Yang Dingtian's slap was very heavy.
Five fingerprints appeared on Dugu Fengwu's face, and half of her face quickly swelled up.
This demon woman's cultivation might have regressed, but she was still much stronger than Yang Dingtian.
Yang Dingtian's slap was just an ordinary one, and he didn't use any mystic qi.
Dugu Fengwu could have easily dodged it, but she wasn't able to and was slapped by Yang Dingtian.
Dugu Fengwu's beautiful eyes shot out a look of disbelief, followed by bone-deep hatred.
Fresh blood slowly flowed down from the corner of her mouth.
"Yang Dingtian, you dare to hit me?" Dugu Fengwu said coldly, "I will let you know the price of this slap.
I will make you beg for death, and I will make you regret this slap in the face even after you die! "
"Get lost!" Yang Dingtian said coldly.
Dugu Fengwu stared deeply at Yang Dingtian and said word by word, "Nine days later, your ascension ceremony will be the day of your death!
You will beg for death, but you won't be able to!
You will fall into the eighteen levels of hell! "
Finishing her statement, Dugu Fengwu's delicate body suddenly floated into the sky and flew towards the northwest.
Yang Dingtian looked at Dugu Fengwu's departing figure, and his mood instantly became extremely complicated.
The previous Dugu Fengwu might not be like a woman, being vicious and decisive, but she was still rather adorable.
But the current Dugu Fengwu had completely changed. All her previous traits were gone, and even her pride was completely gone.
Until Dugu Fengwu disappeared from his sight, Yang Dingtian flew into the sky and returned to Cloud Heaven City!
…
For the entire night, Yang Dingtian didn't sleep and had been recuperating.
The next morning …!
Yang Dingtian opened his eyes, and the sun shone in through the window.
"Young Lord, Qin Huaiyu requests for an audience." At this moment, Mu Lianyi walked in.
Mu Lianyi lived in the attic as a maid. Despite being a maid, she still wore tight leather clothes, looking sexy and fit.
"Let him wait. I'll go out and meet him," Yang Dingtian said.
Under Mu Lianyi's service, Yang Dingtian finished washing up and changed into a snow-white robe. He even accompanied Yanyan to have breakfast.
Regardless of whether Qin Huaiyu was impatient or not, by the time Yang Dingtian went to see Qin Huaiyu, more than two hours had already passed.
…
"Yang Dingtian, your Profound Flame, your cultivation, everything about you is incomparably stunning," Qin Huaiyu said with a smile.
At this moment, the two of them were on the highest floor of the central castle.
There were only the two of them in the entire central castle.
"Mm." Yang Dingtian replied faintly.
"Nine days later, it will be your ascension ceremony." Qin Huaiyu laughed and said, "It is truly incomparably difficult for you to reach this step.
No matter which step you took, it was filled with killing intent. You actually made it all the way here. I am truly amazed. "
"Let's get straight to the point." Yang Dingtian went straight to the point and said, "What do you want?"
Qin Huaiyu said, "You should know that Dugu Fengwu gave me two Reflection Jades, and they have the scene of you and Dugu Aoshuang getting married.
This should cause you to lose all standing and reputation, and you will die without a burial ground.
All along, Yang Yan has been slandering you as an infiltrator of Evil ways, but there was no evidence.
Now that the evidence is conclusive, you won't be able to clear your name even if you jump into the Yellow River. "
Hearing Qin Huaiyu's words, Yang Dingtian wasn't surprised at all.
He just laughed and said, "Qin Huaiyu, the one who colluded with Evil ways is you. The reality is truly speechless."
"That's right. The reality is often black and white. But what can we do?" Qin Huaiyu said.
Immediately after, Qin Huaiyu looked at Yang Dingtian with a serious expression and said, "Yang Dingtian, I don't have to use this trump card. I can even give you these two Reflection Jades.
I can allow you to successfully ascend to the position of Cloud Heaven City Lord during the ascension ceremony. "
"What are the conditions?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"That Soul Sword of yours."
Qin Huaiyu went straight to the point and said, "I don't know how you forged it, but I know that your soul sword is unparalleled.
As long as you give me that soul sword, I won't let you lose all standing and reputation, and I will even allow you to ascend to the position of Cloud Heaven City Lord. "
"Impossible."
Yang Dingtian said coldly, "Furthermore, my soul sword has already recognized its master. It is useless even if I give it to you."
Qin Huaiyu revealed a greedy gaze and said, "Then you don't have to bother.
Either you give me the soul sword, or you lose all standing and reputation and die without a burial ground. "
"Impossible." Yang Dingtian said, "Change your conditions."
"I don't have any other conditions. I just want your soul sword." Qin Huaiyu said, "Furthermore, this condition is valid for nine days.
The ascension ceremony is the final deadline.
If you don't hand over the soul sword, I will announce that you are the son-in-law of Evil ways' Dugu Xiao. "
Then, Qin Huaiyu walked out!
"Yang Dingtian, I will be in Cloud Heaven City for the next few days. If you change your mind, you can look for me anytime."
***
After returning to Yanyan's small building, Yang Dingtian didn't tell everyone about this matter.
But he didn't hide it from Yanyan and told her everything clearly.
After Yanyan heard everything, her beautiful eyes stared at Yang Dingtian and suddenly said, "Husband, that demonic woman Dugu Fengwu must have fallen in love with you.
It's just that she can't accept this kind of feeling, so she displayed a bone-deep hatred. "
"This isn't important. The important thing is that this crazy woman only wants to destroy me and gave Qin Huaiyu my weakness." Yang Dingtian said.
Yanyan said, "In fact, the one who colluded with the Evil ways is Northwest Qin City and Qin Huaiyu.
Why don't we make a move first and expose this scandal? "
Before she finished speaking, Yanyan stuck out her tongue. She clearly knew that this method of hers was useless.
"I don't have any evidence, and no one will believe me." Yang Dingtian said, "But Qin Huaiyu has solid evidence."
"Can we think of a way to kill him without any suspicion?" Yanyan asked.
Yang Dingtian shook his head and said, "Firstly, Qin Huaiyu is stronger than Yang Zheng.
Among all of us, no one is his match.
Secondly, he always has a Master level expert by his side.
Lastly, many of the experts from the Tiandō League are still in Cloud Sky City. We can't find any chance. "
In fact, Yang Dingtian was already considered the Lord of Cloud Sky City.
However, 80% of Cloud Sky City was currently in the hands of Yang Yan and the others. Yang Dingtian only controlled a small part of it.
"Oh right, husband, the tens of thousands of warriors from the various factions have all returned today."
Yanyan said, "But the leaders of the various factions are still in Cloud Sky City. They are preparing to participate in the City Lord Ascension Ceremony in nine days!"
"Because they saw tens of thousands of warriors supporting me, they chased all the warriors back in order to weaken my momentum and to prevent us from kidnapping the public opinion.
The thousands of high-level warriors who stayed behind are basically enemies with us because of Northwest Qin City. At the very least, they have a cold relationship with us, "Yang Dingtian said.
That's right. Yang Dingtian's power in Cloud Sky City was still very weak.
It could even be said that he was surrounded by enemies.
"Why don't we make a deal with Qin Huaiyu?"
Yanyan said, "He definitely has something he really wants. We can trade for that Recovery Jade with him."
"Qin Huaiyu only wants one thing, and that is Cloud Sky City."
Yang Dingtian said, "We can't afford it. Before his greed is dispelled, he won't really make a deal with us."
That's right. Qin Huaiyu only wanted Cloud Sky City.
Qin Qiqi wanted the Southwest Continent, while Qin Huaiyu wanted the Northwest Continent.
This involved who would control the Northwest Qin City in the future, so Qin Huaiyu would definitely not let it go.
"Then what should we do?
Is there no other way? "
Yanyan said, "Why don't we lead the army out of Cloud Sky City and enter the Sunset Mountain Range to rule over it and look forward to a comeback in the future?"
"If I lead everyone out of Cloud Sky City because of this matter, then I will never be able to return. Everyone's hearts will be broken because their City Lord is a coward who runs away without fighting," Yang Dingtian said.
"Then, then is there really no other way?
Can we only watch as Qin Huaiyu destroys us? "
Yanyan said, "Can we only watch as you are slandered as an infiltrator of Evil ways and be hunted down by everyone in the world?"
"There is a way," Yang Dingtian said.
"What way?" Yanyan hurriedly asked.
"Go and see someone," Yang Dingtian said.
…
Two hours later, Yang Dingtian came to the VIP pavilion and asked to see Leng Ao from Yin-Yang school.
Although there was another Master Realm elder from Yin-Yang school, Yang Dingtian felt that it was more appropriate to find Leng Ao for this matter.
Even in the comfortable room, Leng Ao was still dressed in a snow-white robe, not a hair out of place.
His robe was whiter than snow, and he was cold and handsome!
Not many people in the world could compare to his handsomeness.
On the surface, he and Dongfang Bingling looked like a perfect couple.
When Yang Dingtian came in, Leng Ao was still cultivating with his eyes closed.
It was obvious that Yang Dingtian's visit had surprised him.
However, from the frown on his face, he did not welcome Yang Dingtian's visit. In fact, he was even very uncomfortable.
"Greetings, Senior Leng Ao," Yang Dingtian said.
"What's the matter?" Leng Ao asked.
"I would like to invite Junior Dongfang Bingling to attend the City Lord's coronation ceremony in nine days," Yang Dingtian said. "I have a letter here, and I would like Senior Leng Ao to pass it to Junior Dongfang Bingling."
Instantly, Leng Ao's face turned cold. He stared at Yang Dingtian like an arrow and said coldly, "Impossible!"
Yang Dingtian said, "Why not? If I'm not wrong, Junior Dongfang should be in the Northwest Continent right now, right?"
Leng Ao stared at Yang Dingtian and said slowly, "Yang Dingtian, it's important to know one's own limits."
Leng Ao then said, "Perhaps because your cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, you feel that you're very different from a year ago.
In fact, whether it's in my eyes or Junior Dongfang's eyes, your weight and role haven't changed at all.
Us coming to Cloud Heaven City to watch the ceremony has nothing to do with you. It's just a few hundred years of etiquette.
No matter who wins the Grand Martial Competition, we will all be here to watch the ceremony.
Do you understand what I'm saying? "
At this moment, Leng Ao no longer hid the disgust and disdain in his eyes.
At this moment, Yang Dingtian was already a Martial Honorable. Leng Ao obviously didn't care about him.
His disdain came from Yang Dingtian's identity as a commoner. He also thought of Dongfang Bingling as a toad.
Yang Dingtian looked at Leng Ao for a long time. Then, he bowed and said, "Goodbye!"
… …
That night, Yang Dingtian used the Empty Spirit Wings and flew a few thousand meters into the sky. He flew towards the Catkin Villa in the Southeast direction.
According to the words of the Earth era, the Catkin Villa was equivalent to the Yin-Yang school's office and embassy in the Northwest Continent.
Normally, when Dongfang Bingling was in the Northwest Continent, she would stay there. Even if she wasn't there, the people in the Catkin Villa would have a way to contact Dongfang Bingling.
In less than two hours, Yang Dingtian was already in the sky above the Catkin Villa.
The Catkin Villa, which covered thousands of acres, had been turned into a pile of ruins because of the war more than a year ago.
When he looked down, it had returned to its beautiful appearance.
There were countless pavilions and beautiful gardens.
In just a year, the villa had been completely rebuilt. There were no traces of ruins.
After landing on the ground, Yang Dingtian, who had disguised himself, knocked on the door.
"It's getting late. Leave your name card and come again tomorrow." The arrogant voice of the gatekeeper came from inside.
Even a random gatekeeper of the Yin-Yang school was arrogant.
Yang Dingtian didn't say anything. He passed a piece of paper through the crack of the door.
There was a very, very special pattern on the paper.
This pattern would change every day. It was one of the top secrets of the Yin-Yang school.
There were two patterns on the paper that Yang Dingtian passed in. One of them was a pattern that changed every day. It represented a top secret identity.
Obviously, the gatekeeper didn't recognize it.
However, there was another pattern that represented a normal secret identity. The gatekeeper recognized it.
When the gatekeeper received the pattern, Yang Dingtian could clearly hear him holding his breath.
Then, the door opened. The gatekeeper bowed and didn't dare to look up. He said in a low voice, "Greetings, sir."
"I want to see your Villa Master." Yang Dingtian said calmly.
"Yes, please follow me." The gatekeeper didn't refuse and led the way.
Although he didn't recognize the other mysterious pattern, he knew that the person in front of him had a very mysterious and high status in the Yin-Yang school.
His level of secrecy was even higher than that of the Catkin Villa's Villa Master.
Soon, Yang Dingtian met the Villa Master of the Catkin Villa, Liu Sanbian, in a secret pavilion in the water.
Similarly, this person was also the most important person in the Yin-Yang school in the Northwest Mainland.
When Yang Dingtian entered, Liu Sanbian's back was facing him. He said calmly, "What's the matter? Speak!"
"Villa Master, please take a look at my identification first." Yang Dingtian said.
Then, he handed over a piece of white paper with a mysterious pattern.
Liu Sanbian turned around. This person was an elegant and handsome middle-aged man.
His face was like jade, and his small beard made him look even more charming.
He impatiently took the paper that Yang Dingtian had drawn with a special pattern. Suddenly, his expression changed.
This was the Yin-Yang school's highest secret letter symbol. It represented the highest level of information.
Once such information appeared, Liu Sanbian had to deliver it at all costs, even if it meant losing his life!
"May I know what your orders are?" Liu Sanbian asked.
"I want to see Miss Dongfang Bingling. I have something to report. Please inform her." Yang Dingtian said.
Liu Sanbian said, "But, Miss Dongfang is not in the Catkin Villa."
"Then where is she?
Bring me to her. "Yang Dingtian said.
"I don't know about that. No one dares to ask about Miss Dongfang's whereabouts. Other than the time when she went to the Northwest Qin City to attend the wedding, she stayed at Catkin Villa for a day and never came again," Liu Sanbian said.
Yang Dingtian was stunned. If Dongfang Bingling did not return to the Catkin Villa, then where did she go?
Yang Dingtian frowned and said, "I'm almost certain that Miss Dongfang Bingling is in the Northwest Mainland right now.
I have an important letter that needs to be delivered to her within seven days. It's very important. Do you have a way? "
Liu Sanbian frowned and said, "Are you sure Miss Dongfang is in the Northwest Mainland?"
Yang Dingtian was not completely sure, but he was eighty percent sure.
According to his understanding of Dongfang Bingling, it had been about ten days since she came to the Northwest Mainland. She should not have left.
"I'm sure." Yang Dingtian said.
"I'll use all the Yin-Yang school's secret strongholds in the Northwest Mainland. I'll use thousands of crows and thousands of spies. I should be able to find Miss Dongfang within seven days." Liu Sanbian said, "But, are you sure you want to use these secret strongholds?
The price will be very high. "
He only asked Yang Dingtian if he wanted to use them, not if Yang Dingtian had the authority to use them.
Without a doubt, Yang Dingtian had the power to activate these secret strongholds.
Because, to be able to draw the highest level secret diagram, it represented one's status and authority.
"Yes!" Liu Sanbian said, "I'll immediately give the order. Do you need to wait in the villa?"
"I can't wait here. I'll give you the letter. When Miss Dongfang Bingling returns to the Catkin Villa, you can pass it to her." Yang Dingtian then took out a crystal clear jade slip.
This jade slip, if placed on Earth, was completely superior to glass type jadeite.
It was as clear as water and even purer than water.
At first glance, there was nothing on this jade slip.
In fact, Yang Dingtian's letter had been written on the jade slip using a special mystical energy.
If one wanted to read it, they had to use a special mystical energy to infuse the jade slip. Only then would the words appear.
After reading it, the jade slip would shatter into pieces.
This jade slip alone cost more than a hundred gold coins. It was specially used to transmit the highest level of information.
"The method to read it is the Yin-Yang school's highest mystical energy infusing secret. Miss Dongfang knows it." Yang Dingtian said.
In the entire Yin-Yang school, no more than three people knew the highest mystical energy infusing secret.
Therefore, Yang Dingtian was not worried that the letter on the jade slip would be read by others. At least in the Northwest Mainland, only Dongfang Bingling could read it.
Of course, these Yin-Yang school's top secrets were all told to him by Dongfang Minmie.
This highest level of information transmission method was actually used by Yang Dingtian to write a private letter to Dongfang Bingling.
Liu Sanbian respectfully took the jade slip and carefully placed it in his pocket. He then bowed and said, "I'll go and activate all the crows and spies."
"Thank you. Goodbye!" Yang Dingtian said.
Then, Yang Dingtian walked out of the small building and flew into the sky in the dark. He flew back in the direction of Cloud Sky City.
… …
Time passed day by day.
Finally, eight days had passed. Yang Dingtian's City Lord ascension ceremony was about to arrive.
