Ninth In the World

Chapter 458: Old Zhong, Well Done

Di Jiu said softly as he looked at Ye Xi, “Ye Xi, you can speak your mind. Don’t put yourself so high and wear your underpants on the outside, though. Quit thinking you can save the universe. I’d advise you to become a whore but don’t hang up a signboard. Why is there a need to delude yourself on what everyone already knows?”

Ye Xi glared at Di Jiu coldly. “Di Jiu, you killed my Junior Brother, the Tripod-Existing Elixir Dispensary’s Guild Master, Fu Jue, in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. You also imprisoned his cultivation partner, Rui Ying’er, and my daughter, Ye Mei. Now, I hope you can give me an explanation. If you can’t, I’ll have to take revenge for my daughter, even if other people claim that I’m imprisoning my guests.”

Di Jiu was dazed. He was ruthless indeed.

When had he imprisoned Rui Ying’er and his daughter, Ye Mei?

Before he could say anything, Ye Xi added, “I’ve heard of the things between you and Fu Jue. Although the Tripod-Existing Elixir Dispensary is a business of mine, I don’t approve of my Junior Brother, Fu Jue, putting pressure on you. He deserved to be killed by your Confinement Killing Array. However, Rui Ying’er and Ye Mei are innocent. I hope you can release them.”

Ye Xi immediately threw a crystal ball out.

In the crystal ball was footage of the family feast of Ye Xi, Fu Jue, and two other women. Those two women were probably Rui Ying’er and Ye Mei. During the family feast, Fu Jue said he had urgent matters to attend to and left. His cultivation partner, Rui Ying’er, went inside his Small World. Ye Mei wanted to tag along with Rui Ying’er to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, so they left the Small World.

Everyone looked at Di Jiu. They knew very well that Di Jiu had killed Fu Jue, but it had been due to his impoliteness. Right now, Ye Xi was demanding that Di Jiu release the other two, which was reasonable. Even if he imprisoned Di Jiu as a result, nobody would say that Ye Xi had done something wrong.

Di Jiu looked at the crystal ball video in astonishment. Based on his analysis of law fluctuation, the video in the crystal ball was real, which also meant that Rui Ying’er and Ye Mei had gone along with Fu Jue. In the end, Fu Jue had been killed by him.

He had indeed obtained Fu Jue’s Small World, which was full of all kinds of immortal spirit herbs and some other treasures.

However, he had not seen Rui Ying’er or Ye Mei in the Small World.

Di Jiu was aware that he could claim that he had never seen those two women, but Ye Xi would immediately make a move.

He had to kill Ye Xi for a similar reason this time, but not by force. The Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City was a place he had established, and he did not want to leave a completely unreasonable impression on other people.”read comics on our Read.live”

Di Jiu took a deep breath, stood up, and said with cupped fists, “I was indeed the one who obtained Fu Jue’s Small World, and Rui Ying’er and Ye Mei were indeed inside. Both of them knew Fu Jue had attacked me and the Peace Hotel and thought it was unimaginable. When they greeted me, I felt that this had nothing to do with them. Even though I didn’t return the Small World to Rui Ying’er, I was courteous to them.

I even invited Ye Mei over to the Brilliant Lake Palace when I came here. However, she told me that she had barely found an excuse to go out with Rui Ying’er, so she had to have fun before coming back. Otherwise, she would be pressured by her father to enter reclusive cultivation.”

Ye Xi was stunned for a moment. He had been waiting for Di Jiu to retort so that he could make an angry move. He hadn’t expected Di Jiu to admit it, but he knew he was lying. Although it was true that his daughter had entered Fu Jue’s Small World, how could she have been brought away by Fu Jue?

Some people believed Di Jiu’s words. After all, when Fu Jue had left, there had been nothing wrong with Ye Mei. She had just made an excuse to follow Rui Ying’er. This showed that Ye Mei was very likely afraid that her father would force her to enter reclusive cultivation, so she had taken a stroll outside.

Di Jiu could not allow Ye Xi to continue. Thus, he told everyone with cupped firsts once again, “Fellow cultivators, I came here today to question Palatial Lord Ye. The Gigantic Tripod Immortal City Guild Master Qu Hen was invited by Ye Xi to refine pills at the Brilliant Lake Palace for him. However, there was no news of him after that. I hope Palatial Lord Ye will provide me with an answer. Although my Elixir Association is declining now, the Guild Master is not someone one can imprison.”

Chen Zishun immediately stood up and cupped his fists tightly. How many years had it been before Di Jiu had finally asked this question on his behalf?

Back then, the Elixir Association’s Guild Master had disappeared after being invited by Ye Xi. Although everyone knew that he had been imprisoned as a labor worker by Ye Xi, the Elixir Association was so incompetent that nobody had dared to ask this question.

Everyone present knew why Ye Xi and Di Jiu wanted to tear each other apart. Ye Xi’s excuse had already been easily refuted by Di Jiu. Regardless of whether this was true or not, Ye Xi still had nothing to use against Di Jiu.

When Di Jiu asked Ye Xi this question in return, the majority of the cultivators looked at him.

Qu Hen had received Ye Xi’s invitation back then and disappeared. Everyone knew about it.

Even though Ye Xi took out the crystal ball, the video was too fuzzy for them to view. The crystal ball could not explain anything. It was also proved that the crystal ball was fake. After all, Qu Hen did not appear.

An Elixir Association’s Guild Master would come out to explain no matter what.

Naturally, nobody would speak up since the Elixir Association had not dared to do so.

The Elixir Association’s Deputy Guild Master, Chen Zishun, had found the Elixir Association’s new Alchemy Emperor, Di Jiu, after so many years and asked him to bring up this matter again.

Ye Xi’s face turned gloomy. “I did invite Guild Master Qu here back then. Everyone knows that he left afterward. I even provided a crystal ball video. Di Jiu, why did you bring this matter up today? Don’t tell me that I have to be held responsible for the disappearance of a member of your Elixir Association?”

“Ha ha ha ha...” Di Jiu laughed frantically and raised his hands, breaking the teacup in front of him into pieces with one blow. “Ye Xi, who doesn’t know that you fooled everyone else with your fake crystal ball video back then? You’ve been deceiving yourself. In fact, after my Elixir Association’s Guild Master was imprisoned by you, an Immortal Brilliant Elixir Dispensary appeared in your Brilliant Lake Palace. The day has eyes, and the night has ears. I will destroy your Brilliant Lake Palace if you don’t hand Guild Master Qu over.”

Di Jiu’s words were resolute. There was no room for a change.

Ye Xi laughed as well, his killing intent enveloping the entire place. Since he could not deal with Di Jiu by using reason, he would capture him by force.

“Di Jiu, my Brilliant Lake Palace has stood out in the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent for many years. You can’t destroy it at will.” Ye Xi’s tone was cold, and the aura around him grew stronger and stronger.

Thunder Yang Sect’s Jie Di also broke into loud laughter. “Alchemy Emperor Di wants to destroy someone else’s sect easily. Only a violent disciple like you who has harmed numerous large sects could do such a thing.”

Di Jiu interrupted him before he could finish his words and said in disdain, “Jie Di, I previously heard a piece of trash say that his disciple accidentally touched my Starry Sky Tea House’s Defense Array. How could you say I’m a violent disciple? The Thunder Yang Sect broke through someone else’s Defense Array by accidentally touching it, yet I’m a violent disciple when I do the same? Does the Thunder Yang Sect dominate the universe? You are reasonable both inside and outside? Everything is nonsense unless the Thunder Yang Sect can dominate the universe?”

Di Jiu glanced at Ye Xi and once again said mockingly, “Oh, that’s right. Palatial Lord Ye previously also said that Jie Di was reasonable. Is Palatial Lord Ye also talking nonsense?”

Ye Xi replied coldly, “Whether you are able to destroy my Brilliant Lake Palace’s sects is up to you. However, I’m afraid you don’t have the right to even have a look at my sect’s Defense Array today...”

Di Jiu and Zhong Ao had set up a level-nine Explosive Immortal Array outside the Brilliant Lake Palace. He already knew that and had broken through it. Why would he wait until now?

Di Jiu moved his mouth silently at Zhong Ao, who had been motionless all along. “Old Zhong, someone destroyed your technique. Destroy this sect and let us have a look.”

Zhong Ao snorted before grabbing numerous array flags and throwing them into the void.

Then, roars could be heard from outside, followed by powerful explosions.

Ye Xi’s expression changed. He had undoubtedly asked someone to break through that Explosive Immortal Array. Where had the sounds of the explosion come from?

Zhong Ao’s face had turned ugly as well. He had not expected that he would be unable to blast the entire Brilliant Lake Palace’s Defense Array with these level-nine Explosive Immortal Arrays and would only end up blasting the entrance.

“Not bad. You’ve actually broken through half of my Explosive Immortal Array. You have some capability.” Zhong Ao chuckled and stood up to make a move.

He had lost face in front of Di Jiu by not being able to destroy the Brilliant Lake Palace with his Explosive Immortal Array.

Di Jiu chuckled. “Old Zhong, good job. Watch me.”
