Chapter 198: Kneeling to Young Lord Wu Ming!

“Evidence! Will Grand Elder Yang Yan bring out the evidence.” Ximen Lie said coldly, as he was one of the members of the conference.

“Evidence?” Yang Yan burst into laughter and said, “Does it mean that we cannot punish Yang Dingtian without evidence? Do we have to wait until Yang Dingtian becomes like Li Tianxiao? Or do we have to decide his punishment after hundreds of thousands of Heaven Dao Union members have suffered? Who will bear the responsibility? Do you, Ximen Lie, think you can assume the responsibility?”

At this moment, a beautiful woman spoke indifferently, “My Sky Phoenix Pavilion is situated in the Southwest Continent. I didn’t wish to make a speech at this conference, but because I have been advocating for the north and south to merge, hence, I shall be so bold to say something. In regards to if Yang Dingtian is an infiltrator of Evil Dao, I wouldn’t know because I wasn’t present during the incident. But I know that in recent months, there has been a group of pirates that have been plundering, killing, violating women, and doing all sorts of evil things at sea along the Northwest Continent. Even my Sky Phoenix Pavilion’s disciple, Ning Rou’er, had been assaulted by these pirates on her ship. It was fortunate that she was rescued; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. Afterward, I found out that this band of pirates actually originated from the Black Blood Cavalry.”

At this instant, Ximen Lie’s lungs were about to explode. He truly didn’t think there would be such despicable things and people in this world.

That beauty from the Sky Phoenix Pavilion ignored Ximen Lie and sneered as she took out a stack of things and said, “I have reports from a large number of victims and also the portrait of the pirate chief. Will everyone take a look at who this person is?”

Immediately after, the woman from the Sky Phoenix Pavilion opened up the portrait.

The person in the portrait had subtle evil qi along with his elegant appearance. This person truly looked like Yang Dingtian, but his bearing wasn’t Yang Dingtian’s bearing as Yang Dingtian wasn’t so sinister.

“That’s right. This person is Yang Dingtian!” Yang Yan yelled out, “To right the wrongs and to serve justice to the innocent victims, I propose for the Heaven Dao Union to immediately issue an order for the pursuit of Yang Dingtian to the world! No matter who or what faction, as long as they see Yang Dingtian, they should be allowed to execute him unconditionally. The apprehender will obtain special merit from the Heaven Dao Union.”

Ximen Lie instantly scoffed and said, “Grand Elder Yang Yan, aren’t you the one that knows the most about those pirates, more than anyone else?”

“Ximen Lie, what do you mean?” Yang Yan spoke in a cold voice, “Have you been driven into desperation?”

“You are the one who has been driven into desperation. You are worried about Young Lord Yang Dingtian’s rapid progress and worried that you would be utterly defeated in the Cloud Heaven City Lord’s Martial Contest that will be held a few months. Thus, despite your reputation on the line, you disregard your sense of honor and smear the dirty facts onto Young Lord Yang Dingtian and want to exterminate him.” Ximen Lie spoke indifferently.

“Ximen Lie, how dare you!” Yang Yan instantly roared with rage.

“Enough.” The host of the conference, Qin Wanshan, spoke insipidly, “This isn’t the auction. Do not shout your words of abuse here. In regards to the proposal from the Cloud Heaven City’s Yang Yan. Are there any other opinions?”

Suddenly, there was nothing but silence.

“Then, I shall speak of my opinion.” Qin Huaiyu said indifferently, “According to Grand Elder’s words, it is highly possible that Yang Dingtain is an infiltrator from the Evil Dao and might bring grave danger to the Heaven Dao Union. Hence, he must not be left alone. But there is no concrete evidence. It might be a little sloppy to immediately declare that Yang Dingtian is an infiltrator of the Evil Dao and issue the order for the pursuit. Thus, I am suggesting to use the name of the Heaven Dao Union to issue an arrest warrant on Yang Dingtian. No matter who or what faction, as long as they see Yang Dingtian, they are allowed to arrest him immediately. If he puts on a resistance, he shall be killed without negotiation.”

Grand Elder Yang Yan asked, “Then will Yang Dingtian still be qualified to participate in the Martial Contest for the City Lord’s position next year?”

Qin Wanshan said, “Until Yang Dingtian can prove his innocence, he shall not have the right to participate.”

“Alright, we will make the final decision by vote.” Qin Wanshan said, “Those that agree to Qin Huaiyu’s proposal to issue the arrest warrant on Yang Dingtian and also to cancel his participation rights to the Martial Contest for the Cloud Heaven City Lord’s position, please put your weapon on the table.”

Instantly, everyone present started to put their weapons on the table.

Yang Yan and Madam Ximen were considered the parties that were involved, hence, they didn’t have the right to make a vote.

The final verdict was out. Apart from the parties that were present, everyone agreed to Qin Huaiyu’s proposal.

“Then it shall be decided.” Qin Wanshan said coldly, “Immediately announce to the world and declare Yang Dingtian as a suspect of being an infiltrator from the Evil Dao and immediately conduct a worldwide arrest warrant. Anyone in the world or any faction shall put in their full effort to arrest him on sight. If there is any resistance, he shall be killed without negotiation. At the same time, Yang Dingtian’s participation rights for next year’s martial contest to decide Cloud Heaven City Lord shall be canceled.”

“Hahahaha...” All of a sudden, Ximen Lie burst out in laughter, and his laughter was filled with mockery and impudence.

“Ximen Lie, what are you laughing about?” Qin Wanshan yelled sternly, “Are you looking down on the authority of the Heaven Dao Union?

Ximen Lie sneered and said, “I have never seen such a shameless scene in my life. It is truly an eye-opener for me today.”

Qin Wanshan said in a cold voice, “The decree from the Heaven Dao Union is sacred and must not be violated. Are you going to disobey?”

Ximen Lie immediately grasped the giant sword in his hand and walked outside while saying, “We will use our blood to uphold our remaining honor.”

Qin Wanshan’s face turned cold, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. “You are seeking your own destruction.”

“It is better than being a coward.” Ximen Lie replied.

Subsequently, he and Madam Ximen walked out and into the military formation of the Black Blood Cavalry before abruptly drawing their longswords.

“Ximen Lie is leading the Black Blood Cavalry and requesting for the Heaven Dao Union to change the decree. Otherwise, we will use our weapons to conduct a blood remonstration!”

“Hu...” Instantly, all of the Black Blood Cavalry soldiers stood up.

“Swish...” All of the Black Blood Cavalry soldiers drew their swords and instantly turned into a forest of sharp swords.

“Ximen Lie, are you revolting against the Heaven Dao Union?” Qin Wanshan shouted sternly, “In regards to all who revolt, the Heaven Dao Union has the authority to decimate them. I will count to ten. All of you will immediately throw the weapons in your hands and kneel on the ground while waiting for punishment. Otherwise, all shall be killed without mercy!”

Ximen Lie had an unyielding expression as he shouted indifferently, “We request for the Heaven Dao Union to withdraw the unreasonable decree!”

Finishing his words, Ximen Lie took a step forward.

Over 2,000 Black Blood Cavalry soldiers behind him, wielded their giant swords and took one step forward as well. They were like a black tide and brought about an immense pressure.

“Ten...”

“Nine...”

“Eight...”

As Qin Wanshan was counting down, Ximen Lie led his black tide-like Black Blood Cavalry and marched forward step by step. They approached the city gate step by step, and Ximen Lie was right at the front.

“Five...”

“We request for the Heaven Dao Union to withdraw the decree! Otherwise, our Black Blood Cavalry shall use our weapons to conduct a blood remonstration!”

“Four...”

Ximen Lie led his Black Blood Cavalry and didn’t show any signs of retreat as they continued to press on.

At this moment, Qin Wanshan and Yang Yan’s face revealed cruel sneers.

“All Heaven Dao Union’s army! Get ready to suppress the rebels!”

“Clang...”

There was an orderly sound of weapons being drawn.

The soldiers on the city walls had drawn their sharp swords and prepared the giant crossbows.

The Northwest Qin Clan’s thousands of cavalry soldiers immediately mounted their horses and drew their weapons.

The Northwest Qin Clan’s thousands of infantry soldiers immediately pulled down their iron masks and drew their weapons.

The Heaven Dao Union’s Northwest Branch’s cavalry drew their weapons.

The 1,000 cavalry soldiers led by Ximen Nu drew their weapons.

The army that surrounded the Black Blood Cavalry had all drawn their weapons.

As soon as Qin Wanshan would issue the order, a great battle would erupt. Ten thousand soldiers would go against the Black Blood Cavalry, conducting a final massacre.

“Three... Two... One!”

In an instant, Yang Yan, Tang Bozhao, and the others had an extremely sinister and pleased expression.

“Ximen Lie, you are seeking your own destruction as expected!”

“Slaughter the rebels!” Qin Wanshan issued the command.

“Boom...” An army of 10,000 soldiers rushed at the Black Blood Cavalry like a tide.

The great battle was instantly going to erupt.

Over 2,000 Black Blood Cavalry was about to be engulfed.

***

“Stop!” Suddenly, the air had this distinct and cold voice.

Immediately after, a figure that was fairer than snow had landed softly on the plaza of the Cloud Heaven City.

Yang Dingtian disguised himself as the Hidden Sect disciple, Wu Ming, and had finally arrived.

But the battle had already begun, and the massacre had started as fresh blood was splattered violently!

“Stop...” Yang Dingtian said in a cold voice, “If no one stops, both parties shall be guilty! Everyone present shall be executed!”

Instantly, Qin Huaiyu, Qin Wanshan, Yang Yan, and the others who were on the city gates all had a change in expressions.

“Stop!” Qin Wanshan roared loudly.

Afterward, he abruptly jumped off from the city walls and bowed down with extreme respect. “Northwest Qin City’s Qin Wanshan pays his respects to Young Lord Wu Ming.”

At the same moment, everyone on the city walls had leaped off one after the other and bowed down respectfully too. “Heaven Dao Union’s Northwest Branch pays our respects to Young Lord Wu Ming.”

Ximen Lie’s body trembled as he plunged his giant sword into the ground abruptly and bowed down. “Cloud Heaven City’s Ximen Lie pays his respects to Young Lord Wu Ming.”

“We pay our respects to Young Lord Wu Ming!” All the Black Blood Cavalry knelt on a single knee uniformly.

“We pay our respects to Young Lord Wu Ming.” Ten thousand soldiers from the joint army of the Northwest Qin Clan and the Heaven Dao Union had knelt on the ground in unison and greeted with respect.

This was the might of the Hidden Sect!

Once a Hidden Sect disciple was to walk the earth, no matter who the person was, that person would become the absolute leader of the Heaven Dao Union.

At this moment, everyone was bowing, and only Yang Dingtian was standing. He was handsome and refined, as the wind blew onto him, he looked just like an immortal.

But the current him had an icy cold expression and didn’t have a hint of a smile. He ignored everyone’s greetings and immediately walked towards the Cloud Heaven City.

When walking past all the influential figures of the Heaven Dao Union’s Northwest Branch, Yang Dingtian said indifferently, “Follow me.”

Immediately after, everyone followed behind Yang Dingtian and walked into the Cloud Heaven City.

************************

Back into the conference room again.

Yang Dingtian didn’t pass the authority to anyone and sat at the highest position at the center. He then overlooked everyone and asked indifferently, “Yang Yan, you say that Yang Dingtian is an infiltrator from the Evil Dao?”

“Yes!” Yang Yan bowed and replied.

“Where is the evidence?” Yang Dingtian asked without showing interest.

Yang Yan’s eyes shuddered for a moment as he gritted his teeth and said, “Yang Dingtian’s cultivation is one class and more than ten stages below Qin Shaobai. But he was still able to defeat him and take his life. In this world, only the Evil Soul Art can do it. Furthermore, the situation was nearly identical to the duel that involved Li Tianxiao that happened over two centuries ago.”

Yang Dingtian didn’t bother about what Yang Yan said and continued to ask without interest, “Where is the evidence?”
