"Yes, there are..." Nian Jinqing scrambled to his feet, not even bothering to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, as he hurried upstairs to fetch the item.

Ding Huan’s Divine Will could now extend to about seventeen meters. He didn’t follow Nian Jinqing upstairs but kept his Divine Will on the man.

It seemed Nian Jinqing realized he couldn’t escape and rather candidly took down a long wooden box.

Ding Huan knew at a glance that the wooden box was a recent make. Opening it revealed a sword about one meter long inside. The blade emitted a dim glow, and its edge appeared vaguely shaped.

Casually grabbing the sword, Ding Huan couldn’t help but inwardly praise it as fine craftsmanship.

The quality of this sword was on par with some of the medium cold weapons from the Changyi Continent.

Without even trying, Ding Huan knew from his Divine Will sweeping over the edge that this was definitely a sharp weapon.

The sword now belonged to him.

Ding Huan put the sword back into the box and then said, "Go and bring all the Primordial Qi Stones and that Third-level Fierce Beast Demon Core."

When Nian Jinqing had gone to fetch the sword, Ding Huan had seen that he had at least a dozen Primordial Qi Stones.

He’d never used such a thing before, and his desire to go to the Kunlun Mountain Range was largely for the Primordial Qi Stones.

Why should he go to the trouble of a long journey when they were readily available here?

Nian Jinqing’s hand trembled. It wasn’t the dozen or so Primordial Qi Stones he regretted; what was their worth if he lost his life?

He was sure Ding Huan hadn’t gone upstairs with him. How did he know about the Primordial Qi Stones? And if Ding Huan suddenly remembered them, why did he also think of the Demon Core?

"Yes." Nian Jinqing didn’t dare delay, hurrying upstairs once more and bringing down the eleven Primordial Qi Stones and the Third-level Fierce Beast’s Demon Core into Ding Huan’s hands.

Touching a Primordial Qi Stone for the first time, Ding Huan took one in his hand.

A surge of abundant Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi flowed through his palm, and he was delighted; these were truly exceptional items. If he had a few dozen of them, it wouldn’t take long for him to step into the realm of Fifth-level gene cultivators.

Although Ding Huan was eager to try them out, he knew now wasn’t the time.

Stowing the Primordial Qi Stones and Demon Core in his backpack, he then asked, "Where did you get these Primordial Qi Stones from?"

"Squeak squeak!" Lao Liu, seeing Ding Huan put the Primordial Qi Stones into his backpack, called out a few times in apparent longing.

Ding Huan didn’t even bother to acknowledge Lao Liu. That guy was just tagging along to the Kunlun Mountain Range to strike it rich; he wasn’t Ding Huan’s pet.

Why should he give any Primordial Qi Stones to Lao Liu when he didn’t have enough for himself?

"They are from the Kunlun Mountain Range; I have a map here."

After saying this, Nian Jinqing walked over to the map, pointing at a location marked as a canyon, "I found them here."

"Did you go there alone?" asked Ding Huan, puzzled.

To him, it seemed Nian Jinqing’s abilities fell short of what was needed to search for Primordial Qi Stones in the Kunlun Mountain Range.

Nian Jinqing quickly explained, "No, many people went, including members from the Genetic Alliance and Martial Arts Alliance, as well as experts from the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges.

Because my cultivation was relatively weaker, I ended up with fewer Primordial Qi Stones."

Ding Huan knew that Nian Jinqing was hinting at him to join the Genetic Alliance, and indeed the idea was now quite appealing to him.

If Nian Jinqing had a dozen Primordial Qi Stones left, then surely the Genetic Alliance had more?

On his last visit to the Genetic Alliance Headquarters, he had made a mess and had failed to inquire about the Primordial Qi Stones, a mistake not to be repeated today.

"Tell me about this Starry Sky Blade I’m holding," Ding Huan continued his questioning.

What he really cared about wasn’t so much the Starry Sky Blade, but rather the alien spacecraft Fei Tongtong mentioned.

For Ding Huan, leaving Earth was just a matter of time. If he couldn’t do it through the Genetic Alliance, then he would need a reliable spaceship.

Although Earth’s spacecraft were decent, they fell short of Ding Huan’s requirements.

Nian Jinqing promptly replied, "Seven years ago, an alien spaceship received a signal transmitted by the Genetic Alliance and found Earth..."

"I know this part, but where is the spaceship now?" Ding Huan was aware that it was a death wish for the Genetic Alliance to keep sending out signals seeking extraterrestrial civilizations.

While he didn’t know the subsequent events, he was certain that after the spaceship disappeared on Earth, it was only the beginning of the story.

"Yes, the spaceship is currently at the Federation Headquarters, located on the Tuo Peninsula. It’s under the joint supervision of the Genetic Alliance, Martial Arts Alliance, and Federation Republic."

"And how did you come by the Starry Sky Blade?"

"I exchanged it with the map and Primordial Qi Stones. I got a map of the Martial Arts ruins in the Kunlun Mountain.

My team and I were hunting Heavenly Fragrance Deer in the Kunlun Mountain Range when we stumbled upon an ancient temple in ruins. We found a Taoist shrine beneath the temple, and the map was right there.

I copied it from the wall."

Nian Jinqing was forthcoming with everything he knew, fully aware of what he should and shouldn’t do at the moment.

"And the shrine?" Ding Huan asked further.

"It was taken by the Genetic Alliance, and it was one of the bargaining chips for the Starry Sky Blade."

"Chairman..." Nian Jinqing had just replied when shouts erupted from outside.

Nian Jinqing could only glance at Ding Huan’s expressionless face and say, "Let’s all go in together."

In just a short time, twenty-three high-ranking members of the Beast King Group entered the vast hall. When they saw that the floor was entirely covered with corpses, everyone was stunned.

A few quick-reacting fellows had already drawn their handguns.

But no matter how fast the handguns were, they were not as fast as Ding Huan’s Wind Blades.

Ding Huan showed no mercy as he swung Wind Blades one after another. In the blink of an eye, all these people fell to the ground.

Nian Jinqing felt a chill down his spine. He never thought of himself as inferior to anyone else in killing, but today he truly understood what real slaughter was.

It was said that he, Nian Jinqing, was a slaughter demon. But Ding Huan’s bloodlust was incomparably stronger.

He could have just killed Nian Jinqing alone, yet Ding Huan insisted on calling everyone over to kill them together. If that’s not a slaughter demon, what is?

Nian Jinqing was genuinely scared. He was worried that Ding Huan would get rid of him once and for all.

And that Invisible Blade Radiance, he’d always thought it was the Ghost Hand Crossbow. Now he saw clearly, it was the True Essence Blade.

A Martial Arts Practitioner could only have a chance at True Essence Blade once their cultivation reached beyond the Innate stage. Ding Huan could now manifest the True Essence Blade, wasn’t he Innate then?

He suddenly remembered the few students of Ding Huan on the human corridor defense line. The rumors were that they manifested the Invisible Blade Radiance remarkably well; it seemed it did indeed come from Ding Huan.

But could those students be Innate? That seemed unlikely.

He wondered if Ding Huan would go to the human corridor defense line to save his students. If he did, that would be for the best.

On the human corridor defense line, even Ding Huan would probably have to sacrifice his life if he went there.

Then Nian Jinqing sighed. He was sure that a person like Ding Huan would never go to the human corridor defense line for some casually accepted disciples.

Because he was that kind of person. Even if he was sure to win, he would not go to any defense line and risk his life against Fierce Beasts for a few insignificant disciples. That would be idiotic.

After killing these fellows, Ding Huan extended his hand, and the map hanging on the wall fell into his grasp.

Ding Huan rolled up the map and put it in his bag along with the knife. However, the knife case was too long, leaving a bit sticking out.

Ding Huan didn’t care. He looked at Nian Jinqing and said, "Do you know where we should go now?"

"I do, I do... We are going to the Kunlun Mountain Range. There is no high-speed train here to Kunlun Mountain Range, but I have a plane..." Nian Jinqing quickly said.

"Not bad, it looks like sparing your life has some value after all." Ding Huan gave a rare compliment.

Nian Jinqing was filled with fear and trepidation, feeling slightly relieved when he heard Ding Huan’s words. All he worried about was that Ding Huan would send an Invisible Blade Radiance his way with a flick of his wrist.

"Going to the Kunlun Mountain Range is not urgent. First, take me to see the Haiyun Mutated Material. I want to see if my two friends have come back," Ding Huan said indifferently.

"Yes, yes..." Nian Jinqing quickly nodded.

"Let’s go out. Lead the way." Ding Huan had no intention of being polite to this ruthless fellow.

Nian Jinqing breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the courtyard, and took a look at Ding Huan.

Seeing that Ding Huan gestured for him to drive, he went over and brought his car around.

Before the car even reached the Haiyun Mutated Material store, Ding Huan saw Fei Tongtong with eyes rimmed red, supporting Zhao Quan inside the shop, while Mu Tingyun looked a bit pale, but was still relatively healthy.

"Stop the car, tell Mu Tingyun and the others that I’ve already left and they don’t need to wait for me," Ding Huan said without moving, simply instructing Nian Jinqing.

Ding Huan knew that the reason why Mu Tingyun and the others were in the shop was probably that they were waiting for him. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have shown up there.

"Yes." Nian Jinqing promptly parked the car and walked into Haiyun Mutated Material.

"Will Mr. Ding come?" Mu Tingyun asked uncertainly.

Fei Tongtong didn’t know for sure if Ding Huan would come. If Lao Liu were here, Ding Huan would definitely come.

Now that Lao Liu wasn’t here, whether Ding Huan would still come to greet them was unclear to her.

"Nian President, you..." Before Fei Tongtong could answer, Mu Tingyun saw Nian Jinqing approaching the door.

Nian Jinqing didn’t dare to go in but bowed at the doorway and said, "I apologize for my earlier actions. It was wrong of the Beast King Group, and I offer my apologies here.

Mr. Ding has to leave for a while and asked me to let you know you don’t need to wait for him."

After speaking, Nian Jinqing bowed again and then turned to leave.

"Ting Yun, why is President Nian with Mr. Ding..." Fei Tongtong was dumbfounded. If Mr. Ding was with Nian Jinqing, did they have any way out?

Mu Tingyun shook her head. "It’s okay now. This Nian Jinqing must have been forced by Ding Huan to come and apologize. You can see his breath is disordered and his body is covered with bloodstains; he’s clearly suffered serious injuries."

After that, Mu Tingyun bowed towards the door, her way of expressing gratitude for Ding Huan’s lifesaving grace.

"Mr. Ding, I have relayed the message," Nian Jinqing said respectfully after getting back into the car.

"Good, now drive to the East Communication Gene Center Building," Ding Huan was quite satisfied.

Nian Jinqing shuddered. Only then did he realize that Ding Huan had no intention of going straight to the Kunlun Mountain Range. He was heading once again to the Genetic Alliance’s nest to settle the score with the Genetic Alliance.

Indeed, he was not someone to be trifled with; that vindictive nature was simply too strong.
