Chapter 38

"Wan Wan Zhenshan forged the scene to falsely accuse Qi Qi Changfa of injuring him and fleeing, and also set a trap to frame Di Yun as a rapist and thief, throwing him into death row."

"Ding Dian, who was in the same cell, thought he was a spy and beat him up."

"Di Yun stayed in prison for more than three years, and upon hearing that his junior sister had married Wan Wan Zhenshan's son Wan Gui, he committed suicide in despair."

"In complete despair, when he was hanging himself, Ding Dian also understood that Di Yun was not a spy and used the 'Divine Illumination Scripture' to save him."

"Subsequently, Ding Dian told Di Yun about his experience."

"Later, Ding Dian passed the Divine Illumination Scripture to Di Yun; Ding Dian couldn't let go of Ling Ling Shuanghua in his heart and escaped from prison with Di Yun."

"Unexpectedly, Ling Shuanghua was already dead, and her father, Prefect Ling Tuisi, had coated his daughter's coffin with poison; when Ding Dian cried over the coffin, he was poisoned with this incurable poison."

"Before Ding Dian died, he entrusted Di Yun with the hope of being buried with Ling Shuanghua and told him part of the 'Liancheng Secret'."

Subsequently, Ying Ying Ziyu talked about Di Yun's encounter in the Snow Valley.

According to the intelligence sent back by the Night Watchmen, Di Yun, Hua Hua Tiegan, and the Blood Blade Ancestor were still trapped in the Snow Valley.

Shui Sheng, however, was not in the Snow Valley as in the original work.

"After hearing what Master said, this Divine Illumination Scripture is really an ominous technique."

"Everyone who practices it will encounter various misfortunes."

"Of course, my handsome and heroic Master is an exception; Master is so powerful that he will not encounter any misfortune."

Jiang Jiang Yuyan said with a smile.

When she looked at Ying Ying Ziyu, the light in her eyes became even more dazzling.

Ying Ying Ziyu was her everything!

"Haha, your mouth is really sweet!"

Ying Ying Ziyu rewarded Jiang Jiang Yuyan on her face.

Jiang Jiang Yuyan lowered her head shyly, and her face turned red all of a sudden.

——

Seeking comments, flowers, and evaluation tickets!

Great Ming, Snowy Mountain.

Di Yun was stunned as he looked at his own name on the ranking.

He had never expected that he would be this strong.

Looking at the elixir in his hand, Di Yun knew that none of this was a dream.

"I never imagined that my strength would have already reached the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm."

"If it were in the past, I wouldn't even have dared to think about it!"

Di Yun muttered to himself.

Just at this moment, a heavy snowstorm swept in.

A bald monk wearing monk's robes charged over, wielding a blade.

This person was none other than the Blood Blade Old Ancestor, the fourth-generation Sect Master of the Qinghai Black Sect's "Blood Blade Sect."

"Brat, hand over the elixir in your hand, and I will spare your life!"

The Blood Blade Old Ancestor said with a ferocious expression.

He stared intensely at the Qian-Master Yuan Creation Pill in Di Yun's hand.

The greed in his eyes was not concealed in the slightest.

If it weren't for the fact that he had just killed Lu Tianshu, Liu Chengfeng, and Shui Dai, leaving his internal energy depleted and his strength at the end of its tether,

he would certainly have struck much faster.

"Little brother, you absolutely must not! Quickly give the elixir to me. I am the 'Zhongping Invincible' Hua Hua Tiegan, one of the Southern Four Wonders, 'Falling Flowers and Flowing Water'."

"Only by handing the elixir to me can we have a glimmer of hope for survival."

Hua Hua Tiegan looked at the Qian-Master Yuan Creation Pill, his eyes filled with intense jealousy.

The desire in his heart had long since conquered his earlier fear, and he had completely forgotten how he had been kneeling on the ground begging for mercy just moments ago.

It was just that he did not yet have the courage to rush up and fight the Blood Blade Old Ancestor for the elixir.

The ferocity of the Blood Blade Old Ancestor just now had long since scared Hua Hua Tiegan out of his wits.

He could only hope that Di Yun would hand the elixir over to him.

"Dream on!"

Without a second thought, Di Yun swallowed the elixir directly.

In an instant, Di Yun felt his mind become exceptionally clear.

Everything he had previously failed to understand about the Divine Illumination Scripture was now fully mastered.

Eighty years of internal energy surged in like a vast ocean, circulating rapidly within Di Yun's body.

Never before had he felt as refreshed as he did at this moment.

"You detestable little thief, you actually ate this master's elixir! You're courting death!"

The Blood Blade Old Ancestor was furious.

To him, anything he set his eyes on

already belonged to him.

Seeing the Blood Blade Old Ancestor charging right in front of him, Di Yun kicked out.

This attack was extremely fast. Just as the Blood Blade Old Ancestor reacted and tried to dodge, Di Yun's attack strangely changed direction.

This kick landed squarely on the Blood Blade Old Ancestor's lower abdomen.

Because of his cultivation of the Divine Illumination Scripture, Di Yun's internal energy was already very robust, and with the addition of the eighty years of internal energy from the Qian-Master Yuan Creation Pill,

the power of this kick was astonishingly great. The Blood Blade Old Ancestor's body flew into mid-air as if riding the clouds.

Di Yun himself didn't understand how his attack had suddenly changed direction.

Hua Hua Tiegan, standing to the side, had already figured out what was happening; it must be the "internal energy containing the changes of heaven and earth" mentioned on the ranking.

What is heaven and earth? It is the universe!

In other words, Di Yun's internal energy now possessed the changes of the universe.

If this were applied well in future duels, the opponent would have no way of figuring out the attack route.

Just thinking about it, one could already tell how immense the power was.

Thinking of this, Hua Hua Tiegan felt incredibly bitter.

They were both martial artists, and his reputation was even greater than Di Yun's; it was just that he was a bit older, so he couldn't make the list.

At this moment, Hua Hua Tiegan wished he were twenty or thirty years younger.

If that were the case, he would certainly have made the list.

"Haha, brat, just based on you, you want to kill this old man?"

"That is purely daydreaming!"

The Blood Blade Old Ancestor laughed, leaped high into the air, and spun around.

Finally, he fell straight down head-first, and with a 'cha' sound, he was planted upright into the snow, several feet deep. Only a pair of feet remained visible on the surface of the snow, and he remained motionless.

Di Yun walked up to check, and after confirming that the Blood Blade Old Ancestor was dead, he sat down on the snowy ground with a sigh of relief.

"Little brother is truly a hero of this generation."

"By your own strength, you killed the Blood Blade Old Ancestor and rid the Wu Lin of a scourge."

"Once we get out, I will definitely spread the word of your great name, little brother."

Hua Hua Tiegan said with a fake expression.

His face was plastered with a classic fake smile.

He was just one step away from blurting out a "two-blossom" joke.

Di Yun waved his hand helplessly. Because the snow valley was blocked, they could only wait in the valley for spring to arrive before they could leave.

Di Yun had no idea what he would do once he got out.

Just at this moment, the text on the Heaven's Pride Ranking changed once again.
