Chapter 331: Hei Baizi’s Fate! The Lingjiu Palace Ruins
That day.
Ding Ling led Huang Zhonggong, Tubi Elder, Dan Qingsheng, Lin Pingzhi, Qu Feiyan, and One-Character Electric Sword Ding Jian out of Mei Manor.
Hei Baizi stayed in Mei Manor to cultivate the Star Absorption Technique.
Huang Zhonggong sighed repeatedly at this.
But it was Hei Baizi’s own choice. After realizing more words were useless, they could only warn him to be wary of Ren Woxing’s revenge.
Hei Baizi, having obtained the Divine Skill, was full of newfound confidence and excitement, paying no heed to Huang Zhonggong’s warnings, only believing that once he successfully cultivated the Star Absorption Technique, he would dominate Jianghu even if he couldn’t surpass Ren Woxing, gaining fame worldwide.
Seeing how obsessed Hei Baizi was with the Star Absorption Technique.
Dan Qingsheng and the others exchanged glances, all feeling wary, unanimously believing it was right not to cultivate the Star Absorption Technique, to avoid ending up like Hei Baizi in a dilemma, which would be too difficult.
It’s known that the first step of the Star Absorption Technique, dispersing one’s martial skills, is fraught with danger and not for the average person. Hei Baizi had just begun dispersing his skills, but already couldn’t easily leave West Lake Mei Manor, needing to sit in meditation here!
If he were to follow Ding Ling around, any distraction might lead to disrupted meridians and mental collapse, resulting in death!
This is why Hei Baizi was unwilling to leave Mei Manor.
Otherwise, he would surely have chosen to latch onto Ding Ling!
On the surface, he appeared calm and confident, but inside he was deeply troubled, somewhat regretting his hasty cultivation of the Star Absorption Technique.
Still, the Star Absorption Technique was the Divine Skill he had long dreamed of, and having suddenly obtained it so easily, he couldn’t resist cultivating it.
But seriously cultivating it.
He found the difficulty unimaginably high.
Ding Ling was leaving Mei Manor, and he couldn’t follow, which was the most painful thing for him, with no support; what would he do in the future?
"Clip-clop!"
Ding Ling’s group rode away on horseback.
Hei Baizi personally escorted them to the gate, standing there until he could no longer see their figures before turning back into Mei Manor, only to unexpectedly encounter a figure flashing out as he entered, who turned out to be Ren Woxing!
Hei Baizi was greatly shocked and was just about to shout.
Whoosh!
A gust of Xun Wind suddenly arose!
Hei Baizi was entirely absorbed by Ren Woxing, his inner strength drained completely by him:
"You actually cultivated my Star Absorption Technique?"
Ren Woxing looked at Hei Baizi with a strange expression, sneering:
"What a pity. Your talent is too mediocre! In a short time, you won’t grasp the method at all! The Star Absorption Technique, meeting you, is like casting pearls before swine! Die!"
In Hei Baizi’s terrified eyes.
Ren Woxing used his palm with full force, bam! With a loud bang, it shattered Hei Baizi’s entire chest.
"Ugh ugh..."
Hei Baizi reached out, seemingly wanting to grab Ren Woxing, but was casually kicked by him, flying tens of meters away, landing heavily, eyes wide open, unable to die in peace.
"Sect Leader."
Xiaang Wentian emerged from one side, glanced at Hei Baizi’s body, and sighed:
"Just killing Hei Baizi like this, won’t it anger Ding Ling?"
"Heh heh."
Ren Woxing sneered:
"Hei Baizi is selfish and has tried many times to get my Star Absorption Technique, even saying to let him have it and he would let me go. With such a nature, how could someone like Ding Ling not see through it?
Hei Baizi was obviously a discarded pawn."
"I don’t think so."
Xiaang Wentian pondered:
"Ding Ling is not a heartless person. With Huang Zhonggong and the others around, if Hei Baizi wanted to follow Ding Ling, he wouldn’t refuse. It’s very likely that he wanted to stay to cultivate the Star Absorption Technique."
"What you say makes sense."
Ren Woxing nodded thoughtfully:
"What a pity. Among the Four Great Manor Masters, only such a foolish person was left. If the others had stayed, I would definitely make them pay, avenging past disgrace!"
Being severely injured by someone like Ding Ling, a rising star.
Ren Woxing felt extremely humiliated!
This was the reason he, in anger, didn’t waste words with Hei Baizi and directly killed him with a strike.
He just wanted to establish authority!
Even in front of Xiaang Wentian, he didn’t want to lose this authority!
"Has Yingying set out?"
Ren Woxing looked at Xiaang Wentian.
Xiaang Wentian nodded:
"The Saintess has already set out from Luoyang. I expect we will hear from her soon."
"I hope Ding Ling doesn’t fail to appreciate this! This is the greatest gesture I can offer!"
Ren Woxing looked in the direction where Ding Ling had departed, filled with jealousy, unwillingness, and urgency.
Jealous of Ding Ling’s talent, martial arts, and skills.
Unwilling to accept being defeated by Ding Ling.
Anxious because time waits for no one as he ages, wanting to unify Jianghu, he must find capable people like Ding Ling to help him have the confidence to defeat Dongfang Bubai!
...
...
Ding Ling’s goal was clear.
To first go to Huashan and learn the Dugu Nine Swords.
As for how to learn it?
When he meets Feng Qingyang, he can find a way. If he can’t even meet him, thinking too much is useless.
To ascertain if Feng Qingyang is at Huashan.
Ding Ling repeatedly logged in and out for investigations.
Confirmed without error.
Only then continued on his journey.
Of course, while logging on and off, he would also use the Achievement Medal to convert his power to the real world.
Presently, in the real world.
He too had become a master with Eight Meridians Connected, and inner strength reaching the Innate realm!
One could say.
Ding Ling’s martial prowess and cultivation level in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer World were identical to that in reality!
Without the blessing of Celestial Might or favor of destiny, it was just so.
However, this was the most ideal and normal state, and Ding Ling was quite content with this. Without favor from destiny, he could still become the world’s number one, complete his quest, and shatter the void to leave.
And during the logging in and out period.
Ding Ling, through hacking and various investigations, discovered quite a few players with excellent opportunities, some even discovering extremely exquisite Martial Arts Skills in the ruins of the Lingjiu Palace in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer World.
To this, Ding Ling could only sigh.
That Lingjiu Palace was too far from his current position. Even if he could fly, it would take a long time, so he could only observe.
However, considering that the Lingjiu Palace ruins dated back so long, it’s incredible that any legacy remains!
But then again, realizing this is a ’mythical game’ world, anything impossible becomes possible.
Ding Ling came to terms with it.
’However, since The Smiling, Proud Wanderer World has the Lingjiu Palace ruins, surely the worlds of Yitian, Divine Eagle, etc. will as well, because they share a lineage!’
Ding Ling didn’t know if he would travel to these worlds in the future.
If he did travel.
He would definitely check out the Lingjiu Palace ruins!
That day.
While Ding Ling and his group were resting in a small town, a woman with a face as beautiful as an immortal rode her horse, somewhat dazedly looking at Ding Ling and his group.
