Chapter 225: Scheming For The Map, Making Use of Ye Feng!
Yang Dingtian was overjoyed at the turn of events. He was still worried about not being able to read the words on the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map. Now, there was unexpectedly a girl from the Foxman Race that had bumped into his hand.
No wonder there was a trace of charming perfume when this girl just came in. The enticement of the Foxman Race was that they were born with a charming fragrance.
This was also the first time Yang Dingtian had met someone from a genuine demi-human race. The demi-human race would never leave their own nation regardless of what race they were from, let alone stepping into human society. So, why would this girl from the Foxman Race appear here?
It was at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps could be heard coming from the outside. Furthermore, there were sounds of swords colliding into each other.
“It’s here. I can smell the fragrance.”
“It’s here!”
“Capture her…”
It was very clear that she had escaped here, and the group of people outside was trying to capture her.
The girl from the Foxman Race immediately turned frightened when she heard those voices. She struggled and wanted to make her escape.
“Big brother, please release me. I will definitely repay you.” The girl from the Foxman Race spoke out delicately. Immediately, her beautiful eyes suck into an extremely enchanting and gentle radiance. It instantly wanted to attract the human soul.
Yang Dingtian was swayed by this seductive gaze. His palm couldn’t help but loosen slightly. Immediately, the girl struggled free rapidly and escaped.
This girl from the Foxman Race was born with the ability to bewitch others. Unexpectedly, this girl was able to trick Yang Dingtian at such a young age. It was unknown how outstanding this bewitching technique would be once she grew up.
Yang Dingtian instantly overtook her before the girl from the Foxman Race had even managed to escape faraway. Subsequently, he captured her using his hand again.
The girl from the Foxman Race struggled with all her strength and wanted to bite onto Yang Dingtian. Ultimately, all her means were of no use.
“Bang…” At this moment, Yang Dingtian’s room was rammed open immediately. White Cloud City Young Lord, Ye Feng, brought along a group of people and charged-in while carrying a torch.
“Commander Shen, the person in your hand was my escaped slave. Why would it appear in your room?” Ye Feng spoke coldly.
Yang Dingtian smiled coldly, “She escaped here herself.”
“Oh, is it?” Ye Feng smiled coldly, “Why didn’t she escape to the other rooms but escaped to your room?”
Yang Dingtian rebuked, “You will have to ask her yourself.”
Ye Feng thought over it for a moment. Originally, he wanted to use this opportunity to create trouble with Yang Dingtian. Ultimately, he discovered that the reasoning was not adequate. He glared at him for a moment before waving his hand. Murong Shi, who was at his side, went forward and captured the girl from the Foxman Race from Yang Dingtian’s hand as if he were capturing a little chick.
“This big brother, quickly save me, quickly save me.” This girl from the Foxman Race cried out towards Yang Dingtian, “This bad person wishes to humiliate me. That’s why I had escaped. Quickly save me, quickly save me…”
When the words were spoken, Yang Dingtian’s complexion changed immediately.
This bastard Ye Feng. The girl from the Foxman Race before him was beyond pretty, but she would at best not exceed 11 or 12 years old. Unexpectedly, he wanted to do those brutal things to her.
“Young Lord Ye, isn’t it inappropriate for you to do this?” Yang Dingtian commented coldly, “Among the ten strict restrictions in Heaven Dao Union, there was a rule stating that all Heaven Dao Union members are not to have any associations with any demi-human race. The association includes making friends, slaughtering, capturing them, etc. You do realize that in the Heaven Dao Union, the taboo of demi-human race was second after the Evil Dao, right?”
Ye Feng’s complexion changed slightly. Subsequently, he smiled coldly, “Shen Lang, I have a better understanding of the strict restrictions from Heaven Dao Union than you. However, I can only give you a piece of advice. It’s better not to know of some things, and it’s even better if you ignore them. Otherwise, you will never know how you die.”
Subsequently, Ye Feng gave Murong Shi a meaningful glance. The gaze was filled with unwillingness and merciless.
Murong Shi nodded his head. He carried the girl from the Foxman Race and walked out. Immediately, he used his other hand and took out the sword on his waist.
He wanted to kill someone, wanted to kill this girl from the Foxman Race.
“Why bother going out to kill. You can do it here. Kill it before Commander Shen. Burn it after you have killed it.” Ye Feng commented coldly. Subsequently, he glanced at Yang Dingtian, “Commander Shen, there’s no demi-human race here. You must have been mistaken.”
Murong Shi pressed the girl from the Foxman Race down, causing her to kneel on the ground. After which, he lifted his sword and was about to slash down.
Indeed, they were trying to destroy the evidence of their crimes before Yang Dingtian in a grandiose manner. His reasoning told Yang Dingtian that he shouldn’t interfere with this matter even though this girl would be able to teach him the Foxman Race language and was very useful to him. However, the circumstance before him was too dangerous. His life would be in danger if he interfered without any considerations.
On the contrary, the girl from the Foxman Race had quietened down. She widened her eyes and glanced at Yang Dingtian. Subsequently, she shut her eyes and awaited her death.
“Whoosh…” Murong Shi slashed down his sword suddenly.
“Wait…” Yang Dingtian took out his sword in a lightning-fast speed and blocked off Murong Shi’s sword.
He was truly unable to witness a beautiful young life disappear in front of him just like that. At best, she would only be 11 to 12 years old. If she were to die like this, Yang Dingtian would never be able to forgive himself if he couldn’t do anything to save her.
“Young Lord Ye, let her go.” Yang Dingtian commented nonchalantly.
“No way!” Ye Feng smiled coldly.
Yang Dingtian struggled and hesitated for a good while before gnawing, “I will use the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art to do an exchange with you. Aren’t you determined to obtain this 8th-grade mystic skill scroll?”
The moment he spoke these words, Ye Feng’s complexion changed. His gaze went through huge changes.
It was very clear that Yang Dingtian’s suggestion had caused him to be extremely affected. Ye Feng truly yearned for this mystic skill scroll.
However, after lots of struggle and hesitation, Ye Feng still shook his head. Instead, he looked at Yang Dingtian and revealed an eccentric smile.
“Shen Lang, it is not impossible if you want this Foxman Race’s little hussy unless you agree to a request of mine.” Ye Feng smiled.
Yang Dingtian’s heart was moved as he replied, “Elaborate on it.”
Ye Feng continued, “As everyone knows, there would be a martial arts competition for every big banquet in the Northwest Qin City. For the martial arts competition, both side’s martial arts level mustn’t be too high or too low. Very soon, I will become Qin City’s son-in-law. To liven things up for my father-in-law, I will be participating in this martial arts competition personally to show my filial heart to him. However, it is really hard to select my opponent for this martial art competition. It isn’t good if the person’s status is too high because mishaps would inevitably happen during the competition. It is extremely inappropriate if a person of nobility dies at the banquet. However, it is even worse if the person’s status is too low. It would make the competition appear to be of low class. Therefore, no matter how I choose, I can’t find an appropriate opponent.”
Subsequently, Ye Feng looked at Yang Dingtian and smiled, “And Commander Shen just so happens to suit being my martial arts competition opponent. If your position was placed highly, you could be said to be Madam Qin’s lover. Therefore, the status was sufficient. However, this identity couldn’t be exposed to others. Your actual identity was just a lone martial warrior. No one would be bothered by it even if you had died. Thus, you’re the best option to be the blood sacrifice of being my opponent in the martial arts competition.”
“How is it?” Ye Feng smiled, “So long as you are willing to be my opponent for the martial arts competition during the banquet, I’m willing to give this girl from the Foxman Race to you. How about that?”
Yang Dingtian narrowed his gaze immediately!
Someone was trying to kill him! However, it was definitely not this Ye Feng before him. Sure, he hated Yang Dingtian to the bone and was eager to kill Yang Dingtian off. However, he definitely didn’t have the intention to place Yang Dingtian down a dead end. Besides, he had even rejected the choice when Yang Dingtian was willing to hand over the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. This could only prove one thing. Someone had offered a price even higher than the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art in exchange for his life.
This person could either be West Prefecture City Lord or Yan Bieqin. This duo definitely had the motive and reasons to put Yang Dingtian to his death. Furthermore, only these two people had the ability to offer something higher than the 8th-grade Devil Flame Saber Art.
West Prefecture City Lord, Ye Wuzheng, had turned a blind eye to Qin Mengli’s unrestrained private life. He didn’t wish to be bothered by it and had no ability to. But if Qin Mengli had really fallen in love with another man and wanted to be together with that man forever, that would be a fatal threat to Ye Wuzheng.
As for Yan Bieqin, Yang Dingtian had no idea who this charismatic man was and why he was determined to obtain Qin Mengli. However, it was very obvious that it wasn’t because of love, and there was definitely an ulterior motive.
“How is it? Is it so hard to make a choice?” Ye Feng smiled coldly.
Immediately, Yang Dingtian sunk into a struggle.
“Don’t agree with it.” All of a sudden, Su Mei’s voice resonated over from a distant location.
The delicate and charming Su Mei walked over hurriedly. She pulled Yang Dingtian to a corner and whispered, “Don’t agree to it. They want your life.”
Yang Dingtian nodded his head, “I know. I will not need to meddle with this as long as you are willing to save this Foxman Race girl.”
Su Mei shook her head, “No. We wouldn’t be able to. The demi-human race is the Heaven Dao Union taboo. Did you see those several big chariots from the White Cloud City that were completely sealed off? All Foxman Race slaves were packed inside. They were offered as a tribute to Lord Qin and Young Lord Qin by Ye Wucheng. Therefore, Madan Qin couldn’t meddle with this and could only take it as she didn’t see it. It was because this Ye Feng’s evil nature had relapsed and wanted to get a Foxman Race girl to serve him. Otherwise, no one would know of this matter all the way to them being locked up in Qin City’s secret chamber.”
Yang Dingtian glared at Su Mei, “So, you mean to say I can only helplessly watch this Foxman Race girl get killed and burnt away?”
“That’s right.” Su Mei commented, “This is also Madam’s order.”
Yang Dingtian shook his head, “No way. I can’t do that. I’m unable to witness a beautiful young life disappear before me helplessly. I’m not so heartless. I have been to the East Parting Grassland. I’m filled with affection towards the scenery and life there.”
When Yang Dingtian spoke these words, Su Mei was startled immediately.
East Parting Grassland was the demi-human race’s habitat. It could also be counted as a prohibited area to the people in this world, and there were very few people who had been there.
Of course, Yang Dingtian had never been there before. He was just hit upon by an idea. Thus, he had added this sentence to it. Subsequently, a plan was developed within his heart instinctively, a plan to obtain the other half of Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame map. Furthermore, adding this sentence would make his plan seem exceptionally important.
Furthermore, just when Ye Feng had put forward the martial art competition, Yang Dingtian had thought of an idea on how to obtain the other half of Mystic Flame map. Besides, the so-called martial arts competition by Ye Feng was also one of the most crucial points for this plan.
Subsequently, Yang Dingtian immediately nodded his head at Ye Feng, “I agree to it. I will be your opponent for the martial arts competition at the banquet.”
