Chapter 770 I’ll Go Back to the Northern Region
Ding Hao looked blank. After thinking for a while, he gradually grew sober-minded and said, “I’m not going to the Southern Wilderness.”
“Why not?” Uncle Tianshu was surprised.
“Well, the Holy War has begun and the world is in chaos. The Northern Region is near the Central Region. I’m afraid that it has already been affected. I’m going back to the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect…” Speaking of this, Ding Hao took out a small red cotton jacket from his Storage Ring and handed it to Tianshu.
“This jacket was my sister’s favorite when she was a child. It was also the last thing she left before she was taken away. If she sees this red jacket, she may remember what happened when she was a child. Old man, I will give it to you now. If you can find a girl named Ding Ke’er in the Southern Wilderness, help me take care of her!”
“You’re such a troublemaker. If you don’t tell me what she looks like, how can I find her?” Uncle Tianshu muttered, but he still took the red cotton jacket and carefully put it away.
“She was only three or four years old when she disappeared. I don’t know what she looks like now, but she must be charming.” When Ding Hao said this, he couldn’t help but smile. Then he stared at Tianshu and said word by word, “The person who took her away is called Muhuang Tianji. Your name is Muhuang Tianshu. Maybe you know him?”
Uncle Tianshu said calmly, “How is that possible? There are so many people with the same surname Muhuang in the entire Southern Wilderness. How can I know them all?”
Ding Hao didn’t see anything unusual on the old guy’s face. He tentatively said, “There are a lot of people surnamed Muhuang, but I guess there must be few such masters who went to the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect in Snow Province in the Northern Region. By the way, there’s only one word that’s different in your names. Could this Muhuang Tianji be one of your incarnations?”
“Absolutely not. I guarantee it with my personality,” Uncle Tianshu said seriously.
Ding Hao snorted and said, “You are so cunning. Do you have the so-called personality?”
Tianshu was speechless.
“Alright, I’ll trust you this time.” Ding Hao stopped teasing him and added seriously, “Anyway, please take care of this matter. If you can find Ke’er in the future, I will definitely thank you.”
“Okay.” Uncle Tianshu nodded and immediately understood something. He said angrily, “D*mn it, it was you who asked me to do you a favor. Why does it feel like you’re pitying me?”
Ding Hao laughed.
The gloom and killing intent in his heart finally dissipated a little.
In fact, he wanted to go to the Southern Wilderness to look for his sister, but he also cared about his friends and relatives in the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect. Once the Northern Region was in chaos and the Holy War began, although the strength of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect was not that bad, it hadn’t grown much in such a short time. After all, it was a small sect. If there was no master to protect it, it would have difficulty in surviving.
Ding Hao could only temporarily give up the idea of going to the Southern Wilderness.
Muhuang Tianji, who had taken Ding Ke’er away back then, only left a few words, but he had already shown his incomparably powerful strength. After Ding Hao’s strength had reached a certain level, he still felt that these words were unfathomable. It could be seen that the strength of that person should be at the Saint level.
With such a master, Ding Ke’er should not be in any danger.
Although Uncle Tianshu didn’t want to say it, there should be some relations.h.i.+p between him and Muhuang Tianji. Ding Hao couldn’t force him to say it, so he just asked him to take care of Ke’er. If Tianshu had some clues, with his strength in the Martial Sage Realm, he might be able to protect Ke’er secretly.
For some reason, Ding Hao trusted Tianshu a lot.
Ding Hao stood high and looked into the distance.
Huining City had been completely turned into ruins. This city, which had once raised millions of people of the Human Clan, was no longer lively. Countless corpses were piled up like sacks. Most of them were the bodies of demons. The blood flowed like a river, and the bodies of humans had been eaten by the demons long ago…
The whole city was like a horrible battlefield.
The gray fog shrouded the city, as if it was the resentment of the dead.
There was no need for this place to exist!
With that thought in mind, Ding Hao raised his hand and a burst of Bi Fang’s Fire rose into the sky. It burst open in the sky and turned into countless sparks, falling toward the ruins of the ancient city.
These sparks ignited the entire ancient city.
The sea of fire spread and covered all the blood, bones, and corpses, cleaning the land that had just gone through the carnage.
A trace of enlightenment flashed through Ding Hao’s mind, and he activated the Heavenly Samsara Disc in his sea of consciousness.
The dreamy, six-colored flames flashed above his head.
The gray flame that represented the h.e.l.l Path was the brightest. This time, it did not separate from the other five parts and form a huge light gate when it faced the ghoul army, but it could be seen clearly with the naked eye that wisps of gray fog between heaven and earth were gradually gathering toward the small gray gate!
Vaguely, there seemed to be a burst of crying and various whispering between heaven and earth, as if people were speaking, cheering, and expressing their grat.i.tude.
The process lasted for about 30 minutes.
In the end, all the gray fog that had permeated between heaven and earth was absorbed into the Heavenly Samsara Disc. The corresponding change was that the dark clouds in the sky seemed to have faded a little, the air became bright and fresh, and new vitality was vaguely spreading in the void…
The strange whispers also disappeared.
Huining Ancient City in the sea of fire became bright too.
“Qian City, the capital of Qian Province, is 8,000 km away from here. If that place doesn’t fall, we can use the s.p.a.ce gate of Qian City to leave the Divine Central Continent.”
Tianshu suggested.
“Let’s set off immediately.”
Ding Hao did not want to waste any more time.
Just now, he vaguely felt that there seemed to be some changes in the Heavenly Samsara Disc. Some information about this Divine Artifact suddenly appeared in his mind. If he continued to cultivate in seclusion, he might be able to understand some secrets of the Heavenly Samsara Disc.
However, what he needed most now was time.
He decided to take it slow and wait until he returned to Snow Province before slowly comprehending it.
…
Along the way, Ding Hao saw countless miserable scenes.
Almost all the human-inhabited cities in Orchid Province had fallen. The entire Human Clan in the province had been slaughtered by the Demon Clan. Blood flowed like a river, and corpses were piled up on the ruins. Demon Aura was surging everywhere, as if the whole province had become a paradise of the Demon Clan.
Ding Hao and Tianshu also killed many Demon Clan experts along the way.
Unfortunately, this did not change the situation.
The two of them traveled hundreds of thousands of kilometers to the north and carved a b.l.o.o.d.y path in the area occupied by the Demon Clan. No one knew how many Demon Clan experts they had killed, including an expert at the Peak of the Demon Emperor Realm. What they had done scared all the demons in Orchid Province out of their wits.
In just five or six days, the two of them had made a name for themselves. Wherever they went, they killed famous masters of the Demon Clan. Later, when all the forces of the Demon Clan heard that the two of them were coming, they had to retreat and hide.
Ding Hao and Tianshu were crowned as the Young and Old G.o.ds of Ma.s.sacre by the Demon Clan.
Later, the experts of the Demon Clan had set up a trap to kill Ding Hao and Tianshu halfway, but they had suffered heavy losses. All the experts of the Demon Clan were almost killed. For a time, in the territory of Orchid Province, Gan Province, and Ding Province, some bloodthirsty experts of the Demon Clan didn’t dare to kill the Human Clan so boldly.
On this day, the two of them finally entered Qian Province’s territory.
Among the hundreds of provinces on the Divine Central Continent, Qian Province was considered a medium-sized province. There were super forces of the Human Clan, such as the Rain-falling Pavilion, the Saber-drawing Sect, and the Wave-hearing Pavilion. The Green Wood Holy Palace in the Central Region also attached great importance to the protection there, and hundreds of Green Wood Holy Guards were stationed there all year round.
Therefore, the power of the Human Clan in Qian Province was many times more powerful than that in other provinces.
“I hope that Qian City of Qian Province hasn’t fallen into the hands of the Demon Clan!” Ding Hao muttered to himself.
Along the way, he saw that the human cities had been turned into ruins, countless human sects had been wiped out, and bones piled up in untold human villages. Monsters and beasts could be seen everywhere. He could see nothing but a miserable sight. The past prosperity was gone, and there was often no living person in tens of thousands of kilometers…
This tragic scene made Ding Hao feel as if countless ancient mountains were pressing down on his heart. He traveled with a heavy heart.
Along the way, fighting with demons, he even had an illusion that he and Tianshu were the last two survivors of the Human Clan in the whole world. This kind of loneliness and anger was beyond words.
At this time, as long as Ding Hao could see a living person appear in front of him, he could instantly be excited for several days.
“Tianyuan City, the second-largest city in Qian Province, is 250 km ahead. This is the place where the Saber-drawing Sect, the major sect in the Central Region, is located. It should not have fallen. Let’s go and have a look…” Uncle Tianshu identified the direction and led the way.
Looking down, they found that the ground was in a state of devastation.
There were traces of fighting and killing everywhere.
Gradually, they heard a violent explosion in front of them, as if thousands of troops were fighting. All kinds of roars, screams, shouts, and shrieks could be vaguely heard. In the air, there were fluctuations brought by the collision of Qi and Demon Aura, which were spreading from the distance like tides.
“There are experts fighting!”
Ding Hao and Tianshu looked at each other and instantly sped up. They streaked through the sky like lightning and dashed forward, consuming their Qi without hesitation.
…
Tianyuan City.
The second-largest city in Qian Province.
Even on the entire Divine Central Continent, Tianyuan City was large enough to be ranked in the top 300. With the Saber-drawing Sect, which was ranked in the top 30 on the Divine Central Continent, Tianyuan City was definitely one of the important cities for the Human Clan.
In the past, no Demon Clan experts above the Primordial Realm dared to show up within a radius of 500 kilometers of Tianyuan City.
But today, everything had changed.
