Chapter 148: 148

Di Jiu did not have the capability to continue attacking . The only thing he could do was take out his two shields again with great effort .





Escape! He had to escape! This was the only thought in Di Jiu’s mind .

When Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force swept out, he quickly discovered in pleasant surprise that Little Tree had cleverly opened the confinement array at the cave entrance in secret . The intelligence of the Tiny Tree Root had obviously increased .

Boom! Boom! Boom! Several attacks landed on Di Jiu’s shield again . As the shield started cracking, the spear of the eighth-stage Golden Core cultivator pierced through the shield again and stabbed at Di Jiu’s back .

Di Jiu did not retaliate this time . He just activated the Spiritual Force escape technique and instantly landed on the opposite side of the lake . Then, he used one hand to throw Little Tree in his spirit herb garden and the other hand to grab hold of Qin Yin before activating the escape technique once more .

The two escape techniques were activated within a breath’s time . By the time the people in the cave reacted, Di Jiu had already disappeared from the cave entrance .

Despite his serious injuries and tiredness, he persisted in madly activating the escape technique . The previous times he had used this escape technique, he had used his Spiritual Force to sense the fluctuations of the space and prevent himself from being swept into a space whirlpool . Now that he was fleeing, he did not care about this anymore . He just escaped hurriedly by relying on his luck .

Ever since he had attained the second-stage Golden Core Realm, he could flee at least two kilometers away each time he cast the Spiritual Force escape technique .

The remaining dozens of people did not chase after Di Jiu . Considering Di Jiu’s strength, they would only be committing suicide if they did not attack Di Jiu from all sides before chasing after him . There would be no point in detaining Di Jiu, as it would not benefit them or anyone else .

Even the eighth-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivator looked at the cave entrance gravely as Di Jiu disappeared from his Spiritual Force range in a few seconds .

Although he’d had the opportunity to chase Di Jiu when Di Jiu had first started to escape, he had not dared to do so . He believed that Di Jiu would take him down along with him if he were to die . That formidable escape technique had shocked him .

The blue lake had already been dyed a light red color . More than 100 corpses lay randomly around, indicating that a scary battle had once occurred there .





Zhong Xun’s face was pale . He currently felt extremely regretful . Contrary to his expectations, Di Jiu had not died . He had actually managed to escape .

Why had he been so foolish? If Di Jiu could have been killed so easily, the Qi Family would have already succeeded .

If he could turn back time, he would rather hide in a corner and not move or flee right away . He would definitely not attack Di Jiu . However, it was too late for regrets now . He had to break through to the Essence Soul Realm as soon as possible and…

Zhong Xun laughed self-derisively . So what if he did break through to the Essence Soul Realm? It was only a matter of time before Di Jiu beat an Essence Soul Realm cultivator considering his current combat strength . Plus, Di Jiu had extracted a top-notch spirit meridian .

The cultivators who had come back to their senses started to seize the storage bags on the ground . Some of them, who seized some storage bags successfully, rushed out of the cave abode and disappeared without hesitation .

Not many people were willing to stay there and cultivate, despite the presence of a lake that contained a Spirit Origin .

Di Jiu’s vision flickered . He should have escaped the Spiritual Force range of that eighth-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivator . He really wanted to call Little Tree out . Qin Yin was not a bad person, but he did not wish to put his life in her hands . Doing so and saving Qin Yin were two different matters .

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force moved, yet before he could call Little Tree out, he fell from the sky with a loud sound . His Spiritual Force was all used-up . He and Qin Yin landed on the ground in a heap .

Qin Yin, who leaped up immediately, discovered that Di Jiu had completely lost his consciousness .

Her entire body was covered in blood after being carried by Di Jiu and escaping for such a long distance . Di Jiu looked even worse . He had been dyed completely blood-red, and there were at least seven injuries on his back . Qin Yin suspected that several of those injuries were deep enough to damage his dantian .





Other than his back, Di Jiu’s waist was also full of injuries . His calf was broken, and so were several bones in his hand . Even his neck had a very deep, horrifying injury .

Although Qin Yin went out frequently for test trials and witnessed battles among cultivators just as frequently, this was the first time she saw such severe injuries on a cultivator .

Qin Yin was not ungrateful . Even though she looked down upon fellas like Di Jiu who bullied Itinerant Cultivators, Di Jiu had saved her twice .

The first time, she had been restrained by a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, so she would have died if it had not been for Di Jiu . The second time, Di Jiu had taken her along even though he had been severely injured and ready to leave . Qin Yin would have died in a similarly horrible manner if he had not taken her with him .

Her master had once told her that she would not face such dangers when she attained the Golden Core Realm . No one would be able to recognize her constitution, so a significantly smaller number of cultivators would target her . She would just be prettier than the average girl . Nothing else .


Therefore, she felt even more grateful for Di Jiu for taking her into that blue cave . She was already an eighth-stage Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator, so it would not be too difficult for her to reach the first-stage Golden Core Realm in the Sky Screen .

Qin Yin was someone who showed gratitude with grace . She knew that it was expected of her to save Di Jiu, as Di Jiu had saved her twice and allowed her to attain the eighth-stage Foundation Establishment Realm in a few days . Thus, she should at least wait for Di Jiu to wake up before leaving .

As she thought of this, Qin Yin hesitated no more . She grabbed Di Jiu and left the place .

Half a day later, she finally found a hiding spot .

It was a cave abode hidden between two cliffs . Someone had certainly cultivated there before . Even though time had passed, the Spirit Qi density within this cave was still quite good .

Qin Yin carried Di Jiu into the cave . She wanted to leave, but she would not feel at ease while Di Jiu was still unconscious .





Fortunately, Di Jiu regained consciousness after a short period of time . When his Spiritual Force swept out, he immediately understood where he was and who was with him .

He must have lost consciousness before he could call Little Tree out, so Qin Yin had brought him to this place .

Di Jiu knew that his forte was healing . When his meridians had been shattered in the past, they had healed naturally . Although his current injuries seemed to be worse, Di Jiu knew very well that they were lighter than his injuries when he had first arrived in the Polar Night Continent . He would heal completely in time .

“You are awake!” Qin Yin shouted in pleasant surprise when she noticed that Di Jiu had regained consciousness .

She did not want to stay with him, so now that he was awake, she could finally leave .

“Thank you . ” Di Jiu was still unable to stand up, so he cupped his fists gratefully .

Qin Yin shook her head . “There’s no need to thank me . You took me out after all . You’ve saved me twice . If it weren’t for you, I would have died long ago . I didn’t help you much, all I did was find this place . ”

Di Jiu smiled, but did not explain . The reason he felt so grateful was not because Qin Yin had saved him, but because she was a good person .

A slightly more wicked cultivator would have killed him while he had been unconscious and seized his possessions .

Nearly 200 people had attacked him for his possessions earlier after all .

He actually felt grateful that Qin Yin had not attacked him . This showed that he had judged her character correctly . This woman had been worth his two attempts to save her .

“Since you’re okay now, I will be leaving . ” Qin Yin stood up . The way she handled things was incompatible with Di Jiu’s way of doing things .

“Hold on a minute . I want to give you something!” Di Jiu called out .

Qin Yin stopped in her tracks . She looked at Di Jiu calmly and said, “Thank you, but I should be able to obtain the cultivating resources I need within the Sky Screen . ”

Qin Yin bowed before Di Jiu before she added, “Although I don’t know whether what you said about liking me was true, I really have no intention of becoming your cultivation partner, nor do I have any feelings for you . Hence, I cannot accept anything from you . I am leaving . Take care of yourself . ”

The reason she told Di Jiu to take care of himself was because he had offended too many people .

Di Jiu was stunned for a moment . Although Qin Yin was beautiful, he actually had no feelings for her . He just felt grateful to her for not seizing his possessions, so he had intended to give her a portion of the blue spirit meridian and a Soul Origin Fruit .

He had not expected that she would give up on this kind of treasure . He was certain that Qin Yin knew what he had been about to give her, as everyone knew what he had obtained in that cave .

When he realized that Qin Yin was about to turn and leave, Di Jiu said, “In that case, I will give you this mask that can conceal your aura . ”

“Thanks a lot . ” Qin Yin did not reject him this time . She actually accepted Di Jiu’s mask .

Although it was easy for people to identify her constitution before she attained the Golden Core Realm, this mask would keep her safer .

After Qin Yin left the cave abode quickly, Di Jiu called out Little Tree and gave it a pile of array flags . “Set up a Defense Array at the cave entrance . I need to heal my wounds quickly . ”

“That dung beetle has not come back, Big Brother,” said Little Tree worriedly as it grabbed hold of the array flags .

Di Jiu waved his hand indifferently . “I can sense that it’s alright . I doubt that anyone would find it as long as it did not go looking for trouble . ”
