Yang Dingtian smiled and asked,
Then, what about other highlights?

Since it was Yang Dingtian who took the initiative to change the subject, the magnificent warrior regained his composure, stood up, and said,
The second thing is something that matters to everyone in the world, and that is the Sect Head, Dongfang Niemie…

At this moment, the magnificent warrior bowed towards the East, full of admiration and respect. It seemed like he held infinite admiration towards Dongfang Niemie.

Whether or not Dongfang Niemie has ended his decade of secluded cultivation. Whether he would come out and allow the people to admire his holy visage.
The magnificent warrior suddenly looked wistful and longing.
Ten years ago, Dongfang Niemie was the best in the world. He was number one in the world but still cultivated in seclusion. The day he reappears will definitely be the day he breaks through the mundane and becomes immortal. He will not only be the number one warrior in the world but also be the strongest warrior in history.

Although this magnificent warrior bragged a lot, Yang Dingtian could definitely see that his admiration and respect towards Dongfang Niemie was real! Furthermore, when he talked about Dongfang Niemie, everyone in the carriage held their breaths.

What about the third issue?
Yang Dingtian then asked.

Of course, the third issue would be the battle between the Lord of Cloud Sky City and the Head of the Yin Yang Sect,
 the magnificent warrior answered.
Yang Dingtian was shocked.
Ximen City Lord is going to the Yin Yang Sect for a fight?


Come on! We call it a battle. Calling it a fight is so old fashioned.
He rolled his eyes at Yang Dingtian and asked,
Do you know of Ximen Wuya, the City Lord from Cloud Sky City?

Yang Dingtian replied,
I just know a little.


It’s normal to know of him. Ximen City Lord is one of the world’s Gurus. His fame should have spread far,
the magnificent warrior declared.
But, an unsophisticated warrior like you probably doesn’t know about the grudge between Cloud Sky City and the Yin Yang Sect. Four hundred years ago, there were two peerless heroes, Yang Yunxiao and Leng Wuyan. Yang Yunxiao was aggressive like fire while Leng WuYan was cold like ice. They were one Yin and one Yang, a combination that no one in the world could defeat.


However, neither of them would concede to the other. Each wanted to inherit the position of Sect Head. After their master died, they started to fight. It was a close match, but Yang Yunxiao lost. He couldn’t bear to stay anymore so he left the Yin Yang Sect. Then, he founded Cloud Sky City using his own name and claimed that he represented the true Yin Yang Sect and would one day supplant the one he’d left.

In just a decade, Cloud Sky City became stronger than ever, even stronger than second-rate sects. However, it was founded by a traitor of the Yin Yang Sect. Although it was strong, it was not listed in the World’s Famous Factions and was not respected by people at all. Therefore, Yang Yunxiao would challenge the Yin Yang Sect once every ten years, but each time, he lost by merely one move. After losing a third time, he got mad and tried to forcefully wash his veins, which killed him by causing his entire body to explode. Such a hero died at such a young age.


After Yang Yunxiao’s death, Cloud Sky City became weaker with each succeeding generation. However, the Lord of Cloud Sky City still had to challenge the Yin Yang Sect every ten years for the legitimacy of the true sect. In the beginning, it seemed like there was hope, but Cloud Sky City became weaker and weaker, while the Yin Yang Sect became stronger and stronger. Several decades after the founder’s death, the Lord of Cloud Sky City couldn’t even defeat a third generation disciple of the Yin Yang Sect and became a laughingstock. Each successive decade, the Lord of Cloud Sky City would head to the Yin Yang Sect to submit and to pay respects to his ancestors. Even if they were to eventually become just a small division within the Yin Yang Sect, they still do not wish to become a nobody in the world.


The Yin Yang Sect is so proud and arrogant. Even if the Lord of Cloud Sky City got down on his knees to ask for mercy, he would only be disgracing himself further. Therefore, the once-a-decade Yin Yang Sect Big Festival is also the day for Cloud Sky City Lord’s humiliation,
the magnificent warrior explained with a disdainful smile.
Yang Dingtian suddenly recalled what Ximen Wuya had said. He had said that he was going to the Yin Yang Sect for routine business and would probably be humiliated. Yang Dingtian didn’t understand his meaning until now. Now, he felt pretty sad for Ximen Wuya.

Twenty years ago, the previous Cloud Sky City’s Lord, Yang Lie, made a decision that completely changed Cloud Sky City’s destiny. He decided not to pass his position of City Lord to his son. Instead, he stood his ground against popular opinion and passed the position to the son-in-law who had married in, Ximen Wuya.
The magnificent warrior continued,
Son-in-law. Usually, only the most useless people would marry into and live with their wives’ families. However, Yang Lie’s wise decision has increased Cloud Sky City prestige, allowing its reputation to grow again.


Ximen Wuya possesses peerless talent. At the age of forty, he has already an unmatched fighter and has beaten the enemies that humiliated Cloud Sky City before. He’s also cowed all the Martial Schools within 1000 kilometers of Cloud Sky City. In a short ten years, he’s turned Cloud Sky City into the regional overlord who no one would dare contend with. There is no competitor who can fight Ximen Wuya. He is a genius found only once every hundred years. Based on his capabilities, sooner or later, he will come to challenge the Yin Yang Sect to seize back the position of Master that they lost several hundred years ago. Unfortunately, he had pretty bad luck when he last came for a challenge. He met the once-in-a-millennium Yin Yang Sect Master, Dongfang Niemie. Ten years ago, the Lord of Cloud Sky City came to the Yin Yang Sect to challenge Dongfang Niemie, but it was regrettable that he lost to a single move!


After Ximen Wuya was defeated, he returned to Cloud Sky City and worked hard day and night to increase his cultivation by a level. The Master of the Yin Yang Sect even entered seclusion for ten years to cultivate himself. Therefore, this battle is definitely going to be a top level fight and attract worldwide attention,
the magnificent warrior narrated in admiration.
Everyone in the carriage was riveted by this account, each filled with anticipation towards this heaven-startling fight. The only exception was Yang Dingtian, who knew that this battle was not going to happen because his Master, Dongfang Niemie, had already perished.
He didn’t expect that the two most famous Gurus were the two people closest to him. This made Yang Dingtian sigh uncomfortably in his heart.
For a moment, the carriage was silent due to everyone being lost in fascination regarding the two top Gurus. The girl in red looked at Yang Dingtian and suddenly spoke in a low voice,
You can sit a little closer to me. Sitting like that is way too uncomfortable.


Alright, sure!
Yang Dingtian smiled. Then, he shifted a little closer to the girl in red but still kept a small distance between them.

The girl then moved her waist and buttocks, wanting to give him a little bit more room, but her buttocks accidentally brushed against Yang Dingtian’s body. She felt like she’d been electrically shocked, and her earlobes turned red.
Yang Dingtian suddenly felt something soft, bouncy and wonderfully elastic brush against him. His face and ears turned red, and he didn’t know what to say.
The magnificent warrior saw this and became even more jealous. He yelled at the old man,
Hey, old man, your daughter is making a move on a man. I’m afraid that you’re going to have a son-in-law soon.

The girl in red felt ashamed and angry. She lifted her head and said,
You, you’re talking nonsense…

Yang Dingtian’s expression turned cold.
Buddy, I held you in high esteem since you are a junior in a famous family. I courteously paid you my respects. It’s fine if you’re playing a joke on me but please do not bring any disaster to her. I’m just a nobody who doesn’t care about his own reputation, but this girl is pure and innocent. Her reputation should not be tarnished like this. You are a junior from a famous family. I believe you should have a decent character. So please, I ask that you apologize to this young girl.

The magnificent warrior was crushed by Yang Dingtian’s words. He wanted to get angry but the situation didn’t allow for it as Yang Dingtian kept calling him a junior from a famous family. He laughed awkwardly and said,
It was my bad. I shouldn’t have joked around like that.

Yang Dingtian then replied seriously but also teasingly,
Buddy, you’re truly a junior from a famous family. You’re simple-mannered and also open-minded.

The girl in red then looked at Yang Dingtian with her beautiful eyes. Those eyes became even more prominent, and she said in a low voice,
Thank you.

That old man didn’t get angry at all. He simply added,
Well, it doesn’t matter. She’s just a rural unrefined woman. Causing everyone to ridicule her…

Seeing the scenario turn awkward, Yang Dingtian quickly changed the subject.
Buddy, is there any other major event that you can share with us to broaden our knowledge?

The magnificent warrior hesitated for a while and then showed a mysterious expression on his face before saying,
What I’m about to say is not a big issue but a secret. However, I truly cannot disclose it because it is a big secret. It should not be shared…

On the surface, he was saying that he couldn’t say anything. However, he was attentively watching Yang Dingtian and the others, waiting for them to beg him to share.
However, Yang Dingtian instead replied,
Since you’re not allowed to share it, then we shouldn’t continue discussing it and make it difficult on you.

The magnificent warrior pretended to be conflicted but ultimately couldn’t help it and said with a weird smile,
The matter I’m going to talk about, you guys must never tell anyone else. Otherwise, I will be in big trouble. It is about the marriage of Ms. Dongfang.

Yang Dingtian’s complexion slightly changed. Was Ms. Dongfang going to get engaged?

Is Ms. Dongfang going to get engaged?
Yang Dingtian asked.

No, no…
The magnificent warrior shook his head and then looked left and right as if worried someone else would overhear. Then, he continued to talk in a low voice,
This time, the Master of Xuan Sky Sect, Zhu Qingzhu brought his son, Zhu Hongxue, to the Yin Yang Sect. While it appears like he is just participating in the festival, he is, in fact, seeking an engagement with the Yin Yang Sect.

The muscles on Yang Dingtian’s forehead trembled as he asked,
What is this Zhu Hongxue like?

The magnificent warrior was full of envy and frustration, but there was also a bit of admiration.
He’s the number one young expert in the world, the world’s most beautiful man, and the world’s number one family heir. What else can be said?

Yang Dingtian recalled the Xuan Sky Sect’s awe-inspiring authority at sea. According to this warrior, Dongfang Bingling was the world’s most beautiful woman, and Zhu Hongxue was the world’s most beautiful man. Both were heirs to the most famous families in the world. It truly seemed like they were a perfect match.

But, it won’t be easy for Zhu Hongxue to succeed.
The magnificent warrior explained,
A junior from the Yin Yang Sect, Leng Ao, is madly in love with Ms. Dongfang. His family background isn’t inferior to Zhu Hongxue’s. His ancestor several generations ago had inherited the position of Yin Yang Sect Master. He is also the nineteenth generation direct-line descendant of Leng Wuyan. His appearance and cultivation aren’t worse than Zhu Hongxue’s. People expect him to become the next Yin Yang Sect Master. Furthermore, he is childhood friends with Ms. Dongfang. Therefore, it can be said that he has a higher chance than Zhu Hongxue.


Thus, it isn’t that easy for Zhu Hongxue to get engaged to the beauty,
the magnificent warrior concluded.
Yang Dingtian was discomfited, yet he nodded and agreed with what was said. However, he lost any interest in conversing with others.
This magnificent warrior still kept on bragging. He bragged about how many people he knew from the Yin Yang Sect, bragged that he was able to call even Leng Ao his senior. He also bragged about how important he was in the Northwest Qin family and many other things. Yang Dingtian merely listened courteously but didn’t put pay too much attention to him.
After the carriage traveled for two hours…

Stop, stop…
the magnificent warrior suddenly shouted to stop the carriage. He then said to Yang Dingtian,
Buddy, it feels like we are already old friends after our first encounter. If you ever run into any trouble, you can always come to the Northwest Qin Family and look for me!

Then, he hurriedly exited the carriage.
Yang Dingtian asked doubtfully,
Have we arrived at the Yin Yang Sect?
