[PS: First update. There will be a ten-thousand-word update today. Begging for monthly votes.]
Riding on the Golden Griffin, Yang Dingtian frantically urged it to fly.
Fly, fly, fly. Fly at the fastest speed possible!
Yang Dingtian wasn't safe enough now. As long as the Temple of Blood found Dugu Fengwu, Yang Dingtian would be exposed.
Therefore, the pursuers could come at any time, and they would definitely come.
Therefore, Yang Dingtian had to make use of this precious time to fly as far away as possible from the Temple of Blood.
As long as he flew out of the Temple of Blood's sphere of influence and entered the neutral Land of Chaos, he wouldn't have to be afraid.
The Land of Chaos was filled with all sorts of people.
As one of the Evil ways, the Temple of Blood definitely wouldn't dare to enter the Land of Chaos openly.
Yang Dingtian drove the Golden Griffin to fly frantically.
After flying over a few hundred miles of the Rapture River, there were no pursuers.
After flying over a thousand miles of the Temple of Blood's sphere of influence, there were still no pursuers. Yang Dingtian's tensed heart gradually relaxed.
After flying over a thousand miles of almost no man's land, there were still no pursuers.
It was a pity that this Golden Griffin's speed was far inferior to that incomparably huge Bloodthirsty Bat.
Finally, after six hours of flying and over two thousand miles, Yang Dingtian left the Temple of Blood's sphere of influence.
Then, after more than two hours of flying, they crossed the Netherworld Swamp, which weighed thousands of kilograms.
*****
Finally, Yang Dingtian entered the neutral Land of Chaos.
He was basically safe here. As long as Yang Dingtian disguised himself slightly, he would be able to blend into the crowd.
Yang Dingtian let out a breath of relief, but he still felt a little strange.
Why were there no pursuers?
Could it be that they didn't discover the Dugu sisters?
Or perhaps Dugu Aoshuang didn't say anything and even helped him cover up?
Otherwise, there would definitely be pursuers. It was really strange.
However, Yang Dingtian didn't have time to think so much. He was already very lucky to be able to escape alive.
After entering the Fringe, one would have to land because the place was too chaotic. Flying in the sky would be too one-sided and one could be shot down at any time.
Moreover, only by blending into the chaotic crowd would one be truly safe.
Of course, a heaven-defying expert like Dugu Fengwu could strut around wherever she went.
At the edge of the Fringe, there weren't many people.
Yang Dingtian found a deserted place at the southern edge of the Netherworld Swamp and descended from the sky.
After that, he knocked the Golden Lion Vulture unconscious and took off Dugu Fengwu's elegant clothes. He took off his mask and changed into an unremarkable silk robe from his spatial ring. After that, he used the disguise technique that Ximen Ningning had taught him to disguise himself into a person who looked rather glamorous on the surface, but was actually in dire straits.
Immediately after, Yang Dingtian used his fastest speed to rush to the southern edge of the Netherworld Swamp. This was the place where he and the Black Blood Cavalry brothers had agreed to meet.
Yang Dingtian needed these ten Black Blood Cavalry brothers to escort him back to the Cloud Heaven City. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian was very concerned about their safety.
However, when Yang Dingtian arrived at the meeting place, he didn't see the figures of the ten Black Blood Cavalry brothers.
Moreover, there were a few bloodstains in the reeds.
However, there didn't seem to be many traces of battle.
It seemed that even with the cultivation of the Black Blood Cavalry experts, they didn't have enough time to fight.
Yang Dingtian's heart jumped. What happened?
Could the Black Blood Cavalry brothers have met Dugu Fengwu?
After searching the surroundings again, he still couldn't find any traces of the ten Black Blood Cavalry brothers.
Yang Dingtian wasn't willing to give up and searched everywhere like a madman.
However, after searching for close to two hours, he still couldn't find any traces.
There was no note, no secret signal, and no half a warhorse.
The ten Black Blood Cavalry brothers seemed to have evaporated into thin air and disappeared into thin air.
Yang Dingtian was very upset, but he couldn't waste any more time.
At this moment, there were less than forty hours before the duel with Qin Shaobai.
This place was close to four thousand miles away from the Cloud Heaven City.
Yang Dingtian was in trouble. Without the escort of the ten Black Blood Cavalry experts, he couldn't escape.
With just Yang Dingtian alone, it was almost impossible for him to reach the Cloud Heaven City within the stipulated time.
The Land of Chaos was simply too chaotic.
After searching for over an hour, Yang Dingtian still couldn't find any traces of the Black Blood Cavalry brothers.
He couldn't delay any longer. Furthermore, the Temple of Blood's pursuers would arrive at any moment.
Yang Dingtian could only give up first and send people to search for the whereabouts of the ten Black Blood Cavalry brothers in the future.
*****
Yang Dingtian used his fastest speed to run out of the no man's land at the edge of the swamp. After spending two hours, he arrived at a town.
At this moment, there were still thirty-five hours before the duel with Qin Shaobai.
Thirty-five hours to run close to four thousand miles.
If Yang Dingtian was alone and constantly switched to the best mounts, there might still be a chance.
However, if Yang Dingtian was alone, there would be countless obstacles along the way. The Land of Chaos was the most dangerous region. The possibility of Yang Dingtian successfully covering four thousand miles by himself was absolutely zero.
Then, should he find a mercenary group to escort him?
Not to mention that the mercenary groups in the Land of Chaos were ruthless and ruthless. Killing and robbing were common occurrences. Even if they were escorting him normally …
It was absolutely impossible to cover four thousand miles in thirty hours.
Therefore, it seemed that Yang Dingtian was at his wit's end.
"Master, I really didn't want to look for them. I didn't expect that I would still have to look for them." Yang Dingtian sighed in his heart.
He really didn't want to look for this faction, but he had no other choice at the moment.
Therefore, Yang Dingtian found an inconspicuous restaurant in the town.
Outside the restaurant, there was a drawing of a strange animal. It had the feet of a deer, the body of a snake, the legs of a lion, and the claws of a phoenix.
This was the Tiandō League's secret stronghold. This stronghold belonged to the Yin-Yang school.
There were as many experts as there were clouds in the stronghold. They had the fastest and most powerful mounts that could travel more than two thousand miles in a day.
It was natural for the Tiandō League to have strongholds in the Land of Chaos. These strongholds became the intelligence stations of the major sects.
Anyone who said the correct entry point would receive the greatest help from the Tiandō League stronghold.
The other party didn't ask for any reason or conditions. They just needed to say the secret code and entry point.
These secret codes were set by the Yin-Yang school. Without a doubt, because of Dongfang Minmie, Yang Dingtian knew all the secret codes of the Yin-Yang school strongholds.
If he didn't have a choice, Yang Dingtian really didn't want to use any of the Yin-Yang school's forces.
After taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian walked into the Yin-Yang school stronghold and said to the shopkeeper, "Give me a bird fish from the Eastern Cloud State. Prepare an underground room for me. No windows, no openings, but the sun must be able to shine in."
The shopkeeper's eyebrows trembled slightly as he said, "Follow me!"
Then, Yang Dingtian followed him to the underground secret room.
"What do you want?" After entering the secret room, the shopkeeper didn't ask any questions and directly asked.
Yang Dingtian replied, "Five experts at the Martial Mystic level and above to protect me. At least one Martial Ancestor level expert.
The fastest mounts to escort me to Cloud Sky City. "
"Okay, please wait a moment!" The shopkeeper walked out of the secret room.
At this time, there were still thirty-four hours until the battle with Qin Shaobai.
… …
Ten minutes later, Yang Dingtian rode the fastest mounts to Cloud Sky City under the protection of eight experts.
This was the fastest mounts on the continent, covering a distance of two hundred miles in an hour.
Among the eight experts, five were Martial Mystic level experts and three were Martial Ancestor level experts.
Although such a team wasn't the strongest in the Bedlam Lands, without any Heavenly Treasures, no one in the Bedlam Lands was willing to provoke such a team because the losses outweighed the gains.
… …
He didn't eat, didn't sleep, and didn't rest.
Yang Dingtian was in a frenzy as he traveled through the night sky and was as fast as lightning.
After thirty hours, Yang Dingtian had traveled four thousand miles!
In front of him was a large river. This could be considered the end of the Bedlam Lands.
On the other side of the river was Cloud Sky City's sphere of influence.
A few days ago, Yang Dingtian had crossed this river and entered the Bedlam Lands, embarking on an arduous and dangerous journey.
In the end, his efforts didn't go to waste. He had successfully broken through in the Blood Pool.
However, thinking about his experiences during this period of time, Yang Dingtian let out a long sigh.
Although it had only happened a few days ago, too many things had happened during this period of time. It was too thrilling, so it felt like a few years.
Looking at the faintly visible Cloud Sky City, Yang Dingtian gritted his teeth and said, "Qin Shaobai, I did all of this for you. Wait for me, I'll fight you to the death!"
"Cross the river!" Yang Dingtian suddenly raised his mount and quickly crossed the stone bridge, entering Cloud Sky City's territory.
At this time, the two suns were almost in the middle of the sky.
Once the sun was in the middle of the sky, it would be the final moment of the battle.
Therefore, there were less than two hours left before the deadline.
And the distance to Cloud Sky City was only a little more than a hundred miles.
*****
At this time, in Cloud Sky City, there was a surging tide of people. Tens of thousands of people surrounded the battle arena, which was set up in the largest square in Cloud Sky City.
Everyone looked at the two suns in the sky, waiting for the final moment to arrive, or perhaps Yang Dingtian's arrival.
Qin Shaobai, dressed in snow-white clothes, stood on the high platform, looking handsome and elegant.
Ximen Yanyan stood on the highest platform in the center, looking east with her beautiful eyes. It was unknown whether she hoped that Yang Dingtian would appear or not.
Madam Ximen's beautiful eyes were red and swollen, and her face was haggard.
It was obvious that the rumors during this period of time had brought her incomparably great harm.
Ximen Ningning looked to the east uneasily and muttered to herself, "Little Tian, I really hope that you don't come."
Ximen Lie also looked to the east and said, "Yang Dingtian, I hope that you can make it, but I also hope that you can't."
The square was filled with people. There were Cloud Sky City's disciples and people from Cloud Sky City's related forces.
This time, there were even more people in the square than in the previous elimination battle.
Not only did Cloud Sky City turn out in full force, but all the forces in the territory were also present.
Ximen Lie even brought nearly a thousand Black Blood Cavalry and sat neatly in a corner of the square. They didn't make any sound, but they had a powerful aura.
Everyone knew that this battle would decide many things.
Everyone was whispering to each other.
"If Yang Dingtian's previous breakthroughs were all because of his incest with Madam Ximen, then he definitely won't appear today!"
"That's right. If that's the case, who knows where he would have escaped to by now."
"However, if he appears and defeats Qin Shaobai, then it means that his breakthrough was based on his own talent.
That proves that his breakthrough was completely due to his heaven-defying talent, and the matter between him and Madam Ximen is just a rumor. "
"That's right. If Yang Dingtian can defeat Qin Shaobai this time.
Then, no matter who spreads rumors about Yang Dingtian in the future, I won't believe it! "
"That's right. If Yang Dingtian can defeat Qin Shaobai this time, then I will firmly support him to become the new Cloud Sky City Lord."
Countless people were discussing spiritedly!
*****
Other than those close to Yang Dingtian, everyone was looking forward to Yang Dingtian's arrival.
Yang Yan walked to Qin Shaobai's side and said indifferently, "We sent out hundreds of people, but we didn't get any news about Yang Dingtian."
"Don't worry, he will come. He's a fool." Qin Shaobai smiled faintly.
"It's even better if he comes. We can settle it once and for all."
Yang Yan said, "Yang Dingtian's talent is too shocking. If you really give him a year and a half, then you won't be his opponent in the martial arts competition for the City Lord's position next year."
Hearing this, Qin Shaobai's face darkened. He then sneered, "But he won't live for a year and a half. It's enough that I'm much stronger than him.
Even if he breaks through two or three levels, he will definitely die.
He doesn't even know how much strength I have hidden. "
Yang Yan smiled faintly, "So, in the duel later, you must kill him instantly. Only then can you shock all the disciples of Cloud Sky City.
Do you understand? "
"Don't worry!" Qin Shaobai said indifferently, "At most, he will die in three moves!"
… …
Eight Tiandō League experts protected Yang Dingtian as they rushed across the wide stone bridge in the shape of an arrow.
This stone bridge was three hundred meters long and twenty meters wide. At this moment, it was empty.
Nine people and nine mounts passed through like the wind.
In front, the incomparably tall and majestic Cloud Sky City was already in sight!
