Chapter 680: Ambush
Ding Huan, who originally didn't pay much attention, was taken aback when he heard about the Five Elements World.
Could Cangqing really be the Qing he eliminated?
Although his face was expressionless, he observed Yuanqing's nonchalant gaze, and realized, does this old guy know something?
In just a fleeting moment, Ding Huan was certain that this old guy definitely knew something.
This Cangqing might very well be Qing, whose Five Elements World was destroyed by him, and then he absorbed the Five Elements Qi to upgrade his own Five Elements World.
What is Hollow Willow?
Could it be that tree in the Five Elements World?
But that tree barely survives in his world, and it doesn't seem very lively.
Ding Huan kept thinking about when Yuanqing would find out that he killed Qing and deprived Qing's Five Elements World of the Five Elements Qi.
Yuanqing continued as if he knew nothing, saying, "Shen Cuo is not an ordinary Unification God. If he finds out that Qi Yi was harmed by you, I fear..."
Ding Huan stood up, clasped his fists, and said, "Thank you, Alliance Leader Yuan, for the reminder. I know what to do now."
Yuanqing was also very pleased as he stood up. The two of them then left the small meeting room.
Both of them achieved their goals.
Ding Huan learned that Yuanqing wanted to form a good relationship with him, so he reminded him about Qing.
Yuanqing also understood that Ding Huan was aware of Qing's situation, so he sent this favor.
No matter what happens in the future, considering his reminder, Ding Huan would refrain from killing him.
Upon leaving the small meeting room, Ding Huan realized how Yuanqing knew about this matter.
Back then, Yuanqing visited the Li Yin Divine Valley, which must have been when he was overcoming tribulations to advance to World God.
When he advanced to World God and was refining his world, the Five Elements Qi of the Five Elements World was exposed.
He blamed himself; back then, while refining his world, he thought of integrating it with the Five Elements, so he tried to see if he could include the Five Elements World into his own world.
But he knew then that it couldn't work, so that's likely when it was exposed.
Only those familiar with Qing's Five Elements World would detect the exposed Five Elements Qi.
Yuanqing was clearly well-acquainted with Qing's Five Elements World.
"Ding Huan." Upon seeing Ding Huan come out, Mo Changcan immediately stood up.
"Changcan, let's go." Ding Huan gestured to Mo Changcan and directly walked out of the Council Hall.
There's no point in talking when discussions don't mesh well. Since that old guy Yuanqing doesn't want to act, he'll work with Mo Changcan alone.
"How did the conversation go?" Mo Changcan asked softly after leaving the Council Hall.
Ding Huan smiled and said, "That old guy is cautious and selfish, yet adept at self-preservation, even making me owe him a favor. Let's go, we'll first kill Qi Yi..."
As Ding Huan talked about Qi Yi, he scanned the area with his Divine Will, soon speechlessly covering his forehead.
Qi Yi had long been killed, lying dead just there. No one dared to collect his corpse, he's still sprawled across the wrecked Dao Ruins Street.
No need to ask; Ding Huan could tell it must have been Meng Danjian.
This kid is simply courting death.
He could kill Qi Yi because, even if Shen Cuo came, he could just escape to the Dao Ruins with Mo Changcan.
But Meng Danjian killing Qi Yi, isn't that just asking for trouble?
"Can't kill him; I already scanned, and Qi Yi was murdered by someone long ago," Mo Changcan said, somewhat annoyed.
His world was wrecked by others just like that.
"Forget it, the sect master's death of the Wan Dan Divine Sect may also be related to Qi Yi, it's unrealistic not to avenge a father's murder. Let's go to the Dao Ruins now..."
"Mr. Ding, Mr. Mo..."
Before Mo Changcan could speak, a voice came from behind them.
Ding Huan was puzzled to see that the visitor was Pu Zhijian, Master of Sword God Dock.
Ever since interacting with Yuanqing and his group, Pu Zhijian remained like an invisible person.
Aside from one sentence agreeing with his viewpoint earlier, he hadn't said much else.
What does this guy want from them now?
"So it is Master Pu. I wonder what guidance you have for us?" Ding Huan asked with a clenched fist.
Pu Zhijian quickly approached, raised his hand and cast several soundproof restrictions: "Mr. Ding, you and Mr. Mo are probably planning to go to the Dao Ruins, right?"
"Yes, I am indeed planning to make money at the Dao Ruins." Ding Huan nodded, not having anything to hide; it's true.
Pu Zhijian spoke earnestly, "I hope you can add me to the fortune-making endeavor."
Ding Huan was even more puzzled; does this guy know what they are going to do?
Without waiting for Ding Huan to speak, Pu Zhijian proactively explained, "If I'm not mistaken, you both are preparing to ambush the God Race God King at the Dao Ruins.
Yuanqing disagreed with your suggestion, but I agree, and I'm willing to join you."
Ding Huan thought to himself, indeed, these God Kings might not speak much, but they know everything deep down.
Pu Zhijian clearly knew his remark in the Council Hall against moving on the God Race God King was mere perfunctory talk.
They not only knew my words were insincere but also planned to join forces with them to take action together.
In that case, it's possible that Yuanqing also knows my words were insincere.
Just hoping this old fellow has some limits, if he tells Wudan or the Gods about my ambush.
The little favor I did just now might not be enough to save his life.
"Mr. Pu, if you're willing, we can enter Dao Ruins now," Ding Huan said without beating around the bush.
Many things are clear, and there's no need for more words.
"Alright, I also think we must enter now. If we wait a while, it's estimated the two God Kings of the God race will enter Dao Ruins, and Wudan will accompany them."
Pu Zhijian agreed.
Ding Huan and Mo Changcan, accompanied by Pu Zhijian, didn't even need to purchase entry array tokens and conveniently entered Dao Ruins.
Upon entering Dao Ruins, Ding Huan summoned the Cosmic Pot: "Come aboard and let's talk."
Pu Zhijian, surprisingly showing no apprehension, stepped onto Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot.
This added a hint of admiration to Mo Changcan.
One must know that with him and Ding Huan, along with the protecting array on the Cosmic Pot, killing Pu Zhijian would be a breeze.
The Cosmic Pot accelerated, its speed akin to teleportation.
Even Pu Zhijian couldn't help but marvel: "No wonder Mr. Ding could arrive at Dao Ruins Street before us; the speed of this flying treasure must be the best in the Divine World."
Ding Huan didn't respond to Pu Zhijian's words but instead asked, "Master Pu, you're with Yuanqing typically; why go against his wishes to join us this time?"
Pu Zhijian's expression turned serious: "Mr. Ding, I'm not anyone's person. I only run around for the Human Tribe. Many things aren't just about fighting hard like Sect Master Shu Ziche and Sect Master Xian Wushang.
Nor is it about preserving one's strength and maintaining peace temporarily like Alliance Leader Yuanqing.
'If they are not of our race, their hearts will be different,' so for the Human Tribe to survive in this land, the God race must be exterminated, and thoroughly so. Unfortunately, my strength is limited, and I can only mediate temporarily.
If I'm not mistaken, the God race sending their God Kings into Dao Ruins might be to bring resources to the Divine Clan Tree Ancestor.
Once these resources are handed to the Tree Ancestor, allowing the God race's Tree Ancestor to restore power and break out of Dao Ruins, our Human Tribe would be truly done for.
I'm sure Mr. Ding isn't someone who drifts along and I'm certain Mr. Ding will take action against the God race's God Kings in Dao Ruins, so I'm willing to join and lend you a hand."
Ding Huan nodded; it seemed Pu Zhijian had a clear understanding of the Human and God races' conflict.
Pu Zhijian also saw things clearly, but he knew saying anything was useless.
He couldn't be bothered with talking needlessly.
This time, seeing him and Mo Changcan ready for action, he decided to step in and help.
"Haha, I like Master Pu's demeanor. When you kill a God King later, I'll help you open the God King's world," Mo Changcan laughed heartily, his tone filled with anticipation.
He just wanted to open another God King's world.
This time Pu Zhijian was astonished: "Mr. Mo, you can open a God King's world?"
Mo Changcan nonchalantly waved a hand: "Just a trivial world, I don't mind at all. By then, Master Pu can just watch my means."
Pu Zhijian saluted solemnly.
A God King is not uncommon, nor is killing a God King.
But a cultivator who can open a God King's world is extremely rare.
It requires an extremely profound understanding of fundamental laws and space laws, otherwise how could you know the opponent's Dao principles?
Without knowing the opponent's Dao principles, how can you open their world?
This shows that Mo Changcan's Great Dao is far superior to his, and it seems he needs to have more dealings with Mo Changcan.
In just half a day, the Cosmic Pot stopped.
"Here..." After getting off the Cosmic Pot, Pu Zhijian immediately recognized this place.
From the entrance of Dao Ruins to here, even for him, it would take at least ten days, yet Ding Huan got there in just half a day, this speed...
"Master Pu, I'm certain the God race's God Kings plan to enter Dao Ruins from here to get into that stone courtyard. If the Divine Clan's Tree Ancestor truly exists, it must be in that stone courtyard.
We'll lie in wait here, and when the God race comes, we'll take action."
Upon hearing Ding Huan's words, Pu Zhijian responded immediately: "Mr. Ding, you plan to set up a trapping array?"
"Yes, I plan to set a trapping array here and catch those guys all at once."
"That might not be possible; among the people coming this time is the God race's God King Qian Ye, who is a top-level sixth-grade Divine Array Master."
Ding Huan waved a hand dismissively: "No need to worry, just a mere sixth-grade Divine Array Master, it's nothing."
As he spoke, Ding Huan grabbed and threw out array flags.
Hearing what Ding Huan said and watching his array setup techniques, Pu Zhijian fully realized: "Mr. Ding, it turns out you are Mr. Huan..."
Ding Huan had no intention of hiding anymore, given what he said.
"That's right, I'm the Unification God Ancestor Mr. Huan they speak of in the Divine Race," Ding Huan laughed heartily.
Mo Changcan also laughed heartily: "And I'm Ancestor Mo."
(Goodnight, fellow Taoist!)
