Chapter 101: Goodbye Dongfang Bingling

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

After entering the gate to the village, there was a huge performance stage. As soon as Yang Dingtian set foot inside, he immediately received countless hostile gazes.

This was because Dongfang Bingling held a sacred and inviolable position in their hearts. Since Yang Dingtian had thoughts of marrying Dongfang Bingling before, he was considered vulgar. Moreover, Yang Dingtian had already become part of Cloud Sky City but dared to trample on someone from the Yin Yang Sect right in front of the gate. This was why everyone around the performance stage was staring at him coldly.

However, Yang Dingtian acted as if he didn’t notice.

After passing through a cloister and a garden, they arrived in front of a delicate and luxurious pavilion.

This was the temporary residence of Dongfang Bingling in the Catkins Village.

Upon entering, he immediately saw dozens of people sitting in the lobby. Although the clothes worn by these people weren’t as delicate as those worn by those queuing outside, their actions were elegant. There was no doubt that these were all the important figures of the Northwest Continent and were basically known as the lords that rule the area.

Despite their high status, they were all sitting there and waiting for Dongfang Bingling to meet them.

Dozens of them were shocked when they saw Ning Ruohan bring Yang Dingtian in, and all of the attention fell on Yang Dingtian.

They were all curious of his identity as those who were able to sit here and wait were high-status individuals that owned over thirty square miles of land. Yang Dingtian looked so young. How was it possible for someone like him to come here?

“Wait for me here. I’ll go in and inform….,” Ning Ruohan said as she walked in, leaving Yang Dingtian in the lobby without anyone serving him tea.

“Child, we would like to know who you are.” Finally, someone couldn’t help but ask.

“Yang Dingtian from Cloud Sky City.”

Immediately, there were strange noises in the lobby as everyone looked at Yang Dingtian with weird gazes.

Of course, they were higher-ranking important figures and would not humiliate him like those at the gate.

“Oh, you’re truly a young hero….” The middle-aged man who asked him said this awkwardly, sat down, and no longer looked at him.

Everyone else in the lobby was similar while some even hid from his gaze as if they were feeling guilty.

Yang Dingtian didn’t understand. He understood that Cloud Sky City’s position was very awkward. It was normal for everyone’s gazes to be strange, but why guilty?

Before Yang Dingtian even managed to clear his mind, Ning Ruohan had already returned. She said to Yang Dingtian, “Just you alone, follow me in…..”

Yang Dingtian told Ximen Lie, “Brother, simply find a place to sit. Since the hosts don’t have any manners, we guests must be a little bit more flexible. I’ll be right back….”

“Okay.” Ximen Lie found a place and sat down. He then said to Yang Dingtian, “If there’s any situation, just yell and I’ll immediately rush in…”

As soon as those words came out, everyone looked at him with insulting gazes as if to ask “what help will you be if you rush in alone?”

“Okay, thanks brother….” Then, Yang Dingtian followed Ning Ruohan into the inner hall and headed upstairs.

Ning Ruohan’s waist was as small as Yang Yan’s, but her butt wasn’t considered big, which is why her curves weren’t that obvious when walking on a flat surface. But, it became very obvious when she walked up the stairs. Her curves twisted in a fascinating way.

However, Yang Dingtian didn’t like this woman, so he completely ignored it.

Ning Ruohan suddenly stopped, frowned, and told Yang Dingtian, “Walk in front.”

Yang Dingtian’s expression changed. “You’re afraid that I would peek at you from behind? Take advantage of you? Don’t worry. My wife Yanyan’s body is a hundred times curvier than yours and a thousand times more attractive than yours. You can question my character but not my taste.”

His words changed Ning Ruohan’s expression, and she clenched her teeth. She continued heading upstairs.

When they arrived in front of a door on the second floor, Ning Ruohan said coldly to Yang Dingtian, “Miss is inside. Go in by yourself and be careful when you speak. Don’t say anything when it’s not necessary. Don’t look at things you are not supposed to look at. Miss isn’t the kind that can be taken advantage of by you normal people….”

Yang Dingtian didn’t want to be as shallow as her, so he took a deep breath, pushed through the door, and entered.

He was about to meet Dongfang Bingling again, the woman that was unforgettable but not in terms of romance.

It was because this woman had hurt his pride and nearly pushed drove him to his death. Even Ximen Wuya had been destroyed due to her.

Also, because this woman was his master’s daughter, Yang Dingtian couldn’t treat her like an ordinary enemy. But, she was his greatest opponent, and only beating her would help him gain back his dignity in this life.

After entering, there was another door, a pearl curtain separating the room from the outside.

Yang Dingtian took another deep breath and walked through the curtain.

What he immediately saw was Dongfang Bingling’s back.

There was a feeling of being in a different world as he met her. At the moment, although Dongfang Bingling was just standing in front of him, it felt as if she were standing on the peak of a mountain over a thousand meters tall, so high that was unreachable.

“Brother Yang, I never thought that we would be meeting again so soon….,” Dongfang Bingling said, her voice still as cold as ice.

“But I felt as if it’s been a long time….,” Yang Dingtian said. “Miss Dongfang, please be direct with the reason you invited me here….”

Dongfang Bingling turned around, and instantly, her delicate and unique dream-like face was revealed.

Although Yang Dingtian had seen it before and his heart was filled with incomparable hatred towards this woman, he still felt the majesty of the God that was able to create such a beautiful face.

This was really a face that was beautiful enough to make anyone suffocate or to even destroy their own face.

“Brother Yang, a few days ago when I first came to the Northwest Mainland, I heard a lot about you….” Dongfang Bingling’s gaze landed on Yang Dingtian’s face, staring at him without much hatred.

At the moment, Yang Dingtian knew the reason Dongfang Bingling didn’t look at him as an enemy.

Dongfang Bingling had caused tremendous damage to him, which was the reason his heart was filled with hatred towards her.

But in her eyes, he didn’t have any weight and was completely seen as a passerby. He was not important enough to hate.

“I heard that you’ve created lots of miracles that I became curious,” Dongfang Bingling said.

Yang Dingtian instantly frowned. “You called me over just because of this?”

“That’s not it,” Dongfang Bingling said. “I called you over because I heard that you’ve learned an extremely mysterious swordsmanship that is known as the Pig Killing Swordsmanship, so I wanted you to perform it for me.”

Yang Dingtian instantly became furious.

“I, Yang Dingtian, rushed over here, over a few hundred miles, just to perform my swordsmanship for you?

Dongfang Bingling said, “Brother Yang, please don’t be so angry. It was because this swordsmanship reminded me of another one. I was wondering if it was somewhat related.”

“What swordsmanship?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“Hidden Sect’s swordsmanship, Po Sa Disaster Overcoming Sword!” Dongfang Bingling said.

Yang Dingtian was stunned. Everyone would be shocked after hearing his name.

This was because the Lord of Hidden Sect was the mightiest person in the world.

Although the Hidden Sect was mostly hidden from the world, every time there was a catastrophe, it would come out and save the world.

In this world, no matter how strong an elite was, he could only fight for the title of World’s Number Two. This was because the Lord of Hidden Sect will forever be the world’s number one. No one has ever surpassed him before.

Dongfang Niemie was given the title of World Number One, but that is in a world without Hidden Sect. Hidden Sect was not an ordinary person, so he was excluded from the rankings.

They’ve always said that there were three Sects in the world. Those would be the Yin Yang Sect, Xuan Tian Sect, and Hidden Sect!

On the surface, it felt like these three Sects were equal. But in reality, in front of Hidden Sect, the other two were nothing. Hidden Sect was the unquestioned leader of Heaven’s Order League, the true ruler of the world.

In this world, anyone could easily rise to heaven or be banished into hell with just a word from Yin Zhong.

It’s because two hundred years ago, Wanmie Shendian escaped from prison and instigated a world war. Hidden Sect had once again saved the world. It had been two hundred years since the last time anyone spotted the disciples of Hidden Sect in the world.

But as soon as a disciple did appear, that person would undoubtedly be the leader of Heaven’s Order League. Regardless of who he was, strong or weak, as soon as he appeared, he would be the leader of Heaven’s Order League.

Now that Dongfang Bingling said that Yang Dingtian’s Pig Killing Swordsmanship probably had something to do with the Po Sa Disaster Overcoming Sword of Hidden Sect, how could Yang Dingtian not be shocked?

If that was truly so, then this was a huge matter, more than sufficient for Dongfang Bingling to ask Yang Dingtian to meet her.

“Has Miss Dongfang seen the Po Sa Disaster Overcoming Sword before?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“No one in the world has ever seen it before,” Dongfang Bingling said. “It’s just that I heard many people say that your Pig Killing Swordsmanship is extremely difficult to cultivate, and those who have tried to cultivate it ended up becoming madmen. Also, I heard that Brother Yang used this swordsmanship in the Elimination Battle in Cloud Sky City to defeat countless elites who were way stronger than you. Most swordsmanships in the world only focus on Xuan energy, and very few focus on the sword art. As for the swordsmanship that emphasizes both, that description only fits the Po Sa Disaster Overcoming Sword. Since Brother Yang’s Pig Killing Swordsmanship also seems to emphasize both, I suspected the two swordsmanships might be somewhat related.”

“So, I specially invited you to demonstrate your swordsmanship,” Dongfang Bingling said.

Although what Dongfang Bingling said was reasonable, Yang Dingtian still frowned as he felt discomfort.

“I have to travel hundreds of miles just to demonstrate my swordsmanship for Dongfang Bingling, just because she summoned me. This is way too cheap of me.”

Observing Yang Dingtian’s expression, Dongfang Bingling asked, “Is Yang brother not willing to?”

“It’s in between, but I am truly not happy about it,” Yang Dingtian said.

“I understand what you’re feeling,” Dongfang Bingling said. “Actually, there is another reason I came here. I was invited by the Lord of the Northwest Qin family to host the Northwest meeting of the League of Heaven’s Order. He said that Cloud Sky City has been killing allies too fiercely these years and proposed we expel Cloud Sky City from the League of Heaven’s Order.”

“What?” Yang Dingtian was shocked.

The League of Heaven’s Order was previously formed to suppress the forces of the evil league. After the evil league vanished, this alliance continued and had been maintaining the order of the world. It was the largest force in the world and also its absolute ruler.

It could be said that being a member of Heaven’s Order League was an extremely important identity for Cloud Sky City.

If they were to lose this identity, it would be a complete disaster for Cloud Sky City.

The status of Cloud Sky City was already very awkward as they were viewed as traitors of the Yin Yang Sect, which was the reason the disciples of Cloud Sky City couldn’t raise their heads when they traveled around the world. The current situation was much better now than it was two hundred years ago.

When Wanmie Shendian led the army of the evil league out of the prison in the sea, many factions were destroyed.

The most western continent fell. Then, the western continent fell. Finally, the northwest continent fell.

In the end, the final battle of the League of Heaven’s Order and the evil league was at the border of Cloud Sky City. At that time, the Northwest Qin family had already fallen.

Cloud Sky City was standing at the forefront against the evil league. Because of their awkward status, not one of the major powers came to support them. After that, it was a statement from Hidden Sect that saved Cloud Sky City. He said that it was just a conflict within the league that was happening between Cloud Sky City and the Yin Yang Sect. They were not enemies.

Then, after just a mere word from the Lord of Hidden Sect, Cloud Sky City was listed as a member of the League of Heaven’s Order.

Since then, Cloud Sky City had been part of the righteous league instead of a mere faction.

And because Cloud Sky City was listed as one of the forty-nine members of the League of Heaven’s Order, the Northwest Qin Family dared not swallow it even though it was at its weakest.

But if Cloud Sky City were to be expelled from the Heaven’s Order League, the obstacle stopping the Northwest Qin Family from swallowing Cloud Sky City would disappear.

“This meeting was held yesterday at Catkins Village, and all the members of Heaven’s Order League in the Northwest Mainland agreed, including Cloud Sky City itself,” Dongfang Bingling said.

Yang Dingtian said in disbelief, “the people of Cloud Sky City came to the meeting? How was it that we are completely unaware of it?”

“It was Ximen Ju who came representing the elders,” Dongfang Bingling said. “He was the first to raise his hand to agree.”

“Shameless…..” Yang Dingtian was instantly furious.

Ximen Ju, the godson of Ximen Wuya, whom the latter regarded so highly, had become so heartless as to turn to the Northwest Qin Family. It was truly shameless.

Yang Dingtian never thought that the speed of the Northwest Qin family would be so quick and ruthless. Qin Shaobai had just set foot in Cloud Sky City, but the deadly attack had already arrived.

“Not only did Ximen Ju agree, but even the forces of Cloud Sky City agreed as well. They even revealed the blood-soaked wrongdoings of Cloud Sky City, especially those done by Metal Sword Fortress. They even suggested we kill the descendants of Ximen Wuya,” Dongfang Bingling said.

Yang Dingtian suppressed his anger and asked coldly, “Then ultimately, was the suggestion approved?”

He felt incomparable pain like the time when the government of Bei Yang attended the meeting at Paris after World War One.

The enemies were discussing whether or not to swallow you while you had no right to even say a word.

This world was one where the strong ate the weak.

“It has not been approved as I haven’t voice my opinion,” Dongfang Bingling said. “I am the host of the meeting while the Hidden Sect is hidden from the world. The Xuan Tian Sect is following my decisions. So, I have the right to approve this suggestion or to deny it! So, regarding the destiny of Cloud Sky City, I have the absolute final say. Whether or not it is able to remain in the Heaven’s Order League will depend on my words.”

“Are you threatening me?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“Of course not,” Dongfang Bingling said. “The Northwest Qin family Lord even proposed that as soon as this suggestion was approved, you would become the common prisoner of the Heaven’s Order League and would be escorted to the Yin Yang Sect to face punishment. Your crime would be stealing the ring belonging to the Lord of the Yin Yang Sect.”

Yang Dingtian took a few deep breaths and completely calmed down. As for the tactics of the Northwest Qin family, he was no longer angry about them. It had all turned into complete hatred instead.

After he calmed himself down, Yang Dingtian looked at Dongfang Bingling and said, “What is your stance?”

“Brother Yang, I have no hostility towards you,” Dongfang Bingling said. “Today, I called you over. If there is a slight relation between the swordsmanship that you demonstrate and Hidden Sect’s swordsmanship, no one would dare to propose the idea of expelling Cloud Sky City from the League of Heaven’s Order. This is because it can be viewed as a swordsmanship that was passed down to you from the Hidden Sect, which shows the relationship between Cloud Sky City and the Hidden Sect.”

Yang Dingtian said, “But, no one in the world has ever seen the swordsmanship of the Hidden Sect. How could they determine if the Pig Killing Swordsmanship has any relation to their sword art?”

“Which is why I specially invited the young master of Qing City Sword Faction, Yun Wanli. He’ll be able to tell whether or not your swordsmanship has any relation to that of the Hidden Sect with just one glance,” Dongfang Bingling said.

Qing City Sword Faction was one of the nine factions.

In fact, it was originally just a third-rate faction and wasn’t listed among the Three Sects, Nine Factions, and Twenty-seven Groups. It was during the World Destruction War two hundred years ago that they performed extremely bravely despite having weak forces. The Hidden Sect’s Lord saw this and praised them greatly. Then, they passed a sword scroll to their faction and even summoned the only daughter of the Qing City Sword Faction’s Lord for a few days to give instructions.

Dozens of years later, Qing City Sword Faction had grown to the point that it finally became listed as one of the top nine factions.

Hence, Qing City Sword Faction was the faction that had the closest relationship with the Hidden Sect. Their swordsmanship scrolls were bequeathed by the Lord of the Hidden Sect. Although it was still far behind compared to the actual swordsmanship of the Hidden Sect, it still had some relations to it. Therefore, this Yun Wanli would truly be able to determine if Yang Dingtian’s Pig Killing Swordsmanship had any relations with the Po Sa Disaster Overcoming Sword of the Hidden Sect.

Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and nodded. “Okay, I agree!”

“Thanks, brother,” Dongfang Bingling said. Then, she ordered the people outside, “Let Yun Wanli, the young master of Qing City Sword Faction, come in.”

A couple of minutes later, a man’s passionate voice sounded from the outside.

“Qing City Sword Faction’s Yun Wanli greet Dongfang angel.”

“Please come in,” Dongfang Bingling said.

A man in white clothes walked in with a gentlemanly and arrogant aura. Being the force that was closest to the Hidden Sect, he was especially respected wherever he went. Even Dongfang Bingling was also polite towards him.

So, Qing City Sword Faction had become one of the renowned factions, having cast off their weak past from a hundred years ago.

“Young master Yun, this is Yang Dingtian from Cloud Sky City,” Dongfang Bingling said.

Yun Wanli said politely, “I am Yun Wan Li. It is my pleasure to meet Mister Yang.”

In the League of Heaven’s Order, even though they were disciples of different factions, they addressed each other as brothers. Yun Wanli addressed him as Mister Yang, which meant that he looked down on Yang Dingtian’s Cloud Sky City identity and was not willing to address him as such.

“Young master Yun, nice to meet you,” Yang Dingtian said.

Yun Wan Li said, “I heard that Mister Yang’s Pig Killing Swordsmanship is extremely mysterious that it might even have a relation to the Hidden Sect. I came here to learn about it.”

Yang Dingtian found that he not only sounded arrogant but even hostile.

Soon, he understood where this hostility came from.

Yun Wanli was extremely proud of his faction’s special relationship with the Hidden Sect, and they wished to have such glory exclusively for themselves. Once he heard that Yang Dingtian’s Pig Killing Swordsmanship might have a relation to the Hidden Sect, he instinctively developed hostility towards him, thinking that Yang Dingtian was about to snatch away their glory. He felt that Yang Dingtian did not deserve such glory and felt that he was a con artist, so he naturally wanted to expose Yang Dingtian’s true face.

“I know that your Xuan energy is very weak, so we’ll compete with our sword arts and not Xuan energy. Is that okay?” Yun Wan Li said.

“Okay,” Yang Dingtian said as he drew his strange Millennium Owl Sword. He thought in his heart, “Whether or not Cloud Sky City is able to remain in the Heaven’s Order League depends on you, my partner…..”

Then, the two of them walked to the center of the hall and began their sword art competition in front of Dongfang Bingling.
