Chapter 927: Street Confrontation

In the Great Xiang Domain, two cities were renowned throughout the Divine Domain—Haori City and Mingyue City.

Both cities were first-rank sacred lands, immensely powerful, yet the distance between them was merely ten thousand li.

At this distance, a Formless Realm expert could travel back and forth over a dozen times within half a day.

Although each city governed several large domains, the two cities themselves were extremely close to each other.

The Zhou and Yue families had been passed down for countless generations, always united in spirit. For generations, they had intermarried, creating a complex web of relationships.

It was said that both families had produced Divine Path experts in their ancestry, with extremely deep foundations. But later, as their bloodlines gradually thinned, they slowly declined.

Of course, even so, when the two families joined forces, they were still a formidable existence.

Even super sacred lands were unwilling to offend the two families when they stood together.

At that moment, on a street in Mingyue City, a young man and a young woman were strolling about.

The girl looked around here and there, but her interest was not very high. The young man did not speak, only slowly followed by her side.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, the girl ran over and hugged the young man's arm, saying affectionately, "Brother, let me tell you something. When I was in Yihai City, I met a young man about my age, but his formation dao skills might even surpass yours! At that time, the super teleportation array was broken, and he repaired it all by himself! I'm afraid your title as the second-greatest formation genius is about to change hands!"

The young man's face showed no sign of being moved; he only said calmly, "Repairing a super teleportation array is nothing major. In the entire Divine Domain, if our Ding clan of Chaotian Palace claims third place, no one dares to claim second! Among the younger generation, aside from Zheng Xie, I, Ding Shuo, fear no one! Shiyu, you don't need to waste your efforts. Once the Mingyue City matter is settled, you obediently come back with me to Chaotian Palace and go nowhere else!"

This pair of siblings turned out to be the Ding siblings from the super sacred land Chaotian Palace! Ding Shiyu was the young girl Ye Yuan had met in Yihai City.

The Ding clan of Chaotian Palace was renowned throughout the Divine Domain for their formation dao skills; they were unquestionably second in the world!

First, naturally, was the Great衍 Divine King, Lu Linfeng, one of the Ten Divine Kings.

Before Lu Linfeng burst onto the scene, the Ding clan's formation dao skills had always been at the pinnacle of the Divine Domain.

And Zheng Xie, whom Ding Shuo mentioned, was none other than Lu Linfeng's chief disciple!

Hearing Ding Shuo's words, Ding Shiyu pouted and said discontentedly, "Hmph! Arrogant fool! Grandfather often says there is always someone better, and the sky beyond the sky; one must never be arrogant! I think you haven't taken his words to heart at all!"

Ding Shuo glanced at Ding Shiyu and said calmly, "Grandfather said that because he encountered the Great衍 Divine King! And I have never been arrogant! At least, with Zheng Xie around, I never become arrogant!"

Ding Shiyu shook off her brother's arm and said scornfully, "Stinky brother, you are arrogant! I dare say that young man's formation dao skills are certainly not inferior to yours! I really hope you meet him in the Mingyue Grand Competition, and then... hmph!"

This time, Ding Shuo did not argue.

He simply disdained to argue!

The Ding clan had a deep scholarly tradition; in terms of profound heritage, even the Great衍 Divine King could not compare!

In this Divine Domain, in a hundred thousand years, only one Great衍 Divine King had emerged.

After the Great衍 Divine King, Ding Shuo believed the Ding clan would once again ascend to the peak! His lifelong rival Zheng Xie, he would surely trample underfoot.

Grandfather's defeat by the Great衍 Divine King was a disgrace that he, Ding Shuo, had to wash away!

As for that fellow who repaired the super teleportation array, he had never taken him seriously.

As early as when he was at the seventh rank, he could already repair ninth-rank formations! Now, Ding Shuo's strength was even more unfathomable.

Repairing a teleportation array—what was so great about that?

He did not deny that the Divine Domain had many formation dao geniuses, but he, Ding Shuo, was the strongest genius!

"Ah! He, he, he..."

Ding Shiyu suddenly screamed, pointing in a direction.

Ding Shuo followed his sister's gaze and saw a young man in his twenties leading a group of people down the street.

"You mean he's the one you mentioned earlier?" Ding Shuo said, somewhat surprised.

Ding Shiyu nodded: "That's right, his name is Ye Yuan!"

Ding Shuo glanced at Ye Yuan and lost interest: "A brat who hasn't even reached the Formless Realm dares to dream of eating swan meat? Ridiculous."

Ding Shiyu's eyes then rolled, and a plan formed in her mind!

With a flicker, she dashed dozens of zhang away, heading toward Ye Yuan.

However, with a "bang," Ding Shiyu seemed to hit an invisible wall, unable to advance further.

"Ouch!"

Ding Shiyu winced in pain, her nose stinging so much that tears nearly fell. She let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground.

Ding Shuo said flatly: "You can't escape, so don't waste your efforts!"

But Ding Shiyu didn't care at all. Suddenly, she screamed at the top of her lungs: "Ye Yuan, help! Ye Yuan, help!"

Hearing someone call his name, Ye Yuan turned to look and immediately recognized Ding Shiyu, frowning slightly.

He and Ding Shiyu were merely casual acquaintances, but seeing her clearly in trouble, he couldn't stand by and do nothing.

Without knowing the full story, Ye Yuan chose to act directly!

Seeing Ye Yuan actually intervene, Ding Shuo's face darkened. He lunged toward Ding Shiyu in one stride, intending to subdue her first.

At the same time, his hands moved like phantoms, forming a formation mid-step!

Such skill drew cheers from the onlookers.

"This young man has remarkable formation mastery! With just that move, he has the bearing of a master!"

"You're blind, aren't you? This is Ding Shuo, the formation prodigy of the Ding family in Chaotian Palace. That young man is only at the peak of the Ninth Level of Heavenly Awakening—daring to clash with him is just asking for death!"

"Heh heh, now we're in for a show! With so many geniuses gathered in Brightmoon City, scenes like this will probably happen often!"

Ye Yuan was hundreds of zhang away from Ding Shiyu, while Ding Shuo was only dozens of zhang away.

Yet Ye Yuan's dash was incredibly fast, arriving after starting later!

Seeing this, everyone's expression changed. They hadn't expected this unremarkable Heavenly Awakening youth to be so fast.

Ding Shuo sneered: "Fast as you are, you'll still hit a wall!"

At the same time, his formation was complete!

Ding Shuo was extremely confident in his formation skills, believing it would make Ye Yuan suffer a great loss!

Meddling in the Ding family's affairs was simply asking for trouble!

But the next moment, he was completely stunned.

Ye Yuan ignored his formation entirely and passed straight through it!
