Chapter 149: Going North! Demon Woman!Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

On the next day, Mu Lianyi had woken up.

Yang Dingtian officially bade farewell to the Mu Clan’s father and daughter. He was preparing to set forth for the northwest continent’s Fire Cloud Devil Cave and start the most important process of forging his soul sword.

The current Mu Lianyi looked like a completely different person. Her natural and wild nature had this rare gentle look on her face, as she was the only one who sent Yang Dingtian out of Mu Clan Docks.

Mu Liancheng originally wanted to go up north together and look for Ximen Lie, but Yang Dingtian stopped him.

Yang Dingtian didn’t want to disrupt their peaceful life, and if they were to follow Yang Dingtian’s Black Blood Cavalry, they would be living a life without a fixed residence as they had to be always on the move.

Of course, this reason wasn’t enough to convince Mu Liancheng. Yang Dingtian told Mu Liancheng that the Mu Clan Docks had much more to contribute to the Cloud Heaven City, as this was a strategic point for information, and it was also their final place to retreat to.

Finally, Mu Liancheng was convinced.

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

“Young Lord, I want to go north with you.” Mu Lianyi suddenly said, “I have many uses and can do anything.”

Yang Dingtian shook his head and said, “A male and female have their differences. It isn’t convenient.”

Mu Lianyi clenched her teeth and spoke in a soft voice, “I am willing to be a servant to Young Lord.”

Yang Dingtian was quite surprised. Just two days ago, Mu Lianyi repeatedly said that she wanted to be a person with freedom and wanted to sever all ties with the Cloud Heaven City. But now, she actually proposed herself to be a servant?

“You are such a captivating person, and you have your own thoughts. Becoming a servant is such a waste of talent,” Yang Dingtian smiled and replied.

Mu Lianyi fell in silence and spoke in a soft voice after a short moment, “The freedom that I mentioned included the freedom of wanting to serve Young Lord.”

“Why is that so? Is it to repay your gratitude?” Yang Dingtian asked.

Mu Lianyi shook her head and said, “I already mentioned this before. Gratitude and feelings are just one-sided. The reason I’m acting like this is that my heart had completely died yesterday, but you managed to bring it back to life.”

Yang Dingtian kept silent and said, “I mentioned this as well. You are a beautiful girl with sex appeal enough to captivate any man in the world. But I already have a wife, and I owe her too much. I cannot disappoint her.”

Mu Lianyi’s face dimmed as she raised her head and spoke in a gentle voice, “I understand.”

“Wu Xingwen. How are you going to settle him?” Yang Dingtian still asked the question about Wu Xingwen, who had turned into a zombie. He was now being locked up in the Mu Clan Docks firewood room, and Yang Dingtian had given Mu Lianyi the authority to handle Wu Xingwen since he was once her lover.

“I will disfigure his face so that no one can recognize him and feed him at home like feeding a retarded person.” Mu Lianyi replied and immediately smiled. “Actually, my feelings towards him are very strange, and we were just different when we were young. I actually know very little about him, and it is just my own wishful thinking, as though I was trying to find a person to entrust my feelings to.”

Yang Dingtian smiled and indicated that he understood. He then said, “Once I leave, you and Uncle Mu should go to Wooden Sword Castle. Even though Wu Xingwen is just a sword slave who would probably be disregarded by the Northwest Qin Clan, it is still better to be cautious.”

“Eh, I understand,” Mu Lianyi replied.

“You don’t have to send me any more. You should go back. I will be on my way now,” Yang Dingtian stated and was about to mount the horse.

“Hold on, Big Brother Yan,” Mu Lianyi suddenly shouted.

Subsequently, she dove into Yang Dingtian’s embrace and hugged his waist tightly for a moment before releasing him.

“Farewell, Young Lord.”

“Farewell.”

Yang Dingtian mounted the horse and galloped to the north.

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

As Yang Dingtian traveled through day and night, he spent five days and nights to travel 4,000+ miles. He traveled from the southernmost part to the northernmost part of the southwest continent.

The Fire Cloud Devil Cave was situated in the southeast of the northwest continent, to reach that place, they would have to travel thousands of miles in the vast sea.

On the docks by the sea, there were plenty of ships docked there. It was needless to say that all these ships were heading to the northwest continent, and basically, any ship could get you there.

Yang Dingtian picked the largest ship among the fleet.

The crossing of the sea would require around three days, and by the time Yang Dingtian arrive at the northwest continent, it should be the 19th of the First Month, which meant that it would be seven days left before the bursting of the coal-seam fire in the Fire Cloud Devil Cave. Amid the journey, he still had to borrow the Mystic Fire Devil Hammer from the Divine Weapons Manor. Time might be pressing, but he should still be able to make it.

After boarding the ship, Yang Dingtian spent a bit more money to find the right spot to settle down.

Right now, he had ordinary looks and presented himself to be reclusive and reticent, as he wouldn’t converse with anyone.

This ship was boarded by a few hundred individuals, with a mix of men and women. Aside from the wandering martial artists, there were quite a few wealthy figures who brought along their families, and there were even children. In short, this ship had comparatively more average people.

This was also the reason why Yang Dingtian picked this ship. Lesser martial artists would mean lesser trouble.

The ship was quickly filled up, and with a shout from the boatswain, the ship was preparing to depart.

“Wait up.” Suddenly there was a clear and pleasant voice that came from the shore.

Yang Dingtian’s heart nearly jumped out, as this voice was very familiar. Even if Yang Dingtian only had heard this voice once, he would never be able to forget it. Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ NovᴇlFɪre .ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

As this voice was just too unique, which sounded prideful but didn’t lack any grace, it was cold yet didn’t lack any tenderness from a woman.

Yang Dingtian had heard this voice during the wedding in darkness. This voice was the voice of the princess from the Temple of Blood. The number one beauty of the Evil Dao, and the number one prodigy of the Evil Dao, Dugu Fengwu.

It couldn’t be her, right? It mustn’t be her!

Because of Dugu Xiao, Dugu Fengwu assumed that Yang Dingtian took her chastity, hence she was in pursuit of finding Yang Dingtian. If she knew that Yang Dingtian was on this ship, he wouldn’t be able to keep his life.

Immediately after, a figure flew towards the ship rapidly.

It wasn’t Dugu Fengwu’s face as it was a man and a rather handsome man. But when compared to Dugu Fengwu, it was drastically inferior. Yang Dingtian instantly let out a breath of relief.

When the handsome youth boarded the ship, he frowned slightly as though he wasn’t satisfied with the people on the ship. But he didn’t hurry on making way to his cabin and scanned every face closely instead. As though she was trying to find someone.

Soon enough, the handsome youth walked past Yang Dingtian.

In an instant, Yang Dingtian’s heart raced!

It couldn’t be wrong. It was her. It was Dugu Fengwu. She was dressed up like a man and had concealed her absolutely beautiful face. But her unique fragrance didn’t change, and after taking a closer look at how she walked, which was confident and graceful, it was indeed Dugu Fengwu.

Her eyes flashed like lightning as she looked closely at everyone’s face, especially their eyes. Everyone that she looked at couldn’t help but squirm as her eyes truly had a sting.

She must really be looking for Yang Dingtian; she had really begun her endless pursuit.

Right now, the ship had departed and was traveling towards the north. Right now, it was too late for Yang Dingtian to jump off the ship and was destined to dangerously stay on the same ship with Dugu Fengwu.

Right at this moment, Dugu Fengwu’s eyes landed on Yang Dingtian like a lightning bolt.

Yang Dingtian’s heart jumped for a moment and nearly couldn’t breathe anymore. Fortunately, he was wearing his mask, while his eyes were fatigued and indifferent, making it difficult to spot any flaws.

Dugu Fengwu’s eyes were still on Yang Dingtian’s face, and he wondered if she recognized any familiar presence.

Yang Dingtian felt that it was getting dangerous and no longer lowered his head to avoid her eyes; otherwise, she would truly be suspicious. Yang Dingtian took a risk and raised his head, glaring back at Dugu Fengwu and spoke in a dissatisfied tone, “What are you looking at?”

It was a special accent that was common in the southwest continent.

After Dugu Fengwu stared for a moment, she finally shifted her eyes away. Yang Dingtian didn’t dare to let out a relieved sigh and continued to glare at her, because this was the logical reaction.

Finally, Dugu Fengwu finished examining everyone. Yang Dingtian let out a breath of relief his heart. He knew that an absolute beauty like her, who was like a fairy, wouldn’t be patient enough to stay with all the people here. She was definitely going to have a single cabin for herself.

But soon enough, Yang Dingtian was disappointed, as Dugu Fengwu was staying in the main cabin. Furthermore, she located a higher position and sat down, far from everyone else, while her eyes continued to scan everyone.

Yang Dingtian’s heart went cold, as this was a nerve-wracking situation.

They were going to travel for three days and nights over the sea, and Yang Dingtian had to be in the constant company of Dugu Fengwu, who would only be pleased after killing himself. This was truly a nerve-wracking situation.

Through Wu Xingwen, Yang Dingtian knew that Dugu Fengwu was going to forge her soul sword and had announced to the world that she would use the Evil Soul Art to exchange for the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl.

Would it be possible that Dugu Fengwu’s current destination was also the Fire Cloud Devil Cave, which would blossom with the peak-grade coal-seam fire? If that was the case, then it was going to be troublesome.

At this moment, Yang Dingtian was at wit’s end as he had no choice but to be wary at all time, yet not reveal any flaw.

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

The first day of sailing was peaceful. Dugu Fengwu didn’t do anything special and merely drank the water that she brought along herself, she wouldn’t even eat anything from the ship.

The second day was similarly peaceful, and her eyes didn’t lock onto anyone anymore. It seemed like she had determined that Yang Dingtian was no longer on the ship.

Yang Dingtian had slightly relaxed and started to listen to the conversations of the people beside him.

“Do you know? Ximen Ju from the Cloud Heaven City is about to have a union by marriage with the Northwest Qin Clan. He is going to marry the Northwest Qin Clan’s Second Young Lady,” One of the martial artists spoke in a soft voice.

Yang Dingtian paused for a moment. They were really colluding with each other. He was furious but didn’t appear to be surprised by it.

“Scoff, this thing isn’t any secret anymore. Everyone knows about it.” Another man spoke, “Do you know that what is the Black Blood Cavalry doing after they left the Cloud Heaven City?”

“Didn’t they ally themselves with the Black Vanguard Valley?” The other martial artist questioned.

“That was outdated information. They had already been chased out. The Owner of the Black Vanguard Valley saw how beautiful Madam Ximen was and proposed something improper, causing the two sides to conflict. They even fought for quite some time.” The other man said, “The Black Blood Cavalry are reduced to nothing now. They are scattered across the entire southwest and southeast sea region being pirates.”

“That is not possible, right?” The other martial artist said, “The great Black Blood Cavalry of the Cloud Heaven City went to become pirates?”

Yang Dingtian felt disdain in his heart as he knew that the Black Blood Cavalry would never be reduced to being pirates no matter how bad the situation was.

But it was certain that they weren’t having a good time. Yang Dingtian instantly felt his heart being wrung and was furious.

“Ximen Ju! The day would come where I would chop you up into pieces.”

“Big Brother Ximen Lie, brothers from the Black Blood Cavalry, hold on for me. I will definitely bring all of you back to Cloud Heaven City in an upright and impressive manner.

In this instant, Yang Dingtian’s blood was boiling, and he couldn’t help but leak out his emotional feelings.

Right at this moment, a pair of eyes locked onto Yang Dingtian.

“This isn’t good...” Yang Dingtian’s heart got a shock.

As expected, Dugu Fengwu was staring closely at Yang Dingtian. She then stood up and gently leaped and landed in front of Yang Dingtian. She pointed at Yang Dingtian’s face and spoke in a cold voice, “You, follow me!”

All the hair on Yang Dingtian’s body was standing on its end, while his mind flashed with numerous thoughts.

Using the fastest speed to escape, using the fastest speed to counterattack, splashing out all his toxins and poisons, so on and so forth!

But Yang Dingtian ultimately didn’t do any of those things. He thought perhaps Dugu Fengwu had something to ask him about and had yet to recognize Yang Dingtian. In fact, apart from encountering Dugu Fengwu at the Blood Pool, she had never seen Yang Dingtian another time.

The current Yang Dingtian was also wearing a mask, and if she were able to recognize him, it would truly be unexpected.

When walking behind Dugu Fengwu, even though they were squeezing through the crowd, Yang Dingtian could still smell the unique and charming fragrance that she gave off.

Yang Dingtian arrived at a single cabin, which was the most expensive room on the ship. There was a comfortable bed in it and exquisite furniture, even the toilet looking presentable.

“What do you need from me?” Yang Dingtian might be concerned, but he still appeared dissatisfied as he spoke.
