Chapter 590: Ding Huan, the One Who Loves to Stir Up Trouble

The frail Immortal Lord fell silent after hearing Heng Luanner's words, as if pondering some issue.

Heng Luanner added again: "To seize the Great Dao Corridor and the Light Heaven, only the Immortal Lord himself can go."

"There is still a primordial treasure in the Great Dao Corridor, called the Heaven's Dao Qiankun Veil. According to my investigation, this Heaven's Dao Qiankun Veil is likely the lost supreme treasure of the Buddhist sect, the Qiankun Yuanjian."

Upon hearing this, the frail man narrowed his eyes slightly, then nodded: "Then let us return to the Immortal Lord's Hall to discuss further."

Heng Luanner felt a wave of relief.

Previously, they had been barred from leaving—this showed the Truli Immortal Lord was furious; now that the Immortal Lord invited them to the Immortal Lord's Hall for negotiation, it meant she had passed her first trial.

"Immortal Lord, Heng Luanner killed all of my Ku family's people who served the Moon Travel Heaven without cause. I beg the Immortal Lord to uphold justice for the Ku family."

Hearing the Immortal Lord permit Heng Luanner to enter the Immortal Lord's Hall, the handsome man from the Ku family stepped forward again.

His tone was calm and unhurried, yet Ding Huan had already sensed the intense killing intent hidden beneath.

Clearly, this man was not afraid of the Immortal Lord.

Ding Huan did not think the handsome young man of the Ku family was arrogant—he believed this man was no weaker than the frail Immortal Lord.

This man's cultivation technique was extremely strange.

The frail Immortal Lord frowned slightly, then turned to Heng Luanner:

"Heng Luanner, you are also an Immortal Lord of the Heng clan. The Ku family has contributed greatly to the Moon Travel Heaven. You must give Ku Yu Chen Immortal Lord an explanation for this matter."

Both were Immortal Lords, but whether Heng Luanner or Ku Ku Yu Chen, they were merely Immortal Lords of their respective clans—essentially clan chieftains.

But the frail man was different—he was the Truli Immortal Lord of the entire Moon Travel Heaven, the one who controlled the other clan chieftains.

In the Pangu Great World, the Truli Immortal Lord was equivalent to a Heavenly Emperor.

After Heng Luanner replied "Yes," she turned to Ding Huan and said:

"Ding Dao friend, this is the Truli Immortal Lord of the Moon Travel Heaven. When we stand before the Immortal Lord, speak the truth, understood?"

"Of course," Ding Huan replied calmly.

He was thinking: if the Truli Immortal Lord and the Ku clan's Immortal Lord fought, who would prevail?

Heng Luanner then said: "Immortal Lord, Elder Ku Yu Chen, this matter began when our Moon Travel Immortal Vessel encountered Ding Xiaotu Daofriend's spaceship in the void."

"Elder Ku Wang brought Ku Qier to investigate, after which Daofriend Ding and Elder Ku Wang clashed, resulting in the accidental death of Ku Qier…"

As Heng Luanner spoke these words, dozens of deadly divine senses fell upon Ding Huan.

The frail Truli Immortal Lord also turned to Ding Huan: "Ding Xiaotu, what exactly was the conflict?"

Ding Huan stared blankly at Heng Luanner—how proud was this woman, to think she must shoulder responsibility for them?

Him not fearing their ambush was one thing; defending this woman and taking the bullets for her was another.

Ding Huan said calmly: "I was in seclusion aboard my spaceship when it was suddenly attacked. When I emerged, I saw a man and a woman assaulting my ship's protective array…"

Upon hearing this, Ku Ku Yu Chen's expression darkened.

The Moon Travel Heaven was not a place for reason, but when both sides were evenly matched, and a neutral party asked for an explanation, reason had to be given—whose logic was stronger, the stronger side prevailed.

"I asked why they attacked my ship's prohibitions. The man said their vessel master ordered them to attack my ship."

"They demanded I surrender my spaceship voluntarily, or their vessel master would leave me stranded forever in this void…"

Upon hearing Ding Huan's words, Heng Luanner immediately frowned—this was not how it happened.

Yet she recalled that Ku Feng aboard the Moon Travel Immortal Vessel was also a vessel master—perhaps Ku Wang had acted on Ku Feng's orders.

Ku Ku Yu Chen's eyes lit up—any pretext for action would do.

"Which vessel master ordered Ku Wang to attack your ship's prohibitions?" the Truli Immortal Lord asked, his tone still calm.

Ding Huan said: "He said it was Heng Vessel Master. I don't know which specific Heng Vessel Master."

"You're lying," Heng Luanner said, her face turning icy as she glared at Ding Huan.

Ku Ku Yu Chen chuckled: "Heng Luan ner, you brought this witness back. Now that the witness speaks, you say he lies—is it only when the Truli Immortal Lord orders the Ku family eradicated from the Moon Travel Heaven that it's not a lie?"

Hearing this, Heng Luanner's expression shifted constantly, yet she could not find suitable words to explain.

A nearby Immortal Emperor at the peak of his realm spoke slowly: "Whether this Ding Daofriend is lying, I believe many can see clearly."

"His aura is steady, his Dao rhythm undisturbed—he is clearly telling the truth."

Ding Huan sneered inwardly—only the Truli Immortal Lord might detect his lie, and even he couldn't.

To detect his lie, one needed not only far superior strength, but also far deeper comprehension of the Dao.

Hearing this, Heng Luanner suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

She knew better than anyone whether Ding Huan was lying.

Yet even a peak Immortal Emperor could not detect his lie, and the Truli Immortal Lord showed no sign of suspicion—clearly, Ding Huan's strength far exceeded her expectations.

At this moment, she finally understood.

Ding Huan was not afraid of the Truli Immortal Lord at all.

Think of how Ding Huan crushed Yuan Chihong with one punch, and crippled Ku Wang with another—only the Truli Immortal Lord himself could match that.

Ding Huan lied because he resented her using him as a blade—he wanted them to fight among themselves first.

This man was silent, not only cunning and scheming, but also extremely powerful.

Ding Huan's true reason for coming to the Moon Travel Heaven was probably not fear of them—he truly wanted to come here.

Heng Luanner suddenly felt regret—regret bringing Ding Huan to the Moon Travel Heaven.

The Truli Immortal Lord looked at Ding Huan: "Continue."

Ding Huan said calmly: "My spaceship, of course, would not allow others to seize it, so I used its imprisoning and killing Immortal Array to resist."

"My strength is decent. Though my spirit was badly wounded at the time, the man who attacked me also suffered minor injuries."

"After returning to the Immortal Vessel, the man who attacked me immediately led a hundred spaceships to surround me completely."

"To be honest, I was terrified at the time…"

"Cough, cough…" As he spoke the last four words, Ding Huan felt a strange dissonance; he coughed a few more times before continuing:

"Just as I was about to surrender, to my pleasant surprise, Fairy Luan came to my rescue—she used the dao-pattern main cannons on the warship to blast all those hundred ships to oblivion.

Not only that, she also led people to surround and kill those who hadn't been blasted to death in the void. I'm very grateful to her—she's a righteous fairy."

"Heng Luan'er, do you have anything else to say?" Ku Ku Yu Chen stared coldly at Heng Luan'er, his killing intent almost solidifying into substance.

Heng Luan'er took a deep look at Ding Huan, then bowed to the Tuli Immortal Lord:

"Immortal Lord, the Ku clan violated your instructions—taking the initiative to provoke trouble midway and intercepting unrelated stranger ships, that is one.

After Ding Xiaotu killed Ku Qi'er and grievously wounded Ku Wang, Ku Feng led the Ku clan members to forcibly initiate the hundred-ship siege strategy. For this, Ku Feng also killed Heng Xiang of the Heng clan and Yuan Kuang of the Yuan clan.

Simply because Heng Xiang and Yuan Kuang followed the Immortal Lord's instructions and tried to stop them from doing so, they struck them down ruthlessly."

Ding Huan was unwilling to follow his own version of events, so Heng Luan'er could only speak for herself.

She could also tell that Ding Huan's presence here was definitely not simple; arguing right and wrong with Ding Huan now was meaningless.

"Is this the reason and justification for wiping out the Ku clan? If a fairy clan that has struggled for Moon-Walk Heaven for years is destroyed over such a trivial matter, won't it chill people's hearts?" Ku Ku Yu Chen's voice grew increasingly icy.

The onlookers could all see that if the Tuli Immortal Lord weren't present, Ku Ku Yu Chen might have already made a move long ago.

Heng Luan'er took a deep breath: "Must you really make me speak the truth?"

Ku Ku Yu Chen said coldly: "There is nothing my Ku fairy clan does that cannot be told to outsiders."

Heng Luan'er bowed once more to the Tuli Immortal Lord: "The real reason is that the Ku clan wanted to kill everyone on the Moon-Walk Immortal Ship who wasn't of the Ku clan, and then take control of the Moon-Walk Immortal Ship.

They had only one purpose—they didn't want the matter of Light Bright Heaven being found to be exposed, because the Ku clan wanted to monopolize Light Bright Heaven."

Everyone fell silent.

The earlier talk of intercepting ships, of killing Heng Xiang and Yuan Kuang who were guarding the ships—all that was just an excuse.

Wanting to monopolize Light Bright Heaven—that was probably the Ku clan's true objective.

"Guards, seize Ding Xiaotu and bring him to the Immortal Lord's Hall for interrogation." The Tuli Immortal Lord's gentle voice finally turned cold.

Sensing killing intent and divine thoughts falling on him one after another, Ding Huan transmitted his voice to Ku Ku Yu Chen before these people could make a move:

"Immortal Lord Ku, if you make a move against the Tuli Immortal Lord, I guarantee I'll help you hold off everyone on this Moon-Walk warship.

If you're unwilling to act, then the testimony that follows won't be very friendly to your Ku clan."

Almost the instant Ding Huan's transmission fell, two shadows beside the Tuli Immortal Lord pounced toward Ding Huan.

At the same time, the space around Ding Huan was completely locked down by these two men's domains; two streams of death aura blasted toward Ding Huan from left and right.

Ding Huan spread his hand, and a top-grade immortal-grade spear appeared in his grip; he immediately swept out a burst of spear light, his domain also locking down the two late-stage Immortal Emperors who had rushed up to ambush him.

This Tuli Immortal Lord is no good—knowing full well that one punch from him grievously wounded Ku Wang, he still dares to use two late-stage Immortal Emperors against him.

The moment these two late-stage Immortal Emperors arrived above the warship, they felt the space around them grow viscous.

Both men's faces changed drastically—this was definitely a Great Dao domain exceeding late Immortal Emperor perfection.

Under such a domain, how could they still fight?

The magic treasures they offered up became extremely slow; Ding Huan, however, would not indulge these two fellows—the spear light wrapped up by his spear instantly locked down all vitality for the two men.

"Pu! Pu!"

Two streaks of blood light exploded; the two late-stage Immortal Emperors had just arrived above the warship when they fell from the sky.

To outsiders, it looked as if these two had deliberately offered themselves up for Ding Huan to kill.

Everyone was stunned; Ku Ku Yu Chen's eyes lit up.

If before he hadn't taken Ding Huan's proposal to heart, now that Ding Huan had easily killed two late-stage Immortal Emperors, today was the day he would take down the Tuli Immortal Lord.
