Chapter 873: Leave Quickly

~11 min read 2,012 words

Ding Huan was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood.

The problem must lie with the Great Universe Score Token.

Although the Blue Star Sect that Yan Zhuo established is in the Fengyu World, he took a score token from the Zihe World, so he should be counted as a person of the Zihe World.

From another angle, he could be considered a son-in-law who married into the Blue Star Sect.

Then by that reckoning, he would also count as a person of the Fengyu World.

However, Ding Huan did not bring it up.

Right now, all the order of the Great Universe is still being established; it absolutely cannot be so refined as to specify that a son-in-law belongs to the world he married into.

Instead, this Jie Gou knows that his own Universe Score Token was processed in the Zihe World.

That means many of the things he did were all within Jie Gou's sight.

Including the entire process of him saving Ling Zhuzhen, which was also watched by this fellow.

This fellow should have a surveillance array in North Journey Heaven City, but when he took Ling Zhuzhen away, this fellow had no time and so did not come to stop him.

In this fellow's eyes, Ling Zhuzhen could not get away.

Only this fellow did not expect that he would take Ling Zhuzhen into the Chaos.

"Zihe Dao Ancestor, what do you mean by this?" Fengyu Dao Ancestor's face darkened as he spoke with some displeasure.

Jie Gou said lightly: "We agreed from the very start that whichever world issued a Universe Score Token, that cultivator would be counted as belonging to that world.

Ding Xiaotu's Universe Score Token was issued by my Zihe World, so Ding Xiaotu is a cultivator of my Zihe World.

Not only that, this Ding Xiaotu also very much approves of my Zihe World; otherwise, he would not have asked people to pull strings and specifically processed a score token at North Journey Heaven City."

Hearing Jie Gou's last sentence, Ding Huan inwardly cried that things were bad.

Wasn't this plainly saying that his identity and origins were unclear?

Sure enough, after Jie Gou finished saying this, almost everyone's gaze turned to Ding Huan.

Even Fengyu Dao Ancestor now let his gaze fall on Ding Huan, with some doubt.

Qingsha Dao Ancestor, who had originally not taken anything to heart, also looked at Ding Huan: "Why do you not have a score token?"

At this moment, her divine sense swept back and forth over Ding Huan without the slightest scruple.

Ding Huan chuckled: "I was planning to risk my life to go to the Tianmeng Tribe and contribute to the human race, yet now I have not even gone there, but

become the one being interrogated."

A faint flush rose on Fengyu's face, and he finally spoke: "Qingsha Dao Ancestor, sweeping a junior with your divine sense like this hardly seems proper, does it?"

Qingsha Dao Ancestor did not withdraw her divine sense because of Fengyu's words; not only that, her divine sense was even about to seep into Ding Huan's sea of consciousness.

Ding Huan opened his mouth and spat out a blood arrow.

Inwardly, he despised this so-called Fengyu Dao Ancestor.

This fellow was, after all, a world-level Dao Ancestor, yet he acted timidly, afraid of even a woman to such a degree—living like this was pathetic enough.

Tianci World's Dao Ancestor Feng Pu frowned and said: "Qingsha Dao Ancestor, this is going a bit too far."

Qingsha Dao Ancestor withdrew her divine sense, still staring at Ding Huan: "Since you have come to the Great Universe, why do you not have a Universe Score Token?"

The Great Universe is currently controlled so strictly that any cultivator of unknown origins cannot enter the Great Universe.

Once one enters the Great Universe, a Universe Score Token from an official channel will be issued.

So Ding Huan not having a score token is problematic.

Ding Huan said calmly: "I was brought here by my Dao companion; I had been healing in her world all along. The later matters, Fengyu Dao Ancestor knows about.

I was worried that Sect Leader Yan would look down on me, so after parting from Baihe,

I stayed at the edge of the Chaos trying my luck, but in fact my luck was not good at all."

Fengyu Dao Ancestor now also nodded: "Right, Yan Zhuo took Jia Baihe as his adopted daughter. I also attended the grand ceremony where Ding Xiaotu and Jia Baihe became Dao companions this time."

At this point, many things seemed to become clear.

Why would a woman as stunningly beautiful as Jia Baihe fall for a fellow like Ding Huan, whose Great Dao was in chaos and who had no future?

Turns out the two of them had long been lovers.

This time it must have been that Jia Baihe was to be married off, unavoidable, so he came out and became Dao companions with Jia Baihe.

The reason Ding Huan was hanging around the edge of the Chaos was probably to obtain some good things to curry favor with Yan Zhuo.

Only Fengyu was certain that there had to be a problem in all this.

Because Ding Huan was extremely wealthy.

He could casually produce a hundred top-grade divine spirit veins, and even had plenty of Void Nirvana Gold—these were not things an ordinary cultivator could produce.

With such wealth, he could not possibly have been hanging around the edge of the Chaos.

But what did this have to do with him?

He had no need to point out the suspicious points on Ding Huan.

At least for now, Ding Huan was on his side.

He was not so cheap as to cause trouble for himself.

Only Yan Jiuyue was screaming wildly in the depths of her heart: "This is impossible, absolutely impossible."

Ding Huan was just some random passerby she had picked, he could not possibly have been brought by Jia Baihe.

Only she did not dare say this out loud.

She was worried about what if.

What if Ding Huan really was connected to Jia Baihe—she would probably be done for.

Because the one she would be facing was Qingsha Dao Ancestor.

Why did Qingsha Dao Ancestor care so much about Ding Huan's origins?

Wasn't it simply because the Chaos Zone she had expended great effort to carve out had been destroyed by someone?

Now that they've found Ding Huan, this mysterious individual, she will definitely investigate him.

Even if she hates Ding Huan more than anything, she won't risk her own life to settle the score.

In fact, Qingsha Daozu had never once considered whether Ding Huan was the one responsible for destroying his Chaos Zone.

Because Ding Huan's identity is unknown, she suspects Ding Xiaotu might be the one carrying the Chaos Ultimate Treasure.

What she cares about is the Chaos Ultimate Treasure, not her own Chaos Zone, already destroyed.

Qingsha Daozu's gaze settled on Jia Baihe.

She saw Jia Baihe's hand tightly gripping Ding Huan—clearly,

these two were indeed Dao partners.

Since Jia Baihe had a known origin, she could simply ask Yan Zhuo.

When Jia Baihe's world brought someone into the Great Universe, the Wanze Great Universe Veil would detect it.

Given Yan Zhuo's status and wealth, bribing the cultivators in charge of detection was perfectly normal.

Everyone turned a blind eye to such matters.

Now all she needed to do was ask Yan Zhuo whether Jia Baihe had brought anyone into the Great Universe.

"Ding Xiaotu, you became a son-in-law of the Lanxing Sect in Fengyu World, yet you're using an积分牌 from Zihe World.

Now tell us yourself— which world do you represent when entering the Tianmeng Clan?"

Daozu Feng Pu of Tianzi World only wished to end the negotiations quickly; to avoid further bickering between Fengyu and Jie Kun, he spoke up first.

Upon hearing Feng Pu's words, everyone turned their gazes toward Ding Huan.

This effectively handed the decision to Ding Huan.

It was indeed a viable solution.

If Ding Huan were truly allowed to choose, he would unhesitatingly say he chose neither—he would join Tianzi World and help Feng Pu enter the Tianmeng Clan.

After all, so far, the only one among them he found somewhat agreeable was this little old man, Feng Pu.

But Ding Huan knew he could not choose this path.

He was certain Fengyu Daozu suspected him.

Fengyu Daozu had not spoken out precisely because Ding Huan now represented Fengyu World.

Whether he was truly Ding Xiaotu meant nothing to Fengyu Daozu.

If he now abandoned Fengyu Daozu, the next moment he might be taken away by Qingsha Daozu.

Ding Huan bowed, stood up, and spoke solemnly: "I come from Fengyu World, and naturally represent Fengyu World in this contest.

But I am also one of the human cultivators of the Great Universe—I represent the human cultivators of the Great Universe as well."

Ding Huan longed to enter the Tianmeng Clan right now, but he knew he could not propose it himself.

"Good!" Fengyu laughed heartily and called out loudly.

Feng Pu nodded: "Agreed. In that case, the four of you exchange communication beads with us immediately, then enter the Tianmeng Clan."

Ding Huan was overjoyed and unhesitatingly pulled out his communication bead.

He exchanged communication beads with each of the Daozu.

After all, should anything happen within the Tianmeng Clan, he could

report to any one of the Daozu.

"First, teleport to the Wanda Mountains—there is a secret passage into the Tianmeng Clan," Feng Pu said, then turned to look at Fengyu Daozu.

Fengyu handed out several teleportation talismans to the four: "Enter the Wanda Mountains via the teleportation array outside Guzi Sacred Dao City.

Once in the Wanda Mountains, someone will escort you into the Tianmeng Clan."

Ding Huan took the teleportation talismans, gave another assurance, then hurriedly left with Jia Baihe.

At this moment, Ding Huan was more certain than anyone that Feng Pu had spotted his problem.

That was why every word Feng Pu spoke was helping Ding Huan.

Otherwise, Ding Huan would not believe every decision Feng Pu made was truly his own intention.

If Feng Pu hadn't been unsuitable to give him the teleportation talisman himself, he might not have needed Fengyu Daozu to give it at all.

The happiest person upon seeing Ding Huan leave Guzi Sacred Dao City and rush toward the teleportation array was Xi Changmei.

Xi Changmei had long sought an opportunity to negotiate a deal with Ding Huan, but had never found one.

Even when Xi Changmei chased after Ding Huan out of Guzi Sacred Dao City, Ding Huan gave him no chance to speak.

After leaving the city, Ding Huan and Jia Baihe immediately went to

the teleportation array and activated their teleportation talismans simultaneously.

Xi Changmei nearly cursed aloud again.

At this point, he could only grab Yan Jiuyue and activate his own teleportation talisman, following Ding Huan away.

Ding Huan was eager to leave because he feared Qingsha Daozu.

The fact that Jia Baihe had brought him into the Great Universe was utterly indefensible.

So he had to get away from this madwoman, Qingsha Daozu, as soon as possible.

This woman wanted to kill him—when she returned, he'd make her regret it.

……

"Big Brother Ding, is something wrong?" Jia Baihe asked cautiously as soon as they stepped out of the teleportation array.

Ding Huan whispered: "Yes. That woman, Qingsha Daozu, wants to kill me—we can't stay here long. I estimate she'll realize something's off within a stick of incense."

As he spoke, Ding Huan had already left the teleportation hall.

When Ding Huan extended his divine sense and saw endless, rolling mountain ranges and the overwhelmingly dense heavenly and earthly qi, he instantly understood why this place was called the Wanda Mountains.

This complete heavenly and earthly rule and qi could only come from a Dao vein.

With a place like this, why the hell would he go to the Sky Meng Tribe?
