Chapter 131: Heaven Defying Sword Soul, Battle of Cloud Heaven City! (Part 2)

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Everyone present didn’t feel that Ximen Ju’s condition was excessive, in fact, they felt that it was very fair and just.

Yang Dingtian was the only one who knew about the ulterior motives behind Ximen Ju’s proposal. Yang Dingtian might have successfully controlled the violent sword soul to combat for once, but Dongfang Niemie’s spirit soul was nearly destroyed in the process. Yang Dingtian didn’t have any guarantee that he could do it again, and it was almost certain death. Moreover, Yang Dingtian promised his master that he wouldn’t touch that sword soul ever again.

There was another important factor. If Yang Dingtian was to touch that violent sword soul again, and even if he succeeded, the consequence might be the complete obliteration of his master’s consciousness and his body being crushed into smithereens.

Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, “I’m sorry. I can’t do it!”

Ximen Ju frowned and asked, “Why is that so?”

Yang Dingtian replied, “Because I have decided that I will never use that sword soul again.”

Ximen Ju’s frown intensified as he said, “Oh? That’s really a great coincidence.”

At this moment, everyone present couldn’t help but have suspicion in their eyes. Their worship towards Yang Dingtian had completely turned into doubt.

Immediately after, Ximen Ju said, “Since you’re unwilling to demonstrate the sword soul in battle, then we have to use another method. Everyone knows that there must be a soul tool in order to use the Evil Soul Art in battle. In order to prove your innocence, please accept to having your body searched in front of everyone. If there is no soul tool found, then it will prove your innocence. This should be fine right?”

Ximen Ju had this helpless and gentle tone, it made everyone feel that he was being really reasonable. In that instant, everyone looked at Yang Dingtian hoping that he would agree to it.

Yang Dingtian was definitely not afraid of being searched, this was because the soul tool ring was within the spatial ring and even an immortal wouldn’t be able to find it. But for a person like Ximen Ju, Yang Dingtian was treating him as a malicious individual and assumed that he might have an evil soul tool hidden somewhere. By then, Yang Dingtian wouldn’t be able to cleanse his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River. Once he was slandered with the sin as an insider from the Evil Dao, he wouldn’t even be able to die if he wanted to. Madam Ximen, Yanyan, and the others would be implicated as well.

“Apologies. I reject to having my body searched,” Yang Dingtian replied.

Ximen Ju’s voice instantly turned cold, “Oh? Why is that so?”

Yang Dingtian spoke word by word, “That is simply because I don’t trust you. Furthermore, a body search would be an insult to me.”

Once Yang Dingtian said this, everyone was in an uproar. They all looked at Yang Dingtian with doubt, their previous goodwill towards him disappeared. In fact, some of them have already treated Yang Dingtian as an Evil Dao’s infiltrator.

“Yang Dingtian…” Ximen Ju’s voice turned utterly icy cold as he spoke, “This way isn’t possible, that way won’t do it either. Are you forcing us to our last resort?”

“What last resort?” Yang Dingtian asked indifferently.

Ximen Ju continued speaking in an apathetic tone, “Good and evil have never been on the same side of the coin. Cheating during the trial by duel may be a small problem. But… for the sake of the past centuries of Cloud Heaven City’s foundation, if you cannot agree to either of the two conditions stated, I will use martial force to make you stay.”

Immediately after, Ximen Ju drifted from the city walls and landed in front of Yang Dingtian. He slowly lifted the palm from his sleeve and said in a cold voice, “I will give you one final moment to consider this. You will either demonstrate and control a sword soul to fight or you must agree to a body search. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless. For the foundation of the Cloud Heaven City and all tens of thousands of lives of everyone present, I have no choice but to be ruthless.”

Finishing his statement, Ximen Ju began to countdown.

“Five!” “Four!” “Three!”

Yang Dingtian suddenly replied, “You don’t have to count down. If you want to make a move, then do it now!”

Once his reply ended, Yang Dingtian lifted the Night Owl Giant Blade with both hands. Despite the fact that he was already powerless, riddled with wounds, and his mystic meridians were like dried out canals.

Ximen Ju drew his palm from his sleeve and said, “You forced my hand.”

Just as he said it, Ximen Ju was about to send out a palm strike.

“Hold it!” Ximen Ju was suddenly interrupted by a yell, the man slowly walked out from the crowd. “Lao Er. Today is not the day for you to fight with Yang Dingtian. Your fight will be held one year and five months later. If you want a fight, then fight me today. We all know you have been waiting for this day for a long time. Not only you but also everyone in Cloud Heaven City wants to know who is the strongest adopted son under our father.”

(TL note: Lao Er = Old Second, which means second in the seniority)

Ximen Lie walked in front of Yang Dingtian and drew his giant artifact sword.

Ximen Ju spoke coldly, “Lao Da, now is not the time to be stubborn. We have plenty of opportunities to decide who is the stronger one later. Furthermore, everyone already knows that you are the no.1 adopted son under our father. Right now, we have to prove Yang Dingtian’s innocence, this could decide the fate of the future of Cloud Heaven City. Do not undermine the severity of this issue.”

“TL note: Lao Da = Boss/Eldest, which means the eldest in seniority)

“Don’t try to scare people with your words.” Ximen Lie replied, “I believe in Yang Dingtian’s innocence. So if you want Yang Dingtian to stay today, then you have to defeat me first.”

Ximen Lie spoke indifferently, “Then what if Yang Dingtian is a spy from the Evil Dao? Who is going to take responsibility for this?”

“I will take responsibility!” Ximen Lie roared.

“What are you going to offer in exchange for the responsibility?” Ximen Ju asked.

“My life! If Yang Dingtian used the Evil Soul Art or if he’s a spy from the Evil Dao, I will submit my life for the world!” Ximen Lie roared furiously.

“You aren’t qualified and your life isn’t worth much.” Ximen Ju said in a cold tone, “This involves the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. This involves centuries of the foundation of Cloud Heaven City, just your life alone isn’t sufficient.”

Ximen Ju sighed and said, “Lao Er, I’m not your foe in terms of schemes or arguments. But I do know some of your thoughts. You simply want Yang Dingtian to die and be the City Lord of Cloud Heaven City right? I am the type of man who likes to talk with my sword. I stand with my terms. If you want Yang Dingtian to stay, then you have to step over my corpse.”

“Lao Da, think this through carefully. You’re trying to make Cloud Heaven City and the entire Heaven Dao Union your enemy. Are you going to cut yourself from Cloud Heaven City?” Ximen Ju asked. He then looked at Yang Yan and said, “Grand Elder, you’re the highest hierarchy in Cloud Heaven City, say something.”

Yang Yan spoke slowly, “Ximen Lie, as the Grand Elder of Cloud Heaven City, I am warning you. If you forcefully obstruct Ximen Ju’s investigation, then you will be ruining Cloud Heaven City’s history. I will banish you from the Elder Committee and from Cloud Heaven City. Do you want to make a move? Sure, go ahead, but once you do it, you will no longer be a member of Cloud Heaven City and you shall never take another step inside. You better consider it.”

Ximen Lie sneered and said, “Grand Elder, you don’t have the authority to banish me just by yourself.”

“I can’t, but the Elder Committee can, right?” Yang Yan snorted. “Now, the Elder Committee will decide by vote. If Ximen Lie tries to obstruct Ximen Ju from investigating the suspected Evil Dao’s spy, then Ximen Lie will be banished from Cloud Heaven City immediately! All those who agree, second a motion. I agree!”

“I agree!” Tang Bozhao said.

“I agree!” Ximen Ju said.

“I agree!” Elder Yan Bieli said.

“I agree!” Elder Mu Huali said.

“I abstain,” Abyss Castle’s Ximen Nu said. This was the first time Yang Dingtian saw him. Ximen Nu was wearing an impressive white armor, he looked dashing and prideful.

“I disagree!” The frail Madam Ximen said.

Cloud Heaven City had a total of nine elders, and right now, seven of them had made their votes. Elder Mu Ye was in the Hidden Arts Pavilion and didn’t bother about the trifling matters in Cloud Heaven City. Ximen Lie was directly involved in the matter, hence he didn’t have the right to vote. Since Ximen Ningning was just an honorary member of the Elder Committee, she didn’t have the right to vote too.

“Five agreed, one disagreed, one abstained. The vote has passed.” Yang Yan spoke indifferently, “Ximen Lie, you better consider this again. If you want to obstruct Ximen Ju from investigating the suspected Evil Dao infiltrator, you will be banished from Cloud Heaven City.”

“Haha…” Ximen Lie laughed boldly and said, “I didn’t want to stay in a Cloud Heaven City like this anyways.”

Subsequently, Ximen Lie looked at Yang Dingtian and said, “Yang Dingtian, whether I can return to Cloud Heaven City will depend on you. A year and a half year later, you must win the duel for the Cloud Heaven City Lord position. Because once an elder has been banished from Cloud Heaven City, only the City Lord has the authority to recall an exiled subject.”

Finishing his statement, Ximen Lie brandished his giant sword and pointed it towards Ximen Ju, he said, “Lao Er, let’s do it then!”

“Ximen Lie, your opponent is me,” Yang Yan suddenly sneered and spoke before he drifted down from the city wall. He raised the cane in his hand and said to Ximen Ju, “Ximen Ju, do it fast and take out the possible Evil Dao traitor, Yang Dingtian. Leave Ximen Lie to me!”

“Yes!” Ximen Ju looked at Yang Dingtian and said, “Yang Dingtian. You’re the one who courted death. Don’t blame me for being merciless. I will let you have the first move.”

“Ximen Ju, your opponent is me,” Madam Ximen suddenly leaped from her seat and floated like a fairy towards Yang Dingtian’s side.

Madam Ximen landed beside Yang Dingtian and drew her sharp sword towards Ximen Ju. “Ximen Ju you ungrateful bastard. Do it!”

“Madam Ximen, your opponent is me,” Tang Bozhao laughed loudly and suddenly jumped off from the city walls.

In this instant, Ximen Ju was facing Yang Dingtian again. It was obvious that they treated him as a threat, hence, they were determined to eliminate him now that he was still budding.

Yang Dingtian didn’t have any more experts by his side. Ximen Ju’s face immediately revealed a cruel smile.

“Ximen Ju, you have to face me too,” Yanyan’s delicate body leaped up and landed beside Yang Dingtian. She drew her sword and spoke to Yang Dingtian in a gentle voice, “Husband, we will fight together!”

Ximen Lie knew that even if Yang Dingtian and Ximen Yanyan worked together, they still wouldn’t be a match for Ximen Ju. He might be the one who initiated the fight with Ximen Ju, but he knew that Ximen Ju was definitely stronger than him.

Ximen Lie suddenly yelled out into the crowd, “Ximen Nu, are you going to stand by the side and do nothing?!”

Ximen Nu was an expert that was second to Ximen Ju and Ximen Lie in Cloud Heaven City. He was similarly one of Ximen Wuya’s outstanding adoptive son.

Hearing Ximen Lie’s yell, Ximen Nu didn’t have any response.

Ximen Lie spoke with anger, “Ximen Nu, we have been taken care of by father’s kindness. Are you really going to look on as these ungrateful bastards take advantage of father’s wife and daughter?”

Staying silent for a moment, Ximen Nu spoke slowly, “Lao Da, I have already abstained from my vote!”

“Good… good… very good. Father truly has raised a bunch of cruel and unscrupulous ingrates!” Ximen Lie laughed from extreme anger, he yelled at Yang Yan, “Despicable old bastard, come on then! Today, I will treat this old traitor a lesson on my father’s behalf. Today, we will all fight to the death! Yang Dingtian, be prepared!”

At this moment, Ximen Lie was up against Yang Yan. Madam Ximen was up against Tang Bozhao. Yang Dingtian and Ximen Yanyan were up against Ximen Ju!

This great battle was on the verge of erupting!

Ximen Lie let out a violent roar while the giant sword in his hand emitted blazing red light as he rushed at Yang Yan.

“Die traitor!” Yang Yan yelled in a cold voice as he abruptly brandished the artifact cane in his hand.

“Boom! A lump of ferocious flame beast rushed out from the artifact cane and blasted towards Ximen Lie.

Madam Ximen looked at Tang Bozhao and sneered. “Despicable toad, even if I have to die today, I will make you lose half your life!”

Finishing her declaration, Madam Ximen brandished her sharp sword and thrust at Tang Bozhao like an elegant shooting star.

“A left out phoenix is not even worthy enough to be a chicken. I have waited for this day for many years,” Tang Bozhao laughed grimly, while his eyes flashed with an insatiable heat when he looked at Madam Ximen. He twisted the sword in his hand and thrust at Madam Ximen mutually, aiming at her breasts.

Yang Dingtian slowly aimed the Night Owl Giant Blade at Ximen Ju and let out a sarcastic smile. “Overseer Ximen, you took each step carefully and advanced gradually to finally create this situation. You should be satisfied now.”

“I am doing this for the centuries of foundations of the Cloud Heaven City. I have a clear conscience.” Ximen Ju raised his hands and said, “I will not use any weapons against both of you. This will be considered fair on behalf of father.”

Ximen Ju suddenly assaulted with his palm.

Yang Dingtian rushed up and raised his blade to block, putting Ximen Yanyan behind him. He aimed at the energy from Ximen Ju and used all the mystic qi in his body to swing his sword out.

“Bang!” A gentle and reserved power struck Yang Dingtian’s body like torrential water flow.

“Pfff…” Yang Dingtian violently spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood while his body flew several meters.

“Husband!” Ximen Yanyan grimly exclaimed.

“Bang!” Yang Dingtian crashed hard on the solid surface of the ground, causing stone shards to scatter. He could feel the formidable and vicious energy which was ripping in him, it was instantly destroying the mystic meridians on his right arm.

Qin Shaobai was already very powerful, but compared to Ximen Ju, there was a clear difference between heaven and earth. Ximen Ju was extremely powerful, so much that Yang Dingtian couldn’t even tell which class he was at.

“Yang Dingtian, you’re so weak that you can’t even withstand a single blow.” Ximen Ju said indifferently, “Why not use your Evil Soul Art, you might have a chance at living. Remember, I will not be merciful at all and for the foundation of Cloud Heaven City, I will be very ruthless.”

Yanyan ran to Yang Dingtian’s side and helped him up while asking in a sobbing voice, “How are you feeling?”

“I’m fine.” Yang Dingtian struggled to stand with the support of Yanyan. He looked at Ximen Ju and asked, “Why? Why are you doing this? What exactly do you want? Tell me the truth and spare me all the glorious bullshit.”

Ximen Ju thought for a moment and sneered. “For the centuries of Cloud Heaven City’s foundation, I will do anything.”

It was still that glorious bullshit reply.

Immediately after, Ximen Ju looked at Yang Dingtian and said, “Stand up. You are a hero and you can die while standing.”

Yang Dingtian held onto the Night Owl Giant Blade and stood up straight again. He then laughed grimly at Ximen Ju. “Come on, do it again!”

Subsequently, Yang Dingtian used his left hand to wield the sword and pointed it at Ximen Ju.

“No!” Ximen Yanyan cried while standing in front of Yang Dingtian. She yelled at Ximen Ju, “If you want to kill my husband, you have to kill me first!”

“Yanyan… Back off. This is my fight,” Yang Dingtian demanded.

“No! Yanyan said.

Yang Dingtian abruptly pushed Yanyan away while he wielded the Night Owl Giant Blade and rushed at Ximen Ju. The Night Owl Giant Blade radiated with splendor as it was swung out.

Ximen Ju gently struck out with his palm. A palm shadow appeared and directly pressed onto Yang Dingtian’s chest.

“Pfff…” Yang Dingtian’s fresh blood violently spurted while he flew several meters out and crashed hard onto the ground.

“Ahh!” Yanyan was wielding her artifact sword as she rushed at Ximen Ju and yelled with fury, “Ximen Ju! You bastard, I’ll risk it all with you!”

Looking at the rushing Yanyan, Ximen Ju’s eyes had this flash of series of complex expressions. He looked on as Yanyan’s artifact sword thrust towards his chest. His eyes turned cold, and so he suddenly flung his sleeve.

“Pfff…” Yanyan’s delicate body was sent flying several meters like a kite while she vomited blood in the air.

“Yanyan!” Madam Ximen was in a fight with Tang Bozhao, but half her attention was on Yang Dingtian and Yanyan’s side all this time. When she saw her birth daughter vomiting blood because of a palm strike from Ximen Ju, she instantly let out a miserable scream and was distracted, causing her moves to be slightly delayed.

Tang Bozhao saw the opportunity and immediately snorted. “Yang Peipei, the shame that you gave me 20 years ago shall be repaid back today.”

Finishing his statement, Tang Bozhao thrust his sword into Madam Ximen’s chest, he was about to lift it up.

“Madam!” Ximen Lie yelled out and rushed over immediately. In order to rescue Madam Ximen, he completely ignored Grand Elder Yang Yan who was pursuing him. The giant sword stabbed at Tang Bozhao.

“Bang!” Just as Tang Bozhao’s sword lifted up from Madam Ximen’s chest, he was struck by Ximen Lie’s giant sword.

“Pfff!” Madam Ximen’s chest which had been stabbed by Tang Bozhao’s sword spurted blood violently, this caused her delicate body to fly out several meters.

When Tang Bozhao’s sharp sword had been struck by Ximen Lie’s giant sword, a gigantic force assaulted his body, causing him to take a few dozen steps back while violently spitting blood from his mouth.

Just as Ximen Lie ignored his formidable opponent to rescue Madam Ximen, he had momentarily left his back open.

Yang Yan saw the opportunity and revealed a sinister smile. He circulated all the mystic qi and blasted Ximen Lie’s back with a ferocious fire dragon.

Ximen Lie couldn’t dodge in time since he was rescuing Madam Ximen, this caused his back to be directly struck.

“Boom!” There was a loud sound, Ximen Lie’s sturdy body was blasted more than a few dozen meters away. His back was charred while he was vomiting blood violently.

Yang Dingtian’s eyes were instantly wide opened. Due to the grief, he violently spurted a mouthful of blood again. At this moment, Ximen Ju walked over and raised his palm while aiming at Yang Dingtian’s head, he was about to abruptly cleave down with his hand.

“Kill… kill… kill… kill…” Yang Dingtian bellowed as he gathered all his spirit into the Night Owl Giant Blade to sense the violent sword soul.

“Master. I’m sorry. I have to violate your words and break my promise. I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”

The violent sword soul was like the vast ocean which would burst forth with torrential giant waves time and time again. Yang Dingtian’s spirit was like a leaf boat which would probably be crushed once he entered.

Yang Dingtian’s leaf boat abruptly rushed into the violent sword soul’s vast ocean. Without Dongfang Niemie around, he forcefully tried to control this violent sword soul.

“Boom!” There was an explosion in his mind which turned everything into a patch of white as though there was a nuclear explosion.

In this instant, the Night Owl Giant Blade in Yang Dingtian’s hand burst out with an incomparably dazzling glow alongside with his body. The Night Owl Giant Blade seemed to have its own consciousness which had merged with Yang Dingtian, turning it into an extremely ferocious sword light which thrust at Ximen Ju.

This happened while Ximen Ju’s palm had gathered an extremely powerful energy which was slamming downwards on Yang Dingtian’s head.

“Boom!” A giant echo was produced when the two powerful forces clashed.

“No!”

“No!”

“No!”

Yanyan, Madam Ximen, and Ximen Lie concurrently let out a mournful scream.

Everyone present was shocked and astonished, as though they saw a miracle.

It really was a sword soul, a true sword soul. Yang Dingtian wasn’t lying, he had really released a sword soul.

It was an astounding strike that was dazzling to the eyes!

Half a minute later, the light gradually faded. Everyone could finally see Yang Dingtian and Ximen Ju who were standing in the middle of the plaza.

Both Ximen Ju’s legs were stuck in the ground as he took over a dozen steps back, he violently spurted a mouthful of fresh blood, he had this astonished look on his face.

Yang Dingtian’s legs were also entirely stuck into the hard ground. His body was naked and drenched in blood. His eyes were shut and his giant sword was bursting with killing qi.

There was silence in the entire plaza as everyone looked at Yang Dingtian like a war god’s statue.

But no one knew if the current Yang Dingtian was dead or alive.

Yang Yan withdrew his shocked expression and roared out, “All troops mobilize and kill all the traitors!”

In an instant, the entire plaza surged with countless warriors from the underground. They were all brandishing their weapons while heading towards the Black Blood Cavalry.

This wasn’t the army from the Cloud Heaven City, but rather, they were from the Northwest Qin Clan’s army. An army of several thousand surrounded the Black Blood Cavalry which numbered about a thousand, they decimated them!

Since they were already in neck-deep, they couldn’t stop now! Since they had already torn off the pretense, they might as well slaughter their enemies.

All those who came to spectate swiftly backed off and observed from the side. All the members of Cloud Heaven City were at a complete loss and didn’t know which side to help.

Right now, Yang Dingtian and the Black Blood Cavalry were facing imminent danger.

Suddenly in this perilous situation, the fainted Ximen Ningning suddenly opened her eyes. Her originally beautiful eyes instantly turned green.

The originally kind and gentle Ximen Ningning instantly turned into an incomparably bewitching, mysterious, and terrifying woman!

Her seductive and tempting body was vigorously revolved around with a green light.

“I cannot conceal anymore. But no matter how severe the consequences are, I will admit to them!”

“All of you shall die. Anyone who dared to harm my beloved family shall all die!”

The green light revolved around Ximen Ningning as she flew up into the sky. Her palms targeted the surging Qin Clan and struck out abruptly.

In an instant, a lump of giant green light burst forth and assaulted the Qin Clan’s army.

In a split moment, dozens of people went silent, they had completely perished!

“You, all of you shall die!”

“Swish Swish…”

Ningning burst out with terrifying green light as she shot at the Qin Clan’s army in a frenzy.

The terrifying Deep Sea Mystic Poison instantly robbed hundreds of lives.

But there were just too many soldiers from the Qin Clan that surged like a wave, instantly drowning out the one thousand Black Blood Cavalry.

This army from the Qin Clan had blood-red eyes that released an abnormal light as though they weren’t afraid of death.

Even though the brothers from the Black Blood Cavalry were fearless, they were still rapidly decreasing and were about to be wiped out soon.

Right at this moment, Yang Dingtian, whose eyes were shut, suddenly opened, he revealed bloodthirsty eyes. It was completely different from a human’s.

His entire body was enveloped with demonic beast-like violent killing qi.

He looked at the surging Qin Clan’s army.

Endless killing qi and the brutal sword spirit engulfed his body. Limitless fresh blood burst out from his body while a violent and powerful sword spirit tried to rip out from within his body.

“Kill… Kill… Kill!”

The inhuman Yang Dingtian flew up to the sky while he violent slashed with the giant sword. The brutal sword spirit attacked at the surround Qin Clan’s army.

Lumps of red light turned into savage beasts which were lunged towards the Qin Clan’s army.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

In an instant, the clustered Qin Clan’s army were turned into dust as their bodies were pulverized.

Yang Dingtian who was bound by the brutal sword spirit was just like a killer god that defied against heaven, reaping the lives of the Qin Clan’s army in a frenzy.

Yang Yan’s side had a drastic change in complexion as they couldn’t believe what they were seeing. He looked on at the killer god-like Yang Dingtian, he had this trembling fear in the depths of his heart!

The current Yang Dingtian was slaughtering the Qin Clan’s army in a frenzy. A single blade of his would reap dozens to a hundred lives!

But since fresh blood was constantly spraying violently out from his body, and his body swelling and blood-red in color. It seemed as though he was going to explode, burst in pieces, or even vanish into a puff of smoke at any moment.

Yang Dingtian was currently managing the brutal sword spirit and killing the strong with his weak body. Any other more moments might result in his soul scattering, resulting in his complete annihilation.

“Mother! Quickly knock out Xiao Tian! Quickly!” Ximen Ningning exclaimed.

Madam Ximen ignored Yang Yan and the others who were trying to kill her and rushed behind Yang Dingtian, knocking him out by striking on the back of his head.

Yang Dingtian, who nearly exploded was immediately knocked out, this prevented his bone-shattering ending. Right now, his entire body’s skin was splitting apart by the inches, he was riddled with wounds which were an appalling sight.

“Kill Yang Dingtian!” Yang Yan roared with fury.

Yang Yan, Ximen Ju, Tang Bozhao, and the others surrounded them in a frenzy as they tried to penetrate Madam Ximen and the others’ defenses to completely eliminate Yang Dingtian.

“Bang!” Suddenly, Yang Yan’s giant palm managed to strike Madam Ximen’s back.

“Pfff…” Madam Ximen spat out a mouthful of warm blood from her small mouth.

Concurrently, Yang Yan, Ximen Ju, and the others instantly surrounded the small group in order to kill Yang Dingtian. Ximen Ju’s speed was the fastest as he was the one who instantly rushed in front of Yang Dingtian.

“Don’t you even try to harm my Xiao Tian!”

At this moment, the wide-eyed Ximen Ningning’s body suddenly burst forth with a green light which expanded like a bomb.

The mystic qi that had Deep Sea Mystic Poison burst out in a giant halo that protected Yang Dingtian, Madam Ximen, and the others inside.

When Yang Yan and the others saw the attack, they frantically retreated like snakes and scorpions.

“Yanyan! Mother! Retreat back to Black Blood Castle! We will wait until next year’s winter’s Grand Martial Duel. Xiao Tian will kill his way back in Cloud Heaven City and eradicate all these traitors!”

*************

The sun and moon rotated while the stars shifted.

It was unknown how much time had passed, however, it felt as though it were countless years and days.

Yang Dingtian felt as though he was in purgatory at every moment. It felt as though his entire body was being boiled in the volcano’s magma, it was as if every inch of his body was splitting apart and getting dissolved before being bonded back together.

It was as though a scattered spirit soul or a dispersed universe that was slowly re-condensed and condensed!

The shattered body and mystic meridians were beginning to link back together bit by bit.

Finally, when the spirit soul dust gathered into a perfectly bright spirit soul, a completely assembled Yang Dingtian was reformed.

“Ahh!” Letting out a shout, Yang Dingtian struggled as though he was trying to break free from the shackles of purgatory. It was as though he was trying to break away from the evil claws of the grim reaper.

Yang Dingtian opened his eyes and abruptly sat up.

He realized he was stark naked and within a huge pot that had a burning fire that boiled the thick fluid within the pot. One of the fluids was blue while the other half was red. The blue portion felt like it had a bone-piercing chill that could penetrate blazing inferno to seep into his bone marrow. While the red portion was scalding oil, that was trying to smelt a body on his bones.

Everything in the dream realm was actually real and he was really being boiled in a pot. Within this pot were really half chilling ice and half blazing flames.

Yang Dingtian looked around and noticed that he was in a cave. But it wasn’t the eerie and sinister type of cave in the Temple of Blood. Every part of the cave had translucent and limpid jade rocks, which looked mysterious and beautiful.

“What exactly is this place?”

“How much time has passed?”

“I was releasing the sword soul in the plaza of the Cloud Heaven City… What happened later on?”

“Where is Yanyan? Where is Madam Ximen? What about Ningning? What about Big Brother Ximen Lie?”

Countless questions continued to rush in his head while Yang Dingtian yelled out, “Someone! Is there somebody…”

A snow-white figure walked in and it was a beautiful lass. Once she saw that Yang Dingtian had awakened, she immediately walked out again.

“Wait… wait…” Yang Dingtian asked, “Please, what is this place? Where is my wife?”
