Chapter 567: Wei Hongyi’s Fear

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The space quietened down and the three other people along with the patch-faced man entered stagnation at the same time.

Ji Hong had been killed? He had been killed by an Immortal Emperor face-to-face?

Ji Hong was the strongest among the four of them. With Ji Hong killed, the remaining three unexpectedly did not attack Di Jiu and the other two once again.

However, Di Jiu was constantly setting up nomological array flags. He had been greatly worn out by using his Crevice Traverse Saber Move to kill Ji Hong, who had been restricted by Mu Jie.

“They used the Confinement Killing Array to kill Brother Ji. Let’s attack together and take revenge for Big Brother. Don’t worry, I’ve broken the Confinement Killing Array that they rely on.” The female cultivator reacted by shouting sternly.

The other two cultivators, who had condensed their Dao Seed, also reacted and drew their Dharma treasures before pointing them at Di Jiu at the same time.

Di Jiu was relieved, as another nomological Confinement Killing Array once again engulfed him. At the same time, he told Mu Jie through voice transmission to deal with that woman.

The two Dao Modeling cultivators were the patch-faced man they had killed and another woman. However, she was far weaker than the patch-faced man in Di Jiu’s opinion.

“It’s the Confinement Killing Array again…” The three of them drew their Dharma treasures and could once again sense that they had entered a new Confinement Killing Array.

There was no array flag. Such a Confinement Killing Array seemed to be born naturally… A naturally-born Confinement Killing Array would be a natural Dharma Array.

This was merely Honeycomb Beach, so there would not be so many natural Dharma Arrays. Even if there were, they would be confined by it twice as much coincidentally.

Mu Jie had reacted long ago. While she feared Di Jiu’s formidable strength, her Half-Moon Double Blade also scraped up a tornado blade flare and locked on that woman.

This time, she did not miss her chance. There were also three members of the other party, but Di Jiu’s Confinement Killing Array did not break at that moment.

They would die for sure once they were engulfed by Mu Jie’s terrifying tornado blade flare. That woman could no longer care about breaking the Confinement Killing Array, and the Dharma treasure in her hand turned into frantic defensive walls to block those tornado blade flares.

However, the woman felt increasingly terrified as well as regretful deep down. Since Ji Hong had been killed, she should have escaped immediately. Instead, she thought of Ji Hong and these cultivators’ treasures and wanted to kill the three of them.

Ji Hong would not have died if these three people were that easy to kill.

At the same time, Di Jiu slashed with just one simple saber move of his Heavenly Aqua Saber. Mu Jie and that woman were puzzled by his Heavenly Aqua Saber, which was not slashing toward his opponents but someplace unaffected by the battle.

Boom! Mu Jie and the other party’s Dharma treasures clashed. However, unlike what they’d expected, there was no explosion of Essence Energy all over or even many spatial fluctuations.

Mu Jie did not sense any backfire at all. Her Half-Moon Double Blade sent her opponent’s Dharma treasure flying and revealed her body due to the tornado blade flare.

This…

Mu Jie was also somewhat confused. What was going on? When had she become so powerful?

“Pfft!” When Mu Jie’s first blade flare swept up blood, that woman looked at Di Jiu in despair. She opened her mouth to say something, but the killing intent that engulfed everything did not allow her to speak.

Her emotions were in turmoil, as she did not know how Ji Hong had been killed. However, she knew very well how she was going to be killed.

When Di Jiu had slashed at her with that saber move, the law of her divine power had suddenly disintegrated. Her divine power law had been shattered into pieces… There was such a divine power technique in the world? On the surface, it looked as if she had been killed by Mu Jie, but in fact, she knew too well that it had been Di Jiu.

A blood trail exploded once again and the woman’s thoughts went blank.

Di Jiu attacked the Confinement Killing Array and his Heavenly Aqua Saber swept up a saber flare that enveloped one of the remaining two people.

Di Jiu was still far from done with dealing with a Dao Modeling cultivator. He needed the help of his Confinement Killing Array and Mu Jie. However, he did not need to waste much energy to deal with a cultivator who had only condensed her Dao Seed. Plus, this was his territory, right?

 
Almost at the same time that Mu Jie and Zhuo Wujia joined forces to kill another person, Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber split the area between the cultivator’s eyebrows.

Mu Jie’s emotions were in turmoil, as Di Jiu was simply too formidable.

When Di Jiu put away the second ring, Mu Jie handed him two more rings. He did not take them. Instead, he said, “Sister Mu, these two rings are for you and Brother Zhuo. Let’s go into the Honeycomb.”

Wei Hongyi squinted his eyes and stared at the three of them, who were going deep into Honeycomb Beach. He unexpectedly did not stop them again.

“Big Brother Wei, should we…” a pale cultivator at Wei Hongyi’s side tried to ask in a low voice. He was wondering whether they should chase after the three of them to get rid of them.

Wei Hongyi gestured with his hands. “No need. Let’s also enter the Honeycomb. Although we have fewer people, this will not affect us greatly.”

He looked sinister and he could see very well that the patch-faced man and the other three seemed to have been confined by a Confinement Killing Array. Then, the young cultivator had gotten rid of the patch-faced man with one saber move.

He could not make out Di Jiu’s cultivation level but he was sure that he had not modeled his Dao yet. After he had gotten rid of the patch-faced man, the other three seemed to have been confined by a Confinement Killing Array once again and were killed one after another eventually.

Wei Hongyi was not very proficient in the Array Dao. On the contrary, he had not spent much time cultivating all these years. Instead, he had spent most of his time studying the Array Dao. Despite his Spiritual Force, he could not sense what Dharma Array Di Jiu had set up.

His secretive technique of setting up the Confinement Killing Array simply made people afraid. Even though he was not afraid of Di Jiu, he did not want to have a battle with him.

“They did not chase us over. They went to the other side.” Zhuo Wujia was relieved when he saw that Wei Hongyi had not brought the remaining cultivators over to chase after them.

Di Jiu was also relieved. If the cultivator in red had chased them, they would really have been in trouble. His Confinement Killing Array could not even confine two Dao Modeling cultivators, let alone the group with the cultivator in red, which consisted of at least seven Dao Modeling cultivators.

Without the Confinement Killing Array, facing a group of Dao Modeling cultivators with his Immortal Emperor cultivation level would be a joke.

Di Jiu and the other two stopped at the entrance of a Honeycomb Cave. Their Spiritual Force scanned the inside and they very soon realized something was wrong.

“It’s a little strange inside. When my Spiritual Force scanned the cave, it seemed like a nine-turn cloister. I couldn’t see anything,” Mu Jie said doubtfully.

“Let’s go in first.” When Di Jiu saw Wei Hongyi and a group of people enter a Honeycomb Cave, he stepped into one first.

Once they stepped into the Honeycomb Cave, the three of them had a feeling that they could not grasp its definite location.

They were clearly not far from each other, but everyone could sense that they were far from the other two.

Di Jiu’s voice came in time. “I’ll walk in front. You two follow me. Once we encounter the Stacked Partition Herb, don’t pick it. I’ll dig it up.”

“How will that do? The Stacked Partition Herb is toxic…” Zhuo Wujia immediately replied.

Di Jiu chuckled. “I’m the person who’s most unafraid of poison.”

Zhuo Wujia recalled the time when he and Di Jiu had guarded the Wormhole together. Many cultivators guarding the Wormhole had been poisoned and had used the antidote. However, Di Jiu had never used it before and he had never been poisoned. Zhuo Wujia, who followed Di Jiu, had not been poisoned either.

“Daoist Zhuo, we’ll listen to Brother Di.” Mu Jie trusted Di Jiu very much. However, when this mission ended, she would not team up with Di Jiu any more. She would leave on her own.

Although she had teamed up with Di Jiu, she was simply taking advantage of him. It also had a certain effect on him when he took them with him for a test trial. Without her, Di Jiu definitely would not have stopped fighting with the patch-faced man that day.

Mu Jie thought this way, and so did Zhuo Wujia. He was also an arrogant person and he had treated Di Jiu as a friend for a long time. However, although he could let his friend help him once or twice, if this happened every single time and he could not help himself, he would implicate Di Jiu.
