Ninth In the World

Ling Xiaoshuang’s flying boat accelerated. In just half an hour, the flying boat had arrived at the periphery of this huge castle.

Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshuang now saw it clearly. How was this a castle? This was clearly a huge castle-shaped void ship.

The huge void ship just stayed in the void. Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshuang were too far away, so they had mistakenly thought it was a castle.

“There is no land here. Why did this huge ship stop here?” Ling Xiaoshuang asked in confusion.

She had often seen such huge void ships. However, huge void ships would not normally stop there unless they saw a drifting Star Continent. This drifting Star Continent contained a lot of good stuff, so the huge void ship would temporarily stop and let the people inside look for opportunities in the Star Continent.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force landed on the Defense Array outside this huge ship and discovered that this was actually a level-six peak Divine Defense Array. This kind of Divine Defense Array was very weak and seemed to have insufficient spirit energy. Although Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force could rip apart this Defense Array, this was basically a provocation. He told Ling Xiaoshuang, “We’ll go over and take a look first.”

Di Jiu performed several hand seals on the Defense Array of this huge ship, which led to a burst of alarm sounds immediately.

This was akin to knocking on the array. Therefore, they just had to wait. It would take no more than dozens of seconds under normal circumstances. Then, the huge ship would open its array door so they could have a talk.

“Something is wrong with this huge ship.” Di Jiu could not feel the intense life-force aura, but a deathly aura filled the air instead.

With a faint cracking noise, a crack suddenly appeared in the corner of the deck. Di Jiu waved his hand and this crack abruptly became bigger, as if it existed without a base.

When Di Jiu removed all the hidden Defense Arrays, Ling Xiaoshuang finally saw the situation inside.

A little girl with thin yellow hair shrank in a corner and stared with a pair of terrified eyes at Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshuang.

As soon as Ling Xiaoshuang scanned her with her Spiritual Force, she immediately knew this girl’s cultivation level. She was a mid-stage Immortal King. Even though she was a mid-stage Immortal King at her age, this did not indicate that she was very qualified on this side of the void. Many children of cultivators with a strong bloodline would likely be born Great Immortals.

“As expected, someone survived. It seems like she is lucky, and she also has an invisibility talisman. She hid here and escaped this calamity,” Ling Xiaoshuang said with a sigh. She thought of her Master’s feelings and felt increasingly perplexed.

What was the purpose of cultivation? Why had she seen more darkness and death ever since she had started cultivating?

Di Jiu smiled and asked gently, “Do you know who killed all the people inside?”

The girl, who seemed to sense that Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshuang were not terrifying, felt less terrified. She stammered, “He was a red-haired guest in the void ship. He killed many, many people…”

“How do you know?” Ling Xiaoshuang asked in confusion.

Di Jiu pointed to a dark surveillance screen at the edge of the deck and said, “There is an Array Formation Surveillance Screen there. Since the divine spirit meridians on this void ship were taken away, that surveillance screen is useless. I guess she must have seen it through this screen.”

The girl kept nodding but did not want to say another word.

Ling Xiaoshuang said, “Come with us. It’s dangerous for you to stay here alone given your cultivation level.”

The girl stared at Ling Xiaoshuang with her eyes wide open. She might be considering that or considering how dangerous Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshuang were. She did not answer for a while.

Before the girl could answer, Di Jiu said, “Xiaoshuang, I guess it’s difficult to find out about the Nie Clan. Why don’t we go to Heaven’s Beyond first? I have a Moon Core and I want to use it there. We’ll just leave her at Heaven’s Beyond ​​and then inquire about the whereabouts of the Nie Clan. How’s that?”

“You still have a Moon Core?” Ling Xiaoshuang looked at Di Jiu in amazement.

She was aware that Di Jiu had obtained a Moon Core and a Sun Core. However, she had expected him to use both of them. He unexpectedly still had a Moon Core. Could he only have used the Sun Core to advance his flame and not have used the Moon Core at all?

Di Jiu took out a jade box and opened it. “Yes, I do have another Moon Core. I’ve advanced my flame so I won’t use it at the moment. I heard that good stuff can be bought for a price at Heaven’s Beyond. After I use it, we can also inquire about the whereabouts of the Nie Clan. Isn’t that great?”

Ling Xiaoshuang knew that there was no other way. Thus, she agreed and turned around to tell the girl, “We’re going to Heaven’s Beyond and we’ll take you there. Alright?”

The girl remained silent. After hesitating for a while, she nodded.
