MTLNOVEL Chapter 821: Actually Didn't Make a Move
At this moment, his Divine Will has already begun to infiltrate the entire Divine Woman Saint Sect.
The slash he just executed wasn't just to assert his authority but also to shatter all the restrictions and protecting arrays of the Divine Woman Saint Sect, to prevent them from obstructing his Divine Will's investigation.
Even so, Ding Huan still felt that his divine sense was being blocked at several places.
There's one place where an Innate Treasure serves as the array gate. What is being hidden inside?
This Divine Woman Saint Sect indeed has some secrets.
"Haha, could it be Mr. Ding Huan and Mr. Guan Huan." A hearty laugh echoed forth.
Ding Huan's divine sense swept over, revealing a man with long hair flowing elegantly, a scholarly demeanor.
This is a Creation Realm Saint.
Ding Huan immediately discerned the other's cultivation, and the Great Dao Condensation; compared to Qu Ge, he is not just a level stronger.
Ding Huan did not recognize the newcomer, but Guan Huan certainly did, hastily clasping his fists: "So it's Daoist Zuo in person, long time no see."
After speaking, Guan Huan said to Ding Huan: "Brother Ding Huan, this is Daoist Zuo Qiong of the Extreme Origin Dao Court."
Zuo Qiong?
Ding Huan understood; he and Guan Huan had just destroyed Qu's Dao Court.
Now they've arrived at the Divine Woman Saint Sect.
The Divine Woman Saint Sect is indeed part of the Extreme Origin Dao Court's territory, so naturally Zuo Qiong, as the Dao Court Master, is uneasy.
Who knows if the rising 'Two Huan of the Heavenly Ruins' might harbor resentment toward the Extreme Origin Dao Court due to the Divine Woman Saint Sect?
In the face of these two people, no matter how many cultivator armies there are, they would be a mere fabrication.
The only real contest is the number of Eternal Saints.
"Ding Huan greets Daoist Zuo. Our visit is abrupt; we apologize for that." Ding Huan likewise returned the gesture with a polite greeting.
Though the Divine Woman Saint Sect is part of the Extreme Origin Dao Court, if they obstruct him in his search, he would likewise show no mercy.
According to Yan Chongjin, the relationship between Zuo Qiong and Chang Yun is very poor.
There might be a chance to sow discord, inciting Zuo Qiong against Chang Yun.
Zuo Qiong laughed heartily, waving his hand and saying:
"Not at all, I actually wanted to invite you two as guests to the Heavenly Extreme Holy City. I've recently acquired some good items, and I want to invite both of you to share them.
Mr. Ding, I and Brother Guan are old friends; we once discussed Dao together, and even went to the Void Universe."
Zuo Qiong spoke in a friendly tone, indicating his previous good relationship with Guan Huan, and clearly aiming to build a positive relationship with Ding Huan and Guan Huan.
The Heavenly Extreme Holy City is the capital of the Extreme Origin Dao Court.
Ding Huan did not find it surprising; given what he and Guan Huan had done, no Dao Court Master wouldn't be afraid...
Ding Huan's thoughts suddenly halted, as Zuo Qiong's hand gesture fell, he felt a vast, imposing aura of the Great Dao.
But that feeling flickered by, immediately dissipating.
That absolutely isn't something the Creation Saint Realm could possess.
Guan Huan is a Creation Saint, having been with him for such a long time, Ding Huan's understanding of the Creation Saint is also comprehensive.
Yet Guan Huan absolutely couldn't have such a terrifying aura of the Great Dao, nor could he casually exhibit it.
Ding Huan didn't use his divine sense to scrutinize Zuo Qiong, instead he began feeling through the laws lingering in the void after his slash.
Within mere breaths, Ding Huan confirmed.
Zuo Qiong isn't a Creation Saint.
This guy very likely has stepped beyond the Creation Saint Realm, already the Fourth Step of the Great Dao.
If Zuo Qiong is the Fourth Step of the Great Dao, then everything makes sense.
Chang Yun, whom he had previously swept with divine sense, is definitely not at the Fourth Step; otherwise, he would not have dared to come down and confront him and Guan Huan.
Since Chang Yun isn't the Fourth Step of the Great Dao, why does he falsely claim to the outside world that he might be the Fourth Step?
The only possibility is that his archenemy currently is the Fourth Step, and he's afraid.
So Chang Yun must create the illusion that he might also be the Fourth Step, to make Zuo Qiong wary.
Ding Huan took a deep breath, this guy is hiding very deeply.
In this case, this guy's invitation for him and Guan Huan to go to the Heavenly Extreme Holy City is certainly not with good intentions.
There remains just one issue he hasn't clearly thought through; if Zuo Qiong is already the Fourth Step of the Great Dao, why not take direct action?
Guan Huan laughed lightly and said: "I came out this time entirely to accompany Brother Ding Huan."
The implication is clear, wherever Ding Huan goes, he would go too.
If Ding Huan agrees to go to the Heavenly Extreme Holy City, naturally he would also go.
Zuo Qiong rejoiced greatly, looking at Ding Huan even more warmly: "Mr. Ding, I admire you immensely. As we will all be in the Little Heavenly Ruins in the future, we must interact more frequently."
Ding Huan sneered inwardly; who would willingly interact with this old tortoise?
He feigned a difficult expression:
"Alas, had it been a few days earlier, I would have certainly gone with you. I'm also eager to interact with Daoist Zuo more, and discussing Dao with him would be my utmost honor.
However, a few days ago, I promised Daoist Chang Yun to meet him in the Heavenly Abyss Dao City, and, as helping Brother Guan to resolve some grievances."
Without hesitation, Ding Huan lied.
He is certain that if he used another excuse to decline, Zuo Qiong would surely continue to invite him no matter what.
If his rejection were too conspicuous, this guy might guess that he's discovered something.
If Zuo Qiong were to become desperate and act now, he and Guan Huan certainly wouldn't be Zuo Qiong's match.
Ding Huan did not know what the Fourth Step of Dao meant.
From the slight aura of the Great Dao that Zuo Qiong unintentionally revealed, Ding Huan was sure that the Fourth Step of Dao was fundamentally different from the previous three.
So, no matter what, he could not let Zuo Qiong be driven to desperation.
Guan Huan felt a tremor in his heart; when did Ding Huan arrange to meet Chang Yun in Tao City of the Abyss?
The hatred between him and Chang Yun was a deadly grudge, Ding Huan could not be unaware of it.
However, he's not a fool; for Ding Huan to speak like this, he must have his own reasons.
He looked at Ding Huan in confusion: "Brother Ding Huan, was your previous transmission with Chang Yun about this matter?"
Ding Huan forced a smile: "Brother Guan, it's because Chang Yun went too far, and I was worried you wouldn't want to meet him. So, I didn't mention it."
Guan Huan's expression was somewhat unpleasant, yet he did not continue to speak.
Zuo Qiong slightly frowned.
He knew about the time when Ding Huan and Guan Huan destroyed the Qu's Dao Court, and Chang Yun went to Xingqiu Dao City.
So, Ding Huan's words might be true.
Ding Huan and Guan Huan being able to destroy the Qu's Dao Court posed a deadly threat to the Changxing Dao Court.
It's not surprising that Chang Yun was intimidated and took the initiative to seek peace.
"Haha, well, it doesn't matter, once your business in Tao City of the Abyss is concluded, you must visit the Heavenly Extreme Holy City as a guest." Zuo Qiong laughed heartily, seemingly not bothered by the matter at all.
"In that case, thank you, Daoist Zuo."
Only then did Jiang Yiyu have the chance to step forward and bow in salutation: "Jiang Yiyu from the Divine Woman Saint Sect, greets the Daoist."
That forlorn look evoked sympathy.
She not only refrained from asking Zuo Qiong to stand up for her, but even restrained some of her grievances.
She appeared very understanding.
Zuo Qiong nodded, saying nothing, nor did he leave.
Ding Huan looked at Jiang Yiyu: "Sect Master Jiang, where did Bai Yue go? I'll give you one more chance; if you bring Bai Yue here, Brother Guan and I will not pursue today's matter anymore."
Even if someone were to address it, it would be Bai Yue confronting Jiang Yiyu.
Jiang Yiyu was about to continue claiming ignorance when she suddenly felt a tremor in her mind.
Her face turned pale immediately.
This was the place locked by her Innate Treasure, and now that her mind trembled, it indicated that Ding Huan had found it and was breaking it open with his Divine Will.
This level of Divine Will attack might rip open her Magical Treasure Restriction in a short time and expose Bai Yue.
She quickly said, "Brother Ding, it's my fault. Bai Yue caused significant harm to my Divine Woman Saint Sect, I want to..."
Just then, Jiang Yiyu suddenly thought of throwing Bai Yue into her own world.
How could Ding Huan find Bai Yue then?
As she hesitated, Ding Huan's previously gentle methods suddenly turned violent.
Was this a Divine Will Ability?
Zuo Qiong also sensed Ding Huan's Yellow Flower Killing Divine Power, which was purely a Divine Will Ability.
He looked at Ding Huan without any change in expression, but his heart was hardly calm.
No wonder he could face twenty-seven foes alone and kill all of them without sustaining any injuries.
To wield Divine Will Ability to such an extent, how could he be merely called a genius?
Initially, he only coveted Ding Huan's great gene technique, but now he found that Ding Huan was a treasure trove.
"Crack!"
The restriction was torn apart by Ding Huan, followed by the grasp of Ding Huan's Divine Essence Handprint.
Bai Yue, who was now skin and bones, was brought before everyone by Ding Huan.
"Brother Ding, I was just about to hand over Bai Yue..." Jiang Yiyu's heart pounded wildly; she hadn't expected Ding Huan's power to be this formidable.
Before she could react, Ding Huan had broken through the dungeon restriction locked by her Innate Treasure and brought Bai Yue out.
At this moment, she worried Ding Huan would eliminate the Divine Woman Saint Sect just like he wiped out the Qu's Dao Court.
Zuo Qiong was utterly unreliable; up to now, he had shown no intention to intervene.
The feigned grievance and everything else she portrayed couldn't be upheld anymore.
Zuo Qiong stayed silent, merely acting as a bystander, watching from the sidelines.
Ding Huan looked at Jiang Yiyu and said coldly, "You tortured Brother Guan's brother Bai Yue to this state; I'll spare your sect, and this matter ends here for now.
What happens in the future is no longer my decision to make; let's see what Daoist Bai Yue thinks."
After speaking, Ding Huan cupped his fists toward Zuo Qiong: "Daoist Zuo, Brother Guan and I bid farewell, we shall visit Heavenly Extreme Holy City to converse further in the future."
Zuo Qiong laughed heartily: "Of course, of course, I'll be waiting for both of you in Heavenly Extreme Holy City."
Initially, Ding Huan intended to bring out a top-grade artifact Flying Treasure, but he changed his mind and summoned the Cosmic Pot instead.
Guan Huan boarded Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot with Bai Yue, and the Cosmic Pot initiated waves of Space Law Fluctuation, disappearing instantly.
Zuo Qiong eyed the departing Cosmic Pot with narrowed eyes.
This Flying Treasure was not simple; it was undoubtedly top-grade.
Jiang Yiyu still hadn't recovered.
Such a ruthless person as Ding Huan had let the Divine Woman Saint Sect off so easily?
Was it because of Daoist Zuo? But Zuo Qiong hadn't said a word to support her.
