Supreme Emperor of Swords-Novel

Chapter 875 Jade and Ivory Peak

It was indeed a sect with a long history.

Ding Hao wandered around the mountain gate for a while and suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake. For a man who was terrible with directions, the mountain gate of the Divine Sword Sect was like a maze at night. He soon got lost and couldn’t tell the direction.

Fortunately, his confidence had his capability as a foundation. Although he got lost, he was not discovered by anyone in the sect.

From time to time, Ding Hao released his Divine Senses to observe the surroundings, and then he continued to search. He decided to have a look at those magnificent halls and giant towers first. There should be high-level masters of the Divine Sword Sect. Maybe they knew something.

Under the dark night, Ding Hao glided around like a ghost.

Even if ordinary disciples of the Divine Sword Sect passed by Ding Hao, they could not know he was there.

Ding Hao flashed and came to a sword tower more than 10 meters high. He looked up and found the light that shone through the window of the upper floor. He released his Divine Senses to explore. With a thought in mind, he came to the window on the top of the tower.

He looked through the window carefully.

It was a very tidy and empty stone room with nearly no furniture. It was very clean and tidy. An old man with youthful features and white hair was sitting cross-legged on a rush cushion, cultivating.

This old man was very powerful, and powerful Sword Qi was surging around him. He was inhaling and exhaling two streaks of silver Sword Qi that resembled two Sword Balls through his nose. As he breathed, the Sword Balls became more and more solid and substantial.

Obviously, it was a very brilliant and sophisticated cultivation method of Sword Qi.

Ding Hao could roughly estimate that the old man was at least a top Martial Sage.

“With his strength, he should be a senior of the Divine Sword Sect. I don’t know his exact status. Maybe he knows the whereabouts of Shuang’er and the others.”

Ding Hao hesitated.

“I can only defeat the experts in the Sage Realm when I activate my Devil Saber and Rusted Sword. In that way, I would attract the attention of others in the Divine Sword Sect. At that time, I would be in trouble. What’s more, it would consume too much Qi to search the sea of consciousness of an expert in the Sage Realm. If he has strong willpower, I won’t get find any useful information at all.

“Should l launch an attack or not?

“If people of the Divine Sword Sect treated Shuang’er and the others well, what I do today will make myself a snake in the bosom.”

Just as Ding Hao was hesitating, the door of the stone room in the tower suddenly opened. A little boy of eleven or twelve years old walked into the room and said, “Master, Sect Leader wants to see you.”

The old man with youthful features and white hair hid his aura, and the two Sword Balls disappeared from his nostrils. He slowly opened his eyes and said, “What’s the matter?”

“I don’t know, either. Maybe it has something to do with those reincarnated demon stars,” the boy said respectfully.

The old man nodded, got up and walked outside.

Suddenly, he turned around. There was Sword Light gleaming across his eyes. He glanced back at the window of the tower, his gaze like lightning. After a while, the Sword Light in his eyes disappeared and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes. Just now, he clearly felt a strange aura, as if someone was peeping at him. Why did it feel like an illusion when he sensed his existence?

“Is there something wrong with my Physical Qi Sword Ball?”

The old man shook his head. He stopped being confused and left with the boy.

The next moment, Ding Hao flashed and appeared in the stone room.

“This old man is also alert. I just planted a Divine Sense brand in him with the secret method of the Mind Essential. I was almost discovered by him. It seems that the top masters in the Sage Realm are really powerful. I should be careful.” Ding Hao felt shocked.

Fortunately, the Divine Sense brand had been planted.

It made it much easier for him to follow the old man.

Just now, the child said that the Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect invited that old man to discuss the matter of the reincarnated demon stars. It might have something to do with Shuang’er and the others. Ding Hao decided to follow them and find out the truth.

In the main hall of the Divine Sword Sect, the old man with youthful features and white hair frowned and said, “In your opinion, Senior Brother, how should we deal with those two little kids?”

Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect said, “The God’s Palace has issued a strict decree that we must kill all the reincarnated demon stars. Logically speaking, we should not disobey the orders of God’s Palace. However, the two little demons are only three or four years old. They are ignorant and were no threat at all. The most important thing is that although I have been in charge of the Divine Sword Sect for a hundred years, I have never met geniuses with such aptitude and constitution. Even the few bloodline geniuses in our sect are far inferior to them.”

“Senior Brother, do you mean that you want to keep these two little demon stars and take them as disciples?” The old man with youthful features and white hair was slightly surprised.

The Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect shook his head slightly and said, “After all, they are the reincarnated demon stars. Non-Divine Sword Sect disciples would end up being estranged. If I take them as disciples, I am afraid that they will definitely become a disaster for our Divine Sword Sect in the future. It is not worth it to risk being discovered and punished by God’s Palace.”

In the main hall, in addition to Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect and the old man with youthful features and white hair, there were six or seven other powerful Hall Chiefs of the halls of the Divine Sword Sect, all of whom had real authority and were of different ages.

“Then Senior Brother means...” Another middle-aged man asked in confusion.

The Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect smiled and said, “Junior Brothers, do you still remember the magical technique of enabling a warrior to change his fate and body when Great Martial Uncle Qingyang went out accidentally about 50 years ago?”

The old man with youthful features and white hair was shocked and said subconsciously, “Senior Brother, are you talking about the Magic Method of Substitution? That’s an evil method...”

“There is no distinction between good and evil cultivation methods, but there are differences in the people who use them and the way they are used.” The Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect smiled slightly and said, “Those two demon stars are still young. We can try out best to cultivate them with the power of the sect. When their bodies mature, we will take their souls with the Magic Method of Substitution. Their bodies will become the best stoves for our Divine Sword Sect. At that time, we may be able to cultivate two War Gods for our Divine Sword Sect!”

“That... might be a feasible idea.” The old man with youthful features and white hair nodded thoughtfully.

“If we succeed, our Divine Sword Sect will definitely be far more powerful at that time.” A middle-aged man nodded and said, “Since Senior Brother said so, it is worth the risk. It’s not a big deal to offend God’s Palace. What’s more, if we keep it a secret, God’s Palace may not find out. However, how to deal with the Fat Cat and the Three-headed Heavenly Hound?”

Another gloomy old man in black said sinisterly, “That Fat Cat is just a hybrid beast. We can deal with it as we like. However, if the Three-headed Heavenly Hound is pure-blood, it will be of some value. Unfortunately, it is not that talented and doesn’t have a promising future. Let’s kill it and keep it secret.”

“Junior Brother Mu is right. It’s settled then.” The Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect smiled with satisfaction. But then, he seemed to have thought of something and said, “By the way, who brought these demon stars to the sect?”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, “I know what you mean, Senior Brother. Don’t worry, those disciples will never appear in the sect in the future.”

The Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect nodded and sighed, “I’m sorry for them.”

The middle-aged man said indifferently, “The reason why the sect cultivates them is to use them. It’s their honor to die for the sect.”

“Treat their family well,” the Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect uttered.

All the people present agreed.

Outside the main hall, Ding Hao’s eyes sparked with killing desire in the shadow of the base of the statue.

He had heard everything they said just now.

None of the Divine Sword Sect was good. The little demon stars mentioned in their discussion was obviously Ding Tianshuang and Ren Woxing. If the Demon King, Evil Moon knew that the Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect regarded it as a hybrid beast, how would it react?

Ding Hao thought for a while and made up his mind.

“I have to save Shuang’er tonight.”

The discussion in the main hall came to an end soon.

The experts of the Divine Sword Sect came out successively. The Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect and the old man with youthful features and white hair were the last to walk out. They stopped at the entrance of the main hall. The Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect asked, “Junior Brother Kun Yu, are those two little demon stars still in the Jade and Ivory Sword Tower?”

The old man with youthful features and white hair said, “They have been in the tower and have been taken good care of. However, that little boy has been clamoring for going out to find his father. He’s very noisy and has been bugging us.”

“Clamoring for his father?” The eyes of the Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect were gleaming coldly. He said thoughtfully, “Could the father of these two little kids be the man who descended a year ago?”

“That... can’t be, can it?” The old man with youthful features and white hair shivered.

The demon star that descended on the Divine Sword Mountain Range a year ago was so powerful and terrifying that he almost destroyed the entire Divine Sword Mountain Range. At that time, the Sect Leader led a group of people to chase after him but were defeated instead. Even the two god-level experts in the sect were seriously injured and had to seclude themselves to get healed.

The Divine Sword Sect had been humiliated in that battle.

If it weren’t for the fact that that reincarnated demon star didn’t start a massacre, the Divine Sword Sect would have disappeared from the world.

Recalling what happened that day, the Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect and He Kunyu couldn’t help but feel a chill that made them shuddered.

If that man was the father of those two children, the Divine Sword Sect might be in trouble.

The Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect massaged his temples and said, “Let’s check the two little kids. For the time being, we have to comfort them and can’t make them hostile to us.”

In a flash, they disappeared from where they stood.

In the distance, Ding Hao slowly walked out from behind the statue.

It was now less than two hours before dawn. Ding Hao calculated with his fingers and predicted that the army led by Shan Xiong should be about to arrive at the town on the periphery of the Divine Sword Mountain Range. In that way, everything would be ready soon.

Because of the Divine Sense brand planted on Kun Yu, the old man with youthful features and white hair, Ding Hao was not worried about losing their traces.

He carefully followed behind them without causing the Divine Sword Sect on alert.

A moment later, a peak like jade appeared in his sight. Surrounded by black peaks in the night, the jade peak was distinct from the others. It seemed to be carved out of white marble. It was more than 5,000 meters high, and there were no paths around it.

On the east cliff of the jade peak that was as bright as a mirror was engraved with four big words-

Jade and Ivory Peak!
