Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6399: Yang Dingtian’s Fury

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Brother Xue Yang, I’ll get to the bottom of this right away!” The head of Qishen Temple was drenched in sweat.

At the same time, he was puzzled as to why Yang Dingtian was so furious today.

It seemed like no one had provoked him!

As he recalled that they were searching for True Lord Xue He, a chilling thought crept into his heart.

Before long, they discovered that it was all orchestrated by Fairy Ziyu.

Those who had disguised their identities included Elder Tian Can, True Lord Wuhou, and others.

“Scoundrels! Do you think Qishen Temple is your playground? You do whatever you want?” The temple head roared at his subordinates, “Arrest everyone involved and make sure to find out Ziyu’s motive!”

However, Yang Dingtian didn’t have time to vent his anger on them. With a cold expression, he soared into the sky and left.

That day, he pulled every string and used all his connections to search for the whereabouts of True Lord Xue He.

Eventually, he didn’t hesitate to reverse the very laws of causality, paying a steep price to find Xue He’s location.

“Double-faced Deity’s Manor?” A murderous gleam flashed in Yang Dingtian’s eyes.

Meanwhile, in the villa, the numerous guests had already gathered. Upon hearing that their young master had perished in the Double-faced Deity’s Manor, they clenched their fists, eager for revenge.

As the second-in-command of the villa, “Rain Lord Huatian” approached the heartbroken Yang Dingtian. Bowing slightly, she stepped forward to console him, “Brother Yang, this matter is no small affair. If we act rashly, it will trigger the greatest conflict in the entire Overturning Sea Ancient Region. The Ancient Court will mock us, and once you provoke one person from the Holy Land, many more will come after.”

“Xue He is my only brother. If I don’t avenge this, I will never achieve unity with the Dao!” Yang Dingtian’s words shocked everyone!

They all knew how much Yang Dingtian cherished his younger brother.

But no one had expected that the death of his brother would affect his path to Dao fusion.

This battle was inevitable.

With a flourish of his robe, Yang Dingtian turned and addressed the crowd, “This matter is my personal affair. I don’t want any of you involved. I will make arrangements for you to leave the Overturning Sea Ancient Region shortly. I’m going to Double-faced Deity’s Manor alone. No matter who killed my brother, I will have my revenge!”

“Brother Yang is going for vengeance, and we’re just supposed to leave? How would people look at me afterward? It’s only the Double-faced Deity—I’ve wanted to meet him for a long time. I’ll accompany Brother Yang!”

Rain Lord Huatian, who had long harbored feelings for Yang Dingtian, couldn’t bear to leave him. She stepped forward immediately and said, “Brother Yang, I once said that if you did not accept me, I would follow you forever!”

Yang Dingtian was momentarily moved, but remembering his unresolved hatred, his gaze hardened again.

The rest of the group began to shout, “Count me in!”

In the hall stood hundreds of True Immortals, the weakest of whom had reached the seventh step. Not one of them backed down; all were willing to follow Yang Dingtian to the Double-faced Deity’s Manor for revenge.

“The Overturning Sea Region will face a battle sooner or later. Why not let it be today?”

Someone shouted, and for a moment, everyone was stunned. Then, excitement lit up their faces as they said, “That’s right! Let’s settle this today. We’ll help Brother Yang avenge his brother and wipe out the entire Double-faced Deity’s Manor in one go. After all, this is an internal conflict within the Overturning Sea Region. The Holy Land won’t be able to intervene!”

“If that’s the case, we should prepare ourselves properly…”

In just an hour within Tiantan City, they devised a plan that would alter the fate of the entire Overturning Sea Ancient Region.

In comparison to Xue Yang True Lord’s petty schemes, they were utterly insignificant.

At this moment, the Double-Faced Divine Mansion remained completely unaware of the situation.

Even Guardian Qifeng, who had entered the Ancient Demon Palace, had not anticipated that his actions would trigger a war that would sweep through the entire Overturning Sea Ancient Territory.

Inside the Ancient Demon Palace.

The few who had entered had already scoured the entire palace, searching every corner meticulously.

Yet, they hadn’t found a single thing.

Not even a single Immortal herb or an Immortal artifact.

“How is this possible? The Ancient Demon Palace shouldn’t have been explored yet!” Guardian Yunhai exclaimed in disbelief. “Could it be that someone looted this place before the Double-Faced Divine Mansion was established?”

Guardian Qifeng shook his head and replied, “No, the treasures here were likely taken recently. I can sense the lingering essence of an Immortal herb in the air.”

Indeed, there was still a strong herbal scent within the palace.

If the treasures had been taken millennia ago, the scent would have long dissipated.

The two Guardians simultaneously turned their gaze towards Xue He, the old ancestor.

Two tokens had been obtained, one by Xue Yang True Lord, but he had never entered this place before his death. The other token had been obtained by Xue He.

And he had been here before!

“Don’t look at me like that! We all entered together. How could I have taken the treasures right under your noses?” Xue He felt uneasy under their stares and hurriedly explained.

Guardian Qifeng scoffed, “Xue He, don’t fool yourself into thinking you’re a good person. Back when the Swirling God Sect’s treasure emerged, you killed many of your fellow Divine Mansion disciples for it. Do you think you hid it well?”

Hearing this, Guardian Yunhai said nothing, but stood by and watched the drama unfold.

Everyone knew there were two ways to enter the Ancient Demon Palace.

Entering through the main gate allowed access to the Ancient Demon’s hidden sleeping chambers, something even the craftsmen couldn’t replicate.

However, entering through this path meant they couldn’t reach the hidden chambers.

The one who acquired the first token had a chance to enter, but only if they possessed Ancient Demon blood.

It wasn’t something one could bypass by having a high enough level of life force.

Ancient Demon blood had long disappeared from the world.

Although the Ancient Demon left behind descendants among various races, their bloodlines had diluted to the point of insignificance by now.

Even if someone with such blood existed, they wouldn’t dare reveal themselves.

After all, the Ancient Demon’s entire body was a treasure, and its descendants were no less valuable.

Thus, the possibility of entering through the main gate was nearly zero, especially since Guardian Qifeng had been keeping an eye on Xue He the entire time. Xue He had never gone through the main gate.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have tried using the bloodline of a Divine Beast.

Now, Guardian Qifeng was making things difficult for Xue He, clearly trying to help his mistress vent her frustrations.

It was said that many had died at Xue He’s hands when the Swirling God Sect’s treasure emerged, including several strong figures from the Double-Faced Divine Mansion.

However, Xue He had covered it up well, killing everyone involved and blaming it on the Swirling God Sect.

Guardian Qifeng had close ties with the Swirling God Sect, so naturally, Xue He had made an enemy of him.

Now, it was clear that Guardian Qifeng was looking for trouble, openly trying to ruin him.

Within a single day, Xue He had lost two of his most important subordinates, including Ji Ye True Immortal, whom he valued the most. Then, Qinglin had fallen as well.

To make matters worse, Wutai Dou had died, and along with him, the Divine Beast in the Beast Nest had perished as well.

He had wagered a precious treasure with the Beast Taming Sect, but now the treasure was gone, and he had offended the Beast Taming Sect in the process. A Divine Beast was far more valuable than a precious treasure, and unless he was willing to offer compensation, there was no way to smooth things over.

Yet, their harvest from entering the Ancient Demon Palace was zero.
