Chapter 742: Where Did She Come From?

“This is a floating Star Continent.” While standing outside the Defense Array of this Star Continent, Ling Xiaoshuang could immediately see that.

A floating Star Continent was not a Star Continent but a Star Continent that abruptly appeared in the void. Once this kind of Star Continent appeared abruptly, it would also abruptly disappear. Therefore, the laws in such a Star Continent were generally incomplete. Even though there were many cultivators in the void, they could only lodge temporarily in this kind of Star Continent or trade some useful things.

The stability of a floating Star Continent was not even as good as the stability of some void cities.

Di Jiu also saw two void array characters floating outside the floating Star Continent: One Way.

“It looks like it’s a locked-up space by a more artistic guy. We will go in later,” Di Jiu said before he got ready to set up array flags.

However, he stopped after setting up a few array flags and his expression turned somewhat ugly.

“What’s wrong?” Ling Xiaoshuang asked in confusion when she saw the change in Di Jiu’s expression.

Di Jiu replied with a sigh, “What a crafty woman… She escaped.”

“How did you know?” Ling Xiaoshuang looked at Di Jiu, who had not entered the One Way Star Continent yet. In that case, how could he know that the woman had escaped? Plus, this Star Continent was guarded by a Defense Array. Even though it was a floating Star Continent, she had to leave through the entrance of the Defense Array.

Di Jiu hit his head in annoyance. “I’m to blame for being too careless. I just wanted to confine the other party with a Confinement Array, but I didn’t realize that they had set up a Void Surveillance Array Disc here…”

While talking, Di Jiu raised his hand and grabbed a simple array disc from the void. He was used to using Dharma Arrays and had not expected this woman to also like them.

Ling Xiaoshuang looked at this array disc blankly. The array disc was obviously not a low-level item but something made a few years ago. Its level was not low either. Because this array disc was hidden in the void, neither she nor Di Jiu had found it.

“It’s still a level-seven divine array disc. This is indeed good stuff.” Di Jiu looked at the simple array disc in his hand and sighed again.

Ling Xiaoshuang then understood that the other party should have found out that she and Di Jiu had been following her through this array disc. Since she had probably realized that Di Jiu could chase her to this place without a warning, the woman was terrified. Thus, she could only sigh. “I really didn’t expect this woman to be able to set up another array disc calmly and enter the Defense Array of the Star Continent.”

This experience was at least much better than that of Ling Xiaoshuang.

Di Jiu shook his head. “Under my Spiritual Force, she still cannot set up the array disc before going in. She set up this array disc long ago, so this should be a place she visits often. She most likely came here to see if anyone was following her. I didn’t expect to be fooled.”

Ling Xiaoshuang knew that this could not be blamed on Di Jiu. Even if a third-step almighty came, he would not necessarily know. It was remarkable that Di Jiu had discovered the problem immediately and grabbed the hidden array disc.

 
“Can you still detect her whereabouts?” Ling Xiaoshuang asked.

“I can’t,” Di Jiu answered helplessly. “I must have scared the woman. Maybe when she saw me follow her here, she activated a precious Plane Split Talisman and left this realm.”

Ling Xiaoshuang was also speechless when she heard that the other party had activated a Plane Split Talisman. Naturally, she was aware of how precious a Plane Split Talisman was, as it was hard to obtain. Each of them had been preserved from ancient times. No one had heard of anyone who could refine a Plane Split Talisman. Since the other party had escaped using the Plane Split Talisman, it would be strange if Di Jiu could catch up.

“What do we do now?” Ling Xiaoshuang asked.

“Let’s go in and ask the owner of this floating Star Continent about her. This woman comes here often, so maybe he knows her.” Then, Di Jiu stepped through the entrance of the array door.

At the entrance of the array door were two Dao Birth cultivators that were guarding it. Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshuang each paid 10,000 high-grade divine crystals before they entered the Defense Array.

This floating Star Continent was not very large, but there were many cultivators inside. Despite the various kinds of isolation restrictions, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force detected nearly one million people.

No matter how small the Star Continent was, it was still a Star Continent. A million people seemed like a lot, but when they were all over this Star Continent, they seemed sparsely scattered.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force scanned directly a huge building in the middle of the Star Continent. Outside this huge building, three characters were suspended: One Way Hall. This should be the cave abode of the Star Continent’s owner.

In the guest area of the One Way Hall, a middle-aged man’s movements seemed a little frozen. He stared blankly at the void before him, totally unable to understand why Feng Yu’er would use the Plane Split Talisman here.

Not only had she used it without a reason, but she had also been very disrespectful.

A Plane Split Talisman was a priceless treasure. Forget it! He did not want to think about that.

Tu Zhong was a mid-stage Dao Integration expert after all. Feng Yu’er’s approach was simply too much. Regardless of the reason, he would never allow someone like Feng Yu’er to come in.

“Feng Yu’er, how dare you use the Plane Split Talisman on the One Way Star Continent? How did I let you down?” The more Tu Zhong thought about it, the angrier he felt. He could not help but yell in anger.

A clear voice suddenly said, “Planet Master Tu, can I have a seat inside?”

“Who are you?” Tu Zhong, who was suddenly woken up, broke out in cold sweat.

The One Way Hall was heavily guarded by the Defense Array and the Trigger Array. He had not even known that someone had arrived outside the door until the other party had spoken. It was clear that this person had broken his Defense Array without a warning.

Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshuang had entered the hall. “Is that woman called Feng Yu’er? I’m chasing her to kill her. I didn’t expect her to hide here.”

Chasing her to kill her? Tu Zhong suddenly realized this and finally understood why Feng Yu’er had escaped with the Plane Split Talisman. She was actually being chased by someone!

Tu Zhong felt kind of horrified. He knew Feng Yu’er’s power better than anyone else. Even though she appeared to be a little girl, that was only a Colossal Degeneration of Dao Integration. Once she got over it, she would have more than a 40% chance of reaching the third step.

 
It was precisely because of Feng Yu’er’s great cultivation prospects that Tu Zhong had made every effort to be friends with this woman. However, he had not expected that someone would be chasing after her to kill her. When Feng Yu’er had left just now, it had been obvious that her strength had more or less been restored. How strong was the person chasing her if she had still escaped under the circumstances?

“Planet Master Tu doesn’t seem very welcoming.” Di Jiu’s voice was cold. He knew that, in the void, strength was respected and those who lacked strength were not.

Nobody would care even if someone with strength flattered them.

After hearing Di Jiu’s words, Tu Zhong came back to his senses and said with cupped fists, “I have yet to welcome the two of you from afar. Please forgive me. Daoists, please sit down quickly.”

While he was talking, Tu Zhong personally invited Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshuang to sit down so he could make tea for them. He could not see through Di Jiu’s cultivation level, but he could see that Ling Xiaoshuang seemed to be at the early-stage Dao Integration.

However, regardless of whether he could sense Di Jiu’s strength, he was not simple. After all, he had let Feng Yu’er escape through the Plane Split Talisman out of fear.

Di Jiu sat down impolitely and said with cupped fists, “Thank you, Planet Master Tu. My name is Di Jiu, and this is my friend Ling Xiaoshuang. The woman who fled previously is addicted to killing. Not long ago, she killed hundreds of thousands of people on a void ship. She was then chased by me to this place.”

Di Jiu paid attention to Tu Zhong’s expression while he spoke. When he mentioned that Feng Yu’er had killed hundreds of thousands of people, there was no change in Tu Zhong’s eyes. Di Jiu knew that at least Tu Zhong knew what kind of person Feng Yu’er was.

He also felt very helpless. In his opinion, killing scum like Feng Yu’er 100 times was not enough. However, it was justified over here.

Tu Jiu’s expression was calm, so Di Jiu could only continue to speak. “I just heard Planet Master Tu mention that this person is called Feng Yu’er. Can Planet Master Tu tell me where she is from?”
