Nine Yang Sword Saint

Chapter 296: Alliance Marriage with Foxman Race! Method to save Bingling!

In the past, the might released from this technique wouldn’t be very strong. However, it was different now. After possessing the Mystic Flame, this Birth of Heart Devil style was as if it were personally made for Yang Dingtian.

Yang Dingtian possessed the Million Spirit Demon Flame. It was formed from countless grievance spirits and fire attribute energy. Thus, making it most suitable for Birth of Heart Devil.

The Birth of Heart Devil might seem like it didn’t possess any assault power. However, it directly triggered the mystic qi flame within the opponent’s qi vessel, causing them to die from self-combustion.

It was extremely hard to achieve this.

If long as the opponent’s cultivation was higher than you, and they possessed a high amount of spiritual energy or had entered a vigilant state, this attack would no longer have any effect. Furthermore, it could be suppressed by mystic qi after showing its effect.

Therefore, this Birth of Heart Devil was practically useless if there weren’t the assistance of Mystic Flame. It was also because of this that the Birth of Heart Devil could only be added into the additional secret move of the 8th-grade mystic skill Devil Flame Saber Art regardless of how strong it was. Furthermore, in the past, although Yang Dingtian knew that the Birth of Heart Devil was extremely formidable, he still didn’t use this move when he was fighting against Ye Feng.

Now, Yang Dingtian possessed the Mystic Flame. He was able to silently ignite the mystic qi within Leiming’s qi vessel to cause a self-combustion. Furthermore, Leiming had courted his own death. When he heard that Yang Dingtian’s attack had ended and he didn’t receive any injuries, he started to open his mouth and rebuked at Yang Dingtian impatiently as he loosened his vigilance. Thus, allowing the flame to burn open his qi vessel silently and devour his body and life.

Just like this, with the secret mystic skill of Devil Flame Saber Art along with Leiming’s death, Yang Dingtian created this extremely shocking scene. He had given everyone a shock, including Xiangxiang Beila.

After everything came to an end, Yang Dingtian brushed his sleeves slightly under everyone’s shocked and frightened gaze. It was only during then did Yang Dingtian speak, “A moment ago, Leiming said that I had used chieftain Zhuri’s life and threatened Princess Xiangxiang Beila to offer her pure body. This matter is non-existent. Xiangxiang Beila, you can prove it to everyone.”

Xiangxiang Beila’s face turned slightly red. Subsequently, she tore open her sleeves and revealed a red mole on her jade arm. This indicated that she still possessed a pure body.

Subsequently, Yang Dingtian continued, “Once again, I swear that I have no intention to lay my finger on the Foxman Race chieftain’s position. After curing Chieftain Zhuri, I will leave the Foxman Race immediately. Furthermore, I don’t intend to force Princess Xiangxiang Beila to marry me.”

Immediately, the complexion of everyone present at the scene was filled with shame after they heard it.

Yang Dingtian had shown such benevolent grace to the Foxman Race. Previously, under the instigation of Leiming, the Foxman Race had actually started to doubt him. At this moment, the nobility and unquestionable integrity of Yang Dingtian had caused them to grow even more ashamed.

Of course, Yang Dingtian didn’t speak of the matter about Leiming colluding with outsiders to trap Zhuri Beila so that he could seize the chieftain position. If he were to speak of this, it would truly violate his expert demeanor as this could be visualized by everyone present or even declared by Princess Xiangxiang Beila.

“Senior brother Miejue, you have already helped the Foxman Race clean up their tribe. Can I leave now?” Ge Lu suddenly spoke out.

Yang Dingtian greeted immediately, “Senior brother Yin, what’re you saying? The reason I urged you to stay was that I have only encountered you, a human, in the gigantic East Parting Grassland. I have a lot of things that I wish to narrate to you. It was purely because I wanted to make friends with you, and there isn’t any hidden intention behind this.”

High priest Ge Lu smiled slightly, “I also wish to get close with senior brother Miejue. However, there’s too much inconvenience here. I have built an interim straw hut at the sun and moon lake that was at the edge of Foxman Race’s territory in the southeast. During this time, I want to tour around the surrounding landscape as well as harvest some medical ingredients. If senior brother Miejue is interested, brother Yin welcomes you with open arms!”

Yang Dingtian replied, “I will definitely pay a visit.”

It was only at this moment did Yang Dingtian lower his guard. It was fortunate that this Ge Lu didn’t seem to have the intention to turn hostile towards him. Otherwise, he was afraid that there wouldn’t be anyone who could make it out alive.

***

The remaining others left, leaving behind Yang Dingtian, Xiangxiang Beila, and Zhuri Beila in the room.

“Master Na Lu, Zhuri offers gratitude for your life-saving grace once again. Furthermore, I’m deeply sorry for the suspicion I had for you previously.” Zhuri Beila bowed deeply.

“Do not worry, chieftain.” Yang Dingtian replied hurriedly.

A moment ago, Xiangxiang Beila had told her father about Leiming’s conspiracy. However, she didn’t have the time to tell him about Yang Dingtian’s true identity. Furthermore, she didn’t have the approval of Yang Dingtian. Thus, Zhuri Beila still had no idea about it and kept on thinking that Yang Dingtian before him was Miejue Toutuo from the Sea of Hades.

Yang Dingtian removed his mantle hurriedly and tore down his mask, revealing his real face.

“Chieftain, I don’t deserve this.” Yang Dingtian returned the politeness, “Xiangxiang Beila and I are good friends. Therefore, you’re also my senior. I don’t dare to have any thoughts of deceiving. I’m not Sea of Hades’ Miejue Toutuo. I’m the Shen Lang you had met before previously. Of course, Shen Lang is not my true identity, as well. My true identity is Yang Dingtian, Yang Dingtian from Cloud Heaven City.”

There was a reason why Yang Dingtian had revealed his true identity. First of all, Yang Dingtian had already revealed his Shen Lang identity. Since he had already disclosed his Shen Lang identity, he might as well reveal everything.

“It’s you?” Zhuri Beila commented in disbelief, “When did you possess such a remarkable ability? You’re Yang Dingtian?”

Zhuri Beila had come into contact with Shen Lang twice. During the first contact, he was extremely indifferent and wasn’t very delighted at all. The second contact was when he was fighting against the Qin Huaiyu trio. Yang Dingtian wasn’t willing to injure him. Therefore, Zhuri Beila became grateful to him for that time. However, he had no idea that this person was actually Yang Dingtian.

“You heard of my name before?” Yang Dingtian inquired in astonishment.

“Of course.” Zhuri Beila replied, “I have always wished to get close with humans. Therefore, I had always paid attention to human affairs. Half a year ago, I had heard of your name numerous times. During that time, I was able to determine that your future cultivation would only be preceded by Dongfang Bingling and would be not inferior to Qin Huaiyu and the other youth experts.”

Subsequently, Zhuri Beila continued, “But never have I imagined that you would be even more outstanding than what I had imagined. Regardless was it the means to save a person or your cultivation advancement, it was completely unpredictable.”

Yang Dingtian replied in embarrassment, “I might seem mysterious to others. However, I want to speak the truth before you. Actually, the reason why I was able to save you was not because of any tricks. I don’t know any treatment methods at all. It’s because I possess a precious elixir that could bring a person back from death. I have obtained it from a secret realm. It was this elixir that had brought you back to life.”

Zhuri Beila was immediately emotionally moved, “How many of those elixirs did you obtain in the secret realm? You have unexpectedly used one of them on me, who is a total stranger to you. That was a true heaven and earth treasure.”

Yang Dingtian commented, “Three of them. I had used the first elixir on an injured old man while I used the second elixir on you. I intend to use the third elixir on my wife.”

Zhuri Beila gave a deep bow once again after he heard Yang Dingtian’s words, “There’s a total of three precious elixirs. Yet, you had actually used them on strangers. I had never seen someone as noble as you. All along, I wished to get closer with humans. However, I was filled with disappointment after encountering Qin Huaiyu and the others. Now, I have finally met a righteous and noble person. This caused my opinion to return to its past.”

Yang Dingtian continued, “I don’t dare to receive such compliments. Xiangxiang Beila is my good friend. Furthermore, as the Half-Human Race that was close to the human, you’re of extreme importance to me. I merely did what I was supposed to do.”

Currently, Xiangxiang Beila could no longer hold herself back as she inquired, “Big brother Shen Lang, the way you killed Leiming was truly too mysterious and formidable. What exactly happened?”

Yang Dingtian replied, “It’s just a pretentious trick. It would appear that I had indifferently brandished the iron rod. In fact, this iron rod was my treasure sword and was a divine weapon. Furthermore, that brandish of mine was one of the most formidable mystic skills I had learned and was one of the fatal attacks I had used with all my strength. If Leiming had placed all his heart to defending, he wouldn’t have died. However, he impatiently let his guard down and started to quarrel with me. Ultimately, I took advantage of it and burnt him alive.”

“Virtuous nephew Yang, did you obtain the Million Spirit Demon Flame?” All of a sudden, Zhuri Beila inquired.

Originally, Yang Dingtian was supposed to be astonished. However, he didn’t express it. Rather, he nodded naturally, “Correct. This was completely an accident. The flame that Yan Bieqin had devoured was just a void flame. The true Million Spirit Demon Flame was only born after the Yin Yang Mountain had disappeared. Furthermore, that Million Spirit Demon Flame personally chose its owner. Actually, I was also extremely surprised that I had obtained this Mystic Flame, although I had put in a lot of effort to obtain it as well.”

“This is really the will of heaven. In the future, you will certainly become the strongest person in this world.” Zhuri Beila commented, “What about Grand Elder Ba Bi?”

“She had died. Her son had died as well.” Yang Dingtian explained, “However, I’m not the one who killed her.”

“I know. Her cultivation was a lot higher than you. She was definitely the cause of her own death.” Zhuri Beila continued, “Furthermore, the relationship between us is extremely complicated. Also, I wouldn’t feel sorry about her death. I also wouldn’t want to know how she died.”

Subsequently, Zhuri Beila stared at Yang Dingtian and spoke, “Without a doubt, you will become the leader of humanity in the future or at least one of the leaders. So, what are your thoughts on the Half-Human Race?”

At this moment, Zhuri Beila’s expression was extremely serious. It could be said that this was the question he was most concerned about and was also his biggest dream. He wasn’t really interested in being the leader of the Foxman Race. His lifelong dream was to find a way to coexist with humans.

Previously he rejected Yang Dingtian coldly when he had represented the Northwest Qin City to negotiate on their alliance. In fact, Zhuri Beila attached great importance over the matters of allying with the humans. Of course, it was of great importance, but he wasn’t impatient.

Yang Dingtian replied solemnly, “My strategic philosophy was extremely clear. A harmony between the Half-Human Race and Human Race. Otherwise, there will be a day where a large-scale battle would take place between the Half-Human Race and the Human Race, and this would bring forth a terrifying result to the whole world. Currently, the leaders of human society, Heaven Dao Union and Evil Dao, are in conflict with each other. Once this conflict is resolved, it would become the Half-Human Race and Human Race’s turn. This will also become the major conflict in the Primal Chaos World. Furthermore, this conflict would be even more terrifying as the battles would be even more desperate.”

Immediately, Zhuri Beila’s body trembled when he heard this, “How can we live in harmony? How can we eliminate the wide gap between the Half-Human Race and Human Race?”

“Interspecies marriage.” Yang Dingtian replied, “Furthermore, we will have to eliminate all the violent and murderous Half-Human Race. And also return those frantic and barbarous races to their demonic beasts ranking. The humans will choose those Half-Human Race who are intelligent and gentle to intermarry with. After several hundred years or even longer, it will cause the Human Race and the Half-Human Race to live together in harmony.”

After Yang Dingtian spoke, Zhuri Beila’s breathing grew heavy immediately, “Good. If sometime in the future, you’re to become the leader of Heaven Dao Union, how are you going to handle the internal affairs of the Human Race?”

“Eliminate the Evil Dao, Heaven Dao Union, and the mindset of martial arts means superiority. I will turn the whole world into a country where I will liberate the majority of them and let them learn production and construction. I will get a big majority of them to abandon martial arts as I establish a completely different civilization.” Yang Dingtian replied, “Of course, this goal is too great and far off. Perhaps, it couldn’t be achieved even after several hundred or thousands of years. However, we will need to do this. Otherwise, the whole Primal Chaos Continent would be destroyed. I can faintly sense that the ancient Great Dark Extermination happened because the martial arts had advanced to its pinnacle. The whole Primal Chaos Continent couldn’t bear the demand of energy from countless formidable martial artists. Therefore, it caused the Great Dark Extermination to occur. The whole world was turned upside down, and regardless was it the Human Race or the Half-Human Race, they had almost been annihilated. I think that it was a warning given to us from the Primal Chaos Continent. If we aren’t going to wake up, there will be a day where the Great Dark Extermination will occur once again. And this time, it will be total annihilation.”

Zhuri Beila was deep in thoughts for a long time after Yang Dingtian had finished narrating.

After a long time, he gave Yang Dingtian a deep bow, “Now, I understood what a grand ambition is and what is a lofty ambition. Compared to your dream, Qin Wanchou and Patriarch Zhu are just frogs at the bottom of the well. In fact, dozens of years ago, I had already stopped pursuing martial arts. I have wandered around the world and thought of a lot of things. However, I was unable to figure out anything regarding the Great Dark Extermination. This point of yours had given me the light of day within the darkness. It had instantly allowed me to understand many things and suddenly see the light.”

Subsequently, Zhuri Beila continued, “If so, how do you intend to accomplish your dream?”

“Become stronger, and stronger, and stronger…” Yang Dingtian replied, “Use violence to curb violence. Become an unrivaled sovereign. Be strong to the point that even after Patriarch Zhu, Qin Wanchou, Dugu Xiao, and the others had formed an alliance, they couldn’t even be compared to a finger of mine. During then, it would be time for me to carry out my dream.”

Immediately, Zhuri Beila was deeply shocked once again. After remaining silent for a good while, he replied unhurriedly, “Previously, when I heard of Yang Dingtian, I had always thought that your dream was to defeat Dongfang Bingling, kill Patriarch Zhu, revive the Cloud Heaven City and take back your Yin Yang Sect Patriarch position. But now, all of these are just minor aspirations of yours.”

“All of these you spoke of was my dream previously. But after I witnessed the Five Elements Hall Secret Realm and discovered how magnificent the secret realm was, I knew it was something we wouldn’t be able to achieve currently. Furthermore, a lot of the profound secret realms were left behind by the ancient civilization. Therefore, I thought that if I had achieved those objectives where I had defeated Dongfang Bingling, killed Patriarch Zhu, took back my Yin Yang Sect Patriarch position, what would I be pursuing next? So what if I’m strong? Could I compare with those experts from ancient times? Furthermore, even if I’m stronger than those ancient times experts, I still wouldn’t be able to stop the Great Dark Extermination from happening. If so, what was the point of me becoming stronger?” Yang Dingtian continued, “Therefore, after I left the secret realm, I started to have the thoughts of abolishing the martial arts civilization and using violence to curb violence. Of course, all of these would have to wait until I truly become formidable. Otherwise, all of these are just dreams.”

Zhuri Beila stared at Yang Dingtian for a long time before reaching out his hand, “A lot of people laughed at me for being a ridiculous idealist. Now, this ridiculous idealist is willing to form an alliance with you. When you’re strong enough, my whole Foxman Race will stand behind your back and become a portion of strength that would help you achieve your ambition.”

At first, Yang Dingtian was slightly taken aback. Subsequently, he also extended out his hand and shook Zhuri Beila’s hand.

Zhuri Beila continued, “Unfortunately, I can only represent myself and form an alliance with you and not the whole Foxman Race. If you want the whole Foxman Race to form an alliance with you, you will need to reach the Grandmaster class. The Half-Human Race always reveres the strong.”

“I understand.” Yang Dingtian replied.

Subsequently, Zhuri Beila commented, “If so, why did you come to the Foxman Race for? Don’t tell me you’re here just to save me?”

Yang Dingtian shook his head, “I only learned of your injuries after I have arrived at the Foxman Race. My arrival this time was because I wished for your help.”

“Speak. So long as it’s within my capabilities.” Zhuri Beila commented.

Yang Dingtian carried Dongfang Bingling, who was at the side, “I want to save this woman. Her cultivation is extremely formidable, and her body is also extremely healthy. But because she had prolonged her cultivation when she was unconscious and didn’t manage to wake up in time, it caused her divine senses to come to a stop. Thus, she could no longer wake up. Therefore, I needed someone who possessed an extremely formidable spiritual technique that could awaken the weakest link at the depths of her divine sense. It would completely activate her consciousness and help her awaken.”

“Who is she? Your lover?” Xiangxiang Beila inquired hastily even before Zhuri Beila had spoken. The expression within her beautiful eyes also looked somewhat complex.

“Nope. Strictly speaking, she can be counted as my enemy.” Yang Dingtian replied after hesitating for a moment, “Actually, she’s Dongfang Bingling.”

Zhuri Beila wasn’t really surprised by it after Yang Dingtian mentioned her name. In fact, he had more or less guessed it. Furthermore, he knew that Dongfang Bingling was under the central lake when he was fighting against Qin Huaiyu.

“Spiritual Master, an extremely formidable Spiritual Master?” Zhuri Beila inquired.

“Yes. Only an extremely formidable Spiritual Master would be able to awaken Dongfang Bingling.” Yang Dingtian replied.

“There’s such a person.” Zhuri Beila commented, “He’s the Spiritual Leader of the whole East Parting Grassland. He practically possesses a paramount position among all the Half-Human Race. And among the hearts of the majority of the Half-Human Race, he was close to a deity-like person.”
