The bad news finally came!
“Whoop, I don’t want Uncle Guo to die. Whoop. Uncle Guo …” Gao Xue’er could not help sheding a flood of tears, like pear blossoms bathed in the rain—a true weeping beauty.
“Good girl, don’t cry. Practice martial arts hard to become the most powerful warrior. Uncle Guo passed away, but your loved ones need your guarding. Get stronger quickly so that one day, you can use the long saber in your hand, to fight for a bigger living space for your tribesmen!”
Ding Hao reached out his hand and wiped the tears on the little girl’s face.
“Whoop. Elder Brother Setting out with One Saber, tell me who killed Uncle Guo. Xue’er should avenge him. I swear!” The little girl’s eyes were filled with hatred.
Ding Hao touched the little girl’s head and said with a smile, “The enemy is too powerful. You are not a match for him. Practice martial arts hard, for now. I’ll find those murderers to avenge your Uncle Guo.”
Ding Hao comforted the little girl for a while and then with other people, he returned to the lobby of the stone building.
…
“As for these treasures, I will take some and leave others to the village. However, the problem now is that the Valley Village has too many treasures, being both a good thing and a bad thing. If the news were to spread, I am afraid that those treasures will be coveted by various parties. I cannot say for sure that no desperate people may take risks to rob them.” Ding Hao’s eyes fell on Gao Feng, the village chief and Gao Lin, the elder. He said, “I wonder what you are going to do next?”
“We have been fighting and killing for so many years. The Gao family in the Valley Village has always been struggling to survive. Except for Xue’er, no other talented disciple has showed up here. It seems that the way that the Li family in Qingjiang Town took does not work for us…” Gao Lin sighed.
“Yeah, so many treasures. Even if we keep them, we can’t consume them. They may bring us trouble.” After the excitement, Gao Feng and others also felt dumbfounded.
After some discussion, they couldn’t come to any conclusion. In the end, they turned to Ding Hao for help.
“You can move to Peaceful City. How about it?” Ding Hao asked tentatively.
“Moving to Peaceful City?” Gao Feng felt stunned and he immediately said with a bitter smile, “If we could really move there, it would be all that we could wish for. Protected by the Governor’s mansion and the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, we wouldn’t be attacked by demons and ominous beasts so that we could live like immortals, but…
“But we might not be allowed to enter Peaceful City even if we wanted to. The city’s entry examination is extremely strict and harsh. It is said that people with the permission given by the Governor’s mansion and the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect can be granted the right to settle down in the city. It is absolutely impossible for us, almost a hundred people, to move in one go!” Gao Lin said with envy.
“If you want to move into the city, I can ask my friends for help. You may have some hope,” Ding Hao thought for a while and said.
As for such a matter, it was not difficult to deal with. Ding Hao could ask Wang Juefeng, the cynical man, for help. Or Ximen Qianxue, the current big shot of the Sect. It would not be a big problem to resolve the residence rights for nearly a hundred people from the Valley Village. With the treasures obtained from the Blood Dragon Village, they were perfectly capable of purchasing some estates. In such a way, the villagers’ bread-and-butter problem could be solved.
Ding Hao’s words made Gao Feng and others see the dawn.
Everyone was overjoyed.
Gao Lin, the elder of the village, nodded slightly while a look of relief flashed in his foggy eyes. He seemed to have made a difficult final decision.
…
…
In less than a day, what happened on the Rising Dragon Peak spread all over the Snow Dragon Mountain.
That night’s legendary story had also spread to Peaceful City.
Even as time passed, the news, like a plague, had spread all over the Snow Province.
It didn’t take long for the Jianghu world in the Snow Province to learn of that. Almost everyone knew that a superior named Setting out with One Saber had just shown up recently with a powerful saber technique. Relying on his invincible Scorching Hot Saber, he insta-killed a demon commander.
No one knew the sect from which Setting out with One Saber had learned from. No one knew his age, not even where he was from and where he would go!
Sentence with the Scorching Hot Saber. Setting out with One Saber!
Those words had become the hotspots on everyone’s lips.
Almost every warrior who had participated in those Blood Sacrifices and returned alive from the Rising Dragon Peak, within a very long period of time, explained the meaning of those words complacently to people around him.
Even storytellers in many settlements took delight in talking about that mysterious story.
“As the story says, on the Rising Dragon Peak, one day thunder rumbled and lightning flashed. And then it was heard that ‘the sun comes out in the east, just shining on me. Demons and monsters would be killed by Setting out with One Saber’… Such words were heard on the Rising Dragon Peak like a gods’ roar. Before everyone got to understand them, a matchless strong man with the bronze grimace mask appeared on the peak. With just with one saber, he killed Su Long, the Swimming Dragon Sword in the Blood Dragon Village!”
“Oh, no, ah, this person is really outstanding and his strength is too powerful. Even that big Tauren and Demon Commander was also insta-killed with one saber!”
“The Sentence with a Scorching Hot Saber is not a joke. I dare say that if someone is targeted by this man in the future, he would be heading into a blind alley!”
“Hehe, now, those evildoers have to be always on tenterhooks, otherwise they will be picked up by Setting out with One Saber. Sentencing with a Scorching Hot Saber means being marked by Death!”
“I wonder if the master with top saber techniques will show up or not?”
“Hard to say. He killed the big Tauren and Demon Commander, the master in the Demon God Palace and maybe he would get revenge. How arrogant the Void Crown Prince is. He is a guy who seeks revenge for the smallest grievance.”
“It is said that now many people have been looking for Setting out with One Saber!”
“Some say that he raises a cat who likes to eat human beings.”
Ding Hao’s reputation as the embodiment of Setting out with One Saber had spread among the people. As for such a mysterious man who acted like the Judge Yama, everyone was full of curiosity. People were even unable to stop guessing how the mysterious person would be like in the future.
Some people were even worried about him. Setting out with One Saber had killed the Demon Commander from the Demon God Palace. Once the Palace took revenge on him, with the Void Crown Prince’s personality, the future of Setting out with One Saber would be worrying.
Besides, others felt interested in Ding Hao’s devil cat. At their leisure times, people always talked about a kitten who was able to speak and a terror kitten who was able to devour human beings and devils.
Setting out with One Saber became famous overnight. Many people had been looking for him, but Setting out with One Saber seemed to have disappeared. Those searching for him failed, and they had just heard of his reputation?
Where was Setting out with One Saber and what was he doing?
