Chapter 665: This Is Deliberately Provoking Trouble

"What's going on?" Ding Huan leaned in as a pill landed in the mouth of the woman lying on the ground.

"Rainfall Divine Pill?" The man blocking Chu Bukian's eyes lit up—this was a valuable item.

This guy was tall and his gaze darted around—he clearly wasn't a good person.

"These people violated the rules of Qianlin Divine City, stole others' tokens, and even resisted arrest. We're enforcing the city's laws—what? Are you all accomplices?"

Chu Bukian, seeing someone had come to defend them, immediately cried out bitterly: "My consort and my sister and I are from the Lower Shenzhidi. We obtained a token from a sect of the Upper Shenzhidi—we're going to join that sect."

This man is Pu Xindao, guard captain of Qianlin Divine City. He blocked us—not only demanding my sister become his consort, but also trying to seize our sect token."

Ding Huan had changed his appearance; he didn't recognize him.

If he had recognized him, he wouldn't dare say this.

When he last saw Ding Huan hundreds of years ago, Ding Huan had just ascended to the Divine Realm.

Even if Ding Huan cultivated at the fastest pace possible, he couldn't possibly now stand against Pu Xindao.

"Heh, a few rule-breakers dare to twist right and wrong…" Pu Xindao chuckled, preparing to forcibly take them away.

And Ding Huan—he wouldn't let him go either.

Ding Huan was the one who had produced the Rainfall Divine Pill.

Ding Huan looked at the guard captain and sneered:

"Pu, you saw my sister just fused a Five-Star Divine Core Crystal, so you want her as your consort so you can slowly peel it off, right?

You being named Pu doesn't matter, but acting like this is despicable. You bully people like this—does your mother know?"

Most people here knew what Pu Xindao did, but no one dared challenge him.

Now that Ding Huan mentioned the Five-Star Divine Core Crystal, everyone's eyes gleamed with envy.

No one cared whether Chu Bukian was wronged—they cared only about the Five-Star Divine Core Crystal.

"You're asking for death…"

Pu Xindao spoke only three words before freezing, his eyes fixed on Ding Huan's palm.

In Ding Huan's palm lay a pure white Divine Core Crystal.

The crystal had not a single speck of impurity, radiating vast waves of Dao resonance.

This was the supreme-grade Five-Star Divine Core Crystal.

Not only Pu Xindao—everyone nearby was utterly stunned.

A pure white Five-Star Divine Core Crystal—whenever one appeared, it always triggered a bloodbath.

How clueless must this guy be to casually pull out a crystal of such rank?

Mo Changcan liked stirring up trouble too, but he lacked Ding Huan's talent for it.

Once this pure white Five-Star Divine Core Crystal was revealed, it meant bloodshed—they'd become targets for everyone.

They'd be hunted by countless powerful beings.

He was excited, but didn't understand why Ding Huan would do this.

Ding Huan never used to be this conspicuous before acting.

No—he should say that when his own interests weren't involved, Ding Huan wasn't this conspicuous; once his own interests were at stake, this guy was even more reckless than him.

Mo Changcan couldn't help glancing again at Chu Bukian—what was so special about this man that Ding Huan cared?

Seeing the pure white Five-Star Divine Core Crystal, Pu Xindao's eyes glowed—he couldn't hold back anymore. Without hesitation, he reached for Ding Huan's forehead.

For other things he might find an excuse—but this pure white Five-Star Divine Core Crystal? What excuse was needed? Just take it.

Ding Huan tucked away the Five-Star Divine Core Crystal and threw a punch.

Pu Xindao felt his domain shatter piece by piece, then death's aura sealed off every inch of his survival space.

"Stop…"

"Boom!"

Pu Xindao heard his own skull explode—his Primordial Spirit vanished under Ding Huan's fist.

Some fanatical cultivators, seeing Pu Xindao's head reduced to pulp, instantly calmed down.

The Five-Star Divine Core Crystal was naturally the supreme treasure.

But no matter how good something is, you must have the life to enjoy it.

Ding Huan opened his hand, seized Pu Xindao's ring, then engulfed him in a burst of flame.

Every motion flowed seamlessly, flawless.

Mo Changcan laughed loudly—he never expected Ding Huan was a kindred spirit; this move was almost more familiar to him than to himself.

"Thank you, senior elders, for saving us!" Chu Bukian hurried forward and bowed deeply.

Ding Huan pointed at the woman lying on the ground, now awake: "Go see your consort. Then stand aside."

Before Chu Bukian could answer, two shadows shot forward rapidly.

The crowd scattered instantly.

"Who dares cause trouble in Qianlin Divine City?" A man and woman descended—the man's face was as white as Bai Yu, his body suffused with flowing Dao resonance.

As he spoke, his eyes locked onto Ding Huan, his domain fully enclosing this space.

Ding Huan instantly recognized him—a World God at the peak.

The woman was tall and slender, wreathed in murderous aura—clearly she had killed countless souls.

"Senior, this man is Jue Qiongtian, the city lord of Qianlin Divine City. The woman is Deputy City Lord Wei Weier—his mistress.

The guard captain you killed, Pu Xindao, was his confidant; rumor says they share blood ties." Chu Bukian said beside Ding Huan.

Hearing this, Ding Huan admired Chu Bukian even more.

This guy saw clearly.

He knew flattering Jue Qiongtian was Bai Da—so he might as well stop pretending.

Ding Huan pulled out the Divine Fragment crystal again and said, "See that? Just now, when I took out this Divine Fragment crystal, that pimp tried to snatch it from me, so it's not our fault. Changcan, let's go." After saying that, Ding Huan turned and walked away.

Mo Changcan naturally turned and walked away as well.

Ju Qiongtian saw the five-star Divine Fragment crystal in Ding Huan's hand and his heart surged with wild joy.

He had never encountered a five-star Divine Fragment crystal of this rank before.

"No matter what happened, anyone who dares kill my Divine Forest City's Guard Captain is asking for death. Come with me to the city for interrogation."

As Ju Qiongtian spoke, he reached for Ding Huan.

Ding Huan, a mere Initial-Stage Divine Lord, was nothing but a grasshopper in his eyes.

Mo Changcan flung out his hand, and his long halberd whipped through the air, unleashing a torrent of killing intent that slammed into Ju Qiongtian.

"I'll handle this guy."

He was certain Ding Huan had pulled out the five-star Divine Fragment crystal on purpose—since he was looking for trouble, he must have had a plan.

>

Now that he was blocking Ju Qiongtian, it was best for Ding Huan to act.

"Very well. Even a petty city lord of Divine Forest City dares lay hands on me."

Ding Huan roared arrogantly, reached into space, and yanked out a long spear. The spear whipped up a curtain of spearlight and slammed into the city gate's protective array.

Wei Weier flew into a rage—she had always been the one killing others, and now Ding Huan was brazenly attacking Divine Forest City's protective array.

How could this be tolerated?

Divine Forest City was her cultivation ground—wasn't this the same as killing her?

Wei Weier summoned her long sword and lunged at Ding Huan.

Boom! Crack!

The Dao rhythm from Ju Qiongtian's punch collided with Mo Changcan's halberd Dao rhythm. The mighty Divine Energy shattered through his Dao realm, effortlessly tearing apart his Divine Dao rhythm—his hand bones snapped outright.

"World God?" Ju Qiongtian's face changed.

Mo Changcan's cultivation had long been stabilized—he looked like an ordinary cultivator.

He had truly not noticed before.

Now, after clashing with Mo Changcan, he realized just how strong Mo Changcan was.

Not only a World God, but one whose realm was flawless and whose Dao rhythm was boundlessly powerful.

If he dared underestimate Mo Changcan again, he might die here today.

Ju Qiongtian no longer dared fight barehanded—he summoned his artifact.

Puff!

Almost at the same moment Ju Qiongtian summoned his artifact, a streak of blood erupted.

Ju Qiongtian saw Ding Huan's spear effortlessly pierce through Wei Weier's skull—he went wild with rage and lunged toward Ding Huan.

But Mo Changcan would never let him escape so easily—his halberd's Divine killing formation and realm had already fully formed, completely enclosing Ju Qiongtian in a killing zone.

If Ju Qiongtian dared to be distracted even a moment, he would follow Wei Weier into death.

Ding Huan ignored Ju Qiongtian and slammed his spear into Divine Forest City's protective array.

He had full trust in Mo Changcan's strength.

This man had once fought a Divine King for several blows while still in the Divine Lord realm.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

He struck over a dozen times in succession.

The space trembled repeatedly; distant onlookers trembled with fear, and those coveting Ding Huan's Divine Fragment crystal were filled with dread.

Two lunatics had come today.

They not only killed the city lord, but attacked the city's protective array.

The city's protective array was protected by the entire Divine Realm.

Anyone who dared touch a Divine City was declaring war on the entire Divine World.

Ding Huan paid no mind to any of this—he summoned another wave of Divine Dao rhythm and slammed his spear down again.

Crack!

The city's protective array shattered completely.

Ding Huan stormed into the city and landed outside the Lord's Mansion in an instant.

Dozens of array flags dropped. In mere moments, he extracted one mid-grade Divine Spirit vein and one high-grade Divine Spirit vein.

He hadn't pulled out the five-star Divine Fragment crystal to cause himself trouble—he had come for this high-grade Divine Spirit vein.

Ding Huan had wandered Dao Xu Street for a long time.

He had visited many merchant towers and inns.

But the Divine Spirit energy there was rarely ever from a high-grade Divine Spirit vein.

Today was the first time Ding Huan had seen a high-grade Divine Spirit vein—if he didn't find an excuse to extract it now, when would he ever see another?

The city lord of Divine Forest City provoked him and tried to steal his things. In his fury, he extracted the high-grade Divine Spirit vein—no matter where he took this argument, it would hold.

The high-grade Divine Spirit vein was concealed beneath a hidden sealing array, but it could not escape Ding Huan's Divine Sense perception.

Far away, Ju Qiongtian, still battling Mo Changcan, felt the city's protective array tear open and the high-grade Divine Spirit vein being ripped away—he went mad.

This was his key to ascending to Divine King. Without this high-grade Divine Spirit vein, how could he ever ascend?

But before he could rush back to attack Ding Huan, Ding Huan's spear slammed into his back.

Ju Qiongtian felt his realm crack open with a series of snaps—before he could even strike at Ding Huan, Mo Changcan's halberd had torn through his forehead.

"Let's go." Ding Huan called to Mo Changcan, then signaled to Chu Bukian.
