Tuoba Ye revealed a cold smile and said, "Yan Nantian, you are indeed incredible. I never expected you to be able to break my Dragonfish Transformation.
However, it is still too early to say who will win or lose.
I am only a substitute for the Young Lord. The Young Lord is several times stronger than me. Haha … "
Once he said this, everyone was shocked!
"What?
You are only a substitute? "Yang Dingtian immediately exclaimed.
This' Tuoba Ye 'tore off his face and revealed a pale and ordinary face. He was indeed just a substitute.
"That's right. I am only the Young Lord's sword slave. The Young Lord only sent me to test your strength. Tomorrow, he will personally go up on stage to compete. If he wins, the beauty will belong to him and the pearl will also belong to him." This substitute sneered and said, "Yan Nantian, do you know what level my Young Lord is at?"
"Speak!" Yang Dingtian said.
"He has already broken through to the Great Mystic Martial Master and possesses mystic skills. How are you going to fight?
Haha! "This substitute immediately burst into laughter while vomiting blood.
Instantly, Mu Liancheng and Yang Dingtian's expressions changed drastically!
That's right. The Great Mystic Martial Master was the clearest dividing line for martial artists. It was the symbol of a true expert because the Great Mystic Martial Master could learn mystic skills.
Mystic skills against martial skills would be an instant kill!
Mystic skills and martial skills were as different as heaven and earth.
Finally, that substitute looked at Mu Lianyi's hot and sexy body with greedy eyes and laughed, "Beauty, just wait to be ravaged by my Young Lord!"
Finishing his statement, that substitute suddenly smashed his own head.
"Bang!" There was a loud sound as blood spurted out. This substitute smashed his own head into smithereens and died completely.
Everyone present was shocked!
This substitute didn't die, but he committed suicide in front of everyone.
It could be seen how ruthless and decisive the Raging Flames Castle was.
The grey shadow old man walked to the corpse of this substitute and placed his palm on his chest. He said indifferently, "Don't worry. The Young Lord will avenge you. He will dismember this Yan Nantian into ten thousand pieces. Rest in peace."
"Pfff!" Immediately after, the grey shadow old man spat out mystic qi.
In an instant, the body of the substitute was smashed into pieces.
Then, the grey shadow old man stood up and said, "My name is Grey Eagle, a deacon of the Raging Flames Castle.
Mu Liancheng, tell me honestly. Did you win or lose in our battle just now? "
Mu Liancheng went silent for a moment before replying, "I am not your match."
The grey shadow old man said, "Between you and Yan Nantian, who is stronger?"
Mu Liancheng said, "Yan Nantian isn't my match."
Hui Ying said: "Then I can tell you, I'm not Young Master's opponent. His profound skill, Wind Shadow Devil Sword, can kill me."
Finally, Hui Ying looked at Yan Nantian and sneered, "Do you think you're a match for my Young Master now?
Was the beauty more important?
Was his life more important?
Think about it carefully. "
After saying that, the gray eagle turned into a shadow and left quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Mu Lianyi, wash yourself clean and lie on the bed. Wait for my Young Master's arrival. Also, prepare the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl as your dowry.
Tomorrow, my Young Master will come to participate in the marriage by martial arts competition. "
"Mu Liancheng, don't even think about escaping.
If my Young Master doesn't see you and your daughter when he comes to the martial arts competition tomorrow, he will slaughter all the innocent citizens in the surrounding hundred miles. Hahahaha! "
Finally, Hui Ying's sinister and arrogant laughter echoed in everyone's ears, causing them to tremble in fear.
The entire Mu Clan Docks instantly fell into a deathly silence. Everyone revealed a fearful expression.
*****
"Young Master, you have to leave immediately. Leave with the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl." Mu Liancheng said.
"What about you guys?
What about you guys?
Yang Dingtian.
"My cultivation might have regressed for the past ten years, but I will never bring shame to Cloud Heaven City. Even if I have to die, I will drag a few Raging Flames Castle down with me." Mu Liancheng said.
"I will not leave."
Yang Dingtian said, "Uncle Mu, I don't mind telling you that I really need this Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl because I want to go to the Fire Cloud Devil Cave to forge a soul sword.
But I will never leave. I will advance and retreat with you guys! "
"No way!"
Mu Liancheng said resolutely, "I am someone who should have died long ago. The City Lord saved me, and I am already lucky to have lived for more than ten years.
But Young Master, you are different. You need to kill Ximen Ju and take back Cloud Heaven City. Your life is worth thousands of gold, and you cannot die here.
Take the second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art and the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl and leave immediately. "
Yang Dingtian instantly fell into silence and shook his head resolutely.
Mu Liancheng clenched his teeth and knelt down. "Young Master, if you don't leave, I will kneel here until I die."
Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, "Uncle Mu, I will not leave.
If I were to escape after encountering a mere Tuoba Ye, how am I going to face Ximen Ju in the future?
How am I going to face Dongfang Bingling? "
Mu Liancheng said, "But, but he is already a Great Mystic Martial Master and is two ranks higher than you.
He even has mystic skills. His lethality is a qualitative leap compared to martial skills. "
Yang Dingtian fell into silence!
Great Mystic Martial Master?
Mystic skills?
Wanting to win a battle that was two ranks higher than him was completely a myth, not a reality.
But perhaps, he could change his way of thinking.
"That's right. Tuoba Ye is already a Great Mystic Martial Master and has mystic skills.
I might not be able to defeat him with brute force, but I might be able to outsmart him. "
Yang Dingtian said slowly, "Furthermore, the second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art might bring me an unexpected breakthrough."
"Young Master, you are crazy. Tuoba Ye is 17 ranks higher than you. Crossing two ranks to fight, and no one has ever won in the past thousand years. No one has even survived.
No matter how mystical the Pig Slaying Sword Art is, it will not be able to break through more than ten ranks a second time. "Mu Liancheng exclaimed.
"Uncle Mu, let me practice the second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art first.
If I don't have any hope of winning, then I will not participate. How about that? "Yang Dingtian said," I said it before. I need to outsmart him, not brute force. "
"No, you have to leave." Mu Liancheng knelt on the ground and said resolutely.
Yang Dingtian said with a cold expression, "I am the Young Master. I have the final say. I will never leave."
Mu Liancheng let out a mournful laugh and said, "Young Master, even if the second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art gives you a shocking breakthrough.
Even if you were to defeat Tuoba Ye in tomorrow's contest, so what?
He will never leave obediently just because he lost. The Raging Flames Castle has the advantage in numbers and experts. They will definitely turn hostile and start a massacre to snatch Lianyi and the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl.
By then, you will only die in vain. "
"Therefore, we have to find a virtuous and reputable expert to oversee the contest. If Tuoba Ye loses, the Raging Flames Castle will have to leave obediently." Yang Dingtian asked, "Is there such an expert in the vicinity?"
Mu Liancheng thought for a moment and said, "There is, but this person is reticent and never meddles in other people's business.
I am not afraid to tell you that when the Raging Flames Castle gave us the ultimatum, I had sought his help and was even willing to offer the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. I only asked him to protect the lives of my Mu Clan Docks, but he rejected me. "
Yang Dingtian was instantly astonished. Mu Liancheng was willing to offer the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, but the other party wasn't willing to help. This person had too much character.
"Who is this person?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"Wooden Sword Castle Lord, Li Guinong." Mu Liancheng replied.
"It's him?" Yang Dingtian exclaimed, "The Wooden Sword Castle is nearby?"
"It is less than 300 miles away and is the only reputable sect within a few thousand miles. But ever since Li Tianxiao betrayed the clan, the Wooden Sword Castle had completely declined. They have been living in seclusion in the valley and no longer bother about worldly affairs." Mu Liancheng asked, "Does Young Master know him?"
"I met him once in the Yin-Yang school." Yang Dingtian asked, "How is Li Guinong's cultivation?"
"He is a Martial Ancestor Realm expert. Within a thousand miles, there shouldn't be a match for him." Mu Liancheng replied.
Yang Dingtian was instantly astonished. This Li Guinong didn't look astonished and looked like an old farmer from the countryside. He was actually so formidable.
"Then it's like this."
Yang Dingtian said, "I will go to the Wooden Sword Castle and invite Li Guinong over to the Mu Clan Docks to host tomorrow's contest. I believe that with him around, the Raging Flames Castle wouldn't dare to be impudent."
"But this person is reclusive and will never agree." Mu Liancheng said.
"If we don't try, how would we know?
It's decided then. "
Yang Dingtian said, "I will use my fastest speed to return and begin cultivating the second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art."
*****
Yang Dingtian rode on a fast horse and galloped towards the northeast direction.
The Wooden Sword Castle was once one of the prominent Three Sects and Nine Clans. They were extremely prestigious and powerful.
Every generation of the Wooden Sword Castle would have at least two Master Realm experts.
But ever since the biggest traitor, Li Tianxiao, appeared two hundred years ago, all the experts of the Wooden Sword Castle were killed and the Southwest Alliance Army was poisoned to death.
From then on, the Wooden Sword Castle had completely declined. The mighty and majestic Metal Sword Castle headquarters that spanned across several miles had turned into a pile of ruins. The Wooden Sword Castle was relocated to a remote valley a few hundred miles away.
Yang Dingtian sped with all his might and arrived at the Wooden Sword Valley where the Wooden Sword Castle was located in half an hour later.
There was only one path to enter the valley.
"Halt. The Wooden Sword Castle does not accept guests." Before entering the valley, two sword-wielding warriors came forward to block the path.
Yang Dingtian saw clearly that these two guards didn't have any armor and were wearing coarse clothes. It was obvious that the Wooden Sword Castle was in dire financial straits.
"Please report to Castle Lord Li that an old friend from the Yin-Yang school wishes to meet him." Yang Dingtian bowed while on the horse.
"Yin-Yang school?"
The two guards were startled. Their expressions became incomparably respectful. It was clear that the Yin-Yang school's reputation was illustrious.
"Please wait a moment, esteemed guest. I will go and report this." One of the warriors bowed respectfully and then turned around and ran into the valley.
The other warrior came to the side of the stone table and said to Yang Dingtian, "Esteemed guest, please come and have some tea."
Yang Dingtian sat down. The warrior poured a cup of tea for Yang Dingtian and said with an ashamed expression, "In the countryside, the tea leaves are coarse. Please forgive us esteemed guest."
"That's very good. Thank you, senior brother." Yang Dingtian said.
The Wooden Sword Castle warrior's face was filled with admiration. This disciple was indeed different. He was actually so humble.
Thus, he sat down and chatted with Yang Dingtian. His expression and words were filled with admiration.
It was clear that the Yin-Yang school's halo was too shocking for them.
About ten minutes later, a group of people quickly ran out from the valley. The leader was Wooden Sword Castle's Master, Li Guinong, and his daughter, Shui Hongshao.
Shui Hongshao was still as wild and beautiful as before. She looked somewhat similar to Mu Lianyi.
"Senior brother from the upper sect, your presence brings light to our humble castle. Li Guinong did not welcome you from afar. Please forgive me." Li Guinong bowed deeply when he was about ten meters away from Yang Dingtian.
Yang Dingtian was stunned. Even if he was a disciple of the Yin-Yang school, his seniority was the lowest. This Li Guinong was actually so respectful and addressed him as senior brother.
"Castle Master Li, let's talk inside." Yang Dingtian said.
"Yes, senior brother. Please."
Li Guinong replied respectfully. Instead, it was Shui Hongshao who looked at Yang Dingtian with dissatisfaction and hostility. However, it was unknown why. Perhaps it was because she had been bullied back at the Yin Yang Sect.
*****
In the main hall, Li Guinong invited Yang Dingtian to take a seat and ordered Shui Hongshao to personally serve him tea.
"Hmph!"
After pouring a cup of tea for Yang Dingtian, Shui Hongshao could no longer hold it in. She said softly, "There's no good person in the Yin-Yang school."
As soon as she said this, Li Guinong's expression changed drastically. He shouted, "Shui Hongshao, what nonsense are you talking about? Why aren't you apologizing to senior brother?"
"What's there to apologize for? It's the truth." Shui Hongshao said, "There's no good person in the Yin-Yang school?
Especially that Dongfang Bingling. Not only did she break the engagement, she even injured her own fiance. Brother Yang Dingtian is so nice. "
"Shut up." Li Guinong's body trembled. He pointed at Shui Hongshao and said, "Get out. Get out."
Then, he walked in front of Yang Dingtian and bowed deeply. "My daughter is rude and impetuous. Senior brother, please don't be angry.
I, Li Guinong, will always remember the Yin-Yang school's great kindness. If it wasn't for the Yin-Yang school, the Wooden Sword Fort would have been removed from the Twenty Seven Sects. If senior brother has any orders, the Wooden Sword Fort will definitely do it. "
Yang Dingtian quickly went forward and helped Li Guinong up. He said softly, "Martial Uncle Li, I'm Yang Dingtian!"
"What?" Li Guinong's expression changed drastically. He looked at Yang Dingtian in disbelief.
Then, he quickly walked out and closed all the doors and windows. After confirming that there was no one around, he walked out.
After confirming that there was no one around, he immediately turned around and said in shock, "You, you're really Nephew Yang?
You, how did you appear here? "
Shui Hongshao immediately cried out in surprise. She quickly ran over and grabbed Yang Dingtian's hands. "You, you're really Big Brother Yang Dingtian?"
"It's me." Yang Dingtian took off his mask and revealed his real face.
He had many masks, which Ximen Ningning had placed in his interspatial ring in advance.
Of course, compared to the Illusion Demonic Beast Mask, these masks weren't as realistic. However, if one didn't look very carefully, one wouldn't be able to tell. The Illusion Demonic Beast Mask, on the other hand, was completely alive.
"Ah …" Shui Hongshao still cried out softly. Then, she covered her small mouth with her hand and tried her best to hold back her tears. Her other hand tightly held onto Yang Dingtian. She couldn't say anything for a while.
For some reason, they had only met once and exchanged a few words, but at this moment, they seemed to be incomparably close.
Seeing his daughter's undisguised affection, Li Guinong immediately said awkwardly, "Little girl, go out and guard the door. Don't let anyone come near. I have something to say to your Big Brother Yang."
"En, okay."
Shui Hongshao said softly. She reluctantly let go of Yang Dingtian's hand and said softly, "Big Brother Yang, I'll talk to you later."
After Shui Hongshao left, Li Guinong said softly, "Nephew, the Northwest Qin Clan and Cloud Heaven City are chasing after you.
Not long ago, the Northwest Qin Clan sent someone to give me an ultimatum. They ordered me to kill you immediately if I find you.
Moreover, it seems like they have already sent a group of people into the Southwest Continent to kill you. "
"They know that I came to the Southwest Continent?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"They seem to have sensed something. Anyway, you have to be careful."
Li Guinong said, "How about this? You stay in my Wooden Sword Castle and don't go out. You can leave after this wave of danger passes."
"Thank you, Martial Uncle Li. However, I came here this time because I have another request." Yang Dingtian said.
"Speak," Li Guinong said.
"Does Martial Uncle Li know about the Mu Clan Docks?
I am here for them. "Yang Dingtian said.
"For the matter of the Raging Flames Castle forcing the Mu Clan's young lady to marry?" Li Guinong said, "Nephew, at this point in time, you still have the mood to care about their matters?
This Raging Flames Castle is in cahoots with the Northwest Qin Clan. You will be in great danger. "
"I have no choice."
Yang Dingtian said, "Because Mu Liancheng is a member of Cloud Heaven City and is the most trusted person of City Lord Ximen. They treat me as their Young Lord."
Li Guinong was instantly astonished. "There is such a relationship?"
Yang Dingtian said, "Therefore, I cannot sit by and do nothing. I cannot watch as Mu Lianyi falls into the fire pit. I cannot watch as Tuoba Ye snatches the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl."
Li Guinong remained silent for a moment before he lifted his head and said, "Say it. What do you need me to do?"
Yang Dingtian said, "Even though you have secluded yourself from the world and don't care about the matters of the world, you are still a person of virtue and prestige within a thousand miles.
Tomorrow, Tuoba Ye will personally participate in the spouse finding martial contest.
Even if I defeat him, the Raging Flames Castle will turn hostile and start a massacre to snatch the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl and Mu Lianyi.
Therefore, I request for you to preside over tomorrow's martial contest. If the Raging Flames Castle loses, they will not be able to touch anything belonging to the Mu Clan. "
"What?
You want to have a martial contest with Tuoba Ye?
No way! "
Li Guinong said resolutely, "I know that Tuoba Ye has already broken through to the Great Mystic Martial Master and obtained a mystic skill manual.
You are an absolute prodigy, but you are not a match for him now. No way, you cannot participate in the martial contest. "
Yang Dingtian said, "Later on, I will go back and learn the second rank of the Pig Slaying Sword Art. I hope to have a huge breakthrough.
Furthermore, if there is hope of winning tomorrow, I will participate in the martial contest.
If there is no hope, I will not participate. "
Li Guinong remained silent for a moment and said, "How about this, I will go with you. But you don't have to participate in tomorrow's martial contest. I will let my eldest disciple, Ximen Bao, participate. He has already broken through to the Great Mystic Martial Master and is able to fight with Tuoba Ye."
Yang Dingtian thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, I will listen to Martial Uncle Li's arrangement!"
Li Guinong stood up and said, "Then it is decided. I will immediately go and prepare. We will depart immediately."
"Yes, many thanks to Martial Uncle." Yang Dingtian said respectfully.
His heart was indeed filled with gratitude. Li Guinong was really unrelated to him, but he was willing to break his seclusion and get involved in this dispute.
After Li Guinong left, Shui Hongshao quietly jumped in. She looked at Yang Dingtian with a rosy face and said gently, "Big Brother Yang, are you still going to leave this time?"
Before Yang Dingtian replied, Shui Hongshao lifted her head and said with expectation, "Don't leave, alright? Just stay in the Wooden Sword Castle."
Yang Dingtian was startled for a moment and said, "I still have a lot of things to do."
"Are you going to defeat Dongfang Bingling and take back the Yin-Yang school's Headmaster position?" Shui Hongshao said emotionally, "What's so good about that? Isn't it good to live a peaceful life?"
Yang Dingtian didn't know how to reply.
Shui Hongshao clenched her teeth and stared at Yang Dingtian with her beautiful eyes, "You stay. I will marry you, give birth to your children, and serve you for the rest of my life. Isn't that good?"
