Chapter 874 Divine Sword Sect

It seemed that the lanky mercenary wasn’t talking nonsense.

“What other clues did you get?” Ding Hao continued asking.

“Oh, right. I remember now. At that time, they were accompanied by more than ten experienced disciples of the Divine Sword Sect. Perhaps they left the Ocean Forest with the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect.” The lanky mercenary thought of the important clue.

The Divine Sword Sect?

Ding Hao was overjoyed. In that way, the mystery was to be unveiled.

The young man from the Golden Wind Tribe who came with Ding Hao immediately explained, “Celestial Master, the Divine Sword Sect is ten thousand kilometers away from here. It is the largest sect in the southeast of the Ocean Forest. There are countless masters in the sect.”

Ding Hao nodded and said, “You seem to be very familiar with the foreign land.”

The young man said respectfully, “I’ve been very interested in the world outside. Since our Golden Wind Tribe doesn’t have strong comprehensive strength, we can only rove around the periphery of the Ocean Forest. As a result, we frequently encounter foreign adventurers and caravans. I’ve come into contact with them for a long time and have got much information, so I know something about the foreign territories.”

Ding Hao nodded secretly. “This young man is an observant and conscientious person.”

“Marshal Shan Xiong,” Ding Hao whispered.

“Yes, sir.” Shan Xiong came out respectfully.

“Reward the Golden Wind Tribe now. You know what to do.”

“I know.” Shan Xiong didn’t dare to be negligent.

Ding Hao thought for a moment and asked the young man, “What’s your name?”

The young man said excitedly, “I am Jin Keyan, son of the chief of the Golden Wind Tribe.”

“Well, from now on, you can follow me,” Ding Hao said quietly.

Hearing his words, Jin Keyan was stunned. The next moment, he was so excited that his whole body trembled, and he was overjoyed. To be allowed to follow the Celestial Master was better than any reward. It meant that he had been trusted by the Celestial Master, and his future was promising.

Shan Xiong, who was standing next to him, also looked at Jin Keyan enviously.

“This man was so lucky. How could he be chosen by the Celestial Master and be allowed to follow him? He would benefit enormously from the Celestial Master. Maybe he will have a brighter future than me, the number one marshal of the Celestial Tribe.

“It seemed that I have to establish a good relationship with the Golden Wind Tribe.

“With Jin Keyan following the Celestial Master, no tribe in the Golden Wind Tribe would dare rival against the Golden Wind Tribe in the future.”

Ding Hao thought for a moment and said, “Leave 500 soldiers of the Heaven-exterminating Flame Army to guard the tribe. Marshal Shan, now you should go back and choose a thousand elites of the Heaven-exterminating Flame Army. After that, come to the Divine Sword Sect to find me. Come with me to the Divine Sword Sect, Keyan.”

“Yes, sir.” The two of them bowed respectfully.

Ding Hao stretched out and a one-hundred-thousand-year-old ginseng appeared in his palm. With rare spirituality, it was golden and looked like a fat doll. Even on the Land of Divine Grace, it would be regarded as a treasure.

“It is the reward for your clues.” Ding Hao gave the ginseng to the lanky mercenary in the envious eyes and the sound of swallowing saliva around him.

In the next moment, Ding Hao and the others disappeared.

Seeing that, all the mercenaries stayed where they were, stunned.

To tell the truth, these warriors from outside the Ocean Forest despised the indigenous tribes in the forest. They thought that they were a group of barbarians who lived in the beginning period of human beings. These barbarians had strong bodies yet they did not cultivate Qi, leaving an impression that they were savages with strong bodies but are simple-minded.

However, what happened today made the mercenaries feel that they lag behind.

In front of the Celestial Master with the bronze grimace mask, the mercenaries felt that they were just like a group of poor bumpkins. The Celestial Master could take out a one-hundred-thousand-year-old ginseng so easily and had countless soldiers under his command. Even an expert in the Sage Realm like Shan Xiong had to be respectful to him.

When did such a force appear in the Ocean Forest?

Looking at the golden ginseng in his hand, the lanky mercenary felt as if he was dreaming.

He gritted his teeth, looked at his companions around him, and said, “Let’s share this ginseng and take it. Then, we’ll cultivate and refine it. No one is allowed to leak out the news. Otherwise, all of us will be killed.”

The lanky mercenary was smart and knew that if he kept the entire ginseng all to himself, his companions would definitely be angry. Once anyone else knew what happened today, they would all be punished.

The group of mercenaries distributed the mysterious ginseng and found a safe place to cultivate and refine it.

For all of them, it was not only the biggest reward but also the turning point in their lives. With the powerful efficacy of the ginseng, they were making rapid progress in strength and could cultivate more easily and efficiently.

Jin Keyan really had a good understanding of the world outside the Ocean Forest.

Of course, for Ding Hao, the best news was that Jin Keyan had a good sense of direction.

With the guidance of this bodyguard, Ding Hao did not get lost on the way.

Ten thousand kilometers was a long journey for Ding Hao, who had been very anxious. He almost traveled at the cost of Qi. Finally, he arrived at the peripheral area of the Divine Sword Mountain Range when it was getting dark.

Standing in the void and looking into the distance, the Divine Sword Mountain Range was dangerous and majestic at night.

The towering peaks were like divine swords full of pride, stabbing into the dark night as if they were going to shatter even the stars in the sky. The mountains were endless, and the whole mountain range covered an area of a radius of thousand miles. The mountain gate of the Divine Sword Sect was located on these peaks.

Ding Hao released his Divine Senses and could feel that there were defense formations set up everywhere with the help of the natural terrain.

The painstaking efforts of such a large sect were far more profound and formidable than the formations of the tribes in the Ocean Forest.

Ding Hao thought about his own combat strength secretly. He found that neither the Devil Saber nor the Rusted Sword alone could break through the defense formation. Only by activating the two forbidden weapons at the same time could he have the chance to do it. Only when the power of ice and fire counteracted and produced a destructive force that could he breach the defense formation.

However, if he acted in that way, he would be frail for many days.

What’s more, he did not know if Shuang’er and the others were in the Divine Sword Sect. If they were well treated by the Divine Sword Sect, the sect would be Ding Hao’s benefactor. Naturally, he could not move rashly.

“Well, what’s that?” Ding Hao suddenly saw a huge pit with a diameter of 50 kilometers in the center of the Divine Sword Mountain Range. It looked so shocking and seemed to have been smashed out by a meteorite. Countless towering peaks were broken, but the geomantic omen of the entire Divine Sword Sect was disturbed.

The enormous pit had clearly not been formed for a long time, and the shattered rocks were scattered extremely disorderly. There weren’t any plants in it.

“Oh, well, when I was in the Northern Land City, it was said that a reincarnated demon star in the shape of a meteorite descended on the mountain gate of the Divine Sword Sect and almost destroyed the whole sect. It seems that this huge pit was smashed by the reincarnated demon star when it descended.”

Ding Hao was lost in thought.

He felt that there was a very familiar aura in this huge deep pit. It seemed to be the martial arts aura of Ding Honglei.

That was impossible.

Ding Honglei was still in Snow Province and did not come to the Land of Divine Grace.

When Ding Hao returned to the Land of Infinity this time, he had visited Ding Honglei. He had intended to take her to the Land of Divine Grace, but unexpectedly, she refused. She still had something very important to do in the Land of Infinity.

Since it was not Ding Honglei, could it be that the reincarnated demon star inherited the same martial arts as Ding Honglei?

God of War of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region!

That name instantly flashed across Ding Hao’s mind.

It must be a trace of this peerless expert who had dominated the Human Clan in the Northern Region for nearly ten thousand years.

Only such a peerless expert could retain his extraordinary combat capability and avoid being hunted by the Divine Sword Sect after he descended on the Land of Divine Grace. Ding Hao remembered that someone had said that the masters of the Divine Sword Sect had chased the reincarnated devil star because of the destruction of the sect but failed.

Ding Hao secretly guessed. Of course, in order to confirm his estimations, he had to find out the truth.

At this time, the Divine Sword School was closed and he couldn’t get into the sect.

After thinking for a moment, Ding Hao asked Jin Keyan to stay in the town outside the Divine Sword Mountain Range and wait for Shan Xiong and the others. He decided to sneak into the Divine Sword Sect to investigate. After all, it was about his daughter. If the Divine Sword Sect lured Ding Tianshuang and others here to torture them, the longer Ding Hao and his soldiers stayed there, the more Shuang’er and Ren Woxing would suffer.

With the Invincible Fighting Method in hand, Ding Hao could change and restrain his own power and aura, and he could even simulate other people’s power and aura. Therefore, it was not difficult for him to sneak into the sect.

He hid his aura and quietly approached along the steep mountain road.

The defense formation of the Divine Sword Sect was perfect. However, there was a flaw in their inscription formation because of the huge pit that had been smashed. The repair didn’t make it as good as it had been in the previous one thousand years. For a Great Grandmaster of formation like Ding Hao, it was easy for him to find a flaw and pass the first defense formation.

Then, he saw more than a dozen patrolling disciples of the Divine Sword Sect.

After they left, Ding Hao secretly imitated the aura of the cultivation method of the Divine Sword Sect. Then he quietly controlled the last disciple of the Divine Sword Sect, took off his clothes and got dressed. He also changed his own appearance and figure with the disguising skill taught by Uncle Tianshu and became almost the same as the disciple. Only then did he follow them secretly.

The Divine Sword Sect was almost equivalent to a major sect on the Land of Infinity, only inferior to the Blue Cloud Sect and the Extermination Swordsmanship Sect. However, it was also a powerful sect. Although Ding Hao passed countless checkpoints and formations, he handled them appropriately and was not suspected.

After passing 30 formations on the peak in a row, Ding Hao quietly left the patrol.

Unfortunately, the discussions of the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect during the patrol had nothing to do with Ding Tianshuang and others. Ding Hao thought that he had to find them by himself.

Compared with the perilous and magnificent peaks outside, the inside of the Divine Sword Sect was extremely beautiful. After thousands of years of operation, everything here made it a wonderland. The floating peaks were connected by silver chains and iron bridges. The formations made the water flow in the void, forming waterfalls of different sizes. The pagodas seemed to be embedded in steep cliffs.
