“Senior Sister Xitan, what does this old bark want to steal from you?” Di Jiu asked Tang Xitan as he pinched Xiang Mu’s neck.

“Tang Beiwei greets you, Senior Brother Di. This person wants to snatch the Nirvana Tree fragment I bought at the auction for a high price.” Tang Beiwei spoke hurriedly. She had heard Tang Xitan mention Di Jiu.

Now that Di Jiu was here, he was incomparably powerful. As he stood before her, he reminded her of her elder brother. They were the same type of person. Tang Beiwei was sure she had not misjudged him.

Xiang Mu knew that he could not survive by relying on himself now. He quickly looked at Ao Kui and Ji Lie before shouting shrewdly, “Daoist Ji, Daoist Ao, please assist me! I’m a member of the Hundred Clan Conference! This person also wrecked many things of the Dragon Clan…”

Xiang Mu was very aware of Di Jiu’s strength. Even though Di Jiu had easily restrained him, that was because he relied too much on his own domain and had been hit by Di Jiu when he had least expected it. If four or five late-stage Primordial Chaos experts teamed up against Di Jiu, he would not meet a good end. Even if they could not kill him, they would still seriously injure him and he would flee from danger.

Given Ao Kui’s summoning ability, it should be easy for four or five late-stage Primordial Chaos experts to respond to him and team up to deal with Di Jiu.

Ao Kui’s face turned very ugly. After living for so many years, how could he not see that as long as he joined forces with the remaining Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors of the Dragon Clan and Ji Lie, they would very likely be able to seriously injure Di Jiu? But what would be the point of this? He was certain that he could not make an expert like Di Jiu stay.

If he could not make Di Jiu stay, injuring him seriously would be harming the entire Dragon Clan. How could Ao Kui do such a thing?

“Daoist Di, please show mercy. Xiang Mu is the Clan Leader of the Heavenly Purification Clan. Our realm is now facing a crisis…”

Before Ji Lie could finish, he saw a bloody mist explode. Xiang Mu, who was being pinched by Di Jiu, turned into nothing.

Ji Lie was furious. Unfortunately, he really dared not make a move on Di Jiu. If Ao Kui stepped forward to take the lead, he would be the first to step forward and pull one or two Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors to team up and besiege Di Jiu. Although Di Jiu had even destroyed the Dragon Clan’s hall now and Xiang Mu had mentioned this, Ao Kui’s expression turned ugly even though he had no intention of making a move.

“It’s your turn.” As Di Jiu walked toward Ji Lie, his domain surged and locked Ji Lie’s space.

“Daoist Di, please listen to me.” Ao Kui finally could not help but step forward. A mid-stage Primordial Chaos expert and an early-stage Primordial Chaos expert stood on both sides of him.

Ji Lie was overjoyed, so he immediately stepped forward to stand with Ao Kui before he yelled sternly, “I don’t care who you are! Our realm is facing a life-or-death situation, yet you actually dare kill the experts here and cripple our strength? Even if I pretend not to see, Clan Leader Ao Kui and many Clan Leaders of the other clans will not let this go.”

Ji Lie scanned the place and saw two mid-stage Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors subconsciously approach him.

Di Jiu frowned slightly. If five or six Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors besieged him at the same time, things would not be favorable for him.

Tang Xitan stood beside Di Jiu immediately and Tang Beiwei stepped forward without hesitation. A Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor who was on good terms with the Phoenix Clan also subconsciously approached Di Jiu.

Upon seeing that things were far from good and the Demon Clan’s Fan Yuan and the Sea Clan’s Ma Jujia did not have any intention of moving, Ao Kui hurriedly said in a clear voice, “Everyone, please calm down. We are here to discuss dealing with the infiltration of external enemies together. We are not having a fight.”

Ji Lie frowned slightly. If Di Jiu had been alone, he would not have been afraid. Now, there were only six people on their side and four on Di Jiu’s side. If they started fighting, given Di Jiu’s strength, they would undoubtedly be defeated. What’s more, once they started to fight, who knew who the others would help?

“Clan Leader Ao is right. Brother Ji, Daoist Di, we are dealing with external enemies together this time, so we should not fight internally.” Upon seeing that he could not afford to fight, Fan Yuan took the initiative to step forward and be a good person.

Di Jiu pointed at Ji Lie and asked him faintly, “Who is he?”

It was the fellow who had just teamed up with old bark to bully Tang Xitan. Even if Di Jiu could not kill him now, he would not let him off when he went out.

“He’s the Devil Clan’s Ji Lie.” Tang Xitan hurriedly explained.

Ji Lie? Di Jiu laughed. He looked at Ji Lie and told him, “You teamed up with Xiang Mu just now to restrain my friend, but I killed Xiang Mu. If you don’t provide an explanation, I will not let you off today.”

If it had been someone else, Di Jiu would definitely have stopped provoking him. This clearly did not show respect to the Dragon Clan. He was completely offending them. However, Ji Lie had the Luminous Core, so Di Jiu could not let this go just like this.

Indeed, Ao Kui’s expression changed.

Even Fan Yuan also looked at Di Jiu in surprise. What did he mean? Could he have guessed wrongly? Did Di Jiu really have the guts to continue making a move?

“Brother Di…” Tang Xitan could not help but call for Di Jiu. It was definitely not a good idea to make a move now, and she did not understand what Di Jiu meant.

Ao Kui said calmly, “Daoist Di, although your friend was suppressed by Xiang Mu’s domain, you broke countless restrictions of the Dragon Clan here and also ruined the discussion hall. I still didn’t say anything. I did not treat this matter with justice and I indeed allowed Xiang Mu to suppress your friend in our territory.

Since Xiang Mu was killed by you, I didn’t pursue the earlier issues. It is reasonable to say that you’ve stood up for your friend. If you still want to make a move, I have to tell you that although the Dragon Clan is not strong, it has survived here for countless years and we will not be bullied by anyone.”

While he was speaking, Ao Kui’s perfected Primordial Chaos domain frantically spread out and a vast dragon prestige aura filled this space. In an instant, Di Jiu could feel his domain weaken and he could not even carry on.

So powerful! Di Jiu, who was shocked, realized how formidable a true perfected Primordial Chaos expert was. Compared to Ao Kui before him, Xiang Mu, who he had killed, had been nothing.

Di Jiu cupped his fists before Ao Kui. “Clan Leader Ao, I accidentally wrecked the Dragon Clan’s palace previously. I apologize for that and agree to compensate you. However, Ji Lie made a move on my friend, so I can’t just leave it that way. I can allow Ji Lie to leave the Dragon Clan. We’ll just go outside to solve the problem.”

As soon as Ao Kui demonstrated his strength, Di Jiu understood that if he wanted to deal with Ji Lie, he definitely could not offend Ao Kui. His current strength was still not enough.

Upon hearing Di Jiu’s words, Ao Kui was relieved. He knew very well that Di Jiu had intentionally broken the Dragon Clan’s palace and restrictions. It had not been accidental. Now, Di Jiu had offered an apology and said that he was willing to compensate them. He was giving face to the Dragon Clan. Unless it was a last resort, he would definitely not want to offend Di Jiu.

Di Jiu reminded him of someone. He reminded him of the Human Clan’s Ye Mo, who had also been at the Primordial Dao Realm back then and had suppressed Wen Deshui in the Dragon Clan. Wen Deshui was incomparable to Xiang Mu, and one could say that even a few Xiang Mus would not be anything for him. Di Jiu had just pinched Xiang Mu to death, just like Ye Mo had done at the time. Both of them were experts from the Human Clan.

The reason that he did not dare cut off his means of retreat was because he knew that Ye Mo had killed the five late-stage Primordial Chaos cultivators, who had teamed up. At the time, Ye Mo had also been a Primordial Dao Realm cultivator.

If he offended such an expert, the Dragon Clan would not benefit in any way. Worst-case scenario, he would even cause his clan to be exterminated.

“Since Daoist Di said so, if I insisted, it would seem like the Dragon Clan is petty.” Without hesitation, Ao Kui did what Di Jiu said. With his respect, some losses on the surface would not be considered much.

Di Jiu turned to Ji Lie and told him faintly, “Now, it’s our turn to settle the score. When you dealt with my friend, did you think that there was nobody in the Human Clan?”

Ji Lie gasped and slowly responded, “What are you going to do?”

He was really scared. Ao Kui evidently did not want to stand up for him. If he was facing this powerful Human Clan cultivator alone, he was afraid everything would lead to disaster.
