Two hundred miles north of Cloud Sky City was the Land of Chaos. The Land of Chaos spanned nearly three thousand miles and was a neutral zone between the Tiandō League and the Evil ways.
There were many neutral zones like this, but the Land of Chaos was one of the bigger ones.
The Land of Chaos didn't belong to any faction. There were no laws and no one cared about killing or robbing. Everything depended on the weapons in their hands. Every day, there would be blood and innocent lives would be lost.
In comparison, whether it was Cloud Sky City's territory or the Northwest Qin Family's territory, it was peaceful and could be called a paradise.
Therefore, warriors with low cultivations could only walk around the territories of famous sects. Although they had to pay taxes and were not very free, at least they didn't have to worry about their lives.
*****
The next afternoon, Yang Dingtian had already traveled two hundred miles. This was a castle at the edge of Cloud Sky City in the northeast.
Of course, this castle was much smaller than the Black Blood Castle or even the Abyss Castle. It only had two hundred warriors.
As long as he walked out of this stone door, he would lose the protection of order and enter a barbaric environment where the strong preyed on the weak.
Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and galloped his horse towards the northeast.
The reason why he chose to ride a horse instead of a flying beast was because flying beasts could only fly within Cloud Sky City's territory. Once they left the territory, they would be shot down immediately.
At this moment, Yang Dingtian wore a human skin mask and turned into an ordinary youth with a hint of delicateness. Even his weapon was decorated and the clothes he wore could be considered expensive. In addition, there were close to ten Great Mystic Martial Masters and Black Blood Cavalry experts. In the Land of Chaos, ordinary factions wouldn't dare to provoke them.
After galloping for more than an hour, Yang Dingtian traveled another hundred miles. At this moment, the color of the ground had slowly turned from blood red to light red.
This area was indeed a lawless zone. Along the way, Yang Dingtian saw at least a dozen fights. Nearly half of them resulted in deaths. In just a little over an hour, he saw more than a dozen people die. When passersby saw it, they ignored it.
This Land of Chaos was indeed lawless, dangerous, and chaotic.
Of course, Yang Dingtian didn't meddle in other people's business.
This was because it was very difficult to distinguish between right and wrong in these fights. Basically, both sides were not good people.
Moreover, time was of the essence, and he did not have the time to care about it.
*****
There was a river in front of them. It was about 30 meters wide and there was a wooden bridge over it.
"Everyone who crosses the bridge will be charged one silver coin. If you have a mount, you will be charged an additional two coins." Dozens of fierce-looking muscular men stood at the head of the bridge, holding weapons in their hands as they passed through the crowd.
Of course, they weren't the ones who built the bridge. They were just taking the opportunity to amass wealth.
One of Yang Dingtian's bodyguards immediately drew his sword and wanted to kill this group of people. After all, with their current strength, killing these people would be a piece of cake.
Yang Dingtian waved his hand to stop him. He then tossed a Gold Coin over. However, his eyes revealed a warning light. If the other party continued to cause trouble, Yang Dingtian wouldn't mind starting a massacre.
As expected, those hooligans didn't dare to act rashly.
Yang Dingtian led his ten Black Blood Cavalry brothers and charged across the bridge.
However, what made him not know whether to laugh or cry was that after crossing the bridge, someone had set up a checkpoint at the end of the bridge.
"Everyone who crosses the bridge will be charged one silver coin. If you have a mount, you will be charged an additional two coins."
The leader of the hooligans who set up the checkpoint at the end of the bridge waved the steel sword in his hand. However, this time, he was a wretched skinny youth.
This was too arrogant. A short wooden bridge of ten Zhang actually wanted to charge two tolls.
To be honest, such a wooden bridge could be built with more than ten Silver Coins.
Yang Dingtian frowned and tossed another Gold Coin over.
One Gold Coin was equivalent to one hundred Silver Coins. In fact, it was slightly more.
The wretched youth's eyes suddenly lit up. He thought that he had encountered a big fat sheep that was afraid of trouble.
"Oh, I misspoke. The toll is one Gold Coin per person. If you have a mount, you will be charged an additional two Gold Coins."
The wretched youth smiled treacherously. His eyes revealed a trace of ominous light. It was obvious that he was planning to murder for money.
"You are courting death." Yang Dingtian's eyes suddenly turned cold. He directly pulled out his sword and slashed down.
"You dare? I am a member of the Crocodile Gang … Ah …"
Before he could finish his words, blood splattered everywhere. The wretched youth's head was directly chopped off. The surrounding hooligans were instantly stunned.
Without waiting for Yang Dingtian's order, the ten experts of the Black Blood Cavalry directly divided into two groups and killed all the hooligans at the head of the bridge and the end of the bridge.
After killing, Yang Dingtian led the ten Black Blood Cavalry and quickly left.
Of course, no one would care about it.
… …
After that, Yang Dingtian kept galloping on his horse. By the time the sky turned dark, he had already traveled more than four hundred Li.
In the short three hundred Li, Yang Dingtian had already paid the toll eight times. He had been extorted four times and was targeted by four or five groups of people who wanted to kill him for money.
Therefore, even though Yang Dingtian was unwilling, he still killed three people.
He finally understood that in the Chaotic Lands, unless one's martial arts were extremely high, it was impossible not to kill.
If you didn't kill, you would be killed.
From morning to night, they had traveled a total of seven hundred Li. Although this speed was fast enough, it still wasn't enough.
Therefore, they couldn't rest at night and still had to rush on.
In front of them was a town called Black Wind Town.
The town wasn't big. It had a small auction house, a few inns, a few restaurants, two or three carriage shops, and two brothels for warriors to eat and rest.
Yang Dingtian wanted to rest for a short while, eat a meal, change horses, and rush on through the night.
Entering a restaurant, it was already crowded with people. Yang Dingtian and his ten brothers found a remote place to sit down. They ordered ordinary food and a few bottles of strong wine. Although they didn't taste good, at least they weren't poisonous.
There were many people here, and many people spoke in various languages. Some were shouting loudly, some were drinking games. In short, the hall was noisy. Moreover, this group of people hadn't bathed for a long time. In short, the air was filled with an unpleasant stench.
"Have you heard?
That trash from Cloud Sky City, Yang Dingtian. He's awesome. "Suddenly, someone beside Yang Dingtian said loudly to his deskmate.
"That lunatic?
The one who practiced the Pig Slaying Swordsmanship and is still an Enlightener at the age of twenty? "someone asked.
"Your news is outdated. He's not an Enlightener anymore. He's now a Mystic Martial Artist," that person said. "Just two days ago, he fought with Cloud Sky City's Tang Li in public and won.
Isn't that awesome? He's a salted fish that has turned over. "
At this time, a one-eyed man snorted. "What do you know?
Do you really think Yang Dingtian broke through to Mystic Martial Artist by relying on his talent?
Relying on normal means to break through more than ten levels in five days? Dream on!
Do you know what he used to break through? "
Instantly, Yang Dingtian's ears perked up. The ten brothers of the Black Blood Cavalry also perked up their ears. Some of them even put their hands on the weapons at their waists.
"He relied on an evil technique. He relied on absorbing a woman's Mystic Qi to break through," that one-eyed man said evilly.
Instantly, Yang Dingtian was furious. He didn't expect the rumor to spread so quickly. In just a few days, it had already spread to the Chaotic Lands.
Without a doubt, this was Qin Shaobai's doing. This one-eyed man in front of him was one of the many people who received money to spread the rumor.
"Do you know which woman's Mystic Qi he absorbed?" the one-eyed man asked.
"Who?" Everyone's eyes widened.
"Madam Ximen …" the one-eyed man said evilly.
Instantly, everyone breathed heavily and said, "Damn, this Madam Ximen was the number one beauty in the Northwest Continent. This Yang Dingtian is really lucky."
Instantly, the Black Blood Cavalry brothers' eyes turned cold. They were about to draw their weapons and kill someone.
Yang Dingtian stopped them with his gaze. There were many people spreading such rumors. He couldn't kill all of them.
After eight days, as long as he defeated Qin Shaobai, the rumor would collapse and Madam Ximen's reputation would be restored.
After that, Yang Dingtian focused on eating. He didn't care about these rumors. After all, they were all unbearable words.
At this moment, the noisy dining hall suddenly became silent.
Instantly, it became so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard. Not only did everyone stop talking, they also stopped eating.
"Clang, clang, clang …"
Immediately after, there was the sound of bowls and chopsticks falling to the ground. It was as if someone was so shocked that they couldn't even hold the bowls and chopsticks in their hands.
Yang Dingtian couldn't help but raise his head. He saw that everyone was looking in the same direction.
Yang Dingtian followed their gazes.
Instantly, all the hair on his body stood on end. All the pores on his body shrunk, and cold sweat burst out.
The person who came in was a woman. She was wearing a veil and a tight black dress.
From head to toe, only his eyes were exposed. Even his hands were covered in black gloves.
This pair of eyes was captivating and extremely beautiful.
Being looked at by this pair of eyes, it was as if one was going to lose their soul.
Furthermore, her figure was filled with a devilish charm. It was like the undulating mountains and rivers. It completely explained the meaning of devilish curves.
Just a pair of eyes was enough to make everyone in the dining hall lose their souls. They couldn't even hold the bowls and chopsticks in their hands.
Only Yang Dingtian's heart was beating violently, and his body instantly turned cold.
This woman was … the demonic woman, Dugu Fengwu!
The Dugu Fengwu who killed people like scything flax.
The genius demonic woman of Evil ways. The daughter of the great demonic king, Dugu Xiao.
He didn't expect that she would actually appear here.
Yang Dingtian immediately lowered his head to eat and drink. He could only silently hope that he was wearing a mask and wouldn't be recognized by her.
After all, she once said that the next time she met Yang Dingtian, she would tear him into pieces. Yang Dingtian didn't dare to not take the demonic woman's words seriously.
When things didn't go as planned, Yang Dingtian didn't want her to notice him. However, this demonic woman actually noticed him.
Dugu Fengwu's captivating eyes actually landed on Yang Dingtian's face. After that, she stared at Yang Dingtian's face.
In an instant, Yang Dingtian felt as if he was going to suffocate.
This demonic woman was someone who would kill without batting an eyelid.
If she really recognized him, she would definitely slash him down with her sword.
"Motherf * cker. I have lived for half my life and have never seen such a woman. If I were to f * ck her once, I wouldn't die in vain." At this moment, the one-eyed man who spread rumors about Yang Dingtian was panting and trembling.
In an instant, Yang Dingtian couldn't help but look at him as if he was looking at an idiot.
This guy must be tired of living. He actually dared to blaspheme this demonic woman. Was he afraid that he wouldn't die quickly enough?
As expected, the demonic woman's gaze left Yang Dingtian and landed on the one-eyed man's face.
Yang Dingtian's heart relaxed. He then waited for the demonic woman to start her massacre. He only hoped that she wouldn't implicate him.
However, to Yang Dingtian's surprise, the demonic woman only frowned slightly. She then said indifferently, "I want the best private room."
"Okay, okay, please go upstairs …" The waiter of the restaurant couldn't even speak properly. He quickly led the way.
After that, the demonic woman directly walked up the stairs.
Yang Dingtian let out a long sigh of relief. All the other men's breathing instantly became heavy. Their eyes were burning with passion.
When the demonic woman walked up the stairs, that incomparably moving back view was enough to destroy any man's rationality.
"No, I must get my hands on her!"
That one-eyed man panted and said, "Otherwise, I would have lived my life in vain. Even if I die immediately, I must die under this Mu Dan flower."
"This idiot is dead meat." Yang Dingtian sneered in his heart.
"Hurry up and eat. We'll be on our way after eating." Yang Dingtian didn't want to stay in this restaurant for a second longer with the demonic woman in it.
This was because once the demonic woman started killing, she didn't like to kill one by one. Instead, she liked to kill in groups. In other words, she would kill everyone in her sight.
A few minutes later, Yang Dingtian and his ten brothers quickly finished eating. They immediately rode on their horses and set off. They didn't even have time to change horses.
Wherever the demonic woman was, it was better to stay as far away as possible.
Yang Dingtian wouldn't be surprised if the demonic woman killed everyone in the town in a fit of rage.
*****
After running for nearly a hundred miles, Yang Dingtian's heart finally relaxed a little.
Moreover, the horse under him was so tired that it was about to lose its strength. They would definitely have to change horses in the next town.
Because the horse was exhausted, Yang Dingtian and his group's speed was much slower.
Furthermore, there was no town, so Yang Dingtian could not change horses.
"This demoness can't be rushing back to the Temple of Blood, right?
Please don't. "Yang Dingtian prayed in his heart.
With the demoness in the Temple of Ten Thousand Blood, not only would Yang Dingtian not be able to enter the Ten Thousand Blood Pool to cultivate, he would also lose his life.
The Fringe was much quieter at night. Perhaps it was even more sinister, but it was all covered by the darkness, making it hard to see.
But along the way, they basically didn't meet anyone.
In the dark night, the sound of Yang Dingtian's horse hooves was particularly clear.
"Da da da …"
Suddenly, the sound of hooves came from behind Yang Dingtian. It was much faster than Yang Dingtian and the others.
He couldn't help but turn around to take a look, and he was scared out of his wits.
It was actually that demonic woman, Dugu Fengwu. She had actually caught up.
Yang Dingtian instinctively reached for his artifact sword, but he quickly put it down. What was the point of drawing his sword in front of a demonic woman?
Dugu Fengwu's speed was very fast, and she caught up to Yang Dingtian in the blink of an eye. Her soul-sucking eyes were staring at Yang Dingtian.
Could she have recognized him?
If that was the case, then he was truly in a dead end.
But immediately after, the demonic woman, Dugu Fengwu, said something that made Yang Dingtian completely astonished.
"Mister, quickly save me. There are people chasing after me, and they want to molest me!" Dugu Fengwu's beautiful eyes were filled with panic as she pleaded to Yang Dingtian with a trembling voice.
Yang Dingtian couldn't help but exclaim, "What kind of trick is this demonic woman playing?!"
Immediately after, he saw over a dozen men chasing after them frantically. The leader was that one-eyed man who spread rumors about Yang Dingtian. His remaining eye shot out an evil and fiery gaze.
"Great beauty, don't run. Follow me, and I will definitely let you live a good life!"
At this moment, Dugu Fengwu was even more terrified as she pleaded to Yang Dingtian, "This big brother, I beg you. Save me, save me!"
