Chapter 88

Two hours, four hours, Yunxiao City is nearly two thousand li away. If Yang Yan misses the elimination battle, Yang Yan and the others will certainly take the opportunity to drive Yang Dingtian out of Yunxiao City.

In an instant, Yang Dingtian couldn't wait to jump out and then ride the flying beast to Yunxiao City at the fastest speed. He stood up and lifted the coffin lid, only to find himself deep inside the Lingzhong Tower, which was dozens of meters from the ground.

"Brother Yang is awake," Zhao Mu said with surprise and joy.

"Xiao Tian," Ximen Ningning, who was resting on the ground with her eyes closed, opened her beautiful eyes and said with surprise and joy.

Yang Dingtian leaped down from the fifty-meter-high Lingzhong Tower without any damage. Then he came to Zhao Mu and Zhao Wuji and bowed deeply, saying, "Seniors, Brother Zhao Mu, I cannot express my gratitude. From now on, no matter where I am, as long as Brother Zhao Mu calls, I will come from afar."

Zhao Mu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't be polite."

"Unfortunately, the three hundred years of foundation of the Terror Manor have been destroyed in an instant," Yang Dingtian said.

Zhao Wuji said, "It's not your fault. If it weren't for you, the Thousand-Year Night Owl would have destroyed more than just the Terror Manor. It's already a stroke of luck that the Lingzhong Tower has been preserved."

Yang Dingtian said, "Now that the entire manor is destroyed, what should be done with the thousands of people inside? Where should they settle?"

"Don't worry. We have already anticipated this disaster a few years ago, so we have built a new manor in advance. Although it's not as big, it's enough to accommodate thousands of people," Zhao Wuji said. Then he looked at Yang Dingtian for a long time and sighed, "Breaking through a dozen levels of Xuan Qi in ten days is truly astonishing. Originally, I thought you had no chance of winning against Dongfang Bingling in five years, but now it's hard to say who will win in five years."

"I hope I won't disappoint you, Senior," Yang Dingtian said, then looked at Ningning and asked, "Sister Ningning, how are you?"

Yang Dingtian noticed that she was no longer as weak and haggard as yesterday, and her face had regained its normal color.

"I'm fine," Ximen Ningning said softly. "What about you? How did your Xuan Qi breakthrough go?"

"I broke through to level nineteen, just one step away from becoming a Xuan Warrior," Yang Dingtian said.

"What? Level nineteen?!" Zhao Mu and Zhao Wuji exclaimed in unison.

Zhao Mu looked at Yang Dingtian in disbelief and said, "In a thousand years, no one has ever had such a crazy breakthrough! Brother Yang, if this news spreads, you will shock the entire world in no time. I really look forward to Dongfang Bingling's expression. In her eyes, you are just an ordinary talent!"

Yang Dingtian couldn't help but smile bitterly and didn't say anything. But he believed that with Dongfang Bingling's pride and stubbornness, she would never regret what she had done.

Hearing that Yang Dingtian had broken through to level nineteen, Ximen Ningning's eyes lit up, and she smiled, "I knew Xiao Tian wouldn't disappoint anyone. Compared to Dongfang Bingling, I look forward even more to Yan Yan's reaction when she hears this news. She will be speechless. You've won the first round of your little couple."

Thinking of Yan Yan, Yang Dingtian couldn't help but smile warmly, but then he worried, "I promised to return yesterday to prove myself to her. Now that I haven't returned, she might have already left Yunxiao City for the Netherworld Sea."

Ningning's eyes furrowed. She knew Yan Yan's temper very well. This girl was quick to take offense and very impulsive. Seeing that Yang Dingtian hadn't returned yesterday, she might have really gone to the Netherworld Sea.

However, if Yan Yan had any affection for Yang Dingtian, she would wait for him in Yunxiao City. Even if Yang Dingtian failed to break through, she would wait for him to return to Yunxiao City to see her one last time before leaving.

"I believe Yan Yan won't leave Yunxiao City without seeing you one last time," Ningning said softly. "But the elimination battle in Yunxiao City is only a few hours away. We need to leave immediately."

Seeing the urgency in Yang Dingtian's eyes, Zhao Mu said, "I was going to invite Brother Yang to my new manor as a guest, but since you have urgent matters, you should go quickly."

Yang Dingtian smiled awkwardly and bowed again, saying, "Then I'll take my leave. If Brother Zhao Mu needs anything in the future, just send a letter, and no matter how dangerous or difficult it is, I will come."

"Still the same, I won't be polite," Zhao Mu said with a smile. Of course, he was just saying it. In the next five years, he wouldn't ask anything of Yang Dingtian. Before defeating Dongfang Bingling, he wouldn't let anything delay Yang Dingtian.

"Sister Ningning, let's go," Yang Dingtian said. "We need to get to Yunxiao City as quickly as possible for the elimination battle. I hope Yan Yan is still in Yunxiao City."

"Alright, but we can't cross the border with our current faces. Young Master, we might have to disguise ourselves as people from the Terror Manor," Ningning said to Zhao Mu.

"Miss Ximen, please do as you wish. After you finish your disguise, I will prepare the tokens for you and make the two people who look similar disappear for half a month," Zhao Mu said.

Then, Zhao Mu and Zhao Wuji left, allowing Ningning to start her disguise.

About half an hour later, Yang Dingtian had transformed into a completely different face, a very ordinary one. He was a nominal disciple of Zhao Wuji. Ningning disguised herself as a maid, and both of them put on cloaks to completely cover their faces.

"Xiao Tian, carry me out to the horse," Ningning suddenly said.

Yang Dingtian was slightly taken aback and exclaimed, "Sister Ningning, what's wrong with your legs?"

"They can't move for now," Ningning said.

"Is it because of the Deep Sea Xuan Poison?" Yang Dingtian asked.

Ningning nodded and said, "When I controlled the Deep Sea Xuan Poison to shoot the Thousand-Year Night Owl, my body was also contaminated with less than a millionth of the Deep Sea Xuan Poison. To avoid harming my Qi Sea, I had to use my Xuan Qi to suppress it and force it to the least harmful part of my body, which is below my thighs."

Yang Dingtian immediately reached out and grabbed Ningning's calf, lifted her skirt and pants, and saw that her beautiful legs were indeed tinged with a seductive green color up to her thighs. Although it was an unusual beauty, it was a lingering poison.

"This tiny bit of Deep Sea Xuan Poison can't endanger my life, but my legs can't move for now," Ningning said.

Yang Dingtian looked at the seductive green on her beautiful legs and clenched his teeth, saying, "It can definitely be cured, right?"

"Let's get back to Yunxiao City first, no matter what," Ningning said.

Yang Dingtian said firmly, "No, you must tell me how to cure it first."

Ningning smiled gently and said, "If it were the entire Deep Sea Xuan Poison, nothing in the world could save me. But this tiny bit of poison can still be cured. There is a snake called the Ten Thousand Poison Demon Snake. It doesn't eat anything else; it feeds on poison from birth. The more toxic, the more it likes it. This snake can grow up to three feet long and then gradually shrink. It is one of the most poisonous species in the world. As long as I have this snake, it can smell the Deep Sea Xuan Poison from dozens of meters away and completely extract it from my body."

"Where can we find such a Ten Thousand Poison Demon Snake?" Yang Dingtian asked.

"In the Secret Poison Tribe in the western wilderness, they raise these Ten Thousand Poison Demon Snakes. However, the people there are mysterious and savage, isolated and remote, and skilled in poison and witchcraft, making it very dangerous," Ningning said.

Yang Dingtian bent down and kissed Ningning's seductive thigh, saying solemnly, "Sister Ningning, I will definitely get this Ten Thousand Poison Demon Snake and make you better."

"Of course, Sister believes in you," Ningning said softly. "Actually, Sister didn't tell you, but the Deep Sea Xuan Poison isn't all bad for me. It has a special benefit that I can't mention, so let it stay in my body for a while. Sister's body is different from everyone else's."

Yang Dingtian was slightly taken aback and then remembered something, saying, "But what about your Xuan Qi cultivation? The Xuan Meridians must pass through your legs."

Ningning hesitated for a moment, her face blushing as she said softly, "There is a method where Xuan Qi can bypass the legs, using the perineum as the lowest point. Of course, the cultivation speed will be slower than usual."

The perineum is the most private part of a girl, and Ningning naturally felt shy after saying it.

Then Ningning said, "These are matters for later. The most important thing now is to get back to Yunxiao City for the elimination battle."

Yang Dingtian didn't say anything more, just nodded again and then carried Ningning out.

Outside, the horses were already prepared. Zhao Mu came forward and handed him a token, saying, "Uncle Wuji will escort you across the border. In this area, no one will dare to provoke him."

Yang Dingtian thought for a moment and didn't refuse, saying, "Thank you."

Then, he first carried Ningning onto a flying beast. The two of them rode a griffin together, while Zhao Wuji rode a giant bat beast.

"Brother Zhao Mu, take care," Yang Dingtian said, bowing on the griffin's back.

"Brother Yang, take care," Zhao Mu said, bowing in return.

"Go!" Yang Dingtian shouted, and the griffin immediately spread its wings and flew toward the northeastern border.

*****

Two hours later, the border town of the Qin family in the northwest was in sight.

Yang Dingtian and Zhao Wuji's flying beasts landed on the ground. Since the border abyss could not be flown over, they had to ride horses.

First, he carried Ningning onto a horse. Although her legs couldn't move, as a beast tamer, controlling a horse was easy for her.

Yang Dingtian and Zhao Wuji each mounted a horse and galloped toward the eastern abyss border.

Fifteen minutes later, the three of them arrived at the border suspension bridge.

With the token from the Terror Manor and the presence of the powerful Zhao Wuji, Yang Dingtian and Ningning crossed the bridge without any hindrance, entering the territory of Yunxiao City.

Zhao Wuji escorted Yang Dingtian and Ningning to a secret mountain stronghold of Ningning's. Since the day Yang Dingtian went to the abandoned mine, the Ethereal Ray had been waiting here every day for their arrival.

Yang Dingtian carried Ningning onto the Ethereal Ray and said to Zhao Wuji, "Thank you for the escort. Senior, please return."

"Goodbye," Zhao Wuji said, then mounted his horse and galloped back toward the Terror Manor.

"Yao Yao, back to Yunxiao City," Yang Dingtian said.

The Ethereal Ray immediately spread its wings and flew to a thousand meters high, heading toward Yunxiao City, which was a few hundred miles away.

At this moment, there was still an hour and a half before the end of the elimination battle.
