Many people beside him were looking at Li Yunqi enviously.

  It was a great honor to be called brother by Ding Hao in front of so many people.

  Although no one knew whether Ding Hao could survive the coming battle against Lu Pengfei, at that moment, many people were deeply impressed by the manner of that young man in a black gown.

  “Thank you, Yiruo.” Ding Hao’s gaze finally fell on the beautiful girl’s face.

  The beauty had lived for three days in the dark cell; her skin was lacking light, water and she looked tired, but the smile on her pretty unparalleled face illuminated the entire room.

  Wearing a red dress, the girl looked like a passionate flame. She laughed and looked straightly at Ding Hao. There was a sparkling light in her beautiful big eyes.

  Beside them, Wang Xiaoqi was excitedly telling Ding Hao what had happened in the cell.

  “Yiruo, thank you.” Ding Hao smiled, reaching out and gently brushing off a few stalks of grass from the girl’s shoulder. Then his fingers moved through her hair, which was as soft and smooth as silk. Their hearts were both touched.

  “Brother Hao……” Li Yiruo gently lowered her head.

  She wanted to say thousands of words but only called his name in the end. The worries, the thoughts, and all the concerns of the past six months had vanished. That beautiful girl who had always dared to do as she said was at the moment unable to do so. She was just looking at him gently.

  At that moment, among the crowd, a man was quietly sneaking away.

  “You must be Jiang Feng!” Ding Hao looked over quickly. He noticed that man immediately.

  “Ding…… Senior Brother Ding ……” Jiang Feng stopped at once. Knowing that he had no chance to slip away, he turned around and smiled, but that smile was uglier than a crying grimace. He was scared and felt cold. Ding Hao called his name at such a moment, which was definitely not a good sign.

  “Senior Brother Ding? Unexpectedly, you think that you are qualified to call me like this?” Ding Hao said quietly, but his words were overbearing. His gentle smile was full of endless killing intent and contempt.

  At that moment, those who were familiar with Ding Hao suddenly felt that he had changed.

  Ding Hao used to be gentle and not overbearing at all, always wearing a smile on his face, constantly willing to think of others. However, he became sharper after returning to the Sect.

  He used to be like a blunt sword that was harmless to humans and animals, but suddenly became sharp and shone with a bright light after a fierce experience.

  “I……” Jiang Feng’s legs were trembling.

  “It is said that you asked Lu Pengfei to send you to guard here. Bah! Since you like to guard the prison, then stay here forever,”


  Ding Hao snapped his finger as he spoke.

  A crystal snowflake, having the world’s most perfect hexagonal shape and refracting the colorful light under the sun, slowly flew out and quickly fell on Jiang Feng’s shoulder.

  All of a sudden, cold air spread with the sound of ice. Before the crowd could act, Jiang Feng’s whole body was covered by ice and became a beautiful human-shaped ice sculpture.

  Under the warm sun of the early spring, that ice sculpture was crystal and vivid, as if it were the most perfect work of an engraving master. Through the ice, the crowd could clearly see the flattering smile on his face.

  He had bent his knees and guarded the door of the prison.

  From then on, he would keep such a gesture and stand at the door of the cell forever.

  Sealed by such bitter frosty ice, no one could survive.

  Therefore, Jiang Feng was already dead.

  An unbearable chill swept by everyone’s hearts. They all could not help but gasp.

  Ding Hao killed a disciple!

  How merciless!

  That was definitely the prelude of a storm.

  As the crystal snowflake flew out, the coming collision had been destined. Everyone clearly knew that there would be an inevitable and unimaginable storm.

  Killing people in public!

  “Is Ding Hao going to overturn the entire Swordsmanship-seeking Sect?”


  “Let’s go, it’s time to meet Lu Pengfei.”


  As if nothing had happened, Ding Hao clapped his hands with a smile on his face, then walked out of the cell. Under the sun, Ding Hao headed in Lu Pengfei’s direction.

  Everyone felt bitterly cold as they saw Ding Hao’s smile……

  There was a footstep outside the door.

  Then there were more and more footsteps.

  The young boys standing quietly in the hall were getting more and more nervous; there was cold sweat on their foreheads. They all knew what it meant to be present in that hall at such a moment and also knew what the footsteps outside meant.

  Lu Pengfei still sat quietly on the cyan futon in the depths of the main hall.

  He slowly opened his eyes; there was a cold smile on his mouth. As the surrounding disciples looked at him, he smiled and said, “Open the gate. Let him in.”


  Zhang Wenzhao nodded and hurried forward to push open the heavy stone gate.

  Thunder! The sunlight could not wait to pour into the palace. The dust particles floating in the air were like dancing demons.

  A slender figure slowly appeared and approached.

  Lu Pengfei’s pupils shrunk.

  He looked up. His throat swayed subconsciously as he swallowed a spit. The familiar figure that made him unable to sleep at night had finally appeared.

  The sun shone from behind the figure, leaving a vague shadow at the front, as if even the sun, at that moment, feared to linger over that person.

  Thud!

  Thud!

  The footsteps in that silent space were clearly heard. Everyone’s hearts could not help but beat along with the footsteps.

  “Ding Hao, you’re finally here.” Lu Pengfei stood up and slowly walked down from the cyan futon.

  The green shirt disciples in the hall looked nervously and shrunk away from Ding Hao, to stand behind Lu Pengfei.

  In the distance, there were many messy sounds flooding in and there were and more and more onlookers. However, they were all standing far outside the hall. For a moment, they dared not stand too close, but all of them were looking forward to what was going to happen.

  The most crucial moment had finally arrived.

  “After half a year, Senior Brother Ding appears to be as elegant and nice as before.” Lu Pengfei’s face was full of smiles as if he had seen a long-time friend.

  Ding Hao stopped.
