Ninth In the World

Chapter 669: The Ancient Array Pattern

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force was so powerful that his words instantly spread widely across the entire Netherworld Corner Castle and numerous cultivators inside frantically rushed out. This was not the time to wonder whether it was true or not. They had to rush out first.

Two Primordial Dao experts rushed toward Di Jiu. They were not fleeing but they wanted to grind this raving cultivator to death.

Wu Luo, who was setting up a Sealing Array, was furious when he heard Di Jiu. He had prepared to not leave anyone alive, as this was life-force blood. After Di Jiu’s words, many people would certainly flee.

Wu Luo, who had wanted to kill Di Jiu, met two Primordial Dao cultivators rushing out of the Netherworld Corner Castle. He swept up a black long staff, leaving them no chance to resist before being killed by him.

“Brother Wu, hand him over to me.” Then, a solemn voice was heard. Bark-faced Guang Mingzi had pounced toward Di Jiu.

Countless cultivators in the Netherworld Corner Castle had seen Wu Luo kill the two Primordial Dao cultivators. At that moment, these cultivators escaped even more frantically. In the Netherworld Corner Castle, the two strongest Primordial Dao experts were killed by the yellow-faced man. Wu Luo did not have the time to deal with Di Jiu, so he said a sentence before he once again pounced toward the castle.

Di Jiu sighed and turned to run away.

Nobody had expected Di Jiu to run away, including Ji Hongsen.

In their opinion, Di Jiu certainly had a few tricks up his sleeves. That was why he had dared to be so arrogant. Why would such an arrogant cultivator run away before making a move?

Upon seeing Di Jiu run away, Guang Mingzi turned with an evil grin and chased after him without hesitation.

If another cultivator had run away and he chased after him, Ji Hongsen would definitely stop them. He’d still dared to run away after arriving here?

However, Guang Mingzi did not stop him. He knew that he certainly would not find an excuse to run away. If he did, he would not have come to the Thousand Bamboo Void Island to discuss the distribution with him.

Many people had come here, but Guang Mingzi was the only one who had truly ganged up with him secretly and had been assigned this task.

…

After half an hour, Di Jiu stopped.

“Why don’t you keep running away?” Guang Mingzi looked at Di Jiu sarcastically, as his domain had sealed this space.

Di Jiu opened his palm to take out the Heavenly Aqua Saber. He then sighed and said, “Old Bark, to be frank, you’re too slow. If I hadn’t waited so long for you, I would have gone back to the Netherworld Corner Castle again.”

Guang Mingzi did not say anything else. Instead, he took out a huge tree root that instantly matched his domain and raised the spatial domain by one level.

“Go to hell!” When the layered domain sealed Di Jiu, Guang Mingzi shouted loudly and used countless hand seals. Thanks to his hand seals, the tree roots shot out billions of sharp tree thorns. Not only did these tree thorns seal his life-force, but they also ripped apart his domain.

Di Jiu did not move, but his Heavenly Aqua Saber produced a saber flare. The spatial domain that used to be confined and sealed by Guang Mingzi, produced cracking sounds.

Crack! A moment later, every inch of the space that had been layered with his Dharma treasure and domain shattered. At the same time, the tree thorns rapidly slowed down.

Di Jiu moved his hands and the Dao fire turned into a bottomless flame wave. When that flame wave swept over, the tree thorns erupted into crackles and rattles.

“He’s shattering the divine power law…” Guang Mingzi said in horror. Di Jiu’s Divine Essence was not weaker than his despite him being a Primordial Dao cultivator. What was more terrifying was the divine power of Di Jiu, which had shattered the law. No matter how strong he was, he was nothing against that divine power unless he could really crush Di Jiu. However, it was evident that he could not do so.

As for ripping apart Di Jiu’s domain, Guang Mingzi had dared not think about that for a long time.

Leave quickly! This was Guang Mingzi’s only thought. He did not even dare withdraw his tree thorn Dharma treasure. He just turned to leave.

“You want to leave? Take my fist move before leaving!” Di Jiu snorted and lifted his hand to send a fist move out.

The void fluctuated and Guang Mingzi could sense an aura of violent waves sweep over. At that moment, his Principal Spirit started trembling.

Peaks gathered and waves moved furiously. The space had been squeezed by the frantic flowing peaks and violent waves. Guang Mingzi turned his head in horror and shouted anxiously, “Stop, I’m from the Heavenly Purification Clan…”

Bam! Bam! Bam!

When the fist wind landed on Guang Mingzi, his domain immediately shattered and his Principal Spirit produced a sharp yell. The moment he faced death, he understood what Di Jiu had meant previously. If he had not been slow, Di Jiu would have killed him and turned back to the Netherworld Corner Castle. Given Di Jiu’s skill, how could he give up on the Chaos Green Lotus?

Di Jiu lifted his hand to sweep up a ring and said coldly, “You still dare to be so arrogant without even having a small part of Jin Chengxun’s ability.”

Frankly speaking, this fellow was far too inferior to the Demon Clan’s Jin Chengxun. If he had not wanted to teach Ji Hongsen and Wu Luo a lesson, Di Jiu would not have bothered running away to this place.

It only took Di Jiu one hour to run away from the Netherworld Corner Castle and return after killing Guang Mingzi. When he once again returned, it was hell there.

Apart from Ji Hongsen and the rest, Di Jiu did not find any cultivators of the Netherworld Corner Castle alive. As for whether anyone had escaped, Di Jiu did not know. However, he knew very well that even if they had, there would be a limit.

These Primordial Chaos cultivators were really ruthless. Di Jiu sighed, as he still could not stop this with his strength.

“Ha ha… Daoist Wu, this has been hard on you. When Daoist Guang Mingzi returns, we’ll…” Ji Hongsen paused and immediately looked at Di Jiu in amazement. “How come it’s you? Where’s Guang Mingzi?”

After asking this subconsciously, Ji Hongsen realized that since Di Jiu had come back, it would be strange if Guang Mingzi could return.

Di Jiu chuckled. “I gave a few good things to Guang Mingzi and advised him to leave. Then, I came here. Why? The Insular Lord Ji doesn’t seem very welcoming. Could you want to chase and kill me again? If the Insular Lord Ji really wants to do that, I can only run away again.”

Ji Hongsen did not feign his attitude at all. Instead, he said faintly, “Daoist Di has indeed concealed himself very deeply. May I know if any Daoists have any objections?”

At that moment, Ji Hongsen somewhat believed that if he fought with Di Jiu, Di Jiu would injure him. Even though Guang Mingzi had a weak combat strength, he also had an ultimate move. He could layer his Dharma treasure with his domain so that even Ji Hongsen might not necessarily be able to break such a layered spatial domain easily. Apart from that, this layered domain could also rip apart the domain of the other party.

If Di Jiu had really killed Guang Mingzi, he definitely could not deal with Di Jiu alone now.

What disappointed Ji Hongsen was that nobody stepped forward to say anything.

“Since there are no objections, let’s go in.” After Ji Hongsen said that, he led everyone into the Netherworld Corner Castle. He already regarded Di Jiu as a dead man, but he could not make a move on him now because he wanted to exploit him. Unfortunately, Guang Mingzi was his only business partner and he did not know how he had been killed by Di Jiu.

The Netherworld Corner Castle was now filled with blood stains and dead bodies and there was no life-force aura. Even though the cultivators had perished, one could still sense the life-force and blood for a certain time. However, there was no one there. Evidently, the cultivators’ life-force and blood had been absorbed by Wu Luo.

The main castle of the Netherworld Corner Castle looked very majestic. When one stood outside it, it gave off an old, weathered, worn vibe. It was clear that this main castle had been constructed a long time ago.

Ji Hongsen lifted his hand to take out a handful of array flags and threw them down. Then, he executed a huge seal that turned this majestic Netherworld Corner Castle into scraps instantly.

These countless scraps were swept by the array flags before they vanished without a trace. A faintly discernible eight-trigram diagram appeared before everyone, carrying an ancient aura.

“This is the ancient array pattern!” Fan Yuan exclaimed excitedly. He knew very well that this was definitely an ancient array pattern that could not be easily encountered. Each ancient array pattern represented unrivaled opportunities.
