Chapter 552: 552
Regardless of whether Ni Luan was hiding somewhere, this was not something Mu Jie could control . With the Worm Tide coming wave after wave, she could only continue leading everyone to deal with the worms .
Di Jiu felt that he had been too ostentatious previously . He had shown such a strong combat strength that it was hard to guarantee that nobody would doubt him . He did not use the nomological arrays again . Instead, he used his Heavenly Aqua Saber to deal with the worms .
Even so, Di Jiu collected a pile of worms after 11 days .
After guarding the Wormhole for 11 days, Di Jiu had a rough understanding of the Wormhole . Not every worm equaled a point, and some worms were not even worth a point . For example, he had earned three points for killing the Jagged Tooth Worm, and the rarely-seen Double-Horned Dragon Beast Worm was worth at least 100 points .
A small minority of the worms carried worm eggs . He would make it big if he could cut open a worm’s abdomen and obtain a worm egg .
In just 11 days, all the surviving cultivators were exhausted . Some of them even looked faint green in the face, so it did not look like they had been slightly poisoned .
According to Kan Yiwei, they had an even higher death rate this time . Over 100 people had died .
The Defense Array was once again opened, just like when Di Jiu and the others had come previously . The 1,000 people who stood outside the Defense Array were there to take over guarding the Wormhole .
Mu Jie simply handed everything over to those cultivators and rushed out from the front line of the Wormhole with a group of cultivators who wanted to leave .
After they rushed out of the Defense Array, it once again closed behind them . Everyone then took a long breath . Their 11 days of suffering had passed .
Many cultivators headed toward the contribution point exchange area and took out the corpses of the worms to prepare to exchange them for contribution points . Di Jiu planned to do the same .
“Brother Zimo, don’t exchange all the worms . It is useful to keep some . ” When Kan Yiwei saw Di Jiu exchange the worms for materials, he immediately walked over and spoke to him .
Di Jiu nodded his head . “Thank you, I got it . ”
Mu Jie, who was in no mood to exchange anything for contribution points, immediately told Shen Changshui about Ni Luan .
When Shen Changshui heard that Ni Luan had been engulfed by the Wormhole while guarding the Wormhole in the North District, he was immediately stunned . He then rushed over to the Wormhole in a hurry .
When Shen Changshui arrived, Di Jiu had already exchanged all his worm materials despite Kan Yiwei telling him to keep some of them . These worm materials were not worth much money to Di Jiu . He had blacksmithing materials, so he was not short on worm materials .
“Mu Jie, Zimo, both of you come with me . ” When Shen Changshui was certain about Ni Luan’s fate, he looked bad . However, Di Jiu had braved death and entered the Wormhole to save someone and even saved over dozens of cultivators who had fallen into the Wormhole previously . This was considered something good .
“Brother Zimo, I will pay you a visit after you return . ” Kan Yiwei had also exchanged all of his materials but he did not know how many worm corpses Di Jiu had exchanged in one go . He had a feeling that Di Jiu had exchanged many of them this time .
Zhuo Wujia, who already knew that Di Jiu had probably gotten rid of Ni Luan, only nodded at Di Jiu and left with Kan Yiwei .
Di Jiu was really strong and did things perfectly, so there should not be any problems .
…
Shen Changshui resided in the center of the North District, and there was a big courtyard outside his cave abode where he had planted some immortal spirit herbs . Even though these plants were low-level, they filled this place with rich Immortal Spirit Qi so he felt comfortable after walking in .
“Mu Jie, you have caused great trouble,” Shen Changshui immediately told Mu Jie after he sat down .
Mu Jie sighed without replying, as she was also aware of this . Who had cursed her to be so unlucky? Ni Luan had to put himself to the test just as she was guarding the Wormhole . He was simply such a burden .
Di Jiu said with a frown, “Leader Shen, Union Master Mu has always been protecting Ni Luan . This time, the worms were simply too many . When Ni Luan was engulfed by the Wormhole, Union Master Mu tried to save him with all her strength . It is also because Union Master Mu had told us that we had to protect Ni Luan well that I braved death and entered the Wormhole to save him . It’s a pity that I did not succeed . ”
Upon hearing that, Mu Jie looked at Di Jiu gratefully . She was now sure that Di Jiu had been trying to help her by entering the Wormhole to save Ni Luan .
Shen Changshui sighed . “I can’t decide about this matter anymore . I supposed the Moving Essence Chamber of Commerce must already know that I’m speaking to the person in charge of guarding the Wormhole . If my guess is correct, they must be about to arrive here . This time… the Moving Essence Chamber of Commerce’s Guild Master will most likely come over personally . ”
…
Meanwhile, a big group of cultivators was discussing in shock under the Array Formation Display Screen of the Wormhole contribution points . Two newcomers had managed to climb up to the top 1,000 .
One of them was the fellow called Zimo, who had earned 3,621 contribution points and climbed up to the 530th place . On the other hand, a fellow called Zhuo Wujia had earned 1,140 contribution points and climbed up to the 936th place .
This was an extraordinary incident, as ordinary cultivators needed to spend many years if they wanted to make the top 1,000 . At the end of each year, their points would be reduced by half and transferred forward to the next year .
Wang Xie’s face sank when he saw the list . He had arranged for seven people to attack Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia, but they had said that these two were too formidable so they had not had a chance to strike . Previously, he had doubted what they had said . However, now that he had seen the contribution point roll, he knew that this Zimo fellow was really formidable . Zhuo Wujia was not simple either . Otherwise, those two would not have made it to the top 1,000 . Also, they had only gone to the Wormhole once .
However, he also heard a piece of good news . Ni Luan had gone missing while guarding the Wormhole this time, and he was sure that Ni Xiren would not let this matter go easily .
…
Wang Xie had guessed correctly, as Ni Xiren would not let this matter go indeed . He had already arrived at Shen Changshui’s cave abode under the lead of the Wormhole deacon, Chang Xin .
Shen Changshui led Mu Jie and Di Jiu out and welcomed them outside his cave abode . He bowed down straight from afar . “Leader Shen Changshui of the Wormhole’s North District pays his respects to Deacon Chang and Guild Master Ni . ”
Mu Jie bowed down straight too, while Di Jiu pretended he knew none of them and greeted them blankly .
He had recognized Ni Xiren but could not make out his definite strength . However, it seemed like a vast, boundless world when he stood here . Di Jiu was certain that regardless of how many techniques he had, Ni Xiren only needed to extend his hand if he wanted to kill him .
Ni Xiren actually looked handsome . His eyes were somewhat slender and seemed harmless on the surface, but Di Jiu could sense a kind of terrifying bloodlust that indicated that one would die if they moved against him .
Unlike Ni Xiren, even though the cultivation level of Wormhole deacon Chang Xin was far higher, Di Jiu could perceive it .
Ni Xiren’s gaze landed on Mu Jie as he said calmly, “Tell me about this situation . ”
“Yes . ” Mu Jie’s face turned pale as she told him about the situation without adding anything .
Upon hearing that Di Jiu had braved death and entered the Wormhole to save Ni Luan, Ni Xiren turned his attention to Di Jiu . Di Jiu was already aware that his ring had been broken open by Ni Xiren’s Spiritual Force, but even though he was extremely furious, he did not dare act rashly . Fortunately, he cultivated the Nomological Dao and could allow himself to fuse with space . Thus, he did not reveal his fury .
“Take out the array disc for me to see,” Ni Xiren said calmly .
Di Jiu took out the piece of the array disc without hesitation .
Ni Xiren took Di Jiu’s array disc and looked at it for a while but did not return it . He put away the array disc and took out an elixir pill for Di Jiu as he said, “You’re not bad if you were able to brave death to save someone . I will reward you with an Ascension Dao Pill . You may consume it now . ”
A milky-white elixir pill floated in front of Di Jiu .
When Mu Jie saw this elixir pill, her face instantly turned pale . She had never seen this kind of Ascension Dao Pill before but had heard of it . Once he swallowed this elixir pill, his entire Dao would gradually be stripped off and then get integrated into this elixir pill . Her premonition was right . If Ni Xiren would not let Di Jiu off, would he let her off? The reason he had not killed Di Jiu straightaway yet was probably because of Di Jiu’s array disc .
“Thank you, Guild Master, for your generosity . ” Di Jiu took the elixir pill excitedly and swallowed it without any hesitation .
Ni Xiren nodded his head in satisfaction while Chang Xin looked a bit sarcastic .
Ni Xiren’s gaze once again landed on Mu Jie as he faintly said, “You’re still alive even though my son was engulfed by the Wormhole…”
