Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 350 - 345 Qing Yu’s Call for Help
Mu Chengzi awkwardly smiled and was about to speak when Ding Huan's voice came through, "Ga Daoist and Mu Daoist have arrived, then let's depart."
Having done what needed to be done and given all necessary explanations, Ding Huan decided to head to the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield.
At the gate of the Blue Star Sect, Ding Huan summoned his spaceship and was saying goodbye to Liu Yinzhu, Hu Wuxin, Yan Mei, and others.
A woman staggered over, and before she even reached them, she fell to the ground with a thud, "Sect Master Ding, please save Brother Lou Buzhi."
Ding Huan looked at the woman before him and said coldly, "I really didn't expect you, a mere maid, to have survived until today. You're not a disciple of my Blue Star Sect, yet you have managed to cultivate the Little Universe Technique."
This woman was none other than Guan Pou's maid, Qing Yu—a person of whom Ding Huan had heard quite a bit from Pang Xiangxiang.
The woman was highly scheming and had even managed to survive in the presence of powerful figures by squeezing in between Yi Jiang and Void God Realm powerhouses.
"Are you talking about Lou Buzhi? What's happened to him?" Liu Yinzhu, however, picked up that Qing Yu was referring to Lou Buzhi.
Lou Buzhi was indeed a talent belonging to the Blue Star Sect; after joining, his cultivation progressed swiftly, and he had achieved Star Storage in a very short time.
Moreover, Lou Buzhi was the only alchemist in the Blue Star Sect; only after he joined did the Dan Sect of the Blue Star Sect gradually improve.
The medicine pills crafted by Lou Buzhi greatly enhanced the sect's system, increasing the cultivation speed and spirit of the lower-ranking disciples.
Before Lou Buzhi's arrival at the Blue Star Sect, the necessary medicine pills all had to be purchased, and some Spirit Grass had to be paid in the process.
The sect had to exchange a lot of their precious Spirit Grasses for very common medicine pills.
Ding Huan was unaware of this, but Liu Yinzhu, the true ruling Sect Master of the Blue Star Sect, was all too aware.
Tears streaked Qing Yu's face. "I know I was previously too mean-spirited and envious. Whatever punishment the Sect Master bestows upon me, I will accept without complaint.
But Brother Lou Buzhi is truly innocent, and his life hangs by a thread. I implore the Sect Master to extend a helping hand."
"Sect Master, Lou Buzhi is very important to our sect," Liu Yinzhu carefully put in a word.
Yet Ding Huan didn't quite trust Qing Yu. Can a dog really stop eating feces?
Although Lou Buzhi appeared harmless, he thought through problems much more than most cultivators; it was unlikely he would get involved with someone like Qing Yu.
If Lou Buzhi couldn't even control himself around someone like Qing Yu, then he wouldn't be able to emerge from the many who offered treasures in the Four-direction Star Land, let alone successfully make it to the Triple Heaven Star Land.
The only thing that puzzled him was how Qing Yu knew the Little Universe Technique. Apart from Lou Buzhi, who else would dare to teach her the Little Universe Technique?
He didn't speak but instead directly used the Big Calculation Skill to predict the fates of Qing Yu and Lou Buzhi.
His Big Calculation Skill was not only for predicting the future; he could also deduce the past in an instant.
The individual who had ambushed him in Boundless City was beyond his predictive powers, probably because their cultivation far exceeded his own.
But how many years had Qing Yu been practicing the Great Universe Technique? She was now only a cultivator at the Star Storage Realm.
Here she was, standing before him, practicing his Little Universe Technique. If he couldn't deduce it, then the Big Calculation Skill would be a lame duck.
This woman managed to cultivate to the Star Storage Realm outside the Blue Star Sect in such a short period, which was indeed intriguing.
Under the Big Calculation Skill, a clear image appeared in Ding Huan's mind.
Deep in a fiery-red Rock Valley, Lou Buzhi was digging something from the rock wall when Qing Yu came running out of the depths in panic...
Lou Buzhi was shocked and immediately ceased his actions.
Seeing Lou Buzhi, Qing Yu anxiously said, "Big Brother, you can't go in there, it's dangerous..."
"Who are you?" Lou Buzhi looked at Qing Yu very warily.
After a glance at Lou Buzhi, Qing Yu asked excitedly, "Are you Lou Buzhi? A disciple from the Green Pill Sect, right?"
Lou Buzhi was unaware that this woman had a very cunning mind. After having a feud with Ding Huan, she had investigated everyone related to Ding Huan.
Lou Buzhi, having a close relationship with Ding Huan, naturally fell within her main scope of investigation.
Hearing Qing Yu's words, Lou Buzhi grew even more puzzled, "Yes, but I'm no longer with the Green Pill Sect; I've joined the Blue Star Sect."
"My name is Qing Yu, Guan Pou is my mistress..." As Qing Yu spoke, she watched Lou Buzhi.
Lou Buzhi indeed was unaware of the sordid details that had unfolded. Hearing that she was Guan Pou's maid, he immediately relaxed his guarded expression.
Qing Yu was unknown to him, but he knew Guan Pou—she was like his senior sister.
But before he could ask any questions, Qing Yu struck him on the forehead with her palm.
Lou Buzhi, despite making rapid progress after changing his Cultivation Technique and reaching the Star Storage Realm, devoted most of his time to alchemy. Hence, while his Alchemy Dao soared, his cultivation had plateaued.
Now, taken by surprise by Qing Yu's ambush, he failed to react and was knocked unconscious by her.
After knocking out Lou Buzhi, Qing Yu did not kill him. Instead, she imprisoned him and threw him into a small world.
This made Ding Huan reflect deeply—the maid indeed had some opportunities, owning a small world while only at the Star Storage Realm.
"Who taught you the Little Universe Technique?" Ding Huan stopped his deductions and asked Qing Yu coldly.
He had earlier assumed Qing Yu had learned the Little Universe Technique from Lou Buzhi, but after his calculation, he found out that Qing Yu had already cultivated the technique to the Star Storage Realm by the time she met Lou Buzhi.
Qing Yu's face turned pale, sweat dripped down, and fear filled her eyes.
Ding Huan knew all too well that despite her fearful expression, this woman wasn't the least bit scared; even his question was within her calculations.
Given his status as the Sect Master of the Blue Star Sect, how could he not discern that she was practicing the Little Universe Technique?
Since Qing Yu knew he could recognize her practicing the Little Universe Technique and yet she approached him, everything was calculated.
Ding Huan couldn't be bothered to press further, but Qing Yu answered on her own, her voice trembling, "It was Brother Lou Buzhi who taught me. I, I..."
Actually, even if Qing Yu hadn't spoken up, the people around could all have guessed.
Qing Yu had developed mutual affection with Lou Buzhi, and then, despite violating Sect rules, Lou Buzhi risked teaching her the Little Universe Technique.
From this, it was clear that Lou Buzhi's feelings for Qing Yu were profoundly deep.
Qing Yu's affection for Lou Buzhi was equally sincere, or else she wouldn't have come to the Blue Star Sect at this time.
It must have been because Lou Buzhi was in danger and Qing Yu couldn't save him that she had come to seek help.
It's important to realize, that this was done at the risk of her own life.
Even Liu Yinzhu, Sang Yuhe, and Yi Qianxing felt some sympathy for Qing Yu.
Ding Huan sighed and spoke indifferently, "Do you know who destroyed the Dual Soul Sect?"
"Yes, it was you, Sect Master…" Qing Yu's voice trembled with fear.
Ding Huan continued, "Then do you know who wiped out Jiuyuan?"
"It was also you, Sect Master." Qing Yu seemed to have given up, and her words were now devoid of the previous fright.
"One more question, do you know who drove out the God?" Ding Huan looked at Qing Yu.
Qing Yu bit her lip, "Still you, Sect Master."
Ding Huan sneered, "So many powerful Earth Immortal cultivators, Sects with profound foundations, races—I can destroy all of them. What makes you think that you, a mere Cultivator of the Star Storage Realm, can play me like I'm in the palm of your hand?"
Qing Yu spoke with a frightened and uneasy tone, "Sect Master, if you kill me, I will have no complaints or regrets. I have wronged you before and have been jealous of you.
Please, I beg you to save Lou Buzhi. As long as Lou Buzhi is safe, I will accept whatever punishment you choose without any grievances."
Indeed, Qing Yu was genuinely filled with fright and unease. According to the plot she had devised, Ding Huan should now be asking for Lou Buzhi's whereabouts.
But to this point, Ding Huan seemed to only be beating around the bush.
With a flick of his hand, a segment of a finger fell from Qing Yu's hand. Before the finger even touched the ground, Ding Huan had already snatched a ring from it.
Seeing this scene, Qing Yu trembled all over, this time without pretense. Her complexion truly turned ashen.
"Are you very afraid?" Ding Huan asked Qing Yu.
Qing Yu was indeed shaking; her heart filled with boundless regret.
Just as Ding Huan said, if he could annihilate or expel the Dual Soul Sect, Jiuyuan, and the God Tribe, what made her, a Cultivator in the Star Storage Realm, think she could manipulate Ding Huan?
She had escaped from the hands of the strong several times before, perhaps giving her the illusion that she could trust her own scheme even more.
At this moment, she remembered when Ding Huan was still a mortal, leading everyone through the Grand Ravine Canyon, able to stealthily assassinate Elder Qu Yueshan even with his mortal body.

Ding Huan was no longer the mortal he used to be and could even be considered the foremost person in the Triple Heaven Star Land. Could she still outmaneuver him?
Or rather, was it even her place to outmaneuver him?
She was wrong.
If regret could destroy a Sect, then all the Sects in the Triple Heaven Star Land would have been annihilated by Qing Yu by now.
It was her overwhelming desire to join the Blue Star Sect that led her to take such a risk.
Because after her Cultivation of the Little Universe Technique reached the Star Storage Realm, she had no further techniques to advance her Cultivation.
Without joining the Blue Star Sect, she would be forever stuck at the Star Storage Realm unless she switched to another Cultivation Technique.
She couldn't accept it. The Little Universe Technique was the strongest technique in the world, and if Qing Yu was to cultivate, she wanted to cultivate the strongest.
As long as Ding Huan was tricked into going to Red Valley, there was a high probability he would fall, and then she could easily join the Blue Star Sect.
Because she was Lou Buzhi's Taoist couple, and if Ding Huan fell while trying to save Lou Buzhi, she couldn't be blamed.
Even if Ding Huan did not fall, she still had the chance to join the Blue Star Sect.
Based on her understanding of Ding Huan, he would certainly not harshly punish the widow of a friend, and she was precisely Lou Buzhi's widow.
But now, things were clearly out of her control. Up to now, Ding Huan had not asked for even a bit of information about Lou Buzhi.
The only thing he asked about was where she had learned her Little Universe Technique.
In the midst of her fearful unease, Ding Huan unraveled Qing Yu's small world.
With a sweep of his hand, the unconscious Lou Buzhi was thrown to the ground by Ding Huan.
In just a moment, Lou Buzhi awoke. The first thing he saw was Qing Yu, and he immediately leaped up, "Wretched woman, dare to plot against your lord Lou Buzhi…"
But in the next instant, he saw Ding Huan and Liu Yinzhu, among others, and it took him a while to ask, "Sect Master, what's going on?"
"Hehe, this woman claimed you were her Taoist couple and that you were in trouble. She wanted to come to the Sect so that the Sect Master could save you. As it turned out, the Sect Master saw through her deception and rescued you from her small world.
Tsk tsk, it's pretty good for a True Pill realm to have a Storage Bag, but she had a small world, how impressive."
Yan Mei snickered honestly from the side. He knew more about Qing Yu and also sensed that something was off.
"Spare me, Sect Master, I will tell you who taught me the Little Universe Technique…" Qing Yu knew that the tide had turned against her.
She had survived certain death multiple times, but she hadn't expected this time she would overplay her hand.
Ding Huan said disdainfully, "Was it taught by Mo Huaping? Who else could it be?"
The fear in Qing Yu's eyes was impossible to hide. She just couldn't understand how Ding Huan knew everything.
With a wave of his hand, Ding Huan sent a Wind Blade that was quickly followed by a Fireball, reducing Qing Yu to nothingness.
This woman, if left alive, would be a great disaster.
