233. Chapter 230: Welcome to Attack

Tan Yanxiao knew this was a level-six killing-restricting array; as long as there was a spirit source, she alone could not break it open in a short time.

If Ding Huan weren't watching her from the side, perhaps she could still slowly grind it open with time.

Now she could only try hard to find the array heart, then blast open the array heart to break the protective array.

She had not yet found the array heart when Ding Huan abruptly appeared before her.

"Ding Huan?" Tan Yanxiao was startled, an inexplicable fear welling up in her heart.

Ding Huan alone she did not fear, but a level-six killing-restricting array plus Ding Huan made her back go cold.

To tell the truth, although she had previously said before the sect alliance leader Hu Wuxin that Qu Yueshan had died at Ding Huan's hands, she herself actually did not believe it.

But now that the matter had fallen on her own head, she would rather believe that everything she had said about Ding Huan was completely true.

"That's right, it's Ding Mou. The fellow whose Primordial Soul I just killed—report your name, I won't let you be a nameless ghost."

While his mouth told her to report her name, the level-six killing-restricting array had already activated.

"Brother Ding, hold on. This matter is my Tan Yanxiao's fault. I am the sect master of the Twin Soul Sect. As long as Brother Ding spares me this once, this little sister is willing to do anything for you."

At this moment, the cool detachment she showed before people vanished without a trace.

Several terrifying blade-gleams tore through Tan Yanxiao's clothes, bringing out bursts of blood-light; Tan Yanxiao felt the threat of death for the first time.

"Little sister? Don't make this young master throw up the overnight meal from a few tens of thousands of years ago. You, calling yourself little sister? Aren't you an old crone of several hundred years old?

You seize a young girl's body and think you're a young girl yourself? Have you no shame at all? The girl you seized is truly pitiful.

A garbage, disgusting sect like your Twin Soul Sect should be wiped out sooner, so the Dao-cultivation world can be a bit cleaner."

Ding Huan did not have even half a good feeling toward this Twin Soul Sect.

A sect that specifically recruits genius disciples for its elders to seize—Ding Huan truly looked down on it.

"You're seeking death…" These words from Ding Huan completely broke Tan Yanxiao's composure.

The most taboo thing in front of her was being called old; Ding Huan not only violated her taboo, he directly pierced her last line of defense in her heart.

Tan Yanxiao's Seven Splendor Rainbow swept up a violent, extreme killing momentum and surged toward Ding Huan.

Ding Huan couldn't even be bothered to move; the level-six killing-restricting array fully activated.

His fight with Yi Wandao had taught him that to find a cultivator worth sparring with, the cultivation must at least be mid-to-late Primordial Soul.

Whether Yi Wandao or Tan Yanxiao, they were still only early Primordial Soul; their Primordial Soul realm true essence had not even been condensed.

Blade-gleams pierced through Tan Yanxiao's body one after another; Tan Yanxiao suddenly woke up—she was inside someone else's level-six killing-restricting array.

After calming down, she did not continue begging for mercy.

At this moment she knew very clearly that Ding Huan absolutely would not let her go, nor had he taken any notice of her appearance.

Bound by the killing-restricting array, several more blade-gleams pierced through her body.

Tan Yanxiao simply stopped struggling; inside someone else's level-six killing-restricting array, no matter how she struggled it was utterly futile.

Ding Huan's Farewell Spear was summoned; a spear-gleam wrapped up all the blade-gleams in the killing-restricting array and blasted toward Tan Yanxiao.

"Puh!" The Farewell Spear pierced through Tan Yanxiao's brow, bringing up a spray of fresh blood.

What surprised Ding Huan was that this woman truly did not resist; instead she looked at him calmly and said:

"Whether you believe it or not, before I entered the Twin Soul Sect, I was also a victim…

An elder of the Twin Soul Sect named Tan Yanxiao seized me. She didn't expect that I instead devoured her Primordial Spirit… Later I also learned to seize others… You were right… hehe…"

After those two "hehe"s, Tan Yanxiao's Primordial Spirit collapsed, and she fell inside Ding Huan's killing-restricting array.

With a sweep of his hand, Ding Huan collected Tan Yanxiao's ring.

Tan Yanxiao might once have been a victim, but Ding Huan had not a shred of sympathy for her.

Ding Huan's divine sense swept out and found that the group that had attacked Blue Star Sect had long since been mostly dead.

In fact, even if Liu Yinzhu and Sang Yuhe and the others had not entered the killing-restricting array to kill, these fellows could not have escaped death inside the level-six killing-restricting array.

Ding Huan had let them go in to kill a few only so they could make a bit of fortune.

With a wave of his hand, Ding Huan collected the array flags, and the killing-restricting array vanished.

Three Foundation Establishment cultivators covered in wounds and one True Dan Completion fellow stood on the spot; the three Foundation Establishment cultivators, terrified, raised their shields and stood back-to-back to resist the killing-gleams inside the array.

Because they were in a living corner, and Liu Yinzhu and the others had not discovered these fellows in time, they had barely managed to hold on until now.

That True Dan Completion cultivator was also pale-faced, one arm already gone; before him stood a great cauldron.

This great cauldron had blocked ninety percent of the attacks for him.

Whether Liu Yinzhu, Sang Yuhe, or Qin Qingshan, they all looked at Ding Huan with excitement.

They carried sect jade talismans refined by Ding Huan, which allowed them to fight the enemy in safe spots within the killing array.

Especially when Liu Yinzhu and Sang Yuhe clashed with True Dan cultivators' spells, they clearly felt how powerful the Star-Gathering realm strength was.

Same-realm really could crush the opponent.

Moreover, the sect master's protective array was too formidable; sometimes when they faced several late True Dan cultivators joining forces, they only had to hide in the array's life-gate and could watch the opponents be slain by the killing-restricting array without lifting a finger.

"Sect Master Ding…" Hong Tiao finally came to his senses and called out in a trembling voice.

He had seen the corpses of Yanyue Sect sect master Yi Wandao and Twin Soul Sect sect master Tan Yanxiao on the ground; he was the luckier one, having not run into Ding Huan inside the killing-restricting array and having lived until now.

"Sect Master, he is Hong Tiao, sect master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate." Liu Yinzhu spoke up proactively.

Ding Huan said with a chuckle:

"Looks like my Blue Star Sect is easy to bully—every garbage sect wants to come grab a share."

"Sect Master Ding, I was incited by Tan Yanxiao and Yi Wandao. The alliance leader of the Dao-cultivation world sect alliance, Hu Wuxin, told me to come help them. I now deeply regret it."

Perhaps knowing his life was not long for this world, Hong Tiao's will to live was extremely strong.

"When I killed Yi Wandao earlier, I let him leave behind a compensation crystal ball. But I did not let Tan Yanxiao leave a crystal ball—do you know why?"

Hearing Ding Huan's words, Hong Tiao instinctively shivered:

"This Hong is dull-witted; I ask Sect Leader Ding to enlighten me."

Hong Tiao's voice was trembling; he had already guessed the answer, but he dared not say it, because he was going to die.

"You also record a compensation crystal ball—remember, if I'm not satisfied, I just won't want it." Ding Huan tossed a crystal ball to Hong Tiao.

He really had not deceived Hong Tiao. The reason he did not let Tan Yanxiao leave a compensation crystal ball, and even mocked Tan Yanxiao, was that he had never intended to let the trash sect Shuanghun Sect survive.

Hong Tiao's will to survive peaked; he knew whether he could live depended on how much benefit his death or survival would bring Ding Huan:

"Sect Leader Ding, my Myriad Beasts Gate has a beast egg left from antiquity; according to records, this is very likely a surviving divine beast egg…."

Ding Huan mocked:

"So you plan to give this beast egg to me?"

Hong Tiao hurriedly explained:

"This beast egg has always been locked in the sect's treasure vault with a restriction; only my dao companion can fetch it.

Besides this divine beast egg, I can also compensate with one Starry Sky spiritual vein, plus ten million high-grade spirit stones, and one second-grade mountain-guarding sharp-mouthed tiger…"

Starry Sky spiritual vein?

"You have a Starry Sky spiritual vein?" Ding Huan was immediately drawn in by the Starry Sky spiritual vein; even a low-grade Starry Sky spiritual vein was stronger for him than an ordinary high-grade spiritual vein.

The most important thing about a Starry Sky spiritual vein is that it contains Starry Sky dao laws; if he could implant a Starry Sky spiritual vein beneath the Blue Star Sect's mountain gate, both cultivation speed and comprehension here would rise a level.

The reason was that his sect's great dao technique was the Minor Universe Art.

"Yes, this was obtained by my master by chance while searching for Starry Sky demon beasts; I am willing to offer it to compensate Sect Leader Ding." Hong Tiao's tone was extremely sincere.

Ding Huan thought to himself, this Myriad Beasts Gate looks unremarkable, yet it's actually this wealthy.

Being this wealthy would be one thing, but you still insisted on going to plunder other sects—serves you right.

Ding Huan agreed to the other's terms:

"Fine, bring everything you mentioned; I can spare you once. In the future, as long as your sect doesn't offend me, I won't pursue old scores; but if there's a next time… you know."

"Yes, many thanks, Sect Leader Ding. Please lift the restriction, Sect Leader; I'll send a flying-sword message back to the sect." Seeing Ding Huan agree, Hong Tiao excitedly hurried to declare his stance.

The moment Ding Huan opened the sect restriction, Hong Tiao sent out a flying-sword message.

Looking at the three Foundation Establishment cultivators still in terror, Ding Huan said coldly:

"Among you three, is anyone from Myriad Beasts Gate?"

A short man hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"This junior is a Myriad Beasts Gate disciple, Qian Wu."

Ding Huan raised his hand and shot out two blade-gleams; the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators didn't even have time to grunt before being slain by Ding Huan's two blade-gleams.

Ding Huan looked at Hong Tiao and said:

"Considering how sincerely you admitted your fault, I've spared one life from your sect; also, hurry up and take away the corpses of your Myriad Beasts Gate."

"Yes, many thanks, Sect Leader Ding." Hong Tiao hurried to collect the corpses that had no storage bags.

When the Blue Star Sect's sect-protecting grand array opened wide, the cultivators watching outside all surged forward; when they saw corpses strewn across the ground, they all recoiled in horror.

Ding Huan walked to the sect-protecting array's entrance and looked at the many observing cultivators:

"Are you all also here to attack my Blue Star Sect? You're welcome to attack—please, go ahead."

After speaking, he even made a "please" gesture.

"No, I'm just passing by." A True Core cultivator left those words and swiftly retreated.

He had seen Yi Wandao's corpse, seen Tan Yanxiao's corpse; these two were both Primordial Soul realm powerhouses, and even they had died at Blue Star Sect—who would dare say they would attack Blue Star Sect?

"Then scram farther away, or you won't need to leave." Ding Huan said coldly.

Although Ding Huan did not act, merely a cold snort, that True Core cultivator didn't even dare leave a word and hurriedly retreated to the very back of the crowd.

Ding Huan walked outside the sect, raised his hand and tossed out a pile of formation flags, then grabbed with his hand.

The next moment, the corpses of Yanyue Sect Sect Leader Yi Wandao and Shuanghun Sect Sect Leader Tan Yanxiao were seized by Ding Huan, then nailed outside the sect.
