Instantly, Qin Huaiju’s body was torn and crushed as it got turned into countless blazes. It was just like dazzling fireworks before splashing onto the sea surface.

Afterward, the ocean was deathly quiet!

Everyone was terribly frightened and afraid as they waited for the fire to dissipate. They looked forward to seeing that majestic silhouette once again and hoped that their hero was still alive!

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

After the fire had dissipated!

Everyone was able to see Yang Dingtian still hovering in midair clearly. All of his clothing had been completely torn into pieces.

The majestic silhouette was covered in blood.

Both of his eyes were tightly shut, but he was still holding onto that huge sword while his body was still releasing an intense killing aura.

This scene would be engraved into everyone’s heart forever, and they would never be able to erase it for eternity.

“Ahhh…” Ling Wu wailed and darted out suddenly.

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

Yang Dingtian was fine!

He opened up his eyes very quickly. Although his injuries were severe as Qin Huaiju’s final suicidal attack was too terrifying. The amount of energy was numerous times more than what Qin Huaiju could emit normally.

The youngling sword had withstood the majority of the damage. Yet, Yang Dingtian was still drenched with blood, and his body was gravely injured.

Ling Wu immediately darted over. After which, she hugged onto the mutilated Yang Dingtian before darting back quickly.

Afterward, she used the shortest path to rush back to Inferno Island. She also didn’t waste any time to place Yang Dingtian into the wooden bucket that was filled with the holy water.

It was the same clear water that had healed Ling Zhong, which contained less than half a bowl of holy water. Ling Zhong intended to use it as a family heirloom and hand it down as an inheritance.

Although the holy water was already extremely diluted, Yang Dingtian’s injuries weren’t as serious as Ling Zhong. Furthermore, his mystic meridians’ innate potential wasn’t something that Ling Zhong couldn’t compare with. Therefore, he had woken up in just one day.

Immediately after he woke up, he saw Ling Wu’s emotional and bewitching eyes. They were like an emotional net.

The day when Yang Dingtian had lost his consciousness, she had practically not left his side. She kept on looking at Yang Dingtian with her beautiful eyes to the point that she had even lost track of time.

She revealed a surprised expression when she saw Yang Dingtian had woken up. However, she didn’t dodge the eye contact. Instead, her beautiful eyes became even more emotional.

“Yang Dingtian, you lied to me…” Ling Wu spoke frailly. Her voice had changed entirely. It became frail and enchanting. It was totally different from how it was previously.

Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but be surprised when he heard her calling out his name. Afterward, he touched his own face.

“Yesterday, your mask was destroyed amid the final great battle.” Ling Wu commented, “Your appearance is totally the same as that evil bastard after he had put on his disguise. I had memorized this face into the depths of my bone. However, in the past, it was hatred that was engraved deep into the bones. Now, it was the affection that was engraved deep into the bones.”

All of a sudden, Yang Dingtian was rendered speechless when he heard her brazen and provocative speech.

“Be at ease. No one other than me had seen your real face yet. I hugged you immediately. Furthermore, during that point in time, your whole body was drenched in blood. After carrying you into this room, I had ordered that no one is allowed into the room, including my father.” Ling Wu commented, “Currently, they should be extremely impatient already.”

“After that, did you conquer the Black Blood Island?” Yang Dingtian inquired.

“Conquered, with no difficulty.” Ling Wu replied, “We had also rescued your Black Blood Cavalry brothers as well. However, four of them had died. After which, our people and your brothers had massacred all the remaining pirates on the island. We had also rescued several hundred women and seized countless gold coins and treasures.”

“That’s good, that’s good…” Yang Dingtian said.

“It seemed like your Black Blood Cavalry brothers had received an order. They were extremely anxious to leave. It seemed like your mother-in-law, and the Commander Ximen Lie was gathering them urgently.” Ling Wu continued, “However, they left behind four men to wait for you to wake up.”

“Let them in then. Just help me cover my face with a piece of towel.” Yang Dingtian replied.

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

After the four Black Blood Cavalry brothers entered, they bowed respectfully immediately!

“The Black Blood Cavalry thanks Hero Yan for his life-saving grace! It’s really fortunate for us to see Hero Yan had awakened!”

Yang Dingtian’s face was covered with a layer of towel as he spoke, “You’re welcome.”

It wasn’t because he was unreasonable and didn’t wish to meet his brothers. Rather, it was because he had important matters he needed to handle after this, and he still couldn’t reveal his identity yet.

“Originally, we should have knelt down to thank your life-saving grace. However, my Black Blood Cavalry had only knelt before the City Lord Ximen last time. Afterward, we will only kneel before Young Master Yang Dingtian. We plead Hero Yan to take no offense to it.”

Yang Dingtian replied solemnly, “All of you are filled with indomitable spirits. You need not kneel to anyone.”

“Sometimes, kneeling on a single knee is also a form of honor.” The Black Blood Cavalry brothers replied.

“Why is your commander summoning you people back so urgently?” Yang Dingtian inquired, “Of course, if you don’t wish to, you can choose not to reply.”

“Our Black Blood Castle is open and upright. Everything we do can be told to others.” The Black Blood Cavalry brothers commented, “The Heaven Dao Union is about to convene the Northwest Conference. They want to force the Evil Dao infiltrator accusation onto our Young Master Yang Dingtian. They want to make Young Master Yang Dingtian lose his standing and to be hunted by the whole world. They want to make Young Master Yang Dingtian lose his spot to participate in the next year City Lord competition. We are unable to locate the Hidden Sect disciple, Young Master Wu Ming. Therefore, Madam Ximen and Commander Ximen had to gather all of the brothers outside and to arm ourselves fully and kill our way back to the Cloud Heaven City!”

(TL note: I changed Nameless to Wu Ming, as it sounds a little better.)

Yang Dingtian’s heart suddenly trembled.

This group of bastards. This group of shameless bastards!

Ximen Ju, Yang Yan, Qin Huaiju, and Tang Bozhao were actually trying to eradicate Yang Dingtian completely. They wanted to slander him so that he would never be able to emancipate himself even if he were to get formidable.

“Currently, the Heaven Dao Union’s Northwest Conference is controlled by those villains. If the final meeting is to be statutory, our Young Master would really be chased by the whole world as an Evil Dao infiltrator. If that is going to happen, two thousand of our Black Blood Cavalry brothers would definitely use our blood and sharp swords to protect Young Master Yang Dingtian’s honor!”

“Don’t go…” Yang Dingtian had almost blurted out what he wanted to say. But he endured it.

They would never listen to it unless he were to reveal his real identity as Young Master Yang Dingtian to command them.

But he couldn’t do so. He couldn’t let anyone associate Yang Dingtian and the Hidden Sect disciple, Wu Ming, to be affiliated in any way.

“Where is the conference being held? When is it being held?” Yang Dingtian inquired.

“It’s organized in the Cloud Heaven City, five days from today!”

Five days! He was close to 6,000 miles away from the Cloud Heaven City. It would be a long and difficult journey. However, five days were sufficient!

He had to use the shortest route to reach the Cloud Heaven City in the least time and stop all of these from happening.

If the Heaven Dao Union were to classify him as an Evil Dao infiltrator and were to issue a hunt for him all around the world, he would never be able to emancipate himself.

And over 2,000 Black Blood Cavalry brothers would shed their blood and sacrifice their lives!

If this were to happen, they were bound to be the Don Quixote that was charging to the windmill or the sea waves that were throwing themselves to the reef. They were doomed to die horribly and sacrifice themselves in vain. This included Ximen Lie and Madam Ximen.

(TL note: Don Quixote is a Spanish novel of this ‘knight’ on his adventure, and one of his adventures was him trying to fight against windmills as he thought they were giants.)

Yang Dingtian would never allow any of his family members or brothers to sacrifice themselves or shed blood for him. Never!

“Hero Yan, we’re pressing for time. We shall bid our farewells. We still have to rush back and fight alongside our brothers!” The Black Blood Cavalry brothers replied, “If we are to survive by chance, we will definitely not refuse any errands Hero Yan is to send us. Whether it’s to throw our heads, shed blood, or to go up the sword mountain and down the flaming sea, all you need to do is to send us a letter!”

“Take care!” Yang Dingtian replied while shivering, “In addition, convey a message to your Madam and Commander Ximen. Tell them to never give up hope. A miracle will definitely happen. Don’t sacrifice in vain!”

“Our sacrifice will not be in vain. However, we will definitely convey Hero Yan’s words. Goodbye. We wish for Hero Yan’s speedy recovery.” The Black Blood Cavalry brothers spoke their words of farewell before bowing deeply. Finally, they withdrew themselves respectfully and left!

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

“Are you leaving?” Half a minute later, Ling Wu walked out and inquired softly.

Yang Dingtian nodded.

“What about your injuries?” Ling Wu continued.

“I will be fully healed tonight.” Yang Dingtian commented. Afterward, he stood up from the wooden bucket.

Ling Wu searched for his clothing before putting it on Yang Dingtian gently and delicately.

“Will it be dangerous?” Ling Wu inquired gently.

“Shouldn’t be.” Yang Dingtian replied.

Afterward, Ling Wu no longer inquired about it anymore as she tidied everything for Yang Dingtian gently.

After she had finished tidying up, she spoke to Yang Dingtian, “I will go and prepare the stuff you need for tomorrow’s departure.”

“Sure.” Yang Dingtian commented.

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

Yang Dingtian sat down on his bed after Ling Wu had left. Afterward, he took out half a cup of holy water from his spatial ring and drank it.

In a short period, his body started to turn feverish. Afterward, warm energy started to circulate his whole body as it removed all the obstructions and clot that was caused by his injuries.

Yang Dingtian circulated his mystic qi rapidly as he drove this warm energy to every location within his body.

Merely an hour later, Yang Dingtian’s injuries had disappeared without any trace.

Indeed, this holy water was truly overbearing and powerful. He truly had no idea why the secret realm contained such a formidable item that was so heaven-defying. He truly had no idea how the ancient world could actually create such formidable holy water as well as the grand and mysterious secret realm that was tens of thousands of meters deep inside the sea.

At this moment, the youngling sword was beside him. Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but bring it over. He infused mystic qi in and waited for its reply.

This was an intimate interaction Yang Dingtian had to do with it every day. Every time, the Primal Chaos Divine Senses in the youngling sword would leap up and reply. Furthermore, it would reply with even more enthusiasm after every interaction.

However, unexpectedly, the youngling sword did not have the slightest amount of reaction after the infusion this time.

Immediately, Yang Dingtian was alarmed. It’s unlikely that something had happened to the sword, right? That must not happen! The current youngling sword was his lifeblood.

Once again, he infused his mystic qi in the sword. As before, there wasn’t any response. Immediately, Yang Dingtian was very shocked. Yesterday on the sea, the youngling sword had shared a large portion of the injuries from the flame for Yang Dingtian from the final suicidal attack. Previously, every time it devoured fire attribute energies, it would cheer excitedly like a baby drinking milk. Could it be injured by the extremely formidable flame?

If it were so, Yang Dingtian would really kill himself because of regret.

He would rather withstand those frantic raging flames himself than to let his youngling sword do it.

“Master, what’s wrong with my youngling sword?” Yang Dingtian quickly called out to Dongfang Niemie in his mind.
