Ninth In the World

Chapter 668: Massacring the Castle

Tang Xitan did not say anything else, as she trusted Di Jiu very much. Ever since she had invited him to the Thousand Bamboo Void Island, his foresight and judgment had been more accurate than hers. As she had guessed, if the Demon Clan’s Jin Chengxun had been killed by Di Jiu, he most likely would not fear anyone here.

Everyone boarded the flying boat and the restriction on it was buckled up. Di Jiu stood at the edge of the ship, while Tang Xitan stood beside him.

The flying boat created a shadow and, in the blink of an eye, rushed out of the Thousand Bamboo Void Island’s Defense Array.

A few seconds after the flying boat rushed out of the Defense Array, Di Jiu lifted his hands to take out three array flags and threw them down. At the same time, he ripped the void with his hands and a crack abruptly appeared on the restriction on Ji Hongsen’s flying boat.

In everyone’s opinion, Di Jiu had thrown three Five-Element Flags. In fact, he threw four of them, including the White Cloud Bound Flag incorporated in the Floating Flame Flag.

Di Jiu’s voice was then heard. “Senior Sister Xitan, we’ll meet again.”

Tang Xitan had been waiting for this. However, at that moment, the escape talisman was activated and she immediately vanished without a trace.

Boom! A moment later, Ji Hongsen sent a fist move down. However, Di Jiu did not fight this fist move. He just dodged, strangely freeing himself from Ji Hongsen’s Primordial Chaos domain.

Di Jiu also put away three of his Five-Element Flags. He had put out four but put away three of them, so there was another one left. Unfortunately, even if someone had a comparable Array Dao level with Di Jiu, they could not see through the one array flag he had hidden. This array flag was hidden in his nomological array flag. If they did not have a certain understanding of the Heaven Earth Law, they could not see clearly how he had set up the nomological array flag.

Ji Hongsen did not continue, as he knew that he could not catch up to Tang Xitan anymore. Furthermore, he could also see that Di Jiu had no intention of leaving. He would have done so earlier if he wanted to.

“Daoist, what a great ability. You ripped apart the restriction on my flying boat,” Ji Hongsen coldly said while staring at Di Jiu.

Di Jiu replied lazily, “I don’t have many capabilities. Since my friend doesn’t want to go with us, I sent her away first. If you are unhappy, you can vent your anger on me. I promise to accept it.”

Ji Hongsen laughed. “Daoist Di, we mentioned earlier that after agreeing to go together to look for the Green Lotus, you can’t leave first. However, you deliberately went against that. Could the many people here be unable to win a fight against you?”

Di Jiu opened his palms and the Heavenly Aqua Saber appeared in his hands. He then said without being gentle, “Oh, what can you do if I let my friend leave first? If you’re unhappy, make a move. Stop talking so much.”

Ji Hongsen’s face sank. He scanned the other Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors with his Spiritual Force and realized that besides one or two people, most of them did not have any intention of making a move at all.

Ji Hongsen frowned. He knew very well that before he’d encountered the Chaos Green Lotus, nobody would have wholeheartedly joined forces with him to get rid of Di Jiu. Even though everyone seemed to rely mainly on him, they only wanted him to lead the way to the Chaos Green Lotus. Ji Hongsen was well aware of this. In fact, he was also exploiting them. However, a mere Primordial Dao nobody like Di Jiu was somewhat strange.

“You’re not scared that I’ll kill you?” After Ji Hongsen weighed the benefits, he sounded gentle instead.

Di Jiu chuckled. “Even if you kill me, I’ll make you sustain an injury. Do you think you’d dare to make a move?”

Ji Hongsen laughed. “Not bad. The young will be redoubtable in the years to come.”

After saying that, he did not question Di Jiu again. Instead, he told the other Sacred Emperors where that place was located with a smile.

He had guessed why Di Jiu had dared to do this. Di Jiu had predicted that he would not dare to make a move since there were too many experts around. Ji Hongsen would not dare sustain an injury. Di Jiu thought that with one or two ultimate tactics, he could make him sustain an injury when he made a move. Then, Ji Hongsen would be killed by other people. Di Jiu even thought that if he could not win the fight, he could once again rip apart the restriction on his flying boat.

Since Ji Hongsen had not come out for a long time, could he perhaps be viewed as a soft egg that could be kneaded?

He would not make a move indeed. This was not because he was afraid of getting injured or because he was worried that Di Jiu would once again rip apart his flying boat and escape. Actually, it was meaningless to kill Di Jiu now. He really had not expected that this mere Primordial Dao nobody would have three Five-Element Flags.

He could rip apart his flying boat once but not twice.

Upon seeing that Ji Hongsen did not make a move, Di Jiu also put away his Heavenly Aqua Saber. He had incorporated a White Cloud Bound Flag in the flying boat’s Defense Array and knew very well that after he sent away Tang Xitan, Ji Hongsen would once again raise the flying boat’s Defense Array by one level. It used to be a level-five Divine Array, but it was now a level-six Divine Array.

As long as it did not become a level-seven Divine Array, Di Jiu was unafraid of the restriction on this flying boat.

“Daoist Di, if I’m right, you took out a few Five-Element Flags just now, didn’t you? May I ask if you’re selling them? I can offer you a price you desire.” Di Jiu had not expected that even though Ji Hongsen had not looked for him, the Demon Clan’s Fan Yuan would take the initiative to do so instead.

“I’m not selling them.” Di Jiu did not say anything else.

When Fan Yuan heard that, he chuckled and did not continue asking.

The Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors on the flying boat subconsciously distanced themselves from Di Jiu. Who didn’t know what Ji Hongsen was like? If Di Jiu did that and Ji Hongsen still showed mercy, Ji Hongsen would not exude such deterrence.

Ji Hongsen had yet to make a move because he definitely wanted to make a move on Di Jiu later. Moreover, Di Jiu had the Five-Element Flags, which was also a connate treasure. If they had known Di Jiu had them, the late-stage Primordial Chaos experts here would have made a move.

When Di Jiu saw nobody looking for him, he sat down and started closing his eyes to meditate. The inner cabin of the flying boat was very big, but nobody entered it. Even Ji Hongsen did not invite everyone to the inner cabin and seemed to know that they would not go either.

Half a month later, the flying boat stopped and the restriction opened.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force scanned the huge Void Castle ahead of the flying boat. There were three words on the Void Castle: Netherworld Corner Castle. This Void Castle was very prosperous. Di Jiu scanned it slightly with his Spiritual Force and sensed that there were at least hundreds of thousands of cultivators there.

Ji Hongsen laughed. “Everyone, we’ve arrived. It’s here. The thing we want to find is underneath this castle. We’ll sneak into the castle and...”

“No need to go to this trouble. Flattening the castle would be simpler,” Wu Luo said faintly.

Ji Hongsen smiled slightly. “Daoist Wu is right.”

“In that case, I’ll exert some strength for everyone and flatten this castle. When I’m done, everyone shall follow me...” Wu Luo laughed and stepped out of the restriction.

Di Jiu said sarcastically, “Trash like you are like a bunch of turtles[1], right? Actually, that’s not right. I’m insulting turtles by saying this.”

At that moment, Di Jiu truly experienced what Tang Xitan had said. Wu Luo was ruthless? Only his life was probably valuable in this universe, while other lives were nothing. They had come here to enter the castle and look for the treasure. There were at least hundreds of thousands of cultivators in the Netherworld Corner Castle, yet he wanted to wipe them out. At the same time, Di Jiu also understood what Ji Hongsen had said. After Wu Luo came out, this trash would wipe out everyone in the castle. They were both just as bad.

“I wanted to kill you later but I didn’t expect you to be so impatient.” Wu Luo turned around, took out a pitch-black staff, and prepared to charge toward Di Jiu.

“Daoist Wu, do your thing. A mere Primordial Dao nobody can’t meddle with Brother Wu. I’ll help you deal with him.” Nobody had expected Guang Mingzi, who was irrelevant, to step out to deal with Di Jiu.

While Guang Mingzi stepped forward, Wu Luo shot a glance at Ji Hongsen and chuckled before rushing out of the flying boat’s restriction toward the Netherworld Corner Castle. At the same time, Ji Hongsen once again locked the restriction on the flying boat. The Demon Clan’s Fan Yuan stood beside Guang Mingzi and blocked Di Jiu.

Since he had come here, Di Jiu naturally would not stay on the flying boat. He extended his figure and once again lifted his hand to grab the flying boat’s restriction.

His speed did not seem quick, but Guang Mingzi’s domain could not lock him.

Upon seeing Di Jiu grab his flying boat’s restriction for the second time, a hint of a sneer appeared at the corners of Ji Hongsen’s mouth. He did consider his flying boat’s restriction a piece of paper.

Crack! The flying boat’s restriction was ripped apart by Di Jiu for the second time, making Ji Hongsen freeze. Meanwhile, Di Jiu had rushed out of the flying boat. He suddenly felt somewhat uneasy that Di Jiu seemed to be so secretive.

After Di Jiu rushed out of the flying boat, he did not leave. Instead, he told Guang Mingzi, “Bark Face, come out! I’m waiting for trash like you here.”

Then, Di Jiu added with a clear voice, “Cultivators of the Netherworld Corner Castle, listen up. A piece of trash called Wu Luo is going to wipe out the entire castle now. Flee if you can.”

Di Jiu could only help by doing this and he was certain that even if he managed to stop Wu Luo, Ji Hongsen and the others would massacre the Netherworld Corner Castle.
