Chapter 658

Ding Huan decided to let Qu Yi and Luo Huan'er enter his Five Elements World first, then intervene to help the young man with a red silk headband and a long halberd.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

This man effortlessly killed four Divine Lords and three Heaven God cultivators with a single halberd strike—he was either a World God at the early stage or a Divine Lord at the peak.

At that moment, a thunderous boom erupted.

Immediately, the young man with the red silk headband reappeared in the center of the square.

Fractured Dao rhythms surged wildly, plunging the entire Dao Xu Square into chaos.

Ding Huan turned back and said to Qu Yi and Luo Huan'er:

"Look—you did something useful. Otherwise, this man would be dead."

The young man tore open the space of this True Spirit World, causing its spatial laws to collapse and its Dao rhythms to shatter.

Fortunately, this True Spirit World was of low rank; otherwise, all lower-level cultivators here would have been obliterated.

The reason the young man could tear open that True Spirit World's space was because Qu Yi and Luo Huan'er had helped.

These two had spent over a decade hollowing out this True Spirit World until it was weak enough for the young man to break through.

Not only that—they destroyed the True Spirit World itself.

The gaunt Divine King, seeing his True Spirit World destroyed, flew into a rage and raised his hand to strike the young man.

The young man flashed away, slipping into Dao Xu Street before the Divine King's domain could lock onto him, vanishing quickly.

Dao Xu Street had one advantage: no matter what happened, if you had the strength to break into it, half your escape was already assured.

Dao Xu Street was packed with too many people; in such a crowded thoroughfare, no one dared unleash grand divine arts.

The Divine King chased after him, but Ding Huan paid no further attention.

Even if the young man were merely a World God, once he entered Dao Xu Street, the Divine King could never catch him.

"Let's go find a place to rest," Ding Huan said to Qu Yi and Luo Huan'er.

The Dao Xu Square was now in chaos, and with the Divine Clan's incident, Ding Huan's escape had been pushed to the bottom of everyone's concerns.

"Big Brother Ding, aren't we leaving this place now?" Luo Huan'er asked, puzzled.

Logically, we should leave immediately.

Ding Huan wiped his face again, his appearance shifting back into that of a middle-aged man.

Qu Yi wasn't surprised—she had seen the Transformation Technique before.

Luo Huan'er, who had been too terrified to notice earlier, now saw it clearly and clapped a hand over her mouth—this technique was utterly shocking.

How much stronger was this than mere disguise?

"The Dao Xu Guild schemed against me. Since I've come, I'll naturally collect some interest."

"Go to the Feiyang Guild's Rest Inn—I've been staying there all along…" Luo Huan'er hurriedly said.

The Feiyang Guild is still here?

Ding Huan had assumed that after the Dao Xu Guild abandoned him, they'd been erased from Dao Xu Street—he never imagined the Feiyang Guild still had a rest inn clinging to life here.

The three quickly checked into a room at the Feiyang Rest Inn.

Qu Yi had countless things to say to Ding Huan, but she was still dazed and couldn't find where to begin.

Luo Huan'er sensed the unusual bond between Qu Yi and Ding Huan, and stood up: "Big Brother Ding, I'll go train for a while."

Ding Huan waved his hand: "Wait—I'll heal your injuries first. After that, leave Dao Xu Street and wait for me outside."

"Ding Huan…" Qu Yi, hearing he wanted her to leave, finally snapped back to clarity.

Right.

Back on Earth, it was because Ding Huan left first that she never saw him again.

It wasn't until centuries later, in this distant Divine Realm continent, that she encountered Ding Huan again.

That was only because he was wanted—had he not been wanted, the Divine Realm was boundless; could she have ever found him again?

Today, Ding Huan was telling her to leave again—she didn't want to go.

"My cultivation is low, but I haven't wasted these years—I can still lend a hand," Qu Yi decided instantly—she wouldn't leave.

She had a premonition: if she left now, she would miss Ding Huan again.

"Big Brother Ding, I've cultivated a technique—Wind-Listening Divine Ear—it might help you," Luo Huan'er quickly said.

Ding Huan was about to speak when his divine sense suddenly detected a burly man with a face full of scars entering the Dao Xu Guild's building.

His aura was sluggish—he was badly injured.

A Divine King of the Dao Xu Guild.

He must have been severely wounded fighting Divine Clan cultivators; since he returned to heal, the Divine Clan's invasion must be over.

His original plan was to blow up every single guild building.

But this was Dao Xu Street—he had to be cautious.

Otherwise, he would have directly planted the Bone-Clinging Dao-Poison and Sunken-Dao Poison laws across all Dao Xu Guild shops and rest inns.

But his cultivation was still too low—he hadn't yet mastered those poison laws to that degree.

If he truly planted those two poison laws, the entire Dao Xu Street would suffer.

Countless innocents would die.

That's why he chose to detonate every shop and building of the Dao Xu Guild instead.

Now that he saw this Dao Xu Guild Divine King—wounded, barely clinging to life—what was there left to hesitate about?

This Divine King must be killed. Only half an hour had passed when Qu Yi and Luo Huan'er looked at Ding Huan in delight.

Only half an hour passed before Qu Yi and Luo Huan'er stared at Ding Huan in delight.

Their injuries were gone; their shattered bones were no longer merely superficially repaired—they were flawless.

Ding Huan exchanged communication beads with them and said: "Trust me—I'll be out soon. Once you leave Dao Xu Street, pick a direction and keep moving."

【61】 Qu Yi refused to leave.

At that very moment, an abrupt voice echoed throughout Dao Xu Street:

"From now on, no one is allowed to leave Dao Xu Street."

Ding Huan frowned; the speaker was the Divine King who had been chasing the youth with the red silk tied around his head—his voice was unmistakable.

Ding Huan realized: the youth had truly not escaped.

Either the youth refused to leave, or this Divine King truly had some skill.

"Qu Yi, Luo Huan'er, I have a True Spirit World—why don't you enter it? With your strength, you can't help me anyway."

Unless absolutely necessary, Ding Huan truly did not want others entering his world.

"Ding Huan, don't underestimate me—I'm a Level Three Divine Array Master; I can help you," Qu Yi said urgently.

She did not mention that, by sheer luck, she had also become a Level Four Divine Pill Master.

Because in this place, a Divine Pill Master seemed to offer little help to Ding Huan.

Ding Huan was stunned: Qu Yi, after cultivating to the later stage of the Spirit Nurturing Realm, had become a Level Three Divine Array Master?

This was not something mere talent could achieve—it required top-tier fortune.

Considering Qu Yi had come to the Divine Realm alone, she must have gained an extraordinary stroke of fortune.

"Qu Yi, you still can't help me now—believe me."

If Qu Yi were a Level Four Divine Array Master, even capable of carving Void Array Patterns, then she truly could help him.

Hearing Ding Huan's words, Qu Yi's eyes dimmed.

Since deciding on Earth to pursue Ding Huan, she had been pushing herself relentlessly.

Yet despite gaining so much fortune, even arriving in the Divine Realm, she still could not help Ding Huan.

Ding Huan paid no attention to Qu Yi; his divine sense settled on a wandering cultivator-merchant in the reception hall of Xi Zhan.

The man had disguised himself through techniques, but the Dao aura radiating from his body could not escape Ding Huan's perception.

He was the youth with the red silk tied around his head.

Judging by his demeanor, he seemed to have nowhere else to go and intended to stay at Feiyang Xi Zhan.

Ding Huan sent a voice message: "Friend, come to Room Jia-16 on the top floor."

The youth froze, sent out his divine sense, and found no suspicious figures nearby.

He knew at once that the one who had sent him this message possessed formidable divine sense.

This strength was not ordinary—it was the density and mastery of divine sense.

After only a moment's hesitation, he swiftly entered Xi Zhan and arrived at Ding Huan's room door.

The door and its seals opened.

He saw Ding Huan, Qu Yi, and Luo Huan'er.

"Come in and chat," Ding Huan invited.

The youth noticed Ding Huan's cultivation seemed low, and Qu Yi and Luo Huan'er were merely at the Spirit Nurturing Realm—cultivation levels he could barely acknowledge.

He walked into the room without hesitation.

"You invited me in—aren't you afraid I'll attack you?" The youth sat down without ceremony.

Ding Huan closed the door and activated the seals:

"If you're willing to kill your benefactor, then I've misjudged you."

Benefactor?

The youth frowned, studying Ding Huan up and down—he did not recall ever meeting Ding Huan.

In his eyes, Ding Huan was almost certainly disguised as well.

"When you were trapped in the True Spirit World on Dao Xu Street, how did you tear it open?" Ding Huan asked.

"You know me?" The youth stared wide-eyed at Ding Huan.

His disguise was not the strongest, but how could an ordinary person possibly see through it?

If Ding Huan could see through his disguise, how could he have fooled a Divine King?

No—he suddenly remembered: after being trapped in that True Spirit World, he had found its weakest point in the shortest time and shattered it with a single spear thrust.

Had someone really helped him? How was that possible?

"I'm Ding Huan—I'm disguised too," Ding Huan did not hide it.

"So you're the one…"

The youth did not finish; Ding Huan's name was known to all.

The reason? Ding Huan possessed a method to remain afloat in the Cycle Swamp.

Since the man was Ding Huan, he would never scheme against him.

There were more people here seeking to capture Ding Huan than those seeking to capture him.

"I am Mo Changcan. Though I don't know how you saved me, I believe you won't deceive me," the youth stood, clasped his fists, and spoke sincerely.

Ding Huan gestured to Qu Yi and Luo Huan'er:

"It was they who saved you. The True Spirit World you entered had a flaw because they had spent over a decade digging beneath it."

Thanks to those years of excavation, you were able to shatter the True Spirit World and escape in one strike."

(Friend, good night!)
