Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation

Seeing it was Ding Huan, the disciple from Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect couldn't help but shudder.

Although Ding Huan was marked for death by Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect, that was supposed to happen only after the current Immortal Sect Tournament.

During the Tournament, the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect could not harm him.

Platform number twenty announced the task was to craft a Water Arrow Immortal Talisman, and then the contestants would have their talismans attack each other.

The disciple from Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect dared not delay, quickly grabbed the materials, and began crafting the talisman.

Ding Huan also took out his materials and crafted his Water Arrow Immortal Talisman at a leisurely pace.

Both finished their crafting almost simultaneously and then launched their Water Arrow Immortal Talismans at the same time.

In such competitions, if a cultivator finished crafting earlier while the other contestant had not finished crafting theirs, and managed to launch an attack, the unfinished contestant would be deemed to have lost.

The two Water Arrow Immortal Talismans continuously shot out water arrows. Eventually, the talisman of the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect disciple exhausted its Dao Rhythm and disintegrated into ashes.

Ding Huan's talisman lasted a few breaths longer. In this Combat Talisman duel, Ding Huan won.

Seeing Ding Huan win another match, the watching cultivators grew even more excited.

"Do you think Lao Liu could also take first place in the Battle Array and Combat Talismans?"

"That's impossible, isn't it? Look at his Battle Array performances; they're always narrow victories, and the Combat Talismans seem just passable..."

"You know nothing. He's deliberately hiding his strength. Otherwise, do you think he could always be so lucky?"

...

Regardless of whether the onlookers knew he was concealing his strength, Ding Huan no longer quickly defeated his opponents.

Even if some people guessed he was hiding his strength, as long as he didn't defeat his opponents instantly like in the Fighting Platform matches, he wouldn't lose his chance to accumulate points.

The first reason was that most contestants only judged who was strong and who was weak by observing the matches.

Secondly, those who joined the competition all had some capabilities.

Capable people are naturally proud. Even if they suspected there might be trickery, they would still want to try and see if they could defeat their opponent.

When Ding Huan returned to the Battle Array area, a veiled woman was already waiting outside his tent.

Ding Huan nodded in approval at Fu Tanling's efficiency. Gong Yuxin arrived even earlier than him.

"Immortal Gong, since you're here, let's go inside and talk," Ding Huan said, smiling broadly and gesturing with his hand.

Gong Yuxin's eyes were cold and her entire demeanor was unapproachable, "Speak now, or I'm leaving."

Had Ding Huan not seen her disgraceful behavior with his own eyes, he would have really thought this woman was proud and aloof.

Ding Huan said indifferently, "If Immortal Gong doesn't care about her reputation, you can leave now. I won't mind."

Gong Yuxin frowned slightly. Seeing Ding Huan's calm expression, she took a breath and walked into Ding Huan's tent.

Just as Ding Huan was about to set up a prohibition, she coldly said, "No need for a prohibition; I, Gong Yuxin, have nothing to hide."

"Oh, I returned to the Immortal Sect's premises after the competition a few days ago, and unfortunately, I saw..."

Before Ding Huan could finish speaking, Gong Yuxin was the first to set up a prohibition around Ding Huan's tent, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"My expression skills aren't great, and my means of writing erotic novels are mediocre; better to let you see for yourself." After speaking, Ding Huan tossed a crystal ball to Gong Yuxin.

Gong Yuxin's face turned white as she saw herself and Ren Xian rolling around like pigs in the room in the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect's premises.

Ding Huan didn't continue speaking but simply sat down and poured himself a cup of Immortal Spirit Tea, drinking leisurely.

"Crack!" Gong Yuxin crushed the crystal ball.

Taking a deep breath, Gong Yuxin removed her veil. She looked at Ding Huan and slowly said, "If you need me, I can do it now."

Ding Huan almost spat out his tea—he couldn't believe this woman thought he had called her here for that!

What a thought process...

And this was still the Battle Array competition area.

Ding Huan almost blurted out that he wasn't that desperate, but remembering he still needed her help, he chuckled,

"Don't worry; I, Ding Huan, always appreciate adult beauty. You and Ren Xian are a well-matched couple; I won't disturb you."

"Are you Ding Huan?" Gong Yuxin stared at him wide-eyed.

Ding Huan knew, of course.

Ding Huan laughed, "What do you think?"

He wasn't afraid of this woman exposing him, as long as Gong Yuxin was still rational, she wouldn't resort to reporting his identity.

Since he mentioned his name because he was going to inquire about Wen Zhixi, she would guess it sooner or later.

So why hide it?

"Are you asking about Wen Zhixi?" Sure enough, right after Ding Huan registered, Gong Yuxin understood his intention.

"Exactly, I believe you won't hide it," Ding Huan said.

Ding Huan indeed believed that Gong Yuxin would not hide anything from him, since he held a leverage over her. If Gong Yuxin dared to hide anything, he would reveal the Crystal Ball, and then Gong Yuxin would be completely finished.

Gong Yuxin took a deep breath and said, "It was Sect Master Li Zhen who, upon hearing from Hua Xiaoqian that Sister Zhixi knew the Void Array Patterns, started investigating Sister Zhixi and eventually found out that Sister Zhixi comes from the Gray Sea.

The Sect Master made two demands, first, that Sister Zhixi teach the Void Array Patterns, and second, the details of how she crossed the Gray Sea.

Sister Zhixi said the Void Array Patterns were taught to her by her elder brother and she couldn't possibly teach them to anyone else. As for crossing the Gray Sea, it was because her elder brother possessed a Level 9 Teleportation Immortal Talisman.

Sect Master was furious and forcefully made a move on Sister Zhixi. To his surprise, after he made his move, he discovered that Sister Zhixi was an Immortal Spirit Body.

The Sect Master immediately wanted to send Sister Zhixi away, and the person he wanted to send her to was Ren Xian, because the Panxing Dao Sect had something she needed.

Sister Zhixi was then placed under house arrest within the Immortal Sect, and since I was about to participate in the Battle Array, I went to ask Sister Zhixi to teach me Array Dao.

Sister Zhixi agreed to teach me the Void Array Patterns, only hoping that I could help her escape and also help her obtain the Ten Refining God Soul Technique..."

"Has she already left?" Ding Huan asked.

Gong Yuxin nodded. "Yes, I helped her escape and also gave her the Ten Refining God Soul Technique.

As a return, she gave me the Cultivation Technique Jade Scroll of the Void Array Patterns and also gave me a Spiritual Blue Fruit and a Spiritual Artifact."

Ding Huan breathed a sigh of relief, so the Spiritual Blue Fruit was given by Gong Yuxin.

Ding Huan had studied the Nine Court Immortal Law and was cultivating the Great Universe Technique himself; he could feel that Gong Yuxin was not lying.

That Wen Zhixi could escape and even take out a Spiritual Artifact indicated that Wen Zhixi's Nine Lian Seal had not been discovered, it must have been hidden in her Sea of Consciousness.

"Thank you, Gong Immortal Daughter," Ding Huan bowed to Gong Yuxin.

Gong Yuxin, who was deeply wary of Ding Huan, now found herself at a loss as Ding Huan bowed to her.

Ding Huan took out a Crystal Ball and crushed it in front of Gong Yuxin, "This is the image-holding crystal ball I've kept; I've destroyed it now."

"Thank you, Brother Ding," Gong Yuxin truly feared that Ding Huan still had such a crystal ball; if he did, her life would be in peril.

Now she could only trust Ding Huan's words.

Ding Huan sincerely said, "Gong Immortal Daughter, if you have any questions about the Void Array Patterns, you can always come to me.

Also, I must say, Ren Xian is definitely not a good match for you."

Gong Yuxin stared at Ding Huan in shock; the Void Array Patterns were actually taught by Ding Huan.

Wen Zhixi only said the Void Array Patterns were taught by her elder brother; she had not expected that the teacher was Ding Huan standing right in front of her.

Her main reason to help Wen Zhixi was not out of sympathy or outrage but for the Void Array Patterns.

As the Void Array Patterns were too important for her.

"Thank you, Brother Ding," Gong Yuxin knew she couldn't afford to miss this opportunity.

Ding Huan nodded, saying nothing.

Suddenly Gong Yuxin spoke, "Brother Ding, if you encounter Ren Xian in the arena, can you help me kill him?"

Ding Huan was taken aback, "Is this something Ren Xian is forcing you to do?"

Gong Yuxin shook her head, "No, it was voluntary, I even gave him the Spiritual Blue Fruit. I did so because there is something on him that I must retrieve; it belongs to my Gong family."

Ding Huan looked at Gong Yuxin, thinking to himself, this woman is also a fierce character.

Being the Holy Daughter, for the sake of one item, she did not hesitate to get involved with Ren Xian, and even contradicted the Sect Master.

Seemingly sensing the puzzlement and slight anomaly in Ding Huan's eyes, Gong Yuxin self-mockingly smiled,

"As the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect's Holy Daughter, I have always had men; it's just that outsiders do not know."

Ding Huan was speechless, if you're supposed to have men, then what the hell is a Holy Daughter?

However, he was too lazy to concern himself with these matters and asked instead, "What is it?"

"It's a lamp," Gong Yuxin said.

Ding Huan frowned; he had checked Ren Xian's ring last time, and there was no lamp-like object in it.

Gong Yuxin continued, "That lamp is a treasure of my Gong family, taken away by the Panxing Dao Sect, later given to Ren Xian by the sect's sect master of Panxing Dao Sect; that Ren Xian is actually an illegitimate child of the Panxing Dao Sect."

Ding Huan felt something was amiss, "Gong Immortal Daughter, if I am not mistaken, the sect master of Panxing Dao Sect is named Gong Qilin—is he also a Gong?"

Gong Yuxin said through clenched teeth, "He was an adopted son brought in by my great-grandfather; the Gong surname was given by my great-grandfather.

Yet, he is nothing but an ungrateful wolf; during the advancement to Luo Tian Immortal, he colluded with external forces to plot against my Gong family.

My Gong family was eradicated in that battle, and I was lucky to have escaped with my life. Now I want to retrieve my Gong family's property."

"One more thing, does Hua Xiaoqian know about the matter with Wen Zhixi?"

"She probably knows a bit; the Sect Master sent her to do tasks at the Immortal Court, and she hasn't returned till now."

"Alright, considering you saved Wen Zhixi, I'll grant your request this time."

"Thank you, Brother Ding." Gong Yuxin bowed and then left Ding Huan's tent.

Ding Huan watched as Gong Yuxin disappeared from sight, feeling a deep sense of emotion.

These Immortal Sect Disciples would do anything for their own things or to enhance their strength.
