Dugu Fengwu said, “Then, are you going to give up on this Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame too?”
“I don’t want it anymore.” Dongfang Bingling spoke frankly, “The Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame might be rare in this world, but I might be able to find another one. But I just have to pay a little price.”
After finishing her statement, Dongfang Bingling gently put her sword to the side and said, “Now, are you going to let me leave or to let me escape after a huge fight? You should know that it is not possible for the two of you to make me stay or to kill me. If you truly want a fight, both sides will suffer.”
Dugu Fengwu and Gudu Wuhuan had gone into silence.
It was obvious that Dongfang Bingling was actually telling the truth.
Even if the Evil Dao’s Peerless Prodigies Duo worked together, they wouldn’t be able to kill Dongfang Bingling. Exactly how powerful was this woman?
“If we truly fight, I admit that I will have to escape with injuries, but the two of you will not have a good time either. Two days later, when the Mystic Flame blooms, how are you going to contest against the other Half-Human Races?” Dongfang Bingling stated.
Dugu Fengwu was still in silence. She suddenly looked at Yang Dingtian and said, “Then, what about this Shen Lang?”
Dongfang Bingling said indifferently, “He is unrelated to me.”
Dugu Fengwu asked, “Are you not concerned as to how are we here and who is the one that set up the trap for you?”
Dongfang Bingling shook her head, “I don’t care about conspiracies, I only care about my strength. It is time for you to make a choice, let me leave, or I’ll have to escape after a fight.”
Dugu Fengwu took a deep breath and said, “You are right. The two of us can’t kill you even if we worked together. If you will ultimately escape, why don’t we just let you leave now.”
Dongfang Bingling commented, “You aren’t that foolish.”
“But.” Dugu Fengwu said, “We came here from tens of thousands of miles away with the secondary objective of obtaining the Mystic Flame. The main objective… is to kill you!”
Immediately after, Dugu Fengwu spoke with a cold voice, “Hypocrite, if you don’t show yourself, we really have to let go of this Nine Heavens Fairy. Don’t even think about getting the profit after the crane found the clams.”
“Haha…” Suddenly another laughter echoed in the air.
Another figure drifted over. It was also an extremely familiar figure, and it was the Northwest Qin City’s Young Lord, Qin Huaiyu.
“I am from the same Heaven Dao Union with Fairy Dongfang. Hence, it really isn’t nice to fall out in front of her. But since Young Lady Dugu Fengwu summoned me, I, Qin Huaiyu, had to reveal myself.” Qin Huaiyu said, “Fairy Dongfang, if the Princess of Temple of Blood and the Young Lord of Joyous Palace are unable to make you stay even if they worked together, what if the Northwest Qin City’s Young Lord, Qin Huaiyu is included? We should be able to kill you, right?”
Dongfang Bingling’s gorgeous face revealed a grave expression that was never seen before.
“If the three of you work together, I am most probably going to be killed.” Dongfang Bingling asked Qin Huaiyu, “But why? Why kill me? Doesn’t your Qin City want the Mystic Flame? My Yin Yang Sect has been closing one eye in regards to your Qin City’s expansion in the Northwest.”
Qin Huaiyu sighed lightly and said, “Fairy Dongfang, even if we missed out on the Mystic Flame this time, we can look for another one. Ten years, twenty years, we will ultimately be able to find another one. But the chance to kill you might truly be very uncertain. Especially the ability to kill you secretly… this might be the only chance.”
Dongfang Bingling asked, “Is killing me really that important that you are unhesitant to collude with the Evil Dao?”
“That’s right. Killing you is very important and is the top priority of my Qin City and also the Evil Dao.” Qin Huaiyu said, “For the past four centuries, no one had been able to break through to the Saint class, and it was actually a great thing as the world would be in balance. But you… Fairy Dongfang has absolute talents and might possibly break through to the Saint class in another 20 to 30 years. You will become the only Saint in this world. If that happens, the Evil Dao will certainly face destruction, and my Qin City will never be able to stand on the peak. Hence, for the future of Qin City, killing you is the first priority while the Mystic Flame would only be the second priority.”
“As for the colluding with the Evil Dao?” Qin Huaiyu said, “Aren’t there plenty of collusions between the factions of the Heaven Dao Union and the Evil Dao already?”
Dongfang Bingling merely chuckled and didn’t say anything else, let alone pleading for mercy.
“Shen Lang!” Qin Huaiyu looked at Yang Dingtian and said, “You wouldn’t possibly think that my father thinks highly of you and appointed you as the Military Advisor, right? You wouldn’t think that my father greatly admires your strategy and really wants to form an alliance with the half-humans and wait for the future? It is entirely not required because our Qin City and the Evil Dao are already a family.”
Subsequently, Qin Huaiyu said, “For my Qin City to stand on the top, it is true that we need to eliminate the Yin Yang Sect and the Mystic Heaven Sect. But assisting and nurturing the half-humans’ strength is simply too remote. Why do we want to seek the remote option when we have an available one? Why can’t we just look for the Temple of Blood and the Joyous Palace? The Hidden Sect and the Shrine of Extermination are no longer around. Wouldn’t it be nice if my Qin City, the Temple of Blood, and the Joyous Palace are to rule the world together with supremacy?”
“Who said the Hidden Sect isn’t around?” Yang Dingtian said, “Recently, the Hidden Sect’s disciple Wu Ming appeared in Cloud Heaven City, isn’t he the disciple of the Hidden Sect?”
“Hahahaha…” Qin Huaiyu instantly laughed and said, “Hidden Sect’s disciple, Wu Ming? Fairy Dongfang, before your death, let me deliver a piece of top-secret information. The so-called Hidden Sect’s disciple, Wu Ming, is actually your fiancé… Yang Dingtian!”
Once this statement was out, Dongfang Bingling’s delicate body shivered violently, and she revealed an expression of disbelief for the first time.
Yang Dingtian’s heart had also violently shaken as he was about to turn and look at Dugu Fengwu instinctively.
Dugu Fengwu was the only person in this world who knew the secret that the Hidden Sect’s disciple, Wu Ming, was actually Yang Dingtian. Furthermore, Qin Huaiyu must have found out about this secret after Yang Dingtian left the Cloud Heaven City. Otherwise, Yang Dingtian wouldn’t have been able to leave the Cloud Heaven City alive.
But soon enough, Yang Dingtian stopped himself from looking at Dugu Fengwu. Instead, he looked at Dongfang Bingling.
Her absolutely beautiful face was filled with surprise as she said, “Impossible. Yang Dingtian cannot possibly know the Hidden Sect’s sword art. Yang Dingtian cannot possibly know the thunder attribute mystic skill.”
Qin Huaiyu laughed, “Fairy Dongfang, you are the absolute prodigy of this world and have never put anyone in your eyes before, even your own father. You feel that your talents are No.1 in the history of four centuries, but I can tell you that you might not be the world’s No.1 anymore. Yang Dingtian’s talents might not be inferior to you.”
“Impossible.” Dongfang Bingling spoke with fury, “Yang Dingtian cannot possibly have such an outstanding talent. Do you have any evidence of him impersonating the Hidden Sect’s disciple?”
Dugu Fengwu said dully, “I have another identity, and that is the Seven Refined Lane’s Third Lady Gongsun! I am the one who forced Yang Dingtian to impersonate the Hidden Sect’s disciple. I am the one who taught him the Hidden Sect’s sword art, but I only taught him the superficial moves. I didn’t expect for my fake sword art to become the real sword art after he learned it.”
