Supreme Emperor of Swords-Novel

Chapter 869 The Bitter Journey of Searching

Zero Thought Immortal Nun only took Sweet Sound and Lei Tingchan as her last two disciples. Sweet Sound had made rapid progress. Now what she was concerned about most was Lei Tingchan. After hearing the news brought by Ding Hao, she was completely relieved. She did not expect that the fate of Lei Tingchan was even better than that of Sweet Sound. Now she had actually entered the immortal land.

“She must have been working very hard these days.” Lei Tingchan sighed softly. Zero Thought Immortal Nun was the most important person in her life, like her own mother.

“Do you want to go to the Mountain Gate of Fortune with me?” Ding Hao asked.

Lei Tingchan thought for a moment, shook her head, and said, “I want to cultivate in this human society. A year later, I will come here to wait for you to send me to the Land of Infinity.”

“But now the God’s Palace is hunting for devil demon star everywhere. It will be very dangerous for you to go out,” Ding Hao advised.

Lei Tingchan smiled and said “It’s fine. I’ve already lived in this place for a very long time, and I am familiar with everything here including the complete Heaven Path. Now I finished my metamorphosis, so no one can recognize me. Not to mention that if I want to make progress on my cultivation, I have no choice but to travel through the human society instead of cultivating in a secluded place.”

Seeing that she was determined, Ding Hao did not try to persuade her anymore.

Under the guidance of the Sky-fleeing Stone Key, Ding Hao walked out of this ghost city with Lei Tingchan. The ancient buildings could seemingly move and took the initiative to make way for him. Obviously, there was a horrible formation here. Everything was normal on the surface. However, once one accidentally entered it, he would definitely be completely lost and never be able to find the way out.

Outside the Ghost City, all the people who had come here to seek adventure or good fortune left.

There were still traces of battle on the square, with mottled bloodstains and sword fragments everywhere. Most of the corpses had been disposed of, and there were new graves on the ground. The whole square had almost been completely smashed. There was still a faint aura of power in the air, among which the densest one was from the genius demon...

“I wonder if that master from the Demon Clan escaped from the army of the God’s Palace at last.” Ding Hao thought in his heart.

“I’m leaving.” Lei Tingchan left as her figure vanished into the distance.

Since she came to this world, she had let her hair grow and no longer worn a Buddhist robe. She was like a beautiful fairy with a graceful figure and beautiful appearance, which made people’s hearts beat faster. Perhaps it had something to do with her cultivation which required her to live in human society for a while.

Ding Hao waved to the distance, and then returned to the depths of the Ghost City with Nalan Chu and her brother. They went back to the Mountain Gate of Fortune through the silver altar.

At this time, Li Lan was also waiting for him.

After a brief introduction to each other, Nalan Chu and her brother were arranged properly, being taken away by Wang Juefeng.

Ding Hao felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, finding that Li Lan, Li Yiruo, Ren Xiaoyao, and others were grim. He felt strange and asked, “Is there anything wrong? By the way, where is Shuang’er? Did she go out to play with Evil Moon again? No wonder I haven’t seen that fat cat these days.”

Li Lan was silent for a moment and told him what had happened before.

Ding Hao was stunned with his face changed dramatically. He said, “What did you say? Shuang’er, Woxing, Evil Moon, and Blackie... all disappeared in the chessboard formation and they entered the formation with me last time?”

Li Lan nodded with her eyes red.

Every child was the apple of her mother’s eye. Although Li Lan was a tough woman outside, she showed undisguised panic and sadness at this moment.

Ding Hao looked at her and knew that she was not feeling good, either. He didn’t say other words but took a deep breath and tried to calm down to sort out his thoughts.

This was definitely not good news.

If Ding Tianshuang, Ren Woxing, the cat and the dog all entered the chessboard formation together, it meant that they arrived at the Land of Divine Grace long ago. The teleportation of the chessboard formation should be random, so it was impossible to know where they were sent to.

The problem was that the Eastern Divine Palace was pursuing reincarnated demon stars all over the world. There was no doubt that Shuang’er and the others were also on the wanted list. Once they met the armored masters of the Divine Court, they would definitely die.

Two children and two pets had been in Land of Divine Grace at least for half a year. How did they spend the past half a year without any ability to take care of themselves?

Ding Hao felt heart-wrenching at the thought of her baby daughter being cold and hungry in the bad weather.

This world was too dangerous, and the aftereffects of the chessboard formation were also horrible. It was also very painful to adapt to the Land of Divine Grace.

Ding Hao’s mind was in a mess.

“What if Ding Tianshuang is already...” Ding Hao did not dare to think about it, and he had never been so scared.

Ding Hao barely calmed down and looked at Li Lan who was extremely haggard. He buried all his worries and persuaded her with a smile, “Don’t worry, that fat cat Evil Moon is already a master in the Demon Emperor realm. Blackie also has terrifying bloodline power in its body. With these two guys around, so Shuang’er and Woxing are definitely safe. I will go out immediately to look for them.”

“I’ll go with you.” The expert on Fate Cultivation Ren Xiaoyao jumped up.

He had also been worrying about his son these days.

He was tortured day and night.

Ding Hao thought for a moment and said, “I’d better go alone. You haven’t understood the Heaven Path in the Land of Divine Grace and adapted to the transformation, so you can’t help me much. Besides, everything here must not be exposed.”

Ding Hao planned to keep the whole Swordsmanship-seeking Sect in the Mountain Gate of Fortune to cultivate and quickly improve their strength. They could not leave this place, because once they confronted a behemoth like the Eastern Divine Palace, it would definitely be a disaster. Everyone in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect could be regarded as a reincarnated devil star, so the God’s Palace would not let them go.

After making some arrangements, Ding Hao immediately left the Mountain Gate of Fortune.

He couldn’t wait to find his daughter.

“Since they were sent here from the same chessboard formation as me, logically speaking, they should be teleported to the same area as me. At least, they should not be too far away from me. So maybe Shuang’er and the others are in the Ocean Forest?” Ding Hao speculated.

He started searching in Ocean Forest first.

The main area was near the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe.

However, three or four days passed quickly, Ding Hao did not find any clues. It was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Before leaving the Mountain Gate of Fortune, Ding Hao asked Chu if she had found anyone else in the place where he lost conscience. Chu was very sure that there was only Ding Hao at that time, and there was only one fireball falling from the sky.

Ding Hao sneaked into the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe several times to observe carefully, but he didn’t find any trace of Ding Tianshuang.

“Searching alone by myself is harder than finding a needle in a haystack. But I can’t ask the disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect to search for me now. First of all, they are too weak. Secondly, with so many warriors of the Land of Infinity appearing at the same time, God’s Palace will definitely be alerted. If the warriors of the God’s Palace attack together, it will definitely be a great disaster for the entire Swordsmanship-seeking Sect!”

Ding Hao was in a dilemma.

As a parent, he would pay any price if only he could find his daughter.

However, as a member of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, he did not want to bring disaster to it because of his personal affairs.

Time flew by as half a month passed.

Ding Hao searched the area of thousands of miles around the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe, but he still had no clue.

“It seems that my way to find them is wrong. I’ll have to change my method.”

Ding Hao began to contemplate.

In a trance, the sound of fighting suddenly came from the front, and there was a faint and horrible energy fluctuation. The closer Ding Hao got, the clearer the energy fluctuation was. it sounded as if two armies were fighting madly. All kinds of flames burst in the sky, and the void trembled. The raging flames rose to the sky, burning the whole forest.

“Hmm? Is that... the direction of the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe?”

Ding Hao was slightly shocked and turned into a flowing light, flying toward the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe.

In an instant, he arrived at the periphery of the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe.

There were about thousands of strong men in scarlet beast skin armor surrounding the entire Heavenly Wasteland Tribe. They were attacking the tribe. The scene was extremely tragic. The Heavenly Wasteland Tribe resisted those strong men by virtue of high walls and inscription formation. However, be it the number of fighters or high-end combat capability, the Tianhuang Tribe was far behind. Now the situation was critical.

“Red Tiger Tribe, we have no quarrel with you Heavenly Wasteland Tribe and we are all living in harmony. Why did you ambush us today?” An angry voice sounded out from the city walls of the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe.

“Huh huh huh, old man Leng, the law of the jungle always exists in the Oceanic Forest. The strong are respected, and everything depends on strength. Now the strength of our Red Tiger Tribe is far beyond your Heavenly Wasteland Tribe. It is natural for us to annex you. You can only blame yourselves for being too naive. In this murderous forest, there is no friendship to speak of.”

In the sky, a mighty old man riding on a flame giant tiger laughed.

Boom!

There was a loud bang.

One of the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe’s walls collapsed, and the defensive inscription formation in the southwest region was also broken through. In an instant, the warriors of the Red Tiger Tribe rushed in through the gap like floods.

“Fight with them to the death!” The experts of the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe looked desperate and got crazy.

Once a tribe was breached, then everything would be over. Women would become tools for sex. Men would either be killed or enslaved. Children would be sold... These were very common in the Ocean Forest. There were tribes falling and tribes rising every day.

“Ah...” A miserable cry sounded.

The muscular man Debiao was chopped in half by an expert of the Red Tiger Tribe and died on the spot.

Shrieks and exclamations came from the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe. Those ordinary women and children, like frightened hens, didn’t know where they should hide. The towering statues were also destroyed, and the houses were burned and collapsed. It looked like the end of the world.

Seeing this scene, Ding Hao also felt it was a little cruel.
