Supreme Emperor of Swords Chapter 854 - Land of Divine Grace

Chapter 854 Land of Divine Grace

“Amitabha. Senior Brother Ding, long time no see.” The woman greeted Ding Hao with one hand.
Ding Hao also sighed emotionally and said, “Junior Sister Tingchan, it has been a long time since we met in the Snow Province last time. Legend has it that you also got involved in the Sage Battlefield. Later, your teacher also inquired about you from various parties, but he never got any information. I thought you died in the Sage Battlefield, but I didn’t expect that you would come to this world. It’s really surprising.”
That’s right. The beautiful and gentle woman with black hair in front of him was Lei Tingchan, the missing disciple of the Zero Thought Sect.
Ding Hao had never expected that Lei Tingchan would be in this world.
The nine sects in the Snow Province were united and connected with each other, and the Zero Thought Sect was one of the allies of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Therefore, it was reasonable for Ding Hao to call her Junior Sister Tingchan.
“Thank you for saving my life, Senior Brother Ding.” Lei Tingchan bowed to express her gratitude.
Ding Hao’s eyes changed a little bit. He said, “In fact, Junior Sister Tingchan, you could have left long ago without my help, right?”
Lei Tingchan shook his head and said, “Monks don’t lie. I just made a slight breakthrough in the cultivation of the Sailing in the Sea. If it weren’t you Senior Brother Ding who controlled this evil man, I wouldn’t have regained my freedom. What’s more, there are fifty guards in this dungeon.”
Ding Hao nodded and looked at those over 50 Black Armored Army soldiers. He frowned slightly, wondering how to deal with them. If they stayed, they would probably remember Lei Tingchan and Ding Hao’s appearance and combat ability. When the Immortal General of the God’s Palace arrived, Lei Tingchan and Ding Hao would face pursuit. If they were investigated deeply, it would bring trouble to Nalan Chu and her brother.
“Amitabha, let me do it.”
Lei Tingchan seemed to have seen through Ding Hao’s mind at a glance. She put her palms together, lowered her head, and sighed in a low voice, “Buddha is merciful to purge the sin!”
In an instant, her body shone with golden light. When she looked up again, her eyes completely turned golden, just like the eyes of the Buddha. Her eyes, compassionate but also ruthless, swept over the bodies of the fifty soldiers on the ground as if removing something from their bodies.
“Done. They will forget everything here tonight.” Lei Tingchan said with the golden Buddha retracting.
It was really an amazing magical power.
Ding Hao was a little confused. Lei Tingchan came from the Zero Thought Sect in Snow Province which was very ordinary in the whole Northern Region, so there should not be such a wonderful Buddhist magic power in this sect. Where did she obtain this extraordinary Buddhist magic power?
Ding Hao waved his hand and put away the 100 soldiers of the Heaven-exterminating Flame Army and said, “This is not a good place to talk. Let’s leave first.”
At the same time, he took out a clean white inner shirt and a green shirt from the storage ring and handed them to Lei Tingchan.
The kasaya shining with Buddhist light she wore was not real clothes but came from a magical power.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Ding.”
Lei Tingchan did not stand on ceremony but quickly changed into the clothes behind Ding Hao. Then, she fumbled for a few storage devices on Mo Yuncong’s body and easily broke the restriction on them. She took out some of the things that belonged to her and handed the rest to Ding Hao.
Ding Hao took it.
At this time, Lei Tingchan became a gorgeous woman with black hair like a waterfall and white and smooth skin. There was a watery light rippling in her eyes. She had a slender waist and long legs, and the loosen cyan shirt couldn’t cover her charming figure. With a holy and merciful temperament, she was endowed with a mysterious beauty.
“Let’s go.”
Ding Hao walked out along the passage where he came from.
When they came out, it was still dark outside. It was less than two hours before dawn, and it was the darkest time of the night. The guards outside did not notice what had happened in the water dungeon, still patrolling back and forth. The secret sentry posts had been replaced by new guards, and the whole City Lord’s Mansion was still guarded tightly.
However, for masters like Ding Hao and Lei Tingchan, it was not difficult to go out silently.
Until Ding Hao and Lei Tingchan returned to the inn in the Market City, no one found anything unusual.
It was not until dawn when the guards of the prison changed shifts that they found the unconscious the sixth miss, Granny Rong and the others. The peace in the City Lord’s Mansion was suddenly broken. The sixth miss’s biological mother, Lady Liu, was furious and intended to find the city lord to ask for justice in person. Only then did the head of the guards enter the water dungeon and find the body of Mo Yuncong, the city lord.
An earth-shattering change had taken place.
In an instant, the whole City Lord’s Mansion was in a mess.
When the sixth miss heard of her father’s death, she wasn’t too sorrowful. Instead, she was scared to death. She finally understood what kind of a terrifying man she’d provoked. He dared to kill the city lord appointed by the God’s Palace, so killing her would be as easy as killing a chicken. It was already the heavens’ blessing that she saved her own life.
The thought of revenge was immediately out of her mind.
Just as the entire City Lord’s Mansion was in chaos, the Immortal General appointed by the God’s Palace finally arrived.
“What? The city lord is dead? And the devil woman was rescued as well?” The Immortal General was furious. Mo Yuncong’s death had nothing to do with him, but now that the devil woman had escaped, he couldn’t complete his task. So how could he not be infuriated?
Irritated, the Immortal General put over a hundred guards of the City Lord’s Mansion to death.
“Lock the city and search every inch of this place to find some clues… Meanwhile, send out the guards of the God’s Palace to search everything within five thousand kilometers of the city. Capture all suspicious people. Kill anyone who resists.”
The roar of the Immortal General resounded throughout the entire City Lord’s Mansion.
The sixth miss knelt in the crowd, trembling with fear. After a moment of hesitation, she crawled forward a few steps and told the Immortal General everything she knew, including the appearance of Ding Hao and others and the inn they were in.
“Well? You are quite clever.” The Immortal General rubbed the girl’s chin and carefully looked at her and said， “I like smart women but it’s a pity that your Dantian is broken and you have no strength now. Come to the main hall to sleep with me. If you do well, I will restore your Dantian.”
The sixth miss stunned. But hearing she had the hope of restoring her Dantian, she became active again.
To be with an Immortal General from the God’s Palace would not be an insult to her status.
After the order was passed down, soon the guards of the God’s Palace rushed to the inn in the downtown of the Market City
However, when they arrived, Ding Hao and the others had already left.
“Those people have checked out of their rooms in the early morning and are heading for the east gate…” the inn owner said with fear.
“He must have escaped from the east gate… chase him!”
The guards of the God’s Palace swarmed forwards.
At the same time, in another room of the inn, Ding Hao looked in the direction where the guards disappeared and said with a smile. “They’re gone.”
The guards of the God’s Palace would never have thought that after Ding Hao and others checked out, they only walked a short distance toward the east gate, then turned back, changed their appearances, booked a room, and still lived in this inn.
In the city, Ding Hao could get information from all sides, so they needed to stay there for the time being.
If he was in the wilderness again, with Ding Hao’s sense of direction, he might get lost for half a year.
Ding Hao taught Nalan Chu the cultivation method of Taixuan Sword-seeking Scripture and asked her to take her silly brother Nalan Youxia to cultivate in the room. He waved his hand casually to isolate all auras in the room, and then came to Lei Tingchan.
Only the two of them were left in the outer room.
“Senior Brother Ding, which part do you want to listen to?” Lei Tingchan looked at Ding Hao with her beautiful eyes. She was very smart, so she understood that Ding Hao kept her to know about the world.
Ding Hao slowly sat down opposite Lei Tingchan. He didn’t ask her questions immediately but told her everything that had happened in the Land of Infinity in detail, including Sweet Sound who had become the master of the Great Leiyin Monastery. Now she was suspected of murdering her fellow disciples and framed Golden Cicada.
Even though Lei Tingchan had profound Buddhist knowledge and excellent meditation skills, she couldn’t help reciting the Buddha’s name after hearing Ding Hao’s words.
“It turns out that so many things have happened. Does that mean Junior Sister Sweet Sound has fallen into the Devil’s Path?” Lei Tingchan said with a sigh.
Ding Hao shook his head and said, “No, not necessarily. Maybe she had no choice, or maybe there was some misunderstanding.”
Sweet Sound was also an old friend of Ding Hao’s. Ding Hao always had a good impression of her. Moreover, it was said that Sweet Sound had a disadvantaged background. From the day she was born, she had joined the Zero Thought Sect and studied Buddhism. She had a high Buddhism attainment, so she should not be a great evil person.
“I hope so.” Lei Tingchan was not willing to believe that her sister who grew up with her went to the Devil’s Path overnight.
“How did you come to this world?” Ding Hao asked.
Lei Tingchan said, “After entering the Sage Battlefield, I was separated from everyone and was teleported to a dangerous place at random. I barely survive and finally obtained the golden body of the Buddha, so my strength was greatly improved. Later, I went to the city of the Highest Heaven, but I left quickly. Afterward, I accidentally entered a Buddhist ancient site and got some ancient Buddhist inheritance. And then I went to the Fake God City you mentioned, but I was a little later than you. When the Fake God City collapsed, I was swept into the space-time crack in the sky. I thought I would return to Snow Province, but I didn’t expect to be directly teleported to this world called Land of Divine Grace…”
She told Ding Hao the reason why she came to this world in detail.
Ding Hao was shocked and hurriedly said, “What did you say? Is this world called Land of Divine Grace?”
Lei Tingchan glanced at Ding Hao in surprise, not knowing why he was so excited. She nodded and said, “Yes, it’s Land of Divine Grace.”
Ding Hao was stunned.
It turned out that the legendary immortal land… was actually the Land of Divine Grace.
“It is the place where I was born?
“Was it the world where Ding Shengtan and Yu Qingcheng used to live?
“It turns out to be like this?” Ding Hao thought.
Although Ding Hao had some speculations about this before, when the answer was revealed, he was still a little shocked and excited.
The Golden Light in the Fake God City engraved in Ding Hao’s sea of consciousness involuntarily emerged again. The scene from 10,000 years ago seemed to have happened yesterday, but now everything had changed. The God’s Palace had probably been controlled by the enemy of his family, hadn’t it?
