Ninth In the World

Mu Jie looked at Di Jiu in despair and said grimly, “Daoist Zimo, I’ve let you down.”

 She had always thought that Di Jiu had entered the Wormhole to help her out and save Ni Luan. However, she had not expected that Ni Luan would be killed by Di Jiu.

 Mu Jie felt guilty, but Di Jiu was even guiltier. After all, he had harmed Mu Jie. If Mu Jie was like Wang Xie, what had been done had already been done. However, he felt that he had let her down.

 Di Jiu knew that it was impossible to save Mu Jie under Ni Xiren’s nose. An expert like Ni Xiren only said empty words besides relying on his strength to prevail over him.

 After realizing that he could not save Mu Jie, Di Jiu set up several nomological array flags without hesitation. Even though Ni Xiren was way stronger than him, without needing to use his Spiritual Force to check in detail, he definitely would not have expected Di Jiu to casually rely on his intent to set up nomological array flags in this space.

 The instant that Di Jiu finished setting up the nomological array flags, a white flare void landed and directly cleaved at the place between Mu Jie’s eyebrows.

 A bloody mist soared. Mu Jie’s Principal Spirit overflowed and started disintegrating. It was evident that this white flare was beyond terrifying. Di Jiu then threw a fireball over. “Union Lord Mu, I’m sorry. You should have protected Young Master well…”

 Bam! Mu Jie’s physical body was instantly enveloped by a flame. At the same time, her Principal Spirit dissipated.

 Ni Xiren, who had not expected Di Jiu to make a move on his behalf, immediately understood that Di Jiu wanted to win his favor. It was normal, so he did not mind it. He had wanted to cast a fireball out himself, but Di Jiu had done so on his behalf. Therefore, he was disinclined to throw another one out.

 In the Murderous Dao Lake, he could sense immediately if Ni Xiren was approaching.

 Once he entered his cave abode, Di Jiu called out Mu Jie’s Principal Spirit. At the same time, he took out her half-burned physical body.

 “Daoist Zimo, you saved me? But…” While she was in Di Jiu’s Quintessential World, Mu Jie had figured out that there was no other explanation besides the possibility that Di Jiu had saved her.

 However, she did not understand. How could he have saved her?

 Di Jiu cupped his fists and said shamefully, “I’m sorry, Daoist Mu. I caused harm to you this time.”

 “Ah…” Mu Jie did not understand what Di Jiu meant at all. She was the one who had harmed Di Jiu. How come it was the other way around?

 Di Jiu said sternly, “My real name is Di Jiu. Zimo is my alias. I suspect that Ni Luan killed one of my friends, so I secretly got Ni Luan into the Wormhole.”

 Mu Jie stared blankly at Di Jiu as she finally understood why Di Jiu had immediately followed Ni Luan into the Wormhole. It turned out that Di Jiu had wanted to kill Ni Luan.

 After some time, Mu Jie sighed. “Forget it. You’re much more straightforward and upright than the cultivators I have met. Although I don’t know how you saved my Principal Spirit in front of Ni Xiren, I’m sure that you risked your life so I do not mind anymore.”

 There was nothing to do even if she did. She was now left with only a Principal Spirit that Di Jiu had saved by bringing it to this place. This was actually the same as not saving her.

 In such a place, her Principal Spirit would still perish sooner or later. Moreover, her Principal Spirit was already disintegrating rapidly and would vanish without a trace very soon.

 Di Jiu was relieved when she said that. He lifted his hand to take out a jade box and put it beside Mu Jie’s burned physical body before he said, “I happened to obtain this Two-Realm Flower by chance. It should be enough to restore you. As for going to the Dao World, you don’t have to worry. I will definitely take you over there.”

 Mu Jie’s Principal Spirit was stunned into silence. After dozens of breaths, she came back to her senses and shouted excitedly, “Daoist Zi… Di, you’re talking about the Two-Realm Flower?”

 She naturally had not known about the Two-Realm Flower before she had ascended. However, after staying here for so many years, she was not completely unaware of it. If anyone knew that there was a pair of Two-Realm Flowers here, even the strongest person in the Dao World would fight over it. This was a priceless treasure after all.

The Two-Realm Flower was not a Dao fruit but it was more precious than most of them. It not only could validate the Dao, but it was also an antidote for a great number of poisons. It could also model the physical body and merge the Principal Spirit. These were the most basic uses of the Two-Realm Flower.

 “That’s right, these are Two-Realm Flowers indeed.” Di Jiu also knew how precious they were. If Zhuo Wujia had not ascended and shattered the void back then, he definitely would have picked the third pair of Two-Realm Flowers. However, if he had hesitated even for a breath’s time, he would not have had the chance to leave the space between the two realms.
