Chapter 792: Xing Xi’s Patience
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
What puzzled Di Jiu was the fact that he was wrong.
Di Jiu had set up Confinement Killing Arrays one after another where he stayed. Although he could certainly teach Xing Xi a lesson, he decided to prevent Xing Xi from leaving after she came.
Xing Xi gave him a very weird feeling. Since even Gou Wansheng had escape techniques, Xing Xi gave off a far stronger vibe than Gou Wansheng. He did not believe that Xing Xi had no means of escaping.
Therefore, he had set up the Confinement Killing Arrays to prevent her from escaping.
Unfortunately, Xing Xi did not come, which meant that Di Jiu had miscalculated.
Qu Fang was still a little worried about Xing Xi during the first few days, but since he hadn’t seen Xing Xi in more than a month, he was gradually relieved and he started to cultivate with all his might. He knew very well that he could not follow Di Jiu all his life. The reason Xing Xi had not come was probably not that she was afraid of Di Jiu. Di Jiu’s cultivation level should be stronger than his, but probably not by too much. What Xing Xi was afraid of was the person behind Di Jiu and the Xian Family.
As for whether there was an expert behind Di Jiu, Qu Fang did not doubt that at all. If Di Jiu did not have an expert backing him up, would the deacon of the Xian Family have come out to welcome him?
Since Xing Xi had not turned up in the first few days, Di Jiu knew that she would not come. At the same time, he also understood Xing Xi a little more. That woman was definitely a crafty person who knew that an inescapable net was waiting for her there.
As for why she had not come, she was definitely not afraid of Di Jiu. She was just worried about the Xian Family. In other words, she did not want to lose this opportunity to obtain the Supreme Glazed True Silver.
In fact, Di Jiu had set up a powerful Trigger Divine Array and a Confinement Killing Array behind it.
Once Xing Xi came over, the whole world would know that someone had sneaked into Di Jiu’s courtyard. That way, Di Jiu could also take a look at the strength of the Xian Family.
If Xing Xi did not come, Di Jiu would not take it to heart. No matter how strong an early-stage Primordial Chaos expert was, who cared if she sneaked an attack on him?
Another month passed before the restriction outside Di Jiu’s door was touched. Di Jiu opened the restriction to see Xian Cang standing there with a big smile.
“Daoist Xian Cang, is the mystic area going to open?” Di Jiu asked with cupped fists.
Xian Cang answered quickly, “No. The eldest daughter of the Xian Family is getting engaged today, so I’m here to invite everyone to the ceremony. Of course, after the ceremony, the mystic area will soon open.”
Cultivators like Di Jiu, who had yet to reach the second step, were not qualified to receive such a warm reception from Xian Cang. Most of them were Dao Birth or Dao Modeling cultivators.
Xian Cang treated Di Jiu that way and was very polite to him of his own accord. Xian Cang had seen Di Jiu’s beast companion and flying shuttle. Besides, when Di Jiu had met him and another Primordial Dao cultivator, not only had he not escaped, but he had also opened the Defense Array to speak honestly.
Based on all these factors, he knew that Di Jiu was not simple. Besides, he was afraid that the power behind Di Jiu was not simple either.
This time, second-step cultivators were invited to the ceremony of the eldest daughter of the Xian Family. These cultivators were basically Primordial Dao Realm cultivators or even stronger cultivators. Thus, Di Jiu was not eligible to participate. Since Xian Cang felt that Di Jiu had an extraordinary background, he had invited Di Jiu on his own initiative mainly to become friends with him.
He had reported Di Jiu’s case, but the Elders of the Xian Family thought that Di Jiu was just a Dao Transformation cultivator. Even if he had someone powerful backing him up, he would still not be worthy of the Xian Family taking the initiative to be friends with him. As for the fact that Di Jiu had a supreme-grade flying shuttle, the Xian Family did not take it seriously.
Since the Xian Family was wealthy, they would not take a supreme-grade flying Dharma treasure into consideration.
“Alright. Please lead the way, Daoist Xian.” Naturally, Di Jiu had no reason to refuse. His only purpose there was getting Supreme Glazed True Silver of one of the highest levels.
One day after the engagement of the eldest daughter of the Xian Family, the mystic area would open. Hence, how could he not go?
…
When Di Jiu and Qu Fang followed Xian Cang to the guest hall of the Xian Family, only a few people were present. The entire guest hall was octagonal and included a total of eight directions.
In addition to the top row, there were two rows of seats in each direction. If each row could seat 20 people, the hall could seat at least 300 people.
The first row was obviously reserved for the most important guests, as a coffee table with divine spirit herbs and divine spirit fruit had been placed next to each seat. The second row was obviously much worse, as there was only a seat.
Xian Cang told Di Jiu apologetically, “Because I am just a deacon, I could only arrange for you to sit in the second row. Please forgive me.”
Di Jiu smiled. “Thank you, Daoist Xian. It’s very nice to be able to sit here and watch the ceremony. Why would I care about the row I am sitting in?”
“Daoist Di, I’m going to receive other guests, so I won’t stay here.” Xian Cang was confident that he had not misjudged Di Jiu. He had invited Di Jiu this time because he actually wanted to sound him out. If Di Jiu made a fuss over a seat, then there would be no need for him to be friends with such a person anymore.
“Brother Xian, please do your thing. I’m fine here,” Di Jiu said indifferently.
Before Xian Cang left, he lowered his voice and sent a voice transmission to Di Jiu, “Daoist Di, the woman who had some conflict with you before is a Primordial Chaos cultivator. Her invitation must have been snatched from someone, presumably so she can go to the mystic area. It would be better not to have a conflict with her, Brother Di. If you have nothing to do, you can spend more time in the Xian Ocean.”
After he said that, Xian Cang walked out without waiting for Di Jiu to answer.
Di Jiu had a good impression of the Xian Family, which had its own way of doing things. Even though Xian Cang clearly knew that Xing Xi had snatched another guest’s invitation, he still treated Xing Xi as a guest. However, the Xian Family had not taken Xing Xi seriously. For the Xian Family, Xing Xi was just an early-stage Primordial Chaos expert who could be crushed at any time.
Evidently, the Xian Family had an ulterior motive. Otherwise, they would probably have slapped Xing Xi to death. Di Jiu reckoned that Xing Xi also knew about that and had not sneaked an attack on him to avoid giving the Xian Family any excuses.
“Big Brother, can I go in with you when the mystic area opens?” Qu Fang, who was sitting beside Di Jiu, asked in a low voice.
“Of course, let’s go in together,” Di Jiu answered. He was sure that if Qu Fang did not dare go in with him, then Xing Xi would absolutely kill Qu Fang before she entered the mystic area. Even though he had yet to fight with that woman, Di Jiu knew that she was by no means an impulsive person.
While Di Jiu and Qu Fang were talking, people came into the guest hall one after another. Without needing to scan him with his Spiritual Force, Di Jiu knew that Xian Cang truly wanted to be friends with him. After all, apart from a few Dao Transformation Realm cultivators, the cultivators who came in were basically at the Primordial Dao Realm or the Primordial Chaos Realm, and only a few were at the Dao Integration Realm.
“That woman is here,” Qu Fang whispered again.
Needless to say, Di Jiu had also seen Xing Xi come in. As though she had not seen Di Jiu and Qu Fang, she was led directly to a seat in the front row by a female servant before she sat down.
Di Jiu had clearly sensed Xing Xi’s Spiritual Force, which had been scanning Qu Fang’s body for a while.
Half an hour later, the guest hall was gradually filled up and people were sitting around Di Jiu. The people in the second row were basically Primordial Dao Realm cultivators, while the first row was reserved for the Primordial Chaos Realm cultivators.
Some Dao Integration cultivators were also sitting at the top left and right.
At that moment, an extremely strong middle-aged man with long black hair came to the forefront and greeted all the cultivators in the hall. Then, he said in a clear voice, “Most of you know me, but some of you are here for the first time and have not met me yet. I would like to introduce myself. My name is Xian Wuxun, and I am currently the Family Head of the Xian Family. First of all, on behalf of the Xian Family, I would like to welcome everyone. Since many friends have come here for the first time, I apologize if the Xian Family has neglected any of you.”
After he said that, Xian Wuxun bowed.
Di Jiu knew, however, that Xian Wuxun was definitely not the one who had suppressed Xing Xi with his Spiritual Force. Furthermore, Xian Wuxun’s cultivation level was not as high as that person’s. Xian Wuxun was at most a mid-stage Dao Integration expert. The person who had suppressed Xing Xi’s Spiritual Force back then was probably a late-stage Dao Integration cultivator or even a perfected Dao Integration cultivator.
As expected, the Xian Family had some heritage.
