Ninth In the World

Chapter 667: I Promise They Can’t Go

“That’s right, it’s the Chaos Green Lotus. Even though it is considered one of the top 10 connate Spirit Roots, its value far surpasses the value of the other nine. I invited everyone over for the Chaos Green Lotus,” Ji Hongsen said.

Since Di Jiu had the Ninth Dao Law and the Sacred Yin Pearl, he was not very interested in the Chaos Green Lotus. However, he realized that while everyone was in a daze after hearing about the Chaos Green Lotus, Tang Xitan, who was prepared to leave, also breathed heavily.

Di Jiu could understand what they were thinking. Would he have made his current achievements if he had not obtained the Ninth Dao Law? Everyone treated the Chaos Green Lotus like the Ninth Dao Law that had helped him. No matter who obtained the Chaos Green Lotus, their future achievements would be inestimable.

Di Jiu was silently glad about his luck. If he had not been lucky enough to obtain the Ninth Dao Law, how would he have had the chance to sit with these people? Since he had seen it, he could not let the Green Lotus slip by.

Ji Hongsen deliberately stopped and sneered at everyone’s expression.

After a few seconds passed and everyone calmed down, Ji Hongsen added, “Fellow Daoists, since the Chaos Green Lotus grows in a very strange place, I can’t do anything alone. Therefore, I need everyone’s cooperation to obtain the Chaos Green Lotus.”

“Insular Lord Ji, I have a few questions. First, where does the Chaos Green Lotus grow? Second, since there is only one of it but so many of us, who will take it?” a withered, yellow-faced man said with cupped fists.

If this person had not spoken, Di Jiu would have been unaware of his presence. Once he spoke, Di Jiu could sense his powerful cultivation. He was definitely a late-stage Primordial Chaos expert.

Furthermore, this person had a somewhat strange nomological fluctuation around him, as though he was carrying a kind of law that stripped away life-force. As long as one was around him, this kind of nomological aura could sweep away all life-force.

“Ha ha... I’ll explain Daoist Wu’s words. This place is not in the void, but in the Void Castle. The Chaos Green Lotus grows underneath the Void Castle...”

Everyone looked at Ji Hongsen suspiciously. If the Chaos Green Lotus was really underneath the Void Castle, would Ji Hongsen still bring them along to strike rich with him?

The Demon Clan’s Sacred Emperor Fan Yuan faintly said, “I’m aware of the Chaos Green Lotus. In the past, after the Wing Clan’s Cang Luo leaked the news on the Chaos Green Lotus, the Demon Clan’s Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor Zhuge Zhichen and the Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors of other huge clans went to search for it. However, there was no news about it. If the Chaos Green Lotus is real, it will certainly not be underneath a Void Castle.”

Everyone was aware of what was going on. If the Chaos Green Lotus was underneath the Void Castle, would the Wing Clan’s Cang Luo still have waited until now for everyone to discuss how to obtain it? He probably would have taken the Chaos Green Lotus long ago.

Ji Hongsen said with a bitter smile, “The Chaos Green Lotus is indeed underneath a Void Castle. As for what Daoist Fan said, I believe that as well. Everyone must have heard that a connate treasure will conceal itself, right? As the best one among the top 10 Spirit Roots, once the Chaos Green Lotus is disturbed, it will naturally conceal itself.

I’ve heard that Primordial Chaos experts from the few huge clans had been searching for the Chaos Green Lotus back then. I guess that those Primordial Chaos experts must have disturbed the Chaos Green Lotus and ended up not obtaining it, causing the Chaos Green Lotus to conceal itself. However, there has been no news on the Daoists who experienced this. Thus, everyone can only guess whether that’s really the case. I happened to hear the news on the Chaos Green Lotus by chance. As for the entire process, it’s unrelated to this operation. I won’t talk about it.”

“Insular Lord Ji, I believe your words. Tell us what we should do. We’ll listen to you.” A mid-stage Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor immediately licked his boots.

Ji Hongsen gestured with his hands. “Of course, I’m not asking everyone to listen to me. Since this is a cooperation, everyone naturally has to work together. As for the distribution of the Chaos Green Lotus, I think that we will distribute it according to the amount of work done by each of you. Those who disagree with my suggestion can step forward and speak up.”

Nobody disagreed with Ji Hongsen’s suggestion, so he nodded his head satisfactorily and said, “In that case, we’ll go there now.”

However, Di Jiu saw Tang Xitan turn somewhat pale. The fluctuation of her Heaven Earth Law was also somewhat chaotic.

When Ji Hongsen was done, he stood up and led the way out of the hall. Everyone followed him.

Nobody cowered in front of the Chaos Green Lotus. Besides, everyone was aware that it would be a dead-end even if they cowered now.

Di Jiu and Tang Xitan walked further behind. Di Jiu took the initiative to control the nomological array flags and set up a Defense Array around them. He then sent a voice transmission to her. “Senior Sister Xitan, I feel like you seem troubled.”

Tang Xitan had not dared to send a voice transmission to Di Jiu. Nobody knew he had sent her a voice transmission, but if she sent a voice transmission to him, she was sure she would be discovered.

However, she immediately heard another voice transmission. “Senior Sister Xitan, just send a voice transmission. I’ve set up a shifting Isolation Divine Array. Nobody here has found out yet.”

Tang Xitan looked at Di Jiu in amazement. How powerful was he to be able to set up a shifting Isolation Divine Array without any array flags?

She very soon realized that now was not the time to be thinking about this. She hurriedly sent a voice transmission to Di Jiu. “Brother Di, even though the Chaos Green Lotus is good, I don’t wish to go.”

Di Jiu understood what Tang Xitan was thinking. Her cultivation was nothing here, and she would very likely lose her life if she went. Furthermore, even if she did not lose her life, she would not get a share of the Chaos Green Lotus. Even though Ji Hongsen had spoken nicely and the Chaos Green Lotus had really appeared, things would not be so nice later on.

In fact, Di Jiu did not plan on letting Tang Xitan go, as she would be courting death if she went there. There was definitely more than one cultivator who thought the same way as Tang Xitan. Unfortunately, Ji Hongsen had control over this place. As a result, they could only dream about leaving after coming.

“There’s also another reason I’m not going. Do you know that withered, yellow-faced man? His name is Wu Luo, and he has a very mysterious background. He cultivated the Heaven Earth Wither Dao, and his nickname is Exterminator. The word ‘merciless’ can no longer be used to describe him, and his ruthlessness is completely indescribable. Based on what I know, if anyone offends him, he exterminates their clan.

It doesn’t matter if I die. If I join in, I’m sure even if he obtained the Chaos Green Lotus, he would definitely exterminate the Phoenix Clan after killing me.” Tang Xitan’s tone carried a hint of fear.

Di Jiu took a deep breath. He had seen too many vengeful people, but it was the first time he’d heard of someone like Wu Luo.

However, Di Jiu very soon guessed that his ruthlessness was very likely related to his cultivation technique.

By now, Ji Hongsen had led them to a huge square where a flying boat had stopped. He led them aboard the flying boat before turning his head to say, “Everyone, let’s move together. This flying boat can arrive there in the shortest time possible.”

Di Jiu once again slowed down his pace and sent a voice transmission to Tang Xitan. “Senior Sister Xitan, do you have any top-notch escape talismans?”

“I have one, but I’m sure that once I activate it, I’ll be captured back by Wu Luo or Ji Hongsen before I reach a safe zone,” Tang Xitan said firmly.

Di Jiu chuckled. “Senior Sister Xitan, don’t worry. When I say we can leave later, you will immediately activate the talisman and escape. Don’t worry, I assure you that nobody will capture you back.”

“Ah...” Tang Xitan, who was shocked, looked at Di Jiu in confusion. “What about you?”

Di Jiu looked at Ji Hongsen and Wu Luo ahead. “When there’s good stuff like the Chaos Green Lotus on the line, how could I miss this chance? You don’t have to worry about Wu Luo and Ji Hongsen finding your Phoenix Clan. I assure you that they can’t go.”

Di Jiu knew what he was talking about and was sure a fight would occur eventually.

“As long as I leave, I will not be afraid of them.” Tang Xitan was worried that the Phoenix Clan did not know about this. Since he had let her go back to the Phoenix Clan, Wu Luo could not plot against her clan.

“That’ll do,” Di Jiu said without hesitation.
