Chapter 171 I Don’t Want to Go the Same Way with You
Just as everyone was getting ready to leave, another figure rushed over.

Ding Huan saw the guy rushing towards him from afar and thought to himself that something was wrong.

"Elder Qu." Elder Liu of Zixia Valley has already greeted him.

Ding Huan could only curse his bad luck. If they had left earlier, this man named Qu would never have stayed here and would have rushed to the jungle on the opposite side.

Elder Liu's shout was equivalent to saving the bastard's life.

“Elder Liu, Elder Gu…” Elder Qu of the Shuanghun Sect suddenly woke up and quickly stopped.

Ding Huan despised this bastard in his heart. Elder Liu from Zixia Valley brought five or six disciples with him, but this guy just ran away by himself.

If one disciple had not escaped with the people from Zixia Valley, the Shuanghun Sect would have been completely wiped out.

A few elders wanted to chat, so everyone could only continue waiting.

"Does Elder Gu know what's going on?"

Elder Qu of the Twin Soul Sect had calmed down after his initial panic.

Gu Youchang sighed:
"I suspect we have encountered a high-level Hanba. We have always thought we were on the main road, but in fact we were deep in the forest. This place is the real main road."

Liu Yinzhu from Zixia Valley also understood this problem not long ago. She felt that it was really a stroke of luck that she was able to survive this time.

Qu Yueshan of the Shuanghun Sect actually hasn't fully awakened yet. He was in the forest before Gu Youchang said it, and he has only returned to the road now that he truly understands.

After looking around, Qu Yueshan breathed a sigh of relief and then said:

"It turned out to be Hanba's phantom poison. What a close call..."

At this point, he seemed to remember something, and immediately walked up to Ding Huan and shouted:
"You are just a little cook. You knew we were in the mountains, but you didn't warn us directly. What are you thinking?"

Ding Huan looked at the guy in front of him in confusion. Is he an idiot?

"Are you crazy? Are you the elder or am I? I'm just a cook, and you want me to remind you? Sixth brother, step back."

Ding Huan would not tolerate this guy. He took several steps back after saying this.
If this guy dared to attack him, he would immediately flee to the jungle with Lao Liu.

Moreover, he was sure that neither Elder Gu Youchang nor Elder Liu Yinzhu would let this guy take action.

If these two people don't talk, then he will just walk as far away as possible.

"Looking for death..." Qu Yueshan was furious and was about to attack Ding Huan.

Gu Youchang's face turned cold:
"Qu Yueshan, it's not your turn to attack the people my Yanyue Sect has invited. Could it be that your Shuanghun Sect thinks you are very powerful and wants to go to war with my Yanyue Sect?"

Qu Yueshan paused, then looked at Gu Youchang with some confusion.

He was just a cook. To the cultivators in the Taoist world, not to mention that Qu Yueshan was an elder, even a newly-initiated disciple could easily beat and kill a cook.

"Elder Gu, what are you doing?" Qu Yueshan had preconceived ideas, and based on the usual practice, he wanted to teach Ding Huan a lesson.

Only after being stopped by Gu Youchang's shouting did he realize that this cook was not an ordinary cook.

That’s not right. Wasn’t it introduced before that Ding Huan was just an ordinary cook?

Liu Yinzhu also frowned and said:
"We can stand here and talk, and Fellow Daoist Ding has made a great contribution. Elder Qu's words just now are too much."

Deacon Qiong didn't want to cause a quarrel between Yanyue Sect and Shuanghun Sect because of a cook named Ding Huan, so he quickly stepped forward to interrupt and said:

"These are just some minor misunderstandings. Let's hurry on. This place is always unsettling."

Ding Huan glanced at this Qiong deacon. This guy was also an ungrateful person. He gave him a Ningxing bamboo, but he didn't show any favor to him at all. This made him more determined to take the Ningxing bamboo back.

"Fellow Daoist Ding, how about we hurry on?"

Deacon Qiong wanted to play nice with both sides, so after pacifying Elder Qu, even though he knew he had to hurry on his journey, he still took the initiative to ask Ding Huan.

Qu Yueshan glanced at Ding Huan and swore that as long as he left Dahe Canyon, the first person he would kill would be this ant cook in front of him.

Ding Huan clasped his fists towards Elder Gu and Elder Liu who were looking at him.

"Two elders, I don't really want to go with Elder Qu. I'm just a cook. If Elder Qu gets upset, I'm not enough for him to slap me."

Ding Huan had naturally long been aware of Qu Yueshan's murderous intent that could not be erased.

He sneered in his heart. This bastard asked him to lead the way out and wanted to kill him. He could only dream on.

Ever since he came out of the Four-Direction Star Continent, he had been begging for survival humbly. There was nothing he could do about it, after all, he needed someone to take him to the High-Level Civilized Star Continent.

Now these people not only want him to lead the way, but also want to kill him. He, Ding Huan, is not that despicable.

He could take action, and he would immediately rush into the jungle. He didn't dare to take the risk of walking with Qu Yueshan.

As soon as Ding Huan said this, both Elder Liu and Elder Gu looked at Ding Huan in surprise.

Is he really a cook who can say such reckless words?
Qu Yueshan's face turned blue with anger. If Elder Gu hadn't been here, he would have slapped Ding Huan to death. No, he absolutely couldn't let this little cook die so easily.

This time even Deacon Qiong looked unhappy.

Ding Huan did have merit, but for a cook to use this to threaten a sect elder, this was more than excessive. It was simply a mortal offending an immortal.

When he saw that Elder Gu had a calm expression, he was startled and immediately discarded his idea.

Regardless of whether Ding Huan is a cook or not, and regardless of whether his status is low or not, if Elder Gu stands on Ding Huan's side, then he, the deacon, has no right to speak.

Qu Yueshan felt a little aggrieved when he saw that Elder Gu and Elder Liu did not speak. Could it be that as an elder of a sect, he had to look at the face of a cook?

But thinking of Hanba, he could only swallow his anger.

If Ding Huan doesn't leave, he won't leave either.

This old guy is really thick-skinned.

Ding Huan could only say to Elder Gu:
"Elder Gu, let's go."

"Okay." Elder Gu ordered everyone to get up and set off without hesitation.

Seeing everyone setting off, Elder Qu also followed.

After walking for less than half an hour, Ding Huan stopped.

Ding Huan is now the leader. If he stops, everyone else will have to stop.

"Elder Qu, which way are you going?" Ding Huan asked Qu Yueshan of the Shuanghun Sect impolitely.

Qu Yueshan snorted coldly:
"What? Is this road yours? Only you can go there, but I can't? I'm going to go along this road, and you're not convinced?"

Ding Huan stretched out his hand:

"In that case, Elder Qu, please go ahead and let's take another route."

Everyone looked at Ding Huan in confusion. Change the road? There is only one road here, right? Should we change to the forest?
The reason why they encountered Hanba and were poisoned by the phantom poison just now was because they accidentally left the main road and entered the forest.

If Ding Huan knew that someone thought this way, then he would just laugh.

If you walk on the main road, you won't be poisoned by the phantom of Hanba. Then how did everyone get into the forest before?
"How dare a mere cook think he is so self-righteous."

Qu Yueshan snorted and walked forward.

No matter how unhappy he is or how thick-skinned he is, if he still swallows his anger after the cook Ding Huan has spoken out against him, then if this matter gets out, he will never show up in public again in the future.

Seeing Qu Yueshan leaving, Ding Huanzhen led the way into the forest.

"Fellow Daoist Ding, Elder Qu has to save face. We just need to walk slower. He will definitely not follow us."

Elder Liu Yinzhu of Zixia Valley couldn't help but say something.

Ding Huan smiled:
"Elder Liu, I was just speaking in anger. If Elder Qu really wants to go with us, I won't say anything. I am just a child in front of you. I occasionally say a few angry words. Please don't mind it, elders.

My sixth sense is to go from this place, and I don’t know why it is like this. I have always followed my hunch and basically never made any big mistakes. "

At this time, both Deacon Qiong and Han Weicheng and others had regained much consciousness from the phantom poison and could now distinguish between the main road and the forest.

Seeing Ding Huan walking into the forest again, as if he had done it on purpose to be angry with Elder Qu, they all hesitated.

"Fellow Daoist Ding, I should not be poisoned by the phantom poison now, right? Are we on the main road?" Deacon Qiong couldn't help but ask.

Ding Huan despised this guy very much. He took his things, but just because he was a cook, he sided with the elder of another sect.

Although he despised her in his heart, Ding Huan still hesitated and said:

"I don't know either. I just feel that this is the right direction to go. I can't guarantee whether it is right or not. Everyone should make their own choices. I think this kind of thing must be decided by oneself.

After all, I am just a cook, with mortal eyes, and if I make a mistake, I cannot bear the responsibility."

Everyone knew that Ding Huan went into the mountains most likely because he was angry with Elder Qu, but this kind of joke was not easy to make.

This kind of joke can be fatal if you are not careful.

Deacon Qiong decided not to follow Ding Huan into the mountains. What a joke! You, a cook, got angry with the elder. If you die, you die. Others don’t want to be like you.

Just as Ding Huan said, Ding Huan is just an ordinary cook and his life is worthless.

"I plan to go with Fellow Daoist Ding."

Elder Liu of Zixia Valley said without hesitation.

This made Deacon Qiong puzzled. Elder Liu Yinzhu of Zixia Valley actually planned to follow Ding Huan into the forest?
Han Weicheng didn't want to enter the forest again. He saw that Elder Liu of Zixia Valley recognized Ding Huan, so he hesitated.

"Elder Gu, where are you planning to go?" Han Weicheng couldn't help but ask Gu Youchang.

Gu Youchang laughed:
"I will naturally follow Fellow Daoist Ding, so I don't need to express my opinion. I will follow Fellow Daoist Ding's path."

"Then I will follow Fellow Daoist Ding."

Han Weicheng immediately changed his mind.

He didn't expect the accident to happen the first time, so if it happened again for the second time, he deserved it.

Seeing that Ding Huan had already turned into the forest, Deacon Qiong hesitated for a moment, but had no choice but to follow him.

It's impossible that everyone went to the forest and he was the only one to go to the main road? If the main road was safe, they wouldn't have been led to the forest before.

"Hmph, playing tricks." Qu Yueshan, who was far away, swept his divine sense across Ding Huan and his men into the forest, and snorted with disdain.

Ding Huan wanted to play this little trick in front of him. Would Qu Yueshan be so stupid as to follow Ding Huan into the forest?
