Rules of Heaven - C64
Hearing his question, Suo Bing replied, “Young Master did not ask me to fight back.”
“Cough cough.” Ding Hong coughed dryly and said, “Then from today onwards, if anyone dares to touch you in the future, you will retaliate. You can do that right?” Ding Hong really did not know what to say.
Su Bing nodded.
After thinking for a moment, he realized that Bai Li had told him that she had hidden some forbidden technique. He didn’t know if it was true or false. Therefore, Ding Hong still decided to ask, “Bai Li said that you have a forbidden technique hidden within. After you were healed by Tianmu, did you start cultivating it?”
Without stopping, Suo Bing immediately replied, “Forbidden Spell, Tactics of the Enchantment. I’ve reached the third level. There’s a total of nine levels.”
Desire? When Ding Hong heard this name, he could feel that there was something special about this technique, but he didn’t want to ask about it. He knew in his heart that there was a high chance that Suo Bing was cultivating this forbidden art for revenge.
“Sigh, is it dangerous for you to cultivate there?” Ding Hong sighed.
Suo Bing was obviously stunned for a moment, then said in a low voice, “No.”
No danger? How is this possible? If I were to say that there is no danger, I am afraid that the change that happens after I cultivate is inevitable!] However, there was no need for Ding Hong to reveal it. Suddenly, he thought of the problem with the Imperial Sword Technique. He asked, “Then can you fly?”
Suo Bing thought for a moment and said, “Without the Imperial Sword Technique, I wouldn’t.”
No Imperial Sword Technique?
When Ding Hong heard this, he was amused. He smiled and said, “I naturally have the Imperial Sword Technique.”
“Young master, you do? Isn’t it true that Young Master doesn’t know how to control the sword? ” Suo Bing frowned.
“Hah.” Ding Hong was not able to explain the whole thing, so he could only casually say, “It’s true that I can’t use the Imperial Sword Technique, but I didn’t say that I don’t have any Imperial Sword Techniques, right?” After thinking for a moment, he said, “I will write it down for you to cultivate later.”
When Ji Yuanmeng heard that they were talking about first-rate Dao arts, she immediately lost interest and looked out of the window.
“The meat is here …” “Eh, where is he?” At this moment, the waiter and the shopkeeper came out. Both of them had a plate of beef stew in their hands, but as soon as they came out, they didn’t see anyone.
Seeing the suspicion in their eyes, Ding Hong said, “They’ve left.”
The shopkeeper was a little apprehensive. He placed the beef stew on the table beside him and came to Ding Hong’s side. He asked doubtfully, “Does young master know why they left?”
“There seems to be some urgent military matters to be taken care of, right?” Ding Hong lied.
“Phew —” The storekeeper let out a long breath, “Fortunately we’re gone, or else we’ll lose another fortune. “Sigh …”
“Could it be that every time, they would eat an overlord’s meal?” Ding Hongqi said.
“Isn’t that so!” The shopkeeper sighed, he suddenly felt that his voice was too loud, he carefully looked at the street outside, and said: “Just now the leader was the field officer general, Zhang Tian. Normally, as a high-ranking officer who stayed behind to guard the Yao Valley Pass, he didn’t have much to do, so he just drank and ate. Last time, at a tavern across the street, because they were not given any wine to drink, they had hacked the tavern owner to death on the spot! This is why we don’t dare to resist. ”
“Why isn’t anyone paying attention to such a big matter?” Ji Yuanmeng’s interest was piqued and she turned to ask.
“Who cares?” Who cares? This was a remote place, and there have been a lot of wars recently. Basically, the army already went to war, and this Zhang Tian is already the biggest military officer, who can control him? ”
“Depart?” Ding Hongqi said, “Isn’t the pass always guarded? “Why would they let the army go to war?”
The latter part of the sentence seemed to be more important than the previous part. The shopkeeper listened to his question and hesitated for a moment. He then hurriedly went to the entrance to look around and returned to their table. He supported the bench he kicked down and sat down, whispering: “Rumor has it that demon soldiers have appeared near the Yao Valley Pass! The demons were all wearing armor, and each one of them was as powerful as an ox. Great General Wang Yanzhuo seemed to have received some order, and has sent two hundred thousand soldiers out of the city. ”
Specters wearing armor? How could there be such a thing?
Ding Hong and Ji Yuanmeng looked at each other, and even the expressionless Suo Bing frowned.
The shopkeeper seemed to have thought of something and added, “Also, not long ago, Princess Jiu Meng’s escort party also left from here. I’m afraid General Wang’s mission was to escort this princess out!”
Delivery team! Hearing this, Ding Hong’s mind flashed. According to what Bai Li said, the wedding procession was for military matters. And when they passed by, they happened to stumble into such a situation. This naturally had nothing to do with it.
“Then, will there be any danger if we go to Bashu now?” Ji Yuanmeng suddenly asked.
The shopkeeper pondered for a moment before replying, “I’m not sure about that. However, it’s said that these demons only operated in the northern part of the Yao Mountain Pass for a generation. I haven’t heard anything about them from the southwest.”
Hearing his words, Ding Hong couldn’t help but mumble to himself. He then said to the shopkeeper, “Tell me more of these things.”
The storekeeper laughed, “What are you talking about?” Normally, he wouldn’t be able to find anyone to talk to here for a long time, but now, he felt even more bored. It’s not easy to have someone to talk to today. ” He stood up and said, “Since they have left, I should have cleaned up the meat a bit. It wouldn’t have been good if it was bad.”
Ding Hong smiled. “Of course.”
The storekeeper and the trembling waiter at the side went to clean up the meat. Ji Yuanmeng looked at the shopkeeper’s figure and said to Ding Hong, “Do you think we should still go to Ba Shu? It sounds so dangerous, how about … Why don’t we go? ”
Ding Hong rolled his eyes at her and said, “If you didn’t go, you would have escaped the marriage. I can’t bear the responsibility of assisting you in escaping the marriage.”
Ji Yuanmeng gave a “hmph” and said, “If I had run away from the marriage, I would have found someone who would have known what I looked like! At all times, you are always wearing a mask.
Hearing these words, Ding Hong’s face twitched, but he remained silent for a long time. Suo Bing seemed to have sensed something and looked at Ding Hong. Ji Yuanmeng noticed his expression and knew that she had hit the mark. She could not help but feel a little awkward.
Ding Hong waved his hand and said, “Let’s go upstairs to rest after eating. I’m going out for a walk.” With that, he stood up and walked out.
A light flashed across Suo Bing’s eyes. Who knew what she was thinking?
After Ding Hong left the inn, he turned and walked a few streets. Then, he jumped onto the roof of the pavilion, took out his Heavenly Jade Pendant, and blew on it. The winter snow was too mournful, and even the formless flute music was stained with a lonely color.
Suddenly, a figure flashed. It was Suo Bing. With the fur cloak in her hand, she arrived beside Ding Hong and threw the cloak over him. Ding Hong’s hand stopped, and the flute melody also stopped.
He suddenly raised his hand and took off the mask.
“Suo Bing, do you think I’m ugly like this?” He turned and looked at Suo Bing.
The left side of his face was still exuding a heroic aura, while the right side was filled with burning flesh.
Suo Bing didn’t answer.
“Hey, what does it matter if you’re ugly?” Ding Hong suddenly stood up, shaking off the snow that was falling from his body and putting on his new mask.
“I can understand the hatred in your heart. Because I also have the same hatred, that’s why I saved you that day.”
“However, I hope that you won’t be blinded by hatred. Don’t think about hatred all at once.”
“I am not a saint, and sometimes I can’t even control myself. I am unable to persuade you with anything, so I can only say these words to calm your heart down a little. ”
“Let’s go back. We’ll continue tomorrow and head to Ba Shu.”
Ding Hong jumped down from the pavilion and walked back to the inn. Suo Bing did not move. She stood in the snow for a long time. She lifted her right hand and opened her clenched palm, looking at the chain made of Feng Zhaowu’s ashes.
She didn’t look at the bone bracelet with her eyes closed, but she could feel it deeply. She placed the bracelet on her chest, sparkling tears flowing from her eyes.
However, just as the tears fell down his face, they had already turned into a string of icicles.
Putting aside the fact that Ding Hong and the others had exhausted themselves in their journey, after Bai Li left them, he headed north, arriving at the coldest place in the Arctic Ocean. Not to mention winter, even summer was covered in ice and snow.
This place was known as the Profound Mirror Ice Region.
Bai Li was right here. He was standing on a very, very small tower. The tower was tall because it was so tall that one could not see the end of it at all. It was extremely small because the tower was only thirty feet tall. Even the space that could accommodate a person was less than ten feet in radius.
At this moment, Bai Li was standing at the very top, holding the banner in his hand.
Through the sea of clouds, it was possible to see the world. Even Chao Yang City seemed to be able to see a little bit of it.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed as an illusory image appeared in the air beside Bai Li. “Heavenly Master, I request for an audience with Dark Mystery.”
“Hmm?” A cold glint of light flickered in Bai Li’s eyes, it seemed to be even heavier than the surrounding Chilling Qi. The figure seemed to be slightly afraid, and couldn’t help but take a step back.
“Let him wait.” Bai Li said coldly.
The mysterious man seemed to be relieved and hurriedly replied, “I know.” He then left in a hurry.
“The Dark Xuan has finally arrived.” Li Tower looked down.
He saw that at the bottom of the tower, there was a circular city. But the houses were not built of limestone or wood, but of ice. However, the ice was dark blue in color and there was a faint light leaking out. He did not know what material it was made of.
And exactly because there was a faint light, the entire city felt as if it was enveloped in a profound light.
This tower was at the very center of the city.
After a while, Bai Li suddenly walked out of the tower and started descending one step at a time, as if he was a celestial being.
Instead of entering the city, he walked into the distance. Arriving at a vast expanse of ice, he lightly said, “Dark Profound.”
The blizzard was heavy, and the Duo Ling snowflakes seemed to have become a killing weapon. Every time they were blown by the wind, they would turn into a silver sword. Although Bai Li’s voice was soft, it pierced through the cold wind and the snow, and traveled far, far away.
The dark profound aura slowly approached from afar as it said with a smile, “Brother Bai is indeed here.”
When he was a hundred feet in front of Bai Li, he waved his hand, and ten large blocks of ice that did not have a specific shape appeared around him. Each piece of ice contained a person.
“Our deal is very simple. Brother Bai, you just need to recall the souls of these ten people and I will be able to tell you the news of the First and Sixth Peace.”
Bai Li glanced at the ten contenders as he coldly stated, “I’m afraid that these ten contenders are filled with overwhelming malice.”
Dark Xuan didn’t deny it and smiled. “Brother Bai, as the son of a tribulation, your cultivation has reached the ten-style god level. At that time, wouldn’t killing these ten people be as easy as flipping his palm?”
Bai Li looked at him and laughed coldly, “I’m afraid that after these ten people are revived, you’ll have to kill them first, right?”
“Brother Bai, just one thing.” summon, or not? ”
“The things you gave me were not enough.” He turned and prepared to leave.
Dark Mystery’s face changed as he shouted angrily, “Don’t pretend to be so indifferent! Even if that old fogey can cultivate you to a twelve-style god, then you will be controlled by him and become a god who can control you! And the information I have given you, can completely get you out of your control! ”
When Bai Li heard his shout, he suddenly stopped. The Dark Mystery was overjoyed. Just as he was about to speak, Bai Li spoke first, “Even if we let him control us, what does it matter?”
The dark profound aura was startled by his words and its face darkened. Just as he was about to disappear from sight, he slowly said, “I can make you directly become a eleven style god, but only after you save these ten people!”
Bai Li had already walked into the snowstorm, and his silhouette could no longer be seen. Suddenly, his voice came from afar.
“Leave the people here.”
Mystic One heaved a sigh of relief. Her face darkened again as she coldly snorted in her heart. With a wave of her hand, she turned around and left as well. The remaining ten ice cubes stood there.
Bai Li didn’t walk far. Instead, he stood in the distance. He was still holding a long flag in his hand. However, this long flag was made up of two colors, black and white.
Looking at the banner in his hand, Bai Li fell into deep thought.
The wind was cold and the sky was overcast.
Bai Li suddenly raised the long flag.
Rumble …
Loud thunder rumbled in the sky. Dark clouds began to swirl, forming a huge vortex. Faintly, two enormous shadows slowly rotated in the dark clouds.
Suddenly, that shadow stuck its head out from the dark clouds! The person on the left was dressed entirely in black and wore a tall hat. On the top of the hat were the words “Catching You”. His right hand held the “Soul-Chaser” chain while his left held a black mourning staff. The one on the right was dressed entirely in white and wore a tall hat, but there were no words on his hat. Instead, he held a red wood token in his left hand, which said “You’re here” as the rumors said, and he also held a mourning stick in his right hand, but it was white.
It was actually the Black and White Impermanence!
Black Impermanence’s face was gloomy as he shouted, “Mortal, how dare you open the Pangu Banner and summon back the Underworld Yin Spirit!”
The banner in Bai Li’s hand was actually the Pangu Banner! Seeing them, Bai Li showed no fear on his face. He sneered, “What’s wrong? Even the Ghost Kings of the Underworld are unable to control the Underworld, do you really think you can control the Mortal Realm!? ”
White Impermanence smiled sinisterly. “Oh, little kid, you think you can change the soul on the Life and Death Board without permission after obtaining the Pangu Banner? You’re still too early.” As he spoke, he raised the medallion and slammed it towards Bai Li.
They were huge to begin with, so they were probably more than a thousand feet tall. By using this to calculate, White Impermanence’s’ life ‘was already around seventy to eighty feet long. Once it was smashed down, even a pavilion would be smashed into pieces!
Seeing this, Bai Li waved the Pangu Banner in his hand and shouted, “Vermillion Bird!”
