Chapter 319: Star Lord of Jiuyuan

This planet was still moving, and within it the Dao rhyme aura of the Great Universe Art was sensed by Ding Huan.

Ding Huan woke up Gah Baihe: "We need to seal this planet."

Gah Baihe's divine sense landed on the planet Ding Huan pointed to, and she looked at him somewhat speechlessly:

"Sect Leader Ding, this is a derelict planet. Do you think an existence like the Jiuyuan would place their lair on a derelict planet?"

Ding Huan chuckled:

"They indeed wouldn't do that, but I know there's at least one person on this planet that I need to capture."

"Who?" Gah Baihe asked, looking at Ding Huan in confusion.

Ding Huan said, "It's the one who controlled the Jiuyuan and wanted to occupy the Triple Heaven Star Land."

"You mean the leader of the Jiuyuan?" Gah Baihe widened her eyes.

The leader of the Jiuyuan would be on this broken planet?

Ding Huan said, "Whether he's the leader of the Jiuyuan, I'm not sure. It's just that this person wanted to refine the Triple Heaven Star Land and turn it into his True Spirit World."

This news was even more explosive. It took Gah Baihe a good while to react:

"Sect Leader Ding, you mean the Jiuyuan people occupying the Triple Heaven Star Land wasn't for control, but to turn the Triple Heaven Star Land into one person's True Spirit World?"

"Exactly, that's how it is," Ding Huan said affirmatively.

A cold sweat suddenly broke out all over Gah Baihe's back. If she still thought the way she did before—waiting for the Jiuyuan people to occupy the Triple Heaven Star Land, then going to poison them—she would be dead for sure.

The other party had already refined the Triple Heaven Star Land into a True Spirit World, and she actually still wanted to use poison in someone else's world to poison the master?

Was there anything more ridiculous than this in the world?

After a long while, Gah Baihe bowed again: "Sect Leader Ding, thank you for saving my life. Otherwise, I might once again become a plaything in someone else's hands."

Ding Huan waved a hand: "We're all on the same side now, just working together. I don't know how strong the opponent really is, so I'll set up a trapping formation first, and you lay poison on top of it.

Of course, your poison may not necessarily be needed. But this guy's formation dao level is very strong, even stronger than mine, so you need to be careful."

"Alright." Gah Baihe was already prepared. Against someone who wanted her life, she had always been one to wipe them out completely.

Ding Huan took out formation flags and carefully set up a trapping formation around the outside of this broken planet.

Although this planet was very small—even to say it was a massive broken meteorite—Ding Huan and Gah Baihe still spent an entire day on it.

Ding Huan setting up the trapping formation to prevent the opponent from escaping was only a small part of the reason. The more important reason was that Ding Huan was using the trapping formation to lock down this patch of space.

He would not allow this guy to send word back.

What if the Jiuyuan people learned someone was coming to wipe them out, and the Jiuyuan cultivators escaped—how would he still go to the Jiuyuan to take revenge?

"It's ready, charge in." After Ding Huan finished speaking, he grabbed the Farewell Spear and charged into this broken planet.

His Farewell Spear had long been blasted apart during the Tribulation Crossing.

This spear likewise came from materials and dharma treasures contributed by the God Race. After refining it, Ding Huan simply used the original name.

As Ding Huan charged toward this broken planet, Lou Yunsheng only just noticed.

Lou Yunsheng, who was frantically healing and recovering his strength, didn't hesitate at all and immediately activated a teleportation talisman. No matter who came here, he would leave first.

"Boom!" The teleportation talisman swept Lou Yunsheng away, but in just a single breath's time, Lou Yunsheng's form slammed into an invisible barrier and was blasted back.

The Farewell Spear in Ding Huan's hand had already swept up hundreds of millions of spear shadows and slammed down.

Lou Yunsheng was greatly alarmed. He frantically drove his true essence, extended his divine ability domain, and also grabbed a long blade.

He had to escape from here as quickly as possible. Right now he was severely injured, unable to even beat an ordinary Human Immortal.

For Ding Huan to be able to chase and kill his way here, how could he be as simple as a Human Immortal?

The moment he saw Lou Yunsheng, Ding Huan had no intention of letting this guy leave.

A piece of trash who dared to refine a living planet—in Ding Huan's eyes, death was letting him off easy.

So when the Farewell Spear blasted out, Ding Huan threw in a Yellow Flower Kill.

What the Farewell Spear originally blasted out was the opening momentum of the Soul-Splitting divine ability among the nine divine abilities. When the Yellow Flower's killing momentum vortex easily tore through Lou Yunsheng's domain, Ding Huan knew he had been overthinking it.

The guy in front of him wasn't even as good as an ordinary Human Immortal; there was simply no need for him to be nervous.

Gah Baihe didn't know Lou Yunsheng's background. The poison dao Dao rhyme filling the sky had already swept toward Lou Yunsheng in overwhelming waves.

Lou Yunsheng, who was already only waiting for death facing Ding Huan's Farewell Spear, didn't even need to mention Gah Baihe now sweeping up the sky-filling poison dao Dao rhyme.

His whole body went numb, and he collapsed sitting on the ground. When Ding Huan's spear curtain arrived before him, he couldn't block it at all.

Ding Huan flicked his wrist, and the spear curtain dispersed. If it dispersed any later, it would have torn this guy into shreds.

"This guy can't take a hit." Gah Baihe could also tell how useless Lou Yunsheng was.

Ding Huan looked at a wound on Lou Yunsheng's chest and said, "This guy was severely wounded by a ruthless person and never recovered. His strength is probably not even one-tenth of what it was at its peak…"

Hearing this, while Lou Yunsheng was inwardly astonished by Ding Huan's assessment, he also snorted coldly in his heart.

If I weren't injured, the two of you would be less than ants in my eyes.

What he hadn't expected was Ding Huan's next words:

"Even if this guy weren't injured, he still can't take a hit. With this third-rate cat's skill, he still dares to try refining someone else's planet. What an idiot…"

Ding Huan's words nearly made Lou Yunsheng spit blood from anger, yet he couldn't explain anything.

"Speak, what's your name?" Ding Huan asked.

"Will you let me go?" Lou Yunsheng countered.

"In your dreams." Ding Huan was utterly contemptuous. A guy who wanted to refine the Triple Heaven Star Land planet, and he still wanted to live?

"Then why should I tell you?" Lou Yunsheng closed his eyes after speaking.

Ding Huan didn't care. He said to Gah Baihe, "I'm going to perform a soul search on him now. The scene won't be pretty. If you don't like watching, you can step away."

Gah Baihe shook her head: "I've lived until today—what haven't I seen?"

"You're going to soul search me?" Lou Yunsheng looked at Ding Huan in astonishment, a hint of fear appearing in his eyes.

Ding Huan nodded: "Of course. Since you don't want to tell the truth, if I don't soul search you, am I supposed to let you roam free?"

Lou Yunsheng wanted to wildly surge his true qi and detonate his consciousness sea, but no matter how he tried, he could not move.

Ding Huan gave Jia Baihe a thumbs-up: "Your poison still has some use—look, this guy can't even explode himself."

Lou Yunsheng sighed: "I'm Lou Yunsheng. Ask now—just don't perform soul-searching on me."

Ding Huan said coolly: "Fine. You get one chance to lie. If I catch you lying a second time, I'll just skip to soul-searching—it's simpler."

Lou Yunsheng said nothing.

Ding Huan asked: "What's your relationship with Jiuyuan Sect?"

"I suppose you won't believe me if I say I'm just an ordinary cultivator of Jiuyuan, so I'll admit I'm the Star Lord of Jiuyuan Star," Lou Yunsheng said with a self-deprecating smile.

Ding Huan stared at Lou Yunsheng in shock: "Jiuyuan Star has a Star Lord? So all the people on Jiuyuan Star were kidnapped from other planets?"

Lou Yunsheng replied: "Of course there's a Star Lord. As for the people of Jiuyuan Star, they originally belonged to a sect—Jiuyuan Sect."

"After Jiuyuan Sect left their original planet, they had nowhere to go, until they found Jiuyuan Star..."

Ding Huan said coolly: "Given Jiuyuan Sect's nature, they probably did something vile and got driven out, right?"

"And the original cultivators on Jiuyuan Star—you arrived, slaughtered them all, and seized the planet, didn't you?"

"Then you realized there weren't enough people, so you scoured the stars for talented cultivators to join Jiuyuan Star and build your empire. And whenever you spotted a decent planet, you terraformed it, didn't you?"

Lou Yunsheng remained silent. Ding Huan's words were partly true.

Ding Huan asked again: "You're the Star Lord of Jiuyuan Star—and also the Sect Master?"

For a question he could answer, Lou Yunsheng didn't hesitate: "No. I'm the Star Lord. The Sect Master is someone else."

"Can you control the Sect Master?"

Lou Yunsheng nodded.

Ding Huan found this normal—otherwise, how could Lou Yunsheng have terraformed the Threefold Heaven Starland?

"Where is Jiuyuan Star?"

This was the real question Ding Huan wanted to ask.

After a long silence, Lou Yunsheng pulled out a jade slip and said: "Here."

Strangely, Lou Yunsheng took the jade slip from his pocket, not from his ring.

In fact, his spiritual sense was sealed and unusable.

Ding Huan took the jade slip and pressed his spiritual sense against it—the slip showed a star map.

Ding Huan glanced at it once, then tossed the jade slip onto the ground before Lou Yunsheng: "Are you sure this jade slip shows the true location of Jiuyuan Star?"

"Yes..."

The moment Lou Yunsheng finished speaking, alarms rang all around him.

Ding Huan said coldly: "You've used your one chance to lie."

Sweat suddenly broke on Lou Yunsheng's forehead. He muttered: "You actually know the Heart-Truth Array?"

Ding Huan did not answer. A flicker of despair passed through Lou Yunsheng's eyes.

After several breaths, Lou Yunsheng suddenly spoke: "Search my soul."

Ding Huan suddenly raised his hand and pressed a finger to Lou Yunsheng's forehead.

"Wait—I'll talk! Don't search my soul..."

But Ding Huan acted as if he hadn't heard—his spiritual sense had already surged into Lou Yunsheng's consciousness sea.

"I swear I'll answer anything you ask..." Lou Yunsheng nearly screamed.

He had been gambling—that Ding Huan wouldn't perform soul-searching. But just now, the way Ding Huan's spiritual sense touched his consciousness sea—it was unmistakably the start of soul-searching.

Ding Huan stopped.

He wasn't giving up soul-searching—he was organizing all the information in the parchment about soul-searching.

Because he had never done it before; if he messed up the first time, Lou Yunsheng's consciousness sea might collapse, and he'd get nothing.

Lou Yunsheng didn't know Ding Huan's thoughts. He saw that although Ding Huan hadn't further disturbed his consciousness sea, his finger still rested on his forehead.

"I'll carve a true location jade slip..." Lou Yunsheng's voice trembled.
