Ninth In the World

“Brother Di, this has nothing to do with me. Bai Ye from the New Moon Commercial Building and Sect Master Xiling Yuanyi from the Buzhou Immortal Sect were the ones who instructed Jie Guangmao to pin your two friends to the gates of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. It is something I had no control over. Brother Di, you should know that I have to do something when someone attacks the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s Defense Array. I am the City Lord after all!” shouted Mi Ji almost as soon as Di Jiu killed Xiling Yuanyi.

In truth, he had already stopped attacking the Confinement Killing Immortal Array, as its level was simply too high. There was a small possibility of breaking the array open if everyone united.

However, everyone was acting by themselves, attacking places on the array at will. Such an act would not be of much use short-term.

Furthermore, Meng Qianqian had never attacked once. Within the Defense Array was also Yin Wushang, who was on Di Jiu’s side, and Old Zhong, who had remained hidden until now.

“Daoist Di, you are friends with Little Huang. I did commit many mistakes, but I have always viewed you as part of my family. Yue Wuliang captured your beast companion Black Fire, and I intended to negotiate with him to make him release Black Fire…” Xie Wanling informed him hurriedly, sounding anxious.

If Di Jiu had been able to kill Xiling Yuanyi, it meant that Di Jiu could kill Xie Wanling as well.

Every second he stayed in such a top-notch Confinement Killing Immortal Array made his strength deteriorate significantly, while Di Jiu’s strength increased. Asking for Di Jiu’s forgiveness should be his priority.

Di Jiu, who took no heed of Mi Ji and Xie Wanling, threw out numerous array flags and lunged at Yue Wuliang with a swing of the Heavenly Aqua Saber.

Yue Wuliang’s facial expression was extremely ugly when he saw Di Jiu approaching him. He did not think that he was much stronger than Xiling Yuanyi. Di Jiu’s ability to kill Xiling Yuanyi meant that Di Jiu could kill him as well.

“Daoist Di…” Xie Wanling stared at Di Jiu in horror. He was afraid that Di Jiu would kill him as well.

Di Jiu walked over to Yue Wuliang before lifting his hand and slapping him.

Yue Wuliang did not sense any killing intent, so he was not worried. After all, he had said before that he would allow Di Jiu to place a restriction on him. In any case, he would just remove it after he left this place. He knew that he would not be able to strike back at Di Jiu judging by the way Xie Wanling had been sent flying away by Old Zhong without any chance of resistance.

When Di Jiu’s hand landed on Yue Wuliang’s head, the latter felt a brief numbing sensation.

At that moment, his humiliation would have to take the backseat. Yue Wuliang wanted to immediately find where Di Jiu had placed the restriction on his body.

He was astonished when he could not find the Spiritual Force restriction placed on him by Di Jiu.

“Old Yue, you’re a Great Immortal Emperor. How could I possibly have placed a restriction on you? I will forgive you this time. Follow me from now on and remember not to make such a stupid mistake again.” Di Jiu laughed heartily.

He was indeed very happy. Yue Wuliang’s expression clearly told Di Jiu that he had not found the nomological imprint he had placed within him. This imprint was something the target would not be able to sense at all if they did not sense it immediately.

“Thank you for being so magnanimous. I was foolhardy to capture your beast companion…”

Yue Wuliang lifted his hand and Black Fire landed on the ground.

“Big Brother!” exclaimed Black Fire happily the moment he came out.

When Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force landed on Black Fire, he knew that the latter had not suffered much. It was probably because Yue Wuliang had yet to find the right method to make Black Fire recognize him as his owner.

“You are getting worse if anyone can capture you.” Di Jiu slapped Black Fire’s head unceremoniously before waving his hand.

All array flags controlling the Confinement Killing Array and all the rings were taken away by Di Jiu, and the first-floor hall regained its spaciousness and airiness.

The only difference was that the floor was tainted with blood now.

Di Jiu did not attack Mi Ji or Yin Wushang and Meng Qianqian, who had not participated in the attack.

Only Cheng Xingren from the Star Elixir Dispensary and Deputy City Lord Jie Guangmao from the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City remained out of the original Immortal Supremacy experts. All the others had been killed either by the Confinement Killing Immortal Array or by Di Jiu and Zhong Ao.

The originally chaotic battle had turned into a one-sided massacre due to the presence of Zhong Ao’s heaven-defying Confinement Killing Immortal Array.

“Thank you for taking pity on us, Brother Di. The Eternal Moon Building was influenced by Xiling Yuanyi as well…” Meng Qianqian felt thankful that she had not attacked the Confinement Killing Immortal Array, or she would have followed the footsteps of Guild Master Fu Jue otherwise.

Before Meng Qianqian could finish speaking, Di Jiu interrupted her. “Old Zhong, judging by her childish words, this woman thinks that I am attending kindergarten. Let’s refresh her memory and remind her that this is not a place where a fifth-stage Immortal Emperor can speak their mind, even if we did not have a Confinement Killing Immortal Array here.”

Meng Qianqian did not have any time to guess how Di Jiu had been able to see through her cultivation, as an Immortal Essence hand suddenly grabbed her.

She was a fifth-stage Immortal Emperor expert. While frantically extending her Domain, she intended to admit her mistakes to Di Jiu once again after she broke free from Zhong Ao’s Immortal Essence hand.

The Immortal Essence hand seemed to move at a leisurely pace, not stopping while it ripped apart Meng Qianqian’s domain and strangled her. She fell to the ground while this happened.

Suddenly, several cracking sounds were heard. Meng Qianqian sensed that she was about to lose her cultivation and felt death approaching.

“Have mercy on me, Brother Di. The Eternal Moon Building was truly blind this time. That’s why it dared to covet your possessions. We are willing to compensate you for any losses you have suffered.” Meng Qianqian no longer felt that she could get away unscathed.

Di Jiu nodded his head. “That’s more like it. Remember to learn how to be an eloquent speaker before attempting to seize other people’s possessions. Otherwise, someone could die.”
