Even Lin Yuqi was shocked as he looked at Ding Huan. Could it be that his status as an Earth Immortal was a fake?
He had no idea how Ding Huan had managed to record the video in the Crystal Ball just moments ago.
This young Sect Master was certainly not an ordinary individual, which caused Lin Yuqi to pay additional attention to Ding Huan.
Previously, the reason he was displeased with Shi Qi Qiu was that Shi Qi Qiu treated everyone as fools.
It wasn’t so much treating everyone as fools, but rather that relying on his seniority, he was acting like an old fogy here.
Now, what everyone was discussing concerned the future of the Triple Heaven Star Land, yet Shi Qi Qiu was using personal interests to bring up Ding Huan’s matter for discussion.
His goal was to take away Ding Huan for himself, and to stand on solid ground in the name of justice.
What a selfish person, wanting to take advantage of everything. His selfishness was apparent.
Now he had realized that Ding Huan was not so easy to deal with, and he wanted to play tough.
Unfortunately, he had not anticipated that Ding Huan was a tough nut to crack, both powerful and resourceful, thus making Shi Qi Qiu lose miserably.
Seeing Shi Qi Qiu with his dejected and disheveled appearance, just like Gu Lianghui, Fan Lecang abandoned his last thought of complaining to the Sect.
Yi Qianxing said,
"Now that it has been proven that the matter involving Ding Sect Master was a misunderstanding, let us continue the discussion about how to exit the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield, as that is the important matter."
With a flick of his hand, the body of Shi Chuncang hanging on the Separation Spear was enveloped by flames and disappeared in an instant.
As for the ring that was on Shi Chuncang’s body, no one knew where it went.
Shi Qi Qiu sat down; he did not humiliate himself by demanding the ring from Ding Huan, who would surely ignore him.
Seeing that Ding Huan incinerated Shi Chuncang’s body, Yi Qianxing acted as if he saw nothing and took the initiative to ask,
"Sect Master Ding, since you also emerged from the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield, why don’t you tell us about it? Did you find the exit of the battlefield?"
Ding Huan clasped his hands together in a salute:
"I did not find it. The reason I was able to lead everyone out is because I burned my own lifespan and Essence Blood, employing a secret technique to do so.
Of course, as a token of gratitude, those who followed me out all gave me some Cultivation Resources as a reward."
"What? You’re saying everyone was brought out by you?"
Xiu Cang was initially very unfond of Ding Huan, and now hearing that Ding Huan claimed to have brought everyone out, he couldn’t help but express his surprise and inquire.
Ding Huan did not answer him.
Everyone knew about it; there was nothing more to say.
Yi Qianxing shifted his gaze to the other cultivators who had emerged from the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield:
"Did Sect Master Ding bring you out?"
All nodded, evidently Ding Huan had not lied.
Yi Qianxing was stunned, not just him, but the rest of the Sect Masters and those who had expectations were somewhat astonished.
If leaving the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield was merely due to Ding Huan’s secret technique, what difference did it make from before?
This meant that if Ding Huan did not enter the battlefield, then everyone else who entered would still not be able to exit.
They couldn’t possibly bring Ding Huan with them every time they went in, right?
Besides, even if Ding Huan did go in, he couldn’t possibly use the Forbidden Technique every time; that would burn Essence Blood and life force. Ding Huan wasn’t a fool; why would he do such a thing every time?
"Sect Master Ding, was there any pattern you followed when searching for the exit?" Lin Yuqi asked, with disappointment evident in his eyes.
If one couldn’t exit the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield after entering, then no one would be willing to enter.
If fewer and fewer people went to the battlefield, then their previous plan of seeking Immortal Fate in the battlefield would become a joke.
Ding Huan was silent for a moment before he said,
"There was no pattern per se, but it is possible to make some marks. However, within the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield, I cannot guarantee how long these marks can last without dispersing."
Implicit in his words was the fact that even if they were marked, one would need to find the exit within a certain time frame.
He left one thing unsaid.
Th𝓮 most uptodate nov𝑒ls are publish𝒆d on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.
Even if people entering the battlefield found the entrance with the help of the marks, without the Eye of the Great Wilderness, they could not find the precise location of the exit.
Even if all these were available, one would still need to understand the Array Dao; otherwise, what use would it be to find it?
"Sect Master Ding, in some time I plan to visit the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield with Lord Lin, would Sect Master Ding consider joining us?"
Yi Qianxing stood up and made the offer with a salute to Ding Huan.
Ding Huan also saluted and responded,
"I’ve just come out from the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield and now need some time to cultivate; otherwise, I don’t know when I might get ambushed and killed by something at my Sect, without knowing where to even seek justice."
Lin Yuqi also said gravely,
"Sect Master Ding, rest assured, as long as I, Lin Yuqi, am still alive, no one will dare to harm you."
Ding Huan knew that today Lin Yuqi had spoken up for him, so he readily promised,
"In that case, when I feel it’s time to go, I will seek out the two fellow Daoists."
"Good, this is my Communication Bead." Yi Qianxing stepped forward and exchanged Communication Beads with Ding Huan.
Not just Yi Qianxing; both Lin Yuqi and Xiu Cang also actively exchanged Communication Beads with Ding Huan.
After the exchange of Communication Beads was completed, Yi Qianxing then addressed everyone,
"Any cultivator who has emerged from the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield, if anyone can provide useful information about the battlefield, they can claim various Medicine Pills and Cultivation Resources at the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield missions guild..."
A group of people immediately became eager.
Ding Huan didn’t need Medicine Pills for his cultivation and wasn’t interested in the ones here.
However, most of the cultivators who came out with Ding Huan this time were at the Foundation Establishment stage, with some practicing Qi Cultivation and at the True Pill realm.
To them, the resources of the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield mission hall were extremely important.
If a Foundation Establishment Cultivator who came out of the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield could get a True Star Pill, that would be better than anything else.
Seeing that everyone was starting to record the news of the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield with Jade Scrolls, Ding Huan, along with Yan Mei, Mo Huaping, and Lao Liu, took the initiative to leave the meeting place.
Hu Wuxin and Mo Zheng had to represent the Taoist Realm, so they couldn’t leave first.
"Palace Master, are we going back to the sect now?" Mo Huaping asked eagerly as soon as they left the meeting place.
The recent attack on Ding Huan by Shi Qi Qiu had really frightened her.
As a disciple of the Blue Star Sect, she was very aware that if anything happened to Ding Huan, the disciples of the Blue Star Sect would not end up in a good situation.
"No, we’ll find a Rest Inn to stay in first."
Ding Huan was sure that if he dared to leave Wanbao City now, Shi Qi Qiu would dare to ambush him on the road.
He wasn’t afraid, but it would be hard to escape with a few disciples tagging along.
"Mr. Ding, may I have a word with you?" A crisp voice sounded from behind Ding Huan.
Without turning around, Ding Huan knew that Liu Yinyu had come over.
He turned and said,
"Of course, but right now I need to find a Rest Inn to settle in first."
Liu Yinyu smiled slightly:
"It’s not easy to find a good Rest Inn in Wanbao City right now. The Ancient Jade Rest Tower where I stay is quite nice.
My suite has at least six rooms. How about you rest at my place for a few days first?"
Liu Yinyu seemed to know why Ding Huan wanted to stay at a Rest Inn.
Ding Huan certainly wouldn’t stand on ceremony and said with a cupped fist,
"Then I’ll be disturbing Lord Liu."
He was staying at the Rest Inn not to rest but to refine talismans.
Even if he couldn’t kill that old bastard Shi Qi Qiu, it would be good to seriously injure the old bastard.
...
Liu Yinyu was not wrong; if Ding Huan didn’t stay at the Ancient Jade Rest Tower, he indeed wouldn’t find a place to stay.
Wanbao City had now become a treasure trove for various sects and business associations.
As for Wanbao City’s original purpose concerning the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield, that had probably long been forgotten by people.
Mo Huaping and Yan Mei knew that the Sect Master and Liu Yinyu had things to discuss and took the initiative to find rooms to rest. Lao Liu, knowing that his cultivation was the weakest, knew he must go into closed-door cultivation and seize the time to cultivate.
"Sect Master Ding, I have a few questions I’d like to ask you."
The reason Liu Yinyu had spoken for Ding Huan today was to ask about Liu Yinzhu.
"Please go ahead." Ding Huan also guessed that Liu Yinyu was there for Liu Yinzhu; these two women actually didn’t look much alike.
Ding Huan, who practiced the Great Universe Technique, had a strong sixth sense and always felt that there was some connection between them.
The last time Liu Yinyu appeared at the Blue Star Sect’s gate, she must have been looking for Liu Yinzhu, but then she was chased by Shi Jiantian and had to flee first.
"Your Blue Star Sect has an elder named Liu Yinzhu, and her name is somewhat similar to mine. Do you know where she comes from?"
Liu Yinyu was indeed inquiring about Liu Yinzhu.
Ding Huan shook his head:
"I don’t know, I did ask Liu Yinzhu if she had any sisters or the like. She said she didn’t"
Hearing Ding Huan’s response, Liu Yinyu looked slightly disappointed. Then she noticed a loophole in Ding Huan’s words and asked, puzzled,
"Sect Master Ding, why did you ask Liu Yinzhu if she had any sisters?"
She was sure that this was the first time she and Ding Huan had met.
Ding Huan said indifferently:
"Because that day, you and Shi Jiantian fought at the gate of my sect, even going so far as to attack our Protecting Array. I thought you were looking for Liu Yinzhu, that’s why I asked."
"So it was you?" Liu Yinyu came to a realization.
"That’s right, if it wasn’t for me, you would have been killed by Shi Jiantian last time. I stopped Shi Jiantian, but you chose to flee alone," Ding Huan chuckled.
Liu Yinyu stood up and bowed to Ding Huan,
"Thank you, Sect Master Ding, for your life-saving grace. Up there on Purple Garden Mountain, if it hadn’t been for Sect Master Ding’s rescue, I really couldn’t have gotten away.
I thought later that someone was watching us, and since I was seriously injured, I did not dare to meet with you.
After I left, I also felt it strange, if someone wanted to attack me, I couldn’t have escaped."
Liu Yinyu was genuinely grateful. Ding Huan had killed that scumbag Shi Jiantian; it wasn’t just a simple case of saving her but also preserving her dignity.
Ding Huan waved his hand:
"Lord Liu, today I actually do have a favor to ask of you."
