Nine Yang Sword Saint-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 priest’s robe and gave Dongfang Bingling a white female priest’s 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 wasn’t incapable of punishing the Northwest Qin City. Despite Qin Wanchou’s overwhelming authority, Dongfang Bingling’s status was still very high in the Heaven Dao Union, even higher than Qin Wanchou. Although she was not the Yin Yang Sect’s 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 subordinate’s welcome. As for Qin Huaiyu’s 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 didn’t 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 couldn’t help but feel convinced.

“Then what about Yang Dingtian? How are you preparing to deal with him?” Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but ask.

When the question was asked, Dongfang Bingling turned around and stared at Yang Dingtian’s face. Yang Dingtian, of course, still had the face of Shen Lang.

“Alright, treat it as I didn’t 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 isn’t a serious person. For the martial competition, he is probably going to fail.”

After hearing Dongfang Bingling’s 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 didn’t 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 isn’t necessary to look up to anyone.”

When this statement was out, Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but feel astonished. He didn’t think that Dongfang Bingling would be thinking at this angle. Furthermore, from her tone, she didn’t seem to have any respect for the Hidden Sect.

“Don’t 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 Union’s 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 didn’t 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 wasn’t any particular awkward or chilly situation.

Dongfang Bingling seemingly treated Shen Lang as a close friend and wouldn’t 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 didn’t think it was worth it to tell any lies and wouldn’t pry into any of your secrets. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian was able to trust her character and didn’t have to worry about telling her even the most secretive things. She was actually much more magnanimous than most men.

Of course, Yang Dingtian didn’t 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 didn’t 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 Qingzhu’s 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 Wuya’s 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 hadn’t 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 Bingling’s 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 isn’t 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 can’t regret.” Dongfang Bingling spoke firmly.

Afterward, the two of them were in silence.

Yang Dingtian wasn’t happy with Dongfang Bingling’s final words. Dongfang Bingling didn’t bother if Yang Dingtian were happy or not. If Yang Dingtian weren’t willing to talk, she definitely wouldn’t 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 Race’s territory.

He was preparing to leave the East Parting Grassland with Dongfang Bingling and return to the human continent. But the Foxman Race’s 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 priest’s long robes and had directly entered the Foxman Race’s territory gate. They were heading straight for Zhuri Beila’s castle. Yang Dingtian wasn’t 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 chieftain’s 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 Beila’s 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 chieftain’s castle, he saw Zhuri Beila’s 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 didn’t really know how to conceal his emotions.

Behind him were over a dozen Foxman Race’s experts.

After seeing Yang Dingtian, Zhuri Beila’s 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 Dingtian’s 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 couldn’t 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.

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 Senior’s 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 letter’s 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 Bingling’s 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? Let’s 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 don’t 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 Dingtian’s 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 couldn’t 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 doesn’t know that I am Yang Dingtian. Perhaps she doesn’t 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!”
