Chapter 826: The Two Huan of the Heavenly Ruins

All the divine spirit veins in Starway City were drained by Ding Huan and Guan Huan.

Ding Huan suddenly had another thought.

If the Qu Clan Dao Court is this wealthy, what about the others…

That Chang Yun wasn't running around frantically, was he?

Could the next one be Changxing Dao Court?

Guan Huan saw the gleam in Ding Huan's eyes and noticed him licking his lips.

Guan Huan sighed helplessly: "Ding Huan brother, the Qu Clan Dao Court is the wealthiest in the Small Heavenly Ruins—no other Dao Court comes close."

Ding Huan had already figured it out.

The Qu Clan Dao Court has committed too many vile deeds.

They don't know how many innocent planets they've destroyed—otherwise, where would so many elemental divine spirit veins come from?

Other Dao Courts wouldn't act like the Qu Clan Dao Court, destroying starlands everywhere, so they're unlikely to possess so many varied elemental divine spirit veins.

Never mind.

Just as Ding Huan was about to erase the magnificent Qu Clan Dao Court palace, the two planets hovering outside Starway City shattered completely.

Endless rivers, lakes, and seas collapsed; shattered mountains and rivers crashed down, instantly obscuring millions of miles in every direction.

Ding Huan and Guan Huan stared at the now-vanished Starway City, filled with deep emotion.

They no longer needed to destroy the other Dao Cities of the Qu Clan Dao Court.

After this battle, the Qu Clan Dao Court would be utterly erased from the Small Heavenly Ruins.

"Old Guan, let's go." Ding Huan summoned the Cosmic Cauldron without a trace of hesitation.

"Are we going to Tianyuan Dao City?" Guan Huan knew Ding Huan wanted to buy the Light Dao Scroll there.

"Tianyuan Dao City can wait—I want to ask you about Bai Yue. Why were you blamed?"

Having destroyed the Qu Clan Dao Court, Ding Huan naturally intended to complete the task as well.

In truth, he knew very well that with the power he and Guan Huan had shown by wiping out the Qu Clan Dao Court, even if he didn't complete the task, the Dalun Trading Association wouldn't dare touch him.

But one doesn't live like that.

He trained under the Dalun Trading Association—they had protected him, after all.

If so, then he had an obligation to help the Dalun Trading Association complete this task.

At the same time, Ding Huan knew that Bai Yue and Guan Huan were friends. He wasn't undertaking this task to capture Bai Yue and hand him over to the Dalun Trading Association—he was helping Guan Huan.

Ding Huan guessed that, after he and Guan Huan destroyed the Qu Clan Dao Court, the Dalun Trading Association would almost certainly cancel this task.

The Dalun Trading Association's hunt for Bai Yue was surely ordered by the Dao Lord of Changxing Dao Court, Chang Yun.

The purpose of issuing this task was naturally to kill Bai Yue.

After all, Bai Yue had killed his son, Chang Yiding.

Now that he and Guan Huan have wiped out the Qu Clan Dao Court, and Bai Yue is Guan Huan's friend, unless the Dalun Trading Association is Bai Chi, they'd never continue this task.

The two of them wiped out the Qu Clan Dao Court—would they fail to wipe out the Dalun Trading Association?

Guan Huan sighed: "Ding Huan brother, this is exactly what I wanted to tell you.

I can assure you, Bai Yue is a man of great integrity—he would never seize all the women of the Divine Woman Holy Sect as cultivation partners.

He certainly wouldn't kill Chang Yiding because of Jiang Yiyu—there must be something wrong here.

When I defended Bai Yue, I hadn't yet had time to ask him directly before they attacked me.

Not only is Bai Yue my friend, but his senior brother and I are sworn brothers in life and death—I must find Bai Yue, no matter what."

Guan Huan was certain Bai Yue was in trouble.

Otherwise, given Bai Yue's character, if he'd been pinned down at Tianyuan Dao City, he would have sought him out long ago.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go." Ding Huan activated the Cosmic Cauldron and shot out.

"Where to?" Guan Huan hadn't even formed a plan when he saw the Cosmic Cauldron already far away.

Ding Huan chuckled: "Naturally, to the place where Bai Yue vanished—the Divine Woman Holy Sect."

Even before meeting Guan Huan, Ding Huan knew something was off.

After meeting Guan Huan, Ding Huan was certain his suspicion was correct.

He trusted Guan Huan's character—since Guan Huan believed so firmly in Bai Yue, Bai Yue couldn't possibly be that bad.

In fact, even before rescuing Guan Huan, Ding Huan had planned to visit the Divine Woman Holy Sect.

Because Bai Yue's disappearance required investigating the Divine Woman Holy Sect.

He had merely intervened temporarily to rescue Guan Huan.

The result proved exactly as he predicted—he and Guan Huan effortlessly wiped out the Qu Clan Dao Court together.

"Yes, this Jiang Yiyu is probably deeply suspicious," Guan Huan realized belatedly.

He was actually very intelligent—he just thought slowly.

Like his own Dao cultivation technique, which he had painstakingly developed over countless years of trial and error.

If he made a mistake, he started over.

His method of trial and error was to pile up time.

It was a crude method, but highly effective.

Controlling the Cosmic Cauldron, Ding Huan and Guan Huan passed through three Dao Cities and changed transmission arrays several times before arriving at the nearest divine city to the Divine Woman Holy Sect: Jiubian Divine City.

Despite their incredible speed and never pausing at any Dao City,

wherever they went, everyone who saw them recognized them.

These people dared not greet them directly—they would respectfully stop and let Ding Huan and Guan Huan pass first.

Ding Huan's divine sense swept lightly, and he overheard people discussing the two of them.

In a short time, they gained a nickname in the Lesser Heaven Ruins: "Heaven Ruins' Two Huan."

From the attitudes and expressions of these people toward them, Ding Huan knew just how much weight "Heaven Ruins' Two Huan" carried now.

Indeed, the Lesser Heaven Ruins had always been ruled by the Five Great Dao Courts.

Because the Qu Clan Dao Court put out a bounty on him, Ding Huan simply wiped them out—such power, who wouldn't fear it?

⊙￠o

The Divine Maiden Holy Gate falls within the jurisdiction of the Ji Yuan Dao Court.

Ding Huan and Guan Huan's direction was clearly headed straight for the Divine Maiden Holy Gate.

When Ding Huan and Guan Huan's Cosmic Cauldron halted before the Divine Maiden Holy Gate, a group of women from the sect had already opened their formation gates to welcome them outside.

"Jiang Yiyu bows before Senior Guan, and Brother Ding," said the woman at the front, bowing deeply.

Whether in attitude or tone, Jiang Yiyu was utterly humble.

Jiang Yiyu had a graceful figure, a delicate face, and a body curve perfected to an extreme—she was indeed a rare beauty.

Guan Huan waved it off carelessly.

Ding Huan sneered inwardly; women of the Divine Maiden Holy Gate should be pure and innocent.

This Jiang Yiyu, though newly entered the Creation Dao realm, carried a muddled aura.

Such a muddled Dao resonance could fool Guan Huan, but to deceive him? Don't dream it.

Clearly, this woman was despicable—she had practiced sexual cultivation with many men. Worse, her muddled Dao resonance contained not only male cultivators' energies, but also those of numerous female cultivators.

Could this Jiang Yiyu be bedding both men and women?

Ding Huan struggled to imagine how two women could practice sexual cultivation together.

If before arriving here, Ding Huan had still been uncertain,

now he was virtually certain.

The rumors that the Divine Maiden Holy Gate's female disciples, tortured and used as furnaces by Bai Yue, had mostly perished—these women had almost certainly been worn down and killed by this woman.

This also explained why Jiang Yiyu had advanced to the Eternal Life realm so quickly after being severely wounded.

From the Eighth Transformation Saint to the Eternal Life realm in such a short time—she hadn't cultivated the Great Cosmos Art like him, nor had she access to many top-tier cultivation resources.

Only this lowly method could account for it.

Guan Huan grunted, saying nothing.

His cultivation was higher than Ding Huan's, but whenever they were together, Ding Huan always made the decisions.

This was not only because Ding Huan had saved his life and he willingly followed him,

but also because his own nature was reserved, and Ding Huan thought more thoroughly. Ding Huan waved Jiang Yiyu aside: "Step aside. I'll greet them first."

Jiang Yiyu, who had been uneasy, felt a surge of joy at Ding Huan's attitude.

It meant Ding Huan wasn't the "Heaven Ruins' Two Huan" rumored to hate being bothered.

Rumor had it that Ding Huan had destroyed the Qu Clan Dao Court simply because he was tired of their bounty.

But why did Ding Huan want her to step aside to greet someone?

She, Jiang Yiyu, was the sect's Abbess.

If Ding Huan was going to greet anyone, it should be her.

Yet the moment she thought this, she saw Ding Huan summon the Break-Catastrophe Blade.

The Break-Catastrophe Blade unleashed a curtain of blade light, slicing straight toward her head.

Jiang Yiyu's heart leapt; she quickly stepped aside.

Fortunately, Ding Huan's blade had not sealed her life force or carried any killing intent.

Boom!

The blade arc, condensed from the blade light, fell from the void like a rainbow.

Everything beneath this blade rainbow turned to dust.

From the sect's protective formation, to the sect's central plaza, to its magnificent halls…

All turned to dust.

Before the blade light faded, a deep blade trench stretched across the center of the Divine Maiden Holy Gate.

Ding Huan reused his old trick—this blade had split the Divine Maiden Holy Gate in two again.

All the women of the Divine Maiden Holy Gate stared at each other in shock; they had heard rumors that Ding Huan liked to split planets and Dao cities in half.

Now it seemed the rumors were true.

Didn't he just split the Divine Maiden Holy Gate in half with one slash?

From start to finish, the Divine Maiden Holy Gate had not offended Ding Huan—in fact, under their Abbess's command, they had opened their formation gates fully to welcome "Heaven Ruins' Two Huan."

And yet, they still met the fate of being split in two.

Even Guan Huan stared at Ding Huan in astonishment—what did this mean?

They hadn't even begun their investigation; why had Ding Huan struck first?

But he found it amusing—he now knew what purpose this blade trench served.

Still, was it really necessary to carve such a trench just to deal with the Divine Maiden Holy Gate? "Brother Ding, what is this…?"

Jiang Yiyu looked at Ding Huan in terror, her eyes filled with grievance, yet not a trace of anger or accusation.

Ding Huan smiled as he sheathed the Break-Catastrophe Blade: "Abbess Jiang, I took a mission from the Great Wheel Dao Court—to find Bai Yue."

Do you know where Bai Yue went?"

Jiang Yiyu's tears streamed down instantly; she seemed to recall her unbearable past—the days of torture by Bai Yue.

Even her Dao aura revealed her sorrow and confusion.

Ding Huan's expression didn't change a bit—he simply stared calmly at Jiang Yiyu.

This woman apparently hadn't seen how he had wiped out the disciples of the Qu Clan, and was still putting on her green-b*tch act with him.

He had no intention of continuing to press her; if she kept this up a little longer, he would simply take action.
