People soon helped the wounded people who practiced physical cultivation get up and the latter went away to be treated. Now the merits of physical cultivation could be seen. Although the enemy had used immense power to launch a sudden attack, the several people who practiced physical cultivation were not seriously injured.

“Enough. I won’t hold you responsible for other issues. The bitch from the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe, come out!” said the middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress in a cold voice.

Nalan Chu’s expression changed. She at once realized something.

These people were coming for her and her brother.

She was about to say something, but Ding Hao gently pressed her shoulder and smiled faintly. Then he looked up at the people from the Nalan family. His eyes were as bright as lightning. He said, “Old witch, who the hell are you? How dare you be so rude in our Red Stone Manor?”

Ding Hao would never give in to his enemies, be it verbally or tactically.

The two words ‘old witch’ seemed to have hit a sore spot, causing the middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress to instantly fly into a rage.

“You’re courting death!” Her movement was incredibly fast. She was slamming her palm on Ding Hao.

The strong wind whistled, and the air suddenly seemed to be solidified. Everyone seemed to have difficulty breathing. The middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress turned out to be a master at the peak of Completion Sage Realm. She was only half a step away from becoming a God Realm Master.

Ding Hao flicked in the void with his left hand and held the Devil Saber. He activated the forbidden power in it and in the meanwhile launched an attack with his right palm.

Boom!

A strong wind was blowing in all directions. The air exploded on that spot and was expanding.

The middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress flew backward and landed on the original spot.

She looked extremely surprised. She didn’t expect that when she attacked with her palm, there would be someone who could fight back in this small manor. The situation was different from the information she had received before.

Ding Hao put away his Devil Saber in an instant with no expression on his face.

At the moment when they both used their palms to attack each other, a stream of blood almost spurted out of his throat.

Ding Hao, who had just woken up, had not completely recovered his Qi and physical strength. He was weak at this time. If he had not used the power of the Devil Saber to fight back, he would be defeated today. Even so, in fact, Ding Hao had suffered some internal injuries from her blow with her palm.

Even the Tenth Divine Prince in the Semi God Realm was almost killed by him. He didn’t expect that he was almost defeated by a woman in the Completion Sage Realm. Ding Hao was a little gloomy.

The young man whose face was black and blue covered his face and whispered something into the ear of the middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress.

The middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress nodded and turned to look at Ding Hao. She said coldly, “It turns out that you are the leader of these barbarians in the Vast Ocean. You have some means and your intentions are vicious. You want to take that bitch to our Nalan family. Do you really think that you can get the status and wealth of our Nalan family by supporting that bitch?”

Ding Hao laughed loudly and said, “The status and wealth of the Nalan family are nothing. In my eyes, they are worthless. However, you and your men have broken the gate of my manor and have hurt my guards today. None of you can leave today. Let the Nalan family come to redeem you.”

“We can’t leave because of you?” The middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress sneered.

Ding Hao nodded. “Yes. Because of me.”

As soon as Ding Hao finished speaking, golden lines suddenly spread out from his feet. Each golden line was a line of a Chinese inscription poem, which looked like a living golden dragon. In just a moment, the entire Red Stone Manor was covered by golden lines. The manor was surrounded by a kind of undefeatable terrifying aura.

It was the inscription tactical deployment.

Every time Ding Hao went to a place, the defense arrangement was the most important thing. After arriving at the Red Stone Manor, he set up a lot of inscription tactical deployments in the manor quite early. They were interconnected and one layer was covering another. These tactical deployments had been absorbing the power tides between heaven and earth day and night these days. Their power was constantly growing. The Land of Divine Grace was a world full of power tides, so these tactical deployments were enough to trap the master at the peak of Completion Sage Realm.

Lines of golden Chinese characters flickered as they enveloped the Red Stone Manor.

The middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress and the others felt that the scenery in front of them changed. Everything disappeared and in an instant, there was only darkness around them. The surrounding space was like a lonely and cold void, dotted with distant starlight. It seemed that they had suddenly been sent to the starry outer space. In the depths of the distant darkness, a huge black hole was slowly rotating, releasing a horrible suction force.

“It’s an illusionary formation. Be careful. Don’t panic…” The middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress shouted, and the next moment, she was stunned again.

All the masters by her side had disappeared. She was the only one left in the starry sky.

What a tricky illusionary formation!

The middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress was alarmed in her heart. She immediately realized that this tactical deployment was not simple. Earlier, the masters from the Nalan family were only one or two meters away from her, but in the blink of an eye, she couldn’t sense them at all. Probably they were already lost in the tactical deployment. She decided that she had to be careful. Her Divine Senses spread out and she was on full alert.

Boom!

She struck out with a palm.

Like a real dragon, the terrible power blasted the infinite starry sky in front of her. The power was enough to destroy the entire Red Stone Manor in an instant.

But there was only a flash of black shimmer in the void. The black hole expanded slightly and instantly swallowed the real dragon-like Qi wave.

“This… is not just an illusionary formation. It can devour my power?” The middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress felt it was something terrible.

A tactical deployment that could devour power was more terrifying than an illusionary formation. If the power she launched could not reach the critical point of this tactical deployment, it would be absorbed by the latter and become its own use. The more she struggled, the deeper she would sink into it.

“How did these barbarians from the Ocean Forest master such a profound inscription tactical deployment? Damn it, I’m in trouble today…” The middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress was a little flustered.

“Humph, can you be called a hero if you just trap me with a tactical deployment? It turns out that the people who practiced physical cultivation in the Ocean Forest are just a group of cowards. Come out and fight with me if you dare!” She shouted, trying to provoke Ding Hao to show up and fight with her.

“Leave these people alone. Just trap them inside and exhaust them for a period of time.” Ding Hao gave an order.

Shan Xiong and the others immediately took the order.

In the eyes of the crowd, the middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress stood in the same place in a daze, but she couldn’t see them. Their eyes were completely unfocused and they were looking into the distance. There was a look of horror on their faces. They were struggling desperately, but the power of their attack was completely absorbed by the surrounding golden lines. They couldn’t escape at all.

The means of the Celestial Master was truly unfathomable.

The people who practiced physical cultivation gasped in admiration again.

“Ask some people to watch over them. Don’t go into the tactical deployment to fight with them. Deal with them when I’m on the other side of the pass.” Ding Hao made some arrangements and took out some elixirs. He asked Shan Xiong to use them to heal the wounded people who practiced physical cultivation. Then he turned around and left the front hall with Nalan Chu and her brother.

The tactical deployment set up in the Red Stone Manor was a new kind of illusionary formation created by Ding Hao. It possessed the essence of the extremely brilliant Starry River Boundary Formation in the Towering Buddha Pagoda. It did not have much defensive function, but once one entered it, he would get lost. If one bombarded the tactical deployment from the inside, his power would be absorbed by it and be converted into its own power. The harder the trapped person was struggling, the deeper he would be trapped in the tactical deployment. It would be very difficult for him to get out.

Ding Hao named it the Starry River Illusionary Formation.

The Starry River Illusionary Formation in the Red Stone Manor was Ding Hao’s masterpiece. It had absorbed the energy between heaven and earth for so many days. It was so powerful that it could resist a blow from a master at the initial stage of God Realm. With the strength of the middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress, it was impossible for her to break it open. The masters of the Nalan family could not escape from it.

For Ding Hao, the most urgent thing was to use his skills to heal his wounds and restore his strength. He would make up for the consumed power.

When his strength was fully restored, Ding Hao would not take a Completion Sage Realm Master like the middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress seriously at all.

On the way back—

“Master, have I caused you trouble again?” asked Nalan Chu timidly.

The middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress and the others were obviously coming for her.

The people from the Nalan family were really ruthless. After such a long time, they were still hunting her down. To tell the truth, during this period of time, Nalan Chu no longer wanted that much to go back and recognize her father. The little girl was bitterly disappointed at the Nalan family’s attitude. She did not want to go back to that cold-blooded family.

“No. Take good care of your brother and practice hard. Leave everything else to me,” said Ding Hao with a smile.

For this little disciple, Ding Hao had a special feeling of sympathy for her.

“Master, shall I tell those people that I won’t return to the Nalan family and don’t want to recognize my father? Tell them not to disturb us again,” said Nalan Chu clenching her small fists.

“Silly girl.” Ding Hao touched the little girl’s head. He shook his head and said, “Those people have been blinded by greed. They won’t believe your words at all. Even if you give up, they will still try their best to assassinate you. They want to kill you. Everything in this world is decided by strength. What’s more…”

Ding Hao stopped talking and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

He sneered and said, “What’s more, why do you give up what you actually deserve? Who do the people from the Nalan family think they are? How dare they make things difficult for my disciple again and again? Since they care so much about their status and wealth, you have to get them mercilessly. Then you abandon what you get from them like trash and trample on them. You will tell them with your actions that everything they care about is nothing in your eyes… Haha, only in this way will they really believe you.”

Nalan Chu nodded thoughtfully.

No matter what Ding Hao had said, she trusted him very much.

Returning to the secretive training room in the manor, Ding Hao set up an Aura-collecting Defensive Tactical Deployment.

“Ah…” As soon as he sat cross-legged on the rush cushion, he spat out a mouthful of black blood.

The palm strike from the middle-aged woman in a luxurious dress had seriously injured Ding Hao. If he were in his heyday, Ding Hao would not have been in such a distressed state. Unfortunately, in the previous battle in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Ding Hao had used up almost all his strength to activate the Devil Saber and the Rusted Sword to the extreme. When he just woke up, he seemed to have just recovered from a serious illness. He had taken a beating.

After spitting out that mouthful of extravasated blood, Ding Hao felt much more comfortable.

After swallowing a mysterious elixir given by Ximen Qianxue, it melted in his mouth. Like nectar, its efficacy penetrated Ding Hao’s limbs and bones.

Running the Invincible Fighting Method, Ding Hao began to refine the elixir and absorb the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth.
