Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 408 - A Peacemaker?



Chapter 408 A Peacemaker?

Ding Hao, Jiang Disheng and the others wanted to stop them, but it was too late. Those two monsters who had humiliated the Human Tribe’s Holy Land of Martial Arts in the Snow Province made their escape. Suddenly, a roar sounded in the sky. A thin light curtain emerged. Like a huge cover, it covered all the Mirror Lake, spanning hundreds of li.

The two demon kings were caught off guard. They hit the silver light curtain and fell down with a muffled sound.

“The Demon-killing Cover of Mysterious Frost?!” The Demon King with Magical Eyes became greatly frightened.

The Demon-killing Cover of Mysterious Frost was a well-known imprisonment formation in the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost. It was said to be taught by the God of War of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region according to the legend; it was specially designed for killing demons. It played an incredible restraining role for the skills displayed by most demons. When the disciples in the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost planned to kill demons, they set such an imprisonment formation beforehand and then strangled demons. Almost no demons in the Demon Royal Realm could escape from such strategy. With such a formation, countless demons that had made troubles had been killed. For demons, the Demon-killing Cover of Mysterious Frost was like a death-hastening voodoo. They became frightened once reality dawned on them.

“Haha, you two little beasts dare to make trouble in our Mirror Lake. You have no idea how you will be killed. The inspector has arrived. Do you still want to escape? That’s an idiot’s daydream!” The head master of the Falling Star Sect said, laughing in a funny manner.

The two demon kings fell on the ground and they were seriously injured. Without any hesitation, they wanted to jump in the air to head in another direction. Unfortunately, they hit the ice cover and failed, making their injuries even more serious. They did not struggle any more when they fell on the ground. With their faces flashing, they were trying to work out other ways since they didn’t want to give up.

Ding Hao and the other young men did not take further actions.

The crowd bowed to the inspector in the sky. All saluted, saying, “We’re glad to see the inspector and head masters.”

Zhuo Feifan, the inspector, with a white face and long and black mustache nodded slightly. With his eyes like lightning, he glanced at those young men, showing his expression of satisfaction. “Good! Your performance is good! The rejuvenation of the human tribe in the Snow Province is just around the corner.”

“Thank you for your praise, Mr. Inspector!” Those young men from the various sects were usually very arrogant, but before the man, they dared not put on airs at all, since he represented one of the five polar forces of the human tribe in the Land of Infinity. For the common warriors of the human tribe, he seemed to be almost like a god.

Ding Hao also felt a little bit curious.

“Well, he’s just a little guy in the Ninth-Aperture Martial King Realm, what airs is he putting on?” The Sword Master’s angry voice sounded in Ding Hao’s mind.

The Saber Master added, being unwilling to admit herself outdone, “The Snow Province is too small, for a warrior in the Ninth-Aperture Martial King Realm to dare act like an overlord. Back in the day when I, the saber fairy…”

The two people never forgot to refresh their sense of existence and despise the old monsters of the human tribe of the present time. In Ding Hao’s mind, they showed off again and again. Ding Hao selectively read some of the information, and immediately understood that the inspector’s strength was in the Ninth-Aperture Martial King Realm and so he was the most powerful superior he had ever met, from the time-traveling to the present time. He wondered who was stronger, his cheap teacher Qi Qingshan or that man?

As he was thinking, a great pressure enveloped him. Ding Hao heard the inspector’s voice.

“Are you Ding Hao from the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect?”

“Yes.”

“Well. It’s great. With the strength in the Primordial Grand Master Realm, you can make use of the Beast Transform skill and control the bestiality by displaying the martial technique of the human tribe; you are really talented. During these days, your name has been mentioned many times, and it appears that you will have a position in the future as the Overlord of Martial Arts in the Snow Province.” There was some slight praise in the inspector’s tone.

“Thank you for your appreciation, sir.”

“However, I observed your combat performance just now. You were displaying the inscriptions and the way of the sword and you have also practiced both the mysterious aura of ice and flames. With two types of abilities, you have extraordinary power, but you’re not more specialized than others. Meanwhile the Beast Transform skill is carried out with external help and is not original, exercised and developed by oneself. The Tao of warriors lies in tapping one’s own secrets and strength and persisting in a skill. People’s energy is always limited; one should not chew too much. That is the best way of martial arts. Your way of cultivation is a little deviated. In this point, you should learn more from Mu Tianyang.”

The inspector Zhuo Feifan spoke gently.

The people around him all changed their faces and reacted differently. Zhuo Feifan praised Ding Hao first and then he belittled him. He seemed fair, but in fact he totally denied Ding Hao’s path of martial arts. People in the Snow Province knew that there was a competition agreement in the Frozen Peak between Ding Hao and Mu Tianyang. However, Zhuo Feifan wanted Ding Hao to learn from Mu Tianyang. It clearly meant that Ding Hao was far behind Mu Tianyang and obviously he stood with the latter.

The head masters of nine sects reacted differently.

The head master of the Tranquility Academy was calm and peaceful with a smile; other sects standing with the Tranquility Academy alliance felt relaxed. Li Jianyi, the head master of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect looked emotionless, but the worried expression flashed deep in his eyes. Zhuo Feifan represented the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost. Having made such a judgment, the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect would be in a disadvantageous position in the coming Sect Level Conference.

“Understood,” Ding Hao said and nodded without any expression.

Ding Hao had ended his Beast Transform technique. He looked very weak, trembling slightly. It was because of his excessive Qi consumption or his disappointment about the inspector’s comments.

“I, as the inspector, have known the resentment between you and Mu Tianyang. You have made a competition appointment at the Frozen Peak. Both of you are young talents of the human tribe in the Snow Province. For any of you to be killed would be a great loss to the human tribe, so I would like to make a favor at little cost to end the resentment between you, is that OK?” Zhuo Feifan, the inspector, presented such a proposal unexpectedly.

Ding Hao frowned a little bit and said nothing.

Ding Hao knew that he had no final say in the matter.

Mu Tianyang, standing aside, was calm and peaceful without saying anything, as if he had heard nothing.

Zhuo Feifan the inspector said, laughing. “Since both of you remained silent, it means that you’ve agreed with my suggestion. So, Ding Hao, you made a mistake first; you’d better apologize to Tianyang. The dead cannot brought to life, so you should compensate to make up for the loss of Tianyang’s younger brother, OK?”

Ding Hao felt extremely unhappy. He was so angry, but he said, smiling, “How does the inspector suggest that I should make such compensation?”

“The loss of his younger brother was a great blow to Tianyang; you may give your blood essence of the Baleful Devil White Ape to Mu Tianyang on one hand, and on the other hand… how about you make a master-and-servant agreement with Mu Tianyang and follow him as a servant for three years? That’s will mark the end of your resentment,” Zhuo Feifan, the inspector, said seriously.

Hearing such words, Ding Hao felt very angry.
