MTLNOVEL Chapter 835: Everyone Has Their Own Agenda
Chang Yun chased out, while Chen Chi and Quan Qingcheng did not move.
Chen Chi was seriously injured; his real target was Ding Huan, not Guan Huan.
Quan Qingcheng was merely aiding the fight and didn't find it necessary to risk his life.
Besides, the one he wanted to kill was also Ding Huan.
Wu Zhu's face was unpleasant.
The strength of Meng Chuan far exceeded the ordinary Creation Dao Realm, and she had many methods.
The dozens of killing lights she shot at him were all illusory.
Since he didn't give his best and didn't want to get hurt, he instinctively dodged.
Now it allowed Meng Chuan to leave with Guan Huan and Bai Yue.
He had a hunch that this woman was not easy to deal with.
Chen Chi looked toward Quan Qingcheng and Wu Zhu: "Dao Lord Wu and Alliance Hierarch Quan, we should also give chase. Dao Lord Chang Yun might suffer if he's alone."
Wu Zhu brought out a Flying Treasure.
Quan Qingcheng also summoned his own Flying Treasure.
They were merely in a cooperative relationship; none trusted the others enough to enter another's Flying Treasure.
If there had been extreme trust between them, Meng Chuan wouldn't have taken Guan Huan and Bai Yue away.
Chen Chi said in a deep voice, "We should ride in one Flying Treasure; this way, we can look out for each other."
In fact, if each of them used a Flying Treasure to chase Guan Huan,
the chances would undoubtedly be greater,
because they could form a surrounding trend.
However, both Chen Chi and Quan Qingcheng, or even Chang Yun knew well that Guan Huan's strength surpassed each of theirs.
If Guan Huan used a strategy of dealing with each one separately, they would surely suffer losses.
If Guan Huan confronted Chen Chi first, it is very likely that he could be killed before the others gathered around.
...
Ding Huan stopped cultivation, startled by the noise of Qin Qin's cultivation.
From the Great Dao Rhythms and the changes in the Space Law around Qin Qin, Ding Huan knew Qin Qin was proving the Great Dao for the second step.
It seemed that Qin Qin's proving the second step was just a matter of time.
Ding Huan felt his own cultivation speed was too slow in comparison.
To become a Nine Transformations Saint, he had to continue perfecting his Law Star River.
Next, he should focus on perfecting the Destruction Law Star River and Wind and Thunder Attribute Law Star River.
This would cause a massive increase in his combat strength.
At that moment, his Communication Bead flickered.
The message was from Guan Huan, who only said one thing: "Chen Chi has arrived at Tao City of Heavenly Ruins."
Seeing this message, Ding Huan knew things were not good.
Since Chen Chi had gone to Tao City of Heavenly Ruins, it indicated one thing.
Chen Chi and Chang Yun were likely joining forces and would definitely offer conditions that would tempt Wu Zhu.
Moreover, it was likely that Zuo Qiong had allied with them. Otherwise, Chen Chi wouldn't dare to venture into Tao City of Heavenly Ruins, where Wu Zhu could choose to ally with Zuo Qiong.
If it were someone else, Ding Huan wouldn't mind.
After all, since they had formed an alliance, they wouldn't be easily swayed by the enemy's terms.
But Ding Huan sensed that Wu Zhu wasn't someone who would share life and death with allies.
He engaged with them for a single purpose: benefits.
Once the benefits of allying with Chen Chi and the others outweighed those with them, Wu Zhu would betray without hesitation.
Ding Huan immediately rushed out of the Ice Prison; he had to quickly go and meet Guan Huan and Bai Yue.
Before Ding Huan had even exited the Heavenly Abyss, he received another message: "We're preparing to leave Tao City of Heavenly Ruins."
Seeing this message, Ding Huan refrained from crushing the Teleportation Talisman.
If Guan Huan and the others had left Tao City of Heavenly Ruins and he now crushed the Teleportation Talisman,
he would be directly transported outside of Tao City of Heavenly Ruins.
Sure enough, after rushing out of Tian Huan Palace, Ding Huan received a message from Guan Huan.
In the message, Guan Huan indicated that they were intercepted outside of Tao City of Heavenly Ruins, and now both he and Bai Yue were seriously injured, heading toward Tian Huan Palace.
Ding Huan felt their direction via the Communication Bead.
He summoned the Cosmic Pot and rushed out.
In just over an hour, Ding Huan felt the location of Guan Huan changing constantly.
No need to ask; Ding Huan knew they were being pursued.
At this moment, the Cosmic Pot was moving at its fastest speed.
Fortunately, Guan Huan was in the lead in fleeing, and his Flying Treasure wasn't lacking, preventing them from being caught easily in the short term.
But continuing like this wouldn't work.
No matter how good Guan Huan's Flying Treasure was, it probably wasn't at the Innate Level.
Even Ding Huan couldn't help but complain about Guan Huan; what was this guy doing?
He had cultivated to the Creation Saint Realm and hadn't even secured a decent Flying Treasure.
Ding Huan halted the Cosmic Pot.
If he continued like this, he probably wouldn't reach Guan Huan and the others before Guan Huan was intercepted.
Decisively storing away the Cosmic Pot, Ding Huan activated the Teleportation Talisman.
The teleportation Dao Rhythms encapsulated Ding Huan's space, taking him away.
When Ding Huan landed, he was outside Tao City of Heavenly Ruins.
There were no strong individuals in Tao City of Heavenly Ruins, not even Wu Zhu.
Obviously, these people were all pursuing Guan Huan.
Gazing at the imposing Tao City of Heavenly Ruins in the distance, Ding Huan's heart was filled with gnashing hatred.
If it weren't for needing to meet Guan Huan, he would have razed this place to the ground.
Once more, he summoned the Cosmic Pot, and sure enough, Guan Huan was closer.
The Cosmic Pot was fully activated, rushing towards Guan Huan's position.
Meanwhile, he activated the Dao Rhythm of the Communication Bead to let Guan Huan sense his location.
...
Guan Huan sensed Ding Huan's location through the Communication Bead seemed to suddenly appear at the rear, and instantly he understood.
Ding Huan used the Teleportation Talisman; he must have departed from the Tao City of Heavenly Ruins.
So Guan Huan controlled the Flying Treasure to make a big circle.
"Guan Dao You, are you returning?" Meng Chuan immediately noticed Guan Huan's actions and looked at him warily.
Guan Huan thought to himself that this woman was really too clever.
He did not hide the truth from Meng Chuan, after all, both he and Bai Yue had been saved by Meng Chuan.
Meng Chuan not only saved Bai Yue but also brought Bai Yue's severed arm.
Otherwise, Bai Yue would find it even harder to prove Dao in the Derivation Realm.
"Meng Dao You, Brother Ding Huan has teleported from another location to outside Tao City of Heavenly Ruins; he's now coming from Tao City of Heavenly Ruins.
If we just meet up with Brother Ding Huan, it'll be all right."
Upon hearing Guan Huan's explanation, Meng Chuan sighed in relief.
She trusted Guan Huan's words.
Because Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot was the best Flying Treasure she'd ever seen, bar none.
Seeing Guan Huan actually made a circle and returned to Tao City of Heavenly Ruins.
Quan Qingcheng was uncertain: "What does Guan Huan mean by this?"
Wu Zhu was startled, roughly understanding Guan Huan's intentions.
This was definitely Ding Huan using the Positioning Transmission Talisman he sent, returning to Tao City of Heavenly Ruins.
Guan Huan was going back to join up with Ding Huan.
But Wu Zhu didn't dare to voice this out.
He worried that if he spoke, Chen Chi and the others would blame him.
Anyway, whether he spoke or not, the impact wouldn't be much.
...
The moment Ding Huan's Divine Will swept past Guan Huan's spaceship, Guan Huan's spaceship had already appeared in front of the Cosmic Pot.
"Brother Ding Huan."
Seeing Ding Huan, Guan Huan was overjoyed.
Even Meng Chuan was delighted.
They had indeed met Ding Huan.
Even though Ding Huan's cultivation was lower than theirs, Meng Chuan somehow had confidence in him—that Ding Huan could help them escape.
"Get on and we'll talk." Ding Huan signaled the three to board the Cosmic Pot, his Divine Will already discerning Chen Chi and others.
Besides Chen Chi, his Divine Will also detected Chang Yun, who was further back.
Originally, Ding Huan wanted to set some traps: a Big Array of Ten Thousand Poisons here, and then leveraging the Descent Law against these guys.
But obviously, there was not enough time.
Today those bastards get off easy.
Space trembled with waves of ripples, then suddenly vanished.
Chen Chi stopped his pursuit.
At Ding Huan's pace, they couldn't possibly catch up.
Quickly, Chang Yun, riding on a Flying Treasure, appeared before Chen Chi and others.
His heart was filled with frustration.
His Flying Treasure was of a higher grade than Guan Huan's. He had secretly bypassed to the front, planning to sandwich Guan Huan with Chen Chi and the others.
Yet Guan Huan unexpectedly looped around, rendering his efforts futile.
Wu Zhu's face was somewhat gloomy.
With Guan Huan escaping, the most regretful was him.
If Ding Huan and Guan Huan don't seek revenge, that would mean he was blind.
With Ding Huan's vengeful nature, how could he not find Tao City of Heavenly Ruins?
If Ding Huan were reasonable, the Qu's Dao Court wouldn't have been destroyed.
Why was Qu's Dao Court wiped out?
Isn't it because Qu Ge hunted Ding Huan?
His mistake was even bigger than Qu Ge hunting Ding Huan.
"Brother Wu, Brother Chen, we should head to Tian Huan Palace now." Chang Yun wished he could immediately devour Ding Huan and Guan Huan whole.
Quan Qingcheng said slowly, "The perimeter of Tian Huan Palace is completely delimited by Poison Dao Law, we can't enter."
"Even if we can't enter, we must find a way. Alliance Hierarch Quan, Ding Huan is petty, exterminating the Qu's Dao Court over small grievances; if we don't kill him now, we won't have peace in the future."
Chang Yun looked at Quan Qingcheng with a grave tone.
He was reminding Quan Qingcheng that the Great Wheel Dao Court had participated in the pursuit of Guan Huan. Now, there was only one path—to eliminate Ding Huan and Guan Huan.
Otherwise, the Great Wheel Commerce only leads to a dead end in the future.
Quan Qingcheng's face was gloomy.
He began to regret.
Regretting cooperation with Chang Yun, this troublemaker.
Originally, he thought it was a sure thing to eliminate Guan Huan in Tao City of Heavenly Ruins.
Yet unexpected things happened.
What made him regret even more was the Great Wheel Commerce was the only one taking the lead in dealing with Guan Huan.
Although Ji's Commerce and Ruins Star Commerce had also joined the alliance, they hadn't deployed anyone, and not even sworn a Dao vow in time.
Now that Guan Huan escaped, if they can't swiftly eliminate Guan Huan, these two stores might pull out midway.
Chen Chi understood; now should be their prime opportunity to eliminate Guan Huan and Ding Huan. Once Ding Huan grows, they would only await endless retaliation.
"Let's go to Tian Huan Palace." He promptly agreed with Chang Yun.
"Going to Tian Huan Palace doesn't require Flying Treasures. I have a method, we'll directly teleport over, then ambush them outside Tian Huan Palace.
Also, inform Zuo Qiong and the other two great commerces. Since it's a joint effort, everyone should act together; there's no reason to reap the benefits without effort."
Chang Yun clenched his fists.
His injuries weren't as severe as Chen Chi's, but his frustration was greater than anyone's.
Guan Huan had been pinned outside the Abyss of Tao City for thousand years, while he made significant progress, yet he was still no match for Guan Huan, such vexation.
