Chapter 332: Let's Get Rich Together

~12 min read 2,260 words

"Ding Huan, is there really something wrong with that spear?" Only after seeing Peng Qi leave did Jiabaihe finally speak up to ask.

Just now, in the transaction between Ding Huan and Peng Qi, an item worth one billion upper-grade spirit stones was sold off by Ding Huan for three hundred million upper-grade spirit stones.

As for the Blue Blaze Crystal, since Jiabaihe did not know that Ding Huan still had a fire seed, she did not find it particularly precious.

This thing really is like that—if you have a use for it, you'd bankrupt yourself to buy it; if you don't, tossing it into your ring feels like it's just taking up space.

Ding Huan nodded. "Yes, there really is something wrong with that spear. Let's go now, get the poison ready. Along the way, maybe we can learn from Fan Jiandan and make some fortune."

Jiabaihe nodded and sighed, "I really had no idea that woman was a robber. You really can't judge a book by its cover."

Ding Huan smiled. "She's not exactly a pure robber either. After all, she only robs those who covet the spirit stones on her body, so you could say she has some principles."

"Was she planning to rob us earlier?" Jiabaihe asked.

Ding Huan nodded. "Yes. She exposed several times that she had a pile of spirit stones on her, but you just didn't take the bait. If you had, you would have definitely followed her out of the city, and then just gotten robbed by her."

After saying this, Ding Huan summoned out a flying-type treasure.

Several hundred divine senses swept over from afar, seemingly brushing past Ding Huan and Jiabaihe in passing.

Jiabaihe flew into a rage. "These people are truly shameless, acting as if these things should belong to them."

"Ignore those guys, but be a bit careful of the one in red." Ding Huan had already spotted that red-clothed man.

He did not use his divine sense to sweep over Ding Huan and the others, but Ding Huan only needed one glance to know this fellow was a cultivator from Jiuyuan.

Ding Huan's caution toward the red-clothed man was not because he felt this fellow was very strong. Rather, he did not want this fellow to escape—this red-clothed one was his main target.

"Let's go." After Ding Huan spoke, he directly controlled the flying ship to charge out of the Void Flying City.

Jiabaihe, however, had already prepared to release the poison.

Sure enough, after Ding Huan left the Void Flying City, one after another flying treasures or flying swords shot out of the Void Flying City, flying directly toward the direction Ding Huan had departed.

They did not dare to make a move within the range of the Myriad Realms Void Flying City. Now that Ding Huan and Jiabaihe had left the Myriad Realms Void Flying City, naturally there were no more reservations.

In less than the time it takes to burn a single incense stick, someone could no longer hold back.

Logically speaking, they had only just left the Void Flying City not far behind—at the very least they should have moved farther away to make their move, so as to give the Myriad Realms Void Flying City some face.

But Ding Huan and Jiabaihe simply had too many good things on them, and there were too many people tailing them. Those who wanted to strike first were hoping for a quick battle—grab and run.

Perhaps they were confident in their own strength, believing they could instantly kill Ding Huan and Jiabaihe.

But unfortunately, before the first flying ship that blocked Ding Huan's flying shuttle could even make its move, over a dozen figures had already landed beside Ding Huan's flying ship.

Clearly, trying to hog everything for oneself was not going to work.

As these dozen-plus figures blocked Ding Huan's flying ship, several dozen more figures rushed over.

Most people did not want to make a move here; they still had considerable reservations about the Myriad Realms Commerce Association.

But many newcomers did not understand the rules and insisted on striking early, so they could only act as well. Having stared at Ding Huan and Jiabaihe for so long, naturally they did not want to miss out on even the soup.

"You two, hand over your rings and you may leave first." A tall-crowned man stepped forward first and spoke.

No one beside him spoke—perhaps because this fellow's strength was very great, or perhaps because the baleful aura on him was very heavy.

"I don't think there's any rush. The others haven't all arrived yet. If we take our things out, should we give them to you or to him? Better to wait until everyone arrives, then we can divide the goods among ourselves." Ding Huan said calmly.

At this moment, he was already inscribing void array patterns.

Jiabaihe also began releasing the poison dao rhythm.

Such a crude attempt at sowing discord made the tall-crowned man frown slightly.

He actually did not want to make a move here either, and did not know which idiot had to strike the moment they left the Void Flying City.

He coveted the Nine-Color Immortal-Mortal Lotus in Jiabaihe's hand, so naturally he could not let someone else take it, so he could only choose to act.

Ding Huan's divine sense was powerful, and his speed in inscribing array patterns was extremely fast.

"In that case, I'll withdraw." An early-stage Earth Immortal cultivator, seeing that Ding Huan did not seem worried, proactively spoke a line, then retreated.

But Ding Huan saw clearly that his retreat was very slow—clearly he did not truly intend to withdraw.

The tall-crowned male cultivator declared in a clear voice, "Fellow cultivators, this person has a large amount of Ten-Thousand-Year Sea Marrow on him, as well as a pile of Seabed Azure Crystals. My idea is to take him down first—one drop of Ten-Thousand-Year Sea Marrow per person, and the spirit stones and Seabed Azure Crystals divided equally.

I can be the first to strike and take him down. I don't need anything else, just the Nine-Color Immortal-Mortal Lotus."

Everyone, help me keep an eye on him—don't let him escape.

Ding Huan's divine sense was very strong; he had not caught sight of that red-clothed cultivator from Jiuyuan this whole time. Clearly, that fellow was very cautious and had not chosen to act against him together with these people.

"Fellow cultivators, please forgive me. I am Peng Sa, an elder of the Myriad Realms Commerce Association.

This guest has just purchased a Nine-Color Immortal-Mortal Lotus from our Myriad Realms Commerce Association, and he has not even left the range of the Myriad Realms Void Flying City, yet all of you are besieging him here.

If word of this gets out, it will not be a particularly glorious matter for our Myriad Realms Commerce Association.

How about this—I go in and have a chat with this guest, and see if we can find a solution that works for both sides, so that none of you return empty-handed, and so that this guest remains safe and sound. How does that sound?"

A young man stepped out, cupped his fist to the crowd, and spoke in a sincere tone.

No one spoke.

Clearly, no one was willing to let this young man go negotiate with Ding Huan, yet no one dared to go against the Myriad Realms Commerce Association either.

Going against the Myriad Realms Commerce Association—do you still want to keep operating? Once you're wanted by the Myriad Realms Commerce Association, traveling through this universe's void, there will basically be nowhere left to survive.

The young man did not mind. The crowd's silence was tacit agreement, so he walked straight toward Ding Huan's flying ship.

Ding Huan opened the flying ship's restriction. The young man seemed to have given no thought at all to his own safety, and stepped directly into Ding Huan's flying ship.

In his thinking, it was only natural for Ding Huan to open the flying ship, because he was from the Myriad Realms Commerce Association—this was a sense of superiority and confidence that came from the very marrow of his bones.

In fact, his thinking was not wrong. Anyone who knew of the Myriad Realms Commerce Association truly did not dare to do anything to a person from the Myriad Realms Commerce Association.

Unless he was seeking death himself, and even seeking death for his own sect and family.

But the one he ran into was Ding Huan—this was Ding Huan's first time seeing a Void Flying City of the Myriad Realms Commerce Association.

Although Ding Huan also knew the Myriad Realms Commerce Association was certainly extraordinary, in his heart he truly did not care.

"Fellow cultivator, I am Peng Sa." After entering, the young man cupped his fist toward Ding Huan.

Peng Sa was all smiles, and his tone was very friendly.

The moment Ding Huan saw him, he sensed an intense killing intent radiating from him.

This killing intent was extremely well concealed—at the very least, Jia Baili had not sensed it.

Peng Sa wished he could kill Ding Huan on the spot, because his plan had been ruined by Ding Huan.

Originally the Nine-Colored Immortal-Mortal Lotus could not be traded away; even taking a step back, even if it were traded away, it would still return to the Myriad Realms Trading Company.

As it turned out, the Nine-Colored Immortal-Mortal Lotus was traded away—and not only that, before Peng Sa could retrieve it, Ding Huan had swapped the Nine-Colored Immortal-Mortal Lotus for a low-grade spirit stone.

As if that weren't enough, even the Immortal Quanhua was traded over by Ding Huan.

It could be said that Ding Huan's actions not only made Peng Sa's face get slapped with resounding cracks, but also caused the Myriad Realms Trading Company to fail to obtain the expected treasure, suffering heavy losses.

Ding Huan looked at Peng Sa and gave no response at all.

He concentrated fully on laying out the killing-restriction array patterns—where would he find the time to waste words with Peng Sa?

So what if Peng Sa was from the Myriad Realms Trading Company? When the time came to act, he would be taken down just the same.

"I know you traded for a stalk of Immortal Quanhua. As long as you're willing to bring out this Immortal Quanhua, I, Peng Sa, am willing to help you resolve the crisis before you."

Peng Sa's tone sounded quite polite on the surface, but the condescending air in his bones could not be concealed at all.

Ding Huan had just finished laying out all the array patterns, then looked at Peng Sa and said: "Who wants the Immortal Quanhua?"

"Naturally our Myriad Realms Trading Company does." Peng Sa said it as a matter of course.

Ding Huan took out the jade box holding the Immortal Quanhua and opened it. Peng Sa saw the Immortal Quanhua, his eyes immediately lit up, and he raised his hand to grab it.

Before his hand could grab the Immortal Quanhua, Ding Huan put it away: "Call the person who wants the Immortal Quanhua here, we'll trade face to face."

"You want to trade?" Peng Sa looked at Ding Huan in disbelief.

Ding Huan smiled half-heartedly: "Otherwise what? Give it to you?"

Peng Sa frowned: "I just said, I'll help you out of this encirclement."

"Helping out is also a trade." Ding Huan sneered inwardly. If it weren't for luring over that fellow who had taken Lou Xihe's orders, Ding Huan would have long since blasted this guy to death with a single punch.

"Fine." Peng Sa's divine sense swept over the one or two hundred cultivators surrounding Ding Huan outside, and could only agree, while simultaneously sending out a message.

In just a short while, a man in red charged into Ding Huan's killing-restriction grand array, and Ding Huan locked down the killing-restriction grand array at the same instant.

Ding Huan had used array patterns to lay out the killing-restriction grand array. After he locked down the grand array, it was instead the man in red who felt something was off.

But thinking of the one or two hundred people here, plus the Myriad Realms Trading Company people present, he felt he was overthinking it.

The Myriad Realms Trading Company was a gold-lettered signboard—not to mention Ding Huan alone, even he, Jiu Yuan, or even a larger star continent would not dare to provoke such an existence.

"What's your name?" Ding Huan saw the man in red walk into his flying ship and asked a question.

This fellow's strength was definitely below the Immortal-Mortal Bridge realm, which made Ding Huan breathe a sigh of relief.

"Wu Que." The man in red said coldly.

"Surprisingly not surnamed Lou—that does make me curious." Ding Huan muttered to himself.

"You know my origins?" Wu Que's gaze turned cold, his divine sense suddenly sweeping outward. Immediately his expression changed and he quickly tried to retreat.

He had only retreated one step before stopping: "Void array patterns originated from my Lou family. You want to use void array patterns to trap me too?"

"Heh." Ding Huan gave a cold laugh and suddenly threw a punch.

This punch was not hurled at Wu Que, but at Peng Sa, who had been looking down on them all along.

Peng Sa was still in a daze of astonishment—void array pattern trapping formation?

Before he could figure it out, Ding Huan's fist had already blasted over.
