Chapter 463 - A Magic Doll of Scapegoat (2/2)

Seeing Qin Keyi’s back disappear, Ding Hao sighed a little. He was still a little soft hearted after all. The right choice was to kill that outsider with one sword strike to completely keep what had happened confidential. Unfortunately, he couldn’t—like many indigenous martial artists in the world—completely disregard human lives.

Putting away the Heaven Sword and the Moon-Cutting Machete, Ding Hao went to help Ximen Qianxue.

At that time, Ding Hao’s facial expressions suddenly became gentle, as if he had changed into another person. He said softly, “This place is good and relatively safe. Maybe we should stay here for a while. Don’t worry, senior martial sister. I will certainly cure your injury and help you restore your strength.”

Ximen Qianxue smiled and didn’t speak.

Just putting her head on Ding Hao’s shoulder, she soon fell asleep again.

After so long, she was really tired.

Since entering the Sage Battlefield, for the first time, she didn’t have to worry about herself. For the first time, she felt safe and rea.s.sured. Ding Hao’s smile made her feel warm. She abandoned all her reserve and hesitation, and lay in the arms of that little man quietly. It was better to have a good sleep, even if she would sleep forever and never wake up.

Ding Hao couldn’t bear to disturb her.

Gently holding the weak girl, Ding Hao left the battlefield step by step and went down the stone steps to the main hall of the ancient military city.

That used to be the residence of Ning Huxiao. It was arranged in a very luxurious way. In the main hall, there was a bright light burning. It was warm and comfortable. All kinds of restrictions were cancelled by Ding Hao’s consciousness. All of them were broken. When he reached the dormitory on the back hall, Ding Hao used his self-made hide carpet and quilt to replace the previous blanket. Then he gently laid Ximen Qianxue on the bed.

The girl was still sleeping soundly, with a sweet smile on her lips, as pure as a baby.

Ding Hao got up and arranged the inscriptions of Chinese characters around the hall.

He arranged them carefully, and even inserted some primordial inscriptions that he had just comprehended, which turned the hall into a fortress with iron walls, so that it was strong enough to ensure that even a powerful man in the Seven-apertured Martial King Realm could not enter within 30 minutes.

After Ding Hao had done all the preparations, Ximen Qianxue was still sleeping quietly.

Qin Keyi’s voice came from outside the hall.

Ding Hao went out and saw the young gentleman with a long sword stained with blood in his hand. He respectfully said to Ding Hao, “I killed the remaining thirteen disciples of the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmans.h.i.+p Sect, and no one escaped!”

It was really bad luck for those disciples of the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmans.h.i.+p Sect.

They were so confident, since they had Ning Huxiao, that when other companions went to solve the intruding incident in the underground water dungeon, they still patrolled the ancient military station as usual. They never dreamed that more than 30 of their peers and Ning Xiaohu, the first genius of the Sect would be defeated on the first day. After Ning Huxiao fled, he didn’t inform those peers, plus the suppression power of the primordial inscription in the ancient military station, they failed to have an insight into what had happened with their consciousness. So when Qin Keyi went to kill them, they didn’t realize that the disaster was approaching and they were killed one by one.

Qin Keyi finally vented his grievance mercilessly.

Those days, he was caught by the people from the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmans.h.i.+p Sect, and he had suffered a lot. As a responsive genius in the outside world, he had never been abused. Therefore, he also hated those thugs hard. Ding Hao’s strength injected into his body relieved the suppression of the primordial inscriptions. His strength recovered by 70-80%. For those disciples in the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmans.h.i.+p Sect who were suppressed to the level of the Great Martial Mentor Realm, like chopping melons and cutting vegetables, he killed them without any mercy.

Ding Hao nodded, then looked over Qin Keyi and his gaze fell on the figure following him.

Qin Keyi quickly explained, “This man… he said that he was your agent.”

“My agent?” It made Ding Hao freeze on the spot. “That guy should be embarra.s.sed to bring it up.”

Because the man was Ai Qing, who was beaten hard by Tian Neng.

“My Lord, my Lord, I really am your agent. I didn’t betray you. I really didn’t, but Ning Huxiao is so cunning. He asked Duan De casually, and got to know that there might be something wrong with the underground water dungeon, so he took someone to deal with you… I was also locked up by them, so I couldn’t inform you in time…” At that time, Ai Qing had completely given up all postures and knelt on the ground. He looked like an obedient dog who saw his master and swore, “I swear, what I said is all true. If there’s half a lie, there will be no place to bury me after I die. My lord, please don’t kill me. For the sake of the map of the water dungeon that I had gifted to you…”

“Was that the so-called sword cultivator in the Sword Province?”

Ding Hao shook his head in disappointment, “OK, get up. I believe what you said.”

Ai Qing shouldn’t have lied.

Because the restriction was still in his brain, and he was beaten black and blue. In his body, there was the restriction made by the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmans.h.i.+p Sect, which sealed all his skills. It seemed that after being discovered as a traitor, he was put to torture and then was temporarily shut up.

That guy was really lucky.

He wasn’t killed in such a manner.

Ai Qing stood up with a flattering smile and a sigh of relief.

“Now, shouldn’t you be honest? Tell me, what kind of secret plan does the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmans.h.i.+p Sect have?” Ding Hao looked at him with a faint smile, saying, “Don’t use words like ‘don’t know’ to try to bring me down, or you will know the consequences.”

Ai Qing was in a cold sweat.

He did know it.

The thing was, he had deliberately withheld that information from Ding Hao.
