Chapter 822: No Need to Plan Anything

"The Qu Family's Dao Court is hunting me everywhere. I plan to wipe this Dao Court out root and branch."

There was one more thing Ding Huan did not say: even if the Qu Family's Dao Court did not hunt him down, sooner or later he would still wipe the Qu Family's Dao Court out.

He was not the type to meddle in other people's business. In fact, if he had not needed Guan Huan's help this time, he was not even sure he would have lifted a finger for Guan Huan now.

But back on Earth he had learned one saying: "A true man knows what to do and what not to do."

Cultivators all live for themselves; selfishness is perfectly normal.

He, Ding Huan, was just as selfish—good things, he wanted to snatch them too.

Yet he would never allow a clan that cultivated by using innocent planets to exist, let alone allow such an art to exist.

Trash like the Qu Family who cultivated the Great Planet Art—if he did not kill them, he would be letting his blade down.

"Ah…"

Guan Huan had never been the type to stir up trouble; in most matters, he endured whenever he could.

Although over the years, as his cultivation rose and his confidence grew, he was no longer the same repressing person he once was, he still would not be so arrogant as to want to wipe out an entire Dao Court just because they had put out a warrant for him.

Even when he had been pinned by Chang Yun, the Dao Lord of the Long Star Dao Court, outside—

the Heavenly Abyss Dao City, he had never once thought of destroying the Long Star Dao Court.

At most, he would have gone and killed Chang Yun.

"But Brother Ding, the Qu Family's Dao Court has nearly a hundred billion people in total. You mean…"

Guan Huan was stunned by Ding Huan's words.

Ding Huan clapped Guan Huan on the shoulder: "Old Guan, you're overthinking it. I only need to kill the Qu Family people. You just help me deal with those Eternal Life realm powerhouses; the rest, I can handle on my own."

He truly wanted to exterminate the Qu Family to the last, and at the very least make the Great Planet Art go extinct here.

Hearing this, Guan Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Qu Family's Dao Court was established by the Qu Family; if one only counted the Qu Family's direct bloodline, there were not actually that many.

"This favor, I'm helping you for sure. Actually, it isn't even really doing you a favor. Even without you, I would have gone to kill that bastard Qu Ge.

If not for that bastard, how could I have been schemed against by Chang Yun and then pinned at Heavenly Abyss Dao City?"

After speaking, Guan Huan seemed to remember something and added: "Qu Ge's little tricks are nothing in my eyes. I can take him out easily now.

The Qu Family's Eternal Life Saints number at most five. Even if all five of them join forces now, I don't fear them.

But the Qu Family has eleven Nine Revolution Saints, and Saints below Nine Revolutions probably number over a thousand in total. You, alone…"

Guan Huan had now advanced to the Creation Saint realm, and his strength had improved enormously from before.

He had already been able to take out Qu Ge before; now he could absolutely crush Qu Ge.

Ding Huan let out a sly chuckle: "Relax. As long as you can handle the Qu Family's Eternal Life realm, the rest is no problem for me."

"Good, then it's settled. When do we go?" Guan Huan was extremely decisive in his actions.

Since they had decided to wipe out the Qu Family's Dao Court, what was there to hesitate about?

"Old Guan, are there many powerhouses at the Fourth Step of the Great Dao in the Lesser Heaven Market? I heard that Chang Yun might have stepped into the Fourth Step of the Great Dao."

Hearing Ding Huan's words, Guan Huan was stunned for a moment, then said without hesitation: "That is absolutely impossible."

"Why?"

"Because in the Lesser Heaven Market, the strongest cultivation one can reach is the Creation Saint realm. The rules of heaven and earth here are not enough to let anyone step into the Fourth Step of the Great Dao."

Guan Huan answered without the slightest hesitation.

Clearly, he had studied this question long ago.

"Does that mean that old fellow Chang Yun's Fourth Step is fake?" Ding Huan muttered to himself.

What he was actually thinking was: Chang Yun clearly had not reached the Fourth Step, so why had the rumor spread outside that he might have?

There was only one possibility: he was feeling guilty.

Some people are psychologically strange—the more they lack something, the more they feel compelled to show it off.

Ding Huan naturally did not think Chang Yun would be so lacking in composure.

Then the only reason Chang Yun had spread the news that he was at the Fourth Step of the Great Dao was probably that he was afraid.

The one Chang Yun feared certainly was not him or Guan Huan.

What a pity—he just didn't know who Chang Yun was afraid of. If he knew, he would contact that person again.

"Come on up, Old Guan." Ding Huan summoned the Cosmic Cauldron.

The moment Guan Huan landed on the Cosmic Cauldron, he exclaimed in admiration: "Brother Ding, your flying treasure is incredible. Compared to you, I've really wasted all these years."

That was the honest truth.

The things Ding Huan had produced—the Chaos Divine Spirit Vein, the Nine Heavens Opening Bamboo, the Cosmic True Marrow…

Apart from the Chaos Divine Spirit Vein, he had never even seen the other two.

His temperament was rather easygoing and content with circumstances.

Generally, as long as he could still advance in a place, he would not think about moving elsewhere.

So although he had encountered many dangers over the years, none had reached the point of costing him his life.

Of course, this time was the exception.

Many of the powerhouses of his era had already reincarnated goodness knows how many times.

Yet he, Guan Huan, was still the same as before—taking it one step at a time, he had even cultivated all the way to the Creation Saint realm.

Ding Huan did not stand on ceremony either; he could tell that Guan Huan was not the type to stir up trouble.

If Ding Huan had not done Guan Huan a great kindness, even though Qu Ge had once schemed against Guan Huan, Guan Huan probably would not have gone to the Qu Family's Dao Court for revenge.

Ding Huan admitted to himself that he could never match Guan Huan's mindset.

If he had a grudge, even waiting overnight left a bad taste in his mouth—let alone letting go of someone who wanted to kill him.

With Ding Huan's Seven Revolution Saint realm cultivation, the Cosmic Cauldron took only a dozen-odd days to reach another Dao City of the Great Wheel Dao Court: Lone Dao Saint City.

The name Lonely Dao Sacred City has the word "lonely" in it, but when it comes to liveliness, compared to Abyssal Dao City, it's only slightly less.

The thing Lonely Dao Sacred City has the most of is teleportation arrays.

This place can almost be called the teleportation hub from the Great Wheel Dao Court to every other place.

In Lonely Dao Sacred City there are at least tens of thousands of teleportation arrays; any place with a name can be teleported to from here.

Naturally included among them is the central city of the Qu Clan Dao Court, Star Path Great Dao City.

According to Guan Huan's introduction, if they didn't take a teleportation array, even at the speed of the Universe Cauldron, they would need half a year to reach Star Path Great Dao City.

Ding Huan still had to come back to attend the auction and get his hands on the Light Dao Scroll, so naturally he couldn't afford to spend a year on the road.

"Brother Ding, should we disguise ourselves?" Seeing Ding Huan put away the Universe Cauldron and head straight for the entrance of Lonely Dao Sacred City like that, Guan Huan couldn't help but offer a reminder.

Ding Huan laughed: "Old Guan, if we can't annihilate the Qu Clan Dao Court, do you think the Qu Clan can guess it was the two of us?"

Guan Huan answered honestly: "Most likely they'd know."

Ding Huan had saved him in Abyssal Dao City, and now he was coming directly to deal with the Qu Clan Dao Court—as long as they weren't fools, they could guess it was them.

Even if they couldn't guess, for a Dao Court to investigate such a matter wasn't all that difficult.

"Then why bother disguising ourselves?" Ding Huan said.

Guan Huan instinctively said: "If we annihilate the Qu Clan Dao Court…"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Ding Huan looking at him with a smile.

Guan Huan patted his own head.

He and Ding Huan had already annihilated an entire Dao Court between the two of them—who would still dare to make a move against them?

Even Chang Yun wouldn't dare.

What Chang Yun probably worried about most was that they would go annihilate the Chang Star Dao Court next.

The Chang Star Dao Court being the foremost Dao Court of Lesser Heaven Market was true, but in

Lesser Heaven Market, the strength gap between Dao Courts wasn't all that large.

Actually one could figure it out—everyone was at the Third Step of the Great Dao, with no existence at the Fourth Step of the Great Dao; how big could the gap really be?

So as long as Ding Huan and Guan Huan annihilated the Qu Clan Dao Court, they'd earned the right to swagger about openly.

Ding Huan and Guan Huan walked into Lonely Dao Sacred City without any concealment, then openly passed through the teleportation array to head for Star Path Great Dao City.

The teleportation array at Star Path Great Dao City was likewise built outside the city.

Abyssal Dao City already counted as a Great Dao City.

Now standing before Star Path Great Dao City, Ding Huan felt that Abyssal Dao City was truly not worth mentioning.

At the entrance of Star Path Great Dao City, two enormous planets floated on either side.

When Ding Huan's divine sense landed on those two planets, the killing intent in his heart deepened.

He was certain these were two living planets, forcibly refined by the Qu Clan Dao Court, and then just like that pressed down outside the gates of Star Path Great Dao City.

One could imagine that all the lives on these two planets had been slaughtered.

This probably meant the deaths of a hundred billion people, right?

Above those two planets, several large characters of Dao rhyme descended from top to bottom: Star Path Great Dao City.

Setting aside those churning characters of Dao rhyme, just the aura outside Star Path Great Dao City alone gave one a feeling of tremendous pressure and an unattainable height of the Great Dao.

Guan Huan looked at the scene before him and sighed: "Brother Ding, the main reason you want to annihilate the Qu Clan Dao Court probably isn't because the Qu Clan people want to hunt you down, right?"

The smile had already vanished from Ding Huan's eyes:

"Back when I learned that someone was using the name Great Cosmos Art to cultivate a vicious technique, I decided that every single such person I saw, I'd kill on sight.

What's more, the Qu family has come offending me right into my hands—how could I possibly let them go?"

Asking Guan Huan for help was really because he couldn't wait any longer.

If he waited until he stepped into the Immortal Realm, he didn't know how many years that would take.

Given Ding Huan's temperament, he didn't wait even a single night for revenge—waiting several thousand or even tens of thousands of years, where would he find that idle time?

Guan Huan nodded: "Indeed they should be killed.

The founder of the Qu Clan Dao Court, Qu Qu Beige, was no simple figure; this man cultivated the Great Planet Art, and one didn't know how many innocent living planets he'd destroyed.

Now that he's gone, his Qu Clan descendants continue to plague these innocent planets, killing far too many people…"

Even Guan Huan, such an old softie, clenched his fists tight.

If he could, he too wanted to wipe the Qu Clan out completely.

Feeling the killing aura on Ding Huan, Guan Huan offered another reminder: "Brother Ding, among those who cultivate by using planets, there's one even more terrifying—I heard his name is Huan.

I only heard of this person a long time ago; they say he cultivates the Great Cosmos Art, and the extent of his harm is probably even more dreadful than Qu Qu Beige's."

Ding Huan nodded: "I know. It's not his turn yet—right now it's the Qu Clan's turn."

"What's your plan, what do you need me to do?" Influenced by Ding Huan's killing intent, Guan Huan at this moment also felt his blood boiling.

He wanted to hear Ding Huan's plan—whether to set up arrays, or sneak in for a covert strike.

Ding Huan laughed heartily, spread his hand, and the Tribulation-Breaking Blade on his back appeared in his grip.

He pointed his blade at the imposing city-gate entrance of Star Path Great Dao City ahead: "No need to plan anything. Just charge straight in."

As he spoke, the Tribulation-Breaking Blade swept up hundreds of millions of blade-gleams; Ding Huan himself also took a single step forward, the Tribulation-Breaking Blade tracing a perfect blade-arc as it cleaved down through the void.

He pointed his blade at the imposing city-gate entrance of Star Avenue City ahead and said, "No need to plan anything. We go straight in."

Having said that, the Tribulation-Breaking Blade swept up a billion blade-gleams, and Ding Huan himself stepped out in a single stride; the Tribulation-Breaking Blade traced a perfect blade-arc as it cleaved down through the void.
