Chapter 476 Meeting Again
After hearing those stories that he had never heard before, Ding Hao sighed after feeling surprised.
The Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect had become the first sect in Snow Province, but in the entire Northern Region, it was like a grain of sand in the vast desert, almost negligible. The real situation and secrets in the Northern Region were not known by the sects in Snow Province at all.
When Ding Hao was in Snow Province, he thought that the nine sects were the highest peak of the Human Clan’s power. Just the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect had been protecting millions of people within thousands of miles. But now, although it seemed that the words were not very pleasant, what Ning Huxiao and the Three Emperors of Ning Province had said before was right that he and his friends were really just villagers and had never experienced much of life.
For the real Martial Arts circle of the Human Clan in the Northern Region, no sects in Snow Province were qualified to enter.
It was no wonder that there was a genius from the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect that chose to join another sect after coming out of the Sage Battlefield alive.
Maybe she had also experienced some things, learned more, and seen more.
However, although Ding Hao was filled with emotion, he did not change his sense of the Sect.
No matter what happened, he would always be a person of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect.
After working out some ideas, Ding Hao could be sure that what the Three Emperors of Ning Province had said was true.
But Ding Hao didn’t declare his position right away.
He was wondering if the deal was necessary or not.
Ding Hao had a piece of the map, and that was his biggest advantage.
And the Three Emperors of Ning Province knew a lot of information that he didn’t know, such as the specific location of Highest Heaven and other sects and forces that appeared there. They also understood the rules of the city. The Tianning Dynasty might have its own foothold in the city, and had a certain advantage in human relations.
If these two advantages were combined, it could have a certain say in Highest Heaven.
But the question was what the Three Emperors of Ning Province also said just now. In the Highest Heaven, the strong were respected. The super-geniuses of the Human and the Demon clans were all gathered there, fighting openly and secretly. The situation was treacherous. It was just a step-by-step crisis, a step-by-step panic. He and his friends were limited in strength. If they entered the Highest Heaven, would they be coveted by people to be killed?
If they went there, they would have to face danger.
Now was it worth the risk?
Ding Hao pondered over it. After 15 minutes, he finally raised his head abruptly. His eyes were firm and he nodded. “Ok, I agree to this deal, but I need to sign a Mysterious Frost Contract with you.”
The Mysterious Frost Contract was an inscription contract issued by the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost. With an oath based on the glory and reputation of the G.o.d of War of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region, it had the holy effect of law. It was an ancient inheritance from generation to generation. Both signing sides recognized the sacredness of the contract. If one of them regretted it and committed a breach of contract, they would immediately fall into disrepute. Everyone in the field of Martial Arts in the Northern Region would condemn them.
Of course, the most important and effective point was that if one held the Mysterious Frost Contract, he could ask the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost to send the Mysterious Frost Holy Guard to punish the side who had broken the contract.
Backed and guaranteed by the power of the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost, there had been few breaches of contract for tens of thousands of years.
However, a few contracts had failed, and the breaching party was directly wiped out from the Northern Region by the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost.
Ding Hao required them to sign a Mysterious Frost Contract, because the deal was too important. Even though the Three Emperors of Ning Province seemed to cooperate with him sincerely, he had to guard against it.
Knowing that Ding Hao agreed to work with them, the Three Emperors of Ning Province breathed a sigh of relief.
The oldest of the Three Emperors of Ning Province hurriedly said, “No problem. Just specify some details, and we can sign the Mysterious Frost Contract immediately. Ding Hao, to be honest, we brothers have recognized your strength and potential. It can be predicted that after some time, you will be one of those people standing at the peak of Martial Arts in the Northern Region. Even though the Tianning Dynasty with its long heritage is many times more powerful than your sect, it doesn’t want to provoke such an evil star as you. So cooperation is the best choice. We are also sincere. We hope to take this opportunity to turn fighting into peace. Before signing the contract, I apologize to you for the rude behavior of my third brother.”
Ding Hao sneered, “Now bow? You should apologize to those martial artists in Snow Province who had been insulted by you.”
The oldest proudly raised his head and said, “We only admire the strong. Among the martial artists in Snow Province, we only fear you. Others… hehe… When they show their strength and achievements like yours, they will win our apology. In the Northern Region, the respect of martial artists is not cheap.”
Ding Hao was slightly shocked. Unexpectedly, on that topic, the Three Emperors of Ning Province became very tough.
Ding Hao didn’t continue the topic.
“Ning Huxiao is dead, and we have killed most of the people in the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmans.h.i.+p Sect. It’s estimated that only a few people scattered in other places are still alive. They don’t know what happened here, so my first requirement is to take care of your own mouth. I don’t want things between me and the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmans.h.i.+p Sect to be spread by your mouth.”
Ding Hao made a request.
“No problem. We don’t care about the dead. Besides, the friends.h.i.+p between us three brothers and Ning Huxiao is a nodding acquaintance with each other. The Tianning Dynasty and the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmans.h.i.+p Sect are not allies,” the oldest of the Three Emperors of Ning Province said.
Then the two sides talked about something in detail.
Since they were making use of each other, Ding Hao put forward the conditions bluntly.
And the Three Emperors of Ning Province were probably really scared by Ding Hao. Besides, the importance of the map was beyond doubt and irreplaceable, so they agreed to almost all the requirements made by Ding Hao.
The process took about half a day.
In the end, Ding Hao signed a Mysterious Frost Contract with the Three Emperors of Ning Province in his own name. Ding Hao himself was an inscriptionist with great attainments, so he didn’t worry about being cheated in that respect. The whole process was very smooth.
After that, Ding Hao released the bans of inscription on the three people.
It was sunset.
In the distance, the setting sun was like blood. The wind blew on the large lake with the surging reeds and thousands of miles of blue waves. It was spectacular.
Walking out of the cabin, Ding Hao looked at the lake from a distance with emotion.
He knew in his heart that at that time, he would be on the struggling road of Martial Arts in the Northern Region.
In the Highest Heaven, the most amazing talents of the Human Clan and Demon Clan in the Northern Region gathered and they were dragons and outstanding people of human beings. At that time, they were so bright that they covered up the brilliance of other young martial artists in the whole era. Ding Hao would compete with those people. On the way to the peak of Martial Arts, he would fight with them.
Those people’s fortune and strength were not inferior to that of Mu Tianyang.
Compared with such an event, the appointment on the Frozen Peak after one year seemed to be quite inferior!
Striving to win on the holy road!
It would be a legendary road paved with blood and bones.
Ding Hao’s sense of battle rose abruptly.
That was the life he wanted.
Ding Hao was burning with blood in his body. He couldn’t help howling. The howling sound was like a dragon chanting. It was surging out from afar, making the clouds steam in all directions. All the giant beasts in the lake were lurking in awe. They were frightened by the momentum that shocked the world and didn’t dare to show up.
The Three Emperors of Ning Province stood on the deck not far away with complicated expressions.
Whether they wanted to or not, they had to admit that the young man before them was rising like a comet, and he had the faint spirit of a king, and they had become stepping stones for him. On the holy road in the future, countless geniuses would be defeated and they had been in a disadvantageous position. In that world, in the end, there were more talented people than them!
“Sail, southeast, full speed!”
Ding Hao laughed.
That was in the direction of the Highest Heaven.
Shenzhou-1, just like a streamer, rose to the sky, heading southeast at full speed.
Ding Hao intended to turn around to close the cabin and comprehend what he had gained in the previous battle. However, at that time, he felt a slight warmth in his fingers. When he looked down, he noticed that the silver ring was s.h.i.+ning with a silver light.
“Some disciples of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect are nearby!”
Ding Hao was ecstatic.
“Excellent!
“Who is it?
“I must find him.”
“Slow down, search within a hundred miles…” Ding Hao was always calm. At that moment, he could not help praying secretly in his heart: “Don’t come upon a corpse. I hope it’s a living man.”
“Mengmeng, move forward!”
Li Yiruo was standing on her pet’s back, cheering pleasantly.
She also discovered that her ring was unusual.
That silver enchanting light excited the beautiful girl’s heart. She seemed to be a person who had traveled in the dark and finally saw a light. “Who is the person nearby? Cousin Canyang? Or elder brother Fang Tianyi? Or… If only it was Brother Hao, how nice that would be!”
The girl was dreaming sweetly in her heart.
“Hey ga-ga…” The dolphin-like blue cute pet responded.
It was moving fast in the water, like an arrow that was shot out, leaving a long white trace on the water.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a fierce beast like a mountain that had been lurking for a long time sprang out under the water and set off a wave like a tsunami. The huge body, with a shadow, pounced on Li Yiruo and Mengmeng. With a huge mouth like a black hole, it would swallow both of them.
But—
“Hey ga-ga!”
A small bubble came out of Mengmeng’s mouth as it made a soft voice.
The small bubble reflected the last color of the sunlight, as if it would break up when touched. But it imprisoned the huge fierce beast the moment it had encountered it. A mysterious power reduced the huge body of the fierce beast like a mountain to the size of only one meter. It could be seen that the fierce beast was frantically struggling and panicking, and then the bubbles wrapped around the fierce beast and it ran to the depths of the water…
Li Yiruo was not surprised by this. She didn’t even change her expression.
“Little girl, it seems you have a good helper!”
Suddenly, a voice came softly.
In a daze, Li Yiruo seemed to be struck by lightning and stood still behind Mengmeng.
Looking back, she could not control herself so that tears burst out of her beautiful eyes, leaving two painful traces on her white, jade-like, clean, and flawless face. All the beautiful scenery between the heaven and the earth seemed to lose color in a moment. Li Yiruo let out a voice almost like a dreamer. “Brother Hao, is it really you?”
Face to face.
The face that haunted her, with a sunny smile, appeared quietly not far away.
