Ninth In the World

The remaining eight Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors looked at one another. Even Ji Hongsen had failed to predict that something like this would happen. He had invited a bunch of Primordial Chaos experts to supplement his level-nine Divine Array disc, not the lake.

Fan Yuan looked solemnly at Ji Hongsen and stated, “Insular Lord Ji, we will most likely not be able to reach the Chaos Green Lotus given our strength…”

Then, the Chaos Green Lotus suddenly became blurry and charged out with a green flare.

“The Chaos Green Lotus is trying to escape! Everyone, stop it!” Ji Hongsen lifted his hand, threw out more than 1,000 array flags, and attacked the Chaos Green Lotus with his Dharma treasure.

There was no need for Ji Hongsen to be reminded, as all seven Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors took out their Dharma treasures the moment the Chaos Green Lotus began its escape. At the same time, the domains of these Sacred Emperors were stacked together and enveloped the Chaos Green Lotus. The Green Lotus’s natural defense was weakened by this combined attack.

Ji Hongsen smirked sinisterly. Then, he took out at least 5,000 array flags. However, he soon discovered that someone had not joined them in this attack against the Chaos Green Lotus.

Ji Hongsen identified this person as Dao Chuanxun. It enraged him when he saw that Dao Chuanxun had snatched the two Five-Element Flags, turned, and left instead of participating in oppressing the Green Lotus.

Ji Hongsen was livid. Unfortunately, he was currently unable to attack Dao Chuanxun and could only hasten to set up the array. Other than hating Dao Chuanxun for escaping, he hated Di Jiu as well. Di Jiu had spoiled his plans, causing Dao Chuanxun to be able to run away.

Guang Mingzi was supposed to prevent anyone from escaping while Ji Hongsen sealed the major array. However, that weakling Di Jiu had just killed his accomplice.

If Guang Mingzi had still been there, Dao Chuanxun would definitely have been trapped within the level-nine Divine Array disc and used as a sacrifice for the Chaos Green Lotus.

There was no way he would attack the rest of the Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors now. It would be meaningless to stay any further when the Green Lotus had already escaped. Gou Zibi was a very decisive person. After understanding what was going on, he instantly turned and left.

…

Di Jiu remained at the exit of the eight-trigram array pattern, clearly sensing that his two Five-Element Flags were coming closer and closer. He sneered. That bastard Ji Hongsen was finally there. Di Jiu was certain that Ji Hongsen had failed to obtain the Green Lotus and now intended to take the Five-Element Flags.

Di Jiu frowned when he identified the person rushing over as Dao Chuanxun and not Ji Hongsen.

This did not make sense. Why would Dao Chuanxun dare to seize the Five-Element Flags? Regardless of the reason, Dao Chuanxun could not leave, as the flags were in his hands.

When Dao Chuanxun entered the Confinement Killing Array, he yelled, “Daoist Di, I helped you snatch the two Five-Element Flags! I am leaving now and I will return the flags to you!”

Dao Chuanxun threw the two Five-Element Flags into the air as though they were something ordinary and not two Connate array flags.

Di Jiu instantly comprehended Dao Chuanxun’s intentions. After some hesitation, he opened the Confinement Killing Array and let Dao Chuanxun go.

Dao Chuanxun let out a long breath of relief the moment he dashed out of the eight-trigram array pattern. He wiped the cold sweat forming on his forehead before rushing out of the Netherworld Corner Castle.

He wouldn’t dare take Di Jiu’s Five-Element Flags, but he had taken them with him because he knew that Di Jiu would not let him get away. There was no way Di Jiu would not set up a Confinement Killing Array at the exit, considering Di Jiu’s Array Dao standards. The two Five-Element Flags would thus be used as a toll fee.

Di Jiu did not know what was going on. Dao Chuanxun had just left, but the second unexpected cultivator he saw was Gou Zibi.

From a distance, Gou Zibi shouted, “Daoist Di, we are friends and not enemies! I have no intention of helping the rest who are on their way here. I will owe you a debt of gratitude if you let me go…”

By the time Gou Zibi finished his last sentence, he had already entered the Confinement Killing Array.

Di Jiu knew that the others must have guessed that he had set up a Confinement Killing Array here. Even if all nine of them came here at the same time, he would need to let some of them go. Since Gou Zibi had said all that, Di Jiu did not intend to take any action against him.

As expected, Gou Zibi immediately disappeared from his sight, just like Dao Chuanxun, the moment he exited Di Jiu’s Confinement Killing Array.
