Chapter 287: Di Xian Blocks the Road

"I don't like hearing you say that. Changyan Academy destroyed a sect and slaughtered the innocent; what's wrong with the Ding Sect Leader standing up for the Mandarin Duck Tower?"

A cold voice came through, clearly very dissatisfied with Xiang Qiuxi's words.

When everyone realized the speaker was the Fairy Luo Huan of the Tiandao Sect, they were all stunned.

What is going on?

Fairy Luo Huan is recognized throughout the Ascended Realm as cold and aloof; even sect leaders of great sects are not in her eyes. How could she possibly speak up for a small sect leader of the Daoist world, let alone make excuses for the other party destroying Changyan Academy?

Seeing that Fairy Luo Huan was speaking up for Ding Huan, Xiang Qiuxi immediately frowned.

If it were someone else, she wouldn't even bother to pay attention.

But Fairy Luo Huan is different; although she considers her own looks not much inferior to Fairy Luo Huan's, Fairy Luo Huan is the recognized number one beauty of the Ascended Realm.

For women, whether mortal village women or fairies and goddesses, talent is always second; appearance has always been first.

Taking a deep breath, Xiang Qiuxi tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart:

"Senior Sister Luo Huan, the women of the Mandarin Duck Tower are all shameless people. Changyan Academy destroying the Mandarin Duck Tower was to cleanse the filth of the entire Ascended Realm.

That Ding Huan destroyed Changyan Academy for some immoral women of a brothel, and you actually speak up for such a person?"

Fairy Luo Huan said coldly:

"Everyone is born of a father and mother; no one naturally likes to stay in a Dual Cultivation Tower. They struggle to survive, forcing smiles to please those patrons, which is already pitiful enough.

But some people, for their own selfish gain, slaughtered these women struggling at the bottom of society to near extinction. Yet you are here speaking up for those executioners. Where is your conscience?

Did your parents and sect teach you to act and behave this way since childhood? If one day you were reduced to such a state, would you still think this way?"

"You..." Xiang Qiuxi was so angry her face turned iron-green; she actually compared her to the lowly women of a Dual Cultivation Tower.

Some people familiar with Fairy Luo Huan were stunned.

Gu Lianghui and Fan Leicang of the Tiandao Sect understood even better what kind of person Fairy Luo Huan was.

Fairy Luo Huan hated those women of the Dual Cultivation Towers the most, yet now she was spouting a bunch of reasoning to stand up for those women of the Dual Cultivation Towers; this completely overturned their understanding of Fairy Luo Huan.

Gu Lianghui quickly transmitted a sound to Fairy Luo Huan:

"Junior Sister Luo Huan, you cannot speak recklessly like this. Changyan Academy and Jiuyuan have a bit of a connection, and furthermore, Wang Wang Pingdao, the City Lord of Jiuyuan who remains in Jiuyuan City, has also been killed.

If your words reach Jiuyuan, I'm afraid there is no hope this time."

Fairy Luo Huan said indifferently:

"I never intended to enter Jiuyuan anyway. Senior Brother Gu, Junior Brother Fan, farewell."

Having finished speaking, Fairy Luo Huan turned and left.

Fairy Luo Huan's departure left everyone even more dumbfounded.

Jiuyuan was about to recruit disciples above the Void God Realm here; Fairy Luo Huan's chances were very high.

Because Fairy Luo Huan not only had astonishing talent but was also one of the top ten Zhen Shen Jing figures; she actually said she didn't want this opportunity and just gave it up.

If it were someone else arguing with Xiang Qiuxi, someone would have stood up to help Xiang Qiuxi speak long ago.

But the one arguing with Xiang Qiuxi was Fairy Luo Huan; even after Fairy Luo Huan left, no one stood up to speak against Fairy Luo Huan.

"Senior Brother Gu, have you noticed that since coming out of the Kai Tian Battlefield, Senior Sister Luo Huan's personality has been somewhat different from before?" Fan Leicang said carefully beside Gu Lianghui.

Gu Lianghui sighed; anyone who wasn't blind knew that.

Before, in such matters, Fairy Luo Huan absolutely would not have spared even a glance, yet now she confronted Xiang Qiuxi right to her face.

Not only that; before, Fairy Luo Huan acted entirely on whim, but now she chooses selectively what to do.

Before, seizing resources was, for a person like Fairy Luo Huan, a matter of course.

In the Three-Layer Star Continent, the strong should survive.

Now, Fairy Luo Huan considers which matters can be done and which cannot.

In fact, it wasn't just Fairy Luo Huan; even he and Fan Leicang were changing slightly without realizing it, it's just that they themselves hadn't discovered it yet.

"Seven Swords, go to Wanbao City to purchase some necessities; I need to find a place to refine some talismans."

Before even entering Wanbao City, Ding Huan planned to find a earth-fire vein to refine talismans.

Fu Fu Qijian laughed heartily:

"In that case, we don't even need to enter Wanbao City. I know a place in the Kai Tian Battlefield that has top-tier earth fire."

"Did your master say that again?" Ding Huan asked.

"Yes, I have never entered the Kai Tian Battlefield." After Fu Fu Qijian finished speaking, he handed a jade slip to Ding Huan.

Ding Huan's divine sense was just about to sweep into the jade slip to check the contents when he heard a faint voice say:

"Who killed Wang Wang Pingdao?"

Following that, Ding Huan and Fu Fu Qijian saw a man and a woman walking over.

Two Di Xian Chu Qi? Ding Huan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Fu Fu Qijian was at the peak of the Human Immortal Realm, but Fu Fu Qijian's strength could absolutely withstand a Di Xian Chu Qi.

These two were not only Di Xian, but probably not ordinary Di Xian either.

Ding Huan cultivated the Great Universe Art, so he saw more clearly than Fu Fu Qijian.

The man should be at Di Xian Chu Qi, while that woman's strength was likely Di Xian Zhong Qi.

"It was Fu who killed him." Fu Fu Qijian stared at the man and woman before him without the slightest care.

"Not bad. Cultivating to the peak of the Human Immortal Realm, your Daoic resonance is thick; it seems your foundation is also very good. A person like you should have joined Jiuyuan; why oppose Jiuyuan?"

That man's gaze swept over Fu Fu Qijian, his tone carrying a sigh.

Fu Fu Qijian said indifferently, "I have no intention of opposing Jiuyuan."

The man smiled slightly:

"Whether you oppose Jiuyuan or not, neither you nor I have the final say. Come with us. Once you reach Jiuyuan, say whatever you have to say there."

After speaking, his gaze fell upon Ding Huan again:

"And you, you're coming with us too. Young as you are, your hands are quite ruthless."

"Ding Huan, what do you say?" Fu Fu Qijian looked at Ding Huan.

Ding Huan chuckled:

"This godforsaken place of Jiuyuan couldn't even invite me, Great Uncle Ding."

Fu Fu Qijian laughed heartily: "Nor could it invite me, Great Uncle Fu."

"You insignificant brat, merely adding to the noise..." While the man spoke, he had already lunged at Fu Fu Qijian.

That woman didn't even move, obviously believing in her view that her companion capturing Ding Huan and Fu Fu Qijian was enough.

Fu Fu Qijian not only did not retreat; he summoned the Great Ruins Sword, sending out waves of sword curtains to cleave through the air.

Ding Huan saw clearly that behind Fu Fu Qijian's sword curtains, a surging sword river was hidden.

Once caught by this sword river, even if the opponent were a Di Xian Zhong Qi, they would be in deep trouble.

"Chong Jie, be careful with this fellow." The woman in the distance had obviously spotted Fu Fu Qijian's sword river and proactively warned her companion.

Chong Jie laughed heartily:

"Such trivial tricks, yet you dare to show off before me, Chong Jie..."

Suddenly, a Ten Thousand Blades Halberd appeared in his hand; once the crushing killing intent was unleashed, it locked down this entire space.

At this moment, Fu Fu Qijian had two choices: first, continue to unleash his Gale Sword River, or second, withdraw the sword river to first block the Ten Thousand Halberds' killing intent, which was sharper than his own.

However, Fu Fu Qijian seemed unaware that Chong Jie's Ten Thousand Halberds Killing Dao Rhyme could easily cut him down; the Gale Sword River not only did not condense, but its aura grew even more violently.

He was certain Ding Huan would once again unleash the Divine Sense Technique he had used against his previous opponent, striking the enemy in mid-flow before their technique could fully form.

This was the tacit understanding between the two, needing no reminder.

"Seeking death." Seeing Fu Fu Qijian so arrogant, Chong Jie sneered, and the aura of his Killing Technique grew even more ferocious.

Just as the two Divine Sense Dao Rhymes were about to collide, Chong Jie's expression suddenly changed.

While the killing intent of his Ten Thousand Halberds Killing Technique was surging wildly, suddenly a vortex of killing intent smashed into the middle of his technique domain.

In the next instant, his technique domain abruptly collapsed, the surging killing intent turning into a pile of scattered sand, while at that very moment Fu Fu Qijian's Gale Sword River, carrying billions of sword beams, had completely swept over.

The sword beams formed a surging sword river; the ripples of the sword curtains followed one after another, each wave stronger than the last.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sound of True Essence exploding rang out.

To the onlookers, this clash of techniques appeared extremely violent, but Chong Jie knew better than anyone that he had lost in a complete mess.

His Ten Thousand Halberds Killing intent was left with only the momentum, posing not a shred of threat to Fu Fu Qijian.

Meanwhile, the ripples of sword curtains within Fu Fu Qijian's Gale Sword River rained down upon him from all directions.

Puff, puff, puff!

Blood swords exploded one after another; at this moment, Chong Jie's entire body was wrapped in a mist of blood.

Chong Jie retreated frantically; he knew that if he were a moment later, once he was locked by the opponent's sword river, he would be turned into chunks of shattered fragments.

He must exit the waves of the opponent's sword curtain river as quickly as possible.

That woman's expression changed; she lunged directly at Fu Fu Qijian.

"Fu Qijian, let's go." Ding Huan knew that under these circumstances, Chong Jie could not be killed.

This time, he and Fu Fu Qijian had teamed up to ambush Chong Jie; Chong Jie had little combat power left.

If not for that woman's interference, he and Fu Fu Qijian could have easily taken down Chong Jie.

Logically speaking, the two of them together would not fear that woman.

But in his calculations, they absolutely could not linger here.

Without needing Ding Huan's order, Fu Fu Qijian had already landed on the Aurora Shuttle summoned by Ding Huan.

The Aurora Shuttle transformed into a beam of light, shooting toward the Open Heaven Battlefield.

"Enforcer Wei, thank you. If not for you, I would have lost today."

Chong Jie finally understood; it was not that he was so much worse than Fu Fu Qijian, but that Ding Huan, that ant, had ambushed him from the side.

Leaving aside other things, that one Divine Sense Technique was indeed formidable.

Once he caught that ant, Ding Huan, he would definitely force him to reveal that Divine Sense Technique.

"We should be stopped by her before we even reach the Open Heaven Battlefield."

Fu Fu Qijian stood on the Aurora Shuttle, watching the Di Xian Zhong Qi woman approaching closer, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Hehe, she doesn't have the ability, and we aren't fleeing because of her."

After Ding Huan finished speaking, he grabbed over a dozen talismans and threw them out; the Aurora Shuttle's speed increased even further.

Ding Huan's cultivation was only at the Star Transformation Realm; in terms of Divine Sense, he would not be weaker than an ordinary Di Xian.

At this moment, Ding Huan secretly arranged over a dozen talismans in the air; even that woman from Jiuyuan did not detect them.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The woman rushed to the place where Ding Huan had arranged the talismans, and a series of explosive sounds erupted.
