Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 120 Tianyuan City

At the beginning of the troubled times, although many heroes and geniuses emerged, only a part of them could resist the attack of the dark army. Most of the small and medium-sized sects, and even some sects with tens of millions of years of inheritance, were crushed and captured by the dark army.

For a time, the entire continent was in a state of panic.

Countless ordinary people and low-level martial artists were in a state of panic all day long, for fear that the places they lived would be destroyed in the next moment.

Most of the martial artists wanted to seek shelter from a large sect. They were willing to pay any price as long as they could survive.

Only the old, weak, sick, and disabled, who couldn’t walk anymore, would stay at home helplessly and wait for death.

The Heaven Path was not the only place where the dark army invaded. The Hell Path, the Hungry Ghost Path, the Beast Path, and the Asura Path were also affected.

Only Earth, the Human Path, where Ding Hao had set up a restriction formation, had not been affected by this dark force. The other five paths had been invaded by the dark force.

The reincarnation of the six paths had not yet been completed, and now there were foreign forces invading it, so it soon became more chaotic.

The Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and the God’s Palace, as well as the White-Robed Divine Palace, and the Immortal Phoenix Palace, were more or less affected by this powerful and almost irresistible dark force. However, the resources behind them allowed them to remain unscathed.

Ding Hao was still in Scenic Rain Town in Ning Province at the moment.

“Alas, did you know that the outside world is currently in chaos…” Elder Wu, who had returned from outside, suddenly gathered all of the people from Scenic Rain Town and spoke with a worried expression.

“Elder Wu, what happened?” Elder Wu, who was in the Martial Sage Realm, said that the situation was chaotic and serious. Naturally, these people from Scenic Rain Town realized the seriousness of the matter.

Elder Wu sighed. “A few days ago, an army suddenly broke in from nowhere. They burned, killed, and plundered everywhere. Many sects and countries were slaughtered by this army…”

“What?!” Hearing this, everyone from Scenic Rain Town was shocked.

Sitting cross-legged at the end, Ding Hao, who was cultivating the power of the five elements, changed his expression slightly and stopped cultivating. He slowly opened his eyes, looked at Elder Wu, and listened to him silently.

“It is said that the army is large in number and extremely powerful. Recently, they have attacked many major forces, including the Heaven Island of the Southern Wilderness, the Great Leiyin Monastery of the Western Desert, the Beast Clan of the Northern Region, and even the White-Robed Divine Palace, the immortal Phoenix Palace, and the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect…”

“Oh my god, where did this army come from? How could they attack so many holy lands of martial arts? Don’t they know that these forces are the most powerful sects in our Heaven Path world…”

“Are you an idiot? They must know that, so they went to attack those forces. But according to my guess, they will definitely be beaten badly, and maybe they will even be eliminated.”

“Well, that’s for sure. You know, the backer of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and the God’s Palace is Imperator Ding. As long as Imperator Ding takes action, those troops will definitely collapse…”

Elder Wu gave a wry smile and shook his head. “I don’t know if Imperator Ding has taken action, but those troops have not been wiped out yet, and they are still thriving. I heard that some of them are now in the Qian Province of the Divine Central Continent. I’m afraid it won’t be long before the Northern Region falls into chaos…”

“What?!”

Hearing this, many people from Scenic Rain Town couldn’t help but panic. All of them looked worried and distressed.

“Ding Tong is really fast. Maybe it’s time for me to walk around…” Ding Hao stopped listening. After muttering, he stood up, turned into a wisp of smoke, and disappeared without attracting anyone’s attention.

Along with him, Evil Moon, who was sleeping not far away, disappeared.

Ding Hao had sealed his strength. Although he had thousands of incarnations traveling on the continent, and even many incarnations had helped sects and towns to block the attack of the dark army, he had always stayed here and never gone out. Because of the seal on his cultivation, he could not receive any information about the invasion of the dark forces.

Now that Ding Hao had learned the news, it was impossible for him to continue to stay here quietly, and he had indeed stayed here for a long time.

…

The Divine Central Continent was originally the hinterland of the continent, a prosperous place. However, because of the news of the invasion of the dark army, many refugees fled to the place where the White-Robed Divine Palace, the most powerful force in the Central Continent, was located.

That was the only hope for the people in the Central Continent.

They had no choice but to flee there.

On the side of the road, a man in linen clothes was crying. He kept kowtowing hard to the pedestrians passing by and begging, “Milords, please save us. My child was seriously injured on the way. It’s inconvenient for him to move, and our carriage is broken… Could you please take us with you? I will definitely repay you with all I have. Please…”

Beside him was a crippled young man with a pale face and cracked lips. He was lying in front of a broken carriage. Two wheels of the carriage were missing, and even the horses were nowhere to be seen. Obviously, the father and son were unable to move.

Many of the passers-by who were in a hurry were running for their lives. How could they pay attention to this man? Although many of them looked at him sympathetically, they could do nothing to help him.

It was said that the dark army was coming. The dark creatures were besieging the Rain-falling Pavilion and the other major forces. Although they couldn’t seize those forces for the time being while the latter had the support of the White-Robed Divine Palace and the Green Wood Holy Palace, once they succeeded, they would probably keep marching. The people in the towns that would soon be targeted by the dark army surely didn’t dare to stay where they were.

All along the way, smoke and dust surged while countless figures surged forward like a swarm as they wanted to seize the opportunity before the dark army arrived to flee with all their might.

The man in linen was still begging, but he still got no response. Just as he was disheartened and thinking about other ways, a voice suddenly came to his ears, which seemed to give him hope again.

“Uncle, let me help you!” A man in a cyan robe with a full beard and a gray cat on his shoulder smiled and reached out his hand.

“Thank you, thank you…” When the man in linen heard the words, his eyes were filled with joy, and he hurriedly thanked the man in cyan repeatedly with a crying tone.

The man in cyan smiled and nodded. He took out two things that seemed to be wheels from nowhere and put them on the carriage quickly. Then, he even got a horse and attached it to the carriage so that they could travel smoothly. At the same time, he came to the son of the man in linen, took out a medicinal pill, and let him take it with water.

The man in linen shed tears of gratitude when he saw this. He felt that he had met a benefactor, so he thanked the man in cyan again and again.

After the man in cyan exhaled slightly, he turned to the man in linen and asked some questions about the dark army, including the nearby forces. Under the grateful and surprised gaze of the man in linen, he went straight to the rear.

In Tianyuan City.

There were four graceful figures with one in the lead on the city gate.

They were looking at the thick smoke and tens of thousands of people rushing over in front of them.

The woman standing at the forefront was the new Saber Mistress of the Saber-drawing Sect, Bing Yurong.

The three female saber warriors next to her were Han Ziyu, Leng Lingfu, and Shuang Bixue, the elders of the Saber-drawing Sect.

“Sister, the world is in chaos now. I heard that the dark army has breached the Wave-hearing Pavilion. I’m afraid they will soon attack our Saber-drawing Sect. Can we resist them then…?” Han Ziyu said with a worried face, “Besides… although you’re doing this out of kindness and don’t want these people to sacrifice themselves, we can’t keep receiving them. After all, Tianyuan City is limited in size, and we can’t keep taking them in…”

The other two women didn’t say anything, but like Han Ziyu, they had sad and worried looks on their faces.

Bing Yurong sighed and said slowly with a firm expression, “I know this, but these people are innocent. If there is a war, the first to suffer is these people. Since we still have strength, why don’t we help them? What’s more, Master has always asked us to be benevolent. If we refuse to let these people enter the city now and turn a blind eye to their life and death, it will violate Master’s belief…”

Hearing this, Han Ziyu paused. She seemed to still want to say something, but she saw Bing Yurong wave her hand, so she could only stop.

On the road to Tianyuan City, figures lingered and smoke and dust spread.

The martial artists with low cultivation rushed straight to Tianyuan City with a trace of worry.

At the foot of the gate of Tianyuan City, hundreds of female disciples of the Saber-drawing Sect were speaking loudly, trying their best to maintain order.

“Young man, where are you from? Why are you in Tianyuan City now? Has your town been breached by the dark army?” An old man on the road asked when he saw a man in a cyan shirt suddenly appear next to him.

“Sort of. So are you, elder?” The man in cyan smiled and did not answer directly.

“Yeah. My hometown is the Fog Rain City thousands of miles away. Half a month ago, the dark army attacked. They killed the young strong men there and even the City Lord in less than half a day. If it weren’t for the City Lord who sent me and other old and weak people out of the town when the war broke out, I’m afraid I would have been dead by then!” the old man said sadly with tears in his old eyes. He was sad to recall what had happened.

The man in cyan patted the old man and comforted him. “Don’t be sad, sir. There is hope as long as one is alive. Look, we are still alive now, and we are about to reach Tianyuan City.”

“You’re right. I have been rushing here for over half a month, and I have finally arrived…

“Alas, I wonder if this place can withstand the invasion of the dark army. If it cannot, I’m afraid that we will die here. It is not that I am afraid of death, but I am currently powerless even if I want to fight. If I were a little younger, I would not need to hide here. I would definitely fight against those monsters…” The old man spoke with a bitter expression.

The man in cyan helped the old man carry his luggage. Like the others next to him, he passed through the huge city gate and slowly stepped into Tianyuan City without attracting anyone’s attention. Maybe in the eyes of others, the man in cyan was also a refugee like them.
