Chapter 657: 657
At the same time, Di Jiu saw the person approaching . It was a man with grayish-white stripes . His surrounding Dao runes condensed, and he had a domineering bloodlust . He looked like a late-stage Primordial Dao expert . However, Di Jiu felt that this fellow’s cultivation was going to reach the Primordial Chaos Realm soon . Therefore, he was very likely a half-step Primordial Chaos expert .
Behind this man was the person who’d wanted to purchase Lightning and told him to get lost .
Even though he knew the two of them had come to find him, Di Jiu did not stop at all . He stepped into the inn nearby instead .
“My apologies . There is no empty cave abode now . ” Upon seeing Di Jiu ask for a room, the inn assistant apologized without hesitation .
“Friend, there are seven more years left to go before the Dao Fruit Pagoda opens . These days, there are a lot of auctions in the Void City . It’ll be very hard to find a place to stay . If you want to, I can help you . ” The man with the grayish-white stripes on his face, who had followed Di Jiu, suddenly spoke .
Before Di Jiu could speak, another voice transmission came through . “It’s not that there are no rooms . There is another explanation . Since you are from the Human Clan, you can’t book a room here . You can go to the Divine Phoenix Inn of the Phoenix Clan . The Phoenix Clan is on good terms with the Human Clan…”
Di Jiu did not search for the person who had sent the voice transmission, as he vaguely felt that something was wrong . This person was clearly a Human Clan cultivator . The Human Clan still had a position in the Void City, so why was he dodging while he talked or did something?
“Let’s go . We’ll go to another one . ” Di Jiu, who did not care about the stripe-faced man, scanned the area outside with his Spiritual Force without any worries .
Even though there were some simple isolation restrictions, Di Jiu broke them without hesitation . Since the Dao Fruit Pagoda had yet to start, he would leave after the Dao Fruit Pagoda started . He needed to be strong, as he would be spending many years here .
The stripe-faced man, who had wanted to stop Di Jiu at first, sensed him scanning the area with his Spiritual Force without restraint . Therefore, he frowned slightly and subconsciously slowed down his pace .
Meanwhile, Di Jiu walked toward the Divine Phoenix Inn, which was in a good location, with Ding Chi . He entered to book a big cave abode . Apart from the main cultivation room, there were also three secondary cultivation rooms .
Di Jiu, Ding Chi, and Lightning occupied one room each, so there was one cultivation room left .
“That fellow unexpectedly did not follow us,” Ding Chi said doubtfully after entering the inn room .
“He is here . He’s just outside the restriction . ” Di Jiu chuckled as he replied .
As expected, after Di Jiu said that, the restriction at the door was touched . Di Jiu opened the restriction, but the stripe-faced man was not polite at all . He walked in with the blue-haired man and even took the initiative to find a seat .
“I’m Qi Lai . You should know that I’m from the Demon Clan . I really want to purchase your beast companion because it’s a member of the Demon Clan . I hope it will return to the clan so that it will be treated as a beast companion . ” Qi Lai, who cupped his fists, sounded calm . This was still indisputable beneath the surface .
Di Jiu did not mind Qi Lai’s unquestionable tone . His gaze landed on Lightning as he wondered whether it had some kind of background .
Regardless of this, he had to check on Lightning’s background .
“I’ve heard this, so you guys can leave . As for my beast companion, I will decide about it . You don’t have to bother,” Di Jiu said faintly .
“Friend, do you want to go against the Demon Clan?” Qi Lai’s face turned cold, and his aura frantically swept as though it was going to bind the space in this room completely .
Even though Di Jiu did not need to take out his Heavenly Aqua Saber, he could send this fellow flying with one kick . However, he drew his Heavenly Aqua Saber without hesitation and prepared to make a slashing move .
“Daoist, please stop . ” A voice was heard abruptly, followed by a powerful domain aura .
Di Jiu stopped . He was certain that this was a Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor .
Then, a thin yellow-haired woman with cat-like eyes walked in .
“Qi Lai greets you, Senior . ” Qi Lai, who had wanted to use this space to bind Di Jiu, hurriedly bowed at that moment .
The blue-haired man greeted her respectfully . “Zhuge Jiao greets you, Senior Tang . ”
The yellow-haired woman snorted and faintly said, “I won’t get involved with the grudges you bear against the cultivator staying in my inn . However, if you want to make a move here, don’t blame me for being rude . Even if the Demon Clan’s Fan Yuan comes, I will still say the same . ”
“I understand . I will take my leave . ” Even though Qi Lai knew he’d only extended his domain aura and had not made a move, he still did not dare retort at that moment . After he respectfully bowed, he quickly left with Zhuge Jiao .
If he had known that Tang Xitan would come back that day, he definitely would not have used his aura to crush Di Jiu in his room .
After Qi Lai retreated, Di Jiu said with cupped fists, “Di Jiu greets you, Senior . ”
The woman before him was definitely a Primordial Chaos expert . There was no doubt about it . However, Di Jiu did not fear her based on his perception .
The yellow-haired woman sized up Di Jiu and said faintly, “You are really bold . If my theory is correct, you’re not a Human Clan cultivator from the Sacred Dao World . ”
Di Jiu answered in a manner that was neither overbearing nor humble, “That’s right . I’m indeed not a cultivator from the Sacred Dao World . However, Qi Lai wanted to use his spatial domain to suppress me at my place . I naturally won’t be bullied without doing anything . ”
The yellow-haired woman frowned slightly and answered all of a sudden, “You must have reached the Primordial Dao Realm not too long ago, right? Do you know what realm Qi Lai is at? Perhaps you might think that he’s also at the Primordial Dao Realm like you . I’ll be frank . Qi Lai’s cultivation technique is somewhat strange . I’m afraid he is already at the half-step Primordial Chaos Realm . If I hadn’t come today, he could easily have killed you . Nobody would have stood up for you . At most, he would only have offered an apology to my inn and compensated me for some things . ”
Di Jiu did not answer, as there was no need for him to retort to what she had said . If the yellow-haired woman had not come, he would have killed Qi Lai instead of the other way around .
Upon seeing Di Jiu not retort, the yellow-haired woman sighed and said, “You might not know why I’m helping you, but it’s because the Phoenix Clan owes Senior Ye too much . I try to help the Human Clan cultivators in the Void City as much as I can . In fact, ever since Senior Ye left the Void City, the Human Clan here has gradually weakened . Nobody dares to bully the Human Clan cultivators brazenly because Senior Ye’s influence still lingers and none of the cultivators from the clans would dare to offend Senior Ye…”
Di Jiu was silently amazed . It was not the first time he had heard of a Senior with the surname Ye be called Sacred Emperor . Now that the Phoenix Clan’s Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor in front of him had also called this person Senior, it was obvious that this person had great power and prestige in the Void City in the past .
“Since Sacred Emperor Ye of the Human Clan is so powerful, why do the cultivators still restrain their movements in the Void City?” Di Jiu expressed his doubts .
The yellow-haired woman smiled slightly . “That is because it was rumored back then that the Sacred Emperors of a few clans surrounded and attacked Senior Ye and ended up being killed without exception . As a result, these few clans suffered great damage to their Essence Energy but did not dare seek revenge in the Sacred Dao World or even mention Senior Ye respectfully . ”
Di Jiu secretly looked up to him . This was a true expert . He would kill you, but you would not dare to make a sound .
“Senior, may I ask which clans Sacred Emperor Ye offended back then?” Di Jiu cupped his fists .
The yellow-haired woman faintly replied, “Senior Ye killed the Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors of the Dragon Clan, the Demon Clan, the Devil Clan, and the Sea Clan . I heard that even the Guang Yuan Palace’s Palatial Lord perished in his hands . Right now, the most powerful clans are the Dragon Clan, the Demon Clan, the Devil Clan, and the Sea Clan . Ever since Senior Ye restored the Sacred Dao World, the genius cultivators there rarely ever come to the Void City . Tell me, do you think the Human Clan cultivator who came here can live well?”
Di Jiu, who was puzzled, asked, “Senior, no matter how plentiful resources are in the Sacred Dao World, they need to come to the Void City to search for a chance to advance, right? Why have very few of them come?”
The yellow-haired woman chuckled . “Because Sacred Emperor Ye established a Teleportation Array in the Sacred Dao World and a new place . That new place is the true Dao cultivation sacred ground . The genius cultivators of the Sacred Dao World will basically go to that new place and not to the Void City . ”
“Where is that place?” Di Jiu subconsciously asked . He could vaguely guess . It should be the place where third-step experts existed, as Xu Xun had mentioned .
