Chapter 683: Today, I Just Have to Meddle in This Matter

Hu Dongjian's excitement was genuine; he was already calling out loudly:

"Senior-Apprentice Uncle Lan, Senior-Apprentice Brother Meng, Senior-Apprentice Sister Bing. I haven't guessed wrong—it's Senior Ding who back then took the Nine-Colored Void Lotus and saved Senior-Apprentice Brother Meng's physical body."

The people behind had already hurried over, and that tall, jade-like man likewise bowed to the ground before Ding Huan:

"Meng Danjian of the Myriad Dan Divine Sect greets Senior; many thanks for Senior's life-saving grace."

Before Ding Huan could speak, the two women had also walked over; the elder woman also bowed and said: "Lan Li greets Daoist Friend Ding; many thanks, Daoist Friend, for saving our Myriad Dan Divine Sect's Young Sect Master."

The last young woman could only offer her greetings with some unwillingness.

Before this young woman could speak, Ding Huan opened his mouth and said: "Bing Shuangfeng, where is your dao companion Jiulin?"

Ding Huan said it on purpose; he was certain Meng Danjian and this Bing Shuangfeng had some entanglement.

Meng Danjian still didn't know Bing Shuangfeng had another man.

Meng Danjian was still somewhat grateful, and since his impression of Hu Dongjian wasn't bad either, he simply gave this fellow a heads-up.

Moreover, this woman Bing Shuangfeng—he found her unpleasant to look at the moment he saw her.

This woman was probably the type who loved freeloading the most.

He guessed that until now, Meng Danjian hadn't discovered this woman had been cuckolding him.

Sure enough, upon hearing Ding Huan's words, the expressions of everyone from the Myriad Dan Divine Sect changed.

Bing Shuangfeng's face went even paler.

She absolutely could not be exposed.

But Ding Huan's voice continued: "You do have some skill, to actually be able to escape from that place."

His tone was full of mockery.

"Senior, Senior-Apprentice Brother Zuo and I have nothing—absolutely nothing…"

Meng Danjian's hands were trembling: "Bing Shuangfeng, you—you actually…"

His face flushed a bruised purple, and he couldn't get a single complete sentence out.

Lan Li looked coldly at Bing Shuangfeng: "I always thought it was you who schemed against the Old Sect Master and your Senior-Apprentice Brother, but I never expected there was also Zuo Jiulin of the Moon Stem Holy Sect."

"Senior-Apprentice Uncle, are you saying my father and Senior-Apprentice Brother both died at Bing Shuangfeng's hands?" Meng Danjian's whole body was trembling.

He had even planned to hand the position of Myriad Dan Divine Sect Master over to Bing Shuangfeng, and then go into closed-door cultivation himself.

He never expected that the woman he cared about most had, in fact, colluded with her lover to murder his father and Senior-Apprentice Brother.

If his father and Senior-Apprentice Brother died at this woman's hands, then the damage to his own physical body was absolutely related to this woman as well.

"Senior, I really and Zuo—"

Bing Shuangfeng tried to explain again.

Ding Huan said coldly: "If sleeping together doesn't count as having a relationship, then I suppose I've wronged you."

What Ding Huan was most sensitive to were the Great Dao rules and the billions of laws between heaven and earth.

When this woman and that fellow called Jiulin appeared together, Ding Huan sensed that the two had just finished dual cultivation not long ago.

The Dao-rhythmic auras on their bodies were still interweaving with each other; it simply couldn't escape his eyes.

Sure enough, upon hearing Ding Huan's words, Bing Shuangfeng's face grew even paler.

Lan Li suddenly struck out, slapping toward Bing Shuangfeng.

Bing Shuangfeng flew backward in retreat; her cultivation was, shockingly, already at the peak of Divine Monarch.

Ding Huan was stunned.

He immediately became certain that this Bing Shuangfeng had definitely obtained some heaven-defying treasure or some fortuitous encounter in the recent period.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to advance to the peak of Divine Monarch in such a short time.

Perhaps knowing that no matter how she explained, it would all be useless.

Bing Shuangfeng simply said loudly: "You dare touch me? The Moon Stem Holy Sect will absolutely not let you off."

"Even if the Moon Stem Holy Sect kills me on the spot, I, Meng Danjian, must still avenge my father and Senior-Apprentice Brother." As Meng Danjian spoke, he very decisively summoned his long sword.

Those who love to the extreme can generally hate to the extreme.

At this moment, Meng Danjian's desire to kill Bing Shuangfeng was fiercer than anyone's; he wished he could tear Bing Shuangfeng into ten thousand pieces right now.

"Try touching Shuangfeng if you have the guts." An ice-cold voice came over.

What followed was a middle-aged man.

This was actually a Divine King, and a mid-stage Divine King at that.

After this middle-aged man arrived, he immediately went up to Yuan Qing and the others to bow and offer greetings.

Ding Huan also learned from the conversation between Yuan Qing and the others and him that this fellow was the Moon Stem Holy Sect's Sect Master, Qi Yi.

A Sect Master of a mid-tier divine land was actually a mid-stage Divine King—quite rare indeed.

After Qi Yi exchanged greetings with each of the Sect Masters like Yuan Qing, he then looked toward Lan Li and the others:

"Heh heh, your Myriad Dan Divine Sect is impressive, isn't it—even interfering in the affairs of my Moon Stem Holy Sect, and even wanting to kill a disciple of my Moon Stem Holy Sect."

Meng Danjian's eyes were blood-red; he could only forcibly swallow this breath back down.

He was very clear that if he dared talk back or make a move today, then tomorrow the Myriad Dan Divine Sect would be finished.

As for the few of them, today they would all be slaughtered.

But Hu Dongjian was a hothead; he loudly rebuked:

"Even if you're a Divine King sect, does that mean you don't have to reason anymore? Bing Shuangfeng is clearly a disciple of the Myriad Dan Divine Sect.

Moreover, this matter is also an internal affair of our Myriad Dan Divine Sect; for your Moon Stem Holy Sect to directly interfere, isn't that going too far?"

In fact, what Hu Dongjian said was very reasonable.

This was indeed a matter of the Myriad Dan Divine Sect.

Even if Bing Shuangfeng's lover Jiulin was a disciple of the Moon Stem Holy Sect, the Moon Stem Holy Sect had no right to interfere in the Myriad Dan Divine Sect.

"I, Qi Yi, am taking charge of this matter today—what does the Wan Dan Divine Sect have to say about it?" Qi Yi spoke without the slightest regard for Ji Yuan Qing, the Alliance Lord.

Ding Huan was also surprised.

What gave this guy such confidence?

Ding Huan saw Meng Danjian and the others trembling with rage, yet not daring to utter a word.

Let alone dare to strike.

It was certain that Meng Danjian and the others couldn't even leave now, because Qi Yi wouldn't let them go.

Weakness is the original sin.

Ding Huan was utterly helpless—wasn't Ji Yuan Qing right here? Couldn't they just file a complaint?

In truth, Ding Huan didn't understand the sorrow of these mid-tier sects. Though the human race had the Tiancaishen Alliance, who would step forward to intervene when a powerful sect wiped out a weak one?

Lan Li and the others didn't file complaints because they knew it was pointless.

If Ji Yuan Qing and the others didn't lift a finger to help Qi Yi, that was already a blessing—could they possibly expect Ji Yuan Qing to stand up for them and punish Qi Yi?

Ding Huan could no longer bear it. He spoke calmly:

"You Qi Yi are so mighty—why are you hiding in this place? You should go wipe out the Divine Race, shatter the universe, and dominate the chaos."

"Staying here in Dao Xu Street to bully disciples far weaker than you—what a true talent you are."

Only then did Qi Yi notice Ding Huan. Earlier, he'd merely felt Ding Huan was familiar, but since he was focused on handling Bing Shuangfeng's matter, he hadn't thought much of it.

Now that Ding Huan spoke, when Qi Yi looked at him again, he immediately recognized him.

"You… you're Ding Huan?" Qi Yi couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

At this moment, he forgot even Ding Huan's earlier mockery—Ding Huan's value was simply too great.

Ding Huan—he's the one who can walk through the Cycle Swamp! If you get this guy, why worry about Qi Yun Stones?

Wait—didn't Ji Yuan Qing and these sect masters even recognize Ding Huan?

Qi Yi calmed down.

"It's me, your Lord Huan—your Lord Huan is taking charge of this matter today. What does the Yuegan Holy Sect have to say about it? Your Lord Huan is taking charge of that too."

Ding Huan's lazy voice landed in Qi Yi's ears.

Qi Yi froze—wasn't that exactly what he'd just said himself?

Qi Yi turned to Ji Yuan Qing and the other Divine Kings.

He found their expressions unchanged, as if they had nothing special to say.

He'd rushed here in haste, only hearing that a great battle had taken place.

The scene was indeed in shambles.

Bloodstains still dotted the ground…

"Alliance Lord Yuan, this Ding Huan once killed the Lord of Ganlin Divine City in the Central Divine Lands and drained two Divine Spirit Veins. I recommend capturing him immediately."

Qi Yi bowed and said.

He didn't act—only spoke—because he sensed something was off.

Though he'd just arrived, the situation before him felt strange.

Both Ji Yuan Qing and Wu Danzi were the most eager to capture Ding Huan—why were they silent?

This wasn't normal.

Ji Yuan Qing's lips twitched. Did he not know Ding Huan had killed the Lord of Ganlin Divine City in the Central Divine Lands? Did he not know Ding Huan's value?

Do you need Qi Yi to remind you? Are all these people blind, and only you have sharp eyes?

"Lao Mo, I leave this guy to you."

Ding Huan knew Mo Changcan had been depressed for not opening Xingchen Divine King's world—he might as well give him another Divine King's world to practice on.

Qi Yi's strength surpassed Mo Changcan's, but what did that matter?

He was watching here—could Mo Changcan possibly be at a disadvantage?

Hearing Ding Huan had granted him another Divine King, Mo Changcan laughed heartily, his long halberd sweeping out as it slammed toward Qi Yi.

Now that Mo Changcan had moved, Ding Huan naturally wouldn't stand idle.

His domain immediately layered atop Mo Changcan's.

Boom! The collision of domains shattered the Dao resonance.

Qi Yi was stunned by the power of Mo Changcan's domain—if he didn't counter, he'd be suppressed.

He could only raise his hand and unleashed his treasure.

Mo Changcan knew his domain could never match Qi Yi's directly—yet now his domain wasn't inferior, the only possible explanation was Ding Huan's domain layered atop his.

Ding Huan really had some skill—this domain overlay had gone completely unnoticed even by himself.

Even more violent divine energy exploded—Mo Changcan spat a jet of blood, his body flying backward, his halberd nearly ripped from his grip.

Almost simultaneously, Ding Huan's Huanghua Kill struck deep into Qi Yi's spiritual perception domain.

Qi Yi's divine energy faltered; his follow-up spiritual techniques collapsed. Mo Changcan, though thrown back, halted his retreat—and his halberd never fell.

Qi Yi was stunned.

Mo Changcan was clearly not yet a Divine King—yet he'd managed to ambush him through spiritual perception.

He hadn't suspected Ding Huan, because the Huanghua Kill attacking his mind domain bore the exact same divine energy and spiritual perception aura as Mo Changcan's.

Qi Yi was stunned inside, but sneered aloud: "Is that all you've got? You dare attack me? If so, then die."

Ding Huan sneered inwardly—did Qi Yi really think his Huanghua Kill was merely to help Mo Changcan escape?

The Huanghua Kill's role as aid was secondary; its true purpose was to poison directly through Huanghua Kill.

At this moment, both Fugu Shidao and Chendao Poison had saturated Qi Yi's mind domain.
