Ninth in The World - Chapter 562

Chapter 562: 562

Before Sha Wushang could ask, Ni Xiren offered information without being prompted . “Senior Sha, I have only obtained an ancient array disc from Zimo . I did not take anything else . However, I have seen what is in his ring and there is nothing good within it . ”

 Ni Xiren was implying that he had not seen anything else in Di Jiu’s ring . He guessed that Ni Xiren and his son had come here seeking something .

 “Give me the array disc . I will have a look at it,” said Sha Wushang as he walked into the Teleportation Array .

 Ni Xiren dared not conceal anything . Hastily, he followed behind and handed the array disc to Sha Wushang .

 After accepting the array disc, Sha Wushang examined it for some time before exclaiming, “A mere Immortal Emperor actually grasped the time laws to this extent and refined an array disc of such a high level!”

 “Senior Sha, isn’t this array disc an ancient relic that was obtained by Zimo? How…” Ni Xiren felt increasingly puzzled . How could this array disc possibly have been refined by Zimo?

 Sha Wushang sneered . “My eyes are still working . There are indeed some traces of time on the array disc, but that is only because the cultivator who refined this disc possessed a relatively good understanding of the time law . The ancient relics will be worthless if they are like this . The only reason you failed to see it is because your horizons are limited . ”

 The implied meaning was that Ni Xiren’s understanding of the time laws was inferior to Zimo’s .

 Ni Xiren’s face immediately turned pale . At the moment, he was almost 100 percent sure that Zimo was the one who had killed his son, Ni Luan . If that cultivator could transverse the Wormhole unobstructed, how difficult would it be for Zimo to save Ni Luan?

 He had refined the array disc after killing his son mainly to deal with people like him . Such an item would distract them and make them stop suspecting the person in question .

 “Did you recall anything?” Sha Wushang’s gaze landed on Ni Xiren .

 With a bow, Ni Xiren replied, “Senior, I already knew that my son Ni Luan was killed by this person . Therefore, I regret that I did not kill this weakling when I had the opportunity . ”

 Sha Wushang stopped paying attention to Ni Xiren . He was a Guild Master of a Chamber of Commerce who most likely was very arrogant . How else could he have let a weakling like Di Jiu go? An Ascension Dao Pill could indeed determine the life or death of an Immortal Emperor after all .

 How could someone who had come out of the Wormhole or dared to head to the border of the Murderous Dao Lake be an ordinary cultivator?

The Teleportation Array was activated and the few of them were quickly teleported to the Endless Dike .

 The moment they left the Teleportation Array, Sha Wushang held up Di Jiu’s portrait and walked over to the cultivator guarding the Teleportation Array . “Have you seen this person before?” he asked .

 As he spoke, his aura suffocated the guard .

 The guard’s legs trembled and he took a few steps back before hastily bowing . “I do indeed remember seeing a cultivator who looked like this man teleport here . ”

 Sha Wushang’s powerful aura convinced the guard that he was an expert who had attained the second step . After all, he had encountered many cultivators so he knew this for a fact after sensing Sha Wushang’s aura .

 He remembered Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia very well . They had been slightly stunned upon teleporting here . It was only when he had yelled at them that they had stepped out of the array, which was why he still remembered them clearly .

 “Where did these two people head?” demanded Sha Wushang .

 The guard hastily replied, “I did not notice . However, cultivators who come here usually head to the Endless Dike if they are not in the market to look for items they need . ”

 Before he could finish speaking, Sha Wushang had already left the Teleportation Hall .

 Sha Wushang had the exact same thought as the guard . There were many places to teleport to from the Leaping Dao Door Divine City . The Endless Dike was only one of many . Since Di Jiu had chosen the Endless Dike, this meant that he intended to make use of that place to escape . In Sha Wushang’s opinion, the Endless Dike was simply a larger version of the Wormhole Defense District and the Leaping Dao Door Divine City .

Di Jiu would definitely be captured by him once he entered the Endless Dike…

 At this thought, Sha Wushang froze . He remembered the extremely careful manner in which Di Jiu handled matters . Di Jiu was someone who would grasp at any opportunity available . Even Ni Xiren had been fooled by him .

 If Di Jiu’s thought process was so intricate, why would he not realize that heading to the Endless Dike was a dead end for him?

 Sha Wushang’s face became ugly upon the realization that Di Jiu might not have entered the Endless Dike .

 In that case, where could he search now? The Dao World was enormous . It would not be a simple feat for even a Primordial Dao expert like himself to travel through the entire Dao World .

 “Father, let us issue an arrest warrant immediately at the Endless Dike’s market and assassinate this weakling called Zimo . I refuse to believe that the sheer number of people entering the Endless Dike cannot find two Immortal Emperors . ”

 Sha Wushang did not look well . He was aware that he most likely would no longer be able to find Zimo given the time already lost .

 “I will let you take charge of this . I will head to other places to take a look . ” With that, Sha Wushang immediately left the market . He did not know which direction Di Jiu had escaped in but he still planned to choose a direction at random and perhaps catch up with Di Jiu .

 …

 Di Jiu escaped without a break, changing multiple directions mid-journey .

 After escaping for three whole months, he finally stopped . His Spiritual Force had sensed that there was a relatively big divine city slightly ahead .

 This divine city had to be located near the sea, as he had already detected a fishy smell from a large distance away .

 This was a good place to be . Even if Ni Xiren came here, they could still escape into the boundless ocean .

 Di Jiu let both Zhuo Wujia and Mu Jie out . This place should be temporarily safe . He believed that with his Spiritual Force escape technique, it would be hard for an ordinary person to sense the spatial fluctuations . After all, his understanding of the Heaven Earth Law was superior compared to the average cultivator . Therefore, there were virtually no spatial fluctuations while he was executing the Spiritual Force escape technique .

 “Brother Di!” called out Mu Jie and Zhuo Wujia the moment they were out . They had already scanned the area using their Spiritual Force . This place was completely empty, and there were no traces of human activity around .

 “We should be safe here at the moment . Ahead is a divine city, so we should enter it to gather some information . Then, we have to work hard to increase our cultivation . Otherwise, we will always depend on people’s mercy no matter how far away we escape . ” The urgent sense of danger was no longer present, but Di Jiu felt that he had to still complete the Dao Validation as soon as possible .

 “Brother Di, I would have died many times over if it wasn’t for you . ” Upon sensing the dense Heaven Earth Essence Energy around, Mu Jie bowed before Di Jiu with barely concealed excitement .

 Zhuo Wujia remained silent, although he knew that he was severely indebted to Di Jiu as well .

 Di Jiu waved his hand dismissively . “It would be best if we disguised ourselves a little . I have some masks here with me that were refined by me . Their quality is not that great, but we can use them first . We can consider changing them for something better in the future . ”

 Di Jiu took out three supreme-grade mask immortal weapons . In the Immortal World, these were considered apex treasures . In this place, however, Di Jiu was right to say that this mask was not a high-level item .

 Zhuo Wujia and Mu Jie did not reject the proffered masks . After they put them on, Zhuo Wujia disguised himself as a pale scholarly cultivator, Di Jiu as a brawny Itinerant Cultivator, and Mu Jie as an extremely ordinary female Itinerant Cultivator .

 “Brother Di, your ideas are the best . I predict that the people chasing after us must still be at the Endless Dike market, issuing an arrest warrant . ” Zhuo Wujia was very impressed by Di Jiu’s idea to escape as far as they could immediately instead of staying in the Endless Dike .

 Di Jiu shook his head . “Don’t be too optimistic . Sooner or later, they will realize that we are not in the Endless Dike . Perhaps they already know . Therefore, after entering the divine city, we must hurriedly head to any good mystic areas or places where we can make a fortune . ”

 He was not as optimistic as Zhuo Wujia . Ni Xiren was nothing given how arrogant he was . What he was worried about was the person backing the cultivator Di Jiu had separated from the Dao Seed . Things would not look good once that person started chasing after him .

 “I agree with Brother Di . We should quickly increase our cultivation levels . ” Mu Jie was similarly extremely impressed by Di Jiu . She suspected that he owned a top-notch world, as this was the only possible explanation for the way he had brought her out of the Leaping Dao Door Divine City .
