire. There was a loud sound as a sword light over a thousand feet long slashed down. In an instant, the entire quagmire exploded vigorously. A deep crevice a few hundred meters long had been created. All the mud had been instantly evaporated by the sword light. Poison Hands Devil, who was in the quagmire, had been slashed in two. He instantly died without any chance to even let out a scream. At this moment, Yang Dingtian finally saw Poison Hands Devils appearance. He no longer had any appearance of a human as his entire body had swelled up and festered like a wild beast that crawled along the ground. It was an appalling sight. After he was split apart by Dugu Fengwu, the blood that he bled was green in color. Yang Dingtian just stared at the corpse of Poison Hands Devil. Meanwhile, the blood in his body was about to boil. This demon woman! Demon woman! She was actually so vicious and merciless. Poison Hands Devil didnt have much time to live. Before Yang Dingtian could even finish pleading, she simply slashed at him. Demon woman. She was a demon woman who had lost all of her human morals. Right now, Yang Dingtian was truly regretful of why he didnt take the chance to kill this demon woman when she was her weakest state, back at Willow Silk Manor. At this moment, Dugu Fengwu, who was in the sky, looked at Yang Dingtian with indifferent eyes. She frowned with disdain at this ant on the ground who thought of himself so highly that he even wanted to criticize and blame her. Dugu Fengwu then raised her sharp sword and was about to slash at Yang Dingtian. When she, Dugu Fengwu, killed, she would always kill every single person without leaving behind any survivors. When Yang Dingtian felt the murderous intent from Dugu Fengwu, he drew the Night Owl Strange Blade and lifted it above his head. Even if he had to die, he had to provide an all-out resistance! Despite the fact that all resistance would be in vain against the sword of Dugu Fengwu. But even if he was a mantis that was about to block a truck, he still had to do it. S~?a??h the ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Dugu Fengwus sword light, which was over a thousand feet long, slashed down at Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian targeted that astounding sword light and vigorously cleaved at it. Right at this moment, Dugu Fengwus beautiful eyes showed a reaction. She then asked, Are you Yan Nantian? Yang Dingtian got a slight surprise. This was the fake name that he had given to Shuanger, but Dugu Fengwu actually knew of this name. Yang Dingtian nodded and replied, Thats right. I am Yan Nantian. Dugu Fengwu took out a portrait and looked closely at Yang Dingtians face. Of course, Yang Dingtian was currently wearing a human skin mask, but Dugu Fengwu couldnt be bothered. It was actually a joke for Yang Dingtian to worry about his identity being discovered as Dugu Fengwu had already forgotten who he was. It is you, Dugu Fengwu said before her jade hands created a vigorous vacuum force directed at the surface. In an instant, Yang Dingtians body flew up and was directly sucked a hundred meters into the sky. He then landed on the giant back of the Bloodthirsty Bat in front of Dugu Fengwu. It was at this moment that he truly saw Dugu Fengwus figure. She was still wearing a mans clothes and still wore that golden mask. Her body was still giving off that devilish temptation and that devilish killing intent. After capturing Yang Dingtian, Dugu Fengwu shouted out lightly, after which that giant bat immediately flapped its wings and flew away from the Netherworld Swamp. Lady Dugu, where are you bringing me? Yang Dingtian asked. Temple of Blood, Dugu Fengwu replied. Yang Dingtians heart jolted suddenly as he queried, What are we going to the Temple of Blood for? To get married, to be my Temple of Bloods son-in-law, Dugu Fengwu spoke coldly. Chapter 116: Favorable Attention from Dugu Xiao! Chapter 116: Favorable Attention from Dugu Xiao!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Get married? Yang Dingtian asked with a surprised voice, Get married to who? Dont ask so much. You will know naturally when you get married. Dugu Fengwu spoke with impatience, From now on, shut your mouth. Every question you ask will be responded to with a slash on your body. Yang Dingtian was speechless, but he immediately shut his mouth because the words that came out from this demon woman werent just a threat. She would definitely do it. But the strange thing was, the Bloodthirsty Bat didnt fly towards the Temple of Blood in the north. Instead, it flew towards the Land of Chaos in the south. Despite the doubts in his heart, Yang Dingtian didnt ask any questions since this Bloodthirsty Bat was flying at rapid speed. In less than three hours, the Bloodthirsty Bat had flown more than 1000 kilometers, back to the town where Yang Dingtian first met Shuanger. Yang Dingtians heart jolted as he realized what Dugu Fengwu was about to do. She controlled the Bloodthirsty Bat and descended until there were only several meters between the bat and the surface. The people in the town below looked up with surprised expressions. But soon enough, Dugu Fengwu suddenly drew her longsword and began to slash at those people on the surface. The sword light that was several feet long ruthlessly slashed at the surface. Bang... There was a loud sound as dozens of people were immediately turned into dust. A giant and deep crevice that was a hundred meters long split open on the ground. For an instant, the entire town had fallen into a dead silence. Ahh... Afterward, numerous individuals began to scream with fear as they desperately tried to escape. Dugu Fengwu looked at the people below with icy cold eyes. She steered the Bloodthirsty Bat and flew to every corner of the town, slashing with her sharp sword in a frenzy. In this instance, countless sword lights were slashing at every part of the surface and every group of people. The entire town was instantly turned into a hell of asura. Whenever a sword light slashed down, a large house would be ruined. Large trees would be charred. Solid stone pavements would be cracked. Countless people who tried to escape were all instantly turned into smithereens as their fresh blood splattered in all directions. In just a few short minutes, there was no longer any man or horse left alive in the entire town. Every single human in the town was wiped out by Dugu Fengwu. The town that was a few square kilometers in size had been turned into ruins. Dugu Fengwu destroyed an entire town by herself in mere minutes. Yang Dingtian knew why Dugu Fengwu did this. It was because Shuanger had been bullied in this town. Dugu Fengwu was exacting justice for Shuanger by coming back here and eradicating the entire town. Yang Dingtian was trembling with anger as he turned around to shout, You are crazy! Those scoundrels that bullied Shuanger had been killed by me. Those people below might not be kind people, but they were innocent regarding Shuangers matter. Shut up! Dugu Fengwu spoke coldly, Say another word and I will slice off your tongue. After killing the entire town, Dugu Fengwu controlled the Bloodthirsty bat and flew north. Two hours later, they flew over the Netherworld Swamp and continued to fly north. ... The Temple of Blood was over 1500 kilometers away from the Netherworld Swamp. After crossing the Netherworld Swamp, it would be considered the territories of the Evil Dao. But the first 1000 kilometers were filled with nearly nothing but ruins. There were no signs of people inhabiting the place as all the ruins seemed ancient and were filled with weeds. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but reveal an astonished expression. During that battle over two centuries ago, the people on our side were nearly wiped out, and we have yet to fully recover. Dugu Fengwu spoke indifferently, But there will be a day when we will take back this debt of blood. We will wipe out everyone in the Heaven Dao Union. Dugu Fengwus body was emitting killing aura that caused Yang Dingtian to feel a stinging sensation. Such deteriorated ruins extended for nearly 1000 kilometers. But after crossing a giant black-colored mountain range, everything completely changed. Yang Dingtian could see clusters of buildings and people who were bustling with activities. Everything was filled with peace and order. S~?a??h the N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. With a quick glance, one could actually see no difference from the territories of the Heaven Dao Union. There were people practicing martial arts. There were people cutting wood. There were people mining. In short, there werent any massacres or plundering. Compared to the Land of Chaos, this place was paradise. This place was still 500 kilometers away from the Temple of Blood. It should be in the Temple of Bloods territories, which belong to the Evil Dao. But from the looks of it, there was truly no difference compared to the territories of the Heaven Dao Union. Over the next hour, the Bloodthirsty Bat flew over 500 kilometers of prosperous and peaceful lands. They were now 150 kilometers away from the Temple of Blood. There was an extremely spacious river up ahead. Even though Yang Dingtian was in the sky, he still couldnt see the bank on the other side. The color of the river was bright red like blood, and there was a blood-red mist that hovered over the waters. This was Rapture River. It was 150 kilometers wide and thousands of kilometers long. The river was blood red in color. If someone fell into it, they would basically vanish without a corpse. The Temple of Blood was on the other side of Rapture River. This Rapture River that was over 150 kilometers in wide formed a natural barrier. It was the reason the Heaven Dao Union couldnt exterminate the Evil Dao even though it achieved a great victory. It was simply because of this natural, impregnable moat. The Bloodthirsty Bat flew for nearly twenty minutes just to cross Rapture River. Finally, an incomparably gigantic stone mountain was in sight. Mt. Ten Thousand Blood was towering right above Rapture River. The highest part of the mountain was 20,000 meters high. The mountain range extended for nearly 500 kilometers. The Temple of Blood was constructed on the highest peak of Mt. Ten Thousand Blood. The entire Mt. Ten Thousand Blood was a giant stone mountain without any soil or vegetation. Countless buildings of the Temple of Blood was located within this stone mountain. The Bloodthirsty Bat that was carrying two individuals flew over the 20,000-meter-tall Mt. Ten Thousand Blood and emerged on the other side of the mountain. Yang Dingtian witnessed the most magnificent scenery. The surface of the stone mountain was filled with caverns and countless pavilions, which were constructed in between the crevices of the stone mountain. The buildings of the Temple of Blood was done with uncanny workmanship. Even with the technologies available on Earth would be unable to complete such a tremendous engineering project. The Bloodthirsty Bat landed on a giant platform. Dugu Fengwu grabbed Yang Dingtian and jumped off the bat. She then immediately walked into a long tunnel, arriving in a simple and crude cavern. Dugu Fengwu threw Yang Dingtian into the stone cavern and spoke coldly, You shall wait here and get married tonight. ***** The entire cavern was very crude, and there were only a stone bed and a few stone chairs. As Yang Dingtian sat on the stone bed, he naturally knew who Dugu Fengwu was going to force him to marry. It was that Shuanger who Yang Dingtian had saved earlier. Her name should be Dugu Aoshuang, and she was the younger twin sister of Dugu Fengwu. Because heaven gave Dugu Fengwu absolute beauty and talent, in order to achieve a balance, Dugu Aoshuang was stuck with misfortune. She had the absolute figure and eyes, but her skin was filled with terrifying scales. Heaven allowed Dugu Fengwu to be formidable with martial prowess but made Dugu Aoshuang extremely weak. Heaven made Dugu Fengwu proud and vicious but made Dugu Aoshuang lack self-esteem and wickedness. The Creator seemed to have given all his love to Dugu Fengwu and gave all of the misfortune to Dugu Aoshuang. This was why Dugu Fengwu treated the world with icy-cold ruthlessness but treated her younger sister, Dugu Aoshuang, with tender affection and guilt. Now, there was a difficult dilemma that was placed in front of Yang Dingtian. Did he have to get married to Dugu Aoshuang? If he didnt? Not only would he be unable to cultivate in the Blood Pool, but he was also definitely going to die. If he did? He might be able to make use of Dugu Aoshuang and enter the Blood Pool to cultivate, but that would be cheating Dugu Aoshuang. How could Yang Dingtian bear to do that to such a pure and pitiful girl? After spending several hours, Yang Dingtians heart was still in a deep struggle, and he couldnt make a decision. During these several hours, Dugu Fengwu didnt appear a second time, and no one else entered the stone room either. It was as though Yang Dingtian had been forgotten in this place. It would be dusk soon! After dusk fell, the wedding would begin. At this moment, Yang Dingtian made a choice. In order to save Yanyan and kill Qin Shaobai, he was willing to go through a wedding with Dugu Aoshuang and use the opportunity to cultivate in the Blood Pool. He would then find a method to escape from the Temple of Blood. At this moment, the door of the stone room suddenly opened, showing the complete darkness outside. I heard that my daughter, Dugu Aoshuang, likes you a lot. A voice that was very penetrative echoed in his hears. A tall and straight figure walked in from the darkness. This person was around the height of 1.9 meters. He had long brows, a red face, a wide nose, and thick lips. His long slanting eyes were radiating a blinding light, and his age was similar to that of Dongfang Niemie and Ximen Wuya. He wasnt handsome, but he gave off a threatening and tyrannical qi presence, which couldnt be concealed even with his refined clothes. This person should be the Master of the Temple of Blood, Dugu Xiao. He was the Great Devil Dugu Xiao, Grandmaster Class expert, one of the leading figures of the Evil Dao and one of the strongest individuals in the world. Yang Dingtian stood up from the stone bed and bowed respectfully as he greeted, Yan Nantian pays his respects to Senior. En..., Dugu Xiao immediately sat down on a stone chair and responded indifferently. Are you willing to marry my daughter? I am willing, Yang Dingtian replied with his head lowered. She has a frightening appearance. Dont you mind it? Dugu Xiao asked directly. I dont think Shuangers appearance is frightening. It is actually a special kind of beauty, Yang Dingtian responded. Dugu Xiao stood up and walked over to Yang Dingtian. He lightly placed his palms on Yang Dingtians head and asked, Tell me your true motive, Yang Dingtian. You only have one chance to talk. If your answer doesnt satisfy me, I will kill you. Yang Dingtians body suddenly shook. Why was he still recognized after he disguised himself as Yan Nantian? I can smell your Meridians of Pure Yang from several feet away. Dugu Xiao spoke indifferently, Say it. What is your objective at the Temple of Blood? You only have one chance to answer. In this instant, Yang Dingtian felt his body encased in ice and his entire body turn icy-cold. The illumination from the grim reaper was enveloping his body. If his answer didnt satisfy the Great Devil, then he was certainly dead. I want to cultivate in the Blood Pool, Senior Dugu, Yang Dingtian said the truth. You want to break through in the Blood Pool, kill Qin Shaobai, and rescue Ximen Yanyan? Dugu Xiao asked. Yang Dingtian was astonished. If Dugu Xiao knew everything, why did he even ask? If he had said even half a sentence of lies, he would probably be a corpse right now. It is as such. I plea Senior to do me a favor and allow me to cultivate in the Blood Pool, Yang Dingtian asked. For what reason? The majority of the temples disciples dont even have the chance to cultivate in the Blood Pool. Why should I allow an outsider like you to enter? Dugu Xiao asked the question indifferently. Yang Dingtian gritted his teeth and replied, Because, I once saved your daughter, Dugu Aoshuangs life. I think this favor is sufficient for me to enter the Blood Pool once. Dugu Aoshuang? I dont like this daughter. What does it matter if you save her? Dugu Xiao said apathetically, It would be more appropriate if you saved Dugu Fengwu. Yang Dingtian was immediately astonished to see how cold-hearted Dugu Xiao was. Dugu Aoshuang was still his blood daughter, and he totally disregarded her life and death. Yang Dingtian felt this sneer in his heart. Dugu Xiao then looked at Yang Dingtian and said, Yang Dingtian, it is possible for you to enter the Blood Pool and cultivate. But, you have to promise me one condition. Would Senior please state the condition? Yang Dingtian asked. The condition is to get married to Dugu Aoshuang and be the son-in-law of my Temple of Blood, Dugu Xiao stated. Yang Dingtian was slightly surprised. Was there any difference? Yang Dingtian already agreed to get married to Dugu Aoshuang earlier, but he merely agreed on his identity as Yan Nantian. Dongfang Niemie had high regard for you. Ximen Wuya had high regard for you, but Dongfang Bingling disregarded you. Do you know why? Dugu Xiao explained, Because Dongfang Niemie and Ximen Wuya were Grandmaster Class experts, but Dongfang Bingling isnt. Dugu Xiao continued, I am also a Grandmaster Class expert. Hence, I similarly have high regard for you. You might not know about this, but your Meridians of Pure Yang that only appears once every millennium are unfathomable and are a huge temptation for people like us. Hence, if you agree to be my son-in-law, let alone cultivating once in the Blood Pool, you can enter ten times or even a hundred times. Dugu Xiao then said, Furthermore, after you become my son-in-law, if Dugu Aoshuang were to die soon, I can betroth my other daughter, Dugu Fengwu, to you if your cultivation surpasses hers in the future. If your cultivation is at the pinnacle, then I can even give you the Temple Master position for the Temple of Blood. How about it? Yang Dingtian was speechless from astonishment. Make a choice now. You can either become my son-in-law, severing the ties with the Heaven Dao Union and becoming a member of the Evil Dao, Dugu Xiao then said indifferently, Or you can die now. I will not allow a person with supreme talent to stay in the Heaven Dao Union. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and looked at Dugu Xiaos palm, which was on top of his head. If he was to say no, Dugu Xiao would immediately slam his palm down. Alright, I am willing. Yang Dingtian replied, I am willing to become your son-in-law! Thats right, Yang Dingtian accepted his condition because, in the face of a Great Devil, there was no point in making promises or behaving nobly. It would just be foolish, and Yang Dingtian wasnt so pedantic. Dugu Xiao glanced at Yang Dingtian dully and said, Very well, then begin the preparations for the wedding! Chapter 117: Battle of Spirit! Wedding Ceremony! Chapter 117: Battle of Spirit! Wedding Ceremony!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Afterward, Dugu Xiao said, You just rest here in peace for this period of time. You will officially marry after a dozen or so days. Dozen or so days? Yang Dingtian was utterly stupefied. His battle with Qin Shaobai was in six days, and Dugu Xiao actually said to get married in a dozen or so days? It meant that everything would be too late, and everything would be done for. Subsequently, Dugu Xiao spoke in a gentle voice, Of course, I am personally willing to believe you, but just in case you are actually just marrying my daughter in pretense to enter the Blood Pool by using her. If you are to find an opportunity to escape the Temple of Blood later on, wouldnt I be a giant laughingstock? So, we will wait for ten days after the situation in Cloud Heaven City is completely finished before you marry Aoshuang. This will benefit both sides. Dugu Xiao then stood up and said while he walked outside, During these ten days, you will stay in this stone room and wait for your wedding. After Dugu Xiao left, the thick doors of the stone room were shut tightly. Ahh... Yang Dingtian let out an angry yell as he punched on the stone wall, instantly turning his fist into a dripping wet fist of blood, bursting a piece of the stone wall. This damned Dugu Xiao, this damned Great Devil. He was actually so cunning that there was no chance of tricking him. After he released his anger, Yang Dingtian regained his composure. He was definitely not going to resign to this fate. He was going to find a way out. Thus, Yang Dingtian began to observe this stone room. The walls itself were the stone mountain and were extremely thick, making it impossible to bore a hole through it. The door was made of metal, which might be cuttable with his Night Owl Strange Blade, but there were definitely guards on the outside who had stronger cultivations than himself. Yang Dingtian racked his brains, trying to think of a way to escape when all of a sudden, the stone room was filled with something odorless and colorless. Yang Dingtian felt something was wrong and immediately held his breath, but it was useless as this drug gas permeated through his skin. Yang Dingtians head began to feel murky and dizzy while his eyes began to blur and his steps started to wobble. Yang Dingtian used all of his mystic qi and willpower to resist this drug but still fainted. ... Yang Dingtian didnt know how long he was unconscious for, but when he regained his senses, he was incredibly hunger and very thirsty. He must have been unconscious for more than twelve hours. After he woke up, a small hole would open up in the door while a serving of meal and drinks was pushed in. It was rather sumptuous, and there was even some wine. Yang Dingtians stomach was rumbling with hunger. He immediately gobbled up all the food and drinks. Just as he finished eating, another cloud of odorless and colorless drug mist was released in the room. Yang Dingtian went unconscious again. Just like that, Dugu Xiao shut Yang Dingtian in the stone prison without showing any form of concern. But, he would deliver three meals on a daily basis. Once Yang Dingtian finished the meal, gas would be released in the stone room, which would instantly send Yang Dingtian into a drowsy state. Just like this, Yang Dingtian would eat and sleep, sleep and eat. No one would bother him. No one would pay attention to him. Three meals were equivalent to one day! One day had passed. Two days had passed. Three days had passed. ... Yang Dingtian thought of all different methods, but there was no way to escape from this stone cave. Because he didnt have any way to resist that mysterious drug. Yang Dingtian was truly going insane. He had suffered all sorts of pain since he came into this world, but he had never experienced such terrifying torture. This Dugu Xiao was truly a devil. He didnt torture you physically first. Instead, he tortured your mind and your spirit first. Yang Dingtian was about to go crazy because the day of the duel with Qin Shaobai was about to arrive. He had used all his strength to shove against the stone door, but he only managed to damage and coat his limbs with blood instead, causing severe injuries. ... Finally, six days had passed! During these six days, no one came to see Yang Dingtian. No one talked to him. Every single meal was pushed in from the small hole at the door. The day of the duel with Qin Shaobai had passed, and Yang Dingtian didnt appear. Qin Shaobai and his group were extremely pleased while Ximen Yanyan, Ximen Ningning, Madam Ximen, Ximen Lie, and the others were utterly disappointed. Right now, the entire northwest continent must be spreading the news of how timid, cowardly, shameless, and despicable Yang Dingtian was. Yang Dingtian relied on despicable methods to rape Madam Ximen. The rumor of him using the Yin Yang Devour Mystic Ritual must have been deemed as the truth. Yang Dingtian and Madam Ximen would be completely nailed on the pillar of humiliation. On the sixth day, the stone door finally opened, and a figure walked in. Yang Dingtian, who was originally lying on the ground, immediately stood up. The person who came in was Dugu Xiao, the Evil Daos Great Devil. Six days have passed. The duel between you and Qin Shaobai has passed. You should understand how severe the consequences were because you didnt appear. Dugu Xiao said, Dont worry. My spies in the Cloud Heaven City will report back to me with detailed information soon. In a few days, you will know exactly what happened in Cloud Heaven City. Yang Dingtian remained silent. It seems like the torment isnt enough. Dugu Xiao said, You didnt kneel down to beg me. You didnt weep with bitter tears. It seems your willpower is indeed very resilient. Yang Dingtian maintained his silence. Do you want to go out? Dugu Xiao said. Yes, Yang Dingtian replied. Do you want to go out of the stone cave or leave the Temple of Blood and return to Cloud Heaven City? Dugu Xiao questioned. Leave the Temple of Blood and return to Cloud Heaven City, Yang Dingtian replied. But, you are already in disgrace in Cloud Heaven City. There is no place for you to make a stand there. What will you do? Dugu Xiao asked. Yang Dingtian responded, That is my own problem. I will give you an option. Promise me and I will let you go, Dugu Xiao stated. Please say it, Yang Dingtian said. Accept me as your master and become a member of the Temple of Blood. I will do my best to nurture you. How about it? Dugu Xiao said, As long as you make the vow to break off all relations with Ximen Wuya, I will let you out. Yang Dingtian sneered and didnt reply. Since his ploy had been exposed by Dugu Xiao, he didnt have to act anymore. Okay. It seems like your pitiful willpower is still holding strong. I have to lock you up for a few more days. Dugu Xiao said, I will come back in three days and bring you news of Cloud Heaven City. Finishing his statement, Dugu Xiao walked out and shut the stone door. Yang Dingtian knew that his battle against Dugu Xiao had started. This wasnt a battle of martial prowess. It was a battle of spirit and willpower. Whoever compromised first would be the loser. Of course, Dugu Xiao could kill him at any time, but if he did end up killing him, then it would be his loss. ... In the next few days, Yang Dingtian returned back to his previous schedule. He would eat and sleep, sleep and eat again. Despite the fact that he didnt want to sleep, once that tyrannical gas was released, it would be absorbed through his skin, putting him to sleep immediately, sinking him into a deep dream. But even in his dreams, he would constantly have endless nightmares as he dreamed of Ximen Yanyan, Madam Ximen, and Ximen Ningning. Each dream was scarier than the previous one. One day... Two days... Three days... Finally, three days passed. On this day, Yang Dingtian struggled to stay awake while waiting for Dugu Xiao to come in. He was waiting for Dugo Xiao to inform him about the situation in Cloud Heaven City. But, Dugu Xiao didnt come this day. Another day had passed. Two days... Yang Dingtian didnt know how many days had passed by. He would just sleep and eat every single day. His nightmares were getting worse, and each one would be much more severe than the previous one. But Yang Dingtian still didnt know what happened in Cloud Heaven City. He didnt know what happened to the people he cared about. Thats right, Dugu Xiao was a demon. He was tormenting Yang Dingtian. He obviously knew about the situation in Cloud Heaven City, but he didnt want to inform Yang Dingtian. It was like a criminal who knew he would be put on death row and yet felt as though there might be some hope. But the judge didnt want to announce the verdict and suspended the criminal day by day, tormenting him. As the days passed, Yang Dingtian ate countless meals, slept countless times, and had countless dreams. He really didnt know how many days had passed. Creak... Finally, the stone door opened again. Once again, Dugu Xiao walked in. Yang Dingtian struggled to stand up powerlessly. Right now, he had lost over five kilograms, and his body was covered in filth. His beard was two inches long, and he had lost count of the number of days that passed. Apologies, I have forgotten you for a moment. I mentioned I would come in three days, but I didnt expect to only see you after ten days. You have been in the Temple of Blood for more than two weeks now... Dugu Xiao sat in front of Yang Dingtian and asked, Do you want to know what happened to Cloud Heaven City? Do you wish to know what happened to Ximen Yanyan? Yang Dingtian nodded his head powerlessly. Dugu Xiao smiled and said, You didnt appear on the day of the duel. Ximen Yanyan was judged as guilty. Cloud Heaven City is done for. Ximen Yanyan is done for. Madam Ximen is done for. Ximen Lie is done for. Ximen Ningning is done for. You have become a disgrace to the world. Madam Ximen was nailed onto the pillar of humiliation. Yang Dingtian was immobilized as though he was struck by lightning. You wouldnt believe me if I told you about their fate. Thus, I caught someone that you are familiar with so that you will believe it, Dugu Xiao said. He gently clapped his hands. Immediately, a green and delicate shadow rushed in. It was actually Ler, Yanyans personal servant girl, Ler. When Ler saw Yang Dingtian, she ran over in a frenzy and used her razor-sharp nails to scratch at Yang Dingtians face. She mercilessly scratched ten bloody wounds as she shouted in a severe voice, Yang Dingtian, you bastard, you bastard! On the day of the duel, why didnt you appear? Why didnt you appear!? Yang Dingtian vigorously hugged Lers body. Lers entire body was icy cold, and her frail body was shivering. He lifted her face, only to see how haggard and weak she was, as though she had experienced countless torments. Ler, how is Yanyan? How is Sister Ningning? How is Brother Ximen Lie? How is Madam? Yang Dingtian asked with a trembling voice. How else could it be? How else could it be? Ler cried and said, In order to save Young Lady, Ximen Lie led the Black Blood Cavalry to attack the city. But due to the rumors and scandals about you and Madam, the Black Blood Cavalrys morale was very low, and they suffered a great loss. Young Master Ximen Lie suffered injuries and escaped. Young Lady Ningning summoned ten thousand beasts to attack the city but exhausted all of her mystic qi and fell off of the Floating Spirit Ray. The ten thousand beasts turned into an uncontrolled stampede, and her figure was nowhere to be seen. There was only a shattered dress left behind. Young Lady was originally going to commit suicide, but Qin Shaobai threatened her with Madams life. She was then forced to marry that bastard Qin Shaobai, and the wedding will be held in one month. Madam has been shamed, and her reputation was ruined and was about to commit suicide, but Qin Shaobai threatened her with Young Ladys life. She is now being locked up in prison. Ahh... Yang Dingtian clenched down on his teeth so much that blood flowed out. He let out a violent roar and spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood before fainting. After Dugu Xiao poured in his mystic qi, Yang Dingtian quickly came back to his senses. Dugu Xiao asked, Yang Dingtian. Do you want to go out? Do you want to regain freedom? Do you wish for revenge? Yang Dingtian nodded. Okay. Promise me on one condition and I will let you out. I will make you incomparably formidable. I will allow you to kill Qin Shaobai, to kill Qin Huaiyu, to eradicate the Northwest Qin Clan, to kill Yang Yan, to eliminate all your enemies. You will be able to defeat Dongfang Bingling, and you will be able to use the Blood Pool whenever you want. My Temple of Blood will do everything we can to nurture you. Dugu Xiao said, You just have to promise me a single thing, which is to become my, Dugu Xiaos, son-in-law. Yang Dingtian had lost all his senses. He just nodded and replied, I promise. I promise anything. This signifies that you are a member of the Evil Dao and has completely severed all ties with the Heaven Dao Union and Ximen Wuya. Severed all relations with Dongfang Niemie, Dugu Xiao said in a cold voice. Yang Dingtian nodded with a stupefied expression like before and said, I accept, I accept everything. Ler who was by the side, spoke in a fury, Yang Dingtian. You bastard, you bastard, Young Lady must have been blind! Afterward, she rushed over and used her nails to scratch at Yang Dingtians face. Dugu Xiao grabbed Ler and said to Yang Dingtian, Very well. In order to express your resolution, submit your proof of loyalty. Proof of loyalty? What proof of loyalty? Yang Dingtian asked. Dugu Xiao drew a sword and handed it to Yang Dingtian. This woman in front of you is Ximen Yanyans personal servant girl. You will kill her and express your resolution to sever all relations between you and the Heaven Dao Union. Ahh..., Ler exclaimed immediately. What? Yang Dingtian was instantly stunned. Dugu Xiao said, If you dont kill her, it means that your determination to sever all relations with the Heaven Dao Union isnt strong enough. I will not nurture a wolf that may betray me at any moment. So, if you do not kill her, you shall die! Yang Dingtian received the sword. His hands started to shiver, and his face was beginning to turn pale while his eyes surged with a complicated glow. He then raised the sharp sword and suddenly cleaved down at the girl in front of him! Ahh... A miserable scream was accompanied by the splatter of fresh blood. The girl in front of him shattered like ruined jade. Dugu Xiao revealed an evil smile and said, Very good. The wedding ceremony will commence in two hours. Finishing his statement, Dugu Xiao dragged Lers corpse out of the stone room as he revealed an evil and satisfied smile. This battle of spirit with Yang Dingtian was his victory! When he subdued any talented individual, he would first completely torment them, which started from the spirit and willpower. A tormented talent would be completely fearful and compliant, just like a tamed goshawk. Hurhur. What resilient willpower? What tough spirit? He is still just an ant, Duguo Xiao sneered. ... After Dugu Xiao left, Yang Dingtian suddenly opened his eyes, which didnt have the expressions of despair and daze anymore. It was cool and filled with a sneer. Master, how long has it been since I was locked in this stone room? Yang Dingtian asked in his heart. According to the time on your Earth, it has been 72 hours, Dongfang Niemie replied. 72 hours? It obviously felt like 18 days. Why was it only three days? Thats right, itd been only 72 hours. The Temple of Blood used a type of evil art and drug that caused immediate drowsiness after consumption. The victim would enter a long dream state, making it feel as though they were asleep for seven to eight hours but was, in fact, just a little more than one hour. Within this one hour period, they would use their mystic qi to digest the food that Yang Dingtian consumed, making him feel starved after he woke up. Hence, he would have to eat again. Just like this, he ate and slept, slept and ate. Three meals were equivalent to one day, and with this method of calculation, it felt as though two weeks had passed when only three days had actually gone by. s?a??h th? N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Moreover, during these three days, Yang Dingtian spent most of the time sleeping and was in different dream states. When a person went into a dream, a few minutes would actually feel like a few hours. Hence, during the three days of sleep, Yang Dingtian felt as though he had dreamed for more than half a month. As for his thin body and inches of beard, they were nothing but small tricks done by the Temple of Blood. Dugu Xiao conducted this spirit torture on Yang Dingtian in order to make the latter despair and have him fall into the Evil Daos embrace. Under such evil arts of the Temple of Blood, everyones spirit would crumble, and everyone would surrender. The Temple of Blood used such evil arts on many experts and had never failed. No one could notice it with the exception of Yang Dingtian. Because in his mind was his masters soul spirit. As for the Ler that Yang Dingtian killed, she was, of course, a fake that had undergone a superior art of disguise. Yang Dingtian had survived this battle of spirit. Whats next was how to successfully cultivate in the Blood Pool before escaping the Temple of Blood. Right now, there were still three days before the duel with Qin Shaobai. This was very difficult, but Yang Dingtian had to do it. *** After ten minutes, over a dozen servant girls entered Yang Dingtians stone room and helped him to shower, cut his hair, and change his clothes and makeup. These servant girls all had enchanting figures and were very beautiful. But when these servant girls entered the stone room, they all covered their noses because of the awful smell. These girls revealed expressions of dislike, but they didnt have any malicious intent. Second Young Master, would you please stand up for these servants to help you to rinse up? A young lady wearing a red dress spoke with a delicate voice while slightly frowning. Yang Dingtian pretended to be stupefied and stood up, allowing these girls to strip off all his clothes. Ahh... When Yang Dingtians body was completely bare, the servant girls let out a soft cry. They gasped in surprise at Yang Dingtians asset. Our Second Young Lady is finally married off and to a Young Master who has such a robust asset. She is definitely going to be blessed in the future, a servant girl wearing green clothes spoke delicately. You lusty woman, why dont you go be Second Young Ladys servant girl so you can share...? the servant girl with the red dress teased. You are the one who wants to share this retard. Open up your skirt. I want to see if your little hoof is wet? The servant girl in green dress retorted and actually lifted the skirt of that servant girl in the red dress, which instantly revealed her fair and slender legs and the transparent silk panties. That triangle area below her abdomen was covered in this hazy black lump, which was extremely seductive. Ahh... You are so awful... The servant girl in the red dress exclaimed and tore the dress off that servant girl with a green dress, instantly revealing her white and soft breasts. The two girls immediately entered a messy fight as the young ladies broke into two groups and turned it into a chaotic catfight. In just a few moments, most of the girls had their clothes torn off, revealing their soft breasts and jade thighs. Their beautiful legs were in full view, which were seductive and appetizing. There was nothing else more splendid than this scene. Yang Dingtian was the only one who noticed a girl with a purple dress who was staring at Yang Dingtians crotch while these girls were tearing off each others dresses. Of course, she wasnt lusty. She was observing Yang Dingtian to see if he had any reaction. As long as it was a regular man facing such an erotic scene, he would not be able to endure it and would have his flagpole raised. But Yang Dingtian was currently playing the role of an irregular man. A man who had been tormented for half a month, a man whose spirit that had completely crumbled. Hence, no matter what happened in front of him, he wouldnt pay any attention to it. As expected, Yang Dingtian turned a deaf ear to the erotic and sexy situation in front of his eyes. But gradually, his eyes paid some slight attention to the erotic scene and had some slight reaction. The purple dressed girl lowered her head and didnt continue looking at him. She had determined that Yang Dingtian had truly crumbled. Immediately after, Yang Dingtian acted as though he was a wooden puppet that was being pulled around as he was dragged for a shower. His beard was shaved off. His hair was cut, and he was changed into a long, red robe. Finally, he was dragged out by these girls. The groom is here, the groom is here... After making hundreds of turns and thousands of detours, Yang Dingtian wasnt sure how many stone caves and stone tunnels he went through. He realized that the Temple of Blood was completely cut out from within the abdomen of the mountain. It was gigantic, and he truly couldnt fathom how many stone rooms there were. The stone tunnels started off narrow, and the stone rooms along it were all very simple and crude, uninhabited. While it gradually spiraled upwards, the tunnels got increasingly spacious, which was about ten meters in width. The rooms along the tunnels looked more exquisite as well. It was rather crowded on both sides of the tunnel, but Yang Dingtian had to act like a person whose spirit had collapsed and couldnt examine these people carefully. There were plenty of elite experts among these people, and if Yang Dingtian had any hint of defiance in his eyes, he would be quickly exposed. But, Yang Dingtian still heard some voices. The Second Young Lady is finally married off. It isnt easy uh...? Thats right, Second Young Lady finally became a bride before her death. Even though they had the same parents, First Young Lady has the looks of a fairy, but Second Young Lady... Heaven is really too unfair. ... The hour of blessing is approaching. Will the bride and groom take their positions? Suddenly there was a deep and resounding voice. As it turned out, Yang Dingtian had arrived at the apex of the Temple of Blood. The apex of the Temple of Blood was truly a luxurious area that was embedded with jade bricks. There were more than a few dozen buildings and three public squares. All of it was situated within a several-thousand-meter-tall giant crevice at the peak of the mountain. The entire landscape was suspended within the 20,000-meter-tall mountain. Yang Dingtian wasnt able to tell if this giant crevice was a natural formation or manmade. In short, it was truly a divine work of art. 20,000 meters below was the red glistening river. The Temple of Blood was truly easily guarded but hard to attack. Even if an army of one million launched a siege, they wouldnt be able to penetrate the defenses. Compared to Cloud Heaven City, the Temple of Bloods difficulty in construction and degree of wonder was far superior. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian took a rapid glance across the people within the building. It was apparent that all the elite experts from the Temple of Blood were gathered here. But once the lights suddenly extinguished, the entire building was enveloped in a darkness so dark that one couldnt even see ones own fingers. Yang Dingtian obviously knew there were more than a thousand individuals in the grand hall, but he couldnt see them at all. The entire atmosphere instantly became very bizarre. Immediately after, a puff of fragrance blew over. The bride has arrived, a male voice shouted out. Right now, there were 69 hours left before the duel with Qin Shaobai. Chapter 118: Night of Bridal Room! Objective, the Blood Pool! Chapter 118: Night of Bridal Room! Objective, the Blood Pool!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Right now, there were 69 hours left before the duel with Qin Shaobai. Soon enough, someone led Yang Dingtian to the brides side. Yang Dingtian immediately caught a whiff of that familiar and alluring body fragrance. Yang Dingtian had never encountered a place with such darkness where he truly couldnt see anything. He even couldnt see further than half an inch in front of him. In an instant, Yang Dingtians heart was overwhelmed with sympathy. Dugu Aoshuang was so self-abased that she even wanted her wedding ceremony to be held in the pitch-black darkness. She didnt dare to let anyone see her face. The time of blessing has arrived. Will the groom and bride please proceed with the wedding ceremony? Afterward, a red silk cloth was stuffed into Yang Dingtians hand while the other end was placed in the Second Young Ladys, Dugu Aoshuangs hand. Immediately after, a fragrance approached while an icy-cold and extremely moving voice echoed. Remember, treat my sister well. When the sun rises tomorrow and my sister is smiling, you may continue to live. If she isnt smiling, then you are dead. Finishing her threat, the Devil Woman, Dugu Fengwu, moved back, leaving behind a lingering aroma and a threat that had an icy-cold killing aura. First bow to the heaven and earth! Afterward, while his heart was still in a confused state, Yang Dingtian and the Temple of Bloods Second Young Lady, Dugu Aoshuang, worshipped the heaven and earth. Second bow to the main hall! (TL note: Main Hall, in this case, refers to the parents) Mutual bow! Deliver into the bridal room! ... Just like that, Yang Dingtian finished the wedding ceremony and was sent into the bridal room. From start to finish, it took less than three minutes. Yang Dingtian didnt even get to see the relatives and guests. The bridal room was very far. The Temple of Blood was at the front of the giant stone mountain, while Dugu Aoshuangs bridal room was at the back of the mountain. In the entire back of the massive mountain, Dugu Aoshuang was the only person residing there. At this moment, Yang Dingtian felt even more pitiful towards Shuanger. There was no one to disturb the privacy of the bridal room. In this massive back of the mountain, there were only Yang Dingtian and Dugu Aoshuang. It was several kilometers away from the Temple of Blood. (TL note: On the night of the wedding, guests would normally play pranks on the newlyweds) Within the bridal room, it was still pitch-black. Yang Dingtian couldnt see his fingers. Were they going to spend the bridal room night in darkness? You should have heard of my reputation as the female yaksha right? Dugu Aoshuang suddenly spoke coldly, But dont think that by marrying me, you are doing me a great favor. The voice was very familiar to Shuangers voice when Yang Dingtian had met her. Right now, her voice was icy-cold and didnt sound gentle at all. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but be surprised as he didnt understand what Dugu Aoshuang meant. Dugu Fengwu feels that she owes me something. Hence, she wanted me to be married off and be a bride before I die. In order to not let her feel that she owes me anything, I decided to accept her goodwill. Dugu Aoshuang said, But if you dare to touch me, I will let you die without a burial site. Because my heart already belongs to someone. Even if I will never marry him, I am unwilling to let other men touch me. Yang Dingtian replied with a gentle voice, Dont worry, I will not touch you. Ah... Once Yang Dingtians voice sounded, Dugu Aoshuang gasped and spoke in disbelief, Big Brother Yan, its you... Her voice was filled with pleasant surprise. Yes, its me..., Yang Dingtian responded. Immediately after, Yang Dingtian felt a warmth as a soft and tender body jumped into his embrace. Big Brother Yan, why is it you? Why are you here? I, I am not dreaming, right? Dugu Aoshuang was trembling. Yang Dingtian was stunned as he asked, You didnt know that you were marrying me? I, I didnt know. Dugu Aoshuang said, Dugu Fengwu didnt inform me. She just said she will bring me a husband. Big Brother Yan, why are you here? I am really not dreaming, right? Dugu Aoshuang was still slightly trembling in his embrace. But her excitement quickly faded as she went silent for a moment before she spoke with a sad voice, Big Brother Yan. My elder sister caught you and forced you to marry me, right? Yang Dingtian didnt deny it. Actually, you are unwilling to marry me and dont like me in your heart, right? Dugu Aoshuangs voice shivered as she spoke, Thats right, who would like a girl who has scales all over her body? When she finally reached this topic, Dugu Aoshuangs originally burning hot body gradually turned ice-cold. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and spoke with a gentle voice, Shuanger. Can I call you this? Yes. I like it when you call me this way, Dugu Aoshuang replied. I like you a lot. You have a provocative figure, and you are a girl who is kind and pure at heart. I like you very much, Yang Dingtian confessed. Dugu Aoshuang seemed to regain some of her liveliness and said, Then, then you are willing to marry me? Yang Dingtian didnt speak for a very long time. Even in darkness, he could still see Shuanger eyes that were filled with hope. Her eyes were truly too charming and beautiful. I would like to say that I am willing to marry you, Shuanger. Despite the fact that it would be a blessing for me to marry a girl like you, I already have a wife, Yang Dingtian explained slowly. In this instant, Yang Dingtian felt a warm sensation on his palm. It was Dugu Aoshuangs tears. Yang Dingtians heart went soft for a moment before he continued talking, Moreover, I am here at the Temple of Blood with an objective that I shouldnt declare. What objective, Big Brother Yan? Dugu Aoshuang asked. Despite the fact that Yang Dingtian explained his identity, Dugu Aoshuang still called him Big Brother Yan. Entering the Blood Pool to cultivate. Diligently break through. Then, return to Cloud Heaven City to rescue my wife, Yang Dingtian explained. After staying silent for a moment, Dugu Aoshuang raised her head and asked, Big Brother Yan, can you tell me about her situation? What happened to her? Okay. Her name is Ximen Yanyan..., Yang Dingtian narrated. Afterward, Yang Dingtian narrated the story about him and Yanyan until the incident where Yanyan was framed by Qin Shaobai for murder, where he was going to duel Qin Shaobai in three days. He told everything to Dugu Aoshuang. After listening to everything, Dugu Aoshuang spoke in a soft voice, Big Brother Yan, Ximen Yanyan is truly blessed. If I was like her, even if I have to die right now, I would be willing to. Yang Dingtian said, Shuanger, even though no one can compare to Yanyan in my heart, I want to say that... in terms of looks, character, or figures, you are similar to her. You are both the most beautiful woman in this world. After listening to Yang Dingtians story, Dugu Aoshuangs beautiful eyes revealed this unbounded tender look as she spoke, Big Brother Yan. Actually, you didnt have to tell me all this and just say that you are willing to marry me. Afterward, you can get me to help you enter the Blood Pool and cultivate. You know that I like you and I am willing to do anything for you. Yang Dingtian smiled and said, You are so adorable and pure. Who can bear to cheat you? After hearing Yang Dingtians words, Dugu Aoshuangs beautiful eyes shone with even more joy and delight. After pondering for a moment, Shuanger proposed, Big Brother Yan, is this okay? Yang Dingtian will belong to Ximen Yanyan, but Yan Nantian will belong to me, okay? Didnt you say that you didnt dislike my appearance and think that it is especially attractive? Then... then, tonight, we will be a real married couple, and we will have the most intimate relationship. Afterward, I will help you cultivate in the Blood Pool and help you escape from the Temple of Blood to let you go rescue Sister Yanyan, okay? Yang Dingtian got a shock. He really didnt expect that Dugu Aoshuang would make this proposal. For a moment, he didnt know how should he respond. When Yang Dingtian didnt have any reaction, Dugu Aoshuangs delicate body shook as she asked, Big Brother Yan, it is the truth when you say you didnt hate the scales on my body, right? In this instant, her voice was filled with terror. If Yang Dingtian told her lie that day, then there was truly no one else that wasnt afraid of her on sight. This would cause her to collapse, and the tiniest bit of faith she had would crumble. Of course. Yang Dingtian lowered his head and gave a light kiss on her forehead while saying, You might not know this. When hugging your body, the fire in my heart is actually getting restless. This was a question for all the men on Earth. If you were to hug the female mutant, Mystique, from X-Men, would your heart feel restless? Furthermore, Dugu Aoshuang had a figure that was even sexier than hers. Then, why dont you agree? I am just asking you to be Yan Nantian for a single night and for you to be my husband for a single night. After tomorrow, you will be back to being Yang Dingtian. Dugu Aoshuang said, I am about to die, but before I die, I truly want to give my body to the man I love. I dont want to die before I am a true woman. Moreover, you mentioned that you are not afraid of my appearance. Yang Dingtian went silent before he replied, Shuanger. I am very tempted by your proposal, but I have to tell you a secret. I and my wife are mutually in love with each other and have been married for a few months, but we had yet to do the thing that married couples are supposed to do. Despite the case, we have done every other intimate thing. Ahh... Dugu Aoshuang suddenly let out a gasp of disbelief. If I was to agree to have sexual relations with you. To be honest, I will enjoy it a lot and to say something unreasonable, I wouldnt feel any sense of self-blame. But it would be the most unfair thing to you. Yang Dingtian said, I have this subtle feeling that the scales on your body will subside one day, and you will rise like a phoenix. You will become as beautiful as Dugu Fengwu and a woman who emits a radiance. By then, countless men would be crazy for you. Hence, if I take your body now, it would be such an irresponsible act. Really? Big Brother Yan, do you think the scales on my body will subside? Dugu Aoshuang asked with a shivering voice. It is what I feel. Yang Dingtian said, Once I leave the Temple of Blood, I will venture into the world to cultivate. By then, I will surely strive to find a method to help your scales subside. Of course, I wouldnt dare to say that I will be able to find that method, but no one should ever give up hope. And dont make such an important decision due to desperation, okay? Shuanger said with a soft voice, But, even if my scales subside in the future and even if I become a woman that is radiant, my heart will remain unchanged. I will still love you. If that is the case, then I will be the worlds luckiest man. Yang Dingtian smiled and said, Shuanger, how much longer did they say you have to live? Two years..., Dugu Aoshuang replied. I dont believe it. I believe without a doubt that you will continue to live on. Yang Dingtian said, Shuanger. You ask me to be your man tonight, I cannot do it. But I can promise you that if I cannot find a method to make your scales subside, I will come back to see you within two years. No matter how difficult it is, I will come and see you once. Really? Shuanger said with delight. Of course! Yang Dingtian replied. S?a??h the ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Shuanger lowered her head and spoke in a soft voice, Then, I have a request, Big Brother Yan. En. Yang Dingtian nodded. Kiss me once. Let me feel what is the feeling of love between a man and woman is like, Dugu Aoshuang said and lifted her head while gradually closing her eyes. Yang Dingtian held her face, faced her lips, and gave a deep kiss. It was after several minutes before their lips slowly separated. Dugu Aoshuangs delicate body was on fire and felt weak in Yang Dingtians embrace. Her beautiful eyes were in a daze, as though she was drunk from wine, as she panted loudly in the dark. Her entire body was emitting a special fragrance that was intoxicating. Afterward, Dugu Aoshuang left Yang Dingtians embrace and said, Alright then. Big Brother Yan, your time is very pressing. We need to immediately make a plan on how to let you enter the Blood Pool to cultivate. Thank you, Shuanger. I truly want to thank you, Yang Dingtian said in a serious manner. Big Brother Yan, you gave me the courage to continue living. I am willing to do anything for you. Shuanger said in a gentle voice, The Blood Pool is a few thousand meters in the abdomen of the mountain. It is the most dangerous place in the entire Temple of Blood. Without the Ten Thousand Blood Token(Blood Token), anyone would die upon entry. Is the security around the Blood Pool very tight? Yang Dingtian asked. There is no security. The stone doors are directly opened without any guards. Dugu Aoshuang said, But there is a Fire Demon Violent Lion in there. It is a 500-year-old demonic beast. After absorbing a large amount of mystic qi that emanated from the Blood Pool, it is comparable to a Grandmaster Class expert. The entire Blood Pool is its territory, and without the Blood Token, the person who enters will be torn into pieces. Is that Blood Token in your fathers hand? Yang Dingtian asked. Yes. It is impossible for you to obtain the Blood Token from him. You will just attract his suspicion, Dugu Aoshuang advised. Yang Dingtians head felt numb. A Grandmaster Class demonic beast would probably be a headache for Dongfang Niemie. In addition, the demonic beast had an extreme possessiveness over its territory. Once he took half a step in, it would definitely fight to its last gasp. For martial artists like Yang Dingtian, even ten thousand of him would not be able to withstand a single claw from the Fire Demon Violent Lion. Is that Fire Demon Violent Lion a bit more intimate with any of the members in the Temple of Blood? Yang Dingtian suddenly recalled the prodigy Beast Speaker, Ximen Ningning. There isnt. Dugu Aoshuang said, It is filled with animosity towards the people of the Temple of Blood. And because it is absorbing the energy from the Blood Pool, it is getting impetuous. It always feels that the Temple of Blood is snatching its belongings. Hence, many of the disciples of the Temple of Blood are compelled by circumstances. Even if they have the Blood Token, they wouldnt dare to enter the Blood Pool. My father has already started to plan on how to kill this Fire Demon Violent Lion. Without the Blood Token, this violent demonic beast wouldnt leave any room for negotiation. From the looks of it, it would be an extreme challenge to enter the Blood Pool. There might not be any possibility at all. Immediately after, Yang Dingtian thought of an idea. He had a sixth-grade Beast Soul Elixir, which had a fatal attraction to demonic beasts. What if Yang Dingtian fused Ningning and Ximen Wuyas blood into this Beast Soul Elixir and fed it to the Fire Demon Violent Lion? Although the amount of the Deep Sea Mystic Poison and the Soul Devour Mystic Qi was very diffuse in the blood, when mixed together, the toxicity should still be astounding. As long as the Fire Demon Violent Lion consumes this Beast Soul Elixir, it would temporarily lose its attack capabilities. Thus, Yang Dingtian explained his idea, but he didnt say that it was the Soul Devour Mystic Qi and the Deep Sea Mystic Poison. He just explained that it was a very mysterious and rare poison. Dugu Aoshuang immediately shook her head and said, It will not work. That Fire Demon Violent Lion only feeds on the energy of the Blood Pool and nothing else. Because if it ate anything else, it would cause huge damage to its mystic qi. At this moment, Yang Dingtian was truly at his wits end. You have a sixth-grade Beast Soul Elixir? Dugu Aoshuang suddenly asked. Yang Dingtian nodded. There might be a method. Dugu Aoshuang said, But there will still be a danger to your life. If there is even a slight mishap, you might be torn to pieces. What method? Yang Dingtian asked. Follow me, Big Brother Yan, Dugu Aoshuang said and immediately ran out. Yang Dingtian followed closely behind. Right now, it was very late into the night... Yang Dingtian walked out of the building that Dugu Aoshuang was residing in and saw a whole patch of darkness. The sky didnt have any stars and didnt have any moons. They should be there, but it was unknown why they couldnt be seen. 10,000 meters below was the majestic and boundless river. This back of this Mt. Ten Thousand Blood was incomparably lonesome. It only had a long mountain path and the isolated little building that Dugu Aoshuang resided in. From this place, it could be seen how the entire Temple of Blood had rejected and dreaded Dugu Aoshuang. The two of them followed the rope and descended almost one thousand meters, arriving at the entrance of a giant cave. There was a stone tunnel inside that was over a dozen meters in height and width. Big Brother Yan, if you follow this tunnel and walk into the deepest area, you will arrive at your destination, the Blood Pool, Dugu Aoshuang explained. Dugu Aoshuang then pointed to the river that was ten thousand meters below and said, Big Brother Yan, in the river below, there lives a similarly formidable demonic beast. It might be slightly inferior to the Fire Demon Violent Lion, but it almost comparable and is the suzerain of the entire Rapture River. En, what else? Yang Dingtian asked. Dugu Aoshuang then said, This Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon has a very deep hatred for the Fire Demon Violent Lion. Back then, these two demonic beasts had a big battle for the Blood Pool. The Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon lost and is residing in the river with its hatred, but it still yearns for the Blood Pool. We can use the Beast Soul Elixir to lure the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon towards the vicinity of the Blood Pool. This way, the Fire Demon Violent Lion would assume that the flood dragon is here to snatch its territory. It will definitely lose all reason and rush out to kill it. Just like that, the two demonic beasts would be locked in mutual slaughter. You can make use of this opportunity to enter the Blood Pool and cultivate as quickly as possible. Dugu Aoshuang then warned, But Big Brother Yan, this method is still very, very dangerous. If there is any minor mishap, you will lose your life. Thats right, this plan was a very risky one. Firstly, it was uncertain whether the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon would be attracted by the sixth-grade Beast Soul Elixir. Even if it was attracted, it might directly rush Yang Dingtian and the Beast Soul Elixir, eating them together. Furthermore, it was still uncertain if these two demonic beasts would try to kill each other. Even if everyone went smoothly and Yang Dingtian managed to enter the depths of the Blood Pool to cultivate, when it was time for him to leave, the Fire Demon Violent Lion might have achieved victory and returned to the cave. If it noticed Yang Dingtians presence, it would immediately rip him into pieces. In short, if they followed this plan, Yang Dingtian would be in grave danger. There is no other way. Lets do it. Yang Dingtian gritted his teeth and made his decision. Right now, there were still 65 hours before the duel with Qin Shaobai. Chapter 119: Entering the Blood Pool! Surge of Energy Chapter 119: Entering the Blood Pool! Surge of EnergyTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Despite the huge risk, Yang Dingtian still wanted to use Dugu Aoshuangs idea to use the Beast Soul Elixir to lure the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon into a mutual slaughter with the Fire Demon Violent Lion. He would then use the opportunity to enter the Blood Pool and cultivate. It will be very dangerous later on. You should go back, Yang Dingtian said. No, I want to go with you, Dugu Aoshuang insisted. There is no room for negotiation. Yang Dingtian spoke resolutely and decisively, If I successfully break through in the Blood Pool and survive these two demonic beasts, I will definitely come to look for you no matter how dangerous it is. If I never return, it means that I am dead. Dugu Aoshuangs beautiful eyes turned red as she said, No, you must return. Yang Dingtian replied, Alright. I will surely return. So please be good. Go back and wait for me. You are not going to be of any use beside me. Even if we encounter danger, I will be distracted as I have to protect you. After finishing, Yang Dingtian pushed Dugu Aoshuang up. Dugu Aoshuangs eyes were reddened as she spoke with a gentle voice, Okay, I will wait for you in the small house. Big Brother Yan, you must be careful. Afterward, she grabbed onto the rope and climbed back up several thousand meters back to her small house. ... Looking down at the dark river where that extremely dangerous Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon was residing, Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and restrained his tensed up emotions. He took out the sixth-grade Beast Soul Elixir from the spatial ring and gently shook it around in the air. Despite the distance of ten thousand meters, the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon could still clearly smell the fragrance. At first, the surface of the river didnt have any ripples, but Yang Dingtian was already running rapidly into the stone cave. Before the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon noticed Yang Dingtian, he had to quickly run towards the Blood Pool. If it saw Yang Dingtians figure, he would certainly die without a burial site. Yang Dingtian ran at his top speed, following the giant stone tunnel into the center of the mountains abdomen, sprinting towards the Blood Pool. At this moment, an incomparably gigantic monster emerged from the river silently. It had a total of eight heads and sixteen eyes. Each head looked different. Some had a snake-like appearance while some looked like a humans. Some of the heads had a diameter as big as two to three meters. Some were as small as one foot in diameter. This monster slithered upwards along Mt. Ten Thousand Blood, exposing its astoundingly huge body. Twenty meters, thirty meters, forty meters, fifty meters... Finally, when its entire body was out of the water, it was more than a hundred meters long. It had a snakes body and four limbs. The diameter of the body was close to ten meters wide. This was the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon. It had lived more than a few centuries and was a demonic beast that was close to the Grandmaster Class. As the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon slithered quickly, it paused a little when it was at the ten-thousand-meter mark. Its gigantic body then squeezed into the stone cave where the Blood Pool was. ... Just as Yang Dingtian ran over 2000 meters, he instantly felt tremors in the stone tunnel while a powerful current pressed on his back. It was apparent that an enormous being had entered the stone tunnel. Shortly after, a fishy stench blew in with a forceful wind, which followed behind Yang Dingtianas as he rushed forward. It was evident that this enormous being was moving rapidly and the distance between Yang Dingtian and it was closing. Yang Dingtian mustnt be seen by it. Otherwise, he wouldnt even be enough to stuff the gap between the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragons fangs. Yang Dingtians speed got faster and faster. Finally, he was sprinting frantically. The forceful wind on his back intensified while the noise was getting louder. The surface of the entire stone tunnel started to tremble. Meanwhile, the fishy stench was getting stronger too. Rush, rush, rush... Quick, quick, quick... Almost there. Yang Dingtian was almost at the Blood Pool. There were still two thousand meters. One thousand meters... Five hundred meters... Three hundred meters... Yang Dingtian could already see the huge doors of the Blood Pool. There was this lurid glow that was emitted from the extremely huge stone doors. Yang Dingtian was still a few hundred meters away and could clearly feel the strong energy that had a trace of violence. The Blood Pool was within those doors. The cave within the doors was extremely wide and was over one hundred meters tall. The giant stone doors of the Blood Pool was completely white. Once Yang Dingtian got a closer look, he realized that this white wasnt natural. These doors were embedded with countless bones and skulls. Most of them belonged to humans while the rest of were demonic beast skulls. This was merely the entrance to the Blood Pool, and it already had countless skeletons. In this instant, Yang Dingtian could feel the shiver down his spine as he felt an icy-cold sensation. At this moment, the formidable Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon was just a few hundred meters away. Yang Dingtian could clearly feel its extremely powerful presence. Yang Dingtian couldnt run anymore and couldnt be seen either. He had to hide immediately. At this moment, Yang Dingtian was just one hundred meters away from the doors of the Blood Pool, but he resisted the temptation to approach the Blood Pool and found a small cave in the corner to hide in. He then grabbed the Beast Soul Elixir and threw it towards the doors of the Blood Pool. He managed to throw it over ninety meters away, which was just outside the range of the Blood Pools doors, but it was close enough. As expected, once Yang Dingtian hid properly, a gigantic Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon turned the corner and immediately appeared in front of Yang Dingtians eyes. Such size, such terror, such danger..., Yang Dingtian lamented in his heart. The Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon was too fast, and it brought with it a fishy stench with the forceful wind, which made it difficult for Yang Dingtian to even open his eyes. It was like a giant train shuttling past in a tunnel. Yang Dingtian noticed that this Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon wasnt really a flood dragon. It was a kind of sea serpent demonic beast instead. The flood dragon might not be a true dragon, but it was a close relative of a dragon and should have horns on its head. However, this Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon didnt have any horns. Despite that, this Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon was an extremely powerful demonic beast. After residing in the river for a long period of time, it obtained a strength that was close to a Grandmaster Class expert. The Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon was staring at the sixth-grade Beast Soul Elixir with avaricious eyes. It immediately rushed ahead and wanted to consume it. But it suddenly stopped its movements like a train pulling on the brakes. Because it realized that the doors of the Blood Pool were just in front. This place was naturally engraved into its memories, and it knew that its nemesis was in there. In an instant, the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon emitted a blood-red glow from its eyes as it recalled the painful and vengeful memories. Its entire body was filled with a bloodthirsty craving, and it looked as though it was about to rush through the huge doors and fight to the death with the Fire Demon Violent Lion to seize the Blood Pool. Go, go, hurry up and go..., Yang Dingtian thought anxiously. But he didnt expect for this Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon to suddenly lower its heads after its anger subsided. It then looked over at where Yang Dingtian was hiding and emitted an icy-cold murderous intent. It effortless discovered that Yang Dingtian was hiding there. It was actually infuriated by Yang Dingtian as it obviously understood that this was his plot, to use the sixth-grade Beast Soul Elixir to lure it here to have a deathmatch with the Fire Demon Violent Lion. Shortly after, all eight hideous heads of the flood dragon glared at Yang Dingtian. The necks suddenly straightened while the sixteen eyes shot out gloomy and cold glows. Yang Dingtians hair immediately stood on end as he truly trembled with fear. This was different from the Thousand Years Night Owl. Back then, the Night Owl was trapped and wasnt able to kill him. And when the Night Owl broke free, it had lost all reason and was only concerned about destruction, totally forgetting that Yang Dingtian was on top of it. But this Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon was awake and unfeeling. It was about to rip Yang Dingtian into pieces. The Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragons center snakehead slowly opened its mouth, extending its horrific forked tongue. Fiery red energy was brewing in its mouth and was about to be spat in Yang Dingtians direction. Yang Dingtian gripped the Night Owl Strange Blade on his back and slowly drew it. Roar... All of a sudden, there was a deafening roar that echoed from within the cave. Yang Dingtians eardrums felt was as though they were being penetrated, and his entire head felt a splitting pain. Even the entire giant cave started to have tremors. This was the Fire Demon Violent Lions roar of wrath. It was a roar that was filled with provocation and disdain. The Fire Demon Violent Lion was berserk and prideful. The Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon was extremely sinister and ruthless. It didnt wish to be tricked by Yang Dingtian. Hence, it stopped before reaching the Blood Pool, expressing its intention that it didnt wish to trespass into the Fire Demon Violent Lions territory. However, the Fire Demon Violent Lion wasnt appreciative of this gesture and even let out a roar of provocation and disdain. Shortly after, a lump of blinding light suddenly skimmed out. This was the Fire Demon Violent Lion, which was like a miniature mountain. It was over twenty meters tall and more than fifty meters long. Its entire body was releasing blood-red flames. It immediately came to the doors of the Blood Pool and raised its head to let out the roar of a king. It then puffed out its chest and looked down upon the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon, ordering it to get out of its territory. The Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon was immediately furious! I am unwilling to be tricked by the human, so I didnt enter the Blood Pool. Do you think I am afraid of you? You snatched my Blood Pool, injured me, and you now throw your weight around like a boss? You are just too much! At this moment, the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon threw Yang Dingtian off to the back of its mind. It faced the Fire Demon Violent Lion and straightened all eight of its heads, lifting its body higher and higher until the heads reached the ceiling of the cave that was over a hundred meters tall. Hiss Hiss... The eight heads all extended blood-red forked tongues in unison, emitting a terrifying sharp hiss. The Fire Demon Violent Lions flame grew taller by another three meters. It let out a thunderous roar at the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon, admonishing it to get out immediately. The Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon opened its mouths wide and let out waves of roars in return. If it was to retreat at this moment, it would be utterly humiliated. But it really didnt want to fight this Fire Demon Violent Lion for no good reason. After all, this was a plot by the humans, and it wouldnt be worth it if both of them suffered losses. Right now, the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon just wanted to put up a front and confront it for a moment as it tried to attract the Temple of Bloods Grandmaster Class experts so that they could mediate between the two of them. The Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon would then have an excuse to step down, showing that it wasnt afraid of the Fire Demon Violent Lion and was merely giving the Temple of Blood some face. Once it retreated back to the river, this Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon would definitely demand the Temple of Blood to hand over that wretched human. It would then use the most horrifying method to torture that human to death. Roar... Seeing the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon provoking it back instead of retreating, the Fire Demon Violent Lion was instantly furious, seeing that its defeated foe was still trying to act so rampantly. After it let out the roar, the Fire Demon Violent Lion rushed out ferociously and immediately bit down at the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon. The Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon was shocked. It knew that the Fire Demon Violent Lion was an impetuous beast, but it didnt expect the lion to be so feisty, not being able to take even a bit of provocation and immediately coming at it directly. If it knew the lion was so volatile, it would have immediately retreated earlier. Why did it even try to reason with this fool? But, it was too late to regret it now as the Fire Demon Violent Lion was coming for its life. Roar... After the roar, the lions giant claws flashed with blue flames as it tried to cut at the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon. When its claws drew across the air, there was an intense flash of blue light that let out sonic booms. The flash of blue light was mystic qi energy, and the sonic boom was due to the extreme speed that already exceeded the speed of sound. This claws speed was too fast, and the body of the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon was too large. It couldnt dodge in time and was about to be sliced apart. Hiss... Letting out a sharp hiss, a blue light flashed across as the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon rapidly shrunk. Instantly shrinking so that it was just over a dozen meters tall and two meters thick, it then quickly dodged the Fire Demon Violent Lions fatal and violent attack. Boom... The Fire Demon Violent Lions claw vigorously slammed into the stone walls. The extremely tough stone walls were like tofu in this instant as holes several meters deep were clawed out. Afterward, the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragons body quickly swelled up while it used its thick tail to whip at the lion. Bang! The tail ruthlessly slammed into the abdomen of the Fire Demon Violent Lion. There was a loud echo, and the miniature-mountain-sized lion was sent flying several hundred meters and crashed violently into the cave walls. Rumble... The extremely solid stone wall now had a deep impression several hundred meters in diameter. The entire stone cave shook vigorously, as a crack a few thousand meters deep extended upwards. Pfff... The Fire Demon Violent Lion spat out countless flames from its mouth. It sprayed onto the stone wall like countless missiles, blasting numerous pits into it. These flames were the Fire Demon Violent Lions blood. This Fire Demon Violent Lion was originally stronger than the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon, but it had a rash temperament. The flood dragon was crafty and sly. Thus, the lion suffered a loss in the first exchange. After succeeding in its first move, the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon raised its heads up and revealed a sneer at the Fire Demon Violent Lion. It then quickly retreated as it actually wanted to abandon this battle. After taking the upper hand and leaving, it surely wouldnt lose any reputation and wouldnt fall into an extended battle where it would suffer later on. But the Fire Demon Violent Lion was completely enraged. It stood up suddenly and roared towards the sky. The flames on its body grew as tall as thirty feet, and the flames were now blood-red in color. Immediately after, its body grew larger, and larger, and larger... From ten meters to twenty meters and then to thirty meters... The Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon was astonished as this became a fight to the death. Why was this Fire Demon Violent Lion so impatient and going into a berserk state as soon as it suffered a slight humiliation? Every demonic beast could enter a berserk state. Once in that state, their combat strength would drastically increase. But once the battle was over, the demonic beast would enter a frail state. Sometimes, it would last one or two years, while some would continue in this frail state for three to four years. Hence, when the lion entered a berserk state, it meant that this battle would end with one of them dead. Todays battle would result in either the death of the lion or the death of the flood dragon. The Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon was afraid now. Its sneak attack succeeded earlier because it was simply smarter, but in terms of cultivation, it was inferior to the Fire Demon Violent Lion. If it knew that this Fire Demon Violent Lion was so feisty, it would have taken the sneak attack and wouldnt have wanted the upper hand. It would rather be slapped and humiliated by the lion and just flee. At least then, its life wouldnt be in danger. Now, it was all over. The Fire Demon Violent Lion would only be satisfied after killing it. Lion King, Lion King, I didnt mean to offend you. This is all a part of that humans plot. He was the one who lured me here with the sixth-grade Beast Soul Elixier. I do not have any intention to invade your territory. I will leave now, right now and never take half a step into your territory in the future. This Beast Soul Elixir and this human shall be a tribute for you, The Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon quickly begged for mercy and used a special demonic beast language to beg. But the Fire Demon Violent Lion was already in a berserk state, and it didnt care about such trivial things. Its body was still continuing to swell up. After swelling up to over fifty meters in height and three hundred meters in length, it was truly like a flaming mountain. Roar... The violent lion roared. Boundless flames poured out, and the entire cave became roasting hot. The cave was now bright like daytime. Boom... Just like a volcano erupting, the Fire Demon Violent Lion charged at the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon. Misunderstanding. It is a misunderstanding. Your Lion King Majesty, how about I sever one of my heads and you let me go? It isnt necessary for us to both suffer losses... The Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon desperately tried to beg for mercy. Boom... The Fire Demon Violent Lion opened its mouth and let out a sudden breath. A raging blaze that had surging energy was blasted at the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon. The Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon was startled as it quickly shrank and dodged. Rumble... The flames exploded beside the flood dragon. There was a loud blast, and the whole place shook as countless giant rocks broke off and fell. While the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon might have dodged a fatal attack, during the explosion, it was immediately sent flying several hundred meters away. There was damage all over its body, and countless scales had been forcefully torn off. It was now drenched in blood. Fire Demon Violent Lion, you fool... The Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon cursed. However, it was facing the Fire Demon Violent Lion in its berserk state, so it didnt dare to go against it in a frontal clash. It immediately used all of its energy to flee out of the cave. It didnt matter even if it was going to lose its face. As long as it could enter the river, it would be safe. Moreover, even if it was going to have a fight to the death, it wanted it to be in its own territory, which would give it a higher chance of victory. Of course, doing so would be playing right into Yang Dingtians hand, but right now, the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon found it more important to protect its own life as nothing else mattered more. Sure enough, when the Fire Demon Violent Lion saw the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon flee, it didnt even consider and immediately charged out in frenzied pursuit. It had completely forgotten about its Blood Pool. S?a??h the Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. In just a blink of an eye, the two formidable demonic beasts instantly vanished without a trace, leaving behind a battlefield that was a mess. These stone walls were as hard as steel, and even if several dozen missiles were launched from Earth, it wouldnt be able to produce such great destruction. But just a few exchanges of blows between the two demonic beasts had nearly destroyed a large portion of the giant tunnel that was several thousand meters long. But Yang Dingtian couldnt be bothered with such things now. If he didnt enter the Blood Pool now, when was he going to do it? Hence, he emerged from his hiding place and sprinted towards the Blood Pools doors. Just as he got ten meters away from the door, Yang Dingtian conveniently picked up and stored the sixth-grade Beast Soul Elixir into his spatial ring before rushing into the Blood Pool. ... The cave that the Blood Pool was in was entirely different from the outside. All the rocks in there were blood-red in color. The stone walls in here werent flat and smooth, but they were sinisterly sharp, which made the entire cave of the Blood Pool look very gloomy, terrifying, and dreadfully severe. The entire cave was extremely huge, which was several tens of thousands square meters in area. But the surface area of the Blood Pool was very small. The surface diameter was just over twenty meters. It was located within a stack of blood-red rocks. The entire pool was also blood-red in color. The surface of the pool had this rising spiral of mist that was blood-red in color as well. Even though there wasnt any wind, this blood mist still swirled around, distorting into strange images. It seemed like there were countless dead souls trying to speak out and as though there were countless malicious spirits there weeping. The entire giant cave was covered in blood-red, and it looked like the depths of hell. Thats right, it was like hell. No one had seen hell before, but Yang Dingtian felt this place was just like hell. Yang Dingtian traveled almost ten thousand miles, devoted his heart and blood, risking his life for this blood-red pool in front of him. (TL note: The miles here refers to the chinese mile. 1 chinese mile = 500 meters) He clearly knew that this small pool contained enormous energy. All the walls in this area that was tens of thousands of square meters in area were all dyed red by this small pool. How was the Blood Pool formed? No one knew. But it definitely had a much longer history than the Temple of Blood and was here before the Temple of Blood formed. According to most peoples speculations, it was probably formed during the period of Great Dark Extermination. Back when the Temple of Blood took over the Blood Pool, they spread a rumor to emphasize that the Blood Pool belonged to them. They said that all their Martial Supreme class experts had to pour all of their energy into the Blood Pool before their deaths. Was this actually the truth? No one knew if the energy from the successive generations of experts was truly useful for maintaining the Blood Pool. But in this way, it gave a very strong hint to the outside world that the Blood Pool was maintained by using the lives of generations of experts. Hence, the Blood Pool belonged to the Temple of Blood and was something sacred and never to be violated. When Yang Dingtian approached the Blood Pool earlier, even as he just stepped through the doors, he felt a surge of boundless energy that was raw and unending. Yang Dingtian walked towards the Blood Pool step by step. Fewer than one individual out of ten members of the Temple of Blood was allowed to cultivate in the Blood Pool. The reason being that once someone entered the Blood Pool, an overwhelming surge of energy would rush into the body. Those who dont have innately formidable mystic meridians would die from their meridians rupturing. There were some who would feel unbearable pain, suffocation, and even splitting pain in all of their meridians whenever they approached the Blood Pool. The Blood Pool was in the shape of a funnel, which was spacious on top and narrow at the bottom. It had an immeasurable bottom and plenty of layers. As of now, the lowest layer anyone went down to was the fifth layer. No one knew how many layers there were. 80% of the elite disciples would only be able to cultivate in the first layer. Around 15% of them could cultivate in the second layer. Only about 5% would be able to cultivate in the third layer. There were only a few individuals in many generations from the Temple of Blood who could cultivate in the fourth layer. As for the fifth layer, only one or two individuals were able to do it in the one-thousand-year history of the Temple of Blood. It was needless to say that the deeper one could go in the Blood Pool, the more tyrannical and rawer the energy, which would produce an astounding effect during cultivation. At the same time, the deep the layer, the higher the requirements for the innate talent and mystic meridians. If one didnt have sufficient talent, ones meridians would be ruptured by the formidable energy in the Blood Pool. Yang Dingtians talents were abnormally high. However, he didnt know which layer he could dive into because he was just a nine star Mystic Martial Artist and the mystic qi in his body was too scarce. He might not even be able to withstand the powerful energy that would bombard his body. I have gone through trials and tribulations just to come here. Can I break through? How many classes can I break through? It will be up to this one time! Yang Dingtian thought in his heart. He stripped off his clothes and hid them. He was almost completely naked as he jumped into Blood Pool. In an instant, extremely powerful energy surged towards him like an inexhaustible tide, which bombarded every inch of his skin and meridians. Chapter 120: Cultivation Breakthrough! Chapter 120: Cultivation Breakthrough!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian finally understood why Mystic Martial Artists who didnt have high innate talents and strong mystic meridians must never enter the Blood Pool. Take for example, if the Blood Pool was a reservoir that had a very high volume and was blocked by a dam. A person who entered the Blood Pool was like dry land behind the dam, and their mystic meridians would be a river that flowed through the land. When the Blood Pools energy surged into the human body, it was just like the opening of the dam. As the endless amount of water poured out and if the river was wide and deep enough, it would be able to contain the water that was released from the dam. But if the river was narrow and shallow, the water that was gushing wouldnt just destroy the river, it would flood the lands as well. Right now, Yang Dingtian was only at the first level, but he could feel his entire body boiling up as endless energy surged through it. His body was like a balloon that was being blown up. At this moment, as long as Yang Dingtian circulated the mnemonic chant, he would be able to turn all the mystic qi into his own. The first layer of the Blood Pool was also the safest, but if Yang Dingtian wanted to breakthrough faster through more classes, he would have to enter the deeper layers of the Blood Pool. Yang Dingtian was just in the first layer, but he felt as though it was like the raging waves crashing onto the seashore. If he was to go deeper, it would be even more dangerous and more painful. 80% of the elite disciples of the Temple of Blood would cultivate in the first layer of the Blood Pool. Of course, their innate talent would definitely be uncomparable to Yang Dingtians, but when they entered the Blood Pool, their mystic qi cultivation was definitely higher than Yang Dingtians. It was actually much higher, hence their mystic meridians were tougher. Those that could enter the second layer would at least be at the Martial Mystic class. Those that could enter the third layer would at least be at the Martial Ancestor class. Those that could enter the fourth layer would at least be at the Martial Supreme class. Besides that, there was the requirement that they should have at least eighth-grade mystic meridians. Thus, the fourth layer of the Blood Pool was a completely qualitative leap. This was why after so many generations, there were only a few who were able to cultivate in there. Those without the ability that forcefully went to the deeper layers would only die from the explosion of their bodies. According to Yang Dingtians mystic qi cultivation, entering the first layer was already barely enough. Because, in order to enter the first layer, one had to be at the Mystic Martial Master class, and Yang Dingtian was ten classes away from the Mystic Martial Master class. I am here to challenge my limits, Yang Dingtian thought in his heart and suddenly dove deeper. Yang Dingtian continuously went deeper and deeper and deeper... One meter, two meters, three meters... The first layer of the Blood Pool was ten meters deep. The Blood Pools diameter got narrower as it got deeper. But the strange thing was, the deeper it was, the more diluted the blood color of the pool actually got. On the top layer of the Blood Pool, the blood color was nearly going black, but once at the bottom of the first layer, it was the same color as fresh blood. Boom... Yang Dingtian entered the second layer. In an instant, there was an incomparably powerful energy that assaulted him ferociously. There was a golden ray in front of his eyes and he almost fainted from suffocation. The energy from the second layer was several folds stronger than the first layer. Yang Dingtian was caught off guard and he was nearly sent flying instantly. Yang Dingtian felt that his entire body didnt belong to him anymore and it was as though all his limbs had been ripped apart. The second layer seemed to be his limit. Yang Dingtian was now in great pain and was trying to endure it. Should I circulate the mnemonic chant in the second layer? Yang Dingtian thought in his heart, but he felt some reluctance. He had gone through so many hardships just to come here and this might be his only chance to cultivate in the Blood Pool. Wouldnt it be such a waste to only cultivate in the second layer? Most importantly, Yang Dingtian wanted to test his own limits. Thus, Yang Dingtian dove down again. Such pain, such agony... Yang Dingtian felt his body constantly swelling and swelling, as though his skin was splitting apart inch by inch. One meter, two meters, three meters... The second layer was roughly eight meters in depth... Yang Dingtian crossed through the second layer and ventured into the third layer. Bang... Yang Dingtian felt as though his brain produced a loud bang. Immediately after, he could smell the stench of blood. He was bleeding from his nose, ears, and mouth. Fresh blood incessantly spilled out. Every pore of his body was bleeding with fresh blood. But right now, he couldnt feel pain anymore, because his entire body had lost consciousness and it felt as though his body wasnt his anymore. This was the most dangerous! Because no matter how painful it was, he would still be aware and hence be able to understand his own body conditions. He would know what was going to happen in the next moment, he would even be able to feel it when his body was going to explode. But it would be too dangerous once his body had lost all consciousness. It meant that he might not be able to make any preparations before he died if his body exploded in the next moment. Hence, the third layer of the Blood Pool was already Yang Dingtians limit. This was already very praiseworthy as Yang Dingtian was only a nine-star Mystic Martial Artist. The third layer was a place that only Martial Ancestor Class experts could enter and it was already a miracle for Yang Dingtian to enter the third layer. Yang Dingtian finally took a look at the water in the pool. The third layer of the Blood Pool only had a diameter of around four or five meters. The blood-red color of the pool was very diluted and was similar to a tub of water that was mixed with a cup of fresh blood. The pool was nearly transparent. He slowly closed his eyes and prepared to circulate the mnemonic chant for the Pig Slaying Sword Art so that he could start to absorb and refine the mystic qi energy in here. Despite the fact that Yang Dingtian still wanted to enter the fourth layer, he wasnt a lunatic and he would not allow himself to die in the Blood Pool. The third layer should be sufficient for him since his target was to reach Mystic Martial Warrior. At the moment Yang Dingtian was going to close his eyes, he suddenly saw a person who was around two to three meters below him. It was a completely naked woman who was floating in the clear and transparent Blood Pool. She had the most beautiful face and the most flawless figure in the world. She was just like a modern-day sculpture on Eart, as she wasnt moving and her long hair was drifting around in the pool. Dugu Fengwu! It was actually the demon woman, Dugu Fengwu. Even though Yang Dingtian was in the Blood Pool, his body still produced a vigorously shudder. He didnt expect to see Dugu Fengwu this demon woman and she was completely naked within the Blood Pool as well. Yang Dingtians body suddenly trembled! The demon woman was vicious and merciless. Now that her naked body was seen by Yang Dingtian, she would probably kill him at first sight. For a moment, Yang Dingtian had the urge to rush out of the Blood Pool. But he quickly realized that Dugu Fengwu had her eyes closed and was completely immersed in cultivation as though she was ignorant to the outside world. Yang Dingtian involuntarily let out a long breath of relief. But the tremendous trouble was still around because Dugu Fengwu might wake up at any time. Once she woke up and saw Yang Dingtian, she would surely kill him immediately. If Yang Dingtian was to leave the Blood Pool now, he surely wouldnt be killed by Dugu Fengwu, but all the hardships that he had gone through would all be in vain. He was truly reluctant to just leave like this. There was another method and that was to continue diving down, further into the depths of the Blood Pool. Right now, Dugu Fengwu was in between the third and fourth layer, hence Yang Dingtian had to dive directly to the fourth layer. Furthermore, the fourth layer was completely golden in color and it could block Yang Dingtians figure, which Dugu Fengwu might not be able to notice. But, the fourth layer should be completely beyond what Yang Dingtian could endure. Once he dove in there, there was a 90% chance that he might immediately die from rupture. But if he didnt dive down, he would still be dead if Dugu Fengwu woke up. Yang Dingtian wasnt willing to let Dugu Fengwu kill him, and he wasnt willing to give up like this. Is heaven asking me to venture into the fourth layer? Yang Dingtian thought to himself. Yang Dingtian suddenly gritted his teeth and spoke in his heart, Master, I am going into the fourth layer of the Blood Pool, but I have lost all consciousness of my body. Could you help me observe my body from the inside and as soon as it is about to explode, inform me immediately? You might not be in time by then. Dongfang Niemie said, Even now, the energy on the outside is violently pressing on my soul spirit. The reason you are able to enter the third layer is entirely because of your fearsome Nine Yang Mystic Meridians. Your cultivation is too low and if you forcefully enter the fourth layer, you might simply disintegrate! Yang Dingtian said, As soon as you give out the warning, I will return immediately! Immediately after, Yang Dingtian continued to dive down. Right now, he couldnt feel any pain and his body didnt even felt like his own body anymore. But the muscles on his body were too frightening to look at as there were multiple splitting marks and fresh blood would constantly ooze out from every part of his body. It was truly a critical situation and his body might just explode in the blink of the eye. The fourth layer. The Blood Pools fourth layer was just in front of him. The fourth layer was completely different from the top. The water was completely golden in color and was even glowing with light. There was nothing else more beautiful and enchanting. Yang Dingtian was certain that it wasnt blood and was the pure liquid form of energy. After the fourth layer of the Blood Pool, there was the true Blood Pool... the true pool of energy. The top three layers were merely where the liquid energy extended to. Charge in! Even though there was a 90% chance that he might disintegrate and die from an explosion. In this instance, there was insufficient time even if Dongfang Niemie wanted to warn Yang Dingtian. Dont enter? Right now, Yang Dingtian was at the entrance and was just one step away. He was truly unwilling to resign to his fate. I will stake my life on it! Yang Dingtian roared in his heart and suddenly rushed in. Boom... There was a ray of golden light across Yang Dingtians eyes as he instantly lost all consciousness. It seemed as though his entire body and soul spirit had vanished without a trace. It was unknown how long had passed or perhaps it was merely a split second. All of the senses and awareness gradually returned to Yang Dingtians body. Yang Dingtian had restored his sight and consciousness. It is so comfortable. Compared to the first three layers of the Blood Pool, this place is like heaven. His previously numbed body had recovered. Yang Dingtian felt extremely comfortable as though he was basking in the sunlight. It was warm and comfortable as though all his pores were breathing carefree. His originally bloodied body was now completely refreshed. The fourth layer of the Blood Pool was the liquid of pure energy and there was no form of pressure or forceful injection. There wasnt any danger of his body exploding at any moment. Unlike the first three layers, it didnt matter if you were able to endure, the powerful energy would surge into your body. Hence, all those people who had weak mystic meridians would immediately die from the rupture of their bodies. Even Yang Dingtian was just one step away from exploding, where his entire body was filled with countless splitting marks and his fresh blood was pouring out. The fourth layer didnt have any requirements for the cultivators mystic qi level. Its only requirement was the cultivators innate talent and mystic meridians. The prerequisite was for the cultivator to endure the violent pressure from the first three layers. Once the cultivator entered the fourth layer, it was the true Blood Pool. But there was something awkward... Dugu Fengwus upper body was in the third layer, but her lower body was in the fourth layer. Hence, her slender and beautiful legs, round and enticing butt, and the most mysterious and tempting private region were suspended right above Yang Dingtians head. Every inch of her private region was fully exposed in front of Yang Dingtians eyes. Despite Yang Dingtians efforts to resist it, he couldnt help but take a glance. At this moment, Yang Dingtian felt his entire heart and entire body violently shake! This demon woman might be vicious, but in terms of beauty and sex appeal, she was definitely unrivaled in the entire world. It was due to her unique personality that made her beauty and charm, which even surpassed Dongfang Bingling. But Yang Dingtian didnt dare to look further. This demon woman was a person that could kill without a blink of the eye. It was best to be as far away from her as possible. Hence, Yang Dingtian desperately dove down further all the way into the deepest part of the fourth layer of the Blood Pool. Below the fourth layer was the fifth layer, which was supposed to be the last layer of the Blood Pool. Yang Dingtian felt that it was still very dangerous to be in the fourth layer along with Dugu Fengwus lower body. If Dugu Fengwu was to wake up earlier while he was cultivating, she might still notice Yang Dingtian, and he would certainly be dead. Hence, in order to be absolutely safe, he had to dive into the fifth layer of the Blood Pool. Furthermore, the fifth layer was where the strongest energy of the Blood Pool was. Yang Dingtians heart was actually filled with incomparable expectations. Besides, Dugu Fengwu should be unable to enter the fifth layer. Hence, the fifth layer was definitely the safest place for him to cultivate. The fifth layer of the Blood Pool was completely pure. It was purer and more transparent than any water in the world. One would truly succeed after being pushed to the brink of death. There was only this path left! Yang Dingtian clenched his teeth hard and rushed into the fifth layer of the Blood Pool! It was a layer of golden fluid... pure gold in color. It wasnt transparent, but it was extremely beautiful and intoxicating. Boom! Before Yang Dingtian could rush in, there was a powerful energy that was suddenly released and immediately blasted Yang Dingtian several meters away. Yang Dingtian tried plenty of times but was mercilessly pushed out every time. Yang Dingtian was at the end of his tether! He had no choice but to take the risk and cultivate in the fourth layer where Dugu Fengwus lower body was. He had to pray that Dugu Fengwu wouldnt awaken so quickly. Even if she was to wake up early, he prayed that she wouldnt notice him. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and decided to cultivate at the bottom of the fourth layer! He had handed over his life to the heavens and if it decided for him to die, then he would die. If the heavens allowed him to live, then he would live! Yang Dingtian gradually closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in the water. He cleared out his mind and completely forgot everything! He forgot about the demon woman, Dugu Fengwu who was in front of his eyes and he forgot about the danger that he might be killed at any moment. He forgot about the fact that he was in the nest of devils in this Temple of Blood and he even forgot about the fact that Ximen Yanyang was waiting for him to rescue her! He forgot everything and entered the meditative state for cultivation! All the mystic meridians and his qi vessel began to circulate with the Pig Slaying Sword Art mnemonic chant! Boom... Yang Dingtian felt as though a sun exploded in his heart! The golden radiance flooded through and covered everything! From interior to exterior, everything was enveloped by the golden light. Unlimited mystic qi energy surged into every single one of Yang Dingtians pore, flowing into the countless meridians, and were rapidly circulated and guided into the qi vessel! Those who had superior innate talent would be able to convert the mystic qi that flowed into the qi vessel at the ratio of 100:1. Those who had inferior innate talent might not even be able to convert the mystic qi at the ratio of 10,000:1. The stronger the mystic meridians, the faster the flow of the mystic qi and the higher the capacity of the mystic qi! In the heaven and earth, every inch of air was filled with mystic qi energy! But it was extremely thin and it was these minuscule amounts of the mystic qi that could be converted by the cultivators! The mystic qi energy in the Blood Pool was several ten thousand folds or even a hundred thousand folds more concentrated than the outside world! Hence, cultivating here for 15 minutes was equivalent to cultivating in the outside world for half a year! But the mystic qi energy was too tyrannic and every time it entered the body, the meridians would suffer devastating damage! Thus, if other experts didnt meet any mishaps or werent murdered, they would generally be able to live until the age of 140 or 150 years old. But for the experts in the Temple of Blood, they would basically find it hard to even live more than 80 years, because they were overly reliant on the Blood Pool which would cause extreme damage to their meridians when they cultivated in the Blood Pool. Which was why Yang Dingtian didnt want to rapidly breakthrough in the Blood Pool unless it was his last resort! ... The speed of the mystic qi flow got faster and faster, faster and faster! Yang Dingtian had completely gone into an altruistic state! It seemed as though his entire body, muscles, and bones had vanished. There were only his meridians and qi vessel left! His entire body had turned into an energy formation that allowed the rapid flow of qi! Yang Dingtian was a generational prodigy who had the Nine Yang Mystic Meridians! The energy rapidly surged into his mystic meridians before finally entering his qi vessel. It was actually going in at a ratio of 10:1, which was ten folds more than a regular individual with superior innate talents. His first mystic qi class breakthrough was also the qi vessel breakthrough! An endless supply of mystic qi flowed through his meridians and into his qi vessel. His qi vessel was swelling and expanding! Breakthrough, it was a single thorough burst! If it was a regular breakthrough, it would be a slower process and a process without much danger! But the breakthrough in the Blood Pool was rapid and in an instantaneous burst! It might directly cause the qi vessel to explode! Brewing, brewing! Expanding, expanding! ... Despite the fact that Yang Dingtian couldnt feel anything and was in an altruistic state, his body was beginning to shiver. The muscles on his face were starting to distort irregularly and the meridians on his body began to bulge from all the expanding. It wasnt just a bulging sensation, but it was a true bulging like a small mouse rapidly moving around in the meridians. This was a sign of a breakthrough and it was also a sign of extreme danger as well. It was a sign of the rupturing of the mystic meridians and also the explosion of the qi vessel! Subsequently, Yang Dingtians skin began to split apart, while more blood gushed out! The abdomen where Yang Dingtians qi vessel was; all the pores there were blasted open and it was drenched in fresh blood! He was already at the gates of hell and at an irreversible phase! He must either breakthrough or be destroyed! In fact, if Yang Dingtian was currently at the first or even the third layer of the Blood Pool, it wouldnt have been so dangerous. But he was in the fourth layer, a place where only Martial Supreme Class experts with eighth-grade mystic meridians could be in. In addition, this was a breakthrough of a tier and not just a class, it was a direct breakthrough from Mystic Martial Artist to Mystic Martial Warrior. It was truly the gates of hell.

The interior of Yang Dingtians qi vessel had a flash of white light and everything within his body instantly sank into nothingness! Chapter 121: Continuous Breakthrough! Demon Woman Going Berserk! Chapter 121: Continuous Breakthrough! Demon Woman Going Berserk!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Boom... The interior of Yang Dingtians qi vessel had a flash of white light, and everything within his body instantly sank into nothingness! All the mystic meridians that were flowing with mystic qi had gone into temporary stasis. Some of Yang Dingtians organs seemed to stop moving for an instant. But it was merely for an instant! Afterward, everything regained their regular activities. Yang Dingtian had broken through. He had successfully broken through from nine star Mystic Martial Artist to Mystic Martial Warrior. He succeeded after all the hardships and all the obstacles. There were times where he even threw half his life into hell and fought with the Great Devil in a battle of wits and courage. It was all for this moment. Everything he had done wasnt in vain. He had succeeded in breaking through! Right now, as compared to before, Yang Dingtian qi vessel was expanded by several folds. Of course, the volume didnt seem like there was an increase, but the capacity of mystic qi was expanded by several folds. The ability to release more mystic qi in a single moment had increased by several folds too. However, nothing stopped yet! Endless mystic qi still surged into his body in a frenzy, gushing through countless pores and flowing through his meridians before finally pouring into the qi vessel. In just a short moment, the mystic qi filled up his entire qi vessel again. Boom... There was another flash of light, and everything seemed to fall into stasis. Yang Dingtian broke through again, but compared to the previous breakthrough, this time was very subtle because it was merely a breakthrough of a single class. Yang Dingtian had progressed from initial Mystic Martial Warrior to one star Mystic Martial Warrior. However, everything remained the same and the absorption continued. Yang Dingtians body was still extremely thirsty and hungry as it devoured and absorbed the endless supply of mystic qi. For everyone, it was considered fortunate to break through a single time in the Blood Pool. There was no one else who was able to breakthrough two times like Yang Dingtian. Of course, there were a few reasons why there was such a phenomenon. Firstly, the energy in the fourth layer of the Blood Pool was too pure and too powerful. Secondly, Yang Dingtians current cultivation class was simply too low and the energies were sufficient for him to breakthrough twice as this was a place that wasnt meant for a Mystic Martial Artist. Thirdly, it was Yang Dingtians talents and his mystic meridians, which allowed him to devour such an astounding amount of mystic qi energy. Boom... Again, and again! Yang Dingtians qi vessel broke through one more time. Yang Dingtians body was like a desert, which tirelessly devoured the mystic qi like a continued rain, and strengthening him in a frenzied pace. After this breakthrough, his body merely entered the stasis for a split moment before it began to devour the concentrated and powerful energy! Just when Yang Dingtian thought that his breakthroughs were going to end... Boom... His qi vessel had a flash of white light and his body sank into nothingness again! Yang Dingtian broke through again. Finally, the frenzied devouring of the mystic qi had ended. The cultivation in the Blood Pool had ended. Because Yang Dingtians body had been completely filled up, there was no room for more. After the forceful absorption, his body felt as though it might explode at any moment. The mystic qi that he devoured was now beginning to rush around in a frenzy, resulting in a backlash to Yang Dingtians body. If the backlash was completed, all the breakthroughs that happened earlier would be nonexistent. Despite Yang Dingtian not opening his eyes, he was already awake. The first moment when Yang Dingtian awakened, he went to feel his mystic qi. It was truly much stronger. Be it within his qi vessel or his mystic meridians, it was flourishing with powerful and boundless mystic qi. Its volume was actually several times larger than the time before he cultivated in the Blood Pool. Master, could you help me to see how many classes have I broken through exactly? Yang Dingtian asked in his heart. Dongfang Niemie went to sense Yang Dingtians mystic qi. Suddenly, he was so amazed that he couldnt utter any sounds. It was only moments later before he spoke with disbelief, Are the Nine Yang Mystic Meridians truly so astounding? When other prodigies entered the Blood Pool for half a day, they might be able to breakthrough from upper-grade, nine star Mystic Martial Artist to initiate Mystic Martial Warrior. It was a breakthrough of one tier but can also be considered half a class. But you actually broke through directly from initial Mystic Martial Warrior to one star Mystic Martial Warrior, to two stars Mystic Martial Warrior and then mid-grade three star. I have never seen or even heard of such a breakthrough. It is truly incredible and unbelievable. Three star, mid-grade Mystic Martial Warrior. This meant that Yang Dingtian had broken through four classes, which had completely exceeded his original expectations. Was it truly as the saying went, The results will be equally substantial to the difficulty of the process. But this result was definitely too rewarding. The Blood Pool was truly mystical and powerful! But child, you must remember that this cultivation in the Blood Pool was your last resort. In the future, it doesnt matter what other reasons you have, you must not have the thoughts to come and cultivate in the Blood Pool again. Dongfang Niemie said, If your cultivation is assisted by the Blood Pool multiple times, you will never be able to ascend to the pinnacle. Those who overly use the Blood Pool to cultivate would have their meridians ruined by the age of 80. There is no such convenience and shortcuts in the world and everything comes with a price. I dont even know the future consequences for your rapid breakthroughs in the Blood Pool this time. No matter the case, it is better to not rely on such cultivation methods that use shortcuts. This is entirely different from the Yin Yang Devour Mystic Ritual. Yes master, I will not enter the Blood Pool for a second time, no matter how enticing it is or how astounding the effects are, Yang Dingtian promised. Good. Master believes you. You need to make haste and escape this place, you dont have much time left, Dongfang Niemie said before going back into silence. Yang Dingtian gradually opened his eyes and his body instantly warmed up, while blood nearly spurted out from his nose. Because the first thing that he saw was actually an extremely sexy butt, which was Dugu Fengwus beautiful butt. It was round like the full moon and it was less than two inches away from him. There was an extraordinarily beautiful scenery which was displayed in front of his eyes. In an instant, Yang Dingtians nose had a surge of blood that nearly shot out. How was this possible? Yang Dingtian was cultivating at the bottom of the fourth layer and was quite a few meters away from Dugu Fengwu. He did not know that Dugu Fengwus body actually sunk slowly when she cultivated. The awkward thing was that his head was actually right between her legs. Yang Dingtian didnt do it intentionally, but this was just too coincidental. The scenery was limitlessly enticing and beautiful but Yang Dingtian didnt dare to look anymore. The woman was too beautiful and her naked body was just too enchanting, which would make any man go insane. The crucial thing was that the woman was extremely vicious and ruthless, and she was numbed from all the killings. Yang Dingtian closed his eyes and quickly swam upwards. He wanted to immediately leave this place before the woman awakened, otherwise he would be dead for sure. His luck was rather good, as Dugu Fengwu didnt wake up during his cultivation. But his good luck would run out sooner or later, hence he had to leave this place as soon as possible. Once this woman woke up and under such circumstances, even if Yang Dingtian had ten thousand mouths, he wouldnt be able to reason his way out and his consequences would be bad. Yang Dingtian desperately swam, but it was too late! Dugu Fengwu suddenly opened her eyes right as Yang Dingtian was swimming out from in between her legs. Her eyes lit up brightly like the stars and had unswerving determination like a mountain. Despite so, when she saw Yang Dingtian right away, her face displayed unimaginable shock. s?a??h th? N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. She was shocked because there was actually another person that entered the Blood Pool. When she was cultivating deep in the Blood Pool, there shouldnt be a second person in here, not even the Temple Master of the Temple of Blood. Furthermore, this person was her younger sisters husband, Yan Nantian, that she caught. He was actually able to enter the fourth layer and dove even deeper than her. But the shock quickly disappeared and was replaced by extreme anger! Her spotless body was actually completely seen by a man, and this man even made his way out from between her legs. What exactly happened just now? What did he do to her? This wasnt considered much. The important thing was this man actually interrupted her cultivation at the most crucial moment of breakthrough, causing her to go berserk and suffer the backlash from the mystic qi. Right now, the mystic qi in her body was going haywire and her delicate body nearly exploded. In this instant, anger quickly turned into the bursting of killing aura and chilling intent! I do not care what you did to me, you shall die... Her beautiful eyes turned chill, while her fingers replaced her sword, thrusting at Yang Dingtian. The golden pools water which was filled with concentrated energy was actually forcefully split open. The womans finger sword was actually surrounded by vacuum, which had unstoppable qi presence and energy. The tip of her fingers was thrusting straight at Yang Dingtians heart. She was very powerful, extremely so and it was unknown how many folds more powerful she was as compared to Yang Dingtian. If this finger was to strike its target, Yang Dingtian, who was at this class, would be pulverized and turned into dust. I didnt do anything! Yang Dingtian yelled loudly, but couldnt release any sound in the water. But just as all the energy in Dugu Fengwus body burst forth, her beautiful face suddenly flushed into a flirtatious red. Afterward, there was a pfff sound. Dugu Fengwu opened up her lips and violently vomited a mouthful of fresh blood. Fresh red blood shot out like an arrow. Immediately after that, the qi presence from her finger sword vanished in an instant, as 90% of the energy was completely dissipated. The moment her mystic qi went berserk, she should have immediately controlled and suppressed her mystic qi. But, due to her anger, she burst out her mystic qi instead and wanted to kill Yang Dingtian, which made the mystic qi backlash even more severe. Yang Dingtian countered with a punch, clashing with her fingertips in the pool. Bang... There was an explosion splash. Yang Dingtian felt intense pain in his fist. His body flew backward several meters while he spat out a mouthful of blood. Because Dugu Fengwu went berserk, it dissipated 90% of her attack force. But just this 10% of power was already extremely stunning! At this moment, Dugu Fengwu no longer bothered about killing Yang Dingtian. She closed her eyes and controlled her breathing, trying her best to suppress the mystic qi which was going berserk. But it was already too late. The stronger her cultivation, the more terrifying the backlash from the mystic qi was. Pfff... Immediately after, Dugu Fengwu violently vomited a mouthful of fresh blood. She gave a final glare at Yang Dingtian which was filled with wrath and the reluctance to resign to her fate. She then completely went unconscious. Yang Dingtian let out a breath of relief. The woman was just too overwhelming and if she didnt vomit blood and fainted, Yang Dingtian would probably be toasted. Yang Dingtian truly wanted to leave her for dead. After all, this demon woman had killed countless innocent people. Moreover, in the future, she would surely pursue after Yan Nantian. But the reason she went into this berserk state was entirely due to Yang Dingtians actions, and if he was to forsake her in this Blood Pool, it wouldnt be a righteous behavior. Furthermore, if Dugu Xiao was to find out about this in the future, he would surely chase after Yang Dingtian even if it was to the corners of the world. I will pull you out of the Blood Pool. But I will not bother about your life after that, using a single hand to clench onto the womans body, Yang Dingtian desperately tried to float upwards. Soon enough, Yang Dingtian exited the fourth layer of the Blood Pool and entered the third layer! Originally when Yang Dingtian was in the third layer of the Blood Pool, he would lose all senses of his body and every inch of his skin was about to burst apart. But right now, Yang Dingtian could feel the extreme pain, but he didnt lose his senses. It was obviously because he had grown stronger. After entering the second layer of the Blood Pool, the bone piercing pain had weakened. After entering the first layer of the Blood Pool, Yang Dingtian couldnt feel any discomfort. Pfff... Yang Dingtian hugged onto this woman and burst out of the Blood Pool. Finally a breath of air, despite this air wasnt exactly fresh, but Yang Dingtian still felt very comfortable. But soon enough, he felt discomfort. Because there was a pair of eyes that was locked onto him. It was glaring at him with wrath and killing qi, like eyes of fire! The owner of these eyes was the... Fire Demon Violent Lion! It actually returned. Its eyes were bursting with rage as it fixed its eyes onto Yang Dingtian with the violent desire for slaughter. Chapter 122: Terror-Stricken Lion King! Objective, Leaving The Temple of Blood! Chapter 122: Terror-Stricken Lion King! Objective, Leaving The Temple of Blood!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Currently, the Fire Demon Violent Lion was crouching by the side of the Blood Pool and glaring at Yang Dingtian. It was unknown when it came back and what was the result of the battle with the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon? Did it kill the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon, or was the fight stopped by the people from the Temple of Blood? But right now, the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon was nowhere to be seen and the entire Temple of Blood had no one else but this Fire Demon Violent Lion that was riddled with wounds! In the battle earlier with the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon, the Fire Demon Violent Lion went into a berserk state. Once it went berserk, it would be in a weakened state for a long period of time. Right now, the lion was in that weakened state. But, there was no significance to Yang Dingtian as to whether this Fire Demon Violent Lion was weakened or not. Because a healthy Fire Demon Violent Lion was comparable with a Grandmaster class expert, but a weakened Fire Demon Violent Lion was still comparable to a Master class expert. A single claw from it was enough to obliterate Yang Dingtian. This was the territory that belonged to the Fire Demon Violent Lion and Yang Dingtian dared to barge in here as an outsider. It was definitely a path to death. The Fire Demon Violent Lion, which was over a dozen meters in height, was undoubtedly a giant being in Yang Dingtians perspective. Furthermore, its body emitted horrifying flames. The Fire Demon Violent Lion used its claw to point at the clothes by the side of Blood Pool and pointed towards Dugu Fengwu who was carried in Yang Dingtians arm. At this moment, her entire body was soaked in the concentrated Blood Pool. The lion couldnt see her body, but even if it could, it wouldnt be interested as it was only interested in female lions. Yang Dingtian took the clothes and put them on Dugu Fengwu who was in the pool previously. Afterward, the lion pointed at Dugu Fengwu and pointed to the ground. Yang Dingtian placed Dugu Fengwu on the ground. After everything was settled, the Fire Demon Violent Lions lantern-like eyes burst out with a severe flaming glare. It slowly opened its mouth as an extremely powerful sphere of flaming energy brewed within. It then quickly launched the sphere at Yang Dingtian like a missile! Once this flaming sphere hit its target, Yang Dingtian would surely disintegrate, without leaving behind even an inch of bone. It totally didnt seem like it was the Fire Demon Violent Lion asking for a favor because its mouth would never be merciful! To hell with it! Yang Dingtian had risked so much just to escape the demonic claws of this woman, but he ended up in the flaming claws of this Fire Demon Violent Lion. The price for the breakthroughs this time was just too much. Yang Dingtian wasnt a fool and definitely wouldnt go to block this horrifying blast because it was impossible. This blast was a blast of a Master class expert and it must not be withstood with a straightforward method. There was only one thing for Yang Dingtian to do and that was to flee! Fleeing wasnt humiliating, especially when facing such a powerful foe like the Fire Demon Violent Lion. Moreover, it was an unreasonable and absolutely violent opponent! Splash! Yang Dingtian suddenly turned around and dove back into the depths of the Blood Pool. He placed all the hopes on the Blood Pool to protect him. He dove into the first layer, hoping to reach the fourth layer of the Blood Pool. He hoped that the Fire Demon Violent Lion couldnt enter the Blood Pool and even if it was able to enter, due to its massive body, the Blood Pool should be enough to neutralize its horrific attack. Yang Dingtian swam through the first, second and third layer of the Blood Pool, and he was soon about to enter the fourth layer. The Fire Demon Violent Lions body shouldnt be able to enter this place. As for what should he do to escape after hiding in the fourth layer of the Blood Pool, it wasnt something that Yang Dingtian should be concerned about right now. However, just as Yang Dingtian felt safe, there were abrupt changes in the situation! Before Yang Dingtian could enter the fourth layer of the Blood Pool, there was an overwhelming energy that dragged Yang Dingtian Roar... The Fire Demon Violent Lion let out a low roar. It could actually grab Yang Dingtian out of the Blood Pool through the air. Its strength was really astoundingly powerful. It raised the razor-sharp claw which was fuming with fire and abruptly slashed at Yang Dingtians head! It was a terrifying demonic beast, which was cruel and feisty, and this attack from it was definitely without any reserve! Of course, facing an ant-like human, it didnt even use 10% of its power. Swish! Yang Dingtian rapidly drew out the Night Owl Strange Blade from his spatial ring and fought with everything he had. Despite knowing that he was a far cry from the Fire Demon Violent Lion, it wasnt his style to fall without a fight. Boom... There was a loud echo when the lions claw slammed on the Night Owl Strange Blade. It originally thought that the ugly giant sword would be turned into mush immediately. Its claw had nearly surpassed any of the metallic materials in this world in terms of toughness and sharpness. Let alone the fact that the claw was covered with mystic qi, this meant that it was absolutely indestructible. But, the result made the Fire Demon Violent Lion shocked. The ugly giant sword actually remained intact and it was its claw that had a crack in it. How was it possible? Its impossible! The Fire Demon Violent Lion had experienced countless battles and its indestructible claws had never been damaged once. This time, it was facing an ant-like human and it actually hurt its own claw. Of course, Yang Dingtian was in worse condition. When the lions claw crashed towards the Night Owl Strange Blade, he instantly felt the energy pressing on him like a mountain. The Night Owl Strange Blade was immediately knocked away while his body trembled, and he vomited a mouthful of fresh blood. His entire body was in extreme pain, especially his arms which felt as though every inch of them were broken and had turned into dust. Of course, this was just his feeling. If the Night Owl Strange Blade had been disarmed, it wouldnt just be broken arms that Yang Dingtian would be suffering. His entire body would be instantly turned into dust and squashed into a pile of meat pulp. Despite all these, the Fire Demon Violent Lion merely used 10% of its strength. After its sharp claw was damaged, the lion was instantly enraged and let out a roar. Boom... It was just like an ultrasonic weapon. As the Fire Demon Violent Lion let out an enraged roar which shook the ground, there was a ray of blinding light that shaved off a giant stone slab, which was over tens of thousands of kilograms, from the extremely hard stone walls. At the same time, the giant stones on the surface of the ground had all burst up one after another. This Fire Demon Violent Lion actually had such power! Yang Dingtian was appalled to see all these. After expressing its rage with a demonstration of prowess, the lion looked at its damaged claw and it was extremely angered. Thats right. You are merely an ant, but you made me angry. I am going to use my full strength and turn you into a pile of flesh pulp in order to appease the hatred in my heart, the Fire Demon Violent Lion spoke in a deep and angered voice. It then raised its sharp claw high up and vigorously struck down. As the sharp claw ripped the air, there was a burst of blue light that was just like lightning. It swung down with the intention to rip Yang Dingtians chest, and instantly turning him into a pile of flesh pulp. Yang Dingtian was currently wearing the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes, but it was useless. It might be able to withstand an attack from an expert that was over ten classes stronger than Yang Dingtian, but it wasnt enough to block against an attack from the Grandmaster class Fire Demon Violent Lion. Even if there wasnt any mystic qi and just pure physical strength, the lions claw was enough to kill Yang Dingtian from the impact. Such absolute treasure like the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes was of no practical use towards a Grandmaster class expert, even though it was a weakened Grandmaster class expert. Bang! The tip of the Fire Demon Violent Lions claw directly pierced towards Yang Dingtians chest. But, Yang Dingtian wasnt turning to flesh pulp, he didnt even suffer any damage, even though the lions claw was pressed on top of his chest. It wasnt because the Fire Demon Violent Lion was merciful, but it was blocked. It wasnt blocked by the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes, but by something else. What is that thing? What is that thing you are wearing? The Fire Demon Violent Lion struggled to speak in a human voice. Despite the fact that it had cultivated for hundreds of years, speaking the human language was still a great challenge and it was still far away from being able to assimilate a human force. Yang Dingtian instantly recalled the Teardrop Necklace, the necklace that Ximen Ningning helped him to wear before he departed. This thing was perhaps the most precious item that belonged to Ximen Ningning and it was also the most mysterious item. He never would have expected for the Teardrop Necklace to be so powerful that it could even block against the Fire Demon Violent Lions full strength attack. Teardrop Necklace?! The Fire Demon Violent Lion was surging with mystic qi in a frenzy as it wanted to rip Yang Dingtian into pieces. A flame-like mist burned Yang Dingtians chest, which suddenly revealed that Teardrop Necklace, displaying its magnificent brilliance. When the Fire Demon Violent Lion saw the Teardrop Necklace, it was as though it was struck by lightning and was completely petrified. Inconceivable, unimaginable, fear, worship, terror, shock! All of those emotions burst out from its eyes. I didnt see it, I didnt see it, I didnt see it... I will go and forget it, forget it... All of a sudden, the Fire Demon Violent Lion that went into a rage previously, started to cry out over a dozen times that I didnt see it, and it screamed out these words very clearly. Immediately after, it abruptly closed its eyes and fled without a trace. As it dashed in a straight path, it crashed and broke countless giant boulders, running directly out of the Blood Pools cave and leaving its territory! A demonic beast would normally guard their territory with its life than to abandon it. The lion went out to have a fight to the death with the flood dragon earlier. But now, when the lion saw this Teardrop Necklace, it had actually forsaken its territory and immediately fled because it didnt want to see this thing. What exactly was this Teardrop Necklace? It could actually force a Grandmaster class demonic beast to flee in defeat. It had obviously seen it, but it was desperately trying to forget about it. What kind of magic did this necklace have? Yang Dingtian reached out to feel the Teardrop Necklace, which instantly revealed its shape. It was magnificent and had a pure sparkle. But Yang Dingtian couldnt feel any energy from it and just felt that it was icy cold to touch. He didnt have time to think about such things and time was of the essence. He had to leave this place immediately. Yang Dingtian ran out quickly, but when he suddenly recalled Dugu Fengwu, and involuntarily looked over at where she was laying. She was still unconscious and there was a pile of clothing by her side, which had a bone sculpted token. It should be the Blood Token and those who possessed it could enter the Blood Pool to cultivate. After hesitating for a moment, Yang Dingtian went over to carry her and brought along all her belongings at the same time, while running rapidly out of the cave. The stone tunnel, which was a few thousand meters in diameter, was currently in a complete disorder. There was fresh blood, char, and cracks in every corner. Countless giant boulders had collapsed and it was clear signs of how intense the fight between the lion and the flood dragon was. In the corner of the middle portion of the stone tunnel, Yang Dingtian could see the Fire Demon Violent Lion crouching on the ground and cowering into a lump. It constantly chanted, I didnt see anything, I didnt see anything, I want to forget it, I want to forget it... The current Fire Demon Violent Lion couldnt even sense Yang Dingtian approaching it. Hey, Yang Dingtian spoke. The Fire Demon Violent Lion abruptly stood up and turned around, instantly bumping and cracking the stone wall, while countless rocks fell and crashed onto its body. But it didnt feel anything and looked at Yang Dingtian while struggling to urge in human language, You should go quickly, go quickly, go quickly. Dont let me see you, quick quick quick... S~?a??h the N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian said, I need a favor from you, to not say what you have seen. I didnt see anything, I didnt see anything. I will not say it even if I have to die, I will not say it even if I have to die... The Fire Demon Violent Lion mumbled to itself. Yang Dingtian nodded and continued carrying Dugu Fengwu out of the cave. Right now, there were still 58 hours before the duel to the death with Qin Shaobai. Soon enough, Yang Dingtian left the giant cave and climbed up using the rope. But, Yang Dingtian suddenly stopped moving, because he felt something very abnormal. Yes, abnormal. The battle between the Fire Demon Violent Lion and the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon should have been alarming. Even though they were far away, how could the members of the Temple of Blood not notice it? How could there not be any response? Right now, there wasnt even a single shadow on the stone pavement, and the entire back of Mt. Ten Thousand Blood was empty. Wasnt this abnormal? It was impossible for the Temple of Blood to be unconcerned about the battle between the Fire Demon Violent Lion and the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon! Thus, Yang Dingtian carried that half-naked Dugu Fengwu and went back a few hundred meters into the cave. He found a secluded place and temporarily hid her before covering her with the clothes. He hesitated for a moment before he took the Blood Token and put it into his pocket. After doing all this, Yang Dingtian went out again and climbed up using the rope. After climbing for one thousand meters and turning many corners, Yang Dingtian was back at Dugu Aoshuangs little house. Just as he was to take a step in, he suddenly stopped. Logically, Dugu Aoshuang should be feeling rather anxious right now and she should be waiting in the courtyard outside. But the courtyard was currently empty. The lights in the little house were brightly lit. It has been more than half a day and Yang Dingtian is not back yet. He has either fled or perished. He is not coming back, It was a voice that suddenly came into Yang Dingtians ear, and caused him to shudder. He could feel the chill from the interior and all the way to the exterior of his body. This was the Temple of Bloods Temple Master, Dugu Xiaos voice, the voice of the Great Devil. Afterward, he could see through the window that a figure drew a sharp sword and placed it on the womans neck. This woman had an enchanting figure, which was definitely Dugu Aoshuang. You are my daughter, but you betrayed the Temple of Blood. You actually betrayed your father for a member of the prestigious sect. You have to die. The Temple Master spoke indifferently, Of course, it is because you are my daughter. Before I clean up my household, I will take pity on you and agree to let you see him one final time. But, he didnt come back and he never will. So you can die in peace now. No wonder there wasnt a single individual that was standing on guard on the entire stone pavement. It was because the Temple Master was waiting for Yang Dingtian. There was no road towards heaven and no doors to hell in this place. It was truly a desperate situation. Things would have ended if Yang Dingtian was to die in the Blood Pool. But if he wanted to escape, he had to ask Dugu Aoshuang for help. Which was why the Temple Master was waiting here for Yang Dingtian. In an instant, Yang Dingtian had to pick between two choices. The first choice... He could treat it as though nothing had happened and walked away. It didnt matter if he couldnt escape, at least he wouldnt be venturing into the devilish claws of the Temple Master. Despite the fact that Yang Dingtian promised Dugu Aoshuang that he would return to see her, as long as he wasnt dead. The second choice... to fulfill the promise to Dugu Aoshuang and ignore the terrors of the Temple Master. To walk into the little house and fall into the devilish claws of the Temple Master. Yang Dingtian sighed in his heart and shouted inside, Throw me a piece of clothing. I am currently naked and very indecent. He made the second choice! In fact, with Dugu Xiaos cultivation, the instance when Yang Dingtian walked out of the cave, he should already have been noticed. Ah... Dugu Aoshuang exclaimed on the inside and suddenly rushed out. You are really back? Why did you come back? You must run away quickly, and run as far as possible, Dugu Aoshuang was screaming at Yang Dingtian with a sharp voice. Give me a piece of clothing, Yang Dingtian asked again. Dugu Aoshuang instantly cried and turned around to find a piece of clothing for Yang Dingtian. In her heart, she knew that it was impossible for Yang Dingtian to escape from her fathers eyes now. Shortly after, Dugu Aoshuang brought out a piece of clothing and Yang Dingtian realized that she was currently wearing a veil, only revealing her enchanting waist and the curves of her figure. What should we do? What should we do? Dugu Aoshuang cried in a soft voice, You silly fool. Why didnt you run when you saw my father? His sword was placed on your neck, Yang Dingtian replied. He was just putting on a show for you. I am still his daughter and it isnt likely that he will do it. Dugu Aoshuang said, If he was truly going to kill me, he will still do it after you turn out. Even if I didnt speak out, how am I going to escape? He must have already noticed me when I was over a thousand meters from your little house. Yang Dingtian said, Your father was waiting here because he totally disregards me in terms of martial strength. He knew that even if I was able to walk out of the Blood Pools cave alive, I will not be able to escape Mt. Ten Thousand Blood without your help. Now what should we do? Dugu Aoshuang said, Why not we do it like this? No matter what conditions he raises, you will agree to it first. Guarantee the safety of your life first and wait for Dugu Fengwu to return. We might have a chance for survival. Dugu Fengwu? Yang Dingtian suddenly recalled the alluring and bare naked body, but he didnt put any hopes on that woman. Once she regained her consciousness, the first thing she would do was to draw her sword and kill him. Yang Dingtian indifferently nodded and wore his clothes properly before going in. Next, Yang Dingtian had to use the shortest amount of time to escape from Dugu Xiaos devilish clutches, get out from the Temple of Blood and return to Cloud Heaven City. He didnt have the confidence, but he had to do it! Even though he had the ultimate secret weapon on him, which was the Teardrop Necklace. If it was able to make the Fire Demon Violent Lion terror-stricken, it should have the same effect on Dugu Xiao. But, unless Dugu Xiao was going to kill him immediately, Yang Dingtian would definitely not use it. The time left before the duel with Qin Shaobai, was approximately 57 hours. This place was around 3500 kilometers away from Cloud Heaven City. He had to escape the Temple of Blood in three or four hours! Chapter 123: Escape! Chapter 123: Escape!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Walking into Dugu Aoshuangs little house... The Temple Master of the Temple of Blood was currently seated at the hosts seat. Yang Dingtian pays his respects to the Temple Master, Yang Dingtian bowed slightly and saluted. Arent you even going to address me as father-in-law? The Temple Master asked in a cold tone. Dugu Aoshuang is Dugu Aoshuang, while you are you, Yang Dingtian replied. The eyes of the Temple Master was filled with a sneer, while his mouth revealed a ruthless smile as he said, Among all the opponents who had a battle of spirit with me, you are the only one who has won. To be victorious against me is truly impressive. Up until now, I still cannot believe that you are actually able to defeat me in a battle of spirit. Yang Dingtian stood there silently, neither was he modest nor was he proud. The Temple Master didnt ask Yang Dingtian about how he realized that he was in a spirit trap, or how Yang Dingtian knew that he was only in the prison for three days and not half a month. In order to enter the Blood Pool to cultivate, you actually enticed the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon to invade the Fire Demon Violent Lions territory and allowed two formidable demonic beasts to have a deathmatch. Afterward, you took the opportunity to enter the Blood Pool to cultivate. It is truly a great plan. You have cultivated for a few hours, did you successfully breakthrough? The Temple Master asked. I did successfully breakthrough. I thank the Temple Master for asking, Yang Dingtian replied. The Temple Master, Dugu Xiao, asked again, Right now, the Fire Demon Violent Lion should have returned back to its territory. When you came out of the Blood Pool, how did you escape the Blood Pool and not get torn into pieces by the lion? Yang Dingtian took out a token, the Blood Token, which was sculpted by bones. This token. I shall return it to you, Yang Dingtian stated. This token. Where did you get it? The Temple Master asked in a cold voice. I picked it up, it was by the rocks of the Blood Pool, Yang Dingtian answered. You are rather fortunate. The Temple Master said, I originally thought that you would die under the claws of the Fire Demon Violent Lion. Apart from the Blood Token, what else did you see? The Temple Master asked coldly while watching Yang Dingtian intently. He wanted to know whether if Yang Dingtian encountered Dugu Fengwu. Of course, he felt that it was impossible because Dugu Fengwu was cultivating in the fourth layer and Yang Dingtian wouldnt be able to enter the fourth layer even if he was to die. A pile of clothes. Mens clothes, Yang Dingtian answered honestly. The Temple Masters brows instantly unloosened as he smiled and asked, You have already cheated me and have successfully broken through in the Blood Pool. You were left with the final step of escaping, but landed back in my hands again. All your efforts are in vain. What do you plan to do? I shall resign to my fate, do whatever it takes and responded according to the situation, Yang Dingtian replied. Do you want to live? Do you want to escape? The Temple Master asked. Yes, Yang Dingtian responded. The Temple Master let out a faint smile and said, You beat me and became my son-in-law, so I have to give you preferential treatment. I have two choices for you, as long as you can do it, I will let you leave. Yang Dingtian didnt have any hint of relaxation. The man in front of him was a devil and he must never let down his guard. Id like to hear the details, Yang Dingtian asked. The Temple Master stated, For the first choice, I will let you run immediately and I will even give you a bat to ride on. You can ride this bat beast and escape in any direction you want. Furthermore, this bat will not reserve itself and will coordinate with you during the escape, because that will be my order. But you will only have one hour to escape. Once the hour is up, I will send out a formidable army of thousands, and I will also set off personally to capture you. The bat demonic beast will throw you off the sky no matter where you are at after the one hour is over. Then, what about the second choice? Yang Dingtian asked. The second choice... The Temple Master asked, You went through all those hardships to enter the Blood Pool and cultivate. All for defeating Qin Shaobai? Yes, Yang Dingtian replied. Then, what cultivation stage is Qin Shaobai at now? The Temple Master asked. On the surface, he is a nine-star Mystic Martial Warrior, but he should have already broken through to the Mystic Martial Master, Yang Dingtian explained. Dugu Xiao said, Broken through to the Mystic Martial Master right? Thats fine. I will pick a Mystic Martial Master who has just broken through in the Temple of Blood. You will have a duel to the death with him, the winner will live and the loser shall die. If you can beat the Mystic Martial Master, it proves there is a meaning for you to hurry to duel Qin Shaobai. If you are to lose, then you shall die and there is no need to go anymore. This is your second choice... to have a duel to the death with a Mystic Martial Master that has just newly promoted. The winner will live and the loser shall die. The two choices had both been explained. The first choice was to let Yang Dingtian have a one hour headstart and then the Temple of Blood would send men to capture him. The second choice was to fight a Mystic Martial Master who has just promoted. If Yang Dingtian won, he could walk away. The first choice was like a game of cat and mouse, which would torment Yang Dingtian sufficiently. The second choice was a game of life and death. Dugu Aoshuang was looking at Yang Dingtian with anxiety and concern. She truly didnt know which choice Yang Dingtian was going to pick, but she didnt want Yang Dingtian to pick the second choice. I will pick the second choice, Yang Dingtian suddenly replied. No, Dugu Aoshuang spoke in a sad voice. Because the second choice was a game of life and death. Yang Dingtian had to fight with a Mystic Martial Master and if he lost, it would be death. Yang Dingtian was currently a three-star Mystic Martial Warrior, and he was seven classes away from the Mystic Martial Master. Are you certain that you will pick the second choice? Dugu Xiao asked. I am certain, Yang Dingtian responded. Good. I will let you fulfill your great admiration and obstinance. The Temple Master laughed grimly. The duel will begin in two hours at midday, which is the auspicious time for blood and murder. Yang Dingtian didnt deny and laughed. Men, Dugu Xiao stood up and spoke. In an instant, more then a dozen black-robed warriors appeared from the darkness. Each one of them had their faces covered and were wielding curved blades. Follow Yang Dingtian closely. He can go anywhere and do anything apart from leaving Mt. Ten Thousand Blood. What you need to do is to be within a one meter radius from his side. The Temple Master gave his orders coldly, Two hours later, send him to the dueling ground. Yes! All the black-robed warriors yelled out coldly in unison and in a numbed manner. It was grim and there werent any emotions at all. Afterward, Dugu Xiao looked at Yang Dingtian and said, These black-robed warriors are each more than ten folds stronger in terms of cultivation. If you want to escape, you can try. There are still two hours before the duel and you can explore anywhere you want. You can also have an intimate time with Dugu Aoshuang. In short... enjoy your last two hours. Finishing his statement, the Temple Master turned and left. Afterward, the black-robed warriors all stepped forward and surrounded Yang Dingtian. They didnt allow more than one meter gap between them. Right now, there was still 55 hours before the duel with Qin Shaobai. Under the entrapment of the black-robed warriors, Yang Dingtian and Dugu Aoshuang slowly strolled in Mt. Ten Thousand Blood. S~?a??h the N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The entire Mt. Ten Thousand Blood was extremely malevolent and there wasnt any scenery at all, but it could only be described as odd. Furthermore, there was a wickedness and a mysterious vibe that the Evil Dao had. Why didnt you pick the first choice? Why did you pick the second choice? Why did you choose the most dangerous choice? Dugu Aoshuang asked. Yang Dingtian laughed and said, Actually, it didnt matter which one I pick. It will be the same. Your father doesnt have any intention to let me go. He is just playing with me, tormenting me, just like a cat which doesnt immediately kill a mouse after capturing it. The cat just wants to play until it is contented, until the mouse is in despair. Previously in the prison, he had already lost to me in the battle of spirits, do you think he will let me go? Then what should we do? Dugu Aoshuang asked urgently. Spend our last two hours and dont think about anything else. Yang Dingtian asked, When I was at the Blood Pool earlier, I went through a hellish experience. Are you interested in going there with me? Dugu Aoshuang instinctively shook her head as she truly didnt have any mood for playing right now. But once she saw Yang Dingtians eyes, she still instinctively nodded. Hence, the two of them climbed down the rope and walked towards the cave of the Blood Pool. The tunnel was a few kilometers long, and Yang Dingtian walked quickly. Because of the fight between the two formidable demonic beasts, the tunnel was in a miserable state and even the worried Dugu Aoshuang revealed an expression of curiosity. But those black-robed warriors treated it as though they didnt see anything. Their eyes were locked closely on Yang Dingtian. They looked uninterested in nothing of the outside world and they were just like robots. Yang Dingtian walked faster and deeper towards the Blood Pool. Dugu Aoshuang followed behind and involuntarily revealed a trace of doubt. She wondered what exactly was Yang Dingtians plan. In the middle portion of the tunnel was where Yang Dingtian hid the beautiful woman. Dugu Aoshuang, who was being a nervous wreck, didnt notice it, and the black-robed warriors were simply unconcerned for anything in the tunnel that they were walking in. As they approached the territory of the Fire Demon Violent Lion, Dugu Aoshuang reminded. Right ahead in the territory of the Fire Demon Violent Lion. It would be dangerous for anyone to approach without the Blood Token. The Fire Demon Violent will rip us into pieces. Dont worry. It will be fine. Yang Dingtian asked, Thats right. Are these Bat Blood Guards like killing machines and will only follow orders? Dont they have their own emotions? Dugu Aoshuang didnt know why Yang Dingtian asked this question, but she just nodded. When they were around over one hundred meters away from the gates of the Blood Pool, which was the territory of the Fire Demon Violent Lion, Yang Dingtian suddenly stopped and patted Dugu Aoshuangs shoulder and said, You stay here. Why? Dugu Aoshuang asked. Dont ask why. Just do as I ask. Yang Dingtian said, Believe me and just do as I ask. This statement clearly showed that Yang Dingtian was having ill-intentions. If it was someone smart, they would have killed Yang Dingtian right now. But, the black-robed warriors treated it as though they didnt hear anything and while their sharp eyes continued to follow Yang Dingtian. As long as Yang Dingtian didnt go out of their range of sight, they wouldnt bother with what he was going to do or say. This was the order of the Temple Master. They were the Bat Blood Guards and their duty was to obey the orders of the Temple Master. Obey, obey and obey... absolute obedience. Even if they had to climb a mountain of daggers, enter a sea of fire or even enter the depths of hell. After asking Dugu Aoshuang to remain in place, Yang Dingtian walked straight towards the Blood Pools cave, straight to the Fire Demon Violent Lions territory. All the Bat Blood Guards didnt have any hesitation as they followed him closely. Soon enough, the Fire Demon Violent Lion noticed that this group of people might be trespassers. Its massive body suddenly stood up, while its eyes shot out the glare of warning and anger as it opened up its ferocious mouth. It was obvious that once they stepped into its territory, it would immediately begin the slaughter. Suddenly, Yang Dingtian increased his speed and dashed into the cave of the Blood Pool. No! Dugu Aoshuang exclaimed and began to run and tried to catch up. The Bat Blood Guards didnt have any signs of hesitation, nor did they feel nervous or fluster. No matter how fast Yang Dingtian ran, they would keep up with the speed and maintain a three meters gap between them and Yang Dingtian. In just a short moment, Yang Dingtian was about to pass through the gates and trespass the Fire Demon Violent Lions territory. Five meters, four meters, three meters, two meters, one meter... Yang Dingtian, no! Dugu Aoshuang yelled out frantically. Yang Dingtian leaped and rushed right in. Dugu Aoshuang closed her eyes and didnt dare to witness how the Fire Demon Violent Lion was going to rip Yang Dingtian alive. Furthermore, in her opinion, this tragedy was definitely going to happen because Yang Dingtian didnt have the Blood Token anymore. For anyone that entered the Blood Pool without the Blood Token, the Fire Demon Violent Lion would kill them without mercy. Even if it was the Temple Master who barged in as this demonic beast didnt recognize any human. The Fire Demon Violent Lion was extremely powerful and a single claw was enough to turn Yang Dingtian into a pulp of flesh. But soon enough, something happened that shocked Dugu Aoshuang. After venturing into the Fire Demon Violent Lions territory, it actually didnt attack Yang Dingtian. The powerful demonic beast merely roared at Yang Dingtian with rage. Despite the fact that it was enraged, it ultimately didnt attack. What is going on? How can this be possible? Dugu Aoshuang was surprised. Could the Fire Demon Violent Lion have a change of heart after the battle with the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon? Yang Dingtian continued to walk inside and he was already more than three meters passed the stone gates. Without any hesitation and without any fear, the first Bat Blood Guard followed in and stepped through the stone gate, trespassing the territory of the Fire Demon Violent Lion as though he didnt know that this was the lions territory. Roar... The Fire Demon Violent Lion was enraged when it saw that there was someone else who dared to trespass in its territory? Courting death. In an instant, it immediately pounced and slammed with its claws! The Bat Blood Guard drew the curved blade and vigorously cleaved at the Fire Demon Violent Lion. He acted decisively and ruthlessly as though this was not a Grandmaster class demonic beast, rather it was a regular giant feline. Boom! There was a giant echo while blood mist dispersed in all directions. The first Bat Blood Guard was instantly turned into a pulp of flesh, while his bones turned into dust, vanishing from everyones sight. Despite predicting to see this scene, Yang Dingtian was still slightly shocked by this appalling scene. But, what came next was even more shocking and more surprising. The second, third and fourth Bat Blood Guards still walked through the stone gates, trespassing the Fire Demon Violent Lions territories one after another. They were truly unaware of what fear and death were. They didnt pause, they didnt panic as though they were queuing up to enter the library, entering one by one. All of them obviously saw how the first Bat Blood Guard got slapped into a pulp of flesh, but they still queued up to line up for death. The Fire Demon Violent Lion was stunned, but it got even more enraged as it felt that it had been looked down on. Roar... Let out another enraged roar, it vigorously slammed its claws down again. The second Bat Blood Guard drew the curved blade to block with exact same motions as the first Bat Blood Guard. The result was also exactly the same, as the second Bat Blood Guard was turned into a pulp of flesh. Then it was the third, fourth and fifth. Every one of them had the same motion, as though they were the same person. Drawing their swords trying to resist like a mantis against a truck. Immediately after that, they would be turned into a pulp of flesh by the claws of the Fire Demon Violent Lion. Just like that, everyone lined up for death in an orderly fashion. Not only were Yang Dingtian and Dugu Aoshuang speechless, even the Fire Demon Violent Lion was also stupefied. When the final Bat Blood Guard walked in, it raised its claws while it slightly trembled. It obviously was numbed to killing humans, but it actually found it hard to swing this claw down. Hur, it is just a foolish human. Killing them all is the right thing to do. The Fire Demon Violent Lion roared with rage and slammed abruptly. The final Bat Blood Guard had been turned into a pulp of flesh. In less than three minutes, all the formidable Bat Blood Guards had been wiped out. Yang Dingtian used a very simple method to kill all of them. But in Yang Dingtians heart, he didnt have any satisfaction as there was only sorrow and shock. Thats right, Yang Dingtian had agreed to take the second choice proposed by the Temple master, to duel with a newly promoted Mystic Martial Master. He was a man who kept his promises, but he wasnt pedantic. He knew the Temple Master very well and putting aside the fact that whether Yang Dingtian, who was a three-star Mystic Martial Warrior, was able to defeat a newly promoted Mystic Martial Master. Even if Yang Dingtian was to achieve victory in the end, the Temple Master wouldnt keep his promise and let Yang Dingtian go. It was necessary to talk about trust with a man that kept his promise. But to talk about trust with a man that went against his promise, that wasnt nobility, it would be foolishness instead. Hence, Yang Dingtiang didnt pick any of the choices. He only had one thought, which was to find a way to escape. Right now, there were still 53 hours before the duel with Qin Shaobai. After killing everyone, the Fire Demon Violent Lion turned around and went back to its giant bed. Its back was facing Yang Dingtian as though it couldnt even see Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian ignored the Fire Demon Violent Lion and walked out. As soon as he walked out of the stone gates, the lions body leaned forward and it gradually closed its eyes, pretending to be asleep. Yang Dingtian went forward and held Dugu Aoshuangs hand, which was icy cold. Lets go then, Yang Dingtian said. Dugu Aoshuang looked at Yang Dingtian with disbelief and asked, Why didnt the Fire Demon Violent Lion kill you? Yang Dingtian replied, This is a secret between the two of us. Lets go, I still have a request for you. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian held onto Dugu Aoshuangs hand and walked forward. Dugu Aoshuang seemed to still be in a shock and had yet to recover, she just followed Yang Dingtian like a stunned person, while she would look at Yang Dingtian with complicated eyes from time to time. It was because she was a member of the Temple of Blood and Yang Dingtian had just killed the people from the Temple of Blood. Hence, her heart and emotions were in a complete disorder. Soon enough, Yang Dingtian led Dugu Aoshuang to the place where he hid Dugu Fengwu. He looked into her eyes and said, Shuanger, no matter what you see next, do not be surprised and do not doubt me. Okay? Despite all the doubts in Dugu Aoshuangs heart, she still obediently nodded. Yang Dingtian walked over to the corner and shifted away from the obstacle. Immediately, an alluring scent of the body permeated, revealing an absolute beauty who was half-naked. Her body was simply wrapped with an inner skirt before being covered by some clothes. Most of her fair white and tempting body was still exposed. Sister? Dugu Aoshuang cried out in surprise and immediately bent over. Dugu Aoshuang helped this beautiful person up and saw that her gorgeous face was miserably pale without any blood. There were still traces of blood on the corner of her mouth. She immediately turned to ask Yang Dingtian, Yang Dingtian, what... what did you do to her? Yang Dingtian replied, I didnt do anything. Dugu Aoshuang asked again, Then why is she like this? Yang Dingtian explained, A few hours ago, after the Fire Demon Violent Lion was in a battle with the Eight-Headed Demon Flood Dragon, I entered the cave and jumped into the Blood Pool to cultivate. But I didnt expect to see a naked woman when I entered the fourth layer of the Blood Pool. That woman was Dugu Fengwu and she closed her eyes, she was in engrossed in her cultivation and didnt have any reaction. After I finished my cultivation, I immediately wanted to leave the Blood pool. But right at that moment, she suddenly awakened and noticed me, wanting to kill me. But she went berserk and fainted... Yang Dingtian explained the details of the situation. Is she going to die? Dugu Aoshuang asked. She wont. Her meridians suffered injuries and I have already let her consumed the best elixir. It is even better than the elixir that I consumed. I believe that after a period of time, she will be fine, Yang Dingtian replied. He didnt tell any lie as he did make Dugu Fengwu consume the sixth grade Saint Spirit Elixir that Ningning gave to him. This elixir was something that Yang Dingtian didnt consume even when he suffered grievous injuries. Dugu Aoshuang hesitated for a long time and couldnt help but asked again, Then you didnt do anything to her? Why is she entirely naked? I didnt hear that it was a must to strip when entering the Blood Pool? Furthermore, she is so beautiful, which man in the world can resist her temptation? I did nothing. The first three layers of the Blood Pool dont require the removal of clothes, but once in the fourth layer, even if you are wearing clothes, all of the material possessions on the body would disintegrate instantly. Hence, the cultivator must be naked in the fourth layer of the Blood Pool. Yang Dingtian then stated, Moreover, your sister is so vicious and ruthless. Despite she has unparalleled beauty, I have always maintained a respectful distance. Dugu Aoshuang lowered her head for a moment and spoke gently, I trust you! Immediately after, Dugu Aoshuang began to tidy up Dugu Fengwus clothes. Yang Dingtian was in a hurry earlier, hence Shuanger had to take the clothes off and helped Dugu Fengwu to wear it properly. Yang Dingtian quickly turned around. Soon enough, Dugu Aoshuang stripped off every piece of clothing on her sister and intentionally or otherwise secretly inspected Dugu Fengwus body. Ah... Suddenly Dugu Aoshuang exclaimed and spoke in a shaking voice, Yang Dingtian. You, you still said you did nothing. How could you do this... Yang Dingtian was surprised and couldnt help but asked, What did I do? You still said you didnt do anything to my sister. Take a look yourself, Dugu Aoshuang spoke in a weeping voice. Yang Dingtian turned around, an extremely bright and extremely tempting scene came into his view. Dugu Aoshuang had taken everything off her sister and opened up her two legs. Dugu Fengwus most private area was displayed to Yang Dingtian in a completely exposed position. It was pink and snow white, flawless, pure and holy to the extremity. However, it was also this flawless and most beautiful private part which had fresh blood flowing out from the body, and trickling off the snow-white thighs onto the ground. There was a bright red bloodstain that remained on the snow-white mple thighs. It was especially breathtaking, like a picture scroll. But, when did Yang Dingtian had the time to admire this beautiful picture scroll? He was looked at the bright red stain unbelievably which was truly flowing out from the private part of her body. Shuangers tears immediately gushed out, while she looked at Yang Dingtian with disbelief and criticized, How... how could you do something so beastly? She is my sister! At this moment, Yang Dingtian wasnt going to clear up his sins even if he was to jump into the Yellow River. How did this happen? Yang Dingtian didnt do any violating acts to Dugu Fengwu and there was no one else who did it either. Because when Yang Dingtian was hiding Dugu Fengwu, there was no one else in the cave. Furthermore, the giant boulder which was blocking her had no signs of it being shifted at all. There were only two explanations. Either Yang Dingtian was too rough when he was carrying her and accidentally pulled at her private part, causing the layer of pure membrane to be torn. Either that or when the Fire Demon Violent Lion was berserk, its violent and frenzied movements caused one of the shards to accidentally damage Dugu Fengwus beautiful private part, causing her lower body to bleed. These were only these two explanations. Yang Dingtian immediately explained these two possibilities. Impossible. Dugu Aoshuang who had always been innocent and delicate was now revealing her paranoid and extreme side of her character. Her eyes were filled with blood vessels as she said, It is you. My sister is so beautiful and so captivating. How could you withstand it? When she had no way to resist, you must have tainted her. Looking at her eyes, Yang Dingtian knew that all his explanations were useless. Dugu Aoshuang grew up in a special environment and even though she was innocent and kind, she was extremely stubborn as well. Once she assumed something, she would not change her way of thinking. He instantly took a deep breath and said, I shall not explain anymore. You can choose whether to believe me or not. There isnt enough time. Let us wear her clothes properly and bring her to your small house. We have to leave immediately afterward. Because you betrayed your father, he will not let you off. No, I would rather die than leave with you. Dugu Aoshuang spoke agitatedly, You should hurry up and go. Leave immediately. I do not want to see you any longer. Leave now... The current Dugu Aoshuang seemed to be a little hysterical. Yang Dingtian wanted to try and convince her again, but unexpectedly, Dugu Aoshuang took out a white skeleton whistle and pretended that she was about to blow into it. You go immediately, or else I will blow the whistle and you will never be able to leave, Dugu Aoshuangs voice trembled. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, I will still fulfill my promise and search for a way to restore your looks. No matter if the scales on your body is a lethal poison or if it is a type of special race. My promise to you will not change, I will be back to give you an explanation. No, you dont need to come anymore. I never want to see you again, Dugu Aoshuang spoke with a cold voice. Yang Dingtian bent deeply and said, Then please take care. Afterward, Yang Dingtian took off his clothes and wore Dugu Fengwus clothes. Dugu Fengwu was wearing dashing mens clothes, which were white embroidered robes with golden threadings and looked especially grandeur. Her height seemed to be around the same as Yang Dingtian, hence the clothes were rather well-fitted for Yang Dingtian. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian wore Dugu Fengwus golden mask and the jade ornament that only Dugu Fengwu had on her waist. For an instant, it was hard to tell that Yang Dingtian was the fake Dugu Fengwu. Yang Dingtian stored the Night Owl Strange Blade in the spatial ring and equipped Dugu Fengwus artifact sword and exited the cave with rapid speed. While looking at the back view of Yang Dingtian leaving, Shuanger instantly cried loudly and as she cried, she helped Dugu Fengwu to wear Yang Dingtians clothes. Yang Dingtian, I hate you. But I still love you. I chased you away because I do not wish to implicate you! Just as Yang Dingtian walked out of the cave, countless bows, crossbows, and weapons were all aimed at him. Hundreds of experts from the Temple of Blood were riding on aerial beasts and wielding weapons, surrounding Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian didnt move and just stood there indifferently, slightly tilting his head upwards, looking at everyone with an arrogant and look of disdain. When all the experts from the Temple of Blood saw that it was Dugu Fengwu that came out, they all dismounted their aerial beasts and knelt on the ground, their entire upper bodies were almost leaning on the surface of the ground. It was obvious how much authority Dugu Fengwu commanded in the Temple of Blood and how much everyone revered her. Yang Dingtians height was similar to Dugu Fengwu and he was wearing her clothes and her mask now. Coupled with the fact that these people didnt dare to look closely at her, they immediately treated Yang Dingtian as Dugu Fengwu. Yang Dingtian paid no attention to these people and walked past them. He picked an imposing aerial beast, which was a Golden Lion Vulture. He abruptly hopped onto the Golden Lion Vulture and faced the southwest direction, which was the direction of Cloud Heaven City and soared to the skies. At this moment, the morning suns were rising... a pair was disk-like suns rose from the river. The blood red river contrasted the two suns and made it look dark red as blood too. Right now, there were around 50 hours before the duel with Qin Shaobai and this place was around 3500 kilometers from Cloud Heaven City. The Golden Lion Vulture was flying with increasing speed as Mt. Ten Thousand Blood was getting further and further behind him. Goodbye Temple of Blood. Qin Shaobai, I am coming. Wait for me to have a death match with you! Chapter 124: Return to Cloud Heaven City! Duel Grounds! Chapter 124: Return to Cloud Heaven City! Duel Grounds!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian frantically urged the Golden Lion Vulture he was riding on. Fly, fly, fly, fly at your fastest speed! Yang Dingtian wasnt safe yet. As long as the people from the Temple of Blood discovered Dugu Fengwu, Yang Dingtian would be seen through. Hence, pursuers might come at any moment, and it was almost for certain. Yang Dingtian had to make full use of the precious time he had now and fly as far as he could. As long as he could fly out of the influence range of the Temple of Blood and enter the Land of Chaos, he wouldnt need to fear them anymore. Because the Land of Chaos was a place that was mixed with people of all kinds. Furthermore, as the Temple of Blood was from the Evil Dao, they wouldnt dare to just brazenly enter the Land of Chaos with a large scale army. Yang Dingtian was driving the Golden Lion Vulture to fly with crazy speed. After flying over the Rapture River, there were still no pursuers yet. After flying past the 500 kilometers influence radius of the Temple of Blood and seeing that there were still no pursuers, Yang Dingtians tensed up heart finally relaxed gradually. After flying past the uninhabited ruins, there were still no pursuers. A pity that the Golden Lion Vultures speed was far inferior to a gigantic Bloodthirsty Bat. Finally, after flying a six hours flight and traveling more than 1000 kilometers, Yang Dingtian finally broke away from the influence range of the Temple of Blood. After another two more hours of flight, he finally past by the 500 kilometers Netherworld Swamp. *** Finally, Yang Dingtian had entered the neutral zone, the Land of Chaos. After reaching this place, it was basically safe and as long as Yang Dingtian disguised himself, he would be able to blend into the densely packed mixed individuals. Yang Dingtian let out a breath of relief, but he found it a little weird. Why werent there any pursuers? Could they not have found the Dugu sisters? Or perhaps, Dugu Aoshuang had been staying silent, and trying to cover up for him? Otherwise, there must be some pursuers. It was truly strange. But, Yang Dingtian didnt have so much time to consider all of that. It was already a great blessing to be able to escape. Once Yang Dingtian entered the Land of Chaos, he must descend because it was too chaotic there. It was too prominent to be flying in the air and he might be shot down at any moment. Of course, there were heaven-defying experts, like Dugu Fengwu, who could fly wherever they like openly. This was the borders of the Land of Chaos which had lower traffic of humans. Yang Dingtian was at the southern borders of the Netherworld Swamp and he was looking for a secluded place to land. Afterward, he immediately knocked the Golden Lion Vulture out and took off Dugu Fengwus eye-catching clothes and mask. He took out a Immediately after, Yang Dingtian used the fastest speed he could to hurry over to a reed thicket at the south side of the Netherworld Swamp. This was where he arranged to rendezvous with the brothers of the Black Blood Cavalry. Because during the return trip to Cloud Heaven City, Yang Dingtian would require the ten Black Black Cavalry brothers to escort him. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian was very worried about their safety. But when Yang Dingtian arrived at the agreed location, he couldnt see the figures of the ten brothers. In addition to it, there were even bloodstains in the reed thicket, but there werent any signs of intense battle. It seemed like even the high cultivation Black Blood Cavalry experts didnt even have time to fight back. There was a jump in Yang Dingtians heart. What happened? Could the Black Blood Cavalry brothers have encountered Dugu Fengwu? After searching the vicinity, he still couldnt find any traces of the ten brothers. Yang Dingtian was unwilling to resign to this fate and searched around in a frenzy again. But after searching for two hours, there were still no clues. No messages, no hidden signs, not even half a warhorse in sight. Ten Black Blood Cavalry brothers vanished into thin air and without any trace. Yang Dingtian felt sad in his heart, but he didnt have so much time to delay. Right now, there were less than 40 hours before the duel with Qin Shaobai. This place was at least 2000 kilometers away from Cloud Heaven City. Yang Dingtian was in trouble now. Without the escorts from the ten experts of the Black Blood Cavalry, Yang Dingtian wouldnt be able to make it back to Cloud Heaven City by himself within the limited time. The Land of Chaos was truly too chaotic. After searching for another hour, Yang Dingtian still couldnt find any shadows of the Black Blood Cavalry brothers. He couldnt delay it anymore. Moreover, the pursuers from the Temple of Blood might come at any time. Yang Dingtian had to give up for now and send someone to search for the brothers in the future. *** Yang Dingtian used the fastest speed to run out of this uninhabited area of the Netherworld Swamp. After spending two hours, he arrived at a town. Right now, there was still 35 hours before the duel with Qin Shaobai. 35 hours to travel about 2000 kilometers. Yang Dingtian was by himself and if he kept on changing to a good riding beast, there might be a chance. But Yang Dingtian was by himself on the road and there would most certainly be stumbling blocks. The Land of Chaos was a very dangerous place and the possibility for Yang Dingtian to smoothly travel the 2000 kilometers without any obstructions was definitely zero. Then, should he look for a mercenary group to escort him? Let alone the fact that the mercenary groups in the Land of Chaos were all shady and ruthless. They murdered and plundered as though it was their daily tasks. Even if they were to complete this escort normally, it was still impossible for them to travel over 2000 kilometers in 35 hours. From the looks of it, Yang Dingtian seemed to be at wits end. Master, I truly dont want to look for them. But it seems like I still have to go look for them, Yang Dingtian sighed in his heart. He truly didnt want to look for that influential force, but with the current circumstances, he had no other choice. Thus, Yang Dingtian found an unremarkable restaurant in the town. On the outside of the restaurant, there was a painting of a strange animal, which had the feet of a deer, the body of a snake, the legs of a lion and the talons of a phoenix. This place was the secret hideout of the Heaven Dao Union and the hideout belonged to the Ying Yang Sect. Inside the hideout, there were plenty of experts and there was the fastest land moving beasts, which could travel more than 1000 kilometers in a single day. There certainly going to be Heaven Dao Unions hideouts located in the Land of Chaos. These hideouts served as an information center for the various prestigious sects. Anyone would be able to obtain help from these Heaven Dao Union hideouts if they had the correct code word. They would not ask for any reasons or conditions, as long as you could say the secret passwords and the code words. All these secret passwords and code words were set by the Ying Yang Sect. It was needless to say that because of Dongfang Niemie, Yang Dingtian knew the code words for every Yin Yang Sects hideout. If he wasnt compelled by circumstances, Yang Dingtian really didnt want to borrow any influential power from the Yin Yang Sect. After taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian walked into the Yin Yang Sects hideout and spoke to the shopkeeper, Give me a bird fish from the eastern Cloud Province. Prepare an underground room for me without any windows or openings, but all the sunlight must be able to shine in. The shopkeepers brows shook a little and replied, Follow me! Afterward, Yang Dingtian followed the shopkeeper into the secret room in the basement. What do you need? After entering the secret room, the shopkeeper didnt ask any questions and immediately asked about the request. Yang Dingtian said, Five experts above the Martial Mystic class for protection and at least one Martial Ancestor class expert. The fastest land travel beast and an escort to the Cloud Heaven City. Okay, please wait a moment! The shopkeeper immediately walked out of the secret room. At this moment, there were still 34 hours before the deathmatch with Qin Shaobai. ... Over ten minutes later, Yang Dingtian was riding on the fastest land beast and under the protection of eight experts, while galloping towards Cloud Heaven City. This was the fastest land travel beast on the continent and it could travel 100 kilometers in an hour. Of the eight experts, five of them were Martial Mystic class and three of them were Martial Ancestor class. This team might not be the strongest in the Land of Chaos, but without any rare treasures, no one in the Land of Chaos was willing to provoke such a team because they would suffer losses for nothing. ... Without eating or drinking and without any sleep or rest. Yang Dingtian made haste in a frenzy. He toiled away for long hours and galloped at full speed. After thirty-four hours, Yang Dingtian had traveled over 2000 kilometers! In front of him was a large river, which was considered to be the end of the Land of Chaos. On the other side of this large river was under the influence range of the Cloud Heaven City. A few days ago, Yang Dingtian had crossed over the river and entered the Land of Chaos. He went on a treacherous journey and had a narrow escape. Ultimately, his efforts werent in vain and he had successfully broken through in the Blood Pool. But when he recalled about the experiences during this period of time, Yang Dingtian let out a long sigh. Despite all the things only happening a few days ago, too many things had happened during this period of time. It was too shocking, hence it felt as though it was a few years. Looking at the vaguely visible Cloud Heaven City, Yang Dingtian gritted his teeth and said, Qin Shaobai. I have done everything just for you. Wait for me and I will fight with you till death! Cross the river! Yang Dingtian stroked the beast and galloped across the stone bright to enter the Cloud Heaven Citys territory. Right at this moment, the two suns were almost in the middle of the sky. Once the suns were in the middle, it was the moment for the deathmatch. There were less than two hours for the time limit. And there were only slightly more than 50 kilometers to Cloud Heaven City. Right now in Cloud Heaven City, the tide of people was surging and more than ten thousand individuals were gathered around the dueling ground. This dueling ground was arranged on the largest plaza in the Cloud Heaven City. Everyone was looking at the twin suns in the sky and waiting for the final moment to arrive or for Yang Dingtian to arrive. Qin Shaobai was wearing clothes that were whiter than snow. He stood on the high platform and looked extremely dashing. Ximen Yanyan was standing in the center of the highest platform, while her beautiful eyes were looking towards the east. She had mixed feelings about whether she wished for Yang Dingtian to appear or not. Madam Ximens gorgeous eyes were red and swollen and her face was haggard. It was obvious that the rumors and defamation had brought her grave suffering. Ximen Ningning looked towards the east restlessly and muttered to herself, Xiao Tian, sister really hope that you dont come. Ximen Lie also looked to the east and said, Yang Dingtian, I wish that you can arrive on time, but I also wish that you do not arrive on time. The plaza was filled with people. There were members of Cloud Heaven City and also the influential people of the Cloud Heaven City territories. This time, the plaza had even more spectators than the elimination battle previously. Not only did the entire Cloud Heaven City turn out in full strength, even the major and minor influential forces within the territories were also all here. Ximen Lie even brought nearly a thousand Black Blood Cavalry and they were all seated neatly in the corner of the plaza. They all remained silent but had a formidable qi presence. Everyone knew that this battle was going to decide a lot of things. Everyone was whispering to each other. If Yang Dingtians previous breakthrough was entirely reliant on Madam Ximen, then he will certainly refuse to show up today! Thats right. If it is true, who knows which corner of the world he escaped to? But, if he shows up and defeats Qin Shaobai, it means that his breakthrough is reliant on his own heaven defying talents. The matter between him and Madam Ximen will all be rumors. Thats right. If Yang Dingtian is able to defeat Qin Shaobai this time, no matter who tells me a rumor about Yang Dingtian in the future, I will never believe it! Yeah! If Yang Dingtian can defeat Qin Shaobai, then I am determined to have him as the new Cloud Heaven City Lord. Countless individuals were having discussions! S~?a??h the ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. *** Apart from the people that were close to Yang Dingtian, everyone was looking forward to Yang Dingtians arrival. Yang Yan walked over to Qin Shaobai and spoke indifferently, I have sent out hundreds of men. No one has any information pertaining to Yang Dingtian. Dont worry, he will be here. He is a fool, Qin Shaobai let out a faint smile. It will be best if he comes. Everything shall be settled at one go and there will not be any future threats. Yang Yan said, Yang Dingtian has astounding talents and if he was truly given one and a half years, you surely arent going to be his opponent in the City Lord Decision Tournament. After hearing this statement, Qin Shaobais expression was gloomy for a moment before he sneered and said, But he will not live for a year and a half. It is enough for me to be stronger than him now. Even if he is to break through two or three classes, he is still going to die. He doesnt even know how much strength I am concealing. Yang Yan let out a faint laugh and said, Which is why in the duel later, you have to instantly kill him. This will give a shocking effect to all the members of the Cloud Heaven City. Understand? Dont worry! Qin Shaobai said dully, He will die in three moves at most! ... Eight experts from the Heaven Dao Union were protecting Yang Dingtian and rushing across the spacious stone bridge in an arrow formation. The stone bridge was 300 meters long and 20 meters wide. It is currently empty and spacious, allowing the nine of them to shuttle through quickly. In front of them was the extremely tall and imposing Cloud Heaven City, which was already vaguely visible from the distance! Chapter 125: Supreme Evil Soul Art! Chapter 125: Supreme Evil Soul Art!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Nine men and nine mounts rushed across the stone bridge like the wind. Suddenly, there was a change in the situation. A figure appeared out of nowhere in the center of the stone bridge which was originally empty. The figures back was facing Yang Dingtian and his escorts, blocking the way. This person appeared out of nowhere and there was no one on the bridge earlier. This person was wearing a green robe and there was a wooden stick inserted in his hair. He looked simple and unconstrained. The eight experts from the Heaven Dao Union had a change in expression as they immediately circled around Yang Dingtian. The leader, who was a Martial Ancestor class expert, went forward and greeted, Friend, do us a favor and let us pass. The one who blocked them didnt turn around and said indifferently, Leave that person and you may leave. I will not kill all of you. The expert from the Heaven Dao Union had this change in expression as he spoke coldly, May I know who are you? Must you treat us as enemies today? Treat you as enemies? Just the few of you? You arent worthy, The one who blocked path said indifferently. He turned around and revealed a mediocre face, it was someone who Yang Dingtian had never met before. He then pointed at Yang Dingtian and said, Leave him behind and you may leave! You want us to leave him? Kill us first then you can talk, The expert from the Heaven Dao Union spoke in a cold voice and all eight of them drew their swords. The one who was obstructing them drew out a thin blade from his sleeve slowly and said, Kill all of you? Okay then. Extermination Killing Sword Formation! The eight experts all raised their swords high and brandished them orderly. Eight lights converged and formed a luminous ray of blue light which was blinding to the eyes and shot towards the man who was blocking them. Once the eight of them combined their strength, their overall strength surpassed a Martial Supreme class expert. The power of this sword light wasnt earth-shattering, but it was enough to level a tower which was several floors in height. Even if there were a few hundred martial artists like Yang Dingtian together, they would all be turned into dust by this sword ray. The man who was obstructing them didnt panic or hurry. He gently drew a sword flower and when they felt he was about to raise his sword and block, he placed the sword on his back. His left hand aimed at the attacking sword light and gently flicked at it. Boom... It was like a bomb, a silent explosion. Overwhelmingly powerful energy poured out. In an instant, it was dazzling and the boundless power instantly turned the Extermination Killing Sword light into nothing. It was the sword formation that combined all eight experts strength and the man was lazy to even use his weapon and merely flicked it away with his finger. The eight Heaven Dao Union experts were completely shocked. When the man appeared in the middle of the stone bridge, they knew he was a martial expert, but they didnt expect him to be on this exaggerated level. Put aside being far inferior or the level where they could even be comparable with. It was totally the difference between a star and a moon, or the ground and a mountain. The Martial Ancestor class expert withdrew his sword and bowed while speaking, This friend. No matter what issues you have, can you let us finish our mission and send the target to Cloud Heaven City first? If you can do us this favor, then our Heaven Dao Union will owe you one. Originally, these people had to keep their identity as Heaven Dao Union a secret, but because they had encountered such a martial expert, they had to call out their status. Otherwise, when it came to killing, it might become a conflict between two major influential forces. Heaven Dao Union? The mans brows shook slightly as he looked at Yang Dingtian and said, You actually found the Heaven Dao Union to be your bodyguards? You are really giving me a lot of trouble, huh? The Heaven Dao Unions leader spoke in a prideful expression, Since this expert knows about our Heaven Dao Union, then please do us this favor. The Heaven Dao Union is frightening. The obstructing man raised the thin sword and said, But I still give you the same proposal. You either hand over the man or die? Hand over the man? My Heaven Dao Union cant afford to be humiliated like this, The Heaven Dao Union expert spoke in a cold voice and suddenly raised his longsword to prepare for battle. Sure. Then I shall kill a few ants from the Heaven Dao Union, The obstructing man vigorously swung the thin sword, then an extremely powerful energy enveloped the entire stone bridge. The firm and stable stone bridge instantly let out a cracking sound. Hold on! Yang Dingtian couldnt let the Heaven Dao Union people die like this. He immediately walked over. Stop. Quickly retreat back into the protection formation, The leader of the experts stated. Yang Dingtian looked at him and said, Your protection has already ended. You have done an exceptional job along the way. You may return and report back to your organization. Finishing his statement, Yang Dingtian dismounted the horse and walked towards the obstructing man. The expert from the Heaven Dao Union slightly hesitated, but he ended up allowing Yang Dingtian to walk over. I am ultimately unable to escape from your evil clutches... Senior, Yang Dingtian walked forward and spoke in a helpless voice. The man who obstructed the path was obvious the Temple of Bloods Temple Master, Dugu Xiao. But he just had a change of facial features right now. But Yang Dingtian still recognized his eyes and that mockingly arrogant behavior. No wonder there wasnt a single pursuer since Yang Dingtian rode the Golden Lion Vulture from the Temple of Blood. Dugu Xiao didnt even treat his escape as a problem and he could capture Yang Dingtian at any moment. But he didnt do it at the Rapture River, he didnt do it at the 500-kilometer influential range of the Temple of Blood and he didnt do it at the Land of Chaos. He didit just as Yang Dingtian was going to step into the territories of the Cloud Heaven City. Thats right, this was the way he did things. He would allow you to go to paradise first before dragging you down to hell. Yang Dingtian looked at the devilish face which had this mocking expression. He couldnt help but say, Temple Master Dugu! If I didnt guess it wrong, when you gave me the two choices, you already knew I wasnt going to fight with the Mystic Martial Master and would choose to escape immediately right? That is correct. Dugu Xiao said, No matter which choice you picked, it will be the same, as you will still choose to escape. To fulfill a promise with a man who goes against his own words isnt nobility... it is foolishness. It seems like you arent so pedantic where there is no return. Yang Dingtian asked, You knew I was going to run, hence you allowed me to have the opportunity to run. You waited until I was almost home before you obstructed me and made me despair. Thats right, this is your style of doing things. But isnt the price too much? You sacrificed over a dozen, loyal Bat Blood Guards, just to torment and toy with me? Who asked you to actually win against me before? It is a very pleasant feeling to finally meet a match. Of course, I have to play with all my effort. Dugu Xiao said, I expected that you were going to escape, but I really wanted to know how were you going to get rid of the Bat Blood Guards. I didnt expect you to do it effortlessly, by using the Fire Demon Violent Lion to turn them into pulps of flesh. If I didnt guess it wrong, the Fire Demon Violent Lion didnt kill you when you exited the Blood Pool because of the Blood Token. It was because of something else. What was the reason for the Fire Demon Violent Lion to not kill you and even have a slight fear towards you? That Teardrop Necklace instantly appeared in Yang Dingtians mind. Say it. Otherwise, I will cripple your mystic meridians and blow up your qi vessel. Dugu Xiao said, To you, this should be an even more terrifying consequence than death. Yang Dingtians body shuddered. He was right, this was a worse suffering than death. Moreover, Dugu Xiao was a devil and he would surely do what he preached. The Fire Demon Violent Lion was a Grandmaster class demonic beast, but once it saw the Teardrop Necklace, it was so frightened that its soul almost escaped. It meant that the Teardrop Necklace was definitely something that would frighten the Temple Master Dugu Xiao as well. Yang Dingtian felt somehow that, as long as he revealed it, he would definitely be safe. Yang Dingtian opened up his arms and shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he had nothing to say. You arent going to say it? Dugu Xiao asked. Yang Dingtian nodded. Dugu Xiao instantly raised his hand and placed it on Yang Dingtians shoulder. As long as a tenth of his mystic qi, or even a hundredth of his mystic qi blew a little, Yang Dingtians qi vessel would immediately explode and his mystic meridians would be ruined. He would become a complete cripple, and all his missions and dreams would all become a puff of smoke. This was perhaps the most dangerous moment for Yang Dingtian and his body was actually trembling. I thought you wouldnt be afraid, Dugu Xiao stated. Of course I will be afraid. Yang Dingtian said, But I will not let my fear win against my courage. Dugu Xiao sneered and asked, That means you arent going to say it right? Yang Dingtian nodded. His attitude might seem casual, but his heart was extremely firm. Alright, so be it. Everyone has their right to keep a secret, Dugu Xiao spoke and immediately took his hand off Yang Dingtians shoulder. Was he not going to ruin Yang Dingtian? In this instant, Yang Dingtian was a little stupefied. What was going on with this Great Devil? What kind of show was he acting? He was previously speaking in a tone that was not negotiable and would ruin Yang Dingtian if he didnt say it. Now, he just casually let Yang Dingtian off? What kind of game was this Great Devil trying to play? Immediately after, Dugu Xiao said, Thats right. When you were cultivating in the Blood Pool, you met Dugu Fengwu, right? Yang Dingtian nodded. And she was stark naked? Dugu Xiao asked again. Yang Dingtian nodded again. But, you didnt take the opportunity to taint her and took advantage of her right? Dugu Xiao said, I have examined Fengwu. Her virginity isnt broken and she still has a pure body. Yang Dingtian instantly let out a breath of relief and said, Many thanks for senior proving my innocence. Dont be in a hurry to thank me. Dugu Xiao said, I spoke to Dugu Fengwu like this, I said: Fengwu, dont be sad. Even though that beast, Yang Dingtian, took advantage and tainted your body, you are still pure in fathers heart. Fengwu was very angry and immediately wanted to jump out from her bed to rip you into pieces. But you interrupted her when she was cultivation and her mystic meridians were damaged. She has to take some time to recuperate. She will be fully recovered in a few months to half a year. The first day she exits from seclusion, she will immediately leave the Temple of Blood to come to kill you. So you have to be cautious by then. Ahh... Yang Dingtian instantly widened his eyes and glared at Dugu Xiao while saying, How... how could you say such a thing to her? We are evenly matched, but you are a small figure and it wouldnt be nice for me to kill you, but I cannot keep an eye on your forever. I cant let you off so comfortably, so I found you another even more troublesome opponent. Dugu Xiao said, Of course, Dugu Fengwus talents are great, hence she is overly arrogant and considers everyone beneath her. I need to find her an opponent, but Dongfang Bingling is too far away and you just happened to visit. So it was the perfect moment for me to make use of you. Yang Dingtian instantly clenched his teeth hard. A random banter from this Great Devil was enough to torment him miserably. Facing off against a prejudiced and hostile woman, furthermore, she was a powerful woman with martial prowess. Yang Dingtian shivered just from the imagination. How was Dugu Fengwus cultivation? How was her heart? Yang Dingtian knew it very clearly as she was a murderer who killed humans like she was killing livestock. Immediately after, Dugu Xiao laughed and said, Alright then. You take care. I will leave now. You... you are going to leave like this? Yang Dingtian had a surprise. The Great Devil had tormented Yang Dingtian countless times and by blocking him at the final juncture of his journey back to Cloud Heaven City, it caused his heart to plunge into the abyss. Yang Dingtian had already made the worst preparations, but he didnt expect Dugu Xiao to let him off so easily. Dugu Xiao really turned and walked away, walking towards the northeast direction where the Temple of Blood was. After walking for a moment, he suddenly turned back to speak to Yang Dingtian, Your breakthrough in the Blood Pool was truly astounding. If I didnt remember it wrong, in the history of the Blood Pool, the best result was merely breaking through by two classes. But you broke through four classes, it is truly amazing. It was why when I saw you again at Dugu Aoshuangs room, I was so shocked that I was speechless. Senior has overpraised me, Yang Dingtian responded. But, if you are to duel with Qin Shaobai with your current cultivation, you will still be on the path to death. You are absolutely not his match. Dugu Xiao continued, He is a little fox fused with a little venomous snake. He has concealed his strength more than you have ever imagined. He is much stronger than you can even predict. I have made some calculations for the duel between you and him. You will, at best, be able to withstand around four moves before instantly collapsing and dying afterward. The facial muscles on Yang Dingtians face twitched as he wanted to say something ruthless. But it was obvious that Dugu Xiao wasnt someone who would speak without thinking. But he was determined that with effort, one could do anything. I have a technique that can allow you to turn defeat into victory. Dugu Xiao said, This technique is called the Evil Soul Art. Thats right, just the name is enough to know how evil it is. But it can help you to turn the tide. Evil Soul Art! Yang Dingtian instantly felt his entire body trembling! S~?a??h the N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yes, it was one of the two most evil techniques. Furthermore, the technique had a story. Two hundred years ago, the Wooden Sword Castles young lord, Li Tianxiao, had a blood feud with the Northwest Qin Clans third young master. They had decided to do a trial by duel. Li Tianxiao had an unconventional lifestyle and he was a carefree individual, hence he didnt put a lot of his energy in cultivation. Thus, his cultivation was more than ten classes inferior to the Qin Clans third young master. Everyone assumed that Li Tianxiao was definitely going to die in the trial by duel! But, after the duel, the result had shocked everyone. Li Tianxiao had achieved victory and he even instant killed the Qin Clans third young master. Everyone was utterly astonished and couldnt believe their eyes. This battle made Li Xiaotian renowned in the world. Afterward, Li Xiaotians cultivation made rapid progress and he was no longer a hedonistic son as he had become an astounding martial expert in the world. How was he able to suddenly become so terrifyingly strong? To even instant kill an opponent that was more than ten classes superior to him? The reason was the Evil Soul Art! The Evil Daos supreme treasure manual, the Evil Soul Art! It was said that as long as one had a complete grasp of the Evil Soul Art, and they are a weak person who has a formidable puppet battle soul, they can instantly kill an enemy who is several folds stronger than him. The Evil Soul Art was separated into the Soul Assimilating Art and the Soul Burst Art! The Soul Assimilating Art was to forcefully draw out the spirit soul of an expert and refine it into a powerful puppet battle soul. After refining it, the practitioner can store it into a special soul tool. The Soul Burst Art was to wait until it was the most dangerous moment in a fight. The practitioner would then mix the puppet battle soul into ones own mystic qi and attack. There would be an instant burst of unlimited strength which could be used to instantly kill the enemy. This sounds rather similar to refining a martial soul. But in fact, it was entirely different. The refining of a martial soul was to refine a powerful demonic beasts battle soul into your own. Furthermore, this battle soul was permanent. While the Evil Soul Art directly used an evil method or medicine to control an expert and forcefully draw out their spirit soul by using the Soul Assimilating Art. From then now, that expert would become a walking corpse. Moreover, each puppet battle soul could only be used once. Which mean to say that every time the practitioner used the Evil Soul Art, it would mean that the spirit soul was taken away from an expert and turns them into walking corpses. Hence, it was the most terrifying wastage, which was so evil and so powerful that it makes anyones hair stand on their ends. Among the evil arts listed by the Heaven Dao Union, the Evil Soul Art was listed in the top ranks. As long as you have this technique, you will be able to kill Qin Shaobai, rescue Ximen Yanyan, and save Cloud Heaven City. Dugu Xiao asked, How about it? Beg me then. Beg me to teach you. Im sorry. I have no interest in it, Yang Dingtian spoke coldly and turned to leave. Yang Dingtian had the utmost hatred for evil arts like this and it was something even more vicious and evil than the Yin Yang Devour Mystic Ritual. Once an individual got tainted by such an evil art, half their lifetimes cultivation would be ruined as there was always a price to pay for such a shortcut. Yang Dingtian had already rejected such a wonderful thing like the Yin Yang Devour Mystic Ritual, let alone this Evil Soul Art which was even eviler. This technique is something that countless people crave for and you actually dont want it? Dugu Xiao said, But when people want it, I will not give it. If you dont want it, I want to force it onto you. Finishing his statement, Yang Dingtians body flew forward and was immediately drawn over by Dugu Xiao. Immediately after, Dugu Xiaos palm pressed onto Yang Dingtian head, while he read out the mysterious and evil mnemonic chant. Boom... It felt as though Yang Dingtians mind had been forced open. An uncomparable powerful energy dug into his mind and into both his physical and mental body. The technique method of the Evil Soul Art, the circulation method of the mystic qi and the mnemonic chant. Every word and sentence, every scene and image, was forcefully poured into the deepest part of Yang Dingtians mind. Ahh, ahh... No, no... Yang Dingtian screamed out intensely as he desperately struggled. But it was useless. This Evil Soul Art was unendingly forced into Yang Dingtians body through Dugu Xiaos hand. Every word and sentence was engraved into his brain and it was extremely clear and had a very deep impression. Yang Dingtian used all his energy, willpower and mental strength to resist, repel and fight back! In an instant, two energies and willpowers were in a frenzied struggle in Yang Dingtians mind. Yang Dingtian had an excruciatingly painful expression as he was bleeding from his seven apertures. And his veins had popped out, as though he was about to die from his body bursting apart. But even after the all-out effort from Yang Dingtian, he was still unable to resist against Dugu Xiao planting the Evil Soul Art into the depths of his mind. Countless energy and information were branded into the depths of Yang Dingtians mind. After ten minutes, Dugu Xiaos hand loosened and Yang Dingtian instantly fell onto the ground. The entire content of the Evil Soul Art, the deepest theory and even Dugu Xiaos unique understanding of the Evil Soul Art was all engraved in Yang Dingtians mind and they couldnt be erased. The Evil Soul Art was even more profound and more powerful than the one Li Tianxiao had knowledge of! Chapter 126: Decisive Battle with Qin Shaobai Chapter 126: Decisive Battle with Qin ShaobaiTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian abruptly pounded on his head with desperation and even used his head to bang onto the firm railing of the stone bridge. Get out... Get it out... Forget it... Forget about it... He was banging his head with all his might, trying to clear out and expel this evil technique from his mind. But this was apparently impossible as Dugu Xiao embedded this evil technique into the deepest part of his brain. It was as deeply embedded as the tasks given to him by Ximen Wuya, Dongfang Niemie, and the five-year promise. This meant that if Yang Dingtian wanted to forget about this evil technique, he would also have to forget about all the missions that he received from Ximen Wuya and Dongfang Niemie. Soon enough, Yang Dingtian banged his head too hard that it was starting to bleed, but the evil technique was still as clear as ever in his mind. Dugu Xiao was a devil, he was certainly a devil. Youre trying to ruin me... No... You have already ruined me! Yang Dingtian shouted at Dugu Xiao, Why dont you just kill me?! Ruined you? Dugu Xiao sneered and said, In the future, you might even be grateful towards me. Beware not to get too addicted to it. Immediately after this, Dugu Xiao pointed his finger at the eight experts from the Heaven Dao Union and said, These are the bodyguards you hired? When I was making my move against you, they didnt even dare to come near. What kind of bullshit is this Heaven Dao Union anyways? In an instant, the Heaven Dao Unions Martial Ancestor class expert spoke with a faithful expression, Sir, you better mind your words. The influence of our backer is something you cannot dare imagine. Beware of inviting disaster to yourself. I am Dugu Xiao, the master of the Temple of Blood, the leader of the Evil Dao, Dugu Xiao suddenly declared. The eight experts from the Heaven Dao Union had a drastic change in their expressions. Despite the fact that they could feel that only a few individuals had this martial experts cultivation class, they also never would have expected him to be Dugu Xiao. This was because once an expert from the Evil Dao officially stepped out of the Evil Daos territories, even if he was to enter the Land of Chaos which was a neutral zone. It was still considered a declaration of war and the Heaven Dao Union would unite their alliance army to suppress them again. They never expected the leader of the Evil Dao to not just enter the Land of Chaos, but was also about to step into the righteous sects territories. (The Cloud Heaven City might have been ostracized by the Three Sects and Nine Clans, but they are still a member of the Heaven Dao Union and is part of the righteous Dao. They currently have an internal conflict among the other prestigious sects) Since Dugu Xiao declared his name, this meant that he was going to kill them. What do you want to do? You should better consider the consequences of your actions. Our backers are the Heaven Dao Union and the Yin Yang Sect, The Martial Ancestor class expert spoke coldly. Yin Yang Sect? Dugu Xiao sneered and said, Dongfang Niemie is no longer around. While Dongfang Bingling is indeed a generational prodigy, she might even become the worlds no.1 in twenty or thirty years, she could even be the first person to enter the unprecedented Half Saint Realm. However, despite all this, she is still too young and there is no one in the Yin Yang Sect who is a match for me right now. With Zhu Qingzhu harboring treacherous intentions, the Hidden Sect that has shunned the world, and Ximen Wuya who has been extinguished prematurely. Who else am I supposed to fear in this world? You would dare threaten me with the Ying Yang Sect? Dugu Xiao laughed and walked away at the same time. He was walking in slow motion, but his speed was very fast. It took him a blink of the eye to walk past the eight experts from the Heaven Dao Union who were 100 meters away. The eight of them raised their swords as though they were preparing to face a great enemy. They waited for Dugu Xiao to execute his kill move first. But he walked past them and didnt do anything... was he really going to let them off like this? Heh heh, Heaven Dao Union! Dugu Xiao shrugged his shoulder and there was this sudden surge of energy almost like a nuclear explosion. It was shot out from Dugu Xiaos shoulder as he was shrugging. It was invisible energy which couldnt be seen and couldnt be touched. It was as if the wind blew by. The eight experts instantly froze and their entire bodies were immobilized. They struggled to even move a single finger, however, they were still alive. This is my gift for you. Eight fresh and warm puppet battle souls. Their cultivations didnt suffer any damage and they are completely immobilized. You just need to use the Soul Assimilating Art to refine them. This ring is a superior soul tool which Li Tianxiao used in the past, I shall bestow it upon you and I hope that you can become the second Li Tianxiao in the future, Dugu Xiao continued to walk and stated, But you have to make the most out of this quickly. Because in less than one hour, these eight individuals will vanish into a puff of smoke. A simple and unadorned ring quickly flew towards Yang Dingtian. I dont need it... I will not use human lives for an opportunity to strengthen myself! Its false strength! Yang Dingtian roared at Dugu Xiao and immediately dodged the ring. It might be an absolute artifact, but Yang Dingtian didnt want it. Youre still so hypocritical. Why? Cant you bear to do it? Alright then, Ill make them all into the living dead and turn them into walking corpses without any consciousness. You will be able to assimilate their martial soul once I do so, right? Dugu Xiao spoke and abruptly swung the thin blade in his hand. The eight experts violently shook their heads for an instant. Their eyes which were filled with vigor immediately turned numb and lifeless. It was just as Dugu Xiao had said, he allowed the eight of them to keep their lives, but he had destroyed their consciousness. Remember, you only have an hour to refine their martial souls, otherwise, you will just be waiting to die under Qin Shaobais blade. If that happens, he will ravage and taint Ximen Yanyan and Madam Ximen, Dugu Xiao laughed heartily before vanishing in front of Yang Dingtians eyes. Devil... He is truly a devil... Yang Dingtian looked at the vanishing figure. Ever since he came to this world, he did everything in a way that wouldnt make him regret his actions. But in regards to this trip to the Temple of Blood, his heart wasnt able to choose whether he was regretful or not. If he didnt come to the Temple of Blood, he wouldnt have provoked a devil like Dugu Xiao. Although Yang Dingtian had successfully broken through four classes in the Blood Pool, he had exchanged it with extreme hatred from Dugu Fengwu. Once she was out of her seclusion, she would definitely not rest until he was dead. There was also another direct consequence of his actions, which was these eight experts lives that were destroyed right in front of his eyes. Dugu Xiao... there will be a day when I will destroy your evil spirit soul, Yang Dingtian slowly stood back up and wiped off the blood on his face, his tone chilling cold. He then walked in front of each of the Heaven Dao Union experts who were turned into walking corpses. He wasnt going to refine their martial souls, he only wanted to make sure if there were truly no other ways to save them. After taking a closer look, he fed them high-grade elixirs, but there no effects. They were utterly incurable. A persons consciousness, mind, and willpower was everything. Once it got damaged beyond a certain limit, there would be nothing left but an empty shell of the body. The person would still have their normal mystic meridians and even their qi vessel which still had vigor. This was the perfect condition for a puppet battle soul. I will never use it, no matter how powerful your Evil Soul Art is, I will not be infected by it. If I ever use it, only then will I be completely ruined, Yang Dingtian spoke coldly, You mentioned that I wasnt a match for Qin Shaobai and that I wouldnt be able to withstand four moves from him. I dont believe in your words, I will still try... Immediately after, Yang Dingtian bowed his head to the eight experts in front of him and said, I am sorry. You lost your lives because you escorted me... I am sorry for not being able to rescue you, I promise to let all of you have your complete bodies to leave with in this world. I will not steal your martial souls which belongs to all of you. Finishing his statement, Yang Dingtian leaped onto the beast and galloped towards Cloud Heaven City. As he did so, he noticed that when Dugu Xiaos invisible energy destroyed the eight experts, the eight mounts which were in the midst of it were actually unharmed. Dugu Xiao was truly formidable! S?a??h the N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Lets go... Yang Dingtian shook the reins and quickly passed across the stone bridge, stepping into the influence range of the Cloud Heaven City, while using the fastest speed to rush towards Cloud Heaven City. Pfff... The instant Yang Dingtian left the stone bridge, the eight experts whose consciousness were destroyed started to disintegrate as every inch of their bodies turned into smoke. A wind blew across the area, scattering their ashes all over the ground. There was something stranger that was happening. The soul tool, the ancient ring moved as though it had a spirit, it flew and followed closely behind Yang Dingtian. It would follow Yang Dingtian wherever he went and if Yang Dingtian tried to adjust his speed, the ring would adjust accordingly too. It seemed as though it wasnt just an inanimate ring, it was as if it had life with a spirit soul. Yang Dingtian abruptly turned around to catch this ring and spoke coldly, I want to see what kind of odd tricks you have. The instant Yang Dingtian caught hold of the ancient ring, a mournful scream echoed in Yang Dingtians ears. It was as if the wailing came from malicious spirits and grieved souls that came from the depths of hell. It also sounded like a complacent and cruel screech from a devil too. At this same moment, Yang Dingtian could feel a chill throughout his body as though the temperature around him had instantly lowered several degrees This soul tool which was especially meant for collecting puppet spirit souls was truly an extremely evil item. The moment Yang Dingtian grabbed ahold of it, his body couldnt help but tremble as he felt a gloomy and cold feeling. Right at this moment, Dugu Xiaos voice echoed by Yang Dingtians ears once more. You are truly a hypocrite. You would rather let those eight spirit souls be destroyed rather than refining them. But it matters not, I already predicted this might happen, hence I already stored a formidable puppet spirit soul in the soul tool ring. Dugu Xiao had definitely left, but why was his voice still around? Yang Dingtian couldnt help but turn to find where the voice came from. There is no need to look for me. I am quite far away from you. Dugu Xiao said, I will tell this to you directly. You are definitely not a match for Qin Shaobai. If you want to turn the tables, you can only use the Evil Soul Art. Perhaps you are too stubborn and will adamantly refuse even now, but when the moment of life and death arrives, you will definitely use the Evil Soul Art. I clearly understand the hideous side of humans. Remember... when you decide to use it, you just have to feel the spirit soul in the soul tool ring, in order to use the Soul Burst Art. You can instantly kill an opponent like Qin Shaobai. Of course, once you do this, the Evil Soul Arts evil attributes in the soul tool would enter the depths of your spirit soul and you will never be able to cleanse it. Yang Dingtian laughed sarcastically and said, Temple Master Dugu is truly overly concerned. I will never use your soul tool and I will never use your Evil Soul Art. Dugu Xiao spoke in a sneering voice, Wait until the moment you are about to be killed by Qin Shaobai before you declare all this. Mark my words. You will use it. If not, you will die. Yang Dingtian, you will use the Evil Soul Art. Human nature is truly ugly and I know it all too well. Hahahaha, hahaha... Finally, Dugu Xiaos insolent and sneering voice completely vanished. I will never use the Evil Soul Art, Yang Dingtian spoke to himself determinedly. He clenched tightly on the evil soul tool ring while his ears could still hear the wailing of a malicious spirit. That formidable puppet spirit soul seemed to be trying to rush out with ferocity. Let alone using this ring, even if Yang Dingtian was to keep it by his side for a long period of time, his body would be invaded by the evil energy. I would like to see how youre going to do anything evil, Yang Dingtian laughed grimly and immediately tossed the soul tool ring into his spatial ring. In an instant, the soul tool rings evil, gloomy, and cold energy vanished without a trace. It was as though it had completely vanished from this world. Yang Dingtian continued to rush towards Cloud Heaven City. Just as he passed the end of the bridge, Yang Dingtian noticed a few corpses lying around. There were no scars on their bodies while they all had a shocked expression on their faces. They looked familiar as they were the members of the Cloud Heaven City, but Yang Dingtian didnt know why they died here. Yang Dingtian didnt have time to bother about such things and rushed past them. There were only less than 30 minutes left before the trial by duel. The tens of thousands of spectators were already tired from waiting and were beginning to curse and taunt with words that sounded utterly awful. The Black Blood Cavalry who supported Yang Dingtian was currently suffering from low morale. I already said so. Yang Dingtian wouldnt dare to come. He knew that once he comes here, he would certainly die. Heavens. It seems like Yang Dingtian truly did steal Madam Ximens mystic qi just to breakthrough. Otherwise, he would still be trash at the Initiate class. Yang Dingtian is truly a bastard for not letting off his own mother-in-law. City Lord Ximen who is a generational hero is truly blinded. Madam Ximen looked rather honorable, but why would she have an illicit lover when her husband left for only one month? Moreover, it was with her own son-in-law? This woman is utterly shameless, however, she is indeed alluring and beautiful. Yang Dingtian took up all the great stuff, taking in both the mother and daughter huh... Madam Ximen was on the verge of collapse when she heard all of the various humiliating attacks and slanders surrounding her. Her eyes had this moment of darkness and she nearly fainted. Qin Shaobais shameless rumors only took a few days to utterly ruin her reputation and her mental strength. In just a few days, her cultivation had reversed back by nearly ten years and she lost nearly five kilograms. After hearing all these vicious personal defamations, she really wanted to jump off from the city walls and die in front of everyone to prove her innocence. When Ximen Yanyan heard the countless vicious slanders, she was so angry that her body was shivering. She gritted her teeth so tightly that she was bleeding. She looked at Qin Shaobai with eyes there were filled with utmost hatred. Qin Shaobai who was wearing snow-white clothing looked at the suns in the sky before glancing at Ximen Yanyan, he said, Sister Yanyan. Yang Dingtian is not coming. You are about to have one more sin added. Prepare to suffer the sentence of Thousands Devour. The sentence of Thousands Devour was to tie up the criminal at the highest part of Mt. Cloud Heaven. The criminal would then be devoured and consumed alive by the countless ash-grey vultures. The flesh on the body would be torn off piece by piece by those sharp talons and beaks. It seemed to be the harshest form of punishment in the Cloud Heaven City. Do you still want to live? Beg me then, I am a man who is easily convinced, Qin Shaobai laughed while he said these words. Ximen Yanyan treated it as though she didnt hear a thing and continued to look towards the eastern city gates. Youre not afraid of dying? Qin Shaobai sneered and continued, Then wait until mid-noon has passed, we will officially publicly judge your mothers illicit sexual relationships. Judgment will be passed in front of tens of thousands of people. Do you know how Cloud Heaven City punishes criminals that commit adultery? They strip them of all their clothing and force to walk for three days before sinking into lava to die. Furthermore, illicit sexual relationships are the worst crimes, do you think your mother will be able to endure such humiliation? Ximen Yanyans delicate body suddenly shook as her beautiful eyes looked over at Qin Shaobai. If you dont want such a miserable fate, then beg me. My heart is so soft that I will agree as soon as you beg, Qin Shaobai looked at Ximen Yanyans hot and voluptuous curves with lustful eyes. He didnt expect for Ximen Yanyan to snort and say, I will just die at most. I hope that Yang Dingtian wouldnt come here today. If he doesnt return today, then he will be back in the future. Perhaps maybe a year or even three years later. When he returns, it will be the day you die! Foolish woman. Qin Shaobai sneered and said, I cant even threaten you with your mother? Then I will use you to threaten your mother. Madam Ximen, the no.1 beauty of the Northwest continent... This junior has admired you for a long time... Right now, there was still around half an hour before the deadline for the duel, however, Qin Shaobai couldnt wait any longer. He looked at the suns in the sky once more and slowly walked to the center of the high platform. He yelled out, The trial by duels deadline will soon arrive. If Yang Dingtian doesnt appear, it will be declared as his loss. Bang! The city gates were crashed opened from the outside. A red-robed Yang Dingtian was riding on a giant riding beast, crashing the city gates open and rushing in. The entire plaza was instantly silenced. This was immediately followed by an uproar as everyone stood to look at Yang Dingtian. Everyone assumed that Yang Dingtian wasnt going to come! When Ximen Yanyan saw Yang Dingtian arriving, her gorgeous eyes shot an unprecedented glow before her delicate body went soft and almost collapsed. Madam Ximen had a flash of light in her eyes before she immediately fainted. Ximen Ningning quickly caught hold of her. As she helped Madam Ximen, Ningnings eyes chased after Yang Dingtians figure while tears trickled off. He was finally back... He was safe and sound. He was back from the Temple of Blood which was a nest of devils. Yang Yan looked at Yang Dingtians figure and instantly shuddered. He then laughed grimly before saying, This fool. He really came here to die. Ximen Lis hands which were clenching tightly on his giant sword finally loosened up. He spoke softly, Yang Dingtian, youre really here? This is a good thing! Ximen Jus expression changed suddenly as he looked at Yang Dingtian while revealing a complex expression. At the same moment, the Black Blood Cavalrys morale had a great boost. They all yelled out valiantly. Yang Dingtian rushed right to the center of the dueling ground and dismounted the riding beast. He abruptly drew the Night Owl Giant Blade and pointed at Qin Shaobai from distance and said, Come on down. Qin Shaobai smiled and said, I didnt expect that you would really come for your death. Immediately after, his body slightly shook before he drifting down from the high platform. He landed at the opposite of Yang Dingtian. It seemed as though his body didnt have any weight. Yang Dingtian, during the period of time you werent here. Many things happened... Qin Shaobai laughed and said. Quit the nonsense. Draw your sword... Yang Dingtian responded. No hurries. Qin Shaobai sneered and said, There is no need for you to be in a hurry to die. Let us talk about some things after your death. What should we do about your wife and your mother-in-law? I will be more than willing to carry the burden of taking care of them. You just have to take good care of your mother. Yang Dingtian said, And also... Take more caution to avoid pregnancy. When youre having illicit sex in the wild, you better find a more concealed location. Otherwise, if you encounter someone else and would want to kill them, you might not be able to frame them that easily. Once this statement was out, Qin Shaobais expression drastically changed and his body shivered. His eyes revealed an extremely vicious and resentful glow as he looked at Yang Dingtian. He spoke back in a cold voice, Do you know something? Just because of this statement, you have caused the death of countless people. Everyone thats related to you, even if just an acquaintance, will all be eradicated by the Northwest Qin Clan. Yang Dingtian laughed grimly and said, Since either one of us is going to die today... It doesnt matter! Stop acting like a know-it-all and lets start the slaughter! Yang Dingtian, you were already meant to die today. But Ximen Yanyan and the others could have lived. Now they cant anymore. Everyone related to you must die, Qin Shaobai spoke in a cold and vicious tone while he slowly drew his sword. It was an extremely sharp and mystic qi enhanced Blood Black Gold Sword. Thats right, its the Blood Black Gold Sword! The sword in Qin Shaobais hand shook vigorously while releasing a thunderous roar. A mist-like red flame was emitting from the sword and the entire blade was blazing in flames. Before the battle even started, a formidable energy was spreading out instilling fear in the peoples hearts. Primal Chaos Exterminating Sword, Cloud Heaven Citys unique martial arts. The first generation city lord, Yang Yunxiao relied on this Primal Chaos Exterminating Sword to become one of the Nine Martial Saints in the millennium. Hence, the Primal Chaos Exterminating Sword could be considered as the representative of Cloud Heaven City. Yang Dingtian slowly drew his sharp sword out which was the ugly and strange Night Owl Giant Blade. It looked like twisted metal pieces. Just from the appearance alone, it was totally worlds apart from Qin Shaobais Blood Black Gold Sword. Yang Dingtian, I will slaughter you like livestock! I will kill you within five moves! If I cannot kill you within five moves, it shall be considered my loss. How about it? Qin Shaobai yelled out loudly with a thunderous voice echoing in the entire plaza. Everyone was shocked! Qin Shaobais declaration ignited the passion in everyones blood. He declared that he would kill Yang Dingtian in five moves, or else, it would be his loss. How bold and confident was he? Yang Yan looked up and saw that the twin suns were suspended in midair. The time has arrived. Start the duel! Yang Yan raised his giant sword and clanged it on the castle wall. With a loud bang, the giant sword was crushed into smithereens and countless little shards scattered down the city. ... Primal Chaos Exterminating Sword. First sword move, Sword Reverse Heaven! The blazing Blood Black Gold Sword instantly transformed into a blue sword light which was several feet long. It cleaved down at Yang Dingtians head like was cleaving down forcefully at the mountain and the sea. Chapter 127: Qin Shaobai’s Destruction! (Part 1) Chapter 127: Qin Shaobais Destruction! (Part 1)Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales The blazing Blood Black Gold Sword instantly transformed into a blue sword light which was several feet long. It cleaved down at Yang Dingtians head like it was cleaving down forcefully at the mountain and the sea. Wha- this is the power of a nine-star Mystic Martial Warrior! Thats right! From the length and the color of the sword light, one could see that Qin Shaobai had the power of a nine-star Mystic Warrior! If Yang Dingtian didnt manage to break through to the Mystic Martial Warrior level and was still that nine-star Mystic Martial Artist, he would have been disintegrated by this move. Pig Slaying Sword Art, Split in Half. Bang! Yang Dingtian clenched both his hands on the sword and raised it up while executing the Pig Slaying Sword Arts seventh sword move. Pouring his mystic qi in, the Night Owl Giant Blade instantly extended a two-meter-long sword light as he cleaved upward. Yang Dingtian managed to breakthrough! His sword light is now comparable to an initial stage Mystic Martial Warrior. There was an instant uproar as no one expected for Yang Dingtian to truly break through to the Mystic Martial Warrior in just a few short days. Boom! The two sword lights clashed with a vicious impact. There was a dazzling glow in the air, while the earth shook vigorously. Qin Shaobai drifted lightly and landed on the ground. After Yang Dingtian landed, he took four steps back and opened his mouth to vomit a mouthful of fresh blood. It was clear and evident who the victor for the first exchange of moves was. Qin Shaobai looked at Yang Dingtian with cold eyes and said, I didnt expect you to really break through to the Mystic Martial Warrior. Its truly shocking since it has only just been a few days. Yang Dingtian wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth. He merely snorted and didnt give any response. But... so what? Qin Shaobai lifted his head and sneered, This is just the first move and you are already puking out blood. What are you going to do next? Surely you dont think that Im just a nine-star Mystic Martial Warrior right? Afterward, Qin Shaobai raised his Blood Black Gold Sword again and vigorously injected mystic qi into it. Boom... The Blood Black Gold Sword surged with flames again. Qin Shaobai stood in place and aimed at Yang DIngtians waist while cleaving through the air. Swash... It was a forty-feet yellow sword light! Primal Chaos Exterminating Sword, second sword move, Universe Beheading! Wow! This is a Mystic Martial Masters sword light! Everyone stood up and looked at Qin Shaobai with surprise in their eyes. Ximen Yanyan and Ningning also nearly exclaimed at the same time. This vicious snake, Qin Shaobai was indeed hiding his own strength. he did break through to the Mystic Martial Master level as they expected! If he was just a Mystic Martial Warrior, even though still at nine-star, Yang Dingtian would have still had a chance to fight after he had broken through. But now that Qin Shaobai was truly a Mystic Martial Master, there was no need to fight anymore, because to battle with someone whose rank exceeded yours was just courting death. It was as though everyone could already see the result, which was Yang Dingtians waist getting severed. Pig Slaying Sword Art, Sword Entering the Chopping Board... AHH!! Letting out a loud roar, Yang Dingtians Night Owl Giant Sword extended by twenty feet and was plunged into the ground, obstructing Qin Shaobais lighting fast sword light. Boom! There was a loud echo. Qin Shaobais sword light ruthlessly cleaved on the Night Owl Giant Blade, which caused it to burst with blinding light. The center of the plaza had exploded and stone shards flew off in every direction. The soil was blasted out, leaving a deep pit which was several feet in diameter at the location where the two swords clashed. As for Yang Dingtian, he flew back like rice straw. He stabbed the Night Owl Giant Sword into the ground, hoping to prevent his body from flying out the plaza. The giant sword sliced across the plazas ground, splitting apart solid rocks while bursting out with sparks. Ten meters... Twenty meters... Thirty meters... After nearly thirty-five meters, Yang Dingtian finally stopped the momentum. The entire plaza now had this thirty-five meters deep crevice that was sliced by him. Pfff... After stopping, fresh blood shot out like a rain of arrows from his nose and mouth. Yang Dingtians face looked as white as a piece of paper it was as if there was no blood in him! However, he wasnt dead yet! Everyone gasped in surprise! In this second exchange, Yang Dingtian actually demonstrated the strength of a three-star Mystic Martial Warrior. How was it possible for Yang Dingtian to actually be a three-star Mystic Martial Warrior? Did he actually break through again in just this short period of time? It was truly incredible. In this instance, all the rumors about Yang Dingtian and Madam Ximen and all the rumors about him using the Yin Yang Devour Great Ritual were all extinguished. But despite this case, Yang Dingtian was still supposed to be dead. A three-star Mystic Martial Warrior going against a Mystic Martial Master was a battle between two different classes. It should have resulted in Yang Dingtians quick death, but why wasnt he dead yet? Of course, it was because of Yang Dingtians Nine Yang Mystic Meridians! Back at the Yin Yang Sect, Yang Dingtian was only an Initiate and was still alive even after suffering a stunning attack from Zhu Hongxue. But after the treatment and recuperation from Ximen Wuyas countless mystic qi, he managed to awaken and make a full recovery. Thus, despite the fact that Yang Dingtian was just a low classed Mystic Martial Warrior, his mystic meridians resistance was extremely tough! Qin Shaobais powerful mystic qi attack might be able to rupture other peoples mystic meridians and turn them into a pulp. But to Yang Dingtian, he only merely suffered some damage to his mystic meridians. Just as the earlier attack struck Yang Dingtian, Ximen Yanyan immediately shut her eyes and didnt dare to look, she feared that she might see the scene where Yang Dingtians blood would splatter. Only when she heard the gasping voices, she then managed to dare to open her eyes. She saw Yang Dingtian semi-kneeling on the ground, even though his face was robbed of the color of blood. He was ultimately still alive. She felt both relief and sorrow in her heart and almost fainted. Yang Dingtian struggled to stand with the Night Owl Giant Blade and shouted at Qin Shaobai, Is your standard only at this level? If it is, then you will not be able to kill me. You mentioned that if you cannot kill me in five moves, it would be your loss! Right now, Qin Shaobais face was indeed plastered with shock, not because Yang Dingtian demonstrated the strength of a three-star Mystic Martial Warrior, it was true that this fact was shocking enough. However, the reason he was shocked was that a Mystic Martial Masters power was unable to kill a Mystic Martial Warrior. Earlier on, in order to raise morale around, he said that he was going to kill Yang Dingtian in five moves. If Yang Dingtian didnt die by the fifth move, then it would be his, Qin Shaobais loss. Ximen Yanyan would be declared not guilty when that happened. Qin Shaobai was filled with absolute confidence, hence he made this declaration. In fact, he had the absolute confidence to instantly kill Yang Dingtian by the second move. To declare the thing about the fifth move was actually just a buffer. But he didnt expect that Yang Dingtian would still be alive after the second move, this caused Qin Shaobai to have some regret. After hearing Yang Dingtians statement, Qin Shaobai replied in a cold voice, Whats the hurry? This is only just the second move, there are three more. You have already thrown half your life away now. I would like to see how are you going to resist against this third move. After making this statement, Yang Yan and the others felt instantly relieved. They were stunned by the fact that Yang Dingtian was still alive after the second move and didnt look enough to realize that Yang Dingtian only had half his life left. Qin Shaobai would surely increase the power of his next moves. Yang Dingtian would surely be unable to withstand it, he might even simply perish on the third move. Primal Chaos Exterminating Sword. Third sword, Sun and Moon Ruin! Qin Shaobai roared and shot up into the sky like a shooting star. The Blood Black Gold Sword was flipping and brandishing in the air while the sword abruptly shot out a dazzling four-meter-long sword light. The sword light fluttered in the sky, emitting blinding radiance which even overwhelmed the brilliance of the twin suns above them. Die, Yang Dingtian! With the radiance at its extremity, Qin Shaobais body shot towards Yang Dingtian with the speed of a shooting star again. The sword light in his hand was revolving frenziedly while forming a whirlpool of death engulfing Yang Dingtian. At this moment, everything that was within several feet of Yang Dingtian had been devoured by the sword light, this caused everything to vanish! Such a giant sword light devour formation was inescapable and unavoidable. After seeing Yang Dingtians body completely consumed and vanish without a trace, the corner of Qin Shaobais mouth revealed a sinister smile. I shall see how you will survive this. Yang Yan finally let out a long breath and sneered. Yang Dingtian, youre finally dead. Ximen Yanyan cried out a mournfully while spurting out a mouthful of fresh blood. Ximen Ningnings expression was devoid of blood as she muttered to herself, Xiao Tian, sister believes you, sister believes you... But as she saw the sword light devour formation getting smaller and smaller, Ximen Ningnings body grew colder like ice, her eyes were filled with hatred and killing qi. What mission? What duty? I dont care about any of it. As long as Yang Dingtian dies, everyone present here shall be buried together. All these tens of thousands of people shall die together... Ximen Ningning was giving an icy and bloodthirsty speech. Immediately after her words, her eyes burst forth with a green light while her sleeves fluttered as horrific green qi permeated from her body. Let us all die together! Everyone shall be buried along with Yang Dingtian, including me! Just before an extremely toxic and powerful green energy was about to explode from Ningnings body. Concurrently, Madam Ximen abruptly drew her sharp sword and wanted to rush down after circulating her mystic qi. But just as she was circulating her mystic qi, she immediately spat out blood from her mouth and her delicate body went soft and collapsed back on her seat. Bang! A white flash of light suddenly pierced through Qin Shaobais sword light devour formation. A figure was shooting up tens of meters into the sky. The figure then suddenly descended and instantly shattered numerous boulders on the surface of the ground as it landed. Yang Dingtian had broken through Qin Shaobais sword formation. He had landed with his clothes completely shredded and his entire body was riddled with scars. Qin Shaobais sword light devour formation was too astounding, and once the enemy was engulfed, it would be like being slashed by countless sharp blades and blasted by countless energies. It would take an instant for the victim to be turned to mince. Even someone like Yang Dingtian who had the matchless Nine Yang Mystic Meridians, who could withstand great damage to the mystic qi would still be turned into mince as this was an attack that targeted the physical body. It should have immediately smashed Yang Dingtian into pieces, hence the Nine Yang Mystic Meridians wouldnt even have the chance to demonstrate its toughness. Seeing Yang Dingtian breaking out of his sword light devour formation, Qin Shaobai spoke with disbelief, How is this possible? How can you break out of my sword formation? This is impossible! You are just a display of a goats head selling dogs meat. Yang Dingtian spoke coldly, Are you sure this move is the Primal Chaos Exterminating Sword? Other people might not be able to escape the Devil Devour Sword Formation, but I clearly know of its flaws and can easily break this formation. Thats right. In order to kill Yang Dingtian, Qin Shaobais third move might seem to be the Sun and Moon Ruin from the Primal Chaos Exterminating Sword, but it was, in fact, the Evil Daos Devil Devour Sword Formation. This sword formation was created by the Evil Daos leader, Bury Sword Pool Master, Ouyang Yuanmo. When executing this sword formation, not only would it overutilize the practitioners energy, it would consume the mystic qi in the surroundings, giving it extreme lethality. It was completely unexpected for Qin Shaobai to actually know the martial arts of the Evil Dao. Furthermore, in order to kill Yang Dingtian, he even risked exposure and even used this Devil Devour Sword Formation. For centuries, it was unknown how many righteous sects experts had fallen to this Devil Devour Sword Formation. Dongfang Niemie had spent all his efforts in finding the flaws of this Devil Devour Sword Formation. During the most critical moment inside, Yang Dingtian had followed Dongfang Niemies advice and rushed towards the most dangerous place of the sword formation and broke out from it. After hearing the words Devil Devour Sword Formation, Qin Shaobai showed a slight reaction before he sneered. What Devil Devour Sword Formation? I dont know anything about that! This is obviously the Sun and Moon Ruin of the Primal Chaos Exterminating Sword. If this is truly the Devil Devour Sword Formation, do you think you would have survived? Yang Dingtian wiped the blood off his face before gasping for air, I will not debate with you. This sword formation should be your trump card right? If you cant even kill me with this, what are you going to do? There are only two moves left, if you still cannot kill me, then it shall be your loss. Is that so? Are you in such a hurry to die? Qin Shaobai laughed grimly and said, You only have a quarter of your life left right? I still have two moves. Id like to see if I cant kill you! Once Qin Shaobai finished speaking, he suddenly flashed towards Yang Dingtian, thrusting the Blood Black Gold Sword at Yang Dingtians head. Lets see if you will die like this! Qin Shaobai grinned sarcastically. Yang Dingtian possessed incredible innate mystic meridians which would resist against powerful mystic qi damage. Thus, Qin Shaobai chose to go for close combat and directly used his sword to kill Yang Dingtian. Qin Shaobai thought, Your mystic meridians might be able to withstand my mystic qi, but it shouldnt be able to withstand my sharp sword right?! Primal Chaos Exterminating Sword. Fourth sword, Stars Transformation! Once Qin Shaobais voice went silent, the sword in his hands let out a roar while thrusting rapidly at Yang Dingtian with extreme speed and profundity. There wasnt any sword light, but mystic qi was still poured into the sword. It made the extremely tough and sharp Blood Black Gold Sword truly indestructible. Fighting with swords? Ill like to see if your sword moves are superior to the Pig Slaying Sword Art, Yang Dingtian sneered in his heart. He gritted his teeth and endured the intense pain in his body, he clashed forward with his sword raised. Swish Swish Swish... Qin Shaobais sword was like a venomous snake that spat out powerful qi presence with every slash. Bang Bang Bang... Every time the sword presence hit the solid boulders of the plaza, it would leave behind a deep pit. Qin Shaobais sword moved fast, faster than lightning and even faster than Yang Dingtian. He was able to thrust ten times in a single second and every thrust was accompanied with powerful mystic qi, thus making the sword tip unstoppable. Yang Dingtians sword speed wasnt as fast as Qin Shaobai, but the Pig Slaying Sword Art was superior in terms of profundity. When Yang Dingtian executed the Pig Slaying Sword Art, he didnt follow the defined sword moves and didnt execute it according to the stiff moves stated in the manual. He had already executed the Pig Slaying Sword Art tens of thousands of times, he was extremely proficient, this meant that he could dissect the nine sword moves while organizing and pairing all of the sword moves as he pleased. Thus, no matter how fast Qin Shaobais sword was, Yang Dingtian could still resist against it. Currently, at the center of the plaza, it seemed as though only sparks and shadows of countless blades could be seen. It was extremely profound and dazzling. Everyone present here didnt expect to be able to witness such profound sword skills in this duel. In this world, sword skills werent the mainstream, especially to experts. It has always been the raw battle of mystic qi, mystic arts, and martial soul. In the entire world, only Adjudicator Wu Ying of the Yin Yang Sect could have attained the title of an expert with his pure sword skills. (TL note: Wu Ying = Shadowless) Thus, the battle between Yang Dingtian and Qin Shaobai was a rare duel of pure sword skills between experts for the past few decades. Clang Clang Clang... Both their speeds became faster and faster, and in a single breath, the two swords would crisscross almost a hundred times. Every clash would bring about a bunch of sparks. Hence in a single split moment, they would produce countless sparks and chilling flashes. The current Yang Dingtian felt as though he was in the abyss of hell. He was able to withstand Qin Shaobais sword which was getting faster, but he was completely unable to endure Qin Shaobais mystic qi getting stronger and more severe with every blade. Every clash dealt severe damage to his mystic meridians. However, Yang Dingtian had to forcefully receive every impact. If he was to miss out even a single blade, Qin Shaobais sword would immediately penetrate his head. Clink Clink Clink Clink... Qin Shaobais sword sprayed down at Yang Dingtian like a violent storm. Every blade was filled with surging mystic qi. For the last few dozens of clashes, Yang Dingtian would spit out a mouthful of blood with every clash. In just a few breaths, fresh blood would rain down violently nonstop. Immediately after, Yang Dingtians arm which was wielding the sword already had traces of net-like cracks. Half the skin on his body were bursting open. In an instant, half of Yang Dingtians body immediately sprayed out fresh blood violently. He had already reached his limits! Qin Shaobais volume of mystic qi was several folds more than Yang Dingtian, maybe even more than ten folds. If Yang Dingtian was to receive one more blade, his body might just give way and immediately explode. Seeing that Yang Dingtian was at deaths door, Qin Shaobai revealed a sinister smile, despite the fact that he was acting shamelessly since this fourth move was too long. However, all the moves he executed were all from the fourth sword move, Stars Transformation of the Primal Chaos Exterminating Sword. The center of the plaza was almost entirely dyed red by Yang Dingtians blood. Everyone present could see that Yang Dingtian was just like a blood man dueling with Qin Shaobai. This might not be the most overwhelming duel they had witnessed with their eyes, but it was definitely the most bloody and desperate duel. Everyone was lamenting in their hearts that if they were in Yang Dingtians place, they would have already died in the beginning and wouldnt even be able to resist until now. S?a?ch* Th? N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Ximen Ju who was on the city walls saw that Yang Dingtian was drenched in blood let out a faint and odd sneer, he was hiding a fist that was clenched tightly in his sleeve. The current Yang Dingtian felt that he would collapse and might perish at any moment due to the fact that he was injured and under the powerful destructive power of Qin Shaobai, his consciousness and willpower were getting weaker by the moment. He felt as though there was a voice echoing in his mind. Quickly use the Evil Soul Art, use the soul tool ring. There is a powerful spirit soul inside. You just have to sense it, use the Soul Burst to solve all the problems. Once you do, Qin Shaobai will be instantly killed. Quickly use the Evil Soul Art, quickly use it! You will be able to turn the tables instantly and win. Not only will you be able to save Ximen Yanyans life, but you will also be worshipped and revered. Quickly, use the Evil Soul Art! Quickly, use the Evil Soul Art... In Yang Dingtians mind, there was a constant changing voice that was trying to convince Yang Dingtian to use the Evil Soul Art. He heard Ximen Yanyans voice, Ximen Ningnings voice, and Ximen Wuyas voice... At this moment, the situation of the duel was getting increasingly intense and Qin Shaobais sword too was getting progressively violent. Yang Dingtians injuries were getting severe and the blood he vomited was piling up in volume. He was getting closer to getting destroyed. Child, if you use the Evil Soul Art. I will not blame you, Yang Dingtians mind suddenly echoed with another voice, it was Dongfang Niemies voice. Its definitely an illusion... its an illusion... I dont want to hear it! Yang Dingtian was roaring in his mind with rage. This isnt an illusion. Its me, its your master... Dongfang Niemie said, I wont advise you to use the Evil Soul Art, but if you do you use it now, then I will not blame you... Really? But... wont my spirit soul be completely corrupted and my path to the pinnacle utterly ruined? Yang Dingtian asked. However, there is nothing more important than life right? Dongfang Niemie commented. At this moment, Yang Dingtians willpower was getting weaker as the duel went on. The urge and temptation to use the Evil Soul Art to instantly kill Qin Shaobai was getting stronger and stronger. As long as he channeled out the soul tool ring from the spatial ring and sensed the spirit soul within it to release the powerful puppet spirit soul... Everything would be solved easily, Qin Shaobai would be instantly killed and he wouldnt just save his own life, he would also be able to save Ximen Yanyans life and obtain the worship from everyone in Cloud Heaven City. For a split second, Yang Dingtian used his spirit to sense the soul tool ring inside the spatial ring. The ring currently looked extremely beautiful and very enticing. Hehe... Human nature is and will always be ugly, I know it all too well... Just as Yang Dingtian was about to reach and grab the soul tool ring, his mind suddenly echoed out with Dugu Xiaos grim laughter and the mockery which was filled with despise and confidence. Wait until the moment you are about to be killed by Qin Shaobai before you declare all this. You will definitely use the Evil Soul Art. Human nature is truly ugly and I know it all too well! Dugu Xiaos laughter of disdain continued to echo in his mind again and again. If I am to use the Evil Soul Art... Not only will my spirit soul be completely corrupted. I will also utterly lose the battle of spirit against Dugu Xiao, Yang Dingtian muttered to himself. His spirit grew stronger at the moment when he was at his weakest. Am I going to trade my defeat in the battle with Dugu Xiao for the victory in the duel against Qin Shaobai? No! Master! I will not use the Evil Soul Art. I will never use it. Tell me. If the current me doesnt use the Evil Soul Art, what other ways can I use to achieve victory? No matter the risk and the cost! Yang Dingtian asked. Dongfang Niemie went silent for a second before saying, There is a way. But there is also a 99% chance that you might die... What you need to do is to control the sword soul. This Night Owl Giant Blade is originally Zhao Wujis failed soul sword, there is a violent and uncontrollable sword spirit hidden within. Use your spirit soul to control the sword spirit to win against your duel with Qin Shaobai. But... the result will cause your spirit soul to scatter even if you manage kill him... This is a much better choice than using the Evil Soul Art. Master, teach me how to control that brutal sword soul. Its my only chance even if I might die nine out of ten times, no, even if I am certain to die, Yang Dingtian requested. Dongfang Niemie said, There is an even greater consequence when you make contact with this brutal sword soul. It will have great impact in the future when you try to cultivate your own perfect sword soul. Perhaps, just perhaps... it might be irreversible. Now... are you going to still going to choose this path? Using the Evil Soul Art would be simpler and more direct. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath. Controlling the violent sword soul to fight might be of certain death and even if it succeeded, it would be of great consequence to his future cultivation of the sword soul. While the Evil Soul Art was a simple and easy way to kill Qin Shaobai instantly. Master, I have decided! I will never use the Evil Soul Art! I will summon the sword spirit in the Night Owl Giant Blade and kill Qin Shaobai! Chapter 128: Qin Shaobai’s Destruction! (Part 2) Chapter 128: Qin Shaobais Destruction! (Part 2)Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Master, I have decided! I will never use the Evil Soul Art! I will summon the sword spirit in the Night Owl Giant Blade and kill Qin Shaobai! Yang Dingtian spoke resolutely. ... While Yang Dingtian was conversing with his master in his mind, he was still in an intense battle with Qin Shaobai. Qin Shaobai had completely taken the upper hand while Yang Dingtian was surrounded by perils. His life was in constant danger! Suddenly, Yang Dingtians feet got sluggish and the sword in his hand slowed down. Qin Shaobai was ecstatic as he thought, This is the moment! Yang Dingtian, your time of death has arrived! Qin Shaobai let out a crazed yell while the sword in his hand suddenly extended a 50-foot sword light. Qin Shaobai then thrust at Yang Dingtian instantly while his eyes burst with a strange and demonic glow. The distance was less than half a foot, not even an immortal could dodge it. Yang Dingtian suddenly raised his Night Owl Giant Blade and blocked against this formidable sword light. Bang! The sword light struck on the Night Owl Giant Blade in Yang Dingtians hand, it sent Yang Dingtian flying out for several meters. Immediately after, Qin Shaobai let out a sinister smile and slashed his sharp sword horizontally at Yang Dingtians chest and ribs. Primal Chaos Exterminating Sword. Fifth sword, Heaven and Earth Extermination. Die! DIE! Qin Shaobai roared with ecstasy. Subsequently, Qin Shaobais sword light extended sharply by 60 feet this time. This was the power of a four-star Mystic Martial Master! Thats right, this was Qin Shaobais true strength, he was actually a four-star Mystic Martial Master! He declared to everyone that he was a nine-star Mystic Martial Warrior, however, he was actually a four-star Mystic Martial Master. He hid the difference of five classes and his actual strength was actually a few folds stronger than what he had declared. Ximen Lie and Madam Ximen knew that Qin Shaobai had broken through to the Mystic Martial Master. However, they didnt expect for him to be a four-star Mystic Martial Master and was five classes superior to Yang Dingtian. This was the final moment. Qin Shaobai frenziedly poured out all of his energy to his limits. After Yang Dingtian was sent flying into midair, Qin Shaobai executed the fifth move of the Primal Chaos Exterminating Sword, Heaven and Earth Extermination! At this moment, there was only the giant sword light which looked as though it was going to pierce through heaven. Kill! Kill! Kill! Qin Shaobai roared out with malevolence towards Yang Dingtian who was still in midair. He then abruptly slashed with his final attack, the light in his eyes looked even more demonic than ever. Boom! There was a loud echo. The sword light penetrated Yang Dingtians body and directly cleaved down at the hard surface of the plaza. It was as though a thunderbolt struck down leaving behind a deep and charred scar which was four feet deep and fifty feet long. Yang Dingtian who was bleeding profusely with fresh blood was sent flying several meters, he crashed hard into the hard surface of the plaza, smashing a deep pit in the ground as his entire body sank into the ground. No one expected the result to be so brutal! Everyone present viewed Yang Dingtian with hostility. However, when Yang Dingtian was faced with such a tragic ending, they should have been in great delight, but none of them were laughing. Ximen Yanyans originally beautiful eyes had lost all of its spirit, she was at a loss. She walked out step by step with a stupefied expression while her chest still had traces of blood. She muttered to herself, Husband... I will accompany you... I will accompany you... She walked on towards the end of the city wall and was about to jump off directly. As for Ximen Ningning. Her entire body was blueish-green and she had already fainted in her seat. Madam Ximens entire body was trembling. She clenched her teeth hard and continued to repeat to herself, I hate myself... I hate myself... Ximen Lies eyes were flushed with blood as he glared at Qin Shaobai who had an insolent expression on his face. He said in a cold voice, Yang Dingtian, you can die in peace. I will take revenge for you... In ten days, I will cut off Qin Shaobais head no matter the cost. Qin Shaobai withdrew his sinister smile and slowly walked in front of Yang Dingtian, he spoke indifferently, I have already said this! I would take your life as though Im killing livestock in five moves. Not more, not less! Subsequently, Qin Shaobai turned to look at the city wall and said, In this duel, Yang Dingtian has perished in battle. Ximen Yanyans crimes have been determined and she shall be punished severely! Yang Yan took a few steps forward and was about to announce the verdict of the duel. Qin Shaobai knelt before Yang Dingtian and whispered, Yang Dingtian. You were right. I did do it and I did kill Tang Xin. That foolish woman saw something that she shouldnt have. Do you know what I did? I asked her to beg first, then I used evil arts to humiliate her. She swore on her parents name that she would not say a word and even asked me not to kill her. I agreed, but once she turned around, I killed her. I framed everything on Ximen Yanyan, Qin Shaobai paused and continued, Dont you worry. I wont kill Ximen Yanyan and Yan Peipei. Both of them have already lost their husbands. One is a budding beauty, while the other is a matured beauty, how could I ever bear to kill them? Finally, Qin Shaobai said in Yang Dingtians ears, Alright then. I have said everything. You can die in peace now. Dont you worry, I will take good care of your Ximen Yanyan, Ximen Ningning, and Madam Ximen for you... Finishing his statement, Qin Shaobai stood up and looked at Yang Yan. Grand Elder, you can announce the verdict now. Yang Yan looked at all the people in the plaza and spoke in a clear voice, I announce that in this duel, Yang Dingtian has perished in battC Before Yang Yan could finish his announcement, there was this sudden uproar in the plaza as everyone looked behind Qin Shaobai. When Qin Shaobai heard something behind him, he couldnt help but shiver as he felt his blood run cold while he slowly turned around. Impossible, its definitely impossible! Qin Shaobai muttered to himself, he turned around little by little as though his body had rusted. He then exclaimed and revealed an appalling expression as though he saw a ghost. Everyone had thought that Yang Dingtian was dead, but he actually sat up in the pit while holding onto the Night Owl Giant Blade, he stood up slowly before walking out. Yang Dingtian raised his giant blade and pointed it at Qin Shaobai from a distance. This should be your loss since you were unable to kill me after five moves. However, it would be too unfair for you, hence, I shall give you a chance to perform a sixth move! Qin Shaobais fifth move wasnt able to kill Yang Dingtian because Yang Dingtian had already completely merged with the brutal sword soul. With Qin Shaobais current strength, he was unable to do any damage to Yang Dingtian. At this moment, Yang Dingtians eyes were scarlet red and were flooded with fresh blood, hatred, and sorrow. Thats right, he was currently in control of the violent sword spirit within the Night Owl Giant Blade. But the price that he paid was that he was currently unable to sense his masters, Dongfang Niemies existence. Despite the fact that a huge portion of the brutal sword soul had been destroyed in the battle against the Night Owl, the small portion of this sword soul left was still incomparably formidable and violent. Yang Dingtian would rather die than willingly use the Evil Soul Art or the evil soul tool ring. Hence he chose to control this brutal sword soul as a way to strike back. However, only by tempering the sword soul step by step would the owner be able to fight along with the sword soul. The violent sword spirit inside this sword was something that even Zhao Wuji couldnt control. Perhaps because Yang Dingtians body already had the brutal sword spirit and Night Owls energy presence, or maybe perhaps the violent sword soul had been restrained by the Night Owl. In short, Yang Dingtian was successful in controlling a major portion of this sword soul. Of course, it was merely a major portion. At the last moment, the sword spirits violent backlash nearly ripped Yang Dingtians spirit soul into pieces. Right at this moment, Dongfang Niemies spirit soul appeared and abruptly suppressed this final bit of backlash from the sword soul. But since Dongfang Niemie was just a spirit soul remanent, after he restrained the sword soul, Yang Dingtian could no longer feel Dongfang Niemie anymore. At this moment, Yang Dingtian tasted regret again. If he wasnt this stubborn and just used the Evil Soul Art, this wouldnt have happened. But, there was no longer this if. Right now, Yang Dingtian had successfully merged with the violent sword soul and had endless wrath and violence that was about to pour out. I will give you a chance. The chance to perform your sixth move. Quick! Yang Dingtians roar seemed to resonate like thunder in the sky. His infuriated roar nearly caused his body to explode. Qin Shaobais body shivered before he spoke with a sinister smile, Terminal lucidity huh? Since you arent thoroughly dead, then I shall chop you up into pieces! Finishing his declaration, Qin Shaobai smeared his palm on the Blood Black Gold Sword, causing an instant burst of blood mist that coated the originally red sword, making it look black vermillion. Boom! Immediately after, the Blood Black Gold Sword suddenly burst into flames along with Qin Shaobais body. Primal Chaos Exterminating Sword. Sixth sword, Primal Chaos Extermination! At this moment, the surroundings of Qin Shaobais body suddenly dimmed as though all the light surrounding him gathered on the sword. The entire Blood Black Gold Sword and his body seemed to have merged into one. Thoroughly turning this formerly eight feet giant sword into a blazing giant sword. Swish! Qin Shaobais man and sword combination abruptly gave rise to a sword light which was over a hundred feet long. The purple sword light shot up with glamor as though it was going to pierce the sky. This was the Primal Chaos Exterminating Swords final sword move and it was also the most frightening one. The sword would utilize all the cultivation of the practitioner and drastically increase its lethality by several folds. Thus, the Primal Chaos Exterminating Sword might be an 8th-grade martial skill, it was also the most tyrannic martial skill. No one would willingly provoke an expert who was proficient in the Primal Chaos Exterminating Sword since once the practitioner risked their life, they would even be able to kill an enemy which was two or three folds stronger than themselves. Right now, Qin Shaobai actually exhausted all his mystic qi to execute this tyrannical sixth sword move, Primal Chaos Extermination! Die! Die! Die! Qin Shaobai roared out while the gigantic sword light cleaved down at Yang Dingtians head. Die! Ximen Ju who was observing from the city wall pushed out his fist while fresh blood burst forth from his palm. In an instant, the sky above the plaza changed in color while the surface of the ground trembled. Everyone held their breaths, waiting to see Yang Dingtian being severed into pieces and turned into dust. Ahh! Yang Dingtian let out an enraged roar while wielding the Night Owl Giant Blade and cleaved upward. Roar! The heaven and earth dimmed as though dragons and tigers were calling out. It was as if the devil himself was roaring in a frenzy. Unknowingly, the blazing flames on Qin Shaobais body went dark. Subsequently, a ferocious and sinister light suddenly rushed out from Yang Dingtians Night Owl Giant Blade. It was blood red and pitch black. The two lumps of light surged out like prehistoric giant beasts, they crashed into Qin Shaobais giant sword light. Boom! An extremely violent explosion burst forth with a blinding light causing the twin suns to lose its color. With Qin Shaobai and Yang Dingtian at the center of the plaza, countless giant boulders tumbled into dust, a few hundred meters of the plaza was shattered, leaving behind a giant pit. Pfff... Once the light destroyed Qin Shaobais sword light, the remnants of the sword spirit rushed into Qin Shaobais body. No! Yang Yan let out a miserable cry. Bang! Qin Shaobais body was struck into midair while violently spurting blood. Now. You can die! Yang Dingtian roared with rage while he leaped into midair. The Night Owl Giant Blade surged with radiance, turning into a red sword light that vigorously slashed at Qin Shaobai who was suspended in the air. Pig Slaying Sword Art, first sword. Piercing Throat and Releasing Blood! Pig Slaying Sword Art, second sword. Disembowel! Pig Slaying Sword Art, fourth sword. Getting Rid of the Heart and Lungs! s?a??h th? n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. ... Blade after blade after blade after blade! Countless sword lights, blood-red sword lights, continued to slash at Qin Shaobai in a frenzy without resting. Qin Shaobais body was still suspended in the air and was unable to fall. Every sword light would slash on his body frantically. Every blade would cause fresh blood to spray violently. Every blade would cause his body to vigorously tremble which caused his bones to echo when fractured. Kill, kill, kill, kill... Chapter 129 Chapter 129Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Kill, kill, kill, kill... Everyone was shocked by this scene and no one could react in time. How did this happen? Qin Shaobai who had the upper hand and was restraining Yang Dingtian so much that he couldnt resist was now being tormented in midair. His clothes were in tatters and his entire body was naked. His body was in a bloody mess as his blood spurted violently, he looked even worse than Yang Dingtian had been earlier. The current Qin Shaobais meridians were all ruined by Yang Dingtians drawn-out brutal sword spirit, his entire body was in bad shape. Of course, he didnt have any signs of resisting and allowed Yang Dingtian to continue tormenting him. Ahh! Ahh! There was a mournful scream that came from the tall platform, a beautiful woman rushed out. It was Yang Shishi, Qin Shaobais birth mother. Earlier, she had been hiding in the crowd and silently witnessed how her son tried to kill Yang Dingtian. Afterward, when the situation changed and now that it was Yang Dingtian who was trying to kill Qin Shaobai, her mind felt as though it was struck by lightning. She instantly lost her senses when she saw her son was about to be killed, it was as if she suddenly woke up. Bang! Qin Shaobais body crashed hard on the ground and was motionless and silent like a lump of mud. Yang Dingtian landed and stomped on Qin Shaobais head, he spoke in an apathetic voice, You shameless bastard. You did something hideous and was spotted by Tang Xin. You killed her and then you framed Yanyan. You even slandered Madam Ximen with slanderous rumors, tainting her reputation. You deserve death and you deserve to be killed... Afterward, he aimed at Qin Shaobaos lower body. With a vigorous and violent slash, he used his sharp sword to turn Qin Shaobai into a eunuch. No! Yang Shishi let out a miserable shriek. Pig Slaying Sword Art! Chop off the limbs and severe the head! Yang Dingtian raised the giant sword and was just about to chop off Qin Shaobais head and limbs. Right now, his eyes were blood red and his face was icy cold and bloodthirsty, as though he was possessed. No! no... Please... Mercy on the blade, mercy on the blade... Yang Shishi sobbed and exclaimed, Yang Dingtian, listen to me for a moment... just a moment... Yang Dingtian looked up coldly and faced Yang Shishi, he said, Speak! I dont know if Shaobai is dead or alive, but as long as your sword doesnt slash now. I will forget everything that you have done to Shaobai. The Northwest Qin Clan will not take revenge in any form. Otherwise, no matter where you try to escape in this world, the Northwest Qin Clan will find you and severe you into pieces, Yang Shishi proposed. I will not be threatened! Yang Dingtians giant blade started to fall down. He couldnt sense Dongfang Niemie anymore and due to the surging rage he was feeling, he simply desired to dismember Qin Shaobai into thousands of pieces. In order to kill Qin Shaobai, he had to summon the brutal sword spirit in the Night Owl Giant Blade to fight. As a result, his masters consciousness was shattered because he helped to suppress the sword spirits backlash. How would Yang Dingtian not be infuriated? Wait! WAIT! I will... I will ask the entire Northwest Qin Clan to fully support... support you as the City Lord of Cloud Heaven City. As long as you dont drop your blade, Yang Shishi was wailing as she spoke. The love she has for her son is engraved deep into her bones, otherwise, she wouldnt have offered such conditions. The things that I want, I will go get myself. I dont need other people to give them to me, Yang Dingtian spoke proudly. We will proclaim Ximen Yanyan as not guilty. I will immediately return her to you. Yang Shishi spoke with anxiety. I already won the duel, hence Ximen Yanyan is already not guilty. Have you finished speaking? If you have, I shall dismember Qin Shaobai into thousands of pieces! Yang Dingtian spoke coldly before he was about to slash down at Qin Shaobais neck. Foolish child, wake up... Dongfang Niemies frail voice suddenly echoed in Yang Dingtians mind. Yang Dingtians body shivered and his eyes instantly regained clarity. He welled up with ecstasy just as his sword was about to severe Qin Shaobais head, he quickly twisted his wrist. Bang! The giant sword struck into the hard ground of the plaza and left a deep crack. Master, youre alright?! Yang Dingtian was ecstatic. I dont know... However, I will certainly have to leave you for a period of time. My consciousness was shattered when I tried to control the brutal sword soul earlier. I will have to re-condense my shattered spirit soul again. If I succeed, I will be able to accompany you again. If I cant, I will have to leave you forever... Dongfang Niemie spoke with a weak voice, Hence, I will not be around during this period of time. You will have to rely on yourself. Master, you will be back. I believe in you. Yang Dingtian spoke loudly in his heart, Moreover, no matter how far I need to go, I will find a way to bring you back from the other side. I will also find a way to rescue Master Uncle Ximen. These are my missions. They are my greatest missions ever since I came to this world. Silly child, youre still so obstinate... Dongfang Niemie said, When at the most dangerous moment, you risked having your spirit soul destroyed by the sword soul rather than use the Evil Soul Art. You arent like that Great Devil Dugu Xiao who would concede defeat and compromise. I am very proud and glad... Yang Dingtian replied, I knew that the price was for you to leave me... I might already have regrets in my heart... Do not regret, you did the right thing. Dongfang Niemie informed, Im going to leave now. I do not know when I will awaken or if I will ever awaken again. But I have two things that I have to tell you. So listen up. Yes, master. I will do it according to your advice, Yang Dingtian replied. Firstly... From today, from now on, from this moment onwards, dont use the Night Owl Giant Blade again. I know that it is very powerful. Once you succeed in using the sword spirit inside, you can even kill experts that are 20 classes superior to you. But promise me, from today onwards, You will not use this sword. Otherwise, you will never be able to temper a true sword soul in your life and your cultivation will stop as it is. A true sword soul is a thousand folds, no, it is even ten thousand folds stronger. You can sell this sword or throw it into the lava. In short, you must never use it again. In fact, dont even touch it even if you are to become swordless because of it, Dongfang Niemie spoke in a solemn voice. Yes, master. From now on, I will never use this sword soul. I wont even touch it, Yang Dingtian affirmed. Swear on it! Dongfang Niemie demanded. I swear to never use the sword soul within this sword, Yang Dingtian said. That will be good. If you are to use it one more time, you will truly ruin your path towards the perfect sword soul. After this incident, you can immediately go to the southwest continent and look for the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. Then, you would need to go to the Flame Cloud Devil Cave to search for that extreme-grade earth fire. You can use the fire to forge your young sword and begin tempering the soul sword that truly belongs to you. This is the most important thing for you now, Dongfang Niemie said. His voice getting softer and weaker by the moment. Yes, master. Once things are settled here. I will set off to the southwest continent to look for the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. Yang Dingtian said, Please hurry up and rest so that you can quickly condense your shattered spirit soul. Then goodbye child. When Im not around, you have to rely on yourself. As for Qin Shaobai... Dongfang Niemies voice got softer and softer until it was finally inaudible. It had completely vanished deep into Yang Dingtians mind, he couldnt even finish saying the things regarding about Qin Shaobai. Yang Dingtians heart was filled with reluctance and sorrow. But Yang Dingtian strongly believed that his master would return and his voice would echo in his mind again. Right now, Yang Dingtians heart was bursting with rage and wrath at the moment he heard Dongfang Niemies speech gradually becoming silent. ********** At this moment, everyones eyes were fixed on Yang Dingtian, they wondered if he would slash down his sharp sword. He was the victor of the trial by duel and had the authority to take down the head of the loser. After taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtians eyes looked towards Yang Shishi and said, Madam Qin. I can stop my blade and I can even return Qin Shaobai back to you. But you have to promise me one condition. Say it, say it. No matter what the condition is, Ill agree to it. Yang Shishi said, Even if you need me to jump down from here... In an instant, everyone looked over at Yang Dingtian, wondering what kind of condition he would want. Yang Yan and the others were filled with animosity and wariness. Yang Dingtian said, My conditions are simple. Return the innocence that belongs to Ximen Yanyan and Madam Ximen back to them. At this moment, Yanyan happened to regain consciousness and heard Yang Dingtian talking. There was warmth in her eyes and the most tender part of her heart seems to have been struck hard. I ask you. Did Ximen Yanyan kill Tang Xin? Yang Dingtian asked. No, Tang Xin wasnt killed by Yanyan, Yang Shishi replied. Yang Dingtian asked again, Then, who killed Tang Xin? It... It was... Yang Shishis eyes flashed with determination, she said, She was killed by me, Yang Shishi. She saw something that she shouldnt have, so I killed her and framed Ximen Yanyan. There was a sudden uproar. Yang Dingtian was startled. Tang Xin was definitely killed by Qin Shaobai, but Yang Shishi said that it was her. Was this considered love as deep as the ocean? Immediately after, Yang Dingtian questioned, What about the rumors about Madam Ximen? Who spread them? Yang Shishi quickly responded, It was also me! In order to break your morale, and to let Shaobai ascend to the Cloud Heaven City Lord position, I desperately tried to slander your innocence. Everyone let out gasps of surprise and looked at Yang Shishi with disbelief. Yang Yan and the others had this ashen expression and were trembling from anger. They wouldnt have expected the ending to be like this. Every one of them assumed there was only one result and that was where Qin Shaobai instantly killing Yang Dingtian, where Madam Ximen would have to carry the burden of this scandal for life, where Ximen Lie and his men were banished from Cloud Heaven City. The Yang Clan assisted Qin Shaobai because they wanted true control over the Cloud Heaven City. They had gotten the first half nearly correct but they didnt expect the drastic change in the situation. Not only was Yang Dingtian not dead, he even demonstrated his prowess and even tormented Qin Shaobai. S?a??h th? N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. And in order to save Qin Shaobais life, Yang Shishi actually confessed to all the crimes. As such, Qin Shaobai would be completely notorious now while Yang Dingtian and Madam Ximen would have their innocence and honor restored, Yanyan would truly be not guilty. This result was a much better result than Yang Dingtian had imagined. Yang Dingtian turned around and shouted towards the tall platform, Grand Elder Yang Yan. You should have heard it. Tang Xin wasnt killed by Ximen Yanyan, she is innocent! Release her! Yang Yans expression abruptly changed and the muscles on his face twitched. He waved his hand and Ximen Yan released the blade that was placed on Yanyans neck reluctantly. Ximen Ju waved his hand gently and took away the red crystal, he released the mystic qi restriction on Yanyan. After Yanyan recovered her mystic qi, she immediately jumped off from the city wall and dashed towards Yang Dingtian at an incredible speed. Under the attention of everyone, she plunged into Yang Dingtians embrace like a lump of flames. My husband, during these days, I have constantly been thinking about you. Thinking about your voice, your embrace, and your naughty hands, Yanyan cried and spoke in a tender voice. Yang Dingtian held Yanyan tightly and voraciously sniffed the scent from her body. Stop sniffing. Ive only managed to take a shower once during these past few days, Yanyan spoke in a delicate voice. I still like this smell very much. Yang Dingtian smiled and patted on her back. You go over to big brother Ximen Lies side first. Mother isnt looking too good and Sister Ningning seems to have fainted. You go take care of them! Okay! Yanyan replied in a soft voice, she reluctantly tried to leave Yang Dingtians embrace. Her beautiful eyes released a gentle sentiment as she spoke, My husband. Tonight I will tell you everything that happened to me five years ago. Only then will Yanyan say goodbye to my past and become a weak and delicate girl. I will become a wife that only cooks and washes your clothes for you, okay? Okay, Yang Dingtian spoke in a tender voice. Throughout the entire process, the plaza was absolutely silent as they watched at how Yang Dingtian and Ximen Yanyan publicly displayed their affection. Some of them had bliss in their eyes, some had envy, while some were jealous. Ximen Yanyan was a peerless individual who was the no.1 beauty in the northwest and the princess of Cloud Heaven City. It was the dream of all men to be able to obtain her heart and body. After turning back three times in a single step, Yanyan left Yang Dingtians embrace and returned back to Madam Ximens side. ***************************** Madam Qin, please come and bring your son away, Yang Dingtian said. Yang Shishi jumped off from the city wall and immediately ran to the front of Yang Dingtian. Her seductive body bowed before she said, Thank you. She subsequently crouched down while trembling and carried Qin Shaobai, who was clearly in a bloody mess. Shaobai! Shaobai! Yang Shishi immediately dug her charming face into her sons chest which was drenched with blood. She then let out a sorrowful and grieving cry. Despite the fact that Qin Shaobai deserved this, Yang Dingtian still didnt know how to react to this scene. He nodded to Yang Shishi and immediately walked towards the Black Blood Cavalry. Long Live City Lord Yang Dingtian! Long Live! The brothers from the Black Blood Cavalry suddenly cheered out. At the beginning only around a hundred people were cheering, now, there were a few thousand individuals yelling out. It was obvious that Yang Dingtians great victory had given them a great boost in morale, they even yelled out Yang Dingtian as the city lord in advance. After the Black Blood Cavalry finished yelling, the rest of the martial artists in the Cloud Heaven City actually followed immediately after. The entire city plaza was instantly filled with cheers. Qin Shaobai had created rumors to ruin Yang Dingtians reputation. However, many of the members of the Cloud Heaven City didnt even believe it from the start. They believed that Yang Dingtian relied on his own talents to have rapid progress in cultivation. In their hearts, they were extremely hopeful for Yang Dingtian to demonstrate his prowess again, giving a slap to all those rumor mongers. Right now, Yang Dingtian actually did it! Not only did he prove his talents and strength again, he even gave a ruthless slap to the faces of Yang Yan and the others. He had completely destroyed the Northwest Qin Clan and Yang Yans groups conspiracy to topple the Cloud Heaven City. Yang Dingtian didnt disappoint the supporters and he didnt let down their trust. When Yang Yan and his men who were standing on the city walls saw this scene, their expressions instantly changed. He had nearly gathered all the members of the Cloud Heaven City for this duel and he even invited the influential figures in the Cloud Heaven City. He wanted to let everyone see how Qin Shaobai was going to demonstrate his prowess and let everyone see how Yang Dingtian perished in defeat, putting despair into all of Yang Dingtians supporters. But he never would have expected for all these to be a great advertisement for Yang Dingtian again. Of course, there was no way for them to know that Qin Shaobai would lose this duel. No matter from which angle or from any factor, Qin Shaobai shouldnt have lost and Yang Dingtian should have died. Who would have known that Qin Shaobai would be defeated? Right now, they had to prepare to face the thunderous wrath of the Northwest Qin Clans Patriarch. The third young master of the Northwest Qin Clan was a genius in the northwest continent, he was actually ruined in the Cloud Heaven City and in the hands of Yang Dingtian. It also indirectly meant that he was ruined in the hands of Yang Yan and his men. Yang Yan had the intention to stop all these, but he was at his wits end and couldnt just go back on his words in front of everyone to kill Yang Dingtian in fury right? Yang Yan couldnt help but turn to look at Ximen Ju. It was his basic instinct since Ximen Ju was the man with the deepest schemes in the Cloud Heaven City. Ximen Ju looked on at the cheering crowd as they yelled out Long Live Yang Dingtian, he had this gloomy expression on his face. Under the attention from everyone, Yang Dingtian walked step by step back to the Black Blood Cavalrys camp. Ximen Ju had this flash in his eyes while he indifferently yelled out towards Yang Dingtians back, Hold on! Chapter 130: Heaven Defying Sword Soul, Battle of Cloud Heaven City! (Part 1) Chapter 130: Heaven Defying Sword Soul, Battle of Cloud Heaven City! (Part 1)Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian got startled and stood still with his back facing Ximen Ju. He spoke in a cold voice, Why? Is Overseer Ximen going to go back on his words and deny the trial by duel? Of course not. Ximen Ju said apathetically, A loss is a loss and a victory is still a victory. The trial by duel is sacred and no one has the authority to break it. Thus, even if you were to have killed Qin Shaobai earlier, none of us could have stopped it. Yang Dingtian said, Then why are you stopping me? Ximen Ju looked over at Yang Shishi and spoke loudly, Yang Shishi is suspected of murder and shall be arrested immediately. A date shall be chosen for her trial. Once this statement was made, everyone had a change in expression, including Grand Elder Yang Yan, who was Yang Shishis father. Ximen Ju looked at Yang Yan with firm eyes and didnt say anything. Having his trust in Ximen Ju, Grand Elder Yang Yan nodded. Four of the enforcement warriors jumped off the city wall and went up to seize Yang Shishi. Yang Shishi was still immersed in her sorrow and merely shuddered for a moment after she was grabbed. She continued to hug Qin Shaobai and cried with agony, allowing the four of them to take her and Qin Shaobai away. Everyone instantly revealed a look of admiration seeing how Yang Yan and Ximen Ju were so impartial. Yang Dingtian, you cannot walk off like this. You have to wait for Grand Elder Yang Yan to announce the result, Ximen Ju said and walked over to Yang Yan, before he continued, Grand Elder, you can announce the result. Yang Yan had this change in expression and couldnt help but doubt what Ximen Ju was doing. Did he see the unfavorable change in the situation and wanted to become a turncoat? However, under everyones eyes and being forced by the situation, he had no way to turn the tables. Yang Yan took a deep breath and yelled out, I announce that this trial by duel is won by Yang Dingtian. Ximen Yanyan is declared not guilty! In an instant, the city plaza cheered in waves while Yang Yan and his group had even more awful expressions on their faces. Ximen Ju said, Yang Dingtian, do you feel that it is fair for everything to be settled in this way? Its fine, Yang Dingtian frowned, but he could instinctively feel that things wouldnt be ended so easily. It will be fine as long as it is fair. Ximen Ju continued. The trial by duel is a sacred thing. No one should desecrate it. We have to be fair to you and at the same time, we need the duel to be fair as well. I have a few questions for you. Please reply with the truth. Once this statement was said, everyone present turned silent. They could see that this matter had not ended and that there was going to be another dispute. Yang Dingtian turned around to look at Ximen Ju and said, Please ask. I will only answer the questions that are within my knowledge! I will ask. What stage is your mystic qi cultivation at right now? Ximen Ju asked in an indifferent tone. Yang Dingtian felt his heart turned cold. Ximen Ju truly had vicious eyes as he immediately found the crucial part. Three-star Mystic Martial Warrior, Yang Dingtian replied. Ximen Ju exclaimed in admiration, In just nine days, you increased your cultivation from nine-star Mystic Martial Artist to become a three-star Mystic Martial Warrior. Such talent and such pace of progress is something unheard of and unprecedented. When he heard how Ximen Ju praised him, Yang Dingtians eyebrows instantly kitted even more. Of course, I will not ask where you went during these nine days, and even what you used to breakthrough. These are all your secrets and you have the authority to not answer me, Ximen Ju immediately held the upper-hand in the conversation and stopped Yang Dingtian from speaking. Immediately after, Ximen Ju asked again, Im only asking you this. In normal circumstances, would a three-star Mystic Martial Warrior be able to defeat a four-star Mystic Martial Master? Someone who is eleven classes superior, and has several folds more cultivation? Furthermore, it was a fight that exceeded ranks. Under normal circumstances, and I repeat, under normal circumstances. Is there such a possibility? S?a??h the N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Under normal circumstances, it isnt. But needless to say, it is because Im special, Yang Dingtian replied. Thats right, youre abnormal, Ximen Ju said. I said Im special, not abnormal, Yang Dingtian corrected. Alright, Ill treat it as though youre special. Ximen Ju spoke in an apathetic voice, Over 200 years ago, there was also this special example. A special duel that everyone should still have an impression of. The circumstances were almost the same as todays situation. Once Ximen Jus words ended, everyones expressions instantly changed. It was true, and it was a very famous incident which had a long-lasting influence and had even changed the fate of countless people. That duel had ruined the formidable faction, Wooden Sword Castle and the lives of tens of thousands of people. The combatants of the duel were the Wooden Sword Castles Young Lord Li Tianxiao and Northwests Qin Clans Third Young Master Qin Yi. In addition, it involved a third party, which was our Cloud Heaven Citys ninth-generation City Lords daughter, Yan Tingting. Ximen Ju said, Back then, Young Lady Yang Tingting was an outstanding beauty who was titled as the Northwests no.1 beauty. The Northwest Qin Clan wasnt as powerful as the current generation and the Wooden Sword Castle had yet to decline back then, it was the only one of the clans in the Three Sects, Nine Clans. Yang Dingtian had certainly heard of Li Tianxiaos name, perhaps even the world had heard of this name. This was a name that had been notorious for over two centuries and a name that had committed evil crimes. He was the greatest traitor in the Heaven Dao Union for the past few centuries, with tens of thousands of lives that had fallen in his hands. In fact, Dugu Xiao had recently mentioned this name... The soul tool ring that he gave to Yang Dingtian even belonged to Li Tianxiao. Ximen Ju immediately continued, Back then, Li Tianxiao and Qin Yi simply adored Young Lady Yang Tingting. Li Tianxiao was talented, handsome, and dashing... but he was unrestrained. The Qin Clans Third Young Master had astounding talents and had martial prowess. Both of them were deeply in love with Young Lady Yang Tingting, however, she was ultimately unable to make a choice. Hence, Young Lady Yang Tingting decided to travel far away along with the two of them and cultivate in the dangerous Far West while hoping to be able to make the right choice during the midst of their travels. However, when they returned to the city half a year later... Li Xiaotian, Qin Clans Third Young Master, and Yang Tingtings corpse had appeared. The corpse had been extremely violated. Despite the fact that everyone had heard of this story before, they couldnt help but let out a sigh now that they were hearing it again. A spotless, fairy-like beauty with an esteemed status was a blessed woman who had the infatuation from two exceptional men. No one could have expected her to have such a miserable ending. Back then, Li Xiaotian and Third Young Master Qin Yi mutually accused each other of violating and killing Young Lady Yang Tingting. But none of them had any evidence to show. The Wooden Sword Castle, Cloud Heaven City, and Northwest Qin Clan had investigated for three months and still didnt have any conclusion. Hence, the two decided to have a trial by duel and whoever lost would be the sinner. Of course, this trial by duel had to be agreed upon by the three factions. The Wooden Sword Castles Young Lord, Li Tianxiao, Qin Clans Third Young Master, and Cloud Heaven City agreed to it. It was known to everyone that the Wooden Sword Castles Young Lord, Li Tianxiao was unrestrained but brilliantly talented. But in terms of the martial dao, he was far inferior to the Qin Clans Third Young Master. Back then, Li Tianxiao was only a four-star Great Mystic Martial Master, while Qin Yi was a five-star Martial Mystic expert. The two of them had a difference of eleven classes and it was a battle that exceeded ranks, Ximen Ju finished speaking and looked over at Yang Dingtian and smiled. It sure is a coincidence that the difference this time is also eleven classes and also a battle that exceeded ranks. Ximen Jus statement was harboring unfathomable motives, but Yang Dingtian didnt bother to care about it. Ximen Ju continued, Everyone assumed that Li Tianxiao wouldnt agree to the trial by duel, however, he unexpectedly agreed to it. It was similarly held on the Day of Trials of every month and similarly on midday. The trial by duel was held in Cloud Heaven City, thats right, its so coincidental that it was held at the same place as Yang Dingtian and Qin Shaobais duel. Whats even more coincidental is that the duel happened at midday on the 23rd of October. The time and place were exactly the same, however, it happened two centuries ago on the same date and same time. This statement harbored even more motives. The results were similarly shocking and unexpected. Just as the Wooden Sword Castles Li Tianxiao was about to die from defeat, he suddenly counterattacked with a sudden burst of strength, instantly killing Young Master Qin Yi. Ximen Ju said, Everone was appalled but no one dared to question it. But it was needless to say that the trial by duel was so sacred that no one dared to doubt it despite the fact that everyone had suspicions. However, everyone accepted the result. The Cloud Heaven City Lord announced that it was Li Tianxiaos victory and that he was not guilty, while the Qin Clans Third Young Master, Qin Yi perished in defeat and was found guilty. The Northwest Qin Clan were reluctant in their hearts, but the trial by duel was sacred, hence they accepted the conclusion. Yang Dingtian didnt hear this part of the story, but he knew what Ximen Ju was going to say next. Ximen Ju continued, If nothing ever happened later on, then this truth would have been buried. However, until one day when the Shrine of Exterminations Master, the worlds no.1 expert, Evil Daos no.1 supreme, Wan Wentian gathered all of the Evil Dao. He led the millions of the evil dao alliance army, emerging from the sea of hell and launched an extinction assault on the Primal Chaos World, annihilating countless lives in a short period of time. That was an unbearable recollection of the past and it was the blood and tears in the history of our righteous factions. Ximen Ju spoke in a mournful voice, What I want to say is that the Wooden Sword Castle, which was one of the Nine Clan which dominated the southwest continent. They were the hegemon that governed over a thousand miles and was the core strength of the Heaven Dao Union. But on the day where the Heaven Dao Unions army was about to have clash to the death with the Evil Dao in the northwest continent, all the experts in the Wooden Sword Castle had bizarrely perished over a single night while the Heaven Dao Unions southwest army which numbered in hundreds of thousands, were all infected with a plague. No one knew the reason until an individual appeared in the army of the Evil Dao and on the side of the Temple of Bloods Master, Dugu Beiming. That individual was the Wooden Sword Castles Young Lord, Li Tianxiao. It was he who killed all the experts in the Wooden Sword Castle and it was also him who caused the plague in the Heaven Dao Unions southwest army, which caused thousands to die. Since he was an insider that was planted by the Temple of Bloods Master! Afterwards, the truth of that trial by duel had been revealed, the truth of Yang Tingting being violated and killed had been revealed as well. Despite the fact that the trial by duel had been concluded more than a decade later and that the Qin Clans Third Young Masters corpse had already been cremated into ashes, the truth would always remain on this world for eternity. Ximen Ju looked over at Yang Dingtian and said, The truth was that when Li Tianxiao, Qin Yi, and Yang Tingting were traveling to the Far West, Yang Tingting had finally made the decision to pick Qin Yi. Li Tianxiao was enraged when he knew it, and so, he violated and killed Yang Tingting, and then framed Qin Yi. The reason why he accepted the trial by duel was simple, because the Temple of Bloods Master, Dugu Beiming had imparted Li Tiaoxiao an evil art, an extremely evil art called Evil Soul Art! Upon hearing the name of this evil art, Yang Dingtians body instantly shook for a moment. The Evil Soul Art uses an evil method to draw out and refine a martial artists spirit soul before storing it in a soul tool. During the fight, as long as the practitioner uses the Soul Burst Art, they would be able to use the puppet battle soul to instantly kill the enemy, even if the enemy is several folds, or even more than ten folds stronger than the practitioner. At that time, Li Tianxiao used poison to restrain his own blood uncle and forcefully drew out his spirit soul to refine him into a puppet battle soul. Subsequently, during the duel with Qin Yi, he lost in every exchange and was placed in a precarious situation. Just as Li Tianxiao was about to lose his life, he released the puppet battle soul from the soul tool and instantly killed Young Master Qin Yi, hence obtaining victory in the duel. Ever since that time, Li Tianxiaos spirit soul had been thoroughly corrupted and he had become the lackey for the Evil Dao. Finally, after more than a decade, he continuously committed grave crimes by destroying the entire Wooden Sword Castle and killing hundreds of thousands of righteous and innocent lives. This caused the entire southwest continent to completely lose their vigor, turning it into barren lands. Ximen Ju sneered and said, The most ridiculous thing was that he spoke of the truth in the end. Ximen Ju took a deep breath as though he was trying to regain his composure. He immediately continued, After the world extinguishing battle was over, the Wooden Sword Castle, Northwest Qin Clan, and Cloud Heaven City ruled that the trial by duel was won by Li Tianxiao with evil arts and the result had been annulled. They judged that Young Master Qin Yi was the victor and announced that he was not guilty despite the fact that Young Master Qin Yi had been dead for more than a decade, his crimes were finally wiped away and perhaps he might be able to rest in peace. Since then, the Heaven Dao Union gave the orders that anyone who uses evil arts in a trial by duel would be immediately determined as the loser and be dismembered instantly. This is because righteous and evil do not stand on one side. Our Heaven Dao Union has zero tolerance for the Evil Dao and shall slaughter them on sight! If one becomes a lackey for the Evil Dao, it will be of the most severe crimes! Finally, Ximen Ju looked at Yang Dingtian and said, Yang Dingtian, I do not wish to suspect you. But the circumstances today are just too similar to the one over two centuries ago. I am unable to imagine how you could achieve victory by exceeding the ranks and difference of eleven classes. Hence, I am officially suspecting you of colluding with the Evil Dao. You have used the Evil Soul Art to cheat and defeat Qin Shaobai. We will immediately seize you and investigate. So, you cannot leave for now! At this moment, Yang Dingtian wanted to laugh, however, he couldnt. He wanted to curse, but he couldnt utter a single word. At the final moment, even when he was about to die under the blade of Qin Shaobai, even if his soul was going to disperse due to the violent sword soul, he didnt choose to use the Evil Soul Art. He chose an extremely dangerous path which had a miserable consequence. He might have succeeded and defeated Qin Shaobai, but his master, Dongfang Niemies spirit soul had suffered destructive damage. Dongfang Niemie had to leave Yang Dingtian and might not even ever return. Furthermore, it might have even affected his future when he would try to cultivate his flawless sword soul. He suffered great consequences since he didnt wish to use the Evil Soul Art. However, this Ximen Ju actually wanted to use the sin of using an evil art and colluding with the Evil Dao to put the crime on him? How could he not be angry? How could he not feel like laughing? Hahaha! Yang Dingtian laughed. Overseer Ximen. How are you going to investigate? Ximen Ju said, Simple. Please tell me... You are eleven classes inferior to Qin Shaobai and was initially in a hopeless position. How were you able to strike back and turn the tide? Yang Dingtian was instantly rendered speechless. Ximen Ju laughed and continued, Of course. I wonder if there is something thats inconvenient for you to explain? Yang Dingtian said, There is nothing that cannot be declared. I was able to turn the tide because of a sword soul. I used a sword soul to fight. Once Yang Dingtian said this, everyone present was in a commotion again, most of them uttering unbelievable gasps. Of course, the majority of the people were still shocked by Yang Dingtians victory, hence they didnt turn this explanation into suspicions. But this was too insane and it had overturned everyones perception. In this world, only three individuals had cultivated a sword soul. Dongfang Niemie, Ximen Wuya, and an absolute expert who had always stayed secluded. The true worlds no.1, the Hidden Sects Sect Patriarch. All these three individuals were Grandmaster Class absolute experts, while Yang Dingtian was just a three-star Mystic Martial Warrior. Furthermore, when Qin Shaobai was defeated earlier, it all happened in an instant and no one saw it clearly. Qin Shaobai immediately vomited blood and was sent flying. No one knew how Yang Dingtian defeated him. Ximen Ju didnt have any signs of mockery shown on his face, instead, he spoke seriously, That is truly incredible. If I didnt remember wrongly, in this world, there are only three individuals who could use a sword soul to battle. All three of them are Grandmaster class experts. Of course, I do not want to look down on you, however, youre just a three-star Mystic Martial Warrior. The fact that you used the sword soul to battle is truly too unconvincing. Grand Elder Yang Yan who was by the side, sneered and said, Yang Dingtian. The evil soul and the sword soul are only different by a single word. Dont get confused between them. The evil soul is the Evil Daos possession, while the sword soul is the martial arts of the Righteous Dao, the symbol of an absolute expert. Isnt it too early for you to try wearing this symbol now? Once these comments were out, everyone present revealed a look of suspicion. Ximen Ju effortlessly knocked off the worship that Yang Dingtian had just built up. After all, Yang Dingtian using the sword soul to battle was truly unbelievable and impossible. The sword soul was the pinnacle of the martial dao in everyones heart. Yang Dingtians cultivation and age was indeed not qualified yet. Yang Dingtian, do you have any explanation for this? After all, it is unbelievable for someone of your age and cultivation to control a sword soul in battle, Ximen Ju spoke in a sincere voice. Yang Dingtian shook his head. I have nothing else to explain. You asked me what I used to defeat Qin Shaobai and I already told you that it was the sword soul. As for how I used it, I have no obligation to explain. This sword was given from the Terror Manor, if Yang Dingtian spoke about where it came from, it would definitely bring Zhao Mu a calamity. Ximen Ju frowned and sighed. Okay then, you dont have to say it. You said that you used sword soul to defeat Qin Shaobai. Even though it is unbelievable, I will treat it as the truth. However, you have to prove to everyone that you used a sword soul and not the Evil Soul Art. The muscles on Yang Dingtians face twitched a little as he spoke, How do I prove it? Very simple. Ximen Ju said, You just have to demonstrate it again. Use a sword soul and attack me. If you are able to draw out the sword soul, then you, Yang Dingtian will create the history of the millennium. I will publicly give you an apology in front of everyone. I will even support you to be the successor of the Cloud Heaven City. How about it? Yang Dingtian didnt respond. Ximen Jus expression turned cold as he continued, If you cannot draw out the sword soul to attack me. Then I have to apologize and suspect that you used the Evil Soul Art and that you are an insider from the Evil Dao. According to the orders from the Heaven Dao Union, we will judge that you have lost and that you will be executed on the spot and dismembered into pieces! Chapter 131: Heaven Defying Sword Soul, Battle of Cloud Heaven City! (Part 2) Chapter 131: Heaven Defying Sword Soul, Battle of Cloud Heaven City! (Part 2)Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Everyone present didnt feel that Ximen Jus condition was excessive, in fact, they felt that it was very fair and just. Yang Dingtian was the only one who knew about the ulterior motives behind Ximen Jus proposal. Yang Dingtian might have successfully controlled the violent sword soul to combat for once, but Dongfang Niemies spirit soul was nearly destroyed in the process. Yang Dingtian didnt have any guarantee that he could do it again, and it was almost certain death. Moreover, Yang Dingtian promised his master that he wouldnt touch that sword soul ever again. There was another important factor. If Yang Dingtian was to touch that violent sword soul again, and even if he succeeded, the consequence might be the complete obliteration of his masters consciousness and his body being crushed into smithereens. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, Im sorry. I cant do it! Ximen Ju frowned and asked, Why is that so? Yang Dingtian replied, Because I have decided that I will never use that sword soul again. Ximen Jus frown intensified as he said, Oh? Thats really a great coincidence. At this moment, everyone present couldnt help but have suspicion in their eyes. Their worship towards Yang Dingtian had completely turned into doubt. Immediately after, Ximen Ju said, Since youre unwilling to demonstrate the sword soul in battle, then we have to use another method. Everyone knows that there must be a soul tool in order to use the Evil Soul Art in battle. In order to prove your innocence, please accept to having your body searched in front of everyone. If there is no soul tool found, then it will prove your innocence. This should be fine right? Ximen Ju had this helpless and gentle tone, it made everyone feel that he was being really reasonable. In that instant, everyone looked at Yang Dingtian hoping that he would agree to it. Yang Dingtian was definitely not afraid of being searched, this was because the soul tool ring was within the spatial ring and even an immortal wouldnt be able to find it. But for a person like Ximen Ju, Yang Dingtian was treating him as a malicious individual and assumed that he might have an evil soul tool hidden somewhere. By then, Yang Dingtian wouldnt be able to cleanse his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River. Once he was slandered with the sin as an insider from the Evil Dao, he wouldnt even be able to die if he wanted to. Madam Ximen, Yanyan, and the others would be implicated as well. Apologies. I reject to having my body searched, Yang Dingtian replied. Ximen Jus voice instantly turned cold, Oh? Why is that so? Yang Dingtian spoke word by word, That is simply because I dont trust you. Furthermore, a body search would be an insult to me. Once Yang Dingtian said this, everyone was in an uproar. They all looked at Yang Dingtian with doubt, their previous goodwill towards him disappeared. In fact, some of them have already treated Yang Dingtian as an Evil Daos infiltrator. Yang Dingtian... Ximen Jus voice turned utterly icy cold as he spoke, This way isnt possible, that way wont do it either. Are you forcing us to our last resort? What last resort? Yang Dingtian asked indifferently. Ximen Ju continued speaking in an apathetic tone, Good and evil have never been on the same side of the coin. Cheating during the trial by duel may be a small problem. But... for the sake of the past centuries of Cloud Heaven Citys foundation, if you cannot agree to either of the two conditions stated, I will use martial force to make you stay. Immediately after, Ximen Ju drifted from the city walls and landed in front of Yang Dingtian. He slowly lifted the palm from his sleeve and said in a cold voice, I will give you one final moment to consider this. You will either demonstrate and control a sword soul to fight or you must agree to a body search. Otherwise, dont blame me for being merciless. For the foundation of the Cloud Heaven City and all tens of thousands of lives of everyone present, I have no choice but to be ruthless. Finishing his statement, Ximen Ju began to countdown. Five! Four! Three! Yang Dingtian suddenly replied, You dont have to count down. If you want to make a move, then do it now! Once his reply ended, Yang Dingtian lifted the Night Owl Giant Blade with both hands. Despite the fact that he was already powerless, riddled with wounds, and his mystic meridians were like dried out canals. Ximen Ju drew his palm from his sleeve and said, You forced my hand. Just as he said it, Ximen Ju was about to send out a palm strike. Hold it! Ximen Ju was suddenly interrupted by a yell, the man slowly walked out from the crowd. Lao Er. Today is not the day for you to fight with Yang Dingtian. Your fight will be held one year and five months later. If you want a fight, then fight me today. We all know you have been waiting for this day for a long time. Not only you but also everyone in Cloud Heaven City wants to know who is the strongest adopted son under our father. (TL note: Lao Er = Old Second, which means second in the seniority) Ximen Lie walked in front of Yang Dingtian and drew his giant artifact sword. Ximen Ju spoke coldly, Lao Da, now is not the time to be stubborn. We have plenty of opportunities to decide who is the stronger one later. Furthermore, everyone already knows that you are the no.1 adopted son under our father. Right now, we have to prove Yang Dingtians innocence, this could decide the fate of the future of Cloud Heaven City. Do not undermine the severity of this issue. TL note: Lao Da = Boss/Eldest, which means the eldest in seniority) Dont try to scare people with your words. Ximen Lie replied, I believe in Yang Dingtians innocence. So if you want Yang Dingtian to stay today, then you have to defeat me first. Ximen Lie spoke indifferently, Then what if Yang Dingtian is a spy from the Evil Dao? Who is going to take responsibility for this? I will take responsibility! Ximen Lie roared. What are you going to offer in exchange for the responsibility? Ximen Ju asked. My life! If Yang Dingtian used the Evil Soul Art or if hes a spy from the Evil Dao, I will submit my life for the world! Ximen Lie roared furiously. You arent qualified and your life isnt worth much. Ximen Ju said in a cold tone, This involves the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. This involves centuries of the foundation of Cloud Heaven City, just your life alone isnt sufficient. Ximen Ju sighed and said, Lao Er, Im not your foe in terms of schemes or arguments. But I do know some of your thoughts. You simply want Yang Dingtian to die and be the City Lord of Cloud Heaven City right? I am the type of man who likes to talk with my sword. I stand with my terms. If you want Yang Dingtian to stay, then you have to step over my corpse. Lao Da, think this through carefully. Youre trying to make Cloud Heaven City and the entire Heaven Dao Union your enemy. Are you going to cut yourself from Cloud Heaven City? Ximen Ju asked. He then looked at Yang Yan and said, Grand Elder, youre the highest hierarchy in Cloud Heaven City, say something. Yang Yan spoke slowly, Ximen Lie, as the Grand Elder of Cloud Heaven City, I am warning you. If you forcefully obstruct Ximen Jus investigation, then you will be ruining Cloud Heaven Citys history. I will banish you from the Elder Committee and from Cloud Heaven City. Do you want to make a move? Sure, go ahead, but once you do it, you will no longer be a member of Cloud Heaven City and you shall never take another step inside. You better consider it. Ximen Lie sneered and said, Grand Elder, you dont have the authority to banish me just by yourself. I cant, but the Elder Committee can, right? Yang Yan snorted. Now, the Elder Committee will decide by vote. If Ximen Lie tries to obstruct Ximen Ju from investigating the suspected Evil Daos spy, then Ximen Lie will be banished from Cloud Heaven City immediately! All those who agree, second a motion. I agree! I agree! Tang Bozhao said. I agree! Ximen Ju said. I agree! Elder Yan Bieli said. I agree! Elder Mu Huali said. I abstain, Abyss Castles Ximen Nu said. This was the first time Yang Dingtian saw him. Ximen Nu was wearing an impressive white armor, he looked dashing and prideful. I disagree! The frail Madam Ximen said. Cloud Heaven City had a total of nine elders, and right now, seven of them had made their votes. Elder Mu Ye was in the Hidden Arts Pavilion and didnt bother about the trifling matters in Cloud Heaven City. Ximen Lie was directly involved in the matter, hence he didnt have the right to vote. Since Ximen Ningning was just an honorary member of the Elder Committee, she didnt have the right to vote too. Five agreed, one disagreed, one abstained. The vote has passed. Yang Yan spoke indifferently, Ximen Lie, you better consider this again. If you want to obstruct Ximen Ju from investigating the suspected Evil Dao infiltrator, you will be banished from Cloud Heaven City. Haha... Ximen Lie laughed boldly and said, I didnt want to stay in a Cloud Heaven City like this anyways. Subsequently, Ximen Lie looked at Yang Dingtian and said, Yang Dingtian, whether I can return to Cloud Heaven City will depend on you. A year and a half year later, you must win the duel for the Cloud Heaven City Lord position. Because once an elder has been banished from Cloud Heaven City, only the City Lord has the authority to recall an exiled subject. Finishing his statement, Ximen Lie brandished his giant sword and pointed it towards Ximen Ju, he said, Lao Er, lets do it then! Ximen Lie, your opponent is me, Yang Yan suddenly sneered and spoke before he drifted down from the city wall. He raised the cane in his hand and said to Ximen Ju, Ximen Ju, do it fast and take out the possible Evil Dao traitor, Yang Dingtian. Leave Ximen Lie to me! Yes! Ximen Ju looked at Yang Dingtian and said, Yang Dingtian. Youre the one who courted death. Dont blame me for being merciless. I will let you have the first move. Ximen Ju, your opponent is me, Madam Ximen suddenly leaped from her seat and floated like a fairy towards Yang Dingtians side. Madam Ximen landed beside Yang Dingtian and drew her sharp sword towards Ximen Ju. Ximen Ju you ungrateful bastard. Do it! Madam Ximen, your opponent is me, Tang Bozhao laughed loudly and suddenly jumped off from the city walls. In this instant, Ximen Ju was facing Yang Dingtian again. It was obvious that they treated him as a threat, hence, they were determined to eliminate him now that he was still budding. Yang Dingtian didnt have any more experts by his side. Ximen Jus face immediately revealed a cruel smile. Ximen Ju, you have to face me too, Yanyans delicate body leaped up and landed beside Yang Dingtian. She drew her sword and spoke to Yang Dingtian in a gentle voice, Husband, we will fight together! Ximen Lie knew that even if Yang Dingtian and Ximen Yanyan worked together, they still wouldnt be a match for Ximen Ju. He might be the one who initiated the fight with Ximen Ju, but he knew that Ximen Ju was definitely stronger than him. Ximen Lie suddenly yelled out into the crowd, Ximen Nu, are you going to stand by the side and do nothing?! Ximen Nu was an expert that was second to Ximen Ju and Ximen Lie in Cloud Heaven City. He was similarly one of Ximen Wuyas outstanding adoptive son. Hearing Ximen Lies yell, Ximen Nu didnt have any response. Ximen Lie spoke with anger, Ximen Nu, we have been taken care of by fathers kindness. Are you really going to look on as these ungrateful bastards take advantage of fathers wife and daughter? Staying silent for a moment, Ximen Nu spoke slowly, Lao Da, I have already abstained from my vote! Good... good... very good. Father truly has raised a bunch of cruel and unscrupulous ingrates! Ximen Lie laughed from extreme anger, he yelled at Yang Yan, Despicable old bastard, come on then! Today, I will treat this old traitor a lesson on my fathers behalf. Today, we will all fight to the death! Yang Dingtian, be prepared! At this moment, Ximen Lie was up against Yang Yan. Madam Ximen was up against Tang Bozhao. Yang Dingtian and Ximen Yanyan were up against Ximen Ju! This great battle was on the verge of erupting! ... Ximen Lie let out a violent roar while the giant sword in his hand emitted blazing red light as he rushed at Yang Yan. Die traitor! Yang Yan yelled in a cold voice as he abruptly brandished the artifact cane in his hand. Boom! A lump of ferocious flame beast rushed out from the artifact cane and blasted towards Ximen Lie. Madam Ximen looked at Tang Bozhao and sneered. Despicable toad, even if I have to die today, I will make you lose half your life! Finishing her declaration, Madam Ximen brandished her sharp sword and thrust at Tang Bozhao like an elegant shooting star. A left out phoenix is not even worthy enough to be a chicken. I have waited for this day for many years, Tang Bozhao laughed grimly, while his eyes flashed with an insatiable heat when he looked at Madam Ximen. He twisted the sword in his hand and thrust at Madam Ximen mutually, aiming at her breasts. Yang Dingtian slowly aimed the Night Owl Giant Blade at Ximen Ju and let out a sarcastic smile. Overseer Ximen, you took each step carefully and advanced gradually to finally create this situation. You should be satisfied now. I am doing this for the centuries of foundations of the Cloud Heaven City. I have a clear conscience. Ximen Ju raised his hands and said, I will not use any weapons against both of you. This will be considered fair on behalf of father. Ximen Ju suddenly assaulted with his palm. Yang Dingtian rushed up and raised his blade to block, putting Ximen Yanyan behind him. He aimed at the energy from Ximen Ju and used all the mystic qi in his body to swing his sword out. Bang! A gentle and reserved power struck Yang Dingtians body like torrential water flow. Pfff... Yang Dingtian violently spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood while his body flew several meters. Husband! Ximen Yanyan grimly exclaimed. Bang! Yang Dingtian crashed hard on the solid surface of the ground, causing stone shards to scatter. He could feel the formidable and vicious energy which was ripping in him, it was instantly destroying the mystic meridians on his right arm. Qin Shaobai was already very powerful, but compared to Ximen Ju, there was a clear difference between heaven and earth. Ximen Ju was extremely powerful, so much that Yang Dingtian couldnt even tell which class he was at. Yang Dingtian, youre so weak that you cant even withstand a single blow. Ximen Ju said indifferently, Why not use your Evil Soul Art, you might have a chance at living. Remember, I will not be merciful at all and for the foundation of Cloud Heaven City, I will be very ruthless. Yanyan ran to Yang Dingtians side and helped him up while asking in a sobbing voice, How are you feeling? Im fine. Yang Dingtian struggled to stand with the support of Yanyan. He looked at Ximen Ju and asked, Why? Why are you doing this? What exactly do you want? Tell me the truth and spare me all the glorious bullshit. Ximen Ju thought for a moment and sneered. For the centuries of Cloud Heaven Citys foundation, I will do anything. It was still that glorious bullshit reply. Immediately after, Ximen Ju looked at Yang Dingtian and said, Stand up. You are a hero and you can die while standing. Yang Dingtian held onto the Night Owl Giant Blade and stood up straight again. He then laughed grimly at Ximen Ju. Come on, do it again! Subsequently, Yang Dingtian used his left hand to wield the sword and pointed it at Ximen Ju. No! Ximen Yanyan cried while standing in front of Yang Dingtian. She yelled at Ximen Ju, If you want to kill my husband, you have to kill me first! Yanyan... Back off. This is my fight, Yang Dingtian demanded. No! Yanyan said. Yang Dingtian abruptly pushed Yanyan away while he wielded the Night Owl Giant Blade and rushed at Ximen Ju. The Night Owl Giant Blade radiated with splendor as it was swung out. Ximen Ju gently struck out with his palm. A palm shadow appeared and directly pressed onto Yang Dingtians chest. Pfff... Yang Dingtians fresh blood violently spurted while he flew several meters out and crashed hard onto the ground. Ahh! Yanyan was wielding her artifact sword as she rushed at Ximen Ju and yelled with fury, Ximen Ju! You bastard, Ill risk it all with you! Looking at the rushing Yanyan, Ximen Jus eyes had this flash of series of complex expressions. He looked on as Yanyans artifact sword thrust towards his chest. His eyes turned cold, and so he suddenly flung his sleeve. Pfff... Yanyans delicate body was sent flying several meters like a kite while she vomited blood in the air. Yanyan! Madam Ximen was in a fight with Tang Bozhao, but half her attention was on Yang Dingtian and Yanyans side all this time. When she saw her birth daughter vomiting blood because of a palm strike from Ximen Ju, she instantly let out a miserable scream and was distracted, causing her moves to be slightly delayed. Tang Bozhao saw the opportunity and immediately snorted. Yang Peipei, the shame that you gave me 20 years ago shall be repaid back today. Finishing his statement, Tang Bozhao thrust his sword into Madam Ximens chest, he was about to lift it up. Madam! Ximen Lie yelled out and rushed over immediately. In order to rescue Madam Ximen, he completely ignored Grand Elder Yang Yan who was pursuing him. The giant sword stabbed at Tang Bozhao. Bang! Just as Tang Bozhaos sword lifted up from Madam Ximens chest, he was struck by Ximen Lies giant sword. Pfff! Madam Ximens chest which had been stabbed by Tang Bozhaos sword spurted blood violently, this caused her delicate body to fly out several meters. When Tang Bozhaos sharp sword had been struck by Ximen Lies giant sword, a gigantic force assaulted his body, causing him to take a few dozen steps back while violently spitting blood from his mouth. Just as Ximen Lie ignored his formidable opponent to rescue Madam Ximen, he had momentarily left his back open. Yang Yan saw the opportunity and revealed a sinister smile. He circulated all the mystic qi and blasted Ximen Lies back with a ferocious fire dragon. Ximen Lie couldnt dodge in time since he was rescuing Madam Ximen, this caused his back to be directly struck. S?a??h th? N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Boom! There was a loud sound, Ximen Lies sturdy body was blasted more than a few dozen meters away. His back was charred while he was vomiting blood violently. Yang Dingtians eyes were instantly wide opened. Due to the grief, he violently spurted a mouthful of blood again. At this moment, Ximen Ju walked over and raised his palm while aiming at Yang Dingtians head, he was about to abruptly cleave down with his hand. Kill... kill... kill... kill... Yang Dingtian bellowed as he gathered all his spirit into the Night Owl Giant Blade to sense the violent sword soul. Master. Im sorry. I have to violate your words and break my promise. Im sorry... Im sorry... The violent sword soul was like the vast ocean which would burst forth with torrential giant waves time and time again. Yang Dingtians spirit was like a leaf boat which would probably be crushed once he entered. Yang Dingtians leaf boat abruptly rushed into the violent sword souls vast ocean. Without Dongfang Niemie around, he forcefully tried to control this violent sword soul. Boom! There was an explosion in his mind which turned everything into a patch of white as though there was a nuclear explosion. In this instant, the Night Owl Giant Blade in Yang Dingtians hand burst out with an incomparably dazzling glow alongside with his body. The Night Owl Giant Blade seemed to have its own consciousness which had merged with Yang Dingtian, turning it into an extremely ferocious sword light which thrust at Ximen Ju. This happened while Ximen Jus palm had gathered an extremely powerful energy which was slamming downwards on Yang Dingtians head. Boom! A giant echo was produced when the two powerful forces clashed. No! No! No! Yanyan, Madam Ximen, and Ximen Lie concurrently let out a mournful scream. ... Everyone present was shocked and astonished, as though they saw a miracle. It really was a sword soul, a true sword soul. Yang Dingtian wasnt lying, he had really released a sword soul. It was an astounding strike that was dazzling to the eyes! Half a minute later, the light gradually faded. Everyone could finally see Yang Dingtian and Ximen Ju who were standing in the middle of the plaza. Both Ximen Jus legs were stuck in the ground as he took over a dozen steps back, he violently spurted a mouthful of fresh blood, he had this astonished look on his face. Yang Dingtians legs were also entirely stuck into the hard ground. His body was naked and drenched in blood. His eyes were shut and his giant sword was bursting with killing qi. There was silence in the entire plaza as everyone looked at Yang Dingtian like a war gods statue. But no one knew if the current Yang Dingtian was dead or alive. Yang Yan withdrew his shocked expression and roared out, All troops mobilize and kill all the traitors! In an instant, the entire plaza surged with countless warriors from the underground. They were all brandishing their weapons while heading towards the Black Blood Cavalry. This wasnt the army from the Cloud Heaven City, but rather, they were from the Northwest Qin Clans army. An army of several thousand surrounded the Black Blood Cavalry which numbered about a thousand, they decimated them! Since they were already in neck-deep, they couldnt stop now! Since they had already torn off the pretense, they might as well slaughter their enemies. All those who came to spectate swiftly backed off and observed from the side. All the members of Cloud Heaven City were at a complete loss and didnt know which side to help. Right now, Yang Dingtian and the Black Blood Cavalry were facing imminent danger. Suddenly in this perilous situation, the fainted Ximen Ningning suddenly opened her eyes. Her originally beautiful eyes instantly turned green. The originally kind and gentle Ximen Ningning instantly turned into an incomparably bewitching, mysterious, and terrifying woman! Her seductive and tempting body was vigorously revolved around with a green light. I cannot conceal anymore. But no matter how severe the consequences are, I will admit to them! All of you shall die. Anyone who dared to harm my beloved family shall all die! The green light revolved around Ximen Ningning as she flew up into the sky. Her palms targeted the surging Qin Clan and struck out abruptly. In an instant, a lump of giant green light burst forth and assaulted the Qin Clans army. In a split moment, dozens of people went silent, they had completely perished! You, all of you shall die! Swish Swish... Ningning burst out with terrifying green light as she shot at the Qin Clans army in a frenzy. The terrifying Deep Sea Mystic Poison instantly robbed hundreds of lives. But there were just too many soldiers from the Qin Clan that surged like a wave, instantly drowning out the one thousand Black Blood Cavalry. This army from the Qin Clan had blood-red eyes that released an abnormal light as though they werent afraid of death. Even though the brothers from the Black Blood Cavalry were fearless, they were still rapidly decreasing and were about to be wiped out soon. ... Right at this moment, Yang Dingtian, whose eyes were shut, suddenly opened, he revealed bloodthirsty eyes. It was completely different from a humans. His entire body was enveloped with demonic beast-like violent killing qi. He looked at the surging Qin Clans army. Endless killing qi and the brutal sword spirit engulfed his body. Limitless fresh blood burst out from his body while a violent and powerful sword spirit tried to rip out from within his body. Kill... Kill... Kill! The inhuman Yang Dingtian flew up to the sky while he violent slashed with the giant sword. The brutal sword spirit attacked at the surround Qin Clans army. Lumps of red light turned into savage beasts which were lunged towards the Qin Clans army. Bang! Bang! Bang! In an instant, the clustered Qin Clans army were turned into dust as their bodies were pulverized. Yang Dingtian who was bound by the brutal sword spirit was just like a killer god that defied against heaven, reaping the lives of the Qin Clans army in a frenzy. Yang Yans side had a drastic change in complexion as they couldnt believe what they were seeing. He looked on at the killer god-like Yang Dingtian, he had this trembling fear in the depths of his heart! The current Yang Dingtian was slaughtering the Qin Clans army in a frenzy. A single blade of his would reap dozens to a hundred lives! But since fresh blood was constantly spraying violently out from his body, and his body swelling and blood-red in color. It seemed as though he was going to explode, burst in pieces, or even vanish into a puff of smoke at any moment. Yang Dingtian was currently managing the brutal sword spirit and killing the strong with his weak body. Any other more moments might result in his soul scattering, resulting in his complete annihilation. Mother! Quickly knock out Xiao Tian! Quickly! Ximen Ningning exclaimed. Madam Ximen ignored Yang Yan and the others who were trying to kill her and rushed behind Yang Dingtian, knocking him out by striking on the back of his head. Yang Dingtian, who nearly exploded was immediately knocked out, this prevented his bone-shattering ending. Right now, his entire bodys skin was splitting apart by the inches, he was riddled with wounds which were an appalling sight. Kill Yang Dingtian! Yang Yan roared with fury. Yang Yan, Ximen Ju, Tang Bozhao, and the others surrounded them in a frenzy as they tried to penetrate Madam Ximen and the others defenses to completely eliminate Yang Dingtian. Bang! Suddenly, Yang Yans giant palm managed to strike Madam Ximens back. Pfff... Madam Ximen spat out a mouthful of warm blood from her small mouth. Concurrently, Yang Yan, Ximen Ju, and the others instantly surrounded the small group in order to kill Yang Dingtian. Ximen Jus speed was the fastest as he was the one who instantly rushed in front of Yang Dingtian. Dont you even try to harm my Xiao Tian! At this moment, the wide-eyed Ximen Ningnings body suddenly burst forth with a green light which expanded like a bomb. The mystic qi that had Deep Sea Mystic Poison burst out in a giant halo that protected Yang Dingtian, Madam Ximen, and the others inside. When Yang Yan and the others saw the attack, they frantically retreated like snakes and scorpions. Yanyan! Mother! Retreat back to Black Blood Castle! We will wait until next years winters Grand Martial Duel. Xiao Tian will kill his way back in Cloud Heaven City and eradicate all these traitors! ************* The sun and moon rotated while the stars shifted. It was unknown how much time had passed, however, it felt as though it were countless years and days. Yang Dingtian felt as though he was in purgatory at every moment. It felt as though his entire body was being boiled in the volcanos magma, it was as if every inch of his body was splitting apart and getting dissolved before being bonded back together. It was as though a scattered spirit soul or a dispersed universe that was slowly re-condensed and condensed! The shattered body and mystic meridians were beginning to link back together bit by bit. Finally, when the spirit soul dust gathered into a perfectly bright spirit soul, a completely assembled Yang Dingtian was reformed. Ahh! Letting out a shout, Yang Dingtian struggled as though he was trying to break free from the shackles of purgatory. It was as though he was trying to break away from the evil claws of the grim reaper. Yang Dingtian opened his eyes and abruptly sat up. He realized he was stark naked and within a huge pot that had a burning fire that boiled the thick fluid within the pot. One of the fluids was blue while the other half was red. The blue portion felt like it had a bone-piercing chill that could penetrate blazing inferno to seep into his bone marrow. While the red portion was scalding oil, that was trying to smelt a body on his bones. Everything in the dream realm was actually real and he was really being boiled in a pot. Within this pot were really half chilling ice and half blazing flames. Yang Dingtian looked around and noticed that he was in a cave. But it wasnt the eerie and sinister type of cave in the Temple of Blood. Every part of the cave had translucent and limpid jade rocks, which looked mysterious and beautiful. What exactly is this place? How much time has passed? I was releasing the sword soul in the plaza of the Cloud Heaven City... What happened later on? Where is Yanyan? Where is Madam Ximen? What about Ningning? What about Big Brother Ximen Lie? Countless questions continued to rush in his head while Yang Dingtian yelled out, Someone! Is there somebody... A snow-white figure walked in and it was a beautiful lass. Once she saw that Yang Dingtian had awakened, she immediately walked out again. Wait... wait... Yang Dingtian asked, Please, what is this place? Where is my wife? Chapter 132: Sea of Hades! Time of Affection! Going North! Chapter 132: Sea of Hades! Time of Affection! Going North!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Wait, wait... Yang Dingtian asked, Please, what is this place? Where is my wife? The beautiful young lass turned around and looked at Yang Dingtian. She waved her hand and pointed at her mouth, indicating that she couldnt speak. You cant speak? Yang Dingtian asked. The young lass nodded and opened her petite mouth. It was a pretty little mouth that had jade white teeth, but she didnt have any tongue, it looked as if it was cut off forcefully. The hair on Yang Dingtians back all raised up. How cruel was it to actually cut off the tongue of such a beautiful young lass? The young lass smiled at Yang Dingtian and gestured at him to wait for a moment before she finally walked out. Yang Dingtian had even more doubts in his heart now as he wondered what exactly this place was. It was obvious that when he released the sword soul before he passed out, the violent sword soul was in a frenzied backlash which instantly caused his mystic meridians to be ruptured inch by inch, causing his spirit soul to nearly disintegrate. But this place was actually able to treat him and it was done using such a bizarre method. However, this place was such a cruel place that actually cut off the tongue of such a beautiful young lass, this was probably done so to maintain the secrecy. ************ Yang Dingtian climbed out from the pot and realized that his entire body was surging with energy. Fortunately, his mystic qi didnt suffer any form of decline. On the table was his clothes and his Night Owl Giant Blade. After wearing his clothes, Yang Dingtian looked at the Night Owl Giant Blade with a complicated expression, he ultimately chose not to touch it. After about half an hour, a slender and confident looking figure walked into the stone room. It was a familiar and extremely handsome man, Song Yu! Yang Dingtian now knew what this place was. This was the Sea of Hades, the legendary, mysterious, and omnipotent Sea of Hades. This is truly unbelievable. You actually fully recovered. Song Yu looked at Yang Dingtian with disbelief and continued, When you were sent here, your meridians and veins were all ruined and you were hanging on to your final string of life. I cant imagine how you were able to fully recover in just three months. Three months? I was unconscious for three months? Yang Dingtian asked, Who sent me here? What about Yanyan? Song Yu frowned and replied with an annoyed tone, From now on, Ill talk and you will listen. Do not ask any more questions, I wont answer them either. Yang Dingtian calmed his emotions and nodded. Ximen Yanyan sent you here. Shes the only one who knows the way to the Sea of Hades. I dont know what she went through, but when she carried you here, she was already covered in wounds and extremely frail. She knelt on the beach of the Sea of Hades for seven days and nights, trying to use Ximen Wuyas favor in exchange to save your life. Song Yu said, I mentioned that our Sea of Hades once owed Ximen Wuya a huge favor. We obtained a Naga Races mystic meridian crystal and wanted to use it to treat Ximen Yanyans ruined mystic meridians to return what we owed... When he got to this part, Song Yu took a deep breath and said, However, Ximen Yanyan gave up her only chance at regaining her strength and gave that opportunity to you. Of course, our Sea of Hades favors isnt simply some childs play. It cant be shifted to anyone as you please, Hence, even if she died from kneeling, it wouldve been useless. You and Ximen Yanyan were supposed to have perished on the beach. However, there was a change in circumstances. My Martial Aunt, Ji Wuyan, had taken an interest in her Meridians of Splendid Flames, she was also coincidentally lacking a sword attendant. Hence, Martial Aunt Ji Wuyan offered a condition. If Ximen Yanyan was willing to become her sword attendant, then the Sea of Hades would save you, Yang Dingtian. As a result of this, Ximen Yanyan agreed. From a regular perspective, a sword attendants role would be to hold the sword every single day while acting as an aide and also as a disciple. Ning Ruohan was the daughter of one of the influential officials of the Yin Yang Sect, hence, she was offered the role as a sword attendant for Dongfang Bingling. Ji Wuyan from the Sea of Hades had a status that was comparable to Ximen Wuya, for Yanyan to be her sword attendant, it wouldnt be considered an insult, however, Yang Dingtian still felt heartache. Would Yanyans mystic meridians be treated if she became a sword attendant for Senior Ji Wuyan? Yang Dingtian asked. Song Yu shook his head and replied, The only Naga Races mystic meridian crystal that they have has been used on you. In order to treat Ximen Yanyan, there must be another Naga Races mystic meridian crystal. But, do you think thats possible? Then... When will Ximen Yanyan be able to leave? Yang Dingtian suppressed his erratic breath and asked. Of course she will never be able to. Song Yu said, She already exchanged her life for yours. How can she leave? Yang Dingtian inquired, If... If I am able to find another Naga Races mystic meridian crystal, or something even more precious... Would Yanyan be able to leave then? Of course. Song Yu replied, However, do remember that our Sea of Hades spent a few decades before managing to obtain a single Naga Races mystic meridian crystal. Do you think its still possible? No matter how hard it was, he must be able to do it! Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and calmed the surging blood and qi within him. He spoke calmly, I want to see Yanyan. Are you sure you want to see her? Song Yu looked at Yang Dingtian and said, Martial Aunt Ji Wuyans island prohibits any male individuals. If a man takes even half a step on the island, they would perish without a burial ground. Please! Do this favor for me, thank you! Yang Dingtian bowed and spoke with respect. Song Yu looked at Yang Dingtian and let out a light sigh. It must be challenging for someone who has unyielding bones like you to bow. I will arrange a boat for you. I wont bother about your life and death when you arrive at Martial Aunt Ji Wuyans place. After finishing his statement, Song Yu walked out. ... A few minutes later, someone came to inform Yang Dingtian that the boat was ready. When Yang Dingtian walked out of the stone cave, it was only at this moment that he had the opportunity to look at the scenery of the Sea of Hades. This was the Sea of Hades? It didnt look like any scenery from the human world as it was extremely beautiful and mysterious. The entire sky was neon blue that would occasionally emit a cold and mild glow, the twin suns were nowhere to be seen. It was bright from every angle, but none of the areas had any dazzling shine. After walking out of the cave, Yang Dingtian came upon a beach. The sand on the beach was like shattered silver which was glittering while releasing an enchanting fluorescence. The boat was ready, however, Yang Dingtian had to row by himself as no one dared to visit Ji Wuyans Saltless Island. When Yang Dingtian boarded the boat, he noticed it was an intricate wooden boat that was sculpted from a single block of wood and was wonderfully elaborate. While he gently rowed the boat, the seawater looked like smashed up jade that was so pure and transparent, it almost seemed like the water that was reflecting with light looked like glistening scales. This was such beautiful scenery and was like an illusionary dream. It didnt feel real at all and it looked like the scene from the movie Life of Pi where it took place in a mystical sea. Yang Dingtian constantly rowed forward and passed by a few islands, some of which looked like jadeite. There were some islands that had red-purple coral reef, while some islands were filled with green trees without any sand. In short, all the islands couldnt be described with anything but beautiful. ... Half an hour later, Saltless Island was soon in sight from a distance. Saltless Island was actually hideous and dull gray. It was made up of weird stone formations that were ash-black in color, and every piece of stone sinisterly strange. It was a far cry from all those islands which he had rowed past. Before he even approached the shore, Yang Dingtian yelled out, Senior Ji Wuyan, Yang Dingtian is here to pay his respects. Ahh! There was an exclamation of pleasant surprise that instantly came from Saltless Island. It was a familiar voice, it belonged to Yanyan. Get lost. Any man who steps on my Saltless Island will be immediately chopped up into pieces, A hoarse voice echoed, it sounded as awful as a witchs voice. Grandma... The island echoed with Ximen Yanyans pleading voice. Ximen Yanyan, remember your status. Dont think that just because I have been pleasant for these past two days that you can behave inappropriately. Did you forget once your wounds of punishments healed up? Ji Wuyan spoke in a cold voice despite the fact that she was a woman, her voice was even more awful than a mans. Grandma... Grandma... Grandma... Ximen Yanyan acted like a spoiled child and continued to plead. Yang Dingtian seemed like he could even feel how Yanyans delicate body was twisted like pulled candy. Finally, Ji Wuyan was unable to withstand the Yanyans spoiled behavior and spoke in a cold voice, I will give you 15 minutes. Once you exceed it, I will immediately beat that man to death, and then I will break both of your wretched legs. Thank you, Grandma... Immediately after, Yang Dingtian saw Ximen Yanyan rushing out from the black little hut like a small deer. In this instant, the dull gray island suddenly lit up. Because of Yanyans existence, the ugly and hideous island became cute. Dear! When Yanyan was still several meters away, she extended her arms like a young bird as she rushed into Yang Dingtians embrace. Yang Dingtian extended his arms too while Yanyans well developed and tender body crashed into his bosom. The two of them didnt talk as their scalding lips kissed together ferociously. Finally, they reluctantly broke away after the both of them couldnt breath anymore and were feeling dizzy from the lack of oxygen. Yang Dingtian cupped Yanyans face which was still peerlessly exquisite and splendidly charming. However, she was thinner and her chin was sharper. Her original baby fats had turned into an enchanting oval face. He then hugged her small waist. Yanyan, you have lost weight. My Yanyan has lost weight... My darling has lost weight... Yang Dingtian spoke in a gentle voice. Dear, I have grown up. Yanyan spoke in her delicate voice, But that place shouldnt have slimmed down, its still the same. Yang Dingtian gently rubbed her face. His heart which was originally filled with emotions, evil thoughts, and extreme anger, was now gradually turning serene when he hugged this beautifully delicate body, it was as though a clear spring water poured into his heart. While Yang Dingtian was enjoying this sweet silence, he didnt even wish to speak. Yanyan, what happened to your mother? Sister Ningning? Big Brother Ximen Lie? Yang Dingtian asked, What happened after I invoked the sword soul? In an instant, Yanyans delight face dimmed as she elaborated on what happened in detail. ********************** I didnt expect that it was Yang Shishi who actually halted the Qin Clans army from pursuing us. Yanyan described everything that happened after Yang Dingtian had passed out. When she mentioned about Ximen Ningning slaughtering thousands of enemies, her gorgeous face revealed an unbelievable glow. Just like that, Sister Ningning obstructed all the experts from Yang Yans side and the thousands of traitors. We then led a few hundred of the Black Blood Cavalry to successfully protect you and retreat from Cloud Heaven City. When thinking about Ximen Ningning, Yang Dingtian instantly felt a moment of suffocation as he asked, Wha... what happened to Sister Ningning afterward? I... I dont know! Yanyan said, When I saw her for the final time, she was flying in mid-air and poisoning about a hundred enemies. Her body was emitting a green light that would kill anyone with poison upon contact. No one dared to approach anywhere near a few hundred feet from her. I never would have expected the kind and gentle Sister Ningning, the Sister Ningning who wouldnt even want to step on an ant... was actually so astounding... Yang Dingtian instantly felt a strong twitch in his heart as his mind floated with Ximen Ningnings gentle face which had this slight craftiness. What about your mother and Big Brother Ximen Lie? Yang Dingtian asked. Ximen Yanyan said, When we desperately hurried to Black Blood Castle, there were a few thousand soldiers who were trying to invade. The trial by duel was just a conspiracy plotted by Ximen Ju and Yang Yans group. They wanted to kill all of us on that day. Did Black Blood Castle fall? Yang Dingtian asked. Yanyan replied, No, there were more than a thousand Black Blood Cavalry and more than two thousand enlistees in the castle, they were locked in an intense battle with the Qin Clans army. When Big Brother Ximen Lie led the Black Blood Cavalry back to Black Blood Castle, the troops in the castle had a huge morale boost. With a front and back pincer attack, they defeated Northwest Qin Clans cavalry unit. Subsequently, Yanyan said, Dear, theres something that I recalled that was odd. What is it? Yang Dingtian asked. Yanyan said, When Tang Xins body was suddenly paralyzed and fell towards my sword, her eyes were in pain, it felt as though she was trying to scream out something. Back then, I couldnt make anything out of it, but now that I think about it, it might have been the word, Ju. Furthermore, after she fell, her hand was desperately trying to write a word on the ground. But due to her paralysis, she wrote it in a distorted manner and didnt even manage to finish the word. Now that Im recalling about it, it might have been half of the Ju word. Ximen Ju?! Yang Dingtian asked, Yanyan, why would you think it like that? Yanyan said, Thats because when we left Cloud Heaven City, Yang Shishi secretly handed us a letter which said that we had to beware of Ximen Ju. It stated that Tang Xin discovered Yang Shishi and Qin Shaobais hideous act because someone arranged to meet her at a remote valley. Yang Dingtians heart suddenly jumped! It seemed right. From the looks of it, it might have been Ximen Ju! Qin Shaobai, this venomous snake might have plotted the conspiracy and framed Yanyan, but behind him was actually Ximen Ju! From this, it could be speculated that Ximen Ju already knew of Qin Shaobai and Yang Shishis incestual act, but he didnt call it out. He even invited Tang Xin to where Qin Shaobai and Yang Shishi would be when they secretly conducted their affairs, this allowed Tang Xin to discover it all. Afterward, Qin Shaobai violated Tang Xian and immediately thought of a plan to kill three birds with one stone. After killing Tang Xin, he framed Yanyan and took the opportunity to eliminate Yang Dingtian. It was a ruthless plan and Qin Shaobai was pleased with himself, but he didnt expect to actually fall in Ximen Jus trap. With all the evidence in Ximen Jus hand, like the hideous acts with Yang Shishi and the murder of Tang Xin. It would enable Ximen Ju to destroy Qin Shaobai in the future whenever he wanted to. He was going to use Qin Shaobai to kill Yang Dingtian and then use the issues with morality to ruin Qin Shaobai. In this way, no one would be able to compete for the position of the Cloud Heaven City Lord against him. Yang Dingtian gasped a breath of cold air! Qin Shaobai already had a character of a venomous snake, but compared to Ximen Ju, he was obviously still tender. Ximen Jus schemes and malevolence were something that Yang Dingtian had never heard or seen before. Yang Dingtian took in a deep breath and said, He is indeed the most outstanding adoptive son of your father. He is truly incredible. And this person was going to be the greatest enemy in Yang Dingtians strive for the Cloud Heaven City Lords position! In terms of cultivation, Ximen Ju should be close to the Martial Supreme class, and in terms of schemes, he was unfathomable. Such an enemy was one that would cause people to tremble. So what if his schemes are deep? Only ones own strength and sword can decide everything in a true duel. Yang Dingtian said, In the face of absolute strength, all schemes are just scraps! The Grand Martial Duel for the city lords position was about a year away. Within this one year, Yang Dingtian had to grow stronger and stronger and stronger! He had to breakthrough from Mystic Martial Warrior to Mystic Martial Master and then to Martial Mystic, and above that, to Martial Ancestor and even higher. Only by breaking through to the Mystic Ancestor class would Yang Dingtian have the possibility of obtaining the position of the city lord in the Grand Martial Duel. He would then be able to bring Yanyan, Madam Ximen, and Big Brother Ximen Lie back to Cloud Heaven City. Seeing the bursting veins on Yang Dingtians head, Yanyan gently stroked his face and spoke in a tender voice, Dear, our Cloud Heaven City has been occupied, but I will not cry because I still have you. As long as youre still around, Yanyans home will never be gone. Moreover, I believe that you will help Yanyan take back Cloud Heaven City one day. Hmm... At this moment, Ji Wuyan let out a hum as the 15 minutes were up. Dear, I truly regret why I didnt love you better in the past. When I finally realized how much I love you, there isnt any more time left, Yanyan spoke in a sad voice. Dont worry, we have lots of time in the future, Yang Dingtian spoke in a soft voice, Before the Grand Martial Duel, I will come back to the Sea of Hades. By then, no matter what method I have to use, I will bring you out of here and we will go back to take Cloud Heaven City, to take back our home, to take back your little residence. En. I believe you. Ill always believe you, Yanyan desperately nodded. She then looked up with her beautiful eyes and said, Dear, its a pity that we do not have much time. I mentioned before that I will completely give you my entire self. We might be husband and wife, but we have yet to do it properly. Yang Dingtian smiled and said, Then, well make a promise. After I kill Ximen Ju, take back Cloud Heaven City, and take back our home, well never be apart, okay? Okay. Yanyan spoke in a pampered voice, When that time comes, Ill let you know that Im the best wife. Even better than Sister Ningning. Yang Dingtian felt warmth in his eyes as he spoke gently, Youre already the best little wife. You always will be. Right now, Ji Wuyans angry voice echoed out, Still not leaving? Do you really want me to break your legs? Senior, Im going now, Yang Dingtian responded. Dear, I love you. Kiss me again until I run out of breath, Yanyan lifted her head and said. The two of them kissed forcefully again as though it was the end of the world, separating only when their breaths were completely exhausted. Darling, go back first. Remember, I will be back in one year, Yang Dingtian gently loosened his grip on Yanyan. En. Yanyan nodded as if her life depended on it. Yang Dingtian carried Yanyan and gently threw her, allowing her to land on the shore softly. He then began to row his boat backward. Yanyans beautiful eyes which were locked on Yang Dingtian were blossoming with tender sentiments as tears gushed out. Dear, remember to go the southwest continents Mu Clan Docks. I hid the second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art there, Yanyan suddenly recalled something important and yelled at Yang Dingtian, she didnt spare any consideration to Ji Wuyan. Okay, once I leave the Sea of Hades, Ill go there immediately, Yang Dingtian replied. There were plenty of things that he had yet to be informed of, but there wasnt enough time as Ji Wuyan was getting infuriated. Why did Yanyan bring Yang Dingtian to the Sea of Hades by herself? How did she split up with Ximen Lie and the others? Why was the second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art in the hands of Yanyan? There wasnt enough time to explain everything. Dear, when I was in the middle bringing you to the Sea of Hades, I was on the brink of a crisis. An individual in a clown mask and black cloak rescued me. He handed the second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art to me, he also escorted me to the Sea of Hades. Hes very powerful and mysterious, however, I dont know who he is, Yanyan said. Pa... Before Yanyan could finish talking, Yang Dingtian instantly suffered a slap through the air and felt a tingling pain on his face. Yang Dingtian bowed and said, Senior, please take care of my wife! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa... Yang Dingtian suffered a few more blows and nearly fell down due to the intense pain. I will leave everything to you senior! Yang Dingtian yelled out and turned to row the boat away from the island. Dear, I will wait for you to come back and fetch me, Yanyans voice echoed loudly. In an instant, Yang Dingtians tears involuntarily fell as he muttered to himself in a gentle voice, Yanyan, I will definitely come back in a year. Perhaps, before Yang Dingtian was powerful enough to protect her, the Sea of Hades was actually the safest place for her to be in. ************************* A few hours later when Yang Dingtian opened his eyes again, he was already floating on the surface of the sea and was under the rays of the twin suns. He had already left the Sea of Hades. The worlds most mysterious place was actually under the surface of the sea. It felt like an independent space that was hidden under the surface of the water. The islands, the skies, and the silver beach which he saw were all under the surface of this patch of sea, however, no one knew how to enter. Yang Dingtian rowed from this location and finally arrived at a beach. This beach was the regular beach, where Yanyan knelt for seven days and nights. Yanyan, wait for me to bring you back home... Yang Dingtian took a final glance at this mysterious place and turned around to sprint rapidly to the north. After running for a few hundred miles, there was another vast sea, the other side of this sea was the southwest continent. The Mu Clan Docks was in the extreme south of the southwest continent. The second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art was hidden by Yanyan there. In addition, the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl that Yang Dingtian required was also in the southwest continent. Furthermore, there was only a month left before the peak grade Earth-Fire would blossom. If he wanted to enter the Fire Cloud Devil Cave, he would need the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. The time left for Yang Dingtian to look for the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl was extremely pressing. ************ The southwest continent and the northwest continent were separated by a sea which was more than 5,000 miles. It was likely that the northwest and southwest continents were actually a united continent in the past, but was now somehow separated. Previously, Yanyan first brought Yang Dingtian across thousands of miles to reach the southern side of the northwest continent to enter the sea. After sailing for 5,000 miles, she then crossed 8,000 miles of the southwest continent and then traveled a few thousand miles more before reaching the Sea of Hades. s?a??h th? N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Hence, Yang Dingtian had actually only stayed in the Sea of Hades for about two months this was because Yanyan was constantly on the move with him for almost a month. She had suffered untold hardships and challenging torment. Yang Dingtian couldnt imagine how much suffering Yanyan encountered during her travels. Once Yang Dingtian imagined how Yanyan was kneeling on the beach while riddled with wounds, his heart felt as though it was shattered with intense pain. Everything had happened because he wasnt competent enough. There was still a year before the Grand Martial Duel for the Cloud Heaven City Lords position. It would be the only and final chance for him to take back Cloud Heaven City honorably. There was only a year left and he had to strengthen himself quickly. He wouldnt denounce Ximen Jus despicable behavior nor would he berate him as an ingrate. This was because all these were meaningless! The best response to someone despicable would be to behead him! Ximen Ju, Yang Yan! All of you wait for me at Cloud Heaven City! ********** Yang Dingtian rowed his small boat alone and pressed on to the north through day and night. Throughout this 5,000 miles of sea region, Yang Dingtian relied on this small boat and rowed with frenzy without any concept of day or night. Whenever he was hungry, he could catch some fish and eat it raw. Of course, this sea region was arranged with fatal traps by the Sea of Hades. If the Sea of Hades didnt give him a map, any boat that passed by this place wouldnt be able to escape a miserable fate. Half a month later, Yang Dingtian finally set foot on the southwest continent. The current Yang Dingtian had grown a beard and his entire face had been tanned and roughed up by the sun and sea breeze. This caused his entire image to completely change. He looked haggard and it felt as though he had grown older by ten years. There wasnt a need to put on any disguise as no one would recognize the current Yang Dingtian. The southwest continent was blazing hot and humid. The entire continent was filled with deep mountain ranges and lush forests. It was crawling with demonic beasts, plagues, and the poisonous wilderness. The Primal Chaos World named this place as the Savage Lands. It was nearly ten thousand miles of land, but the population wasnt even more than ten million, it wasnt even a tenth of the northwest continent. Ever since two centuries ago, when Li Tianxiao used the plague to kill hundreds of thousands of the southwest alliance army. The prestigious factions had all treated this place as unclean lands. Hence, this piece of land had gradually been slipping into the hands of evil. The Mu Clan Docks was located at the southern extremity of the southwest continent which was around 100 miles away from the coastline. Back at the Sea of Hades, because of the pressing time, Yang Dingtian didnt have time to ask about the situation of the Mu Clan Docks. He didnt know why Yanyan trusted this Mu Clan Docks so much that she actually placed a unique treasure like the Pig Slaying Sword Art at this place. As he inquired along the way, Yang Dingtian finally got to know that within the radius of a few hundred miles, the Mu Clan was considered a large faction and mainly lived off of the pearls that they harvested from the sea. Uncle, can I know the way to Mu Clan Docks? At one of the tea stalls, Yang Dingtian had bought a huge bowl of tea when asked the tea stalls uncle. Walk straight. Do you see this path? It leads to the Mu Clan Docks. This path is paved out by the Mu Clan. The tea stall uncle looked at Yang Dingtian and asked, Young man, are you going to participate in the martial contest for marriage? Martial contest for marriage? Whats going on? Yang Dingtian asked. Oh, you arent here to participate in the martial contest for marriage? Thats strange, people seldom visit our rundown place. What are you here for then, young man? The tea stall uncle continued to ask. Im here to buy pearls. I heard that the Mu Clan Docks was the largest clan around here that would harvest pearls, Yang Dingtian said, Im doing some small business and the price for buying from a middle man is just too expensive. Thats why I came here to buy the goods directly. The tea stall uncle replied, I see. If it was in the past, you would surely have been able to buy them for a cheap price as the Mu Clan were generous people. Even though they are influential, they never bullied peasants like us. The lands several miles within this place are all considered their territories, but the Mu Clan always collects very little tax. They would even send rations and meat to us every day. Theyre a family thats almost like Bodhisattva. A pity that a good man never lives long. Sigh... Yang Dingtian asked, What exactly happened? Could uncle please tell me? The tea stall uncle sighed and said, Its all because of Young Lady Mu Lianyis overly beautiful looks that invited the disaster. It was unknown how rumors of Young Lady Lianyis beauty had traveled all the way to the ears of the Raging Flames Castles Young Lord, who is more than a few hundred miles from here. He then immediately proposed for marriage to the Mu Clans Docks and even wanted them to reply in ten days. However, this Young Lord from the Raging Flames Castle is famed for his evil reputation, brutal actions, and licentious character. If Young Lady Lianyi were to marry him, she would undoubtedly be pushed into living hell. Did anyone go for the martial contest? Yang Dingtian asked. There are. Despite the influence of the Raging Flames Castle, there are plenty of people who admires Young Lady Lianyi and are all here to participate in the martial contest for marriage. But the Raging Flames Castle wants to prevent all these people, hence, they blocked all the checkpoints of the roads. As long as a youth came to participate in the martial contest for marriage, they would break all his legs. The tea stall uncle continued, This was the reason why I asked if you were here to participate in the martial contest right from the start. If you were, and your martial prowess isnt competent enough, then I would have advised you not to go. Furthermore, I can see that you dont look competent at all. Uncle doesnt have to worry about anything. Im not here to participate in the martial contest. Im just here to buy pearls. Thank you for telling me some information. I shall take my leave, Yang Dingtian put down a piece of silver coin. I dont have enough to give you change for such a big valued coin, The tea stall uncle said. Keep it, Yang Dingtian spoke and left after he got up. Young man, dont go there! They dont care if youre participating in the martial contest or not! They will beat up whoever goes there! The tea stall uncle quickly came chasing after. Dont worry, I know what to do, Yang Dingtian responded. He mounted the horse that immediately galloped on the pavement. *************** Halt! Dismount! As expected, in less than ten miles, Yang Dingtian met with an obstruction. More than ten individuals blocked the road and pointed their weapons at Yang Dingtian, one of them yelling in a severe tone, Go back where you came from. Our castles Young Lord is going to marry Young Lady Mu. Get lost immediately or well break your limbs. Im not here to participate in the martial contest for marriage. Im just here to buy some pearls. Yang Dingtian took out a bag of silver coins and said, Please do me a favor and allow me to pass. Toss the money over, The leader spoke. Yang Dingtian tossed the bag of money over. A strong man received the bag and opened it to take a look. He instantly beamed with joy. There were a few dozen silver coins, it seemed that they had struck a small windfall. After keeping the bag of coins, the strong man immediately turned hostile and said, You better get lost and go back to where you came from. Otherwise, well break your limbs and even your fifth limb. Lets see if you still want sex or your life! (TL note: fifth limb refers to the males penis) Yang Dingtian took a lance from the horse. This lance wasnt the same as the ancient lance on Earth. It was made of durable and flexible metal, every one of it was worth more than a hundred gold coins. Yang Dingtian used this weapon because he didnt want anyone to identify him. After seeing this lance, that strong mans eyes instantly revealed a greedy look as he yelled out, Its a cash cow! Brothers, do it! More than ten individuals rushed at the same time, brandishing their weapons at Yang Dingtian. Bang! Yang Dingtian swept across with his lance. The first three individuals were all sent flying and violently vomited with fresh blood. Swish... Swish... Swish... There were a few chilling light beams that suddenly shot at Yang Dingtians chest from the bushes. Yang Dingtian puffed up his chest to welcome these hidden weapons which were coated with poison. Hehehe! This move is still useful, The leader sneered. But he was immediately shocked afterward, this was because when those hidden weapons struck Yang Dingtians chest, it didnt penetrate his flesh but instead, bounced off immediately. The strong man was surprised as this was the mystic qi protection which made the skin impenetrable. Seeing the bad twist in circumstances, the strong man quickly ordered his subordinates to continue attacking while he turned around to escape. Huuu... Yang Dingtian threw the lance in his hand out ruthlessly, the lance struck on the back of the strong man, sending him flying several meters. The strong man vomited blood and collapsed while the lance turned back and flew back into Yang Dingtians hand. Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa... After taking back the lance, Yang Dingtian used a single blow for each of the remaining bandits and broke everyones legs. It was complete chaos as all the bandits were tumbling on the ground and wailing. You broke others legs, hence I broke your legs. Dont do evil deeds in the future and go back to your farm work. Yang Dingtian spoke coldly, Otherwise, you will die in another persons hand. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian lifted his lance and rushed straight ahead. ************************* The Mu Clan Docks was constructed on the side of a lake. Half of it was on the ground while the other was on the water. Most of the building was built with wood with few bricks here and there. It was a few hectares wide which seemed to fit their influential power. Two servants went up and yelled out before Yang Dingtian could even reach the gates with his horse, Is the guest here to participate in the martial contest for marriage? Welcome, welcome... Afterwards, one of them pulled Yang Dingtians horse, while the other one politely guided Yang Dingtian into the docks. What is this heros name? The servant asked while leading the way. Yan Nantian, Yang Dingtian replied. This was a fake name that he randomly came up with. Back at Earth, he felt that this name sounded very heroic. Great name. The servant raised his thumb and said, I wonder if Hero Yan met any troubles along the way? I encountered a dozen obstructing bandits. But I dispatched them, Yang Dingtian replied. The servant was instantly delighted as he spoke, Hero Yan is surely brilliant. During these nine days, youre the fourth to actually make it pass. Please come this way to the guest hall. My Clan Head and the three other heroes are all there. Yang Dingtian recalled that these three individuals must really be here for the martial contest for marriage and wanted to marry Mu Lianyi. This brother, please wait a moment. I would like to meet with your Docks owner alone as I have something important to convey, Yang Dingtian requested. That servant paused for a moment and said, Then, would Hero Yan wait a moment, please? ... Soon enough, Yang Dingtian met with the Mu Clan Docks owner, Mu Liancheng. He had an average build and looked like a graceful middle-aged man. He didnt know any martial arts and looked like a scholar instead. He couldnt walk properly as if he had once broken his left leg. But Yang Dingtian slid his eyes away from the other partys crippled area. I am the Mu Clan Head. Its nice to meet Hero Yan, Mu Liancheng walked in and bowed to Yang Dingtian with cupped hands. Yang Dingtian looked at the mans graceful and gentle face. He couldnt understand why Yanyan would trust the man so much that she actually left the second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art with him. Yang Dingtian returned the gesture with respect. Greetings to Mu Clan Head. Im here to retrieve an item. Mu Lianchengs expression changed slightly. His eyes shot at Yang Dingtian with lightning speed, he asked, What kind of item? A scroll, Yang Dingtian answered. What kind of scroll? Mu Liancheng asked. A scroll of a manual. A woman left it here, Yang Dingtian responded. Chapter 133: Paying Respect to Young Lord! Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl! Chapter 133: Paying Respect to Young Lord! Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales A scroll of a manual. A woman left it here, Yang Dingtian responded. Mu Lianchengs expression instantly changed. He immediately turned to close all the windows and doors, he stopped for a moment to listen if there were anyone around. He then walked in front of Yang Dingtian and knelt down. Cloud Heaven Citys Mu Shun pays his respects to Young Lord! Yang Dingtian was alarmed as he quickly went forward to help Mu Liancheng up, he quickly said, No, no, no. Please stand up. Why is Owner Mu behaving so respectfully? Mu Liancheng insisted on kneeling and wouldnt get up. Young Lord might not know this, but I was originally City Lord Ximens personal servant. But I committed a grave sin and was sent to this place to serve a penal sentence. Would Young Lord please listen to what I am going to say? Subsequently, Mu Liancheng spoke about past events with detail. Mu Lianchengs original name was Mu Shun and he was Ximen Wuyas sword servant. He was the closest and most trusted individual to Ximen Wuya. He had been following Ximen Wuya since he was just over ten years old. They might have a master and servant relationship on the surface, but Ximen Wuya treated him like an elder brother. (Sword servants have a lower status than sword attendants. However, with Ximen Wuyas status when he was still younger, he wasnt qualified to have a sword attendant) More than ten years ago, Mu Shun fell in love with a woman and was obsessed with her. Who would have expected her to be the enemys sexual entrapment? She got together with Mu Shun just because she wanted to harm Ximen Wuya. One day, she took the chance when Mu Shun didnt notice and actually coated the Extinguish Black Poison on Ximen Wuyas sword. Back then, Ximen Wuya wasnt the Cloud Heaven City Lord yet, but it was the almost time for the Grand Martial Duel for the position of the city lord. Because of the contaminated sword, Ximen Wuyas strength suffered a huge decline and nearly failed when he was just about to succeed in the strive for the city lord position. However, Ximen Wuya was a heavenly genius, thus, despite being inflicted with poison, he still defeated everyone and obtained the position as the city lord. Afterwards, his body was severely injured and his cultivation had declined and reversed for several years. On the day of the Grand Martial Duel, the woman who was in a mutual affection with Mu Shun had suddenly vanished. Mu Shun was astonished and enraged, he felt extremely remorseful and guilty. He knelt in front of Ximen Wuya and was about to draw his sword to commit suicide. However, Ximen Wuya stopped him and said, I trust that you will never try to hurt me. Death is easy, living on is the challenging part. Mu Shun immediately dispelled the thought of dying. Even if he was going to commit suicide, he had to find that woman first and kill her. After spending eight months, Mu Shun finally encountered that woman again. The woman who captivated him, the woman whom he hated to the bones. However, she was drenched in blood at that moment and was being pursued, someone else had wanted to kill and silence her. Most importantly, it seemed that she was pregnant. From the calculation of dates, it was evident that it was Mu Shuns child. Hence, Mu Shun wielded his sword and rushed to rescue the woman. But as there was an endless stream of pursuers, the duo had to continue fleeing. Mu Shun was originally there to kill her but ultimately rescued her. He was ashamed to return back to Cloud Heaven City, thus he brought the woman along and fled all the way to the northwest continents beach which was located in the extreme south. As he was about to travel on the boat and conceal themselves on the southwests Savage Lands, she unexpectedly gave birth. Therefore, the two of them were delayed since she had to give birth to their child on the beach, this was his daughter now, named, Mu Lianyi. Mu Shun didnt even have time to snip his childs umbilical cord before the enemies arrived. He desperately tried to fight against them, but it was too difficult to do it all by himself. He was truly desperate at that time, he didnt even mind if he had to die, however, he didnt want his child who was just born to fall into the vicious hands of the enemy. Just as the family of three was about to be slaughtered, Ximen Wuya appeared and immediately killed all the enemies. As it turns out, Ximen Wuya had been searching for Mu Shun for a month now, he happened to hear the sound of fighting from a few miles away. He was actually able to hurry over in time. Mu Shun was truly overwhelmed with emotions and wanted to die from guilt. He knelt in front of Ximen Wuya and said that he and the woman could die, however, he pleaded Ximen Wuya to spare his daughter and bring her back to Cloud Heaven City, even if she had to become a slave or a servant. Ximen Wuya let out a light sigh and tossed a bag of money to Mu Shun, he said, You arent suited for a blood-filled life. Bring the woman and child to live a regular life on the Savage Lands. Finishing his statement, Ximen Wuya left gracefully. He left behind Mu Shun, the woman, and the wailing baby on the beach. Consequently, Mu Shun came to this place and relied on the bag of gold he got from Ximen Wuya to build this family business, the Mu Clan Docks. He had since changed his name to Mu Liancheng. At this moment, Mu Liancheng was trembling while crying, he spoke with a sobbing voice, There were countless times that I wanted to bring the child up north and visit the City Lord. But I didnt dare as I was too ashamed. It was only until the recent months that the Young Lady riddled with wounds appeared in front of me and told me that City Lord was no longer around... This was shocking news for me and my innards nearly burst out... If I didnt have a daughter to take care of, I would have immediately followed the City Lord. However, the Young Lady handed this scroll to me and said that a few months later, maybe a half a year or even a year later, a man would come to retrieve this scroll. She said that man is her husband and the future Cloud Heaven City Lord. I have been longing and expecting your arrival every day, I have finally waited long enough for Young Lords arrival. After finishing his words, Mu Liancheng had completely crumbled onto the ground as he was crying and unable to get up. It was at this moment that Yang Dingtian finally understood why Yanyan would leave the invaluable Pig Slaying Sword Arts scroll in this place. Mu Liancheng was definitely a person that was worth trusting, if he couldnt be trusted then there was no one else that could be trusted in this world. Uncle... Uncle Mu, please get up, Yang Dingtian went forward to help Mu Liancheng to his seat. This old servant doesnt dare to... Mu Liancheng quickly said, Young Lord, please wait a moment, I will immediately go bring the scroll here. No hurries Uncle Mu, please take a seat first. Yang Dingtian asked, I have things to ask you. What is this martial contest for marriage about your daughter? Mu Liancheng waved his hand and said, You dont have to bother with such trivial matters. You have more important things to do. My daughter will be fine, you dont have to worry. At first, Yang Dingtian really didnt want to be involved in this, but he didnt expect for Mu Liancheng to be in such a close relationship with Ximen Wuya, so close that he couldnt just ignore them. I must bother you about this matter. Yang Dingtian said, Our Cloud Heaven City might have encountered a great change, but the unruly forces of the Savage Lands are something that we cannot disregard. How powerful is the Raging Flames Castle? What is the cultivation class of their master? If I cannot deal with them, I will immediately send a letter to the northwest continent and get Big Brother Ximen Lie to lead the Black Blood Cavalry and eradicate this Raging Flames Castle. Our ladies from the Cloud Heaven City must not be bullied. With Young Lords statement, this old servant would die feeling everything was worth it. Mu Liancheng said, However Young Lord, this matter isnt so simple. The Raging Flames Castle isnt trying to forcefully marry my daughter because of her looks. Its because of a treasure. Treasure? What treasure? Yang Dingtian asked. Mu Liancheng explained, Young Lord should know that our Mu Clan Docks make a living by harvesting pearls. I dont know if its a fortune or misfortune when one of the past days, my daughter, Lianyi, actually harvested a rare treasure during her dive. This treasure is priceless and is enough to support ten... no even a hundred Mu Clan Docks. Its actually so valuable? What kind of pearl is it? Yang Dingtian asked with astonishment. This was a world where martial prowess ruled supreme, hence the value of treasures were highly regarded, not much lesser than at modern-day Earth. Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl! Mu Liancheng replied. Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl! Yang Dingtians body shivered. It was unbelievable, the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl was the thing he needed the most right now. The Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl is formed by the extreme cold of heaven and earth. It would normally grow ten thousand meters under the sea within the Icy Mystic Jade. However, when there was an earthquake under the sea, the solid Icy Mystic Jade shattered and the Fire Immunity Chilling Jade was released, it floated in the vast sea. This Mu Lianyi was truly fortunate to actually harvest this treasure which could only be found once in a century in this vast sea. Mu Liancheng was right. This Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl was more valuable than one hundred Mu Clan Docks and was even considered priceless to others. As the name implied, the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl could withstand almost all types of powerful fire attribute attacks. If a Mystic Martial Warrior had a Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, even if the opponent was a Grandmaster class expert, the pearl bearer wouldnt suffer any damage if the attack was of fire attribute. Hence, if anyone possessed this Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, it would be equivalent to having a few more lives. To some people, this might just be an absolute treasure. Yang Dingtian was one of the people that needed this Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl the most. Because after he obtains the second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art, he would have to move to the Fire Cloud Devil Cave, where there was a ninth-grade coal-seam fire. This was where Yang Dingtian was going to forge his own sword souls young blade. (TL note: ػ was previously translated as earth fire, but I realized that it should be coal-seam fire) (TL note: The direct translation for = Chick Sword, which I find weird, hence I shall name it as young blade first) He had been unconscious and recuperating for nearly more than the past two months in the Sea of Hades. Yanyan took around a month to bring him to the Sea of Hades. Hence, there were less than twenty days before the ninth-grade coal-seam fire was going to blossom, once he missed it, he would have to wait for another decade before its next blossom. This place was several thousands of miles from the Fire Cloud Devil Cave, hence the time that was given to Yang Dingtian to find the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl was extremely pressing. He never would have expected to effortlessly find the thing that he needed the most here since it was also the hardest to find if not for this chance. How could he not be pleasantly surprised? In order to defeat Dongfang Bingling, Yang Dingtian had to cultivate a sword soul in the shortest amount of time possible. Despite the fact that only Grandmaster class experts were able to cultivate sword souls in history, Yang Dingtian wanted to create a miracle. It could be said that forging the young blade and cultivating the sword soul was the most important thing to Yang Dingtian now. It was also the most important segment for Yang Dingtian to grow stronger. This young blade was the first step and also the most crucial step for the sword soul. Even though it was merely a young blade, its power would be astonishing and enough to make Yang Dingtians combat strength rise by a few classes. However, the Fire Cloud Devil Cave was guarded by a demonic beast, the Heaven Flames Phoenix. It was a formidable demonic beast that wasnt inferior to that Abyss Overlord which guarded the ten thousand years blood black gold. Twenty years ago, Dongfang Niemie once ventured into the Fire Cloud Devil Cave and was completely helpless against the Heaven Flames Phoenix. On the contrary, he nearly perished at the time even though he was already close to being a Grandmaster class expert. Thus, if one wanted to kill an unsealed Heaven Flames Phoenix, it was like a lunatics dream. But with the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, all the problems would be easily solved. That was because, with it, Yang Dingtian could resist against the fire attribute attack for a split moment and enter the Fire Cloud Devil Cave. It was as though everything was destined. Just as Yang Dingtian had to go forge his young blade in the Fire Cloud Devil Cave, the Mu Clan Docks actually had the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. For him to successfully obtain this Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, there was going to be trouble. The influential Raging Flames Castle within this thousand miles radius had their eyes on the pearl. They even wanted both the woman and the treasure. Yang Dingtian asked, This Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl is such a rare treasure. The Mu Clan Docks should be trying to keep it a secret. Why did information about this spread? Who are we to blame? Mu Liancheng said, We knew that an innocent man would be guilty if they tried to hide a treasure, hence when we obtained the treasure pearl, I immediately hid it and gave the order for everyone involved to seal their lips. I wanted to wait for Young Lord to come and retrieve the scroll and hand it to you at the same time. This would represent my trifling intentions, but who would have thought that my clan had a traitor... Mu Liancheng clenched his teeth and continued, Due to the fact that I had been living with guilt all this time. I felt that I wasnt worthy for such a wonderful life, this was why I had been doing generous everywhere to make up for my sins. So, my clan adopted many orphans as our adoptive sons, among them was Mu Ze, he was clever and quick-witted. I liked him the most and even treated him as if he was my own birth son despite the fact that he was an adoptive son, Mu Ze was already considered half the owner of the Mu Clan Docks. When Lianyi harvested the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, there were only three individuals who knew of it. Me, Lianyi and the... traitorous son, Mu Ze. Ever since a long time ago, Mu Ze had always admired Lianyi and wanted to marry her. While I was glad to see it happen, Lianyi didnt like Mu Ze that way and even said that he was frivolous and crafty. Mu Ze had requested for Lianyis hand in marriage, I was willing in my heart but how could I violate Lianyis will. Hence, Mu Ze harbored a grudge. He said that I was only kind to him on the surface and actually didnt treat him as my own son, that I was treating him like an outsider. One day, Mu Ze wanted to forcefully violate Lianyi, however, he wasnt a match for her. Due to her anger at the moment, Lianyi beat him up so much that he vomited blood. Mu Ze had resentment in his heart and immediately left the Mu Clan Docks to pledge allegiance to the Raging Flames Castle. He gave out the information that the Mu Clan possessed the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. Hence, the Raging Flames Castle sent a marriage proposal for Lianyi and even asked for the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl as the dowry, they even told the Mu Clan Docks to reply in ten days. Hmph, such an ingrate. He must be ripped into pieces, Yang Dingtian sneered and said. Mu Liancheng said, To be honest, I have come to acceptance after living half my life, I dont even want to bother about treasures like the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. If the Raging Flames Castle wants it, I can give it to them, however, I am unwilling to push my daughter into a living hell. That Young Lord from the Raging Flames Castle is a brute, but that wasnt a good enough reason to reject their marriage proposal. Hence the reason why I arranged for this martial contest for marriage. I hope to find a good man for Lianyi to marry within ten days, this would give me the reason to reject them. Immediately after, Mu Liancheng looked at Yang Dingtian and said, But now that Young Lord is here, everything is settled. I will hand the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl and scroll to you. You should take it and leave immediately. What about the Mu Clan Docks? Yang Dingtian asked. Mu Liancheng laughed and replied, Im not afraid of death, However, Im afraid I would die without any purpose. Furthermore, I should have died long ago. Now that I can repay the City Lord a favor, I would be able to die a happy man. But if Young Lord is willing and not afraid of a burden, please take my daughter and leave this place. It doesnt matter if she is going to be a servant or slave, it would be her blessing. I will not agree to it. Yang Dingtian spoke resolutely and decisively, I will not look on without doing anything for the Mu Clan Docks trouble. If I dont solve the problem here, I will not leave. Young Lord... Mu Liancheng spoke loudly, Cloud Heaven City is more important. If I cant even solve a small problem, am I even qualified to talk about a bigger one? Yang Dingtian said, Im not afraid to speak honestly. I really do need the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, however, if I dont help the Mu Clan Docks solve their trouble. I will not take the pearl. The Raging Flames Castle has great power and we truly are not a match for them, Mu Liancheng stated. Yang Dingtian said, I mentioned it before. If I cannot handle it, there is still Big Brother Ximen Li and the others. Our Cloud Heaven City might have experienced a drastic change, but it would still be an easy task to extinguish the Raging Flames Castle. There isnt enough time Young Lord. Mu Liancheng said, Tomorrow, the Raging Flames Castles Young Lord is going to come here and personally take Lianyi. What is that Young Lords cultivation? Yang Dingtian asked. The Raging Flames Castles Young Lord might be licentious and brutal, however, he is still a martial genius within this thousand miles radius. Hes 25 years old this year and doesnt have a match against all the youths around here. I think hes at least a nine-star Mystic Martial Warrior, Mu Liancheng informed. Nine-star Mystic Martial Warrior... this meant he was six classes above Yang Dingtian. Now that Yang Dingtian couldnt use the Night Owl Giant Blade, it was indeed hard to guarantee his victory. Moreover, to prevent exposing his identity, he had to use a lance instead of a sword as his weapon, making it even more difficult for him to defeat his opponent. However, Yang Dingtian had another chance at advancing his class, this would be the second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art. If he was able to advance to five-star Mystic Martial Warrior, then Yang Dingtian would have the confidence to defeat the Raging Flames Castles Young Lord. Father... At this moment, there was a clear and pleasant voice that came from the outside. Its my daughter, Lianyi. Shes just in time to pay her respects to Young Lord, Mu Liancheng spoke with delight. s?a??h th? N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.

Its my daughter, Lianyi. Shes just in time to pay her respects to Young Lord, Mu Liancheng spoke with delight. No need to hurry. Yang Dingtian said, Dont tell her my identity for now. Im afraid she might reveal some information in front of others. Mu Liancheng was startled for a moment, he nodded and said, Thats true. Lianyi is still very young after all. He faced outside and replied back, Lianyi, whats the matter? The three are anxious from waiting, theyre asking when the martial contest will begin, Mu Lianyi spoke from outside. We will begin immediately. Please ask them to go to the stage, bring them there first. Ill come over now, Mu Liancheng said. Okay father, Mu Lianyi replied and left. Mu Liancheng asked, Young Lord must be hungry right? I will ask someone to prepare some wine and dishes. Im in no hurry to eat. Lets go to the contest stage first, Yang Dingtian replied. ************************ The Mu Clan Docks martial arts stage was naturally inferior in comparison to Cloud Heaven Citys stage. It was only about a thousand square meters that were laid with bricks. Over here, Yang Dingtian finally saw the Mu Lianyi who was considered the beauty within these several hundred miles. She might be a beauty, but she wasnt the kind of absolute beauty like Dongfang Bingling and Ximen Yanyan. She had a beauty that portrayed health, vitality, and wild nature. Her skin wasnt snow-white, it was the healthy wheat color instead. She had two big eyes, a high nose bridge, refined and delicate lips. She had a face that was tender and wild, yet imposing at the same time. Perhaps due to harvesting pearls all year round, her delicate body was filled with healthy vigor and was also quite similar to a water snake. She had a small waist that looked slim but powerful, she had the most slender legs that Yang Dingtian had ever seen... On the contest stage, there were several Mu Clan Docks servants, armed guards, and even Mu Lianchengs three adopted sons. These people were all looking at Mu Lianyi, who was on the stage, with admiration and worship. Only the three male youths who came to participate in the martial contest for marriage were looking at Mu Lianyi with eyes of passion and infatuation. Mu Lianyis style of dressing was very different from the regular young ladies from other prestigious clans. To ease the convenience of her regular dives, she would normally be wearing tight-fit clothing that was made of snakeskin. However, her shoulders, breasts, and groin area were embedded with intricate armor. This style of dress might have been convenient for maneuvering but it also exposed her figure. Mu Lianyi looked at everyone, when she saw the newcomer Yang Dingtian, her eyes paused for a moment before shifting away. All the heroes that are here, despite the fact that I have repeated these words many times, if you want to marry me, you might suffer the bitter retribution from the Raging Flames Castle. Our Mu Clan Docks is a minor faction is totally helpless against them. When that time comes, you might be implicated and might even lose your life. Thus, there is still time for you to back out. Mu Lianyi had a very pleasant voice which was loud and clear. It was straightforward and firm like the sound of pearls hitting on silverware while her eyes had this naturally sexy and electrifying captivation. As though they were electrified by her eyes, the three youths immediately boiled with passion, they struck their chest, What do I have to fear for if it is for the Young Lady? Thats right. If doing so would prevent Young Lady from falling into the hands of evil, it will be worth it even if my head drops! Mu Lianyi heard the responses and replied, I will express my gratitude from all the affection you have conveyed. Nevertheless, if you want to marry me then you have to win against me first! Im a six-star Mystic Martial Warrior, if you cant even defeat me, then you are naturally not a match for that bastard from the Raging Flames Castle. You need not come up at all! This fiery beauty, Mu Lianyi, was actually a six-star Mystic Martial Warrior, three classes higher than Yang Dingtian. However, Yang Dingtian knew that if he had to make a move, he was certain that he could defeat her. Finally, Mu Lianyi suddenly drew out the curved saber on her waist and said, Who is going to come first? Let me! A thunderous roar echoed. A 1.9 meter tall robust and sturdy man jumped onto the contest stage while wielding a long-handled large saber. He was truly large and sturdy like a rhinoceros, the muscles on his body were like steel. That large saber in his hand weighed at least 200 kilograms, but he was wielding it effortlessly. Mu Lianyis height wasnt very different from him, however, in front of his powerful bison-like body, it made her look delicate and slender. It seemed as though a single punch from him was enough to break Mu Lianyis delicate body. An is Niu Dali and An come from Mt. Sky Dragon 800 miles away! An is the Sky Dragon Strongholds Young Lord. There was one day when An was planning to plunder, but An encountered Young Lady who was transporting pearls. An was shocked by the Young Ladys beauty and had forgotten to attack while An was hidden in the bushes. An only awoke after Young Lady had left far away. Afterward, An announced to all the heroes within the few hundred miles radius that if anyone dares to plunder from Mu Clan Docks carriages, An, Niu Dali would kill their entire family. Niu Dali pounded on his chest and continued, Young Lady, An knows that An is not worthy of you. But when An heard that you are hosting a martial contest for marriage, An couldnt help but come down from the mountains. An dont even dare to look at you, let alone marry you. But if anyone dares to bully you, An will risk his life against them! (TL note 1: An is a northern China dialect for I) (TL note 2: The miles here refers to the Chinese mile which is around 500 meters) Once Niu Dali spoke, everyone instantly burst out laughing. Yang Dingtian looked at this strong man with curiosity and couldnt help but laugh as well. This Niu Dali was truly a cute and outspoken person. Mu Lianyi bowed with respect after hearing Niu Dalis statement, Thank you Big Brother Niu. Dont... dont... Dont look at An with such eyes, An cannot take it, Niu Dali instantly became very embarrassed. His large face instantly blushed as he clenched his large saber tightly, Young Lady, let us start our fight. Otherwise, my mind might just forget how to move. Okay Big Brother Niu, please give me some pointers, Mu Lianyi flicked her curved saber and pointed the blade at Niu Dali. Huuu... Niu Dalis eyes changed and his embarrassed face instantly turned into an expression of might. The large saber in his hand lifted up through the air like a thunderbolt while his muscles were echoing as they tensed up. An is coming, Niu Dali brandished his large saber and rushed at Mu Lianyi. Yang Dingtian had a slight change in expression when he saw this. This Niu Dali might look boorish, but his strength was rather competent. He had an innate physical strength even though his mystic qi class might not be high, he was still rather overbearing. He was an unpolished gem. After some sculpting, he could obviously become an expert. Boom! All of a sudden, Niu Dalis saber was cleaving down at Mu Lianyi. As Mu Lianyis curved saber received the large saber there was an instant outburst of sparks and a loud crash. Mu Lianyis delicate body shuddered while the bricks underneath their feet were shattered. Immediately after, Niu Dalis blade twisted and brandished towards Mu Lianyis waist. His moves were flawed, however, he was blessed with innate physical strength. This made his moves extremely overbearing. The vicinity within a few meters of his body was actually well fortified and didnt allow any attacks to force their way in. This Niu Dali was truly a natural martial maniac. His flawed saber arts were actually executed in such an overbearing manner that made it bursting with killing qi. Mu Lianyi took advantage of her nimble maneuvers and evaded. After over a dozen moves, Mu Lianyi immediately spotted the flaws in Niu Dalis saber arts. All of a sudden, her delicate body moved like a sea snake that buried into Niu Dalis frenzied saber slashes. Everyone gasped as they were worried Mu Lianyi might be turned into mince at the next moment. Unexpectedly, Mu Lianyis delicate body twisted and turned with absolute accuracy, thus evading all the dangerous saber edge slashes, she finally got near to Niu Dali. Bang! Once Mu Lianyi got near, she struck the back of her saber on Niu Dalis chest. Ahh! Niu Dali yelled out miserable and took over ten steps backward before he immediately sat on the ground. An, An lost so quickly? Niu Dali sat on the ground in astonishment for a moment. Subsequently, he scratched his head and immediately leaped off the contest stage and declared, An lost, but An will not leave. An will wait for that bastard who bullied you. Thank you Big Brother Niu. Mu Lianyi said, Big Brother Nius moves are flawed but powerful. If you have a good master guiding you, you will surely improve in leaps and bounds. If I can survive this crisis. I will bring Big Brother Niu to a veterans place. It should prevent an unpolished gem like you being buried in the sand. Okay! Okay! My skills were all blindly learned from my father. Hes in a daze more often than hes sober, Niu Dali said. Right now, Yang Dingtian had no choice but to reassess Mu Lianyi again, her cultivation was far beyond what he imagined. During the fight with Niu Dali, she never used any mystic qi from the start to finish. All she used were her moves since she didnt want to take advantage of Niu Dali. If she were to use her mystic qi, Niu Dali wouldnt even be able to withstand a single blow. But not everyone noticed this point. When the white-clothed youth saw how Mu Lianyi had to use ten moves to defeat Niu Dali, he was instantly delighted. He quickly leaped onto the stage with an utmost confidence for victory. I am Cui Yiping and I come from the Yellow Sea Sword Sect which is 3,000 miles away. I have traveled to this place and didnt expect to see a Young Lady who would be this beautiful in such a remote area. I am a member of a righteous sword sect and will not be misguided due to charm. My reason for participating in the contest is definitely not for lust. I am just assisting after I happened to witness such injustice, Cui Yiping might have spoken like this, however, his eyes couldnt help but gaze passionately at Mu Lianyis charming face and fiery hot figure. Please give me some pointers, Mu Lianyis impression towards this Cui Yiping wasnt nice. She merely nodded and immediately raised her curved saber. Cui Yiping was angered when he saw that Mu Lianyis attitude towards him was worse than how she treated Niu Dali. He instantly sneered and said, Young Lady, my martial dao is definitely not some unorthodox art from the mountains. After giving his advice, Cui Yiping immediately revealed his longsword and executed a sword art. His wrist which turned shed some sword flowers, it was indeed very graceful. Im a one-star Mystic Martial Warrior, Young Lady please be careful! Cui Yiping suddenly yelled out while his sword extended out with a sword light that was a few meters long. The man and sword combined, he thrust towards Mu Lianyis chest like a shooting star. Boom! Mu Lianyis curved saber abruptly burned with a fireball, cleaving at the oncoming opponent. Bang! Cui Yiping along with his sword flew several meters before he finally crashed on the ground. Cui Yipings sword move was graceful and had astounding strength. But Mu Lianyi only used just one move to defeat him. Everyone was instantly shocked before they immediately burst out with laughter. Cui Yiping got up while being in a sorry state. He spoke with an expression filled with resentment, You uncivilized woman who doesnt know whats good for you. Youre full of tricks with a body with brute strength. Todays humiliation will be cleansed in the future. Farewell! Finishing his statement, Cui Yiping walked away. Everyone burst into laughter again, however, Yang Dingtian didnt. This Cui Yiping was a solid one-star Mystic Martial Warrior, but he was actually instantly defeated by Mu Lianyi. It seemed like her strength was far beyond his expectations. After Niu Dali and Cui Yiping were defeated. There was only Yang Dingtian and a black-clothed man left, everyone looked at the two of them. The black-clothed man looked over at Yang Dingtian with a look of inquiry. Yang Dingtian shook his head, this indicated that he wasnt going to go on stage. That black-clothed man instantly leaped onto the contest stage. My name is Jia Ming, a nobody. Greetings to Young Lady, The black-clothed man had ordinary looks but his eyes had this faint radiance. Greetings to this mister, Mu Lianyi bowed with respect. Immediately after, the black-clothed Jia Ming slowly drew out his weapon. It was a black iron ruler. Even from such a far distance, Yang Dingtian could feel the special energy that was coming from the iron ruler, this showcased that Jia Ming was an expert. (TL note: Iron Ruler is a long flat-like mace weapon which isnt normally used in the military) It was apparent that Mu Lianyi and Mu Liancheng felt the special energy, seeing as their expressions turned grave. Huff... Jia Mings iron ruler extended out and his body flashed towards Mu Lianyi like a zombie. Mu Lianyi was shocked. She immediately placed the curved saber in front of her and abruptly jumped off from the ground. Bang! There was a muffled sound of a crash. There werent any sparks this time while Mu Lianyis reflective saber was actually contaminated and turned pitch black. Her face suddenly turned pale at this moment as she was obviously injured by this attack. This person had strange moves and his weapon was also strange. Mu Lianyis delicate body retreated rapidly as she wanted to use her nimble maneuvers to move around the opponent, she traversed around the stage like a shadow. Mu Lianyi was fast, however, it was soon apparent that this Jia Ming was even faster. He was just like a black apparition that instantly moved and kept in close proximity near Mu Lianyi at all times. Bang! Mu Lianyi was struck on her chest. Bang! She was immediately struck on her waist after. Bang! The side of her legs was subsequently struck. Everyone present was instantly infuriated. This Jia Mings moves were utterly despicable. Shameless... Mu Lianyi was angered by humiliation. She didnt try to dodge anymore and instead, she brandished her curved saber while her body burst out with intense mystic qi glow as she rushed at Jia Ming. In an instant, Mu Lianyi arrived in front of Jia Ming, her curved saber was cleaving downwards on his shoulder. Huff... All of a sudden, Jia Mings figure instantly vanished. Bang! Immediately after, Mu Lianyi felt pain on her back, Jia Ming had appeared behind her and his iron ruler struck on her perky round butt. This individual had strange moves and he was fast as a phantom, this made his attacks unguardable. Furthermore, every move of his was despicable and unbearable. It caused everyone to be furious just by watching the fight. Mu Lianyi, who was a six-star Mystic Martial Warrior was actually not a match for him. Im going to risk it all! Furious with shame, Mu Lianyi stood straight before she abruptly leaned backward while her curved saber slashed at Jia Mings waist like a snake. Bang! The iron ruler in Jia Mings hand swung down and smashed onto Mu Lianyis chest. Yang Dingtians expression changed. He then spoke to Mu Liancheng, Uncle Mu, this man came from an unknown origin and his moves are devious and evil. Mu Lianchengs body trembled for a moment and a hidden weapon suddenly appeared in his hand, he was ready to fire at any moment. However, this was a contest and he knows that he must not break the rules. Seeing that the black iron ruler was smashing towards her chest, Mu Lianyi quickly twisted her curved saber and blocked it against Jia Mings iron ruler. Bang! The two weapons clashed hard. There was this soft and strange energy that made its way into Mu Lianyis arm. Once she felt that energy, it felt as though her energy was like mud that sank into the sea. Her energy was quickly consumed forcefully, causing her delicate body to go soft as she immediately collapsed on the ground. Jia Ming sneered and moved forward, he thrust his iron ruler at Mu Lianyis chest, trying to tear off a piece of her snakeskin clothes. Mu Lianyi was alarmed and quickly rolled. Ss... Her action caused the iron ruler to immediately rip off the snakeskin on Mu Lianyis chest, this revealed the skin within. Despicable! Im going to kill you! Mu Lianyi was infuriated as she pressed onto the clothes on her chest. She quickly evaded the next attack but exposed the vital point on her abdomen. There is nothing unfair in a battle! You fell into my trap! Jia Ming yelled out while his iron ruler extended by a few meters. He vigorously pointed at Mu Lianyis qi vessel area. Ahh! Mu Lianyi let out a miserable scream and immediately flew several meters. She spat out a mouthful of fresh blood while her legs were staggering as she nearly fell off the contest stage. Young Lady, it seems that this is my victory, Jia Ming let out a proud smile. Its too early to say that, Mu Lianyi sneered and said. Sea Snake Transformation! She let out a delicate yell while her beautiful eyes shot out a ray of bewitching blue light. In an instant, her entire body had completely transformed into a snake that immediately lunged at Jia Ming. Swish... Swish... Swish... Swish... Mu Lianyis delicate body slithered around like lightning in the sky. The curved saber in her hand had turned into countless saber lights which slashed towards Jia Ming at rapid speed. It was extremely fast, strange, agile, and sharp. Yang Dingtian was astonished upon seeing this. After Mu Lianyi executed the Sea Snake Transformation, her lethality actually increased by several folds. Be it the speed or the strength, everything had grown stronger. The Sea Snake Transformation was definitely Mu Lianyis trump card which could only be executed in crucial moments. Dragonfish Transformation! Jia Ming yelled out on the stage with a roar that echoed in the sky. A black giant shadow suddenly rushed out and engulfed Mu Lianyis sea snake. Two lumps of gray shadows were locked in an intense fight. A few minutes later, the victor had been decided. Pfff... Mu Lianyis delicate body flew several meters while vomiting fresh blood. Lianyi! Mu Liancheng was alarmed as he quickly rushed and caught hold of his daughter in mid-air. When Niu Dali saw that Mu Lianyi was injured, he was instantly furious. He brandished his large saber and dashed towards Jia Ming on the stage and roared, You dare hurt Young Lady Mu! An will tear you into pieces! As he roared, Niu Dali brandished his saber in a frenzy and had actually utilized all his strength to its limit while he roared with a thunderous voice, he assaulted Jia Ming. Jia Ming sneered as he extended the iron ruler in his hand, he gently tipped it on Niu Dalis large saber. Niu Dalis mountain-like body instantly blasted off violently while he bled from the seven apertures of his head. His large saber was shattered. Bang! There was a loud sound when Niu Dalis body crashed, a giant pit formed in the ground. He was drenched in blood and unconscious. Niu Dali wasnt even able to withstand half a move from him. Everyone present had a drastic change in expression when they found out that Jia Ming was actually so powerful. Tsk. Tsk. All of you cant even take a single blow. And yet, you dare come to participate in a martial contest for marriage with such skills? Jia Ming laughed sarcastically as he continued, Im taking Young Lady Mu for sure. My wife, I had already held back earlier. Otherwise, you would be bare naked in front of everyone now. I intentionally reserved my strength so that we could have a great time in our bridal room tonight. Hahaha... Once he made this declaration, everyone was instantly infuriated. All of Mu Lianchengs adoptive sons drew their weapons and got ready for a fight. Mu Liancheng was currently transferring his mystic qi to help his daughter recuperate, hence was the reason he wasnt able to talk. But when he saw his adoptive sons preparing to attack, he immediately shouted, Youre not allowed to go! Seeing that no one was coming on stage to challenge him, Jia Ming heartily laughed and said, You are all really a bunch of trash. I shall greet my father-in-law here. Let us conduct the wedding immediately, Im already salivating since I cant wait to have some fun in the bridal room... Jia Mings manner of speech was getting more shameless by the moment. He looked at the recuperating Mu Lianyi and stared at her body, he didnt conceal his sinister expression anymore. This mister. If I didnt guess it wrongly, youre not Jia Ming, right? Yang Dingtian suddenly spoke in a cold voice. Of course not. Even an idiot could easily see through this, Jia Ming snorted. Did you come from the Raging Flames Castle? Yang Dingtian asked coldly. Thats right. Im the Raging Flames Castles Young Lord, Tuoba Ye. You idiots only realize it now? The black-clothed man laughed grimly while he continued to speak, Old Mu, dont think that you can just make up some martial contest for marriage just to avoid having your daughter getting married to me. Youre still unable to escape from my clutches. Hand over your daughter and the pearl obediently. Otherwise, I will eradicate your entire Mu Clan Docks... Jia Ming brandished the black iron ruler in his hands and yelled arrogantly, Im asking for the last time! Is there anyone else who wants to try and snatch this beauty and pearl away from me? If there isnt, then the both of them are mine! Hahaha... While letting out a light sigh, Yang Dingtian grabbed his lance and stomped on the ground. He leapt onto the contest stage. Chapter 135: Defeating Tuoba, Shocking Everyone! Chapter 135: Defeating Tuoba, Shocking Everyone!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales While letting out a light sigh, Yang Dingtian grabbed his lance and stomped on the ground. He leapt onto the contest stage. No! Mu Liancheng instantly yelled out, My daughter is a six-star Mystic Martial Warrior and lost even after using the Sea Snake Transformation. Young... Hero Yan isnt a match for him! Hurry up and come down! I dont have the confidence to defeat him too. Yang Dingtian looked at Mu Liancheng and said, However, there are things that you have to do even if you dont have the conviction to do it. When Jia Ming saw Yang Dingtian coming up, he immediately let out a hearty laugh, So there is someone who doesnt want his life anymore. Youre just in time though! Ill cut down your head and use it as a urinal pot. Immediately after, Tuoba Yes body burst out with black qi, it had his body and the iron ruler in his hand expand by multiple folds. He was almost like a giant dark devil that suddenly crushed down at Yang Dingtian. Kid, I was just playing with that chick earlier. Now, I will let you see Tuoba Yes true strength! The giant iron ruler engulfed with the black shadow suddenly attacked at Yang Dingtian. Tuoba Ye was a devil who was notorious throughout the thousand miles radius around here. He had committed all kinds of misdeeds, he was mysterious and powerful too. No one would have expected for him to appear in the Mu Clan Docks martial contest for marriage. I would like to see how powerful you are exactly. Whats so strange about your black mystic qi? Yang Dingtian thought in his heart. Lifting his lance, he aimed it at Tuoba Yes iron ruler and suddenly thrust at it. Bang! There was a muffled sound. A lump of black shadow moved around the extending lance and immediately entered through Yang Dingtians palm. As the black shadow passed through his hand, Yang Dingtian suddenly felt his arm feeling sore and almost without any trace of strength. He couldnt even grip the lance which was only a few dozen kilograms. Not good... Yang Dingtian burst in retreat for several meters. Seeing Yang Dingtian suffering a loss, Tuoba Ye laughed loudly and instantly moved in front of Yang Dingtian like a blurred image. His speed was actually much faster than Yang Dingtian, he then quickly smashed the iron ruler towards Yang Dingtians chest. Be careful! The people under the stage exclaimed. Mu Liancheng couldnt help his daughter recuperate anymore. The hidden weapon in his hand abruptly shot out, flying towards Tuoba Ye at lightning speed. There was an instant flash of light before Mu Lianchengs hidden weapon was intercepted in midair. Afterward, an indifferent voice echoed from the sky. Mu Clan Head, you better dont break the rules for this martial contest for marriage. Mu Lianchengs expression changed. This individual was actually able to knock away his hidden weapon wouldnt showing himself. It was apparent that his cultivation was superior to Mu Liancheng. After hearing the voice, he could tell that the individual was definitely not younger than himself. It was evident that Tuoba Ye wasnt the only one that came. There were other experts from the Raging Flames Castle whose cultivation had surpassed Tuoba Ye. At this moment, Tuoba Yes iron ruler had slammed hard into Yang Dingtians chest. You can go and die now! Tuoba Ye laughed heartily. There was an intense pain that caused his blood and qi to tumble. Yang Dingtian took a few steps back but was somehow actually fine, the black shadow didnt even contaminate his chest. How is this possible? I struck you on your heart and you arent dead? Tuoba Ye was alarmed. Yang Dingtian took a few more steps back and maintained a distance from Tuoba Ye. Yang Dingtian had suffered for the first two moves, but he had also tested out his opponents limits. This persons mystic qi cultivation was higher than his, however, Yang Dingtian had the Nine Yang Mystic Meridians. As long as it wasnt a battle that exceeded ranks, he wouldnt be at a huge disadvantage. This Tuoba Yes cultivation was definitely not beyond the Mystic Martial Master class, he was much inferior compared to Qin Shaobai. Despite the fact that Yang Dingtian wasnt using the Night Owl Giant Blade and was using a lance which wasnt enhanced by mystic qi, it seemed that his opponents mystic qi wasnt at the level that could hurt him. The truly lethal thing was the poison in his foes mystic qi. Thats right, there was poison in his mystic qi! Upon contact, the poisonous mystic qi would enter the body and immediately inflict poison on the mystic meridians. The poison would cause the body to immediately feel sore and the victim would be unable to use their mystic qi. Hence, even though Mu Lianyi had a higher cultivation than Yang Dingtian, she was still at a huge disadvantage. The poison in the mystic qi was just like a virus. Even if one was several classes stronger than Tuoba Ye in terms of mystic qi, a single touch would cause all the mystic qi to be corroded by the poison. It would make Tuoba Yes opponent go weak and allowed him to slaughter them. The crucial part of Tuoba Yes plans was that he was extremely quick, this made it hard for anyone to hit him, but it was easy for him to hit his foes. This truly was a world that had all kinds of mysterious things. After coming to the southwests Savage Lands, he was actually able to see someone who cultivated poisonous mystic qi. Anyone would know that in order to poison the enemy, one had to poison themselves first. Cultivating poisonous mystic qi might be formidable, but the practitioner would surely shorten their lifespan in the process. However, as long as one knew of the enemys trait, there would be a way to defeat it. Tuoba Ye was fast, had weird footwork, and even poisonous mystic qi. The way to defeat him was not to clash weapons with him, but it was to get close to him and take the opportunity to break through his defenses and unleash a storm of attacks on him. Yan Nantian, youre not a match for him! Get down quickly and well discuss another way! Mu Liancheng was yelling from below. Yang Dingtian closed his eyes. He started to recall Tuoba Yes strange footwork and tried to find its flaws. Then, he arranged the combination of the Pig Slaying Sword Art to create the perfect attack pattern and moves to counter against it. The Pig Slaying Sword Art was able to become the no.1 mystical sword art in the world wasnt merely because of the mystic qi, the sword moves, and the footwork of the user. After practicing the sword moves countless times, the practitioner could break down the nine moves randomly and arranged them as needed or desired. The more Yang Dingtian used the Pig Slaying Sword Art, the more he felt the profundity in them. Seeing Yang Dingtian closing his eyes, Tuoba Ye laughed out and said, What? Pretending to be dead? Finishing his mockery, Tuoba Ye moved like a phantom and arrived in front of Yang Dingtian in an instant. The iron ruler was then smashed down on Yang Dingtians head. With his poisonous mystic qi and quick speed, he was truly fearless with these two advantages on hand. Yang Dingtian suddenly opened his eyes and saw his opponent smashing down with the iron ruler. He immediately leaned back and avoided the danger. However, doing this fully exposed the qi vessel area on his abdomen. Of course, Yang Dingtian was betting this huge risk. He gambled on the fact that Tuoba Ye would attack his qi vessel rather than his lower body. This was because his qi vessel had the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes covered on them while there was nothing protecting his lower body. If he guessed it wrong, then the consequences would be grave. As expected, when Tuoba Ye saw Yang Dingtians qi vessel exposed, he was instantly ecstatic. He let out a sinister smile while the iron ruler aimed at Yang Dingtians qi vessel, he smashed down with astounding qi presence. Tuoba Ye had nearly used all the mystic qi he had as he wanted to smash Yang Dingtian into smithereens. No! Mu Liancheng couldnt hold back anymore. He leaped into the air and wanted to dive at Tuoba Ye like a goshawk hunting a rabbit. Ta! A yell echoed in the air as a grey figure instantly appeared, the figure matched his palm with Mu Lianchengs palm. Mu Lianchengs body went sluggish and before he fell towards the ground. He took a dozen steps back while his qi and blood were in chaos. Before anyone could see the face of that grey figure, it suddenly vanished with a speed faster than their eyes could perceive. His footwork was many folds faster than Tuoba Yes and much stranger too. The two of them were definitely of the same martial dao, this person was clearly Tuoba Yes master. Mu Liancheng, if you dare to interfere with the martial contest again, then dont blame me for being merciless, The voice of the grey figure echoed in the air. Concurrently, there was a loud bang as Tuoba Yes iron ruler smashed onto Yang Dingtians qi vessel. Pfff... Yang Dingtian vigorously spat out a blood arrow which was a few meters long while his body immediately fell on the ground. Ahh! Mu Liancheng let out a scream of despair. The qi vessel was the most important part of a martial artist. Once this qi vessel was struck, the martial artists body would be broken into pieces and he would die on the spot. However, when Yang Dingtian fell down, a surprising thing happened exactly at the moment his back made contact with the ground. The tip of his foot abruptly kicked at the Tuoba Yes crotch in a swift and incisive movement. Be careful! The grey figure exclaimed. Tuoba Ye was currently looking at Mu Lianyi with a pleased expression. When he heard his master say something, he instantly felt a chill on his crotch which frightened him so much his soul nearly flew away. He wouldnt die after being kicked on the crotch, but his manhood would definitely be turned to a pulp. If that happened, he would rather die. Tuoba Yes body turned into a phantom as he suddenly jumped over ten meters in height as though he was a spring that was launched into the sky. But even so, his crotch was still grazed by the tip of Yang Dingtians foot, causing an intensely painful sensation. He screamed out in midair while his movement stagnated. Now is the time! Yang Dingtian yelled out. He pushed himself off the ground using his lance, launching his body into midair. Swish... While in midair, Yang Dingtian turned around. Pig Slaying Sword Arts fourth move, Getting Rid of the Heart and Lungs! Pig Slaying Sword Arts fifth move, Clearing the Intestines! Pig Slaying Sword Arts sixth move, Chopping Off the Limbs! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Taking the opportunity when Tuoba Ye was experiencing intense pain in his crotch and that his body paused. Yang Dingtian used the lance in his hand to launch a storm of attacks, assaulting Tuoba Ye in a frenzy. One attack after another attack, after another attack... In just a split moment, Yang Dingtian executed dozens of attacks. Tuoba Ye was violently spurting blood in midair while his body echoed with the sound of being bludgeoned. Finally, Yang Dingtians lance aimed towards Tuoba Yes head and was just about to smash down. Pig Slaying Sword Arts third move, Severing the Head! Tuoba Yes head was about to be turned into a pulp of flesh. Bang! A grey figure flashed from a distance. A formidable energy cleaved at Yang Dingtians chest through the air. Yang Dingtian felt that he was getting suffocated as his body flew back several meters, he was about to fall off the contest stage. His legs were hooking at the corner of the contest stage. Yang Dingtian struggled to stand up while fresh blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. However, the Tuoba Ye who was supposed to be dead was spinning in midair like a loach before recovering on the ground and standing straight after taking a few steps back. Shameless... Yang Dingtian turned to look at the grey figures direction and shouted, Mister, you said that you want the match to be a fair contest and didnt allow the Mu Clan Head to interfere. But just as Tuoba Ye was about to lose, you actually launched a sneak attack on me? You are truly despicable to the extremity. Do you still have the face to be a senior? Has your entire life been the life of a dog? Thats right, it was Tuoba Yes master who launched a sneak attack at Yang Dingtian at the final moment. He wanted Yang Dingtian to fail at the moment of success. This was also because Yang Dingtians final lance attack was about to kill Tuoba Ye. Yang Dingtian had risked his life to obtain this opportunity. Right now, it was going to be very challenging for Yang Dingtian to give Tuoba Ye another fatal strike. Yang Dingtians voice fell silent while the grey figure spoke indifferently, Kid, your loose tongue might cause more trouble. I can kill you like stepping on an ant. If youre so despicable, what else wouldnt you do? Im not afraid of death! Why use it to threaten me? Yang Dingtian sneered and said, Youre the one who is shameless and you dont allow people to point it out? Kid, you will regret this, The grey figures sinister voice echoed in the air, however, he didnt reveal himself and even went silent after that statement. The current Tuoba Ye was drenched in blood and riddled with scars. But his body was very weird, it was as though he had been soaked in poisonous herbs, making his body naturally tough like armor. Yang Dingtian had smashed him with the lance a few dozen times, but only a few bones were broken. Of course, it was also because Yang Dingtians weapon was too weak. If it was the Night Owl Giant Blade or the young blade of a sword soul, the current Tuoba Ye would have been dismembered into pieces. Tuoba Ye, you have been defeated. Get lost! Yang Dingtian spoke in a cold voice. Tuoba Ye wiped the fresh blood of his mouth and glared at Yang Dingtian with eyes of bitter resentment. He sneered and said, Me? Defeated? Its still too early to say that! Finishing his statement, Tuoba Yes eyes shot out with a demonic glow while his body arched. Pop! Pow! Pop! Pow... His body let a series of exploding sounds and immediately released clouds of black qi. His body constantly swelled and expanded. Moments later, Tuoba Ye turned into a fiendish devil that looked extremely ugly. He had totally transformed and was three meters in height. Right now, not only did he fully regain his cultivation, his mystic qi was even much stronger than before. It was obvious that he was using evil arts to utilize his mystic qi. Yang Dingtian had injured him and he wanted Yang Dingtian to be shredded into pieces. I have already announced that Mu Lianyi and the pearl is mine! If anyone dares to obstruct me, I will make them die without any burial grounds! Tuoba Ye roared out in a frenzied state before shouting towards the sky. Dragonfish Transformation! Previously he had used the Dragonfish Transformation to instantly defeat the six-star Mystic Martial Warrior, Mu Lianyi. Now, not only did he execute the Dragonfish Transformation, he even used evil arts to have an instant burst in cultivation. The current power he was giving off was much more powerful than the previous Dragonfish Transformation. In an instant, Tuoba Ye transformed into an incomparably large black shadow. He was like a devilish whirlwind that was trying to envelop Yang Dingtian by covering the sky. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom... There were loud sounds all of a sudden. The entire contest stage was pressed down by black clouds, making everything dark. Yan Nantian, get down quickly! Mu Liancheng exclaimed. He sent a palm strike towards Yang Dingtian, trying to use his mystic qi to push Yang Dingtian off the stage. Pfff... A formidable mystic qi blocked Mu Lianchengs attack. It was that grey figure again. He wanted Yang Dingtian to die from Tuoba Yes berserk Dragonfish Transformation. Despicable! Mu Liancheng roared out with fury while his eyes were splitting apart. Tuoba Yes black sinister shadow suddenly enveloped Yang Dingtian. The Dragonfish Transformation was Tuoba Yes trump card. He used the Dragonfish Transformation to neutralize Mu Lianyis Sea Snake Transformation, back then, it sent her flying several meters. Earlier on, Tuoba Ye only utilized 50% of the Dragonfish Transformation. Right now, in order to kill Yang Dingtian, he had utilized 120% of the Dragonfish Transformation. Yang Dingtian was instantly engulfed by the black shadow. Countless ice blades, mystic qi energy, and poison qi were oppressing and assaulting his body. Yang Dingtian felt as though he was being molded by countless 500-kilogram hammers while his heart was being pierced by thousands of arrows. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang... Countless attacks struck Yang Dingtians body. Pfff... Yang Dingtians blood surged out like a fountain, while his body was suddenly riddled wounds. Because the black qi contained toxic poison, Yang Dingtian felt as though his mystic qi was depleting rapidly. Heat and blood was also quickly leaving his body. He felt icy cold while his vision was blacking out. The Dragonfish Transformation was so horrifying, Yang Dingtian didnt even have the strength to retaliate. I didnt die in the hands of Qin Shaobai. I didnt die from the Martial Supreme, Ximen Ju either. But Im going to die in the hands of this Tuoba Ye? Yang Dingtian thought in his heart. If he had used the Night Owl Giant Blade, then this wouldnt have been his end. However, Yang Dingtian didnt regret it, he already swore an oath that he was never going to use the Night Owl Giant Blade again. Just as Yang Dingtian was about to be crushed into pieces, he suddenly felt that this Dragonfish Transformation was very familiar. He quickly recalled. This Dragonfish Transformation looked very similar to the Devil Devour Sword Formation that Qin Shaobai used. He immediately realized that it wasnt just similar, it truly was the Devil Devour Sword Formation! However, this was the fake version of the Devil Devour Sword Formation, it was simply wrapped with a layer of poison qi. s?a??h th? N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. He didnt expect for Tuoba Ye to actually know the fake version of the Devil Devour Sword Formation. This was an Evil Daos martial arts. Devil Devour Sword Formation? I can break out of it with my eyes closed! Yang Dingtian laughed grimly and began to circulate his mystic qi throughout his entire body. He aimed at the most powerful, dangerous, and insane corner before finally rushing out with lightning speed. It was the Devil Devour Sword Formations only flaw. Right now, Mu Liancheng and the grey figure were already in combat. Everyone looked at the contest stage with despair. Even Mu Lianyi had a grieving expression on her face. Everyone watching already assumed that Yang Dingtian was dead inside Tuoba Yes Dragonfish Transformation. Bang! A loud noise suddenly erupted. Yang Dingtians figure rushed out from within the cloud of black shadows, he directly rushed out from that horrifying Devil Devour Sword Formation. Ahh! Everyone let out gasps of surprise and couldnt believe what they saw. Even Tuoba Ye was stunned. Yang Dingtian actually didnt perish from his mystical and powerful Dragonfish Transformation! He even broke out of the formation? How... how is this possible? Now you can die! Yang Dingtian abruptly leaped up and dove into the Dragonfish Transformations black shadow once again. He raised the lance and aimed towards one of the black shadows before he smashed down. Pfff... Fresh blood splattered everywhere. Ahh! There was a mournful scream. The Dragonfish Transformations giant black whirlwind had vanished without a trace. The only thing visible was Tuoba Ye miserably screaming while his body flew several meters like rice straw. His skull was split open and fresh blood was gushing out, he still had yet to die. Everyone was completely shocked. What was going on? Not only did Yang Dingtian break the Dragonfish Transformation, he even split Tuoba Yes skull? This Tuoba Ye was much stronger than Mu Lianyi! Mu Lianyis mystic qi class was even more superior to Yang Dingtian! The grey figure and Mu Liancheng stopped fighting and looked at the stage with surprise in their eyes. Yang Dingtian looked down at Tuoba Ye, the latter was vomiting blood on the ground. Yang Dingtian said, You have lost. You cannot marry Mu Lianyi anymore. Get your ass back to Raging Flames Castle! Chapter 136: Substitute Chapter 136: SubstituteTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Tuoba Ye revealed a bitter grin and said, Yan Nantian, youre indeed formidable. I never would have expected you to actually be able to break my Dragonfish Transformation. However, it is still too early to talk about winning and losing right now. Im only a substitute for our Young Lord. Young Lord is many folds stronger than me. Hahaha! Once this statement was out, everyone was astonished! What? Youre just a substitute? Yang Dingtian yelled out in surprise. This Tuoba Ye immediately tore off his face and revealed a pale and ordinary look. He was indeed just a substitute. Thats right, Im just Young Lords sword slave. Young Lord sent me here to scout out the situation. He will be coming here personally, once he wins, the pearl and the beauty shall all belong to him. This substitute sneered and said, Yan Nantian, do you know what class is my Young Lord at? Speak! Yang Dingtian replied. He has already broken through to the Great Mystic Martial Master and possesses mystic skills. How are you going to beat him? Hahaha! The substitute laughed loudly and spurted blood at the same time. In an instant, Mu Liancheng and Yang Dingtian had a drastic change in their expression! The Great Mystic Martial Master was a clear and distinct limit for a martial artist. It symbolized what a true expert was, this was since the Great Mystic Martial Masters could learn mystic skills. The way a mystic skill is able to deal against a martial skill was a complete instant kill! Mystic skills and martial skills had a world of difference between them. Finally, the substitute used his avaricious eyes to look at Mu Lianyis fiery and sexy figure while laughing loudly. Beauty! Just wait to be defiled by our Young Lord! Finishing his statement, the substitute then used his palm to strike at his own head abruptly. Bang! There was a loud sound followed by the violent splatter of blood. This substitute blasted his own head into smithereens and had thoroughly died. Everyone present was shocked! s?a??h th? N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The substitute was obviously not going to die after being defeated, but he committed suicide in front of everyone. It was clear how ruthless and resolute the Raging Flames Castle did things. The grey figure who was an old man walked to the corpse of the substitute and placed his palm on the dead mans chest, he said indifferently, Dont worry. Young Lord will take revenge for you and severe this Yan Nantian into pieces. You can rest in peace. Pfff... Immediately after, the grey old man released his mystic qi. The substitutes corpse was blasted into smithereens. Afterward, the grey old man stood up and said, I am Hui Ying, a deacon of the Raging Flames Castle. Mu Liancheng, speak honestly. Did you win the match earlier between the two of us? (TL note: Hui Ying = Grey Eagle) Mu Liancheng stayed silent for a moment before speaking, I am not a match for you. Hui Ying said, Then between Yan Nantian and you, who more is superior? Mu Liancheng replied, Yan Nantian is not a match against me. Hui Ying responded, Then I can tell you that Im not a match for my Young Lord. His mystic skill, the Wind Shadow Devil Sword can kill me. Finally, Hui Ying looked at Yan Nantian and laughed grimly. How about now? Do you think youre going to be a match for our Young Lord? Is this beauty that important? Or is your life more important? Think carefully. Once Hui Ying finished his declaration, he turned into a shadow and left rapidly, vanishing in the blink of an eye. Mu Liangyi, clean yourself up and wait in bed for my Young Lord to bless you. Prepare the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl as the dowry. Tomorrow, my Young Lord will come and participate in the martial contest for marriage. Mu Liancheng, dont even think about escaping. Tomorrow, if my Young Lord doesnt see you and your daughter. We will slaughter all the innocent commoners in the surrounding hundred miles radius. Hahaha... Hui Yings sinister laughter echoed in everyones ears. It was a voice that caused them to tremble due to fear. The entire Mu Clan Docks was dead silent. Everyone had a foreboding expression on their faces. ****** Young Lord! You have to leave now and bring the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl with you, said Mu Liancheng. What about all of you? What will you do? Yang Dingtian asked. My cultivation might have declined for the past decade, but I will not shame the prowess of the Cloud Heaven City. Even if I have to die, I will still take down a few of the bastards from the Raging Flames Castle, replied Mu Liancheng. I will not leave. Yang Dingtian said, Uncle Mu, I dont mind telling you this. I really need the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl because I have to forge my soul sword in the Fire Cloud Devil Cave. But I will not go now, I will stand alongside all of you! No! Mu Liancheng spoke resolutely and without hesitation, Im someone who should have been dead a long time ago. The City Lord saved me, the past decade is a life I consider that was picked up back from hell. But Young Lord is different, you still have to kill Ximen Ju and take back Cloud Heaven City. Your life is invaluable and you cannot afford to fall here. You will take the second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art and the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl and leave immediately. Yang Dingtian went silent and shook his head resolutely. Mu Liancheng gritted his teeth and knelt down while saying, Young Lord! If you dont go, I will kneel here until I die. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, Uncle Mu, I will not leave. If I am to escape just because of meeting a mere Tuoba Ye, then how will I face Ximen Ju in the future? How will I face Dongfang Bingling? Mu Liancheng replied, But... He is already a Great Mystic Martial Master and is two ranks higher than you. He even has a mystic skill which is a quantitative leap in lethality compared to martial skills. Yang Dingtian fell silent again. Great Mystic Martial Master? Mystic skill? It was a complete myth to attain victory in a battle that had to exceed two ranks, it wasnt realistic at all. However, he might be able to battle using another method. Thats right. Tuoba Ye is a Great Mystic Martial Master and has mystic skills. I cannot defeat him in strength, but it doesnt mean I cannot defeat him with intelligence. Yang Dingtian said slowly, Furthermore, the second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art might bring me an unexpected breakthrough. Young Lord, youre insane! Tuoba Ye is seventeen classes superior and two ranks higher than you. No one within the thousand years of history has been able to win with such conditions, no one has even survived facing an opponent this stronger than them. Even if the Pig Slaying Sword Art is mystical, it wouldnt be able to help you breakthrough through more than ten classes quickly, Mu Liancheng spoke with a surprised tone. Uncle Mu, wait until I practice the second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art first. If there is truly no hope of winning, then I will not appear in battle. How about it? Yang Dingtian said, I already mentioned that Im going to fight with intelligence, not with strength. No, you have to leave, Mu Liancheng knelt on the ground and spoke with determination. Yang Dingtians face turned cold as he spoke, I am the Young Lord, I have the final say in this. I will not leave. Mu Liancheng let out a bleak smile and said, Young Lord, even if the second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art gives you an astounding breakthrough, even if you are able to win against Tuoba Ye in the martial contest tomorrow. What would it do? He will not just obediently back away after losing. The Raging Flames Castle has the advantage in numbers and has plenty of experts. They will definitely turn hostile and slaughter everyone, by then, they will snatch Lianyi and the Fire Chilling Immunity Pearl. When that time comes, you will die in vain. This is why we have to find an expert who has virtue and a great reputation to host and look over the martial contest in a fair and just manner. If Tuoba Ye is to lose, the Raging Flames Castle could only then leave obediently. Yang Dingtian asked, Is there such an expert in the nearby vicinity? Mu Liancheng thought for a moment and said, There is one. But that person is withdrawn and reclusive, he never interferes with such things. Im not afraid to tell you that when the Raging Flames Castle conspired against us, I did ask him for assistance and was even willing to offer the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. I begged him to protect the lives of my Mu Clan Docks, but he rejected me. Yang Dingtian was surprised. Mu Liancheng was willing to offer the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, yet he actually wasnt willing to help? This persons character is very headstrong. Who is that person? Yang Dingtian asked. It is the Wooden Sword Castles Master, Li Guinong, replied Mu Liancheng. Its him? Yang Dingtian exclaimed, Is the Wooden Sword Castle in the nearby vicinity? Its less than 300 miles away. It is also the only prestigious faction within the few thousand miles radius of this place. However, since Li Tianxiao rebelled, the Wooden Sword Castle has completely declined and are secluded, they are shunned by the world in the valley. They have never interfered in worldly matters. Mu Liancheng asked, Does Young Lord know him? When on the way to Yin Yang Sect. We happened to cross paths. Yang Dingtian asked, How is Li Guinongs cultivation rank? Martial Ancestor class. Within this thousand miles radius, he should be unmatched, Mu Liancheng replied. Yang Dingtian was aghast. Li Guinong had an ordinary look like an old common farmer, but he was actually so formidable. We will do it like this. Yang Dingtian said, I will go to the Wooden Sword Castle to invite Li Guinong to host the martial marriage contest at Mu Clan Docks. I believe that with him around, the Raging Flames Castle will not dare to be presumptuous. Young Lord, that person is reclusive and never bothers about worldly matters. He will not agree to it, Mu Liancheng responded. How would we know if we dont try again? Were going to do it like this. Yang Dingtian said, I will use my fastest speed to come back. Afterward, I will immerse myself into the second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art and cultivate. ****** Yang Dingtian was galloping on the horse, traveling towards the northeast direction with rapid speed. In the past, the Wooden Sword Castle was one of the clans of the Three Sects and Nine Clans. They had awe-inspiring prowess and was extremely powerful. There was a period of time when the Wooden Sword Castle had more than two Master class experts in every generation. (TL note: Master class is just one rank lower than Grandmaster class) But ever since the greatest traitor Li Tianxiao emerged two centuries ago, all of the experts in the Wooden Sword Castle were murdered while hundreds of thousands of the southwest alliance army were all poisoned. Ever since then, the Wooden Sword Castle had completely declined. The once-formidable Iron Sword Castle headquarters whose prowess had extended thousands of miles had also turned into ruins. Hence, the Wooden Sword Castle chose to migrate several hundred miles into a secluded valley. Yang Dingtian traveled at full speed. One and a half-hour later, he reached the Wooden Sword Valley, which was where the Wooden Sword Castle was located at. There was only one path to enter the valley. Halt your advance! The Wooden Sword Castle doesnt welcome any guests, Before entering the castle, two sword-wielding warriors obstructed the pathway. Yang Dingtian could clearly see that the guards of the valley entrance didnt wear any armor and were wearing coarse clothes. It was needless to think about the current financial situation of the Wooden Sword Castle when he saw this. Go report to Castle Master Li. Say that an old friend from the Yin Yang Sect is seeking for a meeting, Yang Dingtian spoke with respect. Yin Yang Sect? The two guards were instantly alarmed and had this respectful expression when they heard of the name of the Yin Yang Sect. Will the esteemed guest please wait a moment? I will go report now, one of the warriors bowed with respect and ran into the valley. The other warrior went to the side of a stone table and spoke to Yang Dingtian, Will the esteemed guest please have some tea? Yang Dingtian went over and sat while the warrior poured a cup of tea, he spoke with an ashamed expression, The tea leaves in this wilderness are crude. Esteemed guest, please forgive us. This is good enough, many thanks Senior Brother, Yang Dingtian responded. This warrior revealed an expression of admiration. This prestigious disciple was indeed different and was so humble. Hence, he sat down and had a conversation with Yang Dingtian while his expression and manner of speech were filled with admiration. It was obvious that the Yin Yang Sects halo was too shocking for him. About ten minutes later, there was a group of people that galloped out from the valley. The one leading the group was the Wooden Sword Castle Master Li Guinong and his daughter Shui Hongshao. Shui Hongshao still had this wild beauty that looked similar to Mu Lianyi. Our lowly castle is humbled by the visit from Senior Brother of the almighty sect. Li Guinong has been disrespectful and didnt welcome you earlier. Please forgive me, When Li Guinong was still over a dozen meters from Yang Dingtian, he bowed deeply. Yang Dingtian was stunned when he saw this. He thought that his appearance should be of the lowest hierarchy even if he was a Yin Yang Sect disciple. However, this Li Guinong was actually so respectful and even addressed him as a Senior Brother. Castle Master Li. Let us go in and talk, Yang Dingtian said. Yes Senior Brother, this way please, Li Guinong spoke with respect, on the contrary, Shui Hongshao looked at Yang Dingtian with eyes of resent and hostility. He didnt know why, but it might be because she was mistreated at the Yin Yang Sect. ******* In the large hall, Li Guinong invited Yang Dingtian for a seat and instructed Shui Hongshao to personally serve some tea. Hmph! After pouring a cup of tea for Yang Dingtian, Shui Hongshao couldnt bear it any longer and spoke in a soft voice, There is no one good from the Yin Yang Sect. Once she said this, Li Guinongs expression had a drastic change as he yelled out, Shui Hongshao, what nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and apologize to Senior Brother! What is there to apologize about? Its a fact. Shui Hongshao said, Theres no one good from the Yin Yang Sect! Especially that Dongfang Bingling who didnt comply with the rules of a wife. Not only did she break the promise of marriage, she even injured her own fianc. Big Brother Yang Dingtian is such a good person! Shut your mouth! Li Guinongs body was trembling as he pointed at Shui Hongshao and said, Get out of here. Get out!. Immediately after, he walked in front of Yang Dingtian and gave a deep bow. My daughter is rude and impetuous, would Senior Brother please forgive her? Li Guinong will always remember the kindness that the Yin Yang Sect offered to us. Without the Yin Yang Sect, my Wooden Sword Castle wouldnt be in the list of the Twenty-Seven Factions. If Senior Brother has any request to make, my Wooden Sword Castle would do it without any questions. Yang Dingtian quickly went forward and helped Li Guinong up. He then spoke softly, Martial Uncle Li, Im Yang Dingtian, What? Li Guinongs face changed drastically as he looked at Yang Dingtian with disbelief. He immediately walked out and closed all the doors and windows tightly. After making sure that no one was around, he turned back and asked with surprise in his voice, Are... Are you really Nephew Yang? Why... Why are you here? Shui Hongshao who was by the side instantly gasped and ran over, she quickly grabbed onto Yang Dingtians hands and said, Are... Are you really Big Brother Yang Dingtian? Yes, Its me, Yang Dingtian took off the mask on his face and revealed his real face. He had many masks and they were all placed in the spatial ring by Ximen Ningning in advance. Of course, compared to the Illusionary Beast Mask, these masks werent lifelike enough. If one didnt look closely, they wouldnt be able to tell. Ahh! Shui Hongshao exclaimed softly and used her hand to cover her small lips. She was desperately trying to hold back her tears while her other hand grabbed onto Yang Dingtian tightly. She was speechless. For unknown reasons, they merely had a single encounter and exchanged a few words, but it felt as though they were extremely close to each other. Seeing how his daughter couldnt conceal her affection, Li Guinong felt awkward, he said, Lass, you go stand by the door and dont let anyone come near. I have things to speak with your Big Brother Yang. En. Okay... Shui Hongshao spoke in a soft voice. She reluctantly let go of Yang Dingtians hand and spoke gently, Big Brother Yang, I will come and talk with you later on. After Shui Hongshao went out, Li Guinong then spoke in a soft voice, Nephew, the Northwest Qin Clan and the Cloud Heaven City are in pursuit looking for you. Not long ago, the Northwest Qin Clan even sent men to give me an order. It stated for me to kill you upon sight. Furthermore, it seems like they even sent a group into the southwest continent just to kill you. Do they know that Im in the southwest continent? Yang Dingtian asked. It seems like they have only detected you. In short, you just have to be careful. Li Guinong said, If this is the case, you can stay in my Wooden Sword Castle and wait for this wave of danger to blow over before leaving. Thank you Martial Uncle Li. But Im here this time for another request, said Yang Dingtian. You can say it, Li Guinong said. Martial Uncle Li, do you know of the Mu Clan Docks? Im here for them, Yang Dingtian said. Is it about the matters of the Raging Flames Castle forcing a marriage onto the Mu Clans Young Lady? Li Guinong asked, Nephew, what kind of timing is this? You still have the heart to bother about them? The Raging Flames Castle is colluding with the Northwest Qin Clan. You will be in grave danger. I cannot stand by the side. Yang Dingtian said, This is because Mu Liancheng is a member of Cloud Heaven City and was once the trusted aide of City Lord Ximen. They even look up to me as the Young Lord now. Li Guinong was astonished upon hearing this, They had this level of relationship? Yang Dingtian then said, This is why I cannot stand by the side and watch on as Mu Lianyi enters a living hell. I cannot forcefully look away as Tuoba Ye snatches away the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. Li Guinong stayed silent for a moment before he raised his head to ask, Alright then, say it, what do you need me to do? Yang Dingtian said, Despite the fact that you have secluded yourself and arent bothering with worldly matters. Within this thousand miles radius, you are still viewed as a person with virtue and a good reputation. Tomorrow, Tuoba Ye will personally participate in the martial contest for marriage. Thus, even if I defeat him, the Raging Flames Castle might turn hostile and kill everyone, even snatching Mu Lianyi and the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl as a result. So, Im here to request you to host the martial contest for marriage tomorrow. Hence, even if the Raging Flames Castle loses, they cannot slander the Mu Clan for anything else. What? Youre going to fight against Tuoba Ye? No! Li Guinong spoke resolutely, I know that Tuoba Ye has already broken through to the Great Mystic Martial Master and even obtained a mystic skill scroll. Even if you are an elite prodigy, you are still not his match right now. You cannot go to the martial contest. Yang Dingtian replied, Later on, I will return to learn the second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art and hope for a great breakthrough. Moreover, I will only fight in the martial contest tomorrow if I find that there is a chance for me to win. If there is no hope at all, then Im not going to fight. Li Guinong remained silent before saying, If thats the case, I will follow along with you. However, you dont have to participate in the martial contest tomorrow. I will get my eldest disciple, Ximen Bao to participate. He has already broken through to the Great Mystic Martial Master. He can fight against Tuoba Ye. Yang Dingtian pondered for a moment and nodded. Okay, I will abide by Martial Uncle Lis arrangement! Li Guinong stood up and said, Then we will set it like this. I will go and prepare immediately, then we will depart. Yes. Many thanks to Martial Uncle Li, Yang Dingtian spoke with respect. Yang Dingtians heart was truly filled with gratitude. Li Guinong was unrelated to Yang Dingtian but he still willingly broke out of his seclusion and got involved in this matter. After Li Guinong left, Shui Hongshao quickly came back in and looked at Yang Dingtian with a blushing face, she spoke in a tender voice, Big Brother Yang. Are you going to leave now that youve done what you came here to do? Before Yang Dingtian could reply, Shui Hongshao lifted her head and spoke expectantly, Can you please not leave? You can just stay in the Wooden Sword Castle. Yang Dingtian was startled, he replied, I still have many things I need to do. Is it to defeat Dongfang Bingling and take back the position as the Yin Yang Sect Patriarch? Shui Hongshao spoke in an agitated voice, What good is that? Wouldnt it be better to live a peaceful life? For a moment, Yang Dingtian didnt know how to answer. Shui Hongshao clenched her teeth and looked at Yang Dingtian with her big beautiful eyes, she continued, If you stay... I will marry you. I will give birth to your children and serve you for my whole life. Wouldnt that be good enough? Chapter 137: Second Rank of Pig Slaying Sword Art! Meeting Xuwu Piaoyan Again! Chapter 137: Second Rank of Pig Slaying Sword Art! Meeting Xuwu Piaoyan Again!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtians heart was racing as he looked at Shui Hongshao. Her charming face was completely flushed red. Despite being extremely embarrassed she was, she still courageously looked at Yang Dingtian. Her beautiful and wild face looked especially tender and lovely right now. Taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian responded, Youre truly a lovable and beautiful girl. However... Its a pity that I already have a wife and I cannot have this blessing. Is it Ximen Yanyan? She has a bossy temperament and will not treat you well. You will only suffer being with her. Shui Hongshao said, A girl like me will be a good wife to you. I know how to cook and I will treat my husband well. I believe that you will become the best wife in this world. But Yanyan is also a good wife and also the best wife in this world for me. I cannot let her down, Yang Dingtian spoke in a gentle voice. At this moment, footsteps echoed from outside. Shui Hongshao took a look back and spoke softly, I dont care, I like you no matter what. Since I heard your news after coming back from the Yin Yang Sect, I have been concerned for you and have missed you every day. Finishing her statement, Shui Hongshao quickly stepped forward and pouted her red lips. She pecked on Yang Dingtians lips before leaving quickly. The tender and soft feeling still lingered on his lips, however, Shui Hongshao already ran off like a little bird, leaving Yang Dingtian overwhelmed with all sorts of feelings. Li Guinong walked in and spoke to Yang Dingtian, Everything is ready. Let us depart. Yes, Martial Uncle, Yang Dingtian replied and wore his mask before walking out. Li Guinong suddenly said, Hah... My silly daughter. Yang Dingtians face blushed before he sincerely spoke, Shui Hongshao is truly the most lovable girl in this world. I will treat and protect her like my blood sister for life. Hah... Li Guinong sighed again. ************************** Three men and three mounts. Yang Dingtian didnt even have a meal and when they departed back to the Mu Clan Docks with Li Guinong and Ximen Bao. Ximen Bao was a quiet young man around the age of 25 or 26. He was the most outstanding disciple under Li Guinong. One and a half-hour later, the three of them were back at the Mu Clan Docks, the skies were already dark. Mu Liancheng led a group of men and welcomed them at the entrance. Mu Clans old and young would like to express our gratitude for Castle Master Lis kindness. Before Li Guinong could even get off the horse, Mu Liancheng had led all his clansmen and paid their respects! Im not worthy, this is nothing to worry about. Mu Clan Head shouldnt be so humble, Li Guinong quickly got off the horse and helped Mu Liancheng up. My humble home has prepared a feast. Castle Master Li, this way please. Mu Clan Head, please! Yang Dingtian had a few toasts with Li Guinong and Mu Liancheng before leaving the feast. He wanted to quickly enter the second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art and cultivate. Just as Yang Dingtian was about to close the doors of his room, there was this sudden knock from the outside. Hero Yan, do you have some time? It was Mu Lianyis voice. Mu Liancheng had yet to tell her of Yang Dingtians identity. Does Young Lady Mu have something to ask? Yang Dingtian asked. I just wish to talk of something with Hero Yan, Mu Lianyi replied. Yang Dingtian was startled, but he didnt have any idea what Mu Lianyi was going to talk about. He walked to the doors and opened it. When Mu Lianyi came in, she was still wearing her skintight clothes. Big Brother Yan, can I call you like this? Mu Lianyi asked. Sure, Yang Dingtian replied embarrassedly because Mu Lianyi was actually slightly older than him. I heard from my father that you were unwilling to take the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl and leave. You even insisted on staying and fighting with Tuoba Ye? Mu Lianyi asked. Yang Dingtian nodded. Why? Mu Lianyis beautiful eyes stared at Yang Dingtian and questioned. That is because I am unwilling to let Young Lady Mu enter a living hell, Yang Dingtian replied. Is it truly only because of this? Mu Lianyi inquired. Yang Dingtian thought for a moment before responding, Of course, there are a few other reasons. Mu Lianyis face blushed, she wanted to say something but hesitated. She rarely had this bashful expression as she was an easy-mannered girl, she was actually revealing such an expression right now. This isnt another confession right? Yang Dingtian thought in his heart. He had just rejected Shui Hongshao, and he really didnt want to provoke another girl right now. Finally, Mu Lianyi summoned all her courage and said, Big Brother Yan, Im very grateful for the fact that you are willing to die for me. But I am very sorry, my heart already belongs to someone else and cannot contain a second man. This is why... I cannot accept your goodwill and I am very sorry. Yang Dingtian was astonished for a moment before he let out a bright smile. He thought that Mu Lianyi was going to confess, but she was actually rejecting him. He let out a long breath of relief in his heart and couldnt help but force a smile on his face. So, Big Brother Yan, you better take the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl and leave. Mu Lianyi said, You dont have to participate in tomorrows martial contest as well. He will be here on time because tomorrow is the last day of our five-year promise. He will definitely arrive on time and rescue me from the clutches of the devil. I believe him! Yang Dingtian shook his head and said, I will not leave. Mu Lianyi spoke frenetically, Big Brother Yan, dont force me. I really cannot accept you. No, please dont misunderstand me. Yang Dingtian said, I wanted to tell you earlier that I actually have a wife already and I love her very much. If that man is able to hurry and defeat Tuoba Ye in time, it would be the best scenario. I will be able to stay behind and be there for your wedding feast too then. Really?! Mu Lianyi was pleasantly surprised and said, Do you really have a wife already? Then why did you come to participate in the martial contest for marriage? I am here to intervene when there is injustice, Yang Dingtian replied. Thank you, youre truly a good person. Mu Lianyi delightfully shook Yang Dingtians wrist and said, Why dont we become sworn siblings? From today onwards, you will be my real Big Brother. Yang Dingtian instantly forced out a smile again as he was immediately dealt with the friend zone card. Sure, Im glad to have a beautiful little sister like you, Yang Dingtian responded. Alright then, we will do it right now. As though Mu Lianyi was afraid that Yan Dingtian might go back on his words, she immediately knelt beside Yang Dingtian and said, From today onwards, I, Mu Lianyi will be sworn siblings with Yan Nantian. After finishing her statement, Mu Lianyis beautiful eyes looked at Yang Dingtian. She wanted to use the fastest method to set their relationship as siblings. Yang Dingtian had no choice but to kneel down and say, From today onwards, I, Yan Nantian will be sworn as siblings with Mu Lianyi... S?a?ch* Th? N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. From today onwards, we will enjoy blessings and experience suffering together... We will view each others parents like our own. We will treat each others grievances as our own. We will treat each others hatred as our own! We will be of the same mind and share the same grievances. Heaven and earth will witness it. The twins will witness it... In the Primal Chaos World, this was a very serious oath. Once sworn, they would treat each other like real siblings, perhaps even closer than blood siblings. They must follow everything stated in the oath and there must not be any pretense. After finishing the oath, Mu Lianyi looked at Yang Dingtian with eyes that were obviously much more intimate than before. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but tease, So whos the boy that is so fortunate to gain the affection of my Sister Lianyi? Which descendant of a noble clan? Or maybe a disciple from a prestigious faction? Mu Lianyi blushed and shook her head. Neither, he is only the son of a fisherman. However, he was different since we were young and would never revere me because of my status. He would never flatter me because of my looks too. He is very prideful and I have always been the one who took the initiative between the two of us. He felt that he wasnt worthy enough for me, that is why he left the clan five years ago and traveled far away. He said he was going to strive to become worthy and that when he was strong and impressive enough, he would come back and marry me. He promised me that he would be back in at most five years! Tomorrow would be the final day and I trust that he would be back. Yang Dingtian was astonished as he looked at Mu Lianyi with an additional weight of respect. He never would have expected someone of her looks and her prominent status in the southwest continent would actually like a man with such a low standing. I too believe that he will be back. What is his name? Yang Dingtian asked. He is Wu Xingwen, Mu Lianyi answered. *********************** Despite the fact that Li Guinong had sent out Ximen Bao to fight, and that Ximen Bao had already broken through the Great Mystic Martial Master. If he was able to defeat Tuoba Ye then it would be the best-case scenario, Yang Dingtian wouldnt have to participate. After all, this was a fight that he didnt even have a narrow chance to succeed. If he wasnt forced by the situation, Yang Dingtian wouldnt willingly risk his life. But what if Ximen Bao was to be defeated? Would Yang Dingtian just look on as Mu Lianchengs daughter gets thrown into living hell? How could he look on as the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl falls into the hands of the Northwest Qin Clans lackey! Hence, Yang Dingtian had to be completely prepared to risk his life in battle. Seated cross-legged on the ground, Yang Dingtian opened the scroll of the second rank of Pig Slaying Sword Art and hoped that it would give him a huge surprise. Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, he poured some mystic qi in the scroll of the Pig Slaying Sword Art. There was a narrow light that illuminated from the routes of the scroll. It then slowly extended and drew simple, unadorned and mysterious patterns. At the same moment, the entire scroll was pervading with a blurry halo. Afterward, the mountains, river, and the ocean surged forward with great momentum as they took turns to appear as sceneries on the scroll which had similar traits as the sceneries in the Primal Chaos Continent. Time flowed bit by bit while the golden routes on the scroll got more complicated and more cluttered before finally covering the entire scroll. However... everything had yet to end. Under the first layer of mysterious routes, there was a new route that appeared. It was natural that Yang Dingtian wouldnt know about this. As compared to the other manuals, the Pig Slaying Sword Art had the worlds most complicated mystic qi routes. But the second rank of the manual actually had two layers of mystic qi routes which made the entire manual completely three-dimensional. Once the second layer of the mystic qi routes were completely revealed, the entire manual released an incomparably bright radiance. Boom! All these golden mystic qi routes vigorously rushed into Yang Dingtians body and into his meridians. Concurrently, the scroll of the second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art had vanished into a puff of smoke. Yang Dingtian could only feel a flash of white light in his mind as though it was a nuclear explosion, it felt like his soul was going to scatter. Countless bits of information and energy entered his body and into his meridians. There was an infinite amount of mystic qi. Thats right, every wording in the scroll had an astounding amount of mystic qi. The higher the grade of the manual, the higher the amount of mystic qi contained within. But there was never a scroll like the Pig Slaying Sword Art which had this much of an astonishing amount of mystic qi. It seemed as though this tiny speck of light was like the vast ocean which constantly poured into his body. The originally seated Yang Dingtian was slowly floating in midair while he was thoroughly wrapped by the radiance. The current Yang Dingtians spirit felt as though it had entirely entered another world. Pig Slaying Sword Art Second Rank: Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword! First move: Inferno Sky Sword! Yang Dingtian was currently inside the infernal flames. Everything that his eyes could see was filled with a boundless blaze and limitless flames. The sky had red flames. The earth had blue flames. In the extreme flames of heaven and earth, Yang Dingtian was in the middle of it. There was only one man and one sword! It was such an imposing and immense scene that was a terrifying sight. During his time on Earth, even in movies, Yang Dingtian had never seen such stunning scenery. Right now, Yang Dingtian raised his eyes and looked around to search for that drifting immortal and absolute expert, Xuwu Piaoyan. But wherever his eyes could see, it would all be raging flames. Where could Xuwu Piaoyan be? Yang Dingtian yelled out, Senior Xuwu, did you find the Naga Race? Huff... The boundless raging flames within heaven and earth turned into an enigmatic face. It was the martial supreme Xuwu Piaoyan. Chapter 138: Sword Practice! Demonic Anomaly Tuoba Ye! Chapter 138: Sword Practice! Demonic Anomaly Tuoba Ye!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Are you the one that learned the Pig Slaying Sword Art? said Xuwu Piaoyan whose figure was formed with flames. The current him wasnt faintly visible like during the first rank. Instead, he was filled with prestige, tyranny, and it was as though he was about to explode. Yes, I am. Yang Dingtian said, Let me introduce myself again. I am Yang Dingtian. Senior Xuwu, have you found the Naga Race? No. Xuwu Piaoyan said, I had been going further west until I then reached the Far Wests Infernal Sea. Under the sea were the ruins left behind by the Naga Race. They already predicted that the world was going to be extinguished and had all left. Infernal Sea? Yang Dingtian was astonished. Two centuries ago when the Shrine of Exterminations master unified the Evil Dao, the evil army marched out from the Infernal Sea and traveled from west to east, unfolding the battle to extinguish the world. This Infernal Sea was actually the place of residence of the ancient Naga Race. Senior Xuwu, did the Naga Race left no traces at all? Yang Dingtian asked. No. When I was there, it had already been abandoned for many years. Xuwu Piaoyan said, The Naga Race are the descendants of the Divine Dragon which had already abandoned the human race. Yang Dingtian noticed that the current Xuwu Piaoyan felt that salvation was hopeless because of the disappearance of the Naga Race. His heart was filled with dull and violent qi presence. Then what are you preparing to do next? Yang Dingtian asked despite the fact that it had been more than ten thousand years since Xuwu Piaoyan had reached the Infernal Sea. Ill continue to go west, further more to the west, deeper in the west... go to the Extinct Deep Abyss. I will continue on the path of salvation, but Im not expecting anything. Xuwu Piaoyan said, Alright, enough of nonsense. Time for sword practice. For the first stage, be it the Void Nine Calamity Sword or the Pig Slaying Sword Art, these were all taking technique as the priority. As for the second stage, the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword, dont focus on the technique any more, rather it is to refine the senses, the qi, and the quality! Get ready. First sword, Inferno Sky Sword, chase after your limits! Finishing his statement, Xuwu Piaoyans figure abruptly scattered and turned into limitless flames between heaven and earth. The heaven had red flames, which burned the bones and the meridians. The earth had blue flames, which burned the mystics and the divinity. Yang Dingtian was vigorously thrown into midair. The flames from heaven and earth constantly came closer. Yang Dingtian clenched his sword tightly and tried to sense the Inferno Sky Sword. Huff... There was a flame that caught ablaze in his hand suddenly. Yang Dingtian who was still within the flames picked up his stance to practice the sword. Again and again, his sword grew faster and faster, his qi presence grew more shocking. At this moment, the flames from the heavens began to descend, while the flames from the earth began to ascend. The temperature grew hotter by the moment. The dreadful raging flames began to burn his clothes, his hair, his body, and his sword. Yang Dingtian desperately endured it and practiced this first sword move in a frenzy. However, his body grew hotter and hotter. The clothes on Yang Dingtians body began to turn into dust, which was shortly followed by his hair. Then his body started to boil and the sword in his hand grew bright red before turning into molten iron. Yang Dingtian felt that his body was melting inch by inch and his blood was starting to grow volatile while his bones were gradually turning into dust. Boom! Finally, Yang Dingtians entire body was incinerated and turned into ashes. Yang Dingtian was only left as a ball of light, this was his spirit soul that was still frenziedly making a connection with the first move, the Inferno Sky Sword in the flames. Finally, as the flames from heaven and earth were just 3,000 feet away from Yang Dingtian, his spirit which was still burning inch by inch had now completely turned into ashes. The first move, Inferno Sky Sword... Practice ended. It was unknown how long Yang Dingtian was in silence, his spirit soul started to slowly restore. The second move of the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword: Earth Seal Sword! Yang Dingtians body felt as though it was in a glacier which was ten thousand miles wide. The surface of the ground was like limitless ice while the sky was blowing with a violent snowstorm. At this moment, Xuwu Piaoyan didnt appear. In the second rank, his heart was filled with dull grey and there was no interaction nor any narration. The temperature was getting lower by the second. In this world of ice and sword, Yang Dingtian was practicing the second sword move, Earth Seal Sword! The snow was getting heavier and heavier, while the temperature was getting lower and lower! Dreadful energy froze and sealed everything. Bang! Yang Dingtians clothes froze and shattered. Bang! Yang Dingtians sword froze and shattered. Bang! Bang! Bang... Yang Dingtians blood, bones, and flesh all became frozen solid. Finally, the snow in the sky also completely froze and was unable to drop down anymore. The temperature continued to decline drastically, it was as though heat never existed, it was as if the universe was absolute zero. Bang! Yang Dingtians mystic qi and spirit soul had completely frozen before finally shattering. Despite the fact that the temperature continued to decline, to Yang Dingtian, he had already completed the sword practice in this ice sealed world. ***** After being in silence for an unknown period of time, Yang Dingtian regained consciousness again. Right now, he was at the peak of a mountain, where there was a forceful wind. Yang Dingtian entered the third move, Formless Sword! On the summit of this mountain, Yang Dingtian practiced the third sword move. His speed got faster as he practiced while the wind in this world grew stronger in response to his growth. Furthermore, every direction of the wind was going against Yang Dingtians sword trajectory, it forcefully decreased Yang Dingtian sword, until it finally came to a standstill. Yang Dingtian exerted all his strength in a frenzy, but the intensive winds were only getting increasingly violent and stronger. Yang Dingtian still continued to practice the third sword move, Formless Sword and desperately tried to resist the intense wind. His clothes were shredded, his entire bodys skin was bloodied. Afterward, his body was blown up into the sky. Yang Dingtian was still practicing the third move in a frenzy, However, his speed was getting slower until his final actions finally came to a standstill. His moves started to move in the opposite trajectory of the sword practice, all of his moves were blown in the opposite direction. But soon enough, everything stopped. This was because the winds had shredded all of Yang Dingtians flesh until only the skeleton frame was left. His entire body had been scattered by the wind. Finally, even his spirit soul had been scattered and blown away. At this moment, the giant monoliths were cracked open by the strong winds, and the entire mountain peak began to collapse. But Yang Dingtian was no longer able to see the rest of the scenery because he was turned to dust once again. ... Fourth move, Unyielding Sword! This time, Yang Dingtian had entered a world of metal, a world of gravity. Yang Dingtians body solidified inch by inch into metal while gravity only increased and it got heavier. As he was brandishing the sword, Yang Dingtians body slowly completely solidified as every inch of his body turned into indestructible metal. Afterward, gravity silently grew from a few folds, then to tens of folds, then to hundreds of folds. It was still slowly getting heavier. Finally, when gravity was at 500 folds, Yang Dingtians body finally crumbled and turned into a pastry-like substance. When gravity was at 800 folds, Yang Dingtian had been crushed into smithereens. When gravity was at 1,000 folds, Yang Dingtian spirit soul had been engulfed in the world. ... Fifth move, Prison Break Sword! This time, his body was in mid-air. Below him was a river, while above him were dark clouds. The dark clouds were only getting darker as it thickened and descended lower. Lightning struck at the world and at Yang Dingtian who was practicing his sword in mid-air. Bang! A bolt of thick lightning abruptly struck at a middle-aged man. Bang! A bolt of lightning struck and broke a tower. Bang! A bolt of lightning which was hundreds of miles long and hundreds of feet wide suddenly struck and broke a stone mountain before finally striking at Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian had been completely annihilated. Fifth move, Prison Break Sword. Practice ended! ******* The second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art had a total of five moves, Inferno Sky Sword, Earth Seal Sword, Formless Sword, Unyielding Sword, and Prison Break Sword! As the names suggested, the first move restrained fire, the second move restrained ice, the third move restrained wind, the fourth move restrained metal, and the fifth move restrained lightning! This wasnt only so; The first move prioritized on powerful energy attacks, the second move focused on extensive and unending stream of strikes, the third move emphasized on speed and the agility of the wind, the fourth move concentrated on defense and breaking defenses, and finally, the fifth move fixated on the unknown. In short, there was never a manual like the Pig Slaying Sword Art which was too profound, mysterious, and had boundless power. The first ranks extremely profound moves had already shocked Yang Dingtian, whenever he used the Pig Slaying Sword Art, he would be able to defeat opponents who were two or three classes stronger than him. However, the second ranks Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword had completely stunned Yang Dingtian. A single sword art could actually negate the lethality from the five elements. The five elements of heaven and earth mutually restrained each other. For example, the metal element was restrained by the lightning element. Whenever a metal element expert encountered a lightning element opponent, even if his mystic qi class was four or five classes superior, he still wouldnt be a match. The only way to defeat the opponent was that if he was one rank higher. But the second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art was actually able to deal with experts of all five elements. It was undoubtedly a cheat that was opened up for Yang Dingtian. In the future, no matter what kind of expert he met, he would be able to restrain them. Furthermore, the Pig Slaying Sword Art had a very terrifying specialty which was to use the sword moves without any stances while being able to combine and link all the moves. Once he practiced to the highest level, any move could be used to restrain an expert of any element. Of course, this great cheat was still not very beneficial for Yang Dingtian now, this was because the enemies that he would face were still in the Yin Yang Stage. Before the Great Mystic Martial Master, all the martial artists were unable to learn mystic skills, hence, their mystic qi elements were only split into yin or yang. If it wasnt ice, then it would be fire. Moreover, in the northwest continent, it was completely a world of fire. When the Great Mystic Martial Masters started to learn mystic skills, they would be able to transmute the yin yang element into the five elements. By then, it wouldnt only be ice and fire, there would be wind, metal, and even lightning element experts. Compared to the first rank, the second ranks Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword had a huge difference. S?a?ch* Th? N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The first rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art had a total of nine moves. Yang Dingtian had practiced tens of thousands of times and had completely mastered it. He then collected the five element demonic cores to conduct the Yin Yang Five Element Array, afterward, Yang Dingtians mystic qi instantly broke through by 19 classes. Afterward, the Pig Slaying Sword Art had completely ended its prowess in terms of mystic qi. Which meant to say that, by relying on the Pig Slaying Sword Art, it was hard to make any progress in mystic qi. But for the second rank, the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword, every move was split into a few levels. Like the first move, Inferno Sky Sword. The distance between the heaven flames and the earth flames were getting closer, but when it was 3,000 feet away from each other, Yang Dingtian had already turned into ashes. For the second move, when the temperature was still declining, and the snowstorm was frozen, Yang Dingtian had already shattered. During the third move, when the mountains were crumbling from the strong winds, Yang Dingtian had already been turned into fine dust. At the fourth move, when gravity reached a thousand folds, Yang Dingtian had already been crushed into smithereens. As for the fifth move, Yang Dingtian was annihilated when the extremely thick lightning struck at him. Without a doubt, these five different states were all at the first level. Then there must be a second, third, fourth, and perhaps a fifth level! Right now, he felt suspense. Since the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword was already at the first level, how much mystic qi breakthrough would it provide him? For any other manuals, when learning the first rank, there would be a breakthrough for the mystic qi. However, for the second rank, the breakthrough would only be minuscule, it would usually wouldnt even be half a class. But what about this profound and mysterious Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword? Would it be an exception? ... For the entire night, Yang Dingtian had been shut in the room, the door was never opened. Various strange glows appeared from inside which looked gorgeous and mysterious. However, no one saw this scene. Mu Liancheng had given the orders that no one was to go near the courtyard that Yang Dingtian was in. *********** On the next day, the sun had risen. All of the members of the Mu Clan Docks had gathered around the martial contest stage. In the middle were two chairs, this was where Li Guinong and Mu Liancheng were seated. The athletically sexy Mu Lianyi was standing behind Mu Liancheng, while the silent and muscular Ximen Bao stood behind Li Guinong. The housekeeper walked up onto the stage and yelled out, We shall begin the last day of the martial contest for marriage. The final victor will become the husband of the Mu Clans Young Lady, Mu Lianyi. As of yesterday, the final victor was Hero Yan Nantian. Is there anyone who is willing to take up the challenge? There was complete silence under the stage! This martial contest was meant to target Tuoba Ye, if he didnt appear, then no one else was going to enter the stage. Light the incense! The housekeeper gave the orders. A giant incense was then placed on a small table and slowly began to burn. This incense was two meters long and could burn for four hours. When the time was at mid-day, it would be the official conclusion of the martial contest for marriage. After seeing the lit-up incense, everyone held their breaths as they waited for Tuoba Ye to arrive. One minute... Five minutes... Ten minutes... Thirty minutes... One hour... Tuoba Ye still didnt appear yet. Mu Liancheng exchanged looks with Li Guinong, both of them thinking why hasnt arrived yet. Of course, they definitely didnt wish for Tuoba Ye to come. If this was the case, then it would be the best-case scenario. However, they knew that Tuoba Ye was definitely going to come as he wasnt going to give up on the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl and Mu Lianyi who was a fresh and hot beauty. Tuoba Ye was a completely perverted devil and would die just to have a bite at such a beauty like Mu Lianyi. Two hours... Three hours... Tuoba Ye still had yet to arrive! The entire contest stage found it hard to continue keeping silent as they started their discussions. They were saying that the Raging Flames Castle was afraid of Li Guinong, hence they didnt dare to appear. However, Mu Lianchengs expression only grew with unease. Mu Lianyi also had a tensed up expression as she repeatedly glanced towards the gates. Of course, she wasnt waiting for Tuoba Ye. She was waiting for Wu Xingwen instead. He promised her that he would definitely appear five years later to marry her and today was the last day. During these five years, Mu Lianyi had been yearning for him every day. She was able to support herself because of this five-year promise. If Wu Xingwen didnt appear, then she would truly fall into despair that was even worse than marrying a beast like Tuoba Ye. There was still an hour left, right now the sun was blazing hot. Hahahaha! Suddenly, there was loud laughter that came from the sky. No one knew where it came from, it felt as though it came from every direction. Is everyone urging and waiting for me to appear? Is the beauty having such a mournful look because she is waiting for me to do her? My bad. My bad. I spent a little longer to dress myself up. Today is the first time meeting my father-in-law and I have to do it a bit more properly. This was Tuoba Yes voice, it carried a bewitching tone. Bang! A snow-white figure burst out from a lake not far from here. He was dressed in white clothes which were even whiter than snow, it didnt have a speck of dust on it. Afterward, the figure drifted over a few hundred meters before finally landing on the contest stage, it was as though he didnt have any weight. Tuoba Ye had appeared! He was very handsome, however, he made people shiver at the mere sight of him. His brows and lashes were drawn and there was this obvious dust of powder on his cheeks. He even had bright red rouge applied on his thin lips. His earlobes had earrings hanging on it. When they saw Tuoba Yes face, everyone instantly recalled the rumors about him. Every part of this person was oozing with evil qi presence. Moreover, he was extremely fond of killing. All of the women who fell into his hands would seek survival, but wouldnt be able to obtain it no matter how hard they tried. It didnt matter how beautiful a woman was, they would die before a full month. Hence, within these thousand miles area, no one was comparable to him in terms of notoriety and viciousness. Chapter 139: Killing Tuoba Ye (Part 1) Chapter 139: Killing Tuoba Ye (Part 1)Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales After coming onto the stage, Tuoba Ye used his bewitching eyes to sweep across the people before finally landing on Mu Lianyis delicate body. Mu Lianyi shivered as her beautiful eyes showed a hint of fear. Tuoba Yes eyes were too murderous, and it felt as though as if it were going to peel someones skin alive. These eyes werent just evil; they were bloodthirsty, brutally bloodthirsty. It felt as though he was going to pounce over and use his sharp teeth to tear his victim apart. Mu Clan Head, will the final victor of this martial contest for marriage be able to marry your delicate daughter? Tuoba Ye asked. Mu Liancheng replied with a gloomy expression, Of course. Tuoba Ye continued asking, Then would the pearl be given as a dowry as well? Mu Lianchengs expression changed and said, Of course! Tuoba Ye laughed and said, Alright, then would Castle Master Li Guinong be the witness? If I am the final victor and if Mu Lianyi isnt married to me, and the pearl isnt given to me, then I will slaughter the entire Mu Clan, leaving nothing behind! He instantly flashed a look at Li Guinong. Alright, I will be the witness. Li Guinong then said slowly, But you also have to take the oath. If you are to lose the martial contest, you will never put a finger on anything that belongs to the Mu Clan. Be it Mu Lianyi or Mu Clans treasure pearl. Swear upon the twin moons, twin suns, and the Primal Chaos Continent. Tuoba Ye raised his hand and said, With the twin moons and twin suns up above, with the Primal Chaos Continent down below. If I am to fail in this martial contest, I will never put a finger on Mu Lianyi and the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. If I go against this vow, all the Tuoba clansmen of the Raging Flames Castle will face extinction and never to be reincarnated for eternity! Once this vow was out, everyone instantly changed their expressions. This was considered the most vicious vow. Immediately after, Tuoba Ye spoke to Mu Liancheng, Mu Clan Head, it is your turn. Mu Lianchengs expression changed. He gritted his teeth and said, With the twin moons and twin suns up above, with the Primal Chaos Continent down below, if Tuoba Ye obtains victory in this martial contest for marriage, I will marry Mu Lianyi to him and give the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl as the dowry. If I go against this vow, my Mu Clan will face extinction and be cut off from all offsprings. This vow was also very vicious. Tuoba Ye let out a lewd and evil smile and said, Then, ask Yan Nantian to come on the stage? Right now, Yang Dingtian was still shut inside the small courtyard. Li Guinong looked behind and spoke to Ximen Bao indifferently, You go. Yes! Ximen Bao replied. Afterward, he had a half squat and launched off the ground like a cannonball, crashing onto the contest stage. There was a loud echo, while the entire stage was shaking. Your opponent is me, Ximen Bao spoke in a cold voice. He didnt have a prominent figure, but he still looked competent. Tuoba Ye had this slight change in expression. When Ximen Bao abruptly jumped onto the stage, he had a ferocious qi presence. In terms of mystic qi, he might not lose out to Tuoba Ye. What about Yan Nantian? Tuoba Ye asked in a cold voice. Ask after you win against me, Ximen Bao replied. Alright, I feel that Yan Nantian is very weak, and it would be a one-sided fight. It is much better to have an evenly matched opponent, Tuoba Ye sneered. The housekeeper came up and said, Please sign the life and death indemnity! Tuoba Ye and Ximen Bao both walked over to sign the life and death indemnity. Everyones expression instantly turned even more grave. It was apparent that such a vicious person like Tuoba Ye wouldnt stop until he killed his opponent. On the martial stage, weapons have no eyes; life and death are up to heaven, murdering would be not guilty! The housekeeper announced the life and death indemnity before banging on the golden gong and yelled, Let the fight begin! ******************* Zha! Ximen Bao burst out with a yell and brandished the giant Buddhist scepter, swinging it at Tuoba Ye. There was a loud bang, followed by a burst of flames. Ximen Baos attack was truly ferocious! Furthermore, the Wooden Sword Castle specialized in the sword, and Li Guinong also used a sword, but no one expected his most outstanding disciple to be using a Buddhist scepter. Tuoba Yes sharp sword was tilted horizontally! It was used to forcefully block the flames that burst out from the Buddhist scepter. Bang! There was a loud sound, as Tuoba Ye was pushed several meters back while his sword was instantly burned into red hot iron! Incredible! Everyone exclaimed. This wasnt merely praise of Ximen Bao; they were also gasping that Tuoba Yes strength too. He, who was a treacherous person, was actually able to receive such a ferocious blow from Ximen Bao! After Ximen Bao executed the first strike, his body flashed as he brandished the Buddhist scepter and rained a storm of attacks at Tuoba Ye. Each attack was more ferocious and faster than the previous attack! For an instant, the entire contest stage only had one Ximen Bao, the Buddhist scepter in his hands turned into a few tens and followed by hundreds. Finally, it became like a steel wall that was pressed down at Tuoba Ye. It was originally a black Buddhist scepter, but it gradually turned red and was finally bright red after being burned by the mystic qi. Tuoba Ye was totally forced to the corner of the stage, but he was using his agility to evade the attacks. This Ximen Baos attacks were truly too ferocious, and he was like a toppling mountain and overturning sea, which no one would dare to face head-on. Mu Liancheng immediately looked at Li Guinong with eyes of admiration! Faction Head Li, in less than two years, Nephew Ximen would be able to take on the heavy responsibilities of the Wooden Sword Castle and revitalize it. Mu Liancheng said, The most incredible thing is that he could use the scepter as a sword. Faction Head Li is truly a pedant genius. (TL note: I used Faction Head instead of Castle Master as Wooden Sword Castle is one of the Twenty Seven Factions) From the current situation of the battle, Ximen Bao was at a complete advantage. His ferocious scepter has already forced Tuoba Ye to the corner of the stage, and there was no more space to retreat anymore. Toppling Mountains Overturning Sea! Ximen Bao roared out, while this scepter swept across horizontally. Boom! The fiery red scepter blasted out a giant firewall, which was hundreds of feet in height as it pressed towards Tuoba Ye. Tuoba Ye tipped off the ground and swiftly jumped up more than a few dozen meters and avoided the firewall. Star Burst! Ximen Bao shot up into the sky like a cannonball while using the scepter to thrust at Tuoba Ye violently. Thump Thump Thump Thump... The countless fiery red lights were shot out, which all exploded on Tuoba Yes body! Tuoba Yes body shifted horizontally, as he traversed and evaded the mystic qi explosions. He threaded like a needle, which looked very thrilling! Upheaving the Sky and Earth! Ximen Bao let out a thunderous roar while the scepter vigorously shot out a flaming light, which was several feet long. It then spun around violently! In an instant, the entire stage was engulfed in flames, forming a terrifying mystic qi whirlpool that was violently cutting up the air. Everyone was holding their breaths and looked at everything with shock. Mu Liancheng couldnt help but exclaim, Nephew Ximen is extremely powerful. Even if he had to fight an expert three or four classes above them, they would still have to evade his attacks! At this moment, Tuoba Ye was just like a small wooden boat on raging waves. He was floating in this storm and might be ripped into pieces at any time! Kill him, kill him! Everyone from the Mu Clan Docks was all burning up with passion as they were watching and cheered out loudly. Rip this lewd bastard into pieces! The current Mu Lianyi was looking with the eyes of splendor. This Senior Ximen Bao was truly much stronger than Yan Nantian. She admired him from the heart at the sight of his ferocity. Haha, you have finished performing, right? It is my turn now, Tuoba Ye, who was still floating in the stormy waves, suddenly sneered. Shooting Star Butterfly Sword! There was a loud and clear shout! Tuoba Yes figure suddenly turned into a white light, while he dove into the scepters red killing light whirlpool like a shooting star. With the man and sword combined, he thrust at Ximen Baos head. His speed was extremely fast and was comparable to lightning his sharp sword thrust on the top of Ximen Baos head. With the sudden change in the situation, everyone gasped! Blood Devil Golden Dipper! Ximen Bao yelled out, while mystic qi, which was mixed with blood mist, burst out from his body. His clothes exploded into pieces, while his hair all burst out. The blood mist and mystic qi formed this protection that covered the entire body. A layer of golden blood-red light now enveloped his whole body. The Blood Devil Golden Dipper was a formidable protection mystic skill that turned the mystic qi and blood into energy protection. It could allow the practitioner to have a body that was impervious to weapons. Suddenly, Tuoba Yes sharp was unable to make its way in, while his body was upside down in midair. This Blood Devil Golden Dipper was truly formidable and truly indestructible. After blocking Tuoba Yes attack, Ximen Bao used both his hands to swing the scepter. Swish... The fiery red scepter was suddenly blasted at Tuoba Ye. Hahaha... Tuoba Ye let out loud laughter, while his sharp sword shook a little. The tip of his sword emitted a ball of black light all of a sudden. Swish... Immediately after, this black light thrust through the Blood Devil Golden Dipper and at Ximen Baos head. The formidable Blood Devil Golden Dipper was actually penetrated! Ximen Bao was astonished as he clenched his fist and swiftly shot out powerful mystic qi, propelling his body back several meters like a cannonball, allowing him to evade Tuoba Yes sharp sword. Concurrently, the fiery red scepter was thrust at Tuoba Yes body. Tuoba Ye twisted his wrist while his sleeves rolled up! There was a mystic qi whirlpool that appeared at his arms, and the whirlpool actually engulfed this violent scepter. Tuoba Yes sleeve actually caught such a ferocious scepter hold! Li Guinong had a sudden change in his expression! He never expected Tuoba Ye to be so proficient in his wind element martial skill. This Taichi Whirlpool was obviously using the opponents force to his own benefit, allowing him to catch the powerful scepter easily. Huff... In the Taichi Whirlpool, the scepter was spinning faster and faster. Swish... When the whirlpool was at the fastest speed, it was sent back to Ximen Bao with a burst of additional speed. Halt! Ximen Bao yelled out and pressed his hands together, using a powerful mystic qi to stop the scepter. Rainstorm Devil Flower Sword! Tuoba Ye yelled out clearly, while his figure instantly split into multiple figures. There were countless sharps swords and sword lights. Just like a rainstorm, he rained down on Ximen Bao. Protect! Ximen Bao swiftly swirled the scepter and blocked the countless swords from Tuoba Ye. Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang... There were countless swords flowers which struck on the scepter, emitting blue light, as though blossoming flower-shaped flames, which was breathtaking and splendid. Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish... This Ximen Bao was truly incredible. With the scepter back in his hands, he actually blocked all of Tuoba Yes sword flowers. S~?a??h the ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Tens of swords. Hundreds of swords. Thousands of swords! All of them were blocked. Haha. Alright, I shall stop playing. Tuoba Ye suddenly laughed heartily and said, You can die now. Soul Break Devil Sword, first form, Rapture Half-Moon Slash! Die... With a ruthless yell, Tuoba Ye arched his body and violently slashed with the sharp sword. In an instant, Tuoba Yes hand burst out with dazzling light, forming a giant half-moon sword light, which shot out. Block! Ximen Bao held onto the scepter and blocked with all his effort. Bang! The extremely tough scepter was severed, while the half-moon sword light struck Ximen Baos chest. A fresh red scar burst out on Ximen Baos chest, while a blood mist sprayed out violently. Ximen Baos muscular body flew almost a hundred meters like rice straw. In midair, his chest suddenly appeared with a giant wound, while fresh blood gushed out like the fountain. Bao Zi! Li Guinong exclaimed as he rose into the air and caught hold of the bleeding Ximen Bao. He quickly fed Ximen Bao an elixir and stopped the bleeding artery on his chest. (TL note: The Zi in Bao Zi is like a Bao son/Bao child, so it is a more intimate way of addressing a disciple or a child) Everyone present went silent as they were appalled by this scene! This Tuoba Ye was actually so horrifyingly powerful. In the beginning, everyone saw that he was frantically evading, but in fact, he was taking a leisure stroll. His final mystic skill had instantly defeated Ximen Bao. Ximen Bao, who had broken through to the Great Mystic Martial Master, was already very formidable. But in the face of Tuoba Yes mystic skill, Soul Break Devil Sword, he was instantly defeated by the first move! ********************** Are there any more challengers? Tuoba Ye spoke in a cold voice as he looked at the burning incense. There were less than two inches of it that had not been burned yet, which was around 10 minutes. Is there anyone else? Tuoba Ye asked again. No one responded. His viciousness terrified everyone. The current Mu Lianyi was still looking at the entrance with sentimental eyes. Xingwen, why arent you here yet? You made the promise that you will be back to marry me in five years at most. Today is already the last day. Have you forgotten? If you arent arriving soon, I am going to die! Time passed minute by minute, while that incense burned, bit by bit. The paramour that Mu Lianyi anxiously waited had not arrived yet, and the end of the martial contest was about to end soon. When that incense was only left with one inch, Mu Lianyi was in despair, and her beautiful face had turned dull. Hahahahaha... Tuoba Ye laughed with insolence and said, Mu Clan Head, you can prepare for the wedding now. I am going into the bridal room with your daughter tonight. Also, make sure to prepare the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. Every single member of the Mu Clan Docks had a dull expression as they saw how Tuoba Ye behaved brazenly. Yan Nantian? You coward! Where did you go to? Do you dare to come out for a fight? Time is about to run out soon, Tuoba Ye shouted. Yan Nantian, you woman and the pearl are going to belong to me. Dont worry; I will treat Mu Lianyi well and make sure she would beg for life and death but wouldnt receive either! Once this statement was out, everyones expression changed. Yan Nantian, do you dare to come out and fight? Tuoba Ye was still yelling. Mu Lianyi was first looking at the entrance, she then finally looked at the courtyard where Yang Dingtian was. Chapter 140: Killing Tuoba Ye (Part 2) Chapter 140: Killing Tuoba Ye (Part 2)Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Wu Xingwen didnt come; Yang Dingtians door was still shut. Mu Lianyi clenched her teeth and said, Let me do it. I will fight you! Finishing her statement, Mu Lianyi leaped up the stage. Everyone was shocked, Tuoba Ye had this change in expression as he said, You? What? Cant I? Mu Lianyi spoke in a cold voice, In a martial contest for marriage, not only must you defeat your rivals, but you must also pass my test. Sure. Tuoba Ye laughed and said, But you are just a five-star Mystic Martial Warrior. Compared to Ximen Bao, you are significantly weaker. Can you even block a single move from me? I cant. Mu Lianyi said, But as long as I die, I wont have to marry you, and the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl will not have to be given to you. Tuoba Yes expression changed. Everyones expressions looked stunned. No, my daughter. Mu Liancheng exclaimed and spoke to Tuoba Ye, Take the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. Can you let go of my daughter? No way. Tuoba Ye spoke coldly, I want the pearl, I want the woman even more. No woman could escape once I target them. Mu Lianyi sneered and said, You will not get the woman or the pearl. As Mu Lianyi finished talking, she abruptly drew her longsword! Tuoba Ye spoke in a cold voice, You want to die? Not so easy. Do you think you will free yourself after you die? No, no, no, even if you die, I will let you suffer utter humiliation. Mu Lianyis delicate body shuddered as she revealed an appalled expression. This Tuoba Ye was actually so sick and ruthless. Then, I will just die without a corpse and shatter into pieces! Mu Lianyi let out a grim yell and circulated her mystic qi before suddenly rushing at Tuoba Ye. Xingwen. Goodbye! Mu Lianyis delicate body flew towards Tuoba Ye like a moth towards the fire. At the moment she made contact, she would explode her qi vessel and blast herself into smithereens. Even if she died, she didnt want to suffer any humiliation and didnt want to fall into the hands of this evil devil. No! Mu Liancheng cry out in alarm and jumped into the air. Bang... There was a loud noise! Yang Dingtians courtyard had a loud bang, while the roof instantly shattered. There was a giant hole where Yang Dingtian shot out and landed on the stage, in between Tuoba Ye and Mu Lianyi! Tuoba Ye, your opponent is me, Yang Dingtian stared at Tuoba Ye and spoke in a cold voice! Immediately after, he turned to look at the stunned Mu Lianyi and smiled. You are at the prime of your life. How can you bear to let it return to zero? Finishing his statement, Yang Dingtian immediately pushed Mu Lianyi off the stage! Tuoba Ye, your opponent is me. There is still time before the end of the contest, right? Tuoba Ye looked at Yang Dingtian and laughed heartily. You must have lost your mind over lust. You would throw your life away for a beauty. Since you are here to claim your death, why would I reject you? I will now display the art of killing for everyone! As he finished speaking his final words, Tuoba Yes eyes already had this icy cold cruelty! Mu Liancheng was about to go crazy at this moment as he yelled out, Yan Nantian, you get down! We admit defeat! Li Guinong had placed Ximen Bao down and shouted, Yan Nantian, you are not a match for him. Get down! Yang Dingtian spoke coldly, Since I am on stage, I cannot go down any more! Tuoba Ye, you cannot take the beauty nor the pearl. Tuoba Ye flashed his sharp sword while bursting with ruthless and terrifying killing qi. He pointed at Yang Dingtian and spoke while laughing, I still lack a urinal pot. You skull looks nice, lend it to me. ************** The Pig Slaying Sword Arts first rank allowed Yang Dingtian to breakthrough 19 classes with the assistance of the Five Elements Yin Yang Formation. Then what about the second rank? Of all the martial skills in the world, when advancing to the second rank, there was hardly any breakthrough. But it was possible for the Pig Slaying Sword Art because it was unrivaled. After 12 hours of cultivation, the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword allowed Yang Dingtian to break through again, by two classes. Yang Dingtian advanced from three-star Mystic Martial Warrior to five-star Mystic Martial Warrior. These two classes were like defying heaven! But it was far from enough! Tuoba Ye had defeated Ximen Bao, who was a powerful one-star Great Martial Mystic Master, and in a way where he couldnt even resist as Tuoba Ye instantly defeated him in a single move. Five-star Mystic Martial Warrior was 16 classes lower than Ximen Bao and even lower than Tuoba Ye. The was a gap of more than ten classes and two ranks. In the few thousand years of history, there was never a case of victory or even a case of survival. There was only one result, instant death! Thats right, instant death! There wouldnt be any resistance! Hence, Li Guinong and Mu Liancheng thought that Yang Dingtian had gone crazy. They thought that he wanted to throw his life away just to save Mu Lianyi and the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. ************* Big Brother Yan. You come down. We will admit defeat! Mu Lianyi yelled at Yang Dingtian. Too late. Tuoba Ye said coldly, Yan Nantian killed my substitute. He must die and in the most miserable way. Tuoba Ye. Shall we change the method for fighting? Yang Dingtian suddenly asked. No other methods can save your life, Tuoba Ye replied. Thats right. This match was even more insane than the one with Qin Shaobai. The duel with Qin Shaobai only had a difference of one rank, but todays fight had a difference of two ranks. Furthermore, during the fight with Qin Shaobai, Yang Dingtian used the sword soul, but today he didnt have it. Everyone held their breaths and waited to see what method did Yang Dingtian want to fight in. Yang Dingtian laughed and said, When you were fighting with Senior Ximen, you only used the first form. It is such a pity not to be able to execute the second and third forms. That is your true trump, right? Thats right. The second form is a few folds stronger than the first form, and the third form is another few folds stronger than the second form. Tuoba Ye spoke in a cold voice, An opponent like Ximen Bao isnt qualified for me to execute the second form. Yang Dingtian said, I want to try your latter two forms of your Soul Break Devil Sword. I want to see exactly how incredible it is. Once this statement was out, everyone gasped with surprise. Yang Dingtian was mad! He was absolutely mad! Ximen Bao, who was so formidable, was already instantly defeated by Tuoba Yes Soul Break Devil Swords first form. Did Yang Dingtian think that he wasnt going to die in a more direct method? He actually wanted to try the second and third form of the Soul Break Devil Sword? This was utter madness. Yan Nantian, you are mad. Get down quickly! Mu Liancheng yelled out frantically. Too late! Tuoba Ye interrupted and replied to Yang Dingtian, Alright, I will let you have a taste of it. No way, the martial contest is canceled! Mu Liancheng shouted and leaped onto the stage, wanting to pull Yang Dingtian away. Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish... All of a sudden, over a dozen shadows, shot out from the lake. They then landed all around the contest stage. These people were all wrapped in black cloaks, and every one of them was above the Great Mystic Martial Master rank. They were all the elders of the Raging Flames Castle. Shoosh! Immediately after, a fiery red arrow banner was shot into the sky. There was the sound of horseshoes galloping from a distance. A black army that had a few hundred soldiers came from all directions and surrounded the entire Mu Clans Docks, getting ready to kill their way in at any moment. Tuoba Ye looked at Mu Liancheng and spoke in a cold voice, If anyone dares to ruin the contest today, I will exterminate the entire Mu Clans Docks! Yang Dingtian turned around and spoke to Mu Liancheng, Uncle Mu, let me try. Trust me! No! Mu Liancheng responded decisively. Yang Dingtian let out this stern face and spoke slowly, Back down. This is an order! Mu Liancheng drew the sharp sword and put it across his neck. It was apparent that he was going to kill himself if Yang Dingtian didnt withdraw from the fight. Yang Dingtian looked at Mu Liancheng and asked, Uncle Mu, do you trust City Lord Ximen? Mu Liancheng nodded. Of course, he trusted Ximen Wuya, in his heart, Ximen Wuya was an existence like heaven, an omnipotent individual. Then you should believe me too, Yang Dingtian said. Mu Liancheng was startled. Back down, Yang Dingtian spoke unhurriedly. Mu Liancheng went silent for a moment and put down his sword. He spoke in a resolute tone, No matter the case, remember this. The moment you die will be the moment when all the Mu clansmen die. Afterward, Mu Liancheng backed down from the stage. ************* After Mu Liancheng backed down, Yang Dingtian looked towards Tuoba Ye and asked, If I can withstand the latter two forms of your mystic skills, what will you do? Haha, in your dreams! Tuoba Ye laughed and said, You will be crushed into pieces with the second form! What if? I am making an assumption, Yang Dingtian smiled. Tuoba Ye smiled and said, If you can block the final two of my mystic skills, it will be your win today. How about it? Mu Lianyi and the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl will be yours. Deal, Yang Dingtian responded. Deal. Tuoba Ye said, I swear upon the twin suns, twin moons, and the Primal Chaos Continent. Good! Yang Dingtian spoke loudly, If I survive after taking down both your mystic skills, todays contest will be my victory. Then, lets begin! Lets fight! ********** Tuoba Yes first mystic skill had instantly defeated the one-star Great Mystic Martial Master, Ximen Bao. Yang Dingtian slowly raised the sharp sword and waited to receive Tuoba Yes second mystic skill. Soul Break Devil Sword, second form. Mountain Splitting Violent Sword! Die... With a roar, Tuoba Yes sharp sword brandished frenziedly. Countless white sword lights shot up into the sky. It was slowly condensed several meters up in the air. Finally, it condensed into a giant light sword, which was over a dozen feet in length. It then slashed down on Yang Dingtians head. It was swift and powerful. It was emitting a thunderous sound when in midair. Compared to this giant light sword, Yang Dingtian looked prominently smaller. As expected, the second form of the Soul Break Devil Sword was much more horrific than the first form. Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword, second move, Formless Sword! Yang Dingtians body was entirely like a soft shadow that tactfully shuttled in midair. It was extremely nimble and effective. Huff Huff Huff... That light sword instantly slashed down. But Yang Dingtians Formless Sword evaded it like wind, as he accurately, routed around every inch of the light swords killing glow. Thats right, this mystic skill burst out a very powerful light sword, which was entirely made up of the mystic qi. So it was also filled with both void and real mystic qi, as every inch of the killing blow couldnt be filled with fatal power. It felt as though the Formless Sword was able to sense the sword lights energy in advance and allowed Yang Dingtian to use the fastest speed and most accurate angle to evade the attack, producing a breathtaking scene as a result. Yang Dingtian was like an incomparably nimble kite, which gracefully swayed in midair. It felt as though he was going with the flow and dancing on the edge of the knife. It was as though his body didnt have any bones, as though his body didnt have any weight. This was the Pig Slaying Sword Art. There was no fixed sword move, and it didnt emphasize the form. It emphasized on the mystic qis senses, and flow while disregarding the superficial sword moves. s?a??h th? n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Everyone was stunned, Mu Lianyi, Mu Liancheng, even Li Guinong was stupefied. After Mu Liancheng backed down from the stage, he didnt think that Yang Dingtian had any chance of blocking against Tuoba Yes Soul Break Devil Sword. He had the thought of immediately committing suicide after Yang Dingtian was killed. Li Guinong might have known of Yang Dingtians astounding innate talents, but he never expected for Yang Dingtian to be able to withstand Tuoba Yes Soul Break Devil Sword. Yang Digntian was just a Mystic Martial Warrior, after all. Mu Lianyi was genuinely amazed by Yang Dingtian. Even Ximen Bao was instantly defeated in a single move, but Yang Dingtian was still unscathed when facing such a lethal kill move. Boom Boom Boom Boom... That wind sword got faster and faster as it hacked and chopped at everything in the surrounding. Trees were turned into dust. Giant stone pillars were smashed into pieces. Brick houses were crushed into smithereens. Sparks burst forth; dust rushed into the sky! The Mountain Splitting Violent Sword had entered the most brutal state and possessed terrifying lethal power. In an instance, Yang Dingtian was completely covered in dust. Pfff... Suddenly, there was this sword-shaped blood that burst out. Haha... Tuoba Ye laughed loudly, Kid, even though your performance had frightened me, you ultimately still died under my sword. Boom... The wind shadow sword finally cleaved onto the stage. There was a giant echo, while the center of the contest stage was split apart. Gradually, the dust settled and cleared out. Everyone was shocked to see that Yang Dingtian was still standing in the center and was unscathed. Huff... Yang Dingtian let out a long breath. A strand of hair fell from above his forehead. When he was inside the violent massacre of the wind shadow sword, his speed wasnt fast enough, and a strand of his hair was shaved off by the sword light condensed by the mystic qi. Impossible? Tuoba Ye exclaimed, Why arent you dead? How is this possible? Everyone looked at Yang Dingtian with disbelief, as they thought he was undoubtedly dead, but he was ultimately unscathed. Tuoba Yes expression instantly turned extremely unpleasant. He had mentioned that he was going to kill Yang Dingtian in two moves. But the first move was over, and Yang Dingtian didnt die. If Yang Dingtian were able to survive the next move, then Tuoba Ye would have utterly failed. Hence, for the third move, Tuoba Ye had to use all his strength and put down Yang Dingtian. Tuoba Yes had this grave expression as he spoke to Yang Dingtian, You have bizarre maneuvers. You might have dodged my second move, but I would like to see how you are going to dodge my third move? Violent Rainstorm Sword! Tuoba Ye roared out. As Tuoba Ye leaped up, the sword in his hair turned into a ball of chilling glow and violently danced in midair. This was the third form of his mystic skill. Tuoba Ye had put in all his strength, and the power was several folds stronger than the move before. He wanted to dismember Yang Dingtian into thousands of pieces. Chapter 141: Killing Tuoba Ye (Part 3) Chapter 141: Killing Tuoba Ye (Part 3)Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales The sky instantly turned dark, and it was covered in Tuoba Yes sword lights, which were like a sky full of stars. Every second, Tuoba Ye would swing dozens of mystic qi sword lights upwards, and it would suspend in the air. Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish... Tuoba Ye would constantly brandish his longsword. There were so many sword lights suspended above Yang Dingtians head that they were shivering, but still didnt fall. The sword lights continued to increase, from tens to hundreds and finally to a thousand! Everyones expression turned! To kill Yang Dingtian, Tuoba Ye had truly gone all-out and summoned such a terrifying number of mystic qi sword lights. This Violent Rainstorm Sword could be adjusted according to the practitioner, and it could be executed with dozens to a hundred sword lights. Generally, when killing the enemies, a few hundred was considered plenty, and it was already enough to kill a few dozen people. But to kill Yang Dingtian, Tuoba Ye actually used all the mystic qi in his body to produce a thousand mystic qi sword lights! After finishing the preparation, there were a thousand mystic qi sword lights suspended above Yang Dingtians head. They were all emitting chilling white light that was equally beautiful and horrific! The entire sky was covered in sword lights, and there was nowhere to hide. Tuoba Ye took a few dozen steps back as he looked pale and bloodless. Kid. This time lets see how you dodge it. Time to die, time for you to be annihilated! Tuoba Ye let out a sinister and angered roar as he cleaved the air with his sharp sword. It appears all the mystic qi sword lights received their orders and rained down like a tempest. Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish... As the countless white sword lights rained down, it was like a concentrated meteor shower, which all violently crashed towards Yang Dingtian. The sky was covered in a patch of snow-white! Many couldnt bear to see it. If Yang Dingtian were to be hit by one of these swords, then he would lose half his life, and it was needless to say that he would die if two of them hit him. And right now, a thousand swords were thrusting down towards his head. There was truly nowhere to hide and nowhere to dodge. Every inch of space was filled with mystic qi sword lights, every inch of space was filled with lethal killing intent. Everyone was waiting for Yang Dingtian to execute another breathtaking move. But unexpectedly, Yang Dingtian actually stood still. He burst out with a roar and arched his body with his head down and backs up, welcoming the rain of swords. Had, had he gone insane? Was he actually going to use his body to resist a thousand mystic qi sword lights forcefully? Was he trying to die without a corpse or be smashed into smithereens? Thats right; Yang Dingtian was mad. He didnt have any certainty by doing this, and he was just his bet. He was betting that he could survive it. He wagered that his Nine Yang Mystic Meridian was able to withstand it because the raining sword lights were all made of mystic qi and not real swords! The mystic qi took priority in attacking the mystic meridians and the qi vessel before the physical body. But if he lost this bet, he would be crushed. But right now, he could only do this! Swish... A thousand sword lights had gathered into a giant snow-white light, which blasted down at Yang Dingtians back, at his body. Most of the people present there instantly closed their eyes as they couldnt help it! Yang Dingtian, who was arching his back now, might look shorter than normal, but it gave off a kind of illusion. As though it wasnt a human standing there, but a mountain! Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish... The countless sword lights all shot at Yang Dingtians body violently. Most of the sword lights would land on his back, while the rest would thrust at his head, legs, arms, every corner of his body would suffer the barrage of mystic qi attacks. Pfff Pfff Pfff Pfff... Yang Dingtians clothes were turned into dust. Yang Dingtians hair was turned into dust. There was an endless burst of blood mist! Suddenly, the blood mist would envelop Yang Dingtians entire body! Everyone was speechless and stunned to witness everything! Bang Bang Bang... The rest of the sword lights would penetrate the ground and give rise to the dust. The solid ground would be left with deep cracks. The entire surface of the ground was instantly covered in cracks and pits. The rain of swords had ended! The place where Yang Dingtian stood was covered in blood mist, and he was nowhere to be seen! Haha, you are still dead in the end! Tuoba Ye laughed hysterically. Everyone had this mournful look. Yes, Yang Dingtian was definitely dead. Mu Liancheng was in despair as he placed his sword horizontally on his neck and muttered to himself, Young Lord, this old servant will follow along with you. Finishing his declaration, Mu Liancheng was about to cut off his own head. Suddenly, a figure dashed out from the blood mist. A sharp sword turned into a white shooting star and flew towards Tuoba Ye with lightning speed. Yang Dingtian actually wasnt dead? The naked Yang Dingtian, who was drenched in blood, was actually alive!? And at this final and crucial moment, he was actually counterattacking and thrusting at Tuoba Ye! The current Tuoba Yes body was emptied of all mystic qi. When he saw the blood-drenched Yang Dingtian wielding a sword and thrusting over, he was appalled. He wanted to run. He wanted to counterattack. He wanted to retreat! But, without any mystic qi, there was nothing he could do. Ahh... Yang Dingtians broken sword stabbed into Tuoba Yes chest and was lifted upwards. Tuoba Ye let out an extremely miserable scream as blood spurted out. His body flew several meters, and his entire left arm had been severed. Everything happened with lightning-fast speed, and no one could react in time. Tuoba Ye was already lying on the ground and screaming miserably. He was in a bloodied mess, and his left arm had been severed. It was just the members of the Mu Clans Docks that didnt react in time, even the experts of the Raging Flames Castle couldnt react in time. Everyone was truly shocked, as they all assumed that Yang Dingtian was dead. Who would have expected the ending to be like this? Mu Liancheng, Li Guinong, and Mu Lianyi were stunned. No one could believe that this was real. Some even gave themselves a hard slap to see if they were dreaming. Yang Dingtian actually won. Not only did he not die, but he won and even severed one of Tuoba Yes arm! ... The current Yang Dingtian was soaked in blood. He used the broken sword to point at Tuoba Ye, who was in a blood pool and said, You lost, so you cannot touch anything that belongs to the Mu Clan. You can go now. Of course, Yang Dingtian could have easily killed Tuoba Ye earlier, because all his mystic qi had been depleted. The Violent Rainstorm Sword that Tuoba Ye executed was too insane, and he didnt reserve any mystic qi. But Yang Dingtian mustnt kill him because more than a dozen Raging Flames Castles experts were here, and there were hundreds of Raging Flames Castles cavalry that surrounded the Mu Clan Docks. Once he killed Tuoba Ye, they would surely start a massacre in the Mu Clan Docks. Why did Yang Dingtian win? Because he had the Nine Yang Mystic Meridians! He could withstand huge damage that was done by mystic qi. This was the reason why he proposed for Tuoba Ye to use the mystic skills and not to fight with martial skills. If Tuoba Ye had used martial skills, he would be able to kill Yang Dingtian with his sharp sword, and Yang Dingtian would have no way to win the fight and no way to survive either. But when Yang Dingtian proposed for Tuoba Ye to use the mystic skills, everyone thought he was mad. But only he knew that this was his only way to survive, and it was absolutely required for him to die first before coming back to life. ... After Yang Dingtian spoke, it seemed as though everyone came back to their senses. Long live... It was unknown who started shouting first, which was quickly followed by the cheers from every member of the Mu Clans Docks. Everyone started to yell out emotionally. Long live Yan Nantian! Long live Yan Nantian! ... Yang Dingtian was still dripping with blood as he pointed the broken sword at Tuoba Ye and said, You lost, so it is time for you to leave. Right now, Tuoba Yes handsome face and completely distorted, and he was looking at Yang Dingtian as though he was looking at a devil. The fear and shock gradually receded from Tuoba Yes face, and it turned into malevolence and resentment! Hahahaha... Tuoba Ye suddenly let out a hysterical laugh and said, Yan Nantian, I never would have imagined that you would win. This world is too crazy. You have just created history. You are the first and only human to exceed two ranks and still win. S~?a??h the N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Immediately after, Tuoba Yes tone turned gloomy and cold as he spoke, But, so what? I will still ravage Mu Lianyi; I will still take the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. I will still chop you up into tens of thousands of pieces! Do it! Slaughter and trample the Mu Clan Docks. Except for the women, kill every single person of the Mu Clans Docks. No man, no grass, and no wood shall be left. Chop Yan Nantian up into pieces! Tuoba Ye used all his strength to give the final ruthless command! Three Raging Flames Castles elders flew over quickly to protect Tuoba Ye. Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish... The rest of the elders leaped up into the sky and dove down at Yang Dingtian like demons with extended wings. Boom Boom Boom... At this moment, hundreds of Raging Flames Castles cavalry that surrounded the Mu Clan Docks had rushed in! Despicable! Shameless! A vile human! Li Guinong, Mu Liancheng, and Mu Lianyi all exclaimed at the same time and entered the stage to protect Yang Dingtian. Bang Bang Bang... More than a dozen elders from the Raging Flames Castle landed from the sky and surrounded Yang Dingtian and the others. Bang Bang Bang Bang... Hundreds of Raging Flames Castles armored horsemen vigorously knocked down the stone walls and large gates. They brandished their battleax and began to slaughter the innocent men in the compound. Li Guinong looked at the elders that surrounded them. If this were a solo fight, none of them would be his match. But he was only able to fight five of the elders from Raging Flames Castle by himself. While for Mu Liancheng, he wasnt even a match for one of them, let alone Mu Lianyi. Hence, when the two forces were pit together, the Raging Flames Castle had an overwhelming advantage. Once they made their moves, all the Mu Clans Docks people were going to die. Li Guinong pointed at Tuoba Ye and shouted sternly, Tuoba Ye, what about your vows? If you violate them, your ancestors will never be able to reincarnate! So what? Tuoba Ye sneered and said, A person like me speaks of vows like farting. Kill! Tuoba Ye gave the order. Chapter 142: Smashing Tuoba Ye into Pieces! Lover… Chapter 142: Smashing Tuoba Ye into Pieces! Lover...Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Wait! Mu Liancheng shouted, Tuoba Ye, take the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl and go! Too late! Tuoba Ye yelled out, Yan Nantian won against me, and the few hundred of you shall die. The blood of a few hundred individuals is just enough to cleanse my humiliating loss. Kill! Tuoba Ye gave the order. Ten elders from the Raging Flames Castle brandished their sword and thrust Li Guinong. The two remaining elders killed towards Mu Liancheng and Mu Lianyi. Splitting Flames Rupture! Li Guinong abruptly roared out with a blood mist bursting out from his mouth. His mystic qi instantly increased by 50% as he thrust his large sword into the ground. Boom Boom Boom Boom... Incomparably powerful energy flames burst out and blasted at the ten elders of the Raging Flames Castle. Bang! On the stage, there was a burst of bright radiance, which caused the twin suns in the sky to lose their glow. The elders were all blasted several meters by the powerful energy as they all spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. While the sword light from the ten elders struck all over Li Guinongs body, ten blood arrows shot out from Li Guinongs body, as his face instantly turned pale as he collapsed on the ground. A single move was enough to repel ten elders of the Raging Flames Castle. It clearly demonstrated Li Guinongs prowess as the unrivaled expert in the thousand-mile radius! But he was facing against ten enemies! The ten repelled elders stopped in midair before they brandished their sharp swords and started thrusting ferociously at Li Guinong. Concurrently, another elder of the Raging Flames Castle thrust at Mu Lianchengs arm. Fresh blood violently burst out, while Mu Liancheng was sent over a dozen meters away. The cavalry of the Raging Flames Castle started their frenzied slaughter. In an instant, the entire Mu Clan Docks was splattered in blood while miserable screams echoed in the sky! Ahh... Yang Dingtian let out a furious roar when he saw Li Guinong instantly pierced by ten sharp swords that were blocking in front of him. He used all strength to rush forward and brandished his broken sword at the elders of the Raging Flames Castle. I am here, come and kill me! Yang Dingtian let out a wild roar. Five swords suddenly changed their direction and thrust at Yang Dingtians chest. The other five swords thrust at Li Guinong. Seeing five other individuals thrusting at Yang Dingtian, Li Guinongs eyes were opened so wide that it was splitting open. Ahh... Li Guinong spat out another mouthful of blood and used all his mystic qi. A burst of a powerful flaming wall to force away from the five thrusting enemies. His sharp sword in his right hand then slashed at the five individuals that were thrusting at Yang Dingtian. Bang... There was a giant noise. Five sharps swords left two inches deep wounds, before being repelled by the flaming wall. Li Guinong desperately tried to sever the five other swords, but he wasnt in time! Five broken swords all pierced at Yang Dingtians chest! No... Li Guinong looked on with wide eyes and yelled out. Bang... Yang Dingtians body instantly flew by one hundred meters. In the sky, Yang Dingtian spat out a mouthful of blood. But there were no wounds at his chest, which was struck by the sword. The sharp swords were unable to penetrate his chest because he had the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes. But the five sharp swords mystic qi still penetrated the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes and lacerated his mystic meridians. After getting struck by the five swords, Yang Dingtian crashed hard before Tuoba Ye. The current Li Guinong had almost depleted all his mystic qi. After landing, he rushed at Yang Dingtian and wanted to rescue him! But the ten elders of the Raging Flames Castle quickly surrounded Li Guinong and tried to eliminate him completely. When Tuoba Ye saw Yang Dingtian crashing by his foot and was immobilized while being drenched in blood, Tuoba Ye was instantly delighted as he laughed hysterically. Yan Nantian, you actually delivered yourself to under my leg. Since you want beauty instead of your life, I will castrate you and see how you have any lust. Tuoba Ye laughed loudly and spoke viciously, Kill Mu Liancheng and Li Guinong. Strip off all of Mu Lianyis clothes. I will be here amid the massacre, ravaging Mu Lianyi in front of everyone. Let them see the consequence of offending me, Tuoba Ye! Finishing his declaration, Tuoba Ye suddenly slashed while aiming at Yang Dingtians crotch. Yang Dingtians eyes suddenly opened as he bounced off the ground and placed the broken sword at Tuoba Yes neck. He then shouted, Everyone stop! If you dont want your Young Lord dead, then stop! Everyone was instantly shocked. Wasnt Yan Nantian half dead after being sent flying by five broken swords? How did the young lord Tuoba Ye fall into his hands again? All the elders of the Raging Flames Castle didnt dare to move. The moment when Tuoba Ye fell out, Yang Dingtian already wanted to seize him as a hostage. But with all the Raging Flames Castles elders in between them, he had no ways to rush over. Hence, he risked endangering his life and let the elders of the Raging Flames Castle thrust at him, allowing them to send him flying towards Tuoba Ye. He took a bet with his life; he wagered that his Deep Sea Mystic Clothes and his Ning Yang Mystic Meridians would be able to withstand the sword attacks from these people. S?a?ch* Th? ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Right now, he had won the bet, and Tuoba Ye was back in his hands. The current Tuoba Ye was exhausted of all mystic qi. Apart from the initial panic, he quickly came down and spoke in coldly, Yang Dingtian, you wouldnt dare to kill me. If you have the guts, kill me then! Kill me, and every one of your people will die along with me. Ask your men to back out of Mu Clans Docks. Otherwise, I will take off your head, Yang Dingtian demanded. Haha... in your dreams! Tuoba Ye laughed loudly and said, You dont dare to kill me. Immediately after, Tuoba Ye roared out, What are you waiting for? Continue the slaughter! Kill every one of Mu Clans Docks people, then strip off all of Mu Lianyis clothes. Anyone can do her. Dont worry, Yan Nantian; this trash wouldnt dare to kill me! This Tuoba Ye was incredibly insane. Once he said this, all the Raging Flames Castles members began their violent slaughter again. Li Guinong and the others fell into a precarious situation again. Two of the elders even pounced at Mu Lianyi with lustful eyes. Pfff... Yang Dingtian abruptly slashed his sword down. Ahh... Tuoba Ye yelled out miserable as his other arm had been severed. Ask them to stop! Yang Dingtian yelled at Tuoba Ye. In your dreams! Tuoba Ye was a maniac, and he was very unyielding as he roared back at Yang Dingtian. Pfff... Yang Dingtian slashed his sword down again. Ahh... Tuoba Ye let out a sky shaking scream as his right leg had been cut off at the hips by Yang Dingtian. Fresh blood surged out like a fountain. Get your men to back down. Yang Dingtian spoke with a furious tone, Otherwise, I will castrate you. In your dreams... Tuoba Ye shrieked, If you dare to castrate me, I will ask everyone present to gang rape Mu Lianyi until she dies! Pfff... Yang Dingtian slashed down. Aaoo... Ahh... Tuoba Ye let out a severe bawl like a malicious spirit. He couldnt believe his eyes as he saw his precious at the crotch shaved off by Yang Dingtian. Yan Nantian, you dare, you dare... Tuoba Ye was still as sinister as a malicious spirit as he let out an appalling scream. As your men to back down. Otherwise, I will immediately take off your head! Yang Dingtian roared out in a cold voice. Tuoba Ye, who had been screaming like a malicious spirit, suddenly had gloomy and cold eyes. He revealed a cruel smile and said, My head is your final chance to survive; you wouldnt dare to cut it off! Hahahaha... Yan Nantian, you will not dare to kill me. If you want your life, you will not dare to kill me... Tuoba Ye laughed like a lunatic. Yang Dingtian looked outside the docks and suddenly slashed down, splitting Tuoba Yes leftover body into two. Fresh blood splattered everywhere! Tuoba Yes cruel laughter came to a sudden stop. Even till he died, he truly didnt believe that Yang Dingtian would actually dare to kill him. There was silence for an instance! Everyone looked at Yang Dingtian with disbelief. They couldnt believe that Yang Dingtian actually killed the only hostage in his hand. After a moment of silence, all the elders revealed this extremely furious and bloodthirsty look at Yang Dingtian. They suddenly let go of all their targets and walked towards him. This person actually killed their Young Lord. They were going to chop Yang Dingtian up into thousands of pieces. Yang Dingtian looked outside of the docks and spoke in a cold voice, Friends outside the docks. How much longer are you going to observe? There was nothing but silence from outside. Yang Dingtian said to Mu Lianyu, Mu Lianyi, prepare to kill yourself. Mu Lianyi placed her sword across her neck and spoke in a mournful tone, I will rather die than let you beasts tarnish me. Xingwen, why didnt you come? We will only be able to see each other in our next life! Finishing her statement, Mu Lianyu was about to slice across her neck with her neck! A beautiful life was going to be shattered like a flawless jade in an instant. Wait! Stop! Suddenly, there was a loud and clear voice that interrupted. Huff Huff Huff Huff Huff... Immediately after, over a dozen red figures flew over from a distance and over hundreds of heads before landing on the stage. At this moment, there was an earth-shattering sound of horses hoofs that echoed and brought tremors to the ground. A thousand red cavalry came from the east and south. They galloped with might prestige like two clusters of flames burning their way through. The leader was a cavalryman that had a tall and straight posture. He was wearing golden armor and a red cape. He wielded a bold and powerful large sword while charging at the front of the red cavalry. He brandished his large sword and took the lives of the Raging Flames Castles cavalry in a frenzy. Bang, Bang... The giant sword swept across, taking at least eight lives. This golden cavalryman swept across like the wind. The black cavalry from the Raging Flames Castles was all terror-stricken as they scuttle away desperately. The golden cavalryman took the blink of the eye to kill his way in front of the stage. He demanded, Elders of the Raging Flames Castle, take your men and immediately get your asses back to your castle. Otherwise, we will exterminate the Tuoba Clan until the last man! Elder Hui Ying of the Raging Flames Castle had a drastic change in expression. Who are you? How dare you meddle in our Raging Flames Castles affairs? Heaven Dao Union, Southwest section, Blazing Fire Cavalry Vice-Commander, Wu Xinglie! That cavalryman spoke word by word and gave his name! Yang Dingtian looked at the golden cavalrymans face and thought in his heart, Wu Xingwen, you are finally willing to show yourself, uh? Chapter 143: Mu Lianyi, You are Young Lord’s Woman! Chapter 143: Mu Lianyi, You are Young Lords Woman!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian looked at the golden cavalrymans face and thought, Wu Xingwen, you are finally willing to show yourself, uh? Everyone from the Raging Flames Castle had this drastic change in their expressions! They were the three words that frightened them, Heaven Dao Union! If they were to offend an influential force of the Heaven Dao Union, their Raging Flames Castle would be demolished, and no one would offer any help. This fiery red cavalry army was the Heaven Dao Unions southwest armed forces. To be honest, this Blazing Fire Cavalry was much more elite than the Raging Flames Castles cavalry. If Wu Xinglie were to lead this Blazing Fire Cavalry to exterminate the Raging Flames Castle, the Tuoba Clan wouldnt even dare to put up any resistance; otherwise, the consequences would be even worse. All troops halt! Elder Hui Ying gave the order. Even if he hadnt given the orders, none his men would even dare to move. Xingwen, is that you? Looking at the golden cavalryman, Mu Lianyi asked in a timid voice. The golden cavalryman turned around and lifted his golden mask, revealing a dashing but prideful and unfeeling face. Mu Lianyi saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face! Thats right, it was Wu Xingwen, but he was called Wu Xinglie now! Facing Mu Lianyi, that unfeeling and prideful face instantly dissolved into a tender expression. He replied, Its me. Im back. Your Wu Xingwen is back. S~?a??h the ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. As it turned out, he was Mu Lianyis lover, Wu Xingwen. That son of the fisherman. Right now, he had risen to the position of the Vice Commander of the Blazing Fire Cavalry that belonged to the southwest section of the Heaven Dao Union. He was going to be one of the upper echelons of the southwest section. He had risen from the son of a fisherman to a prodigy that was high and mighty. He promised Mu Lianyi that he would achieve enough merits five years later and would return after he was worthy enough to marry Mu Lianyi. He was finally back and, in a style, that Mu Lianyi couldnt imagine. He rode a great horse and wore a golden armor. He wielded a mystic fire sword and led a thousand cavalry back! This was the result that was ten thousand folds more prestigious and ten thousand folds more wonderful than Mu Lianyi imagined! Mu Lianyi couldnt believe what she saw, as she instantly collapsed from happiness. She covered her petite mouth and let out a painful and miserable cry before sprinting towards Wu Xinglie. Wu Xinglie carried Mu Lianyi up the horse and spoke in a gentle voice, Im sorry, Im sorry. I came late. I came late... Mu Lianyi cried even louder, as though she wanted to vent out all the suffering and grievances that she experienced during this period. Why did you only come back now? You have finally returned. I have been waiting for you every single day! Wu Xinglie said, Im sorry I am late, and I have let you suffer. No, this is nothing. As long as you are back, I feel better than ever, Mu Lianyi spoke tenderly. The two of them went silent for a moment, while everyone else didnt say anything and were looking at how affectionate Wu Xinglie and Mu Lianyu were. Suddenly, Mu Lianyi thought of Yang Dingtian and pointed at him, Xingwen, this is Big Brother Yan Nantian, who desperately tried to rescue my life and my dignity! After Tuoba Ye lost the martial contest, he went back on his words and wanted to kill Big Brother Yan Nantian. You have to save him. Of course! Wu Xinglie walked in front of Yang Dingtian and said, Hero Yan, I am unable to express my gratitude. If you are Lianyis Big Brother, then you are also Wu Xinglies Big Brother! Yang Dingtian used all his strength to reveal a smile and replied, You are welcomed. Then I shall leave the rest to you. Finishing his reply, Yang Dingtian closed his eyes and went into a recuperative state. Wu Xinglie slowly walked in front of Elder Hui Ying and spoke in a cold voice, Now, what are you going to do? Elder Hui Ying quickly changed his expression and said, We will leave immediately and will never meddle in anything that belongs to the Mu Clan Docks. Just like this? Wu Xinglie asked coldly, Are you not going to receive any punishment for your wrongdoings? Hui Yings face changed drastically and nodded. Understood! Immediately after, he took out three daggers. Pfff Pfff Pfff... He abruptly stabbed them into his chest and abdomen. Vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood, Hui Ying said, Commander Wu, can we go now? You may. Wu Xinglie then said, But after you return. Bring all the heads of the people who were involved in killing today and deliver them to my Blazing Fire Cavalry. This order was extremely arrogant and despotic. Elder Hui Yings face immediately twitched before he gritted his teeth and replied, Yes. After we return, I will immediately kill them and deliver their heads. That is all, you may leave, Wu Xinglie dismissed them. Many thanks, Hui Ying responded. Subsequently, the elders of the Raging Flames Castle carried Tuoba Ye and retreated respectfully. The black cavalry from the Raging Flames Castle similarly withdrew with fear. In less than ten minutes, all members of the Raging Flames Castle had been cleared out completely. The entire Mu Clan Docks was only left with blood, the casualties, and the one thousand cavalrymen who looked like a burning fire. Wu Xinglie walked over to Mu Lianyi and said, I heard about your incident when I was three thousand miles away. Hence, I led my cavalry and hurried for four days and nights without any rest or food. We finally arrived in time and stopped a terrifying thing from happening. If something were to happen to you, I would never be able to forgive myself. Mu Lianyi spoke in a gentle voice, Dont think like that. You still managed to save everyone. You have already done your best. If I had arrived earlier, all these innocent people wouldnt have perished, and I even knew some of them. Wu Xinglie sighed and said, And, the reason why I didnt kill Tuoba Ye was that I couldnt. The Raging Flames Castle is neither evil nor good, and the upper echelons didnt give the final orders to eliminate the Raging Flames Castle. I understand. Mu Lianyi spoke softly, For everything you have done, I can understand them. Wu Xinglie said, Five years... I have finally returned. I managed to get some accomplishments and return to your side. ******** Yang Dingtian slept for three days and nights before regaining his consciousness. Even after consuming the high-grade elixir that was refined by Ximen Ningning, he couldnt even recover half of the mystic qi in his body. But this recuperation ability was already incredibly astounding. If it were someone else with such severe injuries, they would need at least three months. Once he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Mu Lianyi, who was resting her upper body on the side of the bed. She had changed her clothes, but it was still skin-tight. This time, it was a white sea snakeskin suit, which had golden stripes. Yang Dingtian sat up by holding on to the bed. Big Brother Yan, youre finally awake. Mu Lianyi instantly woke up and spoke with a pleasantly surprised expression, How do you feel? I am fine. Yang Dingtian said, Have you been attending to me for a long time? Shouldnt you be accompanying Wu Xinglie (Wu Xingwen), right? You havent seen each other in five years. It seemed like Mu Lianyi didnt get any sleep for an extended period, hence her charming face was filled with fatigue. But she didnt look wallow and looked even more alluring, which was obviously because of the nourishment of love. Hearing Yang Dingtians statement, Mu Lianyi revealed a trace of embarrassment and replied, Big Brother Yan is injured because of me, I naturally had to attend to you. As for accompanying him, I have already waited for five years; there is no difference in waiting another moment more. There will be lots of opportunities in the future. Despite being shy, when talking about the matters of being together with Wu Xinglie, she still spoke in a natural and unrestrained manner. How are your fathers injuries? Yang Dingtian asked. Mu Lianyi replied, He just suffered some superficial wounds. He was fine after getting some medicine. Subsequently, Mu Lianyi looked at Yang Dingtian with big eyes and seemed to hesitate after trying to say something. Whats the matter? Tell me. Yang Dingtian smiled and said, If you need my help, you can just say it. Mu Lianyi was instantly delighted as she spoke, There is something that I really need Big Brother Yans help with. My father doesnt allow me to be together with Xingwen. Yang Dingtian asked, Why is that? Wu Xinglie is now an illustrious figure and is the Heaven Dao Unions Southwest Sections Blazing Fire Cavalry Vice-Commander. No one in the entire southwest continent would dare to provoke him. Even if he were to travel the world, everyone would treat him as an esteemed guest. Mu Lianyi explained, Father said that the final victor for my martial contest for marriage is you. Furthermore, Big Brother Yan had nearly paid your life for me. Hence, I should follow you, and there was no other reason for me to be with another man. Ending her explanation, Mu Lianyi had watery eyes as she held onto Yang Dingtians arm and pleaded, Big Brother Yan, we have already sworn to be siblings. You cannot ignore your little sisters lifelong happiness. Can you speak to my father? He will certainly be willing to listen to you. Mu Lianyi pleaded while shaking Yang Dingtians arm, causing his arm to make contact with her body occasionally. Of course, she wasnt aware of her actions, and this girl was truly unruly and offhand. But Yang Dingtian felt that things shouldnt be like this either. He quickly drew his arms away and said, Alright, I will go look for Uncle Mu now. I will speak when I need to. Yang Dingtian didnt commit wholeheartedly because he had some hesitation in his heart. That is great! Thank you, thank you, Mu Lianyi grabbed Yang Dingtians arm and shook it forcefully. She then wanted to drag Yang Dingtian out immediately after. ********** Young... Nephew Yan, how do you feel? Just as Mu Liancheng saw Yang Dingtian, he immediately went forward to give his greetings. Im fine. Yang Dingtian asked, How about Uncle Mu? Are you affected after getting stabbed by the sword? Mu Liancheng shook his head and said, It is just some superficial wounds; it is of no importance. Faction Head Li, on the other hand, would require at least half a year to recover. The one with the worst injuries is Nephew Ximen Bao, who will need at least one or two years, and it is unknown if he will be able to make a full recovery. Sigh... just because of a personal matter of my clan, we implicated so many people. I, Mu Liancheng, truly deserve death! Dont talk like this. I cant just see around and resign to fate, right? Yang Dingtian said, The incident is already over, so dont go think about it. Did the Raging Flames Castle come to harass you during these two days? How would they dare to? Mu Liancheng said, The entire Raging Flames Castle had been terror-stricken by Wu Xinglie. They even delivered a few hundred thousand gold coins as compensation, along with an over a hundred heads to apologize. Yang Dingtian said, Since Wu Xinglie is so outstanding, why are you stopping him from being together with Lianyi? After hearing that Yang Dingtian actually spoke about this, Mu Lianchengs expression altered slightly. Do, do you not favor my daughter? She should originally be following you. Yang Dingtian smiled and said, Lianyi is beautiful and generous. Everyone will like her. But Uncle Mu should know that I already have a wife, and I cannot let her down. Mu Liancheng replied, Then let my daughter be your servant. Even then, it would be a blessing for our Mu Clan. Once he said this, Mu Lianyis delicate body shuddered, while she had this expression of disbelief. Yan Nantian did nearly lose his life because of her and did rescue her, but it wasnt enough to make her become a servant. Did she have such a lowly status as the young lady of the Mu Clan? Father, I am grateful to Big Brother Yan for rescuing me. I am even willing to use my life to repay him. But gratitude is different from affection. If you want me to submit myself because of gratitude... I cant do it. Mu Lianyi spoke in a loud voice, Moreover, am I such a lowly person in your eyes? To be a servant for others? Mu Liancheng shouted, You might not even be qualified to be a servant! After shouting, Mu Liancheng closed all the doors and windows. He made sure there wasnt anyone around before he spoke coldly to Mu Lianyi, Kneel, Mu Lianyi. Mu Lianyi couldnt understand, but still clenched onto her tooth and knelt with reluctance and grievance. This person in front of you is not Yan Nantian. He is Yang Dingtian, our Young Lord. The future City Lord of Cloud Heaven City. Chapter 144: Tearing Apart Lovers, Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl! Chapter 144: Tearing Apart Lovers, Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales This person in front of you is not Yan Nantian. He is Yang Dingtian, our Young Lord. The future City Lord of Cloud Heaven City. Mu Liancheng then said, City Lord Ximen has bestowed my life and your mothers life. Right now, your life is also bestowed by Young Lord. You say, isnt your duty to serve him as a servant? Isnt it a blessing for you? Mu Lianyi looked at Yang Dingtian with disbelief! City Lord, City Lord, City Lord! Mu Lianyi had heard of this term countless times since she was young. For the past few months, she had heard a new term, which was Young Lord. She similarly heard this term from her fathers mouth countless times. In fact, Mu Liancheng had been planning to send her to the Cloud Heaven City for the past few months, for her to serve Young Lord Yang Dingtian as a servant. If it wasnt for the incident at the Cloud Heaven City, he might have already sent Mu Lianyi over. This Big Brother Yan, who was her sworn brother, was actually that rumored Yang Dingtian, that rumored Young Lord. Countless emotions surged out instantly. Although she knew Ximen Wuya had once saved their lives, in her heart, she had hate more than gratitude towards Ximen Wuya. Because of Ximen Wuyas existence, her father had been living in agony and guilt for his entire life. The entire Mu Clan was unable to live freely and happily. As for that rumored Young Lord, Mu Lianyi had even more resentment for him in her heart. For what reason did this delicate, charming, and free beauty had to be born as his servant and on what basis? In this instant, Mu Lianyi looked at Yang Dingtian with complicated eyes. Feeling the sudden animosity from Mu Lianyi, Yang Dingtian couldnt help but let out a bitter smile. He then spoke to Mu Liancheng, Uncle Mu, can you dismiss yourself first? I have something to speak with Lianyi. Yes, Young Lord. Mu Liancheng bowed with respect and spoke in a cold voice to Mu Lianyi, Mu Lianyi, you remember this. You belong to Young Lord when you are alive. Even when you die, you are the Young Lords ghost. Forget about that Wu Xingwen, who you pledged to marry without my approval! Finishing his statement, Mu Liancheng faced Yang Dingtian and backed out of the room with the utmost respect. Suddenly, the room was only left with Yang Dingtian and Mu Lianyi. The current atmosphere had turned immense and awkward. ... Lianyi, we need to discuss how to deal with this matter again. Yang Dingtian smiled and said, Uncle Mus tone was overly firm and stubborn, and I must not immediately refute him either. But dont you worry, I will use my status as the Young Lord to order him and let you have your freedom for happiness. How about it? Mu Lianyis face instantly turned slightly gentle before she bowed with respect. Thank you, Young Lord. Her attitude suddenly became respectful but had this distant tone in it, which sounded rather indifferent. Young Lord, dont blame for my attitude. I am truly unable to suppress my emotions. Thats right, I hate City Lord Ximen, and I also hate you, Young Lord Yang Dingtian. Mu Lianyi said, Do you know how have we been living for these years? Id like to hear the details, Yang Dingtian replied. We have been living every single moment with an immense mountain on our backs, as my father has always been living in guilt. Before my mother gave birth to me, she had been on the run and suffered a lot. Thus, after she gave birth to me, her body was extremely frail and riddled with illnesses. But after we came to the southwest continent to build up the Mu Clan Docks, my father has never once spoken to my mother, no matter how gentle and how affectionate she was. On the outside appearance, they looked like a pair of husband and wife with loving affection, but as long as there wasnt anyone else around, my father never spoke to my mother, he wouldnt even touch her. He had never forgiven my mother, and when I was five years old, my mother passed away. Over that single night, my father had aged by ten years. He loved my mother very much, but he felt that he owed City Lord Ximen too much, and the guilt in his heart prevented him from loving my mother. It was also because of this guilt that he doesnt believe that he deserves happiness. He is forever living in guilt and forever feeling that he owes City Lord Ximen. It is also because of me, that prevented him from rushing at Yin Yang Sect and sacrificing himself to repay City Lord Ximen. With the City Lord gone and the Young Lord appearing, my father couldnt wait to give everything to you. That naturally includes me, Mu Lianyi let out a mournful smile. After taking a deep breath, Mu Lianyi said, My father is finished and only has the thoughts of becoming a slave. But I want freedom, and I would rather die without it. So, I want to pursue the rights for my own happiness; I want the rights for my emotions. I will not be a servant for you, Young Lord Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian nodded and said, I know. I will go talk to your father about this. As soon as he finished talking, Yang Dingtian was going to leave the room. Thank you, Big Brother Yan. Mu Lianyis voice suddenly became very gentle as she spoke, My resentment earlier wasnt towards you, and it was towards that rumored Young Lord. In my heart, you will always be my Big Brother Yan. Yang Dingtian paused and put on a smile. Then, your little sisters lifelong happiness will be all resting on Big Brothers shoulders, Mu Lianyi said. Dont worry, Yang Dingtian replied and walked out. *********************** S?a??h th? N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Uncle Mu, I will never take Mu Lianyi as my woman. Yang Dingtian walked in front of Mu Liancheng and spoke directly, She doesnt have this obligation, and she has absolute freedom and the rights for her choice of happiness. Mu Lianchengs body shivered, and he turned silent. Two minutes later, Mu Liancheng said, Young Lord, even if my daughter isnt blessed to be with you, I will not approve of her being together with that Wu Xinglie. Why? Yang Dingtian asked, What is the problem with Wu Xinglie? He is already very accomplished, at least more than me, who is just the successor of the Cloud Heaven City Lord by name. Mu Liancheng replied, Young Lord, Faction Head Li just received a piece of information. That Blazing Fire Cavalry of the Heaven Dao Unions Southwest section is actually an armed force that belongs to the Northwest Qin Clan, which was sent to the southwest continent. They are just using the name of the Heaven Dao Union to conceal the Northwest Qin Clans ambition. This Wu Xinglie is actually the trusted aide of the Northwest Qin Clans Young Lord. He is actually the Young Lords sword slave. Just like the relationship between City Lord Ximen and me. Yang Dingtian knitted his brows and said, Is this information accurate? It is accurate. Mu Liancheng said, Moreover, their first objective on the southwest continent is the Raging Flames Castle. They are going to take in the Raging Flames Castle as their lackeys. Hence the reason why they didnt exterminate the members of the Raging Flames Castle. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, If that is the case, Mu Lianyi really cannot marry Wu Xinglie. Otherwise, it would be blood on our hands in the future. Yang Dingtian didnt insist unreasonably that love took priority and immediately denied Mu Lianyis request. I will go discuss with her about this matter, Yang Dingtian said and walked out. Mu Liancheng spoke with gratitude, Young Lord, let me go speak with her. Its fine, Yang Dingtian replied. ************************* How is it, Big Brother Yan?! Did my father agree? Seeing Yang Dingtian walked in, Mu Lianyi ran over with a hopeful expression. Yang Dingtian shook his head immediately. Mu Lianyis body shivered and spoke with a sobbing voice, On what reason? Why? Why doesnt he agree? Yang Dingtian said, He isnt the only one that doesnt agree. I will not either. Mu Lianyi was startled as she looked at Yang Dingtian with a puzzled expression as she asked, Why dont you agree? What, what rights do you have to disagree with? Wu Xinglie is a member of the Northwest Qin Clan, and you are a member of the Cloud Heaven City. The two powers cannot exist together. The two of you cannot be together, Yang Dingtian spoke firmly and resolutely. I am not a member of the Cloud Heaven City, and I dont care about being one either. Mu Lianyi spoke in a loud voice, You are the Young Lord of my father, not my Young Lord. You dont have the authority to be asking me what to do. This isnt up to you. You have the right not to be my servant, but you dont have the right to marry a member of the Northwest Qin Clan, Yang Dingtian spoke in a firm tone. No, I insist on being with him. No one in the world can obstruct me. Furthermore, you are just a bullshit Young Lord that is totally unrelated to me. Mu Lianyi spoke with anger, Dont think that I dont know what you are thinking... You are jealous of Xingwen. You appear to be magnanimous and pretend to help us fulfill our wishes. In fact, your heart desires to possess me. Because you arent able to accomplish your goal, you wouldnt let other men obtain me either. Yang Dingtian was instantly surprised to hear this. He couldnt believe that Mu Lianyi would say such things. Hmph... Mu Lianyi let out a sneer and said, You are jealous of Xingwen, you are jealous that he is stronger, more outstanding and more awe-inspiring than you now. Of course, you are unwilling to see him do well and unwilling to see us together. Yang Dingtian was utterly speechless. He looked at Mu Lianyi with shock and was truly at a loss for words. Outrageous! You ungrateful woman, Mu Liancheng rushed in from the outside and gave a hard slap to Mu Lianyi. Pa... A loud, crisp sound echoed. Mu Lianyis delicate body was sent flying and crashed onto the ground. Her charming face instantly swelled up while fresh blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. Despite getting slapped, Mu Lianyi still had this stubborn face that wasnt going to yield. She then spoke to Mu Liancheng, Daddy, even if you beat me to death, I am still going to say it. You are the slave of Cloud Heaven City, but I am not. I am a free soul. You can be the slave of the Cloud Heaven City all you want, but I dont care for it. You can be Yang Dingtians servant all you want, but I am not going to do it. Even if you beat me to death, I am still going to pursue my freedom and feelings. I am still going to together with Xingwen. Mu Liancheng was instantly trembling from anger. His vision was blackening, and he nearly fainted. Mu Liancheng clenched his fist hard and spoke, Mu Lianyi, if that is so, then I will tell you this directly. If you want to be with Wu Xinglie, then you will not be my daughter. From now on, we will sever our relationship as father and daughter. If you want to be the woman of the Northwest Qin Clan, then you will not be the daughter of the Cloud Heaven City. Finishing his reprimanding, Mu Liancheng turned and walked out. Another thing. Mu Lianyi, if you dare to expose Young Lords identity, I will kill you! Mu Liancheng said the last few words with an icy cold and resolute tone. When Mu Lianyi heard it, her face became deathly white and was robbed of all the color of blood. Only Yang Dingtian and Mu Lianyi were left in the room. Yang Dingtian didnt have any intention to help Mu Lianyi up, nor did he intend to make any explanation. Mu Lianyis heart was filled with resentment and prejudice. No amount of explanation was going to be of any use. You consider if your father or your lover is more important. Moreover, the Northwest Qin Clan entered the southwest continent with treacherous intentions. Wu Xinglie isnt as simple as he seems, Yang Dingtian spoke in an indifferent tone. Mu Lianyi lifted her head and let out a sarcastic laugh while saying, Young Lord Yang Dingtian, dont forget that Xingwen rescued your life three days ago. Now you cant wait to vilify him? Oh, thats right. Mu Lianyi continued, Three days ago, I owed you my life, but Xingwen rescued your life. I am his lover, so we are of the same entity. From now on, I dont owe you anything. Yang Dingtian spoke in an indifferent tone, You never owed me in the first place. Of course, I dont think I owe anything to Wu Xinglie, either. Hurhur... Mu Lianyi let out a sneer. ******************** It was the nighttime; Yang Dingtian was resting in a meditative position. He suddenly felt a figure entering his room, which caused all his pores to expanded abruptly, but quickly relaxed again. Because there was this familiar fragrance that drifted in at the same time, but he still didnt open his eyes. Hey! That person yelled out. Yang Dingtian opened his eyes. He instantly saw this healthy and captivating figure standing in the dark. It was Mu Lianyi, and she was wearing a pure black skintight suit while standing right in front of Yang Dingtian. Is there a problem? Yang Dingtian asked with knitted brows. Follow me, Mu Lianyi said. To where? Yang Dingtian asked as he immediately saw that Mu Lianyi had this baggage with her. Just follow me. Mu Lianyi spoke coldly, Didnt you want the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl? Follow me to retrieve it. I have hidden it in a place where no one knows about it. Yang Dingtian had hesitation in his heart, but Mu Lianyi had already left like a cat vanishing without a trace. Yang Dingtian quickly got up and chased after her. Chapter 145: Exposing the Hideous Face! Chapter 145: Exposing the Hideous Face!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales After exiting the Mu Clan Docks, Mu Lianyi was standing in the middle of the road towards the north. She was waiting there for Yang Dingtian. When she saw Yang Dingtian catching up, she immediately turned to run swiftly towards the north. She had such nimble maneuver skills that didnt let out any noise or presence. In the dark, Yang Dingtian followed behind closely, but he didnt know where was Mu Lianyi going to. He originally knew that the Fire Chilling Pearl wasnt stored in the Mu Clan Docks and at somewhere else. It was the proper way to do it, otherwise, it would be even more dangerous to keep it in the Mu Clan Docks. Mu Lianyi kept on going north and further north. In the darkness, she was truly like a cat which was fast and silent. After running for more than 100 miles, there was a gigantic stone mountain ahead. The stone mountain was so tall, it penetrated the sky. The side that was facing Yang Dingtian was a completely vertical and precipitous stone cliff. Mu Lianyi didnt say anything and immediately rushed to the bottom of the stone cliff and abruptly jumped up. She jumped around seven to eight meters and stuck her delicate body close to the stone cliff and climbed upwards rapidly like a gecko. Yang Dingtian followed suit and jumped over ten meters before sticking to the stone cliff and climbing up. Just like this, Mu Lianyi was leading the way, while Yang Dingtian followed behind as they rapidly climbed towards the mountain peak. This stone mountain was more than two thousand meters in height. Yang Dingtian and Mu Lianyi were ascending the mountain silently and took around ten minutes to finally reach the peak of the mountain. There were gusts of wind on the mountain peak. There were a range of hills below and a forest which looked like a giant beast that was pressed under a foot. The mountain peak was flat land, which was only a few hundred square meters. The entire mountain looked just like an incomparably enormous boulder. I am the only one who knows where the Fire Chilling Pearl is hidden. Not even my father knows about it. Mu Lianyi said, I am about to go look for Xingwen, but I am going to hand the Fire Chilling Pearl to you before I leave. This was what I promised earlier. But, before I hand it over to you, I have a condition. Speak, Yang Dingtian said. After you obtain the Fire Chilling Pearl, leave my clan immediately. Mu Lianyi said, Dont ever return to the Mu Clan Docks and sever all ties with my father. I hope he will not be related to the Cloud Heaven City anymore. Otherwise, there will be the day where he will die in all of your hands. Yang Dingtian didnt reply. Because he originally didnt intend to disturb Mu Lianchengs peaceful life. The reason why he stayed behind was that Mu Lianyi met with trouble. But when facing a rude woman that was filled with hostility, there was already no need for any explanation. I will take your silence as agreement, Mu Lianyi said and crouched down at the middle of the mountain peak. She then used her finger to lightly tap at the surface of the mountain peak. After tapping a few times, she laid down and knocked while using her ears listen. It is here, Mu Lianyi said and lifted a piece of stone slab, revealing a two feet hole which had a square shape. Yang Dingtian was surprised as he didnt expect there to be a secret entrance in this place. Come in, Mu Lianyi said and immediately jumped into this hole. Yang Dingtian hesitated and jumped in. Mu Lianyi then lit up a sulfur match. Below the hole was actually a stone room, which was only a few dozen square meters. But there was a stone bed, a stone table, and a stone chair. Who was the one that dug out a hidden room? Furthermore, the entire place was filled with solid stones, and it must have been a strenuous task to excavate a hidden room in this place. I discovered this place when I was young and no one else knows about this place except me. Mu Lianyi said, Hence, I hid the Fire Chilling Pearl in this place. Mu Lianyi squatted down in front of the stone bed and lightly patted on the bed. A narrow crevice appeared where Mu Lianyi drew out a stone sleeve that had a small hole in it. She reached in and took out a snow-white box. The Fire Chilling Pearl had to be stored in a special cooling box, otherwise, its chilling energy would constantly leak out. Just as Mu Lianyi was about to open the box, Yang Dingtian let out a hurried breath, which made Mu Lianyi let out a ridiculing laugh. Thats right, Yang Dingtian really cared about this Fire Chilling Pearl. Only after obtaining it, was he able to enter the Fire Cloud Devil Cave and used the peak grade coal-seam fire to forge his soul sword. Otherwise, when he entered that place, he would be immediately killed by that thousand-year-old, guardian demonic beast. Not even a Master class expert would be able to escape that fate. What is the date today? Yang Dingtian asked. Twin Suns Calendar, 10th of the First Month, Mu Lianyi replied. Yang Dingtian did some mental calculation. There was still less than twenty days before the peak grade coal-seam fire was about to burst out. That peak grade coal-seam fire in the Fire Cloud Devil Cave only burst out once every decade and it would only last for six hours. Just like a night-blooming cereus, after six hours, the peak grade coal-seam fire would automatically be extinguished and go back into a dormant state. It would only accumulate enough energy a decade later before it could burst out again. Once the peak grade coal-seam fire was missed, one would have to wait for another decade. Hence the reason why the peak grade coal-seam fire was so precious and why soul swords were so rare. The timing of the coal-seam fire bursting in the Fire Cloud Devil Cave was every ten years on the 28th of the First Month, midday. The Fire Cloud Devil Cave was about 10,000 miles away from here and there was a vast sea in the between. Yang Dingtian was naturally anxious and had this urgency to obtain the Fire Chilling Pearl. **************** The instant when Mu Lianyi opened the box, Yang Dingtian took a deep breath as he was afraid that this Fire Chilling Pearl might vanish all of a sudden. Once the box was opened, there was this mysterious pearl resting in it. It looked white and blue, and colorless at time. It was incredibly beautiful, mystical, and mysterious. Thats right, this is the Fire Chilling Pearl and it was one of the cardinal treasures of the world. The Fire Chilling Pearl which was of utmost importance to Yang Dingtian. Take it, this is to repay you for rescuing me back at the contest stage, Mu Lianyi spoke in a serious tone and passed the Fire Chilling Pearl along with the box to Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian didnt try to be pretentious and extended his hand to receive it. Hahahaha... Suddenly, there was a burst of bizarre laughter, which was immediately followed after by a black shadow entering the hole and appearing inside the hidden room. Apologies, this Fire Chilling Pearl doesnt belong to either of you, it belongs to this lord. This persons voice sounded very strange, as the cawing of crows. He was dressed in black clothes and wearing a mask of a malicious ghost. He only revealed a pair of eyes, which were looking at the Fire Chilling Pearl with avaricious eyes. The two of them were startled as Yang Dingtian swiftly drew his sharp sword. Mu Lianyi instinctively withdrew the Fire Chilling Pearl to his back. Yang Dingtian truly didnt expect that someone would try to snatch the Fire Chilling Pearl just as he was about to obtain it. Yang Dingtian took a step forward and stood in front of Mu Lianyi, asking in an indifferent voice, May I know how are you? This lord is the West Mountain Lonesome Crying Ghost(Lonesome Crying Ghost). Have you heard of my name? That individual spoke in a sharp voice. Yang Dingtian didnt hear of this name, but Mu Lianyi had. This person was the most famous bandit in the southwest continent and it was claimed that he had nothing that he couldnt steal. How did you know we are here in Ecstacy Cliff? Mu Lianyi asked coldly. Haha... Lonesome Crying Ghost laughed with a sharp pitch and said, I am not as stupid as Tuoba Ye who came directly to rob the pearl and actually got himself crippled. I just had to keep track of Young Lady Mu and she would have to go retrieve the Fire Chilling Pearl one day. Finally, this day has arrived. Mu Lianyi had a change in expression, You have been stalking me all this time? Thats right! Lonesome Crying Ghost said, But dont worry, when you are doing those private things, I am just lingering around and didnt peek at you. There must still be morality in thievery! Furthermore, if I wanted to stalk someone, my target will never notice me. Alright, hand the Fire Chilling Pearl over. This lord doesnt want to hurt anyone. If a beauty like you got injured, it wouldnt be good. Yang Dingtians brows lifted and he instantly tightened his grip on the sword. Kid, you better dont think of making a move. To tell you the truth, even if both of you were at your prime state, your combined efforts would still lose out to me. I am even more powerful than that Tuoba Ye. Furthermore, I will not be as foolish as him to fight you using mystic skills. I will use martial skills and my sword. Lonesome Crying Ghost laughed and said, If I was you, I will certainly not make a move and hand the pearl over obediently instead of taking the risk. Yang Dingtian said, This Fire Chilling Pearl might be a cardinal treasure, but it is only in regard to those people who need it. What does this sir need the Fire Chilling Pearl for? If it is for selling, then I can pay with double the price. Lonesome Crying Ghost responded, Cut the nonsense, hand the pearl over and I will let you go! Dont even think about it! Yang Dingtian spoke with a cold voice. Then you two will die here, Lonesome Crying Ghosts voice instantly turned cold. His sword shook as he thrust towards Yang Dingtian. Cling... Yang Dingtian raised his sword up and blocked. Clost combat! An extremely crafty mystic qi passed through the blade and entered Yang Dingtians body, sending him flying more than ten meters, while swallowing a mouthful of fresh blood that was about to spurt out. In just an instant, half his arm had turned cold and numb. He had lost all senses in his hand and nearly couldnt grip his sword properly. Thats right, this persons cultivation was far superior to Yang Dingtian! Have you tasted my prowess? This is merely 50% of my mystic qi. Lonesome Crying Ghost spoke in a cold voice, I will count to three. If you dont hand the pearl over, I will not be merciful and let the two of you die here. You can be a pair of mandarin... a part of corpses. Three!Two!One! As he counted down, Lonesome Crying Ghosts expression turned into a chilling face as he said, It seems like the two of you really want to die. Do you rather the treasure than your life? Then I shall help you with it. Finishing his words, his sharp sword shook, as it burst with a huge amount of mystic qi, causing tremors in the stone room. Swish... Lonesome Crying Ghosts sword was extremely fast and extremely severe. It had powerful mystic qi which thrust at Yang Dingtians head with lightning speed. Yes, it wasnt aimed at the chest, it was aimed at the head! The speed was at the extremity and it was the fastest among all the foes Yang Dingtian had faced. It was so fast that it couldnt be evaded. Just as Yang Dingtians head was about to be penetrated. Yang Dingtian stood still and said, You arent that West Mountain Lonesome Crying Ghost. The sword paused while Lonesome Crying Ghost laughed loudly, If I am not West Mountain Lonesome Crying Ghost, who am I? Stop acting, Wu Xingli. Or should I address you as Wu Xingwen? Yang Dingtian spoke indifferently. Ahh... Mu Lianyi suddenly called out with her delicate voice. Impossible, it cannot be him! Haha... Lonesome Crying Ghost laughed heartily and said, Kid, are you mad? Even if you want to live, you dont have to use such ways. I am the magnificent West Mountain Lonesome Crying Ghost, why do I have to pass myself as Wu Xinglie or Wu Xingwen? Yang Dingtian said, If you are not Wu Xinglie, then take your mask off. Do I have to do it if you tell me to? What are you? That individual sneered. I want you to take off your mask. Mu Lianyi spoke apathetically. Swish... No one knew that Mu Lianyi pressed, a stone wall suddenly opened at her back. It was a bottomless abyss which constantly emitted horrific and chilling energy. No one expected this. There was actually nothing below the stone room, the interior of this few thousand meters tall stone mountain was actually empty. Mu Lianyi extended the box with the Fire Chilling Pearl in it and put it above the abyss. Take off your mask, or I will throw this Fire Chilling Pearl down. This is a bottomless abyss that contains toxic and magma, even an absolute expert would die without a corpse if they drop it. Once I loosen my hand, you will never obtain this Fire Chilling Pearl. Dont throw, That individual spoke nervously and his voice became erratic. It looked as though he was hesitating and struggling. Two minutes later, that person said, What if, I do not wish to take down the mask? Mu Lianyis delicate body shuddered as she responded indifferently, Then you will never get this Fire Chilling Pearl. I will countdown from three. Three!Two!One! Mu Lianyi counted down quickly and loosened her fingers as the box containing the Fire Chilling Pearl was dropped. Ahh... That individual gasp and wanted to pounce over, but was forcefully intercepted by Yang Dingtian. Mu Lianyi was extremely fast and just as the Fire Chilling Pearl fell about two feet, she quickly caught it. Take off the mask and let me see your face, said Mu Lianyi. That individual took a deep breath and said in a cold voice, You want to see my face? Fine, I will let you see it. I hope you dont regret this. Subsequently, he slowly took off the mask. For a moment, Mu Lianyi felt as though she couldnt breathe as she was afraid Yang Dingtian might be right. That person took off the mask completely. Ahh... Mu Lianyi cried out in surprise. Because, it was a hideous face, and it was so ugly that it was on the level of a nightmare. The entire face looked as though it was corroded by acid and fried in oil. It wasnt the face of a human, it looked as though a malicious spirit that came from the netherworld. Take a look then, are you satisfied? Lonesome Crying Ghost spoke in a sharp voice, Girl, hand over the Fire Chilling Pearl and you can live. I will certainly kill this man. Stop acting, Wu Xinglie, or should I call you Wu Xingwen, Yang Dingtian spoke coldly. Before that individual could speak, Mu Lianyi couldnt help but speak with rage, He isnt Wu Xingwen. When are you going to stop slandering Xingwen? You have already seen his face and you still insist that he is Xingwen. What intentions do you have? Hmph... Lonesome Crying Ghost sneered and said, Kid, you insist that I am Wu Xingwen. But what proof do you have? Yang Dingtian replied, Earlier when you mentioned that you want to kill me and Mu Lianyi and let us be a pair of mandarin ducks. But you stopped halfway and changed it to a pair of corpses. That entire sentence was very uncoordinated. Obviously, you didnt wish to say mandarin ducks, because you are Wu Xinglie and you have an intense possessive desire for Mu Lianyi. Thus, you were unwilling to let her be involved with another man, even in speech. Haha... Lonesome Crying Ghost laughed sarcastically and said, What kind of ridiculous proof is that? Yang Dingtian smiled and said, There is another thing... Enough! Mu Lianyi interrupted Yang Dingtian and scolded, Dont use your vile heart to criticize a gentlemans character. Dont think that your dark and despicable mentality can vilify Wu Xingwen. If you dare to say another statement that slanders Xingwen, I will kill you! Yang Dingtian! Under extreme anger, Yang Dingtians name rushed out from her mouth. Yang Dingtian?! After hearing this name, Lonesome Crying Ghost cried out in alarm, while his body shivered and looked at Yang Dingtian. But soon enough, he acted as though it was nothing and smiled. So you are not Yan Nantian but Yang Dingtian. The renowned Yang Dingtian! Xingwen, it really is you, Mu Lianyi let out a sad cry as her delicate body shuddered, while she looked at that person with eyes of disbelief. Lonesome Crying Ghost laughed grimly and said, Girl, are you mad too? What nonsense are you talking about. Mu Lianyis beautiful eyes were tearing up and her beautiful face had this extremely disappointed expression as she said, Stop the act Xingwen. You are Wu Xingwen. When I accidentally shouted out Yang Dingtians name, you cried out in surprise and forgot to disguise your voice. Once I heard it, I knew it was you. Because that voice, appeared in my dreams countless times. Hehe... That person sneered and said, You must be silly from all the dreams and treat anyones voice as your lovers voice. Rip off your hideous face, or else I will destroy this Fire Chilling Pearl! Mu Lianyi screamed as though an injured beast. She lifted the Fire Chilling Pearl high and was going to smash it on the ground. No! That person exclaimed and gritted his teeth before ripping off the face and exposing a dashing face. Thats right, he was Wu Xingwen, also Wu Xinglie. Mu Lianyi instantly collapsed with despair. It really is you, it really is you... Mu Lianyis body trembled while she asked with sobbing voice, Why? Why? Why are you doing this to me? Mu Lianyi then took two steps back and stood on the edge of the bottomless abyss. Dont be agitated, come over here. Come over here quickly. Wu Xinglie said and was about to rush over. Dont come over, or I will jump. Mu Lianyi screamed, Wu Xingwen, I trust you completely and I am willing to give you everything. Why are you doing this to me? Tell me! Tell me! Is it all for this Fire Chilling Pearl? Then I will destroy it, destroy it! Finishing her screaming, the irrational Mu Lianyi was about to throw the Fire Chilling Pearl down the abyss. No! Wu Xinglie yelled out, If you destroy it, then our happiness will truly be finished! Hmph! Mu Lianyi spoke in a cold voice, The two of us are already finished. Now tell me why are you doing this. Is this Fire Chilling Pearl worth it for you to act like a clown? S?a?ch* Th?

Chapter 146: Extremely Despicable, Using Wisdom to Defraud Wu Xingwen!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Wu Xingwen fell silent. Say it! Mu Lianyi screamed. I did everything for you! Wu Xingwen yelled out. Rumble... The surface of the ground suddenly trembled. A powerful force surged from the bottom of the abyss. For me? Mu Lianyi sneered and said, Wu Xingwen. Do you think I am some three-year-old child? I am going to take this Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl and exchange for my freedom. Wu Xingwen let out a miserable smile and said, I have said that once I have some accomplishments, I will come back and marry you as an illustrious individual. I have done it, by leading a thousand-men cavalry three days ago, wielding an artifact sword, wearing golden armor, and appearing in front of you. It is incomparably awe-inspiring and dazzling, but do you know the cost of it? I obtained all those by being a gigolo, by being a human pet for that frivolous and malicious widow from the Northwest Qin Clan. She recommended me to become a sword slave for the Qin Clans Young Lord; it was her who recommended me to become the Vice Commander of the Blazing Fire Cavalry. I used such despicable methods to exchange for my current status and glory. As soon as he finished explaining, Wu Xingwens sword dropped on the ground. It felt as though he was in despair and had lost sight of himself while his tears were overflowing. How did this happen? How did this happen? Mu Lianyi shivered. Hehe... I didnt want it to be like this either. I woke up one day and noticed that I was laying down beside that widow. They had given me an enormous amount of drugs, and she threatened that if I didnt comply with her, she would kill my parents and send someone to rape you. Wu Xingwen trembled as he spoke, What do you want me to do? What can I do? I complied with her, and she gave me everything. But, I have been thinking of all ways to escape from her, and now I finally have the chance. The number one prodigy of the Evil Dao, Temple of Bloods princess, Dugu Fengwu, had announced to the world that she required the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. She was willing to give everything in exchange for the pearl, that included the Evil Daos most evil and sacred, Evil Soul Art! After hearing this, Yang Dingtians heart shook for an instant, but his face remained emotionless. What did Dugu Fengwu want the Fire Chilling Pearl for? Did she also want to go to the Fire Cloud Devil Cave to forge her soul sword? While considering her age, it was just about time for her to forge her soul sword, as one had to take a few years to excavate enough blood black gold personally. Wu Xingwen continued, The Evil Soul Art is something that all the prestigious factions would be terror-stricken at upon hearing it. It is also very desirable to certain people at the same time. One of them is my master, the Qin Clans Young Lord. It just happened that he happened to find out that you have the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. Originally, the Qin Clans Young Lord was going to send someone to kill you and steal the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, but how could I bear to let him hurt you. Hence, I obtained a military order from him and asked him to let me handle the mission of obtaining the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. If I can get it and offer it to him, he would bestow me with freedom and no longer let that widow dominate me. I will then be able to marry you. But, if I cannot obtain the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, then... then I will be submitted to dismemberment. Upon hearing the word dismemberment, Mu Lianyis delicate body shivered. Then why didnt you tell me clearly? You knew that I would give anything to you. Why did you have to resort to such methods just to obtain the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl? Mu Lianyi responded. This time, she couldnt help but speak in a gentle voice. Wu Xingwen then revealed a miserable smile and said, If you are a man, would you be willing to be a good-for-nothing and ask for a treasure from the woman you love? I want to maintain my glorious and dazzling image in front of you. I would rather die than to show you my ugly and desperate side. Fool, you are really a fool... Mu Lianyi spoke with a sobbing voice, I love you as a person, not your status or your glory. I just want to live a peaceful and happy life. I love freedom, and I dislike glory. You should have asked me directly. I will immediately hand you the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl without any further question. Wu Xingwen shook his head and spoke in a mournful voice, Its too late, too late. I have already shown you my utterly ugly side. Everything is too late for me. There is no hope left for me. As he finished his words, Wu Xingwen picked up the sharp sword and suddenly drew it across his neck. ******************* Noo... Mu Lianyi cried out and immediately threw herself towards Wu Xingwen and snatched the sharp blade from his neck. She didnt even mind that the blade had sliced a wound on her hand. Mu Lianyu, dont go over! Yang Dingtian interrupted with a shout. I dont need your concern. Get lost! Mu Lianyi turned around and yelled at Yang Dingtian. Afterward, she gently stroked Wu Xingwens dashing face and said, Xingwen, nothing is too late for us. I dont care about your past. I will give you the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, and you can offer it to that dogshit Qin Clan Young Lord, then ask him to give back your freedom. We will then go to an uninhabited place to live the rest of our lives in bliss. As Mu Lianyi spoke, she pushed the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl into Wu Xingwens hand. S~?a??h the N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian, Im sorry. I have changed my mind. I will hand this Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl to the man that I have been waiting for five years, Mu Lianyi turned around and said to Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian let out a sigh. His eyes were looking towards the sky while he let out a bitter smile. Wu Xingwen received the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl while looking at Mu Lianyi with a complicated expression, before looking at the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl again. He shook his head and said, Lianyi, it is all too late, too late! As he spoke, he slowly took the sword from Mu Lianyis hand. Mu Lianyi cried and said, Its not too late. Its not too late. As long as we are mutually in love, nothing is too late. No, it is too late. Wu Xingwen said slowly, You have already seen my hideous side, so everything is too late. Wu Xingwen suddenly placed the sharp sword on Mu Lianyis neck. Mu Lianyi was utterly shocked. She didnt even know what had happened and was lost for words for a moment. Wu Xingwen sneered and said, You have seen my true hideous face. Hence, everything is too late. You have to die now. Subsequently, Wu Xingwen continued saying, Most of the things that I said earlier was true, but there was a portion that was false. I was a human pet for that Northwest Qin Clans widow, but I wasnt forced, as I did it willingly. In fact, I even begged for it. I served her like a dog and got her favor. I was able to achieve this meteoric rise because I was favored by her and obtained the position that I have today. Furthermore, I wanted this Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl for myself and not for the Qin Clans Young Lord. Because I want to use the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl to exchange the Evil Soul Art with Dugu Fengwu. For an instant, Mu Lianyi felt as though she was struck by a thunderbolt and lost all her senses. There is something else, I knew about it in advance that Tuoba Ye forced your marriage, but I didnt stop it because I wanted to get the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl through his hands. Of course, I had another plan. That was to appear as a savior when Tuoba Ye forced all of you into desperation and let you utterly fall in love with me. Wu Xingwen then said, I didnt expect for Yan Nantian to interrupt and foil my plan. He had taken away half of the limelight that I should have received for being the great savior. Mu Lianyi felt as though her life slowly returned, but her entire face had lost all vigor. She looked at Wu Xingwen and spoke softly, Then, why didnt you just ask for the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl from me? I didnt think you will give it to me. Wu Xingwen said, In fact, I tried hinting you, but you pretended that you didnt hear it. Mu Lianyi shook her head and said, I dont even know when did you hint me. But as long as you said you want the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, I would have given it to you. At this moment, Wu Xingwen was startled. He sighed and said, After staying in the dark for such a long time, I have already assumed that everyone was similarly sinister. I judged people based on my own emotions and assumed that you would never hand over such a treasure to anyone. Thus, I stalked you in the dark and waited for you to come and take the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl; I will then snatch it away with my mask on. It was originally flawless, but when I heard Yang Dingtians name, I was shocked for a moment and forgot to conceal my voice and revealed a flaw. I am here for two objectives. The first is to obtain the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. The second is to look for Yang DIngtian and kill him. Who would have expected that I could kill two birds with one stone? Hence, when you screamed out Yang Dingtians name, how could I not be excited and forget about everything? Yang Dingtian couldnt help but say, I didnt expect myself to be of such importance. Wu Xingwen said, You have utterly crippled Qin Shaobai. Right now, the Northwest Qin Clan has put you on a wanted list. Whoever that was able to bring your head back to the Qin Clan Head could become a son-in-law for the Qin Clan and marry the Qin Clan Heads fourth daughter. How could I not be mad for that? Mu Lianyi let out a desolated smile and said, You are going crazy just because you can marry Northwest Qin Clans Fourth Young Lady? Of course. Wu Xingwen said, In terms of looks, she isnt inferior to you. In terms of status, she might just be a daughter of a concubine, but her status is still hundreds and thousands fold nobler than you. Any man in the world would know which to choose. Of course, with regards to you, it will always be a throb in my head, a memory that I will never be able to wipe off. But everything is too late now. I have already taken off my pretense and revealed my hideous face. Mu Lianyi instantly laughed with despair and said, Yes, it is too late. Your hideousness has shown how foolish I am. Then, what are you going to do? Wu Xingwen said, Since I have already ripped off my pretense, then I will be shameless to the end. I am going to kill Yang Dingtian and claim my reward at the Northwest Qin Clan and marry the Qin Clans Fourth Young Lady. As for you, I will take you as my concubine, as my mistress, or even a servant. You have a great figure that I have been craving for a long time. Mu Lianyi laughed with despair again. Then, what if I dont agree? Wu Xingwen replied, I will use your fathers life to threaten you. Mu Lianyi laughed as she vomited fresh blood. She looked at Yang Dingtian and said, Yang Dingtian, Young Lord... How foolish can I be? Why am I so foolish? I must be blind. My eyes must be utterly blind... Young Lord, I will serve you as a slave in my next life and repay your kindness to me. For this life, would you please forgive for my rude behavior earlier, As she finished her statement, Mu Lianyi suddenly raised her palm to slam on her forehead, and she wanted to kill herself resolutely. Bang! But, before her palm could hit on her forehead, Wu Xingwen chopped her from behind and knocked Mu Lianyi out before tossing her to the side. Now, it is time to settle you. Wu Xingwen gently swung his sword and spoke to Yang Dingtian, I am a five-star Great Mystic Martial Master. I am not going to use any mystic skills and just thrust at your head. Do you think I can kill you in three moves? Yang Dingtian spread his hands and replied, Of course you can. I have yet to recover fully, and I dont even have half my mystic qi. A single move is more than enough for you to kill me. Yang Dingtian didnt speak an ounce of lies. Wu Xingwen was viciously intelligent, and if he really wanted to kill Yang Dingtian, there would be no chance of mistake. Then, lets begin. Wu Xingwen sneered and said, I will allow you to make a move first and let you die as a hero. Yang Dingtian wielded the sharp sword and said, There are two scenarios. Would the rewards be better if you bring my head back or if you capture me back alive and offer to the Qin Clan Head? Of course it would be to capture you alive, Wu Xingwen said. Alright then, I surrender, Yang Dingtian replied and threw his sword on the ground. Wu Xingwen couldnt help but got a shock. He then laughed loudly and said, Everyone praised Yang Dingtian as a great hero, and that he was fearless of death. But it is certainly better to see for oneself than to listen to rumors, uh? Who would have thought Yang Dingtian to be a man who is only interested in saving his own neck? Being alive is definitely better than being dead. Yang Dingtian laughed and said, Furthermore, I want to make a deal with you. Haha... Wu Xingwen laughed loudly again and said, With the current you? What can you deal with me? If I didnt guess it wrong, you are going to take this Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl and exchange it for the Evil Soul Art with Dugu Fengwu, right? Yang Dingtian asked. So what if it is? Wu Xingwen laughed and said, But just because you know this secret, you will have to die, Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian smiled and replied, Are you going to deal with Dugu Fengwu? Do you think it will be successful? There is a 100% chance that once you hand over the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, Dugu Fengwu will dismember you into pieces. Back at the Willow Silk Manor, Dugu Fengwu killed hundreds of people in front of my and Dongfang Bingling. At Land of Chaos, simply because her little sister got slightly bullied, she slaughtered the whole town that had thousands of people. Do you think a demon woman like her would deal with you according to the rules? Once Yang Dingtian said this, Wu Xingwens face changed abruptly. Yang Dingtian spoke with the finest details. If Qin Huaiyu were the one dealing with Dugu Fengwu, it might be successful, because Qin Huaiyus cultivation was around the same level as Dugu Fengwu. But if Wu Xingwen were to deal himself, it would surely be seeking for death. So what? Wu Xingwen suddenly laughed heartily, You have reminded me that I should simply hand this Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl to Young Lord Qin and you to Qin Clan Head. This way, I will definitely be able to marry the Qin Clans Fourth Young Lady. Thank you very much. You are welcome. Yang Dingtian smiled lightly and said, But... if you had a choice. Between the Evil Soul Art and becoming the son-in-law of the Qin Clan. Which will you choose? Wu Xingwens face turned as he smiled and said, Rubbish. Of course, it is the Evil Soul Art. It is one of the supreme arts of the world, and with it, I will become incomparably strong. What beauty or authority will I not be able to obtain? But didnt you mention that with my strength, it would be impossible to obtain the Evil Soul Art from Dugu Fengwu? You might not be able to get it by dealing with her. Yang Dingtian spoke indifferently, But if you deal with me, you can obtain the Evil Soul Art! Once Wu Xingwen heard this, his expression drastically changed. Chapter 147 Chapter 147: I Will Let You Wish You Were Dead! Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Hahahaha... Immediately after, Wu Xingwen laughed loudly and said, Who do you think you are? You have the Evil Soul Art, stop dreaming... Wu Xingwen retorted with absolute disbelief. Just as Yang Dingtian was about to say something, there were sounds of galloping hoofs coming from below the mountain. Those riders were also yelling out at the same time. Wu Xingwens expression changed, as he immediately knocked Yang Dingtian out with a palm strike to the back of Yang Dingtians head. Yang Dingtian had just recovered from his injuries, and only less than half of his mystic qi had been recovered. Seeing how Wu Xingwen suddenly turned hostile and executed his palm strike, Yang Dingtian immediately burst in retreat. He was still hit by the powerful mystic qi blast on his head, causing him to blackout and instantly losing consciousness. ******************************************** When Yang Dingtian woke up again, he was already inside of a prison. The entire prison was dark and damp, which was only the size of around ten square meters. Thick walls surrounded it, and the gate was made of pure metal that was a few inches thick. Ah, ah... Suddenly, there was this voice, which sounded as if it were in pain, and in a daze, it was a voice that sounded familiar. Its Mu Lianyis voice. Yang Dingtian quickly leaned on the wall and forcefully banged on it while saying, Mu Lianyi, is that you? Crackle... A small window was instantly opened up on the wall. A handsome face appeared at the window, and it was Wu Xinglie or also known as Wu Xingwen. Yang Dingtian, you have finally woke up. I have been waiting for a long time. Wu Xingwen said, I am going to perform a show for you. Finishing his statement, Wu Xingwen pointed at Mu Lianyi, who was on a bed. The current Mu Lianyi had a flushed expression and dazzled eyes. It was apparent that this beast had drugged Mu Lianyi. You drugged her? What kind of drug is it? Yang Dingtian asked. Thats right. It is a very potent and very incredible drug. One that can cause a person to lose all rationality, one that can allow me to do whatever I desire, Wu Xingwen sneered. You were once in love. Why are you doing such despicable things to her? Yang Dingtian asked with an angry voice. Wu Xingwen laughed grimly and said, Since I have already torn off the pretense, do I still have to pretend that I have affection for her? Isnt it too tedious and senseless? Subsequently, he walked over to the side of Mu Lianyis bed while staring at her beautiful face. Back then, I was too silly and foolishly self-abased. After I got together with her, I didnt even dare to hold her hands. Otherwise, she would have already belonged to me now. Wu Xingwen laughed and said, Yang Dingtian, you dont want to let Mu Lianyi suffer such a horrifying fate, right? You just have to answer a question for me. As long as you answer it, I will release Mu Lianyi. What question? Yang Dingtian asked. Where is Ximen Yanyan? Of course, I am asking on behalf of Qin Clans Young Lord. You too should know that he had been craving for your wife. Wu Xingwen said, He is actually drooling over for her. I already know about Ximen Yanyans reputational beauty, and all men dream of having a woman of unmatched beauty like her. You dont have the capability to possess a woman like her. Even if Yang Dingtian answered that she was in the Sea of Hades, he believed that the Qin Clans Young Lord didnt have the capability to take Yanyan away from the Sea of Hades. But Yang Dingtian wasnt going to say it, as it would be of utmost humiliation and the greatest betrayal to Yanyan even though it would be a betrayal that no one would know of. Seeing that Yang Dingtian was not determined to speak, Wu Xingwen smiled and reached out to caress Mu Lianyis face, while his eyes grew intensively evil. Such beauty is going to be tainted by me soon. What a pity, Wu Xingwen said while laughing. His hands slipped down towards Mu Lianyis collar and were about to undo her skintight clothes. Kill me, hurry up and kill me. Young Lord, kill me... Even though her consciousness was blurred, Mu Lianyi instinctively yelled out. Dont let this bastard touch me. Kill me quickly, Mu Lianyi constantly screamed. Right now, Wu Xingwen turned to look at Yang Dingtian and said, I cannot endure it anymore. I am giving you the last chance. Answer my question... Where is Ximen Yanyan hiding now? I will count to three, and if you dont answer, I cannot guarantee Mu Lianyis chastity anymore. Three! Two! One! Wu Xingwen started his countdown, and it was about to end soon. You dont have to answer anymore. I cannot take it anymore. I want to take her now! Wu Xingwen yelled out and grabbed Mu Lianyis collar, tugging on it violently. Hold on! Yang Dingtian suddenly shouted out. Wu Xingwen laughed grimly and said, You want to tell me where is Ximen Yanyan hiding now? Too late, I dont want to know it anymore. Yang Dingtian spoke loudly, Wu Xingwen, are you not interested in the deal that I proposed earlier? You know the power of the Evil Soul Art, right? It is the evilest and most powerful cultivation art in the world. As long as you have the Evil Soul Art, you will be able to kill the strongest enemies you encounter instantly. You dont have to serve under anyone, and you can rise to an even higher status. Wu Xingwens body shivered as he took a breath and sneered. I am very much interested in the Evil Soul Art, but do you think me as a fool? You merely composed such a lie to cheat me. The Evil Soul Art is the evil sacred art of the Temple of Blood. Who are you? How can you have it? I have gone to the Temple of Blood previously. Dugu Xiao forcefully injected the Evil Soul Art into my mind and attempted to corrupt me with it, Yang Dingtian explained. That is even more ridiculous. Wu Xingwen laughed and said, If you knew the Evil Soul Art, you could use it to kill me instantly. Why say all this nonsense with me? Why look on as I humiliate Mu Lianyi? Why do you even bother falling into my hands? Yang Dingtian replied, I do not wish to be corrupted. Hence, I didnt even use it when I was in the most crucial moment during the duel with Qin Shaobai. I didnt use it in the past. I will not use it now. I will not use it in the future too. Yang Dingtian, dont brag too much. If you are so noble and determined, you wouldnt cling onto your life and surrender willingly. Wu Xingwen said, I will believe that you have the Evil Soul Art if the sun rises from the west. Or unless the water flows in the opposite direction, or if I turn back into an upright gentleman. I am going to start enjoying Mu Lianyi now, and you keep your mouth shut. Immediately after, Wu Xingwen pounced at Mu Lianyi. This is the soul tool ring which Li Tianxiao wore in the past. You can see if its real or fake, Yang Dingtian finished his words and immediately took out the soul tool ring. In fact, he took out that soul tool from his spatial ring, that incomparably evil and powerful soul tool ring. **************************************** Once the soul tool ring was taken out, the surrounding temperature immediately dropped by several degrees. It felt as though there were howlings from countless malicious spirits by the ear, and as though there were cryings from countless vengeful spirits. This gloomy and cold presence immediately eliminated all the lust that was in Wu Xingwens body. Wu Xingwens face instantly changed as he looked at the soul tool ring on Yang Dingtians hand with disbelief. It was obvious that he felt the mystical and horrors of this ring. Yang Dingtian didnt hesitate and immediately placed the soul tool ring on the small window. He said, Take it, then. Wu Xingwen was stunned, and his body shivered as he responded, Are you really giving it to me? Of course, said Yang Dingtian, as he immediately looked away. Wu Xingwen was stunned for a few minutes before he quickly flew over to grab that soul tool ring. He instantly felt a chilling sensation in his body, as his face turned ghastly pale, while his eyes were in disorder. It was apparent that he already felt that powerful puppet battle soul within the soul tool, and the impact of the countless vengeful spirits. It was needless to say that this was truly a soul tool ring. A single touch would make one feel it. It wouldnt work with just this soul tool. You have to learn the Soul Assimilating Art and the Soul Burst Art. Yang Dingtian said, Even if you have the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, I dont think you dare to go deal with Dugu Fengwu, right? She is very formidable and is raised in the Evil Dao. She would most likely crush you with a single finger. So, you can only hand the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl obediently to Qin Clans Young Lord and take your pitiful reward. You must want the Evil Soul Art, right? You must even be dreaming about it in your sleep. Right now, that opportunity is in front of you. Lets deal. Deal? How are we going to deal? Wu Xingwen was obviously hooked away by the sudden appearance of the Evil Soul Art and the soul tool, which caused his earlier shrewdness and farsight to vanish. I dont want Evil Soul Art. What I want is the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. Yang Dingtian said, So, you will give me the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, and I will teach you the Evil Soul Art. This is the reason why I surrendered myself because I want to have this deal with you. Impossible. You are my prisoner, and you are not qualified to talk about the conditions with me. Wu Xingwen sneered and said, Furthermore, why didnt you propose this at the Ecstacy Cliff yesterday night? Why are you only proposing it now? Is there a trick in this? Thats because the Evil Soul Art requires a powerful individual as an experiment. I need to absorb his spirit soul to prove that my Evil Soul Art is the real thing. But on the Ecstacy Cliff yesterday night, there were only me and Mu Lianyi. I was afraid that you might use Mu Lianyi as an experiment, Yang Dingtian explained. Immediately after, Yang Dingtian spoke again, Now, hand over the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl to me, I will teach you the Evil Soul Art immediately. Wu Xingwen scoffed and said, Arent you afraid that once you teach me the Evil Soul Art, I would still kill you. Since you are still in my hands? That is such a danger, but I dont have any other way but to take the risk. Yang Dingtian spoke gently, Moreover, after obtaining the Evil Soul Art, you will not willingly be a slave of the Northwest Qin Clan, and we can cooperate. I might have lost the Cloud Heaven City, but you know that I have a powerful ability on me, and I also control the Black Blood Cavalry. I, too, have an esteemed status, which I can use to give you many things. Wu Xingwens expression had a slight change, and it was obvious that he was tempted. I agree with the deal, but I cannot hand you the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl now. Wu Xingwen said, I know that the Evil Soul Art is separated into the Soul Assimilating Art and the Soul Burst Art. You have first to teach me the Soul Assimilating Art and prove that it was flawless. I will then hand you the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, and you will teach me the Soul Burst Art. Yang Dingtian fell into silence. A few minutes later, he lifted his head and replied, Deal. You should capture a formidable subordinate first. Seal his mystic meridians, and I will teach you the Evil Soul Art. You can then try to see if you can extract the puppet battle soul. Wu Xingwens desire had completely vanished as he sprinted out and said, Wait for me. I will be back quickly. ********************************************* Around ten minutes later, Wu Xingwen really dragged down an expert from the Blazing Fire Cavalry. This officer from the Blazing Fire Cavalry had his mystic meridians sealed up and was completely immobilized. But his consciousness and mind were very clear, and his mystic qi had not suffered any damage at all too. When Wu Xingwen dragged the officer down, the officer had eyes that were filled with puzzles and fear. Now, listen to me carefully. I will impart the Evil Soul Art to you, and I will also tell you the mystic qi circulation route, said Yang Dingtian. Alright, please do so... Wu Xingwen replied, Once you teach me the Evil Soul Art, we will be allies. Yang Dingtian closed his eyes and started to recite every single sentence and word of the Evil Soul Art. Just like the crazy words from the ghosts in the depths of hell, yet like the shouts from the devil in the nine heavens above. Just like the horrifying echos in the crevice of darkness, yet like the release of the darkest corners in a humans heart. As Yang Dingtian recited the Evil Soul Arts Soul Assimilating Art, the surrounding air turned cold, and the light turned dim. Finally, the entire prison was echoing with the wailing of countless malicious spirits. All the candles felt as though it was being restrained by ghosts and was getting dimmer and darker! Over ten minutes later, Yang Dingtian recited the first portion of the evilest and most complex Evil Soul Art to Wu Xingwen. Have you remembered it? Yang Dingtian asked. I have remembered it, responded Wu Xingwen. He was indeed a genius and only required once to remember the whole mnemonic chant. Then try it. Try it on the officer that has his mystic meridians sealed. See if you can extract his puppet battle soul, Yang Dingtian proposed. Yes, replied Wu Xingwen. Subsequently, Wu Xingwen sat cross-legged and held up the soul tool ring before he began executing the Soul Assimilating Art. His mouth was reciting the terrifyingly evil curse, while the sinister mystic qi started to circulate in his body. Wu Xingwens voice grew louder and louder. Chilling and evil wind blew by. That Blazing Fire Cavalrys expert who had been immobilized slowly floated in midair. His eyes were filled with panic and fear. Huff... Dark energy vigorously surged out from Wu Xingwens body and penetrated the experts body. Like a Ghost of Impermanence, this dark energy hooked onto the battle soul of the Blazing Fire Cavalry expert and pulled it out bit by bit. S?a??h th? N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian saw the most strange scene in history. Streaks of black qi presence and streaks of transparent ghostly material flew out from the soul tool ring: ones, tens, hundreds. A few hundred transparent green human-shaped ghosts floated around the expert from the Blazing Fire Cavalry. They were all laughing malevolently and shrieking in sharp voices. Finally, all the spirits vigorously pounced on that expert, his spirit soul instantly distorted and elongated. Countless spirit claws grabbed onto the experts spirit soul, tearing it apart in a frenzy. This Blazing Fire Cavalry officer had sunk into extreme fear and insanity. Ahhh... His mouth was wide opened, but he couldnt let out any voice. All his mystic meridians were sealed up, and he was completely immobilized. But right now, he was trembling nonstop. Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish... As the spirits were howling, countless ghost claw pulled out a white shadow from the experts body. This was the puppet battle soul, which had separated from the body of the officer. After pulling out the puppet battle soul, the spirits were all dancing and shrieking proudly. Swish... Finally, these spirits grabbed onto the puppet battle soul, and vigorously tore it out from the experts body before entering the soul tool ring. This scene not only shocked Wu Xingwen, but it had also utterly shocked Yang Dingtian. Such horror!. It had truly consumed a humans soul. Chapter 148: Wu Xingwen’s Destruction! Chapter 148: Wu Xingwens Destruction!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Howl... An extremely mournful ghost howled! The flesh of this Blazing Fire Cavalrys expert was instantly dried up like a mummy. He wasnt dead yet, but his eyes had lost all life, and his muscular body had shrunk to less than half of the original size, as though he was a ghost. The Evil Soul Art was truly the evilest and most malicious evil art. **************** After successfully extracting the officers puppet battle soul, Wu Xingwen slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with ecstasy. His eyes looked as though they were blazing flames. It is the real thing, right? Now you should hand over the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, Yang Dingtian stated. Wu Xingwens body was still trembling with excitement, but he didnt try to negotiate. He immediately took out the box containing the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl and passed it over through the small window. Feeling a cooling sensation once Yang Dingtian received the box, he immediately opened it. There was really this fantasy looking pearl resting in it, which was permeating with boundless chilling energy. It was the authentic Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. Yang Dingtian had spent a lot of effort just because of this Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. Right now, it was finally resting in his hands. After keeping the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl into the box, Yang Dingtian kept the box into his belongings, which was already placed inside the spatial ring. Right now, the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl completely belonged to Yang Dingtian, and no one else could take it away from him. Wu Xingwen said, Now, you should fulfill the other part of the deal and teach me the Soul Burst Art. Yang Dingtian nodded and said, Next, you have to prepare yourself, for I will teach you the Soul Burst Art. This is the most crucial part of the Evil Soul Art, and with the Soul Burst Art, you can instantly kill any expert in the world. Wu Xingwen closed his eyes and focused his concentration with his eyes pricked up. Yang Dingtian closed his eyes again as he recited every sentence and word. S?a?ch* Th? N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Boom Boom Boom... Every inch of the air started to exploded inch by inch. Ahhh... Ahhh... Ahhh... The prison was filled with countless ghosts that were screaming and letting out dreadful shrieks. Bang... Bang... Bang... Every candle in prison started to burst open. ********************** Fifteen minutes later, Yang Dingtians voice stopped, and so did the surrounding air and the countless exploding noises of the spirits. It felt as though an apocalypse had ended. Can you remember it? Yang Dingtian asked. I have, Wu Xingwen replied. Yang Dingtian said, Now, you can go find another expert and test the Soul Burst Art and see if you can instantly kill him. If you can, it proves that you have learned the Soul Burst Art, and you can let us go. There is no need, Yang Dingtian. Wu Xingwen smiled and said, I trust you. You better try it. Yang Dingtian said, Otherwise, this deal isnt considered complete. Alright, then. Wu Xingwen lifted his head to look at Yang Dingtian, revealing a bizarre smile and said, But there is no need to find someone else to try it. I will try it on you, Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtians expression changed as he said, You, what do you mean? Be a man of words and finish this to the end. I will use the Soul Burst Art to kill you instantly. Wu Xingwen smiled and answered. Yang Dingtians body shuddered as he said, You, you are despicable! What benefit is there for you? Between you and me, we are better at cooperating than in disagreement. I can give you many things. Thats right; it is better for us to cooperate. Wu Xingwen sneered and said, But there is one important thing that you forgot. I want to keep this Evil Soul Art a secret and dont want anyone in the world to know it. Since you know about it, you have to die. Yang Dingtians entire body was trembling, and he was speechless. In this case, Yang Dingtian, you can rest in peace now. I will continue to ravage Mu Lianyi every single day, every single moment, Wu Xingwen sneered and said. He then raised the soul tool ring and recited the mnemonic chant while circulating his mystic qi. Boom, Boom, Boom... The air began to explode. Bang Bang Bang... Flames began to burst out. Wuu Wuu... Aooo Aooo... Countless spirit started to wail. Swish Swish Swish Swish... Countless spirits flew out of the ring and formed a giant and strange energy formation. Finally, a formidable puppet battle soul appeared in the energy formation. Bizarre, severe, ghost, cry... destroy destroy destroy! Die...! Wu Xingwen let out a severe roar. All the puppet battle soul in the soul tool burst out, forming this incomparably vengeful spirit energy, which struck out like lightning. Ahhh... There was a bizarre wail. The puppet battle soul drew across the air in a horrifying trajectory, before suddenly turning back and rushing at Wu Xingwen. Ahhh... There was a shriek of a malicious spirit. The puppet battle soul vigorously dove into Wu Xingwens mind. Bang... Ahhh... Wu Xingwen let out a miserable scream of fear, shock, and horror before he shot a complicated expression at Yang Dingtian. He couldnt believe that Yang Dingtian actually used this method to stage a comeback. Of course, Wu Xingwen could only maintain his expression for a split moment. One moment later, Wu Xingwens consciousness, mind, willpower were all instantly turned into ashes. His proud and sinister smile, which was on his face, had turned into despair and fear. If it were just that puppet battle soul from that Blazing Fire Cavalry expert, it wouldnt be enough to destroy Wu Xingwen. Still, in the soul tool ring, there was an extremely powerful puppet soul spirit, so powerful that even ten Wu Xingwen would be instantly destroyed like trash. Thats right. Yang Dingtian did give the soul tool ring and the Soul Assimilating Art to Wu Xingwen. He also let Wu Xingwen witness the prowess of the Evil Soul Art. But for the final Soul Burst Art, Yang Dingtian modified it slightly. He changed the target from the enemy into the practitioner, allowing the puppet battle soul free will to attack and turn into a backlash! Of course, if it were someone who had just learned the Evil Soul Art, they would be unable to modify it. Because this sinister and mystical evil art was extremely complex, and a slight modification might cause the evil art to collapse completely. But, Yang Dingtians proficiency towards the Evil Soul Art was exactly the same as the Temple of Bloods Master, Dugu Xiao. Dugu Xiao had forcefully poured all the research and study that he did on the Evil Soul Art into Yang Dingtians mind. Yang Dingtian understood every detail, every consequence, and every circulation route to extreme mastery. Dugu Xiao was a Great Devil and a prodigy blessed by heaven. He was able to conduct modifications to the Evil Soul Art, which meant that Yang Dingtian could do it too. So, just like that, Yang Dingtian enticed Wu Xingwen to take the bait and ultimately destroy himself. Of course, Wu Xingwen did expect that Yang Dingtian might play a trick, but he believed that the mystical Evil Soul Art was extremely powerful. He believed that someone like Yang Dingtian wouldnt be able to do any tricks on an incomparably evil art. Furthermore, the Evil Soul Art was a fatal temptation to him, and he wasnt willing to wait a minute more. Just like that, under Yang Dingtians control, Wu Xingwen had destroyed himself, turning from an unmatched sinister, crafty, and intelligent person, into a completely idiotic and useless person. Those who were killed by the Evil Soul Art wouldnt truly die but would suffer a more horrific and agonizing fate because they would completely turn into a walking corpse and would listen to any command. Hence, those who possessed the Evil Soul Art would be able to command an army of corpses. Evil Soul Art was the most malicious and powerful evil art! Thats right, the most malicious. It wouldnt allow you to have an instant death but instead would turn you into a ghoul. Yang Dingtian looked at Wu Xingwen, who had turned into a ghoul and sighed before saying, Master, I didnt use the Evil Soul Art, and I didnt get corrupted. I simply let him corrupt himself and destroy himself. I promise you that I will never truly use the Evil Soul Art, and I will not be corrupted in this lifetime. I will not let Dugu Xiao win. Thats right, Yang Dingtian only recited the Evil Soul Art earlier and didnt circulate any mystic qi. He didnt make contact with the soul tool ring, which contained the spirits and the puppet battle soul. Hence, he wasnt corrupted. Open the door! Yang Dingtian ordered. The puppet Wu Xingwen walked forward and pressed on the mechanism. Rumble... A metallic door, which was over five thousand kilograms, was instantly opened. Yang Dingtian walked out of prison and walked in front of Mu Lianyis prison cell. He walked in after activating the mechanism. Young Lord... I cant take it anymore... Just as Yang Dingtian walked in, Mu Lianyi pounced at him. The drugs in her body were at the limits and had completely ruined her rationality. Yang Dingtian naturally wouldnt take advantage of the situation. He immediately pressed her down and stabbed at various parts of her blood veins, allowing fresh blood to flow out, which temporarily suppressed her down. Immediately after, he made her consume a type of chilly elixir, which made her faint, suppressing the drugs in her body. As expected, after consuming the elixir, Mu Lianyis body gradually cooled down before she went into a deep sleep. Immediately after, Yang Dingtian took off the armor from the Blazing Fire Cavalry officer and wore it. He then helped Mu Lianyi with tidying up her clothes and put on plenty of concealment before putting her on his shoulder. Walk forward, Yang Dingtian ordered Wu Xingwen, who was now a ghoul. Wu Xingwen instinctively walked forward, while Yang Dingtian carried Mu Lianyi and followed behind while wearing the officers attire. Just like that, Yang Dingtian strutted out of prison. This place was actually one of the castles that belonged to the Raging Flames Castle, and Wu Xingwen had temporarily occupied it. The Raging Flames Castle was indeed colluding with the Northwest Qin Clan. When they were walking on the surface of the castle, all the cavalrymen would bow with respect when they saw Wu Xingwen. Wu Xingwen didnt give them any regards and simply walked out along with Yang Dingtian, who was in the officers attire. Although some were curious why their commander Wu Xingwun had a retarded and strange expression, they didnt dare to question much and just understood it as him feeling fatigued after playing with his woman. As for the officer carrying the woman behind, there was no need for any explanation. After walking out of the castle, Yang Dingtian asked for a carriage and loaded Wu Xingwen and Mu Lianyi into the carriage. He then steered the carriage and rushed towards the direction of the Mu Clan Docks. Chapter 149: Going North! Demon Woman! Chapter 149: Going North! Demon Woman!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales On the next day, Mu Lianyi had woken up. Yang Dingtian officially bade farewell to the Mu Clans father and daughter. He was preparing to set forth for the northwest continents Fire Cloud Devil Cave and start the most important process of forging his soul sword. The current Mu Lianyi looked like a completely different person. Her natural and wild nature had this rare gentle look on her face, as she was the only one who sent Yang Dingtian out of Mu Clan Docks. Mu Liancheng originally wanted to go up north together and look for Ximen Lie, but Yang Dingtian stopped him. Yang Dingtian didnt want to disrupt their peaceful life, and if they were to follow Yang Dingtians Black Blood Cavalry, they would be living a life without a fixed residence as they had to be always on the move. Of course, this reason wasnt enough to convince Mu Liancheng. Yang Dingtian told Mu Liancheng that the Mu Clan Docks had much more to contribute to the Cloud Heaven City, as this was a strategic point for information, and it was also their final place to retreat to. Finally, Mu Liancheng was convinced. **************** Young Lord, I want to go north with you. Mu Lianyi suddenly said, I have many uses and can do anything. Yang Dingtian shook his head and said, A male and female have their differences. It isnt convenient. Mu Lianyi clenched her teeth and spoke in a soft voice, I am willing to be a servant to Young Lord. Yang Dingtian was quite surprised. Just two days ago, Mu Lianyi repeatedly said that she wanted to be a person with freedom and wanted to sever all ties with the Cloud Heaven City. But now, she actually proposed herself to be a servant? You are such a captivating person, and you have your own thoughts. Becoming a servant is such a waste of talent, Yang Dingtian smiled and replied. Mu Lianyi fell in silence and spoke in a soft voice after a short moment, The freedom that I mentioned included the freedom of wanting to serve Young Lord. Why is that so? Is it to repay your gratitude? Yang Dingtian asked. Mu Lianyi shook her head and said, I already mentioned this before. Gratitude and feelings are just one-sided. The reason Im acting like this is that my heart had completely died yesterday, but you managed to bring it back to life. Yang Dingtian kept silent and said, I mentioned this as well. You are a beautiful girl with sex appeal enough to captivate any man in the world. But I already have a wife, and I owe her too much. I cannot disappoint her. Mu Lianyis face dimmed as she raised her head and spoke in a gentle voice, I understand. Wu Xingwen. How are you going to settle him? Yang Dingtian still asked the question about Wu Xingwen, who had turned into a zombie. He was now being locked up in the Mu Clan Docks firewood room, and Yang Dingtian had given Mu Lianyi the authority to handle Wu Xingwen since he was once her lover. I will disfigure his face so that no one can recognize him and feed him at home like feeding a retarded person. Mu Lianyi replied and immediately smiled. Actually, my feelings towards him are very strange, and we were just different when we were young. I actually know very little about him, and it is just my own wishful thinking, as though I was trying to find a person to entrust my feelings to. Yang Dingtian smiled and indicated that he understood. He then said, Once I leave, you and Uncle Mu should go to Wooden Sword Castle. Even though Wu Xingwen is just a sword slave who would probably be disregarded by the Northwest Qin Clan, it is still better to be cautious. Eh, I understand, Mu Lianyi replied. You dont have to send me any more. You should go back. I will be on my way now, Yang Dingtian stated and was about to mount the horse. Hold on, Big Brother Yan, Mu Lianyi suddenly shouted. Subsequently, she dove into Yang Dingtians embrace and hugged his waist tightly for a moment before releasing him. Farewell, Young Lord. Farewell. Yang Dingtian mounted the horse and galloped to the north. **************** As Yang Dingtian traveled through day and night, he spent five days and nights to travel 4,000+ miles. He traveled from the southernmost part to the northernmost part of the southwest continent. The Fire Cloud Devil Cave was situated in the southeast of the northwest continent, to reach that place, they would have to travel thousands of miles in the vast sea. On the docks by the sea, there were plenty of ships docked there. It was needless to say that all these ships were heading to the northwest continent, and basically, any ship could get you there. Yang Dingtian picked the largest ship among the fleet. The crossing of the sea would require around three days, and by the time Yang Dingtian arrive at the northwest continent, it should be the 19th of the First Month, which meant that it would be seven days left before the bursting of the coal-seam fire in the Fire Cloud Devil Cave. Amid the journey, he still had to borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer from the Divine Weapons Manor. Time might be pressing, but he should still be able to make it. After boarding the ship, Yang Dingtian spent a bit more money to find the right spot to settle down. Right now, he had ordinary looks and presented himself to be reclusive and reticent, as he wouldnt converse with anyone. This ship was boarded by a few hundred individuals, with a mix of men and women. Aside from the wandering martial artists, there were quite a few wealthy figures who brought along their families, and there were even children. In short, this ship had comparatively more average people. This was also the reason why Yang Dingtian picked this ship. Lesser martial artists would mean lesser trouble. The ship was quickly filled up, and with a shout from the boatswain, the ship was preparing to depart. Wait up. Suddenly there was a clear and pleasant voice that came from the shore. Yang Dingtians heart nearly jumped out, as this voice was very familiar. Even if Yang Dingtian only had heard this voice once, he would never be able to forget it. S?a?ch* Th? Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. As this voice was just too unique, which sounded prideful but didnt lack any grace, it was cold yet didnt lack any tenderness from a woman. Yang Dingtian had heard this voice during the wedding in darkness. This voice was the voice of the princess from the Temple of Blood. The number one beauty of the Evil Dao, and the number one prodigy of the Evil Dao, Dugu Fengwu. It couldnt be her, right? It mustnt be her! Because of Dugu Xiao, Dugu Fengwu assumed that Yang Dingtian took her chastity, hence she was in pursuit of finding Yang Dingtian. If she knew that Yang Dingtian was on this ship, he wouldnt be able to keep his life. Immediately after, a figure flew towards the ship rapidly. It wasnt Dugu Fengwus face as it was a man and a rather handsome man. But when compared to Dugu Fengwu, it was drastically inferior. Yang Dingtian instantly let out a breath of relief. When the handsome youth boarded the ship, he frowned slightly as though he wasnt satisfied with the people on the ship. But he didnt hurry on making way to his cabin and scanned every face closely instead. As though she was trying to find someone. Soon enough, the handsome youth walked past Yang Dingtian. In an instant, Yang Dingtians heart raced! It couldnt be wrong. It was her. It was Dugu Fengwu. She was dressed up like a man and had concealed her absolutely beautiful face. But her unique fragrance didnt change, and after taking a closer look at how she walked, which was confident and graceful, it was indeed Dugu Fengwu. Her eyes flashed like lightning as she looked closely at everyones face, especially their eyes. Everyone that she looked at couldnt help but squirm as her eyes truly had a sting. She must really be looking for Yang Dingtian; she had really begun her endless pursuit. Right now, the ship had departed and was traveling towards the north. Right now, it was too late for Yang Dingtian to jump off the ship and was destined to dangerously stay on the same ship with Dugu Fengwu. Right at this moment, Dugu Fengwus eyes landed on Yang Dingtian like a lightning bolt. Yang Dingtians heart jumped for a moment and nearly couldnt breathe anymore. Fortunately, he was wearing his mask, while his eyes were fatigued and indifferent, making it difficult to spot any flaws. Dugu Fengwus eyes were still on Yang Dingtians face, and he wondered if she recognized any familiar presence. Yang Dingtian felt that it was getting dangerous and no longer lowered his head to avoid her eyes; otherwise, she would truly be suspicious. Yang Dingtian took a risk and raised his head, glaring back at Dugu Fengwu and spoke in a dissatisfied tone, What are you looking at? It was a special accent that was common in the southwest continent. After Dugu Fengwu stared for a moment, she finally shifted her eyes away. Yang Dingtian didnt dare to let out a relieved sigh and continued to glare at her, because this was the logical reaction. Finally, Dugu Fengwu finished examining everyone. Yang Dingtian let out a breath of relief his heart. He knew that an absolute beauty like her, who was like a fairy, wouldnt be patient enough to stay with all the people here. She was definitely going to have a single cabin for herself. But soon enough, Yang Dingtian was disappointed, as Dugu Fengwu was staying in the main cabin. Furthermore, she located a higher position and sat down, far from everyone else, while her eyes continued to scan everyone. Yang Dingtians heart went cold, as this was a nerve-wracking situation. They were going to travel for three days and nights over the sea, and Yang Dingtian had to be in the constant company of Dugu Fengwu, who would only be pleased after killing himself. This was truly a nerve-wracking situation. Through Wu Xingwen, Yang Dingtian knew that Dugu Fengwu was going to forge her soul sword and had announced to the world that she would use the Evil Soul Art to exchange for the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. Would it be possible that Dugu Fengwus current destination was also the Fire Cloud Devil Cave, which would blossom with the peak-grade coal-seam fire? If that was the case, then it was going to be troublesome. At this moment, Yang Dingtian was at wits end as he had no choice but to be wary at all time, yet not reveal any flaw. ********************* The first day of sailing was peaceful. Dugu Fengwu didnt do anything special and merely drank the water that she brought along herself, she wouldnt even eat anything from the ship. The second day was similarly peaceful, and her eyes didnt lock onto anyone anymore. It seemed like she had determined that Yang Dingtian was no longer on the ship. Yang Dingtian had slightly relaxed and started to listen to the conversations of the people beside him. Do you know? Ximen Ju from the Cloud Heaven City is about to have a union by marriage with the Northwest Qin Clan. He is going to marry the Northwest Qin Clans Second Young Lady, One of the martial artists spoke in a soft voice. Yang Dingtian paused for a moment. They were really colluding with each other. He was furious but didnt appear to be surprised by it. Scoff, this thing isnt any secret anymore. Everyone knows about it. Another man spoke, Do you know that what is the Black Blood Cavalry doing after they left the Cloud Heaven City? Didnt they ally themselves with the Black Vanguard Valley? The other martial artist questioned. That was outdated information. They had already been chased out. The Owner of the Black Vanguard Valley saw how beautiful Madam Ximen was and proposed something improper, causing the two sides to conflict. They even fought for quite some time. The other man said, The Black Blood Cavalry are reduced to nothing now. They are scattered across the entire southwest and southeast sea region being pirates. That is not possible, right? The other martial artist said, The great Black Blood Cavalry of the Cloud Heaven City went to become pirates? Yang Dingtian felt disdain in his heart as he knew that the Black Blood Cavalry would never be reduced to being pirates no matter how bad the situation was. But it was certain that they werent having a good time. Yang Dingtian instantly felt his heart being wrung and was furious. Ximen Ju! The day would come where I would chop you up into pieces. Big Brother Ximen Lie, brothers from the Black Blood Cavalry, hold on for me. I will definitely bring all of you back to Cloud Heaven City in an upright and impressive manner. In this instant, Yang Dingtians blood was boiling, and he couldnt help but leak out his emotional feelings. Right at this moment, a pair of eyes locked onto Yang Dingtian. This isnt good... Yang Dingtians heart got a shock. As expected, Dugu Fengwu was staring closely at Yang Dingtian. She then stood up and gently leaped and landed in front of Yang Dingtian. She pointed at Yang Dingtians face and spoke in a cold voice, You, follow me! All the hair on Yang Dingtians body was standing on its end, while his mind flashed with numerous thoughts. Using the fastest speed to escape, using the fastest speed to counterattack, splashing out all his toxins and poisons, so on and so forth! But Yang Dingtian ultimately didnt do any of those things. He thought perhaps Dugu Fengwu had something to ask him about and had yet to recognize Yang Dingtian. In fact, apart from encountering Dugu Fengwu at the Blood Pool, she had never seen Yang Dingtian another time. The current Yang Dingtian was also wearing a mask, and if she were able to recognize him, it would truly be unexpected. When walking behind Dugu Fengwu, even though they were squeezing through the crowd, Yang Dingtian could still smell the unique and charming fragrance that she gave off. Yang Dingtian arrived at a single cabin, which was the most expensive room on the ship. There was a comfortable bed in it and exquisite furniture, even the toilet looking presentable. What do you need from me? Yang Dingtian might be concerned, but he still appeared dissatisfied as he spoke. Chapter 150: Demon Woman’s Changes Chapter 150: Demon Womans ChangesTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Dugu Fengwu tossed a bag of gold coins and spoke in a cold voice, Go and borrow or buy three feet of Silk Snow Brocade. Silk Snow Brocade? Yang Dingtian was startled, but he didnt know what this thing was. What was it used for? Why did Dugu Fengwu need such a thing? But at the same time, he was relieved and delighted. As it turned out, she didnt recognize him and just wanted to get him to do something for me. But he didnt know why she would pick him. Oh, okay, Yang Dingtian replied. He then quickly took the gold coins and walked outside. Go find the most expensive cabin and borrow it from the most beautiful and most graceful woman on the ship, Dugu Fengwu stated. Eh, I understand. Yang Dingtian walked out in a hurry, and he felt as though his entire back was drenched. But Yang Dingtian was truly baffled at why Dugu Fengwu was asking him to go and get the Silk Snow Brocade. Why wouldnt she go herself? Why would she insist on getting Yang Dingtian to get it? But that thing did sound very expensive and might only be available from a woman with esteemed status. Yang Dingtian had a thought that flashed in his mind as he wanted to dive into the sea and leave as far away from this demon woman as possible. Dont even think about running, or I will tear you into pieces, Just as he had the thought, his ears instantly echoed with Dugu Fengwus voice. Yang Dingtian felt a chill in his heart. This demon woman had already locked her qi intent onto him and was certainly not going to let out. He had no choice but to find the Silk Snow Brocade for her. ********************* Thus, Yang Dingtian went knocking on the single cabins and experienced plenty of eyes rolling at him. The first cabin was a man who immediately drew his sword as he opened the cabin door. The second cabin was a couple who were dressed splendidly, and they were looking at Yang Dingtian with eyes of precaution. Who are you looking for? They asked. Yang Dingtian asked in return, I want to borrow three feet of Silk Snow Brocade. Silk Snow Brocade? That beautiful woman was instantly flushed as she endured her dissatisfaction and replied, Apologies. I know of that thing, but we dont have it. Oh. Thank you. Sorry for the trouble, Yang Dingtian apologized. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian knocked on the third door, which had a beautiful married woman who was emitting charm and arrogance. May I know if you have Silk Snow Brocade? Yang Dingtian asked. The married woman instantly changed in expression as she screamed, Someone, come and catch this ruffian! Catch the ruffian... In an instant, several guards rushed out from the other cabin. The leader of the guards questioned, Madam, who is the ruffian? S?a?ch* Th? N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Its this person. He teased me as soon as he opened his mouth, That married woman pointed at Yang Dingtian. The guards instantly brandished their sabers and cleaved at Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian quickly drew his sword to block and spoke in an unhappy tone, Why are you guys attacking without knowing the details? How am I a ruffian? Be careful, or I will fight back! You are already asking me for the Silk Snow Brocade. If you are not the ruffian, who is? Quickly break his hands and legs! That married woman ordered. Once the guards heard the married woman, their moves were even more ferocious as every move was aimed at breaking his hands. Yang Dingtian was using his sword to block and complaining in his heart. What exactly was this stupid Silk Snow Brocade? Why would someone be a ruffian if they asked for it? As the battle intensified, everyone else on the ship came for the entertainment, while Yang Dingtians enemies increased. If you guys continue, I will not be merciful, Yang Dingtian had been reserving himself, but the number of enemies was getting more and more. He couldnt help but yell at them. Right now, the largest cabin on the inside opened up, revealing a charming and absolutely beautiful face. Everyone, stop. Everyone looked at her and were instantly stunned. Even Yang Dingtian was momentarily at a loss, as he was dazzled by the absolutely beautiful face. This was an incomparably beautiful face. Every inch of skin was white as snow and delicate like suet jade. Her brows looked like a painting of mountains, and her eyes were like the autumn waters. Her nose looked like jade, and her lips like peach blossoms. The guards were all instantly mesmerized and dazzled while all their weapons dropped the floor as they had forgotten they were in a fight. This was the most beautiful woman that Yang Dingtian ever saw in this world. Dongfang Bingling, Ximen Yanyan, and Dugu Fengwu were now just the top class beauties in this world. But this woman in front of him was filled with tender and gentleness. It seemed as though she would never get angry and would always be soft like water. She was wearing a snow-white dress, which displayed how slender her waist was. She didnt have seductive curves like Ximen Yanyan and didnt have the healthy built that Mu Lianyi had, but it was captivating and filled with a tender feeling. This woman was so gentle that she instantly broke down the guards on all the men! Sister, dont misunderstand. He is my man, and he is trying to borrow the Silk Snow Brocade for me. That woman spoke in a soft voice to the married woman, He is a bit dim and doesnt know how to talk. I hope you dont mind. Finishing her statement, that absolutely beautiful woman walked over and tugged on Yang Dingtians sleeve while speaking in an annoyed but gentle voice, Hurry up and follow me. Right at this moment, everyone noticed that this absolute beauty was actually in a married womans attire, indicating that she was already married. Everyone instantly looked at Yang Dingtian with eyes of jealousy. Even that beautiful married woman revealed an expression as though Yang Dingtian was the cow dung with a beautiful flower stuck on it. Just like that, Yang Dingtian was led into this absolute beautys cabin, while his nose was filled with fragrance. Inside the cabin was a little girl who was around the age of three or four years and looked like a pink jade sculpture. Yang Dingtian had never seen such a little girl who looked as exquisite as the snow. Mother, is he the father? When the little girl saw Yang Dingtian, she instantly asked in a timid voice, while looking at Yang Dingtian with expectation. The little girls eyes were bright and large, just like two precious pearls that were embedded in her exquisite face. This is uncle, not father, The beauty replied in a gentle voice. Right now, Yang Dingtian felt as though he had forgotten his manners, as he quickly bowed to the woman and spoke with respect, I thank Madam for helping me out of trouble. It is nothing much. The absolute beauty spoke, You are too rash. How can you openly ask around for such a thing? No wonder people are calling you a ruffian. You wait here for a moment, I will go get it for you. The woman then walked to a chest and knelt down. How much do you need? The woman spoke in a tender voice. Three feet, Yang Dingtian replied. There was a sound of silk getting snipped. The woman then brought over a lump of pure white brocade that looked like snow. She handed it over to Yang Dingtian and said, Three feet might not be enough. Take five feet of it. Oh, thank you. How much will it cost? Yang Dingtian received it and noticed that this five feet of Silk Snow Brocade felt as though it didnt have any weight. It was soft and light, like the drifting cloud. He lowered his head looked at this silk-like thing, which was much smoother than silk. It was pure and translucent, but Yang Dingtian had never seen such a high-grade silk material. Who is the one having their period? Why are they asking a man like you to borrow the brocade? The woman asked in a soft voice. Ah? Period? Yang Dingtian was astonished as his face was flushed red all the way to his ears. This... this was something that women used for their periods? Wouldnt it be too luxurious to use the Silk Snow Brocade? No wonder that luxurious looking woman didnt have such a thing. No wonder that beautiful married would have such an adverse reaction. This wasnt the modern-day Earth, and it was natural that people would accuse Yang Dingtian of being a ruffian when he went around asking for it. He wished that the ship would suddenly open with a crack where he would hide in it. It-its my wife. Yang Dingtian endured his embarrassment and took out a bag of coins and said, T-this money is for you. Immediately after, he wanted to turn and leave. What is the money for? The woman put the bag of coins back into Yang Dingtians hand. Uncles face is red~ He is lying. That pinkish jade-like little girl pointed at Yang Dingtians face and said. Ning Ning mustnt talk like that, The woman spoke in a soft and displeased voice. Ning Ning? Yang Dingtian immediately looked at the little girl, whose name was also Ning Ning. Yang Dingtian felt a soft and sour feeling in his heart as he instantly recalled about Ximen Ning Ning. That Ning Ning who was limitlessly gentle and tolerant, but was currently without any news, he didnt even know if she was dead or alive. You are called Ning Ning? Yang Dingtian asked in a gentle voice, which affectionate eyes. Thats right. My name is Ning Ning. What is uncles name? The little girl asked in return. I, I am Uncle Tian... He must not say his real name; it would be too dangerous. But when he was looking at Ning Nings innocent and pure eyes, he couldnt help to tell a lie. Once he said his name, Yang Dingtian instinctively put on his guard. It didnt matter if this absolutely gorgeous married woman were to hear his name, but if Dugu Fengwu heard his name, it wouldnt be good. Uncle wants to give you a gift. Okay? As Yang Dingtian spoke, he reached into his pocket, when in fact, he was taking something out from his spatial ring. After searching for a moment, he finally found something. It was an ice sculpture that was in the shape of a flower pendant. This thing was called Anti-venom Ice Jade. The wearer didnt have to fear 99% of the poison in the world. This thing might not be invaluable, but it was still worth at least a few hundred thousand gold coins. It was one of the treasures that Ximen Ning Ning left for Yang Dingtian. No, this item is too valuable, The absolute beauty responded in a soft voice. It was obvious that she knew the value of this Anti-venom Ice Jade. She was about to walk forward and take the pendant off from little Ning Nings neck to return it back to Yang Dingtian. The things that I gifted will never be taken back. Yang Dingtian spoke in a determined voice, This is my fate with little Ning Ning. I like her very much. Then, then many thanks to you, The beauty replied in a tender voice. She then spoke to her daughter, Ning Ning, hurry up and thank uncle. The little girl went forward to hug Yang Dingtian by the neck and gave him a little kiss on his cheek. She then said in a sweet voice, Thank you, uncle. Youre welcome. Yang Dingtian rubbed her little head with pampering affection. He then stood up and said, I shall take my leave, Madam. En. The absolute beauty said, Help me give my greetings to sister-in-law. Yang Dingtians face flushed again as he nodded and walked out of the cabin. When he was at the door, little Ning Ning suddenly said, Uncle, Ning Ning never saw her father before. Can you be my father? The little girl had a pure heart and could instinctively feel the doting love Yang Dingtian had for her. She who lacked fatherly love, couldnt bear to see Yang Dingtian leave. She instantly spoke with words that had nothing but innocence. The absolute beautys face instantly blushed, so did her eyes, as she spoke in a reprimanding but soft tone, Ning Ning, you mustnt talk like this. The little girls eyes grew red as large beads of tears rolled out. I am not talking foolishly. Father doesnt want the mother and Ning Ning anymore. Grandmother doesnt like us anymore and drove us out. I know about all these. Uncle is good to me. I want uncle to be my father! The absolutely beautiful married woman couldnt hold back as tears flowed from her eyes. She spoke to Yang Dingtian, My apologies. The child doesnt know what she is talking about. You dont have to pay attention to her. Seeing the big teary eyes on little Ning Ning, Yang Dingtian felt sore in his heart. He unintentionally guessed the back story of this mother and daughter, and he roughly got the picture. The gorgeous married woman smiled and said, We are actually bringing Ning Ning to look for her father. Yang Dingtian would really like to know what kind of father did this little girl have? How could he be so heartless to abandon this gentle and beautiful woman? How could he abandon such a cute daughter? But it was obvious that this woman couldnt endure living at her mothers home anymore. Hence she brought her daughter out to seek shelter with her father. But, if that man had the heart to abandon them back them, if this woman were to bring their daughter to seek shelter, they might just meet with an even more miserable fate. Yang Dingtian felt the pain in his heart, and he wanted to tell them to come and look for him in Cloud Heaven City if they met with something bad. His heart was filled with the desire to protect them, but he couldnt even protect himself now. Furthermore, the current Cloud Heaven City was a territory that belonged to the enemy. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and solemnly bid them goodbye. Madam, take care! He then immediately turned and left. Waaa.... Afterward, little Ning Ning cried sadly. Uncle doesnt like Ning Ning too. Uncle doesnt want Ning Ning as well... Yang Dingtian managed to hear a little of it, but Ning Nings wailing was cut off by the closing of the cabin door. Yang Dingtian immediately hastened his footsteps. ****************************** After arriving at Dugu Fengwus cabin, Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and walked in. Due to the sad and sore feeling in his heart, it helped him to reduce much of the tension that he should have when facing Dugu Fengwu. Right now, Dugu Fengwus back was facing Yang Dingtian. She had taken off her long robe, leaving behind the white and soft inner clothes. Her attire was able to showcase her delicate figure, which was extremely mesmerizing. Here is five feet of Silk Snow Brocade and your coin bag. Farewell. Yang Dingtian placed the things on the table and wanted to turn and leave. Hold on, Dugu Fengwu said. Is there anything else? Yang Dingtian was feeling rather frustrated. You are really leaving your love in all places, uh? Just a simple act of borrowing the snow brocade, allowed you to hook up a beauty along with a little beauty, Dugu Fengwu turned her delicate figure around, revealing her gorgeous face. She actually removed her disguise. Dont you maliciously slander others. Yang Dingtian spoke with fury, You can humiliate me, but do not humiliate the innocent people. As he was infuriated, Yang Dingtian had forgotten how terrifyingly powerful Dugu Fengwu was. You already cannot bear to part with them? You already cherish them so much? Dugu Fengwu mocked and said, You are really an affectionate person, uh? Yang Dingtian! I will repeat it, that woman is married and has a husband. Dont you taint her reputation... As Yang Dingtian was speaking, he suddenly stopped, because Dugu Fengwu called out his name. You recognize me? Yang Dingtian vigorously arched his back as his hand immediately held onto the sword hilt. Of course. Dugu Fengwu said, Or else, why would I board this ship? To find you, I have searched through dozens of ships. Yang Dingtian spoke with disbelief and said, How did you recognize me? I used the Evil Soul Art and announced that I would exchange it with the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, but ended up empty-handed. Over ten days ago, I got to know that the southwest continents Mu Clan Docks obtained a Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. Thus, I used the fastest speed to make haste over and caught Mu Lianyi. What did you do to her? Yang Dingtian questioned. Dont worry. I merely used an evil art to force her to speak. I didnt do anything to your little servant girl. Dugu Fengwu sneered and said, With the influence of my evil art, anyone must speak. I know that you have the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl with you, and you are bringing it up north to the Fire Cloud Devil Cave. So I used my fastest speed to chase after you and waited for you here at the docks. I searched through all the ships and finally found you on this ship. Youve only met me once, and I was wearing a mask. How did you recognize me? Yang Dingtian asked. Dugu Fengwu laughed grimly and said, To make it convenient for myself in pursuing you, my father left a permanent mark on your body. As long as you are within the 1000 feet radius, I will be able to find you. Damn that, Dugu Xiao, damn that bastard, Yang Dingtian cursed with anger. Thats right. He is truly an old bastard who deserves to be hacked into pieces. Dugu Fengwu cursed her own father without any reserve before smiling at Yang Dingtian. Thank you for borrowing the Silk Snow Brocade for me. Now, hand over the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl... otherwise, I will rip you into pieces. Are you playing with me? Yang Dingtian spoke with fury, You already recognized me, but you didnt kill me. Instead, you made me borrow this stupid Silk Snow Brocade. I would rather be killed than be humiliated! Are you making me an amusement? I am not playing with you. Dugu Fengwu spoke in a cold voice, I got you to borrow the Silk Snow Brocade because I require it. When she was speaking about this, Dugu Fengwus face turned cold while her eyes were filled with murderous qi. This is all because of you. I originally possess the Meridians of Pure Yang and wouldnt have such troubles of a normal woman. You bastard who stained me and made me like the rest of the woman. Now, I have to suffer the torment which every woman has to experience every month. I didnt. I didnt god damn touch you. Yang Dingtian yelled out, This is just your bastard father trying to frame me. Then why does my body have your qi presence? Dugu Fengwus shapely brows knitted as she spoke indignantly, If you didnt do that thing to me, why would my body have your qi presence? How would I god damn know? Yang Dingtian spoke angrily, You should be clear if I have ever touched you. Cant you check it yourself? Pa... Dugu Fengwu gave a hard slap. Yang Dingtian could feel the stinging sensation that was on his face. Do I even need you to tell me? Dugu Fengwu spoke in a cold voice, When I came to, there was blood on my thighs. Yang Dingtian instantly recalled it. When he was carrying Dugu Fengwu, her thighs were indeed stained with blood. I, I will not be able to cleanse my name even if I jump into the Yellow River, Yang Dingtian was speechless. He didnt know if it were the vigorous running that caused it, or was it injured by the forceful qi, or was it accidentally struck by one of the flying rocks. I cannot be bothered to dispute with you. No matter the case, I didnt do it. If I really did it, I would own up to it. Yang Dingtian spoke indifferently, Since you already found me, then just do whatever you want. Dugu Fengwu forcefully endured and suppressed her anger. Yang Dingtian, to be honest, I do not care about the fact that you stained me, because I am not interested in the relationship between man and woman. Apart from feeling disgusted, I do not feel anything else. Hence, if you had tainted me, I simply feel dirty and not those extreme emotions of wanting to die. Dugu Fengwu spoke in an apathetic tone, What I care about is my Meridians of Pure Yang and that you ruined my future cultivation. You made the energy in my body impure, and you are the reason why I might not be able to rise to the pinnacle of all the martial experts in the world. I am chasing after you for this reason. Do you understand? I will say it once more. I didnt touch you. Dont make things sound so awful. I do not know why do you have my qi presence in your body. Yang Dingtian said, Just do whatever you want to do. Dugu Fengwu drew her sharp sword and pointed it at Yang Dingtian. Hand over the Fire Chilling Pearl, or I will severe you into pieces. Impossible. Yang Dingtian said, Even if I hand it over, you will still severe me into pieces. Dugu Fengwu responded, If you hand it over, I will release you and let you live for another half a month. Fifteen days later, I will start my pursuit again. During this gap of time, you can run as far as you can. Chapter 151: Penetrating with a Single Blade Chapter 151: Penetrating with a Single BladeTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Those conditions are not bad. Yang Dingtian replied, But, I refuse to accept it. Dugu Fengwu sneered and said, The reason why I am proposing this condition is that I loathe everything about a man. I am unwilling to touch you and search your body. The Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl is on you, do you think you can stop me if I want to take it? Yang Dingtian extended his hands and said, You can try and take it. If you can find it, then you are really capable. If you refuse my goodwill, then you just have to be served the hard way, Dugu Fengwu spoke indifferently and slashed with her sharp sword. There was a formidable force that forcefully ripped off Yang Dingtians clothes. His entire body was bare naked, and there was no Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl? Dugu Fengwu didnt feel any shame and scanned her eyes across every inch of Yang Dingtians body. She was truly unable to find any traces of the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. Swish... She brandished her sword again. Bang... Yang Dingtians clothes, which were on the ground, were instantly disintegrated. But the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl was nowhere to be found. This Dugu Fengwu was truly so powerful that it raised peoples hackles. Just as she said, among the youth prodigies in the world, only Dongfang Bingling was a match for her. Dugu Fengwu placed the sword across Yang Dingtians neck and said, Did you hide the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl on the ship? Say it, or I will destroy the entire ship, then hack you into pieces. The reason why she said that Yang Dingtian was hiding the pearl on the ship was that she knew that Yang Dingtian was taking the pearl to the Fire Cloud Devil Cave. Thus, he couldnt hide the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl in the southwest continent. I am not a fool to hide the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl on the ship. It can emit obvious chilling energy which would be easily discovered, Yang Dingtian replied. Then, did you hand it to someone in advance for them to bring it to the northwest continent? Dugu Fengwu asked, Who did you give it to? Where are you going to rendezvous with them on the northwest continent? Yang Dingtian didnt speak and merely scoffed. No. The only trustworthy people in the southwest continent are the Mu Clans members, but they all remained in the southwest continent. The Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl is of utmost importance, and you will not hand it over to others. Dugu Fengwu said, You must have hidden it on somewhere in your body. I cant feel the chilling energy because you are using something to conceal the pearl. Furthermore, you have the pure yang body. Hence I cannot feel its chilling energy as well. Dugu Fengwu looked at Yang Dingtians body again and suspected if Yang Dingtian had swallowed the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. Hand it over. Dont force me to open up your stomach, Dugu Fengwu demanded and pointed the sharp edge of her sword on Yang Dingtians abdomen. Yang Dingtian remained silent and stared at Dugu Fengwu while sneering. Dont think that I wont dare to do it, Dugu Fengwu was infuriated as she abruptly thrust at Yang Dingtian with her sword. Yang Dingtian stood there, motionless. S?a??h the N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Sss... The sharp sword suddenly struck onto Yang Dingtians abdomen. This demon woman was really ruthless; she thrust her sword as soon as she said she would. But, Dugu Fengwu was astonished when her indestructible sword was actually bounced off once it struck on Yang Dingtians body. There wasnt a single trace of blood left on his body. How is this possible? Although she didnt use much mystic qi, her artifact sword was a rare blade that could even slice open the abdomen of a Master class expert. Yet it was unable to pierce through Yang Dingtians stomach? You are wearing the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes? Dugu Fengwu asked in a cold voice. Yang Dingtian was startled. He didnt expect her to guess that it was the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes immediately. You actually possess the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes? No wonder you didnt die during the incident at the Willow Silk Manor. Dugu Fengwu asked with suspicion, Who exactly are you? Even Dongfang Niemie and Ximen Wuya shouldnt have the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes. Even though Dugu Fengwu was astonished, she didnt have any greedy desire for the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes and actually disregarded it. You think that the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes can protect you? I can slice you up from the top or the bottom, Dugu Fengwu laughed grimly. The Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl is not on me, it will be useless even if you chop me up into pieces, said Yang Dingtian. Are you not afraid of death? Dugu Fengwu asked. Of course, I am, Yang Dingtian replied. Then do you think I dont dare to kill you? Or that I wont kill you? Dugu Fengwu questioned. Of course, you dare, and of course you will. Yang Dingtian said, You are a demon woman, and there is nothing you wouldnt do. That thrust earlier showed that you disregarded my life, and killing me is like killing any other livestock. Then do you want to resist? Do you want to fight back? Dugu Fengwu asked again. Yang Dingtian swung around the sharp sword in his hand and said, I am not a lunatic. I am willing to risk my life against Qin Shaobai and Tuoba Ye, who are two ranks higher than me. But against you, I will not waste my effort. Seems like you are smart enough, Dugu Fengwu scoffed and said. Yang Dingtian was naturally tactful enough. This demon woman was merely just over twenty years old but was already close to the Grandmaster class. Right now, in the entire Cloud Heaven City, no one was a match for her. Subsequently, Dugu Fengwu laughed sarcastically and said, Dongfang Bingling isnt inferior to me. As for your deathmatch against her four and half years later... I really dont know if you are ignorant or foolish. That is my problem, Yang Dingtian replied indifferently. Thats right, that is your problem. But if you dont hand the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl over, you will be chopped into pieces right now. Let alone your five years promise. Dugu Fengwu let out a grin and said, I will count to three. If you dont hand the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl over, I will tear your body apart. Yang Dingtian scoffed and said, It will be useless even if you burn me into ashes, as the pearl isnt in my body. Moreover, if you kill me, you will never obtain the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, and you will not be able to forget your soul sword anymore. Immediately after, Yang Dingtian said, I might not want to die, but I am definitely not afraid of death either. You can use death to threaten me, but it is useless. Your father knows about this. Dugu Fengwu was extremely indignant as she abruptly drew her sword across. Swish... Yang Dingtians neck split open with a wound, which was spraying with fresh blood. This wound was less than a millimeter away from the main artery on the neck. Any deeper, Yang Dingtian would bleed out to death. Yang Dingtian stood still and stared at Dugu Fengwu, allowing the blood on his neck to spray out and drench his entire body. Very well. I will not use your life to threaten you. I will use that woman that you hooked up and her daughters life to threaten you. Dugu Fengwu spoke in a cold voice, Hand the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl over immediately, or I will go kill that mother and daughter right away. Yang Dingtian was appalled as he said, You are mad! They are innocent! I will kill whoever I want to kill, what about innocence? Dugu Fengwu laughed sarcastically and immediately went out. She was going to seize little Ning Ning and her mother to threaten Yang Dingtian. This demon woman would really do whatever she said she would. She treated all the humans in the world like insects. She was very fast and immediately vanished in the blink of the eye. Yang Dingtian chased after rapidly but quickly took out and wore a pair of pants from his spatial ring. He didnt have time to wear anything else and picked up his sword to chase after her. But, Dugu Fengwu had already vanished without a trace. When everyone saw Yang Dingtian was naked from the waist up, they instantly revealed strange eyes. But Yang Dingtian couldnt bother about them right now as they quickly ran to the cabin, which was one floor below. But there was no need to. He felt a breeze of fragrance when a swift shadow passed through. Dugu Fengwu had returned, and she was holding two individuals in her hands. One of them was that absolutely beautiful married woman, and the other was little Ning Ning. She had returned into her own cabin in just the wink of the eye. Her speed was too fast and too shocking. So fast that no one knew what happened, and they couldnt even see it clearly as they could only feel a breeze. Yang Dingtian quickly turned back and ran towards the cabin. As expected, Dugu Fengwu was standing in the cabin, and her sharp sword was placed on the tender white neck of that absolute beauty. That woman was hugging her daughter tightly. Although she was trembling with fear, she still spoke bravely, Dont kill my daughter. She is innocent. As long as this man hands over the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, I will not kill you. Otherwise, I will not spare anyone, Dugu Fengwu spoke apathetically. Yang Dingtian had just rushed in and spoke to Dugu Fengwu with fury, You demon woman, release the mother and daughter. Dugu Fengwu pressed her blade down, which broke through the skin of that beautys pink neck, causing blood to ooze out. Hand the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl over. If not, I will kill them right now. Dugu Fengwu demanded. Yang Dingtians body was shaking as he spoke, You are really a demon woman devoid of all humanity. Hand it over now, Yang Dingtian. Dugu Fengwu spoke in a cold tone, Do not make me repeat it the third time. As she finished her statement, her sword was about to slice down, and this innocent beauty was about to be ruined like a piece of flawless jade. Stop! Yang Dingtian yelled out, Let them go. I will give you the pearl. Dugu Fengwu stared at Yang Dingtian and sneered. I already said it before, if you refuse my goodwill, then you just have to be served the hard way. You really cherish them so much, uh... As she finished her mockery, she loosened the sharp sword in her hands. Go, go quickly... Yang Dingtian said to that stunning married woman. That beautiful woman carried her daughter and fled outside. As she ran past Yang Dingtian, she suddenly asked, What, what about you? Why are you concerned for me? Go quickly... Yang Dingtian roared. That woman didnt go, she asked Dugu Fengwu instead, Are you going to kill me? Dugu Fengwu was slightly startled, as she didnt expect this gentlewoman to be so brave. No. As long as he hands over the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, I will let him run for 15 days. Dugu Fengwu continued, But after 15 days, if he is captured by me again, then the blame wouldnt be on me. Hurry up and go. Take little Ning Ning and go! Yang Dingtian spoke loudly. That beautiful married woman looked at Yang Dingtian and spoke in a gentle voice, My name is Ning Rouer. From now onwards, you are little Ning Nings uncle. Uncle... Little Ning Ning immediately called out. Finally, Ning Rouer looked at Dugu Fengwu and said, Young Lady, you are the most beautiful lady I have ever seen in this world. I hope that you will honor your words. I dont know what happened between the two of you, but I know that this man is the worlds best man. So, I implore to keep to your words and dont harm him. After Ning Rouer finished what she wanted to say, she quickly ran out while carrying her daughter. ******************* That mother and daughter pair are long gone. Dugu Fengwu demanded, Hand over the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. Yang Dingtians face turned cold as he slowly drew the sharp sword and walked towards Dugu Fengwu. Dugu Fengwus expression changed as she asked, Are you going to fight back? Yang Dingtian raised his sword and continue to walk forward. Dugu Fengwu laughed sarcastically and said, What you are doing is throwing an egg on a rock, like a moth into flames, you know? Yes, like a moth into flames. Yang Dingtian laughed helplessly and said, But, you forced me. I know that I will perish, but I must raise my sword! You want me to hand the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl over like this? I would rather not suffer such humiliation. Yang Dingtian ended his words with a shout as he rushed towards Dugu Fengwu and thrust at her throat. But a simple pinch was enough to stop the full strength from Yang Dingtian. Dang... Dugu Fengwu gently flicked. Pfff... Yang Dingtian flew over ten meters like rice straw and was violently vomiting blood in midair. Bang Bang Bang... Yang Dingtians body crashed onto the solid walls of the cabin, which instantly smashed the wooden walls. One layer, two layers, three layers... Yang Dingtian crashed through five whole layers of walls, penetrating the entire ship and was about to fly out to the sea. What is going on? The person inside better get your ass out right now, A voice interrupted from outside, as more than ten sword-wielding martial artists rushed in. Get lost... Dugu Fengwu let out a furious shout and flung her left sleeve. Bang... All the martial artists that rushed in were instantly annihilated without even leaving a corpse. A simple fling of her sleeve was enough to turn everyone in her vision into a bloodied mess. This demon womans strength was enough to frighten anyone just by the sound of it. Just as Yang Dingtian was about to fly into the sea, Dugu Fengwu reached out her right sleeve and drew him back. In an instant, an incomparably powerful suction force caught hold of Yang Dingtian and pulled him in front of Dugu Fengwu again. Hand over the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl... Dugu Fengwu spoke in a grave tone. I will not yield to your martial prowess. Dont even think about it! Yang Dingtian interrupted Dugu Fengwu and thrust his sword at her. Even though Yang Dingtian knew his attack was like a joke to Dugu Fengwu, he still thrust his sword out. You are courting death! Dugu Fengwu was infuriated as she lifted her palm and slammed it down at the oncoming Yang Dingtian while ignoring his thrusting sword. She knew that Yang Dingtians sword wasnt going to do any damage to her, but her palm, which was filled with wrath, would be enough to smash Yang Dingtian into smithereens. Im sorry, master. Im sorry, Yanyan. I really do not wish to compromise... Yang Dingtian looked on at the oncoming fatal palm from Dugu Fengwu. He knew that he would end up as a smashed-up corpse, but he was still rushing at Dugu Fengwu, and his sword was still thrusting at her. Pfff... Dugu Fengwus palm smashed hard on Yang Dingtians head, and Yang Dingtians sword penetrated into Dugu Fengwus chest. But something horrific happened. Something totally unimaginable had happened! Yang Dingtian wasnt smashed into smithereens, and Dugu Fengwus palm strike was soft and without any power. While Yang Dingtians sword didnt have any resistance as it directly penetrated Dugu Fengwus chest. Chapter 152: Unlucky Demon Woman Chapter 152: Unlucky Demon WomanTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Fresh blood was bursting out from Dugu Fengwus chest. Ahhh... Dugu Fengwu instantly revealed out a furious yell that sounded like she refused to accept her fate. Heavens, why are you doing this to me? Why at this moment? Dugu Fengwu questioned with wrath. Yang Dingtian was shocked to see this development and didnt know why things turn out like this. He, who should have been smashed into smithereens, was actually unscathed. Dugu Fengwu, who should be unscathed, had been pierced in her chest. Yang Dingtian, you win. Even the heavens are helping you. Dugu Fengwu suddenly laughed with a mournful tone. Since you tainted my chastity, my entire body went through a transformation. There would be certain moments where my body would be void of any mystic qi. It might last from two hours to even an entire day. Right now, my mystic qi has completely vanished, and I am a harmless individual. So, you can now kill me effortlessly. So that was what happened, and it seemed like the heavens were really helping Yang Dingtian. This absolutely powerful demon woman actually turned into the worlds most delicate woman. But what did this have to do with him? Perhaps it was because she went berserk during her cultivation in the Blood Pool. Do it then. Dugu Fengwu perked up her beautiful face and said, Dont even think that I will beg for mercy. If you dont kill me, I will still severe you into pieces and turn you into ashes, after I regain my mystic qi. Yang Dingtian looked at the pale looking Dugu Fengwu and at her wound, which was constantly flowing with blood. Right now was indeed the perfect moment to kill this demon woman. If he missed this chance, he might not have any more opportunities in the future. After abruptly drawing out the sharp sword, the flow of the blood increased and immediately drenched Dugu Fengwus entire upper body. I wont kill you, Yang Dingtian said. But, I wont save you either. Yang Dingtian said in a cold voice, Because you are not worth saving. Go, beg for a miracle. Finishing his statement, Yang Dingtian immediately ran out. ************** Come out! The people inside better come out now, or I will kill these women! Before Yang Dingtian could run out of the cabin, a voice interrupted him. Yang Dingtian was startled. What was happening outside? He instantly went out. Once he got out, he saw a curved saber placed on Ning Rouers neck and a pirate behind her. Right now, outside the cabins, there were more than a hundred pirates who were wielding various weapons and had taken control of the entire ship. On the deck, there were more than a dozen corpses of people who tried to resist. On the surface of the sea, there were a few dozen pirate boats that had used their metal hooks to restrain the ship. Pirates were actually plundering this ship. Those people that Dugu Fengwu had instantly killed were all pirates as well. Seeing more than ten of their comrades instantly turning into corpses, this group of pirate assumed that there was a martial expert in the cabin and were panic-stricken. They didnt dare to act recklessly, and when they saw Ning Rouer and her daughter coming out from the cabin, they immediately took them as hostages. Seeing Yang Dingtian exiting the cabin, Ning Rouers concerned expression relaxed as she revealed a helpless smile at him. She had just been held hostage by Dugu Fengwu, and she was now being held hostage by pirates. Who are you? Yang Dingtian spoke in an indifferent voice. The instant Yang Dingtian walked out, all the pirates were startled as they took a few steps back. It was apparent that they thought Yang Dingtian was the martial expert who instantly killed over a dozen of their comrades. When they saw him walking out, they were instantly frightened and turned stiff. We, we are the Cloud Heaven Citys Black Blood Cavalry. Our commander is Ximen Lie, and our Lord is Yang Dingtian! That pirate which held Ning Rouer hostage was shivering as he answered. Yang Dingtian was instantly furious. This group of bastards was actually impersonating the Black Blood Cavalry. No wonder Yang Dingtian heard those people on the ship mentioning that Ximen Lie was leading the Black Blood Cavalry as pirates. So this was what happened. It was obvious that this group of pirates was receiving orders from Ximen Ju and the others in Cloud Heaven City. They asked them to impersonate the Black Blood Cavalry to kill and plunder, which would ruin Yang Dingtian and Ximen Lies reputation. They didnt want Ximen Lie and the brothers from the Black Blood Cavalry to have any place where they could establish themselves. Ximen Jus methods were vicious and completely unfair. Let them go, and I wont kill you, Yang Dingtian said in a dull tone. No... That pirate was shivering as he said, As long as I let go of your wife and daughter, you will surely kill all of us. I know that is going to happen. Then what do you want? Yang Dingtian spoke in a furious voice. Get your wife and daughter to escort us. When we feel that we are sufficiently safe, we will release them back, that pirate proposed. Yang Dingtian saw that the pirates were looking at Ning Rouer with wolf-like eyes. If such a beauty like Ning Rouer were to fall into their pirates lair, the consequences would be devastating. She would surely end up with a miserable fate and would rather be dead. How about this? I will go with you. Ning Rouer turned to speak with the pirate, But you have to give my daughter back to my husband. The pirate looked at the pink jade-like little Ning Ning and immediately replied with avaricious eyes, No way. Who knows what kind of schemes you are up to! Ning Rouer said, If you dont agree. I will immediately kill myself, and my husband will then start the massacre. Lets see if you will be able to survive? She spoke firmly, but her voice was still extremely gentle. The pirate was astonished. If that were to happen, it would truly be a tragedy. Okay, I agree. But dont you try any tricks; otherwise, I will immediately cut off your beautiful head, the pirate warned with a sinister voice. Ning Rouer immediately let go out little Ning Ning and whispered, Be a good girl and go look for father. Immediately after, Ning Rouer spoke to Yang Dingtian, This childs father, please take good care of our daughter. Little Ning Ning hugged tightly on her mothers neck and cried, Im not going, Im not going. I want to be with my mother. Ning Rouer immediately bent over her delicate body and coaxed little Ning Ning. Seeing her tempting figure, the pirate revealed lustful eyes. He didnt bother about anything else and extended his dirty hands, which were about to touch Ning Rouer. Lie down...! Yang Dingtian yelled out. Afterward, Yang Dingtian rushed out with lightning speed and abruptly thrust his sharp sword at that captivated pirate. When Ning Rouer heard Yang Dingtian, she didnt even bother about the sharp blade on her neck and quickly hugged little Ning Ning and lied down. Swish... Yang Dingtians sword slashed across. That captivated pirate suddenly got a shock and instantly regained his senses. He was frightened stiff and burst several steps in retreat. His face was instantly slashed by Yang Dingtians sword, leaving behind a bone-deep wound. When thinking about how powerful Yang Dingtian was, he instantly forgot everything and lowered his head while desperately trying to run. This pirate boss was not weak at all and was actually more than ten classes superior to Yang Dingtian. But right now, he treated Yang Dingtian as a martial expert, and when he saw Yang Dingtian slashing at him, his first thought was to flee. Subsequently, all the other pirates started to flee as well. After Yang Dingtian missed his first strike, he quickly rolled on the ground and carried Ning Rouer and little Ning Ning. He didnt even pause for a moment and swiftly turned to escape. At this moment, more than a hundred pirates were trying to flee, and so was Yang Dingtian. In the blink of the eye, Yang Dingtian carried Ning Rouer and little Ning Ning, and instantly dashed into the cabin. He then opened up a giant hole in the wall before jumping out into the sea. After the pirates ran for a quite a few of distance, they turned around to see if Yang Dingtian were chasing after them. But they realized that Yang Dingtian was also running. Boss, that guy is a fake and not a real expert. He is running too! That pirate exclaimed. When that pirate boss heard it, he immediately turned around to see that Yang Dingtian was fleeing rapidly with the mother and daughter. He was even running faster than them and had already jumped into the sea. In an instant, the pirate boss recalled when Yang Dingtian thrust his sword at them and realized that that sword didnt have the strength of a martial expert. But he was merely frightened stiff and didnt care about those minor details. Now that he thought about it, that beautys husband was indeed not any great martial expert. What the! Acting like a tiger to scare a pig! He fooled us! That pirate boss smacked his head and yelled out, Chase after them! I want to tear that man into pieces and eat him up. Bring that beautiful woman back as well. Understood! The pirates quickly turned around and chased after Yang Dingtian. Some of the pirates immediately dove into the sea and gave chase. Haha... The pirate boss laughed heartily and said, Compete against pirates in swimming? In your dreams! If we let you escape in the sea, I will chop off my head and give it to you. In an instant, more than a hundred pirates dove into the sea like dumplings into a wok. They then quickly surrounded Yang Dingtian. They were pirates for sure, as they swam like a fish in the sea. They were swimming at extreme speed and were about to catch up to Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian used one arm to carry Ning Rouer and her daughter, while his other hand was paddling in the water. But his speed wasnt as fast as those pirates. Let go of us and escape yourself, Ning Rouer said. Stop spouting nonsense, Yang Dingtian replied. We are strangers who just met you, you dont have to die for us, Ning Rouer spoke resolutely. Dont worry. I have a plan. Yang Dingtian said, Lady Ning, hug onto me. Ning Rouer couldnt understand, but she used one arm to hugged onto Yang Dingtians waist, while she used her other arm to carry little Ning Ning. Yang Dingtian had spared out both his hands and took out an elixir in his spatial ring, the Water Separation Elixir! S?a??h th? N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. After consuming this elixir, the body would immediately surge with energy that would push the water at the front away, resulting in the user being able to travel in water without resistance. As expected, after consuming the Water Separation Elixir, Yang Dingtian used both his arms to carry Ning Rouer and little Ning Ning. He was traveling through the water at a rapid speed while all the seawater at the front was being pushed away, making it seem as though Yang Dingtian was running in water. It took just a split moment for Yang Dingtian to leave those pirates behind. ******************* On the ship, just as the pirate boss was about to give chase as well... Boss, look... One of the pirates pointed at the corner of the cabin and stood there dumbstruck. The pirate boss turned around and was instantly dumbstruck as well. Today was truly a wicked day. He had just witnessed a mesmerizing woman earlier, and now there was another one. She was so captivating that one would feel as though their spirit soul was scattering. The woman they saw was obviously Dugu Fengwu. Right now, half of Dugu Fengwus body was dyed red by fresh blood, and her absolutely beautiful face didnt have any color of blood. But all these made her look even more beautiful as she had lost that threatening aura. When the pirate boss saw Dugu Fengwu, he tossed aside everything in his mind and only had a single thought. I am going to make her mine... In an instant, that pirate boss crouched down with a dazed expression as he extended his hand to touch Dugu Fengwus face. When Dugu Fengwu saw this crazed pirate boss, she desperately tried to circulate her mystic qi as she wanted to smash him into smithereens. But, she realized that she didnt even have a hint of mystic qi. She couldnt even lift her arms. I have killed countless people in this lifetime. I shall die here in this place... Dugu Fengwu said to herself as she had this flash of determination in her beautiful eyes. Using her last bit of strength, she took out a blood-red elixir and put it into her mouth. Bloodthirsty Devil Split Ritual! Dugu Fengwus body instantly grew redder and redder. That pirate boss hand came closer and closer to her face. The Bloodthirsty Devil Split Ritual would cause her body and this pirate boss in front of her to explode into pieces. This was Dugu Fengwus final frenzy! ************ That Young Lady, that Young Lady is still on the ship... Ning Rouer suddenly said, Those pirates are going to humiliate her... Yang Dingtian immediately turned back to look and saw that the pirate boss was about to pounce at Dugu Fengwu. That vicious demon woman deserves to die, Yang Dingtian commented and ignored her. But, but she doesnt deserve to die like this, Ning Rouer stated. Chapter 153: Obtaining Supreme Treasure Chapter 153: Obtaining Supreme TreasureTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian had fallen into a painful dilemma. Damn it! Yang Dingtian instantly cursed and turned to rush into the den of the wolves. When that group of pirates who were in pursuit saw that Yang Dingtian didnt flee but turned back instead, they were instantly astonished and quickly scattered in all directions. ... Boss, this woman looks weird. Her body is getting increasingly red... That junior pirate suddenly stated. The pirate boss slightly regained his composure and saw that this woman looked as though she was really burning up. Her originally pale-looking face was now bright as a blossomed flower and had an imposing red glow, which made her charming figure even more compelling. He could instinctively feel a danger as though he was about to touch a poisonous flower. He wanted to back away, but he was reluctant. After all, its a life or death choice. I dont care. Even if I die, I still want her... The pirate boss made his final decision and immediately pounced at Dugu Fengwus delicate body. Bang! When the pirate boss pounced, he did crash, but it wasnt on the beautys soft body, it was on the cold hard flooring instead. When he lifted his head to look, he saw that woman was tied up by a rope and was dragged into the sea. Ahhh... my beauty... The pirate boss was infuriated as he suddenly went on a pursuit. Right at the final moment, Yang Dingtian used the Devil Silk to wrap around Dugu Fengwu and pulled her into the sea. He then quickly turned around and used the Water Separation Elixir to run desperately while Dugu Fengwu was being pulled behind. ******************************* After consuming the Water Separation Elixir, Yang Dingtian traveled several miles in the water and finally stopped in an uninhabited island. He stopped because Ning Rouer and her daughter couldnt take it anymore. On the uninhabited island, Yang Dingtian put down Ning Rouer and little Ning Ning. He noticed that little Ning Ning was fine and had just passed out, but Ning Rouers eyes were shut tightly, and her face was pale. Her breathing was extremely weak, and her abdomen was bulging, as though she had swallowed quite a bit of seawater. Yang Dingtian was alarmed. He had been very cautious not to let Ning Rouer drown in the water. How did this happen? He quickly put Ning Rouer down on the beach and pressed on her abdomen. Instantly, she spat out plenty of seawater from her mouth. Yang Dingtian carried her upside down and finally forced out all the seawater. But she still didnt wake up, and her breathing and pulses were getting weaker. Yang Dingtian extended his hand to press on her heart and tried to resuscitate her, but she still didnt regain consciousness. I am doing this to rescue you, not intentionally taking advantage of you. Im sorry, Yang Dingtian apologized. He then pinched her nose and helped her do artificial respiration. After doing it three times, he went and pumped her heart again. Afterward, he did the artificial respiration again. Once, twice, thrice... On the last attempt, when Yang Dingtian was breathing the outside air... Heh... Ning Rouer let out a soft moan and slowly opened her eyes. She just happened to see Yang Dingtians face leaving her face, while her eyes instantly widened. Ahh... Yang Dingtian quickly moved back and anxiously tried to explain, I, I am just trying to save you. I was doing the artificial respiration. Ning Rouers face grew red as she looked at Yang Dingtian and said softly, I understand. I am really not taking advantage of you, Yang Dingtian explained. I understand. I trust you, Ning Rouer spoke in a soft voice, and she was telling the truth. If Yang Dingtian were trying to take advantage of her, he would have done other actions too, but he didnt. My body is very frail and is worse than little Ning Nings. Just the splashing of the seawater was enough to make me stop breathing and my heart to stop. Ning Rouer said softly, Thank you; you saved me again. Immediately after, Ning Rouer stood up and went to hug little Ning Ning. Ahh... Just as Ning Rouer sat up, she let out a soft exclaim. Because she saw that her clothes were completely drenched, she was wearing a kind of very expensive silk clothing, and a little splash of water would cause the silk cloth to stick onto the body. She instinctively covered her body and curled up her legs. But she quickly stopped this action, as she felt that it would hurt Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian also just noticed this about Ning Rouer and was slightly surprised. He then used his most natural attitude to turn around and say, I will go start a fire and see that woman at the same time. Oh... Ning Rouer spoke softly. ************************** Soon enough, Yang Dingtian started a fire behind a large boulder. Lady Ning, put your clothes on the boulder to dry them. I will be on the other side of the boulder. Yang Dingtian said, Give little Ning Ning to me. I will use my mystic qi to force out the moisture from her body and dry up her clothes. Eh... Ning Rouer handed little Ning Ning to Yang Dingtian. Little Ning Ning looked as though she was unconscious yet as though she was sleeping and had not awakened yet. But her small face was flushed and didnt suffer any injuries at all. Ning Nings innate talent is great, and her body constitution is also excellent, Ning Rouer explained. Yang Dingtian carried little Ning Ning over to the other side of the giant boulder and sat down to circulate his mystic qi. Warm energy was produced from his body as he dried up little Ning Nings drenched body. On the other side of the giant boulder, Ning Rouer had placed her clothes near the fire to dry them up, and she was wearing nothing on her body. Yang Dingtian looked at Dugu Fengwu, who was lying down and was unconscious. The redness from her face had subsided and was now very pale. The seawater had cleansed the blood on her body, and the wound on her chest wasnt bleeding any more. Right now, she looked like a stunning sleeping beauty. Your name is Yang Dingtian? Ning Rouer asked in a soft voice from the other side of the boulder. Yes, Yang Dingtian nodded and replied. Ning Rouer heard his name when Dugu Fengwu called out. I know you. Ning Rouer said, I am from the Sky Phoenix Pavilion. The Sky Phoenix Pavilion was one of the Twenty Seven Branches from the Three Sects, Nine Clans, Twenty Seven Branches. The members of the Heaven Dao Union came from all the renowned and prestigious branches around the world. The Sky Phoenix Pavilion was the only influential faction, which was comparatively more powerful than the Wooden Sword Castle, and their prowess wasnt just in name. But, the Sky Phoenix Pavilion never meddled in the worldly affairs and had always maintained neutrality. There was another reason that the Sky Phoenix Pavilion was well-known for. They were known for their disciples, who were all females, and they were all pure like jade. Those who enter the Sky Phoenix Pavilion must never marry in their lifetime. Little Brother. Can I call you Little Brother from now? Ning Rouer asked softly. Thats fine, Yang Dingtian responded. Ning Rouer asked, You must be wondering, why do I, a woman of the Sky Phoenix Pavilion, gave birth to a child, right? Yang Dingtian instantly kept his silence. I, I was forcefully violated... Ning Rouer spoke with a sobbing voice. Yang Dingtian instantly flared up and asked, Who is it?! I am going to kill him! I do not know who he is. Ning Rouer explained, One day when my master sent me and two of my senior sisters to the Ecstasy Cliff, which wasnt far from Wooden Sword Castle. Do you know of that place? Yang Dingtian was astonished as he said, I coincidentally know it. There is actually a secret room on the top of Ecstasy Cliff. It was where that Heaven Dao Unions traitor from two centuries ago, where that monster Li Tianxiao was hiding in seclusion after he was severely injured, Ning Rouer explained softly. Ahh... Yang Dingtian was surprised. When we found the secret room, that man was there as well. His martial prowess was at a very high level. Even the three of us werent a match for him. He quickly defeated us and just as he was going to kill us... he saw my face and instantly changed his mind. He, he forcefully defiled me... When Ning Rouer spoke until this point, she finally cried out, and her voice was filled with shame. Afterwards, I wanted to kill myself, but he was too powerful and didnt allow me to do so. We then lived in that secret room for more than a month. During that period, he treated me very well and didnt violate me again. He asked me to follow him back, but I didnt agree, no matter what. He wasnt willing to let me go. Hence we continued to stay in the secret room. When my master saw that none of us returned for a long time, she was worried that we might have encountered danger; thus, she came looking for us at Ecstasy Cliff. As a result, she saw him and had an intense battle. He might be formidable, but my master is a Master class expert. He was in a perilous situation and nearly lost his life. Finally, with the help of medicines, he managed to escape. When he was fleeing, he asked me to go find him at the East Parting Courtyard. Ning Rouer paused before saying, Master knew that I had been tainted, but she knew that I was violated. Hence, she didnt blame me. She then brought us back to Sky Phoenix Pavilion. But unexpectedly, I realized that I was pregnant after returning, and my mystic qi was slowly fading away. I was originally the most outstanding disciple of the Sky Phoenix Pavilion and was set to inherit the Hostess surplice. But, I was actually tainted by a man and got pregnant. Thus, all the sisters in the pavilion despised me and pointed out at me. But master still pardoned me and found a secluded valley in the Sky Phoenix Pavilion for me to reside and give birth to my child. She even said that it wasnt my fault and that she would personally nurture little Ning Ning so that she can take over as the new Sky Phoenix Pavilions Hostess on my behalf. Thus, even though I was very unfortunate, I had a master that loved and tolerated me. I originally thought that I would just live my entire life in the valley and watch how little Ning Ning grew up until the day she became the Hostess of the Sky Phoenix Pavilion. But... Ning Rouers voice changed in a mournful tone, But, half a year ago, my master went on the trip and never returned. Everyone was worried, but they didnt think much of it. Until the Sky Phoenix Festival, which was one month ago, yet my master still had yet to return. Therefore, everyone felt that the master wasnt going to return any more. Subsequently, my Martial Aunt became the new Hostess, and she felt that I was a disgrace to the Sky Phoenix Pavilion, and drove little Ning Ning and me out. Immediately after, Ning Rouer corrected her words, Actually, she didnt drive us out. She asked me to bring little Ning Ning to look for her father. Sister Rouer. Do you like him? Yang Dingtian suddenly asked. I, I dont know. Ning Ruoer said, He said he liked me, he loved me, and he was willing to give up everything for me. Sigh... Yang Dingtian sighed lightly and said, When I get back Cloud Heaven City, and if you are not having a good time over at his side, you can come to Cloud Heaven City and look for me. I will treat you like my own elder sister and do my best to nurture little Ning Ning. Ning Rouer stayed silent for a moment and replied softly, Alright. Immediately after, Ning Rouer suddenly said, If it isnt for the fact that I cannot protect Ning Ning, I wont go look for him, I am not willing to look for him. He might be the only man that I have, but my heart has this scar that will never be erased. But, but, he did violate me. I-I dont know how I should say this. In short, dont look down on me... I understand, I understand... Yang Dingtian replied. Ah... Suddenly, Ning Rouer exclaimed. What happened? Yang Dingtian asked anxiously. There is a ship. There is a ship in the sea. Have the pirates caught up? Ning Rouer said, Little Brother, the people on the ship can see me. I am coming over to wear my clothes. ************************* Yang Dingtian was alarmed. He put down little Ning Ning and ran over to the other side of the boulder. He extinguished the fire and laid down to observe the ship in the sea. There was a total of three ships that looked magnificent, and they had the flags of the Heaven Dao Union. On the other side of the flag was a symbol of a soaring phoenix. Sister Rouer, those arent the pirates. They are the Sky Phoenix Pavilion from the northwest continents foothold. They must be looking for you, Yang Dingtian said. One could identify from the flag to see this group was from the Sky Phoenix Pavilions foothold in the northwest continent and not the headquarters of the Sky Phoenix Pavilion. When all the various distinguished branches left their own territory, they have to hang up the Heaven Dao Unions flag in order to roam the other regions. Ning Rouer, is that you? A womans voice called out from the ship. Its Senior Yang Min. She was sent to the northwest continent half a year ago, Ning Rouer said. She quickly wore her clothes and waved towards the large ship while calling out, Senior Sister Yang, I am over here. Soon enough, four sword-wielding females floated down from the ship. With a light tip of their toes, they flew like the wind and swiftly arrived in front of Ning Rouer and Yang Dingtian. The disciples from Sky Phoenix Pavilion were truly all very beautiful. They were all wearing different colored dresses, indicating their different ranks. The leader was Yang Min, who was wearing a pink embroidered dress. She was very tall, and she had well-developed breasts. She had a gorgeous looking face, especially those red lips which were ample and captivating. Ning Rouer, who is this man? When Yang Min saw the exposed Yang Dingtian, her shapely brows knitted as she asked in a chilly voice. He is my benefactor. He was the one that rescued me from the pirates, Ning Rouer explained. Yang Min scanned her doubtful eyes across Ning Rouer and Yang Dingtian. The main pavilions seabird sent us a message, saying the sea wasnt peaceful. They asked us to send out ships to pick you up and escort you to the East Parting Courtyard, Yang Min spoke while having this despising and envious expression. It was obvious that little Ning Nings father was an influential figure. Hence the Sky Phoenix Pavilion was treating them so seriously. s?a??h th? Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Thank you, Senior Sister, Ning Rouer responded. Yang Min said, Pack your things and come along with us. Little Brother, you should come with me. The pirates might come at any moment. Return to the northwest continent back with us first, Ning Rouer said to Yang Dingtian. No! Yang Min spoke coldly, The Sky Phoenix Pavilions ship will not let any man board it. Ning Rouer pleaded, But he is my benefactor. Yang Min said, The rules of the Sky Phoenix Pavilion must not be broken. At least, one mustnt break it the second time, Ning Rouer. Yang Min looked at Ning Rouer with eyes that were implying something, which were filled with sarcasm and criticism. Ning Rouer had been struck where she was hurt. Her expression immediately turned deathly pale. Madam Ning, a man like me would be inconvenient to board the ship of the Sky Phoenix Pavilion. Would you be able to grant me a small boat instead? This place is just a few hundred miles from the northwest continent, and I can row myself there, Yang Dingtian proposed. Ning Rouer said, But, you still have her with you. You will be in danger again when she awakens. Furthermore, there are plenty of pirates on the sea. Pirates? We have already killed them back to their lair. Yang Min said, We can offer him a boat, but he must never board the ship with us! Afterward, Yang Min stepped forward to carry Ning Rouer by her waist, while another Sky Phoenix Pavilions disciple went over to carry little Ning Ning. Tipping off the ground, they swiftly flew back to the large ship. Little Brother, if you have the spare time, come look for me at East Parting Courtyard! Ning Rouer yelled out to Yang Dingtian. I will! Yang Dingtian replied loudly. Wait a moment... Ning Rouer struggled to get off from Yang Min and suddenly came over to hug Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian was instantly astonished. Ning Rouer, what are you doing?! Yang Min indignantly rebuked. Ning Rouer tore off a piece of her clothing and stuffed it into Yang Dingtians hand. Little Brother, there is something inside the cloth which was obtained from Li Tianxiao. It should be very precious, and I have no use for it. You take it, Ning Rouer whispered into Yang Dingtians ears. As soon as she finished, Ning Rouer turned and walked away. You truly have no shame, Yang Min reprimanded coldly. ********************* The Sky Phoenix Pavilions ship took Ning Rouer and little Ning Ning away, leaving behind a boat for Yang Dingtian. When they were far away, Yang Dingtian loosened his palm. It was half a piece of inner clothing which was knitted with pink silk, which Ning Rouer had always been wearing on her. Ning Rouer said that there was something in it, and Yang Dingtian couldnt help but pinch it. He realized that there was indeed something in between the layers. As he looked from the needlework, it looked as though it was sewn on recently. She might have sewn it on when she decided to leave the Sky Phoenix Pavilion to go look for that man. Yang Dingtian gently opened up the layers of the inner silk clothing and took out that item. It was a piece of paper, which was very thin and yet very sharp. Furthermore, it must have been around for a long time, as it looked like it was aged and ancient. On the paper was a diagram, which looked like a map. It was cluttered with many wordings, and Yang Dingtian could even recognize a few words. His master, Dongfang Niemie, had taught him the important wordings of this world, but there were numerous different languages in the world. Especially those races which were isolated from the world, which used a completely different kind of language. The wording of this paper should be some mysterious races wordings. Soon enough, Yang Dingtian gave up on identifying these wordings as he had no idea. Immediately after, Yang Dingtian was instantly attracted by that lump of flames that was in the center of the diagram. It was a red flame that was bright red like blood and spiritual like an immortal! This flame looked as though it was alive. It was incomparably beautiful and captivating. Could this be a map for the heaven and earth mystic flame? Yang Dingtians heart jumped, while his blood surged in his body, and his breathing instantly got erratic. The heaven and earth mystic flame was paramount for any martial artist. It could even be considered as a spirit soul of a martial artist. Everyone knew that when a martial artist reached the rank of the Great Mystic Martial Master, they had to refine their core flame. With the core flame, the martial artists cultivation would instantly advance in leaps and bounds, as they would be able to practice mystic skills, create a martial soul, and many other things... Most of the martial artists in the world would go look for a demonic beast mystic flames to refine their own core flame. But for the most elite martial artists in the world, they had to go find the heaven and earth mystic flames. As the name suggested, it was a mystic flame that absorbed limitless energy in heaven and earth and was born after a millennium. This was a flame that possessed life and spirit soul; it was an extremely formidable flame. Once the heaven and earth mystic flame was refined into a core flame, everything would only require half the effort and be able to achieve great advancement. Even if the martial artist didnt do anything and simply mixed the core flame into a mystic skill or martial skill, they would be able to kill experts who were much stronger than them. In the entire world, there were less than six individuals who were able to refine the heaven and earth mystic flame as their core flame. All those people were Grandmaster class martial experts and were standing on the pinnacle of the Primal Chaos World! Chapter 154: Impersonating the No.1 Martial Expert of the World! Chapter 154: Impersonating the No.1 Martial Expert of the World!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales However, for Yang Dingtian, there was a much more important purpose of the heaven and earth mystic flame. That was to forge the young sword into a true soul sword and also to cultivate the sword soul. In the latter stage, when he needed to cleanse his meridians, he would also require the heaven and earth mystic flame. In other words, without the heaven and earth mystic flame, it would just be a pipedream for Yang Dingtian to take back Cloud Heaven City. Without the heaven and earth mystic flame, all of the Yang Dingtians missions could be disregarded. But these heaven and earth mystic flames were extremely rare. Just that peak grade coal-seam fire, which was located in the Fire Cloud Devil Cave, required a radius of a thousand miles of soil to produce one. As for heaven and earth mystic flame, it would require at least ten thousand miles of soil to produce one. Whenever there was a leak of information about a heaven and earth mystic flame, the entire Primal Chaos World would be in a complete frenzy. The Yin Yang Sect, Mystic Heaven Sect, and even the Hidden Sect would turn out in full strength. They would fight over it regardless of the price and number of dead bodies. **************************************** Yang Dingtian had slightly cooled down and involuntarily concerned again. Was this map in his hands the map to a heaven and earth mystic flame? Would such a precious item fall into his hands so easily? But if it were obtained from the possessions of that devil Li Tianxiao, it must be precious, right? He must have earned great karma for saving Ning Rouer and her daughter. Hence he obtained such a great reward. A pity that he couldnt recognize the wordings on it, otherwise he would be able to ascertain if this were the map to a heaven and earth mystic flame. A pity that his master, Dongfang Niemie, had yet to awaken, otherwise, he would be able to read these wordings. Yang Dingtian looked at this map for a moment longer and found out that he couldnt understand anything written on it. He had no choice but to calm down his emotional feelings and his boiling blood. After all, the most important matter right now was to forge the soul sword in the Fire Cloud Devil Cave since the soul sword was the most crucial item for himself to have a stronger foundation. After storing the map into the spatial ring, Yang Dingtian took a deep breath before he headed over to the unconscious Dugu Fengwu. He first made sure that she was still alive and unconscious. Subsequently, he had to leave her on this deserted island and row his boat away and towards the Fire Cloud Devil Cave as fast as he could. Otherwise, when she would wake up and regain her formidable strength, he wouldnt be able to leave anymore. ****************************************** Dugu Fengwu was still unconscious like a sleeping beauty, whose gorgeous face was pale and devoid of the color of blood. Yang Dingtian carried her up and found a rather secluded place to hide her. I am leaving. The rest is up to your own fate, said Yang Dingtian, as he was about to walk over to the small boat. But when he was half his way to the boat, he couldnt help but turn back because he realized that Dugu Fengwus wound was bleeding again. If she were a regular woman and this wound continued to worsen, she would probably die. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and came back. He crouched down beside her and undid her clothes to check her wound. Yang Dingtians sword had pierced her right chest, leaving a three or four inches deep and one-inch long wound. Yang Dingtian took out a superior elixir to gently rub over her wound. During this process, his palm would inevitably make contact with her tender skin, causing him to shift his gaze away unnaturally. Ningnings elixirs were exceptionally effective. After rubbing it over her wound, it had immediately stopped the bleeding. Immediately after, Yang Dingtian took out the Silk Snow Brocade from Dugu Fengwus waist and drew out a few strands. He then took out a thin needle from the spatial ring. After threading the needle, Yang Dingtian slowly stitched up Dugu Fengwus wound. This rare silk was very thin, and when stitched on wounds, it wouldnt leave any scars. Yang Dingtian stitched it very delicately and did over ten stitches for a wound, which was only over an inch long. Alright, done! Yang Dingtian instinctively wanted to bite off the strand with his teeth and immediately felt that it was inappropriate, as he switched to using his sword to cut off the strand. But before he even had time to lift his head, he instantly felt an ice-cold feeling on his neck, while his hairs stood on its end slowly. There was this dangerous energy that instantly locked onto him. No way... Yang Dingtian gasped in his heart and slowly lifted his head. As he expected, Dugu Fengwu had awakened, and both her eyes were opened. Her gorgeous face was cold as ice, as though it was enveloped in frost. Have, have you regained your mystic qi? Yang Dingtian asked with a hoarse voice. Dugu Fengwu nodded and noticed that she wasnt wearing her clothes as though she didnt even mind it. I am just helping to treat and stitch up your wounds. Otherwise, you would continue bleeding and might even leave behind an awful looking scar, Yang Dingtian explained. Dugu Fengwu nodded again, but she didnt seem to be pleased. If you didnt lose your memory, you should remember that I have saved your life. I rescued you from the evil clutches of those pirates, Yang Dingtian stated. Dugu Fengwu nodded again. It would be good as long as you can remember the gratitude of saving your life. It would be better than falling emotionlessly, right? Yang Dingtian felt relief in his heart as he said, Alright then. Do you have anything you want to say, and what do you plan to do? Hand over the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, or I will sever you into pieces, Dugu Fengwu spoke in a cold voice. Yang Dingtian rolled his eyes and nearly fainted. Why was this demon woman still saying this? Couldnt she change to a new trick? Yang Dingtian endured his anger and replied, Are you out of your mind? I just saved your life, and you want to sever me into pieces? Do you even have a conscience? I do not have a conscience. Do you only know this now? Does a demon woman even need a conscience? Dugu Fengwu spoke indifferently, Whats more, did I ask you to save me? In an instant, Yang Dingtian was speechless as he looked towards the sky. I am speechless to encounter such a shameless demon woman like you. I am not going to waste my saliva on you. Do whatever you want, but I will not give you the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, no matter what, Yang Dingtian replied coldly. Dugu Fengwu stood up and said in a cold voice, Are you truly not afraid of death? Yang Dingtian immediately closed his eyes as he didnt even want to speak of another word to this unreasonable demon woman. In an instant, Yang Dingtian felt a chill on his neck as a sharp sword was placed on his neck. If you are not going to hand over the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, then you are going to die! Dugu Fengwu yelled out. Yang Dingtian still had his eyes shut and didnt say a single word. Then, I apologize. You are asking for it. I will kill you then dissect your corpse. I dont believe that I will not be able to find the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, Dugu Fengwu spoke coldly and suddenly slashed her sword down. Bang... Yang Dingtian felt a chill and extreme pain on his neck, causing his entire body to collapse on the ground. Dugu Fengwu used the flat side of the sword instead of the bladed edge. She ultimately didnt kill Yang Dingtian. If it werent for the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, I really wish to take off your annoying head, Dugu Fengwu spoke with anguish. Yang Dingtian opened his eyes and revealed a smile. So, you are not going to kill me? Dont you dare to take advantage of this situation, Dugu Fengwu stated and cut off the strand from her wound. She behaved so bossily even when cutting off a thread. Subsequently, when she took a few steps forward and frowned. It is all your fault. I wish that I can sever you into pieces right now. Dugu Fengwu spoke with resentment, Where is the Silk Snow Brocade? Yang Dingtian quickly handed over the snow brocade. This womens business is truly disgusting, Dugu Fengwu spoke coldly. Yang Dingtian got a shock and immediately turned around. Dugu Fengwu stomped on the ground, while her snow-white body flew several meters, as she quickly looked for a clean pool. She naturally preferred cleanliness, and it was unbearable for her to have any bloodstain. She had to find a clean pool to wash her body clean. She quickly found it, which was 2,000 meters northwest in a dense forest. Dugu Fengwu spun in midair and drifted over to the pool. But when she was flying, she used her palm to create a suction force and pulled Yang Dingtian into the sky before wedging him at her waist. You crazy woman. Why do you need to bring me everywhere you go? Are you sick?! Yang Dingtian spoke with anger. Dugu Fengwu said in a cold voice, From now onwards, you will not leave my line of sight, all the way until the Fire Cloud Devil Cave. I dont believe you wouldnt take out the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl by then. You... This demon woman really has no sense of shame. You are just an unreasonable demon woman, Yang Dingtian spoke while gritting his teeth. ************************************************* Two days later, Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwu arrived 1,000 miles outside of Iron Furnace City. The Iron Furnace City was located at the southeast part of the northwest continent, which was around 5,000 miles from Cloud Heaven City and close to 2,000 miles from Fire Cloud Devil Cave. Of course, the Cloud Heaven City was northwest to the Iron Furnace City, while the Fire Cloud Devil Cave was northeast to the Iron Furnace City, on an isolated volcano island. The Iron Furnace City was a city of weapons, a city of forging. Almost the entire Primal Chaos Worlds weaponsmith clans were revolving around the vicinity of the Iron Furnace City. Most of the worlds weapons trade and deals were all conducted in Iron Furnace City. Dugu Fengwu and Yang Dingtian only had one objective at Iron Furnace City, which was the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer. Only this hammer could forge a blood black gold young sword. The blood black gold was already the tough and the most heat resistant metal in the world, and only the peak grade coal-seam fire could smelt the blood black gold. When the blood black gold was at an extremely high temperature, no other hammers in the world could do any forging to it. Because upon contact with the red hot blood black gold, even the toughest hammer would turn into molten iron, even if it was for a split second. And this Mystic Fire Devil Hammer was actually made with blood black gold. Thus, in this world, only the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer could be used to forge soul swords. There was only one clan in the world that possessed the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer. It would be the leading figure of the Iron Furnace City, the Divine Weapons Manor. The Divine Weapons Manor wasnt among the Three Sects, Nine Clans, Twenty Seven Branches. But they were the core strength of the Heaven Dao Union, and their statuses werent inferior to the prestigious sects. It was because most of the divine weapons came from the Divine Weapons Manor. The Divine Weapons Manor had close ties with nearly all of the notable and influential forces. Hence, no one in the world dared to offend them. There would be someone who wanted to forge a soul sword every few dozen years. What happened if they required the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer? Simple. They just had to borrow it from the Divine Weapons Manor! Most of the time, as long as one had a prominent status, they would be able to borrow it. Dongfang Niemie borrowed it from the Divine Weapons Manor, and so did Ximen Wuya. Without any exception, those who came to borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer were all great marital masters in the world. The owner of Terror Manor, Zhao Wuji, had once borrowed the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer from the Divine Weapons Manor as well. He brought along a few hundred thousand gold coins and countless treasures. But, Zhao Wuji was driven away before he even entered the door of the Divine Weapons Manor. Afterward, it was the Northwest Qin Clan Head who stepped in and helped Zhao Wuji to borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer. It was clear that the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer could be borrowed, but it was only lent out to the martial masters or the members of the Three Sects and Nine Clans. The Twenty Seven Branches didnt even have that qualification, let alone those nameless people. Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwu definitely belonged in the nameless people group. Yang Dingtian was the successor of the Cloud Heaven City Lord and was also the disciple of Dongfang Niemie. But it was regretful that he must not expose his identity. Dugu Fengwu was the princess of the Temple of Blood and the number-one beauty prodigy of the Evil Dao. It was a pity that the evil and the righteous had never coexisted. Once Dugu Fengwu exposed her identity, the entire Iron Furnace City would definitely conduct a frenzied pursuit. But even though they knew those facts, Dugu Fengwu and Yang Dingtian still came to the Iron Furnace City. They put on some disguises and were heading towards the Divine Weapons Manor to borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer. The Divine Weapons Manor wasnt located in the city but on Mt. Black Edge, which was a hundred miles away. ************************************** Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwu had arrived at the best inn in Iron Furnace City. They were both cladded in black mantles and concealing their faces. But the people around them didnt look at them with curious eyes, because there were plenty of such people in the city. We would like two of the best rooms, Dugu Fengwu requested. As such, the inn gave the two of them the best and most expensive rooms. The two rooms were next to each other. They arrived at the entrance of the rooms and waited for the servant to leave. Yang Dingtian then said, If we are to go and borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer in this state, we wont be able to borrow it. What ideas do you have? Dugu Fengwu immediately handed over a piece of human skin mask and clothes while instructing, Wear this mask and change into these clothes. Yang Dingtian couldnt understand, but now that this demon woman had regained her prowess, he didnt try to resist. ***************** After entering the room, Yang Dingtian took a bath in the bathtub, completely cleansing his body. He then put on the clothes in front of the mirror and put on a brand new disguise. He changed a brand new mask, which was also the most lifelike mask in his spatial ring. But unfortunately, it was also the most handsome mask. In fact, it was excessively handsome and was comparable to that pretty boy, Zhu Hongxue. He put on the mask slowly and made sure that it fit seamlessly. He then carefully put on a set of long hair and expensive embroidered clothes that were made from silk. An extremely cool and charming man appeared in the mirror. It was cool because this mask was originally cool. Furthermore, this mask wasnt lifelike like a mirage mask. Thus, it wasnt suited to have multiple emotions. Otherwise, it would just seem very unnatural. I really didnt intend to make myself so handsome, Yang Dingtian let out a bitter smile to himself in the mirror. He then took a deep breath and maintained his cool expression before walking out of the room. Just as he walked out of the door, he immediately attracted plenty of glances, as almost everyone turned to look at him, and not only the females. But those females had fervent eyes, which were in a daze. Dugu Fengwu had yet come out of the room. Yang Dingtian just stood there waiting by the entrance for more than one hour, before she opened the door. The moment she walked out, everyone got a shock again as everyones eyes were fervent and infatuated. Yang Dingtian was also stunned. Of course, Yang Dingtian was already used to Dugu Fengwus absolute beauty. Hence, he wasnt instantly stunned. He was surprised because Dugu Fengwu had changed into a completely different individual, in terms of her personality. Thats right. In the past, Dugu Fengwu was already one of the most beautiful women in the world, but she had never treated herself as a woman. Even Yang Dingtian treated her like Dongfang Bubai, as she had this indistinguishable and unique charm of both a man and a female. (TL note: It was mentioned in the earlier chapters that Dongfang Bubai is a character in one of the Jinyong Novels.) Previously, she didnt reveal any hint of feminine aura from head to toe, but right now, she was oozing with feminine aura from every corner of her body. But right now, the woman in front of Yang Dingtian had this femme fatale look, which was emitting seductive looks. Every inch of her body had the charm of a woman. Her face had completely changed, but there werent any signs of disguise or mask. To be honest, her disguised face wasnt as beautiful as her real face. The crucial part was the charm, which might have risen to the level of a demon. Be it her eyes, frown, or smile; it was all so captivating and seductive. Dugu Fengwu was very tall and had a great figure, but she was always wearing mens clothes, which concealed her curves. But right now, she was wearing a pink palace dress, which completely displayed her figure. Right now, she had curves like the undulating mountain ranges, which completely explained the meaning of devilish curves. Any man would probably be fascinated with a single glance. ************************************************* Are, are you trying to use a honey trap on the people of the Divine Weapons Manor? Yang Dingtian looked at Dugu Fengwu and couldnt help but ask. Dugu Fengwu looked at Yang Dingtian indifferently and said, Do you have any objection? Yang Dingtian was startled as he shook his head and replied, Nope. Dugu Fengwu took out a blue gemstone pendant and wore it on her neck, making her glow with the aura of precious stones and even more charming. Remember, from now on, I am the Seven Refined Lanes Third Lady Gongsun, Dugu Fengwu stated. Yang Dingtian was instantly astonished. The Seven Refined Lane was one of the Three Sects, Nine Clans, Twenty Seven Branches and were renowned in the world. They were just like the Sky Phoenix Pavilion, where all their disciples were female. But their fame was must more prominent than the Sky Phoenix Pavilion. The disciples from the Seven Refined Lane often traveled the world and generously displayed their beauty and sex appeal to the world. Moreover, the Seven Refined Lane didnt forbid their members from getting married. In fact, there were numerous disciples from the Seven Refined Lane who married into the various prestigious sects. The women from the Seven Refined Lane were like the blessing that every man dreamed of. There was indeed a Third Lady Gongsun, and she was ranked third in the Seven Refined Lane. Furthermore, she was a renowned beauty in the world. In terms of looking for a marriage partner, all the men in the world wouldnt be looking for the Nine Heavens Fairy, Dongfang Bingling, nor the princess of Cloud Heaven City, Ximen Yanyan. Every man would be targeting Third Lady Gongsun because Third Lady Gongsun was both exceptional in looks and skills. Especially her sword dance which was world renowned Most importantly, Third Lady Gongsun was charming and delicate, who couldnt be compared with the arrogant fairy as Dongfang Bingling. It isnt good to impersonate the world-renowned Third Lady Gongsun, right? Yang Dingtian couldnt help but comment. Dugu Fengwu looked at Yang Dingtian and said, I am the real Third Lady Gongsun! Ahh? Yang Dingtian got a shock. Third Lady Gongsun was Dugu Fengwu? Dugu Fengwu was Third Lady Gongsun? It was truly unexpected that the famous Third Lady Gongsun, the most charming and captivating woman, was actually Dugu Fengwus alter ego? No wonder she was dressed so excessively, and in such exaggeration, it was because all women from the Seven Refined Lane were dressed like this. If this were the case, it seemed like the reputation of the Seven Refined Lane wasnt as upright, if they were all wearing in this manner, who would believe that they didnt have any purpose. My goodness... Yang Dingtian couldnt help but ask softly, Then why is the real you lack any hint feminism? It is because I have put on too much of a pretense, thus the reason why I hate feminism. Hence, I have complete disregard, and I despise it, Dugu Fengwu spoke with a deep grievance which was of those heart-wrenching types. Alright then, this reason was sufficient, and Yang Dingtian couldnt say anything else. But when properly thinking about it, it was hard to say which type of Dugu Fengwu was much more appealing. Immediately after, she glared with her beautiful eyes and said, Alright, keep all your nonsense. Lets go to the Divine Weapons Manor to borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer. Yang Dingtian hesitated slightly and said, I reckon that you are still not qualified even if you use your status as Third Lady Gongsun to borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer, right? s?a??h th? n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Dugu Fengwu replied indifferently, I am not qualified, but your status will be. Yang Dingtian spoke with a surprised tone, Then... what identity am I right now? The nameless successor of the formidable Hidden Sect, the supreme leader of the Heaven Dao Union, the true number-one martial expert of the world! Dugu Fengwu replied in a dull manner. Her tone was indifferent, as though she was just mentioning something trivial. Yang Dingtian was utterly shocked, as though he was struck by lightning. He asked in a trembling voice, Are, are you asking me to die without any burial grounds? This, this was truly a path towards death and one that might possibly end without a complete body. There would be nowhere that one would be able to seek shelter after doing this and getting caught. Yang Dingtian had done plenty of crazy things in the past, but none of those consequences would be worse than this. Once he was exposed, the consequences would be unbearable and unimaginable. Acting as the successor of the Hidden Sect? The leading figure of the Heaven Dao Union or even the leading figure of the entire world? Impersonating him? Even if one were to court death, they wouldnt be using this method. Chapter 155: Learning the Hidden Sect’s Sword Art, Shocking the Demon Woman! Chapter 155: Learning the Hidden Sects Sword Art, Shocking the Demon Woman!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales If you arent going to do it, then you shall die here without any burial grounds, Dugu Fengwu spoke indifferently before she turned her delicate body and then walked out. When Yang Dingtian followed her to the inns main hall, all the clamor suddenly went silent. It was as though the entire place had frozen in place. All the men who were staring at Dugu Fengwu had instantly forgotten about everything they were doing, as they just stared blankly. Lady Gongsun, Lady Gongsun... A few minutes later, everyone present was greeting Lady Gongsun. Everyone bowed in unison towards Dugu Fengwu. Even though their eyes were burning with passion, there werent any more of those lustful eyes, as there were only eyes of the utmost admiration. It was as though some fanatic fans seeing their idols back on modern-day Earth. Thats right, Third Lady Gongsun was just so famous and was able to cause all these men to go crazy. Please let us through... Dugu Fengwu nodded lightly and spoke in a soft voice. In an instant, everyone in the main hall opened up a pathway, while they saw Dugu Fengwu off with intoxicated eyes. As for Yang Dingtian at the back, he might be cool and handsome, but he was still ignored by all the men present. *********************** After boarding the carriage that was heading for Divine Weapons Manor, Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwu sat opposite each other. Yang Dingtian shifted his gaze unnaturally as this woman in front of him was truly excessively charming. It was strange because Dugu Fengwu wasnt as attractive to him. This Third Lady Gongsun in front of him was so mesmerizing that he didnt even dare to take another glance. Demon woman. Impersonating a disciple of the Hidden Sect has a very grave consequence, an extremely grave consequence... Yang Dingtian stated. Dugu Fengwu said, I didnt ask you to go and say that you are a disciple of the Hidden Sect. I just need you to give off that feeling that you are a disciple of the Hidden Sect. That is also considered courting death, Yang Dingtian replied. The Hidden Sect was the real number-one sect of the world. In the Primal Chaos World, the Hidden Sect was of the supreme existence and exceedingly refined, much more than the Yin Yang Sect and Mystic Heaven Sect. The Hidden Sect was mysterious yet powerful, flagging yet noble. During the previous two world extinguishing battles due to the Evil Dao, the final savior was always the Hidden Sect. But after saving the world, the Hidden Sect would immediately go in seclusion and would never try to boss around in the world. If it werent for the world being in danger, the members of the Hidden Sect would never even appear in the world. Thus, the Hidden Sect was the unquestionable leader of the Heaven Dao Union. Once the disciples of the Hidden Sect came out into the world, all the prestigious factions would be paying their respects. In short, impersonating a Hidden Sects disciple was a sin that carried a huge consequence because all the disciples of Hidden Sect were considered as the futures number-one martial expert of the world, the number-one leader of the Heaven Dao Union. Their statuses were much higher than Zhu Hongxue and even Dongfang Bingling. Dugu Fengwu said coldly, Do you think you have a choice? It was true. Did Yang Dingtian have a choice now? Obtaining the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer was more important than anything else. Furthermore, if the demon woman instructed him to do it, he didnt have the qualification to reject it as well. Immediately after, Yang Dingtian recalled something important and said, Hidden Sects disciples are all extremely formidable. If I impersonate one and yet dont have competent cultivation, wouldnt I be easily exposed? Who would dare to go against a Hidden Sects disciple? Dugu Fengwu said, It is because you are so weak; thus, it is safer for you to impersonate a Hidden Sects disciple. Otherwise, you would be killed more than 10,000 times. Subsequently, Dugu Fengwu took out a piece of green leaf ornament and handed it over to Yang Dingtian. Wear this on your neck and find a chance for the Divine Weapons Manors owner to see it. What is this? Yang Dingtian asked. It is a special ornament that only the Hidden Sects disciples have. Only a rare few individuals know about this, Dugu Fengwu replied. Then why do you have this? Yang Dingtian couldnt help but ask. What does that got to do with you? Dugu Fengwu spoke in a frustrated tone, as though she was especially unwilling to say it. Hurry up and wear it. Dont force me to do it, Dugu Fengwu threatened. Yang Dingtian used his hands to feel this dark green leaf ornament. There was an instant rush of mysterious and refreshing presence into his body, which relaxed the entire body. It was unquestionable that this item was real. The real ornament that belonged to the Hidden Sect. After wearing this, matters had just become serious, and the consequences would be awfully grave. Yang Dingtian gritted his teeth and wore the leaf ornament on his neck. No wonder Dugu Fengwu came to the Divine Weapons Manor with such confidence, it was because she already had a plan in advance. Of course, Yang Dingtian also had a plan to come and borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer, but his plan was even more dangerous and had a less possibility of borrowing it. You are a madwoman. I will probably die because of you, Yang Dingtian spoke with hatred. Your puny life is already in my hands, Dugu Fengwu spoke indifferently. ****************** Get down of the carriage, Dugu Fengwu spoke when the carriage stopped all of a sudden. Are we already at the Divine Weapons Manor? Yang Dingtian asked. If I tell you to get off, you just need to get off. Why do you ask so much? Dugu Fengwu said with an annoyed tone as though she had just eaten some gun powder. After Yang Dingtian got off the carriage, that coachman bowed to Dugu Fengwu before taking out an elixir to consume and left. The coachman didnt speak a single word from start to finish. He was obviously a coachman from the Evil Dao that was acting as a spy in the Heaven Dao Union. That elixir he just consumed was probably a kind of drug that would make him forget everything that he saw today. This place was a secluded and remote valley that had a pristine lake in the middle and was surrounded by green bamboos. Now, I will teach you a set of sword art. It is the Hidden Sects Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword. It has a total of ten moves, and each move has ten different forms, while every form has ten different variations. In short, it is the most complicated sword art, and you only have six hours to learn it. Dugu Fengwu said, I dont expect you to execute it proficiently with charm, but at least memorize it and at least have the form in appearance. Do you hear me? If you cannot do it, then there is no need to go to the Divine Weapons Manor. I will take off your dog head right here. What? Is there going to be a martial contest later on? Yang Dingtian asked. Martial contest? You would be immediately slaughtered if you were to join any. It is just in case, and it will allow you to use it to intimidate people, Dugu Fengwu explained. Originally, Yang Dingtian wanted to ask why did Dugu Fengwu know the Hidden Sects sword art, but from her attitude, he wouldnt be able to get an answer. Take a proper look. I am going to execute the first sword move of the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword, River Tears! Just as her voice went silent, Dugu Fengwus absolutely graceful body flew and floated in midair. The sharp sword in her hands gently revolved and twirled. Revolutions after revolutions. Every revolution looked the same, but every revolution looked a little different as well. Every time the blade revolved, Dugu Fengwus delicate body would swirl around using her body as the center of the revolution. Like a fairy, she danced in a circular manner as though it was in a dream or fantasy. The sword revolved for nine rounds, and Dugu Fengwu swirled for nine rounds as well. Immediately after performing the first move, Dugu Fengwu landed lightly beside Yang Dingtian. Did you see it clearly? Dugu Fengwu asked. Yang Dingtian didnt reply immediately and took a deep cold breath instead. This sword art was much too difficult! It was true that it might look simple, as though drawing circles. But in fact, every revolution was interrelated, every angle, every arc mustnt have the slightest amount of flaw. In fact, just this move alone could have more than a hundred variations. There could be hundreds or even thousands of variations. This sword art wouldnt be mastered even if Yang Dingtian practiced it 10,000 times, let alone 100 times or 1,000 times because it contained the mystic qi circulation route and every angle that the mystic qi grasped was extremely complicated. One would have to practice it countless times, even with the actual manual. Only by grasping the sword arts spirit and essence would one be able to master this sword art. Right now, there wasnt any manual, and to learn this sword art in six hours was something that was even more exaggerating than a fantasy story. Yang Dingtian shook his head and said, Without the manual and just looking at the sword move, it would be like a cat trying to act like a tiger. It is impossible to learn it. Let alone in six hours, even if I had six hundred or six thousand hours, it would still be impossible. I didnt ask you to learn it properly; you just need to act as though you know it and sufficiently to swindle people, Dugu Fengwu spoke with dissatisfaction. Immediately after, she spoke again, Whats more, I was only doing was a superficial sword move. The real River Tears would have countless teardrops dripped from the sky after executing the final sword. Every teardrop could kill someone invisibly. Ah... Is it that incredible? Yang Dingtian was astonished. Nonsense, if it isnt incredible, how could they rule the entire world? Dugu Fengwu snorted. Rule the world? Hidden Sect ruling the world? It had been more than a century since a member of the Hidden Sect had walked on this world. Alright, I will execute the River Tears again. This time, I will use some fraud to demonstrate the effects of the River Tears, Dugu Fengwu stated. Subsequently, Dugu Fengwus delicate body floated in midair. Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword, River Tears. A fairy wearing palace gown was swirling in midair, like a sharp sword rippling in limpid autumn waters, as she drew revolutions after revolutions. First revolution. Second revolution. Third... Fourth... Ninth revolution, complete. Dugu Fengwu drifted back to Yang Dingtians side. In an instant, the sky suddenly formed with countless teardrops. Each of them was translucent like crystals or precious stones, which looked magnificent as they suspended in midair. Afterward, the countless teardrops began to rain down, just like a hailstorm in a dream. Pa... The teardrops landed above the surface of the lake. In an instant, the serene surface of the lake had been destroyed. Every place the teardrops made contact with, the lakes water would be turned into mist and evaporated. When the teardrops fell onto the surface of the ground, it was as though thousands of raindrops raining down on the sandy shore, leaving behind pits which were almost a foot deep. As the teardrops fell onto the bamboo forest, leaves, branches, and trunks, it would all turn into dust. This was the power of the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword; this was the power of the Hidden Sects sword art. It was so powerful that it was stifling, it was so beautiful that it was stifling, it was so mysterious that it was stifling. After landing on the ground, Dugu Fengwus expression looked pale as she had exhausted a massive amount of her mystic qi. After all, she wasnt executing the real Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword. Instead, she was using her mystic qi to create such an effect. The true River Tears would be able to produce a hail of lethal teardrops effortlessly. Alright, you try it, Dugu Fengwu said and handed over her sword to Yang Dingtian. Cant I use my own sword? Yang Dingtian asked. Your sword looks like some fools sword. Who would believe that you are a disciple of the Hidden Sect? Dugu Fengwu scoffed. Yang Dingtian took over the sword. It looked like an ordinary sword, but once he wielded it, Yang Dingtian could feel what so extraordinary about this sword was. A simple and unadorned presence gushed into the body, and Yang Dingtian could feel as though the sword was gasping. It felt as though a gasp that was a thousand-years-old, or even ten-thousand-years-old. It was needless to say that this sword had been existing for a very long time, but he didnt know how long has it been around for. This sword was only slightly more than five kilograms. When observed from a distance, it was clear like the autumn waters. But a closer look at it would allow one to notice the bright red veins in the depths of the blade, which were like fresh blood. This sword is truly from the Hidden Sect? Yang Dingtian asked. This artifact couldnt be counterfeit and had the qi presence of the Hidden Sect, which was unadorned and reclusive, yet permeating into the universe. Dugu Fengwu nodded her head. What was used to forge this sword? Yang Dingtian asked again. 99 blood black gold and 99 black ice iron jade, Dugu Fengwu replied. Yang Dingtian instantly took a deep cold breath. Such luxury! Blood black gold, which was used to forge yang attribute soul sword and black ice iron jade, which was used to forge yin attribute soul sword. Right now, those were actually subtlely combined. A total of 198 pieces were used to forge this artifact sword, which was only around 5 kilograms. It was truly shocking. It was unquestionable that this was a divine weapon, and only the members of the Hidden Sect would possess it. It was no wonder there was this boundless energy that came from just wielding the sword, but yet it didnt have any presence of smoke and fire. But Yang Dingtian didnt know how such an artifact sword would be in the hands of Dugu Fengwu. Of course, it was useless even if she had this sword because divine weapons all knew how to recognize the owners. I am really going to be framed to death by you, Yang Dingtian gritted his teeth and said. Wielding a divine weapon and impersonating a Hidden Sect disciple would truly shock the world. If Yang Dingtian were exposed, he would truly die without any burial grounds. I dont know if I will frame you to death, but if you dont quickly practice the sword art, you will certainly be killed by me, Dugu Fengwu spoke indifferently. Demon woman, you are a demon woman. Yang Dingtian gritted his teeth and brandished the sharp sword while saying, When the day comes when I surpass you, I will torture you so much that you will beg for life and not get it, nor would you receive death when you wish for it. Dugu Fengwu looked at Yang Dingtian and sneered. You will never get that chance, and that day will never arrive, as I will slaughter you first. If I knew you are so cruel and ungrateful, I wouldnt have saved your back at sea. I should have let those pirates... Before Yang Dingtian finished his statement, he changed his words, I should have stabbed you to death when you were weak. Serves you right. Who asked you to be so foolish, Dugu Fengwu spoke apathetically. Yang Dingtian was truly going to erupt from anger. He then yelled out, Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword. First move, River Tears! Afterward, he swiftly swirled and danced in midair, while his sword drew revolutions after revolutions. The motions were correct, but it was fast and rapid, unlike Dugu Fengwus fairy-like gracefulness. In less than 15 seconds, Yang Dingtian had executed the imitation River Tears. Dugu Fengwus charming face turned cold as she berated, Yang Dingtian, are you intentionally making things difficult for me? Can you do it even more disgracefully? What? Yang Dingtian said, Didnt you say just to make the motions look alike? My motions were all correct. Dugu Fengwu was instantly infuriated as she huffed so much her perky breasts were undulating, as though her dress was going to burst apart. Are you doing River Tears or pig slaying? I wish I could just kill you with a palm strike now, Dugu Fengwu said. Immediately after, Dugu Fengwu withdrew her anger and revealed a cold expression, You do it again. If it is still the same, I will not kill you. I will castrate you. As she finished her statement, her eyes scanned across Yang Dingtians crotch as she said in a cold voice, Since you violated me, it is a punishment you deserve. Yang Dingtians body shook and felt a chill at his private part. Forget it. She is a heartless demon woman, and she will really do what she just said. I better not infuriate her for a moment. Yang Dingtian thought in his heart. As for the matter of violating her, he had already explained countless times and didnt want to waste his saliva anymore. Alright. This time I will put in my effort, but no matter what the effects are like, you have to acknowledge it. Yang Dingtian spoke in a serious tone, After all, without any manual and without knowing the essence of the sword art, there is no use even to practice this superficially. Finishing his statement, Yang Dingtian gradually closed their eyes and allowed himself to immerse himself in the sword art. Afterward, Yang Dingtian recalled Dugu Fengwus demonstration of the Swaying Calamity Crossing Swords first move, River Tears. Every motion, every angle was appearing in his mind. After taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian tipped off the ground and flew into midair. Slowly, he thrust the sword in his hand. It was sharp and clear like the limpid autumn waters, which rippled out. After drawing the first revolution, he started the second revolution. Dugu Fengwu, who was observing from the ground, she let out a deep breath of relief and couldnt help but admit Yang Dingtians talents. When he did it seriously, every sword move was just like hers and without the slightest difference, as though it was replicated. There were countless variations to this sword move, and Yang Dingtian had only seen it twice. If this were the case, it wouldnt take more than four hours to finish learning the ten moves of the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword. Yang Dingtian was still drawing revolutions in midair as he completely imitated Dugu Fengwu and slowly executed the River Tears. At the fourth revolution, Yang Dingtian felt a jolt from the depths of his mystic qi, as though it was trying to get out. How could this be? When all martial artists chose to practice a certain martial skill, their qi vessel would be completely bound with that martial skill. No matter how powerful or how mystical other martial skills were, the qi vessel shouldnt have any kind of reaction. All martial artists in the world could only learn a single type of martial skill in their lifetime. But right now, Yang Dingtians qi vessel was actually reacting to the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword? What was going on? This didnt conform to the martial dao logic of the Primal Chaos World, right? Such a thing shouldnt be happening, right? But in fact, it did happen. When Yang Dingtian imitated the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword, it caused his qi vessel to react. Then, there was only one explanation. It meant that the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword had a certain relation to the Pig Slaying Sword Art. But, the world couldnt have two similar types of martial skill because every martial skills mystic meridians route were completely different. Then, what exactly was happening? When Yang Dingtian was drawing the fifth revolution, he finally couldnt resist the jolting of the mystic qi in his qi vessel. The mystic qi emerged from the qi vessel, passed through his mystic meridians, and entered the sharp sword in Yang Dingtians hand. Swish... Yang Dingtians sword drew a flawless fifth revolution in midair. A white halo was formed, and it materialized in midair, which looked wonderful. When Yang Dingtian was drawing the sixth revolution, all his mystic qi had started to circulate rapidly. Huff... The sixth revolution ripped apart the air as pure mystic qi condensed in midair, forming a faint glistening sixth revolution. Yang Dingtian was unconscious of it, but Dugu Fengwu was completely stunned as she couldnt believe what she was seeing. How could this happen? How could this possibly happen? She was the number-one prodigy in the Evil Dao, and when demonstrating the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword, it was in appearance only. But this Yang Dingtian wasnt merely imitating and had completely entered the essence of the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword. The current Yang Dingtian had completely immersed into the mystical world of the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword. His revolutions were getting slower, and it looked even more flawlessly round, brighter, materialized, and graceful. In fact, his current motions were already different from Dugu Fengwu, as he was chasing after the mystic qi circulation route and his own feeling. Right now, he could clearly feel that the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword and his own Pig Slaying Sword Art, might be different in appearance, but it was closely connected on the inside like the blood vessels. It was remarkably similar but different in forms! This so-called Hidden Sects sword art and the Pig Slaying Sword Art might be completely different in appearance, but the mystic qi attribute was remarkably similar. It was as though the bone roots were of the same martial skill, but demonstrating with different forms. It was as though the Pig Slaying Sword Art was the next level of the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword. Yang Dingtian could feel subtly that the Pig Slaying Sword Art was superior, and it was upgraded from the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword by a supreme expert. The Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword looked mystical and graceful, while Pig Slaying Sword Art was direct, crude, and ugly. But the two had similar foundations. It was as though regaining the natural state and moving from gorgeous to low-profile. Eighth revolution. Ninth revolution. Every revolution was hovering in midair and rippling softly. When the River Tears had been completely demonstrated, Yang Dingtian drifted back to where he jumped off from. Immediately after, those circular arcs in midair started to disintegrate and scatter. They turned into a sky filled with tears, translucent teardrops. Splash, Crash, Splash! All the teardrops rained down like a hailstorm. The surface of the lake sputtered with mists. Countless shallow pits appeared on the surface of the ground. Countless bamboo leaves were shredded, and countless branches were broken. Thats right; the final teardrops werent as many or as powerful as Dugu Fengwus rendition. But Dugu Fengwu was completely stunned and felt as though she was in a dream because the teardrops from her demonstration were fake and were imitated by using a massive amount of mystic qi. S~?a??h the N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. While the teardrops from Yang Dingtians River Tears were real!, Yang Dingtian was also completely shocked to see the raining teardrops. Dugu Fengwu made him learn the superficial Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword, but he had actually executed the real River Tears. Chapter 156: Zealotry! Divine Weapons Manor Chapter 156: Zealotry! Divine Weapons ManorTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales He didnt know how the Hidden Sect was related to his Pig Slaying Sword Art. Seeing Dugu Fengwus complicated expression, Yang Dingtian shook his hand and said, Dont ask me, I do not know why either. Dugu Fengwu said, I will not ask you. I just thought if I should kill you now. Yang Dingtian instantly felt a chill on his neck as this demon woman was serious, and she would do what she mentioned. Afterward, Dugu Fengwu just stared at Yang Dingtian with her gorgeous eyes. Her expression constantly changed, turning cold for a moment before turning warm, turning resolute before hesitating. Yang Dingtian knew that he was currently pacing around the edge of hell. He hated this feeling, but he had no choice. Finally, Dugu Fengwu took a deep breath and said, I should kill you because you might become the ultimate enemy for my Evil Dao in the future. Yang Dingtian didnt beg for mercy and just stared at Dugu Fengwu with cold eyes. But you cannot die now. Even if I want to kill you, I have to wait until I get my hands on the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer. Dugu Fengwu then said, I will kill you after you hand over the Fire Chilling Pearl. Yang Dingtian knew that Dugu Fengwu wouldnt kill him. Yang Dingtian took a profound look at Dugu Fengwu and spoke in an indifferent voice, Dugu Fengwu, I will remember this moment. Now, start teaching me the second move of the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword. Dugu Fengwu took a profound look at Yang Dingtian as well and replied, I will remember your words too. Immediately after, she took over the sharp sword from Yang Dingtians hand. Now, I will execute the second move of the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword, Soul Departing Mirror. I will use my mystic qi to simulate the effects. Just as she finished talking, Dugu Fengwu instantly vanished from Yang Dingtians eyes. In the blink of the eye, she turned into an afterimage and appeared several meters away. The sword in her hand instantly appeared and vanished, turned into a warping arc of light. The body refracted and the sword light refracted. Bending, warping, shifting, switching. Dugu Fengwus body and her sword would appear and vanish all of a sudden. It was truly as though a Soul Departing Mirror! In an instant, her figure covered across a thousand meters. Her afterimage was left on the lake, in the air, in the bamboo forest, and on the giant boulders by the side. Finally, there was a dazzling light accompanied by a tempting fragrance, as Dugu Fengwu suddenly appeared in front of Yang Dingtian. After sheathing the sword, the second move of the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword, Soul Departing Mirror had been completed. Snap... Suddenly, all the afterimages that Dugu Fengwu left behind had shattered. The lake ruptured, the giant boulder ruptured, the bamboo forest ruptured, the surface of the ground ruptured. In short, everywhere her afterimage was had all ruptured. It was like a beautiful painting that was quickly slashed into pieces. Yang Dingtian felt the stifling sensation again, as he didnt know if it was Dugu Fengwu, who was too powerful or the Hidden Sects sword art, which was too powerful. Next, I will demonstrate it again, but with slow motions and I will not use mystic qi to create the effects. It is simply the Soul Departing Mirrors appearance and form, Dugu Fengwu stated. Immediately after, Dugu Fengwu demonstrated again. After losing away the effects from the mystic qi, the superficial Soul Departing Mirror wasnt as breathtaking anymore. It lacked that extremely impactful visual effect. But, Dugu Fengwus devilish curves and her magnificent figure was much more prominent. After circling over a thousand meters, Dugu Fengwu flew back and sheathed the sword. She asked, Did you see it clearly? Yang Dingtian nodded and said, I have seen it clearly, but this move is much harder compared to River Tears. I will not be able to learn it with just a single try. I didnt ask you to learn it in a single try. Dugu Fengwu said, In fact, you already have enough to intimidate the people at Divine Weapons Manor now, and one more is sufficient. So, for the next three hours, just learn whatever you can. Finishing her statement, Dugu Fengwu mocked coldly and said, A disciple learning the sword from a master. The master is teaching the fake sword art, but the disciple learned the real sword art. I dont think anyone has heard of such a thing for thousands of years. Yang Dingtian laughed speechlessly as well. He then took over the sword from Dugu Fengwu and started to practice the second move of Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword, Soul Departing Mirror. It was indeed very difficult! For the first form, Yang Dingtian did it exactly the same, but there was no reaction from the qi vessel. For the second form, Yang Dingtian did it exactly the same as well, but there was still no reaction from the qi vessel. For the third form, Yang Dingtian was unable to do it as Dugu Fengu did it too fast and had refracted too far away. Yang Dingtian couldnt grasp the trajectory and the route. Sheathing the sword, Yang Dingtian came back and said, Can I trouble you to demonstrate it again. Dugu Fengwu took over the sword and didnt say anything as she immediately demonstrated it again. This time she did it even slower. After demonstrating the entire Soul Departing Mirror again, Dugu Fengwu turned back and handed the artifact sword over to Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian attempted it again. For the first form, he still did the same, but the qi vessel didnt react. For the second form, he still did the same too, but the qi vessel still didnt react. For the previously incompleted third form, he had successfully completed it. For the fourth form, Yang Dingtian mulled over it for a long time and still was able to complete it successfully. When at the fifth form, he declared it a failure and turned back. Before he even had to ask, Dugu Fengwu took the sword and demonstrated again, with an even slower speed. ... After Dugu Fengwu demonstrated it for eleven times, Yang Dingtian finally had a complete grasp of all the forms of the Soul Departing Mirror, but there was still no reaction from the qi vessel. Yang Dingtian practiced it again and again. Five times, ten times, twenty times. Time flowed bit by bit, and in the blink of the eye, more than two hours had passed, and half of the time was gone. There were still eight moves of the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword that he had yet to learn, but Dugu Fengwu didnt hurry him and just stood by the side with an insipid expression. Finally, Yang Dingtian didnt know how many times he had practiced the Soul Departing Mirror, but there was still no reaction from his qi vessel. Yang Dingtian was starting to have doubts if Dugu Fengwu had unwilling to teach him the real Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword; thus, she had intentionally shown the wrong Soul Departing Mirror to him. After practicing a few more times and still getting no reaction from the qi vessel, Yang Dingtians heart was getting even more doubtful as he had this urge to ask Dugu Fengwu. But, just as he was going to question, he suddenly felt a jolt in the depts of his qi vessel and also a reaction in his mystic meridians. Yang Dingtian quickly invested all his spirit and chased after that feeling. It was a mystical feeling, and the jolt in the qi vessel this time was very mild and somewhat like a wink. It was like the tip of the string that was among the chaotic and countless strings. It was like a thought in an illusory dream. He suddenly felt it, but when he wanted to go look for it, it would have vanished entirely. Yang Dingtian held his breath and concentrated all his spirit to search and capture that feeling, that mystic qi jolt. It was undoubtedly the most difficult portion. But once he found it, he would be able to bring it all out quickly. Continuously searching and searching! Suddenly, Yang Dingtian found the origins of that jolt of mystic qi. He had found the source of the mystic qi circulation. Subsequently, he went according to his feelings and rapidly executed the second move of the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword, Soul Departing Mirror. He constantly practiced it. It was fast for a moment and slow for the next. He followed the mystic qi meridian route and forcefully pushed towards the roots of the Soul Departing Mirror, shaving it off bit by bit. He had completely forgotten everything and was fully immersed in the world of the Soul Departing Mirror. As expected, the most challenging part was searching for the source. Once Yang Dingtian found the tip of the string, he was immediately able to pull the entire line out. Swish Swish Swish Swish... In the bamboo forest, on the lake. Yang Dingtians figure was refracting rapidly as he left behind several afterimages. He appeared above the lake, the bamboo forest, beside the giant boulder. His figure was like beads of pearls; his sword was like a needle with string. He rapidly shifted, switched, threading with the needle and linking up all the pearls. In an instant, there was an afterimage picture scroll that was formed in the valley. Pa... Finally, Yang Dingtians figure floating like a reflection and went back to where he originally came from. Snap... All the afterimages suddenly shattered. In an instant, the air was ruptured. The lake had been ruptured and turned into countless water droplets and steam. The bamboos had been severed across the waist. A deep crack had been left on the giant boulder! Yang Dingtian had succeeded again in learning the real Swaying Calamity Crossing Swords second move, Soul Departing Mirror. Even though the power was much weaker than when Dugu Fengwu simulated it with her mystic qi, but his Soul Departing Mirrors effect and image were all the true power. Dugu Fengwu warned herself not to be astonished and shocked. But after seeing this scene, she felt this numbing sensation in her body, and she had this strange affectionate emotion in the depths of her heart. Yang Dingtian walked over to Dugu Fengwu and handed the sword over to her while saying, Now, it is time to learn the third move. What is there to learn? Dugu Fengwu stated, More than six hours have already passed. Your second move took up more than three hours. Did it take that long? Yang Dingtian let out a surprised voice and lifted his head to see the sky. It truly had been so long. When he started learning the Soul Departing Mirror, it was still before noon, but the sun was now tilting towards the west. But when he was immersed in the world of the Soul Departing Mirror, he truly had no sense of time at all. You do not have the learn the rest of the Swaying Calamity Crossing Swords move. Dugu Fengwu explained, The first two moves are more than enough for you to impersonate the Hidden Sects disciples at the headquarters of the Heaven Dao Union. We are running out of time and must hurry to the Divine Weapons Manor to obtain the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer by deceiving them. Finishing her statement, Dugu Fengwu immediately walked out of the valley and towards the Divine Weapons Manor, while Yang Dingtian followed behind closely. After hesitating for a moment, Yang Dingtian said, There is something that I better tell you. Speak, Dugu Fengwu responded. When I had failed countless times during the practice of the Soul Departing Mirror, he had suspected if you had intentionally taught me the wrong Soul Departing Mirror. But it was proven that you didnt do it, and I had judged a good person with my vile character. Yang Dingtian said, Even though I didnt question you, but I still think that I owe you an apology. Dugu Fengwu remained speechless, and it was rare that she didnt speak with sarcasm as she simply showed an emotionless expression. When Yang Dingtian, who was following behind Dugu Fengwu, had seen her strange reaction, he couldnt help but ask, You didnt actually teach me the wrong Soul Departing Mirror, right? Are you unwilling for me the learn the real sword art from Hidden Sect? Dugu Fengwu suddenly paused and turned her beautiful face to reply to Yang Dingtian, You guessed it right. I did teach you the wrong move. So you are actually a vile character judging another vile character. Yang Dingtian was instantly astonished and speechless. Dugu Fengwu said, But I didnt expect it at all. I had obviously messed up the Soul Departing Mirrors move before teaching it to you. Not only did you not go into a berserk state, you even managed to correct the flaws slowly and finally learned the Soul Departing Mirror. Do you know that I was slowly tempted to go and behead you earlier? Yang Dingtian was astonished and speechless again. He wondered, should he be amazed at the shamelessness of Dugu Fengwu, or amazed at how incredible this sword art was, or was he supposed to be amazed at how amazing he was. After finding the drop of connection in the mystic qi route of the Soul Departing Mirror and immediately searching for the source. Finally, correcting the Soul Departing Mirror, and taking complete grasp of it. S?a??h th? Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Stop thinking about it. You just have to remember. The smarter and more incredible you are, the faster you die, Dugu Fengwu spoke coldly and turned walked towards the Divine Weapons Manor. Immediately after, Dugu Fengwu put on a red mantle and a veil because they were about to encounter other people soon. Third Lady Gongsun was a superstar in this world and once anyone saw her, it would definitely cause a commotion. ... Divine Weapons Manor! On the peak of the Mt. Black Edge, it looked as though the peak was directly cut off, which created a flat land to build the manor. The entire manor covered around two hectares of land, and among the influential factions of the world, the Divine Weapons Manor was considered small. After all, they were specialized in forging weapons and didnt require any military force to maintain their own status. But despite the case, the Divine Weapons Manor was overseen by a Master class expert. The gates of the manor had two giant iron swords, which were a few hundred feet tall. The tip of the sword was pointed towards the sky, and it looked extremely imperious. When at the entrance of the manor, there were already plenty of people queuing up. Every day, there would be plenty of people coming to pay their respects to the Divine Weapons Manor, and most of them were asking for a favor, which proved how popular and influential the Divine Weapons Manor was. The appearance of Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwu quickly attracted plenty of eyes. It was mainly because Yang Dingtian was impersonating this nameless yet incredibly cool and handsome man. Dugu Fengwu might be covered in a veil and mantle, but her wonderful curvy figure still emitted this aura that was unconcealable. Dugu Fengwu didnt join the queue and walked straight up to the entrance. The people in the queue instantly revealed dissatisfied expression, as they thought no matter how wonderful her figure was or how tempting her aura was, she still shouldnt just cut the queue. Dugu Fengwu immediately took off her veil and spoke slowly, Seven Refined Lanes Third Lady Gongsun is here to pay her respects! In an instant, the entire place was in silence. Afterward, all eyes were gathered on Dugu Fengwus face as their face instantly burst with zealotry! When the disciples at the gates of the Divine Weapons Manor saw Dugu Fengwus remarkable stunning face, they immediately lost their spirits and all the ability to react. Seven Refined Lanes Third Lady Gongsun is here to pay her respects. Dugu Fengwu spoke again, this time with a hoarse voice that had a natural attraction. Oh... The disciple of the Divine Weapons Manor quickly regained his senses. He quickly nodded and wanted to say something, but due to his anxiety, he stuttered and couldnt say anything. His neck and face were flushed red as he quickly turned and ran into the manor to report. Lady Gongsun, Lady Gongsun... In an instant, over a hundred individuals were completely shocked and had forgotten that they were in a queue. They crowded around and greeted Dugu Fengwu with passion as they desperately tried to get near, yet didnt dare to cross into the one-meter radius from Dugu Fengwu. It was truly unexpected for Dugu Fengwus alter ego, Third Lady Gongsun, to receive such passionate pursuit from men. Soon enough, everyone noticed that Dugu Fengwu had another man beside her, and it was a very handsome looking man. Lady Gongsun, who is that man beside you? Is he your partner? Finally, someone couldnt help but ask with a voice filled with jealousy. Thats right, he might look dashing and someone incredible, but no one was worthy of Third Lady Gongsun. In the hearts of these fans, no man in the world was worthy enough for Third Lady Gongsun. A friend, an old friend that I didnt get to meet for a long time, Dugu Fengwu replied with a smile. In an instant, all the men felt extremely blessed as they looked towards Yang Dingtian with much more amiable eyes. At this moment, the manor echoed with a forceful voice. Lady Gongsun is here to visit, and I have been disrespectful by not welcoming you sooner. My apologies. The owner of Divine Weapons Manor, Qiu Wanjie, led over a dozen men and walked out in a hurry. As he was still several meters away from Dugu Fengwu, he bowed with respect. As he was speaking, the owner of Divine Weapons Manor eyes shot at Yang Dingtian with lightning speed. Third Lady Gongsuns charm was renowned in the world but had always avoided immorality and never allowed other men to approach her. Who exactly was this man to be able to get so near to Lady Gongsun? Chapter 157: Hidden Sect’s Successor! Shuddering, Shivering! Chapter 157: Hidden Sects Successor! Shuddering, Shivering!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales During normal days, even if the Clan Head from the Nine Clans were here, Owner Qiu wouldnt be as respectful, because even those Clan Heads were all here to seek a favor from the Divine Weapons Manor. But it was completely different towards Third Lady Gongsun. The Seven Refined Lane was a faction of females, and all the influential forces in the world would somewhat give in to them. Furthermore, Qiu Wanjie was also a man, and he too yearned for the renowned Third Lady Gongsun, even though he was already around 50 years of age. I have visited without careful consideration, Im too rude, Dugu Fengwu bowed lightly. Her curvy and charming figure bent over as she spoke, Has Owner Qiu been well? Her devilish figure simply made a gentle bow, but her captivating and alluring curves instantly caused all the mens eyes to become degenerated. Even Qiu Wanjie, who was an established lord, couldnt help but had his eyes shaken as he was mesmerized for a moment. Dont be so polite. Qiu Wanjie spoke in a candid tone, Gongsun Daji is a guest that I will never be able to invite on normal occasions. Your presence today has brought light to my humble manor. Immediately after, Qiu Wanjie walked over the people that were in the queue and bowed. I have an esteemed guest today, so the Divine Weapons Manor will be closed for today. Everyone, please come back tomorrow. Close the gates, Qiu Wanjie gave the order as two disciples came forward to close the thick metal gates. Most of the people had this instant expression of regret, but none of them were frustrated, as though this was something that ought to happen. Lady Gongsun, might I know who this noble guest is? Qiu Wanjie looked at Yang Dingtian and asked. Nameless gives his greetings to Owner Qiu, Yang Dingtian bowed indifferently. He wasnt arrogant, nor was he humble, but he had this indifference, which naturally pushed people far away. Qiu Wanjies eyelid jolted, and even if he didnt feel comfortable in his heart, he didnt put his feelings on display. But the handsome youth behind him couldnt accept such behavior as he was already discontented with Yang Dingtian. All because Yang Dingtian had been standing beside his goddess, Third Lady Gongsun and Yang Dingtian was acting as though he was an extremely cool individual. Hmph... That handsome youth snorted and said, Even the Young Lords from the Nine Clans wouldnt dare to act so disrespectfully in front of my father. I would like to know who this individual is to act so high and mighty. Qiu Yiming, stop your nonsense, Qiu Wanjie commented, but his heart truly felt that Yang Dingtian was ignorant. The name Nameless that was given by Yang Dingtian was obviously fake, and if Yang Dingtian were using a fake name in the face of Qiu Wanjie, wasnt he looking down on the Divine Weapons Manor? Not even the young lords of the Nine Clans would dare to do so. Gongsun Daji, please! Immediately after, Qiu Wanjie still passionately treated Dugu Fengwu, but he totally ignored Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian didnt mind it. He continued walking behind Dugu Fengwu and towards the interior of the manor. *** The Divine Weapons Manors building was constructed like the rest of the places, which didnt have any elaborate and expensive presence. It was basically made of thick trunks and black dressed stones; every corner looked open and bold. The style was like a giant sword without an edge, tough yet simple. Within the main hall of the manor, Qiu Wanjie was treating Dugu Fengwu with magnificent hospitality. Especially Qiu Yiming, who would stare at Dugu Fengwus face with burning eyes and utmost infatuation. After exchanging the conventional greetings, Qiu Wanjie asked, Since Lady Gongsun has paid a visit to my humble manor, please tell me what do I need to do to help you. As long as my Divine Weapons Manor can do it, I will not put it off. Qiu Wanjie was a master craftsman; hence he had an open-minded and straightforward bearing, which wasnt like an improper lord. Dugu Fengwu spoke, I am here to borrow an item from Owner Qiu. Oh? What kind of item? Lady Gongsun, please ask away, Qiu Wanjie asked. Mystic Fire Devil hammer, Dugu Fengwu replied. Once she finished her words, Qiu Wanjies cheeks twitched a little, and he was at a loss for words. Is Gongsuns request too rude? Dugu Fengwu spoke in a gentle voice, Would it inconvenience Owner Qiu? Qiu Wanjie replied, Lady Gongsun, pardon me for asking this. From what I know, you do not have the intention to cultivate the sword soul. Neither do any of the Ladies from the Seven Refined Lane. What use do you have to borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer? I am borrowing it for a friend, Dugu Fengwu explained. Oh? Which friend is it? Qiu Wanjie asked in a tone as though he was asking why didnt that person come personally and was actually so arrogant even when they wanted to borrow something. It is this Nameless, Dugu Fengwu pointed at Yang Dingtian. In an instant, everyone present got a surprise, and Qiu Yiming nearly jumped out from his seat. What are you? Our Divine Weapons Manor allowed you to enter all because of Lady Gongsun. If not, you wouldnt even be qualified to enter the manor. Now, you actually dare to get Lady Gongsun to borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer on your behalf? In your dreams! Qiu Yiming thought in his heart as he really wanted to just throw Yang Dingtian out of the manor. When Qiu Wanjie heard that it was Yang Dingtian who wanted to borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer, he had this unconcealable awful expression while he was cursing in his mind, Kid, you are truly ignorant, uh? Is the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer something you can borrow? It is something only the Patriarchs and the Clan Heads of the Three Sects and Nine Clans can borrow. Not even the Leaders of the Twenty Seven Branches have that qualification. You are just an unknown kid who used your pretty-boy looks to attract Third Lady Gongsun, and you actually dare to act all high and mighty to borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer? You who dont even wish to reveal your real name? In an instant, Qiu Wanjie didnt bother about respecting Third Lady Gongsun and withdrew his smile. If it were Lady Gongsun coming to borrow it, my Divine Weapons Manor would certainly do it for you. But Lady Gongsun must be unaware that this Mystic Fire Devil Hammer can only be lent out to the comrades from the Heaven Dao Union and not to outsiders. Immediately after, he picked up his teacup, indicating for the servants to see the guests out. Oh, my friend here just so happens to be a member of the Heaven Dao Union, Dugu Fengwu responded. Qiu Wanjie spoke indifferently, Then I wonder which clan or branch does this Nameless friend come from? Yang Dingtian got up and replied, My apologies. My master informed me not to use our affiliations name to trouble the various seniors in the Heaven Dao Union. Thus, I am unable to reveal my affiliation for now. Haha... Qiu Yiming couldnt hold back and laughed loudly. Putting on a pretense? Who do you think you are? Are you afraid your tongue might be sprained after all the boasting? Do you think you are the Yin Yang Sects Dongfang Bingling or the Mystic Heaven Sects Zhu Hongxue? To tell you the truth, if it werent because of Lady Gongsun, you wouldnt even be able to take a step into our Divine Weapons Manor, let alone drink some tea here. Do you want to borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer? In your dreams! Yang Dingtian had a startled expression and simply nodded. Oh, I understand then. Subsequently, he walked in front of Qiu Wanjie and bowed. Owner Qiu, thank you for your hospitality. I shall take my leave. Just as he was bowing, his neck flashed with a green light, as the leaf ornament revealed itself to Qiu Wanjie for a split moment. Afterward, Yang Dingtian immediately turned and left. Take care. We will not send you out! Qiu Yiming spoke coldly. Qiu Wanjies expression immediately changed as he shouted at Yang Dingtian, Hold on, wait for a moment. Yang Dingtian didnt turn around. He simply stood there and asked, Owner Qiu, is there anything you need to ask? Qiu Wanjie was at a loss for a moment. He naturally knew what that leaf ornament meant. It represented the identity of a Hidden Sects disciple. If this Nameless were a disciple from the Hidden Sect, then he truly would have a supreme and extraordinary status. If Qiu Wanjie were to offend him, then he would be drowned by the spits of all the prestigious forces and the Divine Weapons Manor might not even have a place of standings in the Heaven Dao Union. But the disciples of the Hidden Sect had not revealed themselves in the world for more than two centuries. If this kid werent a Hidden Sects disciple and was just coincidentally wearing a leaf ornament, but yet was treated like an ancestor by Qiu Wanjie, this would truly be a great joke for the world. But, Qiu Wanjie couldnt simply ask Yang Dingtian to take off the leaf ornament for him to identify, right? He couldnt directly ask if Yang Dingtian were a Hidden Sects disciple as well since Yang Dingtian declared that he didnt wish to reveal his affiliations identity. Looking at the sword in Yang Dingtians hand, Qiu Wanjie suddenly had an idea as he asked, I have an affection for swords, and I see that young friend has an extraordinary sword. I thought if I can take a look at it. Would it be convenient? Qiu Yiming was astonished as he said, Father, what kind of artifact sword has our Divine Weapons Manor not seen before? What is so special about his lousy sword? Shut your mouth, Qiu Wanjie scolded coldly, which instantly shocked Qiu Yiming. Convenient. Of course, it is convenient, Yang Dingtian replied and handed the sword over to Qiu Wanjie. After receiving the artifact sword, Qiu Wanjies expression instantly changed. He was a swordmaster smith, and as soon as this sword entered his hand, he immediately felt how extraordinary it was. Not only extraordinary, but it was also simply a divine artifact weapon! Qiu Wanjie quickly determined that this sword was forged by mixing the blood black gold and the black ice metal jade. This artifact sword was obviously filled with boundless energy, but it was extremely reserved and didnt leak out any of the power. Furthermore, this artifact sword felt ancient as though it had been forged countless years ago. Who would be fit to wield such a divine weapon? Which affiliation could have such an artifact sword? Coupling with the fact that Nameless had a leaf ornament on his neck, his identity was immediately disclosed. When he thought of the answer, Qiu Wanjies body shuddered as cold sweat burst out from his forehead, and his limbs instantly felt icy cold. A member of the Hidden Sect! The true rulers of the Primal Chaos World, the supreme leader of the Heaven Dao Union. And yet he actually mocked at this individual!? At this moment, Qiu Wanjie could only feel his body shivering. S?a??h the ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. He never would have expected for the disciples of the Hidden Sect to reveal themselves after close to two centuries of seclusion. Could... something major was going to happen in the world? Are you done looking, Owner Qiu? Yang Dingtian spoke indifferently. It was this attitude, exactly this attitude, this was the Hidden Sects attitude. Not arrogant, but indifferent and unapproachable. Not rude, but yet pushing others far away. I am done. This is indeed an exceptional divine weapon, Qiu Wanjie took in a deep breath and unconsciously bowed as he returned the sword to Yang Dingtian respectfully with both hands. Qiu Yiming could also feel his fathers abnormally behavior as he instantly exclaimed, Father, why are you treating him with such an attitude? Get lost...! Qiu Wanjie let out a severe yell as he abruptly flung his sleeve and sent Qiu Yiming flying out of the door. Dugu Fengwu stood up emotionlessly and said, Owner Qiu, we shall take our leave then. Immediately after, she was about to turn and leave as well. Wait, wait, wait... Qiu Wanjie spoke with a trembling voice, Noble guests, please take a seat. Please take a seat! Chapter 158: First Encounter with Qin Huaiyu! A King Meeting a King! Chapter 158: First Encounter with Qin Huaiyu! A King Meeting a King!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian nodded and sat back down. Qiu Wanjie instantly let out a breath of relief and said, If you were here earlier, let alone with your supreme status, even if Lady Gongsun wanted to borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer. I, Qiu Wanjie, wouldnt reject you. But it is of such coincidence that I have already lent out the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer. Owner Qiu, it is fine if you are unwilling to lend it to us. Why would you make up such a lie to cheat us? Dugu Fengwu spoke indifferently as she was getting ready to stand up and leave. It is absolutely true. If I, Qiu Wanjie, said a single word of a lie, my Divine Weapons Manor will thoroughly decline and never be able to recover, Qiu Wanjie immediately swore. He then spoke with a bitter smile, Furthermore, how will I dare to cheat the esteemed Nameless? Then who was the one who borrowed the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer? Dugu Fengwu asked. Northwest Qin Clans Young Lord, Qin Huaiyu, Qiu Wanjie answered. Once the answer was out, Yang Dingtians heart immediately thrashed a little, while Dugu Fengwus expression couldnt help but change. Qin Huaiyu! Yang Dingtian had engraved this name into his bones. Even though Yang Dingtian had never seen this individual before, he had already treated him as his nemesis, as well as the most lethal and dangerous enemy. It was this person who had been scheming against Cloud Heaven City. All of the calamities that happened to Cloud Heaven City and all of the bitter experiences that Yang Dingtian encountered, all had the shadows of this person behind the scenes. Furthermore, this person had rapacious designs towards Yanyan and had constantly wanted to take Yanyan from Cloud Heaven City to have a political marriage with him. This Qin Clans Young Lord was the number-one youth expert in the entire Northwest Continent and the future number-one expert of the Northwest Continent. Yang Dingtian didnt expect that he was also here to borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer. Was he going to cultivate the sword soul as well? But Qin Huaiyu personally came to borrow it, Qiu Wanjie truly couldnt refuse. Dugu Fengwu instantly frowned and said, Is the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer already in his hands? No, not yet, Qiu Wanjie replied, But I had just personally promised Young Lord Qin Huaiyu two hours ago. Dugu Fengwus expression immediately turned indifferent as she stated, Then you shall decide what you want to do. If you decide to lend the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer to Qin Huaiyu, we will take our leave. Qiu Wanjie immediately had this complicated expression. To be honest, it was an extremely rare occasion to have an opportunity to curry favor with the Hidden Sect. After all, it had been almost two centuries since the last time that disciples from the Hidden Sect had appeared in this world. Hence, Qiu Wanjie was definitely willing to lend this Mystic Fire Devil Hammer to this Nameless. But, he had already promised to Qin Huaiyu earlier. The Hidden Sect mustnt be offended, so were the members of the Northwest Qin Clan. Moreover, this individual was the young lord of the Northwest Qin Clan and the future dictator for the entire northwest. The Divine Weapons Manor might have an extraordinary status and was a faction that none of the prestigious factions could afford to offend. But in fact, they were in the Northwest Continent, how could they not comply to the Northwest Qin Clan? Right now, he couldnt afford to offend either side. In an instant, Qiu Wanjie had an awful expression. Owner Qiu doesnt have to be in a dilemma. We will take our leave. Yang Dingtian stood up and looked at Dugu Fengwu and said, Lady Gongsun, lets take our leave. Seeing that the two of them were truly going to leave, Qiu Wanjie said, Please hold on, my two guests. I have a suggestion, but I wonder if I can say it. You are the owner here, why cant you say it? Dugu Fengwu replied. Since Young Lord Qin and Young Lord Nameless are the future leaders of the Heaven Dao Union and you both have come to borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer... Then, I shall leave the two of you to decide who gets to borrow the hammer. How about it? Qiu Wanjie said, The two Young Lords are carrying out righteous tasks for the Heaven Dao Union, so I shall treat it as lending the hammer to the Heaven Dao Union. But exactly to who shall be left for the two Young Lords to decide. Is that fine? After hearing Qiu Wanjies suggestion, Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwu were instantly silenced. If the two of you dont have any objection, I will go discuss with Young Lord Qin. He is currently touring our Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion, Qiu Wanjie explained. Yang Dingtian didnt say anything. Dugu Fengwu hesitated before saying, Then you can do as you see fit. Then, may the two guests wait for a moment. I will be back shortly, Qiu Wanjie said. Afterward, Qiu Wanjie left and went to discuss with Qin Huaiyu. Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwu exchanged looks and could mutually see concern and danger in each others eyes. Qin Shaobai was a vicious snake, but compared to Qin Huaiyu, Qin Shaobai was nothing. It was clear how dangerous Qin Huaiyu was. Qiu Wanjie was a crude, straightforward, and open-minded individual. Yang Dingtian was able to dupe him by revealing the leaf ornament and his sword. But it wouldnt be so easy to trick Qin Huaiyu. The Northwest Qin Clan were the true upper echelons of the Heaven Dao Union, and they werent as ignorant towards the Hidden Sect like the others. To tell the truth, if they knew they were going to encounter Qin Huaiyu, Yang Dingtian wouldnt have impersonated a Hidden Sects disciple, even Dugu Fengwu wouldnt want to come. They were about to meet Qin Huaiyu, but Yang Dingtian wasnt mentally prepared at all. He was about to see his nemesis and couldnt help but feel difficulty in breathing due to the anxiety. ******************* After waiting for slightly over ten minutes, there were hurried footsteps that could be heard from the outside. It was apparent that the person arriving was very emotional. Where is Senior Nameless? Before even seeing Qin Huaiyu, Yang Dingtian first heard his voice. It was an extremely gentle and pleasant voice, which caused people to develop a trustworthy feeling involuntarily. Immediately after, a slender figure walked in quickly and stopped two meters in front of Yang Dingtian. He then bowed deeply. Northwest Qin Huaiyu gives his greetings to Senior Nameless. Even though this name was undoubtedly fake, but when spoken by Qin Huaiyu, it had a heartfelt feeling, as though Yang Dingtians real name was called truly Nameless. Brother Qin, its nice to meet you too. Despite being very nervous, Yang Dingtians expression didnt have any change. He took a glance at Qin Huaiyu and greeted indifferently in a similar manner to Qiu Wanjie. If Yang Dingtian were in the shoes of a Hidden Sects disciple, Qiu Wanjie and Qin Huaiyu were just trash to him; thus, there must not be any change in attitude. But Qin Huaiyus looks had indeed surprised him as it was totally outside of his expectation. From what Yang Dingtian thought, Qin Huaiyu was definitely much more handsome and much more wicked-looking than Qin Shaobai. But the truth wasnt the case. Qin Huaiyu wasnt considered handsome, and he was even less good-looking than Yang Dingtian himself. But his ordinary face was like a pleasant jade sculpture, which was refined and gentle. His eyes were limpid, and he always had this sincere bearing, be it his speech or action. He gave off a captivating presence. Greetings to you, Lady Gongsun. When facing Dugu Fengwus Third Lady Gongsuns stunning appearance, Qin Huaiyu appeared to be very cultured and polite. He wasnt overly passionate, and his eyes merely had faint admiration, without a hint of burning passion, unlike how excited he was towards Nameless. Senior Nameless, this is my younger sister, Qin Jiaojiao, Qin Huaiyu pointed at a young lady behind him. Qin Jiaojiao was a beauty who was just inferior to Ximen Yanyan. In terms of status, she was probably nobler than Ximen Yanyan. But in terms of looks and mystic meridians, Qin Jiaojiao was inferior to Yanyan. Of course, she was just slightly inferior to Yanyan, as she was the most beautiful woman in this world. Compared to most of the other women, Qin Jiaojiao was already considered very beautiful. After putting on makeup and a nice dress, Qin Jiaojiao was actually comparable to Third Lady Gongsun. Her skin-tight red dress had presented her figure to the greatest extent. But, just her figure alone was still slightly inferior to Third Lady Gongsun and Ximen Yanyan. In terms of looks and figure, Qin Jiaojiao was still not up to match with Yanyan. But this Qin Jiaojiaos reputation was far inferior to Yanyan. Yanyan might be unruly, but she was kind-hearted and was adorable. Most importantly, Yanyan had pure self-respect. Unlike Qin Jiaojiao, whose reputation was widely spread, and there were plenty of men who had a scandal with her. This young lady liked to put herself in public, and her general attire, behavior, and manner of speech were all the more unrestrained. So, in short, Qin Jiaojiaos reputation in the entire northwest was rather notorious. She was already 23 years old now but had yet to find a marriage partner. Qin Jiaojiao first glanced at Dugu Fengwu with a haughty expression that had hostility because this Third Lady Gongsun was too beautiful, too magnificent, and flawless, which overshadowed her limelight. But soon enough, her hostility was replaced by arrogance. Third Lady Gongsun had a great reputation, but Qin Jiaojiao looked down on her. She was the Second Young Lady of the Qin Clan, and apart from Dongfang Bingling and a few others, she felt that she was qualified to despise all other women. You are that pretentious Nameless? Qin Jiaojiao spoke coldly, You dare to impersonate a Hidden Sects disciple? You even asked us to give up the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer? In your dreams! Once she spoke, everyones expression changed, especially Qiu Wanjie. This domineering woman truly had big breasts and no brains, actually using such malicious language towards a Hidden Sects disciple. Jiaojiao, how dare you. Quickly apologize to Senior Nameless, Qin Huaiyu spoke in a stern tone. Who doesnt know that the Hidden Sects disciples didnt appear in the world for a few centuries. A random swindler comes around wielding a sword and wearing a leaf, saying that he is a Hidden Sects disciple? Only a foolish woman would believe it and get duped, Qin Jiaojiao spoke coldly and glared at Dugu Fengwu with her beautiful eyes. Dugu Fengwus face instantly changed as she spoke coldly, Owner Qiu, Young Lord Qin, is this your attitude? We understand. We shall take our leave! Qiu Wanjie wished that he could slap Qin Jiaojiao. He quickly spoke, Calm down, calm down. Will the two guests please calm down. Subsequently, Qiu Wanjie looked at Qin Huaiyu and said, Young Lord Qin, you better look over your sister. Jiaojiao... Qin Huaiyus expression turned cold as he said, Get out right now. Go back to Qin City and immediately imprison yourself for half a year. Immediately after, he looked at Yang Dingtian and spoke with guilt, Senior Nameless, the Qin Clan is incompetent in disciplining our people. We have embarrassed ourselves. Afterward, Qin Huaiyu said to Qiu Wanjie, Owner Qiu, I am willing to give up the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer to Senior Nameless. Qiu Wanjies had a relieved expression as he praised, Young Lord Qin truly has unquestionable integrity and noble character. Qin Huaiyu waved his hand and said, I am ashamed. It is Nobody Qins honor to make friends with an elegant individual like Senior Nameless. A sword can be forged at any time, but an encounter with Senior Nameless is once in a century. Yang Dingtian didnt reserve himself and spoke indifferently, Then I shall accept your favor and give you my thanks. Qiu Wanjie had a pleasant expression as he spoke, Then I will go take the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer. Will the two Young Lords please wait here. Senior Nameless, please take a seat, Qin Huaiyu proposed. Afterward, the four of them took a seat while the servant girls served the Xiangming Tea again. Qin Huaiyu discreetly looked at Yang Dingtian, while Qin Jiaojiao stared without any intention to conceal herself. Both of them observed how Yang Dingtian was going to taste his tea. Those born in prestigious families had a different understanding of the various Xiangming Tea. For some tea leaves, a normal person might think it was like a sweet-tasting fragrant tea, but to the prestigious people, it was just like rubbish. While for other tea leaves, a normal person might think that it tasted bland and unordinary, but to the prestigious people, it would be precious and splendid. The Hidden Sect was undoubtedly the most elite among the prestigious factions. They were the true ruler of the world and the leader of the Heaven Dao Union. The Divine Weapons Manors tea was very fragrant and very expensive! But they werent favored by the Qin Clan. In the eyes of the Qin Clan, the Divine Weapons Manor might be rather influential, but they were still weaponsmiths and were naturally boorish people. Hence, when the Divine Weapons Manor had tea, they would get the most fragrant and the most expensive ones. Hence, the Qin siblings were observing how Yang Dingtian was drinking his tea and would be able to judge his identity. Dugu Fengwu was feeling nervous. This Qin Huaiyu was like a fox-like individual, and there were many schemes he had up his sleeve, which would easily lure someone into his pace. Thus, Dugu Fengwu lifted the teacup of Xiangming Tea and took a sip before frowning and putting the tea down. She was actually hinting at Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian lifted the cup of tea and took a sip, which was indeed very fragrant. His eyes opened a little, as though he was surprised and took another sip. s?a??h th? ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Fool. You exposed yourself, Dugu Fengwus heart had a chill. Qin Jiaojiao revealed a sneer on her face. Senior Nameless, how do you find the tea? Qin Huaiyu asked while smiling. Not bad at all. I have never drunk such a nice tea. Most of the time, I will only drink plain water, Yang Dingtian replied indifferently. When replying, he had an honest expression as though he had never tasted such an expensive and great tasting tea. But, his performance was undoubtedly much better than Dugu Fengwu had expected. Such an unsophisticated character was much more suited for the disciples of the Hidden Sect. It was much more natural and brilliant than those pretentious noble descendants. In an instant, Qin Huaiyu was confused again. Qiu Wanjie quickly came back and carried a hammer along with him. This was the legendary Mystic Fire Devil Hammer. The only hammer that could forge a soul sword and was entirely made from blood black gold. It looked very ordinary, and if it was placed in a pile of hammers, it would be hard to spot. But after taking a closer look, one would notice that the black hammer was permeated with a little red, as though blood had seeped into the hammer. Thats right; this was the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer. Without it, Yang Dingtian would never be able to forge a soul sword. Young Lord Qin, are you sure you want to give up the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer to Young Lord Nameless? Qiu Wanjie asked. Of course, please! Qin Huaiyu said. Qiu Wanjie instantly handed the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer to Yang Dingtian and said, I wish Young Lord Nameless successful in forging the soul sword. Thank you! Yang Dingtian didnt try to be contentious and extended his hands to receive the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer. Hold on... Qin Jiaojiao spoke coldly, I have yet to agree. Subsequently, Qin Jiaojiao walked in front of Yang Dingtian and said, It has been centuries since the disciple of the Hidden Sect had appeared. I dont believe that one would appear today. You are all just being intimidated. I wont be. In an instant, Qiu Wanjie couldnt hold it anymore as he spoke in a harsh tone, Young Lady Qin, please mind yourself. Qin Jiaojiao, back down. Dont force me to make a move, Qin Huaiyu spoke sternly. No, I will not give up this Mystic Fire Devil Hammer. Qin Jiaojiao spoke coldly, Even the disciple of the Hidden Sect must be treated with a first-come, first-served basis, right? We were here first, and Owner Qiu had already agreed to it. Now that a so-called disciple of the Hidden Sect arrived, you, Qiu Wanjie, immediately regretted. You just want to bootlick the best, uh? You dont dare to offend the Hidden Sect, but you dare to offend our Northwest Qin Clan. Chapter 159: Battle with Qin Huaiyu (Part 1) Chapter 159: Battle with Qin Huaiyu (Part 1)Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Qiu Wanjies expression turned cold as he asked, Young Lady Qin, what exactly do you want? Simple. We will have a martial contest. The winner will borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer, Qin Jiaojiao spoke indifferently. Back down. Qin Huaiyu spoke in an apathetic tone, Qin Jiaojiao, this is the last time I am saying this. Qin Jiaojiao suddenly rushed over and snatched the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer from Qiu Wanjie. I have never given up anything that I wanted since I was young. Let alone to an impersonator of the Hidden Sect. Even if the real Young Lord of the Hidden Sect were here, I still wouldnt give it up. Qin Huaiyu, if you want me to give it up, you better kill me first. Immediately after, Qin Jiaojiao lifted the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer and looked at Qin Huaiyu with a shrewdish expression. Just as Qin Huaiyu was coming over to snatch the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer, Qin Jiaojiao shouted loudly, Qin Huaiyu, if you come over and take the hammer, I will use it to smash my head and die in front of you. Qin Huaiyu was at wits end now and was shaking with anger. Brother Qin, is this your attitude? Dugu Fengwu looked at the siblings acting a show and instantly questioned. My little sister has been rude. I am embarrassed, Qin Huaiyu spoke indifferently. Right now, his expression might still be smiling, but his eyes didnt look as warm anymore. It was needless to say that he definitely wouldnt believe that Yang Dingtian was a disciple from the Hidden Sect. The Hidden Sect had secluded themselves for centuries, and if they were to appear in the world, they wouldnt do it in this manner. Asking a woman from the Seven Refined Lane to lead them to borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer from the Divine Weapons Manor? Looking at how prideful the Hidden Sect was, would they even come and borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer? As for the leaf ornament and that ancient artifact sword, which was claimed as the real deal by Qiu Wanjie. What about it? There must be some leaf ornament and artifact swords from the Hidden Sect that were lost during the great battle between the good and evil, two centuries ago. Hence, from the start, Qin Huaiyu felt that this Nameless was a fake. Furthermore, he must obtain the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer and certainly didnt want to give it up. But, he was worried that this person might be a real disciple from the Hidden Sect, and if he treated this Nameless with disrespect, it might bring trouble for the Northwest Qin Clan. Thus, he simply acted neutrally and performed a show with his sister. Of course, Qin Jiaojiao wasnt acting at all. When Qiu Wanjie went to look for Qin Huaiyu to discuss, the siblings didnt have any time to discuss this at all. But Qin Huaiyu had a complete grasp on how Qin Jiaojiao was going to react. He simply had to guide her a little, and Qin Jiaojiao would be going along with his plan. ... Now that his intention was clear, Qin Huaiyu wasnt willing to give up the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer as well. The two sides had decided to determine this matter with a martial contest. Dugu Fengwu couldnt help but immediately look at Yang Dingtian. She didnt reveal any expression, but Yang Dingtian could feel her concern. She had originally asked Yang Dingtian to learn the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword to deceive the people and only to use it for intimidation during the crucial moment. But, she didnt expect the opposing party to propose a contest immediately. This was troublesome! It didnt matter what kind of martial contest it would be, the result wouldnt be good. Yang Dingtian fighting against Qin Huaiyu? Putting aside the fact that Yang Dingtian was going to lose for certain, it would definitely expose Yang Dingtians identity. Seeing how crafty Qin Huaiyu was, he definitely had a complete understanding of Yang Dingtian. Then, should she let Yang Dingtian go against Qin Huaiyu? Yang Dingtian was just a 5-star Mystic Martial Warrior, while Qin Huaiyu was at least a high classed Great Mystic Martial Warrior. There wasnt even a need to battle. But if Dugu Fengwu had to fight against Qin Huaiyu, she would easily expose her Evil Daos identity. If that happened, they were going to be pursued by thousands of people, and the Seven Refined Lane would be implicated. But right now, they couldnt just withdraw without a fight, as that would make it even more suspicious. Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwu were forced to the edge of the cliff. Right now, even the straightforward Qiu Wanjie could see Qin Huaiyus intention and looked at Yang Dingtian with eyes of suspicion. Thats right, Qiu Wanjie was also suspicious of Yang Dingtians identity. Why would the disciple from the Hidden Sect suddenly appear in the world and come borrowing something from his Divine Weapons Manor? This wasnt something that fit the style of the Hidden Sect. A contest would be good... Qiu Wanjie laughed loudly and said, Lets go to the martial contest stage. The Mystic Fire Devil Hammer will be the prize, and the winner will be able to borrow it. Subsequently, Qiu Wanjie went to make arrangements in the martial contest stage. Many of the members of the Divine Weapons Manor also rushed towards the contest stage. Qiu Wanjie was coordinating with Qin Huaiyu as they wanted to force out Yang Dingtians true identity. Right now, Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwu had no way out and had to agree to the martial contest. S?a?ch* Th? N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. If Dugu Fengwu and Yang Dingtian refused, they would immediately follow up with their response. Impersonating the disciples of the Hidden Sect was an extremely grave sin and would mean to become the public enemy of the Heaven Dao Union and the world. It was truly a sin that would result in death without any burial grounds. Senior Nameless, please! Qin Huaiyu said with a gentle smile that was still on his face. But in Yang Dingtians eyes, hidden behind this smiling face was a heart that was like a vicious snake. Please! Yang Dingtian spoke indifferently and walked towards the contest stage. **** When walking towards the martial contest stage, Yang Dingtian glared at Dugu Fengwu when no one was noticing. This was entirely this demon womans idea, and there was no way to withdraw now. If Yang Dingtian was exposed as a fake, he would definitely be turned into mince, Dugu Fengwu wouldnt be able to escape the same fate either, and would be judged as an accomplice. But knowing how incredible this demon woman was, Yang Dingtian wonderer if she would be able to kill her way out of the Divine Weapons Manor. But it should be impossible, as there were two experts in front of them, Qin Huaiyu and Qiu Wanjie, not forgetting that the Divine Weapons Manor had a Master class expert, who was Qiu Wanjies father, Qiu Qianqiu. He was currently over ninety years of age and had been secluding in the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion for a few years now. In response to Yang Dingtians glare, Dugu Fengwu treated it as though she didnt see anything as she continued to walk towards the martial contest stage. But when no one was noticing, her face turned cold as she drew her thumb across a neck and making a throat slicing motion. Yang Dingtian didnt know if it was a threat or simply a warning that Yang Dingtian was going to die today. ... When reaching the martial contest stage, there was already a racket, and there were hundreds of people seated around the contest stage. It seemed like the entire Divine Weapons Manor had turned out in full strength. It was needless to say that Qiu Wanjie was heavily suspecting if Yang Dingtian was a fake. Otherwise, he wouldnt have gathered so many people to spectate the match. Wasnt he trying to put on a monkey show and had as many people to watch as possible? Dugu Fengwu, this demon woman, had overdone this idea. On this side of the martial contest are the Qin Clans siblings, Young Lord Qin Huaiyu and Young Lady Qin Jiaojiao. On the other side are Third Lady Gongsun and Young Lord Nameless. Qiu Wanjie spoke, The winner of this contest would be able to borrow this Mystic Fire Devil Hammer. Finishing his statement, Qiu Wanjie placed the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer in the high platform at the center of the stage. Without any hesitation, Qin Huaiyu slowly walked out and tipped on the ground before he drifted to the stage. Yang Dingtian looked at Dugu Fengwu and saw that she didnt seem like she was going to go on stage. He instantly frowned and stood up, as though he was going on stage. But before Yang Dingtian could go on stage, Dugu Fengwu leaped in the midair and landed softly like a kite. This demon woman... what kind of timing was this, and she still wanted to scheme like this? But her graceful figure did receive countless fiery and passionate eyes. Some of the people couldnt help and cheered out Lady Gongsun, but they quickly shut themselves. It was obvious that Qiu Wanjie and gave the orders to seal everyones mouth in the manor. No matter how infatuated they were towards Third Lady Gongsun, they were to remain silent. ... On the stage, Qin Huaiyu and Dugu Fengwu were standing on both ends of the stage. They looked at each other with a gap of few dozens of meters in between them. Qin Huaiyu was mild like jade and felt like the drifting like the wind. Dugu Fengwu was playing the role of Third Lady Gongsun, who had good deportment, flirtatious appearance, and exceptional youth. Young Lord Qin, I do not wish to make contact with a man. So, let us compete with mystic skills. Dugu Fengwu proposed with a charming voice. This explanation was adequate, and everyone present was nodding their heads. Third Lady Gongsun was the goddess in their hearts and didnt wish for her fragrant body to make contact with any other man. I agree! Qin Huaiyu replied warmly. As you can see, my dress is a little tight and not suited for big motions. During this martial contest, both sides will not move from where they stand and receive each others martial skills. The match will end when one of the sides, concedes, dies, or falls off the stage, Dugu Fengwu explained with a gentle voice. Everyone instantly gasped with surprise. The rules stated by Dugu Fengwu was very brutal as they would have to receive each others mystic skill without dodging forcefully. Even if there wouldnt be any deaths, there would surely be some injuries. Furthermore, no one could bear to see such a gorgeous beauty to be blasted by the horrific mystic skills. I agree, Qin Huaiyu replied while still smiling. Of course, this was Dugu Fengwus craftiness. A martial artist could only learn a certain kind of martial skill in their lifetime. If they were to compete with martial skills, no matter how much Dugu Fengwu tried to conceal her moves, she would still risk exposing her identity as the Evil Dao. But mystic skills were different. In theory, a martial artist could learn countless types of mystic skills, and it wouldnt expose her identity that easily. Young Lord Qin, would you like to start first, or shall I start? Dugu Fengwu asked in a tender voice. Everyone instantly looked towards Qin Huaiyu. Right now, any gentleman would allow the lady to start first. Lady Gongsun, please begin first, Qin Huaiyu responded. Dugu Fengwu spoke no more and slowly drew her sharp sword, as she gradually pointed it at Qin Huaiyu from afar. The contest stage instantly went silent. Yang Dingtian had also held his breath and waited for the match to begin. In fact, Yang Dingtian wanted to know whether Dugu Fengwu or Qin Huaiyu was stronger. One of them was the number-one beauty prodigy of the Evil Dao, while the other was the number-one youth expert of the Northwest Continent. Sooner or later, Yang Dingtian was destined to fight against Qin Huaiyu, and today was a chance for him to understand Qin Huaiyus true strength. Dong... Suddenly the air resonated with the sound of the zither. No one was playing the zither, as it was an effect that was produced by Dugu Fengwu using her mystic qi. Dong Dong Dong... The zither music sounded even more wonderful and more pleasant. At the same moment, Dugu Fengwu started to swirl her delicate body and danced on the stage. Thats right; she had yet to start the battle and was dancing instead. As she was tipping off the ground with her delicate toes, a wonderful figure floated in midair, spinning and swirling elegantly. Accompanied by the beautiful sound of the zither, Dugu Fengwus magical curves on her body twisted gracefully in an unbelievable arc, displaying the charm and grace of a woman. The musical sound grew louder and faster. Dugu Fengwus solo dance started to hasten and become dazzling like an illusion. In this small piece of land, Dugu Fengwus danced like a spiritual demon, like an illusion in the dark night. She danced in such bewitching moves. In an instant, everyone was intoxicated and had forgotten that this was a martial contest. They felt as though they were watching Third Lady Gongsuns sword dance. In this instant, Yang Dingtian had slightly forgotten that the woman on the stage was actually a demon woman from the Evil Dao. It felt as though her true identity was actually Third Lady Gongsun, and the Evil Daos princess was just her clone. Right at this moment, Yang Dingtian felt as though this woman was immersed in Third Lady Gongsuns spirit and life. Just as everyone was infatuated and intoxicated... The sound of the zither suddenly turned extremely sharp. Dang Dang Dang... The zithers string was like the bow, and the zithers sound was like the arrow, and every arrow was aimed at the soul. Swish Swish Swish... Dugu Fengwu, who was fluttering in the air, suddenly flung out alluring flowers from her sharp sword. Thats right, flowers. They were like peach blossoms, red roses, and blue roses. There were multiple kinds of flowers emitting rich colors, and there was nothing else more beautiful. They all burst out from the tip of Dugu Fengwus sword and flew towards Qin Huaiyu. One flower, two flowers! Ten flowers, twenty flowers! Dozens of flowers, a hundred flowers! Finally, all the illusionary fresh flowers were revolving around Qin Huaiyu and surrounded him. The scene was breathtaking and romantic. Countless fresh flowers were revolving and dancing around Qin Huaiyu. Qin Huaiyu, who wasnt very handsome, was now like an immortal when the flowers were revolving around him. All of a sudden, the zither sound suddenly turned extremely sharp and ear piercing! The air turned cold! Suddenly, the countless fresh flowers transformed into countless sharp swords. All the gentle and soft flowers had turned into cold and sinister swords. Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish... Countless mystic qi blades thrust at Qin Huaiyu in a frenzy from all directions and angles. There were no neglected places! This mystic skill was called Sword Shadow Rainbow, an earth-grade mystic skill. It was the secret mystic skill of the Seven Refined Lane that would only be imparted to the Lane Mistress. Countless people had heard of this mystic skill, but no one had witnessed it before, because those who witnessed it would be dead. But even in death, the victim would never be able to forget the wielders absolutely wonderful dance and figure. Now, to go against Qin Huaiyu, Dugu Fengwu had to execute the Seven Refined Lanes Lane Mistresss mystic skill, Sword Shadow Rainbow. It was indeed incredible and breathtaking! The countless sharp swords thrust towards Qin Huaiyu ferociously. It looked like it could instantly turn him into a pulp of mincemeat. Such an incredible mystic skill would never miss its target! Qin Huaiyu stared at the sharp swords that were rapidly approaching and was instantly immobilized. Suddenly, he brandished his longsword. The sword moved very quickly, but it seemed very slow because a single brandish had produced dozens of afterimages. As Qin Huaiyus sharp sword drew across, various parts of his body produced dozens of arms and sharp swords. Immediately after, there were more than a hundred, and a few hundred! An extremely bizarre scene occurred. It was as though Qin Huaiyu suddenly had countless arms and was brandishing countless sharp swords, which contested with Dugu Fengwus countless mystic qi blades. Cling Cling Cling Cling... The sword shadows weaved together and radiated with reflections of light. Countless arms and sword lights were brandished. Bang Bang Bang... The countless lights were shattered and turned into ashes. Dugu Fengwus scattered mystic qi blades were all shattered by Qin Huaiyus countless sword shadows! Swish... The final slash shattered the final mystic qi blade. A bundle of light suddenly burst in midair and vanished. Qin Huaiyus countless arms slowly formed into a single-arm, which was his right arm that wielded the sword. Qin Huaiyus mystic skill was called the Merciful and Sorrow Hands. It was also an earth-grade mystic skill, which just happened to counter against Dugu Fengwus Sword Shadow Rainbow. The entire stage was filled with silence as they looked at this scene with disbelief. Even in their dreams, they wouldnt be able to imagine such an astounding duel of mystic skills. Dugu Fengwus Sword Shadow Rainbow was illusionary and spiritually beautiful, which intoxicated everyone and as they were unwilling to wake up. Qin Huaiyus Merciful and Sorrow Hands was strange and unpredictable, which could smash any beautiful dream. Yang Dingtian let out a deep breath. This Qin Huaiyu was truly formidable. Yang Dingtian looked at him as though looking up at a tall mountain, and the peak of the mountain was completely concealed in the clouds. *** Dugu Fengwu looked at Qin Huaiyu with an amazed expression. She didnt expect for the Seven Refined Lanes secret mystic skill to be neutralized so easily. She didnt expect for Qin Huaiyus Merciful and Sorrow Hands to coincidentally counter against the Sword Shadow Rainbow. Qin Huaiyu smiled and said, It is my turn now. Lady Gongsun, be careful! Everyone held their breaths and stared at Qin Huaiyu, waiting for his shocking mystic skill. Chapter 159: Battle with Qin Huaiyu (Part 1) Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Qiu Wanjies expression turned cold as he asked, Young Lady Qin, what exactly do you want? Simple. We will have a martial contest. The winner will borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer, Qin Jiaojiao spoke indifferently. Back down. Qin Huaiyu spoke in an apathetic tone, Qin Jiaojiao, this is the last time I am saying this. Qin Jiaojiao suddenly rushed over and snatched the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer from Qiu Wanjie. I have never given up anything that I wanted since I was young. Let alone to an impersonator of the Hidden Sect. Even if the real Young Lord of the Hidden Sect were here, I still wouldnt give it up. Qin Huaiyu, if you want me to give it up, you better kill me first. Immediately after, Qin Jiaojiao lifted the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer and looked at Qin Huaiyu with a shrewdish expression. Just as Qin Huaiyu was coming over to snatch the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer, Qin Jiaojiao shouted loudly, Qin Huaiyu, if you come over and take the hammer, I will use it to smash my head and die in front of you. Qin Huaiyu was at wits end now and was shaking with anger. Brother Qin, is this your attitude? Dugu Fengwu looked at the siblings acting a show and instantly questioned. My little sister has been rude. I am embarrassed, Qin Huaiyu spoke indifferently. Right now, his expression might still be smiling, but his eyes didnt look as warm anymore. It was needless to say that he definitely wouldnt believe that Yang Dingtian was a disciple from the Hidden Sect. The Hidden Sect had secluded themselves for centuries, and if they were to appear in the world, they wouldnt do it in this manner. Asking a woman from the Seven Refined Lane to lead them to borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer from the Divine Weapons Manor? Looking at how prideful the Hidden Sect was, would they even come and borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer? As for the leaf ornament and that ancient artifact sword, which was claimed as the real deal by Qiu Wanjie. What about it? There must be some leaf ornament and artifact swords from the Hidden Sect that were lost during the great battle between the good and evil, two centuries ago. Hence, from the start, Qin Huaiyu felt that this Nameless was a fake. Furthermore, he must obtain the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer and certainly didnt want to give it up. But, he was worried that this person might be a real disciple from the Hidden Sect, and if he treated this Nameless with disrespect, it might bring trouble for the Northwest Qin Clan. Thus, he simply acted neutrally and performed a show with his sister. Of course, Qin Jiaojiao wasnt acting at all. When Qiu Wanjie went to look for Qin Huaiyu to discuss, the siblings didnt have any time to discuss this at all. But Qin Huaiyu had a complete grasp on how Qin Jiaojiao was going to react. He simply had to guide her a little, and Qin Jiaojiao would be going along with his plan. ... Now that his intention was clear, Qin Huaiyu wasnt willing to give up the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer as well. The two sides had decided to determine this matter with a martial contest. Dugu Fengwu couldnt help but immediately look at Yang Dingtian. She didnt reveal any expression, but Yang Dingtian could feel her concern. She had originally asked Yang Dingtian to learn the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword to deceive the people and only to use it for intimidation during the crucial moment. But, she didnt expect the opposing party to propose a contest immediately. This was troublesome! It didnt matter what kind of martial contest it would be, the result wouldnt be good. Yang Dingtian fighting against Qin Huaiyu? Putting aside the fact that Yang Dingtian was going to lose for certain, it would definitely expose Yang Dingtians identity. Seeing how crafty Qin Huaiyu was, he definitely had a complete understanding of Yang Dingtian. Then, should she let Yang Dingtian go against Qin Huaiyu? Yang Dingtian was just a 5-star Mystic Martial Warrior, while Qin Huaiyu was at least a high classed Great Mystic Martial Warrior. There wasnt even a need to battle. But if Dugu Fengwu had to fight against Qin Huaiyu, she would easily expose her Evil Daos identity. If that happened, they were going to be pursued by thousands of people, and the Seven Refined Lane would be implicated. But right now, they couldnt just withdraw without a fight, as that would make it even more suspicious. Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwu were forced to the edge of the cliff. Right now, even the straightforward Qiu Wanjie could see Qin Huaiyus intention and looked at Yang Dingtian with eyes of suspicion. Thats right, Qiu Wanjie was also suspicious of Yang Dingtians identity. Why would the disciple from the Hidden Sect suddenly appear in the world and come borrowing something from his Divine Weapons Manor? This wasnt something that fit the style of the Hidden Sect. A contest would be good... Qiu Wanjie laughed loudly and said, Lets go to the martial contest stage. The Mystic Fire Devil Hammer will be the prize, and the winner will be able to borrow it. Subsequently, Qiu Wanjie went to make arrangements in the martial contest stage. Many of the members of the Divine Weapons Manor also rushed towards the contest stage. Qiu Wanjie was coordinating with Qin Huaiyu as they wanted to force out Yang Dingtians true identity. Right now, Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwu had no way out and had to agree to the martial contest. If Dugu Fengwu and Yang Dingtian refused, they would immediately follow up with their response. Impersonating the disciples of the Hidden Sect was an extremely grave sin and would mean to become the public enemy of the Heaven Dao Union and the world. It was truly a sin that would result in death without any burial grounds. Senior Nameless, please! Qin Huaiyu said with a gentle smile that was still on his face. But in Yang Dingtians eyes, hidden behind this smiling face was a heart that was like a vicious snake. Please! Yang Dingtian spoke indifferently and walked towards the contest stage. **** When walking towards the martial contest stage, Yang Dingtian glared at Dugu Fengwu when no one was noticing. This was entirely this demon womans idea, and there was no way to withdraw now. If Yang Dingtian was exposed as a fake, he would definitely be turned into mince, Dugu Fengwu wouldnt be able to escape the same fate either, and would be judged as an accomplice. But knowing how incredible this demon woman was, Yang Dingtian wonderer if she would be able to kill her way out of the Divine Weapons Manor. But it should be impossible, as there were two experts in front of them, Qin Huaiyu and Qiu Wanjie, not forgetting that the Divine Weapons Manor had a Master class expert, who was Qiu Wanjies father, Qiu Qianqiu. He was currently over ninety years of age and had been secluding in the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion for a few years now. In response to Yang Dingtians glare, Dugu Fengwu treated it as though she didnt see anything as she continued to walk towards the martial contest stage. But when no one was noticing, her face turned cold as she drew her thumb across a neck and making a throat slicing motion. Yang Dingtian didnt know if it was a threat or simply a warning that Yang Dingtian was going to die today. ... When reaching the martial contest stage, there was already a racket, and there were hundreds of people seated around the contest stage. It seemed like the entire Divine Weapons Manor had turned out in full strength. It was needless to say that Qiu Wanjie was heavily suspecting if Yang Dingtian was a fake. Otherwise, he wouldnt have gathered so many people to spectate the match. Wasnt he trying to put on a monkey show and had as many people to watch as possible? Dugu Fengwu, this demon woman, had overdone this idea. On this side of the martial contest are the Qin Clans siblings, Young Lord Qin Huaiyu and Young Lady Qin Jiaojiao. On the other side are Third Lady Gongsun and Young Lord Nameless. Qiu Wanjie spoke, The winner of this contest would be able to borrow this Mystic Fire Devil Hammer. Finishing his statement, Qiu Wanjie placed the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer in the high platform at the center of the stage. Without any hesitation, Qin Huaiyu slowly walked out and tipped on the ground before he drifted to the stage. Yang Dingtian looked at Dugu Fengwu and saw that she didnt seem like she was going to go on stage. He instantly frowned and stood up, as though he was going on stage. But before Yang Dingtian could go on stage, Dugu Fengwu leaped in the midair and landed softly like a kite. This demon woman... what kind of timing was this, and she still wanted to scheme like this? But her graceful figure did receive countless fiery and passionate eyes. Some of the people couldnt help and cheered out Lady Gongsun, but they quickly shut themselves. It was obvious that Qiu Wanjie and gave the orders to seal everyones mouth in the manor. No matter how infatuated they were towards Third Lady Gongsun, they were to remain silent. ... On the stage, Qin Huaiyu and Dugu Fengwu were standing on both ends of the stage. They looked at each other with a gap of few dozens of meters in between them. Qin Huaiyu was mild like jade and felt like the drifting like the wind. Dugu Fengwu was playing the role of Third Lady Gongsun, who had good deportment, flirtatious appearance, and exceptional youth. Young Lord Qin, I do not wish to make contact with a man. So, let us compete with mystic skills. Dugu Fengwu proposed with a charming voice. This explanation was adequate, and everyone present was nodding their heads. Third Lady Gongsun was the goddess in their hearts and didnt wish for her fragrant body to make contact with any other man. I agree! Qin Huaiyu replied warmly. As you can see, my dress is a little tight and not suited for big motions. During this martial contest, both sides will not move from where they stand and receive each others martial skills. The match will end when one of the sides, concedes, dies, or falls off the stage, Dugu Fengwu explained with a gentle voice. Everyone instantly gasped with surprise. The rules stated by Dugu Fengwu was very brutal as they would have to receive each others mystic skill without dodging forcefully. Even if there wouldnt be any deaths, there would surely be some injuries. Furthermore, no one could bear to see such a gorgeous beauty to be blasted by the horrific mystic skills. I agree, Qin Huaiyu replied while still smiling. Of course, this was Dugu Fengwus craftiness. A martial artist could only learn a certain kind of martial skill in their lifetime. If they were to compete with martial skills, no matter how much Dugu Fengwu tried to conceal her moves, she would still risk exposing her identity as the Evil Dao. But mystic skills were different. In theory, a martial artist could learn countless types of mystic skills, and it wouldnt expose her identity that easily. Young Lord Qin, would you like to start first, or shall I start? Dugu Fengwu asked in a tender voice. Everyone instantly looked towards Qin Huaiyu. Right now, any gentleman would allow the lady to start first. Lady Gongsun, please begin first, Qin Huaiyu responded. Dugu Fengwu spoke no more and slowly drew her sharp sword, as she gradually pointed it at Qin Huaiyu from afar. The contest stage instantly went silent. Yang Dingtian had also held his breath and waited for the match to begin. In fact, Yang Dingtian wanted to know whether Dugu Fengwu or Qin Huaiyu was stronger. One of them was the number-one beauty prodigy of the Evil Dao, while the other was the number-one youth expert of the Northwest Continent. Sooner or later, Yang Dingtian was destined to fight against Qin Huaiyu, and today was a chance for him to understand Qin Huaiyus true strength. Dong... Suddenly the air resonated with the sound of the zither. No one was playing the zither, as it was an effect that was produced by Dugu Fengwu using her mystic qi. Dong Dong Dong... The zither music sounded even more wonderful and more pleasant. At the same moment, Dugu Fengwu started to swirl her delicate body and danced on the stage. Thats right; she had yet to start the battle and was dancing instead. As she was tipping off the ground with her delicate toes, a wonderful figure floated in midair, spinning and swirling elegantly. Accompanied by the beautiful sound of the zither, Dugu Fengwus magical curves on her body twisted gracefully in an unbelievable arc, displaying the charm and grace of a woman. The musical sound grew louder and faster. Dugu Fengwus solo dance started to hasten and become dazzling like an illusion. In this small piece of land, Dugu Fengwus danced like a spiritual demon, like an illusion in the dark night. She danced in such bewitching moves. In an instant, everyone was intoxicated and had forgotten that this was a martial contest. They felt as though they were watching Third Lady Gongsuns sword dance. In this instant, Yang Dingtian had slightly forgotten that the woman on the stage was actually a demon woman from the Evil Dao. It felt as though her true identity was actually Third Lady Gongsun, and the Evil Daos princess was just her clone. Right at this moment, Yang Dingtian felt as though this woman was immersed in Third Lady Gongsuns spirit and life. Just as everyone was infatuated and intoxicated... The sound of the zither suddenly turned extremely sharp. Dang Dang Dang... The zithers string was like the bow, and the zithers sound was like the arrow, and every arrow was aimed at the soul. Swish Swish Swish... Dugu Fengwu, who was fluttering in the air, suddenly flung out alluring flowers from her sharp sword. Thats right, flowers. They were like peach blossoms, red roses, and blue roses. There were multiple kinds of flowers emitting rich colors, and there was nothing else more beautiful. They all burst out from the tip of Dugu Fengwus sword and flew towards Qin Huaiyu. One flower, two flowers! Ten flowers, twenty flowers! Dozens of flowers, a hundred flowers!

Everyone held their breaths and stared at Qin Huaiyu, waiting for his shocking mystic skill. Chapter 160: Battle with Qin Huaiyu (Part 2) Chapter 160: Battle with Qin Huaiyu (Part 2)Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Qin Huaiyu inversed his longsword while he closed his eyes and mouth silently. In an instant, it felt as though there were echoes of thunder from the distant sky. Afterward, the sound of thunder grew closer and louder, while limitless energy started to accumulate and intensified. Finally, the sounds of thunder felt like it was right above their heads, and it was deafening. It echoed in the depths of the heart, and it was truly shocking. Boom... A bundle of blazing flames suddenly appeared above Dugu Fengwus head. Swish... The flames abruptly shot towards the ground and hovered half a feet above the surface of the ground, but it was still blazing intensively. Subsequently, there was a second bundle, third bundle, fourth bundle... A countless number of flames descended from the sky and landed around Dugu Fengwu. The final bundle of flame formed a ring of fire which completely surrounded Dugu Fengwu. Someone had recognized this mystic skill. This was an earth-grade high-class mystic skill, Hells Ring! Compared to Sword Shadow Rainbow and Merciful and Sorrow Hands, the Hells Ring was a mystic skill which was one class superior. Right now, the blazing ring of fire that surrounded Dugu Fengwu was the Hells Ring. This Hells Ring possessed an incomparably horrific temperature, and it was getting hotter and warmer. Finally, everything within this ring would be completely burned into ashes, even the air would be exhausted, and the space within this ring would be violently squeezed. Finally, the victim inside the ring of fire would explode into smithereens, transforming into a giant blazing flame. To be honest, the mystic skill wasnt as breathtaking as the first two mystic skills, but it was extremely wicked and vicious, especially after Dugu Fengwu stated the rules that they had to stay in place and must not shift their bodies. Then, could this vicious Hells Ring even be neutralized? It could be neutralized, and there were plenty of mystic skills that could neutralize it. But most of them were meant for the yin type mystic meridians. Especially those ice attribute mystic skills which were of earth-grade, they could all be used to neutralize the Hells Ring. But Dugu Fengwu just had to possess the Meridians of Splendid Flames! Therefore, there was no way for her to neutralize the Hells Ring! Perhaps, she could only look on as she got turned into ashes and explode into smithereens. Right now, everyone had a dull expression on their faces. This Qin Huaiyu might look cultured and refined, but his moves were so vicious. He actually used such a wicked mystic skill on an absolute beauty and wanted to kill her. Lady Gongsun, as long as you say that you admit defeat, I shall dispel this Hells Ring, said Qin Huaiyu. Dugu Fengwu responded with indifference! Bang... Bang... Bang... The stage couldnt endure the horrific flames and was gradually disintegrating. Yang Dingtians heart was burning anxiously. Would Dugu Fengwu just be burned into ashes like this, or would she admit defeat? You are made of fire, so am I. Young Lord Qin, your Hells Ring is indeed very vicious, and there is no way to neutralize it. Dugu Fengwu said in a cold voice, But that is for others! If it were someone else, even if they had a higher cultivation class than me, they wouldnt be able to avoid the horrible fate of being burned into ashes. But your opponent is me, and destroying your Hells Ring is like a childs play to me! As soon as Dugu Fengwu said it, she opened her petite mouth and slowly spat out a blue-colored flame. It was a very weak, but a very beautiful flame. This weak little flame abruptly rushed at the Hells Ring, like egg towards a rock, like a flying bird crashing into a boulder. There was only one result, which was a horrible death. When this blue flame rushed into the intense flames of the Hells Ring, it instantly revealed a malevolent face and violently consumed all the flames. Huff Huff Huff Huff... In just a split moment, the dreadful flames of the Hells Ring had been completely consumed without any remains. That beautiful blue flame then turned into a bundle of black flame. Yang Dingtian had never seen black flames, but now that he saw it, it was strangely terrifying. Qin Huaiyus face drastically altered as he said, Void Flame Consuming Art? Thats right. Dugu Fengwu said indifferently, It just happens to counter your Hells Ring. Immediately after, Dugu Fengwu said, Right now, it is my turn. If you come out unscathed after this move, then I shall admit my defeat. Her statement was filled with absolute resolution! Qin Huaiyus expression turned grave, as he fully concentrated his mind and waited for Dugu Fengwus horrifying attack. Everyone was waiting with expectation, as that horrifying Hells Ring could even damage Dugu Fengwu. After hearing her resolute tone, everyone was looking forward to what terrifying mystic skill she was going to use. Mystic Soul Guide... As Dugu Fengwus voice clearly sounded out, she started to swirl with rapid speed. It wasnt those twirls like a dance, but a most ordinary spin, and she was getting faster! Everyone was disappointed! Everyone thought that Third Lady Gongsun would execute a rare mystic skill that no one had ever seen, but she actually used such a common mystic skill like the Mystic Soul Guide. Thats right; the Mystic Soul Guide was the most ordinary and common mystic skill from the streets. One could purchase it anywhere for less than 50 gold coins. As long as one reached the rank of the Great Mystic Martial Master, they could simply learn this mystic skill. Up until now, Yang Dingtian had never seen anyone use this worthless street mystic skill because it was too ordinary, and it wasnt just a waste of mystic skill, but extremely humiliating. This mystic skill contained the least amount of skill and the least wonder. It had a very simple principle, which was to rotate rapidly while wielding a sword. The practitioner simply had to rotate quickly and gather mystic qi at the same time. Once the speed was so fast that it was out of control, the practitioner just had to throw out their gathered mystic qi. During that instant, the entire spirit soul would be flung out together with the mystic qi, due to the powerful centrifugal force, causing a phantom to exit the body and thrust at the enemy. S?a??h th? ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Of course, this phantom was completely formed with mystic qi, but it looked exactly like the practitioner. Thus, the reason why this mystic skill was called Mystic Soul Guide. In theory, as long as one could rotate fast enough, the mystic qi phantom that was shot out would possess almost the same amount of strength as the practitioner. It would be equivalent to using ones own body to attack the enemy. It was like having a clone that would not suffer any form of damage. Naturally, that was only in theory. In fact, everyone who desperately rotated with extreme speed but was only able to throw out a phantom that had less than a tenth of the practitioners strength. Looking at how fast Dugu Fengwu was rotating with increasing speed, everyone had this disappointed expression, only Qin Huaiyus face had changed. Soon enough, everyone felt something strange because Dugu Fengwu had rotated so fast that her figure couldnt be seen, and she had turned into a pink shadow. Immediately after, the pink shadow had completely vanished, and Dugu Fengwus rotating body had turned transparent. It was as though she turned invisible. Bang Bang Bang... On the solid stage, layers of giant rocks cracked and spiraled upwards, which were immediately ripped into dust. The surface of the ground, which were a dozen meters around Dugu Fengwu, seemed as though countless blades had slashed across, causing the layers of cracks. Bang... There was a sonic boom that was caused by the supersonic speed. A beautiful and magnificent figure was sent towards Qin Huaiyu, which was wielding a chilling blade. Mystic Soul Guide! Qin Huaiyu had an astonished expression as he suddenly bent down, stabbed his sword into the ground, and arched his back up. Roar... There was a loud beast roar. A ferocious tiger which was formed by flames, burst out from Qin Huaiyus body and rushed at Dugu Fengwus phantom. Crash... There was a loud sound, followed by a burst of radiance. The flaming tiger had crashed with Dugu Fengwus phantom. Flames scattered out as the flaming tiger was broke into pieces. While Dugu Fengwus phantom had been shattered. Swish... The shattered phantom continued to rush at Qin Huaiyu and entered his body. Pfff... Qin Huaiyu burst out with fresh blood as his body backed over a dozen meters and reached the edge of the stage. Cling... Qin Huaiyu vigorously stabbed his sword into the surface of the ground and stopped the momentum so that he wouldnt fall off the stage. He slowly stood up and wiped off the fresh blood on the corner of his mouth and said, Lady Gongsun is truly incredible! Everyone was astonished. They never expected an ordinary mystic skill actually to produce such power when used by Third Lady Gongsun. She said that she was going to injure Qin Huaiyu, and she actually did it. Immediately after, Qin Huaiyu said, Next, Lady Gongsun will also receive a Mystic Soul Guide from me. If I cannot defeat Lady Gongsun with this move, then it shall be my defeat! Everyone was shocked by this declaration! Earlier, Third Lady Gongsun simply said that she was going to injure Qin Huaiyu, and she ultimately did it. Right now, Qin Huaiyu actually claimed that he was going to defeat her in a single move. Where did he get such confidence? In order to defeat Dugu Fengwu, he had to force her out of the stage or kill her. Either method was going to be extremely difficult, right? But when Dugu Fengwu heard this declaration, her expression instantly turned grave. She understood what Qin Huaiyu said. For this Mystic Soul Guide, Qin Huaiyu was going to pour in all of his mystic qi without any reserve. If he still couldnt defeat her in this move, wouldnt it be the same as admitting defeat? Swish... Qin Huaiyu started to rotate. Faster and faster. He had turned into an afterimage. Subsequently, he turned into a transparent shadow. Similar to Dugu Fengwu, countless blades violently slashed the surrounding surface of the ground. But it still didnt end yet! Everyone was appalled when they discovered that everything surrounding Qin Huaiyu started to turn dark. It was as though the rapidly rotating Qin Huaiyu had consumed the light, which was within a few feet from him. It was getting darker and darker! Only Qin Huaiyus body was extremely bright. Yang Dingtian could sense a dangerous qi presence, and so did Dugu Fengwu. Extremely powerful energy had been accumulated to the limit. Bang...! There was a loud sound! The darkness surrounding Qin Huaiyu had been ripped apart. Subsequently, a dark shadow left Qin Huaiyu and burst towards Dugu Fengwu with lightning speed. This was Qin Huaiyus Mystic Soul Guide, a dreadful Mystic Soul Guide. Dugu Fengwus delicate body floated up while she violently thrust with her sharp sword. Swish Swish Swish Swish... The sword lights were like a rainstorm of flowers, which were swiftly shot at Qin Huaiyus Mystic Soul Guide. They quickly tore at this bundle of dreadful black shadow. Inches of the condensed black shadow was being torn apart and was getting lighter and thinner. One had to use the lowest classed method to deal with the lowest class of mystic skill, like the Mystic Soul Guide. One could use mystic skill and block like Qin Huaiyu, or use martial prowess to destroy like Dugu Fengwu. Dugu Fengwu gathered all her spirit and used it to shred the Mystic Soul Guide in front of her. This was a test of extremely sword execution speed and mystic qi intensity. Swish Swish Swish Swish... Finally, Dugu Fengwus sword had turned into a bundle of shadow, as it rapidly thurst towards the Mystic Soul Guides head and was going to rip it apart. Right at this moment, Dugu Fengwus delicate body suddenly shuddered, while her face turned pale. Ahh... There was a delicate scream while her petite mouth spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Her delicate body abruptly flew dozens of feet back and out of the stage, flying towards Yang Dingtians direction. Yang Dingtian extended his arms. Bang... A tender and fragrant body crashed hard into his embrace, causing him to nearly vomit a mouthful of fresh blood due to the impact. I won, Qin Huaiyu spoke indifferently as he landed on his toes and sat back down at his own seat, as though he had done nothing special. Everyone gasped with surprise as no one believed it when Qin Huaiyu said that he was going to defeat Third Lady Gongsun. No one expected him to really do it and send Third Lady Gongsun out of the stage. ************* Right at this moment, Dugu Fengwu, who was in Yang Dingtians embrace, was icy cold, and her mouth was flowing with bright red blood. What happened? Werent you going to destroy his Mystic Soul Guide? Even if you couldnt destroy it, you shouldnt be sent flying out of the stage, right? Yang Dingtian asked softly. Isnt it all because of you? Dugu Fengwu replied with anger, That disgusting moment came again. What moment? Yang Dingtian asked. Dugu Fengwu responded, The moment where I instantly lose all my mystic qi happened again. Ah... Yang Dingtian was astonished. That moment when Dugu Fengwu was powerless had happened again. Furthermore, it happened right at the most crucial moment and caused her defeat. Dont be too happy now. Dugu Fengwu sneered and said, Indeed, I am currently powerless and unable to deal with you for now. But, I am unable to protect you either, and it is your turn next. Now it isnt the matter of winning the contest and obtaining the Mystic Fire Devil hammer. It is whether you can keep your measly life. Do you think that vicious Qin Jiaojiao would let you go? Yang Dingtian instantly felt a slight chill in his heart! Thats right, Dugu Fengwu had temporarily lost all her mystic and was unable to control Yang Dingtian, but she wasnt able to protect him either, which meant that Yang Dingtian was going to face this group of vicious wolves by himself. ******** Qin Jiaojiao couldnt hold herself back and leaped onto the stage and drew her sword. She pointed at Yang Dingtian and scoffed. Legendary Nameless. Your lover has lost, and it is your turn now. Immediately after, she revealed a strange and cruel smile and said, Dont worry. I will not be merciful, and you shall receive the result that you deserve. I will expose your true identity and let you taste my fury in front of everyone here! Chapter 161: Yang Dingtian Battle Against Qin Huaiyu, Absolute Shock! Chapter 161: Yang Dingtian Battle Against Qin Huaiyu, Absolute Shock!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales You gigolo. Others might not see what you truly are, but I have seen many men, and you are just another one of those gigolos who live off women. You used your good looks to hook up with Third Lady Gongsun and impersonate as a Hidden Sects disciple to swindle everybody. In fact, you are just a weak individual who couldnt even withstand a single blow, Qin Jiaojiao sneered and said, Come on then, hurry up and come up the stage. We will fight, and I will expose your true identity. Dugu Fengwu sneered and said, Go on then. That vicious woman is summoning you. Yang Dingtian glared at Dugu Fengwu and grasped onto the sharp sword in his hand. He then walked up the stairs onto the stage. Everyone had lightly leaped onto the stage, but Yang Dingtian actually walked up, which instantly caused everyone to burst out with laughter. He mustnt compete like this; he mustnt compete in a regular contest. Otherwise, everyone would know that Yang Dingtian was a fake, as a true Hidden Sects disciple couldnt be so weak like him. Yang Dingtian sighed and said, Young Lady Qin. I originally didnt want to come on stage, but since I did, I have to make a move. Then lets do it like this... He wanted to say that they should simply exchange pointers, but he was immediately interrupted by Qin Jiaojiao. Shut up. Qin Jiaojiao scoffed and said, Stop looking for excuses and other reasons. We will do a normal contest. If you want to use martial skill, then use martial skill; if you want to use mystic skill, then use the mystic skill. We will exhaust all our moves and mystic qi until one of us falls! Yang Dingtian was instantly infuriated and gritting his teeth. This vicious woman was truly so arrogant and the most troublesome type of stubborn woman. No wonder her reputation was so bad and invited so much hatred onto herself. Yang Dingtian must not have a regular contest with her, even if he was able to defeat her in the end. He had to use a tiny bit of mystic qi and flaunted his mystic skills. If he were to compete with his mystic qi truly, he would definitely be exposed. But, if he suggested competing without the use of mystic qi, he would expose himself even earlier. Furthermore, he had encountered such a vicious woman who was so shrewd and rude. He was at his wits end. Yang Dingtian silently gritted his teeth and said to Qin Jiaojiao, Young Lady Qin, please go off the stage. I do not wish to make a move on you. Qin Jiaojiao was startled and immediately laughed. Look, he is already exposing himself and doesnt dare to compete with me. In an instant, everyone was mocking at him. Qiu Wanjie had completely determined that this person was an impersonator of the Hidden Sect. He instantly revealed a sneer. It didnt matter if the result was a win or lose, he wasnt going to let this Nameless leave. Qiu Wanjie was going to torment Nameless so much that he was going to beg for death to dispel the anger in his heart. This bastard actually used a sword, a leaf ornament to frighten him. It was truly a humiliation. Yang Dingtian ignored all those mocking eyes and looked at Qin Huaiyu. Mister Qin Huaiyu. Can I trouble you to come and fight against me? If your sister insists on staying on stage, then please forgive me. I can only leave. When Yang Dingtian said this, everyone was speechless, including Qin Jiaojiao! Afterward, everyone looked at Yang Dingtian with surprise. He wasnt actually frightened, he just didnt think it was worth fighting with Qin Jiaojiao. He felt that Qin Jiaojiao was actually too weak. In this instant, Qin Huaiyus expression changed, so did Qiu Wanjie, as he withdrew his sneer. Could, could this kid really be a disciple of the Hidden Sect? Otherwise, why would he pick the strong instead of the weak? Furthermore, only a disciple of the Hidden Sect would be able to conceal his true cultivation class. It was just like their sword, which could hide its power, making it low-profile and natural. Im-impossible. He is just putting on a pretense, Qin Huaiyu thought in his heart and told himself not to be intimidated. Afterward, he gritted his teeth and stood up from his seat. He leaped onto the stage again and stood opposite Yang Dingtian. Since Senior Nameless wants me to come, then I shall humbly accept your invitation. Qin Jiaojiao looked at Yang Dingtian with eyes of suspicion, seemingly trying to spot a flaw from his expression. Jiaojiao, hurry up and get down, Qin Huaiyu said. Qin Jiaojiao stomped her feet and jumped off the stage, but she was still looked at Yang Dingtian with a discontented look. ... Senior Nameless. What rules do you want to set for our contest? Please name it, Qin Huaiyu looked at Yang Dingtian and spoke with a smile that didnt look like a smile. Right now, Yang Dingtian was truly suffocating. This game was getting more and more serious. After forcing one step after another, he was actually standing on the same stage as Qin Huaiyu. How many more classes was Qin Huaiyu stronger? How many more folds was Qin Huaiyu stronger than him? Yang Dingtian wasnt sure, but it was definitely a difference between the sky and the land. Right now, his battle against Qin Huaiyu couldnt even be described as a mantis blocking against a car. To hell with the demon woman, Yang Dingtian let out a ruthless curse in his heart at Dugu Fengwu. He then looked at Qin Huaiyu and said as though it didnt matter. There is no need for any rules. Mister Qin Huaiyu can do whatever you want. Once he said this, everyone present had a change in expression again. He was actually so confident and so overbearing. Yang Dingtian had allowed Qin Huaiyu to use whatever method he wanted, which meant Yang Dingtian completely disregarded Qin Huaiyu. Qin Huaiyus expression changed as he let out a light smile and said, Then, I will not reserve myself. Subsequently, he slowly drew his sharp sword. Although there might be severe consequences, Qin Huaiyu was going to make a serious move. He truly wanted to see if this Nameless was really what he claimed to be. Feeling the sense of fatal danger, all of the pore on Yang Dingtians back had stopped breathing. Thats right, this was probably the most dangerous moment in Yang Dingtians life, and it was the closest moment he would be to death. During the next few moments, his demonstration must not have any single flaw even for a second. Even if he was flawless, there was a chance that he would still perish in this place. Silently taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian said indifferently, Mister Qin Huaiyu. I shall take begin then. Afterward, Yang Dingtian immediately closed his eyes. Everyone was shocked again when they saw that Yang Dingtian actually closed his eyes during a duel. Was he actually thinking that he wasnt going to die? Or was his brain actually damaged? It was neither. As such, Yang Dingtians action was immediately deemed as having a card up his sleeve, as though he didnt even need to see where the enemy was. Yang Dingtian truly didnt have to see where his enemy was, as even if he knew it would be useless. As long as Qin Huaiyu made a move, Yang Dingtian was definitely going to perish. Hence, he must not allow Qin Huaiyu to make the first move. After closing his eyes, Yang Dingtian lightly floated into midair after tapping on the ground. His movements were extremely graceful, but it didnt demonstrate any powerful mystic qi. From the looks of his cultivation, he could only be considered ordinary. In midair, Yang Dingtian slowly twirled and drew a circle with his hand. He then drew another circle! Everyone was stunned. What was this? Such a slow sword art would allow the enemy to kill him more than ten thousand times. Such a slow sword wouldnt even be able to kill a mosquito, let alone an expert like Qin Huaiyu. Yang Dingtian didnt bother and continued to draw the circles. Hur hur, putting on a facade, Qin Huaiyu scoffed and raised his sword. He was about to rush and thrust at Yang Dingtian. But the next scene caused him to stop all of his movements. The circles that Yang Dingtian drew actually formed a halo that floated in midair. One halo, two halos, three halos... nine halos... After drawing nine halos, Yang Dingtian drifted back to his original position. Bang... All the halos abruptly shattered and formed countless teardrops. They were translucent teardrops which suspended in midair, and there was nothing more beautiful than this scene, which had this mystical atmosphere. Subsequently, all the teardrops started to fall. When splashed on the surface of the ground, it would gently make small pits. When splashed on the crowd, it would bring a slight sting. Many had their hair snapped and clothes penetrated even though it only seemed a powerless move! Everyone was stunned and astonished by such mystical and mysterious sword art. S~?a??h the ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Qin Huaiyu and Qiu Wanjie looked at each other and thought of a shocking possibility. Their backs were instantly drenched with a burst of cold sweat. They knew of this sword art, and it was heard from their ancestors. This was the most mystical sword art and the most powerful sword art in the world. It was the Swaying Calamity Crossing Swords sword art, River Tears. The Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword was a sword art that only the Hidden Sects disciples could learn. This sword art itself represented the Hidden Sect. The leaf ornament could be a fake, and the artifact sword could be picked up. But this sword art could never be fake. Even if one could learn the sword moves, they would never be able to learn the essence of the sword art because only those who learned it from the manuals would be able to grasp it. Only the disciples from Hidden Sect could learn the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword from the manual. In this instant, there was no longer any doubts or disputes for Nameless identity. Even Qin Jiaojiaos expression had drastically changed. Of course, Yang Dingtians River Tears was very weak, but they had found their answer to it. There were so many people in this place, and if Yang Dingtian executed the full power, all the observers here would have perished. They felt that the weakened power of the teardrops from River Tears was because of Nameless mercy and not because of his insufficient mystic qi. Yang Dingtian didnt stop. After executing the River Tears, he immediately executed the second move of the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword, Soul Departing Mirror! As his figure flashed, he suddenly refracted over a dozen meters. He flashed again and refracted over another few dozen meters. Yang Dingtians figure had shifted and switched over the entire stage, covering every inch of space. In the next instant, as though an illusion, he left behind countless afterimages and countless sword lights. Afterward, he lightly refracted back to his original position and sheathed his sword. Instantly, all the afterimages fractured, and the image of the entire stage had fractured! Everywhere where fractures were, the leaves would be sliced. One strand of hair fell from a womans head. Subsequently, a corner of her dress had been sliced. Everyone was in shock again, shocked by this breathtaking scene. Of course, the power of the fractures was so mild, all because of Nameless mercy. Otherwise, this entire stage would have truly fractured, and everything here would have been completely destroyed and decimated. The true power of the Soul Departing Mirror was enough even to change the scenery of heaven and earth. Yang Dingtian originally wanted to continue brandishing his sword, but he suddenly opened his eyes and spoke to Qin Huaiyu, Mister Qin, why are you not doing anything? Am I the only one fighting here? Yang Dingtian still had this flat voice. This voice, which previously sounded like a pretense, was now unfathomable in everyones opinion. Qin Huaiyu didnt reply and just gritted on his teeth and bowed deeply. His waist was nearly at a right angle, and after he bowed, he didnt dare to come back up again. In absolute silence, he used the most respectful attitude to seek forgiveness from Nameless. Immediately after, Qiu Wanjie stood up and bowed deeply as well. He, too, didnt dare to utter a single word. Yang Dingtian spoke dully, If you arent going to fight, then I shall take my leave. Subsequently, he turned and walked down the stage. He carried Dugu Fengwu and was about to leave. Your Mystic Fire Devil Hammer... Qiu Wanjie used all his strength and spoke while shivering. Are you still going to lend it to me? Yang Dingtian asked. Qiu Wanjie lowered his head with extreme agony and extreme regret that he trusted Qin Huaiyus words. Regretful that he had offended this Hidden Sects disciple in front of him. I beg you. Please take this Mystic Fire Devil Hammer, Qiu Wanjie struggled to speak. Oh. Thank you then, Yang Dingtian spoke as though he didnt bother and walked onto the tall platform and grabbed the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer. Wow, it is heavy, Yang Dingtian commented. Everyone revealed a knowing smile. How could a disciple of the Hidden Sect think that this Mystic Fire Devil Hammer was heavy when it was only a few hundred kilograms? It was definitely impossible. It was just his naturally lofty character, as he used his most ordinary tone to express his feeling. Of course, this was just their understanding, but Yang Dingtian truly felt that this Mystic Fire Devil Hammer was very heavy. It was just an average-sized hammer, but it was actually a few hundred kilograms. He used one hand to lift the hammer and the other hand to carry Dugu Fengwu. Yang Dingtian simply walked out of the stage and left Divine Weapons Manor. Qiu Wanjie wanted to invite Yang Dingtian to say, but he didnt dare to. Chapter 162: Playing with the Demon Woman! Fire Cloud Devil Cave Chapter 162: Playing with the Demon Woman! Fire Cloud Devil CaveTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Only after he had escaped to a desolated valley, which was about tens of kilometers away from the Divine Weapons Manor, had Yang Dingtian felt that he was safe enough to collapse onto the ground and finally take a break. Seriously though, he really lost half of his soul back there. What he did just then was nothing less than walking on the edge of hell. As he laid on the ground, Yang Dingtian searched hard for his breath and realized that he was too tired to move even just a bit. He could really feel how precious life was at this moment. He had finally gotten away from having his life endangered, and the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer was also his now. Damn! Even after lying on the ground for ten whole minutes, Yang Dingtian still couldnt muster any strength in his body. Oh my, just look at yourself, Dugu Fengwu smiled sarcastically, I wouldnt expect to see such terror from a grown man like you! Yang Dingtian became so irritated that he didnt know what to say in response. After all, if it werent for all the things Dugu Fengwu did back then, there was just no way Yang Dingtian wouldve gotten into so much danger. Seriously, the way she taunted him just now was anything but decent. Yet, despite all the anger that Yang Dingtian bore towards Dugu Fengwu, he still hadnt forgotten to be thankful for the fact that Dugu Fengwu had now lost all her mystic qi. In other words, she had virtually no power over him whatsoever. Yang Dingtian blessed the heavens in his mind, Oh, dear Almighty! If it werent for luck, I wouldve never gotten the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer, let alone escape from the claws of this crazy demon woman! Lucky as he might be, though, Yang Dingtian knew he had to hurry up and reach the Fire Cloud Devil Cave before Dugu Fengwu fully recovered her strength. There was less than three days before the grade nine inferno was completely extinguished, and three days was roughly the amount of time Yang Dingtian needed to reach the Fire Cloud Devil Cave. Speaking of which, since the Fire Cloud Devil Cave was located on a desolated island out in the ocean, Yang Dingtian also needed a boat to get to his destination. Prepare yourself, demon woman, Yang Dingtian quickly got up from the ground and looked towards Dugu Fengwu, while stripping off his robe. So, are you going to kill me now? Dugu Fengwu asked emotionlessly. No. Youre powerless now, so there is no need for me to be scared of you. Yang Dingtian replied as he took off his mask, revealing his real appearance. He was ready to pack up and leave this place. Then, almost effortlessly, Yang Dingtian took a pill out of his pocket and shoved it in Dugu Fengwus mouth. S?a??h the N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. What did you just feed me? Dugu Fengwu gasped in shock. Yang Dingtian explained, Dont worry, its just a pill thatll make you sleep for a few days. By the time you wake up, Ill be out of this place and away from you for good. You see, Ill be done crafting my youngling sword before you can get to me. It didnt take much time for the pill to take effect on Dugu Fengwu. Within no time, she had lost the strength to even stand still in front of Yang Dingtian and quickly passed out on the ground. Seeing how vulnerable Dugu Fengwu had become, Yang Dingtian decided that it was best to carry her to somewhere sheltered, even though there was nobody around this area. So, youve drugged me, Dugu Fengwu gritted her teeth as her eyes were already half-closed from sleepiness, Ill tear you into pieces once I regain consciousness. Ha, well see about that when the time comes! Yang Dingtian laughed out loudly, then started to remember something, Come to think of it, isnt this the perfect time for a little payback? Smack. Almost instinctively, Yang Dingtian raised his palm and gave Dugu Fengwu a loud spank on her ripe, plump butt. H-How dare you, Dugu Fengwu called out in a pitch way higher than her normal voice. While she was still under the effect of the sleeping pill, the embarrassment alone was enough to make her sleepiness vanish for some time. How dare what? You think this is the worst I can do? Yang Dingtian said indifferently. Having found a hole nearby, Yang Dingtian dropped the vulnerable Dugu Fengwu in it and soon jumped in with her. Having found a secret hole where nobody could find them, Yang Dingtian started touching every part of Dugu Fengwus body that he felt like touching. He began rubbing and pinching her thighs, then her butt, then the breasts, the cheeks, the nose. After touching every part that he felt like touching, Yang Dingtian concluded that Dugu Fengwus butt was definitely the most attractive part of her, and with that in mind, took off her pants and gave a couple of loud smacks to her pale, round bosom. Within a matter of a few seconds, Dugu Fengwus ripe buttock was already red from all that smacking that Yang Dingtian gave her. Whats this? Yang Dingtian pinched hard onto Dugu Fengwus butt, Oh wow, I didnt know your butt would swell when you slap it! Ive sort of expected itd be stone-cold, just like your heart! Both enraged and embarrassed at the same time, Dugu Fengwu could no longer stay calm. Pieces, Yang Dingtian, she said in a shaky voice as she tried to hold it in, Ill shred you into pieces no matter what it takes... You want my blood so badly already, so what difference does it make? As far as Im concerned, it makes more sense if I make the most out of this opportunity, Yang Dingtian smiled maliciously, then gave another ten more hits to Dugu Fengwus butt. Kill me. Kill me! Yang Dingtian! Dugu Fengwu called out in exasperation. Cant take it anymore? I thought you were stronger than this, Miss Dugu, Yang Dingtian sneered and squeezed her chin with his hand, Come on, pretty girl, give your daddy a smile! Remember this, remember this, Yang Dingtian! What youve done to me today, Ill return it to you ten times, a hundred times more when I can! Dugu Fengwu said in a shaky voice but was immediately silenced by a violent kiss to her mouth. Oh? Yang Dingtian licked his mouth like a pervert after stealing the kiss, Does the ten-times payback include this? Ill be all for it if thats what youre offering to me... While momentarily shifting his gaze between Dugu Fengwus eyes and her body, Yang Dingtian paused for a bit before continuing to speak. Listen here. Im a married man, and I love my wife very much. If it werent for that, I wouldve defiled you right here and now. Since thats what everyone believes now, its only fair if I make it real, right? Ill end you, Yang Dingtian! I swear it! Dugu Fengwu shrieked, her beautiful eyes were completely red by this point. Really? I told you that Im not going to do anything to you, and you still want my life? Fine, Ill make sure I have enough fun with you then. After a few gentle slaps on Dugu Fengwus cheek, Yang Dingtian started making her do funny faces with his hands. He tried pulling her nose to make a pig face, tried squeezing her mouth to make a chicken face, and tried mushing her face together as you would to a play-doh-dough. To sum it up, whatever expression Yang Dingtian could think of, he made Dugu Fengwu do it. Dugu Fengwu was very reluctant at the start, of course, but after a while, the screaming and cursing suddenly stopped. Eventually, all she was doing was just staring at Yang Dingtian. All of a sudden, Yang Dingtian felt a wet sensation on his palms. After realizing it, he looked down on his hands and saw that his hands were full of blood. It turned out that the blood was coming from Dugu Fengwus lip, which was bleeding because she was biting into it as hard as she could, and judging by how pale her pretty face was, this was really, perhaps, the most humiliating moment of her life. Yang Dingtian really did a number on her. He didnt expect it at all before, and there were even tiny drops of tears coming out of her eyes. Shocked to see such a strong reaction from Dugu Fengwu, Yang Dingtian immediately stopped all the bullying that he was doing to her. Uh! Yang Dingtian said after pausing for a bit, Sorry. I guess I shouldnt make fun of you like that. Dugu Fengwu still didnt say anything. In fact, blood was still pouring out of her mouth as she was still biting into her own lip with all the strength that she had. Thats right. Dugu Fengwu was angry when she had learned that Yang Dingtian had defiled her, but she was not sad at all. She also didnt feel an ounce of sorrow when she had lost all her mystic qi. But being played around like this? For someone like her, who was supposed to be strongest of the strongest, the future leader of the devils, and the genuine heir of the witch, even the smallest tease was an offense far worse than having her life taken away from her. This was why she could not tolerate something like this at all. Yang Dingtian kept on explaining himself, Well, you see, I was on the brink of death back then. I was getting a little jumpy, and thats the only reason I did those things to you. Dugu Fengwu still didnt say anything. Seeing that talking was of no use here, Yang Dingttian helped Dugu Fengwu putting her pants back on. I guess Ill go now, Yang Dingtian said as he was done, You should be waking up in a few days. Ive put a special ointment on you thatll protect you from the animals. Ill say my farewells to you then. See you. Wait, I mean, never see you again. Then, without a pause, Yang Dingtian turned his head and left. Yang Dingtian, Dugu Fengwu suddenly spoke out while Yang Dingtian could still hear her. You saw my tears. You saw the weak side of me, and thats a hundred, a thousand times worse than seeing my naked body. So Ill say this now: kill me now if youre smart enough, or else Ill definitely kill you the next time I see you. When someone says something like that with such a calm voice, you know they are serious about it. Yang Dingtian knew that, of course, and the best course of action for him was, without a doubt, kill Dugu Fengwu right here and now. But after looking at her for a while, Yang Dingtian only said one thing, Sorry, but I cant do it. And with that, Yang Dingtian left. Without ever looking back. After he was gone from Dugu Fengwus sight, Yang Dingtian quickly took out a mask from his ring of storage and changed his appearance once again. He then changed into a new set of cloth and before continuing on with his journey, and placed his Mystic Fire Devil Hammer and the Hidden Sects sword in his ring of storage. Now that he had hidden in his disguise, nobody could tell that Yang Dingtian was the fake disciple of the Hidden Sect. *************** Back to Dugu Fengwu. A while after Yang Dingtian had left her, the pill was starting to take its full effect and make her lose her consciousness completely. However, just as Dugu Fengwu was about to close her eyes and accept her defeat, an overwhelming power started channeling through her body, and it miraculously destroyed the effect of Yang Dingtians pill. Shaken by this change in her body, Dugu Fengwu instantly got herself up. Those weak-spirited eyes of her, which reflected her state of mind just then, were now relaxed and calm, and even murderous. It appeared that she had regained her mystic qi before she was about to fall into the days-long slumber that Yang Dingtian had prepared for her. With a stare that could pierce the winds, Dugu Fengwu picked up her sword and looked at Yang Dingtians direction. If she had the will to, which she definitely did, it wouldnt take long before she could hunt down the man who she so desperately wanted to kill. Yet, despite having all the reasons to chase Yang Dingtian down right away, Dugu Fengwu stood still where she was and revealed a deadly smile. A few days, Yang Dingtian, Dugu Fengwu whispered in Yang Dingtians direction, Ill wait for you at the Fire Cloud Devil Cave and spare your life for a few more days. Youd have to get the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl out by that time then. Revenge is a dish best served cold. Ill wait for my revenge until I can make the most of it. After I take the pearl from you, Yang Dingtian, Ill make sure you die in the most painful way possible. Youll beg for your life, and Ill deny you. Youll beg for a quick death; however, Ill take all the time I can to make sure I can squeeze all the pain out of your soul before it is free of its suffering! Swish. As Dugu Fengwu slashed the air with her sword, all the trees and rocks within almost a hundred meters in front of her were blown into dust. After she was done testing her strength, Dugu Fengwu leaped from the ground and, before falling down, materialized a pair of wings on her back and began heading towards the direction of the Fire Cloud Devil Cave. ... After three days of traveling through the ocean, Yang Dingtians boat had reached a giant volcanic island by the beach. Over the distance, clearly, was a gigantic volcano, unlike anything he had seen before. From what Yang Dingtian had heard, the top opening of that volcano was supposed to be the entrance to the Fire Cloud Devil Cave. Finally, Yang Dingtian sighed in relief. For a little heads-up, the Fire Cloud Devil Cave was located in the west, which got its name because it was technically at the western edge of the Land of Chaos. Despite being a very isolated place, the island was actually pretty famous for having the biggest active volcano in all of the northwest continent, peaking at about several tens of thousands of meters tall. According to Yang Dingtians teacher, the great Dongfang Niemie, this volcano was still active and erupted once every decade. When this gigantic volcano erupts, the lava that bursts out of it can rise as high as the volcano itself. So, even if you are a horizon away from it, you can still see the flame as it reaches to the sky. A few centuries ago, this island was very tiny. But after every volcanic eruption in its history, the solidified magma and ashes that were produced continued to produce more surface when they stretch out and cool down. After a millennium of such repetitive activities, the island now had an area of several thousand square kilometers. A hundred years ago, the volcano that erupted once every decade suddenly became dormant. Although some people thought that was weird, most didnt care too much because they knew volcano was supposed to be unpredictable. However, only a few knew what was actually happening, and the fact was that the volcano had never stopped erupting once every decade. The only difference in place was that the eruption was now completely underground, rather than occurring upward like it did in the past. The impression between a visible and an invisible volcanic eruption is undoubtedly very different, but the frightening energy level they produce... Well, lets just say that you wouldnt be able to tell the difference if you can measure them. ************** The beach was about a hundred miles away from the volcano, and without a doubt, there was no footpath in-between. This meant the only way to reach the Fire Cloud Devil Cave was to pass straight through the forest. Tired as he might be, Yang Dingtian was feeling more enthusiastic the more he reached towards the volcano. After all, he was finally going to craft his very own youngling sword. The Fire Cloud Devil Cave. The great inferno. My own youngling sword. Whatever it is, here I come! Yang Dingtian called out in excitement, Sorry, demon woman, I guess your precious flame is all mine now! Enjoy your sleep while I am at it! Unbeknownst to Yang Dingtian, Dugu Fengwu was already sitting on top of the volcano, watching over him with her cold, sadistic smile. Ill make you learn the taste of regret, Yang Dingtian! After no time, youll know what its like to have your hope turn into despair! Chapter 163: Let’s settle this once and for all, demon woman! Chapter 163: Lets settle this once and for all, demon woman!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Fortunately, Yang Dingtian didnt face any danger while he was traveling through the jungle. He didnt see any illusionary beast, and he didnt see any living person. The Heaven Flame Phoenix, which spent a great deal its time in the Fire Cloud Devil Cave, was about the only dangerous creature around. As it reigned over the entire island, no powerful creature, illusionary or not, would dare to challenge its authority by intruding on the island. Strangely, when Yang Dingtian had reached the bottom of the volcano, it wasnt as hot as he expected. When he looked upward, he could see that the volcano was so tall that it was literally amongst the clouds. The surface of the volcano, which was constituted of solidified lava, had a fluid-like appearance to it despite how hard it was. It was almost like somebody had made a stone sculpture of the moving tides. To enter the Fire Cloud Devil Cave, all you have to do was to climb the volcano and jump straight down its crater. After taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian began climbing his way to the top. Despite the steepness and the smoothness of the volcanos surface, Yang Dingtian was still making quite good progress with his climb. Within just half an hour, he was already halfway to the top. Thud Thud Thud. Without any signs, the entire volcano started quaking like crazy, and it almost made Yang Dingtian slip from where he was standing. Followed by the shaking, a loud, sharp noise started soaring through the sky from the inside of the volcano. Without showing signs of stopping, the noise was only getting louder and sharper as every second passed by. Yang Dingtian was able to withstand it at the start, but soon he was in too much pain to even stand up straight. In less than a minute, he was already on the ground, kneeling as his eardrums were about to rupture. It appeared that the Heaven Flame Phoenix was trying to send a warning to Yang Dingtian. It was trying to warn him not to go inside its home. Of course, the Heaven Flame Phoenix wasnt planning to fly out of the volcano as of yet. A mere human like Yang Dingtian was not worthy of such attention, not when he was still struggling to find his way inside the Fire Cloud Devil Cave. After about ten minutes of continuous screeching, blood was starting to pour out of Yang Dingtians ears. Several parts of his skin were torn open too. And by the time the Phoenix finally decided to stop its terrible cry, Yang Dingtians entire body was completely covered in his own blood. While trying to recover, Yang Dingtian took a long breath and got up from the ground. Honestly, a little longer of this torture and he wouldve been done for. If Yang Dingtian didnt possess the Nine Yang Mystic Meridians, any human, even a Mystic Martial Fighter, wouldve died from the screeching of a Heaven Flame Phoenix. Honestly, even a grandmaster wouldnt want to anger a millennium-old monster like it. They stand absolutely no chance against it. After taking another deep breath, Yang Dingtian continued to climb upward. Yet, by the time he had noticed it, the entire top half of the volcano was turning in glowing red color. Even the ground which Yang Dingtian was standing on was starting to melt once again. No! No! No! There wasnt any time to think. Before, it was the vocal warning of the Phoenix. Now it was a game of The Floor Is Lava. Strangely, the entire top half of the volcano was now in fluid form, and the bottom half was still cold-solid rock. If Yang Dingtian didnt leave this volcano now, the Heaven Flame Phoenix would probably melt the entire volcano. If that actually happened, he might have to take the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl right away. But if Yang Dingtian took the pill now, how was he supposed to face the Heaven Flame Phoenix later on? He would be completely hopeless if he wasted his resources right away. Damn it... As he held his breath, Yang Dingtian quickly made a run towards the top. As Yang Dingtian ran faster and faster, the ground he was stepping on was turning brighter and redder. Three kilometers left before reaching the volcanos crater, the ground beneath Yang Dingtian was already one thousand degrees. Right now, the pair of boots Yang Dingtian was wearing had already been burnt out. He was now wearing a pair of Chilling Iron Boots to protect his feet. Two kilometers before he had reached the volcanos top, the Chilling Iron Boots Yang Dingtian was wearing were turning red too. Both his feet were starting to burn so badly that it was the only thing he could feel. A thousand and five hundred meters before reaching the top, the Chilling Iron Boots were already burnt through, and the raging flames were about to touch Yang Dingtians feet. Yang Dingtian was in real trouble now. The protection gear he had just lost was an exquisite item made entirely out of Fire Immunity Silk, costing at about ten grand of gold. If something that good couldnt stand against the heat, it wouldnt be hard to imagine how long human flesh would last. With the Nine Yang Mystic Meridians, Yang Dingtian was very resistant against mystic qi attack. That being said, he was just as vulnerable as any normal person against fire. By now, every piece of clothing Yang Dingtian was wearing was starting to catch fire. All the sweating coming out was drying him up. His lips were starting to crack, and his throat was aching for moisture like the desert during the daytime. Any more of this could end him immediately. After he quickly swallowed another pill, Yang Dingtian ran upward with all the strength that he had. Yet, not even three hundred meters in, he was already falling backward. The ground he was running on was completely melted into a fluid form, and it was running straight down. Terrifyingly, the temperature beneath Yang Dingtians feet was about four to five thousand degrees. The fireproof garment he was wearing underneath his feet was just about to burn into ashes. Neither advancing or retreating was an option. There were only two choices here, and those were to take the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl right here or be melted alive by the boiling lava. Just when his feet were about to burn, an idea suddenly came to Yang Dingtian. He jumped as high as he could and quickly took out the Night Owl Strange Blade from his ring of storage. Then, by thrusting the blade downward, he created a footing with the handle of the blade. Fortunately, Yang Dingtian had found a way to prevent losing both of his legs. One second late, and half of his body wouldve turned into cinders. Yang Dingtian took another deep sigh as he once again saved himself from death. The Night Owl Strange Blade he was standing on was made of three materials: the claws of the Night Owl, the Mystic Ice Cold Metal, and parts of the blood bird gold swords. All three components were strong enough to withstand the heat of a volcano. The blade alone was not enough, though. Yang Dingtian was safe where he was standing, but he had no way of going up. If anything, the lava was slipping downward. Its level was also raising, which meant that the Night Owl Strange Blade, along with Yang Dingtian, would eventually be engulfed if nothing was done. Right now, there was still about a kilometer before Yang Dingtian could reach the top of the volcano. He could almost see the Fire Cloud Devil Cave now, and it was no time to give up yet. There had to be a fast way for him to reach the top of the volcano. The weird thing was, there wasnt any lava at the top of the volcano. It was just a flat, dark area that Yang Dingtian could walk on. Unfortunately, Yang Dingtian did not have two Night Owl Strange Blades. If he did, he couldve simply used them as shoes to reach the top. But even if he did, there was no way that he couldve stopped the rising lava. Thats it... Yang Dingtian opened his storage ring. He apparently had a new idea. Out of the many treasures and pills that Ning Ning had put in the ring of the storage, one of them was the Water Immunity Pearl. The Water Immunity Pearl was a rather simple item. Its sole function was to store a large amount of water into just one tiny pill. In the pearl that Yang Dingtian currently held, which was about three centimeters in diameter, there were about several hundred grams of water concentration stored in it. Once a Water Immunity Pearl was thrown into the lava, the water inside would instantly vaporize and cause an explosion, which would theoretically produce enough leverage to shoot something off over a very long distance. In other words, its like an improvised version of the steam bomb, like you would see in the modern military. The power of the explosion, of course, would be very strong. The heat involved would also kill any regular human being. Well, thats normally the case. Yang Dingtian could definitely take the hit. Not only was his physical body stronger than just a normal human, but he was also covering his whole body with protection gears. After some consideration, Yang Dingtian took out the Water Immunity Pearl and threw it directly beneath him. Poof. As soon as Yang Dingtian threw the Water Immunity Pearl onto the ground, steam spurted out of it and pushed him several hundred meters above where he was. Before Yang Dingtian was about to make a landing, he took out another Water Immunity Pearl and threw it where he was about to fall. Poof. And Yang Dingtian was able to fly himself over for another couple hundred meters. ... Poof. By the time he had used up the fourth water concentration pearl, Yang Dingtian knew he was out of trouble. Dong. As luck and wit had it, he landed right at the top of the volcano. Almost there... Yang Dingtian almost cried out. If it werent for the Water Immunity Pearl that Ning Ning gave him, he wouldve been forced to use the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl before getting drowned in lava. However, only a more dangerous challenge awaited Yang Dingtian down here, right inside the Fire Cloud Devil Cave, which was about ten thousand meters underground. Thats right. The Fire Cloud Devil Cave was located at an altitude of ten thousand meters underground. If Yang Dingtian wanted to enter the Fire Cloud Devil Cave, he had to descend an extra twenty thousand meters, while countering the direct attack of the Heaven Flame Phoenix the whole journey. And how powerful was the direct attack of a Heaven Flame Phoenix? For perspective, just look at the indirect attack it released just then. If the Phoenix could melt half of a volcano without really moving its body, imagine what it could do when it was really trying to kill something. Whatever it was capable of doing, not even a grandmaster could handle it. This was when the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl came in handy. Just when Yang Dingtian was about to take out the pearl from his ring, cold sweat started running off his back. Aw no. Cant get rid of her, can I... Yang Dingtian moaned in agony, then slowly turned towards the figure behind him. That familiar face and body. There was no doubt about it. The beautiful, cold Dugu Fengu! Dugu Fengu was still wearing the same sexy outfit that belonged to Go Sun San Niang, but she was definitely in her original form now. Yang Dingtian was starting to remember the things he had done to Dugu Fengu just a few days ago. Spanking. Face twisting. Come to think of it, he was digging his own grave with some very bad decisions. Realizing that he had nobody but himself to turn to, more and more sweat started to flow from Yang Dingtians back. Go on. Take out the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. Im curious about where you hid it, Dugu Fengu said coldly. As though begging to the gods, Yang Dingtian raised his head to the sky before making a response. Wha- When did you get here? I thought youre supposed to be passed out, he asked miserably. Please, Ive been here for more than a day, Dugu Fengu said, I was at the top of the volcano when you landed on this island. And youre asking me why I havent passed out? Dugu Fengu tried to speak slower to calm herself down, I regained my mystic qi soon after you had left me that day. Oh, you have no idea how badly I wanted to crush you with my hand right away back then, but Im going to contain myself until you give me the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. Tell me now. The Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl is on you, isnt it? Nothing less of a Demon Woman. Impressive, Yang Dingtian tried to stay calm, Youre right, I have the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, but to give it to you? In your dreams... Dugu Fengu smiled, The grade nine inferno is about to blossom in just two hours. Youd have to take out the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl at some point, am I right? If you dont, you cant make your little sword and kill Ximen Ju. You think Im stupid enough to take the pearl out now? Its suicide if I do, Yang Dingtian smiled too. Dugu Fengu replied, Well, I dont need you to take it out. I said I would shred you into pieces, remember? The pearl has to be somewhere on you, so Ill just figure out which piece of you that has it. Oh? Really? Yang Dingtian opened his arms and taunted, Please, go on then! Ill call you my grandma if you can find the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl on me. Shred me into pieces, was it? Go on! Do it, and Im your grandson. Oh no, Ill be your granddaughter... s?a??h th? ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian didnt have to say it. By the time Dugu Fengu approached him, she was already trying to sense traces of the pearl with her eyes. She had expected it to be easy because a treasured item would usually emit some kind of essence. However, to Dugu Fengus surprise, she really couldnt find the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl anywhere on Yang Dingtian. Because of the angle and the distance between her and Yang Dingtian, Dugu Fengu didnt see it when Yang Dingtian took out the pearl from his ring of storage. Fine. You win, Yang Dingtian, Dugu Fengu said, If you hand the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl to me, I cant promise that Ill let you go, but I swear Ill spare you life. And how about this? If you hand me the pearl now, Ill help you kill Ximen Ju and take back the Cloud Heaven City for you. Thanks, but no thanks, Yang Dingtian turned down the offer immediately, Ximen Ju is mine to kill, and the Cloud Heaven City is mine to take back. Come on, demon woman. After knowing me for so long, is this really the best deal you can offer me? From the way she was breathing so roughly now, Dugu Fengu was definitely pissed off now. For all the years she had lived through, she mustve never had been so humiliated and angered as she had in the past few days. Dugu Fengu said while trying not to yell, I suppose we can see who can hold longer, then. There is only about two hours before the grade nine inferno blossoms. Well see how long you can take before you use the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. By the way, once the two hours are over, Ill still kill you even if you decide to give me the pearl. Having made up her mind, Dugu Fengu sat down and got into a meditating posture. Her eyes were closed, but her attention was fixed at Yang Dingtians every movement. Yang Dingtian, on the other hand, was looking at Dugu Fengus buttt and thighs. Because of how tight and bare Go Sun San Niangs outfit was, it looked like Dugu Fengus bottom could burst through the fabrics at any moment. Your butt is showing, Yang Dingtian said in an obnoxiously perverted kind of way, but Dugu Fengu simply ignored him. Seeing that there wasnt much else to do, Yang Dingtian decided to sit as well. He knew that if he tried to do anything, Dugu Fengu wouldve stopped him in an instance. Whatever. Doing nothing was the best move here. Right now, it was a competition of endurance, and Yang Dingtian must wait for an opportunity to come to him. ... Ten minutes. Twenty minutes. Thirty minutes. An hour. Even though there was a little less than an hour before the grade nine inferno was about to appear, both Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengu didnt move whatsoever. They were waiting for the other to make a move. Half an hour left before the grade nine inferno finally blossomed. There really wasnt much time to spare. It was no easy task to find the tiny flame Yang Dingtian was looking for, especially when it was inside such a big cave. ... After meditating for a while, Dugu Fengu suddenly opened her eyes. She was losing her patience here. What a stubborn man you are, Yang Dingtian, Dugu Fengu smiled, Alright then, lets see if youll take out the pearl if I throw you down here. After saying that, Dugu Fengu immediately grabbed onto Yang Dingtians neck and threw him down the volcano. Chapter 164: Saved Your Life! Chapter 164: Saved Your Life!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Right after she said it, Dugu Fengwu grabbed Yang Dingtian by his neck and threw him straight into the volcano. Yang Dingtian had to react fast. Now that he was in free-fall straight into the Fire Cloud Devil Cave, he should be ready for an attack from the Heaven Flame Phoenix at any time. S?a??h th? N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. If he decided to guard himself with the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, Dugu Fengwu could just use her mystic qi and take it away from him, even though there were several hundred meters of distance between them. Dugu Fengwu knew it too, which was why her eyes were completely locked onto Yang Dingtian since the moment she threw him down. The mystic qi that she controlled could suck the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl into her hand the moment Yang Dingtian took it out. That was her plan, at least, but that was not what actually happened. Instead, Yang Dingtian just kept on falling and falling and falling. Ten meters. A hundred meters. One kilometer. Even after so long, Yang Dingtian still did not take out the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. He would rather have himself killed by the Heaven Flame Phoenix than to let Dugu Fengwu steal it from him. Watching as Yang Dingtian became a microscopic dot in her sight, Dugu Fengwu was getting shocked and anxious. She didnt think that this fool would rather kill himself than to let her have her way. Two kilometers. A little more distance and Yang Dingtian wouldve been about 2.5 kilometers away from Dugu Fengwu, which was the maximum range from which she could reach him with her mystic qi. Within a short amount of time, Yang Dingtian had already fallen way below 2.5 kilometers from Dugu Fengwu. It meant that Yang Dingtian was no longer the only one who had to think hard. If Dugu Fengwu were to do nothing now, Yang Dingtian would escape from her range, and use the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl to make his way into the Fire Cloud Devil Cave. There was no way that Dugu Fengwu would allow that. So, she decided to jump down the volcano too! After hesitating for just a few seconds, Dugu Fengwu moved her qi around and, like a bright red shooting star, made a dive towards where Yang Dingtian was heading. Even though Yang Dingtian was falling faster with every passing second, it didnt take much time at all for Dugu Fengwu to catch up to him. In fact, she was already less than a hundred meters away from him. However, just when Dugu Fengwu was about to extend her arm forward, a bright light suddenly surrounded the darkness that was around her, making her unable to see or think. You wouldnt expect this kind of brightness on Earth. If anything, its the kind of destructive, blinding light that should only be seen near the surface of the sun. Not just Yang Dingtian, even Dugu Fengwu, was having trouble opening her eyes. Followed by this change of vision, a loud cry channeled through the volcano, at the same time, shaking everything that it had reached. Boom. Eventually, a fireball, one with the magnitude of a nuclear bomb, came bursting upward towards the sky. It was the Heaven Flame Phoenix, the thousand-year-old king of this volcano. Since Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwu had intruded its home, it was now disturbed enough to take serious actions in retaliation. Sensing the immense energy emerging beneath him, Yang Dingtian took out the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl and put it in his mouth as fast as he could. However, despite his superhuman reflex, and how far the Heaven Flame Phoenix was away from him, Yang Dingtian was already starting to feel like he was on the verge of death. It was his soul, his blood, his body. His everything, basically. He could feel himself instantaneously breaking down and crumbling away into nothingness the moment he felt the heat coming at him. There was less than a single second between Yang Dingtian and his inevitable death. He had survived the palm of Zhu Hongxue with his Nine Yang Mystic Meridians before, but that was nothing against the attacks of a Heaven Flame Phoenix. Yang Dingtian really felt like an ant right now. The power he was facing was way too powerful, so much so that he couldnt even feel pain before being crushed by it. That was the case until he took the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl into his mouth. The moment the pearl entered his mouth, Yang Dingtian felt a cold sensation around his entire body. It was an odd feeling; Yang Dingtian had never felt anything so cold before, but it was not at all painful nor uncomfortable in any way. Within a split second, the pearls power had separated Yang Dingtian from the attack of the Heaven Flame Phoenix. It was also at this moment that Yang Dingtian had regained his sense of sight. He could see it. Dugu Fengwu was just beside him, trying to snatch the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl away from him. Yet, as the Heaven Flame Phoenix had just released its terrifying attacks, it was almost like time itself froze and made it impossible to even lift a finger, like when the flashlight turned on right before a photo was taken. Like a ripe, blooming flower amid the day, Dugu Fengwus unmatched beauty was in full display at this very moment. Well, that was at least before the light became too bright to see anything. It appeared that this kind of glamour would not last very long. As a much stronger being than Yang Dingtian, Dugu Fengwu could still guard herself with her mystic qi. Whether she could survive this, however, was not even worthy of a debate. Not even a mystic grandmaster could guard against the divine flames of a Heaven Flame Phoenix. Once the attacks had made contact with Dugu Fengwu, it wouldve swallowed her and made her disappear in the blink of an eye. And why couldnt she guard against it? Simple. If a human could live for only about a hundred years at best, how was it supposed to match a monster that could train for centuries without aging? Speaking of which, the fire of the Heaven Flame Phoenix was really something. Throughout his whole life, Yang Dingtian had never seen a fire that resembled the color of blood so much. The fire was starting to rise closer and closer towards Yang Dingtian. And at the same time, there was about half a second before Dugu Fengwu disintegrated into tiny particles of herself. Dugu Xiao might be a great Mystic Martial Master and a villain feared by the entire world, but even he couldnt save his daughter now. Actually, nobody except Yang Dingtian could save Dugu Fengwu at this very moment. That being said, Dugu Fengwu was somebody who was after Yang Dingtians throat this entire time. She had been a pain to him ever since the moment they had met and even threw him down the volcano just then, with no other reason but to steal the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl away from him. In summary, Dugu Fengwu didnt care about Yang Dingtians life. This was about as obvious as it could get. And if that was the case, should Yang Dingtian save her life? If Yang Dingtian didnt save Dugu Fengwu, she would die here. What if he saved her? But why? Yang Dingtian couldnt find any reason to. I dont really care about her... Yang Dingtian looked away for a bit. As though starving to engulf the world and all that was in it, the raging flame quickly rushed over Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwu, at the same time, surrounded them like the violent tides during a storm. ****************** With his arms wrapped around Dugu Fengwus slender waist, Yang Dingtian pressed his lips as tightly as he could against her lips, at the same time sharing the energy of the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl with her. The gigantic streaks of flames, which had now gone over Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwu, were now rushing out of the Fire Cloud Devil Cave and made their way into the sky. What was happening now looked like a volcano eruption, but it was actually something entirely different. The whole volcano, from top to bottom, was melting into glowing red lava. Yang Dingtian knew he regretted it the moment he bit onto Dugu Fengwus lips. Even after telling himself so many times, he still decided to rescue Dugu Fengwu. Why? Was Yang Dingtian too soft to see a life lost in front of him? Thats definitely not the case, especially when he himself had committed many murders before. Logically speaking, there was only one reason that Yang Dingtian would save Dugu Fengwus life here, and that was because she had a pretty face. That being said, Yang Dingtian didnt like Dugu Fengwus personality. He thought that her personality was essentially as bad as it could get, which was why he would never want to be in a relationship with her. So why, then? It wasnt like Yang Dingtian had the time to flirt around, either. His priority now was to become stronger and take back the Cloud Heaven City. He needed to rescue Yanyan from the Sea of Hades. So, with all that in mind, maybe, Yang Dingtian just didnt want to see a living girl, especially a beautiful one, getting evaporated by a bird. Yeah, that was probably about it. With the power of the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, Yang Dingtian had now traveled ten kilometers through the streak of flames targeted at him. The Heaven Flame Phoenix was now in Yang Dingtians sight. However, to his surprise, it was kind of hard to recognize it as the proud creature that it was. Unexpectedly, the Heaven Flame Phoenix in front of him was an injured one, tied up in chains with wounds and raging flames all around its body, which was bigger than even that of a modern aircraft carrier. Judging from how it was trapped inside the volcano, it was almost like the poor beast had been in this state for at least a whole millennium. But who, or what, possessed the power to hold prisoner such a world-shaking monster like it? Not that it mattered now. Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwu were still falling down the volcano. About ten kilometers down. As they had escaped the fire attack of the Heaven Flame Phoenix, Yang Dingtian found himself surrounded by darkness once again. Suddenly, Yang Dingtian felt a slight movement in his arms. It was Dugu Fengwu. No need to thank me. I was the stupid one who saved you... Yang Dingtian said after he moved his lips away from her. Before Yang Dingtian even finished talking, a quick slap from Dugu Fengwu went across his face and knocked him unconscious. She clearly had no intention to show any gratitude. You demon woman... Yang Dingtian said before he passed out. *********************** It didnt take much time before Yang Dingtian had come to his senses. By the time he woke up, he had found himself lying on a flat, solid surface and surrounded by complete darkness. Wheres the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer? Give it to me, or Ill tear you into pieces, Dugu Fengwu commanded. Ah, Demon Woman, Yang Dingtian smiled after blinking for a few times, Not even a harlot would be as cold as you. Did I ask you to save my life? Dugu Fengwu replied in the exact same way as that time at Inferno Island. It was much more irritating to hear that now, however. And where did you hide the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl before? Dugu Fengwu continued her interrogation. I hid it in my bum. How does that make you feel? Yang Dingtian replied. He had to tell because half of the pearl went inside Dugu Fengwus mouth. Gross, but not that it matters, Dugu Fengwu said calmly, So, where did you put the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer then? You cant fit it in your ..., am I right? Yang Dingtian was speechless. Instead of replying, he got up from the ground and revealed a night-shining pearl out of his pocket. While the light of this pearl was not strong, it was bright enough to spread out in every direction of this area. Now, good news and bad news. The good news was that there was no maze or any kind of secret passageways around here. The bad news? This place was massive, like massive, more massive than massive. It took about several minutes of free-fall to get down here. And after somebody had finally made their landing, if they could make it, the first thing they would find would be that there was nothing but the abyss waiting around them. Yang Dingtian was at the bottom of the Earth. He knew that well enough, but it was still hard not to feel like he was in the middle of space, where everything around him was so dark and expanding on infinitely. The ground Yang Dingtian was standing on now was a giant round plate, which had a diameter of around twenty-something meters. This compass, which was floating in the air, was what caught him and Dugu Fengwu. Okay, that was weird, but where the hell was the grade nine inferno? Chapter 165: Sword Forging! Demon Woman’s Shock Chapter 165: Sword Forging! Demon Womans ShockTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales You found the inferno yet? Yang Dingtian asked. No, Dugu Fengwu replied. So, how long before it blossoms? Asked Yang Dingtian. For which, Dugu Fengwu replied, Soon, I suppose. Absolutely nothing was happening around them. S~?a??h the N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Do we have to keep going down? Yang Dingtian kept on asking. If you want to, sure. Just give me to Mystic Fire Devil Hammer first, Dugu Fengwu said coldly. Yang Dingtian was free to do whatever he wanted, but there was no way she was going to jump down any further. Whatever was down there, she knew it was much more dangerous than the Heaven Flame Phoenix above. There is nothing here! You cant find the grade nine inferno here! Yang Dingtian exclaimed, but Dugu Fengwu didnt answer. Instead, she suddenly grabbed onto him and flew several meters above the ground. Dugu Fengwu pointed forward and asked, Do you see that spot on which you were lying just then? What does it look like to you? Yang Dingtian opened his eyes as wide as he could. It looked like a candle-stand, a candle-stand with the shape of a circle. Was that the natural base of the grade nine inferno? Just when Yang Dingtian was about to express his skepticism, a green flame suddenly appeared on top of the candle stand. It was a very beautiful flame. It seemed very delicate, vivid, and mysterious. So the grade nine inferno was here after all! Yang Dingtian was exhilarated as he watched this tiny fire grew taller and taller. Contradictory as it sounded, it was like the grade nine inferno was made out of ice. There wasnt any heat coming out of it, despite the overwhelming energy that Yang Dingtian could sense. Even the Heaven Flame Phoenix, which was miles above Yang Dingtian, turned silent after the grade nine inferno became active for the first time in a very long time. A few minutes had passed. By the time the inferno was about five cun tall, its colors had shifted from green to blue. (NOTE: 1 cun = ~3.33 cm.) It was said the grade nine inferno would fully mature when it would grow to one Chinese foot. Then, after it had reached that state, it would only take less than twenty minutes before it vanished away. It meant Yang Dingtian just had twenty minutes to craft his youngling sword. (NOTE: 1 Chinese foot = 10 cun.) One minute. Two minutes. Three minutes. As the grade nine inferno grew bigger and bigger, its color gradually changed from blue to yellow, and then it became a sort of light reddish tone. After that, it was a darker tone of red, which eventually ended with the color purple. Seeing that the grade nine inferno was about eight cun tall now, both Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwu couldnt help but hold their own breaths. Phew. With no wind blowing anywhere nearby, the grade nine inferno somehow moved for a bit before rising to about one Chinese foot tall, while shifting into a much darker tone of purple. This had to be it. The grade nine inferno had just fully matured and was now blossoming like a ripe flower. Actually, mere flower was not enough to describe how beautiful and breathtaking this phenomenon was. As if it had a soul of its own, this spark of flame was dancing in its own gentle rhythm, spreading messages of joy to whoever blessed enough to have witnessed its birth. Thats right. It was more of a living creature than a simple element. A rare, unworldly specimen that was not acknowledged by the common man. ****************** The hammer... It seemed like Dugu Fengwu was too focused on the grade nine inferno. She wasnt even looking at Yang Dingtian when she was asking for the hammer. As for Yang Dingtian, he didnt really have a reason to say no at this point, but he also didnt want to let Dugu Fengwu know about his storage ring. So, while pretending that he really hid the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer inside his butt, Yang Dingtian reached behind him and fake-groaned for a bit before handing it over to her. Obviously, Dugu Fengwu was a bit skeptic to see this. She already knew that Yang Dingtian didnt put anything inside his body, but it wasnt like she was going to ask too many questions. The important thing was to harvest the grade nine inferno while she still could. After she got the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer, Dugu Fengwu quickly reached for a box from her backpack. She then opened it and dropped several pieces of blood black gold on top of the grade nine inferno. Dugu Fengwu was very fast at it. Within an instance, those pieces of the blood black gold were piled on together, essentially forming a pyramid that sat right on top of the grade nine inferno. Technically, ninety-nine pieces of blood black gold was an overkill. With this much raw material, Dugu Fengwu could even make a complete youngling sword for herself. But to use it all to craft a youngling sword? Just how strong would that sword be once it leveled up? Youd have used at least several hundred pieces of blood black gold by then, and there was no telling how long that would take. Im actually pretty slow at this. It took about two years for your wife-to-be to make her own youngling sword, Dugu Fengwu said. She sounded almost like she was boasting about her results. Despite its resistance against any kind of fire, the blood black gold pieces were starting to change their color from purple to glowing red, which made them look like they had just been mined from the underground. After the blood black gold pieces became extremely red, they started to melt. Then, after three minutes had passed, all forty-five pieces of them became a pile of liquified metal. Despite being completely squashed just then, the grade nine inferno was now standing vividly amidst the pile of melted gold. It was like a candle that was still burning even though the wax was no longer solid. This whole place didnt feel hot when the inferno had just blossomed, but the blood black gold pieces made it a burning furnace as soon as they started to burn down. Dugu Fengwu wasnt thirty meters away from the inferno for no reason. With two of her fingers lined together, Dugu Fengwu directed her mystic qi and shaped the liquified metal into a giant sword base, which would have to be polished many times before it was reduced into a usable weapon. There was still much work to do. The sword base was about 500 kilograms in weight, two meters long, five cun wide, and three cun tall. As there were still a lot of impure materials inside of it, Dugu Fengwu must use the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer to chip out any unnecessary parts. The youngling sword should be complete after the hammering was complete. While using one hand to lift the liquified metal in the air, while shaping it into a base, Dugu Fengwu raised the hammer with another hand and began injecting her mystic qi into it. With Dugu Fengwu activating it, the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer started to glow red, at the same time, it started sending off a very powerful vibe. As the hammer could not shine any brighter, Dugu Fengwu began letting it slide out of her hand and began lifting it in the air with her mystic qi. The hammer then started drifting towards the melted sword base. Just as it hovered to the top of the sword base, the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer was raised up even higher before it was dropped heavily onto the thing below. To provide a picture of what was happening, Dugu Fengwu was standing very far from the hammer and the sword base, yet still had a firm grasp of them with her extended qi. The movement she was making was not that different from an ordinary blacksmith, just holding the sword and banging it many times over. Boom. After a loud first hit, tiny pieces of the sword base began shattering out and were instantaneously disintegrated by the grade nine inferno below. Ting ting ting ting ting. With her right hand controlling the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer, Dugu Fengwu started hammering the sword base in a much faster, and unbelievably fast rhythm. If Yang Dingtian had to give an estimate, it was about several tens of swings in each second. With every swing of the hammer, countless sparks jumped out like fireworks and kept flashing and disappearing in a very rapid motion. Yang Dingtian was dumbfounded by what he was seeing. In fact, anybody would be. A hot woman in her early twenties, who was wearing some very traditional yet revealing clothing, was repetitively bashing a piece of metal with a hammer thicker than her wrist. Like how do you not get dumbfounded by that? Especially those breasts. Dugu Fengwus outfit was already too tight for her, but those movements she was doing made it seem like something was just about to burst out. Something, like, you know, two big white rabbits. And, speaking of which, the back was just as fun to watch. Those bums bouncing up and down could make any man lose control. That being said, Yang Dingtian didnt have any time to enjoy the spectacle that was right in front of him. He just realized he couldnt use the same method as Dugu Fengwu. In other words, he couldnt; first C shape the blood black gold into a sword base like her. Second, lift the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer with his qi and activate it. There was also no way he could swing the hammer as fast as Dugu Fengwu could. Well crap. But it wasnt like anybody gave Yang Dingtian any instructions. Dongfang Niemie wouldve told him what to do in a situation like this, but her soul was in temporary rest right now. While Yang Dingtian still had no idea what he was going to do, Dugu Fengwu had already made thousands of strikes with the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer. It could even be said that the space around them was lightened up because of how much she was swinging. Gradually, at a visible speed, Yang Dingtian could clearly see the base becoming smaller and more defined. Two minutes. Three minutes. Five minutes. Judging from how red Dugu Fengwus face was, it was obvious that she was using all of her strength to craft this youngling sword. In just a few minutes, Dugu Fengwu had already made ten thousand swings with the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer. Even a master such as herself was drenched in sweat, and thats saying a lot since masters dont usually sweat at all. Ting ting ting ting ting. As the final minute came, Dugu Fengwu was starting to swing even faster than she already was. She was clearly going for a final push before her time was up. Tingtingtingtingtingtingtingtintingtingting... From Yang Dingtians view, he couldnt even see the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer anymore. Dugu Fengwu was swinging it so fast that it just became this fireball-like object that was making streaks of firework in the air. One minute was over. To deliver the finishing touch, Dugu Fengwu opened her mouth and spat out a tiny blood arrow onto the youngling sword. Then, with another hit of the hammer, she had finally called an end to her craft. It seemed like Dugu Fengwu really used up all her strength. From the way she was barely standing up straight, Yang Dingtian made the presumption that he wouldnt want to be interrupted while crafting his youngling sword. Followed by a sigh of relief, Dugu Fengwu grabbed her finished sword with her mystic qi and made it fly into her hand. To be honest, this weapon did not look like a youngling sword at all. The sharpness and fineness of it were already superior to the most weapons in this world, and there was no telling how invincible it would be when it actually becomes a youngling sword. In other words, this was a once-in-a-century item, something that was already so brilliant before its limitless potential was even cultivated. Lets see... Dugu Fengwu raised her youngling sword in excitement, So this weighs about 65 kilograms, and contains about 25 percent of mystic qi enchantment bonus! This thing was overpowered. There was no other way to describe it. One hundred kilograms was already, like, excellent for a youngling sword made of this much blood black gold, but thanks to Dugu Fengwus craftswomanship, she was able to refine it to an even more ridiculous 65 kilogram. And forget about the 25% enchantment bonus. This youngling sword was literally godlike compared to most weapons in this world. So thats how powerful a youngling sword was. Even during its youngling sword phase, its potential was already on a completely different level to that of an ordinary weapon. Your turn, Dugu Fengwu said as she threw the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer back to Yang Dingtian. She was clearly looking forward to seeing him make a clown of himself. Yang Dingtian was a grade six Mystic Martial Artist. Someone at his level shouldnt even have his own youngling sword, let alone coming here to craft one. Also, since Dugu Fengwu didnt see any blood black gold on Yang Dingtian, she assumed that he just didnt have much of the raw material needed to make the youngling sword. With little time left for the grade nine inferno to last, Yang Dingtian quickly went over to it, and while his back was facing Dugu Fengwu, he took out all forty-five pieces of blood black gold from his storage ring and let them drop onto the flame. After that, Yang Dingtian quickly withdrew his distance from it and readied the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer. Watching as Yang Dingtian waited for the gold to melt, an astounded look started to emerge on Dugu Fengwus face. She was already very confused about where Yang Dingtian had hidden all his stuff, but those blood black gold pieces were raising even more question marks in her mind. First of all, the pieces Yang Dingtian had were all at least ten thousand years old and were in much higher quality than the ones Dugu Fengwu used. And then there was the quantity of it. Just how in the world did he get 45 pieces of blood black gold, which are all at least ten thousand years old? Yang Dingtian wouldve gotten some blood black gold from Ximen Wuya, but even then, the most he couldve got was probably nine pieces. But forty-five? And they were all at least ten thousand years old? This was just all too unfathomable, too unheard of to Dugu Fengwu. Yang Dingtian, on the other hand, didnt care what Dugu Fengwus reaction was. He was too anxious about the fact that his blood black gold hadnt melted yet. Two more minutes had gone by, but the gold was only starting to turn red for a bit. Three more minutes. By this time, all forty-five pieces were melted, but they were still in a semi-fluid state, instead of being in complete liquid form like the gold Dugu Fengwu brought. What was even more bizarre was that, while Dugu Fengwus blood black gold pieces were very hot when they started melting, it wasnt at all the same for the ones Yang Dingtian had brought. In fact, it was still at room temperature as Yang Dingtian was about ten meters away from the grade nine inferno. There were only about two minutes before the grade nine inferno was gone. Yang Dingtian really couldnt wait any longer. Despite how impossible it seemed, he must walk over to the grade nine inferno and swing the hammer with his bare hand. Swish. The moment Yang Dingtian injected his mystic qi into the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer, a bright light came out of the hammer and lit up the whole area. However, in contrast to when Dugu Fengwu did it, the glow was distinctively much brighter and more powerful this time. Just what in the world was happening here? Dugu Fengwu wasnt sure why the hammer reacted stronger to Yang Dingtian than to her. If they were to compare their mystic qi, Dugu Fengwu was definitely the one with the upper hand here. Was the difference in their meridian the key factor here, then? Ignoring the envious look behind him, Yang Dingtian ran towards the pile of blood black gold in front of him. It was now his turn to begin the hammering process. Ting. After the initial strike with the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer, tiny gold sparks flew out of the sword base and spread throughout the area. It was like a light show, like watching the explosion of a star amidst the dark sky. Yang Dingtian was a bit afraid to get hurt by this, but it seemed that they wouldnt last very long at all. Ting Ting! Yang Dingtian was hitting as fast he could, but he was nowhere as fast as Dugu Fengwu was. The most he could swing in one second was about seven to eight times. The remaining two minutes were gone very quickly. The inferno was starting to shrink. There was not even a millisecond for Yang Dingtian to spare. Ting ting ting ting. Yang Dingtian didnt even care about his posture now. He was just swinging the hammer for the sake of swinging it. It was the only thing he was focusing on. As the grade nine inferno became smaller and smaller, its color was also becoming brighter and brighter. Yang Dingtians sword base, on the other hand, was becoming harder and darker by the seconds. The blood black gold was solidifying. If Yang Dingtian couldnt mark his blood on it before it was completely cooled down, then all the previous work would be for naught. A hundred more. Come on; one hundred is not a lot... Unsatisfied with his work, Yang Dingtian pushed as hard as he could for another rally of swings. Twenty... Thirty... Fifty... Like a candle that would go off at any moment, the grade nine inferno was becoming almost invisible now. Anybody could probably just blow it and make it extinguish. By now, the youngling sword was almost completely solidified. Yang Dingtian was still going. Eighty... Ninety... One hundred... Oof... Having bit into his own tongue, Yang Dingtian spat out a mouthful of blood onto the sword base and the grade nine inferno underneath. He had officially claimed ownership into this weapon he was crafting. Poof. As some of the blood spilled out, the grade nine inferno suddenly shot up into the air before it finally faded out. Then, after moving around for a bit, it shrank back into the ground and was never seen again. Yang Dingtian was exhausted. With no strength in his legs, he just collapsed on the ground and lost consciousness right there. ********************** Youre not even going to look at your own youngling sword? Dugu Fengwu asked as she lit up the area with her mystic qi. With his legs too weak to stand upright, Yang Dingtian had to slowly drag himself towards his youngling sword before picking it up. Oh my- ha, ha, ha, ha! After laying her eyes on Yang Dingtians masterpiece, Dugu Fengwu was laughing so hard that her stomach was starting to hurt. Yang Dingtian, on the other hand, was getting a bit teary. Was t-this a sword? It looked more like a stick, or a pitch dark staff that remained after a bushfire. Alright, call it a staff then, but it wasnt even a good staff. The texture of it was rough, and the shape of it was bent in such an irregular pattern. And it was heavy, too. Just by holding onto it, Yang Dingtian could estimate that this staff was weighed at about 150 kilograms, which was twice more than Dugu Fengwus youngling sword. However, with all that being said, and as much as he would like to call fail on himself, Yang Dingtian couldnt help but feel something strange when he was holding onto this staff. Yes. It was a very strange feeling. It was warm, unique, and mysteriously comfortable, too. There was a living soul inside this staff, and while it was incapable of expressing itself, Yang Dingtian could easily tell how eager it was to bond with him. This staff, whatever shape it had, was suddenly starting to look kind of cute. It was, after all, something Yang Dingtian had made himself. It was like a child to him. Alright, I guess youre it. Youll be the weapon I use for the rest of my life. Nothings going separate us, okay? As soon as Yang Dingtian had said that, he could feel a vigorous movement inside his staff, dancing joyously in response to his proposal. Your youngling sword. Let me have a look at it, Dugu Fengwu demanded, to which Yang Dingtian complied despite being a little bit reluctant. Dugu Fengwus reaction next was very bizarre, to say the least. What? Dugu Fengwu gasped as soon as she took over the staff, How could this be? Yang Dingtian, are you the illegitimate son of the heavens? Chapter 166: Peerless Youngling Sword!Land of Profundity Chapter 166: Peerless Youngling Sword!Land of ProfundityTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales How? Dugu Fengwu gasped, I can feel this youngling sword trying to reject me, like a baby trying to kick away a stranger! But how? How did it have a divine conscience when it was just a youngling sword? Throughout the last millennium, there hasnt been a single youngling sword with a divine conscience of its own. Most youngling swords would only attain a will of its own until it matured, and even then, their soul would still be in relatively unstable forms. Whatever Yang Dingtian created, it was the first of its kind. Dugu Fengwu tried inserting her own mystic qi again. Bang. She was rejected once again, but this time, the mystic qi she inserted was pushed back to her in much larger quantity, at about 40% more than the amount she released. With the staff-like youngling sword still in her hands, Dugu Fengwu widened her pretty eyes in disbelief. She then said in a tone that was slower and more modest than her usual self. Yang Dingtian, your youngling sword weighs 195 kilograms, and its mystic qi enchantment bonus is th-thirty nine percent... Thirty-nine? Is it that high? Yang Dingtian clapped his hands together. Even an amateur like him knew how ridiculous that number was. Yeah, its that high, Dugu Fengwu said, And despite how heavy your youngling sword is, it still has a much purer concentration of blood black gold than my piece. Its only fair to say that Im better at crafting, but it seems that what really counts is the quality of the materials you bring. Then, as she drew closer to Yang Dingtian, Dugu Fengwu continued with an intense stare right at him. You better watch yourself out, Yang Dingtian. I wanted to kill you so much already, and now youve made a youngling sword thats way stronger than mine. I wasnt joking when I asked if you have any connections with the gods. Tell me something. I have never taught you how to really use the Hidden Sects sword art, so how did you figure it out yourself? You are a six star Mystic Martial Artist, but youve made a youngling sword with a divine conscience just now. Without saying anything, all Yang Dingtian did in response was to smile at Dugu Fengwu. From his perspective, none of his achievements were as strange as they might appear to others. They were all just results of countless sacrifices done behind the scene. This is a legendary youngling sword, Yang Dingtian, Dugu Fengwu said as she returned the staff, It is repulsive, but it is a legendary weapon, something clearly even better than what Ive made! As the staff was returned to him, Yang Dingtian grabbed firmly onto it, and he felt a strong sense of joy from the bottom of his heart. This youngling sword was ugly, yes, and so was it heavy. One hundred fifty kilograms was nothing if Yang Dingtian was just trying to hold onto it, but he couldnt really use the Pig Slaying Sword Art now. In fact, all his sword technique would be four to five times slower than it used to be. If Yang Dingtian couldnt level up his power and mystic qi, it wouldnt matter how good his weapon was. He wouldnt be able to lift it anyway. By speaking of which, the step after making a youngling sword was to make it into a soul sword. To do that, Yang Dingtian needed to shape his own core flame first, and then attain more blood black gold pieces, which would be many times over than the amount he had used just then. (Editors Note: Soul Sword is the matured version of Youngling Sword.) For shaping his core flame, Yang Dingtian would try to find and use a Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame. For getting more ten-thousand-years-old blood black gold pieces, Yang Dingtian would head to an abandoned mine within the Qin family territory, which would be on the other side of the Never Freezing Lake in the northwest region. If he could successfully kill the powerful guardian inside the mine, there would be around 900 pieces of high-quality metal for him to claim. Finally, after combining his Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame and the 900 pieces of blood black gold, Yang Dingtian would have a complete soul sword, something so splendid that it would belong only to a king! Lets get out this place, Dugu Fengwu said, Give me another Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. Well share it like last time, and Ill fly you out of here with me. After that, I dont owe you anything, got it? Yang Dingtian shook his head. Dugu Fengwu twitched her eye for a bit, What is it this time? Dont try to annoy me. Id rather not to, but I can break your youngling sword in half. About the pearl, um, Yang Dingtian scratched his head, Theres none of it left. It melted in my... I mean, our mouths. What? Dugu Fengwu couldnt believe what she heard, It melted? Yeah, it disappeared because weve used up all of its chilling energy, Yang Dingtian replied, It had enough energy for me to go back, but I decided to use that energy to save your life. Dugu Fengwu was becoming very unfriendly now, So you want me to thank you? Yang Dingtian didnt answer. What schemes are you plotting this time? Dugu Fengwu glared. Yang Dingtian was suddenly shouting, None! Hell, none! Why would I save you if Im plotting anything? The air turned silent. Are we actually stuck here? Yang Dingtian asked after a while. How about you try climbing your way up? Try letting the Heaven Flame Phoenix breath on you. Maybe youll survive and find your way home. Did your parents ever educate you properly? Yang Dingtian said coldly, Is it that fun to cuss at people every time you talk to them? Dont talk to me if you dont like the way I talk, Dugu Fengwu stared back. Whats with you and men? Yang Dingtian said. Nothing, Dugu Fengwu replied, I just dont like them. I hate women even more. But if theres anyone whom Ive anything with, its you, Yang Dingtian. You sullied me before, and that makes you my number one target. As strong as the word sullied was, Yang Dingtian had already grown numb towards it, which was why he had no problem with just changing the topic of the conversation. Yang Dingtian smiled, So, you dont like men, and you dont like women. What do you like then? Do you like anyone? I like myself, how about that? Dugu Fengwu smiled, but in a condescending and arrogant kind of way. Yang Dingtian was speechless again. Whats your next move once you make it out of here? Dugu Fengwu asked after a while. Yang Dingtian took a long, deep breath, So, right now, Im a five star Mystic Martial Artist. Once I get out of here, Ill spend about three months to rank up to be a great Mystic Martial Master. After that, Ill find a mystic technique to master. Ill spend six months more trying to find a Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame and shape my own core flame. Im not sure if Id be that successful, but if I do, Ill rank up right away so I can qualify for the grand tournament a year later. The rest is pretty straightforward. Ill become qualified enough to defeat Ximen Ju in the tournament, take back the Cloud Heaven City, bring Yanyan and Ximen Lie back, and bring just about everybody back. In. Your. Dreams. Dugu Fengwus eyes were squinting so hard when she looked back at Yang Dingtian, Thirty levels in one year? Who do you think you are? Even I cant get five levels up in one year, and you want to get 30 levels up? Trust me; youd have a better chance trying to have a dream about that! Here, lie down. Get yourself comfortable on the ground. If you keep thinking about what youve just said, think as hard as you can about it, maybe youll have a dream where you beat up Ximen Ju with just your little finger! How about you shut your mouth and dont talk to me, demon woman? Yang Dingtian said angrily. Yang Dingtian didnt know what it was about Dugu Fengwu. Maybe she was a cobra or something in her past life, judging from how toxic her mouth could be. Dugu Fengwu wasnt done yet, And you mentioned the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame? Even a Martial Supreme like me doesnt have one! So, what makes you, a deluded nobody, think that youd have a chance with it? Youre at Martial Supreme level? Yang Dingtian cried out. Come to think of it. He did remember hearing Ximen Lie talking about it before. What do you think? Dugu Fengwu smiled menacingly, Take your dump of a Heaven Cloud City, for example. Since Ximen Wuya was gone, I can take on pretty much anyone from there, and hey, Im only twenty-six years old... Yang Dingtian interrupted, Well, Dongfang Bingling is only twenty years old. So what? What business is it to you? Dugu Fengwu argued with an unpleasant look on her face, You think being her fianc makes you close to her? Hey, news flash; she cant care less about you! You think you can use her to brag about yourself, but youre actually nothing to her. As hurtful as it might be, what Dugu Fengwu said didnt really have an impact on Yang Dingtian. As far as he was concerned, Dugu Fengwu was just a rude person. She was ruthless, had a low EQ, was narrow-minded, and didnt really have a sense of humility. Her opinions wouldnt be constructive in any way, so why bother listening to it? Just as Yang Dingtian expected, mentioning Dongfang Bingling really triggered Dugu Fengwu. Twenty years, Dugu Fengwu murmured, No more than that. Ill wipe that little girl out from the face of the earth. Damn it! No one younger than I is going to be more talented than me. I wont allow that... Yang Dingtian wasnt sure how to react, but he sure did have something he would like to say to Dugu Fengwu. If someone bold and dumb like you became the master of the Temple of Ten Thousand Blood, youd probably bring the entire Evil Dao down with you. Of course, he wasnt going to say it out. Yang Dingtian said, Save the talk before you manage to find a way out of here. Who knows? Maybe youll be stuck here forever, and the Heaven Dao Union will kill off every last one of you in the Evil Dao. Under Dongfang Binglings guide, too. Splat. Instead of saying anything back this time, Dugu Fengwu gave Yang Dingtian a hard slap to the face with her sword. Yang Dingtian couldnt see it very clearly, but after feeling an intense pain on his cheek, blood quickly fell out of his mouth, even his teeth were loosened by that hit. This demon woman! Yang Dingtian was really mad now. So thats how it was. Dugu Fengwu could say anything she wanted to others, but if somebody said something she didnt like, and she couldnt find a good comeback for it, she wouldnt even think twice about using violence to have her ways. Dont piss me off a second time, Dugu Fengwu said while holding her youngling sword, Or else Ill have your tongue. After wiping the blood off his mouth, Yang Dingtian decided that he really wasnt going to talk anymore. A wench like herself was not to be reasoned with, and ignoring her was, without a doubt, the best choice here. With that in mind, Yang Dingtian decided to go to sleep. He decided just to lay down where he was, use his staff as a body pillow, and fall asleep right away. Its pretty surprising, actually. Yang Dingtian didnt expect himself to fall asleep right next to somebody who wanted to kill him so badly. *************************** Yang Dingtian didnt know how long he had been sleeping for, but by the time he had woken up, he found Dugu Fengwu resting in her meditating posture, snoring softly with her eyes closed. Seeing that he was in a relatively safe spot, Yang Dingtian decided to fall asleep again. After a bit more time, Yang Dingtian woke up again, but Dugu Fengwu was looking very irritated this time. Well, it wasnt like Yang Dingtian was going to ask about it anyways. He wasnt done with his nap yet. Stop sleeping, you pig! Dugu Fengwu pinched Yang Dingtians ears as soon as his eyes started closing, Are you a pig? Sleep. Sleep. Sleep... is that all you know? How long have I slept? Yang Dingtian asked. Five days... Dugu Fengwu answered. Five days? Yang Dingtian widened his eyes in surprise. He didnt know he was capable of sleeping for so long, but it didnt seem like Dugu Fengwu was lying. By now, Yang Dingtians wounds were pretty much healed. Weirdly, all it took was some sleeping, but five days seemed like the right amount of time for his body to start repairing itself. I cant wait anymore. There has to be a way out, Dugu Fengwu said, It is thirty thousand kilometers underground here, and the Heaven Flame Phoenix is right above us, so we definitely cant go up. But whatevers down there, and Im not sure what it is, I can tell its more dangerous than the Heaven Flame Phoenix up there. Basically, the two were trapped. They couldnt go up, but they shouldnt go down either. I have an idea, a menacing voice suddenly spoke. For some reason, Dugu Fengwus eyes started flashing with light. Whatever idea she had, it was probably not safe. No, it was, without a doubt, something no normal person would do. Yang Dingtian wasnt sure what this idea was, but he was already taking several steps away from Dugu Fengwu. His back was drenched in cold sweat of instinctual fear. I dont know whats down there, but I think its very dangerous. Life-threatening, even. Can you check it out for me? Dugu Fengwu said. Do it yourself... Yang Dingtian said in an uncomfortable voice, but Dugu Fengwu was already charging towards him at lightning speed. Then, within a blink of an eye, Yang Dingtian was thrown towards the endless abyss down below. S?a??h th? ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Just you hecking wait, demon woman! Yang Dingtian screamed as he was in a downward free fall, The next time I see you, Ill do the unthinkable to you first before I kill you! Do you hear tha... This demon woman! Dugu Fengwu might look like a human, but she was, by no means, someone with any integrity. As Yang Dingtian fell further and further away Dugu Fengwu, his voice was also becoming more and more inaudible. ************* Down, down, down, down... Yang Dingtian didnt know how far or how long he had been falling down for, but it felt like he was going to do this forever. Down, down, down, down. He was ready to guard himself with his mystic qi in case of an emergency fall, but after a while, he suddenly found his body levitating in mid-air. There wasnt any impact. There was no crash. His body was just falling and falling, and then it stopped moving, like the laws of physics just suddenly became non-existent. Theres no gravity here. Yeah, zero gravity. Where the hell am I? Im floating... Yang Dingtian said to himself. Was he actually at the very center of this planet? But what did that mean? Wheres the center? Why was there no gravity here? What effect did zero gravity have on his body? Chapter 167: Supreme Fortune, Heaven-Defying Hidden Realm! Chapter 167: Supreme Fortune, Heaven-Defying Hidden Realm!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales As he raised his arms upward and concentrated the mystic qi in his hands, Yang Dingtian was able to generate a reaction force that pushed him down to the ground he was floating on. It was dark all around Yang Dingtian. He didnt know how far he was from reaching the surface below him, so he was just kind of hoping that his feet would eventually find somewhere to stand on. Then he started falling down even further. It was ten meters, a hundred meters, and then several hundred meters. After a while, Yang Dingtian felt something hard with his feet, like a solid flat surface for him to stand on. And with a just little more push, he was finally able to stand on his two legs again. Right when Yang Dingtian made his landing, his surroundings suddenly brightened up with intense white light. Ha... Yang Dingtian took a deep breath as he quickly scanned around him. Where was this? A palace that belonged to the Gods? So right now, Yang Dingtian was standing inside this gigantic palace-like building. There were exactly five doors in all directions, each standing at the height of a mountain. Whatever this building was, it was probably about a hundred thousand square meters wide, much bigger than many soccer fields combined. Yang Dingtian was about two hundred meters from the ground now, and he wasnt quite sure just exactly what he was standing on. Without a clue of what was happening, all Yang Dingtian could do was to keep looking around by rotating his head. What in the world was this place? How was it so big? A palace of this size was nowhere to be found, even in the Heaven Cloud City or the Yin Yang Sect. By speaking of which, the five doors around Yang Dingtian were all in different colors. One of them was red; the second one was blue. One door was marked gold, while the other was one purple. The last one, which was most unique one out of them all, was constantly shifting from red to blue to white. Just what treasure could be lying behind these mysterious gates? As Yang Dingtian was still contemplating to himself, he heard the sound of a wind blowing from above. Dugu Fengwu came down. She probably saw the flash of light and decided to join Yang Dingtians company. With an effortless flick of an arm, Dugu Fengwu pushed herself out of the zero gravity zone, which caused her to land right next to Yang Dingtian. Dugu Fengwu, too, was in awe at what she was witnessing. I dont know how to describe it, Dugu Fengwu sighed, Yang Dingtian, but I dont know what it is with you and your ridiculous luck. Youre supposed to die from that fall, but you ended up surviving it and found this secret realm. Secret realm? Yang Dingtian called out in shock, despite wanting to avoid talking to Dugu Fengwu, This is a secret realm? **************** Well, its pretty obvious... Dugu Fengwu scanned around with her eyes, This is a grand palace thats several thousand kilometers below the surface. You tell me. If its not a secret realm built in the ancient times, which sect in our time do you think wouldve done something like this? Yang Dingtian was exhilarated. He was lucky enough to find the grade nine inferno, lucky enough to craft his own youngling sword, a legendary one, at that, and it seemed like fate still had more to offer him. The secret realms were some of the most precious and mysterious locations inside this world. While their origins were far too old to be in the record, no one knew who exactly built them, nor did they know where to find it. In other words, one had to be lucky enough to stumble upon one. However, luck was not the only requirement. One must also be courageous enough to withstand the challenge presented by the secret realm. Whoever it was, there were only two outcomes for entering a secret realm. You either perish, or you gain a power that far exceeds your potential. Take Ximen Wuya, for example. As he was not exceptionally talented in any way, nothing fruitful came to him even after a decade of studying the grade nine secret scroll. However, after he began his venturing and found a secret realm, he became one of the strongest men in the whole realm. If it wasnt for rescuing Yang Dingtian, he couldve even become the strongest man there was. The same thing happened to Dongfang Bingling. At just thirteen years of age, this proud girl chose to study the grade nine secret scroll despite her inexperience. Although Dongfang Binglings meridian was unmatched by anyone else, she, too, made little to no progress in the first few years. With Dongfang Niemie out of the Ying Yang Sect, everyone took her for a girl with nothing but her looks. She was ridiculed and disrespected. Someone even tried to force himself on her. Because she couldnt handle living her life like this, she chose the same path as Ximen Wuya. That was, she left her home and traveled to the outside world. When she returned after three years, Dongfang Bingling was already a Martial Mystic. Two more years later, she climbed her way up to being a Martial Ancestor, then straight to becoming a Martial Supreme. She was twenty years old by then! Such things were unheard of before. One Martial Supreme was enough to shock the world, but no one expected someone so young to be in such a high position. Dongfang Binglings life skyrocketed after that. Her status became that of a goddess or a star that was so far up high in the sky that no one could touch it. While no one knew what exactly happened during Dongfang Binglings travel, a popular guess was that she found and used a secret realm. Enough flashbacks. It should be clear how precious the power of a secret realm was now. In other words, Yang Dingtian was given an opportunity. If he was considered worthy by this place, he could potentially gain power so great that it far exceeded his potential. Didnt you say there was something dangerous here? Yang Dingtian asked, It seems kind of peaceful here. Doom. Right after Yang Dingtian said it, the ground below him suddenly started to rumble. Without any warning, a giant hand emerged from the ground and came straight at Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwu. Although it wasnt directly aimed at them, the wind produced by its movement was already enough to make them fall down even further to the ground several hundred meters below. So thats what Dugu Fengwu was worried about. It turned out they were standing right on top of a giants head. This giant, which was about three to four hundred meters tall, had one eye on each of its head. The hammer in its right hand was about the size of an entire house, and it was looking right at the two tiny creatures, who were now right next to its feet. Identify yourself. Unidentified intruders will be unconditionally eliminated ... Whatever this giant was made of, there was a certain mechanical tone to its voice, like it was synthesized from computer software or something. This voice was also very muffled, in a very obnoxiously loud kind of way, almost in par with the scream of the Heaven Flame Phoenix earlier. The guardian will commence his countdown. Please identify yourself... Nine... Eight... Identify yourself. Unidentified intruders will be unconditionally eliminated ... Seven... Six... Access will not be permitted if you are not a VIP member of Five Elements Hall... Uh, ah, can you take down this giant? Yang Dingtian looked over to Dugu Fengwu, who was breathing just as hard as he was. Well... What do you think? Dugu Fengwu rolled her eyes. Well, Yang Dingtian kept asking, How does it compare to the Heaven Flame Phoenix? What point is there to compare them? Look, a slap from that thing is enough to kill a master. As for you, Im really not sure whats the best way to describe it, but calling you an ant wouldnt be an overstatement here. The foul mouth of this demon woman. Even on the brink of death, Dugu Fengwu was still thinking of ways to insult Yang Dingtian. Five... The giant was still counting. Four... Three... Two... One... You are not a VIP member, and you will not be granted access here. All trespassers will be unconditionally eliminated... Unconditionally... The giant said as it swung its hammer towards Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwu. Yang Dingtian wanted to escape to the door, but he couldnt move his body. It was like he was already carrying the weight of this giant before it even made contact. Strangely, Dugu Fengwu wasnt trying to fight back. Her eyes were just locked onto Yang Dingtian. What? Trying to get a good look at me before you die? Yang Dingtian asked sarcastically. Im thinking if I should kill you right here, Dugu Fengwu replied. Yang Dingtian didnt know what to say. Both of them were about to die now, and this demon woman was still thinking about killing him? The hammer was coming closer. It wasnt fast, but the size of it made it impossible to dodge from it. Dugu Fengwu inquired, Since were about to die here, just tell me honestly: Did you actually violate me? Yang Dingtian wasnt in a mood to give a sensible answer, Agh!! If I knew how unlikable and annoying you are, Ill violate you, kill you, violate you again, kill you again, violate and kill... The hammer was right on top of Yang Dingtian now. If Yang Dingtian had to describe it, it was like having a mountain drop right on top of you. And forget about being squeezed into meat sauce. Nothing would be left when this giant was done with its task. Is this really it? Yang Dingtian thought to himself, Please, I dont want to end like this. Not like this... As he clung desperately onto his dear life, something came to Yang Dingtians mind: the teardrop-shaped ornament Ning Ning gave him. If it werent for this piece of ornament, Yang Dingtian wouldve never scared away the Fire Demon Violent Lion back at the Ten Thousand Blood Pool. As far as he remembered, the thousand-year-old beast didnt even dare to take a look at it. This three-headed giant was much, much stronger than that lion. There was no doubt about that. To be fair, Yang Dingtian had no idea the same trick would work for a second time. Well, it was either try or die! As the hammer was coming right down on Yang Dingtian, he took out the ornament, inserted his mystic qi into it, and quickly, it began to emit a beautiful, crystalized glow of light. At the same time, the hammer froze right on top of Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwus heads. There were just three inches of distance between him and imminent death. The giant, who was having no hesitation with its task just then, was now looking kind of confused. As though searching far into its own memory, all three of its eyes were staring blankly at the ornament. On the other hand, Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwu were standing right where they were, like prisoners waiting for their trials. So this was what a secret realm was like. You are either welcomed into it, or you get crushed in a matter of seconds. S?a??h the ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 168: Demon Woman Searching a Road, Cultivate! Chapter 168: Demon Woman Searching a Road, Cultivate!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Several minutes had passed. The giant probably remembered something, and it was looking at Yang Dingtian in a somewhat troubled manner like it wasnt sure whether to kill him right away or to leave him be. So it did recognize the ornament. That was for certain. The ornament probably served as some kind of command signal, but the giant wasnt sure what it was instructed to do. It wasnt even sure if Yang Dingtian had anything to do the Five Elements Hall, to begin with. It probably wasnt intelligent enough to ask questions. After all, it was just a statue, a gatekeeper built by those in ancient times. Yang Dingtian, on the other hand, was wandering around the edge of hell. If the stone giant, say, remembered something unpleasant now, Yang Dingtian wouldve been mashed instantly along with Dugu Fengwu. Whoo... As though having made up its mind, the giant decided to withdraw its hammer and went back to sleep, which signified that the two intruders were free to do as they pleased. Yang Dingtian took a long sigh of relief. Without Dugu Fengwu noticing it, he quickly opened his storage ring and put the teardrop-shaped ornament back in. Dugu Fengwu had her eyes closed this entire time. She was waiting for her eventual end, but since the hit never landed on her, she slowly opened her eyes and saw that the stone giant had returned to being a statue. Yang Dingtian, just who are you? Dugu Fengwu stared blankly at Yang Dingtian, but Yang Dingtian didnt bother to answer back. He was just staring back at her in a very dulled manner. Stop asking that, Yang Dingtian spoke after a while, Its either this or Im going to kill you. Is that the only two things you know how to say? Honestly, Im really not sure if I should kill you right here, Dugu Fengwu replied, but Yang Dingtian couldnt care less. It was scary the first time he heard it, but the words started to lose their meaning once they were repeated so many times. So do the five doors represent the five elements? Fire. Ice. Gold. Wind. Thunder. Is that it? Yang Dingtian asked. Yes... Dugu Fengwu said. Yang Dingtian could feel his heart beating really fast now. If what Dugu Fengwu said was true, then today was really his lucky day. As far as Yang Dingtian could remember, the second stage of the Pig Slaying Sword Art, namely the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword, needed a training ground which was composed of all five elements. In other words, the Five Elements Hall was basically a blessing to him, dedicated to helping him train to the next level. You were supposed to die from that fall, but you survived and found a secret realm, Dugu Fengwu exclaimed, And you said you would become a Great Mystic Martial Master in three months, which is borderline impossible, but now youve found the Five Elements Hall. Are you really blessed by the Gods? Yang Dingtian replied, Actually, Im not the only here. So youre saying Im here because of you, Dugu Fengwu sneered, Well, before you get any more arrogant, how about you find an exit? Being a Great Mystic Martial Master is good and all, but it wont be much use if youre trapped here for the rest of your life. Yeah, okay. So which door do you think would lead us out of here? Yang Dingtian asked. Youd have to try to know, Dugu Fengwu answered, then turned to look at the five tall doors around them. Finally, after having made up her mind, Dugu Fengwu walked towards the golden door. S?a?ch* Th? N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian wasnt sure about it, but he decided to follow her. He wanted to explore this secret realm as well, but most importantly, he wanted to find a way out. As Yang Dingtian stood in front of the giant golden door, he gently placed his hand onto it and, surprisingly, was able to push it open with very little strength. There was a massive, massive room inside, and at the other end, there was a door that was smaller than the one here at the entrance. Wait... After just taking one step in, Yang Dingtian found his body to be drastically heavier than outside, so much so that he almost fell flat on the ground. It wasnt certain how something like this could be done, but the gravity in this room was about three times the gravity on Earth. There was no gravity back then, and now it was three times the normal gravity. And while it wasnt like Yang Dingtian couldnt move around, the youngling sword in his hand was really starting to become a burden. Meanwhile, Dugu Fengwu didnt spend any second to care about Yang Dingtian. Three times the normal gravity was nothing to her, so even if there were about one hundred meters of distance to walk, it still didnt take much time for her to reach the door at the other end of the room. Needless to say, this other door was the second door of the Five Elements Halls. Compared to the last one, this door was not so easy to open, but Dugu Fengwu could still push it away with her mystic qi and made her way into the second room. Once Yang Dingtian had entered too, he saw that this second room was smaller than the first one, at just about several tens of meters in both height and length. The door at the end was also smaller, and the route to walk there was shorter. However, just as Yang Dingtian stepped in, the youngling sword in his hand almost crashed on the ground. It turned out that this room had three times more gravity than the last one, and Yang Dingtians youngling sword went from 9 times its original 150 kg in mass. While shielding his body with his mystic qi, Yang Dingtian followed Dugu Fengwu and continued his way forward. He was still managing onto himself, despite the drastic change in the difficulty of this trial. Having walked through the second room, Dugu Fengwu reached the third door. And although she took some time to open this third door, it seemed like she wasnt at her limit yet. Dang. While having arrived in the third room, Yang Dingtians youngling sword immediately slipped out of his hand. It was like the floor was made out of magnet or something, and there was just no way he could keep holding onto it. Dugu Fengwu was slowing down as well. It was three times the normal gravity in the first room, nine times in the second, so its twenty-seven times in the third room. The staff Yang Dingtian was holding was about more than five tons right now. He couldnt even hold it in his hand, let alone taking a step more from where he was at with it. Dugu Fengwu, on the other hand, was somehow still managing. The youngling sword she was holding was about 1 to 1.5 tons right now, and she was still walking forward. Yang Dingtian leaned his body forward. He wanted to grab his youngling sword, but the damn heavy thing just wouldnt move. Agh! Yang Dingtian screamed at the top of his lung. Using both of his arms, he was able to lift the youngling sword at about three cuns from the ground, but the thing still slipped out of his grip and made a loud noise as it fell. Dugu Fengwu turned her head back, Youll have to give up that youngling sword here if you want to leave this place. Five tons is too much for you. No way, Yang Dingtian stated. Stay here, then. Ill search the path up head, Dugu Fengwu replied while moving forward with her sword in hand. Funnily enough, Dugu Fengwus breasts might be firm, but it was not as if they could withstand twenty-seven times the normal gravity, meaning that while she had to carry the youngling sword with one hand, she had to use her other hand to try lifting her cleavage from bottom up. If Yang Dingtian werent in his current condition, he wouldve burst out laughing the moment he saw Dugu Fengwu like this. However, with all this weight around him, he decided to stay where he was and watched as Dugu Fengwu kept leading ahead of him. While Dugu Fengwu was finished with the third room, she focused her mystic qi and began pushing the fourth door. This time, however, she had to push the door very slowly instead of pushing it away like before. That being said, she eventually got herself into the fourth room. The fourth room was even smaller, and it was only about thirty meters tall. Miserably enough, there was still another door at the end of this room. Its like there really was no end to this whole trial. Unlike previous times, though, the fourth door closed itself as soon as Dugu Fengwu went in, which meant that she and Yang Dingtian were completely separated now. Yang Dingtian was left alone in the third room. He was standing next to his youngling sword, trying to pick it up with all the strength that he had. And just as he was able to lift it a bit, Yang Dingtian opened his storage ring and quickly put it in before it fell out of his grip again. So, no problem with the youngling sword now. With that out of the way, Yang Dingtian started taking slow steps towards the end of this third room, which was twenty-seven times heavier than normal. After two minutes, Yang Dingtian reached the end of the third door and was now in front of the fourth door. Agh... For a human, Yang Dingtian was already pretty overpowered. By pushing on this door, he could release about at least several tons of force from his body, but even that was nowhere near enough to make it flinch. Seeing that he had no chance to enter the fourth room, Yang Dingtian gave up on trying to follow Dugu Fengwu. Instead, he decided to wait in front of the fourth door, while using his qi to resist the heavy weight around his body. Five minutes had passed. Ten minutes. Thirty minutes. An hour. Dugu Fengwu was still not back yet. Yang Dingtian had no idea how many rooms she had gone into, and he didnt know how many rooms were there either. And most importantly, was there even an exit out of this place? What if Dugu Fengwu had already found one and abandoned Yang Dingtian? Screw that woman. I dont care if you leave me here. Its safer without you around me anyway, Yang Dingtian thought, then proceeded to return to the main hall of the Five Elements Hall. Actually, even if he knew a way out, Yang Dingtian wasnt planning on leaving early anyway. Finding a secret realm was no easy task, to begin with, so he might as well make the most out of this opportunity. ************************* Once Yang Dingtian had returned to the main hall, his body was feeling so light that he almost believed he could fly. So this was what it was like to go from high gravity to absolutely no gravity. As he took a deep breath of the fresh, relaxing air around here, Yang Dingtian could sense a very vigorous source of mystic qi in this palace. He could feel it with his soul. At the center of this hall, there was a very concentrated, pure mystic qi floating around! It was just like that time back at the Terror Manor during the Yin Yang Festival. While the level of the qi was not as strong as back then, obviously, given that the Yin Yang Festival occurred once-every-three-hundred-year, the level of the qis purity was almost identical. And while still on the subject, the amount of mystic qi here was already more pure than most areas in this world. Most importantly, its completely pure, which meant that whoevers surrounded by it could just absorb it without any filtering. Come to think of it that this secret realm was just a massive formation of the five elements, those doors representing the different elements on each side. No wonder there was such a high concentration of mystic qi in the center. Also, it would make sense that there was no gravity here. Since all the five elements were present, they would, essentially, cancel each other out, hence form a vacuum where only the purest essence remained. If Yang Dingtian were looking for a spot to absorb the mystic qi here, then it would definitely have to be the center of this hall. Thats where the qi was at its purest and thickest. With that being said, Yang Dingtian sat down and began his meditation. He closed his eyes, channeled his qi around his body, opened the entrance to his meridian, and started chanting lines from the Pig Slaying Sword Art. Yang Dingtian couldnt believe it. He knew this place had a lot of mystic qi, but he didnt expect it to be hundreds of times purer than the outside world. There was just a limitless amount of energy, so eager to flood through his body the moment he opened up his meridian. Better yet, there was no one he needed to share it with. It was all his to take. In other words, a meditation session here would be more fruitful than doing it outside for two to three months. Chapter 169: Demon Woman Killing Yang Dingtian!

Afraid of harm from the five elements, and there will be no restraining of the self amid this sea of suffering. Even with a body made of bones and flesh, I will appear to be made of steel... As Yang Dingtian immersed himself in the qi around him, he could feel a very refreshing energy channeling through him. It was first through his meridian, then through his qi vessel. Yang Dingtian didnt know for how long he was here. It was perhaps several minutes, or even several hours. Anyways, he calmed himself and watched as the air was filled with qi, and the cloud it created slowly began to inflate as every moment passed by. As there was so much qi gathering in the air, Yang Dingtian could even see them jumping up and down in waves. And its not just the air. The qi inside his meridian, too, was moving so vigorously. He was having a breakthrough. All it took was one meditation session. Yang Dingtian didnt know what a secret realm was, but it didnt take him much time at all to realize its splendid powers. While Yang Dingtian was looking inside his qi vessel, a golden ray of light flashed across his face and took over his senses. All the meridians in his body were entering into a temporary state of rest. By the time Yang Dingtian came to his senses, he could feel even more qi entering through his body. And although he had drained all the essence off the center of the hall room, there were still tiny specks of energy that were gathering from all directions. Yang Dingtian actually did it. He had a breakthrough just now! He had thought about it before, but he didnt expect to become a six star Mystic Martial Artist so fast. Something like that usually took about two to three months, but he was able to do it in just a few hours. It was frightening. Was this what a secret realm could do? That was just way too broken. Yang Dingtian wanted to celebrate, but before he opened his eyes, he felt a chill in his spine. As he turned his head back, he could see Dugu Fengwu staring at him like some kind of predatory animal. He didnt expect her to be here, to be honest. He didnt think she would come back for him. Also, how long had she been looking at him? Yang Dingtian tried to keep a straight face, You found an exit? Dugu Fengwu nodded, There are five rooms behind every door in this place. Gold. Fire. Ice. Thunder. Wind. No matter which door you choose, youll reach the bottom of the sea once you finish the trial. Ive explored all of them except the thunder. Whoever made that one has to be some kind of sadistic creep. Yang Dingtian said, Oh, so there is a way out of this place. Thats great. You can leave this palace now. Dugu Fengwu wasnt following, though. She was talking at her own pace, in a somewhat nonchalant manner. My, take a look around you. Strange, isnt it? This Five Elements Hall doesnt do anything for me, but the way its built... Its like this whole place was designed for you. Once you get out of here, your ability will be on a whole new dimension than before. I can tell you that much. Oh, right. I guess Im pretty lucky, Yang Dingtian said carefully, So, why are you still here? Well, to kill you, of course, Dugu Fengwu replied, but Yang Dingtian was, really, more tired than scared. He was getting sick of getting death threats from the same person over and over again. How about you say something more creative? Yang Dingtian asked powerlessly. Unlike her usual self, however, Dugu Fengwu wasnt offended in the least. In fact, her smile was only stretching wider, and her voice was becoming softer. Oh yeah, by the way, Dugu Fengwu asked in a bizarrely warm tone, You have a lot of unfinished business, dont you? How about I do them for you? To think about it, Yang Dingtian had never seen Dugu Fengwu acting like this. Yang Dingtian paused for a bit, then shook his head, Uh, no. And why would I want you to fulfill my dreams? Theyre mine. Not yours. Oh, really? Dugu Fengwu smiled, You dont want me to kill Ximen Ju? What about saving Ximen Yanyan? Come on, just one thing. As of now, apart from defeating Dongfang Bingling, Im willing to do any one thing you ask me to do. Yang Dingtian shook his head, Everything youve just said is for me to do. Im sorry, but you wont be able to do them, Dugu Fengwu said patiently, I know Ive said it so many times, but Im really going to kill you. Yang Dingtian narrowed his eyes for a bit, and after taking a long look at Dugu Fengwu, he finally spoke in a very slow tone. Are you being serious? Dugu Fengwu nodded, Mmm, hmmm. Yeah, Im pretty serious about it. Dugu Fengwu continued, I know Im losing credit here, but I meant it every time I said I was going to kill you. Before we got to this place, I had all the opportunities I wanted, but I kept my hands off you because I needed the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl from you. And now that were here, my plan was spare you until you can help me find an exit, which means, well, I dont have any more excuses. Im already done crafting my youngling sword. And why now? Yang Dingtian asked again. I can feel it, Dugu Fengwu explained, I dont know just what exactly you are, Yang Dingtian, but your existence will bring destruction to the Evil Dao. There is an unlimited amount of potential in your mystic meridian. Otherwise, you wouldve never learned the Hidden Sects sword art when I was just toying with you. You wouldve never crafted a better youngling sword than mine when youre just a five star Mystic Martial Artist. A five star Mystic Martial Artist, thats all I thought you were, but now youve found yourself a secret realm to train in. If I let you out of this place alive, it wouldnt take more than a year for you to become one of our worst enemies. Do you understand what I am saying here? If you get out of this place, everything thats going to happen next will be my responsibility to take. As though unwilling to admit it, Dugu Fengwu drew a long, deep breath before she went on. Anyway, youll probably catch up to me in five years. In ten years, youll probably be better than me. In fifteen or twenty years, theres a chance that youll become invincible, and the Evil Dao will have another obstacle to overcome before we regain our past glory. Yang Dingtian wasnt saying anything. He was just staring at Dugu Fengwu as she was speaking. You had a breakthrough just then, and that took you no more than a day. Someone like you is too dangerous to be left alive, Dugu Fengwu said coldly, Youve saved my life twice before, but the decision has been made. That being said, even someone as cruel as me would find it hard to kill someone whos saved my life before, so here is the deal: if you ask me to help you with any unfinished business, its going to make me a lot less guilty when I kill you. Yang Dingtian shook his head, Just kill me. Im not going to ask you to do anything for me. Oh, but you have to! Dugu Fengwu persisted, I will be haunted for the rest of my life if I just end you like this. Youve saved my life twice before, so, please! Ask me a favor before you die, and itll be much easier for me to end you right here. Yang Dingtian took out his youngling sword from the storage ring. Then, as he pointed it towards Dugu Fengwu, he shook his head once more. I dont want you to help me with anything, Yang Dingtian said firmly. Dugu Fengwu, too, revealed her sword. The smile on her face vanished and became a cold, murderous expression. Okay, then. I wont ask again, Dugu Fengwu said slowly, then leaped forward with her sword thrusting towards Yang Dingtian. Instead of blocking the attack, Yang Dingtian raised his staff and went straight for Dugu Fengwus head, but the instinctual fear he was feeling was making his body very slow to react. In contrast, Dugu Fengwu was very quick. Within a split of a second, the tip of her sword had already reached Yang Dingtians throat. There wasnt much Yang Dingtian could do, really. Dugu Fengwu didnt finish her job, though. She did land a strike into Yang Dingtians flesh. Yet, instead of making the wound deeper, she stopped for a while, and after a few seconds, she decided to withdraw her blade. No, no, no, no... This wont do, Dugu Fengwu said with a troubled look on her face, Ill ask you one last time, Yang Dingtian. Did you, or did you not, violate me on that day at the Ten Thousand Blood Pool? As he could feel his body becoming colder, Yang Dingtian really wasnt bothered to answer the question. You have to answer me. This is important, Dugu Fengwu demanded. You want a reason to kill me? Yang Dingtian sneered, Fine. I did violate you on that day. I violated you, and I violated you more than once. More than you could imagine, by the way. Dugu Fengwu paused for a bit. After staring into Yang Dingtians eyes for a bit longer, she suddenly looked down and shook her head. So, you really didnt violate me, Dugu Fengwu closed her eyes in anguish. She really couldnt persuade herself to kill Yang Dingtian here. Yang Dingtian was half-wishing it to be a quick finish, but Dugu Fengwu was becoming even more uncertain now. She knew she must kill Yang Dingtian here, but how was she going to do it without any guilt? I got it, Dugu Fengwu said after walking around for ten minutes, then proceeded to take off her clothes. Yang Dingtian wasnt sure what was happening, but Dugu Fengwu was very fast at stripping herself off. In less than a second, the top half of her body was already bare naked, and there was nothing to cover those white, firm breasts and slender waist of hers. After she was done with her top, Dugu Fengwu took off her undergarments and revealed her round, moon-like hips. Her legs and even her pink, soft privates were all for Yang Dingtian to see. If I cant find a reason to kill you, I can just give you my body, Dugu Fengwu said as she suddenly pushed Yang Dingtian to the ground, after which she immediately pried his clothes away. Back off, you crazy woman! Yang Dingtian screamed as he swung his youngling sword in the air, Do whatever you want to do to yourself, just dont drag me into it! Despite his best efforts, Yang Dingtian couldnt do anything to prevent himself from such humiliation. In an almost effortless manner, Dugu Fengwu flicked away Yang Dingtians sword and ripped off all his clothing. She didnt even flinch a bit when she was sitting on top of him with her legs open. Then, with a press of her finger, Dugu Fengwu activated a pressure point at Yang Dingtians lower abdomen, to which an immense heat burst out of Yang Dingtians lower half. While caressing the firm, hot thing with her hand, Dugu Fengwu opened up her legs and sat right on top of Yang Dingtian. It was like she had no such experience before, but she also wasnt afraid of knowing the taste of a man. Yang Dingtian was not in the mood at all, but he could feel himself getting bigger as his thing dug deeper inside Dugu Fengwu. Then, as it was about to reach the end, Dugu Fengwu started shaking her hips like an animal in heat. What a joke. After spreading so many rumors about how Yang Dingtian had defiled her, this demon woman decided to violate him in the end. The quicker Dugu Fengwu became, the more rushed the two started to breathe, and the redder and hotter their bodies became. That being said, their eyes were still stone cold as they looked at each other. Dugu Fengwu suddenly spoke, Why not just enjoy yourself now? Better to have some fun before you go, wouldnt you agree? Without waiting for Yang Dingtians reply, Dugu Fengwu closed her eyes and let out a sharp cry. Her voice was becoming more shameless as every second passed by. Ah... Like a swan shot by an arrow, Dugu Fengwu raised her neck and moaned towards the sky. Her whole body was straightened completely, and the vibration wasnt pausing for even a second. Ahh... After being like this for twenty seconds, Dugu Fengwu dropped herself on top of Yang Dingtians chest. So, this is what tasting a man feels like... Dugu Fengwu said to herself with a slightly raised voice, I suppose even a monk should have some idea of what meat tastes like. Alright, bye-bye now! I wont make it painful for you... Chapter 170: Fatal Palm Strike, Insane Tribulation Chapter 170: Fatal Palm Strike, Insane TribulationWith both of her hands holding onto Yang Dingtians cheek, Dugu Fengwu gave a deep, passionate kiss to his lips. She then reached inside his Deep Sea Mystic Clothes and placed her palm directly on top of his chest. I will remember you, Yang Dingtian. You are my very first man, and youll be the only man Ive ever had, Dugu Fengwu whispered as she released a powerful qi into her hand. Poof... As the mystic qi struck straight to Yang Dingtians chest, a tall streak of blood shot up from his mouth at about fifty meters from where he was lying. After that, Yang Dingtian stopped breathing and dropped dead. For reasons she wasnt sure of, Dugu Fengwu could feel a sharp pain in her heart when Yang Dingtian stopped breathing. She didnt think she would ever feel this way, but the pain was much more real than it shouldve been. Dugu Fengwu probably didnt feel like doing it. Maybe she didnt want to kill Yang Dingtian. After all, he saved her life before, and he never actually defiled her. But did any of that matter? The deed was already done. Dugu Fengwu raised herself off from Yang Dingtians body. She then cleaned herself off and dressed herself up. Farewell. Ill remember you for the rest of my life. With droplets of tears falling out of her eyes, Dugu Fengwu headed towards the golden element room and disappeared from the Five Elements Hall. ****************** S?a?ch* Th? N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Dugu Fengwu wasnt joking around about not going easy on Yang Dingtian. After hearing that even Zhu Hongxue wasnt able to kill him with one palm, she decided to deliver the killing blow with a point-blank shot to the chest. As Yang Dingtian felt the heat leaving his body, he could faintly see the three-head golem towering over him. It was also saying something rather odd to him. The VIP member is losing his life energy... The guardian shall begin his first attempt at rescue... The guarding is now in the middle of attempting his rescue... Then, without any explanation, the stone giant picked Yang Dingtian up and opened the stone slab located at his chest. Strangely, there was a pool filled with emerald-green liquid inside, and this giant was trying to grab Yang Dingtian and drown him in it. As soon as Yang Dingtian was placed inside this mysterious pool, countless sparks of white light began to shine and penetrated through his body. ************************* Yang Dingtian wasnt sure how long it had been since he fell unconscious, but slowly and steadily, he could feel his broken body and soul being reassembled into its original shape. When the final healing process was finished, Yang Dingtian woke up and found himself lying inside a pool filled with life energy. He had a gist of what was going on, but more importantly, the memories were coming back to him. Honestly, though, Yang Dingtian never thought that Dugu Fengwu wouldve actually done it. She threatened to kill him on the road, she threatened him while they were inside the Fire Cloud Devil Cave, but the threats never did him any real harm. That being said, reality struck hard on Yang Dingtian. In the end, Dugu Fengwu did kill him technically, and he finally learned his lessons. You taught me well, Dugu Fengwu, Yang Dingtian murmured to himself, Thanks for letting me know the ways of your Evil Dao. I was stupid to think that there was any humanity in you... No more mercy to the Evil Dao. No more rainbows and fairy-tales, oh no... Just you wait, demon woman. Ill get better than you one day, and I will take your life when the time comes. I swear it. The guardian has succeeded in his rescue attempt. The VIP member will now re-enter his trial! While cheering to itself, the stone giant opened up its chest and took Yang Dingtian out. Then, after placing him on the ground, it went back to sleep in its original sculpture form. ***************** Just what the hell was in that water pool inside the golems chest? Yang Dingtian had no idea, but as far as he was concerned, all his fatal wounds were recovered from it. If anything, it was making him much very energetic, like he just got out of a sauna or something like that. Yang Dingtian was more focused on something else, though. He must use this Five Elements Hall to make him stronger. He had just one breakthrough just then, and there was no telling how many more he could get if he stayed here longer. Considering the time that he had, Yang Dingtian decided to stay inside the Five Elements Hall until he reached level fifteen when he was to become a Great Mystic Martial Master. Thats right. To be considered a respected Mystic Martial Artist, Yang Dingtian must reach level fifteen before he leaves this place. If he couldnt attain level fifteen, he wouldnt even qualify to begin training his mystic techniques. ********************** Once again, Yang Dingtian sat right at the center of the training hall. It was his second breathing session in this place, and he wasnt going to stop absorbing the mystic qi gathered around this area. Speaking of which, Yang Dingtian was still absorbing the mystic qi here after he had his first breakthrough, but Dugu Fengwu came and interrupted. This time too, however, Yang Dingtian was not alone. Even during his breathing session, Yang Dingtian would have his arms wrapped around his deformed, staff-like youngling sword while he focused on inhaling and exhaling the qi around him. From now on, all of Yang Dingtians training would be accompanied by his youngling sword. For every moment he spent with it, a little more progress would be made to shape its swords soul. As Yang Dingtian opened himself up once more, a powerful, highly concentrated streak of mystic qi entered through his body once more. One hour had passed. Two hours. Three hours. One day. After one day of just breathing in and breathing out the qi, Yang Dingtians empty qi vessel was now filled again. This time, however, his qi vessel was not as rigorous nor inflated as before. Yang Dingtian tried shoving more qi inside his qi vessel, but his body was simply too full for it. Any extra amount was pushed out as they were pushed in. With that mind, the issue then became a matter of enlarging Yang Dingtians qi vessel. But, this real question was how. Of course, by practicing martial arts. Generally speaking, most Mystic Martial Artists would spend eight hours a day just to enlarge their qi vessel and meridians with their physical training. After that, they would spend two extra hours absorbing mystic qi in and out of their body. Only after repeating this routine for half or one year, or maybe even after many years, would another breakthrough be plausible to achieve. The purpose of training martial arts was to expand ones meridian and qi vessel. Holding breathing sessions, on the other hand, served the purpose of filling in those new spaces. The two acts must be performed together; otherwise, there wouldnt be a point. So open up and fill it in. Open up. Fill it in. Since Yang Dingtian was just done with his breathing session, he was now ready to practice his Pig Slaying Sword Art. As dull as this whole process might be, Yang Dingtian had hoped that the results would surprise him. **************** With his 150 kg sword in hand, Yang Dingtian walked into the first room of the golden element training ground, where the gravity inside was three times of the outside world. Huh... With both of his arms tensed up, Yang Dingtian raised his youngling sword and began acting out the Pig Slaying Sword Art. He was planning to complete the entire choreograph in one go, all the way from the first to the ninth. The youngling sword in Yang Dingtians hand was weighing around half a ton right now. Under normal circumstances, he couldve performed the entire set of the Pig Slaying Sword Art in thirty seconds, but now it would take him five whole minutes. Four minutes and thirty-five seconds the second time. Four minutes and thirty seconds the third time. With every swing of his sword, Yang Dingtian could feel the mystic qi flowing violently out of his body. Ten times. Twenty times. Thirty times. One hundred times. Three hundred times. Five hundred times. One thousand times. After swinging the youngling sword a thousand times, Yang Dingtian was now able to perform the whole Pig Slaying Sword Art within less than one minute, even under the condition of being under three times the normal gravity. By the time he was finished with his physical training, Yang Dingtian had already spent two days and one night. His mystic qi, too, was completely drained out by this routine. But still. Given that Yang Dingtian was only inside the first room, he actually made quite a progress. Within just a day, his strength was already several times stronger than before. After all that exercise, Yang Dingtian didnt even feel like his body was his anymore. He was tired, numb, and he had to drag himself all the back to the center of the Five Elements Hall, sit in an upright position, hold his youngling sword, and begin another breathing session. Once again, those pure mystic qis flooded through Yang Dingtians meridian and made their stop at his qi vessel. And because of how exhausted Yang Dingtian was, the qi was immediately dissolved as soon as it was absorbed. It was like his body was a desert, and no amount of water was enough to turn it into a river. One hour. Two hours. Three hours. Five hours. Five hours of breathing out, and five more hours of absorbing the mystic qi. After this long and repetitive process, Yang Dingtian was finally able to fill his qi vessel again. Unlike last time, however, the breakthrough he just had was not a big one. He went from being a six star novice Mystic Martial Artist to a six star intermediate Mystic Martial Artist. With his body fuelled up again, Yang Dingtian made his way back to the first room of the golden element palace. This time, since he was done with the first stage of his workout, the Pig Slaying Sword Art, he was now going to move to the second stage. To be more specific, he was going to practice the Unyielding Sword, which was the fourth technique of the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword. So, the Unyielding Sword. As the name suggested, the point of this technique was not how fast it was, but rather how powerful the blade was as it strikes. That being said, Yang Dingtian was under three times the normal gravity, and the youngling sword in his hand was heavier than a bear. Since most of his qi was focused on holding the sword alone, it was very difficult for the swings to have any speed. March forth! Unyielding and indestructible... While enchanting the words that were taught to him, Yang Dingtian began practicing the Unyielding Sword over and over again. Tens of times. Hundreds of times. Thousands of times. Finally, after spending three days to use up all his mystic qi, Yang Dingtian was able to make his strength many times stronger than before. After he was done practicing the Unyielding Sword, Yang Dingtian went back to the center of the Five Elements Hall and began another breathing session. He was going to spend five hours on it. To his disappointment, Yang Dingtian didnt have any breakthrough this time. Yes, not even a minor one like going from an intermediate to an advanced six star. That was how it was supposed to work. The more you use the same routine, the harder it would be to make progress. Yang Dingtian spent several hours to get from a five star to a six star Mystic Martial Artist, but after seven to eight days of being inside the Five Elements Hall, his rank only went up to about half a star. What about becoming a Great Mystic Martial Master, then? There were still fifteen levels before Yang Dingtian could become one, so how long would that take? Given how slow this was going, Yang Dingtian would probably have to take several months, or even one whole year, if he wanted to become a Great Mystic Martial Master inside the Five Elements Hall. That wouldnt do. That just wouldnt. A year from now on, Yang Dingtian would have to return to the Cloud Heaven City to fight in the Grand Tournament. He didnt have that much time to finish his business with Ximen Ju. And just exactly how powerful was Ximen Ju? At least a Martial Ancestor, thats how powerful he was! Since Yang Dingtian was a six star Mystic Martial Artist now, there were about forty levels, or four ranks, of a gap that he had to overcome in a short span of a whole year. Yang Dingtian did not have a lot of options here, but there were about three opportunities in which he could level himself up faster. One, he must at least become a Great Mystic Martial Master here in the Five Elements Hall. Two, he must learn the third stage of the Pig Slaying Sword Art. Three, he must find a Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame, then somehow craft his core flame with it. Crafting a core flame was probably the most troublesome bit. To be able to use a Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame, one must at least become a Martial Mystic first. And, as mentioned before, Yang Dingtian didnt have the luxury to grind his level up slowly. Becoming a Great Mystic Martial Master in one year was, by no means, something easy to do. If Yang Dingtian were somehow able to follow through, no one in this world would underestimate him anymore. But so what? Even if he became a Great Mystic Martial Master, Ximen Ju could still finish him in one hit. ***************** This time, after he was done with the breathing session, Yang Dingtian didnt return to his physical training. Instead, he decided to have a word with the stone giant guarding the Hall. Hey, giant, if you dont mind me calling me that. Could I ask you some questions? Yang Dingtian asked politely. Only if Im authorized to answer those questions, the mountain-sized thing opened its eye and replied. Yang Dingtian asked, If someone were to use this Five Elements Hall as a training base, how long would it take for him to, say, get from a five star Mystic Martial Artist to a Great Mystic Martial Master? Chapter 171: Extreme Tribulation, Breakthrough! Chapter 171: Extreme Tribulation, Breakthrough!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales If someone were to use this Five Elements Hall as a training base, how long would it take for him to, say, get from a five start Mystic Martial Artist to a Great Mystic Martial Master? Authorisation has been granted. I am permitted to answer your question, the stone giant responded, It is two years for those who are talented and one and a half years for those who are extremely talented! That didnt sound good to Yang Dingtian. From what he was hearing, one and a half years was still too long for him to achieve his goals. Well, how talented am I, then? Yang Dingtian inquired. Youre in the top 1 percentile, the stone giant replied as it placed its hand on top of Yang Dingtians head. So long would it take for me to become a Great Mystic Martial Master? Yang Dingtian persisted. One year, the stone giant replied after doing a bit of calculation. The fastest I can do is a year? Yang Dingtian asked. Yes, the stone giant confirmed, Theoretically, someone with a meridian in the top 1 percentile would take one year to level up from a six start Mystic Martial Artist to a Great Mystic Martial Master. Cant it be faster? Yang Dingtian asked. One year was just way too long for him. Not under usual circumstances, the stone giant answered. What about circumstances that arent usual, then? Yang Dingtian persisted, And what you mean by unusual circumstances? Death mode is what I meant by unusual circumstances. Death mode is meant to be a simulation of real combat. Those who enter the death mode will risk injury or death. If I go for that, how long would it take for me to become a Great Mystic Martial Master? Yang Dingtian asked. For those with extraordinary talents, it would take half a year if they dont die during the process, the stone giant replied. Half a year? If thats how long this would be, theres still not a lot of time for Yang Dingtian to finish his training. However, though, half a year would still give him some time to practice the third stage of the Pig Slaying Sword Art and find the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame. There was still a bit of hope left for him. Sure, thats fine. Give me the death mode right away, Yang Dingtian demanded. Are you certain? the stone giant asked, Warnings: the risks you will face in death mode are the same as that of real combat. Your opponents will not show any mercy. Are you certain that you will risk injury? Death, even? Im very certain! Yang Dingtian asserted. The stone giant responded, Please select your difficulty for entering death mode. You can choose between standard hard, intermediate hard, advanced hard, and extreme hard. Each level is 1.5 times faster than the one before it, meaning that the chance of you dying will be increased by 10% every time you increase your difficulty. From what the giant was saying, choosing standard hard would let Yang Dingtian become a Great Mystic Martial Master in half a year. If this number was to be put into the equation that was mentioned after, it was estimated that choosing extreme hard would let Yang Dingtian become a Great Mystic Martial Master in five months. What is the chance of me dying in standard hard? Yang Dingtian asked. 45%, the stone giant replied, to which Yang Dingtian was actually kind of relieved. By this logic, it would take a little more than five months for him to become a Great Mystic Martial Master. Well, not to mention that the chance of him dying would rise to 75% if you chose extreme hard here. By the way, what level do I have to be to get out of this secret realm? Yang Dingtian asked as he suddenly remembered the most important question. The stone giant replied, You must be at least a three star Great Mystic Martial Master to leave the sixth room of the golden palace. That is if you arent holding any weight on you. Too bad. Yang Dingtian thought he could leave as soon as he became a Great Mystic Martial Master. But no, he must spend a lot more time to attain three stars in his desired rank. Please select your difficulty, the stone giant reminded once more. Yang Dingtian grinded his teeth, Extreme mode. The stone giant stated, You have chosen extreme hard. The speed of your training is now increased by 15%. The chance of you dying is increased by 30%, and its now 75% in total. Please select again to confirm your choice. I select again, Yang Dingtian said. The stone giant said slowly as a bright light flashed across the entire hall, The Five Elements Hall secret realm will now increase its training difficulty to: extreme hard! Yang Dingtian hadnt seen anything unusual as of yet, but he definitely felt a chill at his back. It was like he was suddenly surrounded by danger in all directions. *********************** So thats what real combat mode was like. Before, Yang Dingtian could proceed with his training however he pleased, but now he had opponents to spar with. Not just any opponents, too. Whatever was waiting ahead, it was not going to show any mercy to him. Yang Dingtian headed towards the first room of the golden palace. Because of how nervous he was becoming, he had to take a long, deep breath before he opened the door. To his surprise, there wasnt anything inside the first room, where the mass was three times that of normal condition. Wait. What the hell? Yang Dingtian scratched his chin as he looked from outside the room, but everything changed when he took his first step in. Right after Yang Dingtian had made his entrance, a sharp light flashed across the room. A stone man then fell from the wall and charged right towards him. Unlike the stone giant outside, this stone man was only about two meters tall. It had one head, not three, and it was carrying a hammer in its hands. Trespassers! Kill him! The stone man shouted as it waved its hammer around. Yang Dingtian was a bit surprised to see that his training had already begun, but he didnt have much time to react, either. The stone man attacking him was very agile. It didnt even look like it was affected by the gravitational pressure here. Swish... From the power of this hammer swing, Yang Dingtian could tell that this stone man was on the same level as him. The only difference seemed was that Yang Dingtian was much slower due to the threefold gravity here. Swish swish swish... In just a few seconds, the stone man had already made more than ten strikes with its hammer. Yang Dingtian actually had no way to make a counterattack. With that in mind, the best he could do here was to keep jumping backward until he found an opening. But still. Under three times the normal gravity, Yang Dingtian couldnt jump back as fast as he wanted either. Just when he was about to move his legs, the hammer was already about to land on his face. Crap... Yang Dingtian raised his youngling sword to block the attack, but the hit was so devastating that it knocked him ten meters behind. Oof... One hit. It was just one hit, and Yang Dingtian was already spitting blood from his injury. He would like to keep on fighting, but his entire right arm went numb from blocking the attack. Damn this place, and damn this stone man. It was just as strong as Yang Dingtian, but not only was it three times faster than him, its attacks were also three times stronger due to the gravity here. In other words, Yang Dingtians ability was de-buffed 300%, but the stone man here was buffed by 300%! No wonder they called it extreme hard! Yang Dingtian was already injured in less than a minute. S~?a??h the N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. And just like the stone giant said, the stone man didnt show any mercy to Yang Dingtian. Just when Yang Dingtian was wiping the blood off his mouth, it was already running towards him again. Yang Dingtian had two choices here: he could either retreat from the deadly attacks he was facing. Or, he could choose to confront it directly. Needless to say, anyone with common sense would go with the former. However, Yang Dingtian made a different choice. Agh... While screaming towards the ceiling, Yang Dingtian moved his mystic qi around and stood still at where he was standing. He didnt intend to move at all, because even if he did, what would be the point? He clearly had no way to dodge the incoming attacks. As the stone man launched its attack, Yang Dingtian raised his youngling sword and swung as hard as he could. He wasnt trying to make a counterattack at the very least. If anything, it was more of an attempt to parry away the hits. Unyielding and indestructible... Dang. A loud clash followed by Yang Dingtian spitting another mouthful of blood. He flinched for a bit, then took another few steps backward. The stone man, on the other hand, didnt feel the need to take a break. It was still coming at Yang Dingtian, giving him no chance to adjust himself. Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang. Yang Dingtian had to block every hit with his Unyielding Sword technique. He wanted to save his energy, but he just couldnt afford to do that. After blocking thirty hits with Unyielding Sword, Yang Dingtians entire body was covered in blood. The muscles in his hands were splitting up, and he was forced to take another twenty steps backward. There wasnt any mystic qi left in his body. Unbelievable! Yang Dingtian had to spend four days to use up all his mystic qi before, but it took no time for this stone man to force out all that energy from him. At this stage, blocking thirty strikes was about the most Yang Dingtian could do. Kill the intruder, the stone man shouted as it readied its hammer. Like all the hits before, it was trying to aim for Yang Dingtians head. Unyielding and indestructible... Yang Dingtian chanted as he used his final bit of strength. Dang. Suddenly, an intense force was plunged inside Yang Dingtians body, almost ripping his organs and meridians apart. To Yang Dingtians surprise, however, his life wasnt quite over yet. Somehow, while its owner was clinging onto his dear life, the youngling sword in Yang Dingtians hand generated a streak of qi and parried the stone mans attack. That being said, this qi wasnt powerful enough to make the stone man retreat, but it at least gave Yang Dingtian an opening to make his escape. Having seized this opportunity, Yang Dingtian ran out of the room and came back to the center of the Five Elements Hall. He knew the stone man wasnt going to chase him if he got out of the training room. And just like he expected. As soon as Yang Dingtian went out of the golden palace, the stone man immediately stopped pursuing him. With his life spared once again, Yang Dingtian came to the center of the hall and sat down for a rest. He opened his ring of storage and reached for Ning Nings pill. Ning Nings pill really worked like magic. Yang Dingtian felt like his body was falling apart, but after swallowing the medicine, he could feel a warm energy, swarming through his inside and washing away the pain. After the healing was complete, Yang Dingtian grabbed onto his 150 kg youngling sword and stared at it in awe. As its creator, Yang Dingtian knew his youngling sword didnt have any meridian crystal or seal soul crystal in it. But if that were true, there should be no way that it could store mystic qi inside of it. Yet, if that was the case, how did this thing shoot out qi just then? It happened very quickly, but Yang Dingtian could swear he saw that happening in front of him. And why did this sword decide to do that? It was technically a newborn baby, so it shouldnt have the intelligence to save its masters life. There were simply too many questions to ask here. Yang Dingtian had felt it before. He knew this youngling sword had some kind of soul inside of it. That soul might have a very unstructured form to it, but it was capable of forming thoughts and reflexive actions. Oddly enough, it was capable of doing something that complex in its fetal form. Yang Dingtian was thinking of treating it just as a sword before. Now, he was thinking of treating it as a living being, a family member related by blood. Maybe Ill name you after your look. Lets call you Ugly from now on, how about that? Yang Dingtian said, to which the youngling swords soul was moving around in a very volatile way. From Yang Dingtians perspective, however, it was unclear whether this reaction was meant to convey approval or disapproval. Meh, whatever, Yang Dingtian shrugged his shoulders, Whether you like it or not, Your name is Ugly from now on. If you have a problem with it, go tell me about it when you become a soul sword. Having named his own youngling sword Ugly, Yang Dingtian resumed to his breathing session. He was very familiar with the process now, so it didnt take long for him to wait for the mystic qi around him to travel into his starved qi vessel. An hour later. Yang Dingtian suddenly felt a slight bloat in his qi vessel. He just ranked up from a six star intermediate Mystic Martial Artist to an advanced Mystic Martial Artist. Three hours later! The mystic qi inside Yang Dingtians body was starting to move very rapidly. As a consequence of this, his qi vessel was also expanding in size. A white ray of light struck across Yang Dingtians body. And just like before, Yang Dingtians senses entered into a temporary rest because of this. After thirty seconds, Yang Dingtian regained control of his body. His meridian and qi vessel, too, were starting to flow once more. Another breakthrough! Yang Dingtian couldnt believe it, but spending half an hour doing extreme hard training was enough for him to become a seven star Mystic Martial Artist. It was kind of hard to believe since he had just spent about eight hours to make the same progress before. This secret realm was really full of surprises. Yang Dingtian continued on his breathing session. His meridian and qi vessel were now emptied again, and they were desperately absorbing qi from the air around them. This time, however, it took at least four hours for Yang Dingtian to fill up his meridian and qi vessel. When Yang Dingtian was done with his breathing session, he saw that his qi vessel was not enlarged in any war, nor did he have another breakthrough. ************************* Yang Dingtian said to his youngling sword, Ugly, Lets do this again. That stone man did me pretty bad before, but well see if the same thing happens this time. It was about ten hours since Yang Dingtian was almost killed inside the golden palace. Having replenished himself up, he was ready to enter the first room again. All trespassers will be eliminated. They will be eliminated unconditionally! As the stone man fell from the golden palaces wall, it started charging right towards Yang Dingtian with its hammer. Yang Dingtian was going to respond in the same fashion as before. This time, however, he could feel that his youngling sword was much lighter. Dang And the attack wasnt as impactful now. Before, blocking one hit was already enough to send Yang Dingtian flying from where he was standing. Now, the same attack was just enough to make his hands flinch. If anything, the stone man was the one who had to move. Yang Dingtian was bouncing off the attack so hard that its legs started trembling. So thats the difference between a six star and a seven star Mystic Martial Artist. Yang Dingtian actually had the upper hand now, and it was he who had to show no mercy to his opponent. Unyielding and indestructible... Unyielding and indestructible... Unyielding and indestructible... Yang Dingtian wasnt changing his tactic. With every Unyielding Sword he was using, his swing came harder and harder at the stone man in front of him. Eventually, the attack became so overwhelming that the stone man started stepping back. Break! Yang Dingtian asserted his dominance at the stone man. Bang. While its unclear what the hammer was made of, Yang Dingtian was able to destroy it with one decisive strike. After that, he dissected all four limbs off the stone mans body, leaving its upper body to fall to the ground. After that, Yang Dingtian knocked out its head with the Pig Slaying Sword Art, sending the stone mans skull a room away from the rest of its body. Clatter Clatter Clatter. After being completely destroyed, both the stone mans remains and its hammer were shattered into dust, which then vanished after a breeze came across the room. Nothing less of a seven star Mystic Martial Artist. In less than a few minutes, Yang Dingtian was able to turn the table around against his opponent, which essentially marked the end of his first trial inside the golden palace. Since Yang Dingtian still had more mystic qi inside him, he decided to check what the second room was like. He knew that the gravity would be nine times heavier than usual in the second room. Just what enemies were waiting for him here, though, they were still unknown to him. Chapter 172: Wicked BOSS, Invisible Killer! Chapter 172: Wicked BOSS, Invisible Killer!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Things werent looking too good for Yang Dingtian. He just got used to being under three times the normal gravity before, and now he was going to handicap himself for another threefold. Well, lets see just how powerful the boss was inside the second room of the golden palace. Having taken a deep, nervous breath, Yang Dingtian made his entrance into the room ahead of him. Hugh... The youngling sword inside Yang Dingtians hand became about 1.5 tons. The pressure on his body was so overwhelming that even breathing was painful. Instead of the stone man before, it was a silver robot that fell out of the wall this time. The weapon it was holding was a giant sword, not a hammer. Most importantly, its speed was just as fast as the stone man, even when the gravity was nine times heavier than usual. Death to trespassers! The silver robot cried as it leaped towards Yang Dingtian. Unyielding and indestructible... Yang Dingtian chanted and raised his youngling sword to block the robots attack. Clang. Oh, crap... Yang Dingtian cursed as he was sent flying from the second room all the way back to the main hall. His arms. His chests. Even his meridian. All the nerves and muscles inside his body felt like they were tearing up into tiny shreds. On a good note, however, since he was knocked out so far away this time, there wasnt a need to form an escape plan. One hit! Thats all it took for Yang Dingtian to be defeated by the second boss of the golden palace. He had expected a powerful enemy waiting ahead of him, but he didnt think that he was going to be played around like an ant. As the dying Yang Dingtian lay at the center of the main hall, the stone giant opened its eye and grabbed him with its hand. The trainee is injured for a second time! I will now commence checking if hes alive or not. The trainee is still alive. There is still a point to save him. Once again, the three-headed giant opened up its chest, picked up the dying Yang Dingtian, and drowned him in the magical green pool inside its body. ************************ Oddly enough, it took about five hours for Yang Dingtian to heal up this time completely. Perhaps that just showed how scary Dugu Fengwu really was. The wound she inflicted on Yang Dingtian might seem rather small, but a clean shot to the chest could be much more devastating than having all your muscles split up. Thank you so much... Yang Dingtian said to the three-headed giant as he was placed back to the ground, but the giant didnt respond back. Instead, it simply closed its eye and returned to being a statue. Seeing that no more should be said, Yang Dingtian grabbed his youngling sword and came to the hall center for another breathing session. One hour. S?a??h th? Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Two hours. Three hours. After five hours, Yang Dingtian could feel his qi vessel shaking and stretching out again. He was leveling up to become a seven star intermediate Mystic Martial Artist. Without waiting any further, after leveling himself up, Yang Dingtian decided to go straight back inside the second room of the golden palace. Its not like he had forgotten the feeling of being taken down in one hit. Apparently, that was clearly not the case here. As the famous line goes, Why would you visit a mountain that was full of tigers? Well, to see the tigers, of course! With the same spirit in mind, Yang Dingtian made no hesitation in returning to the golden palace with his youngling sword in hand. That being said, though, he did hesitate for a bit before actually stepping inside the second room. Im ready now, Yang Dingtian said to himself before he made his way in. Just as predicted, the moment Yang Dingtian came inside, the silver robot started charging towards him with the ferocity of a bear. No, a mountain actually, and it was dropping right on top of Yang Dingtians skull again. Not this time! Yang Dingtian screamed as he blocked the incoming strike with his sword. Clang. Oof... Just like before, Yang Dingtian was sent flying back to the center of the Five Elements Hall. His injuries were still pretty bad this time, but least he didnt lose consciousness. The three-headed giant opened its eye again, The trainee is injured for the third time. He is still breathing. There is still value in rescuing him! And time for another bath. *************************** This time, it only took about two hours for Yang Dingtian to stay inside the magical green pool. Yang Dingtian came to the center of the hall again. There was still quite a bit of mystic qi left inside of him, but he had hoped to make a breakthrough with another breathing session. Disappointingly, no progress was made after an hour of Yang Dingtians breathing session. He tried filling in all the qi he could inside his vessel, but absolutely nothing happened. If Yang Dingtian kept going back to the silver robot like this, it would be the same end all over again. After all, he couldnt even get close to blocking that monsters sword. With that in mind, Yang Dingtian wasnt going back to the golden palace again. It wasnt because he was afraid of failure, and nor was it because he had lost his motivation. If anything, really, he just wasnt the kind to waste his time. He was fine with having his flesh torn up, but what would be the trade-off of that? Its not like his qi would just boost up if he kept trying to kill himself. Something had to change here. Whatever Yang Dingtian was going to do next, he must try not to waste any more time. My God, Im stupid, Yang Dingtian cursed as he slapped himself on the side of his face. With all these rooms around him, why was he only going inside the golden palace? Come to think of it, Yang Dingtian didnt spend any time to try out the fire palace. He didnt try out ice, either, or thunder or wind. No matter which element he chose, Yang Dingtian knew that they were all equally difficult. Logically speaking, though, every palaces first room should be easier than the second room he just went in. If Yang Dingtian could finish the first room in every palace, it could be possible that he could go back to fight that ridiculously strong robot in the golden palace. ************************* So now, which element should Yang Dingtian pick first? Lets do it with a process of elimination. Thunder would definitely be a no-no here. Not only was it the strangest and the scariest among the five elements, but it was also too rare to have any worth in practicing with it. Most humans, or beasts, even, wouldnt have thunder as their element type. Without exceptions, all the meridians in this world had to belong to either Yin or Yang. Once the grouping was made, the meridians were then divided into five elements. In other words: fire, wind, gold, ice, and thunder. The element fire would only be found in those who possessed Yang meridians, and the same applied to ice and Yin meridian. Wind and gold, however, were much more complicated. Basically, it was possible to develop gold with a Yang meridian, and its also possible to develop wind with a Yin meridian. While this was the typical case for most individuals, there were definitely exceptions that didnt follow the general principles. Not to mention thunder! As rare as it was to find in the natural world, no one could explain the rules behind this element. For the same reason, this was also why thunder was considered to be in the same category as darkness and psychic. Thunder. Darkness. Psychic. Since the chance of bearing them was about as rare as finding a needle in the ocean, they were all considered to be in the rare category of the elements. These elements also had another similarity, and that was that the powers they represent were all extremely unformidable. Take Ximen Ningning, for example. As a psychic type, she able to constrain four enemies at once with her mystic technique. Yang Dingtian didnt know how ridiculous it actually was when he first saw it, but he certainly understood now. After thinking to himself many times over, Yang Dingtian came to a simple conclusion: whoever Ximen Ningning really was, she was more than just Ximen Wuyas adopted daughter. The secrets hidden behind her, including her real identity, were definitely something that was enough to shock the whole world. ************************ So, back to the story. Yang Dingtian had to pick from four elements to continue on his training. With his Nine Yang Mystic Meridian, Yang Dingtian definitely had the most advantage if he chose ice. The more the advantage, however, the less the reward. Choosing an element he was strong against was not likely to help him improve. Fire, on the other hand, would be a direct counter against Yang Dingtian. What about thunder, then? Actually, its too bizarre to have any use in real fights. Thus, having taken other options out of the equation, Yang Dingtian decided to continue with the wind, which was represented by the colorless door. As he made his way inside the first secret room of the wind palace, Yang Dingtian widened his eyes and scanned very cautiously around him. Strangely enough, there wasnt any sign of danger that he could see. There wasnt any stone man that was trying to kill him, either. Um, what is this? Yang Dingtian said to himself without letting down his guard. He still couldnt see anything after waiting for thirty seconds, and it was completely silent the whole time. Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh. Suddenly, a very sharp blade came piercing through Yang Dingtians skin. He was aware of it coming at him before it had made contact, but the speed was simply too fast to guard against it. In less than a second, there were about tens of different cuts across Yang Dingtians body. If he werent wearing his Deep Sea Mystic Clothes right now, his whole upper body wouldve been sliced into small chunks on the spot. As bad as it already seemed, Yang Dingtian still couldnt locate his enemy. He couldnt even see what kind of weapon it was using. The difference in speed was just too much. Yang Dingtian had to take all the hits that were thrown at him, but his rate of missing was at a full 100 percent. The only thing he was able to make contact with was either himself or the air around him. Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh... Another few strikes that all went right at Yang Dingtians back. He wasnt even fast enough to look behind him. The most he could to do was to use his youngling sword to poke at where he thought the enemy was. Ha ha ha ha... A crisp voice echoed across the room. Yang Dingtian missed again. It went on like this for a while. Even after being hit for about a hundred times, Yang Dingtian still couldnt touch his enemy once with his youngling sword. Thankfully, the damage he was taking was nowhere as serious as that the from the silver robot, otherwise he wouldve dropped dead within a blink of an eye. Yet, Yang Dingtian was still in pretty bad shape here. He tried standing still for about an hour, and he couldnt get close to doing anything to the invisible thing that was toying with him. Just how sadistic was the person who designed this challenge? Five hours had passed. Apart from the part that was covered by his Deep Sea Mystic Clothes, there was not a piece of Yang Dingtians flesh that remained untouched. What about his enemy, then? Lets just say that all ten thousand swings had failed to make a scrape. Yang Dingtian was using the Formless Sword, by the way, and it was a direct counter against wind element. Needless to say, Yang Dingtian was both infuriated and exhausted. Since there was not much mystic qi left inside of him, he had to leave the wind palace without having done anything. Since his injuries were all quite minor, it only took about two hours for Yang Dingtian to heal up inside the stone giants chest. After he was done, he went back to the center of the main hall for another breathing session. Hopefully, it wouldnt be long until his next breakthrough. Chapter 173: Complementing One Another!

N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Once again, reality had managed to find a way to disappoint Yang Dingtian. He didnt have any breakthrough in this breathing session. Why? What did I do wrong? Yang Dingtian moaned. It wasnt just that he wasnt making any progress with leveling up, he was also nowhere close to beating that first boss in the wind palace. Basically, Yang Dingtian was stuck. What do I do, Ugly? Yang Dingtian said to his youngling sword, but it didnt give him a response. Since it wasnt capable of speech, the most it could do was to empathize with its owner in silence. The obvious option would be choosing another palace. If Yang Dingtian wanted to, he could even just pick the element ice, which he would theoretically have the most advantage with. Or, Yang Dingtian could find some courage and go with the hard option. Choosing the first room of the wind palace over the golden palace was somewhat of a strategic decision, but there was just no excuse for picking ice. Yang Dingtian didnt like being a coward. There had to be some other way. Yang Dingtian was sure of it. Even the hardest difficulties have some kind of winning strategy to it; otherwise, there wouldnt be a point in designing it. Suddenly, a thought came to Yang Dingtians mind. He just realized how monotone his thinking was. Its not that he could use only the Unyielding Sword in the golden palace. By the same logic, it wasnt like he could use only the Formless Sword in the wind palace. He could be creative. Yang Dingtian used the Formless Sword in the wind palace, and how did that turn out for him? A total failure, thats how it turned out. Speed was clearly the main issue here, so where would be a good place to practice his speed? Why, the super heavy gravitational pull inside the golden palace, of course. Yang Dingtian would definitely be a lot faster if he practiced his Formless Sword there. Having come up with a solution, Yang Dingtian grabbed his youngling sword and headed straight towards the first room of the golden palace. To Yang Dingtians surprise, the stone man reappeared as soon as he made his way in. Weird, Yang Dingtian said to himself. He clearly remembered decimating this puppet the last time he saw it. What the hell? So the golden palace would reset itself if Yang Dingtian went to another palace. Is that whats happening here? A trespasser has been discovered. I shall now eliminate him! The stone man shouted as it swung its hammer at Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian raised his arms to defend with Unyielding Sword but quickly changed his mind as he realized how easy that would be. If the point of coming here was practice the Formless Sword, he might as well use the Formless Sword his entire way here. So be it. It wasnt like Yang Dingtian had mastered the Formless Sword anyway. The speed of this technique was ridiculously fast, but the power of it was pretty much pathetic. Clang. Despite being under three times the normal gravity, Yang Dingtian could still block the attack relatively easily with the Formless Sword. It was nowhere as sturdy as the Unyielding Sword, though. Yang Dingtian had no problem with blocking the attack, but the impact of it was still enough to make blood cough out of his mouth. After taking several steps backward, Yang Dingtian could see that the stone man was already coming at him again. Formless Sword... Yang Dingtian chanted and struck at the stone man. He was quick enough to dodge its hammer, but the piercing wind still left a mark on the side of his face. Dang. A clear hit to the stone mans chest. Even under three times the normal gravity, the Formless Sword was still fast enough for Yang Dingtian to deliver a swift counterattack. Needless to say, a maneuver like this wouldnt be possible with the Unyielding Sword. Lets make the most out of this. As Yang Dingtian began to accelerate, his body became this invisible shadow that was darting across the room. It was just like when he was inside the wind palace, except it was he who was on the offensive now. The stone man stood with absolutely no chance. It wasnt just his legs or the hammer. Even his eyes couldnt follow the movements that were coming in from all the directions. It was ten times. A hundred times. A thousand times! Yang Dingtian kept hitting the stone man with his Formless Sword, and five hours later, there was not a part of it that remained intact. Some were just shallow cuts. Others were much deeper. As weak as this technique was, Yang Dingtian still managed to take down the stone man with just the Formless Sword. Come to think of it, the Formless Sword was really not as efficient as he had wanted it to be. Five hours and one thousand hits, not to mention that he had used all his mystic qi, and it was still not enough to completely finish his enemy. As disappointing it was, the stone man was pretty much defeated by now. It wouldnt be long before Yang Dingtian was going to have another breathing session down at the hall center. One more hit, Yang Dingtian thought to himself, If I still cant finish this thing, lets just end this once and for all. Then, with a twist of his body, Yang Dingtian came behind the stone man like a serpent and slid his blade under its throat. He was still using the Formless Sword. After five hours of repeatedly releasing this technique, Yang Dingtian was starting to have a much more extensive understanding of it beyond its basic forms. Phew... Yang Dingtian flew to the exit as there was not a bit of qi left inside of him. That was really meant to be his final attack. The stone man was still standing right at where it was. And suddenly, a few seconds after Yang Dingtian had used his final Formless Sword, its head started sliding off from the rest of its body. Crack. As the head was smashed into tiny pieces as it fell on the ground, the rest of the stone mans body, too, began to vanish along with it. Yang Dingtian had managed to destroy the stone man for a second time. As it turned out, the Formless Sword was still a deadly art if you just keep using it. Yeah, just keep spamming the same attack over and over again. Yang Dingtian felt exhausted as hell when he was walking back to have his breathing session, but well, you couldnt gain without going through pain, right? As he sat in an upright position, Yang Dingtian could feel an endless stream of qi flooding through his meridian and into his qi vessel. It was like an ocean had filled up his internal well, and after six hours of it channeling through his body, only the purest essence was left and remained. No breakthrough this time. Or, so Yang Dingtian thought. After a few seconds of static motion inside Yang Dingtians qi vessel, the qi that was absorbed in suddenly started kicking in and out. It was expanding, stretching out in a way that even the container holding was starting to change its shape. A flash of white light. After which Yang Dingtian lost his consciousness and entered into a temporary state of rest. Both his meridian and qi vessel, too, were shut off for a few seconds. Once Yang Dingtian regained consciousness, he could see that he had leveled up from a senior seven star to a novice eight star. In other words, he did have a breakthrough just now. As it turned out, simply fighting the secret realms boss wasnt enough. To actually attain a big breakthrough, youd have to destroy it. ... After making the necessary preparations, it was now time to retry the Formless Sword inside the wind palace. But before that, Yang Dingtian needed to get some sleep. As far as he could tell, he wasnt taking any break from his training at least over the last ten days. It wasnt like he remained awake every time he was inside the magical green pool, but the time he spent in it was nowhere close enough for a quality rest, both physically and mentally. While using his youngling sword as a body pillow, Yang Dingtian lay on the ground and slept for about ten hours. He wanted to be in his best condition before re-entering the wind palace. And so he did. After he had woken up, Yang Dingtian was feeling much better than before. Arguably more than ever, even. Having regained his vigor, Yang Dingtian walked to the entrance of the wind palace and took a deep breath. It was time for vengeance. After the doors were pushed open, Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and stepped inside. Once he entered, he immediately closed his eyes before he used his entire concentration to sense the obstructing invisible killer. Swish... As expected, it had arrived. Before its blade could strike at Yang Dingtian, a chilling intent had already surged over in advance. Yang Dingtian rapidly slashed in the reverse direction. Clang... Yang Dingtian blocked its blade ahead of time. He rushed over suddenly and stabbed with the sword in his hand, towards the wielder of the blade. Yang Dingtians sword was already extremely fast, several times faster than the time he was in the golden element palace. But he was still late. That invisible killer was like a wind that drifted away and had completely vanished from Yang Dingtians senses again. Yang Dingtian wasnt in a hurry. His eyes were still closed as he waited for the invisible killer to attack again. As expected, in just half a minute later, Yang Dingtian felt a chill at his crotch as that invisible and horrific sharp blade had directly sliced at his lower body. Yang Dingtians sword was like a lightning bolt that thrust towards the ground. Ahh... A sharp and miserable shriek could be heard. A womans figure appeared on the ground. Yang Dingtian had stabbed onto the invisible killer, but his inner thigh was also sliced viciously. It was just less than an inch away from his important part at the lower body. It was a woman that was entirely naked, and she had hair that was at the waist-length. She was very skinny and very bewitching. Of course, she wasnt a real woman but merely a shadow. But, this shadow could kill, could injure. It was as if she was a woman that was made purely from energy. Huff... After suffering injury, that woman quickly turned into a gray shadow. Like the wind, the shadow flew away from under Yang Dingtians body and vanished without a trace. The entire room had fallen back into silence, and that invisible woman had vanished once again. Yang Dingtian closed his eyes and waited for her to make a move again. Half a minute had passed. One minute. Five minutes. This banshee still hadnt made a move. It was a game of chicken. Suddenly, Yang Dingtian felt a chill on his neck. It seemed that he was the more patient one here. So the target was his neck. Yang Dingtian wasnt sure when, but a sword was going to be struck towards his front. His prediction was right. At a little over a fraction of second, Yang Dingtian could see a blade appearing in front of him from a slightly low angle. Or so it seemed. Strangely, the hit that came was much slower than it should be. Yang Dingtian knew how fast the banshee was, so why would it take more than 0.1 seconds for it to throw an attack at him? Without going for defense, Yang Dingtian ignored the blade in front of him and struck behind. No decoy tactic was going to fool him. Gah... A terrible shriek came from behind. Yang Dingtian had hit the jackpot. So thats what it was. The blade this banshee was using was aerodynamic, which meant that it was going to revert from whatever position she threw it from. This sly thing wasnt going for an attack on the front. She was throwing her boomerang blade from Yang Dingtians back, letting it fly back towards him, and in the meantime, she was trying to deliver the finishing blow from where the guard was the most vulnerable. Behind Yang Dingtian, essentially. Smart, but not that smart, as it turned out. As Yang Dingtian had seen right through her dirty little tricks, the banshee finally revealed its unsightly looks for the first time. So the blades werent her only weapon. Even with a giant blade pinning through her, the banshee was still trying to slash at Yang Dingtians skull with its terrible, long nails. Not only that, but she was also desperately looking for a second chance to retreat by turning herself into the wind. As if Yang Dingtian was going to let her do that. No, even if it meant taking a stab from behind, there was no way Yang Dingtian was going to play tag for a second time. Contrary to what the name suggested, the Formless Sword was perfectly capable of trapping its target. Whenever the banshee tried to slip away, the countless swings Yang Dingtian was throwing knocked her back for another beatdown. It was ten times. A thousand times. Ten thousand times! Formless Sword! Formless Sword! Formless Sword! Yang Dingtian was dominating the entire time, but he just couldnt let his guard down. One opening, even just for a split second, and it was going to be a round two all over again. He would be completely out of qi by then. Circling. Surrounding. Chipping. Cutting. Gah...! The banshee kept on wailing. The struggling never paused for even a moment, but her speed kept on slowing down every time there was a new wound. Chapter 174: Dual Layers of Ice and Fire! Chapter 174: Dual Layers of Ice and Fire!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales With every slash of Yang Dingtians blade, the invisible banshee body became even more transparent by the seconds. It was probably a sign of how her existence was gradually, but surely, being eradicated. Ten more. Ten more hits and this will be over for you, Yang Dingtian thought to himself. Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish. In just a split second, Yang Dingtian had struck nine times with his blade at the banshee. She was practically invisible by this point. One more hit! Thats all it took. Yang Dingtian just had to spend his very last bit of mystic qi to destroy this banshee completely. Or so he had thought. Just before she was about to be exterminated, the banshee glared at Yang Dingtian with her eyes wide than ever before. Die. Die. Ill take you with me... She scowled, then transformed herself into a dim, grey speck of light. It was a desperate move. The final attempt before her eventual death, apparently. As weakened as she was, the banshees attacks could still be quite lethal if she concentrated her powers into just a small area. And thats what she was trying to do. By putting herself in her spiritualized form, the banshee turned herself into a beam that was targeted right towards Yang Dingtians head. If she made her way into Yang Dingtians head like this, the consequences could be dire. Yang Dingtians first reaction was to defend with his Formless Sword but quickly chose to finish with his Prison Break Sword, a technique he had rarely used before. It would be cool to use just one technique in an entire five-hour fight, but Yang Dingtian didnt think the Formless Sword was strong enough to withstand the desperate last cry of a banshee. With Prison Break Sword unleashed, a mysterious shadow emerged from the blade of Yang Dingtians youngling sword. After that, it quickly wrapped itself around the banshee and crushed her up. Gah... The banshee shrieked as her entire body shattered into countless sparks of light. Since there was still a bit of life in her, Yang Dingtian decided to deliver the killing blow with his Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword, which at the same time, deployed all the mystic qi that was left inside of him. With his stamina completely drained out, Yang Dingtian dragged himself back to the center of the hall for another breathing session. It was the same sensation all over again. Yang Dingtian could feel the endless streams of qi entering and filling up his meridian, which then flew into his qi vessel and gradually began to reduce in size. Slowly, slowly, slowly. Once the qi had made its way into the qi vessel, it began to reduce into smaller, yet more concentrated units. After ten hours of filling it up, the qi vessel inside Yang Dingtians body was completely full. Afterward, a white flash appeared and took away all his senses, forcing his body into a temporary state of rest. Yang Dingtian just had another breakthrough, and it was a big one at that. He went straight from an eight star intermediate, eight star senior, all way to becoming a nine star Mystic Martial Artist. He was very close to becoming a Mystic Martial Master. There really was a lot to learn from this secret realm. With the wrong training method, you can do any hard work, you can try risking your life, even then, you wont get anywhere in making progress. On the other hand, the right training method would help you to exceed far beyond your potentials, and you can make the same amount of improvement as you would in a lifetime of training under normal conditions. After being knocked out two times, Yang Dingtian knew he wasnt going back to the golden palace. There just wasnt a point in going back and get his body beat up by the silver robot in the second room. Choosing the fire palace, on the other hand, seemed like a much more worthy option here. After taking one step in the room inside the fire palace, Yang Dingtian could feel an immense heat from all directions. Every part, every corner, every inch of this place, was burnt as they had just come out of a volcano. Yang Dingtian had to cover himself up in qi to prevent getting hurt by the hundred-degree air around him. Suddenly, a monster fell out of the wall. Its charcoal-dark body was completely covered in flame, but there was no sign of it being in any kind of pain. S?a??h the ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Regardless of the hooves on its legs, its bat-like face and the turned horns on its head, this monster was actually quite similar to a human. Well, in the sense that it had two arms and stood on two legs. It was a fire yasha. Yang Dingtian knew the mystic beast. It belonged to one of the many existing man-beast species. As speaking of which, the fire yasha was also known for its cruelness and quick wits. Welcome, human! The yasha waved its weapon towards Yang Dingtian, Your heart must be very delicious. Ill make sure to enjoy it after Ive had my fun with you. From what it looked like, the fire yasha was wielding a whip that was tens of meters long as its weapon. It was very good at using it, too, judging from how flexibly it was lashing the thing despite green flame burning all over it. Inferno Sky Sword! Yang Dingtian shouted towards the streak of green flame circling on top of his head, and a pile of red flame came out of his youngling sword to deflect the incoming attacks pressing down on him. Apart from looking for a chance to strike, Yang Dingtian also had to keep covering his body up with the Inferno Sky Sword. Needless to say, this was a very qi-consuming tactic to fight with. Since the flame was materialized purely from his internal energy, Yang Dingtian wouldve to spend more than ten times the qi he wouldve used to perform a normal mystic technique. Still, fighting this way was way less wasteful than performing a single mystic technique. With the two twirling flames pushing each other off, Yang Dingtian could feel the heat around him rising. From rough estimation, it went from just about fifty degrees to several thousand degrees in less than a minute. Unlike Yang Dingtian, the fire yasha was thoroughly enjoying the temperature. Since it was already a fire element mystic beast, turning qi into the fire was already embedded into its instinct. Creating green flames was like snapping a finger to it. Despite the environmental disadvantage, Yang Dingtians rank was still a bit higher than this yasha. He could still match himself against it for about thirty minutes or so. After that, he had no choice but to let the red flame slowly die out. Once he had hit the thirty-minute mark, Yang Dingtian could feel an intense burn on his skin. It was a hundred degrees. No, two hundred degrees. This wont do. There had to be some other way. Just when Yang Dingtian was about to leave the room, the yasha lashed out its snakelike whip and wrapped it around his head. Pig Slaying Sword Art: The one strike to the throat. With a twist of his wrist, Yang Dingtian pointed his sword towards the center of the flame circle above him. Pig Slaying Sword Art: Cleaning the intestines. With his weapon moving in a circular movement, Yang Dingtian was able to tie yashas whip into a bunch of tangled lines. Yang Dingtian jumped straight towards the exit, but just when he did so, the whip grew about several meters longer and struck at him from behind. Agh... Yang Dingtian groaned at the sting at his back. Even though he had made his escape, the whip still got him by the neck and inflicted a wound that was deep to the bones. Damn. So it didnt matter which element Yang Dingtian chose. Whatever trial he had decided to enter into, the boss waiting for him would always have an insane amount of home advantage at hand. Since Yang Dingtians injury was rather light this time, it only took about less than half an hour for him to heal up inside the giants chest. He went for another breathing session after that, but just as he had thought, there wasnt even the slightest breakthrough in his mystic qi. To put it simply, getting yourself beat up would not make you have any improvement in this secret realm. After he had refilled his mystic qi, the first thing Yang Dingtian decided to do was to head to the ice palace. There was only one reason to do so, and that was to practice his Prison Break Sword technique. Oh Go- Ah-choo... Yang Dingtian sneezed as he took his first step in. It was super cold in the room. Like so cold, that even time itself was frozen still here. Worst yet, the whole area was covered in white snow, meaning that visibility was virtually zero. Judging from rough estimation, Yang Dingtian could tell that the temperature here was about negative forty degrees. If it werent for his Nine Yang Mystic Meridian, he wouldve had to guard his entire body in mystic qi like most human beings. Suddenly, a thin layer of ice fell from the wall in front of Yang Dingtian. And as soon as it fell on the ground, a chilling breeze went by and blew it into a statue of a naked woman. Hello stranger, are you here to play with me? The ice woman spoke. Yang Dingtian had never heard a voice so crisp and brittle before. Its so cold here, mister! Could you warm me up with your blood? The ice woman asked with a seductive smile, but her eyes were as cold as death itself. Swoosh swoosh swoosh. Like a butterfly stretching its wings, there were countless shards of ice coming out of the ice womans body, and there was absolutely no hiding spot in this room. It was a pretty fancy way of attacking. Pretty cruel, too, at the same time. If it were anyone else who was entering this trial, the shards wouldve scrunched them up like a school of piranhas. The cuts wouldve chipped away an entire person from the skins to the marrows of their ribs. The incoming blades completely covered Yang Dingtian. He didnt defend himself in any way, nor did he try to move from where he was standing. Ha ha ha... The ice woman giggled as she slowly began to retreat her shards, Bye-bye now, stranger. It isnt much, but Ill still thank you for the blood youve given me. Its going to make me ju~st a little warmer than before. Oh, yes. More delicious blood... The ice woman widened her large, watery eyes while the shards flew back to her body, but something wasnt right. Yang Dingtian was still alive. Actually, there wasnt a single scratch on his body. No! How is that possible? The ice woman gasped, her voice was no longer as soothing and crisp as before. To be honest, even Yang Dingtian didnt know that it was going to be this easy with his Nine Yang Mystic Meridian. He knew he had the advantage from the start, but to take no damage at all? There really was a first time for everything. That being said, Yang Dingtian might as well make the most out of this experience. Inferno Sky Sword, Yang Dingtian shouted, and the youngling sword in his hand started glowing red. There wasnt any flame coming out of it, though. Its just that the blade was changing its color. Yang Dingtian charged towards the ice woman, but strangely, the ice woman wasnt moving at all. She simply stood still as Yang Dingtian plunged his sword right into her chest. Needless to say, the hit wouldve shattered the ice woman into pieces. As it turned out, however, that didnt matter too much. Hmm, mmm. The ice woman smiled as her body slowly broke and fell on the ground. A cold breeze came by. Then, after blowing the broken pieces back together, the ice woman was in her complete form once again. Chapter 175: Instant Kill, Breakthrough! Fatal Thunder Element… Chapter 175: Instant Kill, Breakthrough! Fatal Thunder Element...Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Despite being quite shocked by what he was looking at, Yang Dingtian didnt hesitate to use his Inferno Sky Sword on the ice womans head. Smash. Again, it was a clean hit that knocked off the ice womans entire body off. Not that it was effective in any way, though. Pretty soon, another breeze came by blew her back into her original shape. Ha ha ha... The ice woman threw a mysterious look at Yang Dingtian. Was she immune to all physical attacks? Yang Dingtian didnt think that was the case, so he just kept swinging harder with his youngling sword. It was her chest, her neck, her waist, and both of her legs. Whatever vital spots Yang Dingtian could think of, he immediately struck each of them at least ten times over. S?a??h th? N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Not surprisingly, it was the same results over and over again. Yang Dingtian smashed his enemy into pieces, and the pieces kept coming back together. My turn now, stranger. The ice woman suddenly spoke in a seductive voice. Afterward, she let out a sharp shriek towards the ceiling and vanished into the air. But wait. It wasnt like she was gone or anything. Instead of remaining in her original form, the ghastly thing had split herself up into tiny snow particles floating around the air. From what it looked like, these particles were forming into the shape of a mouth, and the size of it was just enough to swallow a whole person. Inferno Sky Sword! Yang Dingtian injected all his qi into his youngling sword, and a giant flame came out of his hand. It wasnt getting any hotter here, though. If anything, the direct opposite was happening. Negative thirty. Negative forty. Negative fifty. As the snow dust engulfed Yang Dingtian, the temperature started dropping drastically by the seconds. It was so freaking cold! Even with his Nine Yang Mystic Meridian, Yang Dingtian could feel his internal organs going a lot slower than before. It was his bones, his blood, nerves, meridian. It was everything, basically. Yang Dingtian had to react somehow, but whenever he tried to ignite his sword, a freezing air just kept deactivating it. On and off. On and off. All of Yang Dingtians attempts at using his Inferno Sky Sword went to naught, and he had to lose a great deal of his qi every single time. This fearsome cold had a will of its own. It was aggressive. It was fast. But, most importantly, it was entirely unpredictable. After an hour of his futile resistance, Yang Dingtian had to accept the fact that his current strategy wasnt doing anything. The snow dust continued to trap him wherever he tried to go, and it wasnt like he had a way to escape. Well, it was time to be creative. With no regard to the decreasing temperature, Yang Dingtian decided to stop using his youngling sword as a lighter. Instead, he struck it right to the ground below him. Earth Seal Sword! Yang Dingtian shouted and shot out a powerful qi out of his weapon, which then spread its way out to the rest of the room. Technically speaking, the energy Yang Dingtian emitted was not of ice, but of the element fire. However, it was still capable of splitting itself up into countless tiny units to counter the ice womans attack. If anything, it was the perfect counter for this scenario. Not only was Yang Dingtian able to maximize the advantage of his fire element qi, but the Earth Seal Sword was also leaving no space for the snow dust to escape. In other words, the jailor and the prisoner had switched their roles. Since the ice woman had nowhere to run, Yang Dingtian decided to use his last bit of qi for the finishing blow. Inferno Sky Sword! He shouted, and a giant hole was punched out of the freezing particles surrounding him. It wasnt quite over yet. Pretty soon, the snow dust gathered back together and formed into the shape of a woman. From what it looked like, though, this woman was looking very hurt. Kind of surprised, even. She had probably just used up all the tricks up in her sleeve. There wasnt anything she could do to Yang Dingtian now, and she sounded like she wanted to run. Actually, she was trying to reattach herself back to the wall she fell from. There was no way Yang Dingtian was going to do a round two. If he allowed the ice woman to make a retreat, it wouldnt be long before she could recharge herself with an infinite amount of chilling energy. Or, she could just choose not to fight and let Yang Dingtian waste his time. Earth Seal Sword! Yang Dingtian shouted and incapacitated the ice womans body. If she werent made entirely out of pure energy, he wouldve had to let her have her escape. He was not an ice element user, after all. With nowhere to run, the ice woman had no choice but to keep letting Yang Dingtian deliver his attacks. Inferno Sky Sword! Countless flames had shattered the ice woman suddenly. There was a breeze before the countless shards gathered and regenerated a complete ice woman. Earth Seal Sword! Yang Dingtian imprisoned the ice woman who was about to scuttle away. Inferno Sky Sword! The flaming giant sword slashed down. Just like this, the process repeated. The Earth Seal Sword and the Inferno Sky Sword were brandished in turns. The ice womans body was getting smaller and smaller, and smaller! ... Inferno Sky Sword! After spamming the same attack for about 39 times, the ice woman was finally destroyed without a piece left of her. Yang Dingtian was right. His Nine Yang Mystic Meridian did bring him an overwhelming advantage to completing his trial inside the ice palace. If he werent born with such a gift, there wouldve been no way to survive the hell that he had just experienced. An enemy that cannot be touched, but her body was entirely made out of weapons that cannot be blocked by any means. Just thinking about it still gave Yang Dingtian the chills. After having left the palace, Yang Dingtian came to have another breathing session at the center of the hall. He didnt need to heal himself up this time. ... This time, it took about twelve hours for Yang Dingtian to fill up his qi vessel. That being said, it was the same process all over again. The qi just kept inflating and inflating and inflating, and once they had reached a certain point, a white light flashed out and put his senses into a temporary state of rest for about thirty straight seconds. Finally, another breakthrough! Yang Dingtian just went from being a nine star intermediate to a one star Mystic Martial Master. It wasnt just a level up this time. It was a rank up! Yang Dingtian was exasperated. He had seen it coming before, but the excitement of actually having a rank up was enough to make his blood boil. Well, it was probably only natural for him. Before coming to this secret realm, Yang Dingtian had never made so much progress in such a short period before. He had been a Mystic Martial Artist his entire time since leaving the Palace of Ten Thousand Snow, and the most he got to was a five star after he had learned the second stage of the Pig Slaying Sword Art. Next up, Great Mystic Martial Master! Yang Dingtian was only ten levels away from attaining the rank that he had desired. With the Five Elements Hall helping him, such a goal was very much plausible. If killing three bosses was the condition to get from a six star Mystic Martial Artist to a Mystic Martial Master, then Yang Dingtian could probably become a three star Great Mystic Martial Master by killing all the bosses that remained. Oh, how sweet would that be! If things went right for Yang Dingtian, he wouldve been recognized as one of the most renowned figures in this world. By becoming a Great Mystic Martial Master, he could start training his mystic technique and craft his soul fire. Once he had filled up his meridian and qi vessel, Yang Dingtian came back to the fire palace for a second attempt. Since fire and ice neglect each other out, it was the most disadvantaged trial he had to go with. Just when Yang Dingtian was about to lift his leg to make the entrance, the traumatizing thoughts about that yasha suddenly came back to him. It was such a troublesome opponent, to be honest. Especially that whip and the green flame it could create so effortlessly. Yang Dingtian was completely powerless against these two during his last attempt. Damn it, Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said to himself, Whatever it takes, you damn monster. Ill just take another bath inside the giants chest. Again, as soon as Yang Dingtian had made his way in, the fire yasha instantly appeared and lashed out its whip at him. Inferno Sky Sword! Yang Dingtian shot out a streak of flame from his youngling sword. Oh! Compared to the yashas green flame, the flame generated by the Inferno Sky Sword was clearly brighter and bigger. Actually, Yang Dingtian couldnt even see any green flame. All he could see was his own flame coming right down at his enemy with absolutely no resistance in the way. The yasha was just split in half in one hit. Yeah, it was that simple. Its body, just kind of, fell apart before it could even bleed, and it dropped on the ground and was burnt into ashes. This whole fight took, like, one second. ... Yang Dingtian didnt know what to think. He, well, expected some kind of gruesome fight awaiting for him. Really? So thats what ranking up does to you? There might be just one level of difference between a nine star Mystic Martial Artist to a one start Mystic Martial Master, but the power scale between the two was simply incomparable. Speaking from Yang Dingtians memory, the flame he could create from his Inferno Sky Sword was about several inches tall when he was Mystic Martial Artist. Now, after becoming a Mystic Martial Master, it was about several tens of meters tall. A fire yasha could violate Yang Dingtian when he was a nine star Mystic Martial Artist, but Yang Dingtian could annihilate a fire yasha in an instant when he was a Mystic Martial Master now. Just what the hell? ***************************** And thats that. Without any expense of his qi, Yang Dingtian came back towards the center of the hall. Apart from the element thunder, he had now defeated the first boss of every element in this place. So, what should he do now? Should he head to the thunder palace, or should he enter the second room of the wind palace? As mentioned before, there really wasnt a point in matching against thunder. If anything, this rare, rare element was a bug in this universe. There was nobody who possessed this element, and youd rarely see it in an actual fight. If Yang Dingtian had to say, there wasnt even a need for thunder to have a palace of its own. In fact, why was it considered one of the five elements in the first place? He knew that fire and ice were a pair, and the same logic applies to gold and wind. But if so, shouldnt thunder be paired with something? ... After thinking for about half an hour, Yang Dingtian decided to give a shot to the most mysterious, dangerous element in this world. If anything, really, he was just curious to see how scary thunder could be. With his youngling sword in hand, Yang Dingtian came to the front door of the thunder palace. Unlike the other palace in this location, the color of the entrance he was facing was always changing. It was not green or red or blue, but rather a continuous shift between all of them. Before taking his step in, Yang Dingtian could see that it was completely dark inside this palace. Its almost as if he was looking at an infinite, ever-expanding universe, and the mysteriousness of it made him grind his teeth harder than he already was. Still, Yang Dingtian went in. He didnt know what to expect, so he just kind of jumped in and hoped for the best. Just when he thought that it couldnt be any darker, a great shadow came across Yang Dingtian and completely took away his vision. There was no sight. Nor sound, either. There wasnt anything to sense or detect here, and even time and space seemed like they had been erased. What the... Yang Dingtian held onto his sword. He wanted to hurry up and get this over with, but there wasnt any enemy coming at him. Chapter 176: Time Passing Quickly, Countless Battle Outcomes… Chapter 176: Time Passing Quickly, Countless Battle Outcomes...Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Thats when something struck at him. Splat! Suddenly, a streak of white light struck at Yang Dingtian in the middle of complete darkness, and it instantly shot him out of the palace. Yang Dingtian wasnt just screwed over. No, it was much worse than that. He got knocked out without even knowing what happened. He didnt know what he was fighting against. He didnt know what the thing that hit him was. He didnt even get the chance to test out his strategies. After being sent to the hall, Yang Dingtian was picked up by the three-headed giant again. The trainee has been injured for the fourth time. I will now check on his conditions! There is no sign of life in the trainee. There is a chance that he is permanently dead! The guardian will now prepare to eliminate traces of the trainees existence. This training session has been declared to be a failure... The elimination process will begin after a ten-second countdown! Ten! Nine! Eight! .... The giants grasp was becoming tighter by every second. Once it had counted down to one, there wouldnt be a single trace left of Yang Dingtians dying body. Three! Two! One! Suddenly, the giant felt a twitch in its hand. I suspect that theres still a trace of life in the trainees body. The guardian will now reconfirm that... The trainee is still alive. I shall now put him back into the holy water pool for another treatment... Out of all the times he had been knocked out in this secret realm, this was the closest Yang Dingtian had been to being killed. ****************** Three days and three nights. Thats how long it took for Yang Dingtian to wake up from the magical green pool. For all the times he had been treated here before, this was by far the longest in the record. Worse yet, Yang Dingtian wasnt even fully healed when he woke up from his coma. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was himself in charcoal black. He was burnt everywhere on his body. The injury was so bad that it was barely bearable to look at. The thunder palace wasnt just a bug of the whole Five Elements Hall. It was just a nightmare. You go in, you cant find your enemy, and suddenly, you get struck by a flashing bolt without any means to defend yourself. So the results did match Yang Dingtians expectations. The thunder palace was nothing more than a spare. If Yang Dingtian wanted to become a three star Mystic Martial Master, he could just train in the other four palaces. Again, thunder was such a ridiculous element. Unless you are naturally immune against it, meaning youre born with thunder as your element, there was absolutely no way to undergo the trial of the thunder palace. It took about ten more hours for Yang Dingtians dark skin to wear off. He would prefer waking up much later, but now hes got enough time to, well, look around him. Just what exactly was this magical green pool made out of? Whatever it really was, it did have the power to heal up any kind of injury. Yang Dingtian could even make the statement that it could bring the dead back to life. The thought of Yanyan suddenly came to Yang Dingtian. From judging from the first-hand experience, this pool could probably repair a meridian that had been completely destroyed. The more he thought about the plausibility of it, the faster his heart started to beat. Yang Dingtian had never thought about stealing anything in his life before, but he could see a very good reason to violate that record. So, the three-headed giant called this liquid the holy water. It was a very befitting name; it sounded exactly like something that Yanyan would need for her devastating wound. Yang Dingtian wasnt going to take the risk yet, however. There was still quite a bit of distance before he could finish training in the Five Elements Hall. If there were a day he was going to commit his first theft, he would have to become a three star Mystic Martial Master beforehand at least. Once he had refilled his mystic qi, Yang Dingtian grabbed his youngling sword and headed towards the golden palace. As for the thunder palace, lets just not mention it again. Yang Dingtian had no intention to traumatize himself for a second time. ******************** The first room of the golden palace. Just as always, a stone man dropped from the wall and swung its hammer at Yang Dingtian. Even its battle cry was repeated word by word. Clang. Yang Dingtian wasnt wasting any time here. With a flick of his sword, he instantly knocked the hammer out of the stone mans hand. Swish. And a slash to its head. The stone man stood with absolutely no chance against Yang Dingtian at his current level. To put it simply, the power gap between the two went from extreme to its polar opposite. Of course, destroying the stone man was not as rewarding as it was before. If it were an enemy that could be destroyed within a few seconds, Yang Dingtian wouldnt make any progress with his breakthrough. With that being said, the boss awaiting in the next room was, by no means, an easy enemy to defeat. Yang Dingtian still remembered the traumatizing experience of being knocked away flying by just one hit. Yet, he was much stronger now. He had only returned to this challenge after becoming a one star Mystic Martial Master, so who knew? Maybe the outcome would be much better than he had predicted. Still, nine times the normal gravity was rather challenging to get used to. That would always be the case no matter what level youre at. After taking one step in, Yang Dingtian could see the silver robot charging at him with a giant sword in hand. He arched his legs, held his breath, held tightly onto his weapon, and readied himself for another fight. Agh... Yang Dingtian yelled as he clashed swords with the robot. A few days ago, he was on the verge of death after blocking one hit from this thing in front of him. Theres no telling how different it would be this time. Agh...! Yang Dingtian kept on screaming. Like two giant glaciers, the two heavy swords collided with each other. Neither one was ready to back down. This was a direct contest of strength, a match between two mystic qi users. Poof... Yang Dingtian spat out a mouthful of blood. He quickly took a few steps back and found his chest wallowing up in pain. Another mouthful of blood. Not just that, both of his hands were trembling, and there wasnt any sign of them stopping at any time soon. On a good note, however, that was about it. The last time he fought against the silver robot resulted in a humiliatingly quick defeat. This time, he was still alive, he was still conscious, and there was still a chance for him to achieve victory. The silver robot continued to charge at Yang Dingtian. Come on, bring it! Yang Dingtian roared, Well see who goes down first! Clang! The swords clashed again. Yang Dingtian spat out another mouthful of blood, then took a few more steps back. He was still adjusting to the strength of his opponent, and he was very fast at it. So just a small mouthful of blood and ten more steps back. Needless to say, the silver robot wasnt letting Yang Dingtian take any breaks. No matter how many times he had retreated himself, the giant sword would always come at him to deliver deadly blows. More! More! Yang Dingtian taunted as he was about to block the robots third strike. Clang! Eight steps back. A shot of blood filled up Yang Dingtians mouth, but he had no problem swallowing it back down again. Even now, he was still making new progress. More! More! Yang Dingtian waved his sword around like an angry ape. The silver robot saw this and decided to accelerate training speed. Fourth hit. Fifth. Sixth. Seventh. Eighth. Ninth. Clang! Yang Dingtian wasnt taking any step back after the robots ninth swing. The table was finally turned now. My turn now, you bastard! Yang Dingtian screamed, then went straight for the silver robots head. Unyielding Sword, unyielding and indestructible... Now, the silver robot was the one on the defense. Theres still more on the way... Yang Dingtian raised his sword again. Unyielding and indestructible... Unyielding and indestructible... Unyielding and indestructible... Three hits. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. A total of nine hits, and they were all Unyielding Sword. The silver robot was left with no opportunity for a counterattack. Yang Dingtian leaned back for a bit. As dominating as he was now, he was pretty exhausted when he was about to deliver his last attack. Unyielding and indestructible, Yang Dingtian chanted as he used up his last bit of qi. Clang. Despite having taken two steps back, the silver robot still managed to block the hit. If there were some qi left inside of Yang Dingtian, he wouldve just kept on making his push. Instead, however, he decided to take the chance and ran straight out of the golden palace. Yang Dingtian wasnt able to complete the challenge. That being said, he was still quite satisfied with the progress he was making. The next time, he would certainly remove the silver robots head from the rest of its body. As he returned to the hall center, Yang Dingtian realized that all the muscles on his body already turned into countless tiny pieces. The parts that were bleeding just kept on bleeding, and there were literally gaps between his thumbs and index fingers. Yang Dingtian was much stronger now, not just physically but also mentally. This time, he didnt choose to heal himself up inside the giants chest. Instead, he chose to sit for another breathing session. *********************** If anything, it felt really good when the mystic qi started channeling through his body. This feels so good... Yang Dingtian cried out in relief. His qi vessel was dried up before, but now it was slowly starting to fill up again. Slowly and steadily, the qi was making its way through his meridian and eventually ended up inside his qi vessel. After a few hours, he was completely recharged again. Since he was so close to defeating the silver robot, Yang Dingtian wasnt looking to have another breakthrough during this breathing session. It wouldnt be much of a challenge if he were to re-enter the trial after leveling himself up. To Yang Dingtians surprise, however, a white light flashed out and put his body into a temporary state of rest. Despite it being against his will, Yang Dingtian just had another breakthrough. The assumption was that he had to actually defeat the silver robot to level himself up, but he wouldve never thought that simply winning against it would be enough to produce the result. So he went from a one star intermediate to one star senior to a two star Mystic Martial Master. As satisfying as it was to make progress this fast, Yang Dingtian was starting to feel a little confused. Still, though, this was good news. As his qi vessel was reset again, Yang Dingtian sat for several hours of breathing session. ************* After spending several hours to fill up his mystic qi, Yang Dingtian was ready to resume to his trial again. The destination, obviously, was still the second room of the golden palace. This time, Yang Dingtian was feeling much more confident. Clang! Without waiting and just jumping straight to the business. The moment Yang Dingtian took his step in, the silver robot came at him with a direct hit of its giant blade. Clang! Yang Dingtian wasnt taking any steps back, nor was there any blood coming out of his mouth. As shocked to see this, the silver robot flinched for a bit. Time to finish you now, Yang Dingtian smirked as he raised his sword. Unyielding and indestructible... One hit, and the giant took three steps back. Two more, and the giant took five steps back. Three more. Nine steps back. Four. More than ten steps back! Unyielding and indestructible... Unyielding Sword! With one solid hit, the silver robot was finally overwhelmed by the sheer force Yang Dingtian was generating. Ill destroy you now! Yang Dingtian shouted, and the silver robot was sent flying several meters back. Now! Be destroyed! Like a tiger hunting a deer, Yang Dingtian kept on chasing the silver robot while it was still in mid-air. After falling to the ground, the silver robot saw that Yang Dingtian already had his feet pinned to its body. Unyielding and indestructible. Unyielding and indestructible. Unyielding and indestructible. Unyielding and indestructible. One and another. After taking ten or more hits, the silver robots sword was shattered into pieces. Yang Dingtian was finally able to damage straight to its solid hard body. With every hit that was made, Yang Dingtian would leave a deep, spark-inducing cut to the silver robots body. Twenty. Thirty. Fifty. One hundred. With Yang Dingtians leg stepping right on top of it, the robot had completely lost the ability to stand up. The most it could do was to wobble its limbs while lying flat on the ground. Now, get destroyed... Yang Dingtian chanted as he channeled up his qi for a final blow to the spine. A loud crash. The silver robot was completely split into half by this devastating attack. After that, its remaining continued to shatter into even more tiny pieces. With his Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword, Yang Dingtian was able to eliminate his fifth target in this secret realm. It was also his first time defeating a boss that was not from a palaces first room. With all the mystic qi depleted off his body, Yang Dingtian dragged himself back to the hall center from another breathing session. There was nothing more energizing than letting mystic qi run through your meridian, and Yang Dingtian absolutely loved the feeling of replenishing himself up. After several hours of absorbing the qi from the Five Elements Hall, a white light flashed out Yang Dingtians body. However, he didnt lose consciousness or anything, though. What he had just witnessed then was a breakthrough, not a big breakthrough, though. He went from a two star Novice Mystic Martial Master to a two star Senior Mystic Martial Master. There was still a tiny gap between him and becoming a third star Mystic Martial Master. Yang Dingtian was feeling very excited now. After all, he had just understood the functioning of this secret realm. The rest of his training here would be much easier from now on. ************************* After several hours, both Yang Dingtians meridian and qi vessel were filled up again. s?a??h th? N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. This time, Yang Dingtian decided to re-enter the wind palace. He was going to face the second boss of the wind palace secret room. Yet another fight. ************** So just like this, seconds, minutes, hours, and many days have passed since Yang Dingtian had immersed himself in the training of this secret realm. He was aware of the flow of time at first, but soon lost awareness of how much time he really was spending here. The only thing he was focused on was getting himself stronger by killing all the bosses in this place. He didnt know how many times he had been injured or how many times he was bathed in the holy water pool. He didnt know many times he had been on the verge of death, lost count of the times his organs were damaged, nor was he aware of the times he had been sent to a coma. Palace. Hall center. Holy water pool. Yang Dingtian was traveling between these three points. He had lost track of the amount of time he had spent in a breathing session, nor was he aware of the number of times he had a breakthrough. Actually, how many times did he have a breakthrough? Yang Dingtian really had no idea. Chapter 177: Breakthrough How Many Levels Ultimately? Chapter 177: Breakthrough How Many Levels Ultimately?Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales He has already lost count on how many terrible pictures he has encountered, and all these rooms in this secret realm are only going to get tougher and tougher. There are five rooms in the golden palace. The first with triple gravity, second with nine times, third with twenty-seven times, fourth with eighty-one times and the fifth with two hundred and forty-three times. When Yang Dingtian practiced the sword in the virtual illusion of the mind, it would take hundreds or even thousands of times of gravity to crush the body and spirit of Yang Dingtian completely. But after all, it was within the illusion of the void. At this very moment in the room, it was the reality. Eighty-one times gravity and two hundred and forty-three times the gravity is completely terrifying. If one did not possess a certain level of ability, just a step into the room was enough for the blood vessels to burst along with the entire body skeleton collapsing. Not to mention, Yang Dingtian still held the youngling sword of over three hundred pounds, which would be nearly a hundred thousand pounds in the last room of the golden palace. Yang Dingtian couldnt even lift a hundred thousand pounds heavy sword in the past, let alone fight with it. The fifth-room boss of the golden palace was a six-handed Golden Buddha, incomparably powerful and hard. Yang Dingtian was kicked out by the six-handed Buddha numerous times; every attempt was a close shave, crushing all his bones seven times and not to mention the countless other injuries. He was on the verge of death for every single attempt and was rescued by the holy water pool every time. Finally, Yang Dingtian completely destroyed this powerful six-handed Buddha with the Unyielding Sword, which proved that the sword is indeed indestructible. The fire palace gets hotter and hotter towards the end, and so the boss at each level. The fifth room of the fire palace would be filled with flowing magma everywhere, and every inch of air was up to thousands of degrees. When it comes to this secret room, almost all the mystic qi needed to be used to protect the body from fire damage. When Yang Dingtian first entered that room, he had already used up all his qi in less than three minutes just to defend himself. The fifth level boss for the fire palace was a strange and terrifying fire spirit. He was an energy body, that wont feel a thing even if he was stabbed or chopped. However, it would be a nightmare if he were to land a blow on you. His fires were snow-white ghostly flames, and it could burn through an entire body upon the slightest contact. If it were not for the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes, Yang Dingtian would have long been dead. In the end, Yang Dingtian could only wave his youngling sword to fight off the cold flames from this devil. The sword was made of blood black gold, so the devils flames couldnt damage it. After making sure that the sword could prevent himself from getting hurt, Yang Dingtian used the Earth Seal Sword to lock away the fire ghost. Afterward, he used the Prison Break sword for a good nine times and finally managed to destroy this horrifying fire spirit. As for the training in the wind palace, every inch of air in the fifth room was deadly. Using the calculation method on Earth, this room had a level twenty strong gale. With that being said, the highest level on Earth was generally only up till level twelve. A level thirty gale can break metal and easily blow away objects that weigh more than ten thousand pounds. Under such circumstances, Yang Dingtian was injured for a good nine times before being able to adapt to the environment. The last boss of the wind palace was a succubus queen of the blade. The wind blade she shot was faster than thunder and was able to pierce through a meter thick of solid steel. Yang Dingtians thighs were penetrated thrice by those wind blades, once in the middle of the neck, and once on the arms. As always, the holy water pool was his savior every time. In short, the fifth room of the wind palace was way worse for Yang Dingtian. In the end, Yang Dingtian had no choice but to rush towards the succubus queen that was covered with blades, use the Earth Seal Sword to hold her down temporarily, then use the Inferno Sky Sword to destroy the sharp blades, and eventually destroy her heart with the Formless Sword. The combination of the three swords had to be used to kill this level five wind palace boss completely. S?a?ch* Th? N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. ******************************* Yang Dingtian was now facing his last battle. In front of him was the fifth room of the ice palace, the last secret room of his trial. The thunder palace was a bug, ??so he was not going there. A gush of deadly cold breeze could be felt right upon opening the door, almost reaching an absolute zero degrees of Earth. This temperature was capable of destroying any life form, even colder than the Never Freezing Lake. The room was filled with white snow everywhere. Yang Dingtian took a step in after a deep breath, and what awaited ahead was the last boss, a level five ice boss. Pheww... The sword in Yang Dingtians hand started to burn violently. Under such a freezing environment, Yang Dingtian would have to use his mystic qi to create fire for warmth, as his Nine Yang Mystic Meridians were not sufficient. A gust of wind blew, a dim figure appeared in front of Yang Dingtian. A completely naked woman, very enchanting, extremely beautiful, on par with Dongfang Bingling and the Ximen Yanyan. The curve of the delicate body was exactly like the carving of god. A perfect face, perfect chest, perfect buttocks, perfect thighs, every inch of the body was perfect. Although Yang Dingtian knew that this was an energy body formed by ice energy, it still looked exactly like a true beauty. Fair skin, elegant figure, beautiful eyes, and mesmerizing long blue hair. Among all the bosses here, this was the most beautiful and tenderest one. She approached Yang Dingtian, stretching out those jade arms around his neck and leaned her body towards his chest. She said softly, Darling, I am so lonely here, can you stay here with me, forever? Her voice was incredibly soft and incomparably beautiful. Yang Dingtians body trembled as he suddenly felt a sense of bitter old, a never-ending power of ice came up from her body and drilled into the body of Yang Dingtian as if it were to freeze his blood and mystic meridians instantly. This was her attack, gentle yet extremely dangerous. She could freeze Yang Dingtian into sculpture while hugging him with her naked body, to make the two of them be together forever. Yang Dingtian tried to break free by utilizing all of his mystic qi, but he suddenly realized that this naked woman in front of him had no mass at all, like a soul wrapped around him, and it was completely unable to break free. It felt as if freezing cold energy from hell had slammed into Yang Dingtians body, slowly but resolutely destroying his flesh and mystic meridians. Inferno Sky Sword...... The Yang Dingtians qi gushed out furiously and turned into burning flames. Yang Dingtian and the womans body were instantly covered in flames. This woman was made up of ice and snow, so Yang Dingtian would have to burn her with flames and let her melt. Despite the blazing flame, this enchanting lady was still safe and sound, the endless chills continued to invade Yang Dingtian, and even moved towards his qi vessel. Yang Dingtians qi was still gushing out furiously and was depleting at an unprecedented rate. However, the flames from the Inferno Sky Sword were getting smaller and smaller. Despite being immobilized by the spirit, Yang Dingtian still single-handedly used the Earth Seal Sword, to forcefully lock her down for a short while. Sadly, it was useless to her as she could freeze everything up. As for other methods, the Unyielding Sword was harmless to an energy form like her, so was the Formless Sword. Even the Prison Break Sword, the one specifically used to deal with energy form, was also useless. All five moves of the Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword were all completely useless. Darling, stop wasting your energy, isnt it good to be with me forever? The ice beauty boss said with a soft tone. After that, her eyes turned blue as a freezing sense of chill gushed out furiously. The flame on the Yang Dingtians Sky Inferno Sword instantly shrunk, and the freezing cold energy rushed towards his qi vessel. Yang Dingtians qi was depleting quickly, so were the flames formed by the qi. He started to lose his consciousness; he could not move. Most of his meridians were already frozen. Then, his mind, his divine conscience, and his soul were also all gradually frozen. As long as the qi flame was extinguished, as long as the ice cold energy entered the qi vessel, it was the end for Yang Dingtian. This ice beauty may have seemed like the weakest boss with the most gentle form of attack, but she was also the most powerful and terrifying one. Was this the end? The Nine Yang Mystic Meridians should supposedly have the upper hand in the ice palace. Yang Dingtian had already come so far defeating so many bosses, and yet he was going to get killed in the gentle arms of this ice beauty. Yang Dingtian was already on the verge of losing his consciousness and was soon going to fall into eternal sleep. The ice cold energy had already reached the lower abdomen and would soon infiltrate the qi vessel. As for that qi flame, it was already less than half an inch, gently swaying and would be extinguished in the blink of an eye. I cant die, I dont want to die like this. Yanyan is still waiting for my rescue. I still got to seize Cloud Heaven City back. I have to go to save sister Ning Ning. I have to take revenge from Dongfang Bingling. I cant die...... At the brink of death, a last trace of will surged from Yang Dingtians mind. He exhausted the last bit of strength to knock his own head onto his sword. Blood gushed out from Yang Dingtians head and splashed on the forehead of the snowy beauty, creating a slight tint of red on the snow-white forehead, as though like a red plum. Then, Yang Dingtian used his remaining qi and performed the Inferno Sky Sword, which ignited the drop of Nine Yang Blood, on the forehead snow beauty. Ah... The snow beauty gasped in horror; her beautiful eyes were instantly filled with fear. The blood on her forehead sparked a huge ball of flame, creating a deep dark hole on her beautiful white forehead, and the flame continued to spread within. Ah... The ice beauty made a terrifying gasp as she tried to wipe away the blood on her forehead. Little did she know, the Nine Yang Blood instantly stuck on her palm and was stained on her body. At this point in time, the snow beauty could no longer care about entangling Yang Dingtian as she was being swallowed in flames, gasping in pain as she frantically struggled. Lastly, she was completely swallowed up by the blazing flames and turned into ashes. Yang Dingtian witnessed everything in astonishment, and he definitely did not expect the final boss to be so tough yet gentle at the same time. Of course, he also did not expect that he could simply clear this ice palace level just with his Nine Yang Blood. Come to think of it, there would not be any of these insane entanglements of the ice and fire if he were to kill her from the start. Thanks to that, the meridians of Yang Dingtian seemed to have been thoroughly baptized. Yang Dingtian dragged his scarred body and walked back to the center of the Five Elements Hall, where he started to refill his qi for the last time. He could feel the qi constantly flowing into his body, pouring into his meridians and pouring into his qi vessel, as though a warm ray of sunlight had gradually expelled the freezing ice within his limbs. Yang Dingtians body had also gradually started to regain consciousness. Five hours had passed. Ten hours had passed. Twenty hours had passed. Yang Dingtians incomparably strong qi forced filled his qi vessel after forcing out all the ice power in his body; his qi vessel started to reach its limit and began to expand. A white light flashed, and the inner body of Yang Dingtian fell into a state of temporary rest. Half a minute later, everything started to recover gradually. The qi vessel of Yang Dingtian had once again broken through, after uncountable times of breakthroughs before. Yang Dingtian had gone through countless battles; he had lost the concept of time and everything else, not even the level he was at now. Once his qi had filled up qi vessel and meridians, Yang Dingtian slowly opened his eyes and asked the three-headed giant, Giant, what is the level of my qi? Did I surpass the three star Great Mystic Martial Master? The three-headed giant slowly opened his three giant eyes and said, You are now a five star Great Mystic Martial Master! Ah... Yang Dingtian was instantly shocked. Five star Great Mystic Martial Master? He actually broke through the five star Great Mystic Martial Master level! Yang Dingtian could feel those tears of joy in this secret realm, as breaking through level twenty was an unprecedented breakthrough for him. Even in the beginning at the Five Elements Yin Yang Formation, where he encountered the once-in-three-hundred-years Yin Yang Festival, he was also only able to breakthrough level nineteen. Now that he had finally become a Great Mystic Martial Master, Yang Dingtian could be considered as one of the best in the world. He had officially stepped into the ranks of the strong and was able to practice mystic skills. He could now learn the third stage of the Pig Slaying Sword Art, and his combat power could advance by leaps and bounds, like Dugu Fengwu. The secret realm was really the most mysterious and powerful thing left behind by the ancient world; it actually helped him breakthrough level twenty at once. How long has it been? Yang Dingtian asked as he recalled this extremely important matter. Chapter 178 Insane Reward! Ultimate Risk… Chapter 178 Insane Reward! Ultimate Risk...It has been ninety-eight days since you entered the Five Elements Hall! The three-headed giant said. Ninety-eight days? Thats not too bad, Yang Dingtian felt a sense of relief. However, the three-headed giant once said that even the most exceptional Mystic Martial Artist will have to take at least half a year before clearing the palace and reaching the three star Great Mystic Martial Master level. But Yang Dingtian has broken through four secret palaces and broke through the five star Great Mystic Martial Master in just ninety-eight days. If that were the case, then Yang Dingtian would have time for two more major breakthroughs before the Great Martial Duel tomorrow, which was more than two hundred days away from here. Firstly, he could try to master the third tier of the Pig Slaying Sword Art. Secondly, he could also practice the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame. Only a Martial Mystic could practice the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame, and the current Yang Dingtian was still five levels away from that. However, if he were to get lucky, picking up the third tier of the Pig Slaying Sword Art might help him to have a significant breakthrough, which might bring him a step closer to becoming a Martial Mystic. Therefore, it was imperative to master the third tier of the Pig Slaying Sword Art. However, the scroll of the third tier of the Pig Slaying Sword Art was probably still in the Hidden Arts Pavilion of Cloud Heaven City, as the mysterious black hooded man only gave Yanyan the scroll for the second tier of the Pig Slaying Sword Art. So, was there any way for Yang Dingtian to smoothly retrieve the scroll from Cloud Heaven City? Out of the blue, a crazy and dangerous idea popped out of Yang Dingtians mind, an idea that would allow him to enter the city and take the scroll effortlessly. On the other hand, Yang Dingtian was also dying to find out the situation of sister Ning Ning, to know whether did she fall into the hands of Ximen Jus gang? At that moment, Yang Dingtian couldnt wait to return to Cloud Heaven City, to go back with a different identity. So, can I leave now? Yang Dingtian asked. You can leave at any time. The sea bottom is right behind the sixth door of the fourth room, you may leave the secret realm from any door. The three-headed giant replied. I will leave right away then, thank you for your care during this time. Yang Dingtian said as he bowed in gratitude. Wait. The three-headed giant said, According to the rules of the secret realm, as long as you breakthrough one element of rooms, you can get a mystic talisman of that element. You have broken through four different palaces, so you can pick one talisman among the ice, fire, wind, and gold element as a reward. A foreign element talisman? Yang Dingtians heart started to pound furiously. We were talking about a true piece of legendary treasure that had only been a myth, never before seen. By having the talisman of a different element, one would be able to possess the attack attributes of that particular element. For example, a fire martial artist with the ice talisman would be able to perform an ice blade skill, how amazing would that be. Meaning to say, Yang Dingtian would be able to perform skills and techniques of an ice martial artist if he had the ice element talisman, and that would enable him to drastically increase the power of his Earth Seal Sword. Apart from that, Yang Dingtian could also combine the ice and fire element in a battle, making him an even more deadlier fighter. Therefore, a foreign element talisman was definitely a cheat code. Also, the effect of this mystic talisman could be increased through cultivating. Once it reached a certain level, the power would be on par with another martial spirit, and maybe even more mysterious. Please choose a talisman of an element as your reward. The three-headed giant said. I shall go with the ice element, Yang Dingtian replied. The ideal choice would definitely be the thunder element talisman if it were among the options because a thunder talisman is extremely rare and is the true ultra killer technique. However, the thunder room was way too sick, completely impossible to pass. As a result, the ice element talisman would be a clear alternative option for Yang Dingtian. Even though the ice element clashes with Yang Dingtians meridians, but it would surprise anyone when a fire element artist like Yang Dingtian would release an ice element attack. In addition to that, the power of an ice-fire combination attack would be unmatchable. Therefore, a wind element artist should pick the gold element talisman, and a fire artist should choose the ice talisman. The three-headed giant took out a sparkling blue jade talisman from his skull and placed it on Yang Dingtians palm. Yang Dingtian instantly felt a soothing sense of coolness, along with the infinite vitality within it. S~?a??h the N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. There was actually another powerful use for this talisman, it could absorb the damage from its own element. In other words, the ice talisman could help its owner to absorb a certain amount of damage while fighting against an ice element expert. It could even devour more ice energy as it would grow stronger. In theory, this talisman could help Yang Dingtian avoid all ice damage when it would reach a certain level. However, this very ice talisman now was still an infant, it needed to absorb large amounts of ice energy to grow stronger. Yang Dingtian carefully placed the ice talisman into his ring of storage, fearing that it would be damaged by his own meridians. After all, it was still too fragile at the moment. Thank you for your gift, big guy. Yang Dingtian said. I shall make my move. The three-headed giant did not respond and only prepared to retract to the original sculpture form. Before transforming back, the giant seemed to think of something and said, Trainee, are you willing to accept the infernal trial mission? There will be better rewards. What trial mission? Where is it held? What reward? Yang Dingtian asked. Breakthrough the thunder palace. Once completed, you will be rewarded with a thunder talisman and a volume of thunder mystic skills scroll, said the giant. Yang Dingtian got extremely excited for an instant. Both the rewards mentioned were super valuable; just getting hold of either one of them could make the whole world insane. The thunder talisman could make all of Yang Dingtians attacks contain thunder damage, and thunder attacks were definitely a cheat code, absolutely no way to defend against it. So if someone were to use a thunder martial or mystic skill in this world, everyone would fear him despite his level of qi. This was because of all thunder artists had a strong and mysterious background. However, there were only a few thunder element users in the world. For the past 100 years, there was only one known expert from the Sea of Hades, who was a thunder mystic skill user. Even earlier than that, only people from the Hidden Sect and Shrine of Extermination were known to be thunder element users. Even though a thunder martial spirit was extremely rare, but it could still be occasionally seen between every few decades. As for thunder mystic and martial skills, it was never before seen. This was because a thunder secret scroll was very rare, and so were the people that possess the qi of thunder element. But things would be different if you were to have a thunder talisman. With it, anyone could be capable of using thunder mystic skills. Of course, the thunder talisman was way harder to cultivate as compared to the ice one, but there was a type of crystal that naturally contained thunder within it that could be used to cultivate the thunder talisman, although the price of it was ridiculously high. These two rewards were really incredibly tempting. Just imagine if Yang Dingtian had the thunder talisman, he could combine all three ice, fire and thunder to launch an attack, how amazing would that be. Despite the temptation, Yang Dingtian still shook his head and said, Forget it, I give up this task, because the thunder palace is really too sick, and I have no time. There will only be one chance for this trial mission, and the whole process would only take around seven to eight minutes. The winner would be able to get the two prizes at the end of the room and leave the secret realm. The loser, however, will die in the room, said the three-headed giant. Only seven or eight minutes to get through five thunder room? That was way too fast. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and shook his head. Forget it, I still give up. Even though the reward is incomparably attractive, but I still give up. The thunder palace is really too tough, it is impossible to pass through with my current ability. The infernal trial mission does not really require the qi level of a person, it is more on the wisdom, says the three-headed giant. With wisdom, even beginners can breakthrough the five thunder rooms. As for those who lack wisdom, even a master level individual would have his soul ripped apart. Yang Dingtian still shook his head and said, Forget it, I dont have an absolute grasp of my wisdom. If that is the case, goodbye. The three-headed giant said as he transformed back into a sculpture. Yang Dingtian walked towards the room of the golden palace and decided to leave this place via the sixth door of the golden palace. Suddenly, Yang Dingtian seemed to think of something and asked, Hey, big guy, can the infernal trial of the thunder palace awaken a sleeping soul in my mind? The three-headed giant opened his eyes and paused for awhile as if he were searching through his memories. Yes, there is a great use, says the giant. The energy of the thunder element has an indescribable effect on activating all sleeping souls. Yang Dingtian got excited immediately, did that mean that he could awaken the sleeping soul of his master that was deep within his mind during the infernal trial of the thunder palace? It has already been a few months, his masters soul was still not awakened yet. Putting aside the fact that Yang Dingtian missed his master a lot, he was also unable to find the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame without the masters help. The scroll that Ning Rouler gave him might be related to the map of the mystic flame, but Yang Dingtian couldnt even understand the writings on the map. Whereas his master, who had explored the world, should be able to understand it. Of course, even without all of these, Yang Dingtian was still dying for his master, Dongfang Niemie, to wake up, even if it was only talking to him. However, Yang Dingtian had already seen the difficulty of the thunder palace, it was seriously sickening, and entering it would be extremely dangerous. Apparently, the duration of the whole process was short, all it took was around seven minutes. If successful, the master might wake up, and he could get the thunder talisman and thunder mystic skills, and then head for Cloud Heaven City to seek the third tier of the Pig Slaying Sword Art. But if he were to fail, he would just die inside the room. The three-headed giant has already said that this infernal trial mission relied on wisdom, not on the qi. Chapter 179: Getting Through the Infernal Trial Mission, Leaving! Chapter 179: Getting Through the Infernal Trial Mission, Leaving!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian hugged the sword in his hand as a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. I might just know how to pass through these five thunder rooms and how to complete this infernal trial. Yang Dingtian suddenly got a little nervous. Big guy, I accept the infernal trial mission. Yang Dingtian said. Are you sure? The three-headed giant asked. Im sure. Yang Dingtian replied. The special infernal trial mission has now begun, please pass through all five rooms of the thunder palace and complete the mission within half a quarter of an hour. The three-headed giant said. Right after the giant finished his sentence, the entire Five Elements Hall lightened up. Following that, the lights of the other four elements palaces dimmed, only leaving the door of the thunder palace lit up. May the trainee please advance immediately, we will erase all extra traces inside this secret realm once the given times is up. The three-headed giant warned. Yang Dingtian got a huge shock because this meant that it was too late for him to change his mind. He would get obliterated after seven minutes, even if he just stood on the spot and did nothing. Not only that, the doors of the other four elements palaces were already closed, the only way out of here was through the thunder palace, there were no other choices. Yang Dingtian held the youngling sword and walked to the front door of the thunder palace, he reached out and pushed open the door. S?a??h the N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Inside it was all black like hell, dangerous like hell. The only way to pass through was by wisdom, not qi. All he had was seven minutes, if he succeeded, he would get to leave with extremely grand rewards and could awaken his master. But if he were to fail, his life would end, gone forever. Lets go! Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and took the first step into the hellish dark thunder room. At the same time, the lights of the thunder palace entrance behind him suddenly extinguished and closed, the only way left was to advance. After entering, Yang Dingtian quickly took out the earlier used Night Owl Strange Blade from the ring of storage and quickly bundled it together with the youngling sword. By doing so, the two swords added up to a height of more than three meters. Crack... Yang Dingtian used all his strength and managed to stab the newly assembled sword into the ground. Then, he quickly put on a pair of insulated shoes and gloves. After this, he held his breath and waited for the arrival of the powerful thunder. The three-headed giant said that this infernal mission relied on wisdom, not on qi. At an open environment on Earth, thunder usually struck on taller conductors. Therefore, Yang Dingtian tied the giant sword together with the Night Owl Strange Blade to form a long sword of more than three meters and then inserted it into the ground to divert the energy of the thunder to the ground. It was equivalent to the concept of a thunder rod. The height of Yang Dingtian was about 180 cm, far below three meters, and he was wearing insulated shoes. So, according to the principles of Earth, the thunder couldnt get to him. However, this was not Earth, it was the chaotic continent. Over here, the laws of science on Earth were not necessarily realized. So it could be said that Yang Dingtian was gambling with his life now. It was completely dark, and there was total silence inside the room; the only clear sound was the heartbeat of Yang Dingtian. The anticipated super powerful thunder was still not coming, tormenting the waiting Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian was like a prisoner waiting for a verdict, his heartbeat was racing faster and faster, the feeling of suffocation seemed to cause a burning pain every time he took a breath. If the thunder boss continued to not play by the book like this, then there was only one ending for Yang Dingtian, a complete decimation. ROAR! A loud bang took place in the room, a huge flash of thunder squats as if they were to tear the sky and overturn the mountains. Yang Dingtian completely lost his vision, just like getting struck by the bright aurora of an exploded nuclear bomb. The last thunder was way more power than the first one Yang Dingtian experienced when he first entered the room. He would immediately turn into ashes if a thunder of that caliber were to hit him, even the Nine Yang Mystic Meridians would be useless. Roar, Roar, Roar, Roar... The extremely lethal thunder just kept on coming one after another, as though it had no end to it. Fortunately, everything was going as Yang Dingtian had expected, all the thunderbolts struck on the long sword. The youngling sword and Night Owl Strange Blade seemingly became completely transparent after being hit by those huge thunderbolts, radiant and incomparably gorgeous. As for Yang Dingtian, he stood behind the sword and was safe and sound, not a trace of thunder touched his body. However, Yang Dingtian was completely blinded at this point as there was only light in the entire room, and it was extremely bright. The thunder was striking for half a minute and didnt seem to be stopping, but only seven minutes were given for the whole mission. Yang Dingtian decided not to wait for the thunder to stop, as he must continue to advance. Since he had completely lost his version, Yang Dingtian extended his hand and walked forward carefully as he moved to grab the sword. This required great courage because the electric current on the sword was completely insane at this point. Although Yang Dingtian was wearing insulant gloves, it was only effective to a certain extent. Once a single bit of thunder entered his body, it was more or less over for Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath to slow down his racing heartbeat, and then took a few steps forward, reaching out for the sword. Phew...... Yang Dingtian body trembled fiercely because the long sword was actually trembling furiously, in joy! Yes, Yang Dingtian could feel that it was cheering in joy, as if these countless strikes of fierce thunderbolts were making it very comfortable, trembling with joy. Moreover, not a single bit of electricity got into Yang Dingtians body because all the current had been diverted to the ground. What a weirdo, Yang Dingtian thought in his mind. Next, Yang Dingtian had to use all his power and push forward with the two swords stabbed in the ground. This was because there was no way he could let the two swords leave the ground; otherwise, the current would get into the body of Yang Dingtian. As a result, he had to make sure that the sword could continue to divert the current to the ground. So just like that, Yang Dingtian advanced forward while pushing two swords, causing long deep cracks on the ground. He managed to reach the door of the second room and entered the second room of the thunder palace. Pow, Pow, Pow! The thunderbolts were even more terrifying, as though huge blocks of the wall crashing down from the sky. Pow, Pow! Two more thunderbolts followed, but both of them still landed on the sword, causing no damage to Yang Dingtian. Even so, the level of the thunderbolts was really terrifying, it was like the end of the world. And just like that, Yang Dingtian pushed two swords and passed through the second, third, fourth, and fifth room. *************** Three minutes later, Yang Dingtian came to the sixth door of the thunder palace. He had completed the so-called infernal trial mission in only half of the seven minutes prescribed. As for the thunder in the last few rooms, Yang Dingtian had completely no idea of the scale of it. He simply closed his eyes throughout, and his ears were completely inaudible due to the deafening thunderbolts. Yang Dingtian felt a little weird after passing through; he felt a little ridiculous and, at the same time, a little lost. The previous trials had tortured Yang Dingtian thoroughly, the countless wounds, uncountable times hanging on the edge of death. But he was completely unharmed in this thunder palace, the palace that was deemed as a complete cheat. It was hard to believe that he just breezed through the so-called infernal trial mission without any injury, in fact, not even much effort was needed. Therefore, this infernal trial mission was truly sickening. Without wisdom, even a master or grandmaster wouldnt stand a chance. As for those with wisdom, even an enlightener could pass smoothly. ***************** The moment Yang Dingtians hand touched the sixth door, everything stopped. The endless thunders and deafening sounds were all gone. The light was restored in the room, and Yang Dingtian seemed to be lying among a clear blue sky, an extremely pure and comfortable shade of blue. The trial should be over, Yang Dingtian immediately tried to reach out to the soul of master Dongfang Niemie within his mind, looking forward to hearing the voice of his master again. Sadly, the outcome was disappointing. The happy mood of Yang Dingtian started to fade away, was it because he wasnt struck by thunder? That was why he couldnt recall the soul of his master. Trainee, you have passed all the trial missions, the reward is on the door, please leave immediately, we will be clear all the foreign traces in the secret realm, please leave immediately! The voice of the three-headed giant suddenly appeared while Yang Dingtian was in a state of being upset. Even though they were five rooms away from each other, the voice of the three-headed giant still sounded as though he was speaking right next to his ears. Yang Dingtian looked at the gate and indeed realized two items floating. One of them was the thunder talisman, a transparent jade card that had a small spark of electric current while retrieving it. The talisman was still at an infant stage at the moment, and it looked vulnerable and cute. But once it would grow to a certain level, it would shock the world. Therefore, when Yang Dingtian took it in his hands, his heart skipped a beat and found it hard to breathe for a slight moment. This was the thunder jade talisman we were talking about, the whole world would probably add up to no more than five of them, or even less. When it would reach a certain level, it would definitely become a cheat code. If you were to kiss the electric jade gently, there would be a slight sense of numbness on the lips, a pleasant feeling of itch. This talisman seemed to be a living thing, just like the youngling sword. When Yang Dingtian kissed it, it discharged a wave of electric current, which taught him a lesson, just like a little baby waving his tiny little pink fist. This thunder talisman should be placed into the ring of storage with care, as it was really too fragile now. Next was the thunder element scroll. Now, it was thunder mystic skills. The current Yang Dingtian was a five star Great Mystic Martial Master, it was the time for him to learn mystic skills. He was actually excited and worried at the same time about his first mystic skill secret scroll because he wasnt able to get hold of any powerful mystic skill secret scrolls while drifting around like this. There were many powerful mystic skill secret scrolls in the Cloud Heaven City, though, but they no longer belonged to Yang Dingtian now. However, nobody could have expected that the first mystic skill secret scroll that Yang Dingtian possessed was an incredible thunder element one. In this world, people who possessed thunder mystic skills were more rare than thunder element monsters. Regardless of the location, performing a thunder element mystic skill was sufficient to shock everyone, regardless of the power of it. Yang Dingtian had a strong urge to immediately start learning mystic skills while holding onto the secret scroll, but he quickly gave up this tempting thought as the secret realm was about to clear the area and remove all traces of outsiders. He would completely disappear from the world if he were to be swept away by the secret realm, and there was no room for reasoning in this place. Yang Dingtian placed the thunder mystic skills secret scroll in his arms and opened the door in front of him, where it was the sea bottom! The blue waters were swaying, countless underwater creatures were attracted to the light over here. This was the true definition of a deep-sea, tens of thousands of meters deep, perhaps there isnt a sea of such depth on Earth. Yang Dingtian had been here for more than a hundred days, and he was finally able to get out of here. Chapter 180: Learning the Thunder Mystic Skill! Chapter 180: Learning the Thunder Mystic Skill!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales After practicing here for more than 100 days, after breaking through the 20th level, Yang Dingtian was finally able to leave. He actually had an urge to scream out his excitement, but he resisted as it was not the time to do so yet. Yang Dingtian kept his Night Owl Strange Blade and youngling sword into the ring of storage and walked out while holding his breath. Except for the rewards, the trainee must not take away anything from the secret realm, or he shall be immediately decimated. Suddenly, Yang Dingtian heard the voice of the three-headed giant. A thorough check is to be conducted on the trainee! The giant continued. Yang Dingtian got nervous as he actually did bring something out, the Holy Water on the chest of the three-headed giant. While he was heavily injured in the realm earlier, Yang Dingtian secretly filled around tens of pounds of it into the ring of storage. He planned to use the Holy Water for the treatment of Yanyans damaged meridians. The three-headed giant seemed to be clueless back in the palace. Who would have thought that a check would be conducted now? Would the Holy Water be discovered if it were placed in the ring of storage? Yang Dingtian would be doomed if the Holy Water was found, he would be obliterated at once, without any room for discussion at all. But it seemed like there are no other options at this point as there was no way Yang Dingtian would confess to the three-headed giant now and hand over the Holy Water. What was done couldnt be undone, he would have to be prepared to bear the necessary consequences. A bright light suddenly hit onto the body of Yang Dingtian, passed through his body inch by inch, top to bottom, in and out. Lastly, the green light stopped on the finger of Yang Dingtian, at the position of the ring of storage. At that very moment, Yang Dingtian almost died of nervousness. Three minutes later, the ray of light left his finger. What a relief! Yang Dingtians heart was racing like crazy for those three minutes. There is no trace of any secret realm items in the body, but there is an abnormal flow of inside. However, the Mystic Finder cannot identify that energy, so no actions would be taken, the trainee is free to leave. The voice of the three-headed giant sounded. Yang Dingtian took a long breath of relief at that instance and rushed out of the sixth door into the ice-cold sea bed, leaving the Five Elements Hall for good. Ah... it feels so bad... Yang Dingtian thought as he suddenly felt a huge load of pressure crushing down on him. It felt as though all his internal organs were on the verge of getting squeezed out, and all the veins and bones in his body were going to burst. This was a sea bottom with a depth of tens of thousands of meters, the water pressure here was insane. Even though Yang Dingtian was already prepared for this, but he didnt expect that the pressure would be so horrifying. Yang Dingtian wrapped his body with all his qi to resist against the humongous pressure and started to float up speedily. This super deep seabed was seriously too scary, even a second here would be too much to bear. At the same time, the gates of the Five Elements Hall had fully closed, so the seabed became pitch black. Splash...... Yang Dingtian flew out of the sea surface. It took him over ten minutes to rise up from the seabed. Although he was completely capable of surviving without breathing for more than half an hour now, he still took many puffs of deep breaths to appreciate the presence of air. The north sand coast of the West End Island was just up ahead, and further ahead would be the dense forest. Yang Dingtian went up the sand coast and came to the dense forest. He first picked up a dozen edible wild fruits and had a great meal. Yang Dingtian had been relying on herbs and pills for the past three months in the secret realm. Even though it was more beneficial for body mechanics, there was no doubt that Yang Dingtian still missed normal food. Unfortunately, there was no meat on the island; otherwise, it would be even better. After eating, Yang Dingtian immediately headed towards the east side of the West End Island, because that was the place where he hid his ship. In less than half an hour, Yang Dingtian had already arrived at the beach on the east side. When he came, he hid the boat behind a huge stone and buried it with sand. But all he saw now was a pile of wood fragments as the ship was broken into pieces. The culprit was certainly not a strong wind or wave, it was man-made. The whole ship was completely turned into powdery pieces, it was the doing of a true expert, a person that completely shattered the boat with one palm strike. But there were no other people on this island, who was capable of doing this? Definitely, Dugu Fengwu. Yang Dingtian got extremely angry at this merciless and ruthless demon woman, she even turned her back on Yang Dingtian and attempted to kill him in the secret realm after violating him. And now, she destroyed his ship. This island was a few thousand miles away from land, how Yang Dingtian was supposed to leave without a ship? Swimming was definitely not possible, the only way was to use his qi to glide through two thousand miles of sea. Perhaps a great master like Dugu Fengwu could do it, but that would still bring great harm to the body. Therefore, Yang Dingtian could not leave without the ship. On the bright side, this island was only around two thousand miles away from the mainland, so there would be boats passing by every once in a while. It was just that Yang Dingtians plan of going to Cloud Heaven City would be pushed back for a few days. Anyway, it was useless to worry too much now, the only thing he could do was to pray that there would be a boat passing through here soon. In the meantime, Yang Dingtian could start studying the thunder mystic skill secret scroll. But that would be after he took a good sleep. After all, Yang Dingtian barely slept in the past three months, he was almost always fighting, healing, and training during the time in the secret realm. So for now, Yang Dingtians top priority now was to take a good nights sleep. He built a bed on a big tree that he found, laid comfortably on it, and fell asleep in no time. Of course, Yang Dingtian was still able to react to any danger immediately even while sleeping, but the West End Island was just simply too quiet, the only sounds here were the waves, and there werent any wild animals here. Therefore, Yang Dingtian had the sweetest sleep ever since he came to the Primal Chaos Continent. ******************************* As he woke up the next day, Yang Dingtian first found a pool to take a bath, change into some clean clothes, and then picked a spacious spot under a tree to start studying the secret scroll of thunder mystic skills. Looking at this volume of thunder mystic skills secret scroll, Yang Dingtian got uncontrollably nervous. This was the extremely rare scroll that everyone dreamt of possessing, the highest reward of the Five Elements Hall. Dugu Fengwu was the princess of demons, but even she did not have thunder mystic skills. The world would be shocked if words that Yang Dingtian possessed this secret scroll were made public. Even if it were to be placed in an auction, countless people would go crazy and would be willing to give up anything for it. The mystic skill secret scrolls are different from the martial skill secret scrolls. A volume of martial skill secret scroll, except for Yang Dingtians Pig Slaying Sword Art, could be used countless times by as many people there were, but a volume of mystic skill secret scroll could only be used once. Once a mystic secret scroll was being used once, it would become useless even if it fell into the possession of another person. Apart from that, all mystic skill secret scrolls were left behind from the past. Even though there were always new mystic skill scrolls being discovered over the past thousand years, but the number of new scrolls found was getting less and less in the recent hundred years. Therefore, the amount of mystic skill secret scrolls were decreasing day by day, they were extremely valuable, let alone the thunder element ones. Yang Dingtian sat on the spacious ground and gradually closed his eyes as he held on to the thunder mystic skill secret scroll. This was just like practicing with a martial skill secret scroll, all that needed to be done was to put qi into the scroll, and Yang Dingtian would be able to enter the world of the scroll. However, it was uncertain whether he would be able to successfully master the skill, as he didnt even know if he had the gift for the thunder element or not. An individuals meridians were being classified as Yin and Yang and would be further evolved to ice, fire, gold, wind, and thunder when you would reach the rank of Great Mystic Martial Master trying to learn mystic skills. The ice element was the default element of the Yin meridians, and the fire was the default element for the Yang meridians. After which, a portion of people with Yang meridians would be gifted in the gold element or wind element. The gift for the thunder element, though, was universal for both Yin and Yang, but people who were blessed with the thunder element gift were extremely rare. Yang Dingtian was indeed a Nine Yang Mystic Meridians individual, but it was highly unlikely that he was gifted with the thunder element. The good thing was that he had the thunder talisman, so he would still be able to use thunder mystic skills without the gift. However, the cultivation process of the thunder talisman usually took a long time, and the power from a talisman was ultimately not as strong as those gifted with thunder element. But if Yang Dingtian were thunder element gifted, he would be able and combine his gift along with the talisman, and the power of his attacks would be at a whole new level. S?a??h th?

Yang Dingtian slowly closed his eyes and thought in his mind, It would be a blessing if I were thunder element gifted, but it is fine even if I am not! Yang Dingtian is nervous yet excited at the same time, this is after all his first attempt practicing a mystic skill. He took a dozen deep breaths to tone his mood and started to insert qi into the scroll. The scroll lit up brightly in a split second and gave out a blue ray of light. After which, the extremely complicated qi path started to surface it by bit, and Yang Dingtians qi continued to advance along the path. Even though the scroll was only around three feet long on the surface, it was actually tens of thousands of meters long inside. Not only was it long, the thick layering and multiple curves and turn simply made it one of the most complicated routes in the world, sort of like an integrated electric circuit during the Earth era. All the qi of Yang Dingtian must go through the route on the secret scroll, undergo a makeover by it, and return to his body with new memories. Yang Dingtian inserted his qi bit by bit into the secret scroll, and time was also ticking by, and his practice went on. Chapter 181: Devil Heaven Split! Master Awakening! Chapter 181: Devil Heaven Split! Master Awakening!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian inserted his qi bit by bit into the secret scroll as time passed by. It took him five hours before all his qi completed the route on the secret scroll. Swoosh... All the qi returned to Yang Dingtians body. Right after this, a ball of blue flame slammed the secret scroll and burned it to ashes. Pow! Pow! A few strikes of thunderbolts appeared in Yang Dingtians mind, and he instantly got into the world of thunder element. Devil Heaven Split! This thunder mystic skill was called the Devil Heaven Split, and it was divided into six layers. The first layer was the Mountain Split, followed by the River Split, the Earth Split, the Ocean Split, Heaven and Earth Split, and lastly, the sixth and final layer, the Devil Heaven Split. The Devil Heaven Split was the highest level in this piece of thunder mystic skill, and it was also, without doubt, extremely powerful. S?a??h th? N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. At this point, the five hours that Yang Dingtian spent was only on studying the first layer, the Mountain Split. Pow! Pow! Pow! Yang Dingtians spirit stood between Heaven and Earth as countless strikes of thunder slammed down furiously, and a powerful gush of electricity rushed into his body. Of course, all of this was just an illusion. In fact, it was the qi that just returned from the secret scroll revamping his body. If Yang Dingtian were thunder gifted, then this gush of qi could trigger the thunder cells. However, if Yang Dingtian were not thunder gifted, then all of this would be useless. Countless strikes of thicker thunderbolts continued to hit Yang Dingtian furiously, causing his meridians to swell and discolor inch by inch repeatedly. This was an excruciating and dangerous process. If Yang Dingtians meridians were not gifted enough, it was very likely to burst directly and cause him to die. Therefore, it was useless for an untalented individual to get a high-level mystic skill scroll. Not only was the individual unable to master the skill, but it might also kill him. Another five hours had passed, Yang Dingtians body gradually recovered, that shade of terrible blue on him was finally fading away. Yang Dingtian slowly opened his eyes, and it was already completely dark all around. Learning this thunder mystic skill actually took him an entire day. Now came the moment to see if Yang Dingtian were thunder gifted or not. He stared at a small tree in front and started to generate his qi in preparation to use the thunder mystic skill, Mountain Split. If he were gifted with the thunder element, he would be able to generate a strike of thunder, and the power of the thunder would match with the level of gifts he had. But if he were not gifted with the thunder element, then there would obviously be no reaction at all. In the meantime, Yang Dingtian was still trying to generate the skill. A mystic skill was different from a martial skill. A martial skill could be activated in seconds, but a mystic skill would require some time upon activation as more qi was needed. Five seconds passed. Ten seconds passed. Fifteen seconds passed. Finally, Yang Dingtian brewed enough qi to generate the Mountain Split skill. His whole bodys meridians started to spin furiously, and the skill could be launched at any moment now. Mountain Split! Yang Dingtian roared as all the qi he had been brewing for the past fifteen seconds burst out together. Time did not retain the suspense for too long as the strike of thunder instantly flashed from the palm of Yang Dingtian and sliced the small tree into two halves, and the remains of it turned into a pile burning charcoal. Yes! Yang Dingtian shouted in joy as he looked at his hands in disbelief. He was actually gifted with the thunder element! This was one in a million probability, and he was really blessed with it! Moreover, he was able to destroy this small tree with a large bowl in his first attempt of thunder mystic skill, which meant that his level of gift for the thunder element was actually very high! It seemed like God really loved him too much, Yang Dingtian was still looking at the small tree in disbelief. The thunder element mystic skill was the rarest in the world, and also the most unguardable element! For the other four elements, the ice element clashed with the fire element, while the wind element clashed with the gold element. But not any of these four elements clashed with the thunder element. After rejoicing over his newly discovered gift, Yang Dingtian realized that he had actually exhausted all his qi for that one skill just now. It was really shocking to realize that all of his qi was only sufficient to slice a small tree. Of course, this was only the most basic level of the Mountain Split, so it was normal that Yang Dingtian didnt know how to utilize his qi effectively. Therefore, Yang Dingtian had to continue to study and master the higher grades of the Mountain Split for the power of the skill to be greater with a lesser amount of qi used. But how was Yang Dingtian supposed to proceed from this point? It was impossible for him to just repeatedly execute the Mountain Split over and over again, it would be a total waste of qi for him. No matter what, the first thing he should do was recharging his qi, or he would be in trouble if he were to encounter any enemy. Yang Dingtian immediately went to the side of a pool and began to recharge his qi. Of course, the qi that Yang Dingtian was generating was for battle purposes. Therefore, the qi did not need to be thoroughly refined, and it only took one day and one night to fill the entire meridians and qi vessel. However, this type of qi was filled with impurities and could only be used for combat, not for training. Only total refined qi could be used to break through the qi vessel. The reason why the Five Elements Hall was a good place for training was that the qi over there was dense and pure, and could be used to break through the qi vessel without refining directly. Also, the impure combat qi might lead to swelling in the meridians if it stayed in Yang Dingtians body for too long. If that were to happen, his qi would take longer times to breakthrough, and eventually be unable to breakthrough. At that point, it was necessary to go through a thorough body cleanse to unblock the meridians. Of course, master Dongfang Niemie had already cleansed Yang Dingtians meridians to the third layer in the snow world. But that was already awhile back, this time Yang Dingtian had to go through another cleanse, otherwise it would be tough for him to break through the Martial Mystic level. Yang Dingtian gradually immersed himself into the qi general process, and his whole body and mind would go into complete rest. Child... A familiar voice said in Yang Dingtians mind. Yang Dingtians body instantly trembled, and he immediately opened his eyes. He couldnt believe what he had just heard, so he immediately tried to refocus to make sure what he heard just now wasnt an illusion. Master, is that you? Yang Dingtian trembled and asked. Its me... Dongfang Niemie replied. You must have gone through a tough time lately. Yang Dingtian was over the moon and was on the verge of bursting out those tears of joy. He finally heard the voice of his master Dongfang Niemie after eight months. I almost lost my soul when I tried to control that vicious sword spirit the last time. It took me a long time to gradually regather the broken divine conscience together, and so I got extremely exhausted to the extent that I fell into sleep instantly. You triggered and woke me up while learning the thunder element mystic skill. Dongfang Niemie said. What happened during this time of my sleep? You actually managed to master a thunder mystic skill? The voice of Dongfang Niemie started to tremble as he continued, You are already a five star Great Mystic Martial Master now. How long have I been sleeping? It has already been eight months, master. Yang Dingtian replied. You managed to break through the 20th level and become a five star Great Mystic Martial Master in just eight months? Dongfang Niemie asked in disbelief. How did you do it? Yang Dingtian replied, I fell from the coal-seam fire disk after forging the youngling sword at the Fire Cloud Devil Cave and found a secret realm, Five Elements Hall. I was there for ninety-eight days and managed to transform into a five star Great Mystic Martial Master. In addition to that, I got a thunder talisman and this thunder mystic skill secret scroll through the infernal trials. A thunder mystic skill, the first mystic skill you learned, was actually a one in a billion type of skill. Dongfang Niemie said. I really suspect God sent you, you are so lucky that even your master is getting jealous. Dongfang Niemie continued after the joke, Tell me what happened in these months while I was asleep, child. Yes! After I defeated Qin Shaobai in the duel trial at Cloud Heaven City, I was threatened by Ximen Ju to once again use the violent sword spirit in the Night Owl Strange Blade. And that almost caused your death and got you into a deep sleep, I nearly got swallowed by the sword spirit and was about to die. It was Yanyan who took me to the Sea of Hades alone... Yang Dingtian continued and took half an hour before he finished telling Dongfang Niemie everything that happened in the past eight months. It was really tough for you, kid. Yanyan is a good child, much better than Dongfang Bingling. She is the most suitable wife for you. Dongfang Niemie said. I will be alongside you throughout your journey from now on. Great... Yang Dingtian instantly burst in excitement. What are your plans now, child? Asked Dongfang Niemie. Yang Dingtian says, Dugu Fengwu destroyed my ship, so I have to wait for a passing ship to get me to the north west continent. Then, I will find a way to get the third tier of the Pig Slaying Sword Art in Cloud Heaven City and try my best to break through the Great Martial Mystic level within a month. After that, I will go and look for the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame. There are still eight months to the battle of ownership for Cloud Heaven City, and my biggest opponent at that would be Ximen Ju. So I must at least break through the Martial Ancestor level to stand a chance against him. Therefore, my two biggest breakthrough opportunities would be learning the third tier of the Pig Slaying Sword Art and mastering the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame! Child, how are you planning to go to Cloud Heaven City to get the third tier of the Pig Slaying Sword Art? asked Dongfang Niemie. Yang Dingtian went silent for a moment and said, I intend to go to Cloud Heaven City with a fake identity of a Hidden Sect member again, and directly demand the sword art. Also, I want to see what happened to sister Ning Ning. Chapter 182: Mystic Flame’s Location! Mind Scroll! Chapter 182: Mystic Flames Location! Mind Scroll!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales The voice of Dongfang Niemie started to tremble upon hearing what Yang Dingtian had said. Child, you must be out of your mind; your actions may lead to horrifying consequences. Pretending to be a Hidden Sect member may be the biggest crime ever! You dont know about the Hidden Sect, but they hold the most notable position in the world. Although people always think that Yin Yang Sect and the Mystic Heaven Sect are in the same tier as the Hidden Sect, but we are actually nothing as compared to them! Dongfang Niemie said. Dongfang Niemie continued with a heavy tone, Anyway, pretending to be a member of the Hidden Sect may be way more dangerous than you imagined. Once your cover is blown, you will face annihilation from the world. Apart from that, if there really are members of the Hidden Sect around in the world, you will face their trial and eventually be killed by them even if you are not exposed. No one in the world can escape the judgment of the Hidden Sect. Yang Dingtian replied, But I couldnt think of a better idea. On the other hand, I had already pretended to be a Hidden Sect member once under the threat of Dugu Fengwu. Lets think through this slowly... We are still a few days away from Cloud Heaven City anyway, Dongfang Niemie said. Yes, at least we have to find a way to leave this West End Island, Yang Dingtian said. After he finished his sentence, something important suddenly came to his mind, and he said, Master, I have a half pieced map with me, I suspect it is a Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map, but I couldnt understand the words written on it, can you read them? I can understand ninety percent of the languages in this world, Dongfang Niemie said. S?a?ch* Th? ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian immediately retrieved the map that Ning Rouer gave him from his ring of storage, placed it in front of his eyes, and started to transmit the map to his master. Dongfang Niemie spent a good ten minutes looking at the map; his pace of breathing got faster and faster as he started to get more and more worked up. Of course, he was only a divine conscience who didnt need to breathe, but he still instinctively reserved his original habit. Child, the good news is that it is definitely a Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map, Dongfang Niemie said. Really... Yang Dingtian got instantly filled with excitement. Initially, he was suspected that this was a Heaven and Earth tier Mystic Flame map, but now his master Dongfang Niemie had confirmed that his suspicion was right, how could he not be happy. If you were to say that mystic skills were the symbol for the strong, then the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map would be the symbol for the best of the best. Almost every martial artist in this world could only convert the mystic flame of the beasts to their own core flame. However, there were definitely no more than ten men who could convert the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame to their core flame. Those who could do so were the absolute overlord at their side of the world, and also the best among the best. Yin Yang Sects Patriarch Dongfang Niemie, Mystic Heaven Sects Patriarch Zhu Qingzhu, Cloud Heaven Citys Lord Ximen Wuya, Northwest Qin Citys Lord Qin Wanchou, Temple of Ten Thousand Bloods Temple Master Dugu Xiao, and many others. Of course, if the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame symbolized the best of the best, then the soul sword would undoubtedly be the symbol of the extremely best, even a tier higher than the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame. The only known people who have already successfully reached the soul sword level were only Dongfang Niemie, Ximen Wuya, and the Patriarch of the Hidden Sect. However, Dongfang Niemie and Ximen Wuya were both no longer around, and the remaining Patriarch of the Hidden Sect had also withdrawn from the world for two hundred years. In other words, there was not a single known person in the current world with the real soul sword. There were only three known individuals that were preparing to practice the soul sword, Dugu Fengwu, Dongfang Bingling, and Yang Dingtian. Even Qin Huaiyu was not planning to practice the soul sword, according to rumors. In the past, the extremely gifted Ximen Yanyan also had no intention to practice the soul sword. And the extremely vital key to practicing the soul sword would be this Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame! But there is also bad news, Dongfang Niemie said. I am capable of understanding ninety percent of the languages in this world, but the words on this map are among the ten percent that I cant understand. After hearing his masters words, Yang Dingtian was instantly struck by a sense of disappointment. Dongfang Niemie was arguably the most knowledgeable person in this world, if even he couldnt understand the words on the map, then who else would be capable of doing so? However, Dongfang Niemie continued by saying, I may not understand the words on this, but I know the originating race for these words. Which race is it? Yang Dingtian asked impatiently. The Fox Race! Dongfang Niemie said. Yang Dingtian got stunned for a moment, as he instantly recalled the thousand years old mystic vixen that was sealed at the dungeon of Cloud Heaven City. They are not human beings? Yang Dingtian asked. Half human, half beast, thats why they are called the demi-human race. Their genes are not as gifted as the beasts, but they are smarter than them. Mystic Meridians are more gifted than humans but not as civilized as humans. Their population is around ten times smaller than humans, and even so, they are still divided into hundreds of different races and always have internal wars. That is why even though they have their own civilization, and control the East Parting Grasslands, they were never a threat to humans for thousands of years. Yang Dingtian instantly felt amused, who would have known that such a demi-human beast race actually existed. Master, there is a thousand-year-old mystic vixen at the dungeon of Cloud Heaven City. Do you think she will understand these writings? Highly possible, Dongfang Niemie said. The vixen may be a beast, but after all they do have the genes of the fox race, they should understand the writings of the fox race. If thats the case, I would really have to make a trip to Cloud Heaven City, said Yang Dingtian. The consequences of faking as a Hidden Sect member is really very serious.... But at this point in time, perhaps the vixen is the only person that can understand the writings on this. Dongfang Niemie said. Master, there will also be a solution for everything. We are still eight thousand miles away from Cloud Heaven City anyway, we can decide on how to sneak into the city when we are close, said Yang Dingtian. Im afraid this is our only choice now, Dongfang Niemie said. Oh yes, master, there is one more thing. When I was using the thunder element mystic skill Mountain Split earlier, I have to accumulate my qi for fifteen seconds first, and all my qi is only sufficient for one attack. It seems like my Mountain Split is still at a very low level, not only does it not have much effect, I still have to waste such a huge amount of qi. Are there any methods that can increase the level of the Mountain Split? Making it able to produce more power with lesser qi. Haha... Dongfang Niemie laughed instantly. Poor child, how can you not have a mentor by your side to guide you when you are learning a mystic skill for the first time, this is my fault as your master. Indeed, Yang Dingtian was completely clueless towards the learning of a mystic skill; the only thing he knew was to insert the qi into the scroll and start learning. After that, begin to build up the mystic skill and execute it for an attack. As for such a high-level mystic skill, he was really completely clueless. To increase the level of mystic skill, you will need mental strength. Martial art skills only require brute strength and mystic skills to control it. But mystic art, being a higher level and more complicated method of attack, will require mental strength to control. The greater your mental strength, the faster your mystic skill will improve, and of course, the effect would be stronger, and mystic strength needed would be lesser. Speaking of mental strength, Yang Dingtian immediately thought of sister Ning Ning. She could actually use mental mystic art to control four experts to the extent that they couldnt even move; she was, without doubt, extremely gifted in terms of mental strength. Then, how do I increase my mental strength? Yang Dingtian asked. Learn it through the mind scroll, and then go into the state of meditation. Sadly, this remote island doesnt have much mind scroll, said Yang Dingtian Are mentally gifted people scarce? Yang Dingtian asked. Everyone is mentally gifted, just that the level of gift differs among all individuals, said Dongfang Niemie. Ximen Ningning, she is the most mentally gifted person I have ever seen, one of a kind! Then, are mind scrolls very precious? Yang Dingtian asked. There are tons of it everywhere, you can buy good ones with money, said Dongfang Niemie. On second thoughts, Yang Dingtian understood that this should be the case. After all, there were so many mystic art practitioners in the world, and improving mental strength was a must for mystic arts, so mind scrolls were definitely not hard to get hold of. Speaking of mind scroll, Yang Dingtian recalled that there were still many items inside the ring of storage sister Ning Ning gave him. However, Yang Dingtian felt that he was only borrowing the ring; many items inside were probably Ning Nings personal items. Even though they shared a close relationship, Yang Dingtian still thought that he had no right to look through those items. Come to think of now, there were indeed many scrolls inside the ring of storage, perhaps one of them would be the mind scroll. At this moment, Yang Dingtian couldnt help but search through the ring of storage, and there were indeed a few scrolls inside. It seemed like sister Ning Nings mystic strength couldnt be used for attack purposes, and so those should be mind scrolls. Under normal circumstances, the level of scrolls was also related to the color of it. The lowest level was a mixed color, followed by grey, white, blue, red, black, and gold. Lastly, the highest level would be colorless. The colorless mind scroll, which was a level nine scroll, was the highest level mind scroll in the world. Yang Dingtian instinctively wanted to take the highest level colorless scroll, but he suddenly recalled that thinking that all these scrolls were one-time use items, which meant they get destroyed after using them. The fact that Ning Ning sister placed these scrolls here meant that she had obviously not used them before, and these scrolls were precious, so how could he use it for himself. Yang Dingtians attention started to switch onto the golden scroll, but he still couldnt bear to use it away. Anyway, he might not be as mentally gifted; using a high-level scroll might just be a waste. As for the black colored scroll, there was only one, but Yang Dingtian still couldnt bear to use it away. At that moment, Yang Dingtian suddenly lost at which scroll to choose. Master, which scroll should I choose? Yang Dingtian asked Dongfang Niemies conscience in his mind. Chapter 183: Spiritual Tribulation! Mystic Skill Strengthening! Chapter 183: Spiritual Tribulation! Mystic Skill Strengthening!Silly child, these are all spiritual scrolls, and some spiritual mystic skill manuals. Spiritual scrolls arent rare, but spiritual mystic skills rarity is only inferior to thunder element mystic skill manuals. Dongfang Niemie suddenly said, Right now, you are only going to learn the spiritual scrolls. Ahh... Yang Dingtian spoke in an embarrassed tone, Master, then which of these are spiritual mystic skill manuals? The colorless, gold and black colors are all spiritual mystic skill manuals. The red scrolls on the left are mystic skill manuals; the meditation scrolls are on the right. Dongfang Niemie let out a gasp when he spoke until this point. I am now even more curious about Ximen Ningnings identity. These three spiritual mystic skill scrolls are all priceless and extremely rare. Even the black mystic skill, which is the lowest grade, would cause a huge commotion if brought out. Right now, there are actually three and even the most superior grade, the colorless scroll is here. Apart from these, are the rest spiritual scrolls? Is there a difference for the height of the spiritual scrolls rollers? Yang Dingtian asked. Spiritual scrolls are meant to cultivate spiritual energy and are different from mystic and martial skills. There isnt any concept to space and time. Dongfang Niemie said, These so-called spiritual scrolls would guide you to enter the depths of the dream realm. Inside the dream realm, time and space could be unbounded. In reality, it might be two hours, but in the dream realm, it could be days, months, or even longer. The higher the grade of the scrolls, the deeper the dream realm. If ones innate talent werent competent, ones spirit would be directly expelled or lost in meditation forever and unable to wake for eternity. Wouldnt it be dangerous to comprehend high-grade spiritual scrolls? Yang Dingtian asked. It might be dangerous to others, but it will not affect you. Dongfang Niemie said, With my divine consciousness around, you will never get lost, and I can wake you at any time. Then I will choose the red spiritual scroll, said Yang Dingtian. Thus, Yang Dingtian took the red spiritual scroll on the right and opened it up slowly. The spiritual scrolls were different from other manuals. Inside it was like a turbulent painting, like the combination of impressionism and ink painting. It looked mysterious and distant, there were countless fluctuations of the painting, and it looked like a complete world inside it. After Yang Dingtian opened up the scroll, he poured in a wisp of his mystic qi to carry out the learning. Child, the crucial point to the cultivation of spiritual scrolls is in the depth of meditation. It is best to find an absolutely quiet, ice-cold, and remote environment so that you can meditate and cultivate your spiritual energy, leading to better results, Dongfang Niemie explained. Yang Dingtian got startled as he didnt expect it to have such particular methods. But right now, he just so happened to be at a side of a pool. He could simply go into the depths of the pool to meditate and cultivate. Yang Dingtian consumed a qi condensation elixir, which would allow him to go breathless for three days and nights. Afterward, he grabbed the scroll and jumped into the pool. In an instant, an icy-cold qi presence enveloped his entire body, making it feel as though his qi presence was solidifying. The icy-cold water had isolated Yang Dingtians body with the outside world, making it a great place for meditation. This pool was more than a dozen meters deep, and it was the best place to use for meditation. After opening up the spiritual scroll, Yang Dingtian gradually poured in some mystic qi. Instantly, the world inside the scroll had suddenly enlarged and developed a powerful and attractive force that sucked Yang Dingtians soul inside vigorously. Yang Dingtians spiritual consciousness seemed to have entered a time-space tunnel, and he was shuttling through rapidly as the sceneries were constantly changing. A few minutes later, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the time-space shuttling had stopped. Yang Dingtian discovered that he was situated in an unfamiliar and surreal environment. It was truly incomparably surreal, and it felt as though every detail was real. This was the sixth-grade spiritual scroll, Indistinct Exile! This place was a dazzling palace that was gigantic, majestic, and stifling. Because this was an underground palace, right now, Yang Dingtian was in the deepest part of the palace, and in front of him was a remarkably beautiful woman wearing a palace attire. It is nice to meet you, tribulation prospect. Welcome to the Hell Palace. But this palace has been submerged in the underground for 10,000 years, and a violent demon is about to be born in the palace, and it would completely destroy everyone inside this palace. Hence, you have to escape immediately. The palace attired beauty said, The first floor is 3,800 units in size. There are 19,000 rooms and 39,000 routes, but only one of the routes can help you to escape. The scenery of all the routes is almost the same with the exceptions of minute differences. You only have four hours to escape the first floor. This was a classic labyrinth scroll. The spiritual scrolls had many categories, like the escape scrolls, maze scrolls, chess play scrolls, perception scrolls, and many more. But without any exceptions, they all tempered the spiritual energy. The practitioners would be inside the dream realm, and the time would be extended by a few folds, allowing them to cultivate the spiritual energy inside the scrolls world. In this world, spiritual scrolls, which were sixth-grade and above, were left behind from the ancient world. This worlds Spiritual Masters produced those scrolls which were below the sixth-grade. It was needless to say that this spiritual scroll that Yang Dingtian was cultivating was left behind from ancient times because this worlds Spiritual Masters were unable to construct such complicated and giant worlds. Spiritual energy was separated into static, cohesive, calculation, and perception. Static was the ability to calm down. Cohesive was the ability to concentrate the consciousness. The calculation and perception were the abilities to manifest the strength of spiritual energy. How was one going to make the mystic skill faster, stronger, consume less mystic qi? All these required perception. How was one going to use countless mystic qi to construct an extremely complicated attack pattern? It would require a powerful perception to sense more mystic qi and control more mystic qi. It was just like learning stratagems, how to arrange battle formations, and control the armies in battle. A brilliant general would be able to command the armies like their own arms and would be able to win a battle with just 1,000 soldiers. An incompetent general would require 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers because he couldnt control them properly and had to make up with numbers, meaning to sacrifice the soldiers in vain. The maze realms were able to temper the cohesive and calculation factors. ******************* After listening to the explanation of the palace attired beauty, Yang Dingtian immediately set off and prepared to escape the underground palace. In this dream realm, Yang Dingtian only had four hours to escape the palace. This was just the first level of the dream realm; hence four hours were equivalent to two hours of real-time. Yang Dingtian had advanced less than ten meters before three routes appeared in front of him, and they were exactly the same. He chose the left route, and after walking less than twenty meters, another fork appeared, and this time there were four routes. Yang Dingtian still picked the leftmost route. Just like this, Yang Dingtian didnt know how many routes had he taken, and in less than half an hour, he realized he had returned to his starting point. It was needless to say that the first attempt was a failure. For the second attempt, Yang Dingtian set off again and took around 40 minutes before returning to the starting point. For the third attempt, Yang Dingtian wasnt in a hurry to set off again. If he continued to walk blindly like this, he would never be able to escape the palace even if he had his entire life. He had to remember the logical connection with each route, which instantly caused Yang Dingtians speed to slow down. Because, for every ten meters he advanced, his mind would have to remember more data. When Yang Dingtian had walked three hundred meters, his mind had to remember more than a hundred data, which all had complicated correlations. This was an extreme test for his brains limits. Once he successfully escaped this first floor of the palace, his brain would be able to remember thousands of data and be able to understand the correlating logic between each data clearly. When that happened, there would naturally be a great boost to his spiritual energy. This could originally be achieved in the real world, but it was extremely hard to imagine such a profound world just based on the imagination. Furthermore, the real world didnt have so much time. After walking more than three hundred meters, Yang Dingtians brain had to remember thousands of data. Furthermore, inside all those data, there were plenty that were useless as there was only one escape route. All those useless data only had one use, and it was to conduct the process of elimination. After walking five hundred meters, Yang Dingtians brain had completely collapsed. All the data in his mind had instantly mixed up, and all the logical connections were in chaos. This third attempt was still a complete failure, but this time, he had found 10% of the correct route. Yang Dingtian had almost got a knack of this game and had started his fourth attempt. But when he was less than 15 meters into his fourth attempt, the entire palace was trembling. The ground split open, and a giant demon crawled out and started to destroy everything. The majestic and giant palace, the thick golden pillars, were all smashed in a single blow by the demons sharp claws. Soon enough, the entire palace had been completely destroyed, including Yang Dingtian, who was instantly killed by the flames breathed out by the demon. Ahh... After suffering the scorching pain, Yang Dingtian had abruptly awakened. s?a??h th? n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. After he woke up, he realized that everything was fake and had all happened within the dream realm. He had this lingering fear and felt that the dream realm inside the spiritual scroll was too surreal. Afterward, he couldnt help but feel upset. He had been inside the spiritual world for four hours but was only able to complete 10% of the maze. Furthermore, it was only the first level of this scroll. Master, I have only completed 10%. Isnt this too difficult? Yang Dingtian asked. Dongfang Niemie laughed heartily and replied, Are you not satisfied with 10%? This is already a great result for the first attempt at the spiritual cultivation. Others would normally start with a first-grade scroll, and be it the chess plays or mazes are much simpler and smaller. Yours is a sixth-grade scroll, and it is a maze of a few thousand units. It involves the calculation of a few tens of thousands of data. Of course, it is challenging. Immediately after, Dongfang Niemie said, Furthermore, escaping the maze isnt the objective. The objective is to make progress in the cultivation of spiritual energy. Dont look at the fact that you failed the tribulation mission; your spiritual energy should have been enhanced by quite a bit. If you dont believe it, try it with your mystic skill attack. There are already some results? Yang Dingtian was pleasantly surprised. This is the first cultivation, and there will definitely be obvious results, Dongfang Niemie responded. Yang Dingtian impatiently swam out of the water and started to condense his mystic qi. He controlled the flow of the mystic qi and started to accumulate it. Mountain Split... This time it merely took twelve seconds to complete the condensation. Afterward, powerful energy burst out. Bang... Thunder split open from Yang Dingtians palm. It was three inches long and cleaved hard on the giant boulder, which was partially submerged in water. Boom... This 500-kilogram giant boulder was left with a deep charred crack, which was five inches deep and two feet long. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian quickly felt the mystic qi in his body, and there was actually a third of his mystic qi left over. This spiritual scroll was indeed incredible. After his first meditation, his spiritual energy was enhanced greatly. As compared to his first time executing the thunder mystic skill, Mountain Split, it was faster by 20%, stronger than a third, and the consumption of mystic qi was also reduced by a third. Yang Dingtian was extremely surprised. Afterward, he was in a hurry to dive to the bottom of the pool to continue his second meditation. It was still the Indistinct Exile, and he still had to escape from the first floor of the underground palace. The situation was exactly the same as before, but there was a fraudulent difference as the palace maze had actually changed, and the routes had changed. The rooms in the palace had changed too. It meant to say that his previous experiences and memories were all useless, and he had to restart from the beginning. He had to rely on enhancing his spiritual energy to successfully escape the first floor of the maze. As a result, Yang Dingtian had to start the challenging maze escape again and started to remember, analyze, and calculate the data. Even though the maze was completely different, with his previous experience, Yang Dingtian was able to walk over 700 meters, and after using the process of elimination from over 3,000 data, he was able to calculate 15% of the correct route. But subsequently, Yang Dingtians brain was unable to contain more data and was unable to continue the complicated calculations. It felt as though his entire brain was splitting apart. In fact, even an elite prodigy would be able to remember thousands of data and conduct complicated calculations. Right now, one would require a powerful perception to find the pattern to reduce the calculations significantly, and there wouldnt be a need to remember so many complicated and useless data. After his first failed attempt, Yang Dingtian started his second attempt at the tribulation and had gradually found a pattern before he conducted the intricate calculations. After doing it in this manner, the results were better as expected. Yang Dingtian had traveled over 950 meters and completed 23% of the correct route. But when he progressed further, the pattern started to lose its effectiveness, and Yang Dingtian failed the tribulation again. Just as Yang Dingtian was going to start his next attempt, that terrifying giant demon appeared again and destroyed the dream realm along with Yang Dingtian, sending him back to the real world. When Yang Dingtian woke up, he immediately went to the surface of the water and absorbed mystic qi. A few hours later, he finally filled his qi vessel and mystic meridians with mystic qi that contained impurities. Immediately after, Yang Dingtian started to test his Mountain Split mystic skill again. Nine seconds, Yang Dingtian merely required nine seconds to condense the Mountain Split! Bang... Half-foot blue thunder struck out abruptly and hit on that giant boulder. In an instant, an eight-inch deep, and three feet long crack appeared on the giant boulder. This time, Yang Dingtian had 45% of his mystic qi left after executing the Mountain Split. Chapter 184: Burst in Strength! Chapter 184: Burst in Strength!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales After the second spiritual tribulation, Yang Dingtians mystic skill had improved once again as expected, and the scale of improvement was still rather significant. As the accumulation time, it was faster by three seconds as compared to the previous improvement. The strength of thunder had increased by 30% to 40%. The consumption of mystic qi had decreased from two thirds to only 55% This spiritual tribulation truly had some incredible effects. No wonder many people had been engrossed in meditation and had even forgotten to cultivate their martial skills. Because, after meditation, the improvements in the mystic skills were simply too obvious. Suddenly, Yang Dingtian couldnt help but ask, Master, how is my spiritual innate talent? Dongfang Niemie didnt directly reply and said, Yang Dingtian, spiritual innate talent is only 20% related to the mystic meridian innate talent. Only during the execution of spiritual mystic skill would it be related to the mystic meridian innate talent. A weak person might have an exceptionally high spiritual talent, which is why this worlds Beast Speakers all have very high spiritual talent. In fact, all of this worlds Spiritual Masters have ordinary mystic meridian talents. Even though Dongfang Niemie didnt say it, Yang Dingtian already understood his masters meaning. He shouldnt expect his spiritual talent to be exceptional because of his Nine Yang Mystic Meridians. Spiritual innate talent was simply about the brain. Of course, when talking about the brain, it wasnt entirely related to being clever and intelligent. Many of the patients with mental disorders might also have very high spiritual innate talent. Your mystic meridian talent is not even 1 in a trillion. Your spiritual talent is also at the top of the elites and should be ranked in the top 3% of the world, Dongfang Niemie said. The top 3% might sound incredible, but in fact, it meant that there were at least 100 million individuals who had the spiritual talent that surpassed Yang Dingtian. But Yang Dingtian wasnt upset, as being in the top 3% was already good enough. You couldnt possibly ask for the heavens to give you the 1 in a trillion Nine Yang Mystic Meridians and also give you the 1 in a trillion spiritual innate talent, right? Dont worry, as long as you arent seeking to become a Spiritual Master, your spiritual talent is more than competent. The amount of power that spiritual energy could increase the mystic skill in the early stage is very important. But when at the later stage, it is almost impossible to make even an inch of progress. Even if the spiritual energy doubles in strength, there might not even be a 1% increase in the mystic skills power. Apart from Spiritual Masters, there is almost no one else who would be engrossed in spiritual tribulation. It will be good enough as long as it is sufficient. One must grasp a balance, Dongfang Niemie explained. I understand. I dont have to strive for #1 in everything and win everything, Yang Dingtian responded. It is very good that you understand these things as they are very important, Dongfang Niemie replied. This time, Yang Dingtian didnt immediately submerge into the bottom of the pool to conduct the spiritual tribulation. Even though the tribulation was like a game and it was very fun. He started to act like before as he cultivated his martial skill and the Pig Slaying Sword Art. After cultivating for six hours, it was time to greet the sunset again. Today, there still wasnt any ship that came from the surface of the sea. After the sky turned dark, Yang Dingtian submerged into the bottom of the water to conduct the spiritual tribulation again. Two hours of real-time was equivalent to four hours of spiritual dream realm time. This time, in two hours, Yang Dingtian had completed a third of the maze as he had realized the second calculation pattern. But after he went through a third of the correct route, the pattern lost its effectiveness again. Yang Dingtian had to search for the third pattern in the vast amount of data. After the scorching flames awakened him from the giant demon, Yang Dingtian didnt emerge from the water to test the Mountain Split. He rested for a moment before he entered the spiritual tribulation again. This time, in two hours, Yang Dingtian finally found the mazes third pattern, which allowed him to make it through half the maze. It was a pity when Yang Dingtian surpassed the halfway mark, and he realized that the third pattern had lost effectiveness again. This time, after he woke up, he rested for a moment before he entered spiritual tribulation yet again. This was the third time he had entered the spiritual tribulation today. This time, Yang Dingtian found the fourth pattern of the maze, but he realized the route was still wrong. Hence, he was unable to make it past the halfway mark of the route. It at the moment, when he was going to leave the dream realm did he realize the fifth pattern, which must be applied together with the fourth pattern for it to work. But, there wasnt enough time, and he was quickly evicted from the dream realm. This time, without any rest, Yang Dingtian immediately entered the spiritual tribulation for the fourth time. On the fourth time, Yang Dingtians luck had exploded, and when he completed 60% of the route, he actually found the sixth pattern, which was then combined with the fifth and fourth patterns, allowing him to complete 80% of the route directly. It meant to say that there was just another 20% before Yang Dingtian successfully completed the first level of tribulation for this spiritual scroll. By the time he awakened from the fourth tribulation, it just happened to be daybreak. It was just in time for Yang Dingtian to conduct the mystic qi breathing cycle. After a few hours of breathing cycles, Yang Dingtian mystic meridians and qi sea were filled with battle mystic qi again. Afterward, Yang Dingtian began a new test of the Mountain Split mystic skill. This time, I have completed 80% of the spiritual tribulation. I hope that the Mountain Split can have a similarly significant improvement. Yang Dingtian thought in his heart. Subsequently, he closed his eyes gradually and accumulated the mystic qi and organized the mystical thunder mystic skill. Bang... A bolt of thunder struck out from his palm abruptly. Only three seconds were needed to execute the attack. Previously, Yang Dingtian required nine seconds, but he only required three seconds this time. Yang Dingtian was instantly overjoyed at the current results. Furthermore, the thunder was actually a foot in thickness, which was almost twice as thick as before. There was a foot deep and five feet long creak that was left on the giant boulder, which meant to say that the power of the Mountain Split had been increased by over two folds. Finally, when taking a look at the mystic qi consumed, Yang Dingtian was pleasantly surprised to find out that he had more than 80% of his mystic qi left. It also meant that when Yang Dingtian was filled with mystic qi, it would be enough for him to execute the Mountain Split for five times. In the beginning, he was only able to execute one time, and the power wasnt even comparable to a portion of the current Mountain Splits power. The effects of the spiritual tribulation had greatly increased the power of the mystic skill. Immediately after, Yang Dingtian cultivated his mystic skill again, and after cultivating for eight hours, he had exhausted all of the mystic qi that was left within his body. When the sky turned dark, Yang Dingtian entered the bottom of the pool to conduct the spiritual tribulation again. Yang Dingtian had confidence that he could successfully escape the maze tonight, completing the first level of the scrolls spiritual tribulation. But Yang Dingtian found out that it was obviously much harder than he had imagined. At the start, Yang Dingtian had smoothly completed 95% of the route and had only used half an hour. But for the remaining 5%, he simply couldnt complete it. On his second and third attempts, he was still stuck at the 95% mark of the route. Yang Dingtian and tried every method and possible answers for the last 5% of the route. After eliminating all the wrong routes, he was actually unable to find a correct route. Hence, Yang Dingtian had an insane idea for an instant. Could it be that his direction had been wrong from the beginning, and 95% of the correct route was actually a trap, and all those patterns that he found earlier were also traps? Therefore, on his fourth attempt, Yang Dingtian decided to abandon the 95% route that he previously completed. He had chosen to start from the beginning. He had totally discarded all the patterns that he had found from the countless data and restarted everything from the beginning. This required courage and faith, but those were things that Yang Dingtian didnt lack. S?a?ch* Th? N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. This tribulation had a total time limit of four hours. Three hours had already passed, and Yang Dingtian was still like a headless fly that was scuttling everywhere. He couldnt even find 1% of the correct route and didnt discover any pattern. Just as he was about to give up completely, he suddenly found a brand new pattern. Afterward, he swiftly found the first 10% of the route and didnt return back to the starting point. This route was completely different from the previous 95% completed route. Immediately after, he made it through 20%, 30%, and 40%. In the last hour, Yang Dingtian was exploring with shocking speed and was unprecedently fast. When there were only five minutes left, Yang Dingtian had gotten through 95% of this route, and there was still that last 5% before he could escape this maze and complete the first level of this scrolls spiritual tribulation, and he would also be able to see what the second levels dream realm looked like. In this instant, Yang Dingtians heart was feeling apprehensive and fearful, just like before. What if he couldnt find the last 5% of the route? What if this was another trap? In the end, Yang Dingtian was simply overly anxious. The last 5% went very smoothly, and he was slightly stuck for a moment before it got clear. Right at the last second, Yang Dingtian could see the exit. It was a glisten golden door, and outside was snow-white radiance. I finally completed it... Yang Dingtian cheered out in his heart and rushed out quickly. Swish... There was a white flash, and the scenery changed instantly. He had walked out of the first floors underground maze and had completed the first level of the maze scrolls tribulation. Just as the second floors dream realm was about to appear in his vision, the time limit of the tribulation was up, and Yang Dingtian was immediately pulled back to the real world. ***************************** When Yang Dingtian opened his eyes, it was already daytime. Just in time for me to do the mystic qi breathing cycle. I will then test the Mountain Split again to see how much improvement I have achieved. Yang Dingtian was extremely expectant as the previous results of the spiritual tribulation were significant and had helped his thunder mystic skill make a rapid progression. This time, he had completed the first level of the spiritual tribulation and was truly looking forward to seeing the breakthrough for his mystic skill. But immediately after, he noticed the serene pool actually had abnormal sounds, and he couldnt help but lift his head up. There was an extremely captivating scene that came into his vision, and it had caught him off guard. Right above him, there was actually a woman swimming in the water. He might not be able to see the face of the woman clearly, but her figure was remarkably great. She was just like a mermaid, and her legs were astonishingly long. Chapter 185: Leaving the Island! Brigand Yang Dingtian! Chapter 185: Leaving the Island! Brigand Yang Dingtian!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Of course, she was wearing a tight-fitting dress that was stuck on her body due to the water. Therefore, it couldnt be counted as a severe breach of conduct. Her swimming ability was extremely good. It was really similar to a fish that was filled with energy and strength in the water. Yang Dingtian rarely saw such a beautiful and healthy body curves that were exactly like a mermaid. Yang Dingtian didnt stare at her for long before lowering his head quickly as he turned his gaze away. After which, he hid underwater as usual. If he was to head out right now, he would never be able to clear the misunderstanding. Therefore, it would be better for him to wait until this lady had finished swimming and leave before he would float up. S?a?ch* Th? N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. All in all, this was good news since someone had unexpectedly come to this island. This signified that there were ships around since there were people here. With the ships around, this implied that Yang Dingtian would be able to leave this island. But unexpectedly, this lady kept on swimming without an end. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but grow somewhat anxious. This wasnt the main issue. The main problem was this woman had actually starting diving down. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but grow anxious. He could only pray that this woman wouldnt dive till his side and discover him. But things would always turn out exactly like what a person wished. That woman had submerged to the depths very quickly. After which, she discovered Yang Dingtian, who was under the water. At first, she was in shock as she revealed an indignant gaze. Subsequently, she rapidly swam upstream like a fish, she then reached ashore and disappeared from Yang Dingtians field of vision. Yang Dingtian didnt head up immediately because he wanted to give the lady ample time. Ten minutes later, Yang Dingtian swam upstream with all his strength as he felt that the lady ashore ought to have dressed appropriately. He immediately saw the woman was holding onto a sharp sword on her hand once he surfaced. She stood at the shore and thrust at Yang Dingtian suddenly. ********************* Lecher, eat my sword! It turned out that this woman had been waiting for Yang Dingtian to show himself while keeping her guard up and holding onto her sword ashore. The thrust was ruthless and sharp. It pierced towards Yang Dingtians chest directly. Yang Dingtian joined his fingers to form a sword as he wedged the incoming sword in between his fingers. After that, he borrowed the force to leap out of the water as he hopped ashore. Lecher, accept your death. That woman was not willing to listen to his excuses as the sharp sword on her hand was thrust over once again. Although Yang Dingtian had fully consumed all of the mystic qi in his body, he was still able to block off this womans sword easily due to his sword mastery level because he had cultivated the worlds number-one Pig Slaying Sword Art. His right hand shot out like lightning as he wedged the incoming thrust of the sharp blade from the woman. Afterward, he accomplished a great task with little effort by clever maneuvers by seizing away the sword from her without any trouble. Young Lady, you need to get your facts right. I was executing the spiritual tribulation underwater first, and I have no idea when you have arrived to swim. Therefore, what reason was there for you to stab me without distinguishing who was in the wrong? Yang Dingtian spoke. Since you saw me, why didnt you show yourself? On the contrary, you submerge yourself underwater. You clearly harbor evil intentions! That woman yelled angrily. I was just afraid that you would be embarrassed once I revealed myself. Therefore, I wanted to wait until you had left before emerging out from the water. Who knew you would continue to swim without an end. Yang Dingtian replied. You think I would believe you? That lady rebuked, Who knows what kind of dirty thoughts you had since you had submerged yourself underwater. Perhaps, you were waiting to have a look at me changing. Yang Dingtian smiled bitterly immediately. He truly had no idea how he should justify himself momentarily. He could only reply helplessly, How about this, I swear that if I spoke a lie, I must be executed and destroyed by heaven and earth. That girl stared at Yang Dingtian profoundly for a long time. After which, she reached out her hand, Return my sword. Yang Dingtian was startled for a moment. Was she letting this matter go just like that? So easy to deal with? Yang Dingtian returned the sword back to her. It was unknown if she truly believed Yang Dingtians words, or was it because she had no means to deal with him. Perhaps, she herself was a magnanimous and straightforward lady. Therefore, she chose to let this incident off so easily. At this moment, Yang Dingtian took note of this ladys appearance. Unexpectedly, it was a rarely seen beauty. Her eyes were very big. They were slightly pricked upwards and were filled with vigor. She had a very small oval face with a tall nose and an extremely exquisite lips. It seemed that she was a lady who was extremely opinionated with a unique personality. It was just that at this moment, her face was bearing a slightly lethargic look as if she had exhausted herself for a very long time. Why are you staying on this island alone? That lady looked at Yang Dingtian and inquired. My ship had been damaged and is unmovable. Yang Dingtian replied, Therefore, I have been waiting for a ship to pass by here. It had already been ten days, and you are the first person I have seen on this island. Do you have a ship? Of course I do. That woman replied, It just so happens that my ship had passed by here. Im feeling unwell, and I learned that there is a freshwater pool here. Therefore, I came over to swim. But who knew you would be here. Sorry. It really wasnt intentional. Yang Dingtian replied embarrassingly. Its fine. Just blame it on my luck.The woman replied as she waved her hand. On the contrary, she was very straightforward. Yang Dingtian wasnt fond of what she said. What did she mean by blaming it on her luck? Clearly, he was the one who was inside the pool first. Besides, during then, she was wearing a swimming suit with her whole body being covered. There was nothing for her to be taken advantage of. However, this woman standing before him was already very reasonable. Therefore, Yang Dingtian didnt say anything. Subsequently, he inquired, Can I ride your ship and leave? Just send me to the Northwest Continent will do. I can pay you for the service. That woman beautiful eyebrows wrinkled, I can let you ride my ship to leave. Its on the way as well. Theres no need for any pay. Thank you. Yang Dingtian replied. Its nothing much. The woman replied, Im called Ling Wu. What about you? Yan Nantian. Yang Dingtian replied. Follow me. Ling Wu replied, However, my ship will sail until the Inferno Island. Thats my home and is about 400 miles away from the Northwest Continent. But when the time comes, I can arrange a ship to send you to the Northwest Continent. Im really grateful. Yang Dingtian commented. Its nothing much. Ling Wu replied, However, you would need to wait for a while. I would need to refuel the potable water on the ship as well as tidy up the junk on board. I would probably need two hours. Alright. Thank you, Young Lady. Yang Dingtian replied. Why do you keep thanking me. Truly boring. Ling Wu commented. Yang Dingtian smiled embarrassingly, and it just so happened that he was going to take advantage of this time to execute the mystic qi breathing cycle. Than I shall no longer bother Young Lady. Yang Dingtian replied. After which, he walked to a desolate corner and sat down with his eyes closed. He controlled his breathing while utilizing the mystic qi breathing cycle. ************************ In just two hours, Yang Dingtian had forcefully recovered more than half of his battle mystic qi in his qi sea. Hey, Yan Nantian, time to go. Ling Wu yelled from the outside. Alright. Yang Dingtian stood up and walked out. Currently, Ling Wu had changed into a dress. She wore a tight shark-skinned swimsuit undergarment with a sturdy dress on the outside, making her look even more threatening and heroic. Only now did Yang Dingtian take note of her appearance. Unexpectedly, she was extremely charming and beautiful. Her eyes were very big, and her pretty face looked somewhat shrewish. Clearly, she was very powerful. Yang Dingtian followed behind her until they reached the coast. The ship she was referring to was unexpectedly big. It was several meters long and seven to eight meters tall. And there were close to a hundred people on board. Currently, the ship was filled up all kinds of goods. Very clearly, this ship was a cargo ship. Young Lady... Hello, First Young Lady... Greetings, First Young Lady... When they went on board, everyone stopped whatever they were doing and saluted or sent their regards whenever Ling Wu passed by. They looked extremely respectful. Furthermore, all of these greetings came from the bottom of their heart. It seemed like Ling Wu was very reputable and popular on this ship. After they got on board, Ling Wu brought Yang Dingtian to a cozy cabin, You can reside here. There will be people sending you food and drinks. When you are bored, you can head to the deck to relieve your boredom. I will not be attending to you since I still have something else to handle. Please do as you please, Young Lady. Yang Dingtian replied. After Ling Wu left, Yang Dingtian discovered that this cabin actually had a lingering fragrance. When he took a glance around the stuff inside, he realized that everything here belonged to a female. This cabin ought to be Ling Wus since it was so cozy, and Yang Dingtians heart immediately turned fervent. This woman might seem shrewish and was not very polite with her words, but her heart was actually so cordial. She and Yang Dingtian were total strangers. Yet, she had actually given Yang Dingtian her own cabin. Indeed, some people were innately warm-hearted and compassionate. They would provide the best stuff for the others, even if they were entertaining a stranger. A girl had sent over top-quality fruits, desserts, and fragrant tea not long after Ling Wu had left. Please enjoy your meal. I would send food over when its lunchtime. Would this guest like to drink alcohol? The girl inquired respectfully after placing down the fruits and desserts. There is no need for alcohol. Yang Dingtian replied, Could you help me to thank your Young Lady on my behalf? Also, thank you for sending the stuff over. I have troubled you. The girls cheek turned slightly red as she replied, Youre welcome. This guest is too polite. Following which, she lowered her head and left the cabin. Yang Dingtian felt bored after staying inside the cabin for a while. Furthermore, the location was unsuitable for him to carry out the spiritual tribulation and was even more unsuitable for cultivating his mystic skills. Might as well rest for half a day! Yang Dingtian left the cabin and walked to the deck. A portion of the ships movement depended on the sail while the other portion depended on human paddling beneath the ship. Therefore, there wasnt a lot of people on deck. A slim and seductive silhouette stood at the prow of the ship as she gazed at a distant location, and faint melancholy could be seen on her beautiful face. But when she felt that someone was walking over, the melancholy on her face immediately subsided. When she turned around and saw it was Yang Dingtian, she immediately nodded her head and did not speak. Yang Dingtian would never ask her what was she worried about since their friendship was very shallow. Young Lady, is this ship used for shipping merchandise? Yang Dingtian inquired. Ling Wu nodded her head, Our Inferno Island had relied on shipping to make a living for many generations. Its very tough, right? Yang Dingtian couldnt help but inquire when he saw there were traces of hardships on Ling Wus beautiful face. In this era, what is not tough? Ling Wu replied, So long as we can live quietly and safely, it would be a blessing from the heavens. Thats right. Yang Dingtian sighed. Yan Nantian, if its not presumptuous, what do you work as? Ling Wu inquired. Me? Yang Dingtian thought for a moment before replying, A person that is trying to fight against his destiny at all cost. Who isnt? Ling Wu commented, As a woman, I cant stay at home to learn embroidery and sewing. Rather, I have to bump and drift at the seas. Since shipping is so exhausting, especially to the ladies, why isnt Young Lady handing it over to someone to handle? Yang Dingtian replied. Ling Wu shook her head, I have no brothers. Im the only child my father has. Currently, he is bedridden due to serious injuries, and there are thousands of people that need to have a meal on the island. Therefore, I could only pick up this difficult task. Young Lady is really amazing. Yang Dingtian replied, Unfortunately, Im currently unable to take care of even myself. Otherwise, I will certainly lend you a hand. Its already very good to be able to mediate my worries just by talking to you. Ling Wu smiled, Currently, I am just hoping that I will be able to find a strong shoulder that I can depend on. After which, I would hand this heavy responsibility to him while I would stay at home to do laundry and prepare the meals as I live a peaceful and ordinary womans life. As usual, Ling Wu looked extremely scholarly and did not have the slightest bit of embarrassment when she was speaking about this topic. In fact, she held no sentiments when she told Yang Dingtian about it. It was just a description of how an exhausted woman was trying to find a person to depend on. Young Lady is so outstanding. You will definitely be able to find a remarkable husband. Yang Dingtian replied. With your blessing, I hope that person will arrive before me as soon as possible so that I can avoid being so exhausted. Ling Wu commented, I had grown weary of the sailing life long ago and wish to stay at home to assist my husband and educate my children. Young Lady, there are enemies. All of a sudden, the lookout guard that stood beside the sail shouted out loudly. Ling Wus complexion changed, Who? How many of them? Its the Black Blood Pirate thats under the Brigand Yang Dingtian. Three ships. Around a hundred of them. The lookout narrated. Damn Cloud Heaven City and damn Yang Dingtian. Ling Wu gnashed her teeth and spoke ruthlessly. Chapter 186: Fake Yang Dingtian! Making a Move… Chapter 186: Fake Yang Dingtian! Making a Move...Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Immediately, Yang Dingtian, who was at a side, was given a scare. What did it have to do with me? How were these pirates involved with me? Blow the horn, get ready for battle. Ling Wu spoke. After which, she suddenly took out a bent blade, Yan Nantian, I can tell that you know some martial arts. As for whether you wish to stay behind and help or to stay inside the cabin, the choice is up to you. Yang Dingtian replied, I will stay behind to fight. However, let me go and get my weapon. Yang Dingtian pretended to walk to his cabin as he took out his youngling sword from his ring of storage before returning back to Ling Wus side. When Ling Wu saw the youngling sword on Yang Dingtians hand, she couldnt help but feel slightly startled, This is your weapon? This iron rod doesnt look like an iron rod. It seems like an iron ruler, but it isnt. Its so ugly. I have better weapons here. I will get someone to grab one for you. No need. This sword of mine is good enough. Yang Dingtian replied. Very quickly, three ships appeared in Yang Dingtians line of sight. They were about dozens of miles away from Ling Wus ship. He took a look at their flag. Indeed, it was Cloud Heaven City Black Blood Castles flag. Without a doubt, this was a set-up by his enemies. Good. The Northwest Qin Clan and Ximen Ju had actually resorted to unscrupulous means so that they could frame Yang Dingtian. Previously, when he was returning from the Southwest Continent through the seas, he had also encountered those Black Blood Pirates on their deck. Today, he had encountered them once again. It could be clearly seen that the surrounding sea territories had been covered with pirates that were impersonating the Black Blood Cavalry brothers. S~?a??h the N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. However, what happened to the Black Blood Cavalry recently? Why would Ximen Ju and Qin Clan resort to such means? The Black Blood Castle was several thousand miles away from here. There are also insufficient reasons for them to do so even if they wanted to frame the Black Blood Cavalry. This group of pirates would frequently rob those ships that pass by? Yang Dingtian inquired. Far more than that. For the past few months, all those ships that pass by, none of them had not been robbed. Ling Wu spoke coldly and furiously, Furthermore, this group of bastards would always bully the weak and fear the strong. They would never dare to offend those ships that hang the Heaven Dao Union flag. In addition, they would even escort them. When they encountered those who are weak, they would act a viper or fierce tiger. If it werent because the island could no longer hold on, I would never come out to take such a risk. Currently, these goods on the ship are my clans final properties. My clan would be finished if it was plundered. Arent they killing the goose that lay eggs if they were to do this? Who are they going to rob if there are no more cargo ships on the sea? Yang Dingtian inquired. They would let us off so long as we hand over three women and 300 gold coins every month. Ling Wu replied, We didnt want to hand over women to them. However, we are willing to hand over 500 gold coins. Originally, they had also agreed to it. But after which, Yang Dingtian, that brute had taken a fancy to me and wanted me to become his mistress. I wasnt willing. Therefore, they would purposely rob my ships. Furthermore, they would launch sneak attacks at my Inferno Island practically every day. That bastard also injured my father. After Ling Wu finished speaking, her beautiful eyes turned red, and her face was ingrained with hatred. Meanwhile, Yang Dingtian was about to burst out in rage. It wouldnt have been much if those group of bastards had just gotten people to impersonate him and robbed the ships. But unexpectedly, they even forcefully robbed an ordinary woman. They were simply trying to make Yang Dingtian become the public enemy. Yang Dingtian inquired, Miss Ling Wu, have you met that Yang Dingtian? Yes. Ling Wu replied coldly, Long face, tall nose, and narrow eyes. He looked like a pretty decent boy. However, hes a bastard. It was unknown how many innocent women had he robbed from Inferno Island. Or how many women had he sullied from respectable families or even how many women had committed suicide after he had defiled them. Bastard... Yang Dingtian snarled. He clenched his teeth and murmured, This bastard ought to be dismembered into thousand pieces! The way Yang Dingtian was acting now was exactly the same as how Ling Wu was. At this moment, the three pirate ships had already gotten closer. Yang Dingtian was already able to see the appearance of the pirate leading them. Indeed, enemies were likely to meet each other. It was precisely that pirate leader that had robbed the passenger ship previously and had even detained Ning Rouer, the mother and daughter as hostages. Ultimately, he even chased after Yang Dingtian and caused him to consume the Water Separation Elixir to escape without a trace. During then, he was a Mystic Martial Artist. Therefore, Yang Dingtian was, by far, not his opponent. Now, it was no longer the same. Yang Dingtian had become a Great Mystic Martial Master expert. Yang Dingtian must certainly dismember him into several thousand pieces since he had delivered himself to his doorstep. It just so happened that it would allow Yang Dingtian to test out how strong he had become. ***************** Young Lady Ling Wu, we meet again. The pirate leader burst out in laughter, Whats wrong? Be obedient and follow me back to become our Young Masters woman. Otherwise, we will plunder all of the goods, snatch away all the women and kill all the men on deck. Keep dreaming. Ling Wu replied coldly, I will never allow that bastard Yang Dingtian to sully me even if I have to die in the ocean. Immediately, the face of Yang Dingtian at the side suddenly twitched. Others would always say to get shot even when lying down. However, Yang Dingtian was getting cannoned even when lying down! I wouldnt be able to help you then. The pirate leader smiled coldly, Im afraid that it will be hard even if you wish to die once you fall into our hands. Followingly, the sexy and bewitching female pirate at the side discovered Yang Dingtian. She nudged the pirate leader beside her, Big brother, look there. Its the guy who had escaped and snatched away two absolute beauties from your hand previously. The pirate leaders face was filled with scars, and his flesh was protruding out, making him look extremely ugly and sinister. However, his pair of eyes was truly abstruse and threatening. At this moment, he looked towards Yang Dingtian like electricity as he smiled coldly, Indeed, its you, my close friend. What the hell are you? Wherever there are beauties, you would be there. Where are the two absolute beauties that were with you previously? Offer them to our Young Master Yang Dingtian. I guarantee you would be able to enjoy endless wealth for your whole life. Yang Dingtian didnt rebuke him but merely stared at him coldly. Sister. Dont you like pretty boys the most? Later on, I will hand him over to you. Slaughter him after you are done playing with him and cut his head and hand it over to be my plaything. The pirate leader smiled mercilessly. That female pirate stuck out her chest towards Yang Dingtian while extending out her gaudy red lips and licked. She revealed a licentious smile towards Yang Dingtian. Suddenly, Yang Dingtian discovered that this female pirate looked somewhat familiar. However, he couldnt remember where he had met her before. At this moment, all the sailors on Ling Wus cargo ship had arrived on the deck while they held onto a sword. Seven or eight huge crossbows had also extended out on the deck. Although there were quite many people on the cargo ship, they were still just sailors. Therefore, their faces were filled with fear to the point that the swords in their hands were trembling when they were facing those uncanny pirates. Yan Nantian, have you encountered them before? Ling Wu inquired. A few months ago. Yang Dingtian replied. You cant defeat them? Ling Wu asked. Couldnt defeat them during then and had to flee. Yang Dingtian commented. Later on, take advantage of the chaos and sneak away. Theres no need for you to throw away your life with us. Ling Wu narrated, Im already very contented that you had stayed behind on the deck and stood with me for a moment. Yang Dingtian smiled coldly, This is no longer just your matters alone. At this moment, the three pirate ships had gotten even closer. After which, it suddenly changed direction as they flanked over from three different directions. When those people on the cargo ship saw that they had been surrounded, the fear on their faces grew even denser. So long as someone led the way, all of them would throw away the weapons in their hands and jump into the ocean to escape. The three pirate ships grew even closer over time. When they were about 300 meters away, Ling Wu suddenly gave a command, Release the arrows! Immediately, several sailors lifted up the hammer and smashed onto the huge crossbows suddenly. Swish swish swish... Those large and armed-thick arrows suddenly shot out. All of them shot towards the three pirate ships separately. Hahahaha... That pirate leader laughed out loudly. Unexpectedly, he stood at the prow of the ship and stared at those huge incoming arrows. He didnt even bother to dodge. When those huge arrows were right before his eyes, the pirate leader slashed out with the broadsword on his hand. At the same time, the experts on the other two ships had also slashed out. Bang... Immediately, all those huge arrows that were shot out from the huge crossbows had been crushed into fine powders. My love, Im coming... After which, a voice roared out suddenly. That pirate leader and the bewitching female pirate, as well as a slim pale youth, pounced towards the cargo ship, covering the hundreds of meters between them. The three of them from three different directions pounced over like eagles. ************************* Yang Dingtian discovered that among the trio, the pirate leaders martial arts wasnt the strongest. The strongest among them was actually the slim pale youth. Kill... Kill... That pirate leader suddenly pounced towards Ling Wu. The slim pale youth pounced towards the numerous sailors on the deck. While the bewitching female pirate held onto her curved blade and pounced towards Yang Dingtian, he circulated all the mystic qi within his body and welcomed the bewitching female pirates blade with a slash. Haha, my love. You arent a match for this elder sister. The bewitching female pirate teased with a delicate voice. Bam... Suddenly, a loud sound reverberated. Yang Dingtians youngling sword was halt above the female pirates curved blade mercilessly. Pfff... Suddenly, the female pirate spout out a mouthful of blood and flew out immediately. Meanwhile, that slim pale youth had also charged into the crowd. Swish swish swish swish... Instantly, dozens of people had died tragically under his sword without any corpses. This slim pale youths sword art looked extremely strange and vicious. It was also fast as a demon. Meanwhile, that pirate leaders Ghost Head Blade had also halt above Ling Wus sword viciously. Bam... A sudden collision. Ling Wu suddenly spout out a mouthful of blood, and her delicate body was forced retreated for dozens of steps, causing her to almost fall to the ground. Little beauty, I have shown you enough leniency. Next, have a taste of my Raising Yin Ghost Head Blade. That pirate leaders eyes shot out radiances of demonic qi while the Ghost Head Blade on his hand became a splashing ink as it slashed over to Ling Wu. The move was extremely despicable as it was directed at her abdomen, crotch, and legs. Ling Wu was alarmed. She wanted to lift her sword to obstruct it, but her body was in sharp pain, causing her not to have an ounce of strength. She looked at that pirate leaders ugly and disgusting appearance as well as the Ghost Head Blade that was advancing to ruin her lower body and also those clans sailors that had been massacred and fallen to the ground. I would rather die than be subjected to such humiliation. Ling Wu yelled out in embrittlement. Suddenly, she placed her sword at her neck and was about to attempt suicide. Bam... Abruptly, her sword had been shot off, and her hand trembled and grew numb. The sword on her hand had practically flown off. It was Yang Dingtian who had flicked off her suiciding move. After which, he grabbed onto Ling Wus arm suddenly and pulled her behind his back while he turned around and started a battle with this pirate leader. Chapter 187: Incredible, Eliminating The Enemies! Chapter 187: Incredible, Eliminating The Enemies!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Its you? You actually became stronger? The pirate leader revealed a surprised expression. Following which, he displayed a cruel gaze as he smiled coldly, Since its you, theres no need for any mercy, and I can just cut down your thing to brew some wine to drink. Immediately, the pirate leaders mystic qi rose to its limits, and his speed had also reached his peak as he slashed his Ghost Head Blade at Yang Dingtian viciously, wanting to slash off his crotch. Go... Yang Dingtian yelled angrily. He slashed down at the pirate leaders Ghost Head Blade after aiming at it. Bang... A loud noise reverberated out. Suddenly, the pirate leaders Ghost Head Blade was sliced into two before flying out. Meanwhile, the pirate leader retreated for a dozen steps as he stared at Yang Dingtian in disbelief. A few months ago, Yang Dingtian was still extremely weak and was being chased by him to the point that he had to escape without leaving any traces behind. But now, he had actually become so powerful. He could actually repel him back with just a blade. Third brother, this speck had grown stronger. Come over, lets go against him together. The pirate leader spoke to the slim pale youth. Swish swish swish... That slim pale youth slashed out with lightning speed as he seized away several more lives. After which, he suddenly shot towards the pirate leader like a zombie while he stared at Yang Dingtian closely with the deadman gaze. At this moment, that bewitching female pirate had also crawled up from the ground as she wiped the blood at the corner of her mouth. Sister, go and deal with Ling Wu. Both of us will kill this gigolo. The pirate leader instructed. Alright. The bewitching female pirate replied, However, once I take action, its unlikely for this cute beauty to remain alive. Suit yourself. The pirate leader smiled coldly, Leave behind an intact corpse. Its the same once we gift it to Young Master. After hearing her say Young Master, Ling Wus face immediately turned ghastly pale. All of a sudden, the corner of her mouth turned warm. However, that warmth came from Yang Dingtians hand and also an elixir. This was a holy spirit elixir. Once Ling Wu consumed this elixir, she would recover from her minor injuries, and her combat strength would return back to how it was before. Young Lady Ling Wu, which cultivation realm are you in? Yang Dingtian inquired. Five star Mystic Martial Master, Ling Wu replied. It should be barely enough then. The female pirate might be a Great Mystic Martial Master, but she is already injured. You should be able to fight against her barely. Yang Dingtian replied, You and I shall lean our backs against each other. I will handle these two people while you handle the female pirate. Okay. Ling Wu replied. Following which, she stuck her delicate body over. Suddenly, Yang Dingtian felt that his back was filled with softness. Ling Wu had clearly trembled lightly the instant her delicate body came into contact with Yang Dingtian. My close friend, get intimate after you reach the underworld. The pirate leader commented coldly, Go, kill him. Immediately, the duo dashed over ferociously. There was a sword beam that was like a demon while the other blade ray was like the ink. The duo were both Great Mystic Martial Master grade experts. Yang Dingtian was able to sense that this slime pale youths mystic qi cultivation was not in any way inferior to him. Clang Clang Clang Clang... Within a moment, the two of them had reached before his eyes. The Ghost Head Blade assaulted Yang Dingtians lower body frantically while the zombie-like sharp sword was thrust at Yang Dingtians chest suddenly. It was vicious and wicked. Unexpectedly, Yang Dingtian seemed to have disregarded both of their sword and blade as he stood there motionless. The slim pale youths sword grew even faster as if it had become the thunder as he thrust at Yang Dingtians chest ruthlessly. There was a wave of acute pain! However, he was unable to penetrate through, and the blade had suddenly bent. Immediately, the two of them had shocked expressions. At this moment, the pirate leader had also slashed his Ghost Head Blade at Yang Dingtians lower body, hoping to injure him. Pig Slaying Sword Art, Third Style, Severing the Head. The sword on Yang Dingtians hand suddenly slashed down. Ah... The pirate leader had only felt his wrist turning cold before his blood spurt out like a whirlwind. His wrist had flown out along with his broken blade. Meanwhile, that slim pale youth expression changed. The sharp sword on him trembled as he stabbed towards Yang Dingtians throat like a viper. Yang Dingtians throat did not have the protection of the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes. The slim pale youths sword art should be the best among all the opponents Yang Dingtian had met. However, he was still too inferior when compared to Yang Dingtian. The sharp sword on Yang Dingtians hand swirled. Pig Slaying Sword Art, Fourth Style, Getting Rid of the Heart and Lungs. Suddenly, Yang Dingtians sword twined towards the slim pale youth like the viper. Clang Clang Clang Clang... The sword and blades intertwined with each other numerously like a chain of a meteor bursting out Pfff... Yang Dingtians sword suddenly bore through the slim pale youths sword net and pierced into his left chest. Immediately, fresh blood spurted out. Yang Dingtian was about to continue piercing in, directly taking the slim pale youths life. En... Unexpectedly, Ling Wu, who was behind him, groaned dimly. The female pirates blade actually struck her. Yang Dingtian immediately pulled Ling Wu away. He turned around quickly and welcomed the female pirates blade as he slashed down. Clang... The female pirates bend blade was slashed into half before flying out. Immediately after, Yang Dingtian thrust his sword towards the female pirates chest. That female pirate was surprised as she used all of her strength to evade it. However, she did not manage to dodge Yang Dingtians sword as her shoulder got pierced through. The sword on Yang Dingtians hand trembled as mystic qi poured out. It had ruthlessly sent the female pirate flying for dozen of meters directly. Ah... That female pirate cried out miserably as she spurted out blood crazily before falling onto the corner of the ship ruthlessly. It was unknown if she was still alive. At that moment, three ships had gotten closer, and countless hooks hooked onto Ling Wus cargo ship one after another. Hundreds of pirates climbed over like ants as they started to slaughter all the sailors on the ship openly. Young Lady Ling Wu, go and kill the pirate subordinates. I will deal with the remaining pirate leaders. Yang Dingtian spoke. Yes! Ling Wu replied. Her delicate body suddenly darted out as she charged over to those pirates that were flocking over. ************** A moment ago, the slim pale youth had retreated dozen of meters at lightning speed when Yang Dingtian had turned around to save Ling Wu. He clutched onto the wound on his chest as he stared at Yang Dingtian in disbelief. At this moment, the sharp sword in his hand had already been turned into a lump of fried dough. Im not outstanding in mystic qi cultivation. But I have yet to meet a rival when it comes to comparing sword art. You are the only one that had managed to defeat me in terms of sword art. Who are you exactly? That slim pale youth questioned coldly. Who am I is of no importance. However, whats crucial is I know who you are. Yang Dingtian replied coldly, You are the youth sword technique instructor from the Northwest Qin Clan, Zombie Sword Wang Lun. Unexpectedly, you had actually degenerated to the point of impersonating a pirate. Tsk tsk, what prospects are there in being the instructors for those kids. I might as well come here and have some adventure. Zombie Sword Wang Lun replied coldly. Im just afraid you wouldnt be able to find any future here. Instead, you are going to die here. Yang Dingtian commented coldly. Not necessarily so... Wang Lun rebuked. Qin Bao, lets join hand and use the joint mystic skill attack to kill him. Wang Lun instructed coldly. It turned out that the pirate leader was called Qin Bao. Sure enough, he was someone from the Northwest Qin Clan. Qin Bao had already stopped his bleeding from his severed arm as he stared at Yang Dingtian with a gaze filled with boundless rancor. That was a close call, friend; your sword art is very powerful. However, you are only a Great Mystic Martial Master at best. I would like to see how you are going to receive our joint mystic skill attack. Qin Bao spoke, Third brother, Ice and Fire Twin Dragons! A joint mystic skill attack needed an extremely high congenial with each other. These two people before him were sworn brothers and were extremely close to each other. Furthermore, it was unknown as to how many times had they practiced it before. Therefore, they were able to use the joint mystic skill attack. In addition, the might of the joint mystic skill attack was absolutely not merely doubled. Rather, it had greatly exceeded that amount. Therefore, no Great Mystic Martial Master would be able to defend against the joint mystic skill attack from two Great Mystic Martial Masters. Immediately, Qin Baos body suddenly swelled up as blazing red radiance emitted out from all over his body. Meanwhile, Wang Luns body instantly turned ice blue, making him look even more like a zombie that had just crawled out from the coffin. Ice and Fire Twin Dragons... Suddenly, a loud roaring resonated out. Immediately, a fire dragon burst forth from Qin Baos body. Meanwhile, an ice frost cold dragon burst forth from Wang Luns body. Both fire and ice dragons intertwined and revolved around each other in mid-air like the laser and artillery bomb as they shot towards Yang Dingtian. Yet, Yang Dingtian still stood there motionless like before. s?a??h th? N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. No... Ling Wu, who was killing the pirates, cried out gloomily before darting towards Yang Dingtian. But it was very obvious that she wouldnt be able to make it on time with her speed. The two ice and fire enormous dragon struck Yang Dingtians chest ferociously. Instantly, Yang Dingtians body was overwhelmed and gobbled up by the raging flames and ice frost cold qi, causing his silhouette not to be seen in the process. Haha, haha... Qin Bao immediately laughed out happily. Followingly, he cast a wicked gaze towards Ling Wu and spoke, Little beauty, your lover is dead. Originally, I wanted to send you to our Young Master. However, I am injured today. Therefore, I needed some form of compensation. Thus, you shall be mine today. After Qin Bao spoke, he darted towards Ling Wu like a beast. Meanwhile, Ling Wu stood at her original spot foolishly as she stared at the being combusted Yang Dingtian. Her face was filled with despair. You are too anxious. Suddenly, Yang Dingtians voice was transmitted out from the air. Qin Bao was surprised, and he looked towards Yang Dingtian. After which, he was rendered stupefied completely. He saw the ice frost cold qi at the left side of Yang Dingtian had suddenly been devoured by something as it decreased rapidly before disappearing. Meanwhile, the combusting raging flame at his right was turned into a beam of radiance before disappearing into Yang Dingtians sword completely. Yang Dingtian was wearing the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes, and it possessed an extremely powerful defensive ability against mystic skills. Furthermore, he had an ice attribute mystic talisman on him, and it just so happened that it devoured Wang Luns ice frost enormous dragon completely. Following which, Yang Dingtian was able to clearly sense this ice attribute jade talisman had gone through a change as its color grew somewhat darker. Although it was still a primary mystic talisman, it had already contained some ice attribute energies compared to the past. Third brother, this speck is too much to deal with. Run! Qin Bao was surprised as he cried out. After that, he turned around and was about to escape. None of you will be leaving. Yang Dingtian spoke. He circulated his mystic qi and darted towards the duo. Big brother, you leave first. I will cover for you. Wang Lun replied. Good brother. Qin Baos eyes turned red as he replied sentimentally. He patted on Wang Luns shoulder and was about to flee. Unexpectedly, after his palm had patted on Wang Luns shoulder, his whole body was no longer able to budge. Big brother, help your little brother out and die. Wang Lun smiled sinisterly. Following which, he grabbed onto Qin Baos body and smashed it at Yang Dingtian. Wang Lun, I curse your mother! Qin Bao bellowed loudly. After that, his whole body was smashed towards Yang Dingtian while he released all of the mystic qi on him. Hey, friend, lets die together. Qin Bao burst out all of his mystic qi while he threw himself at Yang Dingtian. Swish Swish Swish Swish... Suddenly, Yang Dingtians sword sprinkled countless flowery swords as they were thrust towards the incoming Qin Bao. Ahhh... A burst of mournful miserable bawl rang out. Chapter 188: Mystic Skill Instant Kill! Saving the Beauty! Chapter 188: Mystic Skill Instant Kill! Saving the Beauty!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Ahhh... An extremely bleak and tragic bawl resonated out. Qin Bao had already been broken into many pieces in midair before he even got close to Yang Dingtian as he was sent flying. Meanwhile, Wang Lun didnt flee. Instead, he captured Ling Wu at lightning speed before diving into the ocean while he dragged her along. Ling Wu was not his match. Furthermore, she thought that Yang Dingtian had been killed. Therefore, she stood there in despair. Thus, when Wang Lun had placed his sword on her neck, she did not possess the energy to retaliate. Although Wang Lun had only become a pirate for a while, his swimming ability was actually very good. He dragged Ling Wu along and escaped quickly like an ocean fish. He laughed while fleeing, Brat, I said before, you wouldnt be able to kill me. This little girl shall belong to me as well. In just a few seconds, he had swum for several dozens meters. Yang Dingtian quickly took out the Water Immunity Pearl and kept it inside his mouth. After which, he suddenly leaped down the ocean before chasing after Wang Lun rapidly as if he was walking on the land. Immediately, Wang Lun was surprised. Unexpectedly, Yang Dingtians speed was actually so astonishing even though he was in the water. He was about to overtake them in just a moment. He quickly hid behind Ling Wu and placed his sharp sword across her neck before grinning at Yang Dingtian evilly, Brother, let me go, and I shall release this little girl, how about that? Sure. Release her first, and I will let you off. Yang Dingtian replied. That wont do. I will definitely release her back after I reach somewhere safe. All of us have no grievance or enmity with each other. Theres no need to be so ruthless. Wang Lun smiled coldly. When his gaze fell onto Ling Wus alluring back, a trace of insatiableness was displayed within his gaze immediately. Once he had reached somewhere safe, Ling Wu would most likely prefer to be dead than to be alive. s?a??h th? N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Thats impossible. Yang Dingtian replied nonchalantly. Are you going to ignore this girls life? Wang Lun grinned evilly, So long as I put a cut across softly, her beautiful head would tumble down and could no longer be able to stick back. After he spoke, Wang Lun pushed his sharp sword down. Immediately, a thread of blood flowed out from Ling Wus neck. I will count to three. You are to scram back to the ship immediately. Otherwise, I will kill this little girl immediately. One! Two! Yan Nantian, kill this bastard. Ignore me... Ling Wu yelled loudly. Little girl, shut your mouth. Wang Lun commented coldly. Brother, are you going to really let this girl die? Quickly scram back to the ship... Wang Lun roared strictly. Dream on. Yang Dingtian replied nonchalantly. Wang Luns face turned sinister as he yelled, That I shall drag this little beauty to be buried together with me. Ling Wu, shut your eyes! Yang Dingtian suddenly yelled out. Three... Wang Luns sword slashed down at Ling Wus neck ferociously. In a moment, Ling Wu was about to perish like a shattered jade. Yang Dingtian struck out a palm strike from underwater. Bang... A bolt of enormous thunder suddenly spurted out from underwater. Thunder attribute mystic skill, Mountain Split. Immediately, all of Wang Luns movement had been frozen. And his whole body was turned charred black instantly. Meanwhile, Ling Wu, who had shut her eyes only, felt her whole body turning numb before losing consciousness immediately after. Yang Dingtian held onto his sword as he darted out at lightning speed. Suddenly, he pulled Ling Wu to his side as he aimed at Wang Lun, who was floating above the water. He lifted up his hand before slashing his sword down ferociously. Immediately, Wang Luns body was sliced in half by Yang Dingtian. His blood dyed the ocean water red. Yang Dingtian carried the unconscious Ling Wu and flew back to the ship quickly. At this moment, Ling Wu was already in a coma. Although that bolt of thunder from Yang Dingtian did not strike her body, the thunder energy that had passed through the ocean water had still caused her to lose her breath. When the remaining pirates saw their three leaders had all been killed, they no longer had the slightest bit of morale left before they were all chased after by those sailors who possessed slight martial arts. Subsequently, they all jumped into the sea to flee one after another. At this moment, the sailors on the cargo ship were holding onto the bow and arrows as they shot at the pirates on the surface of the water. When they saw Yang Dingtian carrying Ling Wu back on board, they gathered around continuously. Many thanks to Hero Yan for the life-saving grace. Hero Yan is formidable. Hero Yan, how is our Young Lady? Your clans Young Lady is fine. She had temporarily lost consciousness only. Yang Dingtian replied, Find a woman among yourself and follow me. Can... I? A girl walked out quietly, and she was still holding onto a sword in her hand. Her face was still covered with blood. She was precisely the little girl who had sent the fruits to Yang Dingtian previously. Unexpectedly, she was actually holding a sword as well. Sure. Yang Dingtian replied. What about the female pirate? Is she dead? Yang Dingtian inquired. Over here. Hero Yan, it seems like she has yet to die, and we have tied her up. A sailor replied. After which, he pushed the female pirate over who was tied up like a rice dumpling. Yang Dingtian carried the unconscious Ling Wu on a hand while he lifted the female pirate on the other as he walked towards the cabin. Continue to shoot those pirates. All of their hands had been stained with innocent peoples blood. Yang Dingtian replied. Yes! All of the sailors yelled. Did you hear that? Hero Yan had given us the instruction. Continue to kill those pirates! Immediately, all the sailors held up their bow and arrows again as they shot at those pirates on the water surface. *************************** Yang Dingtian placed Ling Wu on the bed after they entered the cabin. Go and loosen your clans Young Ladys diving suit. Its too tight and is preventing her from breathing. Yang Dingtian instructed. Ah... Yes... That female servant was surprised at first before obeying the order immediately after. She used a knife and sliced-opened a hole in the water armor to loosen it. Pinch your clan Young Ladys nose before blowing air into her mouth. Press her chest after blowing a few times. Yang Dingtian instructed. Eh, yes, yes... Followingly, that female servant acted according to Yang Dingtians order in fluster. Perhaps, it was because she was too flustered or that she had done it wrongly, Ling Wu had yet to resume her breathing after the CPR had been performed. Even after pressing her chest for a long time, her heartbeat had yet to reinstate. Enough. Stand at the side. I will do it. Yang Dingtian spoke. Yes... The small female servant quickly stepped aside as if she had been liberated. However, she still looked at Ling Wu concernedly as before. Yang Dingtian went forward and pinched on Ling Wus nose. Followingly, he blew air with all his strength. After he had blown the air in, he would press onto the area above her heart with strength. However, as before, Ling Wu was still not breathing, and there were no heartbeats. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but grow anxious. It would be fatal if a persons heart had stopped beating and had stopped breathing for a long time. Perhaps, the thunder energy was indeed too powerful, and Ling Wus body was unable to bear the power. Turn around. Yang Dingtian instructed the little female servant. Yes! That little female servant quickly turned around, and she had even shut her eyes forcefully. Very clearly, this little female servant had over thought things. Yang Dingtian merely wanted to utilize his thunder technique and didnt wish for it to be seen by her. Yang Dingtian shut both of his eyes and started to circulate his extremely weak mystic qi. Followingly, he formed them into the thunder attribute mystic skill, Mountain Split. Bang... A bolt of weak thunder struck onto the area above Ling Wus heart. Correct, this was Primal Chaos Worlds version of defibrillation. Ling Wu trembled slightly but did not wake up. Yang Dingtian increased the energy slightly before striking down once again with another bolt of thunder. Ling Wus body shot up before falling back down. Yang Dingtian placed his ear at where her heart was located. Indeed, she had recovered a weak pulse. However, as before, she was still not breathing. Following which, he continued to blow air into her mouth in succession. After doing it several times in a row. Hee... Finally, Ling Wu had opened her eyes as she woke up from her slumber. Young Lady, you woke up. That little female servant immediately turned around and cried out elatedly. Followingly, she continued, Dont misunderstand. Hero Yan was trying to save you. He really is formidable. You had stopped breathing, and there was no heartbeat in you. Yet, he was able to save you back. I know. Ling Wus face turned red as she spoke softly, Thank you, Yan Nantian. Youre welcome. Yang Dingtian turned around. At this moment, Ling Wu remembered what just happened in the ocean. She had clearly sensed that the bastard Wang Luns sword was about to sever her neck. After that, Yan Nantian had gotten her to shut her eyes. Subsequently, her body turned numb, and she no longer knew what happened after. Originally, she thought that she had died the moment she lost consciousness. Unexpectedly, she was actually saved by Yan Nantian. Ling Wu walked towards Yang Dingtian after she had put her clothing back on as she bowed in a strict manner as a form of showing her gratitude. Ling Wu thanks Brother Yan for saving hundreds of my men and me. Indeed, she didnt expect that the person she had picked up randomly would actually be so formidable. He had killed the pirate leaders one after another and saved the majority of lives on the ship. There is no need for Young Lady Ling Wu to be so polite. Yang Dingtian replied. Followingly, Yang Dingtian spoke to the little servant girl and Ling Wu, Im going to interrogate this female pirate. The scene might be a bit brutal. Its better for you two to go out. Oh. Yes... Immediately, Ling Wu and the little servant girl walked out of the cabin and shut the door. ******************** Yang Dingtian fetched a pot of water over and poured it above the female pirate head. Immediately, that female pirates delicate body shuddered and woke up. You are not a pirate. Who are you exactly? Yang Dingtian inquired coldly. That female pirate spat out a mouthful of saliva. After which, she glanced at Yang Dingtian with her beautiful eyes before speaking weakly, Who am I is of no importance. Whats crucial is, who are you? Yang Dingtians complexion changed before smiling coldly, Im Yan Nantian. Dont change the topic. No. You are Yang Dingtian. That female pirate spoke hoarsely, Yang Dingtian, I have longed to sleep together with you because you had beaten Qin Shaobai into the trash. Yang Dingtian was surprised. How could this female pirate before him be able to recognize him? This was totally impossible. She was not Dugu Fengwus kind of expert. How could she possibly recognize that he was Yang Dingtian? Chapter 189: Cloud Heaven City’s Situation! Who is Impersonating Yang Dingtian? Chapter 189: Cloud Heaven Citys Situation! Who is Impersonating Yang Dingtian?Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Earlier on, when Wang Lun stabbed in your chest, he was unable to pierce your skin. I didnt see you wearing any black iron or silk treasure clothes either. That female pirate then said indifferently, During your battle against Tang Li and Qin Shaobai, you were also impervious to blades and weapons. Thus, people were saying that you were wearing the legendary Deep Sea Mystic Clothes. In the whole world, there might only be one piece of Deep Sea Mystic Clothes. Hence, if you arent Yang Dingtian, then who are you? Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and felt that this was a flaw as he had expected. Who exactly are you? Why are you so clear about Yang Dingtians matters? Yang Dingtian said coldly. That woman giggled delicately and lifted her head. Take a good look. Dont you find my face familiar? It was very familiar, but Yang Dingtian couldnt recall. You and Ximen Ningning traversed across our Qin Clans territory and when you went past the abyss at the side of the town... That female pirate gave a reminder. You are Qin Hongmian? Yang Dingtian suddenly said. You finally remembered. You have only seen Ximen Ningning impersonating me and not my true self before, thats why you couldnt recall. That female pirate said. Yang Dingtian asked with a puzzled tone, You are a branch family of the Qin Clan, a young lady of the Red Stone Castle. Why would you be reduced to impersonating a pirate? Isnt it all because of you. Qin Hongmian sneered and said, After Qin Shaobai was completely destroyed by you, that Qin Clans tyrant took out his anger on countless people, and I was one of those people. But I already have a considerably better outcome. Qin Shaobais mother, Yang Shishi, has already been chased out to busk. She was just short of being asked to become a prostitute. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but feel shocked in his heart. This Qin Clan Head was actually so ruthless and vicious, even towards his wife. Since you have already spoken, you might say everything. Yang Dingtian asked, Why are you pretending to be the Black Blood Cavalry and committing crimes? What happened to Black Blood Castle? Do you still not know? Qin Hongmian glanced at Yang Dingtian and said, Ximen Lies Black Blood Cavalry had already abandoned the Black Blood Castle, and they have been drifting the Northwest Continent for more than half a year. Otherwise, with a distance of a few thousand miles in between, who would believe it if we are to impersonate the Black Blood Cavalry? What?! Yang Dingtian was alarmed as he said, After my battle with Qin Shaobai, wasnt Black Blood Castle still holding up? It was still holding up back then, but when the soldiers from Qin Clan constantly poured in, they had surrounded the Black Blood Castle without allowing any escape, both sides were in a deadlock for half a month. Furthermore, the parasitic poison on Madam Ximens body had acted up. Ximen Ju went to Black Blood Castle to negotiate with Ximen Lie. They were willing to hand over the antidote for Madam Ximens poison, but in exchange, Ximen Lie would have to unconditionally lead the Black Blood Cavalry and back out from Black Blood Castle. Qin Hongmian carried on. To save Madam Ximens life, and because the Black Blood Castle was actually in desperate straits, Ximen Lie had agreed. From that day on, they withdrew from Black Blood Castle and drifted in the Northwest Continent and had never been able to settle down even after half a year. Countless influential forces had evicted them since then... Ahh... Before listening to everything, Yang Dingtian was roaring with rage and had smashed the table into dust. When recalling about Madam Ximen and Ximen Lie living a life of refugees with the Black Blood Cavalry, Yang Dingtian felt as though his heart was sliced up by a blade. Qin Hongmian giggled and said, Yang Dingtian, Black Blood Castle is lost. Right now, none of you even have a place to settle down. Yang Dingtian quickly calmed calm and sneered. It doesnt matter. When I take back Cloud Heaven City, Black Blood Castle will belong to me as well. S~?a??h the N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Take back Cloud Heaven City with less than eight months? Are you dreaming? Do you know how formidable Ximen Ju is? Qin Hongmian laughed grimly. Yang Dingtian didnt bother about her and continued to ask, What happened with Madam Ximen getting inflicted with parasitic poison? When did that happen? It is all because of that bastard Qin Shaobai who was yearning for Madam Ximen. Not long after he arrived at Cloud Heaven City, he had secretly inflicted the parasitic poison on Madam Ximen. His original plan was to kill you and allowed Madam Ximens parasitic poison to take effect before he took charge to seize her. Qin Hongmian laughed sarcastically and said, Bu who would have expected that his dreams wouldnt be fulfilled, and he had to be beaten up into a cripple by you. Yang Dingtian had no interest in an enemy who was already finished. He interrupted and asked, Who is the pirate leader that is impersonating me on Black Blood Island? Qin Clans illegitimate son, Qin Huaiju! Qin Hongmian said, He is a lamentable and despicable person. How is his cultivation? Yang Dingtian asked. One star Martial Mystic, you are not a match for him. Qin Hongmian laughed grimly and said, He has already impersonated you and killed almost a thousand people. He had seized and ravaged hundreds of innocent ladies. Right now, you are notorious for your misdeeds. A one star Martial Mystic expert was six classes higher than Yang Dingtian. Furthermore, in this battle, which Yang Dingtian had to surpass classes, he couldnt use his thunder attribute mystic skill. Even though there were some difficulties, Yang Dingtian was still filled with confidence that he could defeat Qin Huaiju. Moreover, this bastard must be eliminated; otherwise, he would continue the impersonation and harm plenty of people. You are not the one to determine if I am a match for him. After I kill him, you will go along and accompany him. Yang Dingtian said indifferently and struck her with a palm strike, which immediately knocked her out. At this same moment, there were hurried footsteps that echoed from outside. Ling Wu said, Big Brother Yan, we found a few captives on the pirates ship, and they said they were from the Cloud Heaven Citys Black Blood Castle. They even said that the pirates were impersonating the Black Blood Castle and committing crimes. Yang Dingtian instantly shivered and said, Bring them over here. He took a deep breath. If they were truly members of the Black Blood Castle, didnt that mean that Madam Ximen and Big Brother Ximen Lie were nearby? Even if they were ordinary soldiers of the Black Blood Cavalry, Yang Dingtian couldnt help but view them as brothers. ******************* Soon enough, four of the Black Blood Cavalry brothers were brought over, and before Yang Dingtian had to give his instruction, Ling Wu went out of the cabin and closed the door. These four Black Blood Cavalry brothers were all with injuries, and those pirates obviously tortured them. They should be the brothers from the Black Blood Cavalry. Although Yang Dingtian couldnt remember their faces, the Black Blood Cavalry members all had a special ensign, and there were all like soldiers and not like normal martial artists. While suppressing his urge to hug them, Yang Dingtian asked, How many of you are here? What are you doing in this sea region? The Black Blood Cavalry brothers stepped forward and bowed. The Black Blood Cavalry thanks this Hero for saving our life. We have a total of over twenty brothers here, and we are here for two tasks. Firstly, it was because we heard pirates were impersonating our Black Blood Cavalry and committing crimes everywhere. Commander Ximen sent us here to scout. Secondly, there were rumors that the Hidden Sect disciple, Young Lord Nameless, is here to cultivate at West Imminent Island. Hence, Madam specially sent us here to search and invite Young Lord Nameless to help us serve justice at Cloud Heaven City. Yang Dingtians heart jumped as he asked, What justice? That Black Blood Cavalry brothers face revealed a trace of anger as he said, Ximen Ju, Yang Yan, and the other bastards slandered our Young Lord Yang Dingtian, saying he was a spy from the Evil Dao. Hence, they are convoking for a meeting in the Heaven Dao Union and are preparing to dismiss Young Lord Yang Dingtians rights to participate in the City Lord Martial Contest. They even want to request for the Heaven Dao Union to put out a kill warrant for Young Lord Yang Dingtian in the world. Instantly, Yang Dingtians heart was bursting with rage. This group of bastards was truly trying to exterminate him. It seemed like he must make this trip to Cloud Heaven City no matter what. Hero Yan, I heard that your ship came from the West Imminent Islands direction. Did you see or perhaps heard of Young Lord Nameless whereabouts? The Black Blood Cavalry brother asked. I heard that Nameless left West Imminent Island a long time ago. Yang Dingtian then said, But if he truly is a successor of the Hidden Sect, he will surely help you serve justice. Immediately after, Yang Dingtian instinctively wanted to ask how were Madam Ximen and Ximen Lie doing? He was nearly going to ask but quickly held back as Yan Nantian wouldnt know them, how would he possibly ask about them? Many thanks for Hero Yans kind words. The Black Blood Cavalry brother said, We still have important tasks to carry out. Can we kindly ask for Hero Yan to spare a small boat for us? We still have over a dozen brothers that are captured and imprisoned on Black Blood Island while their lives are in danger. We have to use our fastest speed to reach the Northwest Continent to gather our nearby brothers and head for Black Blood Island to rescue our brothers. How many brothers do you have nearby? Yang Dingtian asked. There are more than a hundred. The Black Blood Cavalry brother said, There is a group on the sea, which is around 30. There is another group on land which has around a hundred. That is good. Yang Dingtian said, I am also preparing to eradicate that fake Yang Dingtian bastard on Black Blood Island. You will first follow me to Inferno Island, and I will provide you a fast ship. You will use your fastest speed and head to the continent and gather all the brothers. In at most two to three days, we will reach the Black Blood Island and wipe out all those bastards and rescue your brothers. We are truly grateful. That Black Blood Cavalry brother spoke with a gratified tone, Hero Yan is truly heroic and courageous. It is a pity that our Commander isnt around, and so is our Young Lord Yang Dingtian. Otherwise, you will definitely become good friends. At this moment, Yang Dingtian couldnt help but ask, There is something I dont know if I should ask. Please ask. The Black Blood Cavalry brother said. You have to drift about in the world because of Yang Dingtian and are forced to live like refugees. Do you regret it? Yang Dingtian asked. No regrets. How can we possibly regret it? That Black Blood Cavalry brothers instantly glowed with the radiance of conviction while he spoke passionately, Our Young Lord Yang Dingtian is the number-one prodigy in the world. We are now in the darkness before nirvana. Soon enough, Young Lord Yang Dingtian will lead us to our way back to Cloud Heaven City and take back the things that belong to us. Once these words were out, Yang Dingtians eyes instantly felt the heat, and he was overwhelmed with emotions. He might not have seen these brothers before, but they firmly believed in him and was willing to spill blood for him. Yang Dingtian turned around and didnt allow them to see his emotional expression and said, All of you should go rest for a while. When we arrive at Inferno Island, you will immediately depart for the continent. Many thanks, Hero Yan. Chapter 190: Betrothal! Chapter 190: Betrothal!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales After sailing for more than two hours, the cargo ship came to a stop at the pier of Inferno Island. The Inferno Island was a barren isle that spanned over a dozen square kilometers. They could only rely on shipping trade as the island couldnt support agriculture. Around two to three thousand people were residing on the island. However, the majority of them were ordinary people. Furthermore, there were lots of elderly and children. Therefore, they could only be counted as a weak faction. It was no wonder they got suppressed by the Black Blood Island to the point that they couldnt take a breather. After taking a glance at the entire island, it was certain that they couldnt be considered as flourishing or wealthy. Most of the housing here looked outmoded. There were a lot of people on the island anxiously waiting when the cavalry and the cargo ship were dozens of miles away from the pier. The people on the island immediately cheered when the cargo ship approached. It was apparent that they had been expecting Ling Wus ship for a very long time. Furthermore, when they saw that the big ship had returned safely, the ache in their hearts finally stopped. But when the big ship reached the shore, the pier was immediately filled with bitter crying when they discovered that dozens of people were missing. When the ship reached the shore, Ling Wu leaped down impatiently as she ran towards an older man at the pier. That old man could no longer move around by himself and could only sit on a chair while being carried by four youths. He ought to be Ling Wus father, whose meridians had been crippled by that bastard Qin Huaiju. Father... Ling Wu knelt down immediately as she threw herself into the old mans bosom. Its great that you have returned safely... Immediately, that old man was filled with tears as he continued, Its all because your father is useless. I had caused a girl like you to sail for thousands of miles and have to face dangers on the ocean. So long as the father can recover, Im willing to do anything. Ling Wu wept. Subsequently, the old man discovered the traces left behind from the battle on the ship as well as the corpses that were being carried down from the ship. His complexion instantly changed, Ling Wu, you guys encountered those damned people on the sea? Ling Wu nodded, I ran into them today. That old man trembled and replied, Then, how did you manage to escape? Its a big brother called Yan Nantian who had managed to kill that group of bastards, saving everyone on board of the ship as well as your daughters life. Ling Wu replied. At this moment, Yang Dingtian was also alighting from the ship. Ling Wu hurried over and pulled him towards the old man, Father, this is the hero who saved your daughters life, Yan Nantian. Immediately, that old man used all of his strength and wanted to stand up from the chair to thank Yang Dingtian. However, he was unable to do so no matter what he did and had almost fallen onto the ground. Daughter, help your father up. I want to thank Hero Yan for saving your life. The old man commented. Yang Dingtian replied hurriedly, Uncle, theres no need to be so polite. All of those evil scumbags had to be punished. Its something I ought to do. However, that old man still gave Yang Dingtian a deep bow with the support from Ling Wu. Yang Dingtian quickly returned an even more respectful bow. **************************** On that night, Yang Dingtian became the most distinguished guest on the island. Although the resources on the island were extremely scarce, they still organized a sumptuous banquet for Yang Dingtian. Everyone came to propose a toast with Yang Dingtian as they used an extremely gratifying gaze and looked at Yang Dingtian. There were even some women who pulled their child over and kowtowed to Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian kept drinking more and more. Ultimately, he was intoxicated to the point that his vision had turned blurry and staggered as he walked. It had been more than a hundred days since he had a decent meal and wine. After he had eaten and drunk to his hearts content, the island lord, Ling Zhong, accompanied Yang Dingtian for tea after the banquet had ended. Alright, all of you may be dismissed. I have something to speak with Hero Yan. Afterward, all of the servants and maids dismissed themselves and shut the room door as they left. After this, only Ling Zhong, Yang Dingtian, and Ling Wu remained inside the room. The atmosphere inside the room had immediately turned somewhat odd. Yang Dingtian felt something peculiar and had lowered his head as he sipped his tea silently. Meanwhile, Ling Wu had also felt this peculiar atmosphere as her cheeks turned red. She lowered her head and kept her silence as she replenished the tea for Yang Dingtian and her father. Ling Zhong suddenly raised his head and stared at Yang Dingtian for a long time. Yang Dingtian had instantly felt extremely strange after being stared at for such a long time. Hero Yan, what do you think of my daughters appearance? Ling Zhong inquired suddenly. Ling Wus face and ears immediately turned red, and her beautiful face glistened when the words were spoken. However, she still looked at Yang Dingtian with courageous eyes, as if she was waiting for him to reply. Yang Dingtians heart jumped before replying, Extremely unique. Then what do you think of my daughters temperament? Ling Zhong inquired once again. Magnanimous and courageous. Compose and virtuous. Yang Dingtian replied. Then, Hero Yan must have some feelings for my daughter, right? Ling Zhong continued. With such personality, how could there be anyone who wouldnt like Young Lady Ling Wu? Yang Dingtian replied. Once these words were said, Ling Wus beautiful eyes brightened up, and her whole face became even more beautiful. Then how about I betroth my daughter to Hero Yan? Although my Inferno Island has already declined, there are still thousands of citizens here. In any case, it is still a piece of the foundation. All of these will belong to you once you marry my daughter. Furthermore, be it this island or your future children, their surname will be Yan and not Ling. How about that? Ling Zhong inquired. After that, he looked at Yang Dingtian with a burning gaze. *********************************** At this moment, Ling Wu was extremely shy. However, she still widened her beautiful eyes and waited for Yang Dingtians reply. Her beautiful eyes were filled with anticipation and anxiousness. This was truly a cute and fearless lady. s?a??h th? N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yan Nantian is really overwhelmed by the favor. Yang Dingtian replied. Ling Wus beautiful eyes immediately revealed unbounded happiness and a trace of tenderness before he had finished his sentence. Ling Zhong replied impatiently, Does that mean Hero Yan has agreed to it? Yang Dingtian continued, Unfortunately, I have a wife already. Furthermore, she is extremely faithful to me. I cannot disappoint her, no matter what. Otherwise, I would have taken the initiative to woo Young Lady Ling Wu long ago, even before Uncle had spoken his mind. Ling Wus beautiful face suddenly became deathly pale when she heard Yang Dingtians words. Subsequently, tears surged out. Ling Zhongs body shuddered as he gazed at Yang Dingtian for a long time before sighing, Forget it. Its my daughter who does not have luck. Afterward, the room sunk into an awkward silence. A few minutes later, Ling Zhong smiled, Its late, Hero Yan must be tired. We have prepared a top-notch guest room for you. Have a good rest. Tomorrow, I will get my daughter to bring Hero Yan around to have a tour around my Inferno Island. Many thanks, Uncle. Yang Dingtian thanked. Immediately after, he left as if he was trying to escape. ***************************** This ought to be the best room on the island, and everything here was new. Inferno Island had indeed treated Yang Dingtian as their most distinguished guest. A female servant prepared a bucket of hot water for him to take a bath not long after Yang Dingtian went inside the room. Yang Dingtian undressed before lying inside the hot water comfortably as he enjoyed the rare comforts. Just when Yang Dingtian was about to fall asleep from the comfort because of the bathe, light footsteps resonated out behind him. It should be from the female servant who was specially prepared to serve him. Its late. You dont need to serve me anymore. Quickly go to sleep. Yang Dingtian closed his eyes and spoke. However, a burst of soft laughter could be heard from behind him. Yang Dingtian was surprised. He quickly opened up his eyes and realized that it was actually Ling Wu. The slim and alluring delicate body appeared to be extremely enchanting under the lights. Her beautiful small face flushed, causing her to appear beautiful and lovely. Young Lady Ling Wu, you... Yang Dingtian immediately stood up because of the shock. Ling Wu clenched her teeth before throwing herself over. She wrapped herself around Yang Dingtian tightly. Yan Nantian, I love you. I want to marry you. Ling Wus mouth was puffing the smell of liquor. The words she spoke were burning hot, and so was the breath she breathed out. Yang Dingtian used his strength slightly and wanted to pull her arms away. However, her arms were filled with strength, and Yang Dingtian was afraid to injure her. Thus, he didnt dare to pull her away forcefully. Young Lady Ling Wu, as I said before. I already have a wife. Yang Dingtian said. I dont believe it. Thats just an excuse. Ling Wu replied. Who wouldnt be enticed when facing such a beautiful lady? Yang Dingtian sighed, However, I really have a wife. I owe her way too much, and she is suffering because of me. I must never disappoint her. Perhaps, it was because she could feel the deep emotions from Yang Dingtian, Ling Wu stared at Yang Dingtian for a long time. Ultimately, she confirmed that what Yang Dingtian had just said was true. Immediately, the intoxication within her beautiful eyes gradually dissipated. After which, she smiled mournfully, It seems like Ling Wu truly does not have a good fortune. Yang Dingtian replied gently, You are so beautiful and cute. You will definitely be able to find an ideal husband. Its too late. Big Brother Yan. Ling Wu spoke bleakly, That evil bastard from the Black Blood Island had already given a final diplomatic note to my clan. In three days time, if Im not to appear before him, he would bring his men and kill everyone from Inferno Island. Subsequently, Ling Wus beautiful eyes turned fervent, I dont care if you have a wife. I love you. Three days later, I will let that evil thief receive a corpse. Young Lady Ling Wu. Listen well. Yang Dingtian held her face up, That evil bastard wouldnt be able to survive for another three days. Two days later, I will gather troops and slaughter our way to the Black Blood Island and massacre that group of bastards. Ling Wu blanked out. Subsequently, she shook her head, No. They have too many people. Furthermore, that evil bastards martial arts is extremely strong. You arent a match for him. They might have a lot of people, but so do we. Very soon, you will see our reinforcements arriving unendingly. Yang Dingtian continued, Furthermore, whether Im a match for that evil bastard or not, we will know after we fight. In any case, I will not leave until I kill that bastard. Ling Wu stared at Yang Dingtian for a long time before speaking, So what if you killed that evil bastard? My father is about to depart from this world very soon, and the man I love doesnt like me. Whats the point of me living? Yang Dingtian inhaled deeply, Young Lady Ling Wu, perhaps, I might be able to save your father. But I can only give it a try and cannot guarantee success. Chapter 191: Saving Ling Wu’s Father Chapter 191: Saving Ling Wus FatherTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Really? A pleasantly surprised radiance exploded out from Ling Wus beautiful eyes as she replied, So long as you can save my father, Im willing to pay any price. Immediately after, she continued embarrassingly, However, I dont have anything that you will fancy. So long as you dont seduce me and test my willpower, causing me to make a mistake. Im already very grateful for it. Yang Dingtian replied. Alright, then. I will leave immediately. Ling Wu released Yang Dingtian and spoke, Tomorrow, you must save my father. After this, she ran out like a butterfly. Advertisement **************************** The next morning, before daybreak, Ling Wu ran towards Yang Dingtians room and pulled him up from his bed. Quick. Quickly go and treat my father. Yang Dingtian woke up with hazy eyes. Following after, he washed up and changed his clothes with her assistance. When he arrived at the hall, he saw Ling Zhong was already sitting there in proper clothing. He couldnt help but be slightly startled, Uncle Ling, you are early. It was really early. If it was converted to the earths timestamp, it was not even 5:00 AM in the morning. Ling Zhong smiled embarrassingly. Advertisement Yang Dingtian discovered that his pair of eyes were very red and he was very excited and extremely anxious. S~?a??h the ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian looked back at Ling Wu, who was the same too. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian replied, Dont tell me both of you have not slept for the night? Immediately after, Ling Zhongs smile became even more embarrassed as he spoke, Originally, I told Ling Wu not to wake Hero Yan. However, she couldnt control herself. This father and daughter pair actually didnt sleep. They had waited for an entire night for Yang Dingtian to wake up to treat Ling Zhong. Yang Dingtian immediately felt the responsibility on his shoulder becoming very heavy. Ling Zhong sighed, I have truly made a fool out of myself in front of Hero Yan. If it isnt because I wish to continue living on and the fact that I am reluctant to part with my daughter just yet. I truly couldnt bear to hand this tremendous responsibility to her and let her suffer. If I couldnt see her get married and have children, I will not die contentedly. After he spoke, Ling Zhong was immediately filled with tears as he spoke in a sobbing voice. Advertisement I can understand. Yang Dingtian replied, However, I can only try my best. Im not certain if I would succeed, and I truly am not certain. Yang Dingtian truly wasnt certain. Without a doubt, the thing that he wanted to use for treating Ling Zhong was obviously the holy water that he stole from the Five Elements Hall secret realm. Originally, he stole it for Yanyan to use. However, when he saw how Ling Zhong was, he couldnt bear to leave him in the lurch. He couldnt guarantee that this holy water would still be effective after leaving the secret realm. If, by any chance, it was ineffective, it would truly be making the father and daughter fall down from heaven to hell. So long as Hero does his best, I would be deeply grateful. Ling Zhong replied, Even if there is one percent hope, its still worth our unbounded joy. Ling Wus beautiful eyes turned red, Hero can start the treatment. Regardless of whether the treatment is successful or not, you are still our Ling Clans biggest benefactor. Alright. Yang Dingtian replied, I have to request Young Lady Ling Wu to prepare a bucket of clear water. Dont put anything inside. Sure. Ill go right away. Ling Wu immediately dashed out after she heard the request. Advertisement Not long later, she carried a big wooden bucket in. It was filled with clear water and weighed about several hundreds of kilograms. Yet, she had carried it in alone. Give me a bowl. Yang Dingtian commented. What kind of bowl? Jade, gold, or crystal stone? Ling Wu inquired. Currently, she felt that the more precious the item she was going to use, the better the effect it could bring. Just an ordinary one would be fine. Yang Dingtian replied. Alright. I will get it immediately. After Ling Wu spoke, she dashed out again. Very quickly, she carried a pile of bowls in. There were all kinds of bowls in them. Yang Dingtian laughed bitterly. He then picked up a bowl casually before pretending to take out an elixir from his belongings and placed it into the bowl. Of course, this was just an ordinary Holy Spirit Elixir. It was only used to fool people. Advertisement However, the father and daughter stared at Yang Dingtians movement attentively. They seemed like they were about to suffocate from the nervous situation. Yang Dingtian placed the bowl inside his sleeve. Afterward, he scooped out about half a bowl of holy water from his spatial ring. He had roughly stolen a basin of the holy water. Therefore, he could only give him a little less than half a bowl of it. The remaining will have to be set aside for Yanyan. That elixir dissolved inside the holy water very quickly. Afterward, Yang Dingtian handed it over to Ling Zhong, Uncle Ling, drink half of the medicine and soak yourself in the other half. Ling Wu was slightly astounded, Its, its just so simple? Originally, she thought that it would be extremely complicated and profound. Unexpectedly, it was actually so simple. Eh. Its just so simple. Yang Dingtian smiled. Ling Zhongs hands trembled as he received the bowl. His breathing became extremely hurried while his lips shuddered. He used his every bit of strength to alleviate the trembling on both his hands, for fear that he would spill this incomparably precious medicine even by a drop. He used his remaining strength and drank this medicine bit by bit. He drank half of it with extreme caution. Afterward, he handed the bowl over to Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian poured the remaining medicine into clear water and commented, Uncle Ling, soak yourself in it for a while. Wait for 15 minutes, and we will be able to see if it is effective. Nobody Yan will be helpless if its ineffective. Sure, sure... Ling Zhong replied while trembling. Immediately after, Yang Dingtian went forward and carried Ling Zhong before placing him into the clear water that was mixed with the medicine. He was really skinny and was completely emaciated. He was 180cm tall yet only weighed about 40 to 45 kilograms. He was practically just skin and bones. It was clearly visible how serious his injuries were at that time. All of these were done by that fake Yang Dingtian. Ling Wu became extremely nervous after he was soaked into the medicine. Even her breathing had become abnormal as she stared closely at her father with her beautiful eyes. She inquired hurriedly even before 30 seconds had passed, Father, how do you feel? Foolish girl, how can it be so quick? Ling Zhong spoke with a trembling voice. Three minutes later. Ling Wu inquired again, Father, how do you feel? Foolish girl, how can it be so quick? Ling Zhong replied. Eight minutes. Ten minutes. Fifteen minutes. Ultimately, there was not much of a change or improvement to Ling Zhong. Ling Wus expression became more and more frightened while her face grew more and more deathly pale. Ling Zhongs smile became more and more astringent. Meanwhile, Yang Dingtians heart grew colder. Could it be that the holy water was really ineffective after leaving the secret realm? Please dont! Yang Dingtian really couldnt bear to see the people before him to fall into despair. Half an hour later, just as Ling Wu was about to abandon all of her hopes. She inquired with sadness, Father, how do you feel? Currently, Ling Zhong had completely come into acceptance as he smiled nonchalantly, Foolish girl, whats there to cry for. So long as you are fine... Immediately, Ling Wu started crying. Yang Dingtian was also feeling distressed about it. He bowed deeply, Uncle Ling, Young Lady Ling Wu, Im sorry. What are you saying? Ling Zhong smiled, Life and death are decided by heaven. Im already extremely grateful that Hero had done his best to save me. Thats right... Ling Wu smiled at Yang Dingtian, Big Brother Yan clearly knew that the chances were very uncertain. Yet, you were still willing to try it and had even wasted an extremely precious medicine. Ling Wu is already extremely grateful. Just like what father had said. All of this is fate! Ahhh... It was at this moment, Ling Zhong suddenly cried out, Very hot, its burning... A moment later, a beam of red light rapidly spread out around Ling Zhongs body under Ling Wu and Yang Dingtians surprised gaze. Immediately after, Ling Zhong had become younger at the speed at which it could be seen from naked eyes under the surprising and unbelievable eyes of Yang Dingtian and Ling Wu. His aged muscles became rosy as unlimited vigor and energy were recovering in his body rapidly. This holy water was actually so miraculous? Waaa... Unexpectedly, Ling Wu started to weep under extreme surprise. Shortly after, she turned around and threw herself towards Yang Dingtian as she hugged him tightly. She had completely disregarded Ling Zhong as she kissed Yang Dingtian lips ferociously. Thank you, thank you, Big Brother Yan... ********************************* Indeed, this holy water was extremely miraculous. In just a few short hours, Ling Zhong had fully recovered from his injuries. The aged him had unexpectedly turned younger by 20 to 30 years, making him seem like he was about 40 years old. He had completely recovered his previous extraordinary and martial appearance. But not only so, his mystic qi and martial arts were also recovering rapidly. This result was completely better than what he had anticipated. On that day, all of Ling Zhongs broken meridians were recovered. Unexpectedly, only half a bowl of holy water was needed for him to completely recover from such a fatal injury. Didnt this signify that Yanyan could also recover completely as well? After Ling Zhong had fully recovered, the first sentence he spoke was, Ling Wu, you must never tell anyone todays matter. Otherwise, it would bring forth boundless troubles for Hero Yan. Ling Wu nodded her head heavily, Father can be assured. I would rather die than to cause Big Brother Yan from getting into risky situations. When Ling Zhong heard Ling Wus words, he was slightly startled. His daughter seemed to have fallen really deep. ******************************* After Ling Zhong had recovered, Yang Dingtian started to speed up his annihilation plan that was going to happen to the Black Blood Island in two to three days. In the afternoon after Ling Zhong had recovered, the brothers of Black Blood Cavalry had actually arrived one after another. Because they were scattered far apart, they were unable to gather all at one go. After the brothers of Black Blood Cavalry had arrived, Ling Zhong and Ling Wus morale immediately rose up. Because the Black Blood Cavalry was clearly omitting intense soldier aura. They were certainly formidable reinforcement. This time, they were a lot more confident in bringing down the Black Blood Island that was going to happen in two days. At night, Yang Dingtian, Ling Wu, Ling Zhong, and a few of the officers from the Black Blood Cavalry had started to conduct the operational deployments. The map of Black Blood Island was drawn on the wall, and Ling Zhong had spent a huge price to obtain it. However, with the help of this map, a lot of information became clear to them. To come out unscathed through a hundred battles, know yourself and know your enemy. Chapter 192: Attack On Black Blood Island! Shocking Everyone! Chapter 192: Attack On Black Blood Island! Shocking Everyone!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales In the end, the Black Blood Island was unexpectedly heavily guarded, which caused Yang Dingtian to feel disappointed. Its surroundings were covered with tall sheer cliffs and steep rock faces, leaving only one way to enter it. Furthermore, that area was covered entirely with cliffs and steep rocks too, and only three people would be able to cross at a time. This was not just heavily guarded. Rather, it was a place that even a single person could defend against ten thousand enemies. Apparently, it was no longer possible for him to bring people along to assault the island. They would only be throwing their lives away. Fight a decisive battle on the ocean. Gather dozens of ships and fight a decisive battle on the ocean! Yang Dingtian pointed onto the sketch on the wall and instructed firmly. Immediately, those people below him were slightly startled. They were baffled but did not dare to question the decision. Advertisement The one who spoke was actually Ling Wu, Big Brother Yan, although its impossible for us to win a battle on land, it is even harder on the ocean because what they have would greatly surpass us regardless of the number of ships we have or the quality of the ships. Furthermore, they are pirates and are experts in maritime battles. Our disadvantage would only be worse on the ocean. The moment Ling Wu spoke out, everyone immediately nodded their heads in succession. Dont worry, I have a secret weapon. Yang Dingtian replied, In the remaining one to two days, all of you will have to prepare a large amount of charcoal, flints as well as sulfuric crystal stones... Yang Dingtian listed out dozens of stuff before continuing, I have great use for these things. Immediately after, Yang Dingtian added, In addition, dispatch people to create dozens of special wood machines over the next two days. Later on, I will draw out the detailed blueprint of it. All you need to do is create it according to the blueprint. Although everyone present was filled with doubts, they still agreed to it like before. Yes! Advertisement ***************************** Two days later, everything had already been prepared. Several hundreds of secret weapons had been manufactured, together with dozens of the large wood machines. Over a hundred Black Blood Cavalry brothers had also rushed over. At this moment, the Black Blood Islands envoys had disembarked on the Inferno Island. Their arrogance was incomparably unbridled. Im here to bring the person over. Quickly wash your Young Lady Ling Wu sparkling white and send her over to the ship. The ships are to be filled with gold coins so that I can bring it along with me to the Black Blood Island. Otherwise, if my Black Blood Army is to launch on assault, it will definitely be utter extermination of your Inferno Island. The moment the words were spoken, the Black Blood Cavalry brothers were about to explode. Advertisement Seize them! Yang Dingtian ordered Immediately, dozens of Inferno Island warriors went forward and captured the envoys. The envoys from the Black Blood Island were immediately frightened and angered as one of them spoke coldly, Are you tired of living? You actually dared to disrespect us. Arent you afraid of being dismembered into thousands of pieces by our Young Master Yang Dingtian? Shut your mouth. Yang Dingtian spoke sternly. Immediately, the Black Blood Cavalry brothers could no longer endure any longer as they held up an iron ruler and stepped forward as they gave that arrogant envoy a vengeful slap. Ahh... ahh... A series of miserable wailing resonated out immediately. In just a short moment, all of that envoys teeth had flown out. His head was swollen to the point that it looked like a pig head, and his cheek was badly mutilated. Advertisement All the other envoys were trembling from the sight. They had practically peed in their pants as they knelt before Yang Dingtian and begged for mercy. Behead them and burn their flags! Yang Dingtian commanded. Immediately, those envoys, as well as the captured Qin Hongmian, were pushed and forced to kneel on the ground. They were immediately terrified and inconsolable. Other than Qin Hongmian, who couldnt yell out, the remaining of them screeched out in fright as they excreted. You dare? Our Young Master will definitely dismember all the men into thousands of pieces and let your families live in utter misery... S?a??h the N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Kill! Yang Dingtian commanded. Immediately, blade rays could be seen everywhere as blood splattered out. Several heads flew out directly. Board the ship! Advertisement Over a hundred Black Blood Cavalry brothers and over 300 Inferno Island warriors boarded dozens of ships in various models under the command. Even the recently recovered Ling Zhong had also boarded the ship resolutely. Yang Dingtian boarded the largest flagship. Dozens of ships were carrying several hundreds of secret weapons as well as dozens of large wood machines. They advanced towards the Black Blood Island majestically. ******************************** Qin Huaiju, who was impersonating Yang Dingtian as the Black Blood Island owner, did not obtain the beauty, Ling Wu. Rather, he saw dozens of ships arriving from the Inferno Island. Immediately, he laughed out as if he had heard the biggest joke on earth, Have I misheard? Do Inferno Island people actually want to start a war with me? They want to start a war with me by relying on these dozens of lousy ships and a few hundreds of people who had not even held a weapon before? Furthermore, it is a maritime battle? Hahaha, haha... Immediately, everyone inside the main hall laughed out loudly. Indeed, this was the funniest joke they had heard. Suddenly, Qin Huaiju suddenly stood up and yelled, They actually refuse a toast only to drink a defeat. All of my brothers, board the ships! After killing all of them, slaughter our way into the Inferno Island directly. Exterminate, burn, and plunder everything! After he spoke, Qin Huaiju slashed his sharp sword down at a beauty beside him. He sliced her beautiful head down alive and treated it as a sacrifice. ********************************* An hour later, over a hundred pirate warships were arranged in a mighty and orderly formation as they charged out of the Black Blood Island docks. Half an hour later, both armies came face to face with each other, and they were merely ten miles apart. The disposition of forces between both sides was like heaven and earth. On the pirates side, they had more than 100 ships with thousands of pirate warriors. On Inferno Islands side, they only had 30 ships with less than 500 people. On the pirates side, their battle formation seemed formidable, and their warships looked firm and incisive. On Inferno Islands side, their battle formation was in disorder; they were composed of all kinds of ships, even fishing boats. When Qin Huaiju saw this, he laughed out once again, Crazy. All Inferno Island people have gone crazy. Immediately after, he gave his orders, Charge over. Exterminate all of them. Over a hundred pirate warships accelerated instantly. They advanced towards the dozens of Inferno Island ships with extreme ferocity. The pirate ships approached, and the distance between them grew closer so much that they could see the pirates sinister faces and their terrifying bows and arrows. With the exception of the Black Blood Cavalry brothers, the Inferno Island warriors bodies started to tremble as they grew frightened. The disparity between both sides was simply too large for this battle. No matter how they saw it, the Inferno Island side would certainly lose and die. The pirate fleet came closer and closer. Five miles. Three miles. Two miles. The pirates expression grew malevolent and excited. Very soon, they would be able to massacre all the people openly. So long as they got near, the people of Inferno Island on the ships would be like sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Although they saw three to four meters tall weird wooden machines on every one of those Inferno Island ships, they still completely disregard it. They werent afraid of it even if it was a large crossbow, let alone this kind of wooden frame. A wooden frame couldnt possibly kill someone, right? When the distance between them was about 500 meters, Yang Dingtian yelled out fiercely. Release! Along with Yang Dingtians instruction, dozens of wooden frames immediately shot out. They shot out dozens of silk packages and a bundle of stuff that consisted of oil papers. There was also a string of sparks being combusted unceasingly, each of them weighed several kilograms. The pirates stared at the incoming silk package and instantly burst into laughter, The Inferno Island people had actually used cloth packages to smash us. I have never seen anything more amusing than this. Haha... Immediately, all of the pirates burst into laughter. A portion of those dozens of silk packages had fallen into the ocean. Although the accuracy of the stone catapult that was manufactured by Yang Dingtian was pretty ordinary, dozens of them still landed onto the central part of the pirate fleet. Boom... Boom... Boom... Suddenly, the incoming dozens of silk packages issued a loud explosion followed by the flames that were rocketing up to the sky as they exploded in a world-shaking manner. It was as if countless tremendous world-shaking thunders had resonated on the surface of the ocean. It released countless huge and terrifying flames. Immediately, the flames spread out to dozens of meters. Everything that the flames touched was turned mutilated. Countless pirates had died horribly as their blood shot out like whirlwind while their severed limbs flew everywhere. Dozens of ships were blown up into smithereens by the explosion directly. The strong waves had also overturned even those ships that were slightly further away from the explosion. Immediately, everyone was rendered stupefied! Not only the people from the pirates side were rendered stupefied, but even those people from Inferno Island were also stunned. The Black Blood Cavalry brothers were also stupefied. All of them stared at Yang Dingtian in disbelief. Although they had obeyed Yang Dingtians order, it was simply because Yang Dingtian had done them a great favor. They did not hold much hope for Yang Dingtians secret weapon. After all, the silk packages only held a pile of mud and some wooden frames. Chapter 193: Annihilation Of The Pirates! Qin Huaiju Is Afraid Of Water! Chapter 193: Annihilation Of The Pirates! Qin Huaiju Is Afraid Of Water!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Within seconds, the gazes that looked at Yang Dingtian were filled with reverence, as if they had just seen a celestial body. Of course, what Yang Dingtian had manufactured was gunpowder. Charcoal could be found anywhere, and in this world, niter, which was called white flint, was a lot more powerful than the earths niter. In this world, sulfur could be replaced by sulfuric crystal stones, and they were a lot more potent than sulfur as well. Therefore, the explosives that were created were several times stronger than the gunpowder created on earth. Inside each silk package, there were about five to ten kilograms of gunpowder. Naturally, the explosion was extremely astonishing. To prevent misfire, Yang Dingtian had separated all the Inferno Island fleet far apart. Otherwise, if a package of gunpowder were to explode while it was on the ship, the aftermath would have been severe. And to keep it a secret, Yang Dingtian got Ling Wu to prepare dozens of stuff personally. However, he had only used three of them. Ultimately, the creation of the gunpowder compound was done by Yang Dingtian alone. As for placing the gunpowder package into the silk package and oil paper, it was all done with the assistance of the Black Blood Cavalry brothers. **************************** Qin Huaiju was immediately rendered stupefied when he saw the scene from the backlines. Never had he imagined there would be such a conclusion. Just dozens of silk packages had actually caused him to lose over 20 ships as well as several hundreds of pirates. Furthermore, the remaining pirates had turned ashen due to fright. Some of them had even knelt down and kowtowed with their lives because they thought that what happened a moment ago was done by the thunder god. Dont tell me I have to retreat like this? Qin Huaiju muttered in his heart, No, I will not resign myself to this. I have become an overlord from an illegitimate child that was bullied by everyone. I must not admit defeat. Afterward, he yelled out, Charge forward, charge forward! The distance between us is only two miles apart. Once we charge over, they would be dead. They only had dozens of those heavenly thunders. They had already finished using all of it. Along with the instructions being passed down, those fearless pirate leaders immediately sailed the ship with all their might as they charged towards the Inferno Island fleet. All of the pirate ships had rushed over. This Qin Huaiju truly possessed a terrifying gambling ability! Yang Dingtian smiled coldly. I was just worried that you would not rush over. Release... Yang Dingtian commanded. Immediately, dozens of silk explosives were thrown out by the catapults. Boom, Boom, Boom... There was another round of world-shaking explosions. Countless pirates died horribly, and dozens of ships had suddenly torn apart. Release... Release... Release... Along with Yang Dingtians orders, explosive packages were being hurled out wave after wave. Countless world-shaking explosions and blaze were being released. The pirate ships that numbered more than a hundred had practically been completely destroyed in the two to three miles distance as they rushed over. Only three to four ships had managed to break into the Inferno Island fleet. However, this was purely done by luck. The pirates on the ship had completely been frightened to the point that their soul had broken down as they excreted themselves. Before they even got near, over a hundred Black Blood Cavalry brothers pounced over impatiently as they massacred the pirates on the ship. In a span of 30 minutes, all of the pirates had been completely wiped out. There was only one ship remaining that was ten miles away. That was Qin Huaijus flagship! A moment ago, he seemed as if he had been struck by lightning when he saw that the pirate ships were being destroyed one after another, and countless of his subordinates had died horribly. At the start, it felt like his heart was bleeding. However, when it was near the end, he had turned numb from the pain. This was a part of his foundation. He was nothing in the Northwest Qin City. Even Qin Huaiyus servant didnt look at him in the eye. Over there, his life was like a dog. After which, when Qin Huaiyu proposed to impersonate the Black Blood Cavalry to ruin Yang Dingtians reputation, no one in the Northwest Qin City was willing to accept this assignment because this was an utter dirty job. Furthermore, it was a dirty job that one wouldnt be freed from. It was like a urine pot that could be replaced anytime. It was that sort of dirty job. However, Qin Huaiju accepted it. Afterward, he took over a group of bullies and losers from the Northwest Qin City as he set up a team of several hundred men. After half a year, it grew stronger over time as it had grown to thousands of people. Over here, he felt that his life had been started afresh. After that, it rose to the feeling of as if he had become the emperor. He was the emperor of the sea region that spanned over a thousand miles. He could kill whoever he wished to and would be able to sleep with any woman he wanted. In this half a year, he had no idea how many people he killed or how many women had he defiled. He was envious and hated Yang Dingtian because Yang Dingtian was just a nobody, yet he could become Dongfang Niemies disciple and Ximen Wuyas son-in-law. Most importantly, he actually obtained Ximen Yanyan. He had met Ximen Yanyan before. She was an astonishing beauty. However, he had never dared to dream of obtaining Ximen Yanyan. He had a lot of women before, but they werent even comparable to one of Ximen Yanyans fingers even after adding all of them up together. However, Yang Dingtian was actually able to obtain Ximen Yanyan. Why? How? Therefore, he felt a particular kind of satisfaction when he impersonated Yang Dingtian to do evil. Of course, he was also somewhat grateful for Yang Dingtian deep within his heart because Yang Dingtian had beaten Qin Shaobai to a cripple. He was just purely envious of Yang Dingtian, but the hatred he had for Qin Shaobai was entirely in his bones. In the Northwest Qin City, Qin Shaobai was only second to Qin Huaiyus pet. Usually when Qin Huaiyu bumped into Qin Huaiju, he would still display the most basic courtesy towards him. But when Qin Shaobai bumped into him, it was as if he had deemed him as a pig or dog. *********************************** But now, he was filled with inexhaustible hatred towards the person that had destroyed everything before him. It was to the point that it had exceeded the hatred he had for Qin Shaobai. He had no idea who this person was. However, he knew that this person was certainly someone not from Inferno Island. If Inferno Island had such genius, it wouldnt have declined to such an extent. Endless hatred had engulfed his heart, and endless flames were blazing crazily. Who, who is the one who destroyed my Qin Huaijus foundation. Im going to dismember you into thousands of pieces... Suddenly, he howled out. He had even forgotten to impersonate Yang Dingtian anymore under his extreme wrath. He then gave an insane command for the big ship to charge towards the Inferno Island fleet. At the start, how could those pirates that had been scared stiff dared to charge over? Wouldnt it be bringing about their own destruction? Qin Huaiju immediately flew into a rage. He raised his sword and started a massacre on his ship. Immediately, dozens to a hundred people had died horribly under his sword while the rest of them jumped into the sea to flee for their lives. Suddenly, the big ship was only left with Qin Huaiju alone as the ship swirled around the sea. Qin Huaiju had a special trait. He was afraid of water. Thats right. Although he was a Martial Mystic expert, he was still afraid of water. Because of the time, when he was five years old, his mother had brought him to meet his biological father for the first time, which also happened to be the lord of Northwest Qin City. Instead of being loved, the Qin City Lord had grabbed him and thrown him into the pond to drown because his mother was a shameful woman. Of course, he didnt die and was saved by the Qin City Lords wife. However, after experiencing the near-death experience in the pond as well as seeing his mother being thrown down to her death from the upper floors, he became afraid of water since then. He wouldnt even dare to go inside a bathtub. Even though he was afraid of water, he still accepted the task of impersonating Yang Dingtian and became the pirate chief. However, he had spent all of his time inside the base and had never head out to sea personally. Today, he thought that it would be a complete massacre of the other side for this great war with Inferno Island. He had only followed out to the sea because his mood was great. But unexpectedly, he ended up with a not-so-desirable conclusion. At this moment, he was the only person remaining after all his killings, and he wouldnt be able to sail the ship alone. Immediately, he was trapped by the spins of the ship alone and could only yell for help. When Yang Dingtian saw this, he sneered and said, Surround him! Suddenly, dozens of ships rushed towards Qin Huaijus ship and surrounded it with a semicircle formation. Release... Yang Dingtian gave his orders suddenly. All the catapult on the ships resonated as they hurled dozens of explosive packages over like heavy rain. Instantly, that spinning ship was completely surrounded by dozens of explosive packages. Boom... Boom... Boom... A series of world-shaking explosions resonated out as countless blazes were ignited on the surface of the sea. That big ship was like a toy as it was being torn to shreds immediately. Countless fragments flew out everywhere! Release... Release... Release... Although that big ship had already been engulfed by the raging flames and had been completely damaged, Yang Dingtian still gave the command to continue hurling the explosive packages. Because there were still a lot of explosive packages not used, this kind of potential self-harming weapon must not be kept. Therefore, the catapult kept on hurling tirelessly. The surrounding surface of the sea around the big ship was filled with raging flames, making it look extremely stunning. After exploding for over a dozen minutes, Yang Dingtian gave the command to stop, leaving behind dozens of explosive packages where he would look after them himself. He might possibly need it when he would launch an attack at Black Blood Island. Meanwhile, the big ship could no longer be seen on the surface of the sea while logs of wood fragments floated around. It was a complete mess. As for Qin Huaiju, his figure could no longer be seen! s?a??h th?

Previously, they had never thought of winning. But unexpectedly, not only had they won, it was done without any difficulties. There was practically no casualty on their side. Bang... It was at this moment, a ship ahead suddenly exploded. The whole ship had exploded out abruptly. The warriors on the ship flew to the sky as their blood splattered out. Immediately after, a figure that was covered in blood shot out from the sea suddenly. He held a sharp sword in hand and charged towards the fleet like lightning as he slaughtered frenziedly. It was Qin Huaiju. During the explosion of the explosive packages, he had finally overcome the fear he had for seawater. He suddenly jumped down to the sea and dived down to the seabed to avoid being injured from the raging flame. He thought that he was about to die the instant he had jumped into the sea because even when he was in the bathtub, he felt that he was about to suffocate. But unexpectedly, the instant he jumped into the sea, the phobia he had for water had instantly vanished without a trace and was substituted by the inexhaustible rage. He then charged towards the Inferno Island fleet from under the water. He wanted to rely on himself and killed all of his enemies. After which, he would rely on himself and made a comeback as he built an even stronger foundation. Chapter 194: Death of the Fake Yang Dingtian! Chapter 194: Death of the Fake Yang Dingtian!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Qin Huaiju was a Martial Mystic rank expert, and when he charged towards the fleet, he looked just like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain that was charging into a herd of sheep. No one among them was his match as he slaughtered with madness. In just a short span of a few seconds, he managed to kill dozens of people. Furthermore, all of them died without any intact bodies. He was completely like an underworld reaper. Yang Dingtian was instantly angered. He suddenly unsheathed his youngling sword and leaped into the sky as he howled sternly, Qin Huaiju, your opponent is me! Afterward, he brandished the huge sword and suddenly darted towards Qin Huaiju fiercely. Clang... In midair, Yang Dingtian borrowed the rushing momentum and slashed down vigorously! Qin Huaiju circulated all the mystic qi in himself and raised his sword to welcome Yang Dingtian. A loud collision resonated! Incomparably formidable mystic qi suddenly shot out as it upsurged huge waves that were dozens of meters in height from the surface of the sea. Suddenly, Yang Dingtian was sent flying back. However, he didnt vomit out any blood! S?a?ch* Th? N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. A one star Martial Mystic rank expert was very strong. However, they wouldnt be able to inflict any severe injuries on Yang Dingtian when he had his youngling sword. Since his youngling sword was able to devour a significant portion of the fire attribute mystic qi energy, the fire attribute energy that entered Yang Dingtians body through the youngling sword had already been greatly reduced. Furthermore, after his youngling sword had devoured these energies, not only would he not feel any pain, he would even feel a sort of jubilant sensation. Yang Dingtian would even be able to feel its growth during that point in time. Previously, he had inquired his master before if other youngling swords had the ability to devour energies without being injured. His master told him that there wasnt such a thing. He said that he had never seen any youngling sword that was like Ah Chou before. (NOTE: Ah Chou is the name of Yang Dingtians youngling sword. It literally translates to, Oh Ugly.) It seemed like Yang Dingtian had forged an exceptional and unique sword! Furthermore, it kept on surprising Yang Dingtian. ********************************* Qin Huaiju did not retreat half a step even after receiving Yang Dingtians strike because he was a Martial Mystic rank expert after all. However, he still looked at Yang Dingtian in disbelief and spoke, Who exactly are you? How did you know my name? Your mystic qi is merely in the middle-grade Great Mystic Martial Master rank. Why arent you injured after receiving my attack? This is impossible! Yang Dingtian sneered and replied, It doesnt matter who I am. Whats crucial is that you are going to die here today. Hahaha... Qin Huaiju laughed, By you alone? A Great Mystic Martial Master wishes to kill me. Keep dreaming! The person who is going to die today would be you! I will use your head as the urination pot to commemorate todays battle! After he spoke, he exploded with killing intent and flew dozens of meters high. After which, he relied on the descending force and slashed at Yang Dingtian fiercely. Die... In your dreams... Yang Dingtian howled. He welcomed Qin Huaijus sharp sword by slashing ruthlessly. Clang... A loud noise reverberated out. There was a trail of sparks that was a few meters long. The surrounding seawater had suddenly split open. The extremely formidable mystic qi energy swept out. Suddenly, Yang Dingtians body trembled as he got pushed down into the water ruthlessly. His whole arm felt as if it had been lacerated while his chest and stomach felt like it had been overturned. His throat turned sweet, and a mouthful of blood was about to be spurt out. However, he swallowed it back down forcefully even though he knew that it would only cause his injuries to worsen. However, what he wanted was an incomparably firm determination, a powerful determination! Afterward, he exited out from the water surface like a cannonball being shot into the sky. Yang Dingtian laughed, How is it? Cant even kill me! Qin Huaiju was completely shocked. Who exactly was this person before him? This person was merely a Great Mystic Martial Master, and he was a class higher than this person. Unexpectedly, he couldnt do anything to him at all. Who exactly was this person? Why was he so heavenly-defying? Your mystic qi wouldnt be able to kill me. The person who is going to die now will be you! Yang Dingtian laughed. Because Yang Dingtian possessed the best sword art in the world, he was able to fight and kill in close combat. His mystic qi could not injure Qin Huaiju, but his sword art was able to behead him. There was nothing for him to fear so long as Qin Huaijus mystic qi couldnt kill him. Of course, Qin Huaijus sword would also be able to behead Yang Dingtian. However, Yang Dingtian possessed the best sword art in the world. If he couldnt even block Qin Huaijus sword art, he should just slit his own throat and commit suicide. Now, let me, this Great Mystic Martial Master, trample upon you. Yang Dingtian laughed out. He brandished his youngling sword in his hand and charged over suddenly. Clang Clang Clang Clang... Instantly, Yang Dingtian slashed out dozens of strikes! Qin Huaiju parried them with all his efforts. His speed was extremely quick. Therefore, he was still able to parry off these dozens of sword strikes. However, he instantly landed himself in a disadvantageous position. The moment Yang Dingtian chose to fight with him in close combat, he had fallen into a defensive situation that was disadvantageous to him. Pig Slaying Sword Art C Piercing Throat and Releasing Blood! Pig Slaying Sword Art C Disembowel! Pig Slaying Sword Art C Severing the Head! Pig Slaying Sword Art C Getting Rid of the Heart and Lungs! Pig Slaying Sword Art C Clearing the Intestines! Suddenly, Yang Dingtian was fighting with increasing guts. The Pig Slaying Sword Art was being executed as he desired as there wasnt a fixed move, but it still possessed terrifying lethality. Qin Huaijus complexion turned ashen as he retreated repeatedly. Although he was still parrying off with his utmost effort, it got more and more strenuous and dangerous for him. Meanwhile, everyone onboard was completely stupefied by the scene. Ling Wu looked at Yang Dingtians heroic silhouette, and her beautiful eyes had completely been intoxicated by him. Her delicate body trembled in excitement as if countless electric currents had struck her body. Immediately, scenes of how she had interacted with Yang Dingtian for the past few days replayed within her mind like a movie. Her whole heart trembled as she had fallen in love completely. Pig Slaying Sword Art C Chopping Off the Limbs. Pig Slaying Sword Art C Scraping the Bone and Shaving the Flesh. Pig Slaying Sword Art C Sword Entering the Chopping Board! Yang Dingtian got fiercer and bolder as he battled! Finally, the quantitative change had led to a qualitative change as Qin Huaiju stumbled under the attacks. This is the time. Its time to kill you...! Yang Dingtian yelled out! Die...! Immediately, the huge sword on his hand sliced down fiercely as it brought along the terrifying killing intent. Qin Huaiju was shocked and heartbroken. He landed onto a rock and spurted out a mouthful of blood. Demonic Bloodthirsty Ritual... Immediately, an extremely formidable mystic qi shot out from his body. It pushed his body out like a cannonball and flew a dozen meters away, hoping to evade Yang Dingtians astounding sword strike! However, he was still unable to dodge it away. Yang Dingtians sword suddenly streaked across. Immediately, his face turned cold, which was followed by scorching sharp pain. Afterward, Qin Huaijus whole right face had been sliced off by Yang Dingtian. It was drenched in blood, and his bones could be seen. Instantly, half of the head had a face while the other half was faceless, making Qin Huaiju look malevolent and terrifying. He looked completely like a malicious spirit. Qin Huaiju hovered in midair and allowed the blood on his face to drip down. He stared at Yang Dingtian in complete disbelief, and his eyes were entirely red like blood. Youre very strong. Although you are just a Great Mystic Martial Master, you are the strongest Great Mystic Martial Master that I have met. Qin Huaiju commented coldly. Today, I wouldnt be able to make it out alive. However, you have to die as well! Lets die together then... Qin Huaiju howled out before letting out hysterical laughter. Afterward, his body suddenly swelled and expanded bigger and bigger. Bang... All of his skin and flesh suddenly exploded out. Countless blood mist erupted out as well. Instantly, his height grew close to three meters tall while his whole body swelled like a netherworld demon. The complexion of the people on the Inferno Island Ship immediately became terrified. Their hearts were filled with extreme fear as they were worried about Yang Dingtian. Mad Demon Explosion Mystic Ritual... A devilish howl reverberated out. Qin Huaijus body suddenly burst out with towering and terrifying energy. Boom... Suddenly, his surroundings exploded with a hundred-meter huge wave! Demonic Netherworld Fire... Qin Huaijus demon-like body suddenly combusted and soared with raging flames. The scarlet red raging flames brought along incomparably terrifying energy. Die... After a yell, Qin Huaijus combusting body shot towards Yang Dingtian like an extremely fast cannonball. Because this was a completely suicidal mystic skill, it possessed astonishing destructive power! However, Yang Dingtian would never resign to his fate. The other partys speed had completely reached its limit. Furthermore, it had locked onto Yang Dingtian tenaciously. It was impossible to evade it. As more and more seconds passed, the other partys energy grew increasingly astonishing. Ah Chou, our life and death trial is here! Yang Dingtian grasped onto his youngling sword tightly as he charged at the incoming Qin Huaiju human warhead. Nooo... Ling Wu issued a terrified and heartbroken cry. It was like a meteor crashing into the earth! Two formidable energies collided into each other with extreme ferocity. Mother, Im coming, your son is here to accompany you... Qin Huaiju issued an extremely sorrowful cry. The huge sword on Yang Dingtians hand slashed down ferociously the instant they collided with each other! Boom... There was an earth-shaking explosion, a towering blaze that could cover the sunset and overflowing huge waves that looked stunning! Instantly, Qin Huaijus body was torn and crushed as it got turned into countless blazes, like dazzling fireworks before splashing onto the entire surface of the sea. Chapter 195: Heaven Dao Union Conference, Heading to Cloud Heaven City Again! Chapter 195: Heaven Dao Union Conference, Heading to Cloud Heaven City Again!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Instantly, Qin Huaijus body was torn and crushed as it got turned into countless blazes. It was just like dazzling fireworks before splashing onto the sea surface. Afterward, the ocean was deathly quiet! Everyone was terribly frightened and afraid as they waited for the fire to dissipate. They looked forward to seeing that majestic silhouette once again and hoped that their hero was still alive! ************************************* After the fire had dissipated! Everyone was able to see Yang Dingtian still hovering in midair clearly. All of his clothing had been completely torn into pieces. The majestic silhouette was covered in blood. Both of his eyes were tightly shut, but he was still holding onto that huge sword while his body was still releasing an intense killing aura. This scene would be engraved into everyones heart forever, and they would never be able to erase it for eternity. Ahhh... Ling Wu wailed and darted out suddenly. ********************************** Yang Dingtian was fine! He opened up his eyes very quickly. Although his injuries were severe as Qin Huaijus final suicidal attack was too terrifying. The amount of energy was numerous times more than what Qin Huaiju could emit normally. The youngling sword had withstood the majority of the damage. Yet, Yang Dingtian was still drenched with blood, and his body was gravely injured. Ling Wu immediately darted over. After which, she hugged onto the mutilated Yang Dingtian before darting back quickly. Afterward, she used the shortest path to rush back to Inferno Island. She also didnt waste any time to place Yang Dingtian into the wooden bucket that was filled with the holy water. It was the same clear water that had healed Ling Zhong, which contained less than half a bowl of holy water. Ling Zhong intended to use it as a family heirloom and hand it down as an inheritance. Although the holy water was already extremely diluted, Yang Dingtians injuries werent as serious as Ling Zhong. Furthermore, his mystic meridians innate potential wasnt something that Ling Zhong couldnt compare with. Therefore, he had woken up in just one day. Immediately after he woke up, he saw Ling Wus emotional and bewitching eyes. They were like an emotional net. The day when Yang Dingtian had lost his consciousness, she had practically not left his side. She kept on looking at Yang Dingtian with her beautiful eyes to the point that she had even lost track of time. She revealed a surprised expression when she saw Yang Dingtian had woken up. However, she didnt dodge the eye contact. Instead, her beautiful eyes became even more emotional. Yang Dingtian, you lied to me... Ling Wu spoke frailly. Her voice had changed entirely. It became frail and enchanting. It was totally different from how it was previously. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but be surprised when he heard her calling out his name. Afterward, he touched his own face. Yesterday, your mask was destroyed amid the final great battle. Ling Wu commented, Your appearance is totally the same as that evil bastard after he had put on his disguise. I had memorized this face into the depths of my bone. However, in the past, it was hatred that was engraved deep into the bones. Now, it was the affection that was engraved deep into the bones. All of a sudden, Yang Dingtian was rendered speechless when he heard her brazen and provocative speech. Be at ease. No one other than me had seen your real face yet. I hugged you immediately. Furthermore, during that point in time, your whole body was drenched in blood. After carrying you into this room, I had ordered that no one is allowed into the room, including my father. Ling Wu commented, Currently, they should be extremely impatient already. After that, did you conquer the Black Blood Island? Yang Dingtian inquired. Conquered, with no difficulty. Ling Wu replied, We had also rescued your Black Blood Cavalry brothers as well. However, four of them had died. After which, our people and your brothers had massacred all the remaining pirates on the island. We had also rescued several hundred women and seized countless gold coins and treasures. Thats good, thats good... Yang Dingtian said. It seemed like your Black Blood Cavalry brothers had received an order. They were extremely anxious to leave. It seemed like your mother-in-law, and the Commander Ximen Lie was gathering them urgently. Ling Wu continued, However, they left behind four men to wait for you to wake up. Let them in then. Just help me cover my face with a piece of towel. Yang Dingtian replied. ************************************ After the four Black Blood Cavalry brothers entered, they bowed respectfully immediately! S?a?ch* Th? ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The Black Blood Cavalry thanks Hero Yan for his life-saving grace! Its really fortunate for us to see Hero Yan had awakened! Yang Dingtians face was covered with a layer of towel as he spoke, Youre welcome. It wasnt because he was unreasonable and didnt wish to meet his brothers. Rather, it was because he had important matters he needed to handle after this, and he still couldnt reveal his identity yet. Originally, we should have knelt down to thank your life-saving grace. However, my Black Blood Cavalry had only knelt before the City Lord Ximen last time. Afterward, we will only kneel before Young Master Yang Dingtian. We plead Hero Yan to take no offense to it. Yang Dingtian replied solemnly, All of you are filled with indomitable spirits. You need not kneel to anyone. Sometimes, kneeling on a single knee is also a form of honor. The Black Blood Cavalry brothers replied. Why is your commander summoning you people back so urgently? Yang Dingtian inquired, Of course, if you dont wish to, you can choose not to reply. Our Black Blood Castle is open and upright. Everything we do can be told to others. The Black Blood Cavalry brothers commented, The Heaven Dao Union is about to convene the Northwest Conference. They want to force the Evil Dao infiltrator accusation onto our Young Master Yang Dingtian. They want to make Young Master Yang Dingtian lose his standing and to be hunted by the whole world. They want to make Young Master Yang Dingtian lose his spot to participate in the next year City Lord competition. We are unable to locate the Hidden Sect disciple, Young Master Wu Ming. Therefore, Madam Ximen and Commander Ximen had to gather all of the brothers outside and to arm ourselves fully and kill our way back to the Cloud Heaven City! (TL note: I changed Nameless to Wu Ming, as it sounds a little better.) Yang Dingtians heart suddenly trembled. This group of bastards. This group of shameless bastards! Ximen Ju, Yang Yan, Qin Huaiju, and Tang Bozhao were actually trying to eradicate Yang Dingtian completely. They wanted to slander him so that he would never be able to emancipate himself even if he were to get formidable. Currently, the Heaven Dao Unions Northwest Conference is controlled by those villains. If the final meeting is to be statutory, our Young Master would really be chased by the whole world as an Evil Dao infiltrator. If that is going to happen, two thousand of our Black Blood Cavalry brothers would definitely use our blood and sharp swords to protect Young Master Yang Dingtians honor! Dont go... Yang Dingtian had almost blurted out what he wanted to say. But he endured it. They would never listen to it unless he were to reveal his real identity as Young Master Yang Dingtian to command them. But he couldnt do so. He couldnt let anyone associate Yang Dingtian and the Hidden Sect disciple, Wu Ming, to be affiliated in any way. Where is the conference being held? When is it being held? Yang Dingtian inquired. Its organized in the Cloud Heaven City, five days from today! Five days! He was close to 6,000 miles away from the Cloud Heaven City. It would be a long and difficult journey. However, five days were sufficient! He had to use the shortest route to reach the Cloud Heaven City in the least time and stop all of these from happening. If the Heaven Dao Union were to classify him as an Evil Dao infiltrator and were to issue a hunt for him all around the world, he would never be able to emancipate himself. And over 2,000 Black Blood Cavalry brothers would shed their blood and sacrifice their lives! If this were to happen, they were bound to be the Don Quixote that was charging to the windmill or the sea waves that were throwing themselves to the reef. They were doomed to die horribly and sacrifice themselves in vain. This included Ximen Lie and Madam Ximen. (TL note: Don Quixote is a Spanish novel of this knight on his adventure, and one of his adventures was him trying to fight against windmills as he thought they were giants.) Yang Dingtian would never allow any of his family members or brothers to sacrifice themselves or shed blood for him. Never! Hero Yan, were pressing for time. We shall bid our farewells. We still have to rush back and fight alongside our brothers! The Black Blood Cavalry brothers replied, If we are to survive by chance, we will definitely not refuse any errands Hero Yan is to send us. Whether its to throw our heads, shed blood, or to go up the sword mountain and down the flaming sea, all you need to do is to send us a letter! Take care! Yang Dingtian replied while shivering, In addition, convey a message to your Madam and Commander Ximen. Tell them to never give up hope. A miracle will definitely happen. Dont sacrifice in vain! Our sacrifice will not be in vain. However, we will definitely convey Hero Yans words. Goodbye. We wish for Hero Yans speedy recovery. The Black Blood Cavalry brothers spoke their words of farewell before bowing deeply. Finally, they withdrew themselves respectfully and left! ********************************* Are you leaving? Half a minute later, Ling Wu walked out and inquired softly. Yang Dingtian nodded. What about your injuries? Ling Wu continued. I will be fully healed tonight. Yang Dingtian commented. Afterward, he stood up from the wooden bucket. Ling Wu searched for his clothing before putting it on Yang Dingtian gently and delicately. Will it be dangerous? Ling Wu inquired gently. Shouldnt be. Yang Dingtian replied. Afterward, Ling Wu no longer inquired about it anymore as she tidied everything for Yang Dingtian gently. After she had finished tidying up, she spoke to Yang Dingtian, I will go and prepare the stuff you need for tomorrows departure. Sure. Yang Dingtian commented. ************************************* Yang Dingtian sat down on his bed after Ling Wu had left. Afterward, he took out half a cup of holy water from his spatial ring and drank it. In a short period, his body started to turn feverish. Afterward, warm energy started to circulate his whole body as it removed all the obstructions and clot that was caused by his injuries. Yang Dingtian circulated his mystic qi rapidly as he drove this warm energy to every location within his body. Merely an hour later, Yang Dingtians injuries had disappeared without any trace. Indeed, this holy water was truly overbearing and powerful. He truly had no idea why the secret realm contained such a formidable item that was so heaven-defying. He truly had no idea how the ancient world could actually create such formidable holy water as well as the grand and mysterious secret realm that was tens of thousands of meters deep inside the sea. At this moment, the youngling sword was beside him. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but bring it over. He infused mystic qi in and waited for its reply. This was an intimate interaction Yang Dingtian had to do with it every day. Every time, the Primal Chaos Divine Senses in the youngling sword would leap up and reply. Furthermore, it would reply with even more enthusiasm after every interaction. However, unexpectedly, the youngling sword did not have the slightest amount of reaction after the infusion this time. Immediately, Yang Dingtian was alarmed. Its unlikely that something had happened to the sword, right? That must not happen! The current youngling sword was his lifeblood. Once again, he infused his mystic qi in the sword. As before, there wasnt any response. Immediately, Yang Dingtian was very shocked. Yesterday on the sea, the youngling sword had shared a large portion of the injuries from the flame for Yang Dingtian from the final suicidal attack. Previously, every time it devoured fire attribute energies, it would cheer excitedly like a baby drinking milk. Could it be injured by the extremely formidable flame? If it were so, Yang Dingtian would really kill himself because of regret. He would rather withstand those frantic raging flames himself than to let his youngling sword do it. Master, whats wrong with my youngling sword? Yang Dingtian quickly called out to Dongfang Niemie in his mind. Chapter 196: Ling Wu’s Determination! Chapter 196: Ling Wus Determination!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Master, whats wrong with my youngling sword? Yang Dingtian called out to Dongfang Niemie inside his mind without any delay. Immediately, Dongfang Niemie awakened inside Yang Dingtians mind domain. Child, one day has passed, and I could no longer sense your existence again. What exactly happened, are you okay? Dongfang Niemie asked with concern. Although Dongfang Niemie did not interact with Yang Dingtian every day, he at least greeted him daily. Nothing. I had merely killed a one-star Martial Mystic expert. Yang Dingtian replied. You didnt use the thunder attribute mystic skill? Dongfang Niemie inquired. No! Yang Dingtian replied. Dongfang Niemie instantly gasped before replying, Child, you are really impressive. Thats right. With Yang Dingtians current cultivation, it was really heaven-defying for him to be able to kill a one-star Martial Mystic expert without using any mystic skills, including the thunder attribute mystic skills. Yang Dingtian replied sadly, Master, thats nothing impressive. Actually, it was my youngling sword that had helped me to block off the enemys fatal attack. Otherwise, I would have died long ago. Whats going on? Dongfang Niemie inquired with an alarmed tone. Yang Dingtian narrated the great battle in detail while Dongfang Niemie was inwardly shocked by it. After Yang Dingtian had finished narrating the battle, he continued, Master, a moment ago when I had infused mystic qi into my youngling sword, it didnt have any reaction. Quickly help me take a look at it to see if anything has gone wrong. Yesterday, it helped me to block the majority of the damage from the final suicidal attack by Qin Huaiju. Nothing must happen to it. Haha. There shouldnt be any problem with it. Dongfang Niemie replied, According to your youngling swords aptitude, energy from a mere Martial Mystic rank expert wouldnt be able to damage it. I will have a look at it immediately for your sake... Subsequently, Dongfang Niemie infused his divine senses into the youngling sword, as he investigated in detail. A few minutes later, Dongfang Niemie smiled, Be at ease. Nothing had happened to it. It is just sleeping. Sleeping? Yang Dingtian asked in astonishment. Thats right, sleeping. Just like all babies, its asleep after eating. Only then could it grow its body. Dongfang Niemie replied, Its appetite is very big. In the past, it couldnt fill its stomach. Therefore, it had always been awake. This time, it had finally eaten to fill its stomach and could have a good sleep. It would grow a little stronger once it awakens from sleep. A youngling sword that can grow is truly unseen and unheard of. Xiao Tian, the speed at which you are cultivating, your sword will startle everyone. It will definitely be at a speed which had never been seen in the past thousand years. Furthermore, your soul sword would ultimately become so formidable to the point that it is unimaginable by others. (TL NOTE:- Yang Dingtian is referred to as Xiao Tian. It is an intimate way of calling someone, like Little Tian.) Indeed, Dongfang Niemie had never seen such a heaven-defying sword like Yang Dingtians youngling sword. Definitely. Yang Dingtian replied determinedly. He had always expressed himself as a child in front of his master. Oh, right, master. Yang Dingtian continued, Why other youngling swords didnt possess any divine senses while my youngling sword actually does? Not only do other peoples youngling swords dont possess any divine sense, but their soul sword would also only possess their own divine sense a few years after they had been fully forged. Dongfang Niemie continued, Your youngling sword possesses its own divine sense from the start. I believe this is somewhat related to the tens of thousands of years old blood black gold because ordinary blood black gold is only hundreds of years old. At best, they would be thousands of years old and have yet to sprout mystic qi. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of years old blood black gold already possessed their own soul spirit. Although the soul spirit was extremely weak and pure, it was already close to a living object. Therefore, youngling swords that are forged from tens of thousands of years old blood black gold would possess divine sense. The reason why this divine sense is so intimate with you was that you had ultimately sprinkled your blood on the sword, and the blood had penetrated deeply into every inch of the youngling sword. In other words, if the youngling sword had its own blood, the blood flowing through its body would be your blood. Therefore, it is interlinked with your meridians. The moment it was born, it had an intimate relationship that couldnt be severed. I understand! Yang Dingtian replied. Afterward, he looked towards his youngling sword that was in his embrace. Immediately, he felt that it had grown even cuter and was extremely silly looking. After Yang Dingtian had been reassured, he continued to hug his youngling sword and circulated the mystic qi breathing cycle. Although the battle mystic qi during the night contained more impurities, he didnt have the time to be bothered by it. Early in the morning tomorrow, he would have to depart for the Cloud Heaven City. For him to journey safely, he had to be at his most optimal state. As to when his youngling sword would wake up, it didnt really matter to him as long as it was fine. Of course, it would be best if it could wake up as soon as possible because there would be times when Yang Dingtian would need its help. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian was filled with anticipation towards its next performance after it awakened! ********************************** After three hours of the mystic qi breathing cycle, Yang Dingtian had fully charged his qi vessel and mystic meridians. And with the several high-grade mystic assembly elixirs inside his spatial ring, it would be sufficient for him to use if he were to come across any accidents. Currently, there were still four more hours before daybreak. He grabbed hold of the final moment to sleep. The current Yang Dingtian no longer needed too much sleep, but after his body had suffered from injuries and had just fully recovered from the great battle a moment ago, it would be best for him to have sufficient rest. After which, Yang Dingtian laid down onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep while hugging onto his youngling sword. After he had fallen asleep for a few minutes, he was suddenly alerted. Because he heard footsteps, immediately, he felt his entire bodys hair raising up. He grabbed onto his youngling sword tightly and was prepared to battle at any time. But very quickly, he had loosened up. Because these footsteps were very familiar, and along with the similarity, there was also a unique and delicate fragrance. It was Ling Wu. She had secretly snuck into Yang Dingtians room. s?a??h th? N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian was somewhat incapable of resisting this sexy, brazen, emotional, and cute woman. To prevent himself from being awkward, he quickly pretended that he was asleep in hopes that this woman wouldnt do anything foolish and was just here to take a look before leaving. However, his hope was quickly destroyed. Ling Wu directly sat beside him and was staring at his face, motionlessly. Very quickly, Yang Dingtian became very unnatural. Although he still had his eyes shut, his eyelids kept on trembling. Often, Yang Dingtians mental essence could only be counted as ordinary and wouldnt be able to keep his calm. Yang Dingtian, I know that you arent asleep. Stop acting. Ling Wu spoke out. Yang Dingtian could only open up his eyes and respond, Young Lady Ling Wu, why are you here? Are you here to bid farewell to me? Ling Wu stared at Yang Dingtian boldly and replied, Nope. You clearly know why Ive come. Yang Dingtian couldnt stop her speech. He opened up his mouth and wanted to reply. Unexpectedly, it was covered by Ling Wus small hands, Dont talk. I know what you want to say. I have heard it countless times. Subsequently, Ling Wu continued, Next, I will speak, and you will listen! Yang Dingtian nodded his head with a complicated expression. Ling Wu commented, I know. You love your wife, and you owe her a lot. Therefore, you wouldnt dare to do anything that would let her down. Yang Dingtian nodded his head hurriedly. Ling Wu continued, You can be at ease. Although I really love you, I wouldnt need you to bear any responsibility and wouldnt marry into your family. I will never fight over you with your wife, and your wife will never learn about what is going to happen next. You can even treat all of it as a dream. She was really straightforward and bold. Im really touched. Who wouldnt be touched when facing a woman like you? Yang Dingtian gasped for breath and continued, But it is also because of this, I have to be responsible for you. You and I are destined to never be together for this life. You still have to marry someone else. I hope you can give a complete you to your future husband. Otherwise, you will be hurt. This world isnt that tolerant towards women. Idiot... Ling Wu replied delicately, Do you really think I would still marry someone else? Do you think that my heart could still contain another person? Although Im very ordinary, Im still proud and arrogant. Otherwise, I would have married off to someone else long ago. Who will be able to tell what is going to happen in the future? Yang Dingtian sighed. Some people were faithful unto death in relationships, but it was extremely rare. Thats right. Who will be able to tell what is going to happen in the future and who would be able to know a persons state of mind in the future. Ling Wu looked at Yang Dingtian with her beautiful eyes, I dont know what is going to happen in the future. But at the very least, for now, I feel that I will not fall in love with any other man. This time, I have fallen for a man, and it is already extremely tiring for me. Therefore, I will never wish to experience it for a second time. Yang Dingtian replied, Perhaps, your second time wouldnt be so tiring. Instead, it might be extremely sweet... Listen to everything I have to say... Ling Wu stopped Yang Dingtian once again. You are destined to travel far away while Im foreordained to stay here for life. At the start, Im accompanying my father. In the future, I would be accompanying everyone on this island. Im the only one on this island whose martial art is somewhat outstanding. I would have to protect them. Therefore, I know that nothing will bear fruit between us. As for me, I will not marry others in the future as well. There will never be a second you who would appear on this island, and there wouldnt be so many unforgettable events. Yang Dingtian, I will never urge you to stay if you wish to leave. What I want is just a child. Ling Wu spoke while full of longing, It can be a boy or a girl. But it would be better if its a son. Be at ease. I will never bring him on a trip to search for you. I will nurture him. In the future, I will let him inherit Inferno Island. Since his dad is so outstanding, he will certainly be very outstanding as well. Yang Dingtian, there are a lot of women on the sea who are in the same situation. Ling Wu continued, A lot of women are not willing to get married. They are willing to live such a carefree life without worries. Therefore, they would look for the most outstanding man and give birth to a child as they nurture them alone. I love you. Therefore, I must attain my objective. Ling Wu spoke decisively. The eyes she looked at Yang Dingtian with, were filled with determination. Yang Dingtian stared at her for a long time. After which, he shook his head, No! Ling Wu was stunned. Her delicate body trembled as her tears poured out turbulently. Suddenly, she seized Yang Dingtians treasure sword over and hung it on her neck, Yang Dingtian, you can reject me. However, I will die before you. Of course, your martial art is higher than me and will be able to snatch away the sword on my hand easily. However, you are leaving tomorrow. How are you going to snatch away the sword in my hand then? Yang Dingtian was completely speechless. He had never met such a determined and decisive woman before. Momentarily, he was at a complete loss for what to do. Chapter 197: Running Bride,At Cloud Heaven City! Chapter 197: Running BrideAt Cloud Heaven City!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian was truly at his wits end. The current Ling Wu was completely on the verge of collapse. As it turned out, her earlier determination was mainly pretentious. She was still a woman after all, and she was a beautiful woman that was rarely seen. She was also the honorable young lady of Inferno Island and the dream lover for many men on the island. It was natural for her to be reserved and prideful. But, she was truly powerless against Yang Dingtian. Hence, she went to seek advice from the women of the island, and those women taught her this method. They said that this method was tested and proven. But Yang Dingtian ultimately refused. It had nearly crumbled her pride and willpower, thus the reason for placing the sword on her neck. Yang Dingtian knew this was troublesome, and he had to say something to mediate this situation, or else, it might really become a tragic ending. Taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian replied seriously, It isnt like this, Ling Wu. You are an extraordinary woman. If I agree to your request so recklessly, I will be irresponsible to both parties. But, I am not that inflexible either, and I feel that we both need time to baptize each other. A few years later, if you heard that I didnt perish in the battle against Dongfang Bingling and you have yet to marry another man. When that time comes, if you are still willing, you can come and look for me, okay? But lets not let such things happen between us so easily; otherwise, I will be carrying a deep burden. Are you speaking the truth? Ling Wu spoke with an ecstatic tone. It is the truth. Yang Dingtian responded. Alright, then. But you need to put down advance payment. Ling Wu said and immediately leaped over with a kiss. All of a sudden, Yang Dingtians lips felt a slight pain as he was bit down ruthlessly by Ling Wu. It was truly painful, and fresh blood rushed forth immediately. I bit you so that you will not forget about me in the future. When Ling Wu saw Yang Dingtians lips with blood, her eyes instantly flowed out with tears due to the pain in her heart. She trembled as she said, The more painful the bite, the deeper the memory. Immediately after, Ling Wu reached out her petite hand and rubbed the surface of the scar and the blood on it. As Ling Wu gently let go of Yang Dingtian, she said in a tender voice, I am leaving. Otherwise, I am worried that you will regret what you said earlier. Afterward, Ling Wu left step by step with reluctance. I am leaving. When you are departing tomorrow, I shall not see you off. Ling Wu spoke with a gentle voice, and her beautiful eyes revealed limitless sentiments as though she was trying to remember Yang Dingtians face deeply before she turned and left. Yang Dingtian was instantly disconcerted and suddenly felt at a loss! *********************************** The next day before daybreak, Yang Dingtian had already gotten up from the bed. Of course, he didnt sleep at all as it was impossible for him to sleep. He wore his mask and concealed his youngling sword before retrieving another treasure sword. He enveloped himself in a black cloak, and while there were still remnants of the night, he was escorted by Ling Zhong alone. He then boarded a small boat and departed from Inferno Island. Ling Wu stayed true to her words and didnt see him off. Nephew Yan, I dont care who you are. You just have to remember that no matter what, Inferno Island is your home. Ling Zhong had been silent along the way, and when Yang Dingtian was about to board the boat, he suddenly spoke. I will remember. Yang Dingtian said, I will always remember Inferno Island. I will always remember you and Young Lady Ling Wu. Afterward, Yang Dingtian leaped onto the boat and paddled gently and gradually left Inferno Island and towards the Northwest Continent. Just as he was a few hundred meters away from Inferno Island, there was a charming figure that ran over from the island rapidly. It was Ling Wu, and she was actually wearing a fiery red long dress, a dress that she had never worn before. She was lifting her long dress and running on the pier as she yelled out, Yan Nantian, I know that you were lying to me yesterday, but I treated it as the truth. I am wearing a fiery red wedding gown right now. You better remember that I have married you, Yan Nantian yesterday, and you have also agreed personally. You better remember that from today onwards, I am a woman of yours, Yan Nantian! Yang Dingtian was utterly shocked! He truly didnt expect that Ling Wu would actually use such a trick. She actually wore a fiery red wedding gown to send him off and to express her final resolution. When Yang Dingtian said those things yesterday night, he was truly trying to delay time. But he didnt expect that he had fallen into this shrewish womans plot. Yang Dingtians heart was instantly overwhelmed with emotions. He didnt say half a word and desperately rowed the boat. Ling Wu continued to lift her dress and run desperately, but she was getting further away from Yang Dingtian. Finally, when she was running, she was howling and wailing too. She was trying her best to grasp, but her most beloved person was still getting further and further. Finally, he vanished into the remnants of the night and into the mist that appeared before dawn! Her delicate body couldnt take it anymore, and her legs went soft. She sat on the muddy ground and wailed miserably, while her beautiful bright red wedding gown was stained by mud. ***************************************** When it was daybreak, Yang Dingtian had already arrived on the shore of the Northwest Continent. He bought a fast horse and traveled through day and night for long hours, rushing to cross over 6,000 miles to reach the Cloud Heaven City. He wanted to rescue Madam Ximen, Ximen Lie, over 2,000 brothers of the Black Blood Cavalry. He wasnt going to allow them to become moths flying into the flame. He wanted to restore his reputation that was nearly destroyed, and he wanted to save the qualification to contest for the City Lord position of the Cloud Heaven City that he was about to lose. He wanted to save everything! From the hands of the despicable enemies, from the hands of the pretentious enemies. *********************************** During these few days, the air around Cloud Heaven City seemed to have congealed. It felt as though countless dark clouds were accumulating and were preparing a giant thunderbolt that was going to destroy heaven and earth. Many people had noticed that the missing Black Blood Cavalry had gradually returned one after the other. Subsequently, they stood at the plaza in front of Cloud Heaven City. They didnt do anything, and when they arrived, they dismounted their horses and sat quietly beside their horses. Afterward, more and more of them arrived. Finally, more than 2,000 Black Blood Cavalry brothers had occupied half of the plaza in front of Cloud Heaven City. At this instant, there was a black mass at the plaza in front of Cloud Heaven City. They didnt say anything, and their faces were filled with utter determination and the unfeeling expression that was ready for death. They were concealing the soaring killing qi and flames in their hearts, while they had the determination of moths wanting to fly into the fire. Immediately after, Ximen Lie had arrived! So did Madam Ximen! Everyone in the Cloud Heaven City instantly felt a suffocating sensation! But, Ximen Nu didnt react; neither did Yang Yan! Shortly after, the thousands of cavalry troops of the Heaven Dao Unions Northwest Branch departed from Cloud Heaven City and finally stopped at the plaza in front of the Cloud Heaven City gates too. They were all wielding golden armor and giant swords. The Heaven Dao Unions golden cavalry army stood on the left with 3,000 men. S?a?ch* Th? N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The Black Blood Cavalrys black cavalry army stood on the right with 2,000 men. The black and gold colors stood there silently while looking at each other coldly. They were ready to draw their giant swords at any time and ready for combat! *************************************** Everyone in the Cloud Heaven City felt an extremely stifling qi presence. They didnt dare to talk loudly or walk forcefully. They felt that a single commotion would immediately ignite this barrel of explosives and cause a giant explosion. On the fifth and final day... Qin Huaiyu appeared and brought along 3,000 Qin Clans cavalry soldiers. He marched into the Cloud Heaven City majestically and silently ascended the city walls. His soldiers then silently opened up the giant crossbows and aimed at the Black Blood Cavalry below. After that, the members of the Heaven Dao Union arrived at Cloud Heaven City in succession. When they walked past Madam Ximen and Ximen Lie, they merely took an indifferent glance without saying a thing and left them behind without hesitation. Every one of them led around a hundred warriors and entered the Cloud Heaven City. When the sun was up, Ximen Nu led close to 1,000 cavalry soldiers and appeared outside the Cloud Heaven City. They were positioned behind the Black Blood Cavalry and had obstructed their path of retreat. After 8 to 9 am, another one of the Northwest Clans infantry appeared outside the Cloud Heaven City and had sealed off all the passages on the Cloud Heaven Mountain. At this moment, over 2,000 brothers from the Black Blood Cavalry had been surrounded by 10,000 men without a route of retreat. If a battle started, they would definitely be like moths flying into the fire! ************************************* At noontime, in the tallest castle of the Cloud Heaven City, the Heaven Dao Unions Northwest Conference had officially started. All 39 members of the Heaven Dao Unions Northwest Branch had turned out in full strength. The result of the conference would decide the final fate for Yang Dingtian, for the Black Blood Cavalry, for Madam Ximen, and for Ximen Lie. Yang Dingtian had to seize the essential third rank of Pig Slaying Sword Art from this group of wolves in Cloud Heaven City. ************************************ Right now, Yang Dingtian was still 50 miles away from Cloud Heaven City! He was covered in dirt and leaning onto the horse while galloping towards Cloud Heaven City like a madman. In less than five days, he had traversed over 6,000 miles on a horse. Hopefully, he wasnt going to be late! ******************************************** In view of the trial by the duel between Yang Dingtian and Qin Shaobai. Yang Dingtian had used the Evil Soul Art, and there is a bulk of the evidence. Before the duel, Yang Dingtian had made a trip to the Land of Chaos, and there were traces of proof that he was heading towards the Temple of Ten Thousand Blood. Yang Yan said loudly, Hence, we have sufficient justification for believing that Yang Dingtian has already joined the Evil Dao and is a traitor of the Heaven Dao Union. Yang Yan, you are simply slandering! Madam Ximen abruptly stood up and yelled, What evidence do you have to prove that Yang Dingtian attacked Qin Shaobai with the Evil Soul Art? Yang Yan said indifferently, I would have to ask Madam Ximen. Back then, Yang Dingtians cultivation was one class and eleven stages inferior to Qin Shaobai and was still able to defeat him. Has there been such a case in the history of a thousand years? Thats right; there is such an example. It was over two hundred years when Li Tianxiao had battled against the Third Young Master Qin in the past. Li Tianxiao had also defeated an opponent that was one class and more than ten stages superior to him. But finally, the facts had proven that Li Tianxiao was a spy from the Evil Dao, and he had used the Evil Soul Art. Li Tianxiao had done so, so did Yang Dingtian. Madam Ximen sneered and said, Did you not hear what Yang Dingtian said? He didnt use the Evil Soul Art and had released his sword soul! This is the most ridiculous excuse in the world! Yang Yan interrupted with a cold voice. How many individuals in this world were able to cultivate a sword soul? Merely three. Sect Patriarch Dongfang, City Lord Ximen, and the Hidden Sect Patriarch. No one knows where Sect Patriarch Dongfang is now, and City Lord Ximen has already perished, while the Hidden Sect Patriarch had been in seclusion for a century. I heard that no one had cultivated another sword soul in this world? How old is Yang Dingtian? What cultivation class is he? He used a sword soul to defeat Qin Shaobai? Madam Ximen, are you treating everyone here as idiots? Once Yang Yan said this, everyone present immediately scoffed. If Yang Dingtian used a youngling sword to defeat Qin Shaobai, it would mean that the twin suns must have risen in the west and set in the east. Yang Yan spoke resolutely and decisively, Thus, Yang Dingtian must have used the Evil Soul Art to defeat Qin Shaobai! In this world, only the Evil Soul Art would have such power. Hence, Yang Dingtian must be a spy from the Evil Dao. There is no doubt at all! Chapter 198: Kneeling to Young Lord Wu Ming! Chapter 198: Kneeling to Young Lord Wu Ming!Evidence! Will Grand Elder Yang Yan bring out the evidence. Ximen Lie said coldly, as he was one of the members of the conference. Evidence? Yang Yan burst into laughter and said, Does it mean that we cannot punish Yang Dingtian without evidence? Do we have to wait until Yang Dingtian becomes like Li Tianxiao? Or do we have to decide his punishment after hundreds of thousands of Heaven Dao Union members have suffered? Who will bear the responsibility? Do you, Ximen Lie, think you can assume the responsibility? At this moment, a beautiful woman spoke indifferently, My Sky Phoenix Pavilion is situated in the Southwest Continent. I didnt wish to make a speech at this conference, but because I have been advocating for the north and south to merge, hence, I shall be so bold to say something. In regards to if Yang Dingtian is an infiltrator of Evil Dao, I wouldnt know because I wasnt present during the incident. But I know that in recent months, there has been a group of pirates that have been plundering, killing, violating women, and doing all sorts of evil things at sea along the Northwest Continent. Even my Sky Phoenix Pavilions disciple, Ning Rouer, had been assaulted by these pirates on her ship. It was fortunate that she was rescued; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. Afterward, I found out that this band of pirates actually originated from the Black Blood Cavalry. At this instant, Ximen Lies lungs were about to explode. He truly didnt think there would be such despicable things and people in this world. That beauty from the Sky Phoenix Pavilion ignored Ximen Lie and sneered as she took out a stack of things and said, I have reports from a large number of victims and also the portrait of the pirate chief. Will everyone take a look at who this person is? Immediately after, the woman from the Sky Phoenix Pavilion opened up the portrait. The person in the portrait had subtle evil qi along with his elegant appearance. This person truly looked like Yang Dingtian, but his bearing wasnt Yang Dingtians bearing as Yang Dingtian wasnt so sinister. Thats right. This person is Yang Dingtian! Yang Yan yelled out, To right the wrongs and to serve justice to the innocent victims, I propose for the Heaven Dao Union to immediately issue an order for the pursuit of Yang Dingtian to the world! No matter who or what faction, as long as they see Yang Dingtian, they should be allowed to execute him unconditionally. The apprehender will obtain special merit from the Heaven Dao Union. Ximen Lie instantly scoffed and said, Grand Elder Yang Yan, arent you the one that knows the most about those pirates, more than anyone else? Ximen Lie, what do you mean? Yang Yan spoke in a cold voice, Have you been driven into desperation? You are the one who has been driven into desperation. You are worried about Young Lord Yang Dingtians rapid progress and worried that you would be utterly defeated in the Cloud Heaven City Lords Martial Contest that will be held a few months. Thus, despite your reputation on the line, you disregard your sense of honor and smear the dirty facts onto Young Lord Yang Dingtian and want to exterminate him. Ximen Lie spoke indifferently. Ximen Lie, how dare you! Yang Yan instantly roared with rage. Enough. The host of the conference, Qin Wanshan, spoke insipidly, This isnt the auction. Do not shout your words of abuse here. In regards to the proposal from the Cloud Heaven Citys Yang Yan. Are there any other opinions? Suddenly, there was nothing but silence. Then, I shall speak of my opinion. Qin Huaiyu said indifferently, According to Grand Elders words, it is highly possible that Yang Dingtain is an infiltrator from the Evil Dao and might bring grave danger to the Heaven Dao Union. Hence, he must not be left alone. But there is no concrete evidence. It might be a little sloppy to immediately declare that Yang Dingtian is an infiltrator of the Evil Dao and issue the order for the pursuit. Thus, I am suggesting to use the name of the Heaven Dao Union to issue an arrest warrant on Yang Dingtian. No matter who or what faction, as long as they see Yang Dingtian, they are allowed to arrest him immediately. If he puts on a resistance, he shall be killed without negotiation. Grand Elder Yang Yan asked, Then will Yang Dingtian still be qualified to participate in the Martial Contest for the City Lords position next year? Qin Wanshan said, Until Yang Dingtian can prove his innocence, he shall not have the right to participate. Alright, we will make the final decision by vote. Qin Wanshan said, Those that agree to Qin Huaiyus proposal to issue the arrest warrant on Yang Dingtian and also to cancel his participation rights to the Martial Contest for the Cloud Heaven City Lords position, please put your weapon on the table. Instantly, everyone present started to put their weapons on the table. S?a??h the N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Yan and Madam Ximen were considered the parties that were involved, hence, they didnt have the right to make a vote. The final verdict was out. Apart from the parties that were present, everyone agreed to Qin Huaiyus proposal. Then it shall be decided. Qin Wanshan said coldly, Immediately announce to the world and declare Yang Dingtian as a suspect of being an infiltrator from the Evil Dao and immediately conduct a worldwide arrest warrant. Anyone in the world or any faction shall put in their full effort to arrest him on sight. If there is any resistance, he shall be killed without negotiation. At the same time, Yang Dingtians participation rights for next years martial contest to decide Cloud Heaven City Lord shall be canceled. Hahahaha... All of a sudden, Ximen Lie burst out in laughter, and his laughter was filled with mockery and impudence. Ximen Lie, what are you laughing about? Qin Wanshan yelled sternly, Are you looking down on the authority of the Heaven Dao Union? Ximen Lie sneered and said, I have never seen such a shameless scene in my life. It is truly an eye-opener for me today. Qin Wanshan said in a cold voice, The decree from the Heaven Dao Union is sacred and must not be violated. Are you going to disobey? Ximen Lie immediately grasped the giant sword in his hand and walked outside while saying, We will use our blood to uphold our remaining honor. Qin Wanshans face turned cold, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. You are seeking your own destruction. It is better than being a coward. Ximen Lie replied. Subsequently, he and Madam Ximen walked out and into the military formation of the Black Blood Cavalry before abruptly drawing their longswords. Ximen Lie is leading the Black Blood Cavalry and requesting for the Heaven Dao Union to change the decree. Otherwise, we will use our weapons to conduct a blood remonstration! Hu... Instantly, all of the Black Blood Cavalry soldiers stood up. Swish... All of the Black Blood Cavalry soldiers drew their swords and instantly turned into a forest of sharp swords. Ximen Lie, are you revolting against the Heaven Dao Union? Qin Wanshan shouted sternly, In regards to all who revolt, the Heaven Dao Union has the authority to decimate them. I will count to ten. All of you will immediately throw the weapons in your hands and kneel on the ground while waiting for punishment. Otherwise, all shall be killed without mercy! Ximen Lie had an unyielding expression as he shouted indifferently, We request for the Heaven Dao Union to withdraw the unreasonable decree! Finishing his words, Ximen Lie took a step forward. Over 2,000 Black Blood Cavalry soldiers behind him, wielded their giant swords and took one step forward as well. They were like a black tide and brought about an immense pressure. Ten... Nine... Eight... As Qin Wanshan was counting down, Ximen Lie led his black tide-like Black Blood Cavalry and marched forward step by step. They approached the city gate step by step, and Ximen Lie was right at the front. Five... We request for the Heaven Dao Union to withdraw the decree! Otherwise, our Black Blood Cavalry shall use our weapons to conduct a blood remonstration! Four... Ximen Lie led his Black Blood Cavalry and didnt show any signs of retreat as they continued to press on. At this moment, Qin Wanshan and Yang Yans face revealed cruel sneers. All Heaven Dao Unions army! Get ready to suppress the rebels! Clang... There was an orderly sound of weapons being drawn. The soldiers on the city walls had drawn their sharp swords and prepared the giant crossbows. The Northwest Qin Clans thousands of cavalry soldiers immediately mounted their horses and drew their weapons. The Northwest Qin Clans thousands of infantry soldiers immediately pulled down their iron masks and drew their weapons. The Heaven Dao Unions Northwest Branchs cavalry drew their weapons. The 1,000 cavalry soldiers led by Ximen Nu drew their weapons. The army that surrounded the Black Blood Cavalry had all drawn their weapons. As soon as Qin Wanshan would issue the order, a great battle would erupt. Ten thousand soldiers would go against the Black Blood Cavalry, conducting a final massacre. Three... Two... One! In an instant, Yang Yan, Tang Bozhao, and the others had an extremely sinister and pleased expression. Ximen Lie, you are seeking your own destruction as expected! Slaughter the rebels! Qin Wanshan issued the command. Boom... An army of 10,000 soldiers rushed at the Black Blood Cavalry like a tide. The great battle was instantly going to erupt. Over 2,000 Black Blood Cavalry was about to be engulfed. *** Stop! Suddenly, the air had this distinct and cold voice. Immediately after, a figure that was fairer than snow had landed softly on the plaza of the Cloud Heaven City. Yang Dingtian disguised himself as the Hidden Sect disciple, Wu Ming, and had finally arrived. But the battle had already begun, and the massacre had started as fresh blood was splattered violently! Stop... Yang Dingtian said in a cold voice, If no one stops, both parties shall be guilty! Everyone present shall be executed! Instantly, Qin Huaiyu, Qin Wanshan, Yang Yan, and the others who were on the city gates all had a change in expressions. Stop! Qin Wanshan roared loudly. Afterward, he abruptly jumped off from the city walls and bowed down with extreme respect. Northwest Qin Citys Qin Wanshan pays his respects to Young Lord Wu Ming. At the same moment, everyone on the city walls had leaped off one after the other and bowed down respectfully too. Heaven Dao Unions Northwest Branch pays our respects to Young Lord Wu Ming. Ximen Lies body trembled as he plunged his giant sword into the ground abruptly and bowed down. Cloud Heaven Citys Ximen Lie pays his respects to Young Lord Wu Ming. We pay our respects to Young Lord Wu Ming! All the Black Blood Cavalry knelt on a single knee uniformly. We pay our respects to Young Lord Wu Ming. Ten thousand soldiers from the joint army of the Northwest Qin Clan and the Heaven Dao Union had knelt on the ground in unison and greeted with respect. This was the might of the Hidden Sect! Once a Hidden Sect disciple was to walk the earth, no matter who the person was, that person would become the absolute leader of the Heaven Dao Union. At this moment, everyone was bowing, and only Yang Dingtian was standing. He was handsome and refined, as the wind blew onto him, he looked just like an immortal. But the current him had an icy cold expression and didnt have a hint of a smile. He ignored everyones greetings and immediately walked towards the Cloud Heaven City. When walking past all the influential figures of the Heaven Dao Unions Northwest Branch, Yang Dingtian said indifferently, Follow me. Immediately after, everyone followed behind Yang Dingtian and walked into the Cloud Heaven City. ************************ Back into the conference room again. Yang Dingtian didnt pass the authority to anyone and sat at the highest position at the center. He then overlooked everyone and asked indifferently, Yang Yan, you say that Yang Dingtian is an infiltrator from the Evil Dao? Yes! Yang Yan bowed and replied. Where is the evidence? Yang Dingtian asked without showing interest. Yang Yans eyes shuddered for a moment as he gritted his teeth and said, Yang Dingtians cultivation is one class and more than ten stages below Qin Shaobai. But he was still able to defeat him and take his life. In this world, only the Evil Soul Art can do it. Furthermore, the situation was nearly identical to the duel that involved Li Tianxiao that happened over two centuries ago. Yang Dingtian didnt bother about what Yang Yan said and continued to ask without interest, Where is the evidence? Chapter 199: Emphatic Chiding, Soaring Arrogance! Chapter 199: Emphatic Chiding, Soaring Arrogance!When Yang Yan heard Yang Dingtian asked for the evidence again, his face instantly changed as he said, Young Lord Wu Ming. Two hundred years ago, Li Tianxiao nearly destroyed the entire Heaven Dao Union. After experiencing such a painful lesson, I felt that such a special situation should be dealt with specially. There is no need for evidence for Yang Dingtians case, and he should be dealt with immediately. Immediately after, Yang Yan carried on and said, Furthermore, the Heaven Dao Unions Northwest Conference has already made the decision by vote. If Yang Dingtian were truly a disciple of the Hidden Sect, then Yang Yans behavior was truly disrespectful. What he meant from his words was that they have already made the decision, and there was no need for you, Wu Ming, to meddle in it. From the tone of his voice, they actually treated the members of the Hidden Sects as Bodhisattva on the stage. They were respectful on the surface, but they were actually opposing in secret. Furthermore, when Yang Yan was so disrespectful to a member of the Hidden Sect, no one present had shown any objection. It was evident that after the Hidden Sect had secluded themselves for two centuries, everyones hearts were filled with doubt and reluctance. They might seem to still view the Hidden Sect members as the leader of the Heaven Dao Union, but not so when it was involved with their own interests. Yang Dingtian had instantly fallen into a dangerous situation, and his eyes immediately shrunk a little. I have two matters to attend to for my trip. Firstly, it is about the disappearance of the entire Maori Barbarian Tribe. The Maori Barbarian Tribe, which occupied the entire Icebound Continent, had more than ten million members, but they have vanished completely from the world. This is an omen. Hence, all of you are to send out large numbers of men to investigate this matter. Yang Dingtian didnt continue the dispute with Yang Yan and changed his topic. Yes, Young Lord Wu Ming. Everyone responded in unison. As long as it was a matter than didnt infringe their interests, they were very willing to express their respect and obedience to the Hidden Sect. Secondly, it is about Evil Daos infiltrator that is in the Heaven Dao Union. Yang Dingtian said indifferently. Once this statement was out, Yang Yans expression immediately lit up with excitement. It seemed like this Young Lord Wu Ming was also supporting them. Ximen Lie and Madam Ximens expression had instantly turned dark and were infuriated. So it turned out that the disciple of the Hidden Sect was also as pragmatic and ridiculous. But from the information I have, the Evil Dao infiltrators arent the Cloud Heaven City but another more illustrated faction. Yang Dingtian spoke indifferently, I shall not name them out here, but I will look for those people involved to discuss it. Once these words were out, everyone present had an instant change in expression. As for Yang Dingtian, I heard about him, but I do not know him well. Yang Dingtian then said, But, in regards to the matter of him being an Evil Dao infiltrator and to issue an arrest warrant of him to the world. It shall not be approved. I will deny it! Once these words were out, everyone instantly exclaimed. Young Lord Wu Ming, please reconsider. This is a decision made by everyone in the Heaven Dao Unions Northwest Branch. Yang Yan immediately said with a cold tone. When Yang Yan spoke, he was revealing a trace of threat. This is an order. You can choose to obey or to disobey. Yang Dingtian said indifferently. Immediately, everyones faces revealed struggle and wrath. They truly wanted to overturn the table and say, You god damn Wu Ming, how dare you issue an order to us? They wanted to do it, but they didnt dare. Who wants to disobey the order? Say it now... Right now, it was Yang Dingtian who revealed a smile, and he was glancing at everyone leisurely. Yang Dingtian was betting that no one would dare to speak out, no one would dare to take the risk. For my order in regards to Yang Dingtian, does anyone have an opinion? Yang Dingtian said insipidly. S?a?ch* Th? N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Even though Yang Yan was reluctant, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and lower his head. I shall obey. We shall obey... Everyone responded in unison. Alright, then. Yang Dingtian then said, Then, the arrest warrant for Yang Dingtian shall be canceled. Yang Yan quickly asked, Young Lord Wu Ming, what about Yang Dingtians participation rights to the martial contest for next years Cloud Heaven City Lords position? Yang Dingtian said with a dull voice, That is the Cloud Heaven Citys internal affairs and isnt the scope of discussion in the Heaven Dao Unions conference. Hence, all those who arent from the Cloud Heaven City are to be dismissed. Yes! A few dozen people in the hall apart from the members of the Cloud Heaven City had left, including Qin Wanshan and Qin Huaiyu. Northwest Qin Citys members stay behind. Yang Dingtian suddenly spoke. Qin Wanshan and Qin Huaiyu immediately stopped and stayed behind. *************************************** At this moment, the main hall was only left with Yang Dingtian, Madam Ximen, Ximen Lie, Yang Yan, Tang Bozhao, Qin Wanshan, Qin Huaiyu, and others. In regards to the matter if Yang Dingtian is still qualified to participate in next years martial contest to decide the City Lord. It is the Cloud Heaven Citys internal affairs, and not even me can interfere. Yang Dingtian then said, But if it involves the splitting of the Cloud Heaven City, I will have the authority to be involved. In an instant, Yang Dingtians expression got stern as he said, As a member of the Heaven Dao Union, why are all of you trying to split up the Cloud Heaven City and have a civil war? Ximen Lie quickly said, Young Lord Wu Ming, please listen to what I have to say, it is because of Yang Yan and the others... I am not going to listen... Yang Dingtian immediately interrupted Ximen Lie and said indifferently, My most important matter for this trip is to investigate the disappearance of the Maori Barbarian Tribe. I am not here to be the judge for your Cloud Heaven City. I am not here to determine who is right or who is wrong. Yes... Ximen Lie immediately stepped down and lowered his head. Yang Yans expression relaxed in an instant. As long as Wu Ming was biased and leaned to the other side, he had nothing to worry about. Our Hidden Sect never interferes with the internal affairs of any faction in the Heaven Union Dao; I am not an exception too. I do not care who or what is involved. As long as it doesnt involve the Evil Dao, I will not bother. Yang Dingtian said with an insipid tone, Your own matters will be settled with your own weapons. Yang Dingtians words were very straightforward. After hearing Yang Dingtians words, Yang Yan, Ximen Lie, and the others were even more certain of Wu Mings identity as the Hidden Sects member. The members of the Hidden Sect were all so overbearing and so straightforward. Alright then, I do have opinions. Yang Dingtian said coldly, They are mere opinions and not orders. It is up to you if you wish to accept it or not. For my first opinion, the Black Blood Cavalry has been drifting outside, and it isnt a good thing. Furthermore, they have been drifting in the Heaven Dao Unions territory and would only cause more disturbance. I have already heard about many of the outrageous matters that are revolved around the Black Blood Cavalry. Ximen Lie said, Young Lord Wu Ming, someone is framing us. Yang Dingtians voice instantly turned cold, Do you think I care about all these? Once Yang Dingtian spoke, Ximen Lie was instantly speechless. Yang Dingtian carried on and said, Hence, Ximen Lie, you will bring the Black Blood Cavalry back to your Black Blood Castle. I dont care whose faction is garrisoned inside the Black Blood Castle right now. All of those people will get out, and none shall stay behind. Once this statement was out, Qin Wanshan and Yang Yans expressions had drastically changed. On the other hand, Ximen Lie and Madam Ximen had a pleasantly surprised expression for a moment. But... Yang Dingtian continued, For next years martial contest for the City Lord position; if Yang Dingtian is defeated, he will not be able to inherit the City Lords position. Then Ximen Lie, you must hand over the Black Blood Cavalry and the Black Blood Castle as a whole. You, Madam Ximen, Yang Dingtian, your entire faction is to be evicted from the Cloud Heaven City and shall never be associated with the Cloud Heaven City. I only have one opinion, that is for the Cloud Heaven City to have a single voice and not to be split up. I do not care who is the one that takes over as the City Lord, but in the Cloud Heaven City, there can only be a single voice. Once this was said, Ximen Lie and Madam Ximens expression changed slightly. Finally, Yang Dingtian said, If you are to accept my proposal, then withdraw your armies. Within one day, everyone inside the Black Blood Castle shall be withdrawn, and Ximen Lie will bring the Black Blood Cavalry to occupy the Black Blood Castle. If you dont agree, then start the civil war, until one of the sides is completely annihilated. But the ones involved must only be the members of the Cloud Heaven City. No other factions shall be involved. Ximen Lie was caught in a hesitant struggle. He looked at Madam Ximen in the eyes and gritted his teeth before replying, We are willing to listen to Young Lord Wu Mings opinion. What about all of you? Yang Dingtian looked at Yang Yan and the others. Yang Yan, Tang Bozhao, and the others were in silence. They didnt reply, and it was clear that they were unwilling. Yang Dingtian frowned and said to Ximen Lie and Madam Ximen. You shall exit first. Understood! Ximen Lie and Madam Ximen walked out of the hall. **************************************** After Ximen Lie and Madam Ximen left, Yang Dingtian looked at Qin Wanshan and said, Your Northwest Qin City sent people to impersonate Yang Dingtian and the Black Blood Cavalry to plunder, kill, and did so many evil things at sea. What is the meaning of this? Qin Wanshans expression immediately changed as he wanted to explain. I am not listening to any explanation. Yang Dingtian immediately put up his hand and interrupted, I am already here, and you are still trying to insist? Are you not making things difficult for me? Furthermore, you are full of flaws and are absolutely unrestrained. Where is the righteousness that the Heaven Dao Union has? Should I interfere in this matter or not? You can do the things you have to, but do not reveal your flaws and make sure it is done well. Qin Wanshan was astonished, but his face immediately revealed a strange smile as he said, Yes, understood! Immediately after, Yang Dingtians expression suddenly turned stern. He hesitated for a moment and said, I am here for another more important matter. You will put this matter in your hearts and shall not reveal a single word to anyone else. Yang Yan and the others instantly revealed a surprised expression and said, Understood! Ximen Ningning. Yang Dingtian asked, On the day when Yang Dingtian defeated Qin Shaobai, there was a battle within the Cloud Heaven City. Ximen Ningning had relied on herself to obstruct thousands of your men? She even killed nearly 1,000 people? When saying about this, Yang Yans expression immediately altered. When he recalled that days situation, his heart still had lingering fears. Yes! She had killed nearly 1,000 of my men, and no one had any way to defend against her. To be honest, I have never seen such a terrifying person. Her usual self doesnt have a hint of attack capability. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath. For the entire process, Qin Huaiyu didnt say a single thing, but he had been observing Yang Dingtian. Earlier on, it was very suspicious when Yang Dingtian had strongly denied the punishment for Yang Dingtian and had also insisted on allowing Yang Dingtian to participate in the martial contest to decide the next City Lord. Right now, when Yang Dingtian tried to find out about Ximen Ningning, it had attracted even more suspicion from Qin Huaiyu. To not expose himself, he truly shouldnt inquire about Ximen Ningning anymore. But he couldnt hold himself back. What happened to Ximen Ningning ultimately? Yang Dingtian still asked. Chapter 200: Demanding for the Third Rank of Pig Slaying Sword Art! Chapter 200: Demanding for the Third Rank of Pig Slaying Sword Art!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Once this question was asked, Qin Huanyus eyes shuddered while Yang Yans face already revealed a slightly suspicious expression. On that day, after she had repelled thousands of our people and killed nearly 1,000 of our men, none of us dared to approach her. Afterward, she vanished without a trace, and none of us dared to give chase either. Yang Yan replied and looked at Yang Dingtian to ask, Young Lord Wu Ming, why did you mention her? The later part of the question had already indicated Yang Yans suspicion, and if Yang Dingtian didnt explain himself properly, his situation would become increasingly dangerous. Big sister Ningning ran off? This Yang Yan isnt lying? Yang Dingtian thought in his heart as he regulated his emotions. He then asked everyone, Do any of you know why she could kill nearly 1,000 of your men? Yang Yan asked, Will Young Lord Wu Ming please enlighten us? Because of the Deep Sea Mystic Poison. Yang Dingtian spoke insipidly. Deep Sea Mystic Poison? Yang Yan exclaimed with astonishment. Almost everyone present had a change in expression. The Deep Sea Mystic Poison was the worlds number-one mystical poison and also the final life-saving item of the Naga Race. If Ximen Ningning had used the Deep Sea Mystic Poison to kill their men, then this matter was truly troublesome and complicated. It is good that she had escaped. Yang Dingtian sighed and said, She has an overly complicated identity and overwhelming influential background. Even if we captured her, it would be hard to deal with her. Before clearing up her identity, she must not be killed, or released, or imprisoned. It is the best scenario for her to escape. What, what is her background? Yang Yan asked with a trembling voice. Yang Dingtian shook his head and said, It is unclear at this moment. But her background is truly overwhelming and might be even more influential than mine. Immediately after, Yang Dingtian stood up and said, Alright, do not mention this woman in the future and treat her as a taboo. My seniors have yet to reach a final decision to deal with this woman. When my seniors find out her true identity and make the final decision, we will talk about it again. Yes! Yang Yan and the others responded. Alright, that will be all for today. Find me a room. I shall stay in Cloud Heaven City for the night. Yang Dingtian said. Your presence truly brings light to this Cloud Heaven City. Young Lord Wu Ming, please wait a moment, we will prepare the largest feast in history for you, right now. Yang Yan said. There is no need. Yang Dingtian spoke resolutely, I will not see anyone. Find me a room, and I will stay for the night and leave tomorrow. The investigation of the Maori Barbarian Tribe is a very urgent matter. I cannot have any delays. Yes! Yang Yan and others bowed. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian immediately walked out. When at the entrance, Yang Dingtian suddenly turned around to ask, In regards to Yang Dingtians participation rights to the martial contest next year, and the handing over of the Black Blood Castle, Elder Yang Yan, you have yet to answer me. Yang Yans expression immediately changed as he lowered his head and said, Young Lord Wu Ming, you have said earlier that this is the Cloud Heaven Citys internal affairs. Hence, please give me one night, and I will give you an answer tomorrow. How about it? Yang Dingtians heart jolted vigorously. If he were truly a disciple of the Hidden Sect, then Yang Yans behavior would truly be rude. Allowing himself to participate in next years martial contest to strive for the City Lord position was merely one of Yang Dingtians objectives for coming to the Cloud Heaven City. There were two more tasks he had to do. He had to visit the thousand-year-old Mystic Fox lady to ask about the Foxman Races written language. The other thing was to obtain the manual for the third rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art. In fact, the third rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art was the most important thing. But right now, he couldnt even accomplish the first task successfully. ****************************************** Yang Yan had personally led Yang Dingtian to the Sky Guest Pavilion to rest. Young Lord Wu Ming, please rest well. I will take my leave first. Yang Yan said, but it looked as though he had something to say, but he hesitated. Yang Dingtian said unenthusiastically, There are only the two of us here. You can say whatever you want. Yang Yan hesitated for a moment and said, Please forgive me for being rude. Say it. Yang Dingtian said. Does Young Lord Wu Ming know Yang Dingtian? Yang Yan asked. Yang Dingtian shook his head and replied, I have heard of him, but I have never seen him. Then why is Young Lord Wu Ming protecting him repeatedly? Yang Yan said, First, you denied the decision to arrest him, then you allowed him to participate in the martial contest for the City Lord position. If there isnt a good reason, it is truly hard to imagine. Had it not been for the fact that you possess extraordinary skills, I couldnt have helped but suspect that you are Yang Dingtian. Once these words were out, Yang Dingtians heart jolted ferociously for a moment. Yang Yans words were already extremely rude. Yang Dingtian glanced at him and said, Thats right. There is indeed a reason. Can this old one be so bold to ask of the reason? Yang Yan stared closely at Yang Dingtians face. Because the Pig Slaying Sword Art is greatly related to our Hidden Sect. In fact, the Hidden Sect seniors may possibly have left it behind. Yang Dingtian said dully. What? Yang Yan exclaimed and revealed an expression of disbelief. In fact, the most important mission that I have for this trip is to bring the Pig Slaying Sword Art back to the Hidden Sect. Yang Dingtian looked at Yang Yan and spoke slowly, It is a powerful and mystical sword art. I believe that you already felt how incredible it is. Thus, it must not be left outside... Yang Yan felt it without a doubt, as Yang Dingtian cultivated the Pig Slaying Sword Art. The terrifying cultivation speed could topple every cognition that he knew of as it had broken the unprecedented historical record for the recent thousand years. Or else, why would they be in such a hurry and so shameless to eradicate Yang Dingtian. It was because his cultivation speed was truly too shocking. Yang Yan calmed down his shocked mind and took a deep breath before he asked, Then can I ask what is your esteemed sects attitude towards Yang Dingtian is? I have nothing to say. Yang Dingtian said coldly, There are two points, the sword art that Yang Dingtian cultivated is related to our Hidden Sect. Hence, he definitely must not be related to Evil Dao. The Hidden Sect will not permit such a thing. Yang Dingtians current statement was very clear. Since Yang Dingtian didnt have any relationship with the Evil Dao, how could the Cloud Heaven City have the qualification to cancel his participation rights to the martial contest next year? Yang Yan suddenly revealed a slightly strange smile and said, You mentioned that you want to bring the Pig Slaying Sword Art back to the Hidden Sect. But what if Yang Dingtian wishes to learn the subsequent parts of the Pig Slaying Sword Art? Yang Dingtian turned around and said, That is not related to us. We are only concerned that Yang Dingtian must not be related to Evil Dao; we do not bother about the other things. Furthermore, if it is a sword art left behind by the Hidden Sect, then outsiders are not qualified to learn it. Understood. Yang Yans eyes instantly revealed a trace of delight as he asked, Then what if Yang Dingtian is truly related to the Evil Dao? There isnt such a possibility. Yang Dingtian said firmly and resolutely, Even if he is dead, there cannot be such a possibility. This old one understands. Yang Yan said, I will give you a reply tomorrow. Hm! Yang Dingtians back was facing Yang Yan when he said, There is still the Pig Slaying Sword Art. Yang Yan acknowledged. Pig Slaying Sword Art. I will reply to you tomorrow at the same time. Be quick. Yang Dingtian said indifferently, You should know that we are very generous. If you can give us convenience, I can put in some words, and your Cloud Heaven City will have endless rewards. Yang Yans face lit up as he nodded and said, Yes, yes! This old one shall leave first! Subsequently, Yang Yan bowed and left. It was obvious that the current Cloud Heaven City was under the control of the Northwest Qin Clan. Hence, Yang Yan was unable to answer Yang Dingtian immediately. ****************************************** The next morning, Yang Dingtian had already gotten up. A beautiful servant girl delivered a sumptuous meal, but Yang Yan, Tang Bozhao, and the others didnt appear. Yang Dingtian immediately felt disturbed in his heart. Right now, he had the identity of the Hidden Sects disciple, Wu Ming, and those people from the Cloud Heaven Sect should be trying to curry favor with him, there should be plenty of morning and night visits. But it was already daybreak, and he had woken up, but none of the Cloud Heaven Citys important people had appeared. This wasnt normal, right? Could it be that they were suspicious of his identity? Today, Yang Dingtian had another important task, and it was to visit that thousand-year-old Mystic Fox Yao Rao and to ask her about the Foxman Races wordings. But, he was a Hidden Sect disciple, and it would be illogical for him to request a visit to that thousand-year-old Mystic Fox. Furthermore, Yao Raos existence was a secret even in the Cloud Heaven City. How could he, an outsider, know of Yao Raos existence? Thus, he had to find a convincing reason. Before arriving at Cloud Heaven City, Yang Dingtian had already thought up a few reasons. But seeing the change in circumstances, and things werent as smooth as he thought, he felt that those reasons werent sufficient at all. Therefore, Yang Dingtian was thinking with all the effort to think of a reason to visit Yao Rao. It was impossible for him to secretly go without someone spotting him. Countless eyes were staring at his room. Northwest Qin Clan, Qin Huaiyu is paying a visit. Right at this moment, Qin Huaiyus cultured and refined voice echoed from the outside. Yang Dingtians expression had changed slightly, and his heart jolted for a moment. After Yang Dingtian had appeared with Wu Mings identity yesterday, Qin Huaiyu didnt speak a single word to him. It was still so early in the morning, and he actually came to visit. What was the reason? Could he have discovered something? Reason didnt matter; Qin Huaiyu was undoubtedly the most dangerous person. Come in. Yang Dingtian replied. This was the most dangerous person; Yang Dingtian had to bring out a hundred percent of his spirits to deal with him. Qin Huaiyu pays his respects to Young Lord Wu Ming. After entering, Qin Huaiyu bowed with neither servile nor overbearing attitude. Yang Dingtian returned a dull greeting and asked, Does Young Lord Qin have anything for me? Yang Dingtian was impersonating Wu Ming and was supposed to be an arrogant and indifferent person. Hence there was no need to be so polite with Qin Huaiyu. There is something I wish to ask. Qin Huaiyu immediately replied, I heard that the disciples of the Hidden Sect are all knowledgeable people. There is nothing in this world that they do not know of. Hence, Nobody Qin has something that I dont understand that I am here, especially to seek advice. This was a test! The hair on Yang Dingtians back had stood straight! The moment of danger was here as Qin Huaiyu was doing some sort of test. If Yang Dingtian answered wrongly, he might possibly expose himself and put himself in a situation of grave danger. S?a??h the Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Even though Yang Dingtians heart was tightly clenched together, Yang Dingtian still had to do a surreal impersonation of Wu Ming. He frowned and said, Go on. Qin Huaiyu took out a piece of white fabric and gently opened it on the surface of the table. I have obtained this item incidentally, which doesnt have any value. But Nobody Qin has always been interested in the written languages, and I know most of the written languages in the world, except the wordings on this white fabric, which I know nothing of. The Hidden Sect disciples are people that studied the world. Can you help me to unravel this question? Yang Dingtian took one step forward and saw dozens of wordings written on that white fabric. Immediately, Yang Dingtians heart thudded vigorously! Coincidence?! Or was there another reason? The wordings on this white fabric were the exact same wordings that were found on Yang Dingtians Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map. Even though Yang Dingtian didnt understand such wordings, he could still recognize that it was the same kind of wordings. From the structure of the wordings, the style, and various factors, Yang Dingtian recognized it immediately. Immediately after, Yang Dingtian even realized that there were at least a dozen wordings that were exactly the same as the wordings on Yang Dingtians Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map. In this instant, Yang Dingtians heart was palpitating wildly. He used all his efforts to suppress his breathing and emotions to prevent Qin Huaiyu from seeing any flaw. Right now, something could be proven! The other half of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map was in the hands of the Northwest Qin Clan, in the hands of Qin Huaiyu. Yang Dingtians half of the Mystic Flames map was the one that Ning Rouer obtained from Li Tianxiao. If the other half was in Qin Huaiyus hand, didnt it mean that the damnable man who violated Ning Rouer back then and got her pregnant with little Ning Ning was this Qin Huaiyu of the Qin Clan? Chapter 201: Map of the Mystic Flame, Clan Head Qin Visiting! Chapter 201: Map of the Mystic Flame, Clan Head Qin Visiting!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Didnt it mean that little Ning Nings biological father was this Qin Huaiyu in front of Yang Dingtian? Thats right; it must be him! Firstly, the man who sullied Ning Rouer should be a person with a great status. Otherwise, when Ning Rouer was returning to the Northwest Continent, those Sky Phoenix Pavilions disciples wouldnt pick her up with great fanfare. Furthermore, that senior sister, that was stationed at the foothold of the Northwest Continents Sky Phoenix Pavilion Branch, had a rather strange attitude towards Ning Rouer. She was looking down on Ning Rouer and was also envious of her. Yesterday, the Sky Phoenix Pavilions members were also following the Northwest Qin Clan blindly. Thats right, that bastard should be Qin Huaiyu! Back then, Qin Huaiyu must have obtained some kind of information and found out where that traitor from two hundred years ago, Li Tianxiao, must have lived in seclusion until death. Furthermore, he knew that Li Tianxiao must have treasures on him. Hence, he headed towards that secret cave at the top of the mountain where Li Tianxiao had lived in seclusion. He didnt expect to encounter Ning Rouer from the Sky Phoenix Pavilion at that place. Perhaps it was due to Ning Rouers captivating beauty, or perhaps it was his own reason, Qin Huaiyu violated Ning Rouer and caused her cultivation to be crippled and to be pregnant with their daughter, little Ning Ning. In an instant, Yang Dingtians heart couldnt help but feel incomparable hatred. This bastard didnt only violate such a beautiful woman like Ning Rouer, he still had his eyes on Yanyan. If Yang Dingtian had the opportunity, he must tear this man into pieces! Young Lord Wu Ming, do you recognize these wordings? Qin Huaiyu asked. Yang Dingtian quickly suppressed the hatred in his heart. After all, it was more important to pass this challenge right now! The Hidden Sect was in control of the world. Thus, the Hidden Sect disciples did know many more things than regular people. It wouldnt be excessive to say that they were pedantic celestial people that studied the world. If Yang Dingtian werent to answer this question, it wouldnt be good. At this moment, Qin Huaiyus eyes were staring indifferently at Yang Dingtian. Even though he didnt have imposing eyes, but it could still make the person feel like they were on pins and needles. It was apparent that Yang Dingtian was overly concerned and protective over this matter, making Qin Huaiyu suspicious about the identity of the Hidden Sects Wu Ming. Thus, Qin Huaiyu was giving such a difficult question to probe at Yang Dingtian. But, it was truly fortunate that Yang Dingtian just happened to know the answer to this question. Or else, it would truly be dangerous. Yang Dingtian slightly frowned and replied, This is the written language of the Foxman Race. Yang Dingtian didnt say anything else, apart from this statement, that sounded rather impatient. Qin Huaiyus expression moved slightly as he said, Senior Wu Ming is truly a pedantic celestial being. Then do you know the meaning of these words? Yang Dingtian replied, The Foxman Race is just a desolate small race residing in the far eastern wilderness. They merely have a population of a few tens of thousands. Why do I need to learn their written language? Qin Huaiyu smiled and said, It is already a pleasant surprise for you to know that this is the written language of the Foxman Race. Nobody Qin shall always remember the favor from Young Lord Wu Ming in solving my doubts. I shall take my leave. Afterward, Qin Huaiyu immediately bade farewell. He arrived earlier and left even earlier! It was extremely rare for someone to know the written language of the Foxman Race. Hence, this test from Qin Huaiyu should have been responded to correctly by Yang Dingtian. But why was Qin Huaiyus attitude still so indifferent after the test? That was rather strange. Of course, Yang Dingtian wouldnt believe that Qin Huaiyu didnt know the Foxman Races written language. The other half of this Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map should have been in Qin Huaiyus possession for many years. With the influence of the Northwest Qin Clan, they must have already deciphered the wordings on it. Right now, they just lacked the other half of the map that was with Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian would never have imagined that the other half of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map would be with the Northwest Qin Clan. It was truly troublesome now! It would be truly difficult to obtain the other half of the map from the Northwest Qin Clan, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven. Without the other half of the map, Yang Dingtian would never be able to find the exact location of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame. Without the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame, Yang Dingtian would never be able to strengthen himself. He wouldnt be able to win the martial contest for the City Lord position next year. He wouldnt be able to forge his soul sword or cultivate his sword soul. There wouldnt be any hopes for him to defeat Dongfang Bingling, four years later. It could be said that, without the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame, Yang Dingtian would be utterly hopeless. Furthermore, there was only half a years worth of time left for him to search for Mystic Flame. But what about the Northwest Qin Clan? They were the strongest faction in the entire Northwest Continent. It was truly a dragons pool or a tigers den, it was the most dangerous of all places! How was he going to take the other half of the map from them? Steal? Snatch? Deceive? It was the same as plucking the fangs of the tiger. For a moment, Yang Dingtian didnt know what to do. Hence, he temporarily put this matter aside. After all, the most important thing right now was to force Yang Yan and the others into submission, and how to obtain the manual containing the third rank of Pig Slaying Sword Art. But there was something Yang Dingtian was certain of that was he could no longer visit Yao Rao. The entire Cloud Heaven City was Qin Huaiyus control, including Yao Rao. If Yang Dingtian was to ask Yao Rao to decipher the wordings on the map, Qin Huaiyu might know that the other half of the map was on Yang Dingtian. This Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame could even make a Grandmaster class expert insane over it. Yang Dingtian would never allow anyone to know that he had half the map. Yang Dingtian even suspected that if Qin Huaiyu were to know that he had the other half of the map, even if he was truly the Hidden Sect disciple, Wu Ming, Qin Huaiyu might still make a move on Yang Dingtian. After all, this was the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame! Yang Dingtian was feeling rather frantic at this instance. Right at this moment, Yang Yans voice echoed from outside. This old one, Yang Yan, pays his respects to Young Lord Wu Ming. He was finally here. Yang Dingtian had been waiting for a long time. Yang Dingtian replied, Enter! After Yang Yan entered, his face had this pretentious smile. His expression might seem very respectful, but his eyes had a different intention. What is it? Have you thought through the matters about Yang Dingtian and the Pig Slaying Sword Art? Yang Dingtian asked in a dull tone. Yang Yan said, Those matters arent important. There is another more important thing. Yang Yan had a bizarre tone, and it even had a trace of mockery. Who or what gave him this courage? What matter? Yang Dingtians tone immediately turned icy cold. Yang Yan said, After knowing that the disciple of the Hidden Sect had arrived at Cloud Heaven City, the worlds influential forces had started to move. All the Three Sects, Nine Clans, and Twenty Seven Branches, without any exception, are all rushing over. Leaders and Clan Heads of 29 factions have personally came over. There are ten factions leaders that had important matters at hand, so they sent their important members over. When Yang Dingtian heard all these, his heart instantly jolted vigorously. He had a feeling that his soul was about to scatter. He had gone overboard! The reason Yang Dingtian could impersonate the Hidden Sect disciple because he could wield the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword. At the same time, the Hidden Sect had been secluding themselves for two centuries, meaning all those people who had seen the Hidden Sect members in person, were mostly dead. There was another reason. When he was impersonating the Hidden Sect disciple, the people with the highest cultivation that he faced were Qin Huaiyu, Qin Wanshan, and Yang Yan. These trios cultivation had yet to exceed the Martial Ancestor class. Hence, without exchanging moves, it was impossible for them to expose Yang Dingtians cultivation class. In fact, it was very simple if they wanted to expose him, as they simply have to exchange moves with him. Even a single move was enough to expose Yang Dingtians disguise. Back at the Divine Weapons Manor, Yang Dingtian didnt cross moves with Qin Huaiyu directly and had merely demonstrated two moves of the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword. If they were to engage in a spar, there was no way for Yang Dingtian to hide his Great Mystic Martial Master class cultivation. How was it possible for the disciple of the Hidden Sect to be merely at the Great Mystic Martial Master class. It would undoubtedly be an impersonator. But, they didnt dare to take this risk. Hence, Yang Dingtian had never been exposed as an impersonator. But, if it were a Grandmaster class expert or even a Master class expert, there wouldnt even be a need to exchange moves for such experts to scout the cultivation of others. Therefore, if Yang Dingtian were to encounter a Grandmaster class expert, his identity would definitely be exposed. Even if he were to encounter a Master class expert, there was a huge probability that he would be exposed. Right now, the experts from the Three Sects, Nine Clans, and Twenty Seven Branches were rushing over to Cloud Heaven City. Among them, there were dozens of Master class experts, and there should be two or three Grandmaster class experts. If he were to encounter them, his disguise would be exposed without a doubt, and he would definitely have to die. In fact, death was already the lightest sentence of punishment. Impersonation of a Hidden Sect disciple could be considered the worst sin in this world. It might even be a greater sin than being an infiltrator from the Evil Dao. It was no wonder Yang Dingtians Master, Dongfang Niemie, had always objected to the impersonation of the Hidden Sects Wu Ming! Yang Yan added on. Because the distance is too far away, most of the Clan Heads and Leaders wouldnt be able to arrive in time. The fastest among them would be Clan Head Qin, who will only arrive in Cloud Heaven City at night time. He is also coming back along with our Cloud Heaven Citys Overseer, Ximen Ju! Yang Dingtians heart jolted vigorously yet again. Clan Head Qin, Qin Wanchou was coming too!? And he was going to arrive tonight? Yang Dingtian instantly felt that his heart was cramping up, as this Clan Head Qin, Qin Wanchou was a Grandmaster class expert. If he were to see Yang Dingtian, he would instantly see through Yang Dingtians cultivation and instantly expose the fact that Yang Dingtian was a fake. By then, Yang Dingtian would have fallen into eternal damnation. It was all because of his own simple-minded thinking. He assumed that after flashing his identity as the Hidden Sect disciple, Yang Yan and others would submit to him obediently. But in fact, this old fox was only respectful on the surface but was actually conspiring in the dark and trying to drag out the time before handling the situation to Qin Wanchou. From the looks of it, the old fox was already suspicious of his identity as the Hidden Sects disciple. This wouldnt do. He had to think of a way to escape as soon as possible. He had to leave before evening time, or everything would be lost if Qin Wanchou arrived. Since he is arriving at night, why are you telling me now? Yang Dingtian responded coldly. Yang Yan said, Lord Qin Wanchou might only arrive at night, but the influential factions in Cloud Heaven Citys nearby vicinity have already arrived. There is a total of 179 individuals, and they are all waiting for Young Lord Wu Mings appearance at the conference hall. Yang Dingtians heart jolted again as he was hoping there wont be any Master class experts among them. But when Yang Dingtian recalled that the experts beyond the Master class in the nearby vicinity of Cloud Heaven City would only be Clan Head Qin Wanchou of the Northwest Qin City, Yang Dingtian immediately calmed down. Oh? Yang Dingtian responded indifferently, Who are those people? They are the nearby smaller factions. Yang Yan said. Yang Dingtian frowned slightly and said, Then I shall not be seeing them. It is best for Young Lord Wu Ming to meet with them. Yang Yan suddenly had a strange expression as he said, Even though most of them are from small factions, but there is an influential person among them. Furthermore, he is closely related to the Hidden Sect. Yang Dingtians heart tensed up as he asked, Who is it? The Head of Fall City Sword Sect, Yun Potian! Yang Yan replied. (TL Note: This Sect isnt one of the Three Sects but is one of the Nine Clans, it would sound better as a Sword Sect.) Yang Dingtians eyes instantly blacked out as if Yang Yans words were like thunderbolts. The thing that Yang Dingtian was most afraid of had happened! Yun Potian was a Master class expert, but that was nothing much. Most importantly, he was one of the people in this world that was most familiar with the Hidden Sect. s?a??h th? Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Fall City Sword Sect was a faction that was the most closely related to the Hidden Sect in the world. In fact, most of the people assumed that they were the spokesman for the Hidden Sect. Over two hundred years ago, the Fall City Sword Sect was just a third or fourth-rate faction and wasnt listed in the Three Sects, Nine Clans, and Twenty Seven Branches. But during the war with the Evil Dao, they were the most fearless and had the most prominent performance. Furthermore, at that time, the daughter of the Fall City Sword Sect Head had been sent to serve the Hidden Sect Patriarch. Thus, after the war, the Hidden Sect Patriarch bestowed a sword art to the Fall City Sword Sect, which was the Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword. Since then, the Fall City Sword Sect had instantly strengthened. In just a few decades, they had risen from being unknown to being a dominant faction of the Nine Clans. Thus, the Fall City Sword Sect had been known as the faction that had the closest relationship with the Hidden Sect. Basically, none of the Heaven Dao Union members would dare to provoke them. Right now, the Fall City Sword Sect Head, Yun Potian, actually arrived in Cloud Heaven City to pay his respects to Yang Dingtian. This was the worst possible news for him. Having a meeting with him? There was a possibility that Yang Dingtian might be exposed! Not having a meeting with them? Then it might make it as though Yang Dingtian was guilty. Chapter 202: Extreme Arrogance, Skill That Shocked Everyone Chapter 202: Extreme Arrogance, Skill That Shocked EveryoneTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Not having a meeting with them? It was completely unreasonable. The Fall City Sword Sect and the Hidden Sect were closely related to each other. How could he not meet them? It would be equivalent to admitting he was an imposter if Yang Dingtian insisted on not meeting Yun Potian, and that was also the reason why he didnt dare to meet Yun Potian. It was really coincidental. Sect Head Yun Potian just so happens to pass by Northwest Continent. Hearsay, the Hidden Sect disciple, had graced the Cloud Heaven City with his presence. He had journeyed for several nights just so to meet you. Yang Yan spoke, Young Lord Wu Ming, are you going to meet them or not? Immediately, Yang Dingtian could sense that Yang Yans tone had become somewhat gloomy and inscrutable. This old fox had suspected Yang Dingtians identity long ago. Therefore, his current attitude appeared to be so unsubtle. I shall meet. Yang Dingtian replied directly. He didnt even hesitate because he couldnt. It would arouse an even greater suspicion so long as he hesitated for a moment. Once this suspicion broke beyond a certain degree, Yang Yan would make his move and probe out. By then, the situation would no longer be reversible. Immediately, Yang Yan was slightly startled. After that, he bowed, Good. In that case, Young Lord Wu Ming, this way, please! After which, Yang Yan led the way and brought Yang Dingtian to the conference hall. Yang Dingtian pretended to be indifferent about it as he followed suit. However, in his heart, he had almost suffocated due to his nervousness. After all, he was going to face the most unprecedentedly intense and dangerous moment. ***************************************** Yang Dingtian ran into a lot of Cloud Heaven City disciples as he followed Yang Yan towards the conference hall. All the disciples would bow and greet him the moment they would see him. However, Yang Dingtian still saw the doubt in their eyes even though they had tried their best to conceal it. It was strange that someone was suspecting his identity. However, this was no longer the case since the Cloud Heaven City had actually allowed them to show their suspicion openly. Without a doubt, this was a privilege given by the upper echelons of Cloud Heaven City, so much that they encouraged it. It was to the extent that even the lowest-ranked Cloud Heaven City disciples put forth suspicious gazes once they saw him and had forgotten to revere him. The conference hall was inside the biggest castle in Cloud Heaven City. It was no less than several thousand square meters and was sufficient to contain several hundred to a thousand people in it. Immediately, all of the gazes were cast over uniformly after Yang Dingtian had walked into the hall. There were close to 200 people within the conference hall as they sat orderly around it. All of them were discussing spiritedly before Yang Dingtian walked in. However, the instant Yang Dingtian walked in, they became quiet. Greetings to Young Lord Wu Ming. Finally, someone had initiated the greeting with a bow. Immediately, a hundred over of them inside the hall bowed and greeted as they bent over slightly. However, there were two of them who didnt do so. A handsome and arrogant youth and a middle-aged man with sword-like eyebrows and beautiful beard. They sat at the middle seat arrogantly. When they saw Yang Dingtian walked in, their gazes shot over and pierced Yang Dingtian like lightning. It was especially so for that middle-aged man. His eyes were as penetrating as a thorn as if he wanted to see through Yang Dingtian fully. This middle-aged man with beautiful bread ought to be Fall City Sword Sect Head, Yun Potian, while that arrogant and handsome youth should be his son, Yun Wuxin. Yang Yan stepped forward and greeted, Sect Head Yun, this is the Hidden Sect disciple. Young Lord Wu Ming. Yang Dingtian held an indifferent complexion as he looked at Yun Potian unenthusiastically. Oh? As before, Yun Potian hadnt stood up. He swept his gaze up and down at Yang Dingtian and spoke, My Hidden Sect disciple actually ventured to the outside world? How come Im unaware of it? Once the words were spoken, everyones complexion turned slightly startled as they revealed hints of excitement. Subsequently, everyones gaze fell onto Yang Dingtian immediately. Sparks had been splattered everywhere right from the start! Yun Potian didnt bother to gloss over and had unexpectedly questioned Yang Dingtians identity right from the start. Yang Dingtian frowned slightly. Yun Potians arrogance was really immense. Furthermore, he kept on saying his Hidden Sect. It seemed like he had completely thought of himself as the representative from the Hidden Sect to this world. In fact, Fall City Sword Sect had already taken up a huge advantage because of this. The Fall City Sword Sect strength wasnt very strong. Their ancestry was merely in the Master class. Although they were one of the Nine Clans, their strength was far inferior to Northwest Qin Clan, so much that they were even slightly weaker than the Cloud Heaven City. But because they had the benefit of being under the Hidden Sect, no one practically dared to offend them. Of course, this was also because they hadnt infringed upon the major factions fundamental interests. Yang Dingtian was able to sense the intensive hostility Yun Potian had for him clearly. After thinking about it, he immediately understood the primary reason for this. The Hidden Sect was an enormous resource. If the Hidden Sect kept on secluding themselves from the world, the Fall City Sword Sect would already be able to dominate this resource. But once the Hidden Sect disciple was to appear in this world, the Fall City Sword Sect would lose its special status. Therefore, although the Fall City Sword Sect had received a huge grace from the Hidden Sect, they earnestly wished that the Hidden Sect disciples would never appear in this world. Therefore, the first reaction from Fall City Sword Sect was to question Yang Dingtian intensively. Previously, they had not met Yang Dingtian before. Therefore, they did not have any relevant evidence on him. The reason why they were questioning him was because of their personal interest. They couldnt help but wish that this Hidden Sects Wu Ming was fake. S?a??h th? ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Currently, Yun Potian was looking at the rumored Hidden Sect disciple, Wu Ming. He was a Master rank expert. Therefore, he could faintly feel that Yang Dingtians aura and energy wasnt very strong. Immediately, he was elated. However, his expression and gaze became even colder and incisive. Immediately, he put forth his doubts. You actually have the impertinence to impersonate a Hidden Sect disciple and had infringed on my Fall City Sword Sect benefit. Regardless of who you are, I must beat you down to the 18th level of hell. When Yang Dingtian heard Yun Potians direct questioning, his reaction was somewhat startling. Yun Potians face grew even colder as he commented, Did you hear what I asked? Why does my Fall City Sword Sect have no idea that the Hidden Sect disciple had ventured into the outside world? Please give me an explanation for this. Yun Potians attitude became even more aggressive and unbridled. He had placed his seniority so high that it was aloof and remote. Immediately, everyone stared at Yang Dingtian closely as they awaited his reply. Yang Dingtian wrinkled his eyebrows slightly as he spoke coldly, What does your Fall City Sword Sect count as? Why do I need to inform you when I travel around the world? Immediately, everyones expression changed when the words were spoken. Never had they imagined that Wu Mings attitude was even more arrogant and cold. Yun Potians complexion turned unsightly. Subsequently, he raised his head and laughed. In this world, who doesnt know that my Fall City Sword Sect and the Hidden Sect was like a family and of a common lineage. If the Hidden Sect had sent disciples over, how could I be unaware of it? Yun Potian replied coldly. Yang Dingtian replied nonchalantly, You think too highly of yourself. In fact, currently, there is barely anyone who knows of your Fall City Sword Sect in the Hidden Sect. When I came out and heard that there was unexpectedly an additional Fall City Sword Sect in the Three Sects, Nine Clans, Twenty Seven Branches this time, I couldnt help but be slightly astonished. You actually dare to use your position to bully and intimidate others. I will definitely report this once I return. Impudent! Yun Potian yelled angrily, Are you looking for death? Clearly, it is you who is impersonating as the Hidden Sect disciple to achieve your hidden agendas. Quickly expose yourself. Otherwise, you shall face a tragic end today. Yang Yans face immediately revealed a trace of a smile when he saw Yun Potian turning angry, Sect Head Yun, calm down, calm down. This matter is of importance. We still need to pay attention to the evidence. Yang Yans words caused Yun Potian to calm down slightly. Subsequently, he looked towards Yang Dingtian and smiled coldly, Alright. You said that you are the Hidden Sect disciple? What evidence do you have? What keepsake do you have? In this world, not anyone can impersonate as my Hidden Sect disciple. Of course, at this moment, Yang Dingtian could also retort and say what kind of evidence did he hold to say that he was impersonating as a Hidden Sect disciple. Or perhaps, Yang Dingtian could also say that his sword technique was already sufficient to prove his identity? However, Yang Dingtian didnt say it and had only stared at Yun Potian coldly. Because Hidden Sect disciples were definitely arrogant and aloof, how could they possibly degenerate themselves to content against a dispute of words? Therefore, he acted as if he was too disdain to reply, as this was the best way to respond. Hmph! You think that you can just act as if you are unaffected by it and keep quiet? Yun Potian commented coldly, If you are the Hidden Sect disciple, your cultivation would be astonishing and would greatly exceed everyone here. Therefore, I simply need to test you out a little and would be able to expose your impersonation. The moment the words were spoken, Yang Dingtians heart suddenly jumped. Yun Potian continued, Of course, such a small character like you is still insufficient for me to come forth and teach you a lesson myself. My son, Yun Wuxin, is a one star Martial Ancestor class expert. He is just competent enough to test you, impostor trash. Subsequently, Yun Potian looked toward everyone and commented, Everyone, today, I shall let everyone witness a good show. Wuxin, go forth! Yes! Immediately, that arrogant and handsome youth leaped over lightly as if he didnt have any weight. He landed before Yang Dingtian, and the gaze at which he looked at Yang Dingtian was filled with a cold and gloomy smile. My son, go and expose the imposter. Theres no need to show any mercy. Yun Potian commented nonchalantly, Of course, you dont need to kill him because we still need to capture him back to the Heaven Dao Union headquarters and let him suffer from the engulfment of ten thousand snakes as punishment before dying! Engulfment of ten thousand snakes was the cruelest punishment in the Heaven Dao Union. It was only used on those criminals who were guilty of terrible crimes. Yes, father! Yun Wuxin replied. Subsequently, he looked towards Yang Dingtian and smiled coldly, Imposter, if youre to admit your guilt now, you might perhaps be able to die comfortably. By the time I make my move and expose you, I can guarantee that you will experience the most extreme pain in the world that will cause you to wish for death but couldnt attain it. After hearing Yun Wuxins words, Yang Dingtian didnt show any reaction and was still looking at him nonchalantly. Haha. You are still acting even at this time. Yun Potian yelled coldly, Make your move! Yes! Yun Wuxin suddenly drew out his sword. Immediately, everyone widened their eyes and wait for the great battle to erupt. If the Young Lord Wu Ming before them were genuine, he would be able to defeat the one star Martial Ancestor rank Yun Wuxin with ease. Without a doubt, Wu Ming would be an imposter if he were to suffer a defeat. The most dangerous and unfavorable situation to Yang Dingtian had arrived! Finally, someone had made a move and wanted to reveal his impersonation. A one star Martial Ancestor class expert was two classes or 16 stages above Yang Dingtian. His cultivation was dozens to a hundred times higher than Yang Dingtian. Even if Yang Dingtian was extremely heaven-defying, he still held no chance of winning. In other words, once Yun Wuxin made his move, he would be able to kill Yang Dingtian instantly. No surprises were going to happen. However, Yang Dingtian wouldnt let him make his move! Chapter 203: Thunder Attribute Mystic Skill, Instant Kill! Chapter 203: Thunder Attribute Mystic Skill, Instant Kill!Regardless of who you are, draw your sword. Yun Wuxin laughed grimly. Yang Dingtian stood opposite of him motionlessly and didnt draw his sword. False bravado. Yun Wuxin continued, Dont think that I wouldnt make my move just because of this. Subsequently, all of his mystic qi started to condense. Immediately, the temperature in the hall gradually decreased over time. Meanwhile, Yun Wuxins sword had also gradually changed its color. It gradually turned blue from a transparent water-like color. It grew bluer over time. Ultimately, the whole sword was emitting a lump of fluorescent light. This meant that the mystic qi on his sword had already reached its limit. One star Martial Ancestor class expert. This was practically the strongest opponent Yang Dingtian had to face. One star Martial Ancestor class expert. His amount of mystic qi would be able to kill Yang Dingtian instantly. This was the result Yun Wuxin wanted, killing the imposter before him instantly. As before, Yang Dingtian stood at the original spot motionlessly. He had yet to draw his sword. A sneer was revealed on Yun Potians face immediately, and everyone inside the conference hall had held onto their breath. Although Yang Yan was smiling, his gaze had almost solidified. He was anticipating the scene of Yang Dingtian being killed instantly. Die! Yun Wuxin yelled out. He slashed out the sword in his hand, and the formidable mystic qi was about to shoot out. And it was at this moment that Yang Dingtian opened his eyes and palm abruptly. Bam... An enormous bolt of thunder suddenly slashed down on Yun Wuxin as it struck onto his body ruthlessly. Instantly, a mouth of fresh blood spurt out. Yun Wuxins body was scorched black as he fell onto the ground, and his body started to crack! Of course, he didnt die. He was a Martial Ancestor class expert. Yang Dingtians Mountain Split wouldnt be able to kill him so much that even his Mountain Split wouldnt be able to injure him truly. The reason why Yun Wuxin had been injured was that he had received the repercussions of his own mystic qi. He had condensed all of his mystic qi on his sword and was about to slash it at Yang Dingtian ruthlessly. And just when the mystic qi was about to burst forth, Yang Dingtians thunder suddenly struck out. Immediately, he was unable to strike out the extreme mystic qi he had condensed. Instead, it backlashed on his own body frantically by flowing back into the mystic meridians in his body. Therefore, he had suddenly fallen to the ground as if he had been killed by Yang Dingtian instantly. Of course, what Yang Dingtian just did was extremely dangerous. So long as he was late even by a fraction of second, the person to get instantly killed would be him. It wouldnt have worked even if it was a little early because, during that point of time, he wouldnt be able to cause Yun Wuxins mystic qi to backlash its owner. If he were to rely on his current cultivation level, the Mountain Splits thunderbolt wouldnt be able to truly injure Yun Wuxin, who was a Martial Ancestor class expert. Therefore, this Mountain Splits thunderbolt couldnt be executed too early or late. Yang Dingtian was gambling his life when he did this. It was like him walking on a steel wire. However, he didnt have a choice. Currently, he was holding onto the Hidden Sect disciples identity. He could choose not to make a move. But once he made his move, he had to instantly kill that person in a move unless his opponent was a Martial Supreme class expert. Because he was the Hidden Sect disciple and would be the strongest person in the future, he would be a complete failure if he couldnt instantly kill a low-level Martial Ancestor class expert in a move. He would then suffer from everyones suspicion. Now, Yang Dingtian had successfully won his gamble. He had made use of Yun Wuxins backlash to kill him in a single move instantly. Meanwhile, everyone present was completely stupefied. They looked at Yang Dingtian with shivers. Yang Yan was stupefied. So was Yun Potian. All of them looked at Yang Dingtian in disbelief. Thunder attribute mystic skill, thunder attribute innate talent, it only happened to one in every hundred million. Of course, it didnt mean that whoever possessed the thunder attribute mystic skill would be the Hidden Sect disciple. There wasnt such a saying. However, several hundred years ago, every generation of the Hidden Sects disciples possessed the thunder attribute innate talent that was only found one in every hundred million individuals. Furthermore, the most crucial point was although Yang Dingtian had learned the surface moves of the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword, the effects of the moves could be imitated by using several folds of mystic qi. Also, possessing thunder attribute mystic skill didnt mean that he was a Hidden Sect disciple. However, since he was able to execute a perfect Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword effect as well as executed a thunder attribute mystic skill, there was no longer any other possibility other than him being the Hidden Sect disciple. Yun Potians complexion changed drastically after his shock. He was in horror and despair. He had offended the Hidden Sect disciple. The Fall City Sword Sect had entirely relied on the Hidden Sect to survive. Right now, he had actually offended the Hidden Sect disciple. Why was it like this? Clearly, this Wu Ming before him possessed a low cultivation level. Why was he able to instantly kill his Martial Ancestor classed son, Yun Wuxin? It was unknown which person had reacted first as he knelt down directly, Greetings to Young Master Wu Ming. Immediately, everyone present knelt down simultaneously as they spoke respectfully in trembles, Greetings to Young Master Wu Ming. They harbored doubts and perfunctory a few moments ago. However, now, they were filled with reverence and terror. After instantly killing Yun Wuxin, Yang Dingtian spoke harshly, Is this how it is going to be? Fall City Sword Sect and Cloud Heaven City!? Once the words were spoken, Yun Potians body suddenly trembled, while Yang Yans complexion instantly turned deathly white. After Yang Dingtian spoke, he immediately turned around and left. Yang Dingtian had used the one-in-a-hundred-million thunder attribute mystic skill to shock everyone. At this moment, it was the best time for him to leave with his rocketing anger. He would no longer have the reason to leave if he left a little later. He would no longer have the chance to leave if he were to wait till Qin Clan Head, Qin Wanchou, to arrive at Cloud Heaven City. Qin Wanchou was the overlord in this world and was a Grandmaster class expert. All of Yang Dingtians concealment would render useless before him. Therefore, if Yang Dingtian werent to leave, his life would end here. However, in Yun Potian and Yang Yans eyes, Young Master Wu Ming had brought along his ice-cold chilliness and rocketing anger and left. While Yang Dingtian walked out, he spoke coldly, Yun Wuxin had offended his superiors and is sentenced to death with his limbs being ripped out by five different horses! The Fall City Sword Sect had used their connections to intimidate others and had ruined the Hidden Sects reputation. From today onwards, they are expelled from the Three Sects, Nine Clans, Twenty Seven Branches as well as Heaven Dao Union. Before Yang Dingtian had finished speaking, Yun Potians complexion had turned ashen. He vomited a mouthful of blood and was about to faint. The establishment of the Fall City Sword Sect that was over a hundred years was about to be destroyed by his hand. Yang Dingtian continued to walk out as he continued, Cloud Heaven City harbored unfathomable motives and had offended their superiors. From today onwards... s?a??h th? ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. When Yang Yan heard Yang Dingtians words, his body trembled as he chased after Yang Dingtian crazily. He grabbed onto Yang Dingtians sleeve and begged, Young Master Wu Ming, please forgive my Cloud Heaven City this time. Im willing to obey Young Master Wu Ming wholeheartedly and allow Yang Dingtian to contest for the City Lord position in the martial contest... Yang Dingtian ignored him and continued to make his way out. However, he no longer declared the punishment for Cloud Heaven City and had directly walked out of the conference hall as he left everyones line of sight. Meanwhile, Yang Yan bowed and followed him closely. Yang Yan quickened his steps by two and appeared before Yang Dingtian when they walked to a location that couldnt be seen by anyone. He spoke in trembles, Young Master Wu Ming had ordered me to hand the Black Blood Castle back to the Black Blood Cavalry. I will definitely follow it if I could make the decision. However, the people that are stationed at the Black Blood Castle were the Northwest Qin Citys army. Im really powerless about it. How about you mention it to the Qin Clan Head directly? How was it possible? Yang Dingtian would be immediately exposed once if he were to meet the Qin Clan Head. He would immediately die without even a burial site. Although Yang Dingtian was unwilling, he still understood that he wouldnt be able to get back the Black Blood Castle today. He could only wait for the martial contest for the City Lord position that was seven months from now. Yang Dingtian could only truly take back the Black Blood Castle and Cloud Heaven City by becoming the champion of the martial contest. Immediately, Yang Dingtians complexion turned cold, Did I speak to you about this? Suddenly, Yang Yan clenched his teeth. Subsequently, he took out a scroll from his bosom and offered it over with both his hands, Young Master Wu Ming, this is the third rank of Pig Slaying Sword Art. I am willing to offer it to redeem my sin! He had finally handed over the third rank of Pig Slaying Sword Art. Yang Dingtian had been waiting for this moment. However, how come it was only the third rank. What about the fourth and fifth rank of Pig Slaying Sword Art? Immediately, he frowned slightly, Theres only this scroll? Yang Yan replied hurriedly, I have searched the whole Cloud Heaven City. There is only this scroll. If Im lying, my ancestors will not attain peace in their death. Due to the utter horror and despair, Yang Yan was afraid that Yang Dingtian might be infuriated, which urged him to use his own ancestors to swear a vicious oath quickly. Yang Dingtian frowned slightly. He took the third rank of Pig Slaying Sword Art and placed it into his sleeve before replying coldly, If you had offered this scroll earlier, the things I would have bestowed onto your Cloud Heaven City would be sufficient for you to enjoy a hundred years of good fortune. But now, it could only be able to atone for your crimes, and you gain no credits for it. Youre really extremely stupid! Yang Yans complexion was immediately filled with regrets. He bowed, This old one has failed to recognize someone important, I truly deserve death! Enough! Yang Dingtian inhaled deeply, With this, the Cloud Heaven City is not guilty and has no merits either! After he spoke, Yang Dingtian continued to walk out of the Cloud Heaven City. Yang Yan hurriedly bowed down, Young Master Wu Ming, please stay behind. My whole Cloud Heaven City would spare no effort to serve you to atone for todays crime. Yang Dingtian disregarded him and continued to walk out. Yang Yan no longer dared to block him as he spoke respectfully, This old one shall send Young Master Wu Ming off! *************************************** Just like that, Yang Dingtian left Cloud Heaven City! Although the process was extremely unsmooth, so much that it could be said as extremely disturbing, he had still managed to complete all of his matters. What Yang Dingtian needed to do now was to be several hundred miles away from Cloud Heaven City and remove his mask immediately. He had to change his clothes and let the Hidden Sect disciple, Wu Ming, disappear from this world completely. This time, impersonating Wu Ming was entirely a narrow escape. It was just a bit more before he was thoroughly exposed and killed. He had almost died horribly. In the future, Yang Dingtian must never impersonate this identity. Otherwise, he would inevitably die! Once Yang Dingtian left, if Yun Potian and Yang Yan were to think over what just happened in detail, they would definitely doubt Wu Mings identity once again. If Wu Ming were to disappear completely, their suspicion would forever remain a suspicion. If Wu Ming dared to appear once again, the suspicion would become a sword! Yang Dingtian rode his steed and ran quickly. He was getting further and further away from Cloud Heaven City. So soon as he was over a hundred miles away from the Cloud Heaven City, Yang Dingtian would be able to let Wu Ming disappear from this world completely. Just when he was 20 miles away from Cloud Heaven City, two Black Blood Cavalry suddenly charged before him. Black Blood Cavalry pays respect to Young Master Wu Ming. Yang Dingtian frowned slightly, Whats the matter? The Black Blood Cavalry replied, Madam Ximen had requested for Young Master Wu Mings audience. Chapter 204: Urgent Need To Breakthrough! Chapter 204: Urgent Need To Breakthrough!Yang Dingtians heart was moved. He really wished to meet Madam Ximen and speak to her about a lot of things. However, he couldnt. Furthermore, he had only managed to swindle the third rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art from Cloud Heaven City after much difficulty. Also, he didnt want to Qin Wanchou and Ximen Ju to arrive very soon, either. Therefore, Yang Dingtian only wished to flee as far as possible. Not possible. Yang Dingtian replied nonchalantly. After he spoke, Yang Dingtian galloped his horse immediately and charged out. Those two Black Blood Cavalry soldiers didnt dare to obstruct him and could only send Yang Dingtian off with a bow. However, after Yang Dingtian had fled for ten miles, a charming silhouette stood at the center of the pathway quietly. Thats right. It was Madam Ximen. Yang Dingtian immediately faked a cold expression and spoke, Hadnt I already said that Im not going to meet you? What is Madam trying to achieve here? Madam Ximen turned her delicate body over as she took a quick glance at Yang Dingtian. Followingly, she walked towards the jungle, which was directly in the right. Her speed was very quick. In a blink of an eye, she had already disappeared within the jungle. Yang Dingtian was slightly startled. He had no idea what Madam Ximen was trying to say. He immediately alighted from his horse and pursued her. After chasing after her for three to four miles, he arrived at a desolate location that didnt seem to have any human habitats around. Meanwhile, Madam Ximen had walked into a cavern. Yang Dingtian was confused. After hesitating for a moment, he followed into the cavern as well. When he walked in, Madam Ximen, who was dressed in a long pink dress, stood within the cavern as she fixed her eyes on Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian inquired, What is Madam Ximen trying to achieve by drawing me here? Madam Ximens beautiful eyes trembled as she replied with a trembling voice, Xiao Tian, is it you? (NOTE:- Xian Tian is an intimate way of calling someone. Like little Tian.) Suddenly, Yang Dingtians heart trembled! How could she recognize him? Or perhaps, was she just testing him? Yang Dingtian inhaled deeply and commented coldly, Madam, please stop while you can! Madam Ximen had thrown herself over before he even managed to finish his sentence. She immediately embraced Yang Dingtian into her bosom as she wept, Xiao Tian, its really you, its really you... While she was embracing Yang Dingtian, he was immediately flushed with emotions. He couldnt help but struggle slightly in awkwardness. However, Madam Ximen embraced him even tighter, as if Yang Dingtian would disappear into thin air once she let go of him. Madam Ximen spoke emotionally while she wept, Xiao Tian, my son. Your mother had really thought that she would no longer be able to meet you again... After hesitating for a moment, Yang Dingtian stretched his hand out and hugged Madam Ximen. He patted her back softly and consoled her. Madam Ximen let go of Yang Dingtian after weeping for a few minutes. She looked at Yang Dingtian with her beautiful and tearful eyes. She stroked Yang Dingtians face with her jade hands and inquired softly, Xiao Tian, wheres Yanyan? Shes at the Sea of Hades. Yang Dingtian replied, To save me, she had to remain in the Sea of Hades as a hostage. Im sorry, mother-in-law... No. The person who should be apologizing should be me. Madam Ximen continued, Originally, you shouldnt be undertaking such a heavy responsibility. Im really happy that Yanyan could be of help to you. Furthermore, I believe that you will be able to bring Yanyan back. I definitely will, I swear. Yang Dingtian replied, I will definitely head over to the Sea of Hades before the martial contest and bring Yanyan back to your side. Mother believes you. Madam Ximen replied softly. Yang Dingtian looked at Madam Ximens face. She had lost a lot of weight, and she had become thin and pallid. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian commented embarrassedly, Mother-in-law, I believe that my impersonation of Wu Ming is perfect. How were you still be able to recognize me? Where exactly is the problem? Madam Ximen whispered, Foolish child, there isnt any issue with your impersonation. It was just a gut feeling, understand? Youre Yanyans husband, and I treated you as my own son as well as my closest family member. Therefore, regardless of what you have changed yourself into, I will still be able to recognize you. Take, for example, if Yanyan were to change into another face, will you be able to recognize her? Of course, he could! Yang Dingtian would still be able to recognize her regardless of what appearance Yanyan had turned into. He would be able to recognize her from her eyes to temperament to any smell. You had already recognized me yesterday, right? Yang Dingtian inquired. Madam Ximen continued, When I met you yesterday, I was unable to recognize you due to my rage, although I felt that your smell was somewhat familiar. Last night when I was on my way back, your silhouette kept on appearing in my mind. When I recalled the details, then I had affirmed that it was you. Yang Dingtian was slightly startled, Would those people from the Cloud Heaven City be able to recognize that Im Yang Dingtian? Nope. Madam Ximen replied, Qin Huaiyu might be meticulous and crafty. However, he had never seen your true appearance before. Although Yang Yan had seen you before, he had barely interacted with you. Your mother is a woman, and womens minds are very meticulous and sensitive. Therefore, I was about to recognize you. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but relax slightly after hearing Madam Ximens words. But fortunately, Ximen Ju isnt in Cloud Heaven City. Otherwise, he will definitely be able to tell you are Yang Dingtian. Madam Ximen continued, He is sensitive and meticulous, and his thinking is extremely profound. He is someone I had rarely seen in my entire life! Furthermore, he is going to accompany Qin Wanchou back to Cloud Heaven City tonight. When I saw that you have yet to leave the Cloud Heaven City, I became impatient. Therefore, I got someone to intercept you on your way out. If you still didnt leave, I would charge into the Cloud Heaven City myself. Yang Dingtian smiled slightly. He did not narrate the dangerous situation that happened a moment ago to her. Subsequently, he revealed an apologetic expression, Sorry, mother-in-law. Currently, the Black Blood Castle was being occupied by the Northwest Qin Clans army. Therefore, Im unable to get them out. Madam Ximen smiled gently, Its fine. Currently, we have found a temporary residence, even though it is somewhat small. Furthermore, we have already waited for a few months, and it wouldnt matter if we have to wait a few months more. I believe Xiao Tian would be able to seize the Cloud Heaven City as well as Black Blood Castle back later. Subsequently, Madam Ximen continued, Xiao Tian, what do you plan to do after this? Mother-in-laws had already recovered from my injuries. Im able to follow alongside and protect you. Yang Dingtian shook his head, No. After this, there are a lot of things that require me to use different identities to resolve them. Furthermore, the Black Blood Cavalry brothers need you more. Afterward, Yang Dingtian glanced towards the sky. It was already close to noon. Mother-in-law, I can no longer stay here any longer and will need to leave immediately. Qin Wanchou and Ximen Ju are about to reach Cloud Heaven City. I need to be away from them as far as possible. Its better for you to bring the Black Blood Cavalry brothers and leave immediately as well. Although they might not make a move towards you, Qin Wanchou and Ximen Ju are just too dangerous. Its better for you to stay away from them as far as possible. Yang Dingtian replied. Alright... Madam Ximen replied. Subsequently, she reached out her hand and hugged onto Yang Dingtian tightly as she whispered, Xiao Tian, mother really hopes for a day where I could live together with you and Yanyan. Wait for another few months, just wait for another few months. Yang Dingtian replied, After a few months later, I will get Yanyan and Cloud Heaven City back. After which, we will be able to live together as a family. Mother believes in you... Madam Ximen whispered, From today onwards, you are mothers son as well. Yang Dingtian swore in his heart over and over again. He must seize the Cloud Heaven City back and take back the home that belonged to Madam Ximen and Yanyan. After that, he must never lose them again. *************************************** Yang Dingtian was finally 200 miles away from the Cloud Heaven City after making haste for a few hours. Yang Dingtian took off Wu Mings mask in a secluded location. He took off Wu Mings clothing and changed away Wu Mings sword. He stored everything that was related to the Hidden Sect disciple, Wu Ming into his ring of storage. From now onwards, the world would no longer have the Hidden Sect disciple, Wu Ming, and had completely disappeared from this world. From this point onwards, Yang Dingtian would no longer use Wu Mings identity and make an appearance. Those who play with fire would definitely suffer from self-immolation. Today, he had almost consigned himself to eternal damnation. Next time, Yang Dingtian would definitely not be so lucky anymore. Furthermore, when Yang Dingtian had used Wu Mings identity to act tyrannically, he did not feel satisfied at all. On the contrary, he felt extremely uneasy, and there was a kind of unspeakable discomfort because the strength brought from this impersonation was not real. It did not belong to him at all. However, to sum it up, it could still be counted as pretty decent. Yang Dingtian had finally managed to swindle the third rank of Pig Slaying Sword Art from the Cloud Heaven City. Yang Dingtian had to resolve another three issues after erasing the identity of Wu Ming completely. The first issue was to cleanse his marrows and meridians because after cleansing his marrows and meridians, his future breakthrough would become even smoother. The second issue was to learn the third rank of Pig Slaying Sword Art to breakthrough to Martial Mystic class because only Martial Mystic class experts could refine the Core Flame for the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame. The third issue was to think of ideas to obtain the other half of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map from the Northwest Qin Clan. The first two issues werent very difficult. However, the third issue was extremely difficult. The former was easy, while the latter was difficult. He should accomplish the first issue, which was to cleanse his marrow and meridians! ***************************************** Three days later, Yang Dingtian arrived in West Prefecture City that was 2,000 miles away from Cloud Heaven City. The West Prefecture City was the biggest and liveliest city in the Northwest Continent. There were millions of people there, and this was where the Heaven Dao Union Northwest Branch was located. It didnt belong to any faction and was under the direct jurisdiction of the Heaven Dao Union. If the Northwest Continent were a country, West Prefecture City would be the Northwest Continents capital. The reason why Yang Dingtian came here was that the biggest auction house in the Northwest Continent was here. Be it the cleansing of his marrow and meridians or the procuring ice attribute or thunder mystic talisman, Yang Dingtian would still need to purchase a large number of herbs and crystal stone. Master, I want to conduct the cleansing of marrow and meridians. What do I need to prepare? Yang Dingtian inquired. Youre going to conduct the cleansing of marrow and meridians yourself? Dongfang Niemie inquired in astonishment. Thats right. Is it inappropriate? Yang Dingtian continued. It would be extremely dangerous. Dongfang Niemie replied, The first and second stage of the cleansing of marrow and meridians could be accomplished alone. As for the third stage and above, one would require protection. Otherwise, there is a very high possibility of dying from self-destruction. Yang Dingtian replied in alarm, Master, is the probability of self-destruction very high? The chances of you being exploded is 50%, without protection in the third stage of the cleansing of marrow and meridians. As for the fourth stage of the cleansing marrow and meridians, if there isnt anyone protecting you, the chances of you exploding is 70%. Dongfang Nieme replied. Seventy percent? Yang Dingtian couldnt help but inhale a deep breath of air. The probability was way too high. He was about to conduct the fourth stage of the cleansing of marrow and meridians. Yang Dingtian commented, Master, is my current mystic meridians filled with sediments? After Dongfang Niemie checked out Yang Dingtians mystic meridians and replied, The sediments arent significant because the few big breakthroughs you had all relied purely on mystic qi. It didnt produce many sediments in your mystic meridians. Yang Dingtian replied, If I dont conduct the cleansing of marrow and meridians, how great would my cultivation efficiency be reduced to? Dongfang Niemie commented, Around 30%. S?a?ch* Th? ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. That high? Yang Dingtian was astonished, Thats to say I could only breakthrough two levels because of the sediments in my mystic meridians even though I should be able to breakthrough three levels after learning the third rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art? Dongfang Niemie replied, Thats right. Immediately, Yang Dingtian frowned. He had to break through to a Martial Mystic class expert as soon as possible. Currently, he was a five star Great Mystic Martial Master. Therefore, he needed to breakthrough at least five levels. Previously, the second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art had only allowed Yang Dingtian to breakthrough three levels. Therefore, cultivating the third rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art would not allow him to breakthrough by more than three levels. Currently, 30% of his meridians were filled with sediments. If so, he could at most be able to break through two levels. Master, only breaking through two levels is really not enough. Yang Dingtian replied. Dongfang Niemie replied, Perhaps, you should let Yang Peipei protect you. Her cultivation was just right to protect you for the fourth stage of the cleansing of marrow and meridians. Yang Dingtian commented, I had thought of this before. However, she is a woman. Furthermore, she is my elder. Its really inconvenient. Dongfang Niemie immediately turned silent. Indeed, it was somewhat inconvenient because the person cleansing the marrow and meridians would be bare naked. Meanwhile, the protector would have to place their palm tightly at the chest of the person who was cleansing their marrow and meridians. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian suddenly thought of something and inquired, Master, if I were to cleanse my marrows and meridians to the fifth stage, would the breakthrough from the third rank of Pig Slaying Sword Art be even greater? Chapter 205: Ingredients to Cleanse the Marrow, Auction House! Chapter 205: Ingredients to Cleanse the Marrow, Auction House!Of course, the higher the class of mystic meridians, the higher the efficiency of the mystic qi. The same amount of mystic qi would be able to produce a higher ability to breakthrough. Dongfang Niemie said, But without anyone to protect you, it is impossible for you to even conduct the fourth stage of cleansing, let alone the fifth stage. With your current cultivation, the possibility of self-destruction during the fifth stage of cleansing is 100 percent. It was true, this was really the case. Generally speaking, the worlds martial artists would only conduct the fourth stage of marrow and meridians cleansing after reaching the Martial Mystic class as it would have a higher success rate. Before reaching the Martial Mystic class, one would have the risk of self-destruction even with an experts protection. But the failure rate was huge, and once the cultivator failed in the cleansing, the mystic qi cultivation would decline. As for the exact number of decline in levels, it would be entirely up to luck. Yang Dingtian was currently a five star Great Mystic Martial Master, and it was extremely risky to conduct the fourth stage of the cleansing, let alone the fifth stage of cleansing, which was what Dongfang Niemie said that it had 100% chance of self-destruction with 100% chance of failure. But master, I have a secret weapon. Yang Dingtian laughed in his heart and said, I have stolen the holy water from the Five Elements Hall secret realm. If I am to pour some of it into the marrow and meridians cleansing solution, it might have some miracle effects, right? Dongfang Niemie fell into a short span of silence! Thats right, Yang Dingtian had the holy water, which had the effects that could help a person rise from the dead. But, no one can guarantee the effects of the holy water during the cleansing. Dongfang Niemie commented. Yang Dingtian responded, It is still worth the try, isnt that so? Dongfang Niemie fell silent before replying, Alright, we will test it. But, I only agree for you to conduct the fourth stage of cleansing. You must absolutely not try the fifth stage. Yes, master. Yang Dingtian said, Now, can you tell me what kind of medicinal ingredients and crystals are needed for the fourth stage of the cleansing of the marrow and meridians? Child. Dongfang Niemie laughed and said, For the fourth stage cleansing, you will need ten fourth-grade Fire Soul Crystals, fresh blood from a blazing fire attribute demonic beast, ten talks of Sky Killing Grass, and three taels of Demon Fire Stalactites. Yang Dingtian asked, Master, can all these things be bought? Of course. Dongfang Niemie replied, These items might not be cheap, but they arent rare items. They should be around 80,000 gold coins in total. 80,000 gold coins? Yang Dingtian couldnt help but exclaim. Of course, this number might not be huge to Yang Dingtian, but to most of the martial artists in the world, it was truly a huge number. If a wandering martial artist were to put in all his effort and desperately earn money, he would only be able to earn slightly more than 1,000 gold coins in a single year. This meant that, if they wanted to conduct a cleansing of the marrow and meridians, even if they didnt eat or drink, they would still need 80 years before earning enough money. By that time, they would already be dead. Thus, this world was truly cruel to the weaker dwellers. Yang Dingtian never carried a lot of money with him, as having a huge sum of money was truly inconvenient. Most of the time, a large amount of money would be stored at the Heaven Dao Unions silver bank. One would be able to redeem their money with the Heaven Dao Unions unique crystal ticket. But after Yang Dingtian had arrived in this world half a year ago, he never had the chance to spend any money. Thus, he was only carrying around a few hundred gold coins just for everyday expenses. If Yang Dingtian wanted to gather the 80,000 gold coins for the items, he would have to sell some of his things. Ximen Ningnings spatial ring had plenty of valuable items, and any single one of them would be priceless. Yang Dingtian had two mystic talismans that couldnt be measured with money. But Yang Dingtian realized that there were only a few items that he could actually sell. Ximen Ningnings secret manuals must not be sold. There were also many unknown items inside that Yang Dingtian couldnt see too. After all the searching, Yang Dingtian noticed that the only things he could sell were the elixirs and the unusable blood black gold ore. S?a??h th? ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Among the elixirs, most of them were fifth or sixth-grade, and they were either Holy Spirit Elixirs or Mystic Assembly Elixirs. There were 13 fifth-grade Holy Spirit Elixirs and 19 fifth-grade Mystic Assembly Elixirs. There were five Holy spirit elixirs and eight Mystic Assembly Elixirs that were meant for consumption, and even though their grades werent low, their prices werent considered expensive. A fifth-grade elixir would be around 1,000 gold coins and a sixth-grade elixir would be around 2,000 gold coins. Furthermore, Ying Dingtian might have a use for them in the future; therefore, it wasnt necessary to sell all of it. Of course, there were also a few seventh-grade and even eighth-grade Holy Spirit Elixirs and Mystic Assembly Elixirs, but Yang Dingtian might need them urgently in the future, and it was truly a waste to sell them. After searching around, the most valuable item was still the sixth-grade Beast Soul Elixir. Beast Soul Elixirs were considered the most expensive among elixirs and also the rarest while being the most difficult to produce too. Once a martial artist reached the Martial Mystic class, they would need to cultivate a martial soul. Almost everyone would choose to subdue a powerful demonic beast and refine it into their martial soul. At that time, they would need the Beast Soul Elixir. A sixth-grade Beast Soul Elixir would be able to subdue a sixth-grade demonic beast and then refine it into ones own martial soul. A sixth-grade demonic beast was equivalent to a humans Martial Ancestor class expert. But after the refinement into a martial soul, its power would reduce. But even so, a sixth-grade martial soul was already a dream for most of the martial artists in this world. Therefore, this sixth-grade Beast Soul Elixir with Yang Dingtian could sell for a terrifying price. Furthermore, this Beast Soul Elixir was refined by Ningning, and she was a genius Beast Speaker and Medicine Refinement Master. Hence, this elixir still had a huge room for growth. After all, Ningning had been nurturing it for three years, and it was already in the sixth-grade. Yang Dingtian didnt need that blood black gold ore, and it was worth around 50,000 gold coins and was incomparable to the sixth-grade Beast Soul Elixirs price. Ninety-nine blood black golds were enough to forge a soul sword, thus, every single blood black gold would be worth 50,000 gold coins. The price might seem cheap, but there were truly too little people cultivating soul swords in the world. Furthermore, every blood black gold would have to be personally excavated. Hence, this blood black gold that Yang Dingtian had could only be used to forge an ordinary blood black gold sword. A single ore for 50,000 gold coins and a single blood black gold sword would need at least 20 pieces of ore. It meant to say that the most regular blood black gold sword would need at least one million gold coins, and the price was extremely stunning. Yang Dingtians youngling sword would be worth at least 200 million gold coins just purely on the value of the blood black gold, without even counting in the subsidiary value. A single 10,000-year blood black gold was 100 times more expensive than a regular blood black gold, moreover, there was a price but no stock in the market. Furthermore, Yang Dingtians youngling sword had a powerful and mystical subsidiary value, thus, its value should be at least 1,000 or 10,000 times more. Therefore, his youngling sword was totally priceless, and it wouldnt be exaggerating to compare its value to the entire West Prefecture City. Of course, that was just a joke as Ah Chou, the youngling sword, was Yang Dingtians lifeblood, and he wouldnt exchange it for anything. Furthermore, it had already recognized its owner, and it would be useless if it was handed to anyone else. When mentioning his youngling sword, Yang Dingtian felt rather worried, as it was still in a deep sleep. After eating to a full the previous time, it had already slept for over half a month and had yet to awaken. Even though Yang Dingtians master, Dongfang Niemie, kept saying it was fine, Yang Dingtian still couldnt help but feel anxious. ********************************* Yang Dingtian arrived at West Prefecture Citys largest auction house. It was a gigantic structure that was over 10,000 square meters. It contained the Heaven Dao Unions silver bank, a consignment firm, an auction house, and a large retail store. Elixirs, materials, crystals, ores, weapons, manuals, medication, poison, and many other things. Everything was sold in this place. Moreover, it was absolutely safe to have transactions in this place. Apart from people like the Evil Daos Dugu Xiao, anyone who tried to cause trouble here would be the same as seeking death! There would be no less than five Martial Supreme experts that oversaw this place, along with dozens of Martial Ancestor class experts. Whats else, the people in charge of the auction house was a Master class expert from the Heaven Dao Unions Northwest Branch. Yang Dingtian arrived at the consignment area, which had a large hall over 1,000 square meters. There were over a hundred attendants and more than half of them were delicate and beautiful women. Yang Dingtian had just walked in, and a lass with smiling eyes immediately walked over. She was wearing a skintight blue dress that revealed her curvaceous body. Hello, what can I help you with? I am here to sell ore. Yang Dingtian said. May I ask what kind of ore? The female attendant questioned. A piece of blood black gold. Yang Dingtian replied. That female attendants beautiful eyes instantly lit up and bowed to Yang Dingtian. Please wait for a moment. This is a large transaction, thus, I have to request for our Second Class Supervisor to deal with you. Immediately after, the female attendant guided Yang Dingtian to sit at the table and poured a cup of Xiang Ming Tea before looking for the Second Class Supervisor at the ore transaction floor. While she was walking, she deliberately twitched her small waist vigorously, raising and protruding her buttocks, making it very captivating. It should be considered the benefits of doing a large transaction. A short moment later, the Second Class Supervisor had arrived. It was a middle-aged man wearing a long green robe. He looked at Yang Dingtian with eyes like thunder. The current Yang Dingtian had a completely different face, one which was never used before. It was filled with unruliness and vicissitude. He looked around the age of 30 years old and completely like a loafer! May I know of this distinguished guests name? The Second Class Supervisor asked. Shen Lang! Yang Dingtian replied. Does mister Shen has a blood black gold ore to sell? The Second Class Supervisor questioned. Yes. Yang Dingtian retrieved the blood black gold ore from his baggage. When thinking back, it was truly lucky. This ordinary blood black gold ore was excavated when Yang Dingtian first went to the Red Wilderness Trial. But he had found the 10,000-year blood black gold ores, therefore, he didnt have a use for this ordinary blood black gold anymore. That Second Class Supervisors eyes instantly lit up when he received the blood black gold. He weighed the ore in his hand before sniffing it deeply with his nose. He then reluctantly placed it down after a long moment later. This distinguished guest must find it funny. We might have all sorts of ores in this place, but it is hard for a person of my level to handle something like the blood black gold. The Second Class Supervisor said, How is this distinguished guest preparing to sell it? Are you going to put it with us for consignment or auctioning it? You can even sell it to us directly. Chapter 206: Eighth-Grade Mystic Skill Manual! Chapter 206: Eighth-Grade Mystic Skill Manual!Yang Dingtian couldnt help but get slightly startled. Even things like the blood black gold could be consigned? What are the differences? Yang Dingtian asked. If it is by auction and if this guest is lucky, you might be able to sell it for 80,000 gold coins. But we will have a commission of one percent. If it is by consignment, it should sell for 70,000 gold coins, and we will take 0.5% commission. If it is sold to us directly, it will be 60,000 gold coins. The Second Class Supervisor explained. So expensive? Yang Dingtian was surprised. Wasnt it only around 50,000 previously? There had been a recent demand for blood black gold. The Second Class Supervisor said, Which transaction type would you like to choose? I dont wish for trouble. I will sell it directly to you. Yang Dingtian made his choice. The Second Class Supervisor was instantly delighted because just Yang Dingtians transaction would give him a commission of over 1,000 gold coins. Even that pretty female attendant at the back had large and bright eyes. This transaction alone would give her more than 100 gold coins, and it was equivalent to half a year of her salary. Zhenzhen will accompany this distinguished guest here. I will go and prepare the relevant documents and procedures immediately. The Second Class Supervisor said. Immediately after, that charming lass called Zhenzhen became extremely passionate as she randomly threw out coquettish glances. She would also seize the opportunity from time to time and use her soft breast to rub against Yang Dingtians arm. This might be the Heaven Dao Unions business, but they werent really related to the Heaven Dao Union and were commoners that were hired. Yang Dingtian didnt really expect that he would be enjoying such great treatment in this place. Soon enough, that Second Class Supervisor delivered a stack of thin crystal cards. There were three cards that had the value of 10,000 gold coins, five cards that had the value of 5,000 gold coins, and the rest were cards with 1,000 gold coins value. Yang Dingtian carefully observed these crystal cards and noticed that the stripes inside them were much more complicated than the cash notes on Earth. Furthermore, they had a special energy, which was basically impossible to make forgeries. Such crystal cards were basically the currency in this world, and they were issued by the Heaven Dao Union. Right now, Yang Dingtian had a deeper understanding of the Heaven Dao Union. If this world had a regime, then the Heaven Dao Union would be the one with the most political power in this world. Regular gold coins, silver coins could be produced and issued by the Cloud Heaven City and similar factions. But only the Heaven Dao Union was responsible for issuing the large numbers of crystal cards. After the Hidden Sect secluded themselves, Yin Yang Section and the Mystic Heaven Sect took in charge of the Heaven Dao Union. Hence, it was true to say that Dongfang Bingling had the authority to topple the world. ******************************************* After selling the blood black gold, Yang Dingtian arrived at the large retail store. I need ten fourth-grade Fire Soul Crystals, one fifth-grade blazing fire attribute demonic beasts blood, ten stalks of Sky Killing Grass, three taels of Demon Fire Stalactites! The attending shopkeepers eyes instantly lit up as it was another large deal. He immediately knew that the items were for conducting the fourth stage of the cleansing of marrow and meridians. But he felt that it was rather strange as those who could conduct the fourth stage of cleansing would normally be disciples from middle or large scale factions. They should be able to conduct the cleansing in their factions and would seldom buy these materials from their shops. But this was unrelated to him, and he just had to bother about making money from the business. We have them. We have them. Will this distinguished guest please wait? The shopkeeper asked. How much for them? Yang Dingtian asked. A total of 90,000 gold coins. The shopkeeper replied. Master Dongfang Niemie said they were 80,000 gold coins, but they were being sold for 90,000 gold coins. It seemed like there had been some inflation in the world. I do not have enough money on me right now. Prepare the things, and I will come and buy them once I have enough. Yang Dingtian said. That shopkeepers smile didnt change as he nodded and responded, Yes! Immediately after, Yang Dingtian said, I want to sell one Beast Soul Elixir. How does it work? That shopkeeper took a breath and paused for a moment before speaking with a trembling voice, Could I ask what grade is the Beast Soul Elixir? Sixth-grade. Yang Dingtian answered. That shopkeepers eyes shook before he bowed and said, I dont have the authority for this transaction. Will this guest please wait while I invite our chief shopkeeper to negotiate with you? Will you please follow me into the VIP room? Subsequently, that shopkeeper led Yang Dingtian into the sumptuous VIP room. Inside, there were two female attendants who were both beauties that could only be found 1 in 100. They were wearing brocade clothing and were so respectful that they didnt make a sound when walking. A few minutes later, the VIP rooms door was opened, and a beauty dressed in a long purple dress had walked in. She was very tall and wasnt inferior to Yang Dingtian. She had a great figure and was comparable to those of Victorias Secret models on Earth. Moreover, she was wearing a long dress which had a feeling that it was a uniform and was similar to the cheongsams on Earth, which had a very high split. When she was walking, it was very attractive. I am this auction houses Fifth Shopkeeper, Su Mei. I heard that this guest has a sixth-grade Beast Soul Elixir to auction? The woman spoke. Thats right. Yang Dingtian said and took out the sixth-grade Beast Soul Elixir and asked, May I ask, how much is it worth? The lowest price of 500,000 gold coins and as high as 1.5 million gold coins. It might be even higher. Su Mei replied. Why is the difference so big? Yang Dingtian was astonished. s?a??h th? ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. This guest must be jesting. The sixth-grade also has its high and low. The higher the grade of the Beast Soul Elixir, the harder it is to improve further. Hence, the price between a sixth-grade class 1 and sixth-grade class 9 price is several times different. Su Mei said, Will this guest please wait for a moment? I will go invite our Beast Speaker to evaluate your Beast Soul Elixir, and I will give you an estimate price. Alright. Yang Dingtian responded. A few minutes later, a Beast Speaker arrived. It was a man so old that his age could no longer be judged. He was so skinny that he was simply bones wrapped with skin and was at least 80 or 90 years old. Such a person could simply be addressed as the shops treasure. Senior, please take a look at this sixth-grade Beast Soul Elixir. Su Mei was extremely respectful, even though she was the Fifth Shopkeeper. After the Beast Speaker entered, he didnt speak and immediately picked up that Beast Soul Elixir. He closed his eyes slightly and used his spirit to sense it. At this moment, the incomparably charming Su Mei was already holding her breath. The entire VIP room instantly filled with silence. All of a sudden, the Beast Speakers face shivered and revealed an unfathomable expression. Subsequently, he quickly regained his calm expression. A few minutes later, the Beast Speaker gradually opened his turbid and aged eyes. Senior, what class is this sixth-grade Beast Soul Elixir? Su Mei asked. Sixth-grade class 1. The Beast Speaker said. Yang Dingtian was slightly disappointed in his heart, but 500,000 gold coins were already quite a substantial amount. It was totally enough for him to buy the materials for the cleansing of the marrow and meridians. But it might not be sufficient to purchase the materials for the ice attribute and thunder attribute mystic talismans. But, its potential could reach eighth-grade class 8. The Beast Speaker said. What? Su Mei exclaimed and looked at Yang Dingtian with disbelief. Potential meant that this Beast Soul Elixir still had room for improvement and could be continued to nourish and temper. It could reach as high as eighth-grade class 8. An eighth-grade class 8 Beast Soul Elixir was already very frightening. It could subdue a Master class demonic beast, martial soul. If that were the case, it would have a sky-high price. Ningnings talents were astounding indeed, and she was actually able to refine a Beast Soul Elixir with the potential of eighth-grade. Senior, then how much is this Beast Soul Elixir worth? Su Mei asked. I dont know. The Beast Speaker said, As no one would directly sell a Beast Soul Elixir of such a grade. Its price would be dependable on how much a person desired it and how much money the person would be willing to pay. Such an item can only be auctioned off. Su Meis beautiful eyes lit up instantly and said, Just in time. There is an auction tomorrow which already has a final auction item, but still lacks some heavyweight treasures. Immediately after, Su Mei asked, Mister Shen, are you willing to put this Beast Soul Elixir on the auction tomorrow? Sure. Can I ask, what kind of heavyweight items are on the auction tomorrow? Yang Dingtian asked as he was rather curious. Since his Beast Soul Elixir could reach such a sky-high price, it still wasnt the final item on the auction? What could the final item? What does Mister Shen need? Su Mei asked. Weapons and mystic skill manuals. Yang Dingtian replied. Yang Dingtian only had one mystic skill right now, and it was the thunder attribute mystic skill, Devil Heaven Split. But this mystic skill couldnt be used most of the time. Once he used the thunder attribute mystic skill, it would be associated with the Hidden Sect disciple, Wu Ming. Hence, unless there were any other choices, Yang Dingtian wouldnt use the thunder attribute mystic skill. Even if he had to use it, he would have to kill the opposition and must not allow another living person to see it. Thus, Yang Dingtian was in dire need of an incredible mystic skill. As for the weapon... Firstly, his youngling sword was still in a deep slumber, and Yang Dingtian required a weapon. Secondly, Yang Dingtian was currently in disguise as Shen Lang, who was a wanderer. Hence, he required a completely different kind of weapon. Most importantly, Yang Dingtian wanted to use Shen Langs identity to sneak into the Northwest Qin City. He wanted to find a way to obtain the other half of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map. Therefore, the weapon must be sufficiently powerful. There just happened to be an eighth-grade mystic skill manual, Devil Flame Saber Art! Su Mei added, But, that is the final auction item, and there will surely be a lot of people striving for it. Eighth-grade mystic skill!? Yang Dingtians heart thumped vigorously. He instantly had a feeling that he was slightly suffocated. In this world, mystic skill and martial skill scrolls were entirely different and were entirely unique. All of the higher graded mystic skills were left behind from ancient times. It could be said that every scroll learned was every scroll less. Sixth-grade mystic skills were already sky-high in price, let alone eighth-grade mystic skills! If the auction house used the eighth-grade mystic skill manual as the final item and not Yang Dingtians potential eighth-grade Beast Soul Elixir, it would mean that this eighth-grade mystic skill manual was going to be more expensive. In the end, it would surely have an astronomical price! Yang Dingtian didnt have any confidence in getting this manual, in fact, he didnt have enough money at all. All his money was going to come from the auctioning of the potential eighth-grade Beast Soul Elixir. Furthermore, even if he could auction the eighth-grade mystic skill manual, he wouldnt be able to keep it. As long as he left the auction house, it would probably be plundered. Is Mister Shen worried about safety? Su Mei asked. Yang Dingtian nodded. Then you can be at ease. Tomorrows auction will be using anonymous names. No one would know who had auctioned the item. Su Mei said, Moreover, for tomorrows auction, the Heaven Dao Union would send four Master class experts to oversee it. No one would dare to act recklessly. Furthermore, nothing has ever happened in our auctions. Then, I will be at ease. Yang Dingtian said, According to your estimate, will the auction price of my potential eighth-grade beast soul elixir be able to buy that eighth-grade mystic skill manual? It shouldnt be enough, it might be very far off. After all, the eighth-grade mystic skill manual is truly too precious. Su Mei cautiously phrased her words. Chapter 207: Extreme-Grade “Supreme Treasure” Chapter 207: Extreme-Grade Supreme TreasureIt shouldnt be enough and might be very far off. Su Mei carefully phrased her words, It isnt because your potential eighth-grade Beast Soul Elixir isnt comparable to the mystic skill manual. After all, your Beast Soul Elixir still has to be nurtured. Furthermore, if such a high-grade Beast Soul Elixir was used to subdue an eighth-grade demonic beast to refine into a martial soul, there was still a high chance of failure. But for the eighth-grade mystic skill manual, as long as ones mystic meridian talents are sufficient, one could learn it directly. It would entirely be able to allow a martial artists cultivation to achieve drastic growth. This woman spoke very tactfully, but Yang Dingtian already knew. S~?a??h the ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. She was basically saying that if he wanted to use the money that he would get from auctioning the Beast Soul Elixir to buy the eighth-grade mystic skill manual, it would be totally a pipedream. Immediately, Yang Dingtian asked in his heart, Master, is the eighth-grade mystic skill manual really incredible? Dongfang Niemie stayed silent for a moment and said, Xiao Tian, do you know what grade is your thunder attribute mystic skill, Devil Heaven Split? Yang Dingtian replied, I am not sure. It is seventh-grade. Dongfang Niemie clarified. Yang Dingtian was instantly surprised, that Devil Flame Saber Art was actually one grade higher than the thunder attribute Devil Heaven Split. It was imaginable how incredible it was. Of course, a thunder attribute mystic skill is extremely rare, and even though it is only at seventh-grade, the value of the Devil Heaven Split is still many times more valuable than the eighth-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. Dongfang Niemie continued, But in terms of power, the lethality of an eighth-grade mystic skill is at least 50% superior to a seventh-grade mystic skill! To be even more straightforward, if there is an eighth-grade mystic skill manual in Cloud Heaven City, only core descendants like you and Yanyan can learn it. Yang Dingtian took another breath of cold air instantly. If this was the case, the chances of auctioning of Devil Flame Saber Art was even going to be more uncertain. But Yang Dingtian was still unwilling to give up as he asked, Young Lady Su, according to your estimate, what will be the auction price of the Devil Flame Saber Art? I do not know either. Su Mei said, But I am certain that it will not be a contest with gold coins. Once the gold coins reach a certain number, it will become useless. The final price increases will surely be used with valuable materials, manuals, and elixirs of the best grades. Immediately, Su Mei asked, Mister Shen, are you determined to obtain this eighth-grade mystic skill manual? Yang Dingtian said, I cannot say that I am determined, but I really wish to get it. Then, I have a suggestion. Su Mei said. Please say. Yang Dingtian responded. That manuals price will surely be astronomical. Hence, you will need to have sufficient gold coins to enter the final phase of the contest. Su Mei said, According to my estimate, the figure for the gold coins should be around 100 million. It is equivalent to the annual tax of a thousand-mile territory. Your potential eighth-grade Beast Soul Elixir will ultimately be auctioned for around 50 million. To be safe, it will be best for you to auction another item that is equivalent to the value of the Beast Soul Elixir. This way, you will have sufficient gold coins to enter the final phase of the contest. Su Mei carried on and said, Of course, even with 100 million gold coins, you will merely be able to enter the final phase of the contest. I also do not know how much gold coins will be needed at the end because there are at least two influential figures in the Northwest Continent and are determined to obtain this eighth-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. I can only say so much. Any more information will be violating the rules. After this statement was out, Yang Dingtian felt that his chances were non-existent. He definitely had treasures that were worth more than the eighth-grade mystic skill manual; moreover, he had more than one. Inside of Ximen Ningnings spatial ring, there were three or four scrolls of the spiritual scrolls that were equivalent or superior to the eighth-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. There was also the ice attribute mystic talisman, which was more than enough to buy four or five of those eighth-grade mystic skill manuals. Of course, it didnt mean that the power of an ice attribute mystic talisman would surpass four or five of those eighth-grade mystic skill manuals. It was just that ice attribute mystic talismans were too rare and were all left behind from ancient times. They were much rarer than mystic skill manuals. As for the value of the youngling sword, it was needless to say that nothing could be compared to it. But, none of these valuable items could be used for transactions. Yang Dingtian was already regretting that he was going to auction off the potential eighth-grade Beast Soul Elixir, as he previously assumed that it was only a sixth-grade Beast Soul Elixir. He didnt know that it had the potential of an eighth-grade. All those higher graded spiritual type mystic skill scrolls in the spatial ring belonged to Ximen Ningning. Yang Dingtian wasnt qualified to sell them and was reluctant to sell them too. Thus, after all the picking and searching, Yang Dingtian was truly unable to find another treasure that had the same value as the potential eighth-grade Beast Soul Elixir. I will take another look when I return. Yang Dingtian commented. Su Mei could hear Yang Dingtians unspoken implication. She smiled and asked, Is this guest still going to auction the potential eighth-grade Beast Soul Elixir? Of course. Yang Dingtian said, Since I already agreed, I will not take back my words. Do I need to deposit the Beast Soul Elixir with you now? Of course, there is no need to. Su Mei said, You just have to hand it over to us tomorrow before the auction. Yang Dingtian stood up and said, That is fine. We shall see each other again tomorrow! See you tomorrow, Mister Shen. Su Mei then asked, You are our most distinguished guest and could stay in our most distinguished room with the safest protection. Do you need it? Yang Dingtian was tempted, but he still shook his head and said, There is no need. This auction house belonged to the Heaven Dao Union. It was truly too restricted and inconvenient to stay in the Heaven Dao Unions room. Afterward, he turned and left. ********************************************* Yang Dingtian left the auction house and returned to the inn. He only had 50,000 gold coins now. Thus, he didnt buy the materials for the cleansing first. Anyway, those items could be bought at any time as long as he had money. Right now, Yang Dingtian was still feeling restless because he was stirred up by that eighth-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. He wasnt really in a state that was suitable for the cleansing of marrow and meridians. Eighth-grade Devil Flame Saber Art! Yang Dingtian had the Nine Yang Mystic Meridians and could totally execute this mystic skills power to the extremity. With this mystic skill, Yang Dingtian felt that he would be able to kill a Martial Mystic expert. If he had learned this eighth-grade Devil Flame Saber Art, he wouldnt have had any difficulty in killing Qin Huaiju, who was impersonating him. He wouldnt have ended with such severe injuries. It was truly tempting! It was a pity that he could see it but couldnt possess it! He had enough treasures to contest in the auction, but he couldnt make use of any of the treasures. In this world, there was nothing more depressing and confusing than this. When back at the room, Yang Dingtian couldnt help but flip through the spatial ring again and see if there was anything he could use in a transaction while saving those items which he and Big Sister Ningning would have the use for. Yang Dingtian poured his consciousness into the spatial ring and asked, Master, take a look inside this spatial ring. What else is very valuable but not usable by Big Sister Ningning and me. Dongfang Niemie made use of Yang Dingtians eyes to rummage through the other items in the spatial ring. After going through the things a few times, it was still the same case. Those extremely valuable items must not be touched. Those items that could be touched were far less valuable than the potential eighth-grade Beast Soul Elixir. Even an eighth-grade or even a ninth-grade Holy Spirit Elixir and Mystic Assembly Elixir werent worth more than a million. Even though it was a substantial figure, it was still far too lacking to contest for that eighth-grade mystic skill, Devil Flame Saber Art. Suddenly, Yang Dingtians eyes landed at the corner of the spatial ring, and in the pile of elixirs, there was a completely transparent elixir. Yang Dingtian had rummaged through the spatial ring a few times and didnt notice its existence because it looked completely transparent. Yang Dingtian instantly retrieved this invisible elixir and asked, Master, what is this elixir? Is it a high grade? Dongfang Niemie cried out in surprise, Transformation Elixir? When Yang Dingtian heard his master let out a surprising call, he couldnt help but ask curiously, Master, what grade is this Transformation Elixir? Is it valuable? Dongfang Niemie sighed and said, I am now truly in awe of Ximen Ningnings talents. She was actually able to refine such a rare elixir like the Transformation Elixir. Is it valuable? Yang Dingtian quickly asked. Dongfang Niemies voice instantly turned a little strange. It can be said to be valuable or worthless. But such an elixir is extremely rare and is even rarer than your potential eighth-grade Beast Soul Elixir. Yang Dingtian was astonished. Since it was so rare, why was it worthless? Dongfang Niemie continued his explanation, This Transformation Elixir only has one usage that is to transform into a totally different person after consuming it. It isnt a temporary transformation but a permanent transformation. Not only would the facial features completely change, but even the height, bone frame, muscles would also go through a complete change. This is nothing, as the terrifying thing is the change in gender after consuming it. In short, after consuming this elixir, no one will be able to recognize the person, no matter how high a persons cultivation is. This is a completely different thing compared to the Mirage Mask. Ahh... Yang Dingtian was completely stunned! It was already astonishing to change the facial features and bone frame, but it could even change the gender? This wasnt Earth, and there were no transsexual operations. After consuming the Transformation Elixir, one would even be able to change the gender. This was truly terrifying. It was no wonder the master said that this elixir was even rarer than the eighth-grade Beast Soul Elixir. What kind of talents does Big Sister Ningning have? She was even able to refine such valuable and strange elixirs. It wasnt strange that the master would say this item could be priceless or could be worthless. Master, after consuming this elixir, would the user become even more handsome or beautiful? Yang Dingtian asked. That might not be the case. Dongfang Niemie said, It has a random effect. One might become nicer looking but might become hideous too. One might become taller or might become shorter. In short, nothing is in control. Ahh... Yang Dingtian was speechless. How terrifying this Transformation Elixir was unless a person was utterly desperate or a lunatic. Otherwise, no one would be willing to eat this elixir even if someone were to give it for free. Therefore, even though this elixir might be extremely rare, the price was truly hard to say. Following after, Yang Dingtian rummaged through several times again and noticed that this Transformation Elixir was the only thing that was considered valuable. Even though it might not be reliable, there was nothing that could be sold. Xiao Tian, take this Transformation Elixir to auction off. Everything will be up to the heavens and luck. Dongfang Niemie stated. Chapter 208: Auction Start! Chapter 208: Auction Start!Xiao Tian, take this Transformation Elixir to auction off. Everything will be up to the heavens and luck. Dongfang Niemie said, If heavens care for you, it will naturally be good for you to obtain the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. Even if you cannot get it, it doesnt matter. You just have to wait for the next opportunity. (TL note: I changed eighth-grade to 8th-grade) Immediately after, Dongfang Niemie sighed and said, It is a pity that master is no longer around. The Yin Yang Sect still has 8th-grade mystic skill manuals. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, Its fine master, this 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art might be incredible, it is still worlds apart as compared to the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame. As long as I can refine the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame, I will be able to cultivate my sword soul, and this 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art wouldnt be important anymore. Of course, Yang Dingtian was just consoling himself. There was still a long way to go before he could cultivate his sword soul. During this time, the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art would allow his combat strength to increase by several levels. If he were to successfully refine the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame into his Core Flame, then this Devil Flame Saber Art would have boundless power. It could be said that if he possessed the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame, the power of his Devil Flame Saber Art would be amplified by several times, and it would allow the Devil Flame Saber Art to achieve its nirvana state. But at this moment, Yang Dingtian was truly unable to auction anything with a similar value. He couldnt possibly auction the ice attribute mystic talisman as it could be put to shocking uses during the battle against Dongfang Bingling in the future. Furthermore, the rarity of the ice attribute mystic talisman was far beyond the 8th-grade Devil Flame Sword Art. ********************************** On the next morning, Yang Dingtian hurried to the auction house. Su Mei was already waiting in the VIP room. Mister Shen, did you find a treasure that is of the same value as the 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir? Su Mei asked. After hesitating for a moment, Yang Dingtian said, Transformation Elixir. Does this count? Transformation Elixir!? Su Mei instantly forgot about being reserved and exclaimed before looking at Yang Dingtian with disbelief. The Transformation Elixir could be said to be this worlds rarest elixir and also the elixir that was most difficult to refine. In fact, for a long time now, it had been an elixir only in the legends. Not only was the refinement process very difficult, but the most crucial part was also its ingredients. They were items that one could only hope to find randomly and not to seek for them. The Transformation Elixirs most important ingredient was from the Void Spirit Demon. It was a type of pure energy demonic beast and was even rarer than the thunder attribute, Thousand Year Night Owl. Moreover, it only existed in the crevices of the void, which were at the edge of the world. It might be addressed as a demonic beast, but it wasnt even considered a living being. It was a lifeform that was pure energy and didnt have an actual body. To be honest, Yang Dingtian didnt even know how Ximen Ningning refined this elixir. In fact, he couldnt even imagine how Big Sister Ningning managed to capture that Void Spirit Demon. The potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir was already very rare, but Su Mei didnt forget her manner. But when Yang Dingtian mentioned the Transformation Elixir, she had forgotten all her self-control. Had it not been for her professionalism, she would already have asked who Yang Dingtian was and why he would have the Transformation Elixir, which only existed in the legends. Thus, in terms of rarity, this Transformation Elixir should be the highest in this auction. But, rarity didnt mean that it was valuable. In the eyes of most people, the Transformation Elixir was truly worthless. After being stunned for a moment, Su Mei smiled bitterly and asked, I am now extremely curious about Mister Shen Lang now. I have near 10 years of experience in the auction business and have always seen all the rarest items. But this is the first time I have seen a Transformation Elixir. I am truly unable to give it an estimated value. Does Mister Shen have any other valuable items? Yang Dingtian shook his head and said, I dont have anything else. S~?a??h the N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Su Mei helplessly said, Alright then. We shall try with this Transformation Elixir. But I can only tell you not to have too many hopes. This Transformation Elixir might cause a commotion, but there is nearly no one who will be willing to fork out money for it. To most people, it is completely useless and is a disaster instead. Yang Dingtian said, I have no other choice. To be honest, for the contest of the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art, I basically have no expectations for it. I just hope that I can buy an incredible weapon. When speaking about weapons, Su Meis expression instantly turned strange. What happened, Young Lady Su? Yang Dingtian asked. Su Mei said, I do not know if this is the will of the heavens. This morning, someone just sent over a weapon for the auction, the Sky Devil Flame Saber! Yang Dingtian asked, Is the weapon powerful? Very powerful. It is a weapon left behind from ancient times. It increases the mystic qi by 23%! Su Mei replied. It was powerful, indeed. But Yang Dingtians Ah Chou was only a youngling sword, yet the increase in mystic qi was already more than 39%. Furthermore, this Sky Devil Flame Saber didnt have the primal divine senses and couldnt refine any sword soul. Su Mei said, Of course, if it was only like this, the Sky Devil Flame Sabers price wouldnt exceed three million gold coins. Apart from the mystic qi increase of 23%, it can increase more than 30% power for Devil Flame type mystic skill. Ahh... Yang Dingtian was utterly stunned. No wonder Su Mei strangely said that it was heavens will. Because the Sky Devil Flame Saber and the Devil Flame Saber Art was completely compatible and were a match made in heaven. This 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Arts lethal power was already 50% superior to 7th-grade mystic skills. With the compliments of the Sky Devil Flame Saber, it would be increased further with an increase of 23% in mystic qi and a 30% increase in mystic skill power. This also meant that if Yang Dingtian could obtain the Devil Flame Saber Art and the Sky Devil Flame Saber, his combat strength would be doubled. The numbers were truly frightening. Su Mei stated, Without the Devil Flame Saber Art, this Sky Devil Flame Sabers price wouldnt exceed three million and would at best be five million. But with the Devil Flame Saber Art, I do not know how insane the price of this Sky Devil Flame Saber would become. Yang Dingtian became utterly speechless in this instant. Originally, contesting for the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art was already as hard as ascending to heaven. Right now, there was another Sky Devil Flame Saber, which also had a sky-high price. Things were really getting more hopeless. After a long moment later, Yang Dingtian asked, What is the sequence of the auction? Su Mei said, There will be a total of five final items. Your Beast Soul Elixir, Transformation Elixir, and also the Sky Devil Flame Saber and Devil Flame Saber Art, are all included in the five items. Apart from Devil Flame Saber Art, which shall be the final item of the auction, the sequence of the other four items would have to be decided according to circumstances. There were a total of five final items, but Su Mei only mentioned four. There was still one she didnt mention, and it was unknown what kind of treasure it was to have the same value as the 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir and 8th-grade mystic skill. But Su Mei didnt say, and Yang Dingtian didnt have to ask either since he was going to see it during the auction. Furthermore, Yang Dingtians attention was all on the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art, making it hard for him to pay attention to other items. I will verify for the one final time with you. Are you sure you are putting the potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir and the Transformation Elixir into this auction? Su Mei asked. I am certain. Yang Dingtian replied. Su Mei immediately took out two ice jade boxes and opened them in front of Yang Dingtian. Please put the treasures into the two jade boxes. For the entire auction, we will not make contact with your treasure. Yang Dingtian swiftly placed the potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir and the Transformation Elixir into the two jade boxes. Subsequently, an elder walked from the outside and placed the two jade boxes into a chest in front of Yang Dingtian and took it away. We will take your treasures for now. Su Mei said, The one who took your treasures is a Master class consecrator from the Heaven Dao Union. Hence, there is no need to worry about mishaps. Even if there are mishaps, we will compensate you with a value that exceeds the value of your treasure. Yang Dingtians treasures were extremely rare, and he wouldnt hand it over to anyone, no matter the faction. But it was fine for the Heaven Dao Unions auction house. To them, their prestige was far beyond the value of his treasures. **************************************** Immediately after, Yang Dingtian was brought to the auction hall. The hall was massive and was a few thousand square meters. But, it could only contain a hundred individuals. Because these people werent in seats but individual private rooms. To protect the privacy of their distinguished guests, they must not allow anyone to see each others faces during the bidding process. This was the auction hall of the highest class in the entire auction house. Such a level of the auction would only be held once every half a year. For those who wanted to enter this auction, the sellers treasure must not be lesser than three million gold coins. The buyers reserve funds must not be lesser than three million gold coins. For a faction that possessed a hundred-mile territory, a single year of tax might not even reach three million gold coins. In such a high-class auction, Yang Dingtian had two treasures. One of them was the second final item, and the other was the fourth final item. Hence, no matter how many setbacks Yang Dingtian was suffering in the world, he was still constantly at the top of the pyramid. *************************************************** Two hours later, Yang Dingtian had been led to the private room in the fifth row! The entire auction hall had ten rows of private rooms. Each row had ten private rooms. Each row was higher than the previous one, and it was just like the seating arrangement in the cinema. It was to ensure that the guests in the private rooms would be able to clearly see the auction items on the stage. When Yang Dingtian entered the auction hall, it was absolutely quiet and in utter darkness without a single spot of light. He didnt know how many people were inside and who were inside. Thirty minutes after entering the private room, the auction hall suddenly lit up. Countless jewels, crystals, and light from the sun had illuminated the auction hall so brightly that it was as bright as daytime. Yang Dingtian realized that every private room was made with a special crystal. One could see outside from the interior, but the exterior would never be able to see inside the private room. Hence, every individual in the private rooms was able to see the stage and auctioneer clearly. But they would never be able to see the situation inside the other private rooms. Soon enough, the auctioneer entered and walked onto the stage. Todays auctioneer was actually Su Mei! Right now, her attire was even more noble and charming. She was wrapped with a dress inlaid with golden threads, making her curves even more prominent and outstanding. This woman didnt have a low status in the auction house. She didnt have a low status in the West Prefecture City too. It was unknown what her family background was. Without any conventional greetings, opening speech, or exaggeration, Su Mei immediately announced the start of the auction. Chapter 209: Sky-High Auction Price!! Obtaining a Giant Sum! Chapter 209: Sky-High Auction Price!! Obtaining a Giant Sum!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales The first item is a 6th-grade class 1 Beast Soul Elixir. Su Mei announced. Yang Dingtian was astonished. Wasnt his Beast Soul Elixir supposed to be the fourth final item? Why was it the first auction item? Normally, the first item might not be the one with the least value, but it shouldnt be too far off. When Su Mei finished speaking, she couldnt help but take a look at Yang Dingtians private room, which was the No. 50 private room. Soon enough, Yang Dingtian realized that this 6th-grade class 1 Beast Soul Elixir wasnt his elixir. A black-clothed man walked over with a jade box. He then opened the box for everyone to see the appearance of the 6th-grade class 1 Beast Soul Elixir. This was a pink-colored Beast Soul Elixir, while Yang Dingtians Beast Soul Elixir was pale purple in color. Hence, this Beast Soul Elixir was already tempered and nurtured to the limits, and its potential was also 6th-grade class 1. 300,000 gold coins! No. 67 private room called out the price, and it was the voice of an ordinary male. 420,000 gold coins. No. 25 private raised the bid, and it was a middle-aged mans voice. 450,000 gold coins. It was No. 67 again. 500,000 gold coins. No. 25 raised the bid again. Immediately after, the hall fell into a short span of silence. Su Mei said that a 6th-grade class 1 Beast Soul Elixir would have the price of 500,000 gold coins. Su Mei said, Guest No. 25 made a bid of 500,000 gold coins. Is there a higher bid? A few seconds later... 530,000 gold coins. No. 67 bid again. Su Mei raised her delicate hammer and said, Guest No. 67 made a bid of 530,000 gold coins. Is there a higher bid? No one responded. Su Mei asked again, Is there a bid higher than 530,000 gold coins? There was still no response. It seemed like No. 25 didnt wish to bid a higher price. Three! Two! One! Sold! Congratulations to Guest No. 67 for auctioning the first item in this auction, a 6th-grade class 1 Beast Soul Elixir! Su Mei congratulated. Immediately after, a black-clothed man walked up, closed the jade box containing the 6th-grade class 1 Beast Soul Elixir, and removed it from the stage. Now, we will carry on with the second item of the auction. Sky Spirit Mystic Wings! Instantly, slight gasps could be heard in the hall. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but ask, Master, what is this Sky Spirit Mystic Wings? It seems like it is rather incredible. Dongfang Niemie explained, Those are the wings from a very special demonic beast. Half of the demonic beasts body is made of energy. Its actual body is real, but its wings are made of energy. After capturing this demonic beast, the Sky Spirit Mystic Wings could be taken off and fit onto a humans body, allowing the human to fly like a bird in the air. Ahh... Yang Dingtian was astonished, It is so incredible. It sounds very rare. Why is it the second item of the auction? Dongfang Niemie laughed and said, Because it cannot fly high and is around the height of a few hundred feet. It cannot fly fast either and is inferior to riding a horse. After a span of one or two years, the Sky Spirit Mystic Wings would lose its effects. Hence, its decorative usage is far more than its practical usage. No wonder! Indeed, when the second items auction was started, no one called out a price. Su Meis charming voice said, The Sky Spirit Mystic Wings has a base price of one million gold coins. Is there anyone to make the bid? Still, no one called out a price. It seemed like it was going to be a failed auction. Five million gold coins. Suddenly, a hoarse and alluring female voice echoed from the No. 1 private room. Yang Dingtians mind flickered for an instant. This womans voice was truly captivating and filled with mesmerizing attractiveness. It was unknown who she was. It was just a decorative toy, but she was willing to purchase at such a high price. Furthermore, the base price was only one million gold coins, and there was basically no one contesting for it. She actually called out for five million immediately. Moreover, she was in the No. 1 private room, and it was obvious that she was a very important figure in todays auction. Guest No. 1 made the bid of five million gold coins. Is there a higher bid? Three! Two! One! Congratulations to Guest No. 1, you have obtained this precious Sky Spirit Mystic Wings. Next up is the third auction item, the 6th-grade Magic Mystic Elixir. The base price is one million! Two million! Three million! Five million! Before Yang Dingtian could react, people were already bidding and had caused Yang Dingtian to be rather astonished. Master, what is the usage of this 6th-grade Magic Mystic Elixir? Why are there so many people contesting for it? Yang Dingtian asked. It is used during the breakthrough to the Martial Mystic class. Dongfang Niemie explained. Ahh... Yang Dingtian cried out in surprise, This thing... Will eating it help someone to directly breakthrough to the Martial Mystic class? Of course not. Dongfang Niemie said, There are many individuals with limited innate talent. After they cultivated to the nine star Great Mystic Martial Master, they wouldnt be able to break through to the Martial Mystic class no matter what. Not even after two, three, or ten years. Hence, if they are to use this Magic Mystic Elixir to rush a little, there might be good chances for them to break through to the Martial Mystic class. Once they broke through to the Martial Mystic class, they would be able to cultivate into a nine star Martial Mystic, making them an expert. Hence, they are using the money to buy the chance to become an expert. Of course, such an item is useless to you. A talented person with your Nine Yang Mystic Meridians will never be able to understand the hardships and pain of a person without talent. Yang Dingtian instantly laughed while feeling embarrassed. 8 million! 8.1 million! 8.2 million! Ultimately, the 6th-grade Magic Mystic Elixir was sold for the price of 8.39 million. The person who bought this elixir had spent 8.39 million to buy the possibility to become a nine star Martial Mystic class expert. Just like this, the time elapsed gradually. As each item was sold, the prices called out had gotten higher. The attractive female voice that Yang Dingtian was looking forward to hearing again from that woman in the No. 1 private room didnt echo again. She simply bought one pair of Sky Spirit Mystic Wings. This auction had a total of more than twenty items. S?a??h th? ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The most expensive item that was sold was a tube of Sea Devil Flood Dragons blood, which was sold for the sky-high price of over 30 million gold coins. Dongfang Niemie said that this item could reform the mystic meridians. There was a large possibility that a martial artists mystic meridian innate talents would increase by a grade or two. It meant to say that a person with 7th-grade low-level mystic meridians might be able to increase it to 7th-grade high-level mystic meridians. Thus, it was truly a valuable item, but it was still no use to Yang Dingtian. For Yang Dingtian, who had the Nine Yang Mystic Meridians, this item was useless. Su Mei looked beautiful even when drinking a mouthful of water. Afterward, she left for a moment, and when she quickly returned, she had already changed into a golden skintight long dress, making her look even nobler. Next, we will be entering the highlight of the auction. There are a total of five priceless items! Yang Dingtian could obviously feel the temperature rising in the air. There were many who felt suffocating as most of them were here for the five treasures. Yang Dingtian was invigorated! His heart had suddenly felt tensed up. The entire auctions climax was finally here! Apart from the 8th-grade mystic skill, Devil Flame Saber Art, as the final item, the rest of the four items were in a random sequence. Hence, Yang Dingtian couldnt help but feel expectant for the first item. Next, is the No. 5 auction item, a potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir! As soon as Su Mei finished speaking, the auction hall instantly burst out with exclaims. A potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir would mean that it could subdue a Master class martial soul, which also meant to say that Master class experts would be worthy of having this Beast Soul Elixir. Without a doubt, Yang Dingtians potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir was just like a giant stone thrown into the pond, causing an ecstatic response. There was a kind of treasure that even if you couldnt use now, you would still want to have it. The potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir was an item of that kind of treasure. Yang Dingtians heart was racing uncontrollably. He didnt expect that his potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir was going to be the first item among the five treasures. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but hold his breath while waiting for someone to call out a price. Yang Dingtians chances of buying the Devil Flame Saber Art would be up to the selling price of this 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir. Five seconds have passed. Ten seconds have passed. Fifteen seconds have passed. The auction hall was in silence. No one was calling a price. There was actually no one calling a price out. Yang Dingtian was astonished. Why was it like this? It was such a valuable treasure, but no one was calling a price? Could it be no one actually needed it? Please dont let this be the case. Yang Dingtian was fully relying on this 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir to earn money. Su Mei smiled and asked, Potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir. Is there someone to make a bid? Still, no one made a bid. Yang Dingtians heart was rapidly turning cold as ice! 13 million gold coins! A few seconds later, someone finally made a bid, and it was guest No. 3 who had never made a bid. It was a mans voice, and it sounded rather young. It was a voice filled with natural superiority and arrogance. Yang Dingtians heart loosened but was slightly disappointed. This price was truly not considered high. 15 million! Immediately after, No. 5 made a bid. 17 million. Guest No. 12. 19 million. Guest No. 5. 23 million. Guest No. 3. 25 million. Guest No. 5 immediately raised the price. 28 million. No. 3. 29 million. No. 5. Instantly, it had become a price war between No. 3 and No. 5. It had entered a state of gridlock. As the price got higher, Yang Dingtians heart beat faster. 45 million gold coins! No. 5 gritted his teeth and spoke. It was obvious that this price was quickly reaching his limit. Su Mei said that Yang Dingtians 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir should be around 50 million. Right now, it was at the price of 45 million and should be reaching its limit. 48 million! Guest No. 3... This arrogant young mans voice was filled with anger. 49 million. No. 5s voice trembled, and every word seemed to be spat out. 53 million! No. 3 immediately responded with a voice that was icy cold and determined. Bang... Yang Dingtian could hear the sound of something crashing from the No. 5 private room. Young Lord Ye is truly determined to obtain it. The middle-aged man in the No. 5 private room spoke coldly. The arrogant young man in the No. 3 private room was this Young Lord Ye. Yang Dingtian didnt know which factions young lord he was. But if he could spend such a huge price to purchase a Beast Soul Elixir, the factions influence must be rather significant. Chapter 210: Contest for the Supreme Treasure! Chapter 210: Contest for the Supreme Treasure!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Thats right, I will have this item. That Young Lord Ye spoke coldly. Fifty-three million was already three million more than what Su Mei had estimated. Yang Dingtian was rather pleased, but this amount of money was totally impossible for him to bid that final item, the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. Hmph! That person inside the No. 5 private room grunted. Young Lord Ye laughed heartily instantly and said, Mister Zuo, if you are unresigned, you can simply bid a higher price, I will be willing to keep you company. I can even tell you that I am even more determined to obtain the final item, that 8th-grade mystic skill Devil Flame Saber Art. I have already prepared double the funds. Yang Dingtians heart instantly shuddered. Insane, this Young Lord Ye wasnt just going to pay 53 million for the 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir. He had also prepared 100 million to purchase that 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. It meant that Yang Dingtian was basically without any hope to bid for that Devil Flame Saber Art. Su Mei smiled faintly and said, Young Lord Ye made a bid of 53 million for the potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir. Is there someone else to make a higher bid? If there isnt anyone else, this 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir will belong to Young Lord Ye. Three! Two! One! Just as Su Mei was about to swing her hammer down... 60 million! Someone actually increased the price to 60 million in one go. Furthermore, this voice was the hoarse and mesmerizing voice that Yang Dingtian had been looking forward to. It was from that woman in the No. 1 private room. That Young Lord Yes laughter abruptly came to an end. Seeing how arrogance and haughty he was, he would surely be infuriated and would yell out. But he actually didnt. He seemed to be filled with restraining fear against that woman in the No. 1 private room. s?a??h th? N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Is there any bid of more than 60 million gold coins? Su Mei asked. At this moment, her beautiful eyes couldnt help but look towards Yang Dingtians direction. It seemed like she too didnt expect this potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir would actually hit the price of 60 million. 63 million! Young Lord Yes voice was shaking slightly. 70 million! The woman in the No. 1 private room immediately raised the bid, moreover, she was calling out rather indifferently. Madam Qin, must you really contest with me? Young Lord Ye asked, You shouldnt be needing this potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir, right? Yang Dingtian was flabbergasted. This woman with a charming voice was actually addressed as Madam Qin. Did she originally have the family name of Qin, or did she marry to a member of the Northwest Qin Clan as a wife? But, it didnt matter what kind of scenario it was as she was undoubtedly related to the Northwest Qin Clan. Because she was able to sit in the No. 1 private room, which was reserved for the most esteemed guest, while also having astounding wealth. The Northwest Qin City was the No. 1 faction in the Northwest Continent. If they were to say something, it would mean nothing else. This was also the reason she had her current position. When that Madam Qin heard Young Lord Yes question, she spoke lazily, I am purchasing as a gift, can I not? Young Lord Ye almost exploded from anger. He said coldly, I will bid one last time. If Madam Qin is willing to exceed my price, then just take it. 75 million! Young Lord Ye banged his table abruptly and yelled out. It seemed like he was truly in need of this potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir. Whats more, 75 million was the limit of his bid. His meaning was obvious, this was his final bid, and he couldnt increase a single gold coin more. If Madam Qin had evil intentions, then this was the moment for her to step down. At this instant, several private room doors were opened! It looked like the auction was already at the most hostile timing. Most of the people didnt intend to conceal their identity and were revealing themselves. Everyone looked towards the No. 1 private room to see if Madam Qin was going to increase the bid or not. Yang Dingtian was looked towards the No. 1 private room too. With such a captivating voice, he was wondering how she would look like. But Yang Dingtian wasnt too hopeful of her increasing the bid. This 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir wasnt useless to her, and she was merely increasing the bid because she was unhappy with that Young Lord Ye. 80 million gold coins. Madam Qin was still using her lazy and hoarse voice, as though she totally didnt mind that she had just called out a sky-high price to buy something she wasnt going to use. Everyone gasped! It was truly extravagant to use such a method to stomp on people. Yang Dingtian didnt dare to believe it either. This member of the Northwest Qin City was too arrogant and too extravagant. Bang... The door of the No. 3 private room was kicked open. Yang Dingtian saw a handsome face that was already distorted. This should be Young Lord Ye. He was wearing a long purple robe that had golden threads, and his entire body was exuding a noble aura and arrogance. He was already so infuriated that his face was nearly twisted. He smashed his teacup on the ground and gritted his teeth while seemingly wanting to increase the bid again. But an elder by the side had stopped him and said calmly, Do not contest with spite. The crucial thing is still the Devil Flame Saber Art! When Young Lord Ye heard the elder, his expression gradually composed. He sneered and said, Fine, you can have this 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir. Buy it and have fun. Immediately after, Young Lord Ye used his arrogant eyes to look at everyone and said, I will be straightforward and say it. I didnt manage to buy the Beast Soul Elixir, thus, I will use all my funds on the Devil Flame Saber Art. Estimate how much gold coins do you have and decide if you are going to contest for it against me. From the tone of his speech, he was completely determined towards that 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. Yang Dingtian made a rough estimate. Just for the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art, this Young Lord Ye had prepared near 200 million gold coins. This was merely gold coins, as he had yet to include the treasures that would be used to increase the bids. This was truly insane! Yang Dingtian was previously having some hopes for the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. Right now, he had truly given up all hopes. 80 million gold coins. Madam Qins final bid for the potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir is 80 million gold coins. Is there anyone who wants to increase the bid? Three! Two! One! Congratulations to Madam Qin for obtaining this potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir. Su Mei swung her hammer down. Immediately after, she covered the potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixirs box and personally delivered it to the No. 1 private room where Madam Qin was. After staying a few minutes inside, Su Mei walked out and back onto the stage to continue hosting the auction. It was a pity that Madam Qin didnt walk out of the private room, while Su Mei had closed the door of the private room tightly after exiting. Yang Dingtian didnt have the chance to see the true face of this Madam Qin. Next, we will conduct the auction for the second final item, the Sky Devil Flame Saber! A giant box was brought out. When the box was opened, it revealed a peerlessly imperious battle saber. It was four feet in length and half a foot in wide! It had awe-inspiring prowess and outstanding murderous aura. Its entire body was red apart from the golden patterns on the saber. This battle saber was like the flames and also like an uncaged beast. The instant the box was opened, the treasure sabers murderous aura had instantly filled the entire auction hall. It was a top-class treasure saber indeed. Young Lord Ye immediately stood up, and his eyes shot out with intensive radiance of desire. Without a doubt, he had to obtain this battle saber as it was completely compatible with the Devil Flame Saber Art. Many people in the hall had eyes that began to stir. The Devil Flame Saber Art was todays final item, and many of the people here were attending this auction for the 8th-grade mystic skill manual. The Sky Devil Flame Saber and the Devil Flame Saber Art were a complete set. Therefore, this auction for the Sky Devil Flame Saber was simply a warmup for the Devil Flame Saber Art. Sky Devil Flame Saber. The base price is three million gold coins. Su Mei said. 50 million gold coins! Young Lord Ye roared out. As soon as his voice fell silent, the entire hall was dumbstruck! The base price was three million, but he immediately called out for 50 million. This was truly insane. The entire auction hall was in absolute silence. Almost everyone had been stunned by his opening bid. Yang Dingtian originally wanted to make a bid but had simply given up now. Without the Devil Flame Saber Art, the Sky Devil Flame Saber would only be worth a few million gold coins. Young Lord Ye has made a bid of 50 million gold coins. Is there anyone who will make a higher bid? Su Meis voice was trembling a little. Is there anyone who will make a higher bid than 50 million gold coins? Is there anyone making a bid higher than 50 million gold coins? Su Mei had asked thrice, but no one made a sound. At this moment, Young Lord Yes face revealed a pleased smile. 60 million! An aged voice echoed and immediately froze Young Lord Yes smile. This voice came from the No. 2 private room. Chief Beigong, do you also want this Sky Devil Flame Saber? I feel that it is useless to you, right? Young Lord Ye spoke with a respectful voice, but he wasnt feeling the same thing in his heart. I am bidding for my son. That Chief Beigong smiled indifferently and said, Therefore, I will have to offend Young Lord Ye. Young Lord Yes expression immediately turned cold as he snorted. It seemed like the contest of the Devil Flame Saber Art had one more heavyweight class figure, Chief Beigong. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but ask in his heart, Master, this Chief Beigong and Young Lord Ye belong to which faction? Why are they so wealthy? Dongfang Niemie said, This Young Lord Ye should be the son of the White Cloud City Lord. The White Cloud City is situated in the westernmost part of the Northwest Continent and is ranked 19th in the Twenty Seven Branches. Yang Dingtian said, They are truly a significant faction to be ranked 19th in the Twenty Seven Branches. But it doesnt give them the qualification to be so arrogant, right? After all, the Northwest Qin City are also here. It is truly strange. Dongfang Niemie commented, The White Cloud City is nothing on their own. But they have a gigantic backer. What backer? Yang Dingtian asked. Mystic Heaven Sect. Dongfang Niemie said, The White Cloud City Lords younger sister is unmatched in beauty and is Zhu Qingzhus Third Madam. No wonder this Young Lord Ye was so rampant and arrogant. With the Mystic Heaven Sect as in-laws, one naturally would have an imposing attitude. Dongfang Niemie continued saying, As for this Chief Beigong, his name is Beigong Jue and is the Chief of the Mystery Dark Gang. They are not listed inside the Three Sects, Nine Clans, and Twenty Seven Branches. But this Beigong Jue has astounding talents and already became a Master class expert ten years ago. A Master class expert... He was not in the Three Sects, Nine Clans, and Twenty-Seven Branches, but was actually able to cultivate to the Master class. It was truly shocking. 70 million gold coins! Young Lord Ye yelled coldly. 73 million. Beigong Jue raised the bid was already hesitating. This Beigong Jue might have astounding talents, but his Mystery Dark Gangs wealth was far inferior to the White Cloud City. With their 300-mile territory, even if they took in taxes for 50 years, they still werent able to gather such an astronomical amount of gold coins. 80 million gold coins. Young Lord Ye said arrogantly while his eyes were looking intently at Beigong Jue in the No. 2 private room. Chapter 211: Extremely Expensive Transformation Elixir! Extremely Nice Surprise! Chapter 211: Extremely Expensive Transformation Elixir! Extremely Nice Surprise!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales After sighing lightly, Beigong Jue said, I shall yield this saber to Young Lord Ye. Young Lord Ye was rather surprised for a moment, as this Chief Beigong actually gave up this Sky Devil Flame Saber and wasnt reluctant at all. The elder beside Young Lord Ye whispered, This old wretch is trying to squander our funds and is intentionally hiking the price. His only objective is the Devil Flame Saber Art, moreover, his funds are only sufficient to bid for the Devil Flame Saber Art. Thats right, that should be the case. This Beigong Jue was only raising the bid to waste Young Lord Yes gold coins. This way, the number of gold coins that Young Lord Ye had to bid for the Devil Flame Saber Art would only be a little more than 100 million. It was obvious that Beigong Jue had only brought about slightly more than 100 million gold coins. After squandering 80 million gold coins from Young Lord Ye, Beigong Jue would have a higher chance of winning the contest for the Devil Flame Saber Art. This old man was truly a crafty old fox. Young Lord Yes expression instantly turned awful, but he quickly revealed a pleased sneer. It was obvious that he still had some moves reserved. Young Lord Ye made a bid of 80 million gold coins for the Sky Devil Flame Saber. Is there a higher bid? Su Meis voice was shivering slightly. Todays auction was much more intense than she had imagined. She originally thought that the price of the Sky Devil Flame Saber wouldnt exceed 40 million, but who would have expected it to reach 80 million. If no one else is going to make a bid higher than 80 million gold coins, then this Sky Devil Flame Saber will belong to Young Lord Ye. Three! Two! One! 90 million gold coins! Someone suddenly made a bid which shocked the entire auction hall. It was still that hoarse and attractive voice from Madam Qin in the No. 1 private room. Young Lord Yes face instantly turned sinister as he spoke coldly, Madam Qin, you are certain you want to be at odds with me? Your Northwest Qin City might have overwhelming authority, but my White Cloud City doesnt fear you. That Madam Qin let out a faint laugh and said, Im just buying things and paying money. There is no need to be this angsty. Do you have a usage for this saber? Young Lord Ye questioned with a cold voice. I have. Madam Qin chuckled and said, I will place it somewhere to ward off evil spirits. Can I not? At this moment, Yang Dingtian was truly speechless. Young Lord Ye gritted his teeth and was about to raise the bid again, but he was stopped by the elder once again. Give it to her! The elder said, The importance is on the Devil Flame Saber Art. Dont let her mess you up. She has already spent nearly 200 million on these two items, she no longer has any money to mess with you during the bid for the Devil Flame Saber Art. Furthermore, that Old Fox Beigong is seemingly determined to obtain that Devil Flame Saber Art. We will retain all the money to contest for that Devil Flame Saber Art with more certainty. As for the Sky Devil Flame Saber, we can still look for something similar. But there is only one 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. This White Cloud Citys Young Lord had regained his rationality. Thats right, the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art was the most important. The Sky Devil Flame Saber might be rare, but a replacement could still be found. Alright then, I will give it up to you. Buy it back to put it as a decoration. Young Lord Ye said coldly. Afterward, this Sky Devil Flame Saber was sold to Madam Qin for the price of 90 million. For a moment, Yang Dingtian truly felt that it was ridiculous. How senseless was this Madam Qin to actually spend such an astronomical amount of gold coins to purchase two items that she didnt need. Could her hobby be shopping and trampling on others faces? Immediately after, it was the third final item. Next up is the third final item, a Transformation Elixir! Su Mei personally opened the jade box. The interior of the box looked like it was empty as the Transformation Elixir was invisible. When a ray of light shined onto the Transformation Elixir, it made this extremely rare elixir reveal its mysterious and beautiful appearance. Ahh... The auction hall echoed with exclaims of disbelief. Subsequently, dozens of private room doors were opened one after the other. Almost everyone walked out of their private rooms and stared at the Transformation Elixir on the stage. Originally, this auction hall was filled with influential people who were all very reserved. They wouldnt converse with each other normally, but when they saw the Transformation Elixir, almost everyone couldnt help but start a discussion. Heavens... The legendary Transformation Elixir? There truly is a Transformation Elixir. I thought it was merely a legend. I might not have bought anything, but it truly isnt a waste of trip as I have witnessed the Transformation Elixir. I have lived for nearly 100 years and have never seen a real Transformation Elixir before. I didnt imagine I will be able to see it today. This Su Mei truly isnt a simple woman and could actually get her hands on a Transformation Elixir. ************************************** Almost everyone was in a heated discussion because the Transformation Elixir was truly too rare. Firstly, none of the Medicine Refinement Master would take the initiative to refine it. Secondly, it was nearly impossible to refine it. Thirdly, it was impossible to find the ingredients. Hence, almost everyone only heard of this extremely rare and strange Transformation Elixir, but have never seen it in person. They had never imagined that they would actually be able to witness a real Transformation Elixir in person at this auction. Yang Dingtian noticed that in the auction hall, there were only three private rooms that werent opened. Madam Qins No. 1 private room Yang Dingtians No. 50 private room. And No. 100 private room, which never uttered a single voice. Yang Dingtian was actually suspecting if this private room was empty. In the auction hall, the clamor lasted for around five minutes before regaining its serenity. Everyone had also returned to their respective private rooms. Transformation Elixir. The base price is 10 million gold coins. Is there anyone willing to make a bid? Su Mei asked. Silence! Transformation Elixir. The base price is 10 million gold coins. Is there anyone willing to make a bid? Su Mei asked again. There was still nothing but silence. Even though Yang Dingtian felt disappointed, he was already prepared for this outcome. Although the Transformation Elixir was extremely rare, its value was truly hard to define. If a person were to consume it, they would change into an entirely different person. The face would change, the bones would change, the skin would change, even the gender would change. It was truly very mystical but also very horrifying. If a person were to consume it, it was entirely possible to change into a hideous individual. No matter how rare this elixir was, no one would dare to eat it even if they were bestowed with it. It could only be bought as a collection or for flaunting. But the base price of 10 million was truly too steep. Yang Dingtian originally had huge hopes for Madam Qin in the No. 1 private room, as this woman had money without any place to spend. Since she had purchased two treasures with sky-high prices that she had no use for, Yang Dingtian felt that Madam Qin might just purchase it for her collection. But who would have expected that she wasnt calling out a price? Transformation Elixir, the base price is 10 million gold coins. Is there anyone willing to make a bid? Su Mei asked for the third time. The auction hall still had nothing but silence. Yang Dingtian had completely forsaken all hopes. This item was something that no one was willing to purchase for a high price. Su Mei looked at Yang Dingtian with helpless eyes and said, I will start the countdown. When the countdown is finished, and no one is willing to make a bid, this Transformation Elixir will be considered a failed auction and will be returned to the owner. Three! Two! One! Su Mei announced, The countdown is completed. I will declare that this Transformation Elixir is a failed... 10 million gold coins. Someone suddenly made a bid. Yang Dingtians eyes were instantly lit up. The one who made the bid was still that Madam Qin with the lazy voice. I will buy it back to play with it. Madam Qin said, My money will have more uses later on, thus, I do not have much for this little plaything. Her meaning was very clear. She was only willing to pay 10 million gold coins for this Transformation Elixir. If someone was to raise the bid, she would give up. Her money was also meant for the Devil Flame Saber Art at the end. Yang Dingtian smiled bitterly. 10 million gold coins were better than nothing. Since there were no more hopes for the Devil Flame Saber Art, Yang Dingtian didnt mind if this Transformation Elixir couldnt be sold. Had it not been that he couldnt regret his decision to auction it, Yang Dingtian would want to take the Transformation Elixir back. It might be useless, but it was still very rare, and it was a good idea to have it in the collection. Su Mei raised her hammer and said, 10 million gold coins, going once. 10 million gold coins, going twice. 10 million gold coins, going thrice. Just as Su Meis hammer was coming down... 15 million gold coins. All of a sudden, someone else made a bid. Furthermore, this bid was actually from No. 100 private room. The person in this private room didnt make a bid, nor did the person utter a voice before. This person was the most mysterious person in this auction hall today. Moreover, it was also one of the three private rooms that had yet to open the door. Yang Dingtian could hear his voice, which was hoarse but penetrative. It was sharp yet contained vicissitudes. Just the voice alone sounded like he was a charming man. According to his voice, his age shouldnt be more than 30 years. The only bid he made today was for the Transformation Elixir, and it seemed like he was here for the Transformation Elixir. Madam Qin had already said that she would never increase the price again. Thus, Su Mei raised her hammer and yelled out, 15 million gold coins, going once! 15 million gold coins, going twice! 15 million gold coins, going thrice! Su Meis hammer was coming down... 30 million gold coins! Someone made a bid. Everyone cried out in surprise. This time, the bid was actually from Madam Qin. She no longer had her lazy voice as her voice had turned stern and severe. It was filled with determined willpower. 50 million gold coins. The man in No. 100 private spoke indifferently. 80 million gold coins. Madam Qin raised the bid. 100 million gold coins. The mysterious man spoke. 150 million gold coins. Madam Qin made another bid. Yang Dingtian was dumbstruck and was about to faint! He originally didnt have any expectations for the Transformation Elixir, but now, the price was already at a sky-high 150 million. He couldnt react at this moment, and it felt unreal. It was truly insane. He truly didnt have any kind of hopes for the Transformation Elixir, thus, he wasnt going to even make a bid for the Sky Devil Flame Saber. Right now, he was truly ecstatic and pleasantly surprised. S~?a??h the n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. With the gold coins from the 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir, he had about 200 million gold coins and had the ability to contest for the Devil Flame Saber Art. He originally didnt have any hopes for the Devil Flame Saber Art, but now, a pleasant surprise had actually descended onto him. This world was truly too unpredictable. 200 million gold coins. That mysterious man immediately responded. Chapter 212: Yang Dingtian’s Big Windfall! Chapter 212: Yang Dingtians Big Windfall!200 million gold coins. That mysterious man responded immediately. In Yang Dingtians opinion, this Madam Qin and this mysterious man were especially here for the Transformation Elixir. Hence, when making their bids, these two individuals didnt have any hesitation or any regret. As long as they could obtain the Transformation Elixir, they completely disregarded how much money they had to spend. This mysterious man immediately raised the bid to 200 million gold coins. It was an astronomical number. In fact, not even the Cloud Heaven City could bring out 200 million gold coins on the spot. All of Cloud Heaven Citys existing gold coins and their amethyst enchanted coins wouldnt exceed 100 million. If the Cloud Heaven City was to add all their crystal currency coin cards and their existing funds, it wouldnt be more than one billion gold coins. The Cloud Heaven City was the ruler for a 1000-mile territory, and they didnt have more than one billion gold coins. Right now, this mysterious man was actually spending 200 million to purchase a Transformation Elixir. It was obvious that Madam Qin had never expected such a scenario. She originally thought that no one was going to contest this Transformation Elixir with her. Hence, she could use her money to purchase other items. She never would have imagined that there was another individual at this auction that was determined to obtain the Transformation Elixir. Suddenly, the No. 1 private rooms door opened. A stunning and beautiful woman walked out leisurely. At this moment, the entire auction hall was illuminated, and everyones eyes were burning. She was Madam Qin! Her age shouldnt be more than 30, and in terms of looks, she wasnt inferior to Madam Ximen. But in terms of charm and seductive power, she was the best among all the women Yang Dingtian had encountered! Her entire body, her eyes, her movements contained a unique charm. This was a femme fatale. Be it the looks or the figure, Su Mei was 1 in 10,000 and was dazzling. But when Madam Qin walked out, all of Su Meis limelight had instantly been dimmed. This Madam Qin and the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox enchantress were comparable. But, Madam Qin had a stronger bad girl presence. This sire, will you be willing to give up the Transformation Elixir to me. The Northwest Qin City will owe you a favor. How about it? Madam Qin looked at the No. 100 private room. After Madam Qin spoke, she raised the bid, 200 million and 100 thousand gold coins. Perhaps, this was the largest amount of gold coins that Madam Qin possessed. No. 100 private rooms door still didnt open. That mysterious man spoke calmly with a hoarse voice, My apologies, Madam, I am truly in need of this item. 232 million and 500 thousand gold coins. That mysterious man made his final bid, which was an odd number. This must be all the money he had. These two individuals had already put in everything. But at the moment, this mysterious man was still slightly superior. Madam Qin clenched her teeth hard and said, 200 million and 100 thousand gold coins, with the addition of the potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir, Sky Devil Flame Saber, and the Sky Spirit Mystic Wings! Everyone was instantly shaken! Yang Dingtian was also completely stunned! This world was utterly crazy! Everyone here was also going crazy. Su Mei had completely forgotten about her outlook and had a stupefied expression. This scenario had totally surpassed her imagination. Madam Qins bid was close to 400 million gold coins in value. This price was a sky-breaking number. Even a wealthy faction might not have so much money. This Transformation Elixir was something that no one originally wanted, she willingly made a bid of 400 million gold coins. Yang Dingtian couldnt imagine what kind of reason would make her so determined to obtain this Transformation Elixir. Madam Qin made the final insane bid! Everyone was utterly silent! Su Mei had only reacted a moment later! She raised her hammer and was about to let it fall. There was no longer any suspense. That mysterious mans bid was already his limits, and he could no longer increase it further. This Transformation Elixir was certainly Madam Qins possession. Just like this, Yang Dingtian obtained 200 million gold coins. He got back his potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir and even obtained the Sky Devil Flame Saber. Earlier on, he was still regretting that he didnt contest for the Sky Devil Flame Saber. Right now, it was actually delivered to his doorstep. This world was truly too insane. Right now, Yang Dingtian was filled with a strong ambition to obtain the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. His current wealth was completely comparable to Chief Beigong and Young Lord Ye. Just as everyone assumed that Madam Qins bid couldnt be overturned, the mysterious man in the No. 100 private room spoke again. 250 million gold coins with the addition of the Dragon Dance Nine Heavens scroll. Ahh... Everyone let out gasps of shock! They were revealing inconceivable expressions. Even Dongfang Niemie muttered with surprise, How could this be? Yang Dingtian was confused as he asked, Master, what is the Dragon Dance Nine Heavens scroll? Is it incredible? Dongfang Niemie explained, It is a flight mystic skill scroll. After learning it, one can simply fly with the need to ride on a flying beast. Yang Dingtian was astonished at this moment. It was actually a flight scroll, this worlds extremely rare flight scroll. Of course, to Dugu Fengwu and Dongfang Bingling, such flying scrolls werent especially useful. They could simply use their mystic qi cultivation to fly in the sky. But to martial artists below the Martial Ancestor class, a flying scroll was too precious. After learning this scroll, Yang Dingtian wouldnt need to ride a horse after leaving a territory. He could simply fly in the sky. Of course, at the various checkpoints, he would still have to travel on foot. In summary, this flying scroll was too attractive to Yang Dingtian, and nothing could be compared to it. But, that Sky Devil Flame Saber was also very useful, as it was truly formidable when complemented by that 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. It was a burst of lethal power. The flying scroll was just a means of convenience. Su Mei had fallen into a predicament as she said, Apologies, I am truly unable to calculate which bid is higher in value. Thus, I can only hand this decision to the owner of the Transformation Elixir. Will the two distinguished guests please wait for a moment? Afterward, the entire auction hall suddenly turned dark as all sources of light had vanished. A short moment later, Yang Dingtian felt his door being opened, and a whiff of fragrance entered. Su Meis fragrant and delicate body leaned towards Yang Dingtian. She then whispered into Yang Dingtians ear, Mister Shen, you have to make a decision. Thats right, a decision had to be made. Yang Dingtian wanted the Sky Devil Flame Saber, but he wanted the Dragon Dance Nine Heavens scroll too. Child, this is entirely up to you. Dongfang Niemie smiled and said in Yang Dingtians mind. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and made his final decision. I will choose the Dragon Dance Nine Heavens scroll. Yang Dingtian said. Yes... Su Mei whispered with a rather surprised voice. She assumed that Yang Dingtian would choose the Sky Devil Flame Saber. As the flying scroll was just a means of traveling, but the Sky Devil Flame Saber would make him very powerful. But Yang Dingtian was thinking like this: The flying scroll would save Yang Dingtian a lot of time on the road. Furthermore, what Yang Dingtian needed right now was the most precious time. Following this, he would have to infiltrate the Northwest Qin Clan and think of a way to obtain the other half of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map. It was truly a mission that was as difficult as ascending to heaven. Even if he could succeed, it would require him to perform a large number of tasks. Even after he obtained the map, he still had to travel several tens of thousands of miles to the Foxman Race and translate the written words on the map. It would help him to ascertain the location of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame. The location of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame might be at the ends of the world, which might require Yang Dingtian to travel another tens of thousands of miles. Hence, to Yang Dingtian, time was the most important. As for the strength that the Sky Devil Flame Saber would bring him, it might only be for a few months. Yang Dingtians true weapon was the weapon that would accompany him for life. It was his soul sword and the current youngling sword. I want the flying scroll. Yang Dingtian said. Understood. Su Mei spoke delicately. Immediately after, Yang Dingtian suddenly felt his ears getting warm as Su Mei had got even closer to his ears and said something. He immediately heard this womans voice saying, Is Mister Shen married yet? If not, what do you think about me? Yang Dingtian instinctively wanted to sit straight and push her away. But he suddenly recalled that he was impersonating a wanderer of the world and not an upright gentleman. S~?a??h the ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. I am not married yet. If Young Lady Su is willing, why dont I visit with a marriage proposal tonight? Yang Dingtian teased, and his right hand was able to embrace Su Meis waist. Do you think I will believe your words? As expected, this woman twisted gently and avoided Yang Dingtians hand. The fragrance left with the wind as Su Mei left Yang Dingtians private room. She was yet another woman that was adept at deceiving. A few minutes after Su Mei left Yang Dingtians private room, she returned to the stage. Subsequently, the entire auction hall lit up abruptly! The owner of the Transformation Elixir has accepted the bid from guest No. 100. Su Mei asked, Is there another bid? After hearing this news, that extraordinarily beautiful Madam Qins eyes shuddered slightly before she revealed an enchanting smile. She acted as though nothing had happened and immediately returned to her private room. Following after, someone delivered a stack of crystal cards to Yang Dingtian and also a purple spiritual scroll. But this time, it was a pretty and pleasant-looking lass that delivered the things and not Su Mei. It seemed like Su Mei was afraid that she might be taken advantage of if she was to enter Yang Dingtians private room again. So this was the flying scroll! It was the mysterious and mystical flying scroll with a sky-high price! Yang Dingtian held the Dragon Dance Nine Heavens mystic skill scroll in his hand and could feel that it was as light as air. Furthermore, it had a feeling that it was about to fly off at any moment. Apart from this, there was nothing else surprising about this scroll. Yang Dingtian then took a look at this thick stack of crystal cards. Every card contained an astonishing amount of gold coins. Chapter 213: Contest for the 8th-Grade Mystic Skill Manual! Chapter 213: Contest for the 8th-Grade Mystic Skill Manual!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Furthermore, Yang Dingtian noticed that these crystal cards were different from the previous ones that had a few tens of thousands of gold coins. These crystal cards were all made of purple gold crystal. Just the material itself was already extremely expensive. Among the crystal cards, the ones with the largest amount of money actually had decorations and carvings that were made of two of the worlds most expensive ores, the blood black gold and mystic ice jade. The mystic ice jade was soul sword forging material for ice attribute martial artists. Dongfang Binglings sword was forged by the mystic ice jade. To a large extent, the mystic ice jade was even harder to harvest than blood black gold, as most of them were located deep inside the ice sea of the land of the extreme north. There was another thing; inside the card, there were stripes that were moved and danced like dragons. They were actually alive. Yang Dingtian had heard that such high-valued crystal cards required 3 Grandmaster and 10 Master class experts to pour in their mystic qi at the same time to complete the final process. Therefore, only the Heaven Dao Union had the capability to do it. Thats why it was basically impossible to create a forgery of such crystal cards. But right now, these crystal cards were in his hand. Yang Dingtian was filled with unrealistic feelings. This world was truly too insane. A normal farmer could slog for an entire year and wouldnt be able to earn a few gold coins. A wandering martial artist could risk their lives for an entire year and would only be able to earn over 1,000 gold coins. But in this place, the flow of funds was actually by hundreds of millions. In this world, money was almost the most useless thing. To factions like the Northwest Qin City and the Yin Yang Sect, money was issued by them, and they could have as much as they wanted. Power was always the everlasting main topic in this world. ***************************************** Soon enough, it was time for the second last auction item. It was a 1,000-year Ice Frost Sea Demons demon core. The base price was 30 million. Similarly, this was also a priceless treasure. How much would the bid for it go up to? Yang Dingtian recalled about the soul sword that Zhao Wuji forged with that Mystic Fire Qilins demon core. The two were no different from one another, apart from the fact that one was a fire attribute, while the other was ice attribute. Seeing that it was the second last item, it held a highly weightage than Yang Dingtians Transformation Elixir. It was imaginable how precious it was. But that Transformation Elixir earlier seemed to have overdraft everyones enthusiasm. Furthermore, most of the people here held more passion for the final item, the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. Hence, there was actually a weak contest for this priceless demon core. This item might be very precious, but Yang Dingtian didnt have any use for it, thus, he didnt participate in the auction. Yang Dingtian didnt make a bid, neither did Madam Qin, Young Lord Ye, Chief Beigong, or that mysterious No. 100. These few people were the most influential people in this auction. Without their participation, the price was hardly moving up. In the end, this priceless demon core was actually bid by a young lady with an ice-cold voice for the price of 80 million. When Su Meis hammer slammed down, the young lady with the cold voice couldnt help but let out an exclamation that was filled with a pleasant surprise. This young lady was in the No. 9 private room. She was wearing a veil that obscured her looks, but her figure was extremely seductive, just like a willow. *************************************** Next, we will conduct the auction for the last time and also this auctions final highlight, the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art! As soon as Su Mei ended her speech, someone immediately came onto the stage with a jade box. When the box was opened, there was an imposing aura that rushed out from within. Instantly, everyone stood up abruptly and concentrated their eyes on this 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art manual. This manual was actually blood red in color, and it was dazzling. On the surface, there were sharp saber patterns that were golden in color. It was worthy of being an 8th-grade mystic skill saber art. Just the appearance was already impressive. At this moment, Yang Dingtian could already smell the intense gunpowder. The most intensive contest was about to arrive. Yang Dingtian even saw Young Lord Ye walk straight out of the private room with burning eyes. Chief Beigong had shifted his chair to the entrance of his door, as half his body was still inside, while the other half was outside. Inside of Madam Qins No. 1 private room, there was actually a comfortable and luxury couch in which she asked someone to shift out. Afterward, she laid down lazily on the couch, which made her delicate body like a mountain range, which had undulating altitudes. Yang Dingtian could clearly feel the temperature in the hall rising, as the hearts of all the men were racing. Su Mei, who was the host, couldnt help but reveal a trace of jealousy in her beautiful eyes. Madam Qin was truly charming and had her own unconventional way of doing things. S?a?ch* Th? N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. ***************************************** The climax of the auction was imminent. Madam Qin, Young Lord Ye, Chief Beigong, and Yang Dingtian were going to have a final contest and close fight for this 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. But the three of them were in the light, while Yang Dingtian was in the dark. 8th-grade mystic skill, Devil Flame Saber Art. The base price is 50 million gold coins. Is there anyone willing to make the bid! As soon as Su Mei spoke, her beautiful eyes immediately looked towards Yang Dingtian, which was trying to lure him. This was an enchantress. Su Meis voice had fallen silent, and no one made a bid. As this was the final contest between giants, the three bosses werent in a hurry to make a move. As for the others, they were basically here to watch a show. Even after 10 seconds, no one made a bid yet. 50 million and one gold coin. Suddenly there was a teasing voice that echoed from beside Yang Dingtian. It was needless to say that he was here just to watch the show. But since the opening had yet to start after some time, he simply stimulated it. 100 million gold coins. Young Lord Ye was provoked as expected as he immediately made a sky-high bid of 100 million while his eyes were filled with disdain and arrogance. His intention was obvious. This final contest was simply between the three wealthy and influential people. All you other losers should just watch the show and werent qualified to join. Of course, he didnt expect that there was actually Yang Dingtian in the auction hall who was a Hidden Boss. As expected, after Young Lord Ye made the bid of 100 million gold coins, there was a segregation line that didnt allow the others to participate in the fun. 150 million. Chief Beigong said. 160 million. Young Lord Ye. 170 million. Chief Beigong. 190 million! Young Lord Ye yelled out. At this moment, Chief Beigong took a deep breath and gradually withdrew his exposed body and didnt continue bidding. It was as though his entire wealth didnt exceed 190 million. After Young Lord Ye had eliminated a powerful contestant, he revealed a pleased expression. Subsequently, he cast a challenging gaze at Madam Qin, which was filled with a trace of lust and passion. It was very clear how much money Madam Qin had. She had slightly over 200 million, which she originally wanted to use for the Transformation Elixir, but she had failed. This 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art was similarly useless to her. It would be up to her if she were willing to spend this money to obstruct Young Lord Ye. Previously, she had already spent a few tens of millions just to hinder this Young Lord Ye. But right now, this price was a little too high. 200 million. Madam Qin spoke lazily. She actually made a bid just to provide trouble for Young Lord Ye. It seemed like this absolutely stunning, fair, and wealthy woman was extremely bored and was here to look for excitement. Young Lord Ye had already expected it and sneered, 210 million. Immediately after, he looked at Madam Qin with provocative eyes because Madam Qins entire wealth was this 200 million. 240 million. Madam Qin spoke indifferently. Young Lord Yes face instantly changed as he said coldly, Do you really have that much money? Dont think that just because you are the wife of the city lord, you can casually make a bid. Yang Dingtian was astonished. He didnt expect this Madam Qin to be the wife of the West Prefecture City Lord. No wonder she was assigned the No. 1 private room and had overpowering authority indeed. Or it should be said that the Northwest Qin City had overpowering authority indeed. Even the West Prefecture City, which was in the center of the Northwest Continent, was also in the Northwest Qin Citys control. Hearing Young Lord Yes doubt, Madam Qin replied unenthusiastically. I will bid along with my potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir with a half-price of 40 million. Can I not? Of course! But there was a need to go through a detailed evaluation. After all, this high price of 80 million was bid by Madam Qin. If she were to re-sell it, it might not fetch such a price anymore. Madam Qin didnt wish to go through the troublesome evaluation; therefore, she immediately slashed half the price. Furthermore, this potential 8th-grade Beast Soul Elixir should have a market value of 50 million. It was truly forceful to cut it down to 40 million. 240 million! After Madam Qin made a bid with an astronomical figure, everyone instantly looked at Young Lord Ye. The real show was just beginning. The stunning, fair, and wealthy woman was going against the tall, handsome, and wealthy man. In terms of authority, Young Lord Ye should be apprehensive towards Madam Qin, but he too had an enormous backer. Furthermore, this Young Lord Ye seemed only to have slightly more than 200 million too. 250 million! Young Lord Ye yelled out with a cold voice. Everyone was surprised as they didnt expect for this Young Lord Ye to have 250 million. 290 million! Madam Qin sat up on her couch and said delicately. Young Lord Yes face changed drastically as he spoke with a trembling voice, Madam Qin, do you really want to challenge my White Cloud City? Are you not afraid of offending the Mystic Heaven Sect? Madam Qin laid back down and said delicately, What childish words! We are simply purchasing items. How can it be related to offending the Mystic Heaven Sect? Her voice was truly captivating, causing everyones body to turn soft after hearing it. Young Lord Ye laughed due to extreme anger. He then drew out his sharp sword abruptly. Everyone was startled. What was he trying to do? Did he want to resort to violence since he couldnt contest? This was the Heaven Dao Unions auction house, and he was facing the younger sister of the Northwest Emperor, Qin Wanchou, and also the wife of the West Prefecture City Lord. Young Lord Ye might have the Mystic Heaven Sect as a backer, but if he dared to make a move here, it would be the same as courting death. A powerful presence suddenly spread throughout the entire auction hall, causing a stifling sensation. It was needless to say that this was the warning from a Master class expert. Every large-scale auction would have at least two Master class experts to oversee the place. 300 million gold coins! Young Lord Ye slashed at the stairs at the front, instantly crushing the white jade stairs into smithereens. He then used his loudest and most wrathful voice to yell out the astronomical price of 300 million. Chapter 214: Manual Obtained!Dark Horse… Chapter 214: Manual Obtained!Dark Horse...Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Everyone was shocked. 300 million, the bid was actually at 300 million. The Transformation Elixir was extremely rare in the world. To someone who truly required it, they might empty their entire familys fortune to obtain it. But this 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art ultimately had an obvious value, which was around 100 million or so. Right now, it had actually tripled and reached the price of 300 million! After making the bid and seeing everyones astonished expressions, Young Lord Ye instantly laughed and said, 300 million is an astronomical price. Madam Qin, can you continue the bid? Madam Qins enchanting and charming face had turned slightly cold as she questioned, Do you have the money? I have checked and found out that you only have less than 260 million gold coins. Hahaha... Young Lord Ye instantly laughed with insolence and replied, Thats right. I only have less than 260 million. But that 1000-year Ice Frost Sea Demons core was mine. It was sold for 80 million gold coins, and with that, I have more than 300 million. Once the statement was out, everyone immediately understood. At this moment, everyone looked at Young Lord Ye with admiration. The White Cloud City was truly rich and powerful in this world. Subsequently, Young Lord Ye looked at Madam Qin with a proud expression and asked, Madam Qin, do you still wish to increase the bid? Madam Qins expression turned cold as she immediately left! She was indeed a woman. After losing something that she contested for, she immediately left in a fit. When all the men saw her swaying figure walking far away, they couldnt help but feel disappointed. While looking at Madam Qins back view, Young Lord Yes eyes were also filled with lust. ********************************************* Young Lord Ye reluctantly withdrew his eyes from Madam Qins back view after she had completely vanished. He then looked at Su Mei on the stage and said, Alright then, stop playing around. Announce the result. Su Mei said, Young Lord Ye made a bid of 300 million gold coins for the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. Is there a higher bid? Stop dreaming. Young Lord Ye laughed wantonly and said, I have never failed in obtaining the things that I wanted. Hurry up and drop your hammer! Young Lord Ye looked around and enjoyed everyones attention and limitless jealousy. Yang Dingtian asked in his heart, Master, if I am to instantly kill this Young Lord Ye with my bid. Will he hate me so much that he wishes to kill me? Dongfang Niemie replied, Is there even a need to answer this question? His hatred for you will be ten times or even a hundred times more than his hate for Madam Qin! Young Lord Ye made a bid of 300 million gold coins for the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. Is there a higher bid? Su Mei continued saying, I will start the countdown from three. If no one else makes a bid, this 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art will belong to Young Lord Ye. Three! Two! When Su Mei counted until this point, she couldnt help but glare at Yang Dingtian with charming yet furious eyes. Haha... Young Lord Ye laughed insolently and said, This manual is mine. Su Mei, you better listen up. You are also mine! 310 million! Yang Dingtian yelled out indifferently. This was an earth-shattering moment! There was instant death-like silence! Young Lord Yes insolent laughter had suddenly stopped. Everyone looked at the No. 50 private room with complete disbelief. They had assumed that this private room was empty had no one was inside. No one had expected that such an enormous boss was hidden within. 310 million! Even a prestigious faction of the Twenty Seven Branches wouldnt be able to bring out so much money immediately. Everyone assumed that Young Lord Ye and Madam Qin were the greatest bosses here, but who would have known that this mysterious No. 50 was actually the ultimate boss. 310 million. Do you have the money? After all the shock, Young Lord Ye fixed his eyes intently onto Yang Dingtians private room and asked coldly. Before Yang Dingtian could say anything, Su Mei immediately responded, He does. We have checked. Young Lord Yes face turned instantly distorted and sinister. He looked at Yang Dingtians private room and said coldly, Friend, are you sure you want to snatch it from me? His voice was filled with threats and chills. Yang Dingtian remained silent as a clear indication of his intention. Are you truly not afraid of offending my White Cloud City? Young Lord Ye said coldly and was actually issuing a threat. S?a??h th? N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Su Meis petite face turned cold as she said, Young Lord Ye, please mind your words. This is the Heaven Dao Unions auction house! I know! Young Lord Ye yelled out, My White Cloud City is ranked No. 2 in the Heaven Dao Unions Northwest Branch! How can I not know? Immediately after, Young Lord Yes eyes turned even colder and said, Friend, I will ask you one last time. Do you wish to snatch this 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art from me? Yang Dingtian said coldly, This is the auction house. Everyone speaks with their gold coins. Good, good... Young Lord Ye laughed loudly before kicking open the door of the private room and leaving with anger. Su Mei raised her hammer and asked, 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. Is there anyone who has a bid higher than 310 million? Su Mei started the countdown immediately after. Three, Two, One! The 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art is won by guest No. 50. This auction will end officially now! Nobody left as they waited for Yang Dingtian to open up his private room. They wanted to see who exactly it was that actually dared to forcefully snatch the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art from the White Cloud Citys Young Lord and the West Prefecture Citys Madam. But Yang Dingtian didnt have any intention to reveal himself. But, Yang Dingtian was rather curious about the identity of the mysterious man in the No. 100 private room. He wanted to take a look at that mans true appearance. But, the No. 100 private room didnt have any intention to open his door either. At this moment, the auction hall suddenly turned so dark that one couldnt even see their own five fingers. Everyone instantly let out sounds of disappointment. The meaning was obvious... neither Yang Dingtian nor the mysterious man in the No. 100 private room was willing to reveal themselves. Everyone started to leave one after the other. A short moment later, the private room door was opened, and Su Mei walked in. Young Master Shen, who would have expected todays auction to go as you desired. Su Mei said with a delicate voice and handed the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art to Yang Dingtian. That is right... Yang Dingtian gasped. When he grabbed onto the Devil Flame Saber Art manual, he immediately felt a dominant, fiery, and murderous energy penetrating his hand. This 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art was truly tyrannic. Today was indeed overly insane as things took multiple twists and turns. Yang Dingtian originally didnt have any hopes for this 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art, but in the end, it ultimately landed in his hands. Furthermore, it was purchased for the price of 310 million. But, I have also offended two individuals that I shouldnt have offended. Yang Dingtian sighed and said. One of them was Young Lord Ye, and the other was Madam Qin. In West Prefecture City, these two individuals had overwhelming authority. No, you have only offended one. Su Mei giggled. Yang Dingtian said, Young Lord Ye is surely not going to let his matter rest. After I leave the auction hall, will he make a move on me immediately? Su Mei replied with a delicate voice, As long as you stay in our auction houses guest room, he will not dare to make a move on you. But once you leave, he will surely make a move. He has great authority in the West Prefecture City, and he is only apprehensive of the Northwest Qin Clan. While thinking about your life, you better stay in the auction house for eternity. That bastard Ye has also targeted me. As soon as I leave the auction house, I will certainly be harmed by him. The two of us cannot leave this place. That Young Lord Ye, what is his cultivation? Yang Dingtian asked. At least 9-star Martial Mystic. Su Mei replied. Yang Dingtians eyes shrank. This Young Lord Ye shouldnt be more than 28 years old and was already a 9-star Martial Mystic and was already formidable. He was 14 levels superior to Yang Dingtian! With Yang Dingtians current strength and the conditions without his youngling sword, without the Devil Heaven Split, or even the Pig Slaying Sword Art, it was totally impossible for him to defeat a 9-star Martial Mystic expert. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian acted pitifully and asked, Do I truly have to hide in the auction house for my entire life? Su Mei giggled and replied, Dont worry. You just have to hide for ten days or half a month. In half a month, that bastard Ye will have to leave for the Northwest Qin City. What is he going there for? Yang Dingtian was rather surprised. He is sending betrothal gifts to his fiance, the Northwest Qin Clans Fourth Young Lady, Qin Yuyao. Su Mei responded and left the private room along with a whiff of fragrance. **************************************** After leaving the auction hall, Yang Dingtian realized that Young Lord Ye had sent a lot of people as expected. They had surrounded the auction house, and no matter where Yang Dingtian went to, someone would be watching him. It was natural that they didnt dare to make a move in the auction house. It was needless to say that once Yang Dingtian walked out of the auction house, they would kill him and plunder the manual. This White Cloud Citys Young Lord was truly arrogant and despotic. Yang Dingtian had successfully obtained the 8th-grade manual, but escaping was another problem. Chapter 215: To Escape Chapter 215: To EscapeAfter buying all the required materials for the fourth, fifth, and sixth stage of marrow and meridians cleansing, Yang Dingtian had spent a total of over one million gold coins. As for the seventh stage of cleansing, Yang Dingtian would have to wait until he broke through to the Master class. Moreover, those materials couldnt be bought anymore. He would have to find specialized Cleansing Devil Pool to conduct the seventh and eighth stages of cleansing. Such Cleansing Devil Pools were mostly natural, and it would be completely up to luck if one could find it or not. After buying all the materials, Yang Dingtian entered the guest inn of the auction house. Soon enough, the members of the White Cloud City had surrounded the guest inn that Yang Dingtian resided in. All around Yang Dingtians room were packed with members of the White Cloud City. They were behaving brazenly, and it was obvious that Young Lord Ye was determined to obtain the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. Furthermore, as they werent making a move now, the auction house couldnt do anything to them either. After all, the White Cloud City was the No. 2 faction in the Northwest Continents Heaven Dao Union. They naturally didnt wish to offend Young Lord Ye. Yang Dingtian was planning to put on a disguise and leave secretly. By doing so, he would be able to leave without anyone noticing. But Yang Dingtian realized that this option was completely inviable. Since he could feel at least two Martial Ancestor class experts locking onto his qi intent, if this were the case, even if he were to wear a human skin mask and change into an entirely different person, it would still be useless. As long as his qi intent was locked, no matter what he turned into, he would still be recognized. Yang Dingtain was actually going to trap in this place till death. Furthermore, with two Martial Ancestor class experts monitoring him, there was nothing he could do. He could only execute some basic mystic qi breathing cycle as he couldnt even conduct any spiritual tribulation. If he did so, those people simply have to launch a spiritual attack, and Yang Dingtians spirit might just shatter. It was even less possible to conduct the cleansing of marrow and meridians. The cleansing of the marrow and meridians was nearly the most dangerous thing and most stringent on the environment. Even with an experts protection, there must not be any disturbance. Just a hint of disturbance might result in the death by explosion. Right now, Yang Dingtian was surrounded by the experts of the White Cloud City. Furthermore, he didnt have any expert to protect him, and if he were to conduct the cleansing now, it would be the same as seeking death. As for the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art, he must not bring it out to learn. When studying the mystic skill manual, a quiet environment without any mystic qi disturbance was required. If Yang Dingtian were to study the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art now, the two Martial Ancestor class experts simply have to create some spiritual and mystic qi disturbance. Yang Dingtian was guaranteed to go berserk afterward. Thus, the cleansing of the marrow and meridians, and the cultivation of mystic skill must be conducted under the safest environment. For this moment, Yang Dingtian was stuck in the auction house with nothing to do. One day, two days, five days. Yang Dingtian was completely anxious, like fire. The White Cloud Citys Young Lord had already sent a message saying that even if he were going to the Northwest Qin City to propose for marriage, he would still leave men to guard Yang Dingtian closely. He had given Yang Dingtian two choices: First, was to hand over the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art unconditionally. Second, death! At this current moment, Yang Dingtian truly hated this White Cloud Citys Young Lord into his bones. Yang Dingtian had encountered ruthless and vicious people. Ximen Ju and Qin Huaiyu were all Yang Dingtians most vicious and ferocious enemies. But none of them were despicable and presumptuous like Young Lord Ye. He was behaving so brazenly, and after he failed the auction, he actually wanted to murder and snatch the manual. ********************************************* Day after day, the two Martial Ancestor class experts were still locking onto Yang Dingtians qi intent. Yang Dingtian was getting even more impatient. Time was absolutely pressing for him. There were only slightly more than seven months left before the martial contest to determine the city lord position. Yang Dingtian was only a 5-star Great Mystic Martial Master right now. Furthermore, the most important Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame was still uncertain yet. The other half of the map was in the Northwest Qin City. He originally planned to conduct the fourth stage of the marrow and meridian cleansing before learning the third rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art and the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. He would then think of a way to infiltrate the Northwest Qin City. As compared to the other factions, the Northwest Qin City wasnt like a faction; they were more like a country. During these years, the Northwest Qin City had been recruiting talents. As long as one had sufficient influence, they could obtain a high-ranking position in the Northwest Qin Clan. Yang Dingtian originally wanted to use the identity of Shen Lang to infiltrate the Northwest Qin Clan. He would then use his martial strength to climb the ranks in Qin City rapidly. It would be best if he could become the trusted aide of Qin Huaiyu and others. He would then think of a way to obtain the other half of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame. This plan was crazy and very dangerous! But it was the only way. Right now, he was actually trapped in this place because of the bastard Young Lord Ye. He was suspecting that even if he were willing to hand over the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art, Young Lord Ye would still kill him. Because, during the auction, Yang Dingtian had humiliated him in front of everyone. On the tenth day, Yang Dingtian decided to take a risk and rush to the top echelons of the auction house and use the Heaven Dao Unions highest level of code words. He was planning to order the Master class experts to escort him out safely. It was the same situation when he was returning to the Cloud Heaven City from the Land of Chaos. Yang Dingtian looked for the secret hideout of the Heaven Dao Union and used the code word. The Heaven Dao Union didnt hesitate and immediately sent ten experts to escort him back to the Cloud Heaven City. But it was truly different this time. This place wasnt the Land of Chaos and was the West Prefecture City, which was almost fully under the Northwest Qin Clans control. If Yang Dingtian were to recite the Heaven Dao Unions highest level of code words, he would surely be able to escape the grasp of Young Lord ye, but the Northwest Qin Clan would most certainly target him. Once the Northwest Qin Clan paid attention to him, they might suspect that he was Yang Dingtian. Furthermore, Yang Dingtians plan to use Shen Langs identity to infiltrate the Northwest Qin City would have dawdled. There was another possibility. When Yang Dingtian recited the Heaven Dao Unions highest level of code words, the Northwest Qin Clan would naturally think of Yang Dingtian, as Yang Dingtians cord words were all imparted by Dongfang Niemie. They could easily associate this information. Hence, using the highest level of code words to order the Heaven Dao Unions Master class experts to escort him was truly a very dangerous and even fatal method. It might be even more severe than being trapped by Young Lord Ye. Thus, Yang Dingtian truly didnt wish to use this method. Just as Yang Dingtian was hesitating whether he should use this most dangerous method to escape, Su Mei, the shrewd woman, finally visited. Shen Lang, do you wish to escape? Su Mei immediately asked. Of course. Yang Dingtian replied. Right now, he wasnt even pretending to be a wanderer anymore. Alright. Follow me. I will bring you to meet a person. Su Mei said and turned her delicate body before walking outside. Meet who? Yang Dingtian frowned and asked. A person who is totally not afraid of the White Cloud City. Su Mei responded. Who exactly is that? Yang Dingtian asked. This auction houses owner and also my master. Su Mei said, It is up to you if you want to follow me or not. Of course, it will still be up to you if you can escape or not. Su Mei walked out leisurely after speaking. Yang Dingtian followed her out of the room while the two Martial Ancestor class experts spiritual qi intents were following closely too. There was no way to get rid of them. After following Su Mei out of the guest inn, it was already dark outside as it was midnight. The auction houses owner actually asked Su Mei to look for him in the middle of the night. After exiting the guest inn, they went through a giant garden before arriving at the giant castle in front of the auction house. The giant castle was covered in darkness during the middle of the night and was just like an extremely giant monster entrenching in this place. It looked especially sinister and horrific. The giant castle took up a few tens of thousands of surface areas and was dozens of meters in height. Even with Earths modern-day technology, it was still a megastructure. After opening the thick giant doors, there was a sound in the silence of the night, which sounded especially ear-piercing. After walking into the giant hall in the middle, Yang Dingtian wasnt able to see his own fingers and could only follow Su Meis fragrance at the front. The two Martial Ancestor class experts were still following closely, but Su Mei didnt bother. When arriving at the center of the hall, Su Mei took out a piece of flame crystal and ignited it. Instantly, the giant hall was illuminated by a bundle of swaying flame. S~?a??h the ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Under the illumination of the swaying flame, Su Mei got even more mysterious and enchanting. He is here. Su Mei said delicately. A giant pit suddenly split open on the surface of the ground. Lets descend. Su Mei informed and walked at the front as she walked into this deep underground cavern. Yang Dingtian hesitated before walking down too. There was actually a secret underground room, and when Yang Dingtian walked down, there was a commotion above him as the door of the secret room had closed. Yang Dingtian clearly felt that two Martial Ancestor class experts were increasing their speed and chasing over. But, there was an even stronger qi presence that extended out suddenly before a cold voice echoed, You are already at my Masters underground palace. Do you still dare to chase? Hmph! After the grunt... Pfff... The two Martial Ancestor class experts from the White Cloud City vomited fresh blood in unison. They might be reluctant; the two Martial Ancestor class experts still retreated with haste. A single grunt was enough to make two Martial Ancestor class experts vomit blood. Even if this person wasnt at the Master class, he was extremely close to the Master class. The owner of the auction house actually possessed a subordinate that was close to the Master class. How much more formidable must the owner be? ************************************* After Yang Dingtian entered this small underground room, he continued to descend instantly and rapidly. This underground room was actually similar to the elevators on Earth, but this world didnt have any elevators. To produce this effect, one would have to rely completely on energy crystals. Just this elevator was already exaggeratingly expensive. The elevator secret room continued to descend and descend. A few dozen meters to over a hundred meters! After a hundred meters later, the secret room elevator finally stopped. A door immediately opened. Follow me. Look at the ground and dont look anywhere else. Su Mei whispered. Su Mei led at the front and lowered her head. She didnt even dare to breathe loudly and didnt dare to make any noise while walking. Yang Dingtian followed her and vaguely walked across a long hallway in darkness, which was around 30 meters. Afterward, it was a long flight of stairs that had over 100 steps. Finally, they arrived at a thick and massive door. Even though they were in darkness, they would faintly feel the mesmerizing radiance from the door. After pushing the door open, Su Mei spoke with the utmost respect, Master, I have brought Shen Lang here. Chapter 216: Queen of Underground Chapter 216: Queen of UndergroundThe Master on the inside didnt give any response. You may enter. Su Mei said. Afterward, Yang Dingtian strode inside. His leg instantly went soft as though he was stepping on clouds. Without a doubt, he was stepping on the worlds most expensive carpet, which was knitted with the fur of the Sky Mountain Camel. Every foot would be a few thousand gold coins. Huff... Suddenly the dark space had lit up! It was extremely dazzling and had stung Yang Dingtians eyes. It was even brighter than the twin suns during the daytime. Yang Dingtian couldnt bear but shrink his eyes. Immediately after, his eyes opened up abruptly, as he stared at everything in front of him with disbelief. Was this the treasure room of the Dragon King? Was he at the palace of the Divine Dragon? Wherever Yang Dingtians eyes could see, there were gold, jewels, extremely expensive crystals, and mystical corals that could be found hundreds of thousands of meters into the sea. There were extremely expensive pearls and countless high-grade demonic beasts demon cores. Every inch the eyes could see was filled with luster and splendor; every inch of space was oozing with light. This was an absolutely gigantic underground palace. All of the utensils were made with expensive craftwork of gems. The entire surface of the ground was made with gold. All the chairs and couches were made with purple gold. All of the pillars were also made of gold. Countless gold coins which were unending. Countless amethyst coins which were also unending like the ocean. Countless gold and treasures that stacked several thousand square meters of the palace. Yang Dingtian was suspecting if the entire worlds wealth had been amassed in this underground palace. My wealth here is enough for the entire Northwest Continent to pay tax for a century. A hoarse and attractive face echoed. This was the owner of this underground palace and also the owner of this auction house. S~?a??h the N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. When hearing this attractive voice, Yang Dingtian shivered as it sounded familiar. Yang Dingtian looked towards the source of the voice. In the center of the palace hall, there was an enormous golden throne which took up several square meters. It used at least a few tens of thousands of kilograms of gold and countless gems as decoration. It had brilliant sculpting and engraving, which allowed the golden throne to emit a noble and imposing aura. A woman was sitting on this golden throne on her side. She was a woman that looked like a devil but also a fairy. Under the golden radiance and behind the thin silk, she was faintly visible and looked extremely mesmerizing. She had a remarkably stunning face and a pair of captivating eyes. She was actually Madam Qin, that Madam Qin who left the auction in a fit. I am Qin Mengli, the owner of this underground palace, the owner of this auction house, and the true dictator of West Prefecture City. This woman raised her shoulders lightly and spoke in a hoarse voice, Thats right, I am the one that offered the Sky Devil Flame Saber and 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art for the auction. Yang Dingtian was stunned. This woman was well-versed in acting. During the auction, when she left in a fit because she couldnt bid for the Devil Flame Saber Art, it looked so real. She was actually the owner for everything here, and the entire auction house belonged to her. I simply wanted to play with those fools on the auction. I was just too bored. Qin Mengli spoke delicately. Yang Dingtian was completely speechless. He was also considered half a fool that got played by her. I heard that you are being trapped by that clown, Ye Feng. As soon as you leave this place, you will be killed, and the manual will be snatched? Qin Mengli asked with a charming voice. When mentioning that Young Lord Ye, her tone raised up slightly as though she was a queen that was in control of the world. Yes, Madam. Yang Dingtian responded. Do you wish to live and to escape? Madam Qin asked lazily. Of course. Yang Dingtian said. In another two days, I will be going to Qin City to celebrate my elder brothers birthday. It is truly boring during the journey, and I need a companion. If you are to become my temporary companion, that clown, Ye Feng wont dare to touch even half of your finger. In the entire Northwest Continent, apart from me, no one would dare to touch you. Madam Qin spoke with her hoarse voice and sent a captivating look at Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtians heart thumped abruptly. He wanted to infiltrate the Qin City and obtain the other half of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flames map. Becoming the companion of this Qin Mengli could be said as the best method. If he went with his original plan to rise in the ranks and enter the eyes of Qin Huaiyu and others while becoming their trusted aide was truly a difficult task and would need an unknown amount of time. Even if Yang Dingtian could cultivate to the Martial Mystic class, there were tons of martial artists in the Qin City of the same cultivation class. If Yang Dingtian wanted to become outstanding among them, it would be extremely difficult. This Qin Mengli could be said as the No. 3 individual of the Northwest Qin Clan. If he could become her companion, he could immediately enter the highest echelon of the Qin City. This way, Yang Dingtian would save a considerable amount of time trying to obtain the other half of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flames map, and the chances would be greater. As for the possibility of sacrificing his dignity, apart from the fact that he was guilty towards Yanyan in his heart, Yang Dingtian wasnt so unreasonable and thought himself to be a holy monk. Are you willing to be my companion for roughly half a month? Qin Mengli asked. Of course, I am willing. I will die to have the chance. Yang Dingtian replied. I dont want you to die. I just want you to satisfy me. Qin Mengli spoke tenderly, But, it still isnt enough for you to agree. It is still uncertain if I fancy you? You have a competitor, and it is that mysterious man from No. 100 private room. He had spent 250 million gold coins and a Dragon Dance Nine Heavens flying scroll to bid for your Transformation Elixir. Do you know why? Yang Dingtian said, He had bid it as a gift for you. Thats right... Qin Mengli said, I was determined to obtain this Transformation Elixir. When he snatched it away, I was spiteful that my teeth were itching. But afterward, he personally gave it to me and had pleasantly surprised me. Furthermore, he is much more handsome than you, and I am truly affected. Come out then, my darling. Qin Mengli clapped lightly. From a dark corner, a man walked out. This was that mysterious man from No. 100 private room. He was tall and muscular. His entire body was filled with mysterious yet unrestrained aura. He didnt have those extremely handsome face, but he was filled with manliness. His eyes contained a wild and dangerous feeling. He was 190 cm in height, and his entire body was bursting with power. He was an homme fatale with attractiveness for women. He was filled with more charm than Yang Dingtian, who was currently disguised at Shen Lang. Shen Lang, Yan Bieqin, among the two of you, only one will become my companion. To be honest, I am more aroused by Bieqin. Had it not been for Su Meis persistently imploring, I wouldnt even see you. Right now, I am giving you a fair chance to compete. In 15 minutes, you have to defeat your opponent and gain my affection. You will then become my companion and accompany me for half a month. ******************************* Yang Dingtian nearly wanted to blurt out without thinking, but abruptly stopped himself. He knew what he was capable of. In terms of pure charm, he was inferior to this Yan Bieqin. Be it looks, traits, or the methods to pursue a woman, even a mans capability, Yang Dingtian felt inferior in all aspects. Yang Dingtian couldnt possibly say that he had a lot of inner qualities. He also couldnt say that he was unique in this world and had come from another world. That would be the same as inviting a disaster. Furthermore, that Yan Bieqin was simply looking at Yang Dingtian from the corner of his eyes. He was filled with self-confidence and didnt even treat Yang Dingtian as an opponent. Compete in front of me. You can decide how to compete. Madam Qin turned her body lazily and spoke delicately. This Yan Bieqin finally spoke, Brother Shen may suggest whatever you wish to compete. Martial artists, art, poetry, geology, anything... even bed skills. Yang Dingtian was speechless; there was nothing he could win with. Of course, in terms of poetry, he had plenty of famous sayings from ancient China in his mind. Any one of them would be a perfect song. But, this worlds language and literature were different from ancient China. Those so-called poetries were more than songs and less of poems. Hence, if Yang Dingtian was to hum a tune of Prelude To Water Melody, it was almost certain that people would think he was a lunatic. Shen Lang, have you thought of a way to compete? Madam Qin yawned and said, I do not have so much time to wait for you. Yang Dingtian said, I have thought of one. What are you going to compete with? Madam Qin asked. We will compete with games. Yang Dingtian said, I will design a game, Brother Yan will design a game. Whichever game Madam thinks is better, will win. Madam Qins beautiful eyes lit up when she heard of this idea. To be honest, she wasnt looking for a companion because she lacked men. How could she lack men? Countless handsome men would be willing to queue up to be her pet. She was just feeling bored. Thus, Yang Dingtians idea was just her cup of tea. She was truly worried that Yang Dingtian was just like those men who considered themselves outstanding and would compete with sword arts, or things like poetry. Alright, the competition will be on this. Madam Qin agreed. Yang Dingtian suggested, Then we will set four hours as the limit. Within these four hours, the two of us will design our games with tools and such. Yan Bieqin took a deep glance at Yang Dingtian before nodding and said, Sure. Madam Qin said, If you need to produce tools. I have everything here. You can make use of anything. Yang Dingtian said, Thanks, Madam. I wish to invite Young Lady Su Mei to assist me. No problem. Madam Qin let out a lovely smile. As I said, anything can be used as a tool. That naturally includes Su Mei! This statement was truly rude. Su Mei was a human but was addressed as a tool. But Su Mei didnt have any opinions about that. ******************************************* In one of the rooms, there were various kinds of gems, gold, silver, and anything that was required. Yang Dingtian was sitting on the chair and thinking about the kind of game he should design. Su Mei stood beside and looked at him nervously. Do you think I can win? Yang Dingtian laughed and asked. Who will think you can win? Su Mei smiled and said, I feel that Yan Bieqin is much more charming. She was rather good that telling the truth. Chapter 217: Battle with Rival in Love (Part 1) Chapter 217: Battle with Rival in Love (Part 1)Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian let out a smile without paying any mind. However, Su Mei then said, Alright, I do hope you win. That Yan Bieqin might be handsome, cool, and mysterious, but it seems like he has a hidden scheme. It is unknown what his objective is for approaching Madam. It is too dangerous. Are you not afraid that I might have ulterior motives for approaching your Madam? Yang Dingtian asked. Did you previously know that Madam Qin was the owner of the auction house? Su Mei asked. Yang Dingtian shook his head. Did you previously know that Madam Qin was the true dictator of the entire West Prefecture City? Su Mei questioned again. Yang Dingtian shook his head again. That is why. Su Mei laughed delicately and said, If you dont know anything, how can you have any motive? You are just like the other men who are attracted to Madams authority and beauty. Immediately after, Su Mei took a deep glance at Yang Dingtian and hesitated like she had something to say. What did you want to say? Yang Dingtian asked. Su Mei turned her face to the other side and said, It doesnt matter which one of you wins, the winner will only be able to accompany the Madam for half a month. She is a person that enamor with new people. Thus, to the Madam, your result is a minor matter, but to me, it is a matter that will decide my fate. So, I hope that you can win. Do you understand? Yang Dingtian was instantly astonished as he didnt understand the meaning of Su Meis words. Alright, what kind of game are you designing? What tools do you need? Have you already thought about it? Su Mei said, That Yan Bieqin seems very formidable and he had wandered the world too. He must be proficient in games. So, your game must be sufficiently stunning to win against him. I have already thought about it. Yang Dingtian said, It might not be stunning, but it is sufficiently long, and when Madam is extremely bored, she can even play alone. Shameless. When Su Mei heard Yang Dingtians words, she immediately pinched Yang Dingtian and blushed. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but get astonished. What exactly was she thinking? I can tell you that doing those things will surely fail. Su Mei spoke with a red face, Just in this underground palace, there is nothing that cannot be found. Moreover, they are made with brilliant craftsmanship. So, you better stop with your skewed ideas, or you will definitely lose. Yang Dingtian finally understood what Su Mei was thinking about and was utterly speechless. What kind of rubbish are you thinking about? Go, find one square-shaped golden plate which is about one foot on all sides. Also, help me find two pieces of soft gems that are slightly bigger. One of them should be white, and the other should be black. Su Mei immediately turned around and walked into the warehouse to take the things that Yang Dingtian wanted. A golden square plate and two large pieces of gems, one white and one black. Yang Dingtian picked up a sword and drew lines on the golden plate. There were a total of 19 lines horizontally and vertically. Every line had an equal distance between them. Afterward, he used a sharp sword to cut the gems into small pieces. There were 181 black pieces and 180 white pieces. Finally, he used mystic qi on his finger to grind off the rough edges of the small pieces and made them all oblate and smooth. Thats right. Yang Dingtian was making Go, a game that no one would get sick from playing. Five-in-a-row should be simpler, but with Madam Qins absolute intelligence and deep schemes, the boundless game of Go should be to her liking. Is it done? Su Mei asked. Yang Dingtian nodded. Su Mei instantly frowned and said, What is so fun about this thing? It looks so simple and boring. You are going to lose for sure. That might not be the case. Yang Dingtian commented. The game of Go might be overly complicated for most people, but it surely wasnt boring. If Madam Qin didnt like the complexity of Go, it could be used as Five-in-a-row, which was simpler and sufficiently interesting. *************************************** Four hours passed by very quickly. Yang Dingtian carried the game and a long scroll of game rules before entering Madam Qins private chamber again. At this moment, Qin Mengli was still in her sweet dreams, while that Yan Bieqin was already standing and waiting by the side while holding a box. He looked rather pale, and it seemed that he had consumed an incredible amount of energy. But his charm wasnt affected at all. Seeing the item in Yang Dingtians hand, Yan Bieqin immediately revealed a trace of disdain in his eyes. This person was truly arrogant and straightforward. It is already time? This nap was truly dull as well. Qin Mengli woke up inside the beaded curtain and opened her charming eyes before stretching her body. Have the two of you designed your games? Qin Mengli asked. It is already done, Madam. Yang Dingtian and Yan Bieqin answered. Qin Mengli asked, Which of you shall present first? Let me go first. Yan Bieqin said, After Madam plays my game, you might not need to play other games. This Yan Bieqin was truly arrogant. Alright, you shall start first. Qin Mengli spoke tenderly, I do like to see if such a good-looking man, like you, actually has some incredible ideas. I will not let Madam down. Yan Bieqin responded. Immediately after, he walked in front of Qin Menglis couch and put down the giant box. Yang Dingtian was also filled with curiosity. What kind of game would Yan Bieqin present? When the box was opened, there was a nearly transparent jade board on the inside. It was covered with extremely complicated patterns, and those mystical patterns were rushing around on the board. Yang Dingtian might not know what this thing was, but it still looked very valuable and rare. This is the Mystic Enchanting Jade? Qin Mengli cried out in surprise while her beautiful eyes were instantly lit up. Madam has great eyes. Yan Bieqin said. Su Mei instantly leaned over to Yang Dingtians ear and whispered, Just his Mystic Enchanting Jade is enough for you to lose. Yang Dingtian looked at this piece of Mystic Enchanting Jade and was amazed in his heart. Who exactly was this Yan Bieqin? He was actually able to obtain such a huge piece of Mystic Enchanting Jade. It was one foot in size. This Mystic Enchanting Jade was a kind of lifeform, but it was a rock without a soul. When it was born, it was a lump of energy. After hundreds of years to one thousand years, it would turn into an active fluid. After another hundred to one thousand years, it would then turn into a transparent jade solid form. Just a fist-size would be priceless, but Yan Bieqin actually possessed such a large piece. This items greatest usage was for reconstructing a soul. When every high-classed martial artist was cultivating their martial soul, they would need to use the Mystic Enchanting Jade because after a demonic beast was refined into a martial soul, there wont be any place for the martial soul to reside in. Hence, they would have to put the martial soul into this Mystic Enchanting Jade temporarily. Afterward, the martial artist would carry this Mystic Enchanting Jade with the martial soul and conduct a long-term mutual nurturing. This way, the martial soul would gradually recognize its owner. When the martial artist could control the martial soul in battle as they desired, it would become a true martial soul. Thus, most of the time, martial artists would forge the Mystic Enchanting Jade into sword hilts, armors, or wristbands. This would guarantee that the martial soul would spend time with the martial artist at every moment. Furthermore, the longer the age of the Mystic Enchanting Jade, the larger the surface area, which meant that it could contain even more powerful martial souls. It meant that this Mystic Enchanting Jade, which Yan Bieqin offered, had a value that exceeded the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art that Yang Dingtian had obtained. This Madam Qin might be one of the wealthiest people in the world, but she was still amazed when she saw the giant Mystic Enchanting Jade that Yan Bieqin presented. To tell the truth, she had never seen such a huge Mystic Enchanting Jade before. That was why Su Mei immediately told Yang Dingtian he was going to lose. Withdrawing her amazed eyes, Qin Mengli said, Darling, this is not a presentation of treasure but the design of the game. It is a game. Yan Bieqin laughed and said, Will Madam please put your hand on this Mystic Enchanting Jade? What are you doing? Qin Mengli rolled her eyes at him and placed her snow-white hand on the Mystic Enchanting Jade. Please pour in a little bit of your mystic qi and also your spirit into the Mystic Enchanting Jade. Yan Bieqin explained. Madam Qin revealed a curious expression and acted according to Yan Bieqins instruction as she poured in her mystic qi and spirit. Instantly, a miracle happened. There was a pink radiance that started to gather on the Mystic Enchanting Jade. In the beginning, it was pale, then it got concentrated and brighter. Finally, the radiance formed a small delicate figure, and it was actually Qin Mengli. It was a five-inches tall Qin Mengli. But in terms of appearance and figure, it looked exactly the same as Qin Mengli. It might be only five-inches tall, but it was lively and charming. S?a?ch* Th? N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Eh... At this moment, not only Qin Mengli, even Su Mei and Yang Dingtian were revealing expressions of surprise and disbelief. Madam, you can use your spirit to control this miniature Madam Qin. Yan Bieqin explained. Madam Qin acted accordingly and used her spirit to control this miniature figure. Suddenly, the miniature figure on the Mystic Enchanting Jade started to dance. The movements were wonderful, and the postures were elegant. It floated and fluttered around on the jade board. It looked magnificent and was alluring. At this same moment, Yan Bieqin had also poured in his mystic qi and spirit into the Mystic Enchanting Jade. Instantly, a miniature Yan Bieqin appeared on the jade board. It was also about five-inch tall and looked exactly the same as Yang Bieqin. Subsequently, the two miniature figures shared a dance on the jade board. They appeared to have a vague relationship, as one would retreat while the other advanced with resistance and bashfulness. Madam Qin had alluring dance movements, while Yan Bieqin had elegant and teasing dance moves, while his eyes were filled with aggressiveness. The duo was getting closer to each other, and the atmosphere was getting passionate. Qin Menglis face had even revealed a trace of blush. To be truthful, she already forgot how long ago she had been this shy. Finally, on the jade board, Yan Bieqin made a turn with his arms and was about to embrace Qin Mengli. Qin Menglis miniature figure gently avoided and rapidly retreated before vanishing into the jade board. Afterward, Madam Qins small hand left the Mystic Enchanting Jade before she rolled her eyes at Yan Bieqin and said, Such a rare treasure was actually turned into a toy to please a woman. Arent you afraid you might invite the wrath of heavens? Chapter 218: Battle with Rival in Love (Part 2) Chapter 218: Battle with Rival in Love (Part 2)Thats right. He had no idea that the huge Mystic Enchanting Jade would be able to store such a strong martial soul. It was indeed an invaluable and priceless treasure. However, it had actually been turned into a game by Yan Bieqin. Once the mystic qi and soul spirit was infused into it, it would lose all of its function. It could no longer be used to refine the martial soul. Yan Bieqins gaze was burning in passion while he spoke gently, Im willing to even pluck down the stars for the sake of Madam. At this moment, Su Meis eyes had also turned moist as she spoke to Yang Dingtian, Stop comparing. You are bound to lose. Yang Dingtian sighed in his heart as he replied, Yan Bieqin, youre goddamn ruthless when it comes to flirting with a woman. Such a huge Mystic Enchanting Jade would be sufficient to exchange for four to five eighth-grade mystic skill manuals. Now, it was actually used to exchange for a womans smile. As the saying goes, One had to squander to be romantic. Yet, women wouldnt be able to stand this. It was very clear that Qin Mengli was extremely fond of this object. Her beautiful eyes were filled with splendor as she stroked the Mystic Enchanting Jade admiringly. She had completely forgotten that Yang Dingtian was still standing beside her. Qin Mengli only remembered Yang Dingtian after a few minutes as she looked over to him, Oh right, Shen Lang, wheres your game? Yang Dingtian went forward and placed the chessboard and chess pieces before Qin Mengli. Followingly, he offered the manual that was filled with thousands of words for her as well. The game Im offering is the game of Go. Its something the Madam can use to pass the time. Yang Dingtian commented. Madam Qin picked up the piece of silk that was filled with Gos rules and looked over it slowly. She yawned after looking over it for a while as if her interest had run dry. Only after dozens of minutes did Madam Qin finish reading the Go rules. Amid her reading, she had yawned more than ten times as if she were about to fall asleep. Immediately, Su Mei felt that Yang Dingtian no longer held any chances. Meanwhile, Yan Bieqins eyes became even more disdainful as he smiled coldly. After Madam Qin read finished, she looked towards Yang Dingtian with her beautiful eyes, Shen Lang, did you create this game of Go yourself? Yang Dingtian replied, Yes, Madam. Madam Qin continued, I can tell that the rules are extremely complicated. Im afraid there are innumerable ways one could play with it. How did you think of this? Yang Dingtian replied, After wandering the world alone for many years, I played mind games with myself to pass these lonely times. Madam Qin commented, What do you feel about your skills? Yang Dingtian continued, Not sure because I had only played against myself. Madam Qin replied, You created this game. Therefore, you ought to be extremely good at it. Yang Dingtian shook his head, Not necessarily so. I created it but couldnt grasp hold of it. Others might be even better than me. Madam Qin replied, In any case, since we are idling, why not play a game with me? Yes, Madam. Yang Dingtian agreed. After which, Yang Dingtian sat down onto the couch and started to play Go with Madam Qin. S~?a??h the N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. ************************************** This Madam Qin was truly exceptional. She had actually memorized all the rules after reading it just once. Furthermore, she had mastered it completely. However, from the start, she wasnt really careful with her moves. She had to retreat in defeat continuously under the intensive attacks from Yang Dingtian. This woman was smart. Furthermore, she was proud and arrogant. When she saw that she had been forced to such a miserable state, she couldnt help but feel unresigned. Gradually, she became more attentive and engrossed. After playing it for a while, Qin Mengli became even more engrossed and attentive. During the latter part, she had even forgotten about her bearings and grace as her face began to reveal her nervousness, indignant, confusion, contemplation, and many other emotions. Ultimately, she had simply placed all her mind and body into the game and no longer concealed her emotions. Furthermore, she had completely forgotten about the elapse of time momentarily. Although Madam Qin became extremely focused and engrossed in the game in the latter half, it was still her first time playing it. Yang Dingtians chess skills werent very weak, either. Therefore, Madam Qin lost by eight chess pieces in the first round. After she lost, Madam Qin sunk into contemplation. After which, she looked towards Yang Dingtian and inquired, I made a lot of mistakes for the first game. I will prevent myself from making these mistakes in the following games. Lets have another round. The moment she spoke out such words, Su Mei immediately revealed a surprised expression. These black and white chess pieces were actually so interesting? Meanwhile, Yan Bieqins eyes had also revealed a surprised and worried expression. ************************************** Madam Qin started to play the second round together with Yang Dingtian. This round, Madam Qin got even more absorbed. Furthermore, every step she took would be done only after careful contemplation. Her whole body and mind had completely sunk into the game of Go. She had completely forgotten about Yan Bieqin and Su Mei, who were beside her. During the time when she was playing the game of Go, she would suddenly cheer excitedly, get angry and unresigned, or stuck in contemplation. In short, all of her focus and heart had been placed onto this very small chessboard. But even so, she still lost the second game. She lost by six chess pieces to Yang Dingtian. This wont do. Again. Madam Qin argued, This round, I made a lot of new mistakes. Another round. I dont believe that I will lose again. Immediately, she swept all the chess pieces away as she started to separate the white and black chess pieces before starting another round impatiently. At this moment, Su Mei couldnt help but speak out, Madam, its already noon. Its time to eat. Why do I have to eat? Not eating. I will eat after I win. Madam Qin replied. Su Mei continued to persuade her. Immediately, Madam Qin cried out in anger, Am I the mistress, or are you? After which, she impatiently placed her first chess piece down before speaking to Yang Dingtian, Quick, its your turn. Hurry up... Yang Dingtian smiled slightly before playing against her for the third round. In the third game of Go, Madam Qin became more anxious and impatient. She made even more mistakes, causing her to lose even more. Immediately, she lost by nine chess pieces to Yang Dingtian. Immediately, Madam Qin grew flustered and exasperated. She pulled out the jade hairpin that was on top of her hair, allowing her beautiful hair to strike down. Her beautiful eyes grew very red as she stared at the chessboard unwaveringly. She also felt that her long sleeves are in a hindrance as she tore them apart as she spoke hurriedly, Why did I lose even more for the third game? This wouldnt do. Again, again! I have to win against you today. Su Mei, who was beside her, couldnt help but speak out, Madam, the sky had already turned dark. Its time for dinner. Not eating, not eating... Madam Qin rebuked, I had lost so badly. Why should I eat? Subsequently, Madam Qin grabbed hold onto Yang Dingtians hand, Again, again. Youre not to leave until I win. Yang Dingtian struggled free from Madam Qins jade fingers and replied, Madam, we will play again tomorrow. If this continues, Im afraid you will lose even more. What you need to do now is to calm yourself down and think over it for some time before continuing. Really? Madam Qin inquired. Really. Yang Dingtian affirmed. Madam Qins beautiful eyes were still filled with unwillingness as she inhaled a deep breath of air, Alright, we shall have another match tomorrow. However, you are not allowed to leave. You will stay here. Yang Dingtian was startled as he replied, I shall abide by your request then. At this moment, Su Meis eyes were filled with admiration and disbelief for Yang Dingtian. Madam, who shall be considered the winner for this competition? Su Mei inquired. Only then did Madam Qin remember that Yang Dingtian and Yan Bieqin were having a competition. Immediately, her beautiful eyes looked towards Yang Dingtian profoundly, You, this Shen Lang is not a good person since you had thought of this enticing game to torture me. Yang Dingtian smiled slightly and kept his silence. Followingly, Madam Qins beautiful eyes looked towards Yan Bieqin. Her beautiful eyes were filled with reluctance as she spoke, Hubby Yan, your Mystic Enchanting Jade is really good and is a marvelous creation excelling in nature. But unfortunately, I would at most play it for two to three days before losing interest in it. As for Shen Langs game of Go, Im afraid I would never be able to master it in a lifetime. I prefer a man who is as complex as the ocean. Therefore, Im sorry. Its Shen Langs victory for the competition this time. Yan Bieqins expression changed as he bowed, Bieqin understands, and I accept my loss. However, the love I have for Madam would never change. I shall take my leave... After he spoke, Yan Bieqin turned around immediately and left. Qin Mengli stared at his rearview, and the reluctance in her beautiful eyes grew even denser. This Yan Bieqin was really a ferocious hoodlum. He didnt even bother to be in a tangle after he lost but left immediately. Instead, this caused his impression to become even deeper within Qin Menglis heart. Very clearly, he was scheming for the future. After Yan Bieqin had left, Qin Mengli smiled at Yang Dingtian, From today onwards, youre my temporary companion. The time I fire you will be the time you make me lose my interest in you. Now, you shall accompany me to have a meal together. ********************************* For the subsequent days, Yang Dingtian would frequently accompany Qin Mengli to play the game of Go. Indeed, Qin Menglis intelligence was extremely brilliant. On the fifth day, it was Yang Dingtians first loss to her. From then on, things started to get out of hand. Yang Dingtian started to suffer defeat in every battle. Furthermore, the number of chess pieces he lost grew even more overtime. Thus, Qin Mengli became more and more uninterested in playing the game of Go against Yang Dingtian. Chapter 219: It All Depends on Your Performance! Chapter 219: It All Depends on Your Performance!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales On the ninth day, Yang Dingtian lost by a total of five chess pieces. Qin Mengli threw the chess pieces back into the box uninterestedly and spoke hoarsely, Shen Lang, the game you created is very interesting. However, your skills are extremely weak. Are you really the creator of this game? Of course. Yang Dingtian replied, I had said so previously. Although I had created this game, my skills arent the best, and it could only be counted as an average standard. Yan Bieqin had only heard of the game rules, yet his skills are already better than yours after contemplating it for a few days. Madam Qin spoke languidly, We had played three games together and among the three games, he won one of it. Your skills are so ordinary. I really cannot help but suspect if you are the creator of this game. Yang Dingtian was immediately startled. This Yan Bieqin was really a lingering spirit. Furthermore, he totally had no idea that even after Qin Mengli had made her decision, she still called out to Yan Bieqin. It could be seen how appealing this man was to her. Without a doubt, Yan Bieqins Go skills had already exceeded Qin Mengli. However, he would only choose to win a game among the best of three purposely. From the beginning to the end, he would leave Qin Mengli in suspense so that she would not lose her interest so quickly. Furthermore, Yan Bieqins intelligence was too terrifying, as well. He had only understood the rules and played against himself for a few days. After which, he was actually able to win against Qin Mengli. Besides, Qin Menglis Go skills were not weak, either. At the very least, it had greatly exceeded Yang Dingtian. Moreover, Yang Dingtians Go skills were actually among the top few in the co-curricular class in his university. From here, he was able to tell how determined he was in pursuing Qin Mengli. Perhaps, it could be said that there was a very big scheme behind it. As to what the scheme was, no one knew. Qin Mengli looked at Yang Dingtian amusedly, What? You arent going to explain yourself? Immediately, Yang Dingtian smiled coldly, Did Yan Bieqin also get you to question me on this? What is he trying to achieve? Furthermore, why didnt he come and question me himself? Instead, he had to rely on your mouth. Since you had asked for me, I shall come out. Yan Bieqin walked in and looked at Yang Dingtian, I really doubt that you create this game of Go. You merely copied someone elses work. I simply cannot believe that the person who created such a profound and complex game would possess such a weak skill in playing it. Yang Dingtian shook his head and smiled coldly towards Qin Mengli, Do you think so as well? It doesnt matter to me. Qin Mengli replied, Its just that if it is so, Im really very disappointed! Haha... Yang Dingtian rose his head and laughed before speaking to Su Mei, who was at the side, Bring me the jade board and jade stones. Su Mei glanced at Qin Mengli before turning around to fetch the jade board and jade stones over. He took a total of three jade boards and dozens of different kinds of jade stones. Immediately, Madam Qin couldnt help but glance at Su Mei. Although Su Mei didnt speak, one could tell from her action that she was clearly on the side of Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian held a jade board over and sliced it into a square. Subsequently, he cut out 32 checkboxes on the left and right sides, respectively. The middle was left blank before he craved three-letter words, Land of Chaos. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian extracted out 16 pieces of circular chess pieces from a big red jade stone using his sword. Then, he extracted out another 16 pieces of circular chess piece from the big black jade stone using his sword as well. Every chess piece was approximately an inch in size. Thats right; he was trying to create Chinese chess. However, the words on it couldnt be craved similar to what earth had used. Red represented the Heaven Dao Union while black represented Evil Dao. Therefore, the Marshal represented the Union Lord, and General represented the Demon Lord. The Advisors remained as guardians because there were similar ways of addressing them in this world. They are equivalent to the advisor status. It was just that he had used the words from this world. Bishop remained as bishops. They were equivalent to Chief Manager Wus position from the Ximen headquarters. There was no Cannon in this world. However, there were Devil Crystal Violent Crossbows. They were somewhat equivalent to cannons. The Knight could be changed into formidable mounts that were demonic beasts. And the most crucial Rook will be changed into formation! Because in this world, the most destructive power came from a big formation that was formed by dozens of experts. Previously on the ocean, Dongfang Bingling, Zhu Hongxue as well as dozens of Yin Yang Sect disciples formed a Yin Yang Great Formation. It had almost killed the Grandmaster class expert, Ximen Wuya. Before that, Ximen Wuya had already fully exhausted his mystic qi and was badly injured. As for the Soldier and Pawn, he could just carve them out according to the words used in this world. After finishing the version of Chinese chess from this world, Yang Dingtian started to introduce the rules of Chinese chess. After he spoke, Yang Dingtian arranged the chess pieces accordingly and pushed them towards Yan Bieqin, Come, lets have a match. Yan Bieqin frowned slightly. However, he still nodded his head because the rules of Chinese chess werent complicated. He had more or less memorized them after Yang Dingtian had narrated them once. Yang Dingtian didnt say anything further and made his move immediately. Yan Bieqin thought for a moment before starting as well. Merely 25 steps later, Yang Dingtian obtained the victory. He had checkmated Yan Bieqins Demon Lord. After the game, Yang Dingtian looked at Yan Bieqin coldly and commented, This Chinese chess, have you played it before? Yan Bieqin shook his head, Nope. Yang Dingtian continued, Then have you heard of it before? Yan Bieqin continued to shake his head, No. Similarly, this Chinese chess was also created by me. Yang Dingtian replied coldly, However, after a dozen games later, you will surpass me. Do you know why? Im listening. Yan Bieqin replied. Some people can plan according to strategy difficulty. Regardless of how complex and profound the strategy was, they would still be able to design them out. However, once they were baited into the strategy, he would become extremely bad at it. This could only imply that he possesses the ability to plan according to the situation but might not necessarily have the ability to fight for the city or land. This is similar to an aloof phoenix. It could fly above the Nine Heavens and look at the ground and mountains as it could have a panoramic view of all the mountain paths in all directions. However, once its wings were to break and fall onto the mountain, it would lose its way. Yang Dingtian narrated, Is this reasoning clear enough for you? Once the reasoning was made, Qin Menglis beautiful eyes sparkled. Very clearly, she was convinced by Yang Dingtians reasoning to the point that it had moved her. Furthermore, the reasoning behind this harbored unfathomable meaning. Yang Dingtian had made himself look like he was a genius that was able to plan according to situations while Yan Bieqin was someone who could only charge and fight. Clearly, Yan Bieqin could also sense the meaning behind Yang Dingtians words. However, he couldnt find any words to rebuke momentarily. Immediately, he smiled candidly as he bowed at Yang Dingtian, Brother Shen is really talented. Yan Bieqin has benefited from your advice. After which, Yan Bieqin spoke to Qin Mengli, Madam, its me who had gauged the heart of a gentleman with ones own mean measure. Sorry! I shall take my leave! Subsequently, he actually turned around and left. It was extremely straightforward and decisive. **************************************** Yang Dingtian could sense that this person was certainly a formidable opponent. When he saw that the situation was not advantageous to him, he would never continue to be in a tangle with it. Yang Dingtian continued to arrange the chess pieces and spoke to Qin Mengli, Madam, I will accompany you to play this type of chess from now onwards. Qin Mengli shook her head. Her eyes were fixated on Yang Dingtian and not the Chinese chess, No, I dont wish to play chess right now. Currently, I want to understand you; who are you? Yang Dingtian remained silent for a moment before replying, A loner, a person pursuing his dreams. Im a loner as well. Qin Mengli replied, Im always in a state of boredom. Even if something is extremely interesting, it would merely sustain for a few days. Your game of Go, as well as this Chinese chess, are extremely profound and enjoyable. However, Im already somewhat tired of the game of Go. As for this Chinese chess, I can already faintly feel that I will get tired of it five days later, even before I have started playing it. Do you still have any other fun games? Yes, a lot. Yang Dingtian replied, But its not much of a use to you because there will be a day where you will be tired of all the games similar to it to the point that you will even be bored of the games that you have yet to play. Then, do you have any way to let everything become not so boring? Qin Mengli inquired. Yes. Yang Dingtian replied. Then, tell me. Qin Mengli continued. You had always handled matters on your own territory. Therefore, nothing had gone beyond your control. Thus, anything would become boring. You just need to leave the place that could guarantee your safety and place yourself in unknown dangerous circumstances. So long as it is filled with uncertainty, you will never be bored of it. Yang Dingtian commented. There ought to be an objective, right? Qin Mengli replied, Getting me to leave this so-called familiar environment and head over to a completely unfamiliar location to adventure. There needs to be a strong and sufficient impetus to do so. Yang Dingtian thought over it for a moment before shaking his head, Sorry, Im not you. Therefore, Im unable to find a reason for you. Qin Mengli smiled charmingly, What about you? Youre a wanderer. A wanderer who had traveled around the world. Whats the reason that was encouraging you to take the risk? Whats your objective then? Yang Dingtian thought for a moment and replied, To seek the ultimate secret behind this world. What ultimate secret? Qin Mengli inquired. The secret behind the extinction of ancient civilization. Furthermore, why is there a war of destruction every few hundred years. Yang Dingtian replied. What did you discover then? Qin Mengli inquired. Yang Dingtian kept his silence for a moment, Something very vague. Furthermore, you will not be genuinely interested in it. No. Im very interested. Tell me one thing. Qin Mengli replied. Yang Dingtian kept his silence for a moment before replying, In the ancient world, the Infernal Sea was the Naga Races habitat. Before the great war of destruction, the Naga Race had migrated together and had moved to a location that couldnt be located by humans. Qin Menglis expression slightly trembled, Originally, I didnt have much hope in what you were about to tell me. But who knew that it would actually be so shocking. After which, Qin Mengli continued, However, I advise you not to tell others what you think. Otherwise, you will meet a tragic end. Yang Dingtian nodded his head. In fact, such topics were a taboo to the Heaven Dao Union because the Infernal Sea was where the Shrine of Extermination was located. It was Evil Daos core region and was the most mysterious place in this world. For thousands of years, the Heaven Dao Union was never able to enter that place, so much that the Heaven Dao Union had no idea where the Infernal Sea was at. They only knew that it was at the extreme west. The Naga Race was the Divine Dragons relative and was the strongest race in this world. By pulling the Evil Dao and Naga Race together, it was equivalent to pushing the Evil Dao up high. It would negatively impact the Heaven Dao Unions prestige. Therefore, pulling the Evil Dao and Naga Race together was an absolute taboo. Practically no one in the Heaven Dao Union dared to touch upon this topic. Qin Mengli glanced at Yang Dingtian and spoke, Why did you stop roaming around the world after coming here then? Yang Dingtian remained silent for a moment before replying, Want the truth? Qin Menglis gaze immediately became serious and solemn, Thats right; speak the truth. Perhaps, I have temporarily come to a stop. Yang Dingtian replied, Previously, the wandering was too exhausting, and it just so happens that I have discovered such a beauty like you in West Prefecture City. It reminded me of a lot of memories from the past. Therefore, I felt even more exhausted and couldnt help but stop and take a break. How long are you going to rest here then? Qin Mengli inquired. Not sure. Yang Dingtian replied, But Im sure it will be longer than you have a fresh feeling for a man. Qin Mengli stood up leisurely and commented, Honestly speaking, the games you created are indeed very profound and complex. But if it boils down to choosing my companion, I would prefer Yan Bieqin more. Furthermore, I no longer have the wish to play chess any longer. But after all, youre the victor. Therefore, theres still a final stage for you, and thats your ability as a man. If youre able to conquer me, I will be your woman for the following half a month or even a month. That will have to depend on your performance. Yang Dingtians heart leaped. This moment had finally arrived.

Chapter 220: Yang Dingtians Plan!Subsequently, Qin Mengli swept her beautiful eyes, Furthermore, Im not afraid to let you know that Yan Bieqin is just outside of my palace. If I feel dissatisfied, I will get him over to replace you. Immediately, the pressure on Yang Dingtian grew as high as the mountain. She had actually made it sound so harsh and direct. Offensively speaking, Qin Mengli, this woman could be addressed as a woman of loose morals. It could be said that she had possessed every kind of men. Furthermore, a lot of those men that she had selected were those men who could only be found in one in a ten thousand situation. Therefore, in these aspects, Yang Dingtian was not outstanding at all. Thus, it was as hard as going above the clear sky if he wished to conquer this woman. Most importantly, regardless of how handsome or capable the man was, Qin Mengli would grow tired of him in less than ten days because an intimate relationship without sentimental feelings was bound to fail. Just like the movies. A movie with a story plot would make a person watch it over and over again. As for those simple movies, watching it twice would already make you feel that it was unnecessary. Therefore, if Yang Dingtian were to act according to Qin Menglis request and really developed feelings for her, it was guaranteed that within five days, he would be chased out from her side immediately. Furthermore, Yang Dingtians objective was to infiltrate into Qin City and obtained the other half Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map. Therefore, not only did he have to stay by her side, he needed to become someone of importance to her. Since Qin Mengli could practically be counted as the second or third person in charge of Northwest Qin City, so long as he was of importance to her of a certain degree, he would be able to enter the upper echelon of Northwest Qin City and obtain the other half of Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map. It was at this moment, the lights within the palace dimmed. Only the golden couch was lit in pink radiance. Qin Mengli became even more charming by thousands of times as she stood under the warm radiance. It was really unfortunate for this woman. A heavenly creation and gorgeous person was actually a person with loose morals. What a shame. Yang Dingtian thought about it over and over again in his mind. The methods he used frequently would never work. They would fail. Therefore, he might need to do the very opposite! He had to utilize special means! *********************************** Come. Bring forth your capability. Qin Mengli spoke towards Yang Dingtian, Remember, this is your final test and is also the most important test. After she spoke, she walked over to the couch leisurely and laid down. She used her jade-like hands and propped her chin as she stared at Yang Dingtian. S~?a??h the N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Previously, a lot of men had already been captivated by her directly when they reached this point of time and would kneel down directly. There were a lot of men who would even cry out immediately. Qin Mengli really enjoyed such feelings. She enjoyed the worship and admiration the men had for her body while she stared at their moist eyes like a queen. Meanwhile, those mens performance had completely reached the boundary of pettiness. This kind of lofty and prestigious queen feeling was extremely satisfying. However, it was also very easy to get tired of it. Therefore, the happiness brought from the worshipping of the same man would never exceed half a month. Thus, the temporary companion Qin Mengli had at her side would never exceed half a month. She had always told herself that she would never fall in love with any man. Her heart had already died dozen of years ago during an ugly night. In addition, later on, she had married a man whom she completely hated because of a political reason. Fortunately, there was still her brother, Qin Mochou, who truly doted on her in this world. Yang Dingtian gradually advanced as he looked at the beautiful Qin Mengli. When his gaze fell onto her waist, it trembled slightly. There was a birthmark at Qin Menglis waist. It was a plum blossom birthmark and was extremely gorgeous. One would still be able to see it clearly, even if it was separated by a cloth. Shen Lang, what are you still waiting for? Qin Mengli commented hoarsely. Yang Dingtian kept his silence for a good while as if he had sunk into an intense battle. Shen Lang? Qin Menglis voice was already filled with traces of impatience. Yang Dingtian inhaled deeply and replied, Sorry, I... I cant do it! Suddenly, Qin Mengli was startled, Cant do it? What do you mean? Dont tell me you are not a man? Yang Dingtian replied, Madam, Im willing to do it if it was to accompany you for sightseeing and kill your boredom to avoid being hunted by White Cloud City Young Lord. But if it were to develop intimate relationships, Im very sorry. I really cant do it! At first, Qin Mengli was completely dumbstruck. After which, a trace of anger was revealed in her eyes as she rebuked, Shen Lang, are you retreating in order to advance? Your ambition is really big. But its a pity. This method of yours is already out of date. Someone had already used it before. I deemed it as cheating. Therefore, that person had been chopped and fed to dogs by me! Yang Dingtian shivered slightly, Theres no need to feed him to the dogs just by a mere refusal right, Madam? Qin Mengli smiled coldly, If it was proved that you are indeed trying to scheme against me, it would be the same thing as deceiving me. Being minced and fed to the dogs could already be counted as a light punishment for whoever that dares to deceive me in my territory. Yang Dingtian remained silent for a moment before replying, Firstly, Im not a true wanderer. Of course, I had indeed wandered around the world and regarded the four corners of the world as home. However, Im still a young bird when it comes to love. I had never once experienced anything that is being said so loosely from your mouth that was done between a male and female. Qin Mengli smiled coldly, Youre over thirty years old. Did you not have a woman before? Yang Dingtian replied, Whats so strange about it? This is not something glorious and important. Right, not important. Qin Mengli commented, Furthermore, in my eyes, this was clearly a synonym of incompetence. Yang Dingtian did not have any reaction from Qin Menglis words. He hesitated for a good while and replied, This kind of thing is a crime if there are no sentiment feelings behind it. Hahahaha... Qin Mengli laughed out, You are acting pure and innocent now? Hahahaha.... Yang Dingtian didnt explain himself. Instead, he stood there motionlessly. Qin Menglis complexion turned cold and spoke, Good. Its up to you whether youre really pure and innocent, or you are acting it just so to scheme against me! Since youre not going to treasure the opportunity that I have given you, call Yan Bieqin in while you make your way out. Yes. Yang Dingtian replied, May I ask if I can still stay here to avoid being hunted by White Cloud City Young Lord then? Qin Mengli was angered to the point of laughing. Originally, she wanted to chase Yang Dingtian away immediately. But after thinking about it for a moment, she spoke, Im willing to shelter you to commemorate the item you have created that could still be counted as interesting. Many thanks, Madam. Yang Dingtian replied. After this, he immediately left as if he had been relieved from a burden. There was not a single bit of hesitation or pause! This point was extremely important. He had to leave decisively and must not have a single bit of hesitation. When Qin Mengli saw this scene, she was slightly startled. She thought to herself, Could this Shen Lang really be someone who possessed a pure heart? Su Mei! Qin Mengli yelled. A moment later, Su Mei walked over from the side door at the side. She couldnt help but be startled when she saw that Yang Dingtian was not around. Qin Mengli spoke, You had interacted with Shen Lang longer. Do you think he is experienced in terms of male-female relationships? Su Mei smiled, He might seem experienced, but in reality, hes just a rookie. His hand would even shiver when he acts like a hoodlum! Qin Mengli was startled. After which, she didnt seem bothered by it. After all, it was not of importance to her whether he was pure and innocent or not. Although Yang Dingtian was a very unusual person who had invented Chinese chess, the game of Go and many other things, he was just merely somewhat better compared to anyone in Qin Menglis heart. He might have somewhat failed to appreciate her kindness, but when it came to someone who had a pure heart, she couldnt possibly criticize him too excessively. Therefore, she did not have any intention to punish him or even have any plans to chase him away. Of course, if she proved that Yang Dingtian was engaging a scheme on her, he would be dead! ******************************* Yang Dingtian walked for a long distance before he had managed to see Yan Bieqin inside a study room. Yan Bieqin was slightly startled when he saw Yang Dingtian. At this point in time, shouldnt he be together with Qin Mengli? Why did he come out? However, at this moment, Yan Bieqin, who would always oppose Yang Dingtian, showed no signs of hostility as he stood up and greeted, Hello, Brother Shen. Yang Dingtian returned the greeting, Hello, Brother Yan. Both of them had only looked face to face at each other for a moment, yet their gazes were somewhat complex. In their hearts, they felt that the other party was extremely outstanding. Both of them were not willing to be just a sleeping buddy to Qin Mengli. Therefore, they each harbored their own motives. But, Yang Dingtian had no idea what Yan Bieqin was scheming. So much that he had no idea who this person was! However, a smart person would never open their mouth to ask. Not only would they not obtain an answer, but it would also expose themselves as well. And both of them were clearly aware of this. Yang Dingtian spoke out, Brother Yan, Madam Qin has invited you in! Chapter 221: Devil! Chapter 221: Devil!Yan Bieqin couldnt help but get startled. What was going on here? Immediately, Yan Bieqin could no longer understand the opponent before him. Previously, Yan Bieqin did not place Yang Dingtian in his eyes at all. Although the game of Go, Chinese Chess and many other things were very stunning, Yan Bieqin felt that Shen Lang didnt invent them. Rather, he had coincidentally learned of it before stealing it for himself. He felt that with Shen Langs wisdom, it was impossible for him to invent such a profound game. However, he did not manage to expose him successfully. In any case, Qin Mengli would only be interested in it for two to three days. Yan Bieqin felt that he would definitely be the victor in the end! But now, he could no longer see through what Yang Dingtian was thinking. However, Yan Bieqin did not reveal it. Rather, he said, If so, I shall bid my farewell! After which, he walked towards Qin Menglis inner chamber without displaying any signs of complacency on his face! ************************************** After entering the inner chamber, he saw the incomparably gorgeous Qin Mengli being shone under the warm light. Immediately, Yan Bieqins gaze turned fiery! Qin Mengli waved her hand and spoke, Yan Bieqin, Shen Lang had forfeited. Lucky for you. I hope that you wont let me down! Although Yan Bieqin was extremely aroused, he still wished to know what was going on. Immediately, Yan Bieqin smiled, Madam, may I ask, what did Shen Lang do wrong that caused him to be forfeited by Madam? Qin Mengli smiled coldly, Whats wrong? Do you want to plead leniency for him? Yan Bieqin replied, Nope. I had always dreamed of being together with Madam. Therefore, Im very excited right now. However, I still wish to know the answer. Im very much in love with Madam. Thats why I dont wish to have an unfair advantage in the contest! Immediately, Qin Menglis complexion turned ugly as she spoke with a cold smile, Shen Lang said that he is a young bird with a pure heart. Therefore, he didnt wish to bring our relationship one step closer. When Qin Mengli spoke, it sounded extremely angry because this caused her to be extremely humiliated. Yan Bieqin rolled his eyes and spoke, Madam, this is unreasonable! Qin Mengli spoke, What do you mean? Yan Bieqin continued, Firstly, I believe there are extremely affectionate men, but there will never be a man with a pure heart! Secondly, Madams beauty is capable of causing the downfall of a city. Any normal man in this world would be fatally attracted to you without any exception! This two-sentence had caused Qin Mengli to be somewhat bursting in joy! She had always believed that she possessed a kind of supreme charisma. Yan Bieqin continued, Therefore, this Shen Lang is retreating in order to advance. He hopes to leave behind a unique and deep impression in Madams heart, and has another plan! Qin Menglis complexion turned cold, If its this case, hes just looking for death. How do I prove this? Yan Bieqin spoke, Very simple. If he had other plans, he would certainly insist on sticking at Madams side. Therefore, as long as you give an order to chase him away, and he desires to stay behind no matter what, this means that he has an ulterior motive. Qin Mengli spoke, The reason hes staying behind is that he wishes to obtain my protection. He had offended the White Cloud City Young Lord. Once he leaves, he would be hunted.Read more chapter on vipnovel.com Yan Bieqin replied, Thats very simple. Although you chased him away, youre still willing to protect him. Send a letter to Young Lord Ye and tell him not to touch a single hair of Shen Langs. After which, we just need to see Shen Langs reaction to this! Qin Mengli frowned, White Cloud City and my Qin Citys relationship isnt as intimate as you think. Young Lord Ye might not necessarily listen to my words! So what? You dont really have to protect Shen Lang. Yan Bieqin continued, Its just a way to declare your stand. Afterward, you just need to see how Shen Lang reacts! Qin Mengli commented, What if Shen Lang really leaves? S?a??h th? Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yan Bieqin inquired, Dont tell me you care about his life or death? Qin Mengli was startled, Thats right. What does his life or death have to do with me? Subsequently, Qin Mengli commented, Then you might as well head out and call him back in again. This game is getting more and more interesting... Qin Menglis eyes revealed a demon-like radiance! ******************************* Yang Dingtian couldnt help but get startled when Yan Bieqin informed him to enter Qin Menglis inner chamber again. Subsequently, he felt a sense of danger from Yan Bieqins eyes. If he werent wrong, he was walking down a tightrope next, and if he were to fall from it, it would mean death! Yang Dingtian glanced at Yan Bieqin profoundly. Originally, the battle of wits with Qin Mengli was just a form of risk and was not for him to play with fire. However, because of Yan Bieqins existence, it seemed like he was playing with fire. If he were to lose, he might lose his life. Perhaps, he wouldnt have played with it from the start if he knew that it would be dangerous and would take time to plan his strategy. But now, the arrow was already on the bow, and it had to be released! Either the winner takes it all or dies! He inhaled a deep breath of air inwardly. Yang Dingtian entered Qin Menglis inner chamber once again! ******************************* Shen Lang, since you had no intention to become my temporary companion, theres no need for you to stay by my side. From this point onwards, youre to leave here. Qin Mengli commented. Yang Dingtian replied, But... but Young Lord Ye is hunting for my life outside. I will inevitably die once I head out! Are you that afraid of death? Qin Mengli smiled coldly. Im not afraid of death, but I am afraid to die without any meaning. Yang Dingtian replied, If Im to discover the secret behind this world, Im willing to die the next second after. Qin Mengli continued, You can be at ease. I will send a high-level Martial Supreme to accompany you out. Furthermore, I will speak with the White Cloud City Young Lord and get him not to make a move against you! You know as well. As the third person-in-charge of Qin City, if Im to issue a diplomatic note, White Cloud City Young Lord wouldnt dare to oppose it, even if our relationship couldnt be counted as very good! Yang Dingtian became silent. He knew this was a form of probing. If he continued to stay here, it would be viewed as having an ulterior motive, and that he was scheming against Qin Mengli. If so, it might be a dead-end for him. But if he were to really leave, all his efforts would go down the drain. Furthermore, would Qin Mengli really protect him? It was really hard to say. Even he wouldnt be bothered by a passerbys death! Therefore, the path given for Yang Dingtian to take was like a dead end. Heading right would mean death, and heading left would mean death as well! Whats wrong, cant bear to leave here? Qin Mengli inquired coldly. Yang Dingtian smiled bitterly before bowing, Goodbye, Madam! Subsequently, he turned around and left immediately. Just like this, Yang Dingtian continued walking. Although it wasnt resolute, it didnt possess any form of hesitation. Meanwhile, Qin Mengli stared at Yang Dingtians rearview continuously, all the way until Yang Dingtian had gone to a faraway location and could no longer be seen. All of a sudden, she opened her mouth, Stop! Yang Dingtian halted. Shen Lang, why are you smiling bitterly for? Qin Mengli inquired. Yang Dingtian commented, I know that Madam has no intention to protect me at all. Therefore, once I leave, it would practically be a dead-end to me. Qin Mengli countered, What? You feel that I wouldnt be able to protect you? Yang Dingtian continued, Not unable. Rather, you would have to pay a certain price for it. At the very least, its not something that can be achieved with a diplomatic note by speech. After all, White Cloud Citys Young Lord Ye is not someone rational. Qin Mengli remained silent for a moment before speaking, If you want me to put you fully under my protection, then you just need to promise me one thing. Please speak. Yang Dingtian replied, Unless its something I couldnt achieve. Qin Mengli continued, Be at ease, I wouldnt go to the extent of being so contemptible and beg a male. I only want you to speak the truth. Yang Dingtian replied, What truth? Qin Mengli replied, You declined the chance to bring our relationship a step even closer. Is it really because of a pure heart? Yang Dingtian remained silent. Qin Mengli yelled coldly, Reply me! Yang Dingtian replied, If Im to speak the truth, will Madam guarantee not to kill me? Qin Mengli smiled coldly, I guarantee that I will not kill you. Furthermore, I will even place you under my protection. Yang Dingtian answered, In this world, there might perhaps be an extremely pure-hearted woman, but its very rare for men. Perhaps, men might be very affectionate but would rarely differentiate between love and lust. This is especially so for men that are at the prime of their life. Therefore, even if a lot of men didnt fall in love with another person, it was still very easy for them to have sex with another person. Qin Mengli smiled coldly, Correct. This is the truth. Let me ask you then, would normal men be able to reject women like me? Nope. On the contrary, they will be fatally attracted to you. Yang Dingtian answered. Qin Mengli replied coldly, Are you a normal man then? I am. Yang Dingtian answered. Qin Mengli replied, Its weird then. Just now, you had rejected me with those righteous words. Whats your reason for doing so? Dont tell me you hold other motives? Yang Dingtian remained silent for a moment and replied, Madam, if Im to speak the truth, you will be very angry. But can you guarantee not to kill me? Qin Mengli replied, I guarantee! Yang Dingtian shook his head, The majority of the time, women would never keep their guarantees. After I tell you, you will definitely kill me. Qin Menglis gaze turned cold, Thats right. Women would never keep their guarantees. However, you have no choice but to say it out. Because if you dont do so, I will kill you straight away! Yang Dingtian looked at Qin Mengli and spoke word by word, Because you are filthy! The moment the words sounded out, it was like a long whip that was filled with barb being thrashed at Qin Menglis body ruthlessly. At the start, it was numb before becoming sharp piercing and bloody pain! Qin Mengli knew that she was a woman with loose morals and knew how bad her reputation was! However, no one dared to say it in front of her. Every man that met her worshipped her. Therefore, she acted as if she had no idea about it. Now, Yang Dingtian had exposed this point straight to her, causing all those wounds from the past to be opened again! The instantaneous acute pain couldnt be described in words. I find you filthy! This sentence was too ruthless, malicious and genuine! All of a sudden, Qin Mengli couldnt breathe. Subsequently, she was filled with infinite rage, hatred, and sorrow! She would still remain extremely pure if it werent because of the incident that was dozen of years ago. It was that devil that destroyed her! Destroyed her body, soul, and life! She had grown numb to this type of walking corpse life as if that wound was no longer around. But at this moment, Yang Dingtians words had opened all her wounds bloodily and had made them even bigger as blood poured out from it! It was after a good while did Qin Mengli gradually recover from this kind of inner acute pain. What came subsequently after was endless anger and hatred. The gaze by which she looked at Yang Dingtian was also filled with coldness and killing intent! Chapter 222: Conquered! Chapter 222: Conquered!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Shen Lang, youre right. A womans guarantee could never be trusted. Qin Mengli smiled coldly before speaking, Youre right. I will still kill you even after you said it. Since its so, consider yourself dead already! Yang Dingtian smiled bitterly, I know! Qin Mengli rebuked, If so, do you have any last wish before you die? Yang Dingtian instinctively looked towards the plum blossom on Qin Menglis waist. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. But ultimately, he didnt speak it out. He shook his head and replied, I have no last wish! Qin Mengli replied, Thats good. Time for you to die then! After she spoke, Qin Mengli stretched out her hand and was about to clap her palm to signal for experts to come in so that she could chop off Yang Dingtians head and pull off his tongue so that she would be able to calm the hatred in her heart! Immediately, Yang Dingtian picked up a golden dagger from the table at the side. That dagger looked extremely luxurious and was completely covered in gold. The handle was embedded fully with gems as well. On the contrary, Qin Mengli paused and smiled coldly, Shen Lang, are you trying to kidnap me as your hostage? Yang Dingtian didnt speak. Rather, he searched the area. After which, he found a unique looking bottle within a big pile of elixir bottles. This bottle should be the Icebound Soul Attraction, right? Its a type of extremely expensive incense. It would turn into fumes after it had been burnt. There isnt any poison in it. Rather, it would cause a person to enter a splendid state. Yang Dingtian narrated unhurriedly, However, before it is burnt, it is extremely poisonous. One would die once it touches a persons blood. Right? Correct. Qin Mengli smiled coldly, You wish to use it to kill me? Bring it on. Yang Dingtian shook his head. Immediately after, he rubbed the Icebound Soul Attraction toxic on the blade of the dagger. Subsequently, he placed the dagger across his neck and replied unhurriedly, No need to trouble others if you wish to kill me. I can do it myself! Immediately, Qin Mengli was startled. Indeed, she was dumbfounded by this sudden change of event. However, she smiled coldly immediately after, Shen Lang, dont bother playing this kind of tricky game. Its useless! Yang Dingtian went forward unhurriedly. All of a sudden, he swept a slap across Qin Menglis matchless cheek ruthlessly after taking his aim on it. SLAP... Qin Mengli was sent flying out immediately. Her absolutely beautiful face turned red and swollen immediately with blood flowing out from the corner of her mouth. Suddenly, Qin Mengli was rendered dumbstruck completely. Immediately after, she was truly angered as she cried out, Im going to dismember you into thousands of pieces, thousands of pieces! No need. I can do it myself! Yang Dingtian replied nonchalantly. Subsequently, he slashed with the dagger that was moistened with toxicity across his neck. Immediately, blood flowed out, and it instantly changed color! The instant Yang Dingtian was about to collapse, he looked at Qin Mengli and issued an extremely affectionate and yearning trembling gentle voice, Sister Meng, you should not degrade yourself but rather, treasure yourself more! After which, he collapsed onto the ground and showed no signs of breathing! From the time he slapped her to him committing suicide, all of this happened too quickly. Qin Mengli was completely unable to react to this. Most importantly, the affection and yearnings Shen Lang issued at his last moment were so entrenched and genuine. Furthermore, the phrase Sister Meng had triggered an extremely remote memory. Who exactly was he? Why was he so affectionate to her? It seemed as if she remembered this person, yet she couldnt clearly remember him as well. While Qin Mengli was stupefied, Yang Dingtian had already collapsed onto the ground. The blood that was flowing out from the wound was covered in blue because of high toxicity. Immediately, Qin Mengli shouted out in alarm, Men, men... Bring over the antidote for Icebound Soul Attraction quickly! But very quickly, she found the Icebound Soul Attractions antidote herself as she poured it into Yang Dingtians mouth and wound! ************************************* When Yang Dingtian woke up, he had already left the underground golden palace and was laid on top of a soft bed. When he widened his eyes, an absolutely beautiful and white cheek came into his line of sight. It was Qin Mengli who sat at the bedside. Her complexion was haggard, and her beautiful eyes were covered in bloodshot. When she saw that Yang Dingtian had woken up, her beautiful eyes immediately became complicated. Afterward, she was hesitating what kind of tone she should speak in. Ultimately, she used a tranquil voice, You have woken up? Now, tell me. Who exactly are you? Why did you tell me those words during your last moment? Why did you use such an affectionate gaze and looked at me? Of course, Yang Dingtian didnt die. Because the poison that was moistened on the dagger was called the Icebound Soul Attraction, it was a kind of extremely weird poison that was extracted out from an ice attribute demonic beast body from the ocean. Once it entered a persons blood, anyone would immediately lose their life. Only Yang Dingtians Nine Yang Mystic Meridians were an exception. Furthermore, Qin Mengli had the antidote for it. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian even saw the antidote being placed inside that transparent jade case. Yang Dingtian was gambling with his life. During that point in time, Qin Menglis determination to kill him was just way too huge. He had to place himself at the death door before he can survive. Furthermore, only by doing so, would he be able to enter the depths of Qin Menglis heart and become someone of importance. Only then could he possibly enter the upper echelon of Qin City and obtain the other half of Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame maps secret. Now, his gamble of placing himself at the death door had succeeded. **************************************** Yang Dingtian, who had woken up, didnt reveal any signs of joy as he looked at Qin Menglis beautiful face. His gaze immediately turned complex. Subsequently, he inhaled a deep breath of air. Qin Mengli stretched out her jade hands and caressed the wound on Yang Dingtians neck gently as she inquired, Shen Lang, tell me, why? Originally, I wanted to agree to your order and bring our relationship a step closer. Yang Dingtian replied, And I even looked forward to it! Qin Mengli smiled coldly, Didnt you find me filthy? And even detest me for being a woman with loose morals? Yang Dingtian nodded, Thats right. But if this were just an act, such woman would be filled with fatal attraction instead. Then what caused you to change your decision to refuse me? Qin Mengli replied. Yang Dingtian continued, Because I discovered the plum blossom birthmark at the side of your waist. Qin Mengli commented, What about it? Yang Dingtians face trembled and spoke, Because, I recognized you. I recognized that you are that Sister Meng. The dream lover that caused me to be captivated and the woman who had been the support for me to live on till now. The... the woman I had been trying to find for my whole life. However, never did I expect the purest and kindhearted woman in my heart would become like this! (TL Note: Meng = Dream.) When those words were spoken, Qin Mengli suddenly trembled. Yang Dingtians gaze sunk back into his memories and infatuation as he said, Perhaps, you had forgotten. Twenty years ago, I was only nine years old while you had already grown up. I saw you while you were showering in the hot spring inside the Ice Sealed Valley. Subsequently, you released the dogs to bite me... From then on, your appearance had always been imprinted inside my mind. I had gradually forgotten your face, and the only deep impression I had was the plum blossom birthmark at the corner of your waist. Qin Mengli recalled that after Shen Lang had seen the plum blossom birthmark on her waist, his complexion had indeed changed. Immediately after, she had also sunk back into her memories as she tried her best to recall the incident. Subsequently, a boy appeared within her memories. He was filled with curiosity, passion, confusion as well as possessing two big pure eyes. You, you are Ren Tianhan? Qin Mengli inquired in shock. Yang Dingtian nodded his head. Following after, his face sunk into agony. Of course, Yang Dingtian wasnt Ren Tianhan. However, this person existed, and he was the son of Ice Sealed Valley Master! No one knew as to whether Ren Tianhan had peeked at Qin Mengli during her shower, or Qin Mengli had long forgotten about it as well. However, the hot spring in Ice Sealed Valley was very renowned. It was especially helpful for womens skin and beauty. Therefore, any woman that had been to the Ice Sealed Valley would definitely shower in the hot spring, and Qin Mengli was not an exception. The only memory Qin Mengli had of Ren Tianhan was that she and her brother, Qin Wanchou had saved his life under someone elses knife! During then, a treasure appeared in Ice Sealed Valley, and a ninth-grade ice attribute mystic skill scroll was scooped out from it. All the huge factions around the world flocked over, including Dongfang Niemie. There was also the during then when Qin Wanchou was Qin Citys Young Lord, and Qin Mengli had followed along to make things livelier. Dongfang Niemie had merely stayed for half a day before leaving because he didnt have much greed towards the scroll. However, when Dongfang Niemie left, Ice Sealed Valley suffered from a massacre, and everyone had been killed. Meanwhile, that ninth-grade ice attribute mystic skill scroll had also disappeared without a trace. Up till now, no one knew where it went. During that point of time, Young Lord Ren Tianhan was the only person that escaped. He got carried by a loyal servant and escaped out from the Ice Sealed Valley. But the enemies had caught up to them very quickly. Just when Dongfang Niemie was about to make his move, Qin Wanchou and Qin Mengli came before him and saved the-then nine years old Ren Tianhan from the enemies pursuit. During that point in time, Qin Mengli was still very kindhearted and pure. After that, Ren Tianhan followed the loyal servant and left. No one knew where they went. In order to move Qin Mengli, Yang Dingtian had been interacting with his master and got his master to tell him everything related to Qin Mengli. However, the interaction between Dongfang Niemie and Qin Mengli was just way too little. No matter how much he thought, only this event could come into his mind. S~?a??h the N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Therefore, Yang Dingtian decided to impersonate Ren Tianhan and used it to move Qin Menglis heart completely. Qin Mengli might be a woman with loose morals, but that was because she had suffered from a terrifying wound dozen of years ago. She still looked forward to pure love within the depth of her heart. And what Ren Tianhan could give her was pure and perfect love. So much that Yang Dingtian could even use his death to act out this play. Therefore, they no longer would contain any loopholes! Sure enough, Qin Mengli stared at Yang Dingtians eyes. She felt that it was getting more and more similar to the boy in her memories! Subsequently, her gaze gradually turned gentle and intoxicated! Indeed, she really lacked love. She yearned for love within the depths of her heart. However, she, who had a bad reputation, possessed terrifying wealth and power. Furthermore, she had always submerged herself in darkness. Therefore, she didnt dare to have hope in love. Now, there was an unconditional pure love placed in front of her. She crumbled and collapsed instantly! At the next moment, she suddenly embraced Yang Dingtian. Subsequently, endless happiness and joy emerged within her heart. It was as if sunlight had shone into the darkness of her heart. The darkness and filthiness within it were being disintegrated rapidly! Chapter 223: Leaving For Qin City! Chapter 223: Leaving For Qin City!Little boy, little boy. I didnt expect you to be able to locate me. Can you still return to my side? Qin Mengli was practically talking to herself as she brought forth a sobbing tone while her eyes grew tearful. Im not! Yang Dingtian replied decisively, Ren Tianhan had already died. Im Shen Lang. Qin Mengli looked at Yang Dingtian with her beautiful eyes, Ice Sealed Valleys members arent killed by our Qin Clan. I know. Yang Dingtian replied, Your Qin Clan possessed the fire attribute mystic meridians. The ice attribute mystic skill scroll is useless to you. Qin Mengli gazed at him with her beautiful eyes, Then, the reason why youre wandering around the world was to take revenge and wipe out the grudge? You, the reason why you approached me was to avenge yourself as well? Yang Dingtians face became unsightly immediately, I will say it one last time. I love you because youre the first woman whose body I had seen. You had saved my life, and youre the only pillar why Im wandering around the world. Theres no other objective. In the future, I no longer wish to repeat these words again. Alright? Sorry, sorry... Qin Mengli replied gently, Dont be angry. Its my fault. I said the wrong words! While Qin Mengli spoke, she recalled back those memories that happened during that time. During then, Qin Mengli was only 16 years old and was at the prime of her youth. She was pure and romantic, unlike how filthy and despair she was right now. During then, when she had rescued this boy from being killed. That boys eyes were so bright and were filled with tears. Yet, he stared at her with extreme infatuation. Immediately, she couldnt help but started to overlap the face of the boy to the man before her. Shen Lang, I can help you if you wish to take revenge. Qin Mengli continued gently, My brothers doted on me a lot. I can be half a decision-maker for Qin Citys affairs. Yang Dingtian shook his head, Never once had I thought of taking revenge. Regardless of whether you believe it or not, I had never once thought of revenge. Every man is innocent but not ourselves! Ice Sealed Valleys strength is too weak. Yet, we obtained such a treasure, causing us to court a disaster. This couldnt be blamed on others. I will not waste my life on unbounded hatred. I still have something more important to do. Searching for the truth behind the ancient destruction as well as the final secret behind this world to save this world. These are the things that are most significant to me. After Yang Dingtian spoke, Qin Menglis eyes brightened up immediately. She replied gently, Shen Lang, youre really amazing. After which, Qin Mengli lifted her beautiful eyes and spoke delicately, However, is this your only dream? Dont you want to accomplish something even bigger? Yang Dingtian caressed Qin Menglis cheek and continued gently, Originally, there was none. But theres now. What is it? Qin Mengli inquired softly. Loving you properly. Yang Dingtian replied affectionately. Immediately, Qin Menglis beautiful eyes had turned drunk as she pouted slightly and waited for a kiss. ************************************ For the following days, Yang Dingtian and Qin Mengli were practically inseparable! Both of them played Chinese chess and Go on the couch. Sometimes, Su Mei will be included to play the game Fight the Landlord. Thats right. Yang Dingtian had brought out poker as well. Yang Dingtian was passing his days within Qin Menglis underground palace. He was practically living the emperors life. There was once when Qin Mengli was unable to fall asleep, and Yang Dingtian tried to narrate a story from earth to her. From then on, things got out of hand. Every time before she slept, Yang Dingtian would have to spend 2 hours of storytime with her, from the revised Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio to revised Qiong Yaos novels and to Tale of the White Snake. Ultimately, they were all fixated onto fairy tales. This caused Yang Dingtian to be extremely startled. The loose morals queen, Qin Mengli, actually loved to listen to fairy tales. Furthermore, every time he narrated the fairy tale, her beautiful eyes would reveal a trace of child-like purity. It was also during this point in time did Yang Dingtian feel that she had grown somewhat adorable. During this period, Qin Mengli had grown more and more infatuated and dependent on Yang Dingtian. She had become a little girl that had sunk herself into love from a high and mighty queen. Her gaze had turned from lewd to extremely pure. Her voice had turned from rough to tender and lovely. Her dressing grew more conservative and elegant. She grew more and more radiant and beautiful. In a short span of a few days, Yang Dingtian felt that she had grown a lot younger. The seductiveness and difficulties on her had practically vanished. Yang Dingtian didnt inquire anything that was related to the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame. He absolutely couldnt inquire about it. It would immediately attract suspicion once he inquired about it. In that case, all the attraction would instantly crumble and turn into endless hatred. Yang Dingtian had to show a form of unreserved love to her that was clear of desire and request. **************************************** The time passed by very quickly and Qin Mengli had to leave for the Northwest Qin City because of the number of days left before her elder brother Qin Wanchous 50th birthday, who was also the lord of Qin City as well as the overlord of Northwest Continent, was left than half a month time. Originally, she was supposed to set off a few days before; however, she was deeply in love with Yang Dingtian during that point of time. She didnt wish to part with him for even a second. Therefore, she kept on delaying it. Meanwhile, her husband, the West Prefecture City Lord, had also come over to urge her several times. Eventually, it couldnt be delayed any longer. Therefore, Qin Mengli decided to set forth tomorrow and leave for the Northwest Qin City. On that night, after they had their loving affection together. Yang Dingtian and Qin Mengli cuddled together and spoke of their personal matters. Shen Lang, after I return to Qin City, I will arrange for you to enter the highest echelon in Qin City, alright? Qin Mengli suddenly spoke out softly, I will arrange you to the side of Qin Huaiyu. Once he becomes the Lord of Qin City, you will only be beneath a single person yet above everyone else. Yang Dingtian shook his head, Im not interested. In response, Yang Dingtian revealed an uninterested look. The sensitive Qin Mengli immediately discovered the gloominess in her lover. She immediately cuddled over and spoke softly, Husband, you seemed to have a load on your mind? Yang Dingtian spoke, Im unsure if I should tell you this. Go ahead. Whats there you cant tell your sweetheart. Qin Mengli replied coquettishly. Do you love me? Qin Mengli? Yang Dingtian inquired. I do. Of course, I love you... Qin Mengli replied delicately, Husband, I will turn angry if youre going to ask such a question again! I will never be accustomed to staying in Northwest Qin City. My dream is to search for the final truth behind this world, love you properly as well as be together with you. Yang Dingtian inquired gently, Ah Li, are you willing to abandon everything and wander around with me? We shall travel to all parts of the world and discover the truth behind this world. (TL NOTE:- Ah Li is an intimate way to address Qin Mengli.) Qin Mengli was immediately stupefied. She had no idea how to answer it momentarily. Honestly speaking, she might have kept on saying she was bored and wished to look for excitement, but she really couldnt abandon the glory, splendor, wealth, and rank as well as her life of luxury just to wander around with Yang Dingtian and experience hardship. You arent willing, right? Yang Dingtian spoke out bitterly. The expression on Qin Menglis face grew even more awkward. Afterward, she faced her back towards Yang Dingtians side body and laid down, Shen Lang, lets not talk about this. Its late. Lets sleep. Tomorrow morning, were leaving for Northwest Qin City. This was the first time Yang Dingtian and Qin Mengli were on bad terms with each other during this time. ******************************************* The next day, Qin Mengli brought along thousands of grandiose cavalry and left for the Northwest Qin City while escorting dozens of big carts from the West Prefecture City. Perhaps, it might be because of guilt, or she wanted to let Yang Dingtian experience the power of authority, Yang Dingtian had become the commander of the over thousand cavalries when he was just a mere Great Mystic Martial Master. What was even more bizarre was that Yan Bieqin had actually become the vice commander of this group of cavalries. However, his position wasnt arranged by Qin Mengli but West Prefecture City Lord, who was Qin Menglis nominal husband. Today, Yang Dingtian had also finally met this legendary West Prefecture City Lord. He was an extremely handsome and intimidating middle-aged man. Regardless he was the Northwest Qin Citys son-in-law or the West Prefecture City Lord, he would still need to attend the Lord of Qin Clans 50th birthday celebration. However, Yang Dingtian had merely glanced at this City Lord hastily. This handsome City Lord didnt even take a glance at Yang Dingtian and went straight into the second sumptuous big chariot in front of everyones gaze. Besides, as the cavalry commander, Yang Dingtian had to be outside, riding the horse while journeying. All of a sudden, the West Prefecture City Lords chariot opened his curtain and spoke a few sentences to Yan Bieqin before pulling down his curtain back again. Subsequently, Yan Bieqin rode his horse to Yang Dingtians side and journeyed side by side with him. Is there any matter, Yan Bieqin? Yang Dingtian inquired with a frown. S~?a??h the N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Where does Brother Shen come from? Which clan are you from? Yan Bieqin inquired. Yang Dingtian glanced over nonchalantly without concealing the hostility in his eyes, Yan Bieqin, I believe this doesnt concern you. Yan Bieqin smiled dryly, Right. Indeed, this had nothing to do with me. However, City Lord Ye has gotten me to pass on a few sentences to you. City Lord Ye? Yang Dingtian was slightly stupefied immediately. Unexpectedly, Qin Menglis husbands surname was also Ye. He wondered what kind of relationship he had with the White Cloud City Young Lord Ye. Continue. Yang Dingtian replied nonchalantly. He said, Madam Qin is merely having fun. If someone doesnt know when he should retreat, he might not know how he will die later on. Is this a threat? Yang Dingtian immediately shrunk his gaze slightly. Yan Bieqin smiled slightly, Im just passing on the message only. Subsequently, Yan Bieqin continued, However, I wish to inform Brother Shen that previously there were two of Madam Qins gigolos that had experienced being doted on. Therefore, they had arisen a different kind of thoughts. Ultimately, one of them got castrated and was sent to the most depraved brothel to be a pimp. Furthermore, he received the crudest male guest as well. As for the other one, he was skinned to death alive. Yang Dingtian smiled slightly, Thank you for telling me this, Brother Yan. Youre welcome. Yan Bieqin smiled. Subsequently, he rode his horse and left. Both of them detested each other. Thus, there was no need for them to put forth an act. They couldnt hope to stay away from each other; the further, the better. For the next two days, they lived together in harmony. Although the West Prefecture City Lord had used Yan Bieqins mouth to issue a death threat to Yang Dingtian, he still had not done anything to Yang Dingtian for the past few days. Meanwhile, Qin Mengli had no idea if it was because of her husband at her side or was it there were eyes everywhere or perhaps because Yang Dingtian had forced her to declare her stand, she had ultimately not gotten Yang Dingtian to ascend onto her chariot, so much that Yang Dingtian had yet to approach her. Everyone was also showing respect to Yang Dingtian, who was a nominal commander for the thousand man cavalry. In just two days, they had traveled over 600 miles. According to this speed, they would still need six to seven days before reaching Northwest Qin City. They would still be able to reach the Qin City Lords birthday celebration on time. Another two days went by. The group Yang Dingtian was at had overtaken another group. Similarly, this group was filled with hundreds of people. Furthermore, they were dressed in colorful clothes while riding the horse. Similarly, they were escorting dozens of chariots, and there was a snow-white goshawk embroidered on their flag. Enemies would always meet each other on a narrow road. This was the team from White Cloud City. As the nominal second strongest faction in the Northwest Continent, the White Cloud City City Lord, Ye Wucheng, ought to be leading his team towards the Northwest Qin Citys celebration. Furthermore, they were Northwest Qin Citys in-laws. Chapter 224: Rampant! Saving the Fox Race! Chapter 224: Rampant! Saving the Fox Race!After the two teams bumped into each other, West Prefecture City Lord, Ye Wuzheng and Qin Mengli alighted from the chariot and went forward to pay their greetings. Meanwhile, White Cloud City Lord had also alighted as he brought Young Lord Ye Feng along with him. Both sides bumped into each other during the journey. After which, they greeted each other. Their greetings were equally respectful. However, generally speaking, West Prefecture City Lord and Qin Menglis greetings were slightly more respectful while White Cloud City Lord, Ye Wucheng, was more arrogant and reserved. After all, White Cloud City Lord Ye Wucheng was of the same rank as Qin Wanchou. s?a??h th? N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Meanwhile, White Cloud City Young Lord Ye Fengs attitude was completely opposite to his father. When he was greeting West Prefecture City Lord Ye Wuzheng, there were no signs of respect and merely bent over his waist slightly before speaking, Nephew greets uncle. Sure enough, Qin Menglis husband, Ye Wuzheng, was White Cloud City Lords younger brother. After they had greeted each other, Ye Feng started to look around. Very quickly, his gaze fell onto Yang Dingtians face. Immediately, ice-cold hostility could be seen within his gaze. There were also traces of despising and disdain within him. However, he didnt rush over to find trouble with him immediately. Rather, his gaze revealed traces of sneering and warning. After which, both groups started to converge together. They were preparing to head towards the Red Stone Castle Station that was dozens of miles away and rest for the night. This Red Stone Castle was already the Northwest Qin Citys territory. Furthermore, it was controlled and supported by Qin Clan. This Red Stone Castle was in a way related to Yang Dingtian. The Red Stone Castle Lords daughter, Qin Hongmian, had died under the sword of Yang Dingtian. At around the evening, both groups of thousands of people entered the Red Stone Castle. Indeed, this Red Stone Castles pillar was colored in full red. It was an extremely stable and grand castle. Just this castle alone had already occupied over a hundred hectares. The tallest lookout tower was close to a hundred meters. It was able to garrison as much as a few thousand soldiers. Indeed, it was one of the most important areas of the Northwest Qin Clan in the southeast territory. Meanwhile, Red Stone Castle Lord, Qin Zhongtian, had led hundreds of important officials from the Red Stone Castle and greeted them from 20 miles away respectfully. Over here, the disparity of Qin Zhongtians attitude was very obvious. When he was facing the White Cloud City Lord Ye Wucheng, there were traces of politeness. But when he was facing Qin Mengli, it was filled with fawn and flatter. From start to finish, the Red Stone Castle Lord had never once straightened his waist. He treated Qin Mengli like his mistress. Qin Zhongtian couldnt be counted as someone with no position. He was the person in charge of a 200-mile territory around the Red Stone Castle. He could be counted as a feudal lord in Northwest Qin City. However, before Qin Mengli, he was like a slave. Both sides consist of cavalries that were over a thousand. According to practices, other than roughly 200 close guards, the remaining troops will have to be stationed outside of the castle. As the highest commander for this ground of a thousand cavalries, Yang Dingtian could also enter the Red Stone Castle and enjoy a cozy guest room himself. Furthermore, there would be two to three maidservants serving him. ********************************************* The maidservant had come forward to inform Yang Dingtian and got him to leave for the banquet in the Red Stone Castle hall after washing up and changing into an elegant and cozy bright gown. Yang Dingtian followed her and entered the castle banquet. At this moment inside the hall, there were around ten people who had taken their seats. There were approximately forty to fifty tables within the hall. Yang Dingtians seat could be considered at the forefront. At the ninth table on his right, Qin Mengli and the other guest had yet to arrive. At this moment, the sky had already turned completely dark. The whole hall was lit by thousands of candle flame, causing the hall to be as bright as daytime. Yang Dingtian sat on his seat. Before him was a half-person tall table, it was approximately 1.5 meters long and 80 centimeters wide. All kinds of rare delicacies, liquor and fruits were placed on top of it. In this place, each person had their own table. There would also be a tender and good looking maidservant serving beside them. Not long after Yang Dingtian arrived, the rest of the guests had also arrived in succession. Only after everyone had arrived did the three most important guests for the night show up. They were Qin Mengli, Ye Wucheng, and Ye Wuzheng, respectively. These three individuals sat at the foremost three tables. The first table on their left was accompanied by Red Stone Castle Lord, Qin Zhongtian, while Ye Feng, the Young Lord of White Cloud City, sat at the first table on their right. He lifted his head and looked around. His expression was of arrogance. As for Yan Bieqin, his seat was right after Yang Dingtian. Along with the Red Stone Castle Lord Qin Zhongtians signal, Qin Mengli announced the start of the banquet. After that, the music started playing, and dozens of graceful and beautiful female dancers started to dance gracefully around the center of the hall. Everyone exchanged their toast and enjoyed the delicacies. Of course, such an occasion was unrelated to Yang Dingtian. The majority of the time, he only needed to lower his head to enjoy the wine and meat. There would never be a time for him to speak because, in this kind of banquet, only those in the second or third row had the qualification to chat. However, even though he didnt find any trouble, troubles would still look for him. After White Cloud City Young Lord had drunk a mouth of wine, he spoke to West Prefecture City Lord, Ye Wuzheng, Uncle, I heard that your city guards had recently recruited a new cavalry commander. His martial arts is extremely outstanding. Why not let everyone experience it? Yang Dingtian was immediately angered in his heart as he muttered, Damn it. This little bastard insists on provoking me. West Prefecture City Lord Ye Wuzheng looked towards Yang Dingtian, Shen Lang, Commander Shen, this is White Cloud City Young Lord. Get up and give him a toast. Yang Dingtian frowned and didnt get up. He carried his wine cup and lifted it at Ye Feng. After that, he gulped it down in a shot. Yang Dingtians actions could be counted as extremely rude. Immediately, Ye Wuzhengs complexion changed slightly. The gaze he looked at Yang Dingtian was filled with chilliness. Ye Fengs complexion turned angry, Commander Shen, is this how you propose a toast? Yang Dingtian frowned and replied casually, Im Madam Qins cavalry guard commander and not White Cloud Citys commander. I dont have to be too courteous towards you. The words were filled with arrogance and unruly. Immediately, even White Cloud City Lord Ye Wuchengs complexion had also turned slightly. Haha... Ye Feng was angered to the point of laughing. He turned his gaze over and spoke, Hearsay Commander Shens martial arts is extremely outstanding. Otherwise, you wouldnt have managed to become Madam Qin guard commander. It just so happens that my guard commanders martial skills havent been improving. Why doesnt Commander Shen have a round or two with him? After Ye Feng spoke, a martial warrior opposite of Yang Dingtian stood up immediately. He held a sword in his hand and gave Yang Dingtian a bow, White Cloud City Cavalrys 2nd commander, Murong Shi hopes to ask Commander Shen for advice. Yang Dingtian looked towards Qin Mengli immediately. He discovered that she was talking and smiling with Ye Wucheng. She was smiling happily, causing her to be incomparably beautiful. Furthermore, she didnt even look towards Yang Dingtian. Rather, Su Meis beautiful eyes were filled with worry. Ye Feng looked at Yang Dingtian and smiled coldly, Dont tell me Commander Shen is afraid of fighting. You have to know you are representing Madam Qins reputation. Meanwhile, Murong Shi was also smiling slightly, Commander Shen, its extremely uninteresting to accompany a woman dance in the banquet. Competing in martial arts and crossing sword blows is better off with the wine. How about you and I head down to have a match to help everyone enjoy the wine. Yang Dingtian frowned, You can either do it yourself or find someone else if you wish to liven things up. Im not interested. Once such words were spoken, the atmosphere immediately turned silent. Everyone looked at Yang Dingtian in disbelief. Wasnt this person too arrogant and impudent? He actually dared to say he wasnt interested. Not to mention rejecting the battle in front of so many people. In fact, everyone present had a slight knowledge of Yang Dingtians true identity. They knew that he was Qin Menglis lover. To put it nicely, he could be called a lover. But to put it crudely, he was just a boy toy and gigolo. He was clearly a person of low position. What qualifications did he have to act so arrogant and impudent? The moment Yang Dingtian spoke out, Ye Wuchengs complexion turned cold. He stamped his wine cup onto the table. Meanwhile, West Prefecture City Lord Ye Wuzhengs complexion had already turned extremely cold. He didnt bother to conceal the anger in his gaze so much that he looked at Qin Mengli in a somewhat blaming manner. Yang Dingtian wasnt bothered by it as he lowered his head to eat and drink. It was as if nothing was related to him. Ye Feng had placed himself in a somewhat awkward situation. Immediately, he smiled towards Qin Mengli, Madam Qin, this guard commander of yours is indeed somewhat bizarre. Qin Mengli glanced at him casually and didnt speak. When Red Stone Castle castle lord Qin Zhongtian saw this, he immediately tried to smooth things over, Its a good thing that Commander Murong wishes to liven things up by having a martial art contest. My son is slow-witted, and it just so happens that Commander Murong can give him a pointer or two. After he spoke, a handsome youth stood up. He came to the center of the hall and spoke to Murong Shi, Commander Murong, please. Murong Shi could only smile slightly. He bowed and greeted, Young Castle Lord, please. After which, he unsheathed his sword and went down. He exchanged pointers with Red Stone Castle Young Lord at the center of the hall to liven things up. Yang Dingtian was not the slightest bit interested in this competition as he glanced at it uninterestedly. Approximately four to five minutes later, Red Stone Castle Young Lord had won by a meager. Murong Shi had lost by half a move and was flushed with anger as he withdrew. Normally speaking, the host had to be lenient towards their guests. However, Red Stone Castle Young Lord did not show any leniency for this battle. It was clear that Qin Zhongtian sensed the uneasiness in Qin Menglis heart and wanted to help her vent it out slightly. The meaning behind it was, This is my Northwest Qin Citys territory. Its not your White Cloud Citys turn to criticize others yet. Qin Zhongtian also looked down on Yang Dingtian, but he had no choice but to protect him at this moment. Although fine liquor and delicacies continued to be served uninterruptedly while Qin Zhongtian fawned upon everyone in every possible way after the competition, the banquet atmosphere could no longer be able to liven up. In less than an hour later, Ye Wucheng said that this was enough. He stood up and left. After that, everyone present placed down their wine cup and chopsticks in succession regardless of whether they had eaten their fill. Subsequently, the banquet had officially come to an end. ********************************************* After he returned back to his room, Qin Mengli had still yet to send anyone over to call for Yang Dingtian. It was as if both of them had sunk into a cold deadlock war. Yang Dingtian laid on top of his bed and did not remove his clothing. He closed his eyes and laid on top of the bed to rest immediately. He was planning how he was going to obtain the other half of Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map after entering the Northwest Qin City in his mind. As for the plan, Yang Dingtian had thought over it countless times in his mind. But ultimately, he couldnt form a plan out because it was indeed very hard. Yang Dingtian thought of numerous plans, but none of them was practical. All of a sudden, while Yang Dingtian had closed his eyes and rested, a burst of extremely light and fast footsteps could be heard from the outside. He immediately erected both his ears. Honestly speaking, he had never once heard such graceful and relaxed footsteps. It was totally different from human footsteps, so much that it was even faster than the cats on earth. Subsequently, a grey shadow entered from the window crack at lightning speed. After which, it wanted to get into the bottom of Yang Dingtians bed rapidly. Yang Dingtian made his move in an extremely quick manner as his palm stretched out suddenly. Immediately, that shadow bumped onto Yang Dingtians palm directly as he felt a sense of softness and smoothness. Yang Dingtian stared at it. Immediately, he saw a graceful and peerless small face as well as an exquisite and delicate petite body. This was a little girl. It seemed that she was around 140 centimeters tall. Her weight wouldnt exceed 25 to 30 kilograms and looked extremely charming and exquisite. She started off struggling and wanted to escape after she got captured by Yang Dingtian. Subsequently, she opened up her small mouth and wanted to bite onto Yang Dingtians hand. Finally, when she was at her wits end, she widened her big beautiful eyes and looked at Yang Dingtian miserably. Big brother, please let me off. Please save me! Her tone was extremely soft and pleasant to listen to. It was to the point that it brought along a trace of sweet and charming feel naturally. However, her articulation wasnt very clear. It sounded like a foreigner speaking Chinese on earth. After which, Yang Dingtian discovered that this girls ears looked extremely weird. Unexpectedly, they were pointy and small; furthermore, snow-white furs grew on them. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian got even more startled when he discovered that this girl was dragging a snow-white tail at the back of her buttock. And because she was nervous right now, it was trembling slightly as it swayed left and right. Her face was only about a palm-size big when he looked at it once again. It looked exactly like the melon seed face with a pair of big watery eyes. Her pupils were also slightly dark blue. You arent human? Yang Dingtian inquired softly. Im human... The girl replied with slight annoyance. Yang Dingtian carried her up and turned her around. He finally confirmed that she wasnt a human, and this was a little girl from the Foxman Race. She belonged to the demi-human race that lived at the edge of human civilization. Chapter 225: Scheming For The Map, Making Use of Ye Feng! Chapter 225: Scheming For The Map, Making Use of Ye Feng!Yang Dingtian was overjoyed at the turn of events. He was still worried about not being able to read the words on the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map. Now, there was unexpectedly a girl from the Foxman Race that had bumped into his hand. No wonder there was a trace of charming perfume when this girl just came in. The enticement of the Foxman Race was that they were born with a charming fragrance. This was also the first time Yang Dingtian had met someone from a genuine demi-human race. The demi-human race would never leave their own nation regardless of what race they were from, let alone stepping into human society. So, why would this girl from the Foxman Race appear here? It was at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps could be heard coming from the outside. Furthermore, there were sounds of swords colliding into each other. Its here. I can smell the fragrance. Its here! s?a??h th? N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Capture her... It was very clear that she had escaped here, and the group of people outside was trying to capture her. The girl from the Foxman Race immediately turned frightened when she heard those voices. She struggled and wanted to make her escape. Big brother, please release me. I will definitely repay you. The girl from the Foxman Race spoke out delicately. Immediately, her beautiful eyes suck into an extremely enchanting and gentle radiance. It instantly wanted to attract the human soul. Yang Dingtian was swayed by this seductive gaze. His palm couldnt help but loosen slightly. Immediately, the girl struggled free rapidly and escaped. This girl from the Foxman Race was born with the ability to bewitch others. Unexpectedly, this girl was able to trick Yang Dingtian at such a young age. It was unknown how outstanding this bewitching technique would be once she grew up. Yang Dingtian instantly overtook her before the girl from the Foxman Race had even managed to escape faraway. Subsequently, he captured her using his hand again. The girl from the Foxman Race struggled with all her strength and wanted to bite onto Yang Dingtian. Ultimately, all her means were of no use. Bang... At this moment, Yang Dingtians room was rammed open immediately. White Cloud City Young Lord, Ye Feng, brought along a group of people and charged-in while carrying a torch. Commander Shen, the person in your hand was my escaped slave. Why would it appear in your room? Ye Feng spoke coldly. Yang Dingtian smiled coldly, She escaped here herself. Oh, is it? Ye Feng smiled coldly, Why didnt she escape to the other rooms but escaped to your room? Yang Dingtian rebuked, You will have to ask her yourself. Ye Feng thought over it for a moment. Originally, he wanted to use this opportunity to create trouble with Yang Dingtian. Ultimately, he discovered that the reasoning was not adequate. He glared at him for a moment before waving his hand. Murong Shi, who was at his side, went forward and captured the girl from the Foxman Race from Yang Dingtians hand as if he were capturing a little chick. This big brother, quickly save me, quickly save me. This girl from the Foxman Race cried out towards Yang Dingtian, This bad person wishes to humiliate me. Thats why I had escaped. Quickly save me, quickly save me... When the words were spoken, Yang Dingtians complexion changed immediately. This bastard Ye Feng. The girl from the Foxman Race before him was beyond pretty, but she would at best not exceed 11 or 12 years old. Unexpectedly, he wanted to do those brutal things to her. Young Lord Ye, isnt it inappropriate for you to do this? Yang Dingtian commented coldly, Among the ten strict restrictions in Heaven Dao Union, there was a rule stating that all Heaven Dao Union members are not to have any associations with any demi-human race. The association includes making friends, slaughtering, capturing them, etc. You do realize that in the Heaven Dao Union, the taboo of demi-human race was second after the Evil Dao, right? Ye Fengs complexion changed slightly. Subsequently, he smiled coldly, Shen Lang, I have a better understanding of the strict restrictions from Heaven Dao Union than you. However, I can only give you a piece of advice. Its better not to know of some things, and its even better if you ignore them. Otherwise, you will never know how you die. Subsequently, Ye Feng gave Murong Shi a meaningful glance. The gaze was filled with unwillingness and merciless. Murong Shi nodded his head. He carried the girl from the Foxman Race and walked out. Immediately, he used his other hand and took out the sword on his waist. He wanted to kill someone, wanted to kill this girl from the Foxman Race. Why bother going out to kill. You can do it here. Kill it before Commander Shen. Burn it after you have killed it. Ye Feng commented coldly. Subsequently, he glanced at Yang Dingtian, Commander Shen, theres no demi-human race here. You must have been mistaken. Murong Shi pressed the girl from the Foxman Race down, causing her to kneel on the ground. After which, he lifted his sword and was about to slash down. Indeed, they were trying to destroy the evidence of their crimes before Yang Dingtian in a grandiose manner. His reasoning told Yang Dingtian that he shouldnt interfere with this matter even though this girl would be able to teach him the Foxman Race language and was very useful to him. However, the circumstance before him was too dangerous. His life would be in danger if he interfered without any considerations. On the contrary, the girl from the Foxman Race had quietened down. She widened her eyes and glanced at Yang Dingtian. Subsequently, she shut her eyes and awaited her death. Whoosh... Murong Shi slashed down his sword suddenly. Wait... Yang Dingtian took out his sword in a lightning-fast speed and blocked off Murong Shis sword. He was truly unable to witness a beautiful young life disappear in front of him just like that. At best, she would only be 11 to 12 years old. If she were to die like this, Yang Dingtian would never be able to forgive himself if he couldnt do anything to save her. Young Lord Ye, let her go. Yang Dingtian commented nonchalantly. No way! Ye Feng smiled coldly. Yang Dingtian struggled and hesitated for a good while before gnawing, I will use the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art to do an exchange with you. Arent you determined to obtain this 8th-grade mystic skill scroll? The moment he spoke these words, Ye Fengs complexion changed. His gaze went through huge changes. It was very clear that Yang Dingtians suggestion had caused him to be extremely affected. Ye Feng truly yearned for this mystic skill scroll. However, after lots of struggle and hesitation, Ye Feng still shook his head. Instead, he looked at Yang Dingtian and revealed an eccentric smile. Shen Lang, it is not impossible if you want this Foxman Races little hussy unless you agree to a request of mine. Ye Feng smiled. Yang Dingtians heart was moved as he replied, Elaborate on it. Ye Feng continued, As everyone knows, there would be a martial arts competition for every big banquet in the Northwest Qin City. For the martial arts competition, both sides martial arts level mustnt be too high or too low. Very soon, I will become Qin Citys son-in-law. To liven things up for my father-in-law, I will be participating in this martial arts competition personally to show my filial heart to him. However, it is really hard to select my opponent for this martial art competition. It isnt good if the persons status is too high because mishaps would inevitably happen during the competition. It is extremely inappropriate if a person of nobility dies at the banquet. However, it is even worse if the persons status is too low. It would make the competition appear to be of low class. Therefore, no matter how I choose, I cant find an appropriate opponent. Subsequently, Ye Feng looked at Yang Dingtian and smiled, And Commander Shen just so happens to suit being my martial arts competition opponent. If your position was placed highly, you could be said to be Madam Qins lover. Therefore, the status was sufficient. However, this identity couldnt be exposed to others. Your actual identity was just a lone martial warrior. No one would be bothered by it even if you had died. Thus, youre the best option to be the blood sacrifice of being my opponent in the martial arts competition. How is it? Ye Feng smiled, So long as you are willing to be my opponent for the martial arts competition during the banquet, Im willing to give this girl from the Foxman Race to you. How about that? Yang Dingtian narrowed his gaze immediately! Someone was trying to kill him! However, it was definitely not this Ye Feng before him. Sure, he hated Yang Dingtian to the bone and was eager to kill Yang Dingtian off. However, he definitely didnt have the intention to place Yang Dingtian down a dead end. Besides, he had even rejected the choice when Yang Dingtian was willing to hand over the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. This could only prove one thing. Someone had offered a price even higher than the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art in exchange for his life. This person could either be West Prefecture City Lord or Yan Bieqin. This duo definitely had the motive and reasons to put Yang Dingtian to his death. Furthermore, only these two people had the ability to offer something higher than the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. West Prefecture City Lord, Ye Wuzheng, had turned a blind eye to Qin Menglis unrestrained private life. He didnt wish to be bothered by it and had no ability to. But if Qin Mengli had really fallen in love with another man and wanted to be together with that man forever, that would be a fatal threat to Ye Wuzheng. As for Yan Bieqin, Yang Dingtian had no idea who this charismatic man was and why he was determined to obtain Qin Mengli. However, it was very obvious that it wasnt because of love, and there was definitely an ulterior motive. How is it? Is it so hard to make a choice? Ye Feng smiled coldly. Immediately, Yang Dingtian sunk into a struggle. Dont agree with it. All of a sudden, Su Meis voice resonated over from a distant location. The delicate and charming Su Mei walked over hurriedly. She pulled Yang Dingtian to a corner and whispered, Dont agree to it. They want your life. Yang Dingtian nodded his head, I know. I will not need to meddle with this as long as you are willing to save this Foxman Race girl. Su Mei shook her head, No. We wouldnt be able to. The demi-human race is the Heaven Dao Union taboo. Did you see those several big chariots from the White Cloud City that were completely sealed off? All Foxman Race slaves were packed inside. They were offered as a tribute to Lord Qin and Young Lord Qin by Ye Wucheng. Therefore, Madan Qin couldnt meddle with this and could only take it as she didnt see it. It was because this Ye Fengs evil nature had relapsed and wanted to get a Foxman Race girl to serve him. Otherwise, no one would know of this matter all the way to them being locked up in Qin Citys secret chamber. Yang Dingtian glared at Su Mei, So, you mean to say I can only helplessly watch this Foxman Race girl get killed and burnt away? Thats right. Su Mei commented, This is also Madams order. Yang Dingtian shook his head, No way. I cant do that. Im unable to witness a beautiful young life disappear before me helplessly. Im not so heartless. I have been to the East Parting Grassland. Im filled with affection towards the scenery and life there. When Yang Dingtian spoke these words, Su Mei was startled immediately. East Parting Grassland was the demi-human races habitat. It could also be counted as a prohibited area to the people in this world, and there were very few people who had been there. Of course, Yang Dingtian had never been there before. He was just hit upon by an idea. Thus, he had added this sentence to it. Subsequently, a plan was developed within his heart instinctively, a plan to obtain the other half of Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map. Furthermore, adding this sentence would make his plan seem exceptionally important. Furthermore, just when Ye Feng had put forward the martial art competition, Yang Dingtian had thought of an idea on how to obtain the other half of Mystic Flame map. Besides, the so-called martial arts competition by Ye Feng was also one of the most crucial points for this plan. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian immediately nodded his head at Ye Feng, I agree to it. I will be your opponent for the martial arts competition at the banquet. Chapter 226: Worship! Chapter 226: Worship!You have gone mad... Su Mei shrieked, Ye Feng is a 9-star Martial Mystic expert. You will die if you fight against him. Yang Dingtian replied firmly, Ive already decided. That was right. Yang Dingtian had decided to do it! Originally, he didnt wish to witness this beautiful young life being withered away! Furthermore, ever since he had come up with the plan to obtain the other half of Mystic Flame map in his heart, this martial art competition had immediately become part of the plan. Furthermore, it was one of the most crucial parts and was a necessity. A 9-star Martial Mystic class expert was one class and 14 levels above Yang Dingtian. It was definitely the strongest and most troublesome opponent Yang Dingtian was going to confront in his lifetime. But if Yang Dingtian had also broken through to the Martial Mystic class, Yang Dingtian would still possess some confidence in being able to defeat Ye Feng with the aid of 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. This battle was completely different from when he fought Qin Shaobai. When he was fighting against Qin Shaobai, Yang Dingtian held no assurance and confidence at all. He had brought along a dying conviction to the battle. But the current Yang Dingtian was different. As long as he had broken through to the Martial Mystic class, Yang Dingtian still had the confidence of defeating Ye Feng even if he were ten levels stronger than him, and he couldnt utilize his youngling sword. This includes his inability to use thunder attribute mystic skills as well. Su Mei looked at Yang Dingtian and spoke with agitation, Dont tell me you are not going to obey Madams order? Yang Dingtian looked at Su Meis pair of eyes and replied, Can you please inform her that I really love her. However, Im unable to agree with some of the standard ways she handles something as well as her character. I really love her. However, I wouldnt change my life principle just for her. Furthermore, because she had yet to reply to my question, therefore I wanted to leave after staying here for two days. But now, I have a reason to stay behind. After he spoke, Yang Dingtian went forward immediately and carried the girl from the Foxman Race away from Murong Shis sword. He told Ye Feng, Now, you can leave. S?a??h th? N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Ye Feng immediately laughed out, You have really forsaken your life. Enjoy while you can because this is going to be your last few days. You arent far from your death. Enjoy this little beauty from the Foxman Race while you can. Yang Dingtian rebuked coldly, Not everyone is as despicable as you. Whatever you say. Ye Feng smiled, I will not bicker with a person who is about to die. After which, Ye Feng brought his men and left. When he was at the doorway, he turned around and said, Shen Lang, you can enjoy this little fox but better hide it well. You will never be able to justify yourself once a lot of people have seen it. Although the strict restriction from Heaven Dao Union is just a cover for embarrassment, once it is completely revealed, there would still be people who would denounce you. After Ye Feng and his men had left, the room immediately sank into silence. Su Mei looked at Yang Dingtian with a complicated expression. She had no idea what to say momentarily. Shen Lang, is this worth it? Su Mei spoke in a somewhat bitter manner. Yang Dingtian shook his head, Its nothing to do with being worthy or not. I owe the Foxman Race a life. At that time, when I had wandered to the depths of East Parting Grassland, I was sneak attacked by the Jackal Race. I would have died if it werent because the Foxman Race had rescued me. Su Mei replied, Im not saying this. Im asking if its worth being so attentive to Madam. Yang Dingtian was slightly startled, This isnt something you should be saying, right? Su Mei mocked, Do you know that Madam changes a lover every year. No man would stay for more than half a month at her side. Those men who were discarded by her would obtain a large amount of money and estate. After that, to make up for them, she would betroth her personal maid to that man as his wife for them to form a complete family. You know, a lot of times, regardless of what she did, I would still need to be by her side accompanying her as her personal maid... Yang Dingtian frowned, You dont need to tell me such things in detail. I know. Of course, he wasnt too bothered by this stuff. However, he was currently acting as the man Qin Mengli was extremely infatuated with. Therefore, he had to act as if he seemed to be extremely bothered by it. Therefore, every year, Madam would change a personal maid. Furthermore, every maid must be pure. Su Mei continued, I was born poor. Therefore, after I became Madams personal maid this year, my life has changed completely, and I will leap to become one of the important figures in this world. Therefore, Im even more concerned than Madam for this years temporary partner. Because, to Madam, it was just a temporary partner that she was going to interact with for half a month. But to me, this was a lifelong partner. Su Meis beautiful eyes immediately sank into blurriness as she continued, Therefore, this year, I had practically widened up both my eyes and picked the man that I admire most. This man has to be smart and capable. However, he mustnt be too ambitious and mustnt be a power seeker. He needs to know how to love a woman. Furthermore, he needs to be extremely interesting. It would be best if he had traveled around the world and was extremely knowledgeable. Thus, I had picked you. Youre even better than my ideal partner. Although, before you were Madams temporary partner, I had already been attracted by you. And during that point of time, Yan Bieqin had already entered into Madams line of sight. I was extremely afraid and worried. Yan Bieqin was truly terrifying. Fortunately, during that point in time, you had met a crisis and was trapped inside the auction house by Ye Feng. Therefore, I decided to take the risk and brought you to Madam. Im selecting a lifelong husband for myself. Su Mei mocked, Your performances had completely gone beyond my expectations. I didnt expect that you would obtain victory against Yan Bieqin for the competition. Honestly speaking, during then, I had practically given up all hopes. But unexpectedly, you won. But what was even more unexpected was that Madam had actually fallen in love with you to the extent that I didnt even have the opportunity to accompany you because she wanted to monopolize you to herself. She didnt want to share with anyone, including me. Therefore, this could be counted as being enmeshed into a trap that was devised by myself. Su Mei smiled in sorrow. Yang Dingtian sighed, I didnt wish for this as well. I can only tell you that I had already met her 20 years ago. Furthermore, she had always been in my heart. That night, I discovered the plum blossom birthmark at her waist. Therefore, I managed to recognize her... Su Mei was immediately astonished when she heard this, No wonder, no wonder... Subsequently, Yang Dingtian smiled, You can be at ease. Even if I wanted to leave Madam, I would definitely get her to give you the freedom to pick your husband before I leave. I will get her to give you a number of estates and let you pick a man that you can entrust your life to. Su Mei immediately put forth a happy face and smiled, Im really grateful. After which, Su Mei continued, I shall make a move first then. I still need to inform Madam of what happened here. En! Yang Dingtian nodded. Su Mei left leisurely. Immediately after, the room only had Yang Dingtian and the girl from the Foxman Race. **************************************** This girl widened her beautiful eyes and looked at Yang Dingtian. Her eyes were filled with appreciation, confusion, and traces of fright. You, you really been to East Parting Grassland? The girl inquired. Yang Dingtian nodded, It was around five to six years ago. Why did you go there? The girl inquired, You humans have considered that place as a forbidden area. Practically, no humans had been there before. It was merely due to curiosity. I wanted to understand you all. I consider all of you like us. Yang Dingtian replied.Read more chapter on vipnovel.com Really? The beautiful eyes of the girl from the Foxman Race brightened up, You really consider us as the same species? But everyone else considered us like wild animals. They looked down on us and treated us as an alien species. They constantly invaded our territory and chased us off to the edge of the world, causing hundreds to over a thousand different races to squeeze and live in the barren East Parting Grassland. That is because theyre afraid of your races becoming strong. Yang Dingtian consoled, Because your mystic meridians talent is even stronger than the human even though your races wisdom is incomparable to humans. Furthermore, your lifespan is almost twice that of a human. Once all of you start to grow stronger, humans will face a crisis of extinction. But fortunately, your demi-human race constantly has internal conflicts. Furthermore, there isnt an outstanding leader that can unify all the races. What should we do then? Are you humans going to be our demi-humans enemy and bully us for every generation to come? The girl from the Foxman Race inquired, There are so many of you humans, and you are all so strong. There will be a day when humans will completely eradicate us. Yang Dingtian shook his head and replied, Humans do not have an absolute leader as well. And our internal power struggle is even more intense. Dont you all have the Heaven Dao Union? The girl of Foxman Race said. Yang Dingtian replied, The Heaven Dao Union doesnt have an absolute leader either. Furthermore, the biggest enemy of Heaven Dao Union is the Evil Dao. Before either one of these two big fractions had been completely eradicated, humans will never start a war against your demi-human race without any restraint. The girl of Foxman Race widened her eyes and looked at Yang Dingtian for a good while before asking, Big brother Shen Lang if youre to become the humans leader, how would you deal with our demi-human race? Yang Dingtian contemplated for a while before replying, Provide assistance, inter-marriage, suppression! Inter-marriage? The face of the girl of Foxman Race turned red, Howre you going to do it specifically? Yang Dingtian replied, Among the demi-human race, there are a lot of extremely smart and kindhearted races. Take, for example, the Minotaur Race C theyre diligent and kind hearted. They do not hold any ambitions at all. Humans will be able to form an alliance with them without any issue. Your Foxman Race is beautiful and enchanting. Your race is somewhat crafty, but overall, you all are still kindhearted and peaceful. Therefore, humans will be able to have inter-marriage with you. This way, their descendants will be extremely smart and have a long lifespan. Furthermore, the mystic meridians talent will be very high as well. As for the bloodthirsty Wolfman Race and Jackal Race, they have to be exterminated to prevent them from bringing harm to the world. As for the free and wild Lionman Race and Tigerman Race, I will break them up and let them gradually forget the portion of them being human, causing them to turn into wild animals completely. They would become this worlds free and wild creatures. In this way, at most several hundred years later, there would no longer be any opposition between the demi-human race and humanity. Both sides would join sides to become one completely as they enjoy all the grace from this world together. After Yang Dingtian spoke, the girl of Foxman Race immediately had her beautiful eyes brightened up. She mumbled to herself, Big brother, you said it really well. Your thinking and viewpoint are almost the same as my fathers. Chapter 227: Qin Mengli Surrenders! Past Events Chapter 227: Qin Mengli Surrenders! Past EventsAfter Yang Dingtian spoke, the girl of Foxman Race immediately had her beautiful eyes brightened up. She mumbled to herself, Big brother, you have said it really well. Your thinking and viewpoint are almost the same as my father. He always said that the demi-human races shouldnt be enemies with humans. Otherwise, we will court our own disaster. We have to learn everything about humans and fight for the right to have inter-marriage with humans. Ultimately, both sides will integrate into one. As a result, they would teach us the human language. Yang Dingtian was startled, Your father is really exceptional. Hes a wise man. Unfortunately, a lot of people arent willing to listen to him. The girl of Foxman Race replied, Therefore, he didnt dare to speak out such thoughts. Furthermore, if he were to do something that was somewhat related to that logic, he would immediately turn into our demi-human races enemy. Therefore, we are being chased after by the whole demi-human race, and our clan escaped in all directions. We have escaped to your humans territory. Originally, we wanted to seek asylum, but who knew that we would actually be captured and turned into slaves. Humans are even worse than those demi-human races that are chasing after us. Im only 12 years old. Yet, that man wanted to violate me. If it werent because of my bewitching art, I would have fallen into his evil clutches. Only death would await them if a female of Foxman Race were to lose their innocence before 20 years. Thats right. There are a lot of bad guys in the human race, especially those people who hold the most authority. Their eyes are fixated on strength and authority. They dont even care about their own species life, not to mention the demi-human race. Yang Dingtian commented. If only you could become the highest authority personnel for the human race. It would be great. The girl of Foxman Race replied. Yang Dingtian smiled, I will try my best. Whats your name? Im called Jier Ashina! The girl of Foxman Race replied, Big brother Shen Lang, where did you meet our Foxman Race during that time? Im unsure of where exactly it is. There was a lake, a crescent lake, and the water would turn colors. A moment, it would be red. A moment later, it would be green. Another moment later, it would turn blue. Yang Dingtian replied. Sky Moon Lake! Jier cried out, Thats our Foxman Races romance sacred location. It was the most beautiful place in this world. Youre really lucky. Yang Dingtian smiled slightly. Of course, Yang Dingtian had no idea of anything related to the demi-human race as well as the affairs in East Parting Grassland. It was all taught to him by his master, Dongfang Niemie. Dongfang Niemie was practically one of the people who had traveled the most in this world. Dozen of years ago, he had been to the East Parting Grassland and had also been to the Sky Moon Lake. However, during that time, he wasnt rescued by others. Rather, he rescued others. Dozen of years ago, he was already extremely strong, and the demi-humans were practically not a match for him. For the whole journey, he killed a lot of demi-humans. Therefore, he had a full understanding of a lot of demi-human races. He even learned a lot of the demi-human races wordings and language. The Foxman Race was a small race. Therefore, he did not have the time to learn it. Jier, from today onwards. Can you teach me your demi-human races language and words? Yang Dingtian inquired. Sure... Jier cheered, Im really looking forward to the day big brother becomes formidable. Perhaps, when the time comes, Jier would even become the peace emissary for the demi-humans and humans. Yang Dingtian smiled, Hopefully, that day would arrive earlier. After which, Jier sat down impatiently and taught Yang Dingtian the Foxman Race language and words. However, not long after, Su Mei appeared once again after Yang Dingtian had roughly learned a hundred words. Madam wishes to meet you! This woman could no longer endure any longer. Their cold war had temporarily come to an end. ******************************************* Qin Mengli stayed at the tallest and most sumptuous room in the Red Stone Castle. Furthermore, the room only had Qin Mengli staying within. When Yang Dingtian entered the room, he was almost blinded by how luxurious this place was. As before, Qin Mengli stood behind the window with her back facing Yang Dingtian. She was wearing a purple nightgown that looked smooth like water as it caused her perky body to look even curvier. Yang Dingtian came to a stop when he was around ten meters away from her. He didnt approach her directly.Visit web novel. live If You like manga , comics Get rid of that girl from the Foxman Race. After which, I will handle the martial arts competition between you and Ye Feng. Qin Mengli commented. Sorry, I cant do it. Yang Dingtian replied. You dont have a choice, Shen Lang. Qin Mengli turned around immediately, This is an order! Yang Dingtian replied calmly, Madam Qin, Im not your subordinate. You can not order me. Immediately, Qin Mengli was angered to the point that her body started trembling. She turned her body around and spoke to Yang Dingtian coldly, Shen Lang, dont forget your identity. Dont argue with me. Whatever I gave to you, I can also take all of them back. Dont become arrogant and willful because of the special kindness Im showing for you. Qin Mengli! Yang Dingtian yelled coldly, You can humiliate yourself. But dont insult me. Qin Menglis delicate body trembled as she spoke with chilliness, What did you say? Yang Dingtian rebuked coldly, Tell me, what have I obtained from you. I dont care about being this nonsense thousand-men cavalry commander. Let me tell you once again. I love you. However, Im not the slightest bit interested in being your house pet. Furthermore, Im getting more and more disappointed with you. If it werent because of this girl from Foxman Race, I was already preparing to leave. What, whatre you trying to say? Qin Mengli was angered to the point that her whole body started trembling. Im saying that you disappointed me. Yang Dingtian replied coldly, You, this vulgar and timid woman! Yang Dingtian didnt even bother to conceal the contempt within his eyes while he spoke. Shen Lang, you really think that I wouldnt kill you? Qin Mengli spoke coldly with a trembling voice. You must be joking. I dont fear death. Why would I be afraid of it? Yang Dingtians expression turned even more disdainful, Ye Feng wishes to kill me. Your bastard husband had also spent a large price to kill me. Yan Bieqin wishes to kill me as well. Now, you are also included. I dont care about it anymore. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian sighed, I have heard about your past events. Countless men flocked to you like ducks as they competed with each other to become your toy for half a month. You must be extremely pleased with it, right? You feel that youre like a queen as you played with these men within your palms. Stop joking, think over it thoroughly. What did these men lose? They enjoyed half a month with you for the price of nothing. After that, theyre still able to marry your personal maid and obtain a huge amount of wealth. Exactly who is toying with who? All of them treated you like a fool, understand? Yang Dingtians malicious speech had finally caused Qin Mengli to explode out. She took out her sharp sword and charged toward Yang Dingtian suddenly. She ruthlessly slashed down from Yang Dingtians head. Yang Dingtian stood there motionlessly. Like before, he stared at her coldly, and his face was filled with disdain and contempt. Whoosh... The sword tip scraped Yang Dingtians head as it cut off a strand of long hair. It cut off a small piece of skin from Yang Dingtians ear and left behind a long and shallow wound on his neck. Fresh blood flowed out immediately. Ah... Qin Mengli suddenly threw the sword away and hugged onto Yang Dingtian as she wept loudly, Why? You devil. You kept on saying that you love me, but why are you hurting me over and over again? Im just trying to help you find back your ego. I dont wish for the woman I love to be like a walking corpse. Yang Dingtian replied coldly. Qin Mengli was truly hurt. Every word from Yang Dingtian was like a knife cutting the weakest part in her heart. It caused her to feel extremely humiliated and painful. It had completely torn away at the lies she had been telling herself all along. You think I wish to do this? You think I was born this shameless? Qin Mengli wept, My father is a pervert tyrant. He ruined me when I was 17 years old. Furthermore, he even killed my first lover. For power, he had married me off to Ye Wuzheng, who I dont love at all. This was fine. But because of his perverted monopolized heart, he had personally turned my newlywed husband into a eunuch on the day I married Ye Wuzheng, causing me to be a grass widow my whole life... Yang Dingtian was immediately stupefied. He knew that the Northwest Qin City was very dirty because he could tell from how Qin Shaobai acted. However, he never knew that Qin City was actually filthy to this degree. Furthermore, he never imagined that this loose morals Qin Mengli would actually have such a past. Qin Mengli had completely crumbled when she spoke the biggest secret in her heart. She wept in Yang Dingtians embrace pitifully. Yang Dingtian hugged onto her well developed delicate body and inquired softly, What happened to that bastard later on? Qin Mengli continued, 15 years ago, he was killed by my brother personally. When he was at his death door, I had personally castrated him. Furthermore, I had chopped him into dozens of pieces. Immediately, Yang Dingtian was even more shocked and silent. This might perhaps be the Northwest Qin Citys top secret. In the rumors, the previous Qin City Lord had died peacefully. Furthermore, he had only died eight years ago. Unexpectedly, he had already died 15 years ago. Furthermore, he died under the hand of his own son. Big brother didnt immediately ascend the throne after killing him. Rather, he recommended a puppet that he had prepared beforehand. He utilized some means and had caused it to look exactly like that bastard. It was until eight years ago did he make that puppet to die. Qin Mengli narrated. Yang Dingtian was speechless for a good while before sighing, Your older brother is really skillful and strategic. Yang Dingtian already knew of this name Qin City Lord, Qin Wanchou. He knew that this person was powerful and was the number one overlord of the Northwest Continent. However, he had upgraded this persons rank in his heart by another level today. This person was perhaps not inferior to his master, Dongfang Niemie and Ximen Wuya. It was just that he was even better in endurance. Now, Ximen Wuya and Dongfang Niemie were no longer around. It was really unknown who would be able to stop him from leading the Northwest Qin City to prosperity. If he were allowed to continue growing, the worlds three sects would become a total of four sects. Otherwise, either the Mystic Heaven Sect or the Yin Yang Sect would be eliminated and be replaced by Northwest Qin City. Yang Dingtian wasnt very clear of the Northwest Qin Citys strategy. Still, from how he had set up the Cloud Heaven City and Southwest Continent, in another ten years, Southwest Continent and Northwest Continent would be completely turned into Northwest Qin Citys territory if Yang Dingtian werent going to block him off with all his strength.

Chapter 228: Entering Qin City!Currently, the Southwest Continent was under the Sky Phoenix Pavilion. Its previous pavilion master had suddenly disappeared. During the Heaven Dao Union conference, Sky Phoenix Pavilion had already started following Qin City blindly. At the moment, the Cloud Heaven City had already fallen into Qin Clans control. In addition, Qin City had used the Heaven Dao Unions name to entice and control the Raging Flames Castle and other underground factions in Northwest Continent without any restraint. In fact, Qin Citys evil clutches already covered the whole Southwest Continent and the Northwest Continent. Yang Dingtian had always treated the Northwest Qin City as his life nemesis. However, in Qin Wanchous eyes, the Cloud Heaven City was merely a portion of his battle strategy. Furthermore, Qin Wanchou had an extremely outstanding successor, Qin Huaiyu! In Yang Dingtians heart, he had always treated the Northwest Qin City as a martial faction. But from today onwards, he had to change his opinion about it. Perhaps, the Yin Yang Sect still treated themselves as a martial faction and operated as such. However, the direction Northwest Qin City was heading was to become a country. Southwest Continent together with Northwest Continent. The territory Northwest Qin City had controlled of was already several times bigger than any country on earth. This was already a powerful country. It was just that its governance was somewhat more scattered for the time being. Shen Lang, Im willing to return to the old me. However, I need time to do it. Qin Mengli hugged onto Yang Dingtian and spoke softly, Qin Huaiyu had already sent someone over to warn me about your affairs. They wont interfere if Im going to continue living so shamelessly and extravagantly. However, if Im going to stop my relationship with Ye Wuzheng and be together with you, they will use all of their strength to stop it. I understand... Yang Dingtian immediately smiled bitterly. Yang Dingtian knew that the biggest enemy in Qin Wanchous eyes was not the Cloud Heaven City but White Cloud City.read comics on our webnovel.live As the Northwest Heaven Dao Union second strongest faction as well as being in-laws with Mystic Heaven Sect, the White Cloud City was the biggest stumbling block for the Northwest Qin City to unify Northwest and Southwest Continent. Therefore, on the surface, Qin Mengli had to be Ye Wuzhengs wife. Subsequently, Qin Wanchou wanted to marry off his fourth daughter to Ye Feng, the idiot Young City Lord. Shen Lang, therefore, we mustnt rush this and can only take it slowly. Qin Mengli commented softly, Although I love you, Im still the Qin Clan member. Big brother is the person who dotes on me the most. Therefore, I will have to think about Qin Clans interest as well. Yang Dingtian shut his eyes slowly and sighed, I understand. I will not make things hard for you. Qin Mengli kissed Yang Dingtian and said, En, let me handle the rest. You dont have to be bothered about it. Yang Dingtian replied solemnly, Ah Li. When I said that, I would not make things hard for you referred to, not forcing you to leave Ye Wuzheng as well as wandering around the world with me. This includes me not killing Ye Feng during the martial arts competition. However, you can dream on if you want me to hand over the girl of Foxman Race! No way! Qin Mengli, Is she that beautiful to the point that youre unwilling to part with her? Shes only 12 years old. And this has nothing to do with her loveliness. This would still be my attitude to it even if she were extremely ugly. Yang Dingtian spoke coldly, You know, I hate this point of yours the most. Your own life is life, but others lives arent? That was a beautiful and pure life. I will absolutely not let her die without any reason. I wandered around the world and is not interested in being a power seeker. Im only interested in the ultimate secret behind this world. My dream is to rescue this world completely. Therefore, I treasure all kinds of life. I will never be able to do it if you want me to handover this girl unless you kill me. Yang Dingtian replied decisively. Immediately, Qin Mengli looked at Yang Dingtian quietly. When she saw Yang Dingtians passionate and brave gaze, her heart had somewhat fallen into intoxication and adoration unknowingly. Furthermore, there was a kind of inferiority. Alright. I shall follow you. However, that girl of Foxman Race cannot stay beside you. You have to send her here and let her be by my side. Qin Mengli replied. Sure. Yang Dingtian commented, I had already planned to do so even if you werent going to ask for it. However, I will need to look for her and learn the Foxman Races language regularly. Qin Mengli replied, Whats so fun about learning the Foxman Races language. Its just a small demi-human race. S?a??h the N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian replied, Im extremely interested in any kind of unlearned knowledge. You can see her anytime you want if shes at my side. Qin Mengli replied, Let me handle the martial arts competition as well. I will never let you fall into a dangerous situation. I will not let the person I love to suffer from any injuries. Yang Dingtian immediately turned silent before replying, As a matter of fact, Im prepared to compete in the contest. What? Why? Qin Mengli inquired. I love you and wish to protect you. I dont want to hide behind your back and live without any purpose. Yang Dingtian continued, Furthermore, Im fully confident that I will be able to defeat Ye Feng. Impossible. His cultivation is way higher than you. Qin Mengli replied. In short, Im confident. Yang Dingtian replied, Furthermore, I had agreed to his contest. Thus, Im even safer. You have to know that the person who wanted to kill me is not Ye Feng, but your husband, Ye Wuzheng. Indeed, he couldnt do anything to you, but it was the same for you as well. You wouldnt be able to stop it if he really wished to kill me. If youre thinking of ways to refuse the competition, he would still think of other ideas to kill me, and it would be even harder to defend against it. Qin Mengli bit onto her jade tooth, and her beautiful face became ice-cold. Yang Dingtian was right. She was the person with the third highest authority in Qin City. However, all her status was due to the pamper of Qin Wanchou. She controlled a terrifying amount of wealth but had practically no authority at all. She didnt own any territory and didnt have any troops that were loyal to her. If they were going to have a battle, she wouldnt hold an advantage against Ye Wuzheng. Once the big brother had resolved the issue with White Cloud City, I will definitely dismember Ye Wuzheng into a thousand pieces. Qin Mengli said coldly. After which, her gaze turned gentle again as she replied, I really wish for that day to arrive earlier. When the time comes, I will be able to marry you legitimately. Yang Dingtian hugged Qin Mengli silently. He didnt give a reply to her speech. Qin Mengli whispered, Husband, dont you look forward to marrying me? Im certainly looking forward to it. I even dream of marrying you. Yang Dingtian said, However, youre ultimately different from me. You still love the life of being rich. Meanwhile, I prefer traveling around. Do you like to visit brothels? All of a sudden, Qin Mengli inquired. Yang Dingtian shook his head, Nope. Over the years, I had basically no contact with any woman. Once we get married, I will wait for you at home while you travel around. You can just return home once a year or two and accompany me for one or two months. Im not a woman who is incapable of enduring loneliness. In fact, I only have a partner in a year, even when I was self-indulgent. Furthermore, they stayed for less than half a month. Thus, most of the time, I would be alone... Qin Mengli whispered. Before she finished speaking, she discovered that Yang Dingtian was frowning in unhappiness. Qin Mengli chuckled, Darling, youre getting jealous when you listen to my past... Alright. Stop talking about it. Yang Dingtian replied impatiently. Sure, sure. Everything that happened in the past is my fault, as I didnt keep myself pure for you who didnt appear until now. In the future, I will use my remaining life to compensate you... Qin Mengli spoke delicately. From this point on, Yang Dingtian and Qin Menglis cold war came to an end. ****************************************** During the night, Yang Dingtians thoughts were in a whirl when he saw Qin Mengli, who was in his embrace, sleeping soundly with a face that was filled with happiness. At the start, Yang Dingtian was disgusted and held contempt for her. But now, he was filled with sympathy for her. Originally, he only had thoughts of exploiting her. Now, it had somewhat changed. He had already planned out how to obtain the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map in his mind. In that case, his attitude toward this woman had somewhat changed as well. The best ending would be obtaining the Mystic Flame map and stop using his Shen Lang identity. In name, he would continue wandering around the world. But in reality, he would never be back here again and would make Qin Mengli think that her lover, Shen Lang, had already died while wandering around the world. It was true that she would be hurt, but her heart might not be filled with happiness. At the very least, there was a man that loved her till he died within her heart. ******************************* The next day, at around nine oclock in the morning. Both troops left the Red Stone Castle and continued their journey toward the Northwest Qin City. On that morning, there were quite a number of people who saw Yang Dingtian leaving Qin Menglis room. However, all of them turned a blind eye to it. There was an additional group of troops other than Qin Mengli and White Cloud City troops when they left the Red Stone Castle. Red Stone Castle Master, Qin Zhongtian, led a group of three hundred men and advanced towards the Qin City together. He also wanted to participate in the Qin Clan Lords birthday celebration. A few days before, Yang Dingtian would still put on an act and rode his horse as he traveled the journey as this group of thousand-men cavalrys commander. But for the subsequent days, he no longer put forth an act. He had basically spent the rest of his time inside Qin Menglis chariot. In any case, there wouldnt be any danger for this whole journey. Most of the time was spent playing chess and fooling around with Qin Mengli. Either that or they would be playing cards. Yang Dingtian had also discovered that Qin Menglis need for that sort of stuff was extremely low, so much that it was a little weaker than the majority of the women. What she preferred was the feeling of Yang Dingtian accompanying and pampering her. This had indeed caused Yang Dingtian to be somewhat startled. After a long period of interactions, he discovered that Qin Mengli was actually relatively simple-minded. For the rest of the time, Yang Dingtian had used it to study the Foxman Race words and language together with the Jier, the girl of Foxman Race. At the start, it was only Yang Dingtian learning from her. After which, Qin Mengli had also joined in the fun. However, she stopped learning and was bored to death after learning less than a hundred words. She pestered Yang Dingtian not to learn it as well since she didnt want to study it. She would either run over to act coquettishly, kiss, or be intimate with him. As such, it had caused the 12 years old Jier to turn red from embarrassment. At the start, Yang Dingtian played the game of Go with Qin Mengli. There was also Chinese chess. But ultimately, they played the Gomoku the most. (NOTE: Gomoku is another strategy-based board game.) This had gone beyond Yang Dingtians expectation because Gomoku was extremely simple when it was compared to the game of Go. Furthermore, it couldnt be played on a normal tabletop. Originally, he felt that Qin Menglis thoughts were very deep and would definitely be fond of the game of Go. But in reality, ever since they started to play Gomoku, Qin Mengli had practically not touched the game of Go anymore. When they were alone, they would play Gomoku or Chinese chess. But in the end, they no longer played Chinese chess and only played Gomoku. When Su Mei was around, the three of them would play Fight The Landlord. Finally, they added in Jier, and the four of them started to play mahjong. Yang Dingtian truly didnt want to produce mahjong. Yang Dingtian finally didnt have the heart to continue this on when he saw Jier Ashina standing at the side pitifully every single time, causing him to produce mahjong. From then on, it became impossible to stop once he started it. Mahjong was truly worthy of being called the king of entertainment. Ever since the four of them started to play mahjong, the majority of their entertainment activities inside the chariot had become playing mahjong. Gomoku and Chinese chess became rarely played, and the game of Go had been left untouched since then. Once they started playing mahjong, the time passed by even faster. However, whenever Yang Dingtian ran into the West Prefecture City Lord, Ye Wuzheng occasionally, the chilliness in his gaze became even denser. Even Ye Fengs gaze was like looking at a dead man when he saw Yang Dingtian. Just like that, Yang Dingtian played mahjong and studied the Foxman Race words and language throughout the journey. During the day, they would rush their journey and would rest during the night. This group of enormous troops wouldnt even run into any vermin, let alone any dangers. Furthermore, every time they passed by a city, they would enjoy sumptuous entertainment. And during the next day, when they were about to leave, their troops would increase by a dozen to several hundred men. When it was about five days before Qin Wanchous 50th birthday, Yang Dingtian and the others had finally made their way into the Northwest Qin City; the true central location of the Northwest Continent. Qin City Young Lord, Qin Huaiyu, had personally brought his men and welcomed them outside the city that was 50 miles away. Of course, Yang Dingtian didnt appear when Qin Huaiyu had come over to welcome and meet them. In fact, Qin Mengli kept on requesting him to be by her side at all times. However, Yang Dingtian rejected it to show that he was not the slightest bit interested in holding power. Afterward, near 5,000 troops entered the Qin City majestically under Qin Huaiyus lead! Chapter 229: The Prowess of Qin City! Cultivating in Seclusion Chapter 229: The Prowess of Qin City! Cultivating in SeclusionWhen Yang Dingtian finally saw the legendary Northwest Qin City, it was a sight that would be etched in his memory. Until now, Yang Dingtian had visited many of the influential forces headquarters. The Yin Yang Sect was constructed around mountains. It was imposing and majestic while containing the ancient aura. There were also traces of aloof atmosphere and had the implication of a martial worlds faction. The Cloud Heaven City was constructed on mountain peaks. It was towering and intimidating while containing a severe aura. The Temple of Ten Thousand Blood was constructed within the mountain that was ten thousand meters in height. It was the most bizarre and had uncanny artistry. Be it the Yin Yang Sect, Cloud Heaven City, or the Temple of Ten Thousand Blood, they might be massive and bizarre-looking, but their population didnt exceed twenty or thirty thousand. But Northwest Qin City was completely different. The Northwest Qin City was like the most completed city. In fact, the Northwest Qin City was indeed a city. This city was smaller than West Prefecture City but had a few hundred thousand residents. As compared to the West Prefecture City, the Northwest Qin City was more like a military fort. The entire Qin City was separated into the inner and outer city. The outer city had walls that were a few dozen meters in height and over a dozen meters in thickness. The top of the city walls was packed with soldiers and giant crossbows. In the air, there was a team of patrolling Golden Lion Vulture riders. The Northwest Qin City could only be considered as being exceptionally impressive and grand. But in fact, the interior of the city was mostly square-shaped and made of grey bricks and black roof tiles. The rooftop of the houses didnt have elaborate designs. They might look magnificent, but they were not related to being gorgeous. The layout of the houses was also squarish and symmetrical. On the spacious limestone streets, it was straight and unobstructed with rare bending areas. This city actually looked rather rigid! But Yang Dingtian had to admit that among the influential forces, this was the most impressive headquarters. The other factions would be either manor that were slightly bigger or giant castles. Only the Northwest Qin City was considered a true city. The Qin Clan Lords ambition was prominent. Perhaps, he didnt just want to be the clan head of a faction but a king of a nation. ************************************************* Inside the Qin City, there was a racket of human voices. Most of the people who came and went were here to offer their birthday congratulations. Of course, this grand occasion wasnt comparable to the Yin Yang Sects decennial Tribute Ceremony! In comparison, the Yin Yang Sect set up was much higher as the only people that could enter the mountain were the Heaven Dao Unions factions. Furthermore, the faction leader would only be able to bring in slightly over ten subordinates to enter the sect and offer their tributes. The rest of the people would have to stay behind at the Eastern Cloud Prefecture. The Northwest Qin City didnt set a boundary that was a thousand miles away. Factions of various statuses were able to visit and offer their congratulations. Furthermore, every faction would bring along a huge group. Since Qin City was massive, they were all able to fit inside. Hence, the people who visited to offer birthday congratulations for the Qin City Lords 50th birthday were far more than the Yin Yang Sects decennial ceremony. The number of people might be overwhelming; the order within the city was still very neat and tidy. Every few hundred meters, Yang Dingtian, would see a team of patrolling soldiers wearing black. They were fully armed and looked grim and sharp. Yang Dingtian used his eyes to estimate that there were at least 20 to 30 thousand soldiers and cavalries just within the Northwest Qin City! Suddenly, Yang Dingtian had a clear understanding that the Cloud Heaven City and the Northwest Qin City were in completely different levels. The Black Blood Castle had 3,000 Black Blood Cavalry soldiers, and it was already the largest military force of the Cloud Heaven City. Even after adding the disciples of the Cloud Heaven City and the military forces from other castles, the total military power of the Cloud Heaven City wouldnt exceed 10,000 men. But for the Northwest Qin Clan, just Qin City alone would have a 50,000-strong military force. Of course, this was just the military forces of the Qin City, and they had yet to include the 3,000-mile territory governed by the Qin City. Within the 1,000-mile territory of the Cloud Heaven City, most of the forces were vassal forces. But within the 3,000-mile territory of the Northwest Qin City, they were all managed by direct line descendants of the Qin Clan. It also meant that all the personnel within this 3,000-mile territory would receive orders from Qin City. For those vassal subjects within the Qin Citys various other territories, it would extend more than 10,000 miles. Purely in terms of territory and military power, Qin City already surpassed the Yin Yan Sect and Mystic Heaven Sect. Yang Dingtian clearly knew in his heart that it was impossible to launch a frontal assault at the Northwest Qin City. If they were to fight with cities and lands, ten Cloud Heaven Cities still wouldnt be a match for the Qin City. The mobilization strength of the Qin City was ten times to a few dozen times more than the Cloud Heaven City. There was only one method to defeat the Qin City, that would be to defeat Qin Wanchou, who was the pillar supporting the sky of Qin City. But Qin Wanchou was a Grandmaster class expert, and among the worlds experts, he was currently holding the top three rankings. If Yang Dingtian wanted to defeat him, he would need to wait until he was able to defeat Dongfang Bingling first. If Yang Dingtian were to win the martial contest and obtain the city lord position at the end of the year, the first thing he had to do was to clear up the interior. He didnt only have to eliminate the opposing clans, and the Qin Citys infiltrators, he had to conform the entire Cloud Heaven Citys 1,000-mile territory completely. He had to do things more thoroughly than Ximen Wuya and turn the entire 1,000-mile territorys vassal subjects into his direct subjects. He would have to turn the factions like the Iron Sword Hall into forces like the Black Blood Castle, which took direct orders from the Cloud Heaven City. Only after doing all those things, would they have the ability to resist the annexing from Qin City. As for the counterattack, it would be impossible unless Yang Dingtians cultivation surpassed Qin Wanchou. Yang Dingtians biggest mission after becoming Cloud Heaven City Lord was to conform to Cloud Heaven Citys 1,000-mile territory and turn it into a fist. ******************************************* After entering the inner city, Qin Mengli immediately went to pay her respects to the Qin City Lord, Qin Wanchou. As her lover, Yang Dingtians current status would never suffice for such a meeting. Hence, if it werent for the martial contest with Ye Feng, Yang Dingtian wouldnt even have the qualification to meet with Qin Wanchou from start to end! As such, after Qin Mengli paid her respects to Lord Qin Wanchou, Yang Dingtian stayed inside Qin Menglis residence and basically never left. Qin Menglis private residence was around forty hectares in size, and it belonged to Qin Mengli alone. This place was absolutely safe for Yang Dingtian! This was also the only residence that had things like flowers and plants, making it more like a manor. It could be considered as one of the Qin Citys largest manors. The entire residence had over 2,000 individuals. There were a few hundred maids, a few hundred warriors, and a few hundred servants! These people were entirely loyal and belonged to Qin Mengli. When Yang Dingtian entered this place, the servants were all respectful on the surface, but their eyes were filled with disdain. Especially some of the veteran housekeepers who didnt even behave politely. From today onwards, you will be staying in this courtyard. An elder wearing an embroidered robe led Yang Dingtian to a rather secluded courtyard. This courtyard was in the northwest corner of the residence, and it was where Qin Mengli would use, especially for her lovers. Qin Mengli would return to Qin City two to three times a year, half of the year would be spent in this residence. Hence, these servants had already witnessed seven or eight of her previous lovers. These lovers would only stay for at most ten days in the residence. Once Qin Mengli was sick of them, she would wed her lover to her personal maid and bestow the lover with an estate and a business in Qin City or West Prefecture City. Hence, in the eyes of the residences veterans, Qin Menglis lovers were no different from servants as they would ultimately have to marry a servant. The veterans of this residence believed themselves to the Qin Menglis close family while her lovers were outsiders even among servants; thus, they didnt even put the lovers in their eyes. Yang Dingtian paid no attention to the cold shoulders that the residences servants were giving him. This courtyard was secluded and quiet, making it even better for staying. When that veteran housekeeper left, he spoke while acting indifferent, During this period, there will be many esteemed guests visiting Madam. If Young Master Shen didnt get summoned, it is best to stay in this courtyard to avoid being embarrassed. This statement was extremely impolite to the point of being rude. Yang Dingtian didnt mind and smiled. Great! ******************************************* When Qin Mengli returned to the courtyard, it was already night time and the equivalence of the Earths 9 pm. It was apparent that she had accompanied her elder brother for dinner and had a long conversation. Qin Menglis expression instantly turned cold when she noticed Yang Dingtian staying in the most secluded courtyard. She immediately issued an order, Everyone in residence is to assemble in front of the grand hall! Half an hour later, more than 2,000 servants were gathered at the plaza in front of the grand hall. Qin Mengli stood on the platform and held Yang Dingtians hand while yelling out coldly, Everyone, kneel! In an instant, more than 2,000 individuals knelt in unison. Remember, from today onwards, this man, Shen Lang, will be this residences Master and the only Master. Qin Mengli spoke in a stern voice, I dont care what the outsiders are saying, but in this residence, he is my husband! Everyone on the plaza was astonished as they looked at Yang Dingtian with surprised expressions. Did you hear me? Qin Mengli asked in a cold voice. Yes! Everyone responded in unison. S?a?ch* Th? N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Then, are you not going to greet your Master? Qin Mengli questioned. Everyone immediately kowtowed to Yang Dingtian and greeted, These servants pay their respects to Master! especially that veteran, who spoke rudely to Yang Dingtian today. His face was terrified, and his head was bleeding as he kowtowed to Yang Dingtian. Everyone, please get up, I have troubled everyone. Yang Dingtian smiled. Are you not going to thank your master? Qin Mengli asked while giving a cold glance to that housekeeper with the bleeding forehead. Everyone stood up, timidly, and yelled out, Thank you, Master! ******************************************************* On the couch... Qin Mengli was feeding Yang Dingtian some grapes while speaking gently, Shen Lang, my elder brother flared up on me today. What happened? Yang Dingtian asked. In the past, Ye Wuzheng would put on an act and reside in my residence. During the family dinner today, I immediately told Ye Wuzheng not to enter and for him to stay in other residences. I had also said that he shall not take another step in my residence ever. When the elder brother heard it, he immediately flared up and immediately wanted to send someone to kill you. Qin Mengli continued, I said if you died, I would also die in front of him. Immediately after, he smashed his wine cup! Yang Dingtian let out a bitter smile and said, You are too impatient. I truly cannot wait for that day. Qin Mengli said in a tender voice, Originally, I wanted to brag to my elder brother about how good you are. I didnt expect to anger him and didnt have the chance to say anything else. It is fine. Yang Dingtian hugged her tightly and said, I dont mind the eyes of others. After I defeat Ye Feng during your elder brothers birthday banquet, I will accompany you for another period and will continue wandering in the world. When Yang Dingtian said this, Qin Menglis beautiful eyes turned dull while she spoke in a soft voice, Cant you stay? I cannot bear to be separated from you for even a single day! Yang Dingtian laughed and said, A love that can last longer is better than spending time with each other every day. As long as our hearts are together, even if we are 10,000 miles apart, it would feel like we are close to one another. My husband! After hearing Yang Dingtians speech, Qin Mengli got emotional and spoke in a soft voice, Tens of thousands of people will come to offer congratulations to my elder brothers 50th birthday. Thus, I will be very busy for the time being, and I will not be able to accompany you all the time. It is fine. I just happen to have to cultivate for these few days. It is for preparation to deal with that foolish Ye Feng. Yang Dingtian replied. Can you really win? Qin Mengli asked with concern. I can. Yang Dingtian said, From tomorrow onwards, I will reside in the most secluded place and cultivate in seclusion. Ah Li, do you have a place that is uninhabited for a few dozen miles in radius? Furthermore, it has to be an absolutely hidden location and must have a secret underground basement. Qin Mengli thought for a moment and replied, There is, and it is 100 miles away from the city. There is a lake there, and under the lake, there is a hidden room. I constructed it back then when I got carried away by a whim. It has never been used before, and it is under my private properties, and no one else knows about it. That will be good. Yang Dingtian then said, For the next few days, I will be cultivating in that hidden room in seclusion. I will only be coming out on the day of the martial contest with Ye Feng. En, dont worry! Qin Mengli responded, I understand. If you need any materials, elixirs, or manuals, you just need to inform me. As long as Qin City has it, no matter the rarity and the quantity, I will deliver it to you. Your woman might not be formidable in martial strength and doesnt have powerful authority, but in terms of wealth, there are just a few individuals that can rival me. All of my wealth will belong to you. Yang Dingtian spoke softly, I do need some items. I will give you a list later, and you must get the most reliable person to arrange for those items. Qin Mengli spoke in a coquettish voice, I will arrange it personally. Subsequently, she giggled and said, It is rather nice to have a super-wealthy woman, right? Yang Dingtian laughed and said, That is true. It is rather nice to be living off a woman. Hearing this reply, Qin Mengli felt a little embarrassed as she knew that her man, Shen Lang, was a person that wasnt interested in authority and wealth. Afterwards, she acted as though she was trying to explain, Now that I think about it, my underground palace at West Prefecture City is truly boring. I used to like it in the past and would gather all the valuable treasures inside that place. Right now, I do not have any interest in it. In fact, I am not interested in the valuable treasures of the world anymore. No matter how valuable the item is, it looks just like a piece of rock to me. I believe that you will find something meaningful to do. Yang Dingtian replied. Qin Mengli giggled and spoke softly, Being together with you is the most meaningful thing! **************************************************** Next day, Qin Mengli left early in the morning. Yang Dingtian had also used the most secretive method to travel a hundred miles away from the city and into that secluded, uninhabited, secret room. This lake was a few hundred hectares in size, and the entire place was Qin Menglis private property. There were no signs of human habitation in the nearby few dozen miles, making it the best place to go into seclusion for Yang Dingtian. After submerging to the bottom of the lake, Yang Dingtian arrived at the secret underground room and started his cultivation in seclusion. The secret room might be underwater, but the entrance was filled with energy crystals that would repel water. Hence, even when opening the secret rooms thick stone door, not an ounce of lake water entered. There were still four days before the birthday banquets martial contest. If Yang Dingtian wanted to defeat Ye Feng, Yang Dingtian would have to breakthrough the Martial Mystic class. But, this difficulty was truly overwhelming. According to normal cultivation and learning the third rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art, Yang Dingtian would breakthrough by two levels at best. But if Yang Dingtian conducted the fourth layer of meridian cleansing, he might breakthrough more than just two levels. If Yang Dingtian conducted the fifth layer of cleansing, his breakthrough would exceed even more, but he would never exceed three levels. In this case, Yang Dingtian would only be able to breakthrough to the 8-star Great Mystic Martial Master. He would still be two levels away from becoming a Martial Mystic. For these two levels, if he cultivated normally, it would take at least half a year. An 8-star Great Mystic Martial Master was still one class and eleven levels inferior to Ye Feng. It was possible to defeat Ye Feng, but Yang Dingtian wanted it to be a complete victory and not a miserable victory! Hence, he had to breakthrough to the Martial Mystic class. In just three to four days, apart from the breakthrough provided by the Pig Slaying Sword Art, Yang Dingtian would have to find another way to breakthrough an additional of two levels. The result of this martial contest was very important, and it was the most important part of Yang Dingtians plan. In fact, the possibility of obtaining the other half of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map was completely dependent on this martial contests victory. Chapter 230: Cleansing of Meridians! Chapter 230: Cleansing of Meridians!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales In regards to the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map, Yang Dingtian had been learning the Foxman Races words and language daily from the Foxman Races girl, Jier. As compared to the main language used in this world, the Foxman Races words were rather simplified. As long as one could understand a thousand words, there was basically no problem in conversations, and one would be able to understand the records related to the Foxman Race. As for Yang Dingtians half of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map, he had no problem with the words on it. As such, Yang Dingtian was able to understand what was written on this half of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map. But the words on it had some unique statements, and they couldnt be comprehended just based purely on the words. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian could feel that these words didnt point out to a place, as it was a poetry that belonged to the Foxman Race. There was only half of every statement. Yang Dingtian might be able to understand the words, but he didnt know much about poetry. With only half of each statement, it was even harder for him to understand the meaning. S?a??h th? N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. To understand the poetry, Yang Dingtian would need the full set of the map. He would then be able to read each of the full statements and would be able to analyze them. Hence, be it Yang Dingtians half of the map or Qin Huaiyus half of the map, no information could be obtained from either piece of the map alone. They had to be merged to find out any information. Yang Dingtian had also tried to use the half of the poem to test Jier and inquire about some of the Foxman Races folk poems that had been passed down for generations, but he was still unable to find an answer. Hence, the poem on this map couldnt be a traditional Foxman Races poem; it should have been created by the person who drew this map. *** In a large barrel, Yang Dingtian had finished preparing all the ingredients and medicinal materials required for the fourth layer of meridians cleansing. Half the barrels medicinal water was fiery red, while the other half was dark blue. This was truly the fire-ice dual combination as half of it was biting cold, and the other half was flaming hot. Inside the barrel was filled with terrifying energy! If there were only one of the elements, a person would be incinerated into ashes or frozen to death once they jumped inside. When the energy of ice and fire were combined, it would achieve a balance; hence, it could forge the body and cleanse the meridians. After taking out a small bottle of holy water from the storage ring, Yang Dingtian poured the holy water into the fluid for the meridian cleansing. This small bottle of holy water dissolved into the medicinal fluid of fire and ice and vanished without a trace in an instant. Yang Dingtian let out a breath of relief. It was good that it could be dissolved and not excluded. After doing everyone, Yang Dingtian took off his clothes and jumped into the medicinal fluid. Ahhh... Immediately, an extremely intense energy of fire spread throughout his body. He felt as though he was immolated in blazing flames, and the pain had instantly reached the limits. He wasnt even allowed to make a sound. Soon after the immolating sensation, the bone-chilling energy of ice drilled into his body. In an instant, Yang Dingtians bones, muscles, blood, and veins were all solidified. This horrific energy of ice was superior to the world of ice and snow. It was fortunate that Yang Dingtian had the Nine Yang Mystic Meridians. This type of bone-chilling sensation was much more bearable than the immolating sensation. If it was someone else without an expert overseeing, they might have instantly gone into shock due to the cold. Moreover, no matter how cold it was, it wasnt as cold as the deepest part of the freezing water. In this punishment of ice and fire, Yang Dingtian started to recite the mnemonic chant and forced out all the mystic qi from his qi vessel. Every corner of his qi vessel was getting cleansed, along with every inch of his mystic meridians. Ahhh... Yang Dingtian didnt yell out, but in his heart, he was screaming miserably. This feeling was just too painful. It was at least ten times more painful than getting immolated or frozen. The cleansing of the mystic meridians and the qi vessel was just like a knife desperately scraping on the inside. It had forcefully scraped off a layer of sediments inside the mystic meridians. This suffering sensation was even worse than a layer of skin getting scraped off. It wasnt inferior to the execution by flaying. Ahhh... The progress wasnt even at ten percent, and Yang Dingtian was already tormented by so much pain that his eyes were turning dark, and he was about to faint. This could already be considered the extremity of pain for the human body! But, he must not faint. If he were to faint, he would be crippled for his entire life. His veins and arteries would be ruined, and his mystic qi would burst out. In fact, Yang Dingtian couldnt even get his master to reduce the pain by obstructing the nerves in the brain as getting this pain was an important part of cleansing. Only with such pain, would Yang Dingtian be able to control the power of the mystic qi and the direction of the cleansing. If the control were slightly off, Yang Dingtian wouldnt be able to cleanse the sediments in the mystic meridians, and they might be directly severed. Hence, without anyone overseeing, conducting the meridian cleansing alone was entirely the same as seeking death! Just like this, Yang Dingtian forcefully endured extreme pain and carried on with the fourth layer of cleansing, inch by inch. But even if Yang Dingtian possessed extremely tough willpower and tenacity, when the progress of the meridian cleansing was at thirty percent, he started to lose focus. His body was starting to feel numb, and the extreme pain had made his nervous system a little delayed. At this moment, Yang Dingtian was at his most dangerous juncture. If his nervous system was delayed, he wouldnt be able to control the power of the mystic qi and might sever his own mystic meridians at any moment. Once the mystic meridians were severed or pierced, all the mystic qi in the qi vessel would burst out. If that happened, there would be only one conclusion, death by the explosion! If someone were overseeing and providing protection, with their powerful mystic qi, they could protect the cleansers mystic meridians, and even if the cleanser had a wrong mystic qi control, the cleanser still wouldnt face the danger of rupturing their mystic meridians. Yang Dingtian gritted his teeth to stay conscious and maintain his sensitivity desperately. But, this was getting increasingly difficult! Suddenly, the mystic qi in Yang Dingtian jolted. A powerful mystic qi vigorously ripped a thin mystic meridian and was about to sever it. Immediately after, the mystic qi in his body was about to burst out. If that were to happen, Yang Dingtian would instantly die from the explosion. At this most dangerous moment, gentle energy surged out from the medicinal fluid and immediately homed in on the damaged area of the mystic meridians. After that, the holy and mild energy eliminated the mystic qi that was about to burst out violently. The mystic meridian that was damaged had also been swiftly repaired. The holy water was indeed useful, and it was much more powerful than Yang Dingtian had imagined. The rest of the meridian cleansing process was still extremely painful! But without the fear and danger of exploding to death, Yang Dingtian was much bolder and didnt control the power of his mystic qi as carefully, as he seemingly barged through. The progress of the cleansing was at forty percent. Fifty percent. ... Eighty percent. Ninety percent. During the progress, Yang Dingtian had encountered at least five instances when his body was at risk of exploding. But with the holy water, he got through the daunting experience without mishap. The final ten percent of the cleansing was especially slow. The mystic qi was seemingly moving by millimeters. Hence, the final ten percent of the cleansing used up more time than the first ninety percent. Time elapsed by the minute and second! Ninety-one percent! Ninety-two percent! Ninety-three percent! ... Ninety-nine percent! Hundred percent! Yang Dingtians body flashed with radiance. All the mystic qi vanished without a trace and rapidly gathered back into the qi vessel. As all the pain had disappeared, Yang Dingtians entire body felt extremely warm and comfortable. It felt like the spring breeze, as though he was in the immortal realm. His entire body felt light as a feather as though he was about to fly. The fourth layer of meridian cleansing had ended with a perfect conclusion. The barrels medicinal fluid had turned into another color. It was no longer the fiery red and dark blue as it was now much more turbid. Yang Dingtian stood up in the barrel and noticed the surface of his body had formed a layer of scab. The black parts were the bodys impurities, and the red parts were the blood that oozed out. These were the sediments in the mystic meridians and qi vessel. They were all forced out and had formed a layer on the body which was around one millimeter in thickness. The current Yang Dingtian looked especially dirty and had an intolerable smell. Shaking his body lightly, the layer of impurities instantly shattered and fell into the wooden barrel, revealing Yang Dingtians clean body. As compared to before, Yang Dingtians body was clean like a jade, like an egg that had just been deshelled. Of course, the scars were still there, but the skin was like newly born. But the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes were truly incredible. Even the blood and impurities were able to seep out and form outside the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes. Since the fourth layer of cleansing had ended, Yang Dingtian left the medicinal barrel and entered another wooden barrel. The barrel was filled with limpid medicinal fluid meant for recuperation. Yang Dingtian had cleaned his body inside the barrel. After doing all these things, Yang Dingtian poured a small bottle of fiery red fluid into the turbid medicinal barrel. After the fluid entered the turbid medicinal fluid, there was an abrupt ignition that started a blazing flame. In less than half a minute, all the turbid medicinal fluid and the jade barrel had been turned into ashes. Even though it would have been fine to leave the barrel there, Yang Dingtian still didnt want to leave any evidence behind. ... Yang Dingtian left the secret room and swam to the surface of the lake. It was already daytime, and the sun was in midair. The fourth layer of cleansing had used up 30 hours! Of course, this was already extremely fast. With the effects of the holy water, making it almost impossible to die from body explosion, Yang Dingtians mystic qi was simply barging through. Had it been anyone else, their speed would be a few times slower. Yang Dingtian swam to the shore and walked over ten miles to the north where a house was situated. Yang Dingtian walked into the house and saw Qin Mengli waiting with four deaf and blind strong men. There was a giant box on the floor, and those were the things that Yang Dingtian had requested. When Yang Dingtian entered, Qin Mengli pounced over and spoke in a delicate voice, Shen Lang, how is your cultivation? Chapter 231: Infatuation! Method for Great Breakthrough! Chapter 231: Infatuation! Method for Great Breakthrough!Yang Dingtian hugged Qin Menglis voluptuous body and said, It is going very smoothly. How long have you been waiting here? S?a??h th? ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. I arrived before the sky was bright. Qin Mengli spoke in an intimate voice, You werent at home yesterday night, so I couldnt sleep for the entire night. Yang Dingtian hugged onto her waist even tighter. Qin Mengli said, Husband, these are the things you want. I have brought them all, and they are inside this huge box. Eh. Yang Dingtian responded. Remember, if you cannot do it, do not overexert yourself and it is fine even if you lose the contest. In my heart, you are already the greatest man. Qin Mengli spoke with a soft voice. Yang Dingtians heart shivered a little as he said, I know. I know your cultivation method must be very special. If you encounter any danger, you must stop. You need to know that you are no longer alone and have a woman who is always concerned for you. Qin Mengli carried on. Yang Dingtian kissed her beautiful eyes and spoke in a gentle voice, I know. You have been very busy recently. You should return first, we will meet again in three days. Yes, darling. I will leave first. Qin Mengli reluctantly left Yang Dingtians embrace and walked out of the house. Humans arent plants; how can they have no emotions? Seeing how infatuated Qin Mengli was, Yang Dingtian was truly feeling increasingly guilty, increasingly. *** Taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian picked up the massive box with a single hand. It was extremely heavy and was at least a few thousand kilograms. But in Yang Dingtians hand, it didnt feel like anything. Lifting this box, Yang Dingtian sprinted quickly and leapt into the lake. He swam to the bottom of the lake and entered the secret room that repelled water. After Yang Dingtian opened the box, it was filled with items. Yang Dingtian took out pieces of limpid and translucent crystals and laid them on the ground. The red crystals were the fire magnetism crystals, and the blue crystals were the ice magnetism crystals. Each crystal was about the size of a palm, and in terms of price, each crystal was worth a few million gold coins. These were the most expensive materials in this world. These crystals were all laid out by Yang Dingtian into over three square meters and formed a Yin Yang Taichi Formation. The total number of crystals were up to 999! The total number of gold coins required for this formation was already immeasurable. In fact, these things couldnt be valued with gold coins anymore. Every piece of these crystals was an invaluable treasure. Only wealthy martial artists would wear them constantly, allowing the absorption of mystic qi to be much more efficient. The functions of the fire magnetism crystals and the ice magnetism crystals were to enhance the absorbing of mystic qi. Earths magnets were to attract metals, but the magnetism crystals were for attracting mystic qi. When Great Mystic Martial Masters were conducting the mystic qi breathing cycle, they were able to absorb mystic qi in around a dozen meters of their radius. With these types of magnetism crystals, they would be able to absorb mystic qi around 20 meters in radius. Furthermore, all mystic qi that passed through the magnetism crystal would go through a purification process before entering the body. It might not be completely purified, but it would be much better than normal mystic qi. Each magnetism crystal could be used for around three days before losing their effectiveness. Hence, only the most wealthy and extravagant direct descendants would be able to use this kind of magnetism crystals constantly. Furthermore, only one crystal could be used at once. It was basically the same as spending a million gold coins for cultivation daily. But Yang Dingtian was going to use 999 pieces at one go! To be honest, it was because Qin Mengli was the wealthiest person in the world. Otherwise, even if Yang Dingtian could become the Cloud Heaven City Lord, he wouldnt be able to use such luxurious methods. Of course, only the Northwest Qin City was able to handle such a huge trade. The reason was that more than half of these crystals produced were in the Northwest Qin Citys control. The Northwest Qin Citys vassal force, Autumn Water Island, was a gigantic ore vein. It had a portion of the worlds supply of crystals and precious ores. As such, it gave the Northwest Qin City such power in the world and unmatched wealth. But even if it were the case, to use 999 magnetism crystals at one go was something that not even Qin Huaiyu would be willing to do. There was no choice, and there wasnt a lot of time. Yang Dingtian had to use the fastest method to break through to the Martial Mystic class. Thus, Yang Dingtian had to use such an extravagant method. But using 999 fire and ice magnetism crystals to form the Yin Yang Taichi Formation, Yang Dingtians mystic qi absorption range would be up to 2,000 times bigger, allowing him to absorb all the mystic qi within the range of 5,000 meters. Of course, it was still far too inferior as compared to the Five Elements Yin Yang Formation during the Yin Yang Festival. The Five Elements Yin Yang Formation at the Terror Manor was able to absorb all the mystic qi in the range of a few hundred miles, and the mystic qi was completely purified. After setting up the Yin Yang Taichi Formation, Yang Dingtian took out five demon cores from the box! Fire, Ice, Wind, Gold, Thunder! The first four attributes were all 9th-grade demonic beasts demon cores. The final thunder attribute demon core might only be 8th-grade, but its value was ten times more than the first four demon cores combined. The thunder attribute demonic beast was extremely rare, and to tell the truth, only the wealthiest person like Qin Mengli could possess it. A single 9th-grade demon cores price was estimated at a few tens of millions. This 8th-grade thunder attribute demon cores price was probably astronomical. However, Qin Mengli didnt have any reserves and simply handed it to Yang Dingtian! Such a deep affection was something that was truly hard to let down. *** Yang Dingtian placed the five demon cores in the various assigned positions in the Yin Yang Taichi Formation. This scene looked rather familiar. Thats right. Yang Dingtian was arranging an imitation of the Five Elements Yin Yang Formation! Previously when Yang Dingtian set up the Five Elements Yin Yang Formation, it was making use of the Yin Yang Festival that happened once every three centuries. By making use of the might of heaven and earth, Yang Dingtian broke through by 19 levels. Of course, that kind of opportunity was too precious, and it was impossible for a second time. After all, it was an occurrence that would only happen once every three centuries. It could even be considered as a gift bestowed upon Yang Dingtian. Hence, this time, Yang Dingtian was using an astronomical amount of money to set up this imitation version of the Five Elements Yin Yang Formation. The effectiveness was less than a hundredth of the natural Five Elements Yin Yang Formation. But it was good that this imitation of Five Elements Yin Yang Formation could absorb mystic qi for a longer period. Chapter 232: Great Breakthrough in Cultivation! Chapter 232: Great Breakthrough in Cultivation!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Of course, it was also fortunate that the power of the formation wasnt extremely powerful. Yang Dingtian did not personally collect these five elements demonic cores. When using these demon cores to gather mystic qi, there would be an intense rejection. If this imitation of Five Elements Yin Yang Formation were extremely powerful, Yang Dingtian would have been immediately blasted to death. S?a?ch* Th? N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The five demon cores floated in the air and started to revolve at rapid speed. Finally, Yang Dingtian brought in a jade barrel and placed it at the center of the formation. Inside the barrel was a solution with various extremely rare medicinal ingredients. In the end, Yang Dingtian poured in an entire bottle of holy water. The holy water was the most crucial item for this breakthrough. Without this holy water that could bring the dead back to life, Yang Dingtian wouldnt even be able to withstand this imitation of Five Elements Yin Yang Formation. The mystic qi gathered within the radius of ten miles by the five demon cores would be very concentrated and would pour into Yang Dingtians body violently. Since Yang Dingtian did not personally gather these five demon cores, the mystic qi would be in berserk and would be filled with rejection forces. With Yang Dingtians current cultivation, he would be forcefully ripped into pieces. Yang Dingtian was only willing to take this risk with the secret realms holy water. Yang Dingtians naked body had entered the barrel. He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes while circulating the mystic qi circulation chant of the Pig Slaying Sword Art. Fire shall burn the heart; ice shall seal the heart; wind shall move the heart; thunder shall split the heart; gold shall solidify the heart... If one is fearful of the damage from the five elements, the mystic sea will not be sustained. One might suspect it is the vajra form, but it is the body of flesh and blood... Instantly, the mystic qi within the radius of ten miles started to revolve and gather. The 999 ice and fire magnetism crystals that were formed into a Taichi diagram acted like an amplifier, allowing Yang Dingtians mystic qi absorption to be amplified by 2,000 times, absorbing all the mystic qi within the dozen miles radius. All of the mystic qi permeated into these 999 magnetism crystals. After getting purified, they were rapidly absorbed by the five elemental demon cores. The mystic qi within the ten miles radius was first gathered to three square meters before shrinking to a diameter of one foot and finally into Yang Dingtians top of the head. From the radius of ten miles into the diameter of one foot, this concentration might not be a hundredth of the real Five Elements Yin Yang Formation, but it was already incredibly astounding. It was 2,000 times more concentrated as compared to a normal person executing the mystic qi circulation. The powerful and concentrated mystic qi poured into Yang Dingtians body with extreme ferocity. It was injected into the mystic meridians before surging into his qi vessel. This mystic qi was different from the mystic qi gathered by the Five Elements Yin Yang Formation. This mystic qi was filled with impurities and did shocking damage to the mystic meridians. They might have been purified by the 999 pieces of magnetism crystals, but even if one strand of mystic qi had a hundredth of impurities, the accumulated impurities would be stunning. When coupled with the rejection from the five elemental demon cores, the powerful mystic qi entered Yang Dingtians mystic meridians and barged through forcefully, nearly ripping through Yang Dingtians mystic meridians and tearing Yang Dingtians body apart. Yang Dingtian blacked out and nearly fainted. The ripping force was fierce, and Yang Dingtian didnt have any strength to resist it. He watched as his veins and arteries were about to be severed, while his body was getting crushed. Right at this moment, divine energy surged out from the holy water and instantly suppressed the dominant and violent mystic qi, eliminating the intent harm to the mystic meridians. Just like this, the extremely concentrated mystic qi poured into the body endlessly. It filled up the mystic meridians in an instant and was rapidly condensed by the mystic meridians before entering the qi vessel. Everything was in an orderly fashion as the mystic qi in the ten miles radius was all absorbed into Yang Dingtians qi vessel. If Yang Dingtian used the regular mystic qi absorption, he would need three months to breakthrough through one level. It was equivalent to 100 days and 500 hours of mystic qi absorption. But with this imitation of Five Elements Yin Yang Formation that cost a few billions of gold coins, the regular cultivation speed was enhanced by 2,000 times. In theory, Yang Dingtian would only need 15 minutes to breakthrough one level. But this was the imitation of Five Elements Yin Yang Formation after all, and there would be wastage. The greatest wastage was at the five elemental demon cores that produced a rejection. The mystic qi that ended up inside Yang Dingtians body was less than ten percent. Hence, the time needed for Yang Dingtian to increase one level was around three hours. *** Time elapsed minute after minute. When the extremely condensed mystic qi poured into Yang Dingtians mystic meridians, it was refined and condensed before flowing into the qi vessel. One hour, two hours, three hours! After three and a half hours, Yang Dingtian qi vessel was completely filled, and it started to expand drastically. The most dangerous moment had arrived! Right now, the mystic qi was filled with impurities, and this type of forceful breakthrough might result in the qi vessel exploding. All of a sudden, Yang Dingtian felt an insane pain in his abdomen where his qi vessel was located. There was a flash of white light, and the qi vessel was about to explode, it would result in the body blowing up into smithereens. At this same moment, the holy water surged out with divine energy again. It poured into Yang Dingtians qi vessel to suppress the threatening mystic qi that was about to explode, eliminating the qi vessels damage that had yet to occur. Boom... There was a flash of white light in the qi vessel. Subsequently, everything went into a temporary void. A few seconds later, everything was restored! Yang Dingtian finally broke through from 5-star Great Mystic Martial Master to 6-star Great Mystic Martial Master. At this moment, Yang Dingtians body didnt have a trace of mystic qi; all of it had been used to expand the qi vessel. After the breakthrough, Yang Dingtian wasnt in a hurry to conduct the next round of mystic qi absorption. He retrieved two more bottles of holy water from his spatial ring and poured it into the medicinal bath. After the holy water repaired the damages to the qi vessel earlier, he already felt that the amount of divine energy that was leftover would be barely enough. Hence, after Yang Dingtian poured in two bottles of holy water, he hesitated and poured another bottle. *** Immediately after, Yang Dingtian conducted the next round of mystic qi absorption. One hour, two hours, three hours, five hours, ten hours... For the previous level, Yang Dingtian spent over three hours to breakthrough. Twelve hours had passed. Yang Dingtian had yet to break through to the next level. Firstly, as the mystic qi were being absorbed, the ice and fire magnetism crystals absorption and purifying ability would be reduced. Secondly, it was due to the impurities in the mystic qi. In just a few hours, Yang Dingtians mystic meridians were filled with sediments. Therefore, the amount of refined mystic qi entering the qi vessel was getting lesser. After 13 hours, the sediments in Yang Dingtians mystic meridians were already much more severe than ever before. The amount of mystic qi that could enter the qi vessel was already less than a tenth. But there was no other solution now. Even if his mystic meridians were filled with sediments, he still had to desperately breakthrough to the 7-star Great Mystic Martial Master. Ninety-five percent! Ninety-six percent! Ninety-seven percent! The mystic qi passed through the sediments in the mystic qi and flowed into the qi vessel with extreme difficulty, filling up the qi vessel, bit by bit. Ninety-nine percent! Hundred percent! The final one-percent had taken up two and a half hours. Finally, Yang Dingtian had filled the qi vessel with refined mystic qi again. Immediately after, the qi vessel started to expand and expand. But this time, the pain from the expansion was worse. It was truly the same as getting sliced by blades. Furthermore, it was expanding with barely enough power. Yang Dingtians body didnt only have sediments in his mystic meridians, but also his qi vessel. To breakthrough at this moment was truly the same as risking his life. Of course, without the holy water, death would be certain. Ultimately, the qi vessel had barely expanded to the extreme, and Yang Dingtians pain was also at the extreme. Boom... Suddenly, the qi vessel flashed with a red light. Thats right. It wasnt white light this time, it was a red light. Afterward, Yang Dingtian blacked out and violently vomited fresh blood before fainting. All of the mysterious energy from the holy water surged towards Yang Dingtians qi vessel and mystic meridians in a frenzy. *** It was unknown how much time had passed before Yang Dingtian opened his eyes and gradually regained consciousness. After looking at the hourglass, Yang Dingtian noticed that he had been unconscious for four to five hours. Yang Dingtian quickly checked his qi vessel, and it was fortunate that he had broken through! Yang Dingtian had painstakingly broken through to the 7-star Great Mystic Martial Master. Even with the holy water, it was still very dangerous earlier. His qi vessel had already started to rupture as it had flashed with a red light instead of white light. In the end, the holy water managed to rescue Yang Dingtians qi vessel and life. But had it been just a little bit more, Yang Dingtian would have died from the explosion. Yang Dingtian noticed that the medicinal bath was blood red, and it was all the fresh blood that was exuded by Yang Dingtian. This imitation of Five Elements Yin Yang Formation might have very fast cultivation speed, but it must not be used ever again. Just two levels of breakthroughs had nearly cost Yang Dingtian his life, and this was with the holy water. If Yang Dingtian were to breakthrough for the third time, even with a few times more holy water, Yang Dingtians life wouldnt be able to be rescued anymore. This holy water might be able to bring the dead back to life, but in events of qi vessel explosion, the entire body would be blown into smithereens. No matter how incredible the holy water was, it wouldnt be able to do anything. Furthermore, this kind of forceful mystic qi absorption formed a terrifying amount of sediments in the mystic qi. Yang Dingtians current mystic meridians were like a river that had run dry and was filled with sludge as the water was completely unable to flow through. With his current mystic meridians, even if he cultivated for ten years or twenty years, there would be no progress in cultivation. Hence, such shortcuts for breakthrough must not happen again. Even if Qin Mengli were the wealthiest person in the world, she probably wouldnt be able to provide the items required for this imitation of Five Elements Yin Yang Formation again. Yang Dingtian exited this jade barrel and entered another medicinal bath to recuperate his body. Two hours later, Yang Dingtian had to conduct the fifth stage of meridian cleansing. Chapter 233: The Third Rank of Pig Slaying Sword Art! Chapter 233: The Third Rank of Pig Slaying Sword Art!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Two hours later, Yang Dingtian had to conduct the fifth stage of meridian cleansing. Generally speaking, only Martial Ancestor class experts would go through the fifth stage of meridian cleansing. Furthermore, the level of danger was several times more than the fourth stage of meridian cleansing. Yang Dingtian wasnt prepared to take the risk previously. But there wasnt a choice. With the number of sediments in his mystic meridians, he had no choice but to take the risk. It was fortunate that the fifth stage of meridian cleansing might be extremely painful. However, with the holy water, the level of danger shouldnt be as risky as forcefully breaking through with the imitation of Five Elements Yin Yang Formation. *** S?a??h th? N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. After Yang Dingtians body recovered, he started preparing the ingredients for the fifth stage of cleansing in another jade barrel. The ingredients were similar to the fourth stage of cleansing, but the quantity and quality were of the higher level. Hence, the medicinal bath Yang Dingtian created had a color that was much more beautiful, and the energy was much more stunning. The red portions were fiery redder, and the blue portions were icy bluer. During the fourth stage of meridian cleansing, Yang Dingtian poured in one bottle of holy water. For the fifth stage of cleansing, Yang Dingtian poured in three bottles of holy water, and he couldnt help but feel a pinch in his heart. This was the extremely valuable holy water, and Yang Dingtian had only smuggled one barrel out. After all the usage, he had already used up close to a third. I need to experience another hell-like pain again! Yang Dingtian cursed in his heart, and the terrifying pain was something that made him tremble with fear. He gritted his teeth and jumped into the medicinal bath for the fifth stage of meridian cleansing. Ahhh... Yang Dingtian didnt bite down his teeth in pain but yelled out instead. The ice and fire sensation was a few times more intensive than the fourth stage of cleansing. The immolating sensation wasnt just the immolation of the flesh, right now, even the bones were getting immolated. It was a pain that came from the inside, and it couldnt be described with words. Soon enough, the bone-chilling cold assaulted Yang Dingtian. It was fortunate that this icy cold was slightly inferior to the deepest parts of the frozen water. With the Nine Yang Mystic Meridians, Yang Dingtian was still able to endure it. Just the entry in this medicinal bath was already so painful. The scraping of the sediments in the mystic meridians and the qi vessel that was going to happen later was probably going to be more painful by several folds. The pain might be something that would never be forgotten for Yang Dingtians entire life. After gritting his teeth vigorously, Yang Dingtian recited the mnemonic chant for the meridian cleansing. A powerful surge of mystic qi instantly cut across the qi vessel, Yang Dingtians vision darkened, and he immediately vomited a mouthful of fresh blood. It was indeed an intolerable pain. But what of it? When the pain reached the extremity, it was rather numbing. Yang Dingtian clenched his teeth hard and controlled the mystic qi to barge straight through, allowing it to clear up the sediments in the mystic meridians and qi vessel with insane speed. Since he had the holy water, he wasnt going to die no matter what. Every time the mystic qi was about to rip the mystic meridians, the holy waters mysterious energy would surge out to repair all wounds. But the scene from above looked rather horrific as fresh blood was bleeding out from Yang Dingtians body profusely. It had almost instantly dyed the large barrel red. Ten percent, twenty percent, thirty percent... ... Ninety-eight percent! Ninety-nine percent! Hundred percent! As the mystic qi was barging through and after getting numbed by the pain, Yang Dingtian completed the fifth stage of meridian cleansing. He had completed this near-impossible task without any experts protection by himself. Of course, this was entirely made possible because of the holy water. Otherwise, even if Yang Dingtian had ten lives, he would have lost all of them by now. *** After the cleansing of the meridians, Yang Dingtian felt a constant breeze in his qi vessel and mystic meridians. He felt as though he was really going to fly. The sediments in the mystic meridians that were formed earlier had all vanished completely. If Yang Dingtian were to continue regular cultivation, he wouldnt need to cleanse his meridians until the Martial Supreme class and wouldnt have to go through such terrifying pain. Before the Yin Yang Taichi Formation had lost its effects completely, Yang Dingtian used half an hour to fill up his qi vessel and mystic meridians with combat mystic qi. Afterward, he stored the five demon cores into his spatial ring. He then incinerated all the 999 ice and fire magnetism crystals, the jade barrels, and all the medicinal water. Right now, there was still 30 hours before Qin Wanchous birthday banquet! There was also 30 hours before the martial contest with that foolish Ye Feng, and also slightly more than 30 hours for him to obtain the other half of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map. Next, Yang Dingtian had to carry out his final segment of cultivation. He had to cultivate the third rank of Pig Slaying Sword Art. *** After cleaning the secret room, Yang Dingtian took out the manual for the third rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art and placed it in his hand. The first rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art allowed Yang Dingtians mystic qi to go through a shocking breakthrough. The second rank helped Yang Dingtian to breakthrough three levels. What about the third rank? The first rank was called Pig Slaying Sword Art, and it was the sword art with the worlds most mystical sword moves. The second rank was called Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Sword and could resist against any of the five attributes while allowing rapid cultivation in any of the elemental environment. If the first rank cultivated the external sword moves, the second rank cultivated the internal mystic qi. What would the third rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art cultivate? Yang Dingtians heart was filled with expectations! After taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian opened up the manual for the third rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art and gradually injected his mystic qi. Instantly, the manual for the third rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art started to burn, and moments later, it was turned into ashes completely. Boom... Yang Dingtians eyes flashed with light, and he was inside an utterly unfamiliar illusion realm. *** The third rank of Pig Slaying Sword Art, Yin Yang Qi Transformation Art! First move, Fire Transformation Art! Second move, Wind Transformation Art! Third move, Ice Transformation Art! Fourth move, Gold Transformation Art! Fifth move, Thunder Transformation Art! In the third ranks cultivation illusion realm, Yang Dingtian couldnt be seen, and no swords could be seen either. The entire realm was just nothingness. Suddenly, the void abruptly burst open with two bundles of energy, yin and yang. Yang was white, and yin was black! The extreme yang transformed into a blazing fire, and the extreme yin transformed into chilling ice. When the ice and fire clashed, they ruptured and transformed into the wind. When fire and fire blended, it condensed into the golden attribute. Yin and yang clashed and produced thunder! This was just the first stage! Immediately after, the two energies in the void started to transform, blend, and clash frenziedly, transforming into countless possibilities. Fire transformed into the wind, fire transformed into the ice, fire transformed into thunder. Ice transformed into the wind, into the fire, into the thunder. Gold transformed into fire, into thunder, into ice! Everything was transforming at a rapid speed, and it was endless. There were countless transformations, the yin and yang were going in reverse until the yin contained the yang and the yang contained the yin. All the energies had transformed into a bundle of primal chaos and disorder. Finally, the boundless energy transformed into the purest state, the primitive energy that didnt have any attributes! Countless images rushed into Yang Dingtians mind. Countless information and attributes were reforming and baptizing Yang Dingtians mystic meridians. This Pig Slaying Sword Art was indeed worthy of being the No.1 sword art of the world. Chapter 234: Martial Mystic Class! Devil Flame Saber Art! Chapter 234: Martial Mystic Class! Devil Flame Saber Art!This Pig Slaying Sword Art was indeed the No.1 sword art in the world. The first style was unrivaled among all sword techniques. The second style was unrivaled among all attribute elements. The third style had started to permeate into the deepest parts of the mystic qi energy as it started the energy transformation. It destroyed the so-called Yin Yang Five Elements before reforming them thoroughly. It investigated the interior of a human body, the mystic meridians as well as the in-depth secret of the interior energy. Of course, these seemed too theoretical and profound. Perhaps, it might be useless and was pretty much ineffective for martial artists cultivation. However, in reality! This Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique was even more profound and formidable than the first two styles of Pig Slaying Sword Art, so much that it was incomparable to them. In short, it was practically two kinds of instant kill ability. For the first kind, any martial artist would possess a type of attribute. Yang property Mystic Meridian cultivators could only devour and absorb the Yang properties mystic qi from heaven and earth. To be more precise, when a fire attribute martial artist devoured a gold attribute mystic qi, their strength would be greatly reduced even though the gold attribute belonged to the Yang property. Therefore, to a martial artist, they would only be able to use one-third of the mystic qi they had devoured into their body from the mystic qi absorption daily. Within this one-third amount, they would need to conduct refinement and purification as they would draw them into their qi vessel. However, once he learned the third style of Pig Slaying Sword Art, Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique, he would be able to refine all kinds of attributes of mystic qi within his body. Yang property mystic meridians cultivator would be able to devour Yin property energy and refine them into their qi vessel. Yin property mystic meridians cultivator would also be able to refine the Yang property mystic qi directly and utilize them. s?a??h th? ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Ignoring the mystic meridian grade, this also meant that when he reached the highest realm of the Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique. The cultivation speed would be three times faster than others, even if it were an ordinary cultivation routine. Meanwhile, Yang Dingtian possessed the Nine Yang Mystic Meridians. Thus, even his normal cultivation speed was already four to five times or perhaps even faster than the others. Therefore, the third style of Pig Slaying Sword Art, Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique, was heaven defyingly formidable. Furthermore, there was an even more domineering ability. When he was fighting against the enemy, this Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique could dissolve and refine the mystic qi energies that had infiltrated into his body. Not only could it negate the injuries and turn them into nothing, but it could also transform the mystic qi energy from the enemies attack for his own use! This efficacy was formidable to the point that it was heaven-defying. Therefore, this Pig Slaying Sword Art was the most profound and formidable secret martial technique in this world. Besides, it could no longer be counted as a secret martial technique. As a martial skill, the second style was already considered the pinnacle. The third style had already exceeded the limit of martial skill. It was already similar to those sacred writing grade capabilities. It had to be analyzed directly and could reform the deepest energy attribute. Without a doubt, the Pig Slaying Sword Art scroll was an unrivaled secret art in this world, an unprecedented secret art! *** After some time, Yang Dingtian had practically forgotten about his existence within this hollow environment. He had forgotten his martial skills, sword, everything. In the whole world, there was only the fluctuation, growth and transformation of energy. It was as if he were a part of the energy and mystic qi. He struggled to soar and sense the secret behind this boundless energy within this boundless illusionary universe. However, there was too much information here. It was to the extent that his brain could only remember a minor part of it. Furthermore, these images were still changing frantically. *** Hu... All of a sudden, the boundless energy within the illusion suddenly exploded out like an explosion of a nuclear warhead and was extremely bright. Subsequently, everything disappeared without any trace, and Yang Dingtian had also turned sober. Of course, this wasnt because the energy fluctuation within the illusion had ended. Rather, the mystic qi energy within the Pig Slaying Sword Art scroll had been exhausted. It had been dispersed within Yang Dingtians mystic meridians and qi vessel. Therefore, everything came to a sudden stop! At this moment, more than 20 hours had passed since Yang Dingtian had started to learn the third style of Pig Slaying Sword Art. *** The awakened Yang Dingtian was unable to suppress the shock and curiosity within him as he couldnt help but murmur, Master, did you see it just now? After a long time, Dongfang Niemie sighed, Yes! This was the most profound and complex secret art I have seen. This doesnt seem like a martial skill scroll at all. It had allowed me to feel that my martial art understanding was perhaps barely a drop in the ocean, even though Im a Grandmaster class expert! Subsequently, Dongfang Niemie continued, Compared to the first two styles of Pig Slaying Sword Art, the third style, Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique, could perhaps be counted as the true supreme secret art. Yang Dingtian inhaled deeply, Master, help me take a look. How much did my mystic qi breakthrough? Previously, I was unable to sense my breakthrough when I was cultivating. Dongfang Niemie replied, You had already forgotten about your own body when you were cultivating within the illusion. You had only sensed a portion of the energy. Therefore, you were not able to sense your own breakthrough. Subsequently, Dongfang Niemie started to look into Yang Dingtians qi vessel with his divine sense. After that, Dongfang Niemie went silent for several seconds. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but feel anxious, Master, whats wrong? Dont tell me that I have yet to breakthrough? You have broken through. Dongfang Niemie replied. How many levels did I breakthrough? Yang Dingtian inquired nervously. You have broken through four levels! Dongfang Niemie replied in a trill, Not only have you broken through to the Martial Mystic Class expert, but you have also broken through straight to 1-star Martial Mystic! What?! Yang Dingtian immediately replied in disbelief. The third style of Pig Slaying Sword Art had unexpectedly allowed him to breakthrough four levels. Originally, the best-case scenario he had anticipated was that he had barely broken through to the Martial Mystic class. 9-star Great Mystic Martial Master would be fine as well if he couldnt achieve it. But unexpectedly, he had actually broken through to the 1-star Martial Mystic class expert. It was even better than the results Yang Dingtian had anticipated. He inhaled deeply. At this moment, there were less than eight hours before Qin Wanchous birthday celebration. Since he couldnt utilize the Pig Slaying Sword Art and his youngling sword, it was still insufficient for him to prevail over Ye Feng even after he had broken through from 1-star Martial Mystic class expert. For the remaining time left, Yang Dingtian had to concentrate on learning the 8th-grade mystic skill, Devil Flame Saber Art! *** Yang Dingtian inhaled a deep breath of air and took out the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art from his spatial ring. Subsequently, he infused his mystic qi unhurriedly. This ordinary mystic skill scroll was indeed different from the Pig Slaying Sword Art. There wasnt any illusionary world within. After Yang Dingtians mystic qi was poured into the scroll, the secret scroll started to light up, and an extremely complicated mystic qi route started to appear on it. Layer after layer, mellow and odd. Yang Dingtians mystic qi needed to fully pass through these extremely complex mystic qi routes before it returned to his body. Extremely complex information was recorded within this secret manual as it entered Yang Dingtians mystic meridians and qi vessel. It would leave indelible imprints within Yang Dingtians body. These imprints had a special way to organize and attack using the mystic qi, as well as the attribute they had to use to attack. In short, it was extremely complicated to come up with the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. The organization method would transform the mystic qi into the extremely destructive and astonishing blazing sword to achieve a fatal blow effect. Therefore, without a doubt, learning this kind of mystic skill was more uninteresting compared to the Pig Slaying Sword Art scroll. He could only watch his mystic qi follow the complicated route as it advanced inch by inch. One hour! Two hours! Three hours! Five hours! Six hours! Finally, Yang Dingtians mystic qi had traveled across all of the mystic qi routes in the secret manual. Subsequently, it brought along extremely complex information as it bore everything into his own body. Immediately, the whole 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art scroll instantly combusted and turned into ashes. Meanwhile, a flash of white light flashed before Yang Dingtian as he sunk into a temporary void and dizziness because the mystic qi had started to leave behind the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art special imprints on Yang Dingtians mind, mystic meridians and qi vessel. Over a dozen minutes later, the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art mystic skills moves had been engraved into Yang Dingtians mind and mystic meridians clearly. There were only three moves in the entire Devil Flame Saber Art. The first move, Blazing Violent Saber! The second move, Nine Ring Lotus Flower Saber! The third move, Devilish Breaking Prison Saber! Without a doubt, these three moves surmounted each other. Of course, the amount of mystic qi needed for each move would increase with each move, and the difficulty would also increase with each move. Wait a moment! Yang Dingtian had unexpectedly found out that there was still an additional move at the corner of this particular memory. Furthermore, it was a hidden move. Birth of Heart Devil! The name of this move was completely different from the previous three moves. Originally, Yang Dingtian was supposed to practice the Devil Flame Saber Art for a few more times as he sought to find out which moves were more formidable. It was especially so for this hidden move, he wanted to understand what was going on. But as everyone knew, executing the mystic skills would consume a lot of mystic qi. At this moment, there were only two to three hours left before Qin Wanchous birthday celebration. Therefore, Yang Dingtian no longer had the time to test it out. The time he had was so little that he couldnt even test it out once. Because during the martial contest, Yang Dingtian would have to maintain an ample amount of mystic qi. As to how formidable this eighth-grade Devil Flame Saber Art was, he would only be able to witness it during the battle at the martial contest. Immediately, Yang Dingtian was about to leave this secret room and return to the land. All of a sudden, his master, Dongfang Niemie, spoke out, Child, dont be anxious. Theres still one to two hours left before the birthday celebration. I will teach you another saber art. You only need to learn the basics. This way, it will be less likely for you to reveal any flaws during the martial contest. Yes, Master. Yang Dingtian agreed. Subsequently, he took out an enormous and formidable Sky Devil Flame Saber from his spatial ring. Dongfang Niemie replied, This set of saber art is the Master Class expert, Saber Monarch Xi Yings unique saber technique, the Wind Wave Evil Saber! Subsequently, Dongfang Niemies divine sense started to demonstrate the Wind Wave Evil Saber in Yang Dingtians mind. There were a total of thirteen moves in this saber art! And Yang Dingtian followed his masters movement within his mind and learned every move and stance. *** Two hours later, Yang Dingtian had mastered all the thirteen moves of Wind Wave Evil Saber. Of course, the profoundness of this saber art could not be compared to the Pig Slaying Sword Art. Yet, Yang Dingtian was able to tell that this was certainly an extremely difficult saber art. It was neither righteous nor demonic, making it extremely domineering. After he mastered the saber art, Yang Dingtian used his quickest speed to shower. He placed the Sky Devil Flame Saber into a long box before carrying it and walked out of the secret room. He ascended from the water surface and went ashore before dashing towards the small hut that was ten miles away. Chapter 235: Birthday Feast!! Chapter 235: Birthday Feast!!After he had mastered the saber technique, Yang Dingtian used his quickest speed to shower. He placed the Sky Devil Flame Saber into a long box before carrying it and walked out of the secret room. He ascended from the water surface and went ashore before dashing towards the small hut that was ten miles away. Su Mei was waiting for him inside the small hut with an extremely anxious expression. Her beautiful eyes turned joyful when she saw Yang Dingtian. Subsequently, she quickly took out a set of embroidered gown and went forward to take off Yang Dingtians clothing. She helped Yang Dingtian change into this piece of a priceless embroidered-gown. After that, she pulled Yang Dingtian and went up to a sumptuous chariot as it sped towards the Northern Qin City. Quick. The birthday celebration is about to start. We wouldnt be able to enter once it starts. *** The inner city of Qin City was approximately 5,000 acres and was the core of Qin City. It was where the Qin Clans headquarter was situated. Similarly, it was also where all the higher authorities of the Northwest Continent were present. When Yang Dingtian entered the inner city for the first time, he discovered that the palace walls of this inner city were all grandiose and spectacularly built. It was extremely awe-inspiring and suppressing. Tall buildings and enormous palaces. Huge flights of stairs with the enormous plaza. There were also long and lengthy pathways. The whole inner city didnt look like a clan headquarters. Rather, it looked like the residence of an ancient Chinese emperor. Correct. This Qin Clan Lord was different from everyone. What he wanted to become wasnt a clan Patriarch head. He wanted to become an emperor. Yang Dingtian used his quickest speed and rushed towards the inner citys entrance gate. Currently, the bell had yet to be rung. Therefore, Qin Wanchous 50th birthday celebration had yet to commence officially. Currently, there werent a lot of people around the entrance gate because those who had come to participate in the dinner party had already gone in. However, the inner citys entrance gate was still heavily guarded. There were no less than a hundred martial artists guarding it. There were also two Martial Supreme class experts among them. Halt, get out of the chariot! Yang Dingtian heard an abrupt command the moment he arrived at the inner citys entrance gate. Yang Dingtian alighted from the chariot and replied clearly: West Prefecture City Madams guard commander, Shen Lang, has come to participate in Lords birthday celebration. The moment he spoke out, dozens of eyes looked towards Yang Dingtian immediately. Without a doubt, the name of Shen Lang had already become eminent after it was being gossiped around. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian was able to feel that their gazes held traces of despise and disdain. After all, Yang Dingtians current identity was Qin Menglis boy toy. A lot of people within the palaces knew that Yang Dingtian was a man of the house, but in everyones eyes, Yang Dingtian was merely a gigolo only. One of the martial artist guards went forward and glanced at Yang Dingtian coldly. He spoke casually: Follow me. Subsequently, this martial artist brought Yang Dingtian into the inner city. Unexpectedly, he didnt enter through the main gate. Rather, he entered from a short and small side gate at the side, which caused Yang Dingtian to be slightly dissatisfied. Currently, it was already nightfall. The whole inner city was brightly lit and was filled with noises. The organized patrolling martial artists swept every corner of the inner city. Maids and servants were donned in beautiful clothes as they carried all kinds of delicacies and traveled back and forth on every pathway. Yang Dingtian discovered that this martial artist commander had led him to walk on the bypath at the right side after they had entered the inner city and not the honored guest pathway that was in the center. Qin Wanchous birthday celebration was held at the biggest main hall that was thousands of square meters big within the center of the inner city. Almost all of the guests had traveled on the 20 meters wide pathway in the center to enter. Yet, this martial artist commander had unexpectedly led Yang Dingtian and traveled on the small pathway at the corner. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian discovered that the people traveling on this small pathway were all servants. This was a pathway specially customized for the servant to travel on. Although Yang Dingtian didnt really mind about this, his heart couldnt help but feel somewhat indignant. Qin Citys citizens had actually considered Yang Dingtian as a servant. Currently, Su Meis face was filled with unhappiness and helplessness as well. The martial artist commander didnt bring Yang Dingtian to the central main palace. Rather, he brought him to a desolated palace at the back. Wait over here. There will be someone here to call for you when it is Young Lord Ye Fengs time to compete in the martial arts competition. The martial artist commander pointed at the small courtyard and spoke coldly: Dont step out of this small courtyard without any order. Violators will be killed immediately. S~?a??h the N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian was immediately angered to the point of laughing as he walked into the desolated courtyard. Currently, the surrounding of this small courtyard was guarded with dozens of martial artists. Their faces were ice-cold, and they were fully equipped. Yang Dingtian entered the courtyard. There were dozens of tables placed inside, and dozens of people were sitting there having a meal. There were males and females. Currently, they had divided themselves into groups as they sat inside and chatted softly. Judging by their attire, these groups of people ought to be preparing to perform for tonights banquet. They were going to perform acrobatics, magic tricks and dances. Some people from Qin City had directly considered Yang Dingtian as the co-actor of a show. This was clearly the greatest humiliation. After Su Mei came in, she immediately frowned: They had really gone overboard. They had practically gone too far in their bullying. Yang Dingtian smiled slightly: Its alright. He searched for a place to sit down after entering the small courtyard. When those performers saw the expensive-looking gown on Yang Dingtian, they were immediately startled: Brother, which troupe do you come from? Why havent we seen you before? Yang Dingtian smiled slightly and was about to reply. Who knew, Su Mei would reply coldly: Open your eyes wide. Young Master Shens identity is extremely noble. How can it be comparable to you? Performers statuses were the lowest in this world. They were even worse than those ordinary civilians. Those performers persisted. Immediately, they laughed coldly in disdain: Whatre you acting mighty for. Why would you be here, sitting on this cold wooden bench if you arent a performer? Subsequently, these groups of people mocked Yang Dingtian softly. Su Mei was extremely unhappy about it and wanted to go forward to teach them a lesson. However, she was blocked off by Yang Dingtian. Im fine with this. Whats really funny is that those people had to utilize such underhanded means. Yang Dingtian commented. Su Mei replied coldly: They are truly not putting madam in their eyes at all. Yang Dingtian shook his head and didnt reply. Of course, they wouldnt dare to put Qin Mengli in their eyes at all. However, Qin City Lord had already expressed his disgust towards Shen Lang during the family feast. Therefore, it could be imagined how Qin City civilians would be treating him. Just like that, Yang Dingtian waited in this desolated courtyard. There wasnt even a cup of hot tea, let alone food and drinks. The main hall that was hundreds of meters away was filled with red lanterns and good wine as pleasant music bore into their ears. Fine liquors and delicacies fragrances were able to make their way into their nose even though they were several hundred meters away. This caused those performers in the desolated courtyard to drool with desire. Although they were only separated by a few hundred meters, the main hall and this desolated courtyard atmosphere were totally opposite of each other. The main hall had several thousand people seated within it. All of them were people of status. And those performers within the desolate courtyard were all people of the lowest rank. Just like this, Yang Dingtian waited for 15 minutes, half an hour, an hour! The birthday celebration in the main hall was extremely lively with countless fine liquors and delicacies being served like running water. Countless seductive beauties traveled back and forth continuously. Hundreds of meters around the main hall were brightly lit by the reflection of the lights, making it extremely beautiful. It was like the mortal world in heaven. Chapter 236: Dongfang Bingling, Dugu Fengwu, Ning Rou’er! Chapter 236: Dongfang Bingling, Dugu Fengwu, Ning Rouer!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales For that hour, no one had come over to notify Yang Dingtian and got him to head towards the main hall. Yang Dingtian laughed at himself. He really didnt expect this situation at all. It was at that moment, a burst of hurried footsteps ran out from the outside. Immediately after, the gate that was at a distance away was opened suddenly. The absolute beauty Qin Mengli stood outside the gate. She was simply beautiful to the point that it shocked everyones soul as she wore a purple brocade long dress. Qin Menglis eyes immediately turned red when she saw Yang Dingtian. Her beautiful cheek was filled with anger. Lets go, Shen Lang. I will help you obtain justice! Subsequently, Qin Mengli charged in immediately. She held onto Yang Dingtians hand and walked out as they advanced towards the main hall at the center. Immediately, those performers who kept mocking Yang Dingtian revealed an extremely surprised expression. Subsequently, the surprise turned into fright and fear. They hadnt thought that Yang Dingtian would be a big figure. A big figure that could use just a finger to crush them to death. Qin Mengli spoke in anger as they traveled: They actually didnt treasure the face I had given them. I really want to see which person had eaten the leopard guts that he actually dared to be so impolite to my man. Subsequently, she glanced at Yang Dingtian: Shen Lang, I have been searching for you the moment the banquet has started. Unexpectedly, they actually dared to place you at the desolated courtyard, which was meant for the performers. Since they want to fall out with us, why should I care for them anymore? I have already chased Ye Wuzheng, that eunuch away. Later, you will have to sit at my left. At a similar seat, the left side was for someone more senior than the seater, which was her husbands seat. Yang Dingtian smiled slightly: Is this worth getting angry for? However, can I request something from you? These performers are going to perform later. Although it isnt suitable for them to eat, you should at least prepare some tea for them, right? When she heard Yang Dingtians words, the fuming Qin Mengli immediately threw herself over and smiled as she rolled her eyes at Yang Dingtian: You have no greed or desires. No wonder you get bullied. You might be fine with it, but Im not... Just like this, Qin Mengli held onto Yang Dingtians hand. She didnt bother to cover it up and walked directly into the main hall at the center. The main hall was brightly lit, and there were no less than several thousands of people sitting inside. When everyone saw Qin Mengli had led Yang Dingtian into the main hall, the bustling main hall suddenly turned quiet. Everyone looked at Yang Dingtian and Qin Mengli with an unfathomable gaze! A lot of their complexion had turned unsightly! A lot of them had heard that Qin Mengli had gotten another lover. However, this lovers identity was better kept under the table. On the outside, Qin Mengli still had to be respectful towards Ye Wuzheng to act as a husband and wife. Unexpectedly, Qin Mengli had actually brought her lover into the main hall without bothering to disguise it. This was equivalent to falling out. This was equivalent to slapping Ye Wuzheng in the face in front of everyone else. Therefore, Ye Wuzhengs face instantly turned pale. There were no signs of redness as he looked at Qin Mengli and Yang Dingtian. Immediately, his gaze was like an injured wild animal as he revealed a terrifying amount of killing intent. Correct. It was Ye Wuzhengs order to place Yang Dingtian into the desolated performers courtyard. Unexpectedly, he didnt think that Qin Mengli would care so much about this lover. She had actually used the crudest method to retaliate against Ye Wuzheng. Immediately, Ye Wuzheng looked at Ye Feng without concealing his killing intent. That meaning behind it was extremely clear. He wanted Ye Feng to kill Yang Dingtian during the martial competition in front of everyones eyes. Ye Fengs face turned cold and nodded his head. Subsequently, he held onto the sword on his hand and looked towards Yang Dingtians gaze. It was also filled with killing intent. Ye Wuzheng was not the only one that had his expression turned unsightly. There were also Ye Wucheng, Qin Huaiyu as well as the supreme host of today, Qin Wanchou. However, the first thing Yang Dingtian noticed was not Qin Wanchou or Ye Wuzheng and Ye Feng, who wanted to kill him. Rather, it was the gaze of three beauties. These three beautiful ladies werent anyway inferior to the Qin Mengli at his side. S?a?ch* Th? N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. They were Dongfang Bingling, Third Lady Gongsun (Dugu Fengwu), as well as Ning Rouer! He truly didnt imagine that he would actually encounter these three ladies at the birthday celebration hall. *** It wasnt anything strange for Dongfang Bingling to appear here because she was a member of the Heaven Dao Union. It was just that the Yin Yang Sects status was higher than the Qin City. Therefore, her arrival would just elevate Qin Wanchous status. However, looking from another angle, currently, the number of Grandmasters around the world would not surmount four to five of them, and Qin Wanchou was one of them. Although Dongfang Bingling was Yin Yang Sects descendant, it was still her duty to offer birthday congratulations to a senior. As for Ning Rouer, Yang Dingtian should have already guessed it. The man who had sullied her several years ago ought to be Qin Huaiyu. It was just that Qin Huaiyu had always harbored rapacious ambitions for Ximen Yanyan. Yang Dingtian felt that Ning Rouer could at best be his private toy. Yet, he didnt imagine that Qin Huaiyu would actually bring her out for this birthday feast so openly. What made Yang Dingtian the most surprised was Dugu Fengwu. This beautiful woman got leopard guts. Although she was Third Lady Gongsun as well and had changed her face, Qin Wanchou was still a Grandmaster Class expert. Dongfang Bingling was so exceptional. She would probably see through her real identity. What reason could make this beautiful woman appear on this birthday feast? Furthermore, there was an even more terrifying matter. Once Dugu Fengwu would be at a certain distance from Yang Dingtian, she would be able to recognize him immediately. Therefore, the moment when Qin Mengli had brought Yang Dingtian into the main hall and everyones gaze had congealed onto his face, Yang Dingtian discovered these three faces that caused him to be astonished. However, he didnt stop his gaze at any of them. These three womens expressions werent the same as each other. Ning Rouer was slightly startled before looking back at Qin Mengli with a gaze that was with benevolence and worries. Without a doubt, she wasnt able to recognize Yang Dingtian. As for Dongfang Bingling, she didnt even bother to lift up the corner of her eyes. Even in front of everyone else, she was like the summit of a lofty tower. She had completely disregarded everyone around her. No wonder Dugu Fengwu dared to appear before her. This woman had considered everyone else beneath her. She was not the slightest bit interested in the Third Lady Gongsun that Dugu Fengwu was impersonating. Therefore, Dugu Fengwu wasnt afraid that she would see through her. As for Dugu Fengwu, her expression was somewhat weird. She glanced at Yang Dingtian and Qin Mengli dully. Subsequently, she moved her gaze away immediately. She didnt reveal any reaction, as if she couldnt recognize Yang Dingtian at all. Rather, it was Qin Wanchou and Qin Huaiyu, who had the biggest reaction. This was also the first time Yang Dingtian had seen Qin Wanchous real face! He was completely different from what he had imagined. His stature wasnt very tall and couldnt be counted as handsome. He didnt have a scholarly look and could even be said that he looked somewhat crude. Concentrated slender arched eyebrows, long and narrow pair of eyes and tall nose bridge! His whole face was very white but was filled with dominance. Both of his eyes were filled with shrewdness and schemes. However, it was also filled with impatience at all times. In short, this was someone with a very complex personality that was also filled with dominance. It was a person who would cause a person to feel intimidated just by looking at him. Ah Li, whatre you doing? Qin Wanchou immediately yelled angrily when he saw that Qin Mengli had brought Yang Dingtian in. Besides, she didnt even bother to cover it up in front of these several thousands of people. (NOTE:- Ah Li is also an intimate way for Qin Wanchou to address Qin Mengli.) Qin Menglis gaze turned courageous as she held onto Yang Dingtians hand. She immediately wanted to unveil it in front of everyone else. However, Yang Dingtian suddenly retreated by half a step. Subsequently, he bent his waist over slightly. Although he was still holding onto her hand, his role had been changed from a male lover into a servant. Your humble servant shall send Madam back to her seat! Yang Dingtian spoke with a bow. Qin Mengli was immediately startled as she looked at Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian gave her a meaningful glance before sending her back to her banquet seat with a bow. After that, he held onto his battle saber and stood behind her. He was completely like a loyal bodyguard. Although everyone knew what was happening, Yang Dingtians action could be counted as letting everyone have a way out of an embarrassing situation even though it was inappropriate for the guard commander to attend this birthday feast as well. At the very least, the White Cloud City Lord, Ye Wuchengs complexion was no longer as unsightly as before. As for Ye Wuzheng and Ye Feng, the killing intent in their eyes had yet to be reduced by a single bit. Qin Wanchou glanced at Qin Mengli coldly and spoke, Ah Li, as the host, how could you disappear during the banquet? It is extremely rude. Offer a toast to apologize to everyone. Although Qin Mengli had yet to fall out with them truly, her complexion still didnt get any better. She casually lifted up a cup of wine and drank it in a shot before ignoring them. Meanwhile, everyone present had also returned her the toast hastily as they covered this awkwardness away. Everyone present wanted to cover up this awkwardness. However, there were still people that didnt wish for it to be covered up. Ye Feng stood up directly and greeted Qin Wanchou with a bow, Father-in-law, today is your 50th birthday. Qin City had always paid high values towards martial spirit. We had also grown tired of watching singing and dancing. How about I dedicate a martial art competition for father-in-law just to liven things up? Qin Wanchou lifted up his massive wine cup and drank it in a shot. He knew what Ye Feng was trying to do, but he didnt put a stop to it. He didnt bother to glance at Yang Dingtian and replied directly, Sure! Ye Feng smiled immediately. He spoke towards Yang Dingtian, Commander Shen, you have been promoted to a person of status from a negligible being by Madam. I believe your martial arts should be extremely powerful. How about becoming my opponent for this martial arts competition? Yang Dingtian replied calmly: I shall accept your kind offer. Please! Ye Feng left his seat and walked towards the center of the main hall while holding onto his sword. Immediately, those female dancers in the hall withdrew themselves, leaving behind a thousand square meter space. Yang Dingtian carried a huge box and walked towards the center of the main hall, unhurriedly. He opened up the case and took out the huge and formidable Sky Devil Flame Saber. Ye Feng spoke, Father-in-law, tonight is your birthday banquet. Its a happy occasion, and there shouldnt be blood. However, Qin Citys iron blood is formidable. You wouldnt be bothered by such things, right? Later on, during the martial arts competition, if there is any mishap, shedding of blood or casualties, I hope father-in-law would forgive me. Alright! Qin Wanchou agreed directly. Immediately, everyones complexion turned heavily. Everyone knew that the White Cloud City was trying to get justice back for Ye Wuzheng. They wanted to kill Yang Dingtian as well as make reprisals for Qin Menglis ignorance. Furthermore, Qin Wanchou had agreed to it, expressing his punishment for Qin Mengli. It had also shown that he had no intention to break apart the alliance between Qin City and White Cloud City. Therefore, the gaze everyone looked at Yang Dingtian contained a bit more sympathy. In their eyes, this lover of Qin Mengli was dead. However, there was a limit to their sympathy. With regard to Yang Dingtians boy toy identity, they held disdain and despised it. The sword is ruthless. Life or death will depend on heaven. Commander Shen, please! Ye Feng unsheathed his weapon unhurriedly as he spoke coldly. Chapter 237: Fierce Battle! Die… Chapter 237: Fierce Battle! Die...Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales The sword is ruthless. Life or death will depend on heaven. Commander Shen, please! Ye Feng unsheathed his weapon unhurriedly as he spoke coldly. His weapon was a saber sword. The so-called saber sword meant that the bottom half of the sword was made like a saber while the top half was made to look like a sword. Thrust and slash could be utilized using the saber sword. It could be counted as an extremely special and sharp weapon. This Ye Fengs status was extremely high. He was a wealthy and powerful person in White Cloud City. Therefore, Ye Fengs saber sword was fully made from the blood black gold. It was completely a priceless sword in this world. Yang Dingtian had also drawn out his enormous and formidable Sky Devil Flame Saber as he spoke casually, The sword is ruthless. Life or death will depend on heaven! Horizon Rainbow Sword Technique, receive a sword of mine! When Ye Feng slashed down his sword, a golden rainbow immediately appeared at the center of the main hall as it sliced towards Yang Dingtian suddenly. The Horizon Rainbow Sword Technique was the White Cloud Citys exclusive sword technique. It was an 8th-grade secret martial skill and could only be learned by the outstanding descendants of the City Lord. This set of sword techniques could be said to be well-known throughout the world. Although it was only in the eighth-grade, it consisted of rare secret techniques of the sabers and swords. All the secret martial skills in this world were extremely strict with their requirements. The strictest was a sword, followed by saber, demon pestle, a huge staff, and others. The Pig Slaying Sword Art and Primal Chaos Exterminating Sword were secret arts made specially to counter against swords. The Wind Wave Evil Saber was a secret art meant to counter the sabers. Meanwhile, this Horizon Rainbow Sword Technique could be executed using a saber or sword. Therefore, it was well-known throughout the world. Besides, Ye Feng had paid a large amount of price for this set of sword techniques as he forged a blood black gold saber sword. At this moment, the slash Ye Feng had executed was the first style of Horizon Rainbow Sword Technique, Color of the Rainbow. It was about 5 inches long and was of a 9-star Martial Mystic standard. Yang Dingtian grasped onto his Sky Devil Flame Saber and circulated all of his mystic qi as he was preparing to receive Ye Fengs first attack. There wasnt any technique used to the point that he didnt use any martial skill. Bam! A loud reverberate resonated. This golden rainbow sliced onto Yang Dingtians Sky Devil Flame Saber before it exploded suddenly. It turned into thousands of radiances as it illuminated the brightly lit hall to make it seem even more like it was daytime. When Ye Feng saw that Yang Dingtian had unexpectedly received his attack head-on, he was startled immediately. He laughed coldly in his heart, Idiot, looking for death! Suddenly, Ye Wuzhengs complexion turned even more sinister. He wished he could tear Yang Dingtians body and crush his bones immediately. Immediately, Qin Mengli had also stood up from fright! After the loud reverberate had ended and the golden rays had dispersed. Everyone was able to see Yang Dingtians appearance clearly. His embroidered gown had somewhat disintegrated, and his face was somewhat pale. The corner of his mouth was stained with a thread of blood. But that was all. Correct. That was all! Yang Dingtian possessed a lot of tricks, but most of them were not useful. He could only receive this attack head-on, an attack from a 9-star Martial Mystic class expert. The conclusion was like this. His body trembled for a moment as he vomited a small mouthful of blood. Everyone was somewhat startled when they saw the current Yang Dingtian. Ye Fengs complexion changed slightly. He didnt expect that Yang Dingtian would be able to receive his first attack without any technique. But Ye Feng smiled coldly immediately after, Shen Lang, arent you very courageous? Since you dared to receive my saber sword like this, would you still dare to receive another attack of mine? Sure... Yang Dingtian replied, Young Lord Ye had also seen it. A birthday celebration is happening in this hall, and honored guests are everywhere. This place is filled with good wine and delicacies. If we are to fight crazily, it would be hard for us not to destroy this place. Therefore, lets have a more refined manner of a martial art competition. I shall take three hits from you, and you shall take three hits from me. How about that? When these words were spoken, everyone present here couldnt help but hiss out because this kind of martial art competition was extremely unfair to the party who possessed a lower cultivation level. How should we judge who loses? The person who spoke was unexpectedly Third Lady Gongsun, also known as Dugu Fengwu or the demon woman. Yang Dingtian replied, Lord Qin is a Grandmaster class expert. He could easily determine who the winner is. Sure, just like this. Qin Wanchou frowned his eyebrows and replied. Ye Feng replied coldly, Now, its your turn. Make your move. I will take it head-on. Yang Dingtian shook his head, Dont have to. I will make my move after I have taken three of your moves. When this sentence was spoken, everyone couldnt help but cry out in surprise. Had Yang Dingtian turned mad? Is he really tired of living? He was clearly looking for his death. Currently, Ye Feng was angered to the point that he started laughing. He no longer bothered to conceal himself and revealed an evil grin as he whispered, I shall grant you your wish since youre looking for death. Subsequently, he lifted his blood black gold saber sword unhurriedly. My second move is the Seven Colored Rainbow. Try receiving it. Ye Feng replied, Previously, it was merely a Colored Rainbow, and you already vomited blood from it. I would like to see how you are going to die when you receive this Seven Colored Rainbow. Seven Colored Rainbow was the final move from the Horizon Rainbow Sword Technique. The seven colors sword rainbow would form an extremely formidable rainbow move. It was seven times stronger than the first move. It was just like Ye Feng had said. It was just the first move, and Yang Dingtian had already vomited blood from it. Next, it was the Seven Colored Rainbow that was seven times stronger. Theoretically, Yang Dingtian would never be able to receive it head-on. Yang Dingtian stood motionlessly with both his hand holding onto the Sky Devil Flame Saber. He stared at Ye Feng closely without moving. Primal Chaos Horizon, Rainbow Without Boundary! Immediately, Ye Feng brandished his saber sword frantically. Immediately after, the center of the main hall became heavily lit. His elegant silhouette skimmed around in all directions. At the same time, layer and layer of sword rainbow started to congeal above his head. Gold, blood red, azure, dark green, cyan, orange, and purple color. The first layer of sword rainbow had only taken two to three seconds to condense itself. Meanwhile, the final layer of purple sword rainbow had used a full minute. When the Seven Colored Rainbow had fully condensed, it was around six to seven inches long. It floated above the main hall magnificently like a dreamland. Within the beauty, it was filled with vigorous killing intent. After the Seven Colored Rainbow had been fully condensed, it would continue to imbue mystic qi into itself before Ye Feng had yet to slash out. Immediately, that Seven Colored Rainbow became more and more bright and dazzling. This was where the fatal part of Horizon Rainbow Sword Technique was at. This technique was only an 8th-grade martial skill. Judging from this grade, it was still insufficient for it to be so awe-inspiring. The real reason why it was so well-known in the world was because of its final move, Seven Colored Rainbow. S?a??h the N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Because it was a martial skill that looked almost like a mystic skill, this couldnt be counted as much. The most crucial point was that ordinary martial skill would be immediately struck out after it had been fully condensed by mystic qi. The strongest form would be how it was supposed to be. Meanwhile, the Seven Colored Rainbow was different. After the seven layers of sword rainbow had been fully condensed, the caster could choose not to release it out immediately. He could continue to wait and imbue more mystic qi. Subsequently, this Seven Colored Rainbows power gradually became stronger. This was extremely terrifying! This Seven Colored Rainbow from Ye Feng was already seven times stronger than his first move. Currently, he was still imbuing more mystic qi in, causing its power to grow stronger continuously. Ye Feng was totally trying to send Yang Dingtian to his grave. Therefore, the main hall was in silence. Everyone was able to feel the desire to kill from Seven Colored Rainbow. Their complexions immediately turned grave. Meanwhile, Qin Menglis beautiful face had completely turned deathly pale. Her beautiful eyes were filled with terror, and her elegant and delicate fingernails had pierced into her palm. Her hand was already drenched with blood. However, she seemed not to have sensed it. Condense, condense! As before, Ye Feng was still congealing mystic qi. Furthermore, the killing intent on his face grew more concentrated while his expression became more sinister. Ultimately, Ye Fengs Seven Colored Rainbow condensed to its limit. Currently, the Seven Colored Rainbow that was floating above the air was already extremely dazzling. It had suppressed the brightly lit main hall to become extremely dark without any lights. Die, Shen Lang... Ye Feng suddenly cried out. Subsequently, he slashed down the saber sword in his hand. Immediately after, an explosion resonated out. The air suddenly turned scorching hot. Awoh.... The roar of the dragon and tiger could be heard. The Seven Colored Rainbow above Ye Fengs head had turned into an extremely fierce seven-colored enormous dragon. Suddenly, it pounced over to Yang Dingtian. This seven-colored dragon was a titan. Meanwhile, Yang Dingtian was extremely insignificant before it. He was really like a small tree that wouldnt even be able to withstand a single blow from the gales and lightning. When the dragon appeared, everyones complexion changed. Because this could no longer be counted as a martial skill. After the Seven Colored Rainbow, he had also utilized these energies to add another mystic skill, the Illusory Amorous Dragon Technique! Without a doubt, Ye Feng was trying to be shameless. However, no one would be bothered by this. Within the violent roars, the fierce and terrifying seven-colored enormous dragon suddenly arrived before him. It widened his mouth and was about to devour Yang Dingtian away. Chapter 238: Fatal Strike! Chapter 238: Fatal Strike!Yang Dingtian lifted up the Sky Devil Flame Saber in his hand and brandished frantically. On the surface, he was using the third style of Wind Wave Evil Saber, Splash Ink Gale. In fact, he was using the third style and first technique of Pig Slayer Sword Arts Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique, Fire Transformation Art! Yang Dingtian was extremely confident in this battle, but he couldnt help but feel restless since Ye Feng had started to act shamelessly. Therefore, the Seven Colored Rainbows might was no longer seven times stronger than his first move, the Color of the Rainbow. Rather, it was at least nine times stronger. Or perhaps, even more. Ye Feng wanted to put Yang Dingtian to his death in his second move. Previously, Yang Dingtian had forcefully received Ye Fengs first attack, the Color of the Rainbow, and was jolted to the point of vomiting blood. Now, this Seven Colored Rainbow, together with the Illusory Amorous Dragon Technique, had increased its energy by at least nine times. Just Yang Dingtian alone would never be able to receive this attack head-on. Therefore, he had to depend on the Yin Yang Qi Transformation Techniques might. If the third style of Pig Slaying Sword Art were really a supreme sacred art, Yang Dingtians Transformation Qi Art would be able to receive the upcoming third attack as well. If the Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique werent formidable enough, Yang Dingtian would be defeated tonight. Perhaps, he would even die here. S?a??h th? N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Awoh... That seven-colored enormous dragon widened its large mouth to its limit ferociously. Meanwhile, Yang Dingtian brandished his Sky Devil Flame Saber. Suddenly, he charged into its terrifying big mouth. Therefore, momentarily, no one knew if it were Yang Dingtian who had charged in or was he devoured by that brightly lit enormous dragon. But immediately after, everyone could no longer spot Yang Dingtians silhouette. It was as if the seven-colored brightly lit enormous dragon had devoured him. Subsequently, the enormous dragon spiraled around and roared frantically. It was as if it wanted to crush Yang Dingtian into pieces within its stomach. Ye Feng withdrew his saber sword and revealed a complacent smile on his face. This was the result he wanted. Not only did he want to kill his opponent, but he also wanted to do it gorgeously. For Yang Dingtian and Qin Mengli to have an illicit and passionate love affair with each other was a complete provocation towards the White Cloud City. White Cloud City had no way to deal with Qin Mengli. However, they could easily kill Yang Dingtian off. This was also to warn others that they could have fun with this stunning and remarkable Qin Mengli. However, if they were to take things seriously, they would undoubtedly die. Meanwhile, Ye Wuzhengs malevolent expression had also slightly loosened up. His graceful and dignified expression had also gradually returned. After Ye Wucheng saw the enormous brightly lit dragon had devoured Yang Dingtian, he curled the corner of his mouth up. He no longer looked at the battle within the main hall. Rather, he lifted up his wine cup and gave Qin Wanchou a toast in a delighted and relaxed manner. Although Qin Wanchous expression wasnt really pleasant, he still returned Ye Wucheng a toast. He lifted up the cup before him and drank it in a gulp. Third Lady Gongsun looked at the center of the battlefield full of interest. Meanwhile, Dongfang Bingling was still as ignorant as before. She had totally not placed the martial arts competition in her eyes at all. The thing she was doing was staring into blank space as if she werent attending the birthday celebration at all. *** Currently, Yang Dingtian was wrapped up by extremely terrifying and formidable energy. It influx his body crazily, hoping to rip apart everything within Yang Dingtians body. Fire Transformation Art! Fire Transformation Art! Fire Transformation Art! Yang Dingtian kept using the same move frantically, the first style of Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique, Fire Transformation Art. Immediately, countless of burning mystic qi energy that was pouring into Yang Dingtians body had been frantically dissolved, turning into pure mystic qi and was infused into his qi vessel. The Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique was truly extremely formidable. Indeed, it was extremely mysterious. Meanwhile, the burning mystic qi energy that was surging in had unexpectedly been dissolved rapidly. Furthermore, as time passed, Yang Dingtians proficiency in the Transformation Qi Art grew, the amount of flaming mystic qi he could dissolve grew as well. But even so, Yang Dingtian still discovered that it was extremely hard for him to dissolve a 9-star Martial Mystic class expert with his current Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique. The remaining mystic qi he couldnt dissolve had still injured Yang Dingtian. Meanwhile, the scene at the center of the main hall had already turned extremely stunning. Almost everyone thought that Yang Dingtian would undoubtedly die. However, the situation changed at the next moment. The color of the brightly lit enormous dragon had gradually grown dim. Ultimately, it no longer spiraled around. Rather, he seemed to be struggling. Bang... All of a sudden, a loud noise reverberates out. Yang Dingtian suddenly flew out from the sky while holding onto his Sky Devil Flame Saber. Subsequently, a rift suddenly tore open on the brightly lit enormous dragon. Yang Dingtian had torn open a rift on the enormous energy dragon. After which, he broke out from the dragon. After he charged out, Yang Dingtian landed onto the ground. He slashed at the enormous dragon using his Sky Devil Flame Saber frantically. Everyone was dumbstruck. This couldnt be a joke, right? This enormous dragon wasnt a real organism. It was just an illusory dragon that was formed from the flaming mystic qi. Currently, Yang Dingtian had actually used his solidified saber and slashed onto the illusory energy dragon. How could this not be insane? But the next scene had almost turned them crazy. Because when Yang Dingtian brandished his sword, the enormous illusory dragon had actually disintegrated pieces by pieces as parts of it got chopped off. Go! Finally, Yang Dingtian suddenly yelled out. Once again, he dived into the badly damaged, brightly lit enormous dragon body. Subsequently, he sliced crazily with his Sky Devil Flame Saber. Break! A loud explosion and the radiances dazzled everyones eyes. Immediately, the brightly lit enormous dragon was crushed horribly. The scattered ashes and smokes were turned into thousands of flaming radiances before disappearing from the void. It was like the resplendent fireworks. Finally, Yang Dingtian withdrew his sword and stood tall. Ye Feng stood still as if he had been struck by lightning as he stared at Yang Dingtian lifelessly. He was completely unable to imagine that this would actually happen. This was simply too erroneous, too insane. Not only Ye Feng, but Ye Wuzheng was also shocked to the point of being speechless. Meanwhile, for Ye Wucheng, the wine came pouring down from the wine cup that had yet to enter his mouth. Even so, he seemed to have not felt it. Dugu Fengwus beautiful eyes brightened up. Subsequently, she coagulated her gaze on Yang Dingtians face as she revealed an astonished expression. However, no one knew what her expression meant. Meanwhile, Dongfang Binglings beautiful eyes glanced at Yang Dingtian casually as if it were the first time she had taken notice of the situation. However, it was merely a casual glance before moving her gaze immediately, showing no concern for it. Instead, Qin Wanchou and Qin Huaiyu had used a solemn gaze and looked towards Yang Dingtian for the first time. As for Qin Mengli, her original pale and colorless face had instantly turned red. The unexpected surprise had caused her beautiful eyes to turn tearful. Her excited face caused her to appear even more uniquely beautiful. Yang Dingtian looked towards Ye Feng and spoke calmly, Young Lord Ye Feng, you still have the third move. Immediately, Ye Fengs body suddenly trembled violently. Correct. He still had one more move. However, Ye Fengs heart had somewhat started to waver. For his second move, not only had he used the Seven Colored Rainbow, but he had also shamelessly utilized a mystic skill. Undoubtedly, it was two moves combined into one. Yet, he had purposely pretended it to be a single move. Originally, he was extremely confident of this fatality strike. He felt that he would definitely be able to kill Yang Dingtian. Unexpectedly, not only did he not die. Instead, it had drawn such a breathtaking performance from the other party. It was as if all of his awesomeness had become Yang Dingtians bedcover. There was the third move. However, Ye Feng had basically not prepared anything for his third move. The second move was already this powerful, and it was still unable to kill Yang Dingtian. Currently, he truly had no idea what he was going to do with the third move. Therefore, for a short period, he couldnt help but look toward his father, Ye Wucheng. When Ye Wucheng sensed his sons gaze, his complexion changed immediately. He commented coldly, Have you turned muddle-headed? Isnt it just a misstep of the Seven Colored Rainbow. You still have so many formidable things that you have yet to put into use. The mystic skill your uncle had handed over to you, have you forgotten about that? The moment he heard the words, Ye Fengs complexion couldnt help but change. A trace of fear had even been revealed within his eyes. Immediately, Yang Dingtian felt a burst of slight discomfort in his heart. Correct, Ye Feng had revealed fear within his eyes. On the contrary, Yang Dingtian felt somewhat uneasy. Who was Ye Wuchengs uncle? Zhu Qingzhu, the Mystic Heaven Sect Patriarch. After the Hidden Sect had hidden from the world as well as the passing of Dongfang Niemie and Ximen Wuya, the Mystic Heaven Sect patriarch Zhu Qingzhu had truly become the strongest person in this world. Furthermore, the Soul Devouring Mystic Qi he had used to cause the death of Ximen Wuya was still vivid within Yang Dingtians mind. It could be imagined to be a strong and abnormal mystic skill that was taught to Ye Feng. Even Ye Feng himself was afraid of it. A lot of them present at the scene possessed extremely high cultivation. Therefore, they had immediately caught onto it when Ye Feng revealed a trace of fear. Immediately, a lot of their gazes had become complex and strange. Ye Feng was an extremely sensitive person. He possessed an abnormal amount of selfishness and arrogance. When he sensed those gazes, his heart seemed to have started burning immediately. Subsequently, both his eyes began to burn in an extremely abnormal radiance quickly. The gaze he looked at Yang Dingtian was also instantly filled with entrenched hatred. He had to kill Yang Dingtian. The person before him must die. Although he was filled with fear towards the mystic skill which had caused him to possess a nightmarish memory, so long as he was able to kill the person before him, everything would be worth it. After that, Ye Feng revealed a gloomy and cold smile at Yang Dingtian, The third move. Right, theres still the third move! Currently, he did not pose any threats. However, the gaze he was looking at Yang Dingtian was as if he were looking at a deadman. Subsequently, he lifted up the sword in his hand and started to dance lightly. Correct, it was just some light dances. Furthermore, it looked like an extremely ordinary movement. It was filled with casualness as he brandished the sword in his hand. There wasnt any aesthetic, and no profoundness could be sensed from it. It was just a casual brandishment. First sword! Second sword! Third sword! Immediately, Yang Dingtians expression grew extremely solemn. He could instinctively feel the dangerous aura. All of a sudden, the whole main hall turned dark when he brandished the fourth sword. All of the candle flames swayed gently. There wasnt any wind. However, these candle flames seemed to have met something terrifying. Immediately, they started to shrink. Therefore, the whole hall became dark. Fifth sword! Sixth sword! Seventh sword! Subsequently, the brightly lit main hall gradually turned darker. This wasnt an illusion or the contrast of light. Rather, it had indeed turned dark. All of the flame within the main hall seemed to have been devoured by some kind of special energy. After that, everyone present could clearly sense that there were a lot of energies rushing forth to Ye Fengs body. Chapter 239: Heaven-Defying Qi Transformation Art! Chapter 239: Heaven-Defying Qi Transformation Art!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales After that, everyone present could clearly sense that there were a lot of energies rushing forth to Ye Fengs body. Subsequently, while the speed of which Ye Feng brandished his sword grew faster, it caused his body to form something like an energy whirlpool. It started to devour all the mystic qi energy in the surroundings. Tens of meters to dozens of meters, followed by several hundred meters to thousands of meters. All the energy had rushed towards Ye Fengs body. Meanwhile, his brandishment speed grew faster. However, it merely grew faster; there wasnt any beauty and profoundness to it. Gradually, Ye Fengs body got shrouded by darkness, and his handsome face grew whiter. Ultimately, there was no longer a hint of redness to it. It was whitened to the point of terrifying. Meanwhile, only his eyes grew redder. Currently, Yang Dingtian had already sensed that it was extremely dangerous. Ye Feng was currently devouring all the mystic qi energy in the surroundings. Even the energy that was released by the candles was not let off. However, what Yang Dingtian couldnt comprehend was that he didnt purify or refine these energies and had devoured them into his body. Yet, why didnt he die from an explosion? All these were battle mystic qi and not cultivation mystic qi. Cultivation mystic qi and battle mystic qi were totally opposite of each other. Battle mystic qi was used for fights, while cultivation mystic qi was used for cultivation and breakthrough of qi vessel. Once a person started to absorb the battle mystic qi, he would be able to fill his mystic qi and qi vessel within a few hours. However, if he wished to use the cultivation mystic qi to fill his qi vessel and cause it to expand to breakthrough, it would need half a year or even longer. Therefore, cultivation mystic qi was refined from the battle mystic qi. They were totally opposite of each other. Currently, Ye Feng had unexpectedly devoured all of the battle mystic qi within a kilometer around him. Yet, he didnt die from an explosion. This was really too strange, and Yang Dingtian was unable to comprehend this. However, Yang Dingtian could be sure that this was definitely not any prestigious grand sects cultivation technique. It was definitely an evil cultivation technique. Very quickly, Yang Dingtian had also ascertained this judgment because he saw a trace of a disdainful and satirizing smile on the corner of Dugu Fengwus mouth. He could sense that even Qin Wanchou had also slightly narrowed his eyes. Many of those present at the scene were experts. Without a doubt, they could recognize how evil Ye Fengs cultivation technique was. Yet, none of them spoke or pointed it out. This world was truly ridiculous. Yang Dingtian didnt use his Evil Soul Art. Yet, there were people that slandered him to be the undercover agent of the Evil Dao. Meanwhile, Ye Feng before him had openly used an evil cultivation technique, and this group of Heaven Dao Union people had actually ignored it. It seemed like the so-called evil and righteous could never coexist together as well as one would have to die once they were polluted by the Evil Dao was just an empty statement. Perhaps, it had completely become the political weapon of the upper echelon of Heaven Dao Union. Currently, endless of mystic qi was still coagulating in Ye Fengs body. The Ye Feng that was wrapped up by formidable energies had completely revealed his might of not being compatible with these energies. 9-star Martial Mystic class expert, Martial Ancestor class expert, 1-star Martial Ancestor class expert, 2-star Martial Ancestor class expert, 3-star Martial Ancestor class expert, 4-star Martial Ancestor class expert. The energies on Ye Fengs body continued to inflate and increased as he grew stronger. Qin Mengli wasnt very knowledgeable about martial arts. However, she was already able to tell that something was amiss. She pleaded towards Qin Wanchou anxiously, Brother, quickly put a stop to this martial arts competition. I dont believe that you couldnt tell something is not right here. Qin Wanchou glared at her coldly, Thats because he sought death himself. He couldnt blame it on others. Qin Menglis tears fell down as she wept, Brother, please, dont let him die. I will immediately send him away to a faraway place. I guarantee that I will make a clean break with him. Qin Wanchou replied calmly, Too late! Furthermore, you have to be partly responsible for his death. Immediately, Qin Mengli smiled distressfully, This is your so-called Heaven Dao Union? This is your so-called prestigious grand sect? Im really ashamed of it for you. After she spoke, Qin Mengli stood up and pulled out her dagger. She was about to charge towards Ye Feng. Qin Wanchous complexion turned cold. However, a trace of distress flashed in his eyes as he flung Qin Menglis sleeve lightly. Immediately, before Qin Mengli had stood straight, she crooked to a side of the table and lost her consciousness. But on the surface, it seemed as if she was intoxicated because of the alcohol. *** Yang Dingtian used the corner of his eyes and saw Qin Mengli had fainted on the table. His heart grew softer lightly. After that, he looked towards Ye Feng. The other party was completely filled with an aura that could cause a person to palpitate. Previously, Yang Dingtian had merely felt a sense of danger. But now, Yang Dingtian felt a deadly crisis. He had to save himself. Otherwise, he would really die here because Ye Fengs energy was still increasing. Master, what exactly is happening? Yang Dingtian inquired in his heart, Judging on Ye Fengs cultivation, he was clearly unable to devour and control such a huge amount of battle mystic qi. He ought to be dead from a body explosion. Why was he still able to devour the energies in an unending stream? Dongfang Niemie looked at it for a while and replied in alarm, This is the Devil Encirclement Mystic Art. Its the core evil cultivation technique of Joyous Palace. Others might not know of it, but it is impossible for Qin Wanchou to have no idea of it. When has the Heaven Dao Union degenerated to this degree? S?a?ch* Th? N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The strongest faction of Evil Dao was the Shrine of Ten Thousand Extermination. Joyous Palace was at its left, and Temple of Ten Thousand Blood was at its right. Therefore, Joyous Palace was more mysterious and formidable than the Temple of Ten Thousand Blood. When it came to Evil Daos position, Joyous Palace was preceded only by the Shrine of Ten Thousand Extermination. Besides, this Devil Encirclement Mystic Art belonged to the Evil Dao Joyous Palace. This Devil Encirclement Mystic Art isnt a martial skill or mystic skill. It is a kind of evil cultivation technique. Among the Evil Daos, its position was below the Evil Soul Art. However, it is still extremely formidable and terrifying. This cultivation technique could drastically raise a persons cultivation by ten levels within a short period of time. You said that this Ye Feng was a 9-star Martial Mystic class expert. After utilizing this cultivation technique, he could temporarily become a 9-star Martial Ancestor class expert. Dongfang Niemie replied. As to why he was able to devour so much battle mystic qi and not die from a body explosion, Im not specifically sure why. But it is most likely because he could use the cultivation technique and make another temporary qi vessel. This temporary qi vessel is a rapidly rotating energy formation. This kind of energy formation would rotate at an extremely fast speed. Therefore, it would form an enormous energy whirlpool. It can wrap and coagulate the energies that are dozens of times stronger than the caster within him. Therefore, all the battle mystic qi he had devoured was not placed in his qi vessel. Rather, it existed at the other rapidly rotating temporary qi vessel. Yang Dingtian replied in astonishment, If this cultivation technique is so formidable, wouldnt a Grandmaster class expert be undefeatable if they were to use it? Its not like this. Dongfang Niemie replied, The aftermath of utilizing such cultivation techniques is extremely severe. Once they utilized it, their cultivation would fall back for several years or perhaps even longer. Furthermore, this kind of energy would bring forth intense energy impact to the mystic meridians after it was being utilized. In the future, there would be an enormous bottleneck for them to overcome in their cultivation. Therefore, any true expert would try their best to abstain from using such cultivation techniques. This includes Evil Dao experts as well. Yang Dingtian was startled immediately. Ye Feng was the young lord of White Cloud City as well as Ye Wuchengs son and his future inheritor. Unexpectedly, to kill Yang Dingtian, Ye Wucheng was willing to pay such an enormous price for it. It was truly astonishing. However, Yang Dingtian had tossed this doubt aside very quickly because his master told him that Ye Fengs cultivation would temporarily rise to a 9-star Martial Ancestor class expert by relying on this cultivation technique. Yang Dingtian would really die when he would face such a fatal attack. Yang Dingtian didnt expect that he would land in such circumstances. Ye Feng actually knew the evilest cultivation technique of Joyous Palace. Master, is there any method to break this Devil Encirclement Mystic Art? Yang Dingtian inquired hurriedly. Dongfang Niemie replied, If you had asked me this question ten years ago, I would definitely be at ones wits end. However, I had been frozen for the past ten years. Thus, I had spent all the time reflecting. The ways to break Devil Encirclement Mystic Art and Evil Soul Art had been the core topic of my reflection. Currently, Im still unable to decipher a method to break the Evil Soul Art. However, I have found a method to break the Devil Encirclement Mystic Art. What method? Yang Dingtian inquired hurriedly. It would be extremely hard for others to achieve this. Perhaps, it might be impossible for them. Dongfang Niemie commented, But to you, achieving it was extremely easy with no difficulty! Chapter 240: You Can Die Now! Chapter 240: You Can Die Now!This Ye Feng is using an evil technique to create a temporary qi vessel that is constantly revolving at rapid speed. Only by doing so can he contain extremely powerful energy. Hence, it is very easy to neutralize this Devil Encirclement Mystic Art. Destroy his temporary qi. How to destroy it? By stagnating the outside energy from sinking in, thus stopping the rapid revolution. Once the revolution stops, even for just half a second, the temporary qi vessel wouldnt be able to contain this powerful energy and would instantly explode. Dongfang Niemie explained. Yang Dingtian asked in a hurry, Then how should I stop the revolution of this temporary qi vessel? Dongfang Niemie said, To others, it might be nearly impossible. But to you, it might pose no difficulty at all. Really? Yang Dingtian had this instant invigoration as he asked again, What method? Dongfang Niemie stated, This temporary and fictitious qi vessel is outside the body, but it is entirely in energy form. Furthermore, it is constantly shifting, making it impossible to find the location of the temporary qi vessel. But once the energy is condensed to the limits and at the moment of attack, the temporary qi vessel would light up for an instant before blasting over violently. If it hits your body, it will explode abruptly, and when that happens, there is only one conclusion that is horrible death by getting blown to smithereens. The time span for the temporary qi vessel to light up until it hits your body, it should be less than a tenth of a second according to the time on your Earth. Therefore, you need to be extremely fast. As soon as you see the energy form lighting up, immediately cleave a saber rainbow and concentrate on this fictitious qi vessel. Yang Dingtian responded, Just like that? Of course not. Dongfang Niemie continued, The next part is the most crucial part. When you send out the saber rainbow, it would contain fire attribute qi energy mostly, but it has to envelop a trace of ice energy. Because that temporary qi vessel is rapidly revolving with fire energy and at this moment, you just have to pour in a hint of ice energy. It will cause the temporary qi vessel to stagnate for an instant, and the powerful energy contained within would immediately explode. Ye Fengs fatal attack would then neutralize into nothing and directly explode in the air. Yang Dingtian replied, Master, since thats the case, if Ye Feng encounters an ice-attribute martial artist, wouldnt this Devil Encirclement Mystic Art be done for? Of course not. Dongfang Niemie said, The energy in the temporary qi vessel is very massive and has a very powerful ability to exclude other energy. Thus, if ice-attribute energy is to invade it, the ice-attribute energy would be negated before approaching. This is why this ice energy must be concealed inside the fire energy. This way, the temporary qi vessel will consume the invading fire energy and allow the ice energy to enter at the same time. Within this temporary qi vessel, it is filled with completely pure and highly concentrated fire energy, and even a hint of ice energy would cause an instant explosion. Suddenly, Yang Dingtian understood. If anyone else were to face this Devil Encirclement Mystic Art, they would be powerless against it as a fire-attribute martial artist couldnt release ice-attribute energy. But Yang Dingtian could do it because he had the ice-attribute mystic talisman that allowed him to release ice-attribute energy. Of course, there was another difficult task. How was he going to envelop the ice energy inside the fire energy? Fire energy and ice energy were natural enemies, and they were unable to coexist. When a small amount of ice energy encountered a massive amount of fire energy, there would be only one result... instant engulfment. This problem might be unsolvable for the entire world, but Yang Dingtian had the solution as he had the Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique. Of course, with his current strength, he couldnt transform fire energy into ice energy. In fact, Yang Dingtian felt that it was impossible, even if he was at the Master class because it was basically trying to transform the absolute yang into the absolute yin. But, Yang Dingtian was able to transform the fire energy into pure mystic qi energy and use it to envelop the ice energy. This way, the pure mystic qi energy could envelop the ice energy, and the fire energy could envelop the pure mystic qi energy. Doing so would achieve perfect balance. Therefore, the neutralization method of the Devil Encirclement Mystic Art mentioned by Dongfang Niemie might be impossible for others, but it was a simple task for Yang Dingtian. It was entirely due to the fact that Yang Dingtian had the ice-attribute mystic talisman and the Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique. ... S?a?ch* Th? ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian might have conversed with his master for a long time, but Dongfang Niemies divine sense was inside Yang Dingtians mind; hence, this entire conversation took just a few seconds. After knowing what to do, Yang Dingtian instantly reached into his spatial ring to retrieve the ice-attribute mystic talisman before pouring his mystic qi inside. When the mystic qi entered the ice-attribute mystic talisman, it turned into ice-attribute mystic qi energy and was lingering inside Yang Dingtians palm. Afterward, Yang Dingtian produced a bundle of fire mystic qi energy and using the first move of the Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique, the Fire Transformation Art, to instantly transform this bundle of fire mystic qi energy into pure mystic qi energy. He then enveloped the faint ice mystic qi energy inside the pure mystic qi energy. Finally, Yang Dingtians Sky Devil Flame Saber poured out fire mystic qi energy frenziedly and enveloped this pure mystic qi energy. This energy was accumulating and getting stronger until it realized Yang Dingtians limits as a 1-star Martial Mystic expert. After doing everything, Yang Dingtian placed this energy back into the Sky Devil Flame Saber, and with the enhancement from the Sky Devil Flame Saber, this energys power was increased by 25%. In the blink of the eye, Yang Dingtians Sky Devil Flame Saber turned completely red. Everyone could see Yang Dingtians actions. They knew he had already utilized his mystic qi to the extremity in preparation to withstand Ye Fengs fatal attack. But everyone felt that Yang Dingtian was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; it was the same thought in everyones mind. If these people knew the classical literature on Earth, they would surely classify Yang Dingtians behavior as Don Quixote going against the windmill. But this was going to be utterly useless. There were a few dozen experts beyond the Martial Supreme class in the audience. All of them could easily see that Yang Dingtians mystic qi was only at 1-star Martial Mystic class while Ye Fengs current energy class was at 9-star Martial Ancestor class. The energy class difference between these two individuals was worlds apart. Therefore, the energy that Yang Dingtian prepared for the resistance was utterly insignificant. Hence, these experts knew that this martial contest might not be splendid, but there was only one conclusion, and that was Yang Dingtians certain death and getting blown into smithereens. Although some people were feeling unsatisfied, none of them was willing to offend the White Cloud City for this matter. Yang Dingtian might have to die with injustice, but there was no other choice. Who asked him to overestimate himself? Who asked for his existence to break the alliance between the Northwest Qin City and the White Cloud City? With Ye Wucheng and Ye Wuzheng included, they were treating Yang Dingtians efforts in resistance with contempt. In their hearts, Yang Dingtian was already dead. ... Currently, Ye Feng had finally gathered the mystic qi energy to the peak. Just as Dongfang Niemie mentioned, this Devil Encirclement Mystic Arts ability to gather mystic qi energy had stopped just at 9-star Martial Ancestor class. Ye Fengs current expression was the same as a demon. Right now, it was already unclear which part of his eyes were the pupils and which parts were the sclera, just like a demon. Shen Lang, you can die now! Ye Feng yelled out with a bizarre voice. Immediately after, two inches in front of his chest, a bundle of energy suddenly lit up. This was the temporary qi vessel outside the body, and it was only the size of a fist. The mystic qi energy of a 9-star Martial Ancestor was actually condensed to the size of a fist. It was obvious how concentrated the energy was. With such a small size, Yang Dingtian could only wait until it lit up; otherwise, it was impossible to detect it. The instant when the powerful energy form lit up, Yang Dingtians Sky Devil Flame Saber burst out with energy from within, and it was shot at the temporary qi vessel. Meanwhile, the temporary qi vessel in front of Ye Feng had launched out with radiance that was even brighter than the sun. It suddenly expanded and attacked Yang Dingtian. Boom... There was a violent and loud explosion. It looked just like the explosion of a missile as the center of the main hall was filled with this dazzling radiance and blinded everyone for a short moment. The majority of the audience had closed their eyes. They couldnt bear to see the scene of Yang Dingtian exploding into pieces. Most of them were members of the Heaven Dao Union and were also very snobbish; hence, they didnt wish to see such a hideous scene. Subsequently, a powerful energy wave engulfed the surroundings and had destroyed everything in its path. The metal bricks on the ground were turned into dust; the gigantic metallic pillars were also instantly shattered. Originally, all the tables in this feast would be shattered too, but almost everyone was an expert in the audience. At the instant of the explosion, they swiftly surged out with mystic qi and created a barrier that covered a few meters in radius. Hence, when the explosion energy wave assaulted over, the air shook a little while all the delicacies and wine on the table were unscathed. However, this energy wave continued to extend out of the main hall. The maidservants, servants, and guards in the plaza outside were all sent flying and violently vomiting fresh blood. The trees in the plaza were turned into pieces, and the giant stone sculpted pillars were also severed. The residual force of the explosion had reached 1,000 meters before dissipating. ... Shen Lang, when you reincarnate in the next life, you better open your eyes bigger. There are some people that you cannot afford to offend; there are also some people that you can never have a share of. Once you make a mistake, death shall await you. As the horrifying radiance faded, Ye Feng spoke indifferently. Although everyone already knew of the result, when they heard Ye Fengs voice, their hearts still sank. This Shen Lang had still died in the end! Although Yang Dingtian was just a passerby to everyone here, Ye Fengs despicable methods had made him prominently bright and heroic. After Ye Fengs complacent and grim laughter, there was utter silence and no response. Chapter 241: Knocking Out Ye Feng Instantly! Shocking Chapter 241: Knocking Out Ye Feng Instantly! ShockingAfter Ye Fengs complacent and grim laughter, there was utter silence and no response. Ye Feng bowed toward Qin Wanchou and said, Lord Father-in-law, this son-in-law has finished the martial contest. I have defeated and killed the opponent. I hope that it will bring up the mood for you to have a few drinks. Before Qin Wanchou could respond, Ye Feng was about to return to his seat. Although there was an alliance by marriage with the Northwest Qin City, the people of the White Cloud City were rather arrogant. s?a??h th? N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Everyone watched in silence as Ye Feng returned to his seat. No one applauded and congratulated Ye Fengs victory. As long as a person had a certain level of knowledge for martial arts, they would know how despicable Ye Fengs final move was. *** Right at this moment, there was a sudden and indifferent voice that echoed. Young Lord Ye, you have just finished your three moves, but I have yet to start mine. Why are you in such a hurry to return to your seat? Without a doubt, it was Yang Dingtians voice. At the sound of this voice, he wasnt dead yet, and it felt as though he wasnt even injured as it didnt sound weak. The crowd was silenced. Ghost... After hearing Yang Dingtians voice, Ye Feng suddenly screamed. It was unknown if this world had ghosts, but the current Yang Dingtian was definitely not a ghost. The evil techniques attack that Ye Feng used was that a 9-star Martial Ancestor classs energy form had exploded, but it exploded over ten meters away from Yang Dingtian. The fatality to Yang Dingtian from this distance was simply negligible. But everything happened too quickly, and the explosions radiance was too dazzling. Almost every single person assumed that the powerful energy had exploded on Yang Dingtians body. Just as Dongfang Niemies said, as long as the timing was grasped properly, the neutralization of Ye Fengs Devil Encirclement Mystic Art was a simple task for Yang Dingtian. After the intense radiance faded, everyone could see Yang Dingtian standing there perfectly fine and without any damage. His hair was rather messy due to the wind, but his complexion was actually much better than Ye Feng. When Ye Feng saw Yang Dingtian completely intact, it was as if he had really seen a ghost and had collapsed. His eyes looked at Yang Dingtian with terror while his right finger trembled as he pointed at Yang Dingtian. He then yelled in a sharp voice, How is this possible?! How can it be possible?! How can you not be dead?! Everyone present had the same doubts. Ye Wuzhengs expression wasnt any better than Ye Feng as his expression was frozen as he stared blankly at Yang Dingtian, who was standing upright. Even White Cloud City Lord, Ye Wucheng, had disregarded his shrewd pretentious expression as his entire face had distorted unpleasantly. Even Qin Wanchous face was filled with astonishment as he looked at Yang Dingtian. Once Ye Feng executed the Devil Encirclement Mystic Art, he didnt bother about the situation of the fight anymore. As such, he never expected this result that he was witnessing. The Devil Encirclement Mystic Art was an extremely evil technique that was used by one of Evil Daos leading factions, the Joyous Palace. Not a single person present could think of a method to neutralize it. But Yang Dingtian, who was only a 1-star Martial Mystic, had neutralized it, and he was able to come out unscathed from such a powerful energy attack. After the astonishment, Qin Wanchous face suddenly revealed a smile. He then brushed his palm at Qin Mengli through the air. The unconscious Qin Mengli woke up. When Qin Mengli woke up, she immediately drew her dagger and was about to rush at Ye Feng. But as soon as she stood up, she suddenly noticed that Yang Dingtian was standing there perfectly fine, while Ye Feng had a ghastly pale expression and was completely despondent. Qin Menglis gorgeous face revealed an unbelievable ecstasy before her tears gushed out, and the dagger fell onto the ground. She couldnt imagine how Yang Dingtian did it. But unlike others, she wasnt concerned about how her lover had done it; she was only concerned that her lover was still standing upright and had obtained victory! *** Yang Dingtian looked at Ye Feng indifferently and smiled, Young Lord Ye, you have finished your three moves. It is my turn now. I am going to execute the first move of the 8th-grade mystic skill, the Devil Flame Saber Arts Blazing Violent Saber. Prepare yourself. Ye Feng was completely despondent and couldnt even hear what Yang Dingtian had said. He stood there in a daze and continued to mumble, How is it possible? How is it possible? Yang Dingtian gave another reminder, Young Lord Ye, you should prepare yourself. I am going to make my first move. Ye Feng still didnt react. Ye Feng! Yang Dingtian suddenly yelled out. Ye Feng got a shock and jumped up while asking, What? Prepare yourself to defend. I am going to make my first move, Blazing Violent Saber. Yang Dingtian said. Oh, okay! Ye Feng reacted instinctively and held his saber sword with both his hands. His legs bent over a little, and he gathered his mystic qi to block Yang Dingtians first move. Are you prepared? Yang Dingtian asked. I am prepared. Ye Feng replied. But he was responding entirely with his basic instincts. In fact, he didnt even know what he had said. But everyone else was very serious as they felt that Yang Dingtian was such a gentleman. Previously, Ye Feng had acted so despicably, but Yang Dingtian was requiting evil with good. Devil Flame Saber Art, Blazing Violent Saber! Yang Dingtian yelled out clearly and cleaved with his Sky Devil Flame Saber. Instantly, a blood-red, flaming blade slashed out and struck on Ye Fengs chest. Bang... There was a clear sound. Ye Fengs body flew off abruptly while he violently vomited blood. He was like a rice straw as he flew dozens of meters, and when he crashed on the ground, he had lost consciousness. A single move, just a single move, was enough to eliminate Ye Feng instantly. There was still utter silence in the crowd. Without a doubt, the reason for this instant knockout was due to the fact that Ye Feng was at this weakest moment. When he executed the Devil Encirclement Mystic Art, he controlled mystic qi energy that was ten times more than his own capacity, causing all his energy to be emptied. As such, Yang Dingtian only had to use his 1-star Martial Mystic classs Blazing Violent Saber to knock out Ye Feng instantly. The unconscious Ye Feng had crashed at the feet of Ye Wucheng. The White Cloud City Lord, Ye Wuchengs face twitched, but he hardened his heart as he didnt carry his son and allowed his son to continue lying unconscious on the ground. *** After instantly knocking out Ye Feng, Yang Dingtian sheathed his saber and bowed to Qin Wanchu in the center of the main hall, Shen Lang, May Lord Qin enjoy boundless longevity and achieve greatness. Once Yang Dingtian spoke, everyone looked at Qin Wanchou and waited for his response. If Qin Wanchou had a good attitude, it would mean falling out with the White Cloud City. If Qin Wanchou didnt wish to offend the White Cloud City, he would have to continue treating Yang Dingtian indifferently. Therefore, everyone wanted to see Qin Wanchous attitude. However, Qin Wanchou didnt have any expression at all, as if he didnt hear Yang Dingtian. As such, Yang Dingtian remained in a bowing position motionlessly, causing a complete deadlock. Qin Mengli was in ecstasy earlier, and when she saw this deadlock, she couldnt help but turn anxious. Her beautiful eyes flickered as she immediately came up with an idea, Shen Lang, today is my elder brothers 50th birthday. As my guard commander, do you not have a gift? Qin Menglis words were the same as giving both sides a way to exit this awkward situation and also to give Yang Dingtian a chance to win Qin Wanchous favor. The possibility for her to be together with Yang Dingtian was crucially related to Qin Wanchous attitude. When Yang Dingtian heard Qin Mengli, he was slightly startled. This had allowed everyone to see that Yang Dingtian didnt prepare any gift. But no one despised him. Instead, they were filled with curiosity toward Yang Dingtian. This simply meant that Yang Dingtian didnt have the intention to win Lord Qins favor. Suddenly, Qin Mengli glared at Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian acted as though he realized something and started to search his body. After searching for a moment, he finally retrieved something. He acted as though he didnt have any preparation and was forced to bring out this item. But in fact, Yang Dingtian had already prepared this item for a long time. Agreeing to Ye Fengs challenge, risking his life to defeat Ye Feng. Everything was for this moment. In fact, whether Yang Dingtian could obtain the other half of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flames map from Qin Wanchou, was completely up to this moment. It was completely reliant on this present that he was going to offer as a tribute. This item was very simple but also very strange. Furthermore, no one in the crowd was able to recognize this item. Chapter 242: The Plan to Obtain the Mystic Flame Chapter 242: The Plan to Obtain the Mystic FlameThis item was very simple and also very strange. It was a jade pipe that was as thick as a finger and was stuffed with a bundle of animal hair. No one present recognized what this item was. It was natural that no one recognized this was a writing brush as this world didnt have any writing brush. This item is called a writing brush, and it is something that I use to write and paint. I shall hereby offer it to Lord Qin as your 50th birthday present. Yang Dingtian spoke respectfully. Instantly, almost everyone laughed up their sleeves. Even Qin Wanchou couldnt help but twitch slightly. Everyone here offered extremely valuable gifts, only him, Yang Dingtian, had offered a so-called writing brush. It was truly and extremely unpresentable. This items value wouldnt be more than half a silver coin; it was indeed extremely unpresentable. Seeing that her lover presented such an unpresentable gift after such a long time, Qin Menglis heart was feeling both love and hate, He really is a fool. Immediately after, Qin Mengli said, Shen Lang, your gift is too unpresentable. Furthermore, no one knows what your so-called writing brush is used for. Quickly demonstrate and let everyone see the function of your writing brush. Qin Mengli knew that her lover was brimming with talent; hence, she gave Yang Dingtian the chance to perform. Oh. Understood! Yang Dingtian responded. He then asked the servant in the main hall, I need a piece of white paper. The servant looked towards Qin Wanchou. Give it to him. Qin Wanchou ordered. Yes. The servant went out respectfully and brought back a piece of white paper that was about one square meter after about a minute. Yang Dingtian received the white paper and lay it flat on the ground before taking out a bottle of wine to grind the ink. Of course, this ink block was also personally made by him, and it was fortunate that this item wasnt hard to make. After grinding the ink, Yang Dingtian took a deep breath. The most crucial moment of the performance was here. This moment would decide if Yang Dingtian was able to obtain the other half of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flames map from Qin Wanchou. After allowing the writing brush to soak up the ink, Yang Dingtian started to paint on the white paper. There was complete silence in the crowd as everyone looked at the white paper in front of Yang Dingtian and the writing brush in his hand. With a swish of the brush, there was an irregular curve on the paper. Everyone was astonished and thinking about what exactly this thing was? Immediately after, Yang Dingtian painted at a very fast speed. A horizontal stroke, a vertical stroke, a bending stroke, a turning stroke. In just a few dozens of strokes! Everyone could see the rough scenery of the grassland. Yang Dingtians ink painting emphasized on the spirit and not the form. It might just be a few dozen strokes, but the spacious and borderless grasslands had appeared vividly on the paper. It might not be very lifelike when purely looking at the painting, but it had a distant and extensive feeling that allowed everyone to recognize it was the grasslands with a single glance. This was the charm of the ink painting. There were artists in this world, but everyone sought distinctive works; hence, everyone was meant to serve the martial art, and there was almost no relation to artistic values at all. Yang Dingtians ink painting mastery might not be profound, but the artistic value of the grasslands was enough to subdue anyone. After painting the rough scenery of the grasslands, Yang Dingtian took another few strokes to paint the grass that was blown by the wind. Afterward, in just a few more strokes, he painted a few horses, cows and goats. Of course, it was the horses, cows, and goats of this world. Finally, with another few more strokes, Yang Dingtian painted the distant mountains, the sun, and the moon. Finally, Yang Dingtian wrote a poem at an empty spot, using this worlds wordings to write: In the distant eastern river, there is a lush forest at the foot of the mountain. Heaven is a dome that envelops the wilderness. The sky is vast and hazy, while the wild is vast and obscure. The wind blew on the grass so low that the cows and goats were visible. *** After finishing, some people clicked their tongues instantly. This world didnt have any poems that existed solely for art. Almost everything in this world existed to serve the martial art. After writing this poem, everyone was instantly amazed. They felt that it was good, but they couldnt understand what was good. But at the bottom of their hearts, they felt that it was extremely good and extremely breathtaking. As for Qin Mengli, her beautiful eyes were mesmerized. She knew that her lover was different from everyone in this world, and she knew her lover was brimming with talent, but she didnt think her lover could be so stunning. As compared to Yang Dingtian, Yan Bieqin would look as though he had nothing underneath his good looks. Furthermore, Qin Mengli was even tempted by that man. Right now, Qin Mengli was feeling embarrassed and felt that she was truly shallow at that time. Everyone was amazed and astonished by Yang Dingtians entirely new art form. But no one noticed that Qin Wanchou and Qin Huaiyu had a slight change in expression after seeing this painting and they had swiftly exchanged a glance with one another afterward. Everything was somewhat subtle and fast as no one noticed, not even Yang Dingtian. As soon as Yang Dingtian finished the artwork, he bowed and handed over the art without looking at Qin Wanchou and Qin Huaiyus expression. He didnt dare to look either. Because this painting he had produced had the remarkable resemblance of the other half of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flames map that he had, in fact, there were plenty of other similar things. If Qin Wanchou and Qin Huaiyu were to compare with their half of the Mystic Flames map, they would surely be able to see or at least be able to feel the similarities. These two individuals were undoubtedly outstanding individuals in this world and also one of the most intelligent people. After finishing the painting, Yang Dingtian handed it straight to the servant, along with the writing brush. Because this writing brush was the gift and this painting was just a subsidiary. After handing it over, Yang Dingtian stood still with respect. He might not know if he should be standing here, but his back was bursting with cold sweat, and he was extremely nervous. This was his plan to obtain the other half of the Mystic Flames map. The success would depend on this moment, and this was entirely a risk that involved his life. Right now, he had done everything he was supposed to do. Next, would be to wait for Qin Wanchous judgment. *** When Qin Wanchou received the writing brush and the painting, he glanced at it and immediately concentrated his eyes on Yang Dingtians face for a bit. Yang Dingtian desperately suppressed his anxiety to stop himself from trembling. Despite the case, his cold sweat was bursting with increasing speed. This person in front was a Grandmaster, and it was the strongest enemy that Yang Dingtian had encountered. A single flick of his finger was enough to crush Yang Dingtian. It didnt matter if Yang Dingtian had the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes, and it didnt matter what kind of mystic talisman Yang Dingtian had. Right now, Yang Dingtian was as weak as an insect in front of Qin Wanchou. Qin Wanchou stared at Yang Dingtian coldly while Qin Mengli didnt even dare to let out a large breath. Her absolutely gorgeous face was turned pale, and her expression was getting increasingly terrified. Yang Dingtian desperately controlled his breathing while suppressing his anxiety and fearful emotions. After half a minute later, Qin Wanchou finally spoke. You have great innate talents. I was wondering why you are close to 30 years old but have just broken through to the Martial Mystic class. Right now, I finally know the reason. You have invested all your efforts into such unorthodox things. Qin Wanchou spoke and placed the painting down. He then said indifferently, In the future, you will continue being Qin Menglis guard commander. Immediately after, Qin Wanchou spoke again, Let the feast continue. Everyone was shocked. What exactly did Qin Wanchou mean with this attitude? It seemed like Qin Wanchou had alienated Yang Dingtian but also seemed to have valued him. But, Qin Wanchou was todays supreme host, and when he mentioned for the feast to continue, everyone instantly raised their cups and continued to drink and enjoy the delicacies. Yang Dingtian walked behind Qin Mengli and continued assuming the role of her guard commander. The White Cloud City Lord, Ye Wuchengs expression changed a little as he said, Senior Qin, I am weak with alcohol, and Im rather drunk. I wish to leave and rest. S~?a??h the Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. It was obvious that Ye Wucheng wasnt happy with Qin Wanchous attitude. City Lord Ye, please do as you like. Qin Wanchou spoke indifferently. Ye Wucheng suddenly carried Ye Feng, who was on the ground and left without a second thought. While Ye Wuzheng continued to remain in his seat with a dull expression as his face had lost all emotions. Yang Dingtian stood behind Qin Mengli. He might be expressionless, but his mind was in a whirl. What exactly was Qin Wanchous attitude? Was my plan considered a success or not? Only Qin Mengli was delighted, and her beautiful face was filled with pride. She spoke pleasantly to win her elder brothers favor, but her speech had never once stopped mentioning Shen Lang. She still wished for her elder brother to approve of her relationship with her lover. Qin Wanchous expression still had impatience and doting love, but he was also half-hearted and using the pampering love to deal with Qin Mengli. Purely from this, Qin Wanchou was truly an admirable elder brother. Yang Dingtian had a slightly better understanding of this person. He was a clever person but didnt wish to conceal his own emotions. He was an ambitious and ruthless person that was filled with sentiments. *** Two hours later, the feast had ended. Until the moment Qin Mengli boarded the carriage, Yang Dingtian didnt get the response that he wanted. Qin Wanchou and Qin Huaiyu didnt ask him to stay either. As for how Yang Dingtian defeated Ye Feng, Qin Wanchou didnt express any suspicion either. Yang Dingtian might be filled with unease and disappointment, but he still had to meticulously protect Qin Mengli and, thus, left the inner city. On the way back to the residence, Qin Mengli finally couldnt bear it anymore. She opened the curtain and spoke delicately, Husband, come in. Yang Dingtian was slightly startled, but he immediately boarded the carriage. As soon as he entered the carriage, Qin Mengli plunged into his embrace and spoke with utmost joy, Baby, you really made me proud today, and I truly love you. I understand my elder brother very well. He might not have said anything, but his heart is filled with admiration towards you. Yang Dingtian laughed, As long as he doesnt stop us, I am already very grateful. He wont. I have already heard the unspoken intention behind his words. He has actually approved our relationship tactfully. It is just that he couldnt say it publicly in front of everyone. Didnt you see that he didnt stop Ye Wucheng from leaving the feast? Qin Mengli spoke in a delicate voice. Chapter 243: Contending Against the Qin Clan’s Father and Son, Obtaining the Map (Part 1) Chapter 243: Contending Against the Qin Clans Father and Son, Obtaining the Map (Part 1)Shen Lang, I am happy, too happy... Qin Mengli couldnt contain the joy in her heart as she constantly repeated. She then gave kisses to Yang Dingtians face nonstop. On the outside of the carriage, all the warriors were pretending as though they were deaf and blind to the events inside the carriage. They remained vigilant and continued the travel sternly. *** After returning to the residence, Yang Dingtian didnt wait too long before someone entered Qin Menglis residence and stated that he wanted to meet with Shen Lang. This person was Lord Qins trusted aide, Qin Kuang. Qin Kuang might have the surname of Qin, but he wasnt a Qin Clans descendant. However, he was Qin Wanchous most trusted individual and held the position of Qin Citys internal affairs chief. Yang Dingtian immediately got up from bed to meet with Qin Kuang. Follow me into the inner city again. The Lord wants to see you. Qin Kuang spoke straight to the point, Do not let anyone else see you. Yang Dingtian revealed an astonished expression and replied, Alright. But I need to inform Madam Qin first. There isnt a need. Qin Kuang said, I will ask someone to inform Madam Qin. After finishing his statement, Qin Kuangs body surged with a powerful energy field. It put down pressure like a tall mountain, making it hard for Yang Dingtian to breathe. This person was a Master class expert! In front of him, purely in terms of energy, Yang Dingtian didnt have any way to resist. Yang Dingtian bowed and said, Yes! Afterward, Yang Dingtian followed behind Qin Kuang and left the residence. He then boarded a black carriage. Subsequently, this black carriage rode towards the inner city without any sound or presence. *** Ten minutes later, Yang Dingtian followed Qin Kuang into the inner city again. Right now, it was almost 1 am in the middle of the night. A few hours earlier, the entire Qin City was brightly lit, and it was bustling with noise. Right now, the inner city was in utter silence; the giant palace was like a monster entrenched in the darkness. There was no noise and no presence, and it was filled with a mysterious and dangerous aura. The current Qin Kuang was like a vulture in darkness. He lowered his head and led the way without any sound, but his body was emitting a terrifying presence. As Yang Dingtian followed him and walked constantly, the inner city was just like a ghost town now. Not even the patrolling warriors could be seen, and there was barely any light. It was as though this place was entirely different from the brightly lit city earlier. He followed Qin Kuang to a secluded man-made lake. The entire man-made lake was about a few hectares in size, and it was tranquil in the darkness of midnight. Qin Kuang stomped down lightly, and the lake water rapidly declined. In a few short minutes, the lake, which was a few hectares large and over ten meters deep, had been emptied. There was a small building in the center of the lake that was around 300 square meters, and candles were burning brightly inside. Qin Kuang followed the steps into this building at the center of the lake. No one would have expected there was a secret room in the lake. Since Qin Wanchou had invited Yang Dingtian to this place, it was obvious he had something very secretive and important he wanted to discuss with Yang Dingtian. Instantly, the lake water emerged again, and the water level gradually rose up. In just over ten minutes, the entire lake was restored to its original appearance. *** Yang Dingtian walked into the small building, which was contained inside the cooling and tranquil lake water. Qin Kuang walked towards the outside and opened the door before saying, You shall enter alone. Afterward, he exited the small building and into the lake water. Currently, Yang Dingtian was so nervous that he felt like he was suffocating. It was clear that the most important moment had arrived, it was also the most dangerous moment. This moment would decide whether Yang Dingtian could obtain the other half of the Mystic Flames map. If he succeeded, he would have the complete Mystic Flames map. If he failed, he would be dead. Yang Dingtian opened the door a little wider before walking inside. There were two individuals inside, Qin Wanchou and Qin Huaiyu. Shen Lang, do you know why you are asked to come here? Qin Huaiyu asked. Yang Dingtian shook his head. Qin Huaiyu asked again, After you defeated Ye Feng, why did you choose to draw this painting as a gift to my father? s?a??h th? ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Subsequently, he took out the East Parting Grasslands painting that was gifted by Yang Dingtian and laid it out. Yang Dingtian said, Due to the sudden request, and because I didnt have anything prepared, I felt that this was already the best and the most impressive gift I could offer. Where is this place in your painting? Qin Huaiyu questioned. East Parting Grasslands. Yang Dingtian said. Have you been there? Qin Huaiyu asked again. Yes, around four years ago. Yang Dingtian said and started to arrange the words in his mind. He was rearranging the story of him entering the East Parting Grassland and inspecting it to make sure it was flawless. But before Qin Huaiyu could ask about the East Parting Grasslands, Qin Wanchou suddenly asked, Who is your Master? Saber Monarch, Xi Ying! Yang Dingtian replied. It is him? Qin Huaiyu was slightly astonished. Saber Monarch Xi Ying was indeed a very mysterious and very famous person. In fact, he was a legendary figure in this world. In the Primal Chaos World, all experts at the Martial Ancestor class and above came from a prestigious major faction. All Martial Mystic class individuals came from a faction or aristocratic clan. It also meant that for wandering martial artists, no matter how high their innate talents were, they would only be able to cultivate the Great Mystic Martial Master class at most. They wouldnt be able to go any further. But, Saber Monarch Xi Ying was an exception. He didnt originate from any faction or aristocratic clan; he was purely a wandering warrior. But he had ultimately become a Master class expert. His Wind Wave Evil Saber had brought fear to the entire world with just the news of it. No wonder, no wonder... Qin Wanchou commented. Qin Wanchou immediately asked again, When you defeated Ye Feng at the end, his final mystic skill was truly formidable. It contained the energy of a 9-star Martial Ancestor. With your cultivation, it should be impossible for you to withstand it. Yang Dingtians heart thumped suddenly. Without a doubt, the truly fatal question had arrived, and it was todays true highlight. If Yang Dingtian werent able to give a logical explanation, it would be hard for him to walk out alive. But if he could offer a reasonable explanation, it would make the obtaining of the Mystic Flames map much easier! Yang Dingtian instantly sank into temporary silence. Why? Is it not convenient for you to say? Qin Wanchou asked indifferently. His tone might sound insipid, but his eyes were rather dangerous. That isnt the case. Yang Dingtian replied. Qin Wanchou stated, Then do say it. Yang Dingtian gritted his teeth and said, Ye Fengs final move wasnt something taught by the Mystic Heaven Sect Patriarch, Zhu Qingzhu at all. It was an Evil Daos technique, the Devil Encirclement Mystic Art. Once this statement was out, Qin Huaiyu was slightly alarmed as he looked at Yang Dingtian with lightning speed. Of course, Qin Huaiyu knew that Ye Feng was using the Devil Encirclement Mystic Art, he was surprised because Yang Dingtian actually knew. This was a secret that only a few individuals would know! Chapter 244: Contending Against the Qin Clan’s Father and Son, Obtaining the Map (Part 2) Chapter 244: Contending Against the Qin Clans Father and Son, Obtaining the Map (Part 2)Of course, Qin Huaiyu knew that Ye Feng was using the Devil Encirclement Mystic Art, he was surprised because Yang Dingtian knew about it too. At that time, many of the audience could see that Ye Fengs final move wasnt a good kind, in fact, it was related to the Evil Dao. But there were less than four or five individuals who knew it was the Devil Encirclement Mystic Art. Qin Huaiyu didnt expect Yang Dingtian to know it. Qin Huaiyu suddenly asked, There are only a handful of individuals who know of this Devil Encirclement Mystic Art. Why do you know it, and how did you neutralize it? Yang Dingtian said, My master had shocked the world when he reached the Master class with the status of a wandering martial artist 17 years ago. Furthermore, he was only 47 years old back then. Everyone believed that in another ten years, my master would become a Grandmaster. But no one expected that shortly after, my master had disappeared completely from the vision of everyone in this world, causing huge confusion. Thats right. Qin Wanchou said, If I calculate it, your master is actually my senior. I have also once especially went over to visit him, but he had already vanished without a trace. Until now, I have considered this truly regrettable. Yang Dingtian said, Actually, my master didnt willingly withdraw from this world back then, it was because he had suffered serious injuries. Lord Qin might have heard of this that my master was the banished disciple of Dugu Jianmen. He might have an extreme personality and treated the disciples from prestigious factions with disdain; he ultimately treated himself as a member of the Heaven Dao Union in his heart and completely viewed evil with a vengeance. During those years, when Heaven Dao Union members encountered Evil Dao members, their attitudes were rather ambiguous, but my master was very extreme. As soon as he would encounter an Evil Dao disciple, he would kill without mercy. Thus, countless Evil Dao members have fallen by the hands of my master. Qin Wanchou commented, That is right. I have heard about it too. Yang Dingtian carried on, Seventeen years ago, my master encountered an Evil Dao woman who was around 30 years old and already had the cultivation of a Martial Supreme class. Without hesitation, my master pursued her for thousands of miles. He felt that this woman had brilliant innate talents, and in the future, she would surely be a scourge for the Heaven Dao Union. That Evil Dao woman begged in every possible method and was unsuccessful with her seduction. Without any other method left to try, she executed the Devil Encirclement Mystic Art, causing her cultivation to instantly rise from the Martial Supreme class to the Master class. But despite the case, she still died under the saber of my master. However, my master was also injured because of it and had nearly lost his life. Back then, I just happened to suffer misfortune and was wandering everywhere. I unintentionally encountered my master and dragged him for dozens of miles, taking care of him for half a year. When speaking until this part, Yang Dingtians eyes were slightly reddened, and his breath was getting erratic. Master might have kept his life, but he had lost nearly all of his cultivation, and his entire bodys mystic meridians had been ruined. Without any hopes of recovery, it made him discouraged. As a result, my master chose to live in seclusion and shun the world. My innate talents might not be considered good, but my master didnt have any other choice and had to pick me as his successor. Yang Dingtians eyes were filled with tears as he said, However, I wasnt very interested in the martial arts, and even though my innate talents werent bad, I was already 27 years old, and even if master nurtured me with everything, I was merely able to break through to the Martial Mystic class. Yang Dingtian was currently playing the role of the 27-year-old Shen Lang. It was already considered incredible to reach the Martial Mystic class at this age, but it was nothing in the eyes of Qin Huaiyu and Qin Wanchou. Hence, when Yang Dingtian was talking, they didnt have any reaction and continued waiting for Yang Dingtian to explain further. The Devil Encirclement Mystic Art ruined everything that belonged to my master; therefore, for the rest of his time, he had been researching this evil technique. He had come up with plenty of solutions but was confident with none of them. During the martial contest with Ye Feng, I didnt have any time to prepare my thoughts when he executed the Devil Encirclement Mystic Art. Thus, I picked the most logical neutralization method that master had mentioned. Yang Dingtian continued saying, Lord Qin, you surely knew that this Devil Encirclement Mystic Arts principle is to use a very mysterious and powerful technique to create a temporary qi vessel that revolves at rapid speed. The faster this temporary qi vessel revolves, the more mystic qi it could engulf and condense. Hence, my master suggested that we could also create a similar mystic qi energy form that also revolves rapidly. This way, when the energy form clashes with that temporary qi vessel, it would cause mutual disturbance and destruction while absorbing each other at the same time. When Yang Dingtian finished his statement, Qin Wanchous eyebrows instantly spread out. Originally, I didnt expect it to succeed truly. Actually, I had a doubt that I might die from trying it as well. Yang Dingtian said. Qin Huaiyu asked, Then isnt your masters method another version of the Devil Encirclement Mystic Art? Yang Dingtian shook his head and said, It isnt the same. Master tried it plenty of times. When we create the rapidly revolving mystic qi energy form, it cant engulf or condense the mystic qi. Although our energy form is revolving at a speed that is faster than the Devil Encirclement Mystic Arts temporary qi vessel. In regards to this point, my master wasnt able to solve it until the end. Everything that Yang Dingtian said was basically 80% factual. Among his explanations, the disappearance of the Saber Monarch, Xi Ying was true. But the encounter of the Evil Dao woman who used the Devil Encirclement Mystic Art was fake. Dongfang Niemie encountered her and had killed her. The battles situation was rather dangerous back then, but that woman wasnt able to cause much harm to Dongfang Niemie. The neutralization method of the Devil Encirclement Mystic Art that Yang Dingtian mentioned wasnt entirely baseless either. Dongfang Niemie thought of this method a long time before coming up with it. Previously, Dongfang Niemie felt that this method was definitely going to work, but in reality, it was a mistake. But purely in terms of theory, it was enough to convince anyone. Hence, Yang Dingtians explanation could be said to be completely flawless. After listening to Yang Dingtians explanation, Qin Wanchou and Qin Huaiye fell silent. A few minutes later, Qin Huaiyu broke the silence and asked, Did you go to the East Parting Grassland before? Yes, it was a few years ago. Yang Dingtian replied. Why did you go there? Humans and the half-human race are entirely different. Almost no one would go to the East Parting Grassland. Qin Huaiyu asked. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, I have mentioned that I do not have a great interest in martial arts. My dream is to wander the world and unearth this worlds deepest secrets, with the ultimate goal to save the world. Qin Wanchous eyes flashed as he looked over, You feel that this world will be in danger? Yes. Yang Dingtian said, I can faintly feel that this world is going to face the change of world extinction soon. Qin Huaiyu asked, Are you intentionally voicing exaggerated words of crisis? Of course not. Yang Dingtian explained, In this millennium, why do the battles of world extinction happen every few centuries? How did Heaven Dao Union win every battle of world extinction, but the victories are never thorough? What exactly is the Hidden Sect? What relationship do they have with the Shrine of Ten Thousand Extermination? These are the things of my lifelong pursuit. Qin Wanchou looked deeply at Yang Dingtian and said, You feel that a world extinction is arriving. What is your basis? Yang Dingtian said, In the Icebound Continent, thousands of miles in the north. Tens of millions of the Maori Barbarian Tribe has completely vanished. They have evaporated from this world without a reason or cause. Qin Wanchou didnt continue investigating this question and asked something else, You have visited the East Parting Grassland. What is the attitude the Half-Human Race has towards the Humans? Yang Dingtian replied, The Half-Human Races are roughly divided into four kinds of communities. The first kind has extreme hostility towards human civilization and wishes to exterminate the Humans. Among them, the Wolfman Race is the leader. The second kind admires human civilization and desires to get closer to Humans. But harbor resentment and fear at the same time. They are represented by the Foxman Race. The third kind doesnt want to do anything with the so-called human civilization and wants to isolate from human civilization completely. There are many races in this community, and there isnt a prominent representative. The final kind is the Tigerman Race, Lionman Race. These races are leaning towards being wild and free. They are actually more demonic beasts than Humans. Without a doubt, Yang Dingtian had done ample homework on this topic. Qin Wanchou asked, In that painting that you drew during the feast. Which exact location is it on the East Parting Grassland? The highlight had arrived, and it was a crucial moment. Yang Dingtian shook his head, Apologies, I do not remember the exact location of this place. Perhaps it is simply an incomplete place. It is just a summary of my deepest impression of the East Parting Grassland. I used the mountains in the north, the water in the west, the cows and goats in the south, and combined them into a painting. This is a kind of artwork. En. After hearing Yang Dingtians explanation, Qin Wanchou took a deep breath and closed his eyes gradually. The decisive moment was about to arrive, and Yang Dingtian could feel the stifling sensation. This moment would determine if he could obtain the other half of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flames map. Qin Wanchou opened his eyes and nodded to Qin Huaiyu. Qin Huaiyu took off a ring on his hand and poured in some mystic qi. Instantly, the entire ring melted and revealed a transparent crystal within. He then crushed the crystal and retrieved a small cloth from it. After taking a look at this cloth, Qin Huaiyu handed it to Yang Dingtian and said, Take a look. Where exactly is this place on the map? All of a sudden, Yang Dingtians breathing got sluggish. This is the other half of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flames map. I have gone through all the trouble and nearly lost my life. Right now, the other half of the map has finally appeared in front of me. Whether he could become stronger, whether he could forge the true soul sword, whether he could cultivate a sword soul, whether he could take back the Cloud Heaven City Lords position, even whether he could defeat Dongfang Bingling four... It was all entirely up to this little piece of a map. S?a?ch* Th? N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. You seem to be very nervous? Qin Huaiyu suddenly asked and pierced Yang Dingtian with his eyes. Yang Dingtian had immediately entered a dangerous moment. If he were to arouse Qin Huaiyus suspicion, he would get killed in an instant. The closer one was about to complete the task, the tougher it was. Right now, Yang Dingtian was just one step away to obtain the other half of the Mystic Flames map. But this was also the most important step that he must execute flawlessly; otherwise, everything he had done previously would be in vain, and he would have to die without leaving a corpse behind. Chapter 245: Map in Possession! Life or Death? Chapter 245: Map in Possession! Life or Death?The closer one was about to complete the task, the tougher it was. Right now, Yang Dingtian was just one step away to obtain the other half of the Mystic Flames map. But this was also the most important step that he must execute flawlessly; otherwise, everything he had done previously would be in vain, and he would have to die without leaving a corpse behind. Can I not look, Lord Qin? Yang Dingtian suddenly asked. Oh? Qin Huaiyu asked, Why would you say that? Yang Dingtian said, I can see that this map is extremely important. If I see it, I dont think I can leave this place alive. You will surely kill me to silence me, right? Qin Huaiyu didnt answer; he simply handed the Mystic Flames map to Yang Dingtian and said, Look! Yang Dingtian revealed a miserable smile and sighed towards the air before saying, Alright, I will look. Afterward, he slowly opened up the scroll of the map. Thats right; this was the other half of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flames map. The material of the cloth was exactly the same as Yang Dingtians other half. Furthermore, the wordings and diagrams were a complete match. Finally, Yang Dingtian used all his strength and effort to open up the second half of this map. *** Yang Dingtian was desperately trying to contain his excitement and emotions. He had squinted his eyes to carefully look at every diagram and every wording on this map. Yang Dingtian wasnt the only person looking, Dongfang Niemies divine sense was also looking from Yang Dingtians mind. In just a few scans, Yang Dingtian was able to accurately remember the second half of this map in his mind without any error. Because the only thing he could do was to remember the map in his mind, it would be a lunatics dream to steal this map from Qin Wanchou and Qin Huaiyu and escape unscathed. Hence, he had no choice but to remember the map in his mind. Do you know the location of the place as depicted on this map? Qin Huaiyu asked. Yang Dingtian looked for a while longer and lifted his head, This doesnt seem like a complete map? That is right. Qin Huaiyu replied, This is merely one-half of the map. Purely based on this half map, can you tell where this place is? Apologies, this map is too crude. Yang Dingtian said, There are truly too many similar landscapes. Moreover, this map doesnt have the name of this place at all. On the contrary, the wordings on it are true. But even some wordings are in half, and these wordings should form a poem. I feel that it is truly too difficult to make an accurate guess with the available information. Qin Huaiyu replied, We only have this half of the map. Just purely based on this half of the map. If you do not have to bear any responsibility and just rely on your senses and impression, where exactly do you think this place is on the map? Just relying on my senses? Without any evidence? Yang Dingtian asked. Qin Huaiyu responded, Thats right. Without any evidence. Yang Dingtian said, It should be the extreme north of the East Parting Grassland, the Celestial Red Sea. Qin Huaiyus eyebrows shivered while he asked, Celestial Red Sea? What is that place? It is a sea that is 10,000 meters above sea level. It is roughly 200 miles in perimeter, and the water there is red in color. When a person jumps down the sea, that person wont sink in, even if a rock were to be thrown in it, it would still float on the surface of the sea. Yang Dingtian then said, In addition, that place is a completely forbidden zone for life. There are nearly no traces of life from two hundred miles away from the Celestial Red Sea. This red seas water is cold when touched, but if any living being were to sink in, they would be cooked thoroughly in an instant! Oh? So mystical? Qin Huaiyu commented. Thats right. Yang Dingtian said, Back then, I was attracted to this place and had walked for a few thousand miles. I went through hardships and danger just to reach this place. Afterward, I stayed on the coast for three days. In just three days, my mystic meridians were inflicted with permanent damage. What else? Qin Huaiyu asked. Yang Dingtian thought for a moment and shook his head, Nothing else. I have said everything I know. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian handed the map back to Qin Huaiyu. Qin Huaiyu received and laughed while asking a question, Arent you curious what exactly is the thing on this map? What kind of cardinal treasure is it? Yang Dingtian smiled before his face turned stern and said, Young Lord Qin, you can threaten me, kill me, but can you not mock me? Qin Huaiyu was startled, Apologies. Yang Dingtian looked at the duo and asked, Should I be on my way? Qin Huaiyu nodded and said, Yes, do you have any last wishes? I will surely complete it for you. Yang Dingtian pondered for a moment and shook his head, The thing I wish to do is something you cannot do nor complete. Hence, do not worry about it. Qin Huaiyus eyes twitched before he asked, Dont you love my aunt very much? Dont you have anything to inform her? Is there a need? Yang Dingtian said, You people might constantly be hurting her, but you people are also one of the people that love her the most in the world too. After finishing his statement, Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, Since I have to die, can I make a request? Say it. Qin Huaiyu replied. After you kill me, make this small building in the water into my resting place. Yang Dingtian requested. Sure! Qin Huaiyu replied firmly. Yang Dingtian nodded and walked in front of Qin Huaiyu. He grabbed Qin Huaiyus hand and placed it on his heart and said slowly, Make your move. At the same moment, Yang Dingtian bit on his teeth gently and broke the holy water bead in his mouth, allowing the holy water to flow into his stomach. Yang Dingtian had prepared this holy water bead for a very long time. It was a gamble on his life. Back at the Five Elements Hall Secret Realm, after the demon woman Dugu Fengwu struck at his heart with an all-out palm attack, Yang Dingtian had survived because of the holy water. Right now, because Yang Dingtian had the holy water, he was betting that Qin Huaiyus palm strike wouldnt be able to kill him. Of course, this gamble with his life was too terrifying and too dangerous, but Yang Dingtian had no other choice. Since Yang Dingtian arrived in this world, he had constantly been dancing on the tip of blades. Qin Huaiyu looked at Yang Dingtians face and couldnt help but shift his gaze away before saying, My apologies, Brother Shen! After finishing his statement, Qin Huaiyus absolutely powerful mystic qi was about to burst out. Wait... All of a sudden, Qin Wanchou yelled out. Qin Huaiyu looked at his father with confusion and quickly stopped. Qin Huaiyu looked at Yang Dingtian and asked, You have traveled the world. Where else have you been to? Many, many places. Yang Dingtian replied. Have you been to all of the prestigious major factions of the Heaven Dao Union? Qin Wanchou asked. S?a??h th? N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. All of them. Yang Dingtian said. Evil Daos factions? Qin Wanchou asked again. I have been to many of them too. Yang Dingtian answered. Qin Wanchou looked at Yang Dingtian with passionate eyes, Then do you feel any difference between my Qin City and the other famed factions? Yang Dingtian didnt know why Qin Wanchou was asking these questions. But he knew that his answer would determine his life and death. Hence, he had to give the best answer that would go straight into Qin Wanchous heart. If this were the case, he might not have to risk his life and could simply escape alive. Chapter 246: Escape! Convince Qin Wanchou! Chapter 246: Escape! Convince Qin Wanchou!Then, do you feel any difference between my Qin City and the other famed factions? Qin Wanchous eyes were burning with passion as he asked again. Totally different. Yang Dingtian said, Even the Mystic Heaven Sect and the Yin Yang Sect are just factions in the martial world. But Qin City is more like a nation. The Mystic Heaven Sects master, Zhu Qingzhu, is the current No.1 expert in the world, but he is still just a Sect Patriarch. But you, Qin Wanchou, you are the Lord of a nation. Of course, nation and Lord are words that you might not understand as they are the words created by me. Qin Wanchous eyes trembled as he asked, Explain the meaning of nation and Lord. Nation? It will be too complicated to explain. But in short, it is a hierarchy and order that goes from top to bottom. A single individual manages a hundred individuals; a hundred individuals manage ten thousand individuals; ten thousand individuals manage one million individuals; one million individuals manage a hundred million individuals. As a Lord, you are that one individual who is mighty and supreme, and the one and only individual. Yang Dingtian explained. Qin Wanchous eyes were burning, Con... Continue talking. The striving, the weak, the strong, all the factions shall all be exterminated at the end. Gather all the resources and martial power into the hands of the Lord for him to be redistributed while eliminating 90% of the martial artists in this world. Gather all the martial forces into a single military army that would become the Lords strongest and only tool for violence in this world. Let the majority of this world to participate in construction and production instead of cultivation. Gradually prohibiting martial arts and supporting the development of art, literature, production skills, and many other things. Do away with the current feudal system, territory control, and bring all the mountains, rivers, and land into the hands of the Lord. Using 100 miles as a county, 300 to 500 miles as a region, 1,000 to 2,000 miles as a province. The Lord shall dispatch officials to manage the various counties, regions, and provinces. In short, all these things are very complicated and complex; it is impossible to explain everything in detail. At this moment, Qin Wanchous entire body was trembling because he felt that Yang Dingtians every word seemed to be drilling deep into his heart, and every statement would cause a strong resonation. In fact, there were many things in his mind where he only had a rough direction but was unable to see it clearly. After hearing Yang Dingtians explanations, everything had gotten very clear and distinct. What else, what else? Qin Wanchou asked in a trembling voice. The Heaven Dao Union has already become the biggest obstacle in this world. They might still be required currently, but they are an organization that needs to be completely suppressed. Yang Dingtians words were like a thunderbolt that struck Qin Wanchous heart. Suppressing and eliminating the Heaven Dao Union. This was something that no one dared to say, but it was Qin Wanchous greatest aspiration. As long as the Heaven Dao Union existed, even if his faction surpassed the Mystic Heaven Sect and the Yin Yang Sect, his faction would still be under those two factions, let alone the Hidden Sect. Then what does Teacher Shen feel I should do to achieve what you mentioned? To eliminate the Heaven Dao Union, to establish my own nation, and to stand at the pinnacle of the world? Qin Wanchou asked. Please forgive me from speaking bluntly. If a battle of world extinction doesnt happen, all these goals will only be the moon inside the well, and the flower in the water reflection. Yang Dingtian said, If you wish to eliminate the majority of the martial factions in this world, a battle of world extinction needs to happen to exterminate all the martial artists in this world. If the Mystic Heaven Sect and the Yin Yang Sect continue to exist, you will never be able to surpass them either. In this world where martial power rules supreme, even if the Qin Citys territory is ten times bigger than the Mystic Heaven Sect, the Qin City still isnt a match for them. Please forgive me for asking... Qin Huaiyu asked, If the battle of world extinction occurred, our Qin City would also suffer a calamity, and we would not have the strength to suppress the other factions. It would already be praiseworthy for us to survive and protect ourselves. Yang Dingtian said, Hence, the next segment is the most crucial part. If this strategy succeeds, once the battle of world extinction has ended, Qin Citys strength will be able to suppress the entire Heaven Dao Unions combined forces. Qin Wanchous breathes started to get coarse as he asked, What strategy? To form a race alliance with the Half-Human Races, to support them, and even inter-race marriages. Yang Dingtian continued, As everyone knows, for the millennium, during the world extinction battles between the Heaven Dao Union and the Evil Dao, the Half-Human Race has remained neutral; hence, the flames of war have never affected them. But they have separated themselves into hundreds of races and had constant conflicts. They have never been united; hence, they have never been a threat to Humans. The most important point is that all factions have treated the Half-Human Race as a taboo and never had the idea to form an alliance. If Qin City is willing to take this step, there will surely be great rewards. Immediately after, Yang Dingtian stated, Lord Qin is mighty, talented, and has great intelligence, I am truly filled with admirations towards you. But to be truthful, your current strategy is a big mistake. You have used all your strength to conquer the Northwest Continent and the Southwest Continent. Apart from arousing the vigilance of the Heaven Dao Union, what else has that achieved? It is simply a show of power on the surface. I will only ask you one question, even after conquering the Northwest and Southwest Continents, can you defeat the Yin Yang Sect and the Mystic Heaven Sect? Qin Wanchou thought for a moment and replied, I cannot. Before my martial strength surpasses Zhu Qingzhu, it is absolutely impossible. Even in terms of reputation, it is still not possible. Yang Dingtian asked, Then Ill ask you another question. If a battle of world extinction happens, can the Southwest Continent and the Northwest Continent be preserved? Qin Wanchou shook his head and said, They cant be preserved. After experiencing a battle of world extinction, the entire Southwest Continent would fall, so the most of the Northwest Continent. On the contrary, the Eastern Cloud Prefecture would suffer next to nothing at all. Then, things are clear. Yang Dingtian said, If the battle of world extinction happens, is there any meaning to invest all your efforts onto territories that are destined to fall? It should be of utmost importance to invest everything in establishing absolute power after the battle of world extinction has ended. Huff... Qin Wanchou desperately let out a breath and spoke with a trembling voice, Bosom friend, Teacher Shen is truly my bosom friend. Yang Dingtian laughed and said, Alright, I have finished saying everything. I should be on my way. In fact, I will end it myself. Yang Dingtian suddenly drew his dagger and stabbed towards his chest. NOO... All of a sudden, Qin Wanchou rushed over in a flash and reached out to catch hold of Yang Dingtians dagger. Immediately, the razor-sharp dagger sliced open Qin Wanchous palm and was dripping with blood. Heavens! How was it possible for a mere dagger to hurt Qin Wanchou, who was a Grandmaster? He was simply trying to move Yang Dingtian emotionally and had created this dripping blood effect. Will Teacher Shen please stay to help me? Qin Wanchou bowed. Ah... Yang Dingtian was completely stunned. This was entirely outside of his plan. To be honest, the huge chunk of words that Yang Dingtian said earlier wasnt to escape as he already had a plan to escape. His words earlier were simply improvisation, and his objective was to make Qin Wanchou shift his eyes off Cloud Heaven City. He wanted Qin Wanchou to focus on the Half-Human Race alliance instead of the Northwest and Southwest Continents. The best outcome would be for Qin Wanchou to send Yang Dingtian as a representative of the Northwest Qin City to visit the East Parting Grassland. Yang Dingtian could make use of the pretext of investigating the Half-Human Race and form an alliance, but in fact, he was searching for the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame. He didnt expect that his improvised words would gain respect from Qin Wanchou. Yang Dingtian said, But, I already know too much. It isnt appropriate for me to live, right? Qin Wanchou grabbed Yang Dingtians hand and said, As compared to Teacher Shens talents, what are all those things worth? To be honest, not even my son can understand my ambition. There isnt a single person like Teacher Shen, who has such a grand vision. This world is ruled with martial power, but there isnt someone as talented as Teacher Shen within the thousands of miles. I have been expecting someone like Teacher Shen, like a drought waiting for the rain. Yang Dingtian continued to be stunned. Qin Wanchou continued to speak intimately, Next, will Teacher Shen never leave me, please. I will appoint you as my teacher and a friend. It doesnt matter what, as long as you say it, I will do my best to achieve it. Yang Dingtian was still stunned. Qin Wanchou carried on, Huaiyu come over and pay your respects to your teacher. Qin Huaiyu was also shocked. Qin Wanchou responded with anger, What are you standing idly there for? Hurry up and come over to pay your respects to Teacher Shen. Qin Huaiyu quickly went over and bowed deeply, Qin Huaiyu pays his respects to Teacher Shen. Kneel down. Qin Wanchou said. Qin Huaiyu was stunned and was about to kneel. Absolutely not. Yang Dingtian quickly supported Qin Huaiyu to stand and said to Qin Wanchou, Lord Qin, to avoid Young Lord from hating me, you must not do so. Sigh... Qin Wanchou immediately sighed and patted on Yang Dingtians back, Teacher Shen, even my son cant understand my ambition. Once he understands, he will surely kneel down to you. You are my one and only bosom friend. Qin Wanchou then spoke sternly, Qin Huaiyu, in the future, apart from practicing martial arts, you will have to spend time and effort to study under Teacher Shen. You have to learn strategy, politics, and tactics. Yang Dingtian was truly and utterly stunned! He merely wanted to escape, why did it become like this? Yang Dingtian planned to make use of the holy water to feign death and escape when there was an opportunity a few days later. He didnt expect this outcome. Not only did he not need to feign death, but he also became the esteemed guest of Qin City. This outcome was really surprising! *** After returning to Qin Menglis residence, Yang Dingtian had a passionate kiss with Qin Mengli first. When Qin Mengli was sleeping soundly, due to the battle of wits and courage with Qin Wanchou and Qin Huaiyu, Yang Dingtian was exhausted, but he was still unable to sleep. His mind had never been this sober before. S?a??h th? n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. His mind was currently filled with a distinct and complete map that included the poem on it too: The scorching sun is blazing; the great snow is swirling. Sweat is dripping; breath is turning into ice. Water is boiling like oil; a hundred miles are bound in ice. When I blossom, the world shall thaw. All of the secrets of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame were in this poem. Thats right. It was in this poem. It was up to Yang Dingtian to solve it! Chapter 247: Comprehending the Mystic Flame Map! Paying Respects to the Military Advisor! Chapter 247: Comprehending the Mystic Flame Map! Paying Respects to the Military Advisor!Of these four crude and straightforward sentences of the poem, the first half of each sentence was written on Qin Huaiyus half of the map, while the latter half of the sentence was written on Yang Dingtians half of the map. Apart from the last word in each half, every first half and latter half of the sentence were entirely opposite. Hence, if a person only possessed half of the Mystic Flame map, it was useless. Only by putting them together would anyone be able to make any sense out of it. Putting aside the poem and looking purely at the map, this map was even cruder than the poem, and it looked very casual. One could see a few mountains on the map, a few patches of water, and the rest of the map were grasslands. The only useful information was the tall mountain at the center. The left part of the mountain was entirely red, while the right side was icy blue. The left side of the map belonged to Qin Huaiyu while the right side of the map belonged to Yang Dingtian. The most fraudulent thing was that Yang Dingtian would never know this was a mountain unless the two halves of the map were placed together. Previously, he had noticed that his half of the map had a blue triangle with straight lines. He initially thought it was a sharp sword or something similar. After combining the maps together, he found out it was a mountain. It was a very strange mountain. Half of the mountain was fire, while the other half was ice. But the stranger it was, the more distinctive it was, making it easier to find the place. If this mountain were so special, the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame might be inside this mountain. Master, you have been to the East Parting Grassland. Do you know of any mountain that is half fire and half ice? Yang Dingtian asked. Dongfang Niemie replied, I have never seen it. Ah? Yang Dingtian was rather stunned as he said, A bizarre mountain like this should be rather famous. It should be the case. But when I visited the East Parting Grassland, I didnt see it. Dongfang Niemie stated. Yang Dingtian asked, Could it be that the Master didnt visit many places in the East Parting Grassland, which is why you didnt see this mountain before? Dongfang Niemie replied, That doesnt seem to be the case either. This map might be very crude, but I do have the vague feeling that I have visited this place before. S?a?ch* Th? ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. You went there before? Yang Dingtian was pleasantly surprised, Where is this place on the map? Dongfang Niemie said, It is just a rough impression. According to the positions of the mountains and lakes, I have an estimated conclusion. If I didnt remember it wrongly, this place should be the Burial Land. Yang Dingtian was very surprised as he asked, There is the Burial Land located in the East Parting Grassland? In the most central part. Dongfang Niemie answered. Does this Burial Land belong to any of the Half-Human Races territory? Yang Dingtian asked while thinking it would be best if it were the Foxman Races territory, as Jier Ashina was from the Foxman Race. It doesnt belong to any. Dongfang Niemie explained, The entire Burial Land stretches over 500 miles, and it doesnt belong to any race. It is the central battlefield of the East Parting Grassland; hence, it is named as Burial Land. Stretches over 500 miles? It is rather massive. Yang Dingtian asked, Master, the Burial Land really doesnt have any mountain that is half fire and half ice? There really isnt any. Dongfang Niemie replied firmly. How can that be possible? How am I supposed to find it? That place is stretching over 500 miles... Dongfang Niemie laughed, Master might not know, but it doesnt mean that the Half-Human Races in the East Parting Grassland dont know either. According to the location on the map, it should be in the central part of the Burial Land and shouldnt be hard to find. As long as we go there, we should be able to find it. Thats right. If Yang Dingtian could reach that place, he would be able to find it. Furthermore, Qin Huaiyu only had half of the Mystic Flames map, making it impossible for him to find it, but Yang Dingtian was able to do it. With the complete Mystic Flame map, Yang Dingtian didnt believe that he couldnt find that Mystic Flame. The next important task was to find a way to escape from Qin City. Yang Dingtian had to depart from Qin City without arousing Qin Wanchou or anyone elses suspicion and head for the East Parting Grassland. *** For the next few days, Yang Dingtian had felt Qin Wanchous resolution and passion even more prominently. On the next day, Qin Wanchou had gathered all the important figures of Qin City. These people were either high ranking officials inside Qin City or the feudal lords in Qin Citys territories. There were close to 1,000 individuals gathered in the main hall, and they were here for Qin Wanchou to introduce Shen Lang to them. Furthermore, Qin Wanchou had announced that Shen Lang would take on the role of Qin Citys Military Advisor from today onwards. This astonished everyone, while Qin Mengli was surprised and delighted. It wasnt only the case; for the next few days, Qin Wanchou had spent most of his time having long and intimate conversations with Yang Dingtian. Qin Mengli was worried, so she had forcefully joined the conversation. Qin Mengli overheard the entirely different things during the conversation between her elder brother and her lover; in fact, some theories were totally unknown to this world. In response, Qin Mengli was even more intoxicated towards Yang Dingtian and was filled with more admiration and worship. But due to Qin Menglis involvement, Mahjong, Go, and Chinese Chess had started to become popular in Qin City. After Qin Wanchou played the games and heard that Yang Dingtian designed them, he was instantly even more impressed by Yang Dingtian. But Yang Dingtian was rather surprised as this Qin Wanchou could be considered to be the man with the best strategic mind in the world, but be it Go or Chinese Chess, his standard was rather ordinary. Even after he was familiar with the games, he still wasnt a match for Qin Mengli, not even Yang Dingtian. Be it Chinese Chess or Go, he would basically lose nine out of ten games. On the contrary, Qin Huaiyus chess skills were astonishingly high and were completely beyond expectations. After getting slightly familiar with the games, Qin Huaiyu no longer had any opponents. Be it Yang Dingtian or Qin Mengli, they were both instantly defeated. *** In short, when Yang Dingtian was impersonating Shen Lang during this period of time, he was the hottest topic in the entire Qin City and had received countless views of jealousy. It was rather manageable at the beginning, but soon enough, many of the direct descendants in Qin City came to provoke Yang Dingtian repeatedly. Yang Dingtian didnt pay any attention, but Qin Mengli didnt allow Yang Dingtian to suffer like this. Hence, she went to reprimand them repeatedly. As a result, these Qin Citys descendants went to complain to Qin Wanchou. In the end, Qin Wanchou flew into a terrible rage and punished all of the direct descendants that provoked Yang Dingtian. He had even evicted two of the leading figures from Qin City. Since then, no one else from Qin City dared to offend Yang Dingtian openly. But these direct descendants instigated Qin Jiaojiao to provoke Yang Dingtian. Qin Jiaojiao was an unkind and pampered lady. She was rude and unreasonable too, and after she was instigated by someone, she had tried to find trouble multiple times. Yang Dingtian had avoided it every time until she finally walked into Qin Menglis residence to find trouble. The result was Qin Wanchou giving her a harsh slap to the face and sending Qin Jiaojiao to fly over a dozen meters. She vomited fresh blood, and half her delicate face had instantly swelled up, causing her to be so frightened that she didnt even dare to cry. At that moment, Yang Dingtian had truly felt overwhelmed with favor. Since then, be it openly or secretly, no one dared to offend Yang Dingtian anymore. Chapter 248: Attempt to Leave Qin City! Chapter 248: Attempt to Leave Qin City!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Since then, be it openly or secretly, no one dared to offend Yang Dingtian anymore. Normally, such days should be very free and unfettered while being able to enjoy great authority without any obligation. But Yang Dingtian felt that he was sitting on a pinned cushion. The most crucial thing was that time was being wasted day by day. The date for the martial contest for the Cloud Heaven City Lords position was getting closer and closer. However, Yang Dingtian had not obtained the Mystic Flame yet, making him truly anxious. As such, Yang Dingtian had already proposed that he wanted to leave Qin City and continue to wander the world plenty of times, but every time, the proposal was rejected by Qin Wanchou. Furthermore, with every rejection, Qin Wanchou would issue harsh punishments to those people who had once offended Yang Dingtian. Hence, whenever Yang Dingtian asked to leave, it would bring about a blood-dripping punishment. As a result, Yang Dingtian was actually unable to leave Qin City and was trapped in this place because he was regarded with importance. Moreover, unless absolutely necessary, Yang Dingtian couldnt secretly leave without a farewell. In fact, he wasnt able to leave at all as Qin City was filled with jealous individuals. To protect Yang Dingtians safety, Qin Wanchou had arranged personal guards for him, both of whom were Martial Supreme class experts. *** On this day, Yang Dingtian met with Qin Wanchou again and expressed his intention to leave. Qin Wanchou spoke loudly, Military Advisor, are you that uncomfortable staying in my Qin City? What exactly am I not considerate enough that makes you unable to stay? Previously, Yang Dingtian would always say something like: My Lord is treating me very well, but my nature and mission is to wander. But it had never succeeded. At this moment, Qin Wanchou had asked this question again. Yang Dingtian sighed and said, I have achieved nothing in Qin City. The better my Lord treats me, the more uncomfortable Ill feel. For the past few days, each day passed like it was a year. Qin Wanchou replied, You wish to do something? That is easy, do you wish to train the soldiers? Or work in internal affairs? Or do you wish to manage a piece of territory? Everything can be arranged. It doesnt matter which position you would wish to do, I will allow you to do it. Yang Dingtian said, I cant do all those things. The only thing I am adept at is to wander the world. My Lord had also agreed to my strategy that I have proposed previously, to put the focus on the Half-Human Races, to support the alliance, to conceal power and to rise rapidly after the battle of world extinction. Therefore, I feel that the most suitable thing for me to do is to revisit the Half-Human Races territories to conduct an observation. To analyze the classification of the hundreds of Half-Human Races, to determine which Half-Human Races should be extinguished, which Half-Human Races to support, and which Half-Human Races to have inter-race marriages. This task is no small matter, and I am the only person suitable to do it. Yang Dingtian had finally spoken of this matter. He didnt mention it previously as he was afraid he might arouse Qin Wanchous suspicion. But now, Yang Dingtian was at wits end and could only use this method to escape. Moreover, it just so happened that he wanted to search for the Mystic Flame at the East Parting Grassland. During this time, Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Niemie had analyzed the entire Mystic Flames map inside his mind. They had also analyzed that poem countless times and were already certain of the rough location of the Mystic Flame. The geographical location had been shrunk down just one or two hundred miles. What Yang Dingtian had to do now was to enter the area and use any method to find the Mystic Flame. After listening to Yang Dingtian, Qin Wanchou didnt immediately refuse like the previous occasions. Instead, he was immersed in deep thoughts. A few minutes later, Qin Wanchou said, Teacher Shen, do not be in a hurry first. This isnt a small matter. Please give me a few days to consider. I will give Teacher Shen a reply within five days. Yes, my Lord. Yang Dingtian bowed respectfully. Afterward, Yang Dingtian returned to Qin Menglis residence. For the next few days, he didnt exit the residence and had spent most of his time cultivating. A small portion of his time would be spent intimately with Qin Mengli. As for the rest of the time he was alone, he would be conversing with his Master, relying on his Masters memory of the East Parting Grassland to be more certain of the actual location of the Mystic Flame. But Dongfang Niemie had visited the East Parting Grasslands over ten years ago, and he had traveled across thousands of miles of the East Parting Grassland. Hence, his memories of certain locations were very limited. Therefore, after having a rough estimation of the Mystic Flame, he wasnt able to make it more accurate. The only method was for Yang Dingtian to personally visit the Burial Land and to search through every place within the area. But Yang Dingtian was still considered rather fortunate as the Burial Land was considered an uninhabited region in the East Parting Grassland. Since it was a neutral battlefield, none of the races were residing in that place. Otherwise, if the Wolfman Race, Tigerman Race, or the Leopardman Race had that place as their territory, Yang Dingtian would be immediately torn to pieces upon entry. As such, Yang Dingtian was even more urgent and looking forward to visiting the East Parting Grassland. Thus, while Yang Dingtian waited for Qin Wanchous reply, he couldnt help but become increasingly anxious. S?a??h th? n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. After the second day, the third day, the fourth day, until the fifth day, Qin Wanchou didnt respond. It was until the evening of the fifth day that Qin Wanchou finally sent someone over. *** Teacher Shen, do you wish to visit the East Parting Grassland? Upon meeting Yang Dingtian, this was Qin Wanchous first question. Yes, my Lord. Yang Dingtian replied. Teacher Shen, do you know why I have been stopping you from leaving Qin City? Qin Wanchou asked again. I do not know. Yang Dingtian replied. Because I am unwilling to let go of talent like you. Qin Wanchou said, There are plenty of talents in this world, in fact, there isnt a lack of talents, but almost all of them had put their talents on cultivating martial skills, with you as the exception. I can see that your innate talents are better than my son, Qin Huaiyu, perhaps even not inferior to me. Furthermore, your Master is Saber Monarch, Xi Ying. According to your current age, your supposed cultivation should be Martial Ancestor or even Martial Supreme class. However, you are merely a 1-star Martial Mystic. It is evident that you have placed your experiences and your talents into other aspects, and those are the aspects that I require. If I miss out on you, I might not be able to find a second individual just like you. Yang Dingtian responded, My Lord... Firstly, I am definitely not as outstanding as you mentioned. Secondly, I have already told you everything I know. My mind has nothing else that is valuable to you. That is definitely not the case. Qin Wanchou asked, Teacher Shen, do you know why I insist that you stay by my side? I do not. Yang Dingtian replied. Teacher Shen is an expert in grand strategies and grand foresight while lacking a little in specific tasks, but this is great wisdom. Qin Wanchou said, I want you by my side because when I am facing important and grand decisions, I might be at a loss, and I wouldnt know which choice is the correct choice. If I chose wrongly, the foundation of Qin City might be ruined. That is why I need you by my side during those kinds of moments, to use your great wisdom to assist me in making the most important decisions. Therefore, I might only need to consult you once every five or ten years, but each time, it would be utterly important as it might change the fate of Qin City. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, My Lord, I didnt think that you value me that highly. But I can only say that I am a person that must not idle around. I need to be constantly on the move and constantly doing something. Only by doing so, will I be able to maintain my vision and mind. Once I stop to enjoy a peaceful and luxurious life, Ill be crippled. I understand. Qin Wanchou nodded and said, It is fine for you to visit the East Parting Grassland, but you have to agree to one condition. Please say. Yang Dingtian said. Get married to Ah Li and become Qin Citys son-in-law. Qin Wanchou stated. (NOTE: Ah Li is an intimate way for Qin Wanchou to address Qin Mengli.) Ah?! Yang Dingtian instantly exclaimed. Why? Are you unwilling? Do you dislike Ah Li? Qin Wanchou asked. Of course not. Yang Dingtian replied, This is something I yearn for in my dreams. But now isnt the time to sever relationships with the White Cloud City, right? Qin Wanchou said coldly, What is White Cloud City? They are just a declined faction that uses powerful connections to intimidate others. I wanted to monopolize the entire Northwest and Southwest Continents previously, and not to show my bad manners, I had no choice but to raise White Cloud Citys value. It was to avoid having the Heaven Dao Union feeling that my Northwest Qin City is trying to rule everything alone. Otherwise, what value does that White Cloud City have? They are even weaker than the Cloud Heaven City. Now that I have focused my strategies towards the outside, I do not care that I have to sever relations with the White Cloud City. But doing so will offend the Mystic Heaven Sect, and the losses might be more than the gains. Yang Dingtian said. What nonsense is the White Cloud City in the eyes of Zhu Qingzhu? Qin Wanchou said, Dongfang Niemie is no longer around. Right now, Zhu Qingzhus entire vision is onto the Yin Yang Sect. Excluding the Hidden Sect, there are only two and a half Grandmasters. Before consuming the Yin Yang Sect, Zhu Qingzhu would rather cooperate with me than to confront me. Before Yang Dingtian could say anything else, Qin Wanchou said, Alright, there isnt a need to say anything else. If you wish to leave Qin City and head to East Parting Grassland, you must marry Ah Li. Otherwise, you will stay here obediently and dont even think about leaving. Qin Wanchou had revealed his tyrant side, and this wave of his hand was something that no one could stop. Yang Dingtian bowed deeply and said, Since my Lord doesnt care about the matters of the White Cloud City, why should I refuse this fine arrangement? *** Although Qin Wanchous 50th birthday was already two weeks ago, most of the guests had not left yet. Because one month later, it would be the wedding of Qin Citys Fourth Young Lady and Ye Feng. Since the dates were so near, some of the people were simply disinclined to return and chose to stay for a month in Qin City for the wedding. But it was very obvious that Ye Feng and Qin Citys Fourth Young Ladys wedding wasnt going to be as lively as Qin Wanchous 50th birthday. The guests that attended the wedding wouldnt be as influential as well. On the day of the martial contest between Ye Feng and Yang Dingtian, Ye Feng had suffered serious injuries, but in the end, Yang Dingtian had shown mercy; hence, Ye Fengs life wasnt in danger. But to kill Yang Dingtian, he had executed the Devil Encirclement Mystic Art. Because his weak mystic meridians were forcefully controlling powerful mystic qi energy, his mystic meridians were severely damaged. Therefore, in this lifetime, he might never be able to break through the Martial Supreme class. But because of some reasons, Qin Wanchou didnt break off the marriage and fulfilled the engagement. He had still betrothed his fourth daughter to Ye Feng. On the next morning, Qin Wanchou gathered all the important guests and members of Qin City. He declared to everyone that Qin Mengli was to separate from Ye Wuzheng officially. This news had caused such a huge shock and a drastic change of expressions, and even Qin Huaiyu was filled with surprise. Chapter 249: Shen Lang’s Grand Wedding! Chapter 249: Shen Langs Grand Wedding!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales This news had given everyone a shock, to the point that their complexion had gone through massive changes. Even Qin Huaiyu was also filled with astonishment. Subsequently, Qin Wanchou declared that he was officially betrothing Qin Mengli to Qin Citys military advisor, Shen Lang as his wife, and the wedding would take place three days later. This news had shocked everyone to the point that they were rendered speechless. What was going on? Is the Qin City and White Cloud City going to break off relations with one another just like that? White Cloud City Lord Ye Wucheng and Qin Menglis current husband Ye Wuzheng were currently present in the hall. When White Cloud City Lord, Ye Wucheng, heard Qin Wanchous words, his complexion changed as he revealed a disbelief expression. Meanwhile, Ye Wuzhengs face instantly turned white. After the shock, his face withered dejectedly. However, what went beyond Yang Dingtians expectation was that the White Cloud City Lord, Ye Wucheng, had actually walked out from the crowd and yelled out after experiencing a short span of shock, As everyone knows that Ye Wuzheng and Young Lady Qin Mengli didnt have feelings for each other. They only stayed together due to the relationship between Qin City and White Cloud City. However, Lord Qin and I have been best friends for years, why would we need to be related by marriage just to maintain our friendship? Furthermore, I also feel that Military Advisor Shen Lang and Young Lady Qin Mengli would suit each other really well. Therefore, I had discussed it over with brother Qin yesterday and had decided to separate Ye Wuzheng and Qin Mengli just so that Military Advisor Shen Lang and Young Lady Qin could have a perfect marriage. During then, brother Qin was still rejecting the proposal. However, I flared up. Thus, he agreed to this wonderful event. Subsequently, Ye Wuchengs gaze fell onto Yang Dingtian, Military Advisor Shen Lang, now that youre going to marry the beauty, you must never forget that Im your matchmaker. Currently, Yang Dingtian was in full admiration of White Cloud City Lords acting. It was very clear that Qin Wanchou did not discuss this over with him before when he declared his decision. That was why he was so astonished just now. But immediately after, he had used the smartest way to salvage the situation and had stated that this matter was his own decision. If Yang Dingtian had no idea of the truth, he might perhaps be deceived by his acting. At least, Ye Wuzheng was deceived. Currently, he looked towards his elder brother with a gaze filled with confusion and hatred. However, Ye Wuchengs expression had also allowed him to understand the false bravado of White Cloud City. Just like what Qin Wanchou had said, Ye Wucheng was even more afraid of breaking off relations with the Qin City. Although Ye Wucheng had gifted her sister to Lord Zhu Qingzhu to be his concubine and Ye Feng had kept on addressing Lord Zhu Qingzhu as his uncle, the White Cloud City was still merely using powerful connections to intimidate others. Lord Zhu Qing would never place Ye Wucheng in his eyes at all. Therefore, Ye Wuchengs expression was so angry during that birthday celebration when Qin Mengli had brought Yang Dingtian into the hall openly and intimately. Meanwhile, Qin Wanchous current action was a huge humiliation to Ye Wucheng. Yet, he smiled and accepted it. Not only did he not fall out, on the contrary, he even chose to accept this matter peacefully with Qin Wanchou.Update by vip novel The gaze Qin Wanchou looked at Ye Wucheng flashed past a hint of disdain and mockery. Subsequently, he spoke to Shen Lang, Military Advisor, shouldnt you go and thank Lord Wucheng? Yang Dingtian had also joined in the play happily. He walked towards Ye Wucheng and bowed, Shen Lang thanks Lord Wucheng for giving us his blessing. Good, good. Ye Wucheng replied. Even though Wuzheng and Young Lady Mengli had parted ways, Brother Wanchou and I are still relatives by marriage. Therefore, you and I are also a family. Ye Feng is not sensible and has offended you previously. But from today onwards, youre his elder. He is not sensible and might need you to disciple him. Brother Wanchou, dont you agree? When Ye Wucheng spoke, he looked towards Qin Wanchou. It was very clear that Qin Wanchou had caught him unprepared today. He was scared witless. He was unable to confirm that Qin Wanchou was merely granting Qin Mengli and Shen Lang together. Or perhaps, was he trying to break off all relations with White Cloud City. Therefore, he had spoken out to probe him. If they were going to break off all relations with them, the Fourth Young Lady Qin and Ye Fengs marriage would also be nullified completely. When Qin Wanchou heard Ye Wuchengs probe, he replied, Thats right. Military Advisor Shen is extremely knowledgeable. Furthermore, he is going to be Ye Fengs uncle in the future. Ye Feng would be able to consult him for times to come. Ye Wucheng could finally loosen up after hearing Qin Wanchous affirmed answer. It only then did everyone present at the scene manage to react from the astonishment. Subsequently, they went forward to congratulate Yang Dingtian. ... Three days later, Qin City was brightly lit once again. Similarly, it was at the center of the main hall. A large scale banquet was organized there once again. S?a??h th? ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. However, the main protagonists for this banquet had become Yang Dingtian and Qin Mengli! The occasion wasnt as big as Qin Wanchous birthday celebration, and the number of people of importance wasnt as many as the birthday celebration as well. Third Lady Gongsun, otherwise known as Dugu Fengwu, and Dongfang Bingling were not around. They had left Qin City after Qin Wanchous birthday celebration. The departure of Dugu Fengwu had left Yang Dingtian flabbergasted. Could this beautiful woman not recognize Yang Dingtian? It was impossible. Previously when he was on the pirate ship that was heading towards the Northwest Continent, he had also dressed himself up in disguise. However, Dugu Fengwu was able to recognize him after a short while. But if she had recognized Yang Dingtian, why didnt she show any reaction to it? Yang Dingtian was baffled. But currently, it was not the time to be haggled over by this matter. Currently, Qin Wanchou had personally led Yang Dingtian and Qin Mengli around to propose a toast. Of course, it wasnt done table to table because there were more than several hundreds of tables in the hall alone. He wouldnt be able to toast even if he did it till the next day. He could only select dozens of them. Although Yang Dingtian was proposing the toast, his heart had already floated elsewhere. This world was truly too preposterous. Yang Dingtian had never once expected that his first wedding in this world would be with Qin Wanchous sister. Meanwhile, his real wife, Ximen Yanyan, did not even have a real wedding ceremony with him. Even though this wedding ceremony was a fake one, Yang Dingtian was still filled with remorse towards Yanyan. He decided that after he had obtained victory over the City Lord Grand Martial Duel, he would definitely organize a real wedding ceremony for Yanyan. Niece Ning Rouer wishes aunt and uncle to be in love with each other forever and live a happy and blissful life. Just when he was wandering in his own thoughts, Yang Dingtian heard a familiar voice. He lifted his head and saw Ning Rouers stunning and gentle face. Currently, she had lifted her wine cup in smiles as she gave her blessing to Qin Mengli and Yang Dingtian. Beside her, Little Ning Ning, who was donned in jade accessories and fine powder on her face, sat on Qin Huaiyus lap as she wore a happy expression. Yang Dingtian had noticed that the current Ning Rouer was also filled with a face of happiness. It was completely different from the haggard and uneasy Ning Rouer previously. Previously, Qin Huaiyu was filled with rapacious designs for Yanyan. And originally, Yang Dingtian thought that even if Ning Rouer would return to Qin Huaiyu side, she would at most be his lover or concubine. Unexpectedly, Qin Huaiyu had actually regarded her as his wife. Regardless of whether it was Qin Wanchous birthday celebration or was it Qin Menglis wedding, he had brought Ning Rouer with him to attend it. Chapter 250: Leaving For East Parting Grassland! Chapter 250: Leaving For East Parting Grassland!Perhaps, there was an error in his understanding of Qin Huaiyu. Many thanks. Yang Dingtian moved his thoughts. However, his actions didnt move accordingly. He glanced at Ning Rouers beautiful face and revealed a breathtaking expression. Subsequently, he placed his sight onto the cute and beautifully make-up Little Ning Ning. In fact, Yang Dingtian had no idea that Qin Mengli had been looking at him while he was proposing a toast to Ning Rouer. Since Ning Rouer was too beautiful, it had caused Qin Mengli to be somewhat jealous of her. Therefore, she was somewhat afraid that her lover would reveal an enchanting look when he saw Ning Rouer. However, Yang Dingtians reaction had caused her to grow even fond of him. When he saw Ning Rouer he had revealed a breathtaking expression which indicated that he wasnt hypocritical. However, he changed his gaze to Little Ning Ning very quickly, which indicated that he didnt hold any dirty thoughts. On the contrary, a cute and beautiful girl attracted him even more. Of course, all these were the subconscious reactions of Qin Menglis. Tonight, her stunning face was filled with happiness and would never care about all these. Just like that, Qin Mengli followed Yang Dingtian adorably as they proposed toasts to tables after tables. Her stunning complexion seemed as if she had grown a few years younger because of the happiness radiance surrounding it. It was as if she were a bride who was 20 years old. *** Husband, I really feel like Im dreaming. Qin Mengli laid onto Yang Dingtians body and spoke delicately. The wedding ceremony came to an end at around 11 pm. However, they didnt return to their courtyard. Rather, they headed into the inner castle because Qin Wanchou had picked the most sumptuous building for them to be their new house. After getting intimate with each other, Qin Mengli wasnt willing to sleep. Rather, she continued to speak to Yang Dingtian intimately. When Yang Dingtian heard her words, he didnt speak. Instead, he patted her back lightly. Husband, when are you going to leave? Qin Mengli inquired. Originally, Yang Dingtian wanted to reply by tomorrow. However, when he saw the pair of infatuating eyes on Qin Mengli, his heart turned soft, I will leave after accompanying you for three days. Once he left, it could be seen as a parting from Qin Mengli with Shen Langs identity. Naturally, this was an extremely cruel matter to her. Then, will you still return in the future? Qin Mengli inquired suddenly. Yang Dingtian was slightly startled immediately. He had no idea why Qin Mengli would say such words. Qin Mengli placed her face onto Yang Dingtians chest and continued softly, Husband, if a woman truly loves a man, they would be able to hear the things hidden deep within the mans heart. The meaning of this sentence was extremely complex. However, Yang Dingtian believed her words. When a woman had wholeheartedly given her heart to a man, the woman would be able to sense a bit of loophole no matter how well the man had concealed it. Perhaps, a loophole wasnt the appropriate word. It should be something amiss. Of course, when Qin Mengli spoke such words, she didnt suspect Yang Dingtians identity. Rather, she felt that Yang Dingtian wanted to leave Qin City as soon as possible. Furthermore, she felt that he would never return again. Perhaps, she had sensed even more. Immediately, Yang Dingtian looked into Qin Menglis pair of eyes and replied seriously, Ill return. I promise. Qin Mengli kissed on his chest, Husband, I dont care why you are doing this or what you are going to do. However, Im very clear that your heart is filled with affection and remorse for me. Perhaps, you are unable to sense it. However, for these past few days, Im already able to sense this factor clearly. Im already satisfied with it... Yang Dingtian was stunned speechless. I dont care who exactly you are and wouldnt care if your actions are falsified. I only know that you have given me limitless happiness. Qin Mengli continued. Yang Dingtian continued to remain silent. However, he hugged Qin Mengli even closer. Loving each other was really the greatest enemy in disguise. Previously Yang Dingtian had always felt that his performance was near perfect, and Qin Mengli wouldnt have any suspicion of him. In fact, she had never expressed any suspicion. Rather, she grew even more attached and infatuated to him. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian felt that his chest had already turned warm and moist. This was because of Qin Menglis tears. Yang Dingtian lifted her face and looked at her beautiful face. He replied solemnly, Ah Li, I will come back and see you. Understand? Although it had similar words, it contained a heavy promise within. Qin Mengli lifted her face and gave a smile to Yang Dingtian, Really? Really. Yang Dingtian replied. Everyone had to be responsible for their actions and feelings. Therefore, I will definitely return. Qin Mengli wiped off her tears and smiled, Husband, regardless of what happened, I will always be Shen Langs wife. Ill wait for your return. Yang Dingtian hugged her and kissed her on the forehead. S?a??h th? n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. *** Three days later, Yang Dingtian left the Qin City under Qin Wanchous reluctant farewell and Qin Menglis infatuated gaze as he advanced towards the East Parting Grassland that was thousands of miles away. He was not alone in this journey but also three bodyguards that were sent by Qin Wanchou. All of them were Martial Supreme class experts. Qin Wanchou said that these three only had a mission, and that was to protect Yang Dingtian. They would never meddle with his affairs and would guarantee to obey all of his orders. Other than the three of them, there was also another person following Yang Dingtian. There was the little Foxman Race girl he had saved, Jier Ashina. Although the name East Parting Grassland contained the direction East, but it was actually located at the Northwest side of the Northwest Continent. This might sound very awkward, but it was the truth. The Northwest Continent was already relatively near to the west. However, the East Parting Grassland was even deeper into the west. Compared to Earth, the Primal Chaos Continent was excessively huge. The extreme west of the Northwest Continent was the Boundless Ocean, and it was thousands of miles long. At the extreme west of the ocean, there was a desolated and uninhabited continent. This land was also close to ten thousand miles in width. There were no traces of life there because it was either the desert, scorched Earth, burning rocks, or magma that was thousands of miles long. In short, this piece of land was a forbidden region for any life. Therefore, it was called the Taboo Continent. At the west side of Taboo Continent, was the extremely mysterious and terror-stricken Infernal Sea. The Evil Daos underworld armies had appeared in the Infernal Sea several times and launched their extermination battles. The west side of the Infernal Sea was the legendary edge of the world. However, everyone had only heard of this place before, but no one had ever been there. Even the formidable Dongfang Niemie had merely gone 3,000 miles deep into the Taboo Continent and not been to the Infernal Sea at all. The East Parting Grassland was at the north side of Taboo Continent and was separated by several thousand Death Territorial waters in the center. No boats were able to pass through the Death Territorial waters before. All the boats that tried passing through were all devoured away. It was as if there were an incomparably huge black hole at the bottom of the territorial water. Not only was the north side, but Death Territorial waters also covered the south side of the Taboo Continent. Therefore, it was impossible to detour around the Taboo Continent and head towards the Infernal Sea. It was a must to pass through the Taboo Continent to arrive at the Infernal Sea. However, as the forbidden region of all living creatures, no one had ever managed to go past the Taboo Continent. Thus, even though everyone from the Heaven Dao Union knew that the Infernal Sea was where the Evil Dao headquarters were and were where the Shrine of Ten Thousand Extermination was, no one was truly able to reach there and eliminate them. *** Yang Dingtian brought them and journeyed for 3,000 over miles before reaching the edge of the Northwest Continent. They needed to sail for another 7,000 miles in the Northwest direction through the ocean before reaching the East Parting Continent. That was right. It was the East Parting Continent and not the East Parting Grassland. To reach the East Parting Grassland, he needed to cover over 4,000 miles of desert. But in short, when he left the Northwest Continent, it also meant that he had left the land of human civilization. There were a few lands that belonged to the human civilization in the Primal Chaos Continent. Northwest Continent, Southwest Continent, Southern Ten Thousand Island, Northern Land, Eastern Cloud Continent and Northeast Holy Continent. Among them, the Eastern Cloud Continent and Northeast Holy Continent were seen as the essence of human civilization because Yin Yang Sect and Mystic Heaven Sect were located in these two lands, respectively. Not only so, among the Three Sects, Nine Clans and Twenty Seven Branches, five of the clans and thirteen branches were also located in these two lands. Therefore, previously, when Ximen Wuya was around, Cloud Heaven City and Qin City could only dare to battle over the leadership of the Northwest Continent secretly. However, in the eyes of the Eastern Cloud Continent and Northeast Holy Continent, the Northwest Continent was just an uncivilized territory. At the coast of the ocean, there was a fleet of ships waiting for Yang Dingtian long ago. There were a total of four fleets of ships. Other than several hundred sailors, there were also four to five hundred fully armed martial artists. The commander for the fleets was a member of Qin Clan, Qin Duancang. Lord Qin has ordered us to send Military Advisor Shen Lang to East Parting Grassland. After boarding the ship, Qin Duancang came forward to greet him respectfully. Wouldnt we cause the Half-Human Race to misunderstand and guard against us with so many of us heading there? Yang Dingtian commented. Qin Duancang replied, We are only following orders and sending you to the East Parting Continent. After which, we will cruise around the ocean. Every ten days, a ship would return to the Northwest Continent and replenish their supplies. Thats good. Yang Dingtian replied. I will have to trouble Commander Qin for this journey then. My Lord had said that we would have to obey your orders when were on the ship. Qin Duancang replied. Mister Shen must be tired from the journey. We have already prepared the best cabin for you. You can have a rest, and we will start our journey immediately. Yang Dingtian was able to see that although Qin Duancang was extremely polite and respectful to him, his tone still contained a hint of disaffection because he was a member of the Qin Clan. In Qin City, a large number of Qin Clansmen had offended Yang Dingtian and were punished harshly by Qin Wanchou. Therefore, Qin Duancang would never dare to offend Yang Dingtian because of Qin Wanchous order, but he wouldnt get close to Yang Dingtian either. Of course, Qin Duancangs attitude was exactly what Yang Dingtian was looking for. Chapter 251: Arrival At East Parting Continent… Chapter 251: Arrival At East Parting Continent...Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian couldnt help but be astonished by how luxurious his cabin in the commander warship was. This was a ship that was designed to save as much space as possible. On the ship, dozens of people would squeeze inside a cabin. Meanwhile, this room was actually 40 to 50 square meters big. It had soft carpets, golden utensils, a comfortable big-sized bed, sandalwood furniture, and an enormous bathing bucket. Everything that one needed was there in the room. When Yang Dingtian walked in, four delicate and charming maids welcomed him at the doorway. Inside, there was also an even more beautiful girl who was modulating the fragrant tea. The four ladies wore a red silk dress. However, the lady inside the room wore a tight-fit shark diving suit. All of you can head out. I will look for you when I need help. Yang Dingtian commented. Immediately, the beautiful girl who was wearing the diving suit spoke out, Havent you all heard it? All of you can leave the room. Yes. The four ladies immediately stood up and left. Meanwhile, the girl who was wearing the diving suit stayed within the room. She had already modulated the fragrant tea and poured it into a cup. After which, she lifted it and went forward, Master, have some tea. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but be slightly startled when he heard how she addressed him. Im madams adopted daughter. The girl continued, However, you will definitely be unhappy if Im to address you as my godfather. Therefore, I decided to address you as Master. Yang Dingtian nodded his head indifferently and drank the cup of fragrant tea that was on her hand. Subsequently, she helped Yang Dingtian to take a shower. After which, he enjoyed a fine meal before he started reading books under the lights. Alright, you can go out as well. I will be taking a rest after reading the book. Yang Dingtian commented. Yes, Master. The young lady replied. *** Yang Dingtian spent most of the time reading inside the cabin for the following days. For the remaining time, he would head over to the deck to look at the ocean and scenery. He would need to sail for over 20 days since he was close to ten thousand miles away from the East Parting Continent. S?a??h the ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The journey by the sea was undoubtedly dull and tedious. Yang Dingtian had long grown tired of watching the scenery by the deck. Furthermore, all the sailors and martial artists on the ship had maintained a certain distance away from Yang Dingtian. As for the three Martial Supreme class experts who were protecting Yang Dingtian, Yang Dingtian wanted to stay a distance away from them. Therefore, for the time being, Yang Dingtian practically had no one to talk to. Although the young lady that was wearing a diving suit was Qin Menglis adopted daughter, Yang Dingtian did not interact with her too excessively. On the contrary, he spent most of the time being together with the Foxman Race girl, Jier Ashina. The reason was that Yang Dingtian wanted to learn a few more Half-Human Race languages, and it just so happened that this Foxman race girl knew close to ten kinds of Half-Human Race languages. Of course, the main reason wasnt that Yang Dingtian wanted to learn their languages. Rather, it was so he could use it as an indirect approach to inquire about the Burial Land news. With a cautious mind, Yang Dingtian didnt mention the Burial Land on his own initiatives. Instead, he made Jier herself to talk about the matters of Burial Land. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian would pretend to be curious about it and place the core of the chat on the Burial Land. Naturally, Jier had a lot of knowledge about the Burial Land, at least a lot more than his teacher, Dongfang Niemie. Jier had also spoken about the history behind the area as well as the Half-Human Race great war situation that was close to 100 years ago. Unfortunately, Yang Dingtian was still unable to get hold of that crucial information he was looking for. It was especially so for that half blazing and half ice-cold mountain. Jier didnt even mention it. It wasnt because she had purposely omitted it out. Instead, she honestly had no idea about it. Immediately, Yang Dingtian felt strange. The half blazing and half ice-cold mountain was so mysterious. Why his teacher and even Jier who was from the Foxman Race hadnt seen it before? Could this strange mountain really not exist? For the following few days, Yang Dingtian had simply loosened his mental state since he was unable to find out more from Jier. He no longer learned the Half-Human Race language. Instead, he dragged that girl that was wearing the diving suit to join them in playing cards and fight the landlord. This way, the time passes by very quickly. Very quickly, half a month had gone by. There was basically no incident for this half month. However, there was a matter that seemed somewhat strange, and that was when Yang Dingtian slept, there would always be some dreamland coming over to bother him. However, when he woke up, he wouldnt have a clear memory of it, and he felt that it was somewhat related to the Mystic Flame. Furthermore, he was basically getting a similar dream every night. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian felt that this was because Yang Dingtian had attached too much importance in the journey to find the Mystic Flame. Therefore, he would dream of something related to the Mystic Flame during the night. *** Qin Duancang had never appeared again ever since Yang Dingtian had boarded the ship. And finally, he had reappeared before Yang Dingtian once again now. Teacher Shen, we would reach the East Parting Continent in about half a day. You can go ahead and prepare to alight the ship. Qin Duancang continued, Although at the extremity of the East Parting Continent was several thousand miles of desert, and there wouldnt be any Half-Human Race appearing, our ships would not be able to approach the East Parting Continent just in case. We will stop our ships when we are dozens of miles away from it. When the time comes, the few of you would have to dive down the ocean and swim towards the land. Yang Dingtian replied, Sure, its not an issue. Thank you, Teacher Shen, for your understanding. Qin Duancang continued. Our ships would cruise around the surroundings, and we would use the reporting bird to communicate with each other. If you come across any dangerous situation, our army would immediately come ashore. Many thanks. Yang Dingtian thanked. *** Four hours later, the sky had turned dark as well. Currently, they were about 50 miles away from the East Parting Continent. Yang Dingtian, Jier Ashina and three of the Martial Supreme bodyguards were about to alight from the ship and swim towards the East Parting Continent while taking advantage of the night. Although they were still 50 miles away, this didnt pose an issue to Yang Dingtian and much less of a problem to the three Martial Supreme experts. However, Jier was still young, and her cultivation was still weak. Therefore, she needed Yang Dingtian to carry her and swim ashore. COMMENT After diving down the ocean, the first thing Yang Dingtian felt was that the seawater was extremely hot. Correct, the seawater here was actually hot. Regardless of whether it was the Earth or Primal Chaos Continent, the seawater would never turn hot due to hot weather because the surface area of the ocean was simply too big. However, the seawater here was actually burning. Yang Dingtian estimated that the water was about 40 to 50 degrees. It was no surprise that he could no longer see living creatures around. Furthermore, as they drew closer to the East Parting Continent, the seawater temperature grew higher as well. Ultimately, it had unexpectedly reached 70 to 80 degrees. But even so, Yang Dingtian came ashore on an uninhabited beach that held no signs of a living being as he arrived at the East Parting Continent an hour later. *** This was the East Parting Continent. This was a forbidden region for humans. With just a quick glance, Yang Dingtian could see that the place was covered by a limitless red desert. Even though it was night time, the desert still showed a portion of red light. And no surprise, the sand here was scalding hot. Chapter 252: Going through, Beautiful Fox Lady! Chapter 252: Going through, Beautiful Fox Lady!Even though it was night time, the desert still showed a portion of red light. And no surprise, the sand here was all scalding hot. The desert was about several thousand miles long. Therefore, this thousands miles long desert could be counted as a natural division between the Half-Human Race and Human civilization. As before, Yang Dingtian was still carrying Jier as he stepped into the scalding desert with the other three Martial Supreme experts and continued their journey towards the north. Of course, Yang Dingtian had learned the flight skill. Therefore, he was able to fly. However, it would consume a lot of his mystic qi. Thus, Yang Dingtian chose to journey on foot. The five of them advanced as they stepped onto the scalding desert. All five of them were silent, and no one spoke a single word. Although the area was an uninhabited region, this continent was still the Half-Human Race territory. If they were to produce any noise and attract the Half-Human Race, it would bring forth enormous trouble or even a fatal crisis. For 12 hours, the few of them had traveled for only a thousand miles. During daybreak, the few of them started to circulate mystic qi absorption. Subsequently, they dug a deep hole and took a rest within the cave. The reason why they chose to only journey through the night was to avoid the possibility of encountering any Half-Human Race because there would be Half-Human Race army patrolling in this piece of desert. Basically, more than half of the Half-Human Race had a strong hatred towards humans. If they were to be discovered, it would be hard to avoid a fierce battle. The few of them rested inside the cave while they had their meals. They waited till the night before continuing their journey. S?a??h the N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. They journeyed for close to a thousand miles on the second night. For the first night, they didnt come across any traces of the Half-Human Race. However, on the second night, they encountered them three times. Of course, it couldnt be counted as an encounter. In reality, they were about several miles away. However, three of Martial Supreme experts cultivation was extremely formidable and was able to sniff out their aura when they were several miles apart. Subsequently, before the Half-Human Race could manage to discover them, they used their quickest speed and went the opposite direction. Just like this, there was barely any danger for the night. Furthermore, they didnt run into any of the Half-Human Race. On the third day of dawn, they dug another deep cave before heading into cultivation and rest. It was only until the night did they crawl out from the desert cave once again. They continued to walk deep into the East Parting Continent. Furthermore, the few of them became even more careful compared to the previous two nights because they were getting closer to the East Parting Grassland, and the amount of Half-Human Race patrols around here had massively increased. Thus, it was very easy to come across them. During the journey, the five of them didnt interact with each other, so much that they didnt even produce any sound while they walked. This was a soft desert. Therefore, footprints could be left behind very easily. However, Yang Dingtian discovered that the three Martial Supreme class bodyguards did not leave behind any footprints. Their legs had practically bounced back up when it had just slightly touched onto the surface of the desert. Yang Dingtians cultivation had yet to reach this level. However, he didnt leave behind any footprints while journeying on the desert as well. Besides, he was still carrying Jier Ashina. Therefore, these three Martial Supreme class bodyguards had practically not talked or shown any expression to interact with Yang Dingtian for the whole journey. Currently, they couldnt help but reveal a surprised expression. Yang Dingtian practically had no knowledge of these three Martial Supreme class experts and only knew that they were Qin Wanchous iron guards. Their name was Qin San, Qin Liu, and Qin Qi, respectively. Among them, Qin Liu and Qin Qi were probably 2-star Martial Supreme class experts. Qin Sans cultivation was the highest, but he had no idea what the specific cultivation realm he was at. Just like that, the five of them advanced stealthily without any words and communication for the night. More than three hours later, they had traveled for close to 200 miles. They had come across four groups of Half-Human Race patrols in these 200 miles. Among them, the closest one to them was not more than 1,000 miles away. However, they still managed to get past them without any mishap. During the midnight, the amount of Half-Human Race patrols had finally somewhat lessened down. Yang Dingtian and the others were finally able to relax a little. The Foxman Race little girl, Jier Ashina, was a young lady that really liked to talk. But for this period of time, she had kept her mouth shut, making it a challenge for her. While they were traveling, Jier suddenly moved her mouth to Yang Dingtians ear side and spoke, Brother, I need to relieve myself. Yang Dingtian was startled. Subsequently, he placed Jier down. Brother, go there. Jier pointed to a nearby small sand dune. Although it was currently midnight, the sand still carried a hint of red light. Besides, the three Martial Supreme class experts eyesight was terrifying. Thus, Jier was embarrassed to relieve herself nearby. Thus, Yang Dingtian carried Jier and advanced towards the sand dune. Three of the Martial Supreme class experts immediately stopped as they formed a triangle shape and stood guard. Although Jier had whispered it beside Yang Dingtians ear, it couldnt be hidden from three of the Martial Supreme ears. Yang Dingtian arrived at the back of the sand dune and placed Jier down. Subsequently, he turned his back facing her. Brother, Im done. A moment later, Jier commented softly. Yang Dingtian turned around and carried Jier up before walking towards where the three Martial Supreme experts were at. Ah... It was at this moment, a womans cry suddenly resonated out from a distance away. Subsequently, hurried and concentrated footsteps could be heard. Yang Dingtians complexion changed as he glanced face to face with three of the Martial Supreme class experts. Faster. Qin San yelled, Run with your fastest speed. Thus, Yang Dingtian carried Jier and circulated mystic qi as he ran towards the northeast direction rapidly. Those three Martial Supreme class bodyguards linked together with each other as they maintained the triangle shape and protected Yang Dingtian in the middle. Yang Dingtians speed was extremely quick when he put in all his effort to do it. Very quickly, he had left that group of Half-Human Race extremely far behind. Stop... All of a sudden, Qin San yelled out. Yang Dingtian quickly came to a stop as he lifted his head and glanced over. He saw a lump of darkness rushed over like a tide ahead of him as it caused all the sand to fill their surroundings. It was like the wolf rider. Therefore, their speed was extremely quick. At the same time, the concentrated footstep behind Yang Dingtian grew closer as well. He turned around and glanced over. Immediately, he saw a beautiful and enchanting silhouette flying towards his direction while several hundreds of wolf riders were pursuing. This womans speed was extremely quick. In a flash, she arrived before Yang Dingtian. Unexpectedly, this was an extremely beautiful Foxman Race lady. Her figure was sumptuous and was the best of what Yang Dingtian had seen before. Currently, she held onto a nimble bent blade that was covered in gaudy blood. Clearly, she had killed a lot of wolfmen. It was very clear that the wolf riders behind and ahead of him were chasing after this Foxman Race beautiful woman. Currently, Yang Dingtian could finally see clearly how the Wolfman Race looked like. They were extremely tall and had basically exceeded two meters. Furthermore, their figure was exceptionally vigorous and astonishing. As usual, they possessed a human face, but it seemed as if they possessed wolf-like eyes. The shape of their face was extremely wolf-like. Of course, every wolfman was different. Some of the wolfmen seemed more human-like while some wolfman looked more like a wolf. But basically, every wolfmans body would leak out a brutal and savage aura. The Wolfman Race could be said to be one of the most formidable and murderous Half-Human Races. Two groups of wolf riders closed in on them with three to four hundred wolf riders in each group, making them look like a lump of darkness. They had completely surrounded the Foxman Race beauty as well as Yang Dingtian and the others. Jier, do you recognize this sister? Yang Dingtian inquired. Jier shook her head, Nope. Its really strange. Shes so beautiful. Even if I hardly met her in the Foxman Race, I should still be able to recognize her. However, I have never seen her before. Thats good. Yang Dingtian commented, You know the Wolfman Race language. Quickly tell their commander that we are not in any way related to this woman. We will not interfere with their affairs and wouldnt make a move to help her. I hope they could allow us to leave. Jier replied, Sure, brother. Currently, the wolf riders commander came out from the crowd. It was an extremely young wolfman, and he was about 2 meters tall. There was barely any wolf vestige on his face, so much that there were hardly any furs on his cheek. Furthermore, he looked quite handsome. Only his pair of eyes looked even more wolf-like as it was extremely long and sinister. Jier went forward and used the Wolfman Races language to transmit Yang Dingtians message. That wolf riders commander placed his gaze onto Jiers body and immediately revealed a sinister gaze. He extended out his tongue and licked. He pointed at Jier and that Foxman Race beauty and spoke some words before pointing back at Yang Dingtian and the others and spoke another portion of words. After he spoke, Jier petite body trembled slightly. She revealed a terrified and angry expression. Immediately, Yang Dingtian was boiling in anger. During the journey, Yang Dingtian had learned some important Half-Human Race languages from Jier, and Wolfman Race was among them. Although he didnt learn much of it, he was still able to understand some of the words the wolf riders commander had said. Brother, he said that he is capturing the women alive to be female slaves. All the males are to be killed and skinned before being made into clothes. The bones will be used to make chairs, and the skull will be used as urinals. Jier transmitted the message angrily. Yang Dingtians face turned cold. Without a doubt, there were no ways to negotiate with these groups of savage wolfmen. Immediately, Yang Dingtian spoke to that Foxman Race beauty, You and I join hands. Lets slaughter all of these wolfmen. He spoke using the Foxman language and that Foxman Race beauty nodded her head after she heard the suggestion. Slaughter them! Yang Dingtian commanded. Qin San continued to stay beside Yang Dingtian while Qin Liu and Qin Qi drew out their sword and charged over at lightning speed. That Foxman Race beauty had also brandished her bent blade and charged over. Qin Liu and Qin Qi were Martial Supreme class experts. Immediately, they reaped those wolf riders lives like a group of tiger and wolves. This group of wolf riders wasnt weak. The majority of them were above the Great Mystic Martial Master level. It was especially so for the commander. He was an expert above the Martial Ancestor level. However, these four to five hundred wolf riders were like nothing before these two Martial Supreme class experts. Qin Liu and Qin Qi were able to slash a wolf rider into halves with just a wave of their sword. In just half a minute, half of the wolf riders had been slain. The wolf riders commander was astonished. Previously he thought that the few of them were just weaklings when he saw them fleeing away. Therefore, he gave the order to behead them. Unexpectedly, he had provoked such a formidable fearful person. In an instant, they were about to be completely wiped out. Chapter 253: Masscare! Foxman Race’s Princess! Chapter 253: Masscare! Foxman Races Princess!The wolf riders commander was astonished. Previously he thought that they were just weaklings when he saw them fleeing away. Therefore, he gave the order to behead them. Unexpectedly, he had provoked such a formidable fearful person. In an instant, they were about to be completely wiped out. However, the Foxman Race beauty was already surrounded by perils. She probably had yet to reach the Martial Ancestor class. After being surrounded by dozens of wolf riders, it seemed as if she had been injured even though she continued to kill her enemies. Her body was also covered in blood, and her footsteps had started to stagger. At any point in time, she might possibly be in crisis. When the wolf riders commander saw the number of people from his side kept on decreasing rapidly, his gaze immediately landed onto Yang Dingtian. He knew that Yang Dingtian was the leader. Immediately, he pointed at Yang Dingtian and gave the command, Capture him... This group of wolfmen wasnt stupid. They knew the principle of capturing the leader first. Immediately, hundreds of wolf riders charged towards Yang Dingtian crazily. They wanted to capture Yang Dingtian alive as their hostage. Qin Liu and Qin Qi werent bothered by it. As before, they continued to slaughter frantically. They seemed not to pay any attention to these wolf riders that were charging towards Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian narrowed his eyes as he drew out his enormous and formidable Sky Devil Flame Saber hurriedly. The hundreds of wolf riders grew closer. In the blink of an eye, they were already dozens of meters away. The dozens of wolf riders soldier in front produced an uncanny scream. Subsequently, they flung their harness as they were about to throw it over at Yang Dingtian. Qin San revealed a face of disdain. He drew out his sword and suddenly slashed at the void. Bam... Immediately, dazzling white light appeared, and the dozens of wolf riders that were charging in front had been severed into half. Because of the inertia, those dozens of wolf rider soldiers bodies had flown out as their blood splattered out. After killing those dozens of wolf riders, Qin San slashed a few more times towards the void. Even though they were several meters apart, every one of those sword lights killed about a dozen to twenty wolfmen. Immediately, that wolf riders commander was stupefied. Qin Liu and Qin Qi killed like they were slaughtering chickens. Thus, it had frightened him. Therefore, he diverted his attention away and wanted to pick onto their weakness as he charged towards Yang Dingtian. Unexpectedly, Qin San, who was beside Yang Dingtian, was the real killing god. In fact, not just the wolf riders commander was stupefied, even Yang Dingtian as well. Although he knew that among the three bodyguards, Qin Sans cultivation was the highest, he thought that it was slightly a bit higher than them. Unexpectedly, he was actually a lot stronger than Qin Liu and Qin Qi. Qin Liu and Qin Qi killed the wolf riders by entering into the battle themselves. Each slash would bring one down with them. Meanwhile, Qin San was able to slaughter ten of them even though they were dozens of meters away from them just by slashing at the void. How terrifying was this? Furthermore, he was only placed third among the bodyguards. If so, how strong were Qin Er and Qin Yi, and how strong was Qin Wanchou? In just a short period of time, hundreds of wolf riders that were beside the wolf riders commander had almost been fully slaughtered, and the commander was long frightened stiff. Immediately, he turned around and used his fastest speed to flee. He wanted to escape from this killing god. Qin San revealed a cold smile and suddenly slashed at the escaping wolf riders commander. Immediately, that wolf riders commander was slashed into two silently together with his mount. His blood, five viscera, and six bowels instantly splatter on the ground. That commander wasnt even able to scream. Meanwhile, Qin Liu and Qin Qi had almost massacred all of the remaining wolf riders. Yang Dingtian drew out his Sky Devil Flame Saber but didnt even have the chance to make his move. Jier Ashina was slightly trembling while she whispered in Yang Dingtians ear, Brother, hes very strong... Thats right... Yang Dingtian replied. The four to five hundred wolf riders truly deserved it. Yang Dingtian and the others would only journey during the night. They traveled stealthily because they didnt want to invite any trouble. They were afraid of attracting the real experts from the Half-Human Race and destroying Qin Wanchous strategy. Once this group of wolfmen had provoked them, there would only be a conclusion, that was to kill every single one of them. Now, those four to five hundred wolfmen had almost been fully massacred. Qin Liu and Qin Qi were chasing after those remaining wolf rider soldiers. Only thirty to forty wolf riders were surrounding that Foxman Race beauty. s?a??h th? N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. This group of wolfmen was truly rude and unafraid of death. Even though their companions had died, they still had yet to flee. As before, they still continued to attack the Foxman Race beauty. Currently, the body of the Foxman Race beauty was drenched with blood, and the bent blade on her hand had already been badly damaged. Her hair was in a mess, and she was staggering. She was already severely injured. At any point in time, she could possibly die. However, she was also very strong-willed. Although she might meet her death at any point in time, she still clenched onto her jade-like teeth. She didnt have any intention of asking Yang Dingtian and the others to help her. Its just that she would occasionally look at Yang Dingtian with her eyes filled with pity. Brother, save her. Although Jier had no idea who this Foxman Race beauty was, she was still softhearted and couldnt help but speak out. Yang Dingtian ordered, Go and save her. Qin San replied, Yes! Subsequently, Qin San drew out his sword and was about to slash at the void. However, he discovered that wolf riders completely surrounded the Foxman Race beauty. Although Qin Sans sword light was able to kill dozens of wolf riders easily, it would also slash the Foxman Race beauty into two. Hence, Qin San frowned. He glanced towards Qin San and Qin Qi, Move faster. Quickly come back and protect Teacher Shen. Qin San was extremely cautious. Although there were no longer any enemies around, he still got Qin Liu and Qin Qi over to protect Yang Dingtian. Yes, third grandpa. Qin Liu and Qin Qi replied. Subsequently, they increased their speed and killed the last wolf riders before rushing over to Yang Dingtians side. Meanwhile, that Foxman Race beauty was already in imminent peril. Qin San shot out like lightning and charged towards the remaining dozen wolf rider soldiers. Immediately, his silhouette was like a demon while his sword was like the wind. In an instant, he had killed dozens of wolf riders soldiers that were besieging the Foxman Race beauty. After slaughtering them, Qin San turned around and walked towards Yang Dingtian without bothering the Foxman Race beauty. Many thanks. That Foxman Race beauty bowed as she gave her gratitude. No need. Qin San continued. Stay away from us. The further, the better. That Foxman Race beauty didnt leave. On the contrary, she followed behind Qin San and walked over as she spoke to Yang Dingtian, Thank you for saving me. Youre welcome. Yang Dingtian replied nonchalantly. After that, the Foxman Race beauty glanced towards Jier Ashina, who was on Yang Dingtians back. She was slightly startled. After which, she looked back at Yang Dingtian, Human warriors, my father is one of the village leaders within the Foxman Race tribe. Recently, there has been a group of people that were constantly attacking and plundering our Foxman Race beautiful girls. To capture them, I have taken the initiative to be a bait and attract them out. Subsequently, I will conduct a thousand miles hunt. That group of people is extremely crafty, and I kept on chasing after them to the depths of the desert. When I had killed the last wolfman criminal, that wolfman had unexpectedly combusted his own body to release a signal. Thus, those wolfmen patrols within several hundred miles came over to pursue me. If it werent because I have encountered you, the human warriors, I would have definitely died. Yang Dingtian replied, Youre welcome. Goodbye. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian and three of the Martial Supreme class experts were about to take their leave. Please wait. So many of the Wolfman Race had died. There would be more wolf riders chasing over. Can I request for you to protect me back to my tribe? My father will definitely thank you generously. The Foxman Race beauty inquired. Yang Dingtian shook his head, We dont need that. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian continued to walk forward. Wait... That Foxman Race beauty cried out, Theres definitely a purpose for you humans to come over to the East Parting Grassland. I will be able to help you, regardless of what youre doing. Yang Dingtian thought for a moment before glancing at Qin San. The Lord has given the order for the three of us to obey all of your commands. Qin San replied. Yang Dingtian truly had an important matter that needed the Foxman Race beauty before him to lend a hand in. So much that even after entering the depths of East Parting Grassland and getting into the Burial Lands. Alright. You can follow us. Yang Dingtian replied. The Foxman Race beauty immediately turned happy and replied, Thank you! Subsequently, Yang Dingtian treated her wounds. Furthermore, he even gave her a pill before continuing their journey. Previously, they were extremely cautious and prudent. They didnt dare to speak and leave behind any footprints. But after getting into a massacre, they grew more relaxed. They had only used their fastest speed to hasten the journey. Because they had just killed four to five hundred wolf riders and once these corpses would be discovered, there would certainly be limitless wolf riders hunting them down. Chapter 254: The Final Whereabouts of the Mystic Flame! Chapter 254: The Final Whereabouts of the Mystic Flame!Because they had just killed four to five hundred wolf riders and once these corpses would be discovered, there would undoubtedly be limitless wolf riders hunting them down. The three Martial Supreme experts might be formidable, but the Wolfman Race was one of the most powerful Half-Human Races. Furthermore, their race didnt have a lack of experts; hence, Yang Dingtian and the others had to rush back to the Foxman Races territory before the Wolfman Race discovered the corpses of the wolf riders. *** My name is Xiangxiang Beila, what is yours? When they were rushing along, the Foxman Races beauty asked Yang Dingtian. Shen Lang. Yang Dingtian replied. Xiangxiang Beila asked, Stranger, even though I shouldnt ask, but it is really rare for humans to visit the East Parting Continent. Can I ask your purpose for visiting? Yang Dingtian said, I am representing human civilization to make friends with the Half-Human Races, especially the Foxman Race and other intelligent races. Really? The fox beauty Xiangxiang Beila was surprised. Of course, it is true. Yang Dingtian asked, Oh right, why is your human language so fluent? Have you been to the humans territory? Xiangxiang Beila shook her head and said, No, I have never left the East Parting Continent before. I can converse in your language because I learned it from my mother. She is a human woman. Yang Dingtaian was very surprised and didnt know why a human woman was in the Foxman Races tribe. But he didnt continue asking and laughed instead, I also know some Foxman Races language. Really? Xiangxiang Beila used the Foxman Races language to ask. Of course, it is true. Yang Dingtian replied in the Foxman Races language. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian had been using the Foxman Races language to converse with Xiangxiang Beila. In the name of trying to find out about the local customs and culture, Yang Dingtian started to find out about the Burial Land. Burial Land? I have been there before, and it is just over 1,000 miles away from our tribe. Xiangxiang Beila said, I am very fond of the scenery at that place, even though it is a restricted battlefield. But I have sneaked in there to play many times, and I am very familiar with that place. Yang Dingtian was instantly delighted and felt that he didnt rescue this fox beauty in vain. Yang Dingtian asked, What kind of beautiful sceneries are in the Burial Land? Is there any mystical place? Immediately after, Xiangxiang Beila started to describe the beautiful sceneries in the Burial Land with excitement. From her tone, Yang Dingtian could indeed imagine a very beautiful place. But Yang Dingtian was disappointed that she never mentioned that half fire and half ice mountain. Yang Dingtian pondered about the consequences before asking, Thats right, I heard about a myth that mentioned there was a very strange mountain in the Burial Land. It is actually half fire and half ice. After asking, Yang Dingtians heart was racing as he was extremely anxious while waiting for Xiangxiang Beilas reply, even though he knew that it was very risky to ask this question. The Burial Land doesnt have such a mountain though? Xiangxiang Beilas words had made Yang Dingtians heart sink. The Burial Land is a few hundred miles in size. Could it be that you have never been to that mountain? Yang Dingtian questioned. Xiangxiang Beila replied, It cant be. I have been to every location in the Burial Land, and I am sure there isnt such a mountain like that. Yang Dingtian was truly disappointed now. Previously, Master and Jier had also mentioned there wasnt such a mountain, but Yang Dingtian still carried hopes in his heart. However, Xiangxiang Beila was very certain that there wasnt such a mountain. Could it be that there was really no such mountain? But on the map, the Mystic Flame is located right below that strange mountain. Thats right... All of a sudden, Xiangxiang Beila, Thats right, now that Mister Shen asked me, I recalled something. When I was very young, Grand Elder Ba Bi once mentioned something about a mountain that was half fire and half ice. I dont remember the exact details, but it is roughly the same as you said. After hearing this statement, Yang Dingtian was in delight as he asked, Is Grand Elder Ba Bi still around? Where is she now? She is still alive and is already over 200 years old. She is one of the most long-lived elders in our Foxman Race. Xiangxiang Beila said, Grand Elder Ba Bi is residing alone in a temple on the mountain. After we reach the tribe, I will bring you to see her. That will be great. Thank you. Yang Dingtian spoke calmly, but his heart was extremely excited. It was as though he had seen the light at the end of the tunnel. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian was greatly astonished to hear of her age and wasnt able to react instantly. Half-humans had a longer lifespan than humans, but not too much. Hence, for this Grand Elder Ba Bi to actually live for over 200 years, it should also be extremely rare even among the half-humans. *** Next, Yang Dingtian continued to converse with Xiangxiang Beila. As for Jier Ashina, after seeing the great battle turning from danger into peace, her heart was instantly relaxed. Due to her young age, she finally couldnt tolerate it anymore and fell into a deep sleep on Yang Dingtians back. For the next few hours, Yang Dingtian had encountered a few more patrol teams, but they were huge in numbers. With Xiangxiang Beilas familiarity with the environment, they were basically able to evade all the patrols. Just like that, in eight hours, they had walked to the end of the desert and had officially entered the East Parting Grassland. *** The East Parting Grassland might be called the grassland, but it was merely because of the rather leveled terrain. There were still mountains and forests. After entering the East Parting Grassland, Xiangxiang Beila led the way skillfully and with ease. Even though this wasnt the Foxman Races territory, she was still able to lead Yang Dingtian through routes that had a lesser population. In fact, during the journey, they had also encountered Foxman warriors that were out to search for her, but the group didnt go out and meet them. Along the way, Yang Dingtian noticed an increasing number of half-humans. The half-humans were very similar to humans, but there was a huge disparity in terms of appearance. In fact, there were a few races that had no resemblance to humans apart from being able to walk upright on two legs. Furthermore, there were various kinds of half-human houses. There were treehouses, houses made with rocks, caverns, houses constructed with wooden blocks, tents that were set up with beast pelt, and many more. As compared to human cities, the half-humans gathered in much smaller groups. During the journey, the biggest tribe that Yang Dingtian noticed was the Harpies. Their dwellings were simply suspended on the trees like giant nests. They were all clustered together, and there were at least thousands and close to ten thousand of them together. The rest of the half-human dwellings would only be the size of a small town; there were some that were only considered villages. After looking through the various races, the Foxman Race was the most similar to humans. Just like that, Xiangxiang Beila led Yang Dingtian through a concealed path and headed for the Foxman tribe. The Foxman tribe was around 2,000 miles from the borders of the desert. It was considered to be on the borders of the Burial Land. About four days later, after traveling through close to a hundred secret passages, Yang Dingtian and the group had finally arrived at the Foxman tribe. The Foxman Races dwellings were different from the other races as there were traces of intelligence. This dwelling already had the form of cities. It was circled by two layers of walls and a metallic gate. At first sight of Xiangxiang Beila, the people on the city walls had instantly cheered, Young Lady is back, Young Lady is Back! Hurry up and inform the chieftain! Immediately after, the gates gradually opened. Yang Dingtian followed behind Xiangxiang Beila and entered the Foxman Races city. As compared to the rest of the half-humans dwellings that Yang Dingtian came across, this Foxman Races territory was considered huge. With a visual estimation, just the Foxman Races dwelling was already a few hundred miles in size. There were a few hundred thousand houses, and there must be at least one million Foxman Races members inside. Compared to the other races, the Foxman Races constructions were the most refined. A considerable portion of the houses was constructed on huge trees, and almost all of the houses were delicate and beautiful. There was a small portion of houses that were constructed on the ground, but these houses were grand and larger in size. In summary, the Foxman Race had already upgraded from the tribal form to the city or town-like form. *** After entering the Foxman territory, Yang Dingtian was immediately escorted by dozens of Foxman warriors and boarded a large carriage. A few dozen miles later, they stopped and Xiangxiang Beila went to meet her father first. When Yang Dingtian and his group alighted the carriage, they realized that this place was very secluded. There wasnt a single Foxman resident and didnt have a cluster of houses. Within the valley, there was a rather big and white pavilion. This pavilion should be specially used by the Foxman Race to entertain guests that werent convenient to reveal to the public. After entering this pavilion, there were roughly a dozen servants that were preparing dinner. Once the dozens of warriors entered, they immediately scattered out and guarded their stations. Guests from far away... I am the pavilions chief supervisor. We are currently preparing dinner for you, can I ask if there is any food that you abstain from or have any preference? A middle-aged Foxman came over and asked. Anything is fine. Yang Dingtian replied. Alright. That chief supervisor said, You must be exhausted from the journey. Please have a rest for now. When dinner is ready, I will inform my esteemed guests. Immediately after, a few servants came over to guide Yang Dingtian and the others to their respective rooms to rest. Yang Dingtian and Jier Ashina were in the same room, while Qin San, Qin Liu, and Qin Qi were given rooms on the left and right side of Yang Dingtians room. At this moment, Jier was still sleeping. Yang Dingtian put her on the bed and covered her in the blanket. He then started to think about the things that happened on this journey. Jier once mentioned that the Foxman Race was very friendly to humans. But after his experience today, Yang Dingtian felt it was rather cold. Its true that the Foxman Race wasnt like the Wolfman Race that would immediately slaughter upon the sight of humans. But on this journey, they had entered a windowless carriage, and they seemed to be protected by dozens of warriors, but they were actually being monitored. Even after entering the guest pavilion, no one came over to converse with them, and all the foxmen were filled with precaution against Yang Dingtian and others. Had Yang Dingtian not rescued Xiangxiang Beila, this group of foxmen wouldnt have even attended to Yang Dingtians group. *** In the evening, they had finished dinner in almost utter silence. There wasnt any entertainment or any conversation as they returned to their respective rooms to rest. It looked as though this group of foxmen didnt wish to have any contact with Yang Dingtians group. It was only until the moment when Yang Dingtian was going to enter his room, the chief supervisor of the pavilion said, My guest, our chieftain will come to meet with you tonight. Yang Dingtian was startled for a moment before he nodded, Sure. *** Two hours later, Yang Dingtian met with the Foxman Races chieftain in the room. He was a very eminent and refined man, so handsome that he seemed to be above Zhu Hongxue. Furthermore, he had a slender body and elegant form. He was definitely a very rarely seen kind of handsome man. But a long scar on his face had slightly ruined the elegance and looks, but it had given him a special charm instead. I am the Foxman Races chieftain, Zhuri Beila. The handsome chieftain said, Xiangxiang Beila is my daughter, and she told me everything that happened. I am very thankful to you people for saving my daughter. That is something that we ought to do. Yang Dingtian replied. Then, is there anything I can help you with? As long as it is within my means, I will do it. The Foxman chieftain asked. Yang Dingtian responded, We dont seek repayment for the rescue. Zhuri Beila smiled and asked, Do you have any matters to do for entering the East Parting Grassland this time? Yang Dingtian said, We are here with friendly relations and wish to make friends with the Foxman Race. Zhuri Beilas face turned solemn as he asked, Then can I ask if you represent yourself or a faction? Yang Dingtian said, I am representing a heroic lord that possesses a ten thousand mile territory. He is willing to form a close friendship with the Foxman Race and is even willing to provide huge assistance to the Foxman Race. The Foxman chieftains face had changed slightly before he sank into a short silence. Immediately after, he said, If I didnt guess wrong, the person you mentioned should be the Qin City Lord, Qin Wanchou, right? This time, it was Yang Dingtians turn to be startled. He didnt expect the Foxman chieftain, who was separated by tens of thousands of miles from humans, to know the existence of Qin Wanchou. We are not ignorant of powerful humans. Zhuri Beila replied. Yang Dingtian asked, What is your opinion about forming a friendship then? Zhuri Beila stood up and said, I am very grateful that you rescued my daughter. But please stop mentioning this matter. We, half-humans, arent very convenient to have ties with humans. By receiving you today, it is already a huge violation. Please leave tomorrow. I will put in enough rewards on the carriage. Finishing his statement, Zhuri Beila turned and left. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but be shocked and thought, Isnt the Foxman Race very friendly and admired human civilization? Why are they so indifferent and would be so eager to push us away? But the so-called alliance with the Foxman Race was just an excuse. Yang Dingtians true objective was to search for the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame. Hence, he didnt really mind Zhuri Beilas attitude as he was more concerned if he were able to meet with that 200 years old, Grand Elder Ba Bi and if he could obtain information about that strange mountain. If he wished to see the so-called Grand Elder Ba Bi, he would need to meet with Xiangxiang Beila first. As such, Yang Dingtian was pondering on how to meet with Xiangxiang Beila or how to relay a message. Half an hour later, Yang Dingtian didnt need to ponder about this problem anymore because Xiangxiang Beila had sneaked into Yang Dingtians room. Apologies, Mister Shen. I didnt expect my father and the others to be so rude to you. Xiangxiang Beila was speaking with guilt. It doesnt matter. I can understand. Yang Dingtian said, The discord between the humans and the half-humans was formed over a thousand years. It will be very difficult to resolve. Do you wish to see Grand Elder Ba Bi? Xiangxiang Beila asked. Yes, this is something that I will need your help with. Yang Dingtian said. It is truly very coincidental. Grand Elder Ba Bis temple is just over ten miles in the deep mountains. Xiangxiang Beila stated. After that, Xiangxiang Beila spoke awkwardly, But over 100 individuals guard the entire guest pavilion. Father has ordered that none of you are allowed to leave. Yang Dingtian asked, Do the guards have high cultivation? Not very high, but... but they are my people, and we cannot possibly rush out with martial force. We do not wish for any of you to be injured. Xiangxiang Beila said. We will not use violence. Yang Dingtian said, But we might have some physical contact for what we are going to do next. Xiangxiang Beila blushed and said, Its alright. Yang Dingtian walked to the window and opened it. Yang Dingtians room was on the third floor, and due to the size of this pavilion, it was over 20 meters above the ground. In the darkness of the night, the ground floor was filled with guards. Yang Dingtian said, Young Lady Xiangxiang Beila, I must apologize. I will need to carry you on my back. Xiangxiang Beilas face got redder as she responded softly, Okay. She then walked behind Yang Dingtian and used her dainty arms to wrap around Yang Dingtian while her well-developed body was pressing onto Yang Dingtians back. For a moment, there was an aromatic fragrance, and Yang Dingtian felt an extremely bouncy and tender sensation. Yang Dingtians mind couldnt help but waver for a moment, but he quickly composed himself. He carried Xiangxiang Beila and walked to the window before he took a deep breath and circulated his mystic qi. After a breeze, Xiangxiang Beila was shocked to see a pair of beautiful and transparent wings grow from Yang Dingtians back. This was the Sky Spirit Mystic Wings; it was an energy demonic beasts wings. Qin Mengli had bought it at a sky-high price during the auction because she thought it was fun, she had then given it to Yang Dingtian. After summoning the Sky Spirit Mystic Wings, Yang Dingtian continued to circulate the flight mystic skill, Dragon Dance Nine Heavens. s?a??h th? ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The flight scroll, Dragon Dance Nine Heavens, was an extremely rare item in the world. After learning this mystic skill, one would be able to take flight in the sky. After Yang Dingtian learned it, he had never tried it before. Just in case, Yang Dingtian used the Sky Spirit Mystic Wings and the Dragon Dance Nine Heavens together. Rise! Yang Dingtian gave the order. Swish... Yang Dingtian turned into an afterimage and was immediately flying a few hundred meters up in the sky and had blended into the darkness. Ah... Xiangxiang Beila had been alarmed. She knew that she shouldnt, but she couldnt help but let out a soft shout. She then instinctively tightened her arms and legs to wrap Yang Dingtian very tightly. It wasnt just Xiangxiang Beila, as Yang Dingtian was also shocked. He didnt think that the combined power of the Sky Spirit Mystic Wings and Dragon Dance Nine Heavens would be so stunning, and he would be able to fly at such speed. The guards on the ground might have heard a gust of wind that broke through the air, but when they looked up, they didnt see anything and assumed it was a bird that flew by. *** A few hundred meters in the air, Yang Dingtian flew to the mountains as guided by Xiangxiang Beila. But at this moment, he wasnt using the Dragon Dance Nine Heavens anymore as it used up too much mystic qi. It was fine to merely rely on the Sky Spirit Mystic Wings. This might be the first time Xiangxiang Beila was looking at the scenery from the sky. Furthermore, all intelligent races would be filled with the desire to achieve the freedom of flight. There were just a rare few half-human races that could tame aerial demonic beasts, but the Foxman Race wasnt one of them. To tame aerial demonic beasts, a Beast Speaker was required. The half-human races might have blood that was closer to demonic beasts, but their spiritual energy for taming demonic beasts was far below the humans capabilities. But there were a few half-human races that possessed terrifying innate abilities. Let alone the control of aerial beasts, they could even command demonic beasts in battle. Hence, even with the lack of intelligent races, no one dared to provoke the East Parting Grassland as it would be unconventional. Mister Shen, are there more powerful and incredible humans like you? Xiangxiang Beila asked. Yang Dingtian said, I am not considered powerful. There are a lot more people that are stronger than me. Just like those three men by my side, they are much stronger than me. But they still have to obey your commands. It is obvious that you are incredible. Xiangxiang Beila asked, Among the humans, are there a lot of them that can fly like you? Yang Dingtian shook his head and said, There are not a lot of individuals that can fly. I think so too. There must not be a lot of incredible individuals like you. Xiangxiang Beila commented. After hearing her admiring tone, Yang Dingtian felt embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, Young Lady Xiangxiang Beila, previously, I have always heard that the Foxman Race is very friendly to humans. Many of you think that you are not the half-human savages and are closer to intelligent civilizations like humans. But why was your father so cold and indifferent to me? Xiangxiang Beila shook her head and said, I dont know too. Previously, my father has always been filled with expectations and favorable impressions of the human race. Furthermore, he has a very good understanding of your human territories and knows very well about your humans famed leaders. If a massive faction is willing to form a friendship with us, he should be very happy. I dont know why he would be so indifferent. After this statement, the originally unbothered Yang Dingtian couldnt help but feel confused. Mister Shen, we have arrived. All of a sudden, Xiangxiang Beila pointed at a flame that was deep in the mountains head, Grand Elder Ba Bis temple is over there. Yang Dingtian focused his eyes and could see a temple that was constructed with pure wood within the mountain. Yang Dingtian instantly flew towards the direction of the temple. *** Who is it? Suddenly, Yang Dingtian was fixed in the air. An extremely powerful force had locked Yang Dingtian in the air and had immobilized him. Yang Dingtian was horrified at the extremely high cultivation of the Grand Elder Ba Bi in the temple. She was actually able to immobilize Yang Dingtian from over a thousand meters. She must have cultivation that wasnt inferior to the Master class. Human Shen Lang pays his respects to Elder Ba Bi. Yang Dingtian greeted. Yang Dingtian was rather surprised to find out that Grand Elder Ba Bi was actually a woman. Previously, Xiangxiang Beila didnt say it clearly; hence, Yang Dingtian assumed that the Grand Elder was a man. She was coughing as she spoke and sounded very frail, but her voice actually echoed within Yang Dingtians ears from a thousand meters away. It was evident that her cultivation was immeasurable. Chapter 255: Convincing Ba Bi! Finding Out the Location of the Mystic Flame! Chapter 255: Convincing Ba Bi! Finding Out the Location of the Mystic Flame!She was coughing as she spoke and sounded very frail, but her voice actually echoed within Yang Dingtians ears from a thousand meters away. It was evident that her cultivation was immeasurable. You are an outsider. I do not meet with outsiders. Will this guest please return? Ba Bi spoke indifferently while coughing at the same time. Grand Elder, it is me, Xiangxiang Beila. Xiangxiang Beila quickly yelled out, Mister Shen rescued my life. He has something important to ask you, will you please meet with him? Lass Xiangxiang Beila, if you didnt come with him, I would have already killed him. Why would I allow him to enter? Ba Bi said coldly, Hurry up and leave. Dont force me to make a move. Xiangxiang Beila had an awkward expression and whispered to Yang Dingtian, Elder Ba Bis character is very eccentric. She will definitely do the things that she says. We better leave for now and make other plans. Yang Dingtian wasnt willing to leave just like this; hence, he asked, Elder, I shall not enter. I have something to seek your advice. Can I ask you here? No. Ba Bi coughed violently and said coldly, I am not happy. If you dont leave, dont blame me for killing you to vent my anger. Cough Cough Cough... Due to the anger, the old lady Ba Bi was coughing even more violently. In the darkness of the night, it sounded prominently frightful. Mother, mother, dont be angry. This son is already over 100 years old, and even if I die, I will still be considered long-lived. Why, why cant you just take a lighter view? At this moment, an extremely frail and aged voice echoed, it was the voice of an old man. The voice was truly aged and sounded so weak as though he could die at any moment. Hearing from the manner of speaking, this old man must be Ba Bis son. Ba Bi was feeling so frustrated, possibly because her son was about to pass away. Yang Dingtian had a sudden idea as he asked, Elder, is this old sir your son? What are you so pesky for? Do you really think I wouldnt kill you? Ba Bi spoke with a harsh voice. Instantly, an extremely powerful and icy cold energy was blasted at Yang Dingtians chest. It was actually going to take Yang Dingtians life. Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique, Ice Transformation Art. Yang Dingtian quickly circulated the Ice Transformation Art to neutralize this powerful icy cold energy. Furthermore, the ice-attribute mystic talisman was devouring the icy cold energy too. As such, Yang Dingtian was finally able to seize his life back, but he had vomited a few mouthfuls of fresh blood. Xiangxiang Beila, who was hugging Yang Dingtian from behind, had suddenly cried with anxiety, Mister, what happened to you? What happened to you? Afterward, she used her small hand to rub on Yang Dingtians chest and desperately poured her mystic qi inside to treat Yang Dingtians injury. Yang Dingtian gradually opened his eyes while the ashen and ice blue complexion faded. He patted on Xiangxiang Beilas hand and said, I am fine. Then lets go quickly; otherwise, the Elder will really kill you. Xiangxiang Beila stated. Ba Bi was very surprised, Who are you? How can you receive 10% of my force and not die? s?a??h th? N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian didnt reply to the question and said something else, Elder Ba Bi, I might be able to save your son. Nonsense! The old lady Ba Bi said coldly, Are you thinking to fraud me with the likes of you? My sons lifespan is already at the end, and it isnt as though he has any illness. How can you save him? Yang Dingtian said, Whether I can save him or not, wouldnt you know after I try? Suddenly, Elder Ba Bi was in silence. Three minutes later, old lady Ba Bi said, You wish to try? Sure, but you have to try with your life. How about it? How so? Yang Dingtian asked. Old lady Ba Bi said, If you can really save my sons life, no matter what you ask, I will tell you everything I know. If you cannot save him, then you shall die under my palm and be buried with my son. How about it? No way. Xiangxiang Beila quickly replied. Sure! Yang Dingtian replied straightforwardly. No way. Mister Shen, you cannot. We will think about another method for your matter, okay? Xiangxiang Beila pleaded. It is fine. Yang Dingtian patted on her hand. At this moment, Ba Bi had already removed the lock on Yang Dingtian. He landed lightly and placed Xiangxiang Beila on the ground and said, Wait here for me. I will be back soon. No, you cannot go, you cannot go... Xiangxiang Beila pulled Yang Dingtians hand and pleaded. Yang Dingtian got free from Xiangxiang Beilas hand and flew into the sky before heading to the gloomy and reclusive temple that was 1,000 meters away. ... The temple was ice cold within, and there was only one candle flame. It was extremely hideous. On the bed, there was an old man that was so old that his appearance was abnormal. He was emaciated, and all his skin had wrinkled. Yang Dingtian had never seen such an old man in his life. He should be the Elder Ba Bis son and was already at his dying breath as his life had reached the end. At the front of the bed, there was a woman wearing a long purple robe. Her back was facing Yang Dingtian, hence, he could only see that she had snow-white hair. She was already more than 200 years old, and her son was so old, Yang Dingtian wondered how old she would look. Now, you can start treating my son. Ba Bi was still coughing as she spoke, If you can treat him, I will tell you anything. If you cannot treat him, you shall die... Alright. Yang Dingtian responded and took out a cup of holy water before walking over and handing it to old lady Ba Bi, Let your son drink this cup of water, and it will be done. Ba Bi abruptly turned around and said in a cold voice, Do you think I am an idiot? You want to use a cup of water to save my sons life? She suddenly reached out and strangled Yang Dingtians neck with lightning speed and was about to crush the neck into pieces. Her hand was as cold as ice, and when Yang Dingtians neck was strangled, he felt that he was getting choked by a ghost. Her razor-sharp nails pierced into Yang Dingtians flesh and caused his neck to be drenched in blood. Yang Dingtian looked at Ba Bis eyes and said indifferently, I am already betting with my life, why else can I offer? If your son cannot be treated, I am the one who should be worried, Elder... Before Yang Dingtian could finish his words, he looked as though he had seen a ghost as he stared at Ba Bis face with astonishment and disbelief. It was an absolutely and devastatingly beautiful face that was celestial-like. She wasnt inferior to Madam Ximen or his masters wife. Furthermore, she looked to be around 30 years old. However, she was already more than 200 years old. Originally, Yang Dingtian felt that Ba Bis son was already so old, she should also be very old. But Yang Dingtian didnt expect her to be so shockingly gorgeous. Even her white hair wasnt able to conceal her beautiful looks. As for her body, it was still curvaceous and very seductive. But when Yang Dingtian looked at this absolutely beautiful face and curvaceous body, he didnt feel attracted. Instead, he had a strange sensation. If Yang Dingtian didnt know her age, it was needless to say that she would be a woman that all men would go crazy for. But after knowing her age, everything felt strange. After seeing Yang Dingtians shock, Ba Bis face flushed with anger as she said indifferently, Since his lifespan is already at the end, it doesnt matter what you give to him. Go on then. Just happen to have one more individual to be buried with my son. Afterward, she released Yang Dingtians neck. Yang Dingtian moved closer and gently opened that old mans mouth before pouring the holy water in his mouth. Yang Dingtian then held his breath and waited for a reaction. To be honest, Yang Dingtian didnt have any confidence. Just as Ba Bi mentioned, this old man wasnt injured and didnt suffer from any illness. His lifespan was simply at the end and was about to pass away naturally. The holy water allowed the victims to make an unexpected recovery and was able to recover severe injuries. But previously, the holy water had only saved people with severe injuries. Thus, Yang Dingtian didnt know about the effect on people whose lifespan was at the end. If it failed, Yang Dingtians life would end in this place! This Ba Bi was vicious and ruthless; she would definitely do as she mentioned and bury Yang Dingtian with her son. One minute... Two minutes... Three minutes... Five minutes... *** The dying old man on the bed still didnt move. During this period of time, Ba Bis beautiful eyes had been staring at her son on the bed. She might have said that she didnt have any expectations, but how could she not wish for a miracle to happen? But right now, she was gradually going into despair. After drinking the cup of water, her son had barely managed to open his eyes, but now, his eyes were already closing, and he wasnt moving anymore. Two streams of tears rolled off her cheeks. She was in extreme grief, but there wasnt any sound of crying. Her face didnt grow old, but Yang Dingtian could feel her bearing and aura growing older by dozens of years. Her delicate body started to shiver slightly as she started a soundless sob. Five minutes later, she stopped her shivering and faced Yang Dingtian, Time is up. You shall accompany my son into the ground so that he will not be lonely. Finishing her statement, she lifted her hand and placed it above Yang Dingtians head and was about to smash down. Right at this moment, a miracle happened. The skin of the old man had started to turn florid, and his breaths were getting stronger. Immediately after, something even more incredible had happened. He had actually recovered his youth. His originally old skin had started to tighten, and the wrinkles were vanishing. The body that was originally thin had started to become robust. Everything was transforming at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. Ten minutes later, the miraculous transformation was over. This old man had turned young by over 100 years. Right now, he was no longer aged and wrinkled. He looked at most 50 years old, and he might still look like an aged person, but he was filled with vitality and strength. This holy water was truly shocking and simply a divine item. At this moment, Yang Dingtian was even more confident in curing Yanyan. Ba Bi was also stunned by everything and was extremely overjoyed, so much that she wasnt able to react. She wasnt able to laugh nor cry. Finally, all the shock and ecstasy had turned into a shout. My son... She lunged at her son on the bed and hugged him tightly in her embrace. Her son had yet to awaken and seemed to be still absorbing and digesting the powerful energy of the holy water. Right now, his complexion was florid, and his breathing was stable. Anybody could see that he had recovered. Ba Bi had hugged her son for more than ten minutes before standing up. After turning around, she smiled sweetly at Yang Dingtian and said, Human, thank you. You are welcome. Yang Dingtian replied. From the start, this Ba Bi had always put on a cold and chilly face. Now that she had smiled, it was as though the spring breeze was blowing over and looked as though hundreds of flowers were blossoming. Yang Dingtian was rather overwhelmed. Right now, it is time for me to fulfill my promise. Ba Bi said, Will you follow me outside? Yang Dingtian had let out a breath of relief. This Ba Bi was so formidable, and Yang Dingtian was really afraid she might go back on her words. She might even kill Yang Dingtian and snatch the holy water. Yang Dingtian walked out of the temple while following behind Ba Bi. But when Yang Dingtian was walking out of the temple, he took a glance at the son and was surprised to find out that the son was actually a human. *** After exiting the temple, Ba Bi took a deep breath of the outside air and said, Mister, you may ask. I have only lived for a little over 200 years; so even I do not know everything about the East Parting Grassland. But, as long as its within my abilities, I shall help. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and asked, I would like to ask Madam Ba Bi, I heard there is a very strange mountain in the Burial Land. It is half fire and half ice. I have asked many half-human races, but none of them knew about it. I would like to ask if you know about it? Before Yang Dingtian finished asking, Ba Bis beautiful eyes were staring intently at him, causing Yang Dingtian to feel apprehensive. Ba Bi was still staring closely at Yang Dingtians eyes. Yang Dingtian felt a powerful pressure that had nearly suffocated him, and he couldnt help but feel increasingly nervous. Just as his anxiety was reaching the limit, Ba Bai suddenly replied, There is such a mountain. Follow me. After speaking, she walked leisurely into the temple. She took out a brush and opened up a piece of cloth and started to draw on it. She drew it very simply. There were just a few mountains, a few bodies of water and the rest were mostly grasslands. This is the rough map of the Burial Land. Ba Bi pointed at the lake in the center of the map, This place is where the strange mountain is. It is half fire and half ice. Yang Dingtian said, But this is obviously a lake. Ba Bi said, Thats right; it is a huge lake that is a few dozen miles in size. But it isnt the right time yet. Once the time is right, a mountain will emerge from the lake. It is over a few thousand feet in height, and it is half fire, half ice. Of course, almost no one knows about this matter. When it happened 200 years ago, there were only two individuals who saw this scene, and I am one of the two individuals. Ah... Yang Dingtian was utterly astonished, and thought, So this is the case. But for a huge lake to turn into a mountain, it is also too shocking and unbelievable. Could it be due to the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame? If that is the case, isnt the Mystic Flames energy too overwhelming? No wonder Master said that he never saw such a mountain before, Jier and Xiangxiang Beila had also said they never saw such a mountain before. But why would Ba Bi know? There is another mystery about her. She is already over 200 years old, but why is she still so young and beautiful? Furthermore, her son is actually a human. However, Ba Bi didnt have any reason to explain all these mysteries. Yang Dingtian carried on asking, Then when do you think the strange mountain would emerge again? Ba Bi replied, If it is a phenomenon that occurs once every two centuries, it should be in three days. That Yin Yang Mountain will probably emerge from the large lake again. Three days? Yang Dingtian was shocked. Didnt this mean that the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame would only bloom once every two centuries? The extreme grade coal-seam fire would only bloom once every decade. The Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame would only bloom once every two centuries. It was very reasonable. Do you have any other questions? Ba Bi asked. Yang Dingtian hesitated before shaking his head, Nothing else. He wasnt that rash to ask her why she would know a secret that no one else knew, why wouldnt she age, why was her son a human. It was as if her entire existence was filled with unspeakable secrets. Yang Dingtian wanted to know, but he must not ask. Once he asked, he might not be able to leave anymore. Of course, even if he didnt ask these questions, he was still worried if he would be able to leave. Because he possessed the holy water and the Yin Yang Mountain that was half fire, half ice was definitely a secret that no one else knew. Now that Yang Dingtian had asked the question, it was possible that Ba Bi might kill him to silence him. If you have no other questions, you may leave. Ba Bi said. Yang Dingtian was instantly relieved again by this statement. Mother... I, I am fine? At this moment, a male voice echoed from within. It must be her son, but the voice was much younger. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian noticed that he wasnt speaking the Foxman Races language but the human language. Son, dont come out, Mother is coming in now. Ba Bi said. She then whispered to Yang Dingtian, Hurry up and leave. Dont let my son see you. After speaking, she actually pushed Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian summoned the Sky Spirit Mystic Wings and directly flew into the sky, leaving the temple behind. Before he left, he heard Ba Bis intimate voice saying, You are mothers son, how can you possibly die. You still have to accompany the mother for a lifetime. The voice was filled with pampering love, making Yang Dingtians hair stand on end. *** Yang Dingtian was flying in the air and saw that Xiangxiang Beila was actually rushing towards Ba Bis temple. It was obvious that she couldnt see Yang Dingtian and was rushing to find him. Yang Dingtian felt very touched for a moment and quickly swooped down to carry Xiangxiang Beila. Mister, you are fine? Xiangxiang Beila was pleasantly surprised before she hugged Yang Dingtian tightly. I am fine. Yang Dingtian replied and patted on her back gently. Did you really cure Grand Elder Ba Bis son? Xiangxiang Beila asked with disbelief. Yang Dingtian nodded and said, Yes. Xiangxiang Beilas beautiful eyes had a more concentrated admiration as she spoke with a trembling voice, Mister, you are really incredible. Yang Dingtian was a little embarrassed by her eyes and quickly averted his gaze. Xiangxiang Beila was also bashful and quickly averted her gaze too, Mister, did you find out what you wanted to know? I found out. Yang Dingtian replied. Chapter 256: Stumbling Block, Dongfang Bingling! Chapter 256: Stumbling Block, Dongfang Bingling!I found out. Yang Dingtian replied. Is that so? That is great. Xiangxiang Beila was excited, but she didnt ask what Yang Dingtian wanted to find out. Lets go. We are returning immediately. Yang Dingtian said and extended his arms. Xiangxiang Beilas dainty face blushed a little before she gently shrunk into Yang Dingtians embrace and was carried by him. Her two delicate arms were gently wrapped around Yang Dingtians neck. Yang Dingtian moved his wings and flew towards the guest pavilion. *** Yang Dingtian had been carrying Xiangxiang Beila, and they landed around a thousand meters away from the guest pavilion, he then held onto her shoulder and said, Xiangxiang Beila, I have something that I need your help with. Is that okay? Okay. Xiangxiang Beila nodded forcefully and said, I will definitely do it. I still have a very important matter to do and shall not return to the guest pavilion. You know that I have three very incredible experts with me, but they are actually not my bodyguards, they are actually responsible for monitoring me. Hence, I have to break free from their control before I can do this important matter. Yang Dingtian explained. En, I understand. What do you need me to do? Xiangxiang Beila asked. In regards to those three men, you dont have to do anything. They are very powerful and are very vicious. Yang Dingtian said, I need your help with that Foxman Races little girl. She was captured by humans to be a female slave, and I just happened to rescue her. I have many things to do, and it would be very inconvenient to bring her by my side. Furthermore, she is of the same race as you, and this is her true home. I wish to entrust her to you and let her grow and live in this place. Xiangxiang Beila instantly nodded, Dont you worry. I will definitely treat her like my own younger sister. Im glad. Thank you. Yang Dingtian continued, Next, you need to return to the guest pavilion alone and ask someone to carry Jier down for you. You dont have to bother about the matters at this side and dont need to meet with those three humans. Return to your fathers side immediately. Your father is very formidable, and those three human experts arent a match for him. En, I understand. Xiangxiang Beila acknowledged. Yang Dingtian smiled, I am leaving now then. Afterward, Yang Dingtian slowly drifted to the sky. Xiangxiang Beilas beautiful eyes reddened slightly while tears emerged, Then will Mister return after finishing your matters to come and look for Xiangxiang Beila, oh, no, to look for Jier again? Yang Dingtian nodded, If I have time, I will surely come. Not just to see Jier but also to see Young Lady Xiangxiang Beila. Then, I shall wait for you to come and look for me. Xiangxiang Beila spoke delicately. Farewell! Yang Dingtian nodded and flew up into the sky. Mister, take care. Xiangxiang Beila spoke with a sobbing voice. s?a??h th? N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Thank you. Yang Dingtian spoke softly and vibrated his wings before flying towards the direction of the Burial Land. Three days later, the half fire and half ice Yin Yang Mountain was going to emerge from the large lake in the center of the Burial Land. That would be the day when the Mystic Flame would bloom, and if he missed it, he would need to wait another 200 years. *** A few hours later, Yang Dingtian flew to the Foxman Races dwelling and into the 500-mile Burial Land. Right now, the sun was already up. The Burial Land was basically a boundless grassland. Throughout the 500-mile Burial Land, there were slightly more than ten mountains and a few lakes. The rest of the land was boundless grasslands. Right now, the grassland was uninhabited. Apart from the time when this land was filled with half-humans armies during the wars, there would be no one else in this place for the rest of the time. There werent any signs of life either. Because this was a battlefield, and countless people had died in this place. Every inch of the land was stained with blood; every inch below the ground was filled with skeletons. Hence, this place was the best place for yin energy to flourish. During normal times, none of the half-humans would dare to enter this place alone. Even animals and demonic beasts wouldnt wish to enter this place. When in the sky, Yang Dingtian could clearly see that even though the lands of the Burial Land and the outside lands were connected, they were entirely different. The soil outside was filled with greenery and life. While the trees and weeds in the Burial Land were ash red, the soil was entirely red due to all the blood that had drenched the ground. It was also because of the countless corpses that were buried; hence, the Burial Lands soil was extremely fertile. The weeds that grew out of the soil were three to four meters in height. They were about as tall as an average adult human, and it was basically impossible to travel by foot. Hence, Yang Dingtian was still flying, but he was laying low to the four-meter weeds. He was secretly flying towards the Burial Lands central lake. The Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame should be there, but it would only be visible when it would bloom three days later. Just like that, Yang Dingtian had flown silently for two hours and was already 100 miles into the Burial Land. Midway, he passed by a lake. The water of the lake was entirely blood-red in color, and it was very viscous while filled with the stench of blood and foul odor. This Burial Land was truly a place that was very sinister and strange. But it was fortunate that he didnt encounter a single person during the journey. Just as Yang Dingtian was feeling relaxed, he suddenly felt an incredibly powerful energy that was rapidly approaching him. Immediately after, he saw the weeds on the ground were rapidly collapsing, and three figures were pursuing with extreme speed. It was Qin San, Qin Liu, and Qin Qi. He didnt expect that they would catch up. They didnt even use blades to make their way through the weeds. They were simply dashing forward at full speed and emitting forceful energy to turn the weeds into dust. Everywhere they passed through would turn into a leveled path. Three Martial Supreme experts were extremely powerful, and smashing weeds into dust while opening a path was an easy task. When Yang Dingtain first saw them, they were a few thousand meters away from him. But when Yang Dingtian took another glance, they were already half the distance away. Yang Dingtian was alarmed and had quickly circulated the Dragon Dance Nine Heavens to increase his speed rapidly. He desperately flew to the sky to escape the trios pursuit. He was going to harvest the Mystic Flame next, how could the trio stay by his side? Most importantly, if they knew about the Mystic Flame, they would probably kill Yang Dingtian at the first moment. The Dragon Dance Nine Heavens was truly incredible. With the addition of the Sky Spirit Mystic Wings, Yang Dingtians speed was up to a few hundred miles an hour. Hence, in just a few minutes, Qin San and others were left far behind. After a few minutes, the trio was no longer visible. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but relax a little. But right at this moment, Yang Dingtians body felt sluggish, and he nearly fell from the sky. His mystic qi had been exhausted. Earlier on, he was only trying to escape desperately and had been using his mystic qi without reserve to push his speed to the limit. Hence, in just less than ten minutes, his mystic qi had been emptied. At this moment, he was less than 100 miles away from the central lake. Soon enough, Yang Dingtians mystic qi couldnt even maintain the Sky Spirit Mystic Wings, and he fell from the sky. When Yang Dingtian landed, he quickly took out a mystic assembly elixir from the spatial ring to consume. He then sat cross-legged on the ground to refine the mystic assembly elixirs mystic qi into his qi vessel and recover his mystic qi. Half a minute... One minute... Three minutes... Yang Dingtian was burning with anxiety. Finally, after three and a half minutes, Yang Dingtian had completely refined the mystic qi within the mystic assembly elixir. His entire mystic qi was recovered back to around 80%. Subsequently, he activated his wings and flew into the sky. But right at this moment, he realized that his entire body was locked by three different forces, and he couldnt move. They actually arrived on time and sealed Yang Dingtians movements from over a few hundred meters. A few seconds ago, the trio had rushed to Yang Dingtians side and surrounded him in the middle. Qin San looked at Yang Dingtian with cold eyes and asked, Mister Shen, where are you going? Yang Dingtian replied, Do I need to report to you where I am going? My Lord has once mentioned that the three of you are to obey my commands unconditionally. I am not the one to obey your commands. Thats right. It is the case. Qin San said, But that is when you are working normally. Your normal work should be to forge an alliance with the Foxman Race and not to enter this uninhabited Burial Land. What is your objective? Say it! Yang Dingtian said coldly, What if I dont say it? Qin San said, For the interests of Qin City, we have no choice but to use some methods to interrogate you. Immediately, Qin Sans palm abruptly emerged with a strange energy and was placed on Yang Dingtians head. The strange energy burrowed into Yang Dingtians head. Ahhh... The extreme pain had caused Yang Dingtian to yell miserably. The strange spiritual energy was actually conducting torture on Yang Dingtians rationality and consciousness. Yang Dingtians heart turned cold. He immediately circulated his spiritual energy and mystic qi to resist, but his strength was far too inferior to Qin San, thus, he was unable to resist. In the hellish torment, Yang Dingtians willpower to resist was getting weaker. Yang Dingtian still had a last trick, that was the thunder attribute mystic skill. If Yang Dingtian used it on Qin San, it might not injure him, but there might be a trace of opportunity for him to escape. But if he were to do it, his impersonation of the Hidden Sects disciple would be completely exposed. It was possible that he wouldnt have a place in the world to establish himself anymore. But if he didnt do so, his spirit and his mind might suffer permanent damage. Mister Shen, if you dont talk, your mind might be crippled. Qin San stated coldly. Right at this moment, the surrounding air suddenly turned cold, and the surrounding weeds had been instantly frozen. Release him. He belongs to me now. An extremely pleasant voice echoed, that was like a sound of ice breaking and jade shattering. Moreover, this voice was extremely familiar. It was unknown how many times it had echoed in the depths of Yang Dingtians heart and caused his heart to surge with ingrained hatred. Dongfang Bingling! The Nine Heavens Fairy, Dongfang Bingling. Almost instantly... An extremely beautiful figure floated in the air. She was still high and mighty. She was still like that absolute fairy standing on the peak of the mountain. She? She actually appeared in this place? Chapter 257: Public Murder! Robbing Yang Dingtian! Chapter 257: Public Murder! Robbing Yang Dingtian!The beautiful Dongfang Bingling descended from the sky slowly as she floated dozens of meters above the ground. Qin Sans complexion immediately changed when he saw Dongfang Bingling appearing. It was especially so when Dongfang Bingling did not even bother to conceal herself. She didnt even wear her veil and had appeared before them with her true face. This represented a dangerous signal. After being surprised, Qin Sans complexion returned to normal very quickly. He went forward a step and bowed, Northwest Qin Citys Qin San, Qin Liu, and Qin Qi greet fairy. Qin Sans manners were extremely respectful. The respect he showed was only preceded by Qin Wanchou. Dongfang Binglings complexion was still cold as she pointed at Yang Dingtian casually, This person belongs to me now. Qin San replied humbly, Reporting back to Fairy Dongfang. Military Advisor Shen is an important person in our Qin City. The three of us had gotten orders not to be even half a step away from protecting him. Therefore, I hope Fairy Dongfang would not make it difficult for us. Dongfang Bingling no longer spoke after Qin San rejected her. Rather, she drew out her sword. Immediately, Qin San and the others formed a triangle around Yang Dingtian to protect him. If this were in normal times, the three of us would never dare to make a move against Fairy Dongfang. However, Lord Qin had given us the order to protect Military Advisor Shen Lang with our lives. Therefore, if Fairy Dongfang is going to make a move, we will have no choice but to resist. Qin San immediately replied even more respectfully, I know that Fairy Dongfang is an outstanding genius. Ten years later, we will most likely not be your match even if the three of us joined hands. But today, youre a Martial Supreme class expert, and the three of us are Martial Supreme class experts as well. Therefore, if were to injure Fairy Dongfang later during the exchange, theres nothing I can do even if it meant ten thousand deaths. Although Qin Sans attitude was extremely polite and modest, his tone had already shown hints of threats. However, Yang Dingtian felt that his words were very rational. Dongfang Bingling was already a Martial Supreme class expert when she was just 20 years old. It was truly too shocking, and such had never occurred in over a thousand years. However, she was still very young. Qin Liu and Qin Qi were 2-star and 3-star Martial Supreme, respectively. Qin San was even stronger. During that battle on the desert, Yang Dingtian had personally witnessed their powers. Yang Dingtian felt that although Dongfang Bingling was extremely powerful, it would still be somewhat hard for her to face against Qin San alone. If he were to add in Qin Liu and Qin Qi, Dongfang Bingling would not be a match for them. Stop your nonsense, and make your move. Dongfang Bingling replied coldly. Excuse me then. Qin San bowed before drawing out his sword. He spoke to Qin Liu and Qin Qi, who were behind him, Protect Military Advisor Shen well. Subsequently, Qin San turned into a green-ray and charged towards Dongfang Bingling, who was in the air. As before, Dongfang Bingling hovered in the air unmovingly. A cold ray flashed in her hand, and the Mystic Ice Soul Sword slashed down. In an instant, Qin Sans arm that held the sword was severed away and had flown out. The wound had been congealed by ice. Even the blood couldnt be flown out. Meanwhile, the body that was charging towards Dongfang Bingling directly fell from the air. Immediately, Yang Dingtian was stupefied. Not only Yang Dingtian, but even Qin San and the others were completely rendered dumbstruck. Yang Dingtian was fully aware of how strong Qin San was. He felt that Dongfang Bingling would at most be equally matched with Qin San. Unexpectedly, Dongfang Bingling had directly negated Qin Sans attack with a single move, leaving no way for Qin San to retaliate. Qin San faced Qin Liu and Qin Qi, and said, Quickly take the Military Advisor away. Qin San was shocked and was in despair. He yelled before biting onto his tongue, causing it to spurt a blood fog. He had utilized an evil technique to instantly increase his cultivation by numerous times as he charged towards Dongfang Bingling again. Qin Liu and Qin Qi pressed against Yang Dingtian at either side and used their fastest speed to flee. Dongfang Bingling, lets die together... Qin San roared frantically. Immediately, all of his blood spurted out crazily, and his body rapidly swelled. All of a sudden, he pounced towards Dongfang Bingling and was about to self-detonate. Qin San was fast, but Dongfang Bingling was even faster. In a flash, she arrived before Qin San as if she had instantly shifted over. Before Qin San could even self detonate, Dongfang Bingling had directly pierced her sword into his chest. Immediately, terrifying ice-cold energy spread out, and Qin Sans body had been completely frozen. S?a??h th? N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Dongfang Binglings jade hands trembled lightly, and the frozen Qin Sans body immediately exploded. He had died horribly and was turned into ice cubes that splattered everywhere. Third brother... Qin Liu and Qin Qi cried out in alarm. Yang Dingtian was truly in awe of how sharp Dongfang Binglings murderous method was. He knew how formidable Dongfang Bingling was. But never had he thought that Dongfang Binglings true strength would greatly exceed his imagination. Dongfang Bingling didnt have the slightest bit of hesitation and chased after Yang Dingtian after killing Qin San. Qiu Liu and Qin Qis speeds were extremely fast. But it was nothing compared to Dongfang Binglings speed. It was as if Dongfang Bingling were instant-shifting over as the distance between them decreased from a thousand miles to dozens of miles in a span of a few seconds. Qin Liu and Qin Qi lifted their sword as they yelled at Yang Dingtian, Teacher Shen, go! Remember, the Lord thinks very highly of you. Dont let the Lord down. Subsequently, the two of them charged at that female. Qin Liu and Qin Qis yells had shaken Yang Dingtian awoke. He stamped his foot and shot to the air. Subsequently, he hovered above the air and flew towards the west with all his effort. He used Sky Spirit Mystic Wings and Dragon Dance Nine Heavens to alleviate himself up the sky. The higher, the better. He circulated his mystic qi to its maximum and increased his speed to his peak as he flew frantically. He had used all his efforts to escape from Dongfang Bingling. While Yang Dingtian was in mid-air, he couldnt help but turn around and look towards Qiu Liu and Qin Qi. However, he only saw that Dongfang Bingling continued to charge ahead as she flung the sword on her hand. Immediately, the atmosphere solidified. An incredibly strong ice-cold energy instantly froze Qin Liu and Qin Qi. Subsequently, that womans silhouette flashed and charged past Qin Liu and Qin Qi. After a flash, Qin Liu and Qin Qis heads were sent flying. The hovering Yang Dingtian was completely stupefied when he saw the tragic scene. Qin San, Qin Liu and Qin Qi did not have any friendship with Yang Dingtian. So much that Qin San had even interrogated Yang Dingtian with torture. Furthermore, this trio was completely loyal towards Qin Wanchous order of protecting Yang Dingtian. Besides, Yang Dingtian was able to feel that this trio held a hint of casual enmity against him. However, it was also this trio that had died for him so that they could protect him. Therefore, Yang Dingtian couldnt help but turn teary. He almost couldnt help but cry. Subsequently, he continued to put in all his efforts to escape. However, Dongfang Bingling stood at the same spot after killing Qin Liu and Qin Qi. She lifted her beautiful face and looked at the Yang Dingtian above her. When Yang Dingtian saw that she wasnt chasing after him, he heaved a sigh of relief. However, it was clear that he had celebrated too early. A pair of transparent and beautiful wings appeared behind her back. Subsequently, she flew up and chased after Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtians flying speed could be counted as extremely quick. However, Dongfang Binglings speed was completely like a meteorite. In just a few seconds, she had already arrived before him. Chapter 258: Searching For Mystic Flame! Chapter 258: Searching For Mystic Flame!At the next second, Yang Dingtian felt his nape turning cold. Dongfang Bingling actually grabbed him. Immediately, all of his mystic qi had been bound as if he had been frozen. He couldnt even budge. Lets go, Shen Lang. Dongfang Bingling spoke coldly. Yang Dingtian was startled. She actually addressed him as Shen Lang. Could it be that she had yet to recognize him? Why would she seize him here? Yang Dingtian frowned, Where are we heading to? Search for the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame. Dongfang Bingling replied. Yang Dingtian was immediately terrified. How did Dongfang Bingling know that he was searching for the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame? Young Lady Dongfang, you must have been mistaken. Im under Lord Qin Wanchous orders to form an alliance with the Half-Human Race in the East Parting Grassland. Yang Dingtian replied. Dongfang Bingling commented coldly, Shut up, dont try to lie before me. If youre going to say another sentence of you not searching for the Mystic Flame, I will sever one of your arms. Yang Dingtian turned quiet immediately. This Dongfang Bingling was definitely not joking. Qin San, Qin Liu, and Qin Qi were Qin Wanchous trusted bodyguards. Yet, she had slaughtered like chickens. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian had somewhat understood why Dongfang Bingling was not able to recognize him. It was because she was extremely arrogant. In her eyes, Yang Dingtian was nothing. Therefore, she might have already forgotten how Yang Dingtian looked. Hence, she was not able to recognize him after he had disguised himself as Shen Lang and was even more disinclined to recognize him. Go, search for the Mystic Flame. I will not kill you once you locate it. Furthermore, I will give you sufficient remuneration. Dongfang Bingling commented. Not killing me? Is it even possible? Yang Dingtian couldnt help but laugh coldly, You had killed Qin San and the others. Arent you afraid that I would divulge this out? So, what if you had divulged it out? Dongfang Bingling commented coldly, Wait till I have devoured the Mystic Flame and advanced to the Master class. Although I still wouldnt be Qin Wanchous opponent, he wouldnt be able to do anything to me as well. Today, I had killed his bodyguards, but he would still forget it because of joy. Immediately, Yang Dingtian was shocked. She would advance to the Master class after devouring the Mystic Flame? Wasnt she just 20 years old? Yang Dingtian had always known that she was a Martial Supreme class expert. But he didnt imagine that she was already close to the Master class. What kind of fortuitous encounter did she come across? What kind of secret realm did she discover? Go, search for the Mystic Flame. Speak another sentence, and I will cut off your tongue. Dongfang Bingling commented coldly. Alright. Lets go. Yang Dingtian continued. Subsequently, he pointed at the south direction, Go towards that direction. He pointed in the wrong direction. He wanted to draw Dongfang Bingling to Ba Bi. Slap... Who knew that Dongfang Bingling would actually slap him after he had pointed in the direction. Yang Dingtians face was in pain, and his mouth was filled with blood. Shen Lang, remember this. My patience is limited. Dongfang Bingling commented coldly. The Mystic Flame is at the center of Burial Lands. If you dare to point randomly, I will cut off your arm directly. Yang Dingtian was astonished. Dongfang Bingling hadnt seen the Mystic Flame map. How did she know that the Mystic Flame was in the center of Burial Lands? However, from this, Yang Dingtian would no longer be able to give her misdirections. Dongfang Bingling held onto Yang Dingtians neck and landed onto the ground. Subsequently, she rushed towards the north and headed towards the center of the Burial Lands. Immediately, Yang Dingtian felt that he was riding on the cloud. When Dongfang Bingling walked, both of her feet wouldnt touch the ground and would hover an inch above the ground. All the weeds that were a meter before her delicate body would turn into powder as they scattered around the ground. Although the Burial Lands was extremely dirty, her delicate body was completely untainted by even a speck of dust. *** Dongfang Binglings speed was extremely quick. In just half an hour, she had already reached the center of the Burial Lands. There was a big lake here. The lake was dozens of miles wide. Furthermore, it was completely different from the other areas around the Burial Lands. The other areas in the Burial Lands would be extremely dirty and foul-smelling. But this lake was like a picturesque landscape that was extremely beautiful. The soil here was normal, and the grasses were just taller than the knee level. Furthermore, it was green in color. There were all kinds of beautiful and blossomed flowers at the center of the bushes. Furthermore, the water from the lake was extremely clean like a mirror. The sky here was also dark blue in color as if they had been washed by the water. However, it was clear that the beautiful scenery here did not garner any of Dongfang Binglings attention. Speak, wheres the Mystic Flame? Dongfang Bingling inquired coldly. Below the water. Yang Dingtian replied. Where is the exact location under the water? Dongfang Bingling inquired. Im not sure as well. Yang Dingtian commented. You really have no idea? Dongfang Bingling spoke coldly. Subsequently, two rays of light condensed from her pair of eyes and shot into Yang Dingtians eyes. Currently, Yang Dingtian felt a form of energy that had firmly locked onto his mind and thoughts. I have no idea. Yang Dingtian replied decisively. He didnt lie. He truly had no idea about the exact location of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame. You arent lying. Dongfang Bingling commented. Then, can I leave now? Yang Dingtian asked. No. Dongfang Bingling replied, Although you werent lying, you still withheld some other information purposely. Therefore, you cannot leave until I find the Mystic Flame. After she spoke, Dongfang Bingling wore a glove before grabbing onto Yang Dingtians arm. She leaped up and hovered above the core of this big lake. What are you going to do? Yang Dingtian questioned. Before Yang Dingtians voice could come out, Dongfang Bingling had grabbed onto Yang Dingtian directly before charging into the lake. Dongfang Bingling was truly too heaven-defyingly strong. The instant she dived into the lake, everywhere around her was emptied. Everywhere she passed through had been instantly cleansed with an air tunnel appearing, causing her not to be moistened by the water. Furthermore, her speed was extremely quick. In just a few minutes, she had already brought Yang Dingtian with her to inspect the whole dozen of kilometers long lake. Currently, not only Dongfang Bingling but even Yang Dingtian was also striving hard to search for it. However, even after searching all the corners of the lake, they still couldnt find any information on the whereabouts of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame. There was nothing else other than water in this lake. Furthermore, Ba Bi had said before that the whole lake would become a high mountain once the time had arrived. Therefore, Yang Dingtian felt that there should be a mountain hidden beneath this lake. When the Mystic Flame would bloom, it would bring forth shocking changes to the environment. Therefore, the mountain had to be somewhere within the lake. However, Yang Dingtian had inspected it already. The dozen miles long and dozen of meters deep lake was just filled with lake water. There werent any traces of a mountain peak. *** Whoosh... Dongfang Bingling carried Yang Dingtian and charged out from the lake as they continued to hover above the air. Why arent there any traces of the Mystic Flame in this lake? Dongfang Bingling questioned. How would I know? Yang Dingtian commented, Shouldnt you have a look at whats below the core of the lake? Dongfang Bingling looked at Yang Dingtian for a moment. Subsequently, she grabbed onto his hand and dived into the core of the lake once again. This time, Dongfang Bingling didnt travel around the lake. Instead, she dived down after she had located the core of the lake, diving to the bottom of the lake. s?a??h th? ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Both of them reached the bottom of the lake after diving down for dozens of meters. Yang Dingtian discovered a strange matter here. The bottom of the lake was actually extremely flat. This was extremely unreasonable. Regardless of whether it was Earth, the lake in this world or even the bottom of the ocean, it should be filled with muds and deformed debris, and such it couldnt be flat. There could be some area in the seabed that could be flat. However, the bottom of this lake was unconditionally flat. Furthermore, there was a distinct ice-cold feeling when he stepped onto the lake floor. Moreover, this kind of ice-cold energy grew even stronger when he approached the center of the lake. Dongfang Bingling pulled Yang Dingtian and arrived at the absolute center of the lake. Since they were dozens of meters deep beneath the water, it was extremely hard for the lights from the outside to reach in. Thus, it seemed especially dark here. Dongfang Bingling stretched her hand and grabbed onto a lump of water before closing her jade hand softly. She pinched, and immediately, the water was solidified into cold ice. Bam... Immediately, this lump of cold ice suddenly exploded out. Suddenly, the area before Yang Dingtian lit up brightly. When the lump of cold ice exploded, it was instantly turned into thousands of white lights as it shot out. It caused the bottom of the lake to be illuminated like daytime. Under the white light illumination, Yang Dingtian was able to see that the bottom of the lake was flat and glossy. Furthermore, it was pure and translucent. The bottom of the lake wasnt covered by stones or muds. Rather, it was covered by a layer of cold ice. Thats right, solidified cold ice. Dongfang Bingling released Yang Dingtians hand after discovering this point. She sat down above the cold ice and shut her beautiful eyes slowly as if she were sensing something. When Yang Dingtian saw her beautiful as jade body sat above the cold ice, he almost couldnt control himself and wanted to ask, Fairy, arent you cold when sitting above the ice? However, this woman before him was someone who killed without blinking her eyes. Yang Dingtian would never ask this kind of question to provoke her. Rather, he sat down beside her. Immediately, he felt that his butt had turned cold. Not only he couldnt circulate his mystic qi to withstand the coldness, he still needed to suppress his Nine Yang Mystic Meridians. Otherwise, the ice beneath his butt would thaw and cause two loopholes to appear. Just like that, Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling sat above the ice that was at the bottom of the lake. Time passed by minute by minute. At the start, Yang Dingtian had no idea what Dongfang Bingling was trying to do. He couldnt possibly start cultivating at the bottom of the lake even though the ice-cold mystic qi here was extremely dense. Four to five minutes later, Yang Dingtian felt the peculiarity at the bottom of this lake. Did you sense it, Shen Lang? Dongfang Bingling inquired. Sensed it. Yang Dingtian replied, The ice at the bottom of the lake has been rising, and the water here is condensing into ice continuously. Dongfang Bingling nodded. Thats right. The water here is being condensed into ice continuously. Sure enough, you didnt lie. This is where the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame is situated. Yang Dingtian commented, Because the Mystic Flame is doing its best to devour the heat. Therefore, the whole lake started to solidify into ice? Chapter 259: Located The Mystic Flame’s Whereabouts! Chapter 259: Located The Mystic Flames Whereabouts!Yang Dingtian commented, Because the Mystic Flame is doing its best to devour the heat. Therefore, the whole lake started to solidify into ice? Dongfang Bingling turned her face around and glanced at Yang Dingtian, Thats right. Furthermore, according to my understanding, once the whole lake had been solidified into ice, it would be the time for the Mystic Flame to bloom. Yang Dingtian was immediately shocked. This Dongfang Bingling was truly exceptional. It was exactly like what she had said. Immediately, Yang Dingtian couldnt help but ask, Dongfang Bingling, how long do you think it would need for the whole lake to be solidified into ice? Dongfang Bingling remained silent for a moment before replying, Should be around 58 hours or so. Yang Dingtian was truly startled when he heard it. Dongfang Bingling was actually so precise to the minute. Furthermore, the most crucial point was that her answer was unexpectedly correct. The time remaining left to the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame blooming was indeed 58 hours and 8 minutes. How did you calculate this number? Yang Dingtian inquired. Dongfang Bingling replied, According to the time unit of measurement as well as how thick the ice layer is becoming. The calculation was, without a doubt, extremely complicated because the layer of ice wasnt increasing at a constant speed. Rather, it was increasing exponentially. Dongfang Bingling, youre truly a genius. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but exclaim. Dongfang Bingling widened her beautiful eyes and glanced at Yang Dingtian, This is nothing. However, Shen Lang, did you just call me Dongfang Bingling? Of course. Yang Dingtian replied, Otherwise, how am I supposed to address you? Fairy Dongfang? Dongfang Bingling shook her head, No. Its just that it had been a long time since someone addressed me as Dongfang Bingling. Yang Dingtian replied, Now, whatre you preparing to do? Are you going to wait for 58 hours for the Mystic Flame to bloom? Of course not. Dongfang Bingling replied, The Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame is an extremely small flame. Furthermore, the time it bloomed is extremely short. How short? Yang Dingtian inquired, Is it at least 15 minutes? Nope. Dongfang Bingling replied, The supreme coal-seam fire might bloom for around 15 minutes. However, Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame would last for half a quarter of an hour or even lesser. Therefore, it would be too late for me to search for it when it would bloom. I will need to locate the location of this flame and wait for it to bloom there. Half a quarter of an hour? Wasnt that merely seven to eight minutes only? The timing was really way too short. Indeed, it was like how Dongfang Bingling had said, it would be too late for them to search for the Mystic Flame if they were to wait for it to bloom. Originally, Yang Dingtian wanted to free himself from Dongfang Binglings clutches. But from the current situation, he couldnt possibly leave Dongfang Binglings side. Otherwise, it would be extremely hard for him to search for the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame in this big lake alone. Is the Mystic Flame below the ice? Yang Dingtian inquired, Would there be an illumination stage for it? It isnt the coal-seam fire. Therefore, there wouldnt be any illumination stage. Dongfang Bingling replied, It is an entity that devours endless amounts of energy and spirits. It is also a flame that blooms pragmatically and is completely able to bloom at any area in this lake because the Mystic Flame has its own soul and life. Its alive? Yang Dingtian was astonished. Yes. Dongfang Bingling commented. Yang Dingtian continued, Then how do you intend to search for this Mystic Flame? Are you going to pulverize the layer of ice beneath us? Nope. Dongfang Bingling commented, I will never be able to locate it if I destroy this layer of ice. Subsequently, Dongfang Bingling no longer paid any more attention to Yang Dingtian. Immediately, she extended out her delicate body lightly. s?a??h th? N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Suddenly, Yang Dingtians heart leaped because he had never seen this side of Dongfang Bingling before. This woman had always been arrogant and as cold as ice. Now, when she had stretched out her delicate body, it looked somewhat indolent. Furthermore, it caused her curvaceous body to look even more curvaceous and enchanting. Subsequently, something caused Yang Dingtian to grow even more astonished. She slowly laid down and placed her face above the ice surface. Her whole body was doing the most intimate interaction with the ice surface. All of a sudden, her delicate body was lit up in a dark blue radiance. Immediately, this womans body looked even more mysterious and enchanting as if she were a fairy or enchantress. Subsequently, layers and layers of blue radiance veined pattern appeared on Dongfang Binglings body. It started with several of it to dozens, hundreds, and thousands, and so on. Ultimately, countless light rays extended out from Dongfang Binglings body and grew longer over time. Finally, it penetrated into every corner of the ice surface. At the same time, Yang Dingtian could sense an extremely formidable energy form. These layers of blue radiance veined patterns were definitely Dongfang Binglings mental energy. She had actually used this kind of method to investigate every corner of the ice surface. This had truly caused Yang Dingtian to be stunned and gasp in amazement. This kind of method was completely comparable to the ultrasound or radar waves. Currently, Dongfang Bingling was like she possessed countless eyes. She was able to see every corner within the ice surface as she searched for traces of the Mystic Flame. *** Immediately, Yang Dingtian held onto his breath as he watched Dongfang Bingling display her abilities above the ice surface. A few minutes went by. Dozens of minutes went by. Half an hour went by. An hour went by. *** Yang Dingtian had waited for close to 100 minutes at the side. All of a sudden, all the veined radiance patterns disappeared without any trace, and the blue radiance on Dongfang Binglings body had gradually dispersed. Subsequently, she started to float up. It was unknown if it were just Yang Dingtians misperception, but he felt that Dongfang Binglings complexion looked somewhat pale. However, before that, she was already extremely white, as white as the snow. Have you located it? Yang Dingtian inquired. His heart was somewhat nervous. En. Dongfang Bingling nodded. Where is it? Yang Dingtian blurted out. Subsequently, he inhaled as he grew nervous because that was where the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame was situated. However, Yang Dingtian didnt have any expectation of obtaining an answer. The Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame was priceless. Anyone who knew of its location would never speak of it. Furthermore, since Dongfang Bingling had already located the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flames exact location, Yang Dingtian would no longer possess any usefulness. Thus, Dongfang Bingling would very likely kill off Yang Dingtian to prevent any rumors from spreading. Its there... Dongfang Bingling pointed to the Northeast. Subsequently, she grabbed onto Yang Dingtians hand and dived into the thick layer of ice. Immediately, a big cavern with a diameter of two-meters appeared on the ice surface. As both of them advanced quickly, the cold ice before them was all being melted away noiselessly. In an instant, they were led directly to a certain place like a cold ice tunnel. Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling advanced very quickly within the ice surface as they dived deeper into the ice surface. A few minutes later, both of them came to a stop. Currently, Yang Dingtian was already over 200 meters deep and was 19 kilometers away from the core of the lake. Ahead of him was a layer of thin and transparent ice. A beautiful ice room and blazing-shaped ice room was on the other side of the ice layer. The entire ice room was around a dozen of meters tall and three to four meters wide. Chapter 260: Arrival of Dugu Fengwu! Chapter 260: Arrival of Dugu Fengwu!On the other side of the ice layer, there was an ice room with a beautiful shape. It was a flame-shaped ice room, and it was around a dozen meters in height and four meters in width. Thats right. This was the place where the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame would bloom. For instance, when the Mystic Flame was about to bloom, the entire lake would be a completely frozen block of ice. This block of ice wouldnt have any impurities and any space. The vacuum area of the flame-shaped ice room would be the area where the Mystic Flame would be blooming. It could be said that if it werent for Dongfang Bingling, Yang Dingtian would never be able to find this place. It was useless to rely on brute force, and it would also be useless even if you destroy the ice layer. If the ice layer were damaged, the vacuum area for the Mystic Flame to bloom might be completely ruined. By then, no one would be able to find this place. If they waited for the Mystic Flame to bloom before looking for it, then it would be too late. Hence, when Yang Dingtian looked at this flame-shaped vacuum room, he couldnt help but feel emotional. He had painstakingly searched for the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame, and it was going to bloom in this place two and a half days later. Once this Mystic Flame was devoured and refined, Yang Dingtians cultivation would be able to progress rapidly, and he would also be able to forge a true soul sword. He would then be able to defeat everyone during the martial competition that was going to happen in a few months and become Cloud Heaven Citys new Lord. However, now was not the time to be emotional because the greatest problem was just beside him, Dongfang Bingling! This woman was determined to obtain this Mystic Flame. How was Yang Dingtian going to seize the Mystic Flame from her? This wasnt the question of difficulty; it was a complete fantasy. Kill her and seize the Mystic Flame? Was it even possible? Knock her out and seize the Mystic Flame? Was it even possible? Trick her to leave and seize the Mystic Flame? Was it even possible? This womans current cultivation was roughly a few hundred times higher than Yang Dingtian. A gentle flick of her finger was already enough to crush Yang Dingtian. If Yang Dingtian could defeat her or knock her out, he wouldnt even need this Mystic Flame. What was his ultimate goal for seizing this Mystic Flame? It was to defeat Dongfang Bingling! Dupe her? Trick her to leave? Was that even possible? This womans intelligence and willpower was entirely not inferior to her cultivation. Tricking her? That was the same as seeking death. In fact, if she detected Yang Dingtians intention, she would immediately kill her in a single sword strike. As such, the current Yang Dingtian was completely powerless. But was he going to watch as Dongfang Bingling took this Mystic Flame? How could he be willing? How much had Yang Dingtian invested in this Mystic Flame? Furthermore, this Mystic Flame was practically Yang Dingtians only hope. If he missed out on this Mystic Flame, Yang Dingtian would have no chance in defeating Dongfang Bingling four years later. The martial contest for the City Lord position would also be hopeless for Yang Dingtian. He had to think of a method, but he was at wits end. S?a??h the ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. At this moment, Yang Dingtian felt that the current situation was much more difficult than the time he was trying to kill the Thousand Year Night Owl with his weak self. *** You have already found the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame, I am useless now. Yang Dingtian said. Dongfang Bingling replied indifferently, Dont worry. I will not kill you. I dont even think it is worth it to silence you. Yang Dingtian asked, Then, are you going to let me leave now? No. Dongfang Bingling said, The Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame is extremely rare in the world. Before I obtain the Mystic Flame, I do not wish for any more issues to arise. Dongfang Bingling then turned her absolutely gorgeous face to look at Yang Dingtian and said, After I completely refine the Mystic Flame, I will leave this place with you. Moreover, I will give you a reward that you never expected. Apart from the Mystic Flame, I can give you practically anything. Afterwards, Dongfang Bingling gradually closed her beautiful eyes and didnt have the intention to speak anymore. Yang Dingtian might be worried, but he still closed his mouth while his mind was spinning rapidly. He had to think of a method to seize the Mystic Flame from Dongfang Bingling. But it seemed like an impossible task. *** Time ticked by the minutes and seconds, but Yang Dingtian was still at a loss. The vicious sword spirit? It was able to turn Qin Shaobai into an idiot instantly, and it was very powerful. But it could be said to be utterly useless against the extremely formidable Dongfang Bingling. Evil Soul Art? The puppet battle soul in the soul tool ring had already been used to defeat Wu Xingwen. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian had sworn an oath to never use the Evil Soul Art again, as it would ruin himself. Furthermore, even if the powerful puppet battle soul were still around and even if Yang Dingtian were willing to degrade himself to use the Evil Soul Art, it was also probably useless against Dongfang Bingling who had a powerful soul. Deep Sea Mystic Poison? There was still a tiny bit left in Yang Dingtians spatial ring. But this much of Deep Sea Mystic Poison wasnt going to do any harm to Dongfang Bingling. Suddenly, Yang Dingtian had a thought, and he was about to speak. But he felt a cold sensation on his neck suddenly as Dongfang Bingling had placed the sword on his neck. Dongfang Binglings eyes suddenly opened and stared at him coldly. Those beautiful eyes were revealing a dangerous presence. Yang Dingtian said, Why? Are you regretting and want to kill me? The sharp sword flashed while Yang Dingtian felt a chill on his nape. Dongfang Bingling then positioned the tip of the blade in front of Yang Dingtian and asked coldly, Shen Lang, who exactly are you? Yang Dingtians heart raced as he thought if he had exposed any flaw. Why didnt Dongfang Bingling suspect anything before, but was suspicious now? Yang Dingtian spoke with composure, I am Shen Lang. Who else can I be? Take a look at it. What is this? Dongfang Bingling said and turned her eyes onto the blade. Yang Dingtian looked to where she was pointing and saw a small black spot on the blade. What was that? This is a mole that is sliced from your nape, but it is fake. Dongfang Bingling stated. My mole? Yang Dingtian spoke with surprise, But I dont have a mole on the back of my neck. This isnt a mole. It is a Soulless Bug. It is a vicious creature nurtured by the Evil Dao! Dongfang Bingling said, When placed on the body, the victim would not feel anything. When such a bug is placed on the body, within the radius of a hundred miles, no matter where the victim is, the person controlling the Soulless Bug would be able to know the victims exact location. Say it, who exactly are you? What objective do you have towards me? Who is instructing you from behind? Dongfang Bingling placed the sharp sword on Yang Dingtians neck and asked indifferently while her eyes were filled with murderous intent. Yang Dingtian said, I dont even know what this thing is. At least until yesterday, I didnt have this thing on my nape. I am just Shen Lang, and I dont have any ulterior objective towards you. I didnt even know that you would appear in this place. Dongfang Binglings sharp sword shivered, and the black spot on the blade had instantly exploded and turned into dust. That might be the case, but I do not have time to investigate. Killing you is easier! Dongfang Bingling said indifferently, You might have been framed, but so what? Apologies... Dongfang Binglings beautiful eyes turned cold as she was going to slash at Yang Dingtian. Hahaha... Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed in the ears. Dongfang Bingling, the No.1 prodigy in four centuries. The Nine Heavens Fairy who might be the only person who could break through to the Saint class. Today shall be the day you die, and this shall be the place where you will be buried. The familiar and sexy voice echoed in Yang Dingtians ears. In just the short period, the voice was getting closer and closer. From a few thousand meters to a few hundred meters. Immediately after, there was an odd fragrance while a beautiful figure suddenly drifted over. A woman of unmatched beauty was standing in front of Yang Dingtian. This woman was extremely familiar and also extremely unfamiliar. She was very closely related to Yang Dingtian but was also an enemy. Demon woman, Dugu Fengwu! W-why was she here? Dongfang Bingling looked at Dugu Fengwu and sneered, So this is your plot? So, you want to kill me? Keep dreaming. What if I am included? An indifferent and ordinary voice echoed suddenly. There was a dazzle in front of Yang Dingtian as a figure suddenly emerged and stood right beside Dugu Fengwu. It was a young man who was dressed entirely in white robes. He was considered handsome but was inferior to Zhu Hongxue and Qin Shaobai, at most the same as Yang Dingtian. But there was a special charm coming from the eyebrows and the lips of this person. He seemed to be constantly smiling and also constantly mocking. Once this person appeared, Dongfang Binglings eyes contracted and revealed an unprecedented solemness while asking dully, Who are you? Joyous Palaces Gudu Wuhuan! That young man replied indifferently. Almost instantly, Dongfang Binglings sword was gripped even tighter. The supreme faction of the Evil Dao was the Shrine of Extermination, while the Joyous Palace and the Temple of Blood were considered the left and right arms. If the Shrine of Extermination were considered the Hidden Sect, then the Joyous Palace and the Temple of Blood would be equivalent to the Yin Yang Sect and the Mystic Heaven Sect. The status of the Joyous Palace was even above the Temple of Blood. Dugu Fengwu was the princess of the Temple of Blood while Gudu Wuhuan was the Young Lord of the Joyous Palace. These two individuals were addressed as the Peerless Prodigies Duo of the Evil Dao. It was evident that even though Gudu Wuhuans cultivation wasnt above Dugu Fengwu, they were still rather evenly matched. Dugu Fengwu and Dongfang Bingling were considered to be evenly matched, even if Dongfang Bingling were superior, she was only slightly superior. In fact, these two women had fought once, and it was Dongfang Bingling who had a slight advantage. But now, Dugu Fengwu and Gudu Wuhuan were working together. It meant that Dongfang Bingling wasnt a match for them. Dongfang Bingling took a deep breath and said, Since the Evil Daos Peerless Prodigies Duo is here, I am naturally not a match. But if I wish to leave, the two of you might not be able to make me stay. Dugu Fengwu sneered and said, The prideful Dongfang Bingling wouldnt possibly escape without a fight, right? Of course. Dongfang Bingling said coldly, I am prideful, but I am not a fool, and I will certainly run. I just know that after ten years, even if the two of you work together, you will not be a match for me. Why should I bother about todays defeat? Dugu Fengwu said, Then, are you going to give up on this Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame too? Chapter 261: Trapping Dongfang Bingling (Part 1) Chapter 261: Trapping Dongfang Bingling (Part 1)Dugu Fengwu said, Then, are you going to give up on this Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame too? I dont want it anymore. Dongfang Bingling spoke frankly, The Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame might be rare in this world, but I might be able to find another one. But I just have to pay a little price. After finishing her statement, Dongfang Bingling gently put her sword to the side and said, Now, are you going to let me leave or to let me escape after a huge fight? You should know that it is not possible for the two of you to make me stay or to kill me. If you truly want a fight, both sides will suffer. Dugu Fengwu and Gudu Wuhuan had gone into silence. It was obvious that Dongfang Bingling was actually telling the truth. Even if the Evil Daos Peerless Prodigies Duo worked together, they wouldnt be able to kill Dongfang Bingling. Exactly how powerful was this woman? If we truly fight, I admit that I will have to escape with injuries, but the two of you will not have a good time either. Two days later, when the Mystic Flame blooms, how are you going to contest against the other Half-Human Races? Dongfang Bingling stated. Dugu Fengwu was still in silence. She suddenly looked at Yang Dingtian and said, Then, what about this Shen Lang? Dongfang Bingling said indifferently, He is unrelated to me. Dugu Fengwu asked, Are you not concerned as to how are we here and who is the one that set up the trap for you? Dongfang Bingling shook her head, I dont care about conspiracies, I only care about my strength. It is time for you to make a choice, let me leave, or Ill have to escape after a fight. Dugu Fengwu took a deep breath and said, You are right. The two of us cant kill you even if we worked together. If you will ultimately escape, why dont we just let you leave now. Dongfang Bingling commented, You arent that foolish. But. Dugu Fengwu said, We came here from tens of thousands of miles away with the secondary objective of obtaining the Mystic Flame. The main objective... is to kill you! Immediately after, Dugu Fengwu spoke with a cold voice, Hypocrite, if you dont show yourself, we really have to let go of this Nine Heavens Fairy. Dont even think about getting the profit after the crane found the clams. Haha... Suddenly another laughter echoed in the air. Another figure drifted over. It was also an extremely familiar figure, and it was the Northwest Qin Citys Young Lord, Qin Huaiyu. I am from the same Heaven Dao Union with Fairy Dongfang. Hence, it really isnt nice to fall out in front of her. But since Young Lady Dugu Fengwu summoned me, I, Qin Huaiyu, had to reveal myself. Qin Huaiyu said, Fairy Dongfang, if the Princess of Temple of Blood and the Young Lord of Joyous Palace are unable to make you stay even if they worked together, what if the Northwest Qin Citys Young Lord, Qin Huaiyu is included? We should be able to kill you, right? Dongfang Binglings gorgeous face revealed a grave expression that was never seen before. If the three of you work together, I am most probably going to be killed. Dongfang Bingling asked Qin Huaiyu, But why? Why kill me? Doesnt your Qin City want the Mystic Flame? My Yin Yang Sect has been closing one eye in regards to your Qin Citys expansion in the Northwest. Qin Huaiyu sighed lightly and said, Fairy Dongfang, even if we missed out on the Mystic Flame this time, we can look for another one. Ten years, twenty years, we will ultimately be able to find another one. But the chance to kill you might truly be very uncertain. Especially the ability to kill you secretly... this might be the only chance. Dongfang Bingling asked, Is killing me really that important that you are unhesitant to collude with the Evil Dao? Thats right. Killing you is very important and is the top priority of my Qin City and also the Evil Dao. Qin Huaiyu said, For the past four centuries, no one had been able to break through to the Saint class, and it was actually a great thing as the world would be in balance. But you... Fairy Dongfang has absolute talents and might possibly break through to the Saint class in another 20 to 30 years. You will become the only Saint in this world. If that happens, the Evil Dao will certainly face destruction, and my Qin City will never be able to stand on the peak. Hence, for the future of Qin City, killing you is the first priority while the Mystic Flame would only be the second priority. As for the colluding with the Evil Dao? Qin Huaiyu said, Arent there plenty of collusions between the factions of the Heaven Dao Union and the Evil Dao already? Dongfang Bingling merely chuckled and didnt say anything else, let alone pleading for mercy. Shen Lang! Qin Huaiyu looked at Yang Dingtian and said, You wouldnt possibly think that my father thinks highly of you and appointed you as the Military Advisor, right? You wouldnt think that my father greatly admires your strategy and really wants to form an alliance with the half-humans and wait for the future? It is entirely not required because our Qin City and the Evil Dao are already a family. Subsequently, Qin Huaiyu said, For my Qin City to stand on the top, it is true that we need to eliminate the Yin Yang Sect and the Mystic Heaven Sect. But assisting and nurturing the half-humans strength is simply too remote. Why do we want to seek the remote option when we have an available one? Why cant we just look for the Temple of Blood and the Joyous Palace? The Hidden Sect and the Shrine of Extermination are no longer around. Wouldnt it be nice if my Qin City, the Temple of Blood, and the Joyous Palace are to rule the world together with supremacy? Who said the Hidden Sect isnt around? Yang Dingtian said, Recently, the Hidden Sects disciple Wu Ming appeared in Cloud Heaven City, isnt he the disciple of the Hidden Sect? Hahahaha... Qin Huaiyu instantly laughed and said, Hidden Sects disciple, Wu Ming? Fairy Dongfang, before your death, let me deliver a piece of top-secret information. The so-called Hidden Sects disciple, Wu Ming, is actually your fianc... Yang Dingtian! Once this statement was out, Dongfang Binglings delicate body shivered violently, and she revealed an expression of disbelief for the first time. s?a??h th? ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtians heart had also violently shaken as he was about to turn and look at Dugu Fengwu instinctively. Dugu Fengwu was the only person in this world who knew the secret that the Hidden Sects disciple, Wu Ming, was actually Yang Dingtian. Furthermore, Qin Huaiyu must have found out about this secret after Yang Dingtian left the Cloud Heaven City. Otherwise, Yang Dingtian wouldnt have been able to leave the Cloud Heaven City alive. But soon enough, Yang Dingtian stopped himself from looking at Dugu Fengwu. Instead, he looked at Dongfang Bingling. Her absolutely beautiful face was filled with surprise as she said, Impossible. Yang Dingtian cannot possibly know the Hidden Sects sword art. Yang Dingtian cannot possibly know the thunder attribute mystic skill. Qin Huaiyu laughed, Fairy Dongfang, you are the absolute prodigy of this world and have never put anyone in your eyes before, even your own father. You feel that your talents are No.1 in the history of four centuries, but I can tell you that you might not be the worlds No.1 anymore. Yang Dingtians talents might not be inferior to you. Impossible. Dongfang Bingling spoke with fury, Yang Dingtian cannot possibly have such an outstanding talent. Do you have any evidence of him impersonating the Hidden Sects disciple? Dugu Fengwu said dully, I have another identity, and that is the Seven Refined Lanes Third Lady Gongsun! I am the one who forced Yang Dingtian to impersonate the Hidden Sects disciple. I am the one who taught him the Hidden Sects sword art, but I only taught him the superficial moves. I didnt expect for my fake sword art to become the real sword art after he learned it. Chapter 262: Trapping Dongfang Bingling (Part 2) Chapter 262: Trapping Dongfang Bingling (Part 2)This was the first time Dongfang Binglings beautiful face had traces of redness. Her breathing had gotten a little irregular, Then why would Yang Dingtian know the thunder attribute mystic skill? Dugu Fengwu was slightly startled before she laughed delicately, Dongfang Bingling, it turns out that you dont mind if Yang Dingtian had impersonated the Hidden Sects disciple. You are only bothered by Yang Dingtians outstanding talents as he wasnt only able to learn the real Hidden Sects sword art, but he had also learned the thunder attribute mystic skill. Subsequently, Dugu Fengwu said, I dont know why he would know the thunder attribute mystic skill either. But I know that back when we entered the Fire Cloud Devil Cave to forge the youngling sword, I tossed him down into the deep abyss. But I didnt expect him to survive, and he even found the Five Elements Hall Secret Realm. I was even more surprised that the extremely powerful stone giant that was guarding the secret realm who wanted to kill us, had actually treated Yang Dingtian as a guest of the secret realm and allowed him to cultivate in the secret realm. You are saying that he learned the thunder attribute mystic skill in the secret realm? Dongfang Bingling sneered and said, It is impossible. With your Dugu Fengwus identity, how could you not kill Yang Dingtian? Everyone knows that one would surely make rapid progress after exiting from secret realms. He would surely become a threat to your Evil Dao. Who said that I didnt kill him? Dugu Fengwu said, I ripped off his Deep Sea Mystic Clothes and placed my palm on his heart before executing an attack. I only left after making sure that he had died. How would I know how he would come back to life and would learn the thunder attribute mystic skill in the secret realm? Dongfang Binglings delicate body shook as she asked, He had also died in the secret realm? Dugu Fengwu asked, Dongfang Bingling, did you also die in the secret realm before? Dongfang Bingling didnt reply while her beautiful face regained the icy cold expression, Fine. Even if the Hidden Sects disciple, Wu Ming, is impersonated by Yang Dingtian, so what? Even if he cultivated in a secret realm and learned the thunder attribute mystic skill, so what? Four years later, he will still be unable to see my back. I am the most talented person in this world, and I am the only expert that can break through to the Saint class in this world. Yang Dingtian was truly shocked by Dongfang Binglings response. Even at the brink of death, she was still mindful that someone was challenging her No.1 position in martial arts talents. Perhaps... Qin Huaiyu said, But, so what? You wont have the chance to see it anyway as you are going to die today, but you dont have to worry. In about seven months, I will send your fianc, Yang Dingtian, to accompany you. But today, I can only let my cheap uncle-in-law accompany you to hell. You just need to make do. Yang Dingtian released a deep sigh before looking at Qin Huaiyu and asked, Young Lord Qin, your father appointed me as the Military Advisor and made me above everyone else except for Lord Qin Wanchou. He had also banished dozens of Qin clansmen and punished his daughter, Qin Jiaojiao, so that I can be the bait to conspire and kill Dongfang Bingling? Of course. Qin Huaiyu said, However, the reason why we didnt kill you that day wasnt because of Dongfang Bingling, but to obtain the exact location of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame. After you tributed the painting and poem after the battle with Ye Feng, we already guessed that you have the other half of the Mystic Flames map. When my father summoned to see you alone, and when you used all the possible means to lead us to reveal the other half of the map, we were certain that you had the other half of the map. But you have a firm mouth, and even if we killed you, you would not have handed over the other half of the Mystic Flames map. Hence, my father simply beat you at your own game and allowed you to visit the East Parting Grassland to look for the Mystic Flame. By using the Soulless Bug, we were constantly tracking you. We already planned to kill you once you managed to find the location of the Mystic Flame. Qin Huaiyu then sneered, Shen Lang, did you possibly think that my father thought highly of you? Why do you think all those Qin clansmen would desperately try to seek trouble with you? They were incited by me, just so to gain your trust and make you overwhelmed with favor. Otherwise, with the likes of the wanderer like you, who isnt even comparable to animal meat, what makes you think you are qualified to enter my Qin City? Ha, Qin Wanchou is indeed a generational ruler. Such crafty schemes and plots... Yang Dingtian laughed loudly before saying, The painting that I tributed after defeating Ye Feng, it might be similar to the Mystic Flames map, but isnt it ridiculous to deduce that I have the other half of the map just like that? Of course, it isnt only so. Qin Huaiyu said, Back then, we were merely suspicious. But your true identity made us certain that you had the other half of the map. Yang Dingtians heart instantly jumped. Did this Qin Huaiyu know that he was Yang Dingtian all along? But Yang Dingtian naturally wouldnt admit it and had sneered, True identity? Why dont I know that apart from Shen Lang, I have another true identity? Do you truly not have one? Ice Peak Valleys Young Lord, Ren Tianhan? Qin Huaiyu sneered and said, Back then, almost all the factions were gathered at the Ice Peak Valley and were harboring ulterior motives. In a single night, the entire Ice Peak Valleys 1,000 individuals were wiped out. They said it was for a 9th-grade mystic skill scroll, but the world had a secret rumor that it was actually not for the mystic skills scroll but the Mystic Flames map. It was rumored that the Mystic Flames map was attached to that scroll. It wasnt logical to slaughter the entire Ice Peak Valley just for the scroll, but with the value of the Mystic Flames map, it was reasonable. We were skeptical about this rumor, though. But 17 years later, the Ice Peak Valleys Young Lord, Ren Tianhan, appeared on my fathers birthday banquet and drew a painting of the East Parting Grassland that had a resemblance to the Mystic Flames map. It immediately proved that the rumor was true, and the Ice Peak Valley was indeed massacred for the Mystic Flames map. Hence, we were certain that the other half of the Mystic Flames map was with you. Yang Dingtian was stunned. He wasnt able to imagine that the situation could actually develop like this. The so-called Ice Peak Valleys Young Lord, Ren Tianhan, was actually just a fabricated lie for Yang Dingtian to deceive Qin Menglis heart. But he didnt expect for Qin Huaiyu to make a mistake and coincidentally deduce that Yang Dingtian had the other half of the Mystic Flames map. Why? Are you a little stunned after getting exposed, Shen Lang? Qin Huaiyu asked in a cold voice. S~?a??h the N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian sighed and said, Why would you know that I am Ren Tianhan? Did Ah Li tell you? Of course, she did. Qin Huaiyu said, But dont you worry. She didnt betray you and is still devoted to you. But we despised the fact that you were a wanderer who had nothing and wasnt worthy of her. Furthermore, we mentioned that you appeared out of nowhere and was harboring ulterior motives. To persuade us, Qin Mengli told us about your true identity. Subsequently, Qin Huaiyu said insipidly, But you are dying for a good reason. My aunt is devoted to you, but you went to her just to make use of her to obtain the other half of the Mystic Flames map. Say it, how do you know I have the other half of the Mystic Flames map? Why would Yang Dingtian know Qin Huaiyu had the other half of the map? He had naturally deduced it because Qin Huaiyu had written down the wordings on the Mystic Flames map and because he violated Ning Rouer, and that he appeared in Li Tianxiaos secret room. But, Yang Dingtian wouldnt say it out for obvious reasons. Saying it wouldnt just expose his identity, it would also endanger Ning Rouer. Is that still important? Yang Dingtian laughed grimly, You will still kill me no matter what. Why do I have to say it? That is true. No matter what you say, you will have to die. Thus, you dont have to say anything. Qin Huaiyu agreed. Afterward, Qin Huaiyu carried on talking, Originally, my fathers plan was just to make use of you to find the exact location of the Mystic Flame. But we noticed that Dongfang Bingling didnt immediately leave after the birthday banquet ended. Instead, she was indescribably attentive to Shen Lang as though she had some understanding of the Mystic Flame too. As such, my father thought through the night and made another decision. That is to give up the Mystic Flame and to eliminate Dongfang Bingling, and to form a proper alliance with the Temple of Blood and the Joyous Temple! Therefore, we looked for Young Lady Dugu Fengwu and Young Lord Gudu Wuhuan to devise this grand scheme, the scheme to kill Dongfang Bingling. Yang Dingtian commented, Your father is truly incredible and has a great strategic mind. He is even willing to give up the Mystic Flame. Of course. Qin Huaiyu said, My father is a person with great wisdom. Even if we miss this Mystic Flame, we will be able to find another one in ten years or so. In exchange for the Mystic, we can eliminate Dongfang Bingling and also obtain true friendship with the Joyous Palace and Temple of Blood. Our Qin City has profited from this deal. Dugu Fengwu laughed and said, Not everything Young Lord Qin said is true. City Lord Qin might have a great strategic mind, but I reckoned that he was also reluctant to give up the Mystic Flame like this. It was mainly because when I visited City Lord Qin, I had vaguely mentioned that I knew about the Mystic Flame too; hence, your father was willing to give up on it. Of course, that is also one of the reasons. Qin Huaiyu asked, Young Lady Dugu Fengwu, please forgive as I still dont know how you knew that the other half of the Mystic Flames map was in our Qin Citys hand? This is a secret that no one knows. Dugu Fengwu said, A few years ago, Young Lord Qin had visited a secret room at a cliff in the Southwest Continent. That is the place where Li Tianxiao perished. Need I say more? Qin Huaiyu was startled as he said, The Temple of Blood knows everything and is truly incredible. Nobody Qin is truly filled with admiration. Afterward, Qin Huaiyu looked at Dongfang Bingling and asked, Fairy Dongfang, do you also know that I have once entered Li Tianxiaos secret room? How do you know we have the Mystic Flames map? Dongfang Bingling was cold and silent. Yang Dingtian sighed and said, Dongfang Bingling, I wish to know as well. I cannot imagine how did you know I was here to find the Mystic Flame? Dongfang Bingling ignored Yang Dingtian. It is already such timing, and you cannot even fulfill a small wish of mine. Do you want me to become a confused ghost? Yang Dingtian asked. Chapter 263: Trapping Dongfang Bingling (Part 3) Chapter 263: Trapping Dongfang Bingling (Part 3)It is already such timing, and you cannot even fulfill a small wish of mine. Do you want me to become a confused ghost? Yang Dingtian asked. Jier Ashina was a mole sent by me to Qin City. Dongfang Bingling said indifferently, Her parents lives are in my hands. Ah... Yang Dingtian was instantly enlightened and finally understood why she was so clear that Yang Dingtian was searching for the Mystic Flame. She was even able to guess the rough location too. Qin Huaiyu was shocked and asked, Fairy Dongfang, why did you send a mole into my Qin City? Dongfang Bingling said, Your Qin City has been secretly capturing Foxmen, and I wish to know your motive. I originally guessed that you were plotting against the half-humans. Thus, I sent Jier as a mole. I never expected that you were doing it for the Mystic Flame. S?a??h th? ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian truly didnt expect that the innocent and sweet Jier Ashina was actually Dongfang Binglings mole? In her words, she had a very high status, but the daughter of the Foxman chieftain, Xiangxiang Beila, didnt even know Jier Ashina. In fact, when Jier Ashina saw Xiangxiang Beila, she was pretending to be asleep. Alright, enough of the reminiscing. It is time to make a move. Qin Huaiyu said insipidly. Hold on... Gudu Wuhuan, who seldom spoke, was looking at Yang Dingtian and asked, Mister Shen Lang, shall we make a deal? Let me hear it! Yang Dingtian stated. Gudu Wuhuan said, Stand on our side and kill Dongfang Bingling together. How about it? Yang Dingtian frowned and said, What then? Are you not going to kill me if I do so? Of course not. Gudu Wuhuan said, In return, you get to die peacefully. Otherwise, you will make good material. I am truly not willing to waste your body. For example? Yang Dingtian asked. For example... puppet battle soul and many others! Gudu Wuhuan exclaimed. Yang Dingtian looked at Dugu Fengwu and asked, What do you think? This was a statement that Yang Dingtian couldnt bear to ask. Dugu Fengwu said, Good, just like that! Gudu Wuhuan smiled and asked, Then... make a choice. Stand on our side or Fairy Dongfangs side. Yang Dingtian sighed and drew his giant Sky Devil Flame Saber while saying, Although I dont like Dongfang Bingling, I will still stand on her side. There is no need; go to the other side. Dongfang Bingling said coldly and raised her gorgeous and proud face. Qin Huaiyus eyes pulled back as he said, Fine then. The final moment has arrived. Fairy Dongfang, do you have any last words? At this moment, Qin Huaiyu, Dugu Fengwu, Gudu Wuhuan were slowly pointing their swords at Dongfang Bingling. What last words do you want? Dongfang Bingling spoke with disdain and violently shook her sword. In an instant, there was a breeze as Dongfang Binglings long hair and robes were fluttering, making her look even more beautiful and just like a celestial. Qin Huaiyus eyes were involuntarily mesmerized. Immediately after, Dongfang Binglings delicate body burst out with blue light. The surroundings started bursting with endless layers of ice that were emitting blue light. Dongfang Binglings body was swirling in the wind as though she was a fairy that descended from the nine heavens. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian was amazed to notice that the endless layers of ice looked as though they were alive. Countless little blue lights were flying out of the ice. They looked like little spirits with life and were rapidly flying towards Dongfang Binglings body. Even though no one knew what was happening, they could instinctively feel a sense of mysterious and dangerous presence. Dugu Fengwu, Gudu Wuhuan, Qin Huaiyu, you wish to kill me with the likes of you three? In your dreams! Dongfang Binglings charming voice sounded very cold. Her voice had gotten more pleasant, but it was unlike a real human. When Dugu Fengwu saw a thousand small blue light rays enveloping Dongfang Bingling, she had a slight change in expression, Make a move now and kill Dongfang Bingling! With the command from Dugu Fengwu... Qin Huaiyu, Dugu Fengwu, Gudu Wuhuan had moved instantly and formed a triangle formation, surrounding Dongfang Bingling and Yang Dingtian in the middle. The trio then circulated their mystic qi to the limits as they were preparing their most powerful and lethal mystic skill. This wasnt a martial contest that would have countless numbers moves. This was killing. Hence, they had to kill in a single attack. Instantly, Yang Dingtian had a feeling that he was in the middle of a nuclear explosion. Of course, the explosion had yet to start and was still counting down. It was a power that could overturn the entire world. Samsara Art! A black energy whirlpool appeared beside Qin Huaiyu. It was getting increasingly bigger until it had engulfed everything within a few hundred meters. It was as if it were the underworld. Asura Sky! Dugu Fengwu was executing a mystic skill that was entirely bright red. It was like the proud sun and the blood from piercing the sky. It was extremely bright and extremely dreadful. Everywhere the bright redness passed through, the firm ice instantly melted. Destructive Sky Dragon Art! An extremely ferocious golden dragon was revolving around Gudu Wuhuan, and it didnt only destroy the surrounding ice, it had also suppressed the mystic skills of Qin Huaiyu and Dugu Fengwu. Gudu Wuhuan was the only person Yang Dingtian had never met before. He had encountered Qin Huaiyu and Dugu Fengwu before and had deep ties with them. But Yang Dingtian had never seen the two of them execute such mystic skills. It was obvious these were their trump cards. Without a doubt, all three of them were executing 9th-grade mystic skills. Furthermore, they were putting in full strength and were going to kill Dongfang Bingling. Of course, Yang Dingtian was included. In fact, the trio didnt even need to aim their mystic skills at Yang Dingtian. Attacks of such extent would only have one result for Yang Dingtian even if he were a few hundred meters away... to be blown into smithereens. Yang Dingtian held his breath and grasped his Sky Devil Flame Saber tightly. He had poured all his mystic qi into the saber and was preparing to receive this fatal attack. Of course, it was meaningless whether he was going to resist or not. In comparison to the trios attack, Yang Dingtians energy was like the firefly going against the massive sun, it was utterly insignificant. Thats right. Yang Dingtian had many techniques, especially the third rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art, the Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique, was actually the most mystical in the world. But, in the face of this attack, nothing was going to be useful. In the face of absolute power, no technique or secret scroll was going to matter. But he wasnt just going to be extinguished without putting up a fight. He really didnt wish to do so. In a matter of seconds... the trio had gathered their mystic qi to the limit. Yang Dingtian couldnt see the trios figures anymore. A thousand meters of surrounding ice had also vanished. It was replaced by a hell of extremely powerful energy, and it was unlike the human world anymore. Chapter 264: Dongfang Bingling’s Sacrifice! Chapter 264: Dongfang Binglings Sacrifice!Yang Dingtian couldnt see the trios figure anymore. A thousand meters of surrounding ice had also vanished. It was replaced by a hell of extremely powerful energy, and it was unlike the human world anymore. Dongfang Binglings delicate body was floating and swirling in the air. Endless icy radiance was rushing out from the ice layers and surging towards Dongfang Binglings body and revolving around her. They were like countless spirits and fireflies that were much more beautiful than usual. Instantly, Dongfang Binglings body had turned translucent, and she was emitting a mesmerizing and pure radiance, making her look more like a fairy. Dongfang Binglings eyes were still closed, and when she was facing the fatal attacks from the three formidable foes, she didnt even take a glance. Everything shall end... Qin Huaiyu suddenly yelled out and slashed with the sharp sword in his hand. All the dark energy had gathered into one line and was thrust at Dongfang Bingling. At the same time, the blood light that was surrounding Dugu Fengwu had also condensed into a sword. It was a bright red and fearsome sword that was shot at Dongfang Bingling. Gudu Wuhuans golden dragon suddenly made a sky-shaking roar and turned into a white light that rushed at Dongfang Bingling. Three extremely powerful and fatal energies were all shot at Dongfang Bingling. With the cultivation that Dongfang Bingling possessed, she was able to receive one of the attacks. She might also be able to barely block two of the attacks and survive. But three attacks were definitely going to kill her. Boom... There was a giant echo. *** Yang Dingtian could only feel a flash of white light. It was like a nuclear explosion on Earth. Everything in front of the eyes was extremely bright and dazzling. The sudden explosion of the extremely powerful energy was enough to decimate everything and turn everything into dust. Yang Dingtians Sky Devil Flame Saber had contained all of his energy and was cleaved out. Everything in front of his eyes had turned into nothingness, and he had lost all of his senses. It wasnt just vision and hearing, the sense of touch and awareness had vanished as well. In short, everything had vanished. Not only his body and consciousness, but it was also as though the entire world had vanished. The feeling of death might just be like this! *** It was unknown how much time had passed. It felt just like a moment but also like a lifetime. All of the sensations were gradually returned to Yang Dingtians body. He could feel, hear, and see again. But the first thing he saw had shocked him utterly. He was actually unscathed! Furthermore, Dongfang Bingling was actually unscathed too. But her body was no longer like a human. The ice spirits were still revolving around her, and she looked just like an ice sculpture. She was translucent and sparkling, and she was extremely breathtaking and strange. The central lake had been blasted open with a giant cavity. The surrounding lake water had poured inwards to fill up the gap; afterward, they were quickly turned into ice at a visible speed. It wasnt just Yang Dingtian, Dugu Fengwu, Qin Huaiyu, and Gudu Wuhuan were also completely stunned. Dongfang Bingling actually didnt die after the fatal attacks from the trio? How was this possible? They knew about Dongfang Binglings cultivation, and it was impossible for her to withstand their all-out attacks. There should be only one outcome, that would be Dongfang Bingling getting shattered into smithereens. But she wasnt shattered into pieces, she didnt even look like she suffered any injuries. How was this possible? Even a Master class expert wouldnt be able to achieve this. At the same moment, Dongfang Bingling gradually opened her beautiful eyes. Yang Dingtian realized that her eyes were exactly like precious stones and werent like flesh anymore. S?a?ch* Th? N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The only person who can kill Dongfang Bingling is Dongfang Bingling! When she opened her small mouth to speak, her petal-like lips were currently translucent and were just like ice. While her mouth was opened, a deep blue crystal-like fluid flowed out slowly from the corner of her mouth. This was originally her fresh blood, but it was now in a deep blue color. Yang Dingtian understood that Dongfang Bingling wasnt unscathed. Immediately after, Dongfang Bingling looked at the trio and said, Thats right, I am going to die today, but I will definitely not die in the hands of either of you. The only person who can kill Dongfang Bingling is only Dongfang Bingling. Also, each one of you is going to accompany me to death! After finishing her statement, Dongfang Binglings body suddenly emitted a strange radiance. Subsequently, the ice spirits that were revolving around her body had entered her body. At the same moment, all ice from the vicinity was flying towards Dongfang Bingling and diving into her body frenziedly. Dongfang Binglings body was suspended in the air. Her shivering body indicated that she was experiencing extreme pain. Furthermore, her body was rapidly transforming inch by inch. If she looked like an ice person earlier, she was now a complete ice person. Her fair and tender skin was freezing into ice gradually. The Nine Heavens Fairy, Dongfang Bingling, was turning into an ice person, inch by inch. All of you shall die together! Dongfang Bingling yelled out delicately. Her voice sounded just like shattered ice. Qin Huaiyu had a drastic change in expression while he looked at Dugu Fengwu and Gudu Wuhuan. The trio looked at one another and thought of the same thing. Sacrifice! Thats right! Sacrifice! It was said to be the most powerful mystic skill and also the most ruthless mystic skill in the world. It was even more ruthless than exploding ones own qi vessel. Sacrifice was to offer ones own flesh and spirit to the worlds most fearsome energy. For ice attribute martial artists, it would be to offer themselves to the endless ice. For fire attribute martial artists, it would be to offer themselves to the inexhaustible flame. When ones own body had completely fused with the extremely powerful energy, the final attack that was released would be able to slaughter anything in its path. It could even kill a God. If Dongfang Bingling had just exploded her qi vessel, she might be able to inflict damage to Qin Huaiyu and the others, but she wouldnt be able to kill them. But she had actually used Sacrifice, and that would only mean one outcome, that was to end in mutual destruction. Dongfang Bingling might be shattered into pieces, but Qin Huaiyu, Dugu Fengwu, and Gudu Wuhuan would also be turned into dust. Of course, it included the passer-by, Yang Dingtian. Even though Yang Dingtian might die in Dongfang Binglings hands, he couldnt help but feel a sincere respect for her, and this was the first time. In the past, Yang Dingtian only felt hatred and disdain towards her, but now, the resentment had an additional trace of respect. This woman was extremely obstinate and prideful, so much that she would never lower her head and would maintain her pride. The trio didnt dare to look at one another. Sacrifice was the most mysterious and powerful mystic skill, and it only existed in legends. No one had witnessed or used it before. They never expected for Dongfang Bingling to learn this supreme and ruthless mystic skill. Earlier on, she had only used the first chapter of Sacrifice and was already able to block the combined attacks of the trio. Right now, Dongfang Bingling was going to execute the second chapter of Sacrifice, Dark Extermination! Sacrifice had a total of two chapters. Dongfang Bingling had devoured the surrounding energy from the lake of ice and had fused them completely with herself. Once it was released, it would surely have a shocking power. Hence, the trios faces were filled with horror when they saw Dongfang Bingling turn into an ice person, inch by inch. When Dongfang Bingling turned into an ice person completely, it would be the time for Sacrifice to be released. By then, everyone here would turn into ashes. Use weapons to kill her, dont use mystic qi. Qin Huaiyu said. Right now, Dongfang Binglings surroundings were filled with powerful energy. Earlier on, the trios combined mystic skill attacks were already useless, it was obvious that no mystic qi would be able to hurt her anymore. It was why Qin Huaiyu said to use weapons. Qin Huaiyu finished his statement and thrust at Dongfang Binglings chest with lightning speed, wanting to kill her with this thrust. Clang... But, Qin Huaiyus sword didnt stab into Dongfang Binglings body. It had been immediately deflected by indestructible energy. After executing Sacrifice, the trio was actually powerless against Dongfang Bingling. At this moment, more ice energy was frenziedly entering Dongfang Binglings body. The energy accumulated in her body was getting increasingly stronger and would be released at any time. Once it was released, the trio would definitely perish. Run... Dugu Fengwu gave the command and immediately turned and fled. Qin Huaiyu had a reluctant expression. Dongfang Bingling is definitely dead, she just didnt die in our hands, thats all. Gudu Wuhuan said, Lets go! Almost instantly, Gudu Wuhuan and Qin Huaiyu turned and fled as well. Swish... All of a sudden, Gudu Wuhuan, who had fled far away, had shot a cold awl that pierced into Yang Dingtians chest. Bang... Yang Dingtian vomited a mouthful of fresh blood and was sent flying. This Gudu Wuhuan was actually so vicious and still made a move to kill Yang Dingtian before fleeing. Yang Dingtian could see clearly that the hidden weapon was an ice awl. If Yang Dingtian werent wearing the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes, he would be dead right now. Before making a move, Gudu Wuhuan felt that Yang Dingtian was definitely dead; hence, he didnt even take a look and had vanished with Qin Huaiyu. *** Yang Dingtian desperately tried to get up, only to see more ice energy frenziedly rushing into Dongfang Binglings body, and her body was rapidly turning into ice. Once this transformation reached the limit, all the ice energy that she devoured would be instantly released. By then, Dongfang Bingling would be shattered into pieces, and Yang Dingtian would surely be turned into dust. But now, no one could stop what was happening. Not even Dugu Fengwu, Qin Huaiyu, and Gudu Wuhuan could stop it, so they fled. Those three individuals were Martial Supreme experts, and if they couldnt stop it, let alone Yang Dingtian, who was a mere Martial Mystic. Right now, not even Dongfang Bingling could stop herself as her body and spirit were already offered to Sacrifice. Chapter 265: Rescue Dongfang! Chapter 265: Rescue Dongfang!Master, is there any method to stop Dongfang Binglings Sacrifice? There isnt a lot of time left. Yang Dingtian asked urgently. Even though Dongfang Niemie was just a divine consciousness and couldnt actually breathe, but he currently had hurried breaths inside Yang Dingtians mind. It was obvious that he was experiencing extreme anxiety. Dongfang Bingling was his birth daughter, while Yang Dingtian was his disciple that carried all the hopes. These two individuals were the closest people to Dongfang Niemie, and if Sacrifice were released, the two of them would be blown into smithereens. Child, I truly wish I knew how to stop Sacrifice too, but... I really dont know how. Dongfang Niemie said, So, you need to hurry up and run. Right now and as far as possible. What about Dongfang Bingling? She is going to die. Yang Dingtian said. That is her fate. You have to hurry up and run. Dongfang Niemie said. Master, I cant run. If I am in the lake, I will still perish. If I emerge to the surface of the lake, Qin Huaiyu and others will kill me. Yang Dingtian said. Currently, the ice had already spread to Dongfang Binglings chest area and had rapidly reached her neck. Once it spread to the top of her head, her entire body would be transformed into ice, and it would be the moment of the release. According to Yang Dingtians estimation, there were less than ten seconds before Sacrifice would be released. Master, why were the trios combined mystic skills unable to harm Dongfang Bingling at all when the attacks were so powerful? Yang Dingtian asked. Because the ice energy that is revolving around her body is a natural energy barrier. All ice attribute attacks would be nullified and devoured while fire attribute attacks wouldnt be able to penetrate. Dongfang Niemie explained. Then, if I can injure Dongfang Bingling, will it stop the Sacrifice? Yang Dingtian inquired. It should. Dongfang Niemie said, But, the surface of her body is being protected by an extremely powerful energy, you will not be able to penetrate it. No, wait, others might not be able to do it, but you can. Thunder attribute energy can ignore all defenses, especially the ice attribute. Right at this moment, the ice had already spread to Dongfang Binglings nose. There were just less than three seconds before destruction. Yang Dingtian used his fastest speed and all his mystic qi to prepare the thunder attribute mystic skill, Mountain Split. Two seconds later... Bang... A thunderbolt was shot out abruptly and struck ruthlessly on the surface of Dongfang Binglings body. The thunder attribute energy had completely neglected the indestructible ice protection and was buried into Dongfang Binglings body. Even though Dongfang Bingling had extremely powerful energy on the surface of her body, the interior of her body was at the weakest moment. Thus, when the thunder energy entered her body, there wasnt any resistance, and Dongfang Bingling immediately fainted. There was no movement, no sound, no resistance, and she directly collapsed due to Yang Dingtians thunder attribute mystic skill, Mountain Split. Immediately after, Sacrifice had stopped. The ice had already spread to her forehead, and there was merely less than half a second before the release. Yang Dingtian had taken another trip to the doorstep of hell but ultimately didnt enter. He had yet to break away from danger yet, as Qin Huaiyu and the others might return at any moment. Yang Dingtian had to escape from this place immediately. There were three available directions for escape. The first direction was to go up and to leave the central lake. Of course, this direction was not feasible. As soon as he left the surface of the lake, he would be noticed by Qin Huaiyu and others. It was a path of certain death. The second direction was the ice below the lake and finding a corner to hide. The entire central lake stretched over 100 miles; hence, it wasnt difficult to find a corner to hide. But even if he hid, Qin Huaiyu and the two others were absolute experts, and it shouldnt be hard for them to sense Yang Dingtians presence. Hence, it was still going to be very hard to escape their demon clutches. The third direction was to head down, further down, all the way down! Of course, the third direction was even more uncertain as Yang Dingtian didnt know what was underneath if he continued going down. He had a subtle feeling that the further down he went, the colder it would get. However, he had Nine Yang Mystic Meridians which would keep him alive barely. Back at the abandoned mine, there was an unfreezing pool. The coldest part of the pool was a place that not even Zhao Wuji could endure, and he was a Martial Supreme. The first direction was impossible. The second direction was easy, but the chances of getting discovered were extremely high. The third direction was the most uncertain. But no matter what, Yang Dingtian had to make a decision as quickly as possible. In a matter of a few seconds, Yang Dingtian made his decision. He chose the third direction even though it was filled with uncertainty and unknown. After deciding the direction to go, he had to decide if he were going to bring Dongfang Bingling along. Of course, Yang Dingtian didnt have to hesitate before coming to a conclusion. The conclusion was to bring Dongfang Bingling along. Yang Dingtian might only have resentment towards her, but she was still his Masters only daughter. Furthermore, his Masters divine consciousness was in his mind right now. He carried Dongfang Bingling on his back and instantly felt a bone-chilling sensation that caused him to shiver. Yang Dingtian stored the Sky Devil Flame Saber in the spatial ring and took out his youngling sword. s?a??h th? ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The Sky Devil Flame Saber might be a fire attribute weapon, but the fire attribute energy contained within was much inferior to his youngling sword. Yang Dingtians youngling swords primal divine senses might still be sleeping. But as a weapon, there wasnt a huge influence. Grabbing his youngling sword, Yang Dingtian stabbed into the ice below while the fiery mystic qi was released through the youngling sword. Instantly, the ice within the three feet radius from the youngling sword was melted. While carrying Dongfang Bingling, Yang Dingtian dived down while gripping his youngling sword tightly and continued to stab down deeper. As he continued going deeper, he continued to use his mystic qi to melt the ice. Just like that, Yang Dingtian had constantly been diving deep into the ice. The water that just melted behind him had quickly turned into firm ice again. The melting of the ice was naturally slower than breaking the ice and would use more energy too. But if Yang Dingtian broke the ice, it would leave behind an obvious mark that was the same as telling Qin Huaiyu and the others where he had escaped. Once he passed through the melted ice, they would freeze back quickly and wouldnt leave any signs. One meter by one meter... Yang Dingtian constantly melted the ice and constantly went deeper. Over ten minutes later, Yang Dingtian had already dived a few hundred meters into the ice. The ice in front of him looked like it was endless, but Yang Dingtian continued to melt and dive! Half an hour later, Yang Dingtian had already descended close to 1,000 meters. Pfff... All of a sudden, Yang Dingtians body shook. It turned out that he had reached the end of the ice. Chapter 266: Warm Space, Defrosting the Beautiful Person! Chapter 266: Warm Space, Defrosting the Beautiful Person!Underneath was translucent and limpid water. The water wasnt just extremely clear, it was glowing with fluorescence. Yang Dingtian carried Dongfang Bingling on his back and dove into the water. A bone-piercing cold entered his body that instantly froze Yang Dingtian, and he was nearly immobilized. The water was too astonishingly cold. Yang Dingtian couldnt tolerate it as soon as he submerged into it. As compared to the abandoned mines unfreezing pool, this place was much colder. The entry part of this fluorescent pool was already as cold as the deepest part of the unfreezing pool. Of course, this fluorescent pool was also a type of unfreezing pool. It merely possessed horrifying cold but wouldnt freeze; hence, it was addressed as unfreezing. After getting frozen stiff, Yang Dingtian desperately circulated his mystic qi to supply heat before he continued diving down. The temperature was getting lower, and it was getting increasingly icy cold. After diving ten meters, Yang Dingtians entire body was frozen stiff again. Twenty meters later, Yang Dingtian wasnt able to generate any more heat even if he desperately circulated his mystic qi. Thirty meters later, Yang Dingtians body was entirely numb, and he couldnt feel anything. But he was still diving down due to gravity that helped him to submerge constantly. This cold temperature was already colder than the deepest part of the unfreezing pool in the abandoned mine. The coldest place in the entire universe was at absolute zero, but there wasnt a known place in the universe that could achieve absolute zero, it would only be limitlessly close. In fact, the coldest part in the unfreezing pool of the abandoned mine was already very close to absolute zero. When the temperature was extremely low, as long as it was 1 degree or 0.1 degrees away, the effects of the cold would be drastically different. Once absolute zero was achieved, all energy would stop moving. By then, even a heaven-defying expert would have to face death. Even Saints would die in absolute zero. This was the law of the universe. But, as long as there was 0.1 degrees difference to absolute zero, a Saint might not die and would be unscathed. But in terms of pure numbers, the unfreezing water here and the abandoned mines unfreezing water had a difference in temperature of a few digits, but the results were absolutely fatal. After submerging for fifty meters, Yang Dingtian didnt just lose his senses, he had also lost his divine senses. His soul, willpower, and vitality were about to be consumed. Once the soul and vitality were consumed, Yang Dingtian would be dead. But right now, the distance to the bottom of the unfreezing pool was still extremely remote. This unfreezing pool had fluorescence, and Yang Dingtian could see very deeply, but he still couldnt see the bottom. Just as Yang Dingtian felt like he was going to be done for, when his eyes were going into darkness, and when his soul was about to perish... a surge of warm energy had entered his body. This energy was coming from the youngling sword, Ah Chou. Ah Chous divine senses had awakened! (NOTE:- Ah Chou is the name of the youngling sword.) Yang Dingtian could clearly feel that his youngling sword had awakened. Ah Chou didnt know how to talk or how to communicate with Yang Dingtian, but Yang Dingtian could still feel that his youngling sword had awakened. Because there was a portion of energy within the youngling sword that had shaken vigorously, just like it was shivering from cold. Since Ah Chou consumed Qin Huaijus demonized energy, the youngling sword felt as though it had eaten to its fill and went into hibernation. When the bone-piercing chill suddenly assaulted it, it had actually awakened. The awakened Ah Chou didnt have time to communicate with Yang Dingtian. After shivering, it started to supply Yang Dingtian with endless fire energy. The fire energy from Ah Chou was very shocking. Apart from the consumption of fire energy, it also had the extreme-grade coal-seam fires energy. When forging the youngling sword, a huge portion of the coal-seam fires energy was used. The extreme-grade coal-seam fire had been nurtured in the fire attribute continent for a decade and would only bloom with one extreme-grade coal-seam fire. It was evident how much energy it contained, and half of it was in Ah Chou. Therefore, Yang Dingtian immediately felt warm. Of course, this was relatively speaking. Just like that, with the energy from Ah Chou, Yang Dingtian continued to submerge with Dongfang Bingling on his back. 80 meters! 100 meters! 200 meters! 300 meters! 500 meters! This unfreezing water was truly bottomless. The abandoned mines unfreezing pool was only 200 meters in-depth, and the coldest part was at the 100-meter mark. But this unfreezing pool didnt seem to have a bottom, and it was getting colder and getting closer to absolute zero. When they were at the 800-meter mark, even with Ah Chou, Yang Dingtians body was getting frozen stiff again. At 900 meters, Yang Dingtian had lost his senses again and was submerging without doing anything. But Yang Dingtian was still filled with endless determination as he was looking forward to going across the 1,000-meter mark. This unfreezing pool shouldnt be more than 1,000 meters in-depth, and once he crossed the 1,000-meter mark, it should be safe. 950 meters! 960 meters! 970 meters! 980 meters. Right at this moment, Yang Dingtians willpower and soul was about to be consumed. He was really just relying on the final willpower and looking forward to crossing the 1,000-meter mark as it would mean victory. After the 1,000-meter mark, it might be a warm area or a reverse in gravity. 990 meters! 995 meters! 999 meters. At this place, Ah Chou seemed to have stopped its circulation and wasnt supplying energy anymore. S?a?ch* Th? N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. 1,000 meters! It was finally at the 1,000-meter mark. Using his supreme willpower, Yang Dingtian crossed the 1,000-meter mark. But he was disappointed when there was no warmth or reverse in gravity after the 1,000-meter mark. He was still descending, and it was still getting colder. The energy supplied by Ah Chou was getting weaker. Suddenly, Yang Dingtians eyes could only see darkness. He had lost all his senses, soul, and willpower! *** It was unknown how long had passed as Yang Dingtian regained consciousness and opened his eyes slowly. Soul, vitality, and senses had gradually been restored. The surrounding was very warm, and he was lying at the bottom of a circular arc. Under his body was a fiery red crystal that was translucent. The entire body of the crystal was around three meters long and two meters wide. Two meters above his head was the sparkling and limpid unfreezing water. Earlier on, Yang Dingtian had lost all his senses and continued to sink. He was then dropped inside this place from the unfreezing water, picking back his life. This fiery red crystal was emitting an unending supply of warm energy. Thats right. It was only warm and not burning. But it was enough to resist over 1,000 meters of the unfreezing water. After standing up, Yang Dingtian realized that apart from the space outside of the crystals arc, the entire surrounding was the limpid unfreezing water. It also meant that this crystals arc was enveloped by the unfreezing water but wasnt frozen. It was still emitting warm energy. It was obvious how mystical this crystal was. Yang Dingtian instantly constructed a rough map in his mind. Above this three meters long and two meters wide red crystal, it was the 1,000-meter deep and 10,000-meter wide unfreezing water. Above the unfreezing water was a 1,000-meter thick layer of ice. Above the layer of ice was a few hundred meters deep lake water. Furthermore, the lake water was still constantly turning into ice. When all the water in the lake had turned into ice, it was time for the Mystic Flame to bloom. But it was a pity that when the Mystic Flame would bloom, Qin Huaiyu and the others would surely be guarding the place. If Yang Dingtian went there, it would be the same as seeking death. But Yang Dingtian was rather interested. There was only one bundle of Mystic Flame, but there were three individuals. He wondered how Qin Huaiyu, Dugu Fengwu, and Gudu Wuhuan were going to distribute it. Of course, Yang Dingtian should be temporarily safe. At least, that trio wouldnt be able to cross the 1,000-meter deep unfreezing water. After confirming this point, Yang Dingtian then gave some attention to Dongfang Bingling, who was lying at the side. Right now, her entire body was ice, and she wasnt breathing, but Yang Dingtian knew that she wasnt dead. Her body felt like it was preserved in liquid nitrogen, but she wasnt dead. To get her to start breathing again, she just had to be defrosted. How to defrost her? Yang Dingtian simply had to pour fire energy into her body. Yang Dingtian hesitated for a moment before he placed her hand on her lower abdomen and started to transfer fiery mystic qi. The sensation was just like mud sinking into the sea as there was no reaction. After over ten minutes, Yang Dingtian had already transferred over a third of his mystic qi, but Dongfang Bingling still didnt have any reaction. All of a sudden, Dongfang Niemie said, Child, dont try anymore. It is useless. Yang Dingtian said, Master, according to theory, if I transfer fire attribute energy to her, I should be able to help her defrost. The theory is correct. Dongfang Niemie smiled bitterly and said, But, Dongfang Bingling had used the Sacrifice to consume dozens of times more ice energy than her body could contain. Furthermore, her original mystic qi capacity was already 100 times more than you. With your current cultivation, even if you dont eat and dont cultivate to supply her with fire attribute energy constantly, you would still need 30 years to defrost her. 30 years? Yang Dingtian was completely stunned. According to Dongfang Niemies words, it was truly useless. Yang Dingtian was willing to rescue Dongfang Niemie, but it wasnt possible to spend 30 years. Master, what about Ah Chou? Is its energy enough? Yang Dingtian asked. Ah Chou can only supply energy to you. To Dongfang Bingling, it is just an ordinary blood black gold sword. Dongfang Niemie answered. It means to say that Dongfang Bingling will not be defrosted and cannot wake up anymore? Yang Dingtian asked. It will depend on her luck. Dongfang Niemie stated. Luck! Dongfang Niemie sighed and said, Thats right. It will be entirely up to her luck. If her life isnt destined to end like this, she will naturally be able to recover. Otherwise... Immediately after, Dongfang Niemie said, Child, hurry up and make use of the opportunity to cultivate your mystic qi. I can feel that this crystal has a very pure energy, even though it isnt very intense. It might be the fire attribute, but it doesnt have many impurities. By using the Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique, you can refine it into your qi vessel. It will be much faster than you cultivating on the outside. Chapter 267: Identity Exposed! Chapter 267: Identity Exposed!Immediately after, Dongfang Niemie said, Child, hurry up and make use of the opportunity to cultivate your mystic qi. I can feel that this crystal has a very pure energy, even though it isnt very intense. It might be the fire attribute, but it doesnt have many impurities. By using the Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique, you can refine it into your qi vessel. It will be much faster than you cultivating on the outside. Subsequently, Dongfang Niemie said helplessly, Even if you cannot obtain the Mystic Flame, it will be good to have a breakthrough with cultivation. Thats right. Yang Dingtians effort wasnt going in vain. Yang Dingtian took a glance at Dongfang Bingling and said, It will be up to your luck if you can recover. I am going to cultivate. Immediately after, Yang Dingtian sat cross-legged and relaxed his mind to begin cultivation. He used the Pig Slaying Sword Arts mystic qi absorption method to absorb the mystic qi energy into his mystic meridians. He then used the Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique to refine the fire attribute mystic qi into pure mystic qi and guided it into the qi vessel. Yang Dingtian was pleasantly surprised to find out that although the mystic qi might not be as concentrated as the outside, the purity was extremely high. When the outside mystic qi was refined, only a few tenths of the pure mystic qi would enter the qi vessel. But after refining the mystic qi here, close to 80% of it could enter the qi vessel. It also meant that the cultivation speed in this place was over a dozen times faster than the outside. If Yang Dingtian used his normal cultivation, he would need at least half a year to break through by one star. But if he cultivated here, he would only need around 20 days to breakthrough. This speed was truly astounding. Just like that, Yang Dingtian constantly absorbed the mystic qi and used the Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique before guiding the pure mystic qi into the qi vessel. One hour later, two hours later, three hours later, ten hours later... This place was different from the outside. On the outside, only the morning mystic qis purity was relatively higher. Twelve hours later, Yang Dingtian stopped his cultivation temporarily. As he had been cultivating without rest, these twelve hours of cultivation were already equivalent to more than one month of cultivation on the outside. This red crystal was indeed very mystical. He had temporarily stopped cultivating because it was closer to the moment when the Mystic Flame would bloom, and he was unable to keep a calm mind. At this moment, Qin Huaiyu and the others must have already returned to the place where the Mystic Flame was going to bloom. They must have also realized that Dongfang Bingling didnt die. They should have already searched all around and might have possibly searched the unfreezing water below. But the trio should be unable to pass through the 1,000 meters of the unfreezing water. They didnt have the Nine Yang Mystic Meridians, and they didnt have Ah Chou to transfer energy. Ah Chou was able to transfer energy to Yang Dingtian because it had primal divine senses. The only youngling sword in this world that possessed the primal divine senses would be Ah Chou. Hence, this place should be safe for Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and wanted to continue hugging Ah Chou for cultivation. Suddenly, he noticed an anomaly, and it was on Dongfang Binglings body. After taking a closer look, the ice on Dongfang Bingling had actually receded. Thats right; the ice that was at her forehead was now at the eye. It was roughly an inch from the original position. S~?a??h the ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The ice was receding at one inch every twelve hours. Yang Dingtian understood that it was due to this red crystal. The crystal was constantly emitting fire energy. Even though it wasnt powerful, it was very pure. Furthermore, it was an endless supply and was able to recede the ice by one inch after twelve hours. According to this speed, her body would be completely defrosted after close to one month. This speed might still be considered slow, but it was much better as compared to 30 years. *** Yang Dingtian gradually closed his eyes and continued cultivation. Just like that, the time went by bit by bit. Yang Dingtians cultivation was increasing gradually, while the ice on Dongfang Binglings body was receding gradually. Just as he was preparing to sleep peacefully, a sneer broke all the serenity. Shen Lang, Fairy Dongfang, the two of you are really blessed. Gudu Wuhuans unique voice echoed by the side of Yang Dingtians ears. Yang Dingtian suddenly opened his eyes. His body shook violently while he looked around at rapid speed. Could this Gudu Wuhuan be so incredible and could actually cross the 1,000-meter of unfreezing water? The space beside Yang Dingtian was very small, and it was only a few square meters. Apart from Dongfang Bingling, he couldnt see anybody else. But Gudu Wuhuans voice felt like it was just beside his ear, while there was a 1,000-meter unfreezing pool above his head. The entire unfreezing pool was pure and flawless. It was still emitting natural fluorescence that gave high visibility, and he wasnt able to see any figures in the water. Shen Lang, Fairy Dongfang, I know that the two of you are under the unfreezing pool. Gudu Wuhuan sneered and said, It is impossible for you to leave the lake, and we have searched every corner of this lake. Hence, the only possible hiding place for you is below the unfreezing water. Yang Dingtian was holding his breath without uttering a single word. Mister Shen Lang, everyone knows that once the second chapter of the Sacrifice has started, there is no way to interrupt it. But you were actually able to interrupt it and rescue Dongfang Bingling. Furthermore, you have also successfully dived through the unfreezing pool. Gudu Wuhuan said, In this world, I truly cannot imagine who else can do all those things. Yang Dingtian didnt bother about Gudu Wuhuan. At the same time, the Gudu Wuhuan continued, Once the Sacrifice is started, one would have to offer the entire soul to ice energy to gather several times more energy. To interrupt the Sacrifice, one would need to penetrate the energy protection of the Sacrifices practitioner. Dongfang Binglings cultivation is already close to the Master class, and it is imaginable how powerful a few dozen times her energy would be. I, Qin Huaiyu, and Dugu Fengwu were unable to penetrate her energy protection even by working together. Not even a Grandmaster would be able to do it with ease. But you were able to do it. How? Yang Dingtian still didnt bother, but his heart was a little uneasy. The reason is very simple. Gudu Wuhuan said, Because you used a thunder attribute mystic skill to knock out Dongfang Bingling. Be it the fire attribute or ice attribute, none of those can penetrate the energy protection, apart from the thunder attribute. The thunder attribute mystic skills can ignore all kinds of defense. Yang Dingtians breath had suddenly become irregular. Gudu Wuhuan carried on talking, Everyone knows that someone knows the thunder attribute mystic skill in this world. It is naturally the Hidden Sects disciple, Wu Ming. But the Hidden Sects disciple is actually a fake. Then it is very clear, who exactly are you, Mister Shen Lang, isnt that right? Mister Yang Dingtian... Finally, Gudu Wuhuan said Yang Dingtians name. Why would a person called Shen Lang actually risk his life to enter the Northwest Qin City to cheat the Mystic Flames map? This is rather illogical. But if this person is Yang Dingtian, then everything would become clear, isnt that right? Gudu Wuhuan said. Chapter 268: Demon Woman’s Pursuit! Chapter 268: Demon Womans Pursuit!Why would a person called Shen Lang actually risk his life to enter the Northwest Qin City to cheat the Mystic Flames map? This is rather illogical. But if this person is Yang Dingtian, then everything becomes clear, isnt that right? Gudu Wuhuan said. Mister Yang Dingtian, we might have never met before, but you have a well-known reputation. Uncle Dugu Xiao has never praised anyone before, but he always sings praises of you, saying that you are the No.1 prodigy of the worlds youth generation. I originally didnt believe it, but now I am truly convinced. Because you are just a mere Martial Mystic and was able to cross through 1,000 meters of the unfreezing water, it is completely unimaginable. Yang Dingtian still didnt reply. You dont have to stay quiet, you know? Say something. Suddenly, Qin Huaiyu spoke, Sire Yang Dingtian, you are really an affectionate person. Dongfang Bingling treated you like this, and you are still so devoted to her. Arent you afraid that my aunt will be broken-hearted? To be honest, Yang Dingtian, back when you are at Qin City, I really didnt recognize you. Had it not been for Gudu Wuhuans bold guess, I would have never known that Shen Lang is actually Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath. Originally, they werent able to deduce that Shen Lang was actually Yang Dingtian, but since he interrupted Dongfang Binglings Sacrifice, it was possible to come to this conclusion. Yang Dingtian, dont try to hide anymore. Qin Huaiyu said, Once this cover is blown, everything made perfect sense. I know how you knew that I have the other half of the Mystic Flames map. Back at the Cloud Heaven City, when you were impersonating the Hidden Sects disciple, I had a conversation with you and had shown you a few of the Foxman Races wordings. Those wordings just happened to be from my half of the Mystic Flames map. And you just so happened to have the other half of the Mystic Flames map. Thus, you were able to confirm that I had the other half of the map. Hence, you went to West Prefecture City to seduce my aunt, Qin Mengli, to infiltrate the Northwest Qin City and get my half of the Mystic Flames map. I have to admit that you were truly bold, and your plan was truly ingenious. Yang Dingtian, I have never put you in my eyes, but today, I truly have to see you in a new light. Be it your talents or your schemes, you are extremely astonishing. But it is a pity that you are too immature and are still played by both my father and me. You might have the complete map of the Mystic Flame, but we made use of you instead, and we will successfully obtain the Mystic Flame while you will have to die. Qin Huaiyu asked, But I have a question I wish to ask. You are Yang Dingtian, how would you have the other half of the Mystic Flames map? I truly cannot understand. Yang Dingtian still didnt answer. If he were to say that the Mystic Flames map was obtained from Ning Rouer, she would be in danger. Originally, Yang Dingtian assumed that Qin Huaiyi loved Ning Rouer a lot, but now, it seemed like Qin Huaiyu was far more sinister than Yang Dingtian imagined. Yang Dingtian, if you can clear up my confusion, I can repay you by burying you together with Dongfang Bingling in a coffin. The two of you could not be together in life, but you can be together eternally after death. Qin Huaiyu said, But if you dont tell me, then I have to apologize. Dongfang Bingling is the No.1 beauty in the world and also the Nine Heavens Fairy. I yearn for her. After I kill her, I dont mind having fun with this No.1 beauty, even if she is dead. Once this statement was out, Yang Dingtian was instantly filled with endless fury. He wasnt able to imagine that Qin Huaiyu could be such a devil without a bottom line. Do you think that you are safe if you hide under the unfreezing pool? Qin Huaiyu sneered and said, It is true that with our mystic meridians, it is indeed very hard to swim through the unfreezing pool. But do you know that there is something that can allow a short burst of extremely powerful heat that will help us to swim through the unfreezing pool? It is a fire attribute demon core that is more than a thousand years old. It can release enough heat for us to cross the unfreezing pool. Right now, Dongfang Bingling should be completely icebound. Even if she is alive, she is just like the dead. Once any of us passes through the unfreezing water, killing you will be an easy task. S?a?ch* Th? N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtians heart suddenly jumped. Thats right. A thousand-year fire attribute demon core might contain energy that was inferior to Yang Dingtians youngling sword, Ah Chou, but after using a unique technique, it could burst out with extremely powerful fire energy that could really help Qin Huaiyu cross the 1,000-meter unfreezing pool. Of course, Yang Dingtian also had the Mystic Fire Qilins demon core in his spatial ring, and it could release energy that was enough for a single person to cross the unfreezing pool. But it was something that Qin Huaiyu could use, but Yang Dingtian couldnt. The reason was simple. A thousand-year demon core could release shocking energy, and Qin Huaiyus cultivation could withstand it, but Yang Dingtian wouldnt be able to. The outcome would be almost the same as the backlash from the brutal sword spirit in the Cloud Heaven City. Thousand-year demon cores were definitely very precious, but regardless of Qin City, Temple of Blood or the Joyous Palace, they might not have a lack of it. However, be it Qin Huaiyu, Dugu Fengwu, or Gudu Wuhuan, they wouldnt keep it on themselves. Yes, no one would be so silly to carry a thousand-year fire attribute demon core with them. Qin Huaiyu said, Hence, Young Lady Dugu Fengwu has already left this place to make a deal with the Foxman Race. The massive Foxman Race should have a thousand-year-old fire attribute demon core. The treasure she is going to use for the exchange is far more valuable than the thousand-year fire attribute demon core. Hence, there should be no reason for the Foxman Race to refuse. Soon enough, she will bring back a thousand-year-old fire attribute demon core, and it shall be the moment of your and Dongfang Binglings death. Right now, Yang Dingtian understood why he didnt hear Dugu Fengwus voice, it was because she had gone to make an exchange with the Foxman Race. During this time, Yang Dingtian didnt want to think about matters involving Dugu Fengwu. Like the reason for her telling Qin Huaiyu that he was the Hidden Sects disciple, Wu Ming. Or the reason for not recognizing that Shen Lang was Yang Dingtian. But from the looks of things, Dugu Fengwu was much more heartless than Yang Dingtian imagined, putting aside the fact that Dugu Fengwu made a ruthless move to kill Yang Dingtian at the Five Elements Hall Secret Realm. If Qin Huaiyu were able to guess that Shen Lang was Yang Dingtian, Dugu Fengwu definitely knew about it too. But she actually went to the Foxman Race to get the thousand-year-old fire attribute demon core with the objective to cross the unfreezing pool to kill Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling. This woman was indeed extremely ruthless. You are still not willing to talk even now? Could you possibly still have hopes? Qin Huaiyu laughed grimly, Fine then. There is still 26 hours before the Mystic Flame blooms. I believe that Young Lady Dugu will bring back the thousand-year-old demon core soon. By then, we shall have a good talk when we meet again. Afterward, Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan didnt talk anymore. *** There were still 25 hours before the Mystic Flame was going to bloom. Dugu Fengwu might arrive with the thousand-year fire attribute demon core at any moment. Right now, Yang Dingtian naturally didnt have the mind for cultivation. He had to think of a method to solve this predicament. Right at this moment, there was a loud and sudden sound from the unfreezing pool above. The pool moved for a moment as though someone had jumped in. Yang Dingtina focused his eyes to look through the unfreezing water and desperately tried to look further upwards. The unfreezing water might be sparkling and limpid with the slight fluorescence, but it was 1,000 meters deep. The normal vision would only be able to see up to 2,00 meters, any further would be hard to discern. But the sound could be heard clearly. Someone was diving down and was getting closer and closer to Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtians heart was racing faster, and he had gripped his sword tightly while getting ready for combat even though this battle might be the same as smashing an egg on a rock. That sound was getting closer and closer to Yang Dingtian. 800 meters! 700 meters! 600 meters! 500 meters! Finally, when the distance was 500 meters, the sound suddenly stopped. Afterward, the sound of swimming had resumed, but it was swimming further away. It was very obvious that this person was attempting to swim across the unfreezing water, but 500 meters was their limit. Hence, he didnt dare to continue further and could only float upwards. Yang Dingtian didnt know who was trying to dive down, but to be able to dive to 500 meters, that person had already surpassed Yang Dingtians expectations. *** A short moment later, another person jumped down the unfreezing pool. Yang Dingtian knew that they didnt have the thousand-year fire attribute demon core, and it was impossible for them to swim across the unfreezing water, but his heart couldnt help but feel tense. As expected, at the 500-meter mark, that person had stopped and started to float back up. It was obvious that Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan had both attempted once. Both their cultivation should be about the same, as they had to stop at the 500-meter mark. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath. I must do something. I cannot just sit and wait to die. Once Dugu Fengwu brought back the thousand-year fire attribute demon core, it would mean death for Yang Dingtian. Previously, they werent even prepared to let him go as Shen Lang. Now that they knew he was Yang Dingtian, they were definitely going to make sure to kill him. Be it Qin Huaiyu or Gudu Wuhuan, Yang Dingtian was in their must-kill list. Yang Dingtian might only be lower by one position in the list than Dongfang Bingling; perhaps, they even had the same priority on the list. Hence, Yang Dingtian had to think of a method to save himself. *** Yang Dingtian told Dongfang Niemie everything and asked, Master, Dugu Fengwu should only have a single thousand-year fire attribute demon core after the exchange. It means that only one of them can cross the unfreezing water. But either one of them can kill me easily. The only method to survive is to awake Dongfang Bingling in advance. This way, if either Qin Huaiyu or the others come down, they will not be able to kill us and will be killed by Dongfang Bingling instead. Thats right, be it Qin Huaiyu, Dugu Fengwu, or Gudu Wuhuan, none of them was a match for Dongfang Bingling alone. Chapter 269: Hot Blood Entering Bingling! Chapter 269: Hot Blood Entering Bingling!If Yang Dingtian didnt wish to die, the only method was to resuscitate Dongfang Bingling. This world was truly odd. Previously, Dongfang Bingling was Yang Dingtians enemy, who he was going to contest for the Mystic Flame. But to Yang Dingtian now, she was his greatest savior. Master, is there any method that can allow Dongfang Bingling to defrost and wake up in the shortest possible time? Yang Dingtian asked. Dongfang Niemie was in silence. Master, is it possible with the holy water? Yang Dingtian asked. The holy water wouldnt work. Dongfang Niemie said, The holy water might be able to revive the dead, but Dongfang Bingling isnt dead. She isnt even injured, she is just icebound. Then are there other methods? It doesnt matter what kind of method. Yang Dingtian said, Be it righteous or evil, anything. If Dongfang Bingling doesnt wake up sooner, both of us are dead for sure. Dongfang Niemie was still in silence. But this silence had allowed Yang Dingtian to have a trace of hope. Master, you still have a method, right? Yang Dingtian stated, The method doesnt matter. Please say it. Dongfang Niemie sighed and said, There is one method, but I dont know if it is going to work. Because I have never encountered such a situation and it is a theoretical method. Immediately after, Dongfang Niemie started to explain, Transferring mystic qi or lying on the crystal to absorb the fire energy are all acting from the outside. We have estimated that by using this crystal, it would need at least a month. Dongfang Niemie said, If we are to defrost from the inside to outside, the speed might be a little faster. How do we do it from the inside to outside? Yang Dingtian asked. Child, you have the Nine Yang Mystic Meridians, and it possesses very special energy. Hence, I am thinking of pouring your blood into Dongfang Binglings body directly. It might be effective. Dongfang Niemie then said, Do you remember the Terror Manor? Zhao Mus body was inflicted with some cold poison that ruined his cultivation. But you merely used a little of your blood to eliminate the cold poison in his body completely. This is because of your Nine Yang Mystic Meridians that gave your blood special energy. Just a little bit of it was enough to reform Zhao Mus blood. It is just like a seed that turns from one into two, and two into four. Finally, it completely reformed Zhao Mus blood, giving it fiery energy. Zhao Mu then used his reformed blood to expel the cold poison from his body. But... Dongfang Niemie carried on speaking, Dongfang Bingling is totally different from Zhao Mu as he originally has fire attribute meridians and when your Nine Yang Mystic Meridians entered his body, it was very easy to reform his blood. But Dongfang Bingling has ice attribute meridians and is far superior to Zhao Mu. In this world, her meridian talent might just be inferior to you. Therefore, when your blood enters her body, it will definitely cause a drastic rejection, and I do not dare to imagine the consequences of the rejection. Most importantly, Dongfang Binglings meridians talent is just inferior to you, how much blood do you need to provide for her to awaken? Would your blood of nine yang erode her cultivation after entering her body? All of these are still unknown. After the explanation, Dongfang Niemie went back into silence. Yang Dingtian was also in silence. Thats right; it was very reasonable why Dongfang Niemie didnt speak of this method. Furthermore, this method had never been tested, and it was only in theory. The consequences of this method were truly shocking, and most importantly, it was unknown if it would even work. *** Time continued to elapse minute by minute. Yang Dingtian was sitting beside Dongfang Bingling. There were just 20 hours before the Mystic Flame was about to bloom. Right now, Dugu Fengwu had yet to return, but she would return eventually. Hence, as the time elapsed by one second, Yang Dingtian was closer to death by one second. It was very easy to attempt to resuscitate Dongfang Bingling as he simply had to transfer his blood. But the consequences were too shocking, and the chances of success were truly too low.. Yang Dingtian was caught in a life and death gamble. s?a??h th? N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. He had to gamble again. Even though he disliked having to gamble, reality had constantly been forcing him to do so. On the choice to his left, if he didnt do anything and waited here, he was betting that Dugu Fengwu wouldnt be able to obtain the thousand-year fire attribute demon core. If she werent able to get the demon core, they wouldnt have any method to cross the 1,000-meter unfreezing water, and Yang Dingtian would be able to keep his life temporarily. But, seeing how confident Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan were, it was very unlikely for Dugu Fengwu to fail in exchange for the demon core. Furthermore, even if they obtain the demon core, Yang Dingtian might still be killed by them. During the blooming of the Mystic Flame, it was hard to say if this 1,000-meter of unfreezing water would exist. According to what Ba Bi said, when the Mystic Flame bloomed, a mountain would emerge from the lake, and it was half fire, half ice. Even if the unfreezing water still existed, when Qin Huaiyu or one of them refined the Mystic Flame, they wouldnt be afraid of the unfreezing water and would be able to cross it with ease. By then, Yang Dingtian would still be killed. On the choice to his right, Yang Dingtian would have to pour his blood into Dongfang Binglings body. But according to what Yang Dingtian reckoned, the success rate was less than 10%, and the consequences were so dreadful that they were unimaginable. *** But, since Yang Dingtian arrived in this world, he had gone through countless gambles, and none of them had a success rate that was higher than 10%. Every gamble was a narrow escape with his life on the line. Once he lost, he would die. It was unknown if Yang Dingtian was blessed by the heavens or if he was fearless of death. He had never lost in the gamble of life and death, hence the reason he was still alive. Even though all of his gambles had a success rate that was less than 10%, he had won every single time. Then, what about this time? *** Time continued to elapse. There were just 19 hours before the blooming of the Mystic Flame. 18 hours! 17 hours! The time that was left for Yang Dingtian was not a lot. Dugu Fengwu was going to return at any moment. Yang Dingtian stared closely at Dongfang Binglings beautiful face. The ice had already receded to her nose, but this speed was truly slower than a snail. Yang Dingtians breaths were getting abnormal, and his heart was racing with increasing speed. If it were in the past, he might have already made a decision long ago. But ten hours had passed, and he was still undecided. Because the decision this time didnt just involve him, it involved him and Dongfang Bingling. *** Dongfang Niemie didnt say a word and gave all the deciding rights to Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtians heart was racing so quickly that it had started to ache. His breaths were so abnormal that he was almost unable to breathe. Lets do it... Suddenly Yang Dingtian struck out a fist. Immediately after, he stared at Dongfang Bingling, Junior sister, this is the first time I called you junior sister after we fell out. This time, I shall make the decision on behalf of you. Master, I have decided. Yang Dingtian said, I will use my blood to wake Dongfang Bingling up. No matter the consequence, I will bear it. Even if Dongfang Bingling is to kill me as soon as she wakes up, I will admit my fate. Dongfang Niemie said, No matter what decision you make. Master will support you. ... Once the decision was made, Yang Dingtian prepared everything. The things to prepare were very simple, just one jade pipe. He helped Dongfang Bingling into a cross-legged sitting position while he sat opposite of her. He then pierced one end of the jade pipe into the vein at Dongfang Binglings wrist. Right now, Dongfang Binglings blood was in stasis and wasnt flowing. In fact, it was completely frozen. Instantly, the hope in Yang Dingtians heart had dropped further. However, since the decision had been made, no matter what happened, it still had to be carried on. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and took the other end of the jade pipe to pierce into the veins on his wrist. Yang Dingtians blood was undoubtedly surging with power. After the blood veins were pierced through, fresh blood immediately rushed into the jade pipe and towards Dongfang Binglings vein. Chapter 270: Dongfang Bingling’s Heartbeat Chapter 270: Dongfang Binglings HeartbeatYang Dingtian pressed forcefully to block all the gaps. He then used mystic qi to force his blood to flow into Dongfang Binglings blood vessels. Yang Dingtians nine yang blood was indeed overwhelming and had forcefully defrosted Dongfang Binglings frozen blood. He estimated that one portion of Yang Dingtians nine yang blood could defrost three portions of the frozen blood. This was good news and also bad news. The good news was that Yang Dingtian could completely defrost Dongfang Binglings frozen blood. As long as her blood was defrosted, she should be able to wake up. The bad news was that to defrost all of Dongfang Binglings blood completely, Yang Dingtian would have to put out a third of his blood. Of course, this quantity wouldnt be life-threatening, but it would make Yang Dingtian very weak, and the consequences might be very severe. Of course, there was another problem as a match of blood type was very important for blood transfusion. It just so happened that Yang Dingtian had the AB blood type, and unless Dongfang Bingling also had the AB blood type, their blood type wouldnt match. A reckless transfusion would be extremely severe, and by then, Dongfang Bingling might not come back alive. The chances for Dongfang Binglings blood type to be AB were less than 10%. Hence, Yang Dingtians gamble this time was truly a struggle between life and death. But the blood transfusion still continued. Yang Dingtians blood was dripping into Dongfang Binglings body. Of course, there was another problem. Dongfang Binglings blood vessels capacity was very limited, and she didnt really lose a lot of blood earlier; hence, it would be very dangerous for a third of Yang Dingtians blood to be pumped into her body. Therefore, Yang Dingtian did something... When his blood entered Dongfang Binglings body, he opened up one of her blood vessels and allowed a small portion of blood to flow out. *** Just like that, Yang Dingtians blood gradually entered Dongfang Binglings body, defrosting her blood vessels, inch by inch. 50 milliliters! 100 milliliters! 200 milliliters! 300 milliliters! 400 milliliters. After transfusing 400 milliliters, Dongfang Binglings arm and a portion of the upper body had been slightly defrosted. But, just this 400 milliliters had taken up two hours. Furthermore, after losing 400 milliliters of blood, Yang Dingtian already felt weak. A regular person would donate around 200 milliliters of blood. Right now, Yang Dingtian had offered two times of it. (TL note: The quantity of blood in this world seems to be very different. Normally, we donate around 470 milliliters of blood during a donation.) Furthermore, as the blood was lost, Yang Dingtian could clearly feel his energy slowly fading away. According to calculations, Yang Dingtian would need to put out about a third of his blood, which was around 1,200 milliliters, right now, he was only a third of the progress. (TL note: Again. Normally a human body has around 4.5 to 7.5 liters of blood.) *** As Yang Dingtian continued the blood transfusion, his nine yang blood was melting Dongfang Binglings frozen blood with difficulty yet valiantly. At about 900 milliliters, Yang Dingtian, who had never felt cold, had actually felt his body freezing. Moreover, he felt his entire body drifting, and he was losing strength. It was difficult to breathe, his heart was racing, and he could only feel weakness. The ground had already been drenched in blood, and 80% of Dongfang Binglings body had been defrosted. One hour later, Yang Dingtian had already transfused 1,000 milliliters of blood to Dongfang Bingling. Soon enough, her entire bodys blood was also fully defrosted. Over 90% of the blood transfusion had been completed. When Dongfang Binglings blood had been completely defrosted, the results would be out. By then, they would know if Dongfang Bingling were going to wake up, and if her mystic meridians would recover. All of the outcomes would be decided. *** 1050 milliliters! 1080 milliliters! 1100 milliliters! This amount of blood was already shocking. If it were a person on Earth, he would be reaching death soon. Even though Yang Dingtian practiced martial arts, his entire body was bursting with cold sweat, and his eyes were blacking out. He couldnt endure it anymore. He was also at his limit. In fact, when the progress was at a few hundred milliliters, his blood wasnt able to enter Dongfang Binglings body anymore. Yang Dingtian had to use mystic qi to force the blood in. Finally, Dongfang Binglings blood was all defrosted. But it was merely defrosted. There was no circulation, no heartbeat, no awakening. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and pulled the jade pipe out before sealing the wound on the wrist. The entire transfusion lasted five hours, and there were only ten hours left before the blooming of the Mystic Flame. After pulling out the jade pipe, Yang Dingtian immediately took out two elixirs to consume from the spatial ring. One of the elixirs was a 6th-grade wonder spirit elixir that was used for healing and replenishment of the blood and strength. The other elixir was a 6th-grade mystic assembly elixir that was used for the replenishment of mystic qi. The elixirs that Ximen Ningning concocted were truly incredible. Yang Dingtians cold sweat quickly stopped as a warmth extended out from his head to toe. The terrifying weakness gradually faded. He was truly lucky. Within these five hours, Dugu Fengwu had gone to exchange for the demon core but was yet to return. Originally, Yang Dingtian continued to refine the elixirs medicinal effects. But time was pressing as he needed to make Dongfang Binglings blood circulate immediately. After putting Dongfang Bingling down on the warm crystal, Yang Dingtian noticed that her clothes were rather tight. To help her regain her breathing and heartbeat, he had to undo the bindings. Yang Dingtians mind flickered for a moment after seeing Dongfang Binglings absolutely beautiful face. Despite Yang Dingtians constant reminders to himself, that time was pressing and he must not be distracted, but when he saw such a beautiful sight, he couldnt help but admire it. Right at this moment... Bang... There was a sound of someone jumping into the water from above. Instantly, Yang Dingtian was abruptly awakened. Someone jumped down the unfreezing pool. Of course, this time, it was definitely not just an attempt. Dugu Fengwu must have obtained the thousand-year fire attribute demon core, and one of them must have jumped down the unfreezing pool with the demon core. *** This time, they would certainly be able to swim across the unfreezing pool. This time, they were certainly going to kill Yang Dingtian. But, it was unknown who was crossing the unfreezing pool to kill Yang Dingtian. Was it Qi Huaiyu, Gudu Wuhuan, or Dugu Fengwu, who was doing it personally. But that wasnt important right now. Yang Dingtian had to wake Dongfang Bingling up immediately; otherwise, Yang Dingtian was definitely dead. The most direct method to make someones heart beating again was to give them an electric shock. If it were anyone else, they might not be able to do anything, but Yang Dingtian could. As such, Yang Dingtian immediately disregarded the person that jumped into the unfreezing pool and circulated the thunder attribute mystic skill, Mountain Split, and aimed it at Dongfang Binglings heart before releasing it abruptly. Bang... Two thunderbolts struck gently on Dongfang Binglings chest. Instantly, two red marks appeared on her chest. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian laid down and placed his ear on her chest to listen for a heartbeat. The heart wasnt beating yet. At this moment, that person had already submerged to the 300-meter mark of the unfreezing pool and at a very fast speed. With the fire attribute demon core, there wasnt any need to be apprehensive when diving down. Yang Dingtian continued to circulate before he suddenly released another Mountain Split. This time, two thicker thunderbolts struck on the position above Dongfang Binglings heart. Her delicate body had jerked up after the heavy strike. Yang Dingtian immediately placed his ears on her chest to listen to heartbeats again. The heart was still not beating. Right now, that person was already at the 500-meter mark. Yang Dingtians heart was burning anxiously. Time was truly very pressing, and it was simply like a line between life and death. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath. He had two more chances, after the two attempts, that person was going to get through the unfreezing pool. In fact, after the third electric shock, that person would be able to see through the 200 to 300 meters of the unfreezing water. That person would see Dongfang Binglings body too. But Yang Dingtian didnt bother so much at such a crucial moment. Yang Dingtian prepared the third Mountain Split. This time, Yang Dingtian used even more mystic qi energy, and the power of the thunderbolts was also stronger. Mountain Split, go! Two thunderbolts burst out from Yang Dingtians palm that were as thick as a tree trunk. They immediately struck on Dongfang Binglings soft chest. S~?a??h the ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Bang... There were two fresh blood marks. Dongfang Binglings delicate body jerked up more than one foot, and her petite mouth vomited a mouthful of fresh blood. The power of these thunderbolts was very shocking, and the frail Dongfang Bingling was unable to endure it. Yang Dingtian quickly went down to listen to her heart. Right now, that person had already reached the 750-meter mark. Yang Dingtian was absolutely certain that they had the fire attribute demon core; otherwise, they couldnt pass the 500-meter mark. That person was going to emerge out of the unfreezing water and appear in front of Yang Dingtian. By then, Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling would be killed by that person. Thump Thump... Yang Dingtian heard the sound of the heartbeat on Dongfang Binglings chest. Chapter 271: Killing Intent From an Old Friend! Chapter 271: Killing Intent From an Old Friend!Thump Thump... Yang Dingtian heard the sound of heartbeats on Dongfang Binglings chest. At the same moment, the ice energy binding Dongfang Binglings body had silently been shattered. Fortunately, the third electric shock had succeeded in bringing back Dongfang Binglings heartbeat. The ecstasy nearly made Yang Dingtian cry. But that person crossing the unfreezing water was getting closer, and Yang Dingtian didnt have time to feel happy. Firstly, he used his body to block and helped Dongfang Bingling to wear her clothes. Otherwise, the person would immediately see every inch of her fair skin under her neck. He then pinched Dongfang Binglings nose and started to perform artificial respiration. Thats right, Dongfang Binglings heartbeat had returned, but she had yet to start breathing. Without breathing, she would die really quickly. Even though he knew the timing wasnt right, his heart still raced when he was about to place his lips on Dongfang Binglings lips. But in less than half a second, Yang Dingtian quickly inhaled from outside and blew into Dongfang Binglings mouth. Once! Twice! He then started the chest compressions. Immediately after, he started to breathe in again. Bang... There were movements behind Yang Dingtian as a figure abruptly rushed in from the unfreezing pool. At the same moment, Dongfang Bingling opened up her gorgeous eyes and revealed a trace of astonishment, disbelief, fury, and surging murderous intent. Yang Dingtian didnt hesitate and didnt explain. He used his fastest speed to dodge. Dongfang Bingling was lying on the ground and had raised her dainty palms to strike above her. Yang Dingtian used his fastest speed to dodge to the corner. He wasnt afraid of death or a coward, but resisting a Martial Supreme was truly something that he didnt want to get involved in. After dodging to the corner, Yang Dingtian noticed that person emerging from the unfreezing pool with a pale expression at the same moment Dongfang Bingling struck out her palm. Even though that person had the demon core, crossing the 1,000-meter unfreezing pool was still a horrifying ordeal. The instant that person emerged from the unfreezing pool, he saw the awakened Dongfang Bingling executing a palm strike. The persons handsome face revealed an unbelievable horror as he instinctively struck out a palm to contest with Dongfang Bingling. At this moment, Yang Dingtians face was filled with shock. The person that emerged from the unfreezing pool wasnt Qin Huaiyu or Gudu Wuhuan, or was it Dugu Fengwu. He was a familiar person and also an enemy to Yang Dingtian. It was Yan Bieqin, why was he here? However, if Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan werent a match for Dongfang Bingling, how could Yan Bieqin be a match for her? As such, the duos clash only had one undeniable outcome... that was Yan Bieqin getting crushed to death. Bang... There was a sudden and loud echo. The palm clash had burst out with a huge aftershock. Yang Dingtians chest was shaken by the aftershock as he vomited a mouthful of fresh blood and was sent flying. But this space was too small, and there was nowhere to fly. He spun in the air and fell back into the corner. But the outcome of the battle had stunned Yang Dingtian. Dongfang Binglings delicate body was sent flying, and she violently vomited blood. Her tender body then crashed into Yang Dingtian. How did this happen? Dongfang Bingling was so formidable, but she was sent flying? Yang Dingtian didnt have time to think so much as he quickly caught hold of Dongfang Binglings body and couldnt help but feel the impact. Dongfang Bingling vomited another small mouthful of blood after getting caught by Yang Dingtian and immediately fainted. It was unknown if she were still alive or not. S?a??h th? N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. After taking another glance at Yan Bieqin, he had just landed and was filled with shock, but he was unscathed and didnt have any injuries. It wasnt just Yang Dingtian, Yan Bieqin was stunned as well. To be honest, the instant he jumped down and saw Dongfang Bingling executing a palm strike, he only had one thought in his mind, My life is ending here. Yan Bieqins palm strike was completely instinctive. But no one expected that Yan Bieqins palm strike would send Dongfang Bingling flying, vomiting blood, and be in an unknown condition. However, Yan Bieqin was perfectly fine and didnt even suffer any injury. After seeing Dongfang Bingling in an unknown condition, Yang Dingtian recalled that when Dongfang Bingling executed a palm strike, she didnt seem to have any energy at all. Thats right, he had transfused his blood to defrost Dongfang Bingling and had also resuscitated her in a short time. But his overbearing nine yang blood had made all of Dongfang Binglings cultivation to vanish without a trace. Hence, her palm strike didnt have any power and couldnt injure Yan Bieqin. Thus, Dongfang Bingling had only awakened for just a few seconds before fainting again. *** Yan Bieqin took a glance at Dongfang Bingling and at his own palm. His absolutely pale face had regained its color. Yang Dingtian placed Dongfang Bingling on the ground and drew his Sky Devil Flame Saber before standing up and asking, Yan Bieqin, why are you here? Why cant I be here? Yan Bieqin said, I am the Young Lords absolute confidant. Is it strange for me to accompany him to the East Parting Grassland? Yang Dingtian said, Even if that is the case, you can accompany him to the East Parting Grassland, but there is no reason for you to be here. This place is Qin Huaiyus most confidential secret. Thats right. It is supposed to be like this. Yan Bieqin said, But, I coincidentally encountered the Foxman experts that were pursuing Young Lady Dugu Fengwu, and I joined in the battle to help her escape. We have been fighting and running; hence, I followed her to the Burial Lands central lake. Yang Dingtian asked, Even so, you shouldnt be the one to kill Dongfang Bingling and me. Why isnt it Qin Huaiyu or Gudu Wuhuan? Yan Bieqin said, Because the Foxman Races absolute expert had also pursued over here. That person is very powerful and can even contest against two Martial Supreme experts. Hence, to not be defeated, Young Lord Qin is required to work together with Young Lady Dugu and Mister Gudu. Among the four, I am the one with the weakest cultivation; therefore, Im here to kill you. No wonder. Yang Dingtian asked, Who is the absolute expert from the Foxman Race? Yan Bieqin replied, The Foxman chieftain. Because Dugu Fengwu snatched their races thousand-year fire attribute demon core, hence, he had pursued all the way here. Yang Dingtians eyes contracted, Who exactly are you? Why are you Qin Huaiyus confidant? I am just Yan Bieqin. He laughed and said, Why am I his confidant? I have been following him for over ten years. Is this reason enough? Yang Dingtian questioned, Then why doesnt the Qin City know of your existence? Yan Beiqing explained, Because I am my Lords most important chess piece. It is why almost no one knows of my existence. Of course, the function of this chess piece is something you will soon understand. Then what is your objective for getting close to Qin Mengli? Yang Dingtian asked. Yan Bieqin said, Qin Citys Lord dotes on his younger sister. Thus, he gave her a shocking amount of wealth. However, Young Lord wants to get a share of this wealth for himself. Is this reason enough? Yang Dingtian nodded. This reason was very ample. What is your cultivation? Yang Dingtian asked. 1-star Martial Supreme. Yan Bieqin answered. Yang Dingtian was appalled as he didnt expect this person to be so formidable. Yang Dingtian had guesses about this mysterious Yan Bieqin previously. But he merely guessed that Yan Bieqin was a Martial Ancestor and never expected Yan Bieqin to be a 1-star Martial Supreme. This person might be far inferior to Dongfang Bingling, but to kill Yang Dingtian, it was as easy as blowing dust. Moreover, Yang Dingtian had exhausted most of his mystic qi and had lost a third of his blood. Even if Yang Dingtians opponent were a 9-star Martial Mystic, he wouldnt be a match at all. Right now, Yang Dingtians opponent was a 1-star Martial Supreme, and his cultivation was several times superior to Yang Dingtian. It was truly a battle that didnt have any possibility of resistance. To be truthful, even if Yang Dingtian took the risk of being annihilated to attack Yan Bieqin with the vicious sword spirit, it still wouldnt do any harm to Yan Bieqin. Of course, Yang Dingtian could also use the Evil Soul Art, but the soul tool no longer had the powerful puppet battle soul. There was only one method for Yang Dingtian to deal with this person. The method was one that Yang Dingtian had used to deal with Wu Xingwen. Shall we make a deal? Yang Dingtian asked slowly. Yang Dingtian was almost certain that no evil person would be able to resist the temptation of the Evil Soul Art. Back then, Wu Yingwen was turned into an idiot after getting backlashed by the modified Soul Burst Art. Right now, it could also be used on Yan Bieqin. Even though he was Qin Huaiyus confidant, Yang Dingtian could still feel his exuberant ambition. Since there was no longer any powerful puppet battle soul in the soul tool ring, Yang Dingtian would have to modify the Soul Assimilating Art. He would need to make Yan Bieqin extract his own soul. Of course, this was extremely difficult. Unlike the time with Wu Xingwen, Yang Dingtian simply had to show Wu Xingwen the power of the Soul Assimilating Art before convincing him to use the modified Soul Burst Art. Right now, he wanted to make Yan Bieqin use the modified Soul Assimilating Art to extract his own soul. It was probably going to be very difficult. Yang Bieqing was probably much more crafty than Wu Xingwen too. When Yang Dingtian spoke about making a deal, Yan Bieqin didnt respond. Yang Dingtian repeated once more, Yan Bieqin, shall we make a deal? A deal? Yan Bieqin sneered and said, Are you going to use the soul tool ring or the Evil Soul Art to entice me and deal with me by using the method you used against Wu Xingwen? Are you trying to make me turn myself into an idiot? Do you think I am that foolish? Yang Dingtian! Yang Dingtian was speechless. He had yet to even speak of his plan, but it had been seen through by Yan Bieqin. Yang Dingtian had never encountered such a situation before. It seemed like Yan Bieqin was indeed Qin Huaiyus trusted confidant as he even knew of such a confidential incident that involved Wu Xingwen. Furthermore, it seemed like Dugu Fengwu and Qin Huaiyus relationship had reached a certain extent. Wu Xingwens incident and Yang Dingtian knowing the Evil Soul Art was something that only Dugu Fengwu knew. She had actually divulged such a secret to Qin Huaiyu too. Yang Dingtian let out a helpless laugh and said, It seems like Young Lord Qin and Demon Woman Dugu have a relationship that is far more intimate than I imagined. Chapter 272: “Fight Then” Yan Bieqin, Deal! Chapter 272: Fight Then Yan Bieqin, Deal!Yang Dingtian let out a helpless laugh and said, It seems like Young Lord Qin and Demon Woman Dugu have a relationship that is far more intimate than I imagined. Of course. Yan Bieqin said, For Qin Citys great undertaking, Young Lord has given up the Mystic Flame which only appears once every two centuries to Young Lady Dugu. Do you think they arent intimate? Very generous indeed. Yang Dingtian said. Originally, Yang Dingtian was still looking forward to the trio having internal strife over the Mystic Flame. It was impossible now as they had already decided who would obtain the Mystic Flame. The generous person wasnt just Qin Huaiyu, Gudu Wuhuan was also very generous as he was actually willing to give up a supreme treasure like the Mystic Flame. But it was obvious that Qin City wasnt going to conduct an unprofitable business. If they were willing to give up the Mystic Flame, they must have obtained something extremely precious in return. *** Alright, enough talk, time for the proper business. Yan Bieqin said, You and I might be rivals in love, but we are still acquaintances. I shall let you choose... Do I kill you first and kill Dongfang Bingling later? Or do I kill Dongfang Bingling first, then kill you later? Yang Dingtian revealed a helpless smile and said, It is better for you to kill me first. You are indeed a hero. Yan Bieqin smiled and slowly drew his sword. Thats right. Before you make your move, I have a request. Yang Dingtian said. Please speak. Yan Bieqin replied. Please dont do anything disrespectful to Dongfang Binglings body. Let her die with her purity. Yang Dingtian requested. Yan Bieqin said, Dont worry, even though I am coveting for Fairy Dongfangs body, I cherish my life more. If Young Lord knew that I had a taste of Dongfang Bingling, death would be waiting for me. Young Lord is very possessive, and you should know it too. Then I have nothing to worry about. Yang Dingtian slowly lifted his Sky Devil Flame Saber and circulated the Devil Flame Saber Art. Yang Dingtians opponent was a 1-star Martial Supreme while he was only a 1-star Martial Mystic. It wasnt even necessary to fight. But even if Yang Dingtian were to die, he wasnt willing to die in such a cowardly manner. Come then, Yan Bieqin! Yang Dingtian yelled out. Immediately after, the Sky Devil Flame Saber blazed with fire. After circulating all his mystic qi, the entire Sky Devil Flame Saber was bursting with dazzling radiance. Yan Bieqins hand clenched gently, causing the sharp sword to turn blood-red and translucent while it burst out with overwhelming, mountain-like energy. Thats right, he was a Martial Supreme, and just the motion of clenching the sword had given off a mountain-like pressure. Yang Dingtian, who was wielding the Sky Devil Flame Saber, nearly couldnt breathe. Devil Flame Saber Arts third move, Devilish Breaking Prison Saber! This was a move that Yang Dingtian had never used before. However, this time, he didnt hold back anything and poured all his mystic qi into the Sky Devil Flame Saber. Even if he had to die in combat, he was going to exert his full force. S?a??h the n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Come on, then! Yang Dingtian yelled out and cleaved with the Sky Devil Flame Saber. Swish... The entire space was turned into blood-red darkness. It felt as though the entire place had turned into hell. The giant dark red flaming saber was cleaving straight at Yan Bieqins head. This was the limit of Yang Dingtians mystic qi and energy. If Yang Dingtian were fighting against a 5-star Martial Mystic who was four levels superior to Yang Dingtian, the 5-star Martial Mystic would still be either killed or severely injured by this move, Devilish Breaking Prison Saber. When Yang Dingtian had exerted all his strength in this cleave, Yan Bieqins sword had also slashed down lightly. His sword had burst forth with purplish-red radiance. Subsequently, Yang Dingtians dark red flaming saber had clashed hard with Yan Bieqins purple radiance. From the looks of it, Yang Dingtians flaming blade was very shocking and had taken up the entire combat space. It was just like the hell that was going to consume everything. In comparison, Yan Bieqins purple sword radiance was merely the thickness of a finger and two to three meters long. But, when the horrific dark red flaming saber encountered the purple sword radiance, it was like hot water going through thick snow. The flaming saber was instantly dissipated and vanished without a trace. Yang Dingtians all-out saber attack, the strongest move of the Devil Flame Saber Art, was neutralized into nothingness by Yan Bieqin with a gentle sword slash. This was an outcome that Yang Dingtian had already imagined. But when he witnessed it, he couldnt help but get shocked. It was at this moment, the difference of strength between Yan Bieqin and Yang Dingtian was worlds apart. After the purple sword radiance destroyed Yang Dingtians mystic skill, it was nearly unscathed and continued to slash towards Yang Dingtians head. Even though Yang Dingtians mystic qi was already almost empty, he still desperately circulated everything he had to execute the Fire Transformation Art and wanted to neutralize Yan Bieqins sword attack. Of course, the current Yang Dingtians Fire Transformation Art should be able to neutralize a twentieth of Yan Bieqins sword attack, but it was the same as doing nothing. When it slashed at Yang Dingtians body, there was only one outcome... utter devastation and horrible death. Of course, it might feel strange... Why didnt Yang Dingtian use the thunder attribute mystic skill? Thunder attribute mystic skill might be astounding and could neglect defenses, but the lethal power was inferior to the Devil Flame Saber Art. It was almost in an instant! Yan Bieqins sword radiance had reached Yang Dingtians head. Yang Dingtian widened his eyes and slashed with the Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique. Farewell, Yanyan. Farewell, Ningning. Farewell, everyone who cares for me. I have disappointed all of you. Am I unresigned? Or am I absolved? Countless thoughts rushed into his mind. He was about to turn into ashes and die horribly. He had numerous thoughts in his mind, but he didnt wish to think about anything and simply waited for the final moment to arrive. The sword radiance slashed at Yang Dingtians head and burst with radiance. The narrow space was filled with blinding radiance. *** Yang Dingtian wasnt dead yet. That lethal sword radiance vanished after reaching his head. Afterward, the entire space was in silence. Yang Dingtian had escaped death, but he didnt have any delighted expression at all. Why? Yang Dingtian asked slowly. Yan Bieqin shrugged his shoulders. Why didnt you kill me? Yang Dingtian asked again. Yan Bieqin said, It isnt the time yet. I cannot kill you right now. It isnt the time yet? Yang Dingtian asked. You will know when it is the right time. Yan Bieqin said, By then, you will also know my true identity. Yang Dingtian stated, But if you dont kill me, your Young Lord wouldnt let you go. Yan Bieqin said, He... didnt have the intention to let me live either. Do you know, the fire attribute demon core that I used is merely 500-years-old. I can pass through the 1,000-meter unfreezing pool to kill you, but the demon core has already used all its energy. I will not be able to leave this place. Yang Dingtian was astonished and immediately nodded, That is indeed Qin Huaiyus style of work. Even if Yan Bieqin were Qin Huaiyus trusted aide, the killing of Dongfang Bingling and colluding with the Evil Dao were Qin Huaiyus greatest secrets. Right now, Yan Bieqin knew these secrets; hence, he had to die. As such, Yan Bieqin had to come down with the 500-years-old demon core. After killing Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling, he would be trapped here forever. Even if he tried to leave, he would have to face death. He was Qin Huaiyus trusted aide and had followed Qin Huaiyu for over ten years, but it was obvious that Qin Huaiyu didnt trust anyone. Yan Bieqin stated, I have been hiding by Qin Huaiyus side and originally planned to wait until I am powerful enough to do everything I want and until I can take back everything that belongs to me before I reveal my true self. But I dont need to do that anymore. Since he wants me dead, I can return to being myself in advance. Hence, I shall let you off and not kill you today. Yan Bieqin laughed and said, As such, Yang Dingtian, you owe me a favor. Yang Dingtian said, What about Dongfang Bingling? Her? Yan Bieqin said, If I am not killing you, all the more I wouldnt kill her. If I keep her alive, she will be able to slaughter the entire Qin City, wouldnt that be better? Even though Yan Bieqins tone was indifferent, Yang Dingtian could still hear his deep-rooted hatred towards Qin City. Immediately, Yang Dingtian couldnt help but get even more curious. Who exactly was Yan Bieqin? Why would he serve as Qin Huaiyus slave for over ten years but also hate Qin City? There was also his statement: Until I can take back everything that belongs to me. All this pointed to the fact that Yan Bieqin had a very special identity. Who exactly could he be? Yes, I owe you a favor. Yang Dingtian said seriously. Yan Bieqin smiled and said, By then, you will need to repay the favor, and it will be very significant and immense. Yang Dingtian replied, By then, I will do it. But, if you dont kill me, what are you planning to do next? How are you going to escape? You will give me something. Yan Bieqin responded. What thing? Yang Dingtian asked. Demon core, the Mystic Fire Qilins demon core. Yan Bieqin said, The Terror Manors Zhao Mu handed his fathers failed soul sword to you. There is a brutal sword soul inside. That sword is embedded with the Mystic Fire Qilins demon core. The demon core might have been damaged during the battle between you and Qin Shaobai, but it should still be usable and is enough for me to cross the 1,000-meter unfreezing water to leave this place. Yang Dingtians eyes had shrunk as he thought about it. But would Yan Bieqin kill Yang Dingtian after he handed over the Mystic Fire Qilins demon core? Earlier on, Yan Bieqin didnt kill Yang Dingtian because he wanted the demon core. Alright, I will give it to you. Yang Dingtian said. He didnt really hesitate and immediately agreed. Many thanks. Yan Bieqin said. Can you turn around? I need to take out the Mystic Fire Qilins demon core. Yang Dingtian stated. Okay. Yan Bieqin immediately turned around and even closed his eyes. Yang Dingtian had also turned around and took out the Night Owl Strange Blade from the spatial ring. Two demon cores were stuck together tightly at the hilt of the giant blade. They were the 1,000-year Night Owls demon core and the Mystic Fire Qilins demon core. Yang Dingtian took out his youngling sword and slashed at the Night Owl Strange Blade. Chapter 273: In Order to Obtain the Mystic Flame, Gamble! Chapter 273: In Order to Obtain the Mystic Flame, Gamble!Yang Dingtian took out his youngling sword and used it to slash at the Night Owl Strange Blade. The Night Owl Strange Blade was almost indestructible, and there might not be any weapon that could damage it, except for Yang Dingtians youngling sword, which might be the only peerless-grade youngling sword in this world. There was a loud bang as the two demon cores were instantly removed by the youngling sword and were rolling on the ground. Aooo... Instantly, the Night Owl Strange Blade let out a strange calling that was like a monster and also like a malicious spirit. Within the space, there was a burst of energy. It was due to the separation of the demon cores from the sword. The brutal sword soul had been completely destroyed. Originally, Yang Dingtian intended to forge a true soul sword before using the brutal sword soul to feed his sword soul. But now, Yang Dingtian couldnt and had to destroy this sword soul. Afterward, Yang Dingtian stored the Night Owl Strange Blade into the spatial ring. But there was some trouble now. Yang Dingtian could separate the demon cores from the blade, but the two demon cores were intertwined. One existed along with the other, and not even the youngling sword could separate them. Putting aside the fact if Yang Dingtian could split the demon cores with a slash, even if he could, the demon cores would be shattered. A shattered demon core would be useless. Master, how am I going to split these two demon cores apart? Yang Dingtian inquired. Dongfang Niemie said, Its very simple, just put it inside the unfreezing pool. Yang Dingtian was startled at first before he put the strange-shaped dual demon cores into the unfreezing pool. This was the deepest part of the unfreezing pool and the place with the lowest temperature that was extremely close to absolute zero. Once the two demon cores entered the unfreezing pool, they shook and contracted before splitting apart. It was really very simple, and there wasnt even a need to use an ounce of strength to split apart the demon cores that were tightly fused instantly. After storing the thousand-year Night Owls demon core into the spatial ring, he held the Mystic Fire Qilins demon core and handed it to Yan Bieqin, Take it then. Yan Bieqin turned around and received the Mystic Fire Qilins demon core while nodding, Many thanks. Yang Dingtian stated, But this demon cores energy has been depleted significantly and has less than half of its original energy. It is enough. Yan Bieqin responded. Yan Bieqin then placed the Mystic Fire Qilins demon core in his belongings before he asked, I will need to wait until the moment when the Mystic Flame blooms before exiting. I will only be able to succeed in escaping at that moment. You wouldnt mind staying with me for another eight hours, right? Yang Dingtian shook his head and said, I dont mind. Many thanks, then. Yan Bieqin then closed his eyes in a cross-legged position while regulating his breaths. Boom Boom Boom... Suddenly, loud echoes came from above while the unfreezing pool shook vigorously. Even the crystal below the unfreezing pool was shaking. It felt as though the sky and ground were shaking above. They have finally started fighting. Yan Bieqin said. They was definitely referring to the Foxman chieftain, Qin Huaiyu, Dugu Fengwu, and Gudu Wuhuan. After speaking, Yan Bieqin let out a sneer before continuing the mystic qi absorption and cultivation. This was an absolute cultivation environment. After cultivating for a moment, Yan Bieqins eyebrows raised up and revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. He then silently resumed without saying anything else. Boom Boom Boom... Loud explosions had constantly echoed while the entire place was shaking, causing the unfreezing water to surge intensively. It was obvious that the battle above was very intense. The Foxman chieftain was indeed formidable and could fight against three. After almost a dozen minutes later, all the loud echoes had stopped, and so did the trembling. The battle had ended, but no one knew which side had won. But after the battle had ended, Yan Bieqin still didnt open his eyes and was still cultivating and absorbing the mystic qi. Yang Dingtian placed Dongfang Bingling on his legs and allowed her to drink a mouthful of holy water with his back facing Yan Bieqin. He then fed her a wonder spirit elixir. Finally, her heartbeat and blood circulation were back to normal while she regained her breathing cycles too. The holy water was indeed incredible and had pulled Dongfang Bingling back from the gates of hell. But, she was still unconscious. After making sure that Dongfang Bingling was fine, Yang Dingtian closed his eyes and started the mystic qi absorption. There were still eight hours before the blooming of the Mystic Flame. *** Time had started to elapse, second by second again. Yang Dingtian, the unconscious Dongfang Bingling, and Yan Bieqin were squeezing in this narrow space. It was really unknown if Yang Dingtian were together with a wolf or a human. One hour! Two hours! Three hours! ... Seven hours! Seven and a half hours! There was less than half an hour left before the blooming of the Mystic Flame. Boom Boom Boom... Loud explosions echoed from above suddenly. It turned out that the battle had yet to end, and it was just a temporary pause. Now that the timing for the Mystic Flames blooming was drawing near, the battle had resumed. Furthermore, the battle seemed to be even more intense than earlier. Just as the battle was at the most intensive moment and sounded the most chaotic, Yan Bieqin suddenly opened his eyes. Yang Dingtian had also opened his eyes immediately while his heart tensed up. It was this moment that would decide if Yan Bieqin would break the promise and kill Yang Dingtian. Farewell, I hope to see you again. Yan Bieqin stood up and took out the Mystic Fire Qilins demon core. He poured in some mystic qi and circulated a certain technique. Almost instantly, that demon core burst out with resplendent radiance while thin cracks appeared on the demon core. Yang Dingtian could feel the surrounding air heating up as though the temperature rose by almost 100 degrees. Furthermore, it was still increasing, and it felt as if the air was burning. Without a doubt, Yan Bieqin had used a certain technique to make the fire energy within the demon core to burst out abnormally. Remember, Yang Dingtian, giving me this demon core isnt included inside the favor. You still owe me a very big favor. Immediately after, Yan Bieqin held onto the bursting demon core and rushed into the unfreezing pool. Using the energy from the Mystic Fire Qilins demon core, he floated upwards rapidly. He kept his promise and didnt kill Yang Dingtian. In the transparent unfreezing water, Yang Dingtian saw Yan Bieqin getting further until he couldnt see Yan Bieqin anymore. The battle above had yet to end. The loud echoes might not be as concentrated anymore, but the intensity of the battle and the power was even more astonishing. *** After Yan Bieqin left, Yang Dingtian was now in a struggle. The battle above was now in chaos. Without a doubt, Yan Bieqin had chosen this moment to emerge not only to escape but also to see if he could obtain the Mystic Flame through trickery. Yan Bieqin might have let go of Yang Dingtian without killing him, but Yan Bieqin was still harboring extreme ambition. How could he give up such an excellent opportunity to obtain the Mystic Flame? Should Yang Dingtian take the opportunity to do so as well? From the looks of the situation, Yang Dingtian was unrelated to the contest for the Mystic Flame. But Yang Dingtian had gone through a lot of hardships to obtain this Mystic Flame. He was rather reluctant to give up just like this. With the strength of a 1-star Martial Supreme, it was reasonable for Yan Bieqin to take advantage of this situation. But Yang Dingtian was a mere 1-star Martial Mystic, and it was simply a pipedream for him to obtain the Mystic Flame. Most importantly, even if he managed to obtain the Mystic Flame by chance, how was he going to escape? Could he avoid so many Martial Supreme experts and even the pursuit of a Master? Yang Dingtian was certain that if he obtained the Mystic Flame, be it Qin Huaiyu or the Foxman chieftain, they would give up the battle and would pursue Yang Dingtian. But Yang Dingtian was unwilling to retreat at the sight of difficulty and to watch as someone else devoured the Mystic Flame. After taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian decided... to gamble! Thats right, Yang Dingtian had gambled by transfusing his blood to Dongfang Bingling in exchange for her awakening. Yang Dingtian might have lost the gamble, but he still kept his life in the end. S?a??h the N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The success rate earlier was less than 10%. Right now, the success rate of obtaining the Mystic Flame was going to be even lower. But Yang Dingtian was still going to gamble as he wasnt willing to watch as someone else took the Mystic Flame. Among all the people here, Yang Dingtian was the one who did the most to obtain this Mystic Flame. After deciding to gamble, Yang Dingtian had gradually calmed down. Since he was going to take the risk, he was planning on what to do after obtaining the Mystic Flame. Yang Dingtian closed his eyes and continued to meditate. To obtain the Mystic Flame with trickery, he would need his mystic qi to be at full capacity. When Yang Dingtian executed the last saber slash at Yan Bieqin, he had used up almost all of his mystic qi. But after the mystic qi absorption earlier, Yang Dingtian had filled up his qi vessel and mystic meridians with combat mystic qi. Chapter 274: Mystic Flame Blooming! Chapter 274: Mystic Flame Blooming!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales He was different from Yan Bieqin. Yan Bieqin was a Martial Supreme and could take advantage of the crucial moment when the Mystic Flame would be blooming half an hour later. Yang Dingtian decided that when it was just before the blooming of Mystic Flame, he would go up and try his luck. ... As such, Yang Dingtian patiently waited. 10 minutes! 20 minutes! There were just 10 minutes before the blooming of the Mystic Flame. This was the moment! Yang Dingtian suddenly stood up and leaned over to Dongfang Binglings side and said, If I manage to survive, I will come down and get you out of this place. If I dont survive, then I apologize. You have to stay in this place alone. Yang Dingtian was trying to take advantage of a dangerous situation and definitely must not bring Dongfang Bingling along. Dongfang Bingling was very weak now, and even if Yang Dingtian transferred heat to her, she probably wouldnt make it through the 1,000-meter unfreezing pool. After taking a final glance at the unconscious Dongfang Bingling, Yang Dingtian hugged his youngling sword and rushed into the unfreezing water. So cold... it feels like my soul is being frozen! The first 100-meter of unfreezing pool had made Yang Dingtian suffer a hellish torment again. But there was something better this time. As he floated upwards, the temperature would increase. Hence, as long as he was able to resist the near absolute zero temperature at the deepest part, it would gradually turn better as he floated up. Yang Dingtian spent five minutes in the 1,000-meter unfreezing pool. After rushing out of the unfreezing pool, Yang Dingtian was above the ice now. At this moment, there were just less than five minutes before the blooming of Mystic Flame. Standing on the ice, Yang Dingtian felt a violent tremble and loud echoes that sounded like thunderbolts. It was needless to say that the battle above was now at the climax. It was why there was such a violent tremble that felt like an earthquake. The original block of ice was now in a miserable state. There were cracks and broken shards that were flying everywhere. Yang Dingtian broke the layer of ice towards the rough location of the Mystic Flame and slowly sneaked over. ... As Yang Dingtian advanced in the layer of ice, he was getting closer to the location where the Mystic Flame would be blooming. Over there, the battle was still very intense, and the loud sounds were getting clearer, so were the tremblings. Closer and closer. Yang Dingtian was getting increasingly closer to the Mystic Flames blooming location, and the time for the blooming was getting closer too. Yang Dingtian didnt head straight to the place where he waited with Dongfang Bingling previously. He made a detour before entering the small space from behind. Finally, the flame-shaped room was just ahead, and Yang Dingtian was just one step away. The entire layer of ice was in shambles, only the place where the Mystic Flame was going to bloom was intact. It seemed like when the battle was ongoing, they were very particular to protect this spot. Right now, there was merely one minute before the Mystic Flame was supposed to bloom. The intense sounds of battle had already stopped, and it was unknown what had happened. Rumble... All of a sudden, there was a loud sound. Afterward, a thick layer of ice suddenly burst open. The entire place had abruptly burst open. Boom... The chilly ice suddenly started burning. Yang Dingtian felt a surge of energy that was going upwards. The time for the Mystic Flame to bloom had arrived. If Yang Dingtian were outside the freezing lake right now, he would be able to clearly see that a mountain was rapidly emerging from the lake. In the beginning, it was only a small peak, and it was getting taller and taller. Originally, the icebound lake suddenly cracked in the middle, and a tall mountain started to emerge from within it. This mountain was made of half abstruse ice and the other half was blazing flame. This mountain had appeared as expected. The Yin Yang Mountain that was described in the Mystic Flames map had appeared, and it was emerging from the center of the lake. ... As the Yin Yang Mountain was constantly growing, the ice surrounding Yang Dingtian was breaking off inch by inch. Yang Dingtian could see that he and the others were within the mountain. As the Yin Yang Mountain continued to grow taller, the surrounding ice dropped off piece by piece and revealed a mountain ridge. Looking through the transparent ice, Yang Dingtian could see the outside scenery, and they were already outside of the lake. Huff... Subsequently, the flame-shaped room bloomed with a magnificent blue flame. It was like a quiet maiden that was delicate and beautiful. This, this is the Mystic Flame? The moment the Mystic Flame bloomed, a giant piece of ice in front of him instantly melted. All of a sudden, the obstruction between Yang Dingtian and Qin Huaiyus group had vanished, allowing them to look at one another directly. After seeing Qin Huaiyu along with his group, Yang Dingtian was shocked first before he was delighted. He was shocked because they were just a few tens of meters away. He was delighted because the trio and the Foxman Races chieftain were at the most thrilling moment of competing with inner qi. It was no wonder the four of them were silent even though they were fighting. Qin Huaiyu, Dugu Fengwu and Gudu Wuhuan were in a triangle formation while surrounding the Foxman chieftain, Zhuri Beila, was in the middle. Dugu Fengwus sword shot out a blood-red sword light that stabbed Zhuri Beila. Qin Huaiyus sword shot out a dark red sword light while Gudu Wuhuans sword shot out a purplish red sword light. Zhuri Beila was wielding a dragon-patterned giant sword that burst out with dense golden sword radiance. The radiance split into three and countered all three attacks. Even though Zhuri Beila was fighting three individuals alone, he still had the upper-hand. Qin Huaiyu and the two others were already on the verge of collapse. Yang Dingtian didnt know why they entered a phase where they competed with mystic qi, but it was definitely the most dangerous. Once they entered this phase, unless either sides mystic qi was depleted, it was impossible to stop. Once one of the sides stopped, that side would lose, and the consequence of losing was death. The opposing mystic qi would surge into your body and shatter your mystic qi and innards from inside. S?a??h the Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. But from the looks of the current situation, Qin Huaiyus side was probably going to lose. Moreover, even if Zhuri Beila won, his mystic qi would be depleted. Thus, the current situation was actually the most beneficial for Yang Dingtian. When Qin Huaiyu and the others noticed Yang Dingtian, they were first shocked but immediately pretended to be nonchalant. Mister Shen Lang is truly blessed with great fortune. Gudu Wuhuan suddenly said, You should have seen the current situation. Why dont we make a deal? This person was actually calling him Shen Lang and not Yang Dingtian. What deal? Tell me about it. Yang Dingtian said. Right now, we have entered the most dangerous moment, and the three of us are in a disadvantageous situation. But it is very simple to reverse this situation. You just need to walk to the back of the Foxman chieftain and stab your sword at his body, and he will be dead. Gudu Wuhuan said, You dont have to worry. If you use your sword to stab him now, he will not be able to resist and will only be able to watch as you stab him. After killing him, you people will just come and kill me. Do you think I am that foolish? Yang Dingtian sneered. It is fine even if you dont stab him to death. Gudu Wuhuan said, You only need to stab a wound on his back. That way, his blood will continue to bleed, and his mystic qi will be depleted. This way, his original advantage will be gradually lost. But that will only happen 15 minutes later. You will still be very safe, and you can devour the Mystic Flame before leaving. What benefits will I gain if I do so? Yang Dingtian let out a sarcastic laugh. Mister Shen Lang, even if you successfully devour the Mystic Flame, even if you successfully escape from this place, so what? Can you escape the combined pursuit of the Qin City, Temple of Blood, and Joyous Palace? Gudu Wuhuan said, If you help us this time, we will guarantee to write off all the previous conflicts we had, we will not send anyone to kill you before the martial contest, we will not hurt any of your people, and we will not divulge any of your secrets. How about it? Why should I believe you? Yang Dingtian said. Gudu Wuhuan said, I can pledge on oath using the Shrine of Extermination, using the Supreme Evil Emperor, using the Joyous Palaces ancestors. This worlds oath was very serious. Gudu Wuhuan simply had to use the Joyous Palaces ancestors on his oath, and it would be exceeding his entire life, let alone using the Joyous Palace, the Supreme Evil Emperor, and the Shrine of Extermination. Qin Huaiyu said, Shen Lang, if you can make it out alive, it would mean that Yan Bieqin has betrayed me. But I dont care about all these. As long as you agree with Gudu Wuhuans condition, I can also agree to other things that he had promised you. I will not do anything to Ning Rouer, otherwise... When Qin Huaiyu said this, Yang Dingtians heart immediately turned cold. It was unknown if Dugu Fengwu had told him or Qin Huaiyu guessed it himself. In short, Qin Huaiyu knew that Yang Dingtian had a period of interaction with Ning Rouer and might have already known that Ning Rouer gave Yang Dingtian his half of the Mystic Flame map. Hence, now that Qin Huaiyu made this threat, if Yang Dingtian didnt agree to Gudu Wuhuans request, Ning Rouer would end up in a miserable situation. This Qin Huaiyu was an absolute bastard and a beast. He actually used his own womans life to threaten Yang Dingtian. Ning Rouer was Qin Huaiyus woman and not Yang Dingtians woman. Furthermore, she was the mother of Qin Huaiyus daughter. Shen Lang, you have to make a choice. Gudu Wuhuan said coldly. To be honest, the conditions were very tempting, and it was very important to Yang Dingtian too. If he followed Gudu Wuhuans idea and stabbed Zhuri Beilas back and caused a constant bleed, Qin Huaiyus side would be victorious and would remain alive. If Yang Dingtian did all those, he would also be able to devour the Mystic Flame calmly before leaving. They promised that they would not make a move on Yang Dingtian and the members of Cloud Heaven City before the city lord martial contest. Among them, Yang Dingtian had another fatal piece of information in their hands. He had impersonated the Hidden Sects disciple, Wu Ming. Once this matter was made known, Yang Dingtian wouldnt have a place to establish himself in this world. As such, the conditions were truly very tempting. It was a classic case of having more return than investment. Chapter 275: Dugu Fengwu’s Pledge! Chapter 275: Dugu Fengwus Pledge!At this moment, the Yin Yang Mountain was still growing. However, the growth had gotten slower, and the current Yin Yang Mountain was already over 3,000 meters tall. Yang Dingtian and the others were about 2,000 over meters away from the ground on the high altitude mountain, and their surroundings were all filled with dark blue clouds. Yang Dingtian looked at Qin Huaiyu and the others. He had to make a choice. At the start, his eyes fell onto Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuans body. But ultimately, his gaze went to Dugu Fengwus face. This womans beautiful face had already turned pale, and cold sweat was constantly breaking out from her forehead. The mystic qi within her body was gradually depleting. Only death awaited her once it had been fully dried in this kind of mystic qi contest. And Yang Dingtian would be the cause of Dugu Fengwus death if he were to reject Gudu Wuhuans proposal. Although this woman was the most beautiful in this world and had an extremely intimate relationship with Yang Dingtian for a period of time, she was also a woman that was extremely cold and heartless to Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian had saved her life many times. However, she still made a move to kill Yang Dingtian in the Five Elements Hall Secret Realm. If it werent because he had the golem and holy water, Yang Dingtians corpse would have already rotted. Your proposal is quite attractive. Yang Dingtian continued unhurriedly, However, I choose to reject it. Rather than doing a transaction with you, I prefer watching all of you die here. Yang Dingtian rejected the proposal. The moment he said it, Qin Huaiyu and the others complexions changed while Dugu Fengwus beautiful face trembled as she glanced at Yang Dingtian. Very good... Gudu Wuhuan replied, Shen Lang, everyone will have to be responsible for their own decision. s?a??h th? ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Subsequently, they no longer spoke, and only their gazes were filled with coldness and killing intent. After Yang Dingtian had made his decision, he guarded beside the Mystic Flame and waited for it to be completely mature and bloom. Currently, the Mystic Flame was already an inch tall and had become even more beautiful and enchanting. This was the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame, a flame that possessed its own life. This was a genuine treasure and was something that could change Yang Dingtians destiny. Once he possessed this Mystic Flame, he would be able to become the strongest person in this world. With this Mystic Flame, Yang Dingtian would be able to forge a true soul sword and cultivate a sword soul. By then, his cultivation would be able to advance leaps and bounds. It possessed even more spiritual qi compared to a supreme grade coal-seam fire. It was as if it truly possessed its own life and spirits, so much that it was able to sense the world curiously. When Yang Dingtian got closer to it, it would incline itself as if it were trying to lean its head forward towards Yang Dingtian. Immediately, it was about to enter its most critical phase, and that would be the time for Yang Dingtian to devour and refine it. It wasnt extremely hard to refine a Mystic Flame. Compared to the supreme grade coal-seam fire, the Mystic Flame possessed its own life and spirit. However, it was like a newly born baby as its spirit and divine senses were just a blank space. So long as a martial artist could pour their divine senses and mystic qi into the Mystic Flame, they would be able to form a bridge together with it. It was similar to a bird that was newly born. The Mystic Flame would be filled with insecurities towards the outside world. It would instinctively search for protection even though it was extremely strong, and there was nothing in this world that could ever injure it. However, it would still instinctively search for a place that would give it a sense of security like it was searching for its mother. At this point in time, the martial artist would have to use their soul spirit and mystic qi to build a bridge. It would then follow this familiar smell as it transforms into countless threads of energy and enters the martial artists mystic meridians. Ultimately, it would stay within the martial artists qi vessel like the mystic qi. During the whole process, the Mystic Flame would never injure anyone. Unlike a supreme grade coal-seam fire, which would release terrifying energies at all times and would be able to destroy anything that came into contact with it. But the Mystic Flame was different. It had its own consciousness. It could choose whether it wished to attack or defend. Of course, if there were anyone who dared to touch the Mystic Flame directly, the Mystic Flame that was filled with insecurities would immediately explode and turn him into ashes. However, during the process when the Mystic Flame would be entering the mystic meridians and qi vessel, it would never have any thoughts of attacking. Once it had entered entirely into the qi vessel, this Mystic Flame would become a portion of the martial artists life and would be inseparable from them. Therefore, what Yang Dingtian wanted to do now was to wait for it to fully bloom and pour his divine senses as well as mystic qi into the Mystic Flame. When the time would come, the Mystic Flame would be like a baby that was searching for its mother as it would turn into countless threads of energies and drill itself into Yang Dingtians body obediently. Since Yang Dingtian had already rejected Gudu Wuhuans request, he had completely ignored the other party and had placed all of his attention onto the Mystic Flame. So long as it had matured, Yang Dingtian would immediately pour his mystic qi and divine sense in. The Mystic Flame got more and more beautiful and attractive. As if it were like a flower that was gradually blooming. As if it were like a lady that was becoming more beautiful. The time where it would fully bloom was about to arrive. Meanwhile, the current Yang Dingtian was already extremely nervous. His breathing had practically come to a pause. So much that he had a hint of uneasiness within him because the other person had yet to appear. And that person was Yan Bieqin. After he had left the unfreezing pool, he still had yet to reappear. Could he have really given up on the Mystic Flame and escaped? ... It was at this moment that a familiar voice resonated out. Young Lord, Young Lord Gudu, Young Lady Dugu, is your deal still available? Yang Bieqins voice had finally rung out. After which, a cold ice block suddenly broke apart as Yan Bieqin dug himself out from it and shook himself as he shook away all the unfreezing water on him. Unexpectedly, he had wrapped himself inside the unfreezing water. After which, he bundled himself into the cold ice. With this, he had concealed his energy and aura. Certainly. Of course, it is. Qin Huaiyu replied. Yan Bieqin walked to the back of Zhuri Beila unhurriedly as he spoke, Then I shall trouble the three of you to make an oath. Gudu Wuhuan replied, I swear that I will never look into Yan Bieqins mistakes and would treat him as my close friend forever. I would never injure or harbor any malicious intention towards him. If Im to violate this oath, all the ancestors within Joyous Palace will never rest in peace. Furthermore, I will be exterminated by the Evil Dao leaders soul, and the Evil Dao would be in downfall forever without any chances of emergence. Qin Huaiyu swore, I swear that I will never look into Yan Bieqins mistakes and would still treat him as my trusted aide. As before, I will continue to support his future endeavors unconditionally and would take him as an ally forever. I will never injure or harbor any malicious intent towards him. If Im to violate this oath, all the Qin Citys ancestors would never be able to reincarnate, and my Qin City would completely wither away. Dugu Fengwu swore, I swear that I will never look into Yan Bieqins mistakes and would treat him as my ally forever. I will never injure or harbor any malicious intent towards him. If Im to violate this oath, all my ancestors in the Temple of Ten Thousand Blood would be turned into malicious spirits to kill and destroy me! Chapter 276: Mystic Flame’s Owner! Chapter 276: Mystic Flames Owner!Many thanks. Yan Bieqin will always remember your benevolence. Yan Bieqin replied slowly. Subsequently, he looked towards Yang Dingtian, Im sorry Teacher Shen Lang, this Mystic Flame no longer belongs to you. I believe you will not pointlessly resist and cause us to shed all pretense of cordiality. Immediately, Yang Dingtian smiled bitterly. Yan Bieqin arrived behind Zhuri Beila and pulled out a sword suddenly. Immediately, Qin Huaiyu and the others had their eyes brightened up. They wished Yan Bieqin would slash Zhuri Beila into half. During the whole process, Zhuri Beila did not even bother to beg. As before, his face was filled with arrogance and coldness. I still have another condition. Yan Bieqin suddenly spoke out, I want the three of you to let Teacher Shen Lang off as well regardless of what his real identity is. Regardless of what kind of information you can use against him, you must never injure him before the Grand Martial Duel. How about it? After he spoke, not only did Qin Huaiyus complexion change, even Yang Dingtian had also revealed an inconceivable expression. What was Yan Bieqin trying to achieve? Not only did he want Qin Huaiyu and the others to let him off, he even wanted them to let Yang Dingtian off as well. Are you sure? Qin Huaiyu inquired. Im sure. Yan Bieqin replied. Alright, then. I promise. Furthermore, I will incorporate this into the oath I did just now. Qin Huaiyu replied. I agree. I will also incorporate this into the oath just now. Gudu Wuhuan commented. I agree. Dugu Fengwu commented nonchalantly. Many thanks! Yan Bieqin replied. Subsequently, he thrust out the sword on his hand. Instantly, it pierced through Zhuri Beilas chest as blood splattered out. Meanwhile, Zhuri Beila, who was contesting mystic qi against the trio, could only open his eyes and stare at his body being impaled without any strength for resistance as he stared at his blood flowing out constantly. While blood splattered out, the energy in Zhuri Beila gradually disappeared. During normal circumstances, he would be able to stop the bleeding easily. However, he was unable to do so right now because they were contesting with each others mystic qi. Therefore, the mystic meridians in his body were circulating rapidly while his blood was also being circulated very quickly. Besides, the speed at which the blood was flowing out did not seem to decrease at all. Along with the loss of blood, Zhuri Beila instantly fell into a disadvantage. Yang Dingtian had no idea how much mystic qi Zhuri Beila was left with. However, he knew that Zhuri Beila would lose half of his blood after 30 minutes if the bleeding continued. Once he lost half of his blood pool, this arrogant Foxman Races chieftain would inevitably die. Originally, Yang Dingtian did not have the slightest bit of favorable impression towards this Foxman Races chieftain Zhuri Beila. However, he couldnt help but respect and felt that it was undeserving for this arrogant chieftain because even at this point in time, he had yet to open his mouth to beg for forgiveness. Besides, Yang Dingtian still owed his daughter, Xiangxiang Beila, a favor. However, the current Yang Dingtian was unable to do anything. So, these are humans. Zhuri Beila finally spoke his first sentence. It was filled with complicated sentiments. S?a??h th? N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. From this sentence, Yang Dingtian was able to feel that this Foxman Races chieftain still wished to get close and ally with the humans. It was just that humans behavior had caused him to be disappointed. Shen Lang, let me pass on a sentence to you and help to transmit it to my race. Zhuri Beila suddenly spoke. Sure. Please speak your mind. Yang Dingtian replied. This Young Lady Dugu Fengwu had proposed for the transaction of a thousand-year fire attribute demon core with us. We asked her the reason for the transaction, but she wasnt willing to speak of it. Thus, we rejected the transaction. Instead, she entered our altar and killed our altar experts before snatching away the saint core on the altar. Zhuri Beila continued, If it were just a demon core, we wouldnt have come after her. However, she snatched our ancestors saint core. Our ancestor was a half-human half-demon who had lived for 800 years. Our Foxman Race had grown and expanded under his leadership. Yet, she had snatched away our saint core. So, tell me, is it a valid reason to pursue her for thousands of miles? Yes. Yang Dingtian replied. Zhuri Beila continued, Now I know that theres a Mystic Flame here. Please help me to transmit this message to my race. I have died because I tried to take back the saint core and not because of the Mystic Flame. Ill remember this, chieftain. Yang Dingtian replied. *** Currently, the Mystic Flame had already bloomed. The confrontation between the mystic qi was still continuing, and Zhuri Beila was filled with the determination to die. Yan Bieqin walked to Yang Dingtian and patted on his shoulder, Im sorry, brother Shen Lang. I need this Mystic Flame. After he spoke, an extremely formidable energy confined Yang Dingtian. Immediately, Yang Dingtian could no longer move. Even his spiritual energy was unable to flow out. His mystic qi failed to circulate as well. Yan Bieqin was a 1-star Martial Supreme. Although he was a little weaker than Qin Huaiyu, they were ultimately in the same class. The current Yang Dingtian was still unable to contend against Martial Supreme class experts. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian was imprisoned as he sat there without any ability to budge, so much that he couldnt even close his eyes. Just like that, he could only watch all of it happen helplessly. The Yin Yang Mountain had stopped growing. The Mystic Flame had bloomed to its peak, making it extremely beautiful and enchanting. Once it had bloomed to its peak, the flame had started to change into all kinds of shapes. It allowed others to see its uneasiness and timidness as it strived to search for a safe place. It wanted to search for someone who could protect it. Although it was the strongest existence in this world and once it turned berserk, everyone around it would be turned into ashes. It was the strongest energy born. However, it had no idea about it. It thought that itself was the weakest infant around. Of course, it was indeed extremely frail because its life was extremely short-lived. It would merely be for several minutes. Once it couldnt locate a place to reside in, its beautiful and formidable life would wither away rapidly. It would have to wait for another 200 years before it could bloom again. And a martial artist qi vessel was the best home for it. Therefore, a martial artist would always wish to locate a Mystic Flame, and the Mystic Flame would yearn to locate a martial artists qi vessel for it to reside in. Of course, this martial artist would have to at least be in the Martial Mystic class. Otherwise, once the Mystic Flame had turned into myriad threads of energies and entered the body, the martial artist wouldnt be able to refine the Mystic Flame energy into their own core flame even though the Mystic Flame wouldnt do any harm to their body. Yan Bieqins concentrated his vision on this extremely formidable and infant-like Mystic Flame. He only needed a single thread of divine sense and mystic qi as it grew closer to the Mystic Flame. Currently, even if Qin Huaiyu and the others were striving their best against the confrontation, they still continued to watch everything that was happening around them. The radiance within their gazes was extremely complex. It was filled with uneasiness, hatred, and enviousness. This was the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame. Regardless was it Qin Huaiyu, Gudu Wuhuan or Dugu Fengwu, so long as they devoured and refined this Mystic Flame, they would be half a step into the Master rank. This signified that they would be a Grandmaster rank expert in the future and would possess their own territory. The importance of this Mystic Flame was even more significant to Dugu Fengwu. So long as she refined this Mystic Flame, her cultivation would exceed Dongfang Bingling, and she would be able to forge a true soul sword and cultivate a sword soul in the shortest amount of time. During then, she would be able to fight against the real strongest person in this world. Till today, there were only five or six people who possessed the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame. Dugu Fengwu had invested a lot just for this Mystic Flame. She had even proposed an extremely big transaction with the Northwest Qin City just for this. Currently, Temple of Ten Thousand Blood and Dugu Fengwu had already used their bargaining chip and had successfully gotten Gudu Wuhuan and Qin Huaiyu to give up on this Mystic Flame. However, who would have thought that this Mystic Flame would fall into Yan Bieqins stomach. How could she not be in hatred? Meanwhile, Qin Huaiyu felt even more complicated. Yan Bieqin was his trusted aide and was one of the most important chess pieces of Qin City. At the start, he had betrayed Yan Bieqin before Yan Bieqin betrayed him. Now, this Heaven and Earth rank treasure had unexpectedly fallen into Yan Bieqins stomach. This subordinate that was already extremely outstanding was about to soar straight up to heaven and turn into a dragon. However, Yang Dingtian was the most unwilling one among them. He had invested the most just for this Mystic Flame. And this Mystic Flame was the only hope for him to win the Grand Martial Duel. However, it was extremely hard for Yang Dingtian to produce an entrenched hatred towards Yan Bieqin, who had snatched away the Mystic Flame. When it came to the current circumstances, Yan Bieqin didnt owe Yang Dingtian. Everyone would wish to claim ownership of the Mystic Flame regardless of whoever had witnessed it. *** Yan Bieqins divine sense and Mystic Flame gradually grew closer towards each other. The beautiful Mystic Flame was like a child. It was filled with anticipation and fear as it sniffed Yan Bieqins mystic qi odor. It wanted to look for a relative and family urgently. However, it was also extremely afraid. Therefore, it probed and approached cautiously. Perhaps, everyone here hoped that there would be an accident when Yan Bieqin was devouring the Mystic Flame. Any accident would be fine. Regardless was it the Mystic Flame going berserk or that the confrontation had suddenly changed or if there were an arrival of an additional person. However, there werent any accidents. The Mystic Flame and Yan Bieqins mystic qi approached each other cautiously. Ultimately, it came into contact with each other. The instant they came into contact with each other, the Mystic Flame suddenly leaped. All the uneasiness and timidness had completely disappeared. The Mystic Flame started to cheer and dance in high spirits because it had found a home. The outcome had been decided! Once the mystic qi had been successfully poured into the Mystic Flame, no one would be able to snatch the Mystic Flame away, even if someone had come in to kill Yan Bieqin. Once the Mystic Flame had recognized its owner, it would never change. And currently, Yan Bieqins mystic qi aura had already been engraved deeply within the Mystic Flames divine senses. Killing off Yan Bieqin would only cause an outcome, the Mystic Flame turning berserk. Once the Mystic Flame turned berserk, everyone present would be turned into ashes. This several-thousand-meter tall mountain would instantly shatter, and the hundreds of miles of the lake would instantly dry up as well. This Burial Land would be turned into hell instantly. This was the might of the Mystic Flame. Chapter 277: Devouring The Mystic Flame! Chapter 277: Devouring The Mystic Flame!This was the might of the Mystic Flame. Therefore, the conclusion had already been determined. Yang Dingtian could even hear Qin Huaiyu and the others revealing a sigh. Subsequently, he saw Qin Huaiyu and the others had all shifted their gazes away and no longer looked at Yan Bieqin. Bam... The beautiful Mystic Flame suddenly exploded out. Immediately, it was like the most beautiful and brightest firework. The Mystic Flame suddenly turned into countless threads, and each of those threads was like a beautiful light ray. Countless red radiances curved, danced and drifted around. The surrounding area of hundreds of meters had all been covered up by the Mystic Flames threads. It was extremely stunning and beautiful. Subsequently, the energy from these Mystic Flame threads started to revolve and danced around Yan Bieqin. It acted as if it were his lover or a mischievous child as it wrapped Yan Bieqin within it. Ultimately, these countless of Mystic Flame threads started to make their way into Yan Bieqins body rapidly. Its speed was extremely quick like it was returning to its nest as it entered into Yan Bieqins body rapidly. Immediately, Yan Bieqins body issued a dazzling red radiance. In just a few minutes, countless of Mystic Flame energies were turned into threads as they entered Yan Bieqins body and circulated around his mystic meridians. What Yan Bieqin needed to do next was to slowly draw this Mystic Flame energy into his qi vessel and form a complete core flame. Yan Bieqin sat down and started refining it. Currently, his whole body was covered in red radiance. The red radiance on his body gradually dimmed along with the refinement process. Ten minutes. Fifteen minutes. Twenty minutes. During the process, Yang Dingtian was able to sense the energy within Yan Bieqins body exploding. It was a breakthrough for each time his energy exploded. By refining the Mystic Flame, his cultivation would go through an immersive breakthrough. No one knew how many breakthroughs did Yan Bieqin experience. However, it was definitely numerous times. Twenty minutes later, the red radiance on Yan Bieqins body had practically vanished completely. Currently, Zhuri Beila was already at his last breath due to the loss of blood. He was like a lamp that was about to run out of oil, and his time of death was about to arrive. The battle with Qin Huaiyu was about to end. Currently, Yan Bieqin had all of a sudden opened up his eyes. The refinement of the Mystic Flame had yet to end, and once he stopped, there would be a huge loss of energy even though he could still continue later on. However, he still chose to stop. He stood up directly, and his gaze was filled with precaution. Yang Dingtian was able to see that his cultivation had improved by leaps and bound just from his gaze alone. The energy on him had grown several times stronger. Shen Lang, Young Lord, Young Lord Gudu, Young Lady Dugu, farewell. Yan Bieqin spoke. Finally, he glanced towards Yang Dingtian and replied, Im sure well meet again someday. Bam... Subsequently, Yan Bieqin turned into a beam of light and charged towards heaven as he flew out of the Yin Yang Mountain from the deep and thick ice layer directly. In a flash, he disappeared from everyones line of sight. Unexpectedly, he had left before he had finished refining the Mystic Flame. What was the reason that caused him to stop such a priceless refinement process and leave immediately? When Yan Bieqin had disappeared from Yang Dingtians line of sight, all the restrictions that were placed on his body had all vanished. Yang Dingtians mystic qi and movement of limbs had all returned. When Yan Bieqin left, he didnt forget to undo his restrictions. This person is very smart. He actually fled the moment he knew I had arrived. Subsequently, a familiar voice resonated in Yang Dingtians ears. This was an extremely unpleasant voice. A 200 years old white-haired and beautiful grand elder of the Foxman Race, Ba Bi. Indeed, it was her. Ba Bi carried her son and descended unhurriedly from the gap of the mountain peak while the raging flame combusted around her. Her face was as beautiful as before, and her body was extremely well developed. Her hair was still as white as snow. Her sons complexion was rosy and looked a lot better. However, he had grown dozens of years older compared to when Yang Dingtian had fed him the holy water several days ago. He aged extremely quickly. Judging from this speed, in just half a month, he would return to his gasp for his last breath situation. Ba Bi landed beside Yang Dingtian, and her gaze fell onto the Foxman Races chieftain Zhuri Beilas face. *** Currently, the arrogant Foxman Races chieftain was like a lamp that was about to run out of oil. Blood was flowing out from his body, and his body was drenched by his blood. His handsome face had turned pale. He was already relying on final willpower to continue the battle. He would collapse and die at any point in time. The complexion of Qin Huaiyu and the others immediately changed when they saw the appearance of great elder Ba Bi. Everyone, although Zhuri Beila is very stupid and we are unable to get along with each other, he is still my junior and is also my Foxman Races chieftain. How about letting him off? Ba Bi looked at Qin Huaiyu and the others and spoke unhurriedly. She even coughed twice in the middle of her speech. Qin Huaiyu replied, Senior, if we let him off, we will inevitably die. If Im to make a move now, all of you will certainly die as well. Ba Bi replied unhurriedly, However, I know that your backings are very strong. One is from the Temple of Ten Thousand Blood, one is Joyous Palace, and the other is Northwest Qin City. I wouldnt dare to offend any of these three influences. Therefore, I have yet to make my move. Im not as stupid as Zhuri Beila. So long as any of you die here, it will be a disaster for my Foxman Race. Ba Bi continued, Currently, the Mystic Flame is gone. How about giving me a face and let this disappointing younger generation of mine off? Qin Huaiyu replied, Senior, were just afraid that if were to let him off, you arent willing to let us off. How about I shall swear upon my ancestry and deceased husband? Ba Bi continued, I swear that if Young Lord Qin Huaiyu and the others are to let chieftain Zhuri Beila off, my Foxman Race will never treat the trio as enemies and is willing to form an alliance with the three factions. If Im to violate this oath, my ancestors will never reincarnate, and my husband will become a malicious spirit to take my life. After she had finished her oath, Ba Bis gaze fell onto Qin Huaiyu and waited for his decision. Before I agree to it, I wish to ask you a question. Who is your husband? Qin Huaiyu inquired. An extremely emotional and complex emotion flashed passed Ba Bis eyes as she replied nonchalantly, All of you should be extremely familiar with this person. Hes the biggest traitor of Heaven Dao Union and the biggest sinner of humans since the beginning of history, Great Devil Li Tianxiao! Everyones complexion changed when they heard it. Her husband was unexpectedly Li Tianxiao. Two hundred years ago, during the extermination battle, after the Evil Dao had lost the war, Li Tianxiao had actually taken shelter at the half-human race territory, East Parting Grassland. Furthermore, he had actually married the Foxman Race beauty, Ba Bi. No wonder she was so familiar with the Mystic Flame map. This Mystic Flame map had originated from Li Tianxiao. Now, you can give me your reply. Are you going to agree to it or not? Ba Bi replied unhurriedly. Subsequently, she coughed a few times. Yes. Qin Huaiyu replied. Im willing to do as you bid and is even more willing to form an alliance with the Foxman Race. Ba Bi immediately walked towards Zhuri Beila and gripped onto his arm, On the count of three, the three of you are to withdraw your mystic qi. Yes! Qin Huaiyu replied. One! Two! Three! When Ba Bi counted to three, she immediately grabbed onto Zhuri Beilas arm and pulled. At the same time, Qin Huaiyu trio immediately withdrew their mystic qi. Without any mishap, both sides had successfully broken away from each other. After withdrawing their mystic qi, Qin Huaiyu trio staggered and had almost collapsed onto the ground. Currently, they had already emptied their mystic qi and were extremely weak. Meanwhile, Zhuri Beila collapsed onto the ground directly. It was unknown if he were still alive. Ba Bi placed her hand onto the back of Zhuri Beila as she transmitted her mystic qi over to stop his death. Immediately, Zhuri Beilas wound stopped bleeding. Ba Bi got Zhuri Beila to sit at a meditative position while she sat behind him. She used one of her hands to pour mystic qi into him at a constant stream. Qin Huaiyu trio inhaled a deep breath and consumed a pill without delay. Subsequently, they gave Ba Bi a bow and spoke, Senior, do you still have any orders for us? Nope. You guys can leave. Ba Bi replied. Yes! Qin Huaiyu replied. Subsequently, he bowed again before leaving. But before they left, they couldnt help but give Yang Dingtian a complicated glance. Goodbye. After they spoke, Qin Huaiyu, Gudu Wuhuan, Dugu Fengwu turned into three-beams of light and broke through from the ice layer as they left the Yin Yang Mountain. Immediately, only Yang Dingtian and the few others were left inside the Yin Yang Mountain. Qin Huaiyu and the others had already left. *** Yang Dingtian took out a seventh-grade wonder spirit elixir and placed it before Zhuri Beila, Senior, this seventh-grade wonder spirit elixir should be helpful for chieftain Beila. Junior shall bid farewell as well. After Yang Dingtian spoke, he made his way to the other side of the unfreezing pool. They can leave, but you cant. Ba Bi commented unhurriedly. Subsequently, her palm left Zhuri Beilas back as she placed that seventh-grade wonder spirit elixir into Zhuri Beilas mouth. Sure enough, this elixir was extremely exceptional. Very quickly, some vitality and redness could be seen on Zhuri Beilas face. After which, Ba Bi placed Zhuri Beila onto the ground and walked to Yang Dingtian. She grabbed onto his neck and lifted him. Yang Dingtian yelled, Senior, what is this for? Have you forgotten that I saved your son previously? Yea, you did. Ba Bi replied, Unfortunately, at most a month later, he would return to his old self before dying. Therefore, I needed something more permanent that could allow him to live for another 100 years. Yang Dingtian looked back at Zhuri Beila that was tossed aside by Ba Bi, Senior Ba Bi is not here to save chieftain Beila. Of course not. His survival is not my business. I long for his death. If I wish to save him, I wouldnt have waited until now before appearing. Grand Elder Ba Bi continued unhurriedly, Im here to let my son devour and refine the Mystic Flame. Mystic Flame? Yang Dingtian commented, However, the Mystic Flame had already been refined into someone elses stomach. When Yan Bieqin saw your arrival, he fled even before he had finished refining the Mystic Flame. s?a??h th? ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Fool, thats not the true Mystic Flame. Its a Mystic Void Flame. Grand Elder Ba Bi commented. Chapter 278: The True Mystic Flame! Chapter 278: The True Mystic Flame!Fool, thats not the true Mystic Flame. Its a Mystic Void Flame. Grand Elder Ba Bi commented. Fake? Yang Dingtian replied in disbelief, Yan Bieqin devoured and refined a fake Mystic Flame? How is this possible? The Mystic Flame I saw was filled with vigorous vitality. Did I ever say that its a fake one? Grand Elder Ba Bi commented, That Mirage Void Flame is also a Mystic Flame. It would appear similar to the true Mystic Flame and would have its own divine sense and spirit. However, the energy contained within it is only one-tenth of a genuine Mystic Flame. Every Mystic Flame would have a mirage? Yang Dingtian inquired. Of course not. Ba Bi replied, Only a small minority of Mystic Flame would possess it. But the Mystic Flames, with a mirage, are extremely strong. Theyre the king among the Mystic Flames. Immediately, Yang Dingtian was dumbstruck. He never once imagined that Yan Bieqin had just devoured and refined a Mirage Void Flame and not the true Mystic Flame. Senior, where is the true Mystic Flame at? Yang Dingtian inquired. Ba Bi replied, Im bringing you over to see it. However, you should know that after you get to know this secret, you will no longer be able to stay alive. I will have to kill you. I will kill you after you have seen the true Mystic Flame. Understand? Of course, I understand. Yang Dingtian smiled coldly immediately. Good that you understand. Lets go. The true Mystic Flame just so happens to mature and bloom right now. We can just pluck it off directly. Son, you can be like mother soon, remaining young forever. Ba Bi used one hand to hold onto Yang Dingtian while carrying her son on the other as she dived down, and all the hard cold ice around was turned into powder. Currently, Yang Dingtian also wished to know where the true Mystic Flame was at even if it meant death. *** Ba Bi kept diving down after breaking through kilometers of cold ice. Very quickly, they arrived at a familiar location. Unexpectedly, it was the unfreezing pool. Subsequently, Ba Bi grabbed onto the two of them and jumped into the unfreezing pool. Senior Ba Bi, this unfreezing pool is too cold. Your son wouldnt be able to endure it and would freeze to death. Yang Dingtian commented. He didnt lie. Ba Bis son was old and weak. He wouldnt be able to resist against the coldness of the unfreezing pool. But after jumping into the unfreezing pool, Yang Dingtian realized that the unfreezing pool was no longer cold. That bone-chilling coldness had actually disappeared. The water had actually become a room temperature water and was even somewhat warm. Why would it be like this? A moment ago, the unfreezing pool was still astonishingly cold. But now, it was no longer cold at all. Ba Bi carried Yang Dingtian on one of her hands while her son on the other as she dived down rapidly. As they dived deeper, the water temperature remained the same. It was still warm. Yang Dingtian was puzzled. Could this not be the unfreezing pool but another pool? Impossible, this was the unfreezing pool. However, the kilometers deep coldness should be terrifying. The unfreezing pool was also in the shape of a funnel, and the widest region was no less than several kilometers wide. Therefore, the volume of this unfreezing pool was terrifying. The volume of the unfreezing pool in the abandoned mine cavern was around a thousandth of this. Yet, it had already nurtured 999 ten thousand years old blood black gold. Then, what would this huge unfreezing pool give birth to? What kind of object would actually devour so much heat and produce so much unfreezing water? The answer was already extremely clear. The true Mystic Flame. Only the true Mystic Flame would need such a large quantity of heat. Only a true Mystic Flame would be able to produce such an astonishing volume of unfreezing pool. Then where would the true Mystic Flame be? The answer was already extremely clear. Right, it was at the bottom of this unfreezing pool. It was within that narrow space above the circular crystal stone. That was where the real Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame was born. That warm crystal stone was the altar of the Mystic Flame. No wonder the mystic qi there was extremely dense. No wonder that crystal stone was able to release a constant stream of energy. No wonder the space above the crystal stone could remain warm even though it was below the extremely cold unfreezing water. The supreme rank coal-seam fire had its own altar, so did the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame. Currently, Yang Dingtian had no choice but to laugh bitterly. A moment ago, he had always been above the crystal stone altar, which was the location of where the Mystic Flame was going to be born. However, he left because he wanted to take advantage of the crisis and contest over that Mirage Void Flame. Yang Dingtian truly had no idea if he should cry or laugh. Everything turned into a sigh. s?a??h th? N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Currently, Dongfang Bingling was still beneath the unfreezing pool, and it was unknown if she had woken up. *** Ba Bi continued to dive deeper while carrying Yang Dingtian and her son. Very quickly, the trio passed through kilometers of waters and exited as they descended onto the red crystal stone altar. However, Yang Dingtian and Ba Bi were rendered stupefied after they had rushed out from the water. There was a beautiful flame that was completely blue in color. It was extremely pure, enchanting and astonishing. It didnt contain any countenance of a flame and was like a blue fairy. It had actually turned into a beautiful human silhouette after swaying for a moment. This flame had actually turned into a human form. It looked extremely elegant, beautiful and alluring. And this was the true Mystic Flame. Previously, that Mirage Void Flame had its own divine sense and vitality. However, it was too puerile. This Mystic Flame before him was truly filled with vitality. This true Mystic Flame was countless fold more beautiful than the Mirage Void Flame. Yang Dingtian wanted to cry out in surprise when he saw such a beautiful Mystic Flame. However, what caused him and Ba Bi to cry out in surprise wasnt because of this. Rather, it was because Dongfang Bingling was seated on the ground with both her hands clasping onto the Mystic Flame. She was currently looking eye to eye with the Mystic Flame that had turned into a beauty. Subsequently, she inhaled and was about to devour this Mystic Flame. Yang Dingtian was also clearly able to see the form the Mystic Flame had taken. It was a small Dongfang Bingling. Regardless was it the stature or facial features, it looked exactly the same as Dongfang Bingling. However, Dongfang Bingling was as cold as the ice while the beauty the Mystic Flame had transformed into was charming and alluring. And the most crucial point was the current Dongfang Bingling didnt look frail or injured. Clearly, she was at her optimal state. No... Grand elder Ba Bi issued a mournful cry when she saw the scene. My Mystic Flame, my Million Spirit Demon Flame. My sons immortality... Witch, you actually dared to snatch away my Mystic Flame. You actually dared to destroy my son. Im going to kill you. Im going to kill you... Grand Elder Ba Bi was about to crumble and turn crazy. She had waited for a hundred years just for this Mystic Flame. She wanted to let her son devour this Mystic Flame and live for a few hundred years just like her. Now, all of this had been destroyed. This Mystic Flame now belonged to Dongfang Bingling. She was able to distinctly see that Dongfang Bingling had already poured her mystic qi and divine senses into the Mystic Flame with only the devouring and refinement process left. At this point in time, she wouldnt be able to snatch away the Mystic Flame, even if she killed Dongfang Bingling. There would only be a conclusion if she were to kill Dongfang Bingling, which would cause the Mystic Flame to go berserk. A moment ago, Ba Bi had named this Mystic Flame as the Million Spirit Demon Flame. The reason was that the spirit of this Mystic Flame was condensed from millions of vengeance souls beneath the Burial Land. Therefore, it was called the Million Spirit Demon Flame. Since thousands of years ago, the Burial Land had always been the only battlefield for the Half-Human Race. The number of half-humans that had died here was far more than ten million. A Mystic Flame spirit that was formed from millions of vengeance souls and several thousands of corpses buried beneath. Therefore, one could well imagine how strong this Million Spirit Demon Flame was. Otherwise, it wouldnt have been able to give rise to a Mirage Void Flame. There would only be an ending if such a formidable Million Spirit Demon Flame were to go berserk. The whole Burial Land would be destroyed while heaven would fall, and the earth would rend. Everyone here would be annihilated instantly. In short, the might of this Mystic Flame had exceeded a nuclear bomb. If she were to kill Dongfang Bingling, Ba Bi, her son and Yang Dingtian would die as well. Grand Elder Ba Bi was obviously very clear on this point. Therefore, she calmed down very quickly before going berserk due to her anger. Grand Elder Ba Bi looked at the fairy-like beauty, Dongfang Bingling, as she spoke unhurriedly, Young lady, lets make a deal. Dongfang Bingling continued to interact with the Mystic Flame and did not give any reply. This Million Spirit Demon Flame was formed from the whole East Parting Grassland heat energy together with millions of vengeance souls. It is extremely powerful, and once you devour this Mystic Flame, you can aspire to be the strongest in this world. Grand Elder Ba Bi continued, I can give this Mystic Flame to you if you wish to have it. What I want is to let my son live for another 100 years. Dongfang Bingling continued to devour this Million Spirit Demon Flame unhurriedly and did not give a reply. Ba Bi was angered. She inhaled deeply, You ought to be an extremely pure young lady. How about this. Immediately sleep with my son after you had devoured and refined this Mystic Flame. After which, use the Yin Yang Devour Mystic Ritual and transfer a portion of the Mystic Flame energy into my sons body. I dont need much, just a percent of it will do. Previously, I had devoured the Mirage Void Flame, and it allowed my countenance to not age for 200 years. This is a true Mystic Flame. Therefore, so long as a percent of the energy is transferred to my sons body, it will be sufficient for him to live on for another hundred years. Yang Dingtian was immediately angered when he heard this as he looked towards Ba Bi. Ba Bi continued, Youre going to expand your illusory innocence. Such a powerful lady like you will never place such a thing like this in your eyes at all. In return, you obtained an opportunity to become the strongest in this world. So, are you going to agree to this transaction? Subsequently, Ba Bis complexion became gloomy and cold, Im only left with my son. Im willing to do anything not to let him get old. Therefore, young lady, I will have to kill you if you arent going to agree to my condition. After which, I will wait for the Mystic Flame to explode due to going berserk as it destroys everything here. Every one of us will just perish together. Chapter 279: Dongfang Bingling! Chapter 279: Dongfang Bingling!I will start counting from five. Either you conduct the Yin Yang Devour Mystic Ritual with my son and transfer a percent of the Mystic Flame energy to him so that he could also live for a long life after you had devoured the Mystic Flame, or I shall kill you and all of us will perish together. Subsequently, Ba Bi started her countdown. Five! Four! Three! Two! One! The countdown was over! All of a sudden, Ba Bi raised her palm and was about to strike at Dongfang Bingling. Immediately, Dongfang Bingling opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Ba Bi before replying unhurriedly, Two choices, first is to die. The second is to conduct the Yin Yang Devour Mystic Ritual with the man beside you and transfer a percent of the Mystic Flame energy to him even though this will destroy my pure body. Right? While she spoke of the man beside Ba Bi, Dongfang Bingling cast a quick glance at Yang Dingtian. Ba Bi replied, Thats right! Immediately, Dongfang Bingling had sunk into a life or death decision. Either it was death. Or her innocence so that she would be unrivaled in this world. Read more chapter on vipnovel.com This Million Spirit Demon Flame could be considered a monarch in this world. After devouring this much Mystic Flame, Dongfang Bingling would be able to become unrivaled in this world in the shortest period. However, she would have to sacrifice her innocence, her purest jade body. *** Sure. I agree! Dongfang Bingling replied. Yang Dingtians complexion changed after he heard it. It was unclear if it were due to disappointment or anger. He felt that he had no feelings for Dongfang Bingling. Rather, it was filled with hatred and also a trace of admiration. But after he heard that she had agreed to Ba Bis request, he felt disappointed and angry. In his heart, Dongfang Bingling should be extremely proud and would rather die than to submit. She would consider everyone else beneath her while remaining proud, selfish and cold-hearted. But now... Furthermore, Ba Bis son was an aging old freak that was hanging onto his last breath. Yang Dingtian had no idea if this were because of a males possessiveness or disappointment for the loss of a beautiful life. When Ba Bi heard the reply, her eyes immediately brightened up. Subsequently, she cried out, I dont trust you. You will have to make an oath. You will have to swear upon your sect and father. Dongfang Bingling clasped onto the Mystic Flame that was filled with vitality. Her eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness as she spoke, I, Dongfang Bingling, swear that after I had devoured the Million Spirit Demon Flame, I would... May I know the name of senior? Foxman Race, Ba Bi. Would have sexual intercourse with the man beside Foxman Race, Ba Bi as I offer my innocence to him. Furthermore, I would use the Yin Yang Devour Mystic Ritual and transfer a portion of the mystic qi into his body. If I violate this oath, Yin Yang Sect will not survive for another hundred years, and the Yin Yang Sect thousand years foundation will be destroyed in my hands. This will cause my Yin Yang Sect ancestry to be unable to rest in peace. Dongfang Bingling swore as she established a fierce oath. After hearing Dongfang Binglings oath, Yang Dingtians heart couldnt help but shudder. This oath was extremely ruthless. However, Ba Bi laughed when she heard the oath, This isnt right, Young Lady Dongfang. In the oath, you said the man beside me. Currently, I have two men beside me. One is my son, one is Shen Lang. Youre trying to play dirty. Dongfang Binglings complexion changed when she heard it. It was very obvious that this loophole was purposely left behind by Dongfang Bingling. Unexpectedly, Ba Bi had seen through it. Previously, even Yang Dingtian hadnt taken notice of this loophole. If Ba Bi didnt discover this loophole, the man Dongfang Bingling would be using to fulfill the promise would most likely be him. Immediately, a burst of complicated feelings arose within Yang Dingtian. It was unknown if this were a burst of ripple or anger. However, all of this had been rendered useless because Ba Bi had discovered the loophole. Ba Bi continued, Therefore, I will have to trouble Young Lady Dongfang to make an oath again. You have to state that the man would be my son clearly. You have to hurry. There isnt much time left. Immediately, Dongfang Bingling spoke out coldly, Then can I ask, is the man on the left your son or was it the right one? Yang Dingtian was at the left of Ba Bi while the aging old son was at her right. Of course, its one on the right. Ba Bi replied. Dongfang Bingling made her oath again, I, Dongfang Bingling, swear that I will have sexual intercourse with the man on the right of Foxman Race, Ba Bi as I offer my innocence to him after I had devoured the Million Spirit Demon Flame. Furthermore, I would use the Yin Yang Devour Mystic Ritual and transfer a portion of the mystic qi into his body. If I violate this oath, Yin Yang Sect will not survive for another hundred years, and the Yin Yang Sect thousand years foundation will be destroyed in my hands. This will cause my Yin Yang Sect ancestry to be unable to rest in peace. After she made the oath, Dongfang Bingling, who was already extremely ice-cold, replied coldly, Are you satisfied now? Satisfied. Ba Bi laughed, Fairy Dongfang, you can start devouring the Mystic Flame. After Ba Bi spoke, she removed her palm from Dongfang Binglings forehead and retreated several steps. Dongfang Bingling used both her hands and clasped onto the Mystic Flame as she gradually moved her hand closer to it. Meanwhile, she had fixated her beautiful eyes onto the Mystic Flame. All of a sudden, Dongfang Binglings beautiful eyes grew larger while her nose and mouth inhaled a deep breath of air. It was as if she wanted to devour this Mystic Flame into her stomach directly. At the same time, countless of beautiful radiance exploded out from the Mystic Flame like a bloomed flower as it wrapped Dongfang Bingling within. Immediately, Dongfang Binglings charming and delicate body had completely disappeared from Yang Dingtians line of sight. She had been surrounded by a countless amount of Mystic Flame radiance completely. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... Subsequently, the Mystic Flame radiances turned into countless mirages. Every mirage was a stunning beauty and looked exactly similar to Dongfang Bingling. Every Dongfang Binglings mirage was formed from the Mystic Flame radiances. Momentarily, countless of Dongfang Bingling rushed into Dongfang Binglings body crazily. And Yang Dingtian would never be able to forget this scene at all. Countless of stunning Dongfang Bingling radiances were dancing and circulating in the air. It was extremely breathtaking, dazzling, radiant and bizarre. This extremely breathtaking scene continued for three minutes. Ultimately, everything returned to its tranquility gradually. All of the radiances had been dispersed as it revealed Dongfang Bingling, who was seated in a meditative position. S?a??h the N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The current Dongfang Bingling had revealed her outer skin. It was similar to when she had offered herself up to the Mystic Flame, where every part of her seemed transparent. Her pair of beautiful eyes was originally extremely bright and breathtaking. Now, it became even more ice-cold and eye-catching. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian was able to detect a feeble flame combusting at her lower abdomen. Now, Dongfang Bingling had already devoured the Million Spirit Demon Flame completely. Only the refinement process was remaining. The whole refinement process of the Mystic Flame would take about half a month or even longer. Previously, Yan Bieqin had barely continued for less than half an hour. First of all, that was only a Mirage Void Flame. Secondly, even if it were a true Mystic Flame, he would only be able to complete half the refinement process in the first half an hour as subsequently, the refinement process would gradually become slower. Chapter 280: Cold-Blooded Bingling! Chapter 280: Cold-Blooded Bingling!Furthermore, it was impossible to fully refine the Mystic Flame. A genius would only be able to refine 1/10000th of its energy while an outstanding genius would be able to refine 1/1000th of it. The remaining Mystic Flame energy would gradually disperse or vanish into the atmosphere. Of course, it was not of importance to how much Mystic Flame energy had been refined because the utmost importance of refining the Mystic Flame was to possess a living core flame. Anything could be achieved as long as the core flame had its own life. It would be able to mature at its own pace as it would continue to grow stronger. Let alone forging the true soul sword. If the Mystic Flame were used together with the mystic skill, the might of it would increase several times. Most importantly, once you possessed the Mystic Flame, you would be able to circulate the mystic qi absorption at all times. Others would at most be able to do it for four hours because there was too much impurity within the mystic qi. Circulating the mystic qi absorption for four hours was already the limit of the body. With the Mystic Flame, it would be able to purify the mystic qi that was filled with impurity easily. So long as one wishes, they would be able to circulate the mystic qi absorption for 24 hours. Just this point alone would allow the martial artist who possessed the Mystic Flame to cultivate several times faster than an ordinary person. After devouring the Mystic Flame, Dongfang Bingling sat down in a meditative position and shut her eyes while she refined the Mystic Flame energy within her body. Time continued to pass by. Three minutes. Ten minutes. Fifteen minutes. Thirty minutes. All of a sudden, heaven and earth started to shake. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian felt that he had gradually started to sink. Of course, his body wouldnt sink. The Yin Yang Mountain that was born from the lake was starting to drill its way back to the ground. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian was also able to tell that the flame in the Yin Yang Mountain had started to weaken, and the cold ice had started to melt. Read more chapter on vipnovel.com Yang Dingtian couldnt help but sigh. The whole process was about to end. The numerous hardship he had gone through was all taken away by someone else. Meanwhile, it was as if Dongfang Bingling had turned a deaf ear to it and allowed the outside world to change as it wished as she continued to refine the Mystic Flame within her body. Fairy Dongfang, I know that time is very precious to you, and I didnt want to interrupt you. Ba Bi continued, However, the heaven and earth are changing, and the Yin Yang Mountain is about to return to the ground. The flame is about to extinguish and the cold ice is melting. Therefore, it wouldnt be suitable to fulfill our promise then. Would you please stop what you are doing and fulfill the promise first? Yang Dingtians heart instinctively jumped when he heard these words. Fulfill the promise? It wasnt just Dongfang Bingling who wasnt willing to confront it, but the current Yang Dingtian was even more unwilling than her. Dongfang Bingling, an aloof and remote Nine Heavens Fairy that was capable of causing the downfall of a city, was willing to sacrifice her innocence so that she could become stronger? Furthermore, it was to a dying aging old freak? Regardless of how Dongfang Bingling was as a person, it would be the cruelest scene to her. Immediately, Yang Dingtian had no idea how Dongfang Bingling was going to handle it. Perhaps, that cruel oath was merely an interim step for her? However, making an oath in this world was extremely severe. No one would be able to go against it, especially when the oath Dongfang Bingling had made was so ruthless. If she were to violate it, it would cause Yin Yang Sects thousand years foundation to be destroyed in her hands while those Yin Yang Sect ancestors wouldnt be able to rest in peace. Even the despicable Qin Huaiyu, unbridled Dugu Fengu and cunning yet vicious Gudu Wuhuan wouldnt dare to violate the ruthless oath once they established it. Therefore, this level of the oath was even more precious than their own life. However, if she were to fulfill the oath, it would probably be the most tragic scene in this world. Therefore, Yang Dingtian really had no idea how Dongfang Bingling would confront it. Perhaps, shutting her eyes in silence was the best option. She would just need to act as if she didnt hear anything and had lost track of time. However, Yang Dingtian was wrong. Dongfang Bingling immediately opened up her beautiful eyes after Ba Bi had spoken. Fulfill the promise? Sure. Dongfang Bingling replied. Subsequently, she stood up and commented nonchalantly, Come. Yang Dingtian was startled immediately. He had thought of a lot of possibilities but not this. Not only was Yang Dingtian surprised, but even Ba Bi was also extremely shocked by it. As for the dying old freak, his gaze immediately brightened up. He was about to die, and his eyes were already completely withered. Yet, he was able to shoot out a fervent and lusty gaze. It seemed like no man would be able to resist before such a beautiful woman even if they were already someone that was over a hundred years old and about to die. However, when facing this kind of extremely beautiful Nine Heavens Fairy, Ba Bis son didnt dare to have any movements. He acted humbly even though he was extremely aroused, and his eyes were growing in passion. My son is too humble. I would have to trouble Young Lady Dongfang to take the initiative. Ba Bi commented, I can guide you from the side if you arent too skillful in this aspect. After Dongfang Bingling had heard her, she walked over directly. She threw one of the men beside Ba Bi onto the crystal stone before mounting onto him. Yang Dingtian was stupefied completely. Dongfang Bingling was an extremely reserved and arrogant fairy. Yet, she was actually so bold and unconstrained. Of course, Ba Bi was also extremely angry and shocked. However, her shock would never be able to contend against Yang Dingtian. Because the person Dongfang Bingling had pushed over was Yang Dingtian. Correct, Yang Dingtian was pushed down by Dongfang Bingling! Furthermore, she had mounted herself onto Yang Dingtians waist directly. Although they were separated by a layer of skirt, Yang Dingtian was able to feel Dongfang Binglings soft and satiny ample butt. Young Lady Dongfang, what is this supposed to mean? Ba Bi commented coldly. Dongfang Bingling replied, Didnt I follow your desire? I took the initiative to fulfill my promise and is about to have sexual intercourse with your son. Ba Bi continued, However, the man you had pushed over isnt my son but Shen Lang. The other man there is my son. This isnt right. Dongfang Bingling replied, Judging from their age, this man beneath me ought to be your son. And the other man is clearly your grandfather. Ba Bis gaze turned cold, Young Lady Dongfang, dont try to play tricks with me. Remember, you had used the Yin Yang Sects thousand years foundation and your ancestors to make the oath. Furthermore, you had clearly stated that it was the man on my right. Correct. The man Im riding on right now is at your right. Dongfang Bingling replied. Rubbish. Shen Lang was clearly on my left. Ba Bi commented. Subsequently, Ba Bis complexion changed as she replied angrily, Dongfang Bingling, youre playing tricks. Correct, Dongfang Bingling was playing dirty. When Ba Bi said the man on her right, it was from her line of sight. However, Dongfang Binglings right was according to her line of sight. Both of them were standing opposite each other. Therefore, their right was totally opposite of each other. Young Lady Dongfang, is there any meaning for you to play such a move? Ba Bi took out her sword, Dont think that I wouldnt dare to kill you. After she spoke, Ba Bi was about to turn hostile and make her move. Dongfang Bingling stood up from Yang Dingtians body, Im sorry, senior. I have misunderstood. Whoever meets these two men, they would think that the young one is your son. After she spoke, Dongfang Bingling walked towards Ba Bis son. Currently, Ba Bis complexion had turned somewhat better. While Dongfang Bingling approached, the body of Ba Bis aged son started to tremble as if he would die at any given moment. Meanwhile, Yang Dingtians heart was filled with mixed feelings. The current him wished he could faint as he wasnt willing to watch the following scene. Dongfang Bingling walked to the side of Ba Bis son and sighed softly as if she were extremely helpless and sorrowful about it. You can start, Young Lady Dongfang. Ba Bi smiled complacently, And have sexual intercourse with my son while transferring a portion of the Mystic Flame energy into my sons body. He is an extremely handsome man once he recovered his youth. It wouldnt be counted as a humiliation to you. Dongfang Bingling smiled faintly. All of a sudden, Dongfang Bingling took out her sword and placed it on Ba Bi sons neck. S?a??h the n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Ba Bis complexion turned ugly and spoke coldly, Dongfang Bingling, what are you doing? Are you seeking death? Destroy your own mystic meridians. Otherwise, I will kill your son immediately. Dongfang Bingling commented coldly. Ba Bi shivered, Dongfang Bingling, dont forget, you had established the oath. Dongfang Bingling replied, Correct. In this world, an oath is more important than life. However... that is for others. To me, an oath is worthless. Ten years ago, I had already made an even crueler oath. Furthermore, I had violated it not long after. Currently, Yang Dingtian was stunned. Unexpectedly, the situation would become like this. Dongfang Bingling had actually used Ba Bis son as the hostage and threatened Ba Bi to destroy her own meridians. However, no one would be willing to do such a thing. Destroy my own meridian? Ba Bi laughed coldly, Do you think that Im that foolish? If you arent going to do it, your son will have to die. Dongfang Bingling commented coldly. I treasure my son like my life. Ba Bi continued, However, I know that if Im to destroy my own meridians, the both of us will have to die. Subsequently, Ba Bi continued, On the contrary, you wouldnt dare to injure my son even if Im not going to destroy my own mystic meridians. You think I wouldnt dare? Dongfang Bingling replied. Of course, you wouldnt dare. Ba Bi commented, You still needed to use my sons life to preserve yours. Therefore, you will never dare to injure a single hair of my sons. Whoosh... Dongfang Binglings sword flashed, and blood came spurting out. Ba Bi aged sons head had been severed as it flew up. Yang Dingtian was stupefied completely! It was completely impossible to anticipate how Dongfang Bingling would handle any matter. Yang Dingtian also felt that Dongfang Bingling would never dare to kill Ba Bis son because he was an extremely precious hostage. However, who knew that Dongfang Bingling would actually sever his head off. Yang Dingtian had never once anticipated such action from Dongfang Bingling. Meanwhile, Ba Bi was as if she were struck by lightning. She stared at how her sons head had been severed off blankly. There wasnt any scream. Without any preparation, her son had died before her, causing her to lose any chances to react. Chapter 281: Mutual Destruction? Chapter 281: Mutual Destruction?Phoenix Primal Disk... Just as Ba Bi was appalled, Dongfang Binglings beautiful eyes turned cold. Her entire delicate body and the sword in her hands had abruptly turned into a shining blue phoenix. It then attacked Ba Bi. Boom... Ba Bi, who was shocked, couldnt even react and was immediately struck by Dongfang Bingling. The blue phoenix radiance smashed into Ba Bis body and burst out with horrifying blue light. Pfff... An arrow of blood had shot out over a few dozen meters while Ba Bis body flew like rice straw and crashed into the water. Dongfang Bingling stood charmingly and chased after Ba Bi, like a shooting star while she thrust with her sharp sword. In an instant, Ba Bis body was thrust over a hundred times. Fresh blood spurted violently and caused a bloody mess on her body. You can die now. Dongfang Bingling said coldly. She lifted her sword and slashed down at Ba Bis head. Die together. At this moment, Ba Bi had awakened from the agony and shock of losing her son. In just half a minute, her beautiful face had already turned old and was filled with wrinkles. She looked just like an old woman who was 100 years old. Immediately after, her small abdomen puffed up and was shining with terrifying radiance. Thats right, she was going to explode her qi vessel and end up in mutual destruction with Dongfang Bingling. Ba Bi might be on the losing side now, but she was still at the Master class. Once she exploded, even if Dongfang Bingling didnt die, she would be severely injured. Of course, exploding ones own qi vessel would require time. Hence, Dongfang Bingling had to escape right now and as far as possible. She had to leave the lethal range of Ba Bis explosion. If it were Yang Dingtian, he would definitely leave. After all, Ba Bi would be blown into smithereens after exploding. But Dongfang Binglings choice had stunned Yang Dingtian again. She didnt dodge or try to escape, she was still wielding her sword and slashing at Ba Bis head. Ba Bi, who was now a 100-year-old woman, was charging at Dongfang Bingling in a frenzy. She opened up her arms and hugged Dongfang Bingling to perish along with her. Swish... Dongfang Binglings sword radiance flashed. Instantly, Ba Bis head was split into two. Fresh blood sprayed out, and brain juices were splattered. Boom... At the same moment, Ba Bis qi vessel suddenly exploded. It felt as though a guided missile was shot into the unfreezing pool that was 1,000-meter deep. A giant and torrential wave erupted. Dongfang Binglings delicate body was like a flower that was blown by the violent wind. She then vanished without a trace, and the torrential waves had engulfed Dongfang Binglings body. When Ba Bi was blown into smithereens, the surrounding waters had also been dyed red. Yang Dingtian was in the crystal space under the water and was a hundred meters away from Ba Bis explosion. But the strange thing was that the explosion didnt impact Yang Dingtian at all. He didnt even feel a hint of aftershock. The crystal space was indeed the place that gave birth to the Mystic Flame. This place could almost isolate all outside attacks. But at this moment, Dongfang Bingling had already completely vanished from Yang Dingtians vision. The entire unfreezing pool looked like it was boiling and was surging violently. Right now, Yang Dingtian was truly in a deep shock. Dongfang Binglings aggressive temper was far beyond his imagination. Ba Bi was a Master class expert, and her cultivation was ultimately superior to Dongfang Bingling, and if Ba Bi were hostile, she was an absolute danger. But Dongfang Bingling was actually brave enough to kill her son and cause a mental disruption to Ba Bi. She then didnt hesitate as she used her finishing blow to kill Ba Bi. In regards to Ba Bis self-explosion for mutual destruction, Dongfang Bingling must have had absolute mental preparation, but she was still so brave. The entire process from the killing of Ba Bis son to create a mental disruption, to the decisive action of killing a superior Ba Bi, was filled with intelligence, decisiveness, and risk. At least, in terms of decisiveness, Dongfang Bingling was utterly unmatched. Perhaps in this world, no one could make Dongfang Bingling yield. Yang Dingtian desperately searched the unfreezing pool. The explosion of a Master class expert was very remarkable, and Dongfang Bingling was only a Martial Supreme. At such point-blank range, Dongfang Binglings fate truly boded ill. But she was still the daughter of Yang Dingtians master. Furthermore, for unknown reasons, the hatred that Yang Dingtian had for Dongfang Bingling had gradually been replaced by admiration. This womans willpower and unyielding character was truly something Yang Dingtian was unable to understand. After taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian plunged into the surging pool and started to search for Dongfang Bingling. As soon as Yang Dingtian jumped into the water, he immediately felt the energy blast that nearly caused him to vomit a mouthful of blood. The explosion of a Master class expert was indeed incredible. A period of time had already elapsed, and the distance was 100 meters away; however, the aftershock of the remaining energy was still so fearsome. It just further proved how much impact Dongfang Bingling had to endure at such a close distance. It also meant to say that the impact that Dongfang Bingling experienced was far beyond a full-powered mystic skill of a Master. For a Martial Supreme to experience such an intense attack, it was the same as facing death. After enduring the fearsome energy, Yang Dingtian desperately swam to search for Dongfang Binglings figure. After swimming a few hundred meters and searching for many places, he was still unable to see Dongfang Binglings figure. But when he was in the water, he would see plenty of pieces of flesh. Yang Dingtians heart jolted, Dongfang Bingling couldnt have been blasted into pieces, right? Immediately after, Yang Dingtian searched even more desperately. S?a??h th? N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. By now, the remaining energy in the unfreezing pool was gradually dispersing, and the pool was slowly regaining its serenity, and the visibility was increasing. Yang Dingtian was anxiously searching, and he looked a little like a headless fly. But, he was still unable to find Dongfang Binglings figure. Could Dongfang Bingling have perished like this? Suddenly, Yang Dingtians heart had a feeling like a large piece had fallen off. Of course, this was a heartache. Dongfang Bingling was his greatest rival in this lifetime, and she was the target he had been striving for all this time. If she perished just like this, then Yang Dingtian would lose half the significance for striving so desperately. After desperately searching through the entire pool, Yang Dingtian extended his hands and allowed himself to float in the water in pain. For a moment, he had lost all emotions, and his entire heart had felt like it had been completely emptied. Right at this moment, a person suddenly patted Yang Dingtian from behind. Are you looking for me? A familiar voice echoed from behind. It was Dongfang Binglings unique voice that was icy cold and very clear. It was like shattered jade and also the sound of a breaking ice pillar. Yang Dingtian turned around, and his heart thudded. The person behind him was indeed Dongfang Bingling and a completely unscathed Dongfang Bingling. She didnt have any wounds or blood, but... Chapter 282: Sully and Trust! Chapter 282: Sully and Trust!But all the clothes on her body had been blasted into ashes because of the battle earlier. As such, Yang Dingtian was stunned again. This was truly a flawless body. This might be the only flawless body that Yang Dingtian had seen. Every inch of her body felt like it was sculpted with icy snow and white jade. If she had 10% more, she would be plump, and if she had 10% less, she would be skinny. It didnt matter which angle Yang Dingtian looked from, it was still flawless. Yang Dingtian finally knew the meaning of the icy jade beauty. She was truly like a sculpture of white jade and was extremely beautiful and pure. It felt as though a single touch would cause her to melt. Perhaps, the Nine Heavens Fairy, Dongfang Bingling, was this worlds most perfect woman. In response to Yang Dingtians eyes, Dongfang Bingling didnt have any unnecessary reaction. She then turned her charming body around like a mermaid and swam down. Yang Dingtian desperately tried to regain his senses before he swam down too. *** Soon enough, the duo swam out of the unfreezing pool and returned to the red crystals space. Dongfang Binglings charming body didnt have a single thread remaining. Her clothes must have been shattered during Ba Bis explosion. At this moment, the surface was still rumbling. The Yin Yang Mountain that was a few thousand meters was still gradually sinking. Endless ice was still melting progressively. After swimming down, Dongfang Binglings beautiful eyes stared at Yang Dingtian. At this moment, Yang Dingtian felt a little uneasy. Perhaps, Dongfang Bingling had already found out his identity. Otherwise, why would she use such eyes to look at him? Shen Lang, can you help me? After a long time, Dongfang Bingling suddenly spoke. Yang Dingtian was startled as Dongfang Bingling was still addressing him as Shen Lang. Could she still not know that he was Yang Dingtian? Furthermore, she was actually asking for his help. What kind of help? Yang Dingtian asked. I have suffered extremely grave injuries and will have to go into an icebound state to recuperate. I will also be refining the remaining Mystic Flames energy. During this time, I will be completely unconscious and will not react to anything on the outside. Anyone would be able to kill me. Dongfang Bingling carried on saying, As such, I will need you to protect me by the side and to wake me up one month later. I have to wake you up? Yang Dingtian asked with surprise. Thats right. My injuries are too severe, and I have to go into a hibernation state. Hence, I will need someone to wake me from outside. Dongfang Bingling then said, If I rely on myself, I will never be able to wake up again. How do I wake you up? Yang Dingtian asked. My body has a fatal and vital acupuncture point. As long as you pierce a needle there, even if I am in the deepest meditation, I will still instantly wake up. Dongfang Bingling stated. If I know of this vital part, wouldnt it be very dangerous? Yang Dingtian asked. That is correct. Dongfang Bingling replied. Where is that vital point? Yang Dingtian asked again. Jinmen acupuncture point. If you dont have a needle, you can also use your sword. Dongfang Bingling said. S?a??h th? N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtians face was instantly flushed red. Because the acupuncture point that Dongfang Bingling mentioned was too sensitive. However, when Dongfang Bingling mentioned it, her face didnt have a trace of bashfulness or embarrassment. It was as though that acupuncture point was just on her arm or back. Of course, if I dont wake up by then, it would mean that... Im already dead. Dongfang Bingling explained. Yang Dingtian asked with a surprised tone, Dead? How is that possible? You look perfectly fine right now. Dongfang Bingling glanced at Yang Dingtian and replied, The chances of me waking up again is probably less than ten-percent. What? Yang Dingtian exclaimed, How is that possible? You look like you are totally fine... Pfff... Before Yang Dingtian finished his statement, a mouthful of fresh blood was vomited from Dongfang Binglings petite mouth. The blood directly splattered on Yang Dingtians face. That old woman was a Master. Her suicide explosion has ruptured 39 parts of my mystic meridians. If it were anyone else, they would have been blasted into pieces. Dongfang Bingling then added, Of course, I have also narrowly escaped with my life. Before Dongfang Bingling finished, she fell over on the ground and was actually unable to push herself back up. Yang Dingtian quickly helped her up and said, When Ba Bi exploded, why didnt you retreat far away? She was obviously going to die, why did you have to slash at her head? Because she threatened me... because she sullied my honor. Dongfang Bingling spoke with a cold voice, Thus, I had to end her life personally. From the tone, it was obvious that Dongfang Bingling was enraged. Yang Dingtian replied with amazement, Your chastity is still around, right? Ba Bis son didnt even touch a single hair on your body. Dongfang Bingling snorted, That old beggar used her words to sully my innocence. It still isnt for me to kill her and her son. After I get out of this place, I will exterminate her entire clan and not let any survivors. Yang Dingtian was truly able to feel Dongfang Binglings surging hatred at this moment. But, I saw that you werent paying too much mind to it earlier, though. Yang Dingtian said, When Ba Bi proposed for you to tribute your chastity, you didnt seem to be very angry. Do I need to reveal my anger? Dongfang Bingling replied in an indifferent voice, Im this worlds most pure and holy woman with utmost pride. No one can sully my nobility. Even though Yang Dingtian knew he shouldnt say it, but he couldnt help it, Then, what about me seeing you too... Dongfang Bingling looked at Yang Dingtian for a long time and sighed, Did you do it intentionally? Do you have the intention to see my body? Yang Dingtian shook his head and said, Of course not. Dongfang Bingling continued, Then, will you sully me when I am unconscious? Of course not. Yang Dingtian replied. Exactly. Dongfang Bingling said, I place great importance to my nobility, but I am not inflexible. We are in this current state, and it is inevitable. If you dont have the intention to sully me, then my purity wouldnt be tainted. Alright, I dont have any more strength to talk with you. You just need to say if you are willing to protect me. Are you willing to stab me at my Jinmen acupuncture point 30 days later to wake me up? Dongfang Bingling asked. I can promise you. Yang Dingtian then said, But I need you to answer one question. When you were interrupted during the Sacrifice, you actually required one month to resuscitate fully. I used one-third of my blood and transferred it into the body to thaw your body. After thawing, your cultivation had vanished completely, and you werent even able to defeat Yan Bieqin and were knocked out by him. Afterward, how did you wake up and regain all your mystic qi? Yang Dingtians other purpose in this question was very clear. He was asking if Dongfang Bingling were feigning when she was icebound previously. After he resuscitated her with his blood transfusion, was she also feigning that she was weak and had been knocked out by Yan Bieqin? If it were the case, then Dongfang Bingling was truly a cunning person. Dongfang Bingling looked at Yang Dingtian and replied, Do you know that when I entered the Sacrifice, I had to hand over my soul and willpower to the ice energy in the surroundings? Of course, the person who is in the Sacrifice wouldnt have any memory and awareness. As such, up till now, I still dont know how I was interrupted during the second part of the Sacrifice. Of course, maybe I, too, wish to know the reason behind it. Dongfang Binglings final statement had a deep meaning. Immediately after, Dongfang Bingling carried on talking, Also, your blood transfusion allowed me to resuscitate but was powerless. But a short moment later, why did I suddenly recover? I can only say that when I woke up abruptly, all my mystic qi had recovered. That was also the moment when the Million Spirit Demon Flame bloomed. After hearing Dongfang Binglings answer, Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, Thank you for the answer. I will protect you, and I will wake you up one month later. But, are your chances of waking up only 10%? Look here. Dongfang Bingling pointed at her qi vessel. Yang Dingtian was flushed red again. The qi vessel was also the abdomen, and it was a part that was rather private for a lady. When Yang Dingtian saw Dongfang Binglings qi vessel area, he noticed there were countless red marks and were spreading out like a net. Dongfang Binglings qi vessel was actually about to break. Her qi vessel was affected by the explosion, so she really only had a 10% chance of waking up. Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, Perhaps, I can help you wake up one month later. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian reached into his clothes and took out an elixir that contained the holy water. He then put it at Dongfang Binglings mouth and said, Eat it. Without any hesitation, Dongfang Bingling opened her mouth and consumed Yang Dingtians elixir. After consuming it, a red blush appeared on her face. Dongfang Bingling opened her beautiful eyes and revealed a radiance of disbelief. Furthermore, the marks at her qi vessel were slowly fading. Dont ask why and dont ask where it came from. Yang Dingtian asked, Right now, do you still need to enter hibernation and meditate? Dongfang Bingling nodded, I still need to. It doesnt matter if I have fully recovered or if I refined most of the Mystic Flames energy. But what if I dont fulfill the promise? Wouldnt you get stuck in hibernation forever? Isnt this too much of a risk just to refine the Mystic Flames energy? Yang Dingtian questioned. I trust you. Dongfang Bingling said, Furthermore, this Million Spirit Demon Flame is extremely rare. It can allow me to become the worlds strongest in the shortest amount of time. I must not miss out on it. Immediately after, Dongfang Bingling said, Shen Lang, you have to remember, if you encounter danger, you have to wake me. It doesnt matter when. Chapter 283: The Final Splendidly Red Flames! Chapter 283: The Final Splendidly Red Flames!Immediately after, Dongfang Bingling sat cross-legged on the crystal and closed her beautiful eyes slowly. She then entered the deepest hibernation and meditation. Yang Dingtian could clearly feel Dongfang Binglings heart rate getting slower and slower until it was almost a complete stop. Her breaths were also getting slower and slower until they almost stopped too. Only mystic qi was flowing on her entire body. At this moment, Dongfang Bingling would never wake up unless Yang Dingtian woke her up. Furthermore, no matter what Yang Dingtian did to her now, she wouldnt stop him, and she would be powerless to resist. In fact, she wouldnt even know. But Yang Dingtian naturally wouldnt do such a thing. Furthermore, his heart was in a very complex and absurd state. Dongfang Bingling was his greatest enemy, and if she got stronger, it would only make his fight against her even more difficult, four years later. But Yang Dingtian actually saved her life consecutively. Furthermore, he had created this condition for her to become stronger. This was the same as supplying the enemy with weapons! *** When Dongfang Bingling was awake, Yang Dingtian could endure the temptation to look at her. Now that she was utterly unconscious, Yang Dingtian couldnt bring himself to look at her at all as it would make him appear to be shameless. Hence, his back was facing Dongfang Bingling as he started the mystic qi absorption. At this moment, the central lakes drastic transformation was nearing the end. The flames of the Yin Yang Mountain had been completely extinguished, and the ice had been completely melted. The mountain that had appeared out of nowhere had vanished into the central lake without a trace. From the moment the Yin Yang Mountain appeared to its disappearance was roughly one hour. The Yin Yang Mountain was probably the tallest in the Burial Land, and in theory, the half-human tribes in the vicinity should be able to see such a tall mountain. Furthermore, this mountain had such unique traits. Half of it was fire while the other half was ice. It would attract anyones attention. But when Yang Dingtian asked around previously, almost no one knew about it except for Ba Bi. The reason was simple. When the Yin Yang Mountain was rising, it was covered in mist. The entire Yin Yang Mountain would be covered in mist. Unless one entered the mist, it was impossible to see it. As for the story between Ba Bi and Li Tianxiao. Why would Ba Bi be able to live over 200 years old? Why would the Mystic Flames map be with Li Tianxiao? Why would Li Tianxiao leave Ba Bi and return to the dangerous Southwest Continent? All those questions would be a riddle. Right now, the entire central lake was defrosted, and the lake had regained its clarity. In short, everything went back to normal. Yang Dingtian took a deep sigh again. To obtain this Mystic Flame, he had invested a lot, racked his brains, risked his life to obtain the other half of the Mystic Flames map from the Qin Clans father and son. He then went through all the trouble to find the location of the Mystic Flame. There were plenty of twists and turns, like how he escaped from Qin Huaiyu and the others evil clutches and had also rescued Dongfang Bingling. To obtain this Mystic Flame, Yang Dingtian had invested the most. But ultimately, the Mystic Flame was obtained by Dongfang Bingling while Yan Bieqing obtained the other Mirage Void Flame. Could it be that Yang Dingtian was destined not to obtain the Mystic Flame? If that were the case, what should he do for the martial contest of the city lord position that was happening in a few months? What about his soul sword? During the martial contest, his greatest enemy would be Ximen Ju, who was a Martial Supreme. However, the heavens might not have completely forsaken him. The red crystal was filled with mystic qi, and he was able to cultivate for 24 hours in this place. Doing so would give him a cultivation speed that was several times faster than the outside. With the remaining time he had, he would probably break through by close to ten levels. Of course, even if he broke through by ten levels, he would only be a Martial Ancestor, and it was still far from enough. It seemed like he could only take one step at a time. He must not completely give up just because he couldnt obtain the Mystic Flame. If he gave up, it would mean all hopes were lost. In short, one must not despair, and one would be able to find a way through. Without a doubt, Yang Dingtian was unyielding and filled with determination. But the thing that was about to happen next would make his heart turn completely cold. Because... He realized that the mystic qi from the red crystal was gradually weakening. It would completely vanish in the end! If the crystals space ran out of oxygen, it could be replaced with special elixirs. But if there were no mystic qi, then wouldnt it be better to cultivate on the outside? If he had to cultivate on the outside, the speed would truly be the same as a tortoise speed. It meant that Yang Dingtian had no chances to win the martial contest that was happening in a few months. Yang Dingtians heart was utterly cold, and he was enraged! s?a??h th? N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. He lifted his head and roared with rage, Heavens, why are you treating me like this? It is fine even if I cannot obtain the Mystic Flame, why would you even seize my last hope? Of course, the heavens werent going to reply to Yang Dingtian. In fact, above him was a lake of water, and Yang Dingtians voice could only echo in this small space. The energy from the red crystal below him was getting weaker and weaker. It was the same as placing a boiling pot of water into the icy cold air that quickly sapped the heat. Finally, the red crystal had lost all the mystic qi energy. Yang Dingtian was truly in despair. He turned around and looked at the beautiful Dongfang Bingling. His heart surged with endless unwillingness and endless sorrow! If he had forsaken everything and given up on everything, he would have lunged on Dongfang Bingling and used the most violent method to ravage her. He would vent all his anger and rage onto her body. But Yang Dingtian had his pride, and he wouldnt touch her with even a single finger even if this woman were the worlds most beautiful woman, even if this woman were his greatest enemy in the world. I will comply with the heavens decree, but I still will not give up. Yang Dingtian said slowly. Subsequently, he stood up. All of a sudden, there was a weak radiance in front of his eyes! Immediately after, a splendidly red flame appeared out of nowhere. In the beginning, it was only one inch, then it gradually expanded and grew. Yang Dingtian was completely stunned! He stared at the flame while all his thoughts had frozen. He didnt know if he should be appalled or should he be in ecstasy. He had lost all of his ability to react. What exactly was this flame? Could it be a Mystic Flame? It shouldnt be the case. Dongfang Bingling had already consumed the Million Spirit Demon Flame. That was definitely a Mystic Flame. Furthermore, the Yin Yang Mountain had already vanished, and the next appearance of the Mystic Flame would be in 200 hundred years. But, what exactly was this flame? Just as Yang Dingtian was in bewilderment, the flame was gradually growing. One inch. Two inches. Three inches. Four inches. Finally, when it was nine inches, it had stopped growing. Furthermore, it was different from the Mystic Flame that Yang Dingtian witnessed previously. Chapter 284: Demon Flame Choosing the Host! Monarch Flame! Chapter 284: Demon Flame Choosing the Host! Monarch Flame!Furthermore, it was different from the Mystic Flame that Yang Dingtian witnessed previously. This flame didnt give off any sense of vitality, and there wasnt any spirituality either. The Mirage Void Flame that Yan Bieqin consumed was filled with vitality. But this flame looked like it didnt have any vitality at all. Furthermore, no heat felt from it, as well. It was even weaker than the coal-seam fire that Yang Dingtian used to forge his youngling sword. If it didnt have any vitality, then it wasnt a Mystic Flame. If this wasnt a Mystic Flame, what exactly was this flame? It didnt matter what flame this was as Yang Dingtian wasnt going to give up on this final hope. Even though the flame didnt seem to have any vitality, Yang Dingtian would know if it were a Mystic Flame as soon as he poured his mystic qi and divine senses inside. If it were a Mystic Flame, it would immediately respond. Yang Dingtian held his breath and mixed his divine senses into his mystic qi before he slowly approached the flame. Yang Dingtian witnessed how the Mirage Void Flame quickly leaned over when there was mystic qi in the vicinity. But this flame in front of him didnt have any reaction. Yang Dingtians mystic qi and divine senses were still getting closer. Ten inches. Eight inches. Five inches. Three inches. One inch. Yang Dingtian nearly suffocated. He wished with all his heart that this flame was a Mystic Flame even though he knew that such a possibility was near impossible. But this was truly his final hope! I will let the heavens decide everything! It doesnt matter if it were a Mystic Flame or not, I shall accept my fate. Yang Dingtian said in his heart before allowing his mystic qi to rush in. There was no response. One second... Two seconds... S?a??h the N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Three seconds... Half a minute had passed. The flame still didnt respond. Yang Dingtians divine senses and mystic qi felt as though it had entered a normal flame or a wooden block. Yang Dingtians heart and body were getting increasingly colder. As expected, a miracle didnt happen. Finally, all the cold and disappointment turned into a sigh. Why was it like this? How did it become like this? Yang Dingtian practically didnt cry before, and he didnt cry now either. He wasnt going to cry because of a setback, but in reality, he really wanted to cry right now. It wasnt because of his emotions but for his frustrations. He had done a lot of things and went through endless hardships to reach his objective. Right now, the Mystic Flame was the most important thing to him, and he was about to fail. Could it be that he had used up all his luck? This setback was truly the greatest setback Yang Dingtian had experienced. He wasnt going to cry, but he truly wanted to. Wuu! Wuu... Suddenly, Yang Dingtian heard a sorrowful sobbing sound. But I am not crying? Yang Dingtian was stunned. Could it be that his heart wanted to cry so much that it produced an illusion? But immediately after, the sobbing sound got louder, stranger, and scarier. Subsequently, the flame started to roam around. This space wasnt big at all, so the flame was roaming around very carefully and seriously. It would stop after shifting for a few inches to sense the surroundings before it shifted a few inches again. As it was moving, it sobbed at the same time. The sobbing sound was getting louder and sharper. It felt as though there were millions of people wailing by Yang Dingtians ear. This feeling had caused him to tremble. In the end, the sobbing sound got even more bizarre. It didnt just disrupt a persons mind, it felt as though it even tried to seize the soul. It seemingly tried to dig into the depths of the spirit and to disperse the soul. At this moment, the flame had drifted to Dongfang Binglings side. It was sobbing and getting closer to Dongfang Bingling as though it was going to smell her presence. When it got close to Dongfang Bingling, the flame suddenly danced. Yang Dingtian was stunned. Could this flame have fancied Dongfang Bingling? But she already devoured a Mystic Flame. Moreover, Yang Dingtian had a strange and vague feeling that the flame was searching for something on its own accord. It had a very serious attitude and was also very proud. Could it really be a Mystic Flame? Just as Yang Dingtian had that thought, the flame suddenly flew in front of Yang Dingtian and was just a few inches from his eye. Immediately after, the flame abruptly changed into a form of sword and plunged into Yang Dingtians eye. Yang Dingtian got a shock and instinctively took a step back. Because when the flame was extremely close to Yang Dingtian, he could clearly see that there were countless human figures inside the flame. All of the figures were struggling with agony and howling in grief and pain. It felt as though they were being tormented in the purgatory. The horrifying sobbing sound was actually the wailings of the countless people inside the flame. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian was appalled when he realized that the flame didnt have a huge change. But the human faces on the surface of the flame were increasing and getting more crowded until it was completely packed. The nine inches of flame was overflowing with countless distorted faces, and it was still increasing to tens of thousands. In the end, when there was no more space for the faces to fit in, the faces started to transform. It started with ten, a few dozens then a few hundreds of faces actually shared a single face. Each face was rapidly transforming. Finally, the countless number of faces formed a large face. The entire nine inches of the flame had formed a face, a sinister and agonizing face. Furthermore, this face was also constantly transforming. For a moment, it would be a human face, then it would be a Foxmans face, then the Wolfmans face. At this moment, Yang Dingtian had a feeling that this was perhaps the true Million Spirit Demon Flame. So perhaps, this Mystic Flame was different from Dongfang Binglings Mystic Flame, this might be a Monarch Flame! But, it wasnt logical. The Mystic Flame that Yan Bieqin devoured could be considered a Mirage Void Flame, but the Mystic Flame that Dongfang Bingling absorbed was definitely a demon flame. There was no reason for two false flames to appear. But what exactly was this bizarre flame in front of Yang Dingtian? It was so similar to the Million Spirit Demon Flame. But even if it were the Million Spirit Demon Flame, Yang Dingtian wasnt able to do anything to it. Because when he poured his mystic qi and divine senses inside, it was the same as mud sinking into the sea as there was no reaction. Moreover, the sobbing sound was getting louder at Yang Dingtians ear, and it was getting increasingly horrific. Previously, it had merely entered the ear, but now, it was entirely inside the soul. It was an overwhelming mental bombardment, and Yang Dingtian was about to collapse. Countless sinister faces were entering his eyes and going into his mind. The endless sobbing voice was entering his ears and going into his divine senses. Yang Dingtian felt that his mind was going to explode, so were the blood vessels in his entire body. And at this moment, the flame with the sinister face was getting closer and closer to Yang Dingtian. In the end, there was a boom sound. The flame had suddenly exploded and shattered into countless faces. In a split second, the narrow space was filled with flaming faces. It wasnt only so. The number of faces was increasing after the explosion. There were so many flaming faces that it started to spread into the 1,000-meter unfreezing pool above. Suddenly, the 1,000-meter unfreezing pool started to evaporate meter by meter. The entire space was flooded with countless flaming faces. At last, the entire bottom of the central lake was filled with many faces that were formed by flames. Every single face was sinister; every single face was warping with pain; every single face was wailing. No one witnessed this horrific scene. If someone were to see it, they would probably remember this horrific and shocking scene for their entire life. Each face was less than two inches in size, but it had covered 100 miles at the bottom of the lake. Furthermore, there were layers upon layers, and it was simply endless. Who would believe that all the flaming faces were actually split out from a nine-inch flame? The Million Spirit Demon Flame was as the name implied as there were a million demon flames. Using the East Parting Grassland as a fire attribute energy, using millions of grieving souls on the Burial Land as spirits. After thousands of years, the overbearing Million Spirit Demon Flame was finally born. But Yang Dingtian wasnt able to see this scene at all. The flames enveloped his entire body, and his mind was filled with hundreds of thousands of terrifying scenes, there were so many scenes that his mind wasnt able to fit anything else. The Million Spirit Demon Flame had split up and overflowed. It finally stopped when the entire central lake was filled up. Immediately after, the first grieving spirit demon flame turned into a stream of light and was buried into Yang Dingtians body. Then the second one, the third one, the fourth one, the fifth, the sixth, and so on. Countless grieving spirit demon flames were rushing to Yang Dingtians body at an insane pace. Yang Dingtians body looked as though it was burning with fire as his body was thoroughly red and his clothes had turned into ashes. Right now, he and Dongfang Bingling were facing each other with naked bodies. But both of them were unconscious. It looked like countless meteors and stars were gathering into Yang Dingtians body. In just a few minutes, a million grieving spirit demon flames had all entered Yang Dingtians body. ... There was a question now. If the Million Spirit Demon Flame had entered Yang Dingtians body, what did Dongfang Bingling devour? This was a question that no one would be able to answer because no one devoured the Million Spirit Demon Flame before. Without a doubt, the flame that entered Yang Dingtians body was the true Million Spirit Demon Flame, a pure fire attribute demon flame. The flame that Dongfang Bingling absorbed was also a Mystic Flame, but it wasnt formed with the East Parting Grasslands fire attribute energy. It was a Mystic Flame that was formed by the yin qi of the one million malicious spirits. Her flame had nothing to do with fire attribute as it was entirely the ice attribute, and it was the worlds rarest ice attribute Mystic Flame. If someone knew that Dongfang Bingling obtained an ice attribute Mystic Flame, the entire world would go crazy. As such, the East Parting Grassland didnt just have one Mystic Flame, it had two. One was yin, and the other was yang. It was the reason why the Yin Yang Mountain that emerged from the lake was half fire and half ice. Dongfang Bingling had obtained a yin flame while Yang Dingtian obtained the Mystic Flame that was formed by the yang flame! Chapter 285: Mystic Flame Refinement, Insane Breakthrough! Chapter 285: Mystic Flame Refinement, Insane Breakthrough!The ice attribute yin flame had bloomed first; hence, there was the appearance of the 1,000-meter unfreezing pool and also why the entire 100 miles of the lake was frozen. Dongfang Binglings mystic qi had recovered due to the blooming of the yin flame. The overwhelming energy was completely unmatched. After the yin flame bloomed, the freezing ice started to thaw, and the unfreezing water had lost its terrifying chill. Just as everyone assumed that the Million Spirit Demon Flame had finished blooming, the true Million Spirit Demon Flame bloomed. Dongfang Binglings Mystic Flame was a Million Spirit Yin Flame, and it was formed with a million grieving spirits yin qi. The Million Spirit Demon Flame that came after was the combination of the East Parting Grasslands fire attribute energy and a million grieving spirits divine senses. How powerful was it? It was very obvious. The true Million Spirit Demon Flame was unlike other Mystic Flames. It was extremely proud, horrific, and bizarre. The other Mystic Flames would need to attract martial artists to provide their mystic qi and divine senses. But the Million Spirit Demon Flame would search for its own host. The true Million Spirit Demon Flame was proud and arrogant. It wouldnt allow others to devour it and would choose the martial artist instead. It first went to sense Dongfang Bingling before it quickly left and ultimately chose Yang Dingtian. The reason was very simple. It was because Yang Dingtian had the Nine Yang Mystic Meridians. It felt that only such mystic meridians would be worthy for it to reside in. One could say that even if Yang Dingtian were unconscious now, it would be useless even if there were someone else trying to consume this Million Spirit Demon Flame. This demon flame would still choose Yang Dingtian, and it would still enter Yang Dingtians body. As such, the Million Spirit Demon Flame was destined to reside in Yang Dingtians qi vessel, and it was an undeniable fact. In fact, during the entire process, Yang Dingtian was unconscious. When the Million Spirit Demon Flame split into countless grieving spirit flames and entered his body, he was in an unconscious state. The Million Spirit Demon Flame was automatically refined in his mystic meridians. It then slowly entered the qi vessel, but Yang Dingtian was still unconscious. In fact, Yang Dingtian was still unconscious when he was constantly having breakthroughs! ... If there were a pair of eyes watching, that person would be able to see clearly that Yang Dingtians body was blazing like a flame. Countless streaks of red light were flowing into his qi vessel from all parts of his body. His entire body was already extremely dazzling, but his qi vessel was so dazzling that it was the same as the sun in the sky. No one would be able to look at it directly. When his qi vessel was shining at its brightest, it felt as though his body was going to be burned into ashes in an instant. Boom... The qi vessel burst out with radiance. It was the same as the explosion of a guided missile. The entire space was plunged into a blinding white light. The crystals space was shining with extreme brightness. Thus, nothing was visible. This was the moment Yang Dingtians qi vessel broke through. Of course, he was still unconscious while Dongfang Bingling was still in deep hibernation. Therefore, no one saw this amazing scene. Just like that, countless streams of light continued to gush into his qi vessel from all parts of his body. The qi vessel was getting brighter and brighter until it reached the limit again. There was another boom, and a burst of white light, causing everything to become shrouded in radiance as Yang Dingtian broke through again. Just like that, Yang Dingtians body would burst with radiance at intervals. In the beginning, there would be an explosion every hour. Afterward, there was an explosion every two hours. ... Then it was once every half a day. Once every day. Once every two days. Once every four days. Once every eight days. Once every half a month. Once every month. *** When Yang Dingtian was still unconscious, the intervals of the breakthrough would get longer and longer. As the qi vessel constantly broke through, the flaming light on Yang Dingtians body would fade. The Mystic Flame in his mystic meridians wouldnt just enter the qi vessel, it would also gradually disperse as time elapsed. When the Mystic Flame wasnt in the hosts body, it had a short span of life, and it was only a few minutes. Even if it entered the body, it could only flow in the mystic meridians. Even when in the mystic meridians, it would only survive for a short moment. Those with stronger mystic meridian talent would give the Mystic Flame a longer lifespan. Those with weaker mystic meridian talent would naturally give the Mystic Flame a shorter lifespan. According to a martial artist that had 8th-grade mystic meridian, the Mystic Flame would only survive in his mystic meridians for over one month. But once the Mystic Flame entered the qi vessel, it would exist forever and would share the hosts lifespan. Therefore, a martial artist with superior mystic meridian talents would be able to allow more Mystic Flame to enter the qi vessel and also at a faster rate. The lifespan in the mystic meridians would also be longer, allowing more time to refine the Mystic Flame before entering the qi vessel. A person with superior mystic meridians would only be able to refine a 1/1,000th of the Mystic Flame energy. Yang Dingtian had the Nine Yang Mystic Meridians! ... As Yang Dingtian was completely unconscious, countless flames were surging into his mystic meridians, automatically refined, and had entered the qi vessel. Multiple consecutive breakthroughs were happening again and again. Time elapsed day by day, and it was unknown how much time had elapsed. Finally, Yang Dingtian woke up! He was perplexed at first as he couldnt remember a lot of things. He could only remember that countless sinister flaming faces enveloped him while his ears were filled with horrific wailing and sobbing sound. Immediately after, the flame continued to split into countless flaming faces, which turned into streams of light that rushed into his body. It was very indistinct, and it felt like everything happened in a dream. As for the Mystic Flame refinement and the qi vessel breakthroughs, Yang Dingtian only had a faint impression. As a result, when he woke up, everything seemed to have happened yesterday or even a few minutes ago. Because everything happened so quickly, and it felt like he had fainted before waking up again. Of course, he instinctively knew that a lot of time had passed. Master, how long have I been unconscious? Yang Dingtian asked. S?a??h th? ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Dongfang Niemie didnt immediately reply. He was in silence for a moment before replying, Half a year... You have been unconscious for half a year. What? Yang Dingtian was surprised. It felt as though he had only fainted for a few minutes. How was it possible for half a year to have elapsed? This was too shocking. This was the true meaning of time flying. If half a year had elapsed, it meant that the city lord martial contest was happening soon. I have another shocking thing to inform you. Dongfang Niemie said. What is it? Yang Dingtian asked. During the past half a year, your body has refined the Mystic Flame on its own. Your cultivation has gone through an unbelievable breakthrough. You will not be able to guess how many levels you have broken through. Dongfang Niemie stated. Chapter 286: Dongfang Bingling’s Sinful Debt Chapter 286: Dongfang Binglings Sinful DebtHow many levels did I breakthrough? Yang Dingtian asked with a shaking voice. You broke through 16 levels. Dongfang Niemie said, Right now, you are already a 6-star Martial Ancestor. You are just four levels from becoming a Martial Supreme. What? Yang Dingtian let out an astonishing response. 16 levels? I was unconscious for half a year, and I actually broke through 16 levels? When have such great things started happening to me? I have another shocking thing to inform you. Dongfang Niemie said, Your qi vessel has an additional core flame, and it is a Mystic Flame, the true Million Spirit Demon Flame. You possess a Mystic Flame now and have stepped into the world of the strongest experts. From now on, you can cultivate for 24 hours a day, you can forge your soul sword, you can refine your sword soul, you can do nearly anything you wish to do, just because you possess the Mystic Flame. Subsequently, you will be able to break through to the Master class in another five years. In another ten or so years, you will reach your Masters prime cultivation. You will achieve it 20 years earlier than me. I have a Mystic Flame? Yang Dingtians body shivered violently. Even though he was already mentally prepared, but after getting confirmation, he was still filled with indescribable ecstasy. The Mystic Flame was the symbol of this worlds absolute experts. In this world, there were less than five or six individuals who possessed Mystic Flames. Those who possessed Mystic Flames were ultimately able to break through to the Grandmaster class. And now, Yang Dingtian also possessed the Mystic Flame. The heavens still favored Yang Dingtian. To obtain this Mystic Flame, Yang Dingtian invested a lot of effort. He had experienced extreme dangers and countless setbacks. The first flame was devoured by Yan Bieqin. The second flame was devoured by Dongfang Bingling. At that time, everything that Yang Dingtian had done only made things convenient for others. But he still didnt give up and wanted to make use of the red crystals energy for breakthrough. However, the red crystal quickly lost all the energy. Yang Dingtian was about to sink into despair and collapse. S~?a??h the Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Just before Yang Dingtian was in complete despair, the true Million Spirit Demon Flame bloomed. It entered Yang Dingtians body willingly and refined itself before turning into the core flame in Yang Dingtians qi vessel. The entire process was extremely treacherous, complicated, and dispiriting. At the final moment, Yang Dingtian fell asleep, the Mystic Flame was delivered to him, and he had obtained the Mystic Flame while his eyes were closed. When he reopened his eyes again, he had suddenly broken through by 16 levels. Was there something even more bizarre than this? Yang Dingtian honestly didnt know if he should cry or laugh. The heavens had a great love for Yang Dingtian, but the heavens enjoyed teasing him too. Yang Dingtian closed his eyes to sense his qi vessel. Sure enough, there was a flame floating gracefully and burning quietly. It didnt seem much from the appearance, but it was filled with spirituality, and it felt as though there was another form of life inside Yang Dingtians body that was integrated. The power and the efficacy of Mystic Flame was also astonishing. As long as time permitted, it would be completely indestructible. Yang Dingtian couldnt help himself as he immediately wanted to test it. Oh no... But soon enough, Yang Dingtian remembered a very important matter. Half a year had passed by, Dongfang Bingling instructed him to wake her up after one month. Dongfang Bingling was in the deepest hibernation, and one month was already the limit, but half a year had already passed. Yang Dingtian immediately opened his eyes and turned around. His first glance was the naked Dongfang Bingling, who was like a sitting sculpture. The current Dongfang Bingling looked like she was still in an icebound state. There wasnt any heartbeat, breathing, or pulse. Without saying anything else, Yang Dingtian went over to put Dongfang Bingling on the ground and used his finger to search for the Jinmen acupuncture point. Dongfang Bingling mentioned that she would wake up once her Jinmen acupuncture point was pierced. Yang Dingtian retrieved a golden needle from his spatial ring and thrust accurately at the vital point. Dongfang Binglings delicate body jerked, and Yang Dingtian instantly felt extremely overwhelming energy. It was coming from Dongfang Binglings body. Her mystic meridians and her qi vessel surged with powerful energy, and it was much stronger than the previous Dongfang Bingling. During this half a year, Dongfang Bingling had also been refining the Mystic Flame, and it seemed like her cultivation had a stunning breakthrough as well. Yang Dingtian let out a long breath. If she possessed such powerful mystic qi energy, it meant she wasnt dead yet. If Dongfang Bingling had perished because he didnt wake her up in time, he would never be able to rest with a clear conscience. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian felt Dongfang Bingling gradually regaining vitality. After piercing Dongfang Binglings acupuncture point, Yang Dingtian helped Dongfang Bingling to sit up and waited for her to wake up. But, Dongfang Bingling didnt wake up! Yang Dingtian placed his ear on her chest. There was a heartbeat! Immediately after, Yang Dingtian placed a finger in front of her nose. There were breaths. Yang Dingtian then felt her pulse, and there was a regular pulse. All life signals were normal. Be it heartbeat, breathing, or pulse, it revealed that Dongfang Binglings body was unprecedentedly healthy. Half a year ago, due to Ba Bis explosion, she was already at her dying breath. Her mystic meridians were severed at dozens of places, and she might have perished. Right now, she had completely recovered. In fact, her beautiful face had a trace of blush, making her look even more charming. She was unprecedentedly healthy, and she was stronger than she was half a year ago. But why wasnt she waking up? What was happening? Yang Dingtian panicked. As such, he pushed Dongfang Bingling to the ground again and pierced her Jinmen acupuncture point with the golden needle. Dongfang Binglings delicate body trembled again, but she still didnt wake up. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian started to use all sorts of methods, pressing her philtrum, using defibrillation. Dongfang Bingling still didnt wake up. What exactly was happening? She was healthy, her mystic qi was powerful, but she just couldnt wake up. Inside the spatial ring, Yang Dingtian looked for a long dress and dressed Dongfang Bingling. He then explained the whole situation to his Master, Dongfang Niemie. Master, what is going on? Dongfang Binglings body is very healthy, and her mystic qi is stronger than before. But why is she still unconscious? Yang Dingtian asked. Dongfang Niemies breaths were filled with worry as he said, Xiao Tian, Dongfang Bingling has been hibernating for too long, and her divine senses have already stopped completely. In Earth terms, she is now in a vegetative state. (NOTE:- Xiao Tian is an intimate way for Dongfang Niemie to address Yang Dingtian.) Vegetative state?! Yang Dingtian was alarmed. Thats right, vegetative state. Dongfang Niemie said, To recuperate and to refine more Mystic Flame, she allowed herself to enter a deep hibernation. It is actually to use a spiritual technique to stop her divine senses and brain while maintaining circulation in the deepest parts of her consciousness. During this time, she wouldnt feel anything and wouldnt even dream. It is entirely different from being unconscious. Apart from her living body, it is as if her spirit is already dead. In such a condition, one will be able to cultivate with increased efficiency. But such a deep hibernation must only be maintained for one month. Once the one month is exceeded, the spirit and divine senses will be completely still and will never be able to wake up. As such, it is similar to the vegetative state on Earth. How can this be? Yang Dingtian was in a state of great guilt. He promised Dongfang Bingling to wake her up in one month, but it was already half a year. Even though Dongfang Bingling was his enemy, he was still in extreme pain. All the ecstasy of obtaining the Mystic Flame and breaking through by 16 levels had all vanished without a trace. Child, you are not to be blamed. The Million Spirit Demon Flame had seized your divine senses. When Dongfang Niemie saw that Yang Dingtian was in pain, he consoled Yang Dingtian. No, this is still my responsibility. Yang Dingtian asked with a trembling voice, Master, is there any method to let her regain her divine senses? To let her wake up again? No matter the method or the consequences. Dongfang Niemie sighed and said, I wish there were a method too. She is my daughter after all, but I truly dont have any method to wake a person whose divine senses have stopped. Her condition is even worse than the people in vegetative states on Earth. Are there really no other methods? Yang Dingtian asked. I really dont know any. Dongfang Niemie replied. What about the holy water? Will it be useful? Yang Dingtian suggested. The holy water might be able to cure any injuries, but Dongfang Bingling isnt injured now. It is just that her divine senses have stopped. Dongfang Niemie commented. Even though Yang Dingtians Master was making sense, Yang Dingtian still took out a cup of holy water from his spatial ring and poured it into Dongfang Binglings mouth. The holy water allowed Dongfang Binglings face to have more blush, but she still didnt wake up. Her eyes were still shut, and there were no signs of eye movement, meaning she wasnt even dreaming. Yang Dingtian didnt want to give up and took out some peak-grade elixirs for Dongfang Bingling to consume. But they were still ineffective. Ahhh! Yang Dingtian roared and smashed his fist on the red crystal. Subsequently, he laid on the ground and desperately came up with more ideas. But his current mind was in chaos, and he couldnt think of any good ideas. He could only lay down on the ground and look at the water above. Right at this moment, Yang Dingtian felt moisture on the back of his head, and it was rather warm. He was startled and thought that water was flowing down from above. But it was impossible as not a single drop of water had entered this space after half a year. But if it werent the water from the pool above, what made Yang Dingtians hair wet? Yang Dingtian touched his hair, and it was indeed wet. He turned around and found out where the water came from. Dongfang Binglings dress also had a wet patch. As her spirit and divine senses were no longer working, the holy water that she had drunk earlier had uncontrollably been released by her body. She was exactly the same as a person in a vegetative state. Chapter 287: Look After! Marriage? Chapter 287: Look After! Marriage?Yang Dingtian stared at the scene before him in disbelief. Dongfang Bingling, Nine Heavens Fairy. The most arrogant, strongest, and coldest person in this world. She was extremely reserved, charming, and elegant. Now, she was like an infant and was unable to control her body. Yang Dingtian had no choice but to remove her skirt and clean it using the pool above them before using his fire attribute mystic qi to dry it. In addition, he also needed to wash Dongfang Bingling before putting her skirt back on. Yang Dingtian told his master what happened after changing Dongfang Binglings skirt. Master, Dongfang Bingling had wet her skirt. S?a??h the N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Dongfang Niemie wasnt surprised by it as he sighed, Its normal. It will be more frequent in the future. Yang Dingtian was startled, Master, what should I do now? Send her back to Yin Yang Sect. Get her mother to take care of her. You still have your own important matters to deal with. Dongfang Niemie continued, However, dont feed her anything while youre on your way to the Yin Yang Sect. Just giving her an elixir every half a month will be sufficient. But you still need to let her drink water as usual. Therefore, wetting her skirt would happen quite frequently, and she might do it several times a day. Furthermore, help her shower frequently and massage her body. In short, while you are on your way to Yin Yang Sect, you will have to take care of her attentively. Yang Dingtian sank into silence. Only after a good while did he reply, Master, I want to wake her up. No. Absolutely not. Dongfang Niemie continued, Send her back to Yin Yang Sect, to where her mother is at. After that, go and deal with your matters. You still have important matters to handle. You need to kill the Abyss Overlord and gather the remaining 900 ten thousand years old blood black gold. You still need to forge a soul sword and breakthrough to the Martial Supreme class within a short period. Only by doing so would you have a chance to obtain victory in the martial competition for the city lord. Furthermore, you still needed to take Yanyan back. Yang Dingtian replied, But master, I really wish to wake her up. No, this is an order. Dongfang Niemie ordered, Now, exit this place, leave the East Parting Grassland. You can either send Dongfang Bingling to the Yin Yang Sect or Yang Peipei so that she could take care of Dongfang Bingling. In short, you have to go and deal with your matters. (TL NOTE: Yang Peipei is Dongfang Niemies wife and Dongfang Binglings mother.) Yang Dingtian remained silent. Only after a long time did he comment unhurriedly, Master, whats the point of me getting stronger if Dongfang Bingling doesnt wake up again. Read more chapter on vipnovel.com Stupid! Dongfang Niemie yelled, You only wish to become stronger so that you can defeat Dongfang Bingling? Wrong, you wish to become stronger because you want to save the Cloud Heaven City, Yin Yang Sect and the whole world. Subsequently, Dongfang Niemie continued, Child, I shall be frank with you. You are still weak. Therefore, I have yet to tell you an even bigger secret. Your mission is very important. You have to be able to differentiate what is important to you. Child, you must never make me disappointed in you. Leave this place at once and send Dongfang Bingling back. After which, go and deal with your matters first. Like before, Yang Dingtian didnt reply. Immediately, Dongfang Niemies voice became gentler, Child, Dongfang Bingling is my daughter. Im the person who loves her the most in this world when it comes to showing care and concern. However, you still have even more important matters to deal with. Not only are you the masters hope, but youre also the hope for Ximen Wuya, Ximen Yanyan, and a lot more. Go, leave this place now. Sigh... Yang Dingtian didnt reply and sighed deeply. Subsequently, he carried Dongfang Bingling and circulated his mystic qi. He bore his way through the unfreezing pool above him and exited from the red crystal stone space. After entering the water, Yang Dingtian circulated his mystic qi around his body. Therefore, the water was unable to get near Yang Dingtian, allowing both of their clothing to remain dry. Yang Dingtian continued to float up. Currently, the 1,000-meter deep unfreezing pool and central lake no longer had a dividing line and had completely become the portion of the whole lake. A minute later, Yang Dingtian rushed out from the water surface while carrying Dongfang Bingling. He had finally left this place. He stayed in this mirror-like central lake for no less than half a year. After rushing out from the water surface, Yang Dingtian flapped his Sky Spirit Mystic Wings and soared up. The whole central lake was as clear as a mirror, and the sky was like the water. The whole Burial Land appeared to be exactly like how it was half a year ago. Yang Dingtian glanced at the area reluctantly before heading south while carrying onto Dongfang Bingling. Yang Dingtian descended from the sky when he approached the Foxman Race territory that was at the edge of Burial Land. He ran while carrying Dongfang Bingling because it would be too eye-catching if he were to continue flying. His destination was the Foxman Races territory. Although his master had ordered him to be not concerned with Dongfang Bingling, Yang Dingtian was still extremely unwilling to do so. Regardless of how much hate he had for Dongfang Bingling, she was still his masters only daughter. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian was the reason why she became like this. And more importantly, Yang Dingtian wanted to defeat her fair-and-square four years later. Therefore, he wanted to think of ways to save Dongfang Bingling. Dongfang Binglings consciousness had been imprisoned. Therefore, it had caused her to remain unconscious. If he wished to wake her up, he would need to think of ways from a mental standpoint. The Half-Human Race was even more mysterious than humans. Their talent in different fields was somewhat higher than humans. Therefore, the Half-Human Race might perhaps give him a surprise in regards to awakening Dongfang Bingling. *** Yang Dingtian carried Dongfang Bingling and entered the Foxman Races territory. The current him was wearing a black mantle that enveloped his whole body. Such dressing couldnt be counted as bizarre because a lot of high priests would dress in such a manner. As for Dongfang Bingling, she was placed above the horseback. There were a total of three Foxman Race tribes in the East Parting Grassland and had a population that exceeded millions. On the surface, the three tribes might seem united. However, they were facing internal disputes unceasingly. Zhuri Beilas tribe was the biggest among the three tribes. The tribe had around 400 to 500 thousand members and had close to a thousand miles of territory. The reason why the Foxman Race had been separated into three tribes was that the three Foxman tribes appearances were very different from each other. Zhuri Beilas tribe resembled humankind. Only their tail and ears had the traits of a fox. As for the other two Foxman Race tribes, not only their tails, ears, eyes, even their faces contained the traits of a fox. Other than this, one of the tribe members legs contained the traits of a fox, making them no longer like a human. Therefore, among the three Foxman Race tribes, Zhuri Beilas tribe was closest to becoming human. Since Dugu Fengwu had come to steal their sacred object, it would inevitably cause serious harm to the relationship they had with the human. The capital of Zhuri Beilas Foxman Race tribe was Beautiful Beira. Although it was the capital, it was actually just somewhat bigger than a town. Previously when Yang Dingtian had come here, he was loaded into a confined chariot and passed this area hurriedly. He was incapable of seeing the area clearly. This time, Yang Dingtian had paid careful attention to this town after entering Beautiful Beira again. The whole Beautiful Beira was constructed within a huge ravine. Other than the city gate, it was practically impossible to see any traces of a city. Rather, it was just a comparatively large village. Densely packed houses were scattered in all directions. Some were built with stones, while others were with wood. Although they didnt look sumptuous, they were still exquisite. After entering this ravine city, he was able to see countless buildings immediately as they were all constructed while lying against the mountain, and the buildings stretched for dozens of miles. A lot of pathways were like the ribbon as they stretched towards the horizon, making them appear to be filled with uncommon scenery. However, Yang Dingtian was still able to sense a nervous aura after entering the Beautiful Beira. The majority of the buildings had their doorway closed off, and there was barely anyone walking around the street. The majority of the stores on the roadside were closed. Occasionally, there would be a group of cavalry patrolling on the road. It seemed like something had happened to Zhuri Beilas Foxman Race. However, it was definitely not caused by the invasion of outsiders because the patrols of the city gate werent very strict. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian didnt encounter any interrogation while making his way here. Yang Dingtian was about to rush over to the mountaintop when a Foxman cavalry chased over, Are you heading over to chieftains castle? Immediately, Yang Dingtians heart was filled with caution as he nodded his head and didnt reply. We have been expecting you, my lord. The commander of this cavalry replied, We will escort you over to meet the chieftain immediately. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but be slightly startled. What did this cavalryman mean? Apparently, they have been waiting for him for quite some time. The current Yang Dingtian was dressed up in disguise. No one could have possibly recognized him. However, Yang Dingtian nodded his head after a slight hesitation. He followed this cavalryman and headed towards Zhuri Beilas castle. *** Zhuri Beilas mansion was a castle that was approximately several hundred square meters big. It was constructed using large boulders and logs. The style of it could be said to be closest to the human among the whole Foxman Race tribe. And from that, it could be seen how intimate this person was to humans. The whole castle didnt appear to be sumptuous. However, it didnt lack elegance. Even the slab stones were faintly white in color. However, Yang Dingtian could feel a trace of stifling aura after he had entered the castle. All the martial artists, servants, and maids traveled around prudently. They didnt dare to reveal any sound, and none of them interacted with each other. However, the whole castle was decorated with the red festive banner blueprint, as if a ceremony were about to take place. What ceremony is the lord preparing for? Yang Dingtian inquired. Three days later, Princess Xiangxiang Beila will get married to Lord Leiming. That cavalry commander commented. Princess Xiangxiang Beila? Immediately, Yang Dingtian remembered that dainty, gentle yet enthusiastic girl. She ought to be the most beautiful lady in the Foxman Race as her beauty could bring forth dazzle to the eyes. Chapter 288: The Dying Zhuri Beila! Chapter 288: The Dying Zhuri Beila!Oh. Congratulations then. Yang Dingtian smiled, Princess Xiangxiang Beila is beautiful and kind hearted. Her husband has to be extremely outstanding for them to be compatible. The cavalry commander commented, My Lord is right. The only person who is compatible with Princess Xiangxiang Beila in our race is Lord Leiming. Lord Leiming is the chief of our Foxman Races Sacred Martial Cavalry, the youngest elder within the elders community and also the No.1 expert among the youth in Foxman Race. Before the cavalry commander had finished speaking, he immediately issued a burst of surprise and a respectful voice. Lord, our Lord Leiming had come to welcome you personally. Subsequently, the whole group of cavalries dismounted from their horse and knelt, Greetings, Lord Leiming. Meanwhile, all the servants around them had also halted their work. They stood their ground and bowed to pay their respect. Furthermore, this group of people looked at Leiming with a gaze that was filled with passion and adoration. Apparently, this Leiming not only held tremendous power in the Foxman Race, but he was also extremely popular. Foxman Race Sacred Martial Cavalry Leiming Beila greets revered lord high priest. Leiming came forward by a few steps and unsheathed his sword as he pierced it into the ground and bowed to greet. Yang Dingtian was startled. Unexpectedly, he had addressed him as lord high priest. It seemed like they had mistaken Yang Dingtian for the wrong person. However, he had no idea who this lord high priest was exactly. Yang Dingtian lifted his head and saw Leiming immediately. Sure enough, this person was handsome, compelling, and as tall as a mountain. He was no less than 1.9 meters tall with a profound pair of eyes. He also had a tall nose bridge, and his handsome appearance seemed like it was sprinkled with sunshine at all times. Yang Dingtian was quite good looking as well. However, when compared to this Foxman Races youth expert, he was still profoundly jealous of him regardless it was his height or figure. At the start, Yang Dingtian wanted to deny the lord high priest identity. However, he gave up this thought after much consideration as he nodded his head calmly. A few days ago, I had dispatched people over to invite the lord high priest to treat my adoptive fathers injuries. Unexpectedly, the lord had arrived today. This truly makes me feel extremely grateful. Leiming continued. Yang Dingtian finally understood. Foxman Race had already dispatched people out to invite a high priest over to treat Zhuri Beila. Yet, Yang Dingtian had actually dressed as a high priest. Therefore, it had caused Leiming and the others to misunderstand. Originally, Yang Dingtian wanted to ask what kind of illness was Zhuri Beila suffering from. However, ultimately, he didnt inquire about it after giving a thought. He was afraid of exposing himself once he inquired about it. Read more chapter on vipnovel.com Half a year ago, Zhuri Beila had fought against Qin Huaiyu, Dugu Fengwu, and Gudu Wuhuan alone. He was formidable when facing three Martial Supreme class experts. However, Yan Bieqin interfered with the battle and stabbed Zhuri Beila, causing him to exhaust his remaining lifespan. If it werent because of Ba Bi arriving on time, he would have been dead. Afterward, Ba Bi had brought Yang Dingtian and submerged into the red crystal stone space. Since then, he hadnt seen Zhuri Beila. Furthermore, during that point in time, heaven and earth were experiencing huge changes. He truly had no idea how he returned to the tribe. These thoughts were thrown to a side as Yang Dingtian commented, Show the way. Yes! Leiming replied. Subsequently, he led the way alone. Leiming brought Yang Dingtian to the most centralized building as they walked up while following a flight of steps before reaching the highest floor. The highest floor was around thirty meters away from the ground. After arriving before a door, Leiming pushed it open and spoke, Lord high priest, please! This was a huge bedroom. Furthermore, it was extremely bright, as well. The surrounding of the room was filled with large windows, and the ceiling was embedded with transparent natural ceramic glaze. It allowed the sunlight from the outside to be able to shine through. There were three huge wardrobes within the room. Currently, the flame was combusting ragingly within the wardrobe. There was a large bed at the center of the bedroom. It was covered with soft fur while a person laid there. This person was Foxman Races chieftain, Zhuri Beila. With just a quick glance, Yang Dingtian was not convinced that this haggard and slim like a firewood person was Zhuri Beila. Previously when Yang Dingtain encountered Zhuri Beila, although he was already 40 to 50 years old, he was still extremely charming and handsome. His looks alone were definitely not inferior to Leiming before him, much less when it came to charm. The Zhuri Beila before him was like withered firewood. He looked haggard and waned. His original sleek and shiny hair had turned colorless white. If it werent because Yang Dingtian was able to sense his aura, he would have felt that the person lying on the bed was a corpse. I plead to the lord high priest to save my adoptive father. Leiming initiated respectfully. Yang Dingtian went forward a few steps and pressed onto Zhuri Beilas neck artery softly. Subsequently, he pressed onto the area where his heart was before feeling his pulse on the wrist. He had been severely injured while fighting against others. He had exhausted his mystic qi and was hanging onto his last breath. Furthermore, his body had been inflicted with serious damage and lost a huge amount of blood, causing his mystic meridians to be dried up and his qi vessel to crack. Yang Dingtian commented nonchalantly. Leimings body trembled the moment Yang Dingtian had finished speaking, Lord high priest is truly outstanding. You had barely touched him, yet you knew what he experienced like the back of your hand. Of course, Yang Dingtian was very clear about what happened. He had personally seen how Zhuri Beila got injured. Chieftain Zhuris cultivation is terrifying. Theres hardly anyone who was his match within the range of a thousand miles. Who is the enemy that caused him to suffer such serious injuries? Yang Dingtian commented. Leiming replied, When that happened, I wasnt at the tribe. The tribe members said that there was an extremely powerful beauty that had stolen the sacred object of our tribe. After the adoptive father learned of it, he chased after her with hopes of obtaining it back. Just when the adoptive father was about to defeat that woman and take back the sacred object, another human expert appeared. After the two of them joined hands, they were still not my adoptive fathers match. Therefore, the duo used all of their strength and fled towards the core of Burial Lands while the adoptive father chased after them alone. Originally, the experts within the tribe wanted to chase after as well, but they were all blocked off by the adoptive father. Everyone felt that the adoptive father alone was sufficient to fight against the duo. If it werent because the adoptive father was benevolent, those two people would have died under my adoptive fathers sword. Therefore, they allowed the adoptive father to chase after them into the depths of Burial Land alone. However, who knew that he wouldnt return after he went in. Half a day later, the tribe members went into the Burial Land and searched. Only after three days did we manage to see the adoptive father floating on the central lake water. During then, he was already at his last breath. Leiming sigh, However, just that duo alone was definitely not my adoptive fathers match. There should be others helping them there. Yang Dingtian nodded his head. However, he didnt reveal any concerned expression. Lord high priest, will you be able to save my adoptive father? Leiming inquired. Originally, Yang Dingtian wanted to ask Zhuri Beila if he had any way to awaken Dongfang Bingling. Unexpectedly, the other party had actually become like this. Yang Dingtian was confident that he would be able to save him using the holy water. However, it was extremely hard for Yang Dingtian to decide whether he should save him or not because rescuing the person before him was certainly a risk. Yang Dingtian would definitely be used as an object for profiteering if he were able to save a person that was on their last breath. When the time would come, it would be troublesome for him to leave this place. S~?a??h the ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Of course, Yang Dingtian might perhaps feel somewhat guilty if he didnt save him. Furthermore, the person before him was Xiangxiang Beilas father. Besides, he and Xiangxiang could still be counted as friends. After hesitating for a moment, Yang Dingtian nodded his head, It is possible to save him. Immediately, Leimings eyes trembled. Subsequently, he revealed a trace of excitement, What kind of ingredients would you need? The Lord high priest can just give us a list, and I will prepare it immediately. Yang Dingtian replied, There is no need for any ingredients. I have brought everything. No need for any ingredients? Leiming was slightly startled. After which, he continued, I shall invite the lord high priest to have a rest first before conducting the treatment on my adoptive father tomorrow morning. No need. I can start the treatment now. Yang Dingtian replied. Leiming was completely stupefied immediately. He revealed a disbelief expression. Subsequently, he withdrew his smile and walked over to the tightly shut door as he gave it a push again. After confirming that it was tightly shut, he spoke to Yang Dingtian in a low voice, Lord high priest Ge Lu, did you not receive the gift I sent to you? Yang Dingtian couldnt help but be slightly startled after seeing Leimings strange face and voice. Subsequently, he groaned vaguely. I believe you should have seen the code word on it then. Leiming continued. Code word? How about repeating it to me? Yang Dingtian replied. Immediately, Leimings complexion changed, Lord Ge Lu, whats the meaning of this? Yang Dingtians heart jumped. However, his voice turned cold, Im only getting you to repeat it once. Whats wrong? Leimings shot his gaze over like lightning before replying calmly, You can save my adoptive father because this way, it will clearly illustrate your outstanding ability and would also make Xiangxiang Beila marry me. However, you also have to let him remain unconscious forever. Yang Dingtians back immediately turned cold when he heard the sentence. This handsome and bright Foxman Race chief, Zhuri Beilas adoptive son, was actually a poisonous snake. Furthermore, it was a poisonous snake that was filled with the ambition of wild wolves. Thus, not only was Zhuri Beila in danger, but even Xiangxiang Beila was also in danger. No wonder ever since he entered, he had yet to encounter Xiangxiang Beila. Normally, she should be by her fathers side since she was his daughter. Immediately, a lot of thoughts flashed across Yang Dingtians mind. After which, both his eyes instantly turned sinister. Yang Dingtian was dressed as a middle-aged high priest so that he could travel around the East Parting Grassland with ease. Now, he had exposed an evil act. Furthermore, it was one that practically had no loophole, to begin with. Right. You did send me a lot of gifts. However, there wasnt anything that I particularly wanted. Yang Dingtian commented nonchalantly. What do you want? Leiming inquired. Woman, beautiful woman. Yang Dingtian replied, Dont tell me you didnt see that Im carrying an unconscious woman with me? I will bring her wherever I go. Furthermore, Im able to awaken her to serve me at any point in time. After Leiming heard Yang Dingtians condition, he loosened his expression, Women, is it? Relax, you can have as many as you want. No. I only want one. Yang Dingtian replied, Furthermore, its the most beautiful one in the Foxman Race; your fiance, Princess Xiangxiang Beila. Of course, I just wanted to experience doing it once with her. The moment Leiming heard it, his complexion changed. Both his eyes were instantly filled with killing intent Chapter 289: The Deal With Xiangxiang Beila! Chapter 289: The Deal With Xiangxiang Beila!Lord Ge Lu, you really think too highly of yourself. Furthermore, you do know that spouting nonsense can cause a persons death. Leiming replied coldly, Xiangxiang Beila is my exclusive property. I wish I could dig out the eyes of those who took an extra glance at her. Yet, you actually want to get a share of her? Dont force me to kill you! After he spoke, Leiming placed his palm onto his huge sword while the atmosphere was instantly filled with murderous intent. Yang Dingtian laughed coldly, Leiming, can you kill me? Dont you want to save Zhuri Beila? Will you be able to find a second person who could achieve this in this ten thousand miles of East Parting Grassland? Even if you manage to find it, you wouldnt be able to invite him. Even if you can invite him, you wouldnt be able to pay his price. Therefore, you need to save her father if you wish to get Xiangxiang Beila to marry you. And within this ten thousand miles, you can only find me to save this dying Zhuri Beila. That might not be so. Leiming replied coldly, You arent the only one who can save my adoptive father. At the very least, theres still lord grand priest Niao Shan from the Dwarf Race. Hes the best miracle doctor. Although his price is a lot higher and I would need to cut away 200 miles of Foxman Race mountain range for him, Im still more willing to pay this enormous price for the sake of my woman. Yang Dingtian was startled. Yang Dingtian had heard of the Dwarf Race before. From their external appearance, they werent much different from humans, just their height was a lot shorter. Practically none of them had exceeded three inches. Furthermore, they only had four toes. Of course, Yang Dingtian only knew this much and had no idea of this grand priest miracle doctor Niao Shan. However, since Leiming said that he was the best miracle doctor, he probably was extremely formidable. Furthermore, this person had already given the Foxman Race his price. It was clear that he was able to save Zhuri Beila. Yang Dingtian laughed immediately after sorting out his thoughts, He can save him? Perhaps! Even if he knew, would he be able to let Zhuri Beila possess a healthy body yet remain unconscious forever? Leiming complexion changed once he heard it. He remained silent and didnt speak. Mister Leiming, you must find things very difficult for you right now. To become Princess Xiangxiang Beilas husband, you have to save her father. However, for you to inherit the Foxman Races chieftain position, you need to have Zhuri Beila remain unconscious forever. Yang Dingtian smiled coldly, To achieve this, one will have to remove his soul spirit and consciousness while saving him. Do you think that there is anyone who can achieve this other than me in this East Parting Grassland? Leiming remained silent. After a good while, he replied coldly, Xiangxiang Beila is my exclusive property. No one can touch her. Dream on if you think that I will agree to this condition. Ill rather kill you than to agree to it. Its up to you. Yang Dingtian replied casually, You can decide if you wish to save Foxman Races chieftain or Princess Xiangxiang Beilas innocence. After Yang Dingtian spoke, he turned around and was about to leave, Be at ease, I will not reveal this out. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian pushed the door and was about to walk out without any hesitation. Wait... All of a sudden, Leiming cried out. Yang Dingtian smiled coldly, Whats wrong? Have you figured it out so quickly? Read more chapter on vipnovel.com Leiming continued, I can agree with your request. However, you will have to save my adoptive father first. Furthermore, you will need to destroy his consciousness and cause him to remain unconscious forever. After which, I will fulfill your request and let Xiangxiang Beila accompany you for a night. Impossible. Yang Dingtian smiled coldly, I have to sleep with her before saving him. Leimings complexion turned cold, Lord Ge Lu, dont force me. Yang Dingtian commented coldly, As I said before, you wouldnt be able to kill me. Leiming continued, Both of us work for the Holy Cult. Its also the holy envoys order for you to help me become the Foxman Races chieftain. Arent you afraid of the holy envoy blaming you for your actions? Yang Dingtians complexion changed when he heard it. His heart had also leaped. The information contained within this sentence was way too much. These two people were actually working for the Holy Cult. Helping Leiming become the chieftain was also the order of this so-called holy envoy. If so, what kind of organization was this Holy Cult? Who was this so-called holy envoy as well? But Yang Dingtian suppressed his shock and doubts very quickly. He laughed coldly, Holy envoy didnt say that you mustnt let me sleep your woman, right? You can report our matters to the holy envoy. When the time comes, I can fully accept what punishment awaits me. Leimings complexion immediately turned even more unsightly after he heard Yang Dingtians words. Subsequently, he clenched his teeth and spoke, Fine. I agree to your request. Immediately, Yang Dingtian laughed in his heart while he muttered to himself, Sure enough, this person is shameless. To achieve his objective, hes willing to sacrifice the woman he loves. Hurry up then. After I have slept with your woman, I will deal with this matter immediately. Yang Dingtian replied. Leimings complexion turned extremely unsightly. His gaze seemed as if he wanted to make mincemeat out of Yang Dingtian. Subsequently, he walked to a corner and smacked onto a button lightly. A moment later, the wall was split apart, and a small door appeared as a shadow walked out. Head over to the Offering Temple and bring Princess Xiangxiang Beila over. Leiming ordered. Yes. That shadow disappeared from the room quickly after receiving the order. Subsequently, the door that was on the wall disappeared very quickly as well. Lord Ge Lu, I hope you will not regret what you did today. Leiming commented coldly. I wouldnt regret it even if you are to behead me after I had slept with her. Yang Dingtian smiled coldly. Of course, Yang Dingtian would definitely not try anything with Xiangxiang Beila. Rather, he wanted to save her and meet her so that he would be able to devise some plans. *** For the remaining time, both of them didnt speak with each other as they couldnt come to a mutual agreement. They merely stood at their spot quietly. Leiming was like a wild beast that was about to devour a human. From time to time, he would place his hand on his sword. He had definitely beheaded Yang Dingtian thousands of times in his heart. Around an hour later, the doorway opened, and the beautiful yet charming Xiangxiang Beila entered leisurely. Yang Dingtian intentionally revealed a wicked gaze as he stared at her face, breast, waist, and her legs without any concealment. Xiangxiang Beila had somewhat slimmed down after not meeting her for half a year. Her complexion had also looked a lot more haggard. However, it caused her to look even more lovely and charming. Xiangxiang Beila... Both of Leimings eyes brightened up after he saw the beauty. Subsequently, he shot out an extremely pained expression, I had located the high priest that can save adoptive father. s?a??h th? ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Really? Xiangxiang Beilas delicate body trembled. She was filled with disbelief and surprise. Really. Leiming replied, Im willing to do anything for you. Xiangxiang Beila looked at Leiming with a complicated expression before nodding her head, Brother, be at ease. So long as he can save my fathers life, I will marry you. Although I am madly in love with you, Im not doing this for the sake of that. Leiming replied, Chieftain is also my adoptive father. Im willing to sacrifice everything just to save him as well. However... After which, Leimings complexion turned extremely worried as he gave himself a ruthless slap. Pah... This slap of his was extremely heavy as blood flowed out directly, and half of his face had turned red from it. Xiangxiang Beila was astonished immediately. She pulled his hand to stop his self-harm, Big brother, what are you doing? Its all my fault. Leiming wept, This high priest can save the adoptive father. However, he has put forward an extremely shameless request. Immediately, Xiangxiang Beila remembered the wicked gaze Yang Dingtian gave her. Her delicate body couldnt help but tremble, What request. Serve me once. Hehe... Yang Dingtian purposely spoke wickedly as he issued a series of evil laughter. Xiangxiang Beila was astonished. Her beautiful face instantly lost all of its redness, and the hair on her body immediately stood up. The high priest before her looked terrifying and wicked. Xiangxiang Beila would rather die than to give him her purity. You can choose to either keep your own purity or save your fathers life. Yang Dingtian smiled coldly, Use your purity to exchange for your fathers life. It seems like you are already extremely unfilial since you arent willing to accept such a worthwhile transaction. Xiangxiang Beilas delicate body suddenly trembled again after she heard the comment. Xiangxiang Beila would rather die than to hand over her purity to this kind of person. However, she needed to save her fathers life. She was willing to use her life to exchange if it could save her fathers life. Fine. Ill do it. Xiangxiang Beila clenched her teeth, Come and take it. Anytime and anywhere is possible. Yang Dingtian stared at Xiangxiang Beilas beautiful and charming face. The pretense that he had swallowed a mouthful of saliva and spoke, Of course we will need to pick a comfortable place to do such matter. Lets go over to your room. Follow me. Xiangxiang Beila replied coldly. Chapter 290: Clarifying The Identity! A Pretense To Reality? Chapter 290: Clarifying The Identity! A Pretense To Reality?Follow me. Xiangxiang Beila replied coldly. Subsequently, she turned around and walked off. Yang Dingtian followed suit immediately while he stared at her seductive back in pretense. Leiming was about to crack his teeth from gnawing. His gaze was extremely cold while he followed them as well. *** Very quickly, Yang Dingtian entered Xiangxiang Beilas room while following her. Yang Dingtian closed the door immediately after he had entered the room. He blocked off Leiming from the outside and spoke, Im not used to letting another man spectate me when Im enjoying myself. Of course, you can eavesdrop us. However, dont make any noise. He welcomed with Leimings soaring, murderous intent. However, Yang Dingtian shut the door immediately and had blocked off all the murderous intent from the outside. Indeed, Xiangxiang Beilas room was extremely warm, and everything was pink. What made it different from the other rooms in the East Parting Grassland was that there were very few traces of animal fur here. Instead, it was filled with brocades from humans. Therefore, Xiangxiang Beilas room was not in any way different from a human female room. Of course, perhaps there was an additional enchanting fragrance. However, this fragrance wasnt from any perfume. Instead, it was Xiangxiang Beilas body fragrant. Otherwise, she wouldnt have been addressed as Princess Xiangxiang Beila. After entering the room, Yang Dingtian clicked his tongue and placed the unconscious Dongfang Bingling aside. Subsequently, he used his nose and sniffed everything within the room. Ultimately, he moved towards Xiangxiang Beilas delicate body and stuck his nose onto her face as he sniffed her from the head down to the bottom, from her face to her lower leg. The whole process was extremely vulgar. Xiangxiang Beila shut her eyes, and her delicate body trembled while her tears flowed out like a river. It was as if a poisonous snake had bitten her whole body as goosebumps started to appear on her skin as well. Whats wrong? Not willing? Yang Dingtian replied coldly. Read more chapter on vipnovel.com Xiangxiang Beila forcefully stopped her body from trembling when she heard Yang Dingtians words. Subsequently, she clenched her teeth and placed her hands onto her jacket and was about to undress. Relax, relax. Its still better to let me help you with undressing. Yang Dingtian smiled sinisterly. After which, he carried Xiangxiang Beila up and walked towards the bed. Bang... A loud sound reverberated from the outside. It was the sound of Leiming smashing his fist onto the wall. Regardless he was outraged, or it was just a show for Xiangxiang Beila to see, this fist had definitely caused his fist to start dripping blood. You can eavesdrop. However, dont make any noise. Yang Dingtian replied coldly. Immediately, a wild beast injured-like howl could be heard from the outside. Subsequently, it left with a series of rapid footsteps. This person was truly strange. If he were truly that hurt, why would he leave in such a cowardly manner? He was truly hypocritical and incompetent. Haha... Yang Dingtian laughed complacently. Subsequently, he tossed Xiangxiang Beila to the bed. *** After pouncing onto the bed, Yang Dingtian covered Xiangxiang Beila with the blanket. Currently, Xiangxiang Beilas whole body had turned ice-cold. As before, she was still trembling from time to time, and her face didnt contain any rosiness. It was as if she were really about to fall into the underworld. Yang Dingtian laughed sinisterly once again. After which, he used a perverted voice and acted as if he were a hungry wolf that was about to pounce onto the lamb. Immediately, Xiangxiang Beilas expression grew even darker. Blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth immediately because she gnawed onto her teeth too tightly. Dont make any noise, continue with the acting. Its me... Yang Dingtian changed back into his original voice and whispered to Xiangxiang Beila. Xiangxiang Beilas delicate body trembled slightly. Suddenly, she widened her beautiful eyes and revealed a disbelief gaze. She opened her mouth and was about to produce a noise before using her hand to cover it immediately. However, she was unable to conceal the surprise and excitement within her eyes. Immediately after, her pale face immediately started to blush, the kind of blush that was due to shyness as it covered her whole body. As before, Yang Dingtian continued to produce licking and kissing noises while he used his finger to write behind her back. S?a??h the n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. We will continue to act and produce noises. Lets communicate through writing. Xiangxiang Beila immediately nodded her head. Dont believe Leiming. Hes a traitor. While he looked for people to save your father, he also got them to crumble your fathers consciousness eternally so that he would remain unconscious forever. His objective was to marry you and become the new Foxman Races chieftain. Yang Dingtian clicked his tongue and wrote on her soft and sleek back. Xiangxiang Beila was slightly startled. Subsequently, she nodded her head, and her gaze was filled with hatred. This time, it was Yang Dingtians turn to be slightly startled. Leiming was her adoptive brother. Therefore, both of their relationships ought to be rather close. Yang Dingtian felt that it would be difficult for him to get Xiangxiang Beila to believe that Leiming was a traitor. However, who knew that Xiangxiang Beila would nod her head and believe him after being slightly startled for a moment. When Xiangxiang Beila saw Yang Dingtians puzzled gaze, she wrote onto Yang Dingtians back, I have always disliked him. Hes too fake. Her fingers were extremely slim and soft. Furthermore, she didnt write on Yang Dingtians back. Rather, she wrote it above his side waist. Therefore, it was extremely itchy. Yang Dingtian endured it forcefully while he communicated with her through writing. While doing so, he still needed to produce pervert noises to let Leiming hear it outside. But unexpectedly, Xiangxiang Beila got even more enthusiastic than him. She hugged onto Yang Dingtians neck and was about to kiss him directly. She was trying to play with fire. It is extremely dangerous. Immediately, the flame within Yang Dingtian rushed out before he gave Xiangxiang Beila a stern warning look. Xiangxiang Beila was flushed with shyness as she wrote onto Yang Dingtians back, Hes very crafty. We must make the act look more real. This will cause an accident. Yang Dingtian wrote on her back. If an accident were to happen, we can just turn the pretense to reality. Xiangxiang Beila wrote, Later on after we head out, I will think of ideas to let you leave this place. Shen Lang, Im extremely happy that you would come back and look for me. Furthermore, I no longer have any more regrets after this intimacy. Suddenly, Yang Dingtian gnawed onto his teeth and tossed away this alluring thought. He wrote on her back, I can save your father. Immediately, Princess Xiangxiang Beila halted all of her movements and widened her beautiful eyes as she inquired with her mouth, Really? Really! Yang Dingtian wrote on her back, Therefore, our plan is to immediately kill Leiming after saving your father and eliminate the rebels within the Foxman Race. Hes very strong. You arent his match. Xiangxiang Beila wrote hurriedly. Not necessarily. I have become a lot stronger in half a year. Yang Dingtian wrote on her back. I trust you... Xiangxiang Beila wrote. Yang Dingtian wrote, Followingly, we shall start to plan our strategy. Xiangxiang Beila looked at Yang Dingtian passionately. She shook her head and wrote, Not right now. Lets finish our play first. After she spoke, she opened her mouth and approached Yang Dingtian. She wanted to kiss him once again. Yang Dingtians body trembled and struggled free from her arms. He grabbed onto her hand and shook his head seriously. Xiangxiang Beila widened her beautiful eyes and stared at Yang Dingtian. She revealed a puzzled look as if she were asking if he were impotent. Yang Dingtian shook his head solemnly once again. Xiangxiang Beilas beautiful eyes turned slightly dull. Subsequently, she could only put more focus on her acting as she issued an even stronger wailing. Since Xiangxiang Beila was doing her best, Yang Dingtian had to act even more lifelike as he issued an even more wicked voice. Immediately, the battle within the room was like wildfire from how the outside heard it. This act was as real as it could get, and Xiangxiang Beila had been as if completely ravaged. *** It was almost close to an hour! Yang Dingtian felt that he really had a miserable time within this period. Such play was really suffering. He had clearly not touched anything, yet he had to produce those kinds of weird noises. Meanwhile, Xiangxiang Beila was practically about to wail her throat out. At the very least, Yang Dingtians body had completely been drenched in sweat. Meanwhile, Xiangxiang Beila was as if she just had a shower. Ultimately, she no longer had any strength in her. Another 15 minutes went by, and Yang Dingtian patted on her shoulder. He reminded her that she should get up and execute their plan. Xiangxiang Beila got up unwillingly and cut open a wound on her thigh as she touched the blood and wiped it on the bed sheet. Subsequently, she stood up from her bed and started to wear her clothing after wiping her body. After dressing up, she walked over and helped Yang Dingtian clean before helping him change his clothing. Both of them somewhat tidied themselves. However, they didnt conceal the traces of intimation they had just gone through. Followingly, she took out a lump of stuff and wiped on their eyes. Immediately, tears flowed out from her beautiful eyes as her eyes grew red and swollen. Subsequently, she scratched out several scars on her face and body in the pretense that she had been bruised from torment. After she had done all that, she changed into a painful and dull expression as she opened the door like a wooden doll. Meanwhile, Yang Dingtian looked at all these in complete astonishment. This Foxman Race woman was truly a natural actress. Just a casual expression from her was like a drama queen grade. *** The moment she opened the door, the first thing she saw was Leimings hideous expression. His eyes were blood red, and there was also his bloody fist. Leiming lifted his head. Immediately, he saw the riddled with bruises Xiangxiang Beila and also her deadly dull expression. Leimings eyes immediately shot out an extremely angry radiance as he took out his sword and charged at Yang Dingtian. He howled, Im going to dismember you into a thousand pieces! Yang Dingtian stood at the same spot and spoke casually, Are we still rescuing the person? Immediately, Leimings body trembled as he stood on his spot blankly. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian smiled coldly, I have already given you face since I didnt destroy her. Yang Dingtian walked past him arrogantly as a breeze of unique smell blew over. The smell after having an intimate session was simply too distinctive. Anyone would be able to know what happened after smelling it. Immediately, Leiming was in distort and anger. He was close to turning crazy. His whole body was as if about to turn into ashes due to his rage. *** They returned to Zhuri Beilas bedroom. This Foxman Race chieftain was still lying on his bed and gasping his last breath. It was uncertain if he were still alive. Im going to start his treatment. All of you go out. Yang Dingtian replied nonchalantly. Leiming yelled, Impossible. We are going to look at your treatment. He was afraid. Although he was somewhat reassured, he was still afraid that Yang Dingtian would save and awaken Zhuri Beila. This way, he would be consigned into eternal damnation. Yang Dingtian waved his hand and smiled coldly, Then you shall save him yourself. Leimings complexion changed. Subsequently, he looked at Xiangxiang Beila, hoping that Princess Xiangxiang Beila could reject Yang Dingtian on her own initiative. Xiangxiang Beila didnt reply but only walked out blankly. She walked to the doorway and spoke a sentence coldly, You had already received your remuneration. If you couldnt save him, Im going to dismember you into a thousand pieces. Chapter 291: The Godlike Yang Dingtian (Part 1) Chapter 291: The Godlike Yang Dingtian (Part 1)Subsequently, she walked out while Leiming followed suit as well. The door was shut off unhurriedly. Only Yang Dingtian and the unconscious Zhuri Beila remained within the bedroom. Yang Dingtian drew all the curtains before taking out a bottle of holy water from his spatial ring as he seeped it into an ordinary healing elixir because Yang Dingtian discovered that mixing the holy water into an elixir would bring forth better results. At the very least, the medical efficacy would permeate around the whole body quicker. Yang Dingtian was about to let Zhuri Beila consume it after getting the elixir ready. Currently, a strange voice rang out from the outside suddenly. Leiming, Im here... This was the voice of an old man. It wasnt loud but still resonated within the ears. Furthermore, it was a voice that would cause those who hear it to trust the owner of the voice voluntarily. In addition, it would bring forth adoration and admiration feelings. After hearing it, there was also a kind of drowsy feeling. This was an extremely superior spiritual technique. Immediately, Yang Dingtians heart shivered. Subsequently, he walked to the window and drew open the curtain. Instantly, he saw an old man that was wearing a black high priest mantle and was riding on a crane as it floated in the air. The high priest mantle he had on him was exactly the same as Yang Dingtian. Even the fire mark on it was the same as well. No wonder Leiming and the others didnt recognize him right from the start. The old man that was on the crane lifted his mantle when he was about a dozen meters away from the castle, revealing his true face. Yang Dingtian exclaimed in admiration in his heart after seeing it. It was indeed a handsome appearance. After coming to this world, Yang Dingtian rarely met attractive people. Although this old man was already extremely old as his hair and beard had turned completely white, his face was like jade, making it incredibly charming. His pair of eyes looked extremely profound too. It was indeed a person of white hair with a youthful appearance. Just a glance of it would cause the heart to sigh in admiration and garner a feeling that this was a noble and elegant person. If it werent because Yang Dingtian knew this persons character, a favorable impression would be formed for this person. Furthermore, this person was obviously human. There werent any Half-Human Race traces on this person. May I know who you are? Leiming held onto his sword and was filled with precaution. Read more chapter on vipnovel.com Im Ge Lu. You invited me over to treat your adoptive father. Why are you asking me who am I now? How thoughtless of you! The old man smiled slightly. Regardless it was his temperament or speech, it would bring forth a spring breeze feeling. Leimings complexion changed immediately after hearing this voice. Immediately after, he drew out his sword and rushed it as he kicked open the door. He howled at Yang Dingtian with a stern voice, You, who exactly are you? Yang Dingtian was startled in his heart, and it wasnt a good time for him to cry out. Unexpectedly, the high priest Ge Lu who Leiming invited had arrived. Of course, during this moment, Yang Dingtian was still able to use his quickest speed and let Zhuri Beila consume the elixir. However, after hesitating for a moment, Yang Dingtian immediately abandoned the plan and changed his strategy. He spoke to Leiming, Me? Im Na Lu! Na Lu? Leiming commented sternly, You arent Ge Lu? Then why did you impersonate Ge Lu? You definitely harbored evil intentions when you came over to my Foxman Race. I shall immediately dismember you into a thousand pieces! Suddenly, robust mystic qi exploded from Leimings body as he charged forward. It would be troublesome if this person before him werent Ge Lu because Leiming had already told him his plans. So long as Yang Dingtian spoke of it, Leiming would be finished. Therefore, he had to kill Yang Dingtian off immediately. Leimings sword radiance instantly appeared before Yang Dingtian. Immediately, Yang Dingtian was able to sense that this persons cultivation had yet to reach the Martial Supreme class but was already quite close to it. Although Leiming was about three levels above him, Yang Dingtian was absolutely confident that this person wouldnt be able to injure him. And if they had to fight it all out, this person would definitely die under his sword. Yang Dingtian didnt draw out his sword. Rather, he dodged it with lightning speed. He used the flight technique and flew out dozens of meters as he evaded Leimings sword radiance. Boom... Leimings sword radiance instantly slashed onto the thick wall as it caused a huge crack to be formed onto the wall. Immediately, Leimings complexion turned extremely unsightly when he saw Yang Dingtian was actually able to fly. Subsequently, he poured his mystic qi and was about to use mystic skills to chase after Yang Dingtian. Wait... Suddenly, Xiangxiang Beila rushed out and said, High priest Na Lu was invited by me to treat fathers illness. What? Leiming was startled while Yang Dingtian gazed over. I had merely accepted the generous gifts sent over by two people. They told me to treat Foxman chieftains injury. But I have no idea who invited me over. Yang Dingtian commented, Therefore, I thought it was Leiming who had invited me over when he welcomed me. Unexpectedly, it was you. No wonder you kept on addressing me as Ge Lu. I thought it was merely just a different way to pronounce my name. Leiming stared at Yang Dingtian bewilderedly after hearing his explanation. It appeared that it would be very hard for him to kill Yang Dingtian. He could only pray that this high priest Na Lu was indeed an extremely insatiable and lecherous person so that he wouldnt mention to anyone about his malicious intention. After this crisis is over, he would get the holy envoy to send experts and kill him. Since its like that... and Lord Ge Lu has arrived, theres no longer a need for you. You can leave. Leiming waved his hand. Leave? Yang Dingtian replied, I, Na Lu, am someone who pays particular attention to reputation. Since I had accepted your gifts and had slept with the beauty, how can I leave without treating the person? I can return you the gifts, but how am I supposed to return you the broken maidens purity? Xiangxiang Beila couldnt help but turn red when she heard it. Although she knew that she shouldnt, she still gave him a ferocious glance with her eyes. However, she had already learned of Leimings concealing malice. If so, it was apparent that this Ge Lu wasnt someone good as well. She must not let them treat her fathers injuries. Immediately, Princess Xiangxiang Beila spoke out, Hes not allowed to leave. If he wishes to leave, it will be after he has treated my fathers injuries. Big Brother, this mister Ge Lu is invited by you while I invited this Na Lu and the person injured is my father. Therefore, I should be the one deciding who should do the treatment. Leimings complexion changed, Little sister, Lord Ge Lus rebirth technique was extremely famous. Meanwhile, Na Lu was clearly a greedy and lecherous swindler. How can you let him treat adoptive fathers injuries? Xiangxiang Beila replied, I know that Na Lu is a scoundrel. However, Im absolutely confident in his medical skills. During that time, I was saved by several high cultivation human experts in the desert. Among them, two of them were actually saved by Na Lu from the death door. Furthermore, we had already paid such a tremendous price. Its absolutely impossible to let him leave just like that. Of course, Leiming would never agree to it. Immediately, the duo quarrel came to a deadlock. Xiangxiang Beila took out a bone whistle immediately and blew it with her mouth. Immediately, a distant voice rang out as it traveled far away. Little sister, whatre you doing? Leiming replied. Xiangxiang Beila commented, Since we couldnt come to a decision, we shall invite the seniors within the tribe to make the decision. Immediately, Leimings complexion grew even more unsightly. *** Approximately half an hour later, a dozen of elders from the Foxman Race rushed over in succession as they gathered within the bedroom that was on the highest floor. s?a??h th? ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. After listening to the details of Princess Xiangxiang Beila and Leimings argument, the elders had also sunk within the contradiction. They were all split into two groups. One of the groups supported Xiangxiang Beila. They felt that the person injured was her father, and she should have the authority to decide who should treat her father. The other group felt that high priest Ge Lu was extremely reputable and had never heard of Na Lu before. Therefore, it was very likely for him to be a swindler. Furthermore, Zhuri Beila was the Foxman Races chieftain, and he shouldered heavy responsibility within the whole tribe. Therefore, he was no longer Princess Xiangxiang Beilas father alone. Among the two groups of different opinions, the majority of them supported Leiming. Therefore, everyone clearly preferred letting Ge Lu treat Zhuri Beilas injuries. Currently, Yang Dingtian already had a complete understanding of Ge Lus reputation. Saying that he was famous across thousands of miles was an understatement. In a lot of peoples hearts, he was practically a living deity that could bring the dead back. An omnipotent existence. Furthermore, he never requested remuneration when saving others, as if he were a living buddha. Immediately, Yang Dingtian grew even more vigilant towards Ge Lu. It appeared that this person could really help the dying and heal the injured. Furthermore, this person came from the Holy Cult. To be able to use so much capital in the East Parting Grassland showed that his ambition was not small. Princess Xiangxiang Beila grew anxious immediately when she saw the conclusion was about to be determined. She gnawed, The person injured is my father. I have decided to let Na Lu treat my fathers injuries. If he couldnt save my father, I will kill myself in front of everyone. Furthermore, I will give up my authority to fight for the chieftains position on my own initiative. Immediately, everyone present was shocked when they heard this. Chapter 292: The Godlike Yang Dingtian (Part 2) Chapter 292: The Godlike Yang Dingtian (Part 2)First, lets not mention Xiangxiang Beila killing herself before everyone if Yang Dingtian couldnt treat Zhuri Beila. However, to let go of the right to inherit the chieftain position was absolutely a tremendous shock to everyone. Zhuri Beilas lineage had always inherited this Foxman Race branch for thousands of years. And the rights of inheritance had never once been disputed over. If the chieftain didnt have a son, it would be inherited by his daughter. Furthermore, they would find a son-in-law to live with them. The child born from the family would still follow the family name Beila and would inherit the position of chieftain. If the chieftain didnt have a son or daughter, he would adopt a son from a similar race and let him inherit the chieftain position. Therefore, when Princess Xiangxiang Beila said that she would give up her rights of succession, it was absolutely shocking. It was absolutely a great enticement to all the elders present at the scene. Once they could become the Foxman Races chieftain, their family would instantly grow stronger because every family in the Half-Human Race could possess a different amount of territories and armies. To let the chieftain possess a huge amount of power, they would possess close to half of the territories and armies. To save her father, Xiangxiang Beila was willing to cut off her means of retreat and suggested this trump card-like condition. Currently, Leimings complexion had turned completely unsightly. He was naturally able to tell something was amiss. It was evident that Princess Xiangxiang Beila was filled with suspicion and caution against Leiming and Ge Lu since she was so insistent on letting Yang Dingtian treat Zhuri Beila. Furthermore, the relationship between Yang Dingtian and Xiangxiang Beila was definitely not an ordinary one. The previous hostility was definitely an act. If so, Leiming was in danger. In other words, it would be the time of Leimings death if Na Lu were able to cure Zhuri Beila because it was very likely that the current Xiangxiang Beila had already learned of Leimings conspiracy. While they were fighting over who should hold the right to give the treatment, Yang Dingtian was able to expose Leimings conspiracy. Currently, all of the Foxman Races elders were around, and Leiming would never dare to kill him. It could be said that Yang Dingtian was slandering Leiming so that he could gain the right to give the treatment. When Xiangxiang Beila used her trump card; to give up her rights to inherit the chieftain position, it caused the elders to turn silent immediately. Thats right. After all, the old chieftain was Princess Xiangxiang Beilas father. She has the right to decide who should be giving him the treatment. Right. Furthermore, Princess Xiangxiang Beila was the only successor when the old chieftain got injured. Basically, she is equivalent to a chieftain and has the right to exercise a chieftains authority. ... Xiangxiang Beila finally heaved a sigh of relief when she heard everyones words. Of course, she wasnt confident that Yang Dingtian would be able to cure her father. Both of them barely interacted with each other, and she merely had a hazy favorable impression of him. This favorable impression was because Yang Dingtian had saved her life before. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian was a human, and her heart yearned for a human. Adding on, Yang Dingtian knew how to fly and had brought her up to the sky before. All of this was just a favorable impression and fondness. It didnt hold any form of love a male and female should have with each other. And when the two of them were forced to have an exceptionally intimate relationship together a moment ago, it brought forth a change to Xiangxiang Beilas heart. Furthermore, she could only place all her hope and faith onto Yang Dingtian after she learned of Leimings conspiracy. Even if Yang Dingtian werent able to save her father, it would still be better to give the chieftain position to one of the stronger families in the Foxman Race than the traitor Leiming. Leiming was her adoptive brother and was also someone her father thought highly of. When Zhuri Beila adopted Leiming as his adoptive son, he was also picking a husband for Xiangxiang Beila. Zhuri Beila was someone very sentimental. After his wife had died, he didnt have any intention to remarry even though he only had a daughter. Although Xiangxiang Beila didnt have any affection for Leiming, they were still the camaraderie of a brother and sister. After Xiangxiang Beila had incidentally discovered Leimings secret, she was filled with disgust and hate for him. Furthermore, when her father got unconscious because of his severe injuries, Leiming sent Xiangxiang Beila over to the Offering Temple to pray for a blessing during the elder conference. He used the oppression from virtue and chased Xiangxiang Beila away from Zhuri Beilas side. Subsequently, he controlled all the martial forces within the chieftains castle completely. Currently, Xiangxiang Beila was already filled with precautions against Leiming. Therefore, when Yang Dingtian told her about Leimings ambitions, she immediately believed him after being astonished for a moment. *** Thus, Leiming was powerless at this moment. However, he was very clear that if Yang Dingtian were to cure Zhuri Beila, it would mean his death. Amidst the confusion, Leiming couldnt help but glance over to Ge Lu. Ge Lu walked out leisurely and spoke to Yang Dingtian, Mister, please! Yang Dingtian went forward by a step and sat opposite of Ge Lu. Actually, my name is not Ge Lu but Yin Tianchong. Have you heard of it before? Ge Lu spoke unhurriedly. Yang Dingtian inquired within his mind hurriedly, Master, who is this Yin Tianchong? Dongfang Niemie cried out, Yin Tianchong? Previously, he was the Mystic Heaven Sect elder. Dozens of years ago, he disappeared suddenly. Who knew that he would be here. When he was in Mystic Heaven Sect, he had a high ranking position. He was a Concoction Master and Beast Speaker. Yang Dingtian narrowed his eyes in pretense, Yin Tianchong? Mystic Heaven Sect elder, Concoction Master, and Beast Speaker. Your position was preceded only by Patriarch Zhu. You disappeared for dozens of years. Unexpectedly, youre here. This time, it was Ge Lus turn to be astonished. Dozens of years ago, his position in the Mystic Heaven Sect was extremely high, but he maintained a low profile. Thus, there werent a lot of people who knew him. In addition, Patriarch Zhu had shut off any information that was in regards to him. Therefore, there were only a small number of people who knew him in this world. Unexpectedly, Yang Dingtian knew about him. It appeared that this persons origin wasnt simple as well. Mystic Heaven Sect is the second strongest sect in this world. Im the Mystic Heaven Sects Concoction Master and Beast Speaker elder. Therefore, Im afraid there is hardly anyone who could exceed me in this world when it comes to concocting elixirs or any other aspect. Ge Lu continued casually, Chieftain Zhuri is responsible for the development of the Foxman Race. Therefore, the treatment had to be dependable. Hence, I would like the senior brother to tell us the name he used within human civilization. I will modestly decline it if he does indeed possess a superior ability. Of course, the senior brother will have to take note that I know every outstanding Spiritual Master and Concoction Master. The meaning in Ge Lus words was obvious. If Yang Dingtian were to attempt to impersonate someone else, he would be exposed immediately. Yang Dingtian smiled slightly, Before I speak out my real identity, can Mister Ge Lu tell me why did you disappear from the Mystic Heaven Sect suddenly? I have offended Patriarch Zhu as I stopped him from practicing some extremely terrifying martial arts. Ge Lu replied nonchalantly. Yang Dingtians heart couldnt help but jump. Could Ge Lu be referring to the Soul Devouring Mystic Qi as the extremely terrifying martial arts? Now, the senior brother should be able to tell us your true identity. Ge Lu replied. Yang Dingtian sighed and lifted his mantle as he revealed a hideous and sinister face, Sea of Hades, Miejue Toutuo! Ge Lus body shivered immediately when he heard it. The Miejue Toutuo that Yang Dingtian spoke of truly existed. He was the most outstanding Concoction Master in the Sea of Hades. During then, it was him that cured Yang Dingtians horrifying injuries. Yang Dingtian didnt meet him when he woke up. However, they would frequently be in contact with each other while he was unconscious. Furthermore, he learned of his countenance through a portrait in Seas of Hades. Therefore, this look was formed after Yang Dingtian had worn a similar human-skinned mask with makeup on, allowing him to disguise as Miejue Toutuo. Of course, they didnt look exactly the same. However, it was extremely easy to resemble an ugly person. Senior brother Miejue? Is it really you? Ge Lu was surprised, Its really unexpected. I believe theres only Senior Brother Miejue who could surpass me in terms of elixir concocting and treatment technique. However, Senior Brother Miejue held an eminent position in the Sea of Hades. Why would you be stranded here? If I dont remember wrongly, the people from Sea of Hades cannot leave the place without an order. Yang Dingtian sighed as he replied casually, I have obtained a bottle of blood from the Naga Race. A golden color one. The complexion of everyone present at the scene changed once they heard it. The blood of Naga Race. That was an extremely valuable treasure within heaven and earth. Different from humans, the Naga Races formidable strength was all accumulated within their blood. Furthermore, the blood vessels of the Naga Race were even more direct. They used colors to differentiate the grades, and the golden color was the highest grade. If there were a bottle of Naga blood, it would allow a persons cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds regardless of whether it was done through the refinement of elixirs or modulating an elixir. I dont need to continue whats next, right... Yang Dingtian continued. Ge Lu replied, Of course it should be senior giving chieftain the treatment if you are really senior brother Miejue. However, this matter is of significance. And can the senior brother justify your identity? For example, that Naga blood you spoke of? The words from Ge Lu were filled with harboring unfathomable motives. Yang Dingtian wouldnt be able to prove his identity if he couldnt bring out the Naga blood. If Yang Dingtian were able to take out the Naga blood, it would give rise to greed from the whole Foxman Race. When the time would come, it would be extremely hard for him to make it out of East Parting Grassland alive. I have already handed over the Naga blood long ago. Otherwise, why would I still be alive? Of course, Im still unable to return to the humans territory after I have handed over the Naga blood. Yang Dingtian lamented. Hais, the world matters would always cause one to be filled with lament. However, the noble and unsophisticated East Parting Grassland was like the land of idyllic beauty. This is the best spot to die for people who are desireless, like us. Right. Yang Dingtian replied. However, his voice was filled with desolation. Yang Dingtians acting was extremely outstanding. Even though Xiangxiang Beila knew that this male before him was Yang Dingtian, she couldnt help but think of him as the unwanted Miejue Toutuo from Sea of Hades. Ge Lu continued, Of course, I believe senior brother Miejue. However, this matter is truly too important. If the senior brother cannot take out any object that can prove your identity, the little brother will be the one saving this person before us. Naturally, the senior brother can lend a hand at the side, and chieftain Zhuri will be saved from both of our cooperation. Yang Dingtain couldnt help but sigh inwardly. This person was really extremely shrewd. Every sentence of his was like a needle concealed in the silk floss. However, this matter was of importance. Ge Lu techniques wouldnt entrap him as he smiled faintly, Actually, theres another way. Let me enlighten senior brother Yin. Ge Lu smiled, Senior brother Miejue is certainly wise. Tianchong is listening with full attention! Yang Dingtian continued, How about this? We will have a competition on medical expertise. Whoever is more outstanding will treat chieftain Zhuri. Ge Lu smiled, Sure. Everyone had also nodded their heads repeatedly. They felt that this suggestion was extremely good and was very fair. Ge Lu continued, However, language is always number one while medicine was two. When it comes to medical expertise, it isnt easy to define who is better. Unlike martial arts where we can conduct competitions. Yang Dingtian commented, We will look for ten unconscious people. Some would be gravely injured while some would be suffering from a serious illness, etc. Any of them would be fine. Subsequently, both of us would pick five of them and conduct our medical treatment. We will see who can save the most amount of people in the shortest time. The limit will be 2 hours. How about that? Before Ge Lu even expressed his opinion, everyone had also nodded their heads repeatedly again, indicating that this method was impressive. On the contrary, Princess Xiangxiang Beila was filled with worries as she looked at Yang Dingtian. She was extremely clear about Yang Dingtian. She knew that he wasnt the medical expert Miejue Toutuo, while his opponent was the genuine Mystic Heaven Sect Concoction Master Yin Tianchong. She was afraid that Yang Dingtian would lose the competition. Senior brother Miejues idea is indeed outstanding. We shall do it. Ge Lu commented. Immediately, both of them slammed the hammer and conducted the medical competition. Whoever won would treat Zhuri Beilas injuries. *** Half an hour later, ten such people were found. All of their conditions were different from each other. They were suffering from either grave injuries, seriously ill, poisoned, withering of vitality, etc. In short, neither party could cheat. Ten dying people laid on the floor. Immediately, the atmosphere in the bedroom declined. However, there werent any howlings in grief because they didnt even have the strength to scream. Senior brother Miejue, you are the senior. You can pick first. Ge Lu spoke out with poise. Yang Dingtian wasnt polite and casually picked five of the dying people directly. Besides, the five people he had picked were suffering quite badly. From the looks of it, they seemed like they would die at any point in time. Meanwhile, Ge Lu picked the remaining five. Followingly, both parties started their treatment under everyones eyes. They didnt bother to conceal it. Ge Lus treatment method was like the moving clouds and flowing water as he did as he pleased. There wasnt any difficulty or sluggishness as it was completely calm. There wasnt any smoking aura between his moves, and it looked extremely comfortable. From a look, one could tell he was an expert. His medical technique was very similar to the Concoction Masters in this world. He infused his mystic qi to sense the situation before consuming the elixir. But compared to the other high priests, Ge Lu had an even better means of melting the elixir within his hand before delivering it over to the patients wounds. The first person was already completely unconscious. His whole face was green and was so skinny to the point that he no longer looked human-like. Furthermore, his breath and heartbeat could no longer be felt. But under Ge Lus treatment, his complexion had unexpectedly turned rosy gradually. Furthermore, his chest had started to undulate as he started to breathe. In just 15 minutes, this dying person had actually opened his eyes as he sat up blankly. Immediately, everyone present widened their eyes as they stared at this scene in disbelief. Deity-like skills. Brilliant... All of them exclaimed in admiration one after another. Immediately, traces of complacency grew on Leimings face while Xiangxiang Beila grew even more worried. After treating the first patient, Ge Lu arrived before the second person. This was a handsome youth. Currently, his eyes were opened, and he wasnt unconscious. However, he could no longer move his body. Furthermore, his face wasnt pale. Instead, it was flushed in a weird red. Immediately after, an elder walked out suddenly as he bowed to Ge Lu, Lord Ge Lu, this is my son. While fighting against the Wolfman Race, he was struck by thousands of Wolfman Race cavalries using a large hammer. His five viscera and six bowels had been shattered. Currently, he was relying on mystic qi and treasures to stay alive. Even so, he wouldnt be able to last more than three days. I beg Lord Ge Lu to save my son. Ge Lu went forward hurriedly and supported that person up. He infused a trace of mystic qi to sense this youths injuries. Immediately, he frowned slightly. Whats wrong? Is he incurable? That elder inquired in fear. Others might not be able to save him. But since Im around, there might be a chance of success. At this moment, a trace of arrogance finally appeared within Ge Lus speech. Subsequently, he took out a jade tube from his bosom and poured out a red item. That item started to wiggle after landing onto Ge Lus palm. Everyone was able to clearly see that it was a red worm and was somewhat similar to leeches found on earth. This is a Thousand Lives Deity Worm. It practically possesses an undying body. It could split into countless lives and grow or blend into any location. Ge Lu continued, This could be counted as a treasure in heaven and earth. Your son is lucky to have met me after I had obtained this worm. Otherwise, it would be hard to save him even if a god had appeared. Subsequently, a trace of mystic qi rushed up from Ge Lus palm as his palm grew red. It started to tremble at an extremely fast speed. Immediately, the Thousand Lives Deity Worm on his palm split into parts. From a dozen of them to several hundred to several thousand to tens of thousands. Ultimately, it grew subtle to the point that it could no longer be seen through naked eyes. After splitting this Thousand Lives Deity Worm to its limit, Ge Lu suddenly placed his hand on the back of the youth. Immediately, those miniature Thousand Lives Deity Worms bore their way into that youths body. Ge Lu circulated his mystic qi and started to control these Thousand Lives Deity Worms as he started to mend the youths shattered five viscera and six bowels. Three minutes went by. Five minutes went by. Ten minutes went by. Eighteen minutes went by. A miracle occurred. The bizarre redness on this dying youths face had gradually dispersed as the radiance within his eyes had gradually coagulated. Subsequently, he tried to move his immovable pair of hands before moving on to his legs. Ultimately, his eyeballs started to roll around, and his face was revealing a disbelief expression. Just when Ge Lus palm left his back, the youth stood up immediately as he charged towards his father. Father, Im cured. I have been cured. That youth yelled excitedly. Indeed, he had recovered. Although he was still somewhat weak, he no longer lacked the energy to shout. Immediately, everyone looked at Ge Lu like they saw a deity. Meanwhile, the father and son immediately knelt and gave Ge Lu kowtow continuously. Mister Ge Lu is really a god. Theres not a need to have this competition at all. S?a?ch* Th? ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 293: The Godlike Yang Dingtian (Part 3) Chapter 293: The Godlike Yang Dingtian (Part 3)Mister Ge Lu is really a god. Theres not a need to have this competition at all. Right, this Ge Lu was truly amazing. Unexpectedly, he was able to rescue a person that had his five viscera and six bowels shattered. He was truly formidable. Everyone looked towards Yang Dingtian and felt that there was no longer a need to continue this competition. In less than 45 minutes, high priest Ge Lu had already cured two people. Meanwhile, Yang Dingtian had yet to bring one of them back alive yet. They shook their head even more when they looked back to Yang Dingtians means of treatment. They had never seen Yang Dingtians way of treatment before. Unexpectedly, he would open up the patients eyes or look at their tongue or even touch the blood vessel on their wrist. Sometimes, he would even take out a few needles and poke at random spots. From start to finish, there wasnt any concrete treatment process at all. Furthermore, he moved on to treat the second person when he had yet to cure the first one. Before he had cured the second person, he moved on to the third person. Forty-five minutes went by just like that. Five of the patients had all been tossed aside by Yang Dingtian. However, no one understood what he did. And from their perspective, it didnt hold any effectiveness. Currently, Ge Lu had already cured two people, while Yang Dingtian was like a headless fly scattering everywhere. Instantly, the look everyone had for Yang Dingtian grew even more unfavorable. They felt that he was here to deceive them. Leimings complexion grew colder while his gaze looked more and more complacent. Originally, he thought that Yang Dingtian would at least possess some abilities. Unexpectedly, he was a completely ignorant and incompetent swindler. Even so, his dream lover, Princess Xiangxiang Beilas body had already been scammed. The moment Leiming thought of this, he was filled with murderous intent. He held onto his sword and made a resolve. Once this competition was over, he would dismember Yang Dingtian into thousands of pieces. Ge Lu turned a deaf ear to Yang Dingtians expression. He didnt reveal any sign of complacency on his face. Ge Lu arrived before the third person after curing the first two people. From the looks of it, the third person seemed like he had the best circumstances. His complexion wasnt very unsightly. Furthermore, he was still able to move his limbs with slight difficulty. There werent any distinctive injuries, and he could even talk. From the looks of it, they felt that this third patient is the easiest to treat. However, Ge Lu arrived before him and lifted his shirt as he glanced at his lower abdomen. Subsequently, he infused a trace of mystic qi to sense the patients body from his back. After doing all these, Ge Lu shook his head, This persons mystic meridians had all been destroyed. His qi vessel had cracked, and all of his vitality is flowing out along with his mystic qi. Even a god wouldnt be able to save him. The third patient was in despair when he heard this. Meanwhile, everyone present nodded their heads in succession, indicating that they fully agreed and didnt defer from Ge Lus hypothesis. After that, Ge Lu walked towards the fourth patient. It was at that moment when Yang Dingtian had stopped all of his treatment and searched for a chair to sit down. Immediately, everyone harrumphed coldly. The gazes that looked at Yang Dingtian were filled with even more disdain and hostility. When this swindler saw that he could no longer deceive others, he simply stopped his act and no longer bothered to finish it. He simply sat down immediately. However, how could they simply let him off like this since he had actually swindled his way to the Foxman Races chieftain? They would make sure to make him pay after all this had ended. At this moment, Princess Xiangxiang Beilas beautiful face was already filled with despair. Leiming walked to her side and spoke casually, Is this the miracle doctor that you found? You actually want him to treat the adoptive father. Now, Im doubting if you harbor any unfathomable motive like causing the adoptive fathers death to take over the chieftains position earlier. Youre slandering me. Princess Xiangxiang Beila cried out in anger immediately. She no longer spoke after she yelled. Leiming smiled coldly as he drew out his sword and shouted, Elders, it is very clear that this Na Lu is a swindler. When are we going to make our move if we arent going to kill him now? Kill him! Immediately, several experts had also drawn their swords as they surrounded Yang Dingtian with Leiming. It was at this moment when the first person Yang Dingtian treated, opened his eyes suddenly. He sat up and spoke, Whats going on? Did I die and arrive at the underworld? Everyone was astonished! The first person was actually cured. He was suffering from an extremely toxic poison, one that couldnt be cured fully. Originally, he would inevitably die. Now, he had actually woken up. Instantly, everyone stopped their besiegement as they looked at each other. Immediately, Princess Xiangxiang Beila revealed an inconceivable and excited expression. Meanwhile, Leimings complexion changed, This was just an incident. Perhaps, the poison in the first patients body had already subsided, and he had suddenly recovered. Na Lu didnt cure him. As before, hes still a swindler. Theres no time to lose. Everyone, make a move, and kill this thief. Leiming lifted his sword and was about to charge over after he spoke. It was at this moment when Yang Dingtians second patient had also opened his eyes and sat up, Eh? How did I recover? Where am I? This was a dying old man who was no less than 130 years old. Basically, there wasnt any treatment for him. Yet unexpectedly, who would ever imagine that he could actually be cured. Before everyones astonishment had ended, the third patient had also sat up immediately. Subsequently, it was the fourth, fifth... The last three patients conditions were more serious and grave than the two before them. Unexpectedly, they had all been cured. The first one might be an incident. But all five of them had recovered now. This could only prove that Yang Dingtian had cured them. It was known that the injuries and illness of the five patients Yang Dingtian took were even more severe than Ge Lus patients. Unexpectedly, they had all recovered. How could anyone present not be shocked by it? Therefore, the place instantly became quiet. Everyone looked at Yang Dingtian as if they were looking at a god. This person was truly too terrifying. No one was able to understand his treatment and basically had no idea what he was doing. Originally, they thought that he was just a headless fly that would fling his hand to put forth an act like this was an unfair competition after tossing them around. Who knew that he had already cured them. Therefore, everyone present was looking at Yang Dingtian with a gaze filled with reverent. Meanwhile, the elegant and calm Ge Lu was extremely shocked by it. He stared at Yang Dingtian in disbelief. It was truly brilliant. He had always felt that his medical expertise was unrivaled. Who knew that he couldnt even see the tail of Miejue Toutuo before him. He couldnt even understand Miejue Toutuos treatment method. They were truly a world apart. Yang Dingtian stood up and arrived at Ge Lus third patient under everyones astonished gaze. It was the one whose meridians had been broken, and the qi vessel cracked. Previously Ge Lu had already determined his ending. Senior brother Yin, you think that this person is incurable just because his mystic meridians had been destroyed and qi vessel cracked? Yang Dingtian inquired. Yes. Its incurable. Even a god wouldnt be able to save him. As before, Ge Lu replied in confidence. Let me try then. Yang Dingtian commented. Subsequently, he arrived before the youth that had his meridians destroyed, and the qi vessel cracked. As before, he gave him a pinch everywhere and felt his pulse. Ultimately, he took out a golden needle and pierced it into an elixir. After which, it instantly melted as it dissolved onto the surface of this golden needle. After rubbing it on his palm a few times, Yang Dingtian pierced it at all the acupuncture points of the patient. Merely a dozen minutes later, a miracle happened. The youths hand started to budge. Subsequently, he stood up with both his legs. You can try giving a punch. Yang Dingtian replied. Currently, this youth was overly excited and had temporarily lost his senses. He even forgot to be grateful as he sunk into excitement and shock. After hearing Yang Dingtians words, he punched out with all his strength like he heard an imperial edict. Immediately, a space tearing noise rang out. It indicated that this mans fist was extremely strong. It was absolutely not something a person with broken meridians could display. The shocked audiences were as if they had been struck by lightning. Some of them even knelt onto the ground directly. Everything before them would absolutely not happen in reality. Its a miracle, a heavenly miracle. Yang Dingtian gave Ge Lu a faint smile, Mister Ge Lu, do you still want to continue competing? Ge Lus appearance turned sluggish as he bowed, No need. The senior brother is really outstanding. Yin Tianchong is by far too inferior. Of course, Yang Dingtian didnt possess any outstanding medical expertise. Everything that happened was because of holy water. The holy water that came from the Five Elements Hall Secret Realm. Today, he had used holy water to save six people. In fact, the amount of holy water wasted was less than half a bottle only. After sprinkling the holy water into the elixir, he would pierce the golden needle into the elixir. This caused the holy water to moisten the needle surface. After piercing it into the body, the holy water would start its effectiveness on the persons body. The reason why he consumed so little holy water was that this group of peoples cultivation wasnt high. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian had merely brought them back to life and didnt recover their mystic qi. In addition, eighty percent of the holy water had been used on youth who had broken meridians and cracked qi vessel. Mister, I, I truly didnt expect... Xiangxiang Beila charged forward and grasped onto Yang Dingtians hand, I plead mister to save my father quickly. Ge Lu bowed again, Senior brother Miejue, everything is in your hands then. I shall bid my farewell. S?a??h th? N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Leimings complexion trembled, I will send Lord Ge Lu off. The duo was about to leave immediately after they spoke. Wait a moment, senior brother Yin. If you arent in a hurry, do you mind staying behind for a moment? I still have some matters that I need to consult you. Yang Dingtian spoke out. Ge Lus complexion changed slightly. He swept his gaze across everyone. Subsequently, he nodded his head. Many thanks. Yang Dingtian replied, Now, Im about to start the treatment for chieftain Zhuri. I request everyone to remain quiet. Immediately, the place turned silent. Yang Dingtians words were like an imperial edict. When he asked everyone to remain quiet, almost everyone present didnt dare to even breathe with their mouth. Chapter 294: Curing Zhuri Beila! Chapter 294: Curing Zhuri Beila!Yang Dingtian arrived before Zhuri Beilas bed and lifted his blanket, revealing his emaciated body. Xiangxiang Beilas eyes immediately turned red after taking a glance at it. She almost wept out. Previously, her father was extremely handsome. Now, he had unexpectedly become like this. Yang Dingtian stared at Zhuri Beilas body attentively while standing by the bedside. Now, it was the time for his performance. He needed to blind everyones eyes and leave behind an indelible impression on the Foxman Race. He wanted to let them think of him as someone like a god. Therefore, not only did he have to cure Zhuri Beila, but the way he needed to do it had to be extremely breathtaking. Hence, Yang Dingtian buckled the ice attribute mystic talisman on his wrist secretly. Subsequently, he absorbed a bottle of holy water into his palm. Yang Dingtian lifted his left hand and transmitted a portion of mystic qi out. Immediately, a gorgeous flame started to rise in his palm. It was filled with spiritual qi and beauty. After which, he lifted his right hand and pointed at Zhuri Beilas body after sweeping his hand across the flame. Immediately, a breathtaking and shocking scene unfolded. A needle that was condensed from cold ice immediately shot out from Yang Dingtians finger. After passing through that lump of flame, the cold ice needle started to combust, but it didnt seem to be melting. Swoosh... Subsequently, that combusting cold ice mystic needle pierced into Zhuri Beilas left wrist. That cold ice needle pierced into Zhuri Beilas left wrist directly. The portion that was left uncontacted was actually still combusting, making it look gorgeous and mysterious. Swoosh... Immediately after, the second cold ice needle shot out. After passing through the raging flame, it shot right onto Zhuri Beilas right wrist. Swoosh... The third needle shot onto Zhuri Beilas left foot. Swoosh... The fourth needle shot into Zhuri Beilas right foot. Swoosh... The fifth needle shot out. After passing through the flame, it brought the flame together with it. The fifth needle was around half an inch long while the flame was about an inch big as it pierced into Zhuri Beilas injury directly. Instantly, the rootless cold ice needles all pierced onto Zhuri Beilas body while it combusted. Everyone present could no longer describe the feelings they were sensing. It was as if they were dreaming. How could a person possibly possess a fire and ice attribute skill at the same time? How could the cold ice needle not melt when it encountered the flame? Furthermore, it was combusting. All of these were basically not something a human can achieve. The principal was actually very simple. Yang Dingtian used the ice attribute mystic talisman energy to condense the holy water into ice, thus forming the cold ice needle. The reason why it didnt melt after passing through the flame was that Yang Dingtian had refined the Mystic Flame. The Mystic Flame possessed its own life. Therefore, he was able to control the Mystic Flames heat completely. A Mystic Flame could possess a terrifying heat or no heat energy at all. And the flame Yang Dingtian had called out was one that didnt have any heat energy. Therefore, the cold ice needle would not melt after passing through it. Even if the flame were combusting on the needle, it still wouldnt melt. However, no one knew this justification. Therefore, everyone felt that they saw a miracle, a god. s?a??h th? N?velF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. *** Yang Dingtian raised his hand slightly when the five cold ice needles on Zhuri Beilas body had combusted to its peak. Immediately, the rootless ice needles turned into ashes and formed countless beams of lights as it entered Zhuri Beilas body suddenly. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian lifted both his hands suddenly. Immediately, Zhuri Beilas body started to ignite, and the beautiful flame instantly engulfed his body completely. Ah... Everyone present couldnt help but cry out. Their chieftains body had actually started to burn. If it werent because they worshipped Yang Dingtian within their hearts, they would have charged up and dismembered Yang Dingtian into thousands of pieces. Immediately after, a scene that would never be forgotten for their whole life appeared. Zhuri Beila had not only come out unscathed from the raging flame, but he also sat up from his bed before standing up. Everyone was able to see Zhuri Beilas body going through huge changes through the flame. The originally thin and withered old body started to recover back to its youthfulness inches by inches. All of the wrinkles were disappearing rapidly. All the dried white hair gradually recovered its luster. He became younger quickly as he recovered back to his charming and handsome look. In just a short amount of time, the old and withered old man had disappeared. He became an imposing handsome middle-aged man. From the looks of it, he would at most be in his thirties. Zhuri Beila recovered back to the look when he had just received his injuries. Yang Dingtian smiled slightly as he retracted his palm. Immediately, the flame on Zhuri Beilas body suddenly extinguished. Suddenly, the charming and handsome Zhuri Beilas stood before everyone. Father... Xiangxiang Beila wept as she charged towards her fathers embrace. Meanwhile, those present could no longer endure the pressure coming from this miracle. All of them knelt onto the ground. Pay greetings to Grandmaster, pay greetings to chieftain! This group of people kowtowed to Yang Dingtian first before doing it to Zhuri Beila. At this moment, Leimings face was already filled with fright. Meanwhile, Ge Lu stood at the side indifferently as if he werent any worried about what was happening before him. The fully recovered Zhuri Beila arrived before Yang Dingtian and bowed, Many thanks to grandmasters life-saving grace. The whole Foxman Race will be indebted to you forever. Yang Dingtian hurriedly supported him, Chieftain needs not to be so polite. Zhuri Beila continued to bow before standing up upright as he looked towards Leiming in a lightning-fast manner, Leiming, you are really a good adoptive son! Immediately, Leimings complexion changed as he spoke fearfully, Adoptive father, you must not listen to this slanderous human report. This human saved you because he wanted to seize the Foxman Race chieftains position. Just a few hours ago, he even used your life to threaten Xiangxiang Beila to offer her innocence... Leimings train of thought suddenly became smooth when he spoke to this point, This humans objective is extremely clear. He wanted to force Xiangxiang Beila to offer her innocence before saving the adoptive father. Subsequently, he wants to take Xiangxiang Beila as his wife. Immediately after, he would use unpredictable methods to dispose of the adoptive father. This way, he would be able to control the Foxman Race completely. Subsequently, Leiming pointed at Yang Dingtian, Everyone had seen it. This persons ability is completely unpredictable. Are you willing to accept this person becoming the Foxman Races chieftain? All the Foxman Race elders complexion turned unsightly when they heard it. Currently, this group of people was filled with reverence toward Yang Dingtian. However, there was also a trace of fear. Furthermore, the most crucial point was that Leimings words had actually touched onto the matter that they were most worried about. They would never accept a human as their Foxman Races ruler, regardless of how much grace they owed him. Chapter 295: Instant Killing Leiming, Astonishment! Chapter 295: Instant Killing Leiming, Astonishment!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Just like what Leiming had said. After Yang Dingtian had taken Xiangxiang Beila as his wife, he would then murder Zhuri Beila with his unpredictable ability. There might even be a possibility of Zhuri Beila becoming a puppet. Yang Dingtian had no choice but to admit Leimings way with words. When Leiming noticed that everyones complexion had changed, including Zhuri Beila, he spoke, I know that because of this humans slander, I will not be able to stay in the Foxman Race anymore. However, before I leave, I would like to leave behind a piece of sincere advice. Adoptive father, Na Lu is too unpredictable. For the sake of Foxman Race, you should confine him immediately. Furthermore, cripple his martial arts. This way, you will be able to exploit his rebirth ability and not become a threat to the Foxman Race. Of course, doing so might go against your ethics. But for the sake of Foxman Races future, the adoptive father will have to look at the bigger picture. At this moment, Yang Dingtians complexion had truly turned unsightly. This Leiming was truly unordinary. Even at this point in time, he was still thinking of ideas to free himself and cause Yang Dingtians death. Furthermore, it was apparent that his words moved the majority of the Foxman Races elders. A moment ago, they learned that Yang Dingtian was the Concoction Master in the Sea of Hades. Since he owned a precious treasure, he was chased out of the human continent as he came to the East Parting Grassland without anyone to rely on. Therefore, Leimings proposal was definitely feasible, which enticed all the Foxman Races elders completely. When Leiming saw his words moved everyone, he continued his instigation, Everyone, dont be frightened by this humans nature. Indeed, his treatment ability is unpredictable. However, his martial arts ability is just ordinary and couldnt even be compared to mine. His ability is just saving others while his cultivation is very ordinary. If you dont believe me, Im willing to compete against him and prove it to everyone that this person is not terrifying at all. At this moment, Yang Dingtian had a whole new level of respect for this person. This persons scheming strategy was indeed very powerful. He knew how to break apart the fearful appearance of Yang Dingtian through the foundation. When Princess Xiangxiang Beila saw how Leiming had distorted the truth, her body trembled from anger and was about to scold him loudly. She wanted to say that Yang Dingtian didnt take advantage of her and didnt take her innocence. However, Yang Dingtian glanced at her to stop her. After hindering Princess Xiangxiang Beila, Yang Dingtian turned around and smiled at Leiming, Whats your cultivation? Leiming smiled coldly, According to your human class, 8-star Martial Ancestor class. Yang Dingtian replied, You think that Im weaker than you? Correct. Some of your abilities are indeed unpredictable. However, your martial cultivation is extremely ordinary. You are even weaker than me at this age. Leiming smiled. You want to compete with me? Yang Dingtian asked. Thats right. Leiming smiled coldly, I want to expose you. Good! Yang Dingtian spoke, Originally, I had a treasure sword. However, I lost it when I was departing from the human continent. I will use this cane to fight with you. Yang Dingtian raised the iron rod on his hand. Immediately, everyone was astonished. Leimings blazing sword was an extremely formidable weapon in the Foxman Race. Meanwhile, the iron rod in Yang Dingtians hand didnt even possess any energy fluctuation. It was absolutely the crudest and stiff iron rod. The iron rod on Yang Dingtian wasnt an ordinary iron rod. Rather, it was the reformed Ah Chou youngling sword. Before Yang Dingtian had devoured and refined the Mystic Flame, the youngling sword still possessed a trace of energy fluctuation. Now, the youngling sword was already impervious to its surroundings and had accumulated all the energy within him. Therefore, in everyones eyes, Yang Dingtians weapon wouldnt be able to withstand a blow against Leimings weapon. You are looking for death. Dont blame me. Leiming smiled coldly, A moment ago, you were able to avoid my sword beam. Now, Im going to use mystic skills to attack you. Try dodging it. Yang Dingtian shook his head, Its really an insult to me to make a move against the people of your level. How about this, I will stand here motionlessly. You can use your strongest mystic skill to attack me. Tsk tsk, pretentious. Leiming smiled. The complexion of everyone present at the scene changed slightly. Leiming was an 8-star Martial Ancestor class. He would injure even Martial Supreme class experts if they werent going to move and let him attack them. Subsequently, Leiming lifted his sword and positioned it erected like a tree. He chanted a rhyme and circulated his mystic qi. Immediately, the sword in his hand brightened up suddenly. Buzz... Immediately after, a phoenix imprint suddenly appeared on his arm. He was going to use his martial soul! This was the first time Yang Dingtian met an opponent that was going to use their martial soul. At that time in Qin City when he was fighting against Ye Feng, Ye Feng had utilized an evil technique. Therefore, he didnt use his martial soul. This Leiming before him was planning to use his martial soul. Everyones complexion changed when they saw Leimings martial soul. This Fire Demon Phoenix was at least an eighth or ninth grade demonic beast. It was extremely formidable and rare. How could Leiming have the ability to refine a demon phoenix into his martial soul? This was completely impossible. At this moment, Zhuri Beilas expression had also slightly changed. He had no idea that Leiming possessed a demon phoenix martial soul. Furthermore, it was clearly impossible for him to take the demon phoenix as his martial soul with his own ability alone. In fact, the majority of the Foxman Race possessed the demonic beasts blood vessels. However, there were only a few of them who possessed a martial soul. And it was even rarer to find one who possessed a flying mount because the majority of the Half-Human Race lacked the spiritual talent, and there wasnt any Beast Speaker. The Half-Human Race was extremely polarized when it came to spiritual talent. Individual races like the Eight Talons Human Race possessed an almost astonishing spiritual talent. Furthermore, the majority of the Half-Human Race was deficient in spiritual talent. Zhuri Beila managed to possess a Raging Flame Demonic Flood Dragon martial soul under a fortuitous encounter. However, as the Foxman Races princess, Xiangxiang Beila still didnt possess her own martial soul. Thus, Leiming shouldnt have one either. But now, Leiming unexpectedly possessed a Fire Demon Phoenix martial soul. This was impossible, and it was apparent that there was something amiss going on here. However, even if they dont speak of what was amiss here. Once a martial artist possessed a formidable martial soul, their attacking power would completely be incomprehensible. Leiming was an 8-star Martial Ancestor class. With his Fire Demon Phoenix martial soul, his attacking power would be equivalent to two 8-star Martial Ancestors. Therefore, his attack this time would undoubtedly be extremely astonishing. *** Along with the influx of mystic qi, Leimings sword had already grown extremely red. Furthermore, the Fire Demon Phoenix stripe on his hand grew brighter overtime. Ultimately, it was as if his whole arm had been ignited. Hu... Subsequently, a flaming demon phoenix suddenly bore out of Leimings arm and entered his sword. Boom... Instantly, the sword combusted. A tremendous amount of energy exploded. Boom... The boulder constructed room suddenly broke apart as rocks splattered everyone. Zhuri Beila used his mystic qi to protect his daughter immediately. Everyones complexion changed. Leimings mystic skill power had greatly exceeded their imagination. Meanwhile, Yang Dingtian couldnt help but be shocked. Originally, he thought that he would be able to withstand against Leimings 8-star Martial Ancestor mystic skill. Now, he started to get worried. Demon Phoenix Split Heaven Arrow, die... Along with Leimings roar, a huge flaming demon phoenix suddenly flew out from the sword. His whole body immediately became a large flaming illusion bow. A blood-red colored flame energy arrow condensed in the air. He was about to use the Fire Demon Phoenix martial soul as his bow and his whole body as a mystic qi arrow so that he could launch a fatal attack against Yang Dingtian. Swoosh... The Fire Demon Phoenix bow was pulled to its limit, and the huge dazzling arrow shot out suddenly. Immediately, the huge arrow turned the surroundings of where it went through into fine powder like a shooting star. Ah... Princess Xiangxiang Beila cried out. Suddenly, she pulled Zhuri Beilas arm. Although Foxman Race chieftain Zhuri Beila had yet to recover his mystic qi fully, he started to circulate his mystic qi and was about to envelop Yang Dingtian body with it. However, something unexpected happened. Zhuri Beilas mystic qi was like mud sinking into the ocean as it disappeared from the atmosphere silently. Who was it? So strong that it could cause a Master class experts mystic qi to feel like it had submerged into the ocean. It was at this moment, the shocking Demon Phoenix Split Heaven Arrow suddenly pierced Yang Dingtians body and exploded a ball of light as if it wanted to devour everything. Ah... Everyone cried out. They felt that the astonishing medical expert would be annihilated without any remnant left behind. When the demon arrow entered the body, Yang Dingtian lifted the remodeled youngling sword iron rod and circulated the third rank of Pig Slaying Sword Art, the Fire Transformation Art of Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique. Boom... At the same time, the Mystic Flame within Yang Dingtians qi vessel suddenly soared and entered into the Fire Transformation Art. Previously when Yang Dingtian used the Fire Transformation Art, it would only be able to dissolve half of the mystic qi that was equal to his cultivation. In other words, if his enemy were a 3-star or 4-star Martial Ancestor expert, then Yang Dingtian would be able to use the Fire Transformation Art to dissolve all the energy from the attack. Now that Yang Dingtian possessed the Mystic Flame, he wanted to try if he could dissolve an 8-star Martial Ancestor mystic skill attack. Unexpectedly, the attack before him was not only from an 8-star Martial Ancestor expert, it was together with a Fire Demon Phoenix martial soul energy. Therefore, Yang Dingtian had no idea if he could dissolve it at all. This would all depend on the Mystic Flames might. Hu... The Demon Phoenix Split Heaven Arrows terrifying energy penetrated the youngling sword first. The youngling sword itself was also able to devour the fire attribute energy. However, it could only devour 15 percent of formidable fire attribute energy. The remaining energy poured into Yang Dingtians body frantically. Yang Dingtian felt his body tremble as if a bomb had exploded within his body. Immediately, Yang Dingtian was engulfed by the flame. At the same time, he circulated the Fire Transformation Art. Whoosh... Instantly, Yang Dingtian was able to sense that this formidable energy was being devoured rapidly as it was turned into the purest form of mystic qi and poured into his qi vessel. Immediately, an astonishing scene appeared. The flame on Yang Dingtian grew smaller and smaller. After mixing the Fire Transformation Art with the Mystic Flame, it dissolved the Demon Phoenix Split Heaven Arrow energy frantically. Three seconds later. More than half of the demon arrows attack energy had been dissolved and devoured. Yang Dingtian used his Nine Yang Mystic Meridians and received the remaining 30 percent of the mystic skill energy. He felt that all of his mystic meridians trembled as acute pain spread out, causing him to almost vomit a mouth of blood. However, Yang Dingtian swallowed it back. Just like this, the flame on Yang Dingtians body had completely extinguished. Yang Dingtian didnt dodge or move as he withstood the combined assault of an 8-star Martial Ancestor mystic skill together with a formidable martial soul without any injuries. Immediately, Yang Dingtian was astonished in his heart. The Mystic Flames power was indeed terrifying. An 8-star Martial Ancestor expert was already stronger than Yang Dingtian. Adding on the power of Fire Demon Phoenix and Demon Phoenix Split Heaven Arrow, the resulting power was three to four times stronger. Without the Mystic Flame, Yang Dingtian would at most be able to dissolve one-tenth of this energy. However, after possessing the Mystic Flame, the Fire Transformation Arts might had risen drastically several fold. Unexpectedly, it had dissolved half of this Demon Phoenix Split Heaven Arrows energy. The Mystic Flames power was truly too terrifying. After possessing it, just the Fire Transformation Art alone had increased exponentially. *** From the outsiders eyes, it was extremely shocking. Everyone was able to see Yang Dingtian standing there clearly. After such a formidable Demon Phoenix Split Heaven Arrow pierced into his body, it disappeared without any trace like the mud entering the ocean. They had no idea that Yang Dingtian had circulated his Mystic Flame and Fire Transformation Art. They only saw Yang Dingtian standing there motionlessly and let the attack assault him freely. Immediately, everyone was speechless. What cultivation realm was Yang Dingtian in? Such a formidable fusion of mystic skill together with the martial soul couldnt even make him budge. Meanwhile, Leiming seemed as if he had seen a ghost. Previously, after the brief combat, he was very certain that Yang Dingtians mystic qi cultivation was certainly incomparable to his. How did he suddenly become so terrifyingly strong? Originally, he was confident that this Demon Phoenix Split Heaven Arrow would be able to kill Yang Dingtian immediately. Who knew that the other party could actually withstand it without budging. Furthermore, it didnt even leave behind any injuries. It didnt even harm a single thread of his hair. Immediately, Leiming was terrified. He glanced towards Ge Lu. This person before him immediately became extremely mysterious and formidable. Was that all? Yang Dingtian smiled nonchalantly. Leiming nodded his head instinctively. Yang Dingtian flung his sleeve slightly, Sure, its my turn now. Immediately, Leimings body tensed up. He held onto his sword tightly with both his hand and circulated all his mystic qi to protect himself. He was truly afraid. He had no idea what kind of world-shaking attack Yang Dingtian would use. Therefore, he had utilized all his strength to defend against the upcoming assault. Everyone present had also held onto their breath and waited for Yang Dingtians world-shaking assault. Even Ge Lu had also coagulated his gaze and was waiting for Yang Dingtian to make his move. Yang Dingtian sighed slightly, Leiming, fighting against you is really an insult to me. After Yang Dingtian spoke, he brandished his iron rod slightly. It didnt contain any strength or might. It was so weak that it wouldnt be able to chase a housefly away. Nothing happened. There wasnt any world-shaking scene developing. Everyone had their gaze fixated onto Yang Dingtians hand and the iron rod. Leiming was also staring at Yang Dingtian in fear. What are you looking at? I have already launched my attack. Yang Dingtian replied nonchalantly. He already made his move? It wasnt awe-inspiring at all. Why wasnt anything happening? Everyone present was greatly disappointed. What was it? He had just brandished the iron rod on his hand weakly. Yet he claimed that he already made a move. There wasnt any mystic qi or flame shooting out. Was Yang Dingtian letting Leiming off? Leiming mumbled, He already finished his attack. It couldnt even tickle me. After circulating his mystic qi around his body, Leiming discovered that he didnt even lose a thread of hair. Leiming couldnt help but relax when he heard that Yang Dingtian had finished his attack. Haha, everyone had seen it. This human was just putting forth an act. His cultivation is extremely mediocre and knew that he couldnt injure me. Therefore, he had purposely acted magnanimous and let me off. He deliberately brandished his iron rod unenthusiastically so that he could maintain this expert posture of his. Leiming smiled coldly, The reason why he was able to withstand my mystic skill wasnt that he was powerful. Rather, it was because he was wearing some sort of treasure that can defend against my attack. His cultivation is actually extremely weak. Otherwise, he would have made his move to kill me. Now, Im starting to think that the reason he could save the adoptive father was because of some sort of treasure. It was basically not his ability at all. COMMENT Yang Dingtian glanced at Leiming before replying casually, Youre overthinking. Subsequently, an astonishing scene unfolded once again. A trace of black smoke suddenly emitted out from Leimings body. Subsequently, thin layers of flame bore out from his stomach. However, Leiming was unable to sense any pain. He didnt even discover it and was still speaking as he belittled Yang Dingtian unbridledly. Meanwhile, everyone was completely stupefied when they stared at his stomach. Bam... It was only until Leimings stomach had been fully combusted and burnt did he discover that his body was somewhat empty. He couldnt help but look down. Instantly, Leiming was convulsing. Ah... He issued a world-shaking miserable scream. Boom... At the same time, a lump of flame suddenly started to combust as it engulfed Leiming. Leiming collapsed onto the ground with a loud bang while he screamed horrendously. He had died! Everyones complexion had turned deathly pale as they looked at Yang Dingtian with a gaze that was filled with fear once again. How strong was Yang Dingtian? Not only was his medical treatment unpredictable, but his killing moves were also even more unpredictable. s?a??h th? N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. He had merely brandished the iron rod on his hand lightly. There wasnt any mystic qi and seemed like it couldnt even chase a housefly away. However, the person he attacked had their qi vessel burnt. It was only after his stomach had been combusted before he had discovered all this. Subsequently, after the flame had fully engulfed him, he died immediately. Such an attacking way was truly too terrifying. It caused them to tremble with fear. Of course, the scene might look extremely mysterious. In reality, it wasnt as mysterious as it seemed to be. It would appear that Yang Dingtian had brandished his iron rod softly. However, this was actually done with all his strength. Furthermore, it was done on top of the Mystic Flames fatal attack. He had utilized the fourth style of the 8th-grade mystic skill Devil Flame Saber Art, Birth of Heart Devil. The 8th-grade mystic skill Devil Flame Saber Art only had a total of three styles and this fourth style was a secret technique. The three styles before were already stronger than the latter. When he was fighting against Ye Feng, Yang Dingtian had merely used the first style, Blazing Violent Saber, to destroy Ye Feng. Meanwhile, this fourth style, Birth of Heart Devil, couldnt be cultivated by and used by the majority of martial artists as the requirement of mystic meridians to do it was extremely high. In the past, the might released from this technique wouldnt be very strong. However, it was different now. After possessing the Mystic Flame, this Birth of Heart Devil style was as if it were personally made for Yang Dingtian. Chapter 296: Alliance Marriage with Foxman Race! Method to save Bingling! Chapter 296: Alliance Marriage with Foxman Race! Method to save Bingling!In the past, the might released from this technique wouldnt be very strong. However, it was different now. After possessing the Mystic Flame, this Birth of Heart Devil style was as if it were personally made for Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian possessed the Million Spirit Demon Flame. It was formed from countless grievance spirits and fire attribute energy. Thus, making it most suitable for Birth of Heart Devil. The Birth of Heart Devil might seem like it didnt possess any assault power. However, it directly triggered the mystic qi flame within the opponents qi vessel, causing them to die from self-combustion. It was extremely hard to achieve this. If long as the opponents cultivation was higher than you, and they possessed a high amount of spiritual energy or had entered a vigilant state, this attack would no longer have any effect. Furthermore, it could be suppressed by mystic qi after showing its effect. Therefore, this Birth of Heart Devil was practically useless if there werent the assistance of Mystic Flame. It was also because of this that the Birth of Heart Devil could only be added into the additional secret move of the 8th-grade mystic skill Devil Flame Saber Art regardless of how strong it was. Furthermore, in the past, although Yang Dingtian knew that the Birth of Heart Devil was extremely formidable, he still didnt use this move when he was fighting against Ye Feng. Now, Yang Dingtian possessed the Mystic Flame. He was able to silently ignite the mystic qi within Leimings qi vessel to cause a self-combustion. Furthermore, Leiming had courted his own death. When he heard that Yang Dingtians attack had ended and he didnt receive any injuries, he started to open his mouth and rebuked at Yang Dingtian impatiently as he loosened his vigilance. Thus, allowing the flame to burn open his qi vessel silently and devour his body and life. Just like this, with the secret mystic skill of Devil Flame Saber Art along with Leimings death, Yang Dingtian created this extremely shocking scene. He had given everyone a shock, including Xiangxiang Beila. *** After everything came to an end, Yang Dingtian brushed his sleeves slightly under everyones shocked and frightened gaze. It was only during then did Yang Dingtian speak, A moment ago, Leiming said that I had used chieftain Zhuris life and threatened Princess Xiangxiang Beila to offer her pure body. This matter is non-existent. Xiangxiang Beila, you can prove it to everyone. Xiangxiang Beilas face turned slightly red. Subsequently, she tore open her sleeves and revealed a red mole on her jade arm. This indicated that she still possessed a pure body. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian continued, Once again, I swear that I have no intention to lay my finger on the Foxman Race chieftains position. After curing Chieftain Zhuri, I will leave the Foxman Race immediately. Furthermore, I dont intend to force Princess Xiangxiang Beila to marry me. Immediately, the complexion of everyone present at the scene was filled with shame after they heard it. Yang Dingtian had shown such benevolent grace to the Foxman Race. Previously, under the instigation of Leiming, the Foxman Race had actually started to doubt him. At this moment, the nobility and unquestionable integrity of Yang Dingtian had caused them to grow even more ashamed. Of course, Yang Dingtian didnt speak of the matter about Leiming colluding with outsiders to trap Zhuri Beila so that he could seize the chieftain position. If he were to speak of this, it would truly violate his expert demeanor as this could be visualized by everyone present or even declared by Princess Xiangxiang Beila. Senior brother Miejue, you have already helped the Foxman Race clean up their tribe. Can I leave now? Ge Lu suddenly spoke out. Yang Dingtian greeted immediately, Senior brother Yin, whatre you saying? The reason I urged you to stay was that I have only encountered you, a human, in the gigantic East Parting Grassland. I have a lot of things that I wish to narrate to you. It was purely because I wanted to make friends with you, and there isnt any hidden intention behind this. High priest Ge Lu smiled slightly, I also wish to get close with senior brother Miejue. However, theres too much inconvenience here. I have built an interim straw hut at the sun and moon lake that was at the edge of Foxman Races territory in the southeast. During this time, I want to tour around the surrounding landscape as well as harvest some medical ingredients. If senior brother Miejue is interested, brother Yin welcomes you with open arms! Yang Dingtian replied, I will definitely pay a visit. It was only at this moment did Yang Dingtian lower his guard. It was fortunate that this Ge Lu didnt seem to have the intention to turn hostile towards him. Otherwise, he was afraid that there wouldnt be anyone who could make it out alive. *** The remaining others left, leaving behind Yang Dingtian, Xiangxiang Beila, and Zhuri Beila in the room. Master Na Lu, Zhuri offers gratitude for your life-saving grace once again. Furthermore, Im deeply sorry for the suspicion I had for you previously. Zhuri Beila bowed deeply. Do not worry, chieftain. Yang Dingtian replied hurriedly. A moment ago, Xiangxiang Beila had told her father about Leimings conspiracy. However, she didnt have the time to tell him about Yang Dingtians true identity. Furthermore, she didnt have the approval of Yang Dingtian. Thus, Zhuri Beila still had no idea about it and kept on thinking that Yang Dingtian before him was Miejue Toutuo from the Sea of Hades. Yang Dingtian removed his mantle hurriedly and tore down his mask, revealing his real face. Chieftain, I dont deserve this. Yang Dingtian returned the politeness, Xiangxiang Beila and I are good friends. Therefore, youre also my senior. I dont dare to have any thoughts of deceiving. Im not Sea of Hades Miejue Toutuo. Im the Shen Lang you had met before previously. Of course, Shen Lang is not my true identity, as well. My true identity is Yang Dingtian, Yang Dingtian from Cloud Heaven City. There was a reason why Yang Dingtian had revealed his true identity. First of all, Yang Dingtian had already revealed his Shen Lang identity. Since he had already disclosed his Shen Lang identity, he might as well reveal everything. Its you? Zhuri Beila commented in disbelief, When did you possess such a remarkable ability? Youre Yang Dingtian? Zhuri Beila had come into contact with Shen Lang twice. During the first contact, he was extremely indifferent and wasnt very delighted at all. The second contact was when he was fighting against the Qin Huaiyu trio. Yang Dingtian wasnt willing to injure him. Therefore, Zhuri Beila became grateful to him for that time. However, he had no idea that this person was actually Yang Dingtian. You heard of my name before? Yang Dingtian inquired in astonishment. Of course. Zhuri Beila replied, I have always wished to get close with humans. Therefore, I had always paid attention to human affairs. Half a year ago, I had heard of your name numerous times. During that time, I was able to determine that your future cultivation would only be preceded by Dongfang Bingling and would be not inferior to Qin Huaiyu and the other youth experts. Subsequently, Zhuri Beila continued, But never have I imagined that you would be even more outstanding than what I had imagined. Regardless was it the means to save a person or your cultivation advancement, it was completely unpredictable. Yang Dingtian replied in embarrassment, I might seem mysterious to others. However, I want to speak the truth before you. Actually, the reason why I was able to save you was not because of any tricks. I dont know any treatment methods at all. Its because I possess a precious elixir that could bring a person back from death. I have obtained it from a secret realm. It was this elixir that had brought you back to life. Zhuri Beila was immediately emotionally moved, How many of those elixirs did you obtain in the secret realm? You have unexpectedly used one of them on me, who is a total stranger to you. That was a true heaven and earth treasure. Yang Dingtian commented, Three of them. I had used the first elixir on an injured old man while I used the second elixir on you. I intend to use the third elixir on my wife. Zhuri Beila gave a deep bow once again after he heard Yang Dingtians words, Theres a total of three precious elixirs. Yet, you had actually used them on strangers. I had never seen someone as noble as you. All along, I wished to get closer with humans. However, I was filled with disappointment after encountering Qin Huaiyu and the others. Now, I have finally met a righteous and noble person. This caused my opinion to return to its past. Yang Dingtian continued, I dont dare to receive such compliments. Xiangxiang Beila is my good friend. Furthermore, as the Half-Human Race that was close to the human, youre of extreme importance to me. I merely did what I was supposed to do. Currently, Xiangxiang Beila could no longer hold herself back as she inquired, Big brother Shen Lang, the way you killed Leiming was truly too mysterious and formidable. What exactly happened? Yang Dingtian replied, Its just a pretentious trick. It would appear that I had indifferently brandished the iron rod. In fact, this iron rod was my treasure sword and was a divine weapon. Furthermore, that brandish of mine was one of the most formidable mystic skills I had learned and was one of the fatal attacks I had used with all my strength. If Leiming had placed all his heart to defending, he wouldnt have died. However, he impatiently let his guard down and started to quarrel with me. Ultimately, I took advantage of it and burnt him alive. Virtuous nephew Yang, did you obtain the Million Spirit Demon Flame? All of a sudden, Zhuri Beila inquired. Originally, Yang Dingtian was supposed to be astonished. However, he didnt express it. Rather, he nodded naturally, Correct. This was completely an accident. The flame that Yan Bieqin had devoured was just a void flame. The true Million Spirit Demon Flame was only born after the Yin Yang Mountain had disappeared. Furthermore, that Million Spirit Demon Flame personally chose its owner. Actually, I was also extremely surprised that I had obtained this Mystic Flame, although I had put in a lot of effort to obtain it as well. This is really the will of heaven. In the future, you will certainly become the strongest person in this world. Zhuri Beila commented, What about Grand Elder Ba Bi? She had died. Her son had died as well. Yang Dingtian explained, However, Im not the one who killed her. I know. Her cultivation was a lot higher than you. She was definitely the cause of her own death. Zhuri Beila continued, Furthermore, the relationship between us is extremely complicated. Also, I wouldnt feel sorry about her death. I also wouldnt want to know how she died. Subsequently, Zhuri Beila stared at Yang Dingtian and spoke, Without a doubt, you will become the leader of humanity in the future or at least one of the leaders. So, what are your thoughts on the Half-Human Race? At this moment, Zhuri Beilas expression was extremely serious. It could be said that this was the question he was most concerned about and was also his biggest dream. He wasnt really interested in being the leader of the Foxman Race. His lifelong dream was to find a way to coexist with humans. S~?a??h the N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Previously he rejected Yang Dingtian coldly when he had represented the Northwest Qin City to negotiate on their alliance. In fact, Zhuri Beila attached great importance over the matters of allying with the humans. Of course, it was of great importance, but he wasnt impatient. Yang Dingtian replied solemnly, My strategic philosophy was extremely clear. A harmony between the Half-Human Race and Human Race. Otherwise, there will be a day where a large-scale battle would take place between the Half-Human Race and the Human Race, and this would bring forth a terrifying result to the whole world. Currently, the leaders of human society, Heaven Dao Union and Evil Dao, are in conflict with each other. Once this conflict is resolved, it would become the Half-Human Race and Human Races turn. This will also become the major conflict in the Primal Chaos World. Furthermore, this conflict would be even more terrifying as the battles would be even more desperate. Immediately, Zhuri Beilas body trembled when he heard this, How can we live in harmony? How can we eliminate the wide gap between the Half-Human Race and Human Race? Interspecies marriage. Yang Dingtian replied, Furthermore, we will have to eliminate all the violent and murderous Half-Human Race. And also return those frantic and barbarous races to their demonic beasts ranking. The humans will choose those Half-Human Race who are intelligent and gentle to intermarry with. After several hundred years or even longer, it will cause the Human Race and the Half-Human Race to live together in harmony. After Yang Dingtian spoke, Zhuri Beilas breathing grew heavy immediately, Good. If sometime in the future, youre to become the leader of Heaven Dao Union, how are you going to handle the internal affairs of the Human Race? Eliminate the Evil Dao, Heaven Dao Union, and the mindset of martial arts means superiority. I will turn the whole world into a country where I will liberate the majority of them and let them learn production and construction. I will get a big majority of them to abandon martial arts as I establish a completely different civilization. Yang Dingtian replied, Of course, this goal is too great and far off. Perhaps, it couldnt be achieved even after several hundred or thousands of years. However, we will need to do this. Otherwise, the whole Primal Chaos Continent would be destroyed. I can faintly sense that the ancient Great Dark Extermination happened because the martial arts had advanced to its pinnacle. The whole Primal Chaos Continent couldnt bear the demand of energy from countless formidable martial artists. Therefore, it caused the Great Dark Extermination to occur. The whole world was turned upside down, and regardless was it the Human Race or the Half-Human Race, they had almost been annihilated. I think that it was a warning given to us from the Primal Chaos Continent. If we arent going to wake up, there will be a day where the Great Dark Extermination will occur once again. And this time, it will be total annihilation. Zhuri Beila was deep in thoughts for a long time after Yang Dingtian had finished narrating. After a long time, he gave Yang Dingtian a deep bow, Now, I understood what a grand ambition is and what is a lofty ambition. Compared to your dream, Qin Wanchou and Patriarch Zhu are just frogs at the bottom of the well. In fact, dozens of years ago, I had already stopped pursuing martial arts. I have wandered around the world and thought of a lot of things. However, I was unable to figure out anything regarding the Great Dark Extermination. This point of yours had given me the light of day within the darkness. It had instantly allowed me to understand many things and suddenly see the light. Subsequently, Zhuri Beila continued, If so, how do you intend to accomplish your dream? Become stronger, and stronger, and stronger... Yang Dingtian replied, Use violence to curb violence. Become an unrivaled sovereign. Be strong to the point that even after Patriarch Zhu, Qin Wanchou, Dugu Xiao, and the others had formed an alliance, they couldnt even be compared to a finger of mine. During then, it would be time for me to carry out my dream. Immediately, Zhuri Beila was deeply shocked once again. After remaining silent for a good while, he replied unhurriedly, Previously, when I heard of Yang Dingtian, I had always thought that your dream was to defeat Dongfang Bingling, kill Patriarch Zhu, revive the Cloud Heaven City and take back your Yin Yang Sect Patriarch position. But now, all of these are just minor aspirations of yours. All of these you spoke of was my dream previously. But after I witnessed the Five Elements Hall Secret Realm and discovered how magnificent the secret realm was, I knew it was something we wouldnt be able to achieve currently. Furthermore, a lot of the profound secret realms were left behind by the ancient civilization. Therefore, I thought that if I had achieved those objectives where I had defeated Dongfang Bingling, killed Patriarch Zhu, took back my Yin Yang Sect Patriarch position, what would I be pursuing next? So what if Im strong? Could I compare with those experts from ancient times? Furthermore, even if Im stronger than those ancient times experts, I still wouldnt be able to stop the Great Dark Extermination from happening. If so, what was the point of me becoming stronger? Yang Dingtian continued, Therefore, after I left the secret realm, I started to have the thoughts of abolishing the martial arts civilization and using violence to curb violence. Of course, all of these would have to wait until I truly become formidable. Otherwise, all of these are just dreams. Zhuri Beila stared at Yang Dingtian for a long time before reaching out his hand, A lot of people laughed at me for being a ridiculous idealist. Now, this ridiculous idealist is willing to form an alliance with you. When youre strong enough, my whole Foxman Race will stand behind your back and become a portion of strength that would help you achieve your ambition. At first, Yang Dingtian was slightly taken aback. Subsequently, he also extended out his hand and shook Zhuri Beilas hand. Zhuri Beila continued, Unfortunately, I can only represent myself and form an alliance with you and not the whole Foxman Race. If you want the whole Foxman Race to form an alliance with you, you will need to reach the Grandmaster class. The Half-Human Race always reveres the strong. I understand. Yang Dingtian replied. Subsequently, Zhuri Beila commented, If so, why did you come to the Foxman Race for? Dont tell me youre here just to save me? Yang Dingtian shook his head, I only learned of your injuries after I have arrived at the Foxman Race. My arrival this time was because I wished for your help. Speak. So long as its within my capabilities. Zhuri Beila commented. Yang Dingtian carried Dongfang Bingling, who was at the side, I want to save this woman. Her cultivation is extremely formidable, and her body is also extremely healthy. But because she had prolonged her cultivation when she was unconscious and didnt manage to wake up in time, it caused her divine senses to come to a stop. Thus, she could no longer wake up. Therefore, I needed someone who possessed an extremely formidable spiritual technique that could awaken the weakest link at the depths of her divine sense. It would completely activate her consciousness and help her awaken. Who is she? Your lover? Xiangxiang Beila inquired hastily even before Zhuri Beila had spoken. The expression within her beautiful eyes also looked somewhat complex. Nope. Strictly speaking, she can be counted as my enemy. Yang Dingtian replied after hesitating for a moment, Actually, shes Dongfang Bingling. Zhuri Beila wasnt really surprised by it after Yang Dingtian mentioned her name. In fact, he had more or less guessed it. Furthermore, he knew that Dongfang Bingling was under the central lake when he was fighting against Qin Huaiyu. Spiritual Master, an extremely formidable Spiritual Master? Zhuri Beila inquired. Yes. Only an extremely formidable Spiritual Master would be able to awaken Dongfang Bingling. Yang Dingtian replied. Theres such a person. Zhuri Beila commented, Hes the Spiritual Leader of the whole East Parting Grassland. He practically possesses a paramount position among all the Half-Human Race. And among the hearts of the majority of the Half-Human Race, he was close to a deity-like person. Chapter 297: Celestial Red Sea, The Edge Of The World! Chapter 297: Celestial Red Sea, The Edge Of The World!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales When you arrived at the Burial Land, did you notice that the weeds were very tall? Those are the blood thorns, and they only grow three inches per year. Currently, they are around a foot tall. In other words, it has already been close to a hundred years since a large-scale battle had taken place in the East Parting Grassland. Over hundreds of years ago, there would be a Half-Human Race war every ten years or so. In these hundred years, the Half-Human Races population had increased close to ten times. And all of this was due to the merit of that Spiritual Master. Why? Because hes very strong? Yang Dingtian inquired. Nope. Its because hes very noble and righteous. Over the hundred years, he was already a god who couldnt be defied in most of the Half-Human Races hearts. He was already a religious totem to countless of Half-Human Races. Zhuri Beila replied. Yang Dingtian was astonished. Unexpectedly, there was such a person in this thousand miles East Parting Grassland. In the human continent, there was such a person who held the same position as him, that was the Sect Patriarch of Hidden Sect. Although he hadnt appeared for the past 200 years, he was still the indisputable leader of humanity. Whats his name? Yang Dingtian inquired. Not sure. But everyone addressed him as Sage. No one has seen his appearance. They dont even know his gender or race. Eight years ago, during the Half-Human Chieftain Conference, I had merely heard his voice. Rather, it couldnt be counted as a voice because what he said resounded within your heart and not the ears. Therefore, his voice sounded like the voice you were thinking of at that moment. Zhuri Beila continued, Therefore, if a person could awaken Dongfang Bingling using the spiritual energy, I believe only the Sage can do it; The Spiritual Master of East Parting Grassland. Instantly, Yang Dingtian felt that this Sage was extremely mysterious and formidable. If so, where is his residence? Yang Dingtian inquired. At the extreme north of East Parting Grassland. The Celestial Red Sea above the Thousand Meter seabed. It is also named as the Dead Sea, and his temple floated above the seawater as it drifted along with the waves. His temple could appear at any location along the Thousand Meter Dead Sea. Furthermore, he might not even be in the temple even after you had located it. Zhuri Beila replied, Countless worshippers had traveled a great distance to the Dead Sea and searched for his trace, and a lot of them had entered his temple. However, they didnt manage to find any traces of him. Therefore, he would only appear when he wishes to. Yang Dingtian inhaled a deep breath of air. This Sage was truly too mysterious. He had no idea what was going to happen if he were to look for him in the Dead Sea. However, this Sage appeared to be the only one who could help Dongfang Bingling. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian recalled his master, Dongfang Niemie. He inquired, If the shattered divine senses are gradually withering away, would he be able to let the divine senses continue living? S?a?ch* Th? Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. This was Yang Dingtians rancor. According to his master, his masters divine consciousness would only be able to live within Yang Dingtians mind for a few years. Previously, after he had been assaulted by the ruthless sword spirit, his time of existence had grown even shorter, and Yang Dingtian didnt wish to let his masters divine consciousness be annihilated. But in fact, recently, the times he had communicated with his master had gotten lesser because every time they communicated, it would consume his masters sparse spiritual energy. I think that hes close to being omnipotent within the spiritual domain. Zhuri Beila replied. I understand. I shall make a journey down to the Dead Sea and search for Sages temple. Yang Dingtian replied with determination. Zhuri Beila continued, I wouldnt stop you if you wish to go over there. However, I would advise you not to have too much hope. Furthermore, hes too mysterious and formidable. After all, he was the Spiritual Master of the Half-Human Race. I can only say this much. Yang Dingtian replied, I understand. Thank you for your advice. Then you can have a rest first. Im going to cultivate my mystic qi and will help you prepare everything you need for the journey to the Dead Sea. Zhuri Beila narrated. Before he left, Xiangxiang Beila spoke out suddenly, Big brother Shen lang, you clearly knew that Ge Lu and Leiming were colluding with each other. Why did you kill Leiming, but let Ge Lu off? She finally couldnt resist the urge to inquire about it. Yang Dingtian commented, Because hes extremely formidable. Before your father had fully recovered, none of us would be his match. Oh, so its like that. Xiangxiang Beila replied. Xiangxiang Beila stayed behind after Zhuri Beila had left. She helped Yang Dingtian tidy his bed and prepared another set of clean clothes for him. She still didnt wish to leave after she had tidied everything as if she wanted to say something but had no idea where to start. All of a sudden, her gaze fell onto the unconscious Dongfang Bingling. When Xiangxiang Beila saw Dongfang Binglings dress had a stain mark, she couldnt help but be startled, She, shes...? Yang Dingtian nodded his head helplessly, Yes. Subsequently, he poured a basin of clean water and was about to help Dongfang Bingling shower and change her clothes. Xiangxiang Beila flushed in shyness, Big brother Shen, do you need my help to help her shower and change her clothes? Im a female and it is more convenient for me to do it. Yang Dingtian shook his head helplessly, Of course, its more convenient for you. But I will still do it. Xiangxiang Beilas face was flushed in redness, Why? Because shes very pretty, and you wish to get close to her? She clearly knew that she shouldnt phrase it this way. However, she couldnt stop herself. Yang Dingtian replied, The reason why I dont want you to do it was because Im afraid that she will come over and kill you after she learns of it when she wakes up. This woman is extremely arrogant. This kind of thing was a massive humiliation to her. Once she learns this, her first thought will be to kill off those who knew and participated in this matter. Oh. Then, you shall do it. Xiangxiang Beila ran out with her reddish face and ears. Hence, Yang Dingtian wiped Dongfang Bingling clean and helped her change into another set of clothing bitterly. He used his mystic qi to dry it after washing the dress. Subsequently, he let her consume a healing elixir before feeding her water. He still needed to use both his hand and massage every inch of her body. Since she couldnt move, Yang Dingtian was afraid that her muscles would shrink. Of course, such a thing would never happen since her mystic qi was extremely strong. However, Yang Dingtian still continued to give her a full body massage every day, just in case. Of course, this matter did not have any relation to taking advantage of her. After the massage, Yang Dingtian placed her on the bed before lying beside her. This wasnt because he wanted to take advantage of her. Rather, it was so that he would be able to protect her immediately if something were to happen. In fact, Yang Dingtian didnt even touch her body during sleep, let alone taking advantage of her. *** On the next morning, Yang Dingtian returned to his high priest Na Lu looks and rode the mount Zhuri Beila had prepared for him as he left the castle and headed towards the Dead Sea. He was going to search for the Spiritual Master of East Parting Grassland, the Sage. Zhuri Beila and Xiangxiang Beila came over to send him off, as they had personally sent him out of the Foxman Race territory. The mount Zhuri Beila gifted him was extremely strong. Its speed was fast, and it was able to travel for thousands of miles without any problem. It was a lot more vigorous than those horses humanity used. Alright. I can only accompany you to this point. Zhuri Beila spoke out. Many thanks for accompanying me to this point. You guys can head back. Yang Dingtian replied, Originally, I shouldnt be saying too much on Yin Tianchongs conspiracy. However, I feel that according to the current situation, its better for you to act as if you knew nothing. Dont get into a conflict with the faction behind Yin Tianchong. Just need to be careful and on guard. Be at ease. I know what to do. Zhuri Beila smiled. Subsequently, he turned around and left while he urged his mount to move. Meanwhile, Xiangxiang Beila didnt leave. Rather, she advanced a few steps and alighted from her mount. Big brother Shen, I have a few sentences I wish to tell you. Xiangxiang Beila waved her hands at Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian had also alighted from his mount. Xiangxiang Beila arrived before Yang Dingtian and spoke, My dad got me to tell you that the fusion of blood between the Half-Human Race and Human Race will start with the both of us. Once you return from the Dead Sea and before you return to the human continent, make a trip to my house regardless of whether you had managed to awaken Dongfang Bingling. After she spoke, Xiangxiang Beila remounted her mount and fled in the other direction quickly as she chased after her father. Yang Dingtian smiled helplessly as he looked at the disappearing Xiangxiang Beilas charming silhouette. Subsequently, he leaped onto his mount and hugged Dongfang Bingling in front of him as he galloped towards the Northern Dead Sea at high speed. *** Subsequently, for the following days, Yang Dingtian would travel for a thousand miles every day. Because of his high priest dressing, he didnt encounter any troubles even though he passed by a lot of Half-Human Races territory as the high priest was equivalent to Sages disciple within the East Parting Grassland. Regardless of the race, no one would dare to offend them. And they would even receive a lot of respect and worshipping from a lot of races. In this journey, Yang Dingtian had deepened his understanding of Sage as he grew more and more shocked over time. This omnipotent Spiritual Master had also become more and more mysterious and formidable in his eyes. Perhaps, the prowess of this Sage had already exceeded every expert of the human continent. He had also understood that this Sage was like a God in this East Parting Grassland. The Celestial Red Sea, or the Dead Sea, was about 8,000 miles away from the Foxman Races territory. Yang Dingtian had spent eight days to complete this 8,000 miles journey. During the eight days, Yang Dingtian would have to wipe Dongfang Bingling clean and change her clothes three times a day. Every day, he would need to feed her an elixir twice, water five times and also give her a massage. It can be said that Yang Dingtian had never once taken care of anyone so attentively. He didnt even do it for Yanyan. Meanwhile, Dongfang Bingling was clearly his enemy. Yet, he needed to take care of her meticulously like an infant. Therefore, Yang Dingtian felt that his fate was playing a trick on him. *** On the ninth day, Yang Dingtian had finally reached his destination, the Celestial Red Sea. Yang Dingtian was shocked when he looked at the scenery before him. Chapter 298: The Lonely Temple! Chapter 298: The Lonely Temple!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales This could no longer be said to be a work of God. Rather, a miracle created by the heavens. Previously, when Yang Dingtian was disguised as Shen Lang to obtain the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map from Qin Wanchou and Qin Huaiyu, he told them about the Celestial Red Sea, and that it was 200 miles in perimeter, but he couldnt be any more wrong. The Celestial Red Sea was around a thousand miles in perimeter. The scene before him was like the edge of the world. Ten thousand meters tall and several thousand miles wide sheer cliffs and steep rocks were like the fence signaling the edge of the world. It gave off an intense feeling like the other side of the ten thousand meters tall cliff was the boundless void. Of course, Yang Dingtian knew that it was the boundless Dead Sea that was behind the cliff. No exquisite area on Earth could be compared to such a sight. And such scenery couldnt even be produced in the movies. Anyone would have the urge to worship after witnessing such a sight. They would feel that they were insignificant. Furthermore, the Sage resided above the ten thousand meters tall cliff. This itself had already shrouded him in a layer of mystery and formidable radiance. It gave off a strong feeling where only a saint would reside. Yang Dingtian alighted from his horse and hugged Dongfang Binglings delicate body. He summoned his Sky Spirit Mystic Wings and flew above the ten thousand meters tall cliff. But immediately after, an unusual event took place. The Sky Spirit Mystic Wings couldnt take flight. Hence, Yang Dingtian used his flight mystic skill. Like before, it was useless. It was impossible to fly here. Therefore, there was only a way for Yang Dingtian to ascend upwards, that was to climb up. He had to climb the ten thousand meters cliff while carrying Dongfang Bingling! *** Yang Dingtian tied Dongfang Bingling on his back and started to climb up the cliff. Another unusual event took place again, where all of his mystic qi energy seemed to have vanished. Originally, it would be an easy task for Yang Dingtian to climb up this ten thousand meters cliff even if he couldnt fly. However, all of his mystic qi had suddenly disappeared. The only thing that Yang Dingtian possessed right now was his robust body that was stronger than the time when he was on Earth. Hence, Yang Dingtian carried Dongfang Bingling and climbed with difficulty while in a bewildered state. The ten thousand meters tall cliff looked extremely magnificent, and it didnt seem like it would collapse easily. Therefore, Yang Dingtian could only take out his youngling sword and Night Owl Strange Blade as he pierced it into the sleek cliff and climbed his way up in a criss-cross manner. Just like that, Yang Dingtian climbed his way up little by little as he used his strength with extreme difficulty. The breeze had already grown very windy after climbing for several kilometers as if it would blow him away at any given moment. Since he had lost his mystic qi, if he were to fall off, he would die a horrible death. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian also discovered that the use of the elixir was useless here as it wouldnt bring forth any recovery. Thus, this ten thousand meters cliff had become extremely challenging and dangerous for Yang Dingtian. Just like that, Yang Dingtian climbed up inches by inches. His strength was being depleted while his clothes torn as he was beset by hunger and cold. Most importantly, there didnt seem to be an end to this cliff. No matter how much he climbed, he couldnt see the end of the cliff. Just like that, Yang Dingtian carried Dongfang Bingling and climbed continuously. Three hours passed by... Five hours... Ten hours... A day... Two days... Three days... On the fourth day, Yang Dingtians body was filled with chaps, and he was exhausted. Regardless it was his physical strength, spirit or willpower, all of them had reached their limits, and he was about to enter a numb state. It seemed like not only his mystic qi cultivation, even his spirit, and willpower had returned back to an ordinary person. S?a?ch* Th? N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Therefore, he was at his limits and could no longer advance even by an inch. Just when Yang Dingtian was about to close his eyes and loosen his grip, he raised his head. The scenery before him was no longer the infinite cliff. He had climbed to the end. He had climbed to the summit. He had finally arrived at the Celestial Red Sea. He had finally reached the residence of the Sage. Immediately, Yang Dingtian was crying in tears of joy. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian raised his eyes and looked at the Dead Sea above the sky. Immediately, he was stupefied. What came into his vision was a vast and boundless ocean. It was limitless and infinite. This was the Celestial Red Sea that was ten thousand meters above the sea level. Previously, Yang Dingtian had passed by several hundred miles of Rapture River when he was heading towards the Temple of Ten Thousand Blood. However, the Dead Sea was different from the Rapture River. Firstly, this Dead Sea was wider and boundless. Secondly, although the Dead Sea was also red in color, the Rapture River water was more of a crimson color as if it were fresh blood that had just flowed out and looked extremely red. Meanwhile, the Dead Sea was of dark red color. A dark red color where it seemed like the blood had flowed out of a corpse of someone who had died a long time ago. Although it was still red in color, it looked extremely dark. Finally, there werent any waves in the Rapture River. However, the water would still move around carefreely. Meanwhile, the water of the Dead Sea was deathly still. There wasnt any wind or waves, and there wasnt any circulation of water. It was as if the seawater werent a liquid but a solidified object. At the end of the Rapture River was the Temple of Ten Thousand Blood. Meanwhile, the strangeness and the scenery of the Dead Sea had greatly exceeded the Rapture River. However, he had no idea where the end of this Dead Sea was at. In short, the region above the Dead Sea was no longer the forbidden area for life only, but it was forbidden for strength and activities as well. It was only after a long time did Yang Dingtian awaken from this strange and spectacular sight after climbing to the summit of the Dead Sea. Subsequently, he started to search for any traces of the temple on the sea surface. However, he was disappointed. He couldnt spot any traces of the temple, and his vision was just filled with boundless red sea. Yang Dingtian tried to circulate his mystic qi. He wanted to use the flight skill and fly so that he could search for the traces of the temple in the air. However, he was disappointed once again. Like before, he was unable to condense any mystic qi, and naturally, he wouldnt be able to utilize his flight technique. Of course, he wouldnt be able to summon his Sky Spirit Mystic Wings either. Yang Dingtian was truly surprised. This location was simply too weird. A moment ago when he was climbing the ten thousand meters cliff, he couldnt condense any mystic qi. After he had climbed to the summit of the Dead Sea, he was still unable to condense any mystic qi. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian was confronted with a selection of choices. He could either jump down the Dead Sea and search for the traces of the temple through swimming or wait for the temple to drift over as he remained here. It would appear that the first choice was a lot more spontaneous. But after pondering it for a moment, he realized that searching for the temple through swimming was even harder than fishing a needle out from the sea because the sage temple was always drifting around. If Yang Dingtian were to rely on swimming and search for the temple, the chances of him missing the temple were practically 100 percent. Although the chances of him encountering the temple as it drifted over were nigh impossible, the probability of this happening was still a lot higher than the first choice. Most importantly, Yang Dingtians physical strength had already reached its limit after climbing the ten thousand meters cliff. It was purely nonsensical for him to swim around the whole Dead Sea while relying on his physical strength. Thus, Yang Dingtian sat down onto the stone wall that was at the edge of the Dead Sea as he let Dongfang Bingling lie on his lap while he waited for the temple to drift over silently. First day... Second day... Third day... Fourth day... Yang Dingtian discovered something strange. After he had arrived at the Dead Sea, not only had his mystic qi disappeared, the elixirs no longer possessed its medical efficacy. Unexpectedly, he had started to grow hungry and weak. Originally, the elixirs inside his spatial ring were filled with miraculous effectiveness. So long as he consumed them, he would be able to maintain his strength for half a month. But now, they no longer possessed any effectiveness; they could no longer replenish his energy. Yang Dingtian had become like an ordinary person as he gradually grew weaker. Fortunately, Yang Dingtian had stored a lot of water in his spatial ring because of Dongfang Bingling. Otherwise, he would really die due to dehydration. However, it was bizarre that these elixirs still hold their effectiveness when consumed by Dongfang Bingling. Like before, the most beautiful woman still consumed an elixir every three days. Her complexion was still ruddy and enchanting, making her look extremely healthy. Of course, she would still drink the water three times a day and urinate three times every day as well. Therefore, Yang Dingtian still took care of her as if he were attending to an infant. However, water was extremely precious now. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian could no longer use his mystic qi to dry her clothes. Thus, Yang Dingtian could no longer allow her to wet herself. After he had grasped onto her physiology pattern, he would have to undress her every day punctually. The treatment of Dongfang Bingling had grown from a one to two years old infant to a two to three years old infant. Of course, all of this wasnt of importance. Most importantly, Yang Dingtian was growing weaker over time. Ultimately, he no longer had the strength to take care of Dongfang Bingling any longer. Time went by day by day. Perhaps, it had been ten days. Or, it could be half a month. In short, a lot of days had gone by. Yang Dingtian had reached his limits. Furthermore, his water supply was about to run out. Once the stored water finished, Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling would die here. Of course, the Dead Sea was filled with water. However, the water was not drinkable. If the sage temple didnt appear after they had fully consumed the water, Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling would inevitably die here. Because if Yang Dingtian were to lose his consciousness, he would no longer be able to feed Dongfang Bingling the elixirs and water. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian no longer had the strength to descend from the ten thousand meters cliff now. Finally, after giving Dongfang Bingling the last drop of water and helping her wipe clean, Yang Dingtian fainted onto the ground and lost his consciousness. Starvation, weakness, and dehydration had knocked him down. Meanwhile, the sky gradually grew dark as it continued to grow darker over time. In fact, Yang Dingtian didnt realize that the sky was always clear during his stay at the Dead Sea. Correct, although he couldnt see the sun, the sky was always clear. Meanwhile, night and daytime still continued below the ten thousand meters cliff. Over here, the sky was always clear. The sky had finally turned dark when Yang Dingtian lost his consciousness. Subsequently... Yang Dingtian fell into a comatose state. The sky had turned dark. Previously, it was extremely bright, and there wasnt any nighttime. But now, it had entered into nighttime and no longer returned to daytime. *** It was unknown as to how much time had passed since he lost his consciousness. Perhaps, he was already dead by now. Yang Dingtian opened his eyes in confusion as if he were dreaming. It was as if he sensed that a lonely temple was drifting over from the sea surface. Although it was night, he was still able to sense the temple floating over. Chapter 299: Dongfang Bingling’s Heart Chapter 299: Dongfang Binglings HeartTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Like before, Yang Dingtian was still unconscious, with both his eyes shut. However, he was able to distinctively feel the arrival of the temple from the sea as it drew closer. Ultimately, the temple came to a stop when it was about ten meters away from Yang Dingtian. The temples door opened slowly as a human silhouette walked out. A radiance was shone upon her on her arrival. Snow-white long dress with long silver hair. The person was emitting a radiance that seemed gentle yet dazzling. Immediately, Yang Dingtian felt his body turning warm. The radiance on that persons body seemed to have torn apart the darkness as it expelled the coldness from Yang Dingtians body. Yang Dingtian was unable to see the face of that person and could only see their body curves. Although Yang Dingtian couldnt see their face, he was able to sense that it ought to be a stunning and elegant look. If there were an angel or a fairy in this world, they ought to look like this woman before him. Yes, that person was indeed a woman. Of course, the fairies or angels shouldnt be young at all. Although they looked young, their face should still contain the signs of aging. Although they were immortals, their age would allow them to grow mature and tolerant. The woman who was walking towards him was like a female angel that was mature, elegant, noble, and gentle. She walked to Yang Dingtians side. She bent down and carried him and Dongfang Bingling up. Her arms were extremely soft as if they were like clouds. Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling seemed very light while she carried them. It was as if they were like the cloud as well. She carried their bodies and walked back into her temple unhurriedly after turning around. Although they were extremely close to each other, Yang Dingtian was still unable to see her face. He was only able to see a pair of beautiful jade feet that wasnt wearing any shoes as it threaded above the dark red sea surface. S?a?ch* Th? N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. *** She carried Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling as she walked into the temple. The temple wasnt very huge but was filled with dozens of extremely large sculptures that looked like the Buddha statue. But after looking at them attentively, they didnt seem to look like the Buddha statue. Several praying mats were also placed at the center of the temple. She placed Yang Dingtian above a praying mat and fed him a pot of water. It didnt seem like it was water. Rather, it somewhat looked like wine because it was warm after it had entered his mouth. Furthermore, it brought along a sweet taste. Yang Dingtians physical strength and consciousness had gradually recovered after he drank a small portion of the liquid. He could finally move his body. Thus, he used his strength to open his eyes. What he saw was exactly what he felt. This woman gave Yang Dingtian a faint smile and spoke, Fortunately, my temple had floated over. Otherwise, I would have sinned once again. The womans voice was extremely gentle, like her appearance. It sounded charming. Youre the Sage? Yang Dingtian inquired. Thats what those people below addressed me as. That woman replied, You can also call me Tan Tai! Yang Dingtian commented, If so, can you help me awaken this woman at my side? Tan Tai inquired, Whats wrong with her? Yang Dingtian narrated, She had sunk into her consciousness for too long and wasnt awakened in time, causing her divine sense to stop working, and she was unable to wake up. However, her body was extremely healthy. Furthermore, she possessed a formidable cultivation. Tan Tai walked towards Dongfang Binglings side. Her beautiful eyes couldnt help but glance towards her skirt as she discovered a patch of moisture on it. Yang Dingtian commented embarrassedly. I had fainted. Therefore, I was unable to take care of her. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian continued, She has been unconscious for more than half a year. Can you still wake her? Let me have a look. Tan Tai replied. After which, she placed her jadeite hand on Dongfang Binglings forehead gently. She closed her eyes unhurriedly as if she were going to interact with Dongfang Binglings spirit. In just a short span of several minutes, Tan Tai opened her beautiful eyes and said, Her divine senses didnt come to a halt. Rather, it had constantly been revolving. However, it was revolving at the depths of her spirit. Yang Dingtian was elated, Then, can you wake her up? Tan Tai answered, Its somewhat troublesome. Although her divine sense didnt come to a halt, it was trapped within an extremely deep dreamland that couldnt be extricated. Although she can feel what was happening in reality, she would still think that it was just a dream. Therefore, she is being confused by dreamland and reality. Furthermore, she is somewhat unwilling to acknowledge what she had experienced recently. Thus, she got even more unwilling to wake up. What? Yang Dingtian was startled, She knew all of the events that happened recently? Tan Tai replied, Of course. It was like a dream; extremely clear and distinctive. Yang Dingtian replied, What is she doing at the depths of the dreamland, then? Tan Tai inquired, What was she doing before she submerged into her consciousness? She was cultivating. Yang Dingtian answered. Tan Tai continued, Then she is also cultivating right now in her dreamland. Furthermore, her advancement is extremely fast. Therefore, she simply did not wish to wake up. What should I do then? Yang Dingtian replied, Your spiritual energy is formidable. Can you enter the depths of her spirit and wake her? Tan Tai commented, I can enter her dreamland but cant wake her. Why? Yang Dingtian was confused. Tan Tai commented, Because she will think that everything she experienced in the dreamland was a reality if I enter into her dreamland using my spiritual energy. No matter what I say, she will think that Im interacting with her in reality. Are you able to understand my explanation? Yang Dingtian nodded, I understand. After your spiritual energy had entered her dreamland, even if you tell her shes stuck in dreamland and ask her to quickly awaken, she would still think that you are lying and harbor malicious motives. Correct. Tan Tai said, This was similar to when a person suddenly tells you that whatever you had experienced for these few years is an illusion. Will you believe it? Yang Dingtian shook his head. Of course, he wouldnt believe it. Right. No one will believe it. Tan Tai replied, Furthermore, the majority of the time, we cant differentiate between dream and reality. Yang Dingtian inquired, Sage, you really have no other way to awaken her? Tan Tai replied, Theoretically, there is one way. What way? Yang Dingtian inquired hurriedly. Enter into her dreamland and stimulate her with those impossible events, causing her to doubt the authenticity of what had happened. This way, she will be able to wake up. Tan Tai replied. What kind of impossible events? Yang Dingtian inquired, For example, a dead person suddenly coming back to life? Or perhaps I defeated her in her dreamland when I was originally just a weakling? Are you her match in reality? Tan Tai inquired. Nope. Yang Dingtian replied. Tan Tai commented, If so, you will never be her match in the dreamland as well because you wouldnt believe how formidable you are as well. As for the events you had just mentioned, a dead person coming back to life and appearing before her, this ought to give her an extremely huge stimulant. However, I couldnt guarantee that it would be enough to wake her up. Yang Dingtian replied, Then what kind of events would be able to stimulate her awakening immediately and let her be aware that all of that was just a dream. Tan Tai replied, Im unable to say what kind of events could achieve it. The best would be those non-existential events happening before her where its totally preposterous and unpragmatic. Yang Dingtian replied, Couldnt we just create an unrealistic event in her dream? Like for example, the fall of two daytime or the annihilation of the world. Tan Tai replied, Then have you experienced the fall of two daytime or the annihilation of the world? Yang Dingtian shook his head, Of course not. Any events or objects you hadnt seen before wouldnt be able to emerge in the dreamland. Tan Tai commented, The human brain is lacking imagination and can only put together people, objects or events that they had experienced before. They cant compose something without foundation. Furthermore, even if youre able to compose the fall of two daytime and world annihilation, she could possibly think of this as reality and might even die from it. If she felt that she had died while she was in the depths of the dreamland, her brain would order her body to go towards a dead mode. After that, she would be truly dead. Yang Dingtian was astonished. Unexpectedly, the consequences were so terrifying. Subsequently, Tan Tai continued, Once you enter her dream, you will also enter a dreaming state. When you are in the dreamland, you wouldnt be bold and imaginative and would not be omnipotent. Your abilities might perhaps become somewhat exaggerated than reality. However, it will never exceed a certain boundary. Its similar to when you couldnt fly but dreamed that you could fly. However, when youre dreaming, you will discover that you are basically unable to struggle free from the gravitational force of the earth, even if you dream of flying. Or perhaps, your flight would be extremely indistinctive because your brain had no memories of you flying. Therefore, it couldnt compose the event in the dream detailedly. Even your abilities would be within a certain boundary. It was especially so for your point of view. All of it would be within the boundaries of reality. Yang Dingtian nodded his head after listening to Tan Tais explanation. There would definitely be a certain boundary of omnipotence. Or it could even be extremely indistinctive. Subsequently, he suddenly recalled something as he inquired hurriedly, Sage Tan Tai, you said that so long as something unpragmatic to this world were to happen before her, it would be able to awaken her. Is that right? Thats right. Tan Tai replied. Immediately, Yang Dingtians heart leaped. This prerequisite might be impossible for anyone in this world. However, it was extremely easy for Yang Dingtian to achieve it. Immediately, Yang Dingtian replied, Sage Tan Tai, I might have a way. Can you let me enter her dream immediately? Tan Tai frowned, You sure you want to enter? Its extremely dangerous. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but inquire, What kind of danger? Tan Tai replied, Because once your spirit enters into the depths of her divine sense, you will remain unconscious forever unless you can awaken her. What? Yang Dingtian cried out immediately. The depths of the divine sense is like an unbreakable prison. Once your spirit enters, your spirit will be trapped in there forever unless she awakens due to the world annihilation where she had to foresee herself. Tan Tai continued, Furthermore, the most dangerous point was that if she were to kill you in her dreamland, both of you would remain unconscious forever. Yang Dingtian almost wanted to cry out again. The consequences were too terrifying. If he couldnt awaken Dongfang Bingling, he would remain unconscious forever as well. If he were to be killed by her, he would remain unconscious forever as well. If so, it wouldnt be any different from being dead. Dongfang Bingling was a person with an unyielding determination. It would be tough for him to convince her. Of course, Yang Dingtian was quite confident in awakening her. It was impossible to compose an event and object that was unrealistic. However, it was indeed extremely easy for Yang Dingtian to achieve this. However, it was difficult to prevent Dongfang Bingling from killing him. Previously, Tan Tai had said that Dongfang Bingling was aware of what had happened in reality. However, she had merely felt that all of these were a dream. However, the scene of Yang Dingtian washing her butt when she urinated herself should have been imprinted in her mind extremely clearly. Dongfang Bingling was extremely proud. Such a scene was a massive humiliation to her. Therefore, she would immediately kill Yang Dingtian due to shame once she saw him. If he werent killed by her in reality, but rather in her dream, he would truly die of persecution. He inhaled a deep breath of air and closed his eyes unhurriedly as he threw away all the distracting thoughts in his mind. Yang Dingtian replied resolutely after opening his eyes again, Sage Tan Tai, I have decided. Im going to enter her dream and awaken her. You sure? Tan Tai inquired. Im sure. Yang Dingtian confirmed resolutely. Alright. Tan Tai replied, Follow me. After she spoke, Tan Tai walked to the back of the temple leisurely while Yang Dingtian followed suit as he carried Dongfang Bingling along. Tan Tai gently pushed open the back door and walked in. Yang Dingtian followed in as well. Inside was a pool. The water was extremely clear like a mirror, and dazzling radiance was being emitted out from the water. Countless light threads within the water were circulating around after Yang Dingtian paid close attention to it. Correct, they were the threads of lights. The threads were as thin as the hair and were only about two to three inches long as the threads roamed around the water. These are the Threads of Destructive Footprints. It is a kind of vital energy and doesnt have its own consciousness. However, it can easily bind a persons spirit and consciousness to another person. Tan Tai explained. Yang Dingtian was astonished immediately. Wasnt this similar to the optical cable used to transmit data on earth? Its just that the optical cable was used to transmit data between computers. Meanwhile, the Threads of Destructive Footprints were used to transmit spiritual information between humans. Tan Tai suddenly inquired, Youre a man, and she is a woman. Are you close to each other? Im not sure. Yang Dingtian replied, Whyre you asking this? Tan Tai explained, Because when you enter the pool, you will need to take off all your clothing. Furthermore, countless Threads of Destructive Footprints would bind your body together tightly. If you arent close with each other, it will create unpleasant consequences. Yang Dingtian immediately replied, We arent close with each other, and we arent lovers. Nominally, we are fiancee and fiance. However, we view each other as enemies in reality. Immediately, Tan Tai gave Yang Dingtian a glance, Understood. Go and take off your clothes. Yang Dingtian gave Tan Tai a slight hesitant glance before taking off all his clothes and revealing his slender and well-built body. Although Tan Tai was a woman, Yang Dingtians attitude was still extremely magnanimous because it was extremely hard for him to think of Tan Tai as an ordinary woman. She had already transcended from being differentiated by gender. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian had also undone Dongfang Binglings clothing. Carry her up and stand at the edge of the pool. Tan Tai replied. Yes. Yang Dingtian carried Dongfang Binglings delicate body and stood at the edge of the pool. He could possibly fall into the pool at any point in time. Because she was residing in her dream and thought of it as reality, there werent any active defenses on her spirit. Later on, she will think that all the scenes playing to her were reality. However, your spirit is currently filled with vigilantism and defensiveness. If you wish to enter into her divine senses successfully, you will have to loosen all your spiritual defensiveness and go into a defenseless state. Tan Tai explained, Of course, you wouldnt be able to achieve this yourself. However, my spiritual energy will destroy all of your defenses and let you be spiritually defenseless against me. I will guarantee not to delve into any of your secrets. However, you need to trust me. If you trust me, I will start my bestowing technique. I trust you. Yang Dingtian replied. At the same time, Yang Dingtian spoke inwardly, Master, defend my divine senses. Dont let any spirit enter. Alright. Dongfang Niemie replied. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian shut his eyes unhurriedly, Sage Tan Tai, you can execute your technique. Alright. Tan Tai advanced for a few steps and stood behind Yang Dingtian. She stretched out her jadeite hand and placed it on Yang Dingtians head. Whoosh... Immediately, a radiance shot out from her jadeite hand and illuminated into Yang Dingtians brain. Instantly, all of Yang Dingtians spiritual defense melted away cleanly like the snow encountering the scorching sun. Meanwhile, Yang Dingtian felt extremely comfortable. All of the pressure, exhaustion, and sorrow had vanished away. His whole body was as light as the feather as if it were about to float up. His whole body and spirit were in a relaxed state, as he was unable to resist the sleepiness. Hence, Yang Dingtian shut his eyes again without any defense as he fell asleep. As he fell asleep, Yang Dingtian hugged onto Dongfang Bingling and fell into the pool. Immediately, countless Threads of Destructive Footprints moved over as they wrapped Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling together tightly. Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling were stuck close to each other like conjoined twins. It was as if every inch of their body were breathing mutually. Although they were bound together tightly, the countless Threads of Destructive Footprints didnt give them any painful feeling. It was as if Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling had intertwined with each other on their own accord. All of the Threads of Destructive Footprints within the water were wrapped around their body. After which, they turned into layers of radiances as they entered into their bodies. Immediately, fascinating radiances were being emitted out from their bodies. Of course, there wasnt any pain or damages because these Threads of Destructive Footprints were vital energies and werent an entity itself. The two intertwined bodies grew brighter and brighter. Bam... It was as if Yang Dingtian had time traveled and reincarnated into the dreamland as the world fluctuated. Yang Dingtian felt that the scenery before him was rapidly changing before it turned into an extremely glaring white light. Whoosh... Yang Dingtian had entered into the depths of Dongfang Binglings divine sense. Chapter 300: Dongfang Bingling’s Love? Chapter 300: Dongfang Binglings Love?Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales The white light gradually turned dim as Yang Dingtian opened his eyes and witnessed the scene before him. Eh? Yang Dingtian issued a voice of doubt immediately. What was going on? Could this be the depths of Dongfang Binglings consciousness? Why was it similar to reality? Yang Dingtian was stupefied because the scene before him was exactly the same as before he entered the dreamland. Dongfang Binglings beautiful face immediately entered his vision the instant he opened his eyes. Both of their faces were extremely close to each other while their nose stuck onto each other. Their lips were also in contact with each other. Not only were their faces stuck close together, but even their bodies were also stuck together like the conjoined twins. Furthermore, both of them were inside the pool as well, and the pool was also flashing in radiance with countless Threads of Destructive Footprints circulating around as they bound both of them together tightly. In addition, countless Threads of Destructive Footprints turned into beams of light as they entered their bodies, causing both of their bodies to grow brighter! The spectacle before him was similar to reality. This could only prove one thing, he failed to enter into the depths of Dongfang Binglings divine sense. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but turn cold as a hint of disappointment bubbled up. Regardless of what the reason was, he had failed to enter into the depths of Dongfang Binglings consciousness. After opening his eyes, Yang Dingtian was still stuck in reality. Immediately, Yang Dingtian turned around and glanced towards Tan Tai, who was ashore. Just when his neck had slightly budged, Dongfang Bingling suddenly opened her beautiful eyes. The pair of beautiful eyes were as bright as the stars and were extremely beautiful. She had actually woken up? The unconscious Dongfang Bingling had actually woken up. What was going on? She had unexpectedly woken up when Yang Dingtian had yet to enter into the depths of her consciousness. But immediately after, Dongfang Bingling opened her mouth and spoke, which caused Yang Dingtian to be completely stunned. Her lips left Yang Dingtians lips as she spoke, Shen Lang, you have awakened? Her voice was still cold like the jadeite. However, there were traces of excitement. Immediately, Yang Dingtian was flabbergasted. What was going on? He had always been awake. Why would she say that Yang Dingtian had awakened? Had I always been unconscious? Yang Dingtian inquired in astonishment. Yea. You had already been in a coma for more than 20 days. Dongfang Bingling replied. More than 20 days? The number of days since Yang Dingtian had awakened in the unfreezing pool till now seemed to be more than 20 days as well. All of a sudden, Yang Dingtian trembled. He understood. Currently, he was in Dongfang Binglings dream. He had successfully entered Dongfang Binglings consciousness. Everything that was happening before him was Dongfang Binglings dream. It was just that Dongfang Binglings dream was exactly the same as reality. The strange thing was Yang Dingtian had always existed in Dongfang Binglings dream. Yang Dingtian didnt reveal the truth and wanted to know what was exactly going on here. He couldnt help but inquire, Whats going on here? Why would I be in a coma? Dongfang Bingling replied, Its all my fault. During then, I had refined all of the Mystic Flame energy to heal my injuries. Therefore, I had submerged into an unconscious state for a month, and you awakened me a month later. However, because the awakening technique was relatively... unusual, you used your finger and stabbed into my Jinmen acupuncture point, which was a vital part of me. I instantly woke up after being stabbed. However, when I awakened from my unconsciousness, some of my memories had yet to return. Thus, I instinctively sensed danger and felt that you sullied me. Therefore, I gave you a palm strike. My memories had returned very quickly before I had struck you. Thus, I retracted the majority of my strength after knowing that youre innocent. However, you still got injured and vomited blood. What happened after that? Yang Dingtian inquired in shock. Dongfang Bingling continued, Subsequently, I used mystic qi to suspend your life forcefully. However, I was still unable to save you. Therefore, I brought the unconscious you and looked for the Foxman Race as I wanted to ask the Foxman Races chieftain Zhuri Beila if theres anyone who could save you. Unexpectedly, during then, Zhuri Beila was also gravely injured and was unconscious. Furthermore, his adoptive son, Leiming, wanted to entrap him. Not only did he want to marry Princess Xiangxiang, but he also wanted to obtain the Foxman Races chieftain position as well. Yang Dingtian was stupefied completely. Never had he imagined that Dongfang Binglings dream was practically the same as reality. However, in reality, it was Yang Dingtian who brought the unconscious Dongfang Bingling to the Foxman Race. However, in Dongfang Binglings dream, it was she who brought the unconscious Yang Dingtian to the Foxman Race. After that? What happened next? Yang Dingtian inquired impatiently. Dongfang Bingling continued, I saved Zhuri Beila and killed Leiming. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but widen his mouth as he muttered inwardly, All of it was done by me. Its me who saved Zhuri Beila and killed Leiming. You, how did you save Zhuri Beila since you arent a Concoction Master? Yang Dingtian asked. Dongfang Bingling spoke, Perhaps, I should thank you. Originally, I would have inevitably died when Ba Bi self-destructed since my qi vessel had cracked. However, you gave me a type of holy water that allowed my body to recover in a short period. Hence, I found the remaining bits of holy water on you and used it to save Zhuri Beila. Yang Dingtian laughed bitterly immediately as he muttered inwardly, What a good Dongfang Bingling, you really know how to dream. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian recalled that he had impersonated high priest Na Lu and saved Zhuri Beila. He immediately inquired, During then, did you use your Dongfang Bingling identity to save Zhuri Beila? That would be extremely dangerous. Of course not. Dongfang Bingling replied, Other than the minority, the remaining Half-Human Race held hostility towards humanity. Therefore, I found a set of high priest gown on your carriage and also did a simple facial change as I impersonated a high priest called Na Lu. Yang Dingtian was speechless immediately. What happened after that? Yang Dingtian asked. After I had awakened Zhuri Beila, I had an in-depth conversation with him. We realized that we have a lot of similar opinions like the alliance with Half-Human Race, intermarriage and etc. Ultimately, it will complete the harmony between the Half-Human Race and humans. Hence, he represented the Foxman Race and formed an alliance with my Yin Yang Sect. Dongfang Bingling continued, However, Princess Xiangxiang Beila seemed to be acquainted with you and was extremely concerned about you. After I revealed my identity, she became somewhat hostile towards me. Furthermore, as a woman, I had impersonated a male and did some blaspheme to her. Although it was to save her and her father, she still grumbled about it. Currently, Yang Dingtian was already rendered speechless. Dongfang Binglings dream was what he experienced in reality. Because Yang Dingtian wasnt assured, he had always brought Dongfang Bingling with him wherever he went. What happened after? How did you bring me here? Yang Dingtian inquired. Dongfang Bingling commented, I asked Zhuri Beila if there was any way to save you that can awaken you and let you recover your mystic qi. He told me a name. What name? Yang Dingtian inquired. Sage. Dongfang Bingling narrated, Hes the spiritual leader of the East Parting Grassland and is the conviction of countless Half-Human Race as he possessed a status that is close to a god. However, Zhuri Beila felt that this Sage is extremely mysterious or could be a dangerous person. Therefore, I hesitated at first, but I still chose to bring you here. S~?a??h the N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian inquired, After that? Dongfang Bingling continued, I brought you along and traveled 1,000 miles per day. Eight days later, we finally reached the location the Sage resides at, the Celestial Red Sea. I carried you and climbed up the ten thousand meters cliff as something strange happened. When I climbed the cliff, my mystic qi had unexpectedly vanished, and I became an ordinary person. At best, I would be somewhat stronger than a commoner. I had spent several days before reaching the summit of the ten thousand meters cliff and arrived at the Red Sea above the sky. What happened next? Yang Dingtian continued. Dongfang Bingling continued, After which, I let you lie on my lap and awaited the Sage temple to float over as I sat at the seaside. Time passed by day by day, and we completely exhausted our water and other supplies. Elixir no longer had their effectiveness here. Thus, I grew weaker and was on the verge of death. I thought that both of us would die in this Celestial Red Sea. And? Yang Dingtian inquired. Dongfang Bingling continued, When I lost my consciousness, a temple drifted over from afar as it grew closer. Subsequently, a near-perfection lady walked out and carried us into the temple. She let me consume a pot of water, which allowed me to gain my consciousness and restore my energy. I asked her if theres any way to save you. She told me about a way, but it was challenging. What way did she use to save me? Yang Dingtian inquired. Dongfang Bingling narrated, After she brought me into the temple, there was a pool, and the water is extremely clear. And there was also a lot of vital energy called the Threads of Destructive Footprints swimming inside. Once we jumped into the pool, these Threads of Destructive Footprints bound us together, which stuck both of our bodies together tightly. After which, I had to use these Threads of Destructive Footprints and enter your body. Itd be able to help you recover, awaken, and restore your energy. However, my vitality would receive huge damages, and my cultivation would drop greatly. Furthermore, there is still a chance of you remaining unconscious. She asked me if I still wanted to save you since the consequences were so severe. Yang Dingtian replied, You actually agreed to invest so much just to save me? Dongfang Bingling replied, During then, I didnt wish to agree to it. However, I have no idea why I would agree to it immediately. I also felt that it was inconceivable after I had agreed to it. Yang Dingtian was truly astonished. Dongfang Bingling was extremely arrogant and selfish. Everyone was like an ant to her. Long ago, when she was fighting against Dugu Fengwu at the Willow Silk Manor, she wouldnt even care about her personal sword servant. It was completely a fantasy for her to sacrifice so much just to save a mans life. However, she had actually agreed to it. Although this was a dream, she still felt that this is reality. The dreamland Dongfang Bingling was also the true Dongfang Bingling. Yang Dingtian was unable to imagine that Dongfang Bingling would sacrifice so much just to save his life. Why? Why would you agree? Yang Dingtian asked, Is it because I had saved you numerous times, gave you the holy water, and also donated one-third of my blood to you beneath the unfreezing pool? Dongfang Bingling shook her head, I also thought it was because of these. However, it wasnt. I think of everyone beneath me. Even if you saved me 100 times or donated all your blood to me, I would still remain unmoved. Perhaps, I might trust a person but would never be moved. Therefore, even if you had saved me 100 times, I would still kill you if there were a need to do so. Her words were extremely ruthless. However, Yang Dingtian strongly believed that Dongfang Bingling was undoubtedly such a person. Of course, Dugu Fengwu was such a person as well, and Dongfang Bingling was even more ruthless than Dugu Fengwu. Then why would you sacrifice so much just to save me? A trace of complex radiance flashed in Dongfang Binglings eyes as she replied, Perhaps, its because I had taken care of you for so many days. For the past 20 days, I had to feed you water and clean every part of your body every day. You used to urinate in your pants three times a day. Every time, I had to clean you up and change another set of clothes for you. Furthermore, I also had to massage all your muscles every day. I took care of you meticulously and had never once taken care of anyone else so meticulously before. Your weakness, shamelessness, and your whole life depended on me. That kind of sense of security had caused my cold and firm heart to gradually soften... Subsequently, Dongfang Bingling shook her head, This kind of feeling is extremely weird. Unexpectedly, I started to be worried, concerned, and feel sorry for you. Im terrified, and Im not accepting of such feelings as I felt my coldness and ruthlessness disappear gradually. At the same time, I had also started to be infatuated and intoxicated by this feeling. Dongfang Bingling stared at Yang Dingtian closely, Shen Lang, do you know that I was never interested in the feelings between a man and woman. I felt that Im not a woman and merely possessed a womans body. However, my heart had already transcended from gender differentiation. Yet, during the times I protected and took care of you, my heart actually went through this kind of terrifying change. I would even dream sometimes, and the dreams were extremely embarrassing too. The dreams only had the two of us. Every time I wake up from the dream, my body would go through unpredictable changes... Yang Dingtian was stupefied as he looked at Dongfang Bingling as his heart trembled. Dongfang Bingling sighed, So, when the woman asked me if I were willing to sacrifice half of my vitality to save you, I still agreed to it even though my rationality told me not to. It was as if an ineffable feeling had already occupied my mind. Do you know why? Yang Dingtian shook his head on instinct. Dongfang Bingling spoke gently, Shen Lang, could this be the love between a man and a woman? I would still be angry and remain ice-cold even if other men were to save me 100 times. However, my heart actually changed after I had taken care of a weak and injured male. Shen Lang, have I fallen in love with you? Chapter 301: Choice? Marriage? Shen Lang, Do You Love Me? Chapter 301: Choice? Marriage? Shen Lang, Do You Love Me?Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Shen Lang, have I fallen in love with you? Dongfang Bingling inquired once again. Yang Dingtian was stupefied and had shaken his head, instinctively, I-I dont know. He truly had no idea. However, he had always felt that Dongfang Bingling would never fall in love with anyone because she would never place any man in her eyes at all. As the No.1 genius in these 400 years, she didnt even place her unrivaled father, Dongfang Niemie, in her eyes at all. As for Zhu Hongxue, she completely looked down on him. This woman was at the extreme end of arrogance and was formidable. Therefore, this kind of woman would practically not fall in love with any man because there wasnt any man that could adore and look up to. However, this sort of woman lacked love. In her dream, she had taken care of Yang Dingtian for almost a month. She had bathed him, gave him a massage, and taken care of him as if he were an infant. When a woman gave birth to a child, they were closer in terms of flesh and blood. But during the process of taking care, the love for her child would drill into the depths of her bone or even exceed their own lives. As such, Dongfang Bingling was also facing this sort of circumstance. Furthermore, she was a woman. During this time, she would often have the closest interaction with Yang Dingtian. Although she didnt mind it, her heart would still inevitably go through some changes. Any irreproachable woman would never be able to remain indifferent while they were interacting with a man intimately. Dongfang Binglings beautiful eyes were fixated on Yang Dingtian as she spoke, Shen Lang, what about you? Do you love me? Why are you asking this? Yang Dingtian inquired. S?a?ch* Th? ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Dongfang Bingling replied, I have thought about our matters for a very long time. I have two choices. The first choice is for us to immediately separate after you wake up so that we can cut off the emotional sentiment between us. Subsequently, we swear to never meet again and treat this as nothing had happened. Yang Dingtian inquired, Whats the second choice? Dongfang Bingling continued, The second choice is that after you have woken up, I will bring you back to Yin Yang Sect and get married. From then on, I will be your wife and you will be my husband. Yang Dingtian trembled, he had never imagined that Dongfang Bingling would speak such a thing. However, immediately after, he remembered that Dongfang Bingling had just spoken of it as a choice. Then which one would you choose? Yang Dingtian inquired. Dongfang Bingling replied, The first option because Im afraid that once I have a husband and emotional sentiment, it would obstruct my dream from being fulfilled. My dream is to become the first Saint in these 400 years. I want to completely break apart something in this world. However, once I get married, I would not be able to focus on my dream, you will become an obstacle for me. To be more precise, my emotions would become an obstacle for me. Yang Dingtian nodded his head. Of course, it wasnt because he agreed on Dongfang Binglings statement. Rather, he believed that Dongfang Bingling was indeed such a person. Dongfang Bingling continued, Therefore, I would always choose the first option. However, a moment ago, I suddenly thought, why must I make such a choice. Even if I grew sentimental and had a husband, Im still able to pursue my dream. Therefore, I chose the second option. Yang Dingtian was dumbfounded! Dongfang Bingling had actually chosen the second option, wouldnt it also mean that she wanted to get married to him? Shen Lang, therefore, I have decided that we can get married if I indeed have fallen in love with you. Of course, if youre worried that this would interfere with your life, we can choose not to announce this to the world. We can find a desolated location to hold the wedding ritual with only the two of us around. Subsequently, we will build a house and take it as our home. Dongfang Bingling continued, After our marriage, we might not necessarily be together, or wouldnt even meet each other once for several years. You can continue to wander around the world while I pursue my dream. Therefore, although were husband and wife, it is very likely that we would never be together. You just want to have a place in your heart to place your hopes. Yang Dingtian spoke out. Correct. Dongfang Bingling replied, All along, I would definitely pick the first option where I would make a clean break with you after you had awakened. However, I discovered that this is actually the most foolish choice and would actually hinder my cultivation. Emotions are like water and could never be blocked or suppressed. It would be better off letting nature take its course and let both of our hearts have a place for the other party. We arent someone from the secular world and wouldnt care about the intimation of each others bodies. Rather, we cared about the entrustment of each others spirits. Immediately, Yang Dingtian had fully understood Dongfang Binglings meaning. Originally, she had no intention to get married. But because she lacked love, she had generated a peculiar feeling towards Yang Dingtian. From the start, she wanted to get rid of any emotional sentiment altogether, and Yang Dingtian even believed that she would definitely hesitate if she were to kill now. So long as she could get rid of the emotional sentiment, Dongfang Bingling would definitely be willing to behead Yang Dingtian. However, just like she had said, feelings couldnt be suppressed or forcefully gotten rid of. On the contrary, this would influence and hinder her cultivation path. Therefore, she might as well let nature take its course and choose to get married to Shen Lang so that her spirit would have a place to return home. Of course, only they would know of this marriage. Both of them would build their own home, but they might never stay there at all. After their marriage, Dongfang Bingling would continue her path of cultivation and might never meet Yang Dingtian again. Of course, if there were a day I truly miss you, I will definitely come over and meet you even if were ten thousand miles away from each other. Dongfang Bingling continued, As for the intercourse between a man and woman, I will try my best to search for a way to not harm my cultivation even if I have to lose my virginity. After that, you can do whatever you want with me, and we could also have sexual intercourse like other couples. We could even give birth to a child after I had broken through to the Saint class. After I have completed all of my dreams, we can be together forever and live an ordinary couples life. Dongfang Bingling narrated. Ultimately, Dongfang Bingling spoke, Now, theres only one last matter remaining. Shen Lang, do you love me? Immediately, Yang Dingtian was rendered speechless. Do you love me, Shen Lang? Dongfang Bingling asked again. I already have a wife, and I truly love her. Yang Dingtian replied. Dongfang Bingling continued, I know, furthermore, that woman is extremely attractive to men. Most importantly, she loves you very much. This kind of love exceeds the feelings I have for you by numerous folds. However, I dont mind. Im going to ask you a question, Shen Lang, do you love me? Yang Dingtian wanted to blurt out his answer without thinking. He wanted to say that he loved Yanyan, who was also Ximen Ningning. As for Dongfang Bingling, he hated her to the very core. If there were a day that he had to choose between saving either Yanyan or Dongfang Bingling, he would choose Yanyan first without the slightest hesitation even if he had to witness Dongfang Bingling dying. However, Yang Dingtian questioned himself in his heart. He was filled with hatred for Dongfang Bingling, a form of ingrained hatred. However, did his heart not throb for her? Or even a throb that was so deep that went down to his bone? Hatred was the opposite side of love. Perhaps, both sides were only separated by a piece of paper. Yang Dingtian couldnt ever forget how emotionally affected he was when he met Dongfang Bingling for the first time. A lot of times, Dongfang Bingling had appeared inside his dream. Shen Lang, do you love me? Dongfang Bingling inquired once again, If you love me, we can get married after we leave this place. Yang Dingtian inhaled a deep breath of air and spoke, Dongfang Bingling, I dare not say I have no feelings for you. Perhaps, I also hold an extremely complex feeling towards you. However, I would never get married to you. Why? Dongfang Bingling asked. Both of us can never be together. Yang Dingtian replied, Even if the sun had collapsed or the moon was destroyed, it is still impossible for both of us to be together. Dongfang Binglings complexion slightly changed when she heard it, Why? You arent Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian was astonished. Dongfang Bingling had actually spoken this sentence so naturally. Previously Yang Dingtian was still somewhat puzzled when he addressed him as Shen Lang. Could Dongfang Bingling not have recognized him? Now, Dongfang Bingling had actually said that he wasnt Yang Dingtian so naturally. Why would you say such a statement? Yang Dingtian replied. Dongfang Bingling commented, Because Yang Dingtian hates me down to the very core as I have trampled over his dignity before. Therefore, when I felt that I might have fallen in love with you, I was extremely afraid of a matter. I was afraid that you might be Yang Dingtian in disguise. Thus, I had tried to uncover your face. There wasnt any mask or makeup. Youre really Shen Lang, and this face is a genuine one. So, you arent Yang Dingtian. During that point in time, I have truly heaved a sigh of relief. Yang Dingtian was astonished when he heard it! Without a doubt, Yang Dingtian was wearing a human skin mask. However, he was inside Dongfang Binglings dream. In the bottom of Dongfang Binglings heart, she didnt wish for Shen Lang to be Yang Dingtian. Therefore, Shen Lang, in her dream, had a real face. Of course, she wouldnt be able to take down his mask because before Yang Dingtian had entered her consciousness, Shen Lang within was constructed by her brain. The reason you arent willing to get married to me is because of your wife? Dongfang Bingling continued, I said before, I totally wouldnt mind it. You can continue to be together with your wife. Its not because of my wife. Yang Dingtian replied, Its merely because both of us cant be together. Dongfang Binglings beautiful eyes turned angry slightly, Strange, you arent Yang Dingtian who hated me down to his bones, and it isnt because of your wife. Furthermore, you also have feelings towards me, why cant both of us get married? You have to give me a reason. Reason. Yang Dingtian shut his eyes unhurriedly. Subsequently, he stared at Dongfang Binglings eyes and said, The reason is that whatever is happening around you is fake. All of this is just a dreamland within the depths of your consciousness. Yang Dingtian continued, The reality is that a month after you had sunk into a coma, I was unable to wake you up in time because I had also lost my consciousness. Half a year had gone by the time I had awoken. During that time, I was unable to wake you even after I had stabbed onto your Jinmen Acupuncture point. The reality is that you have been trapped in the dreamland within the depths of your consciousness. Your spirit consciousness has practically come to a halt. However, youre still alive and breathing. Youre also extremely healthy while your mystic qi grew stronger. However, youre immobilized and unconscious. You are currently in a vegetative state. Every day, I would have to bathe and give you a massage. And the person who took care of you like an infant is me! Everything here is just your dream, Dongfang Bingling! Chapter 302: Dongfang Bingling, I’m Yang Dingtian! Chapter 302: Dongfang Bingling, Im Yang Dingtian!In regards to Yang Dingtians statement, Dongfang Bingling was supposed to feel like a thunderbolt. But after hearing it, she frowned faintly and said, Is it because you were unconscious for too long that your brain isnt sober? Yang Dingtian didnt bother about Dongfang Binglings question and continued saying, Also, I was the one who brought the unconscious you to the Foxman Race to search for a method to wake you up. I was the one who used the holy water to revive Zhuri Beila. I was the one who brought you to the Celestial Red Sea. I was the one who waited at the shore until the temple floated over and waited for Sage Tan Tai. Right now, we are inside this pool, and our bodies are twined together. Countless Threads of Destructive Footprints are wrapping around us, allowing my spirit to enter the depths of your consciousness. Otherwise, how can I wake up inside your dream realm? I entered your dream realm just to wake you. After listening to Yang Dingtians words, Dongfang Binglings absolutely beautiful face revealed a sneer, and she said, Shen Lang, I think your brain is truly muddled. Immediately after, Dongfang Bingling moved away from Yang Dingtians body and immediately climbed onto the pools shore. While she walked away, she said, It is fine if you arent willing to marry me, you dont have to make up ridiculous stories. You have fully recovered now, let us go then. When we get off the Celestial Red Sea, we shall part from each other. After speaking, Dongfang Bingling simply left. Yang Dingtian quickly got out of the pool as he chased after Dongfang Bingling and grabbed her arm and said, Dongfang Bingling, wake up. You are now inside a dream realm. If you dont wake up and leave me, you will never wake up, and I will also be trapped here forever. Let go. Dongfang Bingling said coldly, If you mention that I am in the dream realm again, I will kill you with a single palm strike. Since you think this is the dream realm, you will not die. If you kill me in the dream realm, my spirit will die, and I will also die in real life. Yang Dingtian replied. Is that so? Dongfang Bingling immediately raised her jade palm and said, Since I am the one who rescued your life, I can also take it back. I will leave now, and if you follow or say another word about the dream realm, I swear I will kill you immediately! S?a??h th? N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. She sounded extremely cold, and it was filled with resolution. Yang Dingtian didnt doubt that she would really send a palm strike over if he chased after her. Perhaps she didnt know, the reason she was so angry was mainly that Yang Dingtian rejected her. Dongfang Bingling was the worlds No.1 beauty and the No.1 genius in 400 years. She was the successor of Yin Yang Sect and the future leader of the Heaven Dao Union. A woman like her had offered to marry him but was rejected. Even if she werent willing to admit it, her heart was furious and enraged. After speaking, Dongfang Bingling circulated her mystic qi, and her speed instantly became extremely fast. She vanished from Yang Dingtians eyes just like a shooting star. She wasnt even wearing any clothes and was only carrying her soul sword. She merely wanted to leave this place immediately, making it obvious how complicated she felt. Yang Dingtian chased after her desperately but could not keep up. After all, Dongfang Binglings mystic qi cultivation was far superior to his cultivation. Before this, it was totally impossible to circulate the mystic qi in the Red Sea. It should be the same case even if Dongfang Bingling were in the dream realm. But after leaving the temple, their mystic qi actually recovered. Chasing out of the temple, they arrived above the Red Sea. Dongfang Binglings delicate body was like a shooting star that was vanishing on the horizon of the Red Sea. Afterward, she was about to leap down the 10,000-meter cliff. Yang Dingtians heart was so anxious as it was burning as if this dream realm were exactly the same as the reality. If he allowed Dongfang Bingling to escape, he honestly didnt know where to look for her. Dongfang Bingling had visited plenty of places in life. Therefore, it meant that the world in her dream realm was just as big as the real world. It was simply impossible for Yang Dingtian to find her. If he couldnt find her, the two of them would never wake up for eternity and would die in the depths of the consciousness. Dongfang Bingling, Im Yang Dingtian! Without a choice, Yang Dingtian yelled out loudly at Dongfang Binglings vanishing back view. Even though it was very far away, he believed that she was able to hear his voice. As expected, a few moments later, a figure flew over the 10,000-meter cliff. Immediately after, Dongfang Bingling flew rapidly and arrived in front of Yang Dingtian. She landed and said coldly, Who did you say you are? When speaking, Dongfang Bingling placed her sharp sword at Yang Dingtians neck. Her soul sword contained terrifying chilling intent that instantly permeated into Yang Dingtians body, causing his body to turn icy cold. Im Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian repeated. Can you prove it? Dongfang Bingling asked. Yang Dingtian reached for his face and tore it off to reveal his face. Dongfang Binglings hand shivered while Yang Dingtians neck felt the pain as a wound was opened by the sharp sword. But, shortly afterward, Dongfang Bingling said in a cold voice, I dont believe it. She then walked forward and grabbed Yang Dingtians face to tear off another layer of the mask, revealing Shen Langs face. After revealing the face, Dongfang Binglings face turned extremely cold as she said, To reject me, you actually wore two layers of mask. You are playing with me, I cannot allow you to live. When Dongfang Bingling finished speaking, her beautiful face was filled with a murderous aura, and her delicate body was surging out with extremely powerful energy. Yang Dingtian nearly couldnt breathe. Yang Dingtian let out a bitter smile and tore another mask off, revealing his own face again. Dongfang Bingling was instantly astonished. Can you not see it now? Because this is your dream realm, and we are both spiritual consciousness and arent real bodies. I know in my heart that I am wearing Shen Langs face mask, thats why I can tear it off. But in your heart, you think that Im Shen Lang and Im intentionally wearing two layers of masks, so you were able to tear off one layer of Yang Dingtians face mask. But if this is the reality, can I possibly wear two or three layers of the mask? Instantly, Dongfang Binglings beautiful eyes flickered, and there was a flash of panic. She then said coldly, I dont believe your nonsense. As soon as I kill you, everything will be fine. Dongfang Bingling raised her sword and was about to slash down. At this moment, the murderous intent in her heart had wavered. Yang Dingtian knew that she had already started to suspect that this was a dream realm, but she wasnt willing to admit it. Therefore, she wanted to kill Yang Dingtian and treat it as though nothing had happened. She would then be able to continue staying in the dream realm. Boom... At the same moment, the duos legs shook violently as the entire world started shaking. Do you see? Yang Dingtian said, Because you too started to suspect the authenticity of this world, so everything around us is starting to shake. Also, your heart developed a suspicion for everything and suspected if I were Shen Lang too. Earlier on, you were able to tear off a layer of my face and change me into Shen Lang, but you cant do it now. You can try if you dont believe it. Yang Dingtian grabbed Dongfang Binglings hand and put it on his face to pull down. Dongfang Bingling exerted force but was unable to tear off any mask. Instead, a trail of blood was left on Yang Dingtians face. No, I still dont believe it. Even if you are Yang Dingtian, it cannot prove that I am in a dream realm. Dongfang Bingling said, Even if it is ridiculous to wear three face masks, you might be able to do it. I can prove it to you. Yang Dingtian said. Afterward, Yang Dingtian pointed at the sharp sword that was placed on his neck and said, This Mystic Ice Soul Sword is yours, and it is one of a kind in this world, right? Of course! Dongfang Bingling said. Is there any possibility of a fake? Yang Dingtian asked. Dongfang Bingling said, Absolutely impossible. Every ore is personally excavated by me, and the sword is personally forged by me. I know clearly about every detail in the sword, and it is impossible to make a fake. It is one of a kind in this world. Yang Dingtian said, In reality, after you fell unconscious, I carried you and traveled tens of thousands of miles. Your Mystic Ice Soul Sword has been properly kept with me all this time. It isnt in your hands, but it is with me. Finishing his statement, Yang Dingtian reached for his spatial ring and poured in mystic qi before retrieving a sword. In Dongfang Binglings bewildered eyes, Yang Dingtian took a sword out of nowhere, and it was exactly the same as her Mystic Ice Soul Sword. Impossible! When Yang Dingtian took out the entire sword, Dongfang Binglings trembled and exclaimed with surprise. In an instant, the entire world was shaking violently, and it felt as though it was on the verge of collapse. Immediately after, Dongfang Bingling snatched the Mystic Ice Soul Sword from Yang Dingtian and flung the sheathe away. She was holding onto two Mystic Ice Soul Swords and they were identical. She looked at it carefully and felt it carefully. She looked at every detail on the sword and felt every aura. The two swords were exactly the same! The more she watched, the more her delicate body trembled. Her absolutely beautiful face had turned from a smiling face into a pale face. Her beautiful eyes were trembling with increased intensity. Just as she said, this world couldnt have a second Mystic Ice Soul Sword. But now, she was holding onto two identical Mystic Ice Soul Swords. The sword that Yang Dingtian produced was definitely authentic and there wasnt any possibility for a fake. This was something Dongfang Bingling was very clear about, as she was the one who personally forged every inch of the sword. If the Mystic Ice Soul Sword that Yang Dingtian produced was real, then it had proven something. She was really in a dream realm! Her lips were slightly trembling, while the expressions in her beautiful eyes were constantly changing. Rumble... At the same moment, the world was starting to collapse. The sky was crumbling, and the Red Sea was breaking apart. This world was fake, and it was entirely imagined by Dongfang Bingling. Once she acknowledged that this was the dream realm, this world couldnt exist anymore. Immediately after, the other Mystic Ice Soul Sword had shattered into light and vanished from her hand. Now that she recognized that she was in the dream realm and that the Mystic Ice Soul Sword that Yang Dingtian gave her was real, the sword in her hand didnt exist anymore and turned into ashes. Finally, the entire world collapsed and distorted. Dongfang Bingling, lets get out, it is time for you to truly wake up! Chapter 303: Bingling Awakens, Cardinal Treasure! Chapter 303: Bingling Awakens, Cardinal Treasure!Dongfang Bingling, lets get out, it is time for you to truly wake up! Dongfang Binglings eyes flashed before she fainted. Subsequently, the duos bodies shattered and disintegrated. It felt like the time was revolving as the world transformed. Yang Dingtians divine senses returned to reality. After leaving Dongfang Binglings dream realm for several minutes, Yang Dingtian finally woke up in the real world. He forcefully opened his eyes as his mind was in chaos, as though everything he experienced earlier wasnt clear in his memories. Earlier on, everything in Dongfang Binglings dream realm felt just like a dream. After waking up from the dream, he felt at a loss before some of his thoughts gradually returned to his mind. Yang Dingtian quickly recalled that what happened in Dongfang Binglings dream realm didnt matter. The most crucial matter was whether Dongfang Bingling had woken up. As such, Yang Dingtian shook his head to force himself to wake up. He then quickly turned to look at Dongfang Bingling. Right now, Dongfang Binglings eyes were still shut tightly, and it seemed like she had yet to wake up. The two of them were still tightly wrapped together. Right now, the Threads of Destructive Footprints had vanished entirely, and the radiance around the duo had dissipated as they reverted back to normal. Mm... Right at this moment, Yang Dingtians ears suddenly echoed with a shaking groan. Immediately after, he felt the delicate body in his embrace suddenly turn warm. He lowered his head to see Dongfang Binglings face. Her beautiful face was rosy as expected, and her closed eyes started to move. She was about to wake up. Yang Dingtian tried to desperately get free. If Dongfang Bingling were to see them in this state when she woke up, she would definitely deliver a palm strike to kill him. Her eyelids shivered. It looked as though Dongfang Bingling had been asleep for a long time as she forcefully opened her eyes. Mm... The moment she opened her eyes, she let out another groan. It was an instinctive reaction, and it was simply her subconsciousness. After opening her eyes, her beautiful eyes that were moist and fiery were filled with confusion. But soon enough, her eyes started to focus and a chilling light began to gather. She saw Yang Dingtian clearly and when she lowered her head, she saw the current scene clearly. She struggled vigorously and broke away from Yang Dingtians body. Dongfang Bingling raised her palm and struck at Yang Dingtians chest. *** Shen Lang, how dare you profane me like this? After striking with her palm, Dongfang Bingling yelled out delicately. This palm sent Yang Dingtian two feet back. Thats right, it was merely two feet, and there wasnt any mystic qi. She was back to reality, and in the Red Sea, no one could utilize their mystic qi. What is going on? Where is my mystic qi? Shen Lang, what did you do to me? Dongfang Binglings cold voice was filled with surprise. Yang Dingtian was also very surprised as Dongfang Bingling had been calling him Shen Lang. Even though Yang Dingtian couldnt remember what had happened in her dream realm, he could vaguely remember that he revealed his identity to her and clearly said that he was Yang Dingtian. He didnt expect that Dongfang Bingling would still be calling him Shen Lang after returning to reality. Could it be that she couldnt remember anything in her dream realm? Subsequently, Dongfang Bingling leaped out from the pool and asked, What is this place? Werent we under the central lake? Why are we here? Yang Dingtian went over and pulled Dongfang Bingling while saying, Dont be anxious. I will tell you every detail. You have been unconscious for over half a year, and it was my fault... Immediately after, Yang Dingtian narrated everything to Dongfang Bingling in detail. Including the fact that he had devoured the true Million Spirit Demon Flame and had been unconscious for half a year, therefore, he wasnt able to wake her up in time, causing her spirit to stop and become unconscious. Including the matter of him carrying her to the Foxman Race to search for a method to save her and also everything that happened with the Foxman Race. Including the matter that he carried her up to the Celestial Red Sea and encountered the Sage Tan Tai. Then, they entered the pool and used the Threads of Destructive Footprints to enter the depths of her consciousness and woke her up from the dream realm. He talked for over ten minutes, but regarding Dongfang Binglings embarrassing matters, he didnt say a single word. Finally, Yang Dingtian said, Therefore, when you saw us hugging tightly together, it wasnt because I was profaning you. It was due to the Threads of Destructive Footprints that wrapped us tightly together. I didnt try to take advantage of you intentionally. After speaking, Yang Dingtian felt a little guilty and asked, Do you believe everything I said? It was natural for Yang Dingtian to feel guilty. Even though he didnt intend to profane her, the short moment before Dongfang Bingling woke up, his heart had wavered a little. Dongfang Bingling nodded while her beautiful eyes turned complicated as she turned her delicate body and said, Halfway through your explanation, my memories were roughly back. Back then, I was unconscious, so those experiences felt as though I was dreaming, and it was real. But I wasnt able to remember everything at once. Immediately after, Dongfang Bingling said, Actually there are things you have yet to say. Like how my body acted uncontrollably like a baby and how you took care of me like a baby, and the other things... When Dongfang Bingling said those things, Yang Dingtian blushed and said, I didnt have a choice. Dongfang Bingling sighed and said, It is indeed hard to speak about this, and I feel ashamed too. But I can differentiate what is wrong and what is right. I will not vent my anger on you. S?a??h th? N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Yang Dingtian said, No, it is still my fault. If I woke you up on time, none of those things would have happened, and you wouldnt have to go through such embarrassment and danger. Dongfang Bingling shook her head and said, This is our fate. You have contributed so much for the Mystic Flame and have ultimately obtained what you desired. It is better for you to obtain the Million Spirit Demon Flame than that evil traitor, Qin Huaiyu. Alright, lets not talk about this anymore. Dongfang Bingling got out of the pool and wore her clothes while saying. You and I are both unconstrained people, there isnt a need to be awkward. Shen Lang, you have saved me multiple times and have taken care of me meticulously for nearly one month. I, Dongfang Bingling, will remember it. I shall view you as my only close friend. In the future, if you encounter any trouble, send a letter to the Yin Yang Sect, and I will help you. Yang Dingtian had also gotten out of the pool and wore his clothes before replying, Dongfang Bingling, I entered your dream realm earlier to wake you up. Dont you remember anything that happened there? Dongfang Bingling tried her best to recall before shaking her head and said, I cannot remember it at all, not even a fragment of it. She cannot remember it. Suddenly, Sage Tan Tais voice echoed, That scene happened in the deepest part of her consciousness and it is several times deeper than a dream realm. No one will be able to remember it. Furthermore, her dream realm had already disintegrated, and it is completely gone from her mind. There isnt anything left behind, so she will not remember anything. Oh... Instantly, Yang Dingtian felt extremely complicated, he didnt know if he should be happy or sad. Everything that happened in Dongfang Binglings dream realm was almost entirely recalled by him. Inside that place, Dongfang Bingling knew he was Yang Dingtian. Inside that place, Dongfang Bingling had taken care of him like a baby for a long time. Due to her pity, love had developed, and she fell in love with him. Now that the dream realm had vanished, all those feelings had also vanished. Of course, Dongfang Bingling didnt remember he was Yang Dingtian, which saved him the awkwardness. *** Tan Tai walked over leisurely from the temple while her body was still emitting a faint light. Her face might not be as beautiful as Dongfang Bingling, but her aura had actually overwhelmed Dongfang Bingling. She wasnt flamboyant at all and was very gentle and indifferent. This young lady is finally awake, it is truly gratifying. Tan Tai spoke while facing Dongfang Bingling. Dongfang Bingling took a glance at Tan Tai while her eyes were slightly complicated as she gave an indifferent greeting. Many thanks for your rescue. I am not the one who rescued you, he is the one who rescued you. Tan Tai said, You might not know, when I found the two of you, he was nearly dead. Furthermore, when he entered your divine senses, he had a high probability of dying too. If he couldnt wake you up, he could never wake up himself as well. I dont know what exactly happened between the two of you, I can see that the two of you have a very complicated relationship, but I wish to say that no matter what happens, please cherish this man in front of you. Dongfang Bingling said, You have probably misunderstood, we do not have the relationship of lovers. Tan Tai laughed and said, In any case, remember my words. Dongfang Bingling didnt reply and simply said, If there is nothing else, we shall bid farewell. If you need to do an errand, you can come along too. Tan Tai shook her head and said, Since you are fine, you may leave. Many thanks, farewell. Dongfang Bingling responded before turning around and asked, Shen Lang, are you going to leave with me? Oh, yes! Yang Dingtian replied and walked in front of Tan Tai. He made a deep bow and said, Many thanks, Sage. Farewell. Mister Shen, please wait for a moment. Tan Tai said, I have no intention to probe into your privacy, but I know you have a kind of holy water that can revive the dead, and I really need it. I wonder if I can exchange something for it? Yang Dingtians heart trembled as he said, We owe a great gratitude to you. There is no need for the exchange, I shall just give it to you. How much do you need? A small cup will be fine. Tan Tai responded. Sure! Yang Dingtian took out an elixir and handed it over with both hands and said, The elixir contains the holy water that can revive the dead. I shall give it to Sage Tan Tai. Thank you, Mister Shen. Tan Tai replied and used her delicate hand to receive the elixir. She then turned around and walked towards a small room in the temple while saying, Mister Shen, please wait for a moment, I will give you the exchange item. No need, no need, this is my gift to you. You dont need to give me anything. Yang Dingtian said. Tan Tai smiled and walked into the small room. Soon enough, she walked out with a white jade box and handed it to Yang Dingtian. Sage Tan Tai, I really dont need it. Yang Dingtian refused. We are greatly indebted to you. A small amount of holy water isnt even enough to compensate you. If I am to take your things, Shen Lang will really be ashamed. Okay, then, we will not be exchanging. This is my gift for you. Tan Tai placed the jade box in Yang Dingtians hand, and subsequently, Tan Tais voice echoed in Yang Dingtians mind, This is a section of the purple mystic meridian of the Naga Race, you will need it. The purple mystic meridian of the Naga Race? Yang Dingtians heart jolted. Previously, he had cheated Yin Tianchong, saying that he was Miejue Toutuo from the Sea of Hades, and he was exiled because he obtained a section of the Naga Races mystic meridian. Right now, Tan Tai actually gave him a section of the Naga Race purple mystic meridian. This was a cardinal treasure. Furthermore, to rescue Yang Dingtian back then, the Sea of Hades used a section of the Naga Race red mystic meridian. As a result, Yanyan had to be locked up there to return the debt. Right now, Yang Dingtian could use this higher grade of the Naga Race mystic meridian to exchange for Yanyans freedom. But why would Tan Tai know that Yang Dingtian required a section of the Naga Race mystic meridian? Furthermore, it just happened to be one grade superior to the mystic meridian that the Sea of Hades used on him? Most importantly, Tan Tai actually possessed the Naga Race mystic meridian. Who exactly was she? Perhaps, the request for a cup of holy water was merely an excuse. She wanted to find a reason to give Yang Dingtian the Naga Race mystic meridian. Previously, Yang Dingtian was filled with fear for this mysterious person and felt that she wasnt merely mysterious but also dangerous. Now, she was just like a Bodhisattva and didnt need a reason to save someone in need. Sage Tan Tai, I do require the Naga Race mystic meridians. I shall be shameless and receive it. Yang Dingtian said and kept the jade box. Afterward, when Yang Dingtian was about to leave, he wanted to ask something but hesitated. If you have something you wish to ask, you may do so. Tan Tai said with a face that still had a gentle smile. Sage Tan Tai, who exactly are you? After asking, Yang Dingtian continued to ask, Of course, I know that my question might be unreasonable. You simply have to tell me, are you from the Hidden Sect? After hearing Yang Dingtians question, Dongfang Bingling, who had been avoiding eye contact, couldnt help but turn her delicate body. She looked at Tan Tai and was looking forward to her reply. Could Tan Tai be a member of the Hidden Sect? She did seem like one, be it her mysteriousness or her aura. She had the grace of the Hidden Sect. Chapter 304: Tan Tai’s Secret! Leaving the Red Sea! Chapter 304: Tan Tais Secret! Leaving the Red Sea!Hidden Sect? Im not a member of the Hidden Sect. Tan Tai replied straightforwardly. Then, are you a member of the Shrine of Ten Thousand Extermination? Yang Dingtian continued to ask. Tan Tai shook her head again, I am not a member of the Shrine of Ten Thousand Extermination either. Yang Dingtian was completely confused. Tan Tai was abnormally powerful, so powerful that it was beyond his wildest imagination. In Yang Dingtians opinion, only a member of the Hidden Sect or the Shrine of Ten Thousand Extermination could be so powerful. But Tan Tai actually said she was neither. Then, who are you? Yang Dingtian couldnt help but ask. However, he quickly said, Apologies, my question might have offended you. No. Tan Tai shook her head and said, No question from you will offend me, and I will not be angry, either. Subsequently, Tan Tai smiled at Yang Dingtian and said, In fact, I am no one. I am not from the Hidden Sect or the Shrine of Ten Thousand Extermination, I am not from any faction. But I can also be anyone. If you have to give me an identity, then I will be the protector of the border. Protector of the border? What do you mean? Yang Dingtian asked. What do you feel when you look at the Celestial Red Sea? Tan Tai asked in return. I feel like this is the end of the world. Yang Dingtian said. Thats right, this is the end of the world. The end of the Primal Chaos World. Tan Tai said, My mission is to protect the Celestial Red Sea. My temple is drifting around because I am patrolling. I cannot allow anyone to pass through the Celestial Red Sea... Yang Dingtian asked, What is beyond the end of the world? What is beyond the Celestial Red Sea? Is it another world? No, there is only one world, and that is the Primal Chaos Continent. Tan Tai said, There is nothing beyond the Celestial Red Sea, yet there is also everything. If you wish to know, you will need to pass through the Celestial Red Sea to see for yourself. Yang Dingtian asked, But, all mystic qi would vanish in the Celestial Red Sea, anybody would become extremely weak. Tan Tai said, Thats right, this is the only way to close off this world so that no one can pass through this world. But, once your strength reaches a certain extent, you will be able to pass through. Yang Dingtian asked, How powerful must I be? Enough to suppress the entire Celestial Red Seas energy field. Tan Tai said, Of course, as the protector of the border, if you wish to pass through the Celestial Red Sea, you will have to kill me first. I definitely wont kill you. Yang Dingtian said, You are extremely kind. Tan Tai smiled and asked, Am I very kind in your opinion? Yang Dingtian said, Of course, you are almost a flawless incarnation, a person who is just like an angel. This is just one side of me. Tan Tai said, Right now, my mission is merely to be the protector of the border, and I cannot have any standpoint, I cannot interfere with anything in the Primal Chaos World. Therefore, we are definitely willing to become extremely kind. Whenever someone comes to the Celestial Red Sea, I will be willing to rescue that person and offer my help. Soon enough, I became the Sage of the entire East Parting Grassland, possessing a position that is of a deity. But, once my mission changes, I can immediately turn from being an angel into a devil. This worlds destruction will be opened by this entire Primal Chaos Continent and us and turn into a purgatory. Fresh blood and corpses will fall, and we will be the ones who personally started it. Once this statement was out, Yang Dingtian immediately felt the chills as he looked at Tan Tai with large eyes. You are talking about... the Battle of Extermination. Tan Tai smiled but didnt say anything. Yang Dingtians entire body started to shake and shiver as he could vaguely sense that he had touched this worlds most confidential secret. It might just be a hint, but this worlds most confidential secret was just like a devil that was the size of a mountain, and Yang Dingtian had touched only one piece of scale. The greatest secret of the Battle of Extermination was the location of the Shrine of Ten Thousand Extermination and the Hidden Sect. Where was Evil Daos main camp? Where was the Infernal Sea? If an Evil Dao army that numbered in tens of millions were to directly descend on the Primal Chaos Continent, it would be able to destroy the entire world. Tan Tai said that the Battle of Extermination would be started by the hand of the protector of the border. How many protectors of borders are there in the entire world? Yang Dingtian asked. Eight. Tan Tai answered, There are eight Gates of Hell in this world. The Celestial Red Sea is one of them, and it is also known as the Gate of Northwest. There were eight Gates of Hell. In the previous Battles of Extermination, the Evil Dao army marched in from different directions. The last time, they marched in from the extreme west and nearly exterminated half of the Primal Chaos Continent, killing almost 100 million individuals. Why are you telling me these things? Yang Dingtian couldnt help but ask. Tan Tai smiled and said, Perhaps, I have helped too much, and my heart is developing a feeling that I shouldnt have. I dont wish to see a calamity happening, and I dont wish to see the Primal Chaos Continent flooded in blood. This imminent calamity is different from before. Many will die in this calamity, and the scale of this Battle of Extermination will be extremely big. It might even destroy all of the Primal Chaos Continents civilization. Is it even bigger than the previous Battle of Extermination? Yang Dingtian asked with a trembling voice. Significantly bigger. Tan Tai said, The previous battle merely engulfed 50,000 miles and killed 98 million individuals. Engulfed 50,000 miles? 98 million casualties? This was considered small? This was already beyond any of the world wars on Earth. Right now, Tan Tai actually said that this Battle of Extermination was actually going to be much bigger. Didnt it mean that human factions that spread over 100,000 miles would all perish? Yang Dingtian suddenly recalled something and said, The Maori Barbarian Tribe has vanished entirely. How many of them are there? 53,600,000. Tan Tai said indifferently, The reformed Maori Barbarian Tribe will have the strength of at least a middle-class human martial artist. Yang Dingtian suddenly felt he was suffocating. Tan Tai didnt talk about the location of the Maori Barbarian Tribe, but her intention was already very clear. The last time, the Evil Daos extermination army was merely close to 10 million strong. This time, just the reformed Maori Barbarian Tribe would have 53.6 million. Furthermore, the weakest among them would be comparable to a middle-classed human martial artist. If this army charged into the Primal Chaos Continent, it was impossible to stop it even if all the factions on the continent united. Tan Tai continued to speak, Furthermore, it isnt just the Maori Barbarian Tribe. This calamity is different from the previous few calamities. That was right, it was different. This time, the world might truly be exterminated. For how long? Yang Dingtian asked, How long before that moment arrives? It is unknown. Perhaps five years or eight years. When they are all planted within the humans, it will begin. Tan Tai said, Of course, this calamity has already started as the crucial members within the human civilization have been planted. Crucial members? Yang Dingtian asked, Are they the Temple of Bloods Dugu Xiao, and Joyous Palaces Gudu Wuhuan and the others? Tan Tai shook her head and said, No, they are not the crucial members, it is someone else. In fact, the Temple of Blood and the Joyous Palace cannot be considered part of the Evil Dao. They are merely representatives and cannot be considered as evil. Yang Dingtian was stunned again. Dugu Xiao and Gudu Wuhuan werent considered evil? Then who was considered evil? Subsequently, Yang Dingtian asked again, Have you told this to a lot of people? Only to you. Tan Tai said, The other protectors are all in silence and would only make people vanish completely from this world, taking the role of stone people. Why did you tell me? Yang Dingtian asked. Because you have come from another world. You are the only person who can stop this calamity. Tan Tai said. This answer made Yang Digntian feel as though he couldnt breathe again. The fact that Yang Dingtian came from another world was his greatest secret and only Yanyan knew of it. Right now, Tan Tai had actually pointed out the greatest secret of his life. S~?a??h the n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Alright, I have said everything I had to say. Tan Tai smiled, You should leave. I have put you in an independent spiritual space to converse with you. Your partner should be anxious from the wait. We do not have that kind of relationship. Yang Dingtian said. After replying, he felt that it actually wasnt necessary to explain while Yang Dingtian spoke solemnly, Sage Tan Tai before I leave, do you have anything to tell me? What should I do to prevent my close ones from being destroyed? Yang Dingtian didnt ask to save the city, but merely to rescue his close people. Get stronger, stronger, stronger... Tan Tai said indifferently, Also beware of everyone. Anyone can be the spirit of evil. Many thanks. Farewell. Yang Dingtian bowed down and said. Farewell. Tan Tai said, Perhaps when we meet again, we will be mutually trying to kill one another. Yang Dingtian paused for a moment before he continued walking outside. ... A few minutes later, Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling left the temple. At this moment, the temple had directly floated to the border of the Red Sea and stopped at the shore. Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling simply went onshore. After the duo left, the temple gradually floated back to the Red Sea and was getting further away from Yang Dingtian. The angel-like Tan Tai stood at the entrance of the temple and smiled at Yang Dingtian. When the distance was around 30 meters away from Yang Dingtian, Tan Tai waved her hand. Afterward, there was a flash of radiance while Tan Tai and the temple suddenly vanished from Yang Dingtians eyes. Come, lets go down. Dongfang Bingling said. Immediately after, Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling started to climb down from the 10,000-meter cliff. After climbing for over twenty hours, they finished descending the 10,000 meters cliff and stood back on the soil of the East Parting Grassland. Yang Dingtian had a clear feeling of powerful mystic qi that returned to his body. Beside him, a giant energy field was jolting, and the surrounding plants were shaking while the air trembled. It was undeniable that Dongfang Bingling had recovered her mystic qi. What is your cultivation breakthrough? Yang Dingtian asked. Master. Dongfang Bingling replied. Yang Dingtian was appalled. Dongfang Bingling was only 21 years old and had already broken through to the Master class and became one of the strongest people in this world. Yang Dingtian originally felt that he was already very formidable after breaking through to the 6-star Martial Ancestor class. But as compared to Dongfang Bingling, he was like a tiny light facing the massive sun. He couldnt even see Dongfang Binglings back view. This woman was truly worthy of being the No.1 genius in the four centuries. Dongfang Bingling was looking at the 10,000-meter cliff and the Celestial Red Sea above it. Her eyes were filled with fury and humiliation. Shen Lang, that Tan Tai in the Celestial Red Sea will become my Primal Chaos Worlds disaster. Dongfang Bingling said coldly, In ten years, I will kill her! Yang Dingtian was truly stunned by Dongfang Binglings words. Tan Tai had conversed with Yang Dingtian within the independent spiritual space. Dongfang Bingling never questioned about the mysterious Tan Tai and the Celestial Red Sea. She didnt hear any part of the conversation and didnt know anything. But she was able to find the most accurate answer and gave the most tyrannical answer. Why? Yang Dingtian couldnt help but ask. Because this sea and this sky are blocking my eyes, burying my strength, and trampling on my heart. Dongfang Bingling said in a chilly voice, In ten years, I will kill her. I will rip all the puzzles, and I will destroy this pretentious and deceiving illusion. I will pierce through this worlds ultimate truth. I will definitely achieve what my father couldnt do. Dongfang Niemie had ultimately died in pursuit of this worlds ultimate truth. Dongfang Bingling might say that she didnt have any feelings for her father, but she still wanted to inherit her fathers will. Before this, Yang Dingtian felt that Dongfang Bingling was very selfish and unintelligent. Right now, Yang Dingtian felt she was very smart, but she had placed her intelligence at the most important places, while things that were important to others werent worth mentioning. For a moment, Dongfang Binglings figure suddenly expanded again. This woman might have trampled on my dignity and gave me harm, but this womans willpower is far superior to me, Yang Dingtian. She possessed the most straightforward intelligence, and she was disdained to play with any conspiracy or trickery. Previously, Yang Dingtian felt that Dugu Fengwu and Dongfang Bingling were this generations Peerless Prodigies Duo and were on the same level. But from the looks of it, Dugu Fengwu might be an absolute prodigy, but as compared to Dongfang Bingling, Dugu Fengwu was inferior in every aspect. Perhaps Dongfang Bingling would only be slightly gentle in the deepest part of her dream realm. Hence, she was able to say words like Shen Lang, I fell in love with you. In reality, Dongfang Bingling was still the Nine Heavens Fairy who only looked at Heaven and Earth, and nothing else. Alright, lets go. Dongfang Bingling said, Where is my soul sword? Her soul sword was still within Yang Dingtians spatial ring and originally, Yang Dingtian should have looked for a corner before retrieving the sword from the ring and acted like he buried it somewhere. But after understanding this woman, he simply took it out from his spatial ring. Instantly, there was a strange scene as Yang Dingtian pulled her soul sword out of nowhere. As expected, Dongfang Bingling was merely startled for a moment. She then took the soul sword but didnt ask a single word about Yang Dingtians spatial ring, which was definitely this worlds greatest secret. Are you going to remain in the East Parting Grassland, or are you going to return to the human continent? Dongfang Bingling asked. Im going to return. Yang Dingtian said. Alright, lets return together then. Dongfang Bingling replied and lifted Yang Dingtians body before leaping into the sky. Swish... A set of illusory energy wings extended out. Dongfang Bingling carried Yang Dingtian and flew towards the south. Chapter 305: Meeting Dugu Fengwu and Qin Huaiyu! Chapter 305: Meeting Dugu Fengwu and Qin Huaiyu!Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling flew south like a human and a mount. In the beginning, Dongfang Bingling took Yang Dingtian to fly a few hundred miles with mystic qi. After arriving at a gathering place of the Half-Human Race, the duo got two horses and rode south. Yang Dingtian was still wearing a priests robe and gave Dongfang Bingling a white female priests robe. In East Parting Grassland, walking with a human face will eventually be a little troublesome. Dongfang Bingling, Qin Huaiyu colluded with the Evil Dao to set a trap to kill you, what do you plan to do after you return? Yang Dingtian asked. I will treat it as if nothing happened. Dongfang Bingling said. This answer surprised Yang Dingtian slightly. How could a proud person like Dongfang Bingling tolerate having sand in her eyes? This time, Qin Huaiyu had put up such a huge plot to kill her, the future leader of the Heaven Dao Union. This was a great sin, but Dongfang Bingling said that she would treat it as though nothing had happened. It was truly a little surprising. Moreover, Dongfang Bingling wasnt incapable of punishing the Northwest Qin City. Despite Qin Wanchous overwhelming authority, Dongfang Binglings status was still very high in the Heaven Dao Union, even higher than Qin Wanchou. Although she was not the Yin Yang Sects Patriarch currently, almost everyone regarded her as one. Right now, the only person in the Heaven Dao Union that could check and balance Dongfang Bingling would be Zhu Qingzhu. But Zhu Qingzhu always had a different motive towards Dongfang Bingling. Therefore, the Heaven Dao Union had always been supportive of Dongfang Bingling. The current Dongfang Bingling was reckoned to have the best or the second-best position in the Heaven Dao Union. When Dongfang Bingling went to the Northwest Continent, Qin Wanchou had personally received her at the seaside, and it was a subordinates welcome. As for Qin Huaiyus attitude in front of Dongfang Bingling, he was extremely humble. Who would have thought that the father and son would actually set up such a shocking trap to kill Dongfang Bingling? Dongfang Bingling, who was such an incredible person, was actually saying to treat it as though this matter didnt happen. I am still not a match for Qin Wanchou now. But in a few years, Qin Wanchou will not be a match for me. By then, I will go on and exterminate the entire Northwest Qin Clan. Why do I have to make myself suffer just because of my anger? Dongfang Bingling explained in an indifferent tone. This statement was truly overwhelming with imperious aura, and Yang Dingtian couldnt help but feel convinced. Then what about Yang Dingtian? How are you preparing to deal with him? Yang Dingtian couldnt help but ask. When the question was asked, Dongfang Bingling turned around and stared at Yang Dingtians face. Yang Dingtian, of course, still had the face of Shen Lang. Alright, treat it as I didnt ask. Yang Dingtian said. Him? Wait until he wins the martial competition for the position of Cloud Heaven City Lord. Dongfang Bingling said indifferently, He is rather talented but likes to make things unnecessarily complicated and isnt a serious person. For the martial competition, he is probably going to fail. After hearing Dongfang Binglings evaluation of himself, Yang Dingtian felt embarrassed. Immediately after, Dongfang Bingling frowned and said, The thing for which I look down on him the most is him disguising as the Hidden Sect disciple and using the status to intimidate others. Why? Yang Dingtian asked, He didnt have a choice either, right? Hmph... Dongfang Bingling said, I am not disgusted because he impersonated Wu Ming to obtain the manual with trickery, I am not that pedantic. I am disgusted because of his egoistic manner when impersonating the Hidden Sect disciple, making it look like the Hidden Sect members have a very high status. Everyone should only be themselves, and it isnt necessary to look up to anyone. When this statement was out, Yang Dingtian couldnt help but feel astonished. He didnt think that Dongfang Bingling would be thinking at this angle. Furthermore, from her tone, she didnt seem to have any respect for the Hidden Sect. Dont look at me with such eyes. The Hidden Sect might be the true leader of the Heaven Dao Union, but I have always disliked them. Dongfang Bingling said, I dislike anything that is pretentious and unnecessarily complicated. They should stand in front of everything and control the Heaven Dao Union or go into seclusion completely without getting involved with anything. Right now, they are losing the reins to have better control and hiding while pretending to shun the world, yet they are still holding onto the Heaven Dao Unions highest authority. What does this mean? Are they trying to have the best of both worlds? Yang Dingtian was really rather shocked by those words. Within the Heaven Dao Union, the Hidden Sect was absolutely correct and righteous. They were just like the god, the savior and must not be denied. Right now, Dongfang Bingling didnt just deny them, but she had even criticized them. Yang Dingtian had never heard of anything like this. But, listening to her talk about the Hidden Sect like this, Yang Dingtian actually felt it was rather satisfying. Hidden Sect, hur hur... Dongfang Bingling sneered again. ... Just like that, Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling continued to ride down south. While traveling 8,000 miles in about seven days, there wasnt any particular awkward or chilly situation. Dongfang Bingling seemingly treated Shen Lang as a close friend and wouldnt conceal anything in front of him. The duo was actually having rather deep conversations. In fact, there were many things that the duo had the opinions on. When Yang Dingtian understood Dongfang Bingling better, he found out that she was an extremely prideful idealist. She could find anything worthwhile to her due to her absolute talents and looked down on everyone. But after having proper conversations with her, he realized that she was actually quite a good friend. She didnt think it was worth it to tell any lies and wouldnt pry into any of your secrets. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian was able to trust her character and didnt have to worry about telling her even the most secretive things. She was actually much more magnanimous than most men. Of course, Yang Dingtian didnt forget about his hatred towards her. Especially the crippling of Ximen Wuya back then, it was something that Yang Dingtian must seek revenge for. But this didnt affect Yang Dingtian from admiring and respecting her. Because the people that you admire the most might actually be your enemy. Yang Dingtian owed a great debt to Ximen Wuya. Ximen Wuya might have fallen in Zhu Qingzhus hands, but Dongfang Bingling had to take up huge responsibility too. Back when Yang Dingtian was pursued and humiliated by her, he knew that it was because of his incompetence. But he could never forgive Dongfang Bingling for Ximen Wuyas matter. Dongfang Bingling, I have something to ask you. Yang Dingtian said. What is it? Dongfang Bingling responded. Back then, because you chased after Yang Dingtian with the others, you indirectly caused Ximen Wuya to fall into a crippled state? Yang Dingtian said, Do you know if Ximen Wuya hadnt fallen in his current state, then he would have become the No.1 expert in the world? Dongfang Bingling was immersed in silence and replied after a short moment, I do not put anyone in my eyes. Except for Ximen Wuya. Be it his willpower, magnanimous heart, or methods, he is superior to my father. When speaking until this point, Yang Dingtian finally heard a hint of apology in Dongfang Binglings tone. However, Dongfang Bingling spoke immediately after, But, no one can stop the thing I wish to do, no even Ximen Wuya. Furthermore, for the thing that happened to him, I have yet to see clearly until now. In any case, it isnt that simple. What do you mean? Yang Dingtian asked. In short, I, Dongfang Bingling, have done nothing that I regret. I can die, but I cant regret. Dongfang Bingling spoke firmly. Afterward, the two of them were in silence. Yang Dingtian wasnt happy with Dongfang Binglings final words. Dongfang Bingling didnt bother if Yang Dingtian were happy or not. If Yang Dingtian werent willing to talk, she definitely wouldnt take the initiative to speak with Yang Dingtian either. Just like that, the duo was in utter silence as they traveled for the final day. ... On the seventh day, Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling arrived at the Foxman Races territory. He was preparing to leave the East Parting Grassland with Dongfang Bingling and return to the human continent. But the Foxman Races chieftain Zhuri Beila said Yang Dingtian had to make a trip to the Foxman Race before returning to the human continent, no matter if he was rescued Dongfang Bingling. Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling were currently wearing the priests long robes and had directly entered the Foxman Races territory gate. They were heading straight for Zhuri Beilas castle. Yang Dingtian wasnt preparing to stay and was going to leave after saying goodbye. As soon as he entered the city gates, a group of Foxman Race cavalry came to welcome him. Can I ask if you are Master Na Lu? I am. Yang Dingtian said. Greetings to Master Na Lu. That cavalry leader immediately knelt down. He then stood up and took out a piece of crystal before crushing it. Boom... Instantly, a red light soared a few hundred meters into the sky, just like fireworks. Yang Dingtian was astonished, What is the meaning of this? This is the chieftains order. As soon as you appear, we must use the fastest method to inform him. The cavalry leader replied. What happened? Yang Dingtian asked. Princess Xiangxiang Beila is missing. The cavalry leader explained. Xiangxiang Beila was missing? Yang Dingtian was astonished as he quickened his pace and rushed for Zhuri Beilas castle. The group of cavalry was also following behind closely. Yang Dingtian was traveling at a rapid speed, but when there were still over ten miles from the chieftains castle, he saw Zhuri Beilas figure. The current Zhuri Beila had already recovered to his awe-inspiring self but now had an anxious and worried expression. This person was intelligent and frank; therefore, he didnt really know how to conceal his emotions. Behind him were over a dozen Foxman Races experts. After seeing Yang Dingtian, Zhuri Beilas first statement was, Mister Na Lu, please turn around and leave immediately. Yang Dingtian was astonished as he quickly adjusted his direction and asked, Chieftain, have you located Xiangxiang Beila? We will go and rescue her now. No, not to rescue Xiangxiang Beila. You have to leave now, leave the East Parting Grassland immediately. Zhuri Beila said, My people will escort you. Immediately after, Zhuri Beila saw Dongfang Bingling by Yang Dingtians side and knew that Yang Dingtian had rescued her. He immediately nodded to Dongfang Bingling as a greeting. Dongfang Bingling had also nodded as a response. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but get a shock as he was being asked to leave now instead of rescuing Xiangxiang Beila. He said, Chieftain, if you are not going to rescue Xiangxiang Beila, why do you want me to leave immediately? Zhuri Beila said, They captured Xiangxiang Beila with you as the end objective. They want to kill you and the young lady beside you. Immediately after, Zhuri Beila handed a letter over. S?a??h th? n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. It was a letter from Priest Ge Lu, or otherwise known as Yin Tianchong, Senior Miejue, I truly miss you after our last meeting. Back then, we mentioned that we will meet again at my humble home at the Sun and Moon Lake. Yin Tianchong has been looking forward to your arrival since then. But after waiting for many days, I had yet to see Seniors face, causing my yearning to intensify. It just so happens that Princess Xiangxiang Beila is here as a guest at my humble home. Thus, I am very honored to invite Senior to be my guest. Please bring that unconscious beauty along with you too, perhaps, Yin Tianchong might have a method to rescue her. Yin Tianchong will shower you with the utmost hospitality! After being a guest for a few days, Yin Tianchong will definitely escort Senior and Princess Xiangxiang Beila back. The letters tone was very courteous, but the intention was very simple and straightforward. It meant that Yin Tianchong had captured Princess Xiangxiang Beila and was asking for Yang Dingtian to exchange for Xiangxiang Beila with Dongfang Bingling. After Yang Dingtian finished reading the letter, Zhuri Beila said, It is undeniable that Yin Tianchong and the others have recognized the identities of you and Young Lady Dongfang Bingling. Furthermore, they know that Young Lady Dongfang Bingling is unconscious and wants to kill her. Therefore, they are using Xiangxiang Beila as a hostage. Moreover, they will not let you go either and will definitely do everything to kill the two of you. They are rather influential in the East Parting Grassland and the situation is very urgent. You have to leave now, we will escort you. No, what about Xiangxiang Beila? Yang Dingtian said, I will go with you to the Sun and Moon Lake and rescue Xiangxiang Beila. No, it is the same as walking into the trap. Zhuri Beila said, Yin Tianchong is a Master class expert and his cultivation is superior to me. Dugu Fengwu and Qin Huaiyu might also be there, and there might be other Holy Cult experts. If you go there, it will definitely be a trip of no return. Dugu Fengwu is also there? Qin Huaiyu too? Dongfang Bingling suddenly asked. They should be. Zhuri Beila said, The Evil Dao has already established itself at the East Parting Grassland. Dongfang Binglings eyes turned cold as she said, I was originally planning to treat it as though nothing had happened. But they are actually still in the East Parting Grassland? Lets go to the Sun and Moon Lake to kill Qin Huaiyu and Dugu Fengwu! Finishing her statement, Dongfang Bingling led the way and rushed towards the south. Zhuri Beila quickly chased after Yang Dingtian and said, Mister Shen, you must not go! Yang Dingtian said, We can go. Dongfang Bingling is also a Master class expert, I dont believe that two Master class experts cannot take down the Sun and Moon Lake. Since Qin Huaiyu and Dugu Fengwu had yet to leave, we shall settle all the scores at the same time! After hearing Yang Dingtians response, Zhuri Beila was shocked when he looked at Dongfang Bingling. How old is she? She is actually a Master class expert? 21 years old. Yang Dingtian spoke with a bitter smile. Zhuri Beila was speechless. A 21-year-old Master was truly unprecedented, and perhaps no one would be able to achieve it in the future. At least, it was a record that Yang Dingtian couldnt break. Then, if you wish to defeat her in a martial contest three years later, it will truly be too difficult. Zhuri Beila said. Yes, it is as hard as ascending to the heavens. Yang Dingtian said, Despite the fact, I still have to try. Zhuri Beila said, The two of you are like enemies, and she is actually traveling with you? Yang Dingtian replied, She still doesnt know that I am Yang Dingtian. Perhaps she doesnt even care who I am. As Dongfang Bingling led the way, Yang Dingtian and the group headed for the Sun and Moon Lake, which was a few hundred miles away. Demon Woman Dugu Fengwu, Qin Huaiyu! I am on the way to settle the score! Chapter 306: Enemies From The Past, Saving Xiangxiang Beila! Chapter 306: Enemies From The Past, Saving Xiangxiang Beila!Originally, Zhuri Beila wanted to head over to the Sun and Moon Lake to save Xiangxiang Beila after sending Yang Dingtian out of the East Parting Grassland. Yet, Dongfang Bingling had actually charged out unwaveringly. Without a choice, Zhuri Beila could only bring his men along and charged out as well. Of course, he hoped for Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling to help save Xiangxiang Beila as well. After all, she was his only daughter. ... The Sun and Moon Lake was about 300 miles away from Beautiful Beira, the Foxman Race Capital, and was the common border for both Foxman and Eagleman Race. Merely two hours later, Yang Dingtian, Dongfang Bingling, and the others arrived at the Sun and Moon Lake. The Sun and Moon Lake had a circumference of about four to five miles, and it resided within a valley with high mountains surrounding it, and the entrance of the valley was made up of a narrow split between the cliffs. If they had been the modern-day army, they would have never charged in just like this. Otherwise, with just a few boulders, the whole army would be annihilated if there had been an ambush above the cliffs. However, they were currently in the Primal Chaos Continent, and Yang Dingtian and the others were all experts. Thus, there wasnt any usefulness in ambushing them. After rushing into the valley, they saw the Sun and Moon Lake. This Sun and Moon Lake was extremely clear. Under the ripple from the breezes, the water waved in dazzling light. The mountain top of all hills was also filled with vegetation, making the scenery extremely beautiful. A lake island could be seen at the center of the lake. The island was filled with fresh flowers, and at the center of those fresh flowers was an exquisite wooden house. Currently, zither sounds could be heard reverberating from the wooden house. Perhaps, the person playing the zither could be Yin Tianchong, also known as High Priest Ge Lu. Senior brother Yin Tianchong, I have brought the person you wanted over. Please release Princess Xiangxiang Beila. Yang Dingtian yelled. Originally, he should have been acting polite and said something like he had come forth to pay Yin Tianchong a visit. However, since the other party had seen through his identity, there was no longer any need for him to continue acting. The zither sound immediately came to a stop as Yin Tianchongs voice resonated from the inside. Senior brother Miejue truly keeps his promise. Yin Tianchong clearly knew the so-called Miejue Toutou was an impersonation, but he still addressed Yang Dingtian as senior brother Miejue! Subsequently, he walked out of the wooden house unhurriedly. Currently, he was wearing a silk gown while his long hair draped over his shoulders loosely, causing him to seem like he was filled with simplicity. However, since he had done those things, the so-called immortal disposition was entirely just a pretentious act. Princess Xiangxiang Beila, who was donned in a long cyan skirt, walked out from his back. When she saw Yang Dingtian and Zhuri Beila, her eyes turned elated immediately as her body trembled slightly. Her tears almost flowed out but were suppressed by her very quickly as she gave Yang Dingtian a bow, Greetings, high priest Na Lu and father. Currently, she was a hostage. She had been in fear ever since she got kidnapped. Now that Yang Dingtian and Zhuri Beila had come forward to rescue her, she would naturally be excited about it. However, she suppressed her emotions in order not to cause them to be worried. Now, not only did she not address Yang Dingtian directly, she didnt even call him out as Shen Lang. Rather, she addressed him as high priest Na Lu and this was the identity Yang Dingtian impersonated when he headed over to the Foxman Race to save Zhuri Beila. Sure enough, Xiangxiang Beila was the princess of the Foxman Race and was extremely smart. Even to this point, she was still extremely quick-witted. Yin Tianchongs expression changed slightly when he saw Dongfang Bingling, who was riding on the horse. After which, he smiled, Its truly fortunate to witness Young Lady Dongfang Bingling coming out unscathed. Dongfang Bingling replied coldly, I trust you have been well, Martial Uncle Yin. Yang Dingtian commented, Senior brother Yin, you seemed to miss Young Lady Dongfang and me dearly. Now that both of us have arrived, its about time you release Princess Xiangxiang Beila, right? Of course, of course. Yin Tianchong replied, Although Im fond of Princess Xiangxiang Beilas talents and spiritual qi, I would never forcefully detain a guest since chieftain Zhuri Beila had come personally. Subsequently, Yin Tianchong looked towards Zhuri Beila, Sire chieftain, you can take your precious daughter and leave. Zhuri Beila saluted, Many thanks. May I know if high priest Ge Lu still has any other conditions? Conditions? Of course, there isnt. Yin Tianchong replied, Im merely fond of Princess Xiangxiang Beilas spiritual qi and talent. Therefore, I had invited her over to be my guest for a few days while I taught her the zither arts. Since sire misses his daughter so dearly, I, as a half-teacher of hers, would no longer be an evil man. Therefore, you can take your daughter back now. Zhuri Beila immediately commented, What about high priest Na Lu? Yin Tianchong replied, Senior brother Miejue and Martial Niece Dongfang are the elites of human civilization, and I left human civilization long ago. Im extremely excited now that I have met my fellow countrymen. Of course, I will need to retain the two compatriots as my guest for a few days. If chieftain has nothing to do, you can do as you wish as I have a lot of things I want to chat with these two compatriots about. The meaning behind Yin Tianchongs words was very clear. He only wanted to retain Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling. If Zhuri Beila wished to save Princess Xiangxiang Beila alive, he couldnt meddle into the affairs between him and Yang Dingtian. Im afraid its not... Zhuri Beila continued, Young Lady Dongfang and high priest Na Lu are my races noble guests, and I have yet to receive them properly. Why not let both of them stay within my tribe for a few days before coming over to be your guest? Up to this point, the duos conversation was still filled with fake politeness, and it sounded as if the duo were extremely enthusiastic hosts while they fought over to invite Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling to be their guest. Yin Tianchongs complexion immediately turned cold after hearing Zhuri Beilas words, Sire chieftain, this is a matter between human civilization. You will have to take responsibility for the consequences if you want to forcefully meddle into this. Zhuri Beilas expression turned cold as well, But dont forget, this is my Half-Human Races territory. Yin Tianchong turned around and looked towards Dongfang Bingling. He remained silent for a moment before replying, Young Lady Dongfang, since you arent willing to be my guest, I wouldnt force you either. However, senior brother Miejue had promised me that he would stay over for a few days. His words meant that he could let Dongfang Bingling and Xiangxiang Beila off. He only wanted to kill Yang Dingtian. Yin Tianchong would naturally not let Dongfang Bingling off as their main goal was her. His words were just merely used to drive a wedge between them as well as to probe her. Yang Dingtian narrowed his eyes after hearing Yin Tianchongs condition as he looked over to Dongfang Bingling immediately. Shut up, you degenerate. Dongfang Bingling spoke coldly, Yin Tianchong, fight if you wanna fight. Stop talking rubbish! Yin Tianchongs complexion changed, I have always heard that Fairy Dongfang is extremely arrogant. And its really so after I have witnessed it today. I shall help your elders teach you a lesson. And it just so happens that you can be my Holy Cults stunning puppet with your remarkable beauty! Yin Tianchongs complexion suddenly changed after he spoke as his immortal-like look immediately became sinister and demonic. Kill... Yin Tianchong shouted out suddenly. Ha... All of a sudden, a sharp ear-piercing voice could be heard in the air. Immediately, dozens to hundreds of white and black figures flew out from the surrounding hilltop and held onto a weapon as they charged towards Yang Dingtian and the others. Eagleman Race! Hundreds of Eagleman Race experts had suddenly assaulted over. The Eagleman Race was well-known to be cruel, vicious, and evil. They had a human appearance, eagles body, but with a pair of human legs. With just their fighting abilities alone, the Eagleman Race was extremely valiant. However, this race was ruthless and murderous and had never remained united. Therefore, they had never once become a huge fraction. As a tribe, they had never once gotten the upper hand when they fought against the Foxman Race. But when it came to their strength, the Eagleman Race was extremely strong. Unexpectedly, the fierce Eagleman Race had actually become Yin Tianchongs henchman. Just when everyone was about to start fighting, several shadows shot out from the wooden house. They were three men and a woman. Their whole bodies were enveloped within the black gown. Even their faces were covered by masks. Yang Dingtian was able to tell at first glance that these men and the woman were Yan Bieqin, Qin Huaiyu, Gudu Wuhuan and Dugu Fengwu, respectively. Indeed, the four of them had yet to leave. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian didnt expect that Yan Bieqin would still be together with Qin Huaiyu. Normally, he should have thoroughly offended Dugu Fengwu after he had snatched away the Mirage Void Flame. However, the four of them were truly interesting. One could clearly tell their identities at first glance. Yet, they still wanted to cover up their appearance with a mask. Zhuri Beila yelled, Foxman Race troops, listen up and get ready to fight against Eagleman Race experts. Yes! Those 30 Foxman Race experts yelled in unison. Although these 30 Foxman Race experts couldnt be compared to the Eagleman Race in terms of quantity, their cultivation were all extremely high. Among them, a third of them had a cultivation of Martial Ancestor or above, while the remaining were all high-rank Martial Mystic class experts. S?a??h th? N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. This group alone was the majority of Zhuri Beilas experts, and they were meant to escort Yang Dingtian out of East Parting Grassland. Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh... These 30 Foxman Race experts turned into a series of lights as they charged towards the Eagleman Race in the air. Instantly, the sky was filled with saber lights and sword images as screamed and blood overflowed while the fight was turned into a battlefield! Suddenly, Yin Tianchong pulled out a blood black gold sword and spoke slowly, The four of you, go and kill Zhuri Beila. I will come over and assist you after I have captured Dongfang Bingling. Yes! Immediately, Qin Huaiyu, Yan Bieqin, Dugu Fengwu and Gudu Wuhuan soared and turned into four rays of swift beams as they charged towards Zhuri Beila suddenly. Yin Tianchong floated up like a cloud as he flew towards Dongfang Bingling while he laughed, Fairy Dongfang, the No.1 beauty in the world. This couldnt have been better once youre sent to Young Master as his puppet. After you have become a puppet, you would wish that you were dead as every day would be hell to you. Yin Tianchong had never once placed Dongfang Bingling in his eyes as he spoke. Although Dongfang Bingling was the most outstanding talent in these 400 years, she was still a Martial Supreme only. Meanwhile, Yin Tianchong became a Master class expert a dozen of years ago. He was going to deal with Dongfang Bingling personally because he wanted to capture her without hurting her. From his speech, it seemed that the person behind him had taken a fancy towards Dongfang Binglings beauty. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian awkwardly discovered that he actually didnt have an opponent! Yin Tianchong seemed to have forgotten about him while he arranged the battle. Indeed, Yin Tianchong had seen through Yang Dingtians identity. Thus, he didnt place Yang Dingtian in his eyes at all and didnt bother to arrange an opponent for him. Correct. Yang Dingtian was very important to them in their eyes. However, that was because of his talent and identity. His cultivation was nothing when compared to Qin Huaiyu and Yin Tianchong. So long as they killed Zhuri Beila and Dongfang Bingling, they would be able to kill Yang Dingtian a hundred times just by blowing a mouthful of air! Furthermore, Yin Tianchong was extremely interested in Yang Dingtians treasures that could raise a person from death. If he were to arrange an opponent for Yang Dingtian and if Yang Dingtian were to get killed immediately, it would be extremely unfortunate. Previously, Yang Dingtian was able to kill off Leiming unpredictably. But after he learned of Yang Dingtians identity, they felt that Yang Dingtian had achieved it due to the invulnerable Deep Sea Mystic Clothes and unfathomable medications. As in all due respect, Yang Dingtian had never once fought with Leiming face to face. As for how Leiming had died was due to self-immolation, it was proved that Yang Dingtian had placed some kind of fire attribute acute poison into Leimings body beforehand! Otherwise, how could Leiming have been burnt to death silently, which was something that couldnt even be achieved by Yin Tianchong, who was a Master Class expert? When Yang Dingtian saw all sides started fighting while he remained idle, he looked towards the two Eagleman Race experts who were watching over Princess Xiangxiang Beila at the lake island. Yang Dingtian took out his youngling sword suddenly as he charged towards the island to save Xiangxiang Beila! Unexpectedly, no one stopped Yang Dingtian when they saw him charging towards the island. Even Yin Tianchong had merely shot a glance over with the corner of his eye and no longer paid any attention to it because the two Eagleman Race experts who were watching over Princess Xiangxiang Beila were Martial Ancestor class experts. Big brother Shen, dont come over. Princess Xiangxiang Beila yelled when she saw Yang Dingtian had charged over. She even forgot to address him as high priest Na Lu. One of the Eagleman experts behind Princess Xiangxiang Beila continued to grab onto her while the other smiled disdainfully. He grabbed onto his spear and flew up as he met Yang Dingtian head-on. Human, I heard that your body is filled with nutrients. How about letting me consume your meat? The Eagleman who welcomed Yang Dingtian was a female. Her human face looked pretty and flirtatious but was extremely evil and strange. Thus, making her seem disgusting! Yang Dingtians complexion turned cold immediately as he slashed down with his youngling sword! Haha, human trash that could only use medication actually dared to draw his sword before me... That Eagleman Race female smiled shrewdly as she thrust her spear at Yang Dingtians lower abdomen area. Die... Yang Dingtian yelled as a five feet sword light shot out from his sword! Chapter 307: Demon Woman, Your Opponent Is Me! Chapter 307: Demon Woman, Your Opponent Is Me!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Yang Dingtian yelled as a five feet sword light shot out from his sword suddenly as it slashed over at the Eagleman Race woman. That Eagleman Race expert was startled as she raised her spear and defended! Whoosh... Yang Dingtian slashed down. The Eaglemans spear didnt break apart. Instead, it was disintegrated into fine powders while the Eagleman Race woman expert was severed into half. The other Eagleman Race expert who was on the ground was astonished. He immediately placed his sword on Xiangxiang Beilas neck and wanted to use her life to threaten Yang Dingtian. Throw your weapon over and retreat immediately. Otherwise, I will kill this beauty immediately. The Eagleman Race expert spoke out coldly. Apparently, they also knew that Yang Dingtian possessed a supreme treasure sword. Not only did they want to disarm Yang Dingtian, but they also wanted to steal his treasure sword as well. Yang Dingtian stared at him coldly as he went forward by a step. Dont think that I wouldnt dare to kill her. Currently, her biggest value is her beauty. That Eagleman Race expert smirked as he pressed onto the sword. Immediately, a streak of blood flowed out from Xiangxiang Beilas neck. Subsequently, the Eagleman Race expert stretched out his sinister hand and grabbed onto Xiangxiang Beilas body. At this moment, the Eagleman expert was using her life and purity to provoke Yang Dingtian. He felt that so long as Xiangxiang Beilas life was in his hand, Yang Dingtian wouldnt dare to do anything to him. For the past few days, he could only look and not taste Xiangxiang Beila. He had long been unable to restrain himself. Die... Yang Dingtian spoke coldly. Birth of Heart Devil... Yang Dingtian circulated his mystic qi and Mystic Flame and ignited the Eaglemans qi vessel while he was still dominated by lust. Boom... Immediately, a weird scene appeared once again. A lump of flame burnt through the Eaglemans stomach as the flame bore its way out. That Eagleman looked down and was greatly astonished! Meanwhile, Yang Dingtian slashed his sword down suddenly. The sword light flashed over. It bent suddenly as it circled past Xiangxiang Beila and beheaded that sinister Eagleman immediately! After killing two Eagleman Race experts, Yang Dingtian went forward and supported the falling down Xiangxiang Beila. Mister Shen. Xiangxiang Beila held onto Yang Dingtians waist suddenly and wept, Xiangxiang Beila thought that she would no longer be able to see you. Although she knew that Shen Lang was Yang Dingtian, she still addressed him as Mister Shen or big brother Shen because Yang Dingtian was using his Shen Lang identity when he met her and rescued her for the first time. How are you feeling? Yang Dingtian inquired, Can you stand up? That old thief seemed to have fed me with some kind of drug. All my mystic qi had been restricted. Xiangxiang Beila replied. Yang Dingtian took out some holy water from his spatial ring and fed Xiangxiang Beila, Drink this. Xiangxiang Beila extended her small tongue and rolled it around Yang Dingtians finger without any hesitation as she drank the tiny bit of holy water. Immediately, Yang Dingtian was able to feel the softness and satiny of her tongue while Xiangxiang Beilas face grew red. That old thief didnt do anything to you, right? Yang Dingtian inquired. No. Xiangxiang Beilas face reddened, He wanted to marry me off to the Resemblance Foxman Races Young Master so that he could rope in the whole Foxman Race. The Resemblance Foxman Race could be counted as the Foxman Race. However, they looked more fox-like than humans. However, it was because of this did Xiangxiang Beila manage to protect her purity. Otherwise, Yin Tianchong would have done something to her. In just a few dozen seconds later, a blushing red rose on her cheek. Mister Shen, my mystic qi had recovered. Y-your medical water is truly amazing... Xiangxiang Beila replied. Originally, Yang Dingtian wanted to bring Xiangxiang Beila ashore. However, the battle there was extremely messy, and only this lake island was somewhat safer. Are there any more enemies on this island? Yang Dingtian inquired. Nope. Xiangxiang Beila replied. Stay on this island then. I will go and assist the battle. Later on, I will come and fetch you. Yang Dingtian took out a weapon from his spatial ring and placed it onto Xiangxiang Beilas hand. Sure. Big brother, you dont need to worry about me. Xiangxiang Beila replied. *** Yang Dingtian held onto his youngling sword tightly as he leaped up to the air and spectated the battle. The 30 Foxman Race experts equally matched with the Eagleman Race experts as both sides suffered numerous casualties. Although the 30 Foxman Race experts cultivation was higher, they had very little quantity. Furthermore, the Eagleman Race was born with the ability to fly. Therefore, both sides were equally matched. It could even be said that the Foxman Race side was somewhat more at a disadvantage as, among the 30 Foxman Race experts, 10 of them had fallen while the remaining experts were covered in blood. Meanwhile, Eagleman Race experts had lost half of their numbers. Currently, they were attacking each other in mid-air as the screams would cause one to shiver. What astonished everyone was Dongfang Bingling! Under everyones astonishment, Dongfang Bingling was actually equally matched with Yin Tianchong. Although she was slightly at the losing end, Yin Tianchong was still unable to occupy dominance over her, let alone capturing her alive. Currently, Yin Tianchong no longer held a provoking expression as it was changed into an extremely stern and grave one. Not only Yin Tianchong, even Qin Huaiyu, and the others were completely stupefied. They knew that Dongfang Bingling was very formidable, to the extent that she was even stronger than Dugu Fengwu and Qin Huaiyu. However, she was merely in the Martial Supreme class. Yet unexpectedly, she was equally matched with Yin Tianchong. It was known that Yin Tianchong already became a Master class expert a dozen of years ago. Wouldnt this mean that Dongfang Bingling had already broken through to the Master class? This news was too atrocious as Dongfang Bingling was only 21 years old. However, this caused Qin Huaiyu and the others to become even more resolute in killing Dongfang Bingling regardless of what price they had to pay today. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. Judging from this speed, in ten years, Dongfang Bingling would be unrivaled in the world. When the time would come, it would be the judgment day for Northwest Qin Clan as well as Dugu Fengwus death day! Use all your strength and kill Zhuri Beila before killing Dongfang Bingling! Dugu Fengwu yelled. Immediately, Qin Huaiyu and the other three circulated demonic techniques as they overdraft their cultivation, which harmed their bodies so that they could kill Zhuri Beila forcefully. So long as Zhuri Beila would die, Dongfang Bingling would inevitably die as well. Regardless of how strong she was, she wouldnt be able to defeat a Master and four Martial Supreme. When Yang Dingtian saw Qin Huaiyu and the others bodies had burst out a layer of bloody fog, he knew that this was the Bloody Demonic Mad Dance evil technique used by the Evil Dao. It was able to increase a persons cultivation by multiple folds in a short time. However, only Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan had brought forth the bloody fog. Perhaps, Yan Bieqin had no idea of this technique, and Dugu Fengwu did not use this technique for some reason. Amongst the battle, Yang Dingtian made an even more astonishing discovery. Yan Bieqins cultivation was actually so astonishing! Compared to the days where he was underneath the unfreezing pool, it was like heaven and earth. Originally, his cultivation was extremely far away from Dugu Fengwu. But now, they were equally tied. Although the Mirage Mystic Flame was just a Void Flame, its strength was still extremely formidable. It had actually allowed Yan Bieqins cultivation to soar. Zhuri Beila was in danger! Originally, he would be equally matched against Qin Huaiyu, Gudu Wuhuan, and Dugu Fengwu. With the addition of Yan Bieqin, he had fallen into a disadvantage against the four of them. Now that they had utilized the evil technique, it was only a matter of time before he was met with a disaster. Whoosh... Sure enough, Zhuri Beila stumbled suddenly as Yan Bieqins sword light streaked past him. Immediately, blood spurted out frantically! Qin Huaiyus complexion turned fierce as he was about to behead Zhuri Beila! During this moment, Yang Dingtian charged over suddenly as an eight feet sword light burst out from his sword and slashed at Dugu Fengwu ruthlessly! Dugu Fengwu, your opponent is me! Whoosh... When Dugu Fengwu sensed that she was being attacked from behind, she no longer besieged Zhuri Beila and dodged Yang Dingtians sword light to preserve her life. With one less opponent, Zhuri Beila immediately dodged Qin Huaiyus fatal strike. Dugu Fengwu turned around suddenly and glared at Yang Dingtian coldly, Do you seek death? Yang Dingtian landed onto the ground and pointed his youngling sword at Dugu Fengwu, Demon Woman, your opponent is me! You? Dugu Fengwu replied disdainfully, You dont deserve to be my opponent yet! I wanna try. Yang Dingtian replied coldly. At this moment, Gudu Wuhuan spoke out, Fengwu, kill him, and get it over with! Dugu Fengwus beautiful expression changed as she spoke, You wish to die? Good. I shall help you! She went forward by a few steps after she spoke as she separated herself from the fight with Zhuri Beila and got closer to Yang Dingtian by a bit. Yang Dingtian laughed coldly, Dugu Fengwu, havent you always been straightforward and upright? Why are you wearing a mask now to hide the truth? Dont you feel ashamed? As usual, youre very good with your words. Dugu Fengwu smiled coldly. Subsequently, she took off her mask and revealed a beautiful face that was of a rival to Dongfang Bingling. However, compared to the past, the current Dugu Fengwus complexion was somewhat pale, and her cheek seemed to grow somewhat plump. She raised her sharp sword and pointed her finger at Yang Dingtian. With a flung, the blood dripped onto the sword. This was the first time Yang Dingtian had witnessed her forging the autumn-like young sword soul. s?a??h th? ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. If I cant kill you in a move, I will no longer be Dugu Fengwu! She pointed her sword at Yang Dingtian and spoke disdainfully. Chapter 308: A Sword To Kill Chapter 308: A Sword To KillTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Sword Shadow Rainbow... Dugu Fengwus delicate body rotated in mid-air as her black gown turned red instantly. It was as if her body were being burnt. Immediately, she became extremely enchanting from her original pale face. Whoosh whoosh whoosh... Immediately, the blaze and mystic qi condensed into countless beautiful mirage flowers as they shot towards Yang Dingtian. Momentarily, Yang Dingtians vision was covered with beautiful flower rain. It was extremely spectacular and romantic. However, it was filled with killing intent. Yang Dingtian held onto his sword and circulated his mystic qi. In his qi vessel, the beautiful Mystic Flame had also suddenly sparkled. Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique! The mystic qi that was mixed with Mystic Flame burst out from his body as it turned into countless of the malevolent and terrifying malicious faces. It widened its mouth and engulfed those mirage flowers. It was still the Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique. However, Yang Dingtian had no idea why it would produce such a shocking effect after fusing the mystic flame. The Million Spirit Demon Flame was condensed from the flame energy around ten thousand miles of dry land together with hundreds of millions of grievance spirits. After it had been devoured and refined by Yang Dingtian, those hundred of millions of spirit grievance spirits were actually hidden within the mystic flame. Therefore, when Yang Dingtian circulated the Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique to his best, it produced such a shocking scene. Immediately, countless sinister devil faces opened their bloody mouths and devoured countless sword flowers. Naturally, Yang Dingtian knew that Dugu Fengwus cultivation was certainly not on the same level as Leimings and had greatly surpassed him. His Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique was able to dissolve Leimings mystic skill attack, but it might not be able to dissolve Dugu Fengwus mystic skill. However, from the current situation, he could only risk it all. After countless grievance spirit faces devoured Dugu Fengwus mystic qi sword flower, it started to grow distorted and swell. Boom boom boom... Subsequently, they exploded in mid-air. Yang Dingtians Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique could only dissolve a portion of Dugu Fengwus mystic skill attack. While the remaining mystic qi sword flower bore through Yang Dingtians body suddenly. Whoosh whoosh whoosh... Countless beautiful flowers shot at Yang Dingtians chest sharply. Yang Dingtian picked up his youngling sword and blocked the flowers! Despite so, he was still engulfed by the perilous assault. Pu... Yang Dingtian raised his head and vomited blood. And he was sent flying several hundreds of meters. Yang Dingtians body turned blazing red as if it had been burnt. After being pushed back for hundreds of meters, he did a backflip and landed back onto the ground upright. His blood fog filled the sky while he looked horrific. Big brother... Xiangxiang Beila, who was at the lake island, cried out bleakly as she charged over suddenly. Just when Yang Dingtian was about to fall to the ground ferociously, the Mystic Flame in his qi vessel suddenly combusted. Yang Dingtians almost extinguished vitality instantly returned as the mystic qi in his mystic meridians started to circulate ferociously. Immediately, Yang Dingtian shot out in mid-air and stood upright as he leaped over to Dugu Fengwu. Dugu Fengwu, after not meeting you for half a year, not only did your cultivation not advance, it actually regressed badly. Yang Dingtian spoke coldly while wiping away the blood on the corner of his mouth. Even if it is regressed, I can still kill you easily. Dugu Fengwu smiled coldly, However, you really astonished me. More than half a year ago, you couldnt even block half of my finger. Now, youre actually able to withstand an attack from me without dying. Although youre merely a Martial Ancestor, your fighting power is close to the Martial Supreme class. Sure enough, three days of not seeing you, you would have really surprised me. Yang Dingtian replied, Didnt you say that if you couldnt kill me in a single move, you wouldnt be called Dugu Fengwu? Now, your first attack didnt kill me. What are you going to do next? Of course, Ill continue to kill you. Dugu Fengwu replied, Dugu Fengwu is just a name. I dont mind not being addressed like that. You can call me whatever you want. Demon Woman is truly a demon. Indeed, so shameless. Yang Dingtian commented. The one who is shameless isnt me. Dugu Fengwu commented, Who said that he hated Dongfang Bingling down to his bones. Now, he had actually followed behind her butt shamelessly as he worked like an ox for her? What a joke... Haha... Yang Dingtian wasnt bothered about her mockery and spoke, Dugu Fengu, Demon Woman, originally, I thought that you and Dongfang Bingling were very similar. Now, I realized my mistake. Youre far inferior compared to Dongfang Bingling. Although she was very hateful, she would still maintain her pride. But you, youre willing to be wallowed in the mire with any disgusting scum just to achieve your objective. Everyone says that you and Dongfang Bingling are peerless and arrogant. What a joke! Regardless of talent or character, youre far inferior to her... Sure enough, Dugu Fengwus anger soared after she heard this. The anger within her eyes seemed like it wanted to burn Yang Dingtian into ashes. Previously, I couldnt kill you in a strike. This time, I will definitely slice you bit by bit as I mince your heart and behead you. I would like to see if your Dongfang Bingling would come and save you. Dugu Fengwus beautiful eyes shot out an extraordinary radiance as her beautiful face grew red. She had no idea why she was so angry. Yang Dingtian saw that a layer of red fog had suddenly surged out from her body as her eyes grew more enchanting and terrifying. A moment ago, when she was killing Zhuri Beila, she didnt even use the Evil Daos Bloody Demonic Mad Dance evil technique. Her cultivation had clearly exceeded Yang Dingtian by a lot, yet she still used this evil technique. It could be noticed how angry she was. While reciting the evil technique, she looked towards Dongfang Bingling and smiled coldly, Its not long before your Dongfang Bingling is finished. Correct, she had broken through to the Master class. However, the old freak, Yin Tianchong, is a five star Master. She can no longer hold herself. I believe she will fall into that old freaks evil clutches soon. Be at ease, I will not kill you before her. I will let you witness her begging for death but unable to die as she turns into a beautiful walking corpse while being enjoyed by those devils. Yang Dingtian couldnt help but glance towards Dongfang Binglings direction. Indeed, Dongfang Bingling was currently at a disadvantage. It was like what Dugu Fengwu just said. Although she had broken through to the Master class, she was still merely 21 years old and completely shocked. Ignoring Yang Dingtian, she would most likely be unrivaled in the world in 10 years. But now, she was merely 21 years old, and Yin Tianchong was already over 70 years old. A dozen years ago, he was already a Master class expert. Currently, he was a five-star Master and possessed numerous Evil Daos techniques. After being stuck in a deadlock with him, Dongfang Bingling had fallen into a disadvantage. Furthermore, the situation grew even less assuring. Currently, she and Yin Tianchong were fighting at a thousand meters high altitude. A blue sword light brandished around in the air like lightning while a gray sword light lacerated every inch of the sky like a devil tentacle. The vegetation and water crystal on the ground disintegrated and shook! The stern Yin Tianchong had once again revealed his sinister smile as he constantly ran his vulgar gaze around Dongfang Binglings body while he clicked his tongue. Virtuous Dongfang niece, I will fiddle with every inch of your body. Even after playing a year or two, I will still not get tired of it. Hiss... After Yin Tianchong smiled wickedly, the gray specter suddenly scraped past Dongfang Binglings shoulder. The clothes on her shoulder were immediately turned into powder as an eye-catching blood trace appeared on her white jade shoulder. It was several inches long, reaching to her chest. Of course, her important places were still covered by her clothes. But in the old freak Yin Tianchongs eyes, he was practically about to spout out his flame. Dongfang Binglings body trembled in mid-air as she belched a mouth of blood. Dugu Fengwu smiled coldly when she saw Dongfang Bingling had been injured, You ought to be in extreme pain when you see your dream lover meeting such a miserable end yet you cant do anything about it. You ought to hate yourself for being weak, right? Yang Dingtian glanced at the enchanting Dugu Fengwu and spoke coldly, Dugu Fengwu, the current you is far inferior to a prostitute. Is it? Dugu Fengwu was angered to her limit as she smiled coldly, Very quickly, you will see your dream lover being treated worse than a prostitute! A womans filthiness is determined by her heart and not the body. Yang Dingtian smiled coldly, Im really extremely regretful that I had touched you previously. I had even done those things with you... Yang Dingtians words were extremely ruthless. Ah... Dugu Fengwu screamed out in a fury. Her eyes exuded wisps of blood as she clenched her teeth so tightly that blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth. Yang Dingtian, remember this. I will turn you into a mincemeat today. I will slice off your body piece by piece and let you regret humiliating me. Dugu Fengwu flung her sword after she spoke and continued, I will no longer use any mystic skill and will only use my sword. I will use the most direct way to destroy you from your physical body. Im not in a rush and will cut you piece by piece until Dongfang Bingling meets her end before ending you... At this moment, a lump of blood-red radiance encircled Dugu Fengwus sword. Dugu Fengwu had sacrificed her blood to her sword! Die... Dugu Fengwu yelled. She fused together with her sword and turned into a splendid red beam of light as she charged over to Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian flung out the sword on his hand. Pig Slaying Sword Art, Getting Rid of the Heart and Lungs. And suddenly, it coiled around Dugu Fengwus sword. Yang Dingtians sword technique was unrivaled! He wasnt afraid of anyone when they were about to trade sword moves. Instantly, Dugu Fengwus sword suddenly bore into Yang Dingtians sword net and was trapped instantly. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian flung his sword out without much effort. However, any technique was rendered useless before an absolute strength. Dugu Fengwu, the Demon Woman, used the most direct and violent method to pass through Yang Dingtians sword net as she pierced into Yang Dingtians arm ruthlessly. Immediately, Yang Dingtians arm was in severe pain. A scalding mystic qi came pouring in suddenly as the area around his wound turned scorched black. Dugu Fengwu suddenly raised her sword. Instantly, blood spurted out. After Yang Dingtians arm had been impaled, a four-inch-long wound was uncovered on his arm. His arm was drenched in blood and was extremely shocking. This is just the beginning. The corner of Dugu Fengwus mouth trembled as she spoke coldly while looking at Yang Dingtians wound. Whatever... Yang Dingtian changed his sword to his left hand and spoke, Continue. Sure... Dugu Fengwu slashed over with another sword at lightning speed once again. Once again, Yang Dingtian used all his strength to withstand it. The difference between them was just way too big, regardless of whether it was his speed or mystic qi energy. As before, he was unable to block it. The left hand he was using to hold his sword was impaled as well. Currently, both of Yang Dingtians arms had been impaled. Yang Dingtian, beg for forgiveness.. Dugu Fengwu smiled coldly, Perhaps, I will show you mercy. Continue. Yang Dingtian commented unperturbedly. He moved his sword to his right hand. Have you noticed? Dongfang Bingling is also suffering whatever youre suffering now. The two of you really like to share hardship together. Dugu Fengwu commented, I have impaled both of your arms while Dongfang Binglings arms have been impaled by that old freaks sword. Yang Dingtian lifted up his head and looked at Dongfang Bingling. Indeed, it was as she said. Both of Dongfang Binglings arms had been impaled by the terrifying sword qi. However, it wasnt dripping with blood like Yang Dingtian. There were only two terrifying red marks on her snow-white shoulder, but in fact, her injuries were even worse than Yang Dingtian. At the very least, Dongfang Bingling was no longer able to execute her sword techniques smoothly. Currently, Yang Dingtians side had fallen into a complete disadvantage and was in imminent danger. More than half of the 30 Foxman Races experts had collapsed. Only less than 10 of them were still battling. Furthermore, their bodies were covered in blood and were riddled with injuries. Meanwhile, there were still over 40 of those vicious and malevolent Eagleman Race as they surrounded the Foxman Race expert and carried out the final battle. As for Zhuri Beilas side, although Dugu Fengwu was no longer there, Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan had both used the evil technique. Furthermore, Yan Bieqins cultivation was practically on par with Dugu Fengwu. Therefore, Zhuri Beila was still in a disadvantageous position. As for Dongfang Bingling, she had completely fallen into the most dangerous situation and would be in imminent danger. As for Yang Dingtian, he could be killed at any point in time! Therefore, Yang Dingtians party had completely fallen into the most dangerous phase. They would face a complete wipeout at any point. Subsequently, that old freak Yin is about to stab Dongfang Binglings thigh. Dugu Fengwu commented, Therefore, Im going to stab your thigh as well! Whoosh... Immediately after, the Demon Woman turned into a strange beam of light as she stabbed over at lightning speed. Yang Dingtian raised his sword to withstand it. However, his arm was injured. He was unable to block it completely. Dugu Fengwus sword had suddenly stabbed into his thigh. At the same time, Dongfang Binglings thigh was also impaled by old freak Yin Tianchongs sword qi. Sure enough, whatever Dongfang Bingling experienced, Yang Dingtian would share it as well. Subsequently, its the other thigh. Dugu Fengwu commented. Immediately after, she impaled Yang Dingtians other thigh at lightning speed. Dongfang Binglings other thigh was also impaled by old freak Yin Tianchong. At this moment, Dongfang Binglings limbs were suffering from grave injuries as she was on the verge of collapsing in mid-air. Yin Tianchong stared at Dongfang Bingling with his vulgar gaze, Virtuous Dongfang niece. Its time for the final move. It is also the most crucial move, and the target is your qi vessel. Of course, as everyone knows, the qi vessel is located at your lower abdomen. I will pierce it in my next move. Dongfang Bingling would be completely destroyed once her qi vessel had been pierced through. Dugu Fengwu stared at Yang Dingtian and spoke, Similarly, its also my final sword move, and the target is your qi vessel. I wonder if your Deep Sea Mystic Clothes would be able to protect your qi vessel. Dugu Fengwu thrust her sword at Yang Dingtians qi vessel at lightning speed after she spoke. Immediately, Yang Dingtians lower abdomen was in severe pain, and his qi vessel was turned upside down as it bubbled up frantically. However, Dugu Fengwus sword was being blocked by the Deep Sea Mystic Clothes from the outside. Lets perish together, Dugu Fengwu... Both of Yang Dingtians eyes turned extremely red and turned bloodshot! Whoosh... A lump of raging fire combusted from his body suddenly. Yang Dingtian had ignited the Mystic Flame in his qi vessel completely as he burnt all the mystic qi in his body. His whole body, along with the sword on his hand, was turned into raging flames. The Mystic Flame energy had completely enveloped his whole body. Dugu Fengu was unable to pierce into Yang Dingtians qi vessel with her sword. She retreated dozens of meters at lightning speed as she looked at the combusting Yang Dingtian, Doing something unnecessary. All tricks are rendered useless before absolute strength. Even so, I would like to take one last gamble. Yang Dingtian commented. Whoosh... Subsequently, Yang Dingtians body started to rotate as he charged at Dugu Fengwu like an artillery shell. His speed was extremely quick, and the aura was extremely astonishing. s?a??h th? Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Currently, Yang Dingtian was like a combusting enormous sword. Everywhere he passed through was charred. Dugu Fengu stood on the ground motionlessly and stared at Yang Dingtian coldly as she seemed unconcerned about it. Hu... A lump of blood-red fog emerged once again as it enveloped Dugu Fengwu within. This was the Blood Sacrifice Light Shield! It defended against all the attacks that were lower than the casters energy. Therefore, Yang Dingtians fatal move was completely a useless struggle before her eyes. Yang Dingtian, Im giving you one last chance. Prostrate yourself before me... Dugu Fengwu commented coldly. Dream on... Yang Dingtian yelled. Yang Dingtians enormous sword thrust at Dugu Fengwus chest suddenly. What blocked him was the Blood Sacrifice Light Shield while Yang Dingtians sword thrust forward in extreme difficulty. That light shield devoured the energy on Yang Dingtians sword rapidly. Immediately, the flame on Yang Dingtians body grew smaller over time. Dugu Fengwu looked at the enormous incoming sword and smiled disdainfully. She flung her jade arm and was about to send Yang Dingtian flying out. However, the situation suddenly changed. Her Blood Sacrifice Light Shield had vanished into a puff of smoke suddenly without any reason. Immediately, Yang Dingtians sword no longer faced any obstruction as it thrust forward. After the light shield had dissipated, Yang Dingtian saw Dugu Fengwus soft chest before him. There was also her terrified and trembling expression as well as her extremely complex gaze. Immediately, Dugu Fengwu and Yang Dingtians past interactions flashed past his mind vividly. Yang Dingtian learned the sword moves from her and helped her to treat her injuries. Such a gorgeous, speechless, and joyful scene. The ending was condensed with the close intimation between Dugu Fengwu and him. It was a scene without any distance between each other. This woman and Yang Dingtian had the most intimate relationship. There was also a deep entanglement between them. Previously, Yang Dingtian had saved her life numerous times. Immediately, Yang Dingtians sword power slowed down. At this moment, Gudu Wuhuan had also discovered the situation happening here. He yelled out in alarm, Shen Lang, back off. I can let you off. Dont kill her! He looked back at Dugu Fengwus pale face. Like before, it was filled with stubbornness. Ultimately, the scene where Dugu Fengwu was about to strike his chest and kill him after they had that intimate action together emerged in Yang Dingtians mind. Yang Dingtian narrowed his eyes and clenched his teeth suddenly. Dugu Fengwu, after you killed me that day, I swore that I will never show mercy towards you the next time I encounter you! Yang Dingtian thrust his sword out suddenly after he spoke. Whoosh... Under her terrified gaze, Yang Dingtians enormous sword pierced into Dugu Fengwus chest. Blood spurted out suddenly as it sputtered onto Yang Dingtians face. Chapter 309: Yin Tianchong’s Death! Leaving East Parting Grassland! Chapter 309: Yin Tianchongs Death! Leaving East Parting Grassland!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Shen Lang, you dare? Gudu Wuhuan howled, Im going to dismember you into a thousand pieces! Yang Dingtian withdrew his enormous sword from Dugu Fengwus chest. Immediately, fresh blood spurted out and covered Yang Dingtians whole face. Immediately after, Yang Dingtian grabbed the almost-dead Dugu Fengwu and placed her before him as he placed his sword across her neck, Gudu Wuhuan, immediately let us go. Otherwise, I will behead Dugu Fengwu immediately. Gudu Wuhuan replied while battling Zhuri Beila, Shen Lang, let go of Dugu Fengwu, and I will let you leave. No! Yang Dingtian replied, I want you to let all of us off. Release Dugu Fengwu, and I will let you live. Furthermore, I will never chase after you. Gudu Wuhuan howled. Subsequently, he was preparing to leave the battle group and charge at Yang Dingtian. No, release all of us. Yang Dingtian commented. Dream on... At present, Yin Tianchong, who was still in mid-air, laughed out suddenly, Do you think I will let go of the meat that entered my mouth? Its Dugu Fengwus destiny to die in your hands. Im powerless against it. Currently, Dongfang Binglings face no longer had any trace of rosiness while her body trembled as if she would collapse at any time. Yin Tianchong continued to stare at Dongfang Bingling as he spoke, All of a sudden, I recalled that its really a pity to pierce your qi vessel. Im very tender towards the opposite sex. Therefore, I have decided to use my hand to crush your qi vessel. This way, not only would your body remain intact, but you would also become an absolute plaything. Haha... Gudu Wuhuan, continue to pester Zhuri Beila. After I am done with Fairy Dongfang, I will come down and kill him immediately. Yin Tianchong smiled. Subsequently, he took out a layer of glove that looked like cicada wings. He opened his palm and grabbed Dongfang Binglings qi vessel. Currently, Dongfang Bingling had already reached her limit. She would collapse at any moment, and she didnt have the energy to retaliate. Therefore, Yin Tianchong was able to attentively touch Dongfang Binglings splendid body as he wished. His speed was extremely slow while his fingers danced continuously as he grabbed Dongfang Binglings qi vessel ruthlessly. The current him had been dominated by his lust as he tossed everything to the back of his mind. Hu... He stretched his hand and grabbed ferociously. However, what he touched wasnt Dongfang Binglings body. Rather, it was a block of solid cold ice. What came into his vision was a block of blue solid ice that was wrapping Dongfang Bingling up. When Yin Tianchongs palm had just gotten into contact with the cold ice, Dongfang Binglings haggard beautiful eyes suddenly opened, and it was extremely bright and abstruse. Bam... Subsequently, Dongfang Binglings delicate body shot out from the cold ice. At the same time, the solid cold ice was turned into a beam of blue light as it drilled into Yin Tianchongs body from his palm. Ah... Yin Tianchong cried out. Instantly, his body turned blue as a layer of cold frost was formed on his body. This was the fatal cold poison that fused with the Million Spirit Yin Flame. Immediately, Yin Tianchong circulated all of his fire attribute mystic qi within his qi vessel and expelled all of the cold poison within his body frantically. At the same time, Dongfang Bingling hovered in mid-air as dazzling radiance shot out from her beautiful eyes. Meanwhile, her whole body was emitting blue radiance. Currently, Dongfang Bingling seemed uninjured. On the contrary, it seemed as if she had grown stronger. Boom... After which, a blue flame suddenly combusted from within her body. This was her Mystic Flame! She had used the Mystic Flame to ignite all of her mystic qi. With a glance, a lump of incredibly brilliant blue flame burnt in mid-air. When the flame had combusted to its limits. Dongfang Bingling bent her delicate body suddenly. Old freak, my cultivation might not be comparable to you. However, its not that big of a difference as you thought. The reason why Im so weak is that Im going to kill you. Your death day has arrived! Dongfang Bingling spoke coldly. Boom... Dongfang Binglings delicate body shot out, and the blue flame on her body burst forth suddenly as it condensed into a Yin Flame that was around the size of a palm before shooting over to Yin Tianchong. Yin Tianchong was greatly startled. He stopped expelling the cold poison immediately as he dodged and fled frantically. Bam... However, when the Yin Flame was a dozen of meters away from him, it exploded. Immediately, a beam of dazzling radiance burst out in the air as if a nuclear warhead had just exploded. All the boulders and the vegetation that was below them turned into the powder. Those Eagleman Race experts who were flying in the air were instantly turned charred from distortion. Meanwhile, Yin Tianchongs body had been engulfed by the flame completely as it disappeared instantly. *** A few seconds later, the dazzling blue light gradually grew dim. Yin Tianchong had yet to die. However, he looked extremely miserable. His gown had already been burnt charred, including hair and beard. All of them were turned into nothing. The immortal-like Yin Tianchong was currently naked as blood dripped out from his body. He was filled with injuries and was in a mess as he collapsed down ferociously. However, he circulated his mystic qi and forcefully stopped his descent as he hovered in mid-air. When Dongfang Bingling saw the extremely ugly Yin Tianchong, she smiled coldly. She instantly turned into a beam of a blue meteor as she raised her sword and charged at him. Young Lady Dongfang, dont kill me. Dont kill me. We can make a deal. I can use a ninth-grade mystic skill to trade for my life. Yin Tianchong cried out in fright. Dream on. No one will be able to save you. Even the heavens couldnt exchange for your life. You dare to humiliate me. Not only will I kill you, but Im also going to slaughter your whole clan. Dongfang Bingling commented coldly. Subsequently, she charged forward suddenly. Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh... The sword in Dongfang Binglings hand danced as it pierced into Yin Tianchongs body ferociously. Immediately, a lump of bloody fog emitted out together with Yin Tianchongs terrified and miserable screams. Whoosh whoosh whoosh... Dongfang Bingling struck out at lightning speed. A moment later, Yin Tianchongs miserable bawl had come to a stop. His whole body had been sliced into dozens of pieces, and he died without an intact corpse! Immediately, everyone on the ground was utterly stupefied. The change of situation was truly expected. A moment ago, Yin Tianchong was still holding superiority while Dongfang Bingling was at her last breath. Unexpectedly, the situation had taken a quick turn instantly. In the blink of the eye, Yin Tianchong was dismembered into a thousand pieces. After killing Yin Tianchong, Dongfang Binglings looked towards Qin Huaiyu and the others. Immediately, Qin Huaiyu was in despair. Lets go... He looked at Gudu Wuhuan, face to face. Both of them bit onto their tongues suddenly as a lump of bloody fog spurted out. They turned into a lump of bloody red light and fled rapidly as they left Yan Bieqin behind. Currently, Yan Bieqin was fighting with Zhuri Beila alone. His complexion changed as he suffered a palm strike from the other party and retreated for several dozen meters as he separated himself from the battle. However, Zhuri Beila didnt use this opportunity to kill him. Instead, he looked at him nonchalantly before turning around and started killing those groups of Eagleman Race to save his clansmen. Currently, only 5 of the 30 Foxman Race experts were alive. Yang Dingtian had also rushed over to those Foxman Race experts. Ever since Dongfang Bingling had killed Yin Tianchong, the battlefield took a complete change. He was able to rescue those Foxman Race experts with a peace of mind. Yan Bieqin gazed at Dongfang Bingling with a complicated look. Subsequently, he took off his mask and revealed his charming and handsome appearance. Fairy Dongfang, the real Million Spirit Demon Flame had ultimately fallen into your hand. Congratulations. Yan Bieqin spoke out, I lost. Im yours. Its up to you whether you want to kill or skin me alive! Dongfang Bingling looked at him and spoke coldly, You had already taken advantage of them and seized the Mirage Void Flame from them at the unfreezing pool. Why did you decide to interfere with todays matter? Yan Bieqin smiled bitterly, Because the other party offered me a price that I couldnt reject. I have led myself to death. You can make your move. After he spoke, Yan Bieqin closed his eyes and stretched out his neck. Dongfang Bingling smiled coldly, Although you are being pretentious right now, you still didnt kill me when we were in the unfreezing pool. Today, I shall also let you off. You can leave! Yan Bieqins body shuddered slightly as he bowed, Many thanks. S~?a??h the ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Subsequently, he turned around and circulated his mystic qi as he left quickly. *** On the other side, the angered Zhuri Beila had killed the remaining Eagleman Race experts. Furthermore, they were all dismembered into thousands of pieces. Meanwhile, Yang Dingtian used the holy water to save the Foxman Race experts hovering between life and death on the ground. Although the holy water could raise a person from death, it still couldnt truly save a dead man. Therefore, about 18 or so Foxman Race experts were brought back to life. There were still seven Foxman Race experts who died. Thank you for your kindness. Zhuri Beila came forward and gave Yang Dingtian a bow. Subsequently, he flew upwards to the lake island as he brought Xiangxiang Beila over. ... Yang Dingtian looked at Dongfang Bingling and was somewhat baffled. She clearly hated Qin Huaiyu to her bones. Why didnt she chase after him? She was so formidable to the point of being heaven-defying. Killing Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan wouldnt require much effort from her. Why didnt she chase and kill them? Dongfang Bingling commented after she saw Yang Dingtians gaze, Shen Lang, lets leave. Quickly. Now? Yang Dingtian cried out in surprise. Correct, now! Dongfang Bingling confirmed. Yang Dingtian looked towards Zhuri Beila, and it just so happened that he had just arrived at the lake island and was comforting his daughter. Immediately, Yang Dingtian spoke to Dongfang Bingling, I will bid farewell to chieftain Zhuri first. No need. Lets leave quickly. We have to leave now. Dongfang Bingling commented. After she spoke, Dongfang Bingling went forward and grabbed Yang Dingtian as they flew off towards the south quickly. Yang Dingtian yelled, Chieftain Zhuri, Xiangxiang, we shall meet again in the future! Zhuri Beila couldnt help but be stunned when he saw how quickly Yang Dingtian had left. He hugged onto Xiangxiang and chased after them. Dongfang Bingling continued to advance very quickly as she spoke out, Chieftain Zhuri, immediately head towards the Red Sea. Bring along sufficient food and water. After meeting Sage Tan Tai, narrate to her what had happened here. Otherwise, your Foxman Race would be drowned in disasters! Many thanks for Young Lady Dongfangs guidance. I shall send you off to the sea. Zhuri Beila replied. No. You have to use your fastest speed and rush over to the Celestial Red Sea. Go over there now. Dongfang Bingling replied. Zhuri Beilas complexion changed, Alright. Remember, my clan had concealed several boats at the southern beach of the Red Sea. There are sufficient sailors and food onboard. Furthermore, they are all human sailors. I used them to make deals with dry land. Both of you can board that ship and return. Many thanks, Chieftain! Yang Dingtian replied. Xiangxiang Beila yelled from the back, Big brother Shen Lang, I will await your return! ... Dongfang Bingling carried Yang Dingtian and flew towards the south. Zhuri Beila and the others who were behind her grew further and further away until they could no longer be seen. Chapter 310: The Death Of Demon Woman! Flying Back To Northwest Continent! Chapter 310: The Death Of Demon Woman! Flying Back To Northwest Continent!Dongfang Bingling flew for over a hundred miles with Yang Dingtian before finding a hidden valley to descend. Dongfang Bingling belched out a mouth of blue blood after descending to the ground. Correct, it was blue blood. Subsequently, she stumbled, seemingly unable to stand any longer. Yang Dingtian finally knew why she didnt chase after Qin Huaiyu and the others. It wasnt because she didnt want to. Rather, she couldnt. Her qi vessel had been emptied after killing Yin Tianchong. Therefore, she left immediately and didnt even have the time to bid farewell. Shen Lang, were pressing for time. Do what Im about to tell you. Dongfang Bingling spoke. Alright. Yang Dingtian replied. Firstly, feed a tiny bit of holy water to Dugu Fengwu immediately. Dont let her die off. However, she mustnt recover too quickly, either. Dongfang Bingling panted. Yang Dingtian placed Dugu Fengwu on the ground before supporting Dongfang Bingling and sat down. Although he didnt speak, he still looked at her in astonishment. Dongfang Bingling actually wanted to save Dugu Fengwu on her own initiative. Didnt she want to kill Dugu Fengwu, the Demon Woman, at all times? I wanted to kill Qin Huaiyu because he was a rebel. Dongfang Bingling continued, If you werent at my side, I would have to kill Dugu Fengwu. However, youre at my side. Therefore, Dugu Fengwu mustnt die at any cost. You wouldnt be able to bear Dugu Xiaos fury. Im afraid he would chase after you even if you were to run to the end of the world. Yang Dingtian thought about it as he extracted a bit of holy water and fed it to Dugu Fengwu. Currently, Dugu Fengwus silky chest had been stabbed. Even if her heart wasnt stabbed, she still lost a considerable amount of blood. If he werent going to save her when she was unconscious, she would die very soon. Now, Yang Dingtian wanted to understand why Dugu Fengwus Blood Sacrifice Light Shield disappeared when Yang Dingtians enormous sword stabbed in. Her old illness had relapsed once again, causing her to turn frail instantly. This illness had recurred two to three times and had caused her to become extremely miserable. Previously when she headed over to the unfreezing pool to obtain the Mystic Flame, Yang Dingtian thought that she had recovered from this illness. Who knew that it would actually break out just now? All of a sudden, she turned fragile to the extent that it even allowed Yang Dingtian to stab through her chest. Otherwise, it was practically impossible for Yang Dingtian to injure her with his current cultivation realm as she was at least a five star Martial Supreme. Once a martial artist cultivated to the Martial Mystic, there would be a huge disparity between each level. In the past, Yang Dingtian would be able to defeat anyone who was a level higher than him. After cultivating past the Martial Mystic class, it became extremely hard to achieve this. Once he reached the Martial Ancestor, defeating the Martial Supreme class expert became even more impossible. However, Yang Dingtian possessed the Mystic Flame right now. There was also the Yin Yang Qi Transformation Technique and his youngling sword. Thus, he wouldnt be afraid of facing a primary level Martial Supreme. But Dugu Fengwu was at least a five to six-star Martial Supreme. The disparity was too big. After drinking the tiny bit of holy water, a bit of rosiness returned on the pale and colorless Dugu Fengwu. The huge wound on her chest had also started to stop bleeding and had gradually healed. However, she still had to wake up. Dongfang Bingling was still at unease. She went forward and restricted Dugu Fengwus mystic meridians. Therefore, even if she had suddenly woken up, she wouldnt be able to injure anyone due to her anger. Secondly, Yin Tianchongs cultivation realm was a lot higher than me. Therefore, I had to act weak and let him lose his vigilance for him to be struck by my Yin Flame Cold Poison. Subsequently, I had used an evil technique similar to Gudu Wuhuans, which allowed my mystic qi cultivation to instantly soar. Besides, I had used the Mystic Flame to ignite all of my mystic qi. Only by doing so was I able to kill Yin Tianchong, who was four-star above her. However, I had also become extremely weak. Therefore, I brought you along and left immediately. Dongfang Bingling continued, Otherwise, we would have been in danger once Yan Bieqin, Gudu Wuhuan and Qin Huaiyu kill their way back after they noticed something was amiss. Isnt there still Zhuri Beila? Yang Dingtian questioned, He is also in the Master class. I wouldnt place my hopes onto others. Dongfang Bingling continued, It is very clear that the Evil Dao had started to lay their hands onto the East Parting Grassland. If we didnt leave, their group of rescue units would arrive very quickly. This was for sure to happen. Yin Tianchong had kept on saying the Holy Cult and young master. He wanted to turn Dongfang Bingling into a puppet before giving it to that young master. Therefore, the other partys influence was definitely not small in the East Parting Grassland. It was also because of this reason, Dongfang Bingling had gotten Zhuri Beila to head over to the Celestial Red Sea immediately. So long as Tan Tai had spoken out, she believed that no one in the East Parting Grassland would dare to make a move. Otherwise, the Foxman Race would immediately be drowned in disasters. Next, I wouldnt be able to use any mystic qi for the next 10 days. Therefore, I will depend on you to protect me. Dongfang Bingling continued, Qin Huaiyu and the others would wake up immediately and send a large number of experts to hunt us. Therefore, we mustnt stop and must use the fastest speed to leave East Parting Grassland as we board a boat to return to the Northwest Continent. You knew a flight mystic technique and also possessed the Sky Spirit Mystic Wings. Dont be stingy with the mystic qi, and use all your efforts to fly. We mustnt let Qin Huaiyu and the others catch up with us. Bring along Dugu Fengwu and use her as your hostage when theres a need to. Sure! Yang Dingtian replied. Dongfang Bingling came forward and leaned over on Yang Dingtians back. She hugged onto Yang Dingtians upper body and shut her eyes unhurriedly as she started her recovery. I can still give you a bit of holy water. Yang Dingtian spoke out. Its useless. Im not injured, but my qi vessel and mystic meridians are overdraft. Dongfang Bingling commented, Leave quickly and dont be concerned about me. If Qin Huaiyu catches up to us and Dugu Fengwu is useless as a hostage, you can hand me over. Impossible. Yang Dingtian rejected, I couldnt endure such a big humiliation. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian carried Dongfang Bingling on his back while he held onto the unconscious Dugu Fengwu and shook his mystic wings. He flew to the sky and circulated his flight mystic skill as he flew towards the south quickly. Currently, they were 4,000 miles away from the sea. Yang Dingtians Sky Spirit Mystic Wings would be able to travel for about 200 kilometers an hour. However, his flight mystic skill could travel for about 400 kilometers. By integrating them together, he would be able to travel for about 500 kilometers per hour, which was equivalent to 1,000 miles per hour. However, the consumption of mystic qi was extremely terrifying. Currently, everything on the ground looked like an ant, and Yang Dingtian was just a black dot that was like a bird if they were to look up from the ground. If they werent closing close attention to him, they would never discover him. Suddenly, an absurd feeling swelled up in Yang Dingtian. Dugu Fengwu and Dongfang Bingling, the two peerless beauties that couldnt co-exist together, were actually on his body. Furthermore, both of them were in frail condition. ... This kind of flight mystic skill consumption was indeed too terrifying. Just barely two hours later, it had fully consumed all of Yang Dingtians mystic qi. Yang Dingtian descended onto this desolated ravine and consumed a mystic assembly elixir as he rested for 15 minutes. Immediately, his qi vessel was filled with mystic qi once again. The effect of mystic assembly elixir may seem extremely astonishing. In fact, it shouldnt be used unless it was the last resort. Because it could only be consumed once for a short period. It would be extremely harmful to the qi vessel and mystic meridians if it were to be consumed in succession. Furthermore, the harm would be irreversible. Even if it were only consumed once, the consequences were somewhat dire as it would cause the mystic meridians to silt. However, there wasnt any time for Yang Dingtian to be bothered by this. After recovering his mystic qi, Yang Dingtian held Dugu Fengwu back up and flew towards the south at full speed. An hour later, they left the East Parting Grassland. Because they were flying at an extremely high altitude, they were able to avoid encountering those Half-Human Race that were flying in the sky. Therefore, the journey didnt have many mishaps. Although they were still marked and chased after by several flying Half-Human Race, their speed was still a lot slower than Yang Dingtians speed. Furthermore, they werent any formidable experts as well. Currently, the ground was a boundless desert and was about 2,000 miles far. An hour later, Yang Dingtian had fully consumed his mystic qi. At this moment, the sky had also turned dark, and Yang Dingtian had no choice but to descend onto the dangerous desert. Correct, the desert appeared to be even more dangerous than the East Parting Grassland. It was because there wasnt any place to take cover in the desert. Furthermore, there were Half-Human Patrols everywhere. Fortunately, Dongfang Binglings reaction was swift, and we immediately left after chasing Qin Huaiyu off. So, by the time Qin Huaiyu and the others would notice that something was amiss, the experts they would send out wouldnt be able to chase them up. Furthermore, there wouldnt be enough time for them to send the information bird to alert the patrols in the desert because there were hardly any birds that could exceed Yang Dingtians speed. Of course, Gudu Wuhuan and Qin Huaiyu didnt possess any flight mystic skill, but their speed was somewhat faster than Yang Dingtian. However, they might not necessarily do such a thing that would squander their mystic qi so intensively. Besides, even if they did it, they might not necessarily be able to catch up to Yang Dingtian because Yang Dingtian and the others had left too much earlier. After descending onto the desert, Yang Dingtian dug a sandpit quickly and got Dongfang Bingling and Dugu Fengwu into it. He needed four hours to absorb the battle mystic qi. These four hours were the most dangerous as this time was sufficient for Qin Huaiyu and the others to catch up to him. However, he had no other choice. Yang Dingtian needed to recover his mystic qi before he could leave. Yang Dingtians luck was pretty decent. After entering the sandpit, a gust of storm scraped past him, and countless pieces of sand started to move chaotically as it erased all of the traces Yang Dingtian had left behind. ... Barely an hour later, Yang Dingtian was able to clearly hear the rush of horses hoof above him. Correct, the pursuing team had arrived! Gudu Wuhuan and Qin Huaiyu had sent an astonishing amount of patrols to conduct a carpet search. Based on the concentration and intensity of the sounds, Yang Dingtian was able to compute that there were at least several thousands of mounted soldiers. There were also Infernal Dogs and Flying Blind Sparrows. These two demonic beasts possessed a terrifying sense of smell. They would be able to sniff the scent even if a person were several hundreds of meters away or dozens of meters deep. Currently, Yang Dingtians sandpit was about a dozen of meters deep. It was undeniable that the Flying Blind Sparrow would be able to sniff them out. In fact, these bastards had already sniffed them out because Yang Dingtian was able to hear them rushing over. Immediately, Yang Dingtians hair stood erect as he felt a sense of fatal danger. s?a??h th? N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Currently, he had only managed to recover half of his mystic qi, and he wasnt afraid to confront any ordinary patrols. However, once he was trapped by these enemies, Qin Huaiyu and the others would rush over quickly. When that time would come, he could only wait for his demise. However, Yang Dingtian had his own means. Very quickly, he took out something that looked similar to a snow-white jade. Older sister Ningning was the best Beast Speaker, and this piece of silent jade stick was manufactured by her. This stick could cause all demonic beasts around the range of several hundred meters to lose their senses, rendering them unable to discover Yang Dingtians existence. Yang Dingtian circulated his mystic qi and burnt this silent jade stick as he allowed this special smell to dissipate out. It was indeed useful. Those bastards who were rushing over halted their footsteps very quickly because their nose could no longer smell anything. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian shut his eyes and continued to absorb the mystic qi. Just like this, the patrols above them continued to search for them attentively. Close to an hour later, they left like a cirrus. Yang Dingtian heaved a sigh of relief before continuing to absorb the battle mystic qi. ... Over two hours later, Yang Dingtian had finally managed to fill his qi vessel to its brim. After confirming there was no one above the desert, Yang Dingtian charged out from the desert suddenly as he flew up the sky. He flew higher and higher until he was several kilometers high. When Yang Dingtian looked down, he gasped immediately. Because whatever that was in the desert was plainly visible to him. This red desert was filled with densely packed patrols, and they were carrying a torch as they conducted a carpet search around the whole desert. And the one that Yang Dingtian had just met was merely one of their groups. Yang Dingtian evaluated. There were close to 30 to 40 thousand patrols in the desert. Such an amount of patrol strength was truly terrifying. It seemed like the infiltration of Evil Dao was even worse than they had imagined, and the strength they wielded was a lot more than what Yang Dingtian had imagined. Furthermore, there were also several red dots in the sky. They were several hundred flying mystic soldiers and were conducting a search in the sky. They had actually brought out such a terrifying strength just to hunt Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling. However, it was fortunate that Yang Dingtian possessed the silent jade stick. Therefore, it was extremely hard for these bastards to discover him. However, to play safe, Yang Dingtian braved the dangers and flew higher. Only when he was 4 kilometers up in the sky did he continue to fly towards the south. While flying towards the south, Yang Dingtian was still able to see the densely packed cavalries conducting a carpet search around the desert. Now, Yang Dingtian was about to correct his hypothesis. There werent 30 to 40 thousand cavalries searching for Yang Dingtian in the desert. Rather, it was more than 100 thousand. Immediately, Yang Dingtian grew extremely serious. It was evident that these 100 thousand cavalries were provided by the Half-Human Race that was at the edge of the desert. When a war were to happen, the strength the Evil Dao could mobilize in the East Parting Grassland wouldnt be several hundred thousand. Rather, it would be in millions. It seemed that the Half-Human Race was going to be added into the Evil Dao alliance for the upcoming extermination battle. Perhaps, the peace between humanity and the Half-Human Race would come to an end a thousand years later. ... An hour later, Yang Dingtian finally left the desert and arrived at the endless coastline. Before him was the boundless ocean. Yang Dingtian heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally escaped the pursuit of Qin Huaiyu and the others. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian circled around the sky and searched for the Foxman Races boat. However, he didnt see any traces of boats at the location Zhuri Beila had provided him. On the contrary, he saw a pile of burnt boats as well as a pile of corpses. Immediately, Yang Dingtian turned cold. It seemed like they had made their moves beforehand and burnt all the boats left here by the Foxman Race. They had also killed all of their people. It was at this moment, a furious roar resonated out from the desert. Subsequently, a person pointed at the direction Yang Dingtian was at. Not good, they had discovered Yang Dingtian. Immediately, several hundreds of flying cavalry soared and chased Yang Dingtian frantically. And Yang Dingtian hurriedly flew towards the Northwest Continent direction at his top speed. Chapter 311: Dongfang Bingling, Let’s Perish Together! Chapter 311: Dongfang Bingling, Lets Perish Together!The East Parting Grassland was about 8,000 miles away from the Northwest Continent. Yang Dingtian had just flown for 5,000 miles, traveling from the Sun and Moon Lake to the seashore. At this moment, flying for another 8,000 miles wasnt a big deal for him. However, the difference between them was Yang Dingtian could descend for a rest for the previous 5,000 miles. But now, it was the boundless ocean below him, and there wasnt any place for him to descend. There wasnt an island in these 8,000 miles of the ocean when Yang Dingtian sailed his way to the East Parting Grassland. Of course, previously, when Yang Dingtian was training his spiritual technique, he had stayed underwater for several hours because he possessed a particular elixir. However, he was no longer alone right now. There was a gravely injured Dugu Fengwu as well as the recovering Dongfang Bingling. Furthermore, it was feasible to train his spiritual energy underwater, but it was somewhat difficult to absorb battle mystic qi. However, Yang Dingtian couldnt be bothered by all of this because several hundreds of flying cavalries were chasing after them in masses while Yang Dingtian could only fly forward with all his might. Those flying cavalries speed was a lot slower than Yang Dingtian. Therefore, Yang Dingtian was able to increase the distance between them. However, they still pursued closely without any signs of giving up. Just like that, Yang Dingtian used his fastest speed to fly for several hundred miles. Child, I have to remind you. Suddenly, Dongfang Niemie spoke out, You have already reached your limits by flying at such an outstanding speed. If you continue on, it will incur permanent damage to your mystic meridians. Yang Dingtian was astonished immediately, Master, I cant use the mystic skill to continue flying? Of course. Therefore, even Grandmaster class experts would ride the ship when traveling for 10,000 miles and not flight. Its already your limit to fly for 5,000 miles, which was also because of your Nine Yang Mystic Meridians. If it were anyone else, flying for 3,000 miles would already incur huge harm to them. Dongfang Niemie continued, After all, humans are not flying objects. Although Yang Dingtian was extremely worried after he heard his masters words, he still had no other choice because several hundred people were chasing after him. If he were to continue his flight, only his mystic meridians would be injured. If he were to halt, he would most likely lose his life. Therefore, even though Yang Dingtian knew that it would harm his mystic meridians, he still had no choice but to continue on. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian discovered another inauspicious matter. His mystic qi had been fully consumed. This time, it didnt persist to 2,000 miles. Merely over a thousand miles and his mystic qi had been fully consumed. Yang Dingtian was greatly alarmed when he felt his exhausted mystic qi. It would mean absolute death if his mystic qi were to be exhausted at this time, and any of the cavalries behind him would be able to take his life. Yang Dingtians flying speed grew slower with the exhaustion of mystic qi, and those flying cavalries behind him drew closer. Besides, Yang Dingtian was already able to hear their stringent murderous voice as well as their sinister expression. Yang Dingtian glanced at Dugu Fengwu, who was in his embrace. Those who were chasing after them were the Half-Human Races flying cavalries. Therefore, it was infeasible to use Dugu Fengwu as the hostage. Could it be that he would really have to die in this ocean? According to practices, the mystic assembly elixir could only be consumed once in three to four days. A few hours ago, Yang Dingtian had just consumed one. If he were to consume a second pill, the consequences would be extremely dire. Furthermore, even if he risked the enormous dangers and consumed a second mystic assembly elixir, it might not necessarily condense much mystic qi. However, Yang Dingtian no longer had any other choice. He took out a mystic assembly elixir from his spatial ring and consumed it even if the aftermath were extremely severe. Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh... It was at this moment, an orderly noise rang above the ocean surface. Subsequently, a group of densely packed red radiance shot out. There were four boats in the ocean. A moment ago, Yang Dingtian was anxious and had only paid attention to his pursuers behind him. He had completely neglected the ocean. Unexpectedly, there were four boats in the ocean. Meanwhile, the densely packed red radiance that shot to the sky was the energy crossbow from the ship. This kind of energy crossbow used the wind attribute crystal stone as its impetus while the fire attribute crystal stone as its arrowhead, making its destructiveness extremely formidable. A boat shot out dozens of energy arrows a time. With four boats, it shot more than a hundred energy arrows. Yang Dingtian clearly saw that these energy arrows were like the earths rocket as it flew past him and shot towards the Half-Human Races flying cavalries behind him. Although they had dodged it, there were still dozens of Half-Human Race cavalries that were shot as they fell into the ocean. After the first volley of gunfire had been launched, the second volley of gunfire immediately followed, followed by the third volley of gunfire... Immediately, the remaining Half-Human Race flying cavalries quickly turned around as they dispersed from all directions to evade the densely packed energy arrows. Yang Dingtian was able to see that the ships flag originated from the Foxman Race. There were also traces of Foxman Race on the deck. However, there wasnt much of it, and the majority of the sailors and martial experts were actually humans. This ought to be the boat Zhuri Beila used to smuggle. Therefore, there were a large number of humans. And because he had always wanted to get close to humans, therefore, Zhuri Beila had a smuggling boat that would be used to conduct all kinds of trade and exchange with humans. Yang Dingtian descended onto the deck, hurriedly. Immediately, two Foxman Race martial experts came forward and greeted, May I know the name of sire? Na Lu, or known as Shen Lang. Yang Dingtian replied. Indeed, youre high priest Na Lu. That Foxman Race martial commander spoke, Im the martial commander of the central fleet. Two days ago, I received the chieftains orders to receive you at the coastline and send you back to the Northwest Continent. Originally, our fleet was supposed to head out to sea yesterday. However, we have waited for you till today. Who knew that several hours ago, our fleet that had docked at the pier would be assaulted by thousands of troops. Because our four ships had always patrolled around the ocean, we managed to escape this calamity. Yang Dingtian spoke, Your central fleet had a total of how many boats? Thirteen. The commander replied, Nine of them were destroyed, killing over a thousand people. Immediately, Yang Dingtian was filled with remorse. The Foxman Race central fleet had suffered a huge loss of over a thousand lives because they were here to receive him! You should return to the cabin and rest quickly. Leave the remaining matter to us. That Foxman Race martial commander spoke. Thank you for the trouble. Yang Dingtian replied. He didnt return to the cabin. Rather, he placed Dugu Fengwu and Dongfang Bingling down before heading to the deck and sat down as he devoured the battle mystic qi. Currently, those remaining Half-Human Race flying cavalries intend to surround those four ships before assaulting over from the sky. However, the energy crossbow was truly too incisive. In a short period, it killed another hundred of people as it struck terror to those Half-Human Race flying cavalries. When less than a hundred of them were left, those flying cavalries were finally afraid as they flew back unwillingly. The martial commander arrived before Yang Dingtian and bowed, High priest Na Lu, the enemy had retreated. Many thanks, commander. Yang Dingtian replied. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian heaved a sigh of relief. However, at this moment, two black dots were drawing closer towards the four ships at high speed. Yang Dingtians back suddenly turned cold while the Foxman Race martial commander narrowed his eyes. He commanded, Prepare all the energy crossbows! Fire... When the two black dots had entered the firing radius, the Foxman Race martial commander gave the command. Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh... Over hundreds of energy arrows shot towards the two black dots ferociously. They instantly enveloped the two of them. The duo didnt dodge and allowed the hundreds of energy arrows to hit them. However, they were left unscathed. Before the hundreds of energy arrows got close to them, they were all turned into fine powders. This was a duo of top-tier experts. Yang Dingtian was able to see who both of them were very quickly. Indeed, they were Gudu Wuhuan and Qin Huaiyu. Currently, they were riding on two enormous dark boats and were pursuing Yang Dingtian at a speed of a thousand kilometers per hour. In a short moment, Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan duo was already several hundred miles away from the ship. Mister Shen Lang, you still didnt manage to escape from our palms. Gudu Wuhuan spoke, You had almost managed to escape. During that time, I was baffled. Fairy Dongfang was so strong, yet why didnt she chase after us? Therefore, after fleeing for an hour, we realized something amiss. To kill Yin Tianchong, Fairy Dongfang had consumed all of her mystic qi. It wasnt that she didnt want to kill us. Rather, she couldnt. Subsequently, Gudu Wuhuan spoke, To kill you all, we had sent out 160 thousand Half-Human Race. Unexpectedly, you had run for over 5,000 miles, and we only managed to find you in the ocean. However, Sire Shen lang, you will no longer be able to escape now. Foxman Race commander stared at Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan as he spoke coldly, All central fleet martial experts, get ready for battle! Yes! Immediately, over 200 martial experts unsheathed their swords and stood in all directions of the ship as they formed a battle formation. Yang Dingtian stood up, Foxman Race experts, all of you can retreat. This is a matter between them and me. Let me handle it myself. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian spoke to Qin Huaiyu, Theyre innocent. Let them off. Come to me. Sorry, because they have helped you, all of them will have to die. Gudu Wuhuan replied nonchalantly, Since we had mobilized over a hundred thousand people, we wouldnt mind killing another several hundred Foxman Race experts. Gudu Wuhuan looked towards the still unconscious Dugu Fengwu, Shen Lang, hand Dugu Fengwu over. We can let you and Dongfang Bingling enjoy a more comfortable death. Otherwise, all kinds of tragic scenes would descend onto your body. Qin Huaiyu looked at the seated Dongfang Bingling, who still had her eyes shut, Fairy Dongfang, you killing Yin Tianchong had really given us a scare. However, ultimately, youll still land in our hands. Not necessary... It was at this timing, Dongfang Bingling opened her eyes suddenly as a threatening radiance shot out from her eyes. Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan were terrified as they turned around and wanted to escape instinctively. It was clear that they were somewhat intimidated by Dongfang Bingling. This woman was formidable and ruthless. She had greatly exceeded their imagination. To kill her, they had arranged two immense traps and were still unsuccessful. Instead, a Master class expert Yin Tianchong was killed by her. But merely after a moment, Qin Huaiyu laughed, Stop being pretentious, Fairy Dongfang. To kill Yin Tianchong, you had already overdrafted all of your mystic qi and would need at least half a month to recover. In the Sun and Moon Lake, your acting skills had scared us off. Dont think that the same trick will work on us twice. Subsequently, Qin Huaiyu looked towards Yang Dingtian, Dont dream of using Young Lady Dugu Fengwu to threaten us. Its useless. After he spoke, Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan dived down to about dozens of meters above Yang Dingtian and Dongfang Bingling as they spiraled around them, bringing a huge pressure to the ship. Dongfang Bingling stared at the duo coldly. Subsequently, she unscathed out her sword unhurriedly. Stop acting, Fairy Dongfang. The current you can no longer withstand a single blow. Qin Huaiyu laughed, You are in a miserable state, and you still want to be arrogant. Shen Lang, after I die, send my keepsake back to Yin Yang Sect. Dongfang Bingling commented coldly. Subsequently, she handed over an object to Yang Dingtian as she continued, If Gudu Wuhuan and Qin Huaiyu corpses are still intact, behead them and send them back to Yin Yang Sect. After she spoke, Dongfang Bingling released a formidable battle will. Immediately, the complexion of Yang Dingtian and the others changed. Unexpectedly, Dongfang Bingling would still bring up the matter regarding Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuans corpses. Her intention was clear, she was going to kill the duo. Qin Huaiyu smiled disdainfully, Fairy Dongfang, you should stop acting. Youre still thinking of killing us even in this state, dream on. After we have captured you, we want to hand you over and turn you into a puppet without the intention to do anything to you. However, the pretentious acting of you had caused me to feel extremely unhappy. Later on, dont blame us for tarnishing and humiliating you. After all, youre the No.1 beauty in the world. You asked for it yourself. Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan suddenly unscathed out their swords while their faces were filled with evil intentions. Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan not only wanted to turn Dongfang Bingling into a sinister puppet, they even wanted to sully her. Dongfang Binglings gaze turned cold, Im not you. I never once put on a feign. Previously, I had overdrafted my qi vessel and mystic meridians. This time, I will overdraft my life. Lets find out if it would be sufficient to kill you! Dongfang Binglings voice was still extremely dull when she was speaking of perishing together. Her appearance was still extremely indifferent without any expression while it was filled with determination. Qin Huaiyus complexion changed when he heard it. His complexion trembled, You think I will believe you? Dongfang Bingling didnt reply. Whoosh... A terrifying flame suddenly emitted out from her body as it instantly combusted ragingly. A terrifying murderous intent burst out from her body as well. The ship beneath her suddenly trembled while the seawater around her shuddered as overflowing huge waves surged. S~?a??h the Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Everyone was able to distinctively feel that Dongfang Binglings life was being combusted. Shen Lang, fly up and leave immediately. Dongfang Bingling turned around and spoke to Yang Dingtian, Once you return, help me tell Yang Dingtian that I wouldnt be able to participate in the martial competition three years later. However, he would certainly not be my match. No one in the world can surpass me, not even Yang Dingtian! Go... Subsequently, Dongfang Bingling yelled at Yang Dingtian. Yang Dingtian placed Dugu Fengwu down and took out his youngling sword, unhurriedly, I will not leave. Although Im extremely weak and could just serve as a stopgap, I dont want to leave. I want to fight alongside you. With me around, you will not get your turn! Dongfang Bingling had already turned into a lump of terrifying flame as she spoke coldly. Whoosh... Subsequently, Dongfang Bingling soared and charged towards Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan. Currently, Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan were greatly astonished. They never imagined that Dongfang Bingling would actually be so decisive. When they saw that Dongfang Bingling was charging towards them ferociously and wanted to perish together, Qin Huaiyu was terror-stricken. Fairy Dongfang, dont risk your life, dont risk your life. We only wanted to capture you and not kill you. Dont risk your life. Qin Huaiyu retreated quickly as he yelled. Dongfang Bingling can die but can never be captured... Dongfang Bingling spoke out. Qin Huaiyu replied with a trembling voice, Alright. We will not capture you. We will leave immediately, leave immediately... After he spoke, Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan turned around and fled at their top speed. Too late. Those who dared to insult me with words will have to die! Dongfang Bingling commented coldly as she raised her flaming sword and slashed at Qin Huaiyu. Boom... Qin Huaiyu tried to evade with all his strength. However, he was still unable to dodge it away. Whoosh... His whole left arm had been blown off. Immediately, half of his arm had been severed off as blood spurted out. Qin Huaiyu issued a miserable howl. Immediately, Yang Dingtian felt an extremely gigantic and gentle strength pushing him onto the ships deck. Shen Lang, continue living well. Think of me occasionally, think of me... Dongfang Bingling whispered in Yang Dingtians ear with a gentle voice she had never once used before. Chapter 312: Bingling’s Life Or Death! Returning To Northwest Continent Chapter 312: Binglings Life Or Death! Returning To Northwest ContinentShen Lang, continue living well. Think of me occasionally, think of me... Dongfang Bingling whispered in Yang Dingtians ear with a gentle voice she had never once used before. Subsequently, Dongfang Binglings body vanished and was turned into a terrifying raging flame as it pounced over to Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan decisively. She used the Mystic Flame to ignite her vitality and qi vessel as she wanted to burn Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan alive so that they could perish together. Yang Dingtians eyes turned red as his body trembled. Although this woman would never let someone get too comfortable with her, she was still admirable. She was as cold as ice, but her character was like fire! She was a woman and was also the No.1 beauty in the world. However, no man was able to subdue her. No man could let her become a real woman. Subsequently, Dongfang Binglings raging flames engulfed Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan under Yang Dingtians trembling gaze along with rocketing energy and terrifying Mystic Flame. Both sides were about to perish together. Dongfang Bingling was about to pass away! He was truly unwilling to let Dongfang Bingling die. What kind of living beings were Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan? Compared to Dongfang Bingling, they were just like dogs. It was totally not worth it to die together with them. s?a??h th? N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. However, the current Yang Dingtian did not have the strength to stop all of this from happening. He couldnt do anything and could only howl at the hovering Dongfang Bingling, Dongfang Bingling, Im Yang Dingtian! Dongfang Bingling didnt show any reaction and was still combusting in her raging flames as she was about to be annihilated. When Yang Dingtian was about to fall into despair, Dongfang Bingling was about to perish together with Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan. All of a sudden, an extremely formidable energy enveloped down instantly as it covered the whole ocean. Immediately, Yang Dingtian felt an energy as if a mountain came crashing down. Everyone on board was shivering and didnt dare to make a move. At the same time, the combusting flame on Dongfang Binglings body gradually grew smaller. Ultimately, it was extinguished. The complexion of the hovering Dongfang Bingling had turned completely white without any hint of rosiness as she fell from the sky immediately. Yang Dingtian immediately went forward and stretched out his hand to receive Dongfang Bingling. Dongfang Binglings delicate body smashed onto Yang Dingtians embrace ruthlessly. She was unconscious, and it was unknown if she were still alive. Qin Huaiyu, Gudu Wuhuan, both of you had truly made me feel ashamed! All of a sudden, a thunderstrike like voice resonated out from the sky. Subsequently, a loud voice dropped from the sky. Yang Dingtian was extremely familiar with this person. He was Temple Master of Temple of Ten Thousand Blood, Dugu Xiao, one of the top-tier experts who was closest to becoming a Saint. Although he was extremely far away and didnt reveal his face, he was able to easily suppress Dongfang Binglings self-detonation. Everyone was shivering in fear after he had appeared. Dugu Xiao landed onto the boat and walked to Dugu Fengwus side unhurriedly. He carried her up and spoke to Yang Dingtian, Yang Dingtian, is this wound of my daughters pierced by you? Yang Dingtian nodded his head. Dugu Xiao narrowed his eyes and ignored Yang Dingtian as he looked towards Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan in a lightning-fast manner. Currently, both of them were slightly trembling, and their countenance was still extremely pale. Hais.... Dugu Xiao continued, It seems like my Evil Dao no longer has any geniuses. Regardless of Dugu Fengwu or Gudu Wuhuan, they were far too inferior compared to Dongfang Bingling. Subsequently, Dugu Xiao spoke to Gudu Wuhuan, You still wish to marry Fengwu while being like this? Do you still have the courage? Immediately, Gudu Wuhuans complexion changed when he heard it. He felt extremely humiliated. If it werent because Dugu Fengwu were here, I wouldnt be saving you and let the both of you die by Dongfang Binglings hand. Dugu Xiao continued coldly, Now, both of you can scram! Yes... Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Wuhuan bowed hurriedly as they leaped onto a flying mount immediately and flew towards the north. They didnt dare to stop within the Dugu Xiaos line of vision as the further they were away from him, the better. Dugu Xiao waited for Qin Huaiyu and Gudu Fengwu to leave before glancing back at Yang Dingtian indifferently, You injured my daughter and had almost caused her to lose her life. However, I wouldnt kill you. The resentment between you and Dugu Fengwu had to be solved between you and her. After she had recovered completely, whether she was going to dismember you into a thousand pieces, spare your life or even run to marry you, it wouldnt be my problem. Youre on your own! Dugu Xiao soared while he carried Dugu Fengwu and left after he spoke. Senior. Yang Dingtian shouted, May I ask if you have any way to save Dongfang Binglings life? Because currently, Yang Dingtian could no longer sense Dongfang Binglings pulse and breath. Previously, Dongfang Bingling had been frosted, fallen into a deep coma, and also stopped breathing. However, her vitality was still circulating around within her qi vessel. However, at the current moment, Yang Dingtian was really unable to sense any vitality from Dongfang Bingling. Although he knew that Dugu Xiao was a demon lord and was also an extremely wicked demon lord, Yang Dingtian still had no choice but to inquire about a solution. Dont waste your effort. No one can save her after she had combusted her qi vessel and life using the Mystic Flame. She has already died. Dugu Xiao replied. Immediately, Yang Dingtian trembled as he stared at the unbreathing Dongfang Bingling blanking as if he had been struck by lightning. Dugu Xiao smiled coldly and left. Suddenly, Dugu Xiao spoke out, Yang Dingtian, ever since she had forged her youngling sword in the Fire Cloud Devil Cave, Fengwu had only returned home once. However, she left again very quickly. It has been more than 10 months since then, and it has been almost half a year since I have come out to search for her! Currently, Yang Dingtian was in sorrow and despair. He also had no idea what Dugu Xiao was trying to convey. Hais... Dugu Xiao sighed. Subsequently, he continued his departure, but he headed towards the north. He didnt return to the Northwest Continent. Rather, he flew towards the East Parting Grassland direction. ... Yang Dingtian hugged onto Dongfang Bingling foolishly as he sat above the deck. He didnt show any reaction. He was unable to tell if he were feeling sad or any other form of emotion. He had merely lost interest in everything that was happening around him. He was unable to accept Dongfang Binglings death. She had yet to compete against him in a martial contest, and the five-year agreement had yet to arrive. Yet, she had actually died? How could this be? She was so formidable and arrogant. She was the No.1 genius in these 400 years. How could she die? Perhaps, it was because destiny was playing tricks on them as it allowed the enemy-like duo to be in gratitude towards each other time after time after so many things had happened in the East Parting Grassland. Ultimately, it even allowed her to die in Yang Dingtians embrace. Why was it like this? How could it be like this? The Foxman Race commander sighed while Yang Dingtian was stuck in sorrow and stupefied. Subsequently, he set sail the ship as they sailed towards the Northwest Continent. Master Dongfang Niemie also knew everything that had happened. He didnt issue any noise and only permeated himself into sadness. He didnt open his mouth to give Yang Dingtian any words of comfort. It was then that Yang Dingtian discovered that a change was happening to Dongfang Binglings body. Her ice-cold flesh had all of a sudden turned florid unhurriedly. Subsequently, her vitality returned slowly. Her breathing had also gradually returned together with her heartbeat. Although her breathing and heartbeat were still extremely weak, it still existed. Yang Dingtian was astonished and excited to the point that he had momentarily lost all of his reaction. What was going on? Didnt Dugu Xiao say that no one would be able to save Dongfang Bingling? Didnt Dongfang Bingling die? A moment ago, she had truly died. How did she revive? Yang Dingtian inquired in astonishment and puzzlement, Master, whats going on? How is this happening? Dongfang Niemie was also extremely excited as he spoke in trembles, Perhaps, its because of your blood. Previously, to thaw her, you had infused one-third of your blood into her body. Because you possess the Nine Yang Mystic Meridians, it had protected her last bit of vitality during the last juncture. Furthermore, because of Dugu Xiaos arrival, it had caused her qi vessel to be unable to explode in time. Therefore, she had managed to redeem her own life. Yang Dingtian, you have saved her life once again. Dongfang Niemie spoke as his voice trembled. Regardless, its good that she didnt die. Yang Dingtian replied. Subsequently, Yang Dingtian hurriedly carried her into the cabin. He took out a bottle of holy water and fed it into her mouth. Immediately, her breathing grew more stable as her heartbeat grew even more vigorous while her flesh turned even more florid. ... After which, the fleet navigated through the ocean at top speed while Dongfang Bingling was still in a coma state. Once again, Yang Dingtian took care of her in every possible way meticulously. It was even more thorough compared to when her divine senses had come to a halt. Of course, it was even more intimate or perhaps, could be said to be even more awkward. After sailing for four days, the 8,000 miles journey on the boat was about to come to an end, and the Northwest Continent ahead of them had become faintly visible. He had returned. He returned while bringing along the unconscious Dongfang Bingling with him.
