Chapter 333: Leave No One Alive

~12 min read 2,300 words

Peng Sa couldn't have dreamed in his wildest fantasies that someone would dare to lay hands on him, an elder of the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild, in broad daylight.

But the domain brought forth by Ding Huan's punch sealed the entire space around him, and Peng Sa frantically drove his true essence, wanting to summon his magic treasure.

He quickly discovered that his true essence had become sluggish, completely unresponsive to his command—had he been poisoned?

"Crack!" Peng Sa's domain shattered, and his chest was blasted open into a bloody hole by Ding Huan's punch. He collapsed onto the flying ship, vomiting blood in great gulps.

"You dare to strike me…"

Peng Sa was still flaunting the superiority of a Myriad Realms Commerce Guild elder, while Wu Que was fleeing madly.

The moment Ding Huan threw a punch, he knew Ding Huan had recovered.

Even though it seemed inconceivable, with Ding Huan recovered he still didn't dare to clash head-on.

Even his master Lou Xihe had his physical body destroyed by Ding Huan—he was far inferior to his master, so how could he dare to make a move against Ding Huan?

The reason he dared come to kill Ding Huan was that his master had said Ding Huan had been gravely wounded by him and could drop dead at any moment.

Now Ding Huan's single punch had knocked nine-tenths of the life out of Peng Sa—where was even the slightest sign of someone about to drop dead?

"Everyone hurry and attack! This man has set up a killing array to slaughter us all!" Wu Que roared frantically, hoping the others would step in to help.

But at this moment everyone was fleeing wildly outward. The poison controlled by Jia Baili had already saturated this entire space; any cultivator within it had been poisoned.

For everyone, the most important thing was to burst out of this space and neutralize the poison.

"Open the trapping array and let us out, or you'll have endless troubles…" someone in the crowd was saying words even he himself didn't believe.

When those cultivators discovered they couldn't break through Ding Huan's level-eight void killing array, they wanted to turn back and attack Ding Huan.

But before they even reached Ding Huan's flying ship, they collapsed one after another.

Some cultivators who hadn't yet been killed hurriedly retreated again to expel the poison.

"Baili, well done." Ding Huan offered a word of praise.

Compared to when they were on Jiuyuan Star, Jia Baili's control over the Dao of Poison had reached a higher level.

Moreover, the space where Jia Baili now released her poison was, compared to an entire planet like Jiuyuan Star, so small it could be completely ignored.

Jia Baili's level in the Dao of Poison had risen by another great tier; poisoning and killing one or two hundred cultivators within such a tiny range was simply no challenge at all.

"Let me go, name your conditions." Wu Que watched group after group of people collapse, knowing that with his own ability he probably couldn't break out of Ding Huan's killing array before the poison took full effect.

As for attacking Ding Huan, he knew very well he was no match for him.

Setting aside that Ding Huan had blasted his master Lou Xihe's physical body to pieces and emerged completely unscathed, he couldn't even replicate that single punch Ding Huan had used on Peng Sa.

"Speak—where is Lou Xihe?" Ding Huan asked.

"He's healing on Jiuyuan Star. After learning that the Immortal Quan Flower had appeared in the Void Flying City, the first thing he did was tell me I had to purchase that Immortal Quan Flower." Wu Que spoke with a sincere tone.

The poison Jia Baili had laid down had already caused black blood to seep from his mouth.

Ding Huan suddenly summoned the Flying Smoke Sword, and the Flying Smoke Sword swept up a curtain of sword light that wrapped toward Wu Que.

Wu Que knew Ding Huan definitely wouldn't let him go. Now that Ding Huan was attacking, he could only frantically burn his essence blood while simultaneously summoning a long saber.

Even if it meant fighting to the death, he had to wound Ding Huan.

A vortex of killing momentum slammed into his divine ability domain, and before the killing aura of his long saber could even take shape, it began to collapse.

If he hadn't been poisoned, perhaps he could have traded a blow or two with Ding Huan.

Now that he was poisoned, and Ding Huan had even first ambushed him with a vortex of divine sense, he lacked even the ability to resist.

Ding Huan's Flying Smoke Sword swept across his neck.

The killing light of the trapping array crisscrossed everywhere. Those poisoned cultivators, who already couldn't muster true essence or divine sense, were sliced into pieces amid the crisscrossing killing light.

For the few fellows still struggling, Ding Huan very cleanly controlled the Flying Smoke Sword to behead them.

With a sweep of his hand, Ding Huan gathered the nearly two hundred rings into his palm, then tossed a ball of flame over.

When Ding Huan returned to the flying ship, Peng Sa was still struggling.

That was because the poison on Ding Huan's flying ship had been cleared by Jia Baili, which was why Peng Sa could still cling to life until now.

"Spare me, I'm from the Peng family of the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild—you can't kill me." Fear flashed in Peng Sa's eyes.

He was a genius of the Peng family, and the Peng family was a shareholder of the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild. From the very start of his cultivation, he had always stood atop everyone else.

Resources came with a word; he never had to fight for them himself.

Whatever he needed in his cultivation, he only had to mention it to his clan. As an elder of the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild, no one dared to go against his wishes.

A man who had lived to this day without even having suffered a single harsh word—how could he ever imagine someone would want to kill him?

Ding Huan pulled out an array flag and casually set up a teleportation array.

The teleportation array activated, and a jade bottle, a spiritual fruit, and a hundred catties of seabed azure crystal appeared before him.

"You…"

Peng Sa saw that the items Ding Huan had teleported back were precisely the things used to purchase the Nine-Colored Immortal-Mortal Lotus at the auction.

Apart from the five hundred million spirit stones, everything else seemed to have returned.

Clearly Ding Huan had carved teleportation array patterns onto these items.

Ding Huan looked coldly at Peng Sa: "What, only you know how to lay teleportation array patterns? Others can't? As for your Peng family, this young master has never heard of it."

Having said that, Ding Huan punched straight over, and Peng Sa's body and soul were both annihilated.

Originally Ding Huan hadn't planned to take these things back, but Peng Sa had come to snatch his belongings. Since Peng Sa was already dead, what was there to fear?

If the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild wanted to reason things out, then the dead couldn't testify.

If they didn't want to reason, that was even simpler—just like handling Jiuyuan Star, wouldn't wiping out the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild be cleaner?

"Ding Huan, you took back the things used to buy the Nine-Colored Immortal-Mortal Lotus?" Jia Baili stared at Ding Huan in shock.

Ding Huan nodded: "They wanted to take back the Nine-Colored Immortal-Mortal Lotus they sold us, but I discovered it and stopped them in time.

Originally I wasn't planning to pursue this matter further, but they sent people to hunt us down, so don't blame me for being impolite."

"How could they be so shameless?" Jia Baili had never imagined that a major guild like the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild would actually do such a filthy thing.

"Let's leave quickly, this isn't a place to stay long." This time Ding Huan brought out the iron pot.

Once the iron pot was activated, it was more than a hundred times faster than the previous flying ship, and it quickly vanished into the vast void.

……

The Ten Thousand Realms Void Flying City auction had long since ended.

However, as the host, the Ten Thousand Realms Commerce Guild's matters were not yet over.

Mainly because this time Peng Sa had let the auctioneer bid mid-auction, seriously violating the Ten Thousand Realms Commerce Guild's rules.

Not only that, Peng Sa had even wanted to use a teleportation method to teleport back the Nine-Colored Immortal-Mortal Lotus that had been auctioned off.

If this matter had succeeded, everyone could have just kept it hidden from each other, and it wouldn't have mattered.

After all, even if word got out, there would be no evidence, and ordinary cultivators wouldn't dare spread such unverified matters, because they couldn't bear the wrath of the Ten Thousand Realms Commerce Guild.

The key was that this matter had failed.

As a flying city of the Ten Thousand Realms Commerce Guild, they had to compile this matter completely and then report it up to the guild.

At this moment, in the meeting room of the Ten Thousand Realms Commerce Guild's Void Flying City, six people were seated.

Besides Jin Lingzi, Fu Ji Yuan Qi, and Guan Qifeng, there were two elders who had just teleported over, and one more person was the recording official.

One was Elder Qin of the Ten Thousand Realms Commerce Guild, and the other was Elder Guang.

"Where is Elder Peng Sa?" Elder Qin, the moment he sat down, immediately asked about Peng Sa's whereabouts. He was at the seventh layer of Earth Immortal realm, yet he was one of the oldest elders of the Ten Thousand Realms Commerce Guild.

Jin Lingzi snorted: "The moment the auction ended, he left the Void Flying City. I don't even need to think to know what he went to do.

He went to intercept the cultivator who bought the Nine-Colored Immortal-Mortal Lotus. Once this kind of thing gets out, the reputation of our Ten Thousand Realms Commerce Guild will be utterly ruined."

Guan Qifeng was unwilling to get involved in these matters and said nothing.

Fu Ji Yuan Qi, however, said coldly: "I request the guild transfer Elder Peng back, otherwise following him around the Void Flying City will eventually cause trouble."

"Elders, something happened." A woman rushed in with an anxious face, so much so she even forgot to knock on the restriction.

Elder Qin's face turned cold: "Does our Ten Thousand Realms Commerce Guild still have rules? Don't you know we're in a meeting here?"

Only then did the woman come to her senses, and she quickly bowed and said: "It's truly that the matter is too big, I didn't dare delay even a single breath, that's why I came in urgently to report."

Guan Qifeng asked: "What matter?"

The woman hurriedly said: "It's the auction's transaction items—one Spirit-Blue Face Fruit, three drops of Hundred-Million-Year Sea Marrow, and a hundred catties of Seabed Green Crystal. These things were suddenly teleported away, I simply couldn't stop it…"

As she spoke, the woman's face was full of panic and unease. She knew this matter was no trivial thing, yet she happened to be the one in charge of organizing this auction's items.

Everyone sucked in a cold breath. These things that had been teleported away were all paid by that cultivator who purchased the Nine-Colored Immortal-Mortal Lotus.

Previously, they had also wanted to teleport the other's Nine-Colored Immortal-Mortal Lotus back; they hadn't expected the retribution to come so quickly.

This wasn't the most terrifying part. The most terrifying part was that the other party had carved teleportation array patterns onto the exchange items, and they hadn't discovered a single one.

As the largest commerce guild in the vast universe, the Ten Thousand Realms Commerce Guild normally wouldn't make such a low-level mistake of having auction items teleported away, because they would check them several times.

The fact that it happened this time shows that the teleportation array patterns the other party carved left absolutely no trace.

"You go out first, next time remember to knock on the restriction." Fu Ji Yuan Qi waved his hand at the panicked woman.

"Yes." The woman quickly bowed and retreated out of the meeting room.

"I knew that person wasn't simple. The moment he bought the Immortal Quyuan Flower and prevented the Nine-Colored Immortal-Mortal Lotus from being teleported, it explained everything." Jin Lingzi's face instead calmed down.

"Hmph, no matter who it is, daring to rob our Ten Thousand Realms Commerce Guild's things is a dead end." Elder Guang, who had remained silent, slammed the table and suddenly stood up.

Guan Qifeng spoke up: "If the other party wanted to take his things, he should have acted long ago. Why wait until now? I wonder if it's possible that Elder Peng Sa went to intercept him and thoroughly enraged this person?"

"Even if Elder Peng Sa went to intercept him, he still has no right to rob our guild's things. This matter…"

Elder Guang hadn't finished his sentence when the communication bead in his hand suddenly lit up.

His divine sense fell onto the communication bead, and his face immediately changed.

"What matter?" Elder Qin hurriedly asked, and the rest of them also looked at Elder Guang.

Elder Guang took a deep breath and slowly said: "Just now news came from the Peng family—Peng Sa's soul tablet shattered. They're asking what exactly happened? This matter has blown up."

Hearing this, the few people all looked at each other in dismay.

A shattered soul tablet meant Peng Sa had been killed.
