Ninth In the World

What puzzled Di Jiu was the fact that he was wrong.

Di Jiu had set up Confinement Killing Arrays one after another where he stayed. Although he could certainly teach Xing Xi a lesson, he decided to prevent Xing Xi from leaving after she came.

Xing Xi gave him a very weird feeling. Since even Gou Wansheng had escape techniques, Xing Xi gave off a far stronger vibe than Gou Wansheng. He did not believe that Xing Xi had no means of escaping.

Therefore, he had set up the Confinement Killing Arrays to prevent her from escaping.

Unfortunately, Xing Xi did not come, which meant that Di Jiu had miscalculated.

Qu Fang was still a little worried about Xing Xi during the first few days, but since he hadn’t seen Xing Xi in more than a month, he was gradually relieved and he started to cultivate with all his might. He knew very well that he could not follow Di Jiu all his life. The reason Xing Xi had not come was probably not that she was afraid of Di Jiu. Di Jiu’s cultivation level should be stronger than his, but probably not by too much. What Xing Xi was afraid of was the person behind Di Jiu and the Xian Family.

As for whether there was an expert behind Di Jiu, Qu Fang did not doubt that at all. If Di Jiu did not have an expert backing him up, would the deacon of the Xian Family have come out to welcome him?

Since Xing Xi had not turned up in the first few days, Di Jiu knew that she would not come. At the same time, he also understood Xing Xi a little more. That woman was definitely a crafty person who knew that an inescapable net was waiting for her there.

As for why she had not come, she was definitely not afraid of Di Jiu. She was just worried about the Xian Family. In other words, she did not want to lose this opportunity to obtain the Supreme Glazed True Silver.

“Daoist Di, I’m going to receive other guests, so I won’t stay here.” Xian Cang was confident that he had not misjudged Di Jiu. He had invited Di Jiu this time because he actually wanted to sound him out. If Di Jiu made a fuss over a seat, then there would be no need for him to be friends with such a person anymore.

“Brother Xian, please do your thing. I’m fine here,” Di Jiu said indifferently.

Before Xian Cang left, he lowered his voice and sent a voice transmission to Di Jiu, “Daoist Di, the woman who had some conflict with you before is a Primordial Chaos cultivator. Her invitation must have been snatched from someone, presumably so she can go to the mystic area. It would be better not to have a conflict with her, Brother Di. If you have nothing to do, you can spend more time in the Xian Ocean.”

After he said that, Xian Cang walked out without waiting for Di Jiu to answer.

Di Jiu had a good impression of the Xian Family, which had its own way of doing things. Even though Xian Cang clearly knew that Xing Xi had snatched another guest’s invitation, he still treated Xing Xi as a guest. However, the Xian Family had not taken Xing Xi seriously. For the Xian Family, Xing Xi was just an early-stage Primordial Chaos expert who could be crushed at any time.

Evidently, the Xian Family had an ulterior motive. Otherwise, they would probably have slapped Xing Xi to death. Di Jiu reckoned that Xing Xi also knew about that and had not sneaked an attack on him to avoid giving the Xian Family any excuses.

“Big Brother, can I go in with you when the mystic area opens?” Qu Fang, who was sitting beside Di Jiu, asked in a low voice.

“Of course, let’s go in together,” Di Jiu answered. He was sure that if Qu Fang did not dare go in with him, then Xing Xi would absolutely kill Qu Fang before she entered the mystic area. Even though he had yet to fight with that woman, Di Jiu knew that she was by no means an impulsive person.

While Di Jiu and Qu Fang were talking, people came into the guest hall one after another. Without needing to scan him with his Spiritual Force, Di Jiu knew that Xian Cang truly wanted to be friends with him. After all, apart from a few Dao Transformation Realm cultivators, the cultivators who came in were basically at the Primordial Dao Realm or the Primordial Chaos Realm, and only a few were at the Dao Integration Realm.

“That woman is here,” Qu Fang whispered again.

Needless to say, Di Jiu had also seen Xing Xi come in. As though she had not seen Di Jiu and Qu Fang, she was led directly to a seat in the front row by a female servant before she sat down.

Di Jiu had clearly sensed Xing Xi’s Spiritual Force, which had been scanning Qu Fang’s body for a while.

Half an hour later, the guest hall was gradually filled up and people were sitting around Di Jiu. The people in the second row were basically Primordial Dao Realm cultivators, while the first row was reserved for the Primordial Chaos Realm cultivators.

Some Dao Integration cultivators were also sitting at the top left and right.

At that moment, an extremely strong middle-aged man with long black hair came to the forefront and greeted all the cultivators in the hall. Then, he said in a clear voice, “Most of you know me, but some of you are here for the first time and have not met me yet. I would like to introduce myself. My name is Xian Wuxun, and I am currently the Family Head of the Xian Family. First of all, on behalf of the Xian Family, I would like to welcome everyone. Since many friends have come here for the first time, I apologize if the Xian Family has neglected any of you.”

After he said that, Xian Wuxun bowed.

Di Jiu knew, however, that Xian Wuxun was definitely not the one who had suppressed Xing Xi with his Spiritual Force. Furthermore, Xian Wuxun’s cultivation level was not as high as that person’s. Xian Wuxun was at most a mid-stage Dao Integration expert. The person who had suppressed Xing Xi’s Spiritual Force back then was probably a late-stage Dao Integration cultivator or even a perfected Dao Integration cultivator.

As expected, the Xian Family had some heritage.
