Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 44 Attack

In the northwest corner of the Nine Spirits City, two figures walked slowly and finally stopped in front of a building called Bright Moon Inn.

“Young Master is waiting for us here!” The man leading the way glanced at Ding Hao behind him and walked in.

Ding Hao looked around and followed him in.

With the reception from the young male servant, the two went up the stairs and came to the innermost part of the second floor.

Tap! Tap!

After the servant left, the man stepped forward, knocked on the door gently, and said respectfully, “Young Master, I have brought the man named Ding Hao here.”

“Please come in.” As soon as the man finished speaking, a voice immediately came from the room.

Before the man walked to the room, he pushed the door open, looked back at Ding Hao, and said faintly, “Young master called for you…”

“Human Pet, this guy’s attitude toward you is really not friendly!” Evil Moon said through telepathy.

Ding Hao did not respond to Evil Moon. He stepped across the threshold and walked inside.

After Ding Hao entered the room, the man closed the door and whispered, “I really don’t know why the young master invited this guy. He’s just a country bumpkin…”

His voice was as low as a mosquito’s, but with Ding Hao’s skills, he naturally heard all of what he said.

“It turns out to be because of this that he was quite hostile against me just now…” Ding Hao whispered in his heart, but he was not angry. Since his cultivation had reached such a level, he had already reached the state of being calm no matter what happened.

Although the man’s attitude was not very good, he didn’t do anything excessive. At most, he was a little indifferent. Ding Hao naturally would not mind it.

The room was very large, and there were some antiques and books everywhere. The air was filled with the fragrance of books.

Obviously, this was the best room in the Bright Moon Inn.

After entering the room and passing through a screen, Ding Hao saw Yi Gao, the young man he saw last night again.

In addition to Yi Gao, there were four men standing behind him.

These people were all tall and strong, and their bodies were full of arrogance. Their cultivation level was the same as that of the people who had guided Ding Hao before, and they were all in the martial arts Celestial Realm.

As soon as they saw Ding Hao, those people showed a trace of disdain. It seemed that they didn’t like him at all.

On the contrary, Yi Gao was very polite and friendly.

Immediately, he stood up and said warmly, “Brother Ding, you are here.”

Although Ding Hao promised him to be his guard, Yi Gao’s attitude was still very friendly. He talked to Ding Hao just like they were friends, making Ding Hao feel very comfortable and have a good impression of him.

After all, the young master of a tribe was equivalent to a prince of a kingdom in the Primordial World. He had such a noble status, and it was really commendable for him to be so polite to Ding Hao.

“Young Master Yi!” Ding Hao nodded slightly and greeted him.

Yi Gao walked up to him and said with a smile, “Hey, Brother Ding, they call me young master because of the strict rules of the tribe. You are not a member of the Yihuo Tribe. Just call me Yi Gao.”

Before he could finish his words, a guard immediately stopped him. “Young Master, that’s not appropriate. Since he promised to be your guard, he should act like one. How can he call you by your name? It’s against the rules.”

Yi Gao glanced at him and waved his hand, saying, “I just said that Brother Ding is not a member of our Yihuo Tribe, so he doesn’t need to follow this rule. Didn’t you hear what I said?”

Hearing Yi Gao’s words, the guard could only keep his mouth shut. He sighed in his heart that the young master was still too young. “Why would he be so polite to this country bumpkin?”

Ding Hao smiled and said, “Since Brother Yi said so, I won’t stand on ceremony.”

Ding Hao did not care about the dissatisfied eyes of those guards at all.

“That’s good.” Yi Gao nodded with a smile and then turned to the guard who brought Ding Hao in and said, “Go and get another room next door for Brother Ding to stay in.”

“Yes, Young Master!” After the guard was stunned for a moment, he nodded and walked out.

After a while, the man came back and said that it was done.

Ding Hao and Yi Gao talked for a while and then settled in the room next door.

This room was about the same size as Yi Gao’s room. They were both very large and very comfortable.

“I really don’t know what kind of luck you have to make the young master value you so much. However, if you don’t have enough strength, I advise you to leave as soon as possible, otherwise, you will die miserably sooner or later,” said the man lightly before he went out, leaving Ding Hao with an indifferent face and Evil Moon, who was very dissatisfied.

After taking a look at the room, Ding Hao no longer stayed and walked out.

He wasn’t under Yi Gao’s control and could move freely. Naturally, he wouldn’t stay in this inn. Furthermore, he could use this time to learn more about this world.

At the same time…

“Young Master, Ding Hao is going out!” A guard in Yi Gao’s room reported to Yi Gao as Ding Hao walked out of the room and went downstairs.

“He’s going out?” Yi Gao raised an eyebrow but still revealed a smile. “It’s fine. I promised him that he could move freely and that I wouldn’t restrict him.”

“Young Master, allow me to speak out of turn. I really can’t understand why you treat this person so well.” One of the guards asked Yi Gao with a strange expression.

Yi Gao lightly smiled and then seriously said, “Although I don’t know his cultivation level, it is definitely not lower than any of you. In a situation like this, having extra help is always good. You don’t need to worry about such things anymore. You should focus on that mission.”

“Ding Hao’s cultivation level isn’t lower than ours?”

The guards didn’t quite believe it, but since the young master had said so, they could only agree and stop asking questions.

After leaving the inn, in order to perfect his understanding of this world, Ding Hao began to wander around the Nine Spirits City.

For several days in a row, Ding Hao wandered in the city and listened carefully to everyone’s conversation to gain useful information.

During this period, he also learned that the world where the sinkhole was located was the Huge Head Planet, which was one of the nine major regions in the Primordial World. It was called the Spirit Region. In addition, there were eight other regions, each of which was governed by a race comparable to the Nine Spirits Tribe.

Of course, while wandering and observing, he also tried to inquire about the Heart of Heaven and Earth from many people here, but almost no one knew what it was.

For five days in a row, Ding Hao did not get any information about the Heart of Heaven and Earth. Although it was a little regretful, he could do nothing about it.

In the past few days, Yi Gao and others did not attack or do anything, so Ding Hao was naturally happy to be idle.

On the sixth day, as usual, Ding Hao walked on the street, released his Divine Senses, listened to the words of everyone around him, and asked about the Heart of Heaven and Earth at the same time.

Until the evening, Ding Hao still did not receive any useful information.

...

He had no choice but to return to his residence.

Walking on the road, Evil Moon complained, “It’s really hard to find ‘Heart of Heaven and Earth’. You’ve asked so many people, but none of them know where it is…”

Ding Hao’s eyes flickered, revealing a look of contemplation.

They soon returned to the Bright Moon Inn. Unlike usual, there was no one around the inn. It was quiet, and there were cracks in the ground, with smoke and dust spreading.

Ding Hao seemed to have sensed something. He hurriedly flashed and got into the inn in an instant.

At that moment, the Bright Moon Inn was in utter chaos.

Not only were the servants and managers lying in a pool of blood, but even the tables and chairs were shattered. Some liquor and the like were scattered all over the ground.

Obviously, there had been a big fight here before.

When Evil Moon saw this, it couldn’t help but ask in astonishment, “How did this place become like this?”

Ding Hao looked around and said with a slight frown, “It seems that someone has attacked here. Their target should be Yi Gao and the others!”

“Hmm? Something’s up over there!”

...

After Ding Hao sensed something unusual, his figure swayed. He immediately went out of the inn. After determining the direction, he passed through the void and used Flash Move to come to a certain place.

Several tens of thousands of feet away, in a hidden corner of the street, there were several figures running unsteadily. All of them were injured to varying degrees.

These people were Yi Gao and others from the Yihuo Tribe.

“Go after them now. Don’t have those people escape!” At this time, a loud shout sounded from behind.

The guards behind Yi Gao all turned pale. After exchanging glances, they clenched their teeth and said to Yi Gao, “Young Master, run! We’ll block them!”

As they spoke, they stopped and stood upright.

“No, if you stay here, you’ll definitely die…” Yi Gao’s expression changed again. He wanted to stop them, but at this moment, a figure appeared in front of them like a ghost.

It was none other than Ding Hao.

“Brother Ding? Didn’t you go out? How did you know we were here…” Yi Gao was stunned for a moment, but soon he looked anxious and hurriedly said, “No, Brother Ding, run now. They have sent a lot of masters. Even with you, we can’t defeat them.”

The guards had no time to care about why Ding Hao suddenly appeared there. One of them shouted, “Hurry up and take Young Master away, or it’ll be too late!”

“You want to leave? It’s too late…”

At this time, a voice suddenly came, and dozens of cold auras were targeted at Yi Gao and others at the same time, including Ding Hao.

Then, with a swooshing sound, dozens of figures came to them in an instant like dozens of huge crows, leaving black lines in the void.

They were the masked men in black who chased after Yi Gao and the others.

One of the relatively tall masked men in black let out a cold laugh. He looked at Yi Gao and the few guards whose faces were becoming increasingly pale and said sinisterly, “You guys fled quite quickly. You almost escaped…”

“Hmm?” His eyes fell on Ding Hao. After a pause, he said coldly, “I didn’t see you just now. Are you also a guard?

“Whatever. I’ll take care of you all!” With these words, he waved his hand and shouted, “Attack!”

“Protect Young Master!”

The guards bit the space between their thumb and index finger, each holding a broadsword, ready to fight the dozens of masked men in black.

But at this time, a figure was faster than them. Even before those masked men in black made a move, he had already rushed into their camp.
