Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 257 - 252: The Powerful Ding Sect Master

Upon seeing that Ding Huan’s Killing Space was nearly overwhelming Lu Yuan, Mo Zheng decided not to intervene.

He knew he couldn’t stop Ding Huan from killing Lu Yuan, and with Ding Huan’s strength, he could easily kill Mo Zheng as well.

Crack! Lu Yuan’s Double Dry Shovel Domain collapsed, and desperation surged in his heart.

He watched helplessly as Ding Huan’s Separation Spear surged with killing intent toward his brow. He wanted to dodge, but he was completely locked by Ding Huan’s killing intent, making even moving his body difficult, let alone dodging.

Boom! A red shadow rushed into Ding Huan’s Killing Space, and just as the Separation Spear was about to tear through Lu Yuan’s brow, it forcibly rescued him.

Lu Yuan, gasping for breath, retreated more than a dozen steps and stood next to Cen Fengqin. Just like the last time, he did not dare to retrieve his spare Double Dry Shovel.

Losing both his main Magical Treasure and his spare in fights against Ding Huan was a tremendous disgrace for any cultivator.

Yet, Lu Yuan felt not a hint of humiliation, but rather a sense of relief.

What did it matter if he lost his Magical Treasures? At least he had escaped with his life.

Although Hu Wuxin did not intervene, the woman he brought with him did not disappoint him.

Seeing Cen Fengqin intervene left Hu Wuxin somewhat speechless and shaking his head internally.

This woman really was used to comfort, meddling in such matters?

Without even understanding the full context, she represented the Sect and offended Ding Huan, a man of boundless potential — if that wasn’t foolish, what was?

"Stop, this is the Ascension Platform."

Cen Fengqin blocked Ding Huan’s Separation Spear and saved Lu Yuan’s life, then loudly rebuked Ding Huan.

But it seemed as if Ding Huan hadn’t heard her; he stepped forward, his spear generating a Killing Domain that enveloped Lu Yuan.

Previously, he had not even used his Divine Powers.

Now obstructed by this woman, Ding Huan simply invoked his second spear technique from the Nine Divine Powers: Annihilation.

Once the Annihilation Divine Power was invoked, the Killing Domain formed, and the ferocious killing field locked onto Lu Yuan, who was already dozens of feet away from Ding Huan.

Lu Yuan felt an unbearable discomfort, as if his Primordial Spirit was about to leave his body.

Cen Fengqin was furious, her Golden Phoenix Whip transforming into golden whip shadows.

But before her Golden Phoenix Whip Divine Power could fully unleash, she felt a horrifying killing vortex appear within her own Domain.

In the next moment, her whip shadows completely disintegrated, and Cen Fengqin felt a cold sweat break out on her back.

If the opponent attacked her at this moment, she would either die or be gravely wounded.

Cen Fengqin didn’t care about losing face anymore and frantically retreated.

Fortunately, Ding Huan’s Domain didn’t lock her, and she easily escaped his Killing Space.

Lu Yuan, however, wasn’t so lucky; the Separation Spear’s Killing Domain completely annihilated him.

Within the Killing Domain, spear intents slashed chaotically like torrents.

A spear creating a world, its passage erasing all traces.

Puff! Blood exploded; before his Primordial Spirit was destroyed, Lu Yuan could clearly see his body being torn to shreds, then dissolving into a mist of blood.

He regretted his actions; knowing Ding Huan was trouble, why did he still focus on the Purple Garden Mountain?

Knowing the others were unreliable, why did he still cooperate with them?

If Mo Zheng had been willing to give his full effort, coupled with Cen Fengqin, they might have stood a chance against Ding Huan.

Boom! The Primordial Spirit completely collapsed.

Ding Huan scooped up Lu Yuan’s ring with one hand, his spear thudding into the ground as he looked at Mo Zheng and asked,

"Are you Mo Zheng, the City Lord of True Essence Tao City?"

Mo Zheng folded his hands in salute, "Indeed, it’s Mo here. I’ve met Sect Master Ding."

In the distance, Cen Fengqin, who was shocked into retreating by Ding Huan’s attack, stared at him, too shocked to step forward and vent her anger.

She was only at the early stage of the Void God Realm, but she was from the Ascension Realm.

Though she couldn’t discern the full extent of Sect Master Ding’s strength, the viciousness of that vortex of killing intent was overwhelming.

She was certain that if a fight broke out, he could easily kill her.

"Did you, True Essence Tao City, along with Five Alchemy Dao Sect, Cultivation Commerce, and Yanyue Sect band together to found Purple Garden City solely because of the Purple Garden Mountain that belongs to my Blue Star Sect?"

Ding Huan’s tone was direct, with no beating around the bush.

Mo Zheng had seen clearly how Ding Huan killed Lu Yuan, and even Cen Fengqin’s intervention couldn’t stop it.

In fact, his cultivation level was only slightly higher than Lu Yuan’s.

Since Ding Huan could pursue him here and easily kill Lu Yuan, he could obviously kill Mo Zheng just as effortlessly.

Feeling the disparity in power between himself and Ding Huan, Mo Zheng hesitated no more and said straightforwardly,

"Sect Master Ding, I’m truly sorry for the occupation of Purple Garden Mountain by Purple Garden City; but do not blame me.

When Purple Garden City was established, the Blue Star Sect wasn’t yet formed, and it was initiated by Lu Yuan. This time when Lu Yuan was gathering forces in Purple Garden City, I had already told Qiu Kujin to withdraw from the city.

I did not expect things to escalate to this degree. I am unclear on what Qiu Kujin has said, as I haven’t met him yet."

At that moment, Hu Wuxin also laughed heartily and saluted, saying,

"Sect Master Ding, perhaps you do not recognize me, but I’ve long heard of you.

The City Master Mo did not misstate; during the great conference in the Ascension Realm, I had advised the City Master Mo, and what he said is true—he indeed planned to withdraw from Purple Garden City."

Zhu Feichong did not understand why the usually tactful Alliance Leader would go out of his way to speak for Mo Zheng this time.

Mo Zheng sighed in relief when he heard Hu Wuxin speaking up for him.

However, he noticed that even after Hu Wuxin finished speaking, Ding Huan remained silent, which tightened his heart. Could it be that Sect Master Ding still intended to kill him?

Given what had occurred in Ding Huan’s past, it wasn’t impossible. Otherwise, how would the Dual Soul Sect have been annihilated?

It was at this moment that he suddenly heard a message transmitted by Hu Wuxin:

"City Lord Mo, Sect Master Ding has no intention to act; it’s merely about compensation."

Once Hu Wuxin transmitted the message, Ding Huan sensed a shift in the rules and he didn’t bother trying to eavesdrop on Hu Wuxin’s private transmission.

Mo Zheng came to a realization then, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Ding Huan ask:

"Does City Lord Mo know where there might be a Star Sky Spiritual Vein?"

Upon Ding Huan’s inquiry, even the most oblivious person would understand that he was seeking compensation involving a Star Sky Spiritual Vein.

If Mo Zheng had possessed a Star Sky Spiritual Vein, he would have handed it to Ding Huan without hesitation.

But currently, he truly didn’t have one, and as he was unsure how to phrase his response, Hu Wuxin spoke again:

"There are two places where Sect Master Ding can find a Star Sky Spiritual Vein."

Hearing this, Ding Huan immediately perked up and quickly asked respectfully,

"Please enlighten me, Alliance Leader Hu."

Hu Wuxin, feeling reassured by Ding Huan’s approach, held his emotions in check.

He and Ding Huan had their conflicts. Previously, when the sect leaders of Dual Soul Sect, Yanyue Sect, and Ten Thousand Beast Sect jointly attacked Blue Star Sect, there were machinations by him involved.

He would not bother about others,

as they might not perceive nor make inquiries.

Regarding Ding Huan, he would never underestimate him; Sect Master Ding was indeed too terrifying.

Hu Wuxin was sure about the collusion among the Three Great Sects against Blue Star Sect, and Ding Huan knew Hu Wuxin had played a part in it.

Now, Ding Huan’s inquiring meant he might let go of their past grudge, contingent on the accuracy of the Star Sky Spiritual Vein locations provided by Hu Wuxin.

Hu Wuxin took out a Jade Scroll and inscribed something on it before handing it to Ding Huan:

"Sect Master Ding, here are two possible locations. You might want to check them later. Once this matter is concluded, why not join me for a visit to Two Realms City? It mainly concerns some matters of the Ascension Realm, which also involve you, Sect Master Ding."

Just as Ding Huan was about to inquire further, upon hearing Hu Wuxin’s invitation, he nodded and replied,

"That would be most kind. Thank you."

He wasn’t afraid of these people, but he still had the Blue Star Sect to consider.

Thus, making connections was necessary.

Ding Huan, after years of immersion, knew well that under most circumstances, there were no eternal feuds, only eternal interests.

As for the rare exceptions when his core was triggered, no matter the benefit offered, nothing could halt his determination for revenge.

Hu Wuxin chuckled heartily and then addressed Cen Fengqin again:

"Please, Immortal Cen!"

Letting Cen Fengqin go first was a sign of great respect.

Cen Fengqin was wary of Ding Huan. Seeing how decisively Ding Huan had killed Lu Yuan, she also refrained from overt actions against him.

Who could guarantee what this madman might do in anger? If he truly attacked and killed her, even if her Sect avenged her death on Ding Huan, what benefit would that hold for her?

Once she reached the Ascension Realm, she’d let this minor sect master understand the power of a Great Sect.

For now, she’d allow him his moment of arrogance.

Hu Wuxin let her go first, and she nodded at him, leading the way toward Two Realms City.

Ding Huan thought to himself how cunning Hu Wuxin truly was, conducting his affairs without leaving any trace.

He turned to Shen Jiankai and asked,

"What was that all about?"

Regardless, if disciples of Blue Star Sect bullied others, he would not let it slide.

Shen Jiankai bowed and reported the incident sincerely, without omission or exaggeration.

Ding Huan nodded:

"Well done. Remember, our disciples of Blue Star Sect don’t bully others, and no one can bully us either. If someone wants your life, you take theirs."

"Yes, Sect Master," Shen Jiankai responded, feeling instantly more backbone.

This was far more satisfying than the teachings at Purple Mist Valley, where disciples were taught to yield to or suffer losses against Great Sect disciples when encountering them outside.

Where else could you find the straightforwardness of their sect master? Take the life of anyone who threatens theirs.

"Sect Master, we have obtained an Ascension Token and can ascend to the Ascension Realm at any time, but Elder Liu is unsure of your wishes."

Zhu Feichong took the opportunity to ask.

Ding Huan stated:

"Cultivation is up to the individual. If you feel ready to take the challenge, then go for it. But remember, the moment you make this decision, be prepared to face the possibility of perishing at any time."

"Yes," both Shen Jiankai and Zhu Feichong bowed in response.

While waiting, Hu Wuxin and Mo Zheng, among others, couldn’t help but admire the discipline of Blue Star Sect. With such a powerful Sect Master, the sect’s future strength was almost inevitable.
