Chapter 229: You’ve Disappointed Me
They had indeed arrived.
Swords and flying ships were continuously approaching this place.
Many people knew that, on the surface, this place was compensation given by the Alliance Leader Hu to the three major sects.
After arriving, they merely observed.
Of course, what each person was truly thinking in their hearts, no one could know.
"Everyone, listen to my command. We will attack with full force at the same time!" Yi Wandao roared, his Lianyue Halberd being the first to be unleashed.
At the same time, he sent a voice transmission to Qin Yanxiao: "Sect Leader Qin, we can’t hold back any longer. If we do, we might not be able to break through even in a few days."
Without needing Yi Wandao’s reminder, Qin Yanxiao had no intention of holding back either.
Dozens of magical treasures were simultaneously unleashed, smashing into the protective formation of Zixia Valley.
"Crack!" A splitting sound was heard.
Both Qin Yanxiao and Yi Wandao looked at the crack with joy.
They had succeeded this time, breaking through the sect’s gate with just one strike.
"Hahaha…" Hong Tiao, the sect leader of the Beast Taming Sect, let out a wild laugh.
But his laughter stopped abruptly.
Not only him, but even Yi Wandao of the Yanyue Sect and Qin Yanxiao of the Twin Soul Sect were stunned by the scene before them.
In front of them was another protective formation, and above it floated three massive golden characters: Blue Star Sect.
Ding Huan stood at the entrance of the sect with dozens of people, coldly staring at Qin Yanxiao and the others.
"You’ve broken my sect’s protective formation without reason. Do you think you’re so powerful that you can ignore the rules of the Dao Cultivation World’s Sect Alliance?"
"Where did this arrogant brat come from? Occupying Zixia Valley’s territory and hanging up a sect sign—does that make it a new sect?" Hong Tiao sneered.
He wasn’t entirely wrong.
In the Dao Cultivation World, establishing a sect wasn’t as simple as hanging up a sign.
It required recognition from the Sect Alliance before one could officially establish a sect.
"That wretched woman, she’s indeed hiding here."
Yi Wandao didn’t even spare Ding Huan a glance.
His eyes immediately fell on Guan Wan.
If he didn’t make Guan Wan regret ever being born, he wouldn’t be Yi Wandao, the sect leader of Yanyue Sect.
"Disciples of Yanyue Sect, follow me!" Yi Wandao shouted, charging into the Blue Star Sect.
It wasn’t that he was careless, but he truly didn’t see Ding Huan and his people as a threat.
In his eyes, the protective formation outside Zixia Valley had been set up by someone from the Ascension Realm.
Whether there was a protective formation inside the Blue Star Sect wasn’t even a consideration for him.
Even if Gu Mo stood before him, he would still dare to teach Guan Wan a lesson.
Seeing the disciples of Yanyue Sect follow Yi Wandao in a rush, Qin Yanxiao didn’t hesitate for a moment.
She didn’t even bother speaking and charged in as well.
This was the time to seize Zixia Valley’s territory and resources.
Why let Yanyue Sect take all the spoils? The others, including Hong Tiao, all swarmed in.
The cultivators watching from afar couldn’t help but feel envious.
Some even thought to themselves, why didn’t Ding Huan kill one of his own sect’s disciples? If he did, they could also rush in and grab some treasures.
Yi Wandao was heading straight for Guan Wan.
When he was still a dozen meters away from her, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
The surrounding space shifted, transforming into a hazy scene of slaughter.
Although the killing intent hadn’t fully activated yet, Yi Wandao could already feel his soul trembling.
This was definitely not a fifth-grade killing formation—it was a true sixth-grade killing formation.
Zixia Valley had a sixth-grade formation master.
As a Soul Formation cultivator, even a fourth-grade killing formation could trap him for a long time.
A fifth-grade formation could easily kill him with the controller’s assistance.
Facing a sixth-grade killing formation, the person who set it up might not even need to lift a finger to finish him off.
Yi Wandao frantically retreated.
"Pfft! Pfft!" Two blade lights shot from directions he never expected, piercing through his body and spraying blood.
Yi Wandao didn’t dare move.
If cutting off his own hands could undo this, he wouldn’t hesitate.
Suppressing his fear, he clasped his fists and said, "Sect Leader Ding, this was my mistake. I am willing to offer the greatest compensation on behalf of Yanyue Sect to the Blue Star Sect."
"Oh? How much are you willing to compensate?" Ding Huan’s voice suddenly appeared.
Yi Wandao saw Ding Huan walking into the killing formation, standing face-to-face with him.
Seeing Ding Huan dare to enter the killing formation and face him directly, Yi Wandao suppressed his excitement.
He knew that if he could capture Ding Huan, he might actually make it out alive today.
Ding Huan was the sect leader of Blue Star Sect, and the person who set up this killing formation surely cared deeply for him.
"You only have one chance. If what you offer doesn’t satisfy me, I’ll kill you immediately," Ding Huan said indifferently.
"I am willing to compensate with ten top-grade spirit veins…" As soon as Yi Wandao finished speaking, his figure suddenly flashed, appearing beside Ding Huan in an instant.
His hand shot out, aiming for Ding Huan’s neck.
But just as his hand extended, a terrifying killing intent swept over him.
A barrage of spear lights appeared before his eyes, converging and shooting toward his brow.
The killing intent locked the space around him, rendering him immobile.
Yi Wandao let out a furious roar, his true essence exploding wildly.
The next moment, the space locking his body shattered.
Yi Wandao retreated desperately, relieved that no killing lights had shot out from the formation during his retreat.
But before he could steady himself, the spear lights surged again, and the killing intent in the space once more gathered around him.
Yi Wandao no longer dared to think of anything else.
His Lianyue Halberd exploded into countless halberd shadows.
"Boom!" The spear and halberd collided, the halberd shadows shattered, and the spear lights dispersed.
Ding Huan stood before Yi Wandao once more, holding the Farewell Spear.
He spoke with disappointment, "I deliberately stopped the killing formation to see how powerful a Soul Formation cultivator like you could be. But you’ve disappointed me. Have you been wasting all these years?"
Ding Huan was truly disappointed.
Even without the killing formation, he could still kill Yi Wandao without much effort.
"You… are at the Soul Formation realm?" Yi Wandao’s face turned pale.
If he had known Ding Huan was at the Soul Formation realm, he would never have come here to make a move.
On the surface, he had come to kill Guan Wan and cleanse the shame of Yanyue Sect, but his true goal was Zixia Valley.
"Haha, is the Soul Formation realm something to boast about? Try taking another spear from me."
Ding Huan swung the Farewell Spear again, sending a wave of spear intent toward Yi Wandao.
Ding Huan was actually hoping for a couple of strong opponents.
That way, he might be able to learn the third spear technique of the Nine Divine Techniques.
Yi Wandao was clearly far from meeting his expectations.
"Sect Leader Ding, I am willing to offer compensation…" Despair filled Yi Wandao’s heart.
Even without the killing formation, he was no match for Ding Huan.
If Ding Huan activated the formation, he would only die faster.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Ding Huan tossed a crystal ball over.
"Write down the amount of compensation and the reason inside this. Like before, you only have one chance."
"Yes."
Yi Wandao quickly agreed, grabbing the crystal ball and loudly declaring, "I, Yi Wandao, as the sect leader of Yanyue Sect, attacked the protective formation of Blue Star Sect without understanding the full situation. Yanyue Sect is willing to compensate with one top-grade spirit vein, two mid-grade spirit veins, and ten low-grade spirit veins. Additionally, fifty million top-grade spirit stones, one thousand third-grade spirit herbs, one hundred fourth-grade spirit herbs, and one fifth-grade spirit herb. This crystal recording is voluntarily left by me, Yi Wandao, with no objections."
After recording his message, Yi Wandao tossed the crystal ball back to Ding Huan.
"Sect Leader Ding, I will prepare the compensation for your sect as soon as I return. Earlier, I lied about the ten top-grade spirit veins. Our sect only has one top-grade spirit vein."
Ding Huan stored the crystal ball and said indifferently, "You’re overthinking it. Take another spear from me."
The Farewell Spear once again unleashed a barrage of spear shadows, enveloping Yi Wandao.
Yi Wandao was both shocked and furious.
"You’re breaking your promise?" His Lianyue Halberd swung out wildly.
At this moment, he was nearly insane.
He had never met someone as shameless as Ding Huan.
After accepting his compensation, Ding Huan should have let him go to his sect to collect the payment.
Instead, Ding Huan broke the norm and still wanted to kill him after accepting the compensation.
But Yi Wandao’s mind was in chaos.
His Lianyue Halberd was full of openings.
Ding Huan’s Farewell Spear easily tore through the halberd’s killing space, heading straight for Yi Wandao’s brow.
The aura of death seeped from his brow into the depths of his soul.
Yi Wandao suddenly woke up.
"Sect Leader Ding, you can’t kill me! I came here under the orders of Alliance Leader Hu Wuxin…"
"Pfft!" Blood sprayed as Yi Wandao’s head was torn apart by Ding Huan’s Farewell Spear before he could finish his sentence.
Ding Huan’s hand reached out, and Yi Wandao’s ring fell into his palm.
He had killed Yi Wandao without even using his full strength—his Yellow Flower Kill or the Nine Divine Techniques.
Outside, Liu Yinzhu and the others, who had been nervously watching the battle, suddenly heard Ding Huan’s voice.
"All those above the Star Cloud realm, enter the formation and kill the enemies. The spoils belong to you. Remember to carry your sect tokens when entering the formation."
"Brother Huan, I’m coming too!" Old Six’s excited voice rang out.
He had just stepped into the Star Cloud realm.
To reach this stage, he had traveled from Earth to here, enduring countless hardships.
Now, he had finally succeeded.
"Then get in and fight. What are you waiting for?" Ding Huan scolded, already standing before Qin Yanxiao, who was still trapped in the killing formation.
(That’s all for today’s update.
Goodnight, friends!)
