Chapter 197: Running Bride?At Cloud Heaven City!

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Yang Dingtian was truly at his wit’s end.

The current Ling Wu was completely on the verge of collapse. As it turned out, her earlier determination was mainly pretentious. She was still a woman after all, and she was a beautiful woman that was rarely seen. She was also the honorable young lady of Inferno Island and the dream lover for many men on the island. It was natural for her to be reserved and prideful.

But, she was truly powerless against Yang Dingtian. Hence, she went to seek advice from the women of the island, and those women taught her this method. They said that this method was tested and proven.

But Yang Dingtian ultimately refused. It had nearly crumbled her pride and willpower, thus the reason for placing the sword on her neck.

Yang Dingtian knew this was troublesome, and he had to say something to mediate this situation, or else, it might really become a tragic ending.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian replied seriously, “It isn’t like this, Ling Wu. You are an extraordinary woman. If I agree to your request so recklessly, I will be irresponsible to both parties. But, I am not that inflexible either, and I feel that we both need time to baptize each other. A few years later, if you heard that I didn’t perish in the battle against Dongfang Bingling and you have yet to marry another man. When that time comes, if you are still willing, you can come and look for me, okay? But let’s not let such ‘things’ happen between us so easily; otherwise, I will be carrying a deep burden.”

“Are you speaking the truth?” Ling Wu spoke with an ecstatic tone.

“It is the truth.” Yang Dingtian responded.

“Alright, then. But you need to put down advance payment.” Ling Wu said and immediately leaped over with a kiss.

All of a sudden, Yang Dingtian’s lips felt a slight pain as he was bit down ruthlessly by Ling Wu. It was truly painful, and fresh blood rushed forth immediately.

“I bit you so that you will not forget about me in the future.” When Ling Wu saw Yang Dingtian’s lips with blood, her eyes instantly flowed out with tears due to the pain in her heart. She trembled as she said, “The more painful the bite, the deeper the memory.”

Immediately after, Ling Wu reached out her petite hand and rubbed the surface of the scar and the blood on it.

As Ling Wu gently let go of Yang Dingtian, she said in a tender voice, “I am leaving. Otherwise, I am worried that you will regret what you said earlier.”

Afterward, Ling Wu left step by step with reluctance.

“I am leaving. When you are departing tomorrow, I shall not see you off.”

Ling Wu spoke with a gentle voice, and her beautiful eyes revealed limitless sentiments as though she was trying to remember Yang Dingtian’s face deeply before she turned and left.

Yang Dingtian was instantly disconcerted and suddenly felt at a loss!

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

The next day before daybreak, Yang Dingtian had already gotten up from the bed.

Of course, he didn’t sleep at all as it was impossible for him to sleep.

He wore his mask and concealed his youngling sword before retrieving another treasure sword. He enveloped himself in a black cloak, and while there were still remnants of the night, he was escorted by Ling Zhong alone. He then boarded a small boat and departed from Inferno Island.

Ling Wu stayed true to her words and didn’t see him off.

“Nephew Yan, I don’t care who you are. You just have to remember that no matter what, Inferno Island is your home.” Ling Zhong had been silent along the way, and when Yang Dingtian was about to board the boat, he suddenly spoke.

“I will remember.” Yang Dingtian said, “I will always remember Inferno Island. I will always remember you and Young Lady Ling Wu.”

Afterward, Yang Dingtian leaped onto the boat and paddled gently and gradually left Inferno Island and towards the Northwest Continent.

Just as he was a few hundred meters away from Inferno Island, there was a charming figure that ran over from the island rapidly.

It was Ling Wu, and she was actually wearing a fiery red long dress, a dress that she had never worn before. She was lifting her long dress and running on the pier as she yelled out, “Yan Nantian, I know that you were lying to me yesterday, but I treated it as the truth. I am wearing a fiery red wedding gown right now. You better remember that I have married you, Yan Nantian yesterday, and you have also agreed personally. You better remember that from today onwards, I am a woman of yours, Yan Nantian!”

Yang Dingtian was utterly shocked!

He truly didn’t expect that Ling Wu would actually use such a trick. She actually wore a fiery red wedding gown to send him off and to express her final resolution.

When Yang Dingtian said those things yesterday night, he was truly trying to delay time. But he didn’t expect that he had fallen into this shrewish woman’s plot.

Yang Dingtian’s heart was instantly overwhelmed with emotions. He didn’t say half a word and desperately rowed the boat.

Ling Wu continued to lift her dress and run desperately, but she was getting further away from Yang Dingtian. Finally, when she was running, she was howling and wailing too.

She was trying her best to grasp, but her most beloved person was still getting further and further. Finally, he vanished into the remnants of the night and into the mist that appeared before dawn!

Her delicate body couldn’t take it anymore, and her legs went soft. She sat on the muddy ground and wailed miserably, while her beautiful bright red wedding gown was stained by mud.

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

When it was daybreak, Yang Dingtian had already arrived on the shore of the Northwest Continent.

He bought a fast horse and traveled through day and night for long hours, rushing to cross over 6,000 miles to reach the Cloud Heaven City.

He wanted to rescue Madam Ximen, Ximen Lie, over 2,000 brothers of the Black Blood Cavalry. He wasn’t going to allow them to become moths flying into the flame.

He wanted to restore his reputation that was nearly destroyed, and he wanted to save the qualification to contest for the City Lord position of the Cloud Heaven City that he was about to lose.

He wanted to save everything! From the hands of the despicable enemies, from the hands of the pretentious enemies.

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

During these few days, the air around Cloud Heaven City seemed to have congealed. It felt as though countless dark clouds were accumulating and were preparing a giant thunderbolt that was going to destroy heaven and earth.

Many people had noticed that the missing Black Blood Cavalry had gradually returned one after the other.

Subsequently, they stood at the plaza in front of Cloud Heaven City. They didn’t do anything, and when they arrived, they dismounted their horses and sat quietly beside their horses.

Afterward, more and more of them arrived.

Finally, more than 2,000 Black Blood Cavalry brothers had occupied half of the plaza in front of Cloud Heaven City.

At this instant, there was a black mass at the plaza in front of Cloud Heaven City.

They didn’t say anything, and their faces were filled with utter determination and the unfeeling expression that was ready for death. They were concealing the soaring killing qi and flames in their hearts, while they had the determination of moths wanting to fly into the fire.

Immediately after, Ximen Lie had arrived!

So did Madam Ximen!

Everyone in the Cloud Heaven City instantly felt a suffocating sensation!

But, Ximen Nu didn’t react; neither did Yang Yan!

Shortly after, the thousands of cavalry troops of the Heaven Dao Union’s Northwest Branch departed from Cloud Heaven City and finally stopped at the plaza in front of the Cloud Heaven City gates too.

They were all wielding golden armor and giant swords.

The Heaven Dao Union’s golden cavalry army stood on the left with 3,000 men.

The Black Blood Cavalry’s black cavalry army stood on the right with 2,000 men.

The black and gold colors stood there silently while looking at each other coldly. They were ready to draw their giant swords at any time and ready for combat!

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

Everyone in the Cloud Heaven City felt an extremely stifling qi presence. They didn’t dare to talk loudly or walk forcefully. They felt that a single commotion would immediately ignite this barrel of explosives and cause a giant explosion.

On the fifth and final day...

Qin Huaiyu appeared and brought along 3,000 Qin Clan’s cavalry soldiers. He marched into the Cloud Heaven City majestically and silently ascended the city walls. His soldiers then silently opened up the giant crossbows and aimed at the Black Blood Cavalry below.

After that, the members of the Heaven Dao Union arrived at Cloud Heaven City in succession.

When they walked past Madam Ximen and Ximen Lie, they merely took an indifferent glance without saying a thing and left them behind without hesitation.

Every one of them led around a hundred warriors and entered the Cloud Heaven City.

When the sun was up, Ximen Nu led close to 1,000 cavalry soldiers and appeared outside the Cloud Heaven City. They were positioned behind the Black Blood Cavalry and had obstructed their path of retreat.

After 8 to 9 am, another one of the Northwest Clan’s infantry appeared outside the Cloud Heaven City and had sealed off all the passages on the Cloud Heaven Mountain.

At this moment, over 2,000 brothers from the Black Blood Cavalry had been surrounded by 10,000 men without a route of retreat.

If a battle started, they would definitely be like moths flying into the fire!

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

At noontime, in the tallest castle of the Cloud Heaven City, the Heaven Dao Union’s Northwest Conference had officially started.

All 39 members of the Heaven Dao Union’s Northwest Branch had turned out in full strength.

The result of the conference would decide the final fate for Yang Dingtian, for the Black Blood Cavalry, for Madam Ximen, and for Ximen Lie.

Yang Dingtian had to seize the essential third rank of Pig Slaying Sword Art from this group of wolves in Cloud Heaven City.

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

Right now, Yang Dingtian was still 50 miles away from Cloud Heaven City!

He was covered in dirt and leaning onto the horse while galloping towards Cloud Heaven City like a madman.

In less than five days, he had traversed over 6,000 miles on a horse.

Hopefully, he wasn’t going to be late!

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

“In view of the trial by the duel between Yang Dingtian and Qin Shaobai. Yang Dingtian had used the Evil Soul Art, and there is a bulk of the evidence. Before the duel, Yang Dingtian had made a trip to the Land of Chaos, and there were traces of proof that he was heading towards the Temple of Ten Thousand Blood.” Yang Yan said loudly, “Hence, we have sufficient justification for believing that Yang Dingtian has already joined the Evil Dao and is a traitor of the Heaven Dao Union.”

“Yang Yan, you are simply slandering!” Madam Ximen abruptly stood up and yelled, “What evidence do you have to prove that Yang Dingtian attacked Qin Shaobai with the Evil Soul Art?”

Yang Yan said indifferently, “I would have to ask Madam Ximen. Back then, Yang Dingtian’s cultivation was one class and eleven stages inferior to Qin Shaobai and was still able to defeat him. Has there been such a case in the history of a thousand years? That’s right; there is such an example. It was over two hundred years when Li Tianxiao had battled against the Third Young Master Qin in the past. Li Tianxiao had also defeated an opponent that was one class and more than ten stages superior to him. But finally, the facts had proven that Li Tianxiao was a spy from the Evil Dao, and he had used the Evil Soul Art. Li Tianxiao had done so, so did Yang Dingtian.”

Madam Ximen sneered and said, “Did you not hear what Yang Dingtian said? He didn’t use the Evil Soul Art and had released his sword soul!”

“This is the most ridiculous excuse in the world!” Yang Yan interrupted with a cold voice. “How many individuals in this world were able to cultivate a sword soul? Merely three. Sect Patriarch Dongfang, City Lord Ximen, and the Hidden Sect Patriarch. No one knows where Sect Patriarch Dongfang is now, and City Lord Ximen has already perished, while the Hidden Sect Patriarch had been in seclusion for a century. I heard that no one had cultivated another sword soul in this world? How old is Yang Dingtian? What cultivation class is he? He used a sword soul to defeat Qin Shaobai? Madam Ximen, are you treating everyone here as idiots?”

Once Yang Yan said this, everyone present immediately scoffed.

“If Yang Dingtian used a youngling sword to defeat Qin Shaobai, it would mean that the twin suns must have risen in the west and set in the east.” Yang Yan spoke resolutely and decisively, “Thus, Yang Dingtian must have used the Evil Soul Art to defeat Qin Shaobai! In this world, only the Evil Soul Art would have such power. Hence, Yang Dingtian must be a spy from the Evil Dao. There is no doubt at all!”
