Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 301 - 296 Sealing Jiuyuan City
"Four Earth Immortals are nothing to be concerned about," Mu Chengzi spoke up, "but everyone, remember not to give them any chance to send messages back when we exit."
Ding Huan didn’t say this outright because he was certain that these four had no opportunity to send messages out.
With over a dozen Earth Immortal experts on his side, he wouldn’t need to lift a finger upon exiting. Simply using his Domain to lock down the space would prevent these individuals from sending any messages.
"Eh, someone else is coming," Ding Huan, who was using the Eye of the Great Wilderness to spot where the exit had moved to, heard Cen Huan say.
Ding Huan’s Divine Will swept out and also saw four people rapidly charging toward their location.
He recognized all four.
"You guys..." As Yi Qianxing rushed forward and saw a group of people here, he was momentarily stunned.
But he quickly recognized Cen Huan, along with Senior Shan and Cang Yongqian, and immediately exclaimed with excitement:
"Senior Cen, Senior Shan, Senior Cang... Sect Master Ding, Lord Liu, and Lord Lou are here too?"
"Haha... I was wondering why they looked so familiar, turns out it’s Tower Immortal Yi," Senior Shan laughed heartily.
From a distance, Lin Yuqi, Xiu Cang, and Xiang Fengbei hurried forward to pay their respects.
"We came in intending to search for several seniors. After searching for two years with no news, we didn’t expect to encounter you all just as we were about to leave."
Yi Qianxing was still unable to contain the joy in his heart.
Cen Huan asked with a puzzled look, "What do you want us for?"
Yi Qianxing sighed,
"I dare not speak outside, but seeing the seniors here, I can speak freely. Triple Heaven Star Land may seem safe on the surface, but in reality, it’s as precarious as eggs stacked atop one another.
Jiuyuan, using Jiuyuan City to control the Ascension Realm, I reckon it won’t be long before Jiuyuan will completely control the entire Triple Heaven Star Land.
While the talent of our Triple Heaven Star Land dwindles, in so many years, only Lord Lin has emerged as an Earth Immortal. I hoped to find several seniors to return and take charge, to at least stabilize the place where we reside.
More frighteningly, I’ve heard that the Barbarian Beast Star System has once again grown stronger, annihilating several human-inhabited planets, including two Taoist Cultivation Stars.
If one day there is another Insect Demon invasion of our Triple Heaven Star Land, and we no longer have Senior Luo Bei, how will we withstand it?"
"You do have some insight," Senior Shan nodded.
Ding Huan laughed heartily, "In that case, allow me to introduce everyone... This is Mr. Xun Youshan, who founded the Xun Family line back in Qi Bei... This is Mu Chengzi, holder of a Level 9 Spiritual Artifact..."
With each introduction Ding Huan made, the jaws of Yi Qianxing and the others dropped a little more.
They thought that Senior Shan, Cen Huan, and Cang Yongqian were among the most senior here.
Now they realized that these three were actually the lowest in seniority in this place.
Mu Chengzi was a legendary figure of the Triple Heaven Star Land, and Xun Youshan was even more so an ancestor of Xun Bu. And who was Xun Bu? He was the fierce man who single-handedly took on Jiuyuan.
Ji Gu, wasn’t she the one once known as the Triple Heaven Star Land’s number one Loose Cultivator? With a reputation as a true Loose Cultivator, she stepped into the Peak of Earth Immortal Perfection legend.
Ji Gu’s legend was no less significant than Xun Bu’s. Senior Shan might be called a Loose Cultivator, but he at least came from the Datong Academy. Ji Gu was a true grassroots Loose Cultivator.
Her journey in cultivation was a legendary tale, being the only female cultivator to enter the Cosmic Vortex and still be able to return to the Triple Heaven Star Land, the one who single-handedly destroyed the Three Great Sects...
Fei Zhankong, Ji Xuwen, Qi Yonghan... wasn’t each one of them an existence from rumors?
Now, they were all seen in person, and moreover, gathered together.
"We follow Sect Master Ding and are preparing to deal with Jiuyuan," Senior Shan patted Yi Qianxing.
Only then did Lin Yuqi and Yi Qianxing understand that the leader of this group was Ding Huan, an inconspicuous Sect Master from the small Taoist Realm.
Lin Yuqi internally marveled; a few years ago, Ding Huan dared to remain calm in the face of so many strong individuals at the Sect Master Council of the Ascension Realm.
He even boldly challenged Shi Chuncang in front of everyone; Lin Yuqi knew Ding Huan must be extraordinary.
How many years have passed? The once inconspicuous Ding Huan was now leading a group of Earth Immortal experts here. Was this not extraordinary?
After realizing Ding Huan was leading, Lin Yuqi quickly cupped his fists towards Ding Huan, "Sect Master Ding, I am in a rush to leave because my Hundred Joy Villa is being attacked."
Ding Huan nodded, if he wasn’t mistaken, those attacking Hundred Joy Villa would definitely be linked to Jiuyuan.
"Alright, let’s leave now." Ding Huan had already located the exit with the Eye of the Great Wilderness, and as he spoke, he took out several Array Flags.
Lin Yuqi quickly produced a disc, "Sect Master Ding, this is the Lin Family’s Locator Disc. I can use this to find our way out. Although the odds are slim, there’s still a 30% chance."
Ding Huan waved his hand, "No need."
Right after, he threw out the Array Flags, and a gap appeared in front of everyone.
"They must have noticed by now, let’s move quickly," Ding Huan said as he was the first to rush out.
Seeing Ding Huan charging out, Senior Shan and Fu Qijian followed suit.
Ding Huan couldn’t get hurt; he was their leader.
"Good kid, you really can get out," a man suddenly stood up and reached out to grab Ding Huan.
Ding Huan had no intention of engaging in combat; as soon as he emerged, he expanded his own Domain.
He couldn’t lock down the Domain of an Earth Immortal cultivator, but he could prevent the other party from sending out a distress signal.
How could Senior Shan let anyone from Jiuyuan touch Ding Huan? He emerged almost simultaneously with Ding Huan, and the Nine Yarn Scrolls were also brought into play.
Simultaneously, the sword screen of Fu Qijian locked down another Earth Immortal cultivator.
The other two were simultaneously bound by Fei Zhankong and Qi Yonghan.
Although all four cultivators from Jiuyuan were Earth Immortals, the strongest among them had only the power of the fifth level of Earth Immortal.
Besides Fu Qijian, who was at the first level of Earth Immortal, anyone else from Ding Huan’s group was at the peak of Earth Immortal or had achieved Earth Immortal Perfection.
As soon as they took action, the surrounding space was filled with murderous intent and the intersecting rhythms of the Dao, almost tearing the fabric of space apart.
Yi Qianxing and Lin Yuqi, who had just emerged, were stunned. It had already been outrageous enough for four Earth Immortals to block their path.
Yet in the brief span of just a few dozen breaths, these four Earth Immortals who were blocking them were now trying to flee in terror.
Zhong Zhiyang was almost going mad. He had been ordered to come here with three Earth Immortal cultivators to intercept Ding Huan, an ant who wasn’t even an Immortal, and he found it rather absurd.
Was this necessary?
Even one Earth Immortal would have been enough to intercept such an ant who hadn’t reached the Immortal level.
Was this excessive caution? To deploy four Earth Immortals to guard the exit of the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield?
But now he realized, even twenty Earth Immortals wouldn’t be able to stop them...
No, sending out twenty Earth Immortals would be like sending them to their deaths.
Because those emerging here, all of them, were Earth Immortal Perfection. How could they possibly fight against that?
Run...
The moment Zhong Zhiyang thought of escaping, his neck was torn open by the dark light from Fei Zhankong’s hand.
I must be crazy, why did I join Jiuyuan? With my fifth-level Earth Immortal cultivation, where could I not roam freely? This was the only thought Zhong Zhiyang had before his death.
Almost simultaneously as Fei Zhankong killed Zhong Zhiyang, the other three Earth Immortals were also slain.
"Ha ha, Xiao Qi, not bad at all, stepping into Earth Immortal before your master and even stronger than me by quite a margin," Ji Xuwen laughed heartily upon seeing Fu Qijian easily slay an opponent with higher cultivation.
"Ding Sect Master, I need to return to the villa immediately," Lin Yuqi said urgently, intending to take his leave from Ding Huan.
Ding Huan nodded and said, "Lao Dan and Mr. Fei, please accompany Lord Lin on his trip. After you finish, come directly to Jiuyuan City.
Remember not to hold back, otherwise you’ll disappoint me."
Lao Dan glared at Ding Huan, his own Datong Academy had been destroyed by Jiuyuan, would he hold back now against Jiuyuan? This kid was asking to be hit with his words.
"Thank you, Ding Sect Master," said Lin Yuqi, excitedly expressing his gratitude once more.
Knowing that Jiuyuan was behind the move against Hundred Joy Villa, Lin Yuqi had been worried he wasn’t strong enough to face them.
Now that Ding Huan had dispatched two experts of Earth Immortal Perfection, what was there to worry about?
...
Jiuyuan City.
It was Ding Huan’s second visit here.

The first time he arrived, he was amazed by the prosperity and bustle of Jiuyuan City.
However, on this second visit, Ding Huan could no longer sense the same scene.
Logically, the outskirts of Jiuyuan City were a commercial hub, and its proximity to the city should have meant it wouldn’t be so desolate.
Even if he had killed the City Lord Wang Pingdao, it shouldn’t be like this.
A city lord’s death and the prosperity of a business hub should have nothing to do with each other. Besides, Wang Pingdao likely contributed nothing to the liveliness of Jiuyuan City.
"Ding Huan, something’s not right here," Fu Qijian said with a frown.
Before Ding Huan could reply, he saw Xiu Cang approaching with a pale face and a quivering body.
"Sect Master Xiu, what’s wrong?" Ding Huan asked with a puzzled tone.
Xiu Cang, with a trembling voice, said: "My Inquiry Weapon Sect has been annihilated; I, Xiu Cang, have failed my ancestors..."
After speaking, Xiu Cang made to rush inside.
Ding Huan quickly stopped Xiu Cang: "Sect Master Xiu, if you rush in now, you won’t be able to get your revenge and will only startle the enemy. I’m certain Jiuyuan City is almost entirely under Jiuyuan’s control now. My purpose here isn’t just to slay a few ants."
Xiu Cang finally calmed down and with a clasped fist said, "Ding Sect Master, I am willing to lay down my life today to show Jiuyuan that my Inquiry Weapon Sect is not so easily extinguished."
"Good," Ding Huan nodded.
He then said to the others, "I plan to use a Protecting Array to lock down the entire Jiuyuan City. I could use some help."
"I’m skilled at this. I’ll handle the Array Flag creation. This ring contains Array Flags; if it’s not enough, I’ll make more," Mu Chengzi was the first to stand up, handing a ring to Ding Huan.
"Ding Huan, you take charge of the main Array, and we’ll assist. Jiuyuan City is large, but it should take us no more than half a day to seal it," said Xun Youshan.
After witnessing Ding Huan’s skill at setting up a Teleportation Array, although there were other Array Dao experts here, no one dared to claim their Array Dao skills were superior to Ding Huan’s.
"Okay," Ding Huan immediately took out an Array Flag from the ring given by Mu Chengzi and started to set it up.
With just a single Array Flag placed, Ding Huan knew this Array would be of much higher level than the Big Arrays he had set up before.
This was because they were all Level 9 Array Flags.
