Supreme Emperor of Swords

It was incredible for a person’s prestige to reach such heights. Even at the peak of his prestige in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect of Snow Province, the adulation Ding Hao had received could not be compared with this man’s before his eyes.

“Your junior is Ding Hao. I’m from the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect in Snow Province, of the Northern Region.” Ding Hao sounded quite respectful too.

For this hero who had been safeguarding the Human Clan for countless years on this dangerous land, preserving their lineages, everyone should give him some respect.

“Snow Province…” Gu Qingyu’s expression froze. He looked Ding Hao up and down several times and asked, “Is your surname Ding?”

“Yes.” Ding Hao’s heart missed a beat. Did Gu Qingyu know something?

Unexpectedly, Gu Qingyu’s complexion soon resumed its former color. He said, “There are so many strong warriors in the Northern Region, all big-hearted and valiant. You indeed live up to your name as their representative. I’ve heard everything about you. Since you didn’t kill any of them, why didn’t you explain to these people? And why did you make such a big fuss over things?”

Ding Hao said calmly, “Even if I’m willing to explain, I’m afraid they won’t listen. Since they want to kill me without any good reason, they ought to suffer a bit.”

“This young lad is quite arrogant.” Gu Qingyu smiled slightly and said, “Although you didn’t kill those people, their deaths must have something to do with you, or you wouldn’t have been made the scapegoat. Come with me to Super Heaven Pavilion. I will dispatch men to investigate this case and give you back justice.”

Gu Qingyu implied that he was inclined to believe Ding Hao.

These words, spoken from his mouth, basically brought this incident to an end.

The final conclusion to this matter.

Those people were not killed by Ding Hao.

Even those warriors in the Divine Central Continent who still doubted Ding Hao would definitely believe Gu Qingyu. Since Gu Qingyu had said this, it meant that Ding Hao was completely free from the charge of being a maniacal murderer.

In the eyes of many martial artists of the Divine Central Continent, Gu Qingyu was doing Ding Hao a big favor, promising to investigate this case through the Super Heaven Pavilion.

The Moonlight Fairy’s complexion changed slightly.

Things were developing in the opposite direction from what she had expected. According to the organization’s intelligence, Gu Qingyu, the black-faced killer, should not be so easy to talk to. Yet now, why was he speaking to Ding Hao so kindly?

There was something strange in this.

Why was it that each time this young man from the Northern Region got involved in a matter, some qualitative change would occur, making it impossible for her to act?

It would be terrible if the Super Heaven Pavilion really came forward to investigate this matter.

Unexpectedly, at this precise moment—

“Thank you for your kindness, Senior Gu, but I have other things to do. I’m sorry, but I can’t go to the Super Heaven Pavilion with you.” Ding Hao cupped his hands in a salute, rejecting Gu Qingyu’s offer.

Even Gu Qingyu was a little stunned. He did not expect himself to be rejected.

“How long has it been since someone dared to disobey me?”

Even the Moonlight Fairy showed surprise on her face. For a brief moment, she really could not understand why Ding Hao had rejected this big favor from Gu Qingyu.

But in the next moment, the long sword in Ding Hao’s hand was pointing at her.

“It’s all because of this demoness, making trouble behind my back. If I kill her today, all these grievances and hatred will disappear,” Ding Hao said firmly.

The Moonlight Fairy soon composed herself and said with a smile, “There must be proof for everything. Ding Hao, you say that I’m the mastermind, the main culprit, but what proof do you have?” She was smiling very confidently. Even if Ding Hao had some information with him, no one would believe him unless there was proof.

She firmly believed that the image she had built up in the Divine Central Continent over these years would not be wrecked by Ding Hao’s one-sided accusation.

Yet—

“What proof do I need to kill a vicious demoness?” Ding Hao burst out laughing and said, “If I say that you’re the chief culprit, then you must be that. If I want to kill you, you’ll have to die. Why do I need to prove anything to the others?”

The Moonlight Fairy’s complexion instantly changed.

It was the first time she had encountered such a difficult opponent, who did not play by the rules.
