Chapter 668: Arresting Ding Huan in Person
"Wushang, go inquire first. Say that some human disciples are trapped by the protective array at the Great Star Wild Vein, and see if Mr. Huan can open the array to let these human disciples in.
If it works, then it proves my guess is correct. If it doesn't, it's no big deal."
Shu Ziche dared to claim that the Dao Xu Trade Association's investigation was accurate because he had people in the Heavenly Judgment Divine Alliance.
Moreover, he believed that Ding Huan did not deliberately hide, primarily because his flying treasure was too conspicuous.
Not only that, but the two women beside him were also very noticeable.
If Ding Huan really wanted to avoid the Dao Xu Trade Association's investigation, he wouldn't be so careless.
In his mind, Ding Huan merely wanted to hide for a while.
After this period, before the Dao Xu Trade Association could investigate him, he would appear and give the association trouble again.
Unexpectedly, Ding Huan himself did not anticipate that with the Unification God Ancestor, Mr. Huan, deploying the Big Array, the war between the human and divine races ended abruptly.
The end of the war between the human and divine races also gave the Dao Xu Trade Association time to investigate the robbing of the Dao Xu Trading Building.
...
"Finally reached Divine Monarch level eleven." Ding Huan sighed.
Within at most half a year, he must step into the World God realm.
If by that time he hasn't been discovered, then continue cultivation until Mo Changcan steps into the Divine King realm.
If found hiding in Li Yin Divine Valley, then start the battle.
The Dao Ruins Street appears to have mostly rebuilt the trading building. It's time for him and Mo Changcan to make a fortune.
Back then, when he was at the early Divine Monarch stage and Mo Changcan was at the late stage, they could take down a Divine King.
Once he steps into the World God realm, even if Mo Changcan hasn't reached the Divine King stage, they can disregard the Dao Xu Trade Association in the Dao Ruins.
Whether other sects would assist Dao Xu Trade Association against them, Ding Huan didn't care, as he knew they wouldn't.
Anyone in their right mind wouldn't help Dao Xu Trade Association against them.
They're barefoot, while the Dao Xu Trade Association wears shoes.
Who's afraid of whom?
Who dares to help the Dao Xu Trade Association, the next target of the robbery will be them.
"Is Master Huan Ancestor here? Xian Wushang from Li Yin Divine Valley and Shu Ziche from Seven God Dao Sect have come to visit." Outside the Great Star Peak came a clear voice.
Ding Huan's divine will scanned out and indeed, it was the two guys who previously opened the array with the array flag and went out.
Xian Wushang? Isn't he the sect master of Li Yin Divine Valley?
Calling him Mr. Huan shows they know Ding Huan is hiding in Li Yin Divine Valley.
But this is overly respectful, isn't it?
Two sect masters calling him Mr. Huan Ancestor?
However much Ding Huan racked his brains, he couldn't figure out why. Even if they saw his protective array, it didn't warrant such respect, did it?
Ding Huan did not answer; he hadn't figured out the situation yet.
Shu Ziche added, "Because our human's Unification God Ancestor, Mr. Huan, set up a seventh-level protective array at the Great Star Wild Vein, blocking the invasion of Divine Clan cultivators.
The First Divine King of the God clan, Gu Sen, was terrified and sent people to negotiate with the human race. The war between the two races has ended now.
Dao Xu Trade Association found that Mr. Ding is in Li Yin Divine Valley, and they will likely cause trouble here soon.
We came first to inform Mr. Ding about this, and secondly, we hope Mr. Ding can inform our human race's Unification God Ancestor that we are willing to listen to the Ancestor's guidance."
Ding Huan finally understood.
It turns out these two guys thought the divine race agreed to peace because the human race produced a Unification God Ancestor named Mr. Huan.
And this Unification God Ancestor is related to him, Ding Huan.
It makes sense since he scolded the God Race God King before, using the name Mr. Huan.
Thinking of this, Ding Huan said, "My master, Mr. Huan, has gone into seclusion for cultivation. You can tell me anything you want to relay to him."
Since they mistakenly believe there is a Unification God Ancestor in the human race, Ding Huan naturally wouldn't deny it. It's beneficial to him and the human race.
Shu Ziche quickly said, "Several of our human spies are now hiding at the edge of the array arranged by Huan Ancestor. I wish to request that Huan Ancestor open the array to let them return to our human territory."
Mr. Huan has advanced to Ancestor Huan.
This small favor?
Ding Huan immediately said, "Send a message to those people right away, telling them they can now pass through the protective array."
Yes, Sect Master Xian, my master instructed that I cultivate diligently in Li Yin Divine Valley. Request that the Dao Xu Trade Association not disturb my master, or he will be very upset."
"Mr. Ding, please relay to Ancestor Huan that we juniors will ensure this matter is handled correctly," Xian Wushang replied joyfully.
From Ding Huan's tone, his master, Mr. Huan, was quite close to him.
If something requires Mr. Huan's intervention, he only needs to ask Ding Huan to act.
Shu Ziche had already sent the message and, together with Xian Wushang, went to greet several human spies hiding among the Divine Clan.
In just one day, Shu Ziche saw two cultivators, covered in scars and withered, hurriedly rushing over.
"Qin Ben, it's so good that you're alive," Shu Ziche greeted excitedly.
The frail male cultivator excitedly shouted, "Master, I didn't think I'd survive and make it back. Just now, when we rushed over, that big array didn't react at all.
With such a big array, why should we humans fear an invasion from the divine clan?"
"Greetings, Master Shu." The man accompanying Qin Ben hurriedly paid his respects.
He was slightly chubbier than Qin Ben, but his injuries seemed more severe.
Qin Ben quickly said, "Master, Sect Master Xian. This is Ma Yi, also a human cultivator we met among the divine clan.
He had nowhere to go and had to help the divine clan. This time, he escaped secretly with me from the divine clan."
"Tell us, what's the deal with the Divine Clan Tree Ancestor? How much information have you obtained?" Shu Ziche had long wanted to know about the Divine Clan Tree Ancestor.
Now that Ding Huan, a disciple of Huan Ancestor, the Unification God Ancestor, is in Li Yin Divine Valley, he must investigate this thoroughly and inform Ding Huan.
Before Qin Ben could speak, Xian Wushang sighed, "Let's talk later. The people from Dao Ruins Trading Association and Heavenly Judgment Divine Alliance are already outside Li Yin Divine Valley. Let's go meet them."
He hadn't expected the people from the Dao Ruins Trading Association to arrive so quickly.
Initially, he planned to strategize, but now he had to discuss things face to face.
...
When Xian Wushang and Shu Ziche arrived at the entrance of Li Yin Divine Valley, three people were waiting.
But the expressions on the three faces were not pleasant.
Clearly, Li Yin Divine Valley didn't handle things well.
To leave them waiting outside the sect, could they not have been invited into the guest hall and offered tea?
Upon seeing Xian Wushang and Shu Ziche approach, the two in front immediately showed happy smiles.
As if they were not the ones who had been displeased earlier.
"Haha, I didn't expect Master Shu to be here too." The speaker was a short, stout man.
Standing beside him was a man with a face like purple bronze and an extraordinary aura.
Xian Wushang politely greeted, "It's the Golden Venerate God King from the Heavenly Judgment Divine Alliance and the Xingchen God King from Dao Ruins Trading Association. Sorry for not welcoming you sooner."
He wasn't overly courteous or enthusiastic, just offered a simple greeting.
Shu Ziche also returned the courtesy.
As for the World God from the Dao Ruins Trading Association standing behind the two God Kings, Xian Wushang and Shu Ziche directly ignored him.
The stout Golden Venerate God King sensed something was off with the two of them, so he straightened his face and said with a solemn tone:
"Sect Master Xian, you might not know this. Your Li Yin Divine Valley is harboring two fugitives wanted by the Divine World. If you don't quickly bring them to justice, your Li Yin Divine Valley will suffer greatly."
Xian Wushang frowned, showing an expression of complete ignorance: "Golden Venerate God King, my Li Yin Divine Valley has stood for a million years and cannot be intimidated by mere words."
Upon hearing this, not only was the Golden Venerate God King from the Heavenly Judgment Divine Alliance taken aback, but even the Xingchen God King from the Dao Ruins Trading Association was completely puzzled.
Why does Xian Wushang seem so agitated?
They were merely speaking normally, so what did Xian Wushang mean by this? When did they ever threaten him?
The Xingchen God King from the Dao Ruins Trading Association could only explain:
"Sect Master Xian, you should know Ding Huan, right? According to our investigation, he is hiding in Li Yin Divine Valley.
The one who brought him in is a cultivator named Chu Buqian. Because Chu Buqian has a sect token from Li Yin Divine Valley, he joined Li Yin Divine Valley..."
"Wait, Xingchen God King, did you say a sect token from Li Yin Divine Valley was found?"
Xian Wushang interrupted the Xingchen God King in amazement.
It seemed that in his eyes, that sect token was more valuable than Ding Huan.
The Xingchen God King could only cough once: "That's right, Chu Buqian joined Li Yin Divine Valley with the sect token.
Before joining Li Yin Divine Valley, they even killed the City Lord Ju Qiongtian and Deputy City Lord Wei Wei'er of Qianlin Divine City, and extracted the divine spirit veins of Qianlin Divine City.
This is tantamount to trampling the face of the Heavenly Judgment Divine Alliance into the ground, and is recognized as a major crime by the Divine World."
Xian Wushang seriously cupped his fists:
"Thank you to the two God Kings for the information. I need to go back and investigate this. Rest assured, if the situation is confirmed true, my Li Yin Divine Valley will definitely prioritize the larger affairs of the Divine World."
Xian Wushang's words left both the Golden Venerate God King and the Xingchen God King dumbfounded.
What?
Just like that, the conversation was over?
They weren't even invited to enter the sect?
"Master Shu, perhaps you could say something. I'm afraid Sect Master Xian still thinks we're deceiving him, alas." The Golden Venerate God King looked at Shu Ziche.
Shu Ziche smiled slightly, "How could that be? Wushang would surely handle this matter appropriately. Furthermore, if Ding Huan is really here,
we can't act recklessly. I heard that Ding Huan and his friend even killed the Golden Venerate God King and the River Seal God King. If you two go after him, you might not be able to capture him, and instead alert him."
This response completely left the Golden Venerate God King baffled.
We are indeed two God Kings, but aren't you and Xian Wushang here as well? And with so many people in Li Yin Divine Valley, can't everyone work together?
(Good evening, fellow cultivators!
Lao Wu here thanks everyone for their suggestions and concerns. I've tried some of the remedies, and once I recover, I'll resume three chapters a day. Thank you again!)
