Ninth In the World

Mi Ji was nervous in the City Lord Manor. He was the only one who had come out unscathed out of the people who had gone to find Di Jiu last time at the Peace Hotel. He felt uneasy that Di Jiu hadn’t come to find him.

When he finally heard about Di Jiu’s arrival in the City Lord Manor that day, he rushed out of the City Lord Manor immediately.

“Brother Di, I’ve waited so long for you,” Mi Ji said in a low voice.

Di Jiu had cast a nomological imprint on Mi Ji last time, and the reason he had spared Mi Ji was because of his quick reflexes. He still did his part within a certain range.

“City Lord Mi, call me by my name in the future. Although you did some unpleasant things, this is already in the past. I will need a lot of help from City Lord Mi in the future,” Di Jiu said with a smile.

He needed to treat Mi Ji with enough respect. Otherwise, he might as well kill him.

“Alright. Thank you, Daoist Di.” As expected, Mi Ji was not hypocritical. Although he had been spared by Di Jiu once, he was a City Lord after all. His cultivation level was not high, but he had not become the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City Lord due to luck. He was not a puppet. Even though he could not deal with some top-notch experts, they still had to show him a bit of respect in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.

Di Jiu nodded. “City Lord Mi, could you bring me to the Teleportation Array of the Square Immortal Continent? I still want to know why it was spoiled.”

Mi Ji sighed silently upon hearing that. He knew that this matter was not over yet. Di Jiu wanted to investigate the Teleportation Array of the Square Immortal Continent. Thus, he supposed that things were going to get bigger.

Mi Ji, who was well aware of his position, said without any hesitation, “Daoist Di Jiu, please follow me.”

The Teleportation Array of the Four Major Immortal Continents had been set up in the Teleportation Hall behind the City Lord Manor, where there was a group of Teleportation Arrays.

The Square Immortal Continent was not the only one included. The Teleportation Arrays of the other Immortal Continents had also been set up there.

The Teleportation Hall was guarded by Defense Arrays as usual. Ordinary people could not use this Teleportation Array to the different Major Immortal Continents. They could only teleport from other places or fly there. This Teleportation Array had only been made for a minority.

Once Di Jiu entered the Teleportation Hall, his face sank.

The other three Major Immortal Continents’ Teleportation Arrays were guarded and a Defense Array had been set up. This array was also maintained excellently.

It was hard to even read anything clearly besides the words ‘Square Immortal Continent Teleportation Array’ at the Teleportation Array of the Square Immortal Continent.

“What’s wrong?” Di Jiu asked in a cold tone.

Mi Ji cupped his fists and said without concealing anything, “Daoist Di, this is related to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. When the Square Immortal Continent entered a sunset state back then, a big group of experts from the Square Immortal Continent teleported over from this place…”

Di Jiu asked doubtfully, “City Lord Mi, you are saying that when the Square Immortal Continent entered the sunset state, the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City knew about it?”

Mi Ji nodded. “Yes, the experts of the Square Immortal Continent were all very selfish. They felt that the Square Immortal Continent had entered a sunset state, so once they arrived in the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City, they left hastily. This Teleportation Array was spoiled because an Immortal Emperor tore down the main components of the materials used for the Teleportation Array and gave them to Immortal Emperor Ye Xi…”

Ye Xi was not someone one could just provoke. He was the strongest expert of the Four Major Immortal Continents. Therefore, if he had been easily provoked, he would not have climbed up to this position. Mi Ji also knew that Di Jiu was not someone to lose out either. The Teleportation Array of the Square Immortal Continent had obviously come from the Square Immortal Continent.

Ye Xi had taken away the segmented soil of the Square Immortal Continent’s Teleportation Array. It would be strange if Di Jiu did not get it back. Thus, there would certainly be a huge battle when Di Jiu found Ye Xi.

Mi Ji suspected that even if Di Jiu did not go to find Ye Xi, Ye Xi would come here sooner or later to find Di Jiu. The others may not know that the owner behind the Tripod-Existing Elixir Dispensary was Ye Xi, but Mi Ji knew this very well. Di Jiu had killed the owner of the Tripod-Existing Elixir Dispensary, Fu Jue. Would Ye Xi let this matter go? Mi Ji did not believe that.

“Is this about the segmented soil?” Di Jiu asked coldly.

As a level-nine Immortal Array Emperor, Di Jiu naturally knew very well that the only material the Teleportation Array needed was the segmented soil. The segmented soil was wrapped by the array core of the Teleportation Array. Thus, even if the Teleportation Array was torn down, the segmented soil could still be used.

This soil was priceless and extremely scarce.

“Yes, the segmented soil was torn down by the Square Immortal Continent’s Immortal Emperor and given to Ye Xi,” Mi Ji answered honestly.

“Which Immortal Emperor tore down the segmented soil?” Di Jiu’s voice calmed down. He had to kill these bastards and the person who had swept away what had ensured that the light from providence would shine in the Immortal World.

“It was the Sect Master of the Heaven Saber Sect, Yan Guchen. He is somewhat like you, Daoist Di. He always carries a long saber,” Mi Ji said with a sigh. The Heaven Saber Sect’s Sect Master, Yan Guchen, had left a deep impression on him. Thus, he was definitely a top-notch expert.

Di Jiu was stunned. He had believed that it had most likely been the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect’s Immortal Emperor, Yi Mang, because the priceless treasure called the Square Immortal Cauldron, which ensured the light from providence shone on the Square Immortal Continent, had also most likely been taken away by Immortal Emperor Yi Mang.

Only a selfish person like him would tear down the materials of the Teleportation Array of the Square Immortal Continent and give them to someone else.

Even if it was not Immortal Emperor Yi Mang, Di Jiu would not be surprised by any Immortal Emperor from the Square Immortal Continent. Di Jiu was shocked to hear that the Sect Master of the Heaven Saber Sect had torn down this Teleportation Array and given the segmented soil to Ye Xi.

Di Jiu had always had a good vibe about the Heaven Saber Sect. His Colossal Kun Art Schema had come from the Heaven Saber Sect. After the Heaven Saber Sect in the Cultivation World had been wiped out, the ruins had been filled with a kind of noble, righteous saber intent. Only those righteous sects had the righteous Qi of Heaven and Earth. For this alone, they were worth Di Jiu’s respect.

Although he still had the Heaven Saber of the Heaven Saber Sect in his ring now, he had not used the Heaven Saber yet. He wanted to find a chance to return this Heaven Saber to the Heaven Saber Sect.

Now that he heard that Yan Guchen, the Sect Master of the Heaven Saber Sect, had torn down the segmented soil and given it to Ye Xi, he found this unacceptable.

Di Jiu sighed. He knew that no matter how righteous a sect was, there was bound to be someone like this.

“Do you know where Yan Guchen went?” Di Jiu still wanted to ask questions about Yan Guchen. Could the cultivators of the Square Immortal Continent perhaps only wait for death in the Immortal World that had entered the sunset state after tearing down the Teleportation Array?

Not every cultivator could be like him and leave the Square Immortal Continent from the Thunderous Floating Island.

Mi Ji shook his head. “After Yan Guchen tore down the Teleportation Array and gave the segmented soil away, he left this void. Nobody knows where he went.” He stopped for a while before adding, “Maybe Ye Xi knows.”

“During the sunset state of the Square Immortal Continent, did Yan Hui from the Virtuous Nirvana Sect not know?” Di Jiu thought of the Dao nun who had taken away Mo Yuxuan. He believed that Yan Hui was formidable. Technically, while this Dao nun was present, Immortal Emperor Yi Mang did not have any right to take away the Square Immortal Cauldron.

“Yan Hui went to the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent once back then and obtained a treasure. She was then surrounded by several Immortal Emperors and she killed all of them in the end. She left the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent without being in any true danger. She seldom made friends and talked to people, so she probably didn’t know about the sunset state of the Square Immortal Continent,” Mi Ji explained.

Di Jiu then understood why, when Yan Hui had arrived in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, the people there had treated her with the utmost respect and had not even dared to make a move on her. This Dao nun was actually an expected existence.

“I got it. I’m going to set up the Defense Array of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City now. You can help me at the time.” Di Jiu stopped asking questions. He was going to find Ye Xi next month, so he would ask him directly then.

“Of course. I still have many materials to set up the array.” Mi Ji took out a ring without delay.

Di Jiu gestured with his hands. “I have plenty of materials. You just need to help me.”

Di Jiu had collected many experts’ rings that indeed contained a lot of the materials used to set up the array. He would only use a little less than half of the materials even if he had to set up 10 Defense Arrays in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, let alone a single one.

The Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s Defense Array was successfully set up. Nobody dared to say anything to Di Jiu in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City now.

With the help of Zhong Ao, Mi Ji, Chen Zishun and Meng Qianqian, Di Jiu completed the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s entire Immortal Defense Array in just four days.

This Immortal Defense Array included a top-notch level-nine Defense Immortal Array, a top-notch level-nine Confinement Killing Immortal Array, a Spirit-Gathering Immortal Array, and a Strangulation Immortal Array.

A total of four array flags were used to control the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s Defense Array, and Di Jiu had control over the main array flag. The three supporting array flags were handed to Chen Zishun, Mi Ji, and Meng Qianqian.
