"Teacher Ding!"
"Big Brother!"
"Happy Brother!"
"Captain!"
(Continue...)
"For a moment, various titles echoed in Ding Huan's ears. Ding Huan had already seen Li Yinzhu and Guan Ziao."
He was a bit confused why these two people would come here. He still greeted them one by one:
"Met the Elder Liu, met Princess Wan, I didn't expect to see the two of you here. Truly, everywhere one goes, one meets someone."
Li Yinzhu was greatly surprised. When she last saw Ding Huan, he seemed to be in the early stage of refining vital energy.
How come this time she looked at Ding Huan and it seemed very ordinary? Could one's cultivation actually decline?
No, it seems as if there's something intangible surrounding Ding Huan that cannot be put into words. There's a sense of boundlessness.
That's impossible. Ding Huan is only a cultivator at the Qi Refining stage. What she values about Ding Huan is not his cultivation, but rather his methods.
Li Yinzhu strived to clear her mind, and indeed, upon further examination of Ding Huan, he appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary cultivator.
Alas, Xifeng City is still like a secular city. Here, it's incredibly difficult for Ding Huan to advance his cultivation.
Ding Huan might have been out searching for ways to construct a foundation during this period. It's no wonder he failed, without the help of his teacher or some powerful cultivation method, it's very hard for him to achieve that level.
"Teacher Ding, I've been waiting for you here for quite some time. Today, I finally get to see you." Li Yinzhu said with a smile.
Guang Yi was even more excited as she went forward to kowtow, "Guang Yi greets Big Brother Ding."
Er...
Ding Huan looked at Guang Yi in astonishment. This woman always thought highly of herself, how could she address him as Big Brother?
"The leaders of the Zhuo Xing Nation, Gao Danping and Qiu Xingyuan, have paid their respects to Senior Ding."
After seeing Ding Huan return, the male and female leaders of the Zhuo Xing Nation even greeted him with courtesy. This clearly shows how extraordinary Ding Huan is.
So they dared not show any negligence and hurried over to pay their respects.
Ding Huan's gaze fell on these two people:
"I've heard that you've come to hold me accountable for killing the mayor of Xifeng City?"
"Not at all, Senior, you misunderstand. It was Cui Hu'er from the Wanmeng Sect who forcefully demanded that we come here, and the reason was also one he sought out," Gao Danping explained eagerly.
He knew that such a claim would be no use if Cui Hu'er weren't dead today. If not, they would both suffer greatly and might be doomed to death.
At the same time, he also knew that if he dared to take the responsibility, then they might be dead at the hands of this Ding person in front of them right now.
He knew that someone who dared to kill the city lord Xue Bu wouldn't be afraid to kill them, two minor figures from the Zhuo Xing Nation.
"Yes, the several city guards and this demon beast were also killed or injured by Cui Hu'er," Guang Xingyuan also quickly stated.
Cui Hu'er, upon seeing Ding Huan's gaze sweep over her, her expression changed in an instant. She quickly moved forward and bowed:
"Met Senior Ding. This matter was a misunderstanding on my part, and I am willing to make a compensation."
Due to the nearly all of her teeth being knocked out by Li Yinzhu, Cui Hu'er's speech was now unclear, and she had a big gap in her speech.
"My pet beast was killed by you. You say it was a misunderstanding, do I need to kill you too and say it's a misunderstanding?"
Ding Huan looked at Cui Hu'er standing in front of him and said, "Haha."
Cui Hu'er sneered in his heart. "If you kill me? If it weren't for this True Dan cultivator, I could easily slap you to death, this little insect."
"I am willing to bear the mistake. If it can relieve the anger of my friend, I do not mind standing here and letting you beat me once."
Cui Hu'er spoke with an tone of apology and respect.
Who knows, he was forced to do so.
On the side, the Sixth Brother heard Ding Huan say that it had been killed, and immediately rolled its eyes and fell to the ground without moving.
Ding Huan said that it had been killed. If it could still look around, Ding Huan would definitely curse it for being foolish, and perhaps call it a pig.
It despised pigs the most.
Ding Huan looked towards Li Yinzhu:
"Li Elder, do you have a crystal image ball?"
Li Yinzhu immediately took out a crystal ball and handed it to Ding Huan. She didn't know what Ding Huan intended to do.
Ding Huan swept his spiritual thoughts over and knew how to use it.
Ding Huan smiled and looked at Cui Hu'er:
"If that's the case, you'll say the same thing again. Need to add reasons, and what if he kills you?"
Cui Hu'er didn't care. Even if Ding Huan struck him with all his strength, what could he do? After he returned to his sect, he would get revenge on that woman.
As for Ding Huan, he saw him as nothing more than a corpse in his eyes.
It's the stairs down, right? I'll give you the first step, and then I'll double it back.
"I killed someone in Xifeng City without distinguishing right from wrong, and I struck down Ding Huan's pet beast."
"I am willing to bear the mistake. If it can relieve the anger of my friend, I do not mind standing here and letting my friend beat me once."
"If I can't bear this hit and am killed by Ding Huan, it is my own fault. It has nothing to do with anyone else."
As soon as Cui Hu'er finished speaking, Ding Huan sent a punch flying.
Cui Hu'er sneered, "Just... "
But just as he was thinking about it, his heart skipped a beat. A sense of death wrapped around his entire soul.
Cui Hu'er was terrified inside. He dared not stand where he was to let Ding Huan hit him. He desperately tried to run his true essence in an attempt to break free from the death grip.
Suddenly, he realized that all his efforts were in vain. He could only watch helplessly as Ding Huan's punch reached his forehead.
From a distance, Li Yinzhu sighed. She thought that what Ding Huan was saying as the controller of Xifeng City was just a way to climb down from the stage.
This was also a helpless situation, since Ding Huan had not yet joined the Zixia Valley. He was still facing a qi refining powerhouse from the Wanmeng Sect.
As Ding Huan delivered the punch, she immediately sensed that something was amiss.
Her mind could not grasp where the lethal intent of this punch came from. Facing this punch, she even felt a sense of helplessness. What kind of punch is this?
"Po!" It was as if a watermelon was blasted apart, bursting into a colorful mess.
Ding Huan's hand twitched, and the blood splattered by him was swept away and scattered on the ground.
After Ding Huan agreed to Cui Hu'er's request, Gao Danping and Guang Xingyuan were already waiting to die. If Cui Hu'er was not dead, they would definitely be the ones to die.
It was only when they saw Cui Hu'er's brain matter burst out that they realized how ruthless Ding Huan could be.
"Everyone should go do what they need to do. Xifeng City will not change." Ding Huan waved to the crowd surrounding him.
Although Ding Huan had not appeared, everyone in Xifeng City knew of his fame. Therefore, after Ding Huan spoke up, everyone quickly dispersed.
After Ding Huan took away Cui Hu'er's storage bag, the body on the ground was automatically cleaned up by the city guards.
"Yan Mei, take the body of the Sixth Brother back. Please, Li Elder and Princess Wan, let's go back to the city to speak."
Ding Huan, after arriving here, promptly and decisively handled the matter and directly invited Li Yinzhu and Guang Yi back to the city for a discussion.
Li Yinzhu mentally sighed, she really hadn't made a mistake in her judgment.
The way she handled this matter, her speed and the way she did it, were things she would never dare to do. It appeared simple and rough, but there was still a measure of consideration.
If she had been in Ding Huan's position, would she dare to kill Cui Hu'er? She definitely wouldn't.
But if Ding Huan did everything exactly as she thought, why would she need to seek out Ding Huan in the first place?
She even definitely believes that if Ding Huan wasn't going to reside in Xifeng City, Ding Huan wouldn't have used the crystal ball to record Cui Hu'er's image.
This is the helplessness of being weak.
...
Yan Mei led the Sixth Brother and followed Ding Huan, Li Yinzhu and Guang Yi followed as well, they all headed towards Ding Huan's residence in the Dacheng Crystal Region.
Upon returning to the courtyard, everyone took their seats in the reception room according to their status. Ding Huan asked:
"Li Elder and Princess Guang, your visit to seek me out must be for something important, right? Please, do tell. As long as I, Ding Huan, can help, I will not delay."
Li Yinzhu is decent, Ding Huan is willing to help her with small things, but he can't help with major things.
As for Guang Yi, according to logic, after everyone crossed the Lost Swamp, they should have settled their scores.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for Guang Yi, he wouldn't have had the chance to come to the Daoist world, at least not yet, still searching for opportunities in the mortal realm.
So he plans to help her as much as he can.
"Please, Guang Yi, you go first." Li Yinzhu and Ding Huan's conversation wasn't something that could be finished in a short amount of time.
Guang Yi quickly stood up and bowed to Ding Huan:
"Brother Ding, after entering the Yan Yue Sect, my cultivation has been steadily improving. However, recently I've been feeling like my body doesn't belong to me."
This feeling is quite strange. I've thoroughly investigated but found nothing abnormal. I vaguely feel that this is not a good thing."
I have no friends in the Daoist world. Among the people I know, the most capable is only Brother Ding. That's why I've dared to come forward and ask for help."
Hearing this, Li Yinzhu was somewhat surprised. Guang Yi was being possessed? No, possessing someone isn't to consume their soul first and then control their body? Why would it be the opposite?"
Ding Huan stared at Guang Yi, whose face turned red under Ding Huan's gaze. She quickly lowered her head.
She soon realized that although Ding Huan was staring at her, there was nothing impolite about it. It seemed as if he was lost in thought.
Ding Huan indeed had something on his mind. He was calculating Guang Yi's future.
After the calculation, Ding Huan was also overjoyed in his heart. It seemed that after he forged his Dao Base and condensed the Star Cloud, his predictions had become much clearer.
Power changes everything.
Ding Huan soon frowned.
Guang Yi seems to be about to leave the Daoist world and enter a higher-dimensional realm. And with Guang Yi's departure, the vision of her future came to an abrupt end.
Being killed? That shouldn't be. Guang Yi is the wife of the Second Young Master of the Sect. Even if she leaves the Daoist world and enters the Ascended Realm, she would still have people protecting her.
For Ding Huan, Guang Yi is entering a realm that is higher than the Daoist world. Could it be anywhere other than the Ascended Realm?"
Guang Yi watched Ding Huan with an anxious expression. Ding Huan used to be like this too, always taking some time to think before making a decision.
"Princess Guang, give me your wrist." After a while, Ding Huan suddenly said.
