Ninth In the World

He had heard of Lan Ru, who was very kind. Even if someone offended her, she rarely killed them and would at most tell them off. In the Dao World, there were too few cultivators with the strength, status, and gentle, kind personality of someone like Lan Ru.

Lan Ru wanted Di Jiu to go to the Cloud Distant Palace mainly because they had met before and he had a good aptitude.

Now that Lan Ru was gone, there had to be no problem with killing Di Jiu. In other words, Lan Ru would not kill Ni Xiren even if she found out that he had killed Di Jiu eventually.

Upon suppressing their inner ecstasy, Ni Xiren and Leaping Dao Door Divine City Lord Jiao Yueheng sent Lan Ru and the other two people away from the Teleportation Array.

After Lan Ru left, Jiao Yueheng looked at Di Jiu with a smile and faintly told him, “Daoist Di, you have the biggest guts among all the cultivators I have met. If I’ve guessed correctly, you’re not very close with the Cloud Distant Palace’s Fairy Lan Ru.”

Di Jiu smiled slightly and replied in a lighter tone, “My guts have always been big. As for Senior Sister Lan Ru, I’ve only met her once. She probably fancies me and has not forgotten about me.”

Ni Xiren snorted. “Even if Fairy Lan Ru comes across a dog, she will still have a good opinion.”

“Ni Xiren, we are meeting for the second time. When I killed your son Ni Luan, I heard that you chased after me for some time.” When Di Jiu saw Ni Xiren, his tone turned cold.

Ni Xiren’s heart thumped. Di Jiu did not seem to be afraid. Because of the fear in his heart, he did not do anything to Di Jiu immediately. Instead, he wondered why Di Jiu was not afraid of him. Who did Di Jiu rely on?

He had never thought that Di Jiu could crush him, as that was absolutely impossible. How long had it been since Di Jiu had escaped from the Wormhole? Even if he was given way more time, it would not be easy to cultivate to his extent.

Jiao Yueheng also found this somewhat strange. What did Di Jiu mean? Was he not afraid of anybody?

While both Jiao Yueheng and Ni Xiren were feeling nervous, Di Jiu’s gaze suddenly fell on Jiao Yueheng. “If my guess is correct, you should be Leaping Dao Door Divine City Lord Jiao Yueheng.”

Upon seeing that Di Jiu had no respect for him and was speaking so openly, Jiao Yueheng started to feel that Di Jiu would not be easy to deal with. He took a breath and, before he was sure about Di Jiu’s background, he decided he would remain silent. Jiao Yueheng was not the one with a feud with Di Jiu. That was Ni Xiren.

“That’s right, I’m Jiao Yueheng. Does Daoist Di have any guidance?” Jiao Yueheng replied in a tone that was neither overbearing nor humble. Even though he had decided not to have a conflict with Di Jiu, he was not very polite to him and he did not even cup his fists.

Di Jiu nodded. “I was trapped in the Wormhole back then and then got trapped in the Leaping Dao Door Divine City. If I didn’t have half a Dao meridian, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have gotten out of the Leaping Dao Door Divine City in this lifetime. Therefore, I came here today to do one thing…”

“How did you get here?” Ni Xiren finally remembered that he should be asking this. He was unaware that Di Jiu had come to the Wormhole. That was simply outrageous.

Because of his relationship with Lan Ru, he had no time to inquire about other people.

Di Jiu scanned Ni Xiren. “I’ll talk about your issue later.”

Jiao Yueheng smiled slightly. “May I know what issues you have, Daoist Di? Please guide me.”

He had thought it through. Di Jiu had only spent thousands of years ascending to the Dao World, so what kind of background could he have? There was no reason for him to be scared of Di Jiu.

“I am worried that my friends who will be coming here in the future will be blocked by the Leaping Dao Door Divine City, so I hope that you guys can let the cultivators who can come here also leave the place,” Di Jiu explained.

Jiao Yue stared blankly at Di Jiu. Was this guy an idiot? Then, he heaved a sigh of relief. He was sure that Di Jiu was really out of his mind. Otherwise, how could he utter such idiotic words? It was no wonder that Di Jiu had been unwilling to leave when Fairy Lan Ru had asked him to leave.

Ni Xiren came back to his senses and felt relieved at the same time. However, he did not speak. Just like Jiao Yueheng, he looked at a curly-haired man with a high nose bridge who had not spoken.

Even though he could pinch Di Jiu to death now, since Di Jiu wanted to die more dramatically, he didn’t need to make a move. Later, he could do Kuang Shi a favor and slowly torture Di Jiu.

The curly-haired man with the high nose bridge, who had fixed his gaze on Di Jiu, faintly said, “You want to change the rules of the Leaping Dao Door Divine City and the Wormhole?”

Di Jiu then understood that the real person who could make a decision in the Leaping Dao Door Divine City among these three people was not Jiao Yueheng, but this guy. He did not mind, so he said, “That’s right. I want to change the rules of the Leaping Dao Door Divine City.”

Shen Changshui and Heng Shuangqi lowered their heads and resigned themselves to their fate. They could sense that Di Jiu was out of his mind, which was causing a problem to his thinking process.

In any case, he would also face death if he stayed to guard the Wormhole entrance as he did now. Since he would face death either way, there was nothing to be afraid of.

The curly-haired man with the high nose bridge had always been discreet while speaking but he was angry. He chuckled and said, “My name is Kuang Shi, and I am a deacon of the Dao World Sect Union who is responsible for the Wormhole and the Leaping Dao Door Divine City. Since you want to change the rules of the Leaping Dao Door Divine City, I can only take you to the Dao World Sect Union and let you negotiate with the Union Master. Maybe he will agree…”

While saying that, Kuang Shi took a step forward and his valiant Dao Transformation domain aura completely sealed this space. Then, he opened his palm to grab Di Jiu’s neck, obviously wanting to pinch Di Jiu’s neck and lift him up.

Since he was taller than Di Jiu, he would lift him up like that indeed.

As soon as this kind of Dao Transformation domain appeared, Jiao Yueheng’s expression changed. He was also a perfected Dao Transformation cultivator and had previously thought that he was just a bit weaker than Kuang Shi, but not too much. Due to Kuang Shi’s actions, he now knew that Kuang Shi was far superior to him. If Kuang Shi wanted to kill him, he was afraid that it would not take more than one hour.

As for Shen Changshui and Heng Shuangqi, they could not breathe, let alone budge.

Di Jiu chuckled and did not move, extending his hands to pinch Kuang Shi’s neck as well.

When Di Jiu extended his hand, Shen Changshui and Heng Shuangqi relaxed. Kuang Shi’s constraint instantly vanished without a trace.

Shocked, they stared at Di Jiu, unable to understand what was going on.

Kuang Shi was more shocked than them, and his frantic domain seemed to have no effect on Di Jiu. Then, he was no longer shocked. He was horrified. He had realized that not only was his frantic domain useless to Di Jiu, but Di Jiu had also casually extended his hand and the entire space seemed to have vanished before he had been imprisoned in it.

This was…

Kuang Shi drew a gasp of cold air. He was afraid that even his father would not have such a terrifying spatial domain. Di Jiu, who was before him, was definitely a Primordial Chaos or Dao Integration expert.

Crack! Kuang Shi’s neck had been pinched by Di Jiu, who had not used his hands but his Divine Essence handprint.

Kuang Shi was then pinched by the neck by Di Jiu’s handprint and lifted into the air. Di Jiu’s bland voice said, “Even if you want to invite me to the Dao World Sect Union, your union does not qualify yet. However, I can give you a chance to call the Union Master over. I’ll wait here. By the way, I want to change the rules here and the Dao World Sect Union has to agree no matter what.”

Di Jiu subconsciously touched his nose. He had unexpectedly learned Jiao Da’s bad habits.

Jiao Yueheng and Ni Xiren were completely petrified. Instantly, Ni Xiren understood why Di Jiu was so confident. He depended on no one but himself.

His scalp shivered, and cold sweat broke out on his back. Ni Xiren knew that he was completely done for. He hated himself for being so stupid and idiotic. If Di Jiu had been able to walk away from a Primordial Dao expert, how could he retreat after so many years?
