SWNOVELXO Chapter 679: Human Tribe Spy
The Dao Xu Guild had essentially disbanded, but its council hall remained the best meeting place on Dao Ruins Street.
With no one in charge of the Dao Xu Guild, Yuanqing naturally became the host, leading Ding Huan and others openly into the Dao Xu Guild's council hall.
After some pleasantries, Yuanqing and the others chatted aimlessly.
Mo Changcan, growing impatient, said, "Alliance Leader Yuan, let's just speak our minds. If there's nothing to say, Ding Huan and I will go earn some money."
He felt that there were few Divine Kings on the human side and they couldn't always target the Divine Kings of the Human Tribe either.
So he had a bold idea in mind, which was to collaborate with Ding Huan and go after the Divine Kings of the God tribe.
The world of Xingchen God King had been shattered by him, and he was itching for more action.
He definitely wanted to find another Divine King to test his skills.
That Qi Yi seemed suitable, but Ding Huan had temporarily advised against acting, leaving him helpless.
Yuanqing chuckled, "Mr. Mo is a straightforward person, so I'll speak plainly. Do you two know why the God tribe came to Dao Xu last time?"
"It should be about the Tree Ancestor, right?" Ding Huan replied nonchalantly.
"Haha, you see things clearly, Mr. Ding. Indeed, it likely has something to do with the Tree Ancestor..."
Ding Huan released his domain.
Just now, when he mentioned the Tree Ancestor, there was an odd Dao rhythm fluctuation from someone.
That person was Wudan Zi.
Ding Huan knew that Wudan Zi was most antagonistic towards him and was Yuanqing's right-hand man, but the Tree Ancestor was the ancient ancestor of the God tribe and naturally an enemy of the Human Tribe.
In theory, Wudan Zi shouldn't be hearing about the Tree Ancestor for the first time. What was so strange?
Ding Huan's domain was fused with the Law of All Things. With his current cultivation, after extending his domain, no one here could notice it, not even Yuanqing.
In just a short time, Ding Huan retracted his domain.
He appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was deeply shocked.
Wasn't this group of people with Yuanqing considered the leaders of the Human Tribe? How could there still be a Divine Clan cultivator among them?
Ding Huan wasn't sure how many Divine Clan cultivators he'd slaughtered; he could even instantly deploy a Genetic Slaughter Law against them.
So as soon as his domain touched Wudan Zi, he confirmed that Wudan Zi was a Divine Clan cultivator.
Indeed, there are some non-racists, but Ding Huan was sure that Wudan Zi wasn't one of them.
Yuanqing likely also didn't know that Wudan Zi was a Divine Clan cultivator.
This guy hid well, no wonder Shu Ziche was unwilling to share some information with Yuanqing.
Wudan Zi was discovered because he held too much respect for the Tree Ancestor, ingrained to the bone.
Upon hearing the name of the Tree Ancestor, reverence arose uncontrollably.
"Mr. Ding, the matter of the Tree Ancestor is no small matter. I fear that once the Tree Ancestor regains strength, it would be a disaster for us Humans.
I know Mr. Huan is the Unification God Ancestor, but Mr. Ding likely doesn't know the might of the Tree Ancestor. Those who died at the hands of the Tree Ancestor back then, even Unification-level beings were the weakest of them.
Even the rumored sanctified ones would find it tough to deal with the Tree Ancestor in its full glory..."
At that moment, the restriction at the door was triggered.
Yuanqing frowned slightly but opened the restriction of the council hall.
A World God cultivator entered, bowed, and said, "Alliance Leader, two Divine King members of the God tribe have come to visit outside, requesting to see the Alliance Leader."
Not just Yuanqing, even Mo Changcan knew that if the God tribe showed up at this time, they surely intended to enter Dao Xu and then meet the Tree Ancestor.
Mo Changcan smirked, stood up, and said, "Just in time, Ding Huan, each of us will take one and get rid of these two descendants of the tree demon."
Ding Huan glanced at Mo Changcan and said sternly, "Changcan, we've made peace with the God tribe now, and we're even neighboring friendly tribes, how can we casually talk about fighting and killing?
These friendly ties weren't easily formed, we can't just carelessly destroy it. We not only mustn't act against them but also have to properly entertain them. If they wish to enter Dao Xu, Alliance Leader Yuan will make appropriate arrangements."
Mo Changcan was stunned; had this Ding Huan been replaced?
Why was he now flattering the God tribe?
Yuanqing also froze; in his impression, Ding Huan had powerful backing, he couldn't possibly be so respectful toward the God tribe, could he?
Before he could speak, Ding Huan's voice came through: "Alliance Leader Yuan, have Wudan Zi go entertain the God tribe, and stall the Divine Kings of the God tribe for some time while we figure something out over here."
Yuanqing didn't understand what Ding Huan meant, but he agreed with Ding Huan's suggestion; they couldn't neglect the Divine Kings of the God tribe:
"Friend Wudan Zi, please go and entertain the God tribe, make sure there are no barriers with the Divine Kings of the God tribe. I'll come over as soon as I finish discussing matters here."
Wudan Zi immediately stood, "Rest assured, Alliance Leader, I know what to do."
Seeing Wudan Zi leave, Ding Huan casually applied a restriction and said, "Alliance Leader Yuan, do you know Wudan Zi is a Divine Clan cultivator?"
Wudan Zi is a Divine Clan cultivator?
Though there weren't many people in this council hall, Ding Huan's words stunned everyone present.
Wudan Zi had contributed significantly to resisting the God tribe, with many Medicines provided by the Red Cloud Alchemy Dao Sect.
This pillar of the Human Tribe, how could he possibly be a Divine Clan cultivator?
Mo Changcan, however, understood; he was sure Ding Huan wouldn't speak without basis. Ding Huan saying Wudan Zi was a Divine Clan cultivator meant he definitely was a Divine Clan cultivator.
"Mr. Ding, you can't say such things lightly, this concerns the future and Dao path of a sect and a Divine King."
Yuanqing's tone was very cautious.
Ding Huan said blandly, "I've dealt with the Divine Clan for so many years, I definitely won't see it wrong. Wudan is a Divine Clan cultivator."
The usually silent Sword God Dock Master, Pu Zhijian, suddenly spoke up, "I believe Mr. Ding's words. Mr. Ding would absolutely not wrong Wudan with this matter."
No matter how much Yuanqing disbelieved, he had to gradually accept this fact.
"Mr. Ding, what do you mean we should do next?" Wang Zhenjiu, the Sect Master of the Great Evolution Sacred Dao Sect, looked at Ding Huan.
Ding Huan chuckled, "I agree with Mo Changcan's suggestion, get rid of these guys."
"Haha," Mo Changcan laughed heartily.
Yuanqing shook his head, "We absolutely can't do that. If we kill these people here on Dao Ruins Street, the Divine Clan will once again launch an attack on the Human Tribe over there..."
After speaking, he looked at Ding Huan, wanting to know if the Mr. Huan behind Ding Huan was reliable.
Mr. Huan?
Yuanqing had a strange thought, could it be that Mr. Huan is Ding Huan?
Not long ago, when Ding Huan dealt with Qi Yi on Dao Ruins Street, he seemed to refer to himself as Mr. Huan.
If Mr. Huan is indeed Ding Huan, that could be a huge misunderstanding.
Though puzzled inwardly, he did not voice it out.
Because this Ding Huan in front of him was also not one to be trifled with, could he be simple if he could kill a mid-stage Divine King?
However, Wudan absolutely must not be killed. If Wudan is killed, his loss would be too great.
Whether Wudan is a Divine Clan cultivator or not he wasn't sure, even if Wudan is a Divine Clan cultivator, maybe Wudan had long been loyal.
Ding Huan was just about to say to go into Dao Ruins and get rid of those Divine Clan's few Divine Kings, but seeing Yuanqing's expression, he knew this guy did not want to continue taking risks.
In fact, this guy even had the intention to protect Wudan.
Sure enough, Yuanqing continued, "Whether Wudan is a Divine Clan cultivator, we're not sure yet. Mr. Ding, give me some time, and let me investigate.
If Wudan truly leans toward the Divine Clan, I, Yuanqing, will risk my life to kill him. If Wudan is not a Divine Clan cultivator, we cannot do things that make loved ones grieve while enemies rejoice."
Mo Changcan was furious.
However, Ding Huan nodded, "Still, Alliance Leader Yuan thinks it through, my earlier guess was indeed somewhat rash. There's no rush at this moment, after Alliance Leader Yuan investigates, we can decide then.
Alliance Leader Yuan, I'd like to have a private talk with you, is that convenient?"
Yuanqing laughed and stood up, "Why would it be inconvenient, let's go, there's a small guest room here. Everyone, please wait a moment, I'll have a short chat with Mr. Ding and be back."
Mo Changcan secretly chuckled in his heart after hearing Ding Huan's words.
He was sure Ding Huan had decided to act; otherwise, he wouldn't have said such things.
What rash guess, what's no rush for now.
Ever since he knew Ding Huan, Ding Huan never rushed things or acted rashly.
Revenge never waited overnight.
As soon as they reached the small guest room, Yuanqing asked:
"Mr. Ding, I know what you want to ask, and I will certainly tell all I know without reserve.
But I also have a question I'd like to ask Mr. Ding, is the Human Tribe's Mr. Huan Mr. Ding's master or..."
Ding Huan replied coldly, "In my sect lineage, no matter who goes out, they all call themselves Mr. Huan, what, is Alliance Leader Yuan feeling uncomfortable?"
In just an instant, Ding Huan understood why Yuanqing would ask this question.
It must be because he himself claimed to be Mr. Huan, making this old fellow suspicious.
Whether the other party has seen through it or not, Ding Huan truly doesn't care now.
Even though Yuanqing is late-stage Divine King, even peak, so what?
Yuanqing awkwardly laughed, "How could it be?"
Indeed, however strong Ding Huan is, can he arrange a seventh-level Defense Divine Array? Can he arrange a Slaughter Law Big Array?
It seemed he was thinking too much.
To not let Ding Huan have too poor an impression of him, Yuanqing lowered his voice, "Mr. Ding, do you know who Qi Yi's registered disciple is?"
He understood that Ding Huan called him in to ask about this matter.
Ding Huan said blandly, "Could it be that Qi Yi's master is still alive?"
Yuanqing nodded, "Yes, he's still alive, and very strong. He doesn't come out because it doesn't involve him, but once it does, he will undoubtedly show up.
Moreover, Qi Yi is counted as his registered disciple..."
After a pause, Yuanqing said somewhat sincerely, "Mr. Ding, actually I too am considered a registered disciple of that senior. Back then, I was able to set foot in the Divine King Realm because of that senior's guidance."
"Who is it?" Ding Huan felt that Yuanqing's speech was elusive, a manner he very much disliked.
"His name is Shen Cuo, besides Qi Yi and me as registered disciples, he also has a direct disciple, named Cangqing..."
Ding Huan wasn't concerned, what if Shen Cuo is Unification level? Can't he escape if he can't beat him?
"Mr. Ding, Shen Cuo is particularly fond of Cangqing, he even gave him his Five Elements World and Hollow Willow..."
