Ninth In the World

Chapter 799: What Are You?

Xian Cang said respectfully, “Yes, the Grand Elder and one of them fought and ended up getting seriously injured. The Grand Elder seemed to have heard of the two of them, but they won’t let him off even though he apologized. Furthermore, they asked the Xian Family to take out at least one hundred pieces of level-seven Supreme Glazed True Silver, ten pieces of level-eight Supreme Glazed True Silver, and three pieces of level-nine Supreme Glazed True Silver...”

Di Jiu took a deep breath. He had obtained a huge piece of level-nine Supreme Glazed True Silver by depending on his luck. Plus, who could have a Divine Dao Eye like his?

“What if they can’t produce them?” Di Jiu asked.

“The Xian Family will then disappear,” Xian Cang replied, looking terrified.

He couldn’t help panicking. He knew very well that these experts would never lie. If they said that the Xian Family would disappear, it would happen. Furthermore, making the Xian Family disappear was nothing to these experts.

He was now asking Di Jiu for help. Deep down, he knew that he shouldn’t and couldn’t do that because Di Jiu could not solve the problem by going there. He would most likely cause Di Jiu to die there, just like a drowning person holding a rice straw that couldn’t save him, still unwilling to let go.

“Did Xian Bainan ask you to come?” Di Jiu asked faintly. Evidently, Xian Cang’s approach showed how much more important the Xian Family’s benefits were to him than his life.

However, he did not mind, as he had obtained top-notch Supreme Glazed True Silver there. Thus, he owed Xian Cang a favor.

Xian Cang hurriedly shook his head. “No, I came by myself. Although the Eldest Elder guessed that you are very powerful, he never thought of asking you for help. Plus, the Eldest Elder only guessed that you are strong. He was not very sure of your strength. Brother Di, I know I’m asking for too much, but these two are really powerful. Even if you think that you can’t help me, I will not be dissatisfied...”

Di Jiu gestured with his hand. “Lead the way. I’ll go over to take a look.”

“Ah...” Xian Cang was like a person who had caught a rice straw. He had been prepared for Di Jiu to reject him, but he hadn’t expected Di Jiu to agree just like that.

Fortunately, he came back to his senses quickly and replied in pleasant surprise, “Yes, yes. Please follow me, Senior Di.”

Di Jiu didn’t bother talking further with Xian Cang. Xian Cang was a good cultivator, but he kept changing the way he addressed Di Jiu, which showed that the two of them wouldn’t be friends.

...

The place where Xian Cang took Di Jiu was the guest hall that Di Jiu had been to in the past. A few days ago, the Xian Family had received a lot of gifts there and then married off Xian Wuchan. At the time, the Xian Family had been well-off, as no one had dared to oppose them. Unexpectedly, only a few days later, some unwanted guests had come to visit them.

“Ha ha ha ha!” When Di Jiu arrived at the door, he heard manic laughter. “I, Duan Shen, am here today to bully your family with my power. What can you do? I will give you one more day. If you still can’t take out enough Supreme Glazed True Silver to satisfy us, don’t blame us for becoming hostile.”

Xian Cang’s complexion had turned pale, but Di Jiu gestured with his hand to him, signaling for him to wait outside. Then, he led Qu Fang into the guest hall.

There were only five people in the guest hall, and blood overflowed from the corner of Xian Bainan’s mouth. At that moment, he was the only person in the house who was fine. Xian Wuxun had a broken arm as he lay on the ground. Except for Xian Wuxun, another cultivator with a cultivation level similar to Xian Bainan’s lay on the ground with serious injuries.

By sensing the aura, Di Jiu could tell that the cultivator who was on the ground with serious injuries was the one hiding in Xian Bainan’s house when he had been talking with Xian Bainan before. Therefore, his status should not be lower than that of Xian Bainan.

To Di Jiu’s surprise, he recognized one of the two apex experts Xian Cang had mentioned as Gou Wansheng.

“Daoist Di...” Upon seeing Di Jiu come in, Xian Bainan called out subconsciously. He was even more surprised. Why was Di Jiu there?

Could Di Jiu and the two cultivators who had come to cause trouble to the Xian Family be accomplices?

Di Jiu ignored Xian Bainan and just looked at Gou Wansheng with a sneer. “Old rooster, we were fated to meet again. You know how to run well, but I didn’t expect you to still fall into my hands.”

Di Jiu really hadn’t expected to meet Gou Wansheng there.

When he saw Di Jiu come in, Gou Wansheng’s expression turned pale. He was very aware of Di Jiu’s strength and he suspected that, even if he joined forces with Duan Shen, they would not be a match for Di Jiu.

“Brother... Brother Di... Why are you here?” Gou Wansheng was ready to flee. As long as Di Jiu made a move on him, he would flee right away.

Xian Bainan and Xian Wuxun, who had lost an arm and were lying on the ground, were both stunned. Di Jiu looked very young, but Gou Wansheng was actually scared of him? What was going on?

“Brother Gou, who is this?” said the person Di Jiu did not recognize.

That man’s eyes were deep, he had gray hair, and a blood-red gourd was hanging from his waist. He looked evil. His cultivation level seemed to be weaker than that of Xian Bainan.

“Brother Duan, his name is Di Jiu and we had a bit of a misunderstanding before...” After Gou Wansheng introduced Di Jiu to his partner, he told Di Jiu, “Brother Di, this is Daoist Duan Shen. We are only here to purchase some Supreme Glazed True Silver. Daoist Di, I’ve apologized to you for that matter. I was in the wrong. We both wander around the void, so it would be better to get rid of our enmity than keep it alive.”

Di Jiu opened his palm and the Heavenly Aqua Saber landed on it. Then, he faintly said, “Gou Wansheng, I just love to incur hatred. Try fleeing again if you dare...”

While he said that, his domain aura frantically swept over and Duan Shen and Gou Wansheng were shrouded by his domain. The person Di Jiu wanted to kill was Gou Wansheng. Once Duan Shen resisted, he would give up killing Duan Shen and kill Gou Wansheng first.

Duan Shen, who was standing next to Gou Wansheng, wanted to make a move. However, after sensing Gou Wansheng’s fear and Di Jiu’s frantic, vast domain aura, he stiffly resisted the desire to do so.

He was more aware of how cruel Gou Wansheng was than anyone else. However, the fact that Gou Wansheng had given in showed that Di Jiu was definitely a cruel person. Just as Gou Wansheng had mentioned, it would be better to get rid of their enmity than keep it alive. He had no feud against Di Jiu, so he was even more unwilling to offend Di Jiu first.

Even though he was near the perfected Dao Integration Realm, Gou Wansheng had yet to reach the Dao Integration Realm. He knew very well that if he really ended up in a battle with Gou Wansheng, he would not kill Gou Wansheng even if he could suppress him. Once Gou Wansheng reached the Dao Integration Realm, he would no longer be his match.

“Brother Di, please don’t do anything yet. I know of an ancient battlefield where the first Creation War occurred. There are countless opportunities and treasures there. As long as you can put aside our grudge, I promise to take you there. Otherwise, even if you killed me, you could only vent some of your anger. I don’t have a feud with you to begin with...” Gou Wansheng hurriedly shouted.

He was really afraid of Di Jiu. The vast universe was both boundless and small. When one’s cultivation reached a certain level, everyone would gather in a circle, so it was unavoidable that they would meet often in the future. It was just like the Supreme Glazed True Silver that had appeared in the mystic area this time. Everyone had come for it, so they had naturally met.

Gou Wansheng knew how terrifying Di Jiu was and simply did not want to start a feud with him now. Hence, he pleaded humbly.

“Are you talking about the battlefield of the Creation War?” Di Jiu’s heart was moved as he gave up his plan to continue. It wasn’t important to him whether he killed Gou Wansheng or not. A person like Gou Wansheng definitely knew many things that he didn’t. If he could bring Gou Wansheng along with him, he would certainly be exposed to more useful places and things.

Gou Wansheng had taken the initiative to plead with Di Jiu, so Duan Shen naturally did not want to fight with Di Jiu. Thus, he took the initiative to tell Di Jiu with cupped fists, “Duan Shen from the Seven Aqua Realm greets Daoist Di.”

Di Jiu scanned Duan Shen coldly. “What are you? How dare you call me Daoist?”

While he said that, his Heavenly Aqua Saber locked the space and slashed at Duan Shen.
