nLiang Jueren himself was a Level-Five Array Great-Master. How could he not know what was going on? Someone was using the Strangulation Array to seal the Abstruse Fire Sect.

nThe Abstruse Fire Sect was a six-star sect recognized by the Yalun Continent. Liang Jueren could not think of anyone who would have the guts to set up a Strangulation Array at the entrance of the Abstruse Fire Sect. There was essentially no one in the entire Yalun Continent who would dare to do so, not even the Guild Master of the Star Everlasting Guild.

nThis was exactly why Liang Jueren was so enraged.

n“I would like to see who had the guts to use the confinement array to seal the Abstruse Fire Sect…” Liang Jueren took a step forward and reached the entrance of the sect’s meeting hall.

nThe fact that the sect had been trapped by someone using a killing array angered Sect Master Liang Jueren and all the Elders and Peak Masters in the meeting hall. They all swiftly stood up and followed Liang Jueren to check what was going on.

n“Sect Master…” said an anxious voice as a flustered middle-aged lady rushed over.

nLiang Jueren stared coldly at the middle-aged lady and said frostily, “Speak. If you can’t explain clearly, you need not live any longer.”

nLiang Jueren knew this lady. She was the deacon guarding the sect’s soul lanterns.

nWhen she heard Liang Jueren’s words, the middle-aged lady calmed down, bowed and said, “Sect Master and Elders, the Young Sect Master’s soul lantern dimmed just now. It looks like it is about to be extinguished…”

nLiang Jueren had already disappeared from the entrance before the lady could report that the soul lanterns of Alchemist Master Ge Yi and the two Golden Core Realm Cultivators had been extinguished.

nRight now, he was extremely anxious. Liang Lu was his only son, the very person he placed all his hopes on. Once Liang Lu headed to the Small Central World, he would definitely be able to enter and help his son.

nThe soul lantern of his son, whom he placed such high hopes on, was about to be extinguished. He would go crazy if anything happened to Liang Lu.

nDi Jiu did not possess any top-notch healing elixirs. Fortunately, Di Di was just an ordinary mortal human, so her life-force flourished in a short time.

nDi Jiu did not continue to help her recuperate. When he stood up and waved his hand, the entire place collapsed. Only the wall where Liang Lu was being pinned was still standing erect. His Spiritual Force had already sensed Liang Jueren rushing over. The time for him to take revenge had come.

n“Ah Jiu!” Di Di looked in horror at the various experts flying over. This was the first time she saw people who could really fly. How could they resist when there was only the two of them against these experts, who were capable of flying?

nLiang Jueren landed on the ground. His eyes turned bloodshot when he saw Liang Lu, whose eyes had been dug out and whose body was pinned against the wall as he bled.

nThe first thing he did was not kill Di Jiu. Instead, he rushed over frantically in an attempt to release Liang Lu from that wall.

nHowever, he had only gotten 30 feet from the wall when a powerful killing flare struck out. Liang Jueren was at the second-stage Pioneer Sea Realm, yet he still got flustered as he faced this flare. He retreated more than 10 feet away hastily.

nAfter that short moment of frenzy, Liang Jueren calmed down. He was a Level-Five Array Great-Master himself. Thus, he could already tell that there was a Level-Eight killing array at the wall that his son was pinned against. He would need half a day to break open this Level-Eight killing array considering his capabilities.

nFurthermore, how could a person who had set up a Level-Eight killing array be simple?

nLiang Jueren took a deep breath, looked at Di Jiu and said, “Who are you, Daoist? The Abstruse Fire Sect and I don’t hold any grudges. Was your intention to kill so great that you set up a Level-Eight Strangulation Array outside the Abstruse Fire Sect and tried to kill Abstruse Fire Sect Disciples without restraint? You have also dug out my son’s eyes, pinned him to this wall and left him to bleed. Don’t you think that you’re too malicious?”

nAs he spoke, all the Elders of the Abstruse Fire Sect had already spread out and surrounded Di Jiu.

nThe thought of using a confinement array to trap Di Jiu completely did not cross Liang Jueren’s mind, for Di Jiu was an opponent who could casually set up a Level-Eight Strangulation Array.

nDi Jiu looked peacefully at the crowd surrounding him and the increasing number of cultivators rushing over. In a voice devoid of any warmth, he said, “I am Young Master Di Jiu and I used to live in the Ji Nation’s Pearl City. The Abstruse Fire Sect sent people over to the Pearl City, killed my father and dug out both my elder sister Di Di’s eyes for your son Liang Lu. More than 760 members of the Di Family were killed. You left no survivors. How come you find me vicious? There is a man here called Sang Li. Where is he?”

n“I am here. So, you are the nobody who escaped…” Before Sang Li could finish his speech, he suddenly stopped speaking. He was being strangled by a large hand and lifted off the ground. Meanwhile, his eyes looked ready to pop out. Based on the way he looked now, no one would believe that he was an Essence Soul Realm expert.

nLiang Jueren, who was planning on calling everyone to attack together, drew in a cold breath. Even he did not possess such strength.

nDi Jiu threw Sang Li out. Before Sang Li, who could breathe once again, could do anything, several array flags had already pinned his four limbs.

nHe and Liang Lu were now pinned on the same wall. They looked like two lizards, creating a rather funny picture.

nHowever, no one there found this funny. They all felt cold. They were guessing that Di Jiu’s cultivation level had most likely surpassed the Pioneer Sea Realm.

nSome people believed that the Abstruse Fire Sect had finally gotten itself into huge trouble. This was something one should not do often.

nLiang Jueren, who felt his mouth go dry, took a deep breath and tried his best to speak calmly. “Daoist Di, this is the Abstruse Fire Sect’s fault. You have already taken back your elder sister’s eyes and killed dozens of Abstruse Fire Sect Disciples. As the saying goes, it’s better to make friends than enemies. Could you forgive my son? The Abstruse Fire Sect is willing to compensate you…”

nEven the Sect Master, who was a Pioneer Sea Realm cultivator, gave in. The rest of the Abstruse Fire Sect Cultivators dared not speak.

nWhen Di Jiu opened his palm again, a flame landed on Liang Lu and Sang Li. Then, he said with a sneer, “Did you really think that the Abstruse Fire Sect would still exist after this day?”

n“You must have a death wish…” Di Jiu had actually dared burn his son! Liang Jueren went completely crazy. He immediately took out his Anchor Flame Pagoda and lunged at Di Jiu.

nAll the Abstruse Fire Sect Elders gathered there lunged at Di Jiu as well when they saw the Sect Master do so.

nDi Jiu’s original intention had been to eradicate everyone. Before Liang Jueren’s Anchor Flame Pagoda could sprout layers of flaming mountains, several hundred supreme-grade Spirit Saber Weapons had transformed into a Level-Five Nirvana Metal Saber Array.

nDi Jiu did not need to use his Level-Seven Sky Screen Saber Array against a mere Pioneer Sea Realm cultivator. The rest of his opponents were just Void Spirit Realm Cultivators and Essence Soul Realm cultivators.

nWhen the Level-Five Saber Array was executed, the air was filled with violent saber intent. This was not a saber array transformed from Spiritual Force and Quintessential Essence. This was a physical saber array created from supreme-grade saber weapons.

nThanks to the control of Di Jiu’s level-ten Spiritual Force, the Level-Five Nirvana Metal Saber Array had no weak spots. All the Essence Soul Realm cultivators were killed by the saber waves without any resistance. The Void Spirit Realm Cultivators could at most only block a few saber waves before they suffered the same fate. None of the Abstruse Fire Sect Elders could resist the assault of Di Jiu’s saber array.

nAlthough they were not weak, the saber array Di Jiu had created by using supreme-grade saber weapons was far too formidable.

nA ninth-stage Void Spirit Realm Grand Elder who was being pierced through the neck by a supreme-grade saber weapon screamed, “Liang Jueren, you and your son are the biggest sinners in the Abstruse Fire Sect! Even if both of you die, the ancestors of the Abstruse Fire Sect will not let you off…”

nHe had just finished speaking when a second saber chopped off his head.

nLiang Jueren was terrified. He had guessed that Di Jiu’s strength would be more powerful than his. However, he had not expected that Di Jiu would be so powerful. Logically speaking, Di Jiu was just a mortal who had escaped from the Di Family. How powerful could he possibly be after only a few years?

nAlthough he was still holding on, he knew very well that he would not be able to do so for long. The Anchor Flame Pagoda had already been used to block the continuous saber assaults of the saber array. Hence, he did not have any more time or opportunities to attack Di Jiu.

nThis battle had already ended before it had even started. He and Di Jiu were not on the same level. Besides, Di Jiu had yet to use the red embellished saber he was carrying on his back.

nSuddenly, a saber pierced his forehead. Liang Jueren looked at Liang Lu, who was engulfed by flames and collapsed on the ground unwillingly. He was dead.

nDi Jiu took several rings from the dead. The Abstruse Fire Sect did not have many quality items, but these rings could not go to waste.

n“Jiu, you…” Di Di watched in a daze as Di Jiu put away the several hundreds of supreme-grade sabers.

n“Di Di, an ancestor of the Di Family was a cultivator. That was why you possessed the Sacred Spirit Eyes. You will also have to cultivate in the future. Only when you start cultivating will people stop bullying you.” Di Jiu did not prevent Di Di from watching him kill the various Abstruse Fire Sect Elders.

nDi Di would have to encounter similar situations once she entered the Cultivation World.

nDi Di nodded her head. “I understand. I will cultivate in the future too. Where do we go now, Jiu?”

nDue to the huge changes in circumstances, she momentarily did not notice that Di Jiu had called her Di Di.

n“There is an item here that I need urgently. Let’s leave when I acquire it.” With a wave of his hand, Di Jiu dragged Di Di along as he rushed towards a mountain that exuded strong heat waves.

nWhen they reached the foot of the mountain, Di Jiu threw out a bunch of array flags. As he did, the mountain split into two and a terrifying flame shot towards the skies. When Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force landed on it, he saw a 1,000-feet-long Earth Fire Vein. Although Di Jiu knew all about Earth Fire Veins, this was the first time he was seeing an Earth Fire Vein of such a high grade. A mere six-star sect in the Small Central World would not be able to keep such an Earth Fire Vein.

nDi Jiu took out his Dao fire and rushed towards the 1,000-feet-long Earth Fire Vein. Before the black Luminous Starry Sky could land on the Earth Fire Vein, the boundless flames were frantically absorbed by the Luminous Starry Sky.

nThe aura of the Dao fire and the Luminous Starry Sky soared and the color of the flame turned even darker.

nIn just five minutes, Di Jiu’s Dao fire advanced from Level Seven to Level Eight. Di Jiu, who could feel the surrounding space become extremely unstable, was certain that this anomaly was created by the Dao fire. The Dao fire had absorbed the Earth Fire Vein, causing space to become unstable.

nJust as Di Jiu was about to retreat, the newly-upgraded Level-Eight Dao fire suddenly engulfed the remaining Earth Fire Vein.

nBoom! When the Earth Fire Vein was gone, the lava below could no longer be controlled and rushed up frantically. With a wave of his hand, Di Jiu pulled back the Dao fire and rushed out of the Abstruse Fire Sect. The Earth Fire Lava behind him, which had already spread out nearly 1,000 feet, continued spreading.
