Chapter 440: 440
Fang Feilou shuddered, finally comprehending how fortunate he was to have survived under the hands of Di Jiu . He had just witnessed Di Jiu stamping on an Immortal Emperor to death after all .
“Yan Hui, join me inside for a chat . ” Yan Hui took no heed of the various confinement arrays of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City as she walked into the city directly .
Left with no choice, Mo Yuxuan informed Di Jiu, “Senior Brother Di, I will speak with Ancestral Master for a while and will come find you later . ”
Di Jiu nodded his head and instructed her, “Don’t worry about me . I might stay in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City for a while . Come to me if you don’t wish to go . Remember this, though: No one can force you . ”
Yan Hui grunted and looked at Di Jiu indifferently . “I am leaving this place today . Go ahead if you wish to commit suicide . ”
Upon saying that, Yan Hui pulled Mo Yuxuan along and entered the immortal city .
Di Jiu did not reply because he knew that Yan Hui meant no harm by that . The underlying meaning of her words was that he would be committing suicide if he chose to continue staying in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City . Perhaps she thought that it was because of her presence that he was currently safe and that those Immortal Emperors would dare not do anything to him . She most likely did not attribute this to his prowess .
Di Jiu glanced at Mi Ji and company before telling Zhong Ao, who was standing beside him, “Old Zhong, let us enter the city as well . ”
Little Tree hastily followed Di Jiu while dragging Chi Yuanqing and Chi Xun-er’s unconscious bodies behind . “Big Brother, are we headed to the Starry Sky Tea House?”
Di Jiu replied nonchalantly, “We can’t go back to the Starry Sky Tea House for it is currently occupied by a ruthless man . I wouldn’t dare do anything to him, so we can only go somewhere else . ”
No one moved a muscle as they watched Di Jiu enter the city . The image of Di Jiu stepping on Gou Yue to death after the latter had been grabbed by Yan Hui was still fresh in their minds . No one would do anything to Di Jiu so long as Yan Hui remained in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City .
Jie Guangmao, the Deputy City Lord of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, sneered when he heard what Di Jiu said . He was the one who had seized Di Jiu’s Starry Sky Tea House . It was foolhardy of Di Jiu to dare to enter the city when he was aware that Jie Guangmao had seized the tea house .
Yan Hui would evidently not stay in the city forever . Furthermore, she did not seem to like Di Jiu that much . When Yan Hui left, Di Jiu would have to accept his fate .
Even Mi Ji, who wanted to interrogate Di Jiu, stopped himself . After all, he knew that the only possible outcome would be making Yan Hui take Di Jiu with her . This act would not make Di Jiu stay . The question was, would Di Jiu follow Yan Hui when she left?
Given Di Jiu’s prideful character, they would succeed so long as he did not leave with Yan Hui .
They were somewhat certain that Di Jiu would not leave with Yan Hui . Back when Di Jiu had been a mere early-stage Immortal Lord, he had not had any background . Even so, he had dared to sell the Starry Sky Tea in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, sabotage the Star Elixir Dispensary, and kill the daughter of Huang Yetian, the Sect Master of the Thousand Maples Immortal Sect .
To say that Di Jiu was arrogant would be an understatement . He had attended the auction in the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City alone and seized items that belonged to several Immortal Emperors . While escaping, he had also robbed the New Moon Commercial Building when he visited the Lunar Forsaken Tomb .
Such an arrogant person would not leave so casually when they had powerful backing . He was most likely about to attain the Immortal King Realm and that man called Old Zhong, who was by his side, was probably a late-stage Immortal Emperor .
The crowd of experts burned with desire when they thought of the way Di Jiu had attained the Immortal King Realm in such a short time .
“Di Jiu will definitely not follow Yan Hui when she leaves,” commented Mi Ji with certainty .
“Why do you say that?” someone asked . Everyone believed that Di Jiu would not leave but had no way of confirming that .
Mi Ji said in a mocking tone, “This person thinks that the entire Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City will be his since Yan Hui was not with him when he came here . As for Yan Hui, she met Di Jiu coincidentally outside the gates of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City and was actually not his supporter . I suspect that Di Jiu is instead relying on the man beside him, whose cultivation level seems to be very high . ”
Everyone remained silent . An Immortal Emperor could not lord over the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City, no matter how powerful they are . Only Fang Feilou kept his peace about this matter, as he was well aware of how powerful Zhong Ao was . A late-stage Immortal Emperor was nothing compared to Old Zhong .
“Why are we not taking action now?” inquired Zhong Ao curiously as they entered the city .
Di Jiu chuckled . “It would not be satisfying if we took any action now, as many people are still missing . I’m worried that these people will be shy when coming here after that . Since I have already decided to take action, I intend to eliminate them all in one big swoop . Additionally, these bastards seem to be doing nothing due to Yan Hui’s presence . However, I am similarly not able to do anything while she is here . Otherwise, she will definitely make an appearance . ”
Di Jiu had a good grasp of Yan Hui’s character . She’d had an extraordinary life and possessed an extremely high cultivation level . Yan Hui might help the fellas from the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City should he kill too much later . When that happened, she would become an obstacle instead, for he could not kill her or let her off .
“Where are we going, Big Brother?” inquired Little Tree when it saw that Di Jiu continued walking without telling it anything .
It was currently dragging two bodies along . It would definitely not have asked where Big Brother was headed to so anxiously if its hands had been empty .
“We’re here . ” Di Jiu stopped walking at the place where the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City was the busiest .
Zhong Ao lifted his head and saw a tall building with the words “Great Fortune Inn” floating above using a Defense Array .
The influence of this inn within the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City aside, its location served as a clear indication that this inn was one of the best in the city .
Di Jiu unsheathed the Heavenly Aqua Saber . When he slashed down with a light blue saber flare, the level-seven Immortal Array outside the Great Fortune Inn shattered like eggshells .
“How dare you attack the Defense Array of the Great Fortune Inn!” hollered the fat man, his voice quivering in anger .
Di Jiu chuckled . “How self-righteous are you? I just dared to attack the Defense Array of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City . What makes you think I wouldn’t dare to attack the array of a small inn like yours?”
As soon as he said that, the Heavenly Aqua Saber slashed down once more .
Upon feeling the onslaught of the deadly aura, the man turned pale and screeched, “How dare you kill me here!”
The late-stage Immortal King standing beside the fat man took a step forward with the intention of stopping Di Jiu . However, he immediately felt the surrounding space freeze upon taking that step . It was the Immortal Emperor Domain . The Immortal King burst into a cold sweat .
The fat man’s body fell onto the ground after being sliced into two by the Heavenly Aqua Saber .
Di Jiu sighed . How arrogant could one be to think that Di Jiu would not kill them?
Bam! A ball of fire landed on the fat man . The Immortal King was cut into half by Di Jiu similarly with only one slash .
All the cultivators in the Great Fortune Inn were shocked upon witnessing Di Jiu kill that fat man and the Immortal King in a few seconds . Both the employees and the guests fled the inn .
Di Jiu waved the Heavenly Aqua Saber in his hand in a flourishing movement as he announced, “All guests are to leave immediately . You have 10 seconds to do so . Otherwise, you will forever lose the opportunity . ”
Less than half of this time had passed when nearly all the cultivators quickly escaped after hearing what Di Jiu said . No one dared to take any risk when their lives were in jeopardy . Cultivators were people who always carried their possessions on them . Hence, they did not have to head back in to pack .
The Great Fortune Inn might be powerful, but that was something to be concerned about later . Now, they needed to escape .
All the residents of the inn left within five seconds . Half of the workers escaped as well . The other half frantically sent out an SOS while getting ready to defend themselves against Di Jiu under the directions of a deacon . They believed that the Deputy City Lord would be there soon .
This time, without needing Zhong Ao’s Domain, a wave of saber flares was emitted from the Heavenly Aqua Saber . In a few seconds, there was no one alive except for Di Jiu and his companions .
…
Inside the City Lord Manor of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, Jie Guangmao suddenly stood up . Upon recalling what Di Jiu had previously said about not daring to head back to the Starry Sky Tea House, he was so furious that he started shaking .
His reputation bit the dust after Di Jiu publicly smashed the Great Fortune Inn’s Defense Array into pieces and killed the manager . Moreover, the employees and deacons of the Great Fortune Inn had been one step too slow, so they had all been killed by Di Jiu . Such actions were akin to slapping his face repeatedly .
“Deputy City Lord Jie, I suggest that you wait and see,” advised Dui Pingchuan, “There is nothing you could do even if you headed over there now . Old Zhong, who is that man by his side, should be a late-stage Immortal Emperor . Even with Yan Hui out of the picture, five Immortal Emperors like us might not be able to detain Di Jiu . Therefore, we have to wait for the Sect Masters of the Five Major Immortal Sects of the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent to get here . I heard that Ye Xi from the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent is looking for him as well . No matter how powerful he is, Di Jiu will have no choice but to stay here if these people arrive, regardless of whether Yan Hui stays or leaves . ”
Actually, Dui Pingchuan was not content to let matters rest in this manner . He knew very well that Di Jiu had to possess a Dao fruit .
“Immortal Emperor Great Sovereignty of the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent has arrived,” announced someone outside the door . Then a red-haired, red-faced man walked inside .
…
In the Sparrow Cloud Inn, Yan Hui suddenly sighed and stood up . “Yuxuan, come with me . If we don’t leave now, we won’t be able to later . ”
“Ancestral Master, Senior Brother Di has saved my life multiple times . I need to invite him along if we leave,” said Mo Yuxuan .
“Palatial Lord Xie Wanling of the Starry Demon Palace and Sect Master Xiling Yuanyi of the Buzhou Immortal Sect just arrived . They came here for Di Jiu . Di Jiu is far too bloodthirsty if he killed more than 20 people in the Great Fortune Inn…” Yan Hui looked at Mo Yuxuan . She had no way of saving Di Jiu now . Similarly, she had also guessed that the man by Di Jiu’s side was an Immortal Emperor . However, that cultivation meant nothing here .
“Ancestral Master, please bring Senior Brother Di along . ” Mo Yuxuan grew anxious upon hearing what Yan Hui said .
With a frown, Yan Hui shook her head . In truth, she had not expected that Di Jiu would attract so many experts to this place . Everything would still be under her control if the Immortal Emperors of the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent did not come . However, judging by the increasing number of experts gathering there, she knew that the situation had spiraled out of her control .
