Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation

Wu Zhu's Divine Will swept over to Ding Huan's side. When he got a clear look at Ding Huan's face, he felt a tingling in his scalp.

The reason he sent his daughter over first was to visit Ding Huan and Guan Huan, which delayed her.

Unexpectedly, because she was a little late, his daughter almost got killed.

If his daughter were killed, Chen Chi's plan would succeed.

No wonder he dared to bid against Chen Chi. This person was the 'Heavenly Ruins Twin Joys' of Little Heavenly Ruins, famous as the one who wiped out Qu's Dao Court.

Probably only his own daughter foolishly thought this was a Loose Cultivator.

Seeing Ding Huan placing a bid, Wu Zhu voluntarily stopped bidding.

He absolutely couldn't compete with the 'Heavenly Ruins Twin Joys.'

Besides, his aim in grabbing the Bright Dao Scroll wasn't for himself; he purely wanted to stop Chen Chi from getting it.

Chen Chi's face turned gloomy.

He hadn't expected that after backing down once on the Little Destruction Technique, this Ding Huan would still be so oblivious and again bid against him for the Bright Dao Scroll.

Did he think Chen Chi was as easy to bully as Qu Ge?

Ha, you're blind as a bat.

Thinking of this, he unhesitatingly raised the price to 'three hundred top-grade Divine Spirit Veins.'

Unfortunately, he didn't have any Chaos Divine Spirit Veins. If he did, he would have taken them out to slap Ding Huan's face.

He wanted to but couldn't.

The Chaos Divine Spirit Veins of the Little Heavenly Ruins had long since been used up.

In fact, if you meet a truly needed cultivator, sometimes even offering a hundred top-grade Divine Spirit Veins for one Chaos Divine Spirit Vein wouldn't entice them.

Ding Huan also altered the price: "Two hundred and eighty top-grade Divine Spirit Veins, plus one Chaos Divine Spirit Vein."

Ding Huan believed his price could certainly suppress Chen Chi's offer.

Sure enough, as soon as Ding Huan offered his price, it overshadowed Chen Chi's offer.

Chen Chi knew that even if he added more top-grade Divine Spirit Veins, it would be meaningless.

In a bit, Ding Huan could casually bring out a few more Chaos Divine Spirit Veins to crush him.

And not only did he not have any Chaos Divine Spirit Veins, but his top-grade Divine Spirit Veins were also running low.

A pile of superior Divine Spirit Veins wouldn't do much in the competition for the Bright Dao Scroll.

"Haha, could this friend perhaps give me, Chen Chi, some face?"

Chen Chi took the initiative to speak.

After saying this, Chen Chi raised the price to four hundred top-grade Divine Spirit Veins.

This price was his limit.

For him, it was indeed damaging.

If he wasn't truly eager for the Bright Dao Scroll to prove the Fourth Step of Dao, he wouldn't be willing to continue bidding.

Ding Huan felt speechless about how ridiculous this guy was, every time not only bidding but also bringing up his own name, even taking into account a minor Divine King.

No class at all, that's Chen Chi for you.

Ding Huan unhesitatingly bid four hundred and one top-grade Divine Spirit Veins; this time he even added that Chaos Divine Spirit Vein.

Since you don't want face, there's no need to give face.

While others feared Chen Chi, Ding Huan had no idea who Chen Chi was.

Seeing that Ding Huan completely ignored him and even offered a bid that was a slap in the face.

Chen Chi's face was so dark it could drip black water.

Even if Ding Huan wiped out Qu's Dao Court, to be oppressed like this by Chen Chi, he would not let it rest.

He immediately sent a message to Chang Yun, knowing Chang Yun was here.

Sure enough, in just a moment, Chang Yun returned the message, and they agreed to meet at the exit of the Heavenly Abyss Dao City where Chang Yun would strike first.

At that time, he would blockade the Heavenly Abyss Dao City.

Then using the excuse of destroying the Heavenly Abyss Dao City, he would make a move against Ding Huan and Guan Huan.

Peng Fu's face was equally unattractive.

Ding Huan's bid this time was actually lower than the last.

Because the Chaos Divine Spirit Vein was too precious in the Little Heavenly Ruins.

Chen Chi, this bastard, thought he was impressive for being a Daoist Lord, ended up annoying Ding Huan so much that he didn't even bring out the Chaos Divine Spirit Vein.

Yet Ding Huan's bid was still higher than Chen Chi's.

Peng Fu waited half a day, and Chen Chi made no further bids.

He knew the four hundred top-grade Divine Spirit Veins were Chen Chi's limit, so he could only declare:

"Four hundred and one top-grade Divine Spirit Veins once... four hundred and one top-grade Divine Spirit Veins three times, sold."

The transaction was completed quickly.

After obtaining the Bright Dao Scroll, Ding Huan immediately stood up.

As Ding Huan, Guan Huan, and Bai Yue left the auction venue, the auction hall began murmuring in low voices.

Previously, many people speculated about who these three were, daring to challenge Daoist Lord Chen Chi of the Great Wheel Dao Court without giving him any face.

As the discussion grew, much information began to be shared.

In just a short time, the fame of the 'Heavenly Ruins Twin Joys' was revealed.

"Brother Ding Huan, we've offended another guy," Guan Huan said self-deprecatingly.

Bai Yue asked, "Brother Guan, did Chen Chi make a move when you were being besieged back then?"

Guan Huan shook his head, "He didn't make a move, but it wasn't much different from doing so. The Heavenly Abyss Dao City was his domain—how could he not know about the siege here?

What we have to face next is Chang Yun; adding Chen Chi as our enemy now and with Zuo Qiong eyeing us from the side, I'm worried our strength might be a bit lacking."

Ding Huan candidly replied, "We wouldn't have been friends with Chen Chi in the first place. Whether we offend him now or later, we still would have; nothing to be afraid of.

It's just that we can't stay in the Heavenly Abyss Dao City."

Ding Huan was also worried about Chang Yun and Chen Chi joining forces.

If Wu Zhu were to join, even if Zuo Qiong did not take action, they could only flee.

Moreover, if they fell into a disadvantageous position, the Great Wheel Commerce would certainly help Chen Chi of the Great Wheel Dao Court and Chang Yun of the Changxing Dao Court.

Currently, among the three major commerce houses in Tianyuan Tao City, there are Creation Realm experts present.

Dealing with the Qu Family was simple because he had deployed the Qu's Genetic Slaughter Law.

But he didn't have this Innate advantage against Chen Chi and Chang Yun.

"Mr. Ding, we're listening to you. Where should we head now?" Bai Yue asked.

Despite his respect for Guan Huan, he knew that Brother Guan was not decisive.

Ding Huan did not continue speaking but stopped instead.

Two figures quickly chased after them, appearing behind them in a short time.

It was Wu Zhu and his daughter, whom his Divine Will had previously probed.

Seeing Wu Zhu approaching, Guan Huan and Bai Yue stepped aside slightly, subtly surrounding Wu Zhu.

Wu Zhu cupped his hands in apology, saying, "Before the auction, I visited Brother Guan and Mr. Ding... This must be Friend Bai."

"While I wasn't present, my daughter offended Mr. Ding, so I have come to apologize on her behalf," Wu Zhu said with a bow.

Ding Huan returned the courtesy and said, "Daoist Wu speaks too highly; it is no major issue."

Wu Zhu handed a jade box to Ding Huan and said earnestly, "It's not trivial; my daughter almost acted due to others' instigation, causing me to feel ashamed towards Mr. Ding. Please accept this."

Ding Huan didn't need to use his Divine Will to know that Wu Zhu was giving him the Tao Fruit of Yongsheng.

In truth, he didn't care much about this Tao Fruit.

He knew Wu Zhu didn't care much about it either.

Wu Zhu produced this Tao Fruit to express goodwill and forge an alliance.

If he didn't accept it, Wu Zhu might overthink.

Ding Huan also wanted to establish good relations with Wu Zhu.

At least Wu Zhu was better than the schemers Zuo Qiong and Chen Chi.

"Many thanks to Daoist Wu." Ding Huan received the Tao Fruit of Yongsheng and expressed his gratitude.

Knowing Wu Zhu intended to form good ties, Ding Huan felt much relieved.

He always had a bad premonition: Chang Yun and Chen Chi, these two old schemers, might take action as they exited Tianyuan Tao City.

Now, with Wu Zhu's friendly involvement, even giving Chang Yun more courage, he wouldn't dare take action.

Seeing Ding Huan accept his Tao Fruit of Yongsheng, Wu Zhu was overjoyed:

"I would like to invite all of you to visit Heavenly Ruins Dao City for a while. Do you have the time?"

Guan Huan and Bai Yue looked at Ding Huan.

Ding Huan laughed heartily: "In that case, we shall trouble Daoist Wu."

Hearing Ding Huan's agreement, Wu Zhu was even more delighted.

He was quite aware of the precarious situation of his Heavenly Ruins Dao Court.

Publicly ranked fourth among the five Dao Courts,

He knew well that Heavenly Ruins Dao Court was actually in last place.

Even the Great Wheel Dao Court's strength surpassed his Heavenly Ruins Dao Court.

He had no sons, and his only daughter was of average talent, lacking emotional intelligence.

Despite piling up lots of cultivation resources, she had just reached the Divine King Realm.

This was even under his supervision; if left to her own devices, Wu Jie Na might have achieved even less.

The primary reason for vying for the Dao Scroll of Light this time was not his own need for it, but his desire to keep it from falling into Chen Chi's hands.

For many years his cultivation hadn't progressed; if Chen Chi advanced further, his next target would be to annex Heavenly Ruins Dao Court.

Wu Zhu wouldn't assume stability just because the five Dao Courts were formed.

In the past, Little Heavenly Ruins had only the Heavenly Ruins Dao Court, and yet now there were five Dao Courts.

Moreover, not long ago under the overwhelming power of Ding Huan and Guan Huan, the five Dao Courts lost the Qu's Dao Court.

Wu Zhu clearly understood that only the top ten commerce houses could ally with him, but unfortunately, which Alliance Hierarch of the top ten commerce houses wasn't a cunning person?

They simply weren't willing to get embroiled in this mess.

No matter the layout of Dao Courts in Little Heavenly Ruins, it wouldn't impede their growth.

In fact, the more chaotic Little Heavenly Ruins became, the better their business would be.

So, upon learning about the emergence of 'The Two Huan of Heavenly Ruins,' Wu Zhu immediately thought of establishing a rapport with them.

Ideally, to cooperate.

The group bonded with mutual goodwill, chatting along the way as they safely walked out of Tianyuan Tao City.

Chen Chi, having left the auction as well, waited nearby for Chang Yun to take action.

To his anger, coward Chang Yun didn't act bravely.

He watched Ding Huan and his group step out of the big array of Tianyuan Tao City without a word from Chang Yun.

Chen Chi knew why Chang Yun didn't dare move, and it was because of Wu Zhu's inclusion.

But didn't he have anyone joining him?

As soon as Ding Huan's group got trapped in Tianyuan Tao City, the three major commerce houses might intervene.

Chang Yun, that cowardly dog, had taken the Fourth Step?

Pah!

In his heart, Chen Chi cursed Chang Yun profusely.

Yet he himself didn't dare to make a move either.
