Chapter 677 - Uneasy Tang Xitan
After Di Jiu collected the Green Lotus, the white lake below it dried up for no reason. As for the Defense Array flame, which Di Jiu had wanted to use for advancing his Dao fire, it also vanished without a trace. He could sense that there was nothing here, so he turned to leave.
He had obtained many good things. Apart from the Green Lotus, the best item had to be Ji Hongsen’s ring. Di Jiu cared a lot about this ring. Rumor had it that Ji Hongsen had been extremely wealthy in the void realm. Tang Xitan had told him that Ji Hongsen and the Guang Yuan Palace’s Palatial Lord were the wealthiest in this void. Di Jiu wanted to know the extent of his wealth.
As soon as Di Jiu left the Netherworld Corner Castle, his Spiritual Force landed on Ji Hongsen’s ring. This was the first time he was itching to know how many good things were in this ring.
What astonished Di Jiu slightly was that there was only a high-grade divine weapon in this ring without a top-notch Quintessential World.
In his opinion, a wealthy person like Ji Hongsen should at least have a Quintessential World that had a Heaven Earth Law equivalent to the level of an Immortal World and it should not be lower than a supreme-grade divine weapon’s level.
Actually, that was not right. Di Jiu frowned a little again. Even though the restriction on this ring was a level-five divine restriction, it did not cost much effort. Apart from that, the ring’s restriction had yet to be set up.
Di Jiu thought about his own ring. Even though it was a backup ring, the restriction he used on it definitely required some strength. How could that old fox Ji Hongsen not make any effort to set up the ring’s restriction?
Ji Hongsen definitely had not put anything good in this ring. Di Jiu’s expression turned somewhat ugly. Wu Luo had not deceived him. The true things had been taken away by Fan Yuan. Since he had personally killed Wu Luo, he naturally had not lied to him.
…
An hour after Di Jiu left, a faint shadow that seemed to be Ji Hongsen floated up from the dried white lake. However, only his weak Principal Spirit existed. As for his physical body, Fan Yuan and the rest had gotten rid of it.
That day, Tang Xitan was pointing out the problems of Lightning and Ding Chi during cultivation. A thin woman in black hurried over. Tang Xitan was shocked when she saw the woman’s face. This woman was her confidant, Tang Xue’er. Tang Xue’er had stayed in the Void City to hear news. As long there was any movement, she would know immediately.
“What’s the matter, Xue’er?” Before Tang Xue’er could speak, Tang Xitan took the initiative instead.
Tang Xue’er replied urgently, “Sister Tan, I saw Fan Yuan enter the Void City and go to the Demon Clan’s garrison.”
“What? Was he injured?” Tang Xitan, who was startled, stood up suddenly. Her expression also changed.
According to her speculations, Ji Hongsen had apparently invited these people to find the Chaos Green Lotus with ill intentions. Since Fan Yuan was back, no matter what happened, Di Jiu would not have an easy time.
If Fan Yuan, Wu Luo, and Ji Hongsen joined forces, Di Jiu would definitely die. Once Di Jiu was dead, she did not believe Ji Hongsen would let her off.
Tang Xitan clenched her fists. Unfortunately, time would not wait for her. If she was given a few more years, after she incorporated the Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix Blood, she would not be afraid even if Ji Hongsen came.
The Phoenix Clan used to be glorious. However, ever since there had been no news from Sacred Lord Han Huang to Heaven’s Beyond, the Phoenix Clan no longer was the strong clan it used to be.
“Based on my observation, he is not injured. Plus, his aura is very strong,” Tang Xue’er answered, as she also understood Tang Xitan’s situation.
Tang Xitan frowned. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard a voice. “Is Senior Sister Tang Xitan here? The Sacred Dao Sect’s Tang Beiwei came to visit.”
“Tang Beiwei?” Tang Xitan quickly remembered and hurriedly shouted, “Hurry up and invite her in! No, I’ll go by myself.”
Tang Xitan hurried downstairs and saw a somewhat haggard woman on the first floor of the Divine Phoenix Inn. Despite the woman’s complexion, Tang Xitan was shocked by her stunning looks. There were many beauties in the Phoenix Clan. However, compared to Tang Beiwei in front of her, these beauties could only be considered slightly beautiful.
“You’re Junior Sister Tang Beiwei?” Tang Xitan hurried forward to greet her.
“Yes, Beiwei greets you, Senior Sister Xitan.” When Tang Beiwei smiled slightly, it felt as if fresh flowers had bloomed. However, the entire space lost its color in a moment.
“Ha ha… Junior Sister Xitan, it’s easier to do things if you’re still here.” A hearty laugh was heard. Tang Xitan trembled when she heard this voice and her face paled slightly. Fan Yuan came, not even giving her any time to think.
