Ninth In the World

“Who are you? How dare you oppose my family?” A bearded big man stood up and lifted his pistol at the same time.

Before he could lift the pistol and shoot, a chill surrounded his wrist. He looked at his wrist in fear and his pistol fell to the ground.

“I, Shan Qianren, have many warrior friends. Everyone might know about the origin of warriors. The Shan Family has never provoked you. Who are you? Why are you so ruthless and merciless?” The old man stood up all of a sudden and stared firmly at Di Jiu.

Di Jiu had already pulled Shan Xiuqi into his embrace and thrown out dozens of fireballs. Both of the Shan Family members were prepared to make a move but were turned into dust by his fireball without any exception.

When the last fireball landed on Shan Qianren, he heard Di Jiu’s voice. “I’m Di Jiu. I welcome the Shan Family to cause me trouble. I’ll be staying in Wang Chuan Temple on the Forgetful River Mountain Range often in the future.”

Shan Qianren clearly saw Di Jiu’s fireball get thrown over to him but could not avoid it even though he was a Heaven Tier Warrior. Meanwhile, fear flashed past his eyes. What kind of strength was this? Heaven Tier or Semi-Core? Or an expert who had even surpassed the Semi-Core? Even if he was a Semi-Core expert, he should not be able to throw a fireball out so casually, right?

When had an expert who had surpassed the Semi-Core appeared on Earth? The Shan Family had never heard of anyone like that before.

Di Jiu came and went fast.

When Shan Qianren got back to his senses, the flame on him was extinguished. Everyone in the hall who was burned by Di Jiu’s fireball was turned into dust except him.

Shan Qianren was not happy at all. His meridians were entirely broken, so he knew that he could not live for long.

By the time Shan Xiuqi woke up, Di Jiu had already arrived outside Wang Chuan Temple. Her injuries were healed after taking his healing elixirs.

Di Jiu used his Spiritual Force. After so many years, the ruins of Wang Chuan Temple were already filled with overgrown, withered weeds.

A fair distance away from the Forgetful River Mountain Range were numerous level-one demon beasts that were detected by Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force. There were also all kinds of ferocious beasts.

This place should have been deserted since there were so many demon beasts. Ordinary warriors who came here would only be courting death.

However, Di Jiu discovered a small road amid the ruins of Wang Chuan Temple.

Someone had come here before? And not just once either. Who possessed the strength and bravery to come to such a desolate place as the Wang Chuan Temple?

“Di Jiu, why are you here? Huh? Where is this?” Shan Xiuqi came to her senses and looked at the surrounding jungle in surprise.

There were no traces of snow here. It was obvious that this was not the Major Crooked District anymore.

That was not right. She must have been taken away by the Shan Family. They had been hitting her with a long whip at the time to force her to tell them Di Jiu’s whereabouts.

“This is the Forgetful River Mountain Range. I brought you here.” Di Jiu smiled but felt somewhat guilty. He had taken advantage of Shan Xiuqi, who had saved him.

When he had done it with her, he had treated Shan Xiuqi like Zhen Man. This was due to that trace of obsession deep in his heart, not because he had still been thinking of her.

He was very grateful to Shan Xiuqi, who had helped him remove that trace of obsession he had felt for Zhen Man.

Di Jiu believed that feelings could be nurtured. When he had first seen Shan Xiuqi, he had not had any feelings. However, she was now the other half in his life that he could not lose.

“You saved me and escaped to the Forgetful River Mountain Range?” Shan Xiuqi came to her senses and questioned Di Jiu as she looked at him in surprise.

Di Jiu nodded. “Yes, I saved you and brought you here. I hope you can live with me in the future if you like. When I leave…”

Di Jiu was too embarrassed to carry on. He was sure that when he had dominated Shan Xiuqi, he had not been given her permission. Not only did he want her to live with him now, but he also wanted to bring her along when he left Earth. He seemed to be too selfish.

“Of course. I will leave with you. We already…” Shan Xiuqi blurted out. She had just transformed from a young lady and felt very embarrassed to be saying that.

“Hold on a minute… I’ll set up a place for us to stay here…” Di Jiu took out a cave abode Dharma treasure from the Quintessential World.

Shan Xiuqi did not mind Di Jiu’s actions at all. She only wondered how he had saved her from the Shan Family.

“Big Brother Di, how did you save me from the Shan Family?” Shan Xiuqi asked what she wanted. She knew how formidable Shan Qianren was. Plus, there were numerous Heaven Tier experts.

“I knocked them down and saved you,” Di Jiu casually told her. He did not tell her that he had killed the entire Shan Family in Honor Parade City. After all, she was part of the family and he did not want any misunderstandings between them.

“You’re a warrior? Don’t tell me you’re a Heaven Tier expert?” Shan Qianren responded. If Di Jiu was not an expert above the Heaven Tier, how could he have saved her from Shan Qianren?

Di Jiu shook his head. “I’m not a Heaven Tier warrior…”

Shan Xiuqi was not surprised. Di Jiu looked so young… How could he be a Heaven Tier warrior? She was sure that Di Jiu had secretly gone to save her when she had been locked up.

“Ah…” When Shan Xiuqi lifted her head and stopped thinking, she happened to see a magnificent detached villa.

This place was certainly full of ruins…

“Big Brother Di…” Shan Xiuqi covered her mouth as she looked at Di Jiu and the detached villa behind him in disbelief.

Di Jiu pointed at his ring. “I have a storage ring. As for this house, wait for me to slowly explain everything to you.”

“Big Brother Di, you have a storage ring?” Shan Xiuqi looked at him in shock.

It was Di Jiu’s turn to be surprised. “Xiuqi, you know what’s a storage ring?”

Shan Xiuqi nodded her head with all her strength. She naturally knew about this thing. There were only two or three on Earth, and each of them was in the hands of an earthshaking person. These storage rings had fallen from the Fairy Planet back then, so she had not expected to see one in Di Jiu’s hands.
