Ninth in The World - Chapter 275

Chapter 275: 275

When he reached Huan Mingzi’s cave abode, Di Jiu saw outside a long-bearded man who was a seventh-stage True Form cultivator . Just as he started to suspect that this was the man that had been sent by Cheng Ji to block Huan Mingzi, the seventh-stage True Form cultivator looked at Di Jiu in shock and asked, “How did you manage to turn up here?”

“Scram! You are not needed to guard the door anymore . ” Di Jiu, who was sure that his guess was right, was naturally impolite to him .

If he didn’t have some capabilities himself, then letting this man block Huan Mingzi would be akin to letting Cheng Ji kill him .

“You…” Although the True Form cultivator flew into a rage, his anger dissipated after just that one word . Cheng Ji was a sect master, so there was no need to lie to him . This meant that Cheng Ji had seen Di Jiu . However, the fact that Di Jiu was still safe and sound meant that something had happened between them . Before he clarified this, he wouldn’t casually attack Di Jiu .

When he realized that this man had no intention to strike, Di Jiu ignored him and entered Huan Mingzi’s cave abode .

Huan Mingzi obviously knew that Di Jiu was coming and opened the restriction on the cave abode straightaway .

“You are indeed fine . ” Huan Mingzi laughed when he saw that Di Jiu was safe and sound . His tone was extremely excited .

After listening to Geng Ji, he had immediately gone to look for Di Jiu . In the end, when Geng Ji had told him that Di Jiu had killed Huang Chuanlun from the Ax Overlord Palace with a single saber move, he had stopped thinking of looking for Di Jiu .

Firstly, he knew that there was an elder waiting for him outside the Prophecy Pavilion . Although he had parted ways with the Prophecy Pavilion, their entanglement hadn’t ended . Secondly, if Di Jiu could kill Huang Chuanlun with one saber move, he would have the ability to escape from Cheng Ji .

“Di Jiu, how could you still be fine? Cheng Ji is the unreasonable kind . ” Xian Ze, who wasn’t as unworried about Di Jiu as Huan Mingzi, was anxious . If Huan Mingzi hadn’t told him that Di Jiu was capable of handling this and that it would be worse if he went, he would have rushed to help long ago .

“Sect Master Cheng was still sensible . I reasoned with him and he realized that he was in the wrong . He was even willing to give me a little help . I thought that all of us are ill-fated cultivators, so I wasn’t too calculative . ”

Xian Ze looked at Di Jiu with his mouth wide open . He didn’t believe him in his heart . Cheng Ji was an unreasonable, merciless man . He had almost fallen into Cheng Ji’s hands when he had been in the Polar Night Continent in the past .

“Di Jiu, are you confident?” Huan Mingzi asked Di Jiu with no rhyme or reason .

Di Jiu, who knew what Huan Mingzi meant, nodded . “As long as there are no late-stage True Form experts or Domain Realm experts, I believe I can make the top three . ”

“Good!” Huan Mingzi slammed his hand on the tea table . He was so excited that a golden light shone in his eyes .

“Senior Huan Mingzi, there are still a few years until the True Dominion Genius Tournament . I plan to visit the Reed Island after tonight’s auction ends . When I return from the Reed Island, I will help Junior Sister Moshuang rebuild the Galaxy Sect . ” Di Jiu had been planning on going to the Five Continent Dao Pagoda after he returned from the Reed Island .

However, there were still a few more years until the Five Continent Dao Pagoda opened up . Thus, Di Jiu believed that he could make use of the Golden Dao Law in his Spiritual Sea to try to see if he could enter .

He had attained the True Form Realm and had a faint idea about the Law of Heaven-Earth Dao Runes . The Golden Dao Law had most likely stayed in his Spiritual Sea because he had the Small Gray Stone . Thus, the Golden Dao Law had chosen to stay on the Small Gray Stone . The Small Gray Stone wanted to stay by his side, which was what had caused this strange scenario .

Di Jiu couldn’t find any information on what the Small Gray Stone was in the Book of the World .

Since the Golden Dao Law was only staying in his Spiritual Sea temporarily, he had better make use of it fast . If the Golden Dao Law left him suddenly one of these days, he would regret not having used it more .

Huan Mingzi nodded . “That is okay too . Anyway, I have left the Prophecy Pavilion, so I can stay in the Galaxy Sect that you will be rebuilding for the time being . I don’t have anything great, but I do have a high-grade spirit meridian . ”

“Me too! I will also be staying in the Galaxy Sect,” said Xian Ze .

Di Jiu was exhilarated . Just as he was about to say that he didn’t need the spirit meridian, he saw Huan Mingzi’s face change . The restriction on the cave abode was immediately torn up .

Bam! Bam! Two shadows were thrown in . Behind the shadows was a plump man .

Huan Mingzi stood up suddenly . He stared coldly at the plump man and said, “Who are you? Although I am no expert, nobody can tear up my cave abode restriction at will!”

On the Small Central Planet’s square, most sect restrictions were just symbolic . Nobody would set up a top-notch Defense Array and restriction there . After all, nobody would fight there, and most people would leave after at most one night . The simpler the restriction, the better the tolerance . Even the Ax Overlord Palace that Di Jiu had visited had only had a noise isolation restriction .

Di Jiu didn’t speak . He just rushed over and helped up the two cultivators who had been thrown in by the plump man . These two men were his friends Fu Che and Bei Shitao . After staying 10 years on the Small World Planet, Fu Che and Bei Shitao had attained the Void Spirit Realm . It looked like they had gained quite a lot on the Small World Planet .

“We will speak later . ” After Di Jiu signaled at Fu Che, his gaze landed on the fatso who had thrown Fu Che and Bei Shitao in .

This man was a fifth-stage True Form expert . Di Jiu could feel that he wasn’t any weaker than Cheng Ji, who was a sixth-stage True Form expert . He couldn’t understand . How could a mere fifth-stage True Form expert dare tear up the restriction on Huan Mingzi’s cave abode?

Soon, Di Jiu’s expression changed slightly—he had realized who the man was . This fatso, who definitely came from the True Dominion, had been sent by the Interstellar Protectorate Lord . He hadn’t come looking for trouble . Instead, he was looking for Geng Ji .

Huan Mingzi would definitely know this fatso if he was a True Form expert from the Small Central World or the Five Big Worlds . He would only not know him if he was a True Form expert from the True Dominion .

“Ha ha ha ha…” The plump cultivator laughed boisterously . As he laughed, the fat on his chin rippled .

The anger Huan Mingzi was feeling gradually disappeared . He had vaguely guessed where this fatso came from . He knew all the fifth-stage True Form experts from the Five Continents, except the True Form cultivators from the True Dominion .

The plump cultivator toned down his laughter . There was killing intent on his face as he asked, “Who is Geng Ji?”

He obviously already knew who Geng Ji was . As he asked this question, his killing aura loomed over Geng Ji .

“That’s me . ” Geng Ji stepped forward . Although he felt uneasy, he wasn’t too afraid . When Brother Jiu and he had still been Foundation Establishment cultivators, they had already provoked Golden Core experts . What did he have to be afraid of now?

“Not bad, you are already at the fourth-stage Life Tribulation Realm . No wonder you could kill Bai Wufang . Although Bai Wufang was a bastard, he was still the son of the Interstellar Protectorate Lord . I have never seen someone as bold as you that dared kill the son of a Protectorate Lord . Your guts must be way bigger than a bear’s…”

Huan Mingzi’s heart skipped a beat . He hadn’t expected that Geng Ji would have done something so wrong . Initially, when he hadn’t been aware of Di Jiu’s strength, he had planned on focusing on training Geng Ji . Now that Geng Ji had killed the son of a Protectorate Lord, even a bastard son, he definitely wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences . Even Huan Mingzi would not have been able to bear the consequences, much less Geng Ji .

Xian Ze didn’t look good either . He was also aware of what a big mistake Geng Ji had made .

“I will answer for what I did . I will leave with you . ” Geng Ji was not a scheming person, neither was he someone who couldn’t tell how serious a matter was . When he saw the look on Huan Mingzi and Xian Ze’s faces, he realized that killing Bai Wufang was indeed no joke .

The plump cultivator giggled . “Can you shoulder the consequences? I heard that you have a Big Brother . Since he is your Big Brother, he should come along with me . I am the deacon . ”

Geng Ji knew that Di Jiu would definitely not allow him to bear the consequences by himself .

Di Jiu naturally wouldn’t let Geng Ji leave with this plump cultivator . Thus, he stepped out, cupped his fists and said, “Do you mean that, although I had nothing to do with this, the Interstellar Protectorate still wants to get me in trouble?”

“Ha ha! Yes, we want to blame you . What can you do?” As the plump cultivator spoke, he opened his hands and slapped Di Jiu . However, his focus was not on Di Jiu . Instead, he stared at Huan Mingzi and said, “If you dare interfere, the Prophecy Pavilion will sever all ties with you . ”

Huan Mingzi, who had been feeling concerned, sighed silently when he heard this . It looked like they could no longer take part in the True Dominion Tournament . He could only try to save Di Jiu and leave this place with him .

Luckily, Geng Ji had killed the bastard son of the Interstellar Protectorate . If he had killed his legitimate son, there would have been no place for him to hide in the Five Continents .

Di Jiu didn’t even move as he blasted a fist forward . “You are shameless, old man!”

Boom! As Di Jiu’s fist and the plump cultivator’s hand clashed, ferocious Quintessential Essence exploded .

Huan Mingzi watched with admiration . Di Jiu was so powerful! He quickly extended his domain and helped the others block off the scary ripples of the Quintessential Essence .

Bam! The weak slap of the plump cultivator was broken by Di Jiu’s fist . Then, his domain was crushed easily and the fist blasted against his chest .

Blood shot out like an arrow from the plump cultivator, while his entire body was flung through the torn portion of the restriction .

Di Jiu took a step out and landed in front of the plump cultivator . “I only used 30 percent of my force . If you dare strike again, don’t blame me for killing you . Scram! Go back and tell your Protectorate Lord that my brother Geng Ji will be exactly 200 years old when the True Dominion Genius Tournament starts . I will be bringing Geng Ji to take part in the True Dominion Genius Tournament . If he wishes to prevent my brother from taking part in the tournament by using such means, don’t blame me for spreading the news . ”

Although killing this plump cultivator wouldn’t have required much effort from Di Jiu, he didn’t dare to . If he didn’t kill this plump cultivator, the Interstellar Protectorate Lord would most likely not tackle him himself . However, if he killed this cultivator, he would have to face the Protectorate Lord next .

Di Jiu had convinced himself that the Interstellar Protectorate Lord had attacked him because he didn’t want Geng Ji to take part in the True Dominion Genius Tournament . A Protectorate Lord had to have some dignity . If people heard that he had sneaked an attack on a genius who was going to join the True Dominion Genius Tournament, his reputation would take a hit .

Di Jiu didn’t dare say that he was going to join the True Dominion Genius Tournament . Although he was younger than Geng Ji, the others didn’t know . Geng Ji would be exactly 200 years old when the True Dominion Genius Tournament started . He was Geng Ji’s Big Brother, which meant that he would be more than 200 years old . There was no need to worry about him participating in the True Dominion Genius Tournament .

Even though it would be easy to check his age, Di Jiu gambled on the notion that the Protectorate Lord would be too confident to check . If this Protectorate Lord had not been overconfident, he wouldn’t have sent a fifth-stage True Form fatso to handle this matter .
