Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 296 - 291: The People’s Hearts Have Dispersed
"I understand," said Bei Shu as he saw Fu Qijian force Wu Zhanxia, who he had thought had already stepped onto the Immortal Bridge, into retreat with a single sword strike, and suddenly spoke up.
At this moment, at least sixty people were watching the battle, their faces filled with disbelief as they looked at Fu Qijian.
Fu Qijian was actually able to force Wu Zhanxia back with one sword, seemingly without being at a disadvantage at all. This was simply terrifying.
Could it be that outside the Four-layered Sea Canyon, there were others who had stepped onto the Immortal Bridge?
Wu Zhanxia of the Four-layered Sea Canyon was, after all, recognized as one who had stepped onto the Immortal Bridge.
Only Wu Zhanxia knew that in his fight against Fu Qijian, he was the one at a disadvantage.
The reason for being at a disadvantage was simple, Ding Huan had broken the rules and sneak-attacked him.
But these were things he absolutely could not say. He had to maintain his image as an invincible practitioner of Daoist Skill.
Not to mention a sneak attack by Ding Huan, even if a dozen people attacked him at the same time, he would still be an invincible presence.
Now he was actually more worried about Ding Huan becoming anxious and spilling everything.
This Ding Huan certainly knew his secret.
Ding Huan smiled:
"So that’s why I said there’s no need to worry about him. Also, don’t be fooled by the number of people here. As long as we exit this space, no matter how many people there are outside, they’re not a threat."
Bei Shu laughed loudly, "Right."
Outside, as long as they were within Ding Huan’s Domain, their Divine Will was completely unaffected. But the Divine Will of others was compressed to only one percent of its strength. How could they possibly fight against them?
Wu Zhanxia bowed with a fist:
"Since we are all Daoist friends who have stepped onto the Immortal Bridge, today I, Wu Zhanxia, will give you some face. Qu Shan, go and bring Ji Xuwen here."
A man quickly departed, but within the crowd, a woman looked at Bei Shu with amazement and asked:
"Is that Daoist Bei Shu?"
Bei Shu’s gaze fell on this woman, and he also said in disbelief, "Daoist Qin Huan? What are you doing here?"
Qin Huan? Ding Huan remembered immediately, wasn’t this woman from Changyuan Sword Dao?
It seemed that there was another called Cang Yongqian who, unable to ascend through the Ascension Tower, then entered the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield to seek Immortal Fate. Unexpectedly, they had ended up in the domain of this great swindler, Wu Zhanxia.
He had never liked the Changyuan Sword Dao much, because both of the women from Changyuan Sword Dao he knew weren’t exactly virtuous.
Cen Huan said with joy, "It’s really you! Not only am I here, but Daoist Cang Yongqian is here too."
"Could you invite Daoist Cang Yongqian over?" hurriedly said Bei Shu.
He knew that Ding Huan was going to fight Jiuyuan, so the more powerful allies they could gather, the better.
He just worried that Cang Yongqian might not be willing to leave with him. After all, any Earth Immortal Perfection who sensed the presence of the Immortal Bridge Dao Rhythm would find it impossible to resist.
"Of course, I can... Oh, Daoist Cang is on his way."
As Cen Huan spoke, a man carrying a long blade quickly approached, and he too spotted Bei Shu, laughing heartily:
"Daoist Bei Shu, have you also come to pledge allegiance to Master Wu?"
Bei Shu smiled, "Brother Cang, I’m here to invite you to leave this place with me."
Cang Yongqian was surprised as he looked at Bei Shu:
"Bei Shu, are you sure? This place has the Immortal Bridge Dao Rhythm, and you want to leave it?"

Bei Shu said earnestly:
"Brother Cang, Daoist Cen Huan, if you are willing to trust me, leave this place with me. Don’t you both know what kind of person I am?"
Upon hearing Bei Shu’s words, Wu Zhanxia’s face grew cold.
But he couldn’t lose his temper, the feeling Ding Huan gave him was too eerie.
What he worried about more was that Ding Huan would spill everything.
After pondering for a while, Cen Huan said, "Alright, I’ll go out with you. But I’m not very confident about breaking out of the Four-layered Sea Canyon."
Bei Shu laughed loudly, "Daoist Cen, you don’t have to worry about that, we’ll definitely make it out."
Cang Yongqian hesitated for a long while before saying:
"Well, I’ve been here for many years and have always been unable to take that dream step. I might as well go out and take a walk with you first."
"Master Wu, my friends and I are going out for a walk. Perhaps I will come to serve under the Valley Master someday in the future," said Cang Yongqian to Wu Zhanxia with a sincere bow.
Cen Huan also bowed, "I sincerely thank the Valley Master for your kindness over the years. I plan to take a walk outside as well."
Bei Shu knew Cang Yongqian’s character well—despite saying he might come back in the future, in reality, that was definitely not happening.
For Cang Yongqian, once he decided to leave, there was no turning back.
Wu Zhanxia was as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly. If it weren’t for Ding Huan’s presence, there was no way Cang Yongqian and Cen Huan would dare to leave together. That would be a death sentence.
He needed more Earth Immortal Cultivators in his domain. There were never enough people to begin with, so how could he let any Earth Immortal that came here leave?
Now, all he could do was let out a dry laugh.
"Come and go as you please; this place always welcomes the two Daoists to return. I, Wu Zhanxia, have never hindered anyone’s comings and goings. We Daoist cultivators value our freedom above all."
"Thank you, Valley Master," Cen Huan and Cang Yongqian quickly expressed their gratitude.
At this moment, Qu Shan, who had just left, swiftly returned with a refined-looking man.
"Master," Fu Qijian exclaimed upon seeing the man, immediately shouting out loud.
"Xiao Ci? How did you end up here?" the man asked with a frown, raising his voice.
But after he asked, he was shocked to say,
"You’ve reached the Earth Immortal Realm?"
Fu Qijian quickly bowed in respect, then said, "Yes, I advanced to the Earth Immortal Realm not long ago and specifically came here to take Master away."
Ji Xuwen instinctively glanced at Wu Zhanxia, knowing full well that Wu Zhanxia would not allow anyone to leave this place.
To his surprise, Wu Zhanxia just smiled and said nothing.
His gaze fell on Ding Huan and Bei Shu once more, and he thought to himself, could it be because Xiao Ci brought friends over, Master Wu is powerless to stop them?
That didn’t quite make sense either; he knew Wu Zhanxia’s strength better than anyone else.
Wu Zhanxia remained silent, so he quickly bowed as well and said, "Valley Master Wu, my disciple has come to find me, and I wish to leave with him to take a walk outside."
Wu Zhanxia laughed heartily,
"Of course, that’s possible."
Ji Xuwen was even more certain, it really was so.
"If that’s the case, let’s be on our way," Ding Huan said with a wave of his hand, ready to lead everyone away from here.
Just then, a frail-looking man approached Ding Huan and said with a clasped fist,
"Friend, my name is Qi Yonghan. I also wish to leave with the Daoist. Could I possibly accompany you?"
Ding Huan was preparing to confront Jiuyuan, so naturally, the more Earth Immortal-powerful allies, the better. He didn’t even care about the dark expression on Wu Zhanxia’s face and directly said,
"Of course, the more, the merrier."
Wu Zhanxia didn’t even wait for Qi Yonghan to bid him farewell, and immediately said, "Then all of you, take care; I will not see you out, for I need to seal this place and continue my closed-door cultivation."
He was worried that if they delayed any longer, who knew how many more people would wish to leave this place.
The Immortal Bridge Dao Rhythm space he had constructed benefitted from having more Earth Immortal-strong cultivators; if too many left, what would be the point of his constructing this Immortal Bridge Dao Rhythm space?
Seeing that Wu Zhanxia was ignoring him and not granting him a chance to bid farewell, Qi Yonghan didn’t bother to say goodbye either, instead standing directly next to Ding Huan.
He had long felt that something was not right here; it was just that he had not dared to leave. Now with an opportunity, how could he let it slip by?
Although Ding Huan had the lowest cultivation level, he could see that Ding Huan was the leader among this group.
"Who killed my Jiuyuan’s He Yiquan?" an angry voice came, followed by two figures who quickly rushed over.
Wu Zhanxia saw the newcomers and frowned slightly.
He really didn’t like Jiuyuan. No matter what trouble Jiuyuan caused outside, it was fine.
This was his, Wu Zhanxia’s, territory. People from Jiuyuan could cultivate here, provide Dao Rhythm Laws for his Tao Space, but they were not allowed to form cliques or factions here.
In the Cultivator Avenue District, there were a total of ninety-seven Earth Immortal cultivators, and Jiuyuan had sent six. The problem was that these six were forming cliques, which annoyed him.
"Chuanxi from Jiuyuan is very strong; I’ll take him on," Cen Huan said, and with a wave of his hand, a long sword appeared in his palm.
Ding Huan laughed, just about to speak when suddenly a black light burst forth from beneath Chuanxi’s feet.
Chuanxi had come flying through the air directly; he had not anticipated that someone in the Cultivator Avenue District would attack him.
In his subconscious, those living in the Avenue District were naturally allies.
At this moment, Chuanxi’s murderous intent was all directed at Ding Huan’s side, and the person who struck him was no weaker than him. By the time he realized what was happening, a cloud of blood exploded in the black light.
Chuanxi let out a pitiful scream as his entire body forcefully shifted sideways to avoid the next lethal strike.
What he didn’t expect was that during his sideward movement, another red light slashed down.
No matter Chuanxi’s abilities, he couldn’t evade two consecutive sneak attacks.
"Pfft!" A spurt of blood, and Chuanxi’s body was cleaved in two.
His Primordial Spirit had just emerged when it was grasped by a woman:
"Ji Gu, you dare..."
Chuanxi let out a panicked cry in shock.
The response was the woman’s True Yuan exploding in her hand, forcibly crushing Chuanxi’s Primordial Spirit into chaotic Dao Rhythms.
The man who came with Chuanxi didn’t dare to advance; he hastily retreated hundreds of meters, falling to the outside of the crowd.
Wu Zhanxia’s face turned iron blue, he swore that once Ding Huan and the others left, he would make this man and woman wish for death.
Even though he disliked Jiuyuan, the people from Jiuyuan were still part of his domain, his subordinates in his eyes.
Now that the external enemies had not yet left, Ji Gu and Fei Zhankong dared to launch a sneak attack, killing Chuanxi.
