Chapter 256 - Stumbling Block, Dongfang Bingling!

“I found out.” Yang Dingtian replied.

“Is that so? That is great.” Xiangxiang Beila was excited, but she didn’t ask what Yang Dingtian wanted to find out.

“Let’s go. We are returning immediately.” Yang Dingtian said and extended his arms.

Xiangxiang Beila’s dainty face blushed a little before she gently shrunk into Yang Dingtian’s embrace and was carried by him. Her two delicate arms were gently wrapped around Yang Dingtian’s neck.

Yang Dingtian moved his wings and flew towards the guest pavilion.

***

Yang Dingtian had been carrying Xiangxiang Beila, and they landed around a thousand meters away from the guest pavilion, he then held onto her shoulder and said, “Xiangxiang Beila, I have something that I need your help with. Is that okay?”

“Okay.” Xiangxiang Beila nodded forcefully and said, “I will definitely do it.”

“I still have a very important matter to do and shall not return to the guest pavilion. You know that I have three very incredible experts with me, but they are actually not my bodyguards, they are actually responsible for monitoring me. Hence, I have to break free from their control before I can do this important matter.” Yang Dingtian explained.

“En, I understand. What do you need me to do?” Xiangxiang Beila asked.

“In regards to those three men, you don’t have to do anything. They are very powerful and are very vicious.” Yang Dingtian said, “I need your help with that Foxman Race’s little girl. She was captured by humans to be a female slave, and I just happened to rescue her. I have many things to do, and it would be very inconvenient to bring her by my side. Furthermore, she is of the same race as you, and this is her true home. I wish to entrust her to you and let her grow and live in this place.”

Xiangxiang Beila instantly nodded, “Don’t you worry. I will definitely treat her like my own younger sister.”

“I’m glad. Thank you.” Yang Dingtian continued, “Next, you need to return to the guest pavilion alone and ask someone to carry Ji’er down for you. You don’t have to bother about the matters at this side and don’t need to meet with those three humans. Return to your father’s side immediately. Your father is very formidable, and those three human experts aren’t a match for him.”

“En, I understand.” Xiangxiang Beila acknowledged.

Yang Dingtian smiled, “I am leaving now then.” Afterward, Yang Dingtian slowly drifted to the sky.

Xiangxiang Beila’s beautiful eyes reddened slightly while tears emerged, “Then will Mister return after finishing your matters to come and look for Xiangxiang Beila, oh, no, to look for Ji’er again?”

Yang Dingtian nodded, “If I have time, I will surely come. Not just to see Ji’er but also to see Young Lady Xiangxiang Beila.”

“Then, I shall wait for you to come and look for me.” Xiangxiang Beila spoke delicately.

“Farewell!” Yang Dingtian nodded and flew up into the sky.

“Mister, take care.” Xiangxiang Beila spoke with a sobbing voice.

“Thank you.” Yang Dingtian spoke softly and vibrated his wings before flying towards the direction of the Burial Land.

Three days later, the half fire and half ice Yin Yang Mountain was going to emerge from the large lake in the center of the Burial Land. That would be the day when the Mystic Flame would bloom, and if he missed it, he would need to wait another 200 years.

***

A few hours later, Yang Dingtian flew to the Foxman Race’s dwelling and into the 500-mile Burial Land.

Right now, the sun was already up.

The Burial Land was basically a boundless grassland. Throughout the 500-mile Burial Land, there were slightly more than ten mountains and a few lakes. The rest of the land was boundless grasslands.

Right now, the grassland was uninhabited.

Apart from the time when this land was filled with half-humans’ armies during the wars, there would be no one else in this place for the rest of the time. There weren’t any signs of life either.

Because this was a battlefield, and countless people had died in this place.

Every inch of the land was stained with blood; every inch below the ground was filled with skeletons.

Hence, this place was the best place for yin energy to flourish. During normal times, none of the half-humans would dare to enter this place alone. Even animals and demonic beasts wouldn’t wish to enter this place.

When in the sky, Yang Dingtian could clearly see that even though the lands of the Burial Land and the outside lands were connected, they were entirely different.

The soil outside was filled with greenery and life.

While the trees and weeds in the Burial Land were ash red, the soil was entirely red due to all the blood that had drenched the ground.

It was also because of the countless corpses that were buried; hence, the Burial Land’s soil was extremely fertile. The weeds that grew out of the soil were three to four meters in height. They were about as tall as an average adult human, and it was basically impossible to travel by foot.

Hence, Yang Dingtian was still flying, but he was laying low to the four-meter weeds. He was secretly flying towards the Burial Land’s central lake. The Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame should be there, but it would only be visible when it would bloom three days later.

Just like that, Yang Dingtian had flown silently for two hours and was already 100 miles into the Burial Land.

Midway, he passed by a lake.

The water of the lake was entirely blood-red in color, and it was very viscous while filled with the stench of blood and foul odor.

This Burial Land was truly a place that was very sinister and strange.

But it was fortunate that he didn’t encounter a single person during the journey.

Just as Yang Dingtian was feeling relaxed, he suddenly felt an incredibly powerful energy that was rapidly approaching him.

Immediately after, he saw the weeds on the ground were rapidly collapsing, and three figures were pursuing with extreme speed.

It was Qin San, Qin Liu, and Qin Qi.

He didn’t expect that they would catch up.

They didn’t even use blades to make their way through the weeds. They were simply dashing forward at full speed and emitting forceful energy to turn the weeds into dust. Everywhere they passed through would turn into a leveled path.

Three Martial Supreme experts were extremely powerful, and smashing weeds into dust while opening a path was an easy task.

When Yang Dingtain first saw them, they were a few thousand meters away from him. But when Yang Dingtian took another glance, they were already half the distance away.

Yang Dingtian was alarmed and had quickly circulated the Dragon Dance Nine Heavens to increase his speed rapidly. He desperately flew to the sky to escape the trio’s pursuit.

He was going to harvest the Mystic Flame next, how could the trio stay by his side? Most importantly, if they knew about the Mystic Flame, they would probably kill Yang Dingtian at the first moment.

The Dragon Dance Nine Heavens was truly incredible. With the addition of the Sky Spirit Mystic Wings, Yang Dingtian’s speed was up to a few hundred miles an hour.

Hence, in just a few minutes, Qin San and others were left far behind.

After a few minutes, the trio was no longer visible. Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but relax a little.

But right at this moment, Yang Dingtian’s body felt sluggish, and he nearly fell from the sky.

His mystic qi had been exhausted. Earlier on, he was only trying to escape desperately and had been using his mystic qi without reserve to push his speed to the limit. Hence, in just less than ten minutes, his mystic qi had been emptied.

At this moment, he was less than 100 miles away from the central lake.

Soon enough, Yang Dingtian’s mystic qi couldn’t even maintain the Sky Spirit Mystic Wings, and he fell from the sky.

When Yang Dingtian landed, he quickly took out a mystic assembly elixir from the spatial ring to consume. He then sat cross-legged on the ground to refine the mystic assembly elixir’s mystic qi into his qi vessel and recover his mystic qi.

Half a minute…

One minute…

Three minutes…

Yang Dingtian was burning with anxiety.

Finally, after three and a half minutes, Yang Dingtian had completely refined the mystic qi within the mystic assembly elixir. His entire mystic qi was recovered back to around 80%.

Subsequently, he activated his wings and flew into the sky.

But right at this moment, he realized that his entire body was locked by three different forces, and he couldn’t move.

They actually arrived on time and sealed Yang Dingtian’s movements from over a few hundred meters.

A few seconds ago, the trio had rushed to Yang Dingtian’s side and surrounded him in the middle.

Qin San looked at Yang Dingtian with cold eyes and asked, “Mister Shen, where are you going?”

Yang Dingtian replied, “Do I need to report to you where I am going? My Lord has once mentioned that the three of you are to obey my commands unconditionally. I am not the one to obey your commands.”

“That’s right. It is the case.” Qin San said, “But that is when you are working normally. Your normal work should be to forge an alliance with the Foxman Race and not to enter this uninhabited Burial Land. What is your objective? Say it!”

Yang Dingtian said coldly, “What if I don’t say it?”

Qin San said, “For the interests of Qin City, we have no choice but to use some methods to interrogate you.”

Immediately, Qin San’s palm abruptly emerged with a strange energy and was placed on Yang Dingtian’s head.

The strange energy burrowed into Yang Dingtian’s head.

“Ahhh…” The extreme pain had caused Yang Dingtian to yell miserably.

The strange spiritual energy was actually conducting torture on Yang Dingtian’s rationality and consciousness.

Yang Dingtian’s heart turned cold. He immediately circulated his spiritual energy and mystic qi to resist, but his strength was far too inferior to Qin San, thus, he was unable to resist.

In the hellish torment, Yang Dingtian’s willpower to resist was getting weaker.

Yang Dingtian still had a last trick, that was the thunder attribute mystic skill. If Yang Dingtian used it on Qin San, it might not injure him, but there might be a trace of opportunity for him to escape.

But if he were to do it, his impersonation of the Hidden Sect’s disciple would be completely exposed. It was possible that he wouldn’t have a place in the world to establish himself anymore.

But if he didn’t do so, his spirit and his mind might suffer permanent damage.

“Mister Shen, if you don’t talk, your mind might be crippled.” Qin San stated coldly.

Right at this moment, the surrounding air suddenly turned cold, and the surrounding weeds had been instantly frozen.

“Release him. He belongs to me now.”

An extremely pleasant voice echoed, that was like a sound of ice breaking and jade shattering.

Moreover, this voice was extremely familiar. It was unknown how many times it had echoed in the depths of Yang Dingtian’s heart and caused his heart to surge with ingrained hatred.

Dongfang Bingling! The Nine Heavens Fairy, Dongfang Bingling.

Almost instantly…

An extremely beautiful figure floated in the air. She was still high and mighty. She was still like that absolute fairy standing on the peak of the mountain.

She? She actually appeared in this place?
