Chapter 247: Slaying a Human Immortal
Ding Huan was momentarily stunned.
What was going on here?
But he didn’t have time to think too much.
His Farewell Spear had already taken advantage of the situation and pierced through Shi Jiantian’s forehead.
“You’re just a False God…” Shi Jiantian’s aura weakened, and his eyes were filled with unwillingness.
He never expected that he would be ambushed by a mere False God.
Fortunately, he didn’t know that Ding Huan was still far from being a False God.
Otherwise, he might have been even more devastated.
His primordial spirit began to seep out, preparing to escape.
Earlier, when Liu Yinyu was here, his primordial spirit had no chance to flee.
Now that Liu Yinyu was gone, a mere False God shouldn’t be able to stop his primordial spirit.
But just as his primordial spirit began to emerge, it was caught by Ding Huan’s divine sense technique, the Yellow Flower Kill.
Shi Jiantian’s primordial spirit let out a shrill scream.
Hearing this scream, Liu Yinyu, who was already nearing the foot of the mountain, sped up her escape even more.
After killing Shi Jiantian, Ding Huan sensed Liu Yinyu’s speed increasing rapidly.
He finally understood what was going on.
It seemed this woman thought he was the cunning one, lurking in the shadows like a mantis stalking a cicada, waiting to strike at the last moment when the treasure appeared.
She must have thought he was a scheming villain, hiding all this time and only making his move when the treasure was in sight, using the opportunity to ambush Shi Jiantian.
While he was busy killing Shi Jiantian, Liu Yinyu took the chance to flee.
Ding Huan couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
This was the thanks he got for being a good guy.
The person he saved was running away faster than Shi Jiantian had.
Well, it was for the best.
If he had saved a Human Immortal and that person turned out to be ungrateful and tried to kill him to silence him, then it would have been him running for his life.
By the way, the name Liu Yinyu sounded quite similar to Liu Yinzhu.
I wonder if there’s any connection.
Ding Huan collected Shi Jiantian’s storage ring and then grabbed the jade box in his hand.
Earlier, it was this jade box that had caused Shi Jiantian to chase Liu Yinyu.
Liu Yinyu had only been willing to take out the jade box when she was on the verge of death, and even then, she had intended to use it to fight Shi Jiantian to the death.
Ding Huan had no idea what was inside the jade box.
The jade box had a divine sense restriction, but Ding Huan simply opened it directly.
When he saw that the jade box contained only a single array flag, he was completely baffled.
Was a mere array flag really worth storing in a jade box and sealing with a restriction?
Ding Huan casually tossed the array flag and the jade box into his Star House.
He now had plenty of storage devices, with several rings larger than the Star House.
Apart from the large spatial ring on his hand, Ding Huan was also using the Star House.
Shi Jiantian, after all, was a Human Immortal cultivator.
The restriction on his ring was a sixth-level restriction.
Since Shi Jiantian was already dead, it only took Ding Huan, a sixth-level array master, half a day to break the restriction on the ring.
When he saw the massive space inside the ring and the piles of treasures, Ding Huan couldn’t help but sigh.
The higher one’s cultivation, the wealthier they became.
This was the first time he had seen a top-grade spirit vein, and it was a complete one at that.
There were also two upper-grade spirit veins and over a hundred million upper-grade spirit stones.
In addition, there were ten top-grade spirit stones.
Not only was this the first time Ding Huan had seen a top-grade spirit vein, but it was also the first time he had seen top-grade spirit stones.
He had no idea where Shi Jiantian had gotten so many good things.
Apart from these, there were mountains of spirit herbs, materials, magical treasures, and pills.
There were even two top-grade spirit artifacts for flying.
Ding Huan was ecstatic.
He couldn’t wait to take out Qi Long’s ring and remove its restriction.
The contents of Qi Long’s ring were much fewer, but there was still a decent upper-grade spirit vein.
As for spirit stones and spirit herbs, they were far inferior to Shi Jiantian’s collection.
However, when Ding Huan pulled out a starry sky spirit vein from Qi Long’s ring, he clenched his fist in excitement.
While the items in Qi Long’s ring were indeed far inferior to those of the Human Immortal Shi Jiantian, this single starry sky spirit vein was enough to make him rich.
He needed to take this starry sky spirit vein to the Hidden Sword Mountain for cultivation as soon as possible.
…
“Sect Master…” As soon as Ding Huan returned to the sect, he saw Liu Yinzhu, who looked anxious and uneasy.
At this moment, Liu Yinzhu was standing at the entrance of the sect, as if she was still on guard against something.
“Sister Yinzhu, why are you standing here?” Ding Huan asked, puzzled.
Seeing Ding Huan, Liu Yinzhu finally relaxed a little and said urgently, “Sect Master, you didn’t see it. Not long ago, two powerful experts—I suspect they were beyond the True God realm, possibly Human Immortals—were fighting right outside our sect…”
Ding Huan thought to himself, *No need to suspect, they were definitely two Human Immortals.*
“The aftershocks of their attacks nearly tore apart our sect’s protective array. I was worried they would enter our Blue Star Sect and destroy it.”
At this point, Liu Yinzhu calmed down a bit.
Such worries were unnecessary.
If those experts wanted to destroy the Blue Star Sect, her standing here would be meaningless.
Sometimes, concern leads to confusion.
“Sister Yinzhu, the matter is over. Don’t worry. Focus on your cultivation and strive to reach the Starry Sky realm as soon as possible,” Ding Huan comforted her.
Then he thought of Liu Yinyu and casually asked, “Sister Yinzhu, do you have any sisters?”
Liu Yinzhu was startled for a moment, then shook her head. “No, I’ve always been alone. Why do you ask?”
“It’s nothing, just a casual question. By the way, I’ll be leaving the sect for a while. If anything happens, just send me a message. For minor matters, you can make the decisions yourself. You don’t have to wait for me to return.”
After saying this, Ding Huan took out a communication pearl.
He had never been very accustomed to using communication pearls, but now he realized how inconvenient it was without one.
“Is this a seventh-level communication pearl?” Liu Yinzhu asked in surprise as soon as she received it.
Communication pearls were graded.
Ordinary communication pearls couldn’t receive messages beyond a certain range.
This was related to the cultivation level of the person who refined the pearl.
Seventh-level communication pearls were usually owned by experts from the Ascension Realm.
In the Dao Cultivation Realm, unless in special areas, messages could generally be received.
This was why Liu Yinzhu was so surprised that Ding Huan had a seventh-level communication pearl.
“Oh, a friend gave it to me,” Ding Huan said casually.
In truth, this communication pearl was one of the twelve he had looted from the Human Immortal Shi Jiantian.
As for lower-level communication pearls, he had a bunch of them, but Ding Huan didn’t care for them.
…
After Liu Yinzhu went back to cultivate with peace of mind, Ding Huan began to reinforce the sect’s protective array.
He hadn’t yet reached the level of a seventh-level Array King, but his array skills were already close to it.
After strengthening the sect’s defensive and killing arrays, Ding Huan set up a teleportation array within the sect.
This teleportation array would lead to the Hidden Sword Mountain.
Once he arrived at the Hidden Sword Mountain, he would set up the corresponding array there.
This way, he could return to the sect at any time.
Moreover, in the future, sect disciples could also use the array to travel to the Hidden Sword Mountain for training.
Before heading to the Hidden Sword Mountain, Ding Huan returned to the Purple Garden Heavy Mountain.
When Shi Jiantian and Liu Yinyu had passed through the Purple Garden Heavy Mountain, they had almost killed everyone training there.
This saved Ding Huan the trouble of having to deal with the people inside.
Using his divine sense to scan the Purple Garden Heavy Mountain, he found that the few remaining cultivators had already fled.
He began to set up a protective array.
One by one, array flags were placed by Ding Huan.
Finally, Shi Jiantian’s pair of meteor hammers were used as the core of the array in the Purple Garden Heavy Mountain.
To make the defensive and killing arrays of the Purple Garden Heavy Mountain even stronger, Ding Huan implanted a mid-grade spirit vein.
Two days later, Ding Huan completed the array.
As the sound of spatial compression echoed, the protective array of the Purple Garden Heavy Mountain activated.
The mountain disappeared from view, replaced by a misty haze.
Within this haze was Ding Huan’s top-tier sixth-level killing array.
Even a False God cultivator, if they didn’t understand arrays, would find it difficult to escape.
With peace of mind, Ding Huan set off for the Hidden Sword Mountain.
Meanwhile, in the central building of Purple Garden City, the Purple Garden Heavy Tower, the atmosphere was tense.
Purple Garden City was jointly established by the True Essence Dao City, the Moonlight Sect, the Nine Sound Sect, the Cultivation Commerce Guild, and the Five Pill Dao Sect.
The Purple Garden Heavy Tower was the heart of the city.
Not only was the city lord’s residence located here, but the mission hall, commercial buildings, and council hall were also here.
In the spacious and grand council hall of the Purple Garden Heavy Tower, only four people were seated.
The leader was a middle-aged man of short stature who appeared very amiable.
However, those who knew him understood that he was anything but kind.
This man was Lu Yuan, the first chairman of the Cultivation Commerce Guild, a man who had killed countless people.
The number of people who had died at his hands was beyond counting.
It was said that after reaching the False God realm, he had begun to restrain himself.
Before reaching the False God realm, he could kill you and all your companions just because of a single look.
Apart from Lu Yuan, the other three were Qiu Kujin, the deputy city lord of True Essence Dao City; He Quan, the sect master of the Moonlight Sect; and Wu Changgong of the Five Pill Dao Sect.
Wu Changgong’s cultivation was only at the early Yuan Soul stage, but his alchemy skills were extraordinary.
He was the publicly recognized top alchemist in the Dao Cultivation Realm, capable of refining sixth-level spirit pills.
Normally, Wu Changgong wouldn’t care for ordinary items.
The reason he was willing to join the division of interests in the Purple Garden Heavy Mountain was because of a unique item found there—the Purple Garden Heavy Mushroom.
This item was priceless and couldn’t be found anywhere else.
Wu Changgong’s sole purpose for being here was the Purple Garden Heavy Mushroom.
As for Qiu Kujin, he looked like a barrel, with eyes almost invisible, resembling a large ball of flesh.
Originally, the city lord of True Essence Dao City, Mo Zheng, was supposed to attend this meeting.
However, due to the recent opening of the Ascension Realm’s Heavenly Battlefield, Mo Zheng hadn’t had the time to come.
As for the Moonlight Sect, after Yi Wandao was killed, He Quan was merely a figurehead.
