In Zhong You’s opinion, he could withdraw the River and Mountain Kettle in time and use it to tear the space to escape.

However, when Zhong You did not manage to withdraw the River and Mountain Kettle for the first time, his heart sank. Before he burned his blood to forcibly withdraw the River and Mountain Kettle, he heard an explosion.

The River and Mountain Kettle and Di Jiu’s Void Mountain clashed together. The space surged in the fluctuation of Dao runes which tore the entire guest hall into scraps.

Many cultivators in the guest hall took steps back frantically and rushed out of the place.

A deathly aura swept over. Disregarding the River and Mountain Kettle, Zhong You burned his lifespan and escaped.

“Pfft!” A bloody mist exploded and the Heavenly Aqua Saber broke Zhong You’s legs into pieces. Using this chance, Zhong You rushed out.

Bam! An invisible barrier struck on Zhong You’s body, causing him to fall form the void with a pale face and soulless eyes.

“You can actually set up the Confinement Array silently…”arrange the sleepy array silently …” Despair flashed in Zhong You’s heart. He knew that if Di Jiu would not let him go today, he would never get away.

Di Jiu was relieved. He was most worried about what this guy could do and suddenly escape. Fortunately, he had set up the Confinement Killing Divine Array in advance, blocking Zhong You who wanted to escape.

At this moment, the guest hall of the Limitless Palace was blasted into pieces. Many cultivators who did not like causing trouble left quietly, but more cultivators had stayed behind.

Many of them could vaguely sense that the structure of the Dao World was likely to change significantly. The Three Major Hidden Sects that were high above the masses were likely to all crumble today.

Likewise, upon hearing Zhong You’s words, Fu Buwen, who was ready to escape, paused in his steps and his face turned pale as well.

Di Jiu had set up the Confinement Array without anyone knowing. If even Zhong You could not escape, he didn’t think he could either. As far as escaping was concerned, he was definitely not better than Zhong You.

After Di Jiu put away the Void Mountain, he took out a few more array flags and swept up Zhong You’s River and Mountain Kettle, bringing it into the Ninth World.

Zhong You was stunned. That was the River and Mountain Kettle, a Connate treasure. If it was not refined, nobody could take it away because nothing could contain it.

Di Jiu only used a few array flags to take away the River and Mountain Kettle. Evidently, Di Jiu had a more powerful treasure than the River and Mountain Kettle which definitely was not the Yin-Yang Taijitu.

Zhong You and the other people understood this principle. However, understanding was one matter. With Di Jiu’s strength, one would be courting death to covet Di Jiu’s things.

“Tell me. Where is my friend Zhong Ao?” Di Jiu walked towards Zhong You. He did not kill Zhong You because he wanted to know where Zhong Ao was.

Zhong You smiled in distress. “I’m a powerful lord of the Dao World after all. Not long ago, I attained the Dao Integration Realm. Heh heh… I’m not even your match…”

When he finished his sentence, Zhong You had already turned into endless Dao runes disintegrating into the void.

Di Jiu stopped as he had no way either. He couldn’t do anything if Zhong You wanted to perish his physical body and Principal Spirit. In the end, he still didn’t know where Zhong Ao was.

“Daoist Di, I admit that I’m far inferior to you. Please spare me this once. I’ll generously reward you.” Fu Buwen saw that Di Jiu had gotten rid of Zhong You, who had killed himself. When Fu Buwen recalled that he was also not Di Jiu’s match, his heart turned ice-cold. Now was not the time to be caring about his dignity, but whether Di Jiu could spare his life.

As long as Di Jiu spared his life, he would rather lower his status. If he managed to get past this day, he would leave the Dao World and look for the Patriarch, Palatial Lord Limitless. After he reached the third step, he would come back again to look for this place.

Di Jiu shot a cold glance at Fu Buwen. This person, who did not have the River and Mountain Kettle, could even attain the Dao Integration Realm in the Dao World. He was considered someone with an outstanding gift. However, Lan Ru had saved him and had a good character. Since Fu Buwen had wanted to kill Lan Ru, he wouldn’t let him off so easily.

“Big Brother Di…” Zhen Man called Di Jiu in a cringing manner with a face full of horror.

Her eyes pierced by the Nirvana Extinguishing Mirror had recovered, but these eyes no longer had any spirituality just like ordinary people. Obviously, it was just an ordinary recovery. It was impossible for this pair of eyes to completely recover without a top-notch priceless treasure.

Di Jiu knew that as long as he took out one drop of Quintessential Essence of the Universe, Zhen Man’s eyes would be as good as before and even more perfect than before.

Di Jiu glanced at Zhen Man and said faintly, “It’s not wrong for someone to go higher, but if one only knows about getting to a higher place and forgets about gratitude and loyalty, that person is only a walking corpse no matter how high he reaches. Even if he reached the highest point, he cannot feel the scenery there.”

Horrified, Zhen Man lowered her head not because she had understood what Di Jiu had said, but because she was worried that Lan Ru would kill her.

When Lan Ru saw what Di Jiu had said to Zhen Man, she knew that Zhen Man had lied to her. Zhen Man had told her that she only came from the same realm as Di Jiu and had met him before. Now it seemed that this was certainly not the case.

“Senior Brother Di, thank you for saving me.” Knowing that Di Jiu was far stronger than her and her father, Lan Ru did not dare to casually call his name.

Di Jiu waved his hand. “These are small matters. Without your magnanimity back then, I wouldn’t have survived.”

It was indeed Lan Ru’s magnanimity at that time. Nobody would not have wasted time to deliberately send some mortals to a planet with humans. Most of the cultivators would have just killed them, but not Lan Ru. She had specially sent these people, who had put themselves to the test in the Fairy Planet, to a planet with humans. Based on just this point, Di Jiu was extremely grateful.

“Ha ha… Brother Di, I knew it would be like this.” Kuang Yiren laughed and once again came over.

Wu Qianxiong in the distance was as pale as ever. He was obviously familiar with Di Jiu and had worked together with him. Because he was afraid of Fu Buwen, he didn’t even go over to Di Jiu. Now, he knew that Fu Buwen, who was a Dao Integration cultivator, was a nobody before Di Jiu.

At this time, Kuang Yiren came forward and talked to Di Jiu. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he could not interrupt them. He then knew that Kuang Yiren had concealed such an ability under his arrogant appearance. He suddenly had some speculations on whether Kuang Yiren had any plans to give him the position of the Union Master.

Di Jiu told Kuang Yiren, ” Brother Kuang, I only hoped that you could do me a favor at that time. I didn’t expect you to be so big-hearted. I’ll be friends with a person like you. You seemed to have something to say to me before. You can tell me now that there is no more disruption.”

Previously, Kuang Yiren had something to tell Di Jiu, but couldn’t do so because of Fu Buwen.

Upon hearing that Di Jiu had treated him as a friend, he said excitedly, “Brother Di, it is my honor to make a friend like you. What I want to say is that when Brother Di left at that time, I had been paying attention to the wormhole. A woman came to the wormhole a hundred years ago and she inquired about Brother Di. After I heard that, I hurried over to the wormhole, took her out of the wormhole, and gave her some cultivating resources.

However, you weren’t there at that time and she didn’t want to tell me how she was related to you. Thus, I could only leave her a communication pearl so that she can come to me for help if there was any situation or when I found news of Brother Di, I will tell her immediately.”

Di Jiu was immediately moved and asked, “Oh, what is her name?”

“Nong Xiuqi,” Kuang Yiren quickly answered.

After Fu Buwen heard of Nong Xiuqi’s name in the distance, his heart tightened and he hurriedly lowered his head. His inner fear made him want to escape immediately. It was no wonder that Nong Xiuqi was so heaven-defying. She was actually related to Di Jiu, who was even more heaven-defying. He had really gotten himself into trouble this time. His mind was going crazy, trying to find a way to survive.
