Chapter 455 Horrifying Suppression of the Ancient City

Ai Qing was stunned.

He came from a big sect like Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect so he naturally knew many things. At one glance, he recognized Ding Hao was holding the extremely rare Heaven-Earth Blood Bone in the hand.

A piece of Heaven-Earth Blood Bone meant a Magic Skill!

Ai Qing did not expect that the young boy opposite who looked like he was only in one-apertured great grandmaster realm could possess that. He actually had that kind of treasure. One must know that during Ai Qings stay on Sage Battlefield, because he was busy with the plan of the sect, he did not have the time to hunt those magical Kings Stage Ominous Beasts, not gaining a piece of Heaven-Earth Blood Bone. Therefore, at that time, seeing it, Ai Qing could not help coveting it.

Moreover, Ai Qing also noticed that when the young boy took out the piece of Heaven-Earth Blood Bone from the Storage Ring, he was rather casual, which meant that he did not care about the piece. Probably, in his storage space, there were many more Heaven-Earth Blood Bones.

Thinking about that, Ai Qing felt much happier.

He turned around to say something to his companions beside him. The three argued for a little while, and then Ai Qing took the piece of Heaven-Earth Blood Bone, saying with a nod. Alright. Remember, you can only stay for one night. Leave immediately in tomorrow morning, or dont blame us for being ruthless.

Ding Hao nodded and smiled, Thats for sure. Thank you for your kindness.

After that, he ignored the urgent gesturing of those including Tian Neng and Li Ting and followed the three people including Ai Qing, heading to the ancient troop station down below.

Tian Neng whispered by Ding Haos years, Brother Hao, you really shouldnt have come here Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect is famous for being ruthless in Sword Province. Those disciples are all cruel and selfish and will do anything to get what they want. I dont think that Ai Qing looks kind. Hes definitely not some nice guy. If we follow him in, Im afraid well be like sheep in a tigers den. I guess one piece of Heaven-Earth Blood Bone cant satisfy those Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect disciples.

While observing the ancient city troop station, Ding Hao tried to smooth things over. Oh, yeah? I think they look kind

Tian Neng and Li Ting could only smile wryly.

It looked like though capable, their Brother Hao was, after all, young and did not experience the wildness trial. He believed others too easily and tonight there might be big trouble. They could only hope that those Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect disciples only wanted money. If those Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect disciples attacked and robbed them of treasures, they could at least survive.

The five people did not believe that Ding Hao could single-handedly defeat all the geniuses of Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect.

It was said that this time, Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect obtained 67 places on Sage Battlefield. Everyone one of their selected disciples was superior with terrifying power. Among them, there was also their most outstanding young genius in the recent 100 years, Ning Xiaohu Scar of Heaven. It was said he had stepped into Martial Emperor Realm long ago.

How did Ding Hao not notice the expressions of his five servants?

However, he did not feel like pointing it out.

Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect might be terrifying, but friends whereabouts were more important.

Pleasantly surprised, Ding Hao found the silver ring flashing more and more rapidly and the light more and more obvious after entering the ancient city troop station, which in turn confirmed his previous speculation. There must be Swordsmanship-seeking Sect disciples in the old castle. However, he did not know if they were controlled by Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect people or they had run into other opportunities. He had to find a way to figure it out.

Therefore, before that, he could never do it in a hard way. Otherwise, the plan might fail.

On the way, Ding Hao asked indirectly.

However, the three people including Ai Qing were all careful with what they said, not disclosing anything. Once he asked too much, in turn, Ding Hao would get scolded.

Worried that he might cause them on alert, Ding Hao could only give up for now.

Walking through the gate of the troop station of the old castle, Ding Hao clearly found that extremely strange energy field covered the entire ancient city. The Qi energy inside his body had been severely suppressed. Even having a Saintly Being of Saber and Sword constitution, he was also suppressed to a horrifying extent. Ding Hao secretly calculated that with his Qi cultivation in great grandmaster realm, when he walked through the gate, he was immediately suppressed under the primordial grandmaster realm. He was near six-apertured Great Martial Mentor Realm.

However, Ding Hao soon found that it was not a formation set by Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect.

Because through the scan of his Divine Awareness, he found the Qi cultivation of the three people including Ai Qing also suppressed the moment they walked in. They had dropped from one-apertured Martial King to one-apertured great grandmaster realm.

Soon, Ding Hao found lines of primordial inscriptions on the road under his feet and on the surrounding city walls. They were the same as those he saw on the ships. That was to say, the ancient city troop station must have owned the strange energy field itself since ancient times. After so many years, they did not dissipate completely. Instead, they were still absorbing the rich power elements between heaven and earth, sustaining the energy field of the entire old castle.

Under the constraint of such a power field, flying became extremely difficult.

The group of people was all walking on foot.

Ding Hao could expand Divine Awareness 10 meters away, which was a limit. He silently speculated that in the same condition, people including Ai Qing probably could not release Divine Awareness inside their bodies at all. They were probably all suppressed by the omnipresent inscription formations of the ancient city troop station.

It was a benefiting condition for Ding Hao.

He could scan the surroundings with Divine Awareness at will, not afraid of being discovered by others.

On the way, Ding Hao found many inscription formations set by Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect too. They were all well concealed. Moreover, some capable people hid at the end of some critical roads, seeming to guard against something

It was about 15 minutes later.

Ai Qing said in an unkindly way, Here it is. You stay here today. Remember, dont run around. Dont walk 1,000 meters away. Otherwise, dont blame us if you lose your lives.

The group of people including Tian Neng nodded obediently.

Obviously, they felt too that their strength had been greatly suppressed and they felt even more scared inside.

Ding Hao did not say anything and kept observing the surroundings.

It was a small square of about seven to eight mu. Around the square, there were some two-story buildings made of black stones, and he could only make out the outlines roughly. It was square and vine and moss plants were growing in the breaches in the ground floors and walls. However, no dirt accumulated. It could be seen that back then when the ancient city troop station was built, it was built for practical defense. Every building was made of very solid stones. In the center of the square, there was a living well, where fresh well water was oozing out. The water flowed along a few old ditches.

Apart from the three people including Ai Qing, there was also another group of about a dozen Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect disciples. They had set magical weapons and tents in the small square for temporary rest.

Seeing the people including Ding Hao, a bearded and muscular man in white swordsman robe shouted some questions out loud. Ai Qing hurriedly trotted and whispered a few explanations beside his ears. After hearing Ai Qing out, the bearded and muscular man in white robe looked at the group of Ding Hao as if they were swine on butchers board. He said nothing and turned back to his tent.

Tian Neng couldnt help suggesting in a low voice. Brother Hao, this doesnt look nice. Wed better leave now!

Ding Hao calmly sat down to rest. While observing the surroundings, he smiled, Were already here. Do you think we can leave now?

Tian Neng was slightly stunned. Brother Hao You Youve found out long ago Then why did you still

Ding Hao looked down at the silver ring which was still flickering with weak light and smiled, I have my own reasons, so I came in And you shouldnt worry either. Here we are. We just need to be careful. Go rest now. Theres something important I need to ask you to do later.

Hearing Ding Hao saying like, the five people including Tian Neng and Li Ting could finally feel a little relieved.

It turned out Brother Hao had seen the strangeness long ago. If that was so, then it meant that he must have had a plan, right?

The five people exchanged glances and then started to set up a tent on the spot. Though having only followed Ding Hao for a short few days, they
