Di Jiu was more confident after Jing Luowen’s reassurance. He improved the different Dharma Arrays in the Starry Sky Immortal City even faster after sending Jing Luowen away.

As he had expected, after all the Defense Arrays had been set up, the Major Five-Element Array leveled up and became a level-eight Immortal Array automatically because of the Seven-Star Aqua Flag and the Floating Flame Flag.

Even a Peak Immortal King would not be able to escape from a level-eight Immortal Array.

After he had activated all the Dharma Arrays, Di Jiu visited the confinement array in the Auxiliary City, which trapped more than ten Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect disciples once again.

He was there to kill them. He had not killed these fellows in the past because he had wanted to buy time. Now that he had achieved what he wanted, he would slay them and attract the experts of the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect. After that, he would get rid of all of them. He would only be able to leave the Starry Sky Immortal City and search for the Gigantic Vessel after killing all the experts.

The 36 disciples from the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect had been trapped in the Confinement Killing Array and been tortured until they had almost gone crazy. When they saw Di Jiu entering the array, Hai Jie-er said with red eyes, “Daoist, you must be City Lord Di of the Starry Sky Immortal City. You have trapped us for three years, so the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect of the Newborn Immortal Protectorate must have found out about this by now. There is no point in confining us anymore.”

Di Jiu nodded. “That’s right, I have thought about this too. It is meaningless for me to continue trapping all of you. Therefore, I am here to finish all of you off.”

Hai Jie-er, who was delighted, nodded with a serious expression. “City Lord Di, rest assured. Although there have been some misunderstandings between us, you did not kill any of us. Our friendship grew from conflict. You could be an elder in the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect because you are a level-six Immortal Array Great-Master.”

Di Jiu smiled. “But you people have killed thousands of people outside the Auxiliary City of the Starry Sky Immortal City. Although they did not belong to the Starry Sky Immortal City, they never offended the Newborn Immortal City and the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect. All of you think that you rule the universe just because you belong to the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect. Therefore, I am here to tell you that your sect is like an egg to me. One more thing… You are wrong. I am not a level-six Immortal Array Great-Master now, but a level-seven Immortal Array King…”

When Di Jiu said that last word, two Saber Qi swept across and cut open the center of Hai Jie-er’s forehead. Hai Jie-er had waited for three years, yet what arrived was not the people from the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect, but Di Jiu’s revenge.

“We are the disciples of the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect! How dare you kill us…” A Great Unity Immortal cultivator growled when he saw Di Jiu kill Hai Jie-er.

Di Jiu, who was speechless, shook his head. “Why do you people from the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect think so highly of yourselves? Why is it okay for you to kill thousands of people in the Starry Sky Immortal City, but I cannot kill a few of you?”

A few more Saber Qi swept across, slaying the Great Unity Immortal on the spot.

The rest of the disciples from the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect understood that Di Jiu was there to finish them off. All of them started to struggle frantically. Unfortunately, Di Jiu took their rings. Without their Dharma treasures, it was pointless to struggle in the level-six Confinement Killing Immortal Array.

Di Jiu slew all the disciples from the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect within a short time and put away the level-six Confinement Killing Array.

This level-six Confinement Killing Array was no longer needed, as Di Jiu had leveled up all the Dharma Arrays in the Starry Sky Immortal City and the auxiliary city to level seven.

He expected that the cultivators from the Newborn Immortal Protectorate would arrive very quickly, as he had killed the disciples of the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect. Therefore, he had to upgrade his cultivation experience in the meantime.

Di Jiu, who had been in the Immortal World for a long time, had meditated by the Thearch Robe Sea for 100 years and spent all his time researching into the Dao Arrays. Therefore, his cultivation experience had remained stagnant at the level-five Perfected Immortal Realm.

…

Although the Spirit Qi was quite rich in the Newborn Immortal Protectorate, cultivators with a higher cultivation experience could see the faint color of blood in space. The color of blood allowed them to feel the evil tendencies around.

All the cultivators came from the Sunset Immortal Protectorate, so they had all witnessed murder. They knew very well that the bloody color in space signified that the Newborn Immortal Protectorate was faltering and becoming an extension of the Sunset Immortal Protectorate.

In addition, it had not rained in the Newborn Immortal Protectorate at all for two years.

This made all the cultivators extremely anxious. That was why their eyes were set on the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect. The Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect, which had been taciturn for quite some time, finally gathered the cultivators for a major sect meeting.

At the moment, almost all the sect masters of different sects and experts were gathered in the grand hall of the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect that was reserved for guests.

They had gone there for one reason: to discuss a way out for all of them in the future.

Yi Zhen, the sect master of the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect, was the first to stand up. He cupped his fists in front of the other sect masters and said, “My fellow Daoists, I believe that all of you know very well why the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect has asked everyone to gather here today, so let’s cut a long story short.”

A fierce-looking male cultivator with extremely strong killing intent stood up and cupped his fists. “Sect Master Yi, we will follow the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect. Just say whatever you want to. I will be at the frontline if I am needed. If we had not followed Sect Master Yi in the past, we would not have had the opportunity to come to the Newborn Immortal Protectorate.”

Many sect masters despised Cang Hen, the sect master of the Nine Charms Immortal Sect. Although the name of the sect sounded cultured and prestigious, Cang Hen, who had killed countless people, was full of evil intentions. After the Sunset Immortal World had arrived, many small families and sects had been destroyed by him. His hands were stained with the blood of the entire Immortal World.

Yi Zhen nodded. He was satisfied with Cang Hen’s words.

If it had not been for the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect, none of these people would have gotten the opportunity to know the Newborn Immortal Protectorate. Although these people had responded to his instructions and gathered there, he knew very well what they were thinking of. More than six Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect disciples would be killed.

“Everyone, we thought that we could settle down in the Newborn Immortal Protectorate when we first came here. We thought that this place would be a new Immortal World and a home for us. I am sorry to tell everyone that sunset is going to befall the Newborn Immortal Protectorate. We will die if we continue to stay here…”

There was a burst of sighs from the crowd. It was ironic that the Newborn Immortal Protectorate was going to be destroyed and they would become a group of homeless immortals.

Yi Zhen’s tone became more serious. “I am at fault because I did not do a good job protecting the Newborn Immortal Protectorate.”

“Sect Master Yi brought us to the Newborn Immortal Protectorate, and now he is trying to save us. How can we blame Sect Master Yi for the sunset that will befall the Newborn Immortal Protectorate? Heaven is against the Immortal World…”

“Yes, yes, Sect Master Yi has done so much for us. How could we blame him?”

…

As the cultivators started talking, nobody said that Yi Zhen was at fault. Other than some cultivators who did not express their view, most cultivators supported Yi Zhen.

Yi Zhen sighed after the discussion stopped. “My mistake was not knowing that someone would snatch the light from providence away from us…”

“What? The Newborn Immortal Protectorate is going to falter because someone stole the light from providence?”

“Who had the audacity to take the light from providence away?”

All the attention was focused on Yi Zhen, whose face was full of anguish and indignance. “I never expected that Jing Luowen, the sect master of the Virtuous Nirvana Sect, would snatch the light from providence away. At first, I did not believe that Jing Luowen would do such a thing, as she is the sect master of the Virtuous Nirvana Sect. Never did I imagine that she would launch a sneak attack on me while I was reprimanding her…”

Jing Luowen was to blame?

Many cultivators stared at him in disbelief. Even though plenty of cultivators wanted to capture a disciple from the Virtuous Nirvana Sect for cultivation purposes, they knew all about Jing Luowen’s personality.

It was odd to say that Jing Luowen had deprived them of the light from providence.

“That woman has deeply hidden intentions indeed.” Cang Hen, the sect master of the NIne Charms Immortal Sect, was the first to speak ill of Jing Luowen.

“I believe that Sect Master Jing would not do such a thing,” said someone who had a different opinion.

The person in question was Tan Mo, the Manor Lord of the Ultimate Essence Immortal Manor.

Cang Hen glanced at Tan Mo but did not dare say anything. He was only at the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm, while Tan Mo was at the Immortal King Realm. Cang Hen did not want to offend Tan Mo due to the difference between their cultivation levels. After all, nobody knew whether Tan Mo would assassinate him in the future if he offended him.

Yi Zhen scanned Tan Mo with his eyes and said calmly, “I was indeed injured severely by Sect Master Jing. Although I also injured her badly, she escaped and fled to the Sunset Immortal Protectorate. I have mobilized 36 disciples from the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect and sent them to capture her…”

As Yi Zhen was speaking, Elder Hai walked up to him suddenly and passed a jade slip to him.

When Yi Zhen scanned the jade slip using his Spiritual Force, he was enraged. The souls of all the 36 disciples he had sent to the Sunset Immortal Protectorate had been destroyed. There were no survivors. All the souls had been destroyed at the same moment.

Yi Zhen was suddenly filled with killing intent. Who had killed his disciples? The culprit must have had a death wish!
