Chapter 809: Yesterday’s Cause and Today’s Effect

The surrounding powers, either in the shadows or in the open, all felt as frightened as the Netherworld Demon Saint.

In the heaven, with his sword pointed to the sky, Ding Hao looked down and said firmly, word by word, “I swear, if anybody dares to hurt anyone in Qing River Town today, I will kill him even if I have to chase him to the ends of the earth. If I violate this oath, I will be severely punished by lightning and thunderstorms and smashed into pieces!”

Before his voice died away, “boom!” a deafening sound came.

It sounded as if heaven was responding to Ding Hao’s oath with a series of thunderbolts. Sometimes the thunderbolts were like the whispering of a god, sometimes the singing of a saint. With an odd aura spreading out, Ding Hao’s oath was marked between heaven and the earth.

The masters around suddenly became surprised, furious, and serious.

If an expert like Ding Hao made such an oath and received the response of heaven and earth, it definitely gambled with his career in martial arts. Once the oath was made, he would never have a chance of regretting it.

This legend of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect was still so young and boasted exceptional and rare talent. High-headed and powerful as every master present was, they had to admit that Ding Hao would definitely have the possibility of becoming a supreme master in the future.

“Who dared to ignore the blood oath of a future supreme master?”

With the Devil Hall setting a precedent for them, everybody here had to consider carefully before they took action today.

In the ruined Qing River Town, countless people of the Human Clan looked up at the divine cyan figure. They felt a sense of unprecedented peace and stability in this cold and chaotic world, and death became less terrible in an instant.

There were neither cheers nor panic.

Everyone quietly stood where they were, closed their eyes, and prayed for the young man in cyan shirt in heaven.

A faint and invisible force silently was emitted from these people and converged on Ding Hao’s body.

There was an atmosphere of tragedy and solemnity between heaven and earth.

Ding Hao’s eyes, sharp and decisive, were like lightning breaking through the night. He glanced around and almost no one dared to make eye contact with him.

“Haha, little guy, you can’t even defend yourself today. What’s the use of swearing a blood oath? It’s just the weak’s determination…” A faint sound came, grimly stirring the minds of all the masters present.

Ding Hao laughed out loud and said disdainfully, “Do you dare to show up you sneaky rat?”

“Haha, don’t be scared by him. If we unite together, he can’t escape even if he has the power to split the sky and the earth. As long as we kill him, we don’t need to worry about his coming after us.” The gloomy voice said again.

What this man said was indeed reasonable. It was also what many people present were thinking.

Ding Hao quietly spread out his Divine Senses to search around.

The gloomy voice continued to incite all the masters, “Ding Hao is a ruthless man who will seek revenge for the smallest grievance. You have already provoked him today. Even if you leave now, you will be punished by him in the future. Why don’t you kill him directly before he doesn’t reach the supreme realm?”

This voice and his words were so tempting that many masters and forces were thinking about making a move.

Everyone knew the principle, but when someone pointed it out, the masters of all sides would have a lot on their minds immediately.

“Haha, what a mighty divine object the Sky-fleeing Stone Key is. It’s powerful enough to change one’s fate, and it even gives you the chance of becoming immortal. Do you really want to run away in a panic because of the threat from the younger generation? If it gets out, you will be a laughing stock in the world.”

“What’s more, if you miss this opportunity, I’m afraid that you won’t be able to see the Sky-fleeing Stone Key again in your lifetimes!”

That gloomy and unstable voice echoed in the surrounding void.

Every word, like a hammer, hit everyone’s heart, making those hesitant masters ferocious and firm again.

Ding Hao gently sent the child in his arms to Li Yiruo on the ground, gave her a reassuring smile, and then began to run the Qi in his body with all his strength.

The Rusted Sword, which had already lost its luster, buzzed and vibrated gently again.

The sharp intention of murder was resurgent.

All of a sudden, his figure blurred, and then it became clear again.

However, the Rusted Sword, which had been as crystal clear as jade, was dripping with blood along with the rust. The bright white and crystal red mixed together, showing a kind of unique and lethal beauty.

“Puff!”

A master of the Demon Clan, standing quietly in the void a kilometer away, was suddenly split into two parts with blood spurting out like a fountain. Before death, he couldn’t believe what had happened just now, and said in horror, “Even a Martial Sage expert can’t discover my skill of magically transmitting sounds. How could you find it?”

Ding Hao did not even glance at him.

Only then did some people realize that the gloomy voice was actually from the obscure seven-apertured Demon Emperor, which was interesting. His way of transmitting sound was indeed a bit extraordinary as it could deceive many Martial Sage experts. Now they wondered how Ding Hao discovered it.

But that didn’t matter anymore.

The important thing was that the Demon Emperor’s incitement worked.

The Deep Blue Soul Bird slowly approached, flapping its cloud-like wings. Hundreds of Spear-holding Guards hit their breastplates with spears, making a metallic sound that could shatter one’s soul into pieces. They were drawing near like the Death Army and the terrifying power was surging over like saltwater intrusion.

“If you hand over the Sky-fleeing Stone Key, Deep Blue Mansion won’t invade Qing River Town.”

A domineering voice rang out from the Spear-holding Guard.

Ding Hao remained calm, just opened his palm and a deep blue triangular token appeared. Without a word, he sent the token to the Deep Blue Soul Bird with a flick of his fingers.

A force like a blue sea tide bounced out and turned into a hand to hold the token.

“How come you have my Deep Blue Mansion’s Deep Blue Repayment Card?” the domineering voice asked in surprise.

“The ruins of the Sacred Hall and the Towering Buddha,” Ding Hao said word by word.

The man opposite him suddenly fell silent.

Some people also noticed that Ding Hao seemingly had something that made the Deep Blue Mansion afraid.

Moments later.

“I see. The divine light of six colors and the Heavenly Samsara Disc… You are the one who saved our young master Languang. Well, our Deep Blue Mansion is definitely not a sect that betrays traditional principles to bite the hands that feed us. We are even this time… Let’s go!”

An overbearing and determined voice called out.

The next moment, the Deep Blue Soul Bird flapped its huge wings and turned into a deep blue light, disappearing into the distant sky in an instant. The people of the Deep Blue Mansion retreated.

For a moment, the others were a little confused.

Deep Blue Mansion, one of the Human Clan’s aristocratic families, was a mysterious and powerful force with a low profile. Unexpectedly, it retreated in such a dramatic way. What on earth was the Deep Blue Repayment Token that Ding Hao handed out? Such a little token could even make the Deep Blue Mansion give up fighting for a divine object like the Sky-fleeing Stone Key?

However, the matter was not over yet.

Ding Hao took out a small black shield from his Storage Ring and slowly sent it to a strong Martial Sage master in the distance.

The Martial Sage sighed and took the small black shield. Without saying a word, he turned into a flowing light and disappeared into the distant horizon.

“What’s going on? Does Ding Hao get hold of their weakness? Or…” The Netherworld Demon Saint of the Demon God Palace was surprised and bewildered since things were bizarre.

Next, Ding Hao took out some other strange things and sent them all out.

There were at least hundreds of big or small forces and experts in the open or in the shadows surrounding Qing River Town. Ding Hao sent more than 20 objects similar to tokens in succession. After receiving those tokens, not only the Demon Clan forces but also the Human Clan experts turned around and retreated without saying a word at last.

Many experts and forces didn’t figure out what happened and were very perplexed.

Ding Hao suddenly looked up at the void in the distance and said laconically, “Do you also want to join in?”

“I didn’t expect to see you again so soon.” A figure appeared, slender and handsome with a white face. He was exactly Wen Duoqing-the genius of the Demon Clan who had obtained one of the Three Great Divine Artifacts in the Towering Buddha Pagoda.

“The border of Divine Central Continent and Southern Wilderness was so far away from Snow Province. Surprisingly, your highness Duoqing is here today,” Ding Hao said, slightly surprised.

Wen Duoqing could not arrive here just after him unless he did not return to the Southern Wilderness nor do anything else but immediately set off for the Northern Region after leaving the Towering Buddha Pagoda.

Why was he so anxious to come to the Northern Region?

Wen Duoqing laughed and said, “I think Brother Ding has gone to the Southern Wilderness. However, I don’t expect that you have returned to the Northern Region and I would meet Brother Ding again on such an occasion.”

Ding Hao cut to the chase and said, “So, Your Highness is going to fight against me today?”

Wen Duoqing smiled and said, “If it were anyone else, they have no way to live even if they had extraordinary capabilities today. However, Brother Ding, you have saved my life in the Towering Buddha Pagoda, therefore, the Demon Clan of the Southern Wilderness is willing to retreat this time. I will never rob the Sky-fleeing Stone Key when it is in your hands. However, if it falls into the hands of others, the Demon Clan of the Southern Wilderness will take action and it has nothing to do with you.”

Ding Hao nodded, “Okay.”

Wen Duoqing gently waved his folding fan, suddenly shut it, and said, “All the Demon Clan in the Southern Wilderness retreat out of the radius of 300 miles of Qing River Town.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished on the spot.

There was a commotion among the surrounding forces. In the end, dozens of forces and experts from the Demon Clan of Southern Wilderness bitterly retreated. Some forces were unwilling to retreat, but obviously, they were extremely afraid of Wen Duoqing and dared not go against his will. In the end, they left.
