Ninth In the World

“I’ll do it!” Shan Xing had already taken a step forward and struck the Thunder Yang Sect’s Defense Array with his polearm when he saw Di Jiu walking towards it.

Everyone else gasped as they watched. Di Jiu could strike the Defense Array but not Shan Xing, unless he did not want to stay in the Thunder Court Immortal Continent anymore.

Di Jiu naturally understood the consequences of what Shan Xing had done. He hated Li Lei too much and also wanted to become friends with Di Jiu.

However, he would not allow Shan Xing to bear this alone and get attacked by other people. After Shan Xing struck the Thunder Yang Sect’s Defense Array once, Di Jiu told the other Immortal Emperors softly, “The Beast Tide was drawn here by Li Lei, so attacking the Thunder Yang Sect’s Defense Array should not be done by someone who is alone. If anyone is unwilling to do so, please step forward and leave this place immediately.”

Di Jiu did not know whether Li Lei had done so. Regardless of that, he had to slander him first.

Everyone was stunned. What did he mean? Did he want everyone to pledge their allegiance?

Di Jiu watched numerous Immortal Emperors and Sect Masters coldly. He had already decided that if these people were unwilling to make a move, then after he ripped apart the Thunder Yang Sect’s Defense Array, he would save Qu Hen and Chen Zishun and leave immediately. It was none of his business whether the Thunder Court Immortal Continent was destroyed by the Beast Tide.

When Tie Beishan’s gaze landed on Di Jiu’s sneer, he understood instantly. They were different from Di Jiu. They lived in the Thunder Court Immortal Continent, while Di Jiu was here to save people. As for the Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s safety, it was none of Di Jiu’s business. He was just a passerby.

Di Jiu was an expert who could kill the Thunder Emperor. He was not afraid even though he was surrounded by the Thunder Emperor and six other Immortal Emperors. If Di Jiu left, the Thunder Court Immortal Continent would not hold back the Beast Tide and everyone would only wait for death.

Regardless of how many calculations he made, the Thunder Court Immortal Continent definitely could not be occupied by the demon beasts. Once that happened, he would not even have a home. What was the use of saying anything else?

“Why would Li Lei allow you to come here alone?” Chen Zishun asked in disbelief.

Even if Di Jiu and Li Lei had already discussed this beforehand, Li Lei would not allow Di Jiu to come here alone. However, he had come in by himself.

Di Jiu chuckled. “He would definitely not let me come in alone. I killed him…”

Di Jiu had already undone the restriction on Qu Hen and Chen Zishun.

“You killed Li Lei?” Qu Hen asked subconsciously. This was really outrageous. Di Jiu had killed Li Lei? When Zhong Ao had been sabotaged and had fled, they had seen it clearly. How had Di Jiu killed Li Lei without Zhong Ao?

Boom! An intense tremble exploded outside before void demon beasts that were close together appeared in Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force.

Di Jiu sighed silently. He knew this void Beast Tide had already ripped apart the Defense Array.

Countless Thunder Court Immortal Continent cultivators were fighting with this endless void Beast Tide. Everyone was aware that there was no way out of this battle. If they retreated, they would not have a place to live anymore.

“The Beast Tide ripped apart the Defense Array…” Qu Hen and Chen Zishun’s faces turned very pale.

Di Jiu immediately told them, “Let’s go out and have a look.”

“Di Jiu, I suspect that this Beast Tide was drawn here by Li Lei, who is very mysterious. Back when he brought us in, there were some hints hidden in his words. However, he didn’t expect you to kill him and save us,” Qu Hen suddenly told Di Jiu as he followed him.

Di Jiu stopped in his tracks. “Guild Master Qu, I also suspect that someone drew the Beast Tide in. If it was Li Lei, why did he do it?”

Qu Hen sighed. “I suspect it was just like the Square Immortal Continent. He did it for the light from providence.”

Upon seeing that Di Jiu had doubts, Qu Hen explained, “A connate treasure ensured the light from providence would shine in the Thunder Court Immortal Continent. The treasure was called Thunderclap Pearl, and only Li Lei knew where it was. That’s right, it’s like the Square Immortal Continent’s Square Immortal Cauldron…”

Qu Hen thought of the Square Immortal Cauldron and sensed that the problems the two immortal continents faced were similar.

“Li Lei could have just taken away the Thunderclap Pearl. Why did he need to draw the Beast Tide in?” Di Jiu was even more confused.

Qu Hen answered, “Li Lei knew where the Thunderclap Pearl is, and I’m afraid that many other people are aware of that too. If Li Lei took the Thunderclap Pearl, he would become everyone’s target. He simply made use of the Beast Tide to destroy the Thunder Court Immortal Continent. When that happened, he would take the Thunderclap Pearl. Maybe someone would even praise him.”

Di Jiu understood. The Thunder Emperor was just like Immortal Emperor Yi Mang. However, Immortal Emperor Yi Mang had acted very directly, while Li Lei was beating around the bush. They were both scumbags who did this for themselves and destroyed an immortal continent.

Di Jiu thought of Immortal Emperor Yi Mang, who had gathered the light from providence by using the instructions of an even higher world. Could Li Lei also have received the same thing?

If his theory was correct, there would be someone similar in the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent and the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent. Ye Xi, the top expert of the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent, would be the most suitable candidate. However, he had been killed by Di Jiu, so who was that person in the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent?

He had accidentally gotten rid of the few people who wanted to take away the Dharma treasure that ensured the light from providence would shine in the Immortal World. He wondered if the expert who had set everything up knew about it and whether he wanted to go to great lengths to kill him.

No matter how terrifying it was, what had been done was done. He would do it again given another chance.

“Protector Di, Li Lei drew the Beast Tide over. I reckoned that part of it was due to you. He made use of me to draw you here. He knew I would definitely come over when the Beast Tide appeared in the Thunder Court Immortal Continent because I was born here. He would arrest me when I came and you would definitely come to find me…” Qu Hen added.

“Alchemy Emperor Di, please help us. The Beast Core is too overwhelming…” Tie Beishan’s voice could suddenly be heard outside.

“Let’s go and destroy this Beast Tide first.” Di Jiu led the way out.

As far as he could see, the demon beasts were standing close together. Numerous cultivators were swallowed by the demon beasts every second, while many demon beasts were almost killed.

Unfortunately, there were simply too many demon beasts. The cultivators in the Thunder Court Immortal Continent were considered a lot but seemed to be somewhat insufficient compared to the endless void demon beasts.

“Alchemy Emperor Di, what do we do now?” Tie Beishan killed a level-eight void demon beast and rushed to Di Jiu’s side before hurriedly asking this question.

Di Jiu frowned. If these demon beasts could not be killed in one go, the Thunder Court Immortal Continent would not last long.
