Chapter 836 The Critical Moment (1)

“I will come back,” Ding Hao added firmly and resolutely.

“Well, I will always wait for you, even if I become an old hag.” Li Lan held Ding Hao’s hand tightly and pointed to the pink peach blossom trees behind him. She also said firmly, “I will wait for you here at this time every day.”

Ding Hao nodded. He cupped her beautiful face in his hands and kissed her.

He did not have any unrealistic fancies in his heart.

It felt so enchanting as if they were in perfect harmony.

Right at this moment...

Among the stars all over the sky, one of them suddenly flashed as if it was suddenly dropped. It silently fell from the dark sky with a long tail toward the Sword-hidden Peak.

Ding Hao frowned and looked up.

The dark red flowing star was getting closer. It turned out to be a phoenix-shaped flame, rushing straight to Ding Hao and Li Lan like a living creature.

Ding Hao raised his hand, and the flaming phoenix landed in Ding Hao’s palm. It was beautiful and bright as if it were a living creature.

Ding Hao’s mind obtained a strange message.

“Is it her?” Li Lan asked softly.

Ding Hao nodded. It was indeed a message from Xie Jieyu.

“Now the Human Clan and the Demon Clan are mutually antagonistic. I don’t know why Junior Sister Jieyu can become the Saintess of the Demon Clan as a person from the Human Clan. However, if she continues to live in the Immortal Phoenix Palace as the Saintess of the Demon Clan, a Holy War will break out between the two clans sooner or later. I’m afraid that you will be in a dilemma at that time.” Li Lan was slightly worried.

She knew that Ding Hao was a person who valued relationships very much, and he had a deep affection for Xie Jieyu. Li Lan was not opposed to Ding Hao’s love for other women, because polygamy was a tradition on the Land of Infinity. However, she was worried that Xie Jieyu’s identity would cause much trouble to Ding Hao sooner or later.

Now Ding Hao was extremely prestigious in the Human Clan of the Northern Region. But if one day he was accused of colluding with the Demon Clan because of Xie Jieyu, his reputation would be ruined overnight.

It would be best if he could persuade Xie Jieyu to break away from the Immortal Phoenix Palace as soon as possible.

At the moment, there were only two things that mattered to Li Lan: one was the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, and the other was Ding Hao and their daughter.

Li Lan was willing to pay any price for them.

She would never allow Ding Hao to become the sinner of the Human Clan because of Xie Jieyu.

In her opinion, if she were Xie Jieyu, even Ding Hao didn’t mention it, she would have taken the initiative to break away from the Immortal Phoenix Palace, abandon the status of Saintess of the Demon Clan, and break away from the Demon Clan. She believed that if it were Li Yiruo or Ximen Qianxue, they would also make the same decision. Therefore, she had always been very generous to them and even admitted the fact that they were Ding Hao’s women.

If Xie Jieyu loved Ding Hao, what else couldn’t she give up?

Li Lan had been thinking about it all the time.

It was also because Xie Jieyu had made up her mind to stay in the Immortal Phoenix Palace that Li Lan had some complaints about the stunning female Martial Demigod and had an unfavorable attitude toward her.

Ding Hao smiled slightly. He scratched Li Lan’s delicate white nose and said, “Don’t worry, I know what to do. If one day the two clans meet on the battleground, I won’t do anything stupid.”

Li Lan nodded.

But in the depths of her heart, she silently sighed.

She knew Ding Hao too well.

He would never let down anyone kind to him. He would rather suffer from injustice than let his friends and beloved ones suffer the slightest grievance. Perhaps this was the reason why she fell in love with him.

The next day, after having breakfast with their daughter, Ding Hao and Li Lan appeared on the Back Mountain of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

The Lord Edict was issued continuously. The defense installations of the Back Mountain were almost withdrawn, and the disciples guarding the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect were also removed. Ding Hao rearranged a defense formation in some important areas and then marked out the section of the road from the cliff in the Back Mountain to the mysterious cave.

As Ding Honglei had mentioned before, it was time to activate the chessboard transformation.

Many people from the Human Clan and the Demon Clan had obtained the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys. It meant that many Absolute Superiors will come here today and try to break into the immortal land through the chessboard formation. All of these people were powerful masters of one region. With the current strength of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, it was impossible to stop them. On the contrary, it would be better to open it completely to avoid conflicts.

Of course, it did not mean that no fortifies were set up on the Back Mountain of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

Early in the morning, Zhang Fan was sent to the massive floating crystal mountain in the Great Abyss. This was the place where the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect cultivated the core disciples, and it was also one of the secrets of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. It must not be known or broken into by outsiders.

Ding Hao had already set up a formation there to prevent experts from secretly observing with their Divine Senses.

In the afternoon, almost all the disciples had been evacuated, turning the villa half empty. Only Ding Hao, Li Lan, Wang Juefeng, and a few other high-level officials were still there.

Swoosh!

A stream of light flashed.

Several figures flew across the sky and landed in front of the cliff of the Great Abyss.

With the Demon Aura surging, several experts of the Demon Clan showed up.

The chief was a high-level Demon Saint Realm in white armor. He was wearing a shoulder pad with the pattern of a giant wolf swallowing. A heart-protecting mirror was attached to his chest like a blue lake. He was tall and strong. There were three or four young experts of the Demon Clan around him with extraordinary strength. Among them, the weakest was at the Martial Grand Emperor Peak.

“Is this where the door that leads to the immortal land and the chessboard formation are located? Interesting.” A slender young Half-step Demon Saint was looking around with provocative eyes. Obviously, he knew where he was.

Wang Juefeng took a step forward and said loudly, “The door is marked 300 meters below the abyss. Further down is the Drill Hall of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Don’t cross the border.”

“How can a small Swordsmanship-seeking Sect restrain us?” The young Half-step Demon Saint sneered and said, “What if I cross the border?”

Before he finished his words, Ding Hao said word by word with his eyes shining, “Those who cross the border will die.”

The young Half-step Demon Saint was about to say something, but he suddenly felt that there was undisguised viciousness and killing intent in Ding Hao’s eyes. The horrible killing aura surged towards him like a tide, pressing against his heart like a sword or a knife. He felt that he would be cut into pieces if he said one more word.

He had become a young Half-step Demon Saint before he was 500 years old, and he was also a rare genius of cultivation in the Demon Clan. Now he was even more powerful than the Black Mountain Demon Emperor. He had been speaking with his nose in the air like he did not take anything seriously at all. He acted arrogantly and ruthlessly and had never been afraid of anyone. However, at this moment, he felt a chill run down his spine, and there was an uncontrollable fear and panic that drowned him like a tide as if his soul could be triggered by those eyes.

Those who cross the border will die.

These words coming from the mouth of the human man in front of him were full of unmasked horror and awe.

How could that happen?

After a brief moment of panic, the young Half-step Demon Saint became angry and was about to retort. But at this time, the strong senior Demon Saint who had been quiet gently patted his shoulder and stopped him from speaking.

“Sect Leader Li and Lord Ding, please forgive the ignorant junior. We’re only here for the transmission formation to the immortal land. We won’t cross the border.” The burly Demon Saint cupped his hands, winked at them, and then jumped down the Great Abyss with several young experts of the Demon Clan.

Ding Hao was the Arbitrator of the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost, so it was fair to call him Lord Ding.

Ding Hao did not speak and stood still in place.

“Damn it. If it weren’t for you, we really couldn’t suppress those arrogant bastards of the Demon Clan today,” Wang Juefeng spat and said fiercely.

Li Lan also had the same feeling.

If Ding Hao hadn’t been here, the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect would have suffered a disaster today. However, the chessboard formation sending people to the immortal land was the center of the sect. If they didn’t make way for the Demon Clan, experts of the Demon Clan would only storm it, and the major forces of the Human Clan would also be disaffected. What Ding Hao did just now was already the best solution.

“Martial uncle, why were you so polite to those pathetic human vermin earlier?” The young Half-step Demon Saint unwillingly asked after arriving at the mysterious cave.

The old burly Demon Saint glared at him and said, “Even Prince Primeval didn’t defeat Ding Hao. You’d better not be so rampant. If Ding Hao had determined to kill, I only have the confidence to save my own life at most, but the four of you will all die on this cliff.”

“How is that possible?” The young Half-step Demon Saint widened his eyes in horror.

He didn’t believe his Martial Uncle’s words.

“Lack of forbearance in small matters upsets great plans. Now Ding Hao had won the support of most of the disciples and he has terrifying strength. It is too difficult for those experts below the Immortal Realm to kill him. You have been growing up smoothly and have never encountered setbacks, so you are too arrogant and can’t stand that others are stronger than you. This is not a good thing. Remember that only the person who is alive till the last second is the strongest. At least, don’t provoke Ding Hao before you entered God-level. He is too terrifying.” The elder, burly Demon Saint said word by word.

The young Half-step Demon Sage was a little dumbstruck.

He could see that his Martial Uncle was not trying to scare him. On the contrary, Martial Uncle was really afraid of the young man of the Human Clan or even revered him. How terrifying was Ding Hao that his Martial Uncle did not even dare to rise against him?

The young Half-step Demon Sage shivered.

The other three young experts of the Demon Clan around him were also a little well-behaved. They had planned to explore the Great Abyss. After all, the pure and mysterious crystal mine was too amazing. However, they had to stay in the mysterious cave obediently and did not dare to run around, for fear of irritating the God of Massacre on the ground.

“It’s time to start the chessboard formation. Have you remembered what I told you?” The burly elder Demon Saint took out a globular Sky-fleeing Stone Key and put it on a grid of the chessboard formation.

The moment the Sky-fleeing Stone Key met with the chessboard formation; the grid burst out a bright silver flame. It was like a mass of soft and crystal mercury flowing and flickering in the void.
