Chapter 548 - The Woman Who Was Kicked Into the Wormhole
This was an existence that could kill Zhuo Wujia instantly. He was an apex Immortal Emperor from the Microwood Immortal Continent, but he was sure that he was an infant compared to Di Jiu.
Even though he was an Immortal Emperor as well, the disparity between them was significant.
“Brother Zimo…”
Zhuo Wujia had just called for Di Jiu when the latter pointed in front and informed him, “The new wave of worms is here. Let us continue attacking.”
Then, nearly 100 worms charged over. These worms were clearly much more powerful than the ones Di Jiu had killed just now. The largest worm was 10 to 20 feet tall, with a horn growing on the top of its head. After opening its pungent mouth, it lunged at Di Jiu.
Saying that this was a demon beast rather than a worm would be a more accurate assessment.
“This is the Jagged Tooth Worm. Its attacking power is apparently extremely strong…”
Zhuo Wujia suddenly stood up while speaking, as there was no longer any need for him to stay like that. Di Jiu had created a white saber screen once more. Just like the wave of worms previously, the new wave posed no threat and was completely eradicated by Di Jiu.
Zhuo Wujia was someone with a reputation in the Immortal World. Here, however, he seemed to be useless.
Kan Yiwei replied with a reverent expression, “Your strength is the best I have seen in my entire life. I am fortunate to be able to get to know you. I come from the Eclipse Rainbow Immortal Continent and have been here for more than 300 years.”
The two saber moves Di Jiu had executed just now had happened quickly, but quite a handful of cultivators had witnessed them. While Kan Yiwei was introducing himself to Di Jiu, the other cultivators who had witnessed Di Jiu’s saber moves planned to get to know Di Jiu as well. This was the first time they were seeing someone with Di Jiu’s strength. There were only benefits to befriending such an expert.
Upon hearing what Kan Yiwei said, Di Jiu started contemplating whether he should inquire about Nong Xiuqi. Then, he suddenly saw the Defense Array open.
He was confused, as Mu Jie had said previously that the Defense Array would not open until the time for changing shifts arrived. This was only the first day, so why had the Defense Array opened?
When the Defense Array opened, a very young man with pale skin walked in. Then, the Defense Array closed once more.
Mu Jie hastily approached the young man and bowed. “Greetings, Guild Master Ni.”
The young man smiled and nodded his head. “Well done. I’m here for a few days only. Don’t mind me.”
“Okay.” Mu Jie bowed once more before retreating.
Kan Yiwei wanted to befriend Di Jiu. Therefore, he transmitted a voice message to Di Jiu when the young man came in. “Brother Zimo, that is Deputy Guild Master Ni Luan from the Moving Essence Chamber of Commerce of the Dao World’s Frosty Moon Sacred Dao City. It is said that he comes here every once in a while.”
Di Jiu looked at Kan Yiwei in confusion. “Brother Kan, his cultivation level is similar to ours, so how did he become the Deputy Guild Master of a Chamber of Commerce in the Dao World?”
Di Jiu was certain that the Moving Essence Chamber of Commerce was not a simple organization, or the fella would not have been able to enter this place at will.
Kan Yiwei chuckled as he silently transmitted another message. “Here’s the thing, Brother Zimo. This person is nothing, but his father, Ni Xiren, is the Guild Master of the Moving Essence Chamber of Commerce.”
“No wonder.” Di Jiu finally understood that this fella was a second-generation brat.
Kan Yiwei added, “Don’t steal worms from him, as he will kill people without preamble. I heard that a lady once killed a Double-Horned Dragon Beast Worm. This man coveted the carcass, so he kicked the lady into the Wormhole. He’s so despicable…”
“What was that lady called?” inquired Di Jiu subconsciously, feeling nervous.
“I only know that there was a ‘Qi’ in her name. I am not sure about her full name…” replied Kan Yiwei casually.
Di Jiu was alarmed. Could it have been Xiuqi?
