Ninth In the World

Chapter 678: A Huge Matter

“Daoist Fan, we meet again.” Tang Xitan forcefully kept the panic deep in her heart under control and greeted him. At that moment, she wondered if Fan Yuan would forcefully take her away or use some other means.

Fan Yuan smiled a little awkwardly as his eyes fell on Tang Beiwei. A hint of amazement flashed in his eyes. He naturally could see that Tang Beiwei was from the Human Clan at first glance. However, a beautiful woman like Tang Beiwei had not appeared in the Void City in many years.

“May I ask why Daoist Fan has come looking for me?” Tang Xitan asked again. She was mostly worried that Fan Yuan would take her away. If Fan Yuan did not make a move now, she would not be afraid.

Fan Yuan replied with cupped fists, “Junior Sister Xitan, you know that there is usually a large-scale auction in the Void City before the Dao Fruit Pagoda opens. Since there are important things to consult about this time, I have consulted with the Sea Clan’s Daoist Ma Jujia and the Devil Clan’s Daoist Ji Lie. Everyone agrees to move forward the auction.”

Tang Xitan said doubtfully, “I naturally have no opinion on the matter.”

She was indeed puzzled. She had no opinion on moving forward the auction. What did this have to do with her? She did not understand why Fan Yuan had brought this up to her.

Fan Yuan raised his hand to set up a restriction and said with a sigh, “Since it involves a very huge matter this time, we are using the auction to gather hundreds of clans and discuss this matter together.”

“What is it?” Tang Xitan frowned. She suspected that Fan Yuan was thinking of something.

Fan Yuan said in a dignified tone, “Junior Sister Xitan, I really can’t disclose this matter. Plus, I don’t know much about it. The most informed person is Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor San of the Devil Clan, who came back from Heaven’s Beyond. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured and is recuperating at the moment. Once his injury gets better, we will use the auction to discuss this with all the clans. He’ll explain the details.”

Tang Xitan had a strong first impression. She felt that Fan Yuan never had any good intentions, so she said without hesitation, “Since this is a huge matter, just your presence will do, Daoist Fan. The Phoenix Clan is currently recuperating and is not able to participate.”

Fan Yuan frowned and immediately responded, “Junior Sister Xitan, the Phoenix Clan is regarded as a big clan of this universe. How can your clan not participate? The Human Clan also needs to participate. I hope you will convey a message to the experts of the Human Clan. This time, the meeting is scheduled three years later and will be held in the Dragon Clan. Sacred Emperor Ao Kui of the Dragon Clan has specifically invited us, mainly because the Dragon Clan’s Celestial Sphere Coiled Dragon Fruit has matured. He has invited us to taste it.”

Tang Xitan sneered. Why would the Dragon Clan be that nice? When she was about to speak, Tang Beiwei, who was standing aside, suddenly said, “I represent the Human Clan and I will participate in this conference.”

Tang Xitan looked at Tang Beiwei in confusion. Although this was her first time meeting Tang Beiwei, she had heard of her. Tang Beiwei would never collude with Fan Yuan to deal with her. Was there perhaps something else Tang Xitan was unaware of? She didn’t even know this was Tang Beiwei’s first time in the Void City. Therefore, how would she know?

Upon hearing Tang Beiwei say that she would represent the Human Clan, Fan Yuan looked at her in confusion. “You can represent the Human Clan?”

Even though Tang Beiwei had a good cultivation, she was only at the early-stage Primordial Chaos. Rumor had it that the Sacred Dao World had been so prosperous recently that there were even Dao Integration experts in it, not to mention late-stage Primordial Chaos experts. Why would Tang Beiwei, an early-stage Primordial Chaos expert, represent the Human Clan?

Fan Yuan’s question made Tang Beiwei frown slightly. Before Tang Beiwei could speak, Tang Xitan said, “Daoist Fan, Junior Sister Beiwei can indeed represent the Human Clan.”

Fan Yuan did not say another word. He knew very well that the Phoenix Clan and the Human Clan had a good relationship. Thus, he nodded. “In that case, I will leave. In three years, we will meet in the Dragon Clan when the auction time is announced.”

After saying this, Fan Yuan turned and left. Upon seeing that Fan Yuan had done nothing to her or even threatened her, Tang Xitan felt increasingly more shocked. She finally could not help but call out to Fan Yuan and say, “Daoist Fan, may I ask if Junior Brother Di has returned? Where is he now?”

Fan Yuan answered with a bitter smile, “Junior Sister Xitan, you know that Daoist Di would definitely not be with me, so I don’t really know where he is now.”

Fan Yuan knew exactly what Tang Xitan meant. Tang Xitan was worried that he would make a move on her and the Phoenix Clan. The current strength of the Phoenix Clan had indeed declined. If the Demon Clan really wanted to make a move, they would indeed be crushed.

If Di Jiu was killed, he would not be polite. Even if he did not kill Tang Xitan because of the conference involving the hundred clans, he would definitely make the Phoenix Clan shed a lot of blood.

However, he really dared not do anything now. Before Di Jiu showed up, he absolutely did not dare touch Tang Xitan.

To be honest, when he had discovered that Di Jiu had killed Guang Mingzi, Fan Yuan had not taken it seriously. Given Guang Mingzi’s ability, Di Jiu would not have been so arrogant if he had been unable to kill him.

Later on, Di Jiu had broken the ancient eight-trigram array pattern alone, which had scared Fan Yuan. He believed that Di Jiu was definitely not simple. His techniques weren’t simple.

What had happened in the end had confirmed his fears. He’d speculated that Ji Hongsen would cause trouble for no reason, but he had not been afraid. What he had not expected was that Ji Hongsen would have a level-nine divine array disc. If Gou Zibi had not made a move all of a sudden, Fan Yuan might have been defeated by the level-nine divine array disc.

One of Di Jiu’s terrifying aspects was that he absolutely had known in advance that he could not obtain the Green Lotus. Otherwise, Fan Yuan believed that Di Jiu would not have given up on it and left. How had Di Jiu known in advance something that everyone else had not?

They hadn’t been afraid of Di Jiu’s Confinement Killing Array. After all, if he could set it up, his Confinement Killing Array could not stop the joined forces of seven or eight Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors.

His second most terrifying aspect was that he had guessed that only three people would finally come out. Not only had his Confinement Killing Array made Wu Luo stay behind, but it had also affected them.

If such a person did not die, how could Fan Yuan dare touch Tang Xitan?

Fan Yuan had overestimated Di Jiu, who had known in advance that the Green Lotus could not be obtained. As for the fact that only three people would be coming out in the end, Di Jiu had not expected that. Di Jiu had wanted to make use of the Confinement Killing Array to confine a group of Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors and suppress two of them before letting a batch go.

After hearing Fan Yuan’s words, Tang Xitan became increasingly more puzzled. Could Di Jiu be really fine? She knew that she could not be anxious about Di Jiu now. She had to ask Tang Beiwei why she wanted to participate in the Dragon Clan’s Hundred Clan Conference without even asking.

...

Di Jiu did not return to the Void City. At that moment, he was on a barren void planet. He was sure that Fan Yuan and Ma Jujia would not dare make a move on Tang Xitan as long as he did not show up.

Once he appeared in the Void City, it would be hard to say. Fan Yuan and Ma Jujia both knew that he had Ji Hongsen’s ring. If these two guys got mad and joined forces with the other Primordial Chaos experts to besiege him, he would really have a hard time.

In the meantime, Di Jiu had found a barren planet and begun to improve his strength.

After obtaining so many Dao fruits and Ji Hongsen’s ring, he would be a fool not to make use of them.

Di Jiu did not refine Ji Hongsen, Wu Luo, or Guang Mingzi’s rings first. Instead, he entered the Ninth World and stood underneath the Chaos Green Lotus.

In his world, the Chaos Green Lotus could not escape, no matter how impressive it was.

Di Jiu opened his palm and the Green Lotus let out a tremble as if it wanted to escape. In his Ninth World, the Green Lotus seemed to be dragged by invisible forces before it landed in front of Di Jiu.

Di Jiu took a deep breath. At that moment, he could even sense that his Spiritual Sea was much clearer. Upon looking at the Green Lotus in front of him, Di Jiu secretly thought that this was truly good stuff.
