“Earlier on, when Wang Lun stabbed in your chest, he was unable to pierce your skin. I didn’t see you wearing any black iron or silk treasure clothes either.” That female pirate then said indifferently, “During your battle against Tang Li and Qin Shaobai, you were also impervious to blades and weapons. Thus, people were saying that you were wearing the legendary Deep Sea Mystic Clothes. In the whole world, there might only be one piece of Deep Sea Mystic Clothes. Hence, if you aren’t Yang Dingtian, then who are you?”
Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and felt that this was a flaw as he had expected.
“Who exactly are you? Why are you so clear about Yang Dingtian’s matters?” Yang Dingtian said coldly.
That woman giggled delicately and lifted her head. “Take a good look. Don’t you find my face familiar?”
It was very familiar, but Yang Dingtian couldn’t recall.
“You and Ximen Ningning traversed across our Qin Clan’s territory and when you went past the abyss at the side of the town…” That female pirate gave a reminder.
“You are Qin Hongmian?” Yang Dingtian suddenly said.
“You finally remembered. You have only seen Ximen Ningning impersonating me and not my true self before, that’s why you couldn’t recall.” That female pirate said.
Yang Dingtian asked with a puzzled tone,” You are a branch family of the Qin Clan, a young lady of the Red Stone Castle. Why would you be reduced to impersonating a pirate?”
“Isn’t it all because of you.” Qin Hongmian sneered and said, “After Qin Shaobai was completely destroyed by you, that Qin Clan’s tyrant took out his anger on countless people, and I was one of those people. But I already have a considerably better outcome. Qin Shaobai’s mother, Yang Shishi, has already been chased out to busk. She was just short of being asked to become a prostitute.”
Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but feel shocked in his heart. This Qin Clan Head was actually so ruthless and vicious, even towards his wife.
“Since you have already spoken, you might say everything.” Yang Dingtian asked, “Why are you pretending to be the Black Blood Cavalry and committing crimes? What happened to Black Blood Castle?”
“Do you still not know?” Qin Hongmian glanced at Yang Dingtian and said, “Ximen Lie’s Black Blood Cavalry had already abandoned the Black Blood Castle, and they have been drifting the Northwest Continent for more than half a year. Otherwise, with a distance of a few thousand miles in between, who would believe it if we are to impersonate the Black Blood Cavalry?”
“What?!” Yang Dingtian was alarmed as he said, “After my battle with Qin Shaobai, wasn’t Black Blood Castle still holding up?”
“It was still holding up back then, but when the soldiers from Qin Clan constantly poured in, they had surrounded the Black Blood Castle without allowing any escape, both sides were in a deadlock for half a month. Furthermore, the parasitic poison on Madam Ximen’s body had acted up. Ximen Ju went to Black Blood Castle to negotiate with Ximen Lie. They were willing to hand over the antidote for Madam Ximen’s poison, but in exchange, Ximen Lie would have to unconditionally lead the Black Blood Cavalry and back out from Black Blood Castle.” Qin Hongmian carried on. “To save Madam Ximen’s life, and because the Black Blood Castle was actually in desperate straits, Ximen Lie had agreed. From that day on, they withdrew from Black Blood Castle and drifted in the Northwest Continent and had never been able to settle down even after half a year. Countless influential forces had evicted them since then…”
“Ahh…” Before listening to everything, Yang Dingtian was roaring with rage and had smashed the table into dust.
When recalling about Madam Ximen and Ximen Lie living a life of refugees with the Black Blood Cavalry, Yang Dingtian felt as though his heart was sliced up by a blade.
Qin Hongmian giggled and said, “Yang Dingtian, Black Blood Castle is lost. Right now, none of you even have a place to settle down.”
Yang Dingtian quickly calmed calm and sneered. “It doesn’t matter. When I take back Cloud Heaven City, Black Blood Castle will belong to me as well.”
“Take back Cloud Heaven City with less than eight months? Are you dreaming? Do you know how formidable Ximen Ju is?” Qin Hongmian laughed grimly.
Yang Dingtian didn’t bother about her and continued to ask, “What happened with Madam Ximen getting inflicted with parasitic poison? When did that happen?”
“It is all because of that bastard Qin Shaobai who was yearning for Madam Ximen. Not long after he arrived at Cloud Heaven City, he had secretly inflicted the parasitic poison on Madam Ximen. His original plan was to kill you and allowed Madam Ximen’s parasitic poison to take effect before he took charge to seize her.” Qin Hongmian laughed sarcastically and said, “Bu who would have expected that his dreams wouldn’t be fulfilled, and he had to be beaten up into a cripple by you.”
Yang Dingtian had no interest in an enemy who was already finished. He interrupted and asked, “Who is the pirate leader that is impersonating me on Black Blood Island?”
“Qin Clan’s illegitimate son, Qin Huaiju!” Qin Hongmian said, “He is a lamentable and despicable person.”
“How is his cultivation?” Yang Dingtian asked.
“One star Martial Mystic, you are not a match for him.” Qin Hongmian laughed grimly and said, “He has already impersonated you and killed almost a thousand people. He had seized and ravaged hundreds of innocent ladies. Right now, you are notorious for your misdeeds.”
A one star Martial Mystic expert was six classes higher than Yang Dingtian. Furthermore, in this battle, which Yang Dingtian had to surpass classes, he couldn’t use his thunder attribute mystic skill. Even though there were some difficulties, Yang Dingtian was still filled with confidence that he could defeat Qin Huaiju.
Moreover, this bastard must be eliminated; otherwise, he would continue the impersonation and harm plenty of people.
“You are not the one to determine if I am a match for him. After I kill him, you will go along and accompany him.” Yang Dingtian said indifferently and struck her with a palm strike, which immediately knocked her out.
At this same moment, there were hurried footsteps that echoed from outside. Ling Wu said, “Big Brother Yan, we found a few captives on the pirates’ ship, and they said they were from the Cloud Heaven City’s Black Blood Castle. They even said that the pirates were impersonating the Black Blood Castle and committing crimes.”
Yang Dingtian instantly shivered and said, “Bring them over here.”
He took a deep breath. If they were truly members of the Black Blood Castle, didn’t that mean that Madam Ximen and Big Brother Ximen Lie were nearby?
Even if they were ordinary soldiers of the Black Blood Cavalry, Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but view them as brothers.
*******************
Soon enough, four of the Black Blood Cavalry brothers were brought over, and before Yang Dingtian had to give his instruction, Ling Wu went out of the cabin and closed the door.
These four Black Blood Cavalry brothers were all with injuries, and those pirates obviously tortured them.
They should be the brothers from the Black Blood Cavalry. Although Yang Dingtian couldn’t remember their faces, the Black Blood Cavalry members all had a special ensign, and there were all like soldiers and not like normal martial artists.
While suppressing his urge to hug them, Yang Dingtian asked, “How many of you are here? What are you doing in this sea region?”
The Black Blood Cavalry brothers stepped forward and bowed. “The Black Blood Cavalry thanks this Hero for saving our life. We have a total of over twenty brothers here, and we are here for two tasks. Firstly, it was because we heard pirates were impersonating our Black Blood Cavalry and committing crimes everywhere. Commander Ximen sent us here to scout. Secondly, there were rumors that the Hidden Sect disciple, Young Lord Nameless, is here to cultivate at West Imminent Island. Hence, Madam specially sent us here to search and invite Young Lord Nameless to help us serve justice at Cloud Heaven City.”
Yang Dingtian’s heart jumped as he asked, “What justice?”
That Black Blood Cavalry brother’s face revealed a trace of anger as he said, “Ximen Ju, Yang Yan, and the other bastards slandered our Young Lord Yang Dingtian, saying he was a spy from the Evil Dao. Hence, they are convoking for a meeting in the Heaven Dao Union and are preparing to dismiss Young Lord Yang Dingtian’s rights to participate in the City Lord Martial Contest. They even want to request for the Heaven Dao Union to put out a kill warrant for Young Lord Yang Dingtian in the world.”
Instantly, Yang Dingtian’s heart was bursting with rage.
This group of bastards was truly trying to exterminate him. It seemed like he must make this trip to Cloud Heaven City no matter what.
“Hero Yan, I heard that your ship came from the West Imminent Island’s direction. Did you see or perhaps heard of Young Lord Nameless’ whereabouts?” The Black Blood Cavalry brother asked.
“I heard that Nameless left West Imminent Island a long time ago.” Yang Dingtian then said, “But if he truly is a successor of the Hidden Sect, he will surely help you serve justice.”
Immediately after, Yang Dingtian instinctively wanted to ask how were Madam Ximen and Ximen Lie doing? He was nearly going to ask but quickly held back as Yan Nantian wouldn’t know them, how would he possibly ask about them?
“Many thanks for Hero Yan’s kind words.” The Black Blood Cavalry brother said, “We still have important tasks to carry out. Can we kindly ask for Hero Yan to spare a small boat for us? We still have over a dozen brothers that are captured and imprisoned on Black Blood Island while their lives are in danger. We have to use our fastest speed to reach the Northwest Continent to gather our nearby brothers and head for Black Blood Island to rescue our brothers.”
“How many brothers do you have nearby?” Yang Dingtian asked.
“There are more than a hundred.” The Black Blood Cavalry brother said, “There is a group on the sea, which is around 30. There is another group on land which has around a hundred.”
“That is good.” Yang Dingtian said, “I am also preparing to eradicate that fake Yang Dingtian bastard on Black Blood Island. You will first follow me to Inferno Island, and I will provide you a fast ship. You will use your fastest speed and head to the continent and gather all the brothers. In at most two to three days, we will reach the Black Blood Island and wipe out all those bastards and rescue your brothers.”
“We are truly grateful.” That Black Blood Cavalry brother spoke with a gratified tone, “Hero Yan is truly heroic and courageous. It is a pity that our Commander isn’t around, and so is our Young Lord Yang Dingtian. Otherwise, you will definitely become good friends.”
At this moment, Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but ask, “There is something I don’t know if I should ask.”
“Please ask.” The Black Blood Cavalry brother said.
“You have to drift about in the world because of Yang Dingtian and are forced to live like refugees. Do you regret it?” Yang Dingtian asked.
“No regrets. How can we possibly regret it?” That Black Blood Cavalry brother’s instantly glowed with the radiance of conviction while he spoke passionately, “Our Young Lord Yang Dingtian is the number-one prodigy in the world. We are now in the darkness before nirvana. Soon enough, Young Lord Yang Dingtian will lead us to our way back to Cloud Heaven City and take back the things that belong to us.”
Once these words were out, Yang Dingtian’s eyes instantly felt the heat, and he was overwhelmed with emotions.
He might not have seen these brothers before, but they firmly believed in him and was willing to spill blood for him.
Yang Dingtian turned around and didn’t allow them to see his emotional expression and said, “All of you should go rest for a while. When we arrive at Inferno Island, you will immediately depart for the continent.”
“Many thanks, Hero Yan.”
