Ninth In the World - Chapter 629

Chapter 629: Don’t Anger Me

Di Jiu panicked when he used the Defense Array to seal the taijitu. He suddenly sensed danger.

At the moment, he no longer cared that he would be exposing his Ninth World. He opened the Ninth World, activated the major array, and moved the taijitu into the Ninth World.

He activated the teleportation array talisman the moment the taijitu entered the Ninth World.

The space fluctuated a little. Just as Di Jiu left the area, Jiang Dai appeared above the ruins where the Dai He Hall had once been.

Jiang Dai’s eyes turned bloodshot upon witnessing this scene.

The nine supreme-grade Dao meridians had all been taken away, although this was not what made Jiang Dai go crazy. Not even the destruction of the Dai He Hall could incite such an emotion in him. What made him mad was the fact that Di Jiu had actually taken away his Yin-Yang Taijitu.

The Yin-Yang Taijitu was his number one treasure. Usually, he would be seated while cultivating on top of the Yin-Yang Taijitu and trying to gain insight into the Dao. He had indeed gathered the light shining on the Immortal World from providence in preparation for breaking through to the Dao Integration Realm. However, it was only considered a supplementary item, as the true treasure was the Yin-Yang Taijitu.

Now, the Yin-Yang Taijitu was missing. It had been taken away by a nobody he was trying to assassinate. This was what truly made him go mad.

What surprised and angered him even more was how Di Jiu had managed to take away the Yin-Yang Taijitu.

There were two reasons he had left the Yin-Yang Taijitu at the Dai He Hall. One, he needed it when he entered reclusive cultivation. Two, he had placed it there to gather the light shining on the Dao World from providence and the clear Heaven Earth Law.

This was because he knew that no one could take the Yin-Yang Taijitu away. After all, the level of the Yin-Yang Taijitu should be taken into consideration. Such a treasure could not be placed inside any ring. The only way to take it away was by refining it and storing it inside one’s Spiritual Sea. Otherwise, it was essentially immovable.

As for refining the Yin-Yang Taijity, no matter who this person was, Jiang Dai would return to the Dai He Hall before they managed to refine the first layer of restrictions.

Now, however, that impossibility had become reality. The Yin-Yang Taijitu had indeed been taken by someone just moments earlier.

Pew! Jiang Dai, who was severely injured, spat out another mouthful of blood after being angered by what he saw. This was the first time he’d spat out so much blood in a day ever since he had started cultivating.

This nobody called Di Jiu really made him quiver in anger. No one knew just how important the Yin-Yang Taijitu was to him. He would rather lose the Five-Direction Flags than lose the Yin-Yang Taijitu, for he was relying on the latter to stand on top of this universe.

Jiang Dai calmed down a few seconds later. It was meaningless to be angry now. After closing his eyes, he quickly captured the fluctuations in space. One of them had been created when he had teleported here and the other when he had left.

Jiang Dai’s figure dimmed and then disappeared without a trace.

What Jiang Dai executed was the true Five-Element escape technique, which was of a significantly higher caliber than the one Di Jiu had seen before. Unfortunately, Di Jiu was not here. If he had been, he would definitely have been able to find out what the problem of the Five-Element escape technique he owned was simply by feeling the space law fluctuations.

Jiang Dai swore to capture that nobody Di Jiu that day, even at the cost of damaging his Dao foundation.

Almost the instant Jiang Dai started moving in the direction Di Jiu had fled, another explosive sound came from the Dai He Hall. The last array set up by Di Jiu had exploded and a row of massive words had appeared on the ruins of the Dai He Hall.

“Jiang Dai, my son, I have crushed your dog nest. Next time, before you bully anyone, open your dog eyes wider. Don’t anger me.”

It was unfortunate that Jiang Dai was no longer there. Otherwise, he would most likely have spat out another mouthful of blood upon reading these words.

…

Di Jiu immediately executed the nomological escape technique frantically the moment he exited the Teleportation Array. He did not even have the time to destroy the Teleportation Array.

The ever-present sense of danger he felt was creating immense discomfort in him. He did not feel safe in the slightest.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force was much more powerful than the average perfected Dao Transformation Realm cultivator’s, almost reaching the level of a half-step Primordial Dao Realm cultivator. Casting the Spiritual Force escape technique with such a Spiritual Force meant that a weaker Primordial Chaos expert might not be able to catch up to him. Besides, Di Jiu was executing the nomological escape technique, which was even more powerful than the Spiritual Force escape technique.

Even so, he still felt an ever-present sense of danger. This made him wary of how powerful Jiang Dai was.

There was nothing else, other than Jiang Dai catching up to him, that would cause this ever-present sense of danger.

After all, Di Jiu had first used the Teleportation Array to escape a fair distance away before casting the nomological escape technique. Nevertheless, Jiang Dai was relying on the spatial fluctuations to chase after him. The distance between them could not be measured physically.

The further away Di Jiu fled, the more alarmed he felt. His speed was akin to instantaneous teleportation, yet the sense of danger increased rather than diminishing.

It had to be Jiang Dai chasing him since the chaser could keep up his pace. Jiang Dai was indeed very fast to be able to make the distance between them shorter. Fortunately, Di Jiu had used a Teleportation Array, or Jiang Dai would have already caught up to him.

Leveling Jiang Dai’s nest had indeed been a feel-good moment. Now, escaping was a bittersweet moment.

Di Jiu had correctly guessed that Jiang Dai was chasing him but he had not guessed that the other man was currently extremely injured. Otherwise, despite his nomological escape technique, Jiang Dai would have caught up to him.

…

Di Jiu was escaping while Jiang Dai was chasing him. Meanwhile, however, the entire Dao World was in upheaval.

The reason was that the sect belonging to Jiang Dai, who loved to exterminate other sects, had been wiped out. The Dai He Hall might not be considered a true sect, but its rank was equivalent to a true sect’s. Moreover, it occupied one of the best places in the entire Dao World.

Now, not only had it been wiped out, but the Dao meridians of the Dai He Hall had also been taken by someone. The culprit had left a row of words behind at the ruins of the Dai He Hall.

“Jiang Dai, my son, I have crushed your dog nest. Next time, before you bully anyone, open your dog eyes wider. Don’t anger me.”

Who could be so fearless? This amount of courage was practically immeasurable. Angering Jiang Dai was one thing, but the culprit had even destroyed the Dai He Hall and left behind a row of words.

The identity of the culprit was quickly discovered. It was Di Jiu, the same person Jiang Dai had put an arrest warrant for in the entire Dao World. In the end, Di Jiu had been unhappy and he had destroyed Jiang Dai’s Dai He Hall in retribution.

Everyone was impressed by Di Jiu’s aggressiveness. He had even dared to destroy Jiang Dai’s territory.

Almost all the inns were discussing Di Jiu’s identity and why he would dare to do such a thing.

Jiang Dai had finally encountered someone more ruthless than him. After all, he had exterminated the Dao World’s Azure Sacred Elixir Sect, killed two Primordial Chaos experts of the Great Buddha Mountain, and even forced the Great Buddha Mountain to seal its gates.

Finally, karma had taken over. Jiang Dai’s Dai He Hall had been wiped out by someone else. One should indeed not be too arrogant. There were always more arrogant people in this world. It was just that one had yet to encounter them.

Jiang Dai was too used to being arrogant and had finally provoked someone more arrogant than him. However, Di Jiu seemed to be suicidal. After all, someone else would have provoked Jiang Dai a long time ago if it was so easy to do so. Everyone was waiting to see when Di Jiu would be captured by Jiang Dai and how Jiang Dai intended to deal with Di Jiu.

In one of the inns in the Eternal Court Sacred Dao City, a lady with a face covered in scars clenched her fists excitedly upon hearing this news. Her eye rims also turned red.

At a volume only she could hear, she murmured, “Master, Ancestral Master, someone helped the Azure Sacred Elixir Sect exact some revenge. Jiang Dai finally encountered a ruthless opponent…”

Then, she left the inn. She had to find this cultivator called Di Jiu.

…

“What? Someone destroyed Jiang Dai’s Dai He Hall?” asked a gray-robed man on the peak of the Void Mountain loudly with a frown. “Who? Who could destroy Jiang Dai’s nest?”

If Di Jiu had been there, he would definitely have recognized this gray-robed man as Xu Baishang, whom he had met between the two worlds.

Xu Baishang now looked more human compared to the skeleton-like appearance he’d had back then. He was still a little skinny, but his eyes were bright and he was filled with spirit. Evidently, he had yet to regain his full strength but he had mostly recovered.

Standing before Xu Baishang was a black-robed lady who was respectfully saying, “Reporting, Mountain Master. It is said that it was a young cultivator called Di Jiu. This person…”

The black-robed lady had yet to finish speaking when Xu Baishang suddenly stood up, interrupting her abruptly. With barely concealed excitement, he asked, “Who did you say it was again?”

“Di Jiu!” the black-robed lady repeated.

Di Jiu? Xu Baishang suddenly clenched his fists tightly. Di Jiu! It was actually Di Jiu…

“Didn’t he just arrive at the Dao World not long ago?” inquired Xu Baishang in a slightly-quivering voice. Despite asking, he had already guessed that Di Jiu was the person he had been looking for.

Fortunately, he had passed down a command before so that people would always report to him about the Ten Major Geniuses of the past when this matter reached a certain level of severity. Otherwise, he would not have known that Di Jiu had arrived at the Dao World.
