232. Chapter 229: Makes Me Very Disappointed

Indeed they had already arrived; one after another, flying swords and flying ships kept drawing closer to this place.

Many people knew that on the surface this place was compensation from Alliance Leader Hu to the three great sects; after arriving here, they were only there to watch.

Of course, what each person was thinking inside—no one could know.

"Everyone heed my command—we attack with full force at the same time." Yi Wandao roared, and the Lianyue Halberd in his hand was the first to be sent forth.

At the same time, he also sent a voice transmission to Tan Yanxiao:

"Sect Leader Tan, we can't hold back any longer. If we keep holding back, I reckon we still won't be able to break this place open in a few days."

Without needing Yi Wandao's reminder, Tan Yanxiao would not hold back any longer either.

Several dozen magic treasures blasted out simultaneously, slamming into the sect-protecting formation of Xiagu Sect.

"Crack!" A sound of splitting rang out.

Tan Yanxiao and Yi Wandao both looked at this crack in pleasant surprise—they had actually succeeded this time, blasting open the mountain gate in just one strike.

"Haha…" Hong Tiao, the sect leader of Ten Thousand Beasts Gate, burst into wild laughter.

But his laughter stopped in an instant.

Not only him—even Yanyue Sect's sect leader Yi Wandao and Shuanghun Sect's sect leader Tan Yanxiao were staring at the scene before them in shock.

Before them stood another sect-protecting formation, and above the sect-protecting formation floated three enormous golden characters:

Blue Star Sect.

Ding Huan stood at the sect's entrance with several dozen people, staring coldly at Tan Yanxiao and the others:

"You broke my sect's protecting formation for no reason—do you think you're very powerful, that you can casually ignore the rules of the Dao Cultivation World Sect Alliance?"

"Where did this arrogant little punk come from? Occupying Xiagu's territory and casually hanging up a sect sign—does that make it a new sect?"

Hong Tiao jeered.

He wasn't exactly wrong either—in the Dao Cultivation World, establishing a sect isn't something you do just by hanging up a sign yourself.

It requires obtaining the recognition of the Dao Cultivation World Sect Alliance, and only then can one found a sect.

"You vile slut, so you really were hiding here."

Yi Wandao hadn't taken Ding Huan seriously at all—his very first glance had landed on Guan Qing.

If he didn't torment Guan Qing until she regretted ever coming into this world, he wouldn't be Yi Wandao, and wouldn't deserve to be Yanyue Sect's sect leader.

"Disciples of Yanyue Sect, charge with me!" At Yi Wandao's command, he was the first to rush into Blue Star Sect.

It wasn't carelessness on his part—it was because he truly hadn't taken Ding Huan and these people seriously at all.

In his eyes, the protecting formation outside Xiagu had been set up by people from the Flying Ascension World.

So whether Blue Star Sect had a protecting formation inside had never even been considered by him.

Not to mention Ding Huan being here alone—even if Gu Mo stood before him, he'd still dare to teach Guan Qing a lesson.

Seeing the disciples of Yanyue Sect swarm in after Yi Wandao, how could Tan Yanxiao hesitate even a moment? She didn't even bother speaking before charging in.

This was the moment to seize Xiagu's territory and goods—wait any longer and let Yanyue Sect alone get rich?

The rest of the people, including Hong Tiao, swarmed in even more completely.

The cultivators watching from afar, seeing this scene, all felt secretly envious.

At this moment, some were even thinking—why doesn't this Ding Huan kill one of his own sect's disciples? As long as Ding Huan killed one of their sect's disciples, they could rush in and seize the goods just the same.

Yi Wandao was charging straight at Guan Qing—when he was still more than ten meters from her, he sensed something was off.

The surrounding space wavered, transforming into a hazy scene of killing intent.

Even though the killing momentum had not yet activated, Yi Wandao already felt his Primordial Spirit trembling.

This was absolutely not a fifth-tier trapping-killing formation—it was a genuine sixth-tier trapping-killing formation.

There was a sixth-tier formation grandmaster within Xiagu.

He was only at the Primordial Soul realm—even a fourth-tier trapping-killing grand formation could trap him for a very long time, and a fifth-tier trapping-killing formation could easily kill him with the assistance of the formation's controller.

Facing a sixth-tier trapping-killing grand formation, perhaps the person who set it up wouldn't even need to make a move to easily finish him off.

Yi Wandao retreated frantically.

"Puff puff!" Two blade-gleams shot out from places he had never imagined, drawing two puffs of blood mist from his body.

Yi Wandao dared not move.

If severing both his hands could let him regret this once, he would chop off his own hands without the slightest hesitation.

At this moment, he forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart, cupped his fists, and said:

"Sect Leader Ding, this matter is my fault. I am willing to represent Yanyue Sect in making the greatest compensation to Blue Star Sect."

"Oh, how much will you compensate?" Ding Huan's abrupt voice appeared, and then he saw Ding Huan actually walk into the trapping-killing formation to face him.

Seeing that Ding Huan actually dared to enter the trapping-killing formation and face him, Yi Wandao forcefully restrained the excitement in his heart.

He knew that as long as he grabbed Ding Huan, then today he might really be able to get out.

Ding Huan was the sect leader of Blue Star Sect—the person who set up this trapping-killing grand formation must care greatly about Ding Huan.

"You only have one chance. If what you say doesn't satisfy me, I'll kill you immediately." Ding Huan said lightly.

"I am willing to compensate ten upper-grade spirit veins…"

After Yi Wandao finished saying this, his figure suddenly flashed—in an instant he was at Ding Huan's side, simultaneously reaching out to grab at Ding Huan's neck.

But the moment his hand reached out, he felt a terrifying killing momentum sweep over him.

A blaze of spear-gleams flashed before his eyes, the spear-gleams converging to blast toward his brow.

And that killing momentum actually locked the space he was in, making him unable to move even a fraction.

Yi Wandao let out a wild roar, his true essence exploding madly—the next instant, the space locking his body shattered.

Yi Wandao retreated as if his life depended on it. What made him relieved was that, just now while he was retreating, the trapping-killing formation did not blast out killing-gleams.

But he hadn't even stabilized his stance when the spearlight surged again, gathering the killing intent of space once more.

Yi Wandao dared not entertain any other thoughts—he unleashed a storm of halberd shadows from his Lianyue Halberd.

Boom! The spear and halberd crashed together; the halberd shadows shattered, and the spearlight was also torn apart.

Ding Huan stood again before Yi Wandao, still clutching the Lifeseparation Spear, and said with disappointment:

"I deliberately shut down the trapping killing array just to see how strong a Primordial Soul realm cultivator you are—but I'm deeply disappointed. Have you lived all these years only to become a dog?"

Ding Huan was truly disappointed—even without activating the trapping killing array, he could still kill Yi Wandao, and without even needing to injure him severely.

"You… are Primordial Soul realm." Yi Wandao's face turned pale.

Had he known Ding Huan was Primordial Soul realm, he would never have come here to fight.

He came here ostensibly to kill Guan Cui and erase the Yanyue Sect's family shame, but his true goal was the Purple Mist Valley.

"Heh, is Primordial Soul realm that impressive? Try taking another spear thrust."

As Ding Huan spoke, the Lifeseparation Spear once again unleashed a wave of spear momentum, slamming toward Yi Wandao.

Ding Huan truly longed for one or two strong opponents—perhaps then he could learn the third spear technique of the Nine Divine Arts.

Yi Wandao was clearly far below his standard.

"Lord Ding, I'm willing to make compensation…"

Despair surged in Yi Wandao's heart—even without activating the trapping killing array, Ding Huan was still his superior; once Ding Huan activated it, he would die even faster.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Ding Huan tossed him a crystal ball:

"Write your compensation amount and reason inside. Just like before—you get only one chance."

"Yes."

Yi Wandao quickly responded, snatching the crystal ball and shouting:

"I, Yi Wandao, as Yanyue Sect Sect's leader, attacked the Lanxing Sect's mountain-protection array without cause or understanding of the truth.

The Yanyue Sect will compensate with one top-grade spiritual vein, two mid-grade spiritual veins, and ten low-grade spiritual veins; fifty million top-grade spiritual stones; one thousand third-grade spiritual herbs; one hundred fourth-grade spiritual herbs; and one fifth-grade spiritual herb.

This crystal recording is voluntarily left by me, Yi Wandao, without any objection."

After recording the crystal ball, Yi Wandao tossed it to Ding Huan:

"Lord Ding, as soon as I return, I'll prepare your sect's compensation. Earlier, when I said ten top-grade spiritual veins, I lied—we only have one top-grade spiritual vein in total."

Ding Huan tucked away the crystal ball and said coolly:

"You're thinking too much. Take another spear thrust."

This time, the Lifeseparation Spear unleashed a storm of spear shadows, once again engulfing Yi Wandao.

Yi Wandao was filled with shock and fury:

"You're breaking your promise?"

He frantically unleashed his Lianyue Halberd.

At this moment, he was nearly mad—he had never seen such a shameless man as Ding Huan.

He had accepted the compensation crystal ball; next, he should have let him go to collect payment from his sect. But Ding Huan didn't follow logic—he intended to kill him even after accepting the compensation promise.

Yet Yi Wandao's mind could not calm for a moment; even his Lianyue Halberd was riddled with openings.

Ding Huan's Lifeseparation Spear effortlessly tore through the Lianyue Halberd's killing space, striking straight for Yi Wandao's third eye.

The breath of death seeped from his third eye into the depths of his Primordial Spirit; Yi Wandao suddenly snapped awake:

"Lord Ding, you cannot kill me—I came here on behalf of the Alliance Leader, Hu Wu Xin…"

Puff! A spray of blood exploded—Yi Wandao never finished his sentence; Ding Huan's Lifeseparation Spear split his skull open.

Ding Huan opened his hand, and Yi Wandao's ring landed in his palm.

He had killed Yi Wandao without using Huanghua Kill or any of the Nine Divine Arts.

Outside, Liu Yinzhu and the others watching anxiously suddenly heard Ding Huan's voice ring out:

"Everyone above the Star Clouds, enter the array and kill the enemy—loot belongs to each of you. Remember to carry your sect token once inside the array."

"Brother Huan, I'm here too!" came Lao Liu's excited voice—he had just entered the Star Cloud realm.

To establish his Foundation, he had traveled from Earth to here, enduring countless trials—and now, at last, he had succeeded in Star Cloud.

"If you're here, go kill. Why waste words?"

Ding Huan snapped, then landed before Tan Yanxiao, still trapped in the killing array.
