Ninth In the World

Chapter 824: The Consequence of Daring to Exterminate the Immortal Lake Sect

“Are you from the Immortal Lake Sect?” Di Jiu looked at the young man in front of him as he asked this question. Based on the young man’s age, Di Jiu could see that the male cultivator’s aptitude was not bad.

He supposed that he had been hiding in the hidden Immortal Array all year round. This young male cultivator was somewhat pale and had messy hair. He should have become a Zenith Heaven Immortal not too long ago and had yet to completely stabilize his cultivation level, as the fluctuation of his Dao runes was greater.

The male cultivator hurriedly replied, “Now is not the time to say all this. We’ll talk about it after we leave this place.”

He was extremely anxious. If Di Jiu didn’t want to see Nong Xiuqi’s former residence, he would have left first.

Di Jiu chuckled. “You don’t have time to leave now even if you want to. Look behind if you don’t believe me.”

When the male cultivator turned back, he saw more than a dozen flying boats rushing over quickly. In the blink of an eye, they landed around the two of them, completely locking the space they were in. The weakest of the cultivators who rushed out of the flying boats was a Zenith Heaven Immortal.

When he saw Solitary River Sect Immortal Emperor Feng Hen and Solitary River Sect Immortal Emperor Jun Yi, a hint of despair appeared in his eyes and he simply said nothing about leaving.

“My name is He Cang, and I am a disciple of the Immortal Lake Sect. When the Immortal Lake Sect was destroyed, I was outside practicing. When I returned, the sect had already disappeared. Thus, I’ve been hiding here.” When He Cang realized that he would die, he simply quietened down. He wanted to ask Di Jiu why he had mentioned Nong Xiuqi.

Senior Nong Xiuqi was the pride of the Microwood Immortal Continent and the Immortal Lake Sect. It had only taken her 300 years to ascend after entering the Immortal World, which was unprecedented.

Di Jiu smiled. “My name is Di Jiu. I guess you didn’t escape immediately because you want to ask me how I know Nong Xiuqi, right?”

He Cang nodded his head. “Yes. Senior Nong is a role model for all the disciples in the Immortal Lake Sect.”

“Ha ha…” Mad laughter echoed. A man in a purple robe walked over and focused his eyes on Di Jiu. “As expected, someone knows Nong Xiuqi. It seems that I didn’t come in vain. Brother Jun Yi…”

The Immortal Emperor called Feng Hen called for Brother Jun Yi before an old man came down from another flying boat. His cultivation level was at the late-stage Immortal Emperor Realm, so it was higher than mid-stage Immortal Emperor Feng Hen’s level.

The old man, who was called Jun Yi, smiled a little but didn’t respond to Feng Hen’s words. Instead, he walked to a place dozens of feet away from Di Jiu and stopped. At the same time, he sized up Di Jiu.

Di Jiu had said that he was looking for Nong Xiuqi’s former residence, which clearly meant that he had a relationship with her. It had taken Nong Xiuqi only 300 years to ascend to the Immortal World. Since he had a deep relationship with Nong Xiuqi, he really did not dare to belittle him.

After Jun Yi’s gaze and Spiritual Force wandered on Di Jiu for a long time, he frowned slightly. Theoretically, Di Jiu was just a late-stage Immortal Emperor at best, but he could not see how deep Di Jiu’s cultivation level was.

“Friend, how are you related to Nong Xiuqi?” When Jun Yi couldn’t see Di Jiu’s cultivation level, he extended his domain and asked him this question with cupped fists.

Di Jiu answered calmly, “I’m her husband. I happened to pass by this place today, so I came to take a look at her former residence and inquire about two people. I didn’t expect that her former residence would have been blasted into pieces.”

“Senior, you are…” He Cang was stunned by Di Jiu’s words. Had Senior Nong Xiuqi’s cultivation partner come?

Di Jiu nodded at He Cang. “Yes, I’m indeed her husband. Tell me what happened to the Immortal Lake Sect. Why did it end up like this? Who caused this and which sect are they from?”

Immortal Emperor Jun Yi and Immortal Emperor Feng Hen looked at each other and made a move all of a sudden at the same time. Two rays of bright light erupted from their sides. Then, the two of them were stunned. Although they drew their Dharma treasures, they were confined.

Since their Dharma treasures were confined, they would definitely flee right away. However, when they were about to do so, the surrounding space froze completely.

At that moment, all the Dao runes that they cultivated seemed to be fake. Although their minds were working, they couldn’t budge at all.

Appalled and horrified, the two Immortal Emperors were now aware that the person before them was not an Immortal Emperor. He had already surpassed that level.

What made them give up all hope was that the dozens of flying boats that had come with them suddenly exploded for no reason. Dozens of cultivators who had gotten out of the flying boats exploded without a reason as well. Apart from the two of them, no one else escaped narrowly.

Dozens of rings landed before He Cang, stunning him.

“Senior…” He Cang, who had come back to his senses, said in disbelief. He clearly had not seen Di Jiu move at all, but the cultivators who had come were all dead. Even the two of them were bound.

“Put away the rings and tell me what I asked you about.” Di Jiu patted He Cang’s shoulder.

He Cang had completely understood that the senior before him was definitely Senior Nong Xiuqi’s cultivation partner. Otherwise, how could he be so formidable?

Thus, he bowed and said with bloodshot eyes, “Senior, the Immortal Lake Sect had an unexpected catastrophe. The Sword Immortal Sect, the Solitary River Sect, and the Starry Flame Sect actually coveted the Immortal Lake Sect’s Immortal Quintessence Lake. After the few seniors of the Immortal Lake Sect ascended, they used this excuse to say that the Immortal Lake Sect had obtained a Supreme Immortal Meridian and worked together to attack the sect. They killed dozens of our Elders and Sect Masters and many disciples. They dug away our immortal spirit herb garden and even moved away the Immortal Quintessence Lake.”

“Except for those three sects, which sects want to kill the Immortal Lake Sect?” Di Jiu’s tone carried a cold intent.

The hearts of Immortal Emperor Feng Hen and Immortal Emperor Jun Yi went cold. They truly regretted believing Sword Immortal Sect Master Shi Xu’s words.

Although the Immortal Lake Sect’s Immortal Quintessence Lake was not bad, there was nothing more to it. It was absolutely not worth offending such an expert over it. Plus, the largest share of the Immortal Quintessence Lake had been taken by Shi Xu.

He Cang shook his head and said, “It’s only these three sects. A lot of sects know that the Immortal Lake Sect doesn’t have any Supreme Immortal Meridians. In other words, even if the Immortal Lake Sect had a Supreme Immortal Meridian, we wouldn’t get a share since these three sects came over.”

Di Jiu’s gaze landed on the two Immortal Emperors, who were bound by his domain, as he faintly said, “Did He Cang accuse you two unfairly earlier?”

A powerful, fierce killing intent crushed over the two Immortal Emperors, rendering them unable to even breathe. Would they still dare lie when Di Jiu had inquired about this?

“Senior, Sword Immortal Sect Master Shi Xu called the shots. We were forced by him. In fact, most of the Immortal Lake Sect’s Immortal Quintessence Lake was taken away by Shi Xu,” Immortal Emperor Jun Yi said in a trembling voice.

“Draw me a portrait of Shi Xu.” After Di Jiu said that, Immortal Emperor Jun Yi suddenly sensed that his hand could move. Therefore, he quickly drew a portrait in the void.

After seeing this portrait, Di Jiu said with a frown, “Why didn’t I see this person?”

Upon hearing that, Immortal Emperor Jun Yi and Immortal Emperor Feng Hen trembled deep down. How powerful was his Spiritual Force if he could say that?

“Senior, Shi Xu has ascended.” Immortal Emperor Jun Yi forcibly calmed himself down.

Di Jiu did not inquire any further. Immortal Emperor Jun Yi and Immortal Emperor Feng Hen had already self-exploded and disappeared without a trace.

Despite feeling shocked, He Cang immediately said, “Senior, I’m willing to go to the Three Major Sects with you to seek revenge.”

Di Jiu smiled slightly. “I don’t have to go there myself.”

Upon saying that, Di Jiu raised his hand and sent three slaps out.

At that moment, the Sword Immortal Sect, the Solitary River Sect, and the Starry Flame Sect saw three huge handprints land from the void.

A deathly aura filled the sects, and their disciples frantically rushed out. However, regardless of their speed, they were slower than this handprint.

Boom! Boom! Boom! After three explosions, the Three Major Sects were turned into fine powder by the three handprints.

The cultivators outside the Three Major Sects were stunned. Many of them had seen the handprints that none of the cultivators of those sects could escape. The Immortal Emperor experts and Qi Refinement Realm nobodies had turned into nothing thanks to those handprints. The Three Major Sects had now turned into three huge traces of handprints.

On the ruins of the Three Major Sects were a few words: This is the consequence of daring to exterminate the Immortal Lake Sect.
