Ninth In the World

Di Jiu was pleased. After he revealed the Heavenly Aqua, no one’s expression seemed to indicate that there was an arrest warrant for him. Most people were slightly surprised to see the red embellishments on the Heavenly Aqua’s handle.

Ren Bafei was dumbfounded. He had never seen such a moronic cultivator like Di Jiu. How dare an early-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator act so arrogantly in front of him and say that he was seeking death?

After a few seconds, he laughed. “I would like to see you make me beg for death.”

Ren Xinxuan grabbed a saber. He was about to attack Di Jiu, when Ren Bafei stopped him. “Move away. I have lived for a long time, yet this is the first time I’m seeing such a formidable early-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator. I would like to see how this formidable early-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator will make me beg for death.”

Di Jiu’s attention was not on Ren Bafei. In his opinion, Ren Bafei was a weakling. When he noticed that no one paid special attention to his Heavenly Aqua, Di Jiu lifted his hand and removed his mask. He chuckled as he told Ren Bafei, “The reason you survived to this date is because you had yet to encounter me. Now that you have met me and heard my advice, you will naturally not be able to live much longer…”

Di Jiu had never been so chatty while facing an opponent before. As he spoke, his Spiritual Force was still on the surrounding cultivators. He even turned his head around and let everyone see his face.

Although he was now revealing his face, he was pleased that no one had noticed him.

Di Jiu let out a sigh of relief. It looked like he was truly not being hunted down. Had that first-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivator not reacted to the situation, or had he yet to say anything out loud?

Di Jiu had originally intended to head to the Prophecy Island as soon as he killed everyone on the Spirit Blaze Team.

He was not bothered by the fact that Di Jiu was in disguise.

Di Jiu laughed. “Senior? Don’t talk to me like I’m really old. We are still teammates and friends. How did you guys end up getting cornered here?”

Fu Che told Di Jiu what had happened. They had been blocked by the Spirit Blaze Team and the Twilight Team while picking Roast Divine Herbs. Meanwhile, he informed him that each of them had obtained more than 10 Roast Divine Herbs.

“Young Master Di, I have some Roast Divine Herbs here…” When he saw Di Jiu’s prowess, a mid-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator immediately took out two Roast Divine Herbs and gave them to Di Jiu. He had heard Di Jiu call himself a ‘Young Master’ just now and say that calling him ‘Senior’ made him seem old. Hence, he had taken the liberty of calling him Young Master Di.

When this Essence Soul Realm cultivator took the lead, the rest of the cultivators took out a couple of Roast Divine Herbs and formed a line. Di Jiu knew without asking that they wanted something from him.

He knew that they wanted him to stop Yin Lin.

However, he had not taken Yin Lin seriously, nor had he taken a fancy to those blue Roast Divine Herbs.

Based on his experience, Yin Lin should be able to see that Di Jiu could kill him easily.

“Keep your items. How could I gain any benefits for doing a good deed? If I hadn’t just said my name out loud accidentally, I would not even have told you who I am. When you leave this place, you should not repeat my name. I’d like to stay under the radar,” said Di Jiu as he pushed the Roast Divine Herb the cultivator had given him back.

He was certain that the more things like this he said, the faster his reputation would spread. If they got what they wanted from him, these people would definitely talk about him. After obtaining the Roast Divine Herbs, their next stop would be the Five Continent City. The Five Continent Dao Convention was currently being held in the Five Continent City, so his reputation would definitely rise.

Yin Lin’s face had turned ugly. Di Jiu walked over to him, cupped his fists and said, “Young Master Di Jiu has a piece of advice for you…”

Although Di Jiu had told everyone not to spread his name, he was constantly repeating it himself.

Before he could say anything else, Yin Lin also cupped his fists and said, “You did not have to speak this way, Daoist Di. I had no intention of seizing anyone’s Roast Divine Herbs. I just came here to take a look. Just to take a look…”

Di Jiu had actually dared kill Ren Bafei. Thus, Yin Lin believed that he would not take mercy on him. Ren Bafei’s cousin was on the Sea Roll, while he had no support whatsoever.

Di Jiu nodded his head and cupped his fists before the uneasy cultivators as he said, “In that case, we will all go our separate ways. Meeting here was fate. If anyone needs my help in the future, I will help them without hesitation. Let’s go, Brother Fu.”

“Thank you, Young Master Di!” Grateful voices were heard as all the cultivators went their separate ways, rushing out of the plain in the outer region of the Herald Night Lake as fast as they could.

Heading to the Five Continent City after obtaining the Roast Divine Herbs was their most important mission.

Just as Di Jiu had predicted, the name ‘Young Master Di’ became well-known almost instantly. At first, there were rumors about Di Jiu killing seven Essence Soul Realm experts of the Spirit Blaze Team and one early-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator with one saber move. Among the seven experts had also been someone halfway to the Void Spirit Realm.

Later on, there were rumors that the saber flares had oppressed and killed the seven members of the Spirit Blaze Team when Young Master Di had taken out his red embellished saber. Afterwards, Young Master Di had reprimanded Yin Lin about being righteous in character and told him that greed was a self-harming act.

This way, the name “Young Master Red Embellishment” spread far and beyond. The Young Master Red Embellishment’s saber was the scariest.

However, people actually said that the scariest part of the Young Master Red Embellishment was not his saber, but his advice. He had advised Ren Bafei from the Spirit Blaze Team, yet Ren Bafei had not listened and ended up dead. He had also advised team leader Yin Lin from the Twilight Team, who had not dared do anything. No one had seen Yin Lin ever since that incident. Everyone was saying that he could have shared the same fate as Ren Bafei.

However, this was nothing. What impressed everyone was that people said that the Young Master Red Embellishment was lofty. He liked to help people, but disliked to get credit and reap any benefits.

No one even noticed how the names “Young Master Red Embellishment Di Jiu” and “Red-Embellishment Saber Warrior Di Jiu” came about.
