Ninth In the World - Chapter 663

Chapter 663: The Strict Rules of the Thousand Bamboo Void Island

“Are you from the Void Ocean?” the square-faced man asked as he stared at Di Jiu. He did not sound very polite.

Di Jiu looked at him in shock. How did he know that he came from the Void Ocean? The Void Ocean was a different realm in this universe.

“You’re indeed from the Void Ocean. Punk, you’ll meet your death here!” Once the square-faced man saw Di Jiu’s expression, he snorted and stepped forward. His domain aura frantically swept toward Di Jiu.

A half-step Primordial Chaos expert wanted him to meet his death? Di Jiu, who was furious, wanted to make a move without hesitation.

However, Tang Xitan stopped Di Jiu and sent him a voice transmission. “Don’t make a move. You can’t do so here.”

Di Jiu believed Tang Xitan would not lie to him so he held back the impulse to draw his saber.

When the square-faced man’s domain aura swept toward Di Jiu and lifted his palm, a huge seal landed down from the void. Then, an ice-cold voice said, “Which mad disciple dared to make a move on my island? You must have a death wish…”

The square-faced man came back to his senses and his face immediately turned deathly-white. Sweat seeped out of his forehead and his pupils rapidly widened as he said loudly, “Senior, please spare me this once. It’s my first time here. I met the enemy who killed my child, so for a moment…”

Boom! The huge seal did not stop. It directly struck the top of the square-faced man’s head, giving him no chance to resist.

Pfft! A bloody mist exploded. Before the square-faced man could enter the Thousand Bamboo Void Island, this huge seal had struck him into scraps.

Even though the person who’d wanted to make a move on him had been killed, Di Jiu still felt uneasy. When one was weaker, there was no dignity or ability to speak.

If Tang Xitan had not stopped him, he probably could not have helped drawing his saber. In that case, the huge seal would not have withdrawn after killing the square-faced man and would have killed Di Jiu next.

After the square-faced man was killed, the huge seal vanished in the void. The peace in this space was then restored. As if nothing had happened, the two boys smiled at Di Jiu, Tang Xitan, and the two Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors and told them, “Please follow us into the island.”

The two men who had followed the square-faced man here had watched their companion get killed before entering the island, so their expressions were ugly. However, at that moment, they did not suggest leaving. Who knew whether this Insular Lord would once again fly into a rage if they left?

“You’re Di Jiu? Not bad. You destroyed my Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary, right?” The early-stage Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor spoke without a change in his tone or any expression. This fellow looked like someone with facial paralysis.

Di Jiu faintly replied, “That’s right, I’m Di Jiu. The man who was just killed should be the third Pavilion Lord, right? Unfortunately, I didn’t kill him personally. I threw his son into the Void Ocean.”

The face-paralyzed man nodded. “Very well. I’m Leng Xuping and I’m also from the Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary. I hope that after we go out, you will still say the same thing.”

Di Jiu chuckled and did not bother talking to him. He really wanted to tell him that a shorty who was stronger than him had also ended up perishing not long ago.

Tang Xitan said disdainfully, “How dare a mere early-stage Primordial Chaos expert be so arrogant? What gives you the guts?”

Even though Tang Xitan was also at the early-stage Primordial Chaos, the way she said that was funny.

However, Tang Xitan knew very well that Leng Xuping was still far from provoking Di Jiu. Ever since the shorty from the Demon Clan had gone to find Di Jiu, there had been no news of him. Tang Xitan had only sneered when Di Jiu had said that he’d managed to persuade him to leave. If that shorty could have been persuaded, then he would not have been the strongest Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor of the Demon Clan.

“Daoist Di, you must have come from the Dark Red Sacred Dao City, right? How’s the Dark Red Sacred Dao City?” the mid-stage Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor beside Leng Xuping asked.

The mid-stage Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor looked very straightforward, as though he did not like being meddlesome.

Di Jiu faintly asked, “Who are you?”

The Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor laughed and answered politely, “I’m Dao Chuanxun. It’s not strange if you haven’t heard of me. I’m the City Lord of the Dark Red Sacred Dao City. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a chat with you there.”

Di Jiu said coldly, “I think it’s better that way. The Dark Red Sacred Dao City is well. However, I slashed an arrest warrant outside the city that left a crack. Oh, and the Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary. Since Jiang Dai wanted to find me, I accidentally created a huge pit.”

Dao Chuanxun’s eyebrows twitched in shock. He knew all too well how formidable Jiang Dai was. Even though he was also at the mid-stage Primordial Chaos, he was sure that even if three people joined forces to deal with Jiang Dai, it would all be over for them. Furthermore, Di Jiu had emerged unexpectedly unscathed from the huge battle with Jiang Dai in the Dark Red Sacred Dao City. It looked like what he had done at first had been somewhat inappropriate.

Dao Chuanxun cupped his fists. “Brother Di, I apologize for what happened previously. I hadn’t met you after all, which caused this misunderstanding. I’m sure there won’t be any more misunderstandings in the future.”

Di Jiu’s tone remained calm. “First, if such a thing happens in the future, I’ll tear down that place. Second, we’ll never be friends. If people don’t offend me, I don’t offend them. If someone offended me, I’d advise them to leave quietly.”

Dao Chuanxun frowned but did not continue. He could endure this. With one glance, he knew Di Jiu was not simple. Since he bore no grudges against Di Jiu now, he didn’t need to continue bearing a grudge over something irrelevant.

When Tang Xitan heard Di Jiu advise someone to leave for the second time, she was even more sure that something bad had happened to the Demon Clan’s Jin Chengxun. This was because, according to Di Jiu, Jin Chengxun had been persuaded to leave.

As they spoke, they arrived in front of an extremely grand cave abode where there were two Spirit-Gathering Conifers that were level-seven Divine Spirit Trees. Each of them was priceless. The two trees were each dozens of feet tall.

In between the two Spirit-Gathering Conifers was a black jade road. At first, Di Jiu thought that was the Nirvana Black Metal Stone and was shocked by it. After entering, he realized that it was not the Nirvana Black Metal Stone but the Void Black Jade Crystal. Even though this was not bad either, it was still far from his Nirvana Black Metal Stone.

After Di Jiu had obtained the Nirvana Black Metal Stone and used some, most of it had still been left.

“Ha ha… Daoist Tang, here we meet again. Welcome, Daoist Leng, Daoist Dao, and Daoist Di. My little Thousand Bamboo Void Island has brightened up thanks to your arrival. I, Ji Hongsen, want to thank everyone for coming. Come quickly and have a seat. Bring the Thousand Bamboo Void Island’s specialty, the Thousand Bamboo Divine Spirit Tea.” A man with a loud, clear voice stood up with a wide smile and spoke very politely.

Di Jiu sized up the man. He had pale skin, a slender figure, and he looked very handsome. He had the strength of the late-stage Primordial Chaos and was maybe even stronger than that.

The Dao runes on him circulated naturally without stopping at all. Even though Di Jiu had not met Jiang Dai face-to-face yet, he was sure that this person was the strongest expert he had seen apart from Jiang Dai.

Based on his passionate attitude, it seemed as though he was not the one who had killed the square-faced man outside the Thousand Bamboo Void Island with the huge seal.

The hall was very spacious so five people could sit inside, including Ji Hongsen.

After Tang Xitan and the others greeted him, they sat down.

Very soon, the Thousand Bamboo Divine Spirit Tea was served. Di Jiu found it good after drinking a cup. However, he felt that this thing was meaningless and inferior to his Dao fruit wine.

Everyone was sharing some stories. In the process, three more Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors came in. Based on Ji Hongsen’s greeting, Di Jiu could tell that one of them was Itinerant Cultivator Gou Zibi. This fellow had narrow eyes, a thin and weak figure, and looked as though he was half-asleep and half-awake. His cultivation was also at the early-stage Primordial Chaos.

Fan Yuan, who was a mid-stage Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor of the Demon Clan, stared at Di Jiu the moment he came in. He did not question Di Jiu straight away regarding Jin Chengxun’s whereabouts. This person’s cultivation was very powerful, so he had to be at the late-stage Primordial Chaos. The third person was the Sea Clan’s Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor, Ma Jujia, who was also at the mid-stage Primordial Chaos.
