Chapter 868 - Trembling in Fear

Legend had it that even a stupid pig would have the power of an immortal as long as it was sent to the immortal land.

The fact that tens of thousands of disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect went to the immortal land meant that tens of thousands of people would become immortals…

This was dreadful.

Once these immortals came back from the immortal land, no one could imagine how powerful they were and who could resist them. Even the five great forces in the Land of Infinity together were no match for these 10,000 immortals, needless to say the top ten sects in the Northern Region.

Even if the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect boasted of one immortal, it would be enough to crush all the sects.

People trembled with fear at the thought of this outcome.

At that time, it would undoubtedly be a huge disaster for those sects whose names were called.

“Humph, it is just scaremongering. Do you think the immortal land is the backyard of your house where you could go to with ten thousand people as you want? This deceitful trick is too stupid. ” Wang Xiaowang sneered loudly, trying to drive away the uneasiness in his heart.

However, Ding Hao ignored him.

“Huh huh huh, today is just the beginning. Wait and tremble with fear. When my Swordsmanship-seeking Sect returns, it will be the beginning of our revenge!”

Ding Hao’s phantom disappeared as soon as he finished his words.

The flames of the formation at the Square of Military Affairs completely disappeared. The bluestone floor cracked, and the black inscription on it was all destroyed and vanished.

The sun in the sky was shining brightly.

But everyone felt a chill.

No one had expected that the River Palace’s campaign against the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect would end like this.

Many people seemed to be lost in thought.

Did the Saber and Sword Addict just try to scare people with his last words?

Wang Xiaowang also felt an uncontrollable chill in his heart, but he suppressed it. After thinking for a while, he said loudly, “The people of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect must be hiding somewhere on the mainland to escape punishment. There are tens of thousands of people, so they would expose themselves sooner or later. I will find out where they are one day. At that time… humph!”

No one spoke.

Some timid people had already left quietly.

Some people in the crowd finally looked relaxed. They gathered here not because they coveted the treasures of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, but because they wanted to help the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect at the critical moment. Most of them had once received Ding Hao’s help and some of them were Ding Hao’s admirers. They had thought that there would be at least a fight, but now they were relieved when seeing all the disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect disappear.

The mountain gate of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect was searched from end to end.

The legendary Holy Spring Well and the Divine Herb Garden were empty. However, the purple mysterious crystal vein in the Great Abyss at the Back Mountain was still there. It was a treasure which could drive people crazy and was enough to make the whole Northern Region jealous.

Now the people of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect had left, this mysterious crystal vein became unclaimed.

Since it was an unclaimed item, everyone should have a share.

Even though the River Palace had a profound foundation and strong influence, it was impossible for it to digest such a big cake alone. Therefore, the other nine major sects in the Northern Region participated in it, and some of the lower-level sects also got some shares. The major forces formed alliances to jointly develop the crystal resources here.

With this large batch of mysterious crystals, the strength of the Human Clan in the Northern Region began to grow rapidly.

Surprisingly, in the whole process, the Demon Clan did not contest for the crystals. Although the mysterious crystals were of little usage to the Demon Clan, they were always happy to do anything that could cause trouble for the Human Clan.

This time, the silence of the Demon Clan was a little odd.

At the same time, most parts of the mountain gate of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect were vacant.

In the past, many people speculated that this blessed place with abundant Spiritual Qi would be occupied by some big sect, but after the incident at the Square of Military Affairs, no one dared to occupy this place. After all, if what Ding Hao said was true, no matter who occupied this place, they would face terrible revenge in the future.

Only a few masters of the major sects stayed here in the hope of breaking through their cultivation bottleneck with the help of the Spiritual Qi between the Heaven and Earth here. They did not dare to occupy the houses of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. They just lived in the square and did not dare to destroy any grass or trees here.

Time passed quickly.

Different kinds of legends about the whereabouts of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect started circulating in the Northern Region.

Some people were firmly convinced that Ding Hao was not lying. Maybe the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect had really ascended to immortal land, and some people didn’t think so. They held the view that Ding Hao definitely used teleportation to escape to a mysterious place outside the Northern Region and hide there. After all, Ding Hao was also a professional inscriptionist.

The Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, hiding in the darkness, licked its claws like a beast. When it was strong enough, it would launch a counterattack.

There were occasional rumors of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect disciples on the mainland, but in the end, they were proved to be false.

Some super sects like the River Palace and the Hidden Fragrance Peak had been searching everywhere for the whereabouts of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Unfortunately, they didn’t find any clues after searching the entire Northern Region. Tens of thousands of people seemed to have disappeared into thin air…

As time went by, there were fewer and fewer messages about Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

Such a situation made more and more people believe that maybe the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect had really ascended to the immortal land.

Those who had secretly caused trouble for the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect began to feel more and more uneasy.

Just like what Ding Hao’s phantom said before he disappeared, they were waiting and trembling with fear. When they closed their eyes, they would have a terrible nightmare where the teal-robed figure with a saber in his left hand and a sword in his right hand vaguely appeared in blood and fire, bringing endless slaughter and disaster.

Tremble!

The soul of those people with evil intentions trembled.

Land of Divine Grace.

Ocean Forest.

The Mountain Gate of Fortune.

The mountain gate that had been empty for thousands of years finally had its owner.

Tens of thousands of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect disciples were assigned to different areas. The relocation was a very tedious job, but fortunately, the Mountain Gate of the Fortune had prepared everything for the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. The arrival of more than ten thousand disciples did not make the Fortune Mountain Sect look crowded as the majestic mountain gate could even accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.

Many disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect clearly remembered how they felt at the moment when the Sect Leader announced that they would leave.

They had expected that they had no choice but to leave their hometown and that they would lead a vagrant life after abandoning the mountain gate. Unexpectedly, they had come to a place that was countless times more magnificent and spectacular than the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

They were not informed that this place was the legendary immortal land.

What Li Lan told the disciples was that the sect would move to a mysterious place that was isolated from the world to hide and cultivate there. She hoped that every disciple of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect would be able to remember the shame of leaving the sect and turn it into the motivation for cultivation. She hoped one day they would return to the Land of Infinity and wash away that shame.

Everyone felt the oddity of this world.

Ordinary people might not have noticed it clearly, but martial artists felt that the power in their bodies was suppressed by some mysterious force, and their realm dropped so rapidly that it was as if they were seriously ill. However, they were not panic because Ding Hao had said before that there was a suppressive force in this world. As long as they adapted to it, their strength would be improved by leaps and bounds.

After briefly relocating the disciples, Ding Hao immediately asked the Sky-fleeing Stone Key to take him to the ancient sect ruins.

Lei Tingchan, Chu and her brother were still trapped inside.

The other trivial matters of the Sect were left to Li Lan, Wang Juefeng, Li Yiruo, and others to deal with.

In the dark Ghost City, Chu, her brother and Lei Tingchan had been trapped here for six days. Lei Tingchang was strong enough to survive without food and water for even a month. However, things were different for Chu and her brother. Fortunately, Lei Tingchan brought some simple food into her storage space.

Lei Tingchan nad once tried to go back the way she came.

But she found that the way she came had long disappeared, and she was surrounded by darkness. It seemed that she was in a mysterious and powerful formation and could get out of it.

Right when Lei Tingchan didn’t have a clue.

Whoosh!

The sound of water ripples suddenly came from the nearby silver altar. Then a light flashed, and the sky was full of faint blue light like stars shining. Then Ding Hao appeared on the altar.

“Brother Ding…” Chu ran over in surprise. “Are you back?”

“Oh, good man, you’re back. Good man, please give me the meat. I’m hungry.” Nalan Youxia was also ecstatic to see Ding Hao. The vegetarian food given by Lei Tingchan these days almost made him sick.

Ding Hao smiled, touching Nalan Chu’s forehead. Then, he took out the food from his Storage Ring and handed it to Chu and her brother. He said to Lei Tingchan, “There was an accident. I’m sorry to make you worry.”

Lei Tingchan nodded and did not ask any more questions.

However, Ding Hao roughly told her what had happened to him.

Hearing that Ding Hao had returned to the Land of Infinity and moved the whole Swordsmanship-seeking Sect back, Lei Tingchan was extremely shocked. Then she said excitedly, “So, you… can return to the Land of Infinity at any time?”

Ding Hao nodded and said, “That’s true. However, there were rules for the Sky-fleeing Stone Key to travel through time and space. Thanks to the altar of the Mountain Gate of Fortune, he could move to the whole Swordsmanship-seeking Sect to the Land of Divine Grace this time. It will take a year to return to the Land of Infinity again.”

Lei Tingchan’s dimmed eyes quickly lit up.

A year passed by very quickly.

What’s more, since she already had a way back, there was no need to hurry. Land of Divine Grace was indeed a perfect place for cultivation and she could cultivate here without worries.

“When I went back this time, I told Zero Thought Sect about you, and Immortal Nun was finally relieved.” Ding Hao had indeed been to Zero Thought Sect. The news that Sweet Sound had become the Lord Buddha of Great Leiyin Monastery had also reached Snow Province in the Northern Region. No one in Zero Thought Sect understood the reason but they were extremely excited.
