Ninth In the World

When Mo Dailing saw Yu Qianxi return, her heart sank. She knew that this was bad.

Yu Qianxi immediately saw her Master. Apart from that, she also saw that the sect’s Foreign Affairs Elder and the Sect Master were present.

What day was it? Could her Master and the Sect Master know that she had obtained a huge amount of Dao fruits? Yu Qianxi did not dare waste a breath in the Vast Ruins. Thus, she came back as fast as she could.

Something was not right. The man in brown was…

Yu Qianxi very soon recognized who he was and broke out in cold sweat. She hurriedly put away the flying boat, bowed and said, “Yu Qianxi greets the Sect Master, the Master, all the Elders, and Hall Master Jiang.”

Jiang Dai looked at Yu Qianxi and nodded. “Not bad, not bad. No wonder you’re called the top beauty of the Dao World.”

Even though Yu Qianxi was wearing a veil, Jiang Dai could see through it without even using his Spiritual Force.

Mo Dailing hurriedly said, “Qianxi, Hall Master Jiang wants to ask you a few questions. Quickly, answer him and then help your Master with something…”

Before Yu Qianxi could answer, Jiang Dai gestured with his hands. “Fairy Yu…”

Yu Qianxi promptly replied in fear, “Just calling me by my name will do. I dare not accept being called a Fairy.”

Yu Qianxi was aware of Jiang Dai’s character. In the past, hadn’t the Azure Sacred Elixir Sect been exterminated by this person? He had done this just because of a female disciple called Nie Jin.

Jiang Dai still said with a smile, “If I say you can, then you can.”

Yu Qianxi did not dare answer. He gave off an insatiable bloodlust, and she was sure that he had come to ask about Di Jiu. The only thing she was puzzled about was how Jiang Dai had discovered that she had been with Di Jiu.

“Is Di Jiu still in the Vast Ruins?” Jiang Dai abruptly asked while Yu Qianxi was still thinking about this.

“Ah…” His manner had caught Yu Qianxi somewhat unprepared. She almost answered ‘yes’ but she fortunately came back to her senses in time. She promptly answered, “Is Senior asking about the First Evolution Dao Sect’s Senior Brother Di Jiu?”

“That’s right. I’m talking about him.” Jiang Dai had already gotten an answer from Yu Qianxi’s tone and eyes.

However, Yu Qianxi did not dare admit she had been with Di Jiu. If she did, she would be harming him. Even though she did not know why Jiang Dai was searching for Di Jiu, she was sure that if Di Jiu was captured by Jiang Dai, he would not even have a chance to be reincarnated.

“I met Di Jiu at the Dao Ridge. At the time, one of his beast companions had flown outside of the Body-Tempering Lake…”

Before Yu Qianxi could finish, Jiang Dai gestured with his hands. “You don’t have to tell me this. I know about it. You just need to tell me why Di Jiu and you went to the Vast Ruins.”

He had discovered that Yu Qianxi had met Di Jiu by the Colossal Kun Sacred Dao Sect’s Body-Tempering Lake. After the Body-Tempering Lake had been used up and the other cultivators had left, only Yu Qianxi and Di Jiu had been left behind.

After Yu Qianxi had come out of the Dao Ridge, she had waited at the Green Li Sacred Dao City for one or two months for an unfamiliar cultivator. Then, the two of them had gone to the Dao Ridge together.

This was such a distinct clue that if Jiang Dai still could not guess based on it, he was not fit to have such a huge prestige.

Yu Qianxi’s heart sank, yet she still said, “I only went to the Vast Ruins with a friend, not with Di Jiu…”

Before Yu Qianxi could finish, Jiang Dai waved his hands and she could not say anything else.

Jiang Dai still faintly replied, “Tell me the whereabouts of the cultivator who teamed up with you.”

“I’m sorry, but I won’t tell you,” Yu Qianxi, who knew that she could no longer hide it from Jiang Dai, said boldly.

“Ha ha…” Jiang Dai laughed loudly. “Fairy Yu, you might not be aware of the way I do things, but I love exterminating sects.”

This time, before Yu Qianxi could say anything, the Vast Pure Sacred Sect Master Yuan Hui said, “There is a reason why the Vast Pure Sacred Sect has survived to this day. Even though our sect might not be important in the Dao World, we will not be bullied or humiliated by anyone.”

While he was saying that, Yuan Hui’s aura surged. The vast, majestic aura of a Primordial Chaos expert covered the entire space.

The other Elders and Peak Masters of the Vast Pure Sacred Sect immediately encircled Yuan Hui and their auras soared as well.

“Alright, alright…” Jiang Dai repeated that and took out a flying boat. A moment later, he boarded the flying boat, but it did not immediately leave. Jiang Dai looked at Yu Qianxi and told her, “I’ll give you a chance to tell me Di Jiu’s whereabouts. Otherwise, when I return in 100 days, you will become my wife.”

A few Elders of the Vast Pure Sacred Sect looked at Yu Qianxi. Jiang Dai was infamous and he could definitely exterminate their sect. No matter how strong the Vast Pure Sacred Sect was, it was not stronger than the Great Buddha Mountain.

Even Yu Qianxi’s Master was silent. If she told him Di Jiu’s whereabouts, nothing else would concern the Vast Pure Sacred Sect.

The Dao runes on Jiang Dai were deep. He had been one of the Ten Major Geniuses in the past, but it was probably very hard for a Primordial Chaos expert to threaten him as well. The fact that two Primordial Chaos experts of the Great Buddha Mountain had perished in Jiang Dai’s hands was the best proof.

The Vast Pure Sacred Sect also had one of the Ten Major Geniuses. She was called Huan Yueshan. However, she had been missing for many years without sending any news.

Yu Qianxi took a deep breath and responded calmly, “Di Jiu is Di Jiu, while I am me. Even if I was with him at the Dao Ridge, I don’t know where he is now. Plus, I already have a cultivation partner. I wouldn’t dare to take your joke seriously.”

She had understood. He could check on her definitely because the cultivators at the Body-Tempering Lake had leaked the news.

A light flashed across Jiang Dai’s eyes before he controlled the flying boat and quickly left far away. At the same time, a voice told the cultivators of the Vast Pure Sacred Sect, “In 100 days, I, Jiang Dai, will come to the Vast Pure Sacred Sect to take Fairy Yu as my wife…”

“Qianxi…” Mo Dailing looked at Yu Qianxi, sounding somewhat solemn.

She was not afraid of Jiang Dai. However, if he came 100 days later, even if the Vast Pure Sacred Sect killed him, they would also suffer great damage. Many experts would perish. If something like this happened, the Vast Pure Sacred Sect would practically be struck off the Dao World.

“Master. I would rather do this than go to Dai He Hall,” Yu Qianxi said resolutely.

Before Mo Dailing could finish, Yuan Hui said in a low voice, “Jiang Dai is ambitious. After he wiped out the Azure Sacred Elixir Sect, he vanished without a trace. He has become more aggravated now. He broke the main gate of the Great Buddha Mountain into pieces and even killed two of their Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors…”

“The Five Major Sects are not working together. If they do and they find one or two of the past Ten Major Geniuses, what would Jiang Dai be considered?” a Peak Master said with dissatisfaction.

Yuan Hui nodded. “That’s right. It’s because the Five Major Sects are not working together that Jiang Dai took advantage. His cultivation techniques are no small matter, and he can be considered a ruthless person. He looks as if he came for Qianxi, but I’m sure that even if she enters the Dai He Hall, he will still find another excuse to make a move on the Vast Pure Sacred Sect. In other words, he is just observing the baseline of the Five Major Sects.”

“He’s afraid that the Five Major Sects will unite?” Mo Dailing, who was puzzled, asked.

“That should be right. Back then, he had the chance to climb up the ranks of the Ten Major Geniuses but he gave up. He ranked sixth among them and even obtained the cultivating resources he needed, which allowed him to have a sufficient status without being targeted. However, I still don’t understand what he is scheming.” Yuan Hui frowned.

“Why didn’t he make a move just now?” an Elder asked, unable to understand.

Yuan Hui shook her head and did not answer his question. Only she knew why Jiang Dai had not made a move just now. There was still a Dao Integration expert in the Vast Pure Sacred Sect who had shown crushing power earlier that had made Jiang Dai retreat in fright by force.

Because Jiang Dai had retreated, she was now even more worried. If Jiang Dai had really been scared, he would not have said that he wanted to take Yu Qianxi as his wife. If he had guessed that the Dao Integration expert of the Vast Pure Sacred Sect was terrifying, he would perhaps have become more severe.

“Sect Master, Master, I intend to go to the Void Ocean,” Yu Qianxi, who had completely understood the situation she was in, told them without hesitation.
