In just a moment, a woman hurriedly rushed out and landed in front of Ding Huan.

When the woman saw Ding Huan and Di He, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes as if she hadn't expected Ding Huan and Di He to return.

But she quickly recovered, bending slightly in a salute, "Xin Xi Er greets Brother Ding, Brother Di He, and this lady..."

Even Shi Wanrong received a polite greeting and nod.

"Xin Xi Er, Chairman Ji Sixin's Primordial Spirit was taken away by Yang Tian..."

Ding Huan saw that Ji Sixin had not inquired about her body, so he took the initiative to ask for her.

He had many things to do and couldn't waste time here.

Hearing it was about Ji Sixin, Xin Xi Er's tone became somewhat unnatural: "This matter is my fault. Back then, Yang Tian entrusted the Cosmic Silk for auction, and it was I who decided to keep it.

If I hadn't chosen to keep the Cosmic Silk, Yang Tian wouldn't have taken his anger out on the Trading Building, and the Chairman wouldn't have suffered this calamity.

The best I can do now is to run the World of Gods Trading Building well for Sister Si Xin, hoping one day to avenge the Chairman."

As Xin Xi Er said this, she let out a long sigh, her face full of regret.

Ding Huan waved his hand, "So, where is the Cosmic Silk? Show it to me."

Seeing that Ding Huan did not ask about her body, Ji Sixin also remained silent, waiting in the nurturing soul Dao Wood.

Now that they had returned to the World of Gods Trading Building, if her body was still there, it would be returned to her sooner or later, no urgency.

Xin Xi Er lowered her head, "The Cosmic Silk was auctioned and originally kept by Elder Yan Qianshan, but he was killed, and thus the whereabouts of the Cosmic Silk became unknown."

Ding Huan immediately frowned.

He knew Yan Qianshan; back in the day when he bought the Dao Pearl under the identity of Qi Sha, Yan Qianshan was the one who secretly colluded with Ju Chen against him.

But wasn't this guy expelled from the World of Gods Trading Building by Ji Sixin? How is he still here?

Even if Yan Qianshan were still here, he wouldn't have the qualification to retain the Cosmic Silk, right?

Such a treasure as the Cosmic Silk, in the World of Gods Trading Building, only two people are qualified to keep it on them.

One is Chairman Ji Sixin, and the other is Xin Xi Er right in front of him.

"Since that's the case, what about Chairman Ji's body?" Ding Huan finally asked the question Ji Sixin most wanted answered.

Xin Xi Er shook her head, "The Chairman's body was... transformed."

Transformed sounds nice, but it was actually burned.

Extreme despair made Ji Sixin unable to bear it any longer as her Primordial Spirit rushed out of the nurturing soul Dao Wood:

"Xi Er, you are the person I trust most, and you actually burned my body. You, you..."

Back then when Yang Tian took away her Primordial Spirit, the only people present were her and Xin Xi Er.

Given their relationship, under no circumstances would Xin Xi Er have burned Ji Sixin's body.

Throughout the World of Gods Trading Building, her closest confidant was Xin Xi Er, and the person she trusted most was Xin Xi Er right in front of her.

If it were the other way around, and Xin Xi Er's Primordial Spirit were taken, Ji Sixin would surely preserve Xin Xi Er's body intact.

Honestly, before returning, Ji Sixin was anxious yet confident Xin Xi Er would have kept her body.

All because of their relationship.

Reality slapped her harshly.

Ding Huan also frowned.

How could Xin Xi Er, given her relationship with Ji Sixin, ever burn Ji Sixin's body?

The physical body is extremely vital to a Daoist Practitioner, especially after achieving Saint Realm, it becomes one's own Dao Body.

Back then, he preserved Qi Xinyue's body intact, eventually aiding her in the World of Gods to perfect her Great Dao.

"Chairman..."

Xin Xi Er was also stunned.

She never imagined Ji Sixin's Primordial Spirit could return, standing complete before her.

What should absolutely not happen was happening right before her eyes.

Yang Tian's power could even let someone seize back the Primordial Spirit placed in his own world?

"You, you..." Ji Sixin was trembling with anger, her Primordial Spirit becoming unstable.

Xin Xi Er finally realized and hastily added, "Chairman, I didn't destroy your body; it was Hou Hen who did. He, he..."

Ultimately, Xin Xi Er dared not continue.

Obviously, she feared Ding Huan.

Who doesn't know of the deep connection between Hou Hen and Ding Huan?

With Ding Huan standing here now, how could she dare speak ill of Hou Hen?

Ding Huan's expression remained calm, internally filled with disbelief.

No matter how deep the grudge between Thick Trace God Emperor and Ji Sixin, he wouldn't resort to such actions.

Hou Hen, the old fox, is cunning but definitely emotionally intelligent enough not to do such a thankless thing.

If Hou Hen destroyed Ji Sixin's body, the only possible reason was that doing so brought him immense benefits.

The truth is, whether Ji Sixin's body was ruined or not has nothing to do with Hou Hen.

Upon hearing it was Hou Hen who destroyed her body, Ji Sixin felt her Primordial Spirit nearly dissolve, hastily retreating into the nurturing soul Dao Wood, utterly hopeless.

Others she could ask Ding Huan for help in avenging.

But given how close Hou Hen and Ding Huan were, should Ding Huan help, he'd probably destroy her Primordial Spirit too.

"Where is Hou Hen?" Ding Huan asked calmly.

Xin Xi Er wanted to bluff her way out, but that was impossible.

"He went out; I don't know when he'll return, as the last time he left, it took him a thousand years to come back..."

Before Xi Er finished speaking, the sound of Hou Hen's hearty laughter came through: "Sect Master, I knew you would definitely return, haha..."

Upon hearing Hou Hen's voice, Xi Er's expression became increasingly uneasy.

"Hou Hen, you've made quite some progress, reaching the Wuque Saint Realm in such a short time," Ding Huan remarked, noticing Hou Hen's realm.

Just from Hou Hen's realm, Ding Huan could tell that Ji Sixin treated the Thick Trace God Emperor well.

Otherwise, with Hou Hen's level of cultivation, it would have been hard to acquire Dao Vein upgrades in the World of Gods.

Now not only had Hou Hen upgraded, but he had also stepped into the realm of the Wuque Saint.

Logically, this would not have been possible without Ji Sixin's help.

Hou Hen sighed, "I gained many opportunities to obtain resources by staying at the Trading Building in the World of Gods. Without the Trading Building, I couldn't have reached the Wuque Saint Realm.

The Chairman helped me a lot too, but her Primordial Spirit was stripped away by Yang Tian, and I am powerless."

"Xi Er said you destroyed Chairman Si Xin's physical body?" Ding Huan asked.

Hou Hen's gaze fell on the somewhat apprehensive Xi Er, "Did you say I destroyed Chairman Ji's physical body?"

Xi Er's eyes turned slightly red, seemingly afraid to speak.

"There's nothing that can't be said." Ding Huan's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable firmness.

Xi Er took a breath before speaking, "Back then, it was him who took away Chairman's physical body; Elder Hou Hen said he was going to destroy it."

Hou Hen looked at Xi Er with contempt, "I've crossed more bridges than you've walked roads, and yet you dare to play tricks in front of me."

After saying this, the Thick Trace God Emperor directly threw out a Crystal Ball, "Fortunately, everyone has eyes to see."

Di He chuckled, "Hou Hen, brother, why did you decide to record a Crystal Ball?"

Hou Hen smiled awkwardly but did not answer.

Why did he think of doing it? He had just seen it done so many times before.

The Crystal Ball activated, showing nothing but Xi Er and Ji Sixin's lifeless body.

Xi Er's eyes were red, "Chairman, go in peace. I will definitely avenge you. Elder Hou Hen, since the Chairman's Primordial Spirit was stripped away, there's no hope for her now.

I hope the Chairman will soon reincarnate, so I plan to transform her physical body. When the time comes, you and I can perform a reincarnation ritual for her."

In a certain sense, what Xi Er said made some sense.

The absence of a physical body makes reincarnation easier for a cultivator.

With the physical body, a cultivator may hold attachments that make reincarnation difficult at times.

Hou Hen's image appeared in the footage, his eyes full of hatred, "Wait, the Chairman treated me like this, the matter of destr... no, transforming the Chairman's physical body should be left to me."

"Ah..." Xi Er looked at Hou Hen, incredulous.

Hou Hen smiled, "Though I went to see Sect Master Ding without informing the Chairman, and she had some issues with me afterward,

thankfully, for Brother Ding Huan's sake, she didn't trouble me much and treated me well. How could I be unaware of that?

On the other hand, you were like sisters with the Chairman, so transforming her body might be too distressing."

Xi Er sighed again, nodding in agreement to Hou Hen's request, and the image disappeared.

But there were no fools here.

Xi Er agreed to let Hou Hen destroy Ji Sixin's physical body because she was certain that there were tensions between Hou Hen and Ji Sixin.

Ding Huan looked at Hou Hen in confusion, "Where did your cultivation resources come from? Weren't they given to you by Chairman Si Xin?"

The Thick Trace God Emperor shook his head, "They weren't. All my cultivation resources were acquired by myself, and indeed, Chairman Ji had some issues with me.

Her issues with me were probably only known to Xi Er, but in reality, she just had them at heart and never stopped me from prospering through the Trading Building."

So that's how it was.

It seemed that Xi Er truly harbored ill intentions toward Ji Sixin, probably knowing that there was mutual dislike between Hou Hen and Ji Sixin.

"Then, is Ji Sixin's physical body still intact?" Ding Huan asked again.

The Thick Trace God Emperor raised his hand and pulled out a physical body.

It was indeed Ji Sixin's intact physical body.

Xi Er was stunned at the sight of Ji Sixin's physique.

How could this be possible?

Ji Sixin was utterly astonished as well.

Indeed, she had issues with Hou Hen, and as Hou Hen said, she had only mentioned them to Xi Er.

As for Hou Hen using the Trading Building to earn his own Dao Vein, she pretended not to notice and never made things difficult.

She never expected that not only did Hou Hen not destroy her body, but he had preserved it intact until now.

"Chairman Si Xin, you can go and restore it; we're all here," Ding Huan said.

Ding Huan was not surprised.

An old hand like the Thick Trace God Emperor wouldn't destroy Ji Sixin's body over minor grievances.

It was obvious the Thick Trace God Emperor deliberately took Ji Sixin's body to protect it.

"Yes, thank you, Elder Hou Hen." In her excitement, Ji Sixin paid no heed to the circumstance's cause and effect.

The Primordial Spirit rushed towards the body.

"Thank you, Elder Hou Hen. Without you, the Chairman's body would not have been preserved," Xi Er said, her eyes red with gratitude.

Hou Hen calmly responded, "If I were not Ding Huan's friend, you would have probably killed me already."

Xi Er looked terrified, unsure what to say at the moment.

(Good night, Taoist friends!)
