Chapter 549 - Entering the Wormhole
Di Jiu knew that he had no chance to find evidence here or outside, regardless of whether the lady was truly Xiuqi.
His Spiritual Force landed within the pitch-black Wormhole. This Wormhole might be dangerous, but he should be able to survive entering it since he possessed the Spiritual Force escape technique.
He must enter the Wormhole to check it out this time, or he would not have the heart to cultivate otherwise.
Di Jiu glanced at Ni Luan, intending to eliminate the latter first before entering the Wormhole. Ni Luan, who was still choosing the position he intended to occupy, did not know that he was considered a dead man in Di Jiu’s eyes. After taking his time, he chose a center position that would put him on the trail but would not put him in too much danger.
Di Jiu had already implanted nomological array flags around Ni Luan. Others might not be able to kill the man stealthily, but Di Jiu was capable of doing so.
The previous wave of worms had been huge, and many worms had been killed. Di Jiu had to wait for four hours before the new wave arrived.
This wave was definitely larger than the previous wave. However, Di Jiu knew very well that this was still not considered a Worm Tide, as there was no incoming surge of worms.
Mu Jie had already situated herself by Ni Luan’s side while instructing others to take note and guard Ni Luan. Ni Luan might be a mere Deputy Guild Master of a Chamber of Commerce, but he was still an existence whose wrath they could not afford to incur. Mu Jie was certain that she would be held responsible for anything that happened to Ni Luan.
Boom! A big wave of worms swarmed over. One saber move of Di Jiu’s killed numerous worms. The oncoming worms evidently sensed that Di Jiu’s area was dangerous so they all charged toward the center.
However, it had happened before his eyes. How could he not believe that this was the truth?
…
Di Jiu used his Spiritual Force to track his Spiritual Force imprint the moment he entered the Wormhole. A Spiritual Force imprint had been left in Ni Luan by Di Jiu’s Jumbo Footprint. The reason he had come here was to capture Ni Luan as fast as possible and make Ni Luan draw a portrait of the lady he had kicked into the Wormhole.
Di Jiu was confident that Ni Luan would not be killed by the worms so easily. After all, the Wormhole might be dangerous, but the real danger lay in the Worm Protectorate beyond the Wormhole, not within the Wormhole itself.
The changes in fluctuation of the Heaven Earth Law within the Wormhole were huge and they interweaved with the spatial chaos of the two worlds. Ni Luan felt extremely uncomfortable as he was continuously tossed in the air of the Wormhole. Di Jiu, on the other hand, did not find it hard to get used to the environment in the slightest.
As Di Jiu had predicted, Ni Luan was in no danger. He had activated a protection talisman and used a defense Dharma treasure.
The nomological changes and spatial chaos only made Ni Luan feel uncomfortable but were insufficient to kill him.
His Spiritual Force was unable to extend because the nomological changes within the Wormhole were far too great.
Di Jiu did not need to extend his Spiritual Force, as he had already spotted Ni Luan, who was repeatedly being tossed around, with his Dao eye.
Boom! Ni Luan collided with a huge floating rampart and bounced back, spitting out mouthfuls of blood. On the upside, he had stopped being tossed and could stabilize his body.
Feeling pleasantly surprised, Ni Luan saw an invisible defense restriction that he charged towards without hesitation. The defense restriction might be invisible, but it was not difficult for him to enter the area. After all, he was knowledgeable in the Array Dao.
However, just as he took out some array flags and was about to rip apart this defense restriction, he suddenly felt the space around him constrict. Then, a huge hand seal appeared, grabbed his neck, and lifted him up.
“You…” Ni Luan had evidently recognized Di Jiu, as he stared at Di Jiu in disbelief. However, he had only uttered one word when his throat seemed to get sealed.
Di Jiu said calmly, “That’s right, it is I. I saw that you entered the Wormhole, so I was very anxious. That’s why I quickly came here to save you.”
“Quickly, let me down then!” This was what Ni Luan wanted to say the most. However, he dared not be disrespectful to Di Jiu. Enraged, he silently decided to rip Di Jiu into pieces later, despite being unable to say anything at the moment.
Di Jiu did put him down, but his nomological array flags instantly set up an invisible major array in the surroundings.
A moment later, a huge wave of worms came back, swiftly brushing by Di Jiu and Ni Luan. Di Jiu knew that Mu Jie and the rest must have driven this wave of worms back.
“What do you want?” While suppressing his anger, Ni Luan glared at Di Jiu, who had placed a restriction within him in a very short time.
