Chapter 177: Be the Sixth
After saying this, Ding Huan clasped his fists towards Elder Gu and Elder Liu:

"Elder Gu, Elder Liu, thank you for your care along the way. I will take my leave now."

Neither Gu Youchang nor Liu Yinzhu regarded Ding Huan as a real cook. Now that Ding Huan was about to leave, the two of them hurriedly expressed their politeness.

Han Weiben originally wanted to go up and say goodbye to Ding Huan, but when he thought that Ding Huan would not live long, he was too lazy to come up.

He came up to say goodbye to Ding Huan and offended Deacon Qiong.

Ding Huan took Lao Liu and changed direction and quickly left.

"Brother Ding, let me go with you." Yan Mei hurriedly followed.

Yan Mei is a newly recruited disciple of the Twin Soul Sect, and there is no one else in the Twin Soul Sect now.

Yan Mei had been able to get along well with Ding Huan along the way and they had a very good relationship. Naturally, no one would care if he went to look for Ding Huan now.

A group of new disciples boarded Elder Gu's spaceship, and at this moment Elder Liu also summoned out his spaceship.

Dong Qiong did not board Elder Gu's spaceship, but instead sacrificed his own spaceship.

"Master, I saw that Deacon Qiong didn't seem to get on Elder Gu's spaceship. Could he be going after Ding Huan?"

Mo Huanping couldn't help but ask on the spaceship.

Liu Yinzhu snorted:
"Then Dong Qiong is definitely going to hunt down Ding Huan. Haha, he is the deacon of Yanyue Sect, so short-sighted."

Mo Huaping sighed:
"Well, although Ding Huan has a bad temper, he is quite capable. He is also a man who knows what is important and what is not. I didn't expect that he would lose his life for a Ningxing bamboo.

He is a person of poor aptitude, and he will never be able to refine Qi and transform into a spirit in his lifetime, nor will he be able to use this Star Condensing Bamboo. Why would he risk his life for a spiritual medicine?"

Liu Yinzhu said lightly:
"Do you think Ding Huan will be killed by Dong Qiong?"

Mo Huaping nodded affirmatively:

"Yes, Ding Huan has just entered the initial stage of refining essence into qi. With his strength, he may not even be able to survive for a breath in front of Dong Qiong."

Liu Yinzhu hehe:
"If even Dong Qiong can kill Ding Huan, then I am blind."

"Ah, Master, why? Dong Qiong's strength can easily crush Ding Huan."

Liu Yinzhu shook her head:
"Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have the power? Then do you know how Ji Xinting, the strongest person in the Ascension Realm and the leader of the Wilderness God Sect, died? Wasn't he killed by someone?

I don’t know how Ding Huan escaped, but I am sure that Dong Qiong alone cannot kill Ding Huan.”

If Ding Huan wasn't too scary, she would have wanted to go back and recommend Ding Huan to join Zixia Valley. How could such a person be killed by Dong Qiong?
If Dong Qiong could kill Ding Huan, Qu Yueshan would have killed him long ago.

……

"Brother Ding, where are we going now? We don't know anything about the Taoist world."

Yan Mei, who was following behind Ding Huan, couldn't help but ask.

Ding Huan speeds up:

"Let's go through the Lost Swamp first."

"what……"

Yan Mei was shocked and said quickly, "Brother Ding, we just risked our lives to cross the Lost Swamp. If we go over there again, wouldn't that be courting death?"

Ding Huan said helplessly:
"Who made me so weak? I'm sure that bastard Deacon Qiong won't let me go. He will definitely come back to kill me and snatch the Ningxing Bamboo."

Yan Mei was stunned for a moment, puzzled:
"Brother, since you know that Deacon Qiong is coming back to hunt you down for Ningxingzhu, why do you still want Ningxingzhu?"

Ding Huan sneered:

"Why should I give my things to an ungrateful bastard? Does he have a fair face?"

After saying this, Ding Huan had already arrived at the edge of the Lost Swamp, and then stepped into the Lost Swamp without hesitation.

Lao Liu naturally wouldn't hesitate at all. He would go wherever Ding Huan went.

Yan Mei did not hesitate either, he knew very well that he had no way out.

The moment he killed Qu Yueshan, he had no way back.

The Lost Swamp quickly hid the figures of Ding Huan and the other two, and this world once again became empty and dead silent as before.

Almost as soon as Ding Huan's figure disappeared in the Lost Swamp, a flying magic weapon quickly flew over from a distance and then stopped at the place where everyone had left before.

A man got off the spaceship, and it turned out to be the Deacon Qiong who had left not long ago.

Deacon Qiong put away the spaceship and looked around carefully, but he saw nothing after looking for a long time.

This made Deacon Qiong frown in confusion. This is impossible?
No matter how capable Ding Huan was, it was impossible for him to run far in such a short time.

You have to know that his spaceship had just flown a circle around the periphery. If Ding Huan was nearby, he would have seen it long ago.

Although Ding Huan had not established a foundation, he had studied his spiritual consciousness on his own and had spent a year or two tempering it in the vast starry universe.

Therefore, in terms of the actual level of his spiritual power, it is only slightly stronger than Deacon Qiong's.

At this moment, he saw through his divine sense that Deacon Qiong was coming to look for him.

This Qiong deacon is not only an ungrateful person, but also a beast who repays kindness with enmity.

For a piece of Ningxing Bamboo, has this guy's conscience been eaten by a dog? One day he will come back and kill this thing.

This time Ding Huan did not bring a large army, nor did he have to deliberately slow down. In just half a day, he led Yan Mei and Lao Liu out of the Lost Swamp.

"Brother Ding, we came back so soon?" Yan Mei couldn't help but exclaimed after walking out of the Lost Swamp.

Ding Huan had no choice but to say: "I have now summed up a rule. Even if we go back, we will not fall into the swamp black hole." Yan Mei was overjoyed. That meant that after they escaped the pursuit of Deacon Qiong, they still had a chance to go back.

Ding Huan checked their location, which was between the Dahe Canyon and the Lost Swamp.

It can be considered a safe zone. This middle area is also long and boundless, and no one knows where it extends to.

The width of this middle area is also different. The widest place is dozens of miles, and the narrowest place is only a few feet.

"Let's go. Let's go up first. It only takes ten days or half a month. Even if Deacon Qiong wants to look for us, he won't be able to find us."

Ding Huan decided to swim upstream along this middle area.

Ding Huan is very fast. Lao Liu’s cultivation is similar to Ding Huan’s, so his speed is naturally not slow.

In comparison, Yan Mei's speed was much slower.

Although Yan Mei's aptitude was okay, he was a new disciple who had just been recruited and had not yet started practicing in the sect. The things he had practiced before were all pieced together.

A day later, Ding Huan found a spacious place to camp before dark.

Yan Mei had been worried for days about having to explore the Lost Swamp. Now that he had finally put down his bag, the first thing he did was fall asleep.

For the first time, Ding Huan tried to set up a defensive formation outside his tent.

It's just that arranging a defense array is different from carving a ban, which requires array flags. At least Ding Huan doesn't know how to use array patterns to arrange arrays now.

Two hours later, Ding Huan had only set up a defense array close to level one. Strictly speaking, this was a defense array without a grade.

The formation flags were all made by Ding Huan himself, and the materials were purchased by him in Sixiang City.

The formation flags he refined were not even up to the level of magical weapons. Given his level, it was normal that he could not arrange a first-level defense formation.

"Lao Liu, come in." After setting up the formation, Ding Huan called Lao Liu in immediately.

Lao Liu looked at Ding Huan with some doubts. Ding Huan had never allowed it to break through to the foundation-building stage. Now that it had finally separated from the main group, it was planning to break through to the foundation-building stage.

"Sixth Brother, this is a Taoist world. I don't think my strength can take care of you. Besides, across the way is the Great Valley, which is a paradise for monsters."

Ding Huan pointed to the Dahe Canyon while speaking:

"If you don't want to wander with me, I think that's normal. You can go to the Great Valley by yourself. I believe that with your intelligence and wisdom, you will succeed in building a foundation sooner or later.

I should have terminated the master-servant contract between you and me since we have known each other for a while, but I am unable to terminate the contract due to my limited strength."

Unlocking the master-servant contract was just Ding Huan's polite words, he really couldn't unlock it. Even if he could, he wouldn't unlock Lao Liu's contract.

This guy is not a good person. He knows that Ding Huan has obtained a lot of God-Blooming Crystals, and Ding Huan has not told him about the Star House.

Who knows what this thing can do after it is unlocked?

When Lao Liu heard this, his eyes rolled around.

In terms of loyalty, it basically has none.

It also understood its situation. Now it had no other way out except to follow Ding Huan.

After all, it is also a genetic spiritual root, and it has tried to build a foundation many times, but failed.

Who knows if it will succeed this time?

Thinking of this, Lao Liu quickly took out a pen and paper:

"Brother Huan, I am loyal to you. I will not go to one Great Valley, let alone ten thousand Great Valleys."

Ding Huan didn't believe a word of what Lao Liu said. Since Lao Liu didn't want to go, he didn't bother to say anything more. He took out a spiritual blue fruit and handed it to Lao Liu:

"this is for you."

Before Lao Liu got the psychic blue-faced fruit, an extreme desire surged in his heart. He threw away the paper and pen, took a step forward and grabbed the psychic blue-faced fruit in his hand.

"Brother Huan, what kind of spiritual fruit is this?" Lao Liu excitedly picked up the paper and pen again and wrote a sentence.

"You'll know after you eat it," said Ding Huan.

He also wanted to know if this fruit was as magical as he remembered and could make monsters speak.

Lao Liu, who had been waiting for Ding Huan to say this, swallowed the psychic blue fruit in his hand without hesitation.

A tearing sensation exploded in the throat, and Lao Liu was startled. He thought it was a poisonous fruit. Brother Huan, do you think I’m a burden and want to kill me?

Then it realized that if Ding Huan wanted to kill it, he didn't need to waste a single fruit. He could kill it with just a thought.

In a short period of time, Lao Liu felt that he seemed to have undergone tremendous changes, as if his whole body had been cleansed.

"Brother Huan..." Lao Liu called out, and then remembered to get a pen.

Then Old Six was startled by his own voice and he regained the ability to speak.

"Brother Huan, is this the magical fruit that can make monsters learn to speak human language?" Lao Liu's voice was trembling with excitement.

Ding Huan chuckled: "What do you think?"

"Thank you, Brother Huan. I promise that from now on, if Brother Huan tells me to go left, I will definitely not go right. If Brother Huan tells me to go forward, I will definitely not go backward."

How could Lao Liu contain his joy?

Then he thought to himself that Brother Huan was so insidious. If it really went to Dahe Canyon, Brother Huan would definitely not give it this kind of fruit.

People’s hearts are too vicious, so I’d better just follow Brother Huan and be the sixth one.
