“You wish to take me away from the Small Central’s square?” Di Jiu, who stood at the edge of the Small Central’s square, stopped.
Cheng Ji stared at him andughed ominously. “You have to go. You already lost control over your own life when you took the Small World from my son, Biqun, and killed my daughter, Bijun. Stop dying this. Even if you drag this on for an entire day, Huan Mingzi will not show up.”
If Di Jiu dared refuse to go, he would strike immediately. Striking on the Small World’s square would hurt his reputation and even affect the Enduring Immortal Sect. However, everything was secondarypared to the Small World of the Cheng Family. Moreover, he suspected that the ball of me in the Sky Screen had probably been taken away by Di Jiu.
Di Jiu looked at Cheng Ji with a sigh and said, “You want to provoke me and yet not let people know that you are immoral? Why not just take me to your temporary encampment? Then you would be able to do all your immoral stuff while maintaining your good name.”
Cheng Ji was filled with killing intent. As long as Di Jiu didn’t try to escape, he would not strike. Di Jiu would be dead soon, so he didn’t bother to be calctive with him. “Very well. Then let’s go to my cave abode.”
The Enduring Immortal Sect had always had an encampment on the Small World’s square. From Di Jiu’s point of view, he had been the one to suggest going to the Enduring Immortal Sect’s encampment with Cheng Ji. From Cheng Ji’s point of view, he forcibly escorted Di Jiu to the Enduring Immortal Sect’s encampment.
Even though the Enduring Immortal Sect was a nine-star sect, it wasn’t a nine-star sect from the Small Central World, so its encampment wasn’t big and there weren’t many disciples there.
When Cheng Ji brought Di Jiu to his cave abode in the Enduring Immortal Sect, he didn’t feel euphoric over the prospect of killing Di Jiu and taking him back to the Small World. Instead, he felt bewildered.
Why had Di Jiu darede to his cave abode in the Enduring Immortal Sect?
“This must be your territory. The others won’t see you kill me here. Show me what you’ve got.” Di Jiu didn’t n on killing Cheng Ji first.
Meanwhile, Cheng Ji had started to look unsettled. Di Jiu didn’t look like an idiot to him. Why had he dared suggesting to the Enduring Immortal Sect’s encampment with him and entered his cave abode so brazenly?
“Did you take the Cheng Family’s Small World?” Although Cheng Ji had originally wanted to take down Di Jiu immediately, he now restrained his killing intent.
No matter what happened, now that Di Jiu was there, everything was under his control. However, he wanted to find out why Di Jiu was being so bold.
Di Jiu walked to the master seat and sat down before he said nonchntly, “The Cheng Family’s Small World? Don’t you feel ashamed? I did indeed pick up a Small World on the Fairy, but since when did it belong to the Cheng Family?”
“On the Fairy? Not on the Big Dipper?” Cheng Ji asked subconsciously. His son Cheng Biqun had gone to the Big Dipper. When had the Fairye into y?
Di Jiu’s heart twitched. He had actually seen a Big Dipper Pce on the Fairy, but he was toozy to exin such a thing to Cheng Ji.
Cheng Ji murmured to himself before he stared at Di Jiu and said, “Where does your confidencee from? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you?”
“Ha ha!”ughed Di Jiu. “You are only a sixth-stage True Form cultivator. You are not qualified to kill me. If you are done spouting nonsense, then I shall leave. If you are not, please learn something from Shu Han’s mistake.”
Di Jiu was sure that once he disyed his strength, the Genesis Sect would be able to guess that he had killed Shu Han. However, since he and the Genesis Sect were surely going to be enemies, there was no harm in letting them know.
“Shu Han was killed by you?” A chill went through Cheng Ji’s heart. Shu Han was no weaker than him, yet Di Jiu had been able to kill him?
Cheng Ji didn’t wait for Di Jiu to answer. He knew that Di Jiu was probably messing with him. How long had Di Jiu practiced? Besides, he had only gone to the Sky Screen a few years ago. No matter how fast his cultivation speed was, he shouldn’t have been able to kill Shu Han. As he thought of this, he suddenly raised his hands and started grabbing in Di Jiu’s direction.
This space instantly turned into Cheng Ji’s private territory. Regardless of who supported Di Jiu, Cheng Ji had decided to restrain him and get his Small World before he thought of the next step.
Cheng Ji realized that Di Jiu hadn’t been restrained in the least. Instead, he immediately drew out his long saber and swung it around. Cheng Ji was so astounded that he almost screamed.
Although he wasn’t in the Domain Realm, if he used his Quintessential Essence domain, no one below the True Form would be able to escape. Di Jiu had escaped from his domainpletely unaffected. Plus, that saber swing...
Once Di Jiu’s saber was swung out, it instantly gathered a tumultuous saber aura. The killing intent that dominated this saber aura was filled with a deadly aura that gushed right into his face.
How could Cheng Ji still dare treat Di Jiu like a nobody? The Snow ze Sword swirled up a sea of snowkes and swept towards Di Jiu like a blizzard.
Boom!
The saber re and the snowke sword intent of the Snow ze Sword shed. The saber intent of the Split-Wave Saber was torn uppletely, while the boundless snowkes drifted mournfully under the influence of the saber intent of the Split-Wave Saber.
Crack! Even though Cheng Ji’s cave abode used a Dharma Array as a barrier, it was still sted into pieces. If the Enduring Immortal Sect’s Dharma Array hadn’t been outside the cave abode, Cheng Ji’s battle with Di Jiu would have been exposed to public scrutiny by now.
Cheng Ji sensed that the saber intent sted open by the snowkes of his Snow ze Sword was still being transformed into shes of micro saber re. Every sh of saber re had a frighteningly ripping aura.
Cheng Ji could only tell that his True Form Domain was like a torn rag. His domain couldn’t block off a single strike from the ripping saber intenting from Di Jiu.
Cheng Ji frantically drew a circr shield. However, before he could fully open the shield, a fragment of saber re tore up his defenses and sted against his chest.
A bloody mist suddenly spurted from his chest. Cheng Ji felt like his internal organs were going to disintegrate into nothingness amid this bloody mist.
Fortunately, his circr shield finally blocked Di Jiu’s saber move. His whole body backed down to the smashed-up cave abode’s entrance.
Cheng Ji didn’t dare continue to fight back. Instead, he looked in shock at theposed Di Jiu, who was standing not far away. Di Jiu was actually more powerful than him, and not just by a small margin. He ranked 17th amongst the 36 True Form Kings and was actually a sixth-stage True Form cultivator.
“I haven’t even tried my best, yet you already can’t take this. Looks like your Enduring Immortal Sect will be destroyed today.” Di Jiu flicked the Heavenly Aqua Saber in his hands as he spoke in an unhurried manner.
The truth was that he didn’t n on destroying the Enduring Immortal Sect or killing Cheng Ji. His main enemies were the sect masters of the fiverge sects. There were still four left after he had killed one. He didn’t harbor so much hatred for the Enduring Immortal Sect. If he killed the sect master of a nine-star sect from the Commonality now, he would end up being surrounded by enemies. Hence, this wouldn’t be a wise thing to do.
Of course, if Cheng Ji dared team up with another elder to force him into a corner and kill him, no one would me him for wiping them all out. His Spiritual Force had already picked up that there was another True Form expert around, most likely one from the Enduring Immortal Sect. At the moment, this True Form expert’s Spiritual Force, which was also locked on him, seemed just as stunned by his powerfulness.
Cheng Ji, who was staring blindly at Di Jiu, gasped.
He no longer doubted what Di Jiu had said earlier. He must have killed Shu Han. If what Di Jiu had just said was really true, and his previous saber move had not used his full-blown strength, then Di Jiu could really kill him that day. Of course, this was provided that he didn’t escape or ask Elder Ma for help.
He was a sect master of a nine-star sect after all. How would he face the world in the future if he ran away from Di Jiu’s saber moves? The Enduring Immortal Sect would not be able to remain a nine-star sect on the Commonality either. It would fall from grace and hit rock bottom.
As a sect master of a nine-star sect, Cheng Ji was naturally no idiot. Di Jiu didn’t ride on his winning edge to continue his pursuit of killing him. He knew that this was most likely because Di Jiu was going to fight with the Genesis Sect and didn’t n on bing enemies with the Enduring Immortal Sect as well. However, if he dared make a move again, then he would not hold back.
“Young Master Red Embellishment, I was in the wrong about this matter. The Small World was indeed left behind on the Big Dipper by my son, Cheng Biqun. You were right, Brother Di. This Small World was originally picked up by us. However, when we lost it, it should have stopped being considered the Cheng Family’s property. I was too rash and greedy. I apologize to you. If you’d be willing to bury the hatchet, the Enduring Immortal Sect would definitely make this up to you.” Cheng Ji immediately humbled himself.
How young was Di Jiu? If he could beat him, Cheng Ji was sure that Di Jiu would be able to advance to the Domain Realm in the future. If he chose to besiege Di Jiu now and failed to kill him, it would mean the end of the Enduring Immortal Sect. As a sect master of a nine-star sect, he still had some level of tolerance and ability to weigh the pros and cons.
When he saw that Cheng Ji had epted his ce and stopped striking, Di Jiu nodded. “In that case, I shall forgive you this once. As far aspensation is concerned, I only need one thing. If you can bring this thing to me, I will forget that you went to the Pr Night Continent and provoked Senior Xi.”
Cheng Ji felt his heart tremble. He suddenly recalled that Di Jiu had legitimate reasons to continue this fight. If Di Jiu had dared kill Shu Han, he definitely wouldn’t be afraid to kill him. Upon thinking of this, Cheng Ji cupped his fists and said, “Please speak your mind, Brother Di. As long as I can do this, it will not be a problem.”
“Good,” said Di Jiu, “I need a ne Split Talisman. If you can get me one, I will let bygones be bygones. I will forget that you attacked me and attempted to kill Senior Xian Ze. However, if you can’t find one, don’t me me if I show no mercy in the future. Remember—you have to give me the ne Split Talisman within three years.”
If Cheng Ji could get a ne Split Talisman, would he still need to spend a few years hurrying on his journey? He really didn’t want to be enemies with a psychopath like Di Jiu. Thus, he could only grit his teeth and say, “I will definitely think of a way to obtain a ne Split Talisman within three years.”
“Very good. Send the ne Split Talisman to the Gxy Sect when you get it.” Upon finishing his sentence, Di Jiu turned around and walked away.
Did a Gxy Sect exist on the Small Central? Cheng Ji was still trying to think where the Gxy Sect was, when Cheng Bijun rushed in and asked, “Father, what is this?”
She suddenly noticed that her father’s cave abode had been turned to pulp.
“We will talk about thister. What is the matter with you?” Cheng Ji wanted to set off as soon as possible to look for the ne Split Talisman.
Cheng Bijun said hurriedly, “The Young Master Red Embellishment is no simple man. I heard that he killed Yue Henghe, the second person on the Genesis Sect Tripod Roll, with a single punch. He also inflicted serious injuries on Ran Bushang, who ranked 37th on the Mirage Sword Sect Life Roll.”
Upon hearing his daughter’s words, Cheng Ji confirmed his theory. The Young Master Red Embellishment was moving against the big sects. It was no wonder that he hadn’t continued to attack him.
