Ding Huan knew something was wrong the moment he saw Qi Xinyue reach for the bag. Without hesitating, he slashed out dozens of Wind Blades and threw himself at Zuo Shanyi.
Zuo Shanyi saw the net capture Qi Xinyue and was not surprised at all.
If Qi Xinyue could escape this time, he would leave without hesitation.
If she could escape, it meant that the first time wasn’t a coincidence, but that Qi Xinyue had the ability to contend with him.
However, just as he was about to retract the net, he felt an extreme unease.
Zuo Shanyi didn’t think twice before retreating frantically, unwilling to allow himself to face any threat.
Crack, crack, crack!
More than a dozen Sword Lights he hadn’t even seen split the cement ground where he had just been standing, leaving deep marks.
Zuo Shanyi broke out in a cold sweat. Had he not retreated just now, he would have been cut into countless pieces.
With Zuo Shanyi’s caution and prudence, he knew Qi Xinyue had just been pretending. Behind Qi Xinyue, there had to be a stronger person, luring him out.
At that moment, Zuo Shanyi had no intention of fighting Ding Huan. With his cautious nature, even if he wasn’t afraid of Ding Huan, he didn’t want to fight.
The invisible, colorless Sword Light that Ding Huan had unleashed had scared him.
The moment Ding Huan released the Sword Light, he pounced toward Zuo Shanyi, but although he could clearly see Zuo Shanyi, as he tried to grab him, Zuo Shanyi suddenly disappeared.
Earth Jutsu?
Or some other escape method?
But Ding Huan wasn’t surprised; a guy who could disappear under the noses of many powerhouses like Zhong Chi must be no ordinary individual.
He didn’t even continue searching for Zuo Shanyi. He knew very well that it would be extremely difficult to trace someone like him who had already fled.
It was better to collect the spoils of battle first.
At that moment, Ding Huan furiously unleashed Wind Blade Skill. In a brief three breaths’ time, he had slashed out hundreds of Wind Blade Skills.
His Wind Blade Skill nearly enveloped the entire area where Qi Xinyue was located. At the same time, Ding Huan thumped down dozens of punches.
These punches landed on the ground just outside where Qi Xinyue was standing, almost forming a circle.
It wasn’t that Ding Huan had sensed something, but he believed that a creature as cunning as Shi Keling would definitely not escape leaving behind a bag of Blossom God Crystal Stones and that net.
Even if he planned to escape, he would surely take the net and the bag of Blossom God Crystal Stones he had given to Qi Xinyue.
Because he himself had done the same when he was on the Changyi Continent.
So even if Ding Huan’s Divine Will didn’t detect anything and he sensed nothing, he attacked first anyway.
After all, if he missed, it would only consume some of his True Yuan.
"Crack, crack…" A series of tearing sounds exploded in the air, as if something invisible had been split apart by Ding Huan.
Boom, boom, boom!
The series of punches Ding Huan had just thrown created one deep pit after another in the ground around Qi Xinyue.
The next moment, a gray shadow, like a flash of lightning, disappeared from the edge of Ding Huan’s Divine Will.
Incredible, Ding Huan thought, watching the direction in which the gray shadow vanished, awestruck. This guy had managed to conceal himself here without even his Divine Will noticing immediately.
At this moment, Ding Huan was secretly frightened, thankful that he knew this guy’s nature must be cautious and sly.
Without capturing the other with his Divine Will, he had attacked directly.
Just being careful was never a mistake.
Otherwise, with this guy’s methods, not only would he take the net and that small packet before leaving, but Qi Xinyue’s life would also not be spared.
He didn’t really believe Shi Keling would spare Qi Xinyue’s life.
With Shi Keling’s capabilities, a mere flick of a thin line before leaving would be enough to kill Qi Xinyue.
Thinking of that thin line, Ding Huan carefully inspected his surroundings with his Divine Will.
Although he had cut through dozens of them with his Wind Blade Skill, he hadn’t seen clearly what they were since they were undetectable even to his Divine Will.
"Did Shi Keling escape?" Qi Xinyue was still in shock.
"He’s gone. This guy is very powerful." While speaking, Ding Huan collected the net.
Even though it was a large net when cast, it seemed to disappear when wrapped up, held in his hand, made of some unknown material.
Knowing he couldn’t catch this guy, Ding Huan didn’t bother to pursue. In fact, even if he had caught him, with Shi Keling’s abilities, he feared he wouldn’t be able to kill him.
With a flick of his Divine Will, the bag landed in Ding Huan’s hands.
To Ding Huan’s surprise, there were indeed Blossom God Crystal Stones in the bag. After scanning it with his Divine Will, there were a total of twenty-one Blossom God Crystal Stones.
"He might have also obtained Divine Concealment Technique. Only those with the bloodline of the Gods have the chance to learn Divine Power; Divine Concealment Technique requires Divine Power to execute," Qi Xinyue said.
"Divine Concealment Technique?" Ding Huan repeated, thinking this thing was formidable. It could even escape his Divine Will?
Among the spells he cultivated, there was also a Concealing Technique, similarly a Small Magic, but this Small Magic really wasn’t worth mentioning.
"Don’t even mention other things, the Concealing Technique wouldn’t be hidden from Earth-level powerhouses, probably even from acquired-level ones."
Seeing Ding Huan frowning and thinking about the Divine Concealment Technique, Qi Xinyue bit her teeth and said, "Big brother, I will teach you the Divine Concealment Technique."
Before she had cultivated Divine Power, she had sworn not to pass it on to outsiders, otherwise, the God race would definitely pursue her.
She had also thought that she would never pass on the Divine Power to outsiders, but Ding Huan wasn’t an outsider in her eyes.
Not only had Ding Huan saved her, but he also had taught her Luo Shijin. In Qi Xinyue’s heart, Luo Shijin wasn’t inferior to Divine Power.
Ding Huan, however, didn’t care, he had passed on his cultivation technique to Qi Xinyue. What exactly Divine Concealment Technique was, it would naturally be better if he knew.
Otherwise, the next time Shi Keling used Divine Concealment Technique to launch a surprise attack on him, he really wouldn’t be able to guard against it.
This thing seemed to evade even Divine Will, it really had some tricks up its sleeve.

"When I cultivated the Divine Concealment Technique, my master told me that power and intention are actually interconnected, only coarse cultivators think of power as primary and everything else as secondary…"
As Qi Xinyue began to pass on the Divine Concealment Technique to Ding Huan, it felt as though another massive door opened before him.
He had always felt that what he was cultivating was the real Taoist Cultivation Method, far superior to ordinary gene cultivators.
Now he realized that his understanding of cultivation was merely a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
No, it should be the pot calling the kettle slightly less black.
He had cultivated Divine Will, and as his cultivation level increased, his Divine Will became stronger, and naturally, he increasingly thought highly of his own cultivational practices.
Moreover, because he had cultivated Divine Will, he could combine it with True Yuan to execute the Wind Blade Skill, significantly enhancing the power of the Wind Blade Skill.
From Qi Xinyue, Ding Huan understood that Divine Will and True Yuan could completely merge together.
Those who cultivated Divine Power, though without the concept of Divine Will, had the concept of mental force. The stronger the mental force, the stronger the divine power cultivator.
Divine Concealment Technique was about merging mental force with Divine Power and then executing specific Divine Arts to achieve seamless integration with the surroundings.
This had some similarities with his Concealing Technique, which also required a Magic Spell to be executed, and was considered one of the spells.
His Divine Will was still at the initial stage, so he couldn’t immediately detect Shi Keling’s Divine Concealment Technique previously.
But if he completely merged Divine Will and True Yuan, then he could easily sense Shi Keling’s presence, and even capture the energy of Shi Keling making a move.
Thinking about this, Ding Huan suddenly considered another issue.
Merging Divine Will and True Yuan together was good, but it lost the essence of Divine Will.
True Divine Will is formless; if his Divine Will itself contained the power to attack with True Yuan, why bother integrating them?
In that case, not only could he easily find where Shi Keling was hiding, but he could also attack using Divine Will.
Just like he had thought while on the plane, if he could execute the Wind Blade Skill through the plane.
The more he thought about it, the more feasible Ding Huan found it. He wanted to keep forming attacking Blade Light using Divine Will.
But he did not succeed even once.
Qi Xinyue had no idea that Ding Huan was already trying to use Divine Will for attacking, she continued explaining some techniques and methods of the Divine Concealment Technique, even the activation of Divine Arts was explained word by word.
Not only that, but she also began explaining the instantaneous movement through the use of Divine Power.
It took a full two hours before Qi Xinyue initially told Ding Huan about her cultivation.
Although Ding Huan still couldn’t independently use Divine Will to strike out with the Wind Blade Skill, he could now sense everything around him by combining Divine Will with True Yuan.
This ability wasn’t of much significance to Ding Huan, because even without True Yuan, he could feel everything around him.
The only utility was that by merging with True Yuan, he could sense those concealed by Divine Power.
Ding Huan suspected that Shi Keling wouldn’t just leave things here willingly; as long as this guy hid and launched another sneak attack, it would be a huge loss.
That breathless, multicolored filament was even more frightening than his Wind Blade Skill.
Before he had developed attacking solely with Divine Will, he merged True Yuan to survey the environment.
"Let’s go, we’ll talk more back at the hotel." Ding Huan signaled for Qi Xinyue to go ahead.
Ding Huan walked behind Qi Xinyue, his Divine Will covering a radius of five hundred meters.
Now he was a seventh-level gene cultivator, and his standalone Divine Will could cover upwards of a kilometer.
The reason he covered just five hundred meters was that True Yuan attached to his Divine Will, mainly worried about Shi Keling’s sneaky attacks.
Qi Xinyue walked rapidly, and in just an hour, they were nearing the hotel.
At the edge of his Divine Will, Ding Huan saw a shadow; he clearly saw Shi Keling waiting about four hundred meters from them.
This guy was concealed within a tree trunk, blending into the tree as if he had become the tree itself. If not for Ding Huan’s sweep of Divine Will, he would never have guessed someone was inside the tree.
Ding Huan withdrew True Yuan, using solely Divine Will for sensing, but still saw Shi Keling.
However, Ding Huan understood this was because he already knew the opponent was in the tree trunk. Otherwise, his Divine Will could easily overlook it.
Pretending as if nothing was wrong, Ding Huan casually chatted with Qi Xinyue while walking.
When the two were about five meters away from the tree, Ding Huan suddenly charged forward, unleashing a strike with the Starry Sky Blade.
