Chapter 931 Who Was in the Scheme?
“Recover your Divine Senses with the Mind Essential. We’ll talk about what we will do next when you recover.” The Sword Master’s voice sounded suddenly from the Rusted Sword. He sounded a little tired.
Ding Hao was shocked and then immediately said with joy, “Have you integrated with the Sword Spirit Embryo of the Rusted Sword?”
“Yes, the integration can be said to be a success. Fortunately, the original Sword Soul of the Sword Spirit of the Rusted Sword had been seriously injured and has died. It has lost consciousness, leaving only the most primitive vital essence. That’s why I could integrate with it so easily. I was just lucky.” The Sword Master sighed with emotion.
Almost at the same time, the Saber Master’s voice sounded. “It took you such a long time to integrate with a dead vital essence embryo. The older you are, the more useless you are.”
It seemed that the Saber Master had also integrated with the Saber Spirit Embryo of the Devil Saber.
She was indeed faster than the Sword Master.
There was also a strong sense of exhaustion in her voice, which she couldn’t hide.
The Sword Master snorted and said, “Crazy woman, you are parading your ability. You must have consumed a lot of Power of the Origin. Let’s see how you will nurture the Devil Saber in the future. Haha, if my guess is right, there is also something strange in the inner world of the Devil Saber.”
Ding Hao grinned and let them argue. He began to run the Mind Essential to restore his Divine Senses.
When Ding Hao came out of the secret training room, it was already sunset. The blood-red afterglow shone on the ground.
The messenger of the Nalan family appeared outside the Red Stone Manor.
“My master has no time to come here. He ordered me to deliver a message. You’d better release Madam Wuyan, and the Nalan family will no longer hold you responsible for this issue. Otherwise, with the rage of Nalan, millions of people will die. You are just a small Escort Agency. You’d better not ask for trouble.”
The messenger of the Nalan family was a haughty middle-aged man. He said those words loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking…
Swoosh!
A streak of scorching Sword Qi cut through the void.
The middle-aged man’s expression changed greatly. When he tried to dodge, the Sword Qi had swept past his body. The look of horror froze on his face. But after a while, there seemed to be no feeling of his body being cut, as if the Sword Qi were soft and powerless. Even his clothes were intact.
“What’s going on?
“Could it be that the sword light and Sword Qi are merely for show?”
“Ha…” The middle-aged man was about to laugh loudly.
But at this moment, with a crash, all his clothes and his armor were burned. The strange flame almost instantly spread all over his body. All his belongings, including the Storage Ring, Precious Weapons, clothes and armor, and even his hair, eyebrows, beard, and so on, turned into ashes in an instant.
The wind blew, and the middle-aged man was instantly naked.
“It’s just a small lesson this time. Go back and tell Nalan Xingde that my patience can’t last long. If he still doesn’t come, the so-called Madam Wuyan and other masters of the Nalan family will be sold to the slave market.” Ding Hao’s voice sounded from the manor.
The middle-aged man was shocked and furious. He released his Qi to cover his naked body, and then he roared. “Barbarians of the Vast Ocean, you will pay the price. I’ll show no mercy to you…”
As he spoke, he fled.
With his status, he would definitely become a laughingstock if he appeared naked in the city.
At the same time, Ding Hao was standing quietly in front of the front hall of the manor.
Shan Xiong, Jin Keyan, and the others were all standing behind him. Nalan Chu wanted to say something but hesitated. She always felt that she was causing trouble for her master and she was a drag on him. Her heart was full of guilt and unease.
But Nalan Youxia still looked silly and carefree.
“I’m going out for a while. You stay in the manor and set up a defense formation. Don’t let anyone in. If the masters of the Nalan family come to attack you, set up a fatal formation. If there are God Realm Masters among them, release this Warning Sword. I’ll be here soon.” Ding Hao ordered in a low voice.
“My Lord, where are you going? Do you need me to go with you?” asked Shan Xiong in a hurry.
“Yes, My Lord. Let me go with you,” said Jin Keyan. As Ding Hao’s personal bodyguard, he had not made any contributions since he followed Ding Hao. He was always ready to serve Ding Hao.
Ding Hao smiled and said, “I can only go there alone this time. You all stay here.”
As he spoke, Ding Hao summoned the Rusted Sword. With a push of his palm, the Rusted Sword was sent directly to the front hall. It would guard this place.
The Sword Master had integrated with the Sword Spirit Embryo in the Rusted Sword and could now slightly activate the Rusted Sword. In a short time, he could release the forbidden power in it. With it guarding the manor, Ding Hao was much more relieved.
In the next moment, with a single movement, he disappeared.
“What is he going to do?” asked Jin Keyan puzzledly.
Shan Xiong slightly shook his head.
Nalan Chu also looked worriedly at the place where Ding Hao disappeared.
The big black dog and the Demon King Evil Moon were lazily lying on the steps in front of the hall to bask in the evening sun. Ding Hao had told them before that they could not follow him this time.
“Meow. There is no need to worry about him. Anyway, good people don’t live long, and vermins live for thousands of years. Look at the Human Pet. It’s only him who makes trouble for others. No one is able to take advantage of him,” said the Demon King Evil Moon calmly. “I have a hunch that someone is going to have bad luck this time.”
After leaving the Red Stone Manor, Ding Hao changed his appearance and slowed down his pace. He was strolling leisurely in the city.
Almost at the same time, in a mysterious place, someone suddenly opened his eyes and he looked happily surprised. He said, “Found him. He finally appeared. Humph, no matter who you are, you can’t escape from me.”
The next moment, the man also disappeared from where he was.
Ding Hao seemed to have no idea that his whereabouts had been exposed.
He strolled leisurely in the city and took time to have a bowl of noodles at a roadside stall. He had also visited a few small shops and had bought some small gifts for the little baby Ding Tianshuang and his confidantes.
After he finished doing all this, darkness finally enveloped the earth.
The main streets of the Stone Mouth City were already brightly lit and it looked as if it were daytime. Ding Hao walked leisurely in the crowd. Gradually, he walked out of the main streets and toward a place in the distance where there were only a few people.
The Stone Mouth City covered a vast area. As Ding Hao walked, he gradually approached the Saint-alighting Mountain Range.
This was the starting place where the God’s Palace had planned to hunt Ding Shengtan down.
In the night, the towering peaks of the Saint-alighting Mountain Range were like giant man-eating beasts lurking in the dark. The green forest sounded as if it were howling in the wind, which made people shudder.
There was a smile at the corners of Ding Hao’s mouth.
Just as he was about to enter the forest in the dark, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. The somber darkness could not hide her golden long hair. Her beautiful and perfect body had a unique charm in the night. People would be deeply attracted by her beauty.
It was the Mermaid Princess of the Sea Clan.
Ding Hao frowned slightly.
“Don’t go into the mountain range. Return to the bustling area immediately.” The Mermaid Princess looked at Ding Hao as if she were looking at something strange. She said, “You have been targeted. Once you enter the Saint-alighting Mountain Range, you will be doomed to die.”
Ding Hao loosened his brows and smiled faintly. “How did you recognize me?”
“That’s not important.” The Mermaid Princess urged him. “Hurry up and leave. Someone has skillfully placed a mark of Divine Senses on you with a secret method. They have long discovered you. It’s not convenient to fight in the downtown area, but once you enter this desolate mountain range, you’re simply courting death.”
Ding Hao still said unhurriedly, “I see. Thank you for reminding me, Your Highness… I was frightened. I thought you were here to take back the Primordial Concentrated Ore.”
Now it was the Mermaid Princess who was frowning. “If you delay any longer, even immortals can’t save you. Leave now.”
Ding Hao cupped his hands and said, “Why do you help me, Your Highness?”
The Mermaid Princess’s figure gradually faded into the darkness and became hazy. She said, “You look a little bit like an acquaintance of mine… That’s all I have to say. Leave quickly.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared into the dark void.
With a smile on his face, Ding Hao slightly shook his head. In the next moment, he did not turn to leave. Instead, he flashed and entered the vast Saint-alighting Mountain Range, disappearing into the night.
In the next moment, the Mermaid Princess appeared again. Looking at the place where Ding Hao disappeared, she was a little angry. She snorted and said, “You really don’t know chalk from cheese. You give up only at the sight of the gallows. You’re courting death yourself today. Don’t blame me.”
She stamped her feet in exasperation. After hesitating for a moment, she finally decided to follow him.
About fifteen minutes passed after the Mermaid Princess disappeared. In the dark night sky, invisible figures flitted across the void, rushing toward the inner area of the Saint-alighting Mountain Range like black flowing lights.
The leader had long black hair which was dancing in the air. His face was fair and handsome. It was Ding Sha from the God’s Palace.
Behind him were his trusted masters.
“Haha, there is a way to heaven, but you didn’t go. There is no door to hell, but you broke in. If you had been staying in the downtown area, I would have to put in a lot of effort. But you have come to the desolated Saint-alighting Mountain Range. It will save me a lot of trouble.”
In the night, there was a murderous look on Ding Sha’s face.
In the blink of an eye, the feedback from the mark of Divine Senses became clearer and clearer. Ding Sha’s eyes lit up. He stared at the towering stone peak in front of him. Swooping down, he said, “He’s there. Surround this place on all sides. Don’t let him escape.”
His trusted masters behind him obeyed the order. As they moved forward, there were arcs of flowing light in the void. They surrounded the whole mountain peak from all directions. With a wave of their hands, dark cyan pillars flew out of their palms and floated in the void. The 108 pillars released inscription marks, which were flickering in the void. They had completely blocked the entire space.
Ding Sha landed slowly on the top of the stone peak with ten masters who were the most powerful among the trusted masters.
Under the bright moonlight, everything on the stone peak could be seen at a glance. A slender figure in a cyan robe was standing quietly on the edge of the cliff. He looked as aloof as an immortal and had an indescribable amazing charm. He looked like an exiled immortal who was standing with his back to the mortal world.
“You are finally here.”
The figure in a cyan robe slowly turned around. Under the moonlight, his face was so handsome that he was almost demon-like. His eyes were brighter than the brightest stars in the sky. The night wind was blowing his thick black hair and he looked even more handsome. His appearance was perfect to the extreme.
