Chapter 831 - Why Be So Arrogant?
Fa changed his mind and decided to tell the truth. He certainly knew where Shang Huijue had gone. If he didn’t say, he would very likely infuriate Di Jiu, who might kill him right away.
If he told him, he would at most offend Shang Huijue. With so many witnesses to Di Jiu’s strength, he could not revolt.
“Before Daoist Di came here, another newcomer came. This time, it was a woman. When City Lord Shang heard of this, he went to look for her, probably to learn some news from her.” Fa cupped his fists before Di Jiu and didn’t help Shang Huijue conceal anything.
Di Jiu’s heart sank. A third-step expert had been chasing down Ling Xiaoshuang. Could that be any good?
“Where did Shang Huijue go?” Di Jiu’s tone had turned ice-cold. So what if he was a third-step expert?
Fa shook his head. “I don’t know.”
“Where is his cave abode?” While Di Jiu spoke, he no longer covered his domain, which swept over earth-shatteringly. At the same time, his killing intent scattered without him hiding it.
The cultivators with a lower cultivation level were assailed by this violent killing intent and hurriedly stepped back.
This time, Fa did not say anything and the surrounding area turned quiet. It didn’t matter that he had told Di Jiu where Shang Huijue had gone because it would have little impact on Shang Huijue. However, telling Di Jiu where Shang Huijue’s cave was was tantamount to offending Shang Huijue.
Di Jiu felt a difference after performing one round of Qi Circulation. There was a kind of unique aura, just like the Dao rune aura he had encountered when he had refined the Yin-Yang Taijitu. The boundary between Yin and Yang was very obvious, and the remnant nomological fluctuations in that space carried this kind of extreme Yin and extreme Yang.
After roughly learning about Shang Huijue’s cultivation technique, Di Jiu quickly exited the Lost Dao City. Almost nobody knew when he had used the nomological escape technique to get out of the city.
The nomological escape technique was nearly invincible when escaping from a space with such a clear Heaven Earth Law.
After escaping out of the Lost Dao City, Di Jiu extended his Spiritual Force to the maximum. As long as Shang Huijue appeared at the edge of his Spiritual Force, he was confident about recognizing him.
However, Di Jiu also knew that this method fully relied on luck. If he happened to go in the opposite direction or Shang Huijue returned to the Lost Dao City, he would still be looking for the other party outside.
Thanks to his pretty good luck, a spatial nomological fluctuation appeared at the edge of Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force on the fourth day. There were two types of spatial nomological fluctuation of Dao runes, which were entirely different.
Upon sensing the spatial fluctuation of the Dao runes, Di Jiu went over without hesitation. The fluctuation of this guy’s Dao runes was divided into two types and very likely belonged to Shang Huijue.
Once Di Jiu activated his nomological escape technique, Shang Huijue immediately sensed that. Thus, he stopped. There were some fluctuations in that space that were approaching him quickly. How could he not know that?
After just a dozen seconds, Di Jiu stopped in front of Shang Huijue.
A vast, surging aura came over. It was as if Di Jiu was facing an endless, vast body of ocean. For the first time, he couldn’t sense any details about the other party. The only thing that calmed his mind was that the vast aura of the other party also carried an aura of decay and vicissitudes.
This was definitely a third-step expert. Di Jiu was already certain before even fighting with him. Shang Huijue had been in the Lost Dao World for many years. However, at that moment, he still looked like a middle-aged man. His long black hair was tied up into a bun with immortal aura, and his black-and-white cultivator robe was the same as his cave abode and cultivation technique. The clarity and darkness were clearly distinguished.
The aura of decay and vicissitudes still couldn’t stop the handsome face of Shang Huijue. Despite being in the Lost Dao World for many years, he looked like a handsome guy.
Di Jiu and Shang Huijue were sizing each other up. After a few seconds, Shang Huijue said slowly, “If my guess is right, you’re Di Jiu, right? You’ve killed hundreds of Dao Integration cultivators in the Lost Dao City and even broken my cave abode. That’s formidable… Simply so formidable. Based on the remnant Dao runes I cultivate, you could find my trace. You’re not any worse than Du Bu was back then.”
“City Lord Shang, I heard you went after my friend. May I know if you managed to?” Di Jiu opened his palm and the Heavenly Aqua Saber landed in his hand. He didn’t dare go easy on him given Shang Huijue’s power.
Shang Huijue smiled slightly. “If you hadn’t appeared in the Lost Dao City, I would have caught her. You saved her with your appearance. However, don’t worry. After I kill you, I’ll catch her again. This isn’t too much trouble. Come on, let me see what divine power a foreign expert like you has that makes him so arrogant.”
