Chapter 244: Contending Against the Qin Clan’s Father and Son, Obtaining the Map (Part 2)

Of course, Qin Huaiyu knew that Ye Feng was using the Devil Encirclement Mystic Art, he was surprised because Yang Dingtian knew about it too. At that time, many of the audience could see that Ye Feng’s final move wasn’t a good kind, in fact, it was related to the Evil Dao. But there were less than four or five individuals who knew it was the Devil Encirclement Mystic Art. Qin Huaiyu didn’t expect Yang Dingtian to know it.

Qin Huaiyu suddenly asked, “There are only a handful of individuals who know of this Devil Encirclement Mystic Art. Why do you know it, and how did you neutralize it?”

Yang Dingtian said, “My master had shocked the world when he reached the Master class with the status of a wandering martial artist 17 years ago. Furthermore, he was only 47 years old back then. Everyone believed that in another ten years, my master would become a Grandmaster. But no one expected that shortly after, my master had disappeared completely from the vision of everyone in this world, causing huge confusion.”

“That’s right.” Qin Wanchou said, “If I calculate it, your master is actually my senior. I have also once especially went over to visit him, but he had already vanished without a trace. Until now, I have considered this truly regrettable.”

Yang Dingtian said, “Actually, my master didn’t willingly withdraw from this world back then, it was because he had suffered serious injuries. Lord Qin might have heard of this that my master was the banished disciple of Dugu Jianmen. He might have an extreme personality and treated the disciples from prestigious factions with disdain; he ultimately treated himself as a member of the Heaven Dao Union in his heart and completely viewed evil with a vengeance. During those years, when Heaven Dao Union members encountered Evil Dao members, their attitudes were rather ambiguous, but my master was very extreme. As soon as he would encounter an Evil Dao disciple, he would kill without mercy. Thus, countless Evil Dao members have fallen by the hands of my master.”

Qin Wanchou commented, “That is right. I have heard about it too.”

Yang Dingtian carried on, “Seventeen years ago, my master encountered an Evil Dao woman who was around 30 years old and already had the cultivation of a Martial Supreme class. Without hesitation, my master pursued her for thousands of miles. He felt that this woman had brilliant innate talents, and in the future, she would surely be a scourge for the Heaven Dao Union. That Evil Dao woman begged in every possible method and was unsuccessful with her seduction. Without any other method left to try, she executed the Devil Encirclement Mystic Art, causing her cultivation to instantly rise from the Martial Supreme class to the Master class. But despite the case, she still died under the saber of my master. However, my master was also injured because of it and had nearly lost his life. Back then, I just happened to suffer misfortune and was wandering everywhere. I unintentionally encountered my master and dragged him for dozens of miles, taking care of him for half a year.”

When speaking until this part, Yang Dingtian’s eyes were slightly reddened, and his breath was getting erratic.

“Master might have kept his life, but he had lost nearly all of his cultivation, and his entire body’s mystic meridians had been ruined. Without any hopes of recovery, it made him discouraged. As a result, my master chose to live in seclusion and shun the world. My innate talents might not be considered good, but my master didn’t have any other choice and had to pick me as his successor.” Yang Dingtian’s eyes were filled with tears as he said, “However, I wasn’t very interested in the martial arts, and even though my innate talents weren’t bad, I was already 27 years old, and even if master nurtured me with everything, I was merely able to break through to the Martial Mystic class.”

Yang Dingtian was currently playing the role of the 27-year-old Shen Lang. It was already considered incredible to reach the Martial Mystic class at this age, but it was nothing in the eyes of Qin Huaiyu and Qin Wanchou. Hence, when Yang Dingtian was talking, they didn’t have any reaction and continued waiting for Yang Dingtian to explain further.

“The Devil Encirclement Mystic Art ruined everything that belonged to my master; therefore, for the rest of his time, he had been researching this evil technique. He had come up with plenty of solutions but was confident with none of them. During the martial contest with Ye Feng, I didn’t have any time to prepare my thoughts when he executed the Devil Encirclement Mystic Art. Thus, I picked the most logical neutralization method that master had mentioned.”

Yang Dingtian continued saying, “Lord Qin, you surely knew that this Devil Encirclement Mystic Art’s principle is to use a very mysterious and powerful technique to create a temporary qi vessel that revolves at rapid speed. The faster this temporary qi vessel revolves, the more mystic qi it could engulf and condense. Hence, my master suggested that we could also create a similar mystic qi energy form that also revolves rapidly. This way, when the energy form clashes with that temporary qi vessel, it would cause mutual disturbance and destruction while absorbing each other at the same time.”

When Yang Dingtian finished his statement, Qin Wanchou’s eyebrows instantly spread out.

“Originally, I didn’t expect it to succeed truly. Actually, I had a doubt that I might die from trying it as well.” Yang Dingtian said.

Qin Huaiyu asked, “Then isn’t your master’s method another version of the Devil Encirclement Mystic Art?”

Yang Dingtian shook his head and said, “It isn’t the same. Master tried it plenty of times. When we create the rapidly revolving mystic qi energy form, it can’t engulf or condense the mystic qi. Although our energy form is revolving at a speed that is faster than the Devil Encirclement Mystic Art’s temporary qi vessel. In regards to this point, my master wasn’t able to solve it until the end.”

Everything that Yang Dingtian said was basically 80% factual.

Among his explanations, the disappearance of the Saber Monarch, Xi Ying was true. But the encounter of the Evil Dao woman who used the Devil Encirclement Mystic Art was fake. Dongfang Niemie encountered her and had killed her. The battle’s situation was rather dangerous back then, but that woman wasn’t able to cause much harm to Dongfang Niemie.

The neutralization method of the Devil Encirclement Mystic Art that Yang Dingtian mentioned wasn’t entirely baseless either. Dongfang Niemie thought of this method a long time before coming up with it. Previously, Dongfang Niemie felt that this method was definitely going to work, but in reality, it was a mistake. But purely in terms of theory, it was enough to convince anyone.

Hence, Yang Dingtian’s explanation could be said to be completely flawless.

After listening to Yang Dingtian’s explanation, Qin Wanchou and Qin Huaiye fell silent.

A few minutes later, Qin Huaiyu broke the silence and asked, “Did you go to the East Parting Grassland before?”

“Yes, it was a few years ago.” Yang Dingtian replied.

“Why did you go there? Humans and the half-human race are entirely different. Almost no one would go to the East Parting Grassland.” Qin Huaiyu asked.

Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, “I have mentioned that I do not have a great interest in martial arts. My dream is to wander the world and unearth this world’s deepest secrets, with the ultimate goal to save the world.”

Qin Wanchou’s eyes flashed as he looked over, “You feel that this world will be in danger?”

“Yes.” Yang Dingtian said, “I can faintly feel that this world is going to face the change of world extinction soon.”

Qin Huaiyu asked, “Are you intentionally voicing exaggerated words of crisis?”

“Of course not.” Yang Dingtian explained, “In this millennium, why do the battles of world extinction happen every few centuries? How did Heaven Dao Union win every battle of world extinction, but the victories are never thorough? What exactly is the Hidden Sect? What relationship do they have with the Shrine of Ten Thousand Extermination? These are the things of my lifelong pursuit.”

Qin Wanchou looked deeply at Yang Dingtian and said, “You feel that a world extinction is arriving. What is your basis?”

Yang Dingtian said, “In the Icebound Continent, thousands of miles in the north. Tens of millions of the Maori Barbarian Tribe has completely vanished. They have evaporated from this world without a reason or cause.”

Qin Wanchou didn’t continue investigating this question and asked something else, “You have visited the East Parting Grassland. What is the attitude the Half-Human Race has towards the Humans?”

Yang Dingtian replied, “The Half-Human Races are roughly divided into four kinds of communities.”

“The first kind has extreme hostility towards human civilization and wishes to exterminate the Humans. Among them, the Wolfman Race is the leader.”

“The second kind admires human civilization and desires to get closer to Humans. But harbor resentment and fear at the same time. They are represented by the Foxman Race.

“The third kind doesn’t want to do anything with the so-called human civilization and wants to isolate from human civilization completely. There are many races in this community, and there isn’t a prominent representative.”

“The final kind is the Tigerman Race, Lionman Race. These races are leaning towards being wild and free. They are actually more demonic beasts than Humans.”

Without a doubt, Yang Dingtian had done ample homework on this topic.

Qin Wanchou asked, “In that painting that you drew during the feast. Which exact location is it on the East Parting Grassland?”

The highlight had arrived, and it was a crucial moment.

Yang Dingtian shook his head, “Apologies, I do not remember the exact location of this place. Perhaps it is simply an incomplete place. It is just a summary of my deepest impression of the East Parting Grassland. I used the mountains in the north, the water in the west, the cows and goats in the south, and combined them into a painting. This is a kind of artwork.”

“En.” After hearing Yang Dingtian’s explanation, Qin Wanchou took a deep breath and closed his eyes gradually.

The decisive moment was about to arrive, and Yang Dingtian could feel the stifling sensation. This moment would determine if he could obtain the other half of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame’s map.

Qin Wanchou opened his eyes and nodded to Qin Huaiyu.

Qin Huaiyu took off a ring on his hand and poured in some mystic qi. Instantly, the entire ring melted and revealed a transparent crystal within. He then crushed the crystal and retrieved a small cloth from it.

After taking a look at this cloth, Qin Huaiyu handed it to Yang Dingtian and said, “Take a look. Where exactly is this place on the map?”

All of a sudden, Yang Dingtian’s breathing got sluggish.

‘This is the other half of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame’s map. I have gone through all the trouble and nearly lost my life. Right now, the other half of the map has finally appeared in front of me.’

Whether he could become stronger, whether he could forge the true soul sword, whether he could cultivate a sword soul, whether he could take back the Cloud Heaven City Lord’s position, even whether he could defeat Dongfang Bingling four… It was all entirely up to this little piece of a map.

“You seem to be very nervous?” Qin Huaiyu suddenly asked and pierced Yang Dingtian with his eyes.

Yang Dingtian had immediately entered a dangerous moment. If he were to arouse Qin Huaiyu’s suspicion, he would get killed in an instant.

The closer one was about to complete the task, the tougher it was. Right now, Yang Dingtian was just one step away to obtain the other half of the Mystic Flame’s map. But this was also the most important step that he must execute flawlessly; otherwise, everything he had done previously would be in vain, and he would have to die without leaving a corpse behind.
