Chapter 861 Undercurrents Surging in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect

Ding Hao suddenly felt that many things were not as simple as they looked.

It could be imagined how much effort the couple had put in for their children.

However, where were they now?

“Could they have been caught up by the pursuers of the God’s Palace?” Ding Hao thought.

Ding Hao was very worried deep in his heart.

“Damn it, how could I be tricked by you unconsciously. Well, now that you know everything, it’s time for us to go back,” said the Sky-fleeing Stone Key resentfully. After saying everything, he who was complacent first, suddenly realized that he had been tricked by Ding Hao.

“Go back? Go back to the ancient sect ruins?” Ding Hao asked subconsciously.

Sky-fleeing Stone Key laughed out loud and said, “Bullshit ancient sect ruins. That’s just an illusion created by Ding Shengtan. It is the only place where we can find the Mountain Gate of Fortune, and only the bloodline power of the couple and my transmission can send you here. The place where we should go now is the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.”

“The Swordsmanship-seeking Sect?” Ding Hao was stunned.

“Of course, the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Looking at such an empty mountain gate, don’t you want to move your sect over to fill it up?” Sky-fleeing Stone Key asked.

Ding Hao was stunned, and then he was overjoyed.

The Land of Infinity.

In the Northern Region.

Snow Province.

Swordsmanship-seeking Mountain.

It had been half a year since the last life-and-death battle between the two races.

The alliance between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan had ended.

Many people didn’t see the whole meeting personally, but the final result was still announced. Both sides reached an agreement that they would not fight against each other within three years, which was the best result for the average of the two races. Many people cried with joy when they heard the final result.

But the problem was that the time limit was only three years.

Compared to the Primeval Alliance Treaty that had kept the peace and order between the two races for nearly ten thousand years, three years was simply negligible. Only those who had wisdom would be able to discern that the treaty actually had another meaning, which was that the two parties could attack each other after three years.

The seeming peace didn’t mean a real truce.

The undercurrents in the dark were even more turbulent.

The Swordsmanship-seeking Sect drew nearly all the attention of the entire Northern Region. It was not only because of the three talents who had shocked the entire Northern Region in the three life-and-death arenas, but also because there was astonishing storage of top-grade purple mysterious crystal in its back mountain the Great Abyss.

The news, which had been kept as a secret by the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect for nearly four years, was finally leaked out.

As a result, many people began to speculate whether it was because of such a large number of top-grade mysterious crystals that the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect rose at such a fast speed and cultivated so many talents. All the forces were envious at first, and then began to covet these abundant mineral resources.

“The mysterious crystal was created by the heaven and earth. It belongs to the entire Northern Region instead of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect alone.”

Someone expressed this opinion.

And it was supported by many people.

“There are many talents in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, but after all, it is just a small sect in the Northern Region. Therefore, it is actually a waste for it to own so many mineral resources. The Sect Swordsmanship-seeking Sect should contribute them to the entire Northern Region!”

“Yes, hasn’t Ding Hao been teaching people martial arts all the time? Since even the secrets of martial arts can be made public, why can’t he contribute the mineral resources? Otherwise, he is just fishing for fame.”

“These resources can help other sects cultivate countless human experts, and it can also increase the strength of countless sects. The Swordsmanship-seeking Sect should give up the resources for the sake of the entire Human Clan in the Northern Region. This is true righteousness.”

All kinds of comments were spreading.

Those who spoke were all experts with great status in the Northern Region’s martial arts field. Some major sects and forces also expressed the same idea to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect in a euphemistic way, hoping that the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect could consider the general situation of the entire human clan in Snow Province and contribute the mysterious crystal.

If it weren’t for Ding Hao’s presence, someone might have started to rob openly.

After discussing with the senior officers of the sect, Li Lan, the head of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect who was not stingy, agreed to contribute half of the mysterious crystal in the back mountain abyss to ten super sects like the Blue Cloud Sect, the Extermination Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. In fact, Li Lan did not refuse to do all the things that were beneficial for the entire Human Clan in the Northern Region. Moreover, the reserves of the mysterious crystal were so abundant that the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect would not be able to use them up in thousands of years.

Li Lan’s action quashed many rumors.

However, apparently, the storm would not end easily.

As the saying goes, an innocent man was guilty because of having precious jade.

Finally, some mysterious superiors broke into the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect’s back mountain abyss. Although the formation left by Ding Hao blocked the invaders, the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect also suffered heavy losses with dozens of disciples dying in the several battels against those invaders!

Later, even some disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect who went out for training were attacked by unknown superiors or directly disappeared. Many days later, the bodies of those missing disciples were found at the Sword-cleansing Pond, and obviously, they were tortured to death!

It was evident that someone secretly captured the disciples of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and interrogated them about the situation in the sect.

Then all kinds of rumors began to spread in the Northern Region.

“The reason why there is such amazing storage of mysterious crystal in the back mountain of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect is that they have a magic weapon. It can turn ordinary rocks into high-grade mysterious crystals to continually produce mysterious crystals. Anyone or a force can unify the world once they get this magic weapon.”

“There is a Divine Herb Garden on the mountain gate of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Countless magical herbs and precious medicines are planted in it. They can be used to refine pills to make people immortal. Human, ghost and even god are jealous of the garden...”

“Under the nourishment of the purple mysterious crystal, the mountain gate of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect has become a rare paradise. Even an idiot can unseal the Qi Seed and become a master in half a year...”

“Yes, now that the whole Swordsmanship-seeking Sect is shrouded in immortal Qi and shows auspicious signs. Such a blessed place is rare in the world. It can’t be monopolized by the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. I think the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect should contribute to its mountain gate so that all the martial artists of the Human Clan in the Northern Region can have a chance to enter this area to cultivate and enhance their strength...”

“That’s right. As the saying goes, land with treasure belongs to the virtuous. After all, the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect is only a sect with a low population, so it doesn’t deserve to occupy such a treasure land. You’d better give it up!”

“I heard that the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect has controlled another chessboard formation, which can be driven by the power of mysterious crystals to open the gate to the immortal land...”

“If I want to go to the immortal land, I need to go to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.”

“This is a shocking matter related to the secret of becoming an immortal. The Swordsmanship-seeking Sect should give the Human Clan an explanation!”

All kinds of news, true or false, was spreading. Many people said that the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect should give the Human Clan in the Northern Region an explanation. In addition, when those superiors and forces from all over the world tested the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect before, Ding Hao and Xie Jieyu did not show up to fight against them, which made many people guess secretly that Ding Hao and Xie Jieyu might have gone to the immortal land and were not in the sect.

If it weren’t for Ding Hao and the other peerless masters, many people would have begun to plot.

Even some sects and masters who had been friendly to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect before also expressed that they should make the secrets related to the fate of the Human Clan public, hoping that the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect could understand their difficulties and allow their elite disciples to cultivate in the mountain gate of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect...

Some sects came to ask for divine herbs for various reasons, and some of the arrogant sects even put forward many unreasonable and rude requests...

It was as if a storm was brewing in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect these days.

In particular, the fates of the disciples who were missing or died tragically irritated countless people.

Li Lan was so angry that she investigated it personally. With the cooperation of the Blue Cloud Sect and Extermination Swordsmanship Sect, it took them more than a month to find some clues, and these scattered clues pointed to the two top sects in the Northern Region, the River Palace and Hidden Fragrance Peak.

River Palace, with a long history of nearly 10,000 years, was located in the southwest of the Northern Region. It boasted of many strong masters and was the leader of the south. As one of the only ten nonpareil sects in Snow Province, it had always been very high-profile, and its strength was only inferior to that of the Blue Cloud Sect and was nearly in line with the strength of the Extermination Swordsmanship Sect.

While the Hidden Fragrance Peak, like the Falling Star Sect in Snow Province, was a mysterious sect similar and was famous for killing people with hidden weapons. It had a longer history than the River Palace. Its disciples were extremely mysterious. There would be a group of successors in every generation. They walked in the Northern Region like a group of death deities in the shadows. Being good at killing, they were righteous as well as evil. The Hidden Fragrance Peak was a sect that countless experts feared.

Not long after the end of the Life-and-Death Arena, the River Palace had voluntarily shown its goodwill to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Who knew that they would do such a thing secretly?

But when the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect asked them, the River Palace denied it immediately.

“That’s impossible. We will never do such a thing.” The elder of the River Palace, who happened to be in the Mirror Lake in Snow Province, said resolutely.

Li Lan did not speak but showed him all the evidence she found before which was basically irrefutable.

“This is slander. Someone deliberately framed us. It’s absolutely impossible for my River Palace to do such a thing...” the elder said with a righteous look on his face.
