There were only four hours left before the Elimination Battle ended, and it was taking place around two thousand miles away in Cloud Sky City. If he missed the Elimination Battle this time, Yang Yan and the others would definitely take this chance to banish him from Cloud Sky City.

As such, Yang Dingtian couldn’t wait to jump out from the coffin and immediately rush back to Cloud Sky City on the flying beast as quickly as possible. He then stood up and opened the cover of the coffin. He was right. He was currently located deep in the Burial Tower and was dozens of meters above the ground.

“Brother Yang has woken up!” Zhao Mu was very excited.

“Little Tian.” Ximen Ningning, who was meditating on the ground, opened her eyes in surprise.

Yang Dingtian jumped down and went to Zhao Mu and Zhao Wujin and sincerely bowed to them. “Senior, Brother Zhao, I will show my appreciation through my actions. From now on, no matter where am I, as long as you’re facing any difficulties, I will definitely come in an instant regardless of where I am.”

Zhao Mu laughed and replied, “Don’t worry, of course I will.”

“Unfortunately, the three-hundred-year-old foundation of Horror Mountain Village has all been destroyed,” Yang Dingtian said.

Zhao Wujin said, “This isn’t your fault. If you weren’t here, the Millennium Owl would have destroyed more than just Horror Mountain Village. What’s more, the Burial Tower is still intact, which is already a pleasant surprise for us.”

Yang Dingtian asked, “So, now that the whole village has been destroyed, what will the thousands of villagers do? Where will they settle down?”

“Don’t worry. To be honest, we’ve already expected this disaster a few years ago, so we’ve already built a brand new village in advance. Although it isn’t big, it’s enough for us to settle all the villagers,” Zhao Wujin said. Then, he looked at Yang Dingtian for a moment and sighed. “Breaking through more than ten levels within ten days is really shocking. I thought that you didn’t have a chance of winning in the battle with Dongfang Bingling in five years, but now, it seems that it’s hard to say who’s going to come out on top.”

“Hopefully, I won’t disappoint you, Senior,” Yang Dingtian said. Then, he looked at Ximen Ningning and asked, “Sister Ningning, how do you feel now?”

Yang Dingtian found that she wasn’t as weak as yesterday. Her pallor had returned to normal.

“I’m fine,” Ximen Ningning answered softly: “What about you? How many levels have you broken through?”

“I’ve broken through nineteen levels and am only one step away from becoming a Xuan Warrior,” Yang Dingtian replied.

“What? Nineteen levels?!” Zhao Mu and Zhao Wujin exclaimed at the same time.

Zhao Mu looked at Yang Dingtian incredulously and said, “In history, no one has achieved such a crazy breakthrough! Brother Yang, if news of this spreads, I’m afraid that you will shock the whole world very quickly. I really look forward to the wonderful expression on Dongfang Bingling’s face. In her eyes, you’re just mediocre!”

Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but just smile, saying nothing. But he believed that with Dongfang Bingling’s pride and stubbornness, she would never regret what she said.

After hearing the good news, Ximen Ningning’s eyes shined. She smiled and said, “I knew that Little Tian would not disappoint. Compared to Dongfang Bingling, I’d prefer to see Yanyan’s expression. Her jaw will definitely drop. You won the first round in your couple’s fight.”

Thinking of Yanyan, Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but smile warmly. Then, he worriedly said, “I told her I would be back yesterday to show her. But I’m still here now. It couldn’t be that she had already left Cloud Sky City and gone to the Netherworld Sea?”

However, if Yanyan’s heart still had a place for Yang Dingtian, then she would definitely wait for him.

“I believe Yanyan wouldn’t leave before seeing you one last time,” Ningning gently consoled him. “But, there are less than four hours before the Elimination Battle ends. We need to go back right now.”

Seeing Yang Dingtian worry, Zhao Mu said, “I was thinking of inviting Brother Yang to visit our newly built village as a visitor, but it seems like you have other more critical things to do. I think you better go back now.”

Yang Dingtian felt a little embarrassed after hearing that. He thanked Zhao Mu again. “Then, I’ll see you later. From now on, if Brother Zhao needs my help, as long as you send me a letter, I’ll immediately rush to you no matter how dangerous it is.”

“Still the same words. Of course I will,” said Zhao Mu with a laugh. Of course, he wouldn’t take advantage of this promise. He won’t request any help from Yang Dingtian within these five years before he’s defeated Dongfang Bingling. He would never let his own affairs interfere with Yang Dingtian’s.

“Sister Ningning, let’s go,” Yang Dingtian said. “We’ve got to reach Cloud Sky City as quickly as possible to participate in the Elimination Battle. Hopefully, Yanyan is still around.”

“Okay, but we can’t use our identities now to pass through the border. Mr. Zhao, we might need to disguise ourselves as villagers from Horror Mountain Village,” Ningning told Zhao Mu.

“Please do as you wish, Ms. Ximen. I’ll prepare a token for you two to take along with your disguise. Then, I’ll have those two villagers disappear from Horror Mountain Village for half a month,” Zhao Mu said.

Then, Zhao Mu and Zhao Wujin left. Ningning began to work on their disguises.

About half an hour later, Yang Dingtian had changed into another face, a very ordinary face. This was Zhao Wujin’s nominal disciple. Then, Ningning disguised herself as a maid. They then put on cloaks to completely obscure their faces.

“Little Tian, you hold me here after we get on the horse,” Ningning suddenly said.

Yang Dingtian was slightly surprised. “Sister Ningning, what happened to your legs?”

“I can’t move temporarily,” Ningning answered.

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

Ningning nodded. “When I controlled the Deep Sea Xuan Poison and shot it into the Millennium Owl, my body was also contaminated with a small portion. In order to prevent it from damaging my Sea of Energy, I have to use my Xuan energy to push it down and force it below my thigh, where it will have the least effect on me.”

Yang Dingtian reached out and grabbed Ningning’s leg. He raised her skirt and trousers and saw that her legs were turning a fascinating green, all the way up to her thighs. Although it was beautiful, it still represented lingering poison.

“This small amount of Deep Sea Xuan Poison won’t harm my life, but my legs are temporarily unable to move,” Ningning said.

Yang Dingtian continued to look at the fascinating green on Ningning’s legs. He clenched his teeth and asked, “It can be cured, right?”

“No matter what, we go back to Cloud Sky City first,” Ningning said.

Yang Dingtian firmly said, “No, you’ve got to tell me how to cure it.”

Ningning smiled softly. “If it is the whole Deep Sea Xuan Poison, then there’s nothing in the world that can cure it. This is only a millionth of the whole, so it still can be cured. There’s a snake called the Million Poison Demon Snake. It doesn’t eat anything but poison. Any kind of poison. It would be happier if it is more poisonous. This snake can grow up to three feet long and will gradually become smaller over time. It is the most poisonous species in the world. As long as there is such a snake, it can smell the Deep Sea Xuan Poison in my body across dozens of meters and eventually absorb it from my body.”

“Where can I find such a poisonous Million Poison Demon Snake?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“In the wild Secret Poison Clan in the west, there are people who rear the Million Poison Devil Snake. But the people there are mysterious and barbaric, closed and aloof. They study poisons and venoms and are all dangerous people,” Ningning said.

Yang Dingtian leaned down and kissed Ningning’s pretty thigh. “Sister Ningning, I promise I will definitely get the Million Poison Demon Snake to cure you.”

“Of course I believe in you,” Ningning softly said. “In fact, I didn’t tell you that this Deep Sea Xuan Poison is not all bad for me. There’s a special advantage for me, but I’m afraid that I can’t tell you why. So you don’t have to worry and let it stay in my body for a while. My body is different from everyone else’s.”

Yang Dingtian was a little shocked and suddenly recalled something. “But what about your Xuan energy cultivation? Because your Xuan veins go through both legs.”

Ningning hesitated. Her face was red as she whispered, “There’s one way. Xuan energy can actually bypass the legs by setting the perineum as the lowest point. Of course, the speed of cultivation is slower than usual.”

The perineum was the most intimate place for girls. Of course, Ningning felt ashamed when she said it.

Ningning then continued, “Alright, these are all in the distant future. But now, the most important thing is to immediately head back to Cloud Sky City to participate in the Elimination Battle.”

Yang Dingtian didn’t say any more. He clenched his teeth and nodded. He carried Ningning on his shoulders and walked outside.

Horses were readied. Zhao Mu handed a token to Yang Dingtian and said, “Uncle Wujin will see you over the border. No one dares to provoke him within these hundreds of miles.”

Yang Dingtian thought for a while and accepted the offer. “Thanks!”

Then, he first took Ningning to a flying beast. Both of them rode on a Griffin while Zhao Wujin rode on a giant bat beast.

“Brother Zhao, take care!” Yang Dingtian shouted at Zhao Mu from the Griffin.

“Brother Yang, take care!” Zhao Mu replied.

“Go!” Yang Dingtian shouted. The Griffin then flew towards the border to the Northeast.

Two hours later, the abyss border town on the edge of the Northwest Qin family’s territory appeared on the horizon.

Yang Dingtian and Zhao Wujin’s flying beasts landed because one was not allowed to cross the border abyss while flying. Only horse riding was allowed.

Yang Dingtian first settled Ningning on a horse. Although she can’t move her legs, she was still able to easily control a horse because she was a beast language master.

Yang Dingtian and Zhao Wujin also rode on horses. They all headed for the abyss boundary on the east side.

After a quarter of an hour, the three of them reached the border of the suspension bridge.

Due to the token from Horror Mountain Village and the presence of the powerful Zhao Wujin, Yang Dingtian and Ximen Ningning passed the suspension bridge without any hindrances and entered Cloud Sky City’s territory.

Zhao Wujin sent Yang Dingtian and Ximen Ningning to Ningning’s secret mountain spot. Since the day Yang Dingtian went to the mine, the Floating Ray had stayed here to wait for their return.

Yang Dingtian put Ningning on the Floating Ray and then said to Zhao Wujin, “Thank you for seeing us off, Senior. You can go back now.”

“See you!” Zhao Wujin said. He then rode his horse back in the direction of Horror Mountain Village.

“Ray Ray, go back to Cloud Sky City,” Yang Dingtian said.

The Floating Ray immediately fluttered its wings and soon reached the height of a kilometer as it flew towards Cloud Sky City.

At the moment, there was still an hour and a half left before the Elimination Battle ends.
