Nine Yang Sword Saint Chapter 201

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Didn't it mean that little Ning Ning's biological father was this Qin Huaiyu in front of Yang Dingtian?

That's right; it must be him!

Firstly, the man who sullied Ning Rou'er should be a person with a great status. Otherwise, when Ning Rou'er was returning to the Northwest Continent, those Sky Phoenix Pavilion's disciples wouldn't pick her up with great fanfare.

Furthermore, that senior sister, that was stationed at the foothold of the Northwest Continent's Sky Phoenix Pavilion Branch, had a rather strange attitude towards Ning Rou'er. She was looking down on Ning Rou'er and was also envious of her.

Yesterday, the Sky Phoenix Pavilion's members were also following the Northwest Qin Clan blindly.

That's right, that bastard should be Qin Huaiyu!

Back then, Qin Huaiyu must have obtained some kind of information and found out where that traitor from two hundred years ago, Li Tianxiao, must have lived in seclusion until death. Furthermore, he knew that Li Tianxiao must have treasures on him.

Hence, he headed towards that secret cave at the top of the mountain where Li Tianxiao had lived in seclusion.

He didn't expect to encounter Ning Rou'er from the Sky Phoenix Pavilion at that place. Perhaps it was due to Ning Rou'er's captivating beauty, or perhaps it was his own reason, Qin Huaiyu violated Ning Rou'er and caused her cultivation to be crippled and to be pregnant with their daughter, little Ning Ning.

In an instant, Yang Dingtian's heart couldn't help but feel incomparable hatred.

This bastard didn't only violate such a beautiful woman like Ning Rou'er, he still had his eyes on Yanyan. If Yang Dingtian had the opportunity, he must tear this man into pieces!

“Young Lord Wu Ming, do you recognize these wordings?” Qin Huaiyu asked.

Yang Dingtian quickly suppressed the hatred in his heart. After all, it was more important to pass this challenge right now!

The Hidden Sect was in control of the world. Thus, the Hidden Sect disciples did know many more things than regular people. It wouldn't be excessive to say that they were pedantic celestial people that studied the world.

If Yang Dingtian weren't to answer this question, it wouldn't be good.

At this moment, Qin Huaiyu's eyes were staring indifferently at Yang Dingtian. Even though he didn't have imposing eyes, but it could still make the person feel like they were on pins and needles.

It was apparent that Yang Dingtian was overly concerned and protective over this matter, making Qin Huaiyu suspicious about the identity of the Hidden Sect's Wu Ming. Thus, Qin Huaiyu was giving such a difficult question to probe at Yang Dingtian.

But, it was truly fortunate that Yang Dingtian just happened to know the answer to this question. Or else, it would truly be dangerous.

Yang Dingtian slightly frowned and replied, “This is the written language of the Foxman Race.”

Yang Dingtian didn't say anything else, apart from this statement, that sounded rather impatient.

Qin Huaiyu's expression moved slightly as he said, “Senior Wu Ming is truly a pedantic celestial being. Then do you know the meaning of these words?”

Yang Dingtian replied, “The Foxman Race is just a desolate small race residing in the far eastern wilderness. They merely have a population of a few tens of thousands. Why do I need to learn their written language?”

Qin Huaiyu smiled and said, “It is already a pleasant surprise for you to know that this is the written language of the Foxman Race. Nobody Qin shall always remember the favor from Young Lord Wu Ming in solving my doubts. I shall take my leave.”

Afterward, Qin Huaiyu immediately bade farewell.

He arrived earlier and left even earlier!

It was extremely rare for someone to know the written language of the Foxman Race. Hence, this test from Qin Huaiyu should have been responded to correctly by Yang Dingtian. But why was Qin Huaiyu's attitude still so indifferent after the test? That was rather strange.

Of course, Yang Dingtian wouldn't believe that Qin Huaiyu didn't know the Foxman Race's written language.

The other half of this Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map should have been in Qin Huaiyu's possession for many years. With the influence of the Northwest Qin Clan, they must have already deciphered the wordings on it. Right now, they just lacked the other half of the map that was with Yang Dingtian.

Yang Dingtian would never have imagined that the other half of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map would be with the Northwest Qin Clan.

It was truly troublesome now! It would be truly difficult to obtain the other half of the map from the Northwest Qin Clan, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Without the other half of the map, Yang Dingtian would never be able to find the exact location of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame. Without the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame, Yang Dingtian would never be able to strengthen himself.

He wouldn't be able to win the martial contest for the City Lord position next year. He wouldn't be able to forge his soul sword or cultivate his sword soul. There wouldn't be any hopes for him to defeat Dongfang Bingling, four years later.

It could be said that, without the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame, Yang Dingtian would be utterly hopeless. Furthermore, there was only half a year's worth of time left for him to search for Mystic Flame.

But what about the Northwest Qin Clan? They were the strongest faction in the entire Northwest Continent. It was truly a dragon's pool or a tiger's den, it was the most dangerous of all places! How was he going to take the other half of the map from them? Steal? Snatch? Deceive? It was the same as plucking the fangs of the tiger.

For a moment, Yang Dingtian didn't know what to do. Hence, he temporarily put this matter aside. After all, the most important thing right now was to force Yang Yan and the others into submission, and how to obtain the manual containing the third rank of Pig Slaying Sword Art.

But there was something Yang Dingtian was certain of that was he could no longer visit Yao Rao. The entire Cloud Heaven City was Qin Huaiyu's control, including Yao Rao. If Yang Dingtian was to ask Yao Rao to decipher the wordings on the map, Qin Huaiyu might know that the other half of the map was on Yang Dingtian.

This Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame could even make a Grandmaster class expert insane over it. Yang Dingtian would never allow anyone to know that he had half the map.

Yang Dingtian even suspected that if Qin Huaiyu were to know that he had the other half of the map, even if he was truly the Hidden Sect disciple, Wu Ming, Qin Huaiyu might still make a move on Yang Dingtian. After all, this was the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame!

Yang Dingtian was feeling rather frantic at this instance.

Right at this moment, Yang Yan's voice echoed from outside. “This old one, Yang Yan, pays his respects to Young Lord Wu Ming.”

He was finally here. Yang Dingtian had been waiting for a long time.

Yang Dingtian replied, “Enter!”

After Yang Yan entered, his face had this pretentious smile. His expression might seem very respectful, but his eyes had a different intention.

“What is it? Have you thought through the matters about Yang Dingtian and the Pig Slaying Sword Art?” Yang Dingtian asked in a dull tone.

Yang Yan said, “Those matters aren't important. There is another more important thing.”

Yang Yan had a bizarre tone, and it even had a trace of mockery. Who or what gave him this courage?

“What matter?” Yang Dingtian's tone immediately turned icy cold.

Yang Yan said, “After knowing that the disciple of the Hidden Sect had arrived at Cloud Heaven City, the world's influential forces had started to move. All the Three Sects, Nine Clans, and Twenty Seven Branches, without any exception, are all rushing over. Leaders and Clan Heads of 29 factions have personally came over. There are ten factions' leaders that had important matters at hand, so they sent their important members over.”

When Yang Dingtian heard all these, his heart instantly jolted vigorously. He had a feeling that his soul was about to scatter.

He had gone overboard!

The reason Yang Dingtian could impersonate the Hidden Sect disciple because he could wield the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword. At the same time, the Hidden Sect had been secluding themselves for two centuries, meaning all those people who had seen the Hidden Sect members in person, were mostly dead.

There was another reason. When he was impersonating the Hidden Sect disciple, the people with the highest cultivation that he faced were Qin Huaiyu, Qin Wanshan, and Yang Yan. These trio's cultivation had yet to exceed the Martial Ancestor class. Hence, without exchanging moves, it was impossible for them to expose Yang Dingtian's cultivation class.

In fact, it was very simple if they wanted to expose him, as they simply have to exchange moves with him. Even a single move was enough to expose Yang Dingtian's disguise. Back at the Divine Weapons Manor, Yang Dingtian didn't cross moves with Qin Huaiyu directly and had merely demonstrated two moves of the Swaying Calamity Crossing Sword.

If they were to engage in a spar, there was no way for Yang Dingtian to hide his Great Mystic Martial Master class cultivation. How was it possible for the disciple of the Hidden Sect to be merely at the Great Mystic Martial Master class. It would undoubtedly be an impersonator.

But, they didn't dare to take this risk. Hence, Yang Dingtian had never been exposed as an impersonator.

But, if it were a Grandmaster class expert or even a Master class expert, there wouldn't even be a need to exchange moves for such experts to scout the cultivation of others.

Therefore, if Yang Dingtian were to encounter a Grandmaster class expert, his identity would definitely be exposed. Even if he were to encounter a Master class expert, there was a huge probability that he would be exposed.

Right now, the experts from the Three Sects, Nine Clans, and Twenty Seven Branches were rushing over to Cloud Heaven City.

Among them, there were dozens of Master class experts, and there should be two or three Grandmaster class experts.

If he were to encounter them, his disguise would be exposed without a doubt, and he would definitely have to die. In fact, death was already the lightest sentence of punishment.

Impersonation of a Hidden Sect disciple could be considered the worst sin in this world. It might even be a greater sin than being an infiltrator from the Evil Dao.

It was no wonder Yang Dingtian's Master, Dongfang Niemie, had always objected to the impersonation of the Hidden Sect's Wu Ming!

Yang Yan added on. “Because the distance is too far away, most of the Clan Heads and Leaders wouldn't be able to arrive in time. The fastest among them would be Clan Head Qin, who will only arrive in Cloud Heaven City at night time. He is also coming back along with our Cloud Heaven City's Overseer, Ximen Ju!”

Yang Dingtian's heart jolted vigorously yet again.

Clan Head Qin, Qin Wanchou was coming too!? And he was going to arrive tonight?

Yang Dingtian instantly felt that his heart was cramping up, as this Clan Head Qin, Qin Wanchou was a Grandmaster class expert.

If he were to see Yang Dingtian, he would instantly see through Yang Dingtian's cultivation and instantly expose the fact that Yang Dingtian was a fake. By then, Yang Dingtian would have fallen into eternal damnation.

It was all because of his own simple-minded thinking. He assumed that after flashing his identity as the Hidden Sect disciple, Yang Yan and others would submit to him obediently.

But in fact, this old fox was only respectful on the surface but was actually conspiring in the dark and trying to drag out the time before handling the situation to Qin Wanchou.

From the looks of it, the old fox was already suspicious of his identity as the Hidden Sect's disciple.

This wouldn't do. He had to think of a way to escape as soon as possible. He had to leave before evening time, or everything would be lost if Qin Wanchou arrived.

“Since he is arriving at night, why are you telling me now?” Yang Dingtian responded coldly.

Yang Yan said, “Lord Qin Wanchou might only arrive at night, but the influential factions in Cloud Heaven City's nearby vicinity have already arrived. There is a total of 179 individuals, and they are all waiting for Young Lord Wu Ming's appearance at the conference hall.”

Yang Dingtian's heart jolted again as he was hoping there won't be any Master class experts among them.

But when Yang Dingtian recalled that the experts beyond the Master class in the nearby vicinity of Cloud Heaven City would only be Clan Head Qin Wanchou of the Northwest Qin City, Yang Dingtian immediately calmed down.

“Oh?” Yang Dingtian responded indifferently, “Who are those people?”

“They are the nearby smaller factions.” Yang Yan said.

Yang Dingtian frowned slightly and said, “Then I shall not be seeing them.”

“It is best for Young Lord Wu Ming to meet with them.” Yang Yan suddenly had a strange expression as he said, “Even though most of them are from small factions, but there is an influential person among them. Furthermore, he is closely related to the Hidden Sect.”

Yang Dingtian's heart tensed up as he asked, “Who is it?”

“The Head of Fall City Sword Sect, Yun Potian!” Yang Yan replied.

(TL Note: This Sect isn't one of the Three Sects but is one of the Nine Clans, it would sound better as a Sword Sect.)

Yang Dingtian's eyes instantly blacked out as if Yang Yan's words were like thunderbolts.

The thing that Yang Dingtian was most afraid of had happened!

Yun Potian was a Master class expert, but that was nothing much. Most importantly, he was one of the people in this world that was most familiar with the Hidden Sect.

Fall City Sword Sect was a faction that was the most closely related to the Hidden Sect in the world. In fact, most of the people assumed that they were the spokesman for the Hidden Sect.

Over two hundred years ago, the Fall City Sword Sect was just a third or fourth-rate faction and wasn't listed in the Three Sects, Nine Clans, and Twenty Seven Branches.

But during the war with the Evil Dao, they were the most fearless and had the most prominent performance. Furthermore, at that time, the daughter of the Fall City Sword Sect Head had been sent to serve the Hidden Sect Patriarch.

Thus, after the war, the Hidden Sect Patriarch bestowed a sword art to the Fall City Sword Sect, which was the Boundless Heaven and Earth Sword.

Since then, the Fall City Sword Sect had instantly strengthened. In just a few decades, they had risen from being unknown to being a dominant faction of the Nine Clans.

Thus, the Fall City Sword Sect had been known as the faction that had the closest relationship with the Hidden Sect. Basically, none of the Heaven Dao Union members would dare to provoke them.

Right now, the Fall City Sword Sect Head, Yun Potian, actually arrived in Cloud Heaven City to pay his respects to Yang Dingtian. This was the worst possible news for him.

Having a meeting with him? There was a possibility that Yang Dingtian might be exposed!

Not having a meeting with them? Then it might make it as though Yang Dingtian was guilty.
