Chapter 292: The Person Who Once Fought Nine Yuans Alone

Ding Huan was also quite embarrassed; he had just advanced to the Star Domain realm, and his control over the Star Domain was still a bit clumsy.

Now that he heard the rooster-hair man's words, he immediately altered the Star Domain's Dao rhythm.

The next moment, the rooster-hair man furrowed his brow and muttered to himself, "Why has my divine sense disappeared again?"

As he spoke, he threw another punch down.

This punch didn't even reach the seabed blue crystal river; even the massive boulder a zhang away from him was only shaken by the blow and did not fall.

The rooster-hair man frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly looked at Ding Huan: "Kid, you're the one playing tricks, right? You can control the divine sense of the people around you."

Shan Beishu raised his hand and grabbed at this rooster-hair man. The rooster-hair man clearly wanted to dodge, but the hand seal materialized by Shan Beishu's divine sense forcibly lifted him up:

"You say you're a late-stage Earth Immortal—what qualifications do you have to act superior here?"

"Perfected Earth Immortal?" The rooster-hair man stared at Shan Beishu in shock.

He had previously thought he had Ding Huan and the others in the bag.

Because in the past few decades, the strongest cultivation among those who came in was at most Human Immortal; Earth Immortals hadn't been seen in a long time.

Who could have imagined that the one who came in today was an Earth Immortal, and a Perfected one at that?

He then looked at Fu Qijian.

Fu Qijian said lightly:

"Stop looking, I'm also an Earth Immortal. Earth Immortal is nothing impressive—anyone can be one if they're willing."

When saying this, Fu Qijian was extremely pleased with himself.

For him a few years ago, Earth Immortal wasn't just impressive—it was utterly unattainable.

Now he was actually an Earth Immortal; the satisfaction in this was truly beyond words.

Shan Beishu loosened his hand and tossed the rooster-hair man to the ground.

The rooster-hair man sighed, stood up, and gave Shan Beishu a cultivator's salute: "Xun Youshan greets the Dao friend; I was far too arrogant."

"Xun Youshan? Are you Xun Youshan of the Xun family of Qibi?"

Xun Youshan gave a self-deprecating smile: "I didn't expect that after several hundred years, someone would still know me, Xun Youshan."

Shan Beishu said solemnly: "The Xun family later produced an extraordinary figure named Xun Bu, who should be of your grandchildren's generation.

Back then, a young Human Immortal from Li Yuancheng came to the Triple Heaven Star Land, promoted Li Yuancheng in Li Yuancheng City, and urged talented cultivators to go cultivate in Li Yuancheng.

Xun Bu immediately stepped forward and said Li Yuancheng harbored wolfish ambitions, wanting to occupy the Triple Heaven Star Land, and certainly meant no good.

That young Human Immortal's background was extraordinary; he seemed to be an extremely important figure in Li Yuancheng. Upon hearing Xun Bu's words, he not only did not get angry, but instead invited Xun Bu to drink together.

Xun Bu immediately refused, and exposed Li Yuancheng's details without any courtesy, even stating that Li Yuancheng had Li Yuancheng Cities in many Star Lands.

That young man from Li Yuancheng, however, smilingly told Xun Bu that he had taken a fancy to Xun Bu's younger sister Xun Shu, and hoped to take Xun Shu to Li Yuancheng.

Xun Bu naturally rejected him with merciless mockery, and then an unprecedented great battle began in Li Yuancheng City."

Fu Qijian nodded:

"I've heard of this matter too; it's very famous in the Ascension Realm."

Xun Youshan glared at Fu Qijian, signaling him not to interrupt.

Shan Beishu continued:

"The ones Li Yuancheng left behind in the Ascension Realm's Li Yuancheng City at that time were all powerhouses, and they didn't take Xun Bu seriously at all. But once the fight started, they realized they were not just wrong, but absurdly wrong.

Xun Bu, wielding a blood halberd, slaughtered four Earth Immortal powerhouses, thirteen Human Immortal powerhouses, and seventy-two True God realm cultivators in Li Yuancheng City.

That battle could be said to have darkened the sky and stained Li Yuancheng City with blood. Unfortunately, Xun Bu was alone, and his sister Xun Shu was also killed while protecting him.

The cultivators of the major sects in the Ascension Realm not only did not help Xun Bu, but instead helped Li Yuancheng's people.

In the end, Xun Bu fought to no avail; some said he died in battle, some said he escaped. And because of that battle, the Xun family was later settled by Li Yuancheng and vanished without a trace…"

Xun Youshan's eyes reddened, and his whole body trembled.

After a long while, he took a deep breath and said: "Good, the descendants of my Xun family did not disgrace the Xun family name."

After speaking, he looked at Shan Beishu: "You must have come down here on purpose, right?"

From the calm and composed expressions of these three, and the fact that they could deploy the full divine sense of Earth Immortals, he knew these three absolutely did not come down here by accident.

Shan Beishu smiled slightly:

"That's right, we indeed came down on purpose. We plan to make a little fortune here, and rescue someone along the way."

"I, Xun Youshan, am willing to join you—may I?" Xun Youshan looked at Shan Beishu expectantly.

Shan Beishu pointed at Ding Huan: "In our group, Brother Ding Huan calls the shots."

Xun Youshan was startled; he felt that Ding Huan's strength was the weakest.

But then he immediately recalled—wasn't it Ding Huan last time who dug out the seabed blue crystal that all the cultivators of the Fourth Layer Sea Canyon couldn't dig out?

Not only that, Ding Huan also left here easily. When Zheng Eyi Quan and Chen Xiaomei wanted to capture him, they couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.

If it weren't for coming back on purpose this time, perhaps he wouldn't have needed to come back at all.

"May I ask how I should address the few Dao friends?" Xun Youshan decided not to be so muddled anymore.

The Xun family was his own spreading branches and leaves; he couldn't have this ancestor be inferior to the Xun family's descendants, could he?

Ding Huan pointed at Shan Beishu and said:

"This is Dao friend Shan Beishu, a disciple of the Great Tong Academy."

Xun Youshan was stunned, then said: "Didn't the Great Tong Academy perish at the hands of Li Yuancheng?"

Ding Huan sighed; these old fellows indeed knew how the Great Tong Academy was destroyed. News heard by a second-in-command like Lao Hu wasn't very reliable.

"Yes, so this time I'm following Brother Ding Huan out to do some things. Once we get out of the Fourth Layer Sea Canyon, we'll go have a fight with Li Yuancheng." Shan Beishu didn't hide it at all.

"Count me, Xun Youshan in—may I?" Xun Youshan said immediately.

"Old Xun, if you want to join, of course it's even better—how could we not welcome you?"

After Ding Huan finished speaking, he pointed at Fu Qijian again and said: "This is Fu Qijian; his master is also here, named Ji Xuwen. I'm Ding Huan—you should already know."

"Ji Xuwen?" Xun Youshan heard this name and immediately cried out in surprise.

Fu Qijian hurriedly asked:

"Senior, do you know where my master is?"

Xun Youshan nodded: "I did indeed see Ji Xuwen. His cultivation seemed to have not yet reached Earth Immortal. It's just that his situation didn't seem too good; he was living very hard in the cultivator Great Dao district."

Ding Huan asked in confusion: "Old Xun, why don't you go to the cultivator Great Dao district? Instead of staying here?"

Xun Youshan snorted: "That Wu Zhanxia has every cultivator going to the Great Dao district contribute their own Great Dao cultivation method, and operate Zhou Tian cultivation on the spot for twelve hours.

I, Xun Youshan, would rather die than wallow in the same filth as these things. My Xun family's Great Dao method — on what grounds should I contribute it to him?

Not going to the cultivator Great Dao district just means the Dao Charm will keep getting eroded. I, Xun Youshan, have long lived enough; whenever the Dao Charm is fully eroded, I'll end myself."

"Old Xun, you haven't disgraced the Xun family either." Ding Huan praised him.

"Haha…" Xun Youshan laughed heartily; Ding Huan's words were very pleasing to him.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the cultivator residential district — the Great Dao district they call it. But they should be coming soon too."

Sure enough, just as Xun Youshan's words fell, Ding Huan once again saw that fellow with a face full of pockmarked flesh.

Last time it was this very fellow who used a killing-restriction array to ambush him, and in the end still wanted him to leave behind everything on him, only for him to walk away.

Meeting today, it really is enemies face to face.

"Haha…" This fellow with a face full of pockmarked flesh came out and saw Ding Huan, immediately laughing heartily.

Clearly, he had the same thought as Xun Youshan — that Ding Huan had nowhere to go and could only be forced into this canyon in the end.

"He's called Zheng E Yiquan, a man from Jiuyuan." Xun Youshan said one sentence.

Zheng E Yiquan was stunned; he hadn't expected Xun Youshan to dare butt in.

This old fellow usually hid in the Dao Charm erosion zone, although sometimes he did dare come snatch a few things.

But most of the time, he didn't dare butt in and reveal their identities.

"Jiuyuan's trash."

Just as Ding Huan said one sentence and was about to make a move, Fu Qijian summoned the Great Ruin Sword:

"Leave Jiuyuan's trash to me."

Xun Youshan waved his hand:

"This man I must kill myself. Jiuyuan dared to kill my Xun family's descendants; today let a Xun family elder avenge just a little of Xun Bu's grudge."

Zheng E Yiquan was shocked by Xun Youshan's words. This fellow had always hidden in the Dao Charm erosion zone, yet now actually dared come out and fight him — had this fellow gone mad?

"Let me show you my Xun family's Halberd Dao."

Xun Youshan finished speaking and spread his hand; a cyan long halberd appeared in his grip, and immediately the halberd swept up a ball of halberd light and pounced toward Zheng E Yiquan.

Ding Huan's domain immediately extended outward.

He was certain that if his domain didn't extend outward, Xun Youshan definitely wouldn't be Zheng E Yiquan's match.

Zheng E Yiquan's Dao Charm wasn't damaged much, while Xun Youshan's foundation was clearly impaired.

Sure enough, upon feeling his divine sense no longer restricted, Xun Youshan let out a long howl, and the divine ability power of his long halberd increased by a hundredfold and more.

Zheng E Yiquan felt his entire space locked down by Xun Youshan's killing momentum; he was dumbfounded.

When did this old fellow become so terrifying? This divine sense doesn't seem damaged in the slightest.

How could that be?

Once outside the Great Dao district, in any place within the Fourth Heavy Sea Canyon, the Great Dao Charm would constantly be eroded away. The deeper one went, the more severe the Dao Charm erosion.

This was also why this place had only Xun Youshan all year round; he only came over when someone arrived to scavenge things and find a few subordinates to do hard labor for him.

Of course, the things he obtained — cultivation methods had to be handed over to the Valley Master.

For cultivators above Earth Immortal, he still had to lure them into joining the Great Dao cultivator district.

"Puh!"

Zheng E Yiquan clearly knew what he should do, and had been able to do it before, yet now he simply couldn't do it, nor could he dodge.

He could only watch helplessly as Xun Youshan's long halberd split open his brow, blood mist spraying across the ground.

"This fellow really can't take a hit. Look at how arrogant he usually is — turns out he couldn't withstand a single blow, hehe." Xun Youshan slew Zheng E Yiquan with one halberd strike, in a great mood.

Ding Huan was speechless. If he hadn't used his star domain to lock down this place, Xun Youshan simply couldn't have beaten Zheng E Yiquan, alright.
