"Dongfang Bubai hasn’t shown up yet, so it’s unlikely that he will come."

Ren Woxing was equally puzzled and frustrated:

"The spies reported everything clearly and distinctly, it’s impossible for there to be a mistake! How could this happen?"

"Indeed."

Xiaang Wentian was also confused:

"Moreover, rumors have spread across Jiuzhou, saying Dongfang Bubai would come to battle you, Hero Ding, at Huashan Peak. Even just for the sake of face, Dongfang Bubai can’t ignore this. But he didn’t come. It’s truly strange!"

"Regardless."

Ding Ling said:

"I must fulfill the promise I made to Miss Ren."

The progress bar for Task 3 is still moving very slowly up to now.

It’s probably because Ding Ling hasn’t defeated Dongfang Bubai, who is rumored to be the number one in Jianghu.

As long as he defeats him.

Ding Ling estimates that the progress bar for Task 3 will probably shoot up.

Then breaking through the void to leave this world would be a natural occurrence.

Other than Qu Feiyan, Ding Ling has nothing left to linger for in this world.

And as for Qu Feiyan, Ding Ling will arrange things in the coming months so that when there are truly no more worries, he will depart.

He cannot waste too much time in this world.

He wants to achieve immortality.

If he wants to take Diao Chan and the others to live forever with him.

He must keep striving until the goal is achieved.

How can he stop moving forward?

"Thank you."

Ren Woxing was overjoyed:

"Then when do you plan to set off, Hero Ding?"

Seeing that Ding Ling could send Bai Wushuang flying with one palm.

Ren Woxing grew increasingly wary and cautious of Ding Ling while also becoming increasingly envious, jealous, and admiring!

Wary and cautious that Ding Ling would take over his status in Jianghu;

Envying and jealous of Ding Ling’s talent, admiring how Ding Ling could easily defeat a formidable woman like Bai Wushuang.

One must know that Bai Wushuang almost killed him, Ren Woxing, with just one move!

With this thought.

For Ding Ling to kill him, Ren Woxing, wouldn’t it be as easy as eating and drinking?

With this thought.

Ren Woxing’s heart grew cold, and he dared not to be too carefree and casual with Ding Ling.

He completely changed his previous arrogant, grand, and overbearing attitude.

In front of Ding Ling, he became much more humble and respectful. Anyone who didn’t know him would doubt whether this was the same Ren Woxing who always considered himself above everyone else!

"Now."

Ding Ling, too, was a decisive person:

"The sooner it’s resolved, the sooner we can feel at ease."

"That’s the best outcome."

Ren Woxing laughed heartily, his grin reaching behind his ears:

"Then let me lead the way."

"I appreciate the trouble, Sect Leader Ren."

Ding Ling smiled slightly.

"It’s only right, it’s only right."

Ren Woxing was flattered:

"Hero Ding is too kind."

Previously, he didn’t feel much.

As Ding Ling defeated Bai Wushuang.

Ren Woxing found himself feeling a sense of restraint in Ding Ling’s presence.

It wasn’t just him.

Many martial arts experts felt the same way.

Yue Buqun and his wife were deeply moved, experiencing for the first time the intense realization of how weak their lifelong martial arts skills seemed.

They also wanted to learn Ding Ling’s Breathing Technique and Cultivation Technique.

But couldn’t bring themselves to ask, and could only silently follow behind Ding Ling, watching his back with tumultuous emotions that couldn’t be calmed for a long time.

After everyone left Huashan Peak.

Feng Qingyang’s figure suddenly appeared at the peak, glancing at the direction Bai Wushuang left, and then looking at Ding Ling’s back, he stroked the three strands of long mustache under his chin, muttering:

"Who exactly is this Bai Wushuang? Why do their martial arts moves seem so familiar? Where have I seen them before?"

After a while, he couldn’t recall.

Feng Qingyang felt a little annoyed:

"Alas. Just like the waves of the Yangtze River pushing the waves before them, the young people these days are truly more remarkable than ever. Not to mention Ding Ling. This Bai Wushuang, a mere woman, by the look of her eyes, she must be in her young years, yet how many heroes of the world could she surpass with such youth? Ah, it truly makes one feel ashamed."

...

...

Ding Ling left with Ren Yingying and the three others.

Zhang Hex, Taishi Ci, Consort Yhu, Qu Feiyan, and others went along as well.

Off to Black Wood Cliff.

The journey was long.

If they rushed using Lightweight Skill and other techniques non-stop, they might reach in a day or two.

But Ding Ling naturally wasn’t in such haste.

Just right during the journey’s gap.

He could guide Qu Feiyan, Zhang Hex, Taishi Ci, and others in martial arts, techniques, and Inner Power Heart Techniques.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

On this day.

They arrived at Black Wood Cliff.

Because they had an insider.

Ding Ling and his group smoothly arrived at the front gate of the main hall on Black Wood Cliff and met Elder Tong Baixiong who was guarding that place.

He recognized Ren Woxing at once and was about to shout loudly.

Ren Woxing suddenly extended his hand, inhaling with a whoosh!

A gust of Xun Wind swept the ground, drawing Tong Baixiong directly in front of Ren Woxing, but it was clear that Tong Baixiong was no easy opponent. He quickly reacted, using all his might to break free from the suction, swiftly drawing his blade and slashing at Ren Woxing’s arm.

Ren Woxing had no choice but to step back.

In retreating.

Tong Baixiong gained a moment of freedom, and with a loud shout.

The sound split the air.

Before long, there was a clamor!

Groups of people rushed over, surrounding the area.

Tong Baixiong laughed heartily:

"Ren Woxing, how few of you are there? Yet you dare to boldly come to our Sun and Moon Divine Sect’s headquarters to meet your death."

"Elder Tong."

Xiaang Wentian stepped forward, saying:

"We might be few. But take a look at who’s beside me."

He pointed at Ding Ling.

Tong Baixiong glanced over, examining carefully, and couldn’t help but be greatly surprised:

"The world’s number one, Ding Ling, Hero Ding, who’s recently making waves across the world?"

"Precisely."

Ren Woxing laughed heartily, saying:

"Elder Tong, since you know it’s Hero Ding in person, you should understand his strength. Do you think these mere soldiers can harm him? Don’t invite trouble. Don’t do such suicidal things!"

"Hero Ding."

Tong Baixiong was a tall man just over eight feet, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Though aged, his tiger-like eyes were full of vigor, and his energy was no weaker than that of young men in their prime.

He stared at Ding Ling, with caution, wariness, and a hint of warning:

"Our Sun and Moon Divine Sect and you, we do not interfere with each other, I hope you won’t wade into these muddy waters and ask for trouble!"

"I came this time to fulfill a promise."

Ding Ling said calmly:

"Elder Tong, there’s no need for excessive obstruction. After my battle with Dongfang Bubai, regardless of victory or defeat, I will leave Black Wood Cliff immediately."

In the back, Ren Yingying’s sparkling eyes were fixed only on Ding Ling.

Hearing Ding Ling say he came to fulfill a promise.

Her heart couldn’t help but stir with ripples, finding it hard to calm down for a long while.

"Heh heh."

Elder Tong sneered:

"No matter what, I can’t allow you all to break into the main hall and disturb the Sect Leader!"

"I greatly admire your integrity and character."

Ren Woxing took the initiative to strike again.
