Chapter 730: Di Jiu’s Guess

“That woman is definitely at Dao Integration . She sneaked an attack on me and I fought back in a haste . As a result, a counterattack was caused . My Dao runes stagnated and my Dao foundation degenerated . However, I instantly struck back and inflicted serious injuries on her . Despite that, she still had the ability to kill me . Just when I thought I was definitely going to die and was prepared to plead for reincarnation, the Winter Valley’s Grand Elder Jiu You suddenly passed by and saved me . ” After saying all this, Ling Xiaoshuang sighed .

She was too unlucky . If she had been given another chance, she would at least have been a top-notch Dao Integration expert . Would she have ended up like this?

Di Jiu asked, “Afterward, you followed Jiu You to the Great Ultimate Realm’s Winter Valley?”

Ling Xiaoshuang nodded . “Yes . At the time, Elder Jiu You had also suffered injuries after saving me . He said that my Dao foundation had collapsed, so it would be better for me to recuperate with him in the Winter Valley . Although the Winter Valley might not necessarily allow my injuries to fully recover, it wouldn’t allow them to worsen . ”

“After that woman got injured, she still had very powerful techniques?” Di Jiu asked .

Ling Xiaoshuang shook her head . “I believe that woman’s strength was so-so . In fact, if she had not sneaked an attack on me the instant I’d reached Dao Integration, I definitely could have killed her . Even so, she still suffered serious injuries due to my counterattack . ”

“What about Elder Jiu You’s battle with her?” Di Jiu asked .

Evidently, Ling Xiaoshuang remembered that scene extremely clearly . She immediately answered, “As soon as Jiu You stepped forward, he made a move on her . Due to her injuries, her movements were slower so she suffered injuries again . However, the woman’s technique was very terrifying . She unexpectedly rushed toward Elder Jiu You and used her domain to lock him while self-exploding at the same time . Therefore, Elder Jiu You suffered serious injuries . ”

Di Jiu immediately grasped the problem . “Xiaoshuang, I’ll now ask you a few questions . According to what you said, the woman who sneaked an attack on you was already seriously injured and Jiu You suffered serious injuries due to her self-explosion . Does that mean that she didn’t have a chance to escape at the time? Otherwise, why would she have blown herself up?”

Ling Xiaoshuang froze and then frowned . Back then, Jiu You had been blocking the entrance of the cave abode’s Defense Array and the woman who had attacked her had been seriously injured by her counterattack . However, the other party still had some hope of escaping by using all her might .

“At the time, there was a slim chance of escaping, but she had a chance . ” Ling Xiaoshuang told the truth .

Di Jiu chuckled . “The woman who sneaked an attack on you was apparently trying to take something from you or get your opportunity . Such people have vigorous ambitions, so they would never self-explode casually . I heard you say that the woman fought with Jiu You but she blew herself up after Jiu You sneaked an attack on her . This is not normal . ”

Ling Xiaoshuang froze . She naturally understood what Di Jiu meant . However, she shook her head and said, “That’s impossible . Jiu You was also seriously injured and he forced that woman to blow herself up . ”

She was unwilling to speculate on the bad side of humanity and she did not believe that Jiu You would come with a purpose or even team up with that woman to deal with her . Finally, in order to achieve his goal, he would even have had to kill his partner .

Di Jiu said, “The next problem is that Jiu You said that you would at least not deteriorate in the Winter Valley . In fact, your injury obviously worsened there . ”

Ling Xiaoshuang could only say, “Big Brother Di, Elder Jiu You must really have been sincere about saving me . It was hard for me to survive even in the void . He brought me to the Winter Valley, perhaps because he really wanted to help me . I’m afraid even he didn’t know that my injuries could not recover . I know that there are too many sinister and deceitful cultivators in the universe, but I still believe that there are more beautiful things in this universe . I’ve met many kind and selfless friends who have helped me a lot . ”

She was tactfully telling Di Jiu that although guarding against someone was inevitable, they could not go overboard or they would tire themselves out .

Di Jiu faintly said, “If I were like you, I might have been taken advantage of many times . Not only am I sure that Jiu You had bad intentions for you, but I also know that you have something that he wants, even though I don’t know where you keep it . ”

If this had happened a long time ago, Ling Xiaoshuang would not have continued talking to Di Jiu . However, Ling Xiaoshuang was no longer a naive, innocent young girl .

After pondering this for a while, she looked at Di Jiu and asked seriously, “Big Brother Di, since you said so, you must have an explanation?”

“That’s right,” Di Jiu said . “Do you remember me asking you earlier whether you cultivated here or if you are even sure that you cultivated here?”

“Yes, but I never did,” Ling Xiaoshuang answered doubtfully .

“That’s the problem,” Di Jiu said with a sneer . “I’m extremely sensitive to the Heaven Earth Law . The Heaven Earth Law in the Winter Valley contains a special aura . You’ve never cultivated here, but I sensed this kind of nomological aura in you . ”

In fact, Di Jiu had not sensed any special nomological aura but Foundation Order Dao runes . The Heaven Earth Law in each place was set up by countless Foundation Orders, and the Winter Valley was no exception .

Since Di Jiu cultivated the Nomological Dao, he had an extremely thorough understanding of all sorts of Foundation Orders . As long as he was within it, he could sense this clearly . Because he had sensed the Winter Valley’s Foundation Order Dao runes in Ling Xiaoshuang, he had suspected that she had cultivated here .

Since Ling Xiaoshuang had not cultivated, the only possibility was that before she had gotten injured, she had fought with cultivators from the Winter Valley . Furthermore, the Foundation Order Dao rune aura on her had yet to dissipate .

“Ah…” Ling Xiaoshuang responded in shock and then frowned . If anyone else had said that, she might have thought it was false . He could even sense the aura contained in the Heaven Earth Law? Wasn’t this a bit too nonsensical? However, she did not doubt him, as she subconsciously trusted him .

While Ling Xiaoshuang was thinking about Jiu You’s coincidental appearance Di Jiu said, “Don’t you think that Jiu You’s appearance was too coincidental? If he had come a little later, you might have perished . Not even your Principal Spirit or a hint of your soul would have been left . ”

“But it clearly wasn’t Jiu You who sneaked an attack on me . Could this woman also have been from the Winter Valley? After I came to the Winter Valley, I only heard that there was a Dao Integration expert here called Elder Jiu You,” Ling Xiaoshuang said, feeling even more puzzled . She had been somewhat swayed by his words .

Di Jiu calmly responded, “I can’t be sure now, but after I meet Elder Jiu You, I will confirm right away whether that woman was Jiu You . ”

“What?” Ling Xiaoshuang, who was startled, immediately calmed down . What Di Jiu had said was credible . However, Jiu You was a male cultivator . Even if a male cultivator cloned himself, how could he cultivate into a woman?

Upon seeing Ling Xiaoshuang’s expression, Di Jiu knew that she had guessed what he meant . Thus, he said, “I suspect that Elder Jiu You cultivates a cloning divine power and that woman might be his clone . I’ll say a few things and you’ll confirm it . First, was he especially fast while saving you? Cloning is most proficient in this kind of mutual shifting divine power .

“Second, that woman got seriously injured and self-exploded . After self-exploding, did she leave nothing behind? If that’s the case, that’s right . A self-exploding clone would harm the user . I suspect that Jiu You absorbed all the essence Qi and blood of the Dao runes after his clone self-exploded . Even though he got injured, he would recover after entering seclusion for 10,000 years . If my guess is right, Jiu You should have quickly recovered . If his clone had not self-exploded and been wrapped by the self-explosion of a true Dao Integration cultivator, it would have been fine even if he had not recovered one-fifth, let alone fully . ”

Ling Xiaoshuang took a deep breath . All of a sudden, she somewhat understood why Valley Master Su had hesitated a little when she had asked Valley Master Su to let her leave . Previously, she had not thought of leaving, as she could not have done so even if she’d wanted to .
